FREDERICK SIECEL -
ftttT marriage of a crown prince
in an event of sufficient impor
tance to make the subjects of a
monarchy ait tip and take no
tice. Especially la thia the case when
the bridegroom la the prospective em
peror of Germany and king of Prus
sia. Therefore, when it was announc
ed that on June t Frederick William.
fcround 'Quit he himself was too poor to
to do it the murmurs became more
pronounced, and there were indications
that the bill would be fought lu the
reicbstag.
V .Once a Tomboy."
Of the high contracting parties to this
alliance not very much to known con
cerning the young dnebess who thus
becomes the prospective empress of all
the Germans. She was born Sept. 20,
1886, is a sister of the reigning grand
duke of Mecklenburg - Sehwerin, Is
closely related to the grand ducal
bench of Russia, is bHress to a very
considerable fortune in her own right.
Is a Protestant and a devoted sports
woman. She Is said to have been
something of a 'tomboy" in her youn
ger days, galloping madly over the du
cal estates at home and not infre
quently playing merry pranks on the
staid and respectable people who had
her education and bringing up in
charge in fact, a very healthy and
human duchess, who insisted on her
God given right of being a child despite
the restraints of royal red tape. She
plays tennis very well, even beating
the crown prince, who considers him
self no mean hand at the game.
The father of Cecilia was the late
grand duke", who broke his neck In a
rather mysterious fashion by jumping,
falling or being pushed, as the cuse
may be, from a rather high parapet of
his palace.
Lively Times For the Kaiser.
The Grand Duchess Anaatasla, the
mother of Cecilia, is not popular around
the German court, even her prospective
son-in-law having expressed himself as
not being especially enamored of her.
There is believed to be some little cold
ness between the emperor and the
grand duchess, owing partly no doubt
to an incident that occurred In Italy
not loog after the engagement between
the crown prince and the Duchess Ce
cilia was announced. The young peo
ple were to meet at Florence, and the
One ereninc dorlag his early- boy
bood William discovered an opera bat
worn by a guest . and was greatly
amused by the manner in whk-h It
folded and unfolded. A few days lat
er the court chaplain caDed wearing a
shiny new sHk tile. The boy tried the
experiment on this. As It did not fold
well be placed it in a chair and com
manded his younger brother. Eltei
Fritz, to ait on it. and this folded the
bat up very effectually. The chaplain
kept bis ruined tile as a memento of
the occasion.
Whipped For Exercising His Preroritive,
At another time the kaiser found his
eldest son cuffing one of bis younger
brothers. When ordered to stop the
boy said hotly :
"Leave me alone. I am the crown
prince of Germany, and I have a right
to whip whom I please."
"Very good," replied the father, "but
I am the emperor of Germany, and I
have a right to whip the crown
prince," which he proceeded to do in a
very thorough fashion
The court chaplain, he of the smash
ed bat, one day said that all people
are sinners. "Father may be," said
the boy, "but mother is not."
Fond of Dare Devil Feats.
Frederick William was born May 6.
1882. A few years ago be was a stu
dent In the famous University of Bonn,
where he bad some trouble with the
Borussers because he failed to drink
the required number of steins of beer.
But he made up for his defects and iu
other ways came up to specifications,
so he was voted a good fellow. He
spends most of his time riding 'and
shooting and is an expert horseman.
He has won many prizes riding and
has brought down on his bead the roy
al displeasure of his father by bis dare
devil feats. At one time be tied one of
the army officers for first prize in a
vaulting and obstacle race, but gener
ously relinquished his share of the
winning. At another he leaped his

Duchess Cecilia of Mecklenburg
Schwerln tbe whole world was rea
sonably certain that the ceremonies
would be the roost spectacular seen In
Europe for some years. . Tbe fact that
the nuptial knot would be tied In the
magnificent new cathedral fronting
the Imperial palace. Berlin; that the
ceremonies would cost at least a half
million dollars and that they would
be attended by representative of
more royal houses than have been
gathered under a single roof In many
a day added Interest to tbe occasion.
'AH thia delighted tbe soul of the young
prince's Imperial father, who planned
the ceremonies even to the minutest
detail, and who la universally recog
nized as somewhat In the spectacular
lioe himself.
Tbe expenses of the affair were to be
paid, of courwe, from tbe public treas
ury. In addition, polite btnta were
sent out to the various province and
munidpalttlee that they could show
their loyalty to the reigning house by
making presents, which In the very
nature of tbe case wouM have to be
costly. There bas been more or less
xa armaria k because of all this, even
ayotng so far In one Instance as to pre
djatsrte a case In court to prevent this
&verson -of the public revenue. When

kaiser ordered the grand duchess to ac
company her daughter. Not being ac
customed to taking orders, Anastasia
politely declined, whereupon the crown
prince was summarily ordered home.
Some friction also occurred over tbe
ordering of the trousseau. William II.
Insisted on attending to all these little
matters, a procedure that the bride's
mother resented. As a result of all
these things it was declared at one
time that the Grand Duchess Ana
stasia would not attend the marriage
of .her daughter.

Concerning Frederick William, bis
life from boyhood Is known even to
minute details. A very human, ami
able, modest sort, of a boy, not over
brllllant. but given to madcap feats
and having a will of his own. Not
especially prepossessing In appear
ance, but of a susceptible nature, be
has bad numerous affairs of the heart.
FVpular withal, as prospective rulers
usually are. An accomplished horse
man, a fair linguist and quite the gen
tleman in Instinct and training. Even
bas written sentimental poetry of not
very high grade and plays on the vio
lin, but not like a ragantnt. Well
trained as a soldier, devoted to sports,
democratic anl affable, and yet con
scious of bis position. Altogether a
likable youiig man of at least average
quality and attainments.

was the talk of tbe hour. Again he
rode bis borne at breakneck speed up
a hundred stone steps leading to a Ber
lin palace, then, like the proverbial
king of France, rode him down again.
Proposed Over a Cap of Tea.
These and many other escapades,
such as falling In love with Mlae
Gladys Deacon, tbe American beauty,
then with an American chorus girl and
others, are said to have created a
marked coolness between the crown
prince and his father. Tbe effort to
find the young man a suitable wife
was prosecuted long and unavailing!
until he solved tbe question himself by
choosing Duchess Cecilia, to Whom he
proposed over a cup of tea. English
princesses and others were canvassed,
only to be rejected. At one time Em
peror William ordered his son to marry
Princess Thyra of Denmark.
"Not for the whole German empire,"
shouted tbe prince.
Now that the wild oats are sown,
however, tbe German people brieve
that with his marriage the young Bo
bensollern who will become Emperor
William III. If be Uvea will settle
down Into a sedate husband and later
a model ruler. He has never shown the
grasp and Intellectual qualities of his
father, but be Is such a very bamaa
boy that the folks cannot refrain frosa
liking him.
