EX-KAISER HUNTING A JOB
“I and Willie,” Says Hohenzollern, in Fanciful
Interview, “Took the British at Their Word
and Came Over Here.”
By J. M. BARRIE,
Sir J. M. Barrie supplies below a pendant to “The Kaiser as | Knew
Him for Fourteen Years,” recently published by Arthur N, Davis, the Em
peror William’s American dentist. : # 9 ¢ .
By way of postscript to my remi
niscences of the Kaiser, it may be fit
ting that I should put on record some
account of my last meeting with him,
which took place on ' September 20,
1914, n the anniversary, as it hap
pened, of the day on which the war
ended
I hid run over to Pngland from
Amerta on a professional matter con
necte¢ with porcelain, and, having a
few purs to spare, it struck me that
1 might profitably pass the time in
vistisrg my erstwhile patient. I had,
inded, vaguely had some such inten
tion #hen sailing from New York, and
had brought with me a photograph
of we Kaiser (or all-highest, as he
was always calied), in the hope of
pernading him to sign it as a me
sneto of the days in which I and he
(or, as he would characteristically
havesaid, he and 1) had played so ex
traodinary a part.
I must confess also to having a
curisity to see how that part of him
wag faring with which I was most
intirate, and I contemplated taking a
lastlook at it, of course gratuitously.

waithe Kaiser’'s custom to speak ar
rogntly of “my people“—never “the

At.very few piano stores can you buy a Piano or
Player-Piano for which the seller is in any way
responsible. Here is a store that #s responsible.
Most instruments offered you today are but the
assembled products of a dozen makers, each work
ing according to his own methods, each adding
his own profigt, and none of them directly respon
sible to you for the completed piano.
Make no mistake—the most dependable
motor cars, and the finest pianos, are
made oaeplant by one firm and are not
“‘assembled.”’
The CONOVER, CABLE, KINGSBURY and WEL
LINGTON Pianos and the CAROLA and EUPHONA
Inner-Players you will find in our store are made in our own
factory, guaranteed by our own factory, and sold directly to you
through this, our Factory Headquarters for this city.
And we are also exclusive factory distributors for the celebrated
MASON & HAMLIN, musically the most beautiful piano
the world has ever known.
No matter what price you have in mind to pay you will find
here and NOW an instrument exactly to meet your needs—
a piano or player-piano for which WE are responsible.

stress on his residence being in the
W. district—l had no great difficulty
in finding his new abode in one of
the pleasantest streets in Shepherds
Bush (London). The house is No. 20
in the directory, but the more cozy
name, “The Rhuubarbs.” is painted on
the glass above the door.
Wilhelm's New Home,
My first impressions of the new
home of the Kaiser were decidedly
favorable. It is what is called in
England a “semidetached” or, more
familiarly, a “semi,” the term pre
ferred by the Kaiser himself and fre
quently used by him with some pride
when, later in the day, he showed me
over his various rooms. These are
on two floors, and are seven in num
ber, if you include the bathroom,
which he always did.
It was pleasant to me to note his
pride in “The Rhubarbs.” As he flung
open one door after another, he ex-:
claimed with all the glee of a young
bride:
“This is the dining reom, Davis;
try those chairs, second-hand things,
I don’t think:” or “Observe the paint
ed glass on the landing window—a lit
tle bit of all right, eh, what?' or
“Now I'l show you Willie's bedreom.”
Recalls Other Times. |
But I anticipate. I rang the bell,
recalling as I did so the somewhat
different circumstances in which I had
previously visited my patient at Pots
dam and elsewhere, when more for
mality had to be observed. My sum
mons was answered by the Kaiser
himself, but this was not, as he has-\

tened to assure me, because there 13‘
no domestic in the house. - i
There is a very competent female |
“general,” called by Willle (who wllli
‘have his fun) “Hindenburg,” and by |
the Kaiser simply “the girl.” She |
was out, however, at the pictures at‘
present, and the Kaiser did the hon
ors himself, and did them right
heartily.
- He was looking much better than
when I saw him last, which was at a
time when the responsibilities of the |
war had greatly aged both of us nndi
given a pallor to his countenance,
The nervous twitching of the eye was
gone and he had ceased to stare ap-l
prehensively behind him. |
This was no haughty monarch, l:‘x);
a Jolly little fellow, happy in him
self, happv in his neighbors, a sane
mind, in short, in a sane hody, He
was in his shirt sleeves because, he
laughingly apologized, he had been
engaged about the house on a culinary |
matter. |
Otherwise he was in a serivaceable
suit of gray tweeds, with apron. 1
He recognized me at once and said,
“This is a pleasant surprise, Davis;
come right in. Mind the step. You
will stay and have a snack of supper
with us"—or words to that effect. He
explained that Willie was at the office,
but was sure to be back by the 6:42,
which was his invariable train, |
Lighting a woodbine which he had
courteously offered me, 1 sat down
with him to chat of old times, and the
unexpectgd incidents which had led
to his taking up his domicile in Brit
ain. He said: l
“You remember, Davis, how, as thé
war progressed latterly in an unex-‘
e:cted manner, there was a deal of
Ik among the Allies about what
should be done with me and Willie
on the declaration of peace. In your
great country, Davis, there seemed to
be a general movement in favor of
making use of a hempen rope and a‘
stout tree, such as play an important
part in your ravishing kinema plays
of cowboys.
For my own part, as you remember,
I held out for being treated as Na
poleon was, and sent to St. Helena.
Not necessarily to St. Helena, but to
some island as far as possible from
Germany.”
“Britain Knew Better.”
Here he slapped his hand on his
thigh in the old familiar way, and
exclaimed:
“But Great Britain knew better!” |
“Davis, this wonderful Britain
saved me; this land of the free proved
itself incapable of malice, the demo
cratic spirit of Britain cried out that
everyone had a right to live if he
worked for his living, and that no ex
ception should be made of me and
Willie.”
I noticed that the old arrogant “T
and you” had gone from his talk: he
always now said “you and 1,” except
when speaking of Willle. When
speaking of his son, he always said
“I and Willie.” He continued:
“I and Willie took the British at
their word and came over here with
out molestation, once we had left
German shores. No obgstacles were
put in our way; we were told that if
we could find a way of making a liv
ing we might settle down and be com
fortable, and we have found a way.
“Davis (here he grasped my hand),
II am now in the dentist line myself.
I had learned so much of the busi
ness from you, during our stirring
talks while I was in my chair, that 1
decided to be a demtist.
“Of course, I can never have such
a position as vours, Davis, for I am
not qualified, but this is a poor neigh
borhood and they don’t mind that. If
vou would like me to have a look at
your mouth, Davis"—— ®
But I excused myself, and he con
tinued:
“Though I don’t pretend to be the
best dentist in Shepherd’s Bush, there
are people who say I am the second
best; and at any rate I am doing well.
(He looked at me longingly.) I don't
suppose, Davis, you would consider a
proposition for our going into part
nership?’ .
I had to nip this suggestion in the
bnd, and to change the conversation
asked him about Willie.
He frowned a little:
“Willle had a bad time at first, but
it was his own fault; there was so
little he could do. Also he sulked a
bit. I don't know if you ever noticed
it, Davis, but Willie's tendency was
to be a lazy fellow. I hadn’t been
here a month myself before I got a
job, but Willie used to sprawl about,
smoking, and saying it was infra dig,
for him to work.
- “Of course, we weren't set up so
comfortable then as we are now., We
‘were digging in a second-floor back,
and at last I had to tell Willie that I
would fire him unless he paid for
bis own keep.
| Willie Earns Shillings.
- “After that, he got an occasional
shilling by running after cabs and
the like; but I was against it, Davis:
the glorious spirit of democracy had
sprung to life in me, and I looked on
Willie’s hand-to-mouth way of living
as little better than cadging.
“I made him go to'the newspaper
offices and look over the advertise
ments and, after many disappoint
ments, he at last got a place as a
clerk in the Dental Emporium. He
gets thirty-five bob a week, Davisy
and was complimented by his master
last Christmas.
I hastened to say that, though all
had jurned out so well for him, he
could not, strictly speaking, ecall this
land bis England, but he took me up
stoutly. He told me he now was an
Englishman, for those hospitable peo
ple had allowed him to become nat
‘uralized.
Takes Name of “Holly.”
He also dropped the name Hohen
zollern (by letters poll) and had tak
en that of Holly. He gave me with
not unntural elation one of his
business cards, with “Willilam" Holly
for the Guinea Jaw” on it. He told
me he had voted for Havelock Wil
son at the last election.
It was about this time that Willle
arrived from his day's work, 1 saw
him first from the window, as he
walked smartly up the two-yarfl gar
den, and I thought him the beau ideal
of a brisk London clerk. He was ina
silk hat, black coat and dark gray
trousers, with neat paper cuffs, and
carried a little black bag. His lacka
dalsical manner had quite gone, and
he was cheery and friendly.
He received me warmly, and asked
me to leave my card with him, as
they made a hobby of collecting vis
iting cards.
He was as enthusiastic as his fa
ther about the British, and I noticed
that in any reference to the Germans
he' always added parenthetically,
“Gott strafe them!"™ I pointed out
that they were now a very harmless
people, and he replied heartily, “True,
Davis, true; but still, Gott strafe
them.”
Before I left I got them both to
sign their photographs, “Yours sin
cercly, Wm_ Holly,” and compliments
and good wishes from W, Holly, Jun.,
to Mr® Davis.,” I had told Willie to
add the “Mr.” |

SYMPTOMS: ‘‘A very contagious kind of cold, accompanied by fever, pains in the head,
eyes, ears, back or other parts of the body and a feeling of severe sickness. Symptoms
disappear in three to five days; some patients develop pneumonia, or inflammation of the
ear or meningitis.”’
—(U. 8. Public Health Bulletin.)
WHAT TO DO: Go to bed and call your doctor. "O——
WHAT NOT TO DO: Do not try, nor have others administer various remedies.
PREVENTION: There is none that is certain. A new combined vacecine will usually prevent
. complications such as pneumonia. A physician (and he only) can administer this.
