Prince's Dilemma.

The German emperor likes to study the characters of his group of small sons, and to that end has given them a room next to the one used for business purposes for himself. A certain great scientific man, having on one occasion an interview with the emperor, left his hat in the adjoining vestibule. There the little brothers discovered it; and the crown prince, explaining to the younger ones that "papa" sometimes sat on his opera hat and it came all right again, proceeded to give a practical illustration of this statement, to the ruin of the beaver. The emperor's door suddenly opened and "papa" and the professor appeared. Like a manly little fellow the crown prince owned up, apologized to the laughing professor and went off to buy for the old gentleman a new hat with his small pocket change.
