His son, Ruprecht, who till lately intrigued Zor the Poll\h throne, is supposed to be where in Germany. He spends most of his time studying botany in the garden of his somber home, with an_old Bavarian general, the one and only person of his suite who reads books about hunting to him when he Is tired of the garden.

Tirpitz Is nt Lausanne, to the disgust of the tizens, who declare they will turn hxm out. Hindenburg is expected at Locarno, where there is a beautiful lake and almost an Italian climate. At Clarens, amid mountains, lives the exiled Prince Windisschgraetz, who, gossip says, has a secret mission— that is, to prevent the union of Aus- tria with Germany. A Berchtold and Andrassy are in Zu- rich.

Carrara marble is assoclated with the silent beauty of great cathedrals and monuments. . There is none of that dignity about the place of its origin. The little Italian town of Car- rara, huddled beside the mountain quarries for which It exists, is a place of confusion and clamor, of men and -beasts laboring to supply the world with a commodity. The Pyrenees mountains have been supplying this marble for centuries. The quarry workmen have for years toiled, as thelr ancestors before them toiléd, to keep up thé steady outflow of Carrara marble for the hand of sculptor and architect, and even to anake possible that ornamént beloved of our grandmothers, the marble-top- ped tablé. For Carrara’s laborers, sawing and hammering incessaritly, thére comes New Burglar Alarm. A burglar should have a hard thy- to “get by” the new alarm which I recommended as simple and fnexpen sive.

Switzerland is now the favor- ste resort of dethroned and crownless monarchs. Many of them, unhappily dor Swiss hotelkeepers, are fortuneless =s well. Ex-King Constantine of Greece, ktown to his foes as “Tino,” has not %een paying his bills with regularity of late. Since Kaiser Wilhelm, his arother-in-law, hastened into Holland, Aelp from Germany fails to come. So aard up Is “Tino” and his family, who Hve at the Hotel National, Lucerne, that he has had to borrow from former subjeets, notably a courtier named Streit and the once fire-eating Thesto- The weekly bill is 2,400 francs #$480), u modest sum for even an ex- sovereign, with a following of 60 peo- gle, all told.

Then, “Tino” is no longer the little god of all those war profiteers who still flock to Switzerland from the ex- eentral empires. They are tired of wini. His way of accepting sumptu- ows banquets and then cutting his Rosts and hostesses of yesterday when another dinner-giver had arrived, has Sually bored them and Invitations are dew and far bhetween. No longer do his German, Austrian and Greek adwirers give balls for Rim, where lights were turnéd out at %wo In the morning, though the party did not break up till several houts la- ter. The orgies of “red balls” and “pink balls” and even “black balls” {so-called just beciuse the lights went sut before the party broke up, and 2xerybody wore black vhetd the lghts were on, and ull the decorations were Wack) began to shock the decent Bealth or pleasure-seekers at Saint Moritz, Lugane and other resorts, so that the Swiss police had to intervene, and “Tino” gency. To crown all, the exchange is so bad for his dearest friends that they no a Jonger have the money to spend on hix umusement.

She is clothed in melancholy stlauce and takes her place at the tead of the family table in the public dining room of the hotel with an ex- ypression of settled melancholy.

They all have the same characteristics. They are poor, shabby, look bored to death, older than their years, grouchy and dyspeptlc. And they all keep as far away from one another as they can. Some Swiss recently remarked that it would be enough punishhent for Kaiser Wilhelm to bring him to Switz- erland and make him live in close touch with these fallen idols and he- roes. They would give him such a bad time of it, blaming him for their fallen state, that he would clamor to be tried for his sins by the enemies within a week of hls arrival among “friends and colleagues.” RICH, BUT DOESN'T KNOW IT Sailor's Farm in Texas Turns Inte Oil Lake While He's Gone. Eastland, Tex.—Somewhere on the Seven Seas Eli Perkins is by all odds the richest man In the United States naval service. Knowledge of his big fortune has not yet come to him. His father has been trying to_locate him, but what warship he Is on has not been learned. When Perkins enlisted in the navy more than two years-ago, he owned a farm of 80 acres north of here. The soll is poor and has an intrinsic agri- cultural value of perhaps $400. When Perkins entered the navy he left the farm In charge of his father, with full power to act in all matters connected with it. With the first indications of i oll béom the elder Perkihs leased the.80 acres for 23 cents an acre, re- tuining for his son tlie usial one- eighth: royalty of any oil that might be ‘produced. ‘When the field began to dr-velup one-< half of the one-eighth royalty wa3 sold for $40,000 cash, which sum was deposited fn a lecal bank to the credit of young Perkins. Now the big thing | has happened. Thé Sinclalr Gulf Oif company, which has a lease on the 80 cres, has brought In the largest well upon the tract that there is to beé found in any of the central west Tex- as fields. It Is proddcing crudeé petrol- eum at the tate of 10,000° barrels a day. each barrel valued at $2.25. Thé present income of the young man [T] abhout $1.500 & day, and with the bring. ing in of other wells: upon the farm it may be increased several times this sum. He could easily dispose of his royalty rights for $3,000,000. MRS. ROBERT ALLEN DYER HI ing stone long ago became as dull and uninspiring as so much fron or coal.

The minister had asked all the neces- sary questions in the first part of the ceremony, and now came to the final one. Turning to the x\udlence he asked : “Does anyone offer any reason why this couple should not wed?” . . To his surprise and that of all lis- teners the reply came from the bride- groom: “I do.” For that answer had been rehearsed so often in hls mlnd that it was automatie. | At the Cottage Grocery |Send the children as we pay special attention to tl}em.
