The richest prince is not always he that
reigns over the most extensive and popu-
lous empire, with the largest and most
prosperous cities and the best-iilled treas.
ure house, says an exchange.
Back in the middle ages there reigned
a prince, called Eberhard the Good, who

true, and his little principally Was the
envied corner of Europe, for though he
was only grand duke, he ruled 80 justly
and well that his subjects were happy
and they loyed him as father.
There WAS "A feast one day at the city Of
Worms and all the German princes were
drinking wine at the banquet table, when
a dispute arose rs to which of them wat
the richest and most prosperous.
Prince Ernest OF Saxony boosted o.
broad domains brlmmIng with gold anC
and silver mines aud his great palace
filled with golden treasure.
II am richer than he," said Electoi
Frederick Of the Rhine. "From my
grand castle at Heidelberg | can look
over leagues and leagues of hilsides
covered with vineyards and valleys rich
with golden grain fields"
King Louis OF bavaria claimed the
palm OF sovereignty because" he said
prosperous cities and rich old cloisters
with works OF art are greater treasures
than gold or silver mines, vineyards Of
ripenei grain fields"
"Then they all looked at the old lore
of Wurtemberg, whose hair and bearC

peaks and whose blue eyes were shnins

II have little to boast Of" he said
meeky. "There are but few cities il

treasure and precious stones. But owl
one rare jewell can wander anywhere
in my domains without fear and lay my
old head in peaceful sInmber in the cot o

at is enough they cried in chorus

and there SEEING to be a tendency TO ex-
spand purchases on account Of the visible
on the local market. Retailers are SAID
to be enjoying a period of activity IN al
seasonable lines of goods. Print cloths
seem to have reached a basis on which
trading meets the requirements OF both
sellers and buyers. The sales Of the week
on q basis of DC. for extras have been
heavy, and bid fair to continue up to the
close. odd goods have also been sold In
large numbers. Prints maintain the rela-
tive strength which has characterized
them for several weeks. The demand
from the South Is somewhat heavier than
II was during the height Of the fever
scare, both for fancies and staples. The
latter are stronger than fancies. Woollen
and worsted goods show no change from
their previously strong condition.
