FAVARIA'S MAD KING.

1t was reported recently in the dis
patches that the mad King Otto Of
Bavaria was nearing his end at F'uer-
stenried. a royal castle of the South
German monarchy The faint of in
sanity has been running through the
house of Wirtelsbach for many years
and has been a blight on the fair name
Of Bavaria.
King Otto has been hopelessly in
sane since the summer Of 1884 and
his aged uncle, Prince LuitpOld. is the
regent Of the kingdom. Yet the royal
tiyle is vested in the useless piece Of
clay, who is approached by his numer-
Gus lackeys ard servants with all OUT
ward signs of homage for he is king.
1t will be surprising TO NEST Ameri-
can readers to learn that the pres mt
king was a demented person when he
succeeded his brother King Ludwig

as president OF the society from 1917
until his death.
The last Of the great army societies
to be formed was that CT the Army OF
the Potomac Soldiers of all ranks are
eligible, ard the association has been
the strongest OF all in membership
partly for the reason that the cd army
was the largest aggregation Of troops
in one command.
Probably the most striking event in
the history of wars was the joint re-
union Of The veterans Of the Army Of
the Potomac and the survivors of the
Army OF Northern Virginia en- the
battlefield CT Gettysburg in 1888, the
twenty-fifth anniversary Of that battle.
This reunion was originated and car
ried to d successful end by the Potomac
society and was hailed in all sections
as the first formal h2nd-shake OF old
antagonists across the bloody chasm
of the War-a reunion OF hearts as well
as of political fortunes. That thrilling
and inspiring occasion gave en- impetus
to the formation Of veteran societies
in the South.
Veteran reunions have been popular
in the South since the close OF the
war, but net until within decade has
there been movement for strong per
manent organizations. The Confeder-
ate Army of the Tennessee Society is
amcng the oldest associations On the
southern side. On the authority of
Confederates in a position to know the
facts credit is given tC the Grand Army

foes the blessings Of veteran organiZa~

the families OF officers who fell in the
war or might thereafter be stricken
by death. A member may designate
by will any relative to whom his mem
bership shall descend, and in default
of such action the eldest son inherits
the fathers title. This society is con-
fined exclusively to officers.
While army societies confined exclu-
sively to officers may, for obvious rea-
sons, display great vitality, they have
never been very popular with Amer
lean veterans. Grand Army men point
with pride to the fact that in their en-
campmerts the private soldier and the
general meet On equal terms as com
rades. In view Of the fact that the in
terest drawing comrades together is
almost wholly sentimental one the
membership in this order has been
phenomenally large and the spirit a
very creditable one. When the order
had tie reputation of being political,
the membership was so low that it Of
ten seemed on the point of dissolution,
and in those States where politics had
the upper hand there was a practical
disbandmel-t OF post.

FORTUNES OF SPAIN.

At one time no doubt Spain was the
richest country in Europe. Within q
few years after the conquest Of Amer
lea more than $1CC0 co., 900 was car

have been maintained In this hemis-
phere there has been stream OF gold

America The three-hfths that re-
NAMED. however. were sufficient TO
make some Of the largest fortunes in
the world. Evidences Of this great
wealth ar still found In all parts of
Spain In the enormous and costly pal
aces and castles scattered over the
country. But the money has largely
been wasted In luxury, gambling and
bad investment and in trying 70 COM

which are cultivated 10 a certain meas

ranches and factories Of various kinds
which formerly belonged to private in

aristocracy. but the soil has been worn
