ROMANCE OF A ROYAL WILL

Bavarian Princess and Her Husband Re-
stored to Social Standing.
The will of the late empress OF Aus
tria brings to light romance of the
royal court that had long been forgot
ten. Five years ago the empress
favorite granddaughter, Princess Eliz-
abeth, the eldest daughter of Prince
Leopold of Bavaria and the Archduch-
ess Gisela of Austria. eloped with a
young officer in the Bavarian army,
Lieut.. Seefried, who was both penni-
less and plebeian. 1t was a case OF love
at first sight for both, and this mod
ern Romeo and Juliet couple thought
neither of rank nor royal blood. They
made no concealment of their love,
and the young lieutenant boldly asked
the old emperor of Austria for the
hand of this beautiful princess in mar
riage. The Emperor Francis Joseph
was Mortified at his granddaughter's
choice of a penniless and lowly born
army officer for a husband. Consent
to their union was emphatically re-
fused. The upshot was that the prin-
cess and the lieutenant eloped ana
were married in Switzerland. Lieut..
Seefried was Immediately expelled
from the Bavarian army, and Prince
Leopold in his wrath forbade the
young couple to ever again cross the
Bavarian frontier. The Empress of
Austria, however, who had a tender
heart and knew what love was, inter
ceded for her granddaughter. Through
her efforts Lieut.. Seefried was admit
ted into the Austrian army and Gre
ated a baron, but both he and his wife
were rigidly excluded from the Aus
trian and Bavarian courts. Baron
Seefried and the princess lived quietly
and contentedly in a small provincial
town, where his regiment was quar-
tered, and are regarded as a model
married couple. And now in her will
the empress has shown that she had
never forgotten the youthful lovers.
She begs the emperor, as dying re-
quest, to use his influence in behalf
of Baron Seefried and his princes5
wife. She further conveys an en-
treaty to her own daughter, the Arch
duchess Gisela, and her son-in-law,
Prince Leopold of Bavaria, to extend
full pardon to their daughter for her
youthful indiscretion. This appeal
from the dead empress has, of course,
met with a ready response Baron See
fried has been placed on the retired
list of the Austrian army by the en-
peror and given permission to return
to Bavaria with his wife. There he
will enter the German diplomatic serv-
ice. and both will take their proper
rank as the children of royal fam
lily.

La grippe ('.grip'D should not be
allowed to get hold of the system.
When the usual symptoms of lassi-
tude, pain in the bones, with chilli
ness, headache, etc, appear, followed
10y fever and general indisposition, the
patient, if possible, should at once go
to bed and take an "Orangeine" pow
der, dissolved in teacup of hot wa
ter or hot lemonade, as hot as he can
drink it, and cover up well. He should
not throw off the cover because he
feels hot, but let the perspiration come
freely, and the following morning rub
the entire body with a dry towel, take
All '.Orangeine' powder upon the
tongue, or with drink of cold water,
repeating it every four or five hours
during the daytime, and the trouble
will soon disappear. After one night
ii will not be necessary TO remain in

If grip" symptoms appear when
