One day the princess met the little chap in 8 eorri- dor in his nurses arms. She would have avoided him, as usual, but as she passed with averted head he suddenly held out his fat, dimpled arms, and on the impulse of the moment she took him from the nurse, while her eyes filled with tears. The little fellow laid his lips on each of her ids, strofing her cheeks with both hands. She gave a sob, and has ever since been hss most devoted slave.

BEE S-rtNGS CURE RHEUMATISM Elder Whitmer Finds 1t a Most Suc-
 cessful Remedy.

If you have rheumatism, healthy swarm of bees can cure you. They will sting the disease out of your body. The bee cure has been known for some time, but 1t isn't always a successful medicine. The latest report of suc- cess is given in the American Bee Journal by Elder Daniel Whitmer. He says: "I believe that bee poison, with some people, is good remedy; it has proved bonanza and antidote to the writer fer many years. Prior to my entering the bee industry had been victim of the disease tn it's different forms, attacking the limbs and other portions of the body. Finally, by cverwork and manual labor, was at" lacked with sciatic rheumatism, re- sulting in paralysis of the back, thighs, kidneys, bladder, etc, and was under the doctors care and confined to my bed and room for three months. Under the doctors treatment 1 be- came convalescent, but unable to per- form manual labor on the farm. AS yet the great numbness in my limbs was so present that in my invalid con- dition I those apieulture as 8 pursuit to give me a livelihood. One day in handling a colony of bees I became somewhat careless in the manipulation and irritated the bees to the extent that they rushed out of the hive and stung mo desperately in the numb parts. Ii I had no feeling before, it wac evident I had then, for I just danced as I never did before, fo. I don't believe in it In twenty-four hours I was a well man, so far as rheumatism Was cor eerpad, numbness @ll gone"

Miss Brown as a Vocalist.

on the program was a song entitled

Gently rendered, and it was readily

he was summoned before the grand
vizier, who forbade further exhibitions
already advertised. He obeyed the in
junction and was about to leave the
city when he was ordered to remain.
Summoned again to the palace he was
asked the amount of his yearly income
from the practice of his profession.
When he stated it he was informed that
this sum would be granted him yearly
on condition that he remain and live in
COnstantinople.
The sharpshooter agreed, and for
awhile led a lazy, luxurious existence,
without inquiring to what he was
indebted for his curious situation.
Finally he got tired, and remembering
that he had wife and child in Buda-
Pesth took French leave" of his royal
patron, packed up his belongings and
started on his journey. Two kilograms
reached him before he arrived at the
end of his trip, both from the grand
vizier, imploring him to return, but he
paid no attention to them, ignoring the
still more brilliant inducements held
out to him. After he had seen his wife,
however, he was persuaded to return
to Yildiz with his entire family, and
was then told why so much fuss had
been made over him. The officials re-
sponsible for the safety of the sultan
feared that if the rifleman were not
conciliated his prowess as a shot would
attract the Young Turkey" party to
employ him to assassinate their mas
ter, and to do to the royal head what he
had done with such nonchalance to
the glass balls during his exhibitions.
They preferred to give him permanent
quarters in the beautiful Bosporous
palace.
Except for a weekly journey to the
mosque, Abdul Hamid never leaves the
grounds of his palace, where a rigor-
ously exact routine is followed. Black
coffee, walk among the artificial riv-
ers, lakes and mountains of his park a
ride in his automobile or electric launch
and an inspection of his wonderful hot
houses make up the morning. The sui
tan is a good, practical workman, and
often spends part of the afternoon with
hammer and chisel in hand. To his
minister of foreign affairs he has given
an deliberately carved writing desk
made by his own hand. He is also pas
sionately fond of horses, and finds an
hour TO spare each day in which to
visit his stables and instruct his men.
A few audiepces must also be given,
and the sultan invariably puts them off
until the last thing. When they are
once over the day is finished. Nowand
thee concert or play is arranged for
him, but he takes only languid inter-
est in this sort of thing. His life seems
destitute of interest or charm, and few
OF his immediate retainers will be sur
prised If he comes finally to tragic
end.

LEADS LONELY LIFE.
Sultan of Turkey Rarely Leaves
His Palace Grounds.
Has the True MosIem Aversion for
EurOpcRns-In Constant Fear OF
Ass1ssinntiOn--His Daily
Routine.

Abdul Hamid, sultan of Turkey
though strong of frame and full of mus
cular vigor, is cursed with an invalid
Temperament which makes him sus-
picious OF every one and least known of
all picturesque and important person
ages. The pure Ottoman blood which
came from his father, Abdul Medjib, is
mingled with that Of a less sturdy race,
for ais mother was an Armeno-Arab,
and gave him his brown skin and that
unmistakable air of languor and mel
ancholy which is his chief character
istic. This trait has a certain charm
for the rare persons who are admitted
to his presence. But besides the am
bassadors of the different countries
few foreigners have ever seen him from
a distance, and still fewer have entered
the royal presence. No one, not even a
humble tradesman who wishes to speak
with one of the cooks of the royal kitch-
en-, is permitted to enter the Yildiz
grounds without showing a card and
answering closely the half-dozen
formal questions put TO every man who
demands admittance.
For Europeans, says the Chicago Rec
ord, the sultan has the true Moslem
aversion. The fits of melancholy that
tend to make him distrustful of all
human kind usually mean revival of
all hatred for Christians, by whom he
well knows that he is judged most
That he appreciates the abili-
ties of Europeans in some respects.
however, is shown by the fact that all
his coachmen, gardeners and upper
servants are chosen from England,
France and Italy, while it is well known
that the Turkish army and navy and
many public institutions count implic-
lily on the services of the hated for
eigners. AL these persons are kept at a
distance, nevertheless, and the sultan's
is made up exclusively from
his own people.
