French and Italian with fluency; is q
clever artist and evidently cultured in
all branches of literature.
The peculiar physical condition off
the new ruler leads many European
statesmen to think that he will be un-
able to maintain the long-threatened
dynasty of the house of Savoy in secur-
ity, and that he will be the last of thiso
celebrated family to rule the Italian
kingdom.
The house of Savoy is one of the old
est and most distinguished in Europe.
1t was founded by Humbert the
Whitehanded. to whom. in 1927, Ru-
dolph III. of Aries presented the coun-
ties of Savoy and Maurienne, and to
whom Emperor Conrad gave the Salic
Chablais and the lower Valais. This
old Humbert was the ancestor Of all the
princes of Savoy. He died Inc 1893,
and was succeeded by Amadeus L, his
oldest son, and later by Otto, his
fourth son, who, through marriage,
came into possession of the rich coun-e
ties of Turin and Aosta. This was
the beginning of the process by which
the enterprising Savoyards appropri-
ated to themselves. in the course of
nine centuries, the whole Italian pen
insula and the islands tributary to it.
Tradition has it that the princes of
Savoy have during all that time carried
out the advice of Charles Emmanuel
I'LL, who is said to have advised them
to treat Italy as an artichoke, to be
eaten leaf by leaf" In 1888 Count ANA
deus founded law of promogeniture,
which strengthened the family and led
to the acquisition of Nice. Early in the
fifteenth century the courts of Savoy
assumed the title of duke. A few years
later they annexed the principality OF
Piedmont, and early in the eighteenth
century obtained the rich island of
Sicily. With the last acquisition went
royalty and the title of king. In ITO
Sicily was exchanged for Sardinia. At
Genoa was added to the Sandman
crown. King Carlo Felice, the last Of
the male line of Savoy, died in 1881, and
the crown went to Carlo Alberto, head
of one of the younger branches of the
family. Carlo Felice did not like the
king business with its multifarious
worries and dangers, and on March p,
1919, abdicated in favor Of his son, the
late Victor Emmanuel II. The latter
was an aggressive ruler. and by the,
peace of 1859 obtained Lombardy and
soon afterward Parma, Aodena, the
Romagna, Tuscany, Naples and Sicily.
In 1866 he wrested Mantua and venics
from the Austrians. and in 1870 COM
pleted the political unification of Italy
by the absorption of the PApa1 states.

INDIAN MIND CURES.
they Do Not Essentially Differ from
Our Own Methods.
Many Medicine Men Combine the Use
of Vegetable Tinctures with

THAT is medicine, anyway? The
w allopath has no use for the
homeopath or the osteopath
Or hydropath, and each one looks with
suspicion upon the methods of the
Dther. And yet there are followers Of
zach system and people who have the
greatest faith in. all. Mrs. Eddy for
mulates her Christian science" theo-
ries, and she and her followers build
marble churches, and Mark Twain and
other philosophers, preachers and
teachers sheer and scott and ridicule
both theories and followers. We have
faith cures and mind cures and
every other kind of cure, and who shall
say that there is no good in all of these
methods?
Hence when the white man sneers at
the Indians modes of pEacticing med
icine he is merely adding another sheer
to those already piled up against him

the members of his cabinet. For these
reasons his assassination has been de-
plored by the Italians as individuals,
although in their political capacity the
radicals consider his removal q warn
ing to his successor who. they, hope,
will institute reforms calculated to
restore prosperity, peace and happiness
to Italy.
The new king of Italy, who will be
known as Victor Emmanuel Ill, is an
unknown political quantity. Physical
~ he is weakling, but mentally he is
giant. He speaks all the modern lam
guages huently, is scientific scholar
and well trained in the art of war. Al
though but five feet in height, he can
handle sword to perfection, and even
as horseman makes fair showing.
But his health is in a deplorable con-
dition. From his birth, which occurred
November IL, 1859, he was small and
sickly, and despite the devoted care
of nurses and physicians grew up .
puny and ailins boy. In character,
however, the young man is positive.
Like his grandfather, Victor Emman-
ue1. he possesses rare decision of mind
which was first emphasized after the
Italian reverses in Africa when he
openly opposed the policy of Prime
Minister Crispi and accused that states
man of being the principal cause of the
Abyssinian disaster. Later he urged
his father to recall the italian troops
from Africa and reform affairs at home.
To this appeal. chroniclers say. King
Humbert replied: Victor Emmanuel
III. may do SO. but Humbert /. never"
Prior to this episode the prince had not
been popular in Italy, but since theN
the people have had faith in him and
his destiny. How far he may be able
to govern circumstances remains to be0
seen, however. The powers of an Ital-
ian ruler are extremely limited andoto
carry out any measure of reform he
must have powerful and united party
at his command. That he will have
such support seems problematical.
Another event which endeared the
prince to his people was his marriage,
on October "a, 1896, to Princess Helene
of Montenegro, a woman OF striking
appearance and great strength of char
acter. She is nearly six feet tall and
stands head and shoulders over Der
husband. 1t was the hope of the late
king that her health would compen-
safe for his sons weakness. and that
children would be born to the couple,
thereby keeping up the direct line of
succession. This hope has thus far not
been realized. All accounts describe
| the regent queen as being beautiful in
form and figure. She has large, lus-
trous, dark eyes; masses of black hair
of the genuine ravens wing hue; daz-
| zlingly transparent complexioa.anda an
| extremely graceful carriage. She is
fine musician; speaks English, German.

properly cured unless the powers Of
evil were thus conjured away.
Neither was he ashamed to acknowl-
edge to me-his brother tingaivash-
that he humbugged his patients now
and again. Among his other parapher-
MALTA was an old feather buster. With
emphatic gesture he explained that
when a patient came to him needing
powerful cathartic, he gave a strong
dose of some herb or other and then,
with songs and dances, made the sick
man believe he had swallowed the dus-
ter. By some means he kept up the de-
fusion so that the patient could feel
the brush passing through and finally
out of his body, sweeping away with it
all that caused the difficulty. His weak
old eyes merrily twinkled as he de-
scribed his constituencies fraud, and
when asked him: do they really be-
lieve it passes through them?" he re-
piled: SIT is my business to make them
believe it does!"
On a par with this was the magic
practiced by old Roch Jones, the lead
ing medicine man of the Hava Supas,
of Cataract Canyon, Arizona. A pa
tient came to him in great agony. COM
planning of pains in the small of his
back. After making a careful dag
nosis of the trouble, Roch Jones began
his lamentations. He sang song, the
burden of which was: "You are very,
very sick, my friend; yet 1 know how
to cure you. Your back is lame and the
inside of you is sore, and you don't
know what is the matter with you. A
wicked Wallapai has bewitched you
and put lizard into the small of your
back. With my powerful eye can see
him crawling about and biting at the
inside of the small of your back He is
wicked little lizard with bad eye
and poison in his mouth, and none but
1 can suck him from you. I can cure
you, my friend, but you must promise to
| give me five dollars. can restore you
to health, but you must promise to give
me five dollars
The promise was made, and the IT,
carnations to overcome the power Of
the wicked Wallapai began. Now few
incidental bathings and rubbings with
| strong Indian lniments took place,
and finally Roch Jones, STOPPING down
over the sick man, began to suck vigor-
| ously at his back where the supposed
lizard was lodged. He sucked and spat,
and soon, to our amazement, lizard
| sprang from his mouth. It was a fat,
| plump little creature, and had evident
| ~ been living well, and the medicine
man explained that fact by stating
| that he had been feasting on the flesh
| of the sick man.
Is it strange to remark that the in
valid got we'll? The power of the
Wa1lapai was broken, the lizard was
extracted, charms had been worked

than those of the Wallapai, and why
should he not get we'll? What part the

nealthful bathings, head-washings,

be termed Indian mental therapeutics,

1eptic, were taken apart, and trouble
was ayerted for the time. But Capt.
Flint babe the tavern keeper to seal
his hand of cards in a package, and
saw it done before he left the hotel.
Mai. Oxheart saw his hand sealed in
similar package.
A few DAYS later the two friends
met again, and after some talk re-
turned to the game. The hands, still
sealed up. were produced by the hotel
keeper, and the game began where it
had left off. Disagreement again broke
up the game, and again the boniface,
Col. Carter, took charge of the hands,
sealing them in second envelopes. So
for five years the game went on, never
finished, and at each separation Col.
Carter sealed the hands in additional
envelopes.
The war interrupted the friendly
contest, but not for long. Again and
again, as chance permitted, Col. Ok
heart and Lieut.. Col. Flint would get
the packages from Gen. Carter and
begin the never ending game. When
Gen. Carter fell at the head of his men
on that fatal day with which every
reader, etc., he had strength to turn
over the packages to his adjutant.
Taking them from the bosom of his
dress coat-he always wore full uni
form in battle-he gave them to Maj.
Tol1iver and bade him care for them
with his life's blood. Then the gal
liant sportsman and soldier died.

a safe deposit vault. Under the cir
cumstances, it was only natural that
! the two heirs should be represented
| by one person. Col. Enraughty-Darby
related the facts in the case to the
| two young men and left it to their
consciences to lead them to do what
| should be done. He knew well what
| they would do. They went on with
! the game! The same rules stood;
they began where their fathers had
| left off. The progress made was lit
| tie and slow, for their altered circum-
stances kept them apart much of the
| time.
| In time they married and had sons;
to the eldest son each man told the
story of the great game; and it is
these men. grandsons of the original
| players, that carried on the game.
Every week if they could get together
they met and made ten bets. Neither
faltered, though both knew that when
| the end should come one of them
would be ruined for life. But still
they played on.
After the stenographer had gone
| they sat down idly at the table and
called for refreshments. They were
still discussing the market, for they
were partners, one living in this city,
the other in Chicago, when cry of
fire rang through the hotel. They es-
capped with their lives, not remember

lay the record book in which were put
down every ret that they, their faith
ers and their grandfathers had made

simultaneously, over each mans face
came a look of relief, of joy.
