duchess met at a grand ball and fell
in love. The Austrian Emperor, whose
favorite granddaughter she was, op-
posed the match, but his determined
granddaughter told him she would
either marry the man she loved or

The Emperor gave way, and The
marriage was celebrated in magnif-

renowned her right of succession to
the dual throne of Austria and Hun

ant, though of an ancient family, was
poor and without royal title, the EN-
peror gave to the bride securities
valued at $1,000 900, yearly allow

900, a gold dinner service, and several
residences.

unfortunate Crown Prince Rudolph

Compliments Were Deserved.

Dr. w. w. Keen of Philadelphia has
great repute as a surgeon. In New
York one winter afternoon last year
he saw a man slip on an icy pavement
and fall heavily He fastened to the
poor fellows assistance and found
that he had broken his leg.
DIR. Keen used his umbrella as a
spiint, and with his own and several
borrowed handkerchiefs bandaged the
broken limb tightly AS he finished
his task the ambulance arrived.
you've bandaged this rather well, -
the young blue uniformed ambulance
surgeon said to DIR. Keen.
Thank you" said the other.
"Oh, not at all. l suppose" the
youth resumed, that you have been
reading up some first aid to the in
jured' treatise, Ell? They say little
learning is dangerous thing, but,
really, the little you nave learned
about surgery you have put to good
account. Give me your name and adj
dress and I'll forward your umbrella
to you.'
iii give you my card" said DIR.
Keen He did so, and the young sur
geon flushed little as he read on it
the name of one of the greatest of
modern surgeons.

The Navy of Colombia

The gunboat Bogota, which consti-
tutes a large part of the strength of
the Colombian navy, has had varied
history.
She was built for yacht at Hull,
England, twenty-five years ago, for the
Maharajah of Clutch in India. He
quickly tired of his yacht and sold her
to an English company which wanted
to use her in the North Pacific.
The vessel was named the Clutch in
honor of her former owner. Five
times in the next few years she was
wrecked, but each time she was
brought to the surface again. For a
time she was used as a ferryboat be-
tween Vancouver, B. c., the western
terminus of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way, and NanaimO, one of the princi-
pal points on Vancouver island, across
the straits of Georgia.
Then the Alaska gold excitement
began and the Clutch became one of
the boats which carried gold seekers
to the North. She also became one of
the many to strike a rocky reef in
those Northern waters, and down
she went for the fifth time.
This time the owners were discour-
aged. They thought the boat was
hoodooed, and after looking at her
in her uncomfortable position decided

And he vanished.
About six months later the genie
called around again. The merchant had
opened a magnificent store, which
was flied with rings. But there were
no customers IN sight.
How is business?" asked the genie

small group of well-known millionaires

His philanthropies are as varied as

she was not worth bothering with
more. Her stern was deep in water,
submerged at high tide, and when the
tide was low a great hole could be
seen in her bow.
The insurance agents visited the
Clutch, lying near Juneau, and decided
that she was a total loss. Then she
was left to. her fate by her owners,
but they did not refuse the small sum
that an American captain offered
them.
This American had particular
fondness for raising sunken vessels
when they had been abandoned. He
was sure he could save her.
He took three or four men with
him and for three months labored be-
tween tides mending the rent in the
hull. Only for an hour or two a day
could he do any work. With the re-
ceding tide each day he carried out
and put in place the big patch, and
when he had it finished and the water
was excluded the boat rose with the
next tide.
Then the captain brought the Clutch
to Seattle, called her the Jessie Ban
ming and made her look like new. An
agent of the Colombian government
came along and bought her for a war
ship. She is 100 feet over all.

then entertaining in his apartment In
the palace the lovely rival.
The Princess is, or was, at least,
deeply in love with the Prince, and
it is said, that the news of his un-
faithfulness provoked storm OF pas
sion that was terrible to witness.
Grasping a gold-mounted revolver
of small caliber, presented to her by
her recreant husband for protection
at an hour of possible. peril, the
Princess crept along the corridors I'M
til she reached the door of the ante
chamber of the Princes apartments.
A valet stood at the door. He had
been told to guard it with his life.
The naughty young Princess com
manded him to step aside.
He refused, with many apologies
The Princess advanced to pass.
The valet put up his arm across the
door.
This act Infatuated still further the
Princess.
She drew from the folds of her
gown the revolver, and, declaring that
if he did not let her pass she would
XIII him, she leveled the weapon at
the trembling valet.
Faithful to his master, the valet
stood. but almost ready to drop from
fright.
Then the Princess, slender, tall and
picturesque, fired at the man.
Uttering a yell of fear, the valet
dashed down the corridor, whereupon
the Princess proceeded to the Princes
apartment, to which the noise of the
thrilling scene in the corridor had not
penetrated.

Prince Otto of Windisch-Graetz, mis-
youthful and immensely wealthy wife,
the Princess Elizabeth Marie, whom
he married only a year ago, and a
pretty actress of the opera at Prague
are the central figures in an extraor-
binary scandal that is at this moment
rending half dozen European cour-s-
The Princess-who is the grand
daughter on her fathers side of the
Emperor of Austria, and on her moth
er's side of the King of the Belgians,
only 20 years old, royal parsonage
who renowned her rights to the
throne of Austria in order to marry as
her heart dictated-has had a narrow
escape from the stigma of murder
ess, for she did nothing less than
shoot and seriously wound the actress
with whom the Prince was having a
rendezvous.
The remarkable affair took place in
the palace of the estate of the Prince
family at Prague. 1t came as shock
to the highest circles of Bohemia,
