has met many strange adventures during the
course of her extensive travels. She has journeyed
all over North and South America, and has written
several remarkable works Brazil, and also about
the United States, which she has visited repeatedly
and studied extensively.
Indeed, the books, which bear on their title page
the name of Theodore Won Bayer" as author, have
won for her all sorts of scientific distinctions in
cluding membership of the Royal Academy of
Bavaria and the degree of Doctor of PhilOogy OF the
University of Munich. While held in high esteem
by the various learned societies, it cannot be said
that she is very popular among the regning families
of Europe who regard her too eccentric for their
taste. Indeed, the only crowned head who mani
tested any admiration and sympathy for her was
the late Emperor Pedro of Brazil Others are likely
to regard her arrival in their capitals source of
embarrassment.
Especially this the case one occasion at the
Court of Lisbon, when she landed there from South
America with a number of wild beasts and noisy
animals in her train. comprising a young puma,
three monkeys, several parrots, and couple OF
trained snakes. Naturally, hotels are dislnclined
to receive guests of this character all the when

Visit of Princess Aribert

THE other case was that of Princess Aribert of An

her husband Forced b. his conduct TO leave him,
she came over here with single attendant, under
the name of Countess Munsterberg but IN order
that no rnisinterpretaton might be placed by her
husbands relatives upon her flight her mother,
Princess Christian arranged by cable that She should
be met by friends on her arrival in New York, and
that She Should be the unofficial guest OF Lord and
Lady Pauncefote while in Washington. 1t was only
after reaching that city that her den- ty as the
granddaughter of Queen Victoria became matter
of public knowledge.
Besides these, there have been during the past
two hundred years not few royal personages who
have sought either temporary or permanent refuge

Authentic instances are recorded of sportsmen

made by the finance department with
the banks the latter are arresting all

are m6saics which are like old tapes

their wares tied together by the legs,

nowadays for rehashing the old Repub-
lican eulogies of the trusts. The trou-
BILE is that he Is saying now what Pres

impression that the President has
changed his mind, and is no better than
a Democrat. Roosevelt is Just as good
Republican as Day or any other
standpatters; but he Is trying to fool
the people, and has evidently succeeded
in foollng Mr.. Day, who cannot under
