A STORY OF THE ORIENT.
Morris Rosenfeld.
IS . THE mean time two hun
dred members of the

American Colored Protec-
tive League met at 1862 West 53rd
ST., where the negroes expressed
their sympathy for the insulted
Jews of the New York Ghetto,
who suffered from injustice and
persecution, just as they, the ne
groes, are suffering for many
years from American ruffians"--
Notice in Jewish paper.
Have you ever heard the story of
the exiled prince? If not, | will tell
it to you.
Many, many years ago, great king
reigned in one of the rich oriental
countries. This king had an only
son. but he was very naughty. The
king loved his son very much and he
tried every means to refine and train
him for the man worthy of ascending
his throne and inheriting the rich
realm
He sent for the greatest of philoso-
phSlo oiit IilC uSoI VI llISIl III
his country, that Ehey advise him
what to do with his prince, but of no
avail. The young man possessed a rare
talent for study; he grasped and I'M
derstood everything, but he misbe-
haved and INDUCED in many things
which were unseemly for one of prince
ly rank
He went into the imperial garden
and destroyed the most beautiful
flowers. He took out of his fathers
crown the most costly gems and threw
them into the mud. Once he got into the
royal palace and killed one of his
fathers royal servants, and then plot
ted against the king himself
When the king saw that no means
were available, he decided to Danish
his son from his realm until he i'm
proved himself.
The court people heard Of this and
came; the barons were notified and as
sembled. The beautiful ladies' wruns
their tender hands. They all prostrat
ed themselves before the king ant
begged and cried bitterly.
"Have mercy, Lord and Comman

disgrace upon your country, and
your own flesh and blood; do not re-
pudiate so severely"
But this embittered the king and
heated his wrath, much more, and he
decreed-his son should go!
And he went.
The entire court stood motionless.
The ministers shook their gray heads
and feared to speak The ladies wept
into their fans, and the pages bit their
fingers. But the king assembled the
tower of his castle near the sea shore,
and looked down to see how his only
child went away to exile.
Long he looked and wept in silence,
and the big tears rolled over his old,
shrunken face and fell into the sea, and
the sea became violently agitated
Years elapsed and the eXiled prince
wandered over strange countries,
whose people he knew not and whose
language he understood not. He was
no more the frolicker of the old times,
no more the merry, lcentious only
SON. The troubles taught him to
groan and often he sunk into deep
thoughts and cried. But however bur-
densome his life was, he did not sur
render, and did not write to his father.
Never mind" he often said to him
self, never mind, | will go so long
till | will come to place. 1t is no.
ticeable that | am not an ordinary
wanderer."
And really, it was noticeable on that
poor ragged man that he was not born
poor. His cloak although rotten and
torn to pieces, still retained marks of
golden laces Tattered was his prince
ly uniform, but from under the worn
ont patches sometimes dangled a gold
thread His sword which used to
hang at his side has long been rusty
and looked like huge worthless piece
of iron; he broke and threw it away.
But the empty sheath remained hang
ing on the faded galloons. His shirt,
which in despair he tore across the
breast, was black and dirty, but one
could recognize that it was silk
Yes, he was a wretched man, a

The old imperial rags which con-
cealed the nakedness of his fatigued
body, sometimes gave him access to
polite people and refined society. II
someone hurt him, they protected him
and he wandered further.
But nothing lasts forever, and those
very rags which he wore on himself,
fell off his body; nay, he threw them
off himself; they annoyed him and he
could not tolerate them any longer
Then he took sack, cut it into
halves and wrapped himself; bound
his feet round with rags, folded to-
gether the imperial clouts into bun
die and further he wandered with
them.
Even the polite no more recognized
him. All considered him a wild, in
sane man. Especially ridiculous was
his bundle. And seeing that he kept
it so dearly, they beat him and tried
to rob him of it. But he was rather
willing to sustain bodily infections in
order to protect his bundle.
Respect my dear bundle!" he oft
en- screamed to the loafers respect
for the rags whose cost you are UNI
able to pay"
But of returning home, the unfor-
tunate prince never thought The
troubles that changed his clothes and
appearance could not recreate MS
heart; he remained obstinate and in
flexible as before.
Once,-and this exactly at place
where they were merciful-a flock or
loafers and rascals befell him and
obstinately tried to strike him dead
And they would have killed him, had
not gang of ,paupers appeared and
interviewed.
Let him go, rascals," they shouted,
Let him go, scoundrels, he is ours
The loafers burst into laughter, but
the beggars stood boldly with their
wandering STATS.
1T is pitiful, bitterly pitiful,' they
i said and shook their heads.
And this helped! Here the eXiled

 PERJURED HERSELF

Rome, Ga, September 19-Declaring that she was driven by the lash of conscience to tell the truth after having perjured herself on the witness stand, where her testimony secured the conviction of Jack Worthington, Barlow county farmer, to 20 years in the penitentiary on the charge of criminal assault, Rosa Elrod, the all legged victim, today made a sensational af- fidavlt in which she says her story of the assault was pure fabrication.
 The girl. accompanied by her father, ap- peared today before notary and the at torneys for Warrington and denied her whole story She admitted having Illicit relations with Worthington, but said they were by consent, and that he was en- gagged to marry her. Her father, J. $. FL rod, swore she made the same confession to him. Both father and daughter de- clared that the false testimony at the trial was caused by threats of death to the girl, made by enemies of Worthing- ton, who had discovered his relations with the Elrod girl and wanted him lynched or jailed. Worthngton's attor- neys will use the affidavit in a motion for a new trial now pending in the appellate court

MORE LITIGATION
 OVER HARRY THAW

Pittsburg. September 19.-(SpecialD That the question of the alleged in- sanity of Harry K. Thaw may result in controversy between the state de- partments of New York and Pennsyl- vania was the opinion of local attor- neys today.
 Former District Attorney James Graham, through Attorney Kahle of .this city, has filed a petition in the local courts praying for the appoint ment of a commission to adjudge Thaw's mental condition in order that he may know to whom he shall apply for something over S2000 due him for legal services. Former Governor Stone representing Roger OMara, Thaw's trustee in bankruptcy has filed an ob- jection to the petition.
 If Thaw is declared sane in Penn sylvania and adjudged insane in New York a most peculiar controversy will arise and the testimony in the case before the local courts could be used in his behalf in New York.
 Mir. Stone said:
 "Thaw has never been declared legal -| tAASsiHS' AHC JuNS iiiSiiI SA "NSNANS Mills that he is a paranoiac Is wrong. Judge Mills admits that the evidence showed that the alleged delusion of Thaw regarding Stanford White was really not a delusion.
 We will prove in a trial of this case that Thaw is sane and satisfy everybody who reads the testimony of that fact. It may be that the court of common pleas will not appoint a commission. I opposed the appoint ment because Thaw is not insane, but is perfectly capable of attending to his own affairs"

Strange as Fiction. Newspaper for Kidney and
 Rheumatic Sufferers.

Tn Germany there is a newspaper published in the interests of all rheu- matic sufferers, and each week symp- toms and treatments are discussed by both laity and medical men. One scientific contributor related that a formula originated especially to re- lieve kidney diseases, had almost phenomenal virtue in the treatment of all forms of rheumatism.
 No secret is made of this formula, which is composed of one-half ounce fluid extract Buchu, one ounce com pound fluid Balmwort and two ounces compound syrup Sarsaparialla, mixed in a bottle, and to be taken in tea spoonful doses after each meal and one at retiring.
 A local druggist expressed the opinion that every rheumatic and kidney sufferer will be grateful for this item.
