ROYAL SOCIETY HAS COMPLICATION Serious Problem for Future of
 Austria Hungary. WIFE NOT RECOGNIZED This Is the Situation in Austria Hut in Hungary It Is Dinerent--In Latter
 Country She Is Not in Line
 For the Throne
WIFE NOT RECOGNIZED

Vienna, February 19-(Special)-When the Archduke Francis Ferdinand suc- ceeds to the dual throne of Austria-Hun- gary, as he must before many years have passed if he .hves. situation will be created which will give him the not least difficult problem of the many which he must solve.
 The heir to the throne is married to the Duchess von Holenberg, 8 beautiful sxech woman. and is devotediy in love with her. Under the Austrian law the marriage is morganatic, the wife cannot ascend the imperial throne with her hus- band. and their children are barred from the succession.
 It is true that Austrian court etiquette has been strained to the point of semi recognition, that is she has been given 8 place in the royal family, though not the place due the wife of the heir apparent of the throne. This concession Is due to the friendship of the aged Emperor, and was influenced by the strong liking Tor the Duchess held by the German Kaiser
 This is the situation so far as Austria is concerned. In Hungary it is different. Not only is the marriage recognized as legal and binding the right of the Duchess to be crowned queen or Hungary and of her children to ascend the throne, but so popular is she with the Szech and Magyar subjects of the Emperor that should she be denied these rights 1t would be likely to intensity the anti-Ger- man feeling already threatening the ex- istence of the dual kingdom.
 The situation is a puzzlng one and just how 1t will be settled when Francis Ferdinand is called to the throne will be worth watching.
 The grand ducal castle and property Of Schlackenwerth will shortly pass into the hands of Archduke Ferdinand. a son of the late Grand Duke of Tuscany. The estate extends into the districts of Plat ten, Karlsbad and Joachimsthal, and the forest ground bearing the name of Vol fling, from which the ex-Archduke Leo pold derives his patronymic, also belongs to the property. Archduke Joseph Fer dinand, with his brothers and sisters, spent part of his youth there. but the last time he visited the place was in 1907, when he went to see the fine exhibi- ton of antlers held there. Archduke Joseph Ferdinand is unmarried, and has lately had a motor accident, from which he is now recovering.

Heroism of German Miners.

The heroes of the hour in Germany
are a party of rescuers who, after per,
forming prodigies of valor, saved six
entombed miners at Wattenscheid,
Westphalia, lately, after they had
been buried alive for 6S1e hours. The
men were entirely without food or
water for nearly four days and nights.
The rescue party worked for two days
and nights before burrowing their way
TO the spot where the miners had been
entombed by the caving in of shaft.
The prisoners were afraid to reveal
their whereabouts by pounding against
the rock, as they feared lest the slight
est pressure would bring fresh masses
down on them. They directed the
rescuers by shouts and cries, and just
as they were about to abandon hope
relief was brought to them.

Got Her New Dress.

mad at her own brother, and here's
you, Opal, havin' no buds to wear to
the picnic But ! don't believe I'd asst
your Pa for a new dress, cause that'd
make everything more disagreeable
than ever"
But Opal could not give up the idea
of new dress, and so, as soon as her
father and her brother Jed were seat
ed at the supper table that evening.
she courageously said: Pa, can
have a new Dress TO wear to the pic
nic?"
"A new dress" echoed her father

it; but this / do know, we've gotta be
awful careful of money Jest now while

"Whatd tell you, Opal?" asked her
mother significantly.
Pa ate his potatoes and meat in
grim silence But after he began on
the rice pudding his scowl gradually
relaxed, and look of peace over
spread his tired face; for the pudding
tasted very good to him. And as he
slowly munched the raisins, he
glanced speculatively at Opal; then.
after every crumb was gone, said
pleasantly, What kind of dress do
You want, Opal?"
"A thin white one; and l can't go
to the picnic without new dress"
Pa sheepishly handed Opal three sill
yer dollars.
"Oh, thank you, Pa" cried Opal joy
fully. Can ! have it, MAJ"
Didn't your Pa give it to you? But

Shot a RarreIfuI of Quail.

John ~ Huntoon, reminiscing in tho
Rock Island Union, recalls the DAYS
when quail were four cents apiece in
Henry county. From a bobsled on tn 3
winding road leading down from AL
fred Taylor's old mill he shot flour
barrel full of the little birds. This
was In the winter of 1860. Times have
changed. At about the time of Mr..
Huntoon's exploit, Chicagoans could
shoot prairies chickens on Western
avenue.
And now quail sell in this market
at so cents a head and prairie chick
ems at $3.50. 1t seems shocking when
considered as an isolated fact. and 1t
is bad enough in all conscience. Yet
in mourning the things that are gone
It is not well to overlook the things
that have come. In 1860 the popula-
ton of Illinois was 1,171,951. In 1910
the census will make it at least 5,000,-

Brave Nurse Saved Patients.

The story of a nurses heroism was
told at st Andrew the other day.
when the Ambulance association OF
Scotland awarded their gold medal to
Miss Sophie Macpherson for bravery
at fire Some time ago the Princess
Christian mission in Freetown, Sierra
Leone, was burned to the ground, the
whole building being destroyed in
90 minutes. Miss Macpherson, who
was then a sister in the hospital,
was walking through the grounds
when she observed that the building
was on fire. She at once ran to the
hospital, and gave the alarm. The ma
tive nurses, unfortunately, became
excited, but Miss Macpherson got the
patients out of bed, and carried them
down the outside stair and into a
place of safety. She returned several
times, in spite of the smoke and
flames, and ultimately succeeded in
saving all the patients (seven in num-
ber) before the arrival of outside
help.
