MERE GIRL IS RULER
Grand Duchess Marie Succeeds

Berlin.-By the death of william
Alexander, Grand Duke Of Luxem-
bourg, the crown of the little prin-
cipality passes to his eldest daughter.
the Grand Duchess Marie, girl who
has not yet reached the eighteenth
anniversary of her birth.
This young girl may In the near
future havesto wrestle with some very
complicated international problems OF
the greatest importance. The years Of
her childhood have been gloomy, and
1t cannot be said that the outlook is
very bright for Luxembourg as a ma
ton.
For the last ten years the grand
duchess's father, Wilhelm Alexander,
had been an invalid. A few weeks
after his accession to the throne he
was stricken with apoplexy. For five
years he had seldom been removed
from his bed and his wife, tn Prin-
cess Maria Anna, Infanta OF Portugal,
and his daughters hardly ever dAftvtt3
castle Of Hohenberg in upper BaS4ria,
where in the peace of the mountains
and forests physicians were trying to
save him from his fate. In the city
Of Luxembourg as well as in Berlin,
Munich and Vienna the grand duchess
and her children were strangers.
They c0dld not with propriety attend
any social functions. The grand duke,
too weak to be brought back to his
own country, found himself to all pur-
poses an exile in Bavaria. This is
why, except the fact that she is
rather gifted musician, very little is
known concerning the personality Of
the young duchess.
For the first time in its history
Luxembourg will have a ruler born
on its own soil. Grand Duchess Marie
was born in the capital on June IA,
1894. One Of the smallest independ-
ent nations in the world. Monaco alone
having a smaller area, Luxembourg
had always been ruled by foreign
princes.

snort of Collar spottInu.

Collar spotting." the new automo-
bile sport, is at its best when the
streets are dirty enough to hold pud-
dies of water. When the broadly
tired wheel of the machine strikes
such a puddle a thin but solid sheet
of water is thrown upward and out
ward. the path 1t takes being deter
mined by the speed of the machine,
the depth of the liquid and, to a GER
tain extent, its consistency. These
three factors make the aiming of the
sheet a matter OF great skill. When
the puddle is close to the curb 1t is
possible for the expert spotter. by
swerving into 1t, to throw the sheet
in such a way as to hit mans col
lar-even when it's narrow one
or the white feathers on a woman's
hat. Not every one is as expert as
this, but the great fun of the sport
lies In the fact that even when you
miss your aim you're pretty sure to
lift something. If it's only skirts or
trousers of pedestrians.

TRIBE HAS ADOPTION DANCE
Writer TeIIs Of Curious Ceremonial Of
Taking q Child Into Shawnee
Family.

New York.-The adoption dance Is
one Of the ceremonial dances of the
Shawnees. This is quite different from
any one of the festive dances. They
come many miles around and camp;
their faces are painted and their per.
sons are decorated with beads.
They dance all day and night with
put eating. A bonfire is built In the
center Of the camp and they dance
around this. The fire is kept burning
about the same all the time. This
serves also as their light.
The adoption dance IL rather quiet,
more 30 than the other dances. The
women do most of the singing, says a
writer in the Red Man, and sing very
low. They dance around in a circle
In twos. The men dance together
In front, and the women together In
the rear.
The two leaders In front are usually
the ones who are adopting the child.
They carry tin pals; in these are rub
Der balls. which bounce and keep time
with the drummers. This is ali the
music they have to dance by. II a
large crowd IL assembled they may
have two or three drums.
At these dances good order Is kept.
No drunkenness is allowed. The dance
is In a grove, and II one does not be-
have decently they tie him to a tree
for. the rest Of the dance. After the
dance they have great feast which
lasts all day, and visitors, and all 9TH
ers who attend the dance, are invited
to partake OF the feast.
