"Luitpold got up, smiling and brush

wasn't even scratched He shook
hands with Billy and thanked him for
saving his life. That's the way he
put it. That afternoon came one of
the princes orderlies to our camp
and presented to Billy, with Luit-
pold's compliments, a diamond stud
ded cigarette case. Billy is in town
now, working with Bradley, the con-
tractor, and he still has the cigarette
case and often tells the story about
how he got it.
That Incident caused lots of noise
about town, as you may imagine. /
suppose it is still remembered by
many citizens of Munich A few min
utes after it had happened the rumor
got downtown that Prince Luitpold
had been assassinated by Indians.
People by the thousands flocked out
to the camp. Half an hour later
there were enough persons on hand
to fill three times every seat ia the
grandstand. In order to dispense
them one of Luitpold's officers lad to
make an announcement that the
prince was all right When Luitpold
himself came out to get into his car
rage there was no end of cheering.
Il doubt" continued Major Burke
IF there ever was a ruler more loved
by his people than Luitpold. The af-
fair with the bucking horse gave US
plenty of opportunity to see how
close he was TO the hearts of all his
subjects.

16 years later, Luitpold came to visit

morning, dined and talked over mat

Snapshot Of Quiet Domestic Scene
When Rivals Fought for the
Control of Mexico.

To make flowers last a week or
more, four things are necessary. First,
do not try to arrange them the mo-
ment you get them, but put them in a
pail of water for a few hours, so that
every stem will be under water up to
the flower. Second, cleanse the vase
thoroughly before putting in the flow
ers and change the water every day.
Third. the cooler you keep the flowers
the longer they will last. If you are
too busy in the morning to enjoy them
OF have to go OF for the afternoon, do
not leave them in the living room. for
they are not used to such a tempera-
ture. Every night put the vase in a
cool place, or better still, plunge the
stems up to the flowers in a pail of
water. Fourth, cut about a quarter of
an inch OF each stem in the morning.
1t is more trouble to do this under
water, but it pays. If you cut the
stems in the ordinary way air bubbles
get into the stems and impede the TAX
ing in of water.-Delineator.

TELLING ABOUT IT BY
THE USE OF MACHINERY

Talking by machinery is not new, for
we all know about the monograph, and
advertising by machinery is done in
endless ways, but to have a man" lee
ture on the advantages of q certain
article, making the proper gestures and
facial expressions, is a novelty that has
made quite q stir in France, where IL
was invented.
Talking dolls, with a small phon--
graph inside them. has been On he
market quite a while, but this auto
maton is distinctly new. A great num-
body, which give it a life-like appear
Nanoe. h mouth moves, the eyes also
move, 1t makes many gestures with tho
whole arms. forearms, hands M Rng-
ers. all Of which are operated by MOTOR
driven mechanism in the base or plat.
form on which this n a stands.
The most remarkable thing about ft
Is that it can be so adjusted that its
movements will fit any speech that
1t placed in the talking apparatus for
reproduction. In all it car assume
5000 different positions. 1t can also
in several places to advertise songs and
all sorts of articles that are demon
strated by lecturing about them.
Some Of the photographic records are
songs which this autOnlaton sings with
proper gestures. 1t can also be dressed
in various costumes, and the inventors
are now at work making the same
thing in the form OF beautiful women,
with a view Of having it serve as a
model for new gowns and talk about
the gowns at h same time.
OF course. 1t is available in any coun-
try, as the record can be made in any
language. It can also be so arranged
that the figure sits eve with the floor
by having the baee that contains the
mechanism sink into the floor.
