The Duke is the brother OF the late EN-
press Elizabeth OF Austria. He belongs TO 4
branch OF the Bavarian royal family. which
though separate from that now occupying
the throne. enjoys rights OF equality With
reignng houses in every respect.
In youth the Duke was considered the
hsndsomest prince in Europe Just as his
sister, the Austrian Empress. was the pearl

them. They were not bad At for her, ex-
cept that the legs were too long.
He then had military trousers made for
her and ordered her 20 appear before his
friends wearing these with his old army coats.
The Austrian Emperor has always kept up
friendly relations with his brother-in-aw and
paid him occasional visits in spite Of his
morganatic marriages. The poor Baroness
looked forward with considerable interest
to her meeting with her august relative by
marriage.
when the Emperor last visited the Duke
at Munich, she says that the latter compelled
her to appear before His Majesty In her uni
form and perform military exercises for his
amusement. Then he made her wait on the
table.
The Duke compelled his wife 10 wait on
him like slave. and whenever her services
did not quite satisfy his insanely capricious
needs. he punished her severely.
When he reached his seventy-ffth birth
day he had a high chair constructed. large
enough TO hold himself instead OF a baby. In
this he would sit wearing infantile gar
ments. while he compelled his wife, dressed
as a nurse-maid. TO walt upon him. Instead
OF bringing him pap and milk, however. the
nurse-maid had TO serve him with champagne
and other strong dellcacies.
Soon after this his capriciousness took q
turn that seriously threatened her life He
forced her TO jump into Lake Starnberg. the
lake In which his kinsman. the mad King
Ludwig OF Bavaria. drowned himself She
could not help feeling that her husband was
anxious to see another drowning IN the same
place The Duke has a country house and
large estate upon the shores OF the lake
The Duke then played trick that finally
decided her TO abandon the dignity and lux
ury Of being connected with royal family.
He said 20 her one day:
My dear. YOU are growing entirely too
stout You are losing your beautiful figure.
I have thought out a way that viii restore
YOU to the most exquisite proportions Now.

By Way of Introduction

In taking charge of the Mail
as editor, | shall try to make
it worthy Of the community it
represents. Winslow, as Me
tropolis of Northern Arizona,
should be represented by a
local paper second to none in
the state. A town is Judged
by the class of paper that is
published III it, and in order
to make a paper a fair repre-
sentative of the community ii
should champion those causes
which ale to the interest Of
the majority, and should be
their means of expression. It's
editor must the role of wit,
satarist and humorist and be
the "goss p' for the town, but
at the same time refrain from
personal reflections of all
kinds.
A local Daper has to do
principly with local news, and
it's editor must depend upon
his patrons, to a great extent,
to be furnished with such
news as may be Of general in
terest to it's readers.
| wish to say, IN conclusion,
that l shall take an unexpress-
able pride in trying to make
the MAIL a fair representa-
tive of the City Of Winslow, II
| am able to do so and can be
worthy of the patronage Of its
best citizens, and worthy of
the position of spokesman for
their interests, there is no
doubt that this paper will be

zona and one Of the best local

Foolhardiness.

IL trying to save their dogs
life, wealthy couple Of Chi
cago rushed into their burn
ing home and were cremated,
which act savors some of hero
ism, but more Of foolhardi
ness. While the dog is the
oldest of all domesticated ami
mails, and was man S friend
and companion long before the
dawn Of civilization, and while
he has influenced him TO a
very great extent as he strug-
gled along the road of prog
ress, yet he does not deserve
the position he now occupies
in some homes-a position tC
the exclusion Of children.
We can learn a great dea'
from the dog, and have learn
ed and been influenced more
than we might imagine by
him. He teaches us to be
faithful, to spurn the very
thought of desertion in time
of need, but he can never
teach ne he lessons of love
and pity and compassion that
a child can.
While one woman is devils
ing a new collar, set with dia
monds, for her favorite poodle
another is wondering where
she can get pint Of milk &C
save the life Of her baby.
Some contrast, that, when we
