Kate arrives" Cousin Kate arrives after
a pleasant adventure on the train with an
unknown cavalier whom she afterWard

GAVE UP RICHES FOR LOVE
German Prince Sacrificed Career and

It was with proud spirit of self
sacrifice that Prince Eberwyn zu Ben
theim-Steinfurt cousin of the queen
of Holland, gave his hand short time
ago In the London registry office to
Fraulein Lanfenfeld, the daughter Of a
tradesman who had begun life as a
peasant. The German emperor him
self had In vain tried to dissuade him
from such mad step" He turned a
deaf ear to all the threats and en-
treaties Of his family. and formally re-.
nounced his heirship to $l,250.000 a
year to his younger brother, Prince
Victor. Aud when he had thus con-
demned himself to poverty and OBJ
security, he declared, I need not say
that ! am more than happy. AS long
as live, shall rejoice that had the
firmness to place my happiness and
that Of my bride above the medieval
prejudices of my house"
When Prince Eberwyn was thus
gladly sacrificing rank and riches for
love, Count Hans Won Hochberg, heir
to the Duchy OF Rohnstock, was stand
ing at an altar In New York state
with Fraulein Louise CarUw. German
shop GIRL for whose sake he had aban-
doned his claim to the family estate

living as a chauffeur" this young
hero of romance said; and | know
that | shall be happier sharing poor
home with the woman love than IL /

Such romances of today could be
multiplied almost indefinitely from
the love adventures of the Archduke
Leopold Of Austria to the nephew OF
the emperor, who was content to be a
royal outcast for the sake of Fraulein
Ritter, farmers daughter and domestic
servant, to the Prince de Broglie, who
not long ago was conducting an or

the wife for whom he had sacrificed
everything but happiness--the great

years before Christ. The first surgi.
cal implements of which anything is
known are splints found in the NJ
bian desert. In one place a grave
yard was found, and here were re-
mains of bodies with fractured limbs
that had been set with bark splints.
One was a right thigh-bone that had
been broken, and was still held in po-
sition by a workmanlike splint and
bandages. All the knots were true
reef-knots, and the wrapping showed
how the strips of palm-fiber cloth
were set just as good surgeon would
set them nowadays, so as to use the
full strength of the fabric. In other
cases bodies were found with com
pound fractures, where the broken
ends of the bone had broken through
the skin.
