He has earned it b Rracticing as doctor among Munich's very poor A more pretentious man would make a fuss about this and hang the five cents on his watch chain or stick them framed on his drawing room wall But Ludwig Ferdinand is the most modest of royal doctors, and when he had treated his first five-cent patient, he proceeded unobtrusively to treat aronther five cent patient, and so on uninterruptedly for three morning hours until he had cured about 50 pa tients and earned the princely and med teal fees of $2.50.
 The fact is Prince Ludwig Ferdinand has turned himself into a state sick in- surance doctor. with the function of treating the ailments of Munich's working class population. To this ill., paid work not every doctor will stoop, many preferring to treat the poor for nothing. The annual earnings of the bureau doctor or "Kassenarzt" amount
 
 for this the doctor must treat thou sands of patients, so that the rate per patient works out at the price of a postage stamp. In Munich it is just tive cents. For two years past doc tors have been on strike against the states impossible conditions, but peace has now been made and one of the first doctors to apply for the job of touring or killing" the states working class proteges has been Prince Ludwig Fer dinand.
 Prince Ludwig Is the 55-year- old son of the late Prince Adalbert of Bavaria, younger brother of the old Prince Regent Leopold The medical business runs in the Wittelbach family. Ludwig Ferdinands cousin Carl Theodore, is the best of all German eye doctors and operators for cataract, and he cured Kaiser Wilhelm's eye, which was seri- ously threatened by a blow from yachts rope received during North sea voyage. Carl Theodore treats the poor gratis. Ludwig Ferdinand is against this. Last year he told the congress of Bavarian general practii- tioners q am not in this business for my health.

 Hundreds of children, as last Christ mas drew near, wrote to the princess to ask her to find work for them A poor boy of eight wrote to her to say that a magistrates wife assured him he might address the princess just as though she were Santa Claus and tell her that his underwear was worn out and that he had to lie in bed on Sun day when his mother washed and dried 1t. Would the princess be so good as to think of him when she had linen to distribute? Frau Councillor, being questioned about this child, gave a good account of him. He had lost his father and had natural turn for wood carving.

ance doctor and began rapaciously raking in his five cents per case
 l Ludwig Ferdinand is a good looking
 man and he is the favorite of Munichs s applewcmen charwomen and servant
 girls. He takes these to Nymphenberg
 chateau outside the town; gives them drastic medicines and a week to rest and exercise their rheumatic limbs walking about the lawns. This began
 to cause trouble after January 1, last, when domestic servants were included l in the sick insurance scheme. The temptation of being treated by good looking elderly Bavarian prince was
 too much for the servants sense Of 1 honesty, and they proceeded to get value for their insurance premiums
 by falling i'll so zeafous1y that they
 threatened the solvency of the insur-
 ance funds. As this happened only at I the Munich central sick bureau where
 Ludwig Ferdinand attends it was clear
 that his royal highness was acting as
 an epidemic disease.
 1 The sick fund administration con- cluded that Ludwig Ferdinand was
 dear even at five cents, and they ap-
 pointed as his assistant an unroyal
 uninteresting medicv, who treated
 more than half the patients. The char
 women and servant girls felt that it
 was not worth while getting sick for a mere half chance of being treated
 by mad King Ottos first cousin: so the
 flood subsided. and Munch regained it's
 reputation as a healthy town.
 l Ludwig Ferdinand is married to Princess Marie de la Paz. infanta of l Spain, who is an aunt of King Alfonso
 and a very learned lady Unluckily l Princess Marie is not democratic and
 she holds that Ludwig Ferdinand would do better curing imperial eyes like his kinsman than giving health to char women. Munich papers tell painful tales of the princess resentment when the charwoman patients invade Nym- phenberg. She locks herself in her room. Sometimes she flees to Munich and weeps out her sorrows to King
 Ludwig, imploring him to intervene as head of the family and stop the dem ocratic scandal To whicht Ludwig re- plies that he thoroughly approves of the social activities of princes, and here hc drags from his writing desk plans for the improvement of the south Ger man canal system which he has worked out himself The Spanish infanta sheds tears as copiously as if she hoped thereby to raise the level of King Lud- wigs canals.

.SNUDNOSES BOT!HER
 EMPEROR OF RUSSIA
Not Enough In Empire to Fill Out the Payloysky
 Regiment

St Petersburg. August 22.- Especially Nicholas lI's sleep is disturbed by a question Of noses. He has discovered that there are not enough snub noses in his illimitahle empire. and that frau- dulent military bureaucrats are turn ing them out on the principles of bank note forgers.
 The trouble Is with the Pavlovsl<y regiment. which ranks with the Preob- raxhensky, the Semionovsky and the fsmailovgSv regiments as Russias bold est. Each of these regiments is re- eruited with men noted for size. color of hair, or other peculiarity. The Paw lovsllys are recruited because they have snub noses. This Is due to the fact that the regiment takes it's nsme from murdered Czar Paul, whose nose was the snubbiest between Warsaw and Saghalien.
 Of late the supply of snub-nosed con- scripts has fallen off. and only the first ranlSs of each company of the Paw lovskys have had noses adequately snuh The war minister, General " Such omlinoff. took no measures To remedy this serious deficiency from the war standpoint. IL was commented on by nearly all who saw the recent par ade of the PavloV skvs before President Poincare and the "St. Peterburss sslsaja Gazeta," soditious organ. reported that even the front ranks had not snub noses but had Roman or ordinary noses which. by the use of burnt cork. had been made artificially snub.
 This legend came to Nicholas ears and he sent an aide de camp to in- quire. The aide de camp fell into the hands of foes Of General Suchomlinoff and he reported on their authority that the burnt cork story was true. The general rushed to Peterhof and declared it was false
 The public believes the story. It classes the corked snub noses with the "Poetemkin villages specially erect ed out of paper to deceive Empress Catherine.
