DIDN'T FAZE HIS BROTHER
Of Course He Was Not Going to Ad-
nit That the Little Fellow
Was Afraid.

An Indianapolis matron was giving
a birthday party for her little daugh-
ter and had among the guests the two
sons Of the family minister. They en-
joyeG the party and made many quaint
remarks.
But at the supper table they did the
best. Suddenly the fuse burned out
and the dining room was in darkness.
The hostess urged the children to sit
still until she could get some candles.
"But you may eat what is on your
plates If you wish to while am hunt
ing them," she told them.
The youngest son of the parsonage
began to weep aloud. He was really
afraid, but his older brother offered
another explanation. "He doesn't know
what to do, Mrs. -" he said. you

Visitors ascend to the showroOms
which are on the third floor, by means
of stairway in the main tower, which
juts up to height of nearly 200 feet.
The Wagnerian leanings, which were
so important a part of King Ludwig's
life, are evidenced again by series OF
frescoes, showing scenes from the life
of Sfegfried, Tannhaeuser, Lohengrin
and Parsifal, and from the lives OF
those two familiar figures in the 'Meis-
tersinger," Hans Sachs and Walter
Won der VogeIweide, which adorn the
magnificent apartments Of the third
floor. In the gothic bed chamber, Wag-
ner again comes to the fore, for 1t is
adorned with scenes from the story

Product of Wild Extravaganza.
Linderhof, another of Ludwig's fan
tastic palaces, is some seventy miles
from Munich. Like Neuschwanstein, 1t
also is in the Bavarian highlands, sew
en- miles from the famous town of
Oberammergau, renowned all over the
world for it's Passion Play" Under
hof is in the rocco style, and was
built between 1869 and 1879, when
Ludwig was at the height of his wild
career of money-spending. Its princi-
pal feature is the beautiful gardens
that surround it, which attract large
numbers of tourists, who combine a
trip to the castle with visit to Ober-
ammergau.
In these gardens is bronze eques-
trian statue Of Louis XIV of France,
evidence Of the mad Bavarian mon
arch's hallucination that there was
something in common between him and
the great French ruler. This crops up
again in the decorations of the interior
of the palace, which include series
of portraits of French celebrities Of
the time of Louis XIV and his sue
cessor, Louis XIV.
The third of the series of Ludwig
IFS "follies" is Herrenchiemsee, an inn
itation of the great palace Of Versailles,
situated on an island in the Chiemsee,
small lake fifty-seven miles southeast
of Munich. Dollman and Hoffman, two
of the architects who built Neuschwan-
stein (the former also did Linderhof)
were engaged by Ludwig to design
Herrenchiemsee. They worked on 1t
between 1873 and 1885, but left it I'M
completed, as by that time the Bava-
rians had had enough Of the kings
wild ways and were getting ready to
lock him up.
Herranchiemsee is built on three
sides of a square, in which are fine
without water, though, for
many years. In the vestibule is a
beautiful group of enameled peacocks

Ludwig. From the vestibule opens a

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is TIE
result Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

curably insane.
During the time that Ludwig was
pouring out his own and the states
funds in rebuilding old castles and
building the new ones that were to
make his name synonym for extrav-
agance he was bound in intimate
friendship with Richard Wagner, the
famous composer. The signs of this
friendship may be seen in one Of the
castles, Neuschwanstein, where there
are many paintings of scenes from the
legends upon which Wagner based his
world-famous operas.
Neuschwanstein Most Remarkable.
Of the three great palaces which
may revert to the Bavarian state as q
result of the negotiations between the
exiled Bavarian king and the govern
ment which overthrow him, the most
remarkable, both in location and archi-
lecture, is Neuschwanstein. 1t is about
eighty-five miles south of Munich, in
the Bavarian highlands, three miles
from the quaint old town of Fussen,
and close to the old castle of Hohen-
schwangau, which originally belonged
to the house of Guelph and was pur-
chased in 1867 by the dukes of Bava-
ria. Hohenschwangau was the favor
lite residence of the mad King Ludwig,
but, firing of staying long in one place,
he conceived the idea of building an
other castle-palace, in the manner of
the kings of the middle ages. His eye
fell upon precipitous crag close to
Hohenschwangau, and there, between
1869 and 1886, arose the splendid pal.
ace which ranks as the greatest of all
the many monuments to Ludwig's
building mania. Its name, Neusch-
wanstein, is due to the fact that the
nearby castle of Hohenschwangau was
formerly called Schwanstein.
Ludwig set three Of the best-known
Bavarian architeets-Dollman, Riedel
and Hoffman-to work on this creation
Of his wild fancy, and they reared for
him a grand structure in the Roman
esuue style, planned somewhat after
the style of the Wartburg. Here the
influence of Wagner on the king may
be traced, for the Wartburg, in Thur
ingia, is where Tannhauser and other
singers meet, in the Wagnerian opera
