Late in January, 1869, Rudolf
staged a gay house party at the castle
of Meyerling, some twelve miles from
Vienna. Among the guests was the
Baroness Maria Netsera and gossip
concerning her affair with the crown
prince ran high, finally breaking VITA
a clash when. on the morning OF JAN
uary 30, Rudolfs valet entered his mas
ters bed chamber and found the crown
prince dead and, beside him, the body
of the beautiful baroness.
The first official report stated that
the crown prince had died of apopleXy
but, as his rugged physique and eX-
ceptional health were we'll known
throughout the court circles Of Europe.
this statement was received with
smile and much Struggling of shoul-
ders. Following this there came q
food of rumorS and supposedly "au-
thentic" accounts of the tragedy, some
of which stated that the baroness had
killed herself In despair and that Ru-
dolf had committed suicide when he
found her body, others telling of an al
legged suicide pact between the lovers
and still others limiting at completely
| on the part of certain court officials
who had been instructed to put stop
| to the intimacy between the baroness
| and the crown prince ''at any cost
A fourth story, which gained consid-
| cradle credence on the continent, was
! connected with a former tiance of the
| baroness, whom she had discarded in
favor of Prince Rudolf. This person
| age, whose name was freely mentioned,
was known to have been in the vicin-
ity of Meyerling castle on the night Of
the tragedy, and the report was that
he had secured admittance to the
apartments of the prince by bribing
several of the servants, and had shot
both Rudolf and the baroness, making
his escape before the double murder
was discovered.
Still another angle to the whole at
fair appeared several years later when
the former crown prince and the baro-
ness were reported to have been seen
in the United States, and it was freely
limited that news of their deaths had
been given to the world in order to
cover scandal which would have
shaken the throne Of Austria and i'm
periled the friendship then existing be-
tween that country and Belgium. That
this version Of the tragedy is not as
wild as it appears is evident from the
fact that one Of the foremost ency,
| clopedias states that the crown prince
| 'is believed to have died, probably by
, his own hand, at the Castle Meyerling.'
But the entire affair-whether dou
BILE murder, a suicide pact or an at
tempt to cover a scandal-is only one
of the many tragedies which made
their appearance during the reign O.
Franz-JOseph, tragedies which includ
r ed his unhappy marriage with tn
Princess Elizabeth Of Bavaria; the ex
ecution of his brother, the EmperO
Macmillan Of Mexico; the mysteriou
disappearance Of the Grand Duke Jo
ham Salvador; the murder Of the En-
press Elizabeth at Geneva and the as

CALOMEL GOOD, BUT
AWFUL TREACnEEOUS.
Next Doso May Salivate, Shock Liver
or Attack Your Bones.

You know what calomel IS. It's
mercury!-quickslver. Calomol is
dangerous. 1t crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sicken-
ing you. Calomel attacks the bones
and should never be put into your
system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just
go to your druggist and get bottle
Of Dodson's Liver Tone for few
cents, which is a harmless vegetable
substitute for dangerous calomel
Take spoonful, and If 1t does not
start your liver and straighten you
up better and quicker than nasty
calomel, and without making you
sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great
No salts necessary. Give 1t TO the
children because 1T is perfectly harm
less and can not salivate.-ady.

CO ABROAD FOR OPPORTUNITY
"Go West" Slogan Now oasse; Better
Chance for Young Man in the
Foreign Countries.

Probably no saying Of Horace Gree
ley, the beacon light of multitudes of
threc-quarters of q century ago, was
more widely read, more generally fol-
lowed. or longer remembered than his
continually reiterated cXhortation,
young man, go WeSt!"
That, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle, was satisfactory way Of re-
lieving what was then thought con-
gestion Of population In eastern COM
munities, but 1t no longer answers the
purpose. Today the place for the en-
terprlsing young man to look for Is
1t will be new thought to most Of us
that the time has come when we must
consider emigration as well as immi-
gration-that there are lands Of oppor-
tunlty other than our own.
: This was emphasized recently by
Frank D. Waterman, name we'll
known to those who do not habitually
use a typewriter, with special refer
ence to the centenary celebration
which begins ut Rio Janeiro, Brazil,
next September. 1t has become a ne
cessity with us. rs II has long been
with overpopulated Europe, to seek
outlets In foreign countries for the sur
plus products Of our workers. The
one way to do 1t Is by commercial mis-
siOnaries going to foreign countries
while still forming their minds and
staying there. That Is the way Europe
has built up trade in undcveloped
countries. That is the way we must
adopt If we expect to successfully COM
pete with those countries.

In response to communica ton

rum-running from British territory,
according to announcement made at
government headquarters Of this de-

1t was pointed out that co-opera-

hama Islands is also necessary. The
British admiralty has found the stu
alton full Of complications. Some

Guccd bills OF lading to show that
whiskey cargoes were consigned to
Canada.
1t was suggested that ships carry
ing whiskey from the Bahamas to
Canada register their whskey as
"ballast" when they called at United
States ports, This, however, would
involve duplicity on the part OF the
American port officials.
The admiralty proposed to give
the United States complete account
CT the information it has secured as
to the manner whiskey is taken from
the Bahamas and the methods cm~
ploycd by the ships carrying it.

ESKIMO HAS EAR FOR MUSIC
Natives Of the Arctic Regions Have
Exclusive Right to Their Own
Compositions.

Knllt Rasmussen and Fr!dtjof Nan.
sen and also llin.ich Johannes Rink,
who was sent north years ago by
Lady Franklin to find her husband,
have given to the world valuable
facts about the customs and lives OF
the Esiimos. Christian Ieden's
unique contribution from the arctic
regions is in the field Of music. For
years he studied and faithfully tran.
scrbcd the Innuit melodies. Each
Eskimo, he says, Is obliged to COM
pose his own song, and no person
may sing the song Of another with
out first obtaining permission. The
mother has her cradle song Infinitely
low and sweet. The hunter has his
song Of the chase, clear and bold.
Even the bad man Of the tribe has
his song, and 1t was quick and ap-
propriately braZen.
Harmony has not been developed
among the Eskimos They sing only
III unison. But their melodies are
weird and wistful, often consisting
Of only two or three motives, which
are strangely effective.
1t Is during the long polar night
that the Eskimo has time to rest in
his lgloo and sing his songs.
