NOME NOTES

elusive.
Mehes and Hansen will move an
outfit to Martin creek soon where they
have already located pay on the sec
ond beach in that vicinity.

PRINCESS LOUISE OF SAXONY, WHO
EXPOSED WEAKNESS OF KINGS,
IS NOW IN GERMAN MAD HOUSE
ROME.—(Special.) — Broken in
health ami mind, Louise, former
.town princess ol Saxony, publication
of whose memories startled the world,
is an inmate of the insane asylum at
hresden, Germany, according to re
ports here. A woman friend found
her there, detained under a fictitious
name, at the order of the German
commanders who led the invasion of
Belgium. The Germans found her
convalescent in a hospital.
Ten years ago Princess Louise fled
her home with her music teacher, M.
Giron. She was found later by her
husband, now King of Saxony.
Princess Louise is a cousin of the
present Emperor of Austria-Hungary.
She is of the Tuscany branch of the
Hapsburgs.
Her diary’s revelations of life in
royal households of Europe detailed
the alleged attempt of the court chap
lain to force his attentions on rer and
her mother’s “fanatic” rejections of
her appeals for protection.
Her brother lashed the chaplain
with a long whip, while the clergyman
fled to his room, she declared.
. Her father-in-law, George, late
King of Saxony, twice kissed her in
greeting, she declared, but the kiss
felt “like a bit of gritty ice rubbing
against her forehead.”
The three Russian czars, Paul,
Nicholas 1. and Alexander III., were
“brought up with the knout,” accord
ing to the princess, and they “turned
out a madman, a brute, and a people’s
executioner.” Czar Paul, she said,
would “run a mile to cane a soldier”
on whose boots was a speck of dust.
Scored Francis Joseph
I Against the late Francis Joseph,
Kmperor of Austria-Hungary, and her
granduncle, she made a similar charge
He would travel miles, she declared,
to box the ears of a member of his
family.
Because her father-in-law declared
in the state carriage, to avoid acclaim
of the populace, the princess said she
laughed until she had to call her tire
women to loosen her corset.
“The old monkey,” she declared,
“as if he wasn’t after hochs morning,
noon and night.”
Again she drew royal displeasure by
singing out “Prosit” while Kmperor
William of Germany was speaking at
the birthdav dinner of King Albert,
j
her uncle.
The disappearance of the princess
caused as great a sensation in Europe

as did her memoirs, published later.
The princess, her husband and their
children had been at the castle of
Francis Joseph at Salzburg for a
month.
Because of her frequent attacks of
nervousness, the princess had been
under surveillance. One night she re
tired at twelve o'clock; three hours
later maid attendants, gaining no re
sponse to their raps on her door, en
tered.
They found a dumiyy figure had
been placed in her bed and she had
fled. The castle grounds were search
ed and ponds and streams were drag
ged in the belief that she might have
ended her life.
Police of every, kingdom of Europe
joined in the search for her and after
ten days of fruitless anxiety the King
caused to be published a paragraph in
the newspapers announcing her dis-'
appearance and blaming it to her
mental condition.
In HUM, the crown prince obtained
a divorce from the crown princess.
She soon married Professor (iiron.
Francis Joseph promptly deprived
Louise of all archdueal titles and
prerogatives.

Gross Flattery
"Does your wife ever pay you any
compliments?" asked Frederick Jim
son of his friend Benderley.
"Never," replied Benderley.
"Well, mine does; she flatters me."
"Often?"
"Oh, yes, frequently—particularly
in winter,” replied Frederick.
"Why does she flatter you so much
in winter?"
"Whenever the coal-fire needs re
plenishing she points to the fireplace
and says, ‘Frederick, the grate.,"—
Tit-Bits.
Incomprehensible
“Maggie, how was it that I saw a
young man talking with you in the
kitchen last night?” asked the mist
ress of her cook.

The girl pondered for a few mo
ments and then answered, “Faith, an’
I can’t make it out mesilf; you must
t
have looked through the keyhole.”—

Why the Waiter Was Worried
With a smile on his rubicund fea-,
aires the hotel manager was enjoy
ing forty winks. Trade was booming.
The place was full. Good!
Knocks on the door of his sanctum
recalled him to earth. In staggered
a perspiring waiter.
“P-p-p-please, sir,” he stammered,
“I'm in a terrible fix. A gent has just
ordered roast mutton.”
“Well, what of it?” snapped the
manager. “There's plenty of it, isn't
there ?”
“Y-es sir,” breathed the distracted
knight of the napkin, “but he’s al
ready had one portion for venison.”—
London Tit-Bits.
Faith Saves the Righteous
“Ef I seen trouble cornin’/' said

“Well,” said the dubious brother,

“s’pose u hungry tiger wu7. waitin’ for

“In dut case, I’d skin up a tree.”
“But s’pose a hurricane blowed you

“My fr’en’,” replied Brother Wil-j
