ANOTHER ROYAL
PRINCE MAKES EYES
<#/ dn
AMERICAN GIRL
NEW YORK.—Who says that
American girls win hearts by
their money and not by theii
beauty? Whoever says so
.speaks contrary to truth, for facts
prove that American charm can win
out even when Mammon has no power
to sway the balance. If any one
doubts this let him read the following
atory:
Not many months ago his imperial
majesty of Germany relegated his
sixth and youngest son to the solitude
of Egyptian lands, “for the \jeneflt of
his health,” said the discreet. The
only indisposition from which his
royal highness suffered, however, was
his royal father’s displeasure. And
that was incurred under circum
stances which proved not the prince's
Iniquity but his good nature.
Prince Joachim is young .and no
milksop. He had a friend who was
even less of a milksop. This friend,
In straitened circumstances, as the
ctory is told, secured the prince's in
dorsement of a note for $10,000,
which, however, he was not able to
meet when the time fell due. The
result was that Prince Joachim left
the Strassburg university suddenly
last March and was sent into banish
ment which was intended to be pun
ishment for an indefinite period. But
the Fates, more kindly than the fa
ther, ordained otherwise.
Last Blaster the principal of the
Willard school, Berlin, determined to
•end the pupils on a vacation trip.
The girlB were placed under the
-charge of Dr. Luce, and Dr. Luce
chose Egypt as the scene of the visit.
Easter, 1913, came in March.
Prince Meets American Girl.
Among the pupils of the Willard
school was a young American girl
named Olive Huntington of Norwich,
Conn. It happened that Dr. Luce's
party met Prince Joachim and his
suite. In fact, thoy were very much
thrown together. The Fates began to
,get less busy. All they had to do
'How was sit and look on, for history
goes to indicate that with the advent
'Of a young lady from the U. S. A.,
entertaining the German prince would
t>e a matter of small difficulty.
Whoever reads with even cursory
Interest the annals of the kaiser's
sons will readily recall the names of
American girls who, at different pe
riods, caused no small heartburning
and anxiety in the imperial palace.
Yes. of course, you remember the
iname of Deacon and the history of
*he Infatuation of no less a personage
than the crown prince himself, an in
fatuation so deep as to inspire terror
into the hearts of his royal parents.
Miss Deacon, however, allayed their
fears and earned the eternal gratitude
4>f the kaiser.
Other Charmere Involved.
But the end of his troubles was not
yet, however. In 1912 rumor connect
ed the name of Miss Alma Orithweffc
of &t. Louis, Mo., with that of Prince
Adalbert, third and most often tumed
>down of the imperial family. They
were convalescing in the same sana
itorium near Augsburg, Bavaria. The
'Tumor died and was no more heard
,of. But America’s daughters were
yet to cross the path of the Emperor
William.
Next came Miss Mildred Devereux to
the German capital and shortly after
'followed the surrender of Prince Joa
chim to her charms But his royal high
, ness was not mortally wounded in
this encounter, ar.d his susceptibili
ties were not tested by any more
American beauties until his royal fa
ther sent him Into exile and the Wil
Jlard school conspired with the Fates
to turn the exile into a pleasant va
cation in March of this year.
Olive Huntington is young—she is
not yet nineteen years old. She is
also petite and pretty. Dark, liquid
eyes gleam out of a face whose
creamy complexion is the envy of all
who behold her. Add to these points
a wealth of brown hair, an attractive
manner and a fund of wit. Then
place the owner of these charms in
a group of solid daughters of the
fatherland—a fatherland Just then
frowning on an exiled son. Loyal
German as he was, Prince Joachim
can scarcely be blamed for preferring
the sparkling gem to its heavy set
ting. But Olive is more than beauti
ful. She is daring. Even royal
princes cannot overawe her, and this
particular royal prince had more than
one reason for delighting in her im
pertinent but witty comments on his
sedate countrymen.
Many Claims to Admiration.
But Olive had still further attrac
tions for the young exile. She dances
well, and Prince Joachim likes danc
ing. Moreover, she plays tennis, and
every one knows the Btory of how
the kaiser’s third son lost his heart
and was likely to lose his rank for a
tennis player.
Then Olive is a sweet, kind-hearted
girl. 'Witness the fact that though
the major share of the attentions of
the young men of Norwich, Conn.,
has always fallen to her lot she has
never aroused the jealousy of her girl
friends. On the contrary, they are
numerous and sincere. Then, she is
accomplished. She can draw and
paint. But that is not all. German
girls may be as insistent as they
please in advancing their claim to
precedence in the world of house
keepers, but who ever heard of a
XT. 171 _ _1 niVlA Alllfl nlflPP
to them? Olive is true to the tra
ditions of the distafT side of her fam
ily. And Olive is a Huntington!—a
Channing-Huntington! If those names
do not at once inspire you with awe
look up the annals of the American
nobility and you will realize your own
shortcomings in the matter of history.
Besides,the Huntingtons were “some
body” even before the Mayflower car
ried them to these shores in 1633.
Joachim Has Talent.
But what of Prince Joachim? Had
he nothing to offer for the favor of
the young American girl?
Well, the daughters of the U. S. A.
are supposed to admire, above all,
men who are practical. Who could
be more so than a Hohenzollern?
This royal family does not rely on
mere rank. If a revolution should
upset the throne of their fathers to
morrow not one of the kaiser’s six
sons but could earn his living. Prince
Joachim might be a smith! But he
is much more likely to choose the
career of a musician, and he would
be no insignificant one, either. Only
last June a phantasy of his in E
minor was performed with marked
success at Carlsbad. Again, not many
years ago, there was talk of sending
him in for competition at the Olympic
games, for the prince is also an ath
lete. But why enumerate his various
claims to beauty's regard? Suffice It
is to say that he inherits from his
ancestors those qualities, both physi
cal and mental, that helped tham to
make a great kingdom out of a small
electorate and a consolidated empire
out of a host of struggling and squab
bling principalities. And who could
expect or deserve more?
Dan Cupid at Work.
Well, whether these young people
were attracted by each other's many
and estimable qualities is doubtful.
i
It Is much more probable that mis
chievous Dan Cupid was performing
one of his usual trloks and shooting
his arrows where he thought they
would be likely to cause most trouble.
This time, however, he was doomed
to disappointment, for there was no
trouble. No parents were distracted,
no boy and girl lovers heartbroken.
The kaiser did not need to play the
stern parent nor the kaiserin to lose
her Bleep.
To be sure. Miss Olive Huntington
and her family would not be over
whelmed by the idea of an alliance
with even a Hohenzollem, even if
such a question should arise. After
all, that family was only beginning
to be known in 1633. A century was
yet to elapse before they assumed
the rank of royalty. And even if'
Uncle Sam confers no titles he never
theless has an aristocracy, and an ex
clusive one, too.
However, such problems did not
bother either the twenty-two-year-old
prince or his little Yankee friend.
They were the best of chums and
they enjoyed tho Eastern vacation
very, very much. Rumor says they
were very sad at parting—and who
isn’t sad at the end of a good time?
However that may be, Prince Joa
chim returned to the fatherland
"much benefited in health.” Miss
Olive Huntington returned to school
and is now about to revisit her na
tive country both heart whole and
fancy free. That the youth of Nor
wich, Conn., will be neither one nor
the other in a very short time, how
ever, is a matter of small doubt. But
they have a high standard to reach,
set as it is by a German prince.—

TWO HIGH FAMILIES UNITED
Native Rulers of Indian States Sub
ject to British Rule Become Al
lied by Marriage.
Two of the most powerful native
ruling families of British India were
united when PrincesB Indira, only
daughter of the reigning maharajah
Goekwar of Baroda, was married in
Lyndon to Prince Jitendra, son of the
maharajah of Cooch-Behar, after a ro
mantic courtship.
The initial ceremony, which took
place in the strictest privacy, was
performed at the hotel where the
young bride had been staying,
and was accompanied by the
customary Hindu rites. Prior to the
marriage Princeos Indira had been re
ceived in to the BrahamiBt faith, the
creed of the bridegroom. Subsequent
ly the forms of a civil marriage were
gone through at a registry office.
Intense interest had been aroused
in the attachment of the couple,
whose wedding had first been fixed to
take place in India May 5, but was
suddenly called oft. Immediately af
terward the bride and her parents
sailed from Bombay for England, and
were followed by Prince Pitendra.
It is understood that the gaekwar
finally yielded to the importunities of
his daughter and consented to the
marriage, at which, however, he was
not present
The bridegroom created a sensation
by appearing at the hotel in his mag
nificent Indian robes of white silk,
heavily embroidered with gold.
The bride’s father and brother,
Shrmial Jalsingrao, are both well
known in the United States, where
the latter studied at Harvard. Her
mother, the maharani, is a woman of
advanced ideas and is the author of
a book on the position of women in
India.
FORETELL COMING OF RAIN
Animal Weather Prophets Are Among
the Most Reliable of WNch There

Cat’s fur is full of electricity, and
before a thunderstorm a cat is always
extremely lively and playful, probably
on account of its electrical condition.
Before rain is expected, yon will see a
cat assiduously washing its face.
Donkeys will bray loudly ami con

If cows lie down in the early morn
ing instead of feeding, or huddle to
gether with their tails to windward,
then there is rain about.
Like cats, the approach of a thun
derstorm makes cows extremely
frisky. They run up and down the
field and butt imaginary obstacles at
such times.
Sheep turn their heads to the wind

personally he used to take great
pride in the excellence of these skin

JUNGLETHRILLER
One Fright Per Minute for Crowd
Watching Keeper.
GETS GASH IN HAND
Without Mishap Until Big Caesar ^
Cage Was Reached.
Chicago—It is not at all an unpleas,
ant sensation to walk into a manicure
shop sit down opposite a pretty maid,
and let her dally with your fingertips
for a half hour or so. But to have
a rope lasso thrown about your str,m
ach, be dragged thirty feet across a
cage, and then have about two inches
of each finger nail clipped oft by a
pair of wire nippers—well, that s not
exactly an enjoyable toilette.
However, that is what happened to
two tigers and three lions at Din
coin park the other day. The scene
was the new animal house at the park,
and Keeper Cy De Vry and seven as
sistants were in the role of manicur
ists.
The manicuring started shortly af
ter noon, Rajah, the big Bengal tiger,
having been selected as the first sub
ject. A stage was placed against the
outer part of the cage, and on this
Keeper De Vry took his place. In his
hands he held a long pole with a rope
loop at the end of it.
After all was in readiness Rajah
was driven from the outer to the inner
cage and the door was closed after
him.
Getting into adjoining cages, two of
the assistants, John Scullion and John
Hegenmiller, shoved a couple of rub
ber covered poles in Rajah s face.
Whereupon Rajah murmured.
But while Rajah was engaged in
this. Keeper De Vry pushed the pole
with the rope loop on it into the cage.
After fifteen minutes of strenuous ex
ertion, he finally managed to get the
loop over Rajah’s head and shoulders.
It then took the combined efforts of
the seven assistants to drag the tiger
to the edge of the cage.
Here Rajah was again permitted to
vent his regal disgust on fresh poles,
while Keeper De Vry trimmed the
tiger’s claws with the wire nippers.
It was a job which required the
Tackled the Tiger.
utmost caution, for Rajah attempted
to do some manicuring himself, Keep
er De Vry’s hand being his object.
The nail trimming was done with
out mishap, however, and the mani
cure party proceeded to the next cage,
occupied by Kitty, Rajah's better half.
She far from conducted herself like
a lady of caste, while her husband
stood by and roared encouragement
to her in her efforts to make a ban
quet of the manicurists. In this she
failed to succeed.
The party next tackled the lions,
King being the first victim. He was
disposed of in about half an hour.
Then followed Emma Eames, once the
sweetest singer in all India liondom.
She was a creature of artistic tem
perament, and it required about an
hour to got her.
The real trouble came when Caesar
was reached. Everyone present looked
like a BrutUB to him, but he didn’t
need a Mark Antony to get people to
lend their ears. They held their fin
gers over ’em most of the time. And,
before the Roman emperor's toilet
was completed, there was a deep gasb
on Keeper De Vry’s right hand.
The cut from Caesar’s claw was
more than an inch long, and when
Keeper De Vry had jerked his hand
from the cage several persons gasped
in fright and started for the doors.
This started a general exodus along
the outskirits of the crowd, more than
200 men, women and children running
outside. A panic was prevented only
by the coolness of several police offi
cers.
"I wouldn’t do 1t again today for
a thousand dollars,’’ said Keeper De
Vry, after it was all over and his
hand had been properly bandaged.
“Whew!”
“It’s a necessary proceeding,
though. You see, there is no way that
a lion or tiger in captivity can keep
its claws worn down, as happens when
they roam in the jungle. So we have
to clip them every ouce in a while.
But it's a mighty tough job."

GIRL’S FAITHFUL DOG
PUTS HOBO TO ROUT
Puppy in Role of Hero When His
Mistress Is Attacked by
a Tramp.
Canal Dover, O.—Rebekah Root is
the comely seventeen-year-old daugh
ter of Jonathan Root, a farmer who
lives north of town. Her consiant
companion in her farm duties is a
young bull pup she calls Raleigh. The
other day she went early to the wood
land near the edge of her father’s
farm to pick blackberries. The ripest
and juciest picking was along a fence
skirting the roadway, and here she
bobbed in and out, sometimes in
sight, often concealed entirely by the
bushes. Raleigh was with her, of
course, but as she seemed to his dog
mind to loiter, he amused himself by
He Could Not Be Shaken Off.
chasing birds and butterflies in the
undergrowth back of the fence.
While busily engaged in filling her
bucket with luscious black beauties,
she suddenly popped out in the road
way, where she was surprised at be
ing confronted by a man. He was
young, roughly dressed and of the
tramp species. Seeing she was alone
he accosted her roughly, asking what
she had in her bucket. She pleasant
ly told him berries and offered him
some, but he grasped her in his arms
and began dragging her backward to
ward the bushes. She had just time
to scream “Raleigh;’ before his rude
hand closed over her mouth, but her
cry was enough.
The faithful pup, alive with instinct
of his kind, abandoned his merry
chase _of winged playmates, and re
sponded almost instantly. As the dog
reached the open, and saw his mis
tress grappling with a hobo, he knew
just what to do. Leaping for the man’s
throat he all but landed, but the
tramp threw him off, at the same time
letting go his hold upon the girl.
Then the flustered and disconcerted
young woman witnessed a pretty fight.
With her berry bucket the fellow suc
cesssfully combatted his dogship for
a time, but finally the dog's teeth be
came set in the slack of the man's
trousers, and he could not be shaken
off. The girl saved the situation by
helping her assailant to get free, and
he ran as fast as he could while she
held her faithful Raleigh and alter
nately laughed and cried.
LIFTS A TUG OUT OF WATER
H«ge Whale Tries to Wreck Vessel,
Then Chases It for Half
a Mile.
Baltimore, Md.—To have their ves
sel lifted three feet out of the water
and to be later chased over half a
mile by an 80-foot whale was the ex
perience of Capt. L. M. Smith and crew
of the seagoing tug Defiance, which
reached port the other day from the
Virc*inin n-unna
Captain Smith Bays the incident oc
curred at one o’clock in the afternoon,
while the tug was cruising between
Cape Henry and False cape, off the
Virginia Beacoast.
“I was lying in my berth at the time
and Mate Jack Reese was at thfe
wheel,” said Captain Smith, "when all
of a 6udden the bow of the tug rose
in the air and dropped with a plunge
and a terrific roll. When I reached
the deck Mate Reese was trying to
steady the vessel, which was still roll
ing, and when he recovered his voice,
said that he had ran over a whale.
“Standing in the pilot house, we
watched the whale, which turned
around and followed the tup for at
least half a mile, then headed toward
the beach as if fatally hurt. While
the whale was following the tug it
lifted about two-thirde of Its body out
of the water. The fin, huge flukes and
almost the entire head were in plain
view.”
