Rubinstein Proved Hie Ability and Se
cured Hie Pass.
When Rubinstein, the composer, was
a youth he left Russia, his native
country, to study music in France and
Germany. lie finished his studies when
he was twenty years old and then re
turned to St. Petersburg. • But before
he could begin to give public recitals
it was necessary that he should have
a pass from the police authorities, it
was true he was a Russian subject and
a very Inoffensive young man. but
then he had been absent from his na
tive land some time. He might have
imbibed revolutionary ideas when
abroad, and it was best not to take
any risks, but have him registered and
kept under surveillance.
Rubinstein applied to the police for
a pass, but, probably because be was
shy and mild mannered every official
bullied him and gruffly passed him
to another official equally rude and
overbearing. Finally he became so
tired of the indignities that he went
to see the governor general. He had
Just begun to tell his story when that
dignitary roared:
“You a musician? Pah! I’ll put you
in irons and send you to Siberia!
.That’s the only fit place for such as
you!”
Rubinstein nearly faiDted from
fright, but he got away as best he
could. The days went by, and still no
pass came to him. Some of his friends,
however, knew of the treatment he
had received. One day Rubinstein was
summoned to appear beore the chief
of police. General Galichoff. He had
to wait three hours. At last he was
called into the great man’s presence
and addressed as follows:
ncu, juuiio uiuii, i uuvu uccu
spoken to about you. I am told that
you are some sort of musician, but. it
don't believe anything of the kind.
Go to my chief secretary. Schesnok.
and play for him, so thnt we can tell
If you really are a musician—that is. a
man who understands music.”
All this was said in a contemptuous
tone. Rubinstein was taken to the sec
retary, who was the possessor of the
most wretched piano Rubinstein ever
had heard, much less played on. He
was angry and disgusted, and rt
thought flashed across him. Here was
an opportunity to be revenged for the
Insults heaped upon him. He would
vent his indignation ou the piano.
And so he did. He pounded and ham
mered the poor instrument, until it
seemed to shriek. The discordant
notes which came from.it, falling upon
his delicate ear. served but to increase
his rage and frenzy. It was as if a
cyclone was at work. String after
string snapped, and the unhappy sec
retary stood by, expecting every min
ute that his beloved instrument would
fly into splinters. At last Rubinstein
stopped from sheer exhaustion.
"Come with uie,” said the secretary.
And the pianist followed him into
the presence of the chief of police.
“It Is true, your excellency,” he Bald.
“Rubinstein is a great musician.”
“Then give him a pass,” replied the
general.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
Australia’s Flamo Flower.
Waratah is the name of the national
flower of Australia. The traveler who
passes through the Australian bush
sometimes comes suddenly on a burned
out ridge, the undergrowth of which
•has been destroyed by fire. Among
the charred trees tongues of Are still
seem to rise. These are the waratahs,
each stem of which is about six feet
high and bears a flame red flower,
heart shaped nnd the size of a man’s
closed hand. This flower is difficult to
cultivate in a garden, but some people
have succeeded in growing plants from
seed thnt has first been roasted.

Deepest Lake In the World.

of the water Is unknown, and its sur

being so far below the mountain rim
that winds cannot reach it.

CRAZY KING LOUIS
His Part in the Pitiful Tragedy
at Lake Stranberg.
SLEW HIS FRIEND AND DIED.
Th» Mad Bavarian Monarch Beat
Faithful Dr. von Gudden to Death
Before Heart Disease Stopped Hie
Own Dash For Liberty.
For months preceding the tragedy
on June 13, 1886, that ended his life
King Louis II. of Bavaria had re
vealed many unmistakable signs of
mental derangement. He heard mys
terious voices In the air around him
and believed that he was constantly
pursued by dangerous enemies. He
withdrew entirely from the world, his
cabinet ministers were unable to ob
tain access to him, and his domestic
servants were forbidden to look at his
face, being compelled to approach him
with averted eyes. The old valet
Meier was obliged to don a mask to
cover his features whenever he went
near the king, and many other strange
things happened at the magnificent
palace which Loui? had built for him
self with reckless extravagance.
Wearing his crown and purple royal
mantle, with the scepter of sovereign
ty In his hand. King Louis would wan
der through the rooms of his castles
at night, conversing with imaginary
guests, for the most part with the
ghosts of King Louis XIV. of France
and Queen Marie Antoinette. Fre
quently places were laid at his table
for their disembodied spirits.
The king's debts brought matters to
a crisis and necessitated the interven
tion of the Bavarian government. Most
of the royal liabilities had been con
tracted through the construction and
decoration of the famous three castles,
and several creditors threatened to in
itiate proceedings to recover their
money. King Louis requested the gov
ernment to introduce a bill in the Ba
varian legislature granting his prop
erty Immunity from seizure for debts,
and when his ministers refused this
unreasonable demand he tried to bor
row money from all sorts and condi
tions of people.
In April, 1886, the Bavarian chamber
refused to sanction the payment of the
king's debts from the public treasury,
and a few days later the cabinet ad
dressed a respectful petition to Louis
to curtail his expenditures. King Louis
responded by dismissing the whole
cabinet and nominating a new minis
try, at the head of which he placed his
own barber.
This irresponsible act brought mat
ters to a head. A commission of med
ical experts, under the presidency of
Dr. von Gudden, pronounced the king
to be Incurably Insane and Incapable
of ruling, and a deputation under
Baron von Crailsheim was dispatched
from Munich to the castle where Louis
was In residence to Inform his majesty
of his dethronement. The king had
Baron von Crailsheim and all the
members of the deputation arrested.
Then Dr. von Gudden proceeded to
Neuschwnnstein castle, where to all
outward appearances he succeeded In
persuading the king to submit to his
dethronement nnd to retjre to Berg
castle, nenr the shores of Lake Stan
berg, whore the final tragedy was en
acted. The king was escorted to Berg
castle by Dr. von Gudden. another
medical man. Dr. Mueller, and several
trained attendants, and be seemed to
acquiesce In the arrangement that he
should remain there for n year under
close supervision.
Dr. von Gudden. misled by appear
ances, telegraphed,to Munich that his
royal patient was “ns obedient as a
child." and at dinner tha’t evening he
promised to take the king for a walk
In the park Ills assistant. Dr. Muel
ler. wnrned him that It would be
dangerous to go alone with the king
and urged him to allow an attendant
to accompany them, or at least to fol
low them at a discreet distance, but
Dr. von Gnihleu disregarded the young
er man’s i.dvice and paid the penalty
with his life. It was a Sunday even
ing. nnd a general feeling of u:.easi
ness prevailed among those who had
remained at the castle when the king
and Dr. von Gudden failed to reap
pear after an hour had elapsed. Search
parties were organized, and during the
night one of the royal footmen found
the king’s hut. coat and overcoat close
to the bank of the lake and Dr. von
Gudden's umbrella close by on the
ground. The bodies of the king nnd
his physirtnn were found not far from
the shore of the lake. In shallow wa
ter. both heads projecting above the
surface. Dr. von Gudden’s face and
head bore the marks of heavy blows
which the king, a man of immensely
powerful build, had showered upon
him.
The position of the bodies and the
articles of clothing found near them
made it possible to surmise, with prob
able accuracy, the details of the trage
dy. It Is likely that the king intended
to escape from his prison—for ns such
he regarded the castle in which he
was kept ns a madman—and that he
divested himself of overcoat and coat
to swim across the lake. Dr. von Gud
den. It appears, closed with him at the
water’s edge and tried to prevent his
flight, but the king killed him and died
from heart disease at the moment
when he was on the point of begin
ning his swim for liberty. The post
mortem examination revealed that
neither bad died from drowning, but
the king from heart failure and Dr.
von Gudden from the Injuries inflicted
on him in the struggle.—Berlin Cor.

Succssful Men are
Hen of Action
They lay out a plan and then work toward that end everlast
ingly. Without an object—a goal for which to strive, one’s
life can easily be fritted away on mere trifles—things that
amuse for the moment but bring no lasting rewards. Theodore
Roosevelt, when picsident of these United States, foresaw
the effects of this tendency when he said, "The home is the
backbone of oar nation ’’
It lakes backbone, though, to start, but the man who suc
ceeds these days must have backbone.
Better stop and think, and if you have not yet made a start
towards a home come in and let us tell you something about
the cost of a home suited to your needs and explain how you
can possibly arrange to get started today. You’ll find it the
best investment you ever made.
