EUROPE'S ROYAL NURSERIES
Children in Fourteen Oat of Eighteen
Courts.
NATIONS OP ROYAL YOUNGSTERS
l.tttle Prince of Norway .Stands
for Ills Parents' Rights
Infante of Spain Grants r
a Petition.
Crrtalhly In fourteen and probably In
fifteen of the eighteen empires and king
doms of Europe there are families of young
children who are growing up as heirs di
rect or presumptive to the throne. In a
few cases they are children of the sov
ereign; oftener they are grandchildren or
nephews. In the case of Sweden there is
a great grandson.
The most pathetic of the childless courts
is that of Holland. In Austria and Portu
gal the ultimate living heirs are young men
still unmarried. -
The doubtful case ts Turkey. The "Al-
manach de Gotha" gives no particulars
as to the domestlo status of Bellm KfTondl,
the sultan's eldest son. But he Is $7, and
It Is highly probable that he Is childless.
'As a rule efforts are made to bring royal
children up simply and modestly and to
shield their nursery life from the public
gaxe, but It is Inevitable that a great many
details leak out.
One little prince who has been very much
before the public In his brief life of four
years Is Olaf, crown prince of Norway.
When he visited his grandfather In Eng
land a few months ago with his father and
monther he attracted almost as much no
tice as King Haakon and Queen Maud.
He Is said to be a very self-willed young
gentleman,' with a large sized Idea of his
own and his parents' rights. The last story
told of him represents him ts stamping
his foot when a little playmato climbed
Into a big armchair in one of the prlvuto
falons In the palace at Chrlstlunla.
"Get out of there!" he ordered, "that is
my father's place,"
The little visitor looked scared and King
Appendicitis.
How to Avoid It an Escape a Hurgi.
Cal Operation, Told by One
Who Knows.
K Staple Method Thai Is Always Ellkactei.
It has only been a few years since It was
discovered that a surgical operation would
cure appendicitis; In fact,' It has been but
a short time since the disease was discov
ered and named.
Whenever there is an inflamed condition
of the apendix, caused by Impacted faeces
In the small cavity opening Into the In
testine, you then have appendicitis.
The older doctors used to call this lnflam
, matlon of the bowels, and Vers puzzled to
knew the cause.
Bven now, with all the knowledge we
have of thtdlsease, no medical man can tell
you why we should have an appendix, why
we find It, where It la, or what are Its'
functions, If It has any.
The Alsesse for which the operation la a
cure la usually caused by Indigestion, and
In many cases follows a larga and Indi
gestible meal.
Physicians have until recently recom
mended an operation, but now, as it is
known that It is caused by Indigestion, or
dyspepsia, a cure without an operation is
assured.
- Whsre the patient Is treated with Btuart's
Pyspepsla Tablets, the unhealthy conditions
prevailing rapidly disappear, the stomach
and intestines sre placed back In their nor
mal condition, every organ of the. body
operates as It should, and the Inflamma
tion is reduced and the operation la avoided.
t Conscientious physicians, who are look
ing after the beat Interests of their pa
tients, win always keep a supply of Stuart's
Iyspepsla Tablets handy In their oHlce.
where in esses of sudden attacks of Indi
gestion they can relieve the patient at
once.
There Is no record of a case of appendi
citis whee the stomach and bowels were
in a healthy condition and properly digested
the food from meal to meal.
No better advice can be given to any
one who has attacks of indigestion, or
who has been threaten with appendicitis,
than to tell him te go to the drug store,
pay W cents, and take home a paikage of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Whenever heartburn, gas In the stomach
or bowels, heart diseae or fermentation
are present, act at once. Take a dos of
the Tablets and get relief as soon as
possible.

Haakon hastened' to comfort him." The
king picked him up and set him on his
knee, but the young prince became even
more enraged. He stamped his foot again
as he fairly shouted:
"Get out of there; that is .my mother's
place!"
The latest arrivals In the rank of heirs
direct are the baby princes of Spain and
Germany, both born within a few months,
the one as crown prince, the other the
crown prince's son. Both ar still In their
cradles, so personal anecdotes are lacking,
but there are stories about the Spanish heir
all the same.
One tells of the appeal of a poor woman,
the widow of an officer who fell In Cuba,
(or an Increase of pension. She had re
peatedly made application through the or
dinary channels, but without rBnulUiThen
she hit on the device of addressings a me
morial to his royal highness, Alfonso, In
fante of Spain.
The letter was opened by the prince's
secretary he has a whole suite of officials
and oquerrles to re-enforce his buxomn
daluBlan nurse who of course referred the
memorial to the king. The king read It
and smiled. -
Holding It In his hand he made his way
througH the corridors of the Kscurlal, the
secretary and a few other attendants tag
ging on behind him. In the nursery they
found the queen and the baby prince sit
ting up In his crib,
- The king--explained the situation and
then with a formal bow returned the letter
to the secretary. . .
"But what shall I do with it, sire?" the
latter asked.
"Why give It to the prince, to whom It la
directed, of course."
The secretary with his best obeisance
laid It on the royal cradle. , The baby
grabbed at it and smiled.
"Well, what does the prince say to It?"
aked the king after a pause, turning to
the nurse.
"Really, your majesty, he appears to me
to say nothing," was the matter of fact
reply.
"All right, silence gives consent," said
the king. "Mr. Secretary, see that the lat
ter Is forwarded to the War department
with the proper Indorsement and write to
the woman that the prince grants her re
quest." The Russian lmpsrial children lead a
healthful outdoor life, for the most part
at Tsarskoe-Selo, always with a powerful
guard of soldiers and secret service agents
just beyond their range of vision. It Is a
wonder that, the poor little grand duke,
who la the heir to the dignity of czar, la not
already overwhelmed by. his title.
He is now just S years and S months old
and he is Hetman of all the Cossacks, Chief
of the Kegiment of the Ouard of Finland,
Colonel of the Fifty-first Regiment of In
fantry of Zltovek, of the Twelfth Regiment
of Infantry of Eastern Siberia, of the Corps
of Cadets of Tashkend, Captain of the
Fourth Battery of Horse Artillery of the
Guard, Commandant of the Military School
at Moscow, of the Forty-fourth Regiment
of Dragoons of Nijnl-Novgorod and of the
Forty-llfth Regiment of Dragoons of Sev
ersk. He Is also a. Chevalier of the Order
of St. Andrew.
Notwithstanding these dignities It Is said
that his greatest Joy In life la a red and blue
Punchinello and that he occasionally
scraps .with his younger sister, Princess
Anastasia, who is I years old, for posses
sion of It.
Sometimes odd things tiappen to royal
children. Not long ago, as the cable told
the readers of The Bee, the carriage In
which the youngest daughter of Kaiser
Wllhelm was driving with her governess
in the outskirts of Berlin ran over a little
boy.
The princess, who Is 15, jumped out and
ran. after the crowd tha( wss carrying the
little chap to a drug store near by. Then
a vigilant policeman who formed the Idea
that she was trying to escape dashed, after
her and caught her by the arm.
"You must come with me to the police
station." he growled. "And first of all,
what Is your name and who are your par
euta?" "My name Is Victoria Louisa," replied
the little girl, with a fine air of offended
dignity, "and my father Is the kaiser."
Then apologies flowed freely.

She can't box. . however, and they can
and they do. One day wnen they quar
reled and started to pummel each other
there waa a rush of governesses and

DEMOCRATS ARE LOOKING UP
South Dakota Minority, Partr Will
Ifave Many Candidates for
Place.
6IOUX FALLS, & D.. Deo. 7.-(8peclal.)
The democrats of South Dakota, who
have never bean able to do very , much tn
the way of capturing offices so far as state
positions are concerned, are beginning toTs
"sit up" and take notice) In view of the
faot that the insurgent or progressive and
stalwart republican factions of South
Dakota have grappled each other by the
throat, figuratively speaking, and will next
year fight the hottest battle In the history
of the state for control of state affairs.
With the object of outlining 'their eourse
during the political campaign of next year,
Harry Wentty, of Pukwana, "chairman of
the demooratlo state central committee,
has called a meeting of the state com
mittee, which will be held in Sioux Falls
on Decembsr 12.
Several candidates have thus far1 been
discussed. E. 8. Johnson, of Rapid City,
the South Dakota member of the demo
cratic national committee, la mentioned as
the democratic candidate for United States
enator. Andrew B. Lee, of Vermilion,
former democratic-populist governor of
South Dakota, and J, W. Stransky, of
Pukwana, the nominee of the party for
governor last year, are mentioned m con
nection with the office of governor In the
campaign of next year.
Robert E. Dowdell. state senator from
Sanborn county, has a large following
which favor his candfdaoy for one of the
members of congress from South Dakota.
His friends express the opinion that be
cause of his great personal popularity ho
would run far ahead of his ticket, witlj
a strong possibility of being elected If the
contest between the insurgent and stalwart
republicans should prove to be a close one
in the state at large.

CENTRAL CITY, Neb., Deo 7.-C8pe-clal.)
Tearfully beseeching the ofHoirs
"not to harm Charlsy." Fern Johnson re
fused to let any proceeding be taken
against her lover, ' who had abused her
confidence by borrowing her pony and
bringing it over to Central City and sell
ing It to a local liveryman.
The young man who used his lady love
so shamefully was Charley Johnson, a
young man who had been working over
In that neighborhood and had Incidentally
paid his attentions to the girl. Monday
he borrowed her pony en the plea ahat
he desired to ride over to Central City,
and straightway brought It over and sold
it to William Disney, proprietor of the
Gray Stone barn. He took the money and
at once got out of town.
AXter awhile the girl suspected that
all was not right and followed him. Hh
inquired at several places and Anally
found that the fellow had sold the pony
te Mr. Disney. She soon effected a set.
tlfcment with Mr. Disney, who had al
ready disposed of the animal, the lalUr
buying the horse again, this time from
Its rightful owner and securing a till
of sale. Mr. Disney and the local offl
cere were anxious to prosecute the fel
low, but the young woman Interposed a
strenuous remonstrance and so the matter
was dropped.

unequivocal statement of a director, will
be elected general manager of the Union

when the board of directors meet Monday.
J frames L. Paxton, superintendent, who
has been aotlng as general -manager since
the resignation some time ago of W. J. C.

nect Ion with the company. The position
of superintendent will be abolished. ' Every

Who was elected president upon the death
of William A. Paxton, wilt-not accept a
re-election. Lee Bpratlen, now a director,
may be -placed In that office. It Is under
stood It is his for the taking. . General
Manderson settles any doubt of his action
by this statement to The Bee:
'1 shall retire and would not accept a re
election. I have no Idea who will be
elected."
Mr. Buckingham Is well known In
Omaha, having for years been a member

private buslntss tn Omaha,'-' said. James
L. Paxton. "I find that these interests have
been' demanding more and more attention
I-do not know who will be chosen as pres
ident of the Union Stock Yards company,
nor who will be made general manager.
The affairs at present will demand, numer
ous change and perhaps the chief officials
all will be changed. I would not venture
a prediction. Many rumors have been
afloat, but it Is better not to say anything
at ail."
Commission men are keenly alive to the
Importance of having good material at the
head cf the Union Stock Yards company,
The death of Mr. Paxton and the subse
quent resignations have been sources of
regret among the members of the ex
change. That of W. 8cott King Is also In
cluded among ths number of. Important
resignations. The general meeting of. the
stockholders will have a big task on hand.

Pretty nearly all the corks used In France
a .d a very lari proportion of the entire
world's supply are made in Mesln, a vil
lage of t,700 Inhabitants In Oascony, It is
a picturesque, old fashioned place ap
proached by roads which lead between
hedgorowe. Its houses are all shiny white
and they cluster amid groups of plan trees.
There is a battlemented cathedral that
looks like a mediaeval fortress.
Only i a fsw mile away, at Nerao, Presi
dent Fallieres waa born. He still has hi
home there when he retires to private
life. He Is a large win grower and he
is greatly Interested in the cork cutters,
whose senator he was for years before
he became president. It used to be an
annual . custom for a delegation of the
young men and pretty girls of Mesln to
visit him for the purpose of Inviting him
to the cork cutters" fete, which Is always
held on August 14. He always went, and
he Is Immensely popular In Mesln.
Of the 2.700 Inhabitants of Mesln 1,600
men, women and children are engaged In
the corlc Industry. There ar thlrty-nv
oork factories In the village for all Its
sleepy, ancient appearance, and they not
only absorb more than half the local work
ing force but draw on all the other vlllagea
for miles around. Mealn and It environs

make of It. Ther la no more prosperous
section In Frano. j
Oascony haa the best soli in the world
for oork trees. All through th forest of
Oer and th Landers there are thousands
of tree of medium height with gnarled
boughs and their foliage concentrated In a
gray green ball. Th robust trunk Is cov
ered with a thick, rough brownish gray
bark, to which many lichens and mosses
cling. This 1 the. cork tree.
The attack on It is made In June of each
year. Then a regiment of countrymen
In the long linen blouses and bio caps
which are the costume of the country In
vade the woods, picking out the well
known tree to flay them. With a keen
knife a circle is drawn around the trunk
close to the ground and another high up,
Just where the brsnches begin, then a
long Incision Is made from one circle to
the other. The process of taking 6ff the
great sheet of bark thus outlined Is a
most delicate one. It la rough, hard brit
tle, this raw cork, but it must not be split
or even cracked.
When It Is removed the tree trunk looks
like the flayed carcass of an animal. The
wood ts ruddy and drops of reddish gum
exuding from It suggest drops of blood.
The tree Is not Injured, however. The bark
soon begins te grow sgaln, and by th
next year It Is resdy for anothrr strip
ping. Then the bark, rolled up In too pound
bundles. Is taken to Meiin. But there Is
not enough of It. Dark from Bpaln, Portu
gal, Corsica and Algiers also arrive there
to the extent of thousands of tons.
Every morning at dawn practically all
the population except the old woman and
the children, flock to the factories. Th
strong men have the Job preparing the
cork for th gutters. It bas to be con
verted from rough, friable tinder Into the
soft, elastic substsnce with which every
one ,1s familiar. First It Is steeped la a
warm bath of ' dilute nydrochlorto and

and while still wet It Is laid out on flat

When It drle out It la ready to be cut
Then come the shavers, who with light,
curved hatchet remove the rough surface
and finish It with rasps. After these the
slloers divide1 It up Into squares, accord
ing to the slse of the corks that are to be
biade from It. The final operation is per
formed by girls. Who feed to machines the
squares, .which come out perfectly shaped
oorks, round and polished, cylindrical or
bevelled, according as the machine ha,
been set. It take the girl a month to
learn how to run the machine.
Mesln turn out from 4.000,000 to (.000,000
cork a week. The annual output is tn the
neighborhood of 150,000,000 corks. They vary
enormously In price. A good champagne
cork is worth 4 cents (20 centimes) tn the
factory. . Small corks for vials made out
of waste to a large extent sometimes go
at several doten for a cent. The money
that la realized on Mesln's corks each year
Is estimated as not far from 1750,000.
