to my lira work. Tbrra waa a greet
dual lo at at that tluiouatuely, on
of tU bltrituMt war of modern timet,
Tba Ourmuni under Von Moltka wera
uiarcbliiK across tb Freucli border.
Landing at Cherbourg, I went dlrvvtly
to I'arla and, taking Ivttvra from tba
Atuvrlcan minister, avt out fur tba
front to get a gilmimu of war. Having
bevn ten year' too lata In my birth
to take part in our own great atruggla
In America, I waa vxtreuioly doalroua
to wltUMa a almllar contest between
tba Kreucb and tba Uermana.
I waa received kindly at tbo bead
quartern of Marabal MacMobou, but
there wera few great batllea, and tba
two natlona did not aeera dltpoaed to
DgUt oua for tba benefit of a young
American wbo bad coma acroaa an
ocean to aee "tbe fun." 80 after re
Diulnlug for a time wttb tbe French
t determined to Join tba Oermana. I
realUed tbat ittanlng from one army
to Ita opposing one during actual war
waa a aorloue lUHluea, but I bad

of war from friend wbo bad fought
In tbe American content tbat my
young blood waa tired to participate
In a almllitr ufTulr. Bo, aelectlng a point
between tbo lluea wbi-ro tlio French
bad no jUtKtii, I left thi'iu and, walk

I'ruitalun vedette.
Tula 'm rather a tnme adventure,
nml I won 011 the lookout fur some
thing more exciting. U'hotigb I waa
not uware of It, aotuvtblng mure excit

I preneuted my credential, wblcb

treated wltb the uttuont civility by tbe
olticera of bla muff. Indeed, 1 could uot
but contrast the atteutlou I rocelved
with that of tbe French officer, wbo
upon the atntement of the American
mluuitcr, vouching for uic, permitted
1110 to go pretty much where I pleaaed,
but paid little heed to me. The I'rus
atnna ahowcred me with attention,
but I waa not permtttej to go about at
all. Indeed, vxcuaea wera made to
keep me at heudijunrtera. .

Without walling for a reply ho con

A Crown of Love
By H. SANBORNE BROWN
Copyright, IMO, by Alerienn I'rwi
Association.
The reigning aoverelgn of Atruria,
I'rluce Carl, bad a son, Oluf. A neigh
boring prlnclpaiity-Euengen-bad lout
Ita ruler In tbe mala lino, none re
maining except tba Princess Clotbllde
aud ber younger suiter Minna. Clo
tbllde, wbo occupied tb throne, being
very feminine woman, wan averse
to tbe duties of aoverelguty. Hue
would have abdicated In favor of bur
sister, but Mluna bad no more desire
to rule than Cluthllde. Indeed, the
people of ICanengen were a turbulent
lot wbo required tbe strong baud of a
man to govern them and made no se
cret of tbelr couleiupt fur a sovereign
queen.
There waa every reason why Ibe two
contiguous prlurlpiilltlea should be
Jollied under one bead. Negotiation
to that effect were entered uiou be
tween I'rluce Carl on tbe one aide and
tbe nobles of Kssrngcu on the other,
it was proponed that 1'rlnce Oluf
should marry tbe Princess Clotbllde,
tbe two to be prince aud princess of
the united principalities. After many
demand and coiicphhIous a compart
waa made, and nothing remulned but
the consent of the two pnrtici niout
iKVtttlly couii-rued 1'rlnce Oluf und
Princes Clotbllde. I'rluce Oluf v billed
tbe princes, nud, as luck would Iihvi
It, she fell desperately In love will1
him.
One of tbe point clnlmid by the
princes' subjects was that she should
be Hovcrclgu equally with the prince,
ber husband, fur at the time ot the
nuptials i'rluce Carl was to abdicate
lu favor of his sou. There wan so
much feeling umoug the people of En
aengen tbat In order to astlxfy tbem
ouo of Clotbllde' mtulNters suggested
tbat she wear tbe Iron crown of tbe
sovereign on ber bead nt all public
function. Tbe crown being heavy, a
light one waa made, and the princess
wore It nearly all tbo while.
Great preparations were uindo for
tbo wedding, which was to take place
at tbe capital of Knengen, after with b
tho bridal couple were lo lake up their
residence in Atruria. Tbe princess was
so deeply lu luve wltb Oluf tbat she
desired bis presence most ot tbe time
In Bssengen. This was not pleaslug to
the Princess Minna, wbo had conceiv
ed a great dUIIke fur the prince. In
deed, she gave out to those about tier
tbat she would bo glad when tbe cou
ple were married, since then they
would remove to Atruria and she
would no louger be troubled wltb tho
presence ot a very disagreeable man.
Shortly before tbe nuptials were to
take place tbe Princess Clotbllde fell
111. There was 6t the time so much
feeling on the part of her people ns to
her united sovereignty with the prince.
who was to be ber husband, that, al
though she was an Invalid, ber minis
tors Insisted ou her still wearing the
Iron crown. On oue occasion wbcu she
bad left it off n cltlxen of luflueuee
who opposed tbo union of the princi
palities was admitted to see ber and as
soon aa he bad left tbo palace at
tempted to foment a revolution on tbe
ground that the princess bad left off
tbe crown.
Princes Clotbllde grew worse and
died, but a few day before the ap
pointed marriage. Prince Carl, bis son,
I'rluce Oluf; tbe Atrurlnns and many
Essengeus were bitterly disappointed
tbat tbe prospective union of the two
countries had thus fallen through.
Prlnco Oluf, however, who had taken
as much liking to Princess Minna as
sbe bad taken dlsllko to him Indeed,
It was said that bad sbe been sover
eign sbo would have been bis choice
proposed 'that all that had" been ar
ranged should be carried out, Minna to
become bis wife Instead of Clothtlde.
The proposition was ncceded to by
tbe union party of Essejigeu, but nil
expected tbat Mluna even for reasons
of state would uot marry a niuu she bo
cordially disliked. However, the coun
cil weut to her In a body, represented
to ber the Importance of tba union of
the two countries and proposed that
she become tbe wife of the roan who
was to have married her sister.
She flatly refused.
Then commeuced a struggle on tbe
part of" the unionists of Essengcn,
Prince Carl and especially Prince Oluf
to Induce her to change ber mind.
Prince Oluf. wbo had been In love
with her Instead of her sister from tho
start, was wild with disappointment.
Ho wooed ber with delicacy, but did
not succeed lu changing her antipathy
for him. But what he could not bring
about was In part effected by the prin
cess' ministers. Finally on tbelr rep
resentation that It was her duty to
sacrifice herself for her people's good
sbe consented to the marriage.
As soon as tbe fact was given out to
the people the prime minister advised
the princess to wear the Iron crown.
And now a strange thing happened.
Prince Oluf was advised that tbe prln
cess desired to Bee him. He entered
gloomy from tho fact of a dislike on
tbe part of the woman be loved tbnt
he bad not been able to conquer. What
was bis surprise when tbe princess put
ber arms lovingly around bis neck and
her bond dropped ou bis shoulder.
Sbe married uot only for reasons of
state, but for love. ... V
"lteeohtly experiments Jin, iriiris by
scientists nave established tbe fact
tHat. a metal circlet worn on tbe head
of a person suffering from hysteria if
afterward placed on tbo head of on'
other person will produce', the same
effect as In ibe first Instance..!
.May, we Infer that In this Instance It
produced tho same love?

well supplied, with little or no
change in price from the former
week. Good lambs brought $6. 00.
The tone of the market was
steady at the. lower level of
prices.
The hog"market on local ship

from Missouri river points. ;
Shippers will please take notice
