Their faithful friends plot to get them restored to their former throne?. Swltaerland la uow the favor ite resort of dethroned and crownleaa monarchs. Many of them, unhappily for Swiss hotelkeepera, are fortuneless aa well. Kx-Kfng Constantino of Greece, known to hie foea aa "Tlno," haa not been paying his bills frith regularity of late. Since Kalaer WUhelm, his brother-in-law, hastened Into Holland, help from Germany falla to come. So hard up Is "Tlno" and his family, who live at the Hotel National, Lucerne, that he has had to borrow from former subjects, notably a courtier named Strelt and the once fire-eating Thesto ftlH. ? The weekly bill Is 2,400 francs ($480), a modest sum for even an ex sovereign, with a following of 00 peo ple, all told. But even ftils bill (the entire family and entourage are on regular board rates) is paid with great difficulty. Had to Cut Him Out. Then, "Tino" is no longer the little god of all those war profiteers who still flock to Switzerland from the ex central empires, j They are tired of J3lfi_ way Of. accepting sumptu ous banquets and then cutting his hosts and hostesses of yesterday when another dinner-giver had arrived, has finally bored them and Invitations are few and far, between. No longer do his German, Austrinn and Greek admirers give balls for bliu, where lights were turned out at two in the morning, though the party did not break up till several hours la ter.' The orgies of "red balls" and "pink balls" and even "black balls" | (so-called Just because the lights went out before the party broke up, and everybody wore black when the lights were on, and all the decorations were black) began to shock the dtecent health or pjeasure-seekers at Saint Moritz, Lugane and other resorts, so that the Swiss police had to intervene,,) and "Tino" was cut ofT from these lurid Joys for the sake of public de cency. To crown all, the exchange Is so bad f?r his dearest friends that they no longer have the money to spend on his amusement. And so he has to walk up and down the shores at Lu cerne on foot, for he has not even a motor nowadays. , " Kaiser's Sister Sees No One. The rest of the family pass their time as best they can. His grand daughters and nieces, for the lack of a carriage or a car, go about on bicy cles. People turn round to look at them, not because they are exiled princesses, but because they happen to be very pretty into the bargain, with fair hair and dazzling complex ions ; and beauty is not among the list of Swiss women's good qualities. "Tino's" wife, Soptlta, Kaiser VVil helm's sister, goes nowhere and sees nobody. She is clothed In melancholy silence and takes her place at the head of the family table in the public dining room of the hotel with an ex pression of settled melancholy. They simply can't afford to dine In their rooms, because it would cost abjeast 20 per cent more, and goodness only knows how long they will be able to pay the weekly bill as it now stands. "linos one extravagance nowadays consists of very strong cocktails. He quite recently asked Germany for a loan of 0,000,000 marks, but was curtly refijsed. ? Vrl nee Mick and Hla Monocle. Ills brother, Prince Nicholas, walks a good deal on the lake side, with a huge monocle In his right eye ? his one extravagance. The crown prince'? cousin, known as the duke of Sparta, nil a res these melancholy walks. Peine* Paul, his younger brother, kills time with a pretty little girl from Vienna; hut as his whole Income Is $200 n month he cannot paint Lucerne red, and Is content to listen to the public band, or to take coffee In a public gar den where popular prices prevail None of the family Is popular In the little city, however. The Swiss say they are rough and disagreeable. They certainly all look bored to death. Old King Ludwljj. The ex-king of Bavaria has taken a home In Switzerland, too? ?n old feudal manor, half convent, half fort ress ? at Zlzers, In the canton of Grl sons, not far from Chur. Ludwlg III, now seventy-four year? old, looks the saddest and most de pressed of all the dethroned royaltlej now on SwIm soil.

At Olarens, amid mountains, ll/ks the exiled Prince AVlndisscbgrtets, : who, gossip says, baa a. secret mlsdlon? that la, to prevent the union of Aus tria with Germany. Berchtold and Andrassy are in Zu rich. But the list of exiled monarchy ministers, field marshals and notabili ties of yesterday now eating pension food In hotels of various grades and killing time as beat tbey may on In comes which the average New York business man would pity Is too long to go over In full. They all have the ?ame characteristics. They are poor, shabby, look bored to death, older than their years, grouchy and dyspeptic. And they all keep as far away from one another aa they can. Some Swiss recently remarked that It would be enough punishment for Kaiser WUhelm {o bring him to Swlts* erland and make him live In Close touch with these fallen Idols and he toes. They would give him such a bad time of It, blaming him for their fallen state, that he would clamor to be tried for his sins by the enemies within a week of his arrlvnl among "friends and colleagues." RICH, BUT DOESN'T KNOW IT Sailor's > Farm- In Texas Turns Into Oil Lske While He's Qone. Eastland, Tex. ? Somewhere on the Seven Seas Ell Perkins is by all o<fyl8 the richest man in the United States naval service. Knowledge of his Jtilg fortune has not yet come to him. His father has been trying to locate him, but what warship he Is on has not been learned. When Perkins enlisted In the navy more than two years ago, he owned a farm of 80 acres north of here. The soil is poor and has an intrinsic agrl ' cliMural value of perhaps $400. When Perkins entered the navy he left the .farm In charge of his father, with full power to act li^all matters connected with It. With the first Indications of an oil boom the elder Perkins leased the 80 acres for 25 cents an acre, re taining for his son the usual one eighth royalty erf any oil that might be produced. When the field began to develop one half of the one-eighth royalty was sOTd for $40,000 cash, which sum was deposited in a local bank to the credit of young Perkins. Now the big thing hdfc happened. The Sinclair Gulf OH company, which has a lease on the 80 acres, has brought'In the largest well upon the tract that there Is to be found In any of the central west Tex as fields. It Is producing crude petrol eum at the rate of 10,000 barrels a day, each barrel valued at $2.25. The present Income of the young man Is about $1,500 a day, and with the bring ing In of other wells upon the. farm It may bo increased several times this sum. He could easily dispose of his royalty rights for $3,000,000. P* MRS. ROBERT ALLEN DYER 111 Mrs. Robert Alien Dyer III, formerly Miss Olga Parodl, daughter of Senor and Senora Horace P.
