EPIC OF PRINCELY MAGIC.
In a joyous mood the Stuttgart Volksstimme tells the diverting story of a fiddler prince, a phantom bullet, and a weird surgical operation, and with true Wurtemberg wickedness manages to cast scorn and contumely on its Bavarian neighbours: Heroic times inspire heroic deeds, as the following item of information will show. Prince Ludwig Ferdinand of the Royal House of Bavaria is a talented violinist, but as, of course, he cannot constantly find an opportunity for fiddling, he also performs other surgcial operations. Quite recently the Prince actually succeeded, so they say, in removing the body of a young Bavarian peasant a bullet that had lodged in it for 16 months. At Cologne and Metz all attempts made by the greatest surgical experts to remove the obstruction proved fruitless. It needed a Bavarian prince to perform so doughty a deed!"
