During the summer of 1912, being in Nan
tes, took a boat up the beautiful Erds,
viewing ssme of the prettest scenery of the
Department of the Loire Infcrlcure, with q
touch, here and there, of scenes wild and
grand. A sail of three hours brought US in
view Of the ruins of an old castle, known as
the Chateau de la Verrier, to see which we
had pulled an extra five miles, for here were
crumblng walls of the grim old castle of
Blue Beard, celebrated in nursery tale and
fresidc legend five may believe the peas
ants of the ncighborhood-an they aro
unanimous in the as,ertion-thc dread Blue
Beard was not altogether creature of fancy,
and the stirring story Of Fatima and Sister
Anne had been told .ior years in the valley
Of the Erlrc before the record found mmor-
talty in the world of letters.
According to the tradition, the formidable
was the Baron Giles dc Laval Retz, born
about 1896, and executed in 1440. He dis
Gnguished himself in the service Of Charles
VII. against tho English, and fought under
the banner of the Maid of Orleans, and final
u obtained marshars baton. Serious IL
regulartie5 Of life at length led to his retire
ment to the castle on the banks of the Erdrc,
where he became Il terror to all honest peo-
pie in that section. AT length, the rumors
Of his wicked deeds becoming learlully nc
torious, the Bishop of Nantes summoned
him to he tried before commission Of tem
poral and spiritual judges organized for that
purpose L was proved that for period of
fourteen years he had practised most diabo-
ical deeds of magic, paying abiect homage to
the internal powers, and that during that
time he had enticed into his castle several
hundred children Of both sexes, and also
number of grown up maidens, many whom
had been sacrificed in his horrible rites. He
was handed over to the civil Authority, and
condemned to be burned at the stake. Out
of compassion for his. dignity as a martial of
France, however, the Duke Of Bretange cam-
ed him to be strangled before he was tied TO
the stake. A complete record of the mon-
ster's life and death is still preserved in the
archives Of Nantes.

GupSS I'm the Man.

The praiseworthy frankness and entire
absence OF scif-pride that characterizes the
'honest old farmer Of Maine, is illustrated
by another honest farmer Of the same State,
who desiring to purchase yoke of oxen,
and being informed that a certain wealthy
farmer in Cumberland county had superior
cattle for sale, went down thithcr to pur-
chase. Meeting a man driving an OK team
he inquired.-'Can you inform me where
Mr. West lives?'
There is Il number of Vests living around
here Which one do you wish to find p re-
turned the stranger, who was a stOut-built,
blue eyed man, habituated in home-spun,
but bearing in general appearance unmis-
taxable tokens of ease and comfort, so far as
finances were concerned.
4 don't know what his Christian name is
pursued our friend but he is the owner of
some very fine oxen
Well responded the stranger they all
own pretty fair oxen"
But the one wish to find has oxen for
sale
As for that sir, guess they'd any Of en-
sell il they could get their price
But exclaimed the Oxford county man,
the Mr.. West / wish to find is quite
wealthy.
Yes? Well, I reckon there amt any of
them very bad Off, replied the other, with Il
nod.
MY Mr.. West continued our friend
hesitating, has been represented to me as 4
very close listed man, and not scrupulousIy
honest in all his transactions.
With Il cursous twinkle Of the eye, and
gentle pat ON the paunch of his near OK, he
said-'To tell the truth, sir, | guess they arc
a close-fsted set all round, and never heard
that honesty run in the lamily.-Isn't there
something elseY
Yes replied the scarcher for oxen, des-
porately, they say he has been caught il
the act of robbing his own brothers chicken
coop
The stranger bowed and smiled.
4 guess Pm the man. Come with me ,anC
I'll show you as fine stock of cattle as yol
can find in the State; and, if you know wha
, oxen are, there is no danger of beins
cheated.

A MARVELLOUS TALE or THE MINNESOTA
CLIMATE
She came from Detroit, Michigan and her
great pride was in being an invalid. She
lost no opportunity in stating that she came
to Minnesota to recuperate. She did not
hesitate to enter into conversation with any
person she came in contact with, giving adj
vice, Chronological or physiological, to in-
valids, and seeking the same from those Of
robust constitution Her conversation was
away. proflced with the Introductory re-
mark 50 common to visitors, 'Did you come
here for your health ?" She thus addressed
a stawart, ruddy-yisaged young man at the
dinner table of the Metropolitan few days
since, and the following dialogue ensucd:
"Yes, madam, came here probably the
weakest person you ever saw. had no use
of my limbs; in fact my bones were but lit
tie tougher than cartileges. | had no intel
lgent control of single muscle, nor the use
of single faculty"
"Grcat heavens" exclaimed the astonsh-
ed auditor, "and you lived?'

sight, was absolutely y toothless, unable to ar
tculate single word, and dependent upon
others for every thing, being completely de-
privod Of all power to help myself | COM
menced to gain immediatly upon my arrival
and have scarcely experienced sick day
since, 50 | can conscientiously recommend
the climate"
"a wonderful cure, said the lady, "but
do you think your lungs were ahected?'
"They were probably sound, but possessed
of so little vitality that but for the most care
full nursing they must have ceased their
functions
81 hope you found kind friends, sirW
"Indecd did, madam; it is to them and
the pure air of Minnesota that owe my life.
My fathers family were with me, but unfor-
tunately my mother was prostrated by Sc
we're illness during the time of my greatest
prostration.'
GLOW sad, Pray, what was your diet and
trcatnent?'
My diet was the simplest possible, con-
ssting only of milk, that being the only food
my system would bear. As for treatment, |
depended entirely upon the life-giving prop
critics of Minnesota air, and took no medicine
except an occasional narcotic when very
restless. My Improvement dated from my
arrival. Ny limbs soon became strong, my
sight and voice came to me slowly, and "a
full set of teeth, regular and firm, appeared.
"Remarkable, miraculousl Surely, sir,
you must have been greatly reduced in
hesh?"

American Young Men


American history presents many remarka-
bic instances Of young men taking prominent
and commanding stations at an age which
would be thought very young in other
countries. We suboin few striking ex-
amples front list Of those who have passed
off the stage Of human action:

he was one of the ablest members of the
convention which framed the Constitution
Of the United States, at - he was Secretary
of the Treasury, and organized that branch
Of the Government upon so complete and
comprehensive u plan that no change has
since been made upon it.
John Jay, at the age Of %, was Il membe
of the Continental Congress, and wrote an
address to the people of Great Britain which

quent productions Of the times. At 80 he

The Grand Duke Alexis.

Lucy H. Hooper writes to the Philadel-
phia Ercaiag telegraph about Alexis as
follows:
And so the grand Duke Alexis, that hero
of travel, whose love match and persistent
constancy to his bride made such pretty
chapter to royal romance has actually con-
sented to undergo the prosaic iormalities of
divorce. hear that his young wife be-
longed to Il noble Hessian family and was
maid of honor to the present Empress,
whose especial pet and iayoritc she was.
She was not pretty, but was extremely grace
ful and winning inmanner,and she possessed
a very fine and stylish figure. One evening
the Czarina saw her maid of honor enter all
in tears, and throwing herself at the feet OF
! her imperial mistress she confessed that she
was betrothed to the Grand Duke Alexis, be
sought the consent Of the Empress to then
marriage. That very night the too-fascinat'
ing demoscle was hurried of under police
escort towards the frontier and the Crane
Du ke received orders to join his regimen
without delay But the lover escaped and
fled to Germany, where he soon rcjoined hi
lady-loye, and they were married according
to all the rites of the Church. But tw'
years of matrimony and of the patemal dis
pleasure seems to have worn out the Prince
constancy, for Lie has consented to the di
yorce, is to be received into favor again q
the imperial court, and is shortly to join hi
regiment at Eheatherinenbourg, which
life pension is to be settled ON this discarde
= wife As the Grand Duke has succeeded
his grandiather's reputation of being Il
handsomest man i'm Europe he will doub
less soon find another, aud this time roy
bride. But what is to become OF the POT
deserted lady, who was undoubtedly his la'
full wife? And what of their infant so
x now nearly year old? May it not be wit

The LIFE TO CONE,-What does man
take with him when from the extreme verge
of life he launches into what lies beyond?
1t looks as if he took nothing. BE it the end
or be it a new beginning, it seems fatal
breaking of from all that life hitherto con-
sisted in, This is what makes it terrible,
But five look at it truly, his past life is
just the one thing that man takes with him
when lie dies. lie takes himself And that
self is the product Of all his past experience
and actions, As an oak bears in itself the
result OF every shower that through long
years has freshened it, Of every gale that has
toughened it or stripped its boughs, of sum
shine that has fed it and the drouth that has
parched it, so Il man, when he stands at the
end Of life, is what he has been made by al
his joys, suflerings and actions That i,
what he tlkes into another world.
The life to come and the life that now i
are parts ofone another They are related
The strength we gain by our victories thi
year. aud the weakness into which we com
by defeat, will be part Of Us next year.
So, there is not an act, not word but cast
its influence forward into the to morrow thi
] lies beyond death.
