pondence of Theodore, Elk King Of
Corsica.
The IEx-K King was Westphalian ad-
venture named Theodore Neuhoff, born
in 1896. In 1880, after having been a
leader in their struggle for liberty against
the Genoese, the Corsicans, in their Gen
eral assembly, elected him King. 5s
For sometime he played at royalty,
but his growing unpopularlty compelled
him to fly. He became acquainted with
almost every debtors prison on the con-
tinent. So me Amsterdam Jew at last
brought him out of Jail in that city, and
in 1888 fitted out an expedition for him
to recover his dominions with. Tat at
tempt, and one in 1742, failed, and King
Theodore next turned up in England.
where, after a brief and successful social
career, the bailiffs once more laid hands
on Tim and introduced him to the hospi-
tality of the Kings bench prison.
Among the,friends he had made was
Horace Walpole. The statesman interest
ed himself for the Ex-King, and while
he was holding mimic court in the Jail,
raised $50 for him by public subscrip-
ton. Thanks to this, Theodore obtained
his liberty. He was ungrateful. however,
and his benefactor abandoned him. He
died in the shop of a poor tailor in Soho.
In spite Of his shameful treatment of him
Walpole retained sufficient forgiveness
Tor the wretched Ex-King to erect a
tombstone over his remains in st. Anne's
churchyard, Soho. w
Theodore had one child by Spanish
mistress. Colonel Frederick, as he was
called, was we'll known eccentric. Ev-
cry one in London knew him. He was an
intimate Of Count Poniatowski, afterward
King Of Poland After life of varying
distresses, ending in perjury Of the most
horrible sort, he borrowed pistol and
shot himself in the porch of Westminster
Abby. ..,. CO.,. s.: .~.... 4"
He left two daughters. One married a
man named Clarke, and left a daughter
who obtained some fame as miniature
painter in London. The other drifted
into France, and became the mistress Of
a wealthy trader at Marseilles. Her only
child was the murdered Madame Ben Dit
Miss Clarke, the miniature painter, was
run over by dray and killed in 1929.
Her aunt, Madame Benoit's mother, was
poisoned, after years Of an unhappy ziui-
son, by her lover, the Marseilles mer-
chant in fit Of jealousy. The murderer
died at the galleys. The last Of the i'll
fated family persisted as we already
know. a..-.r sl-O.% l@-.~ -s..-.>-. f.&eai
The irony of fate pursued them to the
grave. The snobs and tuft-hupters Of
Brest have collected a subscription and
erected monument over the grave Of
the distinguished woman who died
among them" (uide the circular), "only
uncovered because she was unknown"
So the Blind Beggar's mistress and VIC
tim, the$ last of the line of mendicant
Corsican Royalty, enjoys at last the salts
faction of having a slab to keep her
moldering bones down. ID. :. i
Her casket has been placed in the local

Some thought flies, day BY day,
" coming rest,
As birds that far away
Seek their true nest.
TITS but a feeling, yet
ItsOunds within,
That all sad hours will set
And Joy begin.
We know how much we feel
Wearied, yet sure
That all pain can reveal
Returns no more:
That, like journey done,
The tired feet
Shall, with the fading sun,
Find rest complete.
We toll on, day by day,
For others good,
TO find ourselves astray,
Misunderstood;
And still the thankless task
Goes on each hour,
And all that we can ask
Is grace and power.
Grace to contend with wrong,
And power to toll;
To lift, when worn song
Above the soil;

Whose faith and love could throw
Bread on the sea. .~.-..r-l

COMM uNIsm

The communistic idea of the state help
ing the laboring classes is a great error.
All such schemes tend in the most direct way
to the generalization of the laborer himself
relieving him of the necessity of laboring
and sacrificing, which in order of nature ali
must undergo as the condition of the re-
wards that attend on industry and economy.
If any class of individuals can obtain CAPT
tai by simply asking 70. it, it is idle to ex-
pect that they will exhibit the self denial
and forethought necessary to the accumula-
ton of capital. When all motives for prac-
ticing these virtues is removed is it reasona-
Die to suppose that a class naturally. impro.
vident will voluntarily attempt to improve
their condition? Capital can only be created
by labor and saving. Ifevery person in the
nation were to start off on the first day of
next month with an equal sum of money
those only who had thoroughly learned the
art of saving would retain and add to their
.pecuniarY wealth. Nothing can help a man
who is determined not to help himself.

against the republican convention of Dako.

Reports from the plague stricken cities
of the south indicate a condition of horror
and distress scarcely paralleled within the
recollection Of the present. The fever is
advancing with rapid strides and death and
desolation mark its pathway. Entire com.
munities are at its mercy, without power to
escape or to aid themselves. In. this emer.
gency the people Of the north have taken
upon themselves the duty of relieving, SO
far as is possible, the miseries ofthose upon
whom this dire afllction has come. Soci-
cites and individuals are moving in the hu.
manitarian work and it is through such
efforts that the horrors of the plague are to
be mitigated. A large proportion Of the
sufferers are Of the poorest class and have
not the means with which to supply them
selves with the necessaries upon which life
itself depends. AS we of Yankton are
blessed with abundance. we Owe it as a duty
to our suffering fellow creatures to make
a move In their behalf. 1t is the little that
goes from each city and village which con.
the aggregate of needed relief and
offerings should pass in With the

LIVER

This important organ weighs but about
three pounds, and all the blood in a living
person (about three gallons) passes through
it at least once every half hour, to have the
bile and other impurities strained or filtered
from il. Bile is the natural purgative of the
bowels, and if the Liver becomes torpid it is
not separated from the blood, but carried
through the veins to all parts Of the system,
and in trying to escape through the pores OF
the skim causes it to turn yellow or dirty
brown color. The stomach becomes diseased
and Dyspepsia Indigestion, Constipation,
Headache, Bilieusness, Jaundice, Chllls

RELL'S HEPATINE, the great vegetable
discovery for torpidty, causes the Liver to
throw off from one to two ounces Of bile each
time tho blood passes through it. IS long as
there is Al excess OF bile; and the effect of
even few doses upon yellow complexion
or brown, dirty locking skin, will aston
ish all who try it--they being the first symp.
