TREES rs MONUMENTS.

DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes recom-
mends the planting Of trees as mon
uments. "If it is something" he says,
ito make two blades of grass grow
where only one was growing, it is much
more to have been the occasion of the
planting of an oak which shall defy
twenty scores of winters, or of an elm
which shall canopy with its green cloud
of foliage half as many generations of
mortal immortalities.

The unluckiest man in Georgia lives
in White county. In attempting to
cross the river in a bateau il capsized
and threw him into the water. Try
ing to reach the boat again, his foot
caught in snsg and wrenched il, los.
ing at the same time a 500 watch, his
hat, a shoe, and the boat. He finally
reached the shore, and was hobbling
across a field when large ferocious
bull started for him. Reaching a
tree, he climbed II lively enough TO
escape the bull, but also lively enough
to get into hornets nest. The bor.
nets objected, and he sprang to anoth.
er limb, which broke, letting him fall
to the ground, frscturing his wrist.
With the broken branch he kept the
bull at bay and managed to escape.
All this happened on a Friday.

The mysterious murder Of Rose
Amber at Sratford, Conn.,, bids fail
10 become as noted a case as that o.
Jennie Cramer, in the same State,
which created 30 much excitement last
year. The circumstances of the two
differ in that Miss Cramer was q
young and inexperienced girl, dishon
ored and murdered by the man who
took her from her happy home. The
woman Amber, infatuated with hel
love for one William Lewis, had de
serted her husband and was accustom-
ed to make visits to his house at night.
On the one she met her death she was
returning at late hour from one OF
those visits and it is supposed that the
man Lewis, tiring of her attentions,
did the deed himself. At any rate,
the coroner's jury, after several weeks
ofinvestigation, have so declared and
Lewis will be tried for the offense.
The dishonoring and numbering of wo-
men seems to be pastime peculiarly
attractive to the average Yankee lib
ertine.

RALPH SHELDON, ex Land Register
Of Kentucky, whose term Of Office ex-
pired three weeks ago, has finally de-
livered up the keys to the Register
elect, Cecil. What induced him to do

Covington Commonwealth: "If Shell
don, the usurper. is physically the big
ger man, let Cecil arm himself and
drive Sheldon from the Office as a man
would drive u burglar from his home.
But Sheldon alleges that in the suit
that Norvel has brought against Ceci
he will be able TO prove all that ht
claims as to the bargain between him
and Cecil. Mr.. Sheldon can now &c
into his hole and draw it in after him,
with the satisfaction of knowing that
he has made a pretty good sized ass Of

haste TO take our advice to 90 10 the
Great Southern Exposition. Nearly
all the citizens in this section are there,
have been there or are contemplating
a trip. The fact is, no one can afford
10 miss the rare opportunity ot seeing
90 vast display Of the inventions,
products and mineral resources of the
country as the Exposition affords for
90 small an outlay Of money required
TO take them in. The distance from
here to Louisville is 1O4 miles and yet
the l.. q N. sells round-trip tickets.
ircuiing one admission 10 the Exposi
ton for the small sum Of 1920. So
for a $40 bill you can go down, stay
two days at the best hotel and still
have a balance left for "extras."
Farmers especially would benefited
by attending. Every lab saving in
vention for their business is exhibited,
and they can see, examine and pur-
chase, if they like. those best suited to
their peculiar section or branch of ag.
riculture. There is in tact no class
that would not be instructed and in
terested and as we said before, no one
can afford TO stay away. Il will give
you broader views and teach you more
about the great resources of our com.
mon country than you may gain in a
life time otherwise.

Was She the Daughter OF NapoIeonI.


A few days ago the German newspapers of
Cologne spread the report that a daughter Of
Napoleon l had died there in tho most
wretched circumstances. The only fact act
ually known is that some days ago in Lienden-
thai, close by Cologne, an aged unmarried
woman died and was buried at the expense of
the parish. This woman, Falkenberg hy
name, during hor life betrayed an almost
childish veneraton for the great Corsican, and
her poor room was adorned with numerous
pictures of the Bonaparte family. When
disease seized her and she saw her
death at hand she bade the woman who
waited upon her unlock desk and take out
bundlc'o letters and burn them before her
eyes. At last, in the deirium of death, she
is said to have declared herself to be u daugh-
ter of Napoleon. This is at present all that
can be positively said of the mystery which
surrounded this person, although the Null
heime VOtksseitung claims to know from trust
worthy sources that Miss kalkenberg was the
very child that came into the world at the
archbishop's palace in Cologne in the year
1871 AS the daughter of q noble maiden who
had sustained intimate relations TO Napoleon
the child who at her baptism received the name
of Countess Won Falkenberg, and for whom
Frederick William | III was sponsor. That child
was brought up at Napoeon's expense ut
Mont joie and then sent to an Italian convent,
irOm uIIlNCu dt young woman
hood, she was released between the years 1880
and 1S40 The property inherited by the
young countess at this time was soon dissi-
pated, partly by luxury and partly by beneyo-
lence, and so it came about that she returned
in poverty to Cologne at the beginning of the
year 1850 in order, with the aid of prominent
citizens, to petition Napoleon III for a
further support. When every effort in that
direction had failed, she was compelled to
earn her living with her own hands, and
under the name of Falkenberg she led
the wretched life of seamstress until, last
week, death release her from it,. Such is tho
story of the Mulheimcr VOlkSseit,ng, which is
ready to vouch for its truth According to a
Cologne dispatch in tho Berlin Tdgebtatt, the
dead woman received to the end of her life u
monthly pension of thirty marks from an il,
lustrious family living on the Rhine, which
derived its origin under similar circumstances
that is to say, from an intimacy between
jerome Napoleon, king of Westphalia, and the
self same lady who at Cologne in the year 1911
brought the deceased Falkenberg into the
world.

Wrong, say you, to call thingsby their right

robbery and murder; you have allowed all
that is forbidden | therefore send you to the
lowest depths of hell, there to endure tho
worst torture that can be given, and hereby
appoint John Wilkes Booth TO sec it done. as
