THE PROPS OF THE REPUBLIC.
1t is related that the great Ma
poleon, when in the plentitude
of his power once gave a party to
the magnates of his empire. The
grand and great and notorious Of
his continental empire, assem-,
bled at Versailles.
There were present the high
born ladies of continental Eu-
rope, descendants of the French
Kings for more than a thousand
years, and the wives of French
Marshals whose red sword drawn
by Plebians, had cut its way to
kingdoms, and had hewed for
heads many Ducal crowns. The
hour for the Banquet had arrived
and the doors had been opened
for the company. A confusion
occurred The descendants of
Clovies and of Charles Martel,
and. !Charlemagne contended
with the princesses of the house
of Bourbon and Orleans as to the
right of precedence-with the
wives of the Kings and Marshals
whose Importance grew from a
Revolution, where bloody swords,
not blue blood, gave Importance
to the representatives of families
in that magnificent assembly.
Many claimed the right of su-
periority to be the first to enter
the Banquet Hall.
The matter was left to Napo-
leon to decide.
He said: "She is the first wo-
man of the Empire who is the
mother of NEST children"
That imperial decree, holds
good in France, is recognized in
every christian country, and is
exemplified in Logan.
On last Tuesday Mrs. Joe. Kin
Ia, molher of twelve children, and
a pair of twins, gave a birthday
party to twin babies, the occa-
sion being the 9Th anniversary of
her twin boys. Leo and Lewis
Logan is noted as a Queen City
among all her sisters, and the
crown jewels in her coronet are
her babies, especially her twins.
Mrs. Kinla appreciating the
proper idea of our claims to at
tention and attraction, gave a
birthday party to which the twin
babies of an age about with her
own were invited.
The occasion was a notable
event in the family circles of Lo-
gan. There were present.

In addition to the twins their
cousins" to the number of al
most half a hundred were at the
party and seemed to enjoy the
occasion as happily as the elect.
Masters Leo and Lewis did the
honors of the occasion in real
gentlemanly style. They were
polite and attentive to the com
pany, and especially gallant to
the little ladies and by their hos
pitable attention won the ap-
plause of all, and the loving re-
CARDS of the girls especially.

play, and a happier crowd of lit
