Mark Twain Out West,

William Z. Curtis IN the Chicago News
Another distinguished gentleman in
whose career the people of Keokuk
take good deal of interest is Samuel l..
Clemens, better known as Mark Twain,
who lived here as boy and here grew
up 10 be man. 1t was in this neigh
borhood, just across the Missouri line,
that the scenes of his stories of Tom
Sawyer and Huckle cherry Finn were
laid, and the people who lived there iu-
sist that many of the incidents In the
experience of the former were drawn
% years old Clemens and his brother
Orien had printing office here and did
iob-work, and | was shown an old di-
rectory of keokuk in which his name
appears as Samuel L. Clemens, anti
quarian; residence, Billings House. !"
The gentleman who showed it to me re-
marked the author claimed the profess
sion Of antiquarian because of his re-
searches among the ancient and veneer
able bugs of the hotel in which he
boarded. Mark Twdin's brother, the
same who was his partner in the print
ing business, resides here still, and is a
practicing lawyer. His mother lives
with him, and the author comes out
every yesr to make her a visit. She
prefers 10 remain here among old
friends than to 90 amid newsurroundings
with her son in the East, but he pro-
yides nicely for her, and she enjoys ex-
istence in a cottage on the bluff with a
grand view of the valley of the Missis-
sippi and the praIrIeS of Illinois.

A student went into the room of a
fellow senior at Colby University on
commencement day with his face awry.
He said he was breaking in a new pair
Of graduation shoes and they we're bis
terlng his tender feet. Cant you give
me some liniment, Jim ? I'm in tor
ture," he said Jim thought a minute
and then went to his dressing case.
Eyes, my brother" he said, 1--WE got
some of the best liniment ever put IN a
green bottle" The hniment was pro-
duced. The senior pulled his shoes off
and commenced bathing and rubbing.
Gradually the deep lines of pain on his
face gradually disappeared. He kept
on rubbing and soon his countenance
was overspread with beaming smile
A soft bit of cotton was saturated with
the remedial fluid and the shoes pulled
on. docs it feel any better ?" jim

Royai divorces of the Past.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

-, from lhe Pall Mail Gazette.
The case of the unfortunate Queen
Natalie does not stand alone in the his
DRY OF royal ladies. In our own cent
ury there have been three roval d.
vorces, but perhaps the lot of none of
them was so painful as that of the young
Queen of Seryia. The first sovereign
who was divorced from lis wife was
Napoleon |. He abandoned jose
phlne Beauharnais in order TO marry the
Archduchess Maria Louisa of Austria.
AS there was no real cause for the di-
vorce, II was put forward on behalf of
the Emperor that the marriage was eel
eorated by republican priest only,
and therefore 1t was not valid accord
ing to the laws OF the Church of Rome.
he excuse was very weak one, and
indeed, quite absurd as the Pope, at
the conclusion of the Concordat, had
gwen dlspensatlo a Tadice TO all mar
rlages celebrated since 1889; but the
Emperor's wish was at the time the su-
preme law for the episcopal consistory
in Paris, and the divorce was granted
on the payment of a certain fine "ac-
cordlng to the means" of the parties.
The most notorious royal divorce case
IN recent English history is of course,
that Of George ". of England, who
wanted to get rid Of his wife. the poor
Princess Caroline, from whom he had
hVed separated for many years A bill
was introduced into Parliament for the
purpose, and was strenuonsly opposed
on behalf of the Queen by Henry
Brougham, alterward Lord Brougham,
and Naux, lord chancellor of
Great Britain, and Thomas Denman,
afterwaTd Lord Denmap, lord chief
justice of England. What these two
counsel eaid against the King would
be enough TO get 80 counsel into prison
on the Continent or make Judges faint
The bill was allowed, by small major
lty, to be read a second time, but pub
TIC opinion was so much against it that
the government thought it better to
withdraw 1t alter the third reading. So
the Kings wish was not carried out, and
the whole scandal was in vain. The
poor Queen died few weeks after her
accession, but the King never married
again. Crown Prince William of Wur-
temburg, the father Of the present King
Charles of Wurtemburg, was compelled,
IN 1903, by Napoleon l., TO marry the
Princess Caroline Augusta OF Bavaria.
The marriage was celebrated on June
but the young couple separated tn
very same day and never again saw
each other. In 1914 they were di-
Vorced, and the Princess two years af-
terward married Francis l., Emperor
OF Austria, and i'll 1925 was crowned
Queen of Hungary.

The Population of Paris

The statistical bureau of the munich
pality of Paris has just issued the re-
turns as to the population of the city
and of the department of the Seine at
the end of 1885. These returns put the
total population of the department at
1851 ,0S9, of whom 2,344, 450 were resi-
dent in Paris itself. At the beginning
Of the century the total population of
the Seine was only 63l ,5S5, so that it is
now more that four times larger than it
then was, increasing to 100000 in 1910
and to 2, 100000 in 1876. 1t has. there

lions.

For fully three weeks the inside facts in
relation to a Texas fever scare in North
ern Laramie county have been in posses
sion of this paper. Public safety and the
best interests of the cattle industry de-
handed silence on the subject, and moth
ing was said in regard to the threatened
calamity. The course pursued was, as
results have demonstrated, a wise one.
The announcement at one time would
have created a panic and inflicted irrepar-
BILE damage.
Monday morning Veterinarian HoI-
combe left for the infected district and
after making a careful examination sent
the appended telegram to Governor Moon
light. The message was received yester-
day:
LUsK, Wyo., June 2o.-No deaths
have occurred since June 8. No cattle
are now in danger and there is no fever.
The infected districts were isolated
and the deaths among cattle from some
cause few. Full particulars will doubtless
be learned upon the return of the terri
torial veterinarian.
