ment on the humanity of that era. The
poorer sort of people, however, crowded it as
full as IL could be packed, and as II stood the
test, the well To do were satisileds Mile.
Maillard was singer and dancer as well as
an actress, and even more noted for eccen-
tricity than for art. She usually rambled
about the city in mems clothing, and in one
instance fought a duel with and severely
wounded French officer who had insulted a
lady of her company When he lesrned that
his antagonist was woman he left the coun-
try and never returned.
The morgue and prisons of that day were
simply horrible The Chatelet consisting OF
three great towers and connecting rooms,
built in the Twelfth century, was the head
quarters of the police authorities, and under
it were dungeons into which prisoners were
lowered by ropes. In some the prisoner was
so chained that he could neither stand straight
nor lie down, and the water filtering through
from the Seine made quagmire for his feet
to rest in; yet IL is known that men grew ac-
customed To even that misery and lived some
time in it. And over the gateway 10 this
horrible place stood statue of the Virgin
holding her Son in cloak, while beneath her
feet were inscribed sentences inviting to
mercy and love. 1t almost makes one feel
sorry that the Jacobins did not kill several
more of the better classes while they were
in the killing business
The age Immediately preceding the revolu-
ton was rs ostentatiously religious as 1t was
cruel, as the pictures of the churches and
public ceremonies show; but we know that
among the wealthy and titled it was all osten-

Rousseau and Diderot were the basis of their
faith. Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson,
Thomas Paine and many other American Wis
itors bear witness TO the unbelief of the edu-
Gated. As soon as thisunbelief could filter down
to the lower classes the revolution was inevita

Nonsense RHYMES.

A man has lately died in England who has
done much to amuso children as well as
grown folk His name was Edward Lear.
He was, explains Golden Days, the origin
ator of Mother Goose'5 Melodies" and of
Nonsense Rhymes" Ho wrote Book of
Nonsense in which were such verses us these:
There was poor man who said How
Shall fee from this terrible cow
l will sit on q stilc,
And continue to smile,
Which may soften the heart of this COW"
There was an old fellow of Crewd,
Who lived upon sawdust as food.
It's cheap hy the ton,
And it nouriShcs one
And that's the chief virtue of food"
Edward Lear was an artist of repnte, n
well known author, and an intimate friend of
Tennyson, but he will be remembered for his
funny rhymes alone.

WOOD PEDDLER CHARCOAL PEDDLER.
It happens, fortunately enough, that two
skillful artists completed long series Of
pictures of Paris" just before the revolution
began. They show us the "newly arrived
pretty peasant girl debarking from boat
on the Seine, one of those which then f1oated
country produce to Paris-and all her expert
ences in the cruel, licentious city. On the
Seine at that time also ran immense packets,
carrying many hundred people, which were
thought quite speedy because they made the
trip of $50 miles in four days. Immense RATS
Of wood for fuel were fioated down the Seine
and moored at an upper wharf; there the
wood was sawed and split into little bits and
carried about the city by street vendors who
kept up strange musical cry of "O-o-o-h,
buy my billets!" A very entertaining work
was afterwards written on the Cries of
Paris" giving some account of their origin
and peculiar music; but the government now
forbids that sort of music and the street ven
ders for the most part sell their wares in
peace.

Plain History.

Swift's Specific is simple vegetable
compound, prepared from roots gathered
freshly from the forest, and contains moth
ing of the mineral kingdom, or any pois-
onous substance, or any article at all which
comes from the chemists laboratory.
The formula of the remedy was btained
from the Creek Indians in Middle Georgia
by reliable white men, who had witnessed
the wonderful cures made by that tribe of
Indians, of blood diseases. Mr.. Hugh l..
Dennsrd, of Houston county Ga, began
using Swift's Specific In 1929, and con-
tinued its use all of his life, and asserted
that he had never known ii TO tail to cure
any case of scroiula, blood faint, or contag-
ious blood poison. This testimony has
been corroborated every day for years The
present Company was formed in 1879, and
have since made known to the world the
virtues of Swift's Specific, and today 1t is
sold in every city, town and country store
all over America, Great Britain, and many
other portions of the world.

DEATH OF A WESTERN EDITOR.
Mai. John Newman Edwards and His
Eyeutful Career.

Mai. John Newman Edwards, the Mis-

was but IS years old, and yet he had had a
career more varied than many an aged hero
"a career more like one Of the knights OF
olden time than modern journalist He
had taken part in fifty battles and heavy
skirmishes, served through the war in
Shelby's noted cavalry and in the imperial
army in Mexico and after all that still did

nalism and died after all in middle life.
He was born Jan 4, 1911, in Warren county,
Va, his ancestors being among the early
settlers in that state. In boyhood he went to
Missouri, learned the printers trade and was
doing local editorial work when the war
broke out. Enlisting in the Confederate SER
vice he became a member of Shelby's brigade
of cavalry, and in the long and desperate
career OF that body he distinguished himself to
q degree rarely equaled. He was several times
promoted for gallantry; his consideration for
his men was that Of Bayard, and in the
darkest hour he was always able TO cheer and
reinvigorate his command. In Marmaduke's
raid ON Springfield he was badly wounded
and taken prisoner; when exchanged he re-

Another case that occurs to me is
that of the American Meat Company, an
organization of eastern capitalists who
propose to go into cattle breeding and
slaughtering on large scale, holding
aloof from all combines and competing
legitimately with all rivals. They Sc
cured large tracts of land IN the West,
feeding pens in Kansas and a big slaugh-

having cinch on the beef trade of sew

to push it through as rapidly as circum-
stances would admit Of His confidence
in the proposed extension was based upon
certain facts which came to his know
ledge while in Fort Worth last summer
As for the Arkansas Pass extension he
could say nothing certain as yet. His
company was satisfied that the building
of a road over the line to Llano would be
attended with heavy expense-more
probably than the company was willing
to incur. A cooperation with the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande Company from
Kerrville could be easily effected, and
this course, he thought, would be
adopted. We have only given brief

sufficient to show that there is great in
