In Martinique the simple folks speak of

her fathers slaves 1.-THE pretty Creole, and
on her birthdays it is said that Nj. de la
Pagerie allowed each OF his negroes a day
Of rest, and provided an entertainment for
them while Fltine" distributed aims to
the sick and poor.
On going to make her first visit to France,
at the age Of IL, the beautiful eyes of Jose
phine were dimmed with tears as Trois

became the wife of NJ. de Beauharnais her
thoughts were ever turning back to her we'll
beloved home.
When troubles assailed her she sought
again her island home, bringing her little
daughter Hortense. While in Martinique
she resumed her Creole dress, and wien
brighter days arrived and she returned to
France the pleaSantest surprise she could
arrange for NJ. de Beauharnais was to pre-
sent to him the small Horlense clad in full
Martinique costume.
In alter years when, as wife of the great
Napoleon. she had riches and power at COM

Malmaison with choice exotics from her ma

And Tip Fairly Wiped Up the Ground

''The circus is subject to a system OF
blackmail, plumber and robbery en- route
that is unheaTd of in any other business"
said an Old-time circus man to a PittSburg
Dispatch reporter. 1T requires the most
diplomatic management, and, after all, the
company must submit to all sorts of extor-
tion TO escape attachments. These are
levied upon the ticket-wagon just before
the evening performance. or upon a
pole-wagon as the tents are being pulled
down. AS the delay of trial, or even a
hearing, would cost thousands Of dollars,
there Is no other way than to submit. This
sort Of robbery occurs In almOs every town
where circus goes. The company may
think it is getting off all right, wien sud-
denly some accident, some chance injury to
property, or something of that kind, affords
an excuse for a levy. When | was with

He finally approached Tip as the elephants

knew that the show would be detained and
probably miss the next date if we didn't get

wagon and bring him along with the show
We didn't know whether he was dead or
alive until our doctor declared it case of
drunk. But next morning, when the man
had sobered up, he had no more idea where
he was or how he came there than the man
in the moon. Forepaugh sent for him and
told him in his choice vocabulary of adiec-

There was big attendance at last nights
meeting of the Theosophical Society, and
the lecturer, DR.. Allen Griffiths, deeply in-

osophy TO comprehend his philosophic ut

mysterious manner.
He held that man is progressive being,
passing from universe TO universe, and ever
expanding his mental faculties. He is
travelling upward On a spiral line.
When the doctor had finished the question
was asked, . How long, does man continue
on this spiral line?" The reply was that he
is ultimately absorbed in the absolute.
This was satisfactory and inspired

could answer, but the Chairman intimated
that thorough students of theosophy could
