Josephinc's Old Homs,

Further efforts are being made to pre-
serve historic Malmaison, once the resi-
dence of the Empress Josephine, from
falling into the hands of some Nine
teenth century vandal, who would prob
ably demolish it in order to raise "jerry
built" suburban villas on its site. The
old palace is in rather bad condition,
being destitute of furniture, tapestry
and proper ornamentation. The two
facades-one on the courtyard and the
other on the garden are in a tolerably
good condition, as well as the windows,
staircases and ceilings.
The rooms might easily be rearranged
in their old order and style. The vast
porch, the dining room, with its figures
Of nymphs, marble floor and fountain,
the council chamber shaped like mill
tary tent, the library, the salon of the
Empress Josephine, with the bedroom at
tached, are in fair state of preserva-
tion. Malmaison park has already been
cut up for building lots, and several
small houses with gardens now exist on
the property.
The place was purchased in Septem.
ber, 1893, by Josephine, for e6, ,4OO-paid
partly out of her marriage portion and
partly out of the military allowance OF
her husband, then General Bonaparte.
When First Consul Napoleon spent his
leisure hours at Malmaison, and in the
early days Of the First Empire, the place
was for Josephine what the Petit Train.
on was for Marie Antoinette-an agree
able change from palatial splendor. AT
ter the death of Josephine, in May, 1914
Malmaison had no occupants of note un
til Napoleon returned there for few
days before his last exile.
Prince Eugene de Beauharnais looked
after the property during his lifetime
but in 1925 his heirs sold it to Swedish
banker. In 1S41 Queen Maria Christine
of Spain bought it and sold it in 1851 fol

Country Lada

Boys who are fortunate enough to Be
born in the country have unmistakable ad.
vantages over city lads. The country ID
the place Of all others to be born In. The
associations of youth, Of home, Of school,
winter, and the farm work and play mixed
together In delightful tangle, are never
rooted out. but grow deeper into the char
acter and become dearer to the being while
life passes and the revolving years hold out,
1t is worth more than university edu-
cation to have been born and brought ur
on a farm, Of well to do parents. That
supplies what no learning from the books
ever can. That Is resource that stands
by. 1t is something to feed upon.
And IL the boy as a man engages in bust
ness or a profession, be has stock oi
health and a sound constitution to draw
upon that will be sure to carry him tri'
umphantly through when the city boys are
giving way all along the road. Morally
and physically he has by far the best of it

Cooking a steak-Broiled of Course.

Never wash steak If it can be avoided.
This advice does not meet with the appro-
baton of some cooks, but these neat bodies
are very careful if the meat is given a
drenching to wipe it perfectly dry before
cooking. Before you place your steak on
the broiler see that your fire is glowing
bed of Goals, and have close at hand butter,
salt, pepper and hot platter. Now place
the cut on the broiler and drop it upon the
Goals for two minutes, when it must be
turned. In this way you secure the juices,
and it is then ready to receive more
moderate treatment Watch it constantly,
and turn so dexterously that it will not
smoke or scorch.
Ten minutes is all that is needed for q
rare broil. Take keen blade and cut into
the thickest part. If the heart has lost its
purple tinge transfer at once to the dish.
Sprinkle literally with bits Of butter, salt
and pepper. Unless you have hot water
dish do not send the steak in to the table
until all the family are seated. Tough
steak may be made eatable by laying it on
board and making slight incisions in the
meat, when, if it is rubbed with the strained
juice of lemon and placed on Ice over
night, it will be ready for breakfast -

No party remains virtuous more than
twenty years. That also is in the nature
of things. Supremacy is demoralizing.
The Democrats now take the govern.
ment by order of the popular vote, and
they will keep it so long as they are true
to their trust-no longer. When they
become derelict some other party, nc
matter by what name it may be called
will issue an order of eviction. The
country is forever safe in the hands OF

longed period in the hands Of any party

They Ventilate Their Troubles in q
Masistrate,s ONCE.


Charles Gebhart was Yesterday week
arraigned before Squire Groves upon
the charge of disorderly conduct and
making threats of bodily harm toward
Charles Allcorn. The justice held Geb-
hart under II bond to keep the peace
and the latter retaliated by issuing a
warrant for Allcorn's arrest upon the
charge of trespass before Squire Mona
CHAN.
The whole affair arises from family
feud OF long duration existing between
the Gebharts and Allcoms residing in
Mill Creek hundred. Allcom last win
Ter caused the arrest Of Harlan Gebhsrt,
brother Of the defendant in this case,
upon the charge of trespass and ma.
licious mischief in shooting out the
panels of door in q tenement house
owned by Allcom. Tho case was heard
before Squire Frank Il. Smith, who inn
posed fine upon Gebhart. This settled
matters for time, but recently compli-
cations have arisen which threaten to
result more seriously, and even in
bioodshed, unless the belligerent neigh
bors bury the Ratchet and cease dis
turbing each other any longer. There
Is very little possibility of them doing
this, however, and the feeling between
them Is as bitter as ever
A few days ago Allcorn told Magis-
trato Groves that he had detected stray
rooster mingling among his fcathered
flock and that his neighbors had even
been guilty Of declaring that he actually
stole this particular fowl from another.
To vindicate his good name, Allcom
carried the rooster all the way to this
city and exhibited it at the municipal
court and at all the magistrates offices,
where he afterwards obtained satisfac.
ton in the shape of warrants for the
arrest Of the persons making the accusa-
tions.
