A Youth who Would Be Happy in Life

There is one young gentleman in Lon
don who is determined that marriage
shall not be failure with him at least.
He took the young lady he was engaged
to to the Lyric theater on Monday even
ing and installed her in a box. In the
next box was another young fellow,
handsome and dashing, with whom the
young lady established lively though
surreptitious Irritation. Young fellow
No. protested in vain, whereupon he
left the box, reappeared at that of the
masher and told him that the young
lady in the next box wished to make his
acquaintance.
Young fellow No. 2 was delighted, and
accompanied young fellow No. to the
presence of the tickle fair one, and young
fellow No. l introduced them, saying
quietly, "This gentleman will see you
home.' He then left the theater, and
the young lady has never seen or heard
of him since. All parties are well known
in good society, and consequently the
affair is much gossiped about.-London

Grain Blockade Continues.

REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, Dec. T.
Owing to the immense amount Of
wheat coming in the last ten days the
elevators are crowded with grain. Ele-
vator men are having great difficulty in
getting cars to ship the grain. -Four
large elevators are buying in the city
and two at North Redwood on the Min.
neapolis and st. Louis railroad. The
same difficulty is felt along the line and
some farmers have been compelled to
carry their grain long distance to find
an open market.

Was One of the Malta.

DENVER, Dec. 7-Wm G. Savers. a
French Creole, is in Jail here, and has
confessed to officers that he was one of
the Malta who asSassinated Chief of
Police Hennessey, Of New Orleans. He
was present in their quarters at meet
ings when plots for revenge were made
against the Chief of Police. Heard
their oaths and knew their secrets.
Went with them on the night of the
murder and says that he was with
them when, under cover, they fired the
fatal shots. He managed to escape.
but his comrades were captured and
put in Jail. Sauers did not tell the
names of the assassins of Chief Hen
nessey, saying he did not remember
them. His actions, however, as
well as his words would lead one to
believe that he was very closely con-
nected with the murder. When ask
ed IL a mistake was not made in
lynching the italian prisoners, he re-
replied that some of them were impli-
Gated in the assassination.

ACCORDING to the report of Pension

ACCORDING to the report of Pension
Commissioner Raum the number Of
pensioners now on the roll is 876,068,
net increase of 199,908. 1t is esti-
mated that by the time Grover Cleve-
land is inaugurated the roll will reach
a million. Fur the next fiscal year
the Commissioner asks an appropria-
tion of $165, 600, 900, and it is thought
the year following will take about
$3.50, 100000. The Minneapolis Times
thinks there is little doubt but that
the roll could be pared down to about
$50, 900, 900 or 100000, 900 without i'm
pairing the rights of single deserv-
lug veteran" But this is very doubt
full. There are no doubt thousands of
men on the list who are able to work,
in fact the greater share of them are
able to do more or less work, but they
are not able to secure sufficient re-
turns for their labor so as to live with
any degree of comfort. A grateful ma
tion does not begrudge them that pit
ance, which helps to make their last
days comfortable, and the spirit which
favors the extending aid to those who
riskedtteir lives that the nationmight
be preserved, will resent the, taking
away of that which will make their
declining years comfortable. There
are no doubt cases of fraud in the pen
sion department., and all honest citi-
zens will welcome the ferreting it out.
but to say that more than 100000, 900
of our pensions goes to frauds and
those that are undeserving, is to brand
our republic as nation of thieves.

Josaphine,s Old Home

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 it's site. The
old palace is in rather bad condition.
being destitute of furniture, tapestry
and proper characterization. The two
facades-one on the courtyard and the
other on the garden-are in 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 foun,
the council chamber shaped like
tary tent, the library, the salon OF e
Empress Josephine, with the bedroom at
tached, are in fair state of preserva-
ton. 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-
Der, 1898, by Josephine, for sc, 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 a few
days before his last exile.
Prince Eugene de Beauharnais looked
after the property during his lifetime,
but in 1926 his heirs sold it to Swedish
banker. In 1S41 Queen Maria Christina
of Spain bought it and sold it in 1861 for
e4,0 900 to the Emperor Napoleon Ill,
who made a present of it to the state.
Under the third republic Malmaison
has been neglected and allowed to lapse
into its present deplorable condition. 1t
was sold to private persons and now
awaits other owners.-London Tele-
