The society season of the New Year

Tallevrand,a ..PnII.n

Prince Taleyrand might well be styled
"the man with pull" says the
Chicago Times. While Napoleon was
in Spain Talleyrand, his principal minister
was plotting against him at home Inter
cepted letters revealed everything to the en-
peror. PaSquier, in his lately published
Memoirs describes the terrible scene at
the first meeting between Napoleon and his
scheming minister after the formers return
Before crowd Of ministers and generals
Napoleon burst out in this manner You are
a thief, coward, man
without honor; you do not be-
Geve in God; all your lifetime you have be-
trayed everybody; there is nothing sacred for
you: you would sell your father l have coy
cred you with wealth, and there is nothing
That you would not undertake against me
For ten months you have had the impu-
dence, because my affairs in Spain we're going
wrong, to say that you always blamed my
enterprises there, whereas you gave me the
first idea of II and persistently urged II. And
that man. that unfortunate (the Due En-
ghein), by whom was I advised OF the place
OF his residence? Who melted me to be Sc
we're with him? What are your projects?
What do you wanti What do you hope for?
Do you dare to say2 | ought to break you
like glass. l can do it, but l despise you
too much to take the trouble"
Talleyrand remained silent and impassive
and Napoleon retained him In his rank, titles
and oftices. What pull" he must have

Figs or Ounces ?

Chodja had to appear before the khadi on
some law business says London Good
Words. As II was the custom never to up
pear with empty hands before judge, the
chodta filled a basket with fine ounces from
his garden to take with him But his wife
interfered and advised him rather to carry
to the khadi some nice ripe figs, instead Of
the hard ounces.
Nastradin argued with his wife some time
about the matter but at last, as he could not
convince her that the ounces we're a more
"dignited' gift he emptied his basket and
redlled II with figs. He found the khadi in
an awful bad temper, and the luscious figs
were looked at with contempt go into q
corner" ordered the khadi, and stand still"
The chodja obeyed, and Immediately the
khadi began to pelt him with figs from the
basket AS the magistrate had a good aim
and the figs were ripe, the face of the poor
hodja was soon a sight for sore eyes
'1u cried Nastrsdin, 'now I see that It Is
verify good thing for man to listen, at
least once year, to the advice Of his wifel"
why so?" asked the khadt astonished
and he stopped pelting to hear the reply
why, if 1 had followed my own wisdom, you
would have killed me before this! The hard
ounces l wished to bring you would have
certainly broken my head; but thanks to my
good luck, listened at last to my stubborn
wifes seeming fOolishness and brought you
these ripe figs! Empty the basket as quick
as you please. Q just khadi The figs will

Going to Enioin Secretary Smith.

A man named Lincoln, an ex-deputy
commissioner of pensions at the national
capital, is going to get out an injunction
against Secretary Smith to prevent him
from suspending pension cases pending
an investigation of them, so the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Press
announces. Evidently Ex-Deputy Lincoln
wants TO become known to the Union
veterans, 1t may be that he is a pension
agent and the greater the notoriety he
gains the better it will be for his pocket.
1t is doubtful if he is moved to adopt the
course the Press says he is about to take
out of pure sympathy for the eX-soldiers
From his talk ex-Deputy Lincoln is
very much wrought up by the action of
Secretary Smith in trying to find out who
of the pensioners are drawing pensions
without warrant of law Ex-Deputy Lin
coin says that Secretary Smith is illegally
depriving pensioners of their money, and
that he will have him brought up before
the supreme court of the District of Co
lumbia and before committee of senators
to answer for his illegal acts.
Doubtless these dire threats cause Sec
rotary Hoke Smith to tremble in his low
quarter shoes. And when Secretary Smith
reads what the New York Press says of
his treatment of pensioners it may be that
he will feel like resiSning and getting
back to his law practice and paper in
Atlanta. The Press says Secretary Hoke
| Smith has repeatedly "arrogatcd to him
self the power to supersede an act of
congress. The secretary must think him
self a mighty big man to tackle the acts
| of congress in that fashion.
Perhaps the Press is out of temper and
is talking without knowing just what it
says. As a matter of fact, Secretary
| Smith is doing the country real service.
He isn't going TO take pensions away
from those who are lawfully entitled to
them. All he is doing is this: He is try
! ing to find out those who obtained pen
| sions by fraudulent means, and as he finds
them he stops their pensions There
ought to be no fault found with him for
/ doing that
Strange as it may seem, however, there
are republicans and republican papers
that insist that there shall be no investi-
! gation-that the fraudulent pensions shall
| be paid They don't know Secretary
Hoke Smith. He will go right along in
the path he has marked out, notwith-
standing their buster and their threats
of an Injunction and a senatorial investi-
! eating committee.
