LUETGERT WEPT.
When He Took Leave of His Children
at the Adjournment of Court.

Chicago, Oct. 14.-Adolph L. Luetgert
shed tears yesterday afternoon when
at the adjournment of court he took
leave of his little son. Early in the
day Luetgert showed emotion and his
eyes yere moist at Attorney Phalen
pleaded with the jury to spare his eli
ents life. LUetgert is breaking. This
is the universal verdict of those who
have watched the man during the two
months of his trial. The strain upon
him is great and, at last his nervous
system is weakening. The giant sau-
sage maker does not sleep we'll at night
of late. The near approach of the date
upon which he will know his fate has
completely upset him. Attorneys for
the defense are inclined to sympathize
with Luetgert, and undertook today to
criticise Judge Tuthill for ordering the
two small sons of the latter from their
fathers side.
1T is an outrage said Judge Vim
cent. 1T was perfectly proper" said
Assistant States Attorney McEwen. No
one has been permitted to sit close to
the defendant except his counsel.

BON MARCHE 314-316 SEVENTH 6

sbrew d taetician, Won Moltke, advised the
German army not TO carry its liInburger
with it when the invasion OF France
began. he knew the prediction of the
Frencbmen for Roquefort, and by its smell
the Germans were able TO tell every move
ment which the enemy made.
The failure OF the RoGCefort industry is
due to the diving off Of the thyme in the
department of Aveyron. They have tried
feeding the sheep upon ordinary grass,
but the result is o cheese which merely
whispers where tie genuinearticles shrieked.
The only substitute for Roquefort is the
terrible gorgonzola, the fierce and Untamed
cheese of Italy, but 1t is doubtful If the
palate Of any other n a ton is strong enough
to stand this production. The gorgonzoIa
is usually Kept chained in the cellars of
Italian inns, ard its roar is so terrifying
that it is only served TO those who the
proprietor knows are aware Of its nature.

The fact that this cheese can be extin,

surprise TO many who considered it in
vincible, and the TACT that it's extinction
is only a matter of a short while will striko
terror to uyriads Of diners. To those who
do not know what this particular cheese is
like, t may be necessary to explain the
nature OF the beast. Ii is made from the
milk of certain breed of French sheep,
which feed upon the lyme found along
the banks of the Lot, Tarn and other
rivers of the department of Aveyron in
France. After being made in the way
usual for cheese, the Roquefort is put
away and left to It's own devices. When it
has become Cid enough to vote under the
suffrage laws of France it is placed in
gymnasium for tbeopurpose Of developing
its strength.
