For those who have ugly views from
their back windows or corridors lead
ing to back stairs, etc. it Is quite a
serious matter as to how best to hide
them. Draperies are expensive when
the material is good, and inexpensive
material gets easily tossed. Bead
blinds, which may be made with very
little trouble at home, are clean and
tidy, besides being pretty, and have the
further advantage Of admitting the
light while preventing people from
looking into the room. Measure the
width Of the window OF doorway you
wish to hide and get a carpenter to
make a narrow lath to fit it, with small
grooves all the way along at equal dis

of large glass beads in pretty colors

The vicissitudes which Louis Ma
poleon experienced almost from the
cradle to the grave were probably al
but unexampled. He was a fugitive
before he could speak articulately. In
the interval between his goth and his
10th year he was a prisoner in Stras-
burg, Lorient, Ham and the Conoier-
gerie. He was IN outlaw for more than
half his life. There were incidents, at
Strasburg, and later at Boulogne
which brought upon him the mock and
jeer of Europe. He carried a baton as
a special constable in Park Lane on
Chartists' Day. Then, by a sudden
turn Of fortune, he became President
Of the French Republic. The Coup
d'Etat made him Emperor Of the
French; and thencefOrth for fifteen
years he was. perhaps, the most-con-
sidered man of Europe. It was said Of
him that on being asked whether he
should not find it difficult to rule the
French nation he replied, "Oh, no!
nothing is more easy. II leur faut une
guerre tous les quartre ans" (They
just need a wal every four years.) This
policy held good in a modified degree.
The Crimean war was for him a sue
cess, although not precisely a triumph;
the italian campaign. in spite Of its
h~ard-fought victories. ended abruptly
in approximation to a failure. The

Joliet Qn.) special Chicago Chron-

leased from prison this morning, has
had a unique experience. In 1891 Chas.
Neuman, living in the same building

with a bullet wound in his breast. The
Hartwigs were charged with the muir
der. At the trial the wife was re-

A bullet from a rife In the hands Of
a cool and determined woman has
sounded the FIRST note in what probably
will be the method adopted by the
Southern women for their own protec-
ition hereafter, and which has been in
dorsed by some Of the leading men Of
the South. The woman is Mrs. James
Wood, the wife Of a well-to-do planter
living in Esoms Hill district Of Georgia.
The other night her husband RAJ
called away from home on business.
He and his wife have kept informed on
the recent lynchings and crimes which
provoked them, and he, realizing her
helpleasness In his absence, bought a
Wlnchester rife and a revolver and in
structed her In their accurate use.
After her husbands departure Mrs.
Wood locked all the doors and win
dows and went to bed. She had been
asleep a short time when some slight
noise aroused her. Her first glance was
at a window, and dimly outlined in the
uncertain light she saw the stalwart
shoulders Of a man. A second move
ment on his part threw the light on his
face and showed that he was a negro.
Mrs. Wood quickly reached her rife.
which she keeps always at the head Of
her bed, and awaited developments.
The negro, after pausing to convince
himself that no one was stirring, at
tempted to raise the window sash.
Then Mrs. Wood brought the rifle to
her shoulder and, aiming carefully,
pulled the trigger. When the smoke
cleared away she saw nothing at the
window, but nevertheless prepared for
another shot, fearing that the negro
would force an entrance.
For fully an hour she remained in
suspense, and when her husband ar
rived she entirely collapsed. After he
had quieted her fears he investigated.
He found the bullet hole through the
window. and on the outside the stiff
ened body Of a negro, with a wound
squarely in the center Of the fore
head.
Hundreds Of persons viewed the
body, but no one identified it. The ne
groes believe that the man got his just
deserts. and the white people are max
ing a heroine Of Mrs. Wood, who is SO
u%nstrung that she may not recover.
