REFUGE OF A KING.
Bordentown in Now Jer,ey Once Shell
tered Banished Monarch.

Material for a book like Alphonse
Daudet's Kings in Exile" one would
expect could hardly be collected c.
where than in Paris, where dethroned
royalty usually gathers. Yet the little
New Jersey village Bordentown, on the
Delaware, in the vicinity of Trenton,
was years ago the refuge of a banished
king. Napoleon l is reputed to have
said on certain occasion that if he
ever were forced to leave France he
would make his home in America,
somewhere between Philadelphia and
New York, where news from across
the sea would reach him quickest. At
ter the battle of Waterloo .apoleon
and his eldest brother, Joseph, the ex-
king Of Naples and Spain, had a meet
ing on the island Of AK, small
rocky dot in the bay of Biscay, north
of the Gironde river. They parteA,
never to meet again, and while Napo-
leon surrendered to the English, to
close his career at st. Helena, Joseph,
under the name of M. Bouchard,
boarded the brig Commerce for the
American shore. Three times the YES
sci was gearched by British naval Of
ficers, but she arrived. with IN. Bou-
chard" aboard, July 10, 1915, safely at
New York. The fugitive king travelled
for a while and finally he settled in
the vicinity of Trenton under the name
of a Count De Lervilliers. 1t was an
ideal. beautiful spot which Joseph Bon
aparte purchased near Bordentown.
The northern line of the estate is
| formed by a meandering creek and up
on a steep hill overlooking the Della
ware, known as Point Breeze, the ex-
| lied king built his magnificent home,
which soon became known to those
who passed up and down the river. The
rocky ground. cut up by numerous
ravines, was changed to an attractive
park: the ravines were bridged, pretty
little arbors and pavihons were built
and an extensive swamp was deepened
to a miniature lake. On one end of this
lake coy white villa was erected for
Charles Lucien Bonaparte, prince OF
Musignano and Canine, nephew OF
Joseph Bonaparte. who had married
the latter's daughter, zenaide. Village
gossip was very busy with the Count
De Lervilliers, whose identity with the
banished king of Naples and Spain die
not remain secret very long.

Frenchman lives in the town of North
Foster, in Rhode Island. and has lived
there for the last twelve years. When
he moved there the populace thought
that an orphan asylum was moving to
town, but they soon discovered that
Bresson's establishment was a much
more interesting institution. Bresson
comes of peasant stock from the north
Of France, and came to Canada wnen
a lad. His father married a second
wife in Canada. and gave Bresson
seventeen brothers and sisters. Levi
was the eldest of the family, and lived
at home until his 22d year. when he
married Connecticut girl, and came
to the United States to settle at her
home. Within year of his wedding
his wife bore him as fine triplets as
Connecticut ever saw, all three Of
whom are living today. Later two sets
of twins were presented to him, and
when she died fifteen children, all of
whom were living, was his boast. Two
years after her death he was married
second time. His eldest children.

were then all married. On his wedding

three. Then a child of his own came

Six single infants and three pairs OF
twins were born of his second wife.
| Strangely enough, all of the twins
died, but with the other six the num-
Der of his living children was more
than a score. Meantime others of his
first wife's offspring had married, and
his grandchildren were increasing

From the moment this skeleton
figure had taken his seat the 20 fakirs
who surrounded him in a semlcircle
began to sway their bodies back and
forth, singing meanwhile a loud,
monotonous chant in rhythm with
their movements. In a few minutes
the gesticulations of the fakirs in
creased almost TO frenzy; they tossed
their arms on high. bent their bodies
to earth, now forward, now backward,
now swung them around as IL thrown
by the hands of others.
Meantime their monotonous chant
rose into shrieks and yells so fright
full that the ears Of the listeners were
defeaned and their senses distract
ed by the clamor On every side of
the auditorium braziers of incense
were burning. Six fakirs swung pots
Of frankincense, filing the air with
intoxicating vapors. while six others
stood behind, beating metal drums or
clashing cymbals, which they tossed
on high with gestures of frantic ex-
urtation. For some time the bowls,
shrieks and distractlng actions of this
maniac crew produced no effect on the
immovable lama. He sat like one dead

stare into illimitable distance, without
needing the pandemonium that was
raging around him. Can he be really

STRANGE
ALI.

The search of a Milwaukee girl for
a long missing sister, through the New
York federal census department, has
developed a romance. Twenty-Five
years ago a poor German family liv-
ing in New York determined to try
their fortune in what to them was the
far west. They did not know just
where they would make their future
home and fortune. but it was to be
somewhere in the west. There were
five children, three daughters and two
sons. The oldest child was one of the
daughters and she refused to come
west with the family. She was IS
years old and did not want to leave the
city for the unknown wilds of a new
country. She said that she would stay
behind and make her way alone.
The goodbys were said, the mother
parted with her eldest child, and the
family left New York forever. That
parting twenty-five years ago was the
last time the mother ever saw her
daughter. When the family reached
Milwaukee they decided to stop. The
father obtained work and found a cot
tage for their home The mother
thought of her daughter left behind,
and wrote letters, but she had lost the
address and the letters always came
back. The daughter who stayed be-
hind did not know where her parents
