In a majority of cases, however. he pays
no attention to this pocketbook and
goes into battle with his will still un-

let and begins to realize that his
chances of getting home are small, the
soldier begins to think more carefully
of the loved cnes left behind him and
of the provisions he has made for their
comfort. As a result many queer and
pathetic wills have been found upon
the bodies of dead soldiers. and in every
case the wishes of the testator have
been respected. During the Soudan

with the end of lead bullet on the in

and. if some of these old outlaws could

tale of daredevil deeds done amid
the desolate rocks in the days when
revenue officers were still unknown
and smuggling was still an easy and
profitable pursuit. There is indirect tes-
timony that many jovial banquet was
held here by reckless Italian Robin
Hoods, many from Corsica and Sardinia,
during that memorable epoch when
Lorenzo the Magnificent was playing
his superb role in the city of flowers.
and there is more than one legend
which tells how African bandits fre-
quently found the island sure place
of refuge. And yet all this time the
island was, strictly speaking, uninhab-
tied, being at the best merely tempo
rary place for those whose hands were
against every man as every mans hands
were against them.
Italy has owned this barren place
York Herald, and about 25 years ago
there was some talk of establishing
penal colony there. According to one
authority, considerable progress was
made in this direction. but it is evident
that the experiment, if tried at all, was
not success, as otherwise the island
would hardly have been sold to the
prince of Naples. There was certainly
grim irony in the thought of transform
ing into prison for criminals the very
place which for so long was haven of
refuge for criminals.
That the prince and princess of
Naples will heartily enjoy whatever
days they may spend on this rugged and
romantic spot is certain. Both of them
are fond of outdoor life, and there are
few better sportsmen than the prince
in Europe, and there are very few wom-
en- who are more skillful than the
princess with shotgun or rifle. She
frequently goes on shooting expedi-
ton, and rare, indeed, is the day on
which some trophies do not fall to her
gun.
If the prince and princess so desire
they can be as isolated on their island
| as they would be in the heart of Africa,
but with this difference, that within a
few hours after the whim seizes them
they can be transported from their
oasis to the heart of Italy.

This constitutional amendment was
made to prevent counties in the state

In order to get this island into such a
condition that the inhabitants can vote
it is necessary to have il annexed to
Clay county. 1t was hoped that this
election could have been held in No
vember with the judicial election, but
the secretary of state decided that it
would take general election, which
will not be held until the fall of 1900.
At that time the people all over the
county will vote on the question wheth-
er or not the island shall be annexed.
1t is, however, extremely doubtful if
such an election will ever carr
The people in the northern Ivtrt of
the county are for the most part farm
ers These farmers are most decidedly
against expansion in the southern part
of the domain. for the reason that it
would give the citizens of the little
town of Vermilion control of about %
votes, to have the island annexed.
The inhabitants of the island are the
"outlanders' of Clay county. They were
very graciously given the privilege of
paving taxes into the county treasury,
and they can also be brought before
the county court to have justice meted
out to them, but they cannot vote.
The wealthy farmers in the northern
part of the county will keep on rolling
up their wealth and any and every pet
scheme that they want to become law

of the island Notwithstanding.

but little good to rebel, for they are out

It is said by those who should know
that majority can never be secured
on the question of annexation, and it
is therefore highly probable that Clay

PRINCE OF NAPLES,
He Has Presented Monte Cristo Is
land to His Wife.
A Small Domain, but One That Has
Been Made Familiar to Every
Reader of Fiction by the
Elder Dumas.

The young prince of Naples has pur-
chased the island of Monte Cristo as
present for his charming wife, and has
erected there hunting lodge, which he
proposes to make his headquarters
whenever the fancy seizes him to flee
from the glare and hustle of court life
and to enjoy a few days hunting and
shooting in a place thatk knows not the
telegraph or the postman, and that, al
though part of Italy, is practically a
terra incognita, even to the Italians
themselves. The island which the
prince has bought is an insignificant
little strip of land, and yet there is
fascination about it which renders the
news of its purchase of extreme inter-
est to the thousands in all countries
who are familiar with the name of
Monte Cristo.
AS seen from the Mediterranean, the
island is conical neck of granite, five
miles in circumference and 1000 feet
high. In stormy weather the sea
dashes tiercely against it, and il is not
easy to make a landing. Neither does
it contain anything likely to attract
the ordinary tourist. The ground is
mainly covered with powders, and
there is not an acre of land which can
be cultivated. On the other hand, the
sportsman and tho nNuralist will find
many treasures amid this mass of rock.
Wild goats have long been suzerains of
the place. and partridges have long
made it their home. The chirping of
the grasshoppers is heard on all sides
and beetles luNuriate in the dense
shrub and grasses which are found here
and there. Myrtles and olive trees
spread in all directions. forming many
a labyrinth, and old linchen walls the
deformity' of many an uncouth rock.
There are few places in the world
where a treasure is more likely to have
been buried, and for the reason that in
