ELoPEMEnrs ARE RARE.
Parental Consent Always asar.rsd In

Elopements are OF very in
frequent occurrence in France.
fact that is due in large
measure to the popularity Of the
French law pertaining to marriages.
Not only must the contracting parties
up to any age-have the written
consent Of their parents. but also In
case of the death of their parents they
must obtain the consent of their
grandparents. Here is case instanc-
ed by a correspondent whose friend
Suzanne B. was engaged to Henri 8.
Both were orphans. yet 1t was several
months before the ceremony could be
performed because of the number OF
papers and certificates which were
necessary for the celebration OF their
nuptials. No less than fourteen GER
tifcates were absolutely indispensable,
and Suzanne. as well as her fiance, was
obliged to show default of their par
ents presence or written consent:
First, her fathers death certificate;
second, her mothers death certificate;
third. her fathers fathers death GER
tifcate; fourth, her fathers mothers
death certificate; fifth, her mothers
fathers death certificate; sixth. her
mothers mothers death certificate;
seventh. her own birth certificate. Sew
eral months elapsed before all these
papers could be got together. When at
last all was ready Suzanne b appear
ed at the marie and inquired when she
might be married. Have you the con-
sent of your conseil de familie" (fam-
lily council. which regulates the affairs
OF orphans and minors) was the ques-
ton. mo. my parents died intestate."
Then you can't be legally married"
But have no conseil de familie."
Well. then. get one as soon as pos
sible," was the reply. And poor Su-
zanne was forced to write to all of her
relatives in all corners of France
many Of whom. she had never even
seen-and ask them to come up to
Paris to form a conseil de familie.
After much expense. worry and trou-
BILE. not to speak of lawyers fees, ETC..
the various members of the conseil de
familie were at last collected together
to give their consent to the marriage

This unexpected elevation did not
make Dara conceited. He took no
more pride In his viceroy's seepter
than in his Shepherds crook which
he held In earlier days. Envy. how
ever. soon pursued Dara. and found
more listeners In towns and cities
than in hillside villages. II wanted
a chance to undo Dara's favor with
the king.
At stated times Persia's monarch
sent out demand for tax. or revenue.
to every province. This revenue was
with gold and gems. in which the
country was rich.
So greatly had Dara's province
grown in wealth and honor that imme-
diately upon receipt of the tax edict
the treasures were collected and sent
to the kings exchequer. The advance
and wealth of the province pleased
the king, but dispieased others. who
hated to see Dara SO successful. Soon
ita was whispered to the king that he
had been greatly deceived In believing
Dara to be honest. Enemies accused
the viceroy of keeping from the kings
tax some gems mors rare than all the
rest for his own private store.
For proof they stated that no matter

near. No one save Dara knew its con-
tents. At times the chest was carried

servation, he removed the precious
gems from their hiding place. Then
all the tent glowed and glistened with
1eweled light.
The king was vexed. With retinue
among which were Dara's accusers. he
Immediately set out for Dara's prov
ince to investigate.
The viceroy heard OF his monarch's
approach, and. as was fit, with stately
train met him at the city's gate. And
there In the midst Of the procession
was seen, as had been told, camel
circled round by archers.
The monarch was furious. To his
mind there was no doubt OF Dara's
guilt.
"open me now" he cried, lyon trea-
sure chest!" Twas done, and only a
worn shepherds vest was found there
In.
The defamers flushed and hung their
heads.

And "Oh, my lord, behold that was
worthy Of thy trust" he said. ITO

wisely bear. They often bend men
from the truth and make them stagger
from the path Of honesty. When pros

AS HE is ENTHRONED.

America is breathing 1t day after day
and the effect is being felt more and
more.
The people are becoming aroused,
and they are just as sure to overthrow
the tables OF the changers as
the sun Is to set. The capitalists own
a majority OF the press and pulpit OF
the country, but the people will no
longer consent to be led by false gods.
The man who continues to vote for
mortgages and bonds is voting for the
worst form of despotism. No matter
what you call 1t, no matter how much
you kiss the hand that smites, the man
who does not vote against and de-
nounce the monstrous crime, Is a trait
or to his country and his family.
We have been approaching nearer
and nearer the financial crisis, until at
present the crash seems Inevitable.
Abraham Lincoln, Palmer, Chase, JEFF
ferson, with others, have warned us out
Of the past. OF those who are warning
us in the present 1t is not necessary to
speak; they are many. The industrial
classes are awakening out of their
lethargy, and victory is as sure to
perch upon their banner as the sun Is
to continue in its course to the end of,
time, though 1t may be through
long and bloody strtIggle,-J, W, Kun

SLY REYNARD.
A Fox Trap which IL Tempting but II
Always Suspected.

Always Suspected.
One of the systems quite frequently
resorted to to trap q fox Is to place
large stone In the center of q pool OF
water, just out of reach of O fox, says
the Waterbury American. On this
stone Is placed bait, meat or anything
a fox likes, In the water near the
stone the steel-Jawed trap ia placed and
piece OF green moss four or Ave
inches square Is placed on the pan OF
the trap, The trap Is under water and
the green moss hides 1t. The fox
doesn't care to go into the water. He
comes along, smells the bait and be-
gins to trot around the pool of water.
The stone with the bait on It 10 lust
nicely out OF reach and he goes round
and round the pool, trying to reach the
bait on the stone. But he can't reach
It. II he Is very hungry or II he Is very
young by and by he will stop going
round and round and size up the patch
of innocent-looking green moss, easily
within reach Of his paw, which finally
proves too much, and he reaches one
paw over and puts 1t on the patch OF
moss and stretches his neck over to
the stone to grab the bait, The weight
which he bears on the trap springs 1t
and he Is fast by the front leg. Tho
trap Is not fastened, and the fox re-
treats, carrying the trap on his leg with
him. The pain soon tires him and he
lies down and sometimes when there is
loose chain attached to the trap tho
chain catches in the bushes or stumps
and the fox, realizing that he Is caught,
gives up and lies down and in time is,
of course, gathered in. Not all foxes,
however, are caught or deceived by the
green patch Of moss, for oftentlmes q
fox, in the winter, when the snow is
on the ground, will 90 round and round
the pool Of water until he has worn u
path around the pool, without once at
tempting to touch his foot on the moss.
Old dog foxes usually realize that the
bit Of moss Is a trouble-breeder and let
1t severely alone, although the bait
may be so tempting that they can't
tear themselves away from the scene.
Why they don't wade into the pool and
skip the moss is not known, but they
don't, Perhaps they suspect the clear
water mayalso prove a trouble-breeder.

MINERS AND MORPHINE.


custom Necessary, but Not Pleasant
TO Contemplate.
when | was in the northwest dur
Ing last October" said a gentleman
with some money invested In mines,
Il employed a prospector to go out into
to the mountains looking for proper
ties which had been recommended to
me. One day he was to have gone from
our camp over into a very rough and
rocky district, but when evening came
he reported that he hadn't made the
trip. Why not?' | inquired, Because

ishment, what has that got to do with
1t? You are not morphine fiend, are
you" Not as much OF a one as you,
are tenderfoot,' he laughed, and pro-
ceeded to inform me that every pros
pector who knew his business always
carried with him enough morphine to
kill man easily, and that he did so
in order to end himself quickly in case
of an accident which would disable him
far away from assistance. There were
many instances Of prospectors falling
over cliffs and cripplng themselves,
or breaking leg in hole among the
rocks, or rendering themselves helpless
in some other way, and death was sure
to follow by starvation or freezing or,
in some sections, by being devoured by
wolves or other wild animals, In or
der to prevent such horrible death
as any OF these the prospectors slmpli-
fed matters by always carrying a little
packet Of morphine, which not only
quieted the pain Of the hurt he had
sustained, but put him to sleep pleas
antly to wake no more on earth 1t

wicked, but I got over that feeling

Wage Slavery.

Recently the Verdict has been pry-
ing a bit into the subject Of wages paid
to labor. There are hundreds OF thou
sands Of workers in New York-and
for that matter their like exists in
every corner Of the land-whose aver.
age yearly income won't reach 5000.
On this they must support a family.
The World lately told at length OF a
woman and her child whose income
and the woman sewed night and day
was $1,20 week. Such condi-
tions are worse than slavery. They are
better than slavery for the employer,
for slave labor and slave ownership
would cost the employer more. And
for all that the administration choir
so constantly and with upturred
thankful eyes, chants of a persistent,
sweet prosperity. Labor conditions
grow worse and the poor go lean and
poorer.
