to Sicily and deposited in the Abbey
church of Monte-Real. The bones and
the heart were carried to France and
deposited in the Church OF st. Denis.
In 1897 he was canonized by Pope
Boniface VIII. Philip the Fair, the
grandson of the saint, was then reign
ing in France, and as many churches
made application for a relic of the
sanity king, Philip authorized a par
tial dispersion of the bones of Louis.
A rib was given to Notre Dame, the
skull was placed in the Holy Chapel at
Paris and other bones were depos-
tied elsewhere.
His military career was a failure.
Every important operation he under
took proved unsuccessful from an ap-
parent Inability to appreciate the value
of time as factor in war. He wasted
year at Cyprus, half that time at
Damietta and another half-year at Tu-
mis-, the delay in each case being re-
sponsible for the disorganization and
ruin of his army and the failure that
ensued. In those days the reputation
of king depended almost entirely on
his success as a soldier, and no more
striking evidence can be found of the
sturdiness of character possessed by
Louis than the fact that he retained
his hold upon the affections of his peo-
pie and his influence in affairs of state
after so terrible a failure as that of
his first crusade. An explanation may
possibly be found in the many laws he
caused to be enacted for the improve
ment of the condition of the masses.
The common people of France pros
pered during the reign of this good
king as never before; France had
peace while the rest of Europe was
rent with civil strife.

London's Postomce Telephone System
Ready for Operation.
The advantages of a telephone sys-
tenn which is run by the government
will be we'll illustrated in the tele-
phone service which the English post
office will operate in London begin
ming in August. 1t will cover a terri
tory of about GAO square miles, which
is about the size of a field % miles
square. To Americans, perhaps, the
greatest interest in this government
telephone is in the rates. For $3.50
a year any one can have a telephone
installed in his house. Then he will
have to pay a small fee for every mes
sage that he sends. To a man whose
use of the instrument is limited this
method, it is certain, will be
found to be of enormous adj
vantage In place of the three
pence, equivalent to six cents,
now charged to inconsistencies, for
every call of three minutes duration,
the charge in the new system viii be
only a penny message, and after
certain number of messages have been
sent the charge will be reduced to half
a penny each. On the other hand, a
subscriber may pay, as at present, a
certain lump sum a year, and have no
further charge. All the telephone
wires are laid under ground, and the
conduits are large enough to provide
for double the number of ducts that
will be required Immediately. Instead
of the expensive gutta percha insult
lation under ground, the dry core ca
BILE is used. Paper is wrapped around
the wires, and these are twisted in
pairs in cable formation and dried.
Then a leaden sheath is placed over
them, and they are ready to be laid IN
the pipes and ducts. These dry core
cables not only are cheaper than gutta
percha, but they are more effective.
Every district postoffice will be call

Louis, with 10000 men, was compelled
to surrender. He remained a prison
er more than a month was subjected
to gross indignities by his captors, was

More III Luck.
From Damietta he sailed to Acre
with less than 5000 men, the poor
remnant of the army he had taken
from France on this unfortunate ex-
petition. Nearly four years were
passed in fruitless negotiations and
almost hopeless waiting for the arrival
of reinforcements and treasure. The
former never came, an immense sum
of money sent to him was lost by the
Laundering of the ship. Queen Blanche
herself died in 1852. and over two
years later the king returned with two
or three ships and less than 500 men.
1T is a remarkable fact that. although
the government of France was with
out head from the death of the queen
mother until the kings return. a pe-
riod OF two and half years. there was
mo disorder, not even the most ambi-
tious noble attempting to take advan-
tage of the situation. From 1854 until
1870 the king devoted his time to the
improvement of his kingdom, and dur
ing this period more was done than
ever before to ameliorate the condition
of the French people. In 1868 he he
gan to prepare for second crusading
expedition, and in the summer Of 1870
he embarked, with an army about
equal in size to that which had per-
ished in Egypt, to undertake the CON
quest of Tunis. The army was land
ed at Carthage, formed a camp. ana
then again there came fatal delay
OF five months. Disease broke ont
among the troops, a pestilence similar
TO the plague appeared and the king
was one of the victims. He died An.

fought battle or even a slxirmisb

st. Louis Letter.l


When Pierre Laclede Lingheste es-
tablished on the banks of the Mlssls-
sippi river, in 1854, the trading post
which has since grown into the I'M
portant city of St. Louis he gave 1t
name which holds an honored place
in French history. Indeed, no mon
arch ever did more for his people tnan
Louis TX. did for France.
Born in 1915, he learned from MS
mother, Queen Blanche of CASTLE,
those qualities which made him what
he became. His father died when ne
was IL years old and during the ten
years that elapsed before he became
of age his mother reigned as regent
for him. Even when, at Fl, he as
sumed the reins of government, SO
great was his mothers influence over
him that she remained his chief coun-
selor. He laid wise plans for the in
ternal improvement of his dominions,
but these were interfered with by his
crusaders. In 1874, Jerusalem was
taken by
A Savage Asiatic Horde.
from western Turkey, the Christians
in the city and throughout Palestine
were massacred, and, as consequence,
the seventh crusade was proclaimed in
1245. Louis had already taken the cru
saders vow during an illness, and at
once prepared to lead a formidable
army against the Moslems. Over two
years were passed in preparations, and
in August, 124S, after having settled
the affairs of the kingdom and ap-
pointed his mother regent, he sailed
with a great feet, bearing an army
of nearly $4,000 men. The rendezvous
was Cyprus. Here Louis arrived in a
few weeks, and remained nearly a
year completing his preparations. In
June, 1249, he sailed from Cyprus to
invade Egypt, considering the Valley
of the Nile the key to the whole east
ern situation. Damietta was taken
without serious resistance, but instead
of advancing at once Louis waited for
five months, until reinforcements
should arrive. This delay, inexcusable
from military point of view, gave
the sultan of Egypt time to collect a
considerable army, and the inundation
Of the Nile came on, still further de-
laying and hampering the French.
