orable, man of brain and of heart,
Macmillan was fitted for better
things than would naturally befall
the tool of Louis Napoleon. Napoleon
said to Macmillan in Paris in 1868:
II have carved you an empire out of
block of silver" In 1866 Macmillan
said to Bazalne, commander in chief
of the French army in Mexico: "You
have placed me between dishonor and
death, and my choice is made.''
Carlotta's part in Maximilian's work
in Mexico was no small one. In 1859
Macmillan had married Carlotta,
daughter of Leopold l., king of Bel
GUM. Beautiful, good, talented,
trained in statecraft and in matters
of court etiquette, Carlotta was fit
ting mate for the archduke. In ambi-
ton, too, Carlotta equaled her hus-
band. and it is limited hers was the
deciding voice when the decision was
pending in regard to the Mexican em-
perorship. Mexico under Macmillan
and Carlotta underwent \ most bene-
fetal change. Their reign was marked
by much in the way of internal inn
provements, in the adornment of the
capital, progress in education and
many public benefactions. Carlotta
journeyed to disaffected districts anu
by her charm won them to friendli-
ness. Childless herself, she had
named as heir to the throne grand
son of the former Mexican emperor.
With courage and decision she helped
in the settlement of the dispute be-
tween church and state.
When the American enunciation of
the Monroe doctrine began to re-
sound in the ears of Napoleon, and
Maximilian's throne to totter, Carlot-
ia undertook her great mission; her
journey to Europe and the appeal to
Napoleon, to the Hapsburg house and
to the pope. Never again did Maxi
milan and Carlotta meet. Napoleon
gave her no hope, Austria had naught
to give her but GOODNESS, the pope
could give only priestly consolation.
Heartbroken, the empress went in
sane, hopelessly insane. She was
taken to Belgium, to the home of her
youth; and there she is confined to-
day, waiting and watching for the
coming of the emperor. But Maxi
milan lies motionless in the imperial
mausoleum. KATHERINE POPE.

fifty pounds.
He has already competed in eleven
races against spaniels, collies. New

has never been defeated.
Not only is Bruno fast and long dis
tance swimmer. says the Boston Globe,
but he enjoys jumping into the water
from places twenty-five or thirty feet
high.
A number of times each day he
leaves his owners house unattended
and goes to the West Boston bridge,
from where he jumps into the water.
After swimming around awhile he will
go to one of the boathouse floats, climb
out Of the water and return home.
