Eugene has one odd expectation.
She is said to believe firmly that she
will live to be at least 100 years old.
II have nothing to live for" the sad
faced woman of "a says, "hence I know
I shall just keep on living"
And SO she will, probably, for she has
no illnesses as yet, is active and fond of
all outdoor exercises. Eugene has
been so much on the water that she has
acquired the sailors rudy color, and
much of her strength in old age is due
to her love for bracing sea air. People
who saw this lady in the days of her
prime will remember her strangely
bea utiful eyes, Eugene eyes" they
were called. An unusual type they
were, and are, the eyelids dropping so
low as to give an arched look to the
dark eyes, which are bright, almost
glowing still. Eugenie's eyes were al
ways her marked claim to great beau

lovely beyond words in every line Of
face and form.
Empress Eugene lived for many
years at Chislehurst, but she has re-
Gently m moved to Marlborough, farther

borough, not more pref ntious, how
ever, than the homes of many less his
toric personages. Three rooms in the
house are kept as shrines. Relics of the
first Napoleon fill the one; belongings
sacred to the memory of Eugenie's
husband are kept in another; the play

trappings of the horse from which he
fell to die, together with little childish
things of eternal importan to moth

apartments in the Marlborough home.
Eugene herself scarcely realizes that
her boy, had he lived, would be to-day
a man of As.
A life of contrasts, indeed, is that Of
Eugene, empress of the French. She
has seen all that is brilliant in the
court life of France and has known
what it means to be a childless widow.

frequently forgotten. The mother Of
the empress must herself have been
amazed al her daughters career. She,
the mother, was the child of an Irish
man who settled in Spain and dealt in
wine. A Spanish duke came along and
married Miss Maria Kirkpatrick, the
wine merchants daughter, and it was
the child of this marriage, the beauti-
full Eugene, who completely infatuat-

Art in Home Decoration.

Artistic decorators agree that the
purpose for which room is to be used
is large factor in deciding upon its
wall covering. Decidedly plain wall
coverings are more restful than fig
ured ones and therefore are more ap-
propriate for living or sitting rooms.
OF course self-toned stripes give the
effect of solid wall, so this does not ap-
ply to them. Again for variety and be-
cause the big-fowered papers are now
so attractive in design and coloring,
they may be used in a guest chamber
with good effect, but always with .
plain, pale-tinted ceiling.

CHICKEN POLICEMAN.
For a Time He Ruled the Roost with
y High Hand, But Finally Met
His Waterloo.

He was an orphan, or rather, he was
the only son of Plymouth Rock hen,
who was SO exasperated at her ill-luck
in Matching only one egg out of 10, that
she disowned her only chicken as soon
as he was out.
As none of the other hens would
adopt him, it was necessary to feed
him by hand.
Naturally, he soon grew very tame
and became a great pet-too much of
pet, in fact, for one day he actually
decided that he had quite as good q
right at the dinner table as the rest Of
the family.
Being particularly fond of mashed
potatoes, he would thereafter, if no
one was near, jump on the table and
help himself, and many dishful had
to lie thrown Il out because he had
peckedit.
A young niece in the family, who had
not the patience of the older mem
bers, made it her especial business to
throw the chicken out. But this did
not seem to hurt his feelings at all.
He would promptly walk in again with
out shade of malice in his expression.
While he never went with other
chickens, he objected seriously to their
quarrels, and if he found two hot
blooded youngsters engaged in duel,
he would run at full speed from any
distance and separate them, leaving

A Counts
Love

IT WAS Col. Gaylord who was in
i charge of the party of Americans
travelling abroad. There was his sis
ter, aged 80; his niece, young lady
of 10; q married sister-in-law and
himself. Miss Bessie, the niece, had
attracted considerable attention in
London, but it was while crossing the
channel on the way to Paris that
Count Du Bots saw and fell in love
with her. He saw, he loved and he
went to the colonel and said:
Monsieur, I come to you like an
honorable man. The young lady of
your party is an angel from Heaven.
I would make her the Countess Du
Bois."
That's kind of you.", replied the
colonel as he looked the man over,
''but isn't it rather sudden?"
"At one glance was in love. Pre-
sent me to her, monsieur, that I may
tell her of my feelings"
We've got the name of being
hustlers across the pond, but this
rather beats our time. think you'd
better wait Is or 20 minutes longer.
No use in jumping girl out Of her
shoes, you know"
"She must be mine, or it will be
death for mel" fervidly exclaimed
the count as he clasped his hands.
"As you say, however, it may be too
sudden. I will call at your hotel this
evening. You will then introduce me
to the tairest woman on EARTH"
"Dont call if you have any other
business on hand,' remarked the
colonel. who was not making his first
trip abroad.

Pipes ard ashes strewn about,
Dresser drawers all stand out.
Looks as If I'd had rout

Shoes beneath the music rack,
White piano keys turned black:
Wish my wife would hurry back.
Guess I'll write.

Me to end this hired girl life!

the hundred and one tricks that have
made them famous. Their muscles and

the accomplishment of the tricks an,

day throughout the winter season at
our quarters in Baraboo Wis. There
we have an immense elephant barn in

During these lessons Pearl Souders,

difficult feats. For ten minutes at a
time the elephants are made to sit
upright on tubs. This strengthens the
spine and the muscles of the elephant

and each elephant is forced to rear and
place his fore feet on the back of the
beast in front of him. The order to
march is given and around and around

elephants are able to do the trick with

Dinner was hardly over before the
count presented himself at the hotel.
The colonel had intended to pack him
of if he came, but he changed his

sister was full of romance, and when
told about the count had hoped to
