HAVE GOOD NEIGHBORS.

The fire which burned up the
barn on the McAleer farm near Mel
rose one night last week caused a
greater loss than was first sup
posed. All the contents were con.
sumed. Miss Sues driving horse,
Piper, was ruined and fine $500
span of mules were so badly burn
ed that they are blind and useless.
1t is thought the barn was set fire
by some tramp.
The popularity of the McAleer
family was proven by the neigh
bors assembling and putting up a
fine new barn for them. b. L. Nc
Aleer says the Odd Fellows and
Woodmen of Melrose turned out as
a body to make good their loss,
aided by the citizens generally, and
the family are grateful indeed for
the great kindness shown them.

KANSAS LIQUOR RULING.

Topeka, Dec. 1S.--Assistant Attor-
ney General Close has rendered an
opinion to the effect that where c.
o. d. liquor packages are not or
dered by the consignee, but are
turned over to him by an express
agent, the agent can be prosecuted
for violating the prohibitory law.
This ruling was made in response
to a query from E. d. Mikesell,
county attorney of Wilson county.
Judge Close holds that where per-
son orders liquor and il is shipped
c. o. d. the local express agent can
not be held, az the sale was made
by other parties. But where liquor
is shipped to a man who has not
ordered it, and the agent turns II
over to him and receives the money.
he can be held liable. The same
question has arisen at Colby, Kas..
and test case is likely to reach
the courts ina short time.

INDIANS KNOW A COWARD.
Red Skin Has a Way of Telling Whether 8 White Man YviII
 Fight or Not.

An Oklahoma man once told an Indianthata a desperate white man was after his scalp. He smiled and shook his head, relates the Kansas City Journal. few days later we were talking to the white man, when the Indian came up to join the group. He had spotted the stranger and knew him by sight. Without saying word to him he walked up within arms reach and struck the white man in tho face with rough, heavy glove. He paused for a few seconds and hit him again. ''Ughl" he ex- claimed as he wheeled around and walked away. The white man looked at the Indian in amazement, but made no show of resentment. Later in the day, when we asked the Indian why he didn't follow up the insult with blows, he told us the white man was coward. In explaining how he knew it he said the mans jaw drop- ped" when he struck him in the face the second time with the glove, and that this, with the Indian, was an un- failing sign of ccwardice.

EUGENE ]
Hers Is One of the Saddest Cases
 of Modern History.
EStravagance Was One of the Causes of the Downfall of the French Dynasty - Her Present
 Life fin England.

One of the most pathetic figures of the davis ex-Empress Eugenie. Aqueen without a throne, the merest shadow of her former self, dwelling solely in the past, and regardless of what the future may bring forth, the widow of Napoleon III. makes her home at Farnborough, in Hamp- shire, England, save for few months in the winter, when she resides in, g. vile overlooking the sea at Cape Mar tin, near Monte Carlo, and in the midst of those over whom her husband ruled. No woman living has experienced such vicissitudes of fortune as Marie Eugenie de Guz1nan y de Porto-Carre- TO, who on the 9th of May next will celebrate her seventy-seventh birth day. Born in Granada, her father was a Spaniard while her mother belonged to Scottish family. Her station in life was not particularly lofty one --her grandfather on her mothers side occupied the not very important post of British consul at Malaga-and neither her parents nor her young associates ever dreamed that she would ulti- mate1y become the consort of a mon- arch and write her name in indehble letters in history.
 But Eugenie's unmatched beauty and vivacity were such that wherever she went she was the center of attraction. Women eyed her with envy, men raved about her, her photograph was in every shop. She was at once the most fascinating and the most handsome woman of her time. A prominent writer likened her to snowflake on a July day; another-an American compared her with the fairy-like mist that hangs over Niagara. Certainlyno lady was ever the object of such full some adu1ation. When her beauty was at it's height she visited Paris, with the result that having the etltre to the court, she captivated the heart of Na~ poleon IT., emperor of the French.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-06-08

The emperor had contemplated a union with another lady, but upon the :, appearance, of the lovely Spaniard, the negotiations were broken off, and Eu- genie became theroyal idol.
 The wedding of Napoleon III. and his fancee took place at the cathedral of Notre Dame on the 29th of January, 1853, when the latter was in her twen- ty-seventh year. For close upon IT years the empress was the bright star in all France. Her court was magnificent; there was no thought of the morrow;. money flowed from the imperial coffers in neveF-ceasing stream. The extravaganee was ap- palling. The empress was the best dressed woman, not only in France, but in the world. No one had the slight est chance of competing with her. Her taste was exquisite, her wardrobe was estimated to have cost $1,000, GOO, and the household expenses amounted dur ing one period to no less 8 sum than $10,0o0 day.
 It was this reckless expenditure that was one of the principal causes of the downfall Of the dynasty. The French began to tire of the state of affairs, their anger was arotsed5 then came the war with Germany, the revolution broke out, and the empress fate was sealed with that of her husband. In terror for her life she fled from Paris one September night after the revolu- tion, and making her way to the coast crossed to Ryde.
 Later on she was rejoined by the er1l- peror, and the dethroned pair settled down at Camden House, Chislehurst, where they lived as ordinary people, neither expecting homage nor receiy- ing it. The dazzling empress fell back into oblivion as quickly as she came out of it. Exiled from France, she was separated from her friends, and since the wreck of the empire she has never cared to make new ones.
 The ex-empress is still rich. When.she escaped from Paris she forfeited the and incomparable iewelry was sold and scattered, but there was a large fortune left, and E 5oo00 of it went to- wards the purchase of the mansion and grounds at Farnborough.
 The empress maintains no more style than is to be found in the aver age country house. Her staff of indoor servants number 12 only, and when she travels her methods are those of pri- vate lady. She no longer courts atten- tion. Neither in France nor in England are her features faSniliar to the public. All her glorious beauty has vanished, her face is wrinkled, the hair that was once golden is white. The wonderful | figure that was the talk of Paris has 1 been ransformed-the empress, in ! fine, is a different woman

BACHELOR TEA.

 bachelor man and a bachelor maid Sat sipping a cup of tea; Said the bachelor man: siEslizabeth, dear 1t certainly seems to me Ehat never cup of nectar rare Or wine from the vaults of kings was equal to this fairy cup you brew.

 So pray do not answer nay.'' Ehe bachelor maid, with sigh contents Stirred the nectar about in her cup, And thoughtfully paused to ponder a bit Before looking merrily up And saying: "Why. where will you go, my
 dear,
 For nice little haven of rest? Dor if we are married, don't you see You never can be my guest?" So these bachelors twain sat quietly down, And talked the matter O CT, While the kettle sang, and the fragrant
 herb
 It's part in the council bore. And the story ends, as stories should, In wedding bells and laughter: Df course they married-you knew they
 would
 And lived happy ever after. l-Mrs. E. M. Addison. in Good Housekeep- ing.

WELCOME RAINFALL,
Relief Comes at Last For the Drought
 Stricken Lands.

Stricken Lands.
 NEW YORK, June S.--As forerun- aler of the rainfall came the slight driz- Kle that settled over New York city yesterday morning, but the center of the trail of rain is in the direction of Syracuse and Rochester.
 There was a very heavy rainfall in Detroit. Nearly three inches of rain descended, and the downpour contin- ued late into the night
 Conditions are favorable for the first time in flfty-two days for relief from the drought that has proved so calami- tous for New York; eastern Pennsylva- mia, New Jersey and New England.
 The drought was broken at Hoosick Falls, N. Y, after lasting ffty-two days. Rain began to fall early yester- day afternoon, lasting long enough to give the farmers some relief and to en- courage those who are replanting and trusting to late crops. It has come too late to save the grass upon which farmers depend for pasturage, as that growth was burned up weeks ago. The rain has helped to extinguish the forest fires in this vicinity.
 Half an inch of rain fell in the Mo- hawk valley. None fell in the lower part of the Adirondacks where, the fires are raging.
 Tn many churches throughout Or ange and Sullivan counties special thanksgivings were offered for the rain which fell continuously. There is great rejoicing over the prospect of saving the crops.
 For the first time in several days the sun was not obscured at Saratoga, N. r., by smoke and ashes from the forest fires in the Adirondacks. A slight shower fell, and the indications point to more rain.
 The long drought in the Glens Falls (N. Y.) section was broken yesterday afternoon The smoke in the atmos- phere cleared away almost entirely, and for the first time in several days blue sky was seen. Telephone mes sages received here from North Creek and from Newcomb state that there was no change in the forest fire situa- ton. The wind was blowing and the fires spreading slowly, but the situa- ton is not considered serious.
 The long drought was partially re- lieved at Newport, R. l., by a rainfall lasting all day, being the first rain in several weeks. It will be of immense benefit to vegetation, which has every where suffered almost irreparable damage from the continued dry weath- CT.
 Rain fell plentffully nearly all day yesterday at Upper Montclatr, N. J. Gardeners and residents generally were rejoicing at the seeming end of the long drought.
 Considerable rain fell in the Adiron- Jacks yesterday forenoon and last night Preceding it the wind blew from the south for several hours, and, while it turned the flames in a new di- rection and away from valuable prop erty endangered here, the strength of it caused some alarm. As rain had not fallen in fifty days to any appre- ctable extent, when 1t did come there was tremendous rejoicing.
