BIT OF FRENCH HISTORY.
An Empire Lost For Want OF the
Right Sort of Riding Habit.

An Empire Lost For Want OF the
Right Sort of Riding Habit.
An old legend which makes no pre-
tense TO truth tells how kingdom was
lost for want of a horseshoe nail. But
a volume of sober historical and bio
graphical purpose, written by Count
d. Herrison, makes it appear that the
Empress Eugene, after the battle Of
Sedan, lost the chance to preserve the
empire Of her husband by not possess
ing exactly the right sort of riding
habit. 1t was the evening of Sept. 8,
1870.
The news of the surrender of the
French army and of the Emperor Ma
poleon at Sedan had spread about Par
is. The city was excited, ana there
was talk of a revolution and the ban
ishment of the imperial family. At
this juneture Emile de Girardin, man
who was trusted by the empress and
who had had no little experience dur
ing the previous changes of govern
ment, arrived at the palace of the TUT
leries. IF your majesty were to appear
on horseback in the midst of the peo-
ple," GirarGin said, land announce the
abdication of the emperor in favor of
the prince imperial, your own assump-
ton of the title of empress regent and
the appointment of Theirs as prime
minister. the empire might be saved.
Something must be done to turn the
tide"
The empress accepted the advice. But
when this leader of the worlds fashion
sought for proper costume for her
performance 1t could not be found.
The only riding habit in the Tuileries
was a fantastic one of green, embroid-
cred with gold and silver, made for
festal hunting occasion, and the hat
was q not less fantastic three cornered
affair of the epoch of Louis Quinze.
The empress felt that 1t would not do
to appear in this garb on such an occa-
sion. Her appearance in it might have
the opposite effect upon the people
from that which she intended. The
plan had to be given up, the empress
and the prince imperial were banished
and the Napoleonic empire was at an
end

EDUCATIONAL.

struggling colleges in this country, and the Rev. Dr. Frank w. Gunsaulus, the Chicago preacher, later became interested in Wood and he was sent to Beloit Col lege, Wisconsin, to be educated.
 During his course there his dramatic and oratorical ability became so marked that he was chosen as the Wisconsin rep resentative in the interstate oratorical contest at Galesburg in 1895, winning second place. William J. Bryan, who was one of the judges, marked him 100 per cent.
 Eight years after he forsook his boot blacking outfit and newspapers for books he apeared as Oe dipus in Sophocles's tragedy when 1t was presented in Central Music Hall. Chicago. by the Greek de- pertinent of Beloit College.
 Wood was graduated from Beloit Col lege in 1895 and from the Chicago Theo- logical Seminary in 1898, and the same years was engaged by Booker T. Wash ington as head of the English department at Tuskegee. In 1901 Washington select ed him for the John Crosby Brown scholarship at Columbia, from which in- stitution he has just been graduated.
