A woman enjoys we'll cooked, we'll
served food, but her happiness does
not depend upon it so completely as
does mans Without regular, abun-
dant meals a man IS disturbed in
spirit and considers himself abused.
When a man loses his appetite it is
because of some physical ailment,
never a mental one. A great blow
may make the touching of food an
actual impossibility for his sister for
hours or even days; but, no matter if
the foundations OF the earth were
shaken, the ordinary man can eat. He
can eat at any time or all the time
I know a man who is ''living on the
street" during his wife's absence, and
he confesses to average five meals a
day.
Food so often is not more than raj
ment with girl. Investigate the light

parlors. or even Erst-c!ass rooms, and
consider the we'll gowned girl therein
and see if it is. I know a girl, and a
college girl, who existed on 81 cents

CANDY THE TEST.
The Trade Certain Barometer Of
Prosperity.

Milwaukee Sentinel.
The market ior candies is one OF
the best criterions OF business there
is" said C. J. Follrath, who repre-
sents one OF the large candy manutac-
turcrs of this city. "Whcn the coun-
try is prosperous the workingman
gives his boy nickel or dime or
quarter to buy candy, and the boy
not content with the cheaper
grades. When hard times come
around the father cannot spare more
than penny or two for frlvolilies, and
the boy begins to ask for the cheap
candies. OF which he can get good
supply for his small coin. + or the
past two years the demand has been
Tor the better grade and the market
has changed accordingly"
The talk about adulterated candies
is nonsense There is national or
ganization OF confectionery manu-
iacturers which makes business Of
investigating all reports OF poisoning
from eating candy, and has succeed
ed in exploding most Of such rumors.
When a child is hungry it will fill up
on almost anything it can get hold
on-green apples, for instance, or
even gravel or grass. 1t gets sick,
and the mother, knowing it had eaten
candy that day, spreads the report
that sweets were poisoned. The Or
ganization looks into every such case
it hears about and finds out the truth.
Competition is too strong for any

goods. The firms competitors would

But there are some laughable in

to regulate our business. In Mis-
souri, recently man wanted to pro-
hibit the use of glucose in making

Out at the general store at Esopus
the village wiseacres gather each
might to discuss the events of the day.
Every night, save Friday, by the light

talk something else, for Judge Parker
invariably is present.
To the simple minds of the village

O
MAXIMILIAN$ { ''' Or TRAGEDY 4as
BY HUBERT NATIONS

BY HUBERT M. SKINNER

UST forty years ago this month,
- there was notable scene in the
historic old City of Mexico. The town
was in it's gala dress to receive its new
emperor, the high-minded- and chival-
rous young Macmillan, and the beau
tiful and ambitious empress, Carlota.
1t was the beginning Of that mournful
tragedy which brought anxiety and
dread to SO many governments, and
cruel anguish to so many hearts;
which terminated three years later,
when the emperor was ignominiously
shot like a bandit, and his wife became
raving maniac.
In this tragedy seven nations were
concerned. All were suspicious and
restless. There were then no ocean
cables, and Mexico was as far from
US as from the nations of Europe. No
one knew just where to place the re-
sponsibility. A chaos of opinions ap-
peared in the books and newspapers Of
the different nations. The problem is
today unsolved. 1t is one of the puz-
zles of history. Yet it seems likely
that the verdict of posterity will be
composite one, differing from any sin
gle view thus far presented.
Austria furnished the emperor. Max
imilian was the brother of the Emperor
Francis Joseph; Belgium furnished the
empress, who is sister Of the present
king, Leopold. Great Britain, Spain
and France together began the inva-
sion of Mexico for the collection of
debts due to their subjects, though the
two former powers speedily withdrew,
and it was the French troops that over
threw the tottering government Dis
traeted Mexico furnished the scene.
And the United States, then in the
midst of a mighty war at home, fur
nished the Monroe doctrine, which
caused our demand for the recall of
the French troops, and secured this
when our own war was ended Prob
ably some future dramatist will make
the fall of Macmillan the climax Of a
great play.
If the play shall reflect the current
American opinion, Napoleon Ill will
be the villain of the plot Desiring
to secure the overthrow or permanent
division of the American republic, but
not daring to help the South directly,
he will conquer Mexico force an en-
peror upon it. secure Macmillan to
take the throne as his puppet. and

States into a grand empire, having its

troops, and Maximilian's fail will fol-
low at once. Going back now, Maxi
milan, the dupe, will be fired by the
ambition of founding a dynasty, and
will come to Mexico determined to act
as a conqueror and grind the people
as the Spanish viceroys did. Napoleon,
the villain, will leave his poor dupe to
perish, and the Monroe doctrine will be
vindicated. The villain and the dupe
Will point the moral of the drama.
But there are many facts which
throw different light upon the story
of Maximilian. The Mexican project
did not begin with Napoleon. For
some years he held back when other
powers proposed to use force in Mexico
to secure the collection of claims. He
went into the invasion very reluctantly.
But neither did any of the other pow
ers originate the idea of a second en-
plre in Mexico. Leading conservatives
OF the absurd republic had been openly
advocating it for a quarter of a cen
tury, as the only means Of suppressing
the anarchy which prevailed, and had
sought to interest European govern
ments in the plan.
Macmillan was invited to go to
Mexico as its emperor by a large and
apparently representative delegation,
every member Of which was a native
Mexican. He was offered the throne
by the voice of the Mexican national
assembly, which was called together
after the government was overthrown.
He was very reluctant to accept what
he deemed the proffer of a united ma
llon, and took months to consider it
before accepting the crown. MaXimil-
ian never dreamed of establishing a
dynasty of his own. He had no child,
and it was plain that he would never
nave one. He at once adopted as his
helr the infant grandson of the native
emperor of Mexico, who had liberated
the land from the Spanish rule, and
who had been overthrown by the
treachery of one OF the worst men in
history, Santa Ana
Maximilian had, in fact, no idea OF
spending his life in Mexico, but only
OF passing some years there, restoring
order, and educating the young Mexi-
can prince for the succession. He vol
unteered to leave whenever the Mexican
people, by their representatives should
express a desire for him to go. The
Monroe doctrine had been understood
to go no further than to forbid Euro
pean colonization in America 1t had
not been held to dictate the form of
government of any independent Amer
lean nation. We had always been
friendly to the empire of Brazil, in
America, and we had not been un-
friendly to the Mexican emperor, Au-
gustin Yturbide
Macmillan did not regard himself
as the creature of Napoleon. but rather
looked down upon him as a parvenu.
Macmillan was besought by Napoleon
TO abdlcate when the French troops
were withdrawn, but would not. He
was glad to see them go, for he de-
sired to be free from any foreign in
huenee or obligation. Macmillan did
