THE NONPAREJL MAN

Memoirs OF M. de BIowltz, a Newspaper
Man Who Secured Several scoops"
that Were Heard Around the World
Some Very High Glass Newspaper Work
In Europe.
We have just been reading the memoirs
of M. de Blowitz, for many years the IA
nous correspondent of the London Times
at Paris. M. de BIowitz scored several
scoops that were heard around the
world and he is not at all shy about men
tioning them and telling what world beat
ers they We're generally conceded TO pc!
M. de Blowitz's beats were strictly high
class. For instance he got the first inter-
view with King Alfonso XII. when that
gentleman, by sudden uprising IN Spain,
became king. A whole lot of other re-
porters were lying in wait around the
doors and de Blowitz tells Of the neat de-
vice by which they were all thrown down
while de Blowitz got fright next. He
was also the first to print the treaty
which was the result of the Berlin con-
gress, and a most notable scoop on news
papers, chancellors and crowned heads.
AS we are something of several llars
ourselves and as M. de BloWltz is dead,
we do not wish to intimate that ne mas
at, times drawn the long bow trlhe In
boring that unworthy suspicion as we
read his posthumous book. We trust we
are wrong.
M de Blowitz does not chronicle any of
the famous scoops in which he came
out second best. if there were any. He
leaves you with the feeling that II any
mighty nation, prime minister or crowned
head did anything or was about TO 40
something M. de Blowitz was strictly on
the inside and had his facts from re.
liable sources very close to the crown.
Well, perhaps he did.
The Granville, N. D. Herald has ro-
mantle story of love, estrangement and
reunion that is attracting some attention
in North Dakota !.
In the year 1878 in Berlin, Wis, there
met by chance two young people named
B. E. Corey and Miss Mary Mcklnnon.
They were mutually attracted and IN
April 1879, were married went west and
settled at Hunter, N. d. few years
later discomfort cropped out, and IN June,
1884, the couple separated. Years passed
by and each thought the other dead The
former Mrs. Corey married Mr.. Edge
comb and settled at Kensal where they
lived until 1902 when he died. Mr. Corey
married again but this lady died seven
years ago. 4 VI. =
BY chance Mr. Corey heard this spring
that his first wife was still alive and
where she resided. He wrote her a lettef
which she received on the twenty fifth an
niversary Of her first marriage. 1t gave
her a great start A short correspondence
ensued and Mr.. Corey found that his home
was somewhat lonesome. So hitchlng up
his span he made a bee line for Velva and
thence to Kensal, where the happy re-
union followed. The next day the re-
united pair drove to Minot, where Judge
Murray again made them one. They are
