Ice a Bio Problem.

National Provisioner: Ice is a bigger
problem in the meat packers economy
than most people think. Those who walk
through the immense plants and view
therein the extensive refrigeration INSTALL
ments think that the packer produces his
cold air by mechanical process. The visi-
tor drops out of mind the 10000 or 4O, 200
refrigerator cars which are hauling per-
ishahle products all over this country,
These require icing stations and ice stor1
age houses. There are also many branch
houses throughout the country which re|
quire block ice for cold storage Of meat
and other products. The refrigeratina
plant Is a boon and a necessity to the
packer. So also is the frozen surface Of
a water area and the artificial ice plant,
To successfully move and conserve his
products and deliver them in a sanitary
state to the consumer, the packer requires
nearly 10000 o tons of ice in addition I'd
his big refrigerating plants. Why, thd
packers annually store and use 200, 900 tonA
Of ice at Omaha alone. The meat trade
needs about 60, 900 tons of ice per week In
addition to the cold air of the mechanical
refrigeration equipment Of the plants. A
cold snap, therefore, means more for the
packer and the table than would appear
at first glance to the man with cold shivert
or to the lay mind

A Mother and Her Child.

Des Moines Register and Leader: A
went from Cedar Rapids to at
tend a Christmas tree festival at Au-
dubon, Ia, last week with but one sin
gle deslre-to look, for the first time
in seven years., upon her baby's face.
Seven years ago, on Christmas day.

wealthy Audubon man, n now knows
nothing of her parents n their pcv-

who is petted by all and surrounded by
every luxury.
The mother signed owe all rights to
her baby, n agreed to keep away.
Life has not gone on smoothly with her
and many months of hard labor were
required to earn sufficient money to
make the Christmas journey and buy a
modest little present for her child.
The brilliant tree, glittering with
candles, and expensive toys, was sur
rounded by happy villagers. Children
laughed in glee and anticipation. A

called a name. The little girls face
frightened and, holding her pretty
skirt gracefully aside, she edged
through the throng to the front. The
mothers eyes softened, her figure, half
raised from the seat, stiffened and her
face took on a haunted look of sup
pressed longing which stamped itself
forever on the plying souls who saw
and knew.
One long, lingering look of love, then
the little woman crept silently from
the happy thronR and out into this
bleak night.

Hard Times at the Theatres

1t is a significant indication of the
present condition Of hard times in the
the:trical world that in New York
alone 5000 actors are without EMPLOY
ment, and that 800 companies have die
banded for the season. An interesting
article by Mr.. w. w. Harrison on th,s
unusual situation Is published in the
current Harper's Weekly. It seems
that art and rubbish have suffered To-
gether; neither Shakespeare, with one
OF our most popular actors in the cast
nor the kind of farces and musical
comedies which have usually appealed
to the public. have met with success
1t is said thai the receipts for one
nights performance Of "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" with Nat Goodwin an
Bottom, ran as low as 81. The fact
is," concludes Mr.. Harrison, that neos
pie are not in a theater mood, and hat
the plays which are called trturnphs
this year are playing to only small
houses. Nowadays to pay expenses i.

world knows how Josephine struggled to
retain her hold upon the conqueror, how
she failed and how she was cast aside.
But it was for Eleonore that she was
discarded. The mother Of the emperor's
first son was given the house in which
the child was born, and an annuity OF
1900 nvres, but she was not permitted I'd
return to Fontainebleau, where the son
was kept.
February 4. 1908, Eleonore was married
to Captain Revel Of the French army.
lie was sent to prison for forging pay
warrants, and she was granted a divorce.
Ihen she was married to Lieutenant
Philippe Augierre. AT his death she be-
came the wife of Charles Auguste, Comta
Luxboug. 1t is not recorded that thd
emperor ever saw her after her first mar
rage, although he continued to provids
for her. She never saw her son arain mn
til 1913.
Resembled Great Father.
The little little Leon continued to reside
at Fontalnebleau, in the care of Nine,
Lolr, nurse of Achille Murat, son of the
emperors sister. He grew much like his
rather In face and form; unlike him in dis
position and manner. Napoleon never
publicly acknowledged him, but freouent-
~ had him at the palace romplng with
MIN at childish games. At one time Ma
poleon thought again of adopting him. in
spite or Josephine's protests, and sought
precedents for the action; but this plan
was finally abandoned when the divorce
from Josephine was secured and the mar
riage with Maria Louisa contracted.
In 1872 the boy was placed under the

mayor of San Forget, a baron of the en-
pire and father-in-law of Meneval, the
emperor's private secretary and one of
his numerous biographers. Two years aft
erward Napoleon settled upon Leon 100, 900
francs and an income of 1900 livres.
Then came st. Helena. Before his de-
parture for the island OF his exile, Napo-
leon gave Leon into the care of Cardinal
Fesch. By his will he left him 800, 900
francs with which to buy an estate, and
declared:
Il will not be angry If little Leon en-
ters the magistracy, should that be his
choice"
But the magistracy had no charms for
Leon. He. was not of the stuff that good
magistrates are made Of. Belligerent ac-
tiVity was his nature. He was ambitious,
but not patient; he was brave, but not
careful; he was proud of his great father,
and resentful that fate should nave de-
MED him the opportunity to follow In his
footsteps.
AS he grew to manhood he became a
MED legitimate outlet for action, found
outlet In dissipation. He became an in
V~eterate ganester, and at one sitting lost
$4,000 francs. His fortune was soon gone
and Cardinal Fesch paid his debts.
