had been cut away with the flower, which
was of pale yellow hue. Scarcely know
ing why, Neil determined to keep the
shoot so ouriously preserved. When he
returned to Paris he placed the young
shoot with an expert fioricuturist and
next spring it bore four of the loveliest
buds in the world, of a pale lemon tinge.
At that time General Neil was sent for
to receive the highest military rank then
known in France, the Grand Cross of the
Legion, and his commission as marshal
OF France, In the presence of the emper-
ors and all the kings of Europe worth
naming. After the solemn ceremony was
ended, and he wore for the first time
on that day the Grand Cross of the Lee
gion of Honor, he went to the reception
of the Empress, who was splendlu in her
perfection of beauty, and presented to
her curious yelowish rose of perfect
form and perfume, but different from
any she had ever seen. and told her its
story.

From the Boston Transcript.
Nearly fifty years ago the late Samuel
Bowles, fresh from a visit to Niagara, ex-
pressed his enthusiasm as follows: Amer

typifes the grand progress of America
The maddening, dashing, seething, buffing

sity of the American mind and the vitality
of American action. Here is the foun-
tain of true young America; here the
breast which gives it milk; here the
nurture which gives 1t vitality" Had the
grafters accomplished their purpose or
should they do so In future it will not be
America that will be written over the
falls, because they will not be there, but

~HE Marechal Neil is one of the
loveliest roses of its kind, the
noisette, and in its name and orr
gin there is one of the hitherto unwritten
romances Of the court of France in the
second empire.
In 1869, when the French army was sent
to help King Victor Emmanuel drive the
Austrians out of Italy, the Third army
corps was commanded by General Neil.
This officer, as his name implies, came
of one of those noble Irish families who
emigrated to France after the battle of
the Boyne in 1890 as did the MacMa-
hons, the Fitziameses and others, who
are now Irish in nothing but their names,
General Neil had commanded and fought
his corps with such eminent ability and
distinguished courage that when peace
was made with his countrymen and
friend, MacMahon. he was created mar
shall Of France
1t was well-nigh autumn before General
Neil was able to return to France, He
had been terribly wounded, and had suf-
fered besides from the dreadful fever of
the italian marshes. For months he was
between life and death, with only his
surgeon, who was his constant compan-
ion, and a soldier servant, who proved tc
be an admirable nurse in his illness and
convalescence.
One day a peasant woman brought him
n whole basket of wild roses from the
Campagna region. General Neil had al
ways been extremely fond of roses, and
NEST of these were new to him, and TINS
served to amuse him until they were

one particular shoot had not faded ana

Encouraging to Authors

Aspiring authors will be pleased to
learn that the impression that only
about 10 per cent of the manuscripts
submitted to publishers ever see the
light is erroneous. The manager for
a large publishing house said the other
day: There is a demand for good
stories here in New York that is hardly
met by the product. Any manuscript
decently written, and with any merit
whatever, is bound to receive careful
consideration. More than that have
in mind a case in which the first con-
Isideration was not met and yet the story
was accepted and published. A CG<
fornia woman sent to a large house
here a 20000-wOrd story written on
what appeared to be discarded curl
papers. Yet so conscientious was the
reader that he waded through a great
part of it under protest, and behold! he
found a gem. A poorly written story,
no matter how good the plot or interest
ing the theme, has little show; but
writer's should not be discouraged by
reports of harsh or Indifferent treat
ment at the hands of publishers"

WANTS $4,000 FOR SKIN
Elk Who Furnished Crafts for Burned
Woman Sues Doctor Who
Peeled Him
BY Associated Press.


SPOKANE, Wash, Oct 15.-The
Spokesman-Review today says: George
A. Lovejoy, the Elk who was skinned to
furnish CRAFTS for a fellow Elk's wife,
suffering from severe burns, has
brought suit against DR.. C. P. Thomas
for $4,000 as the value of $50 inches of
skin which he says the doctor peeled off
of his legs while under chloroform.
Mr.. Lovejoy asserts that it was rep
resented to him that the surgeon would
only take from his thighs two or three
strips, three or four inches long and
three-fourths of an inch wide. When
he got off the table he found that the
front of his legs between the knee and
hip was stripped, and it was ten days
before he could get out of the hos
pital.
Mrs. Fred B. Searles, the original VIC
tim, was burned in an accident with
lamp at Lewiston, Idaho, and was
brought here to st. Luke's hospital for
treatment. A number of Elks volun-
teered to furnish particles of skin, but
Lovejoy proved such a promising sub
ject that while under chloroform he
was peeled for all the gratis necessary
except some supplied by Mrs. Searles'
husband and brother. The grating
operation was successful, but the wom-
an was so weakened from long illness
that she died.

RlackmaiIlna Institution

Ludlow street jail Is a blackmailing
institution, according to Shelf Err
langer's statement before the board Of
estimates.
Il know that Ludlow street Jail"
said the sheriff, through the civic
process, is the champion blackmailing
institution of the United States.
know OF one case where a man was
imprisoned for breach of promise in Il
suit for $4,000, and the people who put
him in Jail compromised for SIT, and
that SIT was divided among three per-
sons. 1 believe that nine out of ten
of the civil prisoners who are sent to
Ludlow street Jail are there through
process of blackmail. The system is
all wrong, to the shame of the legis-
lature.
Mr.. Erlanger asked for $100,750 for
the annual expenses of the Jail. Nine
prisoners he said, was the greatest
number there had been in this Jail
at any one time during the past year,
and at present the Jail has three. They
are guarded and cared for by one
warden, eleven keepers, two engineers,
two cooks and a laundress. After this
announcement by the sheriff it was
computed that on a basis of nine pris-
oners in the Jail all the time, each one
cost the county $50 day during his
incarceration.

Saws He Has the EVIL Eve

Miss Vivian Vaughn is a beautiful
young woman who is one OF the most
shapely models who have consented to
enhance the attractions of Bernard
Macfadden's physical culture exhibi-
tion, which Anthony Comstock has so
sweepingly denounced.
And so Anthony Comstock thinks my
figure is indecent, does he?" quoth Miss
Vaughn. 'I like his nerve, l must say.
Why, my figure has been praised by
the most famous artists in New York,
and they never say anything indecent
about it. You know there are two ways
of looking at things, and this applies
not only to Anthony Comstock, but TO
all. one is with the artistic eye, the
other is with the evil eye / guess Mr..
Comstock has the evil eye all right, for
he seems to see evil in everything.
Why such a man sees evil whether a
woman has clothes on or not. There
is far more suggestion of evil in the
way some of these tight-skirted crea-
lures waddle down Broadway than
there is in the artistic posing of the
human figure in tights. 1t is fine

TRIPLETs ARE PRIDE OF TOWN

and Are Now Healthy, Pros
porous Citizens
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
HENNIKER, N. H., Oct. 15.-This
town has no sons that she is more
proud of than the famous Bacon trip
let's, who have lived in their native
town since their birth, thirty-three
years ago, and who bear such a strik-
ing resemblance to one another that
even some of the oldest inhabitants
are often mistaken in their identity,
and many times the triplets have been
placed in rather peculiar situations.
Their names, too, are nearly alike, be-
ing Ellon r., Elgin S. and Elwin T.
Bacon.
When these remarkable babies were
born, thirty-three years ago, scores Of
friends called to see them, and the
news spread so rapidly that people
from other towns drove miles to view
the Bacon triplets, and such great
numbers came that finally the family
decided to close the house to visitors.
At that time they were bright, hand
some boys and so nearly alike in all
respects that to distinguish them apart
was quite task.
Red, white and blue ribbon was used
and to each one was tied bow of a
different hue. The striking resem-
blance strange to say, has always re-
manned the same. They have the same
shade of hair. complexion the same,
same blue eyes and, best of all, the
same sunny disposition that has
always clung to them since boyhood
and which has made them what they
are, the most popular young men of
Hennlker. At school there was no end
of the trouble that they caused the
other pupils and the teacher in dis
tinguishing them. When one would
become involved in a controversy with
a fellow playmate, he could always
rest assured that his two brothers
would be there to help him out, If they
were needed.
The lives of these three men have
been characterized with much same
ness. Each one graduated from the
high school at Henniker and after leav-
ing school they all engaged in the
dairy business. at which they have
been very successful. During the past
ten years they have been prominent
in town affairs and have taken keen
interest in all that has transpired in
their native town and elsewhere.
When they were eight years old their
father died. and although the family
burdens fell upon their mother, they

In a communication to a newspaper he
says:
Upon my return to my home in
Baltimore after an absence of several
years in the service of my country

Does Maryland intend by this law

stigma upon her sons who leave the

government in the military and naval

Under the election law of 1901 a resi-
dent of the state going to another state
or country and returning here must
give twelve months notice before he
can register. The law was enacted by
the legislature to bar officeholders and
others employed in Washington, who
formerly lived in Maryland, but resided
in Washington and only retained their
residence in Maryland for the purpose
of voting.
