BSrnhardt Decorated with 1Eueha
Pri1ed Emblem OF French order.
Sarah Bernhard has been decorated
with the Gross Of the Legion Of Honor
in Paris, after years Of agitation over
the question whether that distinction
could be conferred on her.
Mime. Bernhardt is one Of the few
women who have been admitted into
the famous order founded by Napoleon,
although of Its living members she is
by far the most widely known and most
famous. Merit in military or civil life
being the prerequisite for the decora-
ton, the field Of artistic endeavor Is the
only one in which woman can hope to
achieve the renown that will bring her
the coveted emblem. Even then she
must be a Rosa Bonheur or a Bern
hardt in order to win recognition.
For many years the coveted decora-
ton was denied to Nine. Bernhardt, al
though another actress, Nine. Bartet,
received it more than a year ago. The
first woman to be honored with this
distinction was Nine. Bonheur who

Not His Age.

The oldest youngster in the Senate Of
the United States is Pettus Of Ala
bama. The Southerner says that a
man who does not grow old as rapidly
as do his friends Is at a certain dis
advantage in their presence. The Sen
ator Is moved to this reflection by an
incident occurring at the recent cere-
monies attending the laying Of the cor.
ner-stone Of the new Senate ONCE build
ing.
A venerable old fellow, much bent
and broken, approached the ALBANIAN,
whom he took by the hand, affection
ately inqulring as to his health.
II am in excellent health" briskly
responded Mr.. Pettus, not recognizing
the old gentleman.
why, don't you know me, Pettus? p
came in surprised tone from the other,
who gave such clear evidence Of the
flight of years, I'VE were classmates"
Whereupon Mr.. Pettus remembered
and the two had a friendly chat
When the old chap had departed,
Mr. Pettus turned to a colleague, OBJ
serving:
II knew that gentleman was just my
age, but God bless me, / didn't dream
that was his I'-American Spectator.

was decorated in 1865. Twenty years
later the list of women legionaries In
cluded less than a score.
The Order Of the Legion Of Honor
was established in 1902, when Napoleon
was at the height Of his glory. It be-
came a prize for which the officers and
men in the Napoleonic armies were
ready to take the most desperate
chances on the field of battle, and the
man upon whose breast the order was
pinned by the emperor himself, after
some hard-won victory, felt that no
greater honor could be bestowed upon
him.
The decoration was not limited, how
ever. to the heroes Of war. Dlstin-
gulshed service to the state or the pub
lie in civil life also was rewarded by
the cross, which came to be 80 dear
to the hearts Of the French people that
the order was maintained after the
fall Of the Napoleonlc regime.

Water contracts as its temperature

the heaviest. This Is the point Of It's

Many compassionate persons have
sympathized with a mother who for
several days has walked the business
districts soliciting purchasers for her
offspring. The mother is a big New
foundland dog. She carries three hand
some puppies in a basket placarded
"For Sale" and proudly marches along
the street, following the footsteps Of
her owner. Her fond interest in the
puppies welfare gives a pathetic touch
to the method Of her master In at
tempting to dispose Of them.
When people stop to examine tho
puppies the proud mother sets the bas-

the grain buyer naturally concluded
that they were genuine farmers, and,-
after asking them few questions as
