Although Lneducated she devoted her

money, she made herself some dresses

native town. She turned up at Buda-

WOMEN AS - -
- SOLDIERS
OF ORTUNE

Soldiers of fortune among men are
not uncommon-those who wander
about the whole wide world seeking
adventure, now mining in Africa, now
serving in some South American war,
now fighting duels in China or India
or where not, spurred on by an insa'
table lust for excitement. They may
do considerable harm or considerable
good and generally end by getting
themselves shot and so good-by. But
when woman is cursed with the same
spirit she leaves wake OF trouble
that involves many other men and
women. She must use men to secure
those things for her which she herself
is unable to secure. Men must be her
tools, made to do her bidding under
the influence of her fascination.
In everyday life there are, OF COURSE,
many minor examples of this, but now
and then a woman arises who wanders
over the two continents involving in
her meshes men of international prom
inence-strong men generally thought
to be proof against such things. In
the old days such women used to
make history; today-well, they make
scandal. There is no walk of life, no
country which has not furnished its
quota OF such magnetic, INSCRIPTIONS
women. Little German peasants,
French dressmRkers. English govern
esses and American shopgirls have
had meteoric flights and toppled over
men who have spent lifetimes of hard
work in making regulations for them
selves.

girl with the unromantic name of
Boozer-Mary Boozer. later changed

said to be most beautiful type of

is given to those alone who spend
their early days in roaming over the
mountains and riding half-broken
horses across the blue grass country.
There was not swain in the country
who did not fall under the influence of
her sparkling eyes and keen wits.
Hardly had she reached maturity
before duel was fought on her &C.

one of those bitter contests of arms
where two men stand before each 9TH

second will. The latter put the will in
the hands of Havre lawyer and gave
him power to act as his notary. AS
result the will was taken into court.
This was part of the scheme of the
Humberts-a scheme to legalize the
fiction. The money being tied up, it
was natural that the Humberts should
be forced to borrow. And borrow
they did.
For 16 years, while one kind of liti-
cation after another occupied the at
tention of the courts, the big safe
which was the depository of the $780,
100000 occupied a position of honor
in the Humbert household. When
madam wanted to raise the wind" she
talked about the safe and it's contents
and explained the status of the litiga-
ton, exhibited a notarys certificate
that the safe actually contained the
bonds said to be held there and pro-
tected her creditors by her own per-
sonal note Endorsed by Maria, so that
whichever way the ultimate decision
of the court ran the lenders would be
secured. So long as this ultimate de-,
cision could be deferred so long the
game could be successfully played.
1t seems remarkable that these cred
itors did not ask for the numbers of
these bonds or examine more closely
into the antecedents of the rich Amer
lean, who, although the possessor of a
fortune of $20,000,000, excited no at
tention in his native land in fact, who
| seemed to be entirely unknown.
1t may be that they did investigate.
and, lacking sufficient data to probe
the matter TO the bottom, were unable
to so beyond the records of the French
courts; or. satisfied by the legal steps
which had been taken that such a
legacy did actually exist, they rested
in the secure belief that their loans
would be repaid
The End of the Farce.
Various efforts were made to recov
er large sums loaned the Humberts,
but nearly all of these were unsuccess
flu. When the creditors resorted to
| civil process for this purpose they
found that their notes were qualified
in various ways, the most common of
which was that payment of the loan
| should be made after the Crawford
| compromise shall have been settled I"
or payable after the conclusion of &C.
tons of law
1t became necessary to proceed
along other lines and to raise the cry
of fraud before the bubble could be
pricked. This was done by the cred
itor to whom they owned $4,000. He
asserted that the safe did not contain
the S20000,000 claimed by the Hum
berts and attested by the notary and
he asked for an examination and in.
ventory. To this the lawyer for the
"Crawfords' objected, but the lawyer
for the Humberts. innocently believ-
ing in the integrity of his clients, as
scented. The result is known to the
world. The safe contained only about
81, 200 in securities and a few insig-
nifcant articles of jewelry.
Two days before it was opened the
Humberts had fled from France
In the end these adventuresses come
to grief in one way or another. A few
brief years they reign and then they
fall There is no recovering after this.
u is the logical end, and bitter end.

Travis the sum of $130 900, knowing that, after such service, he will have had enough experience of the world and disciplinary training to insure the proper disposal of what has taken me lifetime to accumulate"
 Such are the terms of the will of the late s. Houston, wealthy man of Chi cago, made to his nephew, George O., Travis, telegraph operator of Okla homa The other day the young man became of age and appeared at the Unit ed States army recruiting office and en- listed for the purpose of carrying out the dying request of his uncle.
 MT. Houston was an old soldier, hav- ing served in the civil war in the Fourth United States artillery. Unable to con- tinue an army career, Houston, having no sons of his own, was determined that his next of kin, his nephew, should be- come soldier
 Young Travis said it was not neces- sary for his uncle to make that clause In his will which makes service in the United States army compulsory for him as he had always intended to enter the Army as soon as he was 21.

Beautiful Suburban Addition of Coming Texas City, fort Worth, Being Sold by Representatives
 Now in Newport.

The promise and future of Fort Worth, Texas are assured and visitors t0 that city are al- most unanimous in proclaiming its coming greatness in a com mercial way. With twelve trunk lines entering @he city and pop lation of 100000 within a 150 mile radius, the location of Fort Worth is inconparable. In clim- ate, beautiful homes, handsome buildings, paved ooulevards the city offers unexcelled advantages. The city has achieved prominence as jobbing center and by reason of it's packing industries and has been a fast grower doubling real estate values in the past three years.
 MT. P. R. Cook, assisted by MT. Winn, is now in this city, representing the Interstate In- vestment Company of ShreVe- port, Louisiana. This company has invested $750,0 in the pur- chase and improvement of Ar lington Heights, an addition ad- jacent to the city on the west, high in altitude, perfect in drain age, and in every way adapted for a fashionable suburb. Of this tract, the company is plac- ing 645 of the choicest lots on the market and MT. Cook is meeting with a big success in their sale.
 The president of the company is J. s. Handford of Batesville and the secretary MT. J. A. Wat kins of Little Rock, both we'll known in Newport.
 In Batesville, Messrs. Cook and Vim sold over 80 lots and in this city many conservative business men have shown their confidence in this invest ment by subscribing for several lots.

BlantOn Acquitted.

Robert Morrow, of this city, Wednesday afternoon received a telegram from his brother, John Morrow, who is at Joplin, Mo-, stating that Charles Blanton has been acquitted in the Federal court in that city of the charge of defrauding the government, while acting in the capacity of a United States officer in purchas- ing sites for government build ings.
 The progress of this case has been watched with interest by the people of this section, a num- Der of Batesville citizens having been summoned as witnesses III the case. Blanton was not ln- dicted for frauds in connection with the federal site in this city. although such were said to have been perpetrated, but people from this city were summoned to tell what they knew of the Batesville deal, as circumstantial evidence in the cases III which he was indicted. - Batesville Guard.
