Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1906-08-23

Saturday while at the Joe
depot we saw 90 packages of
goods for the farmers from out
of town business houses. Are
the farmers to blame? Have
the business houses in Monroe
City done their duty? We are
in a position to know and to
say NO, because we do know.
There must be an awakening or
else there will be a very disa-
greeable Weakening for some
business people and heavy loss
es will come with the awaken
ing.

THE MOB OF ls4s.
Dramatic Climax That Awed the King
Of Prussia.

When the disturbance of 1s4s
broke out in Prussia the king, Fred
erick William ~, issued many
proclamations. They denounced
those who protested against the old
state of affairs and urged a constitu-
ton as "a band of miscreants, most
ly foreigners" and informed "my
dear Berliners" that he would never
grant a constitution.
The actual fighting, however,
when for days his troops took bar
rier after barrier, only to be oppos-
ed after each as resolutely half a
block farther down the street, soon
changed his attitude, and he an
nounced concessions. The troops
were sent from the city.
When the soldiers had marched
away from all parts of the city SOL
emn and silent professions moved
toward the royal palace. They es-
corted the bodies of those who had
fallen in the battle. The bodies of
the slain were borne aloft on htters,
their gaping wounds uncovered,
their heads wreathed with laurels
and immortelles. So the procession
marched into the inner courtyard Of
the palace.
The filters were placed in rows
on the courtyard floor, and around
them stood the multitude of men
with pallid faces, begrimed with
powder, smoke and blood, many of
them still carrying the weapons with
which they had fought during the
night, and between them women and
children bemoaned their dead.
The king was loudly called for.
He appeared in an open gallery,
pale and detected, by his side the
weeping queen.
"Hat off p the multitude shouted.
And the king took off his hat to the
dead below Then a deep voice
among the multitude intoned the
old hymn, "Jesus, Mein Zuversicht"
('Jesus, Ny Refuge"), in which all
joined. The chorus finished, the
king withdrew, the corpses were lift
ed up again and the procession
moved away in grim solemnity.
1t was a terrible humiliation to
the crown, at the same time a point
ed answer to the kings address, in
which the fighters had been de-
nounced as band Of miscreants.
Had there been such among them
Frederick William w. would hard
ly have survived that moment when
he stood before them alone and de-
fenseless and they fresh from the
field of blood, with guns still in
their hands. But at that moment
their cry was not "Death to the
kingp nor 'Down with royaltyp
but "Jesus, my refuge" - Carl
Schurz in McClure's Magazine.

FRENCH PRISON FOR BOYS.
Where unmanassabIs Sons Of the Rich
Are Confined.

Are Confined.
The Maison Paternelle at Met
tray, near Tours, France, where the
sons of rich people between the
ages Of twelve and twenty-one are
incaIcerated because they are un-
manageable at home, is curious in
stitution.
We were greeted at the entrance
with a frontage Of iron bars. No
bell was rung. Our guide noise
lessly inserted a gigantic key, and
we entered a large hall. A long row
Of locked doors greeted us on each
side, and a gallery running around
the top of the hall repeated the
same thing. "These are their
rooms," said our guide in an awful
whisper. "They are shut up in
there now-they must not hear u.s."
This grewsome hall oppressed one
with a sense of doom and despair
quite indescribable-no windows, no
air from the skylight overhead.
"They are permitted to go out
only in charge of a keeper for one
hour in the day. But I will show
you how things have been arranged
for them," he added. "There is, /
believe, one room vacant at the mo-
ment."
1t was a bare cell, just big enough
to contain the narrow bed, small
writing table, two chairs and mi
mute chest of drawers and wash
stand. Iron bars inclosed the win
dow. A paddock and chain enabled
the door to be opened about four
inches when required.
"You see," our guide remarked,
''by this means they hear the messe
in the chapel without quitting their
rooms"
In these cells, he told us, the boys
lived day and night for two, three,
sometimes for six or seven years.
Professors come from Tours and
give them instruction at the small
writing table. Once a month they
take bath, more often if the rela-
tives are willing to pay extra for it.
They are escorted to the bath by a
guardian. The isolation Of each
boy is so thorough that two brothers
were once there together for two
years without ever knowing it. The
price for the privilege Of placing
your son under this parental roof is
$50 month, all instruction being
extra.
The boys are known only by the
numbers on their cell doors, SO that
their sojourn at the parental house
may not tell against them in after
life. "Their friends suppose them
to be en- voyage or in an English or
German family, learning the Ian
guage. One invents a little ro-
nance, you see," said our guide

Vermont is Republican state. 1t
has been so for forty years or more
and its governmental officers and
supporters are intrenched by an i'm
pregnable majority, The defenders
of the Republican administration can
safely say anything, do anything,
claim anything. They know they
will come out ahead on the ballot.
The St. Adams Messenger can call
names, make faces and perform any
kind of editorial antics even to inn
putting to others its own buffoonery.
This is about what the Messenger
does. 1t calls us all kinds of names
and points to the splendid Republi-
can majority! Well, we think Yer
mont would be more progressive
state if it had more alert and in
telligent government and fewer
such silly papers as the Messenger.
The people of the United States,
as a whole, are not Republican in
the proportion of four to one and
that is one reason why the country
prospers and Vermont stands still
except when prodded by good
fighter like Percival Clement.

BUYING WIDOWS.
Matrimonial TraffiCkine In the Days
of Chivalry.

Matrimonial Traffic<ins In the Days
of ChivaIry.
"Of all the matrimonial trafick-
ing in the age of chivalry the ways
of widows" says a writer in an
English magazine, care at once the
boldest and most comprehensive.
As a rule their methods seldom re-
sort to Establishments. 1t is re-
markable when tenderness is an
item in their bargain. Speed was
their maxim. 1t was one that King
John honored, for he profted by it.
Yet one of the rarest exceptions in
the way Of delicacy to these COM
mercial negotiations has evidently
been prompted by a widow who had
quite an exceptional lover. In 1906
William de Landa, either one Of the
most famous of the crusaders or his
son, offers so marks and palfrey
for having to wife Joan, who was
the wife of Thomas d'Arescy, if he
may be pleasing to the said JOAN
The sheriff is instructed to ascertain
the widows wishes, 'and if the said
Joan shall be pleased to have him
for a husband then the sheriff shall
cause William to have seizin of Joan
and her land both of which he OBJ
tanned in the name Of gentle love
and the faith of a true soldier. 1t
is fitting that the name of one of
the men who led the assault of Acre
should be preserved in such record
as the above. He was in truth a
very perfect knight.
zone of the most rampageous Of
the northern English borderers
manifested the like delicacy. Young
Walter de Umfraville, son of Gil
bert, had left widow, Emma, pre-
sumably in the very blush of her
charms. Peter de Vaux had fallen
at her feet, but he declined to OBJ
tain her in border fashion, and this
fact is the earnest pledge of the
chivalry of his love. If he would
not steal her he was bound to buy
her, and coin with the De Vaux
was always scarcity, So he offered
the king 3 palfreys for her If she
wished it, and with what would
read as a graceful acknowledgment
of the borderer's pure chivalry John
absolutely drops the commercial
from his reply and simply orders
Robert Fitz Roger, the sheriff, tc
permit it to be DONE"
