At this juncture Senator Foraker

This was followed by two long

While in this city Neuhof met
some Corsican patriots whom he
befriended- He expressed the great
est sympathy for their cause and
promised to do what he could to
interest various European countries
to the extent that they might assist
in throwing off the yoke of the
Genoese. In return for these good
wishes the Corsicans invited Neuhot
to land on their island and take
part In their struggle for freedom.
This the adventurer was not loath
to do. After trying several other
countries without success he was
hnally able to enlist the sympa-
thies of the Dey Of Algiers. snd.
with the latter's aid, which consist
ed of a shirload of ammunition and
supplies. he landed in the island
on March II, 1916. He was imme-

siasm on the part of the inhabi-

South Dakota furnished a romantic

John II. Chase and T. F. McIIheny

Perhaps the strangest wager of the
1886 campaign was made by William

EdrIg Life of Neuhof.

The lie story of this adventurer
king is me of the most varied in
all the annals of Europe. He was
born in the city of Metz in 1886.
His father, a Westphalian noble
man, had won the special favor of
the Duchess of Orleans while he was
serving as an officer In the French
army. Owing to the relations ex-
listing between his father and the
duchess, Theodore, whose family
name was Neuhof. went to Paris
in 1895 after the e;der Neuhof's
death. He was taken under the pro-
lection of the duchess and served
as one of her pages for several years.
He WIS thus early initiated into
the usageS of court life. and was
trained in all the accomplishments
which fitted him to gain the favor
Of the great, who in that generation
thought more of outward appear
ance than the character of the man
himself, at least so history tells us
was the case in France. When he
became of age he entered the French
army, but his propensity for gamb-
ling soon ran him so heavily in debt
that he resigned and went to
Sweden, where he entered the SER
vice Of Charles XII.

Waipoie Ereets Monuments.

Horace Walpole. who. by the way,
was great one for assisting peo-
pie after their death-as readers OF
-ChaIerton's Life" will recaIl-now
came forward and paid for a monu-
ment over poor Theodore's grave,
which, but for this, would have been
unmarked and unknown 10 this day.
The. crown cut over the tablet IS a.
counterpart Of the crowns on the
kings own coins. the purchasing
power Of which, unfortunately, did
not extend TO English loaves OF
bread Reading between the lines,
it is pretty plainly seen that Theo-
dOre came TO his untimely end from
starvation and worry.
When Walpole approached the au-
thorities Of the church TO put up the
tablet, several Of them strenuously
objected 10 Theodore being given the
title Of king, but, on going into the
matter. WaIpole compelled them to
ADMIT the royal dignity or the august
pauper. The cost OF the monument
over King Theodore's grave would
have kept him alive for many a day
sufficiently long. perhaps, to have
enabled him TO write home and raise
the wind. But 1t is rather late day
for US To indulge IN heroics. How
ever prosperous Theodore may have
been, or however gingerly he might
have fostered the vital fame. it
would have f1ickered out by this time,
so, after all, perhaps his majesty
is none the worse of for his soF-
rowful earthly experience Be this
as IL may, the renovation Of his tab
let, with its sad tale OF human
wretchedness. should not be lost as
a irst-class opportunity for moral
izing on a fitting subject. Alas, poor
