'apers of the country would agree among

papers OF the country would agree among
themselves to adopt the new spelling -
said Mr.. Shallenberger to Star reporter
this morning. "the school children. through
constant association with the words in the
new form. would become familiar with
them and grow to think of them and use
them in that form naturally. There would.
OF course. be a great deal of opposition to
the method on the part of the older folks.
but after the first two years or SO this
would begin to die out, and in another
two years would probably be forgotten en-
tirely."
When told that President Roosevelt had
ordered public documents to be printed
hereafter with the new spelling, and had
decided to further cast his influence upon
the side of the reform by using the pho
netic method in his personal correspOn-
dence, Mr.. Shallenberger was much pleased.
He thought such official recognition Of the
reform was long step in the right direc-
ton.
II have not been very earnest in my adj
vocacy of the method" he said. although
believe in it. have promised that in
my private correspondence would use It,
but you know how easily any one can for
get anything like that In the hurry Of the
moment. I think 1t Is a good thing and
sure to grow into general use eventually. .

household suffered acutely. Mime. Feuil-
let's mother was an ardent royalist, and
to her the new imperial dynasty ap-
peared an intolerable usurpation. Ac-
cording to her daughter. the arrange
ments for Napoleon's arrival pulled her
two ways. She was pleased that her
daughter should have been chosen for
prominence. anxious that her ball dress
should be the most becoming possible,
proud in her maternal instincts, and at the
same time exasperated. reluctant, furious
a royal reception should be given at
all to man she considered an upstart
and an adventurer. The day came, and
the future Mime. Feuillet. with a string of
other young girls dressed in white. was
placed along the line of procession. When
It passed everybody shouted and cheered.
and the girl carried away by the excite
ment on every side Of her, did the same.
Suddenly she felt a burning. singing SEN
sation upon one cheek, and before she
could realize what had happened she was
being dragged back out of the crowd by
her mother, whose face was crimson and
whose eyes were blazing with anger. Then
the girl understood. Unable to bear her
own daughter joining the enemy. and cry
ing out Long live Napoleon! she had
publicly and furiously boxed her ears. and
was now dragging her ANONYMOUSLY home,
like q child in disgrace.
The girl spent the afternoon on her bed

Girl Then Receives Diamonds for
: Flowers From Napoleon.


At the moment when enthusiasm for the
two young Spanish sovereigns runs high
there Is an amusing aptness in the fol-
lowing story. In this case excitement over
the person OF Napoleon III cost the en-
thusiast q smart slap In the face. The
anecdote was written autobiographically
by Nine. Feuillet. wife of the famous
French writer-herself just dead In Paris.
At the time of the incident she was a
young girl Of seventeen, living with her
parents In provincial town. OF which her
father was mayor. One day news came
that Louis Napoleon intended passing
through, and would spend one night in the
town. AS mayor, Nine. Feuillet's father
had to arrange the details of the reception
and festivals to be given in the emperor s
honor. while 1t was agreed that his daugh-
ter must present him with bouquet at
the ball to be given In the evening.
Father and daughter were pleased
