VICTOR HUGo's LOVE STORY.

/ have beer reading this week of one
great poet who was unable TO carry out
the great ideal Of his life. The man was
Victor Hugo. and his ideal was marriage
with a royal princess Helena
Of Mecklenburg- Schwerin-who in the
year OF Queen Victoria's coronation, was
married 10 the Duke Of Orleans.
The story is POLITICALLY pathetic. Hugo
first met the princess at a fete given by
Louis Philippe. IN honor OF her coming
marriage. AS soon as she heard who he
was she went TO him with hand OUT
stretched and said. Il have been watt
ing for this moment, NJ. Hugo. You and
II. Victor Cousin (the great philosopher
and Platonist who introduced Germany
TO Frances notice. are the two French
men have longed to see. / know your
verses by heart. and the first thing I did
when ! arrived ia Paris was 10 visit your
NOfre Dame.
Such confession from so gracious a
young princess was. perhaps. more than
enough to turn a poets head. / have
often heard the late Paul MeuTice tell
the story, and when he told il Paul
Meurice. Hugo's great friend and falJh~
full Boswell, always added: They met
in 1887, the princess and poet. and in 1885
Hugo produced 'Ruy Bias London
Daily Express.

| Hogs-It was a case of too many
hogs this morning for the good of the
sellers. With 200 cars in sight pack
ers seemed to feel that the situation
| was entirely in their favor and they
proceeded to pound values right from
J the start. 1t was evident, however
that they wanted the hogs, and in spite
of all their efforts they did not sue
coed in getting the market down more
than 21sc on an average Some hogs
sold at fully yesterdays prices, while
in some cases as much as 5 cents was
taken off. The big bulk of al the
hogs sold at 1927 1860, while il
will be remembered that yesterday the
long string sold at $3.50. The trade
was slow at the prevailing prices ow
ing to the strong effort made on the
part of sellers to maintain the mar
ket and still the most of the hog.
sold in good season.
