two Different stories as to who was
the Original.


Like many Of the other heroes of the
nursery tales, Bluebeard once lived I'm
the flesh and blood, II the old chron.
icler Holinshed, from whom Shake
speare got 50 much of bis material, Is
to be believed According to that writ
er, the original Bluebeard was Giles de
Retz or de Raiz, marquis of Laval,
who became marshal Of France In 1920.
He is described as an impious and de-
bauched man, a devotee of the black
art, who enticed young men and WON
en- to his castle and killed them in or
der to obtain innocent blood for his
magical entertainments and who also
murdered six or seven Of his wives.
His crimes were discovered, and he
was burned at the stake In 1440 at
Nantes.
According to an old French legend,
however. the original Bluebeard lived
in Britanuy in the sixth century and
was known as Count Conomer After
seven of his wives had disappeared he
became enamored of Triphyna, the
daughter Of Count Guereck Of Vannes.
The wedding was celebrated at Vannes,
and Conomer took his bride home.
Before a year had passed Triphyna
noticed a change In her husbands man
ner, and, fearing the same fate that
had met her predecessors, she fed from
the castle, but was overtaken by Como
mer, who struck off her head with
single blow st. Gildas, by whom the
unfortunate wife had been educated,
happened to pass the spot soon after,
and, seeing the body, he tenderly re-
placed tho bead and by prayer restored
Triphyna b life. The story does not
relate the end Of Conomer.

The Yankee In German Eyes.

The Yankees are a joyous people.
They are before everything optimists.
Why should they not be? They dwell
in spacious land full of the treasures
of the earth. They are not overladen
with knowledge, but learn for practice,
and during the greater part of the year
q blue heaven stretches over them. For
all those reasons the Yankees may well
laugh. The Americans are, moreover,
born humorists.-Berlin Woche.
