Morse Than Tnn Bad

The suburbanite stood on the back

ing cigar. He struck up 4 converSatio
with the conductor when that brass
buttoned gent was not busy.
Whatever became Of that basket OF
eggs that was left on your carr he in
Quired.
Il took them home" gloomuy replied
the conductor.
At the aStonished look from the pas
Senger the conductor explained:
You see. any article left in my car
IS mine if no one puts in claim for it
within six weeks. The six weeks were
M yesterday, and the company told
me 70 take the eggs away"

CARL0TTA AND NAPOLEON.
How the Crazed Empress Curse Came
to Fulfilln1ent.


General Henrico d'-pmonte was from
1868 to 1866 the ambassador Of EN-
perOE Macmillan OF Mexico 20 the
court OF Napoleon III. The most inter-
csting and most pathetic episode TO
which D'AlmOnte was a witness and
which is vivid. described in his
memoirs is the meeting between the
scheming French emperor and Maxi
milian's wife, the beautiful and ambi-
uous Carlotta. who shortly before the
catastrophe at Queretaro had come to
Paris TO invoke Napoleon's aid for the
lettering throne OF her husband But
Napoleon Ill. who for his own per
fidious purposes had by promises and
allurements induced Macmillan. then
archduke Of Austria. TO accept the re
stored" throne of MOnteNma. faith
lessly abandoned the unfortunate
prince 10 his cruel fate as soon as he
realized his schemes TO be impractical
BILE
Even at her arrival in Paris Carlot-
ta's mind was already in such high
state Of irritation that il was deemed
advisable TO have General d'Almonte
&c her side during the meeting with Ma
poleon. which took place in the en-
press apartments at the Grand Hotel
lie Paris.
What lends special interest to that
interview IS the fact that the empress.
crazed by desperation and fear for her
husbands safety and by NapoIeon's
unsympathetic attitude hurled n curse
NJ the latter which in time was indeed
fulfilled 70 the very letter.
The empress says General d'AI-
monte. pleaded. partly on her knees
and in the most beseeching terms. with
the stony Frenchman 70 no avail. Then
II was that I witnessed the most har-
rowing and dramatic scene OF my life.
Frantic with grief and excitement. the
empress. with drawn mouth and flash
Ing eyes, sprang TO her feet, extending
both her hands toward the retreating
emperor
Leave me- she yelled in 4 voice
which cut through me like a sword
leave me, but go laden with my curse
the same curse that God hurled at
the first murderer. May your own
house and throne perish amid flames
and blood, and when You are humbled
IN the dust, powerleSs and dlsgraced,
then shall the angel Of revenge trum-
pet into your ears the names Of Maxi
milan and Carlottar"
At Sedan and by the revolution in
Paris Sept 4. 1870, the unhappy Car
lotta's curse was fulfilled to the letter.

geles Times.

No medical man needs u be told that
even disease has its freaks and that re
covery has occasionally been brought
about 10y means ineNpiicably trivial
One Of the most remarkable OF these
unaccountable eccentricities OF disease
took place at Halver. i'm Wcstphalia
The case was that Of a boy who. as the
result OF a very heavy fall backward
on his head while skating. had for n
year and half been deaf and dumb.
One morning his brother went to
awake him and. finding him sleeping
heavily. tapped him lightly on the fore
head. To his amazement the deaf and
dumb boy awoke with loud cry.
Both speech and hearing had been re-
stored.-Kansas City Journal.

TARIFF REVISION.

Dover, Del, April THE Republi-
cen state convention today elected a
full delegation to the national conven.
tion at Chicago. The delegates were
not instructed. The only show of a
contest was over the resolution direct
ing the delegates TO support Taft for
the presidential nomination. 1t was
defeated overwhelmingly by viva
voce vote. The convention was In
control of the state organization,
headed by United States Senators
Dupont and Richardson. The so
called administration faction, which
was defeated at the primaries last Sat.
urday. had only comparatively small
number of delegates in the conven.
ton. They favored instructing the
delegates for Taft
The platform indorses the admins
tration of President Roosevelt and
also commends the presidents recent
course in the enforcement of his poll
cies. 1t also favors a revision of the
tariff.
