Senator's Neck Broken IS Years Ago

tered the senate Neuralgia had taken
a firm hold of him and his eyesight
had grown so bad as to approximate
blindness. He was advised to try
osteopathy. He went to New York,
accompanied by his son. Almost the
doctors first remark was:
Why, senator, you have had your
neck broken. l would say you were
thrown from a horse and sustained
the broken neck
That is just exactly what did hap
pen" replied Senator Money, recall
ing the injury at Franklin
Il can cure your neck" said the
physician 1T will require but a mo-
ment's time"
The osteopath laid the senator on
table, took hold Of the misplaced
vertebra with both hands and put
it into proper position
The physician toll Senator Money
that he must take precautions until
the weakened muscles regained their
normal strength. He was cautioned
not to turn his head In looking at
anything, but to move his entire body.
These instructions were observed and
the neck apparently became as strong
as it was IS years before the opera
ton.

LaFoIIette's WIG a Real HeIp to Him

Mr. LaFollette's great gift was
that Of oratory. He tried for all the
prizes in sight and had the air Of a
man who thought he could win. Miss
Case had some oratorical talents Of
her own, and began to cultivate them
early and late She won in the end,
for the special prize for oratory at
graduation came to her and not to the
man who later became her husband.
1t was not long. however, before the
wculd-be winner of the prize won the
winner, and they were married short.
ly after their graduation from the uni
versity in 1879
Mrs. LaFollette is very domestic.
and the social life at Washington has
little or no attraction for her She
spends much Of her time in works Of
charity and education.
When her husband was elected to
congress Mrs LaFollette spent her
first winter in Washington taking q
course in the law school Of the George
Washington university Should It
ever happen to be the part Of this Wis
oonsin woman's duty to aid her hus-
band in his campaign for the presi-
dency, It Is said he will have at his
command assistance he will in no wise
neglect.

Wy ASHINGTON IT, Attorney-General
w Charles J. Bonaparte is an Ameri-
can who never has passed out Of the
dominion Of Uncle Sam and who has
registered a vow never to do So.
When Mr.. Bonaparte accepted a po-
sitlon in President Roosevelt's cabi-
net he made known this limitation on
his usefulness and took the place only
on condition that his official duties
should never oblige him to leave the
United States. Just why the attorney
general has determined never to visit
an alien land no one can say positive
ly, though 1t is easily surmlsed that he
makes this protest against the way in
which hts maternal grandmother was
treated by the great Corsican. During
the lifetime Of the elder brother, Col
Jerome Bonaparte. Charles Bonaparte
frequently was invited to Paris by the
head Of the family, then in his prime,
Napoleon ILL.,. but he always disdalned
to notice the invitation to join a
family circle which frowned on Ameri
can Affiliations.

fHR REMARKABLE ROMANCE OF
A LOTTERY TICKET.
POOR French Peasants Days Of e
travagant Celebration Are Fol-
lowed by Very Sad
Awakening.

The beginning of all that is to fol
low happened on the day that the re-
suit Of one of the great state lotteries
of France was announced Through
out the whole country hope fingered
In many a heart Even the poor peas
ant guiding the plow in the field,
or feeding cattle in the farmyard,
thought of his solitary ticket in the
state lottery, and fondly pictured his
well-remembered number the winner
of $4,000 francs.
Such is chance. Even this was not
impossible. And the little seamstress,
with eyes aching from arduous plying
of the needle, wondered whether the
evening paper would transform her
into an heiress. All alike, rich or
p1or were at this time full of expec-
tations, but more particularly was
certain young man, who had arranged
that a friend should send him a tele-
gram should any Of his numbers in
the lottery prove successful.
At noon on the eventful day tele-
gram arrived at the house Of this
young man. "You have won a prize
of 100000 francs" he read breath
lessly.
Right and left through his native
town the news spread, and the young
man received innumerable congratula-
tions Of his good fortune. The sud
den acquisition of riches he found car
rled with 1t many surprises. Men
whom he scarcely knew now treated
him as an old friend and invited him
to call.
Still the prospect Of the 100000
francs was such that he felt that he
could afford to increase his circle of
acquaintances. SO the young mill
lionalre" betook himself to the bank
and withdrew his savings of several
years.
A beggsrly sum it now seemed in
comparison with the wealth that was
his in Paris, and thither he determined
to repair. Arrived some hours later
at the French capital, he was met by
the friend who informed him Of his
good fortune A sumptuous dinner at one
of the best restaurants, followed by
a box at the theater passed the first
day pleasantly enough the next the
lucky young winner Of the lottery prize
decided he ana his friend, bank clerk
should spead, as soon as the latter was
free, in motoring
Thus several days passed, and, what
with dinners at the best restaurants.

Price of Diamonds

is little danger that such a governing
body would ever permit any drop in
the price Of its gems; and, apparently.
through pressure or promises-no one
will ever know which--it has induced
the Premier to accept the same pol
icy as a basis for its operations.
The immensity Of the diamond busi-
ness cannot be grasped without an un-
derstanding Of the size. working and
output of the South African mines con
trolled by the De Beers and the New
Premier Companies. The great mines
cover such large areas. as. for exam
pie, the Kimberley, S3 acres; the De
Beers. %; the Du Toits Pan. 45. and
the Bulfoutein, 36. These mines lie
close together in a circle OF three and
half miles. The Premier is a sep
arate mine 20 miles northwest Of Pre-
toria. and Is larger than any OF the
others. Il has the distinction Of hav-
ing the biggest known "diamondiferous
pipe'-the pipe containing the dia-
mond-bearing blue ground" the area
Of this Is estimated at about 35O,OO0
square yards. The expense Of the
mines is enormous; the De Beers Com
pany alone spends 100000 a month on
the operation Of its workings
It is a significant fact that the
American market controls at least s5
per cent Of the diamonds In the world.
Here is a trayful OF dainty brlliants.

These are not workmen: they are

whispered that this controversy threat
ened to lower the price Of diamonds all
over the world. Day by day the pa
pers, east and west, printed the re-
ports which were coming thick and
fast, that diamonds were to be cheap
and then cheaper; and one sensa-
tional sheet prophesied that school
boys would be playing with these Jew
els as marbles before many years
were out.
Now, what Of this diamond syndi-
cate and the possibility Of a break in
the price Of diamonds? This is a day

to dry dock we simply sawed off either
end and left the plug in the planks. {"
