Eccentric BaIzac.

Leon Gozian used to relate how he
met Balzac one day on the Boulevard
des Capucines dying with hunger"
The novelist insisted on taking Gozian
to a confectioner who sold macaroni
patties. Forgetting his hunger Balzac
plunged into an appreciation Of Coo
psr's Lake Ontario" newly appeared
Gozian noticed that the shop attend
ant, an English girl, had heard him
address Balzac by name and was gaz
ing at the author as though fascinated
She was astounded presently by the
appetite of genius for macaroni pat
ties which disappeared by couples.
How much do l owe you" asked
Balzac.
Nothing. NJ. Balzac" said the Eng
itsh girl firmly
Balzac was nonplused for moment
then he pushed his precious copy Of
Lake Ontario" into the girls hands,
saying. 81 can never sufficiently regret,
mademoiselie. that l did not write that
book"

lakes, and in an hour or so we would
be gliding over the waters of Lake
Megantic and again in civilization
We turned about and looked back
over the deep forest through which
we had journeyed and also at the
bright waters Of the lake. and felt
like saying with the poet:
Wave Of the wilderness adien.
Adleu, ye rocks. ye wilds and woods
Roll on, thou clement Of blue
And I'll these awful solitudes.'
After our guides had lighted their
pipes we started on again and walk
ing slowly for some time, caught sight
of the sparkling waters of Lake Me
gantic. This is large and beautiful
sheet of water, one of the principal
lakes in the Province of Quebec.
Attractive summer camps line its
lovely shores and people from Phila-
delphia, New York and other cities
come here during the summer months
to gain health and strength and fish,
row and sail on its silVery bosom.
Tradition says that when Arnold's
starving army reached this great
sheet of water in the wilderness they
gave a shout, weak and hungry as
they were, that woke the echo of the
forests for miles around. Surely,
thought they, there must be French
settlements not far from the end of
this great lake, and General Arnold
and relief cannot be far away.
"Arnold's thar" said poor dY-
ing soldier as he pointed with his
trembling hand toward the farther
end of the lake. "IIis courage will
save u.s." Over the bright waters of
this beautiful lake these brave and
starving soldiers rowed their boats
and came to the Chaudiere and its
darkly wooded cliffs. They blew
their bugle and listened, but no shout
of relief echoed back to them through
the deep forest and many of the pale,
starving soldiers laid down on the
ground to die and end their misery.
But Aaron Burr rose superior to the
occasion. "Soldiers,n said he, shall
we, now lay down to die after all
these bitter days in the wider
LESS, when our brave leader is pro-
badly returning with food and not
far away No, neyer,n shouted
Captain Henry Dearborn, whose pale
and hollow cheeks told plainly of his
sufferings. "Let us make another
effort to save ourselves" $50 | say,
$50 say shouted Burr. Soldiers"
said he, Ion the swift waters of this
river we will soon find Arnold and
relief and after resting and refresh
ing ourselves we will march ON with
him to Quebec and conquer for Lib
erty.' Yes cried Major Bigelow
"Soldiers, who among you can falter
at such eall?' Then waving his
sword toward the North he shouted,
Forward, in the name of Washing
ton and your country" Starving,
wretehed, and wan this ragged and
famished army sent up shout and
staggered forward.

vENEzvELA's sLoooLEss aEvo
LUTON.

1t Is hard to get line unon the
cause of President Castro's depar'
ture for Europe. Reports are con-
Hicting. some declaring that the Venc-
zuelan executive is suffering from =
malady which requires skilled surgi'
cal treatment which he was unable
to obtain at home; others assert that
the president is physically sound and
that he went abroad because he real
izec that he could not much longer
maintain his iron grip upon the direc-
tion Of the affairs OF that turbulent
South American republic.
The latter theory probably is cor
rect, judging by the recent blood
less revolution" in Venezuela and the
events which are following upon It's
heels.
From an American standpoint. the
significance Of the recently reported
upheaval in Venezuela lies In Cara
cas- cablegram dated December "a
which announces that IF. r. Bart
lett, the representative OF the New
York and Bermudez Asphalt Com
pany, has arrived here and opened
ofdces."
Castro charged that this asphalt
trust financed. armed and drilled the
participants in the Matos revolution.
He proved his charges to the salts
faction OF the highest Venezuelan
court. which ousted the American
trust u,on the charge of fOmenting
sedition. 1t was charged that Cap
tain Rafferty,. OF Company F, list
New York regiment. and three West
Point near graduates were carried to
Venezuela to drill the alleged EN-
ployes of the New York and Bermu-
iez Asphalt Company who afterwar1
engaged in the insurrection against
the Castro government. Notwlth-
standing the threats Of the of1cials
of the asphalt trust. backed up by
moral support from the Washington
administration. Castro, 30 long as he
held the whip hand. maintained the
integrity OF his country's supreme
court.
That affairs have taken a different
turn since the departure OF the
Diaz of Venezuela Is not surpris-
ing. That republic has developed
only one Of his kind.
