The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1910-03-04
AN ECHO FROM THE PAST.

After long years of silence" say
an exchange, Eugene, former EN-
press of the French, recently brok'
her long silence and gave an interview
to an Italian correspondent. Fo
forty years this celebrated woman
now eighty-five years old, has been il
complete retirement, and the patho'
of her interview will appeal to the
whole world"
The former Empress said:
have lived; | have been what
] have been; | do not ask for
more. | ask not to be remember
ed.
l am the past. | am the distant
horizon where exists a mirage,
shadow, a phantom, living sor-
row.
Between my past and my pres
ent there exists not half a centu-
~, but ten centuries. Men have
changed, times have changed.
Men no longer pursue heroic
ideals
I am an old woman, poor in
everything that makes a woman
rich. My husband, my son-that
brave boy-they are gone. But
love France; did I not love
France so much I might try to
forget the mournful memories as
ISOLATED with her.
Our race will never die, will
never be conquered. Our race is
everlasting, because it has found
it has formed, beauty; it is i'm
mortal because its ideals are great
and beautiful.
But for my part, my eyes no
longer turn to the future. l live
only in my youth, long past.
There is nothing for me but to
wait; my dreary winter is nearly
over
This distinguished ex-Empress is but
a dream to the present generation
Her history is only hazy tradition to
most persons now living, and the pa
thetic lament seems almost unreal.
The sad history of Napoleon III
and the beautiful woman who helped
him to his glory seems centuries re
moved from today The Second En-
ppii'e is little more than a myth /,
which Napoleon, dying an exile in
England. forms a background for the
beautiful woman who has lived sc
long to mourn her losses.

RURAL DELIVERY AND GAME.

The lot of the rural mail carrier has
been considered not an unhappy one.
He bore cheerfully the reproach,
shared more or less indefinitely by
others, that he was at least a contri-
buting cause of the annual postal de-
felt. He was the less downcast by
that accusation, since he was other
wise and unanimously assured that
he was peripathetic factor in popu-
lar education through the dissemina-
ton of the newspapers and period
icals, and in reviving the decadent art
of letter writing. His reward, if bulk
ing large in aggregate department
budgets, was individually meager.
Hitherto, this Mercury of the country
side has been permitted to make of

himself incidentally a Nimrod. Along
with his mail pouch he could carry a
game bag and a shotgun. Thus, with
his daily quota of squirrels and rab-
bits, brought down along his route, he
could replenish the family larder and
bid at least partial defiance to the
beef trust. But now the authorities
that be have issued stern edct that
the letter carriers must leave the shot
gun at home. 1t may be wondered
whether the farmers have been pro-
testing against local delays. Have
there been collected any statistics
upon the subject? 1t may be that the
fascination of hunting, the lure of the
chase, has swerved here and there a
carrier too long and too far from his
prescribed route. Logically, this rul-
ing should be followed by the prohi-
bition to stop ON the way to pick ap-
pies or to gather berries or to break
watermelon in their season. The
rural letter carrier may not complain,
but his case in these deprivations as
suredly invites sympathy. Neverthe-
