cast off upon the charity of cold merciless world and as his country men became more antagonistic, firece and invective against him, disappoint- ed in love and weary of life, so he turned against them also and alone in a distant land exiled from the
 home for which he had no tender feel ings-he poured fourth his poetic soul.
 Broken by dissipation, disappoint-

 thirty-six, the very prime of his life,
 in far and distant land passed to

 After his death he was once more the darling of the court and all Lon
 don grieved when the news came of Byron's death, bells tolled and the
 people spoke in whispers, "he has departed"
 Byron's mission was a high one his aim one of true polite genius; his poetry thrills and inspires and at the same time entertains, the poets
 true message; that he failed to at
 tain his reach was due to his destiny
 more than any other cause for, There's divinity that shapes our ends,
 Rough, hew them how we will,
 That makes the destinies of men
 To glory or despair
 As it was not given to Moses to
 enter the Promised Land, so it was not given to Byron to know how he was appreciated, so it was not given
 to Napoleon to gain his one great
 purpose; all these men had high ideals and struggled ever through their lives to gain them, but genius is divine infirmity, martyrdom.
 The poets in order to mingle the col ors for his pictures melts the Uni verse, but he can not go ino the fire
 without getting burned; cannot en. ter the thunder cloud without re- ceiving the shock of electricity, and those souls who have striven and forced their way ever upward and onward have fed the splendor of their brain with tears from their eyes and blood from their hearts, Mans grasp was not meant to gain his reach, or what's a Heaven for?

His dream was great one, his purpose noble one,, but he failed, yet his was a mighty failure. A superlatively bad man, whose public career embraces some serious mistakes in national policy, whose public life ended in defeat and who died in prison, is yet so great man that his name fills more pages in the worlds solemn history than that of any other mortal. Everything con- nected with him is deeply interest ing not only to the military student, but also to the philosophy and states man. No other mortal has been praised and blamed, defiled by some and abused by others as he has been. To what are we to attribute this change in the fortunes of him, who had long been "the spoiled child of VASCOAy W Oo IL OuC u duy ldulIy plans or the execution of his plans?

There is even a persistent Paris ru-
NOR Of "R. C."-'the King OF the Cata-
combs" In the version used by Gas
ton Leroux he is chief of a disciplined
army of foreigners, counterfeiters, bur-
glars and abductOrs for ransom, A.
lacking only the very rich and operat-
ing without scandal. In the quarter
of the Pantheon where superposed gal
leries exist below the level of the Me-
tro, the King of the Catacombs has a
secret chamber. Surrounding it, in a
circle, are the headquarters of each Of
his sections, watched and overheard by
"R. c." when he pleases, through a
circle of peep-holes.
This vast conspiracy, which utilities
equally young men of good society as
indicators, clerks of public services
as spies, physicians to give false GER
tificates and bands of Apaches to mud
die clews of expert burglary, has ex-
perts to work it's counterfeiting press
es, execute its forgeries and frauds on
insurance companies.
The work is done in leisurely impun
ity 100 feet beneath Paris. Electric
lighting, steam heat, scientific venti-
lating, vast underground kitchens,
heavy carpets and hangings, luxuri-
Gus furniture in sleeping-rooms and
clubrooms makes this realm Of "R.
c." seem like pipe dream romance. But
the police know its existence and are
powerless The catacombs are maze,
a labyrinth, tangled with masonry and
cave-ins!
Subterranean Paris! 1t Is a wonder
full place, concealing mysteries, honest
and dishonest, equally enticing to the
Imagination. It has been long known,
long forgotten. 1t has enjoyed long
impunity. But now that the Metropol-
itan Underground Railway is throwing
it's branches, literally, under the entire
capital, the supporting surfaces that
were just strong enough are being
weakened. A few streets have caved
in. There will be more. You will hea,
lots more of Subterranean Paris!

At $50 D. M, recently, the corner of
the rue Damremont and the rue de
Tourlaque, Paris, sank into the ground.
Pedestrians saw man and woman
disappear. The man, twenty feet
down, buried to the hips in falling
dirt, heard the woman crying: Mon
sieur, l am the mother of a family,
save mel"
The hole enlarged. Tons of debris
poured in. Two policemen, let down
with ropes, disengaged the man. But
the woman had disappeared.
The hole was fifteen feet long, twelve
feet wide and thirty feet deep. Po-
men evacuated the adjoining houses.
At depth of 10S feet they found the
body of Nine. Chevalier-on the floor
of a gallery of the ancient catacombs!
Phey blame the recent heavy rains,
undermining the surface; because, the
next day, a spot ten feet square in the
quadrangle of the old Louvre Palace,
sank knee-deep with a crowd of tour
lists.
Next, two days later, part of the
Place of the Palais Royal went down
three feet in the midst of pedestrian
traffic. In neither case had the Met
ropilitan Underground Railway any
thing to do with the cave-ins
At this hour, the Paris under-realm
shelters incredible enterprises; store
houses of criminal bands; vast mush-
room plantations of honest under
ground farmers; stored bones of gener-
atoms of Parisians, and luxurious Sc
cret refugees of rich families.
1t is the whole story of old Paris.

SWISS TRAMPS FEW.

A Poor Place for the Man Who
Doesn't Want to Work.
Switzerland is not place for
tramps, because the man out of en-
ployment and who makes no effort to
find work is not tolerated for a mo-
ment in that country. The district
authorities will secure him a job at
hard labor and little pay, and such an
offer can be refused only under the
penalty of going to a penal work
house. These institutions are under
military discipline, the work severe,
the wages penny or threepence per
day, and release Is granted only upon
the advice of those in charge. No diff
ficulty is experienced in determining
between beggars and unemployed. be-
cause all legitimate laborers have pa
pers given them by the district in
which they live containing informa-
ton concerning the position they have
held.
In every part Of Switzerland are es-
tablished relief In kind" stations for
the exclusive use Of respectable unem-
ployed. Only those are admitted who
have had regular work during the pre-
vious three months and have been out
OF employment for at least five days.
These men must be on the lookout for
work and accept any situation that Is
onered. because the chronic loafer is
soon detected by the police and his
papers are marked SO that he can
never again seek refuge in a station .

The Paris of the middle ages was quar-
ried underground for the stone built
above ground In the days Of Joan of
Arc there was already a subterranean
labyrinth under half Paris, already
mystery, where Satanailost Hardy de
Passavant and the Duke of Burgundy
met the heads of the trades unions.
Fantastic streets, their smooth stone
ceilings forty feet beneath the surface,
emptied into vast dark halls, turned.
intersected, without plan, according to
the quality of the stone. Galleries dat
ing from Gallo-Roman times had be-
come forgotten in Gothic times-as
tourists know who have stayed at a
certain pension near the Pantheon.
The known extent of this under
ground world is astonishing. Up to
the twelfth century the palaces,
churches, public and larger private
buildings were constructed from cata-
combs quarried under 1900 acres Of
the present surface in the three we'll
known groups-under the Gobelins;
under the Latin quarter, and, on the
other side, the whole Trocadero quar-
ter.
How is it that this underworld does
not cave in oftener? The weaker sur
faces have already caved in. In par
ticular, around the year liza, the cave
ins, following prolonged rains and
much new building became so numer-
Gus as to alarm the population. At
the moment when a commission was
examining a house in the Rue dem
fer went -entire-twenty- eight
yards below the surface-into an abyss
Drayloads of boxed goods enter GER
tain Monmartre courtyards in plain
daylight-and disappear. No search
could find them. They gave gone down
concealed elevators to a primitive lit
tie railway that runs through some old
quarry gallery, five blocks, ten blocks,
to another part of Paris. Some honest
commission merchant hoists them up
and mingles them with other goods,
all ready for shipment.

GOLD PETE" rs DEAD.

Honest Negro Paid Notes Securing
Freedom 20 Years After War.
Peter Morton, or "Old Pete" a
colored man and a quaint character
of antebellum days, died at his home
in Geneva court recently, the Cincin-
natl Enquirer says. He did not know
his exact age, which was about 80
years, and there is probably no one
now living who does. When asked
about it he would say that he was "a
right smart sized boy the year the
stars fell and when Jenny Lind came
down the Ohio River"
"Old Pete," since the close of the
Civil War, has at different times been
family servant and man-of-all-work
in many prominent families on the
hills, and in Avondale, and varied his
employment occasionally by doing
porter work in downtown stores It
is related of him, and the story was
confirmed by himself, that before the
Civil War he was the property of a
Kentucky gambler, who went broke,
and "Pete" with all other chattels DOS
sessed by the gambler, had to be sold
to satisfy his creditorA

good nature and strict honesty. offered

would execute his personal note in
their favor and make his payments
upon it, according as he was able. until
they were repaid. This he agreed to.
but with the close of the Civil War
and the scattering of his friends far
and wide, Pete fell into. hard lines
from lack of q permanent home and
steady employment. but he never for
got his financial obligations to his
banker benefactors and he continued
making his payments to them for
twenty years after the close Of the
war until the debt was finally paid
Often he was told that the claim was
outlawed and he could not be legally
forced to pay it, but he invariably re-.
piled that his benefactors had trusted
him and no matter how long It took
he would pay them back to the last
cent.

Now, this is no fanciful fable.
It's what 1 heard people say
There once was a child named Ann
Mabel,
Who polished her shoes all the day.
Folks called the child so unassuming;
Folks said that Ann Mabel was shy.
She never is pert or presuming,"
They said, but they didn't know
why.
They spoke to Ann Mabel politely,
And sweetly Ann Mabel replied,
But never looked up at them brightly
And ever her blue eyes did hide.
So some one once made an endeavor
To find why she acted this way,
And said to her: why do you never
Look up when you're talking, ]
pray?"
It's not that I'm shy" said Ann Ma
bel,
"'Nor bashful at all, but 1 choose
To look down whenever I'm able
Because I'm so proud of my shoes"
Dressing Susan.
When Dorothy was four years old
her mother said to her one day, 'Now,
dear, you are such big girl that /
think you should learn to dress your
self. That would help mother so much
every morning, and every afternoon
after your nap"
"Why, mother" replied Dorothy, II
don't believe l could do it, and be-
sides, you know l have to dress Big
Susan every morning"
Now big Susan" was the name of
a great cloth doll, almost as large as
