warded by quite remarkable success
and her profits became sufficiently
large to enable her to carry out her
long cherished scheme of building
homes for asylums for the orphan. poor
OF the city. AS her prosperity contin-
ued and her revenues increased she
converted her business into a steam
bakery which enabled her to devote
all the more Of her income to her IA
vorite projects. Her gain was al
ways a gain for charity. Although not
able to read or write, Margaret" as
she was familiarly known, rose to a
unique distinction and enjoyed the con-
hdence and cooperation of the best
people Of the city. At her death her
property was distributed by will,
among the orphans of New Orleans.
This was the first monument erect

powerful object lesson to all who
know the story Of the generous soul

MARIE ANTOINETTE'S TABLE
Priceless Historic Relic Which ls
Owned by Boston Frenchman
Living In Roxbury.

Observation-Disclosures to the world, a
priceless collection of French relics of
the French revolution and the days of
Louis XIV, has been discovered in the
possession of Charles Lebon, Boston
Frenchman, living in Roxbury.
Among these relics is a small table
which was once the property of the
martyred Queen Marie Antoinette
When the frenzied mob burst into the
royal apartments of the Louvre at
Paris during the reign of terror, this
table was taken from the boudoir of
the queen and placed in the soldiers
barracks, situated in another part of
the same palace

Where was it?" asked him with a
natural curiosity to learn the scene of
the disaster.
'In the west garden" he replied.
I'D been sticking in the house all
morning waiting for her to come down
stairs. You know she went up right
after breakfast, but hadn't succeeded
in seeing her. SO thought I'd take a
turn in the garden to brace me up,

All measures of reformation are ef.
fective In exact proportion to their
timeliness; partial decay may be cut
away and cleansed; incipient error
corrected; but there is point at
which corruption can no more be
stayed. nor wandering recalled. 1t
has been the manner of modern phil
anthropy to remain passive until that
precise period, and to leave the sick

tions to raise the dead. and reform the

But her quickly bent head and low
