Romance of Old Portugal

The recent deposition of King Manuel Of
Portugal and the events in the young kings
life that led up to it will no doubt bring back
to the minds of some of the older residents
of the city the story of Elise Hensier the
Springfield girl who married king and be-
came the Countess Edla.
The king she married was Don Ferdinand
II. of Portugal a great grandfather of King
Manuel. Elise lived in Springfield about 60
years ago, probably for about four yearB.
The Henslers were humble people and
lived simply. The daughters, Elise and Louise.
were we'll received here and were given a
good musical education, especially Elise, who
had quite a remarkable voice. Signor Guidi,
an Italian, at the time well known teacher
of the voice, took an interest in Elise and it
was when Signor Guidi went to Boston that
the Hensiers went there largely through his
influence. He believed that Elise had flu
ture as a singer and wished her to be where
he could continue teaching her.
Elise Hensler after her removal with her
family to Boston continued her studies. She
was perseverant in her work and progressed SO
well that she not only appeared in concerts in
the large cities in this country, but also in Eu-
rope, where she sang before royalty. 1t was
while singing in Lisbon several years after the
death Of Queen Maria that King Ferdinand
heard her voice and felt the attraction that
led him to marry her.
Ferdinand was the titular king of Portugal,
having been the second husband of Queen
Maria II. of Portugal. Ferdinand married
Maria in 1886, when he was 20. The queen
died in 1853 and he regent during the mi
nority of his son, Pedro ". who the ia
Their of the assassnated King Carlos, the
grandfather of the deposed King Manuel. The
regency ended in 1856, and on June 10, 1869,
he married Miss Hensler.
When the European powers decided the
time had come to restore Spain to a monarchy
following the overthrow of the short republic
which existed from 1873 to 1875, considerable
pressure was brought to bear upon Ferdinand
to induce him to accept the vacant throne
But his wife could never be queen of Span
and it is possible that this fact alone induced
him to refuse.
This absolute refusal on his part to accept
the throne of Spain, with all the pomp and
splendor of royalty in exchange for the roman
tic life that he was living with his morganatio
wife, had far-reaching consequences. The COM
plications and jealousies resultant on the at
tempt to find king acceptable to all the pow
ers helped to bring on the FrancoPrussian
war, and Alsace and Lorraine went back to
Germany whence they had been wrested by
Napoleon Bonaparte.
In consequence of these peculiar historical
facts, which geographically practically changed
all western Europe, Elise Hensler, Countess
Edla became famous throughout the world as
"the woman who changed the map of Europe"
During the life of the king they lived in the
beautiful castle Of Cintra. 1t is certain that
their life was above reproach. In 1885 the
king died, and after that the countess lived in
retirement in a cottage near the castle

ness or Intestinal gripping. This will
all go, and besides, there will be no
undigested food left over in the stom-
ach to poison your breath with nause-
Gus odors.

out-of-order stomachs, because it pre-
vents fermentation and takes hold of
your food and digests 1t just the same

''No Openings Nowheres"

She is fortunate in having girl chums who
draw roses from their friends now and then.
The other afternoon one of her rosy friends
pinned a bright red one on her and she sal
lied forth into the street to make other wom-
en- envious. She had not gone far when she
felt tug at the shoulder and turned to see a
strange woman.
"Where'd you git that rose?" asked the
stranger covetously.

In the British museum, in London, on exhi-
bition is the Portland vase. the masterpiece
of ancient glasswork A chance discovery led
to the rescue Of this magnificent urn from the
grave, where it had lain for hundreds of years,
hidden and unknown. The vase was found
early in the seventeenth century by some Ia
borers who, digging hillock in the neigh
borhood Of Rome, broke into small vault.
On further examination it revealed suite
of three sepulchral chambers In the largest
room they found finely sculptured sarcopha-

to the remains it held nor has the mystery

princess, was forced to part with it to pay her
gambling debts. The vase changed hands
twice, then it was disposed of to the duchess of
Portland but with such secrecy that her own
family was not aware of the transaction until
after her death.
At the sale of the duchess of Portland's col
lection it was purchased by her son, the third
duke of Portland for the sum Of $5,145, and 1t
was deposited in the museum by his successor

Note From Rosewood RuaIe.

Somebody took the rope off the bell
in the fire engine house to use for a
clothesline, and now, when there is a
fire, the constable has to climb up
into the tower and ring the bell with
a hammer. Somebody took the ham,
mer the other day, and, when Hank
Purdy's corncrib ketched fire, the con-
stable had to hurry down to Hill
ker's store for to borry a hammer.
Hilliker had lent his hammer to Dea-
con Renfrew, who lives four miles out
in the country, and by the time the
constable had got there and hunted
around in the barn for the hammer
and got back to the engine house, the
angry elements had done their worst
and Hanks corncrib was mass of
smoldering ruins.-Judge's Library.

Carl Schurz was dining one night
with a man who had written a book
of poems, SO called, and who was
pleased with himself.
The poet was discoursing on the
time-worn topic of politics of the men
who take Office.
II consider politics and politicians
beneath my notice." he said. II do
not care for office. Wouldn't be a
senator or cabinet officer, and l doubt
if 1 could be tempted by the offer of
the presidency. For the matter of
that, I would rather be known as a
third-rate poet than first-rate states

ferred to manila cards, by the punching of
holes in them to correspond with the different
items in the schedules An electrical machine
controlled by clerk can punch holes in 5000
cards day. Three hundred of these were
used and 90000000 cards were ordered.
After the punching the cards are handled
into an electric tabulating machine with
"pin-box" attachment which permits the re-
CURED pins to pass through the variously
placed holes in the cards, in this establishing
an electric circuit resulting in the tabulation
of the items on counters which register their
results in printing spoiled paper somewhat
like a stock ticker" There are 100 of these
machines. After certain comparisons to prove
accuracy, the schedules permanently pre-
served in a great iron safe in the census bu-
reau. AS the card does not contain the name
of the persons for whom 1t stands all personal
identity is eliminated from the cards. All dan
ger Of misuse of such information disappears.
Severe penalties are provided in case any
ployee discloses census information to outsid-
ers. The next step is the making of the maps
and tables to accompany the analyses, and
then, finally, the issue Of the printed bulletins
and reports. Before July 1, 1912, the work
must be over and the thirteenth census gone
to join it's scientific ancestors.

Mixing His Dates.

There is a story of man who was
so transported with joy as he stood
up at the altar rail to be married,
that his thoughts reverted to a day
when he stood UP at the prisoners
bar in a court of justice to plead
guilty or mot guilty to criminal
charge. So powerfully did that, the
most painful event of his life, obtrude
itself upon his mind, that when the
clergyman put the question, "Wilt
thou have this woman to be thy
welded wife?" and so on, the poor
distracted bridegroom answered with
startling distinctness, mot guilty, so
help me God!"-From Tuckerman's
personal Recollections."

100000 If that is all the expense, it is
cheap. The late Gen. Francis A. Walker,
who was census authority greater than
any other, living or dead, once wrote that
1.-THE peopIe\of the United States can we'll
afford to pay for the very best census
they can get" He penned this remark
In connection with a frank confession of
his own shortsightedness in underesti-
mating the cost of the tenth census
It's the old story: When you are Ill
get the best doctor you can afford.
The comparative cneapness with which
the thirteenth census has been taken was
largely due to Director e. Dana Durand's eco
nomical methods, to the introduction of semiau-
tomato electrical card-punching, tabulating
and sorting machines, and to the inheritance
of wisdom from the experience gained by the
permanent census bureau. During the term of
the latter the methods Of inquiry, tabulation and
compilation have been greatly improved both
in accuracy and in economy. Millions will be
saved.
Mr.. Durand is responsible for many of the
new methods to increase statistical accuracy
at every step of the census taking and to de-
crease the per capita cost of the enumeration.
The cardpunching, tabulating, and sorting
chinery is the invention of census mechani-
cal expert and the patent rights belong to Uncle
Sam. The machines are novel in plan and de-
sign are of greater speed and efficiency than
those they superseded, and can be built and
operated at large saving of money as COM
pared with previous expenditures for this pur-
pose.
Other money-saving features are the elimi-
nation of the vitaIstatistics inquiry from the
work of the decennial census, as it belongs to
the permanent branch of the United States
census; the reduction in the number of SEIZED
ules, the piece-price method of paying for
~ 0f
hold and neighborhood industries from the
manufactures branch of the census and the
reduction of the size and number of copies of
the final report.
Congress limited the thirteenth census to
four general subjects-population, agriculture,
manufactures and mines and quarries. The di-
rector is authorized to determine the form and
subdivision of inquiries. The inquiry to
population relates to the date April Is, 1910;
that as to agriculture concerns the farm opera
tions during 1909 and calls for an inventory of
farm equipment April Is, 1910; that relative to
manufactures and quarries is for 1909.
The enumeration carried only the popula-
ton and agriculture schedules April Is, 1910.
Special agents were sent out with the SEIZED
ules for the manufactures, mines and quarries
data There were fully $4,000 enumerators, of
whom about $4,000 carried both the population
and agriculture schedules, as it is estimated
that there are now fully 100000 separate
farms In America, with farmers numbering
well up into score of millions In 1910 there
were many more billions of dollars of fixed
capital invested in agriculture than there were
in manufactures strange as it may SEEM And
the farmer is getting better off all the time;
