Accidents such as the one which took

such an extent that the monarcf1's feat
ures were covered with blood. Every
body was terribly alarmed, and at first
it was feared that the Emperor had lost
his eyesight. But it did not take long for
him TO reassure his companions and to
, satisfy them that the damage was slight.
1t took him infinitely longer to console
the unhappy marshal.
King Charles x of France badly
wounded the Vicomte Sosthene de la
Rochefoucauid while out shooting at
Marty. whereupon the courtIy nobleman
contented himself with making a low
don for thus disturbing his majesty's
pleasure.
Prince Peter BOnapaTte. cousin OF Ma
poleon III and father of that Roland
Ronaparte who is president of the Geo
graphical Society OF France and part
owner of the Monte Carlo gambling es-
tablishment, killed d gamekeeper in
Italy while cunning. Stories conflict
as to the manner in which the man
met his death For while there are
some who claim that the affair was
an accident, the Italian official version,
| resulting in the issue OF a warrant for
the arrest of the prince. was to the effect
that he had killed the gamekeeper to
escape arrest for poaching.
| in another instance. at Marty. it was
a marshal who was the victim and the
sovereign the cause of the accident The
military dignitary IN question was the
/ great Massena Due de Rivoli. who at
an imperial shooting party had one OF
/ his eyes destroyed by no less person
age than the first Napoleon. He had,
! however. the presence of mind to turn
at once upon Field Marshal Berthier.
Prince de Wagran. his comrade and old
friend, and to abuse him with the most
/ bitter invectives for his Grass careless
ness and gross stupidity. Marshal Der
thier took up the cue and accepted all
the blame not even fiinchins when the
/ Emperor himself with an impudence
beyond all conception, began to as
sail him, in the presence Of the entire
party. with whitening reproaches for his
bad shooting. AS soon as he had an OPP
portunity Napoleon expressed in private
his gratitude TO his two marshals for
their devotion and readiness OF resource
in his behalf.
The late Cardinal Prince Frederick
Fuerstenberg, who belonged to the
princeIy and one time sovereign house
Of that name. had the misfortune 20 kill
a man by accident while out shooting.
II was the TanOrsp which he suffered
I from this mishap which caused him to
abandon the military profession for the
! Church, in which, owing to his birth and
/ family connections he was quickly pro-
noted attaining the rank Of Cardinal

laughed. Some of these court decisions
lead to funny conclusions If you follow
them out to a Logical ending. Not so very
long ago a Judge handed down a decision
that a wife had right TO go through her
husbands pockets. Do you remember
I nodded.
Now, put these two decisions together"
she continued, and admit the Westerners
proposition that divorced people retain a
proprietary right in one another. Does that
mean that If "a divorced wife meets her
ex-husband on the street and sweetly and
surreptitiously goes through his pockets
the proprietary right holds good and she
cannot be held for highway robbery"

DEATH FOLLOWS
AGED MANS PUSH
Coroner Believes Benjamin
White, NOHOgenarian, Died
After Quarrel

Coroner Gaynor will hold an inquest this
afternoon at the Layton Home for Aged
Colored People into the death OF Benja-
min White, aged "a years. who died at
that institution yesterday afternoon, fol-
lowing a quarrel. It is said, with Thomas
McCann. aged S5 years, also an inmate OF
the home.
The coroner said he would probably em-
panel a jury OF colored men and would
have DR. s. c.. Elbert. who attended VIII te
before he died, as a witness I'm the case.
nc said that from preliminary invcst-
COTTON he had made he did not think there
wa much in the case. Mccain is almost
blind and did not think he was capable Of
innicting serious injury on anybody.
II was the coroners opinion that Nc
Cam probably pushed White and the lat
ter fell AS no injuries were found by the
physician Il IS thought that the excite
ment attending the alteration between
the men probably caused heart failure in
Whites case and this was as much the
cause of his death as anything else.
McCann is under surveillance at the
home by order Of the coroner. until tho
inquest is held this afternoon.
The two aged men 1T is said did not
get along we'll together and their differ
ences eliminated in wordy war yesterday
which, It is said, ended in McCann giving
White a push. The latter fell ana became
unconscious. Dr. Elbort was summoned
and did what he could for the man but
he did not regain consciousness and died.
The case was reported TO the coroner at 5
O'Clock.
White was at the home for several
years. Ho originally came from Chester.
Pa. Mccain is comparatively a new COM
er there.
AZ the Layton Home no statement
would be made by the matron in charge
until the inquest
No action has been taken by the
police I'm the matter.

got through, it separated the senator

Mr.. McCumber and his secretary
were touring the state in an auto, fix
ing up such political fences as appeared
to be in need OF repair. on this oc-
cason the machine got stuck out on
tho prairie.
The senator and secretary went TO
tho nearest farmhouse and while the
machine was being pried loose dinner
time came. They were invited TO
have dinner and accepted. Dinner
consisted of the menu as stated. lt is
not custom for North Dakota country
folks to take money for a meal and
so the senator handed "a dollar bill TO
the small boy of tho family. The
small boy had no scruples about ac-
cepting it and did so.
Then tho visitors went outside the
house and were contemplating the con-
tinuation Of their Journey when the
farmer pointed out near at hand a
small church which had. he said, jus,
been built The debt incurred rested
heavily on tho shoulders of the meagre

contribution would be thankfully re-
ceived.
