An Experience the Composer Had In
Country Inn.
On one occasion Rousseau composed
an opera, which was performed be-
fore King Louis XIV and met with
the royal approval The king sent for
him. and if he hid put in an appear
ance he would probably have obtained
pension He was. however, OF re-
firing disposition and could not bring
himself to face the court. To his
friends he gave as Il reason his repub-
ican opinions, but his real reason was
his shyness.
. Accordingly he fled from the court
and sought the privacy Of country
inn. While he was there a man came
In who began telling the company
that he was the celebrated Rousseau
and proceeded to give an account Of
the opera, which, he said. had been
performed before the king with great
success.
Most men in Rousseau's position
would have felt nothing but contempt
for tho impostor but this extraordina-
ry man felt only pity and shame. 81
trembled and blushed So" he tells us
In his Confessions" "for fear the
man should be found out that it
might have been thought that | was
the impostor." He was afraid that
somebody might come in who knew
him and expose the pretender. At last
he could bear it no longer and slipped
out unobserved.
Very few people would treat an
impostor like that Westminster Ca
Zette.

The Scented Court.

The rage for perfumes reached its
height during the reign of Louis XIV.
Throughout the continent his court
was known as the scented court" 1t
was then the custom when giving
large entertainment for the hostess to
inform her guests what particular odor
she would use for perfuming her
rooms. and each guest would use that
odor in making her toilet. At court a
different perfume was used for each
day of the week. Much more attention
was paid to the use of the perfume
than TO soap and water, and cleanli'
ness was not numbered among the vir-
tues of that age.

NEWSIES PUT
BAN ON CIGARETTES

The tiny bit of newsboys must go
in Portland, together with the boy
who smokes cigarettes or tolerates
dirty hands says the Portland Jour
nal. The Newsboy's association has
handed down the edict, and 15O news
boys are to see that the new rules
are enforced.
Boys in knickerbockers have been
selling papers on the streets of Port
land with a persistence that has an
noyed customers greatly. Several lads
between five and six years of age
work in the busy streets and about
the theaters. Some of them are said
to stay down town until II o'clock at
night These abuses are to be elimi-
mated.
Patterning after the Boston School
Newsboys' association, the local or
ganlzation is adopting stringent regu-
lations against smoking, gambling, go
ing with unclean appearance and
playing hooky." No boy under 10
years of age may sell papers on the
streets, and every boy must go to
school regularly A few of the rules
are:
Every boy must
Be good in conduct.
Be clean in his appearance.
Be over 10 years of age.
Attend school regularly.
Wear his badge in plain sight.
Not sell after s p. m.
Not sell during school hours,
There are 200 newsboys in Port
land and fully so of the number will
come under the ban of the new regu-
lations. other boys are ready to do
the work, so the public will not ex-
perience any Inconvenience The
change in system is to be made dur
ing the present month, but it will be
brought about gradually.

FOOL RULING MADE
ON OIL LOCATIONS
Practically ProhIbitlve Are the Laws
Governing important In
dustry.

Another example OF the absurdity
OF our present laws for the location
OF mineral land, and tho necessity for
a revision thereof. is afforded by a
recent decision of the general land
Office with respect TO the patenting of
land In oil fields. The land office
has decided that such land cannot be
patented unless discovery has pre-
ceded location Under this ruling IL
is not lawful to locate claims unless
oil seeps from the ground. or unless
drilling has discovered oil In advance
OF the Cling OF any papers. Both of
these conditions are practically pro-
hlbltiyc. In oil fields the cases where
seepage of oil or the bituminous resi-.
dunn arc manifest on the surface
posed to risk his money In drilling
upon public land to which he has no
title whatever.
This ruling has. OF course. aroused
a storm OF protest among tho oil men
In California. Tho condition existing
In that state Is quite different from
what has prevailed In most OF the
other oil.producing states. In Call
fornia the oil discoveries have been
TO large extent made on public lands
considered TO he open for general en-
try. In Louisiana. Texas, Oklahoma
and other states the oil discoveries
have generally been made upon lands
that had previously passed into prI-
