BOGUS NOBLEMAN
UND0NE' BY GA S
They Also Bring Discovery Of
Mrs. Paine's Worthless
Paintings.
BY J. NJ. II. D,AauIN.

Especial Cable to Tho Times Dispstch.J
Paris, April 3o.--Two beautiful blue
eyed Persian cats wcre the innocent
cause of unmasking a bogus nobleman
showing up a lot OF bogus pictures
disclosing love letters illustrated with
hearts. and bringing out the news that
a wealthy Boston widow will wed tho
Due dc Choiseul
The cats are the property of Mrs
Charles Hamilton Paine. They became
infested with vulgar fleas. to the
horror of their fadoring mistress. The
due told her of famous flea-killer
named Durand: no responded to call
from the Paine mansion and promptly
slaughtered the fleas. In his desire to
thoroughly perform his task the flea
| killer used certain acids, which de-
| stroyed several valuable pictures,
Mrs. Paine decided to sue tho flea
| killer for damages. In order to fix
| upon the amount her lawyer, Maitre
! Plumen. advised calling in an expert,
who decided that tho DAMAGES We're
practically nil because You canno;
| damage worthless pictures" This was
| the first intimation Mrs. Paine ha6
| received that her pictures were worth
less. and, of course. she did not be-
lieve it.
But troubles never come singly. The
son of a London tailor, D'Aulby, the
bogus prince who married that forme,
belle of Boston. Miss Hunt, hearing OF
Mrs. Paine's prospective engagement
to the Due de Choiseul, hints at l,av.
ing letters from her in his possession
filled with tender condolences, but con-
siderinE the fact that she has sued
him for selling her formerly lot of
bogus pictures no one puts the slight
est belief in anything such man
may say.
1t seems tho cats are a gift from
the due. who is very assiduous in his
attentions to the charming widow.

some of the work quite badly. Those
in charge did not like this at all, but
were powerlesA to remedy matters.
Next year some special provision
should be made to keep the exhibits
dry while at the fair. The local teach
ers and patrons should see that there
is a greater interest taken in the edu-
cational exhibit locally and enter more
work in this department next year.
The reduction of the prize money by
the fair management caused con-
siderable falling off in the number of
exhibits entered But for next year
let all cooperate to have first rate
educational exhibit regardless OF the
prizes offered. The drill and knoWl-
edge obtained while preparing work
will pay far better than a dollar or

Chrysanthemums stand fourth in
commercial importance among flow
ers. Only the rose, the violet and the
carnation surpass them. and that
chiefly because the chrysanthemum
season is so short, while the others

name. Chrysanthemum means gold

referred to the prevailing gold in the
