that hello is unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman, and he is going to
cut 1t out.
It is announced that Prince de la
Tour d Auvergne, of France, is a suitor
for the hand of Miss Martha Bacon,
daughter of the American ambassador
to the French Republic. 1t is also ans
nounced that his family is not; that is,
it does not want him to propose mar
riage to Miss Bacon until he finds how
much of a dot the Bacons will give
with the young lady. And there the
matter rests. The Prince is descended
from the soldier whom Napoleon called
the First Grenadier of France" be-
cause he would not accept the title of
General" He was killed leading his
grenadiers in Bavaria in 1900. So great
was the admiration of him that his
company for four years kept him on
the roll, and when his name was called
the Color Sergeant would call Dead on
the field CT honor" In passing it may
be said that Miss Bacon's family, which
is of New England descent, has ances-
trai patriotic distinction antedating
that Of the Auvergnes.

If you can get a really good story.
the proper caper Is to pin 1t on Uncle
Joe Cannon, late Speaker of the House
of Representatives. but mind you, 1t
must be real good story or he won't
father it. One that is going the
rounds, with the late Speaker as its
subject is really quite worthy of him
The other day a woman whose youth
is SO long in the past that she could
right easily be termed a veteran of
the Mexican War, and whose face at
best was a long ways off from being
handsome, tackled Uncle Joe on the
suffrage question. At that particular
moment he was very busily engaged in
conversation with a member Nof the
House who is responsible for the story.
The lady veteran said, breaking into
the conversations: Mr. Cannon, do
favor the enfranchisement OF women p"
Uncle Joe turned and looked at her
and then automatically replied:
Madam, il i psre a younger man and
were to meet such Il handsome woman
as yourself. I would seek to enthraIl
her and not to enfranchise her"

This began its first noticeable
ravages about five years ago in
Long Island and New York City.
There are now standing In Brook
lyn more than 16. 900 dead chestnut
trees and the malady is travelling
fast over the island. In New York
City there are very few live chest
nut trees left. and Connecticut, New
Jersey. Pennsylvania, Maryland
and TO less extent even Massachu-
sets, have suffered from the inva-
sion OF this deadly fungus. In this
instance it is not an insect that
causes the trouble. but a disease
that appears TO be confined to this
particula species. Science seems
helpless before its ravages. The
spores from the canker are formed
in the fall and disseminated in the
spring by billions; wherever there
is a crank in the barb they find logd.
