From Burgois to Paris my
route led me through the Pyre-
nees, through the famous bathing
resort Biarritz, through Bordeaux
with it's fine harbor and quays,
through Portiers and directly
across the field where the fam
Gus battle was fought, and
through Orleans, well known by
all on account of its heroine, Joan
of Arc, 'The Maid Of Orleans. :"
The ride through France is de-
lightful altogether. 1t is a pleas
ure to be again on a fast train in
a smiling country, not teeming
with beggars.
Paris looks good to me again.
What delightful change a few
weeks have made to the general
appearance of this beautiful city
by bringing out in abundance
the leaves and the flowers. Ire

walked up and down the elegant
grand staircase Of which you
have often read. 1t is the larg-
est theatre in the world, covering
nearly three acres. The site
and the building cost nearly $1O,-
100000. Very little wood was
used in it's construction but there
is hardly a variety of marble or
costly stone that has not been
used.
l made a. charming day excur-
sion to Fontableaux where is the
famous palace of the same name,
Under Frances l, this place was
made one of almost unequalled
extent and magnifcence. In this
palace Louis XIII was born, here
Pope Plus VII was imprisoned
for IS months by Napoleon be-
cause he would not sanction the
divorce; here the sentence of di-
vorce was pronounced against
the Empress of Josephine in
1909. The interior of the palace
is certainly grand magnigcent
rooms, furniture, hangings, pict-
ures, etc. In the apartments of
Marie Antoinette, adorned with
rich silk hangings, is the cradle
of mahogony, -inlaid with gold, in
which Napoleon's son, the king
Of Rome, lay. saw the table
on which Napoleon signed his alb
diction on April 4, 1877. The
forest of Fantainebleaux, AZ, 500
acres, and so miles in circumfer-
ence, is justly regarded as the
finest in France. | spent happy
hours wandering amid it's giant
trees and picturesque rocks.
The other day excursion was
spent at wonderful Versailles, in
some respects the most magnif-
icent place / have seen. Louis
XIV alone spent 500, 900, 600 to
make his country palace unriv-
allied in the world. No fewer
than 80, 600 men and 6,000 horses
are said to have been employed
at one time in forming the ter
races of the garden, levelling
the park, etc. Here from time to
time wealth, grandeur, pomp and
intrigue held sway. Here in 1871
William, king of Prussia, was
pronounced Emperor Of Germany.

NOW EXPECT EXTRA SESSION

Upon Reciprocity Agreement.

Observation-Disclosures of congress
would give much to know whether
they are to be permitted to break
ranks on March 4 or whether they
must linger In Washington for an in
definite period to act upon the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement in extra
session. There Is foundation for the
report that President Taft is viewing
with entire completely the solicitude
OF members OF the senate on the sub.
iect of an extra session.
Several OF the senators who feel
there IL no chance for approval Of the
agreement at the present session,
have found this view is not shared at
the White House.
The president has met all pessimis-
tic predictions with the suggestion that
he Is willing to trust the agreement
to n vote. He has never said, for
publication. that he would call an ex-
ira session II such a vote Is denied,
but senator's have failed to obtain as
snrances that he would not do so.

TAFT APPEALS TO FARMERS
Chief Executive Says Impression That
Canadian Agreement Would In
lure Farmer is Not Correct

Columbus, O.-Carrying forward his
campaign for Canadian reciprocity,
President Taft on Friday made a d.
rect appeal to the American farmer
on that issue. He declared that the
impression that reciprocity with the
Dominion would %injure the farmer
was without foundation, and by sta
~tistics he sought to lend actual proof
to his assertions.
Mr.. Taft declared without reserva-
ton that the reciprocal agreement
with Canada would be a benefit rather
than a detriment to the agricultural
interests of this country.
AS for himself, the President said
that he felt that the undoubted gen.
|eral benefit of the pending agreement
would entirely vindicate those who
are responsible for it. The greatest
reason for the adoption of the agree
ment, he argued, Is the fact that it
will unite two countries with kindred
people, and lying together across a
wide continent, In a commercial and
social union to the great advantage
of both.
