The Argus Daily Short Story
Under Curse-By Dorothea Hale.
Copyrighted. 1911 by Associated Literary PressL

New Orleans during the early part
of the nineteenth century was a gay
city Of a foreign type. 1t was a min
iature Paris. The people, mostly of
French extraction, were ready to dance
or fight with equal zest. They were
all high strung and the slightest pro-
vocation was sufficient to send two
men off to a wood on the outskirts of
the city. where they settled the matter
with weapons.
There came at this time from France
an old gentleman, Francois Desoix,
and his daughter Antoinette. Whether
or no, she having been born not long
after the I'll fated queen of France lost
her head, Antoinette'S father, who was
a stanch royalist, gave her the name
1 cannot say. Nevertheless, this story
indicates that there was a maIign in
f1uence hanging over Antoinette De
soix.
1t was generally understood that De-
soix dropped a title on leaving France
those royalists who fed at the time
of the revolution to save their heads.
His wife had died abroad, and his
daughter was his only consolation. She
had been born and lived in the south
Of France, and her nature partook Of
the climate Later she and her father
bad lived in Paris.
In those days certain functions were
in vogue in American cities that have
long ago passed out. Soirees were Civ
en- by the proprietors of hotels and
were attended by the elite. At one Of
these which took place at the st.
Charles hotel Antoinette Desofx, who
was always attended by her venerable
father, was the belle Of the evening.
A trife under the medium height, sien-
der Of figure. a pronounced brunette,
she was rather a petite than q grand

Montreal. Aug. 12-In all the busy
hum of the campaign throughout the
Dominion which is to determine the
makeup Of the next parliament, there
is no buster man than Sir Wilfred
Laurier, the Canadian premier. Upon
the sentiment Of the next parliament
at Ottawa depends the fate of the
reciprocity pact with the United
States and Sir Wilfred is the Canad-
ian champion of reciprocity, just as
President Taft is its champion in the
states.
Right now the premier IS stump
ing through his own province of
Quebec, from which he has promised
a full quota of supporters. He had
announced that he would retire from

man in Louisiana.
No one knew which OF these attend
ants upon Antoinette Desoix was ia
yored by her. The men at least were
ignorant, but the women who observed
her said that Chambers was the favor
ite Nevertheless, at this ball she chose
to bestow her smiles on Antoine Mar
Gel. Chambers, who was very much
In love with her, found it difficult to
confine his expressions of discomfort to
her, showing considerable -antagonism
to his rival. While Marcel was waltz
ing with Antoinette, Chambers, who
was crossing the ballroom, uniAtention-
ally got in the couples way. Marcel,
who took the matter as an affrOnt,
bumped against him. AS soon as the
dance was over Chambers sent Marcel
a challenge.
1t would seem to us in this less quar-
relsome age that a collision in ball
room was q very senseless cause for
two men to try to shoot or stab each
other The episode was not the real
cause; it was rivalry for the favor Of
q woman-a woman who knew well
which OF the men she preferred, but
"Ou1u uOL Akhhc II hpOuh. 4AO tAOA-
BILE having started was destined TO be-
come more complicated.
The Dumping between Marcel and
Chambers occurred early in the even
ing. Mile Desoix was perfectly aware
OF what had taken place and the re-
suits of the humping. 1t happened
that for the next dance she was engag-
ed to Edouard Durier. While sailing
over the floor with him she saw Mar
Gel looking at her. Raising her eyes
to Durier she threw into them one OF
those expressions she could call up at
will, this time indicating alteration.
Marcel chose a partner and. spinning
on the door with her, crossed the path
Of Durier and Mile Desoix, with the
result Of another bump. Durier con-
sidered it an accident, which It really
was, and did not notice 1t.
"M Marcel" said Antofnette, "is
very careless tonight. ] do not see
why, because 1 choose to dance with
you, he should show his spleen In that
way"
do you mean. pademoiselle, that
he got In our way purposeiy"
There was no reply to this, 50 DurieI
acted on the principle that silence
gives consent, and as soon as he had
finished the dance he sent q deenand
for an apology to Marcel. The lattel
was in no mood to apologize to the
man who had so suddenly supplanted
him, so there was another duel on the
tapis-two duels, the pretended cause
Of each being q humping.
Fate decided to complicate matters
still further between the three rivals.
After the last dance Mile. Desoix while
still on the arm Of Durier in passing
Paul Chambers smiled on him He at
once advanced ana asked her for the
next dance.
While Chambers and Antoinette were
gliding over the waxed floor another
bump occurred Whether it was acct
dental or not there is no way OF know
ing, but one thing h certain-it was
not in the program of Mile. Desoix.
Durier and Chambers, both dancing,
collided back TO back. Dur1er turned
and, seeing that another of made
noiseIIe's cavaliers had bumped him,
took It for granted that he, too. IN
tended TO insult him. Thoroughly an.
gered, after the dance he sent q de
mand for an apology eouched in such
terms that 10 true man could apologize

against the government, harms the

have held that labor is free; that
when a man chooses a dangerous oc-
cupation, he assumes the risk-he
does 1t with his eyes open. But II Is
a truism, which must only be stated
to be understood, that the choice OF
the laborers Is entirely illusory; that
they have no choice; that the fiction
which claims to treat them as free
agents is overbalanced by the &C
Qualities Of their conditions, which
makes wage slaves of them all"
Mr.. SABBATH has been promised the
active support of many members OF
congress in getting favorable action
on this bill and in addition, many
outside organizations, especially the
labor unions, are behind him with a
will.

Morocco Is a frazzled place.
An old, back number land
All full Of tribes with bushy hair
That scrap out on the sand
A Job lot Of wild sultans. too,
1t always keeps on hand
Morocco's occupation seems
To be the holy war,
In which the tribesmen stick and stab
Throw fits and howl and roar.
When one is settled they start in
To agitate for more
Morocco has no time for trade
Or any kind of biz.
But all of Europe seeks to grab
The little that there Is,
And ev'ry foreign ruler thinks
That II should all be his
So these are anxious days In France;
In Germany they're tense,
And Ergland's ships are watching Close
For serious events
A mighty fuss, all for a land
That looks like thirty cents.

Some Interesting Discoveries.

| On the same day that Representa-.
tive Mann, the republican leader OF
the house, fumed and fretted in a
speech against what he alleged was
the uselessness of the various inyesti-
cations now being conducted by the
democrats, one of the investigating
committee brought to light the fact
that one George P. McCabe, of whom
nobody had ever heard previously,
had appropriated to himself the sole
! right 10 determine when manufactur-
ers Of adulterated foods should be
prosecuted. The ~uselessness' com
mittee also discovered that this same
McCabe. who is a solicitor in the de-
partment Of agriculture, had so framed
the language Of the law under which
the pure food law is administered that
DR.. H. W. Wiley, the government
chemist would be bound, gagged and
strangied when IL came time for him
to prosecute the food dopers.
And regardless of how many fits
Leader Mann and the other republi-
cans may throw, the democrats in con-
gress are satisfied that these disclo-
sures concerning the high handed
manner in which departmental subor-
dinates override and nulIify the laws
passed by congress are more than suf-
tcient excuse for the Investigations
now being conducted.
General Order No 140'' was issued
last winter, and after it was issued
DR.. Wiley might just as well have
thrown up his hands and quit, as far
as an effective administration of the
pure food law was concerned, because
this order deprived him Of the right ITO
recommend prosecutions of pure food
law violaters." Unless there was
somebody with the interest OF the peo-
pie at heart to recommend such prose
much less started. And that was ex-
actly what the food dopers wanted
McCabe issued General Order No
140" himself. He admitted that much
TO the Wiley investigating committee.
Under that order Dr. Wiley was re
lieved Of all authority, and you your
self became the administrator of the
pure food laws. Isn't that about it?"
asked Attorney Davis, for the commit
tee, when he was examining McCabe.
McCabe admitted that such was the
case.
The discovery Of the manner in
which affairs have been administered
in the agriculture department, especial
ly with reference to the administra-
ton of the pure food law, has thor
oughly angered the democrats in con-
gress, and it is safe to say that when
IL comes time TO frame the next agri-
culture appropriation the democratic
majority of the committee will see
to it that the language of the law is
made sufficiently specific to prevent
more government clerks setting them
selves up as of more importance than
congress itself.
This same McCabe admitted that he
favored benZoate OF soda as a food
preservative, and that he travelled all
over the country, at government ex-
pense. to line up delegates TO vote to
endorse it when the question came up
at the next national food and drugs
congress at Denver last year. Just why
McCabe is so greatly interested in see
ing TO ii that the food dopers may use
what they please in their products, and
then escape all prosecution under the
food law, has not been disclosed by
the investigating committee-yet
