SO, Alone Hearing Alien Tongue, Madame
Dreams of Napoleon and Days of Long Ago

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Dec. 27.
l-Ninety-six years old, alone
iamong her two hundred odd old
companions, hearing always an
fallen tongue she does not under
stand, little, frail old Nine. Jeanne
De Louche is the oldest, saddest
inmate of the Relief home.
Madame-even at the Relief
home where dull-eyed inmates are
called brusquely by their last
names-Mme. De Louche, by the
old women she does not under
stand, is called Madame" 1t is
| the last little touch of respect.
Madame has been at the Relief
home three years. When you ask
her why she came, she shrugs her
little thin shoulders and a look of
pain comes into her dark eyes
the eyes that are still bright.
Il ask--I ask for the work, she
says in her quaint attempt at Eng
lish. II no say l am old. But
never I can get 1t. Life is for the
young. The young they like not
the old about. No, no. So it is
to grow old alone"
But ask about that sunny land
of her youth. Ask her if her 'pere'
fought for Napoleon. She shakes
her head theoretically, while a
great light breaks in her eyes.
l"Grandpere," she exclaims. In the
pathetic hurried French-English
she tells of the ribbon the great
Napoleon gave her Grandpere; she
tells of the stories Of the adored
Little Corporal that she heard at
her grandfather knee when he
had come back manned to the
pleasant wine country after that
cruel Russian winter that was the
beginning of the end.
Saint Helene!" she exclaims.
THAT l see when I come to this
band-ze grand Napoleonl"
Madame cannot sew any more.
She cannot read. She can only sit
and dream among the babble of
foreign tongues. But in her little
room she has a treasure box of
her own-full of pathetic trifles
that tell of the days when she was

loved tongue she never hears.

board serves to throw the air up

Capitalist Declares Forester Pol

Responsible for Evils.
WANTS LANDS DEVELOPED
Urges Upon President Taft Neces-
sity of Opening Coal Measures
to Relieve the Situation.

WASHINGTON. Jan. o.-Former Pres-

the development OF Alaska in a letter TO
President Taft today by f. j. Josyn.
an Alaskan capitalist. to combat the ar
guments presented by Mr.. Pinchot in his
brief asking for the cancellation OF the
so-called Cunningham coal claims.
Mr Joslyn is president of the Tana
Valley Railroad company. and says he
filed his letter not in the interest OF the
Cunningham claimants or any other syn-
dicate. but as an expression OF the peo-
pie OF Alaska regarding the granting of
titles to coal lands. He declares that Mr.
Pinchots sole object In filing his brief
was TO embarrass and do injury to Secre-
tary Bahinger. He says the briet is full
OF mlsstatcments, so much so, In fact
that Mr., Pinchot must be aware OF their
ningham claims are fraudulent
Mr.. Joslyn declares that Mr.. Roosevelt
when president. approved the act Of 1904
relative TO Alaskan coal lands.
Two years later he says Mr.. Pin
chct concluded IT was not good law He
did not apply TO congress To amend or
repeal It. but went directly TO the Imperial
occupant Of the white house and Mr.
Roosevelt on November ~. 1906 issued an
order suspending it He not only sus-
pended 1t as to future application. but
also SuSpcndc0 the fights OF those alreadV
initiated under IT, Was there ever a

II was an act of tyranny and an inva-
sion against the rights of the people OF

continues Mr.. Joslyn. eft Is not the op-
preston of any great and grasping mo-
