Emperor of Sahara Now Lives

New York.-Jacques Lebaudy, first
emperor Of the Sahara, idler OF the
Paris boulevards and one time lover
Of the spectacular, has found New
York place where he can indulge in
many of the eccentricities which
made him notorious in France and
elsewhere. AS an asylum for rejected
and detected monarchs, he prefers it
to England.

trust company was to dispose of for
him.
The suit brought by Jacques Pre-
mier, as he used to sign himself on
hotel registers, is really an echo OF
his Saharan expedition. It was in
1906 that Lebaudy, forced to aban-
don his scheme of empire In the
desert owing to the refusal of the
powers to recognize his claims, de-
termined to seek an asylum in the
United States. Because of the treat
ment of some of his men France had
become uncomfortable for him. In
September, 1908, he issued procla-
nation offering his French property
for sale, signed by his imperial hand
which was sent to leading bankers
abroad and which was the forerunner
of his present suit.
1t was after this proclamation that

HOW A CABBAGE MAN
MISSED BIG OPPORTUNITY
Crop Offered Him After a Cold Snap
for 500, Has Already Brought
$1,000 and More to Come.

"Of all sad wards of tongue or
pen, the saddest are these, it might
have been," said the poet, and also
says a farmer living near San Benito.
After the frosts of last winter, this
farmer had the opportunity Of buy
ing twelve acres of cabbage from a
neighbor for the sum of S100. Fig
uring that the cabbage crop was
going to be a failure, the farmer re-
fused.
Later, when the mistaken cabbage
grower saw a brighter future, he
went to his neighbor and offered to
take the twelve acres of his hands
at the price mentioned, but the
neighbor had also experienced a
change Of heart and refused to sell.
From the twelve acres $1,000 worth
Of cabbage have been sold to date,
and if cars can be obtained $4,000
n.ore are expected from this same
