Reflections of q Bachelor.

Politics costs those in it more
self-respect than money.
The man who doesn't work just
for money mighty seldom does any
work.
What a girl means when she says
no depends on the man to whom she
says it,
What a woman likes in man she
is never able to discover in him af-
ter they are married.
When one woman speaks of anoth-
er's clothes as rags it's sign they
claim to be good friends.
A bad temper gets heap of things
to pacify it that good temper keeps
on praying for in vain.
Anybody who had a million dol
lars could pretend it was twenty-five
cents when his poor relatives were
around.
A girl never really has to wait for
leap year to ask a man, because any
wear she knows how to ask him to
ask her.

HOW LOUIS NAPOLEON ESCAPED.
In the Disguise of Workman He
Passed the Guard.

In discussing the origin of Louis
Napoleon's nickname of 'Badinguet'
some details were given incidentally
of his escape from the fortress of
Ham, in northern France, on May 25,
1916. Fuller details are now avail
able, thanks to the researches of NJ.
Thirria, and in view of the escape of
Captain Lux they have a special in
terest at the present moment.
1t seems that the sole credit for
the escape must lie with Louis Ma
poleon himself. He made his valet,
Thelin, buy a black wig, some rouge,
a cap which was scrubbed with pum-
ice stone and a pair of sabots. Then
he cut off his mustache, put on a blue
apron, a blue pair of trousers and a
close fitting shirt of coarse stuff.
Some workmen were carrying out
some repairs to that part of the fort
ress where the prince lodged and this
gave color to his disguise, so much
so that the two watchmen entertain
ed no suspicious regarding the man
who walked past them and out at the
great gate, a pipe in his mouth and q
plank on his shoulder. The sergeant
on duty at the drawbridge was read
ing a letter as he passed and took no
notice of him. It was then 5 o'clock
in the morning.
Four times that day, the last time
at 5 in the afternoon, did the govern
or, Demarle, send for the prince.
Each time DR.. Conneau replied that
the prisoner could not see anybody
because he had taken medicine. When
at last the governor lost patience and
went himself to the princes room
and walked up to the bed on which
the supposed invalid was lying he
discovered that a very presentable
dummy had taken the place of Louis
Napoleon. The discovery was made
too late. BY that time the fugitive
was over the Belgian frontier.-From

LIFE AMONG ROME'S POOR.
Great Crowding, Bad Hygienic Con-
ditions and Scarcity of Food.

The problem of life among the
poor of Rome has been illustrated by
Prof. Domencio Orano, who recently
wrote book dealing with the miser-
able condition of the inhabitants of
the Testaccio quarter, which is the
most densely populated district of
Rome
Out of the 10000 inhabitants of
this quarter, scattered in eighty-two
tenement houses, there are 1913 fam
lilies who cannot afford to rent apart
ments, but are forced to sublet
enough space in rooms where they
can sleep. There are 513 single
room apartments in the quarter and
100 rooms are occupied by five per-
sons each, seventy-six by six, twenty
five by eight, while the rest afford
shelter to from ten to fifteen people.
The rent for sleeping space in each
room varies from 81 to SIS month.
The hygienic conditions of the ten
ement houses in Testaccio are very
bad. AS a rule the poor people of
Rome live on vegetable soup with
paste and bread as they cannot afford
to eat either meat or fish, but in or
der to make up for their scanty diet
they drink wine freely. There are
thirty-eight wine shops in the quar-
ter against only three shops where
milk is sold, and the average daily
consumption of wine is over 3,17O
gallons for 10000 people, including
women and children. There are many
men who drink habitually from six
to seven quarts of wine every day.
Morality is at a low state, mainly
owing to the fact that entire families
composed of young men and women
as we'll as children sleep in one room
without any partitions between the
beds, and very often instead of beds
sacking and mattresses are placed on
the floor, which is thus converted in
ton one bed for six, ten or even fif-
teen persons, who sleep side by side
Prof, Orano ascertained that fully
two-thirds of the wages earned by
the poor inhabitants of Testaccio are
spent in food and drink, while the
remaining third serves for house rent
and clothes.

State Treasurer to Reply.

Columbia, Feb. 2.-Robert H. Jen-
rings, State treasurer of South Car
clina, will be given hearing by the
general assembly of his State in re-
gard to the charges advanced by
Gov. Blease as to the State loan on
$4,000 last summer. The house this
morning adopted the senate concur
rent resolution allowing the State
treasurer to make written communl-
cation to the general assembly giving
his side of the case.
Mr.. Jennings, who lost his LETT
arm in the service of the Confeder-
acy and has served his State as treas
urer for the last eight years, resents
the insinuation of the governor IN
a message to the general assembly
about the State loan. The resolution
which has passed both houses allows
him to print his side of the case IN
the journals.
The statement of the State treas
urer will probably be sent to the gen.
eral assembly to-day.
There was a strenuous opposition
to the adoption of the resolution on
the part of the governors friends in
the house on the grounds that it &C
cused the governor of telling a false
hood, but the house refused to recon
slider it's action on adopting the reso-
lution.
Several days ago the governor, in
a message to the general assembly,
challenged a statement by Mr.. Jen-
nings as to the loan. The real facts
in connection with the incident will
now be related.
The resolution authorizes the
statement of the State treasurer to
be printed in the journals.

Thursday, Feb. 8, 1912.

We can't understand why the
legislature should want to waste
S13,500 of the money of the tax
payers for plans for improvement of
the state house when they know there
is no probability of the money for
these improvements being raised
Few members of the general assem-
bly, would have the nerve to vote for
such an appropriation.

The Light, negro newspaper ed
tied and published in Columbia by
negroes, says: I'VE are glad to note
that Gov. Blease agrees with our po-
sition as to the tax fertilizer money,
that part of it should 60 TO the negro
schools, since negroes use the greater
part of the fertilizer. So Gov.
Blease wants to let the negroes have
part of the Clemson fund. This will
be news to many of his friends

"THE WAGES OF SIN"
Sad Realization, But Too Late, of
Victim of Suicide Pact.

New York, Feb. 5.-Death, which
brought to a sordid end the romance
of Louise Lawrence Suydam, the mil
lionaire's wife, and Fred Noble, the
plumbers son, flung back it's chap
ters of mystery to-day, leaving a
chapter in which friends of the wo-
man profess to read another lesson
in morals. The lesson. was drawn
from a declaration made by Mrs.
Suydam-Noble to friend a few days
ago.
my friend" so Mrs. Suydam-No-
BILE is quoted, "you and and Fred
may laugh sometimes at old things
like law and moral codes and religion
when they say thou shalt not We
may think that phrase was written
for the weak spirited and for fogies.
Law and moral codec and religion
are right. What they say we cannot
do without suffering. I have learned
that. l have learned my lesson. l
know the wages of sin is death-and
in many cases those wages demand
more than death-hell on earth.
That the young couple mil
lionaire's wife and the plumbers
son-learned their moral lesson and
entered into the suicide pact a few
DAYS after their romantic marriage,
is the general belief expressed to-
day. Close friends of Mrs. Suydam-
Noble claim she was never happy
with her new husband and that young
Noble wearied of it and surrendered
to encouragement.
Yesterday they were found in their
comparatively humble apartment in
West 18th street, lying in front OF a
gas range, dead from asphyxlatlon.
They had left no farewell note. Mrs.
Suydam knew, so her friends believe,
that no final message was necessary.
The romance-the beginning OF
which was never really known-flrst
came to notice five months ago, when
Mrs. Suydam fed from her husband s
palatial home, in Blue Point, L. L.,
with young Noble. There followed
a chapter of fearful entreaties from
the husband that his wife return. She
ignored him, declaring she had found
happiness in the humble apartment
of a workman. Next came divorce
proceedings, and when she had been
freed by the millionaire's legal inl-
tiative, Mrs. Suydam was welded to
the plumber.
Friends say Mrs. Suydam never
loved the youth she took for second
husband, while Noble felt her car
dinal affection remained for Suy:
dam. 1t is believed the suicide pac'
was entered into a few days after
the marriage.
While Suydam secured a divorce
it is claimed he did not abandon hope
that there might be reconciliation
He was among the first to reach the
Noble apartment yesterday after the
hodiae uere found
