a GREAT OCCASION.

n 0hGAl oSSN0lSNs
When in keokuk recently attending
the celebration of the completion Of
the great water power Development
here Governor George w. Clarke was
the guest Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. e. Mat
less. Shortly after his return home
he wrote Mr.. Matless thanking the
latter for the kindnesses and court
estes shown him and assuring his host
that I'VE shall ever remember this visit
to Keokuk as one OF the most enjoy
able experiences in our lives" The
governor was profoundly impressed
with the greatness OF the occasion in
which he was a participant here. Aft
er expressing his appreciation Of thu
favors shown him, he goes on to say
in his letter to Mr.. Matless:
Il should like to add another
word. While was there was
profoundly impressed with the
greatness OF the occasion. 1t was
a great day for the city of Keo-
kuk. 1t was a great day for the
Mississippi valley, indeed a great
day for the world, because 1t cele-
brated an achievement unequalled
by anything else of its kind ever
known among men. The great
things that men do excite the
admiration of mankind through
all the centuries that follow, and
here in this great work is an
achievement that will, believe,
compel the wonder and praise Of
the far-distant centuries. AS the
world moves on recording the sur
prising triumphs OF human genius
this achievement may be surpass-
ed, but for its day and time 1t
must ever be regarded as mark
ing the farthest point reached in
its peculiar line of human en-
deavor. I think, therefore, as
suggested while at your home,
that full and complete history
Of the days of the celebration
ought to be carefully written by
some one of your citizens and
preserved in the annals of the
city of Keokuk Indeed full
history of the whole great enter
prise from the day men began
dreaming and having visions of 1t

interest fifty or one hundred

kuk. have often thought that
not enough attention is given to
local history-not even as to the
ordinary affairs of men. What
men are doing, how they are hv-
ing their lives as the years go by
are the things that in the time
to come are going to enable us
to be understood, are going to
enable the future to understand
just how 1t came about that 1t is
what it may prove to be.
IT find l have fallen upon a
very suggestive and interesting
theme and it is tempting to pur-
sue 1t, but l will not 1t Is too
much for letter. Will only say
that the suggestion just now In
my mind Is that what the future
may be depends upon US, and that
it is impossible for any man to
live to himself alone. The sug-
gestion I began with and the
only one intended to make was
that 1t seemed to me 1t would be
a fine thing II Keokuk would see

WHEN CRITICS DISAGREED.

Professor Lounsbury tells a good
story which seems to show that, in
the matter of poetry, critics hold di-
verse opinions, and that one mans
opinion is as good as another's. Ac-
cording to the professor, Aubrey De
We're, the Irish poet, collected on the
same day the opinion of three of his
brother poets on the poetical stand
ing of Burns.
One of these poets, who was Ten
nyson, said Burns songs were per-
feet, but that one had to forget his
serious pieces to enjoy them. The
second, who vas Wordsworth, said
that Burns Serious efforts" showed
great genius, but that his foolish lit
tie amatory poems were worthy only
of oblivion. The third was Sir Henry
Taylor, who said that he found
Burns songs and his serious poems
alike tedious and disagreeable.-At-
lantic Monthly.

REFUSED TO SEE THE TRUTH
Early Naturaiists R~esolutely Sci
Themselves Against All Discus-
sion Of Fossils.

Arthur Holmes, author of "The
Age of the Earth" has declared that
fossils, now considered SO helpful to
those who speculate upon the time
problem of the earth, were "once re-
garded with suspicion and jealousy,
and most Of the early n%aturalists
resolutely set themselves against the
obvious deduction to be drawn from
them" About 800 B. c., Theo-
phrastus had failed to see in them
the evidence of past life, and accord
ing to this philosopher a "plastic vir-
tue latent in the earth" was sup
posed in some mysterious way to
have given them birth. The process
was occasionally explained as being
akin to crystallization. There were
even those who thought that fossils
were "the work of the devil, subtly
designed to draw believers away from
the faith"

ENDING IN STABLES SHELTER
Once Famous Belle Of Empress Eu.
genie's Court Dependent on Char
ity for Her Subsistence.

Again the suggestive term OF
"Mme. X" has been applied to the
heroine in a life romance-this time
through no fear of libel, but out OF
charity, for the papers which sympa-
thetically publish her story are also
collecting funds for her relief, ac-
cording to a Paris letter.
This Mime. x" who was once a
prominent belle of the second en-
pire, was discovered recently living
in a stable in Passy, her sole support
being a few gold pieces occasionally
doled out to her by a couple of her
former aristocratic friends. "Mme.
X" was once a courted belle of the
Empress Eugenie's court. She had
no money, but a few fealthy relatives
paid her expenses as long as there
was a prospect that her beauty might
win her a wealthy protector. As she
had no "dot," a husband was out of
the question. But "Mme. X" pre-
ferred to remain respectable. Ulti-
mately she became an old maid and
was left to shift for herself.
In her stable in Passy, which she
is allowed to occupy by a good ma
tured teamster, whose father was one
of her servants in the old days, she
dresses in the now faded and cracked
silks and satins of 60 years ago, and
turns over the leaves of a yellow
scrapbook which contains the record
of her social triumphs, when her
dance partners were the then young
Comte de Gallifet and Prince Mu-
rat, son of the king of Naples, and
her boon companions the Duchesse
and Mdle. de Rohan, the Duchesse
and Mdle. de Grammont, the Prin-
cess and Mdle. de Beauvan and a
host Of other ladies famed in the st.
German clique of their day.
