Given Convent Education.
Born at Lyon of parents in comfortable
circumstances, Jeanne FRANCHISE Julie
Adelaide Bernard-the child sensibly re-
jected all these names but the third-was
given the customary convent education.
But the book most constantly consulted
by her was her mirror. Almost in in
fancy her extraordinary beauty was the
subject of general comment. and as adj
miring relatives and friends were not
niggardly of their compliments, the girl
was quite aware of her charm. 1t was
the period just prior to the French revo-
luton. when one of the functions at the
court of Versailles was a ceaseless pro-
cession of the people through the royal
dining room to observe King Louis XVI
and his family at dinner. 1t is re-
lated that Juliette, being then about
eleven or twelve was in this line
when her beauty attracted the at
tention of Queen Marie Antoinette, who
called her to the royal apartments, there
to be compared with the princess royal.

One person who asked for informa
ton said he was anxious about the
situation because his family physician
had ordered draught beer for his sick
wife.

for my wife's condition" the caller ex-
planned. but it is serious proposition
with me-"
He discussed the matter fully with
members OF the board. telling them he
had searched stores yesterday for one
Of the easy seal jars, and was unable
to find one. Saloonkeepers who asked
for information were told that there
was nothing in the order to prevent
them from bottling beer in bottles of
any size and selling them. Some OF
them said they had already arranged
to do such bottling, although they real
lied that the consumers would be un-
able to get the draught beer they
wanted.

Her Girlhood Was Brief.

Her girlhood was brief. When she was
fifteen she married in the most daugh-
terly fashion NJ. de Recamier. a rich
banker. forty-two years old, well edu-
Gated, engaging in manner and kindly in
disposition. Always his demeanor toward
her was rather that Of the father than
the lover. though he provided not merely
for her every want, but humored her ex-
travagances as WELL Their wedding took
place in the midst Of the reign OF terror.
and until that fierce storm had blown
itself out their life was necessarily quiet
and secluded. 1t was no time to attract
attention by evidence OF undue prosper
ity NJ de Recanier, who saw Marie
Antoinette die under the axe, effaced
himself and his child bride as effectual-
ly as might be without abandoning his
business.
But with the return of order and Of
safety they shone forth in luxury and
brilliance unexcelled in all Paris. About
her in this new home gathered the fore
most representatives of French wit and
wisdom. The young chatelaine whom
they thronged to see is thus described by
Nine. Lenormant. a cotemporary: IA
figure flexible and elegant, a well poised
head, throat and shoulders OF admirable
form and proportions. beautiful arms.

In announcing his decision. Judge
Foster said:
1T appears in this indictment, IN

tract from complete article. II is
clearly my opinion that the govern
