There is no more pathetic figure in the
annals of the French revolution than
that of Pauline de Beaumont, the dying
woman-dying of consumption-whom
Chateaubriand loved for season. When
they were introduced Chateaubriand was
80, broad shouldered, handsome with a
head that was, by universal testimony,
magnificent" His voice was rich and
sympathetic and his smile was irresistible.
From the very first Chateaubriand was
favored beyond all other guests at her
home. She knew, of course, that the man
who was paying suit to her was mar
ried, but Madame de Chateaubriand was
in Brittany; and Brittany was a long way
from Paris; and Chateaubriend had not
seen his wife for 10 years and did not
seem to wish to see her; and Madame de
Beaumont, having fallen under the spell
of 1.-The Enchanter," as they all called
him, doubtless concluded that there were
reasons for this of which he was too
chivalrous to speak. Moreover, she was
spare, and knowing that she had not long
to live she wanted to love and be loved
before she had to die. This was her
chance and she grasped It,
In order to be near Chateaubriand she
stayed in Paris at seasons when 1t was
her general custom to go into the coun-
try; and she was always at home to MN

Searching for Lost Father

Il am writing to you in the interest Of
two daughters of an old friend of mine
now dead. / hope to get some trace of
their father, who seemed to drop out Of
existence more than 26 years ago. His
name is George Cushman, born in Sails
bury, VT, April Is, 1863. He was 36 years
old at the time of his disappearance. He
travelled for a grocery firm. He had two
travelling companions-George Cation and

There is only slight chance that the
publication of this letter will lead to
knowledge of the whereabouts of the
father of the girls for whom our CORE
spondent writes. Nevertheless. l give the
letter just as she has written it. 1t may
be some satisfaction to the family of the
missing man to know that this has been
done. This case is apparently but another
one of the mysterious disappearance
which have never been explained. l take
1t for granted that the matter was put
into the hands of able detectives long
ago, and if their efforts failed to produce
any results there is little chance that our
endeavors will be crowned with any
greater success

ANOTHER COUNTY
FOR MISSISSIPPI
LEGISLATURE to Be Asked to
Create New Division With
Jackson as County Seat

Jackson. Miss, May 19.-(Special.)-An
at the hands of the present legislature
when it meets in regular session in jan
uary, 1914 The proposition to create a
new county with jackson as the capital,
or county town, is an old one but hereto
fore it has been defeated for one reason
and another--the last time because Nc
Laurin was governor, ana as a citizen of
Rankin county he opposed giving slice
of that territory to form the new county,
and informed the promoters or the pil
that was being prepared by members OIL
the legislature he would veto 1t II passed
The idea then was to take the First dis
trict of Kinds county. three townships Off
the lower end of Madison, and eight or
nine townships off the western side CT
Rankin to form the new county This
would have made an almost square new
county with large population, ana was
demanded by a greet majority of the peo-
pie.
There has always been reason ana a
demand for new corpty here, ana there
are just as many, If not more, today than
ever Citizens of Rankn-that is, those
on the western side OF the county, do all
their trading and all their business at
jackson, and they knew that in the event
new county is organized good roads
will be constructed IN every direction
The board of trade will be called on 70
take the matter up ct an early day, a;'o
there are members Of the present board
who were leaders In the old movement
of years ago to create new county
They are of the way of thinking today,
and will use every effort to bring about
results this time. 1t is not believed there
will be any opposition by the time the
legislature assemblies. save, perhaps frora
Brandon, the capital of Rankin county.
