- ONE workmen tearing down a
building in Paris, on reducing
the level of a compartment,
closet or something of the kind
about big enough for one to stand in
upright, came upon q human neau.
There was hair on it. but not much.
Ii was more than a skull, yet not ex-
actly a head. As the men went on low
ering the walls they revealed a female
figure in the clothing of Il man. which
crumbled ms they proceeded downward.
The figure faced an iron door behind
wa~inscoating. A panel was made, or,
rather, had been made, to slide side
ward, and the door behind it opened
inward, leaving sufficient room for the
figure to get into the closet and shut
the door. There was a latch ON the
outside. The panel had originally been
moved by weights and locked with a
secret spring. But both door and panel
had been walled up a long while be-
fore. and their existence had become
unknown.
The master workman sent word OF
the find to the owner Of the building.
asking for instructions as to what to
do in the matter. The owner came, ac-
companied by a gentleman wearing the
button of the Legion of Honor, and the
latter examined both the body and its
incasement carefully. He was a pro
fessional antiquarian. He advised that
the body be buried and began IA search
for the reason of its having occupied
for so long the position in which 1t
was found. In time he published In a
Paris magazine the result of his inves-
LEGATIONS, the following being an alb
breviation Of a long story:
The building In which the body was
found dated back to the reign OF Louis
Nj. In this reign the king increased
his power at the expense Of the no.
bles, and the royal authority became
absolute. His successors maintained
what he had gained, and from that
time down to the beginning Of the
reign of Louis XVI. the government
was one Of tyranny and intrigue.
In the reign Of Louis XIII. plot and
counterpart reached their height. The
king was Il weakling. and Cardinal
Richelieu governed virtually in his
stead. There were conspiracies against
the king. the cardinal and every one
connected with the court. At this time
the building was occupied by the Mar
auis de Fontayne, a nobleman who was
mixed up with these feuds and Joined
a coalition consisting Of the kings
brother and other persons to seize the
government. Mile. Louise de Fon-
tayne, the marquis daughter, was In
love with Rissioli. n Of those favor
ties Catherine de- Medici had brought
with her from Italy.
Now, this Rissioli was as black heart
ed a villain as ever lived. Being i'm

Mail Order Advertisements Are Help

The catalogues of the mail order
houses, beyond their utility in promot-
ing the sale Of merchandise Of the
stores which issue them, are further
valuable in the matter Of stimulating
wants and creating demand for a va
riety Of articles not found ordinarily
in the stocks of local stores.
Merchants striving to get and keep
the home trade Of their towns to

been heard to express very favorable
opinions of the value of such cata-

Ing British war heroes. Such mention
as has been made has been limited to
the statement that he was toe old for
action. There is, however, plenty OF
precedent for England's employment
Of old men in council, and Lord Rob-
erts' new position means that he will
probably serve as adviser to Lord
Kitchener.
Lord Roberts was born in India in
1892, and oil his life has been spent in
military service. His history is prac-
tically a history Of English military
operations in India. He was AT the
siege of Delhi. where he was wound
ed. and was prominent in the relief OF
Lucknow. In the Boer war In South
Africa he was commander in chief, In
which campaign he relieved Kimber-
ley and captured General Cronje. Fol-
this he was thanked by both houses OF
parliament and created first Earl of
Kandahar. Pretoria and Waterford.
Previously he had been made a baron.
To the soldiers Of the British army he
was always known by the term
"Bobs."

CAN A WAR BE so GREAT"

The Cleveland Leader of July 2Sth, in an editorial uuder the abor caption on the possibility of tue armed conflict tbatis now going ou in Europe said that it was 8 con djtiou of affairs that it was almost impossible to realize could come about. But the impossible hns come to Dlss and the dogs of wa are BOW tearing at each others lhroats in a struggle that gives promise Of changing the political as pect Of almost the entire civilized world. It says:
 "TLa very immeusity of the war which would follow armed intervention by Russ;l in the Quar- rel between Austria-Huugary and Seryia makes such 9 conflict seem beyond belief It is almost im- possible @ realize that ten million soldiers, all trained carefully and well equipped, may take the field, with ten million more called to the colors for reserve duty.
 The world has never witnessed such forces iu action. There is nothing iu the long, bloody story of wars and couQuesrs to match the yastness Of the armies which would be set in motion if Austria Hungary, Germany and Italy fought Russia end France, to say nothing of Great Britain and the Balkan states, which could hardy keep out Of the tremendous srrug- gie. There have been times when more Of LLe known globe WAS t.- vcIveI in war, but then numbers were mucl smaller.
 "Amertclus often forget in think. ing of lie rapid growth Of the New World. that European couu- tries have increased SC much in population in the Inst century that they make tho utmost re- sources of the war lords in Napo- icons time seem relatively smal, Then Russian had not more than the present population of France Germany possessed less than hals IS much material for armies as it has today. The United Kingdom has more than doubled in uumer- ieal strength. Even France is nearly twi.a as populous as it was when the reign of terror broke out 1 and the boundaries of the king . 5om began to change.
