"Constantinople was settling down
again after Its excitement, and / was
beginning to believe that nothing more
would happen, when the news of the
catastrophe arrived. About midday a
steam launch left the Dolmabacheh
palace, and came down the Bosphorus,
stopping at the residences OF the am
bassadors, and bearing Suleiman Bey,

THE ambassador and | were, of
course, overwhelmed by the announce

Bey was speaking my chief glanced
at me, and read in his eyes the sus-
picion which had already formed itself
in my own mind. This sudden death
of an inconvenient and dangerous
prisoner was an event which it was
easy to understand in an Eastern
court.
Evidently the grand vizier had an
ticipated the feeling with which this
intelligence would be received The
secretary went on to say:
My master has thought it his duty
to communicate the fullest particulars
of this affair to the representatives of
the powers at once. The body of the
late sultan is stin lying in the room
in which it was discovered by his at
tendants. He appears to have taken
his life by means of a pair of Persian
scissors, with which he is believed to
have cut open a vein in the left arm.

THAT night has since become his
torical. It was the night Of the 29th
of May, on which Abdul-Aziz Khan,
the Refuge of the World and the
Shadow of God, was forcibly deposed
from the sultanate and made a cap
tive in his own palace.
AS soon as morning had come, the
news of what had taken place was all
over Constantinople. It did not take
the diplomatists in Pera wholly by sur
prise. For some time past Abdul-Aziz

fortunes which were gathering round

thrown down, and feeling Of unrest
was in all mems minds.
1T appeared that this state of things
had eliminated in the meeting OF a
secret council of the great pashas at
the seraskierate, which is, as you are
aware, the headquarters of the army.
The council had been called sud

messengers were sent secretly into the
quarter of the palace in which Me

Erench AorIcuIture.

Since the outbreak of the war the
French government has been fully
alive to the paramount importance OF
the agricultural problem, which has
been rendered all the more difficult
Of solution by the drain which the
general mobilization made upon labor.
In spite of the great sacrifices made
by the women of France, who, since
the war began, have undertaken agri-
cultural work hitherto performed by
men, there was for long period a
serious lack of hands. Fhis has been
remedied to a great extent by the
initiative Of M. Millerand, the min
lister Of war, who put at the disposal
of farmers territorial troops and the
men in the depots who are unit for
the fighting line. Permission has also
been granted to men in the trenches
to return to the farms for seed time

General Robert E. Lee, the mili-
tary hero and leader of the south,
was born fifteen months after his
mother was laid to rest in her casket
/ in the family vault on Arlington
Heights.
This sounds like strange pheno-
menon of nature, but it is true, never
thefess. History, so far as it touches
the life of the great military genius,
fails to mention this incident.
| Warfield Lee, of Catlettsburg, is
familiar with the story of the incl
dent and occasionally relates it to his
acqnaintances. And the Catlettsburg
man is in a position to know, for he
is grand nephew of General Lee.
! He tells the story as follows !:
i Light Horse" Harry Lees wife was
| in very i'll health in 1909. The family
J physician had pronounced that his
skill and knowledge of medical science
could not save her Her condition
yrew steadily more precarious until
one day four physicians about her
bedside pronounced her dead. She
lay in state in the great Lee ma nslgn
j OH Arlington Heights for faurs days
tOn the fifth day, she was placed in
casket. On the sixth day she was
removed to the family mausoleum.
On the seventh day the sexton went
into the mausoleum to lay flowers on
the casket and sweep the floor, for
the day before had been quite rainy
and the shoes of those following the
distinguished woman to her final rest
dropped considerable mud.
/ While sweeping, the old sexton
heard weak far off sounding voice
call "Help, help, help" The sexton
could not account for the voice, I'M
less it were from the dead, and he
/ soon was without the walls of the
mausoleum Arguing to himself the
voice had been entirely in his magma
ton, he finally took courage and re-
turned to his sweeping.
Finishing his sweeping he walked
/ to the casket to strew the flowers
over the lid. Again he heard that
weak, far off voice calling Help
| Help" He was standing directly over
the glass of the lid and looking into
the face of the supposedly dead WON
an when he saw her lips culver. The
Hid was hurriedly removed by him be-
fore he summoned assistance. Mrs
Lee was taken from the mausoleum tc
the house, where she SOON recovered
and lived to ripe, old age.
Fifteen months after the incident
RobeTh E. Lee was born.
