Brussels Tribunal Declares First

Paris, Aug 14.-The general trlo-
unal at Brussels has embarrassed the
king of Saxony by holding that LOUISE
ex-crown princess, whom he divorced
at Dresden after her elopement with
Giron, her children's tutor, in 1902
still is mis- wife and queen of Saxony,
and that the Dresden decree is Invalid.
l. The decision of the Brussels court
Twas rendered in proceedings brought
I'll ere by Enrico Toselli, composer or
inferior merit, whom the eX-crown
princess married in 1907 after her es-
arrangement from Giron.
Princess Too Capricious.
Toselli obtained a divorce in 1911
declaring his wife was so capricIous
it was impossible for him to live with
her and that she had squandered great
sums entrusted to her by his father
one child was born to them ana 1t
was a legal battle between them for
possession of this child that brought
about the decision of the court at
Brussels.
In effect the Brussels court informs
Toselli he has no rights as the Oh
vorced husband of Louise because he
never was lawfully married to her,
her real husband being the present
king of Saxony.
This decision, it is reported. was as
great surprise to Louise, VINO mas

intent only on gaining possession of
her child, as it was to Toselli and as

Given an Income.
Following her elOpement with
Giron, Louise, who was daughter
of the grand duke of Tuscany, was
tried at Dresden by a court of seven
judges and her husbands plea for
divorce was granted. This was in 1908
and in the same year she was deprived
of her title, being granted an income
of $4,000 year on condition that
she commit no act, directly or indi-
rectly liable to injure the reputation
of the king or the royal family"
When she married TOselli she re-
tanned the title of Countess Month
guoso, granted her by her father-in-
law, the late King George of Saxony.
Speculation is rife here what steps
if any Louise will now take to estab-
fish herself as Queen of SaXony and
the kings consort by authority of the
courts decision. Her last success in
scandal regarding the king was
book which she printed in 1912 con-
tanning the frankest possible account
of her life with the crown prince and
members of the royal family.

Didn't Look Much Like Hard
Times in Western Canada.

A. Meyer, who left one of the best
Counties In Minnesota, probably be-
cause he got a good price for his ex-
cellent farm, and left for the Canadian
West, writes to his local paper, the
Bagley Independent. His story is well
worth repeating. He says:

berta would be expressing it mildly.
In a country where so much suffering
was reported, / found everyone in
good circumstances, and especially
all our friends who have left Clearwa-
ter and Polk counties. They all have
good homes and those who were re-
ported to have sold their stock through
lack Of feed, found with their barns
full of stock, and it did not look very
much like hard times. They have
from 100 acres to two sections Of the
finest land that can be found.
Those that left here two or three
years ago have from 100 to 400 acres
in crops this year.
Prospects for bumper crop are
splendid. 1t is a little cold now, but
nothing is frosted, either in gardens

After suffering all the pangs Of
those who lose between the touch and
the clutch, Griswold had found the
red-handkerchief bundle precisely
where it had been hidden; namely,
buried safely in the deckload Of
sacked coffee on the engine-room
guard.
1t came to light in the final half
hour of the voyage, when he and his
mates were transferring the coffee to
the main deck, forward. 1t had not
been disturbed; and what had hap
pened was obvious enough, after the
fact After it's hiding, arm's-length
deep, in a Granny between the sacks,
some sudden jar of the boat had
slightly shifted the cargo, closing one
Granny and opening another.
With the money once more in his
possession he had a swift return OF
the emotions which had thrilled him
when he found himself standing on
the sidewalk in front Of the Bayou
State Security with the block of bank
notes under his arm.
AS to the battle for the keeping
which was probably awaiting him al

coming to blows, man-fashion, with
the enemy, was not wholly unvel
come.
The few necessary preliminaries
were arranged while the Belle Julie
