VICTOR HUGO AN EXILE

his trials he never became fafnt-hearted, and never did the thought of taking a step backward occur to him.
 He was expelled from Jersey as he had
 been from Brussels, and he found refuge in Guernsey. His one constant
 answer was When liberty shall return
 to France, I will return" During this enforced exile Hugo wrote most of his great novels, including Les Miserables." When the book appeared the European press offered banquet to the prescribed author In Brussels, and the exile pro- posed a toast to the press-"the living clarion that sounds the awakening of the nations"
 "E1even years ago." he said you saw me depart from among you almost a. young man. You find me now grown old My hair has changed, but my heart has
 not changed" The most cruel of all the years of his exile was 1S6S his grandson dying in March, and Madame Victor Hugo in August "She was," in the words
 spoken above her grave "the wife of the ! greatest man that lives, and her heart
 was on a level with his genius. Her ca, pacity for comprehending him made her | almost his equal" e.
 Then came the Franco-Prussian war. On September occurred the famous bat
 tie of Sedan. The following day Victor
 Hugo was again in Paris. The people were vociferous in their welcome. "Citi- zens," he said, his eyes full of tears, you repay me in one hour for 19 years of exile"
 While Paris was being besieged the public recitations of Hugo's ''Les Chati- ments formed it's principal entertain-
 ment The proceeds of the performances
 at the Porte Saint Martin and the col lections made in Prussian helmets at the opera sufficed for the casting of two cannon-"Chatiment'' and 'Victor Hugo" :" | At the next election 214,169 votes sent the 1 late exile to the national assembly. On | May P, 1885, Victor Hugo died. He was given magnificent public funeral. and
 his remains were laid in the Pantheon

From the Pittshurg Post

From the Pittshurg Post.
 0 VICTOR HUGO, one of the v greatest literary men France has ever produced, spent 20 years of his life an exile from his country. At the time he was exiled in 1S4S he was member of the constituent assembly, and had been raised by Louis Philippe to the Peerage He violently opposed the coup de'etat by which Louis Napoleon
 raised himself to the throne, not only in his speeches before the assembly, but in his books and pamphlets written at the time.
 The Emperor would have pardoned Hugo, for it was no part of his policy to deprive France of her great romance but Hugo spurned his clemency and went into voluntary exile until Sedan and the new republic brought him back in 1871.
 When Victor Hugo had decided to is- sue the proclamation outlawing Bona- parte on December 2, 1851, he found he was no longer in safety at his own house.
 He was concealed in the homes of friends, and a reward of 900 francs was offered for his head. When he found his life de- pended on his remaining in Paris, he abandoned the city and went to Brussels, and taking up his residence in the Place de THotel-de-ville, he began his His tory of a Crime"
 This famous story was finished in May, 1852 but was not destined to appear un- til the first of October, 1877, and then as a warning against new outrage on liberty. In France his name was erased from the roll of the Literary society of Paris, and in Belgium the law which bears the name of it's author was framed for his expulsion. When that country no longer gave him protection Hugo fled to England, and from thence went to Jer- sey
 For 20 years Victor Hugo was aban- doned and condemned by that element Of his countrymen who held the supreme mower. He was opposed with the bitterest sorrow, prey to all kinds of calumny, to all kinds of treason. to all kinds of moral and physical sufferings. Yet in all

The Irish Potato
 As Legal Tender

1NHE Irish potato is rapidly be-
 4 coming legal tender in this country. The other day Chicago re- porter took basket of potatoes in lieu of purse and went on shop ping expedition. The chauffeur of taxicab took six potatoes in exchange for short ride, saying he would pay the fare himself and keep the potatoes if the taxicab company refused them. In a 10-cent store the reporter bought two brilliants and picture frame for the remainder of his potatoes. The basket, evidently, was not large.
 In Springfield, Mass. man walked into cafe and ordered a cocktail. He offered the bartender potato. That

To Be Relieved
 of Much R@WtiEae

M GREAT deal of the Presidents 6A ' time has been taken up with signing commissions of civil and mili- tary officers, but the advocate general of the army has just ruled that the Secretary of War may sign army commissions for the President. Hence forth the chief executive will sign only the commissions of general of ficers. This is a good innovation and should have been adopted long ago.
 When a second lieutenant is pro- noted to first lieutenant new com mission issues; and even with small army the President has done a great deal of signing every month. In view of the proposed increases in the army 1t is estimated that about fifty thou sand additional officers would be needed. Attaching his signature to that many commissions would be a serious task in itself.
 The Secretary of War will doubt less expedite the work by using a stamp. If the President can be re- lieved of this burden in the case of military commissions why will not the same rule apply in the navy :? The fact is that department head should be authorized to sign all com missions-th the Postmaster General the commissions of presidential post masters, the Secretary of the Treas ury the commissions of collectors, and so on.
 The President should be left free to devote his time to statesmanship and big politics.

Liked the Variety

"The information furnished the armor plate commission at the hearing Satur- day afternoon was not the only new thing imparted to the members of the board while they were in Birmingham certainly not to F. R. Bakenhus," said Blanks Everett yesterday Saturday night at the Country club, the members of the board were guests at stag din ner. MT. Bakenhus was the only mem Der of the board who would dance, and as he didn't know any girls I had to find him a partner. I picked him out a good looking girl, and a good dancer, and he started off.
 Before he'd been gone many minutes however, I found him at my elbow again Say some man came and got that girl he told me, and I found him another one. In a few minutes he returned again with the same complaint. So I suggested that the best thing he could do was to work on the theory that turn about Is fair play and go get her back. He didn't know exactly how it was done, but I showed him, and waited with him till the couple came around again, and then he went to it. It was a new custom to him, he said, this thing of breaking But he later admitted that he liked it yer much, as 1t afforded such a variety"

J. H. Doughty, the next witness, was type of the hustling transportation man ager. AS he told of Birmingham strategic position as a railroad center. it made me feel that while I wanted an adjustment of freight rates still I wasn't going to be unmindful of what the railroads had done, for (and some may add to) Birmingham. His bringing out the question of land grant railroads put new phase on the government ability to get low freight rates
