she Used Her Voice

The Waldorf-Astor hotel in New
York has maid with a voice. She
can yell louder than any Comanche on
the warpath. Recently she let loose
her voice and bellhops and porters
rushed to her from all over the big
hosiery. In answer to her cries she
pointed to one of the rooms. ''There's
Leprochauns In there" she cried, slit
tie devil men, with bald heads and
whiskers, leaping over the bed in yon-
%ler room" ''Leprochauns," cried a
porter, also from the Emerald isle, and
he devoutly crossed himself. "Lepro-
chauns, indeed" whimpered the maid.
''There they are in there. I went in.
and bless my soul, if these little devils
did not go leapin' about lookin' for all
the world like Paddy McFadden's two
uncles over in Ballyshanon. Sure,
won't go in there again, job or no Job"
With compressed lips and doughty
manners, the little party Of men went
into the room and then, after sup
pressed gasp, they laughed. For gam
boiling about were two tiny marmosets.
pets, are theyY' repeated the maid.
well, may be they're all right, but
they look like devils just the same,
and I'll have none of them"

BUILT FOR KINGS DAUGHTER
Famous French Road Constructed by
Louis XIV to Render Travel
More Easy.

The high road running along the
edge of the plateau of Craonne,
France, frequently mentioned in the
official communicates during the second
battle of the Aisne, and which is going
down to history under the name of the
"Chemin des Danes (the ladies'
wayl, dates from the time of Louis
/ XIV.
This road, beginning at the Paris
Maubeuge road, about ten miles north
east Of scissors, crosses the plateau
of Craonne, a distance of about twelve
miles, then descends into the valley OF
\ the Ailette to cross the VauclerC
woods to the domain of the ancient
! chateau of Dove, near Bouconville,
where the Princess Adelaide, Sophie
and Victoire, daughters of Louis XIV
visited one of their ladies of honor,
Nine. de Narbonne, every summer.
The roads of the region were de.
testable. Out of consideration for the
princesses a new paved road was built
along the crest of the plateau and from
that fact it derives the name of the
"Chemin des Dames.r

EDITORIAL NOTE. - William Le-
Queux, who here chronicles for his
friend, Count Ernst Won HeItzendorff,
the latter's revelations of the inner
life of the imperial German court, has
long been recognized throughout Eu-
rope as the pOssessor of Its innermost
secrets.
The English awho's Whoo says of
him: she has intimate knowledge of
the secret service of Continental coun-
tries and Ia considered by the govern
ment (Of Great Brittany an authority on
such matters" Another authority says:
Sew people have been more closely as
ISOLATED with or know more of the
astounding inner machinery of Ger
many than he."
LeQueux probably has more sources
of secret information at his command
than any contemporary In civil life, and
for the last six years the British Gov
eminent has made valuable use of his
vast store of secret information through
a specially organized department with
which LeQueux works as voluntary
assistant.
Count won HeItzendorR became an i'm
TO the outbreak of the war; he has been
living in retirement In France since
August, 1914, and 1t was there that Lee
Queux received from the crown princes
late personal adjutant permission to
make public these revelations of the
inner life of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the demOcracfes of the world might
come to know the real, but heretofore
hidden, personalities of the two domi-
nant members of the autOcracy they are
now arrayed against.

AND CROWN PRINCE AS


They, however, We're shown into his
room to wait, and there saw upon his
table an abusive and scurrilous type
written letter in German addressed to
the emperor. Then it suddenly dawned
upon them that the affable young man
might be the actual author of those
Infamous letters, about which all Ber-
lin knew and was talking. 1t was this
visit which, no doubt, revealed to the
baron the young mans hiding place.
Both mother and daughter however,
kept their own counsel, met Seeliger
next day, and watched, subsequently
learning, to their surprise, that he was
the son of General Won Trautmann,
and, further, that he had as a friend
one of the personal Wallets of the en-
peror, from whom, no doubt, he OBJ
tanned his inside information about
persons at court.
"When his father was arrested we
knew that the young man was living
in Brussels, and at once went there in
order to induce him to come forward,
make confession, and so save the gem
eral from disgrace" said the pretty
/ gill SCdltd DtLOlG me VII dIIlNdl VIC
saw him alone, and told him what we
/ had discovered in the Rue de Provence,
! whereupOn he admitted to us that he
had written all the letters, and an
nounced that he intended to return to
Berlin next day and give himself up
to the police in order to secure his
! fathers release"
"And why did he not do SOP + asked.
Because next morning he was found
dead in his bed in the hotel"
Fearing the emperor's wrath, the
Breitenbachs, like myself, dared not
reveal what they knew-the truth,
which is here set down for the first
time-and, alas! poor General Won
Trautmann died in prison at Mulheim
last year.

A BUSINESS TALK
WITH HOME MERCHANTS

A captain of American industry
once said: "One definite sugges-
tion lis worth a mountain OF ge
eralities."
The Journal has one which i
wishes to pass on to the busi
mess men OF the south part o
Audubon County.
lit is that we should have more
special sales in our trade territory
Like amy other good thing. the
plan of holding special sales may
be abused and overworked; but
when properly used, it seems tc
be unquestionably the most effec-
tive means known of keeping
trade at home
The Journal feels no hesitation
in saying that very large part
Of the trade goes to the larger
towns, which are mot far away
goes in response to announco
ments OF attractive bargain sales
and there is no question that
mail order concerns live and pros
per by dangling constantly the
bait OF tempting bargain offerings
before the eyes of the buying
public
VA we'll planned special sale is
good stimulant for amy busi-
ness, and the Journal is ready tC
subscribe to- the fact that as the
number of special sales put o.
by home merchants increases, the
amount of business going away
from home decreases.
This time of the year, just AT
ter the holidays there are ode
and ends in all general stock.

at bargain prices, to the buyile
public, who are looking for JUS
such snaps :.
They are stimulators to trade
