Juror Loses Glass Eye,
So He Could Not Serve

Boston.-Martin w. Finnerty, a
juror in the seventh session OF the
superior court, failed to put in an
appearance in his jury seat. Finally
telephone message was received
from Finnerty to the effect that he
was hustling about town looking
for new glass eye.
He informed the court officials
that while washing his face he
dropped his eye in the sink and
that it was shattered beyond re-
demption. He wouldn't appear
without all eye for $1,000, he said,
but hoped to make good his loss in
about an hour.
When he appea.:cd with S new
acquisition Judge Wait kline ex-
cused him 4 sitting on the case.

The Evening News points out that
during the war there developed a

hers of going about and enjoying
herself extravagantly and recklessly

London, May 24.-The rustling of
the wind in the branches, the mill
tary note OF the bugle and the dis
tant sound of gunfire from neigh
boring camps, and just now the fra
grant late spring in the English
countryside-these form the setting
for the penultimae scene in the
drama staged at Marlborough, in
Hampshire, where the last empress
of France-Marie Eugene Ignace
Augustine De Montijo-is spending
the closing years of her life.
The shadow of the tragedy which
robbed the ex-empress of throne,
and the later tragedy which robbed
her of her son, the prince imperial,
remain shadows, but they do not
throw a darkening gloom over the
final chapter.
The house she occupies is Farm
borough hall, fine old Elizabethan
mansion standing high up i'll 81
acres Of grass land. The house it.
self, which is hidden from the road
side by tall pine trees, contains 81
rooms.
She Is Exclusive.
It is not so easy to gain admit
lance to her presence. The proce-
dure now in force is, when the
visitor has not been personally in
vited, he must enter his name in the
visitors book, leaving also his ad-
dress.
Each night the book is taken up
to the former impress, who exam
ines the particulars entered. Should
she agree to receive any one Of the
callers = formal invitation is then
sent.
Although the former empress is
approaching her 93d year her
ieaith is still good; her only
apparent physical weakness is fail
ing eyesight, which has lately grown
more pronounced.
Usually she rises at 1880 in the
/. morning and breakfasts at IL.
After breakfast she adjourns with
her secretary and goes through
her correspondence-afways fairly
heavy. That finished, the former
empress pays a daily visit to the
wounded officers lying in the hos
pital which she has had especially
built as a separate wing to the
house.
County Etiquette.
Not since the war has the former
empress given weekend parties. but
on certain ceremonial occasions
she still elings to the etiquette of a
reigning queen. For example, when
a number of distinguished guests
are invited they are expected to
await her arrival. and, after the
manner OF royalty, when she ap-
pears she makes one sweeping cour-
tesy to include the whole company
and then precedes them into the
audience room"
lust now the workpeople on her
estate are busy telling trees to meet
the requirements made by the Brit

Jack is not greatly in love with

Bad and Worse

| New Iberia is not the only place
on the map where there are bad bog
/ holes judging from an excerpt taken
| from the Alexandria Town Talk. 1t
is true on many of our streets it is
! impossible to drive vehicle of any
sort without stalling. In a great
measure this trouble is due to the
fact that when the trenches were cut
for the sewerage the ground should
have been packed tightly and put IN
the same condition it was before the
trenches were cut. In Alexandria, on
streets where there is no paving,
there are holes equally as bad as
those in our own city judging from
the following:
1.-TWO large elephants belonging to
M. L. Clark & Sons Shows, are be-
ing used daily to rescue automobiles
that bog in mud holes in West Mon
roe street. The elephants get in be-
hind the cars and push with their

Talk that numbers of these machines
bog on this street daily and that the
elephants are kept in readiness. The
cars are moved at nominal COST
