STEWARD LET DOWN LIGHTLY
In View Of silly Assertion, One Would

A hotel steward said to be known

excuse him only because he has been
penned up In public eating places for
so many years that he has lost all
sense Of proportion and lacks facts for

not forgotten how to cook. Their

was the delight Of Nine. du Barry to

his revenge.
She began life as n servants daugh-

son of the Due de Brissac saw her
when she was under twenty, employed
in d milliner's shop. From his hands
she passed on TO the Vicomte Du
Barry, down-at-the-heel nobleman
who kept a famous gambling establish
ment. She was the attraction of the
gaming tables for several years. Then
the vicomte, who saw her loveliness
increase every day, conceived the idea
of introducing her to Louis XIV.
Lebel, valet to the king, was the
Judge of beauty for his imperial mas

Lebel that the vicomte applied The

THE ANGEL WITH THE FROZEN
HEART"

TN 1893, with the French revolution
at its height, a fifteen-year-old
girl was married to q banker almost
fifty and all Paris smirked. But Paris
would have been ashamed If 1t had
known, as historians believe, that
Jacques Recamler was the father Of
his bride, Jeanne, and married her so
that she might have his powerful pro-
lection. Throughout his life he kept
a paternal attitude toward her.
Nine. Recamler undoubtedly was one
of the most beautiful women who ever
graced Paris. An admirer said that
she had complexion that Is a bowl

other tells us of her "orange-tinte
eyes" and all agreed that she was "the
angel with the frozen heart"

to Lyons and Recamer got together
some of his old wealth. Then the
two left for Italy. There Prince Au-

bankers wife and wanted her to be-
come his princess. Again she de-
clined. Lucien Napoleon, brother OF

THE FiREBRAND OF THE REvo-
LUTON.

IF 1T had not been for woman
the French Revolution might never
have taken place. 1t was October 0,
1853. Outside the palace Of Versailles
bread and the head of "the Austrian
woman" Marie Antoinette. She and
Louis XVI looked from the windows,
and Marie asked: "Why don't they eat
cake?
The women had dragged cannon
because the rain had wet their pow
der. Versailles was protected by the
royal bodyguard and regiment OF
Flemings. The local post of the Garde
Nationale was in sympathy with the
women and would have helped them,
but they had no cartridges.
AT this point enters Theroigne de
Mericourt, already a heroine of repub-
lican Paris, and vampire who had
laid waste many hearts. She appeared
before Versailles In a red silk dress, a
big hat with feather, and sabre at
en and picked willing spirits to attack
the Flemings. Their attack" was made
with kisses-a kiss for a cartridge.
Soon the Garde Rationale fired on the
bodyguard. The next day Versailles
was stormed. Marie escaped in her
petticoat.
Back in Paris, Theroigne was ac-
claimed a queen of the Revolution. On
August 10, 1892 she led In the attack
on the Tuileries and the massacre Of
the Swiss guard. The sinister
Robespierre, revolutionary leader, was
mates. But before he came to his
greatest power suspicion pointed to
Theroigne In a plot to assassinate
Marie. She was kidnapped and carried
to Austria In a carriage, and there put
on trial for her life. She succeeded
In reaching Leopold II and "vamped"
her way to freedom.
Then came the tremendous events Of
1893. Robespierre rose to be the first
man Of the state. But Theroigne an
nounced that she had withdrawn her
confidence" from him and Joined his
enemies. Her opposition was so
strenuous that Robespierre hired a
band of women to take his revenge
They intercepted Theroigne before the
Tuileries, the scene of her glory In
1892. This time she did not wear her
sabre. The women Overpowered
Theroigne, turned her petticoats over
her head and spanked her before the
Partisan crowd.
No human reputation could have
withstood such ignominy. The sly
RObespierre had struck Therolgne 4

deeds were forgotten and only her
shame known. She lost all political

THE name Helen OF Troy brings to
L our minds eye woman young
and slender and Of surprising beauty.
AS matter Of record she had red
hair and was forty years old when
she started on her great adventure.
But all the ancient world agreed that
Helen was Its finest ornament. AL
though she lived 1900 years ago her
fame still endures.
When Helen was little under twen-
ty, her father, Tyndareus Of Argos,
found his palace filed with almost
every kinglet and prlnceling in Greece,
demanding her hand. He foresaw that
no matter where her choice fell, there
would be future trouble. So he bound
all of them TO an oath that they would
protect the hearthstone of the favored
suitor.
Helen made strange selection,
Menelaus, king of Sparta a plodding
middle-aged man. He took her off to
his palace and after while many
things were said about her. But the
two lived in seeming contentment for
twenty years. Then came Paris, son
OF Priam, from the great city Of Troy.
He was young and handsome. 1t had
been foretold that his city would be
destroyed through him. Helen prompt
ly "vamped" the stranger guest.
They fled one night for his ship and
sailed for Troy. Menelaus mourned
her as one distracted and called on
Tyndareus to make the nobility Of
Greece fulfill its promise. Twenty long
years had passed and Helen's former
sides on such an errand. But Tyn-
daraeus insisted and Off they went,
I'm 1,2OO ships, to the city Of Troy,
standing near the present-day Con-
stantinople.
The Trojan war lasted ten years
without result. Helen had long since
tired of Paris. Then he was brought
back dying from night sortie. "Long
ago, dear" he said, ''we were glad
we who never more shall be together.
VIII you kiss me, once7 II Is ten
weary years since you have smiled on
me. But. Helen, say farewell with
your old smile"
She kissed him, he died, and soon
afterward she wed his younger broth
'er, although all Troy reviied her for
bringing upon 1t such a war. One
day the Greeks apparently sailed away
and great was the rejoicing. But the
besiegers left behind their famous
wooden horse, which the Trojans mis-
took as an offering to Neptune for
safe passage home. They brought the
horse into the city. That night Sc
cret door in the horse was opened
and Helen led those within to the
gates, which they unfastened to the
returned Greeks. An indescribable
slaughter followed and the city was
burned.
Helen went back to Sparta as the
wife OF Menelaus. When he died the
women rose against her and she fed
to Rhodes, whose queen had lost
son in the Trojan war. And she had
poor Helen publicly hanged.

Almost always. when he worked with

The Block Signals
Are Working-

In some respects, human experience
is like railroading.
Every moment Of the business and
social day the block signals are giving
right of way to keenness and alertness
while the slow and the heavy must
wait on the sidetrack for their chance
to move forward.
The ability to "go through" and to
"get there" depends much on the poise of
body, brain and nerves that comes with
correct diet and proper nourishment.
That's why so many choose Grape
Nuts for breakfast and lunch. Served
with cream or milk it is completely
nourishing, partly Pre-digested, and it
supplies the vital mineral salts so
necessary to full nutrition.

Florence Base Ball Team Gave Good
Account Of Themselves Sunday
BATTING AVERAGES
Including Sunday, July "a.

The Florence base ball team came
up here last Sunday with the biggest
and most enthusiastic bunch OF root
ers that has followed any team here
this year. OF course, the Florence
boys didn't expect to win the game
and OF course the locals didn't play
the game that they would have play
ed had they been up against strong
er combination, but they played ball
all the time.
Florence has bunch OF active
young athletes that, with some coach
ing, could be made much more for
midsble. Their hurler, a young man
named Youngell, has excellent curves
and will develop into hurler OF
ability with more experience. He Is
but is years OF age. He has a wide
sweeping out-drop that fooled the To-
calls lots OF times. He had a case OF
stage fright in the first inning and
allowed several hits which, coupled
with errors, let in six runs. After
that he settled and the locals got but
four more tallies, most OF them COM
ing IN OF fozzles by the Florence
fielders.
The boys from the Wisconsin town
went after Premo hard and got lot
OF hits. majority OF them being Tex
as leaguers, due to the fact that the
out field was playing too far out.
Premo didn't exert himself as he
would have done had the team been
up against a stronger aggregation.
One of the principal features was
the enthusiastic roofing Of the Flor
ence fans along the first base line.
They certainly are good bunch OF
rooters and they have reason to feel
proud of their team.
The box score Is as follows:
