THE WOMAN WHO TURNED PHIL
oSoPHERS' HEADS.

NTHEN we thumb the book of his
w tory and turn back to page
written $500 years ago, that seems a
very long time to us. But human ma
ture then was much the same as il is
now. Women ruled in the Fourth cen
fury, B. c., no less than they Co to-
day.
Just as the great poet Homer was
claimed by several cities, there also
was intense rivalry concerning the
birthplace of {-ais. She would seem to
have been born in Hiccara, Sicily. Al
the age of seven she fell under the eve
of the Athenian general, Meals who
directed her education. Lais became
a woman of much greater accomplish
ment than most of her sex in that far
off time.
Lais lived for time in Corinth, then
went to Athens, where she soon became
one of Abe most celebrated figures,
Diogenes, the cynic, and Aristippus fol-
lowed docilely in her train. Their de-
votion led Lais to this gentle bit of
sarcasm: Il do not understand what
is meant by the austerity of these
philosophers" she said, "for they are
as much in my power as the rest of the
Athenians."
The rule of Lais In Athens continued
for long time. Her influence was
sufficient to make mems fortunes al

most noted men of the state. Her
house was meeting place for all that
was brilliant In Athens. But even so

THE MOST FAMOUS WOMAN IN
THE WORLD.


HER hair was red and she had a
snub nose. If 1t had been a frac-
ZION longer or little less snubbed the
history of the world might have been
changed, as French philosopher re-
marked.
Cleopatra was born in B. G. so and
with her brother Ptolemy became joint
heir to the throne of Egypt. The two
disagreed and Cleopatra fed from AL
exandria. About this time Julius
Caesar, fresh from his great victory
over Pompey, arrived in the Egyptian
capital. With true Roman courtesy"
he seized the principal buildings and
bid Its warning factions behave. Cleo
,patra heard and took heed. On a GER
tain day Caesar held audience, and
each new applicant added some gift
to the pile growing at his feet. Then
came giant Nubian slave. bearing
role of carpet on his back. He laid
1t before Caeser, who leaned forward,
suspecting some priceless treasure
The carpet moved, was opened, and
Cleopatra seood before him in unrobed
loneliness. She was sixteen, Caeser
almost sixty.
The next day he banished her en-
emies, but instead of placing Cleopatra
hrmly upon the throne, he carried her
off to Rome, and maintained her there
until he was assassinated by Brutus.
Cleopatra returned to Alexandria and
found her throne more secure than
before. But she made the mistake of
negotiating with the wrong Roman par
~. Mark Antony was sent to demand
her penitence. He came as ruler of
all the East, or one half the known
world, which he had divided with Oc-
tavius Caesar. as""
Cleopatra went forth to meet him
In her famous galley, rowed by the
most beautiful maidens she could find.
The siren wore only golden anklet,
set with sacred scarab. Antony saw
her, forgot his mission, forgot every
thing. And for ten delirious years he
dallied In soft luxury, 1t was a long
time, and one which must end. Octavi.
us came aboard his fleet to claim that
other half of the world which Antony
had wasted. They met in battle off
Actium. Antony's feet was on the
point of victory when he saw Cleo
patra's galley speed away, for rea-
son never learned. He thought her
wounded or in other peril and gave
pursuit. Antony's ships wavered, broke
line, were overwhelmed.
Cleopatra saw the inevitable about
to happen and sent a secret message
to Octavius, attempting by fiattery and
seduction to save herself. Caesar had
been a black-eged man, and Antony's
eyes were a warm brown. But those
of Octavius were gray and cold. He
merely smiled. Cleopatra knew her
self lost and retired to a mausoleum
she had built. Antony heard that she
was dead and threw himself upon his
sword. He was carried dying to her
arms. She soothed his Lass moments,
then put an asp to her bosom, which
sank its fangs into her soft breast
even as the letters of Octavius thun-
dered at the gate.

THE OPERA STAR WHO VAMPED,
A NATION.

WE ARE accustomed to somewhat
extravagant stories about opera
stars' and put these down to ''tempera-
ment." But the maddest escapades
vi our most privileged artists would
seem mild compared to those of Mad
einolselle La Maupin, who reigned at
me Paris opera In the latter days of
the seventeenth century.
La Maupin was child of genius, IL
one ever lived. Beautiful, talented,
and thoroughly willing to use her
charms, she may be said to have
Vamped'' the nation, doing with 1t as
she pleased. In her youth, when still
NOBODY, she was married to a pro-
sale husband whom she soon left for
a handsome fencing master. He taught
her to fence, and she became one of
the best swordsmen in France.
"Swordsmen" is used advisedly, for she
always fought as a man, and IT was
her special delight to go forth In male
attire, seeking whatever adventures
might offer. ...
In her male role La Maupin went to
Marseilles. There she wooed and won
a handsome young lady of the town.
men, like any gallant, she eloped with
the damsel. The girls father pursued,
Just as he should have done, according
to all the stories. La Maupin found
herself so hard pressed that she took
refuge in a convent with the girl.
Church property was then a sanctu-
airy. But La Maupin must get away
again, and that promised to be diff
cult. So she fired the convent, and
fled In the excitement, The father
still pursued her. She was caught,
the girl rescued, and La Maupin SEN
fenced to the stake. She "vamped"
her jailer and escaped. -
Back at the Paris opera, the capital
took her to its bosom and the city rang
with her exploits. The decree of burn
ing was forgotten. La Maupin had ris-
en- above the law, Her most famous
achievement took place at ball where
she appeared In male clothing. And
like rude cavalier, she offended
woman. A. man friend of the woman
invited La Maupfn outside. She ran
him through the body. Another man
followed, and died on her sword Then
third came, and met the same end.
Her friendship with ministers and
powerful men of the times made her
person to be feared and courted.
She dispensed favors as her whimsi-
cal will dictated. The elector of Bavar-
Ia carried her off to Brussels, but she
lad not been there long when he sent
her purse by the hand of a man
whose wife had just taken the electors
fancy. And this man brought a car
rage, with instructions that La Maui
pin start for Paris.
La Maupin died in 17O7 at the age
of thirty-three.

A BEAUTY OF OLD NEW YORK.

EVERYONE who knows New York
- has seen the famous Jumel man
sion which crowns the highest point
on Manhattan Island, overlooking the
Harlem river. The mansion once stood
in the midst Of a spacious park, but
apartments now crowd up to its gates.
The woman who ruled there in better
days was one of the most fascinating
personalities of American history.
She was born on a ship in 1859 and
lost her mother at birth. When the
vessel reached Providence kindly
woman adopted the child and gave her
the homeiy name of Eliza Bowen, bet
ter known as Betty. She soon gave
! promise of unusual beauty and a MINI
BILE wit. At seventeen she was brought
to New York by former British Off
| GER, and soon became celebrated in
that half world just below society.
Many famous men knew and loved her.
among others Aaron Burr. vice presf-
dent of the United States and Alexan-
der Hamilton, first secretary of the
treasury. Bad feeling had existed be-
by their doule courtship, and Burr
challenged Hamilton to a duel, killing
his man on Weehawken heights July
IL, 1904.
That same year Betty married
Stephen Jumel, a wealthy French wine
merchant, and bought the mansion
which was to be made famous by her
name. But society looked askance at
her and she went to Paris. Napoleon
was then at the height of his power.
She gained access to the court and be-
came one of the brilliant figures of
Partisan life. Even Jumel's great for
tune dwindled. She returned to Amer
lea with him and by her skin helped
him to gain new riches. Society NOT
only accepted her, but paid her court,
Jumel died in an accident In 1880.
Three years later Aaron Burr returned
TO America from wanderings abroad
following his famous trial for treason. |
He resumed his law practice and be-
gan to shine forth with the briIliance !
of forty years before that Mime. Jumel
They met again, and were
married. He was seventy-five and she
sixty-one. But in ten days they quar-
relied and he left her. A reconciliation
ensued. then another quarrel, and Burr
died alone on Staten Island not long
But Nine. Jumel's capacity to drain
the cup of life was not yet extinct
In 1858 she went to Paris, was row.
ally entertained by Napoleon III, and
1t her advanced age conceived the
dea she really was queen. Back
she came TO her mansion and lived in
semi-royal state. She lived until
July 16. 1865.

GOOD PROOF OF RETICENCE
Testimony Should Have Convinced
Jury That This Woman Was
Able to Keep a Secret.

In suit recently tried in Boston
1t happened that one of the witnesses
was personal friend of a lawyer
on the other side and that it was his
duty to cross-examine her. By rea-
son of their friendship he was, if pos
sible, trifle more personal with her
than he would have been with another
witness.
"Can you be trusted with a secret?"
he asked at one juncture of the cross
examination.
The woman drew herself up proud
iy. "YOu have known me for ten
years, haven't you? she asked in
turn.
yes"
