In the process.
Louis XIV first loved dainty Louise
de la Querouaille. But the historians
say that she proved unfaithful to her
royal admirer. Louis did not let this
prevent him from sending her to Eng
land In the train Of q court lady bound
there on visit of state. And he told
Louise to caphvate Charles II Of Eng
land. Then she was to send him
news Of England's statecraft and to
influence Charles 80 that he would
make concessions which the French
monarch wanted. For all Of which
Louis engaged to pay her handsomely.
Louise found the occupation such
an easy one that she decided 1t would
be Just as simple to sell Charles news
of Louis and his policies. So she re-
ceived much gold from both kings, but

Charles of anything more than trivial
matters, remaining loyal to her own
land.
This double traffic made Louise o
very rich woman. But her ambition
craved greater honors. She persuad-
ed the English king to make her
duchess Of Portsmouth, and as such
she was thoroughly despised by the
English people. In addition to
dealing In secrets of state she
welded her influence at the two courts
to obtain many political appointments,
for which she was duly paid by the
nppointees. But Louise was not suf.

SILAS DIDN'T NEED
A NEW LIGHTNING ROD

These old-time lightning rod sales
men would give guaranty with each
and every rod it would do the work
as represented or a new rod would
be sent to the buyer. The statesmen
always kept their word. They would
send new rod whenever lightning
stuck the place, but what the farmer
needed most was a new house.
A common testimonial of the peri
cd ran like this:

that lightning would strike my house
and barns. bought set of your

By strange freak of fortune the

A Mean Farmer

The meanest man on record is said
to be --- County farmer. He
sold his son-in-law one-half a cow,
and then refused to divide the milk,
maintaining that he sold only the
front half. The buyer was also re-
quired to provide the feed the cow
consumed, and compelled to carry
water to her three times a day. Re-
Gently the cow hooked the old man,
so now he is suing his son-in-law for
damages.

Washington school boys are
preparing for one of their biggest
sport seasons in years. Every

according to announcements
from the Washington play

The sport that will attract the
most attention will be soccer.
The sport Is gaining greater
headway among the school boys
at the present time in Washing

school is represented by from
one to three teams who play
among themselves and then play
teams from other schools.
At all the local Fairgrounds
equipment for the game and in
structors are furnished free to
all children. The game is taught
and teams are also organized at
the Fairgrounds. Here extern
siye grounds can be used. and
scrub teams are always playing
each other when not In school
during the session.
A schedule II arranged by the
woman or man In charge of the
playground for the schools who
will have teams for champion
ship play. The games are
played after school. and they do
not interfere with studies. That
is one of the reasons that the
game Is boosted. School plays
school until SO many teams are
eliminated through defeat. Then
a mi-final series is arranged
almost like the world series. At
every game the schools that
play are represented by large
groups OF students who come to
