GAUDY COSTUME HIS FolBLE
Marshal Murat, Napoleon's Famous
Cavalry Leader, Seemingly Had
Craze for "Fine Feathers"

Marshal Murat was the dandy
among Napoleon's generals. One Paris
tailor said that In some years he had
made as much as 100000 francs worth
OF suits, overcoats and uniforms for
hurat. He liked to invent new and
fantastic uniforms. he strutted about
in suit of sky-blue overalls covered
all over with gold spangles, and he
decorated his busby with aigrettes. On
the occasion of his triumphant entry
into Warsaw when he supposed he
would be made king Of Poland. he
wore an Impossible looking uniform,
red leather boots, tunic Of cloth Of
gold, sword belt blazing with dia-
monds. and a great busby of fur
decked out with costly plumes. On
this occasion Napoleon lost his temper
and testify exclaimed to his general:
Go and put on your proper uniform;
you look like clown" But the en-
peror was not nisled by Murat's love
OF fipery, for IT is recorded that he
once said Of him: "You may smite at
my dandified marshal. but you will no.
tice that when columns are shot down
today, Murat's gaudy plume will be
dancing in the hottest of the fight. Let
a hero have one folly, gentlemen"

GERMAN WAR PLOT SHOWN MP

A German war plot that failed was
revealed in New York Monday.
-Four defective bolts, taken from
the machinery of the transport,
Mount Vernon, told the tale. They
were discovered by engineering
forces of Commander r. d. Gate
wood, director of the shipping
boards division of construction and
repairs and placed on exhibition at
his office.
After the Mount vernon-former-
~ the Kronpripzessen Cecilie, the
famous gold ship" that raced into
Bar Harbor in the early days OF the
war-had been seized as 2 troop ship
her German crew cut two-thirds of
the way through the four six-inch
poits tnaF connected the engines with
Inc lain crankshaft. The shllfully
1Lade cuts remained hidden by the
fittings of the engine, and were dis
covered only recently when the en-
gines were taken apart.
1t is believed the bolts were left
barely holding, with the hope that
the craft would creep into U-boat
lanes and fall prey TO the underseas
craft when a strain on the engines
came with the order for full speed
ahead.
But luck or toughness of steel per-
mitted the liner to make a dozen
round trips through submarine in
tested seas, carrying from 5000 20
1000 men. Just to round things out
she encircled the globe to bring
troops home from Russia.
The Mount Vernon had several
narrow escapes t-nce she was tor
pedoes and thirty-five of her crew
killed.

Spruce and HemIock.

II is not difficult to distinguish be-
tween spruce and semlock In the
forest, when one learns to notice the
following points: The spruce has stiff
pointed leaves Cor short needless, its
bark scales are never bright red, and
the cones-smaller than those of the
pines hang down on the branches.
The hemlock, on the other hand. has
soft fat needles, often two-ranked,
that is, growing on two sides of the
stem, so that the sprig has fat
tened appearance; hemlock bark
scales look red, when broken off, and
the dainty little cones stand erect on
their branches, falling apart soon
after rlpenlng, so that no old cones
long remain on or under the trees
where they grew. Lumber from the
two trees may be distinguished by re-
membering that that of the spruce is
white in color, while hemlock wood
retains its faint reddish tint.

Ruddy was the leader. The lesson
was we'll prepared and much interest
manifested by the large number in

Topeka, Kan, who for several years
was president of the club.
The club created fund for home
relief work and also voted $40 for

in the war-stricken country they
would gladly make the donation. 1t
is hoped that other organizations in
the county will take similar action.

DEATH OF MRS. BLACK.

Mary Margaret Woods was born
Nov. 9Th, 1S43, in Dearborn county,
Indiana, and when nine years of age
came with her parents to Muscatine
county, where they lived until 1886.
She was married to James M. Black
in 1852, and when they came to Au-
dubon they settled on the farm now
occupied by her son, B. j. Black, in
Melville township. Four children

For some Long time Mrs. Black had
