THE WOMAN WHO KILLED A
GENIUS.

A NY one in the least familiar with
4 4 the writings of Honore de Bal
FAC, perhaps the greatest novelist of
france, must have been stirred by the
white heat of his Imagination. Just
conceive such a man at the age Of
th1rty-three, on the tide of his first sue
cess. He was being acclaimed every
where. Letters poured in from admir-
ers. Among these was q simple mis-
sive signed 1.-THE Stranger" mailed
from Odessa. A woman had written it.
In this letter the unknown invited
BalZac to answer her through a news
paper advertisement. Eagerly he did
So and soon another letter came. The
writer was Evelina Hanska, the young
wife of man twenty-five years older,
and mistress of great fortress-like
castle in the Ukraine, Russia. The
burning words of Balzac drew her to
Neufchatel. Picture to yourself how
both must have felt before and after
they met. She was tall, elegant, high
born. He was fat, short and not hand
some. He says himself that she drew
back astounded when she saw him.
But 1t was not long until the woman
saw in the mans remarkable eyes the
genius which was his. They loved and
parted, she returning to her lonely
castle and he to endless work.
Certainly the love of Balzac must
have been a tribute which pleased the
fancy of Evelina Hanska. But her
heart seems to have been as cold as
her castle walls. The two correspond
ed, and she tOyed with the great man.
There was her husband, whom she
would not leave. Balzac assented and
saw her at infrequent intervals over
a period of years. But though she
would not leave her hoary husband
she would not let go of Balzac. Her
letters teased, cajoled, and led him on,
followed by her reproacheS tears, jeal-
ouSy.
For seventeen years Balzac's devo-
ton endured. Nine. Hanska's cOquetry
was the great sorrow of his life. Then
the husband died. She wrote to him
and he went off to that bleak Russia
where she lived. Again there were
delays. She would promise nothing.
He came back to Paris and after more
letters again started for Russia. 1t
was in March, 1850 that he arrived,
his heart almost CONCEALED by the cold.
And at last his evil genius consented
to bestow upon him the happiness he
had sought so long. They were mar
ried and started for France in April.
But Balzac was near the end. In
Dresden he fell seriously ILL., She went
out shopping and returned with won
drOus string of pearls.
But Balzac rallied and they went on
to Paris. There he had prepared
rare home for her, filled with art treas.
ures. He, at least, was happier than
he ever had been. She revealed in the
Paris shops. Five months later Bal
FAC died, victim of the Russian cold
on weakened heart. When the end
came his wife chad gone to her ROOM"

which we consider was the Fifth cen

has advanced very little beyond the
point reached By that group which
gathered around Aspasia.
She had many loves, and between
times diSC0urSed upon irt and philoso-
ply. Her beauty and her learning were
equally celebrated. Socrates, an eX-
tremely ugly man, forgot his phiioso-
ply in love of this remarkable WOm-
AZ. But she soon put him aside for
PeriCes, the gifted handsome figure
then arising to ascendency. PericleS
studied eloquence at her feet and
learned to love her, too. He divorced
his wife and went to live with Aspasia.

law which forbade a noble Athenian to

from Iona and the people of any other
nation were "barbarians" to the
Athenians' 1t must he remembered
that the creed of the cynics, to which
Diogenes adhered, held hings lightly
and scOlfed at the passions Of ordinary
mankind.
Aspasia's brilliant mind, joined to
that OF the noble pericles, son brought
him. to a foremost position in the
state. He was the greatest ruler Ath-

THESTORY OF
OUR STATES
BY JONATHAN BRACE
IOWA

20 by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate)


T HE State of lowe
MsssNaMSSM L was originally &C.
NI 80 s ssis:.sS cupied by the Iowa
fsLs n<~G1sNl Indians. The actual
sEE&1 meaning of the word
MATT 4fHW has been interpreted
N%ssg# In several ways.
~ Some say it means
beautiful land" but the more likely
derivation is the Algonquin word "aja-
wa" which means across" or beyond"
This was probably applied to this tribe
Of Indians by the Illinois tribes who
were hostile to them, and resided on
the eastern side OF the Mississippi
river. The early white visitors to
this region included Marquette and
Joliet, who landed here on their ex-
plorations of the Mississippi in 1873.
The first settlement was made by q
French Canadian naiaed Julian Du-
buque. He obtained In 1888 large
grant of land from the Indians, where
the city which was named after him
now stands. Here he iourished, min
ing lead and trading with the Indians,
until his death in 1910, when this set
Element was given up.
With the acquisition Of the Louisiana
Purchase in 1903, Iowa, which was a
part Of this huge territory, came into
the hands of the United States from
France. At first Iowa was a part Of
the Louisiana territory, then of Mis-
souri, territory. Later it formed pOr-
tion Of Michigan territory and then Of
Wisconsin territory. In 1898, however,
1t attained a distinct individuality
when it was formed into the Iowa ter
ritory.
Pioneers soon came in large num-
bers and about 1882 a substantial set
Element was made near Burlington,
and Dubuque was founded in 1888. The
population grew so rapidly that in
1916 Iowa was admitted as the TWEEN
ty-ninth state of the Union. It's area
is 56147 square miles and It has thir-
teen presidential electoral votes.
Iowa is familiaely called the Hawk
eye State. This originated through a
suggestion in 1888 to James Edwards,
editor of the newspaper "Hawkeye,"
by David ROrer, who later made 1t
popular by his series of letters signed
"a Wolverine among the Hawkeyes."

FRUIT WILL BE SCARCE.

Phoenix, May.-Except in the Salt River and Yuma valleys, the fruit crop in Arizona this year will be very small, accord ing to report made public yes terday by L.. M. Harrison, local statistician of the United States department of agriculture. Late frosts were blamed for the smallness of the crop.
 Almost total failure of the peach crop in Yavapai, Apache, Navajo. Gila, Cochise and Santa Cruz counties was reported. Yuma county reported it's peach crop to be about normal, while the crop in Maricopa county was reported as 70 per cent of nor nal.
 Yavapai and Santa Cruz re ported their apple crops would be about 50 per cent of normal, while Oochise said it would har- vest 25 per cent of normal crop. Apache and Navajo coun- ties reported their crops would be almost complete failures.
 For the United States the outlook is for poor fruit crop, !" said the report. Severe dam age from April freezes is report ed from nearly all of the prin- cipal producing states. Califor- mia reports considerable damage to the apricot. peach, apple and grape crops in several i'm mportant districts. The New Mexico crop is practically a failure. Idaho, Utah and Colorado report heavy damage from the frosts of April 24 and 25. The outlook for the apple crop in Washington, Oregon and Montana is reported as satisfactory"
 Discussing prospects in other states which do not directly com pete with Arizona in the in dustry, MT. Harrison said that with the exception of apples in New York and peaches in Ala bama, practically all of the friut crops of every state east of the Rocky Mountains had suffered greatly from the frosts. He pointed out that the frosts~ex- tended as far south as Florida. damaging the peach crop in that state.

Prescott, May.-The first ship ments of cattle from this county this spring were concluded yes terday at Cordes and Hillside and a third scheduled in the near future, considerably brightening the local cattle situation.
 The Coburn Brothers Cattle shipped HOO yearlings from Cordes siding to Ely. Neb., moving them to new pasture there and are gathering another bunch of about 1,2OO to be shipped to the Tisdale ranch in Wyoming.
 The Timken cattle company completed the shipment yester- day of 600 head of one, two and three year olds from Hillside, selling them at $32, SIP and s52, for one, two and three year olds, respectively.

 Senator Ashurst of Arizona, spoke most ardently in favor of the farmer element. Demo crats have", he said, lost in the elections because of their at titude toward Free Trade. The day has come when the agricul turalist must be given equal con sideration with the manufac- tures".

REVIVAL OF MINING.

Prescott. May.-Between 50 and 75 new mining claims have been located in the Walnut Grove and Turkey Creek mining dis tricts since the first of the year, according to County Recorder E. A. Mes SwigRin, who sees in the increasing recording of new claims a tendency toward a re- vival of prospecting in general and an indication of the ap- preaching revival of the mining game in particular. Most of the claims located in the Turkey Creek district were silver pros poets.
 Location work, Recorder Nc Swiggin stated is increasing all over the county. Since January 1, approximately 25 new mining claims have been located in the Black Hills district in addition to those located in the Walnut Grove and Turkey Creek coun. try. Locations are being made in smaller numbers in other mining sections of the county.

CATTLE FOR THE YUMA VALLEY

Yuma. May--During the past week about one thousand head of cattle, all feeders from the burnt up ranges of southern Arizona, have been received in Yuma for distribution in the valley. These cattle come to Yuma is very bad condition, but the rich and abundant alfalfa and other feed in the valleys around Yuma will soon fatten and add weight on all these range stock.
 It is expected that several thousand additional head will be received in Yuma during the next two or three weeks. It is expected that enough range stock will be brought to Yuma to consume the surplus alfalfa and grass of the valleys. It pays much better to fatten cattle in the rich fields about Yuma than to ship the hay to the cattle.
