"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
THE WOMAN WHO USED MAGIC
TO WIN A KING.
BY JAMES c. YOUNG

@ HE was a naughty beauty who cast
- her eyes upon Louis XIV and as
pired to win a place beside him. But
the "Grande M%onarque" would seem to
have paid but little attention to her.
SO the Marquise de Montespan deter
mined to win him by the use of magic,
in which she was d believer. She paid
witches to help her, bought love
powders" which she secretly dropped
into the kings wine, n resorted to
many other foolish means. Then, IN
1866, she had the "black mass" said
over her, a degrading and somewhat
horrible ceremony which alleged
priests of magic had invented.
No doubt the marquise thought that
this mass was successful, for the next
year she became mistress of the king.
Louis, the lover of many women,
| came under the complete subsection of
the marquise. She dabbled in state
| craft, obtained high hOnors for her fa-
| v~orites, and generally comported her.
| self as kings mistresses have been
wont to do in all ages. She coupled an
imperious temper with her beauty, and
no doubt Louis spent many a bad quar-
ter hour In her company, especially as
the marquise and his queen. Marin
Theresa, were at swords point. De
Montespan became the mother of sew
eral children. She selected Madam
| Scarron, afterward the Marquise de
Maintenon. to direct their education.
This threw Louis into the company of
De Maintenon, and it soon became ap-
parent that his love was wavering.
When De Montespan found her pow
er dwindling she resOrted to magic,
and it may be believed that she tried
every conceivable means to maintain
her hold on Louis. Love powders
again came into play and n of thea.
made the king so i'll that she was s1s-
pected of trying to poison him. This
led to an open rupture and not long
afterward she left court. much to the
delight of the queen, who had been
long held in subsection. Maria Theresa
was of a deyout character, a simple,
u~npretentious woman, who never could
cope with the marquise. But her new
D we're destined to be disap-
pointed.
When De Montespan died in 1907
Louis forbade her children by him to
wear mourning, proving once more his
callous heart. There were seven of
these children, all legitimatized, and 1t
was nc pat of the kings plan that
tney should sorrow for a woman who
had been merely their mother.

The School House
Leads Us
BY Richard Lloyd Jones.

Democracy has defects. Our gov
eminent is not without fault. But
with all our faults we have a better
government than anything any other
country in n other cline or time has
ever produced. In time of distress
every people the wide world over hold
out their hands to us for help.
We are a people of big ideas and,
compared to the rest of the world,
small faults. Europe is a continent
encountered with monumental faults
and little ideas.
That is shown quite as much in her
mechanical and inventive ingenuity as
in her parliamentary practices.
The Swiss will make a very intri-
cate and delicate watch which will do
many things,-ring bells, tell the time
of tide, the season of the moon and
still, as the Yankee would say, have a
~saucerful of wheels left over.
We make a pocket piece that keeps
time. That's the main idea. That is
what a watch is for.
The French and the Germans make
more complicated cameras than any
we produce. But we do what they
don't; we put a simple little camera
into every home, and collect the price
less snapshot memories of life as we
live it.
These are but evidences of our ten
denotes. We get a big idea and use it.
Europe and Asia live largely in
darkness because their schools have
been for the select and the masses are
illiterate. They seek to cultivate a
few minds to superlative intelligence.
We do no less, and we do vastly more;
can encourage every mind to go.
Behold the little red school house,
the cornerstone of our greatness. 1t
has done wonderful things for our
country. Now it is going to do more.
Just about the time that Europe and
Asia are beginning to get the essential
idea we are pushing the little red
school houses together into the big
brick, modern. metropolitan Consoli-
dated School, with all it's better equip.
ment, social lessons, assemblies and
better teachers. Now we are making
tho cobool worL, NAV
We are beginning to teach by eye
as well as by ear. The film is going
to be a better story-teller of history
and geography, a better revealer OF
biology and botany than any book.
For a long time we graded our pu-
pills by averages, holding the bright
boy back, which d~iscourages the Slow
boy. But now comes DR.. A. H. Suth-
erland, another pedagogue of distinc'
ton, who out in Los Angeles has dem
onstrated the value of degrading oul
schools so that the slow boy is encour
aged rather than discouraged, helped
rather than handicapped, and the
quick boy is not held back.
We're a long way ahead of the rest
of the world, and we're going to keep
a long way ahead.

for many Ills. Fat people grow thin

These foods when carefully pre-.
pared and balanced will convince the

The amount that a raw-fooder eats
is small; he is quickly satisfied. The
reason is. that the stomach seems to
know that it has enough and tele-
graphs the fact to the taste and he
finds himself satisfied.
With a good meal Of raw foods you
have a sensation of taste never before
experienced and you feel you are eat.

You assimilate every bit, find your.
self feeling good after the meal,
brain clear, wits nimble, and when re.

AS a child. didn't you like to 20

turnips and carrots and eat your fill
With the sharp grinders of childhood
those vegetables were quickly reduced
by mastication and well digested.
Raw cabbage mixed with cream and

another delicious salad combination.
Water cress, cheese nuts. celery and
onion, will make another.

CALIFORNIA JOE'S JOKE ON THE

California Joe was a man of mys-
terry. His real name Is unknown, som
saying it was Joseph Milmer, and 9TH
ers asserting 1t was Hawkins. What
ever Ii may have been made little diff
ference In his fame. for his title OF
California Joe al known from Can

river to the Pacific coast. One of the
traits Of this quaint old scout was his
fondness for a practical joke. and
many d long days march In the Indian
campaigns was made lighter for the
officers he served by one of his pranks.
One time during the Sioux war of
1876. while he was scouting for Col.
Arson Mills, he discovered an old
grave along the trail. Joe stopped,
took off his hat and bowed his head
reverently. The soldiers Immediately
did the same and asked him the rea-
son for his act.
This here Is the grave of poor
Amos Billings" said Joe. "He was
with me back In 1886 when we dug
gold In the Black Hills. We got SO
much that we had all our pockets
full, and even our mules wuz loaded
to tn las pound. One night we
camped right on this spot, and tibet
night poor Amos took the cramps.
Lordy how he did suffer Is awful for
me to think on now. We done all wa
could but the poor Teller died tibet
night.

carry, so we jest buried Billings dust

and rushed to poor Amos Billings"

bones but no gold. poor Amos Bill

army as a scout and was m of Der.
dams sh~arpshooters in Virginia. He
drifted West again and became tho
favorite scout of General Custer who
made him chief of scouts In the WASH
ita campaign In 1867.
After scouting for Crook In the
campaign of 1876, Joe became a min,
err in the Black Hills and was killed
there by an unknown assassin Decem-
