Louise seyenteen-both deIiciousIy
young and fun of life. The
mystery of the night wove a
magic spell around them. Both
were enchanted.
Followed years of happiness.
Louis insisted that everybody
should respect the woman he
adored. He placed her beside
him near the throne; he showered
her with favors; conferred upon
her the title of "Duchesse." But
the wonder of her destiny left
her beautiful soul untouched.
Four children were born to them,
only two surviving, a daughter,

Many had tried to dethrone
Louise, and had failed. The Kings
love seemed exclusively hers. But
the inevitable day came when an
other supplanted her. and then
began her long martyrdom. She
wished to retire to a convent,
but with unbelievable cruelty
Louis refused to permit It,
Louise, one of the most sensi.

compelled to witness the triumph
Of her rival. She was forced by
the triumphant Athenais to hold

However, the gates Of the con-

; buzzing. and before we knew it a
whole swarm of bees came flying
toward us. Billy had disturbed a
family reunion.
Mrs. Bee was very courteous.
She stopped politely to speak
to us.
We chatted and I explained
why we were out there:
81 am provoked at that good
for-nothing Billy Bear. Do you
know what the rascal did? He
came right into our kitchen, went
straight to the icebox and ate up
all the honey 1 had in the jar
the honey I wanted to put on my
waffles for breakfast
What a shame!'' murmured
Mrs. Bee.
/ thought it was funny. She
said no more. But I did notice
her give some orders to some of
the bees as she flew away, and
she certainly had peculiar
twinkle In her eyes.
We waited awhile for Billy
Bear, then we got tired and
trudged home.
II told you fellows that was a
wild goose chase-Billy Bears a
humbugw I said GROSSLY. What
good did it do us to go away off
there in the dark? A lot of honey
Mrs. Bee gave us!'
But I had to take it all back
the next morning. For what do
you think! When I looked in the
honey jar, which we had left on
the table, it was damned packed
full of the most delicious honey
you ever tasted. My, it was good!
Mrs. Bee had sent some of her
family over to our house before
We were up, and they had filled
the jar Billy Bear had emptied.
And weren't those waffles good
with the fresh from the hive"
honey that morning!

THE NEED OF
VEGETABLES
EGETABLEs are an essen

EGETABLES are an essen
tial in the diet. Most peo-
V pie ought to eat more OF
them than they do particularly
the leafy green vegetables. They
should be eaten daily.
If green vegetables are in
cIuded in the diet one is not likely
to develop anaemia. or an i'm
poverished condition of the blood.
Ir the treatment of this condition
these vegetables are essential.
The vitamInes, iron and other
valuable mineral matter contained
in the vegetables make them
most important food.
The vegetables, being more or
less bulky, act as roughage and
thus favor elimination.
Peopie who frequently have a
sensation of hunger between meals
are oftentimes those who do not eat
enough vegetables. When they do
not eat any vegetables at a
meal they are apt to feel quite
famished before they get their
next meal.
This sort of thing directly favors
eating between meals, which is
pernicious habit and one of the
commonest causes of indigestion
and more serious disorders of the
digestive organs. Children seem
to be particularly upset in this
manner If there is a deficiency in
vegetables in their diet.
The use of butter and oil on
vegetables makes up for their
lack of fat and at the same time
makes them more palatab le
Cream is also used for the same
reasons.

A NATION MOURNS
The President Is Dead.

The death of President Harding
and the assumption OF the Presid
ency by Calvin Coolidge is national
history fl the. making for the past
week.
just one brief week ago Warren
G. Harding, apparently on the slow
road to recovery, is suddenly strick-
en- by death and called to his re-
ward AS suddenly Calvin Coolidge
in the midst of his Summer vacation
is called upon to assume the reins
of government.
Two striking pictures are flashed
upon the Silver Screen of History
In magnificent hotel in the
great metropolis Of the west coast
man of humble spirit and tried
integrity lies in quiet dhaniber
several stories above the avenue.
Below the rush and changer OF a
great city echoes through the street
Crowds of business peOpleand pleas
ure seekers swarm in the corridors
of the hotel itself But here in the
sick chamber peace and quiet relgns
AT the bedside OF the sick man sits
his wife reading to him the brief
annals of transient world. The
sick man listens with interest and
as the voice of the reader ceases'
he eagerly whispers. Good, read
some more" 1t is his last utterance
on earth. The great newspaper
editor of Ohio, anon the nations
chief, who spent many years of his
life in providing interesting news
for his readers. has his own last
moment of enjoyment on earth out
of the printed word.
The stricken wife. calm and
patient through sickness and
death, quietly summons the chief
executives Staff and other friends.
The tragic news flies out into the
streets and over the wires to a
startled and saddened nation and
world. A nation is plunged into
sorrow.
There is another picture across
the continent. an ordinary New
England Farm house far from the
nearest railway station. In a upper
chamber lies peaceful sleeper,
quietly resting after busy day on
the farm Reassuring reports from
the west coast has allayed all
alarm. He believes the president is
recovering A great brooding rest
fulness settled on the homestead
The horses in the barns, the COWS
in the pasture, the chickens roOst-
ing in the trees of a warm August
night are all doing through the
midnight hour. Within the house
silence likewise reigns. Then sud
denly a knock at the door. An
aged man is awakened from his
light sleep and answers the call.

Long Live. The President.

In Calvin Coolidge we find {
Puritan of the New England stock
man rugged of character and con
1sefvative In spirit. He has aheie
some sort of office all his life, is .
good orator, and is well informed
as to the needs of the country. He
knows and will carry out to the
full the plans of the late incum
bant of the office. The relns OF the
government could not have fallen
into more competent hands.
All day yesterday the body OF
the late president lay in state at
the Nations Capitol and tomorrow
the last remains will be buried In
the cemetery lot at Marion. Presi-
dent Coolidge issued a proclamation
to the American people to keep to.
Observation-Disclosures q day OF
mourning and prayer.
The passing of Harding has thrown
the Republican party into a state
of. political chaos Little will be
done till after the funeral tomorrow
but already under the surface,
politics are seething.
II was generally agreed that Mr..
Harding would be the choice of the
Republican party to succeed him.
self in the election OF 1924. All
other would-be candidates held
themselves in unwilling allegiance.
But now we may look for scram-
Bile. Several hats will be in the
ring.
The Republicans have some ex-
cellent material but for one rea-
son or another it is doubtful if any
of the personages now in the public
eye will be chosen. Hiram johnson
is a little too radical for the east.
Charles Hughes is u strong man as

paigner Herbert Hoover served the
nation well during the war but the
Republic easily forgets and
Hoover is no begger. Judge Ken
yon of Iowa Is being put forward
but so are dozen other men as
well known locally. President
Coolidge himself may be a candi
date. all the more powerful be-
causee he is late in the field. But
at this day and hour there is no
outstanding leader to take up the
ensign from the hands OF the fallen
standard bearer.
