renamed the Natalie and sent to Cal
ifornia. For a while she did coast
guard duty Then she passed into
the hands of Mexican smugglers.
December 81, 1S43, the Natalie cast
anchor in Monterey bay. Monterey,
which has seen three flags, was then
the sleepy little capital of California.
The coming of the Natalie was an
event. That night officers and men
went ashore for a fiesta in their honor
A terrific Northwestern swept into the
bay, tore the Natalie from her moor
ings and cast her up on the sands
about 200 feet from the site of the
present railroad station. Capt. Jose
Abrego salvaged what he could and
built himself a house that is now one
of the historical landmarks of mod
ern Monterey. The dismantled wreck
was left to sink into the sands.
Finally along came a French naval
officer who identified the Natalie as
Napoleon's Inconstant. Now, every
ten years or so Monterey bay has
phenomenally low tide. In the sos
relic-hunters took advantage of
tide that exposed the carcass of the
Inconstant and snagged out a portion
of the bow. This is now in the Golden
Gate Park museum of San Francisco.
Ten years ago timbers of various
kinds were pulled out.
Last fall there was another of these
low tides and the bones Of the Incon-
slant made what is probably their last
appearance. j. j. Leppert, black
smith, got together some friends and
fools and salvage work went on until
the flood tide drove the party ashore
The salvage includes:
Eleven knees, four balks of teak
wood measuring 8 by 10 by 80 inches,
two lockwood timbers with a metal
porthole plate bolted to them, four
timbers of a white wood and quart
measure full Of copper bolts, brass
washers and copper nails.
The II knees L-shaped timbers
used to join the ribs to the keel-are
Of teakwood Hard as stone, bear
ing sea-green bloom, these balks
are in perfect condition. The four
white-wood timbers are of spruce and
orc also sound.
Let us suppose-for the sake of the
story-that the bronze plate is that of
the portfolio through which the4great
Napoleon anxiously scanned the hor-
ZION as the Inconstant bore him swift
ly to France. to hiss triumphant entry
of Paris, to the glories of the hundred
days-and to Waterloo And let us
rejoice that the motto of our coins,
I'm God we trust" is in no small part
justified by such an extraordinary
event as the Louisiana Purchase!

made the western boundary of the
new nation, the navigation of that
river to be free to the colonies. But
the Americans soon found that New
Orleans was practically closed port
to them. So President Jefferson sent
Monroe and Livingston to France as
mouth of the Mississippi for $1,000
600.
In the meantime Napoleon had seen
visions of himself both as master of
the Old world, and as a founder of an
American empire to replace the one
lost to the British He had forced
Spain to cede back to France the
Louisiana Territory and he planned to
colonize north from New Orleans along
the Mississippi. SO he kept the Amer
lean commissioners twiddling their
thumbs, while he went on with his
colonization plans. But partial disas-
ter befell his expedition in the West
Indies. In addition he was confronted
by war with Britain. Forced to choose
between colonization and war, he
chose war. So he evolved a clever
scheme to kill two birds with one
stone: Fill his war chest and plant q
thorn in the side of England. There
upon he said in effect to the Ameri-
can commissioners
Here, take the whole Louisiana
Territory for $4,000, 000-and be quick
about It'll"
Napoleon actually made the Ameri-
can commissioners agree to the pur-
chase, in spite of the fact that they
had no authority even to discuss the
matter. When Monroe and Livingston
reported to Jefferson he was aghast.
The East stormed in protest. There
was only about S25,000,000 in circula-
ton in the whole country. The issue
nearly disrupted the new nation. But
the West was as pleased as the East
was displeased. Congress actually rat
flied the Louisiana Purchase. There

French warship Inconstant, ON which
Napoleon escaped from Elba, only to
see his dream of recaptured Empire

lilies of Waterloo and st. Helena. You
will find these relics scattered along
the coast of California from San Fran

And how did relics of the Inconstant
come to be scattered along the Cali

be here told
And why should a good American

other story and the nub of 1t is this /:
George Washington's first Thanksgiv-
sng Proclamation insists upon the in
terpOsition of Providence in the affairs
of the new nation, dedicated to liberty
and equal opportunity for all men.
President Calvin Coolidge, in a recent
public address, made an emphatic dec
laration of his belief in the continued
interposition of Providence. Many an
other American patriot and statesman
has publicly expressed the same be-
lief
In fact, 1t is hard for a student of
American history to escape that con-
clusion. Providens many times
seems to have raised up the man to
meet the emergency-men like Wash

Grant.
But what will You say to the propo-
sition that Providence worked in be-
half of the new nation through Ma

IA Well, here's the why and wherefore
of the proposition: At the close in
1759 of the century-long struggle be-
tween the English and French for SUI
nremacy on the North American con-
tinent, the French bilked the British
of part of the spoils of victory by Sc
cretiy ceding the vast territory west

Plum Cake.-Take one pound of
light bread dough warmed slightly,

one and three-quarters cupfuls of
flour, mixed spices to taste, little
extract of lemon, or better, the grated

Court BouiIIon.--Take four quarts
of water, one onion, one slice of car

herbs. Tie the onion, carrot. cloves
and herbs in piece of muslin and
put into the water with the other in
gradients. Cover and simmer for one
hour; now add a fish which is to be
boiled and cook as usual. Tie the fish
in a thin cheesecloth to keep it from
breaking. This method gives a fine
flavor to fish. Serve with any good

Buying Today in Selected Is

NEW YORK, May 26.-While trad
ing in the general list went on quietly
today, there was animated buying in
selected issues, low-priced rails, GER.

obligations, principally South Amer
lean.
Bolivia IS made a new high record
for the past two years, selling up to
81, compared with 94%, Mondays
close. Montevideo Is made a new
top for this year. There was no spe-
cial news affecting either of these
bonds. 1t was simply a case where
the advance elsewhere had made these
high yields seem out of line. On the
other hand, Argentine IS reacted from
their high of the day before on the
announcement that a new Argentine
loan of $45.000,000 is about to be Of
fered. European bonds were little
changed.
Railroad Liens Mixed.

bonds were steady, but Chicago Great

were in demand, especially Union Bag

Permanent Frost Damage to

CHICAGO, May 26.-AIthough sell
ing to realize profits brought about
early declines in price today for
wheat, and for other grain as well,
the wheat market later scored an ad-
vance. General desire to take profits
acted at first as more than a counter
balance for higher quotations on
wheat at Liverpool. However, wheat
here rallied sharply after reports were
received that considerable permanent
damage to the Spring wheat crop in
the Northwest had been done by the
recent freeze up, and that very heavy
losses are imminent unless Northwest
rains come soon. Chicago opening
prices on wheat, varying from IA
decline to l advance, May, 1.72A and
July, Lei to 1.62,, were followed by a
series Of downturns and reactions
with the market going as low as 1.69s4
for May and LEO for July, but then
rising to 1.72A May, and 1885 July.
Further frost expected tonight
made corn and oats relatively stable
as compared with wheat. After open
ing unchanged to IL lower, July,

derwent a moderate general sag and
