Probably to the end of time there will
be peraona who believe that they know
what became of the French dauphin
who but for the revolution would
have been Loula XVII Others will
maintain that the official record of bla
death la correct The fate of Arch
duke John of Austria Is likely to re-
main as uncertain as that of the
dauphin The archduke renounced his
royal claims several years ago and
sailed from London for South America
under the name of John Orth Nothing
definite has since been heard of him
or of his ship although be baa been
reported as living In one part of the
world or another says Youth’s Com'
'panion These reports have always
been unverified That the emperor
Francis Joseph the head of the family
thinks bis kinsman may still be living
was disclosed In a lawsuit In Switzer-
land not long ago when In response
to Inquiries by the court It was an-
Bounced that the emperor bad ordered
that the fortune of Archduke John
amounting to 18000000 be kept Intact
till 1917 when It may be divided
among the heirs
Now comes the wall of disappointed
Paris hostesses at the omission of the
"etrennes” those tokens of gratitude
which young men are expected to send
on New Year’s day for hospitalities re-
ceived It has long been a pretty cue
tom for the paying off of small debts
'but this year there has been a falling
off and It la ascribed to the Increasing
selfishness of man In London the rule
Is to take all and give nothing not
even a Christmas card and Parisians
fear the gilded youth they entertain
are taking a leaf out pf this English
custom Formerly It was claimed
however impecunious the young men
In Paris they managed to send or
bring an etrenne to each of their host-
esses whether she was plain or pretty
young or old Now how different! A
few of the most brilliant leaders have
been ‘‘remembered’’ the rest had to
sing small 5
1 The choice of Prof Lowell to sue-
i ceed President Eliot was not a new
I Inspiration It was the fulfilment of
a confident prophecy that has been
current In higher educational circles
1 for a long time Five years ago
James Bryce talking with 'a Boston
2 Ian about Harvard and its distin-
guished head Indulged his fondness
for asking questions by Inquiring who
would be likely to succeed President
Eliot when he retired Prof Lowell’s
name was mentioned among others
and Mr Bryce who has known Prof
Lowell long and Intimately said:
“Yes I have often beard that sugges-
tion and what an admirable selection
It would be!"
The tribute paid to the courageous
wireless operator on the Republic
who forgot his own human needs fn
heroic duty at his post and well-nigh
dropped from exhaustion at It was a
well deserved one Americans have
been called a nation of hero worship-
ers rather should it be said that one
of the national traits Is a generous
eagerness to recognize and applaud
the best and noblest in human nature
The whole nation is strengthened by
such examples i
Who wouldn’t be a president and a
bunting go? Already the millionaires
have preceded Roosevelt to Africa and
have laid their plans to entertain him
In the jungles on an extensive scale
It might be well however for them
to search themselves lest they be in-
cluded among those malefactors of
great wealth for whom he has been
bunting a long time

Pussy Rescued After Licking Whipped
Cream from Cake and Chewing
End of Bologna Sausag and
family Retire Again
Detroit Mich— The baby put the
cat In the refrigerator This fact Is
now well established though the baby
aaid nothing about It at the time
Neither did the rat The baby went
away to attend to other dutlea and
the cat began to lick the whipped
croam off a cake Later the family
retired taking the baby with them
and the cat after gnawing the end
off a bologna aausage cnrled up In
one corner of the Icebox and went to
sleep
For a time silence reigned through
out the house Meanwhile the clam-
my chill of his bedroom was working
through pussy’s fur He stirred un-
easily In his sleep and bis pr-r-r-r-haw
pr-r-r-r-r-haw pr-r-r-r-r-haw became in
termlttcnt and choky Then he
sneezed arose and stretched himself
It was dark In the refrigerator and
while looking about cautiously for the
door the cat stepped In a pumpkin pie
This was wholly unintentional but It
made the cat mad There Is nothing
that Irritates a neat self-respecting
cat like getting something mussy on
his feet So this cat got on his dig-
nity and standing on three legs
kicked out straight and hard with the
sticky foot knocking over the milk
bottle Thomas was angry before
this time be was appalled He had al-
ways been fond of milk but he didn’t
want any now His whole feline soul
went out In revulsion at standing with
all four feet In the sticky mess He
climbed up on a can of kippered her-
ring and putting his mouth down to
the crack In the door he yowled — such
yowl
Tom was proud of his voice Many
time be bad sat on the back fence
The Air Seemed Filled with Milk Bot-
tles Kippered Herring and Pie
In the moonlight and listened to It
with thrilling satisfaction but that
was just amusement He had never
let it out then to the full power of Its
deep diapason This time he was
in earnest and he got on the heavy
pedal with all feur feet The result
loosened the rivets In the lining of
the refrigerator
It was one prolonged quavering de-
spairing yowl that seemed to start In
the basement and creep along the
halls until it re-echoed back from the
rafters of the garret It brought every
member of the family out of bed In-
cluding the baby who iu the mean-
while had forgotten the incident of
shutting up the cat
A search was begun- but thtj sound
proved elusive One member of the
family would insist that It came from
clothes press on the second floor
while another was sure it originated
in the canned fruit locker down cellar
Every one of these places was ran-
sacked and their contecis strewn over
the floors of adjacent rooms but still
no cat
‘‘There is just one place left where
he can be” declared an elder son
“that’s In the cold air shaft to the
furnace”
“Oh shucks said everybody else
but as they had no better theory to
offer the young man got a plumber
who got busy and after much ham-
mering succeeded in unjointing the
big pipe and bringing down a Bhower
of dust and ashes — no cat
Then an inspiration came to baby
Not that he recalled where he put the
cat— oh no The whole subject of the
cat had lost its zest for him “Mam-
ma” said he “I want Jink milk” The
mother too was beginning to think
that the search for the cat must be
put over to the next day and the fam-
ily went back while mother opened
the refrigerator door
For a moment the air seemed filled’
with cats milk bottles kippered her-
ring and pumpkin pie When the at-
mosphere had cleared up and the hole
in the kitchen window had been
plugged where the cat made his exit
the family gathered up the squalling
Infant who had been upset In his pet’s

the “kite” full In the back and It

Only Johnson held on to the brace

Sometimes the kite dipped some-
times soared higher Once It arose to

but he held on for dear life His yells
could be heard on the river several
tugs set up a loud whistling of alarm
It seemed certain that If the wind
failed' suddenly the kite would crash
down on the roadway or against some
of the crossbeams or girders But the
wind shifted quickly and hurled the
kite flat against the railing of the

Jerrytown Pa — Henry Waugh was
