^ | The Fail of the Empire I [Copyright, lb(te, by American Press Association.] The young soldier-king's ambition was towering. At thirty he found him- 1 self the first general of his age. Not content with being muster of his own kingdom, he sought to make himself master of all kingdoms within his reach. While the king's traits were Napoleonic, ihere was one trait that was net Napoleonic. Napoleon, while he was a gallant, never permitted any i woman to Influence him in matters of rovernment. He wits not tifraid of the ! fair sex and took no precautions against women. The soldier king, on the contrary, feared their seductions, j lie was aware that they governed the world and considered that it would he impossible for him to build up the empire he intended if he were himself I governed by a woman. A bachelor, lie j proposed to remain a bachelor. And for fear that he would he captured he I permitted only the homeliest woms • . ; come near him. On one occasion wl he was told that a young girl had come j to his tent to lu-g for protection from Ills soldiers he asked, “Is sin- comely?" ; When answered in the aflirmative Inreplied. "Then let her be veiled.” There was one petty duchy, Ilisteria. still unconqucred which was Important to the soldier-king. From its geographical position It was the main link in | the states from which the empire was to he formed. Though small, its con- 1 quest would be dllficult. for its terri tory constituted an elevated plateau whoso only approaches wore thr- a rh mountain defiles. The king sent a do mand for its submission. A reply was returned that the duke would yield to the Inevitable If the king would grant certain conditions. If not he would d< fend his dukedom till every man in it had been killed. The king then sent a messenger to ask the conditions. A reply came that they would t:;ly be pre-ented at a meeting to take place between the two sovereigns. Midway up a defile leading to the dm by was a pocket well adapted fnr.-t place of conference. The duke proposed that ho and the king meet there and discuss the terms by which his domain should pa-; under the king’s rule. The king might bring all the guard ho wished. The duke pledged himself to go alone. The king, unwilling to be outdone In an exhibition of eonfideni-e. declared that be, too, would go alone and unarmed. All these matters having been adjusted, the king rode, with a small guard, to the mouth of the defile, where he left them and proceeded' to the rendezvous. The duke was seen coming down the mountain, an old man >\ith n (lowing white beard and hair. The sovereigns met at the door of a pavilion that had been erected for the conference. The duke produced a gold en key, unlocked the door and .motioned the king to enter. When inside the duke relocked the door. This startled the king, but he said nothing. Surely If treachery were Intended ho was a match for this feeble old man. Then the duke h-d the way into a handsomely furnished room, in the center of which were a table and writing mate rials. At one end of the apartment blazed an open fire. The duke threw the golden key In among Hie burning logs. It Immediately Ignited. For a moment the king stood In wonder tit seeing gold burn, then rushed forward to rescue the key. He was too late. “It was of wood, your majesty.” said tlic duke, “and gilded. We are shut tt] here together for this conference. N< i then can depart, for there is no open ing except the door with It is locked and no key with which to unlock it. I.et us proceed to business." As the duke spoke the last words hr throw his hat on the floor, pulled off tt white wig and false heard, divested himself of his ducal robes and stood before the king In superb dress, a woman of transcendant beauty. “1 l was to meet the duke,” stammered the king, drawing back. "I a in the sovereign of Ilisteria. M.\ father has abdicated in my favor.” Th.- king put his hand before Ids face to shut out the vision of loveliness. ••These are my terms.” continued the duchess, "the only terms on wb’ch 1 shill surrender. I will pay your maj ty bon pieces of gold annually atribute for ten years.” The king made no reply, hut. drop plug Ids hands, stared at the symmetrical creature. Her features were those of a cameo, her complexion that of white and red roses, and her eyes were a marvel of loveliness. “Your grace.” he said, dropping on Ids knee. ”1 am at your mercy." The duchess pointed to the writing materials. The king wrote: The Independence of the duchy of Ilisterta Is acknowledged and guaranteed. The duchess read and turned her great eyes, lit by tt heavenly smile, on the monarch. Then, touching a spring in the table, a drawer flew open. Site seized a key and started for the door. The king followed and caught her in his arms. She looked hack, and het Ups were pressed by Ids. When the king rejoined his attendants he was a changed man. He knew that the lands he had conquered would always be liable to be wrested from him without the duchy of Ilisleria One by one they received back their sovereignty, and when the last was made Independent It was announced that the king was about to be married The soldier-king made the Ihichessol lllsteila his queen, and lie did not get her till every country ho had conquered had been made free. HAROLD OTIS.

HOW HE SLEPT.

His E: perience With a Noiiy and Persistent Cuckoo Clock. Wet z recently was presented with an > Id fashioned clock. That evening he hung it on his liedroom wall, wound it up and after admiring it awhile went to sleep. He was drifting into very pleasant dreams when he was

startled.

"Coo-coo. coo-coo!" Wet ? sat up with a start, but In an 'ant recovered Ids wits and listened p> eiv.lit more coo-coos with a foolish rln Then he lay back and went to sleep again. t He had cot Into a fine doze by thetime the thing went tiff again. This time he didn't grin. Wertz is a light sleeper, and. though he tried to get used to the thing, he gave tip after the cuckoo had announced 2 o'clock and got up and stopped |

the i lock.

Next ev.-ning Wertz junior, who had not seen the clock, went to look at It. | ‘ Why. It’s stopped.” he said. "What Is wrong?” Wertz, senior stroked his chin. "Maybe I didn't wind it this morning." he replied. "Ferd,” he continued generously, "if you will promise to wind tha* clock every morning I'll let you have It for your room.” Wertz junior was delighted, and the transfer was made. At the breakfast table next morning the heir of the house of Wertz looked tired and somewhat sheepish, hut o Tercd no explanation. After considerable g'-netul conversation his fa-

ther said:

'‘You look tired. How did you sleep Inst night?" Wertz junior yawned. "by the In nr." he answered—Kansas City Times.

SAVED THE GIRL. An Old Time Adventure With Solomon Island Cannibals. Mite day on a Solomon beach a little girl ran to me and, before I was aware -i’ it. pin e I my foot on her neck. One knows what this means well enough. In hot war it menus that if a chief allows his f it to re t on the defeated one’s in--k the man’s life is safe, but be is a I ivo foreve:-. rescue or no rescue. I was puzzled at the child’s action. It was soon explained. Shortly afterward down came a lot of villagers and in ; ist“d on taking the youngster. I told them what she had done. They said they did not care. Her mother was lieing cooked in tin* town, and the child should go to the ovens with her. "Never!" 1 -aid. “What! We, who have eaten betel nut together many times, to quarrel for a mere child to whom 1 have granted life In your own way!" I swore they should kill me first. They replied: "Oh. that is nu easy thing to do.” A bold front was the only thing now. Luckily I had my sixteen shooter Springing back and putting a mark on (lie- and with my font, I swore I would hoot the first man who crossed it. They knew I could answer for a dozen if them or so. and, although clubs were up and bows bent, they hesitated, us well they might, and I knew I had 1 ii-rcd them. Then one proposed 1 - Iiottld buy the child fairly. They ared not to fight a friend. To this I at once agreed, and’a muss was thus avoided, nml a mission ax worth ten-petn-e made me a slave owner.— "Among the Man Eaters,” by John <’again.

“1 have known Rev. McConnell for fourteen years and 1 have known nothing but good of him.” It was this remark that characterized Bishop E. H. Hughes' talk in chopel yesterday morn, upon his successor the Rev. F. J. McConnell D. D. of Brooklyn. The bishop was on his way home to San Francisco and had stopped at DePauw for a brief visit. Eager to hear Dr. Hughes again, the students assembled in joint chapel service to do him honor. The bishop led in the usual chapel exercises. His brief address was given up almost wholly to a discussion of his friend. Dr. McConnell. He said in part: “I began my acquaintance with Francis McConnell some years before met him personally. Since then I have known him intimately. He is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan Fniversity and a professor there once said, that Francis J. McConnell is a student, than whom there Is none better. Ho is about five feet, ten inches tall, with black hair and black eyes, and it is safe to say,” and here the eyes of Bishop Hughes began to twinkle, "that he is as good-looking as either of his two immediate predecessors." Then turning to Dr. Uobin he remarked, “You will not object, Dr. Gobin, to be placed in the same class with Dr. McConnell's immediate predecessor.” Then Bishop Hughes made the statement which begins this article, adding that lie hoped Dr. McConnell would receive the support of the students. The bishop will stop at St. Louis to transact some business before continuing bis journey home.

The representatives of the various colleges In the state oratorical association met in Indianapolis yesterday. The first meeting of the stabdelegation is regularly held on the first Friday in November. A. L. James, DePauw’s state delegate this year, was not able to attend the meeting yesterday and Clyde Randel was chosen to go in hk place. Besides DePauw. Notre Dame. Butler, Earlham, Hanover. Franklin and Wabash sent representatives. D<Pauw's man is the preside tit of the association this year. The meeting was held for the purpose of making arrangements for the state contest which is held sometime in February. Tite names of judges were submitted, a hall obtained and the other necessary preliminaries attended to. The orators of the various colleges are already hard at work on their orations for the various contests. In some of the leading schools in sister states the local tryout has been held This is true of Baker University, Nebraska, Wesleyan, Ohio Wesleyan. < Beloit and many others. At Notre Dame, Wabash and Butler the local orators are working hard on their j productions, while Earlham feels confident of being able to again carry away the laurels.
