Jasper County Democrat, Volume 3, Number 43, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 February 1901 — Jules Verne. [ARTICLE]

Jules Verne.

Jules Verne is an officer of the Legion of Honor. There are many others who wear this distinction, and there is nothing noteworthy about this fact except that the decree conferring the honor upon him was signed only two hours before the fall of the empire. His well-known book, “Round the World In Eighty Days,” has brought his publishers about $2,000,000 and to himself a goodly share of the proceeds.
