A MODERN D'ARTAGNAN It Is well now and then to let the pother of the tariff; the machinations of the Sugar Trust; the complaint of the weather ana the fluccatious of the stock market a U take card of themselves. In this moat matter of act of practical ages, we are prone to Ret our romance from the sources of the , ten best sellers and the stage. It is doubtful if even Dumas holds the sway that once was his, with the Count of Monte Christo and the redoubtable D'Artagnan. But nevertheless the death of Gen. de Gallif let in France brings back the truth that romance still clings like a lose hope to this age. Twas De Galliflet who jumped gaily from a bridge over the Saone on horse back and disported himself awhile in the water.' He, gallant Gaul, crossed the Russian lines in the Crimean War to kiss a fair young lady who was at that time bis lady love. A few years later in Mexico he led a battallion after grape shot had torn open his abdomen. And then in the Sedan campaign well history becomes more unbelievably strange than ever. Durlng the Commune be gave utterance to the phrase: "I would rather be taken for a great murderer than a petty assasin." Thereupon he let the mob have their fill of lead and shell. In all he seems to have resembled a reincarnation ' of D'Artagnan and Cyrano de Bergerac. It was the latter who composed sonnets while running his opponent through .with his rapier. : ' -'y-y-; ' The most characteristic trait of the hot blooded bravado Is his cynical answer to a .; French compiler of a Who's Who. "I am almost buried, and the most amiable article in the world could not resuscitate me. My biography is of the simplest; It is that of nearly all the soldiers of my generation. Born the 23rd of January, 1830. Entered the service at the beginning of "48. Brigadier-general in August, 70; general of division In May, "75; commandant of an army corps in February, 1879; member of the Upper Council of War in 1881. Wounded a number of times, I shall be retired the 21st of January to make room for generals wo are younger and more meritorious than I. I have no photofp-tSPh. You can buy them at Nadar's. And that is all. I have the honor of being your servant, General Galliflet." In spite of the reductio ad absurdum of all Ufa, today to its lowest commonplaceness it is reassuring to have a real romantic figure now and then. And thoneh de Galliflet may not have the Qualities of a von Moltke he has at least made as great a contribution to the larger, realm of Romance aa ever did the German commander to the German Empire. ;

Items Gathered in : From Far and Near

CONGRATULATIONS! We congratulate the police department upon their action in arresting Mr. Paschke. It is not that we bear any malice or unfrfandly feeling toward him or his employers. It Is that he has been violating the ordiaances which regulate the r. peed of motor vehicles. Mr. Paschke may indeed truthfully plead that there are others who have been violating the law. There are. But it has been more than obvious that Paschke hes been indulging his predilections for speed at the risk of life and limb of the citizens of this town. Indeed, we do cot know whether he has been aware of this but he might have read in the Palladium a week or so ago that other people had noticed his speed mania. Therefore we congratulate the police department. And we hope that in case Harry Paschke has not been enough of an example to other chauffeurs and other owners who are in the habit of exceeding the speed limit habitually, that there will be still other arrests of the same character. Out in Cambridge City they have held the clamps on those with hell-bent tendencies. And it ha.3 come to pass that there is a wholesome respect for the law in those parts. There is one particular part of the city in which there is an especial danger of accidents to the public. That is at the Glen. The absence of sidewalks makes speeding intolerable there. When the speed maniacs let out on the lake drive there is much danger to little children and other pedestrians. Already the demonstrators of one concern have been excluded from the Glen. But if others are' allowed to become public nuisances in practically the only place where the public has to relax, that does not do any particular amount of rood , There are many automobile owners who are particularly careful to uphold the law. A great injustice is done them by the others who disregard all semblance of caution. It is almost as much due to those who are careful as to the public in general that the speed maniacs be impressed that they cannot disregard the law in Richmond. Therefore congratulations.

large professional resources, though it may still be questioned whether the proportion of , successful results justified their employment. No doubt the permanent law officers of the governmen would be capable of carrying on all of its usual causes; in a special campaign of "trust-busting" It was necessary, to back them up with a reserve of special talent.

Pretendering., From the New York Sun. In these days of cool calculation and materialism, pretendering has lost the gloss of the romantic. Although Bilboa and its neighborhood may remain, like the Jacobites in Great Britain after 1745, "true as the dial to the sun, although it be not shined on," their loyalty appears without hope of reward. Pretendering would be now hardly more than a business venture, and stocks In Carlism, limited or incorporated, would scarcely get a bid on any bourse of the world. Spain has been a changeable country, but the present ruling house is strenghtening its foundations and the land is more prosperous than for many years. King Alfonso is getting nearer to the hearts of his people, and Queen Victoria the little English princess, with her wish to emulate Grandmother Victoria, is helping. Verily, quite materially helping; for the little Prince Alfonso, two years old. Infante Jaime, one year old, and Infante Beatrix, one month old, with the blood of Saxe-Coburg-et-Ootha In their veins are three sound reasons for believeing that Carlism at present is as dead as a door knob of the Alcazar of Segovia.

Jail Them. From the Boston Transcript. One year in the penitentiary for the nineteen-year-old joy rider in New York who ran down a woman in front of her own house, inflicting serious injuries, Is the sentence just imposed In the court of ..general, sessions there. The vouth pleaded guilty to assault in

the third degree. The testimony tended

to show that he was Intoxicated at tne time of the accident. If such youths do not deserve substantial punishment it is hard to see where it should be inflicted.

Government Law Business. Wrom the Philadelphia Ledger. The discussion raised in the house of representatives by the large item in the deficiency bill for the payment of "special counsel" was not unreasonable. There are eighty-five United States district attorneys throughout the country, an average of nearly two to every state, and each of these has a number of salaried assistants, it doe seem a legitimate subject of in

quiry why they require so much pro

fessional assistance when there is any

Important prosecution to be undertaken. According to the chairman of the

committee on appropriations, some of

these high priced special couasel ren

dered no active service at? all, being

retained to give y an appearance of

weight to the prosecution that it would otherwise have lacked. f; It must be

recognised that much of this array of

distinguished counsel was called for by the extraordinary activities of the

late administration in instituting pros

ecutlosa against corporaCss with

A NEW MANAGEMENT

It Is Announced That Mrs. Swisher Will Leave the Gennett Theater.

IS A VERY POPULAR WOMAN

It is understood that Mrs. Ira Swisher will not be local manager of the Gennett theater next year. She has received notice from Harry Somers, the new lessee of the Gennett, to the effect that her services will not be required next year as her contract expired this spring. This announcement will occasion

considerable surprise among local people. Mrs. Swisher has acted in the capacity of manager of the Gennett theater for a number of years and has proved her efficiency in the theatrical business. She has always been popular not only among Richmond' people.- but among show people in general, and her courteous treatment to all traveling companies that paid this city a visit

has won for her many friends.

Mrs. Swisher has not stated just

what course she will pursue next year,

It is not known who the new manager will be as no definite announcement

to that effect has been given out yet. Miss AfRe McVicker of New York City, who was the treasurer of the Gennett last year will return again next year, it is said. It is rumored that she will

be the new manager.

TWINKLES

BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. The Extinct Yellow Back. "Thoro'a nni thincr said Mrs. Me-

Gudley, "that shows we're improving."

"What is that?" "They" don't have the yellowback

novels we used to be warned against when I was a girl. It's a great com

fort to look at a lot of literature that

you see on sale and notice nothing but harmless colors such as green and red and purple."

The Surf Bathing Season. Some girls are thin as they can be And some are stockily secure; I never stroll beside the sea And therefore cannot say, for sure.

"I dunno," said Uncle Eben, "wheth

er it's better to have mo' money dan

brains or mo' brains dan money: but heaven help de man dat ain' got any of either.".

No Rural Enthusiast. "So you are tired of the country"' "Yep," answered Farmer CorntosseL "I'm clean dejected about it." "What Is the cause of your dislike?" "I dunno for certain; but I guess it's due to these parrots an cross dogs an' phonographs these city boarders bring around every year."

RECORD HOG PRICE

NATURE'S WARNING.

Richmond People Must Recognize and

Heed It. Kidney ills come quietly mysteriously, But nature always warns you. Notice the kidney secretions. See if the color is unhealthy If there are settlings and sediment, Passages frequent, scanty, painful. It's time then to use Doan's Kidney Pills, - To ward off Bright's disease or diabetes. Doan's have done great work in Richmond. John Morris, 433 Main street, Richmond, Ind., says: "For several years I suffered from backache, the attacks being so severe at times that I could hardly . straighten. The profuse then again scanty passages of the kidney secretions plainly showed that my kidneys were affected and I finally decided to try a kidney remedy." In the spring of 1906, I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills procured at A. G. Luken & Co's drug store and they helped me after other preparations had failed. At that time I told of my experience in a public statement and now I gladly re-endorse the remedy. I have had only one occasion to use Doan's Kidney Pills since my first trial of them and I am glad to say that the results in this case aere as satisfactory as before." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other.

An Article Balzac Didn't Write. Balzac was once asked by a French publisher to write an article on the Rue Richelieu. He named bis terms, which today would not seem excessive, but the publisher considered them outrageous, whereupon Balzac replied: "If I am to describe the Rue Richelieu in a way worthy of the street and of myself I must know it thoroughly and must cot upon any account fail to investigate all that specially characterizes it. I shall have to commence by lunching at the Cafe Cardinal; then I must buy a gun and a cravat pin at the two shops next door to each other. After that I must go to the tailor's at the corner of the Rue St. Marc" "Oh. don't go any farther than that. Interrupted the publisher in alarm. "You would come to the Indian shop next, and things there are a fabulous price!"

A little buy of four was begging to go to see a little neighbor. His mother bad repeatedly refused. Finally sbe said, "Drury. do not ask me If you can go to see Joe naln." Then the child In hie slow way asked. iWeIL mamma, if I could go, how long could 1 stay?" Delineator.

court sitting in the Grant circuit court i yesterday handed down, a decision of importance to a large number of Ma-j

nuu a toijt uio auu uuc tuut. vt in held as a precedent until the higher courts determine the case. Judge Fox found against W. A. Brown, defendant in a case instituted by the Marion Commercial club to compel Brown to pay a subscription he made to the Marion, factory fund. Judge Fox held all subscriptions are valid obligations and the Commercial club can collect. Judge Fox was acting as special judge in the case, which has been in litigation for several weeks. The decision is to be appealed from, as before it was made attorneys for both sides agreed it should be carried to a higher court no matter which may the court might rule. Was to Give $500. Marion's Commercial club endeavored to raise a factory fund of $ 10O.0W. The money was subscribed in a few months and since then attempts have been made to collect the subscriptions. Brown had agreed to give ' of 1 per cent of $500. The subscription was made on a form of contract that had been previously agreed upon. It was provided the money should be paid when the Commercial club disposed of its obligations. The club said the agreement has been complied with in all its details, but Brown had contended differently. It was one of the provisions of the contract the entire amount had to be subscribed before any of the subscriptions became valid. Brown says the entire amount was never subscribed. The case has been one of the most important before tho Grant circuit court for many months. A large number of persons other than the defendant were interested in the outcome. Judge Fox was careful In his preliminary rulings and after his decision had been given said it was in accord with the line of ruling he had pursued throughout the case.
