DIES OF SLEEPING SICKNESS
London, May 14.?M. Paoli, tht
(leneral secretary of the French Perf
-cture of Police, who has just died ol
sleeping sickness was known the
world over as "the guardian of kings,
rle was attached to all royal visitors
to France as guide and protector, and
field 45 decorations and gifts from
royal personages.
Queen Victoria regarded him as ar
intimate friend. He was her constant
companion when she went abroad, and
is "my old and dear friend," she
oecially invited him to her Diamond
Jubilee festivities.
"Her Majesty had a heart of gold,"
*-e said once. Many and many a time
I warned her that such and such an
appeal for charity was thoroughly undeserving,
but usually she would reply
with a smile:
"Paoli, it is better to make mistakes
at times than to refuse to aid those
who say they are in misery".
At Nice, in 1896, the Queen called
Paoli to her aud said, "I have always
regretted not being able to repay tho
.:iany kindnesses you have 8howered
on my by giving you a decoration. Aa
t ngliah decorations may not be given
to foreigners, I have created a new
''rder, and you are the first foreigner
to receive it." With that the Queen
vinnded her guardian the Cross of the
f.oyal Victorien Order.
Th? late King Edward had also a
d^ep affection for M. Paoli. When
}':toli wrote his "Memoirs" the King
a corrected the proofs with his own
hand, as he liad done previously when
I aoli wrote a book as a tribute to
Queen "Victoria. Once at a theater
in Paris Paoli pointed out to King
Krlward, who was in a bov, that King
I.eopold of Belgium was in the stalls.
"I am charmed to hear it", replied
fhe King, and from that moment look-,
d the other way,/and left before the
play was over.
In the vestibule afterwards Paoli I
paid his respects to King Leopold. !
"We have had a parterre of kings
' his evening, sire", he said. "Did you
know that tho King of England was
also here?"
"Indeed!" replied Leopold with
"eigned astonishment. "I should have
iked to have shaken hands with him
had I known.*'
But the director told Paoli soon
afterwards that King Leopold was
>ware of King Edward's presence, for,
na he said, "I told him myself."
When Nasr-ed-Din, Shah of Persia,
-. as in Paris he wanted very much to
te an execution. This was duly "arnnged"
by the never-failing Paoli.
Hut the Shah at the last moment felt
a sudden pity for the murderer.
"Not that one-the other!" he cried,
i-.nd selected (the public prosecutor).
King George 1, of Greece made a
Journey one uay to Culoz with only
Hie faithful Paoli in attendance.
At the station an old woman mistook
the King for a porter and made
him fetch her basket of vegetables
ind get her ticket. She could not understand
why he refused her tip.
Some "ladles of the fish market"
t Nice, relates Paoli in one of his
ooks, presented a bouquet to Queen
"lary of England the Duchess of
'orkt They were shy, and at pi loss
*hat to do next, so Paoli said:
"Go and kiss that gehleman over
here", pointing to Colonel Carington.
The Princess laughed till the tears
an down her cheeks as the flung
hemselves upon the equerry.
M. Pafili, who was a Corsican was
?nrn in 1835.
PLANT VELVFT
BEANS IN CORN
Clemson College, May 27.?The 38
per cent decrease in the wheat crop,
together with a tremendous shortage
f other foods, makes it imperative
'hat the farmers shall make every
ore planted to other crops than cot4
on, produce the maximum of food
nd feed. Unless this is done a food
amine will be the certain result.
Corn will occupy a large acreage in
T.outh Carolina this year as usual;
ut com planted alone does not prouce
the land's maximum of food and
"eed. It has been shown that when
gumes are grown with corn, a larger
' "?tal amount of food and feed can bo
reduced than with corn alone. Vel'
ct beans surpass all other legumes
ror this purpose, and therefore every
ere of com in the state this year
<'iould be planted to this crop.
The greatest yield of velvet beans
' i alwava secured hv nlnnt.iji? ent-lv
' i the spring, but they interfere less
v ith the growth of corn when plant1
about one month after the corn,
his latter practice is advocated this
ear, for in this way a large amount
f forage for winter grazing will be
cured in addition to a good corn
rop.. The corn should be gathered in
November and. the cattle turned in
-s soon as frost falls.
The velvet beans should be planted
'a the com rows unless the com has
- ".n planted far enough apart to al'?
tho beans to be planted in the
twiddles. Two seed planted to a place,
' u- feet apart in the rows, will re fre
about 10 pounds of the small
*"eded variety and about 17 pounds o(
the large jeefded varieties per acre.

RETURN OF AMERICAN
DEAD TO BEGIN SEPT. 15
k
Washington, May 29.?(By the Asi
soclated Press.)?Under an agree'
ment reached /with the French govi
eminent, the return of the American
1 soldier dead from the military zone
, in France will begin after September
15th.
l Ralph Hayes, assistant to Secretary
; Baker, recently returned from a mis[
sion to France to complete arrangei
ments, has reported that French ob1
ections finally were waived in April,
removals to be limited to those bodies
1 for the return of which relatives had
specifically asked.
Mr. Hayes reaffirms the policy of
the war department to defer to wishes
of relatives completely. Returns from
inquiries sent out show that 59 per
cent of those who replied asked that
the bodies be brought home. Those
which remain in France will be "fittingly
and tenderly'' cared for by the
government in tieids of honor purchased
for thaf purpose. The report
deals at length with arrangements for
acquisition, location and preparation
of these.
The report refers to charges that
the motive behind the proposal for return
of the soldier dead was "the
propaganda of the undertakers and .
coffin makers," and the further
charges that activating the movement
to keep the bodies abroad was "the
hope of the French to make their
presence a source of constant and substantial
financial revenue."
"Specific and sufficient data," says
the report, "has not yet been adduced j
to indicate that either fear is borne i
out in fact.'' It adds that while some (
undertakers conducted a movement <
for the return of the bodies they were ]
repudiated "by the recognized asso- ]
ciation of reputable funeral direc- j
tors" and ,that "it is not true that <
there exists now in France any gen- (
erally prevalent effort to capitalize (
financially, American burial places." <
Mr. Hayes recommended that the <
permanent fields of honor be located i
at Romagne, Belleau and Suresnes in ]
France, the dead to sieen there with- .
out "serration into distinctive loca- i
tions on the basis of rank." Head- i
stones and markers should be uni- ,
form, and erected by the government 1
on advice of a war memorial council ;
to be composed of representatives of j
all interested veterans and other or- <
ganizations. Arrangements should
be made similarly, he reported, for i
erection of hostess houses to accom- j
modate relatives of the dead \&ho 1

Describing: his visit to all t]
points where American dead now 1
in France, Mr. Hayes said he aa
many touching: evidences of the cai
individual citizens and small con
munities were bestowing on tl
graves.
Objections of the French author
ties to waiving the rigid regulatioi
in force against removal of any of tl
dead of whatever nationality froi
the roilitaiy zone were based o
practical reasons, Mr. Hayes repori
ed. These included unwillingness t
discriminate between Americans ' an
the dead of other nationalities, moi
numerous and much more difficult c
identification; fear of the effect upo
an already "badly strained civilia
morale'' movement of long funen
trains would have; uncertainty as t
the hygenic effect so great an undei
taking; shortage of railway equip
ment and the already congested cor
dition of railroads in the militar
zone due to reconstruction activitiei
Vnder the agreement reached, Mi
Hayes reported, the American g<r>
erament assumes responsibility fo
adequate sanitary precautions, to b
approved by the French authoritie
and for making minimum demands o
rail equipment, not over 100 cars fo
the purpose to be in use at any on
time. These and other rolling stocl
and terminaf facilities will be use*
on a rental basis.
IMPROVED CONDITIONS
4 OF LIVES TOO
Clcmson Collegeg. May 27.?The re
ports of the Bureau of Crop Esti
mates show that there has been a de
cided decrease in mortality and gen
eral improvement in the condition o
livestock in South Carolina during th<
past several years. Recent figure
from the office of B. B. Hare, Soutl
Carolina field agent of the bureau
show that only 2 per cent of horsei
and mules, 3 per cent of cattle an<
sheep, and 6.6 per cent of swine die<
during the year from disease, expos
are or neglect. This is considerable
less than formerly, and less , than thi
average of mortality for the Unite<
States, except in swine, the nations
swine mortality being about the sanu
or 6.2 per cent. The condition o:
horses and mules in the state on Mai
1 was 91 per cent of normal, cattli
and sheep 81 per cent, swine 90 pe:
cent.
"The decrease in mortality of swin<
during recent years is attributable,'

"John, I received a letter this moraine
from Laura. She says that Ylolet
will be here next Thursday. I wonder
If she will like the country. She's
probably used to city ways and things.
Suppose she should be stuck up and
carry her nose In the air. No, I can't
believe that any child of Laura's could
be Uke that. Yet I've always believed
that city-bred children were always
more or less stuck up." Matilda stopped,
only because she had to. By thetime
she got her breath again her hueband
was speaking.
"Pooh, Matty. Yen alnt going tothink
that of little Ylolet. 'cause I
alnt going to let yon. Did you say thatr
she was coming Thursday? Well, HI
take a look at the calendar. Wty,.
that's tomorrow I Yen'd better start
right In now making sooae cookies snd;
pies, while I finish say work In thebarn.
Ylolet Barclay, a girl ef nineteen,
was just the opposite ef what'
Aunt Matilda said about being "stuck
up." Being In poor health, her mother
had decided to send Ylolet to her
aunt's home la the country.
Thursday morning dawned at last
and Uncle John harnessed Maggie and
drove her to the little station. At
last he spied Ylolet coming towards
htm.
Ylolet greeted her uncle with an ?s>
feusiastlc kiss en either cheek, which
! gulte took his breath away.
"I feel better all ready, Uncle Jehu,'*
she cried as they were driving home.
*T knew I should the minute I got cut
of that hot, dusty city."
Three days after her arrival Ylolet
had donned her new farmerette suit
and started a garden.
Ore day Anat Matilda asked her If
she wouldn't Ilka to visit Elmhurst
"Why, Where's that, auntie r Violet
asked.
"Oh, lfs the mast beautiful bouse 1
ever saw!" replied Matilda. Thera
are elma all round It and?well, X
verily believe that X should get lost
In It"
This aroused YltitPs curloeltr at
once.
"Who owni itr iIm asked.
"Mr. Preston used U own It, bet
he's dead now," was tba reply. "Tike
sister died here, so be wanted to live
bare; he bollt that boeeo. Ifs for
sale, furniture and att. I beard fotb
er day that a certain Mr. XL Roberta
Intends te buy It. I hope he's nice if
he's going to lire there."
"Oh. where is K, auntie? It sounds
eery Interesting. Is It very far from
here? May I go this afternoon?"
"No, Violet, It la not eery far from
here. I thought yeuM like to see tL
YeuD find It easy If you .keep to this*
mad for about ooe mfle."
That afternoon Violet started. 8&e
roadbed the place and found It more
beautiful than Matilda had said It was.
Violet wandered around under tba
elms and thea went toward the house.
"X wonder If they keep the doom
locked," ahe said to herself. "I suppose
they do, but Fd lore to go Inside."
To her surprise, as she tried the
door It opened. Going Inside, she
found herself la a large hall.
"It won't do any harm If I do look
around a little," she said to herself,
so she cautiously opeaed a door nearby.
Seeing nothing rery interesting la
this room, aha wandered on. All the
rooms wera luxuriously furnished.
After a while A# went uDstair*.
Looking In one of the rooms she saw a
bedroom. She crossed the room to
fiance at herself la the mirror sq^ as
:o fix her hair. What she saw, howrver,
was a young man lying on the
led and apparently fast asleep. He
ras dressed In a dark bine suit. Intently
Violet thought of the Mr. Robrts
of whom Matflda had spoken
Iho supposed he had arrived today
nd, feeling tired, had lain down.
And then to her horror she found
he had to sneeze. She started for the
uian.iuB iunny little noises. She
ad Just time te get ost of the room
nd cover her face with her handkerlief
before she saeesed. She was
