FAMOUS FRENCH
EMPRESS IS DEAD
• Paris, July 12.— Eugenie, widow of
Napoleon lit. and last empress of
France, died at her home in Spain
Sunday.
When Marie Eugenie Ijmace Au
gustine dc Monti jo, daughter of a
Spanish court, was a little girl a
Gypsy fortune teller | told her she
would some day occupy a throne and
live to le 1)4.
For eighteen years the “beautiful
Spaniard,” as she was known In her
prime, was empress of France and
during most of that period her whims
ruled not only her own country, but
directhl the destinies of Europe. For
a time, while Napoleon 111 was ill,
she was regent.
The Gypsy’s second prophecy came
true also. Eugenie was 94 years old
May 5 last.
For the people of France she has
been for more than half a century
tlie living embodiment of historic
days—the glory of the empire, its
fall, the revolution that gave birth
to the republic after the ignominy of
defeat at the hands of Prussia, forty
marvelous years of amazingly swift
reconstruction, then the great war
with its four years of defeat and suf
fering and near debacle and finally
the day of revenge.
It was for that day that the “shad
ow empress” had been clinging to life
with heroic obstancy and will power
since, on July 2.’1, 1914, the day Aus
tria sent her ultimation to Serbia,
she had left France. First from her
home in Spain, then from magnificent
Elizabethan mansion at Farnborough
Hill, she watched the titanic conflict
witli a hopeful fervor, tin* very inten
sity of which kept the flame of life
nflleker In the frail physical shell of
her former self.
It was recounted that when they
brought her the news, on November
11, 19tS of Germany’s unconditional
signature of tin* armistice terms and
again last year, word of her signing
on the "dotted line” at Versailles —
the very Versailles where forty-eight
years before Ills mark dictated peace
with a “pistol at his victim’s head” —
the venerable ex-arbiter of Europe’s
fate broke down and wept like a child,
wept tears of Joy. Her death came
two days after the Germans at Spa
were forced to sign the deatli warrent
of the last remnant of the once proud
Prussian war machine.

DEATH FOLLOWS SWIFTLY
AFTER ! STANHOPE IRVIN

from San Francisco to Athens as
smoothly but as rapidly as it was pos
sible in the hope that his life could
be prolonged and possibly saved alto
gether if he could be gotten safely to
his Georgia home, died a few hours
after he arrived in Athens Sunday
night.
Mr. Irwin's neck had been broken
in an accident in San Francisco, where
he has resided for several years, and

THE COOKIE-LADY.
She is gentle, kind and fair,
And there’s sliver In her hair,
She lias known the touch of sorrow,
But the smile of her is sweet;
And sometimes it seems to, me
That her mission Is to be
The gracious cookie-lady
To the youngsters of the street.
All the children In the block
Dally stand beside the crock
Where she keeps the sugar cookies
That the little folks enjoy,
And no morning passes o’er
That a tapping at her door
Doesn’t warn her of the visit
Of a certain little boy.
She has made him feel that he
Has n natural right to be
In her kitchen when she’s baking
Pies and cakes and ginger bread,
And each night to ine he brings
All the pretty, tender things
About little by-gone children
That the cookie-lady said.
Oh, dear, cookie-lady sweet
May you beautify our street
With your kind and gentle presence
Many more glad years, I pray;
May the skies be bright above you,
As you’ve taught our babes to love
you
You will scar their hearts with sor*
row
If you ever go away.
Life Is strange, and when I scan It,
I believe Ood tries to plan It,
So that where he sends his babies.
In that neighborhood to dwell
One of rare and gracious beauty
Shall abide, whose sweetest duty
Is to be the eookle-lndy
That the children love so well.
