Paris society is greatly stirred up over the latest sensational episode. Mme. Leyguer, wife of the minister of
public instruction in the late Waldeck-Roussean cabinet, has long been jealous of the cabinet minister's atten
tions to Mme. Lucienne Breval, the well known American opera singer. Recently the irate wife came upon the
singer just as she was leaving Minister Leyguer's private office. She proceeded publicly to slap Mme. Breval
several times on the face in the presence of several statesmen, university professors and scholars. Divorce pro
ceedings are expected to follow. -Above Is the latest picture of Mme. Breval.

Strange as it may seem it is often
times the strictly temperate man who
gets full when he goes away from
home. State conventions, lodge rallies
and even large gatherings devoted to
philanthropic or religious ends furnish
numberless examples.
When a convention, political rally or
social reunion meets, the curious trait
of the righteous man comes to the sur
face. He meets his friends and ica
medlately it is suggested that every
body should have a good time. This
meets with universal approvaL Away
goes the crowd under the unconscious
guidance of a veteran leader. The
boys "have something."
; A social chat follows. They "have
something" more. About this time the
moderate but sensible boozer In com
mand gracefully slips away. Still the
good time goes on. Somebody else
suggests visiting another place. The
gang marches on.
Now if there is a Jdnd hearted
drinker in the gang of revellers he will
weed out the novices and lead them
hotelwards. But as a usual thing the
men who drink rarely ever notice the
other fellows unless they are bent on
having a little malicious sport by
ftanking" some man who has an Im
maculate reputation at home.
A couple of trips up and down the
street and the virtuous delegate gets
bewildered by the glare of the electric
lights. The streets do not suit him.
He has objections to sundry arrange
ments made for the comfort of the
city folks.
' He is also tormented by the regret
that the large share of the municipal
population does not care a straw about
him. There is no widespread curiosity
to find out where he came from, when
he got in and what he is going to do.
To remedy this Indifference he begins
to yelL
" The righteous -visitor is weU slightly
Intoxicated. Generally It is the very
first time in his life.
This thing happens times innumer
aMe during every state convention. It
could be plainly seen last Wednesday.
The same peculiarity will be mani
fested when the delegates pour in
again.
Of course the populace gets the idea
that many politicians are boozers and
heavy drinkers. A close analysis
would convince the inquiring that the
bibulous ones' are not bad men but
good, not winetipples, but persons un
accustomed to the cup. Having led
temperate lives for years they think
that to have a good time they must do
something unusual. They must drink.
AH the horrors of the intoxicated
visit them as a result. But they have
their modicum of joy. The "fellows"
allude to the occurrence in a mysteri
ous manner when they get home. No
one can ever find out just what Jones
did but all his friends know that some
thing happened. And they talk about
it for years.

years; Cass county, five years, and in Lancaster county for five years.
