IN 1653 Cardinal Maxarin was the most powerful, man of France. -JU principal minister, the lover and per haps husband of the Queen Dowager, and recognised guardian of the young king, Louis XIV. In his success be remembered, a poor sister, struggling to raise five daughters on a little estate In Italy, One day the post brought , to ' this sister a. command from her great brother that sne should come to Paris and bring the five girls. Happiness reigned In the. family cir cle, only marred by the thought .that one ot the. daughters was as homely as the others were handsome. The four beauties wanted to leave ber at home, but she resisted and they finally took this ugly duckling with them. Whn Masarln saw . his ungainly niece he consigned her to a convent. The oth er four became celebrated over night tor their beauty and took a prominent place at court. But the poor Cinder ella of the family remained In her convent . -Mazarln ; happened to re member the - girl and sent for- ber. He found that in two years she had become wonderfully ' beautiful, more bewitching' than her sisters. And ft was not long tint 11 Marie Manclnt was one of the most sought after of the court beauties. The young king saw her,- became . Infatuated, and Marie barely missed being queen of France by the Intervention, of the cardinal and the king's mother; But Louis Anally proved fickle, as kings have had a way of doing, and Marie found her castles tumbled to pieces.. The car-, . dinal determined that she should mar ry and a match was' arranged with Prince Colonna, grand constable of Naple Marie consented, caring .lit tle whom she married, and went to the altar, with a last despairing look at Louis. , Unhapplness soon forced her to leave the prince and she returned to France. - Then began a series of wanderings In which the beautiful Marie did as ber fancy bldwlth half the princelings of Europe. Her own heart broken, by Louis desertion, she cared little for. the afflictions she caused others.' In France, Spain and Italy, Marie left behind ber a train of aching hearts, and there were many stories of ber cruelty. . , : -. . Policies of state were shaped ac cording to her wish and a -toss of ber handsome bead settled many matters of International consequence. But Marie never really was happy. Death came to her in Pisa, where she wrote this hurried and tragl.epltaph, "Marie Manclnl Colonna Dust and Ashes." : a ) ' r' '. '' '' ' ' ?. 1 . . A CHRISTMAS PABDON ' FOR "FATTY ARBUCKLE Los Angeles, .December ' 20. Ros coe "Fatty" Arbuckle today was giv en a Christmas ."pardon" by Will H. Hayes, movie mentor, who banished him from filmdom almost a year ago. . Arbuckle was .. barred . from the films following his acquittal of charg es of manslaughter in - connection witn the oeatn or Virginia icappe., -' In announcing the "pardon" Hayes declared that he believed the spirit of Christmas and Christmas teachings would serve-as a guide both for Ar buckle in his future conduct and for the public in its attitude toward him. V No attempts' will be made to. re lease Arbuckle's filmsl for a number of months, and although the most famous, fat man in the I world may go back to -'work on the Hollywood "lots" none of his pictures -will be released before the fall of 1923. . . "Every .man in the right way and at the proper time is entittled to his chance to make good. . It is apparent that Roscoe Arbuckle's conduct since his trouble merits that chance. So far as I am concerned there will be no suggestions that he should not have an opportunity to go to work in bis profession. In our effort to develop- complete cooperation and - confid ence within their industry I hope we can start the New .Year with no yes terdays. Let's live and let live. We will try to live and help live," Hayes says. ' '.- , ; A LETTER FROM ; - ... : v AN OLD SETTLER Taft, Flal, Dec if, 1922. : Editor Chariton Courier Dear Sir: I am a native of Chariton County, Missouri, was born and reared and remained on a farm about 3 miles east of Keytes vile until 1892 whta I sold the farm and when to the State of Washing ton where we lived three years. Then returned to old Chariton and bought lots and erected a wagon and carriage factory in Salisbury where we re mained until 1904. 1 My maternal grandfather settled three and one half miles-east of Key tesville In 1818. From remembrances of what my mother told me and of my own recollection, I can tell the un written history of Chariton- County better than perhaps any man now liv ing. I knew Keytesville when the buildings were all of logs. '' I remem ber when Rector Heironymous burnt the brick from which- the first court house was built, he was an uncle of my wife, and ber father, Rev. John Harris' preached the- first sermon at the first camp meeting in Keytesville. We enjoyt reading the Courier al though -we seldom see an item about those of our ages, as I suppose they are nearly all gone. - " . Hon. A. W. Johnson's items from Salisbury are especially prized by us. -1 was born June 1840 and my wife, two years before, we hope to cele brate our sixtieth 'wedding anniver sary next May. We have five children living and two adopted ones, our first infant son and our youngest daughter, Mrs. Dean Lawyer, who passed on in Port land, Oregon, November 1920. We have seventeen grand children and seven great) granr children. Wife and I are enjoying good health and wish all our Chariton County re latives and friends a Merry Christ mas and the Happiest New Year ever. " Enclosed is two dollars . for one year's subscription to the ' good old Courier in his Sunday clothes. - Will be glad to hear from any old time friends who care to write to me. Yours respectfully, Peterson Parks, Taft, Florida, Box 71. COLLEGE AND FERTILIZER MEN MEET AT COLUMBIA At a recent conference in Columbia officials of the Soils Department, University of Missouri, met with about thirty representatives of com panies selling fertilizer in Missouri, in order to insure intelligent cooper ation in the campaign for the use of selected high-analysis fertilizers. The University has announced a list of fertilizer analysis, which Mis souri farmers are urged to use in pre ference to ell others At this con forencA the reasons for the selected nnnlvsin vera exDlained and clans i were made for concerted efforts to make their use State-wide. College officials declare that Mis souri farmers can save considerable money in their fertilizer purchases and increase their crop profits by buying' only high-analysis fertilizers. Senator . Spencer taust be in the Newberry class. In a speech in the senate he again defended the resign ed senator. When he comes before the people of 'Misosuri in 1926 he will find out what they think of Newberryism and Spencerism.
