SMITH Fox River Hatchery ?hone 1537 ELGIN, ILL. 13 S. Grove Ave. (0 by Dodd, A Company.) Thm Fall of the Bastile MV OUR majesty, the people are * starving for lack of bread !** "Then," replied Queen Marie Antoinette of France, lu utter surprise, "why don't they eat cake?" The frivolous queen did not ask this question as a joke. She had so little knowledge of poverty and of the needs of a nation that she could not underatand how unappeased hunger could exist. This one speech of hers sizes up better than could a whole volume the grievances that led to that red horror, the French Revolution. Those high in authority neither knew nor cared how the great mass of the people existed. Louis XIV, after impoverishing France by his extravagances, had been succeeded by his great-grandson, Louis XV. The latter had all the "Grand Monarch's" vices and extravagance with none of his genius. He left Fr&nce almost bankrupt The clergy and the nobles were exempt by law from taxation. Thus the fearful burden of taxes fell on the tradespeople and peasants. To make matters worse, the taxes were "farmed out" and the collectors wrung the helpless poor still further to obtain "graft" for themselves out of the transaction. 80 while the court reveled In unheard-of luxury and magnificence the plain people who paid for It all were left to starve. Moreover, the aristocracy, taking thel^ cue from the king, oppressed and Ill-treated their luckless tenants, grinding them to the dust; unspeakable outrages were perpetrated by the nobles against their defenseless peasants and tradesfolk. Undeserved life Imprisonment, torture and death were common Occurrences. And for centuries the people of France had submitted; so long, in fact that their masters had ceased to regard It as possible that the downtrodden slaves could ever revolt But, during all these centuries the seeds of revolution were germinating--seeds which were one day to burst Into a bloody harvest of retribution that should set the whole world aghast Among the vilest abuses of the era was the Bastile. This huge fortress was at once the state prison and the citadel of Paris. When a monarch, a nobleman or a man of power had an enemy he could not legally dispose of, he procured (if he had sufficient influence) a secret warrant known as a "lettre de cachet" and had his foe or victim seized and conveyed to the Bastile. There, without trial, without hope of rescue, with his friends ignorant of his whereabouts, the prisoner would linger often for a lifetime. The Bastile was the visible symbol and sign of despotic power, and as such the people of France hated it even as they feared It Louis XV had been wise, in his way. He had calculated to a nicety the number of years the people would continue to endure such treatment. "It will last out my time," said he. "but I pity my grandson 1" And the painted, bedizened Duchesse de Pompadour at his side croaked the grueaomely epigrammatic prophecy: "After us, the deluge!" And now Louis XV was dead and his grandson, Louis XVI, reigned In his stead. The sixteenth Louis waa an amiable, stnpld, weak-willed fellow. He was married to an Austrian archduchess, Marie , Antoinette, whose mother had planned the match and had coached the girl queen how to promote Austria's Influence at the French court Louis XVI had begun his reign with some vague theories as to the rights of the people. But Marie Antoinette and her party at court had soon driven such notions from his stupid head. The people grew to loathe Marie Antoinette and to blame her for their suffering. * The American revolution had met with warm support from France, but plunged that country into disastrous war with Bngland, and, moreover, fired the people with republican Ideas. If America had cut free from the bondage of royal despotism why should not France? The peupl« began to awake--and to think. Famine was rife throughout the rural districts. Throngs of country folk flocked Into Paris. Riots and other disturbances sprang up. A national guard was formed by the municipality ®nd Lafayette was placed at its head. The people were a^ last aroused. They did not yet dare to turn Against royalty itself, but they assailed its most hated symbol--the Bastile. On July 14, 1789, a mob marched on this fortress, calling on the governor, Delaunay, to surrender. Delaunay refused. Then the crowd attacked. Delaunay, a stanch, loyal old soldier, fought them off for hours, till some of the guard came up, with several pieces of artillery, and forced him to yield. The mob (soldiers, peasants and townsfolk alike) rushed into the Bastile, released the prisoners (some of whom were insane or dazed from long confinement), killed Delaunay and proceeded to tear down the fortress. On the wall of one cell they found this prophecy, scrawled a halfcentury earlier by Osgliostro, the charlatan magician: "The Bastile shall be destroyed and the people shall dance on Its site." The latter part of the prophecy was fulfilled by screaming, blood atreaked revolutionists, who accompanied their wild dance with songs of vengeance. Ilia French Revolution had dawned. Cent Joyce Kilmer, No. 678. Catholic Daughters of America, held their annual banquet in honor of Mother's Day on Monday, May 21, at Justen's hotel at 6 o'clock. Covers were laid for about* n!nt?fcy members and guests. The program consisted of several songs composed and played by Dorothy Knox and sung by the entire ensemble. Miss Knox's songs always "go over" big and seem to give the crowd that jovial feeling that should go with a party of this kind. Jack Purvey and Bob Peterson favored the crowd with solos and the nearty call for an encore proved the guests and members were more than pleased with their numbers. Later in the evening they were again called upon for a few duets. The applause after these numbers again showed their ability as royal ent Dorothy Knox accompanied at the piano. Arthur Cox solos, which were very well received. Arthur is an artist with a and proved a most delightful tainer. Little Catherine Donovan's reading was most appropriate for the occasion. It was well rendered and pleased her audience immensely. Rev. William A. O'Rourk ewas also called upon. At one moment his ready wit caused gales of laughter and then again his audience was spellbound with his eloquence and definition of what a "Mother" means to all. Mrs. Vera Purvey who responded with a toast, was most sincere with a few well chosen words of prais» for Mother." As no program is complete without a few words from the Grand Regent of Court Joyce Kilmer, Eleanor Phalin was then called upon for an impromptu address. In her most delightful manner die thanked all who took part in the evening's program, also the committee, Mrs. Vera Purvey, Mrs. Marie Schiessle and Mrs. Elizabeth Schoewer, who worked so hard to make the banquet another success to be put down in the history of the court. The tables were beautifully decorated in pink crepe paper with pink crepe paper nutcups, these being in the form of a rose. Each mother, guest and members found a pink carnation at their place which they were requested to wear during the evening. Beautiful bouquets <of carnations and ferns adorned the tables. Lucky numbers were drawn and prizes were awarded to Mrs. Theodore Schiessle, Sr., Mrs. Henry Kinsala, Jack Purvey, Miss Dorothy Knox, Mrs. E. R. Sutton, and Mrs. John F. Freund. Elizabeth Schoewer -very efficient^ acted as toastmistress.

Nine Bouts Are Scheduled For Wednesday, May 30, With No Advance , ^ p,.}^ y tv ix v •; ' ' • - • ' • -- -- -- v . « " Hojgflg ft the Polly O'clock, central standard time, Wednesday, May 23. The judges were A. J. Kirschberg of Crystal Lake and W. R. Hamburg of Fox Lake; boxing commissioner Henry F. Wallenwien of Waukegan; referee, Jabber Young. The curtain raiser was an unofficial bout between A1 Stanley of Waukegan and Len Swanson of ^North Chicago. The boxers were two little boys of about six or seven years of age, the boxing gloves looked to be larger than their heads, but they were speedy and while Stanley got the decision at the end of the third 1%-minute round, Swanson had landed some very good punches and if they improve with age they will make boxers with good reputations by the time they are full grown. The second bout was between George Holderman of Antioch and Herb Simmons of Lake Forest, fighting at 155 pounds. Holderman did not seem to be at his best and Simmons easily took the decision at the end of the third round. The third bout was the Twin Lakes popular favorite, Buddy Beyer. His opponent was the colored boy of Waukegan, Bill Taylor, fighting at 155 pounds. Beyer was just too good for Taylor, that's all, and so he got the decision after the third round. The fourth bout was rather short. Joe Young of Belleplaine A. C., substituting for Harry Moley, knocked Dick Thibedeau out in the first round. Dick is a clever boxer. He stumbled into an upper cut to the chin and left an opening for a side swipe to the face and took the count for longer than the customary ten. Probably in anoth. er meet the results might be different. The fifth bout and undoubtedly the best match of the evening was between Polly Prim's A. C., Billie Blue, and Eddie Glicki, Belleplaine, A. C. This was a fast bout and a good one. Blue easily getting the decision in the third round. Blue is one of the best amatuer boxers of his weight anywhere in this section. Last Friday evening he took on Alex Klazo of the Belleplaine A. C. at the Belleplaine A. C. and got the decision at the end of the fourth three-minute round. Al. though he had knocked Klaza to the mat five times in two rounds, it was the bell that saved Klazo from official knockout. Sometimes the audience thinks that Blue would get the decision at Mc Henry anyway and when he fought Klazo ill McHenry, Klazo was the favorite, but it seems that Blue is the bdxer and it matters not whether at home or away because his decision ovor Klazo at Belleplaine was twice as decisive as their match at McHenry. The sixth bout with Jimmy Hull of Lake Villa and Frankie Hughes of Kenosha ended in the second round by the referee calling it "no contest.' <r MORE EFFECTIVE 'ADVERTISING CAN BE DEVELOPED THROUGH THEUSEOF PICTURES TO SUPPLY THESE PICTURES FOR THE USE OUR ADVERTISERS WE SET EACH MONTH THE WNU, AD CUT AND COPY SERVICE or OVER
