Parents who find difficulty answering questions about
Santa's means of locomotion when snow is Jacking will be
especially thankful for the white Christmas in prospect.
Christmas offers an ideal opportunity for advertising
the Oregon country to eastern people by sending gifts of
famous Oregon products. John Dean's fancy prunes, r?
cently displayed in the Chamber of Commerce window,
beautiful Grande Ronde Valley apples from the Imbler
district, and numerous other suggestions are at hand.
It's unfortunate that some 'Stacklnnd cherries can't be
available at Christmas time to help tell the world about
Union county attractions. .

A LINK WITH TRAGIC PAST.
New dispatches telling of the critical illness of Chnr
, lolte, former empress of Mexico, recall the .spectacular
part in the tragic but romantic scene played by her and
her husband, the unfortunate and ill-advised Maximilian.
Maximilian came to n melancholy end before a firing squad
iiiMexico in 1867, and the news Of her husband's death
so milkl'ahccil the mind of Charlotte that she has since
lived in seclusion and has been known as the "mad emp
ress." '
' As tho archduke of Austria Maximilian in 1861 was
made emperor of a new empire (mainly in name) in Mexico
created by his brother, Emperor Francis Joseph I, of Aus
, tria, and Napoleon II, of France. Maximilian is believed
j lo have been n puppet for his brother and the ambitious
V unci fanciful Napoleon. Some historians believe Francis
i Joseph deliberately took" this way of ridding himself of his
brother and that Napoleon sacrificed him to his own'am
; bilious.
For throe years the' Central American empire endured
under the rule of Emperor Maximilian and the "moral sup
port" of French garrisons in every Mexican town. Then
(suddenly Napoleon withdrew his troops and Maximilian
was delivered into the hands of his "subjects." Charlotte
' mado an impassioned appeal lo the French monarch lo
save her husband and upon the refusal of her tragic prayer
'went mad. Three years of pomp and .power in the New
World cost. an Austrian pr'wce his life and an Austrian
.princess her. mind.
Even though this royal pair courted their fate this
democratic ago still (eels deeply the tragedy of their lives.
