The love o f the miraculous Is enough
to keep alive the belief that the ac
cepted facts of history concerning a
person who has greatly Interested the
world either by bis life or his death
are all wrong, says the Boston Trans
cript. Within twenty years a big book
has been published In this country to
demonstrate that Marshal Ney was not
shot In the garden o f the Luxembourg,
Dec. 7, 1815, but escaped to America
and dwelt ln North Carolina.
For some years there flourished ln
Germany a man who declared himself
to be the son of the duke of Helchatadt
by a secret marriage and therefore the
grandson nnd direct heir of Napoleon.
This lmiioster was a clumsy fellow who
did not know’ his book, for the date he
assigned as that of his birth w’ns fully
a year subsequent to the death o f the
duke.
But we need not travel so far as Eu
rope to find the credulous of the incred
ible. Only a few years ago there died
In Kansas a man who was belloved by
many o f the vicinity to be Wilkes
Booth. A marked physical resemblance
to the assassin caused so much annoy
ance to a well-known clergyman that
he took pains to demonstrate by proofs
o f his birth and education that he was
not Wilkes Booth.
The fact that Mrs. Fitzlierbert made
a solemn declaration that she never
was a mother does not deter the “ Fltz-
herbert heirs” In this country from
bothering King Edward with letters
applying for permission to examine cer
tain papers which they believe contain
a secret of vast money value to them.
The people who believe these incredi
