Therese d'Aurlgnac’ was born m i a farm near Toulouse nearly fifty jft r * ago. She was not exactly a peas ant, but her social position was little above that condition. In 1878 she mar ried Frederick Humbert, son o f Ous- tave Humbert, who subsequently he came a member of the French senate and a minister of justice In De Frey duet's cabinet The position of the elder Humbert gave the family standing tn Paris, and soon stories began to be beard of an Immense fortune to be inherited by Mine. Humbert from an old relative of the D'Aurlgiiace. This story seems not lo have been accepted by the Parisians, and then came the story of the Craw ford millions. According to this story, there died at Nice In 1877 a rich American named Itobert Henry Crawford, who left The- rese Humbert his entire fortune of $20.000,000 in recognition of the fact that some years before she had saved his life. The fortune was said to be ir French twnds. IMt something had tber to be done to raise money on the myth leal legucy. ThereitH*» Mine.

Lord, who served 12 years on the Supreme Bench in Oregon, has filed a brief in the in itiative and referendum case, in which he supports the contention that the referendum amendment was not le gally adopted, is not a part of the constitution, and is in violation of that part of the federal constitution which guarantees to every state a republican form of government. That the world ‘‘do move” is proven by the following article: “ The cam paign of r.104 will be n unique one in several ways, quite different from all previous ones.
