rendered their verdict to the court.
Nor long since a sleepy member of the
lower branch of the Legislature requested
a fellow.member to wake him when a
certain bill involving the interests of
lumbermen came up. This agreed upon,
the sleepy member was soon in the happy
land of dreams. 1t so happened that a
certain bill upon theft and perjury came
up that day So when the latter bill was
fairly under way, the sleepy member was
aroused. He, rubbing his eyes, arose. and
addressed the speaker "Mr. Speaker,
| wish to say few words upon this bill,
for the fact is, the most of the people up
our way make their living by this trade"

SOME interesting details concerning tn
bravery of French woman have beel
recently developed by a courtmartial tria
at Versailles. There were three prisoner
the chief, one Boudoin by name-who
during the last days of the Commune, al
rested many citizens, and slowed then
away in cellar in the Church of st. Flo
Among these was Madame Lecuyer, VIII
was arrested for refusing to reveal tn
hiding-place of her husband, who ha

Threats of instant death had no effect t
change her purpose; she steadfastly rC
fused to betray her husband. One morn
ing the prisoners were one by one mad
to pass before Boudoin, who asked ther
whether they would go out and defend
barricade or stay and be shot. Most @
them accepted the first alternative, an
by this means saved their lives. Ont
however, who had the misfortune to eN
cite Boudoin's wrath, was shot by him o
the spot. Madame Lecuyer was led int
the church byBoudoin, who put revoly
er to her face, and told her she had bu
ten minutes to live. The brave woma
offered him her life, if he would let tn
rest of the prisoners go. Seeing that sh
was not afraid, Boudoin took her by tn
hands, exclaiming, You are the rigf
sort of citizeness; | wish we had nor
like you," and, for the moment, at leas
gave up the idea of shooting her. In
few hours afterward the Versaillais ha
entered Paris, and the Commune wa
overthrown. The court condemned Boz
dOin to death.
