boast, that while their neighbOrs are
"squandering" their money III adver-

there is always some "dead beat" who

but never paws his share Of the reck-

to say, ''this reminds us Of a little
Joke" At an experience meeting in
a New England town a certain deacon,
noted for his close-fstedness, was
expatiating upon the advantates Of

publishing San apology for acts which
the law deems crimes" How long
is it since this perfect type of a
Frenchman wrote and published his

directions, such as ''Eat and drink in
moderation, or ''NeYer drink water
out of a ditch or pool if you can help
it?' What a lifel NJ. Raspail was
important enough while a young man
to be noticed by Napoleon I. He was
condemned to death in 1915 on a, false
charge of murder; wounded on the
barricades in July, 1880; condemned
in Louis Philippe's time to six years
imprisonment; sentenced to five years
imprisonment in 1919; banished for
ten years-to Belgium; pat in prison
again by Louis Napoleon, and now
once more by the Republic. One
