Pierre Jean, an old soldier, believed
to be the Oldest living member of the
Legion OF Honor, has lately died in
Paris at the ripe age of ninety -four.
Born in the year of the great revolu-
ton he served under Napoleon in the
Austrian campaign of 1909 survived
the terrible march from Moscow in
1912, and was taken prisoner in 1913
before Dresden. 1t was on the 18th of
March, 1915, during the "hundred
days" of Napolean's rule, after the
return from Elba, that he received the
coveted decoration. At the battle of
Waterloo he was Sergeant-Major in
the Thirty-siXth regiment of the line.
Pierre Jean, whose destiny it was after
all to die peacefully in the trucklo-bed
of an inmate of the lnvalides, twice re-
ceved wounds, one at Koningstein, in
1918, the othur at Namur during the

A Temperance Lesson,
Frank Lynch, In LeAvenwOrth Standard.

M. M. Pomeroy, otherwise known as
"Brick" for short; tells the following
convincing temperance story; "Some
years ago we had in our emp'oy man
who several times day ran out of the
office to buy drink of whisky. Every
time he went out the cashier was IN
structed to drop 10 cents in the drawer
to our credit. At the end of seventeen

PIucking an Ostrich.
Texas Siftings.

leAas StJnbS
Before the handsome plumes that
adorn the expansive hats of our girls,
and the girls of other people, Gppe "
upon the fearfully and wonderfully
constructed articles of head gear, they
are in charge of the old ostrich himself,
or herself, as the case may be, ana
serve to point a moral and adorn tail.
1t may be news to some of our
readers, but it is cold -blooded fact,
that there are ostrich ranches in Texas,
rs well in California and Australia, and
other outlying points of the universe.
1t was AT one of these Texas ranches
that the following incident occurred,
which we willingly vouch for, at all
hours of the day or night, and whenev-
er we vouch for thing it may be set
down as SO, or nearly so.
A certain DR.. Sketchley undertook
to pluck one of his Ostriches the other
day, and now he SHES at the very
name of ostrich, and would rather risk
proximity to a mule than to get behind
an ostrich. When an ostrich is to be
plucked, long stocking is drawn over
its head, and while it is impossible for
the great, ungainly bird to see any
thing, it will remain as quiet as a lamb.
and allow itself to be denuded of its
plumeS without one word Of remon-
STRANGE, or even a solitary kick. Bnt
it so happened that DR.. Sketchley, be-
ing trifle nearsighted did not OBJ
serve that the toe of the stocking which
he was using as blindfold was sadly
out of repair. In fact, this particular
stocking was minus the toe, while the
heel, also, was as full of holes as a
calendar, and while the nearSighted
doctor was engaged in plucking the
costly plumes, the poor ostrich was
working his head for all it was worth,
and finally succeeded in getting the
long stocking down around about his
neck, and then he took view of the
proceedings going on in his rear. The
doctor was very busy, his mind intent
on the probable amount he would re-
ceive in dollars and cents from this par
ticular bird. The ostrich sized up the
the situation Immediately, and acted
accordingly. The doctor was too quick
for the deadly bird, however, and step
ping lightly aside. allowed the full
force of the blow to fall on the devoted
head of a board fence, which was shiv-
cred into toothpcks, and the bars be-
ing left down in this accommodating
manner, the doctor made wild break
through the opening, and ran for his
life. 1t was curious spectacle, that
old weather beaten ostrich charging
around the barnyard with three feet of
black stocking wrinkled around his
neck, and flying medical gentleman
rushing up TO the house to relate his
narrow escape.
AS no lions are found where the gor.
lila roams, so no mules are found in the
vicinity of the ostrich ranch-especial-
ly in Texas.

Asking Much Too Much.

Steuben County Journal.
If we could have one Legislature free from
the political demagogues, and thus be able to
secure the candid consideration of certain
measures the enactment of which would
seem beneficial, the State could well afford
to dispense with additional legislation for
ten years. Very many are not at all certain
that our laws, considered as a whole, are in
the least better than they were decade of
years ago.
