A Remarkable French Story.

A French writer tells this remarkable
incident of the French-Prussian war: A
young officer of the French army was
suspected of being a spy. One night
his house was surrounded by German
soldiers. Seeing that capture was in
evitable, he handed bundle of secret
dispatches to his ten year-old brother,
with instructions to bury them, and
under no circumstances tell where they
were. Soon after the young officer
was captured, together with his father.
As the dispatches could not be found
on the person of the prisoners, search
was made for them. The little boy
did not deny eoncealing them, but re-
fused to reveal the place. His father
and brother told him to remain firm,
even though they should he killed be-
fore his eyes. Next morning the pris-
oners were led out to be executed.
The boy still refused to tell where the
dispatches were. just then a terrible
expression Of agony passed over his
face. The boy opened his mouth; a
torrent of blood poured out of it. In
vestigation showed that he had bitten
off his tongue, so great had been his
temptation to speak and save his
father and brother.-TOledo Blade.

How . Member of the Wandering Pro-
fession Grows Wealthy.
An elderly, charitable-looking gentle
man, wearing an air Of prosperity, was
rushing into the post-office on Sunday
when he was approached by dilapi-
dated, seedy-looking tramp. The lat
ter held in his hand a sealed envelope
directed in lead-pencil and smeared
with the marks Of grimy fingers. "Will
You please give me a couple of pennies
to send letter to my mother, sir? /
have just got out of hospital and !
want to send for money to go home. "
The gentleman was overcome by the
piteous appeal and dropped coin in
the outstretehed hand. As he issued
forth from the other end of the big
granite structure he was met by the
same individual with the same story
and the same dirty envelope. "Why,
you scoundrel, I just gave you enough
to send your mother dozen letters, !"
shouted the benevolent gentleman.
"You miserable wretch. You're an
mpostor."
"That's new racket" said the
policeman on the corner, "and that
rascal has been working it very success
fully, too. Nearly every one he asks
gives him something. I have driven
him away again and again, but he
comes back. philadelphia Record.

CHOPIN AS A BOY.
Incidents from the Boyhood of the Great
Composer.

1uclueutS from the ESOyhOOu Oh the OfGHE
Composer.
Chopin, alone of all the musicians,
has been immortalized through his
pianoforte music. If all the works
that have ever been written for the
piano were to be swept away, his COM
positions would of themselves inspire
one through all the drudgery that is
necessary to master the instrument.
Frederic Chopin was born on March
/, 1909, at little village near Warsaw.
The child's genius was apparent in his
earliest years; when scarcely more than
baby, he was SO sensitive that he
wept on hearing music; and he began
to compose before he was old enough
to write out the notes. He was placed
under the tuition of Albert Zwyny, who
was delighted with his little pupils
progress, and in his ninth year he gave
his first concert. Frederic was gen.
orally full of high spirits, and often
amused himself by playing little prac-
teal jokes, sometimes being joined by
his sister Emily. This sister gave as
rare promise of being great in litera-
ture as Frederic in music, but, I'M
fortunately, she died when only young
girl.
Chopin had talent for Selling the
ludicrous and placing it on paper; and
his power of caricaturing on the piano
was much like Schumann's. 1t is said
that once, when his fathers pupils were
becoming very boisterous, Chopin
entered the room and seated himself at
the piano. He initiated band of rob-
bers breaking into house. their es-
cape and retreat to the woods; as the
music grew fainter the pupils became
brewster and brewster until they were
all fast asleep.-Agatba 1'usass, in st.
Nicholas.

"A Boston paper is making public
the fact that two men who were dis
covered by Thackeray to have brains
as well as blood were Bostonians. The
dull Thackeray, however, did not once
suspect that it was the Boston diet that
made these Boston men. In fact,

Scarcity of Churches in Berlin.

The fact is now well known that one

What interest have the women and
children in free whisky and tobacco
They want cheap food and clothing,
and it would be inexcusable to deny
them the boon. Let Congress re-
member the women and the children.

There is talk of railroad connect
ing San, Francisco with Behring
