Two Italians CuiIlotined i'm
France.

From Galignanis Messenger.
Two Italians. Exposito and Tegami.
were executed at AK Oct. s. The fell.
lows were game to the very last. They
had been condemned to death for bur-
glaries and murders. Deibler, the state
executioner, arrived from Paris with
four assistants. M. de Paris wanted
to put up at the hotel de la Mule
Noire, but the proprietor of that es.
Establishment refused to let him remain
there, as he had several young women
in the place, who had come to AK in
order to pass examinations for school
board certificates. In the south OF
France criminals are coffined and bur.
led after decapitatlon by religious
confraternity called the "Blue -Peni-
tents" These people were apprlsed. of
the approaching execution and
they accordingly began to pray
with all their fervor Tor the condemn
ed men, whom they had figuratively
taken to their hearts as brethren.
They also had the collins prepared.
When the men were taken to the
place where they were to have their
hair cut Tegami cried out that they did
not want the priest, and as he was led
out first to the guillotine, he turned
around to his companion and exclaim-
ed "Corraggio." He had q cigarette
between his lips as the prison door
opened. opposite WINGED a little and
turned deadly pale when he saw his
companions head fall off. The chap
lain noticed it, and tried to exhort the
man to repentance, but his ministra-
tions were roughly rejected. When all
was over the Blue Penitents put the
bodies in collins and buried them in
the customary manner.

where Dickens Got His Genius.

In your issue OF. Tuesday last you re-
fer to statement of an Indian paper re-
garding the grandmother of Charles
Dickens. AS there are some inaccura.
cies in the story quoted by you,
especially so far as it refers to the frs.
Lady Houghton, you may possibly al
low me to send you the correct version
as heard it many years ago from Lady
Houghton herself. Old Mrs. Dickens
was not a nurse, but housekeeper at
Crewe at the time of the first Lord
Crewe, the grandfather of the present
holder of the title, and of his sister, the
first Lady Houghton. well remember
Lady Houghton speaking to me with
enthusiasm of Mrs. Dickens wonderful
powers as story teller. It was her de-
light as child to listen to the tales
which the old lady was able to relate
with SO much dramatic force and feeling
and it was with the greatest interest that
later on in life, Lady Houghton recog-
nized in the illustrious author of "David
Copperfeld" the grandson of the favor
had one grievance which Lady Hough-
ton still recalled when she told me about
her. It was the conduct of her son
John, Charles father, against whose
idleness and general incapacity she was
never tired of inveighing. There have
been many conjectures as to the source
from which Dickens derived his wonder
full gift as story teller, but I believe
that, until the publication of the article
to which you refer, nothing has ever
been printed regarding his grandmother.
It is hardly far fetched fancy to sup
pose he inherited his special gift from
the old housekeeper. at Crewe.-[Lon-

She Would Not Say Yes.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
At Decatur, ILL.,, an attempted fore
I'D marriage came to q sensational
termination recently before Ira B.
Curtis, a magistrate, and in the pres
,nce of a dozen people. Philip Davis
brought his eighteen-year- old daugh-
ter, Barbara Davis, from Mount Zion,
on the afternoon train, to marry
James Fair, a young man aged
"a, employed by DR.. A. s. Waltz of
Decatur. The license was procured in
due form, and the couple stood up in
the Office to respond to the
usual interrogations. Fair did
so quite readily, but when it came
Barbara's turn she camly replied that
she did not love James and would not
marry him. The surprise was too
much for Curtis, who tossed the GER
tifcate over to the rejected groom and
said that ended the business for him.
The father of the young lady step
ped forward and had a low talk with
his daughter, but she was immov-
able, and, giving no reasons, left the
room and started for home in a wagon
with a neighbor. It was learned that
Barbara's parents have been trying
to force the marriage for some months.
She told a woman that her father
had whipped her for saying she
would not marry Fair. The groom
walked off up the street, badly disap-
pointed. The father was enraged, but
he could do nothing.

Are Children,s Parties Going Out.

Do you know it is really sad verify
that the children's party, with games
and romps, is an obsolete cumula-
ton of youth? That naive and inter-
esting event in childhood has COM
pletely gone out. I was talking to
some youngsters on the subject last week
when, to my horror, one of them, age
six, informed me that she ''hated
games!" And her brother, who is three
years her senior, boldly declared, cit
was no fun going to girls parties;"-a
bit of bad English, by the way, for
which his mamma reproved him, though
the blase sentiment it covered passed
unnoticed. This young gentleman
further remarked that 'Regy" said 80,
too. ''Kegy'' is unknown to me, but I
feel I am in the minority, and those de-
ightful romps of "Hunt the Slipper"
and kiss in the Ring" are terribly
out of date, if he says so" ''But what
do you do when you go to your parties?'
I queried. "Oh, they amt parties" he
said in contemptuous tone. 'They
are balls, aren't they, mamma, and we
dance the cotilions, don't we, mammal"
'Of course" assented mamma, with
smile in my direction. "Well, you
poor, little, misguided mites of society"
I said to myself, ''you will never know
whata jolly good time you have lost. "

His Proposals.

He was about to pop, the question
to the girl of his choice, and was try
ing to decide how he should do it.
First he thought of the knightly
proposal, in the style OF the middle
ages: "By my halidome, fair maid,
say thou wilt be mine. and the holy
friar shall unite us ere another sun
gilds the turrets OF the City HALL"
Then he considered the theatrical
style: 81 have long loved you in Sc.
cret, ee-ur-r-l, and though / am not rich,
can offer you the true and unselfish
devotion OF me whole ha-a-r-r-tW
He thought perhaps the easy con-
versational style might do: "Well,
Alicia-I may call you Alicia, mayn't
1?-every one thinks we are going to
be married. Hal hal Suppose we do
get married, just to please 'em!"
But, after all, he did it something
like this: "Er-Miss Alicia-er-ex-
cuse the familiarity; but-er-er-will
you-er-Oh, Lord!" and then she
came to the rescue, andsaid: "That'1l
do, Willie, dear; it's all right, and !
know papa and mamma will be SO
pleasedl"-Puck.

The Editorial "We."

About as absurd an example OF the
use-or abuse-of the nearly obsolete
editorial 1--WE" on record is the follow.
ing from a Mississippi newspaper:
zone night, while we were writing an
editorial on the financial condition of
the county, some fend in human
shape threw a brick through the win
dow and struck us on our head. We
fell to our floor and lost our senses.
How long we remained in our condi-
ton of Inconsistencies, we know not.
The first thing we remember was being
taken up by Major Gribner. our good
friend. We were taken into drug
store where our wound was dressed.
Our wife and children soon came, and
we7were taken to our home. We are
naturally indignant over this coward
ly attack upon US, and we offer a
years subscription to our paper to
the man who discovers who it was
that hit u.s."
This goes ahead of the statement of
. writer in the Christian Union some
years ago: "When we were travelling
In the White Mountains with our
wife"

Harry and Hans,

The position of the German soldier
is contrasted with that of British
soldier by a writer in Blackwood's
Magazine, who says: ''The position
of the German peasant soldier may
bring with it certain inconvenience
to which his friends in civil. life are
not exposed, but for these compensa-
ton is made by the respect in which
heis everywhere held. and the privil-
eyes which his uniform commands for
him" On the contrary. in England,
no matter what the immediate motive
OF enlistment, whether a momentary
caprice or some less credible cause, the
act Itself is looked upon in his own
circle as a degradation. The boys
parents still, it is believed, regard
their soldier son as a lost creature,
and for awhile at least are ashamed
OF him when he comes home on a fur

very long ago since anon-commission
ed officer in the Household Cavalry,
who presumed to enter the coffee
room of Windsor hotel wearing the
uniform of his regiment, was ordered
by the innkeeper to withdraw, his
presence being distasteful to the trav-
cling bagmen by whom the house was
chiefly frequented. And simu!tane-

Gallery that admission to such places

The author thinks q change for the
better is beginning to manifest itself,
but asks: "How long will it be before
the voluntarily enlisted man shall
hold his head as high as the conscrlpt,
who, whether he hail from the cottage
or the shop or the mansion of a Won,
is treated wherever he goes as one OF
the elite of Prussia's sons?"

From the Chicago Mail.
When Judge McAllister had given
his decision against Dan Wren, some
Of the old lawyers were talking and
one of them retold this story. It will
not be new to the old settlers. but a
good many thousand have come into
Chicago since the incident.
An employe of the Adams Express
Company had been assaulted in his
car while in the discharge of his duty.
The combat between him and the
robbers was one of the most heroic in
the history Of train robberies. The
messenger had In his safe about $780,.
600. He was riddled by bullets and
fought like tiger. He was wounded
in four or five places. He saved the
money of the company almost at the
sacrifice of his fife. The company
made him a present of 81, 900. Some
time after the messenger in a specula-
tive mood, when he heard or thought
he heard, fortune knocking at his door,
took funds OF the company and in
vested them and lost. The same
old story. Tine amount was
trifing. The man was arrest
ed and indicted. His wife, q
devoted one as the sequel proved,
used every device which a woman's
ingenuity could scheme. Such events
test q woman's capacity to be heroic.
She went East and importuned the
president of the express company for
mercy, but came back with no word
of promise. The case was to be tried
by Judge McAllister. In her despera-
ton the woman did what few lawyers
would have dared attempt. She went
to Judge McAllister and plead her
cause. She had papers to satisfy him
OF the action of her husband in de-
fence of the company's funds. Meal
lister listened to her and it is believed
that he investigated the case before it
came to trial, and learned that the
wife's story was true in every detail.
On the hearing of the case, Judge Nc
Allister said he would postpone de-
cision in the case until next day, when
he wanted as many people to be on
hand as desired to come.
On the following day the. court
room was crowded. The prisoner was
told to stand up. McAllister then re.
viewed the case, giving graphic recital
OF the fight which the messenger had
to save the company's funds. Then
turning to the prisoner, he said: II
discharge you. and in doing SO take
all the responsibility upon myself.
am willing to face the world in this
decision"
The decision and description OF the
scene were deliberately given the next
morning, and no murmur-not even
from the express company-has been
heard about it from that day to this.
