The Emperor NapoIeon's hog.

1t was dark. and down a retired
street in Paris man rode alone on
horseback. says the T0ath's Companion.
Suddenly the man stopped as if fright
eued- Then man arose from the
pavement in the middle of the street
and jumped to one side with Il cry.
The rider was angry. and exclaimed:
Are YOU drunk, man. that you lie
about in the middle of dark street 10
get yourself run over?'
You might better lend a poor fell
low hand than scold in that way"
exclaimed the other. 4 had 800 francs
in gold in this bag. carrying it to pay
a bill for my master. and the bag has
broken and it is all lost over the street.
If you have some matches they will do
me more good than your curses
..It's no easy task to find lost money
on night like this" said the rider.

but perhaps 1 can help you. Have
you any of the pieces left?"
''Only one" +" replied the unfortunate
fellow. with sob.
Give it to me-" said the other.
The poor man hesitated. but the
stranger repeated the words in tone
of authority, and the last coin was
handed to him.
Spanish mastiff stood beside him. He
held the coin to the dogs nose. and
leaning to the rough pavement said:
Find them.n
The dog shifted the gold piece and
began the search.
One. two. three; he began bringing
in the coins and dropping them into
his masters hand. while the poor SER
want stood by in silent wonder.
Thirteen times he returned with a
20-franc piece. Then, after a long
search, he came back empty. with a
grunt that seemed to say: There are
no more
1--WE are yet lacking one piece" said
the stranger Are you sure there
were just 800 francs?''
Sure as sure can be, SIR" the SER
want replied.
Then look in the bag again. There
must be one left there"
The man looked and sure enough
found the last gold-piece still there.
''Oh. STRIP he exclaimed. as the
stranger sprang into his saddle, "you
are my deliverer. Tell me your name
that my master may know who has
done him such a service"
.f have done nothing" said the
stranger. Tell your master that the
one who helped you was a very good
and intelligent dog by the name of
Joie."
1t was some years afterward, when
France had seen troubled times and
the royal family was no more, that the
master was telling the incident to a
party of friends, one of whom had been
employed in the palace.
.:Joie! Joie!' he exclaimed. There
never was but one dog of that name
and there never was a more remarkable
and faithful dog than he- He always
accompanied his master when he went
in disguise about the city,"
Who was his master?" they all
asked.
The reply was brief: The Emperor
Napoleon"

be used 10 assist the locomotive on up
grades.

pretty small wire. IL i I-500th of an

ufacturer to Globe-Democrat reporter.
Ordinary fine wire is drawn through
steel plates, but that wouldn't do for
this work, because If the hole wore
away ever SO little it would make the
wire larger, and that would spoil the
job. Instead, it is drawn through what
is practically hole in diamond, to
which of course there is no wear. These
diamond plates are made 10y a woman
in New York, who has a monopoly of
the art in this country. The wire is
then run through machinery. which

thread that is .O015 of an inch in thick
