admitted and the governor listened to

fullest possible discussion Of the situa-

session he would embody a recon-
mendation 70 the legislature that the
convict lease system be modified Ii not
repealed. In the meanwhile, pending
election, the convicts would have

from which they had been evicted. If
the miners should agree not to modest
them until such time as the legislature
could act, the militia would be sent home.
The committee from the miners. Ill

Something about this BastiIle, of which so
much has been written. sung and told, is APP
propriate on the anniversary of its fall. By
turns a fortress. state prison and an ordin>
airy Jail, it played an Important part in the
history of France and witnessed many
tragical scenes during the four centuries
OF its existence. Owing TO pc
caliar circumstances. notably It's to-
biographical situation, 1t has had created
for it q renown so great that, OF sH the other
fortresses which co-operated equally with
it In the defense of Paris its memory Alone
survives. Its importance was such that 1t
has long since lost its original and true
name of the BaStiIles Of Saint Antoine, and
has been known only Astbe Bastille. at
AT all times the Bastlle attracted atten-
ton. During its existence the INTEREST 1t
aroused was mingIed1 with terror, lsffen
justified, which closed all lips. One harHiv
dared to express an opinion upon this colossal
edifice of stone, so TRuch did people fear
that an imprudent word might lead TO their
incarceration within It's walls. Their mys-
terious fear existed long after the fort :eSs
mad ceased to be in reality terror 10 any
but Law breakers, long after the wretched
state prisouers-most of them held in
durance on account Of private IN slice-had
all been set free, long after the building
itself had ceased to be anything more than
a common jail.

you shall be very careful to tell them ex-
actly what route to co. so that thew NAV
have no excuse for not obeying. Finally,
the missive should be we'll buttered and
thrust into the rat-whole. l once saw such
a letter that was written to a colony of rats
in all seriousness by the owner of the
premises which they were desired to vacate.
1t read: 'Messrs. Rats: You nre respectfully
asked to leave my house before noon on the
first of next month. II you should not do
so, you will be much disturbed, because in
that event l propose TO tear down
