Life In the, Cafes.
Nor are there any commons such as
are customary In this country. The
students, as a rule take three meals
at the nearby cafes and many of these
are named from the provinces of
France, with the view and result of
drawing the patronage of the young
men who come from the country to at
tend the university or to study art.
This arrangement has not only the
advantage Of bringing fellow country
men together but also the further and
more necessary advantage of opening
up for the student 4 line of credit that
is OF mutual benefit to the student and
the restaurateur. For the shrewd
landlord is usually native OF the prov
ince whose name is displayed on the
sign that swings over his door, and he
keeps himself posted on the affairs
of the district from which he comes,
SO that the son of well-to-do provin-
cial finds ever n smiling countenance
and an opportunity to incur debts that
is only limited by his fathers reputa-
ton OF ability and willingness to pay
them. Indeed. in some rare case. n stu
dent in the vacation time has pliChted
his troth to Il fiancee whose dot was
fixed and known, and upon this
strength OF n promise TO pay on this
contingency he has succeeded in living
far more hilariously than his means
would otherwise have permitted.
And the full meaning OF credit at n
students cafe in Paris can only be ap-
preciated by those who have sat at the
tables on the sidewalks of Paris under
the bright awnings and watched the
students with their grisettes as they
dined in the early morning or supped
after the theater, balls or the numerous
cafes chantants.

Democrats to do their duty when the Leg

it said: "In the Second Ward OF Paw
tucket IL is charged that the warden in
collision with corrupt agents outside the
rails, violated every provision OF tbesecret
ballot law. One has only to look at the
reports furnished by the reporters of the
