Not a Common Offender.

Recently in Paris person who is
classed as poet was sent to prison for
an assault with intent to commit muir
der, and his case recalls that of another
poet, Chapon by name, who about the
middle of the present century ended his
days in prison for theft. Chapon was,
indeed, an inveterate thief, and was APP
pretended more than once. At the
prison Of Ste. Pelagie, during his incar-
ceration, Chapon once met Felix Pyat,
revolutionist and communist, who was
generally in prison for some political
otfense. As political prisoners were
generally semitic Ste. Pelagie, ard as Cha
pom was somewhat pretentious and
well-educated person, Pyat supposed
that he, too, had been sentenced for
some revolutionary attempt. So, step

hands and said, with friendly smile;

Against Fast Freight Lines.

The feeling against fast freight lines
is growing. This is what Chauncey NJ.

tweRtyeght fast freight lines on our
fight for tonnage regardless of rates.
What they report to the officers of
their lines of bad faith on other lines is
believed, and then comes the order,

TO just those times when heavy doctors bills

Concerning the tramps. That we
