Tawe, bright little river which
hurries seward, babbling and rip

splendent, with an almost regal air,
commanding an impressive view of
the broad valley and its picturesque
surroundings.

COLLECTING DEBTS IN FRANCE.


Points Of Difference Between the syste"
There and In This Country
The matter practiced in the coliec-
ton Of debts in France and IN the
United States does not differ mater
ally save in the collection and the
mode of procedure. The first step
which is necessary for creditor IN
France to take before he can use le-
gal means 10 collect debt due HIM
is to obtain judgment against the
debtor. which is rendered by JUS
tice of the peace. provided the
smount does not exceed $40. Inc de-
PENDANT is required toappear in court
on certain day and arrange Tor q
settlement Of the account and pay a
part or the whole OF it or show cause
why.
If this arrangement is not made,
the defendant is a second time sum
moned to appear, and should he
then fatty refuse payment judgment
is rendered against him. The cost
of Judgment, together with that OF
the summons, is betrayed by the
plaintiff and a copy Of the former
sent TO the debtor. He then has
three months grace to appeal before a
civil court from the judgment already
handed down Failing to exercise
this privilege. the matter is put IN
the hands Of a ''huissier, whose
functions partake Of those Of both
the bailiff and process server, but his
methods as well as his perogatives
resemble neither one nor the other.
The huissier upon request Of the
creditor makes an abstract state
ment Of the condition of the debt,
the fee for preparing and serving the
same varying according TO the
length of the instrument and not &C.
cording TO the importance Of the
debt. Its average cost. however, may
be placed at 81 so.
In case the debtor ignores the doc
ument an designation" is served
upon him. and eight days thereafter
his furniture is seized and placed in
the hands of the huissier The ex-
pense entailed in the preparation Of
these notices is betrayed by the cred
itor, but if at any moment the debt
or agrees to liquidate in full he is not
only required by law to discharge
his original obligation, but to add to
1t the costs of the judgment and fees
of the huissier. Whether this sys-
tenn is better than the plan pursued
in the United States is a matter OF
opinion. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

A New Hampshire physician sends

ical condition. He is extremely nervous,
suffers much from insomnia. and the irri
liability OF his temper is matched by the
sensitiveness Of his cuticle. Those who
know him make allowances for these things
and receive his structures with good humor
even when they cannot agree with him.
But there is generally some meat in Mr.
Hewitt's discourses, just as there is the in
centive of noble example in his career. OF
which 1t may not be amiss just now to give
an outline He was born at Haverstrnw,
n. Y. in 1922 and received his early train
ing in the public schools of New York city
In special competition with other public
school boys he won prize scholarship at
Columbia college and was thus able to Sc
cure a liberal education. He graduated at
the head OF his class in 1912. During his
college course he supported himself by tu-
toring, and after graduating he acted as in
structOr in mathematics, at the same time
studying law.
In 1874 Mr. Hewitt was admitted TO the
bar, and having saved 81 600 spent it on a
trip to Europe with his classmate Edward
Cooper, whose business partner and brother
in-law he afterward became Having prac-
tically ruined his eyesight by excessive
reading, he found himself untitled to prac-
tice law and went into the firm of Cooper &;
Hewitt. to which Edward Cooper's father,
Peter Cooper. the philanthropist, turned
over the iron interests OF his own business.
The young men made great success of
this business and in various other fields,
and both Of them subsequently served New
York city in the Office of mayor
Mr. Hewitt was elected to congress In
1874 and served till 1886. He was chairman
of the Democratic national committee in
1875 and introduced in congress the famous
electoral commission bill for the settlement
OF the Hayes-Tilden election dispute. He
was elected mayor of New York in 1886. the
