here to-day by some phenomenal track
laying, no less than 10000 feet of COM

rendered necessary to enable the company
to carry out its programme 20 land the

INGRATITUDE OF NATIONS.
An Instance of 1t Toward a Hero of the
FrancO-German War.


A pathetic story of national ingrati-
tude has been going the rounds of the
London papers, which is interesting
enough to be repeated, especially as it
concerns those days of intense interest
daring which Paris was last in siege.
Publicity has been given it by the fact
that the hero of the incident has just
gone into a French hospital in poverty,
there to die. The Pail Mall Gazette
h u tells the tale:
when the German lines, in the au-
tumn of 1870, were gradually closing
their boa-constrictor grasp round the
doomed capital, DurnOf was the hero
of the hour. An experienced aeronaut,
who had three times been dashed into
h sea and had run many other mar
row escapes, he proposed with his old
balloon Neptune to carry a mail out of
Paris and to run the gauntlet of the
beleaguering armies. At daybreak, on
September %, he set out on his adven-
turous journey, the director of the posts
assuring him, as ne handed in the dis
patches and the pigeons, that his cOur-
age and devotion would meet with a
splendid reward. Durnof succeeded in
his task, and landed safe and sound at
Evreux, but the poor old Neptune was
never fit for another ascent"
"Twenty-twO years elapsed, but the
unhappy a%erOnaut never received a
penny from successive governments.
Even his claim for the value of his bal
loon, which had been used until de-
stroyed by the military authorities,
failed to obtain the slightest recogDi-
ton. After a couple of decades he got
the bronze medal accorded to all who
carried dispatches by balloon, and last
year a small monthly grant was made
which barely sufficed to keep him from
starvation. Swindlers and imposters
of all kinds laid the foundations Of
future fame and fortune in the siege of
Paris, but the first man who opened up
communications between the imprison-
ed inha bitants and the outer world
seems likely to die in dishonor and
despair"

When Bob Carr went to Randolph

called since infancy.
He went to the p~rocator's office TO ma

"Well, sir, what's YOU name ," asked
the Proctor.
Bob started to say Tank" but he held
himself down long enough to think for a
moment.

name, sir, is Robert Emmett Carr.
He notified his family of the change,

BRUNSWICK. Ga. September 14.-Cy
Gaskins, a well-known young man at
tempted to ommit suicide by taking
arsenic yesterday. lie was very sick
last night with a small chance of re-
covery. The attempt was deliberate.
A few minutes after finishing dinner,
Gaskins entered Smiths drug store and
called for his account. The proprietor
was alone. and, after producing tho
bill and receipting part payment. he
waited on a customer who had just en-
tered. Gaskins went behind the pre-
scrlptlOn counter. emptied a bottle of
crude arsenic in his hand. and com
menced chewing it. Reaching a glass
OF water from the soda fOunt to wash
1t down. he remarked that he'd be
dead pretty SOON
Smith seized the hand containing the
poison, but Gaskins had eaten enough
to kill a horse, and after a short tussle
gave up and left the store.
Smith telephOned for DR.. Bishop. and
asked him to take charge of Gaskins,
who, in the meantime, had walked over
to POlhill's drug store and wa attempt
ing " guy more arsenic. BlSnOp
winked at Polhill who refused to sell
without a prescription. Gaskins walk
ed to his place of business and notified
his employer r. V. Douglas of what he
had lone. Douglas did not believe him
and jOked Gaskins about his attempt
but finally became convinced and sent
for DR.. Bishop. The doctor began to
administer medicine. Gaskins was cool
through it all and soon began to
varmit arsenic in broker doses. The
attempt was the result of domestic
troubles. Gaskins has had considera-
bic trouble with his wife. He has just
secured d divorce. Since the divorce
was granted he has been visiting a
young lady. but her parents objected
to his marriage which drove him to
despair.
