General Greely's Pun.

General Greedy of arctic fame is as
distinguished in the social circles where
he is known as in the field of polar ex-
plbration. Brave and gallant, he is a
great favorite in society, but it is doubt
full If he has anywhere a more ardent
admirer than one small maiden to whom
he stands as a knight ''sans reproche."
She was the hosts daughter at an aft
ernoon reception when General Greedy
vas the lion Of the occasion. The bellies
of the town were directing all their vol
ley Of superlative and bewitching
chances at the hero, who, however, ig-
nored these enticements and asked to
accompany the 12-year-old miss to the
dining room. Delighted beyond measure
at this unexpected attention, the child
accepted and went proudly off, scarcely
knowing whether the salad he brought
her were chicken or sawdust. The crown
ing joy came, however, when, talking
to her as if she chad been Mrs. Cleve-
land, ito quote her W words, her COM
panion asked how many brothers and
sisters she had.

FRENCH BARBARlTY At YAFA.
Thousands Of Prisoners Were Shot Down
After the Surrender.

After the Surrender.
No French victory was ever marked
by such unbridled license as that which
the victorious troops practiced at Yafa.
But what followed was worse, for the
prisoners of war were too numerous for
the ordinary usage. For some days they
were treated according to the terms Of
quarter they had exacted. On the 18th
a council of war unanimously voted that
the old rule under which no quarter is
given to defenders in an assault should
be applied to them. For three days b.
naparte hesitated, but ON the goth his
decision was taken. A few Egyptians
were sent home and the remainder Of
the prisoners, together with the 500
militia from Ell Arish, were marched to
the beach and shot. In the report to the
directory the number was put at 1, 200.
Two eyewitneSses estimated it-one at
5000, the other aaF4 600.
"Ihave been severe with those of your
troops who violated the laws Of war;"
wrote the author Of the deed to Jezzar.
No mention of the fact or excuse for it
was made in any Of his other CORE
%spondence at the time. All winter long
he had been dealing as an oriental with
%orientals, and this vas but a piece Of
the same conduct. The code of Christian
morality was far from his mind. In Jan
uary, for instance, he had ordered Mu-
rat to kill all the prisoners of "a hostile
tribe in the desert whom he could not
bring away, and in the same month
identical orders We're issued to Berthier
concerning another existing horde.
The plea which is made by the eulo-
gists of Napoleon and by some recent
military writers for this wholesale exc
cution is that among these slaughtered
men the garrison of Ell Arish, which
had surrendered, had been found again
with arms in their hands; that they
were deserving of death according to all
the laws of war, and that, as to the rest,
there were no French pr%isonersfor whom
to exchange them and no provisions to
support them, consequently their pres
ence with the army would jeopardize it's
success, and it was therefore justifiable
to diminish the enemy's resisting power
by their execution. Those who believe
shat war, whether just or unjust, justi-
lies any barbarity which will lead to
speedy victory will agree with that
opinion. Professor W. NJ. Sloane's
Life of Napoleon" in Century.

AMENDED HER LIST.
h Now Declares That Lawyers Come
Under the Head Of Nuisances.


A few evenings ago q lawyer living
in West Philadelphia was visited at his
residence by an indignant woman, who
declared that she had come for legal ad-
vice, and in a businesslike manne de-
posted On his table q IS note Is q re-
tanning fee. After pocketing the money
the man Of law politely requested her
she was continually afflicted with a Sc
ries Of ~nuisances which she desired the
lawyer to have abolished.
She was annoyed by a neighbor on
one side, she said, who is a music teach
er and trainer of the voice. The con-
slant humping o. the piano and the
dlscordant notes of the vocal students
made her very nervous. On the other
side the neishbor kept chickens, which
awoke her early in the morning by their
growing and annoyed her during the
day by flying over the fence and invad-
ing her premises. Day and night she
was made nervous by the noise Of the
trolley cars passing her door, organ
grinders and peddlers made her life mis-
CAADlSy htShotClS ttttliCu W IST ullStTN
by calling their wares, and she wanted
to know what action she must take in
order to be made free of such n%uisances.
The lawyer reflected a few moments
with compressed brow, and then said,
Madam, you are decidedly unfortu-
nate, and my advice to you is that you
go to Il real estate agent and engage him
to secure for you u nice comfortable
dwelling in the suburbs of some coun-
try village, where the nearest Deighbor
is a quarter Of a mile away, organ grind
ers unknown, trolley cars unheard of,
and where hucksters and peddlers do
not come. Realizing that she was IS
out, the woman replied, I'm do as you
say and include among the others that
no lawyers must exist III the same coun-
ty. "-Philadelphia Record.
