He said:
Thirty years ago two young men start

door Of the thcatcr. One of the young
men stopped and started for home, but re-
turned and came up to the door, but had
not the courage togoi in. again started
for home and went home The other
young man went In. He went from one
degree Of temptation Ia another. Caught
in the whir! az frivolity and sin, he sank
lower and lower. He lost his business
position; he lost his morals: he lost his
soul; he died dreadful death, not ono

Should the fortunes OF war ever again
expose the city of Paris 10 the hard-
ship of a siege, the besieger would find
the reduction Of the French capital TO
be a far more difficult undertaking

winter of 1901.

compressed fodder and the silo system
have facilitated the storage Of sufil-
cient food for the horses required by
the cavalry as well as by the omnibus

One Of the grayest causes OF distress
during the last siege Of Paris was tho
scarcity and poor quality Of milk. Such
quantities OF this indispensable article
as could be procured were worth their
weight in gold, and the mortality among
infants resulting from their deprivation
Of this necessary food reached a fright

Twenty years ago the art of presery-

in its infancy. but the French Govern

scenery that is neither quiet like the

calls to mind a legend about this an

prior TO the beginning of the century. the
town was almost exclusively a PrOtes-

united its strong walls was written the
following:

reverberations were so startling that

is thickly stationed with boys and girls,
whose business it is to harrass the
sight-seer with demands for coin.
Some yards further on he is accosted
by a female, or several of them, with
milk to quench the thirst, or ''poteen'
to relieve the fatigue and enliven the
spirits. Many there are who make no
pretense of giving quid pro quo; SIM
ply begging for money with innumer-
able excuses and reasons. One OF
which is. that they want to make up

AS the sight-seer emerge from the
Gap he is about eight hahdred feet
above the valley and the lakes. The
upper lake is mile away and not Wis
