When His Nerve Failed.

The cruelties Of the French revolution
lose nothing by the manner in which
Baron Ferdinand Rothschild has de-
scribed them in his book:
"By far the most wantonly savage of
the Republican commissioners was Le-
bon, who exercised the powers Of pro-
consul at Arras. The Marquis de Well
fort was lying bound under the knife Of
the guillotine when Lebon, who was
looking OH from the balcony of a neigh
boring house, made sign to suspend
the execution. The mob, fancying he
meant to pardon the condemned man,
were greatly surprised at such unwont-
ed clemency on his part. Lebon, how
ever, took newspaper from his pocket,
read out a long account Of a victory the
Republican army had just gained and
ended by shouting to the marquis, vii
lain. go and inform your friends of the
news Of our victories.
''Michelet relates that man known
for his colossal strength and iron nerve
betted that he would stand by and see
the executions from first to last without
faltering. For some time he unfiinch.
ingly bore the sight, but when a young
girl named Nichole, a mere child, step
ped forward, lay down ON the plank
and gently asked the executioner, Am
I right this way?' his brain reeled and
he dropped in q dead faint"

From comparison of the relative in

This IL mn after dinner story told by

brother the left front quarter and the
younger brothers the two hind quarters
Now, unfortui ntely, the cat In ono of
its nocturnal prowls injured the right
front paw, and the elder brother at
tended TO that portion Of his property
by binding the injured member with u
creased rag. The cat, thankful for this
relief to its suffering, went to sleep
contentedly before the fire, but In the
midst Of its slumbers falling coal ig.

with agony. dashed through the ware.

com bustibles, set the building ON fire.
When the loss came to be figured out.
the three younger brothers wished to
throw IL all upon the elder, upon the
ground that had he not tied up his part
of the cat with tho inflammable rag tho
building would not have been destroy
ed. He. on the contrary, contended that
had the cat only been possessed of the
front right paw-his property-it would
have stood still and burned TO death IL
was the three other paws that caused
the damage. The brothers argued the
case until they died, but could never
reach an agreement. nt.-Philadelphia Rec

Joint Debate At Green Valley.

'The lion was scared and put to
flight by the bray of an ass" The
Green Valley school house was filled
to ite utmost capacity Wednesday
evening Oct eth, with people, who
were anxious to listen to a Joint dis
cussion on issues which are of vital
Importance to the day laborer, agri-
culturist and the business man. The
people of Green Valley realize that
there is never tiring spirit lurking
about the living fountain of human
ity, and speaking in whispers too full
of meaning to tell. Saying never be-
fore in the history of our country
have the masses been bound into
slavery by such CALLING irons. Never
before has destitution and starvation
converted the pardise of SO many
homes into such bowling wilderness. y
The people are asking whenever be-
fore were such unjust laws enacted
and placed upon 4 people as now?
When ever before has aristocracy ar
rayed itself against the common
classes in such a contemplate man
ner? When ever before has mob and
riot filled the streets of our cities and
devastated the property of our viii
lagos. The people of Green Valley
have their eyes open. They feel the
oppression and see the destitution
and they are boldly and manfullv
asking a redress of all unjust legisla-
tion and are demanding the emanci-
patton of the common classes. The
speakers of the evening were Messrs
Winfield Steel and Seth Cope. These
men have been close neighbors and
good citizens of New Home township
and are loyal comrades; yet their
ideas are as different as discord and
harmony. BY agreement Mr. Cope
led the debate. The discussion of the
evening was upon general principles.
Mr. Cope talked at some length upon
the so-called abuse of American pa
triotism. He practically omitted the
monetary question, thinking that bv
so doing he would give his opponent
better opportunity to raise the
pending shadows by his golden bril-
liancy. His talk was practical and
received great applause. Mr. Steel, in
the course of his speech, seemed to
lose sight of the all important topic
Of the evening, the money question,
and in so doing he provoked no little
disappointment Men shun that which
they hate and cieave to that which

demonstration that even he gets little
satisfaction out of the clanking chains
of golden tyranny. The only rough
feature of Mr. Steers speech was his
display of the sword and his fling of
the bloody shirt, which sent fire into
the hearts and crimson into the faces
of his hearers. He was like the lion
that was scared at the bray of an ass.
The sudden explosion of Mr. Cope s
rough hewn eloquence made him long

speech he made short apology and
took his hastv departure. The re-

with Mr. Cope's home like eloquence
on the important issues of the day.
The crowd Jared sumptuously and the
speaker was frequently interrupted
by loud cheering.
