Francs and "a Lawsuit.
The complainant in n recent law suit
at Narbonne, France, made oath that he
was one day dining on the terrace, or
open air space fronting on the sidewalk.
where French people are wont TO take
their meals in summer. He had just be-
gun to eat his soup when it occurred
to him to count some money that he
had short time before received. In
counting it he accidentally let fall a
100-franc bank pote into his soup.
Instantly he fished il out OF the plate
with his fork and sent the soup away;
but the bank note was saturated and
he laid il down on the tablecloth 10 dry.
He was going on with his meal when
a little gust of wind blew the bill off
the table It's owner jumped after IL,
but wandering dog which had been
hungrily watching the meal was quick
er than he, and seized il. The taste OF
the soup on the paper made il an edible
thing TO the animal, and it was swal-
lowed imam instant.
And then the man who owned the bill
was, though bursting with rage, re-
duced to the humiliation and insin-
cerity of saying: Good doggiel Come
here, nice doggie." and TO the employ
ment OF smiles and wheedling ways, in
order TO get near enough TO the animal
to read the name engraved on his col
lar. But he succeeded. and when he
had made n note of the name, he as
sisted the good doggie's' rapid de-
parture.
Next he brought suit against the
man who owned the dog for the resti-
tuition of the 100 francs; and the court
at Nnrbonne, after hearing the eyi.
dence and the pleas at great length, de
cided that the owner of the dog must
pay the other man the money.

How They became the Inspiration OF
an Honorable Life.

During the civil war the martial feel
ing of the time excited American chill
dren as well as American men. But in
country home in the state of Maine
lived little boy who neither owed his
interest in the great conflict to the ex-
ample of soldier father nor showed IL
in military play. The boy was not Yes
ten years of age; old enough 10 thrill
at the beat of drums and the marshai-
ing of departing troops, but not old
enough fully TO understand the mean
ing of all the commotion.
His father was ineligible for service.
His mother was not strong, but she had
the heart of patriot. and she was de-
voted 20 the cause Of freedom. Love Of
country was TO her next TO the love of
God. Her loyalty 20 its flag was as true
as her faith in her Bible.
Through all those troubled years, this
woman was constant and unwearicd In
her efforts to help the union cause. She
picked lint, and her boy helped her.
wondering. She made jcllies, and her
boy stirred the kettle while she an
swered childish questions about the
terrible times. She talked TO him daily
about the honor OF the old flag, and
told him that every one in those days
must show his colors or be branded as
traitor.
"What Is showing colors.' mother?"
he asked, much awed by her manner.

Thereupon she began to knit pair
Of white mittens, and upon the back
of each one she fashioned the stars and
stripes, knitting them in, as she went
along, so that they were part OF the
wool of the mittcns.
Standing by her side the boy watched
her shining needles. She gave him the
history of the flag as she threaded the
rcd, white and blue into her work. She
told him how many and how great had

listened, he felt as If he were standing
on holy ground.
There" she said. grayely, when tho
mittens were done, "when you wear
these you will show your colors. You
must always show them"
So the little boy wore the patriotic
mittens; for the first time TO church.
He was proud Of them, and he never for
got their pictured lesson. Enthusiasm
for freedom and country. fidelity to
truth and duty, love Of honor and right
had all been knit into his young life
By his good mothers teachings. as her
needles had knit the flag into his nit
tens.
Years after the war was overland
the little worn-out pair OF mittens had
been laid away-the faithful mother
died; but the boy had become a man.
The time came. as IL happens TO every
man Of affairs, with the temptations OF
the world around him. when Il seemed
more profitable 10 be shrewd and un-
scrupulous than 20 be strictly upright.
In his Office hung n strange little pie
turc. There. mounted in a neat frame,
behind protecting glass, were the lden-
tical mittcns his mother had knit for
him so long ago; the very pair, with the
Stars and Stripes on their bucks, that
he had worn I'm the old days when sho
told him he must show his colors.

tens wrought by the fingers Of dead
mother were a monitor 10 him.
A little while ago he sent the writer
n photograph OF them. They are wor-
thy OF place in the paper, for they tell
the story Of a childhood influence that
became the inspiration Of an honorable
and manly life.
