He Was Alive.

The grenadiers of the famous "Old
Guard" will never be forgotten in
France as long as the memory of brave
men shall live in the national heart.
But some of them. at least, were as
bright as they were brave, as the fol-
lowing trustworthy anecdote bears wit
ness: One fine morning, after peace
had been concluded between France
and Russia, the two emperors, Napol-
con and Alexander, were taking a short
walk, arm in arm, around the palace
park at Erfurt. AS they approached
the sentinel, who stood at the foot of
the grand staircase, the man, who was
a grenadier of the guard, presented
arms. The emperor of France turned.
and pointing with pride to the great
scar that divided the grenadier's face,
said:
What do you think, my brother, Of
soldiers who can survive such wounds
as that?"
and you," answered Alexander.
what do you think of soldiers that
can inflict them?"
without stirring an inch from his
position, or changing the expression of
his face in the least, the stern old gren-
adler himself replied gravely:
THE man who did it is dead"

Too Much Realism.

There has come of late change over
the spirit of the novel. Its noble uses
have, in far too many instances, been
Initiated by shameful abuses From a
healthful, fertilizing channel it has
been turned into noisome and nox-
ious sewer. It's standards of right and
wrong have been abused. 1t Is viii
lainy that is now triumphant and hon
esty that is crushed. 1t is vice that is
now honored and virtue that is sneered
at and insul.ed. The sane and healthy
view of life no longer attracts the
writer; neither is it made attractive
for the reader-Rabbi Joseph Kraus-
kopf.

He Got the Gold.

Banks are so we'll able to protect

ioy the following account Of how an
unsophisticated customer secured
slight advantage over one Of them. We
borrow the story from an English pa
per. A poor Irishman went to the Of
fee of an Irish bank and asked for
change in gold for fourteen one pound
bank of Ireland notes. The cashier at
once replied that the Cavan bank only
cashed its own notes.
Then you'd We gle me Cavan notes
for these?" asked the countryman in
his simple way.
Certainly" said the cashier, hand
ing out the fourteen notes as desired.
The Irishman took the Cavan notes.
but Immediately returned them to the
official, saying, Would vie gle me gold
for these, sir?"
And the cashier, caught in his OWL
trap, was obliged to do it.

CHAPTER XIII.-(CoNr1Nurp.)

Having no money at one time, was
compelled to make a longer stay than
| intended at a new gold-feld, where
l fell in with a mate after my own
mind. We sunk shaft, and got more
gold than / had ever possessed; my
share of a fortnight's work was two
hundred and seventy ounces. diun
like to keep so much gold about me-
nor did my mate, so we gave IL INTO
the charge of a man named hlcharu
Farley, who had opened a deposit
bank. My mate took the gold to hlm'
end brought back the receipt. never
set eyes on the man. He didn't act
fairly to us, for one fine morning he
made himself scarce, and and my
mate. and lot of others, had to whls-
tie for our gold-and then it didn't
come. We vowed Death to him II he
ever crossed our path; and | got
description of him from my mate; a
short. thin scoundrel, with iron-gray
hair on his face, hanging almost from
his eyes-to hide his villainy l sug-
gested. However, we got more gold,
and l saved over hundred ounces
which was not fool enough this time
to part with.
Well, we had pretty nigh worked
out this claim, when l had dream

The trial of Pedro Masso. Louise Monceau and
Eugene BRAND was begun before Judge Brown and
a jury In the United States Criminal Court yester-
day. The charge against the three prisoners Is that
they were concerned In the bringing OF girl from
Hayre to this country for immoral purposes. Masso
was one of the four prisoners who recently escaped
from Ludlow Street Jail. and he alone was
captured. Among the witnesses for the prosecution
was william Roe. the suspended Warden OF Ludlow
Street JAIL who told OF Massos escape. and OF how
he and the others had gained their liberty. which
proved only temporary In Massos He said
the escapes had been facilitated by the prisoners
having the liberty OF the corridors from a. M until
d. m. but that now they were confined strictly to
their own portion OF the jail. No prisoners con-
fined the floor from which the prisoners escaped
he said. and United States prisoners were pro-
hibited from going that tier On the day OF their
escape a lock had been put on the door through
which the prisoners made their way. The lock was
simply screwed on. and not riveted on. 1t would
only take few minutes to remove IL with screw
driver. During meal hours the doors to the United
States prisoners corridor was usually left open.
