The musicians respected him be-

them just how to play the difficult
passages. In this rehearsal there
was peculiar passage for the
French horns, which after several
trials did not please him. He said {:

Napoleon and Nine. discard.

One day, during the visit of Fesch,
the little congregation was appalled,
by the noise of a saber clanking and
dragging on the fagstones Of the
hall and of a voice calling imperi-
ously for Gonsalve, one of the young
Isoards. All of the assembly, frozen
with terror, remained rooted to the
spot. After moments hesitation
Nine. discard oourageously opened
the door. The disturber was Ma
poleon. The lady recovered her
calmness and rose to the situation.
"Take off your helmet at once, mon
sieur," she said sternly, land re-
member where you are! My son
will not 60 with you until mass is
finished. Kneel down." Napoleon
submitted with the docility of a
child, and, with every appearance
of recollection, remained to the end.
One of the things Cardinal Fesch
was most vehement in asserting up
to the very close of his life was
that his mighty nephew, throughout
all his erratic career, never for q
moment lost the faith. "-Donahoe's

Many Windsor county farmers
who planted sweet corn for the can
ming factory are disappointed in the
crop this season. which is small be-
cause of the wet, cold weather that
has prevailed during the summer.
1t is claimed by some of them that
they will not get enough for their
corn to pay the cost of getting it to
the factory. A poor corn crop two
wears in succession has q tendency to
discourage many, but most of the
planters will try again next year,
with hope of favorable season.
Monday, 10000 pounds OF corn
was received at the factory and A.
600. ponds of corn and succotash put
up. With continued favorable
weather for maturing corn, it is
hoped to secure corn enough for a
million cans or more.

about five year ago in August, and
it was hotter'n Phil Sheridan in
Texas that year, me and four er five
of the boys come across a peaked
lookin Teller one day with a boss
that we knowed didn't belong to
him. We stopped him very polite
and asst him where he got it, and he
said he was a stranger there and
had nothin but a wagon about seven
mile back and oft the road with a
dead boss hitched to it and sick
little gal in it likely to die, and he
was out seein eff he couldn't find
doctor er a woman Ell somebody to
do somethin. fer the little gal was
all he had on earth and he couldn't
stand to have her die like that. He
told us he had picked up the boss
we found him ridin because he was
not able to walk fast enough and
wouldn't we fer Gods sake tell him
where he could find somebody to
see the little gal and then eff we
wanted to square him up with Texas
fer takin the boss he wouldn't have
word to say.

a story many time, and the first
one that had been spread out before
us saved the mans life and lost us

sufferers that we took up, and we
had been learned a lesson. So when

"That was the end of it fer the

that l reckon l won't fergit eff live
to be thousand years old. There
was only ramshackle old wagon
with Il skeleton of horse in the
shafts, and layin on some old rags
in the wagon was the little bones of
a child, all picked clean and white
by the buzzards, just like the hoss
was.
II kinder choked up when seen
that, and my pardner done the
same, and while was standin there
thinkin he reached down under the
side of the wagon bed and picked
up a slip of paper pinned to the
wood. 1t was wrote on with a lead

'That was all there was to it," he
concluded, land then me and my
pardner looked at each other and
never said word. There was big

and the pore old boss that died in
the harness, but it II take good
deal more'n any funeral to set me
