---.O - GRAVE OF LAFAYETTE.
Americans Tell of g Visit They Paid

IO |.
 Of the one hundred thousand Ameri- cans who yearly go 10 Paris, it is safe to say that very few ever visit the last resting place of Lafayette. l. lies far from the haunts Of American pleasure seekers who frequent. the Champs Ely sees, the splendid Shops. the opera house and theaters, or even the galleT- ics Of the Louvre and Luxembourg, or the many ancient historic buildings raised by the genius Of man.
 One spring day a trip of about four miles carried Hs over to the Place du Irene. Nearby, in the Rue Picpus, we came to gray old walls of the Convent of Les Danes du Sacre CCcur. The mild-cyCd, gray-haired sister who an- swcred the bell consigned lis at once to the one man allowed about the place "a White-haired, courteous gardener. He hailed us with Joy when he found We were Americans, who had come far to see the grave of 1.afayette-Ameri- cas- beloved friend and ally in the rev olutiOn.
 "Helas, mes dames," sighed the old man: but few oi your nation come here to pay respect to the memory Of the great hero, Lafayette" Then he led us through quaint old garden. with high walls shutting it in from the street and neighboring open lots.
 NO hands but mine have tended these plants for over thirty years" Lovingly the old gardener waved his hand toward the close-clipped taIlis, the trelises covered with g1apevines, the luxuTiant towering shrubs and gay flowers.

LITTLE HARRY's FIRE KING ACT.

Chicago, Nov. 22-Lit5!e Harry Ber- man was showing his playmates how to De a great magician with the aid of 9 mouthful of gasoline and a parlor match That is about as far as Harry has been able 10 tell the story. Harry is 12 years old. Once he went to 2 cir GUS, where a man greatly astOnished him by eating fire. After that a big boy at school told him that the man didn't really eat fire; that he just filled his mouth with gasoline and set It on fire.
 He wanted several boys to see him do his at today. He does not remember, however what really did happen after he squirted the gasoline at the match blaze. The other boys do n0o recall very much about it, either. They thought little Harry had exploded.
 "Oh, it was an awful sight" said one of the little boys. He was jus doin' the great act lovely when he blew up"
 He will recover in 8 few days, and has promised never to become a great magician again.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
