A BIT OF EASTERN HISTORY.
How the Fearless Dean Drove Away
Napo1eon's Army.

In the year 1889 the armies of the
great Napoleon We're passing over the
continent of Europe like mighty flood
that swept all before it, says the New
York Tribune" One beautiful Easter
morning the rising sun shone brightly
on a little town on the borders of Aus
tria, beautifully situated on the peaceful
III. an aff1uent Of the Rhine. As the
sun rose higher there suddenly appear
ed on the nights above the town to the
west of Feldkirch the glittering weap-
ons of $4,000 French soldiers. command
ed by Massena, one of Napoleon's Cen
erals. There was no time for defense,
but there was a hurried assembling, Of
the town council and it was decided
that a deputation be sent to Massena
with the keys of the town and a petit
ton for mercy In the midst of the
hurrying to and fro, and the anxious
consultation the old dean of the church
stood up tranquil as the morning, With
no thought of fear in his brave old
heart.
1T is Easter Day. he said. I'VE
have been reckoning on our strength,
and that fails. Let US ring the bells
and have service as usual, and leave
the matter in higher hands"
Soon from all the church towers of
Feldkirch the bells rang out joyously
and the streets became thronged With
worshipers on the way to church. Loud
err and more triumphantly pealed the
bells, ringing out the glad message,
Christ is risen, He is risen from the
dead.'' The French heard the sounds
of rejoicing and Massena. concluding
that the Austrian army had arrived in
the night broke up his camp and al
most before the bells had ceased. ring
ing the French army was in orderly re-
treat and not a soldier nor glittering
bayonet was to be seen on the nights

EXCITING MOMENT.
The Statesman in Spite Of the Con-
fusion Got the Floor.

Upon the steps of the Capitol stood a
statesman.
He brushed his silk hat with his coat
sleeve, smoothed his black hair down
with the palm of his hand and felt his
necktie to see if it was on straight. A
look of dismay was gradually suppressed
ed by the expression of benignant calm
which his constituents were accustomed
to see in his campaign portraits. He
was about to descend the steps when q
colleague called to him. He was ap-
preaching with the nervous tread of
man who would like to run if it Were
not undignified.

At twilight it's rapture and rest

THE GRAND LEADER ROBBED.
The Second Time Within the Past
 Few Weeks.

sometime Saturday night burglars entered the Grand Leader store and partook lberally of almost every kind or mems wearing apparel to be found Entrance was made by breaking out q window light in one of the rear win dows of the store. It is difficult to know how much was stolen. The gents furnishing goods throughout the entire store had been pulled over and scattered on the floor. The bur glar had taken his own time to do the work. He tried on trousers to be sure and get good fit and went out the back door, after supplying himself with underwear. socks, shoes, pants, coat, vest, hat and gloves. Mir. Scrog- gins believes his loss will amount to S25 or $50.
 This is the second time within the last few weeks that Mir. Scroggins has suffered loss at the hands of burglars Not so much was taken the first time and it is not known how the thief made his entrance as all the doors aud windows seemed to be undsturbed.
 It is difficult to deal with a burglar who goes about hls work in a noiseless manner, but when they get bold enough to smash window lights with rock to make an entrance, the simple protection of wide-awake night watchman would tend to stop such work or bring some night prowler to grief.
