Saved Life and Name.

The French author Martainville,
who began his career toward the close
OF the last century, is said to have owed
the preservation of his life to witty
piece Of audacity. He was royalist
and did not hesitate to attack the
French revolution and its authorities
Presently, of course, he was summoned
to appear before the revolutionary tribu.
nal. The revolutionary tribunals at
that time did not hesitate to send every
body to the guillotine who had ventured
to attack them.
Martainville expected to go with the
rest Of the victims. "What, is your
manner" asked the judge. "Martain-
ville," said the young author. "Mar-
tainviller' exclaimed the judge. "You
are deceiving us and trying to hide your
rank. You are an aristocrat, and your
name is De Martainville. Citizen
president, exclaimed the young man,
II am here to be shortened, not to be-
heightened! Leave me my namer" A
true Frenchman loves witticism above
ali things, and the tribunal was SO
pleased by Martainville' grim response
that it spared his life.

Queer Medicines.

The peasant pharmacopeia of France
Is wonderful-most wonderful. Wine
is an ingredient of every prescription.
In fever cases it is always the predomi-
nant one. The French PEASANTS faith
in fermented grape juice is truly beau
tiful. If his children are stricken with
the measles, he gives them beakers of
wine, well sweetened with honey and
highly spiced with pepper. For severe
cold he administers quart Of red wine
and melted tallow candle mixed. For
scarlet or brain fever he gives eggs,
white wine and SCOT well beaten to-
gether. Not all their superstitions are
curious. Some are pathetic. A mother,
for instance, often buries her dead child
with its favorite toy or her own beauti.
ful hair in the coffin, "that it may not
feel quite alone. Paris Correspond.

An Iowan's Opinion

Geo. +. Williams editor of the
Ida Grove Iowa Pioneer in an inter
view at Sioux Falls recently said:
81 have been up and down the coun-
try from the Gulf to the Canadian
line and believe there is no finer ag-
ricultural region anywhere than right
here in the Sioux valley and on up to
Watertown and westward to the
James river. The land is just like the
Iowa soil. 1t is just as rich and lays
as we'll. 1t will never wear out.
But find that the land sells for less
than the land just over the line in
Iowa. The difference as understand
it, is in the matter of freight rates
for the product of these farms. But
there must come change. Either the
price of land over in Iowa must come
down or the price over here will go up.
/ believe the latter will happen. I
see no reason why it should not hap
pen. The price here is now too low.
81 would want nothing finer in the
world than farm along the Big
Sioux river. l have seen some of as
fine farms here as l ever saw any
where. South Dakota is grand
state"

A story concerning our troops at
Manila is told by an English naval
officer, who was an eyewitness of the
occurrence. "The city was quite
crowded." he says, with both Ameri-
can and Spanish soldiers, and they
seemed to be on the friendliest of
terms, AS l was crossing one of the
numerous bridges across the Pasig
river, saw native Filipino spit in
the face of a Spanish officer, and then
run to the American sentinel, who
was guarding the bridge, demanding
his protection. 1t was some time be-
fore the Filipino could make himself
understood, and the sentry took some
time to catch on to what had been
done, but you can imagine my sur
prise when he handed his gun to the
Spanish officer, and caught the native
by the nape Of the neck and the seat
of his trousers and pitched him off the
bridge into the Pasig river. Then he
calmly took his qua from the Spanish
officer and began pacing the beat as
Ii nothing had happened. The Amer
lean soldier may not be SO military as
his brother of Europe, but he is made

The GambIers' Capper.

"Many of the phases of life in the
Tenderloin are kaleidoscope in their
changes" said hotel detective, "but
there is one little group of men in this
precinct that is much the same now that
it was dozen years ago. l mean the
outside men of the gambling houses.
They are we'll known to all sporting
meA, and I could name four or five who
have done little else all their lives. 1t
is their business to know the regular
patrons of faro banks, and if the man
who employs them has been forced to
close up his old place and open a new
one it is their duty to circulate the tip.
"a good outside man spends his time
around hotels and in all night restau-
rants and picks up acquaintances wher-
ever he can. After working up to the
subject of gambling he invites his new
friend to go around to little place that
is run honestly and safely. One Of the
best dressed loungers ON Broadway,
whose face has long been familiar to
paraders on that street, is puller in
for gambling house. He was bar
keeper few years ago and there made
a lot Of acquaintances who are his stock
in trade. He spends money as freely as
a wine agent, and I have no doubt that
he brings many thousands of dollars to
the man who runs the gambling house. !"

Charged S5 For "sass."

A story is told of Fanny Kemble,
whose favorite summer resort was Len
OK, that on her first season there she
employed self respecting villager, who
had comfortable turnout, to drive her
about. He, feeling it to be his duty to
make the drive as entertaining as possi-
BILE, began to call her attention to the
beauty of the scenery-which she
wished to enjoy undisturbed-and to
tell her who lived in certain houses as
they passed along, until finally Mrs.
Kemble, being unable to stand it any
longer, said in the high tragedy manner
somewhat peculiar to her, 81 have en-
gagged you to drive for me, sir, and not
to talk"
The driver ceased talking, pursed up
his lips, and in all their subsequent
drives his only remarks were such as he
found necessary to address to his horses.
At the end of the season he handed in
his bill for the sum1ier services. Run
ming her eye down it's awkward columns,
she paused at an item that she didn't
understand. "What is this sir? can
not comprehend it,"
With equal gravity he replied, "Sass,

She paid the bill without comment
and continued to employ the same driver

where Money Is Very Mixed.

Although all accounts are kept In

in British Guiana, there is no existing
