In the Cathedral of Nantes, France.
there is a monument to Francis II. Of
Bretagne and his wife Margaret which
is considered one of the masterpieces Of
French sculpture. 1t Is over 800 years
old. and until twenty odd years ago no
one knew to whom to ascribe it. Then
by chance an old stone slab was discov-
cred in the same cathedral bearing the
following inscription:
81, Michel ColoEb, was a poor for
saken boy whose only home was the
high road, where alone God and our
Bretagne saints watched over me. Of
ten forgot to eat and drink while look
ing at the stonecutters who made the
beautiful stone crosses for the holy
place in the diocese of Leon, and my
self carved small images with a wretch
ed knife, when worthy priests took
compassion upon me. fed me and said
to me: Work, thou little one, and look
as much as thou pleasest at the carved
belfry and at the beautiful work Of the
guild (sculptors). Look at all this, love
the good God. the mild Saviour and the
blessed Virgin Mary. Then thy name
shall be honored in the diocese of Leon
and in the beautiful Bretagne. This I
did for long while that l might be-
come a good workman, and then our
Duchess Anna gave me an order to cut
monument to our gracious Duke
Francis II and the Duchess Margaret.

KALAMAZOO.

Have you heard tho pretty legend, sad and
mournful and get true,
OF the brave and dusky lover and the Indian
maid Mahzooa
How they lived and loved md wandered on
the rivers shady shore,
Happiest OF Indian lovers in tho days that arc
no moref
All day long the maiden labored, weaving
baskets by the stream,
Thinking Of her love- her Kahla, weaving him
into her dream;
Then he comes she hears the rowing Of his
light birch bark canoe
"Kahlal" calls che Cries he, "Coming, com
ing to my own Mahzool"
All, one night she waits In silencei Sad her
face-her love IL deadi
Wounded In the chase, her warrior in fort
night to be wed.
In the morn they find sweet Mahzoo lying
. silent In the stream,
Zone unto her lover Kahla. nevermore to
watch and dream.
Still the echoes DER the river may be heard
soft through the air
Echoes of the warrior Kahla and OF young
Mahzoo the fair.
All the trees repeat the whisper, all the rip
pies murmur too,
In the stream that bears their name now
bears the name kalamazoo.

Smoking Vampires.

Henry Adams of Wichita. Kan. tells
this story of the favorite amusement Of
Americans at the clubs in the City Of
Mexico:
Frequently in the evenings the van.
pires. or blood sucking bats. fly into
the open windows Of the clubrooms.
The Americans then close the doors and
catch the Eat by throwing a shawl over
it. One of the men lights cigarette,
opens the bats mouth and inserts the
cigarette therein. The creature is then
turned loose. Its soft mouth contract
ing closely. the cigarette is immediate
ly seized firmly.
Every time the bat breathes it draws
in the smoke and then exhales it.
Thus. flying around the room, smoking
the cigarette wildly and putting out
clouds Of smoke, it presents a strange
appearance The smoke generally kills
the lat before the cigarette is all
smoked up
