Mime. Heriot's Generosity.

Nine Heriot widow of the ex-mil
tary officer who was one of the pro-
prietors and controllers of the "Grands
Magasins du Louvre" and whose death
was recorded recently, has, in remem-
brance Of her husband, given a sum
of 100000 for the foundation of a pen
sion fund in the great drapery estab-
lishment of the Rue de Rivoli. This
donation and the fund are for the ben
eft of the women employed in the en-
porium not receiving over f200 annu-
ally, by way of salary, and who may
be incapacitated from work by age or
illness. The generous giver is evidently
mindful of the days when she herself
was only a worker in the Louvre, and
attracted the attention and admira-
tion of Commandant Heriot, who mar
ried her.-London Telegraph.

build the structure. but a real estate

to the Government for i've years, and
take his chances on using it for con-

he has returned as he left, smiling,
looking perfectly happy, CHEEKY, on the

warmly welcomed by his many friends
who had the pleasure of meeting him
since his return. 1t is beyond a doubt
that he will be greeted in the same
hearty manner by those whom he made

with compositions by Chopin and the

him the praise that they were unable
to bestow upon those who were less fer
