Politenes. saved His Life.

In the public square of Vendoms
I stopped at little shop to have a
punctured tire repaired.
Have you seen our new statue ?"
said the man; 'yonder in the square
its a fine thing-Rochambeau."
The American who travels in
France takes his country with him.
There is hardly canton without it's
American souvenir-or countess.
This statue to the glory of the man
of Yorktown was presented to his
birthplace by Americans and I'M
yelled by the American ambassador.
! don't remember. very much Of
Rochambeau's career. Yorktown is
enough.
But the little man Of ,Vendome, az
he pumped up my wheel, told me an
anecdote which proves that polite
ness, like honesty, is the best policy.
During the reign of terror the con-
vention had condemned the old hero
to death
With a crowd of unfortunates 10
was ordered into me wagon that was
to take them TO the guillotine.
Cautiously the old man stepped
aside that Malesherbes and his COM
panions in death might get in first.
The wagon was full before his turn
came.
''Take him back said the heads
man; che can go with tomorrow's
batch"
But when tomorrow came Robes
pierre had fallen and the reign Of
the guillotine was over 1t was a
lesson in politeness, and when the
little shopman and L parted we took
off our hats to each other. One
never knows what may happen in
this land Of revolutions.

A Burglary.

On Tuesday morning, at about one
o'clock, bold effort was made to burgla'
rze the safe of MIR. Jim Ed Peery, in his
store two miles west of town. Mrs. Peery
had been quite sick during the night and
had been unable to sleep. She heard an
unusual noise in the direction of the store,
and called the attention of Mr.. Peery TO
it. He got up and went to a window, and
called out in the direction of the store to
know what was the matter. When he
made the call he saw or heard several
persons run out and from the store. He
and John Hutton vent to the store i'm
mediately and found that the front door
had been priced open with a N. & W.
tamping pick, which the burglars had
left behind in their fight. They had
tried with this pick to break open On iron
safe, which contained considerable sum
of money and number of valuable pa
pers. The dial of the safe had been brok'
en- off by blows, and between the dial
and knob hole had been made in the
tafe. The thieves were either very inex-
pert or badly provided with tools for
their work. They had broken the cash
drawer loose from the counter and Mr..
Peery found the drawer on the counter,
rifled of ils contents, about three dollars
in change. So far no clue has been OBJ
tanned to the robbers.
