Once a Noted Liar.

More than dozen years ago an
able and accomplished Canadian liar
named Joseph q. La Joi of LiAssomp-
ton deceived a portion of the public
with a story of how he had reached
the North Pole. He drifted poleward
on an ice foe, and when he got to
the exact spot his rifle flew out of
his hands, and every bit of metal, ex-
cept brass, about nm disappeared as
if by magic, but in reality by magnet
ism. Around the pole were fertile
islands, and on the islands were
thousands of Polar Indians, of peace
full habits, high intelligence and
bucolic pursuits. La Joi remained
with them so long that he forgot his
own language. He obtained great in
f1uence over them, so much, indeed,
that he did not hesitate to call him.

lions, and each knew of what the 9TH
er was thinking.
Marie NOW almost breathlessly hur-
ried her story:
$50 the poor girl came back over the
plains and over the hills to her little
cottage home. But she was never the
same again. She laughed when others
laughed, and she was gay, and she
danced, and everybody said that she
had good times in the world. But you,
10 you think she had? Because, when
she thought of the city now it was no
longer of gold, and when she thought
of the river it was black and wicked,
and when she remembered the man
she saw the great rulers of his king
dom frowning at her and the hand of
her prince raised as if it said, NO,
never, neverp"
When she finished, there was silence
for a moment, so deep that only the
breathing Of her audience was heard.
They could not read the thing. They
took her story literally, and it did not
seem so strange to them, for they were
a simple people. But they were roman
tic, too, having in their veins-nor did
they know this-the feeling of an an
tique time. So they applauded hearth
ly, grandly. They called "Bravor and
said there was no one in the parish,
not in ten parishes, who could tell a
fine true love story like Marie. And
Alphonse looked at her with his hun
CRY eyes as though to say that were he
that prince he would have followed
her from that city and have lost his
kingdom and his soul for her.
The dance Of the Little Wolf had
been a success, and now Medallion
hustled in and out among them, break
ing them up into groups, while they
kept calling for another dance. AS he
passed Marie he whispered to her:
well done, ma'm'selle, well done. But
you must find another prince, toute

plausible was the fellows story that
in 1890 he induced reputable bust
ness men to invest capital in the La
Joi Manufacturing company of Port
land, Me-, organized to manufacture
certain wonderful medicines, the Sc
crets of which he had brought from
the polar regions.
Presently La Joi dropped out of
sight so far as the large public was
concerned. He energies temporarily
from obscurity as a prisoner, having
been arrested for perjury in connec-
ton with the affairs of his company.

failed to do SO. He was struck by the front
wheel and knocked down. the rear wheel
passing over his shoulder. The witness,
Webster assisted In caring for the injured
man until the ambulance reached the scene

FEAST OF UNLEAvENED BREAD
Jewish Passover Week Begins With
Appropriate Services.

The week designated as the Jewish Pass
over begins today and those who adhere to
the doctrines and customs of the orthodox
Hebrew will eat no leavened bread during
the week. Some articles of food, which
at other times of the year are considered
necessary, will also be abstained from in
commemoration of the passover.
The only observance Of this occasion
among the reformed Jews, with some ex-
ceptions, is the holding of special religious
services in their synagogues on the first
and last days of the week. They usually
have the unleavened bread on the table
at meal time, but more as a reminder of
the ancient custom than as a part of the
meal.
The orthodox Hebrews have made great
preparations for the celebration. Their
houses are thoroughly cleaned at this time
and all the kitchen utensils used during
the rest of the year are put away. and in
their place the PaSch kitchen-ware does
service.
The table on the first evening of the
feast Is set as deliberately as is consistent
with the householder's purse. When the
family has assembled about the table the
head of the house reads the story of the
passover and explains the origin of the
ceremony by responses and songs. A va
cant chair Is always placed at the table
during this ceremony to typify hospitality
The unleavened bread which resembles
large crackers, is made entirely from flour
and water, and a large amount of this
bread, called matZoth, Is consumed every
year during the passover season.

offer made some time ago to sell to the
District a triangular projection into 22d

and a similar projection into Cincinnati
street at it's junction with the Queens
Chapel road, Langdon. Mr.. Muncaster asks

the owner be offered IL cents square foot
for them. Capt. H. C. Newcomer, in for
warding the papers calls attention to the
reports made when former communion
