GOOD FRIDAY IN PARIS.
When Meat is Difficult to Get In the
French Capital.

When Meat Is Difficult to Get In the
French Capital.
The son of a French friend of mine,
boy nine years of age, when asked
by his tutor how Good Friday (Holy
Friday the French call it) differed
from other days, distinguished him
self by the epigrammatic answer, "On
Good Friday there is less butchers
meat in Paris and many more En-
glishmen." The boy described the diff
ference exactly from n Paris point of
view. To-day is the one day In all the
S65 on which the Paris butcher closes
his shop and takes a holiday, and
meat is extremely difficult to get in
Paris, except in restaurants. where
of course, a small supply has been
laid in for customers who are not
Roman Catholics, or who do not prac-
tice abstinence from meat, even upon
this one day. In Paris, where ex-
tremes of opinion of all kinds have
always met. the freethinker appears
in his most self-assertive form to-day.
There are a number OF free-thinking
clubs in Paris. all of which meet in
great solemnity this evening, to "pro-
test against the tenets of all
churches" to eat sausages, ham, pork,
and every form Of pigs flesh they can
think of. and to drink at intervals
toasts to "the downfall of religion. ="

freethinkers are very harmless.-Paris

Failure of Justice


The disbanding OF the Deep Gulch
Vigilant Committee. after short
and inglorious career. was due partly
to general circumstances, but more
particularly to the treachery and lack
of civic pride In the institutions of
the camp displayed by Ike Stanton.
whom the committee had marked Cor
its first victim.
Even bosore the day when Ike
broke loose" there had been a
growing feeling that the camp was
too strenuous in its mode of life and
that frequent and unprovoked gum
plays were driving away all would
be investors. Ike's behavior strength
ened this feeling. He had been too
free in the use of his revolver even
for Deep Gulch Camp. where the eti-
quette on this subject could scracely
be called right. His performance on
the day in question had eliminated
in forcing a staid Eastern tourist,
who had strayed into tho camp by
some mischance, to dance cancan
on top of the bar. while Ike, by
numerous and well-aimed shots. tried
to cut OFF the rim Of the silk hat
which had excited his ire. Ordi-
narily. the camp would have looked
on this proceedings as simple and
harmless Jest. But after the tourist
had shaken the dust of the camp
from his feet 1t developed that he
had visited the camp with the in.
tention of buying a mine Then the
wrath of the camp bubbled over.
"Is that the way to treat a man
looking to sink good money in our
played-out mines?" inquired Amos
Peterkin earnestly of group of in.
dignant citizens. Can we expect
the moneyed men of this great Amer
lean nation to hurry toward Deep
Guich Mining Camp when the only
inducements offered are to have the
tops of their silk hats shot off, and
to be told that If they don't dance
quicker they will lose the tips OF
their ears? Is that the way to ap-
peal to the bankers of the rich and
effete East?'
The sentiment of the impromptu
meeting seemed to be that any ap-
peal to wealthy investors which was
meant to be effective must be put in
a different form. Ike Stanton had
struck a blow at the prosperity of the
camp
And Ike being a citizen of the
camp will be good man for the Wig
ilants to practice on" added Amos
Peterkin. 'If things don't go smooth
ly it won't be as bad as If we were
beginning with a stranger. If Ike's
got any proper pride in the camp,
blamed IL he oughtn't to be proud OF
the opportunity. 1t will give the
vigilants chance to get sort of let
ter perfect, as that actor chap used
to say"
But Ike Stanton evidently was
lacking in proper pride in the camp
and its institutions. The situation
didn't seem to appeal to him in the
least. a.
Want me for a blamed amateur
vigilance committee to practice ON"
he fairly roared. bristling with right
eous wrath. Going to use one of

dents of the camp when they had an

camp. Ike urged his horse to greater
speed. So did the vigilants Then
chance shot from a rife brought
down his horse. Ike knew the game
was up and philosophically seated
himself by the roadside to await the
arrival of the committee. He real
lied that further efforts to escape
would only mean a shower of we'll
aimed bullets.
When the vigilants reached him
the list of his offenses, beginning
with the time he held up n crowd in
a gambling house and ending with
the misplaced gayety which had
driven an investor with money from
the camp, was recited. The unanimous
sentiment of the committee was that
hanging was the only thing which
would square Ike Stanton's account
with the outraged properties of Deep
Grlch Camp. ISe's arms were bound
and he was led to a nearby tree.
There a rope was prepared. Up to
this time Ike had watched proceed
ings with languid contempt. Now his
scorn bubbled over.
Il don't mind the boys stringing
me up" he said in deep disdain and
looking straight at Amos Peterlsin.

called "derned Eastern tenderfoot

jar the sensibilities of the best-na-
tured leader of vigilance commit
tee. Amos drew his revolver.
Very brave about drawing gun
on a man whose hands are tied,"
sneered Ike. again repeating his re
marks apropos of tenderfoot mud tur-
ties. But if these ropes were of and
you stood up in front of me I'd change
your ugly face. SO that even the mud
turtles would be ashamed of you"
Amos promptly slgnified his will
ingness to accept this challenge Ike
was united. But he still was unsatis-
fed.
IF this thing is going to be done
at ALL" he said earnestly. for the
reputation Of the camp want 1t done
right. It's the first prizefight and the
first-lynching. With me any little
breaks don't matter But you want
the details right so that II you try 1t
on a stranger you won't make

Under the direction OF Ike the ar
rangemen.s demanded by strict eti-
quette were made. A ring was cleared,
seconds chosen. a timekeeper select

committee beamed with approval of
Ike's proper spirit as they worked.
Here was man whom II was a pleas
ure and honor to hang, a man who
had the credit of the camp at heart
and would spare no pains TO make the
affair success. There was no thought
of treachery.
