Frssfdent of h French Republic Re-
sisted Attempts to Send Hina to
school When a Boy.

In the days of his youth President
Emile Loubet, of the republic of France.
was OF a somewhat strenuous type. He
was then living with his parents at
Marsanne, and he was so fond of his
rambling out-of-door life that he used
to declare that nothing would ever in
duce him to go to a college. His par
ents, however, had their own ideas as to
hat was good for him. So his father
a arrangements whea Emile was
about nine years Of age that he should
go to the college Of Crest. The day
OF entry to the school came, but no
Emile could be found. At last, toward
evening, the poor little chap was found
hiding in a neigt' bring wood. His
prayers and his applications to be left
his freedom were of no use. His ia
Their was obdurate. To the school at
Crest Emile should go. Then Emile
tried resistance. Useless! The grown
ups were stronger than he. Still the
struggle much have been a heightened
one, and Emile may almost be declared
victor. for it was only by binding his
feet n hands that he could be brought
to the carriage that was in waiting. And
thus, tied hand and foot. wal the future
president of France delivered over like
a parcel to the director of the school of
Crest. M. Loubet has never ceased to
have the tastes Of a man of the open
air and the fields. He has recently
bought a small estate near his native
place, and his mother remains a true
peasant proprietor.

60 Miles West of kalIspclI.
Kalispell, Mont, March 22.-The
west bound passenger, No. l., on the
Great Northern was wrecked at Fisher
river about z O'Clock in the morning,
and the whole train, except the engine
and baggage car, left the track. The
baggage car was thrown across the
track and badly smashed, while the day
coach turned completely over and
landed upside down. The other coaches
were badly wrecked and thrown upon
their sides at the side of the track.
An authentic report of the accident
is hard to get, and particulars are
not yet known here. The accident
happened 60 miles west of Kalispell,
and the wreck train, with coach at
tached, has left for the scene, with the
doctor and claim agent. Several people
are hurt, but it is not known how
badly. None are reported killed.
All trains are delayed. The wreck
ed was caused by a spreading rail, af-
ter the enigne had passed over safely.
All the cars in the wreck We're dragged
for quite distance before the train
came to stand still, and the passen-
gers who were in them had bad shak-
ing up. How they escaped being killed
will never be known. The train was
one of the heaviest loaded passengers
that had been over the road for some
time.

Fed by Machinery.

An American farmer owns a small
tract Of land which he has stocked
with few dozen chickens. AS he is
compelled to be away from his home
during the day he studied out a
scheme for caring for his chickens
during his absence. In each pen he
has erected troughs to hold food for
the hens, and these troughs are con-
nected by wire with his house. With
in the house he has connected the
wire with an alarm clock. When he
leaves home in the morning he sets
the alarm clock at the hour for feed
ing the chickens, and by an ingenious
arrangement when the time arrives
the alarm goes off, the connecting
wire releases the troughs, and the
chickens make rush for their food,
which Is spread before them as il
their owner did the work in person.

A man up town whose business
takes him much from home, but whose
business communications come to the
house, has made an odd combination
of the telephone and photograph. His
wife speaks little or no English, but
can manage to answer the phone calls

to leave a message, thrusts the re.

of having a small boy who speaks
English in attendance at the house.
