eUIwInSs Tnt PRussIAss.



The little village OF Josncs IN stu
ated on the route covered by the
Prussians In the Franco. PrussIan war
OF 1871. Tho peasants OF the neigh.
borhood never weary Of relating their
experiences with the soldiers from
over the border.
The Prussian soldiers had q little
way OF carrying OF with them any
good horses they came across. Mon
sleur Lemaire owned the finest horse
in the village. and was determined
not 10 give the animal up IL he could
help IL. A company Of soldiers passed
tarough the town. picking up several
horses as they went. much to tho
chagrin OF their owners. After the
raid was over the neighbors were sur.
priscd 70 learn that Monsieur Le-
MARES horse had not been among
those seized. The quick wittcd
Frenchman had tied a piece Of Irvine
about the horses hind les. almost
stopping the fow OF blood. The leg
swelied. and the animal became so
lame that the officers who saw him
in the pasture did not even make an
attempt 20 take him. After the pass
ing OF the soldicry. the string was re-
moved and the member carefully ban.
daged. In a week the horse was as
well as ever.
At various times the peasants were
compelled 10 quarter the soldiers. Not
only were they forced 10 supply food
and lodging. but anything OF value In
the house was pretty likely 10 be
seized by the unwelcome visitors. The
pride OF one little home was n clock
that had been owned by tho family
for nearly a century. When IL was
learned that the soldiers were coming.
at the suggestion of the mater famillas
the clock was taken 10 pieces and the
parts hidden In different places about
the house.
The soldieds arrived. After they
had been there a couple OF days the
peasant returned from his work at
night TO ind the clock standing on the
shelf, ticking away as usual One OF
the Prusslans. being OF a mechanical
turn. had discovered the ruse. lie had
accordingly hunted up all the pieces
Of the clock and put them together.
The soldiers were ordered elsewhere n
day or two later. but the clock was
left behind.
All through that section OF the coun-
try, known as the 'granary OF
France" there are windmIlis. Unlike
the mills OF Holland. or the very mod
ern windmills OF our own farms.
which turn as the wind shifts, the
huge fans Of the French mills are
turned about by a hand-levcr.
During the war these mills did
good service In indicating to the
French officers the whereabouts OF the
Prussian army. The fans OF the mills
were so arranged that they faced the
spot where the forces OF the enemy
were the thIckest. the mills thus serv-
ing ms signals that could be seen n
long distance away. The Prussians
never learned the trick. which was
employed all through the war.
