MADEMOISELLE
MISCHIEF
By LIEUT.. MURRAY

M ANY years ago, In cottage near
W Paris, there lived widower with
four children. The locality was in a
beautifully wooded district, since swal-
lowed up in the grand improvements of
the Bots de Boulogne. The occupant of
the cottage was an artist, and a very
humble one in point Of ability. who
struggled industriously to obtain food
for those four young mouths, like pa
rent bird presiding over nest Of fledg-
lings.
The oldest of these children was sent
to school at the time we refer to, proving
an exceedingly intelligent pupil, but
with such an irresistible propensity for
mischief of all sorts that she absolutely
came to be called Mademoiselle Mis-
chief
She was a good-hearted child, but yet
perfect little imp. whose roguery got
her constantly into difficulty.
One very reprehensible trick of the
young girl was the propensity, which
seemed perfectly natural to her, for
drawing caricatures of the schoolmis-
tress and others, especially Of all her
young companions, which, being done
with admirable likenesses, possessed
just enough merit to make the satire
very keen and sometimes bitterly felt.
Miss Mischief was also wonderfully
expert with the scissors, cutting out pic
lures from black paper, and was also
very skillful in carving wood with her
penknife. Another trick to which she
was addicted was that of producing
from bread crumbs absurd likenesses of
her teacher and such professors as Wis
tied the school where she belonged
The roguish little creature gave her
schoolmistress an infinite amount of
trouble, and there is no use in Disgusting
the fact that she was almost daily laid
across the mistress lap and soundly
punished. Still it was impossible to
break her exuberant spirit, and she went
on with her caricatures, mingled with
pictures of animals and trees.
At last II seemed as though the good
schoolmistress was in despair. She

Gossiping about King Edwards deer

wild outlaw, Even Macphee. When
quite a youth Even had Joined the

to meet his ambitious ideas Even one
day coolly left the ranks and deserted

his whereabouts became known a file

precipice he got clear away and burst

After time he built hut upon the
island in Loeb Quolch, opposite the
lodge, but finding his life rather lone

equal to the occasion; she got hold Of

Judge Sanders, of the Paducah
police Court, has given an opinion
holding the cow law void in Padu-
cah- The opinion, when discussing
the ordinance, declares that it is in
valid because it embraces more than
one subject, not mentioned in the
caption; because it requires an often
der to show cause why he shall not
be fined, thus presuming his guilt
instead of allowing him the right of
the presumption of innocence; be-
cause it refers civil proceedings to a
court of exclusive criminal jurisdic-
ton; because it grants no right of
appeal; because a fine under it's pro-
visions would be depriving citizen
of his property without due process
Of law. Other legal questions are
discussed. An appeal will be taken
by the city, which is represented by
Chas. X. Wheeler.

to their demands.
Eleven o'clock tonight was deter
mined upon as the hour when Mr.. He'd
Iey's reply was expected to be sent to
the different labor halls in Harlem
where the men were holding their meet
ings.
The reply was sent at the expected
hour. 1t was a fiat refusal on the part
Of the company to grant any of the de-
mands made by the men. Directly fol-
lowing the receipt of Mr.. Hedley's let
ter, President George E. Pepper, of the
Amalgamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees, formally
declared the strike.
While the strikers were preparing to
call off all of their members from trains
on the elevated and in the subway the
work of breaking in" raw recruits was
begun by the company's specially hired
men from the Union Swith and Signal
company.
Strike breakers poured into the city
from all sides, arriving on trains from
the east and the south at intervals dur
| ing the night. Men were hired at vari-
Gus agencies throughout the city and
hurried to the terminals Of the roads,
prepared to go to work on short notice
At midnight the company's officials
were prepared, they said, to operate
trains without the union men, and with
assurances that the passengers would
be safeguarded.
