charged to her account brass ket-

man made mistake and took it to

there, neighbor and acquaintance
Of our customer, received the pack

it, but simply refuses to give the

why she should right it. OF course
we had to right it with our Gus

"Another woman, also an old GUS

sent to her house on Saturday. The
Monday following our man went up
to see about the hanging of them,
and she told him she had decided
not to take them. When the hang
ings were returned to us they show
ed unmistakable signs of having
been used and even slightly injured.
The papers described that woman as
having given big entertainment on
that particular Sunday, and the de-
duction is easy to make.

returned the next. When examined,
it was found to have been worn, and

A Story of Joan Bart, an Old Timo
French Naval Officer.

A Story of Joan Bart, an Old Timo
French Naval Officer.
Jean Bart, a French naval COM
mander of the last part of the sew
enteenth century, was at one time
ordered to convey the Prince de
Cont, candidate for the throne of
Poland, to Dantzic, voyage fraught
with danger, as his vessel must pass
through tie waters where were
cruising the hostile fleets of the
English and Dutch. During the
passage the little squadron was
chased by the enemy, and Bart, as
soon as they were reported, called
his little son to him and gave him
whispered instructions. The pursuit
continued for eight hours, and at
the end of that time the enemy was
no longer in sight. Then BaYt went
down into the cabin, where the
prince had been sitting in ignorance
of the days excitement.
you've had narrow escape,
monseigneur," said he.
"Whnt do you meanp" asked the
prince.
why" answered Bart, "that
we've been chased by three eight
gun ships and nine frigates. We've
run them out of sight, and there's
nothing to fear.'
'But, NJ. Bart, if they had taken
us?''
"Oh, monseigneur, that was quite
impossible"
"Eh! What? Why, impossible p
Because" answered Bart, "I had
stationed my brave son, my Cornil,
in the gunroom with lighted
match and strict orders to put it
into the powder if we should be
overpowered."
"What!" cried the prince. "You
would never have done such q
thing?"
Certainly I would have done it,"
said Bart. cit shall never be said
that / allowed you to be taken when
the king ordered me to take care
that you were not"
Perhaps the prince himself might
have preferred prosaic surrender to
the doubtful glory of being blown
up. 80

The majority of planters in the
area subject to overflow are we'll pre-

there are some optimistic ones who
think that each food is the last and
make no preparations for it's return.
1t is necessary for them to use the
levee as place Of refuge for their
stock, where they are cared for under
many difficulties.
When it has reached its height, the
devastating food begins slowly to re-
cede, leaving shiny marks high on
trees and houses. It's fell is as slow
as it's rise is rapid. Slowly the land
appears, and finally the waters drain
into their channel.

No matter what the y have to leave

SMOKING IN HOLLAND.
The Dutch Are tho Greatest users Of
Tobacco In Europe.

lo5aoco IN Europe.
The Hollanders are perhaps of
all the northern peoples those who
smoke the most. The humidity of
their climate makes it almost a ne
cessity, and the very moderate cost
of tobacco renders it accessible to
all.
TO show how deeply rooted is the
habit it is enough to say that the
boatmcn of the trekschuit, the
aquatic diligence Of Holland, meas
IRE distance by smoke. From here,
they say, to such and such place it
is not SO many miles, but SO many
pipes.
When you enter a house after the
first salutations your host offers you
cigar. When you take your leave
he hands you another and often in
sists upon filling your cigar case.
In the streets you see persons

1t really does appear that smok-
