golden flask from her pocket.
How much did the Arab say to put IN
the water" she wondered, pausing in per-
picked thought. II declare. I've actually
forgotten, But he said il WIS sure to cure
me- so | may as well use all the flask con-
tains. For, after l am cured, l shall not
need any more of it."
Reasoning thus, Madame removed the
stopper and poured into the bowl every
drop of that precious Elixir which Ali Dubh
had priced more than life itself, ana which
his wild countrymen had come all the way
from Arabia to America to possess. For
generation after generation the priceless
liquor had been preserved with Jealous care.
and now the BAKERS wife was rubbing ii
upon her limbs in an endeavor TO cure the
pangs of rheumatism,
She used very little of the contents or the
bowl, after all. The touch of the Elixir
upon her skin. although it was diluted with
so much water, sent a glow of eXhilara-
ton throughout all her stout body.
The pains were suddenly eased, and mad
anne began to feel as light and airy a
fairy in spite of her great mass Of flesh.
1t occurred to her that she would like to
dance; to run and shout, to caper about
as she used to do as girl. But soon her
shrewd common sense returned, and she
told herself this was hut the effect Of the
wonderful medicine, and that the wisest
thing she could do was to go to bed and
sleep suundly while she might.
Being still somewhat bewildered, the
good woman picked up the lamp, and. leaV-
ing the bowl containing the Elixir standing
upon the table mounted the stairs with
lighter steps than she had known in years.
Five minutes later she was in bed, snor-
ing as loudly as Monsieur Jules himself.

THE GREAT ELIXIR.

tism troubled her more or less: but no one
minded If madame was a bit slow in tying
up her parcels For surely no cakes or
buns in all the town were so delicious or
fresh as those she sold. and she had a way
OF giving the biggest cakes to the smallest
boys and girls who came into her shop
that proved she was fond of children and
had a generous heart.
People loved to come to the Grogande
bakery. When one opsnsd the door an eX-
quisite fragrance ofhe&fy baked bread and
cakes greeted the nostrils; and, If you
were not hungry when you entered you
were sure to become soSwhen- you exam
ined and smelled the delicious pies and
doughnuts and Gingerbread and buns with
which the shelves and show cases were
stocked. There were trays of French can
dies, too. and because all the goods were
fresh and wholesome the bakery was we'll
patronized and did thriving business.
The reason no one saw Monsieur jules
in the shop was because his time was al
ways occupied in the bakery in the rear-a
long, low room filled with ovens and tables
covered with pots and pans and dishes
(Which the skilful baker used for mixing
and stirring) and long shelves bearing
sugars and spices and baking powders and
understanding extracts that made his
wares taste so sweet and agreeable.
The bake-room was three times as big
as the shop, but Monsieur Jules needed all
the space in the preparation OF the great

bothered madame especially in waiting upon
her customers.
Now, however when she came back into
her room and gazed at the two TASKS upon
her table, she had no idea which one was
of gold and which of silver. for the weak
ness Of her eyes prevented her from telling
them apart by means of their color.
Let me see," she murmured; this must
be the flask which the Arao first drew from
his pocket. No-I think this was the one. "
But the more she hesitated the more con-
fused she became and in the end she told
herself honestly that she had not the faint
est ciue to guide her in knowing which
flask contained the Essence of Vitality and
which the cure for rheumatism.
And the pains were now so bad that she
was anxious to cure them without a mo-
ment's delay.
The engraving on the two TASKS was
nearly the same; and if some of those queer
foreign characters really differed, madame
did not know it. Also in size aud shape the
TASKS were exactly alike. Truly madame
was in fine quandary, and there seemed
no way of getting out OF it with safety.
She had almost decided to hide both
TASKS until the Arab returned, when several
sharp tWinges of pain caught her and made
her long most earnestly for relief. If she
went to bed now she would be sure to suf-
fer all night, and in one of the TASKS was
sure cure. go
'.Ill guess at it, and take the chancest

ing at haphazard, she hid the silver flask

waved them back with the words: Don t
wake him; he might go away"
Even when the minister was at Carlsbad
taking the waters he did not forget his
circular He sent cipher telegram to the
ministry one day ordering the presence
sheets to be passed around. Not a func
tionary was absent. Days off for burying
fants have become regretted memories of
the past.
NJ. Clemenceau's reforming zeal has ex
tended even to the prisons. His first visit
was not encouraging. The porter of st.
Lazare prison, in the Rue du Faubourg st.
Denis, opened the gate one morning to a
little old gentleman. The following dia-
logue took placer

The porter stood aghast. Finally he stam-
out, Monsieur lie Ministre.''
We'll, then, call the chief warder.'
Again came the stammering reply that
the chief warder was out also.
The same was the case with the sister SUI
perior, and finally NJ. Clemenceau inter-
viewed the clerk. For weeks the governor,
chief warder and sister superior hardly
ventured outside the prison gates for fear

municipal office four incorrigible card play
ers have the audacity to post up a no.
tice Private" on the door of one of the
rooms, in order that they may remain un-
disturbed Life under such conditions Is
evidently tolerable Indeed. there is on
record the case of functionary who came
into a comfortable fortune at the death of
relative and forthwith asked and OBJ
tanned leave of absence sine die. A year
afterward, one fine morning, he turned up
at his office. His astonished colleagues
asked him the reason for his return. WELL
you know, l was bored to death. did not
know how to fill up my time. The fact is.
this is the only place where you can enjoy
yourself" And he stayed.
No wonder, then, that M. Clemenceaus
circular spread CONSERVATION among the
staff of the ministry of the interior. Loud
protestations were raised against the ar
bitrary methods of this republican" min
lister who, as the opposition papers gloat-
ingly pointed out. was preventing the
braves fonctionnaires'' from earning their
daily bread. But M. Clemenceau held
firm when l am at my Office" he said,
lit is not too much to require the minis
terial staff to be at their posts. Seven
hours work is not excessive at a time
when the eight-hour day is demanded. The
gentlemen who reported absent from
duty will take the consequences"
The utmost that the minister could be in
duced to concede was that the afternoon
hours should be from to 6inStead of from
to Z.
In order to insure that the new regulation
was being complied with presence sheets
were handed round from time to time, each
