TURNED THE JOKE. .s4:
The Way Bridegroom Got the Laugh
on His Funny" Chum.

Under the thin disguise of harmless
fun many. an objectionable rude prank
Is played upon newly married couples.
IL Is refreshing to hear OF an OCCASION
nj Instance in which the Joke" reacts
on the joker. ~ young man and his
bride, who had just been married In n
western town, were starting on their
wedding journey. They had managed
to reach the train in safety despite the
showers of rice and old shoes.
just as they had taken their seats in
the car one of the bridegroom's chums
came hastily in to bid him goodby. AS
the young husband extended his hand
the friend snapped handcuCf round
his wrist.
The groom had been suspecting n
trick of some kind, and before the
practical joker could play n similar
trick on the bride he found the other
handcuT snapped round his own wrist.
He was chained to the happy bride
groom himself
"Thats II good one on me, Harry"
he said, with Il sickly kind of smile,
but I'll have to ask you to come to the
door with me and get the key to these
things from the fellow outside that's
got it. Hold on. conductor, just min

FRENCH SENTIMENT.
The Way 1t Classics the Greatest
Men of the Nation.

The Way 1t classifies the Greatest
Men of the Nation.
The Petit Parislen in 1906 conducted
very interesting plebiscite, the object
of which was to ascertain who, i'm the
opinion of It's readers, were the ten
greatest Frenchmen of the nineteenth
century. More than 100000 votes
were given, and the result was that
Pasteur came out at the top of the poll
with l,;;SS,425 votes. The next were
Victor Hugo, who received 1,227. 1O3
votes: Gambetta 1.155.GT2, Napoleon
l,11S,03i. Theirs 1,030453. I.azare Car
not 95o,TT2, .Curic S5l,1O a. Dumas
pere S50,G02, DR.. Roux GO3,041 and
Parmcnticr i0S,S63. Immediately fol-
lowing were Ampere, the electrician;
BrazZa, the explorer; lola, Lamartinc
and Arago.
1t will be observed with interest how
large is the proportion of scientific
men in the number of those who In
the opinion of Frcnchmen, occupy the
highest places in the records of the
country. Napoleon Is only fourth.
though Pasteur heads the list, and
Curic, RouN and Parmentler, the chem.
list who introduced the culture Of the
potato into France, are also honored,
while Ampere and Brazza are not far
behind. Literary men and statesmen
dispute with the scientists for the
highest distinctions, and the national
sentiment of France is evidently &c.
lectic.
