Merely a Blunder.

All Paris is worried over frauds in
the production of French wines. The
matter has become so serious to the
Frenchmen that il has been taken
up in the chamber of deputies,
where bitter outbursts against adult
terated wine were made but a few
days ago.
And vet il seems as though all
this excitement We're unnecessary.
The cause Of the righteous indigna-
zion is plain, and the remedy is
equally apparent. Trouble is. some
of the careless manufacturers have
accidentally put on the French
market quantities of their wines
which were intended solely for ex-
portation. Throughout Paris the
walters at hotels and cafes behold
patrons gestioulating wildly after
they have taken the first sip of their
wine. Then these same walters has
ten To the guests and patrons and
eXclaim:
Twelve million pardons, mon
sieur, but we accidentally secured a
quantity of wine intended solely for
the American market"
Thus does an honest and truth
ful excuse appease, and as soon as
may be the manufacturers of wine
viii resume their expectation of
the inferior brands, saving their
best for home consumption. Then
all viii be harmony again in Paris.

was made up by the various chiefs and
sent 10 aim 10 sign. But he refused,
saying he intended shaking hands with
each one Of the forty men and women
whose names appeared on the list. They
were all summoned 10 his Office. out
OF the forty men and women" said
Mr.. Treat, 4 found only three who
were not giving the Government fun

only thing that made me feel sad about
the affair was that those dear old
ladies thought they were coming up Tor
a promotion and / could not give IL 10
them"

tell those men on the Hin" what the
superannuated clerks are doing. He
said the Congressman who talked about
the superannuated clerk was dependent
upon those same clerks for statistics on
which to build speeches.
