A PLOT THAT FAILED.
The Scheme to Blow Up Napoleon 10.
With Gunpowder.

The Scheme to Blow Up Napoleon 40.
With Gunpowder.
! An interesting story is that of frus-
trated plot against Napoleon III. which
has never got into the history book,
but which is one Of the favorite stories
of NJ. victorien Sardou.
In 1000, when the frontage Of the
Theatre Francois was rebuilt after the
disastrous fire in which one of the
most charming actresses Of the Maison
de Moliere lost her life, several shops
disappeared, among them being that of
the famous Restaurant Chevet. 1t was
not properly speaking a restaurant.
Chevet used to sell liqueurs, groceries,
smoked meats, ETC., and In a couple Of
low ceilinged rooms on the first floor
he would serve a meal or two to con-
noisseurs. One day In 1855 or 1859
two young men of fashion, Russians
both Of them, came in and called for
dinner In one of the little rooms which
were above the shop. They asked for
caviare, but when they got 1t they pro-
tested loudly that the caviare was Of
inferior quality and called for the own
or Of the shop. He came, apologized
and was met with the remark, tender
ed laughingly by one Of the diners,
that next time they came they would
bring their own caviare. They came
again and brought It In little white
wooden barrel, and when they left they
had 1t put on one side for them. From
time to time the two young Russians
came and dIned chez Chevet, dined In
variably In the same room and always
began their dinner with their own ca
Ware. One day they finished the bar
rel, and a few days later, in the after
noon, one of them brought another one.
"Put 1t In the little cupboard In the
room we always dine In" he said to
the waiter, land do not let anybody
touch It until we come to dine" The
waiter took II, but on his way upstairs
something peculiar struck him.
"Look at this barrel" he said to the
restaurant keeper. There Is some
thing queer about It."
"That Is no business Of ours" said
the master of the establishment, land
I am not going to look at It, anyhow.
What will our customers say II they
End we have opened III"
"Oh," said the waiter, I'VE can open,
1t and close 1t again, and they will new.
er know. 1t is certainly different from
the last barrel. 1t Is heavier, to begin
with"
His insistence prevailed, and the bar
rel was opened. The restaurant keep.
er and the waiter started back In
fright. There was no cavaire, but gun
powder In that little barrel, which was
an internal machine. The little dining
room was exactly underneath the impe-
rial box, and there is little doubt that
the emperor's next visit to the Coincide
Franchise would have been his last had
the carefully laid plot not been discov-
cred. The plotters never were caught,
although the secret of the plot was
guarded and traps were laid
for them In Chevets restaurant for
several days.-St James Gazette.

1.-The largest, broadest, deepest and
most Intellectual genius Of the nine
teenth century"-thus has Coleridge
been described, and probably no bet
ter description of the great philoso-
pher and litterateur can be found. He
was a youth of impulses and tried In
turn to become a cobbler, a surgeon
and a soldier before he settled down
and gave proof Of his vast literary at
tainments. Some Of his poems have
been accepted as the noblest pieces OF
imaginative writing produced by a
modern poet, while as literary critic
he had few equals In his generation.
He was n born journalist and lecturer
too.-Pearson Weekly.

AWAY WITH HITcHINe POSTS.
Why They Should Be Abolished and
Sheds Provided In Their Place.

Sheds Provided In Their Place.
Clarke M. Drake of Prattsburg, N.
Y, who wants the village hitchlng post
abolished, writes as follows to the
Farm Journal;
To many a horse the hitching post
becomes a freezing post. 1t will have
to go as did the old time whipping
post.
In the gales that often sweep through
the principal business streets of a vii
lage or town blanket will not ordi-
narily stay on horse. If a sudden
rain comes up, the men and women
seek shelter, but the horses have to
soak. The horses are fastened to a
post, and no one could blame them for
breaking away and finding a place
which their faithful service has pur-
chased. Many of them are driven hard
to and from the village and severely
suffer at the post from the effects Of
wind and storm.
In return for slackness In not provid-
ing sheds for the horses the village
people have to endure stable odor on
their streets whenever the weather Is
right for It, These odors drift into the
stores, and when the dropplngs are
dry and fine the winds blow the parti-
cles In also.
Some villages provide well built
sheds with feed hangers, where horses
may not only enjoy freedom from wind
and rain, but also have the protection
of their blankets and the pleasure Of
eating bite before returning home.
If goods are purchased, they may be
placed In the vehicle and be kept as
dry as when they came from the store
till the owner Is ready to 20 home. 1t
Is very unpleasant to think Of riding
home sitting on a wet cushion and I'M
der wet blankets.
Public sheds are not more or less
than guest barns where horses are to
stand in comfort and safety while the
owners are making purchases. Bust
ness men who have not enterprise
enough to provide Il place for custom
ers' horses do not deserve patronage.
l know q village Of 1,200 population,
live business town, which has not
free public hitching shed, and since
May l, 1905, it has been license
town. What will many a faithful
beast have to endure these winter
days and nights hltched In the open
streets, with its driver filling himself
with whisky, insurlng a merciless drive
homeward and perhaps an empty man.
