cruits examined for entrance to the
French army no the question, What
do you know Of Jeanne d'Arc?' one man
answered: She was a Queen of France
who was burned at the stake in 1870 by
the Germans" Another answered: She
was a noblewoman Of the time Of Henry

cruit said: Jeanne dare? A cele-
brated man who carried on wars" A
short answer was: "A heroine of the
day."-Chicago Evening Post.
