LOST IN PARIS.

An amusing story is told OF an Eng
lishman in Paris. After some hours OF
sightseeing. one day he lost his way and
could not get back to his hotel. He
asked first one and then another. but
the foreigners apparently did not under
stand their own language. At last in
sheer disgust ne tore A leaf out of his
pocketbook, wrote upon X the name of
his hotel, and silently presented II 20
the next passerby. The man looked at
him compassionately. beckoned him 20
follow. and without a word they gro
eeeded up one street and down another
Finally the wan6erer saw the docr az
his hotel. and forgetting in his relief and
gratitude all the difficulties Of the La,
guage. ne turned to his companion. and
said. Thank you very much. I am
greatly obliged TO you" The other
stared at him in amazement. and then
bluTted out. You duffer, why didn't
you speak before? I thought YOU were
deaf and dumb" The Samaritan was OF
his ewn NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The wslI paper student hired himself
A horse. and sailed forth TO rob the

All went well until he reached the
mountain top, consecrated by the feet
Of the beasts and the once ubiquitous
PoWhatan. The hero had repeated the
mural decorations OF his room as far
as the third strip on the west wall,
when there smote on the silence Of the
forest the booming Of a cracking twig.
The virginia. stiffness was beginning 10
do things
Then. without warning there doomed
another boom. and simultaneously the
horse SHE'D and the hero's mental pic
lures of wall paper resolved them
selves into a cataclyEmic shudder. He
began to wonder what was destroying
the first time IN my weeks the abso-
lutte and unquestioned futility OF n en-
oriZing wall paper

have voiced "A wordless scream that

shocking and desperate manner At any

When the hero. the equestrian. got
back to the hotel, ne had forgotten the

memory an ever-present picture Of the

rumble with which he charged through
the virginia. stiffness. aL1 the relief
which he had felt when the bear de-
parted.
Unfortunately, he was foolish enough
to tell the story. and to tremble and

mouth The guests here made up their
minds that he was better fitted for
