A shrewd Doctor.

tsThis Incident said doctor, chap
pened in France two or three centu-
ries ago, in the days when public
criers were always in evidence. There
was a physician Of Montpelier who
used to go from place to place to prac-
tice the healing art. He employed a
very ingenious trick to help him on
his way. When he came to a town
where he was not known he pretended
to have lost his dog, which he de-
clared was a very valuable animal,
and ordered the public crier to roam
about, beat loud on his drum and offer
reward Of Is louis to whoever should
bring the dog to him. At the same
time the crier was directed to mention
all the titles and academic honors Of
the doctor as well as his place of resi-
1ence. OF course 1t happened that the
doctor was not long in becoming all
most the sole topic Of talk in the town.
The people made up their minds that
he must be a famous physician as
well as very rich one, rs he could Of

Winning a Jurymarl.

1t is related Of Lachaud, the most
famous Of French criminal lawyers In
the last century, that in pleading GER
tain case he perceived that one Of the
jurors seemed to be hostile to him and
his argument.
In the faces Of all the other men in
the box he saw with his practiced eyes
that his oratory or his shrewdness was
having its effect, but this man, in spite
of all Lachaud could do, remained
frowning, suspicious. obdurate.
Lachaud continued with his work,
however, and presently, saw that his
opportunity had come. It was a hot
day, and a ray Of sunlight had pene-
trated crevice on the curtain and was
shining on top Of the head Of this jury
man, who was quite bald. The lawyer
paused in his argument and addressed
himself directly to the court.
If your honor would please" he
said, ''to order that the curtain in
yonder window be lowered trife 1
am sure that the sixth juryman would
appreciate it."
This sign Of watchful attention won
the obstinate juryman's heart and

1t is said that one of the most beau

was first revealed to her husband on
The walls of the salon. 1t was while
visiting the salon in 1873 that the
youthful Marquis de G. was struck by
the childish beauty Of young girl,
one of the prominent figures in pic
ture Of village fete. Her tumbled
golden locks, her, dancing blue eyes
Ind the freshness and graceful aban-,
don of her figure SO fascinated him
that he sought out the artist and learn
ed from him that the "little witch"
was the daughter Of a poor peasant
near Avranches, where the picture was
painted. To seek out the peasant and
to make the acquaintance of his fas-
chatting daughter, child Of nine sum

marquis lost his heart even more COM

had the girl educated at one Of the
best schools in Paris, and nine years
later, on her eighteenth birthday, the
maid Of the village fete blossomed
into the still more lovely Marquise
