The origin of the fieur.de.lis Ia stir
an unsettled question. There are many
theories, but no two of them agree.
One makes the emblem originate with
Clovis l., andother with Louis VII, an.
other with one of the German kings
Of the twelfth century and still an.
other with the Romans. All that ia
definitely settled is the fact that since
the twelfth century the 6eur-de.lls has
been employed as the emblem OF
French royalty. The nature OF the
emblem is also In dispute. An old
tradition makes 1t the representation
OF the lily given by the angel to
Clovis at his baptism Another theory
is that 1t was adopted by Louis VII.
In allusion to his name, Louis Florus.

this conventional line and give the
baby a carriage.
Being a very busy man, he commits

said: "Bess, did you get that baby

A certain theatrical troupe, after
dreary and unsuccessful tour, finally

there was enough hand-clapping to
arouse the troupe's detected spirits.

profoundly. Still the clapping con

BRIDE BALkEo AT THE ALTAR.
Massachusetts, Girl Refused to Wed
Count and Denounced Him.

At st. Stanislaus' church. Fall River,
Mass, Angela Pawlow, daughter Of q
merchant, absolutely refused to go on
with the marriage ceremony that was
to unite her to Basyl Mulinski, who
says he is Polish count and the
owner Of an estate in Russia.
The marriage had been set for
eight o'clock. The church was crowded
with friends and relatives. The BRIDE
groom had answered an exultant
Eyes" to the usual question, and the
bride, in white silk wedding dress
with long veil and wedding bouquet,
seemed to smile as Father Basin
turned to her and asked: will thou
take unto thee this man to be thy
lawfully welded husband?"
The bride dropped her hand from
the arm OF the bridegroom. She
turned and faced the crowded church
and answered loudly:
mo- he has been unfaithful to me
before marriage. l will not marry
him"
Then the girl ran down the aisle to
her mother. The audience was dunn
founded. Before 1t really appreciated
what had happened the church officials
had cleared the church.

Another lady who had been trou-

BUYING PAINT BLINDLY.

Many people look upon paint buy
ing as lottery and so 1t is, the way
they do it. 1t is not necessarily so,
however. Pure White Lead and lin
seed oil are the essential elements of
good paint. Adulterants in white lead
can be easily found by the use of a
blowpipe. Authorizations in linseed oil
can be detected with fair degree of
certainty. See that these two elements
are pure and properly put on and the
paint will stay put.

Anecdote Of klna Edward.

The "Gaulois' relates the following
"anecdote delicleuse." Edward VII,
while still prince of Wales, was &C
customed to take his morning walk
alone in st. James park. One day he
noticed that he was being followed
by two little boys, and turned round
to look at them. Although at first
much disconnected, one Of them
plucked up courage, and, taking of
his cap, said: Your royal highness,
my little friend is French, and have
just made bet with him that you
are the heir to the throne Of England"
The prince of Wales replied, smiling:
You have won; but what was your
little friends bet?" He bet that
your royal highness was a Partisan"
"oh, well, them" said the prince,
smiling, he has also won"

pocket Greek testament he always car

Bates ran in to report a summons
at the outer wall, and Larry and
went together to answer It, sending
Bates to keep watch toward the lake.
Our friend, the sheriff, with a dep.

up and talked to us over the wall.
- "You gents understand that I'm only
doing my duty. It's an unpleasant
business, but the court orders me to
eject all trespassers on the premises,

The sheriff's seeming satisfaction
with his position on the wall and his
disposition to parley had begun to
arouse my suspicious, and Larry sew

the absurdity of discussing my affairs
