THE "COUP De JARNAC."
A French Adaee and the Incident Upon
Which Ii Rests.

Which 1t Rests.
The "coup de Jarnac" has become a
French proverb, and it serves to dis
tnguish a stroke as decisive as un-
foreseen which intervenes for the set
tlement of any affair." The adage rests
upon an incident in the life Of Gui
Chabot, Seigneur de Jarnac, a noble
Of the court of Francis I. The lie pass
ed between him and LIE Chateigneraie,
the dauphin's favorite King Francis,
however, forbade the duel. At the sue
cession of Henry II. the old quarrel
was revived, and the overdue duel was
fought on the plain Of st. German
with all the fornality Of the ancient
judicial combats and in the presence
of the whole court Jarnac was weak
er and less agile than his adversary,
who was one Of the noted swordsmen
Of the time, but he had taken lessons
from an Italian bravo. In the duel
Jarnac waited for an opening and
then dealt La Chateigneraie a heavy
and unexpected stroke which ham,
strung him. This was In 1447. Ten
years later Jarnac was captain in
the 5defense Of st. Quentin. Eventual
" he met his fate in duel. But the
'coup de Jarnac" is historic In the an

With His Check Book.
During q financial stringency
Swedish farmer in one Of the middle
west states had sold some hogs on the
local market and upon receiving his
check in payment Immediately went to
the local bank to realize on his sale.
Upon presentment Of the check the
banker said to him, "Do you wish the
money on this check?"
"Vell, tank yust so veil take him."
was the quick reply.
"You really want the money!
"Yah; I tank ! take the none"
"But do you really need the money"
asked the banker.
"Vell, no; + don't exactly need him,
but tank take the lon-e."
WELL" said the banker, 'if you real
ly want the money Of course T will
give it to you, but thought If you
did not need it perhaps you might open
an account and deposit the money and
then check against it as you needed
it,
"Den ven 1 send my shecks here you
will refuse to pay dem."
"Oh, no, we won't. If you open the
account, we will pay your checks
whenever they come in"
This seemed assuring to the Swede,
and he said, "Vell, if you pays my
shecks, den I open de account" And
the account was opened and passbook
and check book handed to the new Gus
toner.
Half an hour later close friend Of
the new depositor appeared at the

amount Of the deposit, which was
promptly paid by the banker without

A Wedding Day Reminder.

William James, the famous psychol-

Boston:
IAN odor often brings back mem
cries that we had thought buried for
ever. AS we regard some strange
landscape it often seems to us that
we have been just here before. The
oldest, the most momentous associa-
tions oftentimes attach themselves to
the most rifling things.
'sThus at Thanksgiving dinner that
once attended the hostess said to q
sour faced man on my left:
"eMay I help you to some OF the
boiled rice, Mr.. Smith"
"sRice? No, thank you-no rice fol-
me- Smith answered vehemently. 1t

The Only Way.
My butcher sells me doctored veal.
My coal man sells me ,clinkered coal,
My grocer sells me noldered meal,
Ny baker stints the breakfast roll,
My vintner sells me weakened hoch,
With other tinctured chernic wines,
My broker sells me Watered stock
And boosted shares in salted mines.
How can I make both ends to meet
When thus these rogucs my wealth pur.
loin
Unless I practice like deceit
And pay their claims with tainted coin
