He Was Ready For the Emergency and
Conquered the African.

He Was Ready For the Emergency ana
Conquered the African.
A show Of force Is often the best
kind of diplomacy. A writer In the
Paris Temps tells a story Of the French
admiral Dupetit-T -Thouars, who had
been intrusted with the mission or
exacting reparation from an African
bey who had insulted a French consul
AS Dupetit- Thouars' demands were
supported by the forcible argument or
loaded cannon, the bey acknowledged
that he had been too hasty and prof
fered profuse apologies. He even In
vited the admiral to his table and had
a sumptuous repast prepared for hts
guest.
The consul warned the admiral to be
on his guard.
"The hey is inclined to be malicious"
said he. land when he strokes his
beard and smiles you may be sure that
he is concocting some mischief"
I'VE shall see." was Dupetit-Thouars
reply.
He reached the bey's palace In good
time. Profuse compliments and salu-
tations were exchanged. All at once
the admiral's foot met some soft.
hairy substance lying on the carpet un-
der the table He bent down and saw
huge lion showing his formidable
teeth. The hey smiled and stroked his
beard.
Dupetit-Thouars did not vince. but
called his dragoman.
My pistols" was all he said.
The servant saluted, retired and
brought back pair of pistols on
silver tray. The admiral took them
and placed them on the table before
him. But the bey, still smiling, contin-
ued to stroke his pstriarchal beard.
Tell the commander" he said to
the dragoman, that if those pistols are
for the purpose of blowing out my
lions brains they are quite insufficient
and perfectly useless"
Then, like skilled fencer counter
ing his opponents thrust, after the
bey's ironical advice had been trans
lated Dupetit- -Thouars replied:
Tell his highness that my pistols ara
not there to kill his lion, but to blow
his own brains out at the first move
ment of this Questionable carpet"
Gravely. but little pale, the man
interpreted.
The smile died away on the bey's
lips. and he no longer stroked his
beard.
My llon," said he, lis too well train
ed even to scratch one Of my guests
but since he is not wanted he shall bt
sent away"
At word from the hey the lior
slowly and heavily left the room, lk'
an obedient dog.

Sanity at Last.

1t is stated that hereafter all roads
to be made by the state will be of brick.
No more macadamized roads will be
made. They are too expensive to keep
up. The brick roads will cost about
third more to construct, but will cost
almost nothing year for repairs.
Incidentally it may be remarked that
the officials of Reynoldsville borough
and Winslow township had the fore
sight land courage three years ago, when
there was hardly any brick paving done
with state aid in rural districts to in
sist on the use OF brick In and on the
highways out of town. Their judg-
ment has been yindicated. The extra
initial cost Of brick is nothing COM
pared to the continual expense Of re-
pairs necessary on macadamized roads.
