the recently restored guillotine, and
whenever there is to be an execution
the Apaches flock from all districts Of
the city to witness the CHASTITY sight
silently they stand, gazing at the
grim instrument of death, until the
condemned individual is brought forth
Ihen Jeers and howls break forth
from the crowd, and as the knife falls
the Apaches rush forward to dip their
handkerchiefs in the blood. These
they preserve as souvenirs. or sell
them to the degenerates of the upper
classes.
Strangely enough, the male Apa-
ches nearly all look alike. They are
hollow-cheeked dark-haired, furtive-
eyed. shambling of gait and sallow of
ompieXlon-always easily recognized
among the throngs on the streets.
The women on the other hand, as a
rule, are handsome, spirited and in
telllgent They dress well and give
especial attention to the care of their
hair, which they never cover with
hat. All of them, men and women,
profess to follow some trade as
safeguard against the occasional
raids of the police on their haunts.
Official Paris is somewhat dis
mayed by the rapidly growing men
ace of these Apaches bands. The
number of robberies and murders at
tributable to them is increasing
monthly, and as the victims very
often are travellers from foreign lands,
the crimes are having an appreciable
effect on tourist business

Is Tired Of Praylnu,

A little girl in st. Louis the other
evening was going through the usual
form of prayer: God bless mamma,
and papa and make me a good girl"
and so on, when all at once she
semed to come to a decision. Now
that is the last time l am going to
say that prayer" she said, very grave
ly, looking at her mother. You are
older than l am and 1t is your place
to ask for all those things and l don't
see au7 use in two peoples asking
the came thing" Since then she has
firmly refused to pray, insisting that
it is her mothers place to ask God
for blessings.

Like Coffin.

In an emergency the manufacturer
of Limburger cheese was forced to
use strategy with shipment. Ordi-
narily his product went in special
cars, but in this instance no car was
available and the order must be filled.
Two hundred pounds of the fragrant
comestible was put in a rough, OBJ
long box. and taken to the railroad
baggagerCom. Then the manufacture
er bought ticket for himself and the
box, and entered the train at the
first stop he went ahead to the bag
gage car to see shat there was no
trouble. He stood by the box in a
disconsolate attitude and shaded his
eyes with his hand. The baggageman
was sympathetic. "a relative?" he
asked. YES" answered the manu-
facturer, "it is my brother" WELL"
said the railroad man, philosophically,
''you have one consolation. He's dead,
al right."-San Francisco Argonaut.
