STONED THE BARON.
When Do FreniIiy Enrassd the Mob by
Not Being Lafayette.


In 1891 Baron de Frenilly was
STAYING in Auvergne. At that time
Lafayette, the hero of two worlds,
was expected to take up his resi-
dence at Charaniac. Everybody
was on the lookout for him, and IN
his Recollection" the baron gives
an amusing story of being mistaken
for the great general. He writes:
Having gone to Clermont to meet
nv cousin and not knowing what to
do while awaiting her arrival, ] de-
cided to set off for Rom and bring
back some of its famous pies. So
| ordered post horses and left early
in the morning.
When passing through Montfer-
rand, league from Clermont, |
saw a huge crowd, and on asking
for information found that Lafa-
yette was expected to arrive that
very day.
In order not to meet him ! dou-
bled my pace, reached Rom in half
an hour and set off back to Cler
mont.
Everything went well as far as
Montferrand, but on descending to-
ward Clermont | found the road
from one town to the other lined
with troops and people. However,
| continued to advance. But be-
fore | had gone more than few
yards | heard voices saying: at is
he! 1t is he!"
Away l went like the wind. But
the shouts outstripped me, and in
few minutes was proceeding in
the midst of universal cry Of
'Long live Lafayette"
On travelling third of the way
there were salvos of artillery, the
troops beat the general" flags sa-
luted, and the municipality advanc-
ed on one side while the staff pre-
scented itself on the other. 1t was
then absolutely necessary to stop.
Lowering the carriage window, ]
asked the mayor what he desired.
"Illustrious general he re-
piled.
Monsieur" in.erjected, 81 am
not general. For whom do you
take me, and what do you desire?"
1--WE take you for whom you are.
the illustrious General Lafayette"
"Sir, | am hot Lafayette
Whereupon grenadier shouted.
"No, he isn't!"
"Who is he, then ?" beloved the
people.
Gan emigrant! A spy! A trail
tor. An aristocrat! Hang him!"
A volley of stones struck the car
riage. My position did not wait
for second discharge. He was of
like an arrow, and in ten minutes
was at the gates Of Clermont.
TO do them justice, ! must add
that the mayor brought me in the
evening the apologies Of the good
people who had stoned me as pun
ishment for not being Lafayette.

Startling Equine sasacity.

A startling story of equine sa-
gacity comes from the provinces.
A horse was standing in the shafts
OF carriage just outside the local
theater. 1t had a weary look, as
OF one that desired repose. Sud
denly it frightened up, and before
it could be stopped it made a dash
Tor the box Office. The reason for
this unexpected behavior gave rise
to much discussion till at last one
OF the crowd, more observant than
the others, pointed out that the
legend ITO the Stalls" was written
IN large letters over the box Office
window.-London Globe.

The shocks should be big. thirty i've

Il Broke Him.

A clever young woman, as re-
sourceful as she was pretty, married
a young man of rather gay habits.
Yet from the start all went well.
The husband soon became the vii
lnge model of domesticity.
"Jim," said girl friend to the
bride, ''no longer spends his even
ings at the club, does he?"
"Oh, no." said the other, laugh
ing. 81 soon broke Jim of that"
"How did you do it?" asked the
girl.

matron explained, "1'd put two arm

Advant age Of Diskins.

Disking after harvest is now being
recommended by men of study and ex-
perience as an important preliminary
treatment OF wheat land. The advan-
tages Of this practice can be readily
