Seeing France with
Uncle John
BY ANNE WARNER
UNCLE JOHN PARALYZED
Copyrig hit, by the Century Co.

"Come in! Come on! Well, don't
you hear? Can't you understand any
oh, it's you, child. thought it was
one of those darned walters.
"Sit down; pull up a chair by the
bed. It's so long since I sent for you
that just about thought that you
were not coming. I suppose you were
surprised at my sending for you; but
it was the only way to do. It's hard
thing to break to you, Yvonne; but
you'd have to know in the course of
the day, and I always do everything
right off that I've not decided to wait
and see about. Now don't look fright
ened, my dear; nobody's dead-it's
only that I'm paralyzed!
There, what do you think of that?
Yes, it's true for a fact. My legs!

terday going up that cursed old tower,
and I had some very advanced ones
coming down from it, and this morn
ing, when started to shave, the truth
just burst in my face. Now, don't
try to say anything, for I've read too
many patent-medicine advertisements
not to recognize paralysis when feel
it up and down the back of my own
legs. I'm not the man not to know
my own feelings, and I want to tell
you that when I got up this morning
I couldn't stand up, and then, after l
stood up, 1 couldn't sit down; and If
that isn't a clear case of having COM
pletely given out, I don't know what
you would call it.
"Now, my dear, the question is,
what's to be done? OF course our
travels have come to full stop, for
shall probably never walk again. The
curious thing is that 1 don't feel any
particular inclination ever to walk
again. You've no conception of the
sentiments that / feel in my legs; but
if you roll the fatigue of lifetime
into either the left or the right, you
can get some faint inkling of the
first freshness of paralysis. tell you,
Yvonne, it is awful. Every cobble-
stone I've gone over seems to be sing
ing in my calves; but that neither
here nor there. What want you to
do is to go to the pocket of my valise
get out the cable-code book and look
out word that means Both legs par
alyzed. What shall do with the girls?'
You'll find word that means it, if
you look long enough. They've got 40
pages of words that mean every fool

day while waited for my money at
the bank.
well, amt you going to get the
cookbook? I don't want to be impa-
tient, but want some one to be doing
something. You don't know how rest
less it makes me to think of lying still
for the rest of my life. While I was
waiting for you, was thinking that
probably I shall live right here in
Caen till die. I'm very glad we got
here too late to see anything, because
now can take it bit by bit and drag
&c out through my remaining days. I
shall have wheeling-c chair and man
to push me around, and-well, maybe
it's in the little outside pocket. ]

Mistake Somewhere.

A story comes from Kentucky
town that is worth repeating. There
lives there a woman who says that
she has immediate communion with
the Almighty, and now and then de-
livers to those of common clay a mes
sage that she has received from on
high. The fact that these messages
sometimes take on very Materials
tic hue does not alter their effective
ness, in her opinion.
One day she went into the office Of
a well known attorney and approached
him solemnly as one about to reveal
an awe-inspiring secret

The attorney looked up and smiled.

A Household Tragedy.

With dignified gait and head erect
the woman descended the front steps
and proceeded slowly down the street.
In one hand she held a hatbox, in the
other large paper bundle, and in
her eyes was the light of battle.
The man ran distractedly after her.
Come back!" he cried. "For
heavens sake do not leave me thus"
But the woman turned upon him
with a whitening glance of scorn and
the corners of her mouth dropped
CONTEMPORARY.
"You don't know what that means
to me-" the man cried, in frenzy OF
dispair.
But in vain. Her retreating figure
had turned the corner, and the wom-

out of hearing distance. The man re-
entered the house and threw himself

Keep Their Faces Covered

graph on their memories the faces of
detectives and have taken advantage
OF it. To circumvent this, Chief Cook
suggested recently that the detectives
conceal their faces and Capt. Ander-
son introduced a custom that is in
vogue in large eastern cities. He has
ordered his men to conceal their faces
behind black masks.
The rule went into effect recently
and the result was startling. Low
browed footpads, their faces scanned
with villainy, were yanked out of their
cells and suddenly confronted with 40
burly masked men.
A gang of pickpockets was trotted
up and down the line like a herd of
frightened rabbits. A woman pick
pocket became hysterical and laughed
and cried vociferously. Three Migrants
took one look at the masks and bolted
back to their cells. 1t required the
united efforts of all the TRUSTEES" to
drag them out again.
When the inspection was finished
and the 40 detectives filed out the

The eight annual edition of the Cop
per Handbook, just issued by the author,
Mr.. Horace ]. Stevens, of Houghton,
Michigan, is at hand. 1t is an octave
volume Of 1900 pages. in BREWER type,
but by slight increases in the width and
height of the printed matter on each
page, together with reduction in the
leading, but without using smaller
face of type, each page carries one-third
more matter than formerly, and the
new edition, with only $500 pages,
contains one-half more matter than the
preceding edition, which had 1,22S pag-
es.
The principal chapter of the book,
devoted to detailed descriptions of the
copper mines of the globe, has 1,l85
pages, describing no less than 6,767
copper mines and copper companies, in
all parts of the world, comparing with
1927 listed in the preceding edition. This
long chapter, which was unrevi ed in
volume VII, owing to fire, accidel .nd
illness, has been completely rev itt,n,
even the obituaries of the defuncr COM
panies having been improved by the adj
dition of neat verbal tombstones.
The price of the Copper Handbook is
five dollars, in strong green buckram
binding, and the selling plan is unique,
as the book is sent to anyone ordering
it, from any part of the globe, without
penny in advance, the publisher prepay
ing carriage charges, and allowing the
purchaser q weeks inspection, and ac-
cepting the return of the book in settle
nent of the charge if, upon inspection,
t does not prove satisfactory. That
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1909-05-08

this plan is successful is proven by the
fact that it has been followed for six
consecutive years, and that the Copper
Handbook now circulates in every coun-
try that has postage stamp of its own,
and is claimed, by the publisher, with
out recorded contradiction, to enjoy the
largest circulation of any mining annual
printed in any language. Anyone inter-
ested in copper, or copper shares, can
we'll afford to write Mr.. Stevens, order
ing copy of the Copper Handbook,
without advance payment, and subject
to approval after weeks inspection.

The young lady did not seem averse

looked upon them with disfavor and
refused to let her see him. Miss
Vaughan had gone 10 school in this

Memorial Day.

We do not require the act of a
legislature or the proclamation of the
President to cause us to remember
our dead. but 1t is right and proper
that We publicly observe, in a right
and proper way, the day set apart
as Memorial or Decoration bay. There
are but few of us who have not on
Pine Hill or Otherwhere laid away the
precious form OF one who was near
and dear to us They will not, can
not be forgotten To us they are
still living as tender memories, and
on the annual occurrence OF Memorial
Day we gather fragrant buds and
blossoms and with our bright burden
We go where
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day"
lie the silent forms and the sacred
drst Of our loved and lost
Go, then, on the morrow, laden
with the choicest and rarest Of earth
richest bloom, and as you lay It
on the green graves OF your sainted
dead breathe the prayerful hope that
all is well with them and that 1t will
be well with you.
