"After You, GentIemen.~

The French at Fontenoy, sheltered
by the ridge, could scarcely believe
their eyes at the sight of the English
gunners Slowing round their pieces to
cover them. When they at length real
lied that 1t was one Of the enemy's
and not one Of their own batteries the
officers Of the Gardes Francois rushed
to the head Of their men, shouting to
them to deploy and charge the cannon.
Almost at the same moment the gren-
adiers cleared the hilltop and began to
descend upon him. 1t was then that
there occurred that wonderful meeting
which has charmed so many genera
tions of readers. Every one knows the
description Of the scene for which Vol
talre was indebted to D'Argeson; how
the French officers, In their blue and
silver coats and their long scarlet vests
and stockings, waited the approach Of
the greAadiers, hat in hand; how the
redcoats doffed their marvellous shield
fronted caps, while Lord Charles Hay
bowed to the opposing line with the
words, Gentlemen Of the French
guard, please to fire firstw to which the
Comte d'Anteroche replied: Gentle
men, we never fire first Fire your
selvesw Such was battle Of the
grand age as pictured by the arlstocrat
who saw the universe reflected In the
mirrors Of the Oeil de Boeuf, but in the
Lothian papers there Is yellow letter,
written by Hay, in hospital after &C.
tlon, which gives ruder and, 1t is to
be feared, more natural version Of the
story.--London Spectator.

SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT

Admiral Robley Evans tells the
following story against himself. He
had Congressman for guest, and,
having run out of his favorite brand
of whisky, made up with some he
could not guarantee. He explained
this, and added
Here, however, is some brandy
that I've kept untouched for great
deal more than twenty years"
Hand me over the whisky de-
canter," was the rejoinder.
Why" asked the Admiral,
What's the matter with the bran
dy?"
That's what | want to know,
Bob," said the guest; but if you have
had it in your possession for more
than twenty years, there must be
something pretty bad the matter
with it, ,"-Tid-Bits.

THE GREAT EMANCIPATOR
Written for THE GUARDIAN.)

When Lincoln went to New Orleans,
A youth of twenty-five,
He saw some slaves sold in the mart,
The way they used to do;
Said Lincoln, turning to his friend:
Let's hence away, dear pard,
And if the chance doth e'er arise,
Pll hit that system hard"
Small chance there seemed that awk-
ward youth
Would ever gain the power
To even cripple, less destroy,
That system in an hour;
A system grown from ancient times,
And firmly fixed by years, "
That ground out wealth and place
and power
From human blood and tears.
Yet upward forged the homely lad,
His eye fixed on the goal,
And sometimes far ahead it seemed,
But strength was in his soul;
He saw the future at glance,
With rare prophetic mind,
And in his proclamation were
The thoughts his soul OWNED.
He struck the shackles from the
slave,
And freedoms gates unbarred,
And thus proved true his early words:
He hit the system hard;
But sent message of good cheer
To every land and cline,
And placed his name with Washing
toms,
Enduring for all time.

The Auditorium,

But two days remain for those who
 have not witnessed the sparkling vaudeville and motion picture bill at the Auditorium. The management has shown excellent judgment in putting together a show in which there were no conflicting numbers. One of the many features for the current week is the act of the Marshall brothers, two clean-cut, perfectly developed athletes, who perform with ease and precision feats of remarkable strength and agil- ity. The laughing honors of the pro- sramme go to Lon Smith, the popular Boston musician and composer, whose impersOnation of Hebrew musician is scream. MT. Smith is ably as- sisted by MT. Casey. a performer of no mean ability on the saxaphone and cornet, who holds down the difficult position of straight man in first class style. Burton and Shea have a neat talking skit which enables MT. Burton to display to advantage an excellent tenor voice. Greta Byron and Lillian Morelle hold up their end of the pro-
 gramme to the best advantage. New pictures for Friday and Saturday are: Love and War GA Tale of Waterloo), Knight for Night, The Course of True Love. Vendetta. The Garbage of Paris and others.

BREED THEATER.
Change of Heart" the Superb Bio
 graph Picture.

The immensely popular biograph cast appeared again to large and enthusiastic audience at the Breed the ater last evening, but this time in new vehicle for displaying their versa tility, it being the pretty and accurate portrayal of the love of a wealthy city youth for a simple country maiden, shown under the title of Change of Heart. In this picture the youth de- ceives the trusting girl by a mock marriage, the fact not being discov- cred until the arrival of the young villains mother from abroad; then she gives him some advice, which he is forced to accept, and he hastens to the home of the young girl, and takes her with him to her own pastors, where they are legally married in the presence of the members of both fam lilies This picture is as handsome a one as has been shown this season. and the marvelously truthful interpre- tation of the various roles is most commendable.
 The programme also shows several other feature pictures, each over 1000 feet in length, and of absorbing inter- est,s pictorially perfect and proving most satisfactory to the large number of spectators.
 Miss Florence Wolcott, the soprano soloist at the Breed. is winning her way rapidly into the favor of the pat rons of this popular theater, her un- deniable talent and ability, partially won through the possession of rep ertoire of thirty five operas. appears to advantage in the beautiful selec tion, My Villa, from The Merry Wid- nNN

SHEEP INDUSTRY.
Hart E. Buell. Believes 1t Can Be Made
 a Success in Connecticut.


 Can the sheep industry be made a success in Connecticut? Hart E. Buell. of Hebron believes in sheep hus- bandry for a young man. He says in the Hartford Courant:
 Sheep are not raised enough in this state. According to the report of the superintendent of agriculture, there were at the beginning of this year 137. .OOO milch cows valued at $3S apiece S3,OOO other cattle valued at s17.50, making the total value of cows and cattle $6,65S,OO0. There were only 34.- 900 sheep, valued at $40 head $150,0O0. and 52,000 dogs. or 50 per cent. more dogs than sheep. A Wis consin breeder of sheep has said that the sheep industry is profitable in pro- portion to the quantity and quality of the dogs kept in a community and that the intelligence of a community is noted according to the conspicuous ab- sence of dogs
 According to these statistics there is one sheep to six and half head of horned stock, $1 invested in sheep to $44 in cattle. What are these sheep paying as compared with cows?
 Statistics gathered from several dairymen give the average amount re ceived per year per COW above the cost of grain as SAP, that is, the aver age COW is paying SAP per year for hay. grass, taxes, interest insurance shrinkage in value, care, etc. part of the dairymen who furnished these figures are making butter and part are shipping milk.
 According to the old rule. it took the same amount of hay to winter one COW that it did to winter ten sheep. My estimate is six sheep to one cow A low estimate of the returns from sheep after paying for the grain is S4 each per year. Most breeders give it as $5 to $6.
