This was in 1870, when the Prussians
were marching into France. One day
a party of French soldiers stepped up
to Jaques Chabouliez and arrested him.
They took him to headquarters. and
the general ordered them to search
him. In one of his pockets was found
tiny ball no bigger than pill. 1t
was carefully pulled apart and proved
to be tissue paper. On it was written
the position and strength of the differ
ent French army corps opposing the
Prussians
'That is sufficient" said the general
"Take him out and shoot him.
There was no formality of a trial.

country's enemies than die among his

fear that he would be shot for a spy

School Notes

The schools have been filling up quite
rapidly this week. Those rooms with
the new students are: High school, l
seventh grade, 3; second and third, Z,
and primary 3. The total enrolment in
grades is POI and 80 in the high school.
making a total of 240. The result OF
this increase is a bad crowding of the
three lower grades. The school board
is considering the ACCESSIBILITY of secur-
ing another teacher and giving her the
second and part of the first grade.
Miss McDill came the latter part Of
last week and Friday the new program
was put into operation. The remaining
classes in physiology, European history
and second wear German have started.
School spirit was very high the first
of the week over the matter of school
colors. Some of the adherents of orange
and black got into the building Monday
night to decorate the school with their
choice. After long parliamentary
struggle they lost. The result of the
struggle is considerable squabbling in
the high school.
Judge Long attended teachers meet
ing Monday after school and made sug-
gestions. He has taken up the matter
of more basins and faucets in the hall in
order to relieve the congestion which is
such nuisance at the present time. A
large roller towel will also be provided.
The children have been directed to bring
cups of their own. This is a sanitary
precaution.
The matter of lunching in the school
house has caused much tIouble, and the
pupils are now all eating lunch in one
room and in the same seats each day, so
that the offenders in the matter of
crumbs may be punished.
The books for all the grades except
the arithmetics came and were cata-
logued this week. On account of the in
crease in the high school'the newcomers
have been without books, but more
copies have been ordered tor them.
The new regulations, requiring an av-
erage grade of so in four subjects in the
high school before students can partici-
pate in athletics, caused considerable
talk this week.
The school board issued warrants this
week for last summers repairs to the
school house.

Fabr. JaQueS was very wrorn WIN
her for intimating such a thing.
One evening when Jaques came home
he found no supper, nor did he find his
wife. There was not even a fire in
the stove. Astonished, he went out
and inquired Of the neighbors if they
had seen Nine. Chabouliez After many
inquiries he learned that she, in COM
pany with Fabri, had been seen going
toward the Prussian picket line. Then
he began to lament and to curse and
to swear, saying that no man could be
sufficiently guarded against the duplic-
1ty Of women. His wife had been en-
deavoring to prejudice him against his
best friend, and now she had gone off
with that friend.
Nothing was seen or heard Of Mime.
Chabouliez or Pierre Fabri, and the
deserted husband assumed that to get
rid of him or to be where he could not
get at them to punish them they had
gone within the French lines. AS the
days passed and he heard nothing of
them he made up his mind that his
wife, In order that he might be shot,
thus rendering her a widow and en-
abling her to marry her lover had put
the paper in his pocket that had so
nearly cost him his life. This failing,
she had gone off with Pierre.
One evening when he was almost
ready to kill himself through grief and
anger at the treatment he had receiv-
ed his wife walked into their home.
His FIRST impulse was to order her
away. Then it occurred to him that
If she had gone away with Fabri she
would not have returned But he had
not long to wait for an explanation.
She threw piece of paper on the
table. He picked it up and read on it
confession from Fabri that he had put
the paper in her husbands pocket and

asked her how she had obtained #.

that we go within the French lines

French lines. On the way I told
Pierre that / knew he had placed the
paper in the pocket that was found
there, that l forgaye him because he
did 1t for love of me and that If his

this. so I refused to go any further
with him until he admitted it. He did
so, and l had little trouble later in get

says Sir Mountstuart Gunt-Duff In
his DIARY" hired II place in Scot

of a woman who was to be seen con-

the rooms and passages. When the
family arrived the lady was much
struck with the place and said. i must
have been here before. for know
this place so well. only there ought to
be two rooms here. and there is only
one.'
The agent replied that within a few
weeks the owner had caused parti

two rooms into one. Still the lady was
puzzled at her knowledge of the place
