A vagrant chicken which had wan

chicken enjoyed itself hugely among
the lettuce and tender sprouts of the
garden until discovered by the pro-

The City of Mexico is possibly the
best policed metropolis in the world
but its officers. while vigilant. take
every instruction given them in lit
eral sense. They will arrest anybody
or anything that violates a city ordi
nance.
A short time ago there was col
lision between two automobiles, one of
the machines being SO badly damaged
that 1t had to be left at the place
where the accident occurred The per
sons occupying the machine were
promptly bundled into the auto which
was able TO proceed. and the entire
party went to the police station.
But that did not excuse the broken
car. 1t was formally arrested on the
spot and an officer detailed to see that
it did not get up and limp back to its
garage. BY some chance the broken
automobile was forgotten for two days.
at the end of which time the police
captain discovered that he was shy one
gendarme. Investigation discovered
the gendarme asleep in the machine,
where he had camped out ever since
charged with its care. And it is very
cold up on this Mexican plateau AT
night, as the City of Mexico is more
than a mile above sea level.

Fearful Fate of RavailIac.

In these days when executions. If
held at all. are mostly carried out in
private. 1t is difficult for us TO under
stand the feelings of savagery with
which an old time mob witnessed
popular execution. Here is Bloundelle
Burton's account-from The Fate of
Henry of Navarre"-of the scene when
Ravaillac. the assassin of the king.
had. after shocking tortures. been torn
asunder by wild horses: The execu-
toner had begun to dismember him
and was about to east his remains into
the second caldron when the vast
crowd prevented him from doing so.
They each required a portion of the
body of the kings assassin. and most
of them obtained one. That night
many bonfires blazed in and around
Paris, aud in their midst were con
sumed pieces of Ravaillac's frame; on
barn doors in other places were nailed
similar scraps of his body. as hawks
and owls and carrlon crows were nail
ell as a warning to Others of their
breed"

While Grant was president General

House to pay his respects. Grant knew
that his old comrade at West Point

war and offered him the marshalship
of Virginia. While sorely needing help.
General Pickett knew the heavy draft
made upon the president by office seek

You can't afford to do this for me-"

II can afford TO do anything | please
