REVIVAL OF FAMOUS FAIR
Students in Paris Parade on Ami
versary Of tho Lendlt, Celebration
Of Centuries Ago.

American students must envy their
European brothers the excuses for
getting up celebrations and anniver-
saries. The students of the univer-.
sity Of Paris this year determined to
revive the famous fair of the Lendlt.
From the twelfth century to the
sixteenth, this annual fair, held in the
plain of st. Denis, was b occasion
of much festivity. The official con-
nection with the university ~ that

the faculty and the rector. ven In

bearers and trumpeters. went through
the Latin quarter announcing the COM
ing pageant. And next afternoon a
fantastic procession started from the
Pantheon.
First came a squad Of archers and
mounted trumpeters, then the herald
of the city on foot. Behind him ap-
peared the rector of the university,
with a mounted man carrying his ban
ner, the provost of the parchment
sellers, professors and members OF
the faculty in their robes.
Then came a merry column follow
ing the King Of the Basoche,' who
was mounted on a donkey and accom-
panied by his clowns. This column
consisted of the students Of the -four
nations-France, Anjou, Picardy and
Normandy, each with its band OF
music.
While the only object Of the pageant
was fun. 1t was correctly costumed,

participants and the crowds Of spec
tators enjoyed 1t SO much that 1T may
be made an annual affair.

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

81 can truthfully say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me Of four long
years of eczema. About four years
ago I noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving it any attention, 1t soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If I would have them in water for a
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. l could
lay a pin in them. After using all
the salves l could think Of, / went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief I got was
scratching.
$50 after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, I pur-
chased one complete set, n after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely we'll, one set being all l used"

wagons to market, and men working
In the fields, were all to be seen with
wonderful clearness.
Presently his curiosity was satisfied
and he climbed down from his lofty
perch and quietly retraced his steps.
He went to his boarding house and
ate breakfast with a heartiness that
made the cook tell him hat he had the
appetite of a horse. While he was
at the table, Ezra Wallace came in.
The exton spoke to him very coldly.
Brooks became alarmed. He did not
desire the i'll will of the old man,
and, above all, did not wish to have
his plans go astray, so he tried to con-
ciliate him.
Good morning, Ezra! you're looking
fine this morning."
That's the way all respectable folks
should look" was the gruf re-
ioinder.
Sure" responded the detective, who
did not quite grasp the meaning Of the
sections remark.
The latter eyed him coldly for a mo-
ment and then said in an accusing
voice:
81 may have my faults, but I've
never stayed out all night in my
life"

the man. He cracked his whip and
started the horses. But the detective
moved with amazing quickness and
GOODNESS. He pulled his pistol and
pointed it at the farmers head.
Halt" he cried.
AT the same moment his two assist
ants rushed from their places OF con-
cealment.
You see said Brooks, pleasantly,
its three against two. You might as

But l don't understand" replied
Davis, who did look dazed. whats
the meaning of this performance?'
1T can be explained in a few
words, said the detective. I'm rep
r~esentative of the United States gov
eminent, and l charge you with main
tanning an Illicit distrillery."
But I pay the government tax
con a small part Of your product
only. You've been cheating Uncle
Sam for a long while"
Davis laughed dryly.
That's easy to say, but you can't
prove it"
Yes 1 can"
"How?"
"1ere and now. That wagons full

At this psychological moment the
detective gave a terrific sneeze.
IF you had been in you warm bed
last night" said Ezra, now making his
accusation direct, you probably
wouldn't have had that cold"
oh, that's all right" was the cheer
full reply.
1T is not all right" retorted the sex
ton, and I'll thank you to give me
back hat key"
Brooks handed it to him with some
misgivings.
What are you going to do?" asked
the detective.
Il don't know yet was the reply.
TN find out first whether a~nything's
been taken out of the church. After
that I'll decide what to do
1t took Brooks nearly an hour to
pacify the old man, and in convincing
him that although he was travelling
under an assumed lame, and spent the
night in the steeple Of the church, he
was engaged in a legitimate business,
and assured him that in a short time
he would explain it all to his salts
faction.
The day after his night in the
church steeple, Brooks was very busy.
He telegraphed to Cincinnati several
times, and during the afternoon and
evening it was noticed that several
strangers alighted from the way train
that stopped at Meadboro. The detec-
tive was very stiff from his exposure,
but he managed to conceal his dis
comfort in the thought of the impor-
tan work that lay before him
He vas up at daylight the following
morning. He stationed himself in the
road that led from the Davis farm to
the station. The ~two-horse team
that was in the habit of hauling the
milk to the rain was due at six
o'clock. 1t rumbled along just at the
hour. Davis, himself, occupied a
place on the eat beside the driver.
The detective stood nea a turn In the
road. Behind him, concealed in a
clump of bushes, were two ~able-bodied
assistants. AS the team reached that
point Brooks stepped in front Of
the horses.
Good morning, Mr.. Davis-how are
you feeling this morning."
None of your business" was the
rough rejoinder. Get out Of the
way and let these horses pass"
you're not very polite this morn
ing"
I'm in a hurry, and I've got nc time
to waste on you"
Then you'll have to take the time"

The can was opened, however, N
it was found to contain high proof

cans were filed with distilled spirits.
Davis was arrested, tried and convict

defrauding the government defeated.
Brooks was highly complimented by
Commissioner Rollins, and shortly aft
erwards was assigned to Philadelphia,
where he won new laurels in ferreting
out and convicting those who were
cheating Uncle San of his legal dues.

a cent of tax"
Davis lips curled with scorn.
Il thought you didn't know what
you were talking about. We have 20
cans Of milk in the wagon and It's
consigned to the Harvey Milk COM
pany of Cincinnati. Isn't that true,
SAM"
The driver of the wagon, being thus
appealed to, nodded a sleepy head.
Yes, sir" he said, that's as true
as gospel"
Brooks climbed up on the hub Of the
front wheel and looked at the wagon.
IF o have milk here" he said,

ularly, "Ill take a quart"
But it's fastened for shipping"

The man did as he was babe, and
sure enough 1t contained nothing but
pure milk.

Davis triumphantly.
Yes; open the can on the other

the House Saturday. The bill pro-
vides that the people of the county
shall have the right to elect the
County Board of Education and
County Superintendent, and further
provides that books sufficient for a
common school education shall be
furnished free by the county. The
bill has not yet been acted upon by
the Legislature, but it should pass
and we believe that every Republican
county in the State would be glad to
have such a bill for their county, even

DIR. JULIAN SAYS IT'S A PLOT.

Denies Charges Preferred Against
Him by Mr.. Arthur Pearce-Case
Promises Sensational Develop
ments.
A special to Sundays Greensboro
News from Thomasville says:
''Dr. D. C. A. Julian, against
DR.. C. A. Julian. against whom al
legations of a sensational nature
were recently preferred. returned to
his home here to-day after an abb
sence of about two weeks. Upon his
return the summons In the civil ac-
ton recently instituted by Arthur
Peace was served. The allegations
against DIR. Julian are that while at
tending the wife of the plaintiff dur
ing a recent illness the defendant
subjected her to indecencies. There
is also a charge Of malpractice and
a prayer that the license of DR.. Jul
ian as practitioner be revoked:
The amount Mr.. Peace seeks to
recover is not known, though it ia
said to $4,000. Mrs. Peace, to
whom it is alleged DR.. Julian made
improper proposals and acts, died
three weeks ago, though few hours
before her death her husband says
she made full statement of the
conduct of DR.. Julian and a request
that he be prosecuted to the fullest
extent of the law. Mrs. r. J. Tom
linson, a sister of Mr.. Peace, is also
said to have witnessed acts Of DR..
Julian, which, says the allegations
of Mr.. Peace, were improper and
highly revolving.
The plaintiff has employed Walser
and Walser and e. A. Ragan, of Lex
ington, and T. J. Shaw, of Green's
boro, to look after his interests.
Julian Says It's Plot.
Upon his return here DR.. Julian
expressed surprise at the action of
Mr.. Peace, especially as to his allie
CATION of improper conduct toward
Mrs. Peace.
Tonight DR.. Julian had been more
fully acquainted with the charges
and publicity which had been given
them and his surprise of the morn
ing had been turned to indignation.
He unhesitatingly declared tonight
that the charges were false, entirely
without foundation, and instituted
solely throug malicious motives.
DR.. Julian says it's a plot, pure
and simple, and that the designs of
certain parties who are attempting
to ruin him will be exposed if the
case against him is ever brought to
trial
