Ventre thought the smoothshaven, long
haired gentleman very ridiculous when
he courted young redhaired girl. She
had no idea he was famous poet.
NJ Fentre insisted that the stout
gentleman who was eating all alone at
small table on their left looked like
the youngest son of the mayor of their
village, while in reality he was mill
lionaire banker from Vienna.
But the fruit and the wine that was
foaming in their crystal goblets was
delightful to look upon and they en-
joyed everything.
When they had finished their liquor
and coffee they felt even more at home.

By Jean Dumont.

A ARISTIDE vENTRE and his
MI wife, who ran a grocery store
in a large village in the de-
partment of Sarthe, had Unexpectedly
inherited the immense amount of TO-
600 francs and decided to celebrate the
joyful event by a trip to Paris.
They had never seen anything of
the gay metropolis, except a short peep
when they were on their wedding jour
ney, but since then many years had
passed and these they had spent, with
the exception of the few hours when
they had to sleep, in their dingy little
grocery store.
They we're hard working and saving,
and though they were not particularly
interested In groceries, they had never
found they had any reason to COM
plain about their lot in life.
Years ago Aristide had been rath-
er handsome curly-haired fellow 4no
his wife had been slender and beauti-
full but now they were both stout Sc
date and well in the fifties
With zoo francs they started for
Paris.
When they Were near the city, Nine
Ventre carefully arranged her hus-
bands necktie and tried to smooth
the creases in his black coat, which had
b0SH hanging IN closet since the fu
neral of his father. ten years ago
It would be too tiresome TO follow
them all over, for they stopped to look
at every window and never dared cross
street until the policeman raised his
white stick and stopped the gigantic
traffic OF cabs, carriages and automo-
biles. The white staff appeared to
them as pow erful as the one with which
Moses made the waters OF the Red Sea
recede.
It was a delightful evening in May.
The two tourists reached the Madeleine
church, near which they soon found a
restaurant that looked very inviting
There was nothing snowy about 1t from
the outside. so surely the prices must
be all right
There were not many people inside
when they entered They sat down at
a small table and a waiter who looked
as dignified as diplomat brought them
the menu
They felt very much at ease. Never
in their lives had they been sitting in
such comfortable chairs and never had
they set eyes on a whittier tablecloth or
more glistening silver and glasses.
Several couples came dropping in
now. Fashionably dressed young men
helped their companions to take off
costly silk-lined evening cleaks
Neither OF the old couple noticed that

Nor should we wonder at this. 1t is
the logic Of the situation. Glib takers
are VIGOROUSLY poor performers al

who quotes most poetry to his wife
before marriage is apt to hand her
most back talk afterward.
He who swears he will kill himself
If a girl won't have him is most likely
to make her feel like killing herself
because she has got him. He who most
protests his devotion is most sure to
take it out in words, and let his wife
take in boarders to support him.

THE ICE PRICE.


Editor FL Paso Herald:
Several women who represent the
best public sentiment of FL Paso were
interviewed today on the action taken
by the ice companies in demanding
advance pay for their commodity.
Mrs Olga Kohlberg considered that
the only solution was to recur 10 the
common usage and give to the pur-
chaser cents worth OF ice for his
nickel. as usual seeing many people
cannot afford to pay even for weeks
ice in advance.
Mrs s ]. Fennell. president OF the
Woman's club. considered that the de-
mand Of the ice companies is an out
rage on the working people and that
action should be taken against it.
Mrs. Alice Thompson said that every
citizen. rich or poor, should raise a
protest against the tyrannous ruling OF
the ice companies
Mrs. Merchant endorsed the sentf-
ments expressed by the others, and
several other women expressed their
determination to write The Herald
about the matter.
The general feeling gathered in q
house to house canvass is one of In
dignation and protest on behalf OF
those who cannot help themselves.

Cleveland, April 11-Tom L. john
son, twice congressman from the
Twenty-first Ohio district, four times
mayor Of Cleveland, champion Of the
three-cent street railway fare, and
prominent advocate of the single. tax
theories of the late Henry George,
died in his apartments in the White
hall, East 10th Street, at 8:45 o'clock
last night after long illness. Death
was caused by cirrhosis of the liver.
He was 81 years old.
MIR. Johnson had been i'll for more
than a year. but his condition was
not thought serious until he suffered
a relapse on Wednesday. March Is.
He had been gaining strength ever
since he came home after spending
the summer on Nantucket island. On
Saturday night. March II, he left his
apartments and attended a banquet
of the Nisi Prius club, an organization
of Cleveland lawyers. He remained
there until 2 a. M, Sunday and when
he returned to his home he complain,
ed of not feeling we'll.
The following Wednesday his con-
dition was such that he was obliged
to go to bed. From that day to the
time of his death his condition was
grave, though several times he made
seemingly impossible rallies. De-
spite the fact that he realized that he
did not have long to live, the former
mayor was cheerful and optimistic al
most to the last.
