Last Of the Paris lanterns.

London Evening Standard: A relic
of the days Of terror in the revolution
when the a~ristocrats were strung up
to lanterns in the Paris streets has
disappeared. Until last week the last
Of these lanterns, which were pulled
UP and down on a pulley to a gaIlows-
shaped iron rod, still hung opposite
the Hotel de Lausanne, on the DUAL
des Celstins. Some necessary repairs
to the quay made it imperative to pull
down the wall, and the lantern has
been sent to the Mussee Carnavalet.
1t was the last oil lamp in the Paris
streets, and until last week was filled
and lighted every evening.

them to let their young companions
know when they are going to call. as
the visit might otherwise be quite an
Inconvenience to the household. This
would be done with gracious little
note or even by message over the tel

Schweikart & Collins. You might run

Harry nodded, and after some talk
about other business matters he left
the bank firmly convinced that his new
life was not going to be SO bad after
all. ~
On leaving college he had asked that
he might have couple Of years In
which to travel. but instead he swung
TO athletics. Thus four years had passed
while he was acquiring case Of tro-
piles. and he was now content to begin
his business training.
He had rather dreaded that begin
ming. for his father. though Just, was
strict. and his son knew that It meant
starting at the bottom.
It was rather good fun to be sent
after Arthur Smith. Harry had never
met the eccentric old millionaire, for he
had mixed little with society while In
training, and, on the other hand, Smith
was breaking into society on his daugh-
ter's account.
Harry had heard many odd tales Of
the old man, and he thought It would
be more or less Of lark to camp on
his trail for awhile.
He was even better content after his
nrst visit, and he rather hoped that the
collection would not be made quickly.
for on that occasion he met Lillian
Smith. She was indeed good to look
upon.
He had not seen much OF the women
Of his mothers set. He had made nth-
leties his hobby. and he had noticed
women only at the track events. Then
they formed merely mass Of brilliant
color In the stands. and he thought Of
them only In the plural.
the frst time he now thought OF
~ one woman. and he mentally de-
cided that Lillian Smith was the one
woman worth while thinking OF at all.
