WILD DOGS MENAcED PARIS
Serious Situation That Became One Of
the Worst Features of Reign
Of Terror.

So many startling events happened
from day to day during the Reign of
Terror that the apparition of wild dogs
In Paris was commonly overlooked
But it was quite natural. The greater
part OF the grandees, who fed or went
into hiding, kept dogs, and very few
of them were able to make arrange
ments for the poor beasts when they
left home.
The dogs, abandoned, took to the
streets Of course, and shortly they be-
gan to congregate in two packs. one
occupying the Champs Elysees, and
one the Bots de Boulogne. Soon they
became a public danger. Carlyle pokes
fun at Santerre, the brewer, who pro-
posed a law that all dogs should be
hanged; he had not noticed the para
graphs In the newspapers telling how
people had been attacked In the
Champs Elysees.
At length the situation became real
ly grave, as is easily understood when
thousands of starving animals have to
find subsistence in starving city.
Many of them were wolf hounds, and
OF powerful fighting breeds. So IN
September, 1893, drastic measures
were taken against the Champs Ely
sees pack.
Two battalions Of the National
Guard surrounded the area, leaving a
gap toward the Rue Royale, while null
titudes of ragamuffins beat the cover.
The game was driven up to The Rue
Royale to the Place Royale, where
troops made battle of 1t, firing vol
legs. Three days consecutivsly this
operation was repeated ami more
than three thousand dogs lay in the
| place.
A certain Gaspardin received orders
to clear them away. and he, short OF
means, applied for the Royal equip
ages. 1t was timely jest, greeted
with applause. So M. Gaspardin
packed the dead dogs neck and heels
In the gilded coaches as full as they
would hold, and made state process
sion through delighted Paris.

tn. italian Soldier Under Fire.

These Italian soldiers were a new
experience to me. For sheer unemo-
tional daring l have never seen any
thing to equal the behavior of the Ital-

splendid body OF men from the point
of view of physique and discipline.
Much more than this can be said, how

HeroIsm Of Women.

It is painful to note that few Car
negie medals go to women. One might
infer from this that heroism Is exclu-
sively a male characteristic, comments
the Philadelphia Inquirer. Fortunately.
it isn't so. AS fact most women have
to be heroes to get through this world
at all. They do things right along
which would make a man famous.
Some of them exhibit constant hero
ism by livin, with men who ought to
be II Jail OF in the tomb. But, aside
frcm such considerations, women have
done their share IN every branch OF
heroic effort SO far as opportunities
opened.

one at Las Vegas, between Jack John
son and Jim Flynn, as was supposed
fell far short of being a scientific ex-
Inhibition. Flynn was so easy for Jack
that it became necessary for the
former to foul the latter,
though he claimed that he was
being fouled by Johnson. The fight

the former in the 18th round. There

GREAT PAINTERS EARLY DAYS
Elem Was a TalIo's Assistant, and
Worked His Way 20 Italy
TO Study.

Ziem, sitting cross-legged on Ia
BILE beside a window, worked as tall
| or's assistant for several years. His
life was thrown into new channel
by the arrival in the courtyard of an
| Italian family In which there was
handsome, authenticated girl, who
sang as a bPllad singer. The father
played a hurdy-gurdy, the mother made
lace, and boy performed divers gym
nastic feats The girl had fine
voice. Her father wanted new coat
and asked the elder Elem to make 1t
and Nine Ziem to take In part OF
the family as dodgers. She took in
the boy and girl.
The latter lifted the future painter
out of himself with her Venetian songa
and accounts OF the glorious city to
which she hoped soon to return. Her
name was Caterina. When she went
away Ziem felt miserable. He lost
spirit and could not shake on the sort
of paralysis that had seized on all his
faculties. At last he determined
with the help Of his needle and his
talent, as he thought, Of portrait paint

Venice. They answered TO his hopes
of going down by water TO Marseilles,
for he knew no geography. and thence
to Rome.
It would be now curious to see the

he did for them in. lieu OF passagS

ers and tourists. The former helped
him to enlarge his artistic culture, and
the latter took him about as guide.
But Caterina and Venice lay on his
heart. and he took the bold resolution
of going on foot to the city OF his

Montague, late with the Turks in
Tripoli, left behind by the crusad-

of anything in this world. After one
of the British campaigns in Egypt an
officer brought back as trophy such a
formidable weapon, which he hast
ened to submit to the late Mr.. Jack
Latham, head of the Wilkinson Sword
company, in Pail Mall, saying that,
in his opinion, the thing belonged to
the first half of the eleventh century.
NO." said Mr. Jack, with a smile,
after a slight scrutiny of the blade,
"it belongs to the second half of the
nineteenth century. There's our trade
mark in the corner of the hilt."
