had published writing entitled
"Epistre envoyee au tigre de la

Tiger Of Franco, a satire directed
against the cardinal of Lorraine, then
all powerful, which had probably been
imprinted at Basic in Switzerland, or
Strasburg, Germany The culprit, ac-
cording to the historian De Thou, was
a poor little bookseller, native OF
Rouen. While he was waiting at the
gibbet, says Charles Winslow Hall In
the National Magazine, one of his fell
low countrymen, coming into Paris on
business, saw him on his way and
recognized him. "Then," says Regnier

was condemned to death, he alighted
from his horse at a neighboring hos
telry, and, seeing the people very
angry against the unfortunate man,
cried to them, "Eh what. my friends,
is it not enough that he dies? Leave
him to the executioner. Would You
like to torment him more than his SEN

Norman's pity misplaced. He was
forthwith arrested, Judged and hanged

process in the same fatal Place Mau.

THE SNOW rs GENERAL
Downfall of Snow Reported From the
Rocky Mountains to

Local residents who have fused
with the furry of snow which began
last evening at 9 o'clock, have a
genuine grievance in common with
hundreds OF thousands of other peo-
pie in the immediate vicinity of the
Rocky Mountains on the west, and
the Mississippi river on the east.
While the downfall started at
o'clock, there was cessation in the
furry until early this morning, when
the elements begun in earnest to
cloak wide scope of territory with
a blanket of wet and disagreeable
snow.
The snow in these parts, showed
signs of giving up its task shortly be-
fore the noon hour, and shortly after
that hour the air had cleared and
there was naught but few strag-
Cling flakes in sight, aside from that
which covered the ground and build
ings.
Many heavier SHOWS have fallen
but for real mushy, slushy footing
few previous SHOWS of the winter have

and sunshine would dissipate thu
