Jones Admitted 1t,

Jones and Brown argued as they al
ways did when they had time enough.
They had dined together. and as Jones
lived at distance and it was very
late Brown offered to put him up for
the night.
On the way home they fell to dis
cussing the strategy of the Civil war
as indicated by the campaigns Of Lee
and Grant. The topic was elastic
enough to keep them going for half
an hour and reached its height an
they neared the Brown house
Then Brown lost his temper.

He's a fine man. said the friend,
"a fine, handsome man. His only
trouble is that he's a little bellicose.'

Richelieu.

Richelieu, pretty little place about
1919 miles from Chinon, in the depart
ment of Indre-et-Loire, France, derives
its name from the family of Cardinal
Richelieu, whose patrimonial lands ex-
tended to an area now occupied by
part of the town. The people have
not shown any undue haste in c.,m-
memorating their townsman, who, aft
er all, stands in little need of mon
ument. A COMMITTEES has been FORM
ed and has, appropriately, the hign and
unanimous patronage of the Academic
Franchise, which owes its existence to
the cardinal. Other learned societies
are represented. 1t has not been
decided whether the monument will be
in brnnze or stone.
