SAVED BY QUICK WIT.
A Reply That Won Napoleon and the
Duke of Modena.

Duke of Modena.
In the French campaign In Italy, In
which Napoleon I. first began to win
the laurels which subsequently 80
abundantly crowned his career, q
young Italian cavalry officer was tax
Ell prisoner.
Having serious doubts about his
safety, it occurred to the prisoner to
pretend he was great parsonage. So
he promised rewards to his captors II
they would insure his good treatment.
adding confidentially that he was the
Duke of Modena.
He was exceedingly well cared for.
and early next morning he was called
before Napoleon, who was somewhat
puzzled at finding two Dukes of Mo
dena among his prisoners. for the real
duke was also prisoner. The real
duke angrily asked his counterfeit by
what authority he had assumed the
title Of Duke Of Modena. The young
officer answered:
Your grace, the peril OF my situa-
ton yesterday was such that had l
known more illustrious title 1 would
not have assumed yours"
The reply so pleased both the duke
and Napoleon that he was forgiven his
deceit

THE TOMB OF JONAH.

The site of Nineveh is almost per-
Rectly level But adjoining the western
wall are two huge mounds concealing
the palaces Of the greatest kings of
AsSyria. The lower or southern mound
Ia occupied by a mosque and village
Of considerable size. It's name is Nebi
Yunus, or the Prophet Jonah, for In
the mosque is the tomb in which Jonah
Is said to have been buried The age
OF the tomb is uncertain. yet probably
1t dates from long after the Hebrew
prophets time. However, the place is
now sacred. so sacred that pilgrims

rode up the steep, narrow streets
OF the village to the mosque, and, to
the amaZement Of the natives, l dis
mounted and entered the mosque yard.
A crowd OF excited men quickly sur
rounded me. To @ priest explained
that / had come to see the grave Of
Jonah, and with motion Of the hand
I made 1t understood that he would be
rewarded. Removing my shoes 1 fol-
lowed the priest through a dark pas
sageway. There he pointed to a wall
and said that the tomb was just be-
yond. i wished to enter the prayer
room from which the tomb itself might
be seen. but the place was considered
far too sacred for my profane feet.
However, the few Christians who
have been permitted to see the tomb
may look only through small window
into dark chamber In which a cloth
covered mound is scarcely discernible.
1t Is said that no Moslem even will
enter the inner Bhrine.--C Christian Her.
