LANDLORD ENJOYS THE Joke
Friend of Tenants in French Capital
Finds Himself in Something of
Dilemma.

For once that French public bene-
factor known as Cochou,- who cham
pions poor families who cannot find
lodgings, has reckoned without his
host. Whenever a tenant has trouble
with his landlord and desires to put
him to inconvenience he sends for
Cochon. The latter is always ready
to get even with landlords, and eager

receives.

Manufactures was at loggerheads with
his landlord and obtained the break
ing of his lease for a fiat in the
Boulevard de Strasburg. Before clear
ing out he thought he would like lit
tie fun at the landlords expense.
A message was sent to the tndis-
pensable Cochon, the erstwhile sec
rotary of the Tenants league and the
founder Of a similar institution. Cochon
sent the student three families, each
consisting of four children. The fami-
lies did not enjoy their new quarters
long, for the landlord obtained an or

The evicted families now look to
Cochon to find new quarters for n9m.
Cochon does not know where he can

buy a quarter section OF railway land

proportionate profits and he gradually
