Guard Obeyed Orders.

Many stories are told Of the Swiss
mercenaries in the service of France.
As NJ Edmund d'Auvergne says, they
used to play in French humor the part
assigned to the Irishman in ours. A
Swiss captain, ordered to bury tho
dead after an engagement, went at it
SO thoroughly that he was burying the
living with them. When this was
pointed out to him, he replied: AS
TO that, if you listen to these bodies
they would have you believe there
isn't a dead man among them" A
Swiss guard had orders to allow no
body to enter the Tuileries from the
street. You can't enter" he said to
a citizen who replied. Il don't want
to enter; wish 10 leave this street. :"

OLD QUESTION TO THE FRONT

a Puzzle as Ever.

A Partisan woman ran up bill in
one year amounting to S2,75e for
dresses and furs. Her husband was
sued. He stated that his fat cost him
$500 q year. therefore credit to his
wife tor over $4,000 was unreason-
able. The court decided that mar
ried woman cannot spend in dress
more than the amount of the rent
paid for the joint home OF husband
and wife without laying herself open
TO charge of extravaganza and the
court reduced the bill to $500 There
is q saying that tha rent should not
exceed one-fourth of the income)
The scene now opens in the court
Of chancery, Jersey City. Vice Chan
cellor Garrison stated there that the
