SAVED THE TOWN.
The Fisherman Lied, Stuck to His
Story and Got a Surprise.

More than two centuries ago, Wnen
an allied English and Dutch fleet un-
der Admiral Russell, approached Les
Saules d'Olonne, on the bay of Biscay,
to lombard it, difficulty arose. The
conformation of the shore partly con-
cealed the settlement behind ridge,
and they did not know how to train
theis guns. But they had captured a
fisi1ing smack in the bay, and Admiral
Russell summoned the fisherman, Dan
iel Fricaud, and ordered him to tell ex-
actly how the town lay and where to
aim in order to destroy its principal
buildings. Fricaud, who appeared to
be a poor, ignorant fellow, very much
frightened, pointed to a pier with a
group of old, rickety buildings. The
admiral was doubtful, but the trem-
bling fisherman assured him that just
beyond and almost exactly in rangh
was the market square, the very heart
of the town.
"Do you understand" asked the ad-
miral sternly, "that if you are telling
me a lie l shall soon find it out and
have you hanged from tie yardarm OF
my ship?"
"T know?" answered the fisherman,
"and if have lied you must hang me.
can only tell you-it is there that you
should aim your guns"
Convinced that the man would not
venture a deception, Admiral Russell
ordered the bombardment to begin. A
little while after shells had begun to
fall behind the screening ridge and
shabby wharf, great columns of smoke
arose, which rapidly increased in vol
ume. 1t seemed that half the place
must be on fire. Only when he thought
its destruction nearly enough accom-
plisaed did the fleet withdraw first
releasing Fricaud and his fishing boat.
The fisherman, amazed and anxious,
hastened to the town to learn what
could possibly have happened, for he
knew well that in the quarter that had
been shelled there were only a few
worthless sheds and storenouses. That
was why, at the risk of his neck he
had pointed it out. Never for a mo-
ment had he thought of aiding the
enemy to destroy mis- native place, and
he had fully expected to pay the PEN
atty. What could the smoke be?
It proved that the inhabitants had
practiced a clever ruse. Seeing that
the shells were falling where they did
the least harm, they had built huge
bondfres to convey the impression OF
confagration. The trick had prob
ably saved the town. 1t had certainly
saved a brave fisherman from being
hanged.-Youth's Companion.

CIGARS AND BLUE EYES.
When Pretty Girl Took Charge Trade
Became Very Brisk.
IndianapoliS News.

Indianapolis News.
A gray-haired man who wore skull
cap had operated the cigar and news
stand for years. An air of quiet and
peace, sometimes the ominous fore
runner of commercial disaster, had
lately hung over the place.
One day there was a change. Even
from across the street it could be dis
cerned that metamorphosis mad
taken place. An air of brightness and
business surrounded tie old news
stand. On closer investigation it was
found that the outside had been re-
painted and an attractive window dis
play arranged. A new name had been
painted in gold letters across the Win
dow. And just outside the door stood
the new proprietor. She was vision
in a light blue, carefully tailored dress,
big blue eyes and mop of blonde hair
arranged in an intricate but extremely
attractive pattern. A bystander con-
tinued to gaze surreptitiously at the
apparition under the pretense of look
ing at some magazines fastened in the
window. When the vision started to-
ward MIN he was too startled to re-
treat. The door opened and soft
voice inquired it he would not come in
and look at the better things that were
on display inside. He went in, al
though he wanted neither magazines
nor cigars. Inside there was an un-
wonted air of order and business. Un-
der the spell of the blue eyes and the
blonde hair the man bought two two
for-a-Quarter cigars, although he had
always found five-cent ones perfectly
satisfactory before, and thirty-five
cent magazine that he had never seen
before and in which he was not at all
interested.
Soon others discovered new inter-
est in cigars and magazines. Busine IS
grew better with each day. A group OF
young fellows who spent money as
we'll as talked constantly about the
place, and it's presiding genius served
all with impartia1ity. Business was
good. Another chapter, Ihowever, re-
mained to be added to story which
properly should end here. The young
woman proprietor was missing one
day and a young man was in her place.
He was one of the young men who had
hung most faithfully about the place
for some time preceding. He seems
now to be permanent fxure at the old
stand. Occasionally hAe young woman alP1iIn

Drink Scenes in Movies.

The Liberal Advocate, a journal de-
voted to promoting the liquor inter
ests, comes out in an editorial against
the drinking scenes in moving pic
lures on the ground that such scenes
on the screen arouse the prejudice
of 0coughtless and weak-minded peo-
pie against the liquor interests and
particularly against the saloon.
"The moving picture show has be-
come a powerful factor in arousing
he prejudice ef thoughtless and weak
minded people against the liquor IN
terests, and particularly against the
saloon" it says,
"Eao-,: day thousands of these films
are portrayed to millions of men, wo-
men and children in every part of
The country, and those who know bet
ter, soon become imbued with the
belief tla. liquor is only manufacture
ed and saloons established for the
purpose of increasing lawlessnes and
crime"
In the last issue of TIE Moving
Picture World the objection of the
liquor organ is noted and comment is
made upon the fact that many total
abstainers also object to these scenes
on the ground that they might en-
courage some to drink alcoholic
drinks. Answering these objections
the Moving Picture World says:
"The, answer to all these objections
is easy. Among the thousands of films
produced and published there may
nave been some which obtruded
drinking scenes These were the ex-
ceptions. The fact is that the por-
trayal of drinking scenes forms an un-
avoidable incident in the portrayal of
life. The motion picture as a means
of social propaganda is one thing
while the motion picture as mems
of entertainment is quite another
thing. The screen is open to all ad-
Hocates of abstinence and it is equal
ly open to the opponents of it, ex-
actly as the columns of the newspaper
or the lecture platform. Where the
screen is used as a mirror to be held
up to life, whether past or present, it
is impossible to entirly avoid the
appearance of drinking scenes Not
all drinking scenes are Objectionable
in themselves. There were drinking
scenes at the wedding of Canan where
water is reported 70 have been chang
ed into wine. In many portions OF
the far East the partaking of wine
was considered an essential rite in
tie ceremony which welcomed the
guest and the stranger. In certain
parts of Europe, the drinking of light
beverages at social occasions is con-
sidered harmless. On the other hand,
it is but too true that criminals often
seek the courage for their crimes in
drink, and it is no less true that al
cohol has been and still is a fruitful
source of poverty and that it IS OFTEN
destructive to the minds and the heSag
