AT Frejus, probably
"A beautiful town, well worth
a visit. Permit me to recommend
you, sirs, that you stop at the
Hotel du Midi. The proprietor is
a relative of mine-a nephew, in
fact he will treat you well."
THANK you," responded the
stranger, and at that moment
Madame Brisson entered, flushed
but triumphant, bearing a tray on
which was a small pitcher of very
black coffee, a large pitcher of
very hot milk, a plate Of rolls and
"crescents,'' some pats of but
ter and a jar of honey. She placed
the tray upon the table, greeted
the travellers with the brightest of
smiles, and then, as she fitted
about attending to their wants, NJ.
Brisson retired to his bureau to
put the finishing touches to the
bill.
This was a weighty business. 1t
was not often that the little Hotel
du Nord had the privilege of en-
pertaining guests from America,
and Nj. Brisson was thriftily deter
mined to make the most Of it. The
price of the room, unfortunately,
had been agreed upon in advance;
but there were the meals, and,
above all, the extras-baggage,
lights, attendance, one special
breakfast at five o'clock - one
must be paid for rising in the mid
die of the night bath
had there been a bath? No mat
ter! Wine, cigars-M. Brisson
licked his lips as he put them all
IN. Then he made a mistake of five
francs in the addition, and the
thing was done. He contemplated
it for a moment with satisfaction,
then folded it, slipped it into his
pocket and returned to the
breakfast room.
His guests were just rising from
the table, and a glance.told him
that they had done but scant JUS
tee to the meal-fully half the
rolls remained uneaten! They
were in haste, then; so much the
better. He assisted them to ad-
just their k%napsacks.
And now the bill,'' said one
OF them, taking out his purse.
nj. Brisson presented it with a
bow. The other took it glanced
at the total, and his face flushed.
He opened his lips to speak,
closed them again, and his eyes
ran up the column of figures. The
flush deepened, and he opened his
lips: but when he met Brisson' S
ferret-like gaze, he again closed
them. Without a word, he ex-
traeted from his purse a note for
100 francs and placed it in Bris-
sons hand.
lyon may keep the change" he
said.
"Oh, thanks, sir!" Brisson
Cried and he bowed again to hide
the triumphant smile upon his
lips. Many thanks! A pleasant
journey! And when you come
again to Toulon, remember the
Hotel du Nord!"
The other nodded glumly, and
started for the door, followed by
his companion. Brisson and his
wife accompanied them, again
bade them adieu, and stood for a
moment watching them, as they
went down the street in the direc-
ton of the quays.
"A hundred francs!'' said Mad
anne Brisson, and gazed with
veneration at her lord and mas
ter. But what was your bill,
then, Aristide?"
'Ninety-six francs,'' said Bris-
son, sourly, "and, for a moment, I
thought the swine was going to
protest it!''
IF they had not been Amer
cans, began Madame.

and enthusiastic, in spite OF the hard
ships they have endured. He also
paid high tribute to the relief work
done in Belgium by Americans.

ed that they had given much larger
sums to the Red Cross privately.

A communication from the Fedora
tion OF Citizens Associations asking
all member associations to aid in re.

Memorial Sunday
Catholic Church


Memorial Day! The day of the. soldier
and the patriot is with us. again, and,
what memories il recalls Memories. OF
suffering, of sadness andVof glory.
These very memories strengthen the
confidence OF the Boys OF GIGS in their
Country's future, for did not their
Country triumph over the greatest
dangers.and was not new glory added
to that dear flag? Had not these Boys
in blue rushed into the breach, and
braved these dangers, and sustained
these hardships, we still, probably,
would be a divided nation. Letus
honor those to whom honor Is due.
Memorial Day will be celebrated this
year in st. Joseph's church, and the
annual Memorial address will be given
by Rev. Timothy Kroboth. The mem.
bers Of the G. A. r., w. r. c. and Red
Cross will meet at G. A. r. head
quarters at 500 a. m. They will march
in body to st. Joseph's school from
whence they will be escorted by chill
dren and acolytes to the church, where
services will begin at $50 a. m. The
G. A. R., w. r. C. and Red Cross urge;
all their members to meet promptly and
march, and Father Kroboth cordially
invites all citizens to be present in st.
Joseph's church on Memorial Sunday.

Red Cross Work
Going Fine
Big Parade and Mass Meeting
Held Last Friday.

That the people of our city are alive
to the work of the Red Cross Assn was
evidenced in the big demonstration
held last Friday night in both the parade
on the streets and in the mass meeting
held at Temple Theatre.
The following article clipped from the
Petoskey News, shows what our guests
from the neighboring city thought of
the demonstration.
"Mrs. Homer Sly, Miss M. Louise
Jones and Rev. P. B. Ferris of this city,
were among the speakers Friday even
ing at the Red Cross mass meeting at
East Jordan. Fully twelve hundred
persons attended the meeting and the
society was organized with about one
hundred and sixty members.
EAST Jordan showed her patriotic
spirit with a great demonstration of
loyalty to the Red Cross cause. The
parade just before the meeting was
fully half mile in length. In it were
large number of women in Red Cross
uniforms, fifty girls in white sailor suits
and each carrying an oar, company Of
forty cowboys, large delegation Of
Boy Scouts, high school cadets, Civil
and Spanish war veterans, bands, city
officers, auto ambulances, etc.
"The three cities of Charlevoix coun.
ty-Eaat Jordan, Boyne City and Char
levoix-are bidding for the head
quarters OF the county Red Cross or
ganization, and East Jordan's demon
stration of enthusiasm at Fridays meet
ing should give that city big boost in
the race"
