Monsieur and Nine. Demeure could
not suppress a smile at General Melsau's
mistake.
mo, we are discussing a young
woman with whom our son became in
fatuated during the call you made about
three months ago at the house of her
mistress And after declaring his in
tention to marry her when the war is
over, he has said that he will kill HIM
self if we refuse our consent
This time the general smiled He
appreciated the tact with which Nine
Demeure had avoided going into the cir
cumstances which had thrown the two
young people together He recovered
his serenity as soon as he saw that
nothing more was involved than a mere
love affair.
"Ha. Ha, The young woman is
charming She is the godchild of Nine.
des Saloons eville, the daughter of one
of her farmers, with an education much
above her station in life
Still, my dear general, the son of
minister, even though the latter should
be a sincere democrat, as fatter my
self am, cannot marry a soubrette.
Why not? Especially if she has an
irreproachable character Haven't we
seen kings marry shepherdesses 1t is
true that was before the Revolution of
1889. You are astonished, Monsieur lie
Ministre. that plead the cause of your
son.
But from a certain point of view the
national defence has an interest in his
obtaining your consent | will admit to
you that | didn't accept his services as
q chauffeur with any enthusiasm. But
after some days experience I began to
wonder at his sang-froid, his sureness
of hand, and (what won my friendship
most) his GOODNESS under FIRE.
Unfortunately for some weeks past
l have noticed signs of nervousness on
his part-and Of mental distraction.
''Now, although can calmly face the
prospect of having my head some day
blown off by shell, don't care to have
my bones broken by the imprudence or
the loor driving of my chauffeur"
Which amounts to saying, my dear
general, that to safeguard the precious
life of a valiant soldier like yourself
we must yield to our sons wishes?"
Apart from the too iattering refer
ence to me, l couldn't have put it
better
General Melsau rose, perfectly salts
fed with the result of his interview
'Ahp he said, few minutes later,
when he found himself on the street,
all's well that ends we'll That was
what one might call a lucky break.
Nine des Saloons Deville will be even
more astonished than l was to hear
about this marriage And she will laugh
heartily when l tell her about my own
droll mistake

Paris" he cried, jumping into his
auto.
Sure of his chauffeur-a young fell
low of twenty-five whom he had
cepted unwillingly and whom at the
beginning he had treated little slight
ingly because he considered him some
thing of slacker-the general usually
lolled back on the cushions and utilized
the journey to make out a schedule
which could keep him going for at least
two weeks.
But this day things were different.
The business which, on orders from the
commander of the army, was taking him
to the Ministry in Paris could not be
dispatched as quickly as ordinarily. 1t
required waiting around for many hours.
Without letting himself appear so, the
general was furious.
"What am I to do while l am killing
time? Suppose invite myself to break
fast with Nine. des Sablons-Deville?
In her last letter she reproached me
with having forgotten her"
The idea Of spending few minutes
with this excellent lady, the widow Of
one Of his best friends, high function
airy in the Court of Accounts, relieved
his i'll humor He gave an order and the
auto sped swiftly to the Champs
Elysees
"Ahl General. What a pleasant sur
prise, Just this morning I was thinking
of you"
"But you didn't think you would have
me for breakfast? I admit to you in all
frankness that the reason I am here IS
that am held up in meeting an official
appointment.
The general had arrived, as he had
calculated to do, just at the moment
when breakfast was about to be served
He was a brilliant talker, when he
took the trouble to exert himself, and
his biting phrases always delighted his
audience To-day, his i'll humor having
passed, he was in his best vein. Nine.
des Sablons- Deville, who listened to him
with smile, had never seen him show
more dash and charm.
But he stopped short in the midst of
some pleasing anecdote Of the war,

Laws of Twelve Tables

The Twelve Tables was the name
given to the earliest code of Roman
law. According TO the ancient ac-
count, the code originated in this man.
ner: In the year 462 B. c., Roman
tribune brought forward a proposal to
appoint five men to draw up a set of
laws With, the view Of limiting the
power OF me cOnsuls. The aristOcracy,
always furious. selfish and unwise in
their struggles r9ith the common people
of Rome, violently resisted this reform
and for eight years fierce warfare
was carried on between the two orders,
which ended in a sort of partial victory
for the plebeians. In 454 r. G. the
senate assented to the-plan of sending
three commissioners to Greece to re-
port on the laws in force among the
different states there. After q lapse
of two years they returned and it was
then agreed that ten men should be
selected to draw up code. Accord
ing TO Livy and DiOdorus, the laws of
the Twelve Tables were cut on bronze
tablets, whence their name, and put
up in a public place. Whether these
tablets We're destroyed by the Gauls
when they sacked and burned Rome is
uncertain.

Try to Do Something.

The man who is content to initiate
others without ever trying to develop
his own powers is not the man who
may confidently expect the kind of
success that counts, says an educator.
Because a person is convinced that he
Is not genius it does not follow that
he cannot develop marked ability of
a character destined to bring him sure
success provided he has the courage
and the will TO do it. 1t is better by
far to make q serious effort to attain
our ambitions, even if in doing so we
fall below the goal we have set At
least we have done the best we could
and that is something, even though
it is not quite enough to achieve the
desired results. A little more time
devoted to our purpose, Il little eXpe-
rience in the battle fields of life, lit
tie more courage and,p9rseyerance and
Northumberland most of us would
be able to win the success we. coyet,
and to'nlake each hour of each day tell
its own story of faithful effort.

Northern Woods Rations.

Men who, in the course of work or
oastime, spend much time in winter
N the northern wildernesses of Can
ada have practically standardized their
ration, observes the Michigan Senti-
mel. 1t consists of one pound of flour,
one pound of bacon, One-third pound
Of dried fruit and one-third pound of
beans per man per day. There are
variations, to be sure but men of ex-
Derience generally place their reliance
on this simple menu. None of it is
wasted, either. Every scrap of it is
eaten. Such ration, however, would
last city man two days at least.

Fishes Sixth Sense.

How saltwater fish that at certain
periods in their lives migrate to fresh
water always find their way into the
same rivers is made clear by the in
vestigations of two doctors who have
recently been studying the reaction OF
saltwater fish to various conditions of
environment. 1t appears, says a writ
err in Popular Science Monthly, that
herring can detect differences in heat
and cold as small as Il quarter of de-
gree, or less. They also know when
even the slightest trace of acid or al
kali is present in the water. Some
scientists have even proposed that her.
ring and other fish be used to detect
the presence OF chemicals in the wa
ter. just as canaries care used to dis
cover traces of poisonous gas in mines.

are no duplicates in nature. The physi-

causes for differences in the features

Identical way. But there are persons
in whom the difference is so small that
it practically does not exist. And near

ENGLISH LEADERS
 FAVORING LEAGUE
CRv Review Leased Wirel

LONDON, March 19.-in the house of lords today Lord Parmoor moved a resolution approving the principle or the league of nations and the conStitu tion of tribunal whose orders should be enforcible by adequate sanction
 In speaking of this subject Lord Landsdowne said two essentials were requisitesfor a league of nations. The first was that it must be open to all and comprise all the important powers while the second was that it should be armed with executive powers suf- ficient to cure unquestionable Obe- dience to its decisions.
 Lord Lansdowne said he believed that if the league was able to apply pressure in different shapes it could guarantee peace in the civilized world, or at least secure a delay for discus sion and conciliation which would, in many cases, esfectually avoid the threatened dangers. He believed the omens were entirely favorable to the formation of such league, enc of the most hopeful omens being the inter ests taken in the United States with out, whose adhesion, the consumma- tion of the idea would be beyond reach
