This story comes straight from Mor- laix, a very modern place in Brittany. Our Romeo, like Chaucer's hero, was caught In the chimney. He was go- ing to his sweetheart, instead of run- ning away from her. The pretty Juliette was a distance of some seven miles from his home. The enamored Romeo tramped it on foot all that distance. At night he reached the house, and called, but got no answer. As the door was shut he decided to try the roof. On the roof he found the chimney, and it seemed to him | that was quite wide enough to let him down. He descended for some dis- tance, but then, as he came near the fireplace, the chimney harrowed. He slipped and got In a narrow neck. Here he was caught, unable to move up or down. Before long he felt a suffocating sensation. 1f the thing lasted much longer it would be the end of him. He could stand it no more. After groaning he yelled, and - he bellowed so well that not only was his sweetheart disturbed in her slum- bers, but the whole village was ex- cited. Whe nearest chimney-sweep was called, but he could not help him out. The gendarmes woke up the mayor, and he, with all the motables of the place, went to look. They consulted among them, and the only way to liberate the captive lover was to pull down part of the chimney. This was done by some masons, and he was presently released, but before being allowed his freedom a police report was drawn up, with a view to inflict- Ing a series of fines for breaking into & private inclosure, damaging other people's property, waking up the au- thorities unnecessarily, and causing & public scandal. Poor Romeo was very sad when it was all over.—Paris Cor- respondence, London Telegraph. KIND PEASANTS OF BRITTANY WIIl Willingly 8hare With You Con- tents of Cupboard and WIII Not Ask for Pay. In Brittany all peasants carry their own knives; and as for forks, they have no use for them. George Whar- ton Edwards tells, in “Brittany and the Bretons,” of a visit' to an imnn where he met with the proverbial Breton hospitality. An old withered Breton woman sat at the fireside, busily knitting at & Jersey of blue wool, and three men sat at a table, playing some sort of game with dominoes. The men gave no apparent heed to our entrance, but I knew we were be- ing discussed in their patols. We asked for bread, butter and & pitcher of cider, which was forth- coming, but no kmves were brought. Noting our predicament, the three men at once produced their knives, immense horn-handted affairs, and aft- er wiping them very carefully and considerately on their coat sleeves, they opened and proffered them to us. “And now, madame,” sald I, “what shall T pay you?” “Flve sous for the cider, m’sieur. There i8 no charge for the bread, for is not that the gift of bon Dieu?” Thus it is throughout this strange land of Brittany. One may travel from end to end away from the large cities, and everywhere meet with the same hospitality, The peasant will willingly share with you what he has in the cupboard, and will not ask for pay. I left ‘an oftering of silver upon the ‘window sill among the balls of wool- en yarn, 83 and 75 on a Lark. Mr. and Mrs. James Stead Biddell came into New York from their home in Passale, N. J., yesterday to cele- brate the fifty-fourth anniversary of their marriage. “We always go for a lark on our wedding anniversary,” laughed Mr. Biddell in their home last night. “We've never missed it.” Mrs. Biddell stood close to her hus- band and it was plain they were still sweethearts. As he talked she tcok his hand. “We've always been happy,” he gaid. “We mnever had a single quarrel.” Then they laughed. Mr. Biddell is eighty-three and his wife seventy-five. They were married in Flushing, L. I, but moved to Pas- salc half a century ago, when it was a smal village. They look much younger than they are. He retired from business 16 years sgo.—New York Telegraph, TEST OF TRUE HOSPITALITY Army Ofticer Tells of His In Cooking and Conduct Host. The old army oficer, distinguished allke for his character and his high position, had sald to his fellow guests at the little mountain camp that he re- garded a kaowledge of cooking as a necessary accomplishment for a gen- tleman and a soldier. “Let me tell you,” he continued, “where I recelved my first and best lesson in cooking, and in conduct lt the head of the table. “While I was yet a very young man I had the good fortune to attract the notice of an old French gentleman who, with the remnant of his for- mer large fortune, had come to the neighborhood of Petersburg, Virginia, and established himself in a small cot- tage. “In this little home the dining-room and kitchen were separated by a par- titlon that extended only five feet above the floor. As monsieur was too poor to afford a waiter or cook, he himself performed the duties of both. “He often honored me with an in- vitation to diner, and as I sat in the dining-room, waiting for the meal to be served, I could see the old gentle- man’'s head bobbing up and down as he tended his stew-pans in the kitch- en.” “How awfully funny!” sald” one, with a giggle. | “It never seemed in the least Iu- | dicrous to me,” the old officer quietly responded. “After placing the dishes upon the table, my old friend would | remove his apron, put on a rusty dress some his house with the grace and dignity of a prince.” “I understood! Noblesse oblige, and all that sort of thing,” murmured the giggler, contritely. “All the same, your old gentleman, ministering at hidden altars and practicing mysteri- ous rites behind that low partition, must have been something of a char- acter.”” The old officer gravely assented “One that it was a privilege to know,” he sald.—Youth’s Companion. VICTOR HUGO’S ACACIA TREE Planted In Childhood by Author, It Has Just Been Saved From De- { struction in Paris. An acacia tree, supposed to have been planted by Victor Hugo in his childhood has just been saved from de- struction in Paris. The tree stands in the Boulevard Raspail, and its tall, curved trunk has long been familiar to the inhabitants of that quarter. A ghort time ago a certain M. Charuin bought the plot upon which it grew for the purpose of erecting a mansion. The whole quarter was disturbed at the news that a tree of such traditions was about to disappear. that his new mansion was likely to de- molish the object of a veneration with which he sympathized, he altered his architectural plans spontaneously, and built a semi-circular frontage to his house, just inclosing the acacia within the railings. The association of it with Victor Hugo {s disputed by authorities on that poet's life, but one may feel gratified that a tradition retains sucl vigorous life and that the marking of places connected with famous men I8 not yet purely municipal in Paris. Gift for Business. ‘Willie's father conducts a boatrent- Ing business on the Jersey side of the Hudson. , “I'll give you adollarif youwll bail out the boats, Willle,” sald the father one morning after a rain.- There were 25 boats and Willie wasn't keen. So he was non-commit- tal. A little later his friend Albert came over. “I'll give you a quarter if you'll bufl out the boats” sald Willle to Al bert. “Gee! turned Albert as he surveyed the fleet of rowboats. “It's worth 35 cents, any- way.” | “Well, all right, 35 then,” said Wil- | e, | Albert got busy and did the balling, { while Willie looked on and, Tom Saw- yer-like, dossed the job. The work done, Willle collected, pald Albert and pocketed 65 cents. “That boy'll be a business man,” re- marked the father to Willie’s mother later, but not in the boy's hearing.— New York Herald. Large Enterprises Essential. £ “Large personal fortunes acquired leglitimately are in themselves an hon- orable testimony to talent and to toll; and, without large aggregations of capital, whether personal or cor- porate, great enterprises, are not pos- sible. And without great enterprises will the country show the marvelous growth which we deem an essential characteristic of American life, and will the masses of the people have the opportuuities now so abundantly set before them to find employment and to develop their ‘own fortunes, however relatively small those may be?”"—Archbishop Ireland. Something Missing. Life guards at a Jersey seaside re- sort tell with great glee of an incident that happened there last summer. A German, with his boy of ten, was standing at the rail of one of the plers, quite at the end thereof, when sudden- ly the youngster toppled through into the water. As no life guards were out that-far at the time a well dressed young collegian on' the pler, without walting to divest himself of .shoes or clothing, jumped In and after battling. with the Wwaves for some minutes got the half-drowned boy to the beach. Tn Ibe meantime the father had hastened from the pler. \ The parent, however, bore himself with great coolness.

BURNED JUDAS IN EFFlaY In That Way the Guides 8howed Thelr Love for the Christian Religion, & ‘We hanged Judas Iscarlot today. aving expressed our joy over the res- urrection of Christ by gorging our selves with roast Jamb and bitter ‘wine, by firing guns, reckets and tor- DPedoes and by lighting bonfires, we gave vent to our remaining enthusi- asm in one grand burst of mock ven- geance ‘directed against the unfortu- nate mortal who was destined from the foundation of the world to figure as a cat’s paw in the plan of galvation. The burning took place in the front of a little church of the Virgin, sit- uated on the highest part of the city. From a pole erected before the door hung a crude, wreiched, melancholy figure stuffed with straw, and ridicu- lously suggesting the image of a man. ‘Within the church the priest was con- ducting the regular Sunday service. At last the doors were thrown wide open and the whole congregatinn gushed forth like water from a broken dam, and immediately thereafter ev- ery man and boy in the square was shooting away at the effigy. Poor Ju- das whirled about and danced in the alr as the bullets peppered him, and suddenly burst into flames., When & Greek feels particularly happy, or wishes to express his enthusiasm he produces an old musket or pistol and dfscharges it.

Bingleton Discovers a New Situa- tion With Danger From Street Beggars. “For a long time,” said Mr. Bingle- ton, “I have made it a custom to look carefully in either direction before s.opping to look in at a show window, doing this to avold being taken by @atprise by beggars. Now I have dis- covered another street situation in Wiich one must take like care. “Walking along the street this morn- fng I became conscious that one of my shoestrings was untied and I l6uked along for a convenient store step on which I could put my foot up; and there I did pat it up, and I was busily - engaged in tying the string, working away at it with no other thought in the world, when— “‘Mister,’ 1 heard a voice at my ear, ‘can you give me five cents to get & cup of coffee? I haven’t had—" “And there he stood _beside me, clase alongside, where he had me at a digadvantage. He was within my guard, and I gave up, not because I thuught I ought to, but because of my inward appreclation of the work of a man who evidently was always on the jon, ever alert and letting no chance escape him.” Walnuts High In Food Value. ‘The food value of walnuts is very high. They are very rich in fat, con- taining as much as 63 per cent, while ¥ proteins amount to nearly 15 per cent. It has been calculated that 30 large walnut kernels contain as much fai tas 2% pounds of lean beef, and Yeu the walnut is used as a supple- ment to a square meal. Added to this the glass of port, say two fluld Ounces, contains besides 180 grains of alcohol, 70 grains of grape sugar. In tie combination, therefore, we have ali the elements which make for a complete diet—viz.: Fat, protein, car- bohydrate, to which may be added migeral salts. Port and walnuts after & meal are therefore, from a nutritive point of view, “ridiculous excess,” and may lead to digestiye disturbance, Both walnuts and port wine contain tennin, which is unsuited to some con- ettutions. CHINAMAN WAE_TOO CUTE Suspicious of Weddlng Cake Sent Him | maki by Englishman Who Owed Him Money.

After the honeymoon, one of the first persons the newly wedded hus band met was his Gelestial creditor. “And how did you like the cake?” sald the Englishrran, laughing, after the usual congratulations. “Ah, ah,” returmed the Chinaman, ‘with a cunning leer, “me no such big fool to eat him, sah. Me put cakee in fire. Burn him up. He, he!” X “Oh, that’s too bad,” said the Eng lishman, very mucl’, hurt. “You might have tasted it, at least, out of com- pliment to my wife and myself.

'Ihe Mitsul family of Japan have been called the Rothschilds - of the East; but while the fame of the lat. ter has gone abroad over the world, says the Atlantic Monthly, the Mit. suls. have remained practically un- known except to a few western mer- chants who have had extensive deal- imgs with the Orlent. The European family owes its great renown to the fact that for a century there has been no slightest stain -up- on is commercfal honor. But its ca- reer, it should be remembered, has been passed in a world where busf ness itself has been held in honor; while the Mitsuis, engaged in a pur- sult utterly condemned by public sen- timent, for three centuries, in spite of the demoralizing influence of the so- cial ban, have been trusted by govern- ment and people alike and have kept the honor of their name unstained. Now, thanks to the new spirit ani- mating the nation, they no longer stand so conspicuously alone. Other great commercial families are being ranged with this one, their mem- bers not onmly enrolled among the peers of the realm, but ranking with the merchant princes of the west as exponents of all that is honorable in the conduct of mercantile affairs. To their number are yearly belng added many of the Samirai, or nightly chiv- alry of old, who ‘once scorned all con- | tact with trade, but who are now re- turning to bring to the rescue of their country the ‘fine gense of honor- in which they were. educated under the ancient regime. That they will even- tually succeed in their task, backed as they are by the instinct of common honesty pervading the rank and file, there can be no manner of doubt. CHEETAH. HUNT IN INDIA Sport Was 'Once Very Popular With English. Residents—Is Not Rare Beast. ' ‘The cheetah hunt which the vice roy witnessed recently at Hyderbad reminds one that cheetah hunting wae an extremely popular sport with In~ dian princes in foimer days, although the initiation of European forms ot sport has done mueh in these times| to rob it of anctent vogue. It was practiced both by Hindu and Mohammedan chieftains over the greater part of India, for the cheetah even now is not a rare beast, and a century or so ‘ago must have been common enough: Another animal used in the same way by Indian nobles was a sort of Iynx, spelled variously as “shoe- goose,” “syahgush.” But this was used much more rarely than the chee- tah. However, it was not only In- diang who indulged in this form of sport. It was enjoyed and practiced by Europeans. as.well in. the days when they were content to abide in India for fifteen years at'a stretch and ‘When they lived:a I'Indienne in a way unknown to modern times: More than one of -the Company’s nabobs kept their own cheetahs, which ‘were fre. quently presents from friendly chiefs. It may easlly be imagined that chee tah hunting was very good sport and welcomed by the servants of the Company as an excellent substitute for the coursing which was familiar to them in England and which, like the cheetah hunt, has vanished be- fore the spread of games such as ten- nis and golf.—Madras Mail. Origin of the Stocking. A writer in a French newspaper has been Investigating the origin of stock- ings. It appears that Henry II. when preparing for the marriage of his sis- ter in 1659 first conceived the idea.of silk hose, and was the first to wear silk knitted stockings at that epoch- nf event. ‘A hundred years later one Hindres established a factory for stockings in the Bols de Boulogne. This was the first hoslery factory in France. It was;a success at the start, and, when it received protection from the then ministers, it was a kind of gold mine. In 1663 the.venture was turned into a company. From it arose “the Soclety of Silk Stocking Makers.” £ HEARD IN BEMIDJI Bad Backs Made Strong—Kidney Ills Corrected. All over Bemidji you hear it.
