Frenchman’s Bright Answer to Ques- tion Appealed to Revolution- ary Tribunal, The French author, Mln‘lnvflh‘ who began his career toward the close of the last century, was a royalist,"and did not hesitate to attack the Fremch revolution and its authorities. Pres- ently, of course, he was summoned to appear before the revolutionary tribunal, with the terrible Fouquier at its head. The revolutionary tribunals at that time did not hesitate to send everybody to the guillotine who had ventured to attack them. Martainville expécted to go with the rest of the victims. “What is your name?” asked the revolutionary judge. “Martain- ville,” said the young author. ‘“Mar- tainville!” exclaimed the judge; “you are deceiving us and trylng to hide your rank. You are an aristocrat, and your name is De Martainville.” “Cit- izen President!” exclaimed the young man, “I am here to be shortened, not to be lengthenmed! Leave me my name!” A true Frenchman loves a wit- ticisic above all thinge, and the tribunal was so much pleased by Mar- tainville’'s grim response that it “Tiow much are these shoes? asked the lady who had the reputation of be- had something of a reputation, too, “we're giving them away with every pair of shoe laces at $3.50.”—Judge.

The wedding day of Lieingston and Lady Dundee was fraught with bad omens. The bridegroom gave the bride a ring inserfbed, “Yours Till Death,” but the ring was lost befere the day was over, and the vengeful old Lady Dundee sent as her wedding gift a nightcap, a pair of White gloves and a rope, all these articles typical of a condemned murderer. - In Octoper, 1896, it seemed as though the unBapgy fate so desired by Lady Dundee feil on her daughter- in-law, who died at Utrecht through a terrible accident. She, her infant son, and her maid were crusted to death tbrough the rodt falling in, her hus- band being rescued with great diffi- culty.
