"1 happened to go at 1 o'clock to | Worth's, In the Rue de la Paix, and, finding the street barred, 1 left my coupe in the Rue des Petit Champs, {telling Louis (my coaghman) to wait for me in the Rue St. Arnaud (Just "behind the Rue de Ia Paix), and I "walked to No, 7. | "I wondered why there wets so few people io the street. The Place Ven- dome Was barricaded with paving stones, and cannons were pointing down the Rue de ia Paix. 1 walked quietly along to Worth's, gnd hardly had I reached his salon than we heard distant, confused sounds, and then the shouting in the street below made us all rush to the windows. "What a sight met our eyes! "This handsome young fellow De Pene, his hat in his outstretched hand, followed by a crowd of men, women and children, looked the pictave of life, health' and ecthusiasm. "The crowd bore banners on which were written 'Les Amis du Peuple,' 'Amis de I'Ordre; 'Pour la Paix' and one with 'Nous ne sommes pas armes.' "One can't imagine the borror we felt when we heard the roar of a can- non and looking down saw the street filled with smoke and frightened screams and terrified groans reached our ears. Some one dragged me in- side the window and shut it down to drown the borrible noise outside. De Pene was the first who was killed, The street was filled with dead and wounded. "1 felt tersibly agitated and, pore over, deathly sick. My one thpught was to reach my carriage and get' home as quickly as possible. But how was 1 to accomplish it? The Rue de la Paix was, of course, impossible. 'Worth had a courtyard, but np outlet into the Rue St. Arnaud. He suggest. ed that I should go through his ate- liers, which he had at the top of the bouse, and reach an adjoining apart. ment, from which I might descend to the Rue St. Arnaud. .where I would find my carriage. He told one of his women to lead the way, and I follow- el We tolled up many flights of wearisome steps until we arrived at the above mentioned ateliers. These communicated with apother apart ment, of which Worth's woman bad the key. On her opening the door we found ourselves Tn a small bedroom (not in the tidiest condition), seeming to have just been occupied. We pass ed through this room and came out to a staircase, where the demoiselle said, 'You have ouly to go down here "When atdast I came to the porte: cochere 1 found ft closed and locked, pot open for me.

An Amusing incident of Old Time Po- litical Campaigning. An i{lustration of early campaignlog fn Illinois shows the good feeling and the disposition to let tue best man win that often prevailed. James G. Robinson and Richard Oglesby, afterward governor, were op- ponents for the office of state sepator. The settlements in those days were scattering, and as the rivals were good friends they agreed to go together and hold joint "discussions. The under- standing was that if either desired to talk gnywhere else apart from the joint onl be bad a perfect right to do so. At one place Robinson announced that he would make a speech in the courthouse. A large crowd greeted him. Oglesby was sitting in front of the hotel across the way and became uneasy lest Robinson should get some votes away from him. It happened that Oglesby could play the violin well. A man came along with one under his arm, and Ogleshy asked if he might borrow it for the evening. The man consented, and Oglesby commenced playing in order to draw the crowd away from Robinson's meeting. - He succeeded. One by one the men came out of the courthouse, and when Oglesby swung into a lively dance measure the crowd responded with an fmpromptu "hoe down." Robinson, seeing his audiénce dwin- dling, stopped speaking and came out himself. Taking in the situation at a glance, he pulled off his shoes and be- came the most enthusiastic participant, dancing first with one and then with another of his late hearers, The crowd was delighted. and Robinson had the satisfaction of completely 'turning the tables on his adroit opponent.--Shelby M. Cullom in "Fifty Years of Public Service." PIE IS GOOD FOOD. Even if the Paste Is Soggy, Chewing will Kill its Terrors. "In Hts proper place," says the New York Medical Journal, "pie 18 not only a palatable but a nutriticus staple, an excellent vehicle of carbohydrates and fruit. It is not essentially indigestible and demands ouly proper mastication and insalivation to insure lack of dis comfort." In other words, if we chew pie as persistently as we chew the rag about the Indigestibility of ple we shall find it as sweetly digestible as it is blandly delectable. "Pile crust," this authority goes on to say, "is only flour and lard, the latter being replaced usually by chicken fat by thote who object to any form of pork. Delicacy of manipulation is re quired in the making of the erust, and such delicacy depends paradoxically upon great digital strength, for only the strong have a genuine lightness of touch." Thus is explained the armor plate crust so often the product of the deft but weak "manipulation" of slender, pretty and youthful brides as compared with the flaky; sea foamy kind turned loose by older and stiffer fingered mothers. But wait a moment. We can eat and even live in comfort upon our sweet girl graduates' pies after all, for the paper contipues, "A Soggy paste, however, made by frail fingers. is only aesthetically objectionable, for tesclute chewing will deprive It of its terrors." Now, however, comes the crux of the pie matter. We customarily "top off" with ple and cheese after we've had a hearty dinner and enough, but it we eat lightly and then have ple or make ple and cheese answer for a whole meal, there is not the slightest il effect from it. : wily Giving Impressively. There are diversities of giving as well as of gifts. To give a little with a grand air sometimes seems to make more of an impression than to give much modestly. ~The world has not changed in this respect. Samuel Pepys wrote in his "Diary" in 1660: "There was a great number of merchants and others of good quality (at a dinner) on purpose to make an offering (to two pewly married servants), which when dinner was done we did, and I did give 10 shillings and no mage, though I be- lieve most of the rest did 'give more and did believe that I did so too." -------- TR Advice to Bores. | A successful after dinver speaker sald: "I owe my success to the fact that Pm always brief and to the point. 1 once asked Senator Depew how loag NOVEMBER 15, 1018, ™ -------------------------- | your honor lodg' be able, but seldom Amaryflis, Back where dandelions grow Lives my Amaryills.
