The directors were charged with alding him in this, but after a bitter bile the slated board of directors were elected" nod the official coterie “James Carrothers, one of the minor stockholders, led the opponents of .

The incident grew out of the report of the company, Mr Carrothers called attention to the as- sets, In which was stocks sud bonds of the Lackawanns and Wyoming Valley Rapid Transit company $6.500.000 Mr Carrothers wanted to know how much was stock asl bow much bonds There was a hot discussion, snd it developed that the capital stock of the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Rapid Transit company ls $3,000 000 And that the road cost about $6000 pn) No one was sure that these figures were correct, aid there was wore or less con fusion.

Bowins) The bourgeois of Paris, like every bourgeois, has his Suuday tie and his Sunday coat: his wife has her Sunday bonnet; bis daughters have each a8 when they have donned thelr faery the bourgeols and buurgeoise are en dimanches ” Hence follows this ad- vantage: No one, seeing them, can be dublous as to the day, the heliotrope puts an end to all perplexity instant ly you can safely wager, you may swear, even If you have Leen an In- valld for months or a traveler for years, even if you have lost all count of time, that it Is Sunday But in the village of Sannols, the few hundred inhabitants are “endl manches” three times a week, oD Wednesdays and Saturdays as well as Sundays. The Wednesday and Satur day finery Is the same as the Sunday finery, not a trinket has been held over: and if the church belis do not summon the villagers to High Mass on those common days, other bells from ‘he cobbled square call them merrily to the market Moreover, the aristocracy of Sannols (a petite bourgeoisie that has retired and ralsed six-rcomed villas after 30 years’ ecopomies) has also dressed Still, one incongruity is poticeable Each person carries a basket, not a fancy thing, not the little pannler into which the heroine of a melodrama packs fresh eggs and honeysuc kle, but a stout basket, a veritable market bas- ket. All foods are stored in it, enough food to last from Saturday until Wednesday As Sannofs holds its bi-weekly “cob versazione —for this it is—the basket becomes laden, heavy The villagers at last dispersing, cheerfully bear off their burdens: but the aristocrats seek an idler, 1 ne'er-do-well (Sannols has many ne'er-do wells) to carry the bas %ets to the six-roomed vilias In ex- change for sous. A dozen ldlers pre gent themselves and are engaged Most of them are scrubby, clumsy, bul the readiest, the most agile of them all, I= Jacquon le Follet,” as they call him, as he likes to be shock-headed, with tow-colored halr Hight, restless eyvs, a loose mouth, a lean face: the lank figure of a boy of 17. the brain of a child of seven but in reality—so the villagers affirm —-30 years of age or more He is hailed as Jaequon, and he laughs. He laughs again as he takes the basket and as he raises It, and when he rests it on his shoulders He laughs stu pidly, and his mouth twitches when be laughs No one feared Jacquon le Follet when we encountered him on the mar- ket place some months ago “He 1s insane,” Sannals admitted, “but pever harms anyone. He only laughs—laughs continually” And It was true—Jacquon laughed continually; but his laughter was so familiar that the villagers did uot even shudder when it rang out sud- deunly, eerily, at night “Jacquoun is returning from the sta- tion” was all they sald; for Jacquon was hired sometimes by the Sannols aristocrats to light them with his lan- tern to the statdon; or to light them home, as the way was rough and dark. They trusted Jacquon; and yet he was an uncanny spectacle in the moon- light, with his lantern and his laugh Often he wandered abroad all night, and the garde champetre described pow he, on more than one occasion, had come suddenly upon Jacquon, laughing at the windmill—"but laugh- ing, mon cher! —Iin spite of the mud and the mist. The “garde champetre” iso trusted Jacquon; trupted him 80 implicitly that he allowed him Lo carry a knife—a long, sharp knife with which he dug out mushrooms and fashioned sticks. Sannols, in fact, was kind to Jac- quon; but his parents rarely humored him They. the hardest workers iu the village, the healthiest and the strong est. farmed, grew vines; It crossed them to see Jacquoir incompetent and palf-witted. Constantly and altogeth er they tolled, father, mother and two stalwart sons And they scarcely spoke to Jacquon; while Jacquon never poke to them He ate his meals in silence, whereas they reviewed the ja- pors of the day; and they never asked, Where is Jacqguon? Never inquired, What have you been doing, Jacquon’ Never gave him his beloved title, Jacguon le Follet. Consequently Jae- quot stunned the farm: and, out of revenge, a! no time brought mushrooms for the table, but present- ed them instead to the garde cham- petre for his, and to the villagers for theirs Ihe ne'er-do-wells (who hated Jac quon’s parents because, sober folk, they spent none of their earnings at the wine sciler's zinc counter), loved to make Jacguon tipsy «hen to chaff him about his father. When Lhe oe’er-do- wells themselves were tipsy, thelr called Hut one wintry aflernood, wi roads were frozen, Jacquon sMpped and fell, striking his head againsl A stone. A neighbor found him situng by the wayside, dazed, with blood trickling down from the cut above his face He took him by the arm. led him home; the mother opened the door 0 them And when she saw Jacquon blood- stained and bewildered, with a umid doudt of her in his Bright eyes, some thing of a buried affection awoke in her. She was kind. She pressed the neighbor to enter. She put her arm round Jaeguon. she led him to her rouom; she bathed the cut, made him ile down on her own bed; then, kneel ing beside him she stroked his shock of halr and murmured “My poor Jacquon My poor boy, Jacquon My poor, poor, Jacquon!” And Jacquun, amazed, felt a tear fall upon his brow. And Jacquon did mot laugh Nor did he laugh when, after steaith- fly escaping from the house whilst his mother was preparing the evening meal, he entered the wineshop a few hours later The ne'er-do-wells, greeting him As usual, gave him beer; and Jacquon drank several glasses but he did pot clap his hands nor pod his head, wor laugh when the jesting at his family's expense ULegan More beer was called for, but it had po exhilarating effect on Jacquon Al last he was told that "he was proud to-night; that this was wrong. He had no right to be proud, no rea- sou. Did Jacquon know. who his mother was? What she was?™ At that moment Jacquon rose stu. pldly and, standing upright, appeared as though he were listening to some- thing. His mouth twitched; perhaps the words: “My poor Jacquon, my poor boy, Jacquon!” recurred to him He put his hand to his forehead; perhaps he was seeking the spot where his mother's tears had fallen But suddenly, “whiist he was then musing, the fire kindled.” With eyes aflame and a furious shout, Jacquon sprang upon the man who had insulted his mother, and, drawing out his knife, before the oth- SPRANG UPON THE MAN WHO HAD INSULTED HIS MOTHER." ers could prevent him, stabbed him to the heart Then, for the first time that night, Jaequon laughed — laughed, and laughed and laughed. And now, on market days, the ne'er-do-wells alone remain to carry home the baskets of the Sannols aris- tocracy: now, on dark nights, no one sces the flush of Jacquon le Follet's lantern or bears his laugh ring out suddenly, eerily, on the road between the village and the station. Nor does the garde champetre come unexpected- ly upon Jacquon when he makes his midnight rounds. Gone is Jacquon le Follet, Monsieur Jacquon le Follet Gone, suddenly, for }ife. Gone into the state establishment described by the most polite of peoples as the House of Health WHERE BIG LIONS PROWL. South Africa Is a Country Where Hugh Beasts Are Numerous and Dangerous. “Opn the Broken Hill road,” says the Bulawayo Chronicle of an Incident in that part of South Africa, “on & re- cent night a Non entered a hut where- in were sleeping two white men. Pushing open the reed door, the ani- mal made for the nearer of the two sleepers, and, gripping him by the shoulder with its teeth, lifted him from his bed fhe cries of the man brought several natives to the scene, and these plucklly attacked the beast, bringing it to bay A shotguo hap- pened, fortunately, to be near by, and this the captive succeeded In reaching, instantly shooting the lion. The man, whose name is Thornton, was very badly mauled, but he is making fa- vorable progress.” Io Rhodesia, too, the lions are trou- blesome. An Englishman pamed Mar- rlott was playing tepuis with a man pamed Fynn when news wis brought fn that a loam was attacking the mules. Both rushed for their guns and went in pursuit of the beasts, which they sighted within a slort dis- tance oftheir home. Marriott fired and wounded a lon twice, but without fatal effect The enraged beast charged him, and bit him severely on the thighs. [ts teeth also peneterated bis hands and left shoulder Fynn fired and killed the lion. Marriott was able to go home, but was ordered w hospital, where be expired 24 hours later. ‘At least eight lions have appeared in the districts of Moore's concession and Simmonia recently” says South Africa. “A farmer named Clayton, on visiting his stable one morning, wherein the previous night he had tied up two mules, found bones.
