| WHY JACQUOIN |
LAUGHED
(Copyright, by Joseph B. 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

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

Bands
Waverly—The sun shone bright-
ly this morning as the Waverly
fire department marched up Broad
street in their spick and span uni-
forms to take the special Lehigh
train, which left for Ithaca at 7:30.
The Packer band of Sayre came
up on the 7:08 car and discoursed
their usual inimitable music, much
to the enjoyment of the large
crowd who had gathered to see
the companies depart. The Pack-
ers accompanied Tioga hose com-
pany No. 1.
The Tiogas and Packers will
have their quarters in the rooms of
Torrent hose company No. 5 and
will take dinner and supper at the
First Methodist church of Ithaca.
Spaulding hose company No. 2,
in their handsome new browa umi-
forms trimmed with black braid,
which have just been completed by
Betowski, the tailor, were the cen-
ter of attraction and were greeted
by expressions of admiration on all
sides. The Nichols band accom-
panied them.
The Waverly hook and ladder
company was accompanied by the
Waverly Boys' band, which, under
the leadership of the sterling mu-
sician, Johan Daley, is furnishing
music of which the village may be
proud.
The stalwart Waverly protective
fire police will head the Waverly
department at Ithaca, and the ever
popular Cayutas, which was the
last company organized, will bring
up the rear.
The entire Corning department
arrived here this morning at 6:30
on a special Erie train and were
transferred to the Lehigh.
Those who were lucky enough
to be at the depot at this early
hour were treated to a concert by
the accompanying bands.
The firemen were photographed
