that the executioner's wife considers
that she and her husband are professionally
one and the same, and that she is no lose a
personage than Madame de Paris. It
must have been agreed between them before
they entered the house that the lady should
do all the talking. Deibler felt that if he
months ago he loft Paris with his nu
family and settled down in his Chateau do
le Chesnaye, but for some time previously
he had retired from the world.and every-
body •had forgotten him. It might be
thought that, considering the( service he
rendered his country, and the distinguished
position he held for such a long period,
sympathy would be found on his aide, but
it is not. Of course there are exceptions,
and two or three papers say that the Gov-
ernment has made a mistake, but the
majority of 1 he organs of public opinion are
either silent or approve of the prosecution.
Perhaps, however, this is not astonishing.
France is accus toned to immolate her great
men.
MINISTER OF JUSTICE STARTS THE BARE.
MONSIEUR AND MADAME DE PARIS.
He must have listened and watched,
however, with feverish interest, and must
have given a nigh of relief when the land-
lord affixed his signature to the nine years'
lease. Something must' have flashed aus-
picious into the landlord's mind, for, turning
to Deibler, tie said :
" Are you not called Monsieur de Paris?'
" Yes, we are," replied Madame Deibler.
" If I had known that before," said the
landlord, " I should not have accepted you
as tenants."
" So much the worse for you," replied
the lady i "'what is done is done."
When it became known in the house that
Deibler was soon to take up his quarters
there the other lodgers gave notice to quit
in rapid succession. Believing that the
executioner is destined to be blown. up
sooner or later by Ravachol'savengers, they
decline to run any risk of being' blown up
with him. The landlord feels as if a
vulture had settled upon his head, and if,he
cannot get the sinister bird taken off him
the poor man may soon, lose his reason. if
Deibler continues to 'hold on (and this is
his present mood) the courts. will be ap-'
pealed to.
The executioner's adventures in search of
a lodging will'make excellent material • for
those who are. writing reviews of the year's
events for the theatres. '

His delight was then to chase them and to
think that he held them. As the old pas-

wrecked, he soon began to compose, or,
rather, to paint, with butterflies, suitingthe
colors of the imaginary being that fluttered

But the disease bas made such steady

.Ln Attempt at )/oral Suasion that Fa• e
Disastrously.
A good story is told at the expense of a
recently appointed supervisor of the .public
schools' in one of our large cities. She was
an estimable lady, who had a strong belief
in moral suasion, and, naturally, a distrust
of corporal punishment One day she hap-
pened to be visitin a; sphool where a young
incorrigible was utldergoing punishment for
a seriee of misdem anors. Even the pres-
ence of the school official did not check -his
bad behavior, and the discouraged teacher
cited him as " the worst 'boy in the echoot—
one that I can't do anything with. I've
tried everything in the way of punish-
ment."
" Have you tried kindness ?'' was• the
gentle inquired of the other lady.
" I did for a long while at first, but I've
got beyond that now 1" the teacher wearily
repliediu
' " Now, my dear little fellow," the new
supervisor said, as she seated herself beside
him on the settee where he awaited a well -
merited chastisement, " I want yon Opole.)
and see me at my house on Tuesday after-
noon: I like to have little boys come to see
n•e, and we'll have a real cosy time. Now,
won't you dome ?"
The astonished urchin could only stam-
merout "I—I guens•,eo. 1'.11 git there if I
cans" and the good lady went to her new
duties, well pleased with the success of her
friendly subterfuge.
The 'Tuesday afternoon, exactly at ,the
time appointed, an awkward and not over
clean boy was ushered into her pleasant
reception room. Never was greater cour-
tesy shown a guest. The host displayed to
bis admiring gaze her choicest engravings
and brightest books. She played for him
the simple and popular melodies that his
taste demanded, and then invited him to
tea. On her most delicate china she set
before him viands that would have done
credit to a New England Thanl=sgiving.
The boy ate with a half starved relish,
