French drivers go rapidly, but care fully; if .they hit anybody the Ifsf hits them. A member of the Cham- ber of Deputies went to jail for a year, all the influence of his friends, could not save him. He struck a child. B. Forman, of Rochester, N. Y., can tell you of a French chauffeur accused of intoxication, sent to jail for ten years. He killed a child. Mr. Fonnlp saw the thing happen. Here in Kansas you see great trac tors providing power, machinery edi ting and bindit^ corn, great engines binding, threshing wheat, and tying the grain in sacks, all in one oper ation. In France occasionally you would see a peasant and his wife cutting 1 their pram with sickles in vnul! firMs irregular shape. • Fields were har vested with scythes. Here and there teams of horses drew mowing ma chines. Power driven agricultural machinery ‘was not seen between Paris and Lejard. — y DtrtmdvU* t' ..

A hundred such gleaners were seen irt a day’s drive. They were less fortunate than Ruth, tiieir gleanings meagre There was no Boaz to com mand his young men, saying, M Let her glean even among the sheaves and reproach her not: and let fall also some of the handfuls on purpose for her and leave them that >he may glean them, but rebuke her not.” With hand rakes the old grand mother and the little girl could have gathered all the gleanings in-a short time, but that evidently was not al lowed. Gleaning must be done by hand, the old body must stoop, and ctoop all day long to pick up stray straws. When the grain had gone from the field an old sheoherd would bring his little band of sheep. These would walk through the stubble eat ing the over-ripe grain that had fallen (From the ears. Other bands of sheep led by an old man or woman with dogs tn help, ate the grass along the kighsv;* - edge. No sheep ever strayed onto the road before the automobiles. Dogs prevented that, and the sheep seemed trained. Beautiful animals, admirably kept, they waste nothing in France. Very Low Regular Excursion Fares ► . * —TO— COLUMBIA, S. C.

Once “La Gabelle,” a heavy tax on salt, dressed the mistresses of French kings and made life easy for three lucky classes, royalty, clergy and nobility. It was death to the peasant to escape “La' Gabelle” by taking his salt from the ocean. Conditions are better now.. The kings are sleeping in St Denis, the few whose bones were not scattered during the Revolution. There are more schools than chateaux, tno.re public libraries t than galjpws.
