Bar ah Bernhardt Witnessed It and Hugged Him In Appreciation. One daj when the rehearsal was er an hour earlier than usual I wm waiting, my forehead pressed agmnst the window pane, for the arrival of Mme. Guerard, who was ooming to fetch me. I was gazing idly at the oppooite footpath, which ii bounded by the Luxembourg railings. Victor Hugo had just crossed the road and was about to walk on. . An old woman attracted his attention. She had just put a hoavv bundle of linen on the ground and was wiping her forehead, 011 which were great beads of perspiration. In spite of the cold, her toothless I month was half open, as she was 1 panting, and her eyes had an expression of distressing anxiety as ahe looked at the wide road she had to cross, with carriages and omniboaes passing each other. Victor 1 Hvgo approacnea ner, anu ancr a abort conversation he drew a piece I mi monej from his pocket, handed it to her; then, taking off his hat, I he confided it to her and, with a I ywck movement and a laughing p lace, lifted the bundle to his shoulder and crossed the "road, followed I by the bewildered woman. I rushed V downstairs to embrace him for it, L bat by the time I had reached the passage, jostled against De Chilly, wanted to stop me, and def Mended the staircase Victor Hugo T AAnl/) PAA AT> 1V r iiiHl Ulbspp^aicu. a tvuiu ouv vutj 'the Oman's back, but it seemed to Me that she hobbled along now mere briskly. The next day I told the poet that I had witnessed his delicate good deed. "Oh," said Paul Maurice, hia Swet with emotion, "every day dawns ?is a day of kindness for fern." I embraced Victor Hugo, and we went to the rehearsal.?From Bmh Bernhardt'* Recollection*. it is now against the law to send a weekly paper to a subscriber longer than one year on credit.

What tha Cain Usad ta Buy Whan It Was In Circulation. The first time I ever saw a penny was at school in Yankeeland in 1847. It was given me to pay the man for bringing me a letter from the postoffice?10 cents postage, 1 cent delivery in those da vs. People had to get their mail at the of1 fice. There was no free deliv: ery. Certain neighborhoods of : piasters, however?the college ; town was full of such?secured the ! services of a lame, halt or blind ! man to bring their letters from the office to their door once a day for ! the stipcifll of a penny each. ! There was no coin in circulation of less value than a picayune where ! was my home. A picayune repre: sented so little value that a miser j was called pieayunish. At the same time it represented such a big value that we children felt rich when we had one tied in the corner of our handkerchief. Old Manette, who set up her table and urn for an hour or so every morning at the corner of Camp and Canal streets, served delicious hot coffee?a big cupful, too?for a picayune, but when I was out of bed early enough for that it was to go to market with John. Then we took our coffee at Palmare's stand, for she supplemented a greasv cake the size of a cracker as lagniappe with the coffee. At the corner of Chartres and Canal streets was a tiny soda fountain where one could get a glass of soda for a picayune?or mead. We children liked mead. I never see it now, but as I recall it was a thick, honey, oreainy drink. We must have preferred it because it seemed so much more for a picayune than the frothy, effervescent, palish soda water. It was a great lark to go with pa and take my glass of mead while he ordered ginger sirnp (ol all things!) with his soda. In the changes years bring, a penny now buys about what a picayune did in mj day. One pays a penny for ever so big a newspaper today. A picayune was the price of a small beet in my time.?Mrs. B. itiplsj in Hew Orleans Times-Democrat. NO PAY NO PAPER FOR 1911.
