The Inaugural Address.
. President McKinley gives, every
guarantee of a business administration
that an inaugural message can express.
Like his letter of acceptance of the Re-
publican nomination, his first com-
munication as President, addressed to
the people, is remarkable for its aim-
' plicity of statement, itslwholesome and
welcome freedom from rhetorical pre-
tense, and the strong air of common
sense that pervades it. What he has to
soy.the President says briefly and point
edly, and without waste of words in in-
troductory phraseology. ’

ly-endorsed by the press wherever it has

p zarance at Hoyt’s.
A New Canaan man who had a feel-
ing of revenge as against one of [his
neighbors stole what- be supposed to be
his enemy’s chickens. He made a
mistake and got another man’s chic-
kens, and by so doing got 30 days in
jail and a fine of $7 and costs.

A Story of the French Revolutidn.
At the time of the French Revolu-
tion, Houdon. the celebrated French
sculptor (whose statue of Voltaire we
have all admired in the foyer of the
Theatre Francoise), was thrown into
prison. Mme. Houdon,
went to Barras. and with streaming
eyes implOred his assistance. Barras
shook his head; he feared he could
do nothing. Houdon was a man of ge-
nius, and, therefore, as David was one
of the condemning judges, he feared
there was little chance for his salva-
tion. Mme. Houdon refusing to accept
this opinion as final and using all the
arts and beguilements of which an as-
tute French lady is capable, Barras at
last condescended to ask her if her
husband had any statue for sale at
that time in his studio. Madame re-
plied that the only finished statue at
present in his atelier was a figure of
Saint Scholastice, holding a scroll of
MS. in her hand.
On hearing this the wily Barras rang
the bell and said to his answering sec-
retary: “M. Houdon has just com-
pleted a splendid statue of ‘Philoso-
phy Meditating on the Revolution.’
Hasten and purchase this sublime
work of art, and have it placed in the
Assembly.” Barras’s orders were car-
ried out, with the result that not only
was the sculptor’s life spared, but he
received more commissions for statues
than he was able to execute. On such
small issues (lid the lives of men hang
in those tremendous times—From Th‘c
Gentlewoman.
