IN the little village of Nancay lu Sologne there lived a worthy mau by name of Oliver Follchon. He lived on apenilonof 000 francs paid blm by the liovernment. The fact of bl* being a pensioner without any other Titlble means of support had ot once won bim general respect. In tbe conntry, however modcat your Income may be, provided you get It a* pen- *loned-off fuuctiouary of some sort and not from tilling tbe soil, you nt¬ tract attention and command esteem.
At flrst Kollcbon kept aloof from people and had nothing to do wllh any one. He *tayed lu the miserable little room that be had rented from Mme. Cretn, wbo kept tbe vilhige lnn as well aa tbe groeery and dry goods store, and made no attempt to Insinuate him¬ aelf Into the Tillage society. It was 'extremely exclusive lo outsiders. Any atranger and, above all, any Parisian wa* looked upon as a dangerous In¬ truder. Try to tell a man of Sologne that s Parisian Is a his fellow-coun¬ tryman, snd If be doea not call you a Ilar It I* ouly because be does not dare to, bnt you mny be sure be thluka it. The only means of escspiug the tra¬ ditional ostracism Is lo bave your name on the pension list. When he arrived, tberefore, the newcomer wsa the loplc of conrersatlon for those wbo patron¬ ised the Inn.
Who on earth la tbat man?" asked one. "I don't know." replied auotber. "He's one of those people that no¬ body know* anything about Tbey come iere wltbont telling anything of their pa*t history, and then you And
out tmt things bave happened "
But old Uotber ('retu bawled out; "What sre you talking about, Soh- thenesT Do you or dou't you know this manF
"As for tsying I don't Itnow lilui, why, I do kuow blm since I've seen blm, bat ¦* far a* anything else Ik concerned wby I'm not acquainted with blm personally."
"Then you're Juat slsnderlng. He'a not s good-for-notblng fellow like you. to be sure, tbst has never amounti^d to anything. He's an educated man. Ilia nsme Is Follchon, and be was an of- Belal at Paris. It's so nnd I can prove \i, tor the clerk flt the town hall, who keeps the register,'"HITHle eo. and he said tbat Monaleur Follchon had n pension from the Government. There'). no use In trying to make out that ev¬ ery one Is bad." And she added as a final argument: "He's an honorable man. for he payp me my rent without trying to beut me down, and besides be wears the trt-eolored ribbon In hia button bole."
"That's so," said a customer. "1 saw him tbla morning snd aald 'Good day," and he even look off bis bnt."
"There! You can aee he'a nn honest man," cried Mother Cretu.
Bostbenes defendetl himaelf. If Mon¬ sieur Follchon wore a ribbon, wby. be mnst be somebody, of course. But you hsve to know people. Now, tbst he knew wbo Monsieur Follchon was, be wns snttafled, and he bad no reason to have anytbing against blm.
"And he's not proud, either." con¬ tinued be who bad aeen tbe tri-colored ribbon. "He bows back whenever any¬ one bows lo him."
"But." asked SoKtbeDrg, "whnt U that decoration of his'f"
After a moment's bealtntlon the shrill voice of Molher Cretu replied: "Tbnt It given to those wbo bnve saved tbe
a*g."
At Ibe back of tbe room an old lunn arose and took off his cap. Tben nil took off their hats one after the other. From tbat time Oliver Follchon ba.l Ihe freedom of the village. Wherever he went he received homage nnd marks of friendship. Whenever be went Into tbe Inn to take a glass wllh bis pro prletrets. busy tongues were ijulet, glasses remained unUsted. counte¬ nances assumed a thoughtful nh- an It tbey were In cbur<-b. and no one drank before the rescuer of the flag hnd given the signal by saying, "To your beallb. gentlemen!"
Tbe consideration with which be felt himself surrounded nt last lu.splreil him wllh esteem for himself, lie no longer walked ns be did before; bis Steps were iiieaKurtHl, luajeslle: lie car¬ ried his hend ihrown back with u lofty sir, and his foruier modesty would bare lieen astonished nt the adinirn tlon that he now eousldered merely Jutt. Uc U-eaine the cnrloslly of Ntncay. Tbey spoke of blm «»" we speak of a historic monument, and the village waa proud of owning hlni Wben tourists or bicyclists nsked Mother Crem If there were any niius In tbe locality to visit or old walls to tarestlgate. "No." she would reply. "bnt we bave bere M. Kullebon, wbo haa saved two flags."
The aort of mystery ibat hovered over the former deed of arms only added to tbe glorious souvenir evoke.l aad consecrateil by the tricolor rll. boa. Kacb time that some curious peraon bad tried to find out:
"Naver mind that." Interrupted Ko- licboa. "It Isn't worth speaking of. I only did my duty, no more and no leaa." Aad tbe good people of Sologne. although Ibey were disappoiuted. only admln-d tbeir hero the more for l».
HIa reputation, passing tbe limits of thc village, had reacbed tbe Chateau of Eberalera. wbere Count Oscar of NeOc lived ducing the bunting season. He waa a tree pad tmay. |).-.ki>itabk- ^atleman. altboogb be boasted tbat be belonged to one of ibe best families la France. The noble ears of fhe Count bad brard rumors with reg.-ird lo the (lenstoner ..f tbe State, and he mada loquiry of bis gamekeeper for farther dauils about blm. "He's sa " rfplied tb* kaeper. withont ktaltattea     "B* gets a p*n*loa fram
bis regiment In 'TOr' "Thnnderation:" exclaimed tbe Count. "Go at once td tbis valiant old captain and tell htm that I should like very much to shake hands with him." Follchon was given tbe honor of touching the hand of tb* last of tbe Nefles. "Prsy   teU   me.   my   good   man.  on
wbat occnsion you saved "
"Oh, Count! It isn't worth spesking about. I only did my duty. No more, no leas."
Count Oscar from a feeling of deli¬ cacy did not Insist. Tbe Interview Impressed blm most favorably. He re¬ peated to each of bis guests: "That It n truly brave man, and as modest as be Is brave. He did not say a word about his heroic set. Let ns show respect to him. gentlemen, for people like blm nre rapidly dying off."    '
Tbe Count stopped calling blm "old man Follchon" nntl addressed blm very respectfully as "M. Follchon." He became bis panegyrist. He told every¬ one the legend of the regiment Kuatched from disaster. At Paris all bis friends knew the story of the Thir¬ ty-eighth Dragoons mirnculonsly res¬ cued from butchery; and to Induce them to come to Ebernlers be promised them a slsbt of the hero. Gradually n new pnge of history was inscribed on Ibe memory of a whole band of country squires, who retailed It proud¬ ly to their tenants and their men. The whole country became enthusiastic over the deeds of a certain Oliver. .\nd tbe day nrrlved thnt tbe legend ou its way back from tbe soutli was implanted In the counties ot VIerson, Romornntin, Sancerre. Snint Armand nnd BourBre—a deflnlte history lu which Follchon, alone, hnd delivered a corps of the Army and hnd almost cap¬ tured thc  Emperor of Germany.
Before long It wns n uunnimous cry In the country, which wns at thnt time in tbe midst of ita elections: "How eau a Republic thnt respects itself think that It bus dnue Its duty to tbe most devoted of Its children when It has given blm ouly a medal from the Iliimaue Society?"
Tbere wns a generni cry of hidlgnn- llon. Each one of tbe candidates took up tbe wrongs of Follchon as one of the planks of his platform. Each one swore to use bis Influence to have blm decorated with thc r.,e);lon of Honor. The Rndlcnl nnd the Conservu- ilve eacb pled.sed his word solemnly.
The Rndlcnl. howevet-. betbougbt himself to look up the title of the old soldier wbo bad become n bugbenr to him. He had no ti-oubU; In finding out wbat he wnnted to, nud one flne morn¬ ing n plneard was pasted up lu tbe forty-three districts of bis riding.
"The Indlvldunl nnincd Follchon (Oliver), nbout w-honi so mucb fuss is being ninde. Is a former policeman of Pnrls. retired and pensioned nfter thir¬ ty yenrs of Joynl service. His regular beat wns the quay of Bercy. The Tth of July, IS".'!, nt 2 o'clock In the after¬ noon be snw a drunken mau who was lying on bis stomach with bis lips to the water nnd w-ns trying to drink. He drew hliu nway by his feet, took blm to tbe stallon aud left blm there till he wus sober again. On this oc¬ casion a report having beeu sent In tbe medal of the Humane Society -tvas awarded to lhe snld Follchon (Oliver) and he now wears Its ribbon."
The people ot Nancny could not be¬ lieve their eyes.
"Is It true . . . wbnt's written on that paper?" asked Mother Cretu with n trembling voU-e,
"Why. yes." replied the thunderbolt that bad alniost taken the Emperor of Uermany by the scrnff of Ihe neck. Aud always modest, he added: "I  never told you  nnythlng  to  tbe contrary, did 1?"

Pittsburg. Pa. — .attorney - General , Knox addressi'd the members of tbe Chamber of Commerce at tbe Hotel Scbenley bere. There were TOO guests present. The subject of his address wns "Tbe Commerce Clause of tbe Constitution and the Trusts." Mr. Knox spoke In part as follows:
Tbe conspicuous noxious features of trusts existent nnd possllile nre tbese: Overcupltnllzntlon. lack of publlelly of operation,  discrliuluntlon  in  pricos  to destroy   i-ompelltlon.   insuffleieiit  per- | sonnl responsthlllly of otfleers nnd di- , rectors for corpointe uinnageineut. leii- deney to monopoly nud lack of nppre   ] elation in  their  innnngemeiii  of  their relations to the people, for whose beu- j elll Ibey are permitted to exist.   Over- ] eupltallinllon Is the chief of tbese nnd Ibe source from which tbe minor ones I flow.    Corporations nnd Joint slock ur otlK-r assoclntlons dependlug upon nuy j Ktntutory   law   for   their   existence  or privileges,   irudlng   beyond   ibelr cwii Stntes, should be required to do busi¬ ness In every State and loeullly upon precisely  live  same  leruis  und  eoudl   [ tlous.    Tbere should be no dlscrimlnu- | llon ill priees; uo preferences lu sen- ice.     Such   corporullons    serving   tlie , publk- ns carriers and In siiulbir cnpa- citles should be compelled to keep tbe j avenues of commerce free nnd open to all upon tbe snme lerms und to observe tbe Inw ns to Its  InJuuctlons ugainst stifling competition.    Moreover, eorpnr- ' ntioiiH upon wblcb the people depend ' for tbc necessaries of life should be re¬ quired 10 conduct Ibeir business so ns regulnrly and i-'.-nsonably to supply tin- publie needs. |

.leffersou. In his letter of Mni-cb I.'i. 17«», to Mndisou, snys of the t'onsii tutlon: "This lustumeni forms us into one Slale as to certalu objei-ls nnd gives us a le.gislnllve und cvecutive body for tbose objects."
Oue hundred years Inler Ibe Supreme Court of the linllcd Stntes declaied "Ibat In the mntter of Interstate com merce the l'nlted States ui-e bul one country, nnd aie nnd must be snblecl to one system of regulations, nnd iioi to u multitude of systems."
In tbe light of such stntements. can It be possible tbnt tbe people of the United States, feeling the pressure of undoubted evils, are ucveribeless total ly powerless?
Conceding thnt Ihe present biw is nol effective throughout the sltunlinu. we come to a finnl alteruntlve: "Mny not Congress, under llie .-xlsting Con¬ stitutional grants, nmend und exteuii Ihe lnw, nnd thus remedy Its defects nnd 1.0 effci-tlvely regulute Nntlonni ami foreign commerce ns to pre vent Ibe stilling of competition, tbe reg Hinting of output nnd price, nnd the re straining of Nntlonni nnd Inleruntiouul trnde? If the answer to tbis question should he In Ibe alllrBiatlve, a sei-oud question follows; How might Con¬ gress so ninend the present law?
