| A BOY SCOIT OF FRANCK
••
.. "
An interesting ceremony took place
in Mori nix. Brittany. Prance. on Aug.
Id.. Mortaix before the war, had a
c„mj«any of Roy Stout* who had
rsade themselves efficiently useful lu
J the role of life wavers along the adjjae
cat coast. When the war broke out
the company begged the French Gov
ernment to make use of ita nervlee
.n some -apacity; and so they were
sent to the front • • to find thetr own
work. * *
At the head of the scout* was
Yves Menel, who, though only 15
year* oik, had many daring feats to
hi* e.twditt and a score of live* that he
hnd saved. The youth was full of
enthcsiasm: and when he arrived at
St. Mihiel. where his company was
stationed he not only verified his title
of * • scout, ’' in which capacity he
served almost daily, but when the Ger
mans sashed into the triangle and took
she height of St. Mihiei by surprise
he rescued many a fallen countryman
in the teeth of the enemy's fire. Six
times he was shot; yet he would not
viel-1 until he had save,! a doien
wounded on top of a knoll under the
gun* that were belching death. Fin
»Dv a bayonet thrust entered his right
eye: but his companion scouts rescued
him and the wounded in whose behalf
he had exposed himself. After he
month'« confinement in a hospital he
was taken home and amid the con
course of the Moriaisians ‘‘and the
whole coast.” he was decorated bv
M. Thiers. Prefect of Bretigne. with
the Gross of Honor- under order of
the Government, for extraordinary
bravery. Seven of his original twenty
three companion? were present at the
ceremony.
A
EVIDENCE OF INSANITY
The following experience of a Mis
sissippi lawyer was recently related by
Himself; he said:
'"I was defending a prisoner for
horse stealing, and seeing no other
means of defending him, under the
circumstances. I set up a plea of in
sanity. I argued it at length, read
:<iany extracts from works of medical
jurisprudence, and had the patient
attention of the eonrt. The prosecut
ing attorney did not attempt to re
ply to my argument or controvert
rev authorities
• • 1 seemed to have things my own
way .and whispered to the prisoner
that he needs't be uneasy.
Then came the judge's charge, 1»
which he reminded the . jury that
there was no dispute between coun
sel as to the fact la the ease. .In
deed,there could no? have been-for
several witnesses had sworn positive
ly that they saw my client steal the
horse.
“ ‘But,’ concluded the court, ‘the
plea of insanity has been set up. and
I charge you gentlemen of the jury
that it should receive your very
grave and serious deliberation; but
I must be allowed to say, gentlemen
that for myself, upon a review of
the whole case, I ’an discover no
;evidence of insanity on the par* of
the prisoner, except perhaps in the se
lection of his counsel.' ”
