A LITTLE STORY.
Here is a little story from tho front (says "La Semaine Litteraire) which is absolutely authentic: The church tower of a certain village in the hands of the enemy proved very annoying to a particular portion of the French trenches. It was decided accordingly that it must bo destroyed, and a good artillerist was chosen for the purpose. He accordingly addressed himself to his task, and, having taken careful aim. succeeded eventually in levelling tho tower by a well-directed shot. Congratulations followed—to which _ tho gunner replied: "You would felicitate me all the more peptiaps, although there is little need for congratulation, if you knew what I am in civilian Ife." "How do you mean—what are you?" " I am a priest."
