ME METAL SOLDIER
[Origin* 1.1
Antolne Gnspard, a tobacconist In n
?mall toivn near ['aria, tired of having
tin' wooden tlgutv standing before Ida
shop huckcd by gamins, concluded to
replace It by a metal one. State bo
was to make a change be might as
well get up something unique, bo lie
srent to the cltj nnd employed a young
irt student to design a Ogure for him.
The artist hit upon a soldier lighting
his pipe. The butt of his gun rested
on the ground. With one hand be held
a match; with the other shaded the
tlame from the wind, only there was
no flame. Then a happy thought struck
Gttspard. A tube was run from the
pipe down through the statue and Into
the shop. The match was hollow und
connected with the gas pipes. A mov
able plate covered with phosphorus was
adjusted to the roughened end of the
malt h. lij means of a wire leading to
the shop the plate could be pulled and
the gas lighted. Gaspard sucked a
rubber tube leading from the pipe,
which would scud forth clouds of to
bacco smoke. Then he would turn otT
the light from the match.
When the Franco- 1 Yussian war came
on. Gaspard's sou, I'ierre, aged eighteen,
becamc a French soldier. Ills old
mother, who doted ou him. begged bard
for him to stay at home aud wept bit
ter tears when he marched away.
Then came the news that the Prus
sians were carrying everything before
them and marching ou Paris. One
evening Just after dark old Gaspard's i
door was flung o|icn. anil IMcrre rushed j
In. pali\ bleeding, evidently fleeing fori

The two men pushed forward to the
space they could see old Oaspard's
?hop, which was dimly lighted, as
"I can see tbo figure of a soldier."
''There, before that little shop."

At tliat moment the figure In front
of the shop was dimly Illuminated by
a tiny tin me, and the Prussians could
plainly see that the inai? was a soldier,
with his gnn resting on the ground
anil leaning against his shoulder. Th>'
flame rose and fell as of one pulling on
the pipe, and smoke was also visible.
"Sucre!" exclaimed the lieutenant
"lie's 'a soldier, after nil, and where
there Is one there must be more. The
French are not fools to occupy a town
with one man. There must be at least
a battalion,- hut they are very poor sol
dlers to leave no picket out here. We i
might capture them."
The officer decided to go back as fast
#s he could and reported that there
was a force of the enemy In tho town,
with no picket out, and they might be
surrounded and taken. An hour later
two regiments of the line moved out.
One encircled the town, while the other |
advanced to demand surrender. The
only French soldier In the town was a
metal one that had the coolness as the
Prussians advanced to light his pipe.
Old Gaspard after his sou's arrival
had gone out to reconnolter. and In con
cenlmcnt he had beard battel and'Itu
bldoux converse about his statue.
\Vlien they withdrew he went back,
got up a team to remove ills son and
to gain time conceived the plan of mak
ing his soldier smoke for the Prussians.
