Un casque préhistorique

A soldier who is in love with a cook calls to see her, and after a good deal of billing and cooing the latter presents her lover with her picture, which he places securely in the inside of his helmet so he can have the image of his loved one always near him. After leaving his sweetheart, he happens to meet a friend, who invites him to partake of some refreshments; but unfortunately for both, they do not know when they have had enough, and before long they leave the place in a very intoxicated condition. The soldier, while making his way back to the barracks, loses his hat. A peasant finds it, but thinking it of little value, throws it over a fence, where it lands in a sand pile. Some time after, a nature fakir, who is making a scientific study of that portion of the country, unearths what he thinks is a relic of other days. He carries his precious burden to the directors of the museum of natural history, who, after much discussion, conclude that the article is of prehistoric origin, and, consequently, of great value. The news of the great discovery spreads far and near, and people come in throngs to gaze on the wonderful antique, which now reposes in a glass case, and is carefully guarded lest such a precious relic should be lost. The soldier, thinking that he will give his lady friend a great treat, takes her to the museum to see its latest acquisition, but what is his astonishment when he recognizes the helmet as his own and substantiates his claim by producing the picture of his sweetheart which is under the band. The disappointed officials give him back his property, and sheepishly dismiss the throng of curious sightseers.
