"He is nearly crazy because his son wants to marry an actress." Is he so prejudiced against actresses?" Quite the contrary." "Than what is his trouble?" He wapta to marry her himself!" Little Johnnie: Father, what does "apprenticing" mean? Father: It means the binding of one per- son to another by agreement, and that one person so bound has to teach the other all he c&n of hi# trade or pyofessicn, whilat the other has to watch and learn how things a,re done, and to make himself useful in every way. Johnnie: Then I suppose -you're appren- ticed to mother, aren't you, dad?

Have you at any time been in the I hands of the police?" I The lady hung her head, and the officer I smiled as much as to say "got yer!" Come on, come on; tell me the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," he commanded, nxingtlhe woman with his steely eye. "Well," replied the applicant, "I don't see that either you cr the Government have any business to know, but I don't deny it. Girls will be girls, you know, but. stil'l "—proudly— he was a sergeant." CHANGE OVER. I It was one of those palpably cold-ham- and-pickle inns; but the motor wouldn't go, so Jones and Jenkins had to make the best of a bad smash and put up there. "Accommodation, g-antlemert? Certainly, gentlemen 1" oozed the oily landlord. "Beau- tiful large feather-bed—plenty of room for the two of yon. and big enough for three. This way, gentlemen!" They went, 'they saw, they grunted. It certainly wasn't much of a feather bed. But they agreed to take it, and, being fatigued, retired early. In a few minutes Jones was pound asleep, but, try as he might, Jenkins could not "drop off." At two o'clock in the morning Jones was awakened by a violent nudge in the solar plexus. "What's the matter?" he growled. "Get up!" was the reply. "It's half- time!" Half-time? \yhat are you talking about? I This isn't a oup-tie!" No, but 'it's my turn to sleep on that feather i'' I

[Judge and "The Sack" p EXPRESSION WHICH HAS NO MEANINC Judge WiHis yesterday added to the list of judicial confessions by asserting amazement at an everyday phrase. In the case of a defendant who was absent it was stated that it was because he was afraid of "getting- the sack." The Judge: Tut. tut! Dont use the word "sack." I have never yet seen a.ny per- son put in the sack, and your expression ha-s no meaning. Other comments by Judge Willis on cases before him included the following:- "A man is not always improved by the errors of his father." On a plaintiff omitting to pay the court fee: "You cannot take a single step here, madam, without money." When a. loan society applied for the com- mittal of a police-inspector on account of money borrowed, his Honour said: "Dear me! Here we have a. most estimable gentleman, who watches over our interests in the streets, and yet is obliged to borrow money. It is, indeed, a sad state of things." Another police-officer, a mounted constable, also appeared as a judgment debtor, and the judge said: "Good qra-cious! You seem to have many clients in the police force. You have evidently lifted him from the slough of despair and put him on the high horse of success." (Laughter.) I

In 1895, at the invitation of the directors of Messrs. D. Davis and Sons (Limited), he accepted the post from which he now retites.

I Boy's Night in Sand Box IA STABLEMAN'S EARLY MORNING FIND I A Liverpool boy, named Alexander Gibson, í spent a night away from home under extra- I ordinary conditions. At his usual bed hour he was missed, and the anxious mother, who ¡ lives in Ley den-street, reported her trouble to the pclice. Throughout the night nothing could be hezird of the child, but the morning brought relief, for he was found asleep in a sandbox in a stable yard near his home. He had gone there is search of his father, and, seeing the sand box, went into it. The un- expected closing of the lid made him a pri- soner, and he remained there until a stable- man, having cause next morning to open the | box. was startled to find the little chap fast asleep, j

White Slave Raid. THE CHIEF OF A BAND CAUGHT The Paris police yesterday raided a house in a prominent part of the oity and arrested several members of an organisation concerned in the wihiite slave traffic. One of the prisoners is a soldier in the 54th Regi- ment stationed at Compieguie. He obtained eick leave and came to Paris, where he devoted himself to the ent-rapping of young, giiirls, for which he was paid £ 6 eaí::lh. I The chief of the band is a man aga.inst whom a large list of coriivictions is recorded: He passed under various aliases, and as he wo,s usually i-ea-leased on bail, he failed to ■appear when hi. trial came on. Being tried hy defauit, the Court, for contumacy, awa-rded him the maximum penalty. It has been discovered that in the last twelve years he has been sentenced to terms of imprisonmerat totalling nineteen years, of which he has not served a single day.

I" If You Deceive Me—" I BUILDERS MARRIAGE PROPOSAL Thomas Hodgson. a builder, of Kilburn, was charged at Will-esden yesterday with threatening to murder Mabel Irene Bolton, aged 22, a school-teacher. Mr. Pierron, prosecuting, said that in February, 1906, the accused lodged with Miss 1 Bolton's parents. The pair became fond of each other, but the girl's father did not approve of the courtship, and at his request the accused left the house in November 1903. The two corresponded for a time, but Miss Bolton eventually told the accused that it was undesirable their friendship should continue. Hodgson, said Mr. Pierron, declined to acquiesce, and threatened her. She was very j frightened, and in consequence pretended to j remain on affectionate terms with him. In a letter to her he said: If you deceive me after making me love you so passionately your life shall pay forfeit. I have nothing to lose and every- thing to gain. Miss Bolton became more frightened than ever, and wrote to the accused that every- thing was over between them. Hodgson then commenced to hang around the house nightlyi and ultimately wrote: You love and value your life. Do the right thing by me, or I shall do something desperate before Christmas. On December 30, Mr. Pierron added, when out with her sister, she met the accused, who in a dramatic manner said. At last we meet face to face. You shall not have tha.t little jackanapes Sam Cook. I will stick a knife into you first." To avoid a scene she invited prisoner to her home, where in an excited manner he asked the girl to choose between her honour or her life, and said to her father. "I will stick a knife into her. I really intend to swing for her." Later he wrote that he would kill her unless I am re-instated in the love of my darling Queenie." The Accused (to Miss Bolton): Was it not remorse rather than fear that you were labouring under?—Miss Bolton: No. The Accused: Will you marry me now?- Miss Bolton (emphatically): No. Hodgson, who handed in a written state- ment, was committed for trial.

I Herbalist and His Wife JUDGE'S COMMENT IN DIVORCE SUITI In the Divorce Division yesterday Sir John Bigham heard the undefended petition of Mr. James Hannah, herbalist, of Rochdale, who sought the dissolution of his marriage I because of the misconduct of his wife, Helen, with the co-respondent, Alfred Nevitt. Married on the 28th of March, 1891, at the Wesleyan Ohiapel, K-ochdale, the petitioner and his wife lived happily together for about nine years. Subsequently petitioner said he had cause to complain of his wife's conduct with other men. In 1904. the wife confessed she had done I wrong, but petitioner forgave her, hoping to re,form her. But mattere got no better, and m 1399 the wife made the acquaintance off the co-i,esi, ,,>nde,n,t, an outdoor worker," with whom misconduct was cha.rged. Petitioner described how he came home to his shop one day and found Nevitt. on the premises. Although there was no direct evi- dence of misconduct, witness said he had heard of his wife and co-respondent being together in Manchester. Mr. Bayford (to the petitioner): Why did you not turn your wilj out when you found her a.nd tho co-respondent together?—I told her she mast go, but she wouldn't. (Laugh- ter. 1 His Lordship said he was satisfied the peti- tioner had condoned the wife's offence. He would not give the man a decree, and peti- tioner must continue to carry on his her- balbt's business with the assistance of hit; wife. Mr. Bayford said he would like to ca-11 further evidence. Mrs. Mary Hannah Creasy, of Rochdale, stated that last year Hannah told her .-he (Mrs. Hannah) was in love with Mr. Nevitt and loved the ground he walked upon, but ha-te-d the sight 01 her own husband. Witness detailed admissions of Mrs. Hannah as to her conduct with Alfred Nevitt. Mr Frederick Butterwort-h, of Rochdale, srpoke of .seeing Mrs. Hannah and co-respon- dent go into an empty house together one night last February. His Lordship said he had very little dorlbt that misconduct had been committed by the wife. but if anyone was to blame, it was th.e husband himself, certainly for the misconduct —if any subsequent to the occasion he found the co-respondent in the shop. If the peti- tioner could satisfy the court he took steps to get rid of his wife after he found the co- respondent at the shop, then the court might accept the statement of the petitioner that he never coha-bited with his wife after the event mentioned. j Finally the case was adjourned for evi- dence on the point. <

P. ,)",1 .:t't:I.' \:¡;I.:j'i,f" Coughs and Colds can be cured when first they are felt, or when you have had for a long time any form of cough or cold, by SCOTT'S Emulsion Coughs and colds, acute or chronic, are cured by taking Scott's Emulsion, which is not a medicine that merely gives temporary relief, Scott's Emulsion permanently cures coughs and colds in all their forms. This statement is made here with confidence, because hundreds of people have written to say they were cured of one or another form of cough or cold by Scott's Emulsion. For example, t Mr. W. Bathe, wrote (Jan. 21st, 1909) from 5 Mont- gomery Road, Sharrow, Sheffield: "Last year I caught a heavy cold on the chest which seemed to hang on me for a great length of time, but after taking Scott's Emulsion I found great ease, the wheezing and phlegm disappearing completely. This trademark was on the emulsion I bought" Presuming you wish to get rid of your cough or cold, and influenced by the statements here made decide to buy Scott's Emulsion, decide also, and this is equally import- ant, to GET SCOTT'S EMULSION. You may be asked to buy another emulsion and told it is "just as good as Scott's." That proves that Scott's is THE Emulsion to buy, and proves also that substitute emulsions can only be sold on the reputation of Scott's Emulsion, substitute emulsions have no reputation of their own. That is why Scott's Emulsion cures and other emulsions do not cure; no other emulsion has yet been made that cures like Scott's cures. Scott's Emulsion cures the disease-no matter the age of the patient—and will be approved by your Doctor for Coughs and Colds if you ask him.

London, E.C. .-r. f It will astonish most users of fluid beefs to know that ;;4í IS THE ONLY ONE made in England which guarantees that all its beef comes from its own cattle Purity of raw material is all-important in food supplies. The OXO Company guar a ntees from its own personal knowledge that every ounce of beef used for OXO is perfectly sound and healthy. We do not know any other British fluid beef which can give that guarantee. Do you ? Life on the OXO farms. "I stood in my stirrups and shouted from the sizeer joy of life" so wrote a London visitor recently from the OX,) cattle farms. Hardly any words could more suitably describe how the bracing air and gorgeous sunshine of these farms infuses one with vitality. How often do we in England feel such vitalizing energy and joy in the sheer gladness of life ? It is obvious that a climate so productive of animal activity must have a remarkable effect on cattle. And such is the case. The quality of beef produced by cattle bred on the OXO farms is without doubt the finest beef in the world. It is healthy in the highest degree, and such is the effect of t:ie open-air life which OXO cattle enjoy that tuberculosis is practically unknown that dreaded disease from which, according to the Lancet," NO fewer than 25 per cent. of cattle in Eng* land suffer at the present day. Not only are OXO cattle healthy, but their vitality is such that they produce beef which is unsurpassed for concentrated beef foods. And that accounts for the wonderfully recuperative, vitalizing and nourishing effect of the world-famed beef food known as OXO. All who have a care for purity and good- ness of the foods they eat and drink should make a point of insisting on OXO and seeing the name OXO on the label. The world is flooded with shams and make- believes, and it is surely worth a little trouble to obtain an article which is admitted by independent authorities to be manufactured better than seetn$ necessary."
