Jo-day's Short Story.
Jo-day's Short Story. THE NEW YEAR'S FEAST. The weather is bad, distressing, and oold Ibe streets are dirty. Wtoat of it! Parris is all ago?. It goes, it cornea, it perambulates, and all its carriages are crowded. All Saints is past—tifco day of the dead; to-day fa the day of the lining. Early in the morning a worthy fel,a little, old man, already shaved and "spick and span"—went down his six flights of mtaim. With a. little basket hanging from his arm, and his pipe in his mouth, he goes Blowly through the neighbourhood, watching the display of eatables, entering the shops and asking the prices. When he comes back his pipe is out; but the basket is no longer flat. Ha, ha! It's easy to see that someone is .coing to have his boy to dinner to-day," said i-the janitor. The old feilow smiles and climbs up to hia -lodgings—two small rooms and a. kitchen to match. Once there he takes out, spreads, and ,gazes at the oantemta of hia basket. A briJi- &hink of it-with eix splendid inusQrooma! And that?" Mush!" A par trid ge Quite so-xeaody drawn, and larded." And what is that over there-that. blaok thing—spoiled fruit?" Iso, indeed." Trufile, perhaps?" As you say." Why not, aince hia boy is coming to dinaier! And that is not all. Smell that Quarter of a. pound of butter; the real 'a.rticle; no margarine in that; amd freuh! Smell it, I tell you! It'd to go with thoso .zlink radishes, the earliest of the season, if 70u please! And that, also—a head of salad, which will be followed by a square of Brie •cheese (isn't it white and creamy?) And guess: two bunches of grapes! What do you think of it?" You must be quite a rich, old man?" "Very; yes." His pension of non-commissioned officer, said what he has been able to put aside and to pay into an annuity insurance company after leaving the army; in all, about 1,000 francs. Per month?" Per year. But when one does Dot ask anything from anybody, what of it?" "And who is going to cook all tha.t?" He himself. He knows; an old soldier is never embarrassed. And then the worthy woman whose artless picture is hanging on the wall-his wife, the mother of his boy— was a splendid cook during her lifetime. He used to watch her while smoking his pipe. He learned from her. You'll see if bis boy does not lick his fingers." The time comes; the old man starts to work. With what care. It must be good, and it must look good. He does his best, enjoying in advance the effect produced upon the beloved guest by these luxuries, and this tempting food. The hours pass unnoticed .by him. Twilight is coming; fortunately, might comes early in the winter. He is not late; everything going on well. What a tempting odour permeates the lodging. The little old man is happy. His son will be surprised. It will be a great treat for him.. Still more so than one thinks, for since the day before a long-necked bottle has been placed on the mantelpiece, to get luke- warm, to bring forth the full flavour of its aroma. It is claret. And, besides, when the young man will take up his napkin. What's that, father?" "Undo the paper: open the box." "A watch? A gold watch? Ah, pa, I know it It's mother's watch." And the worthy fellow sees his boy rising from the table, throwing his arms around his neck, kissing him, with a tear in his eye; for his boy is a brave fellow. "After all, it is not worth while to be affected. The watch was there; it was no use to anybody. The watchmaker repaired it, and now it goes." That is what the little old man thinks, but he is moved, nevertheless. Bracing up, he begins to set the table. ,From the sideboard he takes old relics—a tablecloth, the only one which remains from the household which the good wife has left. Napkins are added; they belong to the same time, hemmed and marked by the absent one. There is the plated castor, which was given him on his birthday; other things of small value—souvenirs—which the lone man carefully puts down, looking at the picture that is watching him, and seeming to smile as if she whom it represents was also await- ing her boy. Well, he may come now. It's ready." He will not delay much longer; it is six o'clock. In the meantime the old man sit43 down, looks at the waiting table, and thinks, xexttefmberjs, sees again in hi3 mind the New Years of former days. The mother was .seated opposite him, the youngster between them. perched on his high chair. Parents, dead also, and friends, scattered now, came to cschange greetings. They were happy; they were hopeful; they t4hought life would always go on in the same way, and t..ben- "Why it is half-past six? Can it be pos- sible for the boy to be detained at the shop? And yet he was complaining the other day erf tie little work that there was If he is late the fine dinner will not be so good. Dh, he'll come; he never fails. Let's wait." Ar.d wl-iile the hard pushes on over the dial of the old clock a painful suspicion takes root in the father's mind. If his son were not coming? Where is he? What detains him? The tick-tack of the timepiece resounds lika so mruny blows in the heavy heart of the old man. His breathing becomes shorter in his unsneakable aeonv. Suddenly a crash resounds in the mournful silence of the roo;v>, and seven times the gong strikes sevfn o'clock. Intensely listening to every noise from out- side, the poor man starts every time the street door is shut. He seeks to recognise the aeoending step. 1 Is it he?" No, it stops on the fourth floor. He rebels against the despair which slowly overwhelms him. He wishes the clock were fast—he would wish to stop the flight of timc-but, ■' is a quarter-past. The atrocious truth imposes itself; and, heart-broken, the poor man thinks, He is mot coming." What can he be doing? Is he at the cafe -in bad company? Or -God if he were eick." It's the last hops, cruel as if is; but the old man tortures his mind to find an excuse for his son. He wishes to go and find out. No. If he were to come while his father is away. Everything becomes confused and seems to crumble down; his bewilderment is complete. The poor man no longer struggles against his sorrow. Crushed, he yields to the bitter- ness of his abandonment, and the only thing that subsists in him is the rog-ret of having lived so long—this desire to go away to die. What is he to do henceforth ? Who thinks of him? Who loves him? No one any more. He is de trop." Without expectations, tired of the present, he has bnt one refuge-tlw TIe wishes to take down his wife's picture, to place it opposite him at the table, to try to eat. I Eat. When one's h-e4rt is so heavy. There is no room for food. No, it's all over with him-it's all over." And he keeps on repeating this, struggling against the sob which rises, contracts his throat, strangles him, is it going to burst forth, when— The key grates in the keyhole, the door flies open, showing a tall, lusty fellow, who shouts: Happy New Year, Pop. I am late. But I'll tell you "Nothing, my son, my boy. You are here; I have you, that's enough. For now, you see, my whole life can be told in one word: You." The poor people cannot do what they please. Work was elack, and, not wishing to come empty-handed, the boy had taken extra work. lie had worked an night amd all day, finishing only at five o'olock. Delivering his work, drawing his pay, buy- ing the present—a meerechaum pipe—and dressing were the causes of delay. But he is there. Never mind the rest. They are at the table; they have finished the I soup. The father pours the wine from the 10n.g.nked bottte, and the son, raising his 1 grlaes and looking at the picture, says:— "To mother."
I This is Resolution Day 1
I This is Resolution Day 1 t VOWS TO KEEP OR BREAK 1 This is the day for Good Resolutions, for turning over new leaves galore, and for vow- ing righteous vows which will be broken, as sure as the ice on the Serpentine, before the New Year is many hours' old. To-day's resolutions list will, it is gas to say, break all past records absolutely. Self- denial is the basis on which most of us work. Last night, with the exception of a riotous band of heathen who own Scotland as their birthplace, and who don't count on New Year's Eve, 6,000,000 of noble-hearted inhabi- tants of Greater Londo-n went to bed smiting their breasts and resolving the most mighty things. To wit: To get up earlier every morning.. To do noble things and not draara. tllcm all day long. To ba kind to their wiveS. To be considerate to the;r husbands. To keep daily account of their expenses. To be fruxcal. To pay their tailors cash. To e6chow the foaming cup. To treat the income-tax man and the rate-collector as brothers. To come home early from the club. To forswear bridge—even at 100. per 100. To put by for a rainy day. Etc., etc., etc. These are the common lines on which all men work. At midni-ght on New Year's Eve they seize their pet Habit by the throat, shake it like a terrier shakes a. rat, and fling it out of their sight with a, Go away, you Beast!" This habit may be anything--dri'Drk, mur- der, love, hate, lying, swearing, ritualism, rognery, or cigarettes. But it comes round on January 2 with a smiling face, meets you as an old friend returned from a far country, and in a brace of shakes you are round the corner and celebrating auld acquaintance with a wee drop-just one (so, at any rate, declares the" Morning Leader" specialist in such matters). And then it is all over until next January! It is just the same whether you are a tea drinker or a wife-slaughterer, or a sward. swallower. No sooner is the New Year well warmed when along comes the Ruling Pas- sion, and down goes the tea., or the wife, or the sword, whichever particular vice is yours. And, after all, the greatest pleasure in life is breaking good resolutions made in the small hours. It does not matter whether you are a busman or a baronet, a body. snatcher or a bridge player, fate has you in her grip, and knows very well that every first of January you are sending down a new

For Women Folk I HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES I The best method of teaching a parrot to speak is to cover its cage with a cloth, and then, selecting the sentence you wish the bird to learn, repeat it over and over again. A good deal of patience is necessary, as some- times the creature will not utter a word for days, but if one perseveres with this treat- ment for an hour or so each day the bird will generally learn the phrase. Do not cut the bird's tongue on any account. Captain Sauce for Boiled Fish one Spanish onion raw and chopped very fine, one dessertspoonful of raw parsley, one egg hard boiled, all chopped Tery fine. Add a little mixed mustard, popper, salt, and I vinegar. Mix all together. To Dry-Clean a Coat I An old-fashioned method to dry-clean A ooat is to dip a brush in a solution of warm gall, and apply to the greasy places. Sponge off, and dry by the fire, then lay the coat quite flat, and cover it with clean, damp silver sand, end with a brush beat it into the cloth. With a hard brush well scour the sand out of it, and the dirt will oome away with it, after wliich air and press. Butterscotch. I Put into a clean pan Hlb. of soft sugar, 2oz. of butter, haif-teaspoonful of cream of tartar, and naif a teacupful of cold water. Let the whole boll for about -ten minutes without stirring, then dip a spoon in cold water, take a little of the boiling sugar and drop it into cold water, if the mixture hardens, pour it at once into a. well-buttered plate or tin. You may add, if liked, a. little powdered ginger or vanilla essence just beforo pouring it out Make it into neat squarea when it cools a little. Genoa Cakes I One pound butter, lilb. caster sugar, lilb. flour, 1 citron, 21b. sultanas, 12 eggs; nutmeg and lemon to flavour, Make a. wooden frame 14ML. by Sim., 2 £ in. deep; put frame on bakiog- tiu, line with thick white paper to prevent mixture coming out. The greatest importance for success ia to put plenty of labour in the making. Put butter into pan, work it with your hands till it becomes a light cream, then add sugar; continue working until both become a. light cream. If the butter is hard, gently warm, working same in the meantime. Do-not beat, rfts the butter becomes oily. Add three eggs well beaten umtal a cream again, continue same until eggs are ueod. Then mix sifted flour, peel, sultanas, poit mixture ion frame, press level, put 6oz. obopiped almonds on top. Send the cake to the baker's to be baked, as these cakes seldom succeed in ordinary ovens.
Passing Pleasantries I
Passing Pleasantries I During a vacation one summer a gentle- man and his family boarded at a farm in Norfolk. The next year he wrote to the farmer, saying, "There are several little matters that I desire changed should I decide to pass my holidays at your house. We don't like the maid Mary; moreover, we do not think a sty so near the house is sanitary." "The farmer replied, "Mary is went, and we 'aven't 'ad no hogs since you went away last August!" A comedian was touring in America, and, arriving at a mining settlement in the Far West, was most hospitably reoeived. As a return for this friendly treatment he arranged to give a special performance of his principal comedy in four acts. The audience, numbering about thirty, sat in grim silence through three acts, but at the end of the third act the miners rose in a body, gathered up their belongings, and started to depart. The comedian, in dismay, rushed before the curtain. Gentlemen," he exclaimed, there is another act yet!" "Yes," said one of the miners emphatically, after an embarrassed pause, "that's why we're going!" A BROAD HINT. An elderly Scottish lady waa netted by an impecunious relative who outstayed his welcome to such an extent that his hostess, finding his company very irksome, delicately hinted on Beverail occasions that his pro- longed visit was straining her hospitality. These gentle intimations having no effect, she decided that it was time to resort to rather more vigorous methods. "Janet," s'he remarked impressively to the cook in the hearing of her guest, dinna forget to bite twa eggs for Mr. MacPhairaon's breakfast to- morrow-he's traivelHn'
-INNOCENT -MAN HANGED.I
INNOCENT MAN HANGED. I Herr Hanssen, a member/ of the German Reichstag, declares that a tramp named Deppe, who was executed six years ago for the murder of a girl named Nissen, at Nord- burg, North %chleswig, waa innocent. He publishes overwhelming evidence to show that the murder was perpetrated by a notorious criminal named Tessnow, who has just been sentenced to death for the third time at Greichswald. Tessnow was living at Nordburg at the time Nissen was murdered. Deppe protested unceasingly that he was innocent, even at the gallows on the point of death, and in view of Herr Hainssen's revelations no reasonable doubt exists that Deppe was executed for a 9me of which he was innooent.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN P" -I
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN P" Counsel's Rush Into Court, At the second court of tihe G II Quarter Sessions to-day the Benah had a sharp word with counsel during the hearing of a charge of attempted suicide preferred against Rachel Miles, the wife of John Miles, collier, of Abergwynfl, and the mother of eleven children. The evidence had been neaifly concluded, when Mr. Hugh Jones and Mr. Ivor Bowen, coiinael for the prosecution and defence resj>e^tively, pushed in from the first court. The Chairman (Mr. R. W. IJeweflyn): Where have you oounsel been all this time? We have nearly disposed of the case. Mr. Ivor Bowen: We were not called, sir, and we .are very sorry. Ait assizes an itima- tion is sent to us, but it is not done at this court. The Chairman: Well, we will hear what you have to say under the cdrcumstfenoee. Mr. Bowen then spoke in extenuation of the woman's offence. She was, he said, a respect- able woman., with a family of eleven chil- dren but she had been subject to fits, and, having given way to drink during the week in wth-ich she committed the rash act of try- ing to kill herself with a razor, she became d'e»5pondem.t, and had not probably been. accountable for her actions. She had been in the prison infirmary since the middle of November, and was now quite well again. Arrangements had been made to keep proper supervision over her future conduct. The. iesne was not put to the jury, and the Bench bound the defendant over in £2{) to be of good behaviour, and discharged her on the condition that she wouJd sign the pledge.

A SOLOMON WANTED I A Solomon will be required to give judg- ment in a murder case which is just re-called by the coufession of a man named Jacob Bloesch at Geneva. In the autumn of 1905 Mme. Bloesch was murdered near the village of Sombeval, in the Jura district of the Canton of Vaud. She had been killed by one blow from a dagger, which had pierced her heart. Her husband was arrested on suspicion, and also a man named Messarli, but when Mcssarli confessed to the crime the husband was released. The two men were unknown, to each other. Messarli was sentenced to four and a half years' penal servitude. Jacob Bloesch, who has now been arrested at Nidau for robbery, now declares that he murdered his wife and that Messarli is inno- cent.

IWOUNDED LOVER MARRIED I
I WOUNDED LOVER MARRIED I Surgeons & Nurses as Witnesses I With two white-capped nurses as wit- nesses, and with surgeons standing by with theirein,tniment,s and anaesthetics all in readiness, Charles Trooce was married to Julie Bernadi yesterday as he lay on the operating table, at the Flower Hospital, in New York. A Itominican father performed the oeremony. Troooe, who is employed at Sherry's Res- taurant, fought a duel with Francisco Rostin over Julie in a lower room at that establis«hinent on Saturday evening. Rostin used a. long, keen knife, which pierced his antagonist's liver. The girl's wounded lover sent word to her by messenger as soon as he was told it would be necessary to operate on him. She hurried to his side in great agitation. Then a. priest was summoned, and the operation was post- poned until the marriage was contracted. The head nurses, who acted as witnesses, were Marie Sophia, and Elisabeth. Stoyle. The brido is 30 ye>a.r3 of age, and the groom 27. The operation took some time, but aft-er it was over Trocce rallied, and the surgeons said he had a good chanoe of recovery. The bride did not leave him till she got the cheering tidings. Trocce's assailant was locked up charged with felonious assault.

She failed to approach the ship, but stayed near the boat all night. The men walked from the beach to the ship, which was nearly on dry sand. The cargo was thrown into the sea, so that the steamer is expected to float in a day or two.

Springbok and the Leek
Springbok and the Leek Oh, we're off our heads at Stellenboech, we're arazy at the Paarl, It's just the same in every dorp wfoere kerels speak the taal; For there's not an Africander but through- out this blessed week Will rejoice without his onion and wiR sub- stitute a leek. Every night for all a month I've sccni a Griffin in my sleep Bounding up the timid Springboks, as a dog rounds up the ehoep; In the air I've seena. critic with a vulture's horrid beak- Wearing Prince of WaleW feathers, whale has tail it was a. leek. In my pleasant dreams the Griffin is no more a fearsome beast, It is either he whdg smaller, or the Spring- bok who's increased; While the critic's Hying somewhere in the middle of next week, And the Springbok sports the PrinOe of Wales' feathers and the leek. Oh, I've seen Bob Ixxubser lying with Ted Moo-gran on his chest, Watching Percy Bush and Owen play the dickens with the rest; Old Gwyn Nichols' been a bogie with a. swelling in his cheek; Yes, it might have been his tongue, and yet it might ha.ve been a leek. But, hurrah! I'm done with. dreaming of the Cambrian box of tricks Since the Springboks licked the Welshmen by eleven points to nix. And I've shouted till I haven't got the blessed breath to speak Of my honest admiration for the wearers of the leek. Gallant Wales it was that made the game our boys are playing now, And although we've beaten Taffy it was Taffy taught us how. Yes, we're proud; I'm not pretending that we are unduly meek; But we'll punch his had who dares insult the wearer of the leek. In my youthful d'34Ys the pedagogue my boyish sense impressed With awe because he knew the things my brain could not digest; But since I've outgrown his scope in Latin and in Greek, I have loved him as the Springbok loves the wearer of the leek. No, we dinna grudge the canny Scot his triumph in the rain; And, begorrah, Pat might thwack us if we had to play again; If the rose should bloom ungathered, we'll not kill ourselves with pique, But our hearts go out, whatever, to the wearers of the leek, —"Spatawbok" tax tIbe "Oope Time*"
I Bookmaker's Bets.I
I Bookmaker's Bets. I I SESSIONS' CHAIRMAN DISCUSSES A PLACE." The Epiphany quarter sessions for the county of Glamorgan were opened at the Town-hall, Cardiff, this morning. In charging the grand jury, the Chairman (Mr. O. H. Jones) said the cases in the calendar, which number 29, were of the character which usually came before quar- ter sessions—cases of larceny and things of that sort. A bookmaker, named Alexander David JEtesser, was charged with frequenting a certain place at Pontypridd for the pur- pose of betting. The Betting Act made it an offence for any person to frequent or resort to a place for the purpose of making bets there, it being a place within the meaning of the Act. In this case there might be cer- tain questions of law arising, but these would not effect the grand jury. If they thought the- evidence was clear that Rower frequented the place and had betting slips upon him it was their duty to find a true bill in order that the whole question might be thrashed out before the petty jury.
