To-day's Short Story-- I
To-day's Short Story- JEANNE'S BRAVERY. Felix Larondie had been a French tireur in the great war of 1870. and I liked nothing: better in the evening than to sit and listen to his stories of the terrible time when France lay gasping and bleeding. "After Sedan, monsieur, a meeting was called in our village, and 30 of us enrolled ourselves as a company of Franca-tireurs. We felt  could do more for France as irregu- ¡ lars than serving under incompetent generala. j We were well armed, and a brave and skilful old veteran commanded us. As the Germans j were in force around Metz, we marched in that direction and made our headquarters; in the hilla behind a village called Poncy, about three leagues from the fortress. It waa in Pency Joanne lived, and from the first moment I saw her, monsieur, I said to, myself, 'If fortune is kind, Felix, that girl shall be your wife.' Her father, was the miller of Pency, and the accursed Uhlans had almost ruined him. They were very bitter against the invaders, and my profession made me find favour in her eyes. Before we had been at Pency a month we had plighted our troth, on the understanding that we should not marry until France was rid of the enemy. "Small as cur -band was, we made our- selves a terror to the marauding Uhlans, thanks to the generalship of old Montbon. Jeanne was invaluable to use. She was all eyes and ears, and Montbon called her the 'head of the intelligence department of our band. 'I used to meet her every evening, when it was possible, in a little cave I had discovered, which, having no outlets, was proof against surprise. "We stayed three months at Pency, and then the place became too hot for us, and we prepared to leave for a village some leagues to the south. I fell into the hands of the Bavarians the very evening before we were to leave Pency. "Jeanne declares to this day, and I believe rightly, that I was betrayed by a villager, a young fellow named Odeau, who believed the Virgin hd intended Jeanne for his wife, and who who was ever savage when she refused him. But be that as it may, monsieur, I was seized at dusk that evening as I was on my way to meet Jeanne, and taken so com- pletely by surprise that I had not the least chance of defending myself or trying to escape, and, worse than all, was taken with the rifle in my hand. 'You are an as-ssussin,' said the stout little officer in command in barbarous French. 'You shall be shot. Where are your com- panions ?' But I profeaeed not to understand. I was afraid of being shot on the spot. There was much of the executioner and little of the judge in those days, monsieur. Much to my relief, my arms were bound, behind me, and we set out for the hamlet where the Crown Prince Frederick had his headquarters. "As Fortune would have it, Jeanne met us on the road. Monsieur would gruppoee that Jeanne is a quiet little woman, but monsieur has not seen her thoroughly aroused. She was roused then, monsieur. She flung herself on me and tried to release me. "Then she seized the bayonet of a Bavarian, and, if I had not begged her for my sake to be calm, she would have fought the whole party single-handed. Then she fell to beseeching them, for she could speak Ger- man well; but thev only laughed at her a.nd drove her off with foul words. My heart was like lead then, monsieur. But I did not know Jeanne. I was taken before the prince's adjutant, who promised me liberty if I would betray my compatriots. But I feigned stupidity, and when he found that I would tell nothing he ordered me to be shot at five the next morning. 'We give you till then,' he said, 'to find your tongue. You'll be dumb enough after.' And he laughed. I was bound like a log, monsieur, and thrown into a hot and brutally kicked. My thoughts were not pleasant all this time. I lay thinking of Jeanne, whom I should never Bee again, picturing that, womanlike, she would go home and weep in her helplessness and despair. But I did not know her then. She was working for me with all the energy amd wit of a woman. Jeanne, Jeanne, ma petite, come here." Jeanne came to the door. Oome and tell monsieur how you saved me, ma petite." A blush overspread Jeanne's features. What, that foolish story again?" "Certainly not foolish," I interposed. "I should deem it a kindness if you would oblige me." If monsieur wishes it, and monsieur will allow me, I will get my knitting. "Certainly," I said. "When I saw him carried off," Jeanne ')egan as Goon as she was seated, "I was in lespair, for I knew what his fate would be. And then the good Virgin put an idea into my head, and I prayed to her to give me the! strength and cunning to carry it out. There had been a sharp fight a week before, and I knew Jacques Pellot had possessed < jimaelf of some German uniforms that he aad tr.ken from the dead. So I demanded them from him, and threatened him till he produced them. A sous lieutemaait's uniform Attend me nicely, and after cutting off my hair And concealing a pistol and dagger in my tuni-c, I hurried away. I crept along cautiously when I neared the enemy's lines, for my plan was to get through the sentries without being challenged. When I heard, the pickets I dropped on the grou'nd and crawled like a snake. And yet I was nearly caught. A Germaji officer was leaning against a tree, and I almost touched him. I lay still, without breathing audibly for a long time, how long I cannot say-until he moved away. Then, once inside the lines, I rose up and hastened to the prince's head- quarters. I prayed for courage, and then walked up to the door. I trembled so that I could hardly speak. Fortunately, the officer did not observe my agitation.' 'Take me to his highness instantly,' I said, in my best German. Important dispatches.' 'Who from?' he begun. To his highness, instantly,' I said boldly, but my knees shook under me. He looked at me closely in the dim light, and I felt ready to faint. Then, without a word, he took me to the prince's room. Im- portant dispatches,' he said, knocking and showing lie in. From whom?' asked the prince. In private, may it please- your hig-h- eces, I stammered, but feeling that I would not leave without Felix's life or another for tt. Retire and leave us, H.aupt: said the pri. nce, and the officer, closing the door behind him, obeyed. i "'And now,' said the prince, kindly; 'you ;Looi4 pale L-nd ill, sir. What is your name?' The key wo.9 in the door, and I turned it swiftly. 'And now,' I said, pulling out my pistol and pointing ;t fall at his faoe-my hand did not even tremble at that supreme moment-' your highness,' I said rapidly, 'if you caJ out you are a dead man.' j he waa a Grman. but he was so brave' He did not even wince,, but he looked straight into my eyes and smiled. "'Ah.' he said lightly, 'a stratagem! Who are you, and what do you want?' 'Monsieur 10 prince,' I said. 'I am the daughter of the miller of Pency. My lover, Felix Larondie, was taken by your men to- night as a Francs-tireur. If he is not already dead, he is condemned. I want his life or • you ioee yours, monsieur.' '"A woman!' he said. 'Well done,' and he smiled, and the pistol almost dropped from my hand with the pity of it till I thought of Felix. 'I know nothing of this, my good Woman. No, but atay. Here are some papers Elberfield has left for me to sign. Ah, here it is, Felix Larondie, peasant, taken with arms. To be shot at five a.m.' 'He shall not die, your highness, or'—I could not. threaten him with words, but my pistol was steady. 'But he is fin assassin.' 'No,' I cried; 'he is a soldier, though he does not wear the uniform. Imagine, your highness, I said, 'if I should have dared so m,u00h for a murderer.' 'But he has fought as a not | as a soldier.' 'What of that, monsieur? And if he had I not fought for France in her hour, I would spurn him from me. He must go free, your highness, if you value your life.' 'My life is in the hands of God, made- moiselle,' he said, lifting his eyce to mine. "Ph reats do not move me, but you are a brave woman. "And then my courage left me, monsieur, and I dropped the pistol and flung myself sobbing at his feet. and beseeohed and entreated him. And he raised me, monsieur, and made me drink wine and tell him all Ii the story. All! but he was a brave and a i true gentleman! And when I had told him all he said, He ahall be pardoned,' adding with a smile, Such a devoted woman must not go husbandless.' And then I fell to weeping again, monsieur, and kissed his hand and tried to thank him. And he took me to Felix, and he was released. I flung myself on Felix and cut his bonds myself, and we thanked the prince together. We women don't find out if men are worth it till afterwards, monsieur," with a sly look at her husband. "Three days later an orderley came with a bracelet from his high- ness, and on it was engraved, To a brave and devoted Frenchwoman.' See, I wear it still.' Ah, monsieur, we wept when that noble prince died, and the great doctor could not ave him. We sent a wreath, and I presumed to write to the empress. She is a. worthy laughter of your queen, monsieur. She sent me, a letter written with her own hand. She was worthy of thI6 fcnw and brave gentle- 4"

Spiro, son of Tsutsa, seizes his "yatagam," and rushes like a dragon upon Cettinje and its bank. H,&il, eons of the bank!" he thunders, as he entera. I Welcome, and good luck," replies the cashier behind the grating. "It was bad luck that brought me to ye," answeres Spiro. I need money, and want thee to give me some for this yatagan." "Very well, Spiro, if you leave it here I can give you a florin tor it." "What sayest thou, wretch? Knowest not thou, black-cheeked one! the worth of this yatagan in the hand of Spiro?" Who does not know it, Spiro?" And it thou knowest it. where is thy reason and 'where thy soul when thou darest to offer one florin? Dost know that this yatagan has cut off sixteen Turkish heads ?" "Yes, Spiro, I know; but it is old—see, it's quite rusty." ''T'n.at's no rust, th-on rotten one! It is the blood of the Turks. Give me two florins." "Impossible,. Spiro." "It will either be poetsible, or this yatagan will cut off a seventeenth head." And Srpiro gets his two florins. Yoko, son of Piper-o, bursts in; he wanta to borrow a sum of money. "Good morning to ye, heroes!" he shouts in the usual Montenegrin style. "Good morning," reply the clerks from behind the grating "But wherefore do ye crouch behind those holes like mice in a trap? Is it not a flume for Montenegrin sons to hide thus instead of coming out in the open field?" "Such are the rules, Yoko; but what do you "I want a. little money on this paper." "You can't get it, Yoko; there must be two c'ther signatures here." "What for?" "To vouch for you, man!" "What! Dcst thou not know who I am? Someone to witness for me, when, the whole clan of Fipero stands behind me! One hundred and twelve guns are my witnesses! Thou knowest well what, and who is Yoko Pipero.

To Smoke Meats at Home I Prepare the joint by washing, and after thoroughly drying dust over very lightly with flour. Next place a piece of tin, or other metal, in the bottom of the fireplace, and cover lightly with a layer of brown saw- dust (pine is best), put a few drops of spirits of wine on the sawdust at the outside edge of the grate, and ignite, taking particular care that it only smoulders, and does not flare. Allow a few minutes for the sawdust to get fairly alight and the fumes of the spirit to pass off, and then hang the joint in the chimney, taking care that it does not touch the sides. Open blowers so that a steady cloud of smoke draws up chimney, and replenish sawdust as it lrA-ns away. Eight hours' smoking should be sufficient, but more may be given if desired.

I Very early one morning on Newmarket Heath a miser picked up a roll of bank-notes, which probably had been dropped the night before by some betting man. "Ah! What have you got there?" cried a brother skinflint. "Lucky as usual, I see." "Lucky, d'ye call it?" growled the miser, turning over the notes quickly. "Call it lucky?

ICARDIFPS -BIG -WIN.
ICARDIFPS BIG WIN. I Welshmen Jubilant. The news of the defeat of the Springboks by the Cardiff team yesterday by 17 points to nil was received with great rejoicing by ] Welshmen in all parts of the kingdom. FROM JOHANNESBURG. Congratulatory Cablegram Cardiff's victory over the Springboks yes- terday gave unbounded delight to every Welshman in South Africa, and one indica- tion of it reached the Lord Mayor of Cardiff this morning in the form of the following cablegram from the Cambrian Society, Johannesburg: Eto Cymru am byth. Llon- gyfarchiadau, Cambrian Society." (" Once again, Wales for ever. Congratulations of the Cambrian Society.") The Lord Mayor acknowledged the message in Welsh: "Diolch am Llongyfarchiadau. Arglwydd Faer Oaer- dydd." (Thanks for congratulations. Lord Mayor of Cardiff.") NEATH MAYOR BREAKS THE NEWS I TO THE COUNCIl. At the ordinary meeting of the Neath Town Council on Tuesday afternoon the Mayor (Councillor E. S. Philups) announced that he had been handed a copy m a tele- gram from our representative stating that I Cardiff had won by seventeen points to nil. It was." continued the mayor, a great victory, for Wales was the only country which has provided a club team to defeat the Springboks. What Wales could not do Cardiff had done. He, personally, was not a Welshman, but he was next door to it-he was a Gorniahman and a Celt. All credit to Cardiff for maintaining the honour of the old country." (Applause.) I Congratulations from Ireland I The news was received with tremendous enthusiasm by the Monmouthshire County team, who are touring Ireland. Eulogistic reference was made to the triumph by Dr. Rocyn Jones, who has charge of the party, and at the dinner after the South of Ireland match telegrams of hearty congratulation were sent to Percy Bush and Gwyn Nicholls. Cork sportsmen generally were surprised, and thought Cardiff must have played marvel- lously to defeat such a great team so deci- sively. The Irish press gave Nicholls great praise for his fine display, and said the Car- diff backs were brilliant. S. AFRICANS LEAVE CARDIFF I After the match the two teams dined together at the Queen's Hotel, and at seven o'clock the Springhoks had to depart in order to catch their train for London. Before leaving the hotel the South African players sought the autographs of the Cardiff players, Gwyn Nicholls teing in special request. On leaving the hotel the Springboks were met in St. Mary-street by a huge crowd, and- Mars- burg, the popular hero, was carried shoulder high to the Great Western Railway Station. Hundreds of people were assembled on the platform, and everybody seemed anxious to shake hands as a last farewell with Mr. Carden, Paul Roos, Marsburg, and others among the Colonials. Speaking from the window of the saloon carriage, Mr. Carden said the Springboks were delighted with the hospitality they had received in Wales, and especially in Cardiff, and they would go back to South Africa and tell the Britishers there of their great Welsh welcome and what fine players and real good sportsmen they had in Wales. Though beaten, they were glad to have seen Gwyn Nicholls playing at his best, and also to admit that they had been fairly and squarely beaten by the Cardiff team. Paul Rocs also spoke a few words of con- gratulation to Cardiff upon their decisive victory, and the train steamed out of the station to the strains of Auld Lang Syne and Farewell." Marsburg, the Gracious HOW HE RECOGNISED JOHNNY'S TRY I An incident that probably passed un- notioed on the Cardiff Arms Park yesterday (gays "Old Ref") was thai in the second half, when Johnny Williams scored his great try. It was a great try, to.), and one that must have impressed even tCic&a rabid partisans who can see no good in aught that pertains to Cardiff. When Williams waa left with his finel pass he bad Marsbarg to meet, and I don't think any back in the -world would have viewed that task with any large svmoxmC of equanimity, for Marsburg, sure, is a; holy terror to get by-ras many have found to their cost. When Johnny Williams came up to him on Tuesday, however, it was clear that he had "Marsburg guessing." For once in a way this great back guessed wrong, and "Johnny Bach" was over with as fine a try as ever he scored in his life. Marsburg's popularity is undoubted in tlhis part of the country, but, however great it was, his action in running up to Jclhnny Williams and shaking hands with him enhanced that reputation. It vaea-graciowtl-dng to do—an admission from a great player that he had been fairly bea/tea, ar-d, had the crowd happened to notice it, they would have gone mad over it—as Welsh crowds a.re apt to do. Novel Souvenir of the Tour 1 Not the least interesting feature of the dinner given by the Cardiff Club in honour of the Springboks on Tuesday night was the menu card. The front page showed the arms of Cardiff, with the Red Dragon on one side and the- springbuck of South Africa on the other, and underneath were two hands clasped. Portraits of Mr. W. T. Morgan, president of the Cardiff Club; Mr. W. D. Phillips, 31 past president; Mr. C. H. Carden. manager of the Soutti African team; and Mr. Percy Busb, the Cardiff captain, and Mr. Paul Rnos, the Springbok captain, fill the second page, while the third page is taken np with the menu of the dinner. There were only two toasts—" The King" and "The South African Team." Then oome the names of the two teams which met yesterday. and the two middle pages are devoted to the records of th« two teams up to date. Yes- terday's result is included-rat,her a smart thing, considering that the dinner was held almost immediately at the conclusion of the match. Thus the last menu seen by the Springboks in this country contained a com- plete scoring record of their tour. Excellent portrait groups of the two tea-ms are also given, i.e.. ail the South African pLayers and the actual team which played yesterday for Cardiff, and there is also a fine view of the footbadi ground in the CJardiff Arms Paj-k. Thus the menu card forms a unique souvenir to the South Africans of their tour, and especially of the last match. The card was arranged by Mr C. S. Arthur, and printed by the Western Mail Limited.

BOXING AT CARDIFFI
BOXING AT CARDIFF I There were two interesting boute of boxing at the Badminton Club, Cardiff, on Tuesday might. The first fight saw two youngsters facing one another, one of them young Joe Smith, of London, the Sat. champion of Eng- land, who so far had never been. defeated. However, he had to give best in Cardiff to a really clever boy from Merthyr, young Jen- nings, 5st. ohampion of Wales, who has all the appearance of making his way to the front ramk. The lads made a spirited fight, but the Merthyr boy, who was at a disad- vantage in weight, had the better of it all through, and won easily, after a hard ten rounds. He was much the quicker, and had a very fine defence. The second fight, of twelve two-minute rounds, was between Bill King, of Birming- ham, the Sat. 61b. champion of the Midlands, and young Lilley, of London. In the first round Liiley did a lot of scoring with a good straight left, King being much slower in the exchanges. In the second Li Hey again had the better of it, scoring well with both hands. He once got home a hard right on the body which shook up his opponent considerably. Driving his opponent all over the ring, the Londoner still addled to his points in the third round, and then the fourth saw a fine mix-up. Both men tried hard for a knock- out and King was once brought to his knee with a heavy right. At the end of a very stiff round Lilley had his man rocky, and the call of time was a welcome respite for the Birmingham. lad. The fifth round was a good deed quieter, with Lilley still leading, but King was fighting very gamely, amd for two rounds slightly improved his position. In the eighth, however, Lilley used both left and right with punishing effect, but for the next three rounds seemed content with his long lead and took no risks with his opponent, whose only chance seemed to be a knock-out. In the last round King made a desperate attempt, but his effort was too late, Lilley being declared a well-deserved winner on points. Before this fight Boyo Driscoll, of Cardiff, challenged the winner to a match for 125 a-side. The referee in both oomtests was Mr. Joe White, late of America, who is now connected with the Badminton Otob, where he is tutoring the rising talent.

IPhotographer's Studio j
I Photographer's Studio j I USED FOR BETTING AT CILFYNYDDI I What Police- Saw Through a I Stable Floor At Glamorgan Quarter Sessions at Car- diff to-day (before Mr. 0. H. Jones, chairman, and Mr. John Lowden and Mr. John Isaac) Alexander David Eosser, bookmaker, Ponty- pridd, surrendered to his bail on a charge of using a photographer's studio at Cilfynydd for the purpose of betting on the 25th of September. Mr. Ivor Bowen (instructed by Mr. W. R. Davies) appeared for the prosecu- tion and Mr. St. John Francis-Williams (instructed by Messrs. Harold Lloyd and Cross) defended. Mr. Ivor Bowen stated that tie owner of the studio, a man named Proud, and prisoner appeared before the magistrates, and Proud was fined £25. Rosser, however, elected to be tried by a jury, and was, there- fore, committed for trial. The facts of the case were these. Information having been laid with regard to what was going on at the studio. Inspector Salter and Police-constable Evans entered a stable over which the studio was built early on the morning of the 25th of September. From that position they could see who entered and left the studio, and could also hear any conversation which took place there. About noon Rosser .arrived and went up the steps to the studio, where he had a conversation with Proud. The police officers went upstairs, where they found Rosser with two betting-books num- heJred 1" and 2," in his left 'hand and a pencil in his right. The prosecution sug- gested that one bock was kept by Proud, who took the bets in Rosser's absence, and that the entries were afterwards copied into tho other book. which was kept by tihe prisoner. The police also forand betting slips, two racing ready reckoners, and two racing guides. Police-inspector Salter gave evidence in support of the opening statement, and explained at length the connection between the slips and betting books which were found in the possession of the prisoner. For a period of 27 days previous to the 25th of September the book contained money entries which totalled L289 19s. 9d., of which items amounting to £ 146 7s. ,5d. appeaired opposite the word "Home." Croas-exa-mined, witness admitted that the entries in both books were in the hand- writing of Rcsser. Police-constable William Evans gave corro- borative evidence. MI. St. John Francis-Wildliams: You 'had your photograph, taken at this studio?—Yes, sdr. And then you took a friend there who was pOiotograiphed in nn.iform ?-He was there with me. Is he a policeman?—No. Where did he get his uniform—from you- —Yes, sir. You lent h:m the uniform to be photo- graphed in?-Yes. Mr. St. John Francis-Williams contended that there was no case to go to the jury. There was absolutely no evidence of anybody resorting to the studio for the purpose of betting. As the court was perfectly aware, it was necessary that persons should resort to a plac.e-a message would not do. There waa no evidence that anybody had made a bet there with Proud or Rosspr, or that any money had been received in the house. Mr. Bowen replied on the legal points, and argued that the books and slips proved that betting was going on in the studio. The Ch airman, said he was clearly of opinion that there was a case to go to the jury on the question of resorting a,nd using. Mr. Francis-Williams asked the chairman if he would state a case if necessary. The Chairman said he would make a note of the objection. The jury, after deliberating for about half an hour in private, found prisoner guilty. The court fined defendant E25, with £ 25 costs, X50 in all, or two months' imprison- ment. The Chairman stated that the method adopted in this ca&e was the most mis- ohievotis he knew of. Mr. St. John Francis-Williams asked the court to state a case, but the chairman I declined to do so.
A Well Kept Secret I
A Well Kept Secret I FIVE YEAR OLD OCEAN MYSTERY Huronian sinking fast. Top heavy. One side under water. Good-bye, mother and sister.—Charles ALcFall, greaser." If this message be true it is the first tidings received, after a lapse of five years, of a great ocean tragedy. The message was in a bottle cast up at a gentleman's (feet as he was walking along the seashore at Ca.stlerock, on the north coast of Ireland, a few days ago. The bottle had been securely corked, and contained an envelope on which the above brief but tragic words had been hastily written in pencil. It was on February 11, 1902, that the big cargo boat, the Bteamei: Huronian, of the Allan Line, left Glasgow with only one passenger for St. John, New Brunswick. From that day she disappeared, and nothing has been heard of her till this bottle was washed up the other day. A fireman (or greaser), named M'Fall, was on board the ill- fated vessel. The early days of February, 1902, were re.moarkable for the/severity of the weather, terrific storms raging in the Atlantic. When the vessel became overdue, the cruiser Tha.mea was despatched to the North Atlantio in search, but returned to Queens- town on May 11 with no news. In this last message from M'Fall to his mother and sister-for whom search is being made—comes the first news of the ship which was given up only after months cf rumour amd anxiety.

J Marriage by Advt. ——* I
J Marriage by Advt. —— I EXTRAORDINARY SEQUEL. Nearly two years ago Thomas Burke, a native of Dublin, who possessed property-of the 'estimated value of .65,000 advertised in the newspapers for a wife. A prepossessing young girl, named Bridget Dunne replied, and Burke, anxious to clinch ma-tters at onoe. drove up the following morning to see the lady. He remained to dinner, exhibited a deposit receipt for L1.000 or so to show that he was no (penniless adventurer, and during the next few days showed his sincerity and his affection by purchasing various costly pre- sents, such as a gold watch and chain and silver fox muff, and bestowing them on the young lady. There were also bangles and trinkets and such like trifles. I The World went Very Well Matters progressed so rapidly that within ten days he gave C20 to defray the expenses of the wedding, and they were married. The marriage seems to have been quite a happy one. Burke, who had previously been of a roving disposition, bought house property, and was apparently quite settled down." His mother-in-law went to live with them, and all went well, but suddenly the old roving fancy seized Burke, and the next chapter was told when he turned up in Aus- tralia without any particular prospect of making a living. Eventually he was taken in hand by the Salvation Army and provided with work, but later he displayed symptoms of weak-mindedness, and was put under restraint. The Salvation Army communicated with their branch in Dublin, and, having ascer- taind the whereabouts oc his relations there, sent him home at the request of his wife and mother-in-law. The latter went to meet him at Tilbury Docks, defrayed all expenses, and the unfortunate man having been cer- tified to be insane, was placed in an insti- tution near London, where he still remains. This is the kernel of the story, elicited in court, yesterday, when Mrs. Isabella Duune. the mother, was charged with stealing from the daughter's house a portion of a set of harness, the head of a sewing machine, four car cushions, a gramophone, a child's pelisse, a cloak, a quilt value C8, a silver tray, and Ian outside oar value JE20. Evidenoe having been given Mrs. Dunne was remanded.

Mark I wain's Double. ^j
Mark I wain's Double. I A LIFE LONG HAUNT The New Year's birth gave New Yorkers am excuse for frantic freaks. One of the liveliest parties was a-t the house of Mark Twain, who welcomed his gneets attired in grotesque costume, and tied securely to a smaLl person in the garb of Satan. Mark explained that the little, bad man, who was represented on one side, was h.is double personality, who had haunted him all his life. When he was Mark Twa.in, his original self, he was proper company for anybody; but when the other p-art of him got the upper hand there was no accounting for what might happen. As Marl- Twain thiij taiked his Satanic half took a sly nip at a small bottle. Mr. CLemens detected the act, and remarked that this was the sort of deception he had had to oontend against since a child. He had made all sorts of resolutions for the New Year, but was plagued with the fear that the other Little man would break them. Frequently during the evening the figure was made to turn on a switch which con- nected with a new "telharmonium," which Mr. Clemens calls his "electric music faotory," and the rooms vibrated with chiming bells and musical selections. I Millionaires and Pigs Erven more ecoemtric was the ba-nqnet given by Mrs. Minnie Fiske Griffen to her mil- lionaire friends and their pets at Chicago. Ten of them brought prize pigs daintily decorated with ribbons. The pigs, which belonged to the four-footed species, and were of unimpeachable ancestry, were seated beside the human guests at a gorgeous ban- queting table, and were regaled with aspa-ragus tips and Brussels eprouta with, Lyonnaise dressing. Other guests were a gamecock of high degree, whoee occasional remarks were loudly applauded, a pink-eyed rabbit with a powder- puff for a tail, a pouter pigeon, a poll parrot, a chameleon, which was fed with bottled flies from Florida, a Boston terrier, a squirrel, and an Angora cat. Comparisons between the table manners of the human and animal guests were (says the "Daily Mail") taboo as tactless.

THE TALK OF CARDIFF. CURED FOR 6 MONTHS. Er TIlls IS Story It Should Never be Forgotten that Stabbing or Dull Pain in the Back, Rheumatism, Gravel, Dropsy, are all the [ Result of Weak or Diseased Kidnevs. Mr. Arthur T. Penny, 16, Orchard-place, Severn-road, Canton, Cardiff, Bays I am still free from the kidney complaint, and have kept quite well ever since Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cured me, nearly six months ago. I can confirm all I have said in my letter, and I have recom- mended the pills to my friends." The following is the letter which Mr. Penny refers to: -"Dear sirs,-I am thankful to say I have received great benefit from Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and I can honestly recommend the medicine. About six months ago I was taken with a dreadful pain in my back, just over where the kidneys are. As time went on the pain got worse, and at Last I had to give up work. I had medical treatment, but did not get any relief. "I was advised to give Doan's Pills a trial, and I am glad I did, for they soon restored me to splendid health. I always tI keep a. few of the pills by me, and when. ever I feel a little out of sorts I take a dose, truly never f&ila to do me good.-Vours truly, (Signed) Arthur T. Penny." COMMON SENSE. It is no use curing the symptoms of a disease; they will return. You must cure the cause; then you will be permanently cured. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cure diseased kidneys, which are the cause of Dropsy, Urinary and Bladder Troubles, Rheumatism, Gravel, Stone, Backache, and Pains in the Loins and Limbs. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are 2/9 a box, or IJ/9 for six bOxes. They cannot be bought loofto, but only in the boxes, which mAy be had of all chemiuts and stores, or, post free, direct from the Foster-M'Clellan Company, 8, Wells-street, Oxford-street, London, W.

Afterwards came a walk to the war museum, a plain talk to the generals, and the issue of the new year's password. Family luncheon came next. Then State calls and a gala performance of royal opera at night.

I and prevents inSt?tmi??tio? or disease. MB?OMEt I ,Few people can boast of a skin healthy enough to weather' ?sZj?mB i ('cold, frosty day, or the typical foggy, sleety ? days of an English ?NjmHjj?T) I winter. The effect of biting winds, keen, dry cold, and penetrating <)))?? | dampness is seen in rough, blotchy faces, chafed cheeks, chapped, wWW ? hands, and cold?sores. Every second person you meet shows need for ?N ? dressings with Zam?Buk, the soothing and strengthening skin^balm.  ? Zam-Buk is the ideal dressing for the skin at this season, being protective as well ?BHtB 1 as corrective. It will make and ?? your skin soft, smooth, clear, and healthy, even ?!??? ? if it has fallen a victim to the serious skin diseases that afflict body and limb in the winter. '???H! | These latter, such as gouty eczema or burning eruptions on chest and back, are ?NM I extremely prevalent because the skin does not get enough ventilation in winter. Heavy ?g ? clothing and indoor confinement choke or poison the pores, the oil and sweat glands Wi ? are not active enough to maintain a workable flexibility of the tissues, and the Jl| ? circulation is impeded. As a consequence the skin becomes stiffened, scaly,  ? and ill-nourished—an easy prey to disease germs or poisonous substances. ?jMS????? 1 Make liberal applications of Zam-Buk over rough patches or nasty sores, iKa!   1 however insignificant. They are Nature's danger signals, and it is wise to be t?KN?M ? prompt in your response with Zam-Buk, remembering that chronic eczema ???????JJHJ? ? is frequently due to winter neglect, and that obstinate ulcers are, in the ja???????? jgt first instance, simply a breakdown of tissue that has got "below par." gIg S By the use of Zam-Buk proper moisture is ensured, and blood is <<!?jH!   H induced to circulate more freely near the surface, thus enabling the skin to ? ?JjBjJjBjjBjfMBB?a!??B?EsS! ? get proper nourishment once more. Normal activity and strength are .???Nj?BH????M I |< eventually restored, and in the end the skin is bound to become healthy,  moist, and velvet-like,—strong and supple enough to keep unchapped, 1 and free from disease in the most severe weather. | Zam-Buk is of inestimable value where a serious skin disease such tJ?H?????M?BLJH  as winter eczema has already developed.
