quite scornful. Says he in a soft, oily

A Ludicrous Reception

THE husband of lady living in the
West Division had occasion recently to
make a short journey into the country.
Upon taking his departure he informed
his wife that, if he failed TO reach home
by ten o'clock that evening, she need not
expect him until the next day. The
hour named passed by, when the timid
little woman prepared TO retire, AS
slight precaution against burglars she
placed a large pistol conveniently near
her bed. She then searched the pantry
and found the carving knife, a huge
butcher knife and another weapon,
cross between broadsword and Il
butchers cleaver. These preparations
completed, she with her little daughter
were Just about retiring, when-hotrors
upon horrors steps were heard In
lower hall of the domicile. Tbs
mother hastily seized the pistol and
the largest Knife, and, bidding me
! little daughter take the two remain
inC instruments of death, silently
stole into the most remote corner ot
| the room to await events. The steps
came nearer, momentarily growing more
distinct. with each of which the hearts OF
the watchers beat, OF rather thumped,
time. Presently the door was heard
opening in a stealthy manner, and the
steps OF the intruder bent toward the
spit where stood the now thoroughly
terrified females. The bedroom door
was gently pressed back, and just as
mother aud daughter were about to en-
danger their lungs by prolonged screams
the husband and father anticipated then
f, by loud laugh of astonishment at Tho
ludicrous scene. His mirth was equally
aroused upon making the discovery Una
the pistol was not loaded l-ChIeago Jouf

81 conversed," says writer, "with
racist to-day. He told me how he won
race in New Haven. For four weeks he
mixed soft rubber with the horses oats
and every day he hitched that horse to a
post and opened blue cotton umbrella
In his face, making him pull back,
stretching his neck awfully. Then he'd
shut his umbrella, the horse would stop
pulling and his neck would resume Its
original length. He got the horses neck
very elastic, and on the day OF the race
as his horse and the other horses were on
the home stretch, side by side, just at the
finish, the driver struck this mans horse
a blow behind his ears, and his neck
shout out almost rod, winning the race
by neck. 1t is said to be the biggest

RECENT experiments performed by
Endemann exhibit the fact that, If meat
be cut in slices and exposed in a room
the air of which is heated to 140 degrees,
and is allowed to enter and escape only
through cotton filters, it will become so
dry in three hours time that il can be
ground. Since the albumen and fDrin
are not coagulated, the meat loses none
of its nutritive properties by this process

The Last Years Of Dickens.
Now York Times London Letter. !

Nov York Times London Letter.
The third and concluding volume of Mr.
Forster's Life Of Dickens has Just been pub
lished. 1t presents melancholy picture OF
decaying powers, morbid unrest, and cor
roding discomfort 1t may be doubted
whether Dickens, who is supposed by many
OF his readers to have been one of the most
genial and jovial of men, was ever happy
man but it would certainly appear that in
his latter years he was supremely wretched.
AS younger man, his animal spirits and
vanity helped to take him ont of himself
lie was satisfied only when he had an ad-
mlrlng company around him. He was, in
fact, essentially an actor, and miserable
without an audience, and his gaiety was
forced and histrionic. There was no repose
about his character. He could never en-
dure to be simple and plain and natural !;
he wanted to be always fire works. At
home lie was seen at his worst, suffering
from the reaction of excitement in com
paDy, and weary with his elaborate efforts
Go amuse and startle. Mr.. Forster passes
as gently as he can over the domestic mis-
adventures of his hero. 1t is not a
pheasant page, and one is glad to turn it,
Dickens was always fond of the hustle and
change of travelling and after l $50 his
restlessness seems to have become almost a
mania. He had notions of burying himself
Tor whole six months in some of the re-
cesses OF the Pyrenees, or of spending a
winter in some elevated and secluded con-
vent in the Alps. His work had evidently
begun to tell on him. His invention was
less fertile, his composition less spontane-
Gus. 1t had become m effort for him to
write, and lie was haunted by the fear,
which was partly true, that his prime was
over and that he would never again be
what he had been. He had, in fact, lost
his elasticity of mind. All this necessarily
gives rather bad tone to this concluding
volume but Dickens, though he confessed
himself to his friend, vas the more resolute
IN showing bold face to the world, and
his letters are full of dash and humor. lie

finally killed him had apparently been i'm

IThe Hero of the waterford Victory of 1896

The Grave has closed upon u man whose
name will long be identified in grateful
Irish memory with the first heavy blow
struck at Orange domination in Ireland
and at Catholic prescription in the United
Kingdom. 1t was by the chivalry of Henry
pilliers Stuart, supported by the Catholic
Association, that the baleful ascendency of a
bad faction. then symbolized in the name
of Beresford, was shake n to it's base. Never
was n grander fight fought, never was a
nobler victory won for the cause of civil
and religious liberty than that of which
Waterford was the scene in the summer
of 1926. That victory was the precursor of
Catholic Emancipation, and OF that TIL
umph Henry Villiers Stuart was the hero
Without his aid the popular battle against
Curraghmore, then the stronghold OF
Orangeism in the South of Ireland, though
could not have been fought. The defeat of
Lord George Beresford was the opening to
the Glare election, of June, 1923, and
therefore to Catholic Emancipation. And
10y one of those strange condolences that
happen in life, it 30 has happened that
che very measure which Henry Filliers
Stuart contributed 30 much to force against
tremendous opposition to successful issue
forty five years ago, now enables his near
relative, and the head of his house, the |
Marquis OF Butte, to take his seat in the
House of Lords. Towards the close of the
Administration OF Lord Melbourne, MI
Nilliers Stuart was raised to the peerage
by the title of Lord Stuart de Decies, of
the United Kingdom. He was, paternally,
the grandson of the Marquis of Butte, who
was First Lord of the Treasury at tho &C
cession of George ILL.,, and, materially, the |
grandson of the last Earl of Grandson,
whose daughter and heiress, the Lady Ger |
trude Nlliers, his father, Lord Henry !
Stuart, married, and whose large estates,
principally situated in Waterford, he in
herited His only son was a beneficial
clergyman of the late Irish Established
Church, but he resigned his living" un-
frocked" himself, as Queen Elizabeth
would have said-under the provisiobs of
recent Act of Parliament; and, as q lay
man, got returned to the late House of
Commons, upon the resignation of his seat
for Waterford county by Count de la Poer.
