a Strl1pple With Weasels,

A correspondent of The 81. James's
Gazette writes: In connection with your
account of a game-keeper' struggle
with weasels l may say that it is not
uncommon for the latter to attack hui
man beings; and many years ago, when
bird-nestirg as a boy, l had 4 narrow
escape from a colony of them. None
managed to get as high as my jugular,
or l should possibly not have lived to
pen this; but my hands were severely
bitten in catching and tossing them
aside as / ran through the wood to
where number of foresters were en-
ployed. When from want of trapping
they are allowed to "colonize" in old
turf embankments they become very
bold, and of course are fcarfully de-
structive to game. They are rank
towards so far as their own kind is con-
cerned, and / have frequently "bolt-
ed them with small unmuzzled fer
ret and shot them as they ran. Their
great failing is their curiosity, and,
long after you have seen one disappear
| in hole in a stone wall, he is sure tc
be watching you from some vantage
point. If you have a gun and have
missed your opportunity, stand stock
| still for two or three minutes and lool
carefully all around. Soon his hea'
and outstretched neck will be seel
somewhere, and charge of shot will
fix him to the spot.

The Glamour of a Consulship.

There is no denying the glamour OF
q consulship till you get there. A
vague sense of authority that rivals
that of the president, pleasant feeling
of power that satisfies the cruel craving

down and punish him or forgive him.
A consul is big man, but it depends
very materially whore he goes. knew
an American consul once who had
nothing in the wide world to do except
to ship sailors stamp certified invoices,
and put the mail in bags and send il
aboard the steamers. He got few
hundred dollars year salary, and the
marshal got all the fees and fines, which
were very large for small place.
| That they were large was entirely due
| to his enterprise and energy in develop
| ing the business. 1t was currently
believed that he had special arrange
ment with the two saloons in the place
so much for each drunken sailor
and the calaboose was generally occu-
pied. But with all these drawbacks
against him, having all the responsible
ity and the marshal getting all the
profit, the exaltation of the consul
position was still such as to lay him
open to scandal. There being no funds

The Coming Struggle.

1t is not matter Of surprise that
sentiment of uneasiness should prevail
throughout Europe as to the mainten-
ance of peace. On the other hand,
the wonders is that the Treaty of Ber-
lin should have survived so long. The
principal business of the different gov
ernments has been for years the train
inc of soldiers 1t is estimated that
there are now with the colors in Europe
very nearly 4,000,0 of men, rather
more than 81 per cent of the adult male
population. This tremendous arma-
ment forebodeS war. Recent estimates
show that Russia is spending 1925, 0O0,-
600 a year on her army and navy;
France, $500, 900; Great Britain,
$3.50, 100000; Germany, 800, 900, 900;
Austria, $50, 900, 600; Italy, $50, 900, 900;
Turkey, $33O,OO0,O00; Spain, $50, 0O0,-
900. These Powers spend together the
enormous sum of S845, O00 900 annual
ly in preparing for war. Can any one
believe that faith manifestiug itself
| by such works rs these can be mistaken?
There are 100000, 900 arguments adj
vanced each year in support of the
thesis that great European struggle is
imminent Who can doubt it in the
face of such reasoning? This is the
logic that gives such signal significance
to the closing of the port of Batoum,
to the intrigues in Bulgaria, and to the
differences about the Afghan frontier.
The Old World is simply awaiting the
touch of the torch to burst into a con-
flagration the like of which has not been
since the era of Bonaparte. The ma
tons have been making ready the ma
terials long enough; the time impendi
when the blaze will roar and roll ovel
the continents. -St. Louis Republican.

The poverty of these farmers among

Such pleasant, aged face, and such
soft, old voice! Vesta stepped nearer to
the big bush and the little woman.
II haven't any pail, !" she said. "Let
me help you fill yjurs."
She had grown quite familiar with the
old lady in the shaker-bonnet in half an
hour, and the two-quart pail was nearly
full of the ripe purple fruit when voices
drew near.
"Huckleberries, indeed / wouldn't
touch the dirty things for the world
staining ones fingers and getting bugs on
your clothes! Ugh! Where is Vesta2
Oh, there she is, hard at it, with some
hideous old woman she has picked up"
Amelia and Miss Catherwood ap-
preached, and John st. Rose was with
them.
"Are you enjoying yourselfl" he asked,
cheerily, of the old lady; and then he
added: "Allow me to present you to my
mother, ladies'"
Mrs. st. Rose took off the shaker-bon-
net, and showed her lovely old face
flushed softly with the exercise and ex
ertion.
SIT has been most novel and delight
full afternoon, john" she said. "And
it is an unusual experience for you, too,
is it not2" turning to the Others, with a
look of gentle inquiry. But there was
something in the keen blue eyes which
mace amelia understand that she had
been overheard by the hideous old woman,
The latter took her sons arm, while he
took the pail of huckleberries, and tho
party walked slowly out of tbs Pasture.
That evening, young st. Rose said:
"Well, mother those are the Misses
Wylie wrote you of. How do you like
them2" !,
'The youngest is dear little thing.
should like her for daughter"
81 was not prepossessed in her favor"
Now, as there was nobody In the world
John st. Rose thought so much of as his
beautiful little old mother, it is not to
be wondered at that these remarks made
the deepest impression upon him. He
had always thought Vesta pretty. Now,
as he looked at her brown eyes and mod
est brow, he loved her. And there and
then-fresh from huckleberrying-he re.
solved to win her.
Vesta Is the young mistress Of the ele-
giant St. Rose mansion in the city now
She is her husbands pride-his old
mothers darling. The latter tells how
John met her at the station; how she
was seized with a fancy to join the ber-
rying party who started from the hotel
the next day; and what an enchanting
little creature she found Vesta from the
first So some people were very happy,
while others were disappointed, but Mrs
Wylie eongratulates herself on the stroke
of policy which has married one of her
daughters "well''-overiookimg Vesta's

liza is still on her hands. s.-Frank Leslis's.
