Malplaquet. In the elegant seclusion Of
Blenheim, however, which agratefu. nation
voted to her husbands great ancestor, she
will be able to learn something of the
history of the Churchill family, from the
great duke himself to his sister who was
the mistress Of King James III. In view of

brutal wife beater It requires no occult
wisdom to draw the horoscope of the un-
fortunate woman who has just cast her lot
with his. She deserves no sympathy how
ever, for she went into the dsreputable
bargain with her eyes open. That he will
squander her millions, beat, abuse her and
eventually discard her and drive her back
to the United States there is little doubt if
the man is true to his nature. Then, when
ruined in fortune, broken in health, crush

land, she will curse the evil hour when she

Perhaps Dr. Parker, in the safe seclusion

few are chosen.
The other day, Fred May, who is one of
our golden youth, got drunk and amused
himself by insulting ladies in the street.
A policeman tried to arrest him and he did
his best to shoot the policeman, but One OF
the Finest was too much for him, he
knocked the pistol out CT his hand with his
club and then lie proceeded to ornament
his mug after manner only known to the
elite of our metropolitan force. Mr.. May
