The Field Of IInnor.

Settling disputes of all kinds with
fists seems still to be extremely popular
in juvenile circles.
Yesterday as l was hurrying along n
pretty street in a suburban village a
group of four boys came in sight. They
were apparently doing nothing assidu-
ously after the manner OF boys. All
OF them were under seven years old.
They seemed to be discussing some
thing or other in the quietest fashion,
until was nearly up 70 them. Then,
quick az a lightning fash, the smallest
boy of them all drew back a little and
sent his very small left fist into the
face of the boy nearest 10 him. For
directness and speed the blow was
worthy of Sullivan. IL caught the
assailed party on the nose, and the
blood flowed at once.
As | reached the group | heard the
young pugilist say: IL don't allow any
man to call me n burned fool.

tired arm and vie with each other in
belaborring the guilty man; guilty
mind you, not OF stealing but of being
found out; and for several days after
wards this wretched man was thumped
and showed about at every opportunity.
AT last we succeeded in getting our
cargo on board. but not before the
Galena and Ossipee had left. We had,
therefore, TO trust 10 luck in getting
out, and in order to accomplish which
we determined TO start at eleven in the
evening. During our stay at Gonaives
the ship had swung round every day
before the land and sea breezes which
blow regularly at night and in the
middle OF the day, and when we went
TO haul up our anchor we found il
fouled. This necessitatcd long delay
and the engineer had 10 blow off
steam, which could be heard miles off
in the still tropical night. We were
therefore not surprised TO see black
smoke OF gunboat on our port quar-
ter as we emerged from the harbor,
evidently trying to cut us off. How
ever, we piled on steam and soon had
the satisfaction Of seeing the gun boat
growing smaller and smaller. The
old Teviotdale was about the slowest
ship / ever was on board of vet we
seemed TO leave her as If she was
standing still. We had scarcely fin
ished congratulating ourselves upon
our narrow escape before we saw an
other cruiser coming right across our
bows. This time it would have been
utterly impossible TO escape, but either
awed by our size or mistaking us for a
northern cruiser, she turned tail and
we saw her no more. 1t was thus that

lieve that anyone else can run it as

Victorien Sardou. the celebrated
French dramatist, was born in Paris
Sept. z, 1881. At first he studied
medicine, but was obliged on account
of poverty, to give private lessons.
He also made attempts in literature,
writing articles for several reviews
and minor journals. His first comedy
1.-The Students Tavern" proved a
complete failure and in 1857 Sardou
was in state OF great distress. He
was living in a garnet and was pros
trated by an attack of typhoid fever,
but neighbor, Miss De Brecourt,
cursed him during his illness, from
which he slowly recovered. He mar
ried this young lady in the following
year, and through her influence was
introduced TO a number of prominent
actors and authors, and since then his
path 10 success has been unbroken by
any obstacles

The visit Of Emperor William OF
Germany to England can scarcely be
expected TO make the English people
forget the attitude Of the Emperor to-
ward his mother upon his accession to
the throne. British sympathy was
then and is now with the daughter of
the Queen, and the widow of Freder-
lex. There was always German
jealousy and dislike for the wife of
Frederick, and This has been intensi-
fed by the German sympathy with the
discourtesy William has heaped upon
his mother. OF course the Emperor
was royalty received and entertained
during his stay in England. The
Prince OF Wales met him, and the
Queen kissed him upon both cheeks,
but that does not indicate the senti-
ment OF. the British toward him, which
will always Remain adverse. II the
Emperor Frederick had lived, and he
and Victoria had made visit to Eng

press OF Germany, their reception

The market is still strong, with good
