dressed a meeting in Lincolnshire
last evening. He said thunder

and that sooner or later it would

most horrible war ever known. 1t
was impossible to view the prepa-

throughout Europe without feeling
that war was approaching. He
hoped, however, that the wisdom

-Advices from Alaska say the
winter there has so far been a very
discouraging one to the people OF
the territory, owing 10 the Sc.

storm since 1875 occurred this
winter, and owing to the depth OF
snow upon the ground, traders and
hunters have undergone a great

She Slated Him.

There was rather sensational attempt
at burglary the other night at Minneapo-
lis, MINI. Mr.. jackson, foreman in the
blacksmith shop at the Industrial works,
recently fell heir to a very large fortune
from the old country. The other day
some inquisitive stranger, to whom Mr..
Jackson gave little attention, asked him
if the expected legacy had yet arrived.
He was dismissed with a brief answer,
and the matter would probably have been
forgotten were it not for the startling
events which followed.
That very night, some time after 12
o'clock, Mrs. jackson was awakened by
a noise at one of the windows in the bed
room in which she and her husband were
sleeping. This frightened her, but fright
was increased to terror at the sight of a
man stealthily creeping over the window
sill into the room.
The plucky little woman never delayed
proceedings by stopping to scream or
shake her husband, but, springing to
the floor, grasped convenient bed slat,
swung it with the grace and force of a
professional baseball player, made hit
the first time, and with resounding
whack sent the stunned intruder back
through the window. Her temerity was
followed by natural reaction, and it
was noon before she recovered her nerves
sufficiently to tell what had occurred.
The open window and blood on the bed
slat suggested that there had been serious
trouble, which was fully explained when
Mrs. jackson was able to tell her story.

An American visiting English clubs is
sure to be surprised at the number of
titles he hears. Besides the nobility
nearly every one seems to have special
handle to his name. Colonels are not
quite as numerous as in Kentucky or
Georgia, but for captains and majors we
can't hold a candle TO them. But it was
reserved for me, an American, to "knock
them out" on rank in a most unexpected
manner. An old waiter-an ex-soldier-
at the Savage, called me Marshall several
times one evening, and was reprimanded
by one of the members for addressing a
guest by his first name. "Iiis namel"
exclaimed the old fellow, looking aston
ished-and then turning said, "Why,
your honor, l thought marshal his
rank" General Grant prophesied that
l should be a general, but the old waiter
went him one better, and the title stuck
to me for awhile, too.--Marshall P.
Wilder's Book.
