THERE has always been a doubt both
in the United States and Great Britain
as to whether these two nations, bound
together by so many ties of kinship and
of common interest, were entitled to
describe one another rs foreign. An
English court of law has, however, just
issued decree which definitely settles
this much disputed question. A lady
was left legacy of some $4,000 last
Christmas, on the condition that she
marry neither foreigner nor any one
of the name of Smith. The lady, how
ever, chose to wed an American, and
the executors of the will at once de-
clared that she had forfeited the legacy
by marrying a foreigner. The defense
put forward that Americans were not
included in that category was overruled
by the English court of probate, which
has decided Ouce and for all that Ameri-
cans are foreigners.

Thirty or forty years ago says the
Richmond State, New Orleans mob up
rose In behalf Of . negro slave and
undertook to avenge his cruel treatment.
Not only this-they pursued and would
have hanged the owner Of the unf0rtu-
nate slave. That owner was . beauti-
full woman, immensely wealthy. and the
giver of sumptu0us entertainments.
The story Is one Of the most thrilling In
the history of the city. Itwas whispered
that the lady In the case ill-treated GER
tain of her slaves, kept them chained
in . dungeon, and subjected them to
starvation. She was, however, . woman
of great wealth and influence, and man
aged to quiet these rumOrs.
A fire occurred on her estate, whether
started by some Of the slaves or not Is
not recalled. When citizens flOcked to
the place and began to tear down the
burning building the awful evidence OF
the maltreated slaves met their eyes.
One of the poor creatures was chained.
The fury of the mob was fearful. They
besieged the palace Of the beautiful
woman, who, with unparalleled bOldness,
ordered her cOachman to drive to her
door, dressed in her most brilliant cos
tune, and, with as much cOmpOsure as
if she were taking her usual evening
drive, stepped in and directed her coach
man to whip up his horses. The mob
followed, but she distanced them. She
managed to make one of the ships In the
harbOr and escaped to Paris.

Baby's Sleeping Time

be turned over after he had slept for an
hour or two OH one side? When he
stretches and wriggles. aud finally, per-
haps, cries ont, try turning him on his
other side. or almost on his beck, and
see ii he does not relapse into another
sound nap without further effort on your
part. Do not forget to turn the pillow
over also sometimes. The one or two
year old who wakes in the night and
sits up in bed, rubbing his little fists in
his sleepy eyes, feels. perhaps. hot d
uncomfortable. Try turning his pillow
If he IL like some children the Wxiter
knows of, he will wait for the sound of
the turning and then drop back on it
into renewed sleep. Remember, a'so.

clothes and smoothing the cover has
much to do. with quiesng the restless
tossings of the little sleeper.

Whit, in Hampshire, by a family named

To be plain, Miss Hilder, because I do

Tho Adventures q Three Children and .
California Lion.
WHISPERED to the other children to
lie still, because We had no place to
hide in, nor was it any use to climb q
tree, for the California lion will climb
like cat. So We saw the lion finish
his meal on our OK. It grew very light,
near sunrise, before he took any notice
of us, where We sat under the ox-cart.
As soon as he saw us he walked up very
close, with curious, wondering express
sion on his face, and went all about the
cart, looking us over, and making .
purring sound. We sat close and had
our arms about one another. but We did
not say q word. He then came up SO
close that felt his breath on me, and
finally he put his nose against my an
kle Ihad no stockings on, only home
made shoes, and his nose felt very
strange, and made me expect to be
eaten up at once. But thoughtit it best
to lie still and not cry out.
After what seemed long time, the
lion went back and lay down by the
dead OK, about o hundred feet distant,
keeping his eyes on us most of the time.
He sometimes walked around the OK;
then he came off little way to spring;
then he came back and walked around
the cart. At last he lay down again by
the OK, shut his eyes, and seemed asleep.
The sun was now high, and We were
very hungry and thirsty. but when we
moved little to rest our limbs the lion
opened his eyes and looked very bad.
We lay there under the cart all the
morning, and until about the middle of
the afternoon, and the lion lay under
the shade of tree, watched us, ate
some more beef, and went to the spring
as often as he chose. Then about 3
O'Clock mother and Jose, the peon. came
down from the coast way, and when they
were on the ridge, they could look into
the canyon and see the whole situation
at q glance-the lion, the dead OF, the
cart. and the three of US huddled to-
gether under it. Jose ran forward and
fired two shots, woundiug the lion, but
he got away in the rocks.-Century.

Office from one of his long rounds of de-

consequence was that great firm failed
