 THE LONDON JoHNNlES.
Sons of British Noblenen Shock Polite so-
 ciety by Their Goinga ca.


 Polite society in London has had an. other severe shock ill the announcement that one of the most eligible young men in the matrimonial market has engaged himself to pert young person playing a second rate part at the Gaiety theater The gentleman is Majoribanks, the eld-. est son of Lord Tweedmoutb, one of the wealthiest of peers, and the lady is Mist Birdie Sutherland, better known per haps as the sister of Lily Harold, the comedienne and singer of plantation songs, at present graeing the Drury Lane pantomime Nobody has ventured to suggest that these two young women are not as good and virtuous as they are undeniably pretty, and it is fact that they reside ill genteel suburb with their widowed mother and frequently take part in local church charity con eerts, but all that, with additional proof of severe responsibility afforded by the fact that their father was clerk i'll the Bank of England, is scarcely sufficient to justify their ambition to contract an alliance with family the head of which is member of the British cabi- net.
 Lord Iweedmouth asked newspaper mon i'll tho commons lobby to contradict the report of his sons engagement, from which it may be assumed that he succeeded ill arranging matters But it would not be at all surprising if the match would be ratified after all. Young Majoribanks, who is familiarly known to tho habitues of the Gaiety theater as ',the Skipper, " celebrated his majority tho other day.
 This infatuation is probably the result of the latest fad among the London Johnnies, who indulge ill exciting ri- valry to score the highest possible num- Der of attendanees in the front row of tho stalls where the most popular enter tainment is given. There is declared to be the finest aggregation of female love- liness just now ill 'tThe Shopgirl' on the Gaiety theater stage that was ever achieved i'll London. The same individ- uals fill tho front stalls night after night. They are either very young or very old, but the young ones predomi- nate. The Sun reporter in the lobby the other evening heard young Majoribanks boast to another sprig of nobility that it was his sixty second attendance. The other appeared quite orestfallen. He said it was only his forty fifth Lon don Cor. New York Sun.

British Provincial Newspapers Say the Xan-
 kee Hates to Pay What He Owes.
 Some British provincial newspapers have been commenting, with considera- ble asperity, upon what they regard as American sharp practice over the Paris Boring award. All are possessed with the idea that the British lion has been fooled and think it is time he began growing. The Newcastle Journal, 8 Tory newspaper not without influence, tho other day made these sage remarks:
 Tt goes against the Yankee grain either to hand over money illegally ob- tained or money due by contract or the award of arbitrators What with being kept out of our Alabama surplus money, paying for tho costly Boring sea inquiry and still waiting for compensation for the seizure of British sealing vessels, this country may woll regard American arbitration as a kind of Heads I win, tails you lose game, at which wo should in future refuse to play without some guarantee against being deceived by a rigmarole Of phrases and legal yerbiage into fresh losses and damages in addi- tion to those which first led to the con- troyersies i'll relation to the Boring sea fisheries and the Canadian fisheries long ago. y

Strange to tell, the familiar term of Lent has nothing in it's origin significant of fasting It is derived from the Saxon term-lengthen, tide or spring-the time when each successive day steals few minutes from it's night In English literature we have repeated allusions to Jack O Lent, sort of puppet, general ly personated as lean and ragged scare crow, which boys jeered and threw stones at, much as the Guy Hawkes. of later days was treated.

Things that require steady labor, he
writes to the same correspondent, "there

are the coal heaving part of our life and
to be done with a slow step and bent

which require genius to do are done
easily if you have the genius. If you are

making active preparations for the break
fast which must be served within two
hours to 700 hungry people.
When the three wagons have drawn

Robert CoIlyer's Father.

And now about my father, writes the
Rev. Robert Collyer, d. D., in The La
dies Home Journal I think still he
was as good a smith as I have ever
known, a man who would forge no lie
in iron or steel, with soft, steadfast
brown eyes, strong and sinewy arms to
labor and never sick a day I can re-
member, always at his work until he
fell dead that day with the hammer in
his hand. Blacksmiths, think, are usu-
ally silent men. The old Beechers were,
as have heard, who were Of this craft,
silent men who left the pent up speech to
their sons and grandsons. This was my
father also. He was silent man, while
both father and mother were as free
from contagious and infections as the
sound oaks are and the stars, SO that the
microbes, when they came in the dread
full form of fevers, found nothing in
them for prey.

CONQUEST OF THE NORTHWEST.
1t Was Acquired From the British by
Force of Arms.

/ fH. FOrce OF arms.
In 1915, when independence was de-
clared, the United States included only
the 10 original states on the seaboard.
With the exception of few hunters,
there were no white men west of the
Allegheny mountains, and there was
not even an American hunter in the
great country out of which we have
| since made the states of Illinois, Indi-
| ana, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. All
| this region north of the Ohio river then
| formed q part Of the province of Quebec.
1t was wilderness of forests and
prairies, teeming with game and inhab-
tied by many warlike tribes of Indians.
Here and there through it were dot
ted quaint little towns of French creoles,
the most important being Detroit, Vim
cennes, ON the Wabash, and Kaskaskia
and Kahokia, on the Illinois. These
French villages were ruled by British
officers commanding small bodies of reg
ular soldiers or Tory rangers and creole
partisans. The towns were completely
in the power of the British government.
None Of the American states had actual
possession of foot of property in the
Northwestern territory.
The northwest was acquired at the
time of the Revolution only by armed
conquest, and if it had not been SO ac-
quired it would have remained part of
the British Dominion of Canada.
The man to whom this conquest was
due was famous backwoods leader, q
mighty hunter, a noted Indian fighter
George Rogers Clark. He was very
strong man, with light hair and blue
eyes, of good Virginian family, who,
early in his youth, embarked on the adj
venturous career of backwoods survey
or. exactly as Washington and so many
other young Virginians of spirit did at
that period. He travelled out to Ken
lucky soon after it was opened up by
Boone and lived there for q year, either
at the stations or camping by himself in
the woods, surveying, hunting and max
ing war against the Indians like any
other settler. But all the time his mind
was bent Oh vaster schemes than We're
dreamed of by the men around him. He
had his spies out in the Northwestern
territory and became convinced that
with small force Of resolute back
woodsmen he could conquer it for the
United States. When he went back to
Virginia, Governor Patrick Henry en-
tered heartily into Clark S schemes and
gave him authority to fit out force for
his purpose, Theodore Roosevelt in st.
Nicholas.

Not Quite Right.

No man is hero to his valet, and
perhaps no poet to his baker. He lives
in Putney, and almost every day he
walks few miles to Wimbledon and
goes to cakeshop there, where he buys
cakes to give to little group of poor
children, who have learned to look for
ward to this frequent treat. Some one
who knew the poet by sight said to the
shopkeeper, "Do you know who this
gentleman who buys 30 many cakes Of
you is?'
"Oh, he's poor gentleman who isn't
quite right in his head. He's always
buying cakes for the children. Chap

WOMEN IN FRANCE.
They Are Not Only the Stronger but the
Better Half In That Country.

Better Half In That Country.
Women are the stronger as we'll as the
better half Of France. They do every
thing but build houses The best inspect

man. She is i'll the Havre Office, and she
has a nose that can detect dutiable goods
without opening lock She is naturally
amiable and slow to anger, but woe to
the foreigner or countryman who pro-
vokes her ire.
There is no sadder spectacle in the re-
public of France than the women shoe
polishers, who doze under the sheds of
the markets and quay, one eye shut and
t'other fixed on the bootbox over the
way, patiently waiting for trade. They
ask cents and accept cents for their
unwomanly work.
AT Theirs, the blacklist town in
France, the women sit outside of the
grimy little machine shops mating scis-
sor blades and polishing knife and scis-
sor handles. The stream that turns the
10000 little mill wheels is blacker than

Agujari, better known as La Bas-

of voice. Mozart heard her in ITO and
expressed the greatest delight. She sang

for the human voice. During great

equal to about $4,000 in the money of

So much interest was felt in Bonnie
 Thornton and her first appearance at popular prices that the Wonderland
 was crowded yesterday afternoon and last evening. The young woman cer- tainly made a most pleasant and favor- able impression. She has such a mag netlc way about her, and her songs are so daintily racy and suggestive of contemporaneous happenings, that any audience finds itself interested at once in everything that she does says or sings. Miss Thornton has certainly not been misnamed Americas little magnet if her singing yesterday and last even- ing is a fair example of it's regular quality. Lilde Western is very skill full instrumentalist, whose methods are hardly less magnetic than Miss Thorn tons, and she too has established her self already as a prime favorite in New Haven.
