met at the City Hall. After the usual

In the province of Alsace few years
ago little girl was seen playing with
doll, which was dressed in red, white
and blue. The suspicious of the official
were aroused, for it certainly was dread
full to see the power of the German EN-
pire SO boldly threatened. The child
was tracked to its home, and there the
officer found that the doll was a present.
He went Immediately to the lady who
had given it to the child and obtained
the address of the store where the danger
GUS plaything had been bought. 1t was
a modest little place, but the officer
found 1t at last and then discovered that
the doll had been made and dressed in

his trip with the Friesland excursionists,
reaching Ravenna last Friday afternoon,

ture OF health and physical robustness, and
evidences q goodly measure of avordupois
added to his ante-voyage weight.
81 didn't miss meal, and enjoyed every
minute of the trip" he said, with hearty
satisfaction, to our inquiry concerning his
general health and experiences en- route.
Among other home blessings to be appre-
clated, he says that the privilege of a drink
OF good water whenever any one is athirst,
is beyond price. Another feature of the
long pilgrimage" that has impressed him
very forcibly, is the fact that there was not
life lost or single case of serious sickness
among the $50 excursionists. Only one ac-
cident happened to in any way mar the en-
Joyment of the tourists. One of the parry
broke his leg while at the Bermudas, and
was obliged to remain there for recovery,
thereby missing the balance of the trip.
Mr.. Clewell says one of the annoyances or
rather inconvenience encountered, espe-
cially in Egypt and the Orient, is the almost
utter absence of the Yankee tongue, except
the so-called English of the guides. While
at Rome, they stopped at one of the leading
hotels, and the manager, who prided him
self on his Anglican proficiency of speech,
one day posted up the following notice on
the elevator, which, by the way, is the slow
going kind operated by water motor: "The
lift do not go up. Of cause they are no wa
ter"
