A story is told Of a certain Snowman
who combined with the ordinary circus
performance a display Of fireworks. At
n town he advertised the "Battle of
Trafalgar. with burning ships, blazing
oceans and other magnificent effects.
He drew such a vivid picture Of that
great naval encounter that the people
from the entire countryside were at
tracted to see it. When the time arrived,
the Snowman brought his guiding hand
to bear on the set piece, applied the
match in the usual manner and retired
to await results. Several minutes passed,
but no battle ensued. The Snowman
then stepped forward and addressed the
crowd.
"It has not went off" he remarked
and proceeded to investigate.
Again the same result followed, and

startling Proof That 1t VIII Unlock the

1t is now pretty generally understood
both in England and America that a

society of this country. Perhaps the
most striking demonstration yet made
was given last week by some II who
responded to all advertisement offering
to INTRODUCE a lady into the ''smartest

made in behalf of a supposed American
Young lady whose parents desired to Sc
cure for her Il court presentation, etc.
The writer said: Though not avcrse
20 these ambitious prospects, she does
Dot enter into them with the zeal neces-
sary to their accomplishment. She Is

by her defective education and lack OF

that there is one fearful drawback
that is, illegitimacy. OF course this is

In reply to this came a letter from q
lady of tito whose nam is known
throughout the world and of the highest
| social position outside of actual royalty.
Furthermore, it was ascertained that
there was no doubt of the genuineness
of her offer. This, among other things,
she wrote to a perfect stranger:

FEARS OF

The Magnates of London Stirred Up Over
the Coming County Council Election.
The elections for the London county
council, the body which governs the
whole of this vast metropolis except the
tiny area known as the city, will take
place in March, and it is now evident
that they will be fought on strictly po-
litical lines. The magnates who own
the greater part of the land upon which
London stands, including men like
Lord Salisbury, the Duke of Bedford
and the Duke of Westminster, are SO
frightened by the increasingly radical,
not to say socialistic, character of the
present council that their purse strings,
usually kept tightly tied indeed, have
been Embossed, and they are prepared
to spend $500, 900 to help the Tories OBJ.

Several noblemen even consider tho
emergency SO great that they are willing
to sacrifice themselves to the extent OF
becoming candidates and sitting in the
council with quite common people, even
with their own tradesmen, if they can
find constituencies to elect them. The
music hall people have also thrown in
their lot with the Tories, and one Of
them, Mr.. George Edwardes, manage,
Of the Empire, has sacrificed his feelings
like the noble sufferers just referred to
and is contesting the division against
