ii. Thomson is Offering big bargains
in groceries, and you are invited to help
yourself to any extent. There is no ex-
cuse for living poorly when you can get
all the necessaries of life at such low
prices. Quality is the first consideration
with Thomson. Only the best is good
enough for his trade. Buying, as he
does, in enormous quantities, he gets the
advantage of large discounts and is thus
enabled to sell as cheap as he does.

BEAUTIFUL DREAMS.

While oft in beautiful dreams retracing
Familiar walks in woodland bowers,
Greeting memories, memories chasing,
Memories OF by gone happy hours,
Methinks, does memory play me fair?
When brOwn-eyed lass, long since no
more,
Is wearing still in her golden hair,
The wreath that in early youth she wore
The same youthful lover placei upon
the snowy brow,
or one so young, 50 fair, so bright;
As there was seen, we see it now,
In beautiful dreams by night.
When she was child. and he was child,
And never was child more fair,
Nor daintier wreath of jessamines wild,
Worn upon beautiful golden hair.
Alas, for the heart when the memory
fingers
BY the cold, cold urn with the ashes of
bliss,
Recalling the pressure Of delicate fingers,
The last good bye, and the farewell kiss.

How a Scotch Soldier Come 1t Over an
Inspecting OAlcer.

How a Scotch Soldier Come 1t Over an
Inspecting Officer.
There is an amusing story related re-
Earding a Scotch regiment, in the last
century, to whom a money grant was
paid for "rations" IN lieu of an issue of
provisions, with the result that the SOL
diers spent most of this allowance in
''mountain dew" instead of providing
themselves with proper meals. The
commanding officer, says the London
Standard, resolved to check this per-
nicious practice, took to making unex-
pected visits of inspection to the cook
ing quarters at the mems meal times,
and, to his wrath, discovered that the
kettle which was duly simmering over
the first fire which he visited contained
nothing but hot water, instead Of the
regulation piece Of beef. But the old
sergeant of the next company was a
man of Hastily Selling a
pair of chamois-leather breeches which
were lying before the fire, he popped
them into his own cooking-pot. which
was, like that of his neighbors, hisher-
to innocent of aught ave water, and to
81 inquiry: "What have you got in
t.. kettle?" triumphantly responded:
"SSice bit of beef, sir" lifting up a por-
tic1 of the garments with his spoon.
The officer glanced at the supposed
meat, and passed on with words Of
Communications; 'sbut the beef was
nothing but the majors own old
brooches" as the cunning old soldier
was wont TO remark afterwards in q
tone of calm satisfaction.

Losses Through This Means During q Long

Losses Through This Means During q Long
Term III Years.
The known losses of the bank through
counterfeiting mount up, in the zoe
years of it's history, among the millions.
The first forgery of this kind appeared
in 1853. A young man named Richard
William Vaughan, to show his lady
love how easily he could make non
forged twenty notes, and gave them to
her, she thriftily taking them to the
bank. n
In 1884, says McClure's Magazine, Old
Patch, the son of an old clothes dealer.
and the ex-partner of Foote the come
dian in a brewery, took 92OO, 900 from
the bank by forgeries, making his
own ink, paper and press, and he hung
himself when arrested. Astlett, in
1903, embezzled e%xchequer bills to the
value of e342, 900. Fauntleroy, a
banker, in 1924, obtained $500, 900 by
forging powers of attorney for sale of
consuls, and was hung at Newgate. In
the general jubilee throughout the city
over the proclamation of peace with
the American republic, in 1888, fourteen
forged e50notes were cashed unnoticed,
and for years in the early party Of this
century, the banks annual loss by
counterfeits was a figure Of many thou
sands of pounds. Forgeries to-day are
rare. The machinery of detection is
perfect, and the system of numbering,
as well as the perpetual use bv all
banks of freshly printed Bank of Eng
land notes, presents insurmountable
obstacles to "smashers."

MAKING THE BEST OF IT.

A Chinese Papers Method of Reporting
q Victory by the Japs.
After the Chinese defeat at Kaiping
December 20 the Shen-pao, an infuen-
tial Picking journal, published the fol-
lowing:
"A Cheefoo scholar writes us that an
important battle has just occurred at
Kaiping. An overwhelming army of
Japanese made a cowardly attack upon
the fearless Gen. Sung-Ching, thinking
to take him unawares. But that great
soldier is always vigilant and routed
his foes with great slaughter, killing
over three thousand and driving the
rest back t~hirty-fve miles without
losing over ten men himself. Evening
coming on, and everyone being tired
from the hard labor of the day, Gen.
Sung thoughtfully ordered all his men
to lie down and rest, while he slept
likewise. He had not been in bed more
than an hour or two when he was dis
turbed by the Japanese, who, contrary
to all usages Of war, again assalled his
camp. He was naturally indignant
and ordered a lieutenant to drive the
wretches away SO that he could finish
his slumbers. The officer did the best
he could, but, being wounded n his
troops being panic-stricken by the cold'
he and his men turned and retreated,
being pursued by the japanese; This
turned the camp into great disorder
and resulted in deepunhappiness. Gen.
Sung perceived this and ordered a re-
treat at full speed. His forces quickly
outmarched the enemy, SO that at morn
ing the whereabouts of the japanese
was unknown, from which it is inferred
that they had fed. While the tents,
guns and ammunitions were left be-
hind, the banners, flags and umbrellas
were all safely brought away. Gen.
Sung, in view Of the urgency OF the Sit
alation, haI applied to Picking Tor nifty
r sousanG pforcements." +,

an Indian, with his copper-lined stom-
ach, can stand a protracted spree on it.
The Rake Indians probably lead all
others in the manufacture Of these
spirits, and as proofof their knowledge
in the art OF making a double-proof ar
ticle, we give the particulars of the
awful fate of an expert Kake distiller,
which happened recently on that is
land.
It seems that this Indian, while en-
gagged in the manipulation of his little
c~oal-oil can still, imbibed too freely Of
its tricklings, and in drunken stupor
lay down by his fire of cedar logs and
fell asleep with his face uncomfortably
close to the fire and his breath tanning
the flames. Throughsome reason known
only to the medical fraternity gas ac-
cumulated in the stomach, and the
breath of the sleeper reaching the
flames this alcoholic gas ignited. The
sleeper suddenly leaped to his feet
with a terrifying scream, and fell back
again writhing in agony. The man
was burning internally. Smoke and
even flames were issuing from his
mouth, and his agony was something
awful. His loud screeches brought the
members Of the camp about him, who
looked on in silent, terror-stricken
awe, unable to do anything for his re-
lief. The combustion continued until
the Indian was literally consumed in
side and for sometime after the spirit
of life had fed.

Twelve years of age, the girls then be-

and adorned with fresh flowers. When
the great day for cutting comes there
Is grand ceremony and much feasting.
One who was present at a royal hair
cutting, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
tells us that the darling of the harem
was robed in long, flowing garments Of
silk and lace, confined at the waist by
q golden girdle. Her long hair, coiled
for the last time, was fastened with
diamond pins, which cleaned and gilt
tered among fresh white flowers and
green leaves like pearly drops of morn
ing dew. There, in the presence Of the
ladies, her father and an officiating
priest, surrounded by her hand maid
ems, some two hundred in number, she
knelt while prayers were chanted.
Then, the beautiful tresses being I'M
bound, her royal father, dipping his
fingers in rosewater and drawing them
carelessly ove- her head, clipped about
an eighth of an inch of hair and threw
it into a golden basin, depositing at the
same time on a great salver placed
ready to receive them presents Of Jewels
and gold.
The priest cut the next piece, her
mother the next, and so on, each guest
serving in turn until the little lady was
shorn. All gave costly gifts intended
for her marriage dover, princes, minis
tiers of state and dignitaries of all sorts,
who waited in the outer courts, send
