Mrs Blaine has been negotiating

Great Britain.
Foreign countries, he asserted, mustnot
compare them with the amounts spent
upon their navies, but with the amounts
they spent npon their armies, as the
British navy represented the frontiers,
and the large increase in the strength of
the British navy need not excite the
jealousy of any other country.
In conclusion Mr.. Goschen said:
"Whether Great Britain is isolated or
not, whether in any tremendous strain
she should bear the whole burden alone
or in general disturbances should take
her place side by side with the Powers,
the British people with their feet should
self-reliance."

The distress in the mining camps last

The Cause of the Fight.

The story of their trouble is easily told.
There were William J. Brown, who had
an office on the seventh floor, and W.
Joseph Brown, who had an office on tho
sixth floor. Each tried to stick to his own
method of parting his name, but many
labor saving correspondents insisted upon
using only the initials, and that made a
good deal of trouble. 1t was annoying to
one W. j. Brown to see a check sticking
out OF a letter as he opened it only to find
upon reading the letter that it belonged to
the other w. j. Brown, and it was annoy
ing to the other W. ]. Brown to pay ex-
press charges on packages belonging to the
W. J. Brown on the floor above.
And so it came about that there was no
love lost between William J. Brown and
W. Joseph Brown. They had ioked about
their names at the beginning, but it had
long since ceased to be joking matter.
They gave each other only surly mods when
they met and exchanged letters that had
gone astray with sarcastic taunts.
Still there was no sign of tragedy.
William J. tossed letter into W. Joseph s
office one day with the suggestion that it
would be good scheme for him to begin
to pay his bills, as he (William j. } was
tired of receiving them. W. Joseph retort-
ed that if William J. would only take
pains to use the William with his name
he (M Joseph) would not receive so many
calls from the creditors of his namesake
But these were trifiing affairs. 1t was
not until W. Joseph's wife made the mis-
take of addressing letter to him as ''W.
J. that the real trouble began. William
j. handed the letter to W. Joseph and ask
ed with righteous indignation, "Why don't
you supply your wife with enough money
when she goes visiting?" He got away be-
fore there was a chance for an explosion,
but it came next day when ". Joseph
drifted into his office and handa him a
letter with the remark: "I wish you'd
marry that girl. You've been engaged
long enough, and besides her letters are
getting sickening."
The police finally succeeded in restoring
order.-Chicago Post.

The Boston girls eyes filled with ten

volume of the Eneid and softly spoke the
