AN AMUSING DEBATE.
The Subject Was Serious Enough. but the
Situation Was Comical.


When, in tie old days Of trouble be.
tween the English and French. there
was talk of sending Admiral Hawke to
sea to keep watch over the enemy's feet,
there occurred a notable interview. 1t
was November. The weather was stormy
and dangerous for vessels and the gov.
eminent was not agreed as to sending
them out.
Mr.. Pitt, who was in bed with govt,
was obliged to receive these who had
business with him in his chamber. This
room had two beds and no fire. The
Duke of Newcastle came to him to con-
slider the sending out Of the feet, and
had scarcely entered the room when he
cried out, shivering I'LL over with cold
''How is this? No f1re?"
mo-" said Mr.. Pitt. "When l have
the govt, I cannot bear one"
The duke, wrapped in his cloak, tooA
seat by the invalid's bedside and be-
gan talking, but he found himself IN
able to endure the cold.
Pray allow mer' he exclaimed sud
denly, and, without taking off his cloak,
he buried himself in tho other bed and
continued the conversation. He was
strongly opposed to risking the feet il
the November gales. MI. Pitt was abso
lutely resolved that it should put to sea
and both argued the matter with muct
warmth. 1t was the only warmth, in
deed, in the room.
II am positively determined that tn,
feet shall SAIL" said Pitt, accompany
ing his words with tho most lively ges
ticulations
lit is impossible! It will perishr
said the duke, with equal emphasis.
At the moment the discussion waxet
hottest another dignitary Of the realm
came in and found it difficult to keel
his countenance at the sight Of tw,
ministers celebrating on matter Of s.
grave Importance from such novel sit
uation-
The feet did put to sea, and Mr.
Pitts Judgment proved to be right. Tn
enemy was crippled and signal ad
vantage gained.-Youth's Companion

show that had pitched its tent in a
London suburb.

The freak business is divided into about
three notwithstanding, domestic and

In the first class the collectors travel
all over the world in search Of rarities,
but the very best freaks come from In
dia and the Malay peninsula In these
countries there are people who breed
freaks They buy young children and
animals and deform them while their
bones gre soft by all manners of means.
Then they are constantly on the outlook
for genuine natural freaks, and in those
lands the birth Of freak occurs very
frequently. The headquarters Of this

who devote themselves to the discover.

The spectacle of two standing
armies chasing two prize lighters

lous as anything yer witnessed in

citizens were incarcerated in a Mex

some crime Of which they were in
nocent, the United Sites Government
would be weaving red tape in the
State Department. AMI the men would
be hung before Congress was aware

He FELT Lonely.

mar of the most daring originality, if
the story is true:
PA was sitting in his saloon, feel
ing lonely. He went to the BARN and
putting a halter on the horse brought
him into the house saying he wanted
the animal to eat supper with him.
Pa made me set a plate for the horse.
Then he took hold of the horses front
legs and lifted them up on the table.
We all sat down to supper and the
horse began to eat. Pa picked up a
mug Of beer and began to laugh and
threw both hands in the air. The mug
hit the horse on the lose. The beast
pulled his feet down, dragging the
tablpclOth and upsetting the table.
The horse backed up and sat squarly
on a red-hOt stove, This burned its
tail, so the animal kicked the stove
over and a out the door. [ screamed
