A traveller wagered that he would break
through the blockade of "Box Closed. {"
He Knocked so persistently at the little
window that at last 1t was opened far
enough for him to thrust in bundle of
letters. He thought for a moment that he
had won, but he didn't know the postmis-
tress, who flung his letters into the street.
Then a colonel undertook to undermine
the postmistress' position on the giving of
change question. Presenting himself at
the window, he rendered half crown, re-
! questing to be supplied with a shilling's
worth of postage stamps.
II give no change" said the lady.
"Oh, very well, " replied the colonel
He withdrew for minute or two, and
then returned with bag Of 60 pennies.
Tapping gently at the window, he suavely
said, "a penny stamp, If you please, mad.

triumph, took the penny, gave the stamp
and shut the window A minute later
there was q second knock and a second re.
quest, "a penny postage stamp, if you
please, madam" At the thirtieth penny

in session in New York. The following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That while we recognize the right
OF women to make commentaries on the Bible,
as men have done from the beginning until
now, we regret that the name "Women'S BIZ
Die" has been given to any volume, and we fur
ther deplore the misapprehension of the press,
secular and religious, in styling this commen-
tary on those parts of the Bible only relating
TO woman rs a new version of the Scriptures
We further dsclaim any connection whatever
OF our society or our national president with
this work.
A resolution from the Boston Tenn
perance union was presented which

be converted into saloon, and there

father found the child in convulsions
and called his wife, but the little one
died before medical aid arrived.

NO. 10 DOWNING STREET.
A London House Famous In the

Although It Has Boon tho OBcial Resi-

Inasmuch as for the last 200 years or
more the huge British empire has been
governed from the dingy house known
by the name of mo. 10 Downing street."
the news that it is about to be demol-
ished in order to make way for the site
of the new offices of the board of trade
is exciting a considerable amount of dis
cussion and of protest. And not with
out reason; for when one remembers
the fuss that has been made about the
preservation of the house of Carlyle and
those of numerous other less distin-
guishcd persons, it is difficult to under
stand why means cannot be taken to
save from destruction house that is
made famous, as it were, not by any
one name illustrious in English history
but by hundreds of them.
No. 10 Downing street has been the
official residence of the prime minister
Of Great Britain since the beginning Of
the last century, it's first occupant Of
that rank being Sir Robert Walpole who
is described by his brilliant son Horace
rs sitting in strange, unwonted fash
ion without speaking, and with eyes
fixed for an hour together, lost to the
jovial good sense which had secured the
Hanoverian succession" Among his
successors at No. 10 Downing street was
Lord North, the statesman to whom
England is mainly indebted for that
war of independence that resulted in
the loss of the American colonies. 1t
was to room at No. 10 Downing street
that the great Lord Chatham was car
ried after he swooned in the house Of
lords during the memorable debate on
American affairs, and it was there, too,
that Pitt the younger, the Heaven-born
minister, who made it his constant resi-
dence, had his heart broken by the first
Napoleon. Fox lived there, and so did
Canning, while the only occasion on
which Lord Nelson ever met the great
duke of Wellington was in the waiting
room drawing-room of No. 10 Downing
street, where both were waiting to see
the prime minister. Wellington, at that
time only Sir Arthur Wellesley, knew the
celebrated admiral from his picture.

hours later by the agonized family.
Two weeks later man named Irwin
went to sleep peacefully in his country
