the Columbia ne xt week, tells the story of IL
man who abhprs mothers-in-law marrying
girl who dotes On naughty men Not that
she likes them for herself, but like Mr.. Cat

holds that every man should have sown his
wild oats before he is fit to marry. Con
sequently she is greaa y disappointed to find
that her husbaad has lived a most bi ameless
bacnelor life, aud In order to please her he
adopts the past Of q very gay oldpartner
of his. The result is more than either of
them anticipated. for the partner has had d
lively and lurId career in two continents.

makes the Cheyenne problem extremely
bothersome. We kill off lions and tigers,

The alarm OF Europe, in consequence Of
increasing friction among the powers and
the openly defiant course OF the Sultan, is
growing daily. The Turkish minister or
war states that by the end of June there
will be 265, 900 troops in Roumelia, and
that this number Will he increased to 300,-
900 10y the middle Of July. What this
concentration may mean ii is hard to
guess If the relations between Turkey
and Bulgaria were visihly unfriendly one
could understand why such force should
be thrown into position just south Of the
Balkan range. Strategically considered,
the movement would seem to have either
bulgaria or Russia in view, and this adds
to the general mystery. If Ria Pasha is
correctly reported. the large force re-
5eTred to has nothing 20 do with the 200,
Ooe men, more or less, that Edhem PaSha
has in SaloniCa and ThesSaly.
