PAT DIDN'T GET A FURLoUGH
The Colonel Proved as Artistic a Liar
as His Private

Here is story told of Patrick O'Mars.
private in the Ninth regulars: Not long ago
he went to the colonel, who was a severe
disciplinarian, for a two weeks leave of alb
sence.
Well" said the colonel, what do you
want a two weeks furlough for:"
Patrick answered: ME wolfe is very sick
and the children are not well, and if We
didn't mind she would like to have me home
for few weeks to give her bit of assist
ance"
The colonel eyed him for few minutes
and said:
Patrick, l might grant your request, but
L got letter from your wife this morning
saying that she didn't want you home; that
you were a nuisance and raised the devil
whenever you were there. She hopes |
won't let you have any more furloughs"
That settles it. | suppose l can't get
the furlough, them" said Pat.
mo, I'm afraid not, Patrick. 1t wouldn't
be well for me to do 80 under the circum
stances"
1t was Patrick turn now to eye the
colonel as he started for the door. Stop
ping suddenly he said:
Colonel, can | say something to yez?"
Certainly, Patrick; what is it?'
''You won't get mad, colonel, if l say it ?"
''Certainly not, Patrick; what is it 2"

Cargo Of Arsenic Has a Remarkable
Effect on Seamen

The German bark Zion, which arrived at
this port Sunday from Fowey, England,
brought a rather peculiar cargo. 1t CON
sisted of 1900 cacks of china clay, but in ad-
dition there were ON board 300 casks of
arsenic. This part of the cargo had re-
markable effect on the crew. The fact
that arsenic, as well as strychnine, helps the
formation Of adipose tissue when taken into
the human system in minute particles Is
well known, and both drugs have become
favorite tonics for convalescents. On
board the Zion the men slept very near the
large array of barrels containing the drug
They were stored in the hold, near the fore
castle, and partially exposed to the rays
Of the sun, which streamed in through the
open hatch. When only about a week out
from port one of the crew mentioned to his
messmates that peculiar and indescribabe
odor was coming from the casks containing
the drug.
1t was not long after their attention had
been called to it that they all noticed the
same thing, and, strange to say, noticed it
all the more forcibly week later. Several
of the German tars became aware of the
fact that they were filling out their clothes
to much greater extent Than when they
shipped. Many others, as days went by,
became abnormally stout in vast contrast
to the former slim appearanc which many
of them presented before the land was left.
One man gained, it is said, twenty-five
pounds. Others were atfected'to less ex-
tent. But the aggregate weight put on by
the entire crew was little less than 400
pounds.
Several of the sailors are known here, and
they are said to be scarcely recognizable
when contrasted with the old days The
entire sudden taking on of avoirdupos is
attributed to vapor, which, generated by
the action of the sun on the casks. was in
hailed by the seamen as they slept and acted
in precisely the same manner which it does
when given as tonic in a prescription
Captain Hammes, who slept aft in the YES
sci, entirely removed from the arsenic, does
not show any effect of the nhaation.-Phil.

they are the latest substitute for the sachet

In form they are most convenient, as they
are so small there is always room for them
everywhere. In addition to being slipped

they are sewed in the lining of the hat.
These tablets can be bought in violet

What England Wants

Russia has been at no pains to conceal
her policy of "take all can get and give
nothing" She has been taking from China
all along, and so far We fail to see that
China has benefited in any single instances
therefore why continue the Improbable
game? If 1t is terror, why does not China
grasp eagerly at the substantial straw held
out to her byl England, and place the or
ganization of her army and navy in British
hands? In very short time she would
then be in position to make her own
terms with Russia, or with any other pow
er, and that is what England wants to see

Monday and turned over to the treasury de-
