HOLIDAYS IN ITALY
Refrafns From Visiting France Be-

LONDON. Nov. 1s.-The Queen is going
to Italy for the holidays. Her Majesty is
Kept very accurately informed about
every item concerning the war She is a
diligent reader OF the papers, and has had
her attention drawn 10 the persistent anti
English attitude OF France and the French
press. 1t is an open secret that England
had made every preparation for war at
the time OF the Fashoda incident The
country was wound up. Sir Edward Mon
son made his famous speech. England's
challenge was not then accepted but to-
uay, when France imagines that England
Is in difficulties, she encourages the Beers
and thus in some slight measure prolongs
their resistance. This England will never
forget. The general opinion here is that
France is sowing the seeds Of a future
war with this country.
The Queen, who all her life ha .udied
English popular sentiment, sees H.. " that
stay in France is impossible; so Italy
is chosen. She rents an entire hotel for
next August at Bordighera abandons un-
friendly France and takes up her resi-
dence in friendly Italy. It is a small
thing, apparently. but English feeling is
shown by the approving way in which her
choice has been received.
The feeling OF England toward France
Is just as strained as that Of America was
toward Germany during the Philippine
blockade. England is just as ready now
as Admiral Dewey was then.

SURE THING"

Recently a party of New Orleans bust
ness men from one of the uptown office
buildings went out to see the races. With
one exception, they all knew more or less
about form and ''handicapping,' and
the trip to the grounds was enlivened by
an animated discussion on the relative
merits of the flyers. The exception was a
quiet gentleman who frankly admitted
that he was totally ignorant of turf mat
ters and knew no more of the intricacies
of book-betting than a Hottentot knows
of pink teas. His friends received this
confession with rather scornful SYM
patny and advised him not to monkey
with the pOOl-boX. When they reached
the grounds they found the second race
about to be un, and while Lygia was the
faVorite, a hot tip had one around on
Miss Maytime, ridden by O'Connor.
The wise men in the party consulted
their form cards, did a little swift figur-
ing on the handicap, and concluded that
the tip was reliable.
she can't lose unless she gets struck
by lightning,' declared the chief a~strolo-
ger of the crowd, and they proceeded to
invest in Miss Maytime tickets at dds
of Is to J.. While the pasteboards were
beng written the quiet man who knew
nothing about racing tished out a So bill
dIiu HiUNtSlly ldlu II on Elmer %, a Sault
white nag that was on the boards at 20
to l.
His friends laughed merrily at the
time, and when the race was called they
fairly yelled, for Elmer s., instead of
getting off with the others, turned around
and ran away.
Now you see," said one of the ex-
perts, how foolish it is to bet your
money on mere caprice. No man has any
business around the pool-box unless he
possesses some accurate scientific knoWl-
edge of the game"
While he was talking the starter caught
Elmer S. by the bride, yanked him
'tother end to and sent him off behind
the bunch. Then a miracle happened.
The gaunt white horse, distanced, dis
counted, discredited and hooted by every
body on the track, suddenly laid back his
ears, covered the gap like a bolt from a
catapult, and won the race hands down.
Myosotis, a 40 to l shot, was second, and
poor Miss Maytime may be running yet
at least she was somewhere at the
wind-up.
After the crowd caught it's breath
there was a grand howl of amazement,
and the wise men looked foolish. The
quiet man walked over and exchanged
his ticket for 500 in nice crisp bills, and
came back, smiling softly. On the way
to town one of his friends spoke up:
Say, old man." he said, how the dick
ems was it that vol happened to bet on
that white skater"
We'll, I'll tell YOU replied the quiet
man. I'll admit you fellows know a
lot more about racing han l do, but I
keep my eyes open, and just as we were
going into the grounds saw a red-head-
ed woman
Thunder and lightning.' groaned the
scientific player, and tore up his form
card.
