THEIR
What 1t COST Two Drummers to As

fonish the Natives.
From the Detroit Free Press: Its a
sac story" said the drummer. as he
counted up his available cash. My
idea was to say nothing about it. but
l understand that the other fellow Ia
going around telling the story as a joke
on me, and | might as we'll give my
side of the story. for the truth is bad
enough without having it exaggerated.
One night last week | found myself
obliged to put up for the night at a
little country hotel some miles west
OF here. 1t was a chilly evening. and
several loungers were loaing in the
Darroom matching pennies to kill time.
They were as much interested over it
as though millions were at stake, and
it gave me a tired feeling to watcn
them. There was another drummer.
a friend of mine. who was doomed to
pass the night at the place. and sud
denly | was seized with a bright idea.
/ had collected a bill for my house for
$50, and had CHANGED to be paid in s.
gold pieces. l got my friend aside and
said: See here. let's wake this house
up and show them where they are at.
/ nave ten s. gold pieces. l will give
you half of them and we will start a
fake gambling game and astOnish the
natives My friend agreed to the plan
and we started matching S. gold pieces
on the bar, while the loungers gathered
about and breathlessly watched the
game, with their eyes fairly hanging
out OF their heads. We had been at 1t
for only a few minutes when the viii
lage marshal came up and arrested us
both for gambling. | tried to explain
that it was only a joke. but he wouldn't
listen, and showed his determination
to take us to Jail for the night. We
prevailed upon him to send for the
justice of the peace, who saved us from
the lookup by holding us on our own
recognizance to appear before him next
morning, at which time he gently fined
us s25 apiece and confisCated the evil
dence to pay the fine. If l ever try to
be funny again I hope someone will
kick me-"

VERY STRICT CENSORSHIP.
Absolutely No News of Importance Can
Get Through.

London, Dec. 2.-The week, which
has been marked by a brilliant ad-
vance of Lard Methuen's column, clos
es in profound and remarkable silence.
Orders seem to have gone forth from
the military headquarters in South
Africa to maintain silence. AS there
is no great deley in telegraphing, de
spite the breakdown of one cable,
of news. There is almost no new in
formation this morning from any OF
the British commands in South Afri-
ca. The inference to be drawn is that
the generals are maturing plans, which
it would improper at this moment to
disclose.
1t is not known yet how the battle
of Modder river was fought: whether
Kimberley has been relieved: whether
General Hildyard has moved forward
from Frere since Tuesday, or whether
Stormberg Junction.
The latest dispatch from Frere states
that on Tuesday the British drove back
the Beers. who were trying to destroy
a big bridge near Colenso. If this was
the great structure over the Tugela
river, the fact of it being intact is of
the greatest Importance to General
Clery's advance.
1t is uncertain which bridge the dis
patch referred to. There are two, a
railway and a road bridge to Lady
smith, crossing the Tugela at this
point. The railway bridge has already
been reported to have been destroyed.
1t is quite likely that this report was
false.
To make this bridge, whichever it
is. absolutely secure, a British force
must cross the river and entrench it.
self on the further bank at the bridge.
1t is not stated whether General
Hildyard is able to do this. Undoubt-
eddy if the advance troops have cross
ed the river and entrenched a very
important success has been gained and
a great obstacle in Clery's way has
been removed. 1t is possible that the
bridge has been mined and may yet be
destroyed.

AGAINST ROBERTS,

New York, Dec. 1.-The Herald has
made a anvas of the house of repre-
sentatives on the question of unseat-
ing Brigham II. Roberts, representa-
tivo-elect from Utah. The canvass
shows an overwhelming sentiment
against Roberts of 259 members polled.
Only one declared themselves in favor
of admitting Roberts, 1913 were against
him and 1874 declined to give opinions
for publication, but in almost every
instance these members privately de-
clared they were against the seating
of Roberts.

The ease with which divorces are Sc
cured in the United States has been the
subject of much agitation, but certain
ly a letter received by the recorder in
one of the New Jersey cities is a reve-
lation of the conception that at least
one foreigner had of divorce laws in
America. The daughter had been
married in this New Jersey town, and
left her husband shortly afterward, re-
turning to her mother in Germany.
The recorder received this letter from
the brides father: ITO the Honorable
Judge: My daughter has come back to
Germany. l will kindly ask you TO
send me her marriage certificate, as
she will be fined here unless 1t Is
registered. Also kindly send me a d.
