When l went to the sailor, he held
in his hand a very old and ragged rice
bag. He said, ''I've got a fine singing

meant, so he opened the bag and showed
me one of the largest and ~fiercest look

a large fish globe, into which l told him
to drop the serpent. bag and all, and
then secured the top. l asked him how

you get here with it in that old ragr"
"Well, said he, II took the train from

In the Memoir of Lord Bramwell
is a telling illustration of the fact that
reputation clings to us, even after many
years. The great jurist as a little lad
became a pupil at DR.. Reddy's school,
where the late Baron CHANNEL, three
years his senior, was head boy.
Channel read for the law, and the
two school friends scarcely met again
until, years afterward, Mr.. CHANNEL
held a brief in a certain case at Maid
stone ~assizes.
Consultation with the solicitors
showed a flaw in the pleadings drawn
by them. 1t was of a sort which in
those days would prove fatal to the
case. The solicitors could only hope
that it would not be discovered.
"Who is against us3" asked Chan
nell.
"Oh," was the reply, "a MI. Bran
well. Nobody ever heard of him be-
FORE"
"Then, gentlemen" said the advo-
cate, "we're done. l was at school with
that gentleman"
He was right. Bramwell was too
clever for them. and they were ''done"

In describing the bombardment Of
MORO Castle at Santiago during the
Spanish-American war a war artist who
~ in Cuba tells how he and some
newspaper men managed to attain a
point of vantage near the Texas:
A few days previous a rival newspa-
per dispatch boat. the recipient Of GER
tain courtesies with which we had not
been favored, had been carrying minor
kilograms to the flagship from one point
or another, and she was in the habit Of
sailing in among the feet, with an air
of Importance and displaying the sig
nal, 1--WE have dispatches for the ad-
miral."
This, Of course, prevented the vessels
of the feet from making her come out
side and enabled her to approach the
flagship to deliver her communications.
Before leaving Port Antonio we had
taken in a large supply of fresh fruit,
including bananas, so it occurred to one
of u very alert and original newspa-
per men that we should hoist the sig
nal, "We have bananas for the Texas
on board
This we acted upon, and our vessel
was allowed to glide in without inter-
ference, until we reached the Texas.
Once alongside, Captain Philip hailed
us with delight, accepted u little gift
and told us that a bombardment was
very shortly to take place. We thought
ourselves in great luck at receiving this
news and made outside the lines, keep
ing as near to the squadron as we were
permitted.
