THE FORCE OF HABIT.
How 1t Once Played u Mean Trick ON
Frederick Villiers.

HOW II once Flayed q Mean Trick ON
Frederick villiers.
o.. w. Sabel, in The Saturday Even
ing Post, tells an anecdote of Freder~
ick Villiers, the famous war CORE
spondent. Villiers had been under fire
for some days, the enemy bombarding
the force to which the artist was at
tached, so that the arrival of q shell
was commonplace circumstance to be
treated in the usual way. Out of this
ordeal he came unscathed to London
and was strolling down the crowded
Strand.
On sudden the pedestrians were
appalled, to see him fling himself at
full length upon the greasy, muddy
pavement and there lie on his face,
rigid as dead man. From all direc-
lions men rushed to render him as
sistance. They turned him over to
rub his hands and unbotton his collar,
expecting to find him in a fit. But no.
On his face they found not the pain
and pallor Of epilepsy, but astonish-
ment and mud. Villiers, when they
laid hold of him, quickly jumped to
his feet, shook the mud from his hands
and clothes and then looked around
for an explanation of his own appar-
entity idiotic act. The explanation was
Forthcoming.

horse and cart. The carter had mo-

struck the wood paving with re-
sounding dull thud," and the clean
gravel Kissed out with an evil roar.
This combination of sounds, the war
artist declared, was identical with the
striking of a live shell, and villiers,
forgetting that he then stood some
thousands of miles from the seat Of
war, automatically flung himself down
to await the dreadful explosion.

BENUMBED
Was the Stock Market Wednesday Money
the Interesting Feature.


BY Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 10.-Activity in the
stock market was very much benumb-
ed by perplexities in the money mark
ct. The outlook on International ex-
change and rates on money on foreign
markets attracted more attention than
did the news of domestic events, ex-
cept as they offered some special prop
critics. What small interest there was
in stocks was mostly centered on
specialties, the movements of prices
being irregular Heaviness of the
general list became marked after only
a brief resistance. The movement of
prices was very narrow, and dealings
we're so small that net changes were
not important, but practically all
losses. The closing was very dull and
easy at the low point. There were
firm spots in the bond market. but
business was very dull.

it. The trunk which remained in his
room was unusually heavy and when
opened after his departure was found
to contain specimens of ore. brought
from the gold and silver mines Of Col
orado, where presumably he had lost
all his money. After waiting out the
legal time Mr.. Gage sent the contents
of the trunk to an assayer, who return

than 500 in excess Of the bill after
deducting his own fees.

Lord Russell's Dilemma.

OncA, when he first came to Lon
don and was laying the foundation Of
his great career says London letter
the future Lord Chief Justice Russell
went to the pit of theater. The piece
was popular, the pit was crowded and
the young advocate had only standing
room. All Of a sudden man at his
side cried out that his watch was
stolen. Mr.. Russell and two other
men were hemmed in.
at is one of you three" cried the
man minus the watch.
"Well, we had better go out and be
searched" said Mr.. Russell, with the
alertness of mind that did not fail him
at trying moment amid an excited
crowd. A detective was at hand, and
the suggestion was accepted. AS Mr.
Russell walked out the idea flashed
through his mind that if the man be-
hind him had the stolen property he
would probably try to secrete it in the
pocket of his front rank man. Quick
as thought he drew his coattails about
him-only to feel, to his horror, some
thing large and smooth and round al
ready in his pocket.
While he was still wondering what
this might mean for him, the detective
energetically seized the hindmost man,
exclaiming: What, you rascal! At it
again" To Mr.. Russell and the other
man he apologized and babe them go
free.
But Mr.. Russell, before he had taken
many steps. reflected that he could not
keep the watch. He went back to the
box office and explained, with cour-
age on which lie afterward said he
rarely experienced greater demands,
that though he did not take the watch
he had 1t. So saying, he put his hand
into his pocket and pulled out-a for
gotten snuffbox.
