it is across his lobby without stagger-
ing like a man who'd been out all night"
1.-The way 1 got in this kind of a fix was
like this: I was out hunting five months
ago and in crossing from one field to an
other met with an accident. The two
fields were separated by one of the old
fashioned rail fences. The rails were a
good distance apart and instead of
climbing V I climbed through, or
rather attempted to, for just as I stuck
my head through the space the heavy rail
above me was dislodged from it's resting
place in some manner, probably struck
by the end of my gun barrel. 1t fell with
a stunning blow on the back of my head
just above the neck. / was knocked
senseless and When 1 recovered, could
barely make my way back home, stag
gering a sthough l had been on a jag for
a week.
"~I'thought I would soon get over it,
but after a month l was no better. The
physicians told me the heavy rail struck
upon that portion of the skull which
contains the cerebellum, the part of the
brain that controls the combined muscu-
lar action. Owing to the blow this part
of the sku was depressed. keeping the
cerebellum from performing it's proper
function.
Il took to drinking to ease my feelings
about it, and found that while under the
influence of liquor my actions We're freer.
Different drinks had better effects than
others, and | soon found that a combina-
ton of whisky and cordials put me in a
normal condition for a time. This COM
bination was eliminated to perfection in
a Manhattan cocktail, and that's why I
drink nothing else.'
II soon found that I gradually required
more requent doses, you might call 1t,
and from five or six a day it's got down
to one every half hour. The strange part
of it is that the alcohol has only the one
effect on me, seemingly stimulating the
cerebellum. l suppose in time I'll have
to take one every 10 minutes, or oftener,
and I'm afraid to think what the end will
be. The physicians tell me an operation
would set me straight, but there's a big
chance that l would never leave the OBJ
Grating table alive, and until the worst
comes I'll stick to the Manhattans."

of peasants with strings of gayly dressed

of the long-cherished secrets of the be-

When the afternoon has arrived and
the white men come out from the dim
interior of their hut, the attentions and
the curiosity of the mob of villagers be-
come embarrassing. They line the paths
the white men tread: they follow them to

teries might drive an enemy off the sea,
but they could not prevent the blowing
up of a lock. To meet this danger it will
be necessary to see that the entire length

There are many means of accomplish

OF course all this will cost money At
present conservative estimates place the

900, and it is figured that it will require
the services of nearly 5000 soldiers to
properly protect the canal. Under these
circumstances it is possible that the gov

to say that if it is to be fortified at all the

SOME FRENCH MARRIAGES,

The Century: The marriage is arrang-
ed-the term has a more than usually
deep significance in France-and the pair
have a chance of living happily ever
after, if they know how to make the best
of 1T. 1t is no bad chance. Though the
French. marriage is not, in the first in
stance, based on love, it is supposed
never to take place until liking, at least,
is assured. The rest Is expected to come
as a matter of growth. The theory is
that any two persons of about equal age.
circumstances and breeding, if only they
start fair in friendship, will learn to love
eacn other by the mere accident of COM
panionship and the identity of interests,
The odd thing is that they very often
do.
The wife has been still more carefully
brought up, in her way. Nothing can ex-
coed the more than Hindu sanctitv of
know-nothingism in which the mind Of
the young French girl is shrouded from
birth. AT the convent she has had the
wall between her and a wicked world.
Her whole art of polite conversation with
a man is little more than "Oui, Nom
Sleur,' mon, Monsieur" After a dance
she must be safely and swiftly deposited
"a sort OF returned empty-by her moth
er's side, and during that brief flutter Of
freedom 1t is not good form to AXE adj
vantage of the absence of the parent bird.
A few observations on the weather and
the picture galleries are considered to
mark the limit of taste. "Gyp'' has as
sured US IN many a cyn1c page that the
ingenue is not half such a simpleton as
she looks. But it must not be forgotten
that "Gyp' has largely invented a type
for her W business uses. The rea! ar
ticle, while it is not exactly a lamb in
innocence, is still unaware of most
OF the evil going on the world. Here, as
military life was the great change for
the boy, marriage is the greater change
fer the girl. She passes at once into a.
sphere in which she is considered fair
game for any allusion to anything within
the bounds of good breeding. She rises
to her opportunity. or TO the stern duties
of her station, whichever way you choose
to put it. and in a surprisingly short time
comes out as the finished woman of the
| world. This is the French way, nei-
Their blame it nor defend it, do not even
try to account for it. l simply say what
it is.
