sz- A colonel of a British regiment in
South Africa, who was repairing a
railroad after one of General DeWets
many breakages, discovered a hne
empty house, which he proceeded to
occupy as headquarters.
When the news of the colonel's COM
Portable quarters reached Bloemfonteln
he received a telegram which read:
&c. T. M. wants house"
The colonel was unable to make out
what &c. T. NJ" meant, and inquired
of officers, who translated it General
Traffic Manager"
"All right" said the colonel. "If he
can use hieroglyphics so can T."
So he wired back:
&c. T. NJ. can G. T. H."
Two days later he received a dis
patch from Bloemfontein ordering him
to attend a board of inquiry. On ap-
pearing in due course, he was asked
what he meant by sending such an in
sulting message to a superior officer.
Insulting" repeated the colonel, in
nocently; lit was nothing of the kind"
But what do you mean," demanded
his superior, "by telling me I can G..
T. H."
1T was simply an abbreviation," re-
piled the colonel, &c. T. NJ. general
traffic manager) can G. T. H., get the
house."

past Jews of all nationalities, even Ot-
toman subjects born in Palestine, have
been forbidden to buy landed proper
ty in Palestine. M. Fernandez has now
secured for Jews who have been settled
in the Holy Land for a considerable
time, whether subjects of Turkey or Of
foreign powers, the right to buy "miri''
agricultural land) and to have the
property inscribed in their own names.
The special Importance of this con-
cession lies in the fact that, while
"mulk" (town land) is owned by pri-
vate individuals. ''miri" is the prop
erty Of the sultan.
The Trade from the sultan lays stress
upon the fact that the government
knows no difference of creed, and that
Jews enjoy the same rights and privil-
eyes as other creeds.

NOT ENTIRELY ALoNE.-As he enter

down and familiarly observed:

MARKS or THE MERCHANT.

Did you ever notice the queer little
letters on the outside Of the boxes In
the shops and wonder what they
meant? For instance when the girl
at the glove counter handed you the tan
SKIES, did you not note on the edge of
the box a legend something like this,
"Ti-Gee," or something on that order?
To be sure you have.
Those marks mean something. They
say to the clerk or to the chief Of the
store: II was bought for rs cents and I
am selling for 81. Look at me, and OBJ
serve my proper PRIDE" or words to
that effect.
Ten letters are required to carry out
the plan-that Is, letter for each nu-
neral from 1 to O. The terms most in
use are "gas-fixture," "black horse. "
misfortune" importance" BLACK
stone" fish tackle" leash profit" 80
friendly" "gainful job," "joiners' tax, ,"
brown sugar." now be sharp" "elu-
cidator," and "of industry"
Each of these words or phrases con-
tains ten letters and only ten letters
and there is no letter repeated. Sup
pose the private mark to be "brown
sugar." and the article tagged a cut
glass decanter. There is apt to be some
such combination as this on it, War

Is frequently the practice to avoid repe-
titions by using some other letter which

to an ugly tragedy in German garri-

between two officers; but never took

and murdered the other officer in cold

and explained that as his brother, a

killed in the duel, he, a single man.
had elected to die in his place, even as

AN OBSTINATE DOCTOR.
He Won't Go Back to France, Marry
 and Get SOO,O0O Francs.


 Because he will not go to France and marry there, Dr. Leon B. Van de Cruyssen, of 621 Kansas avenue, Arm ourdale, Is being denied an inheritance of 800, 900 francs-equal to about $165,- 900 in United States currency. The legacy is one-f1fth of the Van de Cruyssen estate of about 100000 francs, which is being held in trust in France for five heirs The estate can- not be divided until all the heirs con form to the requirements of the will governing it, one of which provides that all must marry. Although he knows that he would be made well off by com plying with the marrying section of the will. pr. Van de Cruyssen says he pre- fers to remain single, and as a result the whole estate Is tied up.
 The division of the Van de Cruyssen estate has hinged upon the action of pr. Van de Cruyssen regarding the marriage provision of the will for a number of years It was at first limit ed to January 1, 1900, by which time he was to have chosen a bride in France, but later, through some process of law, the time was extended. pr. Van de Cruyssen was married once since he
