He w.. Up to the Limit.

A young society woman tells a story
Of very little newsboy who so appre-
ciated her kindness to him at news
boys dinner that he went to the extent
Of great suffering for her sake. A.
least she thinks 1t was appreciation,
but others have doubts. At all events.
the young woman who. with a number
Of others, was engaged in serving the
boys, noticed this little boy way OF at
one end of the table. Many OF his lar
ger fellows were already hard at work
on the various good things, but this lit
tie fellow had evidently been neglected.
Clearly here was case Of urgent char
ity, so the amateur waitress few to his
side, and for an hour she saw to II that
he did not lack for anything. Plate
after plate of turkey was literally
showered upon him. Finally. as she
set another piece Of plum pudding In
front Of him. he rolled his eyes meekfy
toward her and said In muffied tones:

K.il and Kiplins Medley.

Mr.. Barrie was one day at Waterloo
station in hurry to catch train. He
was Fastening from the bookstall
laden with papers, "a good many six
penny ones among them" he dolefully
relates, when, in rushing around a
corner, he fell into the arms Of Rud-
yard Kipling, equally in tearing hur-
ry. They turned on each other with
scowling faces, then smiled in recogni-
ton and asked each other whittier he
went. Then Kipling, exclaiming,
Lucky beggar, you've got papers!'
seized the bundle from Barrie. fung
him some money and made Off. "But
you did not stoop to pick UP his dirty
halfpence, did your" queried one of
Mr.. Barrie'S hearers amusedly. Didn't

ruefully, "But he hadn't flung me half
enough."-St. James Gazette.

odd Features of French Elections.

There are some curious features con-
nected with French parliamentary elec-
tons For instance, no wall literature
issued by a candidate or his friends
may be printed on white paper, white
being the color reserved for official an
nouncements. In the days of the en-
pire, when official candidates were
known In the land, the addresses of
the governments nominees were print
ed on white paper, and this no doubt
had due weight with the more ignorant
voters. Again, any elector whose name
Is mentioned In newspaper can, IL he
feel himself aggrieved. call upon the
editor to publish reply. This, how
ever, is not confined to elections, but
is right enjoyed by French citizens
under the law Of the country.-London

The Pig In Water.

or pigs 1t is commonly reported that
SO queerly fashioned are they that II
they attempt to swim they cut their
throats with their fore feet, but this is
only an old wife's fable. Whether wild
or tame, they are all good swimmers,
though. owing to the shortness Of their
legs, they just touch their throats with
their fore feet and beat the water very
high. Many of the islands Of the south
ern seas are now inhabited by wild
pigs, which are the descendants Of
those which have swum ashore, some
times great distances, from wrecked
vessels. -Peterson's Magazine.

"When all other methods Of control

THE FINISH WAS CLOSE.
Oxford Won Boat Race from Cam.

CAMBRIDGE LOOKED LIKE THE WINNER

London, March 3o--The closeness Of the
finish OF the oxford cambridge race, which
was rowed this morning over the course
from Putney to Mort Lake, which is ofn'
cially given as two-ffths Of a length Is
evidence Of the doggedness Of the contest
Cambridge won the toss and chose the sur
rey side. half gale was blowing from

drew near and the water was so rough
that the choice of positions was considered
a great advantage and but for the gen
eralship OF Culme. Seymour, oxford's
stroke. It might easily have given the race
TO the light blues. as 1t was, the specta-
tors were treated to a rare race, the rivals
leading alternately until they reached the
Tborneycrofts, where 1t looked as II the
odds were on Cambridge. Shortly after
ward Culme.seymour called upon his men
and desperate race ensued along the
banks by the meadows.
Cambridge, though distressed, replied
splendIdIy to the oxonians' challenge and
shot by Barnes bridge looking Ike win
ners II was, however, an expiring EFFORT
and Oxford, keeping an even pace, wore
down the opposing crew and won In TWEEN
ty-two minutes and thrty-one seconds.
1t was a grand race and both crews were
greatly distressed at the finish.
