Some amusing instances of trans
lators' Misunderstanding are mention
ed by the London Daily News. An
Italian paper not long ago turned Mr..
Rudyard Kipling's "Absentminded Beg
gar" into a Distracted Mendicant."
A footnote to the same version explain
ed ''son of a Lambeth publican" as a
reference to Mr.. Krugerl The trans
lator who explains Is often lost.
Another italian editor who translat-
ed a passage from an English paper
about a man who had killed his wife
with poker added an ingenious foot
note to say, 1--WE do not know with GER
tainty whether this thing pokero, be a
domestic or surgical instrument"
In the French version of one of
Scott's novels Welsh rabbit has to be
dealt with. The translator, never hav-
ing met with that article of food, nat
urally turned it into "un lapin de
Gales" Unfortunately he had some
doubt whether his countrymen would
understand this and added lengthy
footnote describing how the peculiarly
delicious flavor of the rabbits of Wales
created n large demand for them in
Scotland. whittier they were exported
in bulk that would compare with the
trade of Ost ,rd.

when Lawton Wa. scared.

Major Putnam Bradlee Strong, who
was on the staff Of General Macarthur
in the Philippines says General Lawton
confessed to being afraid once In his life.
That was when he was riding with his
12-year-old son Manley past Paco ceme-
terry, at Manila. 1t seems that a Mon
tana detail had just buried a comrade
when a California burying detail came
up. Somehow they failed to get car
tridges and asked the Montanas for some.
The latter had nothing but ball car
tridges.
"Oh, they'll do" said the California
sergeant
Ready, irel' came the order a mo-
ment later.
The bullets went whizzing over the
grave and over the stone wall, on the
other side of which was riding General
Lawton, his head only few inches below
the wall The bullets made breeze as
they went past. "That was the only time
l can remember being scared" said the
general later, "but my boy spoke up and
said: Papa. Is this like being under real
fire? If it is, like it.'"-Army and

Distance OF the Dor-Star.

DR.. David Gill, whose measures of
the parallaxes Of the stars, by means
of which their distances can be calcu-
lated. are among the most accurate
known, has recently deduced anew the
results Of his observations of Sirius,
the dog-star, which is the brightest
star In the heavens. He thinks we may
now regard its parallax as satisfactor-
lily determined at 0.37 of a second of
arc. This makes the distance of Sirius
In miles 51,O00,OO0,0O0,OOO. In other
words, the dog-star is nearly FIVE hun
dred and fifty thousand times farther
from the earth than the sun Is.

A SONG FOR THE SELFISH.

When you and I were young, my dear,
Ere lines had marked your brow,
Ere God had sent the loved ones here
That cling about us now
When you and l were free from care,
We thought the world was very fair
When you and were young, my dear
But we are older now, my dear,
And worried by the cares
or those who cling around us here
And have their love affairs
Ere you were grieyed by others woes
You were as radiant as q rose,
But now your brow has burrows, deai
When you and l were young, my dear,
We thought the Lord was good,
But that was ere we had to bear
The weight of parenthoodE
The cares Of those we loved, sweetheart
A spice to human joys impart,
And feed the hungry soul, my dear.
When you and were young, my dear,
And neither knew a care,
l trod a pathway that was clear,
And let you, trembling, there
But the happiness of careless days
Has broadened In hundred ways
Since others cling about u.s. dearl

An Impartial woman.


"This is the grave of the most Impair
tial woman on record" said the guide
in Cave Hill cemetery to party who
visited the beautiful cemetery the 9TH
er day. Away over that second knoll
there Is a lot containing only two
graves, and the headstone of each Is
marked Father
"rhe woman who Is buried here was
married twice, and the two graves in
that lot are the graves of her two hus-
bands. She tried her best to treat her
second husband as she did the first,
and even when he died she had no idea
of showing any preference. But she
was sick when the funeral service of
her second husband was held. She di-
rected that the partner of her second
matrimonial venture be laid by the
side of the first, but that enough space
be left to bury her between the two.
"By some hook or crook mistake
was made, and when she visited the
cemetery she found that they were
buried side by side, with no space be

buried by the side of her first husband
1t would not be fair to the memory of
her last spouse, and vice versa. What
did she do? Why, when she died she
left request that she be buried In an
other lot, away from both Of them, and

LOVE HAS A vow.

They say, these critics wise and true,
That all life's tales are told,
That death lies meath the morning dew.
That the heart of the world Is coidi
The hero's dust, his red sword rust.
My lady sighs no more;
Good deeds of valor, love and trust.
Ha, ha, are poets lorei
But lips speak low, and hopes beat hight
Sweet faces fash and fade;
Brave souls bow down to the mystic skyi
Hoi Love has vow new made
And never a star o'er the western bar
Falls into the deep OF night
But thought is born that will burn far, far,
In the deathless soul OF the right
