The EngIIshman Caught On.

An Englishman on his first visit TO
this city with his family strolled down
Broadway alone one night and dropped
into a music hall. He had hardly been
seated before two sketch artists perpe-
trated the following:
Persifiage-Hear about Jones? Terri
BILE thing happened to Jones.
Badinage-No.
Persilage-Yes. He dropped $50 feet.
Badinage-You don't tell me? OF
course he was killed?
Persifiage-No, not killed. They were
pigs feet.
a half hour later the Briton grasped
his sides and startled the house with
an outburst of cacbinatory ecstasy. Re
covering, he jumped up. hurried out Of
the music hall and soon reached his no.
tel. He stopped outside the door Of his
room and gave way again to a soul stir
ring laugh. Entering the room he i'm
mediately called TO his wife:
Edith" he cried. "Oh, this is the jol-
lest everm and he gave way again.
! His wife looked at him in frightened
surprise
ooh, Edith, did you ever hear about
Percy Smithers?"
4 mo"
bah Jove, the poor fellow fell $50
feet"
How dreadfuIIy horridI He must
have been awfully mangled."
''No. He fell on $50 pigs" and he ex-
ploded again and did not subside until
a half dozen bell boys rushed to his
room TO make solicitous Inquiries

DOWia.

"All who believe that am the prOph-
ct Elijah, stand up" shouted DOwie.-
The audience of 1900 persons arose to
its feet. The remaining two or three
million of Chicagoans paid no atten-
ton they had got used to these little
side shows. Not so elsewhere. Mil
was shocked Oshkosh was alarmed :;
Madison was both. E Ceterd. The
way these things effect men depends
good deal upon habit, and how busy
one is. Chicagoans are usually pretty
busy. They don't know but some day
Dowie may command his little cOngre-
CATION to smite the Amelekites hip and
thigh, or blow down all the Chicago sky
scrapers with rams horns. Neither do
they know but that some day the bottom
of lake Michigan may take a notion to
be on top and spill tidal wave that
will scatter Chicago about among the
mOraines of the glacial period. And
perhaps if they took time to think about
it, they might conclude that to let Dow
lie and his congregation do their worst
they can't do much compared with the
evil and crime that-is being committed
every day by governments in the name
of law, or religion, or justice, or any
other of the usual excuses of hypocrisy.
But the world has got used to war. 1t
really is not the awfulness of what
Dowie or his people might do. 1t is the
novelty of the thing. Here we have a
man who claims to be the mouth piece
of Yahveh; owes allegiance to Yahveh;
is waiting the orders of Yahveh, and
will surely attempt to execute those
orders when they come to him. And he
has 5000 followers, mostly women and
children. He might do some harm :;
there could be an eruption which might
result in the death of a few hundred
people, DOwieites and others and per-
haps fire department would have to
be called out, as well as the police
What of it A world accustomed to
war, world that loves war, to go into
fits at the mere supposing of the case.
Oh, fiddlesticks Chicago can get
along with Dowie, or without him, and
no matter what he does it won't affect
Chicago perceptibly. Outside of Chi
cago it will not worry any except those
who have nerves." or space in daily

AN ENDURING CURSE.
A Famous English Family That PEI

A Famous English Family That Per-
ished by Fire and Water.
The attempt Of the Midhurst district
council to convert the famous "Close
Walks"-four old yew avenues-at
Cowdray. in Sussex, into an arrange
ment of sewage tanks recalls a creepy
story of fulfilled curse At the disso-
luton of the monasteries Sir Anthony
Browne obtained grant of Battle Alb
hey and the priory of Eastbourne, the
parish in which the ruins of Cowdray
are situated. and according to a pic
turesque tradition one of the monks
cursed him to his face and prophesied
that "by fire and water his race
should perish out of the land What
foundation there may be for the story
no man can say, but unquestionably
the Brownies did so perish.
George Samuel Browne, eighth Wis
count Montague and owner of Cow
dray, who was engaged to Miss Coutts,
sister to Lady Burdett-Coutts' mother,
was drowned in the falls of Laufen-
burg in 1893. The messenger who

He was succeeded by a distant rela-
tive, a Roman priest, who was dis
pensed from his vows that he might
marry and continue the line, but he
died a few months afterward and the
title became extinct. The estates went
to the drowned viscount's sister, whose
two sons were drowned together at
Bognor in 1915. 1t is weird story

The Perplexity of n Typewriter Girl
With Social Possibilities.


The pretty typewriter girl appeared
to be worried over something.
"Wel," she exclaimed, there's one
thing bothering me most to death.

gratified because my employer is old
and rich and is looking for a pretty
young wife, and may be it. If 1 am,
I'm not much afraid of anything may
get nt.t TO in the circle in which l
shall move except how and when to
get the correct sound to the letter "a
so as to show the difference between
the classes and the masses. 1 have
heard enough swell people talking in
our office to know that to be a real So
ciety person l must use the broad "a
in the right place, but I'm not sure Of
myself. Maybe everybody that uses
the broad "a. isn't in society, but I'm
sure everybody in society uses the
broad "a and l want to know how to
do it like the real thing.
81 don't find much trouble in saying
'cahn't,' but ought to say calm or
calm not? If not, why not? I'm just
sure to get all mixed up if 1 say L cam
and follow it right away with I
cahn't,' and Pm sure 1 never could do
a thing like that in society and live.
1t would be a dead give away, wouldn't
it? But worse than that is half past,
like half past A. for instance. Some
times 1 get it 'hahlf past and some
times half pahst,' and sometimes
habit pahst,' and sometimes plain half
past and 1 just don't know what to
do with myself. Now, which is it, and
however am l to get it right and make
it stay right? Goodness knows I've
tried hard enough.
''Then there is and 1 always called
it by it's name and thought everybody
else did, but the other day heard
some society people calling it 'ahnd.'
Do you suppose that is the proper
thing? My employer says 'cahn't' and
'shahn't,' but he doesn't say 'ahnd,'
and he lives on Connecticut avenue. Or
do l say in Connecticut ahvanue? |
notice some of the newspapers say in

are not in society, are they? l can say

enough, but think of that word after

very often, but it is more of give
away to get a word wrong that isn't
common than it is the common kind,
don't you think? l say what of
course. just as the swells do, but If l
said 'thaht' wouldn't society people
think was a servant girl out Of place?
Thank goodness there is one word

nounce it just too lovely for anything,
and that is advantage l feel like l
was the real thing when l say it, and,
don't you know, when hear anybody
say advantage it does sound too fat
and common for any use. l do think it

CITY SCHOOL NEWS.

Last Friday afternoon the grades
field meet was held though, owing to
the heavy track and stiff breeze the
youngsters were unable to make as
good time as they wished. During the
intervals between the various events,
some sub-primary aspirants for athletic
fame kept things lively by tumbling
head first over the hurdles and making
most extraordinary broad jumps. 1t
was worth the price of admission to
watch some little chap, handicapped by
heavy shoes and coat win race from
competitors who had all the advantages
of regular track attire. Excitement
ran high and the enthusiasm was as
great among the little fellows as the
big ones; each of these events as i'm
portant to them as the Madison meet
among their elders. Most of the regu
lar track team were present, helping the
managers bring order out of chaos OF
$50 lively boys, and coaching up their
favorites in the races. Some very good
material was exhibited and this en-
thusiasm, if kept up, among the lower
classes, promises well for the high
school track team.

When he presented several of the

Schultz made rOusing speech over
the Madison meet, saying that we
would much rather come home deserv-
ing first place and having fourth than
to come home with first place taken by
foul means; he also gave encourage
ment to the younger athletes by show
ing how Breitkreutz had not always
been fine runner, but by persist
ent effort and training had reached his
present high standard. And speaking
of Briefly" a recent Cardinal in re
viewing the U. of w. athletic work,

addition to the team. Wausau has al
