Mr.. w. Pett Ridge tells in the Eng
lish Illustrated that the best repartee
he ever encountered was in the gal
lery of a theater. An extremely stout
good tempered woman contrived to
wedge herself into space that would
have accommodated person of ordi-
nary size, to the unconcealed annoy
ance of smartly dressed youth next
to her. She began to peel an orange,
and the youth, with gesture of com
plaint, removed his silk hat fussily to
a safer position.

woman, that you'd rather have had a
gentleman sitting by the side of you

The youth replied snappishly in the
affirmative.

Mr.. Weddle, visiting his wife's rela-
lives up in Maine, fairly had TO go to
church that Sunday. He didn't want
10 go but'his wife thought it would do
him good and would be apt to preserve
the harmony of the family.
The sermon was long and powder
dry, and Weddle stole off into the
arms of Morpheus gently and serenely.
AS he did not snore, his wife did not
suspect that he had gone to sleep

fully to inspecting the bonnet of the
woman in the pew in front.
Like all things good and bad, the
sermon came to an end at last, but
Weddle slumbered on like baby even
after deacon began taking up the
collection I'm q hat. When the derby
was passed to Weddle, Mrs. Weddle
was surprised to see that he did not
respond. She nudged him violently to
bring him back to his senses. and We'd

right and, bewildered, gaZed at the hat

happy to honor them as it also hon

other day on the steamship Lorraine,
says the New York Journal. Before
the big ocean liner departed the count
and countess had gracious words to
say Of their visit to America. Probably
most interesting were the observations
Of the bright and witty countess anent
her American sisters.
1.-THE American woman" said the
countess, clasping her hands and press
ing them prettily, "believe me, she is
superb. France has no more beautiful
daughters. Indeed, l am half moved
to doubt if they are as beautiful. ! do
not think that our Frenchwomen can
claim such exquisite compilations.

Of fat heeled boots horror. But If
the American girl for her golf sacrifices
daintiness of feet-oh, the pretty tan
she gets on her soft cheeks, the lovely
brown with the red beneath!
"They cannot surpass the French
woman in dress-that is, do not think
so." The countess was herself most
gracefully gowned in soft gray stuff.
II will not say, however, that they DO
not equal us. Some of the women-no,
some l have seen-wear what wo-

Personality of the Man.
No one has figured more prominently
In South African affairs since the out.
break OF the Boer war than Lord Al.
fred Miner, who has been governor OF
Cape Colony and high commissioner
OF South Africa since 1897. While Slr
Alfred's duties have not led to the
fighting line, as the head and front OF
the civil government he has led a
strenuous life.
The responsibilities resting upon him
by virtue of his position at the chief
base of supplies and operations In
South Africa have been very heav
and at times exceedingly trying. Yet
he has discharged them all in a man
ner that has won for him the praise
of his countrymen.
Lord Miner, who is now in his forty.
ninth year, can lay no claim to blue
blood, for while on his mothers side
he is the grandson of a British general
his father was Or. Charles Miner, a
professor of the University of Tubin.
gen. Young Miner was not only born
In Germany. but likewise received his
early training as a German boy at q
German school before going to Kings
college, and then TO oxford. where he
acquired much fame as a scholar.
After taking his degree young MIL.
ner studied law and was called TO the
bar in 1881. Not finding this to his
liking he entered journalism and be.
came member of w. T. Stead's Pail
Mall Gazette. He remained with the
Gazette until 1885, when he entered
politics.
His first essay in politics was disap-
pointing. He stood for parliament as
a Liberal and was defeated. For the
next three years he was private secre.
tary of Mr. Goshen, then chancellor OF
the exchequer. He was thus behind
the scenes while the great operation of
converting the English debt was going
on and acquired a knowledge Of finance
that has since been of great value.
Lord Miner, on the recommendation
of Mr.. Goshen, entered the Egyptian

Miss Walker Is Texas girl, who until
last fall had only been seen in small
parts in light comedy.
During the past season she played
in "Don Caesars Return" and also ap-
peared in "The Gentleman Of France"
with Kyrle Bellew, In neither of which
plays she had a chance to show her
quality.
When Miss Walker was given the
role Of the southern heroine Of "The
Crisis" by Mr.. Hackett, she at once
vindicated the faith he had in her abil-
ity, scoring a pronounced success.

MUNICIPAL ART.
An Old World Move ment TO Bea utility
the Great Cities.

A remarkable art movement, Of
which the Belgian Municipal Art as
ISOLATION was the initiator, has for
some time been active in Belgium.
The association has over 1000 mem
bers. including. besides artists, archi-
lect., sculptors and cngrayers, many
prominent public men, and has
branches in the great cities. The main
object Is to redeem the public thor
oughfare, from their ugliness, and
give back 10 them some Of that pic
turesque effect which the mansions
in the Grandes Places Of Brussels and
Antwerp and the town halls of Ypres,
O%udenarde and Bruges show that
they once had. The association is
subsidized by the municipalities Of
the leading cities. The improvements
largely take the direction Of beautiful
and appropriate facades to public and
private buildings. One Of these in
Brussels j; the shop of a fashionable
jeweler, another that of a chemist.
These creations are the work Of lead
ing artists. The movement has ex-
tended 10 Germany and Italy, and
there is plenty of scope for it here
