delegates of France to the international PEACE
Conference and who is a member OF The Hague
Arbitration Tribunal has written strong con-
gratulatory letter to President Roosevelt on the
submission of the Venezuela arbitration to The

widely prevailing in official and diplomatic cir

tusts the immediate issue. but also saves The
Hague tribunal from practical extinction The

girl was bubbling over with rage. A

inches down the front, three-quarters

she talked she. ran the tape over the

bursting with Indignation. "Three
yards of lace, one and quarter Of in

trimming. "Put that down, Amy.

tunately asked for day to consider If
he could risk such sum, and Fielding
in the meantime met Thomson, the
poet, to whom he told the transaction.
Thomson scorned the idea of Fielding
parting with his brains for such a sum
and> offered to get him better terms,
but Fielding felt himself partly pledg-
ed. Never did author wait more anx-

Joyfully he carried his manuscript to
Thomson to fulfill his promise. The
poet introduced Fielding to Andrew
Miller, who handed the book over to
his wife to read. She discerned it's
merits ald advised her husband to
keep it. Over pleasant dinner giren
by Miller to Fielding and Thomson the
bargain was made which secured

Wasn't His Hat, Anyway.

MI Weddle, visiting his wife's rela-
tfves up in Maine, fairly had to go to
church that Sunday. He didn't want
to 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
alongside of her and gave herself up
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 a deacon began taking up the
collection in a 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 Wed
die, awakening with start, sat up
right and, bewildered, gazed at the hat
in the hand Of the deacon. Then he
shook his head sleepily and said:
"No; that isn't mine. Mine is gray
one."-New York Tribune.
