She Gets Cigars.

A nice looking woman walked into
one of the stores of the tobacco octopus
the other night and asked to see some
of the stores best cigars. The clerk
handed out dozen boxes In a jiffy.
While the new patron was taking a
dry Whit of each fifteen men lined IN
along the counter to make various pur.
chases. They might just as wen have
been wooden Indians as far as the one
clerk was concerned But Just about
the time the entire Jine began to dis.
play a nervous desire to get away, the
fair one selected 12-cent cigar with
a bright band, and asked the customer

good one

Then will you please wrap this one

1t took the clerk FIVE minutes TO
change the bill, and then he tripped on
an empty cigar box and dropped all
the coin. 1t was finally handed to the
purchaser When she had her hand on
the door knob she thought Of the cou.

British House of Commons IL the Beat
CARRIED Body In the World.
Taking it all round the House Of
Commons is the best dressed assembly
In the world. 1t has an air of good
breeding, Of men accustomed to draw
ing-rooms and good society. The gen.
eral department comes up to a fairly
high average. You see honorable
members wearing their hats in the
house and the sight offends, but that
Is not point Of manners, but a Gus
tom with a picturesque history at the
back Of 1t. You sometimes, too. see
honorable members asleep and you
often hear unmannerly Interruptions
from the Irish and tory benches. On
the other hand, you never see an En-
glish M, p, as have often seen an
American Congressman, enjoying the
luxury Of dry smoke" and relieving
himself by profuse splitting.
The House, too, Is much more pune
tilious than Congress on the small
points of order. Whenever member
violates them he is instantly hauled
up, not merely by the speaker, but by
his fellow members, to many OF whom
1t is part Of the spice of life to pounce
upon offenders. AS for the oratorical
standard Of the House it is difficult to
speak with precision. The late EN-
press Of Austria used to say that she
saw more good and more bad riding in
the English shires than anywhere else
in the world. Much the same sort of
criticism might be passed on parlia.
mentary eloquence. Some of it is ex-
ceedingly good, better, 1 think, than
anything one is likely to hear in Con-
gress, but much of 1t is atrocious. On
the whole, in this, as in many other
spheres Of Anglo-American compare.
tves, / should be inclined to say that
while the House of Commons best ia
better than the Congressional best,
the House of Commons average is be-
low the Congressional average.-Har.

"Closing the door as he spoke, he step
ped into the hall and stood face to face
| with Antoine Duval, the valet of his
1 brother Reginald, and from the conscious
look he gave him, Fitzroy knew that he
had either purposely listened or acci-
dentally heard the unfortunate remark.
"The brothers did not meet again that
day, but early the next, Fitzroy was
awakened by an unusual tumult. To his
horror he was told that Sir Arthur had
disappeared during the night. His bed
had been occupied as usual, but he had
probably been murdered or very badly
wounded, as while no traces of his body
could be found, evidences Of a contest
were on every side.

and then by means Of a rope let down to
the ground below. From the grass to an
ornamental lake not far distant were
irregular patches Of the same human
gore. Beyond that, nothing was ever
discovered! That lake was thoroughly
dragged for the body; the grave by the
side of 1t was searched, not a spot being
left in which corpse could be buried
to no effect.
"But, while stupefed with grief over
his brothers loss, our poor friend was
made aware that the finger of suspicion
pointed to him with singularly fatal eyi-
dences of guilt.
"A dagger with his name engraved
upon the handle was found by the he'd.
side, on the floor, Its blade still wet with
blood. Beneath the window seat. caught
upon a nail, was a fragment of cloth
which, upon search being made. fitted

own closet.
"All he could conclude was that some
unknown enemy had struck the fatal
blow, and after stealing these articles
from his private rooms, had left the
dagger purposely upon the floor, and re-
turned the torn and bloody gown to the
closet, in order to fasten suspicion upon
him, and thus shield themselves.

"The trial was quite lengthy, but re-
suited In his acquittal and discharge
from custody. But although freed by
law, the popular opinion remained un-

averted looks of his former friends, he
left his home and embarked for America
under an assumed name.
ARRIVING in New York, the strain of
grief that he had undergone so told upon
his nervous system that he was laid

was that your father sought him out and

hold the. villains wicked work.
Tonight she supplemented her stage
horror with cry more natural. Lady
Gwendolin fell with her face toward
the audience, that they might marvel
at the play Of her facial expression
as she slowly died from the effects Of
Maltravers' cruel blow. There on the
back Of the black satin were the marks
Of mans fingers clearly outlined In
white.
In a flash IL all came to her. Hugh
Cameron, who played Maltravers was
the only person who left the stage He
made his exit from the very window
cut of which she had been looking. All
Of the other characters were supposed
to enter from the castle on the opposite
side Of the stage.
1t was an easy matter to chalk the
legend while she was having her scene
with Miss Carleton. Then when he
fed from the consequence of his mur-
derous assault he could rub oft the
chalk marks.
Only the black satin dress had been
out of his calculations. When he had
grappled with Lady Gwendolin, the
chalk from his imperfectly cleaned
fingers had left their mark. On the old
white dress they had not been notice
able.
All through the last act the incident
kept running through her head. She
liked Cameron very much, better than
anyone else in the company. He lad
been so kind to her In many ways so
deferentlal she could not believe
that he had sought to insult her She
could not even imagine him doing such
thing even for joke. He was not
that sort of man.
1t hurt her to think that he had a
hand In his joke. Just as the curtain
fell at the close Of the act she turned
to Cameron.
II should like to speak to you after
you have changed" she said simply.
He bowed, but it was with no easy
heart that he awaited her coming on
the dark stage.
She broached the subject directly.
"Mr. Cameron" she demanded "why
do you annoy me by chalking such alb
surd sentiments underneath the win.

THE OLD, SWEET FIELDS.

Yonder. where the valley is
Where the rivers rush,
"WelcomeW sings the mockin'b bird,
"Howdyw pipes the thrush.
And to the host O. them we say,
We've come to spend holidayg
Sure, that birds sweet singing
Sounds familiar still;
Valley-voices bringing
Echoes from the hill!
That voice--we heard 1t far away
Sweet calling to child at play.
And there are wild, sweet joys there,
Where barefoot fellows roam
just as of old, the boys there
They drive the cattle home.
And some one near the battle-bars
Looks winsome meath the twilight stars
o loved, remembered placesl
! greet you once again;
Recalling In strange faces
Youths passion and It's pain!
But, more than all, its joy-that seems
An echo in an old mans dreams!

Had Believed Port Arthur the Main
Objective of Japanese.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 5.-The army
organ makes no effort to foreshadOw
events of the immediate future in the
Far East and gives no clue to Genel al
Kuropatkin's intentions, but it de-
clares that events of the last ten days
demonstrate conclusively that the
Japanese objective since the beginning
of the war had been to strike the main
army of the Russians and not, as pop
ularly supposed, to take Port Arthur.
The paper says the Japanese general
advance began July %, the taking of
Tatchekiao being signal for the final
struggle in the valley of the Lao
river. On July 81, after six days
preparation, the armies of Generals
Oku and Nodzu moved against Hal
cheng. The same day General kuroki
began his advance upon Liaoyang
rushing the position of the Russian
Eastern army at Yangse pass and that
of General Herschelmann at Yushu
pass, equivalent to the Japanese Yu
shulintzi. This paper estimates the
strength of Kurokis army at 10000
men, of which number $4,000 are or

BEGINS AN INVESTIGATION.
German Government Looking Into The
Sinking Of the Thea.

German Government Looking Into the
Sinking Of the Thea.
Berlin, Aug 5.-The German govern
ment has instituted an investigation
into all the circumstances connected
with the sinking of the German
steamer Thea by the Vladivostok
squadron off the coast of Japan, pre-
paratory to making representations at
st. Petersburg. Among the questions
subject to the inquiry is the amount
of coal on board, whether it was too
little to enable her to steam to Vladi-
vostok, and also the proportion of pro-
visions in her cargo, whether it exceed
ed half the cargo, thus subjecting the
vessel to capture under the Russian
Prize regulations. Germany, apparent.
~, Is doing nothing to clear up the
matter through her commercial agent
ut Vladivostok. who is Russian sub
ject. The German government admits
that Vice Admiral Skrydlon acted
within the Russian prize regulations
In capturing the Thea, but the officials
intimate that the foreign Office Ques.
tons the right of capture when pro.
visions are consigned to private firms
instead of to hostile government
The foreign Office. however, says nc
serious complications will grow out Of
the case. 2$i Nv. .s.f :, -a:....s, III
