A DeatlAl.ch Pm

Puck relates II story concerning the
late Senator Alexander T. Goodwin of
Utica, who left behind him the reputa-
ton of never having been too tired
nor too Ill to give or take joke Dur
Ing his last illness relative, knowing
the senator's extreme fondness for
branded peaches, sent to his sickroom
a small jar of that most delicious pre-
serve. a few days later the relative
called and was admitted to the slick
room. Quickly turning on his pillow
and without giving his caller time to
extend the usual formalities, the sick
man exclaimed. My dear Louise, how
can | ever thank you for those deli
cious branded peaches!' II thought
you would appreciate them, Alcxan-
der" returned the caller modcstly
'Ah, yes; all. yes" he nssented, with a
smile which broudened and finally
broke into Il chuclsle that seemed al
most noisy In the hush of the sick
room, as he added, And how much
more appreciated the spirit in which

died during their honeymoon. The glrl

far travels. In year or two her
friends hear that sne is welded to
some foreigner whom. ii she does not
win by her charms alone, she gets by
her affection plus dot. In year or
two she returns to Russia q broken

1t is considered bad form to mention

this goes to show in what high repute
Russian women regard the Institution

tlon on the firing line. The fire from
the British batteries across the river
was very heavy during the preliminary
part of the assault, and shells literally
rained on tile low lying kopjes occu-
pied by Bothn's army. Meyer thought
he saw IL good opportunity to secure a
fine picture. and lie jumped out of his
'schanze" to snap II.
