STRANGE PREDICAMENT

PARIS. Jan. 23.-Just now Paris is
wondering whether Sergt Raffalo-
witch, of the 25th infantry, will be-
come a bone of contention in inter-
national circles. His case is peculiar

authorities something to bubble over.
His father, who was Russian bank

and his mother soon afterwards mar
ried Count de la Chaise, a French
cavalry officer. Until 1S the boy sup
posed himself a Frenchman. At that
age his mother naturalized him as
French subject and advised that he
enter the army, promising speedy adj
vancement.
Young Raffalovitch enlisted and
was soon made a sergeant. Soon af-
terward he received notice that his
father had left 100000, and he was
the only heir. Refusal to grant him
a furlough to claim this fortune caus-
ed the sergeant to desert. He remain

pole after it was removed from it's

least strange coincidence that every
member of the party should die so

United States.

him, it is said, because he is Rus

STA has claimed him as subject to
military duty in the japanese crisis.

THE KITCHEN NOTEBOOK.

oh, dear, sighed young housekeep-
e., recently, my canned strawberries are
all gone. We ate SO many last spring that
we really didn't feel that we ever wanted
to see another strawberry, and yet the
canned Strawberries tasted so good that
we have eaten them all and the winter is
only just beginning"
This is the experience of many house
keepers. When fruit is plentiful we see
and eat so much of it that we feel that
we have had enough for all time, but when
the winter comes we see our mistake.
To avoid this error in planning for the
winter supply, the housekeeper Just men,
toned is keeping a notebook; she is put

Gus fruits and the date upon which all Of
