Whintlcr,s Finc Airs.

Mortimer Menpes, the artist, in his
book on Whistler, says; Sometimes
we visited dealer who owed him
money. and Whistler would receive a
check. Once the check was not handed
to him in what he thought sufficient
ly dignltied manner, and he said to the
dealer: This is careless of you. You
push this check toward me, and you
do not realize what privilege 1t is TO
be able to hand 1t to the master. You
should offer 1t on rich old English
salvG and In kingly way once a
dealer borrowed gorgeously embossed
silver salver for the occasion. and when
the master arrived for his check-he
was very punctual-presented 1t on the
salver with carefully worded and
elegant little speech that he had taken
some pains to rehearse. The master
was pleased. This, said he, is as 1t
should be-"

RoNted by Puppets.

Toward the close of the reign Of
Elizabeth, when the Spaniards were
frequently lowering about the SOUTH
west coast of England, a party from
their ships landed in the neighborhood
Of where Falmouth stands today, with
the intention of burning the borough Of
Penryn. II CHANGED, however, that that
same evening some strollers had set
up in Penryn market place a repre-
sentation by puppets Of certain Incl
dents in the life of Samson, including
his victory over the Philistines.
At the point of Samson's onset upon
these with the jawbone of the ass the
strollers beat drums and sounded trum-
pets indicative Of an alarm, and the
Spaniards, who were at that moment
about to rush the town, believing 1t to
be full of soldiers, bolted for their
boats
This probably occurred in 1895, when
there was a Spanish squadron on the
coast, which landed troops and burned

Sport on the Knfue River.

A trader in ivory and rubber writes
as follows of sport on the Kafue river,
in Africa: every morning at daybreak
we got up and scanned the plains with
our glasses for game. Often our boys
called us first to say that herd of wa

the tiger fish and big barbel gave the
best sport. Spoon bait, with strong
pike tackle and n stiff bamboo rod.

repeatedly, very often succeed in shak.

And at the end Of ten days Slow

On the last day Miss Pamela Sprigys
came to see Mr.. Rutherford. He re-
membered her as a middle-aged spin

Slowford folk had looked at him

Mr.. Rutherford rose from his seat

in thought. He came up to Miss

brusQuely.

The next day Mr.. James Rutherford

to the station by nearly all the popu-

hearty send-off.

Bridges In Korea.

Some idea of the delights Of travelling
in Korea is given by the following de,
scription by a traveller Of the bridges
In that country: A first class bridge in
Korea is simply an assortment Of
planks nailed together. These are
scarce A second class bridge is a
series Of isolated stones, from one to
another of which the visitor may jump.
A third class bridge, much the COM
monest variety, is invisible, its position
being indicated by couple of posts,
one on each side Of the river. They
mean that you may safely wade across,
as the water will-probably-not go
much above your chest!

Cannon Of 1872.

Cannon were small, measured by
modern standard, in 1872, but the Ohio
world was quiet, and the pioneers had
keen senses. There is much evidence
that the guns of Perry's squadron were
heard by settlers living at least thirty
five miles east Of Cleveland, or nearly
100 miles in an air line from the scene
Of the famous fight which gave the
control of the lakes above Niagara
falls to the Americans and did much
to save the northwest for the United
States.
