A Fitting ReDlY.

Major Lomax of the United States
army was visiting in Canada soon
after the war of 1912. He was enter
tanned in Quebec by the officers of one
Of the royal regiments.
After dinner speeches and toasts be-
ing in order, one of the British officers,
having imbibed too generously Of the
champagne, gave as toast, 1.-THE Pres
ident Of the United States, Dead or
Alivew The toast was accepted with
laughter.
Major LomaX rose to respond, saying,
Permit me to give as my toast, The
Prince Regent, Drunk or Soberv" The
British officer sprang instantly to his

Old Tudor Ghosts.

At Hampton court palace, near Lon
don, are, according to report, several
ghosts, all Of which belong to the Tu
dor period. First is Jane Seymour"
says a writer, 'who, clad in white gar
ments and carrying lighted candle.
ascends the queens staircase on the
anniversary of the birth of her son,
Edward vi. The ghost was laid by
the opening up of the staircase. Mrs.
Penn, the nurse and foster mother of
Edward VI, is the most persistent
ghost. Since her grave was disturbed
in Hampton church her gaunt figure in
a long gray robe has walked the vicin-
ity of her old rooms, and the whirring
of her spinning wheel has been heard
by several people. The board of works
instituted an inquiry and discovered a
walled up room with an old spinning
wheel. the treadle of which appeared
to have worn the oaken flooring. The
third Tudor ghost Is Catherine Howard,
who is reputed to haunt a gallery
about to be opened to the public"

A Funny Blunder.

According to Law Notes, Sergeant
Ballantine used to tell this story on
Lord Chief Justice Cockburn Of Eng
land: One night while Ballantine was
passing along Piccadilly he came
across a policeman who was arresting
a woman he claimed was drunk. He
stopped to expostulate and stated that
the woman seemed to be i'll rather than
intoxicated. Just at this time Lord
Cockburn, who was then attorney gen.
eral, came by on his way home from
the house of commons and joined in the
discussion. Immediately another Of
ficer rushed up and, Selling Cockburn
by the collar, exclaimed, II arrest you
Also" Arrest mel" cried the astonish-
ed attorney general. "What for?"
"Oh," replied his captor, ''for many
things. You are we'll known to the po-
lice"

and provision. On board the ships
when they arrived there were 143
wounded, most if not all of whom are
now in Uncle Sans hospitals at Ma
Mia. Admiral Enquist reported to
Rear Admiral Train, Z. S. n, that his
ships were crippled and without coal
or provisions and unable to proceed.
Admiral Train and his squadron ac-
companied the Russian vessels to
Manila.
Rear Admiral Train appointed a
board to investigate the condition Of
the ships, and an Associated Press dis
patch from Manila says that the board
has reported that to put the ships in
condition to go to sea the Oleg will re-
Quire sixty days, the Aurora thirty
days and the Jemtchug seven days.
Washington, June 6.-Secretary Taft
cabled Governor Wright at Manila, to
Inform Admiral Enquist that in strict

adopted by this government he will be
allowed to intern his ships, the Aurora
Oleg and Jemtchug at Manila. In case

alternative. after the period allowed
by interna tiOnal law has expired, will
be to put to sea. 1t is fully expected
here that Admiral Enquist will decide
to intern his ships.

Anything Else.

Russians More Cast Down Over That Than
Anything Else.
st. Petersburg, June 3.-Feeling in
the admiralty against Rear Admire
NebOgatOff continues to run high, the
majority Of the naval authorities being
deaf to the appeals of the few who in
sist that the admirals action in sur
rendering his warships should not be
condemned until the circumstances be-
come fully known. The majority say
they could forgive everything but sur
render, it being tradition that Rus
sian naval commander never surren-
ders. When the Russian warship Ra
phael, in 1929, struck it's colors to three
Turkish ships which surrounded it
Nicholas meted out a terrible punish
that all of them should be shot after
their exchange.
London, June 3-The Toxic CORE
spOndent of The Daily Telegraph says
it is stated that when Rear Admiral
NebOgatOff surrendered the Russians
hoisted red flags ON their topmasts,
with Russian flags below them. The
crews were drawn up in parade order
on the decks. and some of the sailors
were waving white flags.
There is story that the reason Nebo-
gatoff surrendered was that his crew
was in mutiny because with 800 dead
and wounded on his hands he threw
overheard 40 of the MORALLY wounded
There is also another story that his
ships were scarcely Scared, and some
people ask whence the 300 dead and
wounded then?
