TRACING AN ERRING LETTER.
French Postal officials Require Time
for Such an Undertaking.

A young English woman Vlslung I'D
Paris received a note from a friend
SAYING that tickets had been sent py
an earlier post for concert to TAKE
Mace that afternoon, but wrong
street number was written by mistake
On the envelope. This, said the CORE
spondent. might make delay in the
arrival of the letter, and it would be
well to make inquiries at once at the
post of the nearest division.
Arriving at the postoffice OF our
quarter, made known my errand to
three young gentlemen in succession
The last young gentleman looked
I'D a long paper and demanded per-
emptorily my name, age, address and
birthplace He was proceeding to that
of nv father and mother when | sug-
eested that all this information, al
though doubtless of thrilling interest
to the postoffice, could scarcely assist
in restoring my lost letter, which con-
tanned tickets l must positively have
before / o'clock that day.
"Ha, it is then of letter LOST" he
cried, as though suddenly Illuminated
well, misdirected, as l have al
ready explained to three persons
here"
But it is not here where one brings
the letters which find themselves bad
ly directed. Those letters are united in
another department of the great post.
This document here he pointed TO
my biography, "the chief of the depart
ment will dispatch to the great post
One will make a communication %
you as soon as traces of the letter are
discovered"
1t was past II when l reached the
grand post, and I was sent to five
different departments before arriving
at the one for misdirected letters.
Feeling both snubbed and illused, 1
inquired whether before we proceeded
to fill in more forms this monsieur
would kindly tell me whether there
was the remotest chance of recovering
that letter before 2 o'clock
To-day! This day itself" he cried,
in shrill indignation. "Parbleau. but
you imagine to yourself, the, madam,
that the post conducts itself like an
automobile."
Il hoped that since my letter is here
actually here in this department.
that one could place the hand on it in
the course of two hours. In England,
continued, with fine outburst OF
patriotism, I'VE have such a perfectly
organized system that l should nave
the letter / required in ten minutes.
Remind yourself that England is.
after all, but an island. Here we al ,
in France" he threw back his head
proudly-"and here things march not
so quickly. 1t will, perhaps be fifteen
days before your case comes up. Each
must proceed in turn"
Then it is useless to go into the
matter l answered, and in deep de-
preston turned away.-Youths Com
panion.

HAD HIS DOUBTS OF THE JUDGE.

The late Judge ]. 1. Clarke Hare
said a lawyer of PHILADELPHIA awas
one day relating to me some of his
odd experiences on the bench.
He said that a certain man was
ABOUT to be tried in the commoRS
pleas. and showed a great disposition
10 challenge the jurymen.
Evidently the prisoner knew all
about the right to challenge. and
evidently he felt that the more
challenging he and his LAWYER did
the better his case would go for him.
FINALLY, though, mis- challenging
came to an end. He announced that
the Jury now satisfied him.
Your challenging is all over?
we cap now go on" said. with a
smile the attorney for the prosecu-
ton.
The jury is all right said the
out ! want to challenge the Judge.
I've oeen convicted under him sever
d umes before, and IT'S more than
I1Aeiy mes prejudiced against me- %

Thank, you; l am quite resolved to

Then" he said, and his voice drop
ped into its most musical key. may I
plead for the first waltz"
Leola nodded an assent, and, too
wise to strain an advantage, he
bowed over her hand and departed.
He had just cause to smile with self
graduation as he strobe across the
park-all was going well, even beyond
his expectations.
Let me but keep them apart for
twenty-four hours longer, and she is
mine," he murmured; "and once
mine, l will teach her to forget that
boor. / have learned to love her
for herself alone, I will teach her to
return my love. Philip thy star is
In the ascendant, and tonight decides
thy fate!"

CHAPTER XXI.

A little after midday the London
train steamed slowly into the Monts-
ford station. 1t was a slow train,
carrying not only passengers, but the
empty rlilk-cans and apple baskets
one OF those exasperating trains
which provided the travelling Yankee
to declare that II the engine-driver
would be kind enough to pull up he,
the Yankee, would get down and walk,
as he was in a hurry.
OF course there was no convey
ance TO meet him. and buttoning his
coat, for a strong, keen, east wind
was blowing, he ran down the steps.
BY the time he had reached the
farm gate his brow was black as
thunder with anger and bewilderment.
He swung the gate back and strobe
into the house. One of the dairy
maids, who was making butter. set
up a cry of dismay at his appearance
and fed.
The shout caused Mrs. Tibet,
who was at work in the kitchen, to
turn round, and at sight Of Cyril,
standing amazed in the doorway, she
dropped into chair and began TO
cry and rock herself to and fro.
Cyril stared at her with an angry
frown.
What In the name Of Heaven, is
the natter" he demanded, wiping
the perspiration from his brow.
"oh, Mr.. Cyril, and you've come

PoPulouS CHEESE.

A professor of the Swiss dairy
school Of Sonntal has compiled sta.
tistics of the number of micro-organ.
isms found in cheese. His experI.
ments lead to the conclusion that
every gram (one-thirtieth part of an
tSwiss) cheese contains between
10000 and 100000 living germs
After two months the number has
increased to 100000. Cream cheese
contains still larger number Of
animalculae, gram harboring after
three weeks 10000, rising 10

These figures apply only to the cent

rind families numbering 5,5Oo,o0O
bacteria may be found in every gram

cream cheese, the professor esu-

DID NOT TELL KAISER
He HAD A GRANDSON
snoc,aI came TO The TTeraId.

Special cable to The Herald.
BERLIN, Dec. LIT appears that
Emperor William received the first
authentic news Of the birth Of son
to the crown prince from the sultan
OF Turkey. Consequently one forgetful
diplomats career is ended.
During his majesty's cruise along the
coast of Norway and Sweden last July
Herr Stubel, German minister at stock
holm, boarded the imperial yacht. but
forgot to take with him a large num-
Der of dispatches addressed to the en-
peror, some of which announced the
birth OF his grandson and others con-
graduated him upon the event.
While taking dinner with the en-
peror the minister casually remarked
that mis- majesty must feel pleased at
seeing the town beflagged in honor of
the birth of son to the crown prince.
The kaiser became furious because the
information reached him in this ex-
tremely informal manner and because
of the minister's forgetting to bring his
dispatches.
He sent for the messages, which
numbered 400 The first one he opened
was from the sultan, congratulating
him. His majesty thereupon tele-
graphed the crown prince:
II have just learned from the sultan
that a son has been born to you"
Herr Stubel was ignored for the rest
Of the day by the kaiser and by every
career, which already had been shat
tered as director of the colonial de-
partment during the Tippelskirch scam
dals, is now considered forever blasted.
