The landlady Wrote Correctly and
Was Not to Blame.

A London gentleman advertised for
apartments at Il fashionable waterin;

pitched upon one chiefly because II

as il vas not convenient for him to
leave his business to see the apart

When the time came for him to take
his holiday he duly arrived at his
destination and was surprised to find
that not glimpse of the sea was oh
tainable from any window OF his
apartments.
Il thought you said there was a
splendid sea view?" he said angriiy
to the landlady.

lady, 'dra wiug his attention to picture
on the wall, a really excellent painting
of the sea.
"Why, you-er-er- What do you
mean by such a swindlei' gasped the
gentleman. Il meant view of the
real sea"
ooh, did you, SIR" coolly said the
landlady. IF you will refer to my
letter you Will see that | distinctly
stated there was a splendid sea view

A Use For a Prince Consort,

Prince Henry, consort of Queen VIII
helmins Of the Netherlands, distin-
guished himself the other day in tho
eyes Of his royal helpmeets subjects
by recovering her favorite dachshund.
which she had lost while walking in a
pine forest near one of her residences.
The story Of this heroic feat is thus
told by an admiring correspondent:
The queen was exceedingly sorry. for
she WAS much attached to this particu-
lar dog. Prince Henry therefore de-
termined to 60 out himself to look for
the missing fnyorite. He went at once
to the forester's house In the woods
and sat up all night until the first
streak of dawn, when he began search
ing the forest. To his great delight he
was rewarded by finding Paulinchen."

Editor Advertiser: Probably there is
no periodical more unbiased eeclesi-
astleally and more widely influential
than The Outlook of New York eity.
Its treatment of the Catholic church
has been so uniformly just, kind and
liberal that it Is looked upon with most
friendly regard by such eminent prel-
ates as Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop
Ireland, Bishop Spaulding and others.
What The Outlook has to say upon
the conditions in the Congo Free State
can therefore he interpreted by no
fair-minded American as influenced in
the least by considerations of religious
seetarianisln. In fact I can recall no
utteranee of The Outlook on this sub
Jeet which reflects in any way upon
Catholic or Protestant as such. What
these conditions are can no longer be
considered doubtful They are set
forth suceinctly in the subjoined arti-
Gle entitled Self Condemned, - which

be disciples of Jesus lay these condi-
tions at the door of any church as
