Thackerny'. Pnntomime.

William Makepeace Thackeray was
always too genial, too generous, too
open handed, to be an accumulation OF
this worlds goods, and in spite of the
large earnings of his pen he died a
poor man. Shortly before his death his
friend, John Leech, the cartoonist, call
ed upon him and found him in his
study writing-writing and signing at
the monotony of his work
"Why don't you have a holiday"
said Leeeh, "and take your girls to the
seaside?"
The great novelist made no verbal
answer, but rising slowly, plunged his
hands to the very bottom of his peck
cts, brought these receptacles out,
shook them vigorously without eliciting
a rattle Of coin, replaced them and then
resumed his seat.

At Quimper, in Brittany, the wife OF
man named LIE Saux gave birth to q
boy. The father took the child and
sold 1t for f8 to the wife of the local
butcher, Nine, Bonan. The woman pre-
sented it to her husband as her own
newly-born infant and Bonan FASTENED
to register the child's birth.
LIE Saux, fearing that he might get
Into trouble with the police, next con-
suited the butcher, whom he supposed
to be party to the fraud. The duped
husband threw lie Saux out of the
house. The latter then registered the
birth Of his own child. In the eye Of
the law, therefore, the infant has
claims on two separate families and en-
joys the unique distinction of being
the son of two mothers.-Paris News

at lunch one day.
"'What makes him look so glum

an Egyptian palmist last night, and
the fellow told him his wife would
marry twice, and the second husband
would be a remarkably fine chap"

"Not at all. He thinks his wife
was married before, and never told
him. Washington Star.

His Day of Ret.

A dear sweet Sabbath, Lord, with Thee
The fretting care, the firing toll,
We lay aside and hide away
Among the folds of yesterday.
The future, full of untried plans,
We leave in Thy safe guiding hands.
Our happiness, our hopes and fears,
Our sorrows and our unshed tears,
Are all with Thee-and so we rest
Content and blest.

To PRoTECT JAPANESE
SAM FRANCISCO MOB OUTRAGE
- TO BE INVESTIGATED.
Department Of Justice interested.
Secretary Of State Calls on Gov.
:, Gillett for Justice.

Information that Japanese have been
subjected to illtreatment and indignitY in
San Francisco came to the State Depart
ment yesterday from-two sources, and Sec
rotary Roof has taken measures for their
protection through two channels.
Ambassador Wright. at Toxic. cabled the
Information obtained through japanese
channels that a Japanese restaurant and a
Japanese bath house in San Francisco had
been demolished by a mob, and viscount
Aoki, the Japanese ambassador here. laid
before Secretary Root dispatches from the
Japanese consul general at San Francisco
detailing the same occurrences.
Secretary Root at once made request on
Attorney General Bonaparte of the Depart
ment of Justice that the United States dis
trict attorney in San Francisco be directed
to make an immediate investigation of the
complaints. Mr.. Bonaparte thereupon
telegraphed both the United States district
attorney and the United States marshal at
San Francisco to make prompt and a
thorough investigation, and to forward re-
ports by telegraph to the Department of
Justice.
Beside setting to work the machinery Of
the federal government Secretary Root
telegraphed the information to Gov Gillett
of California. In this telegram he called
upon the state of California to perform the
duty imposed upon her by the terms of the
treaty between the United States and
Japan, which stipulates that Japanese shall
have the right to reside in the United
States and shall have full protection to
their persons. property and business. No
reply has been received from Gov. Gillett
The double move toward affording pro-
lection to Japanese was taken by Secretary
Root-because of what Is regarded as doubt
full authority vested in officers of the fed
eral government to prosecute violations of
the criminal law. The Secretary does not
go far as to say that the federal govern
ment is without authority In this respect,
in the absence of procedure by state.
but he is frank to admit that federal juris-
diction may be somewhat weak.
AS to the merits of the case, Secretary
Root is inclined to sascribe the occurrences
both reports of which have come through
Japanese sources to the disturbed condi-
tons existing in San Francisco as the re-
suit of the labor conditions
