time the chief of police of Waterloo
telephoned to Ossian's marshal to

Austin was placed under arrest, but
was permitted to pull off the match
under police surveillance. He was

"Quiet Folk--would promptly

Theater patrons WHO look for conventional
rubrics aud hall marks before a. cepting an
engagement without question are being de-
prived of the most genuine pleasure by per.
hitting themselves TO remain unacqualnted
with Al H. Wilson, who is the most grifted of
our singing comedians, aud the exacting
TheatergoerS agree that they have "discov-
cred" the most winning dialect singer since
Fritz" Emmett sang his way into the hearts
of thousands, to leave desolate places when
he had gone. Mr.. Wilson came to st. Louis
yesterday in his new play, Metz In the Alps.
Ii was so fine and tender an offering that one
would like 10 get out a requisltlon against Mr..
Ellis, his manager; ana conpei nm snow

Metz i'm the Alps is by far the best vehicle MIR.

humor and pathos and sentiment that IL
touches the heart very closely. But above
all, IL gives Nj. Wilson ample opportunity
TO Sing-and unaffected muSlc-OVers VIII

Quiet folks, with no other ambition than that
of being able TO entertain their friends IN
homely, sentimental wise, would promptly
accept Mr.. Wilson's vocal equipment and lei
that of Caruso go, if the choice were offered
TO them. There is LONELINESS ana tenderness
and a appeal TO ones affections and tears in
his music-such music as is vouchsafed TO q
few favored souls who know that the music
schools are at besttrying only TO manufacture
that which nature once in a while permits q
few mortals To possess instinctively. BY al
means hear MIR. Wilson sing, il you care foi

The wrecI.err Of sciIIr.


 As far back as the time of Henry I. there were royal grants of "the islands and their wrecks," and frequent was the phrase in centuries following With royal encouragement, why should they not be wreckers2 One Sunday, long ago, in Scilly, service was in progress when there came the cry of "Wrockw The men started from their seats. Tn moment there would have been a stampede, but they covered back as the minister sternly thundered a warn Ing. He strode to the door. Again his voice arose. Let's all start fairw hC shouted, throwing off impeding cassock as he ran, while his congregation la. bored at his heels. Most curious of all wrecks was that of a bark, with a car go of beads, that went ashore 200 years ago. So generous has been the ocean with this treasure that throughout these two centuries it has intermittent. ly been tossing beads ashore, yet so frugally that the supply is not yet ex' hausted, for in a few minutes seaWh found that some had been thrown there since the last search of the is- landers.-Robert Shackleton in liar per's.

In 1900 all London was talking of q man named Bankoz servant to the Earl of Essex, who had taught his horse to count and perform a number of feats, including mounting to the top of St. Pauls cathedral, while &a number of asses" as the historian puts it, ''brayed below" Sir Walter Raleigh in his history says of Bankes that he "wCuld have shamed all the enchanters of the world, for whatso- .ever was most famous among them could never master or instruct any beast as he did his horse." When Bankes took his horse to Rome both were burned for witchcraft

History on a Watch Face.

Almost the last work of the Belgian astronomer Houzeau was an article in which, while arguing in favor of dec imal division of time, he pointed out the origin of the double set of twelve hours represented on our watch and clock faces. The ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia chose the number F as an arithmetical base because it has four divisors-viz, 2, 3. 4 and 6, while 10 has only two divisors-viz, 2 and 5. They counted twelve hours in the day and twelve in the night. measuring the day by the progress of the sun and tho night by the progress of the star across the sky. This system, prevail, ing over all others, has come down t. T3, and so our watches bear on their faces a souvenir of those ancient days when the sun served for clock hand tllf of the time and the stars the othe half.
