DANGERS OF COASTING
First Snow Storm Brought Out Youngsters and Sleds.

A beautiful carpet of snow covered
 Waterbury this morning and as soon as the youngsters learned the glad
 tidings they hustled out of their beds and ushered in the season of coasting
 with an abandon which told very
 plainly that they were in no way dis
 turbed by the alleged stringency in
 the money market. Talk about be-
 ing wealthy, influential and all that
 sort of thing, but the whole of them
 put together cannot impart to one
 of mature years the joy that seizes
 hold of boy or girl laundering down hill on ripper. It is great sport,
 but those who indulge in it on some of the public highways do so at great risk to life and limb. An effort should be made to discourage coast
 ing as far as possible on streets open ing onto where there are trolley
 tracks. All the streets east of Bald
 win street from Union square to the
 end of the line are veritable death
 traps for coasters and parents and others interested in the welfare of the little ones should endeavor to head them in some other direction. The trolley men are expected to see every thing, but they cannot catch onto a coaster who shoots down from side street in front of their cars on time to prevent accident. No coasting is
 permitted on the side streets men,.
 tioned and the police should see that they are not used for that purpose It
 also behooves people with the care of children to keep an eye after them, for it is out of the question for the police to guard every point of danger.

DIPLOMATIC AFFAIR
INCIDENT IN LIFE OF BRITISH
 SECRET SERVICE.
Omefal of Foreign Onice, French Ac- tfess and American Sweetheart Mixed Up in Serial story to
 Begin Sunday.

A lovely California girl, Miss Diana
 ForreSt, who was the belle of last yeaIninLOT yearii London season, has just played strange international episode. The story is going the rounds of English society like wildfre. But, owing to the nigh rank of the parties involved, it has hitherto been kept carefully out of the newspapers. Hence the following is the first printed report of the
 Miss Forrest. it appears. had several proposals during the rast year from Englishmen of title, but rejected all of them except that of the Hon. Ivor Dun- das, a young and handsome diplomat. While openly encouraging MT. Dundas' suit, Miss Forrest hesitated to engage herself to him, owing to certain per fair q os his mVr with the celebrated % dpye young m Renzie.
 and most exciting turn. Mile. Maxine, It is now learned, eked out her salary as actress by doing clever secret ser vice work for the British Fortegn Of- fee. In pursuit of this vocation, she .borrowed'' a highly important secret State document (relative to the France Japanese aliiance), from the French to be copied, on the express condition that 1t should be returned safely to her at q certain date.
 - 4NOA PuhudS was COlnlIlSSlOnGu Dy the Foreign offlce to carry back to her the papers. But the French police, getting wind of the matter, we're or dered to spread a man-net through out Paris and capture the messenger and the document. Thus, the mission was most delicate and called for every atom of Dundas' tact and diplomatic acumen. He set out for Paris carrying the papers in a flat letter case In an inner pocket. Arriving at the rem dezvous agreed on, he met Maxine. Z At the instant of the transferral of the packet from one to the other, most amazing incident occurred. In their widest fears as to the possible outcome of the mission, neither had imagtned-nor could human nature have contured up--so utterly surpris- ing climax as suddenly befel. It's nature will soon be made known.

Williamson have dously powerful and compelling scenes of their newest, greatest novel, ''The Powers and Maxine" first of the splen- did new series of International novels issued by the Authors and Newspapers Association. By special arrangement The Advertiser has secured the exclu- sive right to publish The Powers and Maxine as a serial before the novel is published in book form.

SHORT TALKS BY
 BOOTHE

There are doctors and doctors, some good-some bad; the same is true of preachers, lawyers and merchants. A doctor from Mem phis, Tennessee, writes to me that he is willing to bet $100 and put up the money that Bromonia won't cure two bad cases of rheu- matism that he is treating. If l could do so legally, I would be willing to bet him on the follow ing proposition: Take twenty rheumatic sufferers, for every one we can't cure I will give him $10O if he will give me $50 for each one that we can, and nothing but Bro monia and the directions that ac- compan, it to be used. As it is, we will, and do, in a way, wager with everyone suffering from rheumatism that we can cure them; if we don't we will refund the money that they have spent for Bromonia. Ask the Bromonia Agent in your town if it is so, or not.
 This is a little different from my usual short talks, inasmuch as it is longer.
