A Lost Bank Note.

A friend of mine, writes Scottish
correspondent, recently saw a piece Of
paper lying on the street. He picked
1t up. It was one pound note. Some
men might have pocketed it, with a
smile of satisfaction My friend, how
ever, honestly handed it over to the
police. A short time afterward he dis
covered that he himself had lost a
pound. He thought over the matter
and remembered that before finding
the note he had been standing OH the
edge Of the pavement for some time.
1t slowly dawned upon him that the
pound he had found was his own and
that he had drawn it from his pocket
unconsciously. He went hack prompt
~ to the police station and explained
the circumstance. The officer in charge
only shook his head and smiled in
credulously. "Very clever" he said,
"but-eh-it will scarcely do" If my
friend cared to call back at the end of
six months, he was Informed, he would
get the pound if in the interval it had
not been claimed. During this time
Of waiting he is inclined to mediate
as to whether honesty is always the
best policy.-London P. T. o.

MAY LEAD TO TROUBLE
Break In European Concert on.
Macedonian Question.
GERMANY OVER THE TRACES
Action Comes as Shock to the Off
Gals of England and the Continent,
Particularly as Quiet Diplomatic
Season Had Been Anticipated.

London, Feb. 15.-What is prac-
| t1cally the breakup of the European
concert on the Macedonian question
has come as a shock to the chancel-
tories of the Continent and England,
particularly as g quiet diplomatic sea-
son had been anticipated. The assent
| OF Germany to the management of
Moroccan affairs by France, the con-
| clusion Of agreements to maintain the
| status QUO in the Mediterranean and
| the opening of negotiations looking to
treaties that should accomplish SIM
| liar purpose with regard to the North
sea seemed to make the possibility of
differences arising among the powers
remote. The conferences of the am
bassadors at Constantinopls also ap-
peared to be going on smoothly when
q bomb was thrown into camp by the
announcement made by Baron Mar
schall Won Bieberstein, the German
ambassador, that Germany would no
longer act with the other powers in
insisting that Turkey consent to their
demands.
AS to the cloud that has arisen be-
tween Russia and Austria Hungary
over the projects for railroad extern
stons in Macedonia by the latter state,
the right of Austria-Hungary to secure
a concession for the Novipazar rail-
road line and the justice of Germany
supporting her ally are recognized in
England, but it is contended that the
present time is in opportune for the
raising of this point.
| 1t Is now said that the official break
ing up of all these international I'M
derstandings will aggravate the Mace
DOMAIN question, reopen the whole
Near East problem, start a contest for
railroad concessions which may lead
to serious results and enable Turkey
to postpone the reforms for which the
ambassadors have been working.

The Frank Critic.

"When Sir John Millais was engaged
in painting his Chill October among
the rushes on the banks Of the Tay,
near PERTH" said an English artist, "a
railway porter from the station at Kin
fauns used to carry the canvas back
and forth for him.
"The porter was quaint chap. His
services were called for many days in
requisition. He became quite friendly
with Sir John and seemed to take a
hearty interest in the progress of the
painting.
'Well, Chill October was eventually
finished and sold little while after
ward for thousand pounds. This fact
somehow reached the porter's ears. He
met Sir Johns brother-in-law at Kin
fauns one day and said excitedly:
"'Mon, is't true that Sir Johns sold
t'picture and got a thoosand poond

BOMB FAILED TO EXPLODE
Had Been Placed Under Stage Where
King Carlos Landed. -

Lisbon, Feb. 15.-It has been learned
that bomb was found under the land
on the day of the assassination. It
had failed to explode because of de-
feet in the fuse.
A number of persons have called at
the late home of Buica, one of the
dead assassins, to give money to his
mother-in-law for the support of his
children. The proprietor of a depart
ment store has opened a subscription
for them with $1,000.
A curious fact has come to light.
Shortly before the crime Buica had
competed with the king in a shooting
match, beating his royal opponent by
several points.

In Case Of Accident.

Don't buster. Be tactful If there
are dangerous germs present, ask them
to withdraw. If they demur, ask them
where they were brought up with gen.
tie irony.
Be careful to render first aid to the
injured. A great deal of unnecessary
suffering has been caused by persons
hastily rendering third or even fourth
aid where first aid was indicated.
In case of drowning select a best
method Of resuscitation. There are
1859 best methods in all. Have them
about you in the form Of loose news
paper clippings and run them over
briefly before acting.
Keep cool. Stop every little while
and take your temperature.
If the coroner arrives while you are
at work, Immediately desist. It Is dis
courteous to save life in his presence.
Take accurate notes of the street and
number. Reviving patients almost al
ways ask where they are.
If possible, induce death to super
vene rather than to take place merely
or even to ensue. 1t gives the family
a sense of dignity.-Puck.

Macedonia.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 15.-It is ex-
pected here that Russia and Great
Britain will enter upon an agreement
for joint action with regard to the
situation in Macedonia and that these
two powers will be supported by
France and perhaps by Italy. If such
a coalition is made the reason for it
undoubtedly will be the latest develop
ments at Constantinople-the fact that
Germany intends to abandon the allies
and adopt the counter proposals of the
sultan, which are, in the Russian point
of view, tantamount to no reform at
all, and which are regarded as Great

Police Kill and Injure Quarrelsome

Bombay, Feb. 15.-Serious rioting
occurred here during the course of the
celebrations of the Muhurram, the first
month of the Mohammedan year, aris-
ing from disputes between the Sun
mites, or orthodox section, and the
Shiahs, the second great division of
Mohammedans
The police arrested several Sunnites
and the mob demanded their release,
which demand was refused. The mob
thereupon stoned the police, injuring
two of them. The police commission
er and other European officers fired
upon the rioters, killing at least five
of them and injuring forty, twenty of
whom were seriously wounded.
It is believed that others were killed
and their bodies removed by relatives.
Eventually the troops were called out
and are camping in the streets.

ings." Never before had we known
that there was any trouble about
this. Our perusal of the gush and
mush departments of the magazines
has led us to believe that the main
difficulty after marriage is to keep
the brute at home except during
working hours. We have read
millions of articles, or at the least
thousands, suggesting that lonely
wives fix up dens and libraries and
invite in his friends and give them
cigars and cards and thus keep
hubby at home. Probably this
scheme succeeded, and the women
now repent them of their achieve
ment and want him to 60 out oil
nights. A few of them complain
that when the brute comes home
from work he doesn't want to GO
somewhere and play bridge or dance.
Laura Jean Libby can get points
from some of them. But why all
this ruction? If woman wants her
husband to 60 out evenings all she
needs to do is to tell him to stay at
home.
