When the British square at the bat
tie of Abu Klea, In the Nubian des-

one OF them attempted to spear a gum

home a charge. The Briton Drained

A CHINESE SOLOMON.

HE Decision In a Case Of a Woman
With Two Husbands.
There was a Chinese Judge named
Wang, who was as wise as Solomon.
Before Wang two men and a woman
appeared. The older man was the wo-
mans first husband. He had gone to
the wars and been reported dead. Now
he returned alive to claim his wife.
But she meanwhile had married the
younger man, who refused to give her
up; hence all three came before Wang
that he might decide this truly difficult
case.
''Yang Ki," said the Judge to the wo-
man, (which Of these two men made
the better husbandT"
Both We're perfect husbands, my
lord Judge" Yang III modestly replied.
SO the judge told the men that he
would keep the woman by him for a
week, examining her thoroughly, and
week hence he would decide the
case. Well, the week passed, and the
two husbands came once more before
the Judge. He shook his head gravely
and said to them:
THE woman, Yang Xxi, has died.
There Is no case. Let her original hus-
band take the body away from my
house and pay for the burial"
'Ho, not IT. said the original hus-
band. And. so saying, he darted from
the court and was soon lost to view
''You. then" said the judge to the
other man, "must stand these burial
expenses"

just, and l viii give this woman, who
was good and kind. the finest burial

The judge clapped his hands. Yang

courtroom IN a rich dress OF gold bro
cade.
Take her" said the wise judge. ''for
you and not the other merit her love
and service"

was asked TO invite Thackeray to at

honse OF a distinguished member.
II was, said Mr.. Fields. very reluc-

paper might be presented and felt GER

him rise quite deliberately and make
his exit very noiselessly into small
anteroom adjoining. The apartment
was dimly lighted, but he knew that

Then began series Of pantomimic
feats impossible to describe. He threw
an imaginary myself, Of course
upon the floor and proceeded to stab
him several times with paper folder,
which he caught up for the purpose.
After disposing Of his victim in this
way he was not satisfied, for the dull
lecture still went on in the other room,
so he fired an imaginary revolver sew
eral times at an imaginary head.
The whole thing was inimitably
done. hoped nobody saw 1t but my

squarely to me:
what was the matter with Mr..
Thackeray that night the club met at
