Essays, which created a stir at the
time, she evidently feels it her duty
from time to time to explain her at
titude toward social and economic
questions from her new standpoint.
Her recent address to this society was
on English and India, and during
June and July she will give a series
of public Sunday lectures in the
Queens Hall dealing with social, re-
ligious and mystical problems.

acceptance of their offer, seeing this

Professor Henderson, who writes

Post rebutting Mr.. Shaw's charges,
feels naturally panied that his best en-

get him into hot water, in spite of the
fact that he consulted Mr.. Shaw on all
matters of fact and submitted the
manuscript for his correction and
suggestions.
The matters in dispute are not really
of importance, but both the biographer
and the biographed are sticklers for
accuracy, and the controversy will
doubtless supply some gayety for the
nations.
One funny item in the dispute is that
a photograph presented in the book
as one of Mr.. Shaw's former residences
in London is a ginger beer shop, and
lie sarcastically repudiated the fact.

In his highly interesting autobio-
graphy, recently published, Sir William
Butler-the gallant soldier, who was
in command of the British troops at
the outbreak of the South African war,
and for a time unjustly in the shade,
owing to his pessimistic view of the
military situation and his warnings TO

saved by a Newfoundland dogs self

Beer Condemned.
In the Dresden exhibition the ma.

comes under strong condemnation, and
is an indication of the growth of the
anti-alcohol movement in Germany

glasses of milk, 500 grammes of bread,

well use it as a sample"
To our great surprise, the sampler, -
absurd though it was, was well re-
ceived-so well, indeed, that we we're
encouraged to get off few more.
To make long story short, we
went from bad to worse, and it wasn't
a month before we'd established a
reputation for repartee that kept us
hustling to live up to. Then we came
to the front as raconteurs.
One of us would make some trivial
remark and the other would say, ooh,
by the way, that reminds meY--and
then out would come our latest story.
But we didn't reach the zenith of
our fame till Laura Travers came into
our set. Laura was a visiting girl,
and of course we felt in duty bound
to spread ourselves for her special
benefit.
l nearly quarreled with Jack. when
somebody quoted her as having said.
How very clever Mr.. Wilson is" Ano
Jack went around looking like thun-
der cloud the night she laughed at one
of my stories till the tears ran down
her cheeks.
We were both dead in love with her,
hut as neither of us could shine save
in the company of the other, we were
forced to hunt always in couples.
Either of us would have been glad to
shake the other, but as a matter of
fact We didn't dare, for Laura "adored
clever men" and loved a good story"
and our only chance of impressing
her was to stick together.
OF course either of us could have
spoiled the others joke, but that was
a game two could play at, so we play
ed fair, and the things we said were
the talk of our set.
Two months went by, and Laura's
visit was drawing to a close. So far
as any one could see, she had never
favored one of us above the other;
as a matter of fact, she'd never had
the chance to do so. even had she
possessed the inclination.
l don't mind confessing that, for my
part, I'd sooner have faced a loaded
cannon than that girl without Jack
to help me out, and I've reason to
believe that he felt the same.
1t was fate and an opportune thund-
erstorm that thrust me the tete-a-tete
I'd been too cowardly to seek for
myself.
There was not much doing, and I'd
left my office an hour earlier than
usual. Just as l stepped into the

I've only this to say-that if you've
never been roped in for one, then
you've missed the opportunity of your
life for making a blooming idiot of

You go in, all unsuspecting, and
they give you list of questions

worst of it, either. Jack Wilson was

big letters, if you insist upon entire
frankness.
We wore the caps with such show
of dignity as we were able to COM
mand, which was, l think, after all,
but a very poor imitation of the real
thing, and we grinned feebly at the
witless jokes the other fellows made
at our expense.
But we left as soon as, or possibly
a little sooner than, we decently
could, and went up to Jacks room,
where we consoled ourselves with
cigars and brandy-and-sodas and other
creature comforts. and vowed to get

Jack surrounded himself with a

a brown study. Now when another

than to interrupt the process with ILL

a discreet number of "high-balls," and
said nothing.
And l had my reward. For when
