whose daughter they had come to pay
court, says the London Express. They
were refused admission to the house
and when they tried to force their
way in the father took down his gun
and fired Two of them were slight
ly wounded and the other two serious
ly. The father was arrested.
The encounter and its almost tragic
ending were due to ancient custom
which prevails in the villages of the
canton of Valais and in the Alpine
hamlets of the German cantons. AfteI

her parents are not surprised to re

after the days work to ask to see
their daughter and pass a pleasant
evening in the family circle. The
visit is looked on as a compliment
and as the young men bring with
them wines and food they are gen.
orally welcomed by the parents. The
custom, which is known as Veillee
results in introductions and often In
marriages.

SHARP REPARTEE OF GILBERT
Famous Librettist Always Would Gel
the Better of the Actors at
Rehcarsals.

Gilbert's facile repartees came In
useful at rehearsals. One afternoon
a well-known actor had been made to
repeat one scene over and over again
When he was told for the forty-sev.
enth time that 1t was all wrong he
stepped down to the footlights and
said: Mr.. Gilbert, must tell you that
I'm not very good tempered man.
No" said Gilbert, neither am L."
Furthermore" the actor went on,
I'D like to have you know, Mr.. Gil
bert, that I'm very strong man"
Well said Gilbert, I'm six feet four
in my socks, but if you really want
to know the difference between us-I
am an extremely clever man"
There was another actor who OBJ
jected to being continually corrected
and snapped out: Look here, Mr.. Gil
bert; l know my lines" Il know you
do" answered Gilbert, but the
trouble is, dear boy, that you don't
know mine"

Here is way to taxa impressions

The first method is to take half a
sheet of fine woven paper and cover
Its surface with sweet oil; let it stand
a moment or two, rub off the super
huous oil and hang it in the air. When
IT Is fairly dry, move It slowly over
the flame OF a candle, lamp or gas
burner (caution) until 1t is quite
black, lay the plant or leaf on it,
place a clean piece of paper on top
and rub equally with the fingers for

plant and place 1t on the paper on

By the second method, burn a com.
