Sir James Clerk of Penicuik bet with
a friend that he would between sun

many men were unemployed. He had
no difficulty IN collecting several hun

plentiful breakfast of porter. whisky
and bread and cheese. after which.
just as the sun rose. he ordered them
to set to work. some to tear down in
closures, others to unroof and demolish
cottages and a considerable portion to
bring earth to fill up a great hollow to

dismayed at so vast force and so
summary a mode of procedure, made
no resistance. So active were the

StonewaII Jackson's Death.

Nothing in the war perhaps. except

announcement of .Stonewall' Jack

arm and finally of his death, following
the battle of Charlottesville Even
the brilliant victory of our arms was
placed In total eclipse by this irrepara-
BILE loss. From the first. when the
shy Puritan professor of the Virginia
Military institute had startled the ar

of the popular mind as a supreme ia

Tho Property Man Knew.

An English actor tells a good story
of the old days of the touring fitup
companies. They were at Oldham
playing melodrama called Current
Cash" One of the properties essential
to the piece was light rowing scull,
with which the hero had to push him.
self off into the stream. When the
company reached Oldham the oar was
missing, but the property man prom
ised to have one ready for the even
ing's performance. says the Pail Mall
Gazette. That afternoon. with evident
pride. he produced from the sacred re-
cesses Of his room real human skull
and when it was pointed out to him
that it was hardly what was required
he declared In naughty tones:
IF that skulls good enough for
Hamlet it ought to be good enough
for piece like Current Cash."

The Blow on the Jaw.

A man struck with any degree of
force upon the mental area of the jaw,
although he may be In perfect physical
condition. instantly collapses and falls
20 the ground. says medical journal
The attitude assumed in recovery,
which may be instantaneous or delay
ed some minutes, is most characters
tic. He squirms about, raises his head
and rolls his eyes in an attempt to To-
cate himself. He tries to get on his
side and elbow: he endeavors TO rise
upon his hands and knees. If he re-
gains his feet he staggers like drunk
en- man. and should he proceed to re-
open hostilities he Is usually prompt
" put OUT by his adversary. The
blow is practically never fatal; the
hearts action is never unduly acceler-
ated; the pulse and respiration are nor
nal; the pupils are normal; there is no
headache. no sweats. no cold extremi-
ties, no pallor-none Of the ordinary
signs Of shock or conclusion.

On one occasion an English gentle
man called to see Lord Westmoreland
on particular business. He was at
breakfast and. receiving him with his
usual urbanity, asked the object of his
visit. The gentleman said that he felt
somewhat aggrieved. as he had brought
an official letter of Introduction to him
from the foreign office and, having
learned that his lordship had given a
great dinner the night before. was sur
prised and hurt at receiving no invita-
ton. Lord Westmoreland exclaimed
with his usual heartiness: God bless
me. sir, l am really quite distressed
| think l received the letter Of which
you speak. I will send for it," Ac
cordingly the letter was brought to
him. and on reading it he said to the
stranger: ''Ah, thought so! There.
sir. is the letter. but there is no men
ton of dinner in it." On which the
gentleman rose and backed out of the
room in confusion.

A physician in a small town wanted
to be mayor Politicians told him he
had no chance-the machine was
against him. A few days before the
election he printed the following card

LiheIinu Old ENGLAND.

According to General Pillet of
France, the author of "I.'anslct.arre
yue Londres ct dams SEES Provinces"
published in 1878. wife murderers a
hundred years ago generally went
SCOT free in England In this engag-
ing work the author says that 1.-THE
murder of a married woman by her
husband is hardly recognized us a
crime. If by some rare chance the
guilty husband is brought to justice
he is bound to be acquitted. This ac
counts for the heavy death rate among
women in England. Most English
men Of fifty have been married at
least three times" Pillet had been
prisoner of war In England and pub
lished this work in revenge. 1t was
so full of libelous statements that its
circulation was forbidden by the
French government. and the few
copies available brought very high
prices.
Apparently the English did not con-
slider the work very dangerous, as a
copy was secured for the British mu-
scum.

PoLPS THEATER.
"The White Sister. "

The unanimous opinion of all who have seen The White Sister at Polls Iheater, this week, is that q better play than this one has never been seen in this city" From the very first act the play abounds with situations and climexes that shows the authors pen off to good advantage
 The staging of the production, the scenic equipment and the other details that have been carefully looked after by J. Francis kirlze, the stage direc- tor Of the popular stock company, had g tendency of creating any amount of favorable comment regarding the pres entatton of the production. In eonjunc- ton with the regular play, the illus trated songs between the acts and the excellent moving pictures are proving a popular asset in drawing patrons to that theater.
 Next week the company will be seen in sfyVo oman Against Woman" a drama of the old school and one which every man, woman and child should see, as it teaches a moral of the proper sort.
 Admission prices will be reduced by Manager Mat Saunders beginning next week Monday. Ten cents will be charg- ed at all afternoon performances to all parts of the house, including the boxes. and in the evening 10, 20 and 30 cegts- Manager Saunders believes that 0 feturn to popular prices will strike the thsater-g going public favora bIy. and will result In a material increase in the size of the audience throughout the week.
 Last season the prices were 10 and 20 cents in the afternoon and 10, 20 and 30 cents in the evening. With the opening of the season this year the prices were advanced to 10, 15 and 25 in tlse afternoon and p. 35 and 50 in the evening"
 MT. Saunders inaugurates an en- tirely new admission price when he fixes 1t at 10 cents for every part of the house at matinee performances
