 Mistakes Lodgers for
 Auto Bandits"
By PAUL yILLIERS

Paris, November 2-(Special.)-To be a sccietare of the Francaise has it's ad- vantages, but the Maison de Moliere has way of insisting upon it's rights, ire spective of the societaires desires. Madame Pierat, for instance, agreed to go on tour in the south for M. Charles Baret in Pierre Wolff's play of the "Marionettes" on certain conditions. But just about that time M. Bernstein had his quarrel with the Francaise over "Apres-Moi," as the result of which he withdrew the piece from the theatre all together.
 One of the consequences of this was that Madame Pierat's services were re- quired at the Francalse for the piece which was substituted. She besought NJ Claretie to give her a few weeks leave. but M. Claretie was unbendins. At any other time he would have been delighted, but at the moment it was im- possible, so Madame Perat broke her contract with M Baret. In consequence NJ. Berat has brought Madame Piedat into the law courts and is claiming $5oOO damages. How" asked Madame Pierat, "could I go when the rules and regulations of the Francaise forbid that an artist should absent himself or herself without special permission, un- der pains and penalties?" It is nice point just exactly where and to what extent the rules of the Francaise come iil, and the case for the moment stands adjourned.

A few days ago she gave notice to three of her lodgers. young men whose aversion tp collars and neckties had aroused her ever-alert sus- picions The youths left meelSly and in order but Madame Larrey feared ven- geance. Their very meekness made her an.:ious. As soon as they were gone she went to inspect the rooms they had left In one of them she noticed that a plank in the fioo- had recently been dis placed. She lifted it and peered beneath With cry she leaped back. Her intu- ition had not betrayed her. There lay an internal machine with it's train of ,,s,"c,. powder aud sinister and sinuons fuse
 Madame Larrey had not read her evening papers for nothing. She fled from the room crying: Save yourselves, the house is going to blow up!" The ten ants poured trembling into the street. which was soon in an uproar. Then up came couple, of bold constables. who entered the house. and. with infinite pre- cautions, raised the plank.

One on the Officials

There was an amusing little scene at the Care du Nord lately. Parisian who was coming back from a shoot in the country, and carried a game bag, was stopped by an officer of the 'Octroi, who put the inevitable question:: Have you anything to declare?" Our sports was not in the best of temper, as his ample gamebag contained but single victim-a skinny partridge. This declared, the officer was skeptical. What! Only one?" he inquired. Look and see for yourself" said the harrassed sports man. The officer did so and was satis- fed.
 win you kindly make your declara- ton at the office and pay the duty?" Partridge in hand the traveller followed him. "Two-pence, please" pronounced the bedraggled bird. Wait a moment, ' objected the sportsman, who was well up in His legal rights and saw an excel lent opportunity of getting a little of his own back.
 will you kindly weigh my bird?" One pound four ounces came voice from the wicket. "All right; I have the right to one pound one ounce free Of duty. Give me back my bird for a mo- ment''
 This was done, and the traveller tram cuilly plucked the partridge before the eyes of the astonished officials and a little crowd of curious persons who were beginning to enter into the spirit of the joke. Once more the wretched bird was Lassed over and weighed "One pound one ounce," came the reply. Hand it l over again, them said the sportsman. and this time he produced a par of pocket scissors and deliberately and slkillf,ly "cleaned the bird. This pro-
 
 weigh rather under pound and could | pass free of duty. It's owner had saved his two pence and certainly had his little | joke.

BISHOP AND BABIES
Why Dr. Browne Threatened to Resign
 His See
From the London Express.

From the London Express.
 The Bishop of Bristol, who. as reported has threatened to resign his see because of the coughing of the congregation and the crying of babies during confirmation services, explained his position to an Ex- press representative:
 q have no objection to the presence of babies at ordinary services,N he said,
 but I have given strict instructions to the clergy that infants in arms are not to be admitted to confirmation services. t is the neglect of some incumbents to observe this that has distressed me. If baby cries at such service tho | head of every girl is immediately turned round, and their attention is diverted.
 Thus the solemnity of the sacramental service is disturbed, and that Is the great est unhappiness of my life.
 1 .'It seems to Joe supposed by some that | a bishop is a mere machine for saying | certain words with his hand on the head l of boy or girl. and that he can go on despite all diswactions

Queen Maud of Norway intends coming, among others, to celebrat5 it, but 1t is doubtful as yet whether she will be accompanied by her husband, King Haakon. who is extremely busy with affairs of state.
 Owing to the intimacy which existed between the late King and Lord Esher, 1t has been decided by Queen Alexandra to entrust him with the writing of the official biography of the late sovereign. He is already in possession of. impor- tant documents relating >to the more Intimate side of King Edwards life, and the queen mother is herself taking the keenest possible interest in the work, and will probably revise the whole of the proofs.

Sacrifices Self for Dog

lady, accompanied by fine collie was crossing the Champs Elysees when, between two refuges, the dog bewildered by the noise and traffic, settled down on his launches and refused to move. At that moment a powerful motor car bore down at some % miles an hour. The lady turned back, seized her dog by the collar, and tried to drag him into safety. Struck by the wheel of the car, which
 the driver could not check in time, she was picked up unconscious and taken to the hospital. There she was found to be suffering from severe concussion, and her condition was judged to be dan gerous. The collie escaped unhurt.
