Modern Fairy Story.

The butcher, the baker and the
candIestick maker decided that life in
the children's classics, although very
quiet, did not obtain the goods.
So the butcher gladly consented to
pay IL cents pound for pigs, and he
consequently affected the high cost Of
living, which gave him far more no
toriety and, incidentally, an easy liv-
ing.
Properly enthused by this example,
the baker became large stakeholder

tighten the public concerning their

LEARNING FROM EACH OTHER
English Lecturer Sees Much Benefit
In Travel for Persons in
Business.

''If America could only send 100000
young men to Europe every year so
that they might absorb some OF the
British poise and courtesy, and we
could send some 100000 young men
across the Atlantic where they could
imbibe the vitality and enthusiasm of
America, we should have an Anglo
Saxon organization and combination
that could not be beaten"
Thus Mr.. H. Gordon Selfridge in an
illuminating address to a large au-
dience, mainly composed of his own
employees, who filed the large hall Of
the Regent Street Polytechnic.
They were assembled to hear a leo
ture by Mr.. Bent on American De-
partment Stores" and Mr.. Selfridge,
who presided, seized the opportunity
to point the moral of the value of
travel to business men and women.
All nations, he said, had something
to learn from one another. America
had much to learn from this country.
and that was recognized by the mer-
chants of the great cities. Thousands
of people interested in dry goods
come to Europe every year to study
our methods and those of the CONT
nent, and 1t was probably this ever
lasting travel that made our friends
on the other side excel in their own
departments.
And we in England had much to
learn. There was nothing more val
liable to those engaged in business
than travel-even little excursions to
Paris and the other capitals of Eu-
rope-because they were able to see
how other people did things.
And they did not want to learn
from other peoples mistakes but from
other peoples excellences. In their
business the important matter was to
know how to improve methods by the
teaching Of experience wherever it
was to be found
In England we excelled in court
esq of service and patient endeavors
to please which were not to be found
in the large stores Of America. The
politeness that permeated all England
was one of the things that struck an
American traveller directly he landed.
But in America they found a tre-
mendous vitality and daring in sur
mounting all obstacles. They had
the enthusiasm of young people All
Americans were optimists. They be-
lieved in looking on the bright side
Of things, and in the darkest crisis
the optimism of the country was over
towering.
It was from this spirit of enthus-
iasm and determination in business
that England had most to learn.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

London.-After having reached the

This startling news has just been
received here. The story, which will
come as distinct shock to the civil.

Monday morning, but was not made
public for several hours.
News of the tragedy comes from
the Terra Nova, which arrived at

Of Lieutenant Evans.
The four men who persisted with

The news of Scott's death only
