ANYTHING TO PLEASE A LADY
Manifold Troubles Of a Militia Colonel
Who Aimed to Please All
He Knew.

Lady Hester Lucy Stanhope,
when staying at Walmer castle in
1904, quite unwittingly accom-
plished the feat Of changing the uni
form Of a regiment of the county
militia. The anecdote, which illus
trates a curious streak of vanity in
old-time army officers, appears in an
account of Lady Stanhope's life by
Mr.. Frank Hamel.
Somebody asked me before a great
many officers what / thought of
them," said Lady Stanhope, "and l
said that they looked like so many
timed harlequins. One day, soon
after, l was riding through Walmer
village, when who should pop out
upon me but the colonel, dressed in
entirely new regimentals with diff
Ierent taclngs, more ike those OF a
regiment of the line.
Pray pardon me, Lady Hester
he began So l stopped, and he
addressed me. Pray pardon me-
said the colonel, but.I wish to know
if you approve of our new uniform
Of course l made him turn about
and I inspected him round and
round-pointed with my whip as I
sat on horseback, first here and there
told him the waist was too short
and wanted half a button more-the
was too high, and so on. And
in a short time the whole regiment
turned out with new clothes."-

PAYING TOO MUCH FOR SPACE
Proposition Made by London Times
Does Not Seem Alluring When.
Thoroughly Analysed.

Cne never knows in what eccen-
tricity the new enterprise of the
Times is going to break out nova
days. Here is its latest bid for adj
vertisements: "The capital outlay
charged TO insure the appearance of
an In Memoram' announcement in
the Times annually in perpetuity is
Els for four lines, and pro rata"
No doubt, while their grief is fresh
upon them, many bereaved persons
of mems will avail themselves of
this offer. One of the labor papers,
however, has had the impertinence
to work out a sum in arithmetic to
find out what this means. The in
terest on els at five per cent per
annum is Is shillings. The adver-
tiser, therefore, in addition to max
ing the Times a capitalist to the
extent of f15, is paying it Is shil-
lings for a four-line TN Memoriam'
notice. But the ordinary everyday
charge for a single In Memoriam'
notice in the Times is seven shillings
and sixpence-just half hat sum
for anything up to six lines.-Lon-
don letter to New York Post.

HAD MORE THAN THEIR SHARE
Glass Of %EngIlshmen Who RlValed In
the Number Of Their WiVes
"5lusbeards" Of History.

1t was formerly no uncommon
thing, when journeying through the
Essex marshes, to meet with fathers
of families to whom the epithet
"Bluebeard" might. without any i'm
propriety, be applied, remarks Lon
don Tit-Bits. To have married half
a dozen wives was no unusual expe-
rience with these men, many of
whom, indeed, had gone through the
marriage ceremony with thrice that
number. Even that total had on oc-
casion been exceeded, as in the case
of a native Of Candy island, who had
espoused twenty-five different wom-
en-, while his son, who was but
thirty-fve, had already been welded
fourteen times.
Yet for the most part these excess
sively connubial men were very re-
spectacle fellows, whose sole mistake
was in choosing wives from the
neighboring uplands instead Of WOO
ing those who had become acclima-
tiled from having been born and
bred among the marshes. Conse-
quently the newly welded brides,
who had been accustomed to fresh
and bracing air, on taking up their
abode among the fogs and mists Of
the unhealthy flats, soon succumbed
to ague or fever, which generally car
ried them off within the year, leav-
ing their husbands to console them
selves with fresh partners, who in
their turn rapidly gave place to sue
Cessors.
