Lost Feet and Watch,

While surgeons of the Methodist
hospital, in this city, were amputat
ing the feet of John Guest, who was
run over by train at Bangor, Pa
his gold watch was stolen from his
pocket. When he recovered conscious
ness from the anesthetic he missed
the timepiece, and the loss caused a
hurried search, but nothing could be
found to explain the loss.
Suspicion fell on Paul Reiker, an
orderly at the institution. He was
arrested, confessed, and was held for
trial in the night court. This led to
the discovery that another patient
Frank Price, was robbed of a dia,
mond stickpin while under the in
fiuence of ether in the surgical ward
and Reiker also confessed that theft

French.canadian Birth Rate.

When France is perturbed by that
ever-present specter, the falling birth
rate, there is the example of French
fertility in Canada to which students
of the problem may point from their
editorial stools in Paris. The results
of the Canadian census of 1911 have
recently been published and show g.
054,000 French out of a total popula-
ton of 100000, as compared with
3S7S,000 of English, Irish, and Scotch
combined. In 1901 the French were
81 per cent. of the whole; in 1911
only 29 per cent, but in the same pc
riod the Britannia preponderance had
fallen from 81 to 54 per cent. with
the introduction of other races. In the
ten years the French-Canadians had
added 405,519 to their number, strict
ly numerical increase of nearly 25 per
cent.-a rate the half of which would
make France delirious with joy could
she accomplish it.

WHY WIDOW WAS ANNOYED
Bandmaster's Tune as Funeral Passed
Was, to Say the Least, sumo
what Inappropriate.

Two or three years ago, says Charles
Harrell, bandmaster of the Irish
Guards, in the London Strand, we
were engaged to play on the occasion
of some athletic sports at a public
school near London, the grounds of
which overlooked a high road close to
a cemetery.
1t was a glorious day, hot Satur-
day afternoon. The sun shone, and
everyone was in the highest spirits,
but there was one thorn in what was
otherwise a bed of roses.
That afternoon seemed to have been
selected for an extraordinary number
of funerals!
To suit the occasion we naturally
played a light class of music, the
program including, for instance, a Sc
lection of the popular airs of the day,
and l had the greatest difficulty in
timing our performance SO as not to
clash with the mournful professions
that kept passing Again and again,
just as we were about to launch out
into the Merry Widow" or some
thing as embarrassingly appropriate,
would spy another hearse turning
the corner, and would have to hurried
ly change the tune or wait until the
mourners were safely out of earshot.
1t was little disconcerting and dis
tinctly trying. but 1 managed things
all right, thought, and congratulated
myself upon having come through a
difficult situation with flying colors.
But, alas, my selfsatisfaction was
short-lived! Three days later l re-
| ceived letter from an indignant wild
ow complaining that, of all tunes the
band had played Put Me Among the
Girls" while her dear husbands fu-
neral was passing the grounds!
