A tourist who visited Brussels at
the time of the Balkan war tells an
amusing story on himself. He admits
he had become somewhat nervous and
excitable as a result of his experiences
before reaching Belgium, so was de-
lighted to find himself safe and sound
in Brussels, where he put up at a small
and quiet hotel. But on retiring he
failed to find the expected rest, for his
dreams were suddenly interrupted by a
loud controversy, and after threats in
vehement French he was Mortified to
hear the sound of firearms.
Rushing from his. chamber, he halt
ed one of the hotel attendants and told
him some one was being murdered
next door. But to the chagrin OF the
traveller, the man only replied with a
smiling shrug: But, no, monsieur, 1t IA

morning the American had pointed out
to him the gay posters of the popular
melodrama which was being performed
at the theater adjoining his hotel.

that Brussels rejoices in noble men,

That persons who live together for

There is usually a strong desire on the
