How Bouvet Went Down.
The Havas correspondent obtained
from a survivor of the Bouvet the fol-
lowing story Of the sinking of the
French battleship:
THE Bouvet advanced at full speed
into the narrows. We bombarded Fort
Hamidieh, whose batteries responded
vigorously. The Turkish shells at first
| were poorly aimed, but they soon de-
termined the correct range. Shells
burst on the Bouvet and on all sides
of sher, causing serious damage.

orders to change our course, when
heard a terrible noise. 1t was the ex-
plosion Of the powder magazine.
Immediately the Bouvet commenced

waters. The forts kept up an un-
ceasing fire against our ship. although

to Think About.

City Magistrate Krotel. who is noted
for characteristic brand of dry hui
NOR, occasionally manifested in ut
terances from the bench, turned a
cruel shaft loose upon a pestiferous
young attorney this week, to the SUI
preme enjoyment of a crowded court
room, says the New York correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Times-Star. The
young attorney was prosecuting in a
case where the maintaining of nui-
sance was alleged. The rulings of
Magistrate Krotel did not please him.
His numerous objections became per
sistently controversial. IF your honor
pleases,' he said, Il would not pre-
sumo to instruct the honorable court
in a question of law. but am impelled
to observe that | doubt-in the pres
ent case only, of course-if the court
properly conceives of what constitutes
a nuisance"
You are mistaken, sir" was the re-
Spouse from the bench. This court
has never had more clear or exem-
plary idea of what constitutes a nui-
sance than in the present case at the
present time. And for that, in a
measurable way. the court thanks you,
sir"

Lord Kitchener, it is said, is very
pleased with the result of the present
temperance move.
I'VE are all temperate now" said
his lordship recently.
ITO get drunk is an unheard-of thing
among gentlemen. If gentleman
ever gets drunk nowadays he has. you
may be sure, remarkable excuse to
offer" To illustrate his point Lord
Kitchener told this story:
A major, after a fancy dress ball at
Simla, came home drunk and his
shocked wife said to him:
Aren't you ashamed to return from
the ball in that condition.
Don't blame me, my dear" said the
major; you must remember that the

turned to natural misunderstanding:
A young housewife who lives in a
suburban town went to the village
store to make some purchases.
These chickens look very nice" re-
marked the customer, pausing before
the poultry counter. How much are
they?'
"One dollar apiece, madam was the
prompt response of the obliging pro-
prietor. You can't find better poul-
try for the money in the whole coun-
try"
One dollar" thoughtfully unused
the customer, and then added: Did

assurance of the misunderstanding
storekeeper. That is the same price
