They Took the Lash,

One Of the traditions of the British
Royal Yacht club is Of Lord Yarbor-
ough's Falcon, the crew Of which were
paid extra wages on condition that
they they submitted to the usual rules
in force on British vessels of war.
These included flogging under certain
circumstances, and it is said that in
consideration Of the additional sum
paid by Lord Marlborough some of the
crew cheerfully submitted to the oc-
casional application of the cat-o-nine-
tails. Indeed, before the Falcon left
Plymouth sound for cruise all hands
cordially signed a paper setting forth
the usefulness Of sound fogging in
cases Of extremity and their perfect
Willingness to undergo the experiment

REPUBLICANS HOPE TO
ELECT MANN SPEAKER
Count on Progressives to Vote With
Them-One Short of Majority
in House.

Washington, Nov. 16. - Incompleted
canvasses of the vote in several close
congressional districts have brought
40 changes in the unofficial election
results which indicate that 217 Re-
pubiicans, PIP Democrats and six of
other parties have been elected to the
Sixty fifth congress.
Representative Doremus, Speaker
Clark and other Democratic leaders
however, confidently expect to cut
down the Republican plurality.
Representative Woods, chairman of
the Republican committee, insisted
that the Republicans undoubtedly
would control the organization Of the
House.
Although unofficial returns show the
Republicans to be one short of a ma
jority, they are counting on the Pro-
gressive elected in Minnesota, the Pro-
gressive-Republican in Louisiana and
the Independent In Massachusetts to
vote with them for James r. Mann for
speaker.

Even to Residents Of the City.
When it comes to confusing street
systems London should not be over
looked. Some consider it tile most con-
fusing, even Londoners not always be-
ing sure Of locations.
AS an example of what Que meets in
the British capital man once asked
to be directed to a certain house on
King street. He was sent in one di-
rection. When he did not come to
King street as soon as he expected he
asked again for King street and was
sent in an opposite direction. Again
not sure Of his direction, he asked a
third time for King street and was
asked which King street he wanted
The question stumped him, not know
Ing that London has nineteen King
streets. This number does not include
the King streets in London's suburbs.
If this man who wanted King street
had asked for Queen street his predic-
ament would have been even greater,
for there are thirty-four Queen streets
in London.
Great as the city is, it is far behind
New York in regard to a comprehen-
sive street system, even though cor

F0RETOLD HIS OWN DOOM.
Lord Kitchener Felt That He Would
Lose His Life at Sea.

Lose His Life at Sea.
Lord Kitchener had sort of fore
boding Of an accident at sea. So much
was this the case that he never cross
ed from Dover to Calais without wear
ing life belt waistcoat, one that he
had specially made for him In Egypt
before he made his famous advance to
Khartum.
Though so often on the sea and. an
excellent sailor, he detested sea trips
and never felt comfortable on board
any ship. He complained that the sea
affected his sight,
Another curious point was that while
he always acquired curios in any part
OF the world in which he might be, he
took care never to allow his purchase
to be on the vessel on which he was q
passenger.
When Lord Kitchener was in France
a few months before he lost his life
at sea off the Orkney islands he was
visiting the British front. There he
met his friend, the naval Captain
Testu de Balincourt, then on service
at Dunkirk, whom Lord Kitchener ask
ed to be his special aid If he should
need one later during the war;
Lord Kitchener told his friend how
a heavy shell had burst close to him
while on this visit, but added, '"rhat
did not disturb me, for l know that ]
shall die at sea. New York Sun.
