On her return her motnar said—- ‘ Where have you been, my. dear ? ’ ‘ Only walking in the park,’ she replied. ‘ With whom,’ pursued her mothey. ‘No one, nnmma,' said the young girl. ‘No one,’ tier mother repeated. ‘No one,’ was the reply. ‘ Then,’ said the older lad}', ‘ explain how it is that yon have c ime home with a walking stick instead of an umbrella.” —“ New York Tribune.”

Hosie got in, and was working the boat up stream to let McEweu embark, when the nose caught in a wire stretched across the stream, causing the boat to swing out into the river. Hosie caught hold of the wire and the boat was dragged from under his feet. He was seen hanging m f > Rio wire for some minutes, and tijeu disap peared.

JAPAN'S ARMY CONTRACTS. Japan is determined, at all cost*that her military adinmi.Mration shall not be sullied by contract scandals. Two such scandals, dating back to a period long before the war, have been discovered. Instead of hushing the matter up until a more convenient opportunity, a siib-cmnniiiteo of the House ot Reprcsent.ifivt s has decided to ask the judgment of the Emperor on tTe case. As the Premier, Count Katsura, was war minister at the time of Iha scandals, the p isition of thi Government may be shaken by the in ■ve ligation, but even that aspect ot 1 Incase was net allowed to interfere with th<i iuquiiy. The ailegati ms c® tcern. the firm of Okura and Co., a prominent firm of Japanese merchants. It is said that they received an order to build barracks three years ago, without th« contract being offered to public ■ <rapetition and made illegal profits of £2OO of it; also that they received i‘4.o tor hay which they did not deliver. This telegram is interesting when com pared with the frequent stories of cor rnption in the Russian army, for which nobody gats punished.
