"'Do you expect a man/ someone might say, 'to carry Iho baby, go to market and play the. fool?' 'Well/ added Mr Crooks, "nobody would take the slightest notice of me at Poplar going down the street openly carrying a half-pound of butter and a loaf—and I am a member of Parliament. (Laughter). People might say: '(.'ood morning, Mr Crooks, or '(lood-morning, Mr Crooks/ or 'Cood morning, Bill/ or 'la the missus all right; she's at home frying the bacon!'" (Laughter). A romantic elopement of. a school-girl with her father's groom has occurred at Bourne, a village near JAirnham. Among the residents in the village is a gentleman of independent means. Some months ago he engaged a groom, and shortly afterwards the youngest of his four daughters, a strikingly pretty girl of eighteen, returned hoiue from school to be present at Iho marriage of her eldest sister to an Army ollicer. She did not go back to school, and was thrown much in the company'of the groom, who frequently drove her out 011 sketching excursions. A warm attachment between the two iesulted. The groom was dismissed for some reason, lie remained in the village, however, and a day or two later he and the young lady suddenly disappeared. Inquiries proved that the couple left Farnham together by an early train, and the next day the lather received a letter from his daughter saying that she was now married, and living very happily with her husband at Reading. It is stated that she had .CUOO when she left home. One of the most feted arrivals of laic in Vienna is kept jealously guarded by several (Jerman policemen in his special apartment. He eats nothing but what is given him by his attendants, and his diet is ehielly Brunswick sausages. Jle sleeps on rather than in a bed by himself. This is the celebrated detective dog Harms, who has already brought to justice two murderers whom the police failed to find. His discovery of the assassin of a child aged eleven three days after the minder lirst rendered him famous. The dog relies entirely 011 his extraordinary scent for picking out culprits. His secoud feat was the detection of the carpenter Schulz, who killed a servant girl. A less known instance was the Jinding of a missing woman who had left her home and \\n(\ not been heard of for a week. Harms was left for two or three days in her room, and when released went straight across country to a river, sprang in, and brought the body to the bank, llarras is a German collie, aged five years, white and brown, with an extraordinarily intelligent eye.
