Shortly after visiting Toulon, Churchill's cruiser anchored off Cannes, where the First Lord received an invitation to go ashore. • He went alone jo a fashionable house, noted fob high play, where he found many well known society per sons gathered around the tables. Churchill soon was engrossed In a game, and after an hour's play found himself richer by 32.DOO. The First Lord of the Admiralty was warmly congratulated on his sudden streak of luck, especially by a beautiful young woman, who, with two aristocratic- looking men, had paid close attention to Churchill and his play. , While chatting with this young woman the First Lord of the Ad miralty stowed his wad of money away in his right hip pocket. A few minutes later he took his leave. It was not until he was aboard his cruiser and he started to tell about his luck that he found the wad was missing. This was bad enough, but with the money had disappeared the pocket- book containing notes on British naval matters which would be extremely valuable to foreign powers. It is rumored the woman in the case is a member of an international band actively engaged in espionage. The political section of Scotland Yard Is making secret inquiries.

Here is Caruso’s own story of how he played truant when he was a little boy. and the result: "It was in the springtime,” said Caruso, "so instead of going to school I made friends with the urchins of the streets, and played truant—hookey, you call it—for one solid month.

Well, the idea struck me that it would be a delightful amusement, to climb like a monkey, hand over hand, to the top. So up T started, agile as an ape, happy as the worthless little rascal that l was. But. alas! My father, with a stout riding whip, had follow ed. and was standing right below. He said nothing and let me climb on, un til I was too high to dare to jump back and then, without the least warning, he gave me the thrashing of my life I couldn’t get down. I tried in vain to climb up out of reach of the lash. It was a salutary drub bing, and I think it made me a better boy. At any rate, I followed him meekly homeward and never played truant again. * * * Here's one told on Nat Goodwin.

When Maxine Elliott was getting ready to build the theater which bears her name in New York she ex perienced some little difficulty in dis posing of a $10,000 block of stock. She tried several persons, but no one seemed to want it. Finally she was urged to write to Mr. Goodwin, whom she had divorced. In her letter she explained the sit uation and closed with the follow ing: “Considering our relations in the past I thought you might want to take some stock, not only because it would help me out of a tight place, but because it would be a good in vestment for you.” Nat read the letter carefully and after a brief reflection resealed it and wrote on the envelope: "Opened by mistake—Nat Good win.” He heard no more of the stock transaction Sheriff of Boston Banishes Toothache 1 Fits Up Dental Chair in Charles Street Jail to Help Suffering Prisoners.
