WINDFALLS FOR GAMINS.

Two Lavish Gifts Pestowed on a Pair of Bright Boys.

Quite recently the pretty wife of a prosperous manufacturer looking Into a confectioner’'s window when a barefooted lad of about 10 coolly walk- ed up to her ang placed his rugged arm through hers.

**Excoose this liberty, mum,” he said, with comical ceremony, ‘‘but I ain't got a mother o’ my own, an I feels lonely. Will ye kiss me?’’

For a mcmeut the lady was too as- tonished to speak, but the sight of the dirty face turned so audaciously up to hers drove away her indignation. Much to the amusement of the passers- by she kissed the lad soundly, asked him where he lived and dismissed him with a few coppers. But that was not the end of the little incident, for some weeks after the boy was hunted up by the lady’s husband and presented with £100—** payment for the kiss taken in front of the confectioner’s window,” the lady said.

A good natured gentleman who is very stout, amd on that account does not care to stoop, ounce dropped his brier pipe in the middle of a busy street. The pipe was a great favorite of his, but he dared rot run the risk of bending down, and after gazing regretfully at his fallen treasure he decided to aban- don it. Before he could do sa, however, a little streeé arab saw his plight, and, running forward, picked up the pipe and restored it to him.

The gentleman stared at the boy without speaking for awhile, and then pulled a handful of gold out of his focket.

“Take this, kiddie, and be careful bow you spend it,’’ he said. ‘‘Mind al- 60 that whatever you de with it you are not to spend it on butter scotch, for that's che stuff that made me fat.”’

He then walked away, leaving the astonished urchin in possession of a windfall amounting to over £30.—Lon- don Telegraph.

Was

Altogether Too Wise.

The engaged girl was thoroughly modern in her ideas, while the girl who Was not engaged wes given to old fash- ioned romanticism.

“Tell me all about it,’’ said the girl who was not engaged.

“*Oh, there isn’t swered the enguged girl. ‘‘I suppose the method of procedure is about the same in all cases. *’

**I presume,’’-said the girl who was wot engaged dreanmily, ‘‘that he looked soulfully into your eyes and asked you af you loved hinr?’’

**Not a bit af it,’’ returned the en- eaged girl quickly. ‘*‘He was altogether t00 Wise tO ask any such question at thet. He merely asked me if I'd marry him.’’—Chicugo Post.

His Choice.

An Irishman in France was chal- Jenged by a Frenehman to fight a duel, to which he readily consented, and suag- gested shillaiabs.

“That won't do,’’ said the second. “As the challenged party you have the Tight to choose the arms, but chivelry demands thut you should decide upos a Weapon with whieh Frenchmen are fa- miliar.’’

*“*Is that so?’’ returned the Irishman. “Then, begorra, we'll foight wid gaal- jotines.'’—London Tit-Bits.

A BRUSSIAN GROWL,

Russia’s reply to the new Britizh policy ot Imperial federation ‘s beginning to be heard. There ts po more sign-figant utter- ance than this from the St. Petersburg

| Novoe Vremya:

* English patriots imagine that Imper- ial federation will enable the British Km- pire to dictate with impuuity to the world by means of an enormous fleet created be the common resources Of the Empire and complete ecomonical independence. Here in, however, lies the weakness of the fut- ure federation.

“Ae soon as a British customs union is created, England, together with her colon- ies, will lose all connection with the rest of the world, A final rujtie with her then will Le of no conscquence to any state, becanse all ecomenic§ intere-ts in her will be gone. [Lu such 2 case, a per manent alliance or coalition among the continental Powers would be very proba. ble.

“Every time the British policy ran counter to the interests of Kurope tinat O.iion would put in demands, ard no fleet or army, however powerful, could successfully euforce Kugland’s opposition No feet in the world would be able te pro- tect from hostile the many thousands of miles of sea between the colonies and Great Britian.

“It would be equally

Cruisers

lin possible to A cer- tain number of the evemy’s warships would always escape pursuitand be able to cut off or at least interfere with the ocean trade of Mistress of the Seas. Hlav- ing no longer any connection with other states, and being temporartly cut off from her colontes, England would see the ruin ot her iwdustries and die of famine.

“It may be safely atlicmed that without allies on the centinent the island power will pot jissue victoriems from a military conffict, and England cannot find any ally even gow. This is the fruit of an exclus- ive, selfish, national policy long pursaed without discrimination as to the end,

“There now approaches the moment of retribution. A Stete shutting itself up within the ovarrew circle of egotistical aspirations will remain alore in the d-y o¢ misfortune, aw no project of federation will help it.”

SCOTT ACT MANIFESTO.

To the People of P. E. Island: War wiil von bave, Scott Act or Rum ?

after election day.

Free Wewill have one or the other The times are laden with golden oppor- the

cause of temperance; and it behooves men

tunities for, and woeful dangers to, and women everywhere to be in real and active earnest in promoting temperance and denouncing the liquor traffic.

Charlottetown holds the key of sobriety or drunkenness for this Province. The Scott Act election, to be held July 22nd decides which door will be opened—whether from the fountain head of P. E. I-land will flow a stream of good or one of damn- ing i.fluence, contaminating more or less every boy and girl, every min and woman in this province. The enemy is strony’ y wealth and power is concentrated here and will fight as never before for its very existence It s tenfold harder to drive liquor out of the city than out of the country.

The success or defeat of the Scott Act will not only strongly affect, for weal or woe, the people of P. E. Island for some years to come but will have a pronounced effect upon the coming Plebiscite. The eyes of this great Dominion are on us, and the result of this election will be strongly felt by the people from thie Atlantic to the shores of the Pacific. Mr.S. F. Spence, of Toronto, in writing, says it will be a great calamity to the temperance cause ir

the Scott Act is defeated in Charlottetown. Now then, in view of these things, we ask for your sympathy and financial aid. May God give us all wisdom and power to fight and maintain His cause.
