Winston Churchill who led the de

of his subject greatly increased his
prestige is a son of the late Lord
Randolph Churchill and the former
Miss Jenny Jerome of New York now

descendant of the great Duke of Marl

politicians and have frequently been
mistaken for each other The English

Lost and found
In Enjrlnml 10 Per Cent In the Itec
OKrnlzeil Ketvaril
If you lost a watch worth 100 what
reward would you give the finder for
Its return V
Oh ten or twelve dollars
Ten per cent eh Well that Is
about right said the detective It
is more though than the average per
son would give Here in America in
lost and found cases there is no rec
ognized percentage of reward but in
England there Is such a percentage
namely half a crowno a pound that
Is to say about 10 per cent Ten per
cent Is what the finder must be paid
In England provided he takes his find
to a police station or to Scotland Yard
lie always does so as otherwise the
owner is apt to give him less than the
legal 10 per cent I lost In a London
cab a kit bag worth 20 The kit hag
was returned by the cabby to Scotland
Yard and I left there for him gladly a
reward of 2 If the bag had been
worth 2000 Id have been charier of
handing out 200 but that is what Id
have to do before the Scotland Yard
folks would have given me my prop-
ert3 When you lose anything be pre
pared to give at least 10 per cent to
the finder Ten per cent is the recog
nized reward in lost and found cases
abroad and it should be the recognized
reward here To my mind it Is little
enough and they win give less are to
my mind dishonest Philadelphia Bul

THE GAME OF CHESS
Finest 3Ientjil DrillniUNtcr the World
Ilni Ever Known
When the Romans placed over the
door of the temple of Janus Ex Ori
ente Lux et Ludus Scacchorum Out
of the East Came Light and the Game
of Cness they spoke of the two great
est bequests that the storied east had
ever made to the young and aggressive
west the light of religion and tho
greatest mental achievement of man
since he came through Edens frown
ing portals
In tho middle ages when the monks
and abbots watched from afar the bru
tal soldiery of Christendom swooping
down like a pestilence on the sunny
plains of the south they chanted A
furore Norinanorum libera nos O Dom
ine From the fury of the North
men deliver us O God and returned
to chess all that was left a noble soul
in a vain and turbulent world
Chess is the finsst mental drillmaster
the world has ever known As a mind
trainer it ranks above Greek and dia
lectics
But above all it is the science of bat
tle it is war without bloodshed it is
strife on equal terms which all tho
race loves and to which from the cradle
to the grave all mortality is subject
Charleston News and Courier
The Prim IJntch Girl
The etiquette of Holland is exceeding
ly strict in all classes The young girl is
most carefully chaperoned and she
never goes anywhere even to church
unless accompanied by her parents
some male relative or other equally
trusted attendant At a dance the
parents sit round the walls sipping
their coffee or wine and the young
men must make the best of their
chances in the opportunities afforded
by the dance for when it pleases the
guardians to depart there is no help
for it the girls must go too An un
married girl always takes the right
arm of her escort while the matron
takes the left perhaps because it is
nearer the heart

One of the most intimate friends of
M Dumas fds was a retired naval of
ficer who lived in a distant corner of
Normandy As soon as the author of
Camille died the officer went over
all the letters whicli he had received
from Dumas and destroyed every one
which referred to any private affairs of
the author Where letters also con
tained literary and philosophical dis
cussions he carefully blotted out the
personal parts in order that nothing
of a personal nature might ever reach
a publisher This Is an example not
often followed
Avoiding the Doctor
Dr Sanderson an old Scotch phy
sician Avas a queer character but a
clever doctor
So roughly did he handle his patients
that the ignorant were chiefly anxious
to escape him The story goes that as
he was passing along the street one
day a sweep rolled from the top to the
bottom of a staircase outside one of
the houses
Are you hurt called the doctor
running forward
Not a bit doctor not a bit replied
the man in haste Indeed I feel a
the better
