ACROSS the harbor entrance, between

an extent that he moved the expulsion of
the offending visitors. The motion was car

It was nulte another to parry It out. The

state of affairs might have continued till

after many years, when this ungallant
attitude waa relaxed, they were allowed to
peep only from a email loft above the chan

The loft would be packed to suffocation,
for It held but fourteen, and at best only
glimpse could be had at tha House

Miss Bdgeworth's time, and she thus de
scribes It: "One lantern with a farthing

Why "Merry" England?
I.IVER JOHNSON, of Indianapolis,
who was Vice Consul Oeneral In Lon
don under John C. New nearly fif
teen years ago. was one of the wits
nf the Century Club when that Institution
now defunc(-was the dilly meet'ng
place of a circle that comprised the late
Jsmes R. Osgood and James McNeill
Whistler, Jonathan Sturgls, Isaac Hender
son, Poultney Blgelow Arthur Brisbane,
Edwin A. Abbey and other well known
Amer eans then res dent n the British
metropolis. I
On a certain sombre Sunday In Novem
ber Johnson was lunching with an English
friend at the club. A Sunday In Liondon,
owing to laws similar to those that regu
late the observance of the Lord's Day In
American cities, is not unduly exhilarat
ing, and during the months that the sun Is
obscured It Is one of the most melancholy
places within the confines of civilisation.
No Londoner who can possibly get away
for the day ever remains In town, but on
this occasion Johnson and his friend had
mlsaed their train to the country and were
forced to make the best of their unhappy
lot In the urban gloom.
Having finlehed their luncheon the two
men sat looking through tha windows Into
i a yellow fog In U.-afton street for an hour
without exchanging a word. They were
the only members In the club; the streets
were all but deserted; there waa nothing
to do and no place to go In all the big
town.
Finally Johnson broke the silence. Turn
ing to his English friend he said, with
extreme bitterness:
"Will you be kind enough to Inform nie
who In the name of Saint Ananias It was
that named this place 'Merry' England?"
' India, at last advice, had IfcJ.OOJ persons

Though the faculty felt a great Interest In
him they had not the time to give to his
