You may think it a strangr statement, but it is so. A girl will go on the streets in open day with a boy that get drunk, but the minute a boy finds out that a girl gets drunk he won't go with her.

It was the talk of the town, and in a week or so again appeared the words, "I am coming--opera house tonight." The billing had been done so mysteriously that the people flocked to see what it meant. The admission was only 25 cents, The house was filled. When nobody else could get in the fakir had a boy to raise the curtain and displayed on an easel in the same bold hand: am gme," And he was, forever. --There is a German negro colony in Penn sylvania, who speak nothing but German.

August Anderson and wife to A.F.Swanson, Brokenstraw, $6co Paris, Nov. the latest meeting the peace commissioners, The Figaro says: "The American commissioners contented themselves with producing a long memorandum written in English. After having deposited this upon the table they left the task of translating it to the Spanish commissioners, apologizing courteously for its length and the difficulties of translation. They then retired. The situation, then, at present Is as follows: The Americans persist in refusing to tlike over the Cuban debt and exact the cession of the Philippines.

The Spaniards, on their side, refuse to cede the archipelago." The Petit Bleu remarks: "All diplomatic forms outraged by the Americans at the sitting. It Is customary in such cases to read the memorandum presented to the other side. The Americans, however, contented themselves with throwing It, written in English, upon the table." Continuing, The Petit Bleu says: "A member of the Spanish commission has remarked that his colleagues can never admit the claims of America in regard to the Philippines. The protocol says the treaty of peace determine thp disposition and control of the Philippines, and the Americans now claim that 'disposition' means that the colony shall he surrendered to America. Thip Spain can never admit." The Petit Bleu then expresses its belief In an early rupture of the negotia-, tlons.

The Rappel says: "A Spanish com- has declared that the Span- lards will yield only to force in the luestion of the Philippine islands." Early Rnptnre Expected. Continuing, The Rappel asserts that it anticipates a rupture of the negotiations at an early date, adding: "The country which started out as the liberator of Cuba now threatens war, although her 'demands as to Cuba have been acceded to, because she cannot annex territory which played no part in the bringing on of the war. We preferred the liberator of Cuba to "the oppressor of Spain." The Gaulois presents a long argument in favor of Spanish retention of the Philippine ielinds, saying, among other things, that the Spaniards refuse absolutely to admit even in principle the cessation of their authority in the Philippine islands, adding that the outcome Is likely to be a rupture of the negotiations, followed by the occupation of the Philippine islands by the American troops. As a final eventuality The Gaulois intimates that there might be a possibility of European intervention, altrfough the paper doubts this, in view of the differences which divide France, Great Britain and Russia. Germany alone, according to The Gaulois, seems disposed to offer aid to Spain, saying: "The expected arrival of Emperor William at Cadiz and his probable visit to the queen regent are sufficiently significant indications of his friendly disposition to Spain." The Matin announces that the Spaniards, on Saturday next, will present "a fresh refutation of the points of law and fact advanced by the Americans." Continuing, The Matin remarks: "It is thought the negotiations will last for some time and it is altogether untrue that a rupture is imminent." M.
