TABLE DELICACIES

ENJOYS OWN JOKES.

MR. STEPHEN LEACOCK IN

ENGLAND.

Sitting in the lounge of a West End hotel recently was a well built, grey- haired man, dressed in a comfortable grey tweed suit, who was the centre of a gale of laughter.

He was Mr. Stephen Leacock, the humorous writer and professor of political economy at McGill University Montreal, who had just arrived in England for a three months' lecture tour. He was enjoying many jokes with some friends. His own laugh! was almost the loudest and' heartiest of all, and a reporter who was with him asked him if his own stories made him laugh.

"Yes," he said frankly, "they do, very much. They tickle me. That is the test. If a story makes me laugh I think it may make other people laugh."

Mr. Leacock's time of writing stories will be rather a shock to those people who cling to the English tradition that even to talk at breakfast is dreadful and that no one can be real- ly cheerful in the morning.

PROCEEDS OF ROBBERIES

Marcel Lemaire has been arrested in Brussels charged with a series of crimes, including murder and 'high- way robbery.

"Yes," she replied. in perfect English," but you cannot see him."

"Well, madame, kindly tell him that the caller is British, and wishes

to see him."

The nurse disappeared, leaving me in the small drawing-room. The grand piano in the corner was closed and covered with dust. It seemed as if sealed for ever, and no longer would its strings resound under the magic touch of the great master composer, who but a few years ago enthralled England with his splendid music.

On the mantelpiece were photographs of members of the British Royalty and of famous English musicians and singers. Piles of music were lying in a corner under a layer of dust. The room breathed neglect and desolation.

Here he met a companion named Friedmana, whose antecedents were as shady as those of Lemaire himself. The two visited Spanish Morocco, and finding the Moors in an ugly temper borrowed or stole sufficient money to enable them to reach Madrid,
