Britt Tells a Good One on Referee Eugene Corri. "I," says 11Ir, Eugene Corri, ]ting of boxing referees, in "Thirty Years a Boxing Referee," "who tell so many stories about boxers and box- ing, cannot complain if an occasional story is told about- me and against roe, That incorrigible wag, Jimmy Britt, the immaculately -dressed and dapper little ex -light -weight cham- pion, got his own back by relating the following to some of lay friends, who retailed it to me with delight. This is how Britt tells the story. I give it in his own words: "'When I came over to England this last time I met Mr, Corri in the Strand. He looked very hard at me. "Now, Britt, you have made a lot of money boxing, haven't you?" I said "Yes," Mr, Corri said, "Wiry don't You quit? You're beginning to show signs of what you are—a pugilist 011 the down grade, looking very old." "'Anyhow, Mr. Corri would insist on my lunching with him at the Savoy Hotel. We sat down at a table, and a little later two ladle$ and a man'—such was 13ritt's ex- pression— '-came in and sat at the next table and kept looking over at us continually. "'At last I heard one of the ladies say, "Who is that at the next table?"• The man answered, "He's a pugilist." "'The lady said, "What a brutal face he bas!" " "Yes," replied the man; "he's one of the foulest fighters in the ring, "'A little later on I heard the other lady ask, "Is he married?" "The mad replied, "Yes, that gentlemanly, clean-shaven little fel. low with him is his son," ' " A Witty AttorneY,Gei1e}'al, Sir Frederick Smith's activity in politics has brought back to r•ecollece tion some of the oratorical "good things" which have helped to make the brilliant reputation that he has won so quickly. In a debate on the death duties, for instance, he remarked: "One section of the community lives to enjoy old age pensions; another ha:i to die to pay them." Concerning the Liberals' licensing proposals of some years since he ob- served that thenceforward when you gave a publican sixpence you would receive in exchange one pennyworth of whisky and five pennyworth ot Lloyd George, In reply to an eminent Liberal Minister who had declined to "pro- tect" Lord Milner, he asked: "Doerr the House recollect La Fontaine's in- sect which expired under the lie -Press Sion that it had afforded life-long protection to the lion in whose car- cass its life had been spent?" Respecting Old sage Pensions he got off the following; "The pious Liberals! They give you seven and sixpence a week for living with your own wife and ten shillings a week for living with somebody else's." "Great Expectations." - Charles Green, one of Dickens' il- lustrators, had two models, one of whom was a likable fellow, while the other, Gregory by name, was a greedy, self seeking charaeter, al- ways thinking of himself and his perquisities. When Green was on his deathbed Gregory was very officious, and one 'day Green, noticing this, said to hint: "Oh, I haven't forgotten you Gre- gory. Got you down in my esti." At the funeral Gregory Invested in a wreath and duly attended to hear the will read. Green had kept his word, and the model was not forgotten. "To my dear friend Gregory," ran the document, "1 leave, for his kind- ness to Hie, an illustrated edition_ of 'Great Expectations.' " "Miners' Guardian Angel," Miners of the North of England this year celebrate the centenary of the introduction of the Davy safety - lamp. It was on January 10th, 1816, that the "miners' guardian angel" was first introduced into any pit. Sir Humphry Davy's invention Was really the outcome of the terrible calamity at Felling Colliery, Co. Durham, on May 25th, 1812, when )ninety-two Miners were killed and many injured. Dave began his experiments in the alttutnn of 1815, with fine wire gauze as a n "explosive sieve," and en Jen.; nary 10th, 1816, the first lamp was tried by a hardly band of pioneers in the workings of Hebburn -on -Tyne colliery.

TH11$ 14'0031 GREAT S(,licllll';ft For Tears a Miss Jenkins ('aneted on a Voluminous Correspondence With the Duke of Wellington— She lr i+ t \►-as Almost Fanatically Re- ligious and ,Sought to Save tial' Warrior From a Sinful Life, R. W. H. 1ITCIi]7TT tolls' a most curious and interesting story In the January Corn - hill Magazine with regard to a beantifu'l young girl who for years carried on at lengthy corres- pondence with the Duke of Welling- ton an religious matters. "Miss J--- (or Miss Jenkins, to give her her full name) was a girl of respectable family and good edu- catiou, ardent, emotional, beautiful, and deeply religious, though her re- ligion had in it a touch of the nar- rowness, as well as of the intensity, of a fanatic, Her father and mother were dead; her only sister had mar- ried and gone to America; her small estate was in the charge of trustees, and she was left to the care of friends, and with much larger lib- erty than most English girls under twenty enjoy. Her religion was the great fact of her life. It was mysti- cal, fervent, with a missionary note in it. "She hat a passionate desire to make converts, and sought for con- verts in unexpected realms. A mur- derer waiting to be hanged was in the local jail. 'Miss J ' obtained access to him, visited him, pleaded with him, wept over him, von him to repentance, and the man went to the scaffold blessing her. "She had tasted the rapture of spiritual success, and looked round for a new convert. The Dupe of Wel- lington—the best known, the busieot, the most commanding and honored figure in the Three Kingdoms—at- tracted her. It shows the cell-like life which 'Miss J ' lived that site *lid not so much as know then that the Duke was the conqueror of Na- poleon, the victor of Waterloo, "For her, he was simply a great worldly figure wild knew nothing of religion, and in 1824 she wrote a let- ter—a leiter winged by many pray- drs--warning him of the peril o1 liv- ing without a spiritual sense—sure and deep—of the forgiveness et sins through the redemption of Jesus Christ. Wellington, at that moment, was sixty -Eve years of age, a wifeless man, a grandfather, busy in great public affairs. "There was a note in this unknown girl's letter—a pleading . note, a gleam of spiritual fire—that, some- how, reached chords in Wellington's nature, and won a response that no one else --and nothing else --had ever evoked. IIe replied to her, by return post, in a letter dated Jan- uary 18th, 1835. "So began a correspondence which lasted seventeen years, during which Wellington wrote to 'Miss J-----" no fewer than 390 letters! That a man so busy, and so great, should find it possible to maintain a correspond- ence on religious subjects with a girl so long, is nothing less than astonish- ing. In 1835 he wrote seveenty-eight letters to her—three letters a fort- night. "After Wellington's death, 'Miss J----.' joined her asiter in America, and died there, and the letters, with 'Miss J—'s' diary, lay forgotten, in a trunk in the attic of a country (rouse near New York, for thirty years, They were at last discovered end published; and their genuineness es beyond doubt, and all our notions of Wellington's character must be re- adjusted to them. For they supply the only glimpses we liave into the spiritual side of the great soldier's hard and masterful nature." At an interview this- girl read to the Duke the third chapter of John, and Dr. Fitchett adds: "Here was a pr.!acher of quite an- other type from the Bishop of 'Exeter, anal a sermon on a very different text from his. A girl's lips were reciting Christ's tremendous words, 'Ye must be born again'—to him, and a girl's itplifted finger was challenging him. Some long -dormant religious sensi- bilities stirred in Wellington. The grace of the 'speaker, and the mystic quality of the thing "spoked, arrested. him. He seized 'Miss :f 's' hand, and, with his iron features strangely working, he said, 'Oh, how I love you!' At a later .interview° when asked what awoke this feeling in him, 'he replied,' says 'Miss ,a—,' 'with great solemnity of voice and nanner, 'God Almighty." iY.„ ' Allt ) s surely makes literature parted by whole horizons from, say, Welling- ton's 'Despatches'!” Left It to the Chaplain. "Very touching at times," says Dean Welidon in lits Reminiscences, "is the simple confidence of the sol- diers in the chaplain as their friend and their guide. One of the chap- lains whom I knew Well related to me the following story. There came to him a Tommy, who said that he wanted to he married. The chaplain congratulated him, and asked frim when he would like the marriage to take place. The soldier answered, 'I leave that to you, sir,' 'The chap- lain was a little taken aback, but he ventured to ask further who the sol- dier's fiancee might be, and again the reply was, 'I leave that to you, sir.' "Fuller tr;:st glade no ratan than this," - Didn't Know It 'Was Loaded. The old, old plea "didn't know it was loaded" may also apply to the, army, according to a Tomnly in ton. don from Gallipoli, .With an empty kerosene can for a kettle and six Turkish shell cases for a grate a party of Australian soldiers were pre- paring tea. Suddenly there was a terrine explosion, There were no eastualtiee, but uniforms were ruined and the tea was over. It was one of the Turkish shell eases. They didn't know It was loaded, - Should Speak With Authority. Bishop Frodsham, in his book, "A Bishop's I'leasaunce,„ tells a good story against himself.
