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. The actual lac ip is now a
treasure in the Geological Museum in
Jermyn street, London,

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.„ '

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.'
