"By hook or by crook," caused a lot of trouble when the Inquiry into the fire at the Cafe Parlslen was continued before Fire Commissioner Ritchie. says the Montreal Star. J.-T. Hackett, representing fire In surance .companies, was handing the hotel register to a witness when Leon Garneau, representing the cafe pro prietors, objected on the ground that a previous witness had given the names of guests In the hotel on the night of the fire. Mr. Hackett was much incensed and raised the point that Mr. Garneau was warning the witness. "My learned friend has BERLIN CELEBRATES BISMARCK'S OF GERMAN TRANSPORT (Ml, m J in Poland, while transport tralna of the CARRY WOUNDED SOLDIERS - VL, ..SrltH : for carrying wounded In the manner gained his point," be said, "as I knew he would, by hook or by crook." This angered Mr. Garneau, who wanted to know if that phrase Implied that he was a crook, or was using crooked methods; If so, be would In voke the ruling that only courtesy al lowed counsel for companies to be present In bearings of this kind, and he would ask that Mr. Hackett be ex cluded. The latter explained thai the phrase originated with the Irish defenders of Limerick, who had to de fend two channels, the Hook and the Crook, from English attacks. Mr. Garneau was satisfied, and the Incident closed.

Practically every day she is on duty along that route watching for the railway and cargo steamers on their way to Hull or Har wich or Rotterdam. She hss a num ber of captures to her credit at this point, although she has not yet suc ceeded In getting any of the fast mall or railway packet boats. Their speed Is superior and they vary their course on each trip so as to make It impos sible for the submarine to lie ut wait along the way. The following description of the pursuit of one of the rallwaf steam ers Is published here: "The ship was pounding atoag at 12 knots, when suddenly there was a flash of sunlight on the surface of the sea, maybe two miles away, and the lookout culled sharply, "Subma rine on the port bow!' "There was a sharp coimaad to the man at the wheel and the chip changed her course. Then a quick call down the tube and the eaglneer sang out to his stokers, 'Beat her up, boys, U-2S Is having another go.' "Down the stokehold tnmbled the deckhands, eager to help with shovel and oilcan. The water Jumped In the gauge, the safety valves showed slgnB of torment, there was a smell of heated bearings, the ship began to quiver, while the perspiring crew made bets with each other on the race. "The captain himself took the wheel. Beside him stood the ship's boy, watching with fascinated eyes the white wake which marked the course of the submarine sailing at 14 knots to cut them off. Smoke and fire streamed from the funnels and there was an odor of burning paint. The Iron deck chattered and groaned under the demands of the engines and, the ship gained headway. "Suddenly the captain's shoulder gave a lurch, his arms shot down, the boy, thrown oft his balance, full against the bulwarks, and the ship swerved In a half circle on a new course. Gradually the Bpeed rose to 13, 14, 14 V6 knots. The captain's face relaxed into a smile. "What If the engine should break down? thought the boy, as his eyes again sought that distant white wake, In the long stern chase the same thought often came to the captain, but his face showed nothing but a quiet Interest and bis hands held strong on the wheel. Smaller and smaller grew the pursuer, until finally It sullenly gave up the chase. Then came a call down the tube, a heavy sigh of relief from the engineer, and the men came tumbling back to deck. " 'Good-by old U-28, we've beaten her again,' shouted one of the crew, gazing astern. "'Yes, I and the old man did,' ex claimed the boy." Changes Involved by War. It Is likely that the English will learn some new tastes and new habits when their men come home. They may bring back with them a tasto for French bread, strong coffee, choco late which Is not cocoa), cheap wine and black cigarettes. Even English men, after long residence in France, come by custom to prefer coffee to tea, and the full-flavored cigarettes of the French Regie (CaporalB and Mary lands) to the lighter kinds popular In this country. French soldiers brought back with them from Algeria the tasto for absinthe, and English officers brought back with them from Egypt In 1885 the cigarette habit. We may take It. too, that our soldiers will bring home with them many frag ments of the French language. The Boers gave us the word "com mandeer." This war has given us no new terms so far, tut It will probably add a good deal of French to our slang -Manchester Guardian. Changing the European Map. While sages are pondering over the futuro geographical outlines of Euro pean countries, a little Indianapolis schoolboy Is having wondrouB visions all his very own. He states In answer ing an examination query, that "Two rivers of France are the Danube and the Rhine, and the capital of France Is Budapest." Then, too, a little girl adds to the Interesting study of that country the . startling disclosure ihat "France ex ports silks, cotton and other beautl-s ful scenery." In the same set of test papers It is found that "Great Britain is made up of Scotchland, whales and Irish." Finally, the teacher has definitions of textiles propounded to her as "roof ing." "slate," "a Mnd of tile," and "ma chinery." Yet some folk say that the life of a schoolteacher Is dull. Much Depends on the Way It's Said. "I don't claim to be a Judge of women." said Koyea E.
