Was In Ashanti Campaign of 1824-- Has Been Through Twenty-8¢ven Since Then--Early Experience of Value of Tips--Natives and Back- sheesh--Through Tropical Forests to the Front. I had been working for five years on the staff of The Illustrated Lon- don News before I even got the chance of making my first success as a war correspondent, writes Mr. Melton Prior, the famous artist and war cor- respondent, in speaking of his first success. That was in the Ashanti war. Between then and now I have been through twenty-seven campaigns, and iu one of them, during a period of ten months, 1 was inside eight square fients, a square fight being one in which the army is drawn up in the form of a square with the enemy sur- rounding it on all sides. Before my chance of going to the front for The Illustrated London News came I had, of course, to get on to the paper. Mr father was an artist, and as a boy used to help him to get his drawings ready. When 1 was about fitteen I thought I. could some small advertisements, and I' used to make little drawings for him. I got from half-a-crown to rey shill- ings a drawing, and in this way 1 made from twelve to fifteen shillings a week. It gradually grew until I was making a pound, then thirty shillings, then two pounds a week, with the re- sult that instead of being kerd by my father, by the time I was sixteen } was paying for my keep at home. hen I got to know a Mr. Thompson, who had the Penny Miscellany, and Y offered to illustrate a story for him for six months for nothing. Natural- ly, he jumped at the idea. That led ty my illustrating two stories, then I was drawing $35 a week. Early War Work. Bome time afterwards there was fancy bazaar at the Botanical Gar- dens, which was opened by the late Princess Mary of Teck. I went there d made a ooh, 1 took the sketch 0 The Illustrated London News. It was accepted, and I made the drawing which was duly published. After that was often sent by the paper to make sketches of topical events. I had often told Mr. Mason Jackson, fhe art editor, that if he ever wanted me to go away for him I should be glad to do so. As a matter of fact, six months before the Ashanti war broke out, I proposed to him that he should send me there to make draw- ings. When the war did break out the appointment was offered to two or three senior artists on the staff. They, Béwever, declined, for everyone knew, that the climate was beastly, though 3 has a good deal improved dince then by careful drainage. The refusal of the other artists was my chance, and I accepted with alacrity when I was asked if I would go. Bir William Ingram took me into his foom, told me what was wanted, pro- duced the inevitable check, and sent fe to an outfitter's in Cornhill to t whatever kit I needed. I went to fin on Saturday, and I left on Tues- : they worked on Bunday to clothes ready.

Goose Farm, Broad Oak, Canter- bury, was the scene recently of some curious evictien proceedings a country court bailiff went to the farm to per- suande the tenant, Mr. A. W. Minter, t> quit, in accordance with the terms of a notice which had been served ypon him. The tenant replied by barricading his doors. Thereupon, the bailiff had the windows boarded up on the outsiae and the chimneys stopped Finding after several days that the occupants of the farmhouse showed no sign of capitulation, the bailiff .decid- ed upon more forcible measures. By means of a drain-tester, a concoction of tar-twine, and cayenne pepper he sought to smoke them out. From 11 o'clock until three evil-smelling fumes were steadily pumped into the build- ing. Then the barricades were sud- denly removed from the front door, and the farmer, accompanied by his mother and a little terrier, appeared on the threshold. They were cheered by a huge crowd of villagers and visitors from Canterbury. The bailiff and the occupants of the farm shook hands with great heartiness; and the crowd cheered again as the new tenant step- ped across the threshold of the hardly 'won citadel.

This is ob- ously the fault of the Chartered Company. Well-fed lions will not eat mail bags, love letters, or even the most tasty local newspapers. In or- der to avoid similar catastrophes, the Government ought to undertake the feeding of these lions In view of this bloodthirsty sug- gestion, it is reassuring to learn from the official circular that the registered letters and parcels despatched on the same date were "duly received at Fort Jameson." Even lions appear to respect registered letters THE WATERMELON. Not What It Used to Be, at Least In the Eating Thereof. In the old days, when the world was much better than it is now, there were good watermelons. As we remember them, the water. melons of twenty-five or thirty or thir- ty-five years ago were huge affairs. They were none of your overgrown cucumber effects of today, but were great Lig round fellows, and the out- side was a dark green. It was the same shade of green as the reflection of the trees In a swimming hole. And when you sunk the knife Into it the rind ripped acd cracked for two inches ahead of the blade, and the melon just laughed itself open. Hold on! You didu't use a knife You lifted the melon above your head and dropped it to the ground, and it burst open, as red as a rose and a hundred times as sweet. And you ate nothing Lut the heart--just the chunky red heart.

Travelers returning from England tell of two habits of the people of that country which impressed them. One is the avernge Englishman's aversion to shutting the door behind him. "I don't know how fit Is in the Eng- lish houses," remarked one who has toured England, "for 1 was pot In one of them. But I stayed in a hotel In Loudon where there were a good many English people, and a dozen times | daily 1 bad to get up and shut a door to keep the draft away. "It didn't make any difference whether it was a servant or a guest who went through, the door was left open. This was In the spring of the year, too, when the weather was chilly. 1 noticed the same thing In railway coaches and hotels of smaller towns." The other English peculiarity is a preference for riding backward on trains. The Englishman will make for the seat with Its back to the engine every time, plant htmself down in it with every cvidence of comfort and look wounderingly at anybody wha picks out a sent facing the direction the train is going. Not once did one American traveling in England see a native choose a seat facing the front | of the train unless there were no other seats. A Wife In Bondage.

The dif- ficulty was to think of something suf- ficlently biting, for the duke was a good master, as has been remarked. Then an inspiration flashed on Bob. The duke's duchess had been §ppoint- ed a lady in walting to the queen, and this was Bob's opportunity. ~*~ "All right, yer grate" be sald, "I'll go, but I'll tike beart to say this: Though I'm a poor man I've never had to send my missus out to service, and thats more'n some people can £ay."--London Chronicle.

BEAU AND BURGLAR. -° * in Real Life ho Made © $75,000 a Year. ; The most amazing ii i Europe, the exact prototype in re life of "Raffles," has been arrested af Munich after a series of burglaries probably unequalled in modern crim~ inal history by one man. He is & Swede, Carllson by name, who pre« pared himself for his career as a burd glar by serving an apprenticeship as a locksmith. Since then he posed as a nobleman, an author, millionaire, snd a dij lomatist, wit! consummate skill, living in princely, style in Berlin, Munich, Paris, Vienna and other cities under different names, and in different disguises All the, time he has lived by the most daring burglaries, usually at hotels, although at times he was not averse from loots ing the private residence of a mil lionaire or an art connoisseur. Ha has changed his role and his address according to necessity, amd avoided arrest with great skill, although the best detectives in Europe have been searching for him for months. Car- Hson ts described as a man of "very gentlemanly" appearancs, with res fined tastes, and pronounced artisti and literary inclinations. He was a great favorite among women, who were charmed by his exquisite man- ners. Carllson waa noted for his taste in dress, and while living in Vienna in the guise of a diplomat on leaw: he is said to have inaugurated a ins fashion in neckties. When arrested. | Carllson was gbaying at the most tashionable hotel in Munich, where: he occupied an expensive suite, x posed as a Danish nobleman of great wealth. The police found $7,500 im. his possession, in addition to jewels valued af $156,000. Tt is estimak "gays the rlin correspondent of the "Express," that his annual income from burglaries averaged $75,000 dur ing the past ten years.
