"On the slow and cheap ships," said u purser. "the s?uvenir thief does no hann, put on a famous Atlantic liner, where records are broken and tiptop prices abound, the amount of stuff that disappears ls shocking. "Only things with the boat's name on-champagne glasses, ink wells, curl ing tongs, buttonhooks, and so forth. And what are we to do about it? "We had an American ^peeress aboard last voyage.

Just as it was passing the group of ducks he made a sudden dive, pulled down a bird and swam back to shore under water. Arrived there, he carried the duck to the pile of heather, where his wife and daughter were no doubt walting to enjoy the fruits of his la bors.-"Forty-five Years of Sport." 8ome Troubles of a Pianist. Harold Bauer, the pianist, has had some curious experiences during his travels. While playing in Barcelona he was challenged to fight a duel by an ex cited member of the audience whom he had reproved for disturbing the re cital by his noisy conduct. On another occasion, in Italy, he bad to be car ried through ah underground tunnel to escape the attentions of frantic ad mirers. One of his most extraordinary expe riences was in Russia. It was in o little town near Moscow, and in the middle of his performance the pianist was arrested by the police on the t grounds that he was obtaining money under false pretenses. The police ac tion was based on the grounds that a . Hungarian dance appeared on the pro gram and that there were no dancers. They overlooked the terrible fact that Mr. Bauer had played two marches j without a single soldier being present I -Cincinnati Tribune. Mrs. Fyffe Declined. Some years ago It was decided by the navy department that the pres ence of the wives of the naval officers at thc Asiatic station detracted too much from their official duties.
