Jack and The Foreigner —A very f uony incident was witnessed the other day by * good many people in front of the Hotel de Il'Europe, says the Singapore Free Press. A British blue jicket was comiDg slowly along the read, quietly smoking his pipe, when two big foreigners w» Iked past him, turning their hf<ads »3 they did bo, and spitting repeatedly in his direocion, in order to exhibit their opinion of Britain in general and chat blue jacket in part oular. Jack halted, pczz'ed, but only for a moment. He BWiftly went up to one of them and floored him on the road with a good knock-out stinger under the chin, the other foreigner taking to his heels. Jack then, planting one foot with deliberation on the chast of hi 3 prostrate iusulter, took off his hat and sang in a loud voice a stave of " Rule Britannia." After whioh, putting hia hands together in an attitude of prayer, and looking devoutly upwards, he ej»culated solemnly, "God Save the Queen." Then, removing his foot from the foreign gentleman's tummy, he "stood clear," looked down at him for a moment, and pulling out a box of matohes carefully relit his pipe and leiusrely sauntered off, puffing away contentedly without once looking back.



Ambbrley, Deo 7, 1899 [Copy] Messrs Craighead And Bbbryman Ashburton, Dear Sirs, —Could yon make a suit at once. I am sorry I forgot to order it sooner. The last one is still wearing.
