The French Claim, to “ Control.”
French journalists and politicians express great indignation at
the refusal of the British Government to re-establish the Dual

European question, with regard to a country existing with a Govern-
ment and a Legislature at sixes-and-sevens, in a condition of continu-

plural—it may be possible to place France under ?
I, I, Sir!
(A New Adaptation of Very Old Doggerel.)
There was a Social Journalist who thought that he’d be wise,
He went through his “smart article,” and scratched out all his
“I’s.”

Appropriate.—It is suggested that the electric pen should be
called “The pen of the ready Reuter! ”

about the upper classes), she said it reminded her of the old proverb,
1 “ Distilled waters run deep.”
