LOST.—Several seats. Also a Division. Answers to the name of Snap.—Apply A. J. B., House of Commons, S.W.

PHILANTHROPIC GENTLEMAN is anxious to send superannuated and over­worked Government to the Country. Liberal support required. Will all kind friends lend their aid to this excellent scheme.—Apply C–B, Opposition Benches, S.W.

NEW MUSIC! NEW MUSIC! NEW MUSIC!—‘Hold the Fort,’ sung nightly at Westminster Palace of Varieties by Mr. Arthur Balfour; ‘I do all the dirty work,’ sung by Mr. Redmond; and ‘We’ll never come back no more, boys,’ sung by the Cabinet.

WANTED.—Gentlemanly man to act as Foreign Secretary in next Liberal Government. Must dress well on and off. References required. No statesmanlike ability required, but perfect breeding essential. An Earl preferred.

PERSONAL.—‘If the Russian Gentleman who has been having trouble at home will meet me on strict Q.T., I will see what I can do for him.’—William, Imperator.

PEACE WHILE YOU WAIT. —Mr. T. Roosevelt begs to inform his patrons that he has a large supply of Tact and solicits orders. Bellicose nations are strongly advised to give Mr. Roosevelt a trial before applying elsewhere.—Telegraphic address, Ted, Washington.

WHY GO ELSEWHERE TO BE CHEATED?—Come to us. Army Contractors, S. Africa. Perfect satisfaction (to ourselves) guaranteed.

PEOPLE who have carelessly built piers and bridges in and over the River Thames are respectfully desired to remove the same at an early date as possible, as they get in the way of the L.C.C. steamboats, causing much annoyance.

WHY MELT?—The weather’s warm, but Smith’s Ice Cream will keep you cool. A Government fed on our ice cream could never dissolve.
