KITCHENER'S NIGHTMARE
STORMY VOYAGE TO NEAR EAST. Of the British Alinistcrs whoso duties call them to Paris for AVar Councils, some suffered severely from recent bad passages in tlie Channel, say;; the Sheffield Telegraph. Air Balfour emerges calm and debonnair after any crossing, but Air Asquith is less fortunate. Lord Kitchener, a.s might be expected, is an excellent sailor. On his journey to the Near East he encountered terrible weather. Tho captain of the liner one morning thought it well to go round to visit tlie important passengers under his care. He found them in varying states of discomfort, until he came to Lord Kitchener's stateroom, where tlie Secretary of State for AVar was discovered sitting calmly in Led surveying tlie evolutions of a pair of top boots floating about tlie cabin floor. It was still early, and the distinguished passenger owned that he awoke from a nightmare in which ho was being plunged once more into the -th of early childhood.
