Drawing by Held BANQUET OF THE INTERNATIONAL EUGENICAL SOCIETY.-AT THE SPEAKER'S TABLE N the November CENTURY, in Lighter Vein, there appeared a squib upon what we took to be some recent editorials by Colonel Henry Watterson. The editorials in question were, it now appears, not from Colonel Watterson's pen, so that a humble, though tardy, apology is certainly in order. We tender it We tender it cheerfully to our old and trusted friend. One of our baser insinuations was to the effect that Marse Henry's English style tended at times to be a trifle catachrestic. It was this charge, we suspect, that prompted the colonel to write us an outraged but good-natured letter from France, a portion of which we are making bold to print. He says: "Gentlemen: "What 'catachrestic' may mean or im AN ABJECT APOLOGY TO COLONEL WATTERSON ply, I confess myself at a loss to knowperhaps nothing worse than many loose accusations to which a lifetime of conflict, more or less rough-and-tumble, has somewhat hardened my sensibilities." "I never minded 'horse-thief.' I even in time grew used to the card-playing pictures and the mint-julep jokes. They were the penalties fixed upon the atrocious crime of being a Kentuckian. But, to be charged with the corrupt use of my oracular tongue-with fouling the limpid depths of the well of English undefileddoes stick in my gizzard. I appeal to your sense of justice. Do me the favor to massacre the culprit; give him a first-class funeral, and, after sending the bills to me,bid him rise from the dead and sin no more! "Sincerely, HENRY WATTERSON."

The immense popularity enjoyed by BAKER'S COCOA and CHOCOLATE preparations, recognized as the standards for purity and excellence, have tempted unscrupulous dealers and manufacturers to attempt to trade upon the name "Baker" and to substitute goods of inferior quality when ours are called for.
