This picture shows the Canadian troops departing from Quebec for the war in the Transvaal. The scene opens with the soldiers clad in campaign uniform, marching under the triumphal arch, cheered by thousands of spectators who are waving English flags. The troops next appear marching upon the wharf and finally embarking upon the transport Sardinia, which is to carry them to far away South Africa. BRITISH INFANTRY MARCHING TO BATTLE, Showing a regiment of British Troops, composed of Sheiks and Hindoostanis, marching to the battlefield and wheeling in company formation. Troops are commanded by English officers in campaign uniform. WHY JONES DISCHARGED HIS CLERKS. Great Hit. Two delinquent clerks are seated in a broker's office engaged in a game of cards. The boss suddenly appears walking through the corridor. The cards are thrown down in great haste and when the employer enters the office the clerks are apparently busily engaged in their work. The boss looks over the mail and then sits down behind an adjacent screen to enjoy the morning paper. A lady suddenly enters the office and upon inquiring for the broker, is shown behind the screen by one of the clerks. The broker and lady suddenly display considerable affection for each other, and are ardently making love when they are discovered by one of the clerks. He immediately calls the attention of the stenographer and they post themselves upon chairs and engage in looking over the top of the screen. One of the chairs is suddenly tipped over by the office boy and the clerks and screen fall upon the unsuspecting broker. He immediately becomes wrathful, throws off his coat and proceeds to clear the office. One of the clerks becomes frightened and jumps through the window into the corridor ; the other is unceremoniously fired through the door. This is an extremely humorous picture. WHY MRS. JONES GOT A DIVORCE. The scene opens by showing a pretty cook mixing bread in the kitchen. Jones comes in unexpectedly from a trip and carries a dress suit case. He inquires for his wife and is told by the cook that she is absent. Jones is hungry and asks for something to eat. The cook is very obliging and Jones becomes unruly, chuckles the cook under the chin. The cook puts her arms around Jones' neck and leaves finger imprints of flour on his back. This is where the trouble commences. Jones' wife suddenly appears and accuses Jones of making love to the cook. Jones denies it. She scornfully points to the finger marks on Jones' back. Jones still denies it. The wife becomes angry and seizes the pan of flour and turns it upside down on Jones' head, spoiling his best Sunday clothes. Jones escapes and the cook is discharged. This is a very funnv picture. FOR SALE. — Now ready, bound copies of The Phonoscope Vols. I and II. Price $2.00 per volume. Address Phonoscope Publishing Co., 4 East 14th Street.
