The death of Allen Thorndyke Rice involves
more than q natural loss. AS United States minis
ter to Russia 1t is likely that he would have made
his mark, but promoter of literary work he had
already become distinguished. 1t is easy to find a
diplomatist of ability, but to find able an editor
Mr. Rice proved himself to be is different mat

the strongest publication not only in America but
perhaps inythe world. Mr.. Rice employed great
men to deal with great questions.

"but have intention of running for mayor.
Did you see what the morning paper said about

"No, sah"
"I'll show you"

put his pipe on the center table; but when he
looked for his pipe after reading the paragraph he
found that it was gone.
"What did l do with that piper" he asked.

"The pipe was smoking when you came in."
"You want smokin' no pipe den dat is didn'

fire, but the old negro, sitting screwed around on
his chair, was still unmindful of an approaching
calamity.
