The Salvador Government Makes Ample
Apology For Recent Occurrences.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Late Friday
afternoon the State Department re-
ceived from Minister Miner a telegram
from La Libertad saying that during a
battle in the city of San Salvador the
forces of the Provisional Government
seized the consulate in that city, hauled
down the flag and damaged property.
The department the same day instructed
Mr.. Miner by telegraph to demand full
reparation of Salvador, the reinstate-
ment of and protection of the Consul
and to see that all rights of the United
States and its citizens were observed.
Last night the department received
word from Mr.. Miner informing it that
the Provisional Government of Salvador
had hoisted our flag over the United
States consulate the day before, at the
same time saluting it with twenty-one
guns, and that the Consul had been re-
instated in Office and the rights Of the
United States and its citizens were
guaranteed.

MONEY IN HUMOR.

Bill Nye Thinks 1t Pays to Be Funny If the
Fun Be Genuine.
Seriously, it does pay to be funny if
it be spontaneous. Funny business
which inspires commiseratiOn is not val
liable.
The growing demand-not only in
America, but e1sewhere-for American
humor, is good sign. A little we'll
chosen humor is the saltpetre for many
an otherwise dull publication, and the
humorous lecturer has lifted out of the
hole many local bureau that had
dipped little too deeply into science.
America wa~ats more and better humor
each year. Her people are so busy that
a gentle, moral laugh is absolutely
necessary. Besides, humor does much
in good-natured way to make folly
appear foolish and polish off the wicked
fraud who flourishes only while he can
remain dignified.
Therefore, it pays to be funny.
1 need not quote prices to prove this
or compare the relative quotations on
poems and jokes to show that Laugh
and your pocket-book laughs with YOU
is good enough to go into copy-book.
The only sorrowful feature connected
with this growing demand for fun is
that it has stimulated the fungus growth
of a kind of humor which would wiring
tears from a door-knob.
Nothing can be sadder than the tailor
made jokes turned out by man who
argues that, as he has written success
fully on the diseases of horses, he can
also, by turning his attention that way,
write jokes or household recipes or
chess problems, or work the press or
wash the rollers with equal fluency. =
Let every man, so nearly as he is able,
use to advantage the talent that God
has given him, instead of trying for a
whole lifetime to convince the Creator

There has been from the very hQin-

nation desire to present Bible to the
King. The time came seemingly. The
Minister of the Left vas given Q copy 70

told his Msjesty whst it Was and then,
in the presence of the King, to show hio
disapproval end contempt, tore it to

Prince Ming Yong TX ives the first
Corean Ambassador to the United States
During his visit to Che United States Q
distinguished gentlemen from Ken
lucky, high in social and official life,
presented the Prince, os the chief prod
uct of that State, high brand of old
bourbon. Some was also sent to the
King.
The Christians of Kentucky naturally
felt that whisky was not the only prod
uct of their State and resented the un-
warranted act of the self-appointed rep
resentative. They wanted to show that
they had other and better things than
bourbon.
They had to wait several years, but
their opportunity came. Corea sent her
first representative to Washington in
the winter of 1887. He was received as
the Minister of any other country, and
was deeply impressed with our Chris
tan civilization. Instead of finding the
scum of society believers and attend
ants upon the services of the church, he
found the highest officials devout wor-
shippers. Seeing was believing. The
preconceived notions of the Coreans had
to be modified. Christianity was not de-
grading and only fit for coolies, as they
were taught at home, but refining and
ennobling and adapted to the wealthy
and Intelligent as we'll as to the poor
and ignorant. The change that came
over the embassy was gradual, not in
Simultaneous.
Bibles and churches were found a part
and parcel of our civilization, and not a
mere accident. When our friends in
Kentucky wrote to the foreign secretary
of the legation asking his aid to show
Corea that their State produced some
thing else besides whisky, and the mat
ter was presented to the Minister. the
proposition was looked upon with favor
and he accepted the task of presenting
Bible to his King; Three Bibles, one
for the King of Corea, one for the Min

turned suddenly upoc the doctor so many times,
only to turn away suddenly, that DR.. John,
observing his pale face and agitation, was

face and his courage fed. How could he tell a

on his track, that prison gates yawned before

to ride around and around in her head IN
repeated stauzas without blank page to

The poetry about Mrs. Bope's baby
was written on the very last pink scrap.
Marietta wished ink could be wiped of {.
But while she was ruling she recollected
that Mrs. Bope had limited, at some pay
ment for any piece of writing which
Marietta might bring her. 1t was not
pleasant to do poetry to order, yet she
had enjoyed writing about that dear
dead baby, only she did not want to read
it to the mother.
The force of her promise and the
chance of Mrs. Bope's having writing
paper to use as currency took sudden
hold of her.
She opened the trunk and took out the
pink baby poem, and hid it in her pocket
with the loving shame of authors, and
went down stars to ask if she might 20
to Mrs. Bope's.
Grandmother Brittles and the two
young aunts were sitting straight in their
chairs, making over muslin gowns which
had to be handled carefully. Sometimes
Marietta really wished she was not q
Brittles. 1t seemed SO hard TO live in
the largest house in town on the smallest
income. If she were one of the Smith or
Burden she could be cheerfully earning
money to buy paper with. But the Brit
theses were old stock, and great people in
their neighborhood. A Brittles would be
a pattern of gentIlity if he starved at it i.
The grandm other eaid Marietta might
go to Mrs. Bope's, and her aunts told
her not to run her shoes over and cut the
uppers. She could walk instead of run
ning-which strained leather and started
the pegs-and she must not take her
sunbonnet off to slap any schoolmate
with 1t. She could play tag with her
naked hand. A child's hands are
tougher than much washed calico.
Marietta went TO Mrs. Bope's without
any desire to run. She usually liked to
play that she was an Indian princess
rushing on fleet moccasins through her
native woods, and there was not girl in
school swifter on foot. But she stood at
Mrs. Bope's gate, smelling the sweet
briar which climbed the house, filled
with aching dread that she could not
herself understand.
Marietta never asked anybody to lis
ten to n hat she had written. She
thought of herself as two little girls, one
within the other. The outside girl was
romping, hearty creature, very we'll

al don't want any thing, Mrs. Bope, -
said Marietta, looking up abashed and
pink from her deep sur-bonnet.
So with mothers blessing on her she
again stepped paperless into the outdoor
world.
"But how am going to get any paper
to write the knight and the Lady on2'
she whispered TO the fat, wooded hori-
zon, the village streets aud the summer
sky.
One hand sought in the depths OF her
pocket her last bit of stubby lead pencil.
Marietta knew how to make ink last in-
definitely By doctoring IL with rainwater
and SCOT. OF course its blackness faded
out to mud color, but brown ink is not
bad when you are used to 1t. Her faith
er's gold zen was hers TO use US she
pleased, though her grandmother often
desired her to remember that it was to
last her u lifetime.

Knight and the Lady on the side Of our

the place. ButIf any of the boys saw
me doing 1t they might learn 1t and shout
the lines at me on the street,
"where are you going, Marietta?"
spoke piping voice behind her, and she
knew before turning that Lucy Torreuce
was running TO catch up with her. Lucy
was a weak-eyed little creature, with
white skin which never took wholesome
tan. Marietta was strong yokemate,
who pulled Lucy through when the
blackman chased them, or kept her from
being flung off into space when the whole
school played crack-the-whip.
al amt gong anywhere, answered
Marietta, putting an arm around Lucy
as Lucy put an arm around her. 1t was
so natural for two little girls to fail into
a skipping step that she forgot at first
about saving her shoe leather. She
could be happy with playmate in spite
Of the paper famine. She said nothing
to Lucy about that; for nobody under
stands how necessary writing paper is
except the person who is hungry for it.
"My mother said [ might go to your
