homes for his ministers. 1t is quite the
rule for him to go upon some empty street,
hire room or two and thus modestly Of
feed try to keep up his pompous end in the
European courts.
There is no particular reason why he
should locate at 1913 Victoria street, save
that in the long row of sparsely occupied
buildings he could find an anxious land
lord and low figures. The location is
trif1e too far away TO be within the shadow
of the hundred towers of Westminster.
place dear to Americans because a little
bust of Longfellow, among the big statues
of England's greatest dead, give them
recognition. Around the corner is old
Christ church. weatherbeaten and black
ened by endless fog and drizzle and almost
hidden in banks of clinging ivy. The cid
churchyard, with its leveled stones and
patches of withered stalks of last years
flowers, is sweetly melancholy spot, 50
quiet and solemn in comparison with the
busy street and its thousand jesting, yell
ing cabbies and heavy traffic.
1t is difficult to find the legation. The
policeman on the beat had never heard of
it, and positively told me it was not in his
neighborhood. He was like all his couh
trymen, accustomed to associate govern
mental matters with ostentation and dis
play. With their vague and romantic idea
of the United States and its tremendous
wealth, they very naturally suppose that
somewhere in big London the legation is
housed in some stupendous palace, with
appropriate retinue and trappings- Thus
they have seen the embassies of the great
powers established, and they smile de
risively as they pass the American fiat and
see Uncle Sans single out, in the way OF
a sign foot long:

their influence LETT among the English, and
Hon. Robert T. Lincoln mas proved no ex-
ception to this rule. While he has not
shown as brilliantly in literary circles as
did his predecessor, James Russell Lowell,
yet his dignified personality has made him
a man much sought after Besides this he
is the son OF a great man-one OF the very
few American leaders with whose history
the average EnglishInan is at all familiar,
and in no country does blood and lineage

motions TO high places. But Mr.. Lincoln
has risen TO high esteem abroad, and when
his family was deeply afflicted the express
sions of sympathy from the court and
diplomats have only been equaIed recent
IL by those On the occasion OF the death or
the Duke Of Clarence.

it is the minister has made himself feIJ,
and when he resigns he will be praised,
not because he wrote literature, but be
cause he was man of ready conversation,
agreeable front and entertaining personal
ity. in addition TO his skilled ability as
diplomat He is a typical American,
whom nothing changes and upon whom
honors rest with grace, and no minister
ever won the English heart more thorough
~ than he has.
Mr. Lincoln is Harvard man. He
went there from Springfield, His, where
he was born forty-nine years ago, and
graduated in the class Of 1864. During the
war he was aid-de-camp on the stall OF
General Grant. When the fight was over
he began studying law in Chicago, where
now the Office door bears his name and
where he will resume practice upon his re-
turn. President Garfield made him score
tary of war; end by strange coincidence
he stood at the bedside of both the aSSas-
sinated presidents.
The working man in the legation is Sec
rotary White. He originally came from
Baltimore, and twelve years residence In
London as the best man for three consecu-

him there is only one country on earth, and
that ones name begins with q and S.

THE BIRTHDAY or Jones.
Els Wife Prepares Some Little Birthday
Gifts for Him.

Gifts for Him.
"Jeptha," said Mrs. Jones in a little,
waydown voice that sounded soft and
squraky, to-day is your birthday, and you
know l always give you a birthday pres
emit"
Yes, Maria, answered Mr.. Jones hasti-
ly, but you needn't mind any this year
still have the box OF cigars that you gave
me on my last anniversary"
There was q cake Of French soap, too,
and shaving mug, Jeptha," insisted Nrs
j.. in a hurt tone.
'Oh, yes. Eve used the soap every day,
and its shadow hasn't grown less yet as l
can see. The shaving mug broke-acci-
dentaily Of course"
oh, of COURSE" chirped Mrs Jones.
'Iou don't suppose | thought you broke
1t on purpose? Well, dear, this time I've
bought you-now guess"
Slippers. suspenders, footrest. smok-
ing jacket. Summer robe, manicure set
oh, no, no" interrupted Mrs. Jones 81
knew you would never guess. Look there,
Jeptha," and Mrs. Jones laid in Mr. Jones
unwilling arms "A package Of something
metallic and long. narrow box.
He opened the box first and dragged out
four long strips OF silk, lined and wadded,
each of a different color.
What are these. M&ria2" asked the IN
happy man, moved by q premonitiQn of woe.
''Four-in-hands / made them myself.
You can wear one at time or all four at
once, just as you like. Amt they awfully
Hweet*"
But, good heavens, Maria, they are
made OF womcn's goods! Men don't wear
that kind Of stuff-no man living could tie
one" said Jones, mentally wondering if
one Of them would bear his wretched
weight
'Oh, they'll do" said Mrs. Jones cheer
fully. You are too particular, JeHtha,
dear. Now undo the package" Ana she
retreated toward the door in such Il man
ner that Jones wondered whether it were
dynamite.
But she only did that to get better van
tage ground from which TO observe his de
light when he saw the piece de resistance
of his natal day
1t opened up well, as a three leaved shaw
ing mirror with a patent attachment
which would enable a nervous man To
shave himself.
well, that is quite a scheme" said
Jones complacently; you've hit it this
time, Maria. How does it work."
Why. you put this self ad justing shelf
under your chin, and this strap over your
head, and that brings the mirror around
YOUR face so that you can see both sides at
once. and Of course the razor is inside in
YOUR hand. and you fasten this catch and
it fits as snug as a helmet. Great inven-
ton, isn't it"
At that moment the doorbell rang and
Mrs. Jones was called out OF the room to
see company.
Jones studied himself and thought he
was pretty good looking man. He
mapped out dig-raTn for MS next shave
and examined a new mole that appeared
in constellation under hi, left ear. Then
he began to Gsar~uire and concluded to lay
aside the ad Unstable mirror.

to her caller. when "A strange noise was
