Ir has long been thought 10y people
who travel extensively in Europe that
an American minister should wear u
cooked hat knee brooches. sword
and n lot OF gold lace. 1t is held that
not being an ambassador he is forced
to take rank behind even the anbas-
sadorial representative OF the negro
republic OF Hayti Ambassadors are
the representatives OF kings emper-
ors and czars. Our representatives
abroad are ministers and consuls.

The colonial fever has seized all the
German nation so thoroughly that
even schoolboys arc infected with it.
John Walker n boy of II. was seized
with tho fever and ran away from his
home in the city OF Bremen. He trav.
eled on foot southwestward. saw the
cities along the Rhine and crossed the
river going westward TO Paris. From
there he wandered south all the way
through France, crossed the vast
mountain range OF the Pyrenees in
the cold season. when the whole land
scape is covered with ice and deep
snow. and arrived in Barcelona in
Spain toward New Year The cold in
the mountains had caused him
so much suffering that he was
rather afraid. with his tattered
clothing that failed to cover his
nakedness to continue his jour
uey at random. He went to the
German consul and made close in
qu ries concerning the best road to go
to CAMERON. which Is German col
uorth OF the British possessions. The
queer inquiry regarding road for
walking across the Desert of Sahara
was too much for the consul. He ex-
amined the little tramp and afterward
pretended that he would show him the
road and took him to the steamer
bound for Hamburg in Germany. He
gave him in custody to the captain,
who took him back to the fatherland.
Johns parents had believed him dead
and were overjoyed to have him back.
He said he was sorry to be compelled
10 go to school again. according to
the Chicago Herald but as soon as he
had finished his studies he would
most assuredly leave again for distant

HEN the American people are
made to realize the fact that their
only hope OF getting ahead in the
world is to work hard. with patience
and economy, then honesty will be
the rule and dishonesty the exception.
The leading cause Of the prevailing
dishonesty is the notion entertained
by many that they can try their luck
in speculative gambling with a
reasonable prospect of success. When
a man believes this he is in danger OF
rIsking all the money he can lay his
