WALLER GOES FREE
Continued From First Page)

This position of the French govern
| ment-that claims OF aliens cognizable
| by the courts Of foreign country can
not be made the subject OF diplomatic
Intervention unless there has been
palpable failure of justice after all To-
cal judicial remedies have been ex-
hausted-is one upon which this gov
eminent has often insisted and of
which il has often availed itself. Its
applicability 10 the case Of Waller was
| confirmed by the opinion of the emf
nent French lawyer laready referred
10, by whom il was pointed out that
in respect of remedies in the French
tribunals, an alien was in all respects
on the same footing as a Frenchman
except that the alien must furnish Sc
curity for costs. As our ambassador
at Paris, under instructions from this
department, could easily arrange TO
furnish such security, should Waller
desire 10 resort to the French courts,
there seemed 10 be nothing in Walters
charges of ill-treatment while on his
way 10 France which stood in the way
Of an Acceptance Of the offer Of the
French government for his immediate
release.
Accordingly, upon the request Of
Waller, our ambassador at Paris will
be instructed 10 arrange for furnishing
security for the costs Of any suit be-
fore the French courts which Waller
may be advised that the facts Of his
case VIII warrant. Mr.. Eustes has al
ready been instructed 10 supply him
with the means of transportation 10
the United States, should he desire 10
come here.
1T may be added IS part OF the his
tory of the case, that the family Of
Waller. being left in destitute circum-
stances, the department instructed its
representatives 10 provide for their
persent necessities and furnish them
means of getting TO the United States
That relief was accordingly extended
70 them, the charges 10 which this
government has thus far been put
amounting to 81, S17.17."

HIS FAITH WAS GONE.
The Bear Story Worked Very Well Until
the Boys Eyes Were Opened.

the Boys Eyes Were Opened.
Mothers who live in the extreme west
ern part of the city do not permit their
children to play about the sand pits that
abound in that locality because two
children were killed by sand bank
caving in upon them. Notwithstanding
the stern parental prohibition, many Of
the little fellows play in the sand as
much as ever. One mother, who has a
precocious youngster of about years Of
age, forbade the little fellow going near
the treacherous sand banks, telling him
that great big, black bears lived there,
and that they would eat him alive.
One day he met a crowd Of his COM
panions on their way TO the sand bank.
They asked him to accompany them.
With childlike simplicity he told them
that he would not 60 for fear Of the big
black bears They laughed at him and
told him that there were no bears near
the playground, but he held out bravely
until he saw his Sunday school teacher
approaching. 1t was agreed TO leave the
whole matter to her. She, not knowing
the circumstances, said that there were
no bears in the neighborhood- Bursting
into tears, the little fellow ran home to
his mother.
He related the whole story and how
his Sunday school teacher had said that
whoever had told him that there were
bears in the sand bank had told him a
STORY" and that it was wicked so tell
"stories. The mother reproached her
self bitterly for having deceived the lit
tle fellow and frankly admitted that she
had said there were bears at the sand
bank in order 10 frighten him.
1T is wrong 10 tell Stories she
continued, and now let's get down On
our knees and tell God al about it and
ask him 70 forgive Is.
The little fellow consented, and they
had knelt down when he suddenly raised
his tear stained face and said:
Mamma s'pose l tell him You
might tell it wrong. Louisville Coa-
