THREE HEROES OF THE FLOOD

One Subscribed for His Own Medal Under
Embarrassing circumstances
From the Kansas City Journal Jake
Admire tells a very funny story about
a thing which happened at Guthrie the
other day. During the flood three
young men had been particularly gal
liant in rescuing people and the citizens
determined to present them with med
ais. A young man was started out to
collect subscriptions for this purpose,
and presently he came up to several
young men standing upon a corner,
among whom was Mccartney, one of
the men for whom the medals were to
be procured.
Boys, I'm collecting money to buy
medals for Mccartney, Willis and Platt
Will you help?"
"Yes," replied Mccartney, with q
wink to his companions, "but, while
am willing to help in getting medals
for Willis and Plat, l don't think Nc.
CARNEY deserves one. He simply fel
into the river and had to be helped
out"

Judge Jim Griggs was reminded of
a story by the passing of an electric
car, says the Atlanta Constitution. and
began: .

a county in my circuit-a fellow that !

was prosecuted for making away with
some money. Il was al ugly charge.

him. When l went down to court he

said: Tom, I've got a-dead case against

A Birds Sea Resort.

Naturalists consider it a wonderful
fact that the Bermuda Islands have
only seven native species of land
birds, while no less than a hundred
and twenty-eight other species pay
visits to the islands. Many Of these
visitors are birds which pass the sum.

the Bermuda Islands as a convenient
winter resort, thus initiating some o.
their human compatrlots. Even some
American bats follow the example Of
the birds by wintering in the Bermu,

the opinion that the best time for a
rich man to spend his money in doing
good to his fellow men is while he is

well worthy the imitation of his fell

rich men think they are never going

The welcome reception of the Har-

headquarters Of the Yale oarsmen, and
the invitation extended to him to in
spect the Yale crew at their practice,
may be regarded as the final blow to
the system of spying upon the secret
practice of crews matched for compe-
tition. This time-honored feature of
the training period has savored too
strongly of professionalism to be a fit

m~lnlStratiOn at washington TO WHICH
they are indebted for their appoint
ment, and then step aside to make way
for others who are as new to the duties
and to the responsibilities of their
mission as their predecessors at the
time of their nomination. Just at the
present moment the resignation OF all
those who have held Office abroad I'M
der President Cleveland are being
on file at the state department. while
President Mckinley Is busily engaged
in the task of selecting their success
ors, and as usual the question-which
has become a regular feature OF each
change of administration-has been re-
vived as to whether it would not be
more advantageous for the United
States to organize a diplomatic service
to appoint men trained in the profess
sion to the offices of ambassadors and
OF ministers, instead of adhering to the
present practice of nominating those
devoid of diplomatic experience.
Fifteen years spent in the foreign
service of a European power, during
the course of which I have enjoyed a
considerable amount of intercourse
with the diplomatic representatives OF
the United States in various portions of
the globe, may serve as an excuse for
Offering in print a personal opinion to
the effect that the interest of this
country abroad, far from being in any
way injuriously affected by the alb
sence of trained men at the head OF
the missions, are, on the contrary,
benefited thereby. And these views
are shared by most of the foreign Off
Gals. statesmen, politicians and court
dlgnitaries with whom l have had &C.
casion to discuss the matter. They hold
that this great commonwealth is far
more appropriately and efficiently rep
resented in the Old World by men OF
sufficient eminence at home to lead to
their selection from among the candi-
dates for the post by the president and
the senate of their native land than by
trained diplomats who would owe the
Office to seniority and promotion, the
major part of their lives having nee
essarily been spent out of America.
The distance between this country and
Europe is so great that even the most
patriotic citizen of the United States
gets out of touch with American ideas
after having lived for a few years
abroad. He becomes susceptible tt
local influence, and, losing the broad
American n of looking at things
gradually grows to view them as Eu,
ropeans do.
This is apparent in the correspond
ence of almost every American jour
nalist who goes abroad to represen
his paper, and it is only by ~frequen'
trips home that even the most bril-
liant of them can manage to suppress
the tendency to be unduly influence,
by the character of their surrounding
and by the atmosphere in which the,
live. If this is the case with news
paper men, it naturally follows that a,
American diplomat, who is daily an
hourly brought into contact with thos
foreign ~bureaucrats and officials t
whom etiquette and conventionalit
are a gospel and the ~concealment c
thought, as we'll as of sentiment,
creed, will sooner lose his America
breadth of view and freshness of min
than the American newspaper CORE
spondent.

The Canning Industry.

A few years since there was not a
canning factory west of the Allegheny
mountains, but now they dot the prai-
ries and plantations of the Mississip-
pi basin and are increasing year by
year at a rapid rate. There has been a
steady increase in the demand for
canned goods. Their consumption was
enormously increased by their low
cost-so low, indeed, at present that
there is no profit in the industry,
which shares the depression common
to business in general in recent years.
In prosperous times the trade is a
vast and profitable one and is only

POLICY.

Christian Empire is the controlling
force of Russian diplomacy. Midway
in this century Russia attacked Turkey
in a war for the recovery of the places
made memorable by Jesus Christ in
Palestine, as well as for the occupation
of Constantinople. She counted upon
Austrian support, since Russian troops
had succored the emperor in invading
Hungary and causing a revolution.
When France and England fought
against Russia in the Crimea, Austria
held aloof, and the cause of the Turk
triumphed with the help of his allies.
