Her Diplomacy.
Washington Star.
Again it is a Washington girl.

AGAIN IL is a washington girl.
This time she appears as an angel of
economy to a young man, who needs that
kind of angelic administration about as
much as any other young man in the cap
ital city, and she is just as successful as
if she were tramp}ing him under her scorn-
full heel and making him feel how utterly
helpless man is in conflict with the ire
sistible.
by jove," he was saying, this sort of
thing is simply intolerable.'
What sort of thing?" she inquired, with
admirable poise.
why, 1 have just had to pay a messen-
ger boy forty cents to deliver a note up
town for me, and he was gone less than
half an hour. 1t would be cheaper to have
hired cab and horse and driver and still
cheaper TO have sent it by mail under a
special delivery stamp.
What the note?" she asked, woman
like, before she thought.
"A response to an invitation to dinner.
Forty cents is cheap for a good dinner"
she smiled.
But 1 couldn't 60" he walled. ct was
a declination, and the forty cents on top
of that. Really, though, this messenger
service is a rank imposition and should not
ample, with short distances at ten cents
of fifteen cents. The convenience is easily
worth that, but more than that is plain
extortion and the greed of monopolies."
You talk like a Populist," she re-
SpOnded, and you have my sympathy.
You are the more entitled to it because
you don't seem to know any better Now,
why aren't you as bright as man [ know
who hasn't any more money than you
have? When he has a note or a book to
send to a girl he doesn't waste 40 cents on
a grinding monopoly--oh, that's what it
is" she laughed she noted his look of
SURPRISE 1--WE have a call in our house and
] am compelled to use it, sometimes-but
he does a much better thing. He just adds
10 cents to his 40, slips around to the flor
lists, orders fifty cents worth of violets
sent to the girl, puts the note in with the
flowers and there you are. See? Only 10
cents olh and think how much in-for girls
do love flowers, even fifty cents worth"
The young man began gasping for air.
Or she went right on, IF it is the sea-
son when flowers are more expensive than
messenger service. just substitute candy
for flowers. You can get something per
fectly lovely for 60 cents, and to add q
book or a pleasant note TO it makes it well
worth the girls kindest thought and your
20 cents extra. Now is the plan clear to
your stupid 0rlin?'
Whether it was or not, the young woman
that very afternoon received a delightful
note of thanks for valuable information,
accompanied by a fifty-cent bunch of vio-
lets from a well-known florist.

CHAUEcEY N. pEPEw.

John w. Thomas, president Of the
centennial exposition, presided and in
felicitous address presented the statue
to the university, thanking the citizens
for their gift and recognition of an in
stitution which is doing a great work
for the south.
The principal speaker was Chancey
NJ. Depew, who said among other things:
1.-The American commonwealth is built
upon the individual. 1t recognizes
neither classes nor masses. That all
men are created equal; that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights that among us these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness' are the words of the immortal
declaration OF independence. These
truths are not only the language Of
American liberty. They are interviewer
into the character of American citizens,
who are taught from childhood and re-
ceive by Inheritance the lesson that
TO secure these rights governments are
instituted among men, deriving their
Just powers from the consent of the
governed We have thus become a
nation of self made men. We live under
just and equal laws, and all avenues for
a career are open. 1t has become
proverb that there are but three gen.
erations from shirt sleve To shirt Sieve
from the necessity to work 70 work from
necessity.*s+
"If the result of our system is the
survival of the fittest, experience has
demonstrated that it is possible to so
temper the doctrine that the efforts or
the born leaders OF industry shall uplift
whole communities TO greater happiness
and to better standards of living by
originating enterprises and develop
ments which give to thousands new oc-
cupations and larger returns for their
labor"
