TRUTH BEATS DIPLOMACY.
Trap Into Which the Latter Would
Have Led Dupuy de LONE.

The late Senator Plumb. Of Kansas. once
described diplomacy as "gilded lying"

have helped him out of the scrape When
the letter was first read liz Washington
there was general skep.icism. Several pa
pers coupled publication with the assertion
that q was a forgery, and even quoted
the minister SO branding K. But the
surprise 10 Mr.. Dupuy de Lone came
when the telegram boy brought 10 the le-

was amazed He cahled back rs Il pos
slble you did not receive such q lefter?''
Canaejas replied: Il never received such
letter from you NOT heard you express
such sentiments" Then was presented 20
pupuy the possibility OF denying that he
had written the letter. and declaring that
any thing which might be presented puv-
porting 20 be the original was a forgery
Up - that time the minister had refused
10 admit 20 his friends that he had writ
ten the letter. He had ua knowledge Of
the wherea Bouts of the original Should
he put a bold face on the matter. and

A Handsome Young Woman Finds
After Contracting . Dentist Debt

handsome young woman of the blonde
persuasion. giving her name as Mrs. Mary
Bailey. called at police headquarters sew
erai days ago in company with a promi-
neRt dentist, to enlist the assistance of
the police in recovering 500 which, she
thought had been stolen from her at the
postoffice while she was waiting TO get
her mail. She said that she was living at
the Vendome house on First avenue
After she left the station a detective
was sent to the Vendome to see II she had
mislaid her money, as is often the case.
The detective told the people at the hotel
that he desired 10 see Mrs Bailey on bust

she thought and thought. and finally she
recollected that she had been at the post
office to get her mail and had stood in

APFRECIATED.-If certain stories are
true. surely, in the interests of humor,
they ought to be.
1t is related by Miss Selfridge, in
The Outlook, that when Count Ii
Hung Chang was in London, he placed
a splendid wreath on the monument of
General Gordon, "Chinese Gordon" "
who had been his companion in arms
years before. A relative of Gordon
was so deeply moved by this act, that
he sent to the Chinese statesman with
his compliments a specially fine bull
terrier, the winner of several prizes,
and remarkable specimen of canine
birth and breeding. The following
letter was received in acknowledge
ment:
MY DEAR GORDON While tender
ing my best thanks for sending me
your dog, beg to say that, as for my
self, l have long since given up the
practice of eating dogs flesh but my
attendants, to whom I handed the
creature, tell me they never tasted
anything so nice.-Your devoted, L.

AS IT LOOKED TO VOLUNTEER
Some of the volunteer soldiers who
were put under the command of regu-
lar army officers soon after the begin
ming of the Cuban war found it little
hard to learn all the lingo of the camps.
An officer sent young volunteer Or
derly to requisition at the quartermas-
ter's stores some tentage, and when he
returned, questioned him:
"Orderly ?"
ayes, SIR"
"Did you gel the tents I ordered
ayes, SIR"
"Did you get the wall tents?"
ayes, SIR"
"And the A tents?"
ayes, SIR"
"And the dog tents?"
ayes, SIR"
"And the flies for the wall tents?"
ssFlies, sir? No, STRIP
"What? Now why didn't you get
the flies ?"
The soldier saluted respectfully; at
any rate, he combined salute and a
motion which brushed away cloud
of flies from his nose.
"Camp is full of them, sir !" he an
swered.
