~ GEORGE HORTON, poet, Jour-
nalist and diplomat, United
T States Consul to Athens, tells
~ these stories Of the East:
Several years before the pres
ent Car Nicholas came to the throne
he made an excursion to Greece. Mr..
Bakhmeteff, then secretary of the Rus
sian Legation in Athens, accompanied
his Royal Highness, acting as mentor
and guide.
While the royal party was encamped
in tents at Olympia a greedy peasant
furnished the luncheon. Imagine the
secretary's CONSERVATION when the rus
tic host presented a bill for $500 francs.
Mr.. Bakhmeteff found himself in the
following dilemma: He could not dis
pute the bill in the presence of His
Royal Highness. Things were supposed
to go on smoothly, and moreover, the
Grand Duke had given orders that all
bills were to be paid without protests.
On the other hand, the accounts were
regularly forwarded to the. Grand
Dukes father. Mr.. Bakhmeteff feared
that the Gear would never believe that
such bill had been presented. He
managed to call the peasant aside and
to say:
this? What is this $500 francs? What
does it mean?"
THE bill for luncheon, five people,
replied the peasant.
"Give me an itemized account of the
BILL" said Mr.. Bakhmeteff
The peasant did so. Among the items
was one for five chickens at 500 francs
apiece-2500 francs. Mr.. Bakhmeteff
choked with indignation.
Five hundred francs apiece for
chickens!" he cried. mo chickens in
the world were ever worth so mueh''
These chickens are worth that much
to me now" replied the host.
After a long argument the secretary
succeeded in securing a rebate Of 500
francs.
What was his disgust when his Royal
Highness, who was entirely uncon-
scious of this episode, gave the host on
parting a present of 20 napoleons and
expressed himself as highly satisfied
with the latter'S attention.
Arthur sherburne Hardy, author and
United States Minister to Persia, tells
Mr.. Horton that there is a good deal Of
scheming to secure the decoration be-
slowed by the Shah of Persia, not be-
cause it is a great honor but because
it is easily obtainable. One American
made a complete collection of the birds
of North America, which he sent to the
Shah.
The birds were turned over to the
Ruler of the Universe and the Son of
the Sun and graciously accepted, the
decoration was granted and the firman
announcing it was issued. Then Mr..
Hardy received a long letter from the
American stating that the decoration
had never been received.
Mr.. Hardy, being much interested,
Immediately inquired where he could
see the birds. He was informed that
they had been sent to the Ministry of
War. He went there Immediately and
was smilingly received.
"Oh, yes" said the Persian officer.
Eve had them here, but we learned
that they were prepared with arsenic
and We feared that some one might
cook and eat one of them. Therefore
we ordered that the collection be
burned
Further inquiry developed the fact
that the decoration had not been for
warded because the necessary $50 had
not been sent This delinquency has
since been made good, and the Ameri-
can is now the proud and happy pos
SCISSOR of the Order of the Sun.

causes. It has not
been many months since industrial and
commercial depression was widespread,
and both at home and abroad grave
doubts existed as to our financial abil-
ity, if not, in fact, as TO our financial
integrity. All this was rejected by
grave unrest.
Now there is an era of good feeling.
The tide of hope for the future runs
high, and confidence is master or the
situation. 4 marvellous change has
been wrought. Since the days of trial
our harVests have twice surpassed all
former yields, and our surplus stores
of grain have gone to feed the people
of other lands less bountiful The con-
junction Of unusually large harvests
with increased foreign demand has
brought better prices, and those who
work the soil have thus been raised to
a higher plane of living and happiness.
Excepting now and then some parucu-
lar industry is restricted by peculiar
conditions, not those of general appi-
cation, there is everywhere activity
which can only be measured by COM
parison with former prosperous years.
All the evidences point to the fact that
commerce, both domestic and foreign,
is expanding rapidly.
The Treasury Department will report
this year that New York has become
the greatest shipping port Of the world.
Is this not a wonderful achievement for
the republic which is but little over
a century old? London and Hamburg,
thrifty though they be, after centuries
of vast trade, must give way TO this
new mart of the west. New York Is
but one of our great cities. In the
nearby years others, now giving indi-
cation of a growing trade, will of neces-
sity respond to the constantly increas-
ing demands of commerce.
On our Western shores there yet re-
mains TO be developed a vast empire,
one which Will participate in the rich
trade of the countries bordering on the
Pacific. For our present commercial
and industrial strength we have abun-
dant reason to be thankful, yet more
so, indeed, for what the future holds in
store.
