AS entered the fort wall of terror
went up from the wounded men. I
went up to the officer in command,
and, looking him straight in the eye,
said IN French, You are my pris-
.oner.' He threw up his hands and
SAID, DO with ne as you please .
It is too bad that Mr.. Hearst, who
happens to be Mr.. Creelman's en-
ployer, was at that moment under
fire in the center of the army. Had
he seen Mr.. Creelman in the act of
looking the Spanish officer straight in
the eye, and witnessed the surrender
that followed, he would have raised
the salary of his correspondent on, or
at least near, the spot.
Mr.. Creelman IS now on a peace
footing, but we shall have to watch
him closely lest he precipltate and
carry on another war. This is all
the more necessary because he leayes
the impression that he still retains
the finest pair of reyolvers in the
army, presented to him by Mr..
Hearst, whom he leaves under fire in
the center of the army.

Mr.. WI, the Chinese Minister, was
a guest at the last Gridiron Club din
ner in Washington, and was at first
somewhat puzzled regarding the fun
that always goes with a Gridiron din
ner. When one Of the members STOP
ped the winner to complain Of the soup
and the President demanded that the
soup pot be brought in, to see what
gave the peculiar taste complained of,
Mr.. Wu looked serious and inquired OF
his neighbor if the trouble could not be
adjusted without breaking up the din
ner. He saw the hotel proprietor
brought in, and then the soup pot, and
he expected to see trouble over the
dinner before it was served But
when the President Of the club fished
out civil service reform bill from
the pot as the source of the complaint
against the soup, the Chinese Minister
saw the humor of the affair and from
that moment there was no guest who
caught on quicker or enjoyed more
the jokes of the Gridiron than did he.
