HUMAN NATURE STUDIES
De Gallifet's Ruse.

General dc Gallifet, the French minis
ter of war, and the most eminent living
French general, possesses presence OF
mind in high degree. During the War
of the Commune, Gallifet once found HIM
self, at the Bergeries bridge, Paris, sur
rounded ON three sides by the insurgent
national guard. He was accompanied by
a lieutenant only, Bernard d d'Harcourt by
name, relates the Youths Companion
Escape was impossible. Three thousand
national guards had their guns aimed at
the two officers.
"We shall never get out Of this alive"
said the lieutenant
We'll" said Gallifet, perhaps not, but
l think we shall. Follow me!'
Gallifet proceeded to ride at a slow trot
directly toward the insurgents. Presently
the Communist commander, man In a
white beard, evidently rot a soldier by
occupation, stepped out and called:
what do you want!"
Then Gallifet proceeded to make a
speech in a somewhat grandiloquent man.
ner. lie pretended that he had come
from President Thiers.
"Frenchman," he said, 'listen! Shall it
be peace or war between Paris and Ner-
salles? Shall we not have peace? Lay
down your arms and all will be we'll Il
you persist, it Is war to the death!
FrenChmen, choOse!
A great ClamOr rose among the insur-
gents. The Communist commander spoke
up.
Go back TO President Thiers," he
shouted, land tell him 1t is war;
81 go! said Gallifet. He wanted moth
ing better, as his mission" was a pure
accident, and he was as good as a pris-
oner. He and the lieutenant rode away.
The lieutenant's horse struck into a gall
lOp.
Hold on!' called Gallifet. Don't let
them think we are in a hurry-they'll
know what's up!"
So the two officers walked their horses
out of range of the insurgent rifles, and
rejoined their command. Two months
later the Eray-bearded Communist COM
mander fell into the hands Of Gallifet,
who gave him his liberty in agreeable re-
membrance of the incident.

Increasing a Salary.

"I heard a quaint little story the other
day about Coils Il. Huntington" said q
New Orleans railroad man, recently, to
the Times Democrat at may or may
not be true but anyhow it's picturesque
enough To bear retelling A few years
ago, according to the yarn, his private
secretary, Mr.. Miles, struck him gently
for an increase of salary. DO you need
any more money? asked Huntington,
thoughtfully. NO, sir, / don't exactly
need it, replied Mr. Miles, but still, I'd
be glad to he getting a little more 'Ah,
hum m-m,' unused his employer, can you
get along without the advance for the
present% oh, yes answered the secra-
tary, i guess So and the matter was
dropped
"a couple of years later a new boy ap-
peared at the Miles home, and the sec
retary thought the time propitious to re-
new the application. why, my dear sir, ;
said Mr. Huntington, when he heard him
through, i raised your salary when you
asked me before Il never heard any,
thing about it, said the secretary in
amaement. Probably not returned Mr..
Huntington, in fact ! used that money
to buy a piece of property for you. I'd
just let it stand for a while If / were
YOU Mr. Miles thanked him warmly and
retired, somewhat mystilied.
Recently Mr.. Huntington called him
into his private office. by the way,
Miles he said, L have sold that real es-
tate of yours at n pretty good advance.

section purchased by the railway king as
an investment for his wife, and he is

Attempting Too Much.

T HERE Is some variation in
published reports as TO the
n exact language used by Ad-
miral Dewey in speaking IF
ieneral Otis; and this variation prob
bly, reflects the conscious or uncon-
ciOus bias of the interviewer. But
here is substantial agreement among
il the men who have talked with the
dmiral, including those who possess
is fullest confidence and who would
.ot under any consideration make pub
lc an inaccurate report of his opin-
ons to the effect that General Otis
ias attempted to do too much; that
ne has, with wholly conscientious and
honorable motives, taken upon him
self burdens and responsibilities and
labors so numerous and difficult that
the job commands the man, instead Of
the man commanding the job. Exam
pies of this mistaken conception of duty
are numerous in all walks of life, ana
they illustrate the difference between
executive genius and the devoted spirit
Of willingness to work which lacks the
lntuitive power of knowing jus how
10 do work to the best practical ad-
vantage.

OF MANUFACTURES
FROM THE UNITED STATES.

1t will be recalled by those who are
again seeking to bring forward free
trade arguments that during the dis
cussion of the Dingley tariff bill Sena-
tor Vest and other Democrats claimed
that the enactment of protective legis-
lation would damage American trade
abroad and result in a reduction of
purchases by other countries. That
this assertion was just the. opposite of
the truth is proven by the fact that
our exports have increased greatly
since the enactment of the Dingley law.
The following table shows the total eX-
ports from the United States in each
year during the decade. 1t will be seen
that under the two years under the
Dinglcy act the expectations have been
about 50 per cent. greater than in the
first two years under the WilsJ1 act.

enal export year, 1892:

One of Judge Daly's Stories.

The late Chief Justice DAILY was very
fond of telling stories, says the New
York Sun, which adds that one of his
favOrites related to AN experience he
had in the Academy of Music many years
ago lie had gone there to attend a lee
ture on higher mathematics. There was
a lecture on Ireland being delivered in
Nilsson Hall, next door. The judge
would rather have been at the Irish lee
ture, but he wasn't free to follow his
inclinations. His attention wavered and
settled on an elderly couple in front OF
him. They We're evidently lTish-as Irish
as a piece Of the old sod itself. They
were following the lecture with painful
attentiveness. 1t was a very long lecture.
After a while the lecturer paused to
drink a glass of water.

of details should try to conduct in per-
son all the transactions of the COM
pany., down to selling tickets or per-
forming other clerical work, we woul I
conclude, and not unnaturally, that
a mind so busted with small cares could
not bring to the consideration OF large
problems the freshness of intellect and
virility of judgment necessary to the
accomplishment of the best results.
There must be division and sub-divi-
sion of authority and jurisdiction and
the test of greatness in an executive
position is not how much routine work
a superintendent can do, but how well
he can distribute this among his subor-
dinates so as to insure faithful per-
formance of duty along wise lines of
policy which it is his province 20 de-
velop With the best of intentions, 4
small guaged man in a large -guagcd
place may prove costly and inefficient
in direct proportion to his anxiety to
do it all.
We may say with the utmost respect
for General Otis that, with the inform
alton at hand, the opinion of him ac-
credited to Admiral Dewey is very
largely shared by others. For this
reason there is a widespread eXpecta-
tion that General Otis will soon be re-
lieved of some of his pressing cares and
n system of direction instituted which
will be more satisfactory in results.
