that the treaty must be ratified to put
an end TO the war, and when that is

New York Sun: If In descending from

You would regard him not only os q

true interests OF his employers.
That is about what has happened In
the case Of Admiral George Dewey and
Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, proprietor
OF the Paris edition Of the New York
Herald and the New York edition OF
the Paris Herald.

THE SCAPEGRACE

on his Sister.
Detroit Free Press: There Is bright
young man, living in one of the finest
homes in one of the prettiest parts OF
Detroit, who is now there on probation.
ANY serious departure from the line of
good behavior marked out for him will
lead to exile. He may be sent to help
ON n ranch, to do some kind OF duty
nbout an active copper mine or to assist
in wrestling dividends from q boat
line or railroad. for his father Is imam
cIaIly Interested in all that sort OF
thlngi but It is certain that he must go
and 20 on short notice unless he COM
plies with the rules recently laid down
to govern his conduct.
He's bright, genial. tactful and en-
terprIsing, but all these gifts have a
tendency to unite themselves in prae-
tlcal Joking. And he does not measure
consequences in gratifying this propen-
dty. He hired man to personate an
officer and serve writ commanding
the old gentlemnn's appearance In
court to answer the charge Of having
tried to sell the park board n Jersey
row on the representation that It was
red deer. The father never owned a
Jersey COW or saw n red deer, but he
dew around excltedly to straighten the
matter out and was so laughed ut that
he offered a reward for the perpetrator
Of the fraud. Then the pretended OH
Ger betrayed his employer and gave the
whole thing away. A severe lecture
which the old gentleman gave the boy
closed the incident. The jovial youth
did not look day older or show the
mark OF u care.
