IT WAS NOT TOO LATE.
A story of European Diplomacy and
Our civil War.

A story of European Diplomacy and
Our civil War.
The Outlook gives an interesting
story of the Spanish administration.
when, during our civil war, the Emperor
Napoleon formed the ingenious plan of
uniting European nations in a change
of the international law governing
bloekades The admiralty law of the
world at present extends the jurisdic-
ton of any nation for one marine league
FROM its shores. If, therefore, any block
ade runner could get within three miles
If Jamaica, Cuba or Porto Rico he
was safe from any interference from
our blockading feet.
Napoleon proposed that, instead of
one league, the limit of local sovereignty
should be extended to three leagues
from shore, and he persuaded the Span
ish minister 10 come into his plan.
Such an extension of neutral limits
would have greatly hindered tie opera
tons of our blockading fleets All the
negotiations We're conducted with great
secrecy, but orders were sent from
Spain to the West Indies, instructing
authorities there to extend threefold the
range of their dominion over the sea
These orders had already gone when
Horatio Perry, the American secretary
of legation, got wind of the treachery
of our ally.
Mr.. Perry told his wife. She told the
Duchess of Montpensier, who hated
Louis Napoleon. and the duchess told
her sister. the Spanish queen. Then the
queen sent for Mr. Perry and asked
what it was all about
"You are injuring your best
friends. said he after explaining the
matter. lat the solicitation of this in
triguer whom you have reason to be-
lieve is your enemy
The queen regent sent for her prime
minister and Intercepted him. He re-
piled that her majesty had signed the
order on such day
"Bnt no one told me what it meant,
said Queen Isabella mo one told me
that this is heavy blow to my Ameri-
can allies.
No one had told her The minister
was sorry if her majesty disliked it.
but it was too late to help it. Why was
it too late? Because a steamer had gone
to the Wet Indian fleet with the orders
which changed one league to three
Then said Isabella. at is not too
late for me to accept your designations
But the senior don did not want to re.
sign, and the other senores dons did not
want 10 resign. So they found a fast
steamer to take out orders resembling
the other orders. and the blockade was
maintained for the next year.

Fun For the Neiehbors.

A youth in the east end caused quite
a sensation a few days since by start
ing out as an amateur mail carrier. His
mother had placed large number Of
letters which she had received from
her husband before marriage in box
and stored the box in a closet in her
room. The precocious youth found the
box, and seeing SO many letters con-
ceived the idea of establishing a post
route in opposition to Uncle Sam. He
filled q small wagon with the missives
and unknown to his mother started out
on his route. He was industrious, and
called at every house in the block, leay-
ing q letter at each one.
When the hopeful was returning he
was net by his mother and asked
where he had been. He promptly re-
piled he was playing letter carrier and
volunteered the information that he
had "found a lot Of letters in closet
up stairs and had left one at every
house." The mother had a premonition.
She hurried up stairs and discovered
that all the antenuptial missives which
she had so carefully preserved had
been distributed among her neighbors.
What the neighbors thought Of the bill
let doux submitted for their perusal is
not known, but they were all promptly

Test of Perx

III you ever want boy 20 work for
you, send him out to find four leaved
clover, and il he finds one you may
hire him with the assurance that he
will prove faithful and deserving"
That is the advice Of Daniel Aims
worth Of Newton, Kan, and he has had
a good deal Of experience with boys.
Mr.. Ainsworth says this idea is not
original with him. He learned it from
old Alexander Sackctt, a wealthy grain
commission merchant Of Cleveland, O.
Mr.. Sackett had several boys working
for him. When he needed a boy, he al
ways put an advertisement in the
paper, and when the boys came in an
swer to it he sent them all away with
instructions to 80 out and find four
leayed clover and not to return with
out it.
Mr.. Sackett invariably engaged the
boy who came back first with the four
leaved clover and the boy neved failed
him.
Mr.. Sackett's motive in this was not
that the finding Of the clover brought
good luck, but that it took patience
perseverance and persistent work to
find four leaved clover, and that a
boy lacking in those qualities would
soon tire Of the hunt, and that such a
boy was not worth hiring.-Kansas

"But the custom has not fallen alto
