They Wanted the Canteen.

The manager Of an expensive bachelor
apartment house on Murray Hill adver-
tised an empty apartment and waited for
prospective tenants. They arrived occa-
sionally during the first week. On n
later day, when the advertisement was
once more printed, they came in such
numbers that by o'clock ten men had
asked to see the rooms. 1t was not long
before the cause of this sudden demand
was plain to the manager. He learned II
from the first arrival, who looked at the
empty rooms, admired their good points
and then showed Enthusiastically that he
was disappointed.

The manager was amazed and could
only repeat. 1.-The cantccn?" Then the
visitor took out newspaper and showed
that the advertisement plainly read.

take for Caterer on premises" But in
the unprecedentedly long list of men who
came to inspect the apartment that day
there was not one who failed to inquire
about the canteen.-New York Sun.

THE MURDERS AT RASTATT.


During February, 1929, Alexandra Gri-
bojedoff, Russian minister to Tehcran,
was assassinated in a peculiarly horrible
manner. The war between Russia and
Persia, in which Russia had won IKE vic
tory, had just ended, and Gribojcdoff,
who was a celebrated dramatic author,
was sent as minister to the defeated
country. No sooner did he reach Tchcran
than the clergy of the city urged the pop
ulace to attack him, and the result was
that on Feb. 20 a mob broke into the le-
CATION and murdered him, as well as Sc
other persons who formed part of his
rctinue.
Quickly the news spread to ST. Peters
burg, and the car determined that Per-
sia should pay heavily for the crime. A
rigid investigation was at once started
and when it was over 40 residents of Te
heran were condemned to death and were
duly executed and 30,000,O00 rubles
were awarded by Persia to the relatives
Of the murdered minister as an indemni-
y. That this was a wholesome lesson
for Persia is proved by the fact that ever
since then foreign ministers have been
treated with marked respect in that coun-
try.
A more remarkable occurrence was the

congress had been in session in this little
town for the purpose of settling the diff
ferences between France and Germany
and Austria. So far as Germany was
concerned. an amicable agreement was
arrived at. but France and Austria re-
manned at lOggerheads, and consequently
the French ENJOYS, finding that they
could accOmDlish nothing resolved TO re-
turn at once to Paris. They had arrang-
ed to leave Rastatt Mt noon, but for some
unaccountable reason the gates of the
town were closed ut that hour and were
not reopened until late in the evening.
Fearing nothing, the ENJOYS and their
retinue got into their eight coaches and
drove off. Hardly had they gone a mile.
however, when they were stopped by a
troop Of hussars, presumably Austrians.
who ordered them to leave their car
riagos. A conflict then ensued. in which
two ENJOYS, BONNER and Roberjolt, were
killed, while the third. Dudley, was so
badly wounded that his life was despair

the two ENJOYS the hussars paid no fur
Their attention to the less important men,
bers of their retinue, but rode off. and
from that day to this no one has been
able to find out who was responsible for
the murders.
The Austrian cabinet has been blamed
and so have French emigrants, the direct
DRY, England and Queen Caroline of Ma
pies, but the requisite proof of guilt has
not yet been found, and the general opin-
ion is that the murders at Rastatt will re-
main one of the inexplcable mysteries of
history.-New York Herald.
