was visiting southern town where he
was booked to give reading a COM

A DIPLOMATIC LIBRARIANS
He Pleased the Politician Without
Giving His Friend Position.


Giving His Friend Position.
When Mr.. Putnam was the head OF
the Public library in Boston. ward
leader of that city called on him to rec
ommend henchman for place in the
library.
There was no reason why the libra
rian should not have refused at once
and peremptorily to appoint him, but
he chose to follow another course.
After a few minutes talk with the
politician Mr.. Putnam asked him
whether he had ever been through all
the departments of the institution.
II never have, but I'd like to see it,
replied the politician.
1T will give me much pleasure to go
with you," said Mr.. Putnam.
Mr.. Putnam took him behind the
counters and through the building
from top to bottom, explaining the
character and the magnitude Of the
work in detail He further pointed out,
without seeming to do so, the varied
duties of the employees and the attain
ments they must possess to do the
work. When the tour was ended, Mr..
Putnam said:
"Pm pleased to have had chance
to show the library to you, and if your
friend will fill out an application blank
and send it, and If he passes the neces-
sary examination, l think there will
be no difficulty in placing his name on
the waiting list"
The politician, however, had seen
enough of library work to convince
him that his constituent could find no
place on the staff, and the blank was
never filled out. But to the day he left
Boston Mr.. Putnam had no warmer adj
mirer in that city than this same ward
leader.-Collier's Weekly.

AS DEFINED BY HAY.
Position of the United States in tn
Chinese Troubles.

Position of the United States in the
Chinese Troubles.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE state de-.
partment has finally concluded to make
public the identical note which was re-
Gently delivered to the powers, as defin-
ing the position of the United States
respecting the Chinese troubles. The
circular which was sent to our foreign
representatives, is as follows:
''In this critical posture of affairs in
China it is deemed appropriate to define
the attitude Of the United States as far
as present circumstances permit this to
be done. We adhere to the policy in.
itiated by us in 1857, of peace with the
Chinese nation, Of furtherance of law
full commerce and of protection of lives
and property Of our citizens by all
means guaranteed under extra terrific
rial treaty rights and by the law of ma
tions. If wrong be done to our citizens
we propose to hold the authors respon-
sible to the uttermost accountability.
We regard the condition at Pekin as
one of virtual anarchy, whereby power
and responsibility is practically de.
volved upon the local provincial author
tiles. So long as these are not in overt
collision with rebellion and use their
power to
Protect Foreign Life and Property,
we regard them as representing the
Chinese people with whom we seek to
remain in peace and friendship. The
purpose of the president is, as it has
been heretofore, to act concurrently
with the other powers, first, in opening
up communication with Pekin and res
cuing the American officials, mission.
aries and other Americans who are in
danger; secondly, in affording all pos
sible protection everywhere in China,
to American life and property; thirdly,
in guarding and protecting all legiti-
mate American interests; and, fourthly,
in aiding to prevent spread of the dis
orders to the others provinces of the en-
pire and recurrence of such disasters
1t is, OF course, too early to forecast the
means of attaining this last result, but
the policy of the government of the
United States is to seek a solution
which may bring about permanent
safety and peace to China, preserve
Chinese territorial and administrative
entity, protect all rights guaranteed to
friendly powers by treaty and interna-
tional law, and safeguard for the world
the principle of equal and impartial
trade with all parts of Chinese empire. -

On the occasion of reception to
Henry Clay by his Baltimore admirers,
trip down Chesapeake Bay was Civ
en-, and on the return trip a game of
euchre was arranged AS Clay was a
noted player at all games of cards, two
of the most skillful players were Sc
lected to compete against him, and the
local card champion. Billy Bryson. who
simply worshiped Clay, had the honor
Of being his partner. But poor Billy
was so overcome that he became en-
tirely bewildered, and made the most
absurd and unaccountable errors.
Clay's temper rose rapidly and he rail-
ed at Bryson in good set terms. Final
ly the unfortunate man, brought to
bay, replied: by CAD, sir, il you were
old Billy Eryson, and had the great
Harry Clay for a partner, sir, 1 think
you should be excused for failing to
note the difference between a king Of
trumps and the right bower" The in
voluntary compliment so pleased Clay
that he shouted with laughter. and was

ANTS DIG AN ARTESIAN WELL

1t Is a notorious fact, SAYS a CORE
spondent. writing from Millen. Screven
county. Ga, that red ants will dig their
holes until they strike water. Near the
station in Millen, and about fifty feet from
one Of the main artesian wells, is a colo
ny of big red ants that have been work
ing in the same bed for over fifty years.
One of the oldest citizens says they were
there for that length of time to his GER
tain knowledge. but he can't say how long
they were there before that time. One can
imagine the establishment of the people of
Millen when they saw one morning a
bold flow of artesian water seven feet
high coming from that red ant bed. The
poor fellows dug to their own destruction.
very peculiar thing about it is that ii
has cut off the wells here. There Is great
excitement here. People for miles around
are coming in hourly to see the wonderful
well.-Savannah News.
