able. Sweden's copy OF the extraditlon
treaty of 1899 is printed on parch-
ment and bound in purple velvet and
watered silk. The seal of state, which
covers two cords of gold and silver, red
and blue, is inclosed in a silver case,
upon which the Swedish a of arms
is worked in gold relief. A box of pol
ished white birch with brass clasps is
the outer covering of the whole. 1t is
said that the copy which Uncle Sam
sent in return was worth not more
than rs cents. His treaties are writ
ten in English, while those that come
to him are usually in two languages
sometimes in three. French Is becom-
ing less used as the language of diplo-
macy.
A Chinese treaty which is in the IL
ures before the Swedish treaty arrived.
1t is printed in Chinese characters
upon thin yellow paper mounted on a
background Of linen. The singular
sheet upon which these characters are
printed is six feet long and rolls up
into a scroll. 1t has a border Of dra-
CONS beautifully drawn In ink, and Is
inclosed in a cylinder Of yellow silk,
lined with silk of a rich old gold color.
This last is embroidered in many col
ored designs, the dragon being most
prominent. China has furnished Uncle
Sam with some very artistic treaties
The celebrated Burlingame treaty OF
1903 was a book contained in a rare
lacquered box literally sprinkled with
spots of gold. The leaves of this docu-
ment were also embellished with gold
by a process unknown to American
craftsmen. While American gold can
be rubbed off the paper with the finger.
the Chinese writing is permanent.

Rollins was unhappy. He had plans

several trunks, which had arrived from
the north, had been sent. No one
knows how the transformation came
about, but at dinner a beautiful wom-
an entered the dining-room, glanced
toward where the invalid and wife
were seated, and the next moment
there was a commotion. The invalid
had turned to see who the newcomer
was, and then, arising hastily, his pal
lid face becoming ashy, fell to the floor
in a faint. His. wife screamed, the
other guests focked about to assist in
restoring the sick man, and during the
commotion the handsome woman re-
tired to her room. When the sick man
revived and was asked what had
caused his sudden faintness he In
quired If the handsome woman he had
seen was not Johnnie Rollins. He was
told that Johnnie Rollins was a rich
man and the goat king of Mexico, but
Johnnie Rollins was not a woman.

that her sole ambition had been to be-

All along the Rio Grande the boys
are talking about how the goat king OF
Mexico turned out to be an American
girl. That she managed to conceal her
frontier is a marvel. Some of the boys
say they suspected her all the while,
but the truth is that for seven years
Johnnie Rollins played his, or rather
her, part so well that no one. thought
she was other than she seemed, relates
the st. Louis Republic. The first ap-
pearance of Johnnie in the southwest
was in 1893, when a slender. under
sized tenderfoot applied at NemmeTs
ranch on Devils river, west of San
Angelo, for a job. The boy rode well
and was willing, but was so small and
looked SO unequal to the h~ardships OF
a cowcamp that the boss was about to
tell him he had no use for more help
just then, when, seeing the look Of dis
appointment in the youngsters face,
lie asked If he could cook. Yes" said
the boy, but I'd rather ride after the
cattle" Johnnie left the Nemmere
ranch and got a job herding goats.
For this he got $40 a month. He was
SO faithful that at the end of the year
his wages were raised. He lived alone
In a cabin out in the mountains, as
wild a region as there Is In all the
DEVILS river district. His nearest
neighbor was 10 miles away, but with
bis dogs, his goats, and good Winches-
ter he bore his lonely life stolidly and
uncomplainingly. OF all the herders
il, the DEVILS river valley Johnnie was
the most faithful. After a time he got
a reputation for courage and honesty
that led one of the richest stockmen
In west Texas to turn over sew
eral thousand goats to him to
care for and manage on shares. This
was the turning point toward fortune.
Johnnie secured a big tract of grazing
land across the Rio Grande in Mexico,
bought all the goats he could get with
the money at his command, and by ex-
ercising the strictest honesty in air his
dealings got a credit with the frontier
banks that was enjoyed by no other
person in similar circumstances along
the Rio Grande. The herd grew and
before Johnnie realized 1t he had
earned the sobriquet of the Goat King
Of Mexico" But all this time Johnnie

All of Uncle Sans bargains with
foreign governments are put into writ
ing by both parties to the agreement,
our state department writing out a
document to be SEN abroad, while the
car. the shah or the other party to
the transaction writes his version and
sends IL to Washington. These docu-
ments take a good deal of character
from the nation issuing them, and the
state department library holds many
a curious manuscript.
For his part Uncle Sam is content to
be plain and democratic in such mat
tiers. According to a writer in the Phil
elaborate copies of the treaties which
he sends to other countries. There are
one or two clerks in the department
who do very neat penwork, and they
copy the treaties on to a very heavy
quality of white paper known as "trea-
ty paper" Sometimes they make an
artistic initial or a decorative title,
but usually they keep to clean. read
able lettering. The document is writ
ten on both sides Of the paper, and
around each page is drawn a double
border of plain black and red lines. A
cover is made of the same paper, and
the whole is bound at the side with
silk ribbon. The great seal Of state is
not stamped in silver, as are some Of
the foreign seals, nor even in wax, but
is impressed on the last leaf of the
treaty itself. The entire affair is not
nearly SO elaborate as n Of the laws
passed by congress, engrossed on
parchment and sent to the president
for his signature.
Some of the treaties received in ex-
change for these simple documents,
however, are both curious and valu-
