LONDON, May 2S.-Truth in discus sing the future of the British embassy at Washington insists that it will be necessary to increase it's standing in the list of diplomatic assignments. Washington is now seventh in the list of British embassies in respect to sala- ", being outranked by the embassies at Paris, Berlin, Constantinople, Vien- ma, St. Petersburg and Rome i'll the or der named. Truth suggests Sir k. C.. Lascelles, the British ambassador to Germany, as the best diplomat to sue ceed the late Lord Pauncefote, but the paper points out that the German em- bassador could hardly be expected to relinquish his salary of f9,000 in Berlin for the salary of f6,500 paid to the British ambassador at Washington

This Town Slow in Matter of Honor
 ing It's Soldier Dead.

Ing US SOlulers Dead. One more day and Memorial day will be with us once more. So far very little interest has been shown in arranging for the proper observance of the day. Watertown, as a town, has been more than backward ill hon bring her dead soldiers. There is not stone to mark the graves of the veterans who have gone over to the great majority. It seems strange Ithat this should have been neglected when the fact is that the government furnishes these stones or markers for veterans graves free of cost. Still Watertown has never gone to the trouble to make application to the proper authorities for them and in re- gard to a soldiers monument, prob ably there is not another town in the state of the size of this in population and amount of wealth represented but has years ago erected a fitting monu- ment in honor of those who fought and died in the nations cause. It is high time that Watertown awoke to the fact that as town we have been very lax in doing honor to those who shouldered a muslet in the early cos and left home and family to fight for the cause of right and the mainten- ance of that grand old constitution which gives equal rights to all men without regard to color, country or creed.
 Tomorrow evening Watertown grange, No 122, F. of H., will hold an open meeting at which J. H. Hale of Glastonbury will make an address. MT Hale is famous as a peach grower and also as an interesting and enter taining speaker. At the close of the lecture a 10-cent tea will be served in the banquet room. The officers of the grange are anxious to have good attendance of the members as well as of those who do not belong to the or der.
 Yesterday was one of the coIdest days we have had in several weeks. The rain which fell steadily most of the day felt more like rain in Febru- ary than the last of May. Notwith- standing the low temperature crops took long strides in growth, especially grass.

Who are the heroes? They
That rush headlong to the fray
Crying "Hurrah!" as they slay-
Prodded Outlines to glory;
Smearing their muskets with gore.
To boast when the battles are DER
OF the parts that they gallantly bore.
Ever repeating the story?
Praise for the warrior bold.
With his stripes and spangles Of gold,
Let the tale be many times,told
OF his soul-stirring feats and daring:
Let him claim his reward when he's done
With the sword that he waved or his gun,
And let women Loyalty run
For shreds from the clothes he is wearing,
But not all the heroes vie
Where the shells and the bullets fly
And the roar of the fray rolls high
That the powers of kings may broaden;
Look in the street and view
Men with the hearts to do
What was bravest at Waterloo,
Or at Bunker Hill or Flodden.
Ununiformed men are there.
In the streets of the city where
The hurrying thousands fare,
Who may quietly turn tomorrow
To show that there's knighthood yet,
Ard We'll glance at the tale and forget
And bury the warrior and let
Our faces be drawn with sorrow

AT THE OPENING OF THIS
BANK TO-DAY MR.. T. FILL
MORE BALLA1NE's BALANCE
WAS 81, so.


S88s. For two weeks similar notice had
appeared regularly upon the window
OF the Elliott Bay national. It be-
gan on Monday morning, and the
few that glanced at it learned that 4.
Fillmore Ballaine had $3,250.O7 there
in. just who Mr.. T. Fillmore Ballaine
was no one seemed to know, and Just
why the bank should make public a
matter usually regarded as bust
ness secret none could guess. But
each one who read it puzzled over it,
and looked up at the notice the next
time he passed the Elliott Bay ma
tional bank.
On Tuesday the notice read $4,-
007.09, and on Wednesday it read $4,-
207.09 in the morning, but was re-
placed at the hour of closing by
new notice which read $3,941.O9. BY
Thursday the affair was in the pa
pers, and on Friday the daily balance
was the topic of the town. All day
long Saturday a crowd stood at the
big window and discussed Mr.. Bal
LANES balance of $6,4O2.09 and passed
comments thereon. At the hour of
closing new notice proclaimed that
Mr.. Ballaine had $6,999,O9 therein, and
some wag in the crowd gravely
passed his hat, saying: Lets make
it even money" On Monday morn
ing Mr.. Ballaine> was surprised to
find that some one had left deposit
of 81 cents for him and that his bal
ance stood at even $1,000.
During the second week Mr.. Bal
LANES bank balance climbed more
slowly, but every increase was hailed
with delight by the crowd in front
Of the window, who knew neither
Mr.. Ballaine nor the secret of his Pc
culiar advertisement, yet who thor
oughly enjoyed both. Not till
]. Wednesday of the second week did
+ the notice in the window credit Bal
laine with $4,000. Then man in the
crowd offered to bet a hundred that
it would touch $4,000 by Saturday.
For moment the crowd thought
4 he must be Ballaine, and guyed him
numerically, but some one recog-
y nized him as local sporting man,
4 and his bet was left untalen.
Thursday was the tenth of the
month and Mr.. Ballainc evidently
paid q few bills, for on Friday the
I balance in the window went down to
$7,432.s7, where it hung till the close
Of business on Saturday. Then the
clerk put up a new notice and the
q eager crowd cheered when it read the
i figures $1O.Os7.62.
On Monday morning a portly man
ruddy of face, grizzled and grumb
( ling, pushed into the crowd and read
u the notice. With grlnt of disgust

he entered the bank. The cashier
recognized him as one of his heaviest
depositors, and greeted him pleas
antly.
"Good-morning, Mr.. Penny"
"Heald about your remarkable
window and took look. Strikes me
as being ridiculous. Don't see how
you came to allow it," said Mr..
Penny, removing his silk hat and
wiping his moist brow.
"Mr. Ballaine obtained permission
from the president" replied the
cashier, smiling.

laine?"
ga young lawyer. Very bright fell
low, quite original in his methods.
This plan was his own. He brought
enough influence to bear through his
friends to obtain the necessary per-
mission from the president. 1t has
proven remarkable attraction to
the public"
Friends, Ell? Who were they?"
The cashier enumerated some of
the most prominent of the younger
business men of the Puget sound me-
tropolis.
Gall right interrupted the capt.
talist, with the air of man who had
heard displeasing news. "When the
young man comes in tell him he
wins" Then he left the bank.
The cashier smiled, for he knew
what Ballaine's winning" meant,
and he reported the conversation to
the president.
But the crowd outside knew moth
ing of this, and only gaped as usual
at the sign. That day it dropped to
$9,5sz62, and remained there for ten
days, when it jumped to $51,5s7.62, a
sudden gain of $4,000. That night
the evening papers proclaimed the
sale of Mr.. Penny's famous water
front property for fabulous sum,
and conveyed the interesting in
formations:
''The deal was contaminated by T.
Fillmore Ballaine, an attorney in the
Times building, whose commission on
this deal alone is $4,000
Next day many people looked up
at the big window of the Elliott Bay
national, but there was no trace of
Mr.. Ballaine's balance. In it's ac-
customed place hung sign which
