A Decoration with a Moral

A story illustrative of an unfortunate
error of judgment is told NJ the ex-
pense of the late Baron Nordenskjo
When he was on his way home from
the Siberian coast. he received a tele-
gram from the Russian government.
asking him If he would accept n deco
ration from the Car in recognition of
his services to the country.
Now the baron was member of the
anti-decoration society. which pledged
its supporters TO receive no decOra-
ticns from anybody; and he wrestled
long and faithfully with himself be-
fore finally he yielded 10 the tempta
ton. and telegraphed back that he
would gladly accept the honor.
How great, then, was his chagrin
when. on reaching home friend told
him that the Car was fully aware of
his antipathy TO honors of the nature
of decorations, and had pnt aside the
sum of three hundred thousand rublcS.
to be given to him in case of his re-
fusal of the offer.

''is certainly grateful to you for your
failure to live up to your pledge"
A man does not lose three hundred
thousand rubles every time he breaks
n pledge. but the moral is good one
for all that.

All he has to do is work to keep the old
