Story of a Medal.

A delightful story is being told in
Paris concerning a we'll known public
man, who, recently, was presented by a
Soudanese potentate with the Labaksi-
Tapo Order OF Merit. The recipient,
anxious to display the decoration at
the earliest opportunity, applied at
once to the Ministry for permission TO
wear it. While readily granting the
permission, the Minister inquired, with
q ghost Of smile: do you know
what the Order is like?" Certainly
replied the delighted applicant; lit is a
beautiful gold ring, and hanging from
1t small red enamel pipe of peace l
should like to wear it." "Of course,
you may wear it, but according to law
you have to wear it as it Is worn by the
natives in Africa" ''And how might
that be?" why, with the ring through
the nose" The new knight of tic
LabaksiTapo Order has not been
heard of since.-Westminst Gazette.

One hundred and ninety-eight years
ago the rock of Gibraltar fell into the
hands OF the British by assault The
Prince of Hesse Dramstadt commanded
the troops, and Sir George Rookie the
Heet, and in the remarkably short time
OF four days the stronghold surrender
ed Many times the Spaniards at
tempted to get back the key to the
Mediterranean. but without success,
though on one occasion they got 500
men within the fort. but failed 10 re-
4ilrn them. In 1926 it was in the mind
OF ministers to give back the rock 10
Spain, but so great an agitation arose
against such step that it was aband-
oned. There followed siege by Spain
and France, which lasted from 1727 to
1883. On September Ii, 1882, no fewer
than 10000 men constituted the be-
siegtns army, and in the grand attack
delivered ON that day, 200 heavy guns,
AZ ships of the line and 10 battering
ships were employed, and upwards of
5000 red hot shots were fired at the
Notifications. Since then the possess
sion OF Gibraltar has remained undis-
puted.-Naval and Military Record.

WESTERN SOCIETY PRAISED.
Booth Harrington Says 1t IL HOspitable.
Sincere and Free From SnObbishness

Booth Harrington Says 1t IL HOspItable.
Sincere and Free From SnObbishness.
Society in the Middle West is al
most wholly without snobbishness, %
says Booth Harrington. Now and then
there becomes apparent q struggle to
enter 1t OF someone outside of it;
but, because access is so simple, the
fact that struggle is necessary nearly
always creates in itself a. perpetual dis
qualification 1t is a society exceeding
ly friendly to the newcomer very ready
to receive him on his merits; it has no
feeling OF it's own in security to make
it snub him because it does not know
who he was before he came. And while
the visitor will be asked many ques-
lions about his acquaintance in other
cities, he viii not be asked if he has
met the Rockmores of Germantown
In order to discover if he knows the
light people The questions are put
in hopeful way, with the hospital wish
70 find mutual friends OF whom to talk,
and to bring the visitor and native into
closer touch
There is a natural drawing together
and interdependence, of course among
the people who form the nucleus Of
this society, whose fathers and grand
fathers have been friends, watching the
town grow from a village in the '40s
TO CITY Of Importance in the Twentieth
century, and although there is a small
common place among the families that
we're here from the first it amounts
mainly to greater familiarity with each
other as among relatives Conditions
areall the happier for the absence of
the proud turtle who condescends to
the newcomer because his relatives have
long bbeen in the same pond Here
and there there may be an individual
who takes to himself some credit that
his family have achieved distiction or
continued in responsibility through sew
eral generations, but he does not push
the claim, because he lives among peo-
pie who would laugh less at the AFRO
CANT strut OF new wealth than at a
claim Of privilege for high BIRTH be-
cause (the people would feel) to be
tainted with the former means at least
that you are proud of something YOU
yourself have accomplished; to possess
the latter means that you are in the
ludicrous attitude of being proud Of
yourself because Of something that
somebody else did.
The members Of this society live
on terms OF singular intimacy with one
another, almost as in village, meeting
often and rarely passing each other on
the street without pausing for more
than greeting. When the warm wealth
er begins one has only to stroll or drive
out certain pleasant portions Of the
city during the early evening to see
nearly all his friends, who will be
Longing each On his lawn, or comfort
ably taking the air on the broad porches
and the older inhabitant easily remem-
berS the day when he was acquainted
with every person of respectable ap-
pearance in town. Such intimacy, of
course. entails an amusingly large
quantity OF amazingly small gossip

Twelve years ago when Robert z.
Pattison ran as the Democratic candi-

in which not only the United States but
foreign nations may take advantage of
the machinery already in -existence at The

I commend to the favorable considera-
ton of the congress the Hawaiian fire
claims. which were the subject of careful
investigation during the last session.
The Isthmian Canal.
The congress has wisely provided that
we shall build at once an isthnnian canal
if possible at Panama. The attorney gen.
eral reports that we can undoubtedly ac-
quire good title from the French Panama
Canal company. Negotiations are now
pending with Colombia to secure her as
sent to our building the canal. This canal
will be one Of the greatest engineering
feats Of the 10Th century; a greater en-
cheering feat than has yet been accom-
plished during the history OF mankind
The work should be carried out as con-
tinuing policy without regard to change
of administration; and It should be begun
under circumstances which will make it
a matter Of pride for all administration
TO continue the policy.
The canal will be of great benefit to
America, and of Importance to all the
world. It will be of advantage to us in
dustrially and also as improving our mill
tary position. 1t will be OF advantage to
the countries of tropical America It is
earnestly to be hoped that all OF these
countries will do some OF them have
already done with signal success, and will
invite to their shores commerce and I'm
prove their material conditions by recog-
| nizing that stability and order are the
prerequisites OF successful development
