Result of the Suspension of Tafts
Mission to the Vatican.

PARIS. July 2O.-The Temps. commenting
on the negotiations between William H.
Taft. Governor of the Philippine islands.
and the Vatican says:
Notwithstanding the courteous language
used by both sides. the Vaticans reply TO
Governor Tafts last note is tantamount TO
q rejection OF the American offers, which
amounted 10 nothing less than the conclu-
sion of indirect concordat with the
United States. The signature of this con-
vention would have given the apostolic
delegate in Washington a sort of diplo-
matte exequatur. permitting him to confer
directly with President Roosevelt or the
government without the intermediary of
an American citizen, such as Archbishop
Ireland. The Vatican in refusing TO lend a
hand in the gradual expulsion of the con-
grega tions from the Philippines has at the
same time stif1ed the germ of an American
concordat, which would have been tri-
umph for the policy the Pope has seemed
so ardently TO pursue since his advent"

This is the title of book written in
his boyhoad over 30 years ago by Judge
Henry A. Shute of Exeter, Mass He
wrote it in an old copy book for his
own amusement and the incidents,
which are full of genuine fun, all oc-
CURED as they are told. Most of the
persons named in the diary are alive
to-day. but their identity is, of course,
masked by fictitious names. This
bright little book, which has hearty
laugh on every page for all who read
it, is on sale in town and should find a

why Joyous smiles o'erspread my face,
Why |, so doleful yesterday,
Now wear an air of buoyant grace.
All anxious care I've laid aside
calm content pervades my soul,
walk the streets in conscious pride
I've got quarter of coal!

TO md dealer who would sell,
And peadingly talked and talked,
Just to be told to 90 towel,
My troubles are all over now.
Like CrUsus in my wealth roll,
Gone are the wrinkles from my brow
I've got quarter ton of coal

who gets his fuel by the peck,
Or MN who much worse OFF, mayhap,
Can't get quart, to save his neck,

But II tell you what, I'm IT
