Outstanding was before the death of
President Mckinley that Ambassador
White would return for good some
time during the present fiscal year.
Andrew d. White is recognized as
the most experienced and finished
diplomat in the service of the United
States. His present term as United
States ambassador to Germany began
in 1897, but he served as minister at
wards, in 1892, was ambassador to
Russia. Mr.. White stands as high in
the educational world, both in the
United States and Europe, as in the
diplomatic service. His work in the
chair of history at the University Of
Michigan, at Cornell, and at the STAN
ford university of California has
given him a standing excelled by but
few.
Chance for Western Man.
1t was understood before President
Mckinley died that when Mr.. White re-
tired his successor might not be New
York man, because that state was al
ready represented in the embassies in
London and Paris. President McKin-
ley hoped to have a western man as one
Of the ambassadors, and it was this
argument which resulted in the selec-
ton Of Myron T. Herrick, of Cleveland,
as ambassador to Italy. Had President
Mckinley lived Col. Herrick would
have been ambassador to Italy, the
Mt Of no n Ia
post, Mr.. Meyer, having been sent to
Rome with the distinct understanding
that he would make way for Mr. Her
rick. Lately Mr.. Herrick has decided
not to go abroad but Mr.. Meyer will
come back just the same, because he
proposes to become a candidate for
congress from the Moody district in
Massachusetts,. This will result in two
vacancies. at Rome and Berlin.
Wolcott May Be Named.
If certain arrangements can be
made it is likely that the president
will give Senator Wolcott, if he has
not already done so, the choice be-
tween Berlin and Rome. 1t is also a
possibility that Assistant Secretary
of State Hill may secure one of the
vacant posts. He is being pressed for
the place actively by some strong
friends. In case he is sent abroad
the present third assistant secretary,
Herbert Fl. d. PIERCE, a Massachu-
sets man and warm friend of Sen
ator Lodge, may be promoted to the
position Of first assistant secretary.

DIAMOND BACK TERPAPIN.
Formerly Despised. They Are Now
Considered DeIicacy.

Half a century or 50 ago diamond
back terrapin We're fed 70 slaves and
hogs. Today they are tile rarest deli
cacy known 10 the epcurian world
says the Philadelphia North American.
Then they sold for $ a barrel, and
laborerS, when hiring out, specified
that they must not be compelled to eat
terrapn more than twice week. To
day barrel is cheap al $500. and mil
lionaires travel hundreds of miles for
a chance to feast on this most deli
cious of all meats.
OF course this means genuine dia-
mond backs. There are many imita-
tionS.
Every first class restaurant in the
country features 'terrapin Il In Mary
land" on its menu, bur in not one case
out Of hundred is the real telrapin
served. The diner regales himself on
what he believes to be Maryland's
choicest dish Instead he is merely
eating fresh water turtles. ''sliders' or
North Carolina goldens."
Tie reason is simple. ReStaurateurs
don't serve real diamond backs be-
cause they can't get them. The worlds
total terrapin population does not eX-
coed $4,000 of legal size, and these are
confined to the shores of the Chesa-
peake bay, the only place that produces
them.
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York enjoy a monopoly. These three
cities get practically thu entire output,
but few ever find their way across the
Blue Ridge. The epicure unfortunate
enough to be born in Chicago or st.
Louis must either come east or forego
the Joys of terrapin.
To select a real diamond back anna
teurs should be guided by these distin-
gushing and characteristic markings:
1t is of a greenish, dark olive color,
sometimes running to spotted gray,
yellow on the plate which surrounds
the shell and has concentric dark
stripes along the plate on both shells.
The sides of the head are dirty white,
sprinkled with small black spots. The
bottom shell is of whitish yellow
The males are much larger than the
females and have the concentric streaks
much better defined. The female has
the more delicate flesh. The male can
be distinguished by his toe nails, which
are much longer than those of the fe-
male.

A WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
Terrible Experience of Hunter
With an Indian Band.

One of the most remarkable instances
of the escape of white man from the
Indians was that Of John Golfer, a ia
nous hunter and trapper. On the day
in question he and his companion We're
surrounded by 600 savage warriors.
The companion was instantly killed,
and Golfer was captured. His foes had
no intention Of saving his life, how
ever. They wanted the sport of put
ting him to the torture or at least Of
playing with him as a cat plays with
mouse. The chief asked him if he
could run. He said Not much
He was released and told TO save his
life if he could.
Golfer darted away at high speed.
and most Of the Goo savages set off aft
er him. There was plain before him
six miles wide, bounded on the far side
by a river fringed with trees. Golfer
had always been famous rs runner
and his practice now stood him in good
stead He made straight across the
plain for the stream, and the wells Of
his purSuers lent him wings. His foes
had removed every shred of clothing
from his body. and the plain was GOV
cred with lriclily pears. 50 that his I'M
protected feet were laceratcd at every
stride.
Half way across the plain he glanced
back and saw that only a few Indians
were following him. Again he ran on
and soon realized that one of his pnr-
suers was nearing him. He redoubled
his efforts, and blood gushcd from his
nostrls and flowed down over his
breast.
The fringe of trees was near. hut
hasty backward look showed him the
pursuing brave close upon him with
spear raised Moved by Il sudden inn
pulse. Golfer stopped. turned and faced
the savage with outstrctched arms.
The Indian was so taken aback at
this unexpected movement that he
stumbled and fell! This was Golfers
opportunity. lie ran back, seized the
spear and. pinning his antagonist to
the ground, ran on.
Other Savages came on, fiercer than
before mt the death of their comrade,
but Golfer reached the trees, plunged
into their midst and then into the river
and swan 10 a pile of driftwood that
had lodged He diyed beneath it and
stuck his head up between two logs
covered with smaller timbers and
brush.
The Indians came up and searched
for several hours, but failed TO find
him. Again and again they walked
over the driftwood Luckily they did
not fire it, as he feared they would.
At last they went away Then Golfer

FAD BECAME A MANIA.
tempted by Harvard Book Plates, n
Dnctor Turned Thief.

II would seem from the experience
Of the Harvard college library that
book plate collecting may sometimes
develop into a dangerous and eYpen-
sive mania. \ few years ago he liar
ward library found that the engraved
labels which it pastes on the inside of
the covers of its books us marks Of its
ownership We're disappearing from
some of the less used volumes. The
older book plates, it appears, are high
~ priced by collectors ana some Of
them are particularly valuable for their
artistic merit as well rs for interesting
associations with early book collect
ing in this country. These were natu-
rally the special prey of the thief.
Detectives took the matter in hand,
and the offender was discovered with
full evidence of his guilt upon him
He confessed 10 stealing the library'S
property ana to having ii in his pos
session. BY the time the matter reach
ed the courts the greater part Of the
book plates had been restored. the thief
having settled satisfactorily with the
persons To whom he had sold or given
Them and. as the prisoner had repaid
the expense to which the library had
been put. the college consented to leave
the matter Of sentence with the court,
which imposed a fine of $50 on one
count and put the other count or file,
TO be brought up again later if it should
be desirable, meanwhile placing the
offender under 81, 600 bonds for his FIJI
ture appearance if he should be want
cd.
4 striking point in the case is that
the guilty man is in no way common
criminal. His education Che has a de-
gree of DOCTOR and his taste seem only
to have made his thefts more intelli-
gent and discriminating. however He
knew the value Of his peculiar booty,
and he knew how to dispose Of it, his
very personality being a protection TO
him in thar part of his mistemeanor.
Apparently the fad developed to Il ma
mia and that to kleptomania in his
mind.
A number of the stolen plates have
not yet been traced at all, and collect
ors have been warned against accept
ing Harvard plates of the older en-
graved varieties unless there is unmis-
taxable evidence that they came hon
estly into the possession of the person
who offers them.

The "Bad" Bows.

The dad" boys are often the best
boys in the neighborhood. All they
want is chance to do something.
Don't expect healthy, active boys to
want to be tied up in books and so
called improving occupations continu-
ally. If boys are not given good ideas
to work upon, such as they always get
in kindergartens, manual training and
other up to date schools, they are sure
to be in harmful mischief. because
boys with vim and get there" in them
are bound to be busy. Give them tools
and materials to work with; encourage
them TO make sleds, carts, boats and
various kinds of playthings. Don't
