Ii WROTE TO BOTH MEN.
But They Compared Notes and Spoiled
His Effect.

Many tales are told of the dealings
Of Ii Hung Chang with his diplomatic
subordinates, and there is Il character
istic story afioat with regard to his re-
lations with the present Minister TO
England, Sir Chih-chen Lo Feng Luh
The time was that of the siege of the
legations in Peliin, when all the civil
lied world was in fear as to the fate
of the beleaguered, ana when China
with her emissaries and all pertaining
to her, was looked on with no very
friendly eye. Ii Hung Chang was the
virtual ruler of China, and it was from
him that the various ministers and
ambassadors received their instruc-
tions. There had, apparently, been
some fresh manifestation of European
displeasure, when one day the minister
in England received from Ii mes
sage, the purport of which was as fol-
lows:
1--WE are not satisfied with your ef-
forts in London. The English are hos
tile, and you must do something to al
ter matters. You are not energetic
enough. You are neglecting to infu-
ence the Government. The man who
is doing all the work is your colleague
in Washington, Wu-Ting-fang. He is
the man you should initiate
Unfortunately for Lis little game,
Sir Chih-chen and WuTing- fang hap
pened to be close friends, and the Min
lister here contided what had hap
pened TO his friend in Washington.
WuTing-fang was, to say the least of
it, surprised.
This is very extraordinary, he re-
piled. Il also have had message
from Ii Hung Chang. This is what he
says to me:
Your efforts are not giving salts
faction. We feel you should be more
energetic and that you should try to
influence the American Government to
| take our side in this affair. You are
not doing half enough, and, il you
want an example, you should turn to
Sir Chh-chen Lo Feng Luh, the minis
| ter in London. He is the man who is
| doing all the work THE Candid
| Friend.

Young Cannon and the Old Judge.

Representative Cannon began his po-

attorney in his town. His opponent
was another young lawyer. who, like
Cannon. had not made much headway
In the practice of law, but both can
didates went upon the stump and
promised to do great things il elected.
One day as the rival candidates
went down the street together they
were Joined by the judge of the court.
He stepped in between them taking
each young man by the arm.
What are you boys making all this
fuss about:" he queried.
I'VE want to be States attorney"
they replied in unison.
Well" said the judge laughing, Il
ought to take some interest in the mat
ter, but | don't. No matter which one
of You is elected there will be no Grim
inals sent to jail"
Cannon, telling the story. says that
he was elected, but whether it was be-
cause he was the best or the poorest
lawyer. he has never been able to tell.
