FORT STREET

in all proba bility complete plans of the
fortifications of all other powers. A
case in point occurred some years ago.
Durir the Napolenic wars in an attack
upon a German fortress a French Cen
eral fell, and was buried within the
fortress. For some reason or other a
few years ago the French wanted the
coffin to be returned to France, and
asked permission to have a party of
French officers ATTEND the removal.
The request was refused as far as the
French officers were concerned, for the
fertilization had been renewed, and no
one, especially officers of a foreign
power could be admitted. Whereupon
the French Government sent complete
plans of the new Notifications, mark
ing the exact spot where the Generals
body lay. After that of course leave
was granted, for it was clear the
French knew as much about the fortifi-
cations as the Germans did.

"A man is no good if he has no enc
mics" is often heard said.
1t is the same with a standard ar
ticle of any manufacture. But the
man that is decried because some one
has a private grudge against him does
not suffer in the least. Those who
know him are ever ready to speak well
of him-because spite is so evidently
the spirit that moves his biased critics.
Also, the article of trade which is ac-
cepted as standard-The Douglas Pat
ent Closet, for instance-has it's few
oigotted' biased and jealous soreheads,
that, prompted by envy, talk bitterly
and the only disturbance is a thermo.

Not much time has been lost by the
Sultan in furnishing the assassin of
the Russian consul at Monastir. The
policeman who killed him has been
hanged, out of hand, and the higher
officials have been banished for not
preventing the riot. Now Turkey has
to wait to hear what Russia has to say,
by acting very quickly the Sultan has
some what forestalled Russia.

A FooLHARDY PENSION SCHEMF

not the least fear that either legis-
