not entitled, declaring himself a son of
the President of the United States, and

toned this case, asking him to give me
such information as came to him. He
answered: Remind me at your next

On my calling, some days later, the
Minister handed me n paper on which
was inscribed, apparently, not only ev-

during the past week, but everything
he had done and said, his conversations
in the restaurants being noted with es.

evidently worthless, he was clearly
rather a fool than a scoundrel. On

quite as much surprised at my sup

has admitted a claim made by the Fidelity Trust
Company, of that city. for the exemption from
taxation of securities worth about $4,000 which
parts of the capital and surplus stock of the
pany are invested. The property thus exempted
consists largely of municipal bonds. and the FL

taxation when held by corporation. If the de-
cision be carried out to extend to other

be cut by about $5,Oo0,VO0.
