WILES OF A CONSUL
HOW ONE MAN "cINcHED" DIP
LoMATlc JOB.
Secret Of His Long Tenure In South
America Told After His Death
Had Little Trouble in Driving Away
Competitors.

A man from South America tells
this story of an American consul
down there who died recently after
having retained possession OF his office
through administration after admins.
tration.
Brown" he said, held his post
through sunshine and through rain,
through Republican and Democratic
administrations, through revolutions
and through invasions, through vel
low fever and through everything
else on the South American calendar
Not that he was a particularly bright
and shining light at the diplomatic
game. either, and not that he worked
particularly hard at Washington to
hold his job, for he just plodded along
IN an even way and didn't appear to
care a rap for his place.
! Il learned the secret of his system
some years ago and now that he is
dead it won't do any harm to talk
about it.
The place where he was consul
was one of the choicest yellow fever
hatcheries anywhere on the globe. All
the troublesome applicants for consul
lar jobs who went to Washington
were assigned to that place when
nothing else served to put them of.
When Brown learned that he was
practically proof against the old yell
low and the rum habit he Matched up
little scheme to stay there.
When a new APPLICANT came down
TO take the post Brown always greet
ed him with the utmost cordiality,
saying that he was glad to get out OF
the blasted old hole and that nothing
on earth could tickle him more than
to take the very first steamer back
to civilization. His next words were
always an offer to take the new man
around the town and show him a few
OF the ropes Of the place.

he pointed out this and that tomb

with something like this:

The thing invariably ended in the
newcomers taking the next steamer
back and in Brown blowing the gang
OFF at his joint. 1t was at the final
scene OF one OF these occasions that
the poor old chap was taken off, and
he met one OF the most tragic deaths
in view of the circumstances, that l
ever heard of.
He had ordered the first bottle
from the servant when il came. You
see, ii was always a celebration for
him because all he had to do after
the newcomer sailed back was to ask
for the job over again.

his glass and waving his hand at the
departing steamer.
Then he suddenly grew pale and
tottered for a moment.

composure. The old yellow jack has

Victims of catarrh of the head, catarrh of
