the colonel 1T thought some Of you
might be glad of a poker game or
would like to swap yarns to pass away
the time and I believe I'd enjoy talk
with the widow over there, but l amt
desperate about 1t"
Then, sir, will you be kind enough
to leave us to ourselveS?" continued
the honorable.
You mean I'm to fight shy Of your
crowd?"
Il mean, sir--I mean that when we
desire your company Wen give you
due notice. Is that plain ?"
Colonel that's as plain as the
horns on a steer. 1 take it that you
mean to snub me ?"
You are man of perception, sir"
That closed the interview. Colonel
Joslyn had tried to break up the
ring and had failed. He went off
and sat down by himself for while
and felt somewhat hurt and humil-
lated, but this feeling did not last
long. They were a churlish lot, while
he. on the contrary, was a good fell
low They could not help being
churlish any more than he could help
being good-natured, and he soon de-
cided to forgive them.
BY and by the Monarch reached Alex
andria The ring drew long breath
and hoped 1t had seen the last of Col
onel Joslyn. He had been talked over
on several occasions, and though it was
agreed that he was harmless, he could
not be forgiven for his familiarity.
When an American who has risen from
the dust of cattle trails attempts to
cross the gulf separating him from
British aristocracy his audacity- must
be resented. The ring" had planned
to go up the Nile by steamer Berths
ware secured and the steamer was
ringing her bell for 'all aboard" when
Colonel Joslyn walked up the gang
plank He had also decided to go up
: the Nile.
For Gawd's sake!'' gasped Sir
George as he recognized the man.
"Parbleu! but re American!" growled
the Marquis.
Bonner und bitten! but he vhas
here!" muttered the attache as he
tugged at his mustache and gave 1t a
fiercer appearance.
Hello, you folk!" shouted the colonel
as he reached the deck. Il heard that
! the Nile beat the Missouri River all
holler as a stream, and I'm going up
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1905-05-28

restrained him. He simply sat bolt up
right and glared. The colonel tried to
go on. but even he was nonplused. BY
and by the attache got up and walked
away. AS he moved off his looks and
bearing indicated that he had never
heard OF Colonel Joslyn of Dakota, or
Of the United States of America. They
We're as nothing to him.
Was that snub or wasn't it?"
questioned the man from Dakota as he
reiighfed his cigar stub. mo, it
couldn't be. AS he can't talk English,
ana I can't talk German. there is no
snupDing about it. He has just taken
my words to heart and gone off to pom
der over them"
DAY or SO passed and then Colonel
Josiyn started In again to break up
the ring" The Widow .woeburn
chanced to be on deck alone. she
happened to drop her handkerchief
ana the colonel happened to catch it
pelore 1t blew overheard. As he re-
turned IT he lifted his hat and said /:
lame mighty near losing my hat
IN the same puff. Going as far as
Alexandria ?"
y AOOrAC0 S1l llliLl III dSlOu-
ishment and he fastened to introduce
himself and add:
You must be lonesome in such a
queer crowd. I've tackled three of
the men and III be hanged If I can
tumble to EN-. should think they'd
want TO have good time
Having thus delivered himself he
coolly sat down beside the lady and
asked her II she had ever been in the
: United States. and If so what she
tnougnt OF the people. Before she
could reply-or administer snub-
the rest OF the ring" arrived in a
BODY. They were astounded at the
SITUATION Some smiled and some
glared, but it was the Hon. James
Biackman who retreated few PAGES
ana Deckoned for the colonel to APP
before.
Sir," began the honorable as the
Dakota man drew near, lis there any
particular reason why you desire to
make the acquaintance of any one of
our party?"
Well. no desperate reason replied
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1905-05-28

Don't understand, Ell? Well, It
don't matter much. 1 was just going
to ask if there was anything worth
seeing. If you could talk English I'd
also ask you who that girl is you were
walking about with. I'll be hanged IL
she isn't the perfect picture of the
Widow Taylor's daughter Hetty. I've
peen little sweet on Hetty for year
or two past and when first saw you
with that girl my heart jumped into
my mouth"
The Marquis bit his lip and smiled
and shook his head and walked off,
but If he thought he had snubbed
Colonel Joslyn he was mistaken. AS
he could not speak English and as the
colonel could not speak French, how
could there have been a snub?
1t was two or three days before an
other attempt was made to break up
the ring" Then the colonel met
Brittman in the smoking room. The
situation was palmer now, and there
was fatherly twang in the colonels
tone as he said:
Look here, mister, want to say a
word or two for your own good. It's
seloom mix up In anybody's rows, but
hate to see man fighting without a
fair show
who you vhas?" asked the attache
with considerable dignity, but not half
as much as he might have assumed had
not the Widow Woeburn refused him
an hour before.
Names Joslyn, OF the u. s. A., and
I'm doing little trotting around alone.
/ see you belong to that little ring but
you are simply throwing your time
away"
The attache could not make out the
colonel's meaning until the case had
been gone over again and again. Then
he was furious. It was bad enough for
a stranger to approach him in that
blunt fashion, but for the same man to
mix up his love affair and give him
fatherly advice was beyond endurance.
He wanted to swear and pound on the
table and tell the colonel what he
thought Of him, but his good breeding

AlCED9Ml'S LAWN PARTY.
A Lawn Party and Musicale
That Will Not Be Soon
Forgotten.

A large and neatly-;4ttired as
semblage gathered at the home of
Mr.. Robert II. Forrest to attend
the lawn party and musicale for
the benefit of Macedonia Baptist
Church. The grounds were hand
somely decorated and illuminated
with Japanese lanterns. AT the
outset it looked as if the affair was
going to be somewhat of frost,
but after 8 o'clock things began
to brighten, and by 9 o'clock
everything was in full swing.
every one was talking TO his or
her -ne;;ghbor and tire result WAS
that after the last plate of ice
cream was sold and the lemonade
bucket ran dry, one and all ac-
knowledgcd that they had at
tended one of the most enjoyable
affairs of the season. The man
agement displayed good Judgment
from start to finish. The ice
cream stand was presided over by
Mrs. Forrest and Mrs. Capt.
Hammond. Mr.. Forrest looked
after the sheckles. The ladies
who attended to the wants of the
patrons were the Misses Lizzie,
Marion and Susie Forrest, Miss
Anna Lee Hodges, Miss Ruby
Ashberry and Miss Annie Richard
son. Among the ladies who at
tended and who seemed to be
immensely pleased were Mrs.
AthertOn, Mrs. John Reyes, Mrs.
Maggie Shawn. Miss Mamye
Hudgins. Miss Lulu Hodges and
Miss Edith Keyes. Mrs. Ray
MattoX, who is a gifted elocu-
ZIONIST, gave several comic recita-
tons. Mrs. Hawkins played a
number of selections on the vio-
lin and the Misses Lizzie and Susie
Forrest played the piano and sang
a number of songs. Bro. Forrest
said the Sunday previous to the
party that it was for purpose OF
securing lights for revival services
which are to take place under the
management of Brother Snyder
beginning Sunday, Sept. 10, and
as we are certain that the pur-
pose has been attained. we sup
pose that next week their new

JAPAN RUSSIAN TREATY.

The conclusion of peace be-
tween Japan and Russia, which
now seems assured, is a triumph
OF American genius, American
diplomacy and American perse-
verauCe. We would not attempt
10 belittle the distinguished and
characteristic part played by
Theodore Roosevelt.
The magnetism and personality
of the man must be marvellous,
and to those qualities in the indi-
vidual much of the success of the
Peace Conference is due.
But Roosevelt is the typical
and representative American the
qualities possessed and displayed
by him as the Nations Chieftain
is but the expression of national
broad common sense
and diplomacy, and American
perseverance and frankness.
We believe that the head of no
other great nation, no matter II
he were as accomplished, as bold,
as frank and as resOurCeful an IN
diyiduaI as our President, could
have surmounted such difficulties
and achieved such results as the
head of the United States Gov
eminent.
All honor to Roosevelt, the
man. and all honor to the United
States, the great Republic.

It seems that our penal institu-
tions are always in need of expert
bookkeepers. Every time we hear
of some prominent banker or fin
ancier being sent to the peniten-
tiary for dishonesty, we hear also
few days later that the prisoner
has been put to work as a book
keeper in the warden's Office. 1t
always happens that the new book
keeper is man who plunged to
the extent of Millions and lived
like prince while he was busy
getting away with other peoples
money. One is compelled to Won
der why 1T seems necessary to have
80 many kookkeepers at peniten-
tiary, and why it is that the above
described class of prisoners always
furnishes the necessary men.

RICH POLICEMEN.

INHERITED wealth.. :" Mr.. w. K.
Vanderbilt once said in an inter-
view, "is death to ambition. "
Nevertheless: Policeman Simon
Blumel, of the East Eighty-eighth
Street Station, New York, having
news of 100000 which is perhaps
coming to him through the will
of deceased uncle, announces
that he shall stick to the force,
cts a good job" says he, "and
| want to do something so I wor t
get rusty"
With his 100000, however, Blu
mel will be far srom the richest
man who has continued in the po-
lice rank and file. Patrolman
Wolcott, of Oak street, collects
rents from forty tenants of his
1852, 900 property in Flatbush.
Patrolman Thomas O'Rourke, re-
tired when Mr.. Roosevelt was COM
missioner, was worth 100000. 1t
was while he was a patrolman that
former Captain Moynihan laid
the foundations of his 100000
fortune.
Wolcott, O'Rourke, Moynihan
and other shIewd policemen fol-
lowed the course which "Best
Chief" Devery formulated in his
motto, "Put your money in bricks
and mortar" Other things being
equal, this policy seems to prom
Use better than.walting for q chance
inheritance. New York is prob
ably the only town on earth where
the Joyous but boisterous citizen
can experience the supreme felicity
of being arrested by patrolman
worth 100000 or upward.
