that would exist between the repre-
sentatives of conqueror and van
pushed.
The high art of diplomacy, that so
we'll masks the innermoSt thoughts of
those who rise to the heights of an
ambassador, doubtless viewed the So
cial intercourse between Baron Rosen
and Niscount Aoki as most natural.
But to the uninitiated the part of the
host taken by one-Baron Rosen-
who acted as Russia's peace envoy,
lent peculiar glamour to the occasion.
The treaty of peace between Japan
and Russia marked the close of one of
the |bloodieSt wars of history. The
dinner given by Baron Rosen in
honor of the representative of the
victorious Japan goes farther. in that
it takes up social intercourse upon Il
plane exactly as though war had never
been waged.
Those who We're present at this
most interesting social function were
the Minister from the Netherlands and
Nine. van S%Winderen, the Counselor of
the Japanese Embassy and Nine.

Thomas Jenerson's Bible.

The jefferson Bible. with its beauti-
flu! red Morocco binding, made no little
trouble in the House While It was 4
single forgotten volume reposing under
lock and key at the Smithsonian InSti-
tuition. Now that it has been photo
graphed and reproduced in numerous
copies, the little volume has multiplied
care for the Senate. Hardly IA man of
the ninety but has had thousands of
requests for the book. and more are
coming in by every mail.
1t seems that some enterprising bust
ness man advertised the Jefferson
Bible prominently in a well-knoWn
magazine. He announced that it could
be had for nothing if n would write
to ones Senator or Member of Con
gress, concluding his advertisement
with the further statement that he had
gone to considerable expense in having
the advertisement printed, and hoped
readers would turn to his business an
nouncement on another page.
So it is that requests are rolling in
upon Senators especially, for the pub
lie seems to have taken the idea that
they are more legitimate prey than
gentlemen at the other end of the
Capitol. Each Senator's quota is but
thirty copies. and the only good way
out of the dilemma appears to be to
print more, Just is Congress has done
with the horse book and other popu-
lar Government publications. Better
send for n before the Sc, nnd reprint
is all distributed.
