Train? Train? George Francis

This ignorance kept the man quiet
fifteen minutes. Then he said:
what DO you think about General

you think they will run him?"
Grant? Grant? Hang it, man.''
said Ward, you appear TO know more

Ambassadors Are Exempt From Ar

Quaint etiquette and strange laws
are associated with the position Of an

difference between an ambassador and
q minister Is rather one Of person than
of power, since both are accredited
plenipotentiaries. The ambassador rep

the minister represents the government.

a minister only takes rank after duke.
corded precedence among themselves
according to the dates of their appoint
meEts, and their wives enjoy the same
privileges. In Rome q curious bit OF
etiquitse obtains. In a "black" house
the plenipotentiary accredited to the
quirinal takes precedence of his col
league at the vatican, while in a
"wt;ter house the converse rule Is OBJ
served.
An ambassador cannot be put up"
and balloted for at a club; he must be
invited to join, and in the leading clubs
a Iule empowering tie committee to
issue such invitations is generally
found. When a sovereign or a member
of the royal house deputed by him
visits q foreign country the embassy
becomes his private residence and the
ambassador is, pro tem., officially ex-
tlngrished.
The representatives of foreign powers
enjoy various curious privileges. The
embassy or legation Is to all intents
and purposes piece of the country
which it represents and its occupants
are not amenable to the ordinary laws

Variation, that wonderful law of

chief factors In evolution, must be

methods, and it Is especially in the
study of variation In marine animals
and plants that the floating laboratory
offers to Investigators advantages not
before open to them.
Prof. Charles L. Edwards, to whose
years Of study and thought the concep-
ton of the enterprise is due, will go as

any other university, college or institu-
ton Of learning, will be invited, so far

Of the sea can be reached from top to

small part of the sea life. There are
the crabs and Holsters, the CLAIMS and

bought half dozen of the principal
poets on the dollar a week idea, and
then she started furnishing the new
house with dollar week down. The
first month it certainly seemed as if
her rooms were going to get filled for
nothing. To be sure, some of the ar
ticles were a little tawdry-not in the
best taste, perhaps-but, as Mrs. Jones
explained, she had to take that par
ticular color and design because they
didn't have any others in hand. And

Well, the second month came around

seemed, wanted more money.
In the end his visits came to be per-

gust, after finding out the total amount,
went TO the bank, drew $500 and set

The English Equivalent of the Word

What is the correct meaning of the
term creole? OF course, you know, or
at least you think you know. 1t is a
term Of peculiarly American signifi-
canoe and is In such common use
among us that everybody knows what
ii means-to them, but the trouble is
that it does not mean the same to ev-
erybody.
A party of young men was dlsput-
ing in regard to the exact meaning 81
the word creole" some few evenings
ago and a newspaper man was called
upon to give his definition of it. He
did so and found afterward that quite
diversity of opinion existed among
those present, but majority seemed
to agree that the term did not apply
particularly to persons of color. 1t
would seem tat there should be
common understanding of the correct
meaning of the term in such common
use, especially In this section. For the
benefit of its many readers the News
prints the definition as given by both
Webster and Worcester, either of which
should be good authority anywhere in
the United States. Here is the definl-
ton according to Webster:
Creole, n. CIR. creole, from Sp.
criollo, meaning properly created.) l.
One born in America or the Welt In
dies of European ancestors. . One
born within or near the tropics. Note
The term creole negro Is employed in
the English West Indies to distinguish
the negroes born there from the At
ricans imported during the time of the
slave trade. The application of this
term to the colored people has led to
an idea common In some parts of the
United States, though wholly unbound
ed, that it implies an admixture great
or or less of African blood. "-R. Hill
ireth.
The same according to Worcester:
Creole, n. It creole; Sp. criollo; FIR.
creole) A native of Spanish America
or the West Indies, born of European
parents or descended from European
ancestors, as distinguished from resi-
lent inhabitant born In Europe, as well
as from the offspring of mixed blood, as
the mulatto. born of negro mother,
and the mestizo, born of an Indian
mother. N. B.-The Spanish and Por-
tuguese apply the term to the blacks
born In their colonies, never TO whites.
n. B.-"The word creole means ma.
tive of "a West Indian colony, whether
be be black, white or of the colored
population. "-Carmichael. A reference
note in Webster says that the Spanish
word "criolio," from which the French
got the word creole" Is contraction
Of the word "crladillo." the diminutive
Of "criado." meaning created. Thus 1t
will be seen that Of the two words,
French creole and Spanish criollo, the
true English equivalent is creature
