WHY SIR MORTIMER WAS RE-
 CALLED

When the goYernor-general of Cana da was down here last year on his purely social visit, it was arranged that both sides should ask his ma jesty's permission to deal straight across the border and such an arrange ment would have been made but for the stupidity of the late ambassador, Sir Mortimer Durand. Sir Mortimer is "a chump. He means well, but he does not know how to do anything. He is a great stickler for his rights and prerogatives, and is very tenacious about adhering to the traditional formalities of diplomatic usage, but nothing happens when he is around
 Last spring, when he went to Eng land, hep romised President Roosevelt and Secretary Root that he would ar range with the ministers for the cold nies and for foreign affairs, and the Canadian high commission in London so that the government of Canada and the government of the United States could get together and settle all the questions in controversy, face to face, in short meter, without sending them around through the circumlocution office at London. MT. Root prepared 8 memorandum setting forth the why's and wherefores in order that Sir Nor timer might make clear the advantage and the necessity of such an arrange ment, but when Sir Mortimer went to London he forgot his errand, or he left MT Roots paper in his other coat pocket, or something else happened to put 1t out of his mind so that noth- ing was done; and, when he got back to Washington, he was very much surprised that President Roosevelt and Secretary Root should feel provoked about it. He was also surprised that the Canadians should criticise him for forgetting his principal errand when he went to London.
 There have been a good many ex- plantations of his mysterious retire ment from the diplomatic service of Great Britain. The real reason was that his government didn't want him any more and his failure to comply with the request of our secretary of state and the governor general of Canada may be safely cited as one of the specifieations.-W E. Curtis in Chicago Record-Eerald.

MADE a NEW FASHION.


Old Camden, In his Remains" tells
q good story of trick played by a
knight upon a would-be fashionable
shoemaker. Sir Philip Caltbrop
purged John brakes, the shoemaker
OF Norwich In the time Of King Henry
VIII, Of the proud humor which our
people have to be of the gentlemen's
cut. This knight bought as much fine
French tawny cloth as should make
to be made. John brakes. a shoe
maker. coming to this tailor's and see
ing the knights gown cloth lying
there, bid the tailor buy cloth OF the
same price and pattern and make 1t
of the same fashion as the knights.
Not long after the knight, coming in
to the tailor to be measured for his
gown, and percciying the Ike cloth
lying there. asked whose it was.
John brakes, the shoemaker who
will have 1t made of the self-same
fashion that yours is made Of" Then
make mine as full of cuts as the
shears will make it," John brakes
had no time to go for his gown till
Christmas day, when he meant to
wear 1t. Perceiving the same to be
full Of cuts. he began to swear at the
tailor. II have done naught but what
you bid me-" quoth the tailor. "for
as Sir Philip Calthrop's garment is,
even so have made yours" by my
latchet!" quoth John brakes. Il will
never wear gentlemen's fashions

LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
TRUST.
Responsibilities of Officers and d.
rectors.

Evidently President Kingsley of the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect to the responsible
ity and duty of directors of corpora
lions. Speaking to the new board of
trustees, on the occasion of his cleo
tion to the presidency. he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than private business, that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
of public service and with the respon-
sibilities that attach to a going bust
ness which at the same time must be
administered as trust"
He also realizes that similar respon-
company. 81 understand" he says,
your anxiety in selecting the men
who are day by day to carry this bur-
den for you, who are to discharge this
trust in your behalf, who are to ad-
minister for the benefit of the people
involved the multitudinous and exact
ing details to which 1t is impossible
for you to give personal attention. My
long connection with the New York
Life-covering nearly twenty years
my service in about every branch of
the company's working organization,
gives me, as believe, profound ap-
probation, not merely of the heavy
burden you have placed on my Shout
ders, but OF the standards of efficiency,
the standards of faith, the standards
of integrity. which must be main
tanned at all times by the man who
serves you and the policyholders In
this high Office"
Best of all, perhaps. he feels that
words are cheap, and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short of
performance. MY thanks, therefore,"
he continues, for an honor which out
ranks any distinction within the reach
of my ambition, cannot be expressed
In words; they must be read out of
the record l make day by day"

RICHEST MAN IN WORLD
FACES JUDGE IN COURT
John D. Rockefeller Swears He Knows
But Little About Standard OIL
Company, Of Which He
10 the Head.

Chicago,-John D. Rockefeller. pres
ident OF the Standard Oil company OF
New Jersey, occupied the witness
stand In the United States district
court on Saturday while Judge Lands
piled him with questions regarding the
financial strength and the business
methods of the corporation of which
he Is the head.
Mr.. Rockefeller was a very willing
and an equally unsatisfactory witness.
He was ready to tell all that he knew,
but he said that he. knew practically
nothing. The net result of his exams
ination was that he believed during
Rod covered by the indictments on
which the Standard Oil company of
Indiana was recently convicted, the
net profits of the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey were approx
mately 40 per cent of an outstanding
capitalization of s1OO,O0O,OOO.
The investigation held by Judge
Lands was instituted by him for the
express purpose of determining
whether or not the Standard Oil COM
pany Of Indiana. which was convicted
of violation of the law, was really
owned by the Standard Oil company
OF New Jersey, whether the Union
Tank Line, whose cars were used for
the shipments made in violation of
the law, was similarly owned, and
also to obtain an idea of the financial
resources of the convicted corporation
In order to infiict fine proportionate
to the offense and the assets of the
convicted company.

BERLiN's GLOOMY VIEW.
Widespread Conviction That Conflict
viii Come.


Berlin.-The conviction of an ulti-
mate conflict between Japan and the
United States appears to be wide
spread In Germany. 1t is one of the
subjects certain to be referred to
wherever diplomatists and military
naval officials and others accustomed
to follow international politics meet.
The newspapers agree that President
Roosevelt is earnestly trying to salts
fly the Japanese requests. They agree
also that Japan asks nothing unrea-
sonable They recognize that the diff
ficulty lies in the question of race, the
economic antagonism of the Califor-
mans against the Japanese and the
constitutional impossibility of federal
coercion.
1t is believed by many that the
group of ruling statesmen in Japan
are preparing to fight the United
States for the mastery of the Paci-
fic, regardless of the San Francisco
incidents.
The stragetgists of the admiralty re-
gard a naval war between Japan and
the United States as the most interest
ing problem of the day. Careful
studies that have been worked out
are unfavorable to the United States,
because the American fleet, although
Of greater power than that Of Japan.
would have to seek fight in Japan's
home waters.

A NEW SCHOOL DESK.
Provides Support for the chlId's Back,
Where Il 10 Most Needed.

In the belief that proper seating
facilities play an important part In
the welfare of school children, George
w. Ehler. supervisor OF physical
training, and Director OF Schools
Charles Orr worked until they have
perfected what they believe is the
best seat and desk in the country.
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The seat is constructed according to
Ehlers own plans and is based upon
an exhaustive set of measurements
made by him last year in the schools.
1t provides support for the child's
back, where it is most needed at the
base of the spinal column and the
small of the back. Another strong
point Is that the seat proper Is pitched
backward only slightly, keeping the
body at restful angle. Both seat
and desk are adjustable The new
desks are being installed in all the
new buildings and grow in favor
wherever put.
Until the perfection of Ehler's i'm
proved seat there were two forms Of
desk used in the schools. The first
was the old-fashioned desk, not ad-
Unstable at all, and made in unvary-
ing sizes for the different grades. 1t
presupposed that all children in the
same grade would be of size.
Then came the so-called "liver-pad"
desk. The back of the seat In this
style of desk consisted of a single
concave rest, to be placed at that
point where the childs back most
needed support. This was faulty in
two respects. In the first place il
was narrow and held the childs body
In vise-like grip and in the second II
gave support at only one point, where
as the spine requires support at sew
eral points.

THAT RARE ANIMAL, MAN.
Seldom Caught Before 8 O'Clock in
London, Never in Day Time.

Time was when London was one of
the capitals where man could be dis
cerned with the naked eye in the day
time; but now he Is almost invisible
except at certain favored spots in the
city and few eclectic clubs at Pail
Mall
There was period considerably
later than the stone age, when this
interesting but rare creature was to
be observed, feeding quite tamely, at
literary and political breakfasts. Later
on, he was still to be enticed by fair
hands to lunch parties, and was some
times found lowering near the tea
table OF some beautiful and expert
tanner between five and seven.
But with the new century this rare
creatures habits have altered most
completely for he Is seldom to be
caught before eight p. m. on week
days, and has a habit, moreover, of
retiring to remote haunts and OBJ
scure thickets from Friday night till
Monday afternoon.
1t has been observed that the
younger and best bred specimens ex-
hfbit a curious dislike both to the
immature and elderly females of their
kind. but have been known to show
marked animation when enticed by a
young and comely matron, and will. on
these occasions, approach without
fear. and even feed out. of her hand
