A singular instance of misrepresenta-
ton attends the disposal of the New
Boundland fisheries question. Practically
ell the London papers are giving the full
credit to Sir Robert Bond, the New
Foundland premier, for the decision to
send the controversy to the Hague for
adjudication. The fact is that the Hon.
Whitelaw Reid, the American Ambassa.
dor ct London, first suggested the idea of
arbitration TO Secretary Root when Mr..
Reid was in Washington last winter.
Secretary Root thought well OF the idea
and upon ite receiving the hearty ap-
proval Of the President, Mr.. Reid returned
to London to endeavor, by every proper
diplomatic method, to bring it about.
Diplomacy in London is somewhat pc
culiar affair and Mr.. Reid employed all
the methods known to the most skilled.
His entertainments were the most LAVISH.
his wines OF the finest. He entertained
the nobility and even royalty, and finally
he established his position as ''such a,
good fellow" that it was practically i'm.
possible for 'the powers that be" to re-
fuse his request. Now Sir Robert Bond,
who well knows that there is little equity
in the contentious OF New Foundiand,
sought by every possible means to pre-
vent the case being tried at the Hague
and Mr.. Reid's skillful diplomacy de-.
feated him. Now that Sir Robert has
been signally defeated, he is going around
saying that he was responsible for the
whole thing in manner which reminds
one of a certain once popular picture OF a

his cap and showed me the badge de-

informed me they cost $3.50 apiece.
When we got talking finance Freitas
surprised me. In a gleeful moment he
drew from his breast pocket a wad of
miscellaneous papers, orders, bills. re-
ceipts and what not, and a passbOok
on Market street bank in which stood
the sum of $40 to his credit.
There is more than that the young
financier exclaimed joyfully. i've got
$76, in my safe deposit box in Market
street, and I've been sending money to
mother all along, so I amt doing 50
bad, am I?'' assured Alfred I thought
he was doing remarkably well and con-
fessed that he was richer than I.
You are 17?" I asked.
'Yup|
When is your birthday?"
April the 3D." he answered, and
added with smile: SAY, I just es-
capped being a little fool, didn't I?''
When in the after conversation he
told me his profits were IS to SO per
day after paying expenses, I realized
that the young gentleman had escaped
being little fool by very long chalk.
The same fact was again borne in on
my mind when 1 learned how he had
received. the overtures of man whose
age ran to years of discretion and who
desired to become a partner in the
trust breaking proposition. Alfred
summed it up like this:
1.-The guy came to me and wanted to
go into partnership. Huh! he told me
we could make $4,000 every month easy.
I said, Say, but you are too swift for
me. 1 don't want you for partner. I
guess you'd make money too fast i
don't want any partners
We sat and talked a little longer till
Alfred thought it was time to go home. |
asked where he lived and he told me
over at Fruitvale. He said he liked it |
better that side of the bay, so we said |
good night and he wandered off with |
out offering me his hand. AS he went |
he turned round suddenly and said:
Say, you amt a newspaper guy, |
are you?" and I wondered if the astute |
young brain had seen through my play I
all the time and sized UP the situation /
for a little advertising.
