Oven the relenranh

This story Of officialism first saw
the light a few years ago. 1t tells
how a peculiar Geographic cores
pondence Was carried on between
Saxony, Bohemia and Russia. Some
one in Dresden had a maiden aunt,
who was taken i'll and died in the hos
pital at Prague while on her way to
Vienna. The nephew was notified and
he tclegraphed to the Prague authori.
ties to send the body to Dresden for
entombment in the family vault.
When the coffin arrived and was
opened it was found to contain, not
the body of his aunt, but that of a
uniformed and bedizened Russian gen.
eral. Immediately the nephew tele.
graphed to Prague:
mo dead aunt, but Russian general.
Where is dead aunt?"
From Prague came the reply:
If dead aunt not arrived, then Pc
tersburg."
The next telegram went to the rail-
way authorities at st. Petersburg,
and read:
What do with Russian general:
Where is dead aunt?"
And from st. Petersburg was re-
ceived the reply:
Bury general in silence. Aunt just
buried hero with highest military
honors."
