A DIFFICULT LINGO.

''When George AIDE wintered in
Egypt, said a Baltimorean, ut amused
him a good deal to see the serious
way in which his fellow tourists took
their smattering of Egyptian archaic
ology, of the Arabic tongue, and of
the ancient Egyptian dynasties. They
had picked up all this fiimsy knowledge
in a week or two's reading, but they
acted as though it was the precious
fruit of lifetime,s study.
"At Assouan one fine day a young
woman from st. Joseph complained
that she could not understand the Ara
bic of her guide. To the crowd that
encircled her she pointed out the
guido-a bent old fellow with a white
beard-and she said bitterly that, after
her thorough study of arabic, it SEEM
ed strange that she and this guide
could not converse.
From the rear of the crowd Mr.
kde called gravely
It's your own fault, Miss Hodson
You should have hired a younger guide
These toothless old ones all speak gum
Arabic.

!. Tales Worth Telling :
MUCH IN LITTLE.

A. J. Ulrich, traffic manager of the
Keystone Telephone Company of Phila-
delphia has taken the word please
from the vocabulary of his exchange
girls. They will hereafter say ring
off" instead of please ring off, call
again" instead of please call again"
and so on.
The word please" Mr.. Ulrich ex-
planned to a reporter, was used in our
telephone business 100000 times a
day. Allowing half a second for its
utterance, that meant daily waste OF
125 hours. Why shouldn't all those
hours be saved, saved for some better
use?"
You know Mr.. Ulrick went on, 81

THE PRUDENT PIPER.

Thomas f. Ryan, the noted financier
was talking about music in the smoke
room of the Deutschland.
Il like all music" he said, except
such native and special sorts as the
tom-tom, the bagpipe or the Indian
hufaa give of"
Speaking of bagpipes, did you ever
notice how piper Frances up and
down as he pipes? ne never sits, he
never stands still, but up and down,
round and round, to and fro he struts
continually.
"A little boy, listening to the weird
sllirl of the bagpipes of a street per-
former, once said to his father:
Father, why does the piper keep
on the move all the time he plays?'
" I can't say, my boy the father
answered, unless it is to prevent any
one getting the range with a cobble
stone.'"

MANsFIELD's REBUKE.

A group of theatrical men were talk
ing in New York about the late Rich
ard Mansfield.
Mr.. Mansfield" said one was a
delightful humorist, a splendid recon-
teur in society, but at the same time
he had a certain proper and becoming
sense of his own dignity, and it never
paid to be unduly familiar with him.
He was, as we all know, rather bald
He resented, from BARRIERS or friends,
any allusion to his badness.
We'll, one night at a party a man
came up behind this great artist, stag
gered him with violent slap on the
back, and exclaimed in a loud, 1ovial,
familiar voice
Hello, Dick. How are you? Every
time I see you you get balder and
balder.'
Mansfield drew himself up. He
1 sneered at the other.
Hello he said Il don't know
who you are, but every time l see you
you get ruder and ruder."

President Shonts of the Interborough

"A public servant does its best to
please the public. AS time passes, it's
service continually improves. Never
theless when the public servant hap

Mr. Shonts smiled. ...bt

PATRIOT BEDE GETS BUSY.
Prevents Deadlock and Possible Ex-
ira Session by Noble Sacrifice.

Representative J. Adam Bede. Of Min
nesota, has proved that he is a patriot
Of the deepest hue by assuming the bur
den of obviating "a deadlock in the con-
ference on the river and harbor bill
thus preventing the possible necessity Of
an extra session.
IN the Senate Mr.. Nelson, of Minnesota,
secured the insertion i'm the bin Of an
amendment appropriating $4,000 for "a
breakwater AZ Duluth Harbor. Against
this Mr. Burton, chairman Of the Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors, resoIuteIy
set his face, and was supported by his
colleagues.
Mr. Nelson Is also something Of "a
fighter, and he planted himself on the
alternative Of his appropriation or an
extra session.
The situation was put before Mr. Bede
who is a member of the House commit
tee and he hurled himself into the breach.
An item he had himself put into the bin
afforded him the means Of pacirication
and accommodation II was an author
iZatiOn for "a survey with view to
dredging the harboT al Duluth. and when
It was suggested that the bin carried
$4,000 for that work. Senator Nelson ex-
pressed himself as satisfied.
So. by smothering his dissemination TO
take money he did not need. and that he
could not spend. Mr. Bede earned the
right TO expect the congratulations OF a
grateful people.

piaint Made TO state Department
by Representative of One of Bel
IigereRts-GOvernme Watching.

The customs authorities at New Orleans
have stopped shipment Of arms and
ammunition intended for Central America.
The supplies were going to either HOndu-
ras or Nicaragua. ana it was upon repre-
sensations from one or the other of these
beiligerent governments that the action
was taken. officials here are reticent. and
it is not clear just 10 whom the munitions
Of war were consigned.
The State Department has received
protests from several representatives OF
both Nicaragua and Honduras concerning
shipments Of arms and ammunition about
10 be sent from American ports to Central
America. II is certain that representa-
tives of both countries are very active
in the United States in making purchases
and having them shipped to their re-
spective armies IN the field. The govern
ment here in dealing with the matter has
a most complex question on its hands. in
yolyng as u does the laws Of neutrality.
whether the government has the right 10
search vessels, whether the arms are be-
ing shipped to Central America or specu-
lation. or whether they have been legiti-
mately consigned to vessel as a purely
commercial transaction.
The State Department has informed all
those who have made protests to seek re-
lief from the district attorneys in the To-
cality where they are. The State De
partment could do nothing without Ru-
thority from the courts.
