The DipIomaslst.

It used to be said that diplomatist
was man who was sent abroad to lie
for his country. To-day 1t would be
much nearer the truth to say that a
diplomatist is man who Is sent
abroad to tell the truth for his coun-
try. A most interesting account has
recently been given of the petition for
better treatment of the Jews, and the
protest against the Kishinef massa-
cres. In order to crafty the signers
of the petition, the state department
forwarded it to Ambassador McCor-
mick at st. Petersburg, although well
aware that the Russian government
could take no official cognizance of it..
When the paper was laid on the table
before Count Lamsdorf, he said, "You
know l cannot receive this." Then,
according to the story which is re-
ported by Golfers. Mr.. Mccormick re-
piled, LET us talk for few minutes
as man to man. You are Count Lams-
dorf, and am not an ambassador, but
merely Mr.. Mccormick. The time has
come when you can no longer disre-
gard public opinion. The whole world
is aroused. Do me the great favor,
personally, of keeping this for two or
three days. Then If you are still Of
the same mind, send 1t back to me,
and no more will be said" In the end
Count Lamsdorf showed the petition
to the czar who was sufficiently i'm
pressed by it to ameliorate somewhat
the condition of the Jews.

TALES OF HORROR
FROM THE NORTH cARoLtNx
t.iLl COUNTRY
Diseased Mind o. FratrIcide We've
( Tor Himself Z Fsrful Punishment
--sittIns for Hours with
silent Ghost.

y "a
"A man pamed Shelton Of Cherokes
county iii the mountains Of North
Carolina, few years ago in some
drunken brawl killed his own brother.
Escaping somehow the punishment OF
the law; he was given over to the
horror OF what he had done and from
his own mind wove for himself
frightful punishment. He believed
and asserted as q fact that every
night hair was drawn from, his head
by his slain brother, coming through
the night from the unseen regions OF
the hereafter for that purpose. 1t ID
a known fact that Shelton did become
bald little by little until not hair
was left; and some Of his neighbors
believed IN the nightly visitation OF
the dead man as firmly as the slayer
himself. No explanation was onered
and no deductions were made, That
nightly coming, the silent plucking OF
the hair, and the departure were &C
cepted stoically as a thing actually
and undoubtedly happening and part
or the mans regular life and expert
ence. Shelton died recently after hav-
ing allowed himself with his gro
tesquely barred head to be exhibited
In a tent through Xnountain hamlets
as ."The Modern Cain, and the local
newspapers recall his story.
It was another mountaineer, living
many miles from Shelton and de-
barred of any possibility OF knowing
about him, who told the mountain
girl he was about to marry that she
must reconcile herself to nightly
Visit from man he had killed. who,
he said, walked to his bedside and
sat with him an hour after mid
night. The stout-hearted bride mar
ried in firm expectation Of the ghostly
vigil at her couch and, according to
her sworn evidence in court, elected
incidentally in the trial of another
case and in the presence of an audi
ence Of Mortified, stiffened and breath
less mountain people, she was not dis
appointed She swore that regularly
every night the murdered man Kept
his tryst, and that she and her groom
lay awake and looked at him. 1t was
another man of this same neighbor-
hood who committed murder and
undertook to dismember and hide the
body Of his victim. He told his friend
that while he was carrying the sew
cred head in a bag over his shoulder
across a certain wide hill where the
broom hedge was growing in the late
autumn, the head suddenly began TO
whistle a tune which was a favorite
with the dead man.
What morbid poet or romancer
could conceive more CHASTITY thought
than this-the severed head, emitting
suddenly the whistling OF d lively
tune, on bleak broom hedge hillside
in the solitude OF an autumn midnight
with the moon looking coldly down!
