ner should the ambassadOrial family
fail to live up properly to their posi-
ton. Finally, the ambassador has his
office and his Office expenses to meet.
And so it is terrible thing to be a
poor diplomat. And it is especially
| awkward should one take the place of
man who has been lavish in eXpendi-
ture, When John Hay was ambassa-
dor to England, just before and during
the war with Spain, he spent $4,000
annually in caring properly for the in
terests of the United States. Joseph
ii. Choate, who succeeded Mr.. Hay, is
estimated to have disbursed fully as
much as his predecessor. There is
hardly limit to Mr. Reds eXpendi-
lures. The lowest estimate places the
cost of his representation at $l50.000.
the highest, probably nearly correct,
at $500, 900.
What poor man, or even man of mod
crate fortune, can follow Mr.. Reid? In.
evitably there will be comparison be-
tween his mode of conducting the EN-.
bassy and that of his predecessor. and
the comparison will be to his disad-
vantage. Mr.. Tower has astonished

BORAX IN THE DAIRY

The problem OF keeping sweet all

the slightest faint or hint of staleness

The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy

late SOS Tenor was pitcher for the
Pittsburg and Chicago baseball teams
in turn, and when A. G.. Spalding took
the AllAmeriCan team on trip
around the world he took Tcner along
as one Of the pitchers. Soon after the
start was made, Spalding discovered
that Tener had financial ability, and
he made him the treasurer of the out
fit. During the time they were gone
they visited 23 different countries, and
the money had to be changed almost
as many times, Tener paid for every
thing, and when the team returned to
the United States and his accounts
were audited, it was found that there
was an overplus OF exactly seven
cents. Spalding was so pleased that
he offered Tener a position with his
New York concern. but Tener was
busy forming the Inflated Brotherhood,
and when it collapsed he gave up the
game and went to Charleroi and made
fortune in real estate and banking
there.
