Why Lloyd Osborne shlned Shoes Of
Visiting Englshman.

Dinner guests always like to start
Lloyd Osborne talking of the days
when he and Robert Louis Stevenson
lived in Samoa
zone of the most pathetic incidents
that l remember of our life there"
said Osborne occurred during the
visit Of an Englishman. He was so
thoroughly English-so stiffened and
rigid in his Anglicisms-that 1t was
impossible for him to abate one jot
or title of his accustomed formali-
ties. We were living, of course, in the
most primitive fashion-in native huts
taking care of ourselves as best we
could and doing the work we could not
get the natives to do-which was a
great deal. OF these facts the Eng
lishman observed nothing. The world
always must adapt itself to the Eng
lishman-not he to the world. At night
we showed him to the little hut where
he was to sleep. Early the next morn
ing when 1 passed his door-long be-
fore he was awake-I saw his shoes
carefully placed outside for the valet
to polish.
There was no valet, no maid, no
hireling, no slavery. There was moth
ing to serve us but the sun and the
moon and our own hands; but 1 was
so touched by the Englishman's sub
lime faith that an omnipotent Provi-
dence would arrange for the polishing
of his shoes that polished them my
self; and assure you felt impelled
to do good job. In fact, was quite
nervous about it, lest he should not
be satisfied with the effect. I often
have wondered since whom he would
have cursed If my work had not been
we'll done"

CASE DECIDED AGAINST HIM
Attorneys Claim Negro Discharged
From Army Without Proof
of Wrong Doing.

Washington, D. C.-The attorneys
for Oscar W. Reid, one of the negro
soldiers who was discharged from the
army on account of alleged participa-
tion in the Brownsville affray, endeav-
ored Monday to have the supreme
court of the United States advance the
hearing of his case. The case was de-
cided against Reid in the United States
circuit court for the southern district
of New York.
In statement filed with the motion
the attorneys say that "the principal
matter involved is the right of the
president to arbitrarily and summarily
In time of peace to discharge without
honor, without trial before a court
martial or other constituted tribunal of
any sort, a duly enlisted soldier in the

fore his term of enlistment has eX-

on his part
They urge the fundamental interest
and importance in the case as the rea-
son for asking its advancement on the
docket. Attorney General Bonaparte
did not oppose the motion.
