JARRED THE SULTAN.


Have Given Abdul Hamid u.
When General Lew Wallace was the
American plenipotentiary in Constan-
tinop!e he saw Abdul Hamid II. at
close quarters-too close for comfort
really-but his Involuntary inspection
was decidedly convincing as to the
sultan's timidity.
1t seems that from the day Of his
presentation to the sultan the general
had grown In favor at the court and
was frequently commanded" to attend
merely from the personal liking OF
Abdul Hamid for the American minis
ter and the enjoyment Of conversation
with him. In those days the sultan
was particularly vexed over affairs in
Egypt He felt that Egypt was his
personal property. yet England had
taken the control Of the country out
Of his hands entirely. She had hardly
said "by your leave" but had "ad-
vised'' him that for the good Of Egypt
he. Abdul Hamid IL. had better let
her and then had gone ahead.
He had accepted the advice because
he had nothing to say no. with.
Without a deet what could any one
say to England? This forced acquies-
cence worried the sultan continuously
until he could not endure longer with
out madness. In his distress he sum-
moned General Wallace and described
to him in detail his humiliatinH condi-
ton.
The general listened with friendly
sympathy. and the sultan. being 70
lieved in thus talking in confidence to
a man whom he knew to be sincere
and altogether free from selfish inter.
ests. asked the minister what he could
do under the circumstances. General
Wallace said that he appreciated the
trust and confidence Of the sultan, but
that, being the representative odiciai-
~ Of the United States Of America. he
could not advise the ruler Of another
country as to what steps that ruler
should take against q third power. e.
pecially when this third power was on
friendly terms with his own country.
The sultan acknowledged the cor.
rectness Of this position. but besought
the general to make an exception. say
ing that there was no other man in
the empire to whom be could 60 fot

ed advice. But the general repeated
that he could not be false to his duty

Then said the sultan. Tell me a. q
private Individual; tell me as a friend"
This appeal touched General Wallace
deeply. and he said, "As friend. then
and a private citizen. will say this
that we're l in the position you have
described to me I should put myself
at the head Of my troops and fight Il
the bitter end"

les, Not Soldiers.
Until the time Of Charles XII. Of
Sweden the artillery was not consid-
cred a part of the army. The men
serving in it were not soldiers. but re-
garded as mechanics. The officers had
no army rank. Charles XII. gave ar
tillery officers a rank and regularly
organized the artillery into companies.
The battle Of Pavia demonstrated the
superiority Of the gun in the hands Of
the Spanish infantry. The musket car
ried a two ounce bali and sometimes
brought down At one hre two or three
mailed knights. The French sent q
dag Of truce to demonstrate against
the use Of such barbarous weapons.
Alexander had four kinds Of cavalry

OPPORTUNITY.

Is America still the land OF Oppor-
tunity?
Freddie Gels of Des Moines, aged
seventeen, capitalist and promoter,
says it is.
He started eight years ago selling
newspapers and has just bought a
home for his people, paying therefor
$4,000 In cash.
Freddie's father deserted his family,
leaving a sick wife. an old grand
mother and two children to the cold
mercies of the world.
That was why Freddie started out
at 5 o'clock that first cold morning.
eight years ago. to sell newspapers.
his cash capital consisting Of cents.
1t is rather hard on young lad to be
hustled out Of bed at that hour winter
and summer.
For a long time Freddie's stock in
trade was contained in a canvas bag.
After awhile he pre-empted a street
corner. He had to fight to hold down
his claim" Of course. 1t was a ques-
ton Of the survival Of the ittest.
Freddie is Irish and won out.
Now he has a regular stand with
newspapers from all over the country,
besides the magazines.
Young Gels is enterprising, and along
with his persistence he employs tact
and politeness.
He Is always alert to catch the at
tention Of his customers and knows by
name thousands Of people. When he
cries Paper, LADY," his hand invaria-
bly, goes to his cap.
One Of the big forces behind Freddie
is the stanch old Irish grandmother.
The mother is not strong. but the
grandmother Is forceful character.
The young man loves his mother, but
he banks on the grandmother, and they
do some great team work.
1t is said when the deed to the home
was turned over to the little family

FAILS IN ITALIAN.
Bernara shaw's Plays Were Not Suc-
 ceaafuI

Bernara shavv's Plays Were Not Suc-
 cessfuI.
 Rome, April 1.-The experiment of producing two of Mir. Bernard Shaw's plays in Italian has just been made at the Argentina Theatre here. The two plays selected were Mrs. Warren's Profe ssion" and Arms and the Man. the latter under the Italian tile L'Eroe ("The Hero.e) While the former was moderately well received. the latter has proved to be one of the greatest failures ever seen on the Italian stage. This result was only to be expected. for the Italian sense of humor differs somewhat from the corresptS ding Eng fish sense. Arms and the Man" has. indeed been regarded in Rome as of fering a studied insult to the profes- sion of arms. despite the fact that Bernard Shaw's clever skit on the Serbo- Bulgarian war of 1885 made Lou- don playgoers laugh so heartily some years ago.
 Another frequent cause of the fall ure of modern English plays here is the lack in Italy of that upper middle class which forms the backbone of the English drawing room comedy. Thus the Italian public cannot understand the manners and customs of a world different from its own.
