nothing father, wasn't very far "in" the
Diplomatic Service as the Secretary
of the little one-horse Shebang down
| in Guatemala. In the second place, the
idea of any of the Grants raising their
protest against anything that Sartoris
could do is ridiculous. Algernon is q
moody, self-suficient chap. with a very
big idea of the honor conferred on his
mother when his father asked her hand
In marriage and took her to his Eng
lish home to be unhappy beyond en-
durance. He doesn't stack up with
any of the other manly grandchildren
OF our greatest General of all the world,
and he knows he doesn't, and it just
makes him mad. He resigned from the
Army just because he was jealous OF
the advancement of his cousins, while
he himself seemed destined to remain
mediocre, and now he is out again. Gen.
Fred ID. Grant, when asked about the
rumor of family feud, declared that
there is none that he knows of, and said
he did not know that Sartoris was out
till he saw it in print.
Mrs. Bellamy Storer, who got Presi-
dent Roosevelt into a. plight with the
Pope, is one of the women who cannot
be happy unlesS doing something, and
Mrs. Storer is nearly always trying to
do something for the betterment of
mankind. Mrs. Storer's latest fad is
the prevention of tuberculosis. She has
been making a collection of arts and
crafts ceramics for the benefit of the
tuberculosis fund at Saranac Lake.
There is tuberculosis colony there,
and it is in need of funds. DR.. Nicols,
her only son. is a physician at the Sara
mac camp, and he has interested his
mother in the work. The collection is
expressive of Mrs. Storer's fine taste
in art, which was cultivated largely by
her first husband, OF the prominent
Nichols family of Cincinnati. She is
the owner of one of the largest of the
lockwood potteries in that city, and
many pieces of pottery now being
turned out are from her original de-
signs.
There is gentle little rustic of ru-
NOR which portends that the storks will
fly over the White House in the Au-
tumn.
Representative Sulzer. of New York,
instead of staying in Washington TO
meet with the other handful Of men,
bers of the House twice a week. is sky
larking off in Guatemala, where he is
about to become a mining magnate.
They all do it when they get the chance.
The man who howls loudest about
a tight wad terror when he gets control
of lot of stocks and bonds. Mr.. Sui
zer, who glories in his resemblance to
Henry Clay, whose memory he adores,
has secured extensive mining conces-
sions from Manuel Estrada-CabreTa,
the President of the Republic, and it is
said that 1horo prospects of this prop
erty are to be made. Some New York
capitalists are said to be interested in
and the investment Of
American capital in the Republic is ex-
pected.
The Post Office Department has been
using automobiles for collecting mail,
and they do NOT find IT at all economi-
cal, and have about concluded to
change back to horses and humans.
Plans for what promises to be the
most largely attended annual Encamp-
ment of the Commandery-in-Chie of |
the Sons of Veterans, U. S. A, which |
is to be held in Washington Aug. 23 to |
u inclusive, are rapidly nearing COM
pletion
The members of the local Camps
have the matter in hand, and are plan
ming some novel and interesting fea-
lures for the visiting delegates. Head
quarters have been established at the
Arlington.
The French are kicking on giving up
White. They like him. He
has lot of money; he entertains like
well. like an American, which is ahead
of Prince any old time. 1t Is all right,
their liking our rich men; but the
French go on to say that we 'impro-
wise" ambassadors. Now, that is some
thing That we certainly cannot stand. |
1t Is put in very graceful language. but
it really Is tough on us to be told OPEN |
ly that we send abroad good deal of
raw material as ambassadors. Even
IL It is true we do not intend that any
in the newspapers and tell us SO un-
Francis e. Leupp. Commissioner of
Indian Affairs. has resigned, and Rob-
ert G. Valentine, formerly Deputy Com
missioner, has been advanced to the
position Of Commissioner. Mr.. Leupp |
pleaded I'll health as a reason for re-
signing. President Taft accepted the
resignation with letter of regret. hop
ing that Commissioner Leupp would
soon be restored TO health. The Presi-
dent expressed his appreciation of the |
efforts of Commissioner
Leupp in advancing the interests of the
Indian Service"
Sure II Is that them as has gifts"
good deal of the time, anyway. Miss
Mabel BoaIdman. the right arm OF the
Red Cross movement of this country,
who has money to burn, but who
chooses to use II for practical things
and to give pleasure to her friends, is
to be rewarded for her recent splendid
work in Italy. In recognition of the
services which Miss Boardman rendered |
to the sufferers in the earthquake at
Messina, Italy has had made for Miss |
Boardman wonderfully beautiful !
present. 1t Is a magnificent reproduc- |
tion of the ancient Roman civic crown |
as hair ornament. The crown is COM |
posed of oak leaves and acorns, made
of solid gold. 1t will probably give Miss |
Boardman the mischief of a headache |
every time she wears 1t; but what wo- |
man would forego such an experience |
as wearing crown just because il |
makes her headache? The crown is to |
come to Miss Boardman in a character |
istic Roman box of leather, which is |
with the royal coat of arms OF |
Italy, in gold. The crown has the fol- |
lowing engraving upon It:
ITO Mabel Boardman. OF the Ameri- |
can Red Cross, from the Italian Govern
ment as a token of gratitude, 1908
1909"
The crown will be sent TO the Italian
Embassy here for delivery to Miss |
Boardman.
