Fate Of. the Great AUX,

The great aux, a northern diving
bird, used to exist in the arctic regions
also. Now, this splendid bird was Sc
riously handicapped by the fact that
it laid only one egg in a season and
SO could not afford to be slaughtered
at all. But it was hunted and shot
without discrimination. A few sur.
viving hundreds took refuge on a des
olate rock far out to sea, but one fatal
day vessel contrived to land on this
rock, and the crew shot nearly the en-.
tire rookery. Finally nature herself
rose up. There was cataclysm, the
rock sank into the sea, and that was
the last of the great aux.

They Figured In an Amusing Case Of
Mistaken Identity.
It may be doubted if there ever oc-
CURED a more amusing instance Of
mistaken Identity than that afforded
by Theodore Hook, the English humor-
list Of his time, and it all came about
through pair Of boots. Hook was
travelling along the south coast Of Eng
land and arrived in the course of his
journey at Dover.
Allghtlng at the Ship hotel he chang
ed his boots, ordered a slight dinner
and went out for stroll through the
town. Returning at the appointed
time. he was surprised to find the
whole establishment in confusion. A
crowd had collected outside the door
The master Of the house was standing
at the foot of the stairs with two can
dies III his hands, and on Theodores
entrance he walked backward before
him and conducted him into the prin-
cfpal saloon. where all the walters
were standing and magnificent re-
past had been provided. The wit was
much amused at the dignity to which
he had been promoted. but. being an
easy going fellow, made no scruples
and. sitting down, did full justice to
what was set before him. Next day
he signified his intention of departing
and ordered a coach, when, to his as
constituent. carriage and four drove
up to convey him to his destination.
He inquired with some apprehension
what he was to pay for all this gran
deur and was no less astonished than
gratifed on receiving the answer,
Nothing whatever, your royal high
ness He was never more thoroughly
mystifed, but the next night, on tax
ing off his boots. which he had bought
ready made just before he went to
Dover. he found III. S. II. the Prince
of Orange" written inside them. They
had been originally made for the
prince. who was then in England suing
for the hand Of Princess Charlotte,
and notice had been given that all his
expenses while in the country should
be set down to the charge of the gov
ernment.-Minneapolis News.

RUSSIAN AUDACITY.
The Coup That Made Persia Finan-
ciaI VassaI of the Bear.

The Coup That Made Persia Finan-
ciaI VassaI of the Bear.
In 1892 the Imperial Bank Of Persia.
a British institution, lent the Persian
government $2,500,00O on the security
of the customs receipts of the gulf
ports. In 1895 Persia, finding herself
again hard up. desired to borrow &c.
100000 more from the same source
and on the same ample security. But
before the British bankers would grant
the additional loan they must needs
bubble and procrastinate and insist on
still further conditions. Finally, how
ever, $6,25000O of Persian bonds were
underwritten in London. Russia, hear
ing of the affair at the eleventh hour
and ffty-ninth minute, promptly offer
ed Persia much larger loan on much
better terms, and she did no haggling
either. Persia, finding herself in the
embarrassing position of having two
parties suing for her financial hand at
the same time and not daring to Of
fend either of them, thought to es-
cape from the predicament by not bor-
rowing at all.
But so persistently and skillfully did
Russia urge her suit that in 1900 Per-
STA timidly yielded to the ardent WOO
ing and acknowledged her submission
by accepting from Russia a loan of
$11,S75,00O for seventy-fve years, at
the same time agreeing that all pre-
vious loans should be paid off at once
and no more incurred until this one
was discharged without the permission
of the Russian Banque Desprets de
Perse. Within less than month,
therefore, 100000 rubles ($25OO,OOW
were RENTED to London to pay off
the British loan of 1892, thereby free
ing Persia from any British financial
control. There has been no more au-
dacious and successful stroke of diplo-
macy in modern times, for by it Persia
became financial vassal of the bear:

The GobeIin Factory.

The gobelin factory was founded in
1916 by Francis l., who secured Eu-
rope for the artists and the makers of
beautiful things who could bring lus-
ter to the capital of France. Under
his auspices came Leonardo da Vinci,
and he it was who laid the foundations
for the collections of statuary and
paintings that have made Paris ia

was among the least of his undertak-
ings.

a general development work, that is,

there will be larger use of the

The Southern has found that one of

than ever will be paid to this line

The south will be advertised in

'Managua, Nic.--IIeavy field guns
posted on the hills by the Madriz
forces began a bombardment of Mat
agalpa which on February 10 was
taken by the revolutionary army un-
der General Chamorro. Prior to tie
opening Of the bombardment. the
government notified the American
consular agent at that city VIM. III.
Desavfgny so that the non combat
ants could withdraw. Mr.. Desagniyy
protested against the bomba rdment,
which nevertheless was carried out.
The Madriz troops were under com
mand of Gen. La:a, with Gen. Cha
varria and Gen. Porto Carrero sup
porting him. The troops are said to
have numbered about 5000 men.
Subsequently the attack upon the
city was abandoned but It Is likely
to be resumed at any moment. The
situation In Managua is tense and no
one can say what Is likely to happen,
particularly in event of the govern
ment forces failing to defeat the rev.
olutionists. To add to the serious
aspect of affairs at the capital it is
known that t.tere are hundreds here
ready to take part with Gen. Estra-
da and the revolutionary leaders IL
the success is assured. Capt. Constan-
tino Zeans who was in command of
the firing squad at the execution of
the two Americans, Groce and Can
non, was shot to death in the streets
by Nicaraguan soldier. The excite

police and to order reinfcrcements of
