Observation-Disclosures on the
w part of amateur diplomats con-
corning the proper form Of diplomatic
correspondence nearly preclpitated a
war scare in two nations not long
since. 1t was announced that the en-
peror of Germany had deliberately
affronted the United States govern
ment by employing affectionate terms
in addressing President Madriz of
Nicaragua, whom our government had
refused to recognize.
Great and Good Friend" Is the
way the kaiser's letter to Madriz was
commenced. This had sinister sig
nificance to the amateurs. Immedi.
ately the newspapers were filled with
stories that Germany had espoused the
cause Of Madriz; that the Monroe
doctrine had been thrown down and
repudiated by the warlike kaiser;;
also the emperor had been acting
queerly Of late and undoubtedly was
bent on making all the trouble he
could for the United States. After a
little inquiry the war scare faded
away.
I'm all probability" said a state de.
partment official, the emperor mover

Bad Land Title Tangle Is Revealed

Washington, in the early days, by a
very simple process. The territory
mot exceeding" ten miles square was
ceded to the United States govern
meut by Maryland and Virginia and
placed under the authority of three
commissioners, appointed by the presi-
dent. They or any two of them were
required, under the direction of the
president, to survey and by proper
metes and bounds define and limit a
district of territory, and the territory
so defined was established as a perma-
nent seat Of the government of the
United States. Power was given the
commissioners to purchase or accept
land on the eastern side Of the Poto-
mac, for the use of the United States.
and the commissioners were further
required to provide suitable buildings
for the accommodation Of congress,
the president and public officers Of the
government OF the United States. 1t
was to raise money to erect the pub
lie buildings that the government
planned to sell its land to private par
ties.
No sooner had the capital city been
laid out than land spectators ap-
peared On the scene, and as a result Of
their operations, it is asserted, much
land which belonged to the govern
ment illegally passed to individual
owners.

matter of course, and State Game
Warden Nowlin Of Wyoming, who has
led the feeding experiments, says that
the last OF the great elk herds is be-
coming rapidly domesticated. Several
ranchmen in the Rocky mountain coun.
try have conducted private elk pre-,
serves for years. Outside of the pri'
vate elk preserves there are few herds
left in the west.
Barrel Littlefeld, who lives near
Slater, has several hundred elk on his
great ranch. Every season he ships
many ~carcasses Of elk to the Denver
market, besides supplying geological
gardens throughout the country. He
has found it profitable to raise elk for
the market-so profitable that he
abandoned the cattle business years
ago and has devoted himself entirely
10 the raising Of venison. There are
two other elk preserves in northwest.
err Colorado. J. B. Dawson, a Routt
county pioneer, has several hundred
head Of elk on his ranch near Hayden.
The Glen Beulah deer preserve Is an
estate of about 5000 acres near De-
beque, Col. and here n fiEds sew
eral hundred deer and elk roaming
about. Henry Binning, of Cora, Wyo..
has a large Eerd Of elk under enclos'
IRE, and in a report to the government
he shows how easily elk yield to cap
tivity when he states that the en-.
closure in which he keeps the animals
is less than four feet high.
In nearly every state in the Union
the killing of deer is forbidden ex'
ccpting in the fall and during a linn.
tied period. If deer and elk are to be
raised for the market the venson
farmer must be allowed TO kill for the
market. whenever the demand is there.

The dusty road lay long and still
To where 1t broke across the hill;
The weary breeze would come and Int
A puff OF dust. and let 1t drift
Against the haggard clover bloom
That gave but shadows Of perfume,
And on the grass that was as gray
AS ever any dust that day.
The trees stood. thi-sting. lank and lean.
With famine-yellow in their green.
With leaves as shriveled as the HAND
OF some old man who scarce can stand
Because. Of all the years he feels;
The wagons moved With rafting wheels;
The bees with angry huns sailed by.
The birds chirped to the empty sky.
The twilight came without a breath
Of wind, n was as still as death;
And all the night the hot stars glowed
While crickets clacked a crackly ode;
The dawn woke white, and brought a
sense
OF the Sahara's heat intense.
And the thin dogs lay roundabout
With their long. red tongues lolling out.
Then suddenly a breeze laughed by
And tossed a haze against the sky,
And RUNNING. racing dow the hill
Came raindrops. with a subtle thrill
AS when some ripping dance-notes surge
Across the droning OF q dirge,
n brook and river, hill and plain
Leaped UP and sang: THE rain! The
rain!"

Bungling Diplomats Cause Trouble

knew that the note in question was
sent. 1t was a regular routine matter
in the German foreign office and fol-
lowed the ~stereotyped form.
Nations are excessively polite to
one another in their interchange OF
communications. Every letter that
goes out from the state department to
a foreign government has this cere-
monial finish:
Accept, excellency, the renewed as
surance of my highest consideration"
The cermonail letters Of all coun-
tries begin in about the same way.
For instance, all of England's COM
munications begin:
George ", by the Grace Of God. OF
the United Kingdom Of Great Britain
and Ireland, king, defender of the
faith, emperor Of India, ETC."
Nicholas, by the Grace Of God, EN-
peror autocrat of all the Russias, car
of Casan, czar of Astracan, etc., lord
of Plescott and grand duke of Smo-
lenSki. etc."
Germany's letters are very much
like those of Russia, in that they be-
gin by announcing all the titles OF the
ruling potentate. civilian H., by
Gods grace, emperor of Germany and
king of Prussia" ETC., is the way the
present emperor addresses his cere'
monial letters. The emperor writes
with a quill pen, and if n may judge
by his signature on file in the state
department, does not take much time

The Sour-NIilll Fad.

Since Lady Bancroft was made
deathly sick by the sour-milk treat
ment Europe is beginning to realize
what Tip said many moons ago-that
it is a fad, pure and simple. Further
more, there are many people who
cannot continuously take sou milk
without getting some irritation of the
stomach, even gastritis. That is
probably what allied Lady Bancroft.
There was nothing wrong with the
milk, except that her stomach could
not take care OF it.-New York Press.

Female Doctors.

At the annual meeting Of the trus-
tees of the Manchester Royal Infrm-
airy it was decided by a large majority
that women should not be resident
physicians and surgeons. Bishop
Weldon argued that women doctors
were not worth as much as men for
the treatment of all cases. and most
patients disliked to be treated by
womon physicians. There is no such
foolish prejudice here in New York.
