not a lot of sea air even by the sea-

They sent the mercury down few
pegs. dripping real rain over wooded
territory that did not need 1t as much

saw no other storms, but they felt
them, and said that there doubtless

For half an hour the breeze came

Foreign born Son.

Washington, ID. c. July 1o.-Jrhe pc
culiar inconvenienoes OF an American
diplomat becoming a father In a for
eisn land are set forth In official dis
patches to the State Department Just
printed as part of the Foreign Rela..
tions of the United states for 1907
The diplomat Is Charles D.. White. the
charge at the American legation at
Buenos Ayres. but now secretary OF the
legation at Havana
Early in 1907 Mr.. White wrote to the
department. that he was desirous OF
having permanent record made In the
United States of son born to Mrs
White and himself August I, 1905. He
confessed his ignorance OF just how
to prepare such a record. but he for
warded certified copy OF the Argen-
tine record OF the birth.
Robert Bacon, then acting Secretary
OF state and now ambassador tc
France, was called upon to advise the
patriotic father.
Common notoriety and the ready
proof OF the fact in case of need are
all that arc necessary" he wrote tc
the charge, and attached the seal OF
State. incidentally, Nfr. Bacon called
the attention OF the charge to the fact
that the father was in the diplomatic
service, but In reality treats the child
as an Argentine citizen" The reports
contain nothing about the further ac-
tton of Mr.. White.
