Hs Tried to esstow Il In Charity, but
Il Wont Astray.
Diplomacy doesn't always work, as n
certain kind hearted business man in
West Philadelphia has just found out.
He says that the lesson was cheap at
the price, but at the same time he will
employ more direct methods next time
he wishes to play the philanthropist.
It happened on the subway the 9TH
Or night. He had just closed real
estate deal at considerable profit and
was feeling very generous, so when he
saw a poor woman in a threadbare
dress carefully count out five pennies
for her ticket and saw that it was the
last money in her worn pocketbook
be determined to help her. OF course
it wasn't easy, but the man prides him
self upon being diplomat. So, crum-
pling a dollar bill up in his hand, he
stopped over as If picking something
up and then, holding 1t out to the wo-
man, said:
Madam, here is some money you
dropped" he tried to smile signif-
cantly as he said it, but she didn't
seem to understand and said simply:
"Tain't mine"
you'd better take it," he said. 1T
isn't mine, and it was lying right by
you"
The woman shook her head at first,
then took it slowly out of bis hand and
looked at it gloatingly. The man
smiled, we'll pleased with himself, but
an instant later the woman, seeing a
man looking down at the platform,
rushed up and cried, WAS you look
Ing for a dollar bill7"
II sure was" answered the man
promptly.
"Well, here it u.s." said the woman,
and the man with a delighted "Oh,
thanks!" calmly pocketed the sum and
walked away.-Philadelphia Times.

Eunus, q leader in the Servile war In
Sicily, 100 B. G. He pretended to have
immediate communication with the
gods. When DESTROYS of inspiring his
followers with courage he breathed
flames and sparks from his mouth.
In order to accomplish this feat En-
nus pierced a nutshell at both ends,
and, having filled it with some burn
ing substance, he put it in his mouth
and breathed through 1t. The same
trick is performed today in a more
approved manner The performer rolls

conclusion Of an address on Private

"Some Of our Industrial leaders have

over 20 industrial villages Or suburbs
created by men or corporations who em-
ploy great numbers Of workers The
men responsible for them believed that

GERMANY ASKS
FREE PAPER
Claims Right Now Granted to
Canada
SIMILAR ACTION is TAKEN
BY Other Nations-No Decision to Be
Made by Knox-Will Leave the
Question for Macveagh
and Taft.
SIMILAR ACTION IS TAKEN

Washington, Nov. l5. Following the
verbal representations previously made
TO this government in regard to duties
on wood pulp and printing paper, the
German embassy has sent note to the
state department formally claiming m-
der the favored nation clause of the eX-
isting treaty the same privileges en-
ioyed by Canadian pulp and paper Of
free entry into America, Count Bern
storn. the German ambassador, is at
present in New York and is expected
to take up the subject with Secretary
Knox upon his return to Washington in
the course OF few days. The Ger
man note is purely formal and il sim
ply intended, as explained at the en-
bassy, to save the rights Of the Ger
man exporters.
Several countries have already laid
claim to exemption from the paper and
pulp duties on similar grounds, and 1t
is expected that within q short time
every nation that exports pulp or low
grade paper will have registered at the
state department applications for equal
privileges with Canada. Through John
Norris, the American Publishers associa-
tion has filed with the state department
plea that the application Of these
countries be allowed on the ground that
to require the importers to make test
cases would not be equivalent TO the
immediate" action contemplated in the
favored nation clauses Of the treaties
under which the claims are preferred.
Secretary Knox stated yesterday that
he regarded the matter as one requir-
ing the action OF the president and the
secretary Of the treasury, and il Is evil
dent that he will not act himself unless
instructed to do 50, taking the ground
that the question involved is purely le-
gal and not diplomatic in its present
aspect.
