Pres. Vincent on SeIfishness.

President George Vincent of the
University of Minnesota, was talking
about selfishness at the banquet of
the Milwaukee Transportation club a
week or so ago. He said that every
one is actuated by some kind of sci.
fishness, but that some acted from a
higher form of selfishness than the
woman who was too proud to ride in
a cheap automobile.
This lady lived in a section of the
city where every one of her neighbors
rode in a high priced car" said Mr.
Vincent "This good lady was quite
unhappy about her situation and kept
ut her husband day and night to buy a
big machine.
"One day she was particularly in.

When Will Irwin, the writer, lived
In San Francisco. he had friend who
was the captain of a small trading
schooner that used to visit the most
remote corners of the south seas.
Once when he came home after long
voyage he told Irwin this story:
He said that he landed at little
island of the Friendly group where no
white men had been seen in a dozen
years or more. The chief with his
wives and his whole tribe came to the
beach to greet the strangers.
There was the customary palaVer
and exchange of gifts and then the
chief seemed to be struggling with a
question Finally the interpreter was
able to make out what the chief was
trying to say.
"He wants to know" the Interpreter
translated, whether you come from
the land of American"
Tell him yes" said the trader, sur
prised that this naked savage had
ever heard of other countries
The chief nodded that he understood
and jabbered some more.
"He wants to know now" said the
Interpreter, whether John L. Sulli-
can is still king of America ?"-Phila-

1897, which post he held for nine
years. When Mr.. Dudley arrived
in Peru relations between that country
and Chile were very much strained,
and 1t was largely due to his efforts
that war was averted. During his in
cumbency the trade between this
country and Peru was largely in
creased.
In the diplomatic shake-up of 1906,
following the Belamy Storer- Roose-
welt episode, Mr.. Dudley was given
the ambassadorship to Brazil Here
his influence in promoting friendly
feelings between the largest of the
South American countries and the
United States was particularly vau-
able. Although Mr.. Dudley was APP

legal residence in San Diego, he made
his home with his brothers in Evans,

was in this country.
Mr., Dudley felt that his health was
failing last summer and he decided to
come to this country to consult physi-
clans. Accompanied by his wife and
daughter, he arrived in New York Oc-

Johns Hopkins hospital, at Baltimore,
where he remained for two weeks.
After a brief stay in Washington he
returned to the hospital, where he un.

his death.
Mr.. Dudley was born in Jefferson,
