GRAVE CAUSE FOR DISPUTE
Romanticists and Others Have oppor-

Happening.

The Winans will has upset the the
ory Of the cynics that romance is dead

daughter who receives fortune OF
100000 just for being kind to an old
man. In all her dreams of the future
she never thought of being able to
present to the Prince Charming that
would eventually come along such q
prjncely dover. She went about her
work delivering the milk and cream
from her fathers dairy, little think
ing that the old gentleman. who year
after, year was her fathers guest,
was all along planning to make her
rich heiress as reward for her lit
tie kindnesses. The picture is idyllic.
Unfortunately. some Of the rightful
heirs Of the deceased multimillionaire
fail to see the poetry of 1t and have
already given notice of contest.
There is son who has been cut of
with a paltry 100000 and there are
two grandchildren who have been en-
tirely forgotten. In the case OF the
son the will is particularly significant,
since the relative smallness of the
amount can be traced to the fathers
disapproval of a marriage that was
wholly romantic. The cynics may still
claim that their contention is support.

sHREwD IDEA OF DIPLOMAT
Whore Russian OFFICER Of Embassy
Proved More Than q Match
for Abdul Hamld.

D.plomatists abroad tell how dis
tinguished member Of the Russian
corps diplomatique cleverly outwitted
Abdul Hamid, the late Sultan of Tur-
key. The Russian displayed curious
Ingenuity in introducing the business
of his country in the guise of personal
pleasure. fi
1t appears that the Sultan had abso-
lutely refused to grant an audience to
any member Of the diplomatic body at
Constantinople and that during the
period in question Abdul Hamid spent
the greater part Of his time in cock
lighting, an amusement whereof he
was passionately fond.
The Russian heard that his impeBlal
majesty stood in need of fresh birds
to supply the place Of those killed in
fight, whereupon the willy Muscovite
procured a fine-looking white fowl Of
the barnyard species, caused 1t to be
trimmed and spurred to resemble
gamecock, and sent it in richly deco
rated cage to the Sultan.
The ruse was successful, but the
Sultan. at first delighted with the gift,
soon sent for the diplomatist to ex-
plain, II he could, why his bird had
shown no inclination to fight. The
Russian went, examined the bird In
the presence of Abdul Hamid, and
with great astonishment and regret
acknowledged that 1t was quite unable
to cope with the royal gamecocks.
which were undoubtedly OF superior
breed
A conference followed on the subject
Of gamecocks in general; and when
this was finished the Muscovite sue
ceeded in drawing the Sultan in a
mood for conversation Of a different
character, and in time adroitly intro
duced the political matter he had so
long awaited an opportunity to discuss.
After long interview he returned to
his embassy triumphant over his COL
eagues.-Harper's Weekly.
