Chief Justice Whites Ways.

Chief Justice White, who is one OF
the most amiable men in the world off
the bench, Is terror to the lawyers
that appear before the Supreme court
to argue cases. He can argue a case
himself In French, Spanish or English.
and perhaps in some other languages.
He is student of philology, and when
a lawyer is threshing about as to the
meaning of some word, the chief JUS
tice Is apt to break out with something
like this:
Give the Greek derivative of It,"
A common expression from the chief
justice is: illustrate 1t; illustrate It,"
To have the chief justice lean over
the bench and explode question un-
der a green lawyer is apt to make the
latter lose his feet completely. Some
days ago, when the attorney general
was arguing in the Standard Oil case,
the chief Justice shot OUT

LOOKS AFTER THE PENNIES
Good Stories Told of Harry Lauder

Harry Lauder, little Scotch comedi-

who never let a guilty penny escape,

1t were, and as a result he is out just

induced the wee Scot to invest $4,000
In copper stock which is worthless.
Getting $4,000 from Lauder brands
him as youth deserving of the title
Napoleon of Finance.
To illustrate LADDERS frugality this
story Is told of how Gus Ellen, Brit

Harry was saving more money than
he (Elen) was saving He went to
LADDERS room to ask how he managed

said Lauder, "and I'll tell you"
Another time, when Lauder was in
New York he was in wine-buying
party at the Aston Everybody but the
Scot bought wine. When it came his
turn to buy he sighed
We'll, boys" he said, 'it's my turn
to treat Come along with me. I've
got a fine bottle of old Scotch up in
my room--I brought 1t over with me. /"
On another occasion he was with a
drinking party, and instead of liquor
he took cigars, for which those who
treated him paid so cents apiece.
Harry put all but one in his pocket.
He spent two hours smoking that one.
After the drinking was over the little
comedian went to the cigar counter
and said to the man In charge: Il say,
man, wud ye mind givin' me 10-cent
cigars for these 50-cent ones?" The
exchange was made and Harry went
to his room with FIVE times as many
cigars as he had at the start.

In a Diary
By DOROTHY BLACKMORE
Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.

A March wind was busy in Wash
lngton square. 1t snatched bits OF
paper and made kites of them; Il
tangled the garments Of pedestrians;
it made whirlpools OF dust on the
street corners
Suddenly, window was raised in
an apartment overlooking the park
and a housemaid shook gayly at her
1uster. A gust of wind startled her
and she knocked small book from
the sill. The leaves were tapping in
the wind and the book lying, covers
down, on the pavement below before
she recovered her Irish wits and
damned the window.
At that moment a man and a dog
CHANGED along the street The man
saw the book
Good dog" he said, pointing to
he volume.
The terrier promptly seized the
Gather in his teeth and, preceding
his master along the street, stopped
at the entrance to an apartment

carry mail and parcels and this task

Before the chair of his master he
dropped the book and was duly
petted,
"A diary, Turk" remarked the man
as he picked up the book. Some

dust from the pages.
He looked for a name, but there
was none; therefore he promptly as
signed ownership to a woman. And,
since there was no legitimate clue he
began to read the contents in search
of one.
The remarks set down were neither
profound nor especially noteworthy,

FOREIGNERS AT WEST POINT
Many Latln-Amercan Young Men Ad-
mitted Into This Institution as
Cadets.

The recent graduation from West
of the Costa Rican Minister to the
United States, brings to mind the fact
that number of Latin Americans
have enjoyed the hospitality of this
institution and as the guests of tho
nation awaited themselves Of the priv
ileges of pursuing the same course
of instruction which is demanded from
the aspirant for commission in the
American army.
AS far back as 1916 the records
America were admitted as cadetA
Louis Blanco and Mateo Blanco were
on the rolls that year, while in 1928

tured a fleet with troop of cavalry.
According to the Bulletin of the South
American Republics no other Latin
Americans was entered at the Acad-
envy until 1884, when we find the
name of Antonio Barrios, of Guats~
mala.
In 1889 there was one cadet from
Nicaragua; in 1898 one from Salvador
and one from Venezuela; in 1897 one
from Salvador; in 1898 one from Cos
ia RIGA and one from Venezuela; in
1902 one from Costa Rica; in 1905
one from Ecuador and in 1907 one
from Nicaragua and one from Vene-
zuela.
OF these three received diplomas
showing that they had pursued the
same studies and submitted to the
same discipline as other members of
the academy. They are Antonio Bar
ribs, of Guatemala, and Arturo Rob-
erto Calvo and Jose Martin Calvo. Of
Costa Rica. Four received certificat1~
of study during four years.
The others dwelt but short time IN
the institution. Cadet Jose Calvo, who
was recently graduated, had a note

Oak BUNGALOWS of india.

The Oak bungalow of India Is a
blessed institution for the weary Oak,

finds these little shelters dotted over
many of the out-of-the-way parts of
the country. generally not more than
one long days march apart. They
mean warmth when one has been
chilled to the bone by biting winds, or
shelter from the driving rain and hail
storms, the latter so common in north
ern India that planters insure their
crops against them, and so violent
that both men and cattle are often
killed by them. The bungalows usu-
ally consist of two bedrooms and a
dining room, with rough outside build
ings providing kitchen and sheds for
horses and coolies.

so THEY KICKED THE KING
How English schooIboys for Once
Failed to Overlook a Title
Much Honored.

Most public school men who look
back upon their school days will admit
they were scarcely conscious Of the
origin of any of their fellows. The
son of tradesman had an equal
chance OF being popular with the son
of an ancient family. Tom Hughes was
unerring in his judgment when he gave
his schoolboy hero the simple name Of
Tom Brown. Rev. Augustus Orlebar,
whose fight at Rugby suggested to Tom
Hughes Tom Browns fight with Slog-
ger Williams, thinks that the modern
boy is pampered beyond reason and Is
in danger of losing his hardness; also
that he respects rank more than for
merly. The pampering may sometimes
be real, though we suspect that strict
medical observation, hyglenic condi-
lions and careful choice of food are
commonly mistaken for pampering.
But we cannot accept the social snob-
bishness. Mr.. Orlebar says that In his
day 1T was almost handicap against
a boy to be the possessor of title"
We are not sure that the attitude of
the present public schoolboy Is not
better. He would not press the pos
session of title against any boy; he
would feel instinctively that to do so
would be to make rather too much of
the title, which In his view obviously
could never be SO important as colors
In the cricken eleven or the football
team There used to be story that
when 1t was arranged that the Duke
of Genoa, then boy at Harrow, was
to succeed to the throne of Spain every
boy In the school (of sufficient size,
let us presume) solemnly kicked him
in order that he might have the graft
fication Of saying In after years that
he had kicked king. An embroidery
upon that significant legend tells US
that only one boy rejected the great
opportunity, and he was a member of
a royalist family. When asked why
he had refrained he piously exclaimed:
How could l kick the Lords anoint
ed?"-The Spectator.

failed to appeal to him as the thing
he wanted to do. Once or twice, he
had found opportunity to get glimpses
of the girl, and with each succeeding
view of her face he was less pleased
with the idea Of not making himself
known to her.
At last, inspired by the last drop
of coffee, he did a bold thing; he
took the book from his pocket and
began to read. Then, he extracted a
pendl from another pocket and made
a notation on a blank page under the
date of the evening.

"Did You Find Your Diary"

Archibald thought. but there was
something in the manner of their
writing that appealed to him. The
view point was fresh and the every
day characters were wildly present
ed. She-for he had decided that the
author was a woman-had many odd
turns of language that made the SIM
pie Jottings surprisingly interesting.
As he read he began to wish he
knew the author. He would like to
return the diary. And yet he had no
tangible scent to follow. The mere
fact that she dined-or had dined In
the course Of the year In which the
diary had been kept-in small Bo>
hemian restaurant in Washington
square, was small evidence of her
Identity.
Nevertheless, Tom Archibald made
1t a point to dine frequently In that
place. He felt reasonably sure that
If he could overhear the girls con-
versation he would recognize her. Ac-
cordingly. to his shame, be it added,
he often listened intently to the re-
marks of persons sitting near him.
Also, he ate larger dinners than was
his custom so as to prolong his stay
In the restaurant
After three weeks of intermittent
searching, he was dining again In the
small restaurant. his hope of finding
the author by this means was at low
ebb. Suddenly. from table behind
him, a man asked of his companion:
"Did you ever find your diary?"
Archibald upset his coffee, which
ne was in the act of stirring, and
dropped an ash down his waistcoat
Then as nonchalantly as possible, he
turned to look at the girl whom the
man had addressed
Don't ask painful questions" re-
piled the girl 81 don't want to cry
here"
"Strange-how 1t could have dis
appeared so quickly" the man added
Some curious passerby, the girl
said. Il hope he is edited"
deep color mounted slowly to
Archibald's brow. What was this ap-
oalling thing he had done?--read the
diary of another? He was at loss
for way to set himself right He
pressed the pocket OF his coat to
make certain that the little book re-
posed therein.
He ordered another cup of coffee
and further cigars. Perhaps he could
follow the girl. unobserved, and find
out where she lived. Then, he might
be able in some way to return the
diary without making known his own
identity.
As he smoked and drank his coffee
the idea became less brilliant-it
