Decay of Diplomacy.

Diplomacy Is not q career winch en- courages the growth of strong per sonality. The diplomatiSt is necessa- rily the tool of other men. Wandering from capital to capital, he is the mouth piece of successive ministers, to whose divergent policies he must adapt him. self with the good grace that leads to swift promotion. If he develops decid- ed views of his own or allows himself to cultivate embarrassing Sympathies be is apt to be marked as a dangerous and uncomfortable subordinate, for whom there will presently yawn some obscure and distant hole in a South American legation. The great ambas- sadors lived in the days when no tele- graph had yet been invented to make bureaucracy omnipresent. It wants only some further perfection of the long distance telephone to abolish the diplomatiSt altogether.-London Athe- naeum-

Butter From Birds.

A century ago butter birds were milked to beat the band by the natives of the northern part of South America. In midsummer the Indians went into the great caverns where these strange birds had builded, and with long poles the nests were broken and destroyed, something like the way the Yankee boys in barns used to break up the homes of mud daubers and barn swal- lows. Butter birds builded nests in the tops of the caverns In inches and holes worn ages ago by water. A poke or two with pole and the nest of gray clay looking like a big cheese came falling down, the young birds scatter ing on the floor of the cavern. The great Jumps of fat between legs and under the tail of the nesuings were torn from them and piled into earthen pots and melted down into bird butter. The butter bird is about as large as chicken and so sweet is the bird butter that it keeps a year or so without turn ing rancid. It is oily, clear and With out smell.-New York Press.

Conuressional PIaqiarism.

The custom of lifting a brother congressman's bills without sanction or permission has resulted in a warm discussion concerning the ethics Of legislation. Tn newspaper work, novel writing or any other strenuous em- ployment the appropriation or use of another mans words or ideas entities him to credit and legal protection. Not so, however, In the legislative hopper. If one man falls to have a resolution or bill passed another takes 1t up, transferring such paragraphs and clauses or ideas as he wishes. without credit. and labelling the result with his name in such way as to secure full and undisputed possession.
 The only question considered Is. "WIl It pass?" for if 1t does not pass 1t represents only so much white paper snugly tucked away in pigeonhOles until the advent of the next legislator whose inclination runs to fathering bills. The pigeonholes and crypt at the capitol are filled with documents suggestive of the faded hopes of many an enthusiastic congressman whose bill failed to get by" and is ready for the appropriation of another ambitious legislator.-National Magazine.

A HOSTILE MOVE BY GERMANY?

A newspaper dispatch has been widely printed the past few days, alleging that Germany intends to ac- Quire some harbors in Columbia with in striking distance of the Panama canal. The story is that Columbia ssls s100 900, 900 for the loss of Pan- ana, or else will sell the harbors to Germany.
 As any Washington correspondent with a hungry family can always make a handsome days pay at space rates by sending out war scare dispatch concerning Japan, Germany, Or other fighters, the country will not put its navy on a war footing un- til some confirmation of this story is afforded
 Meanwhile it may be said that the people who have been the most de- strous Of developing German immi- grafton in South America have with in a few years advocated law which would concentrate the South American Germans in South Brazil, where 100000 natives of the Father land already are concentrated.
 German colonization sentiment al ways preferred the temperate climate oc that region An attempt at ex- pansion on the fever-heated shores of Colombia would be contrary to past policy. And only about TOO Germans a year were going to South America, by recent statistics.
 Germany is a very fatherly sort Of a government. When Hans and Johann set out for the ends of the earth, 1t has a way of offering lot oc advice as to where they should settle. German colonization societies long have been active in South America, probably because they own many corner lots, which they desire to work off at a profit.
 But when it comes to creating a dependent German state, there has not in the 70 years of German mi grafton been any evidence Of it. When the Latin hot-bloods begin to parade the streets and mutter sedi- tion over their rum punches, the Ger mans stick their noses deeper ln their ledgers and mind their own business with care and assiduity, From which characteristics it has resulted that the German colony in Brazil has contributed materially to the increasing stability Of that gov ernment.
 The acquisition of some harbors by Germany near the Panama canal would not be favorably regarded in this country. But if any steps of that kind are in contemplation, it is wholly new polscy.-Portland Tele- gram.

"THE HEART OF THE HILLS"

Two of the most widely read stor- les published in scrtbner's Magazine during the past twenty-five years were "The Little Sheperd of King dom Come" and The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" by John Fox, Jr' In book form they were long listed among the best sellers" and thelr popularity goes on year after year. Mir. Fox's new story, which will run nearly through the year, will com mence in the April number. It has a most attractive title, "The Heart oS the Hills" and its title is fair promise of the charm of the story. This is a story of vivid contrasts. The people of the mountains are brought in contact with the people of the Blue Grass. The main interest of the plot revolves about a boy and girl Of the hills and a boy and girl of the plains. It is their development from a crude childhood to wiser ma tlrity that enchains the reader. They are real people, as appealing and loyable as Chad or June of Fox's previous stories. There are dramat. ic action. humor, sentiment and psthos, and something of political turmoil. It is a story near at hand in it's people and interest-a picture ot modern Kentucky.

Sleepy Fishermen by Coming Down

The cold pale noon was shining
over the tree tops, while the wind was
singing a sad requiem to whatever
needed it and the ripples from the
Big Pine were making music which
lulled all nature and George Hoenck
and Harry Carpenter and Charley
Welton to sleep.
The three were fishing in the Big

HOME and The
TRAVELLING Man
THERE is A FINER LIGHT IN HIS
EYE ON A FRIDAY OR sATuR-
DAY FOR He is JouRNEYINGl
HoMEWARD AND Appreciated
THE FACT.

If n wants to know something OF
the influence of the home and what the
average man thinks of it. let him sit in
the smoker of a train some after
noon toward the close Of the week, say
Friday or Saturday. Let us note how
the faces tighten UP as one travelling
man greets another and is informed
that he is getting home" says an ex-
change.
The fellow sitting by the window,
putting his pipe or cigar while he
gazes at the passing fields, has been
gone since Monday MORNING. long,
long time to him and a longer one to
the mes back home. The fellow sitting
by him tells you he has been out for a
month-been away out to the coast,
but will be home in so many hours.
Another may have been upon an even
more extended trip, while another
might have been absent but a couple
of days, but it is all the same when
they are getting home" There is
something in store for them. there is
expectancy Of meeting the loved ones,
to say the least, and the mind of each
is conferred al the end Of the trip.
And there are more of these people
who are compelled to be away from
home than the average man can imag-
Inc. All Of the country, in the little
villages, as well as in the towns and
cities, there are these travellers who are
figuring on getting back home" Think
Of the number OF hotels in this coutry
maintained by this vast army Of men
whose eyes are on the end of the
journey, who are counting the days I'M
toll they get back home.'
1t is a pathetic thing, too, when one
stops to think about it seriously, that
in SO many homes there is--for the
greater part Of the year, 1t may be-a
vacant place. It is an unfortunate
condition which prevails when men
are compelled to remain away from
those who are dearest to them, from
their own. Life is altogether too short
for the separation of those who are in
terested in each others welfare. But
there does not seem any way to avoid
it at this time, so that all one can do is
to note the anxiety Of those headed
homeward, and to enjoy in a way the
knowledge that these men who go
about the country in the course If
their daily vocations are not without
the saving sentiment that the home is
where they can find the greatest bless
ings in the world.

THE TRAVELLERS

improved conditions for the. travelling
public, and to work for these laws
only.
A hotel law that viii give the state
hotel inspector the power to compel
owners to make their places sani-
tary, and the power to close the places
until they are sanitary, is wanted by
the council. They voted to appoint a
committee to draft a complete hotel
law and the committee will confer
with Rome Miller, president of the
National Hotel Keepers association.
and with Alex Crozier. state hotel
inspector of Minnesota, before draft
ing the proposed bill.
No Court of Errors.
The grand council also voted to
abolish the court of errors which
has been a feature of all the previous
conventions, On the ground that it had
caused annoyance to many members
and others who are 10 members. The
resolution goes into effect in 1913. 1t
also voted to provide a special mem
bership for those who have suffered
physical injuries and to rate them as
double risks in the matter Of insur-
ance. 1t requested the supreme u
Gil at Columbus, O., to provide a flat
membership rate of SIS a year in
stead Of collecting dues on the assess
ment basis.
Some Big Receipts.
The grand secretary, in his report,
showed that there had been in the
past year a net increase of $500
members, or 4 per cent. Ohio leads.
Minnesota and North Dakota have
a membership of 1905 and 4,61O re-
spectively.
The receipts for the year in the
Jurisdiction of Minnesota and North
Dakota were $50, 1920. The disburse-
ments were $79.137.69. Nearly Sc, OOO
was disbursed during the year from
the widows and orphans fund. The
grand council received for the year
$S'O1O.o5 and there is a cash balance
on hand of s ,74O.49. In closing his
report, the. grand secretary paws a
l compliment to the fruitful ad-
minlstration Of Grand Counselor
Garrison.

them to be quiet. Ever and anon and
then some, Hoenck and Carpenter
would draw the counterpane over their
heads, as they ~endeavored to shut out
the sounds OF snoring from above.
All Of q sudden, or sooner, Carpenter
SAYS, there was the sound Of a falling
body striking the floor and as soon as
the two Mortified men could spring
from their beds and strike a light they
did SO.
Charley Welton had been walking in
his sleep and had fallen through a
hole in the floor of the story above.
The fall didn't wake him for a few
minutes-he says he was stunned, but
the others claim he was still snoring
and that people don't snore when they
are stunned. When he was finally
aroused he explained by saying that
he had dreamed OF hooking an eighteen
pound pike and that just as it was
shaking it's head from the hook he
made a dive for it, and he remembered
nothing more until he was awakened
by the others.
1t is remarkable that he didn't at
least have some bones broken, but he
didn't. He did have divers and sundry
bruises and black spots all over his
anatomy, and after he had returned
to his duties at the Webster hotel and
had seen a doctor and been plastered
with arnica and other restoratives he
found that there wasn't a bone in his
body that wasn't sore. He is sorry,
though, that he didn't land the fish he
was after.

VOICES FROM RED
Wing CONVENTION
FARGO COUNCIL AND THE BOYS
HAVING THE TIME or THEIR
LIVES, BUT SOME TROUBLE
ABOUT MANAGER M'GRANNs
BASEBALL TEAM.

The last word that comes from Red
Wing, Mimi, the last and now that
grand lodge of the travellers for this
district being held there today, is to
the effect that the boys of Fargo are
having the time of their lives and they
Ire we'll received by everybody.
There has been something doing ev-
cry minute since the local men landed
there on Wednesday afternoon. and
Thursday morning they were met by
ne band and escorted with due for
mality to their hotel, where they were
given hearty cheer by the proprietor.
According to Dave Oman, who
wrote to a friend, 1--WE all washed our
faces and hands and shook hands with
the people, and then we went into the
dining room, where we almost ate
the landlord out of house and home;
but he said he would have all we
could eat in the morning.
MY goodness, but the town is full
Of people, and there is every appear
ance Of US having a big time. l don't
think yet that they can come up to
Fargo, but you can't tell just yet, for
I haven't had time to get around so
far; but Frank Ashelman has prom
Used to show me all the comforts of
home, and SO / am ~contented."
There was g. big parade yesterday
and everybody was pleased with it,
and Fargo, as usual, showed up
ceedingly we'll, and the council was
given the glad hand all along the
line. The locals wore their white duck
trousers, caps, white shirts and yell
low ties, etc, and they looked natty
and neat. AS far as can be learned
the Fargo bunch took the honors If
they did not get the prizes.
Manager McGrann of the baseball
team Of No. SIS writes in a sympa-
thetic strain to a friend in the city
and says in a sort Of wailing strain:
"Ge-Ru-Sa-Lem! But 1 wish I had
brought along a lot of sluggers to play
in my team, Some of my best men,
Herb Mason, Add Leech, Otto
Morrow, Chaplin Dixon, Bishop and
the rest, stayed at home and / had
to get young and inexperienced men
to go around with me and make the
people believe that they were ball play
ers. Tom Dunn, whom / had coached
for three months to act as umpire
whenever our team was to play, fell
Town on me, for the uniforms worn by
the two mines one day were exactly
alike and he couldn't tell which was
III team-and you may know the re-
suit, for he gave the decisions as he
saw them, and not in our favor. He
told me afterwards that he expected
to be mobbed had he done different.
To think. The way L have toiled
with that man, and then to have him
lay down on me in this manner! 1
shall certainly prefer charges against
him at the very next meeting of the
council, for malfeasance In office, or
words to that effect. Anyway, we are
having a good time, and the people
all sympathfze with me and are treat
ing me as though 1 needed pity and
waiting upon, so I guess I'll stay
until the bunch gets home. There
will be some releases from my ball
team, all right, and they will be de-
served"

Traveller Thought He Was Pushing
Button for Elevator Boy.
A salesman, whose name is merciful-
ly withheld, got himself in bad with
the janitor of the North Dakota I'm
provement Co. building a few nights
ago.
Finding himself too late for the ele-
vator boy, and not knowing that the
service vas off at II each night, he
asked some one what to do and they
suggested that he ring for the boy.
He did. But he didn't get the boy.
He rang the new tangled fire alarm
system that Manager Farmer of the
building has installed. He thought he
was turning the push button. The FIRE
gongs let go at a terrific rate and it
took several minutes of conversation
with the janitor before he could square
himself with the house. The story was
understood to be kept quiet, but some
how these things will leak out.

Washington, D. c.. June S.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts Of disturbances
to cross continent June IL to Is, warm
wave June 10 to il, cool wave June
10 to IL. The week of this disturbance
is expected to average a little cooier
than the previous week. Occasional
showers but a noticeable decrease in
rainfall, particularly in those sections
where excessive rains occurred In
March, April and May.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about June IL, cross Pacific slope
by close of June IS, great central val
leys June 10 to p, eastern sections
June %. Warm wave will cross Pac-
ifc slope about June IL, great central
valleys June 10, eastern sections June
n. Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about June 30, great central valleys
June 20, eastern sections june "a.
Unusually cool weather will be in
a~ugurated by this disturbance, and
some rain is expected where less than
usual rain occurred during March.
April and May. Where no rains occur
it will not be so cool.
We are now facing great events in
crop weather and these events, as I
see it, will be of great Importance. No
general crop failure is expected, but
i'm large sections corn and cotton and
other products that depend on July
and August weather will make short
crops. This Of course win greatly in
iure some people and greatly benefit
others. ii sections where good crops
win be produced unusual profits are
assured.
But the sur can not hope for
crops this year that will greatly low-
err the cost of living and therefore
economy should be the watchword. But
there is no danger in suffering for food.
Our physicians say that we eat too
much and perhaps a little economy
