An Unrecoanized kinq.

King Ferdinand "a twenty-six years
old when his difficult task of rulership
began. He had to contend with the
further hardship that the European
courts refused to recognize his rank,
beyond the continual danger Of plots
and attempts at assassination which he
had to face within Bulgaria itself. OF
his external difficulties a good story Is
told:
On one of his unofficial visits to
F%rance-for France did not recognize
him for ten years-King Ferdinand
paid a visit to the Bourbon Due d'Au-
male, his uncle, at Chantilly. The Due
d'Aumale was working in his library
when his nephew, without previously
having been announced. entered the
room.
Surprised at the Interruption, the
duke began to look extremely angry
with such an unceremOnious visitor
when suddenly he burst out laughing:

Better Than Jumbo.

The big circus Of Barnum & Bailey
was not always under one manage
ment. For many years MI. Bailey ran
, small show of his own, doing his
best in the small towns, while Mr..
Barnum stopped only at the large
cities.
at this time Bailey owned the big
elephant, Jumbo, the largest in captiv-
ity. Barnum had sent his agents to
purchase 1t, but without avail. MI.
Bailey refused to set a price. Then
Mr.. Barnum telegraphed to his COM
petitor:
I will give you $4,000 for Jumbo.
P. T. BARNUM.
No answer came. On the third day
he passed through a small town where
Bailey was to show ON the following
day. Every billboard in town was
plastered with monster reproductions
Of his identical message and signature,
mixed in with the usual advertising Of
the Bailey show. With a grin Barnum
turned to his assistants.
1T isn't Jumbo we want" he told
them; its Bailey"
The next year it was Barnum &

Sailing a Diamond Mine,

Harold Du Bots, the noted mining en-

the "art" of sailing a diamond mine.
The story was told of a man in South
Africa who. while walking one day

assay some of the soil.
In the search that ensued eight rough
diamonds were found and offers began

An Interesting Case.

In one Of his letters Horace Walpole
tells the story Of a sailor who had
broken his leg and was advised to CON-
municate his case to the Royal society.
The account he gave was that. having
fallen from the top of the mast and
fractured his leg, he had dressed it
with nothing but tar and oakum, and
yet in three days was able to walk as
well as before the accident. The So
ciety was much interested, says Nor
man Pearson, who recounts the story
in Society Sketches In the Eighteenth
Century" and asked for further de-
tails.
The sailor persisted in declaring that
he had used no other remedies. and 8
considerable correspondence passed be-
tween the parties. Finally. in Il post
script to his last letter. the seaman add
ed, II forgot to tell your honors that
the leg was a wooden one"

Beard Versus Brains.

Colonel 4. Donnelly Bennett of FL
berton, GA. by some special dispense
ton Of Georgia law was a lawyer and
practicing when he was seventeen.
His first case was as assistant to the
district attorney in the prosecution Of
a man accused of murder.
The defendant had for his lawyer an
elderly and dignitied member of the
bar. who wore Il long, flowing. volu-
minous beard. The bearded lawyer
resented the interference of the youth
full Bennett and constantly referred to
him as this beardless youth from
South Carolina"
Bennett tool it all in good part until
the other lawyer began to rub it in.
Then he arose and said:
MAY it please your honor. during my
somewhat brief experience at the bar
l have had the pleasure Of reading aft
er such distinguished law writer's as
Blackstone. Coke and Littleton. and If
l rightfully interpret them it takes
brains and not beard to make Il lawyer.
However. If these distinguished law
writer's be mistaken and the gentleman
who appears for the defense is correct.
I take great pleasure in here and now
nominating him for chief justice of the
supreme court Of the United States, as
he has SO much beard and so little
brains that he is eminently qualified to
fill that high position" - Saturday

We'll See.

When we would beg for childish Joys,
For schemes enchanting sigh.
There always was a certain phrase
That made our hopes beat high.
She made no promise. gave no hint.
Yet We were filled with glee.
More than we dreamed would come to pass
When mother said. "We'll see."
So has it held through older years,
As 1t was proved before.
So may it hold of other worlds
Beyond this mundane shore.
She gives no promise, makes no hint.
Yet bliss will surely be.
More than we dream may come to pass,
For mother says. "Well see."

Lively Mourning.

A noted English artist once was
standing at the edge Of the road wait

in his usual peculiar style-mustard

and bright red tie. A man who had

lurch round the corner Of the street.

KEPT HIM ON EDGE.
The Maddsning Joke Eugene Field
Played on . Printer.

When Eugene Field was city editor
Of the Kansas City Times he found
great amusement in annoying to the
point of distraction one Of the charac-
tiers employed on the paper.
Ferguson was One of the "makeups''
on the paper. and in Wyandotte. where
he resided, just over the line from
Kansas City, he vas the leader of Il
local temperance society. For over a
year Field, on coming down to the pa
per to go to work, would write a per-
sonal concerning Ferguson. Generally
It ran like this:
M John Ferguson, the we'll known
makeup Of the Times composing room,
appeared for work yesterday evening
in his usual beastly state Of intoxica-
ton"
This entertaining bit Field would
send down in a bundle of copy. and the
others Of the composing would
set 1t up and say nothing.
Poor Ferguson knew that this awful
personal was in their midst and ev.
cry night would go carefully over ev-
cry galley for the purpose of locating
and killing II. It gave him vast trou-
BILE. Every now and then Field would
not write his personal about Ferguson,
and then the %bewildered Ferguson was
worse off than W As long as he
could not find it it might still be there.
1t almost drove the poor man of the
paper. Now and then it escaped his
eagle eye and vas printed. On such
occasions Ferguson's burdens were be-
yond the power Of even a Christian
spirit to bear.

The following address was recently

eral of the Pan-American union, Wash"
ington:
I have come all the way from Wash
ington. at a busy and critical time.
to call the attention of the people Of
the northwest to. a matter Of supreme
importance in the foreign relations OF
the United States.
Minneapolis, the state of Minnesota,
and this surrounding section have just
az much at stake and just as much
concern in the development and main
tenance of American prestige, influence
and commerce abroad as have the
eastern, southern or western sections
of the United States. In the great
central and northwest regions of our
land, there beats. as it were, the very
heart of our people and Of our prin-
ciples Of our free government. There
should, therefore, be an answering
sentiment here In favor Of absolute
justice and true sympathy In dealing
with foreign countries and building UP
our relations, both Of commerce and
friendship, with them. 49, '

point in our relations with them which

whether they are to follow, n G

their institutions and their civilization
along the lines Of this country or OF
the old world; and whether they shall
give the largest share of their foreign
commerce to the United States or to
Europe and Asia, It. therefore, un-

Point In Relations of
Uncle Sam and Latin America

our sister republics understand that
we want to help them as well as our
own, that we want their ships as well
as those Of the United States to utilize
its facilities.
Summed up in a sentence, the situa-
ton Of the hour confronting us is this:
We must make the Panama canal a
Pan-American canal, and let it's open
ing inaugurate a new era, not alone of
material trade and commerce, but Of
mutual confidence and good will,
throughout all the nations which COM
pose the Pan-American union. Other
wise, all of our talk, all Of u high
sounding phrases, and all Of our dis
cussion Of the good Of the Panama
canal will be in vain.
The Pan-American union, of which
I have the honor to be the executive
officer, in Its capacity as the official
international organization OF all the
American republics, with its headquar-
tiers in Washington, is leaving no eff
fort neglected, no path ~untrodden and
no stone unturned to awaken the peo-
pie Of the United States to a true ap-
probation and a greater knowledge OF
our sister American nations and peo-
pies. Housed at Washington in one OF
the most beautiful official buildings in
the world, 1t Is spreading broadcast a
propaganda for the development OF
Pan American friendship, intercourse,
trade and peace. and it wants to see
the great forceful and progressive pop"
uIation Of the northwest responding to
those efforts and leading the people
of the United States in framing a poll
cy which will make this country and
its people loved in Latin America, in
the valleys of the Amazon and the
Parana and on the p%lateaus OF the
Andes, as much as in the valleys of the
Mississippi and the Missouri and or
the plateaus Of the Rockies.
The prosperity and welfare Of every
| citizen Of this section, of every city.
town and hamlet Of this northwest, will
be affected directly and favorably, as
years pass by, If such a policy OF the
United States is inaugurated and
maintained. II any one, who hears or

session Of the forces of Meximilian.
European governments recognized him,
ours did not.
Stewards policy was simply a de-
mand Of Emperor Napoleon III to
withdraw the French forces sustain
ing Maximilian's government. Frances
troubles at home were then accumu-
lating owing to the rise Of Prussia
under Rismarck's direction, and Ma
poleon himself, had bet on the wrong
horse" IN our own civil war. His
Mexican adventure was already seen
to be a losing one.
AS soon as the French troops were
withdrawn from Mexico the Mexican
republicans under Juarez, with the
moral supper of the United States,
did the rest. Our government even
refused to heed the request Of M or
two European powers that 1t use its
influence to prevent the execution of
Macmillan. Stewards policy, in brief,
consisted in forcing the withdrawal Of
European influence and leaving the
Mexicans to stew in their own juice
until they could thresh out Of their
chaos a stable government.
Conditions are not the same today.
But President Wilson might find in
structive at ON points the policy OF
the Johnson administration, when
military Intervention talk gets loudest.
He has an alternative government to
recognize in that Of the constitution
alists of the north, much more sub
~stantiaI than that of Juarez, which the
American minister of 1866 could
not locate. European commercial and
financial interests in Mexico are, of
course, enormously greater today than
they were forty and forty-ive years
ago, and this fact makes a decided
difference in what Europeans regard
as the responsibilities of our govern
ment. But just how far can Europe
dictate to- the United States what ito
policy shall be?

Macmillan and the French forces out

Intervention was to station about $4,000
