Do Not at All Times Discuss Affairs Of State

TWO men who had every earmark OF
/ being tourists from the Pie Belt
were nearly stricken with apoplexy in
the capitol building few days ago
when they ran suddenly on Uncle
Joe" Cannon and Representative Burle-
son Of Texas. who were talking to
each other in most confidential way.
They backed oil, made motions indt-
eating proper appreciation OF great
ness, although neither one Of the two
gentlemen mentioned had any idea of
what was going on. The Pie Belters
gathered themselves together in
darkened corner. One of them said:
That's Uncle joe"
Sure" said the other. "and he's
talking to What's His Name-you
know"
Eyes, know; that fellow who"
Eyes, that's the man. Gosh! I'd
like to know what they're a-talkin'
about"
"Somethfn' big, I'll bet"
And the two stood there overawed.
Now James c. Courts and Marcellus
Shields and the author of these lines
happened to hear what the two great
statesmen were talking about, and
Courts and Shields are certainly re-
liable.
The fact is that Just as the two Pie
Belters were backing of and bowling
their obeisance Uncle Joe was saying
to Brer Burleson:

Honored by the University OF
North Dakota, from which he was
once expelled, V. Stefansson, the ia
nous arctic explorer and discoverer
of the blond Eskimo is delivering
a series of lectures at his alma ma
ter. The now famous explorer was
expelled from the university in Feb
ruary. 1902, when majority of the
faculty decided that he had bad
influence on other students. The de-
cision was reached after Stefansson
had apparently been the instigator
in a number Of escapades and had
remained away from classes for in
definite periods. He was always
ready with excuses, however, and in
variably passed his examinations
with high marks after few nights
of vigorous 'cramming."
One story is told of subject in
which he attended class but three
times and secured mark of IS per
cent. the highest in the class.

WlCEROY HARDINGE'S TASK IS GREAT

When Edward VII, following that
remarkable series of visits to Cont
mental capitals which began in 1903.
was acclaimed throughout Europe as
the peacemaker, there were certain
keen-faced old gentlemen in Downing
street who allowed themselves the
emotional relaxation of a quiet smile
and registered the thought at the
same time that a considerable por-
ton of the credit for the diplomatic
success OF those tours was due a
young man Of serene temper and en-
gaging manner who was attached to
his majesty's SUITE
Sir Charles Hardinge was that
man, and when almost coincidently
with his appointment to the highest
office In the gift Of the crown-the
viceregal throne of India-he was
elevated to the peerage in 1910 and
became the first Lord Hardinge of
Penhurst, there was neither surprise
nor envy among the diplomatists OF
