asked her if she had been able to rest her
bones.
"'Yes, Mum, replied Mary with sigh.
specially my jawbones."
JUDGE JOSEPH w. NICHOL tells this
, story to prove that the political disputes
and bitterness of the present day are as
nothing when compared with those during
the Civil War:
A man in Indiana was an ardent Demo
GRAFT He was disliked on this account by
all his fellow citizens, who referred to him
invariably by using the sincere but abusive
name of "Copperhcad.'
One evening Mr.. Copperhead walked into
a saloon, took his stand beside large Union
man, and remarked:
Here's to Jeff Davis and the Confeder-
acy! Long may they"
At this point the big man knocked him
down and shouted, aAs soon as you get up
I'll knock you down again.
"Then. Sir, replied the Copperhead, 3you
may consider me gone to bed for the rest of
the night"

Consuls in Odessa asking if the plague was
as bad as reported, and whether if we went
there we could get on toward Moscow with
out being quarantined. This was necessary,
because it is customary for Russian towns
to quarantine against one another. The Brit
ish Consul did not reply; although we guar
anteed payment of the answer. In the
meantime we had wired the Consuls at Mos
COW; but through bungling neither Of these
replies reached us, although both were
promptly sent.
We ventured across the border at I'm
gheny, went on down through Kishinef, and
stopped in Odessa. The British Consul was
too busy to be seen; but the American Con-
sui was there on the job, and ready to dc
anything to assist us.
At Kief we had no occasion to visit either;
but German commercial man we met or
the train spent sometime regrettlng that
their own service was not SO clean cut as
ours, and paid high tribute to the activity
of the American at that point. At Moscow
my friend went to his Consul to find If there
was any mail. He was kept waiting in an
anteroom, and bill was promptly handed
to him for the telegram to Jassy. The Con-
sui apparently took no interest in his fellow
countrymen, and was disposed to be ex-
tremely chilling, in keeping with the weather
outside. At the American Consulate we
were both ushered in at once, given every
possible assistance, invited to dinner, given
cards to club and letters of introduction
to bank where we wanted to get some more
checks cashed. These favors were extended
impartially to both of us, and in the two
months that we were there there was never
any favor too great, or kindly assistance too
strenuous, for Mr. Snodgrass to do for US.
Moreover, we learned that about half the
British subjects of the place went to him for
advice, because he was recognized as being
courteous and competent.
A T Warsaw, in Poland, my friend gave up,
q and we did all our necessary business
with the American Consul, and his secretary
sent for his son, an extremely polite young
man who speaks Polish as perfectly as Eng
lish, to pilot US round town on our petty
errands, buy our railway tickets to the best
advantage, and see us off on the train. Again
it had been one round of patient courtesy
and willingness.
The comparison all along the line was in
favor of our service as against the British,
which some Americans are wont to believe
the best. And my companion, who is as
good a British subject as lives, step by step
began to concede this point, until, one day IN
Breslau, l disturbed him as he was writing
what seemed to me extravagantly palnstak-
ing letters to friend of his in the foreign
Office of his government at London.

THE AMERICAN CONSUL

or the following afternoon. We wanted to
get away, because to both of us Vienna was
an old story and SO familiar that we knew its
shopkeepers. We got the passports stamped,
and headed for the Russian Consul General
The Consul General himself was not there,
nor was his Vice Consul. We were politely
told to come the next day. We did SO, and
in the meantime had packed and prepared
to take the earliest train, which left at nine
o'clock the following morning. We bought
our tickets. so certain were we that there
would be no delay.
A rather surly secretary kept us waiting
for an hour, and then read the passport and
said he could not have it vised because it did
not state religion, and Jews were prohibited
from entering Russia In appearance | am
about as Jewish as Paddy's although
perhaps less attractive So far as | know,
the United States passports are the only
ones that do not have a blank to be filled
stating religion. asked the secretary what
could be done to remedy the defect. He
shrugged his shoulder. l suggested that he
take my affidavit that was not of the Jewish
faith He said he could not do that, because
it would have to be affixed to the passport,
and no man other than a United States
Ambassador had such authority. suggested
that go to our own Consul General and get
an affidavit as to religion. He gave me
small satisfaction on that score.
went out in something of a disguised
state of mind and drove across the city to
our own Consul. The Vice, Robert w. Helm
gartner, was there | had never met him
before, and had no claim to any particular
attention; but | want to 60 on record as
saying that the young man from Ohio is all
to the good, and knows his business. There
was not the slightest delay. He asked if
had a taxicab down below. | said yes, and
he put on his hat and accompanied me to the
Russian Consulate. He calmly ignored the
officious secretary and announced himself
to the Consul General, whom | had been
told could not be seen. In just one minute
he had made it plain to the Consul General
what was wanted, my passport was vlsed,
and the secretary was being put on the car
pet for exceeding his authority.
THE next place where we had occasion to
visit the Consul was Bucharest. The
trains had new schedule, and the railway
agent could speak neither French, German,
Italian, Spanish, nor English. 1t was not the
Consul's duty to act as courier for us; but
he volunteered to do SO, and not only found
the times of departure, but bought the tick
cts and made the reservations, helped us to
cash some checks, and kept hotelkeeper
from robbing us. There was no hope of
reward in his actions.
Rumors of increase of the plague were
flying thick and fast, and the commercial
men we met were all coming out of Russia,
nasmuch as the border countries were quar-
antining against her. We wanted more
exact information. Accordingly we stopped
at Jassy on the Rumanian frontier. and tele-
graphed both the American and the British
