huge mustachios, which divide his face into
two distinct entities. Once during the Man

stcppes until he overlook the Cossack COM
mander at Tchita. He explained his quest
TO the general and soon the entire corps was
ready to parade before the camera man.

MANY Of the big events in the worlds
IKl history come to America first from an
unexpected quarter and in an irresponsible
mysterious manner I recall that week
before we received the official account of the
result of Dewey's battle in Manila Bay, a
brief dispatch came from Paris to the effe ?
that the battle had been Fought and the
American fleet had not lost a single vessel
The astonishing character of the informa-
tIon made most people loath to believe 1t
until a week later when the regular dis
patches from correspondents verified the
fact.
How did Paris receive the first word? 1t
has always been suspected that 1t got 1t
from Spain before Dewey could cut the
cable. And this appears to be the only
reasonable theory.

THE first report that the Treaty of Client
j had been completed and peace estab-
lshed with Great Britain reached Phiadel-
pha in a most mysterious manner and fully
a week before Washington had official ad-
vices AS we expect to celebrate the CEN
tennial anniversary of the conclusion of the
peace of Client this year. this little known
story may be of interest now.
The treaty was signed on Christmas Eve,
1914, but sailing vessels did not cross the
Atlantic in those days with the speed of
modern ocean liners, and there was neither
cable nor wireless to transmit the news.
However, early in the year 1916 mysterious
stranger called upon President Madison at
Washington one evening and brought him
the news.
That night this same mysterious stranger
sent letter to John Binns, who published
the Democratic Press in this city, giving
him the same news. Probably no modern
newspaper owner would have done what
Binns did. Any newspaper receiving such
important news today would instantly get
out an extra edition, for the whole country
was waiting patiently for word that peace
had been concluded.

DUT Binns, not knowing from whom the
- news came, and fearing that it was
rumor intended to influence prices of cotton,
rice and other home products hesitated. The
letter which anonymous, reached the
editor one morning. He read it and then
meditated upon his next step. He feared
that the information was so important. that
it would be risky to consult any person as
to his next step. He had visions of a specu-
lator booming the prices of some home
products or causing fall in the prices of
those imports such as tea, sugar, coffee and
other goods which had been laid away in
large quantities by some of our long-headed
merchants
No person in Philadelphia had received
even a suggestion of the news Binns made
it his business to mix among men likely to
have heard such a report, but no one ap-
preached him with rumors of that kind. Late
in the afternoon, however, he sent the let
ter to the Merchants Coffee House, and had
it placed in the coffee house books, with
his name as authority In no time the whole
water front was busy getting ships in readi-
ness to send them to the South for cotton
and rice. The merchants were reader to
accept the news than Binns He printed
the news in his paper the next day.

president MADISON received the news
i in the same manner and spirit. One eve
ming a person, not known in Washington,
presented himself at the Presidents House.
He was met by Madisons private secretary,
Edward Coles, afterward the second Cover
nor of Illinois, who listened to the strang
ers story The private secretary asked the
stranger to remain seated until he carried
his message to the President The latter
was much surprised at both the information
and the method by which it was brought to
him, and then told Coles to admit to him
the mysterious courier. Madison wanted to
have look at the man, and to determine
if he was worthy of belief. He also called
to his aid the Postmaster General, r. j.
AIeigs, and the two questioned the stranger
closely.
After long conversation, the President
seemed satisfied, yet no information on the
subject came from the Presidents House
until the confirming official dispatch arrived
some days later, by which time the news
had already penetrated through large part
of the country.
