AoRoITNEss OF DIPLOMACY.

He belonged to the school OF diplo-
macy which teaches that all things
must bc done with delicacy and adroit-
ness. He was convinced that empires
should he overthrown only through in
timations, hints and interferences. His
heavy artillery consisted OF vague coll
orings, faint nuances and slightly sug-
gestive tints. He had contempt for
the laundering, shirt slceved diplomacy
OF the Americans. He was the Per-
sian minister to the United States.
one day, as he was emerging from
the department of state in Washington,
after a conference with Mr.. Bryan, he
was approached by William ID. Hassett
who covers the diplomatic news for the
Associated Press.
Mr.. Minister" suggested Hassett,
with great Difference, the world would
like To know the result of your confer

The minister remembered his train
ing. He must do nothing i'm an abrupt,
sudden, or vulgar manner. The stage
must he set so that the winkling of an
eye might cause cataclysm.

The body OF "Bobs"-Lord Roberts

troops in France, would probably reach

and his friends, will be of a simple ma

France their commander telegraphed
"Bobs" that his men would appreciate

with a message Of appreciation, at the
same time telling when he would come.
When the field marshal reached France
the weather had become very bad, and
he was advised not to go to the front.
MY boys expect me and | am going
was the reply OF "Bobs."
He went and, though attempts we're
made to shield him from exposure, he
was drenched to the skin. Pneumonia
quickly developed and he died among
