Nelson o'shauehnessy.

He makes the abstract sound like the
concrete In remarkable way.
He was appointed first by Roosevelt
in 1904 as secretary to Copenhagen
at the age of twenty-seven He was
one of those rich young fellows in New
York city who ran to clothes, tennis
and money. Some people call them
'clubmen," though of course he would
sooner eat soup with his knife than
use such an expression. His family
wished him into the diplomatic service
because he did not care enough for
money to work for 1t.
The Republican senators of his state
held his appointment up. but Roose-
finally showed 1t through.
In 1905 he was transferred to Berlin
as third secretary and played tennis
with the crown prince. In 1907 he
went to Vienna. where he stayed four
years.
He was distinguished in neither
place except as a jolly good fellow
which nobody can deny-and chap
whose taste in gentlemens shirtings,
suitings and sockings was infallibly
prophetic.
He was offered the appointment as
minister to Bucharest. but some OF his
jealous friends had his appointment
held up in the senate. hoping to get
him better one.
He knew nothing of this at the time,
but was blamed for 1t. and for discip-
line he was given second secretaryship
co Mexico. This was in the days be-
fore the excitement and automatically
a distinct step downward.
Doubtless he was expected u, re-
sign, but he didn't, and his reward
followed quickly. A month after
O'Shaughnessy' arrival in Mexico
City Diaz fed, and the Mexican post
became the most important in our
service. Then o'Shaughnessy forgot
about shirtings and tieings. For big
show was coming off and he wanted to

BY JOSEPH MEpLL PATTERSON.

Special Correspondent OF the Chicago Trib-
at Vera Cruz
Vera Cruz.-For the last ten months
Nelson O'Shaughnessy has held the
most important job in the diplomatic
service of the United States. He has
been charge d'affaires in Mexico.
which means he has been steadily fin
gering the most inflamed spot in our
foreign relations.
That he has showed well a trnly
amazing combination of cunning, cour-
tesy and calm is evident not only from
the grateful testimony of the Ameri-
can refugees now in Vera Cruz. but
also from his achievement in getting
on comfortably with three successive
Mexican governments, all bitterly an
tagonistic to each other, first with the
old regime Of Porfirio Diaz. then with
the Madero revolutionists. who tried
him out, then with the Huertistas, who
turned Madero into his grave.
Undoubtedly If O'Shaughnessy had
waited In Mexico City for the ultimate
arrival of General villa he would have
been teaching that eminent generals

son 'Shaughnessy. but his work is
artistic. He sits and smiles and bushes
a trifie and shows white teeth like an
embarrassed youth conversing with a
debutante. He breeds confidence
easily. You tell him what you know
and then he tells you what you know,
and when you go you are impressed
with his exceptional penetration and
hope to meet him again and have an
other talk about Mexico. He doesn't
say anything in particular, but a whole
lot in general, and says 1t charmingly.

A SIMPLE WAY TO BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR
Easily Done at Home and At
 Trifling Expense.

The hair is like fiower-it must have care and proper nourishment. Just as plant without air and water withers and dies, so will the hair go if not given proper nutriment. The scalp must be perfectly healthy and free from dandruff. as the scalp is to the hair what good soil is to plants and flowers.
 If your hair is not pretty; if it is losing it's color, too dry, matted, fall ing out, or if the scalp itches, you can quickly overcome all of these condi- tions by using Parisian Sage, which supplies every hair need. It soaks right in to the hair roots, stfrap- lating them and furnishing the nour- ishment that is needed for the hair to grow not only long and heavy. but fluffy soft, lustrous and gloriously radiant.
 You can get a bottle of this mex pensive yet delightful and helpful hair tonic from Lee & Osgood Co.,, or at any drug or toilet counter. Improve ment begins with the very first appli- cation-besides stopping the scalp ir- ritation it removes every bit of dan druff. The use of this unequaled hair tonic will surely give your hair new life and beauty.

Petitioned for by Citizens Through the
 Common Council

An alI-night street light service in the business section every night in the week throughout the year has been petitioned for by citizens of Putnam through its common council. The pe- tition sets forth that the lights as asked for are needed not only for the better accommodation of traffic and persons who are obliged to be out, but as a protection against burglary and other crimes the commission Of which is facilitated by the darkness pro vdfng in the city during the hours Of tho night when the street lights arc not in service.
