However the case may be with other
maritime countries neutral in the
great struggle now waging, Norway,
at least, is not only fuzzy alive TO the
opportunities for merchant bottoms
created by the war and which will
continue for years after the conflict
shall have closed. but is emitting no
effort to make the most of these op-
portunities, present and prospective.
Every Norwegian yard is building
ships with frantic energy, while Nor

sells in foreign countries wherever
they can find reliable firms willing

A Mistake About
a Wedding Gift
q, Holland

The late Jonas French, who some
fifteen or twenty years ago was the
leader of the Democratic organization
of the State Of Massachusetts, served
on the staff OF Gen. Benjamin f. But
Ter in the first year Of the civil war.
Between Mr.. French and Gen. Butler
an intimacy almost like that Of
brothers was established. There came,
however, time when an estrange-
nient occurred, and il was one which
caused Mr.. French to entertain
greyious resentment toward Gen.
Butler. That. however, was some
ten or twelve years after the close of
the civil war.
Out of this incident came Il circum-
stance which 1 have been told re-
veaied one of the characteristics of
zen. Butler. He could be as bitter and
dangerous an enemy as 1t was pos
siole Tor any man to encounter, but
no one was swifter TO forgive and
forget an injury or more ready to ap-
proach half way, or even more than
mat, in order to perfect a reconcile
alton.
Mr.. French was to be married. and
as he had a large number of friends.
many of whom were men of influence
IN Boston, he being himself a banker
OF high authority, the wedding was
spoken of as sure to be an event OF
social Importance. At that time Mr..
French and Gen. Butler were no
longer friends. Gen. Butler was looni-
ing up prominently as a candidate for
governor Of Massachusetts. an honor
which shortly afterward he secured.
Perhaps a week before the wedding
Gen. Butler called upon a common
friend, who was also an associate in
the banking business with Mr.. French.
aed said:
Il understand that Jonas is about
to be married. We have been some
what estranged, but il seems to me
that this is god time for us to be
reconciled. At all events, | want
to show him that whatever feeling
may have had is gone. have there
fore decided to send to him a wedding
present, and l ask you as a common
friend of both to place it in his
hands"
Having said this, Gen. Butler took
from his pocket a jewelers. box. and,
having opened it, exposed TO view a
diamond of wonderful purity. per-
fectly white and as large as a small
hlbert. It was set in gold ring.
The common friend said he had never
seen such a diamond. He asked Gen.
Butler why he did not himself give
the gift to Mr.. French To this Gen.
Butler replied that ne thought ii the
better part for common friend TO
take it to Mr.. French.
In day or two this common friend
met Mr.. French and said TO him that
he had a message as well as a we'd
ding present which he had been COM
missioned TO give him. When the
jewelers. box was placed in Mr..
Frenchs hands and he opened it and
saw the wonderful diamond, he was
so confused by the brilliancy of the
precious stone that he misunderstood
the common friend when he named
the donor. Mr. French understood
the friend to say that it was gift
from Gen. James II. Wilson. He went
away with that impression, rejoicing
that his friendship with Gen. Wilson
had caused the latter to send him a
present Of such brilllancy
and splendof.
