HE KNEW ALL ABOUT SIAM
Had Even Heard of the Famous Twino
From That Country.


One day President Cleveland sent for
John Barrett. now director of the bu.
reau of American republics. and said:
Mr. Barrett. am looking for some
young man who is not afraid of hard
work and who wants to make a repu-
tation for himself. to 60 as minister to
Siam to settle the claim of DR.. NJ. A.
Cheek involving several million dol
lars. and also involving some delicate
matters in connection with the inter-
probation of our treaties with oriental
countries. This particular case is one
! of the most important we now have in
the orient You have received strong
Endorsements from the Pacific coast
as consul general to Yokohama, but
the Office was filed when your recon-
mendations arrived. Will you accept
the position as minister to Siam2 But
first, what do you know about Siam?"
Mr. Barrett couldn't remember wheth-
er Siam was In Asia or Africa, but a
little thing like this didn't bother him.
so he said. "Mr. President. know all
about SIAM
well, what do you know about
Siam?" said Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr.. Barrett was stumped for d Sec
ond. and then said, why. Siam is the
country that produced the famous ST.
amese twins"
Mr.. Cleveland, with a twinkle in his
eye. arose gravely and said. as he
shook hands with Mr.. Barrett: "Mr.
Barrett. l am happy, indeed. to get
hold of man with such profound
knowledge and abundant information
about Siam. As matter Of fact, am
glad you know nothing about 1t. as
you will not be prejudiced one way or
the other in regard to the questions
to be settled there"
Mr.. Barrett went to Siam, where he
stayed for four years. At the time Of
his appointment he was twenty-six
years old and was the youngest minis
ter plenipotentiary that the United
States had ever appointed.-Portland

HOLLAND IN BAD STRAITS
Hard for Little Monarchy to Maintain Neutrality and Keep It's Ancient
 Friendships.

To the man in the street in Am- sterdam or Rotterdam neutrality means "the hell of war without the compensating glory'
 Holland at large has now the care of three hundred thousand, Belgian refugees, who, living together in spe- cially constructed villages, have to be fed and lodged and kept as happy as circumstances allow. The work is done with devotion, but the glory of war is absent. On all sides danger still turks. Fiercer than ever. Eu- ropean confagration burns about this single spot.
 With its commerce hampered upon all sides, with it's legitimate trade made impossible by the illegitimate rules of arbitrary neighbors, Holland continues in its self-imposed task. She has been abused by her neigh bors for her lukewarmness in what they consider holy cause, she has lost all chances of future political reward by her abstention from the conflict; yet future generations will recognize that during those very diff fcult days little Holland calmly maintained just neutrality while ministering to those who innocently were made to uffer.-Hendrik Van Loon, in Century Magazine.

YOUTHFUL VICTIMS OF WAR
Grim Toll Is Levied on the Best of the Citizens of Countries
 Involved in Strife.

Wars toll is taken in the flesh of youth. It is the future of the land, not it's past, that follows the flag to death. More tears are shed for sons than for fathers, husbands or broth CTS. It Is not only from among those of greatest youthful vigor that war does its recruiting; it sacrifices many who are still mere children. Midshipmen of fifteen are going down with their ships in every naval engagement of the present war. Oth- CTS hardly older are filling the ranks of the infantry and guides.
 Our Civil war was fought by ar- mics in which the average age of enlisted men was only nineteen and of officers but twenty-three. In any country which raises its troops through voluntary enlistment boys are bound to be in the majority. For 1t is youth which rushes to the colors without thought of the horror that lies ahead, without the outstretched hands of dependents to hold it back.
 One sickens when he contemplates what this slaughter of Europe's youth means to he future of science, art and business. We shall never know what a wealth of budding gen. jus withered at the cannon's mouth. New York Mail.

Device to Save Time.

A new device brought out by an
Englishman puts an end to waste of
time in using the telephone. The in
vention is called an amplitier and can
be connected with the receiver by
pressing a button. By this simple
arrangement one does not have to wait
at the telephone while the person at
the other end goes in search Of the
person you seek. Instead. the ampli-
fer is switched on. The receiver can
then be placed on the desk and work
of the caller resumed. When the
party sought calls his tone is greatly
increased by the ampliier and can be
heard across a large-Sized room.
