A Happy Man at Last.

Cedar Rapids Republican,: In San

business man, Jesse w. Lillienthal,
the president of the United Railways
Of that city. Some years ago he de-
cided, and so announced, that he had
made enough money and that he did
not propose to store up any more for
his family, since his family could sub
sist within reason on the income of
what he had accumulated. Having
that much, he asked. why should he
go on piling up more, even If he
could do so? What object could be
be served he asked, by him striving
with might and main to add to the
pile that he would have to watch and
guard and protect with his life? What
honor would it be to him or to his
family to have it said that they had
untold millions? Would it not rather
be a discredit and a dishonor to him
to go on with such selfish accumula,
tons?
And so he quit. He kept making
money, salaries, incomes and so on
coming in all the time, but not dol
lar Of that all did he lay up in his
store houses and vaults. What he
could not spend legitimately on his
family-and he did not believe in
silly expenditures even on his own
family-he gave to the various insti
tutions and charities. The results he

been given in reply to inquiries sub

in flour. The new law specifies that
after the first day of January, 1918,
a barrel of flour must weigh 1856

RISE OF THE EMBASSY.

San Francisco Argonaut: 1t was

century that the permanent embassy

came a generally recognized inst1tu

for the republic, but in the summer
of the same year Andrea Trevisano
arrived in London as permanent am
bassador at the court of Henry VII.
1t was about this period that ther
began to be evolved that ideal Of
diplomacy which Machiavelli ex-
pounds with such thoroughness in

Livy," an ideal best indicated, per-
.haps, in Sir Henry Wotton's famous
definition, can ambassador is an
honest man sent to lie abroad for the
good of his country" So universally
was this ideal accepted and elabor-
ated that the "compleat ambassador"
of the old school never expected to
be believed.
In the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries the position of ambassa-
doris was anything but comfortable.

Fire Engines, Funerals and Street
cars-As exceptions to the general
laws of right-of-way, some things
must be avoided by the motorist in
his travels in city streets.
When fire department apparatus is
heard approaching from any direc-
ton, at once pull up close to the
right hand curb and stop until it
passes. This applies especially when
the firemen are using the siren horn
for warning. When they are re-
turning to the station, generally in
dicated by bell or gong warning,
they are treated like other motor
trucks.
While generally without any legal
special rights, funeral professions
should be treated with the greatest
consideration by motorists. The
etiquet of the matter is as follows:
never cut through a funeral process
sion, but wait until it passes if you
meet it at right angles; if you meet
it dead ahead, get we'll over to the
right and pass quietly at reasonable
speed; if you overtake it, stay be-
hind until you see the road clear far
ahead and then move well over to
the left and pass quickly and quietly,
unless you can choose the better
route around a block or two to get
ahead of the procession and stay
there.
The rule about street cars is to
pass them like other vehicles when
they are single track--to the left
when overtaking them. but when
