TURNED THE TABLES.
Two Incidents In the Careers of an
American and a BELGIAN.

Two Incidents In the Careers of an
American and a Belgian.
More than ten years before Belgian
relief was ever thought Of a young
American mining engineer who was In
charge Of important mining properties
In China received a visit early one
morning from burly Belgian. The
Belgian brusquely informed the young
American that he had come to take
charge Of the properties. The Ameri-
can had received no official notice Of
the change in management, and he did
not much like the manners of the Bel
gian, but he quietly accepted his new
status. He explained to the Belgian
that two heads often are better than
one and offered to help manage the
properties jointly. The Belgian ac-
copied
The two men worked together for
about six months. Then one day the
burly Belgian lost his temper and with
il his more experienced fellow mana
ger, for the young American promptly
resigned his position and left the en-
ploy Of the company.
The name Of the young American
was Herbert Clark Hoover.
Now observe how Nemesis pursues
proud mortalsl In October, 1914, this
same Belgian, at the suggestion of the
American ambassador In London,
called on an American who, Mr.. Page
said, was the logical man to head the
work Of relieving starving Belgium.
The American was Herbert G. Hoover

Here the resemblance stops, how.
ever. You cannot turn the meter
back and II does not run down. II
does you no good to neglect the gas

The man who will patent an attach.
