J. s. MINISTER
 GETS FINE OLD
 MOUSE FOR HOME

Prague, Oct 2S-CBy The Asso- ciated Press) When Richard Crane, the newly appointed United States minister to Czecho-SlovaKia, former ly secretary to Secret tary of State Lansing, took up his post in Prague. the government of the new republic assigned to him the magnificent palace of the Cardinal Archbishop of Prague, on the heights of Hradcany overlooking the city, directly across the way from the national capital.
 The palace was vacant because the Cardinal Archbishop had been an Austrian prince, and when the revo- lution of October 2S, 1918 - The Czech Fourth of July-took place, he was invited to leave along with all the rest of the Austro-Hungarian mo- bility, and compiled.
 Mir. Crane found around the state dining room pictures of the former Cardinal Archbishops in all the yer million and purple of their robes. In the audience chamber was a great throne, above which hung a large and splendid portrait of Pope Bene- dict XVI. In the big reception rooms leading off from il. he discovered g. lot of North American Indians dis porting themselves all over a set of priceless Gobelin tapestries, with here and there an ear-ringed negro slave.
 It seems that the GobeHns had or isinaIly been ordered and delivered to the then Empress Marfa-The teresa of Austria. They were sent to Prague C. o. D., and the price of the bill staggered even her imperial majesty. Being somewhat short of funds, she was about to send them back, when
 
 a noble of ample private means, offer ed to take them off her hands. The empress gladly assented and the Gobe4ins have remained a part of the furnishings of the handsome old house.
 So the United States minister re- ceives his guests and gives his inter views with the eighteenth century French conceptions of the original Americans" looking down upon him from the walls
