MIR. Fortescue Evidently Made Miscue

ORIG. GEN. STAYDEN, comman-
- dant Of the military academy at
West Point, under direction of Secre-
tary Weeks, recalled an invitation TO
John William Fortescue, British his
torian TO address the cadets. A state
ment issued by the secretary said the
reason for his action was found IN
statements contained In book written
by Fortescue. The secretary quoted
this passage:
Americans esteem good bargain,
even If gained by dishonorable means,
to mark the highest form Of ability.
The United States cannot engage in
any form of competition with us, from
athletics to diplomacy. without using
foul play. They must win, If not by
fair skill. then by prearranged trickery
or violence; If not by open negotia-
lions, then by garbled maps and
forged documents. There is the fact.
1t may be unpleasant, but 1t cannot be
denied"

Seniority Succession Rule in the Senate

litical sentiment Of that body and abo-
lition of the seniority succession rule
are advocated by Senator Medill Nc
Cormick (Ill.) in a letter he sent to
Senator Lodge. Republican senate
leader. The letter says in part:
1--WE owe the country the creation OF
such a steering committee and the
abolition of the binding seniority rule
"We know that although In a ma
jority of instances the men who have
become chairmen through seniority
have been good chairmen. there have
been others who were untitled for their
posts by reason Of extreme age or fail
ing health, or because of grave differ
ences Of opinion with the majority OF
their Republican associates.
II would be the last to challenge the
right or the duty Of senator to as

This is q bankers answer as to

II 1t is made clear that the receiver
of the check has not, in fact, received
payment, then the endorsed check,
marked paid, is not, in fact. acceptable
evidence that payment has been made
When a bank pays a check 1t goes
on the assumption that the man who
receives the money as well as the man
who draws the check Is responsible,
and therefore, II the check proves to
be not good, the man who received
the money is held responsible. He,

the choir because they were all people
who lived here and everyone knew
them. Then we explained in short,
simple sentences that the sermons
were Of no value, and that the names
were what we desired. She dropped
her eyes and said meekly, "Ohw and

When she went out. the Young Prince,

who was busy writing up the Epworth
league convention.
Miss Bottoms name was always
among the lists we printed of the
guests at the Entire Nous Card club,
the Imperial Dancing club, the "Giddy
Young Things" club, the Art club and
and Shakespeare club. But when she
came to the Office she was full of
anxiety at the frivolity Of society.
She said that she longed for intellec-
tual companionship; that she felt
sometimes as If she must fly to place
where she could find a soul that would
feel in unison with the infinite that
thrilled In her being. Far be 1t from
her to wish to coin the pulsations OF
her soul, but papa and mamma did
need her help so. She accented papa
and mamma on the last syllable and
leaned forward and looked upward
like a shirtwaist Madonna. But writ

ment that Maybelle had used five hun
dred yards of baby-ribbon-pink and
blue and white and yellow-in her
trousseau, and that she was bestowing
the same passionate ferv0r on her hem
stitching and tucking that she had
wasted on literature; that she was
helping papa and mamma by shoulder
ing the biggest wedding on them since
the TomlinsOns went into bankruptcy
after their fireworks ceremonial. Miss
Larrabee said that Papa Bottoms
livery-stable was burning up so fast
that she wanted to call out the fire de-
partment, and that Mamma Bolton
made her think Of the patent-medicine
testimonials we printed from poor
tired women"
The day of the wedding the blow
came. A very starched-up little boy
with strawberry juice frescoed around
his mouth brought In note from May
belle and a tightly rolled manuscript
tied with baby-blue ribbon. In the
note she said that she thought 1t would
be so romantic to write up her own
wedding-recalling the dear. dead days
when she was a neophyte in letters.
We handed the manuscript to Miss
Larrabee, from whom, as she read
came snorts: "'Drawing-room! Huh

Bolton droop, with another disap-

closely.
We did not see Miss Bolton at the
office for a long time after the duke
abducted the lady in the moated

came an anonymous communication In
