luoaatly boon given of tbo petition for

of tho petition, the atate department
forwarded It to Ambassador McCor-
mick at 8t. Petersburg, although well
aware that the Russian government
could take no offlcial cognizance of it.
When the paper was laid on the table
before Count Lamsdorf, he said, “You
know I cannot receive thin." Then,
according to the story which Is re-
ported by Collier’s, Mr. McCormick re-
plied, “Let us talk for a few mlnuteu

merely Mr. McCormick. The time has
come when you can no longer disre-

and no more will be said.” In the end
Count Lamsdorf showed the petition
to the czar, who was sufficiently im-
pressed by it to ameliorate somewhat
the condition of the Jews.

"Much like that,” I answered. "Now,
why shouldn't you finance the ma-

takes It and wastes It In stock specu-

Naming the Spanish baby the prince
of the Asturias Is just a temporary ar-
rangement until the geographers and
the philologist* can get together and,
with the aid of relays of atenograph-
ers, fix up a permanent name for the
helpless infant. The real and official
name of a Spanish king is like a Chi-
nese play. You read part of It to-day
and come back to-morrow and the day
after to get the rest. It embraces
everything that the historians can
think of and a few more smooth-
sounding words thrown in for good
measure. One would judge from read-
ing the offlcial title of King Alfonso
XIII.. for instance, that he was the su-
preme ruler of the earth, the air, the
watera under the earth and New Mexi-
co, Alaska. Patagonia and all Inter-
mediate points. If you will notice,

the recent kings of Spain were stoop-

quality of cashmere comes in small

A Good Man and Hit Woes.
After Erl and I had carried the Fre-
donia election against Dunkirk's road,
we v ent fishing with Roebuck In the
northern Wisconsin woods. I had
two weeks, two uninterrupted weeks,
In which to Impress myself upon him;
besides, there was Ed, who related in
tedious but effective detail, on the
slightest provo<ation, the achieve-
ments that had made- him my devoted
admirer. So when, 1 went to visit
Roebuck in June, at his house* near
Chicago, he wu t ready to listen to
me in proper spirit.
I soon drew hint on to tell of his
troubles with I' :nklrk—how the r< na

"I have thought out a plan," said I,
