STORIES WHOLLY FALSE Cerrespondence Between Ambassador Wilson, at Mexico City, and Presi- dent Taft Does Not Contain the Word “Japan”—Increase in Battle- ship Construction Said to Be Real Reason for Agitation. ‘Washington, April 12, — Senator Stone of Missouri, who was at the White House, declared that in his opinion the repeated efforts to con nect Japan with the movement of American troops to the Texas frontier was done for “some unholy purpose.” “Persistent reports of war between the United States and Japan have been circulated for years,” said Sena- tor Stone, “for the apparent purpose of encouraging a strong naval policy by the. government. 1 would not be surprised if the present talk connect- ing Japan and Mexico was inspired by the same powerful sources as the war talk in the past.” Representative David J.

T —— Diana_of Philadelphia. At the mint in Philadelphia are a number of coins far more precious than any which find their way into circulation, They are a collection of curios, and many of them date from times of great antiquity. Perhaps the most interesting among them.is a haudsome coin bearing on its face the profile of a woman which has a strik- ing resemblance to the goddess of Liberty of our own currency. Under- neath is the single word “Demos,” which is the Greek for people. On the reverse of the coin is a beautiful figure of the goddess Diana arching her bow, and the inscription trans- lated into English reads, “Diana, Friend of the Philadelphians.” The cofn was minted more than 2,000 years ago at the city of Philadel- phia, in Asia Minor, where there grew up in later years one of the seven churches of which St. John writes. The prize was discovered some years ago in Europe by a citizen of our own Philadelphia, himself an authority on coins. By him it-was appropriately presented to the mint in Philadelphia. —New York Press. Carlyle’s Sneer at Gladstone. J. E. Boehm, the sculptor, once met Gladstone at a country house and was immensely impressed by the extent and civersity of the statesman’s knowl- edge as revealed in his conversation. Boehm was still full of the subject ‘when the morning arrived for Carlyle’s sitting for a bust, and to the philoso- pher the sculptor poured forth his ad- miration for Gladstone’s intimate ac- quaintance with subjects so far apart as gardening and Greek. Carlyle lis- tened for a time In scornful silence; then he said, “And what did he say about your work?" *“Oh, nothing" sald Boehm. ““‘He doesn’t know any- thing about scnlpture’” “Of course,” growled Carlyle, “of course, and he showed his knowledge about things that you didn’t understand. No doubt it yon asked Blackie he'd say that Gladstone knew nothiog about Greek, | and the gardener would tell you that he knew nothing whatever of garden- ing.” ‘How Sheridan Paid a Debt | No one knmew better the power pos- sessed by a really polished compliment | than Sheridan, and on innumerable oc- casions during that rather stormy the- | | atrical management of his did he ex | tricate Dimself from a difficulty by ! means of one. A good instance is the | following: An English nobleman who had married a beautiful actress once | applied with much dignity in the| greenroom to Mr. Sheridan for the ar- | rears of her salary and vowed that he would not stir till they were paid. “My dear lord,” said the impecunious manager, “this is too bad. You have! taken from us the brightest jewel in | | the world, and you now quarrel with | | us for the little dust she has left be- hind her.” The nobleman immediately burst out | Jaughing, and the debt was canceled.— | | London Standard. | Graveyard Marriages. A strange custom prevails among a certain tribe in the Caucasus. When a single young man dles some one calls upon a bereaved parent who has car- | | ried to the grave a marriageable daughter in the course of a year and says: “Your son is sure to want a wife. T'll give you my daughter, and you shall deliver to me the marriage portion in return.” A friendly offer of this description is nmever rejected, and the two parties soon come to terms as to the amount of the dowry, which | varies according to the ndvunmgesl possessed by the girl in her lifetime. | Cases have been known where the! young man’s father has given as much ! as thirty cows to secure a dead wife for his dead son. Lightning Rods. i There were no lightning rods in an- clent times. The first one that the world ever saw was set up by our own {llustrious countryman Benjamin | Franklin shortly after the year 1752 He bad just had his celebrated experi- ment with the kite, in which he dem- onstrated the identity of lightning with electricity, and was therefore prepared for the comstruction of the rods for which the world had svaited so long. It {8 not generally known that Franklin was as distinguished In sclence as he was In statesmanship and diplomacy.—Exchange. As It Really Was.
