By the Associated Pres NEW YORK, April 28.—When the John Jacob Astor of 1826 decided to dun former President James Monroe for an old loan he delicately sand- wiched his request between congratu- lations and best wishes This is revealed in an autographed Astor letter just sold by the American Art Galleries. Dated in this city Apri, 1826, and addressed to “Honle. James Monroe,” the communication reads: . “Dear Sir: “Permit me to congratulate you on vour honorable retirement (from Public Life) in which I most sincerely wish vou may enjoy that Peace and Tran- quility to which you are so justly en- titled. “Without wishing to cause you any inconveniency on account of the loan which I so long since made to you I would be glad if you would put it in a train of settlement if not ‘whole let it be a part with the interest due. “I hope Dear Sir that you and Mrs. Monroe.enjoy the best of health and that you may live years to witness Reg US.

Though I must get back home without the loss of an unnecessary minute, if you hadn’t arrived ahead of time I must have stood fast, eating my heart out. You'll take charge here, Joe, and Markwa will help me up the Wabis- kaw as far as the depot. I can get a horse there for Athabasca. Markwa will return in six days, possibly bring- ing a man with him. Anyhow, the agent will send a relief without delay.” Mosquito Joe tickled his scalp with HALANCE OF THE feet. “I don't exactly know as how that plan will altogether suit neether me nor the agent,” he said perplexedly. “It's going through, if I have to padlock you to the leg of the table,” announced Jim. “Well, if you put it thata way, T guess- ** Joe threw out his hands in token of surrender. “Mind you, the notion’s yours, all of it, an’ you re- Indian mind, which may be either pro- foundly deep or indescribably empty.
