It has been urged by a French auhor that Napoleon III entered Into e Crimean war on the side of Great rttaln because he had been well refcelved in the London clubs during phis sojourn in that country. But there might have been another potent factor Independent of the emperor's pleasant jiecol lections of the English, and that ilrwas the slight to which he was subjected by the czar of Russia, Nicho?las 1. j When Napoleon ascended the throne ;as emperor he notified all the reigning f sovereigns of the fact, addressing them I as "Monsieur mon frere. With the exception of the czar they replied adopting the same formula. Nicholas, however, began his reply. "Mon grand aml." This Is the style adopted by sovereigns when addressing presidents of republics. Napoleon fully underj stood the czar's meaning, j At the New Year's reception of the j diplomatic body he went up to Count Klsslew. the Russian ambassador, and ! said to him: i ! have received a letter from your sovereign which flatters me greatly.

THE BARBARIANS

Or, Rather, They're With Us All the Time, for It Is the Day of the Reign of the Mediocre and Unfit. Mistake About the Fittest Surviving.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Tree destruction is still on the rampage. The latest victims are the row of elms in front of the Country Club. To be sure these had been mutilated by the traction company in the past but they were still fine old trees. Every one has been cut down. And' t o make way for the traction company. The asslnine policy we pursue in matters of this sort is only equalled by the celebrated case of the man who bit off his nose to spite his face. But what's the use protesting! The world is in the hands of the barbarians. You see it on every hand. Not only in aesthetic aspects but in every important institution. Not excepting the educational. How often do you see mediocrity, superficiality and actual ignorance advanced over erudition and merit? You'll find this in any school sys tem. Teachers of experience and learning having to stand aside while the unfit are elevated to positions to which the former should have been advanced. School politics are, or is, famous or infamous, whichever way you care to look at or express it. Yet you will see the school politician holding sway year in, year out. The while he pulls the strings. Its the same everywhere. In the churches, in instance. You'll find any number of whited sepulchres and old hypocrites piously singing praises on the front seats and in the deacon's corner the while they tap wires for the championship of the finance committee and the appointment of the minister. Certain people always shake hands with other people. And give others the sanctified stare. It is too much to ask that everybody should be recognized. Especially if he happens to be able or have any ability. Ten to one these latter people are mashed right up against the wall and ground to a pulp. You'll find it this way in business institutions. The man of ability, oftener than not, never has his salary raised nor is he advanced in position. Generally he is too useful where he is.

Being conscientious he has familiarized himself with the details of his business and has possibly evolved its systematic arrangement in such a manner as to be invaluable to his employers. He's too good to advance. He's too necessary to promote. Thereforehe sits year in, year out, ! while the mediocre, the nervy, the unfit, the bluffer, the impudent is given recognition and precedence. Anywhere you will find the impertinent and insolent holding high sway over the able and the informed. It doesn't pay to be good.- Or the best of your kind. He who happens to be in this class may as well go live in the cellar. What he really should do is to watch the clock, shirk his duties, lie, steal, bullyrag, insinuate, side-step and play the great game of bluff with all his might and main and he'll have his salary raised every other time, sit In the leather-covered chair before the mahogany desk, issue orders through a tube and generally wallow in the limelight of the approval of his chiefs. "This isn't so!" you say. Isn't it? All you have to do is to step into the next corner grocery and take a few deep sea observations. It is recorded of W. D. Howells, the famous litterateur and the dean of American letters a modest and unassuming man that he was once informed by s.ome impudent little upstart w hen entering the editorial offices of a great magazine for which he conducted a department, that he was "late." That all the employes of that publishing house had to go on duty at a certain hour. The great man smiled, turned on his heel and never did come back. Although' delegations from the great publishing company waited on him and apologized and explained and argued. The worm will at times turn. But it remains true that the world is in the hands of the barbarians. Take a look at the facade, if It may so be put, of the average American municipality. That is the front, the outside.

and statues and other alleged "decorative accessories,' officials who murder the President's English and make their constituency a jeeiand a laughing-stock, civic undertakings in the hands of the ignorant and the grafter, and general reign of artistic and official chaos simply . because those

whose ambitions outrun their ability or fitness are pushed through the crowd by others of their own Ilk. while he who really has the genius for directing or creating or inaugurating sits on a stool and adds up columns of figures three hundred and sixty live days in the year or Is selling out at the remnant counter. The average human, in the nresent state of society, is vampirish. He fas tens himself, barnacle-like largely because he must to the bottom of the ship and there sticks whatever ihe storms that agitate the sea on which it sails. Never think for a moment that he loses sight of his own interest. When he seems to do so depend on it he has some object to gain, some point to make. He'll sell you out like our old friend Judas for thirty pieces of silver or any other price he can get. "Never depend on anybody," is prob ably unpleasant but an excellent basis from which to operate. For no-one is your friend when it conflicts with his self Interest. And it will be so as Ions: as society is organized on its present wolfish ba sis. Of every fellow for himself and the satanic gentleman from the pit to take the hindermost. What's this got to do with the trees in front of the Country Club? Oh, nothing in particular. Palladium Want Ads Pay.

loved ber truly. Of a sudden a nttie god appeared before ber and assured ber that her flan ?e loved ber passionately. "Your husband will live." be added, "as many years as the flower which I will let yon choose has petals." With these words he disappeared. The young girl hastened to search the garden for a flower which should bave an abundance of petals, bat each, one appeared to promise but a brief fature for ber beloved. At length she picked a Persian, carnation, and. with the aid of a gold pin taken from her hair, she separated each one of the petals of the flower se as to increase the number of follolea and of the number of years accorded by the god to her fiance. Soon under her deft fingers 100, 200. 300 petals, thin, pliant and ' beautifully curved, had been evolved, and the young girl cried for Joy to think of the bappy future which her ruse had assured ber fiance.

CRY OF THE GIRAFFE

It Is a Peculiar Sound Something Like m Sheep'e Bleat. Those who read the accounts of the giraffe in the textbooks and the descriptions glTen by travelers may bave noticed that no mention Is made of Its voice. Sportsmen, in fact, allude to its apparent Toicelessness. Nor so far as the records go baa It ever been beard in captivity. Tp to the present it appears that no one could say whether the cry of a giraffe was a groan, a bellow, a bleat or"a neigh; hence the record of the recent j experience or a naturalist in rasi amca. who has actually beard Its voice. Is of special Interest. Blaney Pcrclval. the naturalist In question."spent the day in concealment over a waterhole where the wild animals came to drink. He had at times seen giraffe and zebra drinking within thirty feet of him. While thus watching he bad the good fortune to hear the giraffe. It was making a bleating noise, but Mr. Ferclval says It Is quite impossible to describe the sound in writing. "The nearest 1 can get to it." he says, "is 'war're' rather drawn out. not just a "baa like a sheep, but more prolonged, and the softening at the end more noticeable. London Field.
