A PAIR OF BOOTS
They Figured In an Amusing Case of
Mistaken Identity
H may be doubted if there ever oc
curred a more amusing instance of
mistaken Identity than that afforded
by Theodore Hook the English humor
ist of his time and it all came about
through a pair of boots Hook was
traveling along the south coast of Eng
land and arrived in the course of his
journey at Dover
Alighting at the Ship hotel he chang
ed Uis boots ordered a slight dinner
and went out for a stroll through the
town Returning at the appointed
tne he was surprised to find the
whole establishment in confusion A
crowd had collected outside the door
The master of the house was standing
at the foot of the stairs with two can
dles in his hands and on Theodores
entrance he walked backward before
him and conducted him into the prin
cipal saloon where all the waiters
were standing and a magnilicent re
past had been provided The wit was
much amused at the dignity to which
he had been promoted but being an
easy going fellow made no scruples
and sitting down did full justice to
what was set before him Next day
he signified his intention of departing
and ordered a coach when to his as
tonishment a carriage and four drove
up to convey him to his destination
He inquired with some apprehension
what he was to pay for all this gran
deur and was no less astonished than
gratified on receiving the answer
Nothing whatever your royal high
ness He was never more thoroughly
mystified but the next night on tak
ing off his boots which he had bought
ready uiadi just before he went to
Dover he found U S U the Prince
of Orange written inside them They
had been originally made for the
prince who was then in England suing
for the hand of Princess Charlotte
and notice had been given that all his
expenses while in the country should
be set down to the charge of the gov

RUSSIAN AUDACITY
Tho Coup That Made Persia a Finan
cial Vassal of the Bear
In 1S92 the Imperial Bank of Persia
a British institution lent the Persian
government 2000000 on the security
of the customs receipts of the gulf
ports In 1S93 Persia finding herself
again hard up desired to borrow 6
000000 more from the same source
and on the same ample security But
before the British bankers would grant
the additional loan they must needs
quibble and procrastinate and insist on
still further conditions Finally how
ever 2f0O0O of Persian bonds were
underwritten in Loudon Russia hear
ing of the affair at the eleventh hour
and fifty ninth minute promptly offer
ed Persia a much larger loan on much
better terms and she did no haggling
either Persia finding herself in the
embarrassing position of having two
parties suing for her financial hand at
the same time and not daring to of
fend either of them thought to es
cape from the predicament by not bor
rowing at all
But so persistently and skillfully did
Russia urge her suit that in 1900 Per
sia timidly yielded to the ardent woo
ing and acknowledged her submission
by accepting from Russia a loan of
nS75000 for seventy five years at
the same time agreeing that all pre-
and no more incurred until this one
was discharged without the permission
of the Russian Banque Desprets do
Perse Within less than a month
therefore 5000000 rubles 2500000
were remitted to London to pay off
the British loan of 1S92 thereby free
ing Persia from any British financial
control There has been no more au
dacious and successful stroke of diplo
macy in modern times for by it Persia
became a financial vassal of the bear
