their arms about each other, fingered
for FIVE minutes, and then plunged
into the lake.

and, securing a long pole with an
iron hook, stabbed Sam in the pam

Then he fished Birdie out. Both were

ST. PETERSBURG, April 2O.-In spite
of the peaceful utterances of govern
ment officials in Europe and in Rus
STA, everybody knows that Russia is
making extensive preparations for
war, and that her rivals are on their
side making counter preparations for
the great struggle which must sooner
or later take place.
Russia has been spending enormous
sums in the construction of strategy
cal railways, and in this and other
ways the arrangements for the trans
portation of-large bodies of Russia
troops to the Austro-G German from
tier are almost completed.
This movement OF Russian forces
toward the frontier of Germany and
Austria would, four years ago, have
required six months time, while by
the use of the new strategic railroads
a months time is all that is necessa-
ry for the vast concentration of
troops, which is looked forward to
possibly in the near future

one Hundred r. Cent Increase.

There are but few, if any, of our
tobacco men who are not increasing
their capacity for work this year
their working force. This, of course,
means an increase over last years
production of manufactured tobacco
of a hundred per cent. 1t means
more, it means that twice the amount
of money spent in Winston last
year will be spent this year. There
will be more leaf bought, more
hands paid, more work done and more
money spent here than ever before
in the history of the city. Thus it
will be seen that the ground work
of Winston S prosperity, that which
has contributed more to her materi-
al development than anything else
is not only in fine and prosperous
condition, but the most prosperous
known in its history.
Her manufactured tobacco is find
ing a market in every city in the
world and making friends wherever
it goes. Like the city in which it is
made it is simply the best. The
doubt, should there ever any

manent prosperity, has long since
been dissipated by cold current of
facts. There is nothing that speaks
more eloquently or more emphatical
of her prosperous condition than
what we have stated. Six thousand
operatives constantly at work in
her factories and paid off weekly
and the purchase of fifteen million
pounds of leaf tobacco annually,
and the money for which put in rh e
pockets of farmers to spend here,
