wrote one good dramatic act, in An

IS as follows.

gives free rein TO her vanity as 10 his

The one great blemish 10 all this per

knowledge OF a shady transaction at

an banker a state secret. the knowl-
edge OF which was manipulated to
the great pecuniary advantage of both
parties. The banker is now dead and
the Minister believes his one sin of a
lifetime is known only to himself.
Suddenly he is threatened with dis
closure of il His efforts TO avoid this
makes it necessary that he should tell
his wife the disgraceful truth. Public
exposure is avoided. but though the
wife's love remains, her ideal is shat

UNCLE SANS 1908 BARGAIN.


The territory inclnded in the Lou
isiana purchase cost the United States
sl5.OOO.OO0 in 1908. At per cent. com
pounded semiannually, money doubles
itself in about fourteen years. By such
calculation that $4,000. 900 put out at
interest would now amount to some
thing like 1890. 100000.
In the year 1900. according TO official
estimates just published. the agricul-
tural products OF the States and Terri
tories included in the old Louisiana
tract amounted to one hundred times
the original purchase price-to ST.
10000. 000 And to be added to this
immense sum there were millions OF
dollars obtained from gold, silver. zinc
and iron mines.
A single year thus returns from the
land itself almost every dollar which
hundred years would have brought
from the original purchase price put
at interest That year. moreover. is
but the GROWING one OF long series
with constantly increasing values.
1t Is not with vain boasting that ST.
Louis. and through her the whole ma.
