nothing, or attempted to laugh the mat
ter off.
You appear to have failed to grasp
my meaning said Prince Alexander II
said those lauies were under my protec-
ton"
I heard you and understood you"
quietly replied Lieutenant Maximoff.
Il require you to apologize for what
you said"
Il said nothing that requires any apol-
ogy or explanation. 1 think the ladies
appreciated my telling them that I I'M
derstood their thoughtless remarks"
The Prince insisted on an apology, and
cards were exchanged. When seconds
came to Maximoff he sent them back
with the remark that he had intended
no insult or slight to Wittgenstein or his
companions, and did not wish to fight
about such people. Wittgenstein threat
ened to insult Maximoff publicly If he
did not fight The duel was accordingly
fought on the Wittgenstein estates near
this city. Wittgenstein fired first, and
the ball passed through Maximoff's hair.
Maximoff fired low, intending to wound
Wittgenstein in the leg. He aimed too
high, and the ball pierced the abdomen.
Wittgenstein walked to the house, hold
ing his hand over the wound, but died
several days later.
Lieutenant Maximoff will probably be
dismissed from the army. Indeed, it is
rumored that he has already been dis
graced.
The Wittgensteins are immensely rich
and are of royal blood. Prince Alexan-
der was the second cousin of the present
head of the house of His Serene High
ness Prince Wittgenstein. The deceased
was a lieutenant in the escort of His
Majesty and Lieutenant Maximoff was
members of one of the Guards regi-
ments The funeral was attended by the
leading members of society.

AN AUTOMOBILE BANK.
Novel and Advanced Means For Saving
Adopted by French Pensnntry.

Adopted by French Peasantry.
People in this country have heard
OF automobiles as mail wagons, ON
nlbuscs. ambuances. gun carriages
and wagons for parcel delivery. but
probably few are aware that there
exists an automobile bank. Such,
however, Is the case. ana the new in
stltution Is the property of the town
Of MCzcrcs, I'm the Ardcnncs, France.
For some time past the fact has
been recognized by the leading citi-
Zcns Of McZicros that there exists
strong desire on the part Of the peas
antry of that place to lay aside part
Of their earnings for "a rainy day"
but I'm order to reach savings bank
they have been compelled to leave
their work and come into town, which
meant. to many, journey OF several
miles. In the summer months, when
the country folks were busy, such a
trip occupied more time than could
well hc afforded, and. i'm consequence,
the banks deposits decreased notice
ably during three or four months of
the year. Now, instead of having To
so to the bank to deposit their saw
ings, residents on the outskirts OF
Mc2ieres will have the bank brought
To them.
In construction the new vehicle is
unique. 1t Is propelled by electricity
and has four seats, one i'm front for
the driver and three In the rear TO-
the staff of the institution. These
seats surround revolving table. To-
Gated in the centre of the carriage,
on which the business of the bank
may be transacted. Writing desks.
capable Of being folded up when not
in use. are arrangcd over each of the
seats In such a way that when open
they extend out from the sides OF the
carriage in a manner suitable for the
use of persons standing outside who
desire to open an account with the
bank. On the table are to bc found
shelves FOR books, adequate stationery
for the use OF the clerks and small
metallic strong box.
ON certain prcarranged days the
car will make tour of the country
districts, stopping here and there as
long rs it may bc necessary to dis
pose OF the business in hand.
ON all sides the scheme SO far has
mot with approval; the bank clerks.
especially, having welcomed the inno-
walton heartily, masmuch as it will
afford them an opportunity to breathe
the fresh country air during the hot
weather. Apparently, all that the
pcasantry are disturbed about is that
some time the new vehicle may con
tain visitors whom they don't care
to see. such rs the district roadmas-
tc" or the collector OF taxes. If, how
ever, its original purpose is carried
out. the automobile bank seems likely
To prove very popular and successful.

And Farmer Stone sprang into the
ditch and lifted her gently out of the
narrow quarters In which she had
been tOiling so hcrOically.
A few minutes later the work was
completed. The two pipes were joined
by Joshua. who had provided himself
with rude kit OF tools for that pur
pose. Then they all three hastened
down to the water trough in the barn
yard.

And that was the end OF all the trou-
Bile. But the Town Board did a fBe
thing for Joshua and Mcttie. when, a
few months later, they set mp the

body one Of the members made Il mo
ton that a pipe be laid from the vii

NOlutne OF
Washington, -. C.-The comparative
Ggures prepared each month by the
Treasury Bureau Of Statistics show
that the domestic exports from the
United States are greater than those
from any other country, and that the
monthly average during the year 1901
has been higher than that of any other
country. For the nine months enCing
with September our exports OF domes-
tic products were Sl,C24, ,GOJ, ISL,
against S1,O1SSi5, ,TGS from the United
Kingdom, the next largest eXpor -er of
domestic products, in the same period.
The totals of the exports of Ger
many France, Russia. Netherlands and
India during the latest available years
show not only that the United States
is clearly in the lead as an exporter,
but that the growth in her exports
has been more rapid than that Of any
other great exporting nation.
In the year 1900 the figures for the
United States were 81, ,453.0l3,659 of
exports of domestic products, against
Si9T. .263. 131 in 1915, nn increase of
