Mr.. Alfred B. Shepp rsou, in COM
nunicauon in the Evening Post Of New
York. calls attention to the circulars Of
/ man in Philadelphia who so,ioits peo-
lie in various parts Of the country to
ntrust their money to him to be US
or their benefit in Gotten spe2ulAu- ms.
The promise held out is a profit Of fifteen
0 twenty por cent. per m nth. TO c
o whom the rculars are sent arc It'd
that their money VIII be safer in the
hands OF tho cotton spscu ator than in

curse gives the name Of the individual
who can make forum 5 so qui ky for
those who are willing to become his Gus

a little queer that man Wild is so fortu-
late as always to make money In cotton
populations, and never to lose it, sAculd
want to divide his profits with others in
stead of speculatirg for his own account
md keeping all of his winnings.
1t is a little queer of course, assuming
that the Spectator is honest, but the
presumption is that he is not honest, and
that those who entrust their money to
aim will never have the Oh luck of see
ing it again. But what Is the use OF
warning people? The great majority of
those who answer circulars ike the one
to which Mr.. Shepperson calls attention,
know the kind of a person they are deal
,ng with and take the chances of getting
one big profit and their principal, or else
they are so utterly lacking in common
sense that they are certain to lose their
money sooner or later in foolish schemes
Of one kind and another. They do not
heed warnings. If they are kept out of
one rascally scheme they are certain to

lieved that he was a swinder, but aimed
to make a little money before he was

however, were so gullible that it is

very next get-rich-quick scheme to which
their attention was called. Still, Mr.

the New York Telegraph. His new top

The EngIishmnn's Frank Toast.

well-known local minister. who has
just returned from an extended Western
trip, tells the following story, Says the
Albany Journal:
Recently in Los Angeles five prom 'nent
gentlemen of foreign birth CHANGED to
meet. One was a Russian, one a Turk
one Frenchman, one an American and
one an Enghshman These gentlemen be-
came bosom friends, and finally a cham
payne supper was propo sed, at which each
gentleman, to be in keeping with the
times, was to give a toast to his native
country, the one giving the best to be at
no expense for the wine. Here are the
toasts given:
The Russian-"Here's to the Stars and
Bars of Russia that were never pulled
down."
The Turk-"Here's to the moons of
Turkey, whose wings were never clip
ped
The Frenchman-"Here's to the cock of
France, whose feathers were never
picked"
The American-Here' to the Stars and
Stripes of American, never trailed in de-
feat"
Inc Eng,ishman-"Here's TO the ram

tore down the stars and bars of Russia,
clipped the wings of Turkey. picked the
feathers off the cock of France and ran
like HI from the Stars and Stripes o;

MAKING MARRIAGE HARDER.

A bill has been introduced into the
Legislature of New York providing that
the marriage contract must be in writ
ing. If it should pass there would be an
end to common law marriages in that
state. Marriages of that kind have been
Recognized in New York ever since 1909,
and it is said that there are thousands
of New Workers who. though hooked upon
as married people, are not sure that they
are married.
AS the law relative to marriages is now
it is an easy matter to get married. Only
a verbal contract is needed a contract
to which witnesses are not required. Con-
sequently, If a man and a woman live to-
gether and announce that they are mar
ried the law regards them as husband
and wife.
1t has come to be a common occurrence
for a strange woman dressed in black to
appear at the funeral and announce her
self as the widow of the deceased when
"A bachelor or widower having property
dies She may never have seen the de-
ceased, but if she is shrewd and persistent
she may succeed in establishing her claim
as his widow. 1t has happened more than
once that two or three of these alleged
widows have appeared at che same flu
neral.
The main purpose of the bill is to pre-
vent fraudulent claims being made against
estates, though there are some other rea-
sons why the proposed change in the law
is desirable. 1t is far from sure, how
ever, that the bill Will meet with favor.
The argument against it is that nothing
should be put in the way of marriage.
1t is claimed that if a written contract
were required, the contract would have
to be recorded, and that there are hun
dreds of people who would not go to the
trouble and expense OF complying with
the new law. The result might be worse
than the present condition of affairs.
There is certainly reason for giving the
pending bill very thorough consideration
before passing 1t.

Scheherezade coddled the notion that
she had strung the Sultan of the Indies
with enough pipe stories TO hold him for
awhile, says the Chicago Chronicle, but
after the honeymoon had set, and the old
man began to pass her up for table stakes
at the cub, and to tumble in about 4
O'clock in the forenoon, she concluded that
If she was going to see anything of him
outside of business hours she would have
to smoke up again. So she put I'D a lob
with her sister, who slept on a folding
bed behind a screen and about the time
the Sultan arranged to cut out the do
nestle part of his existence Scheherezade' $
sister begged her to relate the fascinating
tale about the One-Eyed Calendar.
What kind of an almanac is that?" in
quired the Sultan. pricking up his ears.
IF His Serene Highness will doff his
2lub rags and jump into his nlghtie" said
Scheherezade, with assumed indifference
Il will relate the story of the One Eyed
Calendar"
Now the Sultan had received a bushel
Of calendars since Jan. 1, but a one-eyed
calendar was a new one on him. Besides
he was Ss5 ahead at the club, and his
feet had begun to chill. So he decided
to go against the storytelling. At the
proper time SchehereZade cut loose as
follows:
THE Caliph Haroun al Harrison was
much annoyed
Hold on" said the Sultan. "Tve heard
that before"
Scheherezade was SO miffed by the inter.
ruption that she hung out the Continued
in Our Next" sign; and. as her sister
had tied knots in the Su.tan's unmention-
abes and thrown his hat out of the win
dow, he was compelled to restrain his i'm
patience until the following day.

A SENSATIONAL PAPER.

Paris doctor named Championniere
seems determined to scare the people of
that city to death-in fact, the people
of other cities, also-by telling them that
one of the common causes of appendicitis
is the grip. A person getting better of
the grip is depressed enough without be-
ing tod that the chances are that he will
have an attack of appendicitis.
Dr. Championniere, in a paper which
he read before the French Academy of
Medicine a day or two ago cited many
instances to prove his theory, and 1t is
stated that he made out such a good
case that many of the profession agreed
with him.
1t seems that grip patients who are
excessive eaters of freshly slaughtered
meat are much more likely to be alta tx
ed by appendicitis than others. This
statement is based upon very careful cb-
servation. Assuming that It is correct,
it would be well for eaters of fresh beef
to abandon meat of that kind during the
prevalence of the grip and confine them
selves to salt meats
hSib was Otb StdNtlHtnlt however,
which Dr. Championniere made that
could not be substantiated. In the course
OF his paper he stated on the authority
Of DR.. Keen Of Philadelphia, that at least
one-thrd of the people of that city have
been attacked by some form of appendi-
citis. DR.. Keen was asked last Wednes-
day whether he was authority for the
statement. lie said that he was not.
He was willing to admit however, that
grip, being a catarrhal affection, persons
suffering from it were predisposed to APP
pendctis. That statement is very diff
ferent from the one made by the Paris
doctor, who, however, was no doubt
sincere but mistaken
But does not the discussion Of the much
dreaded appendicitis ia connection with
the prevailing grip epidemic lead
people TO think they are afflicted with the
former disease, even when they have
no symptoms Of It? As matter Of fact
would not there be fewer cases Of grip
II the minds Of the people dwolt upon
that disease less?

The government publication which is
enormously called the Records of The
Rebellion" when it should be the Rec
ords of the War Between the safes" is
now approaching completion. It is one of
the most volumlnous and costly publica-
tons ever undertaken in this country.
The cost to the government up to date
has been $4,000. A complete set Of the
Records" consists of 127 volumes. The
electrotype plates necessary to produce
the work number $4,000, and weigh moe
than $50 tons. The publication of this
work may be regarded as a monument TO
national pride in history. or as colossal
piece of extravaganza, according to the
point Of view. 1t may be expected that
before a great while Congress will be-
come impressed with the imperative ne
cessity of publishing in similar form the
official records of the Spanish and Phil
ippine wars. Congress can always find
a way to spend money.

Took the Orders Literally.

Col Pew tells a story of the Tenth
Regular Infantry that is pretty good,
says the Boston Record. One night in
Cuba one of the sentries was a raw re-
cruit from the Green Isle, and the officer
of the day, on his rounds, was challenged
by him.
who goes there?''
"Ofticer of the day"
Not move on the part of the sentry,
and the o. d. stepped forward and again
was greeted by who goes there?" and
again replied in the same way. Not a
move on the part of the sentry, but the
o. d. heard an Cminous click.
What are your orders, anyway" he
asked.
Challenge three times then fire." was
the laconic and self-satistied answer. and
the o. d. s hat was raised on his hair
rs he realized how near he was 10 be-
ing peppered by the sentry. The latter
was given a few Instructions before he
went on sentry duty again.
