The Sultan of Turkey has ordered
$4,000 troops into Macedonia to sup
press the insurrectionary movement
that has broken out afresh. 1t is be-
lieved that the insurrectionists are
using the money obtained from Miss
stones ransom for the purchase of
arms and ammunition. Still, a de-
mand has been made by this govern
ment that the Sultan refund the sum
paid to the brigands for Miss Stone S
release. In effect that would amount
to the Sultan furnishing money to his
enemies.

Poultney Bigelow. a we'll known
writer on political topics who arrived
from London on Tuesday, said that
this country had plenty of trouble
ahead of it, and that the recent visit
of Prince Henry meant nothing. In
this connection he said, THE Princes
visit will not in any way affect our
relations with Germany, and it will
have no influence whatever on any
possibility of war with that nation.
One thing more. No regard for the
Monroe Doctrine is going to influence
Germany when that country is ready
to act" What Mr.. Bigelow has in
mind is this. namely, that Germany
is colonizing some parts of South
America. and when the colonies are
ready to raise the German flag Ger
many will be on hand to see that they
have all the protection they want
Mr.. Bigelow has an opinion as to Ger
many's plans in South America, but
no facts. His opinion doubtless is
worth no more than that of those who
differ with him as to Germany's in
tentions in South America, if so much.

other names can be just as heroic as

Hotel Keeper. Rapac,,y.

A United States senator went to At
lantic City a week or SO ago for few
days stay. He took room at one
of the American plan hotels. agreeing
to pay IS day for his meals and room
The next morning after he arrived he
was seized with an attack of rheumatic
gout. The doctor he called told him
he must eat nothing but bread and
milk. He stayed at the hotel for f1ve
days. and ate bread and milk three
times a day, touching nothing on the
elaborate menus. On the sixth day he
sent for his bill. This is the way 1t
came: "To room and board, five days
at IS, $40. To fifteen dishes bread and
milk, at 25 cents. 1915" But" ex-
postulated the senator. Il ate none Of
the meals. You shouldn't charge me
for the bread and milk" The clerk
silently pointed to the line. Dishes not
on the regular bill of fare are charged
extra" and the senator says he will
make it cost them $1,000 by the time
he has told all his friends to keep

a few purchases, which was done, ma

She Would Not be
Without 1t Now.

Neither would thousands of others. We
refer to Nogeler's Curative Compound it
does so much good and seems to reach
every form of stomach trouble, that people
have found that it is the one true specific.
And what are stomach troubles? The eases,
answer is that threequarters of all the dis
eases and ailments which affect US proceed
from one form or another of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion is one of the worst and most
prevalent forms, but Vogelers Curative
Compound cures Indigestion. Here is one
instance:
Mr.. W. Bowel, of 81, Priory Street, Win
chester, Col, writes Il wish to state that
my wife has been taking Vogeler's Curative
Compound for long time, and it is the
only thing that has done her any real good
for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce
her to be without a bottle now"
When we stop to seriously consider the
fact, that this great remedy is made from
the formula OF one of the most eminent living
London physicians, it is no wonder that
people who have happily experienced the
benefit to be derived from its use, will not
now be without 1t at any cost.

THE VALUE OF TOTAL ABsTENTIoN
Old Question Relative to Use of 1ntoIi-
cARts and Longevity.

After declining a polite invitation OF
a bbulous nature from a friend with
whom he was conversing in the lobby
of the Ebbitt, Hon Rice Pierce, the
popular congressman from Tennessee,
made the remarkable statement that
not in the course of his entire life
had he allowed a drop of malt or alco-
holic liquor to pass his lips.
Anybody who knows Mr.. Pierce
would put implicit credence in his
words. In answer to reporters ques-
ton Mr.. Pierce said: Il never took any
icants. | don't know that l deserve
any special credit for refraining. for
really never had the least desire to
know the taste of spirits. Nearly all
my friends are moderately given to
the use of liquor and have no preju-
dice on the question. 1t is simply a
lifelong observance"
Though there may be nothing in the
doctrine of heredity, it is little curl
Gus to know that Mr.. Pierce's father
was also a total abstainer and that he
lived to the ripe old age Of SO. On
the other hand his grandfather took
three fairly good-sized drinks day,
with the greatest system and regular
ity, and he lived to be &C. Thus it
would seem there is no iron-clad rule
as to the relations between the use Of
intoxicants and longevity.

THE GENTLE SPRING,
POET EOUSsO TO FRENZY ~ IN
GLAD SEASON.
EumorIst of the baltimore American
string, Together Few 'Agrant
Verse. to Celebrate the Adveat Of The
Crocus Buds and other Things.

Behold the robin singeth from early
dawn till night; and they that sell the
garden seeds do work with main and
might TO cultivate the custom OF the
poor suburbanite.
Yea. verify, the bluebird atop the
garden fence, to chirp his merry mel
ody doth eagerly commence-but stop
peth for the insect that tempts his
hungry sense.
The peach crop in New Jersey is
frosted as Of yore-'ul told in daily
kilograms and messages galore-and
thus we know that gentle spring is in
our midst once more.
The gentle poet seeketh for mouth
to find rhyme. and writeth gladstone
ditties about the joyous time; and
frisketh all his pockets to find way
ward dime.
The lively iris tinteth the breast Of
FURNISHED dove in ballads penned as
parodies and winding up with love
the which to the waste basket get the
same insistent shove.
The fancy OF the youthful to tender
damsel every soulful swain now
yearns; while on the wayside alley the
winter garbage burns.
The willy haberdasher displayeth
--latest stock; the crafty man who
maketh hats announceth newer blocks,
and in the shirts the ribald tint some
other color mocks.
hn tply crir hlnGEnr1 lends
luster to the trees. where sigh the
soothing cadences of browsing honey
bees-and pessimistic weathermen
give warning of a freeze.
The ladies fiutter wildly from home
to shop and store; they purchase lace
and silks and things of shape and hue
galore, until the cruel husband says
he can't pay any more.
The milliner triumphant concocteth
Paris hats-in pyramids and up-and-
downs-in pancakes, rounds and flats
and fondly OF the elevated price she
calmly chats.
The proud and bloated coal man,
with countenance benign, declareth
that the weather is wonderfully fine,
where Coal was on his sign.
At Crown Point Indiana, they have
rain of frogs: the skeeters in New
Jersey tune up in all the bogs; and
up in Pennsylvania are snakes as big
as logs.
The Custerville Palladium asserteth
that Bill White is painting up his barn
again with all his main and might,
and that the cutters should be cleaned,
as they're an awful sight.
The politicians cunning their willy
ways resume, and lend an air of Joy
fulness to erstwhile winter gloom by
harping on the merits of the presiden-
tial boom.
The man who writeth jokes takes up
his trusty fountain pen and babbleth
of cleaning woes that poster all
the men and ringeths in tired feeling
for the thousandth time again.
The landlord getteth busy-and ask
eth every day il there be any more re-
pairs that ought to come his way, for
well he knoweth folks will move about
the first of May.
Aye, verify It's true. indeed, as true
as anything that this. my child. is
now the time whereof the poets sing
by all these signs and symptoms it
Is now the gentle spring.
