INDUCING plans of going back to her
mother, is conducting a thriving neck

If the business activities of women
are SO contagious as to be caught by
brides, and to steer them safely be-
tween the varying emotions Of the
honeymoon period, the larger indepen-
dence of women is a move for which
many men have cause for self congrat-

Well, say, there is nothing about q
harem, much different from keeping
house at home, except that there is
more Of it. The idea people get OF
harems is that the women are all
young and beautiful, and that they sit
around a swimming tank and play
guitars and keep the flies off the man
who owns the place. while he smokes
the vile Turkish tobacco burning in a

We finally got back to the great mar

In a stuffed chair, surrounded by his

he asked dad what he thought of the

said it beat anything he had ever seen,
and he should recommend to his govern

in America, and actually the sultan
seemed pleased. He said as an evidence
Of his love for America he wanted to

where he wanted them delivered, they

Frank g. Bigelow, the defaulting bank
president. has confessed an Indebtedness
to banks. commercial institutions, and
estates of which he had charge which
will aggregate between S2.OOO.00O and
100000, and, based On his confession,
voluntary petition in bankruptcy has
been filed in the United States district

many of Bigelow's creditors as he can
remember. together with a list of assets,
Oh which Bigelow's valuation is S1.419,-
600. BY his own admission his creditors
extend all over the United States.
Particularly noticeable on examination
of the schedule of secured creditors is
that nearly every bank from which Bige-
low borrowed money eXacted ample Sc
curity before the loans were negotiated.
The filing of the schedule revealed the
fact that Bigclow, who has been looked
upon as model of business sagacity,
pursued startlngly loose methods i'll the
transaction Of his private business. He
was not positive of the names of several
Of his creditors, and had 10 memoranda
with which to refresh his memory. Evi-
IDENTITY he had no system of keeping a rec
ord of his financial transactions.
