Russian Woman Learns English fol
Loves Sake.

Oliver Stiffler and Miss Eugenia
Pickard were married in indianapolis
Saturday night. The wedding was
elimination of romance which
began six years ago at small town
near Pittsburg. At that time both
were employed on the estate of a
wealthy man-Stiffler as carpenter
and Miss Pickard as a French tutor
to two children. The couple could
not converse, as Miss Pickard did not
speak English, and Stiffler did not
know French, but they grew to adj
mire each other, and Cupid guided
their love-making with his subtle
arts-the touch of the hand and the
love-look in the eye.
After an acquaintance of several
months the two left their employer,
the young woman returning to her
home city, Sevastopol, Russia, and
Mr.. -Stiffler coming to Rushville.
The young woman devoted one
day each week to the study of the
English language in Sevastopol, and
for six years she dreamed of the day
when she would be able 20 master
the language, return TO this country,
marry the man of her choice and be
able to talk to him in his own tongue.
She arrived in Rushvilie, Ind, last
week, met Stiffler and for the first
time held conversation in English
with the man of her choice. They
will live in Rushville

Trunks With False Bottoms.

1--WE have confidential information
that the manufacture of trunks with
false bottoms is a thriving industry
abroad just now" said Treasury
Department official. These trunks
are Designed primarily for rich
Americans who are now travelling in
Europe, and who will secrete dia-
mon, pieces OF jewelry and other val
uables in secret trays, false bottoms
and other places where an Inspector
would not be expected to look.
These trunks are made very clev-
erly, and although it is an old dodge,
it will be worked with success this
year. They used to make these
trunks with false bottoms OF such
depth that the deception was quickly
discovered They do it much better
now, and our inspectors will have to
keep a sharp lookout TO prevent
fraud. Only the most experienced
inspectors who have handled trunks
for years, can discern the deception.

elry stores in Paris earn a good deal
of money on the side by keeping

advised of the purchase of exps nsive
jewelry by travelling Americans.
When the Americans return home
their statements are carefully scanned

warded by a percentage of tn extra
penalty imposed, and in the same way
maids and other servants who fur

Sympathy But No Jobs for Poor ir
New York.

Sleeping at night in a 2O-cent room
and tramping the streets by day in
search of work. Albert R Williams
a young preacher who has chosen tc
live the life of the New York poor
this summer instead of taking va
cation abroad, has found in the first
forty-eight hours of his ordeal that
New York City has lots of sympathy
but few jobs for the boy who comes
here without money, references OF
technical training to win his bread
The young Investigators small
amount OF money is dwindling and
he has not yet found the means OF
making more.
Mr.. Williams was graduated re-
Gently from the Hartford Theologi-
cal School with high honors and a
valuable scholarship. Before assum-
ing the duties of pulpit, however,
he resolved to study the conditions
among the poor of the slums at first
hand. He has cut himself off entire
ly from his friends and relatives. His
father, minister in Blossburg, Pa,
does not know where his son is.
Neither does the young preacher

ness man of this city.
Eight dollars, one cheap suit of
old clothes and cap formed the full
accouterment of the young man
when he set out. In the first two
days of his wanderings he foundi no
work. Not even the sweatshops
would have him. He was refused 4
place as stable boy. The practical
charity institutions would help him
only to get work in the country
Although he listened to the stories
of graft told by policeman in con-
nection with a position in the service
of the Metropolitan Street Railway
company, he found himself unable
get a job as conductor or motorman.

France Courts U. S.

Answering an interpolation in the
Senate Tuesday afternoon regarding
the status of the commercial accord
between France and the United States
Foreign minister Pichon pointed out
that an arrangement undoubtedly
would shortly be concluded.
He said he had asked the American
Government to recognize that the adj
yantages conceded to German COM
merce were due TO France under the
previous Franco-American treaties
and that the United States could not
refuse, and had not refused, to extend
to France an arrangement similar to
the one arrived at with Germany.
One difficulty in the way of a final
understanding. NJ Pichon pointed out
was the question of the regulations OF
the chambers of commerce of France,
but the French explanations on the
subject were believed to be satisfac-
tory. Mr. Pichon concluded:
1--WE are doing our utmost to de-
velop our commercial relations with
the United States, to which country
we are bound by ties. remembrances
and a community of interests which
contribute not little to bind togeth-
er our economic relations"
Referring to the Limoges affair the
senator said that the United States
customs officials sent secret agents
here to visit the factories for the pur-
pose of making independent secret
appraisals. These agents were given
official recognition in Germany and
the United States accepted the mar
ket price fixed by the German chamb-
ers OF commerce.

Commissioners Are Deadlocked.

MISSOULA, Jan I5.-After casting

noon without the board being organ
lied. OF the members of the board
Tyler Worden and Dave Andrews are
both republicans, while Dennis Cur
ran is the democratic member. 1t was
thought, of course, that the republi.
cans could get together on some prop
osition and with a majority vote elect
a chairman, but they have failed to
do so, and each member has been
casting his ballot for himself at each
meeting. The Missoula public is be.
ginning to tire of the proceedings, and
the general sentiment is that some.
thing should be done, go that the com.
missioners can perfect their organiza-
ton and be in a position to trans &C,
reg ular business which they were
elected to transact by the taxpayers
