President Will Ask Congress To
Make the Dollar Stretch More
BY gibson GARDNER

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IL
Since his return to Washington
President Roosevelt has been work
ing on his annual message to con
gress 1t is likely now that new
chapter will be added, discussing
finance
The president has been talking
with members of his cabinet, nota-
bly, Secretaries Root and Straus. In
regard to legislation for making
the currency system more elastic.
1t is quite generally agreed by good
financiers that the American money
system is illogical and crude.
The circulation Of paper money
by banks based on government
bonds does not give the opportunity
for quick expansion and contraction
such as is demanded ~ sudden
raids upon the banks like the one
in New York.
The committees on banking and
currency of both the house and SEN
ate have chewed the cud of finan-
cial legislation in a ruminative way
for the last 10 years, but without
some spur such as Roosevelt has
lately been applying along other
lines they have reached no result.
Since the New York money furry
it has been suggested by Secretary
Root and others that the coming
winter will he a good time to rem
edy some of the long-standing evils
of the system, and that few very
explicit and definite recommends
lions would help this along.

But his ma had other designs for
those pumpkins. When she found
that they had been mutilated, she
did not throw up her hands in de-
spair. No. She took them while
still fresh and cooked them up into
foundation for pie.
The ma of That Boy Next Door
showed him the first pie she baked
and asked him If he did not want
piece. You should have seen That
Boy Next Door smile on the other
side of his face. 1t was then too
late to garner fresh pumpkins for
the eventful eve.
II you would rather not receive q
black look, don't ask That Boy Next
Door Ii he likes pumpkin pies.

FATTENS ON PEANUT DIET

AURORA, H., Nov. 12.-Dr. J. T.
Allen, champion of the peanut diet,
awoke today feeling much better
than at any time since the be-
ginning of his self-imposed task.
He drank several glasses of water,
and, feeling hungry, ate two pounds
of COOLERS for breakfast. During
the last "a hours DR.. Allen has
gained three pounds in weight on
his peanut diet Six pounds is
the highest mark set thus far in his
consumption of peanuts. He now
eats them raw. His appetite is
growing and he expects to reach
his normal weight before the end
of his astronomical test.

agely about as he stepped upon the
deck.
This has been a bad business all
round" he said, as Henninger came
forward to meet him. 1--WE come
to see what terms you'l make"
I'VE won't make any," replied
Henninger.
Then we'll fight it out"
Henninger laughed rather harsh
ly. "You can go back and begin as
soon as you like. You make me
tired" he added. you've lost half
your men, you're fast on the reef,
you're wounded, and yet you try to
bluff us. Don't you know any bet
ter than that? Fight it out, If it
suits GU. Well leave you here to
fight as long as you please"
Were not SO bad as that" said
Sewer. Our ship'll float at the
next tide. And there are 10 men
aboard with rifles and at this range
they'd clear off your decks in about
10 seconds"
Henninger glanced quickly at the
steamer.

said, transquilly
Sewer turned to his boat. hest
tated, and then came back.

mot hundred. Not one cent"
Look here." cried Sewer, with a
sudden passion. Don't you drive
a desperate man too far. l won't
try to bluff you. Our men won't
fight any more, I'll admit; they're
a lot of dogs. And Cartons
Carlton killed." exclaimed Hen
ninger, taken by surprise.
He was shot last night on the
bridge, just before she went ashore
He died in an hour. 1t don't mat
ter; he was never more than
brute. But we can float the steam
err in day or two and make Zanzi
bar easy, and I'm ruined, clean,
stony broke, and there isn't any
thing that III stick at. I'll inform
the British resident there, and
you'll be arrested at the first port
you touch. You'll find the Crownll
clai mthat gold pretty quick"
you daren't do it, said Hen
ringer coolly. you've got record
yourself and you've tried to COM
nit piracy
81 don't care. For that matter,
can just as easy proveg piracy
against you. I'll see your crowd
done up anyhow, and I'd as soon be
jailed as broke"
Henninger appeared to- reflect,
and took turn up and dawn the
deck. I'll tell YOU" he said, finally
There are two chests of about S70,-
600 or $4,000 apiece still in the
afterhold of the wreck. We've got
all the rest, and they were the
ones | meant to give you when |
made our first offer. Well leave
them for you, after all, and that'll
stake you again"
"l'd never get a cent of it," an
swered Sewer, sullenly. We've
got a rough crew aboard, and
they're out of all control"
"Then-well give you one gold
brick, just one, Thatll help you to

come back again for the rest"
will you express it to me at

CIGAR MAKERS STRIKE

TACOMA, Nov. 12.-Every union
cigarmaker in this city went on
strike yesterday because the manu-.
facturers would not accede to their
demands that they be allowed to
share in the profits on certain
brands of cigars. They have been
making from 500 to $26 per week.
The manufacturers claim that
their demand to share in the profits
of the business is unreasonable.

He bowed with an exaggerated
flourish, purple with rage and hu-
