Tobacco. cotton. grain. wine. fruits and

virgin field for the engineer, the merchant

Nor have Americans been slow to rec

Under the old regime, as I have indicated.
our people have been unable to do much
in this country. Concessions for us were
almost impossible. while trade, except to
some e~xtent-that in tobacco-went and
came in British bottom via Great Britain.
Austria, Germany and Great Britain sup
piled most of the manufactured goods sold
in the ~bazaars, but Britain was out of It.
as was America. In obtaining concessions
from the sultan. while Germany and France
secured the governments orders for arms
and ammunition.
Constantinople has been a hotbed of cor
ruption. Concessions cost money. blood and
political influence. The money went to
the sultan's favorites. The unfortunate
native Christians paid the cost in blood.
The influence necessary was ships of war
sent in defiance OF the ships of those ma
tons which would long ago have regulated
Turkey.
But the young Turks have some 70 power
and things have changed. There will be,
we are told. no more contracts given to
high bidders and no more valuable railway
concessions granted with kilometric guar
antees.

W. w. Miller, a well known lawyer of
this city, tells an anecdote Of Kermit
Roosevelt, the presidents son.
Il was acting as steward" says Mr..
Miller, in some gymkhana races at Oys-
ter Bay a few weeks ago, and one of the
events was a race in which the contestants
had to ride a given distance TO a certain
spot where an equal number OF young
women stood with pencil, paper and en-
velope. Each rider had to dismount here
and whistle a tune, the woman writing its
name down on the paper. She then had
to seal it up in the envelope and hand Il
to the rider, who remounted and finished
the race, delivering the envelope to the
judges stand. The first one in with a
correct answer won the event.
"As steward l was deputized before the
race to write down the name of the tunt

Scarcely had the wife cut the rye loaf

in her coffin and put the other half in a
tin box, which he set before him at every
