PERHAPS there is no more interest.
ing story in the annals of journalism
than that pertaining to the MousQue-
taire, a Partisan periodical founded by
the redoubtable Dumas Sr. 1t -four
ished for a short time and then be-
came extinct. During its brief but
brilliant existence its business affairs
were administered with an eccentric
and astonishing disregard Of methods
commonly in vogue.
1t is said that the staff Of the Nous
quetaire was 1.-The largest and most
varied ewes known" 1t seems, too.
that persons would walk into the Of
fee, propose working for the paper
and at once find themselves accepted.
What compensation am | to re-
ceive?" a new man would ask.
Whatever you like. my dear fell
low" Dumas is reported to have re-
piled on each occasion. -" BY the way"
he would hasten to explain to the new
conner, zone thing must be clearly un-
derstood-l mean that you shall be
handsomely paid. You must have a
thousand francs month, and should
you want months pay In advance
don't hesitate to ask for It,"
Everybody was dazzied,' say the
chroniclers Of the time, and Dumas
himself more than all the rest. And
no wonder! No business enterprise,
however could exist on such basis.
and the journal began to languish.
Then came an individual named Boule,
proposing to take the speculation out
OF the hands of the great Alexandra.
He offered Dumas something like a
hundred francs a day. which meant
more than $1,000 year.
Proffering check-book so full OF
those little tinted leaves" whereof
Dumas was SO fond, Boule said:
Here. Every morning you have
only to write your name at the foot
of one, send it into the Office and get
your one hundred francs"
The scheme appealed to Dumas. He
OedIHed. but, upon reneCtlOn, tne
smile on his face died and he asked:
Suppose that some day | should
want three or four hundred francs?"
That is no problem at ALL" respond
ed Boule. In that event all that you
have to do is to send in three or four
of your checks. 1t is very simple"
and so the check book lay on the
desk of Dumas. a delightful and ready
resource. Did creditor call. a hasty
scribbling on a piece of paper and he
was paid! A poor family was about
to be turned into the street Some
more slips and they were relieved. At
the end Of the week nothing was left
of the check book but the cover.
Boule found 1t necessary to change
this method Of procedure.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Jan. a.
The chief clerks of several divisions
of the Great Northern railway are
on the carpet today in the investiga-
ton of the recently discovered frauds
by means Of which the railroads are
said to have been defrauded out of
100000 annually for several years.
Clerks from Great Falls and Havre,
Mont, Everett. Seattle and Spokane,
Wash, are called here to go over the
records OF their Offices with superiors.
Speaking of the officials who are be-
ing investigated, President Hill said:
''The investigation does not mean
that all officials called to Minneapolis
are implicated or even suspected OF
being mixed up in the frauds. They
may not be to blame for these things
or even concerned in them In any
way. They have been called here to
go over the details OF their Offices
with us. The trip pass frauds are
said to have been made possible by
the connivance of railroad officials
with employment agents who have
been transporting large numbers OF
men over the railways"
