10000 Driven From Homes
Certainly 10000 persons have been
driven from their homes in the valley
of the Seine to hospitals and other
buildings placed at the disposition of
the refugees.

lower valley of the Seine.
Premier BRAND today gave a cate
gorieal denial to reports that the gov
ernment contemplated proclaiming a
state of siege in the city.
He said that there would have been
no hesitation to do this if the neces-
sity had arisen, but that the public had
manifested complete confidence in the
government and was cooperating in
such splendid fashion that France
might well be proud before the world.

Story of Alleged SwindIe

''This case he said yesterday, "is
one of the most extraordinary in my
experience. AS far as l can gather,
Mrs. Schroeder and Mrs. Redding were
led into investing in certain properties
in which Mrs. Francis had dominant
interest, were cajoled or frightened
into signing away their rights by her
and then swindled out of their money
in a thorough and cold blooded fashion

Increased Bitterness


One of the interesting side contests
between the federal prosecutor and the
defense arose over Juror c. f. Schue
of Alameda. The juror overheard hot
discussion in an Alameda store in
which it was said that the Kentuckian
was justified. Schue kept out of the
talk, but was ordered into custody
rending investigation by Devlin, who
made open charges of jury tampering
by the defense. This Increased the Bit
terness felt by the southerners.
Now Gardner's influential relatives,
personally assisted by Colonel Chinn,
have instituted campaign among the
southern legislators at Washington and
brought strong influence to bear
against the reappointment of Devlin.
There has been no confirmation yet
of Robert I. Deylin's denomination as
United States attorney for this district.

1t was a beautiful >ay in June
The locusts were in bloom, filing the
air with sweetest perfume and the long
road with vistas of pink blossoms; the
June bugs and grasshoppers were live

their baby wings in glee. One would

and sighed for new worlds to conquer.
She looked wistfully at the road outside
the iron ratings. 1t was forbidden
ground and Ethel, not being diso-
bedient child. turned away from this
temptation. The wood, separated from
her grandpa's garden by a broken down
rail fence, had not been forbidden her,
however, and the little wanderer had
soon vaulted over this and begun her
explorations on new ard, therefore, fas-
cinating ground.
To wander in an unknown land was
beautiful, and though Ethel wished for
her brothers very much, she hugged
her rag doll close for company and
wandered on in glee. She had so long
wondered what this mysterious wood
contained. 1t seemed as though it
must be enchanted and that some fairy
or magician dwelt here. Certainly the
tall trees, emerald moss and flickers
of golden sunlight made the place
real fairyland It was very STILL Only

NARLTON was walking alone
through the woods and a storm
~ was coming up. The little flowers
hid their faces and the trees bowed
their heads.
Carlton, the 12-year-old boy, felt like
turning around and going back home,
but his father was very sick and his
mother had sent him to borrow some
money of a rich relative who lived just
on the other side of the wood.
There was no money at home to buy
nourishment for the sick man, and un-
less he had it he would die.
Carlton buried his hands deep down
into his pockets and trudged manfully
on. He was almost sure he would not
get the money, for he had tried it be-
fore.
If there was only some way for him
to earn money you would not catch
him going on such an GRAND, no, in
deed.
But his thoughts were interrupted by
a fearful flash of lightning and a stun
ming peal cf thunder. and almost at
the same moment the rain began to
fall in torrents.
Where should he hide himself from
the tempest's fearful blast?
The next moment he saw something
that looked like a moving light.
1t was deep, deep in the woods, en-
tirely out of his path, but poor Carl
ton longed so much for company at
such fearful time that he left his
path and followed the light.
He was gaining on it every second
when it disappeared entirely from
view
Carlton waited for the next flash of
lightning and saw a tiny hut, almost
hidden from sight by dense growth
of bushes.
Plunging on, he thought to ask per-

WHERE ausIEs COME FROM

Next to coal oil, the biggest monop-
oily in Burma is in rubies. This country
produces the finest of such stones and
furnishes the most of the worlds sup
ply. The industry is in the hands OF
the Burma ruby mines company, which
is operating in the Mogok valley, about
ninety miles from Mandalay. There Is
a region there 1000 feet above the sea,
covering from so to 100 square miles.
which has produced more and better
rubies than any other place upon earth.
At times it yields as much as half
million dollars worth of rubies year,
and about ten years ago a single stone
was found Weighing n carats, which
sold for more than 100000.
The fine ruby is more valuable than
a diamond of the same weight 1t is
estimated that one the color of pigeons
blood weighing five carats will sell for
ten times the value of a five carat dia-
mond, and that the price will increase
with the size. A ruby which weighed
eleven carats was recently sold in Eng
land for 5000, whereas a diamond of
that size would not bring more than
$4,000. The largest ruby known Is one
which came from Tibet. 1t weighed
1000 carats, but it was not of the first
quality. Some of the best stones of
this kind are owned by native Indian
rajahs who consider them among the
most beautiful of jewels.
The demand for rubies is greatly af-
fected by the times. The panic of 1907
caused a slump in the market. All
sorts of precious stones went down and
for months the London demand for
Burma rubies entirely ceased. The
company then curtailed it's production
by stopping night work and it cut the
wages of the men from "a to "a cents
a day. In 1908 no dividends were de-
clared. The times are better now and
all the mines are again working
