SAVES YEARS TO PAY Ex-sUIToR.
Present Debt of Conscience After We'd
ding Another.

Chicago, Nov. 27.--For ten years Mrs.
John Penrose, 1921 Trumbull avenue, has
denied herself absolutely the luxury Of
tasting piece Of candy or of indulg-
ing in ice cream sodas or other delica-
cies Of which women are fond, in order
to save $40 to repay former sutton
who rs years ago gave her money to buy
present for herself.
"This debt has been the heaviest load
Of my life," declared Mrs. Penrose Sat
urday.
Il saved the 500 by self-denial, For
years have tried to find Henry Kohler
and / had waited in vain to hear of him.
He lent me the money 25 years ago. A
few years later | knew this act, If |
did not seek to repay the money, would
be recorded against me by my maker. /"
Mrs. Penrose, who is the wife of an
engineer, broke her engagement rs years
ago to Henry Kohler of Worcester, Mass.
He had given her 500 to buy present
for herself. She left Worcester, came
to Chicago and married John Penrose.
A few years ago she made an effort to
find Kohler to repay the money.
She was convinced that it would be
dishonest not to seek to repay the small
sum.

MINE WORKERS BALLOT BOX.
Evidence to Show That Extensive Frauds
Were Committed in Counting.

Indianapolis, Nov. 27s-The contest be-
tween Tom Lewis, former president, and
John White, now head of the mine
workers. organization, for the presiden-
cy has led to the publication in the
Mine Workers journal OF the results
into the election frauds of one year ago,
when White defeated Lewis. The pub,
LEGATION shows that there was fight
over the counting of some Of the votes
and that William Freeney, an election
teller and a member of the Pennsyl
vania Legislature, was assaulted by Mi
ehael Berry of the Pittsburg district
and in the row the executive board adj
journed until the next day.
The election frauds, the report Of the
committee shows, consisted of the votes
of forty-nine large unions in Illinois not
being counted. The committee reported
that of these votes not counted 1851
were cast for John =. White and 500
for Lewis. The report shows also that
the votes were pur in the ballot box
and were stolen therefrom by some
person or persons unknown to the com
mttee. An investigation of the election
frauds, President White said, doubtless
would be made by the next international
convention, which meets here in January.
The report also shows that Lewis de-
manded the keys of the vault where the
ballots were kept from Secretary Perry
and that Perry surrendered them to him
and he kept them over night.

SALE OF GERMAN CHILDREN.
An 0dious Traffic Exposed BY Female
Police Inspectors Book.

A former police inspector named Sis.
ter Henriette Arendt has caused an in
tense sensation by publishing o book
entitled Little White Slaves" The All
thor bases her assertion, that every year
hundreds of German children are sold
into slavery, on personal experiences.
She directs her chief accusations
against the adoption homes and private
maternity hospitals, and declares that
every year these concerns, for stipulat-
ed fee, get rid of large numbers of I'M
happy little mites, who even before their
birth have become obnoxious to their par
ents.
The book gives one definite instance
after another of cases Of which the writ
err has personal knowledge. One OF these
adoption homes, in reply to a ''catch"
letter of inquiry, stS ted that it was
able to send from Germany to France,
Belgium, Holland, or Switzerland three
thousand discreet" children monthly.
This statement, says the writer of the
book, is probably exaggerated for the
sake of advertisement, but in any case
it is an admission that the concern in
question is prepared to negotiate the
procuring Of children.
A female employment agent" in Ber-
lin, says the writer, told her in the
presence of witnesses that she sent chill
dren abroad at prices ranging from S75
to $500, particularly large number
going to Russia. Neither the police,
the municipal guardians, nor the chill
dren rescue societies ever created any
trouble. Only few weeks ago a child
had been sent to Russian "baron"
for $3.50, but in this case the child
came from good stock, from artistocratic
parents, and was well worth the price
paid for it. The average buying price
for child Of working class parents in
Berlin is said to be SIS, while for chill
dren of better class people more money is
paid ranging up to Sl,250 and $500
for children of noble birth.
The publication Of the book has Great
ed so great a scandal that the police
authorities have been obliged by the
pressure of public opinion to open a thor
ough investigation into the alleged trad
ing of children and are making exhaus-
tive inquiries into each single case men

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS
OF FARMERS MATERIALS
Department of Commerce and Labor Pre-
sent Some Interesting Statistics of
Products in the Farming
Industry.

The agricultural interests OF foreign
countries buy nearly Sl0O,000,0oO worth
of American manufactures and other
products for use in cultivating the soil,
while about $50,o00,O00 worth Of foreign
products are annually imported into the
United States for use upon American
farms. The foregoing summarizes GER
tain information recently compiled by
the bureau of statistics, department OF
commerce and labor, in response to an
inquiry upon that subject received from
a representative newspaper located in
the great farming area of the middle
West and refers more especially to those
classes of merchandise having their chief,
if not exclusive use, in the farming in.
dustry and does not include articles in
general use, such as clothing furniture,
and miscellaneous manufactures.
OF the exports from the United States
of articles required in farming, by far
the larger portion are composed OF man.
ufactures, such as agricultural imple-
ments, binding Irvine, barbed wire, and
oil cake; while phosphate rock, to be
ground up and used as fertilizer, and
clover, timothy and other grass seeds
are among the articles exported in the
natural state In addition to the ex.
ports above enumerated as specifically
for farm use. there are certain articles
for which the agriculturalists of other
countries draw upon the United States,
but which cannot be classed as distinc-
lively for farm purposes, such as wag-
ons, carriages, traction engines, fiber
bags, pumps, etc. In such cases the
bureau of statistics has no means oil
determining the proportion of the ex-
ports intended for farm use and they
are not, therefore, included in the $780,
100000 worth of merchandise exported
for agricultural purposes.
Takingup the principal exports OF the
class under discussion, agricultural inn
plements head the list, with 2 probable
total of s40000,000 in the year about
to end, comprised of nearly S20.000,000
worth of mowers and reapers, $s,000,000
worth Of plows and cultivators, $500
600 worth of threshers, and the remain
der miscellaneous farming tools and inn
plements. These agricultural implements
are exported to practically all parts of
the world where man has adopted mod
ern methods of cultivating the soil in
