Paris. Dec. 2S.-The will Of the late

liturgy but as eheaply and simply as
possible
The second clause reads:

The will concludes with this re-
markahle request:

PROBATION SAVES
AN AMERICAN mining
MANSMALLF0RTUNE

Mexico City, Dec 2s.-A story is told
of a we'll known American mining man
in Mexico. whose foresight probably
save him considerable money.
During the Madero revolution his
property was visited frequently by the
rebels, who forced him To Contribute
lavishly to the rebellion For monies,
horses, provisions and other things
taken he was given the provisional
receipts through the evidence of which
he was to be reimbursed when the revo-
luton triumphed.
Soon after the close of the first revo-
luton the mining man deposited In the
office of the minister Of finance the re-
ceipts. which called for some S25.00o.
He was assured that in due time he
would receive his money.
It was not forthcoming, however. and
several months later he called again.
whereupon he was told that unfortn-
nately the receipts which he had pre-
scented had been lost, and the depart
ment had no evidence that anything
was due him. 1t was added that If the
receipts were found full settlement
would be made.
But the claimant had provided for
Just this contingency. and the next day
he appeared at the office of the minis

set of receipts. At the same time he in
formed the official that If the second

REPORTS
ON USE OF COCAINE

Paris. Dec. 2s.-Alarmed by medical
reports which show the increasing
number of persons in certain sections
Of Paris who are addicted to the Use
Of cocaine. the police have commenced
an energetic campaign to suppress the
clandestne sale of the drug. They
have a difficult job on their hands.
DR.. BRAND, chief of the St. Anne
lunatic asylum. SAYS that fully one
half of the young women who frequent
the cafes Of Montmartre and the Latin
quarters are victims of tho habit and
sooner or later come under his care.
The attraction of cocaine is not easily
understood by those who have observed
its effects. The original sensation con-
tnues for only brief period, while the
after effects follow swiftly and are ter
rible
The law prohibits the sale Of the
drug except on presentation of a physi-
clans prescription but the illegal
methods employed to obtain it are
many and ingenious. The walters at
certain cafes makes business of re-
failing cocaine to customers with whom
they come In contact Their usual price
is IS cents gram. The police recently
raided the headquarters of a dealer who
occupied a room on the sixth floor of
an office building. 1t had been his
practice to supply his patrons by low
ering a basket from a window of his
room, after the customer had identified
himself as a user by whistling in a Pc
culiar manner. The dealer was severely
punished.
The result of his arrest. detection
and of other sharp police measures has
been to raise the price without decreas-
ing the demand for the drug. and II is
stated that as much as SIS a gram has
been paid by persons whose cravings
were so great that they would not wait
to find a cheaper supply.

Censorship Of the Stage in London Is

the assassination of Empress Elizabeth
and defeats in war by Napoleon and the
Italians, and again later, by the Ger
