THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY
HIS ANSWER

Beulah Fenton was having a glorious time Here she was, amidst the won derful Swiss mourtains-the idol of every one in the Hotel Kimberley.
 Suitors Dozens of them.
 There was, for instance, Lord Percy Van Orpendom with a title and no money.
 Also, Arlington Moore, handsome young American With duck of q motor car and the habit of proposing regularly twice week. Then there was Jason Kent and-and scores Of others.
 Just now. clad in a dainty gown of white with parasol to match, Beulah was strolling along a lovely mountain road with Lord Percy at her side.
 "Aw-now, Miss Fenton, l say. you look perfectly charming, you know, in that gown. Stunning!" adjusting his monocle and edging closer to her.
 "Aw-thanlzs, Percy-Lord Percy, l mean" she drawled. But do you know you have the cutest dimple in your chin?" and her eyes glanced wick edly.
 Come now, Miss Fenton, you're chaffing me. Now, aren't you But want-aw-you to be serious. You know. deah Miss Fenton, what l want to say. --aw-love you deeply and he made as if to clasp her in his arms, but instead found himself embraciGg the white parasol which she deftly slid betwen them. Beulah's laughter rang out
 With look of pained surprise Lord Percy handed the parasol back to her.
 "Deah Miss Fenton--Beulah-do aw-laugh at me. I weally love you. I'd do anything for you, don't you know; anything!"
 "Wculd you, really?" she asked. "Then if you love me and will do any thing for me, get those flowers down there" and she pointed down the steep bank. at one side of the road, where about midway grew a cluster of peau- tifuI white flowers. .
 Lord Percy glanced down, paled and stammered.

THE GRAND TRUNKS ACTION.

The sudden breaking off of opera tions in connection with the construc- ton of the Southern New England railway from Palmer to Providence, as an outlet for the Grand Trunk through the Rhode Island port, came as a surprise in view of the extensive preparations and outlays and the fact that the promoters had made so many and such extensive promises to New England states whereby they secured the right Co build. It had been sup posed that nothing would be able to block the plan of the Grand Trunk iR entering New England for the pur' pose of developing it's transportation facilities. and Boston and Providence in particular, with the other cities through which the lines would run, were anticipating increased business through the healthy competition which t would stimulate.
 All this encrOachment on the terris tory has been carefully watched and strongly opposed by the New Haven system. Under President Hays, who had given the Grand Trunk the best period in its existence, this extension had been planned, and new influences took hold when he went down with the Titanic. The plan of the New Haven system to give the Grand Trunk the chance to use it's lines of railroad in reaching New England points, now threatens to block the expensive con- struction work of the latter system. This. of course. is going to be a great disappointment to Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It is going to check the competition that was expected, but it is liable to throw the Grand Trunk in 70 disfsvor Providence has been stay ing awake nights dreaming of its booming and possibilities when the new line was completed. Not little expense has been incurred by state and cities in expectation of the rail- road outlay. 1T the proposed deal goes through. the Grand Trunk seems likely 10 be the sufferer in states where it expected 10 get It's business.

PROTECTING CANAL ZONE.

The question of public health is one which the country will have plenty to do in dealing with when the channels of commerce are changed by the open- ing of the Panama canal. In this line of work the government has done won- derful work, as the results in the Ca nal zone show. The west coast of Central and South America offers a menace to this country in view of the fact that close contact by ship with ports where yellow fever, cholera and smallpox are always prevalent, not to mention a host of other diseases, will expose the Gulf and Atlantic ports to the perils of epidemic invasion.
 A check upon such a spread of dis ease could be made by establishing a quarantine service the same as is done at all the important ports. The pres ent quarantine service embraces a chain of fifty-three stations encir cling the United States. The public health service takes care of this and it's services are also extended to Porto Rico and Hawaii, and to this it is likely that administration of the quarantine of the Canal zone would be likely to fall. While the effort of some ports along the west coast of South America to improve their con- dition is to be undertaken at once, other precautionary methods, such as a quarantine station for the protection not only of the zone, but the ports to which the vessels are bound in this country, would be in the interests of safety and sanitation.

ANrl.TuRERcuLosls WORK.

Tn view of work to check the white plague in this end of the state the new state tuberculosis sanatorium, which Is nearing completion, and the benefit 1t is expected 10 be. there is an interesting statement by Prof. Irv- ing Fisher. secretary of the New Ha- ven County Anti-Tubcrculosis associa- ton, in his annual report concerning the Gaylord farm sanatorium. The institution has been doing most eff cient work in addition to the state sanatorium at Meriden in the same county, having had 241 patients in its last fiscal year. Many were cured, two-thirds left there greatly improved and ST were able to return to work.
 In the consideration of the work of his association in connection with the many other organizations and forces at work for a similar purpose, Pro- lessor Fisher finds that there is lost motion which could be overcome by Increased cooperation among them, and, Of course, by greater financial aid. Where. as pointed out, fourteen organizations and many more influ- ences arc at work for a similar end. there should be a governing influence in order to bring out the best results in the way of accomplishment and finances. All being interested in aid ing humanity along the same line, it is reasonable to believe that it can De best done by united action, with the influences used for the good of all instead of being confined to any one particular branch of the work.

GOLD. BRICK SCHEMES.

The recent operations in New York city of fake wire-tappers and the se- curing of large sums of money thereby from those who fail to see through the scheme until the money Is gone, are old enough for those caught there in to have learned by the experience of others that financial ruin is the only outcome of such investments. It is strange thing how much confi- dence will be placed in a shady deal, even by those who have money, for the sake of getting little more. In such cases little consideration is given to the question of whether the expected profits would be honorably gained. The aim is to get it, and being so wrapped up in the deal all thought of precau- tion is lost. A mans thinking appa- ratus is not set into motion, but he trusts implicitly in the representations of the crooks who make things look rosy, but are out to do him.
 It is the failure to give proper con- sideration to such schemes, a greed for gold and a disregard for the method involved which make it possible for small army of crooks to make an ex- cellent living and thrive on the gulli- bility of the individuals who fail to exert the proper amount of self-con- trol. Gold brick schemes, under what ever name they are conducted, have the same result. It is impossible to best the clever mahipulators at their own game. Experience usually counts for the individual affected, but beyond that its circle of influence seems to be limited

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Money System the Great Question.

MT. Editor: No. "it was not because
 the democratic candidates were so
 strong that the party was swept into
 office" but simply because the voters
 were dissatisfied with the high cost
 of living, and gradually increasing.
 The democratic spellbinders and news
 papers emphatically declared that
 high protective tariff was the cause,
 which cannot be demonstrated. The
 republican spellbinders and newspapers
 as efnphatically declared that the tar
 if is not the cause, and they were or
 are right, but they do not give any
 reasonable cause. The voters, it seems,
 have been reasoning for themselves.
 It looks as though they reasoned this
 way: We have the republican party
 in power. and we have a high protec-
 tive tariff, and we have the high cost of living and still going higher" Any
 one can see that the high cost of liv-
 ing has grown higher and higher un-
 der the high protective tariff. This
 will not and cannot be denied. It has
 also come, under the republican ad- ministration. Not knowing of any other cause, having no other reasons
 presented, why should not a large
 number decide to try lower tariff to
 get rid of the high cost of living? It
 seems that this accounts for the dem ocratic election of the whole thing president, house and senate. How can it be true that the democrats held fast together" when Wilson received 469, 456 votes less than Bryan in 1908
 (popular vote)? The popular vote in
 1908 was 14,SSS,442, against 1S,e21 057
 in 1912, a falling off of 967,385 votes.
 Where did these votes go? Not to Wilson, not to MT. Taft, for his vote was 4,219,265 less than in 1908. MT. | Tafts and MT. Roosevelt's votes com bined were 77.157 less than MT. Taft's vote in 1908. This looks like large
 number did not go to the polls, at all | It also shows that very large num- ] Der do not believe that tariff, high or low, is the primal cause of high cost of living. It has been claimed | by MT. Taft, MT. Roosevelt, MT. Will son and many others high up in the councils of the nation that our money | system is the greatest question before I the country, and yet not one of them
 has explained the system. Now, this | high cost of living Is like a cancer on an individual. One of two things I is certain. The cancer must be killed,
 root and branch, or the cancer will lkill the individual A cancer cannot | be cured, either on the individual or the nation, unless the roots are killed 1 The root of the political cancer is the l Issuing of money through private agencies" To eliminate this deadly root to. kill it, congress must create the money and pay 1t into circulation for service and supplies to the gov ernment. Anyone who will study the history of the money system of the past fifty years cannot come to any

ARE WE CHANGING OUR DRINKS?

Are We changing from extensive drinkers of coffee and tea to other beverages? This would seem to be indicated by the fact that the quan- titles of tea and coffee brought into this country do not show a mainte- nance of the ratio for other years. The importation of cocoa would seem to indicate that it is taking the place 10 quite an extensive amount of the other two. The amount of cocoa has nearly tripled in the past decade, be- ing approximately 150 million pounds for the current fiscal year against 57 millions ten years ago. In that same period. tea imports show an increase Of but twenty per cent. while the amount of coffee brought here is &C., tual!y less than ten years ago. Cocoa, however, is not confined to use as a drink, and does not by any means reach the large amount of coffee that is received and consumed, that total ing 79s million pounds last year.
 This country is the largest con- sumer of coffee among the nations and likewise ranks first in the con- sumption of cocoa. In the use of tea we are third, the United Kingdom and Russia exceeding us in the amount used. With the increase in the num- Der of people in this country, as shown by the census, it is evident that they are not keeping up the coffee drink ing habit. The price and education are probably responsible for part of the failure to show an increase. With cocoa and tea, the large importations have shown reductions in the import price, and this for a time held good with coffee, but now it has gotten back to approximately the price paid when the importations were not half the present amount.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAI
Experience Versus Results.

In this life it doesn't make so much difference what you have to go through as where you get to. It Is not the experience that matters 80 much as it's result upon your character.
 Keep your eye on results. If you have had troubles, what matters it, provided they have brought you a proper harvest of wisdom, strength and purification?
 Our life Is a business proposition We are here to gain what we can, to lay up stores of love and knowledge, and to develop insight, skill and vir- tuosity of soul.
 We are here to become experts in love, professionals in weighing and judging human values. masters of self and of circumstances.
 So long as we gain this end. why worry about the road that leads us to 1t?
 Come sorrow. come joy, come suc- cess or failure, they are all grist to our mill. We will transform all of them into character. Everything that be- falls us shall help to perfect our manhood

 But, Miss Fenton-'
 With an ifnperious gesture and a flash of her blue eyes, she silenced him and began the descent. Placing her tiny toes in the crevices of the rocks she gradually neared the flowers. Seeing a flat rock jutting out, she stepped down upon it, clinging with one hand to the vines and reach , ing for the flowers with the other. Suddenly, without warning, the rock crumbled from under her, and with a frightened cry Beulah chung to the vines, her body swaying straight down. l Meanwhile Lord Percy, watching l from above, saw what had befallen | her and daIleed frantically around; ; waving arms and calling for help, in | capable of action.
