city board of health. His name is
Bartsch, and his net revenue from the
fly industry for the first two days of a
recent week was S24.2O. When the
health board began offering premiums
for the flies. dead or alive. Bartsch
purchased about 100 traps and placed
them in dy-ridden sections of the city.
Then he began making inroads on the
health boards %exchequer, and SO well
did he operate that he bore the market
price down from so cents to 20 cents a
quart, for it is by that that
the board purchases. Bartsch is still
working, and he will work as long as
the treasury holds out. He finds fly
catching pays.

THE MINISTER OF POLICE" by

during the Louis XIV reign. a period when
Europe was in a condition OF foment and

preaching the right to think; and when a

Into practice through his connection with
q secret society that is plotting the down
fall of the state. Before he has gone FAR
enough to incriminate himself he falls in
love with the beautiful Austrian, who
~persuades him his method of righting the
wrongs OF humanity is impracticab.e. and
ends by promising to go to Vienna with
her to live.
AS he leaves her house a fellow con-
spirator. his chief. joins him, says several
OF their members are arrested, and en-
trusts the secret articles of the association
to him. He then explains to De Lussac
their only hope is to intimidate the
OF police. This can be accom-
plished only by obtaining an incrtminat-
Ing contract signed by the minister of po-
lice and in the possession and safe keep
ing of De Rtchelieu, De Lussac's cousin.
With this contract in their possession they
dictate terms to the minister of po-
lice, obtain the release of the members
imprisoned and be safe them
selves.
Do Lussac goes home, buries the papers
he has just received. writes Madame Lin
that he is attempting one last mission
for the society. and also writes an asSo-
telling him where the papers may
be found In case of his death. Then he
enters Richelieu's home and almost sue
ceeds In getting the document, but is sur
prised and leaves it In a drawer which he
unlocked. Before he can make an
attempt he is arrested and taken to
the Bastile but not before he has told
Madame Under how nearly he succeeded

how desperate her lovers position is. vis-

The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1913-01-31

An eastern paper in describing a
new system which it has recently
adopted in the matter of addressing
its papers, goes on to tell its readers
how simple the plan is when one
gets familiar with it. For instance
the editor explains, that if paper
should be addressed to John JONES',
Feb. II, it means that John Jones is
paid to the 3Oth of Feb. 1912, and
should send in a dollar. This is
indeed new system, but whether
OF not it will prove profitable to the
publisher remains to be seen. A
man who cen advance his subscrip-
ton to the 30th day of February is
not only cheating the publisher. but
has a long lease on life and is estab-
fishing new record which others
may try to follow with disastrous re-
suits. Out here in Idaho the 3Oth
day of February is a legal holiday
and no subscription money can be
accepted or business of any nature
transacted. But when we tell you
that this new system was adopted in
the state of Kansas you will not
wonder why they have added an
extra day to the month of February.
They are too slow to transact their
business IN the ordinary number of
days, hence the long month of Feb
ruary down in Kansas.
