EVERYTHING GOING OUT
AND NOTHING COMING TN
TBy Latest MALL

PORTLAND. Or. - A real example
of everything going out and nothing
coming in" to the extent of more
than 100000 annually is shown in a
report of one branch Of Portland post
office finances. just made public by
Postmaster Frank S. Myers s
The drain is in international money
orders. About 90 per cent of them
are earnings ssent abroad by foreign
ers.
The Japanese, through their sta
ton in North Portland. sent away
more than 100000 in international
money orders. Altogether 20,74S
money orders to foreign lands went
out of Portland in the year for a gross
sum of s576.0S0.30. From foreign coun-
tries 2006 international money orders
were paid in Portland in the sum of
S53,6SS.76.
Comparing these figures, it is seen
that 100000 more went out than
came in, and through this route 81
leaves Portland for every 81 that
comes in:- This proportion is said to
be equaled. if not exceeded in other

AMERICAN GIRLS PLUCK PENNILESS AND

CHAPTER III.-A SMILING HINDU
BY Louise Townsend Nicholl.
But before we could find the police
we must have our bags. out of the
hotel by noon, and find another hotel
where, if possible, meals could be
charged. We gave checks to the Rus
sian, but he was too excited to know
what he was doing, and his wife, a
charming French woman, laughed
bitterly in our faces. Finally, it was
arranged that the East Indian, who
was to stay and shut the house,
should take us to another hotel and
should come there for our money
next day. All of which he did. We
met him in the Champs Elysees the
next day, or rather, it seemed as
though he rose before us out of the
earth in a dark cloud, bowling and
smiling too sweetly. l cannot tell
whether he was an evil genius of the
house which closed with such terrible
loss to the Russian, or whether he
was an angel walking the earth in
strange disguise, as others have.
But for me, Paris will always be
haunted, not by the sound of march
ing feet and the hUzzahs of the SOL
diers and the snatches of the MAR
seillaise" sung by many voices, but by
the cat-like tread of an East Indian,
who rises, smiling softly from the air
beneath, who looked so evil but was
so kind.
We were the only Americans at the
hotel to which he took us, and it was
here that my weak and feeble French
grew strong and fiourished, for the
two women who kept the hotel could
speak no English and my friend could
speak no French. There we had three
meals, until we dared run up the bill
no longer, and after that we ate here
and there or not at all. The worst of
