He wrote a letter to his uncle ex-
planning that investments had gone
wrong and that he needed small loan
OF. fifty thousand dollars for Athree
months. He was sure that If he got
this he would be enabled to find some
way out. BY return of mail he had
an answer in an envelope which
strangely bulged. He opened it with
trembling fingers and a package of

Jackson Jones went away early on
the following morning. AS ignorant of
business and of business methods as
a baby, yet he tried to scheme some
way by means Of which he might re
coup his staggering finances. Wild
ideas, all impractical, whirled through
his brain.
He must have money, that was GER
tain. He had not the least idea of
just how he had accomplished it, but
he had spent his patrimony-spent it
all and more than all Of it. If he had
paid up the debts he owed-which all
the world seemed glad to have him
owe-that was the hard part of it;
everyone seemed anxious to have him
go in debt to them-he would have far
less than nothing left.
For days he stewed above his fig.
ures in a room of which he kept close
guard upon the key. He told Rankin,
who was curious, that he planned to
write a book.
Indeed, sir? Fiction, sir?"
Fiction? Cad, no! Fact"
"a book of travel, sir? I've Travelled
quite a bit. Perhaps"
mo. Or yes. OF travel up and down
Broadway"
Splendid, sir, if Imay be excused
for taking such a liberty. I'm sur no
gentleman in all New York is more
familiar with the subject, sir. I shall
be glad to read it, sir. I'm sure ii
will be quite a revelations"
Rankin" said Broadway earnestly
eff I wrote what / really know about
Broadway it would be a revelation"
He grew very serious, for him. "It
would put some men on ~pedestals, and
they would not be those, who now
stand highest. 1t would put some men
behind the bars, and among them are
and go, with welcomes when they
Fcome and invitations when they leave
in every place where people gather in
this town"
He burst into a sudden laugh. Cereal
stuff, eh, Rankin? When you say
Broadway you stir me up. | love it
hate it; it always fascinates me
There's no street like it in the world
eff, your book is like that, sir, i
will be a big success" commented
Rankin, spellbound. It's going to bt
a fine book, Mr.. Jones"
ut won't interest Broadway. There's
only one kind of book that BroadWay
cares about"
"And what is that, sir?"
'"Check books, Rankin. Now I'm go
ing into-into-" He did not know
just what to call the room which ht
kept locked.
"Your study, SIR"
Thanks, Rankin. Yes; I'm going tt
my study. Don't let me be disturbed
"I'1l not,.sir."
When he left that study he avoid

WAR SUMMARY

Interest in the great European
struggle remains centered in the
eastern theater where three big
BATHS are being fought. The ac-
tivity in Belgium aad France has
lessened largely because Of bad
weather conditions and the mum
dation OF considerable area
alcng the User in West Flanders.
Poland is the scene of two of
the contests in the east and the
third is being fought in East
Prussia. The combat in the coun-
try between the Nistula and the
Warta rivers is attracting the
most attention 1t is believed the
Germans have massed there at
least half a million men ia an en-
deavor to break the Russian line
The location Of the battlefield
and other conditions favor a deci-
sive conflict In this battle the
Russians claim to have achieved
partial success.
The second battle in Poland is
being fought on the Cracow-
Czenstochowa line and both sides
claim they are satisfied win the
progress being made The Rus
sian advance in East Prussia is
moving slowly through the region
about the Mazurian lakes, a coun-
try which is difficult of passage.
In this district the Germans have
massed strong forces to dispute
the Russian advance. The Rus
slams are moving westward in
Galicia. and claim numerous sue
cesses, among which are the cap
ture of Wisnicz Gorlice Dukla,
and Ujok
The only serious fighting now
taking place Oh the allies lsft
wing in the western battle ground
appears TO be south OF Ypres,
where an artillery duel of consid-
cradle violence is progressing. In
the Argonne region the Germans
have made some vigorous attacks
which, according to the French.
have been repulsed
According to official announce
ment in Berlin, reports received
at the German capital from Hol-
land state that in the recent fight
ing near Bixschoote and Dixmude
the French lost 10000 men, and
that 1900 British were drowned

Little news regarding the OPP
erations in trans-Caucasia has

that the fighting is progressing
favorably. The Turkish troops,

will be felt in every corner of the globe.
 At meeting in New York this week the Church Peace union formu lated plans to expend $100,000 in next years campaign. Of that fund S2O,- 900 will be used in the conduct of the peace movement in Europe, S10,OO0 in Japan, and large sum in the United States.
 In the peace congress which con- vened at The Hague only few years ago all the great powers were repre- scented. Resolutions of the most fra ternal nature were adopted. There was to be no more war-only arbitration. Such was the upshot of the action at The Hague. But when hostilities started last August no thought was taken of arbitration. The Hague was only a grim joke.
 Yet in spite of the failure of The Hague peace agreement the church union will go forth in 1915 deter mined to labor all the more actively and all the more prayerfully for peace in the future. F

The Mentally Deficient

- According to the census bureau the number of insane persons under in stitutional care" in the United States increased from 150,151 in 1904 to 187, ,791 in 1910--an increase of 25 per cent. During the same period the population of this country increased only 12 per cent.
 In 1910 the number of insane per- sons entering institutions was 60,769, compared with 49,622 in 1904. The bureau in it's report suggests that the increase in insanity, appalling on the face of the statistics, is not quite as bad as it seems, as a greater per cent of cases are cared for in asylums than in former years.
 The opinion had been held by some physicians that the lonliness of country life was the cause of much insanity, but as the director of the census points out, statistics do not give color to any such theory. In the city and not in the country, insanity is steadily incfe3sing. The stress and strain of city life, congested housing and dissipation account for the enor- nous increase in the number of men, tally deficient persons.

Cattle Growing and Crops

One hears more now about the necessity of crop diversification in the cotton states than was the case a few years ago, but there has been con- siderable progress in that respect for sometime past. In northern Alabama crop diversification was the rule last year and the year before and the year before that.
 In some of the black, belt counties there was an increase in. corn pro- duction and in cattle growing. The result has been that where crops were diversified the farmers prospered greatly. The farmer who raised some- thing of everything this year-cotton, corn, hay, oats, hogs and cattle-is in good financial condition today. He is out of debt and he can carry what cotton he has without cost until 1916 if deemed advisable to do so.
 In animal husbandry the greatest progress is being made at this time There has been very noticeable in crease in the beef cattle in Alabama It is highly profitable industry and within the next few years Alabama should be known as one of the leading cattle states of the union.
