Artistic Borrower.

An English visitor to New York tells
the story of an impecunious French
man who was one Of the most artis-
tic borrowers of whom I have heard.
He would start the year by borrowing
a hundred francs of friend. A week
later, he would borrow two hundred
francs of another friend and with
that loan he would repay the first
and still have a hundred francs left
for the weeks expenses. The third
week he borrowed three hundred
francs and repaid the man from whom
he had borrowed the two hundred.
And so he went ON by steady pro-
gression to the end of the year. Then
he would begin all over again. The
man from whom he borrowed in the
last week of the year of course would
never get his money back. But
though the borrower had created one
enemy, he had cemented the friend
ship of 81 persons during the year and
established a credit on which he could
run for the year following. He was a
writer. but he seems to have had q
good business head.

true story of a recent catch he made:

on that hook, we had to take the farm

river. 1t was the biggest cat ever
saw, and when we got that thing out
on the bank it just bawled like a young

In the excitement in the darkened

trampled upon while the panic-stricken

A similar panic was narrowly averted
on the steel pier, where the flaming

and sent thousands rushing for the
Boardwalk.

HAS A TWO-FOLD MISSION
Wanted For Protection Of Chris
tians, Who Will Be In Danger
When the New War
Breaks Out.

Washington, D. C.-The United
States has informed the powers of Eu-
rope of it's intention to send the
armored cruiser North Carolina to
Turkey to carry gold for the relief of
Americans, according to an announce
ment by the State Department.
While the North Carolina goes on
a mission of financial relief, her pres
ence in Turkish waters is intended to
have a salutary effect with respect to
the treatment of Christians and
foreigners generally resident in the
ottoman Empire. Before taking this
step, the United States took precau-
tions to sound the powers Of Europe
as to whether they would object to the
sending of an American warship to
Turkey. In view of the extreme ten
sion which prevails In Constantinople.
and the probability that Turkey soon
will be drawn into the European con-
fiict, the American government de-
sired to make plain that its purpose in
sending the ship is in no way political,
but designed only to aid and protect
Americans.
France took occasion in her reply
to the American governments inquiry
to express approval of the purpose of
the United States to take the initiative
In sending a ship to Turkish waters
for the protection of Christians, re-
marking that the sending Of French
warships at this time might be mis-
interpreted.
Diplomats and officials generally are
expecting declaration of war by Tur-
key on the Allies. Reliable advices
are to the effect that just as soon as
the big Russian army has penetrated
considerable distance into East
Prussia, Turkey will strike. That both
Bulgaria and Rumania will align them
selves with Turkey against Greece and
the rest of the Balkan States is also
indicated by authentic information

publication states that with perhaps
one exception the bravest thing ever
done by a British soldier was the act
Of drummer boy.
That drummer boy, if livirs. is now
man seventy-two years old, and for
81 years of that time he has been wear
ing the Victoria Cross. and has had
the right to write V. C. after his name.
This boy in the year 1857, amid show
er of shot and shells, fastened bags
Of gunpowder on the gates of Delhi.
He carried death in his arms that day
and met it in other forms all along his
way. Others helped him and were
killed; he lived and wore the cross.
1t was another British drummer boy
who, while acting as field bugler for
Lord Napier Of Magdala in the Abys-
sinian war, left the generals side and
dashed first into the stronghold OF

"This Is believed to be the first
time in the history Of the woman
suffrage movement that women have
resorted to a blacklist of those op-
posed to them" reads the announce
ment 1.-The congressional committee
has spent a year in lobbying for the
passage of national legislation which
would bring woman suffrage through
out the United States. We have polled
both Houses of Congress repeatedly,
and we know how every member
stands.
1--WE regard the nine senator's
named as the bulwark Of the oppO-
sitlon. All Of them retire in 1915,
except Senator Lodge, whose term
expires in 1917. The latter is so de-
termined in his opposition that we
commend his case to the women Of
Massachusetts, who have two years In
which to organize against him."

Early in August-when war began-the
worlds rubber markets seemed closed to u.s.
Rubber prices doubled almost over night.
Men could see no way to pay for rubber
abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like
others-in that panic-were forced to higher
prices. But we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
we did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out. The larger part of the
worlds rubber supply comes through there.
We cabled them to buy up the pick of the rub
Der. They bought-before the advance ,5OO,-
900 pounds of the finest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now on the way to US.
