PARIS AND BERLIN.

Armies Within Their Gates.

Armies WITHIN neIr 1dtes.
Paris has had severe experiences in
the way OF surrenders TO invading
armies On March 81, 1914, the allied
armies that had hemmed In Napoleon
entered the French capital and oc-
cupied it with force of 100000 troops.
After Napoleon's escape from Elba and
his defeat at Waterloo the armies or
the allies again entered Paris July Z,
1916. Thus the great city had TO sur
render to its enemies twice within
sixteen months Fifty-hve years later
Jan. %, lSIi--the city surrendered
again. This time 10 the victors in the
Francc-German war, after brisk bonn
bardment
Berlin has seen foreign troops enter
its gates no fewer than three times In
the last 200 years. The first time,
curiously enough, the conquerors were
Austrian troops under General Had
dick, who entered Berlin In 1761. when
Frederick the Great was engaged In
lighting the French on the Rhine. Dur
ing their stay the Austrians imposed
fine Of $4,000 on the city, as well as
Communicating a huge quantity OF pro
visions and equipment for their troops.
II was only just over three years
later when both the Russian and Aus
TRAN troops. then allies Of one another,
entered Berlin. This time the city was
fined 10000.
The time that win be best remem-
bered, however, was the entry OF Ma
poleon into Berlin after the victory or
Jena. Napoleon inflicted very heavy
fine on the Germans and forced them
10 feed his troops TftBifs.

A COMPLETE HOSPITAL BUILDING

"A COMPLETE HOSPITAL BUILDING.
Superseding building which has
served the purposes rather inadequately,
a structure has been erected on WASH

recent development in hospital architec-

the Barre City hospital to take promi-
nent place among the institutions for the
alleviating of suffering and for the cure
OF the ailments to which the human body
becomes heir. In conformity with the
established ideas in hospital architecture,
the exterior of the building presents
plain solidity of outline and gives but
little intimation of the emphasis put
upon every detail of interior construc.

crate in decorative art, but is designed

Poor Summer Business in Massachusetts,.


II was predicted that this would be a
great year at all the summer resorts,
the door being shut on European travel.
Yet reports from the seashore are TO
the effect that summer cottages have
not rented well this year. A lot of the
people who commonly go to Europe are
now in California. But that only ac-
counts for portion of the usual sea
coinQ tide. Cool weather in June and
early July kept many at home. But
probably the big cause for poor sea
son is the hard times. This feverish
period with few getting rich making
war material, and many economiEing 70
make up for dull business and half time
work, Is not favorable 20 the vacation
habit. Summer travel is one of the first
Injuries TO be cut of when a mans
income is down. Railroad fare costs
more than IL did, the hotels pay high
prices for food and stick il on the bills,
the tipping custom has become regu-
lar habit and fixed charge, by which the
landlord makes the guest pay the bulk
Of the wages for his help. Many peo-
Die have been feeling that they could
dodge these growing costs by owning
little bungalows. But few people are
able 10 spend the entire summer in their
cottages, and they plan 20 rent them for
part of the season. II business goes
bad, the cottages won't rent, and the
owners fnd their sumner costs higher
than ever--Grtsaheld Gazette.

LAST BROWN RAIDER

has resided on a farm near Salina
for fifty years, has the distinction or

the men directly associated with
John Brown and his famous border
warfare, Just preceding the val be

Parsons left his home in Massachu-
sets in 1855 to aid the Free Sellers in
the Kansas-Missouri border warfare,
following Brown through the series
of skrimishes which eliminated in
the famous battle of OsaWatomie. He
was then selected as one OF the ten
picked men who were to accompany
Brown on his raid through Virginia;
but, owing to the delay of nearly a
year in completing the plans for the
adventure. he left the expedition at
Cleveland, Ohio, thus missing the
Harper's Ferry disaster by a few
weeks.
Parsons health, at 81 years Of age,
is robust, and he is still able to do as
much work as the average man. 1t
was not until recent years that he
permitted himself to talk Of the John
Brown affair and his connection with

WHEAT TIED UP.

There will Still, However, Be Heavy
Deficit of Worlds Normal Crop.
A grain expert who has been watch
ing the grain markets and the
worlds grain fields for a number of
years, says:
There is at the present time about
Two billion bushels of wheat, the pro-
dnetion of the countries at8war, tied
up. This is about one-ha1f the
worlds total production of wheat,
which is four billion bushels. One
writer argues that, granting that the
warning nations produce a one-half
crop in the coming year, a deficit OF
one billion bushels will still be shown
The three countries upon which the
filling OF this deficit Of one billion
bushels will rest are the United
States, Canada and Argentina. The
combined output of these three coun-
tries is only 1,249.0 900 900; their ex-
portable surplus would, of course, be
much less, so it can easily be seen
that the question is not one to be
Eeasily solved. and it behooves all the
above countries to- Increase their re-
|8pectiva productions as much as
they possibly can, for when the war
lis over and trade begins to re-estab-
lish itself, aRd the nations undergo

ton, N. Y, of the death of Peter
Burke, a bachelor, who all his life in
this country had been a truckman on
wages or for himself. He and his
decrepit horse were known as the
slowest animate things in Bingham
ton. Burke was wont to say that he
had never averaged more than a dol
lar and a half a day n all the IS
lar and a half a day in all the 35
that that was enough.
When Burke died his relatives
thought so little of him that they did
not attend his funeral. He was only
an unambitious expressmanN But a
bank that was appointed to settle his
estate announced that he had nearly
$4,000 cash in bank and that he own
ed real estate worth $4,000.
How did he do it, assuming that the
story be true? Ii he made only s1.5O
ia day, allowing that he worked every
one of the 1856 days, his earnings
would have been less than $3.50 a
year; in 35 years he would have
earned about $4,000. But he had to
keep himself and his horse out Of
that, which must have taken a third
of what he had, leaving him only
$4,000 to invest. But at 3 per cent
compound interest, computed quarter
ly, a dollar will double in % years,
SO Burke doubtless could have rolled
up his fortune in the time stated.
But the lesson is not a simple one.
Burke did not cut much figure in his
community. He had no dependents
but his old horse, and society would
fare i'll if all men ere like Burke.
He may have been happy insofar as
he could be happy. He taught a les
son Of thrift, but he did so little good
that nobody mourned his death. No
body was the happier because he
lived. Now his relatives will get the
money, but not a dollar with the
blessing of the man who piled it up.
No: that is not life. The dollar
lis not a measure of liying.-Minne-
