HE OWNED THE INSPIRATION
An Anecdote of Hopkinson Smith and
 New England Miller

During this professional work the young engineer (Francis Hopkinson Smith) used to go off and take his recreation painting. l recall an incl dent which he related at that time as illustrative of a phase of the New England coUntryman's charac- ter.
 Frank Smith had found an old wa ter mill with overshot wheel near some piece of his work and, having ensconced himself in a shady and fla Vorable spot, he proceeded to paint a picture of the mill. His occupation soon drew the attention of the mil Ter, who strolled over and observed him across the fence with growing interest. Finally, on the scond day, as his picture grew in resemblance, the miller asked the painter: What are yu going to do with that when it is done?"
 Sell it. said Smith, working at the finishing touches.
 After a pause of reflection:
 What do you cal-clate to get for it?"
 "Oh. a hundred dollars" said Smith. cheerfully, Perhaps more."
 A HuHuIeu SdSpSu lile miller.
 He walked away to reflect and presently returned. His manner somewhat changed. Hes you asst anybody's permission to paint that mill?" he asked, lean ing over the fence.
 No, I have not said Smith promptly, whose picture was now about finished. ii V,
 Hes anybody ever given you per mission to paint it?"
 ''No,f' said Smith.
 ''We-all, you know whose mill it is 9"
 No, I do not, but I rather expect it is yours" said the painter.
 Tt is," said the miller decisively. and then. as the painter made ready to leave:
 ''We-al, don't you think you ought to divide what you get for that pie ture with the man who owns the mill?''
 Well, honestly, I don't" said Smith, laughing as he bade him good day and came away leaving him still hanging oyer the fence rondering the inequalities of life.-Scribner's Ma gaZine.

scribe one million dollars bonds, the full amount would be left in it's vaults. it is thought, simply being transferred on it's books to the credit of the loan syndicate.
 With this done, should it be found desirable to have one-fourth of the entire credit available in New York the bank could be called upon to transfer one-fourth of it's subscrip- tion to New York. or one e-quarter of a million. The idea of tying up the full amount of the loan at once seemed to be unattractive to both parties to the negotiations.
 Many American bankers are of the opinion that one-half of one per cent allowed them for services would be on that basis for each year of the loan. Thus if the loan runs for five years, it is thought the banks would obtain the bonds at 97L or 21a per cent below par.

IN SERVIAN INVASION

Car Ferdinand have captured the heights
OF kitka, in the Goljak Mountains, %
miles west of the main Servian railway
and So miles southwest of Nish.
This news indicates that the entire Ser
Wan army has been trapped by the Aus
trian, German and Bulgarian armies CO.
operating in a general campaign. Loss
of the railway line will prevent the An
glo-French eXpeditiin landed at Salonica
from helping the Servians, its sole route
of advance toward the north having been
taken away.
Austria also claims successes in its op-
erations against the Servians.
According TO a dispatch from Athens,
the first detachment of the Allies has
arrived in Macedonia"
This report is unintelligible on account
of the vagueness of localization. Allies
troops have been disembarking for a
fortnight at Salonica, the port OF Greek
Macedonia on the Aegean Sea. Dispatches
from the scene of activity have credited
the expeditionary forces with marked
advance northwest through the consid-
erable stretch of Macedonian territory
toward Servia. One report had the van
guard on the Serb frontier. and another
from a different source announced that
a large force had reached Gvegheli, 30
miles within Servia.
The Bulgarian claim that they had
cut the Nish -Salonica railway was re-
ceived with doubt by British military ex-
perts, who asserted that an advance OF
so miles in three days in the face of
resistance by the Servians would be a
physical imposslbility for any army.
Because of Greece's refusal to help
Servia against Bulgaria, Servia was ar

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS
OF PORT SHOW GREAT
JUMP IN NINE MONTHS
Report Indicates Large Increase
in Foreign Trade-Figures
Doomed as Result of
War
u. S. WORLDS COAL KING

A five-million- dollar increase in the ex-
ports of Philadelphia for the nine months
ending September 30 over the same pc
riod in 1914 is shown in figures given out
today at the Customs House. Import
figures this year show a gain of more
than 100000 over the first nine months
OF last year.
The total exports for this year were
$50, O,SS5,4l6. and for last year, 4,5l6,S04.
The import figures are H12S for 1918
and $74,019,t6S for the corresponding
period of 1914
Expectation figures were doomed by the
enormous quantity Of cereals, auto
mobiles, war supplies and coal that were
shipped. Imports were increased by the
heavy arrival of crude oil, iron ore and
nitrate of soda.
Anthracite coal shipments for the nine
months totaled 5l,5S3 tons, valued at
S232, ,216, against Al, ,S6l tons in 1914, valued
at 1885, $50. Bituminous exports approx
mated 792,6oo tons, valued at s2.S72, 500,
against $50 1886 tons, valued at $1,375, 1897,
last year in the same months. The call
for bituminous has not ceased, and each
day sees the grand total OF record-break-
ing expectation swelling.
Sugar, which brings In revenue in the
way of duty, was one of the chief factors
In raising the import figures While the
number of pounds received during the
nine months was not as great as that
Of the three-quarters of 1914, the quail
ity was better and had a higher value.
There were brought from Cuba, Hawaii,
the Philippines and Porto Rico 457, ,775 2S
pounds. valued at sl6,SS5,6SS Last year
in the same time 575, l72 pounds were
brought in. with a value of $l1,694, ,024.
This years Increase amounts to &,29l, ,6Ss.
SeDtember was a banner month In the
ports business, although the imports
showed a falling off. In the 30 days of
that month the exports increased more
than 100 per cent Their value was
S9,72O.S04, as compared with $4.s2l,132 in
September, 1914 a gain of Sl.S96,672.
