His royal nibs of Persia. finding
that his treasury was empty again
and that q prima donna would soon
visit his capital to sing for him and
would expect sunburst as big as a
dinner plate, called Murphy. his royal
treasurer, to him and said:
murphy. thus far you have been a
fat failure. Your suggestions about
how to raise money have not been
worth peanut shucks."
"Your highness, can a man make
money out Of nothing at an?" replied
Murphy. when 1 came here you had
a full treasury; you had horses and
carriages; you had a few diamonds
left. Where have they gone? Excuse
my plain speech, but you have vast
ed them In spite of all l could do
II they are gone, is it my fault?''
"Of course it is your fault" said the
king. 1T was your business as treas
urer to keep my Golfers supplied as
fast as I emptied them. I am king
and must live as a king, and my treas
urer must be constantly planning new
ways to uphold my dignity. AS a
king who is almost dead broke can
have dignity? You know l can't. You
don't seem to care a red cent whether
1 am Inundated or not"
"But do care, o king. care so
much and have planned so much that
my head Is buzzing all the time. Just
now it would be a relief to part with
it."
"Rut rather like you, after all. Mr..
Murphy, and shall let you keep your
head on your shoulders for awhile
and try to teach you something about
finance. It is true that 1 spend large
sums Of money and that have the
reputation Of being a waster, but l
know how to f1nancier and get the
rhino back. For instance, bring hither
a poker DECK
Murphy disappeared for two min
utes and then came back, bringing
pack Of cards and face that showed
detection and despair. he had had
that trick worked on him before. and
1t was coming again
"Now, then, Murphy, l owe you
about 5000 back salary. don't II"
asked the king.
"It's all Of that. your majesty" was
the reply.
"Well, I'll give you chance to win
some more Cut for deal. l take the
first deal How many cards do you
want?"
"None, O king"
"Ah-ah! You have got a pat hand.
eh? Well, what is your bet?"

ufactuses More Tobacco Pro.
ducts Than Any Other
City in the World.

Following are extracts from an ad-
dress delivered by Col. A. D. Watts,
Collector of Internal Revenue for the
Fifth District of North Carolina, at a
smoker given by The Twin City Club,
Winston-Salem, February 4th, 1916:
''SOme Comparisons
"Winston-Salcm is supplying one
fourth of all the chewing and smok-
ing tobacco consumed in the United
States, besides exporting vast quanti-
ties to foreign lands. This statement
is taken from the report of the COM
missioner of Internal Revenue for the
first quarter of the present fiscal year
and from private advices from Wash
ington, as to the second quarter which
ended December 3lst, last.
"Your city is making one-seventh
of all tobacco products chewing and
smoking tobacco, cigars, cigarettes
and snuff manufactured in the Uni
ted States. Your manufacturers are
paying on an average about $37 900
a day revenue taxes to the govern
ment and the amount is increasing
from month to month. When your
government building, much the hand
soonest in the State, was completed
last July at a cost of $250,000 your
newspapers made the statement that
the taxes paid in your city to Uncle
Sam for the first eight days of its oc-
cupancy would pay for it. Since Sep
tember, it has taken only fraction
over seven days collections here to
equal its cost. SO far this week. Mr..
Crawford has taken in $206,428.50.
II predict that before 1916 shall
have ended your average weekly pay
ments to the government on tobacco
will more than pay for this magnif-
cent building, leaving the collections
for the other fifty-one weeks as clear
profit to the government.
Tobacco Shipments
"Winston-Salem is shipping on an
average each week day to all parts of
this country and to foreign lands at
least Sl50,000 Of tobacco products.
"In conclusion, Winston-Salem man
ufactures more tobacco, all tobacco
products are taken into this state
ment, than any city on earth, little or
big. Industrially, she is easily first
in North Carolina, population ccnsid-
cred, first in America and | believe,
in the world: socially, never failing
delight to her friends"
