HONEYMOON WAS EXPENSIVE.

Hot Springs. Va, Jan. 7.--"1 wonder
IL the President thinks his honeymoon
was worth the money"
This remark was made by a hard
headed tinancier--tIist as the President
and Mrs Wilson embarked on their
special train for Washington from Hot
Springs, where they have been spend
ing the first two weeks OF their welded
lii. The financier was probably more
or less pessimistic, as, instead Of
honeymooning. he had been down at
Hot Springs trying TO get some relief
FOR his rheumatism.
Hot Springs is one OF the most ex-
pensiye places in America In which TO
spend any time. whether you're on a
honeymoon or not II Is only the veal
thy who can live there for ten days OF
more. even II they are satisfied with
room and bath.
The special train which conveyed tho
President, Mrs. Wilson and their at
tendants to Hot Springs cost in the
neighborhood OF 5000 each way said
one Of the railroad officials to me.
The Presidents suite at the Home
stead rents for $50 a day His valet
and Mrs. Wilson's maid had rooms Tor
81 day each. The transportation OF
the White House automobiles was $50
each way. The room for Charley
Schwem, the Presidents own stenog-
rapher. was So day. The room and
board for seven Secret Service men
were S22 day. Salary Of the Secret
Service men will average $40 a day.
Garage fees and gasoline average 10 a
day. wages OF servants SO a day; sal
airy of stenographer 81 day; tips and
fees SIS.
While one might compute the amount
which was spent for flowers. the boxes
which arrived from Washington con
tanning American Beauty roses each
morning could not have cost less than
SIS daily.
Outside Of these expenses all Of
which were borne by the President per-
sonally and the Government--the six
teen days Of the Presidents honeymoon
cost for newspapers Of this country the
round sum OF $4,000. This, Of course
included salaries and hotel bills Of re-
porters. telegraph and telephone mes
sages.
But. as my financial frieHd remark
ed. we are the richest nation in the
world, and even II the honeymoons ~
our Presidents come high they don't
come high often"

Last Sunday afternoon Hamp Tur'

yolved IN a difficulty at the formers
home, near the mouth Of Current
river, in which Jones suffered the
loss of an eye and other painful in'
juries by being shot by Turner.
The weapon used was a shotgun,
and It is said four shots were fired,
but only one took effect. 1t is al
legged that the trouble was the re-
suit of misunderstanding about
some timber.
Jones came to town and reported
the matter to the authorities, where
upon Sheriff Russell ordered the ar
rest of Turner, who was brought
here Monday and had a hearing be-
fore Esq. J. A. Douglas. He was
bound over IN the sum of $500 TO
