Business Brisker
AS War Spreads

As things shape up now It looks
as though We were the only life
sized country that could keep neu-
trail for long, and as a consequence
all the representatives of the coun-
tries in conflict are keeping US pref
ty well posted in the belief that they
may have to turn their interests
over to US. We shall probably soon
have to add Austrian interests 70
the German burdens we now have.
II there is a German advance,
some of the Allied ministers will no
doubt turn their legations over 70
US. The consequence is that we
may see more Of the inside of things
than anybody else. Now, at least,
We are eyerybody's friends. This
IS undoubtedly the most interesting
post in Europe for the time being,
and | would not be anywhere else
for the wealth of the Indies.

Yesterday, according 70 one Of

the Care du Midi were followed for
some time and finally arrested.
When searched, they proved to be
young German officers who had
adopted that dress in order to con-
ceal carrier pigeons which they
were about to deliver in Brussels.
Wireless outfits are said TO have
been discovered in several houses
belonging 70 Germans. | cannot
remember all the yarns that are
going about, but even II part Of
them are true, il should make in

looking for the spies. The regular
arrests Of proven spies have been
numerous enough 10 turn every
Belgian into an amateur spy-catch-

master Max was chased for several
blocks because somebody raised a
cry Of "Espior" based on nothing
more than his blond beard and

Yesterday afternoon a Garde
Civique came in with the announce

the day before to the wife Of the
concierge, and that all sorts Of

and that they should Immediately

found out the true facts.
Then we posted a notice in the
hall. But that was not enough. AS
is always the case with humans, they
all knew better than TO pay any at
tention 10 what the notice said, and
each one Of the hundred or more
callers had some reason 10 insist on
talking IL over with somebody. When
they once got hold Of one Of US 1t
was next TO impossible 10 get away
without listening to the whole story
of their lives. All they had to do
was to go down 70 the German Con-

in this way they were preventing US

very good-natured about it, and only

he got out Of the car he remarked

Reasons Why You Should Patronize
this Horse
He is an extra good individual and
represents the most popular breed in
the country today. His pedigree repre-
sents the best blood of his breed. His
quality is unsurpassed and he has the
best disposition of any stallion in the
country. He transmits this disposition
to his colts. He is tried horse and a
sure foal getter. His colts are easy to
sell and bring good prices; they have
high life, plenty of vim, but are easy to
handle. He will stay here and give you
a chance to breed to him again,
We will exercise. the greatest care in
handling mares. but will not be respon-
sibe for accidents.
Will stand tor the season of 1917, I'M
til July l, at the following places:
Hutton, at M. G. Mellot's, Mondays
and Tuesdays of each week, beginning
April 23rd and Oath. McHenry, at
