BERNSTORFF ADMITS
and DEFENDS ! PLOT
Expresses Surprise That Sc.
Cret Has Come to Liqht

London, Mar. 13.-The Hamburg
er Fremdenblatt, according to Reu'
ter's interview its representative
had IT Copenhagen in which Count
Won Bernstroff, former German am.
bassador to the United States, ex'
pressed proud joy 1T the way the
German people are bearing the re.
suits Of the breach in relations with
America, which he (Bernstroff) %
long prevented.
Count Won Bernstroff is quoted
as saying that he was keenly affect
ed by the news he received for the
first time at Christiana that instruc-
tions which had passed through his
hands to the German minister in
Mexico had come to the knowledge
Of the American government.
It is natural that. it's publication
caused the greatest sensation in
America, Count Won Bernstroff
said, declaring I'VE always strictly
declined to mix ourselves in the pol
itics of the American continent"
All the American assertions about
such intrigues in Haiti, Cuba, and
Colombia are fairy tales, Count Won
Bernstroff is quoted as saying, and
he added that positively so long as
he was ambassador at Washington
he was never aware Of the slightest
indication that the German govern

states in any sense hostile to the

THE NJ

People are talking hard times and
at the same time are living better than
kings did a hundred years ago. Moth
ing is too good for the average Ameri-
can family no matter how much 1t
costs. There is no thought of cutting
out needless expense. IL the boy
wants a $40 gun to hunt jack rabbits
he gets It. and Mary gets a wrist watch
or a piano. Good schools are right at
our door, but it is more in keeping
with swift society to send the children
away to some eastern school. Pota-
toes cost s1.75 per bushel, but who
would live on rice in preference?
There are a hundred ways we could
cut the expense, but we are too busy
keeping up with the style of a richer
neighbor to think of curtailing bills at
the stores. That the people will
change is too much TO hope for at the
present time. II will require a panic
something worst to wake up the
majority OF our expensive living peo-
ple.-Brookings Register.

PROSE Poem WITH A MORAL

II asked eight dollars and a half for
one Polled Angus calf, which price
was not too high; hoofed it west, !
hoofed II east, endeavoring to sell the
beast: but no one wished to buy. Day
after day / toiled along, bored men
with the same old song. | have a
calf for sale, I ask eight bones and
nifty cents for unequalled %critter,
gents-who will dig up the kale?'
Then said a farmer. rest your feet
and quit your wearing out the street
and bowling by the year; spend fifty
cents and advertise your sawedoff COW
of pocket size and buyers will appear
| followed this same advice and put
my jaded feea ON lie; and when the
ad appeared. ten customers came to
my gate; one bought the calf and paid
the freight, the others bucked and
reared. And thus by printing little
ads, the wise man gathers In the scads
and rests his aching corns-a little ad
will make more noise than fifty seven
little boys all footing on their horns

NEW FRACTIONAL coin

A two and one-half cent piece is
demanded by the country, according
to the director of the mint, whose
annual report made public at Wash
ington repeats passages OF a law
authorizing coins of that denomina-
ton from copper and nickle. when
you consider that we have no coin
between the one-cent and the Ave-
cent piece and that many an article
worth more than a cent and less than
Ave cents sells for the latter price
because OF the lack OF an intermediate
monetary unit of value, says the direc-
tor. "the economic Importance of 1t
will be readily seen. Articles which
now sell for fifteen cents each or two
for q quarter would sell for 1914
cents. Popular shops such as the five
and ten-cent stores would undoubtedly
place articles now selling two for five
cents on sale at 2h cents."-Ex.
