surprisingly young for the influence

member is that ke is lust as big as bis

The others nodded.
1t was less than fifteen minutes be.
fore Gwyn was announced. He came
into the room with a briskness that
contrasted sharply with the august
dignity of the directors who deIberat-
ing over such a weighty problem, and
shook Balterman heartily BY the hand.
Balterman lost no time in getting to
the point.
I'VE have been comforting about
our new explosive" he announced.
You no doubt have heard Of it.
There are certain ingredients which
are essential in the manufacture Of it
and which we are DESTROYS Of obtain
ing. One Of these is cinnabar, 1t is
imperative that all our plans and
operations be absolutely confidential,
for there will be much in our actions
that would be invaluable to the Cen
trail Powers. We realize that our
every move. despite the discretion
with which ii is made, is closely fol.
lowed by the agents Of those Powers.
You. Gwyn. are the man we have
chosen to supply us with cinnabar, as
we understand that you have an un-
limited supply and because we know
that we can rely upon your conf.
dence.
Il thank you for the honor Of taking
me into your confidence" Gwyn re-
piled, and | can assure you that it
has not been misplaced. Isppreciste,
however. as you must. the vastness Of
this task to witch you are assigning
me. Your demand alone will surpass

Balterman shouted impatiently. The
price may be ridiculous. but it is also
reasonable is important There is
no use to dicker childishly with Mr..
Gwyn. 1t would be useless. He

The effect of Balterman's threat to
Withdraw both his influence and his
capital was astounding. There was
not a moments hesitation. The pro.
position was accepted.
Balterman turned to Gwyn. We
accept. Are you prepared to start for.

He rose from his chair. laughing,

and passed through door at his back
to an adjoining room. There, leaning
over long table. were his associates,
ready to do his bidding, reading the
code translation Of a cable message
they had just received and deciphered.
They greeted their superior with
dignity and relief. His mere pres.
ence and his austere mien were COM

forts to them.
Won Bleck was handed the cable,
he read it carefully. Then he smiled.
His associates knew the meaning Of
that smile-they had seen it often on
previous occasions. They knew, also.
what the cableGram contained. Won
Bleck spoke:
The most important thing to our
enemies, at the present time, is the
perfection and supply OF their new ex-
plosive. Therefore. naturally. the

ment. is the destruction OF this explo.

SAVING DAYLIGHS.

On April frst-and it will be no
April fol event, either-the United
States is going to lose an hour.
On that day every official clock in
the country will be showed back an
hour, by order of Congress.
This will be done in pursuance of
the Daylight Saving BILL" which was
passed last week.
In few days we will adjust our
selves to the change, but for time it
it will be somewhat perplexing. The
idea is simply to utilize more daylight
Those who go to work at eight o'clock
will still go to work at eight o'clock,
but eight o'clock after April the first
will be tantamount to what is seven
O'clock now. An those who get off at
six o'clock in the afternoon will quit
quit work at that hour; but six o'clock
then will be what is five o'clock now.
Those who now have an hour or so
after leaving their offices and shops
and stores will then have two hours
or more They will have more day
light.
OF course, this will mean in the ag-
gregate a Tremendous saving in coal
and light bill. 1t is estimated that
one hundred million dollars is the
prospective saving in fuel for the
country alone in the peoriad of one
year. 1t will not be necessary to
light up so early, either in the homes
or. offices.
/ This system obtains in France and
some of the other European coun-
tries, 1t has been tried, with much
success in several American cities
andi5itoiss believed that its adoption
foRi tbesr0untry in general will meet
with universal approval.
! Naturally, some people at the outset
will rise an hour later, by the clocks,
but in the end they will become ac-
frustomed % TtiIe change in time and

war cheaply. Irregular troops, con-
trary to all the practice of war, have
been systematically murdered, and
civil populations Unfortunately
nlassacred, solely to spread terror. A
regular system of ingenious terrorism
has been directed against civilians, as
horrible as anything in the istory of
civil or religious wars. Large and
populous cities have been, not once,
but 20 to 80, 40 times, bombarded and
burnt, and the women and children
in them wantonly slaughtered, with
the sole object of infiicting suffering.
All this has been done, not in license
or passion, but by the calculating
ferocity of scientific soldiers"
The above was not written, though
II might nave Deen, yesterday, last
week, last month, or last year. 1t ap-
peared in the English Fortnightly Re-
view February, 1871, shortly before
the surrender of Paris. Frederick
Harrison, the writer, is still alive. It's
statements were true then, are true
now. julius Caesar in his Common
taries narrates events which show that
even before the time of Christ the
Germans demonstrated the possession
of all of the rudiments of their modern
"kultur" 1t is no new thing; and
hundreds of thousands of men will
have died in vain in this war if this
sinister thing is not absolutely and
utterly exterminated forever by the
forces of civilization arrayed against
it

SHARES FOR SALE!


Does anybody around her want to
invest some money in a senatorial
candidacy?
Charlie Edwards, former Savannah
congressman, who, like Charles H.
and there the likeness ceases-durlng
his term of Office, never said a fool
ish thing, and never did wise one
says he will be a candidate, provided
he can raise the money.
In other words, if sufficient people
will finance his ambition he will pay
the entrance fee, publish his card in
the papers, and offer himself to the
neople for their consideration.
That is to say, Mr.. Edwards would
like to capitalize himself as a sena'
torial candidate, and sell himself on
shares.
We imagine it would be no greater
task than investing in a gold mine in
Alaska, an oil we'll in Arkansas, or
a. lead mine in Nevada.
If Mr.. Edwards will put his shares
down as low as ten cents, we will buy
handful, just to show him that we
are sport and will take chance
on anything once!
At any rate, his scheme is a unique
one. Perhaps he can put it over
We would suggest that he engage sew
eral good promoters and stock-selling
agents, hire brass band and tour the
state. He ought to taken in enough
to run for two or three weeks, any
how
With Emmett Shaw selling clothes
and Willie Upshaw selling song books
and both running for the United
States Senate as a side-line, there is
no reason why Mr.. Edwards should
not sell himself on shares and get in
the race right along beside them.
