The Story of a Merchant Prince.

There was an old geezer and he had
lot of sense;
lie started up business on a dollar
eighty cents.
The dollar for stock and the eighty for
an ad
Brought him three lovely dollars in a
day, by dad;
Well, he bought more goods and lit
tie more space
And he played that system with q
smile on his face.
The customers flocked to his two-by-
four
And soon he had to hustle for regular
store
Up on the square, where the people
pass,
He gobbled up a corner that was all
plate glass.
He fixed up the windows with the best
that he had
And he told 'em all about it in half
page ad.
He soon had 'em coming, and he nev-
er, never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down on his ads
one bit.
Well, he's kept things humming in
the town ever since
And everybody calls him the Mercha mt
Prince.
Some say it's luck, but that's all
bunk
Why, he was doing business when the
the times were punk.
People have to purchase and the geezer
was wise
For he knew the way to get 'em was tc
advertise.

GIVES Solemn Warning.
TO WORKING CLASSES
Former Dutch Minister at Petro.
grad Gives Five Cardinal Points
of Bolshevism.

AMSTERDAM. December "a fcor-
respondence Of the Associated Press).
The five cardinal points OF bolshev-
ism are. according to NJ Oudendyk.
formerly Dutch minister in Petro-
grad, are follows: One, high
wages: two don't work: three, take
other peoples property: four. no pun
ishment and five. no taxation. Said
Mr.. Ondendyk:
II wish to give a solemn warning
against the high -falutin notions
against the high-fautin notions
which I have seen in Russia. Bolshev-
ISM, I say without exaggeration. is,
the end of civilization. I have known
Russia Intimately for twenty years
new conditions.
Working Glasses Plight Worst.
Never have the working classes of
Russia suffered as they are doing at
the present moment, Notwithstanding
all that the present so-caled ruling
classes in that country choose to tell
the world.
The bulk of the workmen in Rus
sia are today far and away worse OF
that they ever have been, and the
state of unemployment is simply ter
rible. When I left Petrograd the sit
uation was one of utter starvation,
and most people hardly knew how
they would exist through the follow
ing day. Wherever bolshevism rules
the nation has been beaten to pulp
and is utterly helpless. The future
to me seems hopeless. One thing is
certain-that left as she is now Rus
sia will be in state of utter and,
complete ruin"

YANKS IN FINE FETTLE

Practice March Into the Snow-Cov
cred Hills Shows Them "Fit

vLADIvOSTOK. December "a (Cor-
respondence of the Associated Press).
The American forces on the Vladi-
vostok front turned out for practice
march into the hills today. In the
early crisp air of the morning the
troops assembled from various camps,
some of which lie three to four miles
away in the valleys beyond the Golden
Horn bay. They came in heavy march
ing order-heavy is the word-in buff
falo-hide or lined great
coats and fur caps, and with close to
sixty pounds on their backs. They
brought their field kitchens all fired
up for the noon meal, besides all the
other equipment of mobile army
The start was from the army base
at the foot of the bay. With back
ground of dun hills splashed with
snow and dotted here and there with
wooden shacks, with roadds winding
away int othe distance filled with the
assembling soldiers, one could easiiy
ina gine the scene of one of Wash-
ington's Pennsylvania campaigns. Ihe
big, sleek mules in their brand-ne"
harness looked efficient. The pig
horses with the big men riding them
looked busineSs-like. The horses and
mules, like the men, were stout ana

Wonder of the Natives.

The native population gathered and
looked their admiration. Workmen
knocked off work to watch them go
by. Even some of the officers who
with Gen. Graves reviewed the col
umu from the roadside evinced more
than usual interest in the new-pat-
tern guns and field equipment
There were some little guns trun-
died by all wrapped up in canvas COW
ers. There were men carrying queer
looking things like modified "blunder-
buses" SOMEBODY said they could LAY
down an effective barrage at 500
yards And there were a lot of other
guns.
From an angle in the road the re-
viewers watched the Brown line elm
a steep grade and disappear around
the shoulders of d rocky hill. The idea
appears to have been to demonstrate
the fitness of the force to march =
called upon. And the verdict was:
Fit for anything-even up to the

Any one who knows a good picture
by first class actors, as well as good
light, handling, ETC., and who saw the
show at the Royal last night, recog-
nizes that Manager Pitman is cater
ing only to fastidious tastes. The
theatre was crowded last night with
people who came to witness the big
double show, and no one was disap-
pointed. On the contrary all were
pleased, if the remarks of common
dation heard on all sides is criterion.
The new equipment just installed
works in splendid shape. The light is
as near perfect as can be and the han
ding of the work all that could be de-
sired. This will improve, however, as
the manipulation becomes more accus-
toned to the new machine.
Mr.. Pitman has an unusually good
booking for the near future. There
will be no show tonight aside from the
one given by the golf club. Tomorrow
night, however, William Fox will pre-
sent an all star play entitled "Why |
Would Not Marry" 1t is a good pic
ture and will attract big crowd.

from New York for Brest on Friday
instead of next Monday, the date or

ant Secretary Roosevelt disclosed
that the change wassmade as a result

the ship could sail.
As far as was learned today no in
formation has been received at the

tiers about the situation which dis
patches from France indicate las ais

their belief that the president has no
idea of leaving Paris prematurely and
that the inquiry about the transport
was merely precaution to insure the
presence of the ship when the presi-
dent is ready to return home.
