told the clerk she had left her sons

"some place out in China dot sounds

The clerk smiled and turned to an
other near by, he said, What kind
of a noise does an automobile make,
Joe?" :.
"Honk, honk!" the other suggest
ed.
Yah, dots it," exclaimed the wo-
man, her face Frightening: "Honk,

So the clerk made the order pay

ed. Soon the colony grew to a town
of two or three thousand persons.
In many ways it was a remarkable
little village. Vanderbilt himself was
MAYOR. common council and law max
er. He laid down two or three car
dinal PRINCIPLES for conduct, as fol-
lows:
|. There shall be no dogs or chick
ems in Biltmore.
2. No servant employed within the
town shall sleep therein.
The first law is self explanatory;
the second, Mr.. Vanderbilt believed,
would solve the difficulties of the
servant problem by making it difficult
for housewives to bid against each
other for the services of the help.
Both rules worked splendidly and
Biltmore never knew what it was to
have domestic strife.
No City Treasury.
They fined a drunken man Sc once
within the confines Of Biltmore and
had hard time disposing of the
money because there was no city
treasurer, Vanderbilt always paid the
bills. The town was quiet and clean,
the soul of order and refinement.
It is this little town that the South
ern railway and Messrs. Sinclair and
Stephens have purchased from the
Vanderbilt estate. Biltmore house
still remains in the family, tribute:

cas- most picturesque millionaires.

colossal fire places are at the west

Another feature of the main floor
is the living hall, 60 feet long and 80

swimming pool of exactly the same

room is the tapestry gallery, IS feet

is more than 800 feet long and con-
tains a bowling green. The porte

quet hall.

famous circular staircase, are a be-

Of external appointments, the most
interesting is the "rampe-douce.

mouths of half dozen gigantic black
iron terrapins. Spouting thence, it
rushes away in a little stream and
over artificial cascades into an arti-
fetal lake.
On the posts of Bilmore house are
marble figures of NEUROLOGICAL crea-
lures, half women and half lion, that
were imported by George Vanderbilt
from Rome for the decorative purpose
they serve. To the average visitor,
that is, one who has a permit to drive
through the Biltmore estate, the ram
pe-douce and the lion ladies are the
only objects that may be closely in
spected. No stranger is permitted to
come within 100 yards of the house
itself.
Tennis courts, flower beds, aquatic
gardens and an outdoor swimming
pool complete an external ensemble.
One would suppose that this earth
ly paradise made a playground only
for New York's millionaire -four
hundred" but strange as it may
seem Mr.. Vanderbilt's guests more
often were literary or artistic folk
than the merely rich. Edith Whar-
ton Ford was often visitor. Van
derbilt himself was quiet, introspec-
tive character with literary turn of
mind.
It was to house the servants and
overseers of his 100000 acre estate
that Mr.. Vanderbilt originally planned
and built the town of Biltmore. But
it soon outgrew the original idea.
Persons of considerable means seized
the opportunity to rent the model
cottages which Vanderbilt construct

Washington. May 15.-The confer

bill providing for an increase in pay

colonel in the army and marine corps
and captain in the navy was adopted
by the house without debate. The re-

little opposition is expected, as the
senate amendments were accepted by
the house conferees.
Designed to protect the uniformed
branches of the United States service
from inroads on its personnel made by
desertion and designations occasioned
by low service pay, the bill carries an
increase of 20 per cent to enlisted men,
a substantial increase for the noncom-
missioned and petty officers Of the
army and navy and a bonus ranging
from 5000 to 5000 in the higher grades
The increases would be retroactive to

something to cure me. One day 1 read

and began to feel relief; when it was
threefourths gone, I felt fine and when it
was used up had no pains. Wife got me
another box but I have felt the pain but
twice. I used five tablets out of the new
box and have no more stomach trouble.
Now write to tell you how thankful
am that heard of EATONIC. I feel like
a new man; eat what like, drink plenty
of water, and it never hurts me at all.

Not only Kiev, but also Odessa, the
Black sea port, fell into the possession
of the Poles and Ukrainians who are
fighting to free the Ukraine from the
Russian bolsheviki. The latter, how
ever, have organized strong lines Of
resistance east of Kiev and assert that
they expect the war with Poland to
continue for years. 1t is understood
that the convention signed by Poland
and Ukrainia just before the present
drive opened provides for Polish out
let to the Black sea, which has been
one of Poland's national ambitions for
centuries. Poland agrees to give
Ukrainia military support for ten
years. Recent dispatches indicate that
Roumania is seeking an alliance with
Poland against Russia. Europe was
puzzled by the silence, throughout the
week, of the soviet wireless station at
Moscow, and there were conjectures
that the cooperative societies might
have engineered a rising against the
bolsheviki.
