Ukrainian legation here. The story
as worked out b. the police is as
good as a play.
The scheme was the familiar
confidence game Of inducing the
broker 20 violate the law and Of
seizure OF the money by criminals
disguised as gendarmes.
Illegal Act
A supposed Ukranian general re-

gagged with a money broker to buy

on the appointed afternoon. but
little ahead Of time. a man in the
uniform OF a Ukranian colonel called
on the broker and saluting said he
had come for Gen. ks money. They
sat down 20 a table TO check the
money. when the door was opened
and two gendarmes walked in and
placed both under arrest on the
charge of possessing and dealing In
foreign money.
The broker begged and protested
and finally was told 10 appear in
court on the following day. his record
being taken with the greatest care

protests were unavailing He
stormed and invoked his nationality
in vain. The two policemen gath

An hour later the broker woke up
10 the fact that the colonel and two
gendarmes were takers and he had
been robbed of some 100000 rubles
The Vienna police is efficient in
this kind OF thing and IN a day or
two had gathered in two OF the
swindlers, but not the one with the

finally ascertained that the money

Irish Linen Industry.

Irish linen acquired national impor- tance In the seventeenth century. Dur ing the reign of Charles II the exten- sion of the Irish woolen manufacture appears to have made such rapid strides that the Jealousy of English manufacturers was aroused. Conse- quently, an act WAS passed by the British parliament prohibiting any ex- port of wool from Ireland, except to England and Wales. Not content with this, another act was passed later for bidding any export whatever of wool or woolen manufacture from Ireland. The woolen trade being thus reduced to the quantity required for home con sumption, rapidly declined, and its place soon taken by linen manufac- tuFe.
 The old Irish name for flax was lhin, closely resembling French lin, the Latin linum and the English words lint and linen. Linen dyed yellow was much worn by the an. cient Irish, the brughaids, or farmers, being obliged to learn to prac. tice the cultivation of flax.

GAMBLED WITH GRIM DEATH
Adventures Who Sought Wealth in the klondike Left a Ghastiy
 Trail of Tragedies.

The old overland journey from Ed monton, Alta, to the Klondike was trail of tragedies. A weather-beaten skeleton of an old wagon of the prairie schooner type, the woodwork rotted and only fragments of the wheels re- maining, recently was found in the rugged Liard river country. On a piece of tattered canvas that once had been the wagon cover, printed in black paint in letters foot high half ef- faced by the rains and snows of years. were the words "Klondike or Bust
 Many stories are told by old-timers of the argonauts who found tragedy instead of gold on the north trail which began at Edmonton. Thou sands of men from all parts of the world fiocked to the town in 1896 dur ing the Klondike rush. They outfitted at the Hudson Bay company two-story frame store which then was consider ed the greatest store in western Can- ada. Today, when the company has thrown open all its lands to farm set tlement and is centering its energies on the fur trade and general merchant dising, big modern department store rises on the site of this ancient en- porium in the heart of Edmonton.
 Turning their faces toward the Yu- kon, the gold seekers struck out on perilous journey of 2,000 miles across an untracked wilderness of forests, muskegs, mountains and mighty riv. CTS. Of the thousands who started, only a few ever reached their destf nation. Many turned back disheart- ened to Edmonton. Many beat back to civilization by way of the British Columbia coast Still greater num- bers were swallowed up in vast un- known northern land never to be heard of again. They gambled with death who travelled that trail.

 It is a sign of good fortune to put on some garment inside out, but only if it Is done by accident and the gar ment Is allowed to remain reversed during the day.

The Similarity.

Ray Bright was Santa Claus on Christmas eve at the Thompson kin. dergarten at Terre Haote His little daughter is in the kindergarten, so he was very careful to change his voice and actions as much as he could. But when he went to slip on his Santa Claus suit he forgot all about the white handkerchief around his neck which he wore to keep his collar from rubbing the boil underneath.
 And after the party was over and he had again donned his citizens clothing he went after his little daughter. Happily she said, "Oh daddy, Santa Claus was here little while ago." and then her voice be- came sympathetic, land. oh, daddy, he has boils on his neck, too. o."-Indian- apolis News.

piece of imaginative art-painted in
oil and sold to the public at a price
which makes the old masters look
like trading stamps. But it violates
one of the canons--it is not art for
arts sake, but a picture with a pur-
pose. That purpose is to assist the
Standard in shaking out the ockets
Of the people.
Because, whatever the figures seem
to show, there is little real danger
of a gas shortage. Only relatively
small part Of the world has yet been
developed. Old oil fields, that were
pronounced worked out twenty-five
years ago, are still producing heavily
Mountains Of oil shale, from which
billions of barrels of oil can be ex-
tracted, remain untouched.
But even If the dire predictions Of
the gas venders were true, the world
need not despair. other sources Of
power will be developed. Hydr0-elec-
trio energy can be produced on a
large scale, at figures which compare
favorably with the present price OF
gas. AlcOhOl-if we could keep 1t
out of our neighbors' stomachs--
can be made in limitless quantities
from almost every variety of vege-
table waste. And, in spite of fifty's
years talk about the exhaustion OF
coal mines, there is still enough coal
in the world to last five hundred
;ears, at the present rate of consump-
tion-maybe a good deal longer.
1t now seems certain, however.
that long before the coal is exhaust
ed, other sources Of energy will take
its place. So we may count with
equal confidence upon something else
gasoline long before the
last oil well runs dry. The only
thing to worry about in that connec-
tion is the price which monopolistic
enables the producers to
extract firm the people.

Everybody comedies that a certain
amount Of money is necessary to con-
duct political campaign, and every
body agrees that the use of an exces.
sive amount Of it, or its use for any
but legitimate purposes, is a crime
OF the first magnitude. The law has
made ineffectual attempts to regulate
and control campaign expenditures,
hut SO far the matter is ''up in the
air" so to speak, and constant sub
ject Of suspicion and recrimination
Yet the remedy is perfectly simple.
Here 1t is, offered as freely as the
breeze blows from the gulf: Just let
all contributions be made to a single
fund; let a non-partisan and impair

bnrsement; let all candidates have
enough for legitimate purposes, but
not one cent for corruption. Thus,
no budding political aspiration would
perish for lack of funds and no over
grown ambition would ride rough.
