SPOKANE BLUEBEARD
WINS MANY LADIES

The papers are full of the ever
marrying Bluebeard that has won
some many life companions. We
quote an interesting story from the
Spokane Spokesman-Reyie
Every child has shuddered about
the Bluebeard of legend and later,
grown up, has wondered a little by
what means "B. b. was able to en-
trap so many wives.
Now modern times have produced
a Bluebeard-plus. His mechanism of
allure has been discovered and may
be analysed This Bluebeard even
had list of "unworked prospects" in
the matrimonial lines which he kept
as his dearest treasure, as firm
would its sacred mailing list.
In the first place, with a fine
gesture of hand on heart, "B. b" en-
phasiZes purity of his motive, which
/ assure you is honorable" And the
women glowed in admiration. Next
he says, Il am going to be open and
frank with you. | will make my mo-
tive so plain as to be clearly under
stood" Can't you see the women
thrilling to the picture he paints of
himself, honest and frank. In the
next sentence he says he will make
a good home for some good woman"
Now that good home means lot to
woman, especially one who has
worked hard. 1t means a mythical
somewhere, where she may escape all
irksome labor and where as good
woman" with nothing to do she may
enjoy the same good home"
Next he modestly hurries over a
few personal details of height and
coloring. But the story of his letter
/ is where he twitters, Il believe in
the better and elevating things OF
life" There is nothing a woman
loves better than the flutter of angel
wings. The minister or the man who
can sing sweetly of the good and
the noble woos more wisely than any
other male.
Bluebear has come to earth with
the reinsurance that he is neat in
appearance and well respected, hav-
ing the confidence and friendship OF
many good people of means and in
fluence Oils other wives.) He has
kind, affectionate ma ure-and sew
eral thousand dollars. That also
helps. Then as a browning lure he
promises trips. Adam might have OBJ
iected to leaving the garden Of Eden,
but Eve was secretly glad OF a chance
to see the world.
How to please the ladies has be-
come an exact art and "Bluebeard
it's master.

By John Speckled Crow

St. Paul, Mimi, April 24.-John
Speckled Crow, Shoshone Indian, an
nounced his candidacy for President
while passing through here. His
platform centers in a blanket, safe

for the rest in order to put the
clothing profteers on the blink.
AS to woman's suffrage, Crow
opined that those were happy times,
when "our squaws did the work and
we defended them" He had a lot
more ideas about "paleface wives
who have forgotten to honor and
obey their masters" but Mrs. Crow,
at this juncture, elbowed her way
through the crowd on the corner
and. seizing the noble redman by the
hair. dragged him toward the depot.

ny HUGH DRYDEN.
London. April al am able to
present the opinions of two leading
bankers, one an American and the
other a Britisher. on the presnt rate
of exchange between the two coun-
tries. They attempt to explain the
conditions governing the interna-
tional exchange rate.
Sir John Ferguson. president of
Lloyds' Bank. the largest institution
Of its kind in the world. said:
Bankers and nnancial experts
themselves are not agreed regard
ing the causes which produce the
rate of exchange.
Rate Soon Equnlized.
The rate itself is determined
simply by the question of at what
rate the bankers will exchange.
1T is possible that one bank may
give a different rate than others
but, as all banks are in close touch.
the rate soon becomes equalized.
1T would be possible for the gov
errment to boost up the rate arti-
fcially. but only at a great loss be-
cause to . vast extent trade between
Britain and tho United States would
stop.
SuEgests OIL Buying.
IF America bought England's oil
supply in Mesopotamia that would
go far to restore the balance of
trade. Another means would be for
the United States to employ British
shipping. The pound sterling would
be helped IL the United States
bought British securities. American
business men might open factories
here"
James f. Dunning. an American
banker and head Of the British and
Foreign Mercantile Bank. said:
"A distinguished British publicist
who recently visited the United
States said that II the sterling ex-
change went to $3.50 and stayed
there ten years. it would be the
greatest blessing that could happen
to England.
Predicts Irritating situation.
His remark Is full of truth.
There Is a widespread though mac
curate opinion that the deprecated
pound Is a sign Of financial danger
to Britain.
There is bound to be a great
deal Of talk which will lead to wide
spread international irritation. We
will have to reckon with growing
irritation between Britain and the
United States. which will increase
throughout 1920. reach its highest
point at about the end Of the year.
After which. IL left to itself, it
should begin to subside"
