BEGGARS IN AUTOMOBILES

We are all familiar with the old
adage, IF wishes were horses beg
gars would ride" Well, the up-to-
date beggar goes this one better and
rides in automobiles.
In some parts Of the middle west,
it has been discovered, profession
al beggars band together and travel
from town to town in automobiles.
Arriving in town, they store their
machine in a garage, don their rags
and tatters, and then work from
house to house Having worked their
town, they get their machine and
drive on to the next stop.
The poor we will always have with
us, but 1t not infrequently happens
that the beggar at the door is a
richer man than the man from
whom he asks aims. 1t is our duty
to help the poor, but it is only COM
mon sense to make sure that beg
gar is really in want before Smelling
out the money to him.
A stranger beggar in community
is not to be encouraged.

IMPORTANT STATE
ELECTION TUESDAY
Democratic Nominees Should Re-
ceive Handsome MajoFities In
The Election Tuesday
LET ALL DEMOCRATS DO DUTY

Next Tuesday, November 8, will be
the regular November election day,
when city, county and State officials
will be selected by the voters
Though Paris and Bourbon county
are largely Democratic, it rs very
important that every Democrat
should go to the polls and cast his
or her vote for the nominees of the
party. We owe that much allegi-
ance to our party, and we owe it to
our nominees. The last primary in
this county was a holly contested
one, and never a finer body of men
offered in the county for office than
were before us at that time, yet the
nominees, nearly all of them, re-
cived overwhelming majorities,
thus demonstrating beyond any
doubt that they were the choice or
the party, and that they have the
utmost confidence of their fellow:
countrymen. Now that they have
been nominated it is our duty, as
we'll as a privilege, to rally to their
support when they are pitted against
the common foe the Republican OPP
ponents.
1t is not enough that they merely
receive majority over their oppo-
nents, but they should receive every
Democratic vote in the city and
county. They are competent and
capable of handling the affairs of
| the city and county, and MOST OF
them are men of large experience,
men who have been tried and have
proved their eapabflity.
| Bourbon county in the last cleo
tien went over with large Demo-
cratic majority. Local interest
should even increase that majority.
Not only vote yourself, but speak 20
your neighbors and see that they
all get out and vote and the result
| will be satisfactory.

FRUGALITY DECREED BY LAW
Early French Monarch Must Have
Been Unpopular with the Fair
Sex in His Dominions.

In the reign of Philip the Fair of
France (1294) an economy wave
spread throughout the country. Thls
movement was largely Influenced by
the extravaganza of the higherups as
well as the mounting costs of living
which seemed to embarrass the poor
folk in those days as much as 1t does
at the present time.
In order to curb this extravaganza
a statute was passed during Philips
reign which prohibited common citi-
zens from wearing furs, precious stones
or gold. This privilege was bestowed
only upon those who could afford 1t,
such as dukes, counts and barons,
whose annual income amounted 10
5000 livres a year. At the same time,
ladies of this rank were restricted to
one single gown each year.
Knights whose incomes exceeded
5000 livres per annum were permit
ted to have more than two suits each
year either by gift or purchase. III
his income was less than this he would
be compelled to appear before the
magistrate and explain his extrava-
gance.

JAPAN STIRRED UP BY
GREAT OPIUM SCANDAL
Public Officials and Prominent
Business Men Are Charged
With Illegal Operations.

A hundred million yen opium scan
dal involving the Selyukai party, jap
anese business houses and public
officials is charged by the Nichinichi,
which alleges that large quantities of
the drug have been Illegally handled
In southern Manchuria by the connt-
vance of government officials for the
purpose of enriching their own
pockets.
The allegations are denied by Mr..
Nakano, chief of the civil administra-
tion bureau In Darien.
Millions of yen worth of the drug
has passed through Kwantung during
the last few years, says the Nichinichi,
of which only a small part has been
burned by the government authorities.
That which was burned is alleged to
have been opium of inferior quality,
mixed with other substances before
being destroyed,
Since April, 1915, the sale of opium
has been conducted directly by the
civil administration bureau in Darien,
it is said. The Okuma ministry dis
covered this and forced the profits to
be turned into the governments cof-
fers as temporary miscellaneous rev.
enue the Nichinichi goes on to ex-
plain, but when the Selyukai party
came into power after the Terauchl
ministry, this revenue decreased to a
minimum, the explanation given being
that the decrease was natural because
of the gradual prohibition of the sale
of the drug.
As the revenue continued to dwindle
a rumor originated in Darien and Port
Arthur, says the Nichinichi that local
government officials were conniving
with the Selyukai for the illegal sale
of opium, whereupon the Darien au-
thorities, con the advice of a certain
high Official publicly announced that
the confiscated opium had not been
resold for private gain, but opium to
the value of 100000 yen had been
burned. But charges the Nichinichi,
only a small quantity was destroyed
and the public was deluded.

PREHISTORIC TEETH
QUO Up in a Gravel Pit In Good
Preservation.

Seven perfect teeth, believed to have
been those of a mastodon or of some
other prehistoric animal, have been
dug up in the city gravel pit at Col
orado Springs, Colo, by workmen who
were excavating from one of the lower
portions of the pit.
The teeth, which are in perfect con-
dition, are a little more than five
inches long from root to base and
bear seven perfect rings on the chew
ing surface, which is approximately
one and one-half inches in diameter.
The teeth evidently are from the
fore part of the jaw and include two
tusks and the front teeth or nippers.
Other evidences of large bones were
found but were erumbled and broken
until they could scarcely be distin-
guished. The bones were found in
gravelly, sandy SOIL at depth of APP
proximately 80 feet from the surface.
The teeth will be referred to the au-
thorities at Colorado college for iden-
tification.
