the ground and ''sold out" He took his
fortune Of more than half million dol
lars and started on career of mad
spending" as his friends termed it, He
visited extensively throughout the east
ern sections Of the country, and pioneer
oil men say that while much of his money
was literally thrown AWAY, quite tidy
sum went to the poor and to charitable

Charles B. Schrantz, president emer-
Itus of ST. Charles college, has refused
TO Join in celebration and banquet in

any celebration as long as there are
starving people In Europe"
Father Schrantz said times were
ito bad and too sad for the celebra-

Ireland.
Some Sim Feiners credit the state
ment Of Harry Boland, secretary to DE
Valera, in the United States that De
Valera has landed on Irish soil, saying
that he would not have made such a
statement unless it was true.
Amenahle To Order Act.
1t is stated that there would be no
need to arrest DeValera on the old
charge against him, that Of having es-
capped from jail, as he ceNld be taken
into custody under the restoration of
order in Ireland act. Thcs ground for
the detention of Arthur Griffith, founder
of the Sim Fein organization and Pro-
fessor John MacNeiil, president of the
Sim Fein voters, is the desire Of the
government to ascertain responsibility
for alleged employment Of republican
funds on ambuscades and other opera
tons involving loss of the lives of troops,
and it is said this desire might include
Deyalera as the alleged source of the
funds.
There would be no difficulty in De
Valera remaining hidden here as long as
he chooses as there are many persons
who would give him asylum. The eX-
peetation is that if DeyaIera is in Dub
lin he first will consult his intimates
and then make known his presence and
await arrest.

After the Apples.

A gentleman who some years ago
had occasion to take long journey
through the Caucasus, was accom-
panied by servant and guide, who
told him many stories Of the country
stories of danger and peril in that
bear-frequented forest land. Once,
Stepan, the guide, and a friend OF his
had observed an apple-tree we'll laden
with fruit, some seven or eight versts
from their village in the forest II
stood unclaimed of man, almost the
only relic Of some once prosperous
Tscherkess village Stepan and his
friend arranged to meet at the tree
one morning early, and share the fruit.
When Stepan came near the tree, he
Saw some one already engaged in
throwing the apples down. Thinking
his friend was trying TO steal march
on him, the irate Stepan heaped all
manner OF abuse on him, and at last,
getting no answer, fairly yelled with
rage, and began to throw things into
the tree.
Then the shower Of apples ceased, and
with gruff snort, huge old bear
came tumbling out Of the tree, almost
on top Of the terrified villager. As
usual in such cases, Bruin was quite
as much frightened as the man, and
shambled on as quickly as possible.

friend.

Bootleg Booze Dangerous.

HE Birmingham Age Herald has
sounded warning aga st the use OF
liquors that are now on the market,
emphasizing the fact that il is always
a risk that liquor now offered YOU

aid cites number of instances recent
iy coming under its observation.
Only recently" said the Age Her
aid, "A splendid Birmingham man Of
fered the writer of the editorial drink
OF very fine bottled in-bond' whisky
which he had just bought from a man
who had brought il up from Savannah.
The offer was declined, but the next
day the man who had offered it OPEN

IN half an hour thereafter, though
the best physicians were called in. he

the story, told of an analysis of
whisky which killed strappins big
man of Birmingham whom everyone
liked. This man was not regular
drlnker but friend from northern AL
ALBANIA brought in bottle of moonshine
and persuaded the Birmingham man
TO take a drink. He took two drinks
and he was soon in commissions and was
buried three days later. A friend who
was with him took one drink and he

had it analysed by an expert chemist

deodorized wood alcohol, a deadly

Many other instances are reported
by the Age-Herald which support the
claim that the man who samples pres
