Hungry MilliOnaires

1 ---~-~~~~~-~~~
| MOSCOW-The people of this city are
money poor. 1t is a city of poverty-stricken
| ulti-millionaires.
One hundred American dollars here bring
| four million rubles, and the ruble is still
falling in value. An apple costs 1000 rubles.
| Cab drivers charge 10000 rubles for half
mile ride A dinner of soup, roast beef, po-
| tatoes, pastry and coffee costs $4,000 rubles.
White bread sells for 1000 rubles per pound
and the heavy black bread at 500 rubles. A
shoe shine may be had for 1000 rubles.
Everybody in Moscow would rather have
any sort of manufactured article or food in
stead of money. The bellboy who brought
the correspondent a pot of hot water and
was given tip of a 1,0OO-ruble note, asked
for a lump of sugar in lieu of the money.
what difference does IL maker" said a
leading communist today while laughingly
discussing the decline in the value of the
ruble "It is as easy to print hundred-thou-
sand ruble notes as the ten-thousand ruble
bills. 1t is only a matter of adding a few
more ciphers.'
Three years ago the car ruble, originally
worth SO cents, brought 10 cents. Now even
beggars in the streets scorn anything less
than 500 rubles.
The Soviet, in the throes Of changing back
in a measure to free trade, is battling puz-
zle to students of economics. Highly skilled
mechanics, such automobile experts, get
as much as a million to million and half
rubles monthly in government employment.
The workmen sometimes are paid in factory
products and food allowances. The other per-
quisites are so varied that it is impossible to
arrive at any standard wage. ...

Vet Reunion

The United Confederate Veterans will hold
their annual reunion in Chattanooga during
the last week in October or the first week in
November.
Reports from Savannah, Ca, that the re-
union of the veterans would be held in that
city proved to be unfounded, following
communication from Nathan Bedford For
rest, commander-in-chief of the Sons of Com
federate Veterans, declaring that Chatta-
nooga had been approved for the convention
by Commander Van Zandt, Of the veterans.

More Jobs

Unemployment in France continues TO de-
crease and, as far as the provinces are con-
cerned, the recent crisis appears to have been
completely overcome
The latest figures show that the total mum.
Der of unemployed in France is 47,566, and
out Of that number 31,429 belong to Paris
and the Department Of the Seine, leaving only
1917 unemployed for the rest of France.
Compared with the census figures, the num-
Der of unemployed in France amounts to
only OIL per cent Of the population.

While neither side made an overt

AWARD CAN'T MEND
. HER BROKEN HEART
Divoroee Says $40, 900 Doesn't
Pay Her for Being
Disillusioned
Barred SOUL IN COURTROOM

Pittsburgh, March 17.-Even when
the man "pays and pays and pays,
il isn't worth a woman's while.
This is the opinion Of Mrs. Emma
Snyder, golden haired, violet eyed
young divorcee who was awarded $780,
900 damages by the jury which heard
her breach of promise suit against
Thomas J. Stephens, prominent en-
gineer and the father Of three children.
Mrs. Snyder smiled bitterly yester-
day as she recalled her love affair with
the engineer, and its disastrous ending.
Money cannot pay a woman for the
loss Of her name and her respect, "
she said. Money can't restore a
woman faith In human nature. Money
cannot make up for the ordeal through
which I went-baring my very soul TO
those twelve men and that Judge and
told things on the stand which, two
years ago, wouldn't have told my
mother. I permitted the exhibition OF
those pictures Of myself in negligee-
pictures which we're made because
loved Mr.. Stephens in such a way that
everything he asked Of me was a sacred
duty.
"Do you suppose $50, 900 can pay me
for that? No.

him because ! wanted to hurt him a
little. because he had hurt me as only
man can hurt a woman"

New York, March 17.-The posi-.

No Cherries Without Birds.

OF course, there wouldn't be any
cherries if there were no song birds.
The bird puts the cherries on the tree.
why shouldn't he eat his own cherry?
The farmer only holds a second mort
gage on that cherry. He may think
otherwise and kill the bird; then the
bird won't get the cherry and neither
will the farmer. The worm will get
the cherry; the aphis, the slug, the
mite, the blight, will get the cherry,
and the farmers second mortgage will,
according to John Burroughs, shrink
to nothing.
In other woods, were the millions
of bushels of bugs which the song
birds consume for food in one season

SPOKE out LOUD
Presidential Language Emphatic
in the Extreme.
Under the Circumstances, However, 1t
Will Be Understood, Not Intended
for Publication.

Cleveland was not master OF
scholarly eloQuence, like Wilson, or of
vigorous epigram, like Roosevelt; yet
on occasion he could be fluent and on
occasion witty. OF the two anecdotes
that follow the first shows his fluency
the second his wit.
Mr.. jefferson Winter, namesake OF
the famous actor, Joseph Jefferson,
who was Cleveland's intimate friend
and fellow angler, tells the first story
Gray Gables, the Cleveland home,
and Crows nest, the home of the JEFF
Persons, were not far apart. While Mr..
Winter was visiting at Crows Nest
the men went fishing.
Toward shutdown, he says, we went
from the bass grounds where we had
been fishing to a little lake hidden in
woods, owned by jefferson and stocked
by him with trout There we We're
joined by John G.. Carlisle, Cleve-
lands secretary of the treasury; tall
lank, pale-faced, saturnine. CARRIED in
black, wearing a plug hat and en-
ergetically chewing tobacco-the very
picture of an Old-time country lawyer
Cleveland and jefferson put out upon
the lake in a small boat, while Mr.
Carlisle and l remained on the bank.
Cleveland, as is well known, was an
immense bulk of a mana sort of
colossal Cap'n Cutie, he appeared to
me. He and Jefferson stood in the
boat almost back to back, and while
both were casting at the same mo-
ment they came violently into col
lision, stern on. The result was that
Jefferson plunged overheard on one
SIDE and Cleveland, making a vain eff
fort to seize and save him, lost his
own balance and toppled over on the
other. / have heard some strikingly
original, graphic and vigorous Ian
guage first and last; but I have never
heard anything to equal the impromp-
tn dialogue between those two really
atfectionate crOnies, clinging to Oppo-
site sides Of the half-submerged fiat
boat.
Carlisle observed the aquatic disas-
ter with exemplary calm and listened
to the interlocution with attentive and
manifest admiration. Then he turned
a twinkling eye upon me and blandly
remarked: Most eloquent, but wholly
idle !"
So much for Cleveland's fuency;
now for his wit. Not eloquent, but by
no means idle, was Clevelands brief
answer to telegram that he re-
ceived while visiting at Crows Nest
during the fight for the Democratic
nomination in 1892.
1t was from a senator, himself an
asprant for the presidency, who had
the political audacity, not to speak
Of personal impertinence, to tele-
graph to the leading candidate: "The
time has now come for you in the in
terest Of your party, to withdraw from
this contest" Cleveland showed the
message to his host.
what answer shall you maker" JEFF
ferSon asked.
Without a word Cleveland took the
telegraph blank, turned it over and
wrote the reply on the back and be-
fore giving it to the waiting messenger
handed it again to Jefferson. This
was his message:
Somebody has been taking an I'M
pardonable liberty with your name.
G. Cleveland"
1t was the neatest of rebukes, and
the most impossible to resent

again this year.
Miss Alice Stanley has returned to

Russell Hadlock left Sunday to at

Miss Kathleen Sprague will leave
this week to resume her studies in
the Bar Harbor high school.
The seaplane which has been MAX
ing trips recently from the Stanley
dock at Northeast Harbor, came to
the island one afternoon recently
and created excitement for the in
habitants of the island when she
took passengers from the Wells
wharf and circled around the island
and back again. 1t was small

sides the pilot, but she did quite a
business as long as the wind lasted
She was unable to rise from the
water with the last passenger, Mrs.
Georgia Morse. Several others were
booked for passage when the wind
failed. Among those to had ride
in the flying machine were Ralph
Phippen, Irving Squirting, Clarence

with her parents for short visit.
She WAS accompanied by friend.
The wells in this community are
very low, and many are dry that
never before failed. There was a
slight shower last week, but it hard
ly laid the dust. There has been no
rain since in the early spring to wet
the ground to the depth of two
inches. The outlook for the potato
yield this year is very good. Those
who have begun to dig their crop
find no rot to speak of and the po-
! tatoes are of good size. 1t looked
at one time last spring as if the gar
dens would be a complete failure
on account of cut-worms. Some
people planted peas the third time
before they were able to raise any
at all.

THERE'S DEATH IN THE POT'
A Celebrated London Doctor USED the Above
to Emphasize the Danger Of Overeating.
Worse Than Overeating is Failure
10 Eliminate Waste.

Nature could not devise way to
feed and repair the body without the
production of considerable waste
matter. But Nature provided for
the regular, thorough elimination of
such waste. To disregard her in
tention is to break natural law.
Whether you help Nature by wise
or foolish means is left to your own
Judgment. To simply force bowel
movement is unwise, unnatural and
Ineffective. You can choose harsh,
drastic, violently acting drugs or
take such without caring what their
action or effect IS, or you can select
some old time-proven, trial-tested
remedy, that has been used Cor 70
years or more by thousands of people
all over the world, with the result
that it has won an enviable reputa-
ton as reliable household remedy.
Take Beecham's for example. All
the world knows Beechum's; good
ly part of the world uses Beecham's,
has been using it for years, handing
its use down from father to son,
from mother to daughter, for gen.
GRAFTON after generation, recommend
ing it to others. In spite of such
extensive and general use, who ever
heard complaint or criticism of
Beecham's? That in itself is a
powerful recommendation
Don't take anything for granted.
Reason it out. All druggists sell
Beecham's-are glad to sell them.
Beecham's reputation has been
made by it's users not by it's sellers.
