ITS a mighty fine little printing
plant" said recent visitor at the
Twin City Review, "and from the neat
appearance of the paper and the quail
ity of job printing | notice you are
turning out, there is no doubt but
what the business will continue to
grow and prosper"
1t is reported that business in the
job offices is not as good as 1t was
this time last year. Probably the
starting of four new shops since May

ever, work on the newspapers is UNI

extensive holiday advertising.

Paris.-Ameriea to be sure, has no
monopoly of the tribe OF Get-Rich-
Quick Wallingford. II may not be
that they order this matter better In
France" but at least they do not fall
behind the cutest Yankee. In witness
whereof note the case of Monsieur
Marie Renaud.
From time to time the attention Of
Iaris has been attracted TO man who
projects gigantic financial schemes,
but invariably becomes bankrupt as
soon as he has separated a sufficient
number of easy marks from their mon
ey. Today he has once more come
into conflict with the criminal law
Of the. country.
Man of Profession.
NJ. Renaud is now about seventy
seven years old, and, therefore, may
well be reckoned the dean. the Mes
tor, of his profession in France. II
was after the war of 1901 that he
made his debut in Paris. Though he
stopped on that occasion at small
inn he conceived the grandiose scheme
of conquering Paris. Three years Ia
ter the banker, NJ. Marie Renaud,
owned palace on the Bots de Bou-
logne and conducted bank In partner
ship with mesmerlst who bewitched
the customers.
After couple Of years the firm was
dissolved and Renaud was arrested,
tried and convicted. but on appeal was
acquitted. He then removed to Brus-
sells and founded the Credit Inter
national" which promised its share
holders 500 per cent interest and
which went to smash in 1904. He
was arrested, but again got clear and
then went to London. He was again
as bankrupt with 21,OO0,00O francs
liabilities. Again he got free by means
known only TO himself.

His last-or latest-enterprise was
the foundation of a "National Bank
In 1916. calling himself Rockland.
alias Count Roqueplan. In the course
of his career he has been brought to
trial eight times, has been imprisoned
six times and has annexed ICON
veyed" or otherwise acquired about
40,0O0,000 francs. Withal he today
appears like well-preserved man OF
fifty, elegant In attire and manner,
and everybody In Paris expects that
he Is about to start his ninth blank"

Well, mechanics wages have been
