ing swept the crowd. Had the gov
eminent made any announcement yet?
If so, nobody had heard it. Swiftly
word came that the government had
heard nothing. Immediately a MUIR
muir of uneasiness went up. Then
came-like a soaring flash the an
nouncement that the news of the vic
tory was false
At once from the crowd went up a
roar of pain and fear. Men rushed
hither and thither, like stricken beasts
seeking refuge. AS swift as the mind
realized the meaning of the announce
ment they saw ruination and all that
it meant to them-no home, in rags,
their wives and children crying for
bread.
Soon the crowd, each man mutter-
ing his anguish over to himself, seek
ing a corner where he could reckon
his liabilities, melted away. And a
little while afterwards the clerks were
putting their pens down, thousands of
bonds and shares still lying around.
The Stock Exchange appointed a
committee to inquire into the days
proceedings. 1t found that there had
been news conspiracy, and that
through it the sale Of $5,000,000 of gov
eminent bonds alone had been con.
tracted for. One broker had unloaded
over 100000 of stock in various
companies. By the sales he had made
a profit of $750,000 on the previous
days values.
Yet it was nothing to what others
had lost Thousands had contracted
to buy scrip which had now fallen to
its lowest. Or in many cases was
worthless again.
Through the inquiry, two men, found
guilty of conspiracy to delude the pub
lie and were fined $4,000 and sent
enced to a years Imprisonment. One
of them, Lord Cochrane, England
naval hero, was supposed to have made
out of the affair $4,000, a large sun
for those days.
For years afterwards he was heard
protesting his innocence, and Queer
Victoria restored him his honors. Blu
that was little consolation to the
thousands who we're ruined on tina

CHICAGO, H., Sept. 1.-THE fact
that you do not live on the east
coast of Africa Australia or on islands
IN the southern Pacific ocean relieves
You of the unpleasantness of a dark
day on Sept. 81.
On that date, according to Prof.
Edwin B. Frost, of the University of
Chicago, and director of the Yerkes
observatory, total solar eclipse will
occur over that region.
The moon. coming between the
earth and the sun, viii cast shadow
which will sweep over the southern
sea from a point off the eastern
coast of Africa near the equator. cross

tinent Of Australia and then out to the
southern Pacific ocean, he said.
This trail of the shadow viii be
about lis miles wide The duration
of totaIlity at different points viii
vary from three to six minutes, and
Professor Frost declared this to be
an unusually long eclipse.
To Study Eclipse
Expeditions from various astronom-
ical institutions will be established at
favorable points to study the eclipse
John Evershed, director of the observ-
atory at Kodaikanal, India, will make
his observations from the Maldive

eruptions of flowing gas also may be
seen along the rim of the eclipsed

On Sept. 10, 1923, he said, a total
solar eclipse will touch the coast OF
the United States at Santa Barbara

THE BUBBLE OF AN HOUR


Some bubbles endure so long that
they cease to be a wonder, and be-
come a part of peoples lives; others
break before they are fully blown.
Nor does it depend on the strength
or the will of the blower. With them
too. as with men, Fate decides their
time.
At one o'clock on the morning Of
February 21st, 1914, the landlord OF
the Ship Inn, Dover, awoke to loud
knocking. who's there?" he called
from an upper window.
Lieutenant Colonel de Bourg, aide
de-camp to Lord Cathcart," was the
reply from the darkness, Il carry i'm
portant news. I must have a chaise
and four at once"
Hurriedly the landlord rushed to
the door By the light of the lantern
he saw a tall man in a scarlet uni
form and a dark fur cap. On his
breast were stars and medals, and his
clothes glistened as though wet with
sea spray.
Come, hasten!" he snapped to the
staring landlord. Have you never
before seen a man who has just come
across the English Channel on a night
like this? 1 tell you l must have a
chaise and four at once. Our arms
have achieved a great victory, and
peace will be declared at once"
In a few minutes he was dashing
through the night. Every place the
chaise stopped to change horses, heard
the news. Napoleon has been killed
cut to a thousand pieces" the post
CHI cd
| People passing by took up the cry,
and through the raw morning the news
| travelled-"The war is over" People
who were young when this war started
and were now nearing the grave, sud
denly felt ight-hearted again. INA
! poleon, the tyrant, was dead"
Here, lad, that's for your riding,
| the stranger would call to the post
boys as he moved off again, and a
couple of French gold coins came
through the window.
By nine o'clock the stranger had
reached London. In a few minutes
the whole city was mad with joy. Ban,
ners and pennants floated out every
where, and people rushed up and down
the streets singing and shouting in
almost delirium.
But the news fired one part of the
city with more definite purpose
Soon the Stock Exchange was filled
with the tidings, and the rumors from
the places where de Bourg had
changed horses. Immediately the
prices of all stock began to rise
Brokers came flocking in, anxious t
buy before they rose beyond theil
reach. 1t was Monday, and the few
stocks that were on the market a.
this hour were snapped up, and solo
over and over again.
AS the full meaning of the news was
realized, people rushed to their brok
ers imploring them to buy whateve,

Get-Rich-Q Quick Bubbles That Have Burst
BY HARLEY MATTHEWS
THE BUBBLE OF AN HOUR

around the Stock Exchange were fill
led with people fighting to bid for
stock. Everybody saw himself richer
than an army paymaster, if he could
only buy scrip of some sort. For what
would be its price tomorrow when the
news had travelled through the rest
Of the country.
From the side alleys and their dingy
offices, the jobbers issued with scrip
of companies long since dead and for
gotten. 1t mattered not. In their
frenzy people imagined that what was
worth nothing yesterday would be
worth dollars tomorrow.
Soon London left off its rejoicing to
chase visionary riches. Scrip was
passed from hand to hand, increasing
in value as it travelled.
At noon another chaise containing
three men dressed as army officers
dashed across London bridge. Make
way, we're from Northfleet!" the post
boy shouted to the crowds. THE war
is over"
The horses necks were wreathed
with garlands of laurel and from the
window of the chaise the men threw
to the crowd pieces of paper, on which
was written: Napoleon is dead. The
Allies are in Paris
Up Fleet street and towards the
bank of England they went, the crowds
cheering their progress. Then they
dashed down side street and nobody
seems to have heard any more of
! them.
Nobody had any further interest in
then in any case-for the time. Every
body in London now felt nn1v Ona i'm
pulse, and that was to buy stocks.
The news of the end of the war had
come and it had been confirmed.
| Even the doubters of the morning
were satisfied now. They rushed in
to buy frenZiedly what their caution
had let slip before.
Soon the government bonds which
had been depressing owing to Napol-
cons success, rose to a dizzy height.
| People contracted to buy stocks, who
had scarcely a penny in the world, con-
WINGED that they would be able to pay
for all in the morning, and reap a
large profit.
Though it was an off-day the pens
of the clerks of the Bank of England
and Of the various companies, were
rushing as never before in registering
transfers that poured in on them. On
the desks and the floors scrip lay feet
deep, so anxious We're the people to
get their transfers through and to be
able to sell again as the market rose.
The night came down. Still the
press of people around the Stock Elk
change, the shouts of bids, and still
the pens of the clerks driving on.
Then almost suddenly, another feel.

HAYNES DOESN'T FEAR
HOSTILE WET FORCES

WINONA LAKE, Ind, Sept. q
Little is to be feared from those who
are positively hostile to law-enforce-
ment," said Federal Prohibition Com
missioner r. A. Haynes in an address
before the International Conference of
Disciples here this morning.
Continuing, he said: Surely no
thoughtful, patriotic citizen in his
club, in his home, restaurant or hotel
will violate the prohibition law. If he
does, he thus sets an example before
those about him, many times en-
ployes, which only encourages further
violations. When men of standing and
responsibility do those things which
they know to be in defiance of the
law and the constitution there can be
no other result. Happily, many of this
classification are beginning to see this
matter in a new light as reports com
ing to me from many quarters indicate
a great change in social customs along
this line among this class of our citi-
zens.
Those who have stood, and now
stand, for strict enforcement of the
laws of the land have never had great
er cause for standing together in the
support of all law-enforcement agen-
cies than at the present time, and in
order that the objects of the founders,
the hope of the world and the general
good of the people may obtain, every
peace1oying man or woman in this
country should lend such support.
Every American citizen has enter
ed into a contract with the govern.
ment of which he is a part, to observe
all the laws and to contribute to the
best of his ability to the support of the
fundamentals of the government. II
there should be a general disregard oil
the sacredness of such contract, moth
ing but anarchy could result

ARE
POPULAR At
CONVENTION

Mexico was put on the map for var
ious reasons at the recent Rotary
Club convention which was held in
Muskogee, Okla, but the industrial
and economic advantages count for
nothing with a number of Oklahoma
girls as compared to the fact that it
is the home of Missouri Military
Academy.
The large delegation of Mexico Ro-
tarians were accompanied on the trip
by an orchestra of M. M. A. students
composed of Cadets Downs, Knoch,
Morris, Weber and Sanders. While
in Muskogee DR.. S. ]. Vaughn of
Hardin College made a talk in the
Muskogee High School and the cadets
gave some musical numbers.
The following clipping from the
Muskogee High School paper has
been received by Cadet Dee Downs
from one of the High School girls.
"Have you heard from Mexico
YETI"
"No, but Nowata has written
twice."
"The Rotary Club convention is
the cause of it all. If only they
hadn't brought those bands with them
everything would have been all right,
but who could resist a uniform?
"Now that it's all over all the girls
are proudly displaying letters from
the young musicians and relating all
of their experiences.
Although Independence had the
largest band, only n girl has been
able to boast or receiving a letter
from there.
"Nowata and Okmulgee have the
mails in a turmoil and Supulpa runs
a close second. Missouri Military
Academy at Mexico, Mo-, has sent a
few cherished letters (Mostly special
delivery and Hardin College, also at
Mexico, is due for a large enrolment

who were not lucky enough to attend
the Mardi Gras, was pitiful but some
one mentioned the DeMolay conven-
ton and all renewed their thenthus-
iasm.
