"TNON'T try to put anything over

she'll get you. Give you a ticket and
lay you up in a place where you'd
rather not be. Even cops can't get

they don't pay attention to the

Bishop All Right, but

"The younger generation is limo

"Kreisler, the great violinist, played

the performance and his hostess, to

ear:

Wall street was cornered, bringing a
financial crisis which was felt through
out the country and shaking the conf
dence of the American people in some
of the highest public officials in the
land, a day Of ruin, insanity and
despair
The two outstanding figures in this
story are Jay Gould and Col. James
Fisk, Jr. Gould was strong char
acter, even though not an admirable
one, slone wolf" who is described
as "gifted for silent intrigue and
never to be satisfied except when de-
ceiving every one as to his inten-
tons" Although Fish was no less
ruthless and daring than Gould. he
was at least more likable character.
A recent biography of him under the
appropriate title Of "Jubilee Jim,"
written by Robert Fl. Fuller and pub
/ lished by the Macmillan company,
shows him as picturesque character,
a moral jackdaw with a continual
hunger for the peacock feather of
public consideration" AS a peddIer.
Snowman, Civil war profiteer, specu-
Iator, manipulation of railway stocks,
corrupter of judges, an elusive wit
ness at public investigations where his
posturings and antics tickled the pub
lie fancy nightly, Fisk's life was a
fiamboyant "melodrama of Industrial
anarchy, personal ostentation and pri-
yate luxury"
Fisk had been partner-"as nearly
a partner as any two men could be
when one was Jay Gould"-with
Gould in the famous Erie railroad
manipulations for the undoing Of
Cornelius Vanderbilt and in some of
the political-fnancial schemes of
"Boss'' Tweed. So Gould took him
into his scheme to corner all the gold
in the country. Two problems faced
the conspirators. One was to buy
all the gold in sight, comparatively
simple matter, for there was only
about $20,000,O0O of it in circula.
tion. The other, and the more risky,
was to keep the United States treas
ury, which had $10O,0O0,0OO, from SELL
ing gold while the operation was on
and breaking the corner.
Gould's first step was to seek the
aid Of A. r. Corbin, Wall street
sreculator who had married a sister
of President Grant. When Grant
stopped in New York in June, 1869,
while on the way to the Peace Jubilee
in Boston, he visited at the home of
his brother-in-law where Gould called
upon the President. When Grant con-
tinued On his way to Boston it was

Mr.. Edison. speaking for the movie
tone, paid the following tribute to Lewis
Miller:
He did not believe that recreation
consisted in wasting valuable time in
doing nothing or useless things, but
taught both by precept and example,
that true recreation consisted rather in
a change of useful occupation. To me,
he seemed to be eternally making

Three-Wheeled Trucks.

In the early days Of the automobile
one of the pioneer manufacturers I'M
dertook to Introduce three-wheeled
automobile which had many advan-
tages over one with four wheels. It
was said to be more economical in
maintenanced and operation and much
easier to handle in traffic or wherever
short turns were necessary. The only
objection was the radical change in its
appearance which failed to appeal to
the purchaser so that the idea failed
end the promoter went broke. Three
wheeled trucks are now being intro
duced in London and are likely to be-
come very popular for the very reasons
claimed by the first designer.

eff there ever was a medicine that
deserved all the praise in the world,
then to my way of thinking, Miller's
Herb Extract is the one. Before
I used this great remedy had prac-
tically lived for months on toast,
milk and soup and was forced to
give up my work as could not 60
on any longer. For two months was
not able to do a thing, my stomach
was in a bad fix and everything
ate caused me great pain from gas
and indigestion. At times the
cramps were so bad I could hardly
stand the pain. was also troubled
with constipation, liver seemed to
be out of order and I felt miserable.
I tried various remedies but none
helped me, in fact this medicine
gave me the first real relief I had.
AS I said before, was unable to
work, but as bad as my condition
had seemed, this medicine helped
me from the very first and by the
time had used all of the first bottle
I felt like a different person, in fact,
I went back to work and have not
lost any time on account of sickness
since I began using the Herb Elk
tract. AS for stomach pains and
disorders. well I eat just what
want and do not have one bit OF
trouble from gas or indigestion,
bowels move regular and I have
more pep and energy than ! have
had for years. Miller's Herb Ex-
tract sure put me on my feet IN q
hurry and I cannot praise 1t too
highly. My wife also uses 1t, and
like myself finds it will do all
claimed for it." This statement was

SECOND DEATHNOTE
Bratsberg Inclined to Treat
Warnings as Joke; Demand
Withdrawal From Race

Minot, N. D.. March 22-(R)-A Sec
ond warning that he should withdraw
as a candidate for reelection as pres
ident of the Minot city commission
was contained in an anonymous let
ter received today by President A. J.
II. Bratsberg Of the city board.
The first warning was contained in
q letter received by the mayor Tues
day. In which 1t was declared that if
he valued his life. he would heed the
notice and withdraw from the race.
No signature was attached to either
OF the letters, which were written in
ink.
On the back on the envelope bear
ing today's missive were the initials
1T. K" The letter received today
said:
Again we warn you not to con-
tinue in the race for chief commits
sioner. BY the article in the news
paper YOU seem to think that 1t is
meant to be humorous. It is of a
very serious nature. assure You, and
the sender or senders think it would
be good for your health to obey the
missive"
The mayor is still inclined to regard
the affair as joke. he said today,
and no strenuous efforts are being
made to ascertain who wrote the let
tiers.

Recoenizing him as one of its own

A national salute Of 81 guns will be
fired at sun-up on the day Of the
great war leaders funeral by Ameri-
can military forces throughout the
world. At all military posts, the flag
will stand at half-mast throughout

every half hour until sunset.
No instructions regarding the pro.

President Hoover, whose associations
with Marshal Foch form . vivid part
OF his memories OF the war, will At
tend memorial services which will be
conducted here under the auspices Of
the French embassy, II he finds It
possible to do so, and will be specially
represented If he should not be able
to take part himself. In addition, he
will be personally represented by AM

ing as the representative of the war

France had paid q similar tribute to
