Single Copy Three Cents Gunner Accidently Shot byCompan ion WEST BELMAR BOY IN HOSPITAL WILL RECOVER CHILD IS BAPTIZED Walter Tuzenew is Wrounded When Gun in Hands of His Companion is Discharged. Walter Tuzenew, 19 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Tuzenew of West Belmar, was accidentally shot in the hip last Thursday after- noon by a companion, Edgar Hart, while the young men were hunting in the woods, in the vicinity of New Bedford. The entire charge of one shell entered the lleshy part of young Tuzenew’s hip at close range, inflicting a wound two inches and a half wide. As soon as the accident occurred Hart shouted for help and his cries were heard by Edgar Bearmore of the Homestead farm, who took the wounded boy in his automobile and rushed him to the Ann May hospital, Spring Lake. The wound bled profusely and when the hospital was reached Tuzenew Water Used Brought from River Jordan by Rev. Jacob Leuppie, a Belmar Pastor. Jean Margaret, daughter of Mr. and and Mrs. William Curchin, Jr., of Red Bank, was baptized at the par- ents’ home last Friday by Rev. Ja- cob Leuppie of Belmar and the water used in performing the rites came from the River Jordan. Rev. Leup- pie was spending the day as the guest j of Mr. and Mrs. Curchin. Last year Rev. Mr. Leuppie spent several months on a pleasure trip through the foreign countries and among the places he visited was Je- rusalem. Securing a bottle there, he visited the exact spot where Christ was baptized in the River Jordan, according to Bible description, and he filled the bottle with water. It was not unsealed until Friday. Rev. Mr. Leuppie officiated at the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Curchin a little over two years ago. Jean Mar- garet, who was baptized, was one year old Monday. Rev. Mr. Leuppie was formerly pastor of the Metho- dist Protestant church at Fair Hav- en. He has accepted the pastorate of a church in Rockland county, New York, and he and hs wife left THE PEOPLE’S FORUM.

All the shot were removed Belmar Saturday to assume charge from the wound and when the oper- of the church, ation was over the attending physi- cians reported that the young man would recover unless blood poison- ing set in.

This constitutes a special branch of engineering and much attention Ex-Mayor John Bingham of Avon, a New York business man, was the speaker last Sunday and he had an exceedingly interesting message. To- gether with his daughter he visittd the Holy Land some time ago, and his description of that visit was vivid and touching. Mr. Bingham said he was glad he had been to Palestine, seen its Jerusalem and desire to secure protection from these ravages by following prece- dents without regard to existing local conditions as in a recent case where three concrete jetties were built between other higher and longer jetties, at a cost of thousands of dollars, without useful results, all of which might have been saved by a little timely consideration. places of interest within the city, At another site where the sea was walked over the road to Bethany, within the boardwalk and a useless and in the Garden of Gethsemane, j but expensive bulkhead had been traveled the road to Jericho and built the owner called in the ser- stood for once on Calvary, hut he j vices of an expert and built a short did not want to go again.

Two years ago Mr. Levinsohn erected a line brick business block at the corner of F street and Tenth avenue which was completed in the sping of 1914. It was alleged that the building was three feet and ten inches over the line on Tenth ave- nue and an injunction was served on Mr. Levinsohn by the borough, the suit being the outcome. The case was first heard in court one year ago and a number of witnesses testified, but before all the evidence had been given the time allotted to the case was consumed and it was put over the tenn. This week sev- eral witnesses will testify. It is claimed that Mr. Levinsohn does not deny that the building sets in the street, but he claims precdents and alleges that the law' has not been enforced in other cases. Attorney Harry R. Cooper of Bel- mar and Judge Foster of Atlantic Highlands represent the borough and Edward Wilson of Red Bank and Attorney Rhome of Asbury Park represent Mr. Levinsohn. TO BUILD FINE RESIDENCE. Taylor, and H. W.

The plans have been prepared by Arch- itect Elmer C. Benner. The building will be of hollow tile and stucco with brick finish, three stories high and 34 feet by fif- ty feet and three inches. The first Uoor will contain dining room, re- ception room, kitchen, etc,, and there will be four bedrooms and two baths on both the second and third lloors. The building will be finished with hardwood. The bedrooms will be finished with hardwood, etaoo be finished in white enamel and the bathrooms in tile. The roof will be of mottled slate. Included with the residence will be a garage and a boathouse, the latter built over the lagoon’s edge. Soangetaha Council, Camp Fire Girls’ held their monthly ceremonial meeting at the home of Miss Bessie Osborne, Tuesday evening. Miss Osborne lias been guardian of the Council for several years and has just resigned for Ihe winter months. Miss Mary Louise Scudder will take her place for the winter. After the candle lighting cere- mony, the president, Miss Helen Tay- lor, presented Miss Scudder with a ceremonial costume, and Camp Fire ring. The Rev. W. E. Ledden gave a short address after which refresh- ments were served. The girls who are members of the Soangetaha Council are: Helen Taylor, Catherine Conover, Kath- aryn Treat, Norma Cooper, Eleanor Donnelly, Ethel Harrison, Alma ■Hoppoek, Jeanette Housel, Hazel Howland, Marion Newman, Norma Seymour, Eva Sonnenberg, Marie Strudwiok. Julia Strong and Eula Leonard. Miss Florence Clayton of West Grove won a diamond medal last Friday night in a temperance ora- torical contest in the First Meth- odist church, Belmar. Her selection was the “Story of Patsy.” The other contestants and their selec- tions were as follows: Helen Batten, “Old Soapy”; Agnes Forsyth, “Con- vict’s Warning”; Eva Jackson, | “Prodigal’s Siloloquy”; H a n n a h Behrens, “College Oil Cans”, and Be- atrice Hancock, “A Terrible Charge”. All were members of the Strong Y. P. B. of Asbury Park and each contestant had previously won silver, gold and grand gold medals. Under the rules governing these contests, one to participate in a dia- mond medal contest must previously have won the other medals and the fact that six members of one organization have qualified for such a contest is probably without paral- lel. In order to secure the required number of contestants it is usual to have the event state-wide. Each contestant Friday night did credit to herself and the organiza- tion which she represented and it has been learned that under the markings of the judges Miss Clayton won by a very narrow margin over one or two of the other speakers. The judges were Miss Cornelia Ber- gen Thompson of Asbury Park; Dr. J. W. Hassler and H. C. Higgins of Belmar. Rev. W. Earl Ledden, pastor of the Methodist church, awarded the med- al and Mrs. E. F. Whittier, president of the Asbury Park W. C. T. U., pre- sented the contestants handsome pins. The speaking was interspersed with musical selections. Miss Emma VanNote sang “The Little Gray Home in Ihe West,” and Godfrey Pretz of Allentown, Pa., rendered four (lute solos. They were “Ber- ceuse” by Godard, “Allegretto Gaz- ioso” by Tours, “Serenade” by Gounod and “Melody in F” by Rubin- stein. A Week’sActivities atAvon-by-tlie-Sea EVENTS WHICH HAVE INTER- ESTED PEOPLE OF THE BORO Writer of Letter Friend of Secretary Tumulty—C. D. Snyder Improves Property. IS FRIEND OF MR. TUMULTY. Dr. James J. McGuire of Trenton, whose letter prompted a statement from Washington bearing upon al- leged outrages against Catholics in Mexico, is a personal friend of Sec- retary Tumulty. They were neigh- bors at Avon-by-the-Sea during the summer and have often discussed the Mexican situation together. Dr. McGuire is a member of the Knights of Columbus and also of a Catholic Club of Trenton. He stated that his letter was prompted by a de- sire to learn the truth regarding the charges he often heard made against Carranza and his followers, and that it was written solely for his own in- formation and personal friends of his. He wras asked that when he re- ceived a reply would he make it pub- lic, and he stated that he would glad- ly do so. C. D. SNYDER IMPROVES STORES. C. D. Snyder, the real estate man, recently divided his store, moving his office to front on Main street. The rear has been remodeled, mak- ing a large, commodious store facing on Sylvania avenue. When asked | the other day if he had a tenant as yet, he answered that he guessed it would not be long before it would be occupied, which means that another business place will be opened in Avon.

The object of the club is to refrain from acquaintanceship with any young lady, or having any associa- tion with the female sex. Violations of the rules are punishable by a fine of $5. It is hardly possible in a brief ar- ticle to lay down principles or to cite precedents but merely to call attention to the state of the art and the resources of the profession that “he who runs may read.” * * ♦ Tuesday, Dec. 7—Christmas Sale by Ladies’ Aid of First Presbyterian church.

Commercial printing of all kinds at Advertiser office. The twenty-second annual meet - ing of the Mizpah Local Union of Christian Endeavor with which the C. E. society of the Presbyterian church is connected, was held at the First Baptist church in Asbury Park Tuesday night. There was a large attendance present and the meeting was a very interesting one, the principal feature of which was an address by Rev. Roby F. Day, I). D. of Inwood, L. I„ whose subject was “The Passion for Souls.” The annual election of officers .resulted in the following being chosen: President, Rev. Charles lEverett, pastor of Belmar Presbyter- ian church; vice-president, Rev. W. A. Atchley, pastor of Asbury Park Baptist church; corresponding sec- retary, Miss Helen O. Parsons of Belmar; treasurer, Miss Louise Gif- ford of Manasquan: recording sec- retary, Fredus White of Asbury Park. Every society in the union was represented with the Como society leading with forty-nine present. Nineteen were present from the Belmar Presbyterian society. FARMERS’ INSTITUTES. The extension division of the New Jersey State Agricultural College is managing the farmers’ institute of the state this year. The following institutes for December in Mon- mouth county are announced: De- cember 9th, Clarksburg; December 10th, Red Bank; December 20th, Mat- awan. The speakers will be men from the various departments of the experi- ment station, leading farmers ni the state, and persons of considerable reputation from without the state. Farmers’ institute meetings render a real service to rural communities, and deserve the hearty support of the farmers. It has been announced that the date for holding the annual New Jersey conference of the Meth- odist Episcopal church has been changed from March 15th to March 8 th. The meeting will be held at the First M. E. church, Asbury Park, with Bishop William A. Quayle pre- siding. Unusual interest attaches to the conference this year as five minis- terial and five lay delegates will be elected at that time to attend the general conference of the church in Saratoga Springs, N. Y., in May, 1916. The district superintendents of the conference will hold a meeting in Ocean Grove next Monday at which the conference appointments of next year will be discussed and the as- signments will be made up at this meeting. While there will be sever- al changes in the New Brunswick district it is not at all probable that any change in the pastorate of the First Methodist church of Belmar will occur as it is the unanimous de- sire of the church that Rev. W. E. Ledden be again returned. This wish was’made known to the pastor at the last quarterly conference of the church and Mr. Ledden expressed his desire to serve the church for [another year. Mrs. William L. Bcand, wife of borough clerk, is doing nicely after a severe attack of tonsillitis. She was confined to her bed several days of last week. It was generally understood or rather it was thought to be, that Avon Council would meet again Mon- day evening at 7.15 o’clock but the Borough Fathers did not put in ap- pearance. William Nevhausen, who has been enjoying a week’s vacation with friends and relatives in New York city and Troy, has returned. His only regret is that vacations don’t come more often. Martin D. Murray, the real estate man, recently purchased a new Hup- mobile of a detachable style which can be converted into a touring car or a limousine. Mr. Murray with his family have enjoyed several trips already. AWARDED MANY PRIZES R. S. Wines of the Seaside Phar- macy is in Trenton this week where he is attending the big show of the Mercer Poultry club and is serving j as assistant superintendent of the ex- i hibition. Mr. Wines has a number of his fine homers on exhibition. I At the eighth annual show of the j Monmouth County Poultry club at Red Bank last week Mr. Wines was awarded a number of prizes on his pigeons. He won four firsts, four seconds, two thirds and two special prizes. Of the latter, one was a prize of one dollar offered by W. H. Pow- ers for best homer and the other $2.50 offered by Peter J. Eichle for best display of homers. Charles Brand of Avon and Belmar was operated on again Saturday by Drs. Angeny of Avon and Newbold of Belmar for pus formations on his hip bone. This is a total of twenty- two operations during the past two years. Mr. Brand is able to hobble about again with the aid of crutches. A gentleman who was walking down Main street the other night, passing the fire house, he stopped a man as he passed and exclaimed “Why I did not know that Avon boasted of a jewelry store!” “Aw, dat ain’t no jewelry store,” said the pian, “dat’s de Active Fire Co’s, old chemical engine, (ley’s just shined ■ it up a bit.” The gentleman begged his pardon md wended his way on toward Bradle\ Beach. The Avon Baptist church had “Pay Up” day Sunday and many who were in arrears on the pledges contributed the amounts due so that a goodly sum was added to the church fund, i During the afternoon organized teams made a canvass among the ; members of the church in an endeav- jor to secure pledges of future con- tributions for church and missionary ! enterprises and met with very grat- ifying success.

CHAPTER XXVII.
Chicken, o r S teak?On th e ou tb reak of a bygone rude
ness betw een th e U nited S ta te s and Spain, one free and en tire ly uncurbed m etropo litan paper, unab le to adequately express its v io len t emotions on the subjec t, u tilized its whole fron t page w ith th e one word “W ar!” p rin ted in red ink.
Now, however, th e free and en tire ly uncurbed , having risen m ost gloriously in th e p a st to every emergency, no m a tte r how g rea t, positively floundered in tb e very w ealth of its oppor- 1 tun itie s. One b rillian t head w riter, I a f te r try ing in vain to combine th e d iverse elem en ts of th is uncom fortab ly huge sensation , landed on th e sin gle word “Yow!” and w ent out, in a daze, for a drink. One paper landed on th e F rancc-G erm an w ar as th e lead ing th rill in th is cverrich combina tion of news, one took up the greed of Allison, one fea tu red th e world monopoly, one th e assu red downfall of England, and one th e general absorp tion of every th ing by th e , cereal tru s t.
Satu rday nigh t, however, saw no la te ex tras. T he “s to ry” was too big to touch w ithou t som eth ing more tan-
“Well, baron, the In te rna tio na l T ran spo rta tion company has confessed. Could you give m e a few words on the sub jec t?”
The baron, who had been about to d rink a ste in of beer, s e t down his half l i te r and s ta red a t th e young man blankly. H is face tu rned slow ly yellow, and he rose.
“L ass bleiben,” th e baron ordered th e handy persons who w ere about to remove th e cheerful advertising rep re sen ta tiv e and in ca rce ra te him for life, and then th e baron walked sto lidly ou t c f th e cafe, and rode home, and w ro te for an hou r or so, and a te a heavy ea rly b reakfast, and re tu rned to h is study, and obligingly sho t h im self.
This was a t seven a. m., B erlin tim e, which was two a. m. in New York; and ow ing to th e nervousness of an old woman servan t, th e news reached New York a t th ree a. m., and th e big wheels began to go around.
W here was Edw ard E. A llison? T here was noth ing th e free and en tire ly uncurbed w anted to know so much as th a t ; bu t th e f. and e. u. was doomed to disappoin tm en t in th a t one desire of its heart. E ven as he had stum bled down the steps of the S argen t house, Allison was aw are of th e hideous th ing he had done; aw are, too, th a t J im Sargen t was as vio len t as good-natured m en a re a p t to be. This thought, i t m ust be said in ju s tice tog ible th an tlie word of even so sub
s tan tia l a m an ias Gerald F es lan d , and | Allison, cam e la s t and w en t awayfirst. I t w as from h im self th a t helong before any of th e tw elve eager
young gentlem en had reached th e office, th e scou t brigade, hundreds strong , w ere sniffing over every tra il and yelping over every scen t.
They traced th e v isiting diplom ats from the tim e they had stepped down ptheir respec tive gangplanks to the Ifime they walked up them again. They w ere unable to locate Joseph G. C lark, the only m ultim illionaire in Am erica able to craw l in a hole and pull th e hole in a f te r n im ; Robert E. Taylor, who never perm itted anybody I bu t a personal friend to speak to nim from d inner tim e on, and Edward E. A llison, of whom th e re had been no tra c e since noon. They m igh t ju s t as well no t have found th e o thers , for n e ith e r Chisholm no r H averm an nor G randin no r Vance could be induced to m ake any adm issions, be trapped in to a yes o r no, or g run t in the wrong place. They had grown up w ith th e a r t of in terview ing , and had kep t one lap ahead of it, in obedience to n a tu re ’s first 'law, which, as every schoolboy knows, though older people may have fo rgotten it, is th e law of self- preserva tion .
U n til th ree o’clock in the morning every new spaper office in New York was a scene of vio lent gloom. The w orld ’s b iggest sensation was in those offices, and they couldn’t touch it w ith a pa ir of tongs! The d e te rren t was th a t the in te re s ts involved were so large th a t one m ight as well s it on a keg of gunpowder and ligh t it, as to m ake th e s ligh tes t error. The gentlem en m entioned as th e organizers of th e In te rna tio na l T ranspo rta tion company collectively owned about all the money and all the power and all th e law in th e gloriously independent U n ited S ta te s of Am erica; and if they g o t to g e th e r on any one subject, such a s th e squashing of a newspaper, for Instance, som eth ing calm and im pressive was likely to happen. On the o th e r hand, il th e in te re s tin g storyth e free and en tire ly uncurbed had in i t s possession w ere true , the squashing would be reversed , and the free- nefes and en tire ly uncurbedness would he s till more firm ly seated th an ever, ■which is th e palladium of our national lib e rtie s ; and heaven be good to us.
Towards morning th e re was an arm y of new spaper men so worried and distressed , and generally consumed w ith j th e mad passion of re s tra in t, th a t 1 th e re was scarce ly a fingernail le f t in j th e profession, and frightened-eyed copy boys hid behind doors. Suddenly a dozen te leg raph operators, in j as many offices, jum ped from th e ir desks, a s if they had been touched a t
tr ied to run away, when he sho t his runabou t up th rough th e pa rk and in to th e no rth country, and, by devious roads, to a place which had come to him as if by in sp ira tion ; th e W illow club, which was only open in th e sum mertim e, and employed a feeble old ca re tak e r in th e w in ter. To th is haven,

bleak and cold as his own numbed soul, Allison drove in m echanical firmness, and walked around to the kitchen , w here he found old Peabody sm oking a corncob pipe, and labo riously mending a pa ir of breeches.
“Why, howdy, Mr. A llison?” greeted Peabody, rising , and shoving up his spectacles. “I t ’s a trr»it to see anybody these days. I a in ’t had a v isito r for nigh on to a month. T here a in ’t any provisions in the house, bu t if you’d like any th ing I can run o \e r to th e village and ge t it. I got a jug of my own, if you’d like a little sn ifter. How’s th ings in th e c ity ?” and still ram bling on w ith unansw ered questions and m iscellaneous offers ailtr club grounds inform ation he po ttered to th e co rner cupbeNrd and produced h is jug, and poured ou t a g lass of whisky.
‘Than!#'.,” said Allison, and drank th e sam e in s ta n t by a powerful cur- Iffiuor mechanically. He was shud- re n t from th e ir in s trum en ts , and shout- ‘ dering w ith th e cold, but he had not ed vary ing phrases, a composite of n°Uced it un til now. He glanced which would be n e a re s t expressed by: a r°nnd th e room slowly and curiously ,.
“L e t ’e r g o !” , a s ^ he had not seen i t before. “IIt had been e igh t o ’clock in th e eve- th ink 1 11 stay out he re overn igh t,” he |
B ing in New York when Gerald Fos- told Peabody. “I’ll occupy th e office.! land had first given ou t h is informa- ^ anY°ne rings th e phone, don’t an-j tion , and a t th a t m oment i t was 1 a. m. sw er-in Berlin. A t 3 a. m., B erlin tim e, ! “Yes s lr>” replied Peabody. “Tell! which was 10 p. in. in New York, th e You w hat I ’ll do, Mr. Allison. I 'll muf.j B aron von S lachten , who had been de- fle th e hell. I guess I b e tte r ligh t aj ta ined by an unusual s tre ss of diplo- ^ re th e office.”
I “Anything you like,” and Allison w ent tow ards th e office. A t the door
m atic business stro lled to his favo rite cafe. A t 3:05 th e Banon von Slachten became th e m ost though t about man in h is city, bu t th e m etropolitan T ress of B erlin is s ligh tly fe tte red and more or less curbed, and th e re a re ce rta in form alities to be observed. I t is probable, there fo re , th a t the baron m ight have gone about his peaceful way for two or th ree days, had no t a fool American, in th e advertising b ranch of one of th e New York papers, in an en tire ignorance of decen t form alities, walked s tra ig h t ou t U n ter den Linden, to Baron von S lacb ten ’s
he turned . “You’ll understand , P eabody, th a t I have come here to be | quiet. I w ish to be en tire ly alone w ith certa in im portan t m a tte rs which! I m ust decide. If anybody should happen to drop in, ge t rid of him. Do n o t : say th a t I am here or have been here .” I
"Yes s ir,” rep lied Peabody. “I know; how it is th a t away. I w an t to be by, myself, often."
Allison w ent in to th e office and closed th e door a f te r him. I t was damp and chill in there , bu t he did not j
favo rite cafe, and, p ick ing ou t th e notice it. He s a t down in th e swivel baron a t a tab le w ith four bushy- ch a ir behind th e flat top desk and faced friends, made th is cheerfu l re- re s ted his chin in h is hands, and m ark , in th e m anner and custom of s ta red out of the window a t the bleak jo u rn a lis ts in his na tive la n d : and d rea ry landscape. Ju s t w ith in his
rang e of vision was a lonely little creek, shadowed by a mournful drooping willow which had given th e club its name, and in th e w in try breeze it waved its long tend rils aga in st the leaden g ray sky. Allison fixed h is eyes on th a t oddly beckoning tre e and stro ve to th ink . Old Peabody came po tte ring in, and w ith m any a clang and c la tte r builded a fire In th e capa-
| cious Dutch stove; w ith a longing glance a t Allison, for he was starved
I w ith th e hunger of talk , he w en t out again.
A t dusk he once m ore opened the door. Allison had no t moved. He still s a t w ith his ch in in his hands, looking out a t th a t w eird ly waving willow. Old Peabody though t th a t he m ust be asleep, un til he tip toed up a t th e side. A llison’s g ray eyes, unb linking, w ere s ta ring s tra ig h t ahead, w ith no expression in them . I t was as if they had tu rned to glass.
“Excuse me, Mr. Allison. Chicken o r steak? I got ’em both, one for suppe r and one fo r b reak fas t.”
Allison tu rned slowly, p a rt way tow ards Peabody; no t en tire ly .
“Chicken o r s teak ?” repeated P eabody.”
“Eh? Yes. Oh, yes. Yes. The ch icken .” :
The fire had gone out. Peabody re bu ilt it. He came in an hou r la te r,' and studied th e silen t m an a t the desk fo r a long m inute, and then he decided, an im portan t question £cr hi i-elf. He brought in A llison’s dinner on a tray i and se t i t on a co rner of the desk.
A t eleven Peabody came in again, to see if Allison w ere not ready to go to bed; bu t A llison sen t him away as soon as he had fixed th e fire. The tray was untouched, and out th e re in the dim moonlight, which peered now and th en th rough th e shifting clouds, the long-armed willow beckoned and beckoned.
Morning came, cold and g ray and: damp as the n igh t had been. Allison had fa llen asleep tow ards the daw n / s ittin g a t h is desk w ith his heavy head on his arm s, and no t even th e : c la tte r of th e building of th e fire roused him. A t seven when Peabody came, Allison rose up w ith a s ta r t a t th e opening of th e door, bu t before he glanced a t Peabody, he looked out of th e window a t the willow.
“Good-moming,” said Peabody, w ith a cheerfu lness which sounded oddly in th a t dim, bare room. “I brought you th e paper, and some fresh eggs. There was a little touch of frost th is morning, but i t w ent away about tim e for sun-up. How will you have your eggs? Fried, I suppose, a fte r the steak . Seems like you don 't have much appetite ,” and he scrutin ized th e untouched tray w ith m ingled reg re t and resen tm en t. Since Allison paid no a tten tion to him, h e decided on eggs fried a fte r th e s teak , and s ta rted , fo r the door.
A llison had picked up th e paper m echanically. I t had tain w ith th e top p a rt downwards, hu t h is own p ic tu re was in th e cen ter. H e ^um ed th e pape r over, so th a t he could see the headlines.
“Peabody !” No longer the dead tones of a m an in a m en tal stupor, a m an who cannot think, bu t in the sharp tones of a man who can feel.
“Yes, s ir.” Sharp and crisp, like th e snap of a whip. Allison had scared i t out of him.
“Den’t come in again un til 1 call you.”
“Yes, s ir.” Grieved th is time. Darn it, w asn ’t he doing his best for the man!
So i t had come; th e tim e when his will w as no t God! A god should be omnipotent, impregnable, unassailable, absolu te. He was surp rised a t th e ca lm ness w ith which he took th is blow. I t was th e very bigness of the h u r t which le ft i t so little painful. A man w ith his leg sho t off suffers not otte-tenth so much as a man who tea rs h is fingernail to th e quick- Moreover, th e re was th a t o the r big ho rro r which had le ft him stupefied and numb. He had no t known th a t in h is ru th lessness th e re was any place for remorse, o r for te rro r of h im self a t any th ing h&irfight choose to do. But th e re was. He en te red into no rav ings now, no writMngs, no outcries. He realized calm ly and clearly ail he had done, and all which had happened to nim in rfJtribution. He saw the downfall of his stupendous schem e of worldwide conquest. He saw his fortune, to the la s t penny, sw«pt away, for he had invested all th a t he could ra ise on his secu rities and his business and his prospects, in the prelim inary expenses «f th e In te rna tio na l T ransporta tion company, bearing th is portion of th e financial burden him self, as p a rt of th e plan by which he m ean t to obtain ultim ate contro l and command of the trem enSous consolidation, and become the king among kings, w ith th e whole world in his imperious grasp , a sway la rge r th an th a t of any po ten ta te who had ever sa t upon a throne, la rge r th an th e sway of all th e m onarchs of ea rth pu t together, as large te r re s tr ially as th e sway cf God him self! All these he saw crumbled away, fallen down arcund him, a w reck so comp le te th a t no sh red o r sp lin te r of it was worth the picking up; saw him se lf disgraced and discred ited, hated and ridiculed th roughou t th e length and b read th and circum ference of the very ea rth he had m ean t to ru le ; saw h im self discarded by the stro ng men whom he had inveigled in to th is fu tile scheme and saw him self forced in to commercial death as wolves rend and devour a crippled m em ber of th e ir pack; last, he saw him self loathed in the one pure b rea st he had sough t to make his own; and th a t was th e deepe s t h u r t of a ll; fo r now, in th e b righ t .blaze of his own conflagration, he saw th a t, beneath h is grossness, he had loved her, a f te r all, loved he r w ith a love which, if he had shorn i t of its dross, m ight perhaps have won her.

HERE IS A REALDETECTIVE STORY
Bold Counterfeiting Case Furn ishes Example of Modern S leu th s’
“Simple” Methods.K ansas City, Mo.—That the Govern
m en t’s secre t service men often move in m ysterious ways th e ir wondrous work to perform was dem onstrated here a day or two ago in a counterfe iting case supplied by a bogus bankno te producer whose clever work and whose w hereabouts were shrouded in a dense cloud of m ystery . And yet, all th ings a re simple and quite compre-
1 liensible “when one knows how,” as ! the m aste r m agician te lls us when he I condescends to expose a seem ingly un : explainab le b it of legerdemain . Habit- i ual crim inals have th e ir 'fa v o r ite
methods of dodging th e law, but so, in many cases, have the sec re t service m en th e ir own peculiar methods of entrapp ing and bring ing offenders to the bar of justice, as the following facts well hear out:T iro weeks ago, one of the local banks caught during the day a counterfeit SI I) bill. I t w as such a clever count^u'KdL it \vould ’pass anybody hut
! an expert. The nex t day ten or fifteen more of the bad bills were found in the city.
F red N. T a te of the secre t service was notified. T ha t same day reports
! came from St. Joseph, Omaha and S..Louis of the appearance of the counter
[. feit bill. I t was such a clever imita- ] tion of the genuine currency, the bills ; had passed in g rea t num ber un til o 1 w arning was sen t out to watch for I them .
Then th e Government’s m achinery to p ro tec t its currency began to work. But there was no th ing m ysterious about its working—to one on the “in side.” In the office of the secre t ser- rice here, Mr. T ate sa t all afternoon smoking and looking a t specim ens cf counterfeit currency. Huge clouds of smoke rose from his pipe. T ha t kept
j up all day. The reader of detective tales who believes the secre t service works in a “Hawksliaw” way would have been d istinctly disappointed. But a t la s t the pipe dropped from the lips of the man s ittin g a t the desk in the F ederal building. From the pile of greenbacks in fron t of him he took up
I two bills and compared them carefully. Then he studied them again, noting every little curve and characte ris tic mark. He stepped to , the telephone and called th e United S ta tes prison at Leavenworth.
“W as Jam es Ward, qlias S tew art, alias Nolan, in prison?”.he asked, in a quiet tone of voice.
No. Jam es of the th ree a liases had been re leased in June. Then te le gram s w ent cu t to ce rta in officers in ce rta in cities. How they located him, th a t p a rt th e Government keeps as a secret. Suffice it to s ta te th a t the coun terfe iter was a rres ted a t Springfield, 111., and his outfit for ra is ing bills was found w ith him.
A telegram from W ashington came to th e local sec re t service office a little while la te r:
"Good work. C ongratu lations.”And so ano ther coun te rfe ite r was
caught and pu t out of business. How was it done? Simple enough—as has been said—if you belong to th e secre t service. Every coun terfe ite r has some distinguish ing ch arac te ris tic in his work—some little curve or break in a line th a t gives him away. The secre t serv ice ag en t compared the new coun
I te rfe it w ith dozens of old counterfeits. A t la s t he found the te llta le d istingu ish ing ch aracte ris tic . And tlie re s t was easy.
Jam es of the th ree aliases and a counterfeiting device Lad served th ree term s before. So th e re were plenty of samples.

Philadelphia, Pa.—Alfred M. Collins, a big game hun te r, of th is city, said recen tly th a t in th e ra is ing of reindeer in A laska lies a possible weapon for fighting th e beef tru s t. He spoke a t a sm oker of the Ph iladelph ia Alumni Society of the U niversity of P ennsy lvania Medical School, he ld in the Bourse.
Mr. Collins declared th a t the 1,300 reindeer taken to A laska from Siberia a few years ago by the United S ta tes Government, had multiplied into 30,- 000, and there is no reason why they should not increase to m illions in a short time, as the clim ate and vegetation of A laska are particu larly favorable to them .
He urged th a t some action be taken by the Government to preserve the walrus in the w ater of the Arctic. The Eskimos, he said, depend to a large ex ten t on the w alrus for food, and in late years th e num bers of th is an im al have been so depleted by hun ters th a t the Eskimos in many sections of Alaska are facing starvation .
Mr. Collins deplored the fac t th a t m issionaries had taugh t th e Indians in Alaska to build and live in log huts, which, in th e w in ter, are made v ir tu ally a irtigh t, so th a t the in te rio r is stifling. This, he said, had caused the rap id spread of tuberculosis, and as a re su lt tbe Ind ians are fa s t dying off. When they lived in ten ts , he said, they were a healthy race.

The dropping of fiction from th e public lib raries , as proposed by th e h ead of th e bureau of s ta tis tic s and investig a tion as a m eans of economy, would accomplish a t a s troke a consum m ation long devoutly w ished by many. T ha t is, it would m ate ria lly reduce th e pe rcen tage of novels read a s com pared w ith th a t of o the r books. Perhaps Mr. M cIntyre has heard th a t fiction was decreasing in popularity , and th ink s th a t he is m ere ly align ing h im self w ith a grow ing tendency. We fear, however, th a t when he hears from th e people he w ill have to re v ise h is ideas. H is proposal will be m et w ith a counter-proposal. Banish fiction? W hy no t banish all o ther li te ra tu re in stead? Would th e saving no t be as g rea t? Nay, would it no t be g rea te r?

The recen t ag ita tion rega rd ing th e proposed rebu ild ing of th a t p a rt of Hankow , China, destroyed during the revolution, has developed in to plans which m ay m ake th e c ity a tr iangu la r island, and to r th is an English company offered (in July, 1914) to fu rn ish $50,000,000 a t th e close o t th e war then pending.
Comm issioner Yan Tu has drawn up a com prehensive p lan o t improvement. One p re lim inary survey and one m inute survey have been made, and all p rep ara tion s for laying ou t th e sites, d igg ing tb e new canal and construc ting th e riv e r bridges a re being ac tively pushed on.
The best p a rt of th e c ity is now a s trip of land along tb e r iv e r Yangtze, and th is has been tu rn ed in to concessions, so th a t no th ing can be done in regard to it.
N ext in im portance is th e land betw een th e riv e r an d th e old m arke t place, which is th e only a re a on which developm ents can be made. As th e lower end of th e m arke t p lace is connected w ith th e concessions,, no ex tension can be m ade on th a t side.
A t tb e re a r is a shallow lake,, and w ithout g rea t effort It cannot b e tu rned in to a m arket.
A comprehensive rev iew of th e situa tion which recen tly appeared in th e Chinese National G azette has m e t w ith w idespread approval. I t says: “T h e strip of land behind: th e concessions and the s ite of th e lak e a re a ll d is tan t from th e river, hence tra n s po rta tion is difficult. C hinese comm erce should ex tend and expand, and o the r undertak ings m ust be effected.
“Those in charge of th e p ro jec t now in tend to open a canal, beginning a t th e upper p a rt of th e H an river, ex tending along th e re a r of th e concessions and jo in ing th e Yangtze river. T hus Hankow will be a tr iangu la r island.
“On every side of it vessels will be ab le to ca st anchor, and th e developm ent of indu stries and comm erce will go forw ard by leaps and bounds.”

of psychic m iserab les, th en surely John Bunyan of Bedford ja il tak e s ran k as th e k ing of hypochondriacs,” w rite s Dr. Howard D. K ing of New O rleans in th e New York Medical Journal. Doctor K ing analyzes Bun- y an ’s “P ilg rim ’s P rog ress ’ and calls his “Grace Abounding Unto th e Chief of S inners,” th e m ost vivid p ic tu re ex tan t of a hypochondriac.
A fte r quoting Bunyan’s words, “I beheld th e condition of th e dog and th e toad and counted th e e s ta te of every th ing th a t God had m ade for be tte r th an th is dreadfu l s ta te of •mine,” he says;
“No norm al indiv idual ever fe lt like th a t; bu t to th e hypochondriac, alone in crea tion , no past, no fu ture , can be so bad as th e p resen t.”
Upho ld s H is C ab ’s Honor.I t cost Jam es A. Ryan $25 to up
hold th e dign ity of th e cab which he drives. Judge Knowles, in th e municipal court, imposed a fine of th a t am ount as pun ishm en t for th e b ea ting Ryan inflicted upon Charles P. Milligan of N in th s tre e t, n e a r Butler, when th e la tte r re fe rred to th e conveyance as a re lic of N oah’s ark.
M illigan, who is an und ertake r, had solicited th e serv ices of R yan ’s cab for a funera l which he had in charge, bu t when th e vehicle appeared he jeered a t its appearance. Ryan re sen ted th e c ritic ism so vigorously th a t th e undertake r caused h is a r re s t for assau lt.—Philadelph ia Record.
W riting of h is recen t adven tu res in th e A rctic tn H a rp er’s Magazine, Donald B. Macm illan te lls of a dram atic m eeting of his sledge team w ith a pack of white wolves.
“I though t we had b e tte r move while we could, so I ordered the m en to pack up th e ir sledges and drive over tc th e battlefield . A fte r going a sh o rt d istance, a yell from Pee-ah- wah-to tu rn ed our a tten tio n tow ard th e south. Could we believe our eyes! I t was like a p ic tu re from one of the old books on trav e l in Siberia. Twelve w h ite wolves w ere leaping over th e snow d irec tly a t us. F iction would have us now fighting for our lives, kn ives betw een tee th and rifles cons ta n tly going. On th e con tra ry , we prayed th a t th ey would no t stop, bu t keep com ing or.. Undoubtedly they would have done so had we been able to contro l our dogs, who w ere now wild w ith excitem ent, whining, yelping and s tra in ing on th e traces. We hou ted and th rea ten ed and lashed w ith th e whip, a t th e same tim e hold ing hack w ith a ll onr s treng th on th e up- s tande rs of th e sledge. T he leader of th e band stopped, surveyed us critically fo r an in s tan t and wheeled, followed by th e others. By th e tim e th a t we could te a r th e covers from the rifles th ey w ere out of range.
“I have no compunction w hatever in shooting a t th ese sneaking cowards of th e an im al world. Axel H eiberg land is in fested w ith them , th e ir tra ck s heing found in term ing ling w ith those of th e muskox and w hite caribou. A m other and he r young a re surrounded, worried to death and to rn in to pieces. During Sverd rup ’s expedition the wolves came in to camp, a tta cked and killed some of th e dogs and la te r, on th e tra il, even a ttacked one of th e men who had no o the r weapon to defend him self w ith than a ski. No an im al in th e North is so enduring, none has such a w ide range and none an easie r ex istence, th e ir food being muskoxen, caribou, A rc tic hare , lemm ings and possibly foxes. T here is also every evidence to believe th a t wolves prey upon seals along th e ice foot.”

The g litte r and g lare of th e exposition has never had a m ore colorful con tra s t th an th is p ic tu re of sturdy, sun-bronzed age in top hoots and khaki. The “tend erfee t” of th e city stood amazed.
Traffic piled up on M arket s tre e t as th e s trange caravan from the d ese rt plodded down th e g rea t business a rtery . Crowds followed. Men cheered. Babies cooed in glee.
“Sell m e th e baby bu rro?” said a Miss Louise Burton.

“I ’ll buy them both ,” said Miss Burton 's s is te r Mabel. “How m uch?”

“Well, th ese ’ere burros a re my only pa ls ,” said Cloud. “Would you value a friend a t less? I ’m s ta r t in ’ a f te r a fo rtune . I ’ll need it when I ge t old.

“Ma’s” Good Example.W e visited a t th e home of a farm er
friend la s t summer, says Farm Life. I t was a ram bling house, bu t every w indow was e ith e r closed or screened. E very door, likew ise, was p ro tected ag a in st th e en trance of insects. There ■was one lonesome fly in th e dining room , and th e housew ife w as a fte r him w ith a sw atte r. T he ch ild ren laughed, and th e fa rm er looked a t h e r w ith an indu lgen t smile.
“Ma won’t re s t till she ge ts him ,” said one of th e girls, and h e r prophecy was a good one. Ma finally landed on Mr. F ly w ith he r weapon. Then she picked up h is lifeless body and carried him to th e stove and crem ated him.
How much more com fortable th a t fam ily is th an in those occasional country hom es where th ey s till shoo th e flies away from th e dinner tab le w ith a sassa fras bush!

O U R Clothing Business is expanding, but more room is out of the question because every other department on the second
floor is experiencing similar growing pains.
There remains but one alternative— to increase the efficiency of our fixtures so that we can carry a much larger stock.
We are going to rebuild this department, but first comes this Rebuilding Sale in which we are to dispose of every Suit and Overcoat, every Hat and Cap, every item of apparel for men and boys in the department.
This stupendous sale begins Saturday, December 4.
