The fact is obvious that the Turks
have dug up some money from some-
where in order to wage their cam-
paign of death and destruction.
From present indications it doesn't
appear that Turkey sutiscribrd to the
League of Nations purposes.

l>i;\TH CLAIMS THE
TOMiiEl) MINERS.
;.v
Whlle the nation had been hoping
and praying that the forty-seven en-
tombed miners in the Argonaut mine
at Jackson, Calif'., would be found
alive, everybody realized that such
was almost without the range of hope.
The nation, therefore, wa§ prepared
for the news that the dead bodies of
the victims had been found. Rescue
work, while tarried on with all the
dispatch at the command of science
and strong and hardened workers,
seemed tragically slow; but it cannot
be charged that the rescuers were not
faithful to their tasks. They proved
to the world, if such proof were need-
ed, that 1 luinan sympathy is not. dead;
that men do not always put out their
strongest efforts in search of gold.
The entombed miners fere ^1« ad
when discovered. The nation's heart
goes out to the bereaved relatives.
The death was a tragedy, indeed, but
in such tragedies tin re is usually some
ameliorating circumstances—-and so it
was with this one. Death was merci-
fully swift. It is heart breaking that
the men had to give up their lives, but
since they had to die 1'rovidence was
kind to them in saving them from the
suffering and anguish and terror that
r
would have come from hunger and
, thirst in the stuffy death dungeons
in which they were entrapped.
WHO IS j'AY IM, THE
FIDDLE,It.'
A HEAL VETERAN NOTED.
The world likes a guy who will stifle
at something even if it is only at the
gentle diversion of chewing of tobac-
co. The Austin gentleman, whose re-
markable record of having disposed
of approximately one small plug per
day for a period of 65 years was re-
cently carried in the Associated l'ress
dispatches, is certainly entitled to be
considered a veteran, if not, indeed,
championship material. A little more
definite information about the size of
the plugs might be illuminating but,
the lack of it detracts nothing from
the record.
In dignifying the extractor of the
joyful juice to a place in print it is es-
sential to differentiate between the
processes of the expert or veteran
ehewer and the amateur performance
of some idlers who sit on the street
corners and make a public display of
their inability to chew tobae<*> ^suc-
cessfully, not to say gracefully. The
real ehewer, who is here considered, is
not offensive. He never splatte rs the
sides of a knot hole in the floor and
he can expectorate against a blowing
wind without endangering his shirt
sleeves. Moralists never point out an
expert for their object lessons but al-
war* pick some amateur who has
never really gotten into the spirit of
the thing.
Some veteran, like the gentleman
at Austin, should revise the- nomen-
clature of tobacco clawing. It, would
remove much of the prejudicial stain
that has been associated with an oth-
erwise legitimate operation. Why not,
for instance, refer to the juice of the
tobacco plant as nicotine crush; the
process as extraction and those who
crush and grind the dry leaves of' the
weed as Nieoti ('pronounced ne-cot'-
te) in honor of the great French dip-
lomat Nicot, who introduced tobacco
into France in 1562 and from whom
the word nicotine is derived?
which God forbid. It will be of more
importance than ever. '
Those guns remind one of a fire ex-
tinguisher In the office. It is nice to
look at, and one feels secure that if a
cigarette drops Into the waste basket,
that extinguisher will probably save
much trouble, but nobody wants to
drop a cigarette Into the basket just
for the sake of using the apparatus.
So*"it is with the guns. It will be a
source of pride to all In this vicinity
that such modern equipment has been
provided by the government. Nahant
will be officially recognized by the
government as the home of Senator
Lodge and the site of a modern coast
defense fort, but the fort will be
much more attractive in its peaceful
beauty than in its more picturesque
action. While nobody believes that
wars are ended for all time, everybody
hopes that there will not be any more
for many years to come. —Lynn item.

A brum I. Elkus, foriner ambassa-
dor to Turkey, raises an interesting
'question-fn connection with tlo phe-
nomena) success of the Turkish dri-.e
toward "Europe. He is thoroughly fa-
miliar with conditions in Asia Minor,
he knows the wealth and resouro of
the Ottoman government, but he is „t
a loss to know where t/x Turks are
getting the,money with which to cany
on thejr campaign, lie is convinced
that the Turks themselves are not
able to finance a successful military
t campaign with any degree of success;
but it Is at once evident that they are
getting money and supplies f.i'on
somewhere.
Mr. Elkus does not attempt to say
where all this is coming from. Per-
haps he do<s not know. Perfiaps if
he did know it would be unwise for
him to disclose the secret to the world
just at this time. But the question he
Mks sounds timely enough, and It
would be a good on« for European
•talesmen to try to answer, Th^y can
find out where the aid Is coming from
If Turkey Is enjoying outside support.
It this aid is being given. Europe cai-
x Old Shadows. .
There is a strange new-old warfare
beginning in Europe that shows how
some of the forgotten shadows of the
Park Ages are creeping back into the
twentieth century. It is a very old
warfare, old when the Middle Ages
were young, of town against country.
On a moonlit night burghers cloaked
in long red cloaks and hooded with
high-peaked, eye-slitted hoods go
forth to raid the peasantry. There are
fights in the wheat fields; running
fights along the darkened lanes. IT it
were not fo* the spitting flashes of
the automatic pistols, it might be the
Europe^ of Castle ami Walled Town
and thatched Hut over again. The
peasant is evading the grain levy. The
burgher fears hunger. It is a warfare
for food; the. Have Nots against the
Haves. Somehow it Seems to bring
tiiose, wolves that howled in German
villages after the Thirty Tears' War
very near to the Germany of the mo-
torless glider and the falling mark.
It has the mediaeval hues, this little
red and black footnote t% the Europe
of today.—Philadelphia Public Ledge.
Tiiose Naliunt Guns.
Two big guns for coast defenses
capable of shooting an 840-pound pro-
jectile 22 miles, have been installed at
Fort Augustus P. Gardner, Nahant.
While there is undoubtedly a sense of
security in the knowledge that these
guns ai'e ready for action with experi-
enced men ready to man them, it must
be the sincere hope of all that the
occasion to use them for their sinister
porpo.se will never arise.
It is generally believed that the
point where these guns are locatert
offers one of the best available for tho,
protection of Boston harbor. This
spot has played an important though
humble part in all tho wars of this
country, and should there be anofher,
I had 4 medium size nales in my
pockit. yestidday and after suppir 1
was taking a wawk with pop and ask-
ing him diffrent questions without
pop ansering on account of him think-
ing to himself about something, and I
took the nales out of jny pockit to sec
if they was still there and one of them
axsidently dropped in bock of pop
and pop quick terned erround and
looked aud stufk his hands in his
pockits, saying, Wat the dooee was
that, did you heer eny money drop,
Benny?
No sir, I sed. Not saying wat I did
heer, and we kepp on waking, pop
saying, I lose more darn money thrpo
holes in my pockits that 1 dont know
enything about. And he started to
feel in all his pockits and jest then
another nale dropped on perpose on
account of hie dropping it, pop say-
ing. Confownd it, lin sure I herd it
that time.
And he started to look all erround,
saying, I dont see enything, its very
funny.
Wich it was, ony pop dident know
wy. and we started to wawk agen, me
feeling sorry I ony had 2 more nales,
and pritti'soon 1 dropped another one,
pop saying, There, did you heer eny
money drop that time?
No sir, 1 sed, and pop sed, Are you
deff or w«,t? and I sed, I bet you *
dime none dropped, do you wunt to
bet, pop? Being a good chance to
make a dime, and pop sed, How can I
bet on something we cant prove? and
I sed, Well If I can prove they was
nales Insted of money do I win the
dime?
Wat? pop sed.
Sir? I sed.
Open that hand, pop sed. ^Ich I
did, and wat was in It but the last nale
and pop made me keep on dropping it
and picking it up for S more blocks,
taking all the fun out of it and giving
me a fearse tired feeling in the back.
Proving blzzniss and plezzure dont
mix.
HOTEL STENOGRAPHER

"It must be rather lonely for you,"
said the Regular Guest, "to be here
in Peacock Alley, where you can see
all these well-dressed women aud all
this gayety and not be a participant.
Every now and then you must wish
you had the opportunity to—"
"Whoa!" said the Hotel Stenog-
rapher, sharply. "I have been look-
ing for this speech for about a week
now, and it really saddens me.
"What you are trying to do is make
me sorry for myself, 'cause when a
working girl begins to get sorry for
herself, some guy is getting the to-
boggan nicely adjusted under her, and
she is due for a slide.
"You have made me sorry for my-
self, Old-Timer, but not in the way
you expected. You have been stop-
ping here in the hotel for three weeks
now, and I have written four or five
letters for you every day, and could
count on you for about one iron man
in tips each 24 hours.
"Now you have sprung this lonely
little girl stuff on me, and I can see
you fading away from this desk from
now on. It ain't that I shall miss you
so much, but I sure feel sorry for
myself, Vause that dollar a day in tips
was useful to me, and—"
"O you misunderstood me," pro-
tested the Regular Guest.
"Did I?" exclaimed the girl. "That's
fine! I thought you were going to sug-
gest a cozy little dinner in a nice quiet
place you know about, but if you were
just going to bring me a nice book, or
a box of candy to while away my lei-
sure hours, I certainly owe you an
apology, and I will make it loo, under
certain conditions."
"What are they?" he asked, eagerly.
"If there ain't no falling off in your
work, and the letters and the tips
keep comhig."
"O!" said the Regular Guest, un-
easily.

ANDREW AND IMOGENE
(By Ro« rulktrsoD)
"Andrew, may I have a California
top for my little car?" asked Iniogene,
in a persuasiv« tone.
"You may. if you can buy it on the
installment plan," said Andrew. "The
way busines#is I cannot pay cash for
anything in the world,
"You see, honey, I never explained
to you before, but that copy of the
Encycopedia Brittaniea we have with
the thin pages and the limp leather
binding was bought on the Installment
plan and the man comes to my office
for 60 cents every Monday morning
and I have to have the money for him.
"Then there is the foot-power piano.
»I always made you think I paid cash
for that, too, but that $500 we paid
we split up in weekly installments of
$5 each and that man comes on Tues-
day and I have to have the money for
him.

"The steering knuckle broke," nni<l he;
"The driver b ilca<i/they »ay his wife

Who made that faulty steering wheel."
It seemed a curious thought, and I
Sat thinking as the cars went by
About the man who made the wheel
And shaped that knu« kle out of steel.
I tried to visualize the •cene—-
The man, the steel and the machine.
Perhaps the workman never saw

Or, seeing it, lie fancied it
Would not affect his work a bit,
And said: "U'h good enough to go,

stallment on the talking machine we
bought a couple of Winters ago, when
we had falling of the brains to the feet
and went jazz mad.
"Thursday I have to pay nine dol-
lars on the little car I gave you for a
wedding anniversary present, and that
too keeps me busy, but believe me in
the present condition of business it is
some job to have nine sure-enough
dollars every Thursday.
"Then there is Friday. I always
save all the money I make on Friday
and put it in an empty tomato can
on my desk and then on the first of
the month I pay your gasoline bill
with that. ,
".So you see, there is nothing left
but Saturday, and if you get anything
else on the installment plan we will
simply have to stop eating for there
will be no money left for the market."
"Why, Andrew you told me a dozen
times that you never bought anything
on the partial payment plan," ^eai-i
linogene, in amazement.
"I never have," said Andrew,
solemnly, "but don't you see if I had
not always been careful in my pur-
chases I would have been in Just the
condition I have described to you and
then what would you do for this
money for new clothes?"
"New clothes," repeated Imogene.
"Did I say I wanted ymoney for

"You certainly did," assuj-ed An-
drew. "You said you wanted $10 for
a new dress and 1 was explaining the
condition of the money market."
"Why, I ... I that is odd," con-
