FINANCE PUZZLE
IN TURK DEFEAT
What Will Happen to Holders
of lis Debt?
"TRIPLE MONEY ALLIANCE,"
France, England and Germany, Having
Poured Millions Into Turkish Loans,
Can Be Relied Upon to Insist Upon
Guarantees of Their Citizens' Invest
ments Position of Ottoman Bank.
In Uie event of tlio defeat of Turkey
the (liinncial consideration will be of
great importance. Writing of the first
steps toward peace negotiations M.
Leroy Beaulicu, a political and finan
cial authority of high repute, puts the
situation thus: "Turkey's appeal will
hardly he considered unless Its gov
ernment accepts as terms of peace its
complete abandonment nf Its European
possessions. Including Constantinople,
and the hour seems near at hand when
it must resign itself to that conces
sion." Whether this prediction is right or
Wrong in regard to the fate of Con
stantinople, it is admittedly correct as
regards at least a partial dlsmemlcr
ment of the empire. Hut that involves
international considerations of another
sort, These other dllllcultlcs concern
Uie Turkish national debt, with its lion
on the taxes in the European domin
ions, the loans guaranteed by other
European revenues in virtue of the de
cree of Mouhnrroni; and, finally, the
future status of the Turkish Imperial
bank, known as the Bnnquc Ottoinnne.
Turkey's Loan Security.
The revenues pledged against Tur
key's various foreign loans consist to
some extent of proceeds of taxes of
provinces outside of Europe, such as
the Egyptian tribute and the grain

A Homely Man's
Romance
By CORA HATHORN SYKES
Mnrt Krebbs was a very homely man.
lie had red hair, was freckled, several
teeth were gone nnd his beard stood
out from his faco like bristles. Krebbs
was fifty-five years old and as unro
mantle a person as could be imagined.
He had been a stage driver all his life.
and now that tho railroads had elbowi
the stagecoach off tho main lines of
travel Mart was handling tho reins 1
the Yellowstone pnrk, driving parties
of visitors there. One day some youn
ladles were occupying the next seat
back of the driver, one pretty miss o
eighteen slttlug beside him. She wa
trying to get Mart's experiences of wll
western life out of him.
"Aro there any romances among these
episodes of yours, Mr. Krebbs?" sh
nsked.
"I don't know what episodes ls," he
replied, "but If by romances you mean
love there's one low story, but that'
the only one so far as 1 knows.
"Do tell It," came from nil the girl
at once. Mart began by sundry instrue
tions to his horses, eased tho coach on
a down grade by putting his foot on
the brake, lvommed several times and
told ills story:
"This park when I was a younker wa
a part of the western wilderness, but
they called it what they call it now
nnd onct in awhile there was a party
vlsltin' it. I'd been drlvln' a coach be
tween Denver and Georgetown, but
had gravitated over yere. Tho TJtc In
dians was yere in them days, and they
was friendly to the whites, but the
friendship of redskins means nothln
doln' between them as n tribe and
the whites. It don't take in small af
fairs
"Waal, one day I was slouchln
around lookln' for a good place where
there was wntcr to stay awhile when
I heered the crack of n rifle. I was
In a holler, and I couldn't see nothln
and I didn't know which direction it
was comin' from, but as there was a
road just beyond tho rise on my right
I kind o' thort there was soraepln goin
on in that direction. I cllm' up part
o' the way and crawled up the rest till
I stuck this ugly mug o' mine I was
almost as ugly then as I am now over
tho ridge.
"What I saw was this: A party of
visitors was rldln' In n three seated
wagon three on a seat nnd three Utes
wns makin' road agents of thclrselvea.
cnlculatin' to do a little civilized plun-
derln'. They had stopped the wagon
by tho shot I had heard, and the party
In the wagon was handin' out their
valuables. There wasn't one of 'em
armed, and they hadn't no business
drlvin' there without perfection. They
had been told there wasn't no danger,
nnd mostly there wa'n't.
"I was only one man with one rifle
though I had plenty of ammunition. 1
uiuu 1 ieei uko inierierin so long as
the redskins acted Christian-like and
didn't do nothln' more'n rob. But when
they'd got all the cash there was In
tne party and found there wasn't
much of It nfter nil one of 'em saw a
mighty purty young gal, and I heard
him ask her to be his squaw. I know'd
Just enough of their lingo to under
stand what lie meant, but none o' them
in the wngon did. The red devil took
hold 0 the gal and pulled her out o'
uie wagon, sue was skeered purty
nigh to death. When they got her in
the road they was takln' her off into
the forest when I calc'lated It was time
to Interfero. I was layin' on my stom-
ick witn my rllle before me, havin' a
perfect aim with a rest. I sent a ball
Into the skull of the red man that was
plnln' for matrimony and dropped him.
"Ills two pals in about one second
had got their eyes on a bit o' smoke
sallln' off from where I was and know'd
where the shot come from, but thov
didn't know who had fired It or how
many there was of me. I didn't give
'em time to make plans. I let fly an
other lump o' lead, though by this time
the two live Indians was makln' for
trees, and I only winged one o' 'em.
The other took the wounded man and
helped him nway. I sent another ball
after 'cm so's to discourage 'em from
comln' back. I waited awhile, reckon.
In' they might, but hcarln' nothln' o'
'em I went down and Joined the party.
"The raskll I killed had most o' the
plunder on him, and that was saved.
But tho principal thing saved was the
gal. When she got it through her
head what I'd done she Jlst wabbled
up to me nnd throwed her arms ubout
my neck nnd collapsed."
"How interesting!" exclaimed the
girl beside the nnrrator. "I thought
we'd get to tho love part after awhile,"
said another. "Do go on!" cried a
third. "Let's have your proposal !"
chirped n little girl uot quite fourteen
years old.
"They wa'n't no rjonosal," Krebbs
continued. "Do youPreckon n young
feller with red hair and freckles would
have tho gall to propose to a young
lady like that? I Jlst handed her over
to her mother, nnd her father, who'd
got his money back from the Indian
I'd shot, handed me n twenty dollar
gold piece. I told him I didn't have
no use for It, livin' wild Uko I was.
and ho put it back into his pocket
Wll stir nil i.hhI.J 1. .I .
They all wanted to do Bompln for me,
but I wouldn't let 'era. But I got into
the wagon with 'em und sor 'em to a
house."
"But tho romance!" exclaimed sev
eral of tho girls.
"0b, that's been with mo ever since.
The gal hadn't nothln' to do with It"
"And you never married hert"
"No, nor nny on ).'
Artificial Halos or "Sun Dogs."
An experiment which Illustrates in n
vory curious mnnner tho actual philos
ophy of tho formation of halos or "sun
dogs" ls performed ns follows: Take 11
solution of nlum nnd spread a few
drops of It over n pane of glass. It
will rendlly crystallize in small, flat
octohedrons, senrccly visible to the eye.
When this pnno of prepared glass Is
held between the observer nnd the sun
or even n candle (with eyes very close
to tho smooth side of the glass) there
will be seen three different but distinct
and beautiful halos, each at a different
dlstnnco from the luminous body.

HUMOR OFTHE DAY
A Close Shave.
A bluo grass judge was sent up to
the Kentucky mountains to try n lot
of murder cases growing out of n
desperate and bloody feud. He took
hlth him ns his olllclnl stenographer a
Jroung man tamed Wllklns, who dress
ed nattily mil, In strong contrast to
the silent mountaineers, did quite a
good deal of talking.
On his first Sunday morning In the
mountain hamlet Wllklns felt the need
of n shave. He had no razor, and there
wns no regular barber in town, but he
learned from the hotelkeeper that
there was an old cobbler a few doors
nway who sometimes shaved tho tran
sients. Wllklns went to look for the cobbler.
In n tiny shop he found nn elderly na
tive with straggly chin whiskers and
a mild blue eve. The old chan cot
out an ancient razor from somewhere,
stropped It deliberately and wns soon
scraping nway. Wllklns felt the de
sire for a little repartee coming over
hi 111.
"This is a mighty lawless country
up here, ain't It?" he began In the way
of opening up some conversation.
"1 don't know," Fnld the old chap
mildly. "Things is purty quiet jlst nt
present."
He paused to put u keener edge on
his blade, then went on with his work.
"Well," said Wllklns, "you can't
deny, I reckon, that you have a lot of
murders In this town?"
"We don't gln'rnlly speak of 'em as
murders," said the old cobbler in n
tone of geutle reproof. "Up here we
calls 'em klllln's."
"I'd call them murders nil right,"
said Wllklns briskly. "If shooting a
man down In cold blood ain't murder
then I don't know a murder when I
see one. thats all. When was the
last man killed, ns you call It, here In
this town?'
"Last week." said the venerable cob
bler.
"Where'bouts wns he killed?" contln
ued Wllklns.
"Hight out yonder in the street in
front of this here shop," stated the old
man, with the air of one desiring to
turn tho conversation. "Bnzor hurt you
much?"
"The razor is all right," said Wll
klns. " hat I want to know Is the
truth about the killing of this last man.
Who killed him?" ho demanded.
The cobbler let tho edge of the razor
linger right over tho Adnm's npple of
the inqulriug stranger for n moment
"I killed him." he said gently.
Thero wns where the conversation
began to languish.

"Gosh, tills New York society ls cold
blooded," declared the man who had

The Making of Cords.
Now that fnncy cords are so much
used why not make your own for less
thnn half tho store price? The number
of threads needed depends on the
thickness of the cord desired. Experi
ment with a short bit will illustrate
this. For a four strand cord measure
Uttlo more than four times the length
desired. Double once, then stand nt one
end of tho room facing nn assistant (at
tho opposite end) and let both twist
tho thread away from you In opposite
directions. Now catch the cord in tho
center, Join the ends evenly nnd release
tho center, which will allow it to curl
Itself into the finished cord, only
smoothing occasionally to prevent
kinks. If the thread ls vory fine or an
unusually heavy cord ls desired the
process may be repeated, twisting the
twisted threads, doubling again and al
lowing tho cord to adjust itself. FaBten
raw ends with a self knot and there
will be no raveling.
