BABY'S GIFT FROM HIS PAPA
Inheritance for Which Mother Did Not
Seem to Bo In Any Great
Degree Thankful.
Richard Harding Davis, at a foot
ball 'garoo In Philadelphia, praised
tho voices of tho young undergrad
uates ohoutlng their weird college
yells.-. - - . . ,
"It malcds me think of n Locust
street bride," said Mr. Davis, smiling.
"She turned to her husband one nlBht
at dinner and remarked:
" 'Mx dear, tho first tlmo I saw you
wbb at Franklin Piold. Your head
was thrown back, your mouth wide
open and your face was very red
you wero yelling your collego yoll."
" 'Yes, I remember,' said the young
man.
" 'And I noticed,' sho continued,
'what a remarkablo volco you had.'
" 'Yes, you spoke of It at tho time,'
eald he. 'But what makos you think
of it now?'
'"Oh, nothing, said tho bride.
'Only I wish tho baby hadn't lnherltod
It. That's all.'"
On tho Senators.
Tho wit of Bishop Both Ward

Dlshop Ward, in company with two
senators, came forth from a Naehvillo
reception the other day and entered a
motor car.
"Ah, bishop," said onoof his com
panions, "you afo not llko your mas

"Yes, and so should 1 be," Bishop
Ward answered, "but there's no such

Only by an Appeal to Arms Against
Greece Can Party Maintain Itself,
and It Needs the Money to
Prosecuto War.
Now York. Sir Ernest Cassol an
rived in New York recently on a mis
sion of such grave importnnco that
lis Isbuo will bo watched not raoroly
with Interest, but with anxiety, in or
ery capital or tho Old World. It is a
mission to tho groat money kings ot
Now York, on the outcome of which
depends tho question of tho peaco ot
Europe. Upon tholr Bhouldors will
rest tho principal burden of responsi
bility in tho mutter.
Turkey is bent upon war with
Greece. Tho now regimo at Constanti
nople Is bolng forced to embark upon
this strugglo, In order to protect itself
from ovorthrow by revolution. Tho
war with Qrccco la vital to its exist
ence. For it Is only by an appeal to
arms, against a foreign foe, that the
Young Turk party, which has boon in
control of affairs on tho shores of the
Uosphorus ever sinco tho deposition
of Sultan Abdul Hamld, can unito un
der ono flag all tho various discordant
elemonts of tho Ottoman empire, each
ou6 of which is either in full insurrec
tion dgainst tho Subllmo Porto, or olse
on the verge of rebellion.
But tho Turks cannot embark upon
n war agnlnst Greece without money.
The latter they do not possess. For-
Ottoman finances nro la a mora par
lous stato today than during tho rotgn
of Sultan Abdul Hamld. In fact, tho
treasury at Stamboul Is empty, and
nowadays military operations aro Im
possible without money.
Turkey has no war treasure. It has
frittered away the funds which it manJ
aged to recover from tho ex-Sultan,
having nothing to show In roturn but
a couplo ot second-hand armored
cruisers whtch Germany sold last
cummor to tho Porto for cash down.
Moreover, tho vast majority of tho
people of tho Ottoman emplro scorn to
have becomo imbued with tho convic
tion that tho downfall ot Abdul
Hamld, tho revival of tho constitu
tion and tho inauguration of forms of
Tho Imperial Ottoman Bank.
government yclept "popular," rollevod
them of all further obligation to pay
taxes and thoy refuso to pay any at
all.
"Heretofore, whenever Turkoy has
stood in need of monoy It has usually
been able to obtain It through tho Im
perial Ottoman Bank at Constanti
nople from tho Fronch monoy market.
But tho Young Turk party found the
Imporial Ottoman Bank blocking tholr
way in every direction, and it was in
order to escape from the domination
of tho concern In question that they
induced Sir Ernest Casscl to found tho
National Bank of Turkoy at Constanti
nople .
Now Sir Ernost, unsuccessful in bor
rowing in Europe tho $60,000,000 tho
Young Turk party wants as a war
fund, is trying to got it in this coun
try. THE CONFEDERACY'S SECRET
