Money Conscripted?
Mot ) et.
One Dreadful Foreigner.
If hen Is a Man Old?
By ARTHUR BRISBANE .
Mr. Baruch says that, in tha next
war money as well as men must be
conscripted. When young men are
marched away to be shot or gassed,
the money of rich men must be
taken away to be spent for the war
and not returned to the owner.
That has been suggested very
often between wars, but it does not
mean anything. It will not mean
anything while money remains, as
it is, the greatest force in govern
ment.
You may write this down on your
tablets of prophecy:
If there were any real probabil
ity of capital being conscripted,
along with men, for government use
in the next war, that war would be
postponed indefinitely. The real
bosses would see to that.
The war in which little fellows
lose their lives, at $30 a month,
and big fellows double their profits,
is the war that will last.
Intelligence rules. Modern in
telligence, 90 per cent of it is de
voted to accumulating money.
Where money is intelligence and
power are also.
When war comes, little men will
be conscripted, and marched away
while capital assures them that they
are heroes and nothing is too good
for them. Then capital will pro
ps' ceed to make as much as possible
out of the war, and the government
will beg the prosperous to buy
bonds at good interest. That’s our
war system, ami it will last as long
as the rest of the system—a good
many years.
A foreigner in New York, by ac
cident or with wicked intent, used
a worthless foreign coin, instead
of an honest American nickel, to
pass through the turnstile that
opens the way to the subway jam.
Justice seized him, dragged him to
court. The judge delivered a sol
emn lecture on the shortcomings of
foreigners and the beauty of hon
esty, that would have done your
heart good.
It all wound up with the earnest
suggestion that the guilty foreigner
he deported. The judicial lecture
is made the more impressive by the
fact that subway management has
stolen streets from the public and
tens of millions from its confiding
stockholders - with never a judge
interfering.
Rut then the street car rascals
are noble Americans, not base born
foreigners trying to steal a ride
from a great corporation.
“When is a man or a woman
old?” That question is asked by an
advertiser. How W’ould you answer
it? Gray hair, wrinkles, stooping
shoulders, slow' steps, feeble and
dim eyes do not make old age.
You are old, in the unpleasant
sense of the word, whatever your i
v age, when you automatically reject
p. new idoa with “I don’t believe it.” *
You are old when the happiness
of uthers no longer gives you pleas- ,
ure, when life looks gray; when you
lose confidence in human nature
and in humanity's progress.
Concrete is old when it’s hard
and “set” and it’s the same.with
the brain of man or woman. There
.'.re nie:i and women of 80 much
younger in reality than many of 28.
There are women at 80 younger
mentally than they were at 18. If
intelligence and kindness increase,
youth increases and old age goes
further back.
Rev. Dr. D. S. Dodge died, and
bis fortune, $1,135,819, goes to his
relatives, except two public be
quests totaling $30,000
This makes the ignorant wonder
whether the dead man took se
riously the text about taking all
you have and giving it to the poor.
Did Mr. Dodge conclude that was
not :aid seriously, or that it was
only temporary advice?
There is no problem involved at
all. Thor human mind adjusts it
•elf admirably to conditions, theo
ries and religious teachings.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine out
of 1,000 can say, “that’s an excel
lent capon,” quite undisturbed by
the fact that thousands are starving
not far from that capon.
That’s part of the business of
Providence. Were it otherwise, life
would lie impossible and progress
would stop, for It is built on the
achievements of intense selfishness.

IIEW GERMAN DISCOVERT
PROMISES RELIEF FROM
RHEUMATIC PAINS
From Leipzig, Germany, comes a ra
port of the discovery of a newer method
for the relief of pain in cases of rheuma*
tM»n, gout, neuritis and neuralgia without
the use of internal medicines. The discov
erer. Jacob Kohler, of Stuttgart, Germany,
has undoubtedly proved that in even the
most advanced and stubborn caaea the
sufferers often secure relief tha very firat
day.
Rubier proceeded on the theory that
rheumatism is often caused by internal
nhr.ee> sen t such a* a blind pus pocket in
n tooth), giving off poisons which are ab
sorbed by i he blood and carried to tha
joints and muscles where they set up in
flammation and intense pain. When the
inflammation appears in the muscles or
joints, it taken the form of rheumatism,
but where the delicate nerve sheath be
conies inflamed it causes neuritis or neu
ralgia. To neutralize these poisons, Rub
ier compounded a new' form of oil in
tended to penetrate to the affected joints
and muscles and neutralize the poisons In
much the same way that, bicarbonate of
<oda or magnesia neutralizes an acid atom
,rh As a result the aching Joints are
soothed, the annoying pairi* and inflamma

Back in 1851 the passenger list of
a boat leaving England for the
United States contained the names of
Rev. George E. Barker and his two
•sons, Joseph and George.
In 18511 the Barkers were establish
ed In Omaha. They took considerable
interest in local affairs, too. if ao
counts4of the time that come down to
us are reliable.
On one occasion, the claim of
George Barker to certain acres in
the neighborhood of Bellevue was

The Curious Thing That Happened
When Mndge Got Home.
Everything's all right. We’ve
fooled them. Let’s get out of here,
quickly. Turn, to your left as wc
go out of the gate.”
Little Mrs. Bird appeared at the
door of the car. materializing eo
suddenly out of the dark shrubbery
that * I suppressed a startled ex
clamation with difficulty. I started
the engine as she climbed Into the
tonneau, and she vouchsafed no
further explanation during the Jour
ney back to her house.
When, following her directions as
I had done upon leaving her home.
I found that the actual distance be
tween the houses was only thi-ee
blocks. I mentally saluted the
strategy tvliicft had led the trailing
car far ahead.
I found her gut's silently opened
for our admittance and as magically
closing again. .Mrs. Bird spoke into
the darkness, softly:
"What news from George’.’’’
“He says the big boat got away
all right.”
“Who had Griffin’s boaf?’’
“A couple of strange birds rented
it.* Griffin doesn’t know whet they
wanted. But George says the last
he saw Ills boat was trying to keep
up with the big boat and failing.
"Humph,” Mrs. Bird made the
ejaculation eloquent, and my nerves
fancied that she was not altogether
reassured as to the impotence of the
smaller boat. She marie no further
comment, however, but instead is
sued a crisp command.
"When' we ha\e gone into the
house put this car in the garage, and
then patrol around here until after
this lady lias gone.
"Patrol it is, Ma’am,” the nun re
sponded, and there wss an elusive
note in his voice which led me to
surmise that the men who answered
Mrs. Bird’s emergency (mils for
special secret enterprises like the
one she was just concluding ming
led amusement at her dictatorial lit
tle ways with the undoubted admir-.
ing loyalty and cheerful obedience
they gave Iter.
Mrs. Bird Is Batiafied.
Whether or not she recognized the
note as J had I did not know—the
was shrewd ■ enough for anythin*—
but. at < any rate, she made no
answer. Thdeed, she did not speak
again until we were back In her sit
ting roorii. Then she looked acarch
ingly at me.
••You’re shivering,” she an
nounced. "Come close to the fire.”
She drew a huge armchsjr in front
of the grate, and then punched the
charring logs Into flame.
"There!” .she said with the pecul
iar note of satisfaction which only
successful fire replenlahers can ut
ter, "that la better. I’ll be back In a
Jiffy.”
Her ’’jiffy” proved to be five min
utes hut when shs returned she bore
a tray with a pot of coffee snd the
trimmings.
“I think we’re both entitled to
this,” she said, snd with the hot.
fragrant beverage l felt my nerves
Iron out.
"Those fellows never had a
chance,” she khW after n little with
a note of pardonable exultation, but
I realized that , she was talking
mainly to keep my attention occu
pied during the trying period of In
action whioh still remained to me.
"We turned so many corners that
they simply lost track of us snd be
gan traveling up and down the main
avenues In the desperate hope of
catching otli’ trail That street on
which my friend’s hotlse stands Is n
long straight one, and I watched
them out of sight liefore we stsrted
back. There’s John now, and he
wouldn’t he bHck here un»ss he bad
thrown off the other car."
She left, the room and I heard a

arbitration that followed resulted in
the establishing of Barker's tile to

There is where our hero, Joseph

tion of a task accomplished mirrored
in her face.
"No sign of them anywhere," she
said. "John thinks both cars are
on their way to New York. At any
rate it's safe for you to go on to
your apartment. Better let John
drive you if you're not familiar with
the city traffic regulations.
"Why not "have him take me to
the train?" T asked. "There should
be one soon.’’
“No reason at all," Mrs. Bird re
sponded promptly. “There's really no
reason for your keeping under cover
any longer, for Mrs, Underwood will
not come back to your apnrtment
until the ship has sailed. Let me
see.’*
She glanced at her wrist watch,
and said:
“Can You Be Ready?
“There will be a train in ?0 min
utes, and it takes seven minutes to
drive from here if you don't want to
risk petting a ticket. Can you be

“I'm practically ready now/' I re*,
plied, and it was with the glad sense
of being in action again that 1 found
myself upon the train seeding to

A taxi whirled me quickly from

lighted, where I had expected dark
jifcgs. Surely Lillian could not ha vs

With nerve* taut I paid the driver,
I unlocked tlje lower door, ran up the
stairs and opened the door into the
hall.
My Hand was upon the inner door
to our living room when I heard *
startled masculine exclamation, an
other hand than mine pulled the door
open and I saw Dicky framed in the
opening.
