A Notary's
Discomfiture
By DW1GHT NORWOOD
Many years ago in the city of Rhelms,
iu France, which bus of late been the
scene of fluting between the Freneh
I nnd the Germans, there lived an old
notary. In France a notary Is a law
yer but in tbe olden time a lawyer was
not'of much more Importance so far as
his work whs concerned than a notary
Is with us today. Jules Farlleux, the
notary of Rhelms, had accumulated
some 60,000 francs, which had come to
j him through small fees. This sum
' $10,000 In our money—was quite a for
tune In those days, especially in France,
where everything was very cheap and
one could live comfortably on a small
income. ,
The old man had one child, a daugh
ter, Delphlne, to whom ho expected to
I leave bis property, and It was his ex
pectation that she should marry a man
having at least an equal amount. hat
was his chagrin, therefore, when he
learned that she bad fallen in love with
Alphonse l>u Bols, a young fellow who
had Just been graduated from a law
school In Paris and settled In uhelms to
practice his profession without a sou to
i his name. The notary simply forbade
i his daughter to have anything to do
I with the man.
One day tbrec iiicu came Into Jules
' Farlleux's office, and after asking If nnd
! being assured that lie was the "dlstln
| gulslied notary" with whom so many
I persons Intrusted their affairs and their
moneys they asked him to take care o.
100,000 francs In gold which was theirs
I Jointly. Jules accepted the trust. It be
| ins agreed that he should deduct 5 per
I cent of the amount when the money
i was returned. He was then asked to
| draw up a contract to that effect. In
I which he stipulated to pay over tho
money to the three meu together and
not to any one or two of them sepa
! rntely. The contract having been slgn
I ed, tile men departed, leaving tho gold
on a table. As the notary was gather
ing It up to put In his strong box one of
the meu returned, saying he had been
deputed by the others to count the
money before it was put away. W bile he
was doing so a stranger came hurriedly
j Into the office and, nfter taking the
notary into a rear room, asked him
some questions concerning a matter
which he seemed to consider of iumie
1 dlate Importance. The notary tried to
j get away from him. but found It Impos
! slble. When he was permitted to re
1 turu to the other room both the money
and tho man who had been counting it
were gone.
Farlleux found himself In a very un
i pleasant position. He had receipted
• for 100.000 francs which he was to pay
I to the three owners together. One of
i them had taken the amount, and the
notary would be obliged to Indemnlfj
the others, which would require nearly
double all he possessed. He heard
i nothing from any of the meu for a
! month; then one morning the two who
had lost their share came to him ana
demanded It ...
The notary believed that the men
bad conspired to swindle him, but uu
less bo could prove this he bad uo hope
of saving the little fortune he had been
a llfetlmo In accumulating and which
was to go to his daughter for a dowry.
He made every effort to prove that the
meu were dishonest and In collusion,
but was not able to do so
After a formal demand for their
money the two men put the case In the
courts, and a day was set for trial.
Alphouse l»u Bols learned of the ense
from his sweetheart. I.oulse, and the
probable loss of her dowry. He to d
her to say to her father that he would
save him from the swindle if he would
consent to his marriage with her.
Louise gave tho old man the message
and it made him very angry.
"What!" be exclaimed. "Does this
noplnlav who has no experience In the
law propose to do what I, who have
been a notary for forty years, cannot
I d°Louise argued with her father, say
I lng that nothing would be lost by per*
I mlttlng Alphonse to take the case and
1 something might be gained. Mnce the
old man's principal jtrlef was that she
I would be deprived of her dow ry. she
i finally won him over, but not until t
case had been called iu court, and If
any defense was to be put In it must
be done at once. Then the notary,
who could see no possible excuse un
deFtfuTroutracfToavoid IhdeiittHfying
the plaintiffs, aKreed that In caso Du
Bots saved his fortune It should go to
Louise as his bride.
The young lawyer arose in court and
called for a reading of the contract
When the reader came to the words,
"And the said Farlieux shall' pay to
the said depositors together and to no
one or two separately the sum of 100,
000 francs." Du Bois stopped him and
satd:
"Your honor, my client is ready to
pay the 100,000 francs specified under
the contract to the three depositors to
Aether, but is prohibited by the con
tract from paying the money to two
of them separately."
The judge dismissed the case, for the
moment the third man who had gone
off with the funds should appear he
would be arrested, and the notary
need not pay till he was present
The man who had gone away with
the deposit never returned, and the
notary was never again called on to
pay it Du Bois married Louise, but
declined to permit her to accept the
dowry. The reputation he made by
his handling of tho caso in court
brought him a practice that eventually
made him rich.
Amsterdam, Aug. 4—While the
greatest secrecy Is maintained -by
the German authorities concerning
the affairs of the navy and the
confirmation of reports circulated is
usually Impossible, it is known that
great and unceasing activity exists
in all German shipyards. 1
'lie fighting strength of the Ger
man navy at the present time can
only be a matter of conjecture,
while Its power of expansion 'has
been the subject of considerable
speculation.
To his battle squadron the Kais
er has undoubtedly already added
the Kronprinz, which was laid down
at Kiel In the middle of 1912,
whilo the battle cruiser Luitzow,
launched at Danzig near the end
of 1915, and tho Ersatz Hertha,
laid down 'in the same year, will
certainly have joined the waiting
battle cruiser squadron by this
time.
Tho best known of the -new
ships under construction are th
Ersatz Worth and the "T," both
commenced early in 1914. These
vessels are approximately of 28,000
tons displacement and mo>unt eight
fifteen-inch guns. Compared with
the Queen Elizabeth class they car
ry tho same "armament much more
efficiently protected, hut at an In
ferior speed. '
The building of submarines is
known to be progressing steadily
night and day, ever Increasing the
menace to British commerce. Some
of them are of such, size and pow
er as to be almost worthy the
name of under water battleships.
The Wasp.
It is said that tho male wasp does
not sting, but as tho male and female
wasps wear the same kind of polonaise
and look as much alike as twins the
only way to distinguish their sex Is to
entch one. If It stings it Is a female;
if not. It is a gentleman wasp.
Cossacks as Riders.
When crossing rivers the Cossacks,
to avoid getting wet, throw the left
stirrup leather across the saddle and
the right stirrup leather in the opposite
direction. Then, placing their feet In
the reversed stirrups, they stand up
right

Th« Vanishing Road.
We are all treading the vanishing
road of a song la the air, the vanish
ing road of the spring flowers and the
winter snows, the vanishing roads of
the winds and the streams, the vanish
ing road of beloved faces. But In this
great company of vanishing things we
I feel that there is a reassuring comrade
ship. We feel that we arc the units in
a vast ever moving army, the van
guard of which Is in eternity. The
road still stretches ahead of us. For
a little while yet we shall experience
all the zest and bustle of marching
feet The swift running seasons, like
couriers bound for the front, shall still
And us on the road, and shower on us
in passing their blossoms and their
suows. For a while the murmur of the
running stream of time shall be our
fellow wayfarer—till, at last, up there
against the sky line, we, loo, turn and
wave our hands, and know for our
selves where the road wends as it goes
to meet the stars. And others will
stand as we today and watch us as we
disappear, and wonder how It seemed
to us to turn that radiant corner and
vanish with the rest along the van
ishing road.—From "Vanishing Hoads,"
by Richard Le Gallieuue.
Siberian Signal Men.
It Is probable that nowhere save in
Siberia are couviets employed In any
service pertaining to the. operation of
railways. In that place of exile there
are many "good conduct" men, who
spend their lives in little huts along
the line of railway, always a vcrst
apart, whoso duty it is to signal with
green flags that the road is clear. At
night they signal with a green lamp.
If tho traveler stands between the
railway cars at midnight he may tick
off the green lights as the train spins
along. Away down the black avenue
will appear a tiny green speck. As
the cars proceed this speck will become
larger and larger, and finally (he figure
of a man holding up the lamp Is dis
tinguishable in the darkness. And
there are thousands of these men along
the line. A signal started today in
Moscow runs for eleven days, until it
is broken on the banks of Lake Baikal,
beyond Irkutsk.—Minneapolis Journal

A New Back for an Wld One. How
it Can lie Done in Alaska
The back aches at times with a
dull, indescribable feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
paius shoot across the region of the
kidneys, and again -the loins are
so lame that to stoop is agony. No
uso to rub or apply a plaster to the
back i£ the kidneys are weak. Al
askan residents would do well • to
profit by the following example.
John I. Conger, prop., printing
shop, 845 N. Seventeenth St., Sal
em, Oregon, says: "My back got
weak and sore and my kidneys did
not act as they 6hould. At times
I could hardly -straighten. Doan's
Kidney Pills gave me relief and it
took them only a short time 1 to
rid me «f kidney trouble. I pub
licly endorsed them several years
ago and am glad to do so again."
Price 50c, at ali dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—

that Mr. Conger had. Poster-Mil
