GUARDED AS SACRED THING

Trust, Once Accepted, Must Be Held Inviolate in the Bottomles* Depth* of the Soul. » There is nothing adds so much to the strength and power of character as unflinching loyalty to a sacred trust “Not to be trusted!” What a blow these words would be If they wCfe true of many of those we treasure as jewels among our friends. Unlike the secret —of which, when only a hint of It appears, It Is quickly scattered abroad to tingle, the ears of the curious—the sacred trust is silently iand safely guarded in the security of the. lips that are sealed, and the pen that would unfold Is inkless! It is lodged where the eyes of the curious can never penetrate, nor the mischievous tongue reveal its mysteries. Nor is it to be found on the honored parchment, and with those who are highly paid for trust’s protection, but is written In Invisible words, and the bottomless depths of the soul. Safe •it is from the “spite thrower’s dagger” —safe in tnought, where no whisper or sound can steal its sacredness; ever conveying, ever adding strength and courage to the trusted. It is the only armor needed to find the worth of “friend.”—W. Stewart Royston.

It was reproduced in this country at a meeting of the Ancient Order of American Skinflints as a sort of poultice to their consciences. It seemed to work fust-rate. I was a firm believer in the same theory, until I studied the American profit hog at close range. Then I realized that another prop was gone from under me-" .—Kansas City Times.

MAKES FORTUNE BY SMUGGLING

Swedish “Rubber Baron” Tells How He Profited by Trading on Frontier.

WAS CLERK BEFORE THE WAR Made His First Money Dealing In Russian Rubles—Then Engages In Smuggling Rubber From Finland and Gets Rich Quickly. Stockholm, Sweden.—“ You want to know what people smuggle? Go up the river then, and you will soon find out. They smuggle nearly everything, so it Is rather difficult to answer the question offhand.” So said a custom house officer at. Haparanda, the little Rwodiah town on the frontier of Flnlahd, to Herbert Ericson, ar Swedish writer, who went up the Tornea valley to investigate the smuggling stories. “While I was waiting for the OverTornea train to start, a motorcycle chugged into the station yard,” said Ericson.

“That is one of our rubber barons,” remarked an acquaintance to me. A rubber baron, in Haparanda w talk, is a man who suddenly gets rich on smuggling rubber in from Finland. I was in luck, for the baron —Karlsson I will call him—traveled north in my compartment. He was a pleasant fellow. He did not remind me of the smart specula tors I had met In Norrland. He even looked embarrassed when I began to' talk about smuggling.

Clerk Before the War. “Presently he told me that at the outbreak of the war he had been a clerk in one of Norrland’s coast towns. He had earned his money in rubles.

“It is not generally known that many hundred Swedes have made big fortunes out of rubles. It happened like this: After the occupation of Poland and other regions of Russia, the Germans found that the population refused to take marks in payment for such supplies as were paid for,. The people demanded rubles, and rubles the Germans did not have. The only way of getting them was through Sweden. The Russian government permitted no more than 500 to be taken out of the government by each traveler, but with the Incentive of a gbod reward smugglers were not lacking. The Haparanda agents bought up these rubles and sent them down to Germany by bales. “When the Germans had bought all the rubles they wanted Karlsson tried to smuggle drugs to Finland. That failed absolutely. He met with a disaster at the outset. His first conslgn-

One night he went to Mattila, where the rubber was to be ready. Mattila is a tiny station on the Hap-aranda-Over-Tornea stretch of railway, and almost on the bank of the river.' “When he arrived there was no sign of a Russian custom house’ officer across stream. The revolution bus altered matters. The Cossacks who used to patrol the Russian shore had disappeared. The new guards appointed by the revolutionaries found It more interesting to stay in Tornea. Karlsson picked up the rubber. This was only the first of a chain of such transactions he managed with financial success.

LIFE IS SAVED BY HANDKERCHIEF

Aviator, Stranded in No Man's Land, Faces Fire, of Friend and Foe. WAVED SIGNAL TO FRENCH By Fast Running Sergeant Baugham Reaches Comrades in Safety—l* Rewarded With Military Medal by the French. Washington.—Flight Sergeant James H. Baugham of Washington, who was transferred from the Lafayette escadrille to the Paris Air Defense squadron, has been reported a prisoner in unofficial advices to bis jhothar, Mrs. Mary A. Baugham, president of the Dixie Agricultural company of Washington. Sergeant Baugham joined the Lafayette escadrille in 1917 when he was eighteen years old and won the Military medal, the highest French honor to noncommissioned men.

The Incident that earned the sergeant the medal was described in a letter he wrote recently. Paying tribute to the wonderful spirit of his French comrades, Sergeant Baugham said: “We had been sent out to patrol back of the German lines and to attack anything enemy we saw.' Having incendiary balls In my gun, I was prepared to attack a German ‘sausage’ or observatory balloon. Just as I was beginning the descent to attack, I saw a Boche airplane going in the direction of our lines to do photographic work. I put on-full speed and signaled to the other planes to follow.- They evidently did not see my signal, for they didn’t go down with me. When I got 100 meters from the Boche I started firing. The enemy replied by turning loose both guns at me. I must have got him, however, with the first blast, for when I pulled up to make another dive he was silent.

“Then something happened that would make the goodest man on earth cuss, and as I am not one of the best, you can Imagine that I left little unpaid. My motor stopped absolutely dead. There was only one thing for me to do and that was to dive, lose the Boche and try to volpjane to the French lines. As Went past the German machine it immediately came down and, putting some nice steel very close to him, I did all the acrobacy I had ever learned. When I had finished I found that I had come down from 10,000 to 1,000 feet and there was no Boche in sight. . “I then looked around for a place to land. I saw a fairly good place off to the right and made it. I then stepped out of the machine —right on the face

“To make our country really safe we must first make it healthy,’* is the slogan Doctor Farrand suggests for this war against disease. Of the men called to the colors by the first draft 90,000 were found to be tubercular. This is one of the striking indications of the prevalence of the disease. “While the war has thus effectually disclosed conditions which existed before, rather than produced these conditions, it is also true that in indirect ways it has substantially increased the tuberculosis problem in the European countries involved," says Doctor Farrand. - . “I refer not to the situation in the armies, where the mode of life often rends to reduce this disease, but to conations which affect the civilian population.” increased food, clothing and housing costs necessitating, among the lower wage groups, diminished quantity and quality and their resultant undemutrition, are given as contributing causes. A nation-wide campaign against the disease and for adequate provision for rejected and discharged soldiers suf-

“Karlsson- has meticulously taken the goods so smuggled to the Swedish customs authorities, to be assessed for duty. Quantities of tin, flour and linseed oil have similarly come over the river for many months past. Tin gives the Finns an advantage. I found one case where a druggist had come to grief by taking delivery of and paying heavily for a thousand kilos of a cheap alloy. The flour smuggling seems to indicate that the Finns engaged must be blackguards of a particularly ob-. noxious type, for they ship flour put of their land while they know that tens of thousands of their fellow countrymen are nearly starving and that their government Is sending out commissions fuli of piteous appeals to other lands, America included, to spare them a littl4 flour. It seems curious that these commissions could not have tarried a week at the frontier and organized a guard to put a stop to the drain of flour there.”

of a dead German. It took me a minute to realize what was happening and I awoke to the sound, of bullets whizzing past my head. That didn’t disturb me much, because I was wondering why somebody hadn’t buried the German. Looking around, however, all I could see was dead Germans. It suddenly dawned on me that I was in No Man’s Land. Of all the places there are to land in France and Germany I had to land between the two.

“Then I realized what a predicament I was in and began to think u]> some way to get out of it. The thought came to me that if I was hearer the German lines than to the French, I had better get rid of those incendiary balls in my pocket, for if the Germans catch you with them you are shot at once. I climbed back into my machine to the tune of bullets and took out a load of over 300 cartridges, threw them on the ground and then removed my compass and altimeter. “The first thing I struck was a grave, unfinished, with two of the enemy in it. I eased myself down into it, lifted up one of the Germans and put the cartridges beneath him. I started walking back to my machine. As I got near it the Boche lines started their mitrailleurs and rifles at me, and the French, unaware that I was one of them, also opened up. I had to walk 500 feet between the lines and It was no joke with all that fire concentrated in my direction. One bullet passed so close to my face that I really felt the wind. I decided that I’d have to go to one of the lines, enemy or friend, but just then I heard a machine overhead;I looked up and saw white puffs break-* Ing out all around 1L “On the way the fire got so hot I had to fall face down, and I didn’t move for, I guess, five minutes. There being no good reason for my being shot like a dog, I yanked out my handkerchief and waved it at the French lines.

“They finally got it, after ten minutes of waving, and I saw a French officer beckoning me from a bit of woods. If there ever has been a faster 50-yard sprint I never heard of it. I ran so fast that I ran right into the officer, and very nearly knocked his revolver out of his hand. I showed him my identification card and then started cursing him for shooting at me. He had been taking potshots at me out there. He apologized, saying that he could only see my head, because his position was slightly lower than No Man’s Land.

"They took ,me up to the divisional general, and I reported that I had seen more than 300 dead Germans and onl/ two Frenchmen. It made him so happy that he gave me a dinner, and complimented me for being a good soldier.”
