The indicting fact that the administration at Washington has dropped Nelson 0'Shaughnessy from the diplomatic corps has not attracted the attention it deserves. It deserves attention because it eloquently testifies to the unreasoning unfairness which creeps into the government's relationship with its faithful servants when u politics" become the predominating factor in the consular service. It deserves attention because it is an exhibit which clearly indicates the logical fruits of such a diplomatic policy as the late Mr. Bryan inaugurated when he Bent the now-deposed Sullivan—an ex-Tammany lawyer—to Santo Domingo with instructions to find all the jobs possible ''for deserving Democrats. n Nelson O'Shaughnessy served as charge d'affairs in Mexico City under the most difficult circumstances and he proved himself one of ablest and most courageous and most tactful diplomats who has served under the American flag. When he finally withdrew from his perilous post—amid the unanimous acclaim of every foreign resident in the Mexican capital he was praised by an unanimous American press as worthy of the most striking recognition which Washington could bestow. The 4 'recognition'' has come. r »hat it has been "striking" could not be denied. But that it has not been of the type which O'Shaughnessy richly earned and which the country wanted him to receive is beyond possibility of dispute. TVe have many excellent men in our foreign service; but we have no such wealth of genius in this direction that we can afford to throw out the O'Shaughnessy and bring in substitutes whose primary claim for recognition rest solely in their u deserving partisanship." The president needs expert Mexican advisors—Heaven knows.. He needs advisors who can speak from long experience with the Mexican people. Instead of "dropping" such men as Nelson O'Shaughnessy and Henry Lane Wilson, if he were to call them to his consultation table he would be in less tempestuous embarrassment and in less uncertain uneasiness than he is as a result of his experiment with tyros and amateurs. - 0 - BLOEDSINNING. Mobolize the obfuscated etymologists! Bring in the spoffish seers. We have been called "Bloedsinning Yankees"—and the oracles of state are consumed with anxiety lest we have been insulted and don't know it! 'Twas in von Papen's letter (von Papen is German military attache at Washington)—one of the letters which submerged Archibald in a sea of trouble. "Bloedsinning Yankees"—von Papen called us in his interrupted reports to the Fatherland; and State Counsellor Polk has sent the interpreters and translators a-scurrying to let us know the worst. If it is as bad as it sounds, von Papen must—well, there ere limits to our pastric patience! "Bloedsinning Yankees!" Ugh! We are told—and by hearsay only are we able to report—we are told that "bloed- Binning" may mean "idiotic" or it may mean "imbecile" or it Way just mean "empty headed." Let the incisors quickly wield their lingual scalpels! We would have the worst—and out with it! If we are insulted we want to know it—because there is no more pitiable object in the world than one who is insulted Btd doesn't know it. "Bloedsinning!" It is a bludgeon of a word! If it has been bred in onomatopoeia, we are quite positive that we don't like it! But these being stresssome times, we await leadership from Washington before we undertake to smile or frown. -0- MONEY AND THE MAN. Savings, not income, shows man's real worth. On this basis the people of the United States occupy an unenviable position in comparison with other nations. The financial sharps have figured it out that with wealth untald and an anannual income of thirty-five billion dollars, America ranks fifteenth in the proportion of population carrying savings banks accounts. And yet money is not the most important thing in life. Wealth improperly used is more of a menace than poverty. And it may be that in the very terms of which we today speak of wealth is to be found the secret of the lack of frugality and thrift. W speak with awe of the man worth hundreds of thou- Bands of dollars of the millionaires, and the little dollars the most of us feel down in our trousers pocket seems so infinitesimal that they are scarcely worth while. The nation needs to take another viewpoint. Value the man for what he can EARN AND SAVE and not for what ho tan ACCUMULATE through the efforts of others, or what he may hame inherited from a frugal parent's self-denials ^ood luck. The very terms in which Americans speak of money, illustrates our perverted view of wealth. The american speaks uf wealth in terms of capital—a man is said to be worth $100,- JDOO, $1,000,000. The Englishman speaks of income—ten thoufcand a year. And the still more thrifty Frenchman, in talking jof money made means money saved. [AEROPLANES DROP BOMBS IN SERBIA NTSIT, Serbia, Sept. 29, Tla Lonjflon, Sept, 30, 9:19 a. m.—The following official statement has been issued the Serbian war office: '•On the 24th hostile aeroplanes |Ie\v over Podjervatz, dropping 22 bombs and killing three men, hut doing no damage of military significance.

"Willie, did you tie that tin can to the dog's tail?' "Yes, sir," replied the small boy. "I'm trying to do a kind act every day. That dog chases every rabbit THE LITTLE FORTUNE Being the Fourth Adventure of the Honeymoon Detectives '•Wait a moment, young woman," said Duvall sternly. "This gentleman is not a criminal. He is one of the best known bankers in New York. He did not steal your father's collection of coins. He bought it to pay his funeral expenses." "So the forged letter says'." exclaimed the girl angrily." Why do you bring It to me if it is forged? And If it is forged how does it happen that It agrees exactly with the story you now tell me?" "Because that part of the letter Is true." "Mon Dieu!" cried the girl, now very angry. "You say it is true. M. Hartmann says it is not true. He should know, 1 think." "How?" asked Duvall quietly "Because he was my father's physician, and was with him when he delivered the coins to this man." She pointed an accusing finger at poor Morris. "Now go away and leave me. You have robbed a poor girl. It is enough, I should think, without torturing her with your lies." She flung herself, weeping, from the room. "My God!" exclaimed Mr. Morris, passing his hand nervously across his forehead. "This is terrible. Isn't there anything we can do?" "There Is one thing," said Duvall sternly, as he strode into the hall, "and that is arrest this man Hartmann and his companion at once." He went up to the clerk. "You have two gentlemen here," he said, "that arrived this afternoon. One of them is named Oratz, the other Hartmann. Are they in?" The clerk looked at his keyboard. "Their key is not here," he said. "I have not seen them descend. I am quite positive they are in their room. Shall I send up and find out?" "No." Duvall approached him closely. "I am a detective, and my companion here as well." He indicated M. Lefevre. "He is, in fact, the prefect of the police of Paris. These men Gratz and Hartmann we believe to be desperate criminals. For the sake of the reputation of your hotel, monsieur, it would be better for us to meet them in their rooms. A scene of shioting here in your front hall would not be to your liking." The clerk turned pale. "Go up at once, gentlemen, by all means," he gasped. ' "I myself will show you the way." He called one of the bell-boys to guard the desk and sprang up the old-fashioned stairs. The room of the two men was on the third floor. When the party had ascended the two flights the clerk paused upon the By ARNOLD FREDERICKS landing and pointed to a door in the front at the end of the hall. "There, gentlemen," he said; •No. 32." Duvall went up to the door and tried it. It was locked. He rapped sharply, but received no answer. Again he rapped, with the same result. "Have you a pass-key?" he asked the clerk. "In a moment, monsieur," cried the latter, and disappeared. He came back in a few moments with a bunch of keys on a large wire ring. With one of these he carefully opened the door. Duvall and the others stepped in. The moment they crossed the threshhold they voluntarily recoiled. The clerk, who brought up the rear, gave a cry of horror. It was close to six o'clock. The sun, however, was still some distance above the horizon, and the room was fairly light. On the floor, close to the farther wall ,lay the body of the man known on the steamer as Gunther and later as Gratz. He lay upon his face, as though he had been struck down from behind. A knife still projecting from between his shoulders showed the manner of his taking off. Duvall sprang forward and, lifting one of his wrists, felt for his pulse. The clerk, whitefaced and trembling, closed the door. "Too late," said Duvall, letting the man's arm fall to the floor. "He is dead, but not for long. How the other.fellow got out I cannot Imagine. It must have been while we were in the parlor talking to the maid." He turned to the clerk. "Did any one go out during that time?" "Yes—I—I—think so," the fellow stammered. "I did not particularly notice. I was busy with my accounts." "But you told us vhat the man Hartmann had not tvone out." "Oh! No, monsieui*; he did not go out. He was a large man with a heavy beard, and so crippled from rheumatism that he could scarcely walk. I am quite sure he did not go out." . Duvall went to the window, pulled up the shade ,and glanced eagerly across the street. Would Grace recognize Hartmann without his disguise, or would he give her the slip? He looked for her carefully, but she was not in sight. He concluded that she had In some way recognized the man and followed him. He turned again to the room, determined to search it thoroughly before calling In the poliqe. M. Lefevre was examining with curiosity some reddish marks on the wall just above the murdered man's head, "lie was writing something on the wall." he said. "Some message, that he did not live long enough to complete. He had dipped his finger in the blood from his wound and made the letters that way. Can you make them out?" The letters were very irregularly made, especially toward the end, as though the hand that traced them had grown rapidly weaker. "It appears to be 'Hartmann ist—' " read Duvall. "The last word he was unable to finish. What a pity he did not live long enough to complete it. It might have told us much that is important." "What do you make of this?" asked Mr. Morris, handing the detective a lump of what appeared to be putty, which he had taken from the table. Duvall looked at it, then smiled and threw it down. "Looks like what Is left of our friend Hartmann's hooked nose," he said. "He must have left In a hurry. I imagine they did not expect Vernon's body to be found so quickly. Our arrival must have surprised them. I suppose they got Into some quarrel over the division of the spoils, as criminals usually do, or couldn't agree upon Ihelr next move, and Hartmann settled the matter with a knife.' He examined the handle of the Weapon for a moment with keen Interest. "Of French make, I should say, by the looks of it," he remarked, touching the handle, then proceeded to an examination of the room. There was but one satchel In the room—a large traveling bag —and beside It a rug. Duvall examined the bag's contents quickly. It contained only some articles of clothing and other usual traveling paraphernalia, a hypodermic syringe in a case, some tablets of morphin in a bottle, and a note-book filled with medical notes and prescriptions, upon the front cover of which were Inscribed the words "Victor Relnhardt, Paris." The prefect riiade a note of the name In his pocketebook. "I think it likely," he remarked, "that we shall find M. Relnhardt to have been the doctor who attended the old man. Mercler, in his last illness, and not Hartmann, as the girl said." "Very likely. You will be able to find out at once by cabling your office In Paris, no doubt" "Yes. In fact, the Information may already be awaiting me at the hotel. I directed the steamship line to send any message which might come for. me there." (Continued tomorrow.) Brooklyn, N. Y., reports success of plan of permitting high school pupils to work and study on alternate days. 9 I) Questions to Be Answered: Who is this youngest business man in Kalamazoo, located at 120 Burdick arcade?

4 ' K THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30,1915. KALAMAZOO Margaret Mayo Is certainly a great hand for bedroom scenes—the kind that result in laughable situations. There was one in "Baby Mine" and In her later success, "Twin Beds" last night's attraction at the Fuller, there are two of 'em, which results in nearly twice the amount of good brisk comedy. The fun, however, is not created entirely by the situations in the present Mayo farce for there are manv clever lines. The play is right up to the instant from the twin bed fad, which it is so cleverly ridiculed and the New York apartment house life which is satirized so smartly, to the stage settings which certainly are Immense. Humorous situations come thick and fast and good cb • erization are among the valuai-" ^ vuents of the L play. The fui. • ."i and continuous. "Twin.--- nay well wear the title "a lau^ntr • nit" Kalamazoo theatergoers surely found it so! There is an abundance of good comedy in the first anfl second act, which rises in rapid crescendo in the highly facial complications of the last. Like "Baby Mine" the first act takes place in the drawing room and the second and third in Inevitable Mayo pink bourdolr. Farce .at top speed takes place In the last act when the Irate Slgnora Monti played by Marion Lord enter the Hawkins apartment looking for Signer Monti, the temperamental Italian tenor; the tenor is in and out of the clothes hamper looking for his missing clothes; a suspicious honeymooner Is looking for a missing husband, who is locked In the clothes closet, having been mistaken for a burglar; a remorseful husband of the Innocent little wife is looking for his street clothes which the maid has sent to the tailors and the poor bewildered wife Is searching for a safe and sane explanation of the whole affair. Surely nothing more complicated could be required on which to base a rip rodlously funny farce. The scene In which the Italian tenor enters the wrong apartment by mistake, disrobes, put on Mr. Haw- / « kin's pajamas and gets Into that hus- K
