Apt I m p o r t a n t L i n k l a t h e C h a i n B « - : t w e e n S u b o r d i n a t e a n d Stat*. [Special Correspondence.] The Pomona grange is the county grange; its jurisdiction is the county. Thus it becomes a" fink, and a very important link, in the grange chain, bet w e e n t h e subordinate and t h e state granges. The Pomona, like the state grange, has usually no fixed place of meeting. Whether it shall h a v e or not depends wholly on conditions. There is one advantage in the Pomona's alternating Its meetings with the subordinate granges—it m a k e s it possible to g a i n a larger membership on the start. It goes to certain members w h o might not come to it if located at a distance from them. The crucial point is to get them interested at the first; then they will attend. B u t as a rule there will be a larger attendance if ""the Pomona be centrally and permanently located. If the Pomona holds its meetings alternately among the subordinate granges t h e entertaining grange is expected to.furnish the hall and entertain the visiting members. The matter of entertainment is, however, sometimes a bugbear to small granges. Wo know of a county w h e r e the attendance on the Pomona meeting w a s so large as to make it almost wholly impossible to secure an invitation (!) for the following quarterly meeting. Visiting m e m - hers^could bring b a s k e M u n c b e s , but this, as a ride, Is not "aTtogethef safls^ factory. It is a'fair proposition, however, w h e n the Pomona is. held a t a fixed location, that all the subordinate granges should contribute, pro rata, to recognised" in hvv asw'gnjiienf. during the winter, to address farmers' institutes, and she never suffers" in comparison with the speakers of the "sterner sex."

The Pomona grange should hold at least one business session in the fifth degree and there should be one public session. Much depends on the lecturer for a successful Pomona. The prog r a m m e requires careful preparation; it Is the vital point. Persons selected to address the meeting should feel their responsibility to be on hand promptly and h a v e something to-say w h e n they get there.

No level-headed person would ever have thought of making a n assertion that, by any possibility, could be construed -as contradictory t o such plausable facts. And every man a t t h e hotel was heels over head in love -with her.

Then, as the thought "occurred to him, he added, "Does the countess, your mother, suspect that your affections were given elsewhere?" "My mother suspect? No! If she did she would kilt mo." Then, as,the peril of her position again occurred to her she turned pleadingly to asked; "what must be done?" Alexis sat deep in thought for a moment. "There is one thing that must be done, and at once," at length he said. "I will write a letter to the countess, releasing you from our engagement." "But the cause?" eagerly asked Olga. "I wiH say that my affections are centered on another." "Oh. Alexis!" exclaimed Olga, her face brightening for the 'first time since she spoke. "You have anticipated my wish.

And these are the men with whom I am compelled to associate in the effort to free our beloved Russia." During the time when she was speaking, Ilda kept her eyes fixed on Alexis and Olga, and then, wonderingly. she .looked to Ivan for an explanation of the presence of the stranger. In a few hurried words, premising to tell her at length in the future, Ivan explained all and as he finished Alexis and Olga came and joined them. The meeting between the two girls was marked with mutual affection. Their interview was necessarily brief.

In the meantime Ivan and Alexis strange display of bravado. ivan was very pale. He first called one of the men, to whom he gave the letter addressed to the countess. The man departed, and the door was again fastened. Then Ivan spoke in low, earnest tones: "Do you think," he said, "that I, who have done so much for the cause of Russia, couid spy? Shame upon you, Oraminsky. You should have known me better; you should have trusted me more!" Oraminsky was silent. Among the others there was fin ominous murmur. "You should have told us—we knew nothing." Ivan turned like a flash in the direction in which the voice came. "I am a leader; you should have faith in your leader. But enough.

Before Ilda could reply, Ivan said that t i e time had come to leave the place, and befcre they could anticipate his action he had given the signal that summoned the conspirators. Slowly the doors revolved, and Oraminsky and his people came forth. They took their places about the lence for a^second. The coatplratort were -evidently collecting their strength and preparing for a rush. "Down with them all!" ahouted Oraminsky as he gathered himself for a spring. "Down with the traitors, all!" anfi the words rang out. Ivan had the pistol leveled, finger on trigger. Alexis had his sword drawn. Suddenly there was a tremendous crash. The door hurst open by a blow from a sledge hammer, stood -j-qulverlng la splintered ruins on its broken hinges. The wooden shutters fell crashing from the7 windows into the cellar below.

The voice was that of Oraminsky; the word was given in a tone of peremptory command. "You carnot - leave here until you have swern secrecy!" "That is right!" came the''simultaneous expressions*1 of Oraminsky"s followers. Ivan spoke: "One moment! Hear me! Colonel Nazimoft' is here as my friend.

He was flushed with exthat the holder could not last long To put this prospect to the test several possible buyers went down to the village to look over the vicar. A father and son attended the Sunday services at the church. A servant led the ailing vicar, but the latter managed to get through a very *earnestly delivered sermon lasting half an hour. In the afternoon he again conducted service, baptized children and preached for fifty minutes. Service in the evening was to follow. But the m.an who had come to buy had seen enough. "My son," he said, "that old cock ain't a-goin' yet; 1 am," and j he forthwitn departed. In the end a : young pareon bought the place for j himself.

The conspirators found in this place, the hurried'" report which reached him said, were evidently the head arid front of the whole conspiracy, and he had given orders to have them brought before him, so as to make a terrible example of them all before proceeding to dispose of the rank and file. With such damning evidence of their guilt there would be no need for delay, and he would act at once. Those guilty of the capital crime he would commit to prison tor trial that would surely end in their conviction and ignominious death; the others he would summarily sentence to Siberia. v He fairly^ gloated over the prospect. and cast eager glances at the clock awaiting the news that the daring and desperate leaders would soon stand before him. "By Heaven!" he exclaimed, "after this there can be no barrier to my successful advancement. The czar cannot afford to pass without signal recognition this evidence of my zeal and ability, and to reward it as it deserves." He was in this delightful frame of mind when suddenly the door leading to his private apartments opened and the countess entered the room. He turned. "Congratulate me, Katherine!" he exclaimed, and then saddenly stopped. His wife's face fairly frightened him. Katherine Karsicheff as she entered the room was deathly pale. Her eyes. neltEntnl"contracted~brows7=shom^ with a fire that was almost of a greenish tint. Her features twitched convulsively, and her whole manner betrayed such a frenzy of anger that her husband stood aghast at the terrible appearance she presented. In her hand, crushed and half torn, she held an open letter. • "For God's sake, Katherine, what has happened?" at length said Karsicheff, after the countess, in a very paroxysm of passion, brought down her hand on the table till it quivered. and then sank into a chair, overcome for aa instant by the violence of her agitation. "Disgraced before St. Petersburg— humiliated before Russia—oh! but. it shall not stop here—f will go to the czar , myself—the Insult must be avenged—the—I will have satisfaction—" thus the countess raved in broken sentences, and this was her only reply to Karsicheff's inquiry as to the cause of her agitation. "What does it mean?" thought Kartucbeif. "Surely she can have heard nothing of the czar's growing impatience with my administration. Even so, the events of to-day will set all right again.—I— The countess broke in upon his surmises. Rising to her feet, she came to where he stood expectant, and in a voice choking with rage said: "You are my husband—Olga's father—what can you do to avenge this insult?" and she thrust the—letter into his band. : — Karsicheff glanced at the paper. It was the letter written by Alexis Nazimoff. He could hardly trust himself to speak. To give utterance to his own feelings, which were scarcely less intense than those of Katherine. would be to fan the flames of her why didn't God give you some of the spfrit of a man, you coward?" "Katherine!" "Don't speak to me!" the countess went on; "don't you see that Alexis Nazimoff, by this act, makes us the laughing stock of all Russia—humiliates, disgraces, degrades its. This insult to me—to Katnerina ,\ Karsicheff— "and she drew herself up— "must be avenged." She approached him where he stood writhing under her insulting, burning words. Then, raising her hand menacingly, she shook it at him fiercely, and went on: "You must call him out—you must shoot him like a dog—you must—" The violence of her feseling was too much for her, and she! sank into a chair, vainly trying to find words to express the rage that was choking her. Karsicheff, now that his wife had ceased speaking, "sat regarding her with mingled anger and apprehension. Ha felt, as has been said, the insult, but he doubted the wisdom of resenting it there and then. Before he could decide what to do, the door opened and Nicholas entered. Katherine, with her face turned away, rose and without a word left the room. She would not betray her bitter disappointment even to her own son. Nicholas watched his mother with painful anxiety. He could not fail to notice that she was deeply agitated. "What has happened?" he said to his father; "surely she has not heard it -yet-?-"— _; __ , _ _ „ _ < "Heard what?" asked Karsicheff. Something in the tones of Nicholas' voice struck him with a feeling of apprehension. "Heard of what?" he repeated. Nicholas turned. "The—the rumor—that—" "Go on! Good God, don't mutter and stammer like a child. . What is it?" asked Karsicheff, in a fever of impatience. "The rumor that you have already been deposed, and that Nazimoff has been appointed your successor." "My God!" Constantine Karsicheff pressed his hand to his heart as. if he had been shot. Nicholas sprang forward and supported him to a chair. Karsicheff gasped painfully for a moment, and then with an effort said: "Is it—is it true?" "I fear it." was the reply. "Another emissary of the Nihilists has been at work, even in the imperial palace, and the czar has summoned a council of ministers. Nazimoff was sent for by his majesty early this morning. Some account of the occurrences/ of last night at the Nazimoff palace has reached the czar this morning, and he sent for him to thank him in per- ^knd spread report* everywhere of ? y work. Give it to be understood t*oat! i shall show no mercy, and take care' that you spread the report so that it will reach the czar."

As the extended and unj frequented forest is the habitation of wild animals and birds, so may the extensive orchards 'after becoming thickly grown become to a greater extent the habitation and harbor for Insects and fungi, than the smaller and more frequented blocks. As a large percent of the growth in the development of trees, fruits and plants is supplied by light and air, we perhaps give too little consideration to this fe*£nro of fruit culture, and have suffered by "doing l a We xVow~of nlFl^catidn that requires the application of good judgment and common sense more, or one that pays any better on the capital invested, when applied, than commercial orcharding.

"It was the custom in those timea~foF" men of all grades of society to risk their money at games of chance, and the lawmakers who gathered at Tuscaloosa were among the best patrons of the gaming tables. , "The proprietor of one of those resorts, wishing to keep the state solons separated from the ordinary customers of his place, put up a big sign io the apartment devoted to faro, poker, roulette and the like, which read: " 'Members of the legislature please take the table to the right; gamblers take the table to the left—it's hard to tell you apart.'"—Washington Post A Owesr Question. = I>rof.JLjopold Barisen is to __ of the great X-ray machine. 1¾ Educational building at the 8€ fair, and, naturally, in this position, he is called upon to answer innumerable strange questions.

A tree set in such a place simply remains from year to year without making much growth, seeming to, be engaged In a great struggle with nature for existence. In a clay soil the whole land is so claye/ that water does not seep through it. Som& orchardists run a subsoil plow the length of the rows that are to receive the trees, so that the water will seep from the soil around the tree into the adjacent soil. We know of orchards that are set on sandy hillsides. It is evident that in such a location the preparation of the hole in which the tree.is to be set is of no moment, as the subsoil is of jsuch composition that the water, cannot remain to drown out the trees.

Most children—in fact, all happy c h i l d r e n - have an unconscious mastery of this beautiful art, but unfortunately they'' ofteu lose it as they grow older. Children are the best judges of smiles in the world. "Her lips smile," said a child, speaking of a hard faced woman, "but she doesn't." A widening of the mouth in a vain endeavor to look pleasant Is not a smile. I t deceives nobody. A smile, to be worthy of £ i e name, must come from the heart.

Tke Becoad Strike of Batchers Will Make a Pleree Ftarht. ( The great sympathetic strike to aid the butcher workmen involves nearly 100,000 men and will effectually tie up 4he meat industry of .the United,States. The packers had one last chance to avert the strike by acceding to the propositions of the unions before Mon" day. The packers, however, evidently made up their minds to fight, as telegrams wer,e sent out through the country ordering non-union men rushed to the packing centers. The strike in its effect will be one of the most serious In the history of the nation. In fact, if it lasts any length of time, the country will find itself- face to face with a meat famine. The decision to call a sympathetic strike was reached after all negotiations between the unions and the packers had been broken off. The joint conference lasted from 9 -a*-TO. until noon. The unions insisted on the reinstatement of butchers and casing department workers within forty-eight hours and all the other strikers within ten days. The packers absolutely refused to do this, contending that the original agreement would have to stand. Neither side would give in one inch, and finally the conference broke up. Mrs. Marbrlck Free. Mrs. Florence Maybrlck Is free. She left Truro. Eng., Wednesday, on her way to France. Mrs. Maybrlck. who w,as Miss Florf- nce Elizabeth Chandler, a member of 4i well known and prosperous Mobile. Ala., family^ was married July 27, ';• 1SS1. in St. James c-nurcn, riccadilly, ICL Jus. Maxbrj£k,_ of Liverpool. She swas then 18 years old. Her husband tvas OV/T 40 years of age. In the spring of 1880, Mr. Maybrlck became ill and In a few days he died. His brothers investigated his death and charged Mrs. Maybrlck with the murder of her husband. A long trial followed, and a number of doctors swore th.it the deceased died of arsenical poisoning. The defense proved'that for 20 years Mr. May)'rick had been a cofir inert user of arsenic and that he daily tooir doses large enough to have killed a dozen ordinary men. Mrs. Maybrlck was eventually sentenced to death b y l h e Judge, Sir Fltzjames Stephens, who spore for two days in charging the jury, and shocked even the English bar and many American jurists compared it in veuom and prejudice to the diatribes of Jeffreys in the "Rloody Assizes." He subsequently died In an asylum. Military Rule Over. Before the end of the present week there will be no military rule in the State of Colorado. The troops In Teller, San Miguel and Las Animas counties will be withdrawn and .the administration of affairs in these counties 'Jeft to the civil authorities. The withdrawal «r tv"> trnnpa will also bring about he dissoluion of the military commissions now in existence in the Cripple Creek district. The results above referred to will be effected by orders from Gov. Peabody, who has arrived at the conclusion that conditions in these counties have become- so peaceful as to no longer require the presence of the m+tttary-.-- . Carried by Bayonet Ckarse—The Raa- •iana Routed. From Shanghai comes the news that the Japanese, after a sharp and brilliant fight, have captured Shimon, 10 miles east of Llao Yang, according to a cable from Nagasaki. This cable says the official report was received by courier. Shimou was captured and occupied July 19. It was the strongest Russian position oh the advanced line of entrenchments guarding the eastern road to Russian headquarters, which are 10 miles away. After much shelling of the Russian position the Japanese infantry, under cover of a concentrated fire from all the batteries, charged and earried Shimou at the point of the bayonet. The Russian withdrawal is said to have b^en almost a rout. The Japanese lost in killed 280 and double that number in wounded. The Russian losses are not known, but are believed to be heavy. ; ywcvs^KOf9"vm: The man who 1B loweet (Jowm. Jj hardest JUL—— .-,.—- -. , / I ^..^to9aJto-J0mmr?V9*J*9&.

No doubt is felt in London that the position of Kuropatkin's army in Manchuria is dangerous to the verge of hopelessness. Latest advices, some of which are official, leave little doubt that the Japanese movements in the east have been crowned with success and that the Russian position is cut in two, making retreat for {he main array under Kuropatkln impossible except by cutting through a force almost equal to any which he acan bring against it, and pressed on rear and flank by a force even larger. A Crushing Defeat, Reports reach Tien Tsin of desperate flghting^to t h e ^ a s t of Liajo.=,Yang* It ig said that Rennenkampf's Cossacks have met with another crushing defeat. That they have been separated from the main body of the Russian army and are in danger of annihilation. Recent reports from Liao Yang deny that the railroad between that place and Mukden has been cut, but add that there Is grave fear felt at Russian headquarters that the Japanese may reach the road at any time. . . •*• R. F. D. Salaries. The now salary schedule for rural mail carriers applies from July 1. Tfi curriers on routes of maximum length the maximum salary of $720 will be paid. The salaries of carriers on routes shorter than the maximum is fixed b / deducting $18 for each mile less than 24. The net result lias been that slightly over two-thirds of the whole force of 24.500 rural carriers have received increases of $100 a year in their salaries. The remaining carriers have received " Increases of less than this amount. The man with one foot in the grave is not anxious to get there with both feet.

'Oh, certainly, you along must come. I am always at home made welcome here." It was the baroness who spoke, and almost immediately after she entered the room, accOra* pauied by General Cobb. Both Karsicheff and the countess could not conceal their annoyance. The baroness appeared not to notice it—Cobb could not help deserving it. 'Ah, we are here—here we are," gushingly exclaimed the baroness, approaching Catherine, "I am so" early3 cafl. It It so not? And my friend, ze good General Cobb, who the life 'save -of our Bear Alexis." Katherlne bowed frigidly. "You tue welcome," she said, with marked emphasis on the pronoun. The baroness interrupted her.

I tell General Cobb Tie come with me must since he have great, good friend in ze Countess karsicheff, after he have saved Olga's husband that to be some time soon . Cohh'bowed and smiled slightly.

And with a haughty wave of her hand the countess turned her back and brought the interview to a. close. __^ Radaloff gazed at her a moment. A sinister smile appeared for a secend on his face, and then with the slightest shrug of his shoulders he turned and left the room. A moment later the door opened and Ilda Barosky entered the room and found herself face to face with the Countess Karsicheff. CHAPTER XIII, Sentenced to Siberia.

He felt that this one fact had sealed bis fate, and,with such fdrtitude as he could command he resigned himself to" the inevitable, and .awaited the next move of the soldiers. The vans arrived at length, and under the escort of three troops of Cossacks, the'prisoners having been bundled in, the march began to the great prison of Petropavlosk. Ivan and Olga.

"Olga will rejoin you after she has ia^l off her wraps," said the countess. "i am glad," she added with a sneer, which for the life of her she could set help uttering, "that you had room ier her in your carriage." ' ' - The baroness was pale as she left the room, in company with Cobb,-prededed "by ' Karsicheff. "Olga," she thought, "not* aV borne. What did it mean? What could It mean?' She flared not question the countess, whotte remark indicated that she supband with a look of hopeless, despair, it was not of herself that,; Olga thought. ^ Ivan'8 fate; her father^ grief; her mother's deadly anger; the p^M- that Olga v had returned just* blow to the prospects of Nlchpras ^tfy>n wtt& the baroness. .Th,e i>arol all these, as the result of hei\Jarrest ne.ia supposed that Olga, who had flashed in turn through her distracted left fee house when she went to in-I miud* surprise been less instantaneous than it was, the conspirators would have made a desperate resistance. For they well knew^that captured as they were, red-handed with all the .evidence of their guilt, that their doom was sealed, and that from that moment their days—perhaps even their very hours—were numbered. It was too late to attempt escape by the unseen doors that formed part of the apparently solid walls, for a dozen rifles covered them, and the soldiers, with fingers on the triggers, were only waiting the order to fire. So the prisoners—some, in defiance, some in sullen resignation, some in hopeless despair, stood still; while in obedience to the command of the officer, half a dczen soldiers speedily descended and with drawn revolvers pointed at the heads of the conspirators ordered them^to throw up their hands. Five minutes later, the captured, men and women alike, were in irons, and were seated in silence waiting the arrival of the prison vans to bear them away. Under the direction of the officers, a search was then made of the prem- "tSHs: The bombs, the wires, and the battery left no doubt as to the purpose of the prisoners; nor was there wanting still further proof of their guilt. For Kirshkin, weak from loss of blood, and paralyzed by terror, crawled on his knees to the officer and begging for his life offered to betray his companions.

Besides, he thinks he can make graft pay better than brigandage." the officer induced Kirshkin to proceed, and Che fear-stricken wretch revealed the hidden chambers on the other side of the wall. Here were found papers revealing the ramifications of the conspiracy and implicating thousands of Nihilists throughout the empire; Among all the prisoners there were none who felt their fearful position more than did Ivan and Alexis, Olga and Ilda. With blanched faces they looked into each other's, eyes, only to receive in return a sigh of hopeless despair. Alexis, at the first moment, had drawn tlie hood of his greatcoat over his head, and Olga had similarly concealed her fcatui-es with the cape cf her mantle. Eut these precautions were needless at the time, for when roughly ordered* to show their faces neither of them were recognized by the officer or by any of his men. They judged by Alexis' uniform, and by the rich and elegant dress of Olga, that their prisoners were persons of no mean station; but, since it wa3 known that Nihilists were to be found J n all ranks of society, the only feeling of the soldiers wag one of gratification that they had evidently caught some great fish in the j i e t destined for small fry. Their reward, they felt sure, would be all the greater. In a few hurried words Ivan begged- Olga, who was almost fainting, to keep up ber courage; that some means would be found to offent her prison had been traversed when an officer of the secret police galloped up- to the procession and, presenting a "paper to the officer commanding the detachment with the prisoners, cailed a halt, and announcing his authority, demanded one of the prisoners—" a girl," the paper said, "bearing the name of Ilda Barosky." "I have no orders to give,this girl out of my- custody," said the commander cf the escort. "But," said the other—our friend Radaloff—"my orders are imperative. This, girl is to be taken at once to the residence of the minister of pol l c e ! " — : — • — — — "She is ironed to one of her com-, panions," said t h e officer, "and I cannot release her here. See," he Said, "a halt is dangerous. An outbreak may occur at any moment." "Deploy your column and report with your prisoners all to the minister of police," said another messen- "ger, riding up Urtfae commander a n d saluiing as he presented a paper. "That settles our difficulty," said the officer, turning to Radaloff; and he gave orders to change the direction of march. Half an hour later the prisoners with their escort had entered the courtyard of the official residence of the minister of police, and Ilda Barosky was ordered to step down alone. A. sergeant of police unlocked her irons and she descended the steps, to be received by Radaloff and taken into his private office. Radaloff looked curiously at the young girl. He had not-forgotten his interview with her brother. "You are Ilda Barosky?" be, said. "I am." "This is then addressed to you." So saying, Radaloff handed-a letter to Ilda, and stood watching her' intently as she broke the seal. Ilda started with amazement. The letter she held in her hand announced that her presence was desired at the office of the minister of police, where the case cf her father, the exile Michael Baroteky, was being consfdered with a view to his pardon. It added that her father even then w a s at the residence of the, minister, and awaited the arrival of his daughter! And the letter was on official paper, sealed with the official seal, and bore the signature: "Constantine Karsi* eheff, minister nf pnitrp," '. ' Would Show No Mercy.

Kushequa, $a., Aug. 1.—(Special)— In this section of Pennsylvania there is a growing belief that for such Kidney Diseases a s Rheumatism and Lame Back there is only one sure pure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This belief grows from such cases as that of Mrs. M. L. Davison, of this place. She tells the story herself as follows: , "I have suffered from Rheumatism for thirty years and find that Dodd's Kidney Pills have-done-me more good than any medicine I have eyer taken. I was also bothered with Lame Back and I can only say that my back TmsiTt hbtherlct~ Dodd's Kidney Pills." Considering that Mrs. Davison only ,Jook two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, 'the result would be considered wonderful if it were not that others are reporting similar results daily.

A line Is drawn 'Between '*th« world" and all which Is not "the world"—out of "the world"; that fg, out from the graves of men, and from their ways, there are those who corneal lliu call uf the Lord, chosen by Him, and who henceforth li^e under His rule. St. Paul speaks of.them as dead to the past and living unto Christ. They are not taken o*ut of the earth when they answer to the divine -call; but they live as the cltiiens of another' earth, which Is "their own." They have earthly wants and duties and experiences, but they for the time residents here are under the have these as being But they of another country, whose symbol is often drawn as the crds¥;_w'hTch7m4y""BtKT"be-- seen as a basin and towel; or, even better, as the. throne of God and the Lamb. They _are under the laws of heaven, which ar^sioisnTexi Tip--hr"iire-^wirt^=,sg!Rjii7===B«ttTe lifer*nraelr leas a con* commandments which are 'binding In all worlds. Their methods and usages are those of heaven, which are well adapted to this world. Thus, in business thejnen of the new life are diligent, enterprising, economical, and at the same time, "fervent in the spirit, serving the Lord." In society they are generous, thoughtful of others, seeking the wellbeing of the poor, the, homeless, the people of the highways and hedges. To their feasts they call those who cannot make return. They seek rather to please than to be pleased; to amuse than to be amused. Their fashions are Imported from above; their tastes, habits, preferences; their spirits and behavior, and all which makes a life. They do, not seek to be singular, yet consent to lft, when to be peculiar is to be kind; helpful, in a constant ministering to others. There is here nothing strained or artificial, the life is natural, but according to the new nature. If it demands effort at Erst,'ft becomesjeasy.

Without them we cannot lead templatlve one. Without them repose would be but Idleness and labor vexation. Wherefore I conjure you to embrace this; exercise your whole heart, without ever desisting from its prac« tice.—James M'udge, D. D. proval. ,A/nah1u this new life walks with God. . He lives of the divine spirit, so that as many as trust'him arejnade whole. He shows that it is more blessed to ,give than to receive. It was so with our Lord, who was Lord and Savior of men, and the giver of spiritual life, but who met the lIuTIeir of a man. He~~was baptized; a.a other good men aie. He paid his taxes, drawing the money from tne sea. He gave health, sight, life, which are heavenly gifts. He fulfilled all righteousness, while he was redeeming the world. This Is a high grade of life. It exalts the man. So far as I can trust my own observation his life is easier, happier, and in all respects more satisfactory than the old life would haye been. Some men bear no part w4th Christ. They do not ronfeea him or obey him. * Some are "devoted to htm. There Is a third class of men who divide their life; some parts are secular and some Christ-like. A portion of Sunday is new, the rest of the Week is old- I believe that these last have the hardest lot of all, are least ,contented, and get the least of the world's good. It is the single eye and the single heart which will achieve success. The earth is greatly in need of the men of the new life. Let them stand for their own country, and strife here is lessened, rivalries are innocent, confusion and discord disappear; there' is -peace on earth a n * there is good will among men. The order is to be observed. The new life la given by the Life himself: we open the heart to him and be gives of his life. Then the new. spirit < has dominion nvar nn and in the freedom of our Christ and Common Tasks. Doubtless there are thousands of consecrated "and zealous Christians who, compelled to expend their chief life force upon plain tasks in humble spheres, are inclined to regret that their place, or calling is not more friendly to spirttual development. Here is, for instance, a spiritually aspiring young man, who is troubled because his daily work, though innocent in_ itself, serves as a constant rirafc'Bpetf^s spiritual nature, instead, of an encouragement to his Spiritual progress. HdW much easier it would be Jo be a Christian, he has thought, if he might be employed in writing editorials for a* religious magazine, or teaching in a college, or preaching the Gospel, instead of endlessly adding up columns*of figures.!

Good News for Anglers. A hew type of fishhook, the Invention of E. Hindon Hyde of New York, shows how even the simplest thing of common life can be readily improved. The Improvement consists in transferring the barb of the hook from the inside of the point, that Is, between the point and the shank, to the opposite side of the point, so that rs >.. and seeing the hesrren* thenstn rs«re*a«tad, God, these very stars which I now behold shall be one day beneath my feet, tffaj» thou shait hare lodged me in | for himaoir.

Thitvie due to the' fact that the new location of the barb creates a bar to the extraction of the hook after H has penetrated, and also to the fact that the barb, instead of playing against the soft mucus memhrane of the mouth to prevent release aa in> the old style of hook, presses against the hard epidermis.-^Scien U«c American. _ .

Others Were Just middlings aTWl might be better than they were, but others were actual deevils. He did not intend in this discourse to speak to the first kind, who were already good Christians and not greatly requiring either advice or censure. The second class would be rtllthe better for some plain speaking, but their case was not so urgent as that of the third class, whom he had spoken of as positive deevils. "To theiu," he said, "I mean to speak." Then, rolling up the right sleeve of his coat and. stretching out his clinched fist in front of him, he said, "Now, ye deevils." Great Western Agent, or J. P.

James Whitcomb Riley told a story of an old fellow who asked for work at the Riley farm in the poet's boyhood. He was set at hoeing potatoes, bat did not prove to be especially Industrious.

[Special Correspondence.] The farmer's son must get the idea thoroughly rooted In his brain that the twentieth century is to be a century o f education. It is to be the era of the trained man. Bight alongside of this idea the farmer's son should plant another idea, and that is that if agriculture is to keep up with the procession the agriculturist must be a trained man. Tbe farmer of the future must be thoroughly educated for his business. Tbe next question is, How shall be be trained? The means of agricultural education are so numerous and so valuable that there is no excuse for any who do not avail themselves of some of these means of training. Let me mention some of the opportunities that are' offered to farmers' sons for getting an agricultural education. First is the farm itself. This is the farmer's workshop, and \t is and ever will be the best place for his education. It is here that he applies his theories and works out*is experiments. Every ( day of his life he is at school to nature. ' He can get his information at first i hand. But it is a strange fact that two 1 different men, differently trained, will | gain exceedingly varying degrees of ! knowledge from the same farm. This Is simply because one has trained turbably pointed to a passage. It read, 'Whatsoever thy hand flndeth to do, do it with all thy might.' " B o w a n d A r r o w D r i l l In China. In 1896, a year after the war with Japan, so disastrous for China, a high Chinese official, who had -never jeen a shot fired, penned a memorial to the throne to prove that China's defeats were due solely to her having exchanged the methods of warfare taught by the sages for newfangled European ideas and European weapons. The memorial was^published with commendation, from the throne, and I myself saw' Chinese recruits practicing outside the walls of Peking with bows and arrows.—Valentine' Chirol In National Review. powers of observation; he knows how to mine knowledge. The other one is untrained; he does not know how to question nature; he cannot understand nature's answers to tbe questions he may ask. Let me point out those agencies that will give a young man such training that he can make the most of his farm as an educator as well as a money getter. I would divide these agencies into two classes: First those which are available to practically every farmer in the United States and which he can Utilize to the very end of life. Among these is the agricultural press. Good farm papers exist in every state, and the half dozen leading agricultural papers in the country are of the highest practical value and literary merit. It Is amazing how many farmers there are who do not take any farm papers and how many more there are who do not take a good farm paper. The second means is farmers' Institutes.

He will in them gain not only Information, but Inspiration. In the third place, there are home study courses, agricultural books, agricultural experiment station bulletins. Any young farmer who wants to jstudy advanced agriculture can find au almost-unending-supply or-goocL literature mate: heads. There was a time when agricul tural books were not of great value. Today there are dozens of first class agricultural books written -by thoroughly trained and practical men and Just as useful to the farmer as physicians' books are to the doctor. And, finally, in this class of agencies come the farmers' organizations, of which the grange is a type. The real work and purpose of the grange is education. All of its other purposes are subservient to this all embracing object ' Our fawners—are Just beginning to learn what an educator it is.' L*m more and more impressed as the years go by with the tremendous possibilities of the grange in educating farmers' sons for their vocation. . But the farmer's son must also remember that the day~has come when can and should get quite a share of his training for agriculture, In the schools. They are the second set of agencies. Every farmer's son who is to follow the vocation of his father should secure Just as much schooling as he can possibly g e t In the first plane he ought to have the privilege when he is a mere- lad of nature study in the rural school at home. When he has reached tbe age of thirteen or fourteen he should have, and In time will have, the chance to study the elemen* • y, m pun 11 i 1 l.i) ^ •f will not content Himself with schooling below that of the college. I do not mean to say that every farmer's' son ought to go to an agricultural college, but It ought to be understood that it will probably pay him to go to tbe agricultural college. The chances are •hat it will pay him If he wants to go back to the farm, and if be wishes to enter the increasing ranks of those who desire to teach agriculture or to experiment in agriculture the thorough college course in agriculture is absolutely Indispensable.

After three weeks there appears to be no abatement of the struggle be* iween the packers and the batchers. \ h e packers declare that they have practically-won their tjght^ a i d that the strikers are becoming demoralized. In direct opposition to this statement of the employers, the strike leaders assert tthat the. victory is with the workmen, and that it will be a matter of but a short time until the packers will be compelled to ask for peace. Leaders of the four allieu trades unions which went on strike in sym* jpathy with the packing house butchers are said by t^e packers to have made overtures for reinstatement. "According to the packers, the emissaries from these four skilled trades sought to learn upon *ha^terms the Strikers would be Tffiinstated, should they return in a body. The answer the packers gave to these peace missionaries was that the strikers would tie re-employed as fast as conditions might warrant, but only as individuals and not as members of any union. The strike leaders disclaimed any knowledge whatever of the action taken by the four unions, and repeated their assertions that the outlook for victory_.for the striking workmen was more satisfactory than ever. Some parties tried to Induce President Donnelly of the Butchers' union to appeal to President Roosevelt to offer Blr^good-ogtees— aad=4MHag-4he4 strike "to an end. Mr. Donnelly refused to consider the proposition. "We are winning the strike and need no help from the president," said Donnelly.

' The recovery of Lego, alias Porozeff, the assassin of Von Plehve, is practically certain. He is entirely conscious, although, suffering-acute pain in con- -sequence of the operation in extracting the splinters from his abdomen, faco -and arms. He speaks Russian fluently, butwfth a foreign accent, and declares hip hud no accomplices. The assassin carefully avoids- giving the slightest clue to his Identity. He admits that it was a carefully planned crime, says he was animated by humanitarian motives and does riot express the sllgbest regret.

T., on the east to Idaho on the west, the children of Pinckney, proud of their birthright, came here to meet and to greet the school companions of other days who had mained faithful to the place of their nativity. The two days were Bpent in renewing auld-time acquaintances, and in recalling events that bad taken place in the halcyon days of youth. Never before has Pinckney had within her limits such a large number of people. Everything orderly; no police were required; no inebriation was visible. It was Pinckney's red-letter day, and will be remembeied while N rememory lasts.

I am unable to say who first noticed the peculiar caprices of a stone or other heary~t>ody dropped from the top of a high tower, but it is nevertheless a curious fact that such objects invariably fall slightly to the east of the perpendicular line. 'Persons of inquiring turn of mind who ask why this is as it Is may find an answer in the following: All falling bodies partake of the earth's eastward motion to a greater or lesser extent. Therefore during the time occupied by a stone in falling from tbe . top of a high tower or other eminence the earth's rotary motion has carried it an appreciable distance to the east. The initial impetus of the stone has carried it to the eastward also, therefore it strikes the earth to tbe east of the perpendicular, varying in degree according to the height from which it has fallen.—Exchange. XfaauRMMto "Romma Hl«tory.» Some one has well said that but for the "Roman History" Mommsen would be a great man "taken on faith." That la probably true, but we have the "Roman History," perhaps the most remarkable piece of German literature written In the middle of the nineteenth century. It is a wonderful testimony to the power of humanity over humanity, that the most human work which Mouuusen wrote sbouM be the wost popular. The "Roman History" was the expression of the whole man, nrtd if ever it shonl I cease to have' value as Roman history it will never cease to IK? of value as a spiritual document, as a picture of the hopes ami ideals of Theodor Mommsen. Ry a happy chance when the book was brought into the world it appeared In the naked simplicity of its narrative without the swaddling Clothes of footnotes and sources. The clear cut style showed.Jlprth to its best advantage, m e world at large took its statements as faith.

This, however, was met b r witnesses who swore that Sam bad been seen by them in gambling and drinking saloons frequently for months prior to the attempted murder.

With the exception of gouth Carolina, my own state of West Virginia is a*> far south as any state that baa contuned to bold its plaee In the national grange. I know somethiag of what It has coat to hold my state in line and am acquainted with the influences and causes that produced dormancy south of Mason and Dixon's line and the Ohio river. It would profit little to relate those causes. Grange history rerite* that the conception of the Order originated in the mind of Brother p . H. Kelley while on a visit to the southern states soon after the great-ciril war and because he saw the need of a fraternal organisation that would bind the southern planters together and help build up their shattered fortunes. Those southern planters needed the grange then, and they need it now even more than then. I have never lost faith that the grange would again become strong among the southern ^farmers, and I am firmly of the opinion, that if the proper effort were made many, if not all, of the southern states could be brought Into the grange sisterhood of etetes^How to do it is the problem, ano it <roes not seem to me to be impossible of solution.„ The work must be done by southern men who are able and willing to be -sacrificed fer a great humanitarian principle—men above reproach, capable of being leaders of the southern farmers in every effort to develop % a $ * W i f f taeTuiflferslry of \$*ooff*fl; ate, being a member ot the first class, ~ that of 1654.

Miller (had that evening purchased two powders by prescription for his sick child 'and one of arsenic to kill a cat. The label 'poison' had not been well pasted on the arsenic, and Miller, having i opened the package on his way to the restaurant to see that it was all right, flropped the label without noticing the loss.

The most unpleasant lasting feature in the case was that rarroy"TTeople would not believe in such a singular coincidence as that leading to the nearly fatal blunder.

The accident that nearly cost Anna Guernsey her life and nearly sent Sam Clendenin to prison is no longer to them anything but an accident.

It means buying together and selling together, meeting together and talking together. It means to develop the brain as well as the muscular powers of man. It means much more, but this is illustration enough to prove its right to a share of your time. The lecturer who directs the mental improvement of the members of their grange should aim to instruct and up- Uft as well as entertain. We are looking ^to the common school as the place where the future men and women will receive the education necessary for them to perpetuate this republic. We are looking to the grange as the farmers' high school where the great class of agriculturists shall receive that practical training which is fitting them to »jibly fill any position oTTfUst or~h~oliOT T h e W a l l of t a e V i c t i m .

Co-operate Ia\ Bmyiaaj. That many more dollars might be saved grangers by co-operation in buying their farm supplies than they do save seems quite evident. The fact is co-operation is too much ^a theory, too little a practice. But here is a concrete instance given in the words of a West Virginia Patron: "I have just unloaded 14,500 pounds of barbecT wire and some nails.' My book shows this wire went to thirtyfive farmers at'a saving of 80 cents on the hundred pounds, or $115. "Our orders this spring have reached nearly $700 for wire, nails, plows, sugar and building material, at a saving of from 25 to 50 per cent. The merchants are asking the question, How does it come the grange can get these articles, delivered here for less than we I can buy at?

Each measured the other with a glance, and as their eyes met there was exchanged a look which meant that henceforth and; forever :hese two were enemies to the death. For the moment, however, the feeling that controlled Ilda Barosky was one of deepest love for the exiled father whom she was to clasp to her heart after the long and bitter years of separation. She cast an anxious glance at the countess, who stood regarding her with a feeling of bitterest hate. Katherlne saw before her her deadliest foe. It was to this girl she^r owejLall .the -humiliation she_ had. felt, all the deep disappointment in store for her, If Alexis' marriage to Olga should not take place. "My father—he-is,here?" said Ilda, "and I shall see him? I shall see him once again?" - "That depends upon yourself." Katherlne spoke these words, looking at Ilda. There was something in the tone and in the look that placed [Ida instantly on her guard. She felt, she knew not why, that she was to be made the victim of a cruel He. With an effort she suppressed her feelings and said: "I do not understand you, madame,"- "i am the Countess Katherlne Karslcheff, wife of the minister of police, and it was by my suggestion and at my desire that your father has been brought here to receive his pardon." "When was he brought he-e, madame?" The question annoyed Katherine. Ilda noticed the effect and her suspicions became stronger. "That is not for you to know," said the count 3ss, after a momentary pause. "It is sufficient fcr you when r"*ejr * • is here and that his pardon wftl tee framed on one condition." ^Ha'#*eart beat rapidly. "And :i»ir* - .

"Let me see my father—let me hear his voice —let me feel the grasp of his hand before I answer." "It is impossible.

"You are here to sue for mercy,"r she said, "not to ma.ke conditions, "I am not here to sue for mercy. I am here by the written request of ^ e minister of police. His letter states that my father is here. I demand to see the minister "himself." , The countess drew herself up haughtily. "Insolent girl," she said, "you forget yourself, as you did last night.

He loves me! I shall be his wife!".cried Ilda. "His wife! Ha! ha! ha!" Katherlne's ironical laughter waa almpst maniacal in its wildness. "His wife! The only intention Alexis Narimoff ever held regarding you was to make you his plaything—not his wife!" "Woman, you lie!" Hday Toused' to uncontrollable passion by the stinging words of the countess, hurled the lie in her teeth with a fyry equal to that of Katherine herself, and with heaving bosom she stood gazing defiance at her maddened ami baffled enemy. At the* same instant the door opened and General Karslcheff entered from the library, while Nicholas, who had just r e t u r n ^ ed, appeared at the other door. Katherine, wrought up to uncontrollable frenzy, caught the arm of her husband, and in words so shrill as to be almost a scream of rage demanded instant vengeance. "J accuse her," she exclaimed, pointing to Ilda; "she insulted the czar, last night, I accuse her. She is here—in my powers—punish her—»1 demand it; punish her now! Do you here now, with the whip. She must feel the lash till she writhes beneath it, till, she crawls on her knees for merey to me!" "Katherine; for God's sake, control yourself," appealed Condtantlne. "Your voice can be heard -in the square," he said. "Then act—act now!" yelled Katherine. The door leading" to the library cpened. General Cobb and the baroness appeared. "Hello!" said the American, as he caught sight of Ilda and recognized her as the girl of the night before— the woman whom Alexia vowed should be his wife—"it is Ilda Barosky." Ilda, hearing her name in no unfriendly voice, turned to the speaker, and hurriedly stepped to his side. "Help me," she appealed, "help me! I am in their power without a friend." "Well, not while I am on deck," said Cobb. "What is the matter?" . "Stop, sir!" commanded Karsich,eff. "This is the privaTe 'onlce of~the mftF ister of police. You have no right here. I demand that you withdraw!" "Certainly! But first I must hear what this^girl has to say. She has appealed to me for protection." "I have been brought in here by a trick—by a letter signed by the "minister of police," hurriedly began Ilda. Nicholas springing forward stopped her. "Hold! you have no right to speak—I command you to stop. You, sir," he continued, "you have heard my father's order. Leave the roomleave the house!" "Read that, sir." said Ilda, attempting to hand the letter o": the countess to General Cobb. Nicholas rushed between Cobb and Ilda, and holding her at arm's length, ho said: "You cannot give that letter to any one. It belongs to^the minister of police. I again command you," he said, addressing Cobb, "to leave the room," The baroness quickly passed back of Nicholas, and taking the paper from Ilda, handed It to Cobb with the rebark: "Thejetter is on ze go!" Cobb opened t4ie paper instantly. "Hello," he said, "the girl's father here—where is her father?" Katherine, who had been almost suffocating with rage all this time, now found her voice again.

The greatest trouble is that the farmer does not know the new weeds till they have "/JSOTZ7X2T KXf TO 7JT.Y r£4/?J' mite bombs, and a tunnel leading to the street along which his majesty the emperor was to have passed today." "It is enough," triumphantly exclaimed Karslcheff. "Ilda Barosky, you have been found plotting the assassination of the czar. I sentence you to ten yef.rs' imprisonment 4n Siberia!" "Good God, man," cried Cobb, "you are Inhuman on such testimony to pass a sentence like that!" The baroness, overcome by excitement, sank on a lounge and Cobb flew to her assistance. "What of the others, excellency?" said Radaloff, addressing the minister. "They are in the courtyard below., Shall they be sent first to the fortress, or shall they be brought before you. Her brother is among them!" Her brother! ^-— The words caught the ear, of the countess! "Her brother is also arrested! You hear, general, her brother! He, too, must suffer!

"Action now—merciless severity," whispered Nlrh'nlaa,-1'JJLIH your only at Cobb, "ruffian, leavo the room or we will have you arrested."

"I'll hear no more!" shouted Karsihope, and," he added in a lower tone to himself, "but a faint hope at that." A tramp of soldiers outside caused all present to turn their eyes in the direction of the ante-chamber. The door opened.

Ivan was brought before him. , "Your name?" "Ivan Barosky." "You were captured this morning in the Nihiliot rendezvous?" "I was arrested this morning," was the reply of Ivan. "You admit then your guilt?" "I admit nothing." "What! Do you deny that you were in this den of assassins?" "I deny nothing." Karsicheff became filvrjous.

Good and Poor 8eed Corn. Recently in passing a new field of corn, a resident farmer -remarked to the writer on the variability of seed corn, as to germinability. In the field a large part of the corn was coming up beautifully. In the other part of the field almost none was to be seen, the demarcation between the two sections being as distinct as if a straight line had been drawn through the field and one-half left unplanted. Yet the whole field was planted bn~the same day with corn bought from two neighbors. The corn, too, was of the same variety; yet the seed corn saved by one man came up well and of the other hardly at all. The farmer was asked what made the difference and replied that it must have been in the way of taking care of the seed or of the maturity of the corn at the time it was harvested. It is easy to suppose that the farmer that furnished the worthless seed planted his own farm with it and had his work all to do over again. This Is a lesson as to the value of good seed corn, and the unwisdom of planting seed without knowing whether it Is good or noO. Improvidence in this matter is the cause of the failure of many a far, mer. Digging Potatoes.

It does not pay to use the cheap make-shifts that are sometimes sold for potato diggers. Such implements usually carry soil, potatoes and all along with them and the tubers have- to be dug out of the heap, which is more trouble than digging them with a fork or hoe In the first place. When only a few acres of potatoes are to be harvested, hand digging will prove to be the acceptable method. As soon as dug the tubers should be picked up and barreled or sacked as the case may be.. The practice of making great piles thato lie in the sun for hours should not be tolerated, as this Injures them to some extent. The sorting will generally be easiest done in the field at time of picliing up. The merchantable ones can be picked out by one man and another can take all that remain. Forestry in Texas. The United States Department of Agriculture is mafting estimates of the forest areas of Texas. We generally think of Texas as a state of immense prairies stretching in every, direction. It is found that Texas has the largest wooded area of any state in the Union, that area being now not less than 64,000 square miles. Of this at least 27,000 square miles consist of merchantable timber. This .does not include ine chaparrai growih" About 60 varieties of trees commercially 1mp a l t e f t e portant are reported.

"For two years I was troubled with what my physician said was the old fashioned dyspepsia. • "There was nothing I could eat but 20 or 30 minutes later I would be spitting my food up in quantities until I would be very faint and weak.

Probably the chief reason why children are so fond of fairy tales is because of the seeming reality such stories have for the*m. The enchanted palaces, the wonderful transformations, the mysterious people and animals that talk, is for the imaginative child much nearer the real than it is to the fantastic. Of course he admires heroism, and in these tales such heroic deeds can be done, and to him they do not appear as strange as we may think they d a In fact, the fanciful child takes the same interest in the fairy tale that the adult does in the book of fiction, where improbable but perhaps not impossible things happen.

Those who are not its friends would be only too glad to see the Order interested in partisan political tends and contests, w e have a very strong notion thattan official of a state or the national grange should never become a candidate for any Important office so long aa he holds such official position. We commend the following resolution adopted by tbe Connecticut state grange recently to every other state organisation: Resolved, That the state grant* of Connecticut, leyal to its past record, wUl ever hold ltaelf aloof from all partisan polities Snd will strenuously oppose any action that will tend to array any one class of onr dtlsens against any other. The honor, good name and prosperity of the good T * e Qramsje De>Yele>ps Taleat. One advantage of the grange is to develop talent Many a fanner, until he joins the grange and has taken part in Its literary and educational work, finds it difficult to speak five minutes on an assigned topic in any public meeting with any degree of interest to his hearers. He had not before believed that he could write a paper on any subject that would be worth the reading. Aa one farmer said, "I would rather hitch up and drive a mile to carry information than write one postal card." But in tiie grange he finds opportunity to formulate his ideas into words, and often there is found to be rare worth in what he has to say. The grange educates in many ways. It helps men to know themselves. the dry spell is orote*. As we g e to press, Wednesday afternoon a fins rain is visiting this •action.

THB GREAT S U C C E S S .;/ O P id Home W e e k ! »1 M t * * t « M * M H < * « ( H ( » » M t * l y^m** GB A N ^ i N 0 ^ L O R I O U S w a s the sunshine, balmy and refreshing tye breezes in Pinckney on August 3 and 4,1904! Nature seemed a willing coadjutor of the citizens of Pinckney in their tirele* 3 efforts to make the home-coming of her self-expatriated sons and daughters the success such an object deserved. And they came— they came by the scores, by the hundreds! And what a splendid array of men and women from the four cornors of the earth they were! Old age, middle age, youth and infancy were among the visitors. And Pinckney's people opened their homes and their hearts and bade them welcome. And so they were—each and all of them! They were as glad to be here as we were to have them once more among us. Our town was gaily decorated with flags and buntwhile the word "WELCOME" was prominent everywhere; the >mes of our citizens never looked more invitin^Jisitors ~ited—citizens satisfied. Pinckney's first essay at the lent of her children who had made their homes in other plaoes was successfully launched, successfully carried through, and at 12 o'clock on Thursday night, when- tired nature demanded a respite from the two days' strain, SUCCESS shone from the eyes and glowed, from the faces of all. From the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic and from the Straits to the Mesican Gulf, children of Pinckney had made pilgrimages to do honor to the place of their birth. Some of these pilgrims had prospered in worldly affairs in their new homes. Some are bankers, merchants, lawyers, editors,—but they all met. here as the common sons and daughters of a common heritage. They were very much pleased and gratified at the successful efforts of our citizens to give them welcome, and they were not in the least chary in expressing their approval. Farmers and their families from miles around augmented the merry throng. It was estimated that there were £,000 people at the park on Thursday afternoon. There was no hitch in the proceedings; everything moved along nicely, and all throughout the throng the dominant note was one of gladness. To the visiting sons and daughters of Pinckney we extend tLe hand of brotherly love, and bid them remember that in 1906 Pinckney will try to outdo her efforts of 1904. Wednesday, Aug. 3, the first day of St. Nary'* Annual Tlcnlc. The annual picnic of St. Mary's pariah was held on Thursday last. The rain of the day previous had laid the dost, and Thursday was an ideal day for the event. The crowd was the largest 'that ever attended the picnic, and al| entered into the enjoyment of the occasion with a sett. There was the usual big dinner, and over 600 sat down at the tables. The speeches were excellent, but the ball game —-Chelsea Stars vs. Howell Independents*— was the drawing card, aud there were over 600 who paid to see the game, which was won by Howell by a score of 9 to 4. The game was clean from start to finish. Umpire, Otis Brown. The dance at the opera house in the evening was largely attended, nearly 150 tickets being sold. Taken altogether, it was one of the most successful picnics ever, held, and the society topk in|000. • i 0 i m ; L.OCAL, N E W S . the Old Boys' and Girls' Reunion, was a hammer. The weather bureau favored us with a beautiful day, and the crowd bepan to Rather early. Those who bad not arrived previously came in train loads, and by 3 o'clock there was a large crowd and the success of the reunion waa assured. Many of the old/nns-said that every 11—their Idaho, umpired the game in an im- &n trying to come, and all Partial manner. lated the committee on their EerprTse in bringing about such an enjoyable occasion. All found relatives or friends to meet and care for their wants, and at the noon honr many families gathered around the well laden tables and enjoyed a family reunion. The home-coming of our "old boys and girls" was in the main very pleasant. Ot course there were some families where the hand of death had caused heartaches, but the rejoicing— over meeting many living friends overbalanced grief, and all enjoyed the reunion of friends, relatives and schoolmates of the long ago. In returning to Pinckney they did ;not find the ruins of a once prosperous village, as is sometimes the caje, but they found that the old home town, while it had not grown as rapidly as some others, had enjoyed a healthy growth, and is cleaner, brighter and better than ever. Many ot thVo]d landmarks that were remonv bered by some had been burned down, but all have been replaced by iflbsUntlal buck buildings, and all o of Oak Grove arrived, 28 strong, and the music rendered enlivened the day At 3 o'clock the ball game—Howell vs. Pinckney—took the crowd to Johnson's park, where an interesting game' was witnessed, the score being 4 to 4 up to the last half of the ni.ith inning, when Pinckney made one score, winning the game; Mr. Otis Brown of them occupied. The residents have always taken pride in their homes, and most of them are ffeehlv painted every two or three years, ana there are no/'tumhle-down shantiet" to mar the beauty o*W iMane. Taken altogether^ the "old I girls" returned fee one of^ne village* in the state of Michig J"-tii^yA^r The reception in the evening was an event long to be remembered. The opera house was "jammed," and hundreds could not even get inside the doors. An attempt was made to see that all the '"old boys and girls" received seats, but even that was impos sibie. E. R. Brown, president of the village, presented the key in a pleasant manner, and E.

"Two large Armenian bands marcning to Sassun to help the insurgent leader Antranlk attacked the garrisons at Mossunzory and Goutchagh for revenge on July 25. At dawn bombs were thrown into these places, killing many, and severe fighting ensued. "A majority of the soldiers were killed and the garrisons resembled graveyards.

FROM THE PENCIL'S POINT. Filipino* In White H o m e Picturesquely, but quite adequately garbed, a party of eight Moro and lfforrote chiefs, constituting a part of the Philippine exhibit at the St. Louis exposition, paid their respects to Pres- ^lingering for weeks between IIIL iimS/ death, foritier U. S. Senator G.'O. Vest passed peacefully away a* Sweet Springs, Mo., Tuesday. He bad been so near death for the past three days that the end came without, a struggle. He was conscious until nbout 2 a. m. Sunday morning, when he sank into a state of coma from which he never aroused. The exchanges between the chiefs and the president were informal, but happy in their tone. Through Antero, a bright 15-year-old Igorrote boy, who acted as Interpreter, the Moro dattos and the lgorrote(chiefs expressed their pleasure at being received by the president and told him he might depend upon their loyalty to the American government. A lucky man seldom believes in luck. Money makes der antomobubble go der pace doi kills. A foolish man is one who thinks he understands women.

Life, like every other blessing, derives its value from its use alone. Do not emphasize your own virtues by enlarging on the failings of others.

Following the ultimatum given the packers by the Butchers' union that a general strike would go into effect Wednesday, the order became operative at the time set. The plants affected are those affiliated with the "beef trust.'* A difference of opinion exists already as to the number of men on strike; the union opinion being that the strike is complete, while the packers state that only about 50 per cent of the men have left, and that these places will be quickly filled. 8KETCH MAP OF PORT ARTHUR AND ITS ENVIRONMENT, SHOWING HILLS CAPTURED BY T H E JAPANESE ADVANCE.

G. P. Brown of Brooklyn, N.Y., read an original poem, which may also be found in full in this issue. Miss Franc Burch of Detroit gave an original reading and responded to an encore. Miss Burch is certainly deserving of much credit. as_sbe is a reader ttl the first tank and can hold an audience spell-bound. Pinckney may be proud to number her among her former daughters. Mrs. Kate Kearney Brown read a poem written by'Prol. Sprout over thirty years ago entitled "The Old spelling School,' which brought to lie winds of tbe oidir once those good old days when the battle of words between rival districts tauphttbe youngsters the art oi spellirg better than any latter-day method, as well as giving them more confidence. - more formal proceedings- were turned loose. No sewing circle of half a century ago ever had busier tongues wagging, but, instead of idle gossip, which often carried the sting of jealousy or hatred, there was the "Do you remember?" Bweetened—yes, sanctified—by the honest, hearty laugh, or by other evidence of sincere emotion as the answer was given. Dinner was served on cloths spread under the trees. The groups, made up of those most intimately acquainted, swapped stories and food with one another, and coffee was served to all from a great cauldrou. Soon after dinner all were summoned to a platform in the center of the grove, where there werr many impromptu speeches by the orators among the groups. George Sykes made a capital master of ceremonies. Armed with a neck-yoke from one of the carriages, he quieted the noisy tongues aud made clever hits in his introductions of the other speakers. Among the speakers were Eddie Kearney, Frank L. Brown, W. P. Van Winkle, Father Comerford and the venerable Dr. Henry Haze. The remarks of Dr. Haze were o special interest because of bis relationship with Dr. Charles W. Haze, who, while living, owned tbe grove in which the picnic was held, and whose memory is so pleasant to all who have called Pinckney Mrs, Dede Minn also read a poem their home.

TH'E EVENTS OF THURSDAY. Not less lhan two thousand persons gathered in Haze's Giove on Thursday morning for the picnic. Practically all of these were old boys and girls who frolicked under the branches of the same trees when they were young. Many and many a time had they eaten here and told stories, but never did cold chicken and apple pie taste so good, and never did the voice of friend-soutrd so sweet. It was>one of the most enjoyable occasions Pinckney had ever known. Although everybody had greeted everybody the day before, the hand shake and the *'8o glad to see you" were as hearty as "any that ever passed between friend and friend, The weather was supremely delightful and the feed abundant. The tool tingles and the month waters as the recollection of-it all comes back, for the food and the coffee had their part in it.

W.Sykee, 10&2 Champlaie street, Detroit Vice-President- E. T. Kearney, Jackson, Neb, Secretary—F. L. Andrew*, Pinckney. Treasurer—G. W Teeple, Pinckdey. It was suggested that the* first week in August each year be known a* "Old Home Week." and all who can do so make it a point to visit the old home that week, when they will stand a chance of seeing many old friends, The regular meeting of the "old boye and girl*" will probably occur every two years. The amount of the annual dues has not yet been decided upon, but will be made known aa soon as the officer* decide. The aeeoclatiun starts out with some money in the treasury and the best of feeling amoug alt. Percy G. Teeple. spent His boyhood and early manhood. He graduated from tbe medical department of the University of Michigan at Ann i * - bor in 1861, and the following year left for the war, having J e w appointed assisiant snrgeon of tar old Fonrth Michigan regiment. At the close of the war he lo^ajed in Pontiac, where he has TemOTM ever since, and is one of theliiip influential men of the town. Mr. Teeple was born in Pi nek aey, Mich., November 9, 1870 He received his early education was for many years a member o the school board; he served on the stateis pension board, and is at the present time surgeon of the Michigan Military Academy at Orchard Lake. He has many friends here, as the hearty welcome he received from the "old boys and girls" showed, and we are always glad to see him in Pinckney. G e o . W.

Then all went to an adjoining field and witnessed an ex-J partially i n t h e "old red s c h o o l citing game of baseball between the An-j house", a u d later in tbe'liew. F o r derson and Ann Arbor clubs. There was dancing in the evening at the opera house, the objects .of which were both pleasure and a benefit, from the ' 'old boys ane girls" for "Blind Billy" Hoff, who played the violin for Jhem on many such occasions when they we e young. The hall was, crowded and the program consisted of the old-fashioned dances with which all were familiar. An interesting feature was the part taken by many who had never before danced in a cotillon. Religious scruples and personal choice were relegated to the rear when the welfare of old friends and the success of their reunion were mentioned.' ^ Tbe day ended as it began, beautiful and happy, but richer in realization than it had been in anticipation. The unprecedented success of the twodays' home-gathering, and the pleasure exptiicnced by visitors and citisens alike, are ample recompense to the committee having the matter in charge, and now our citizens tutu to the future, hoping the next meeting will be equal, if not superior, to the FIRST REUXION OF THE OLD BOYS AND GIRLS, held on August 3 and 4,1904.

He has been employed by the same firm ever since and lived in the same house. Mr. Syktfs was the chief mover in the instituting of the "Oil Boys' and Girls'" reunion here, and to him is due much of its success. H3 is an allround good fellow, and there are many worse ones in jail. The grandfather of Geo. W. Sykes, with his family, settled in Putnam township in 1834, just on6 half mile westof where the the village now stands but before there was any signs of a village.

Far from that, it is quite as remarkable In its way as the famous Court of Honor of the Columbian Exposition. In one respeet it is even mere notable, for instead of two grand vistas it offers a dosen. The main vista is,,of course, the one look* ing up the Plaza of St Louis—whose crowning feature is the great Louisiana Purchase Monument-—and across the Grand Basin to the "Cascade Gardens. On the right are the Varied Inpilgrims coming to this shrine, t a d from all our stages and territories •Jiexfi is a constantly growing throng at visitors. United States Senators, Govasnors of States, men eminent in •clecce, art and letters—all express annualized admiration for the Exposition and free acquiescence in the oftrepeated statement that this is by*far the greatest and best universal exposition ever held. • i During July a well-known magazine and newspaper writer from Now York, Mr. Addison Steele, spent a week at the World's Fair, inspecting the grout ds, buildings and various attractions as thoroughly as was possible in that limited peripd. Returning home, Mr. Steele published in Brooklyn Life the following appreciative comments on the Exposition: In the expressive language of the cay,' St. Louis "has the goods." I had expected much of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, for I had ' kept in touch with the making of it from its •ery inception, five' years ago; but after nearly a week of journeying through this new wonderland I must confess that in every essential particular it is far beyond my expecta- ^"Tlons.

For its handle the fan has the Cascade Gardens—rising in a grand terrace to a height of sixty-five feet above the floor level of the buildings mentioned and crowned by the great Festival Hall, the Terrace of States end the East and West Pavilions—and the Fine Arts building directly behind. * * • The Pike has in the Tyrolean Alps the finest concession that I have ever seen. There is a great square with many quaint buildings, a little village infinite variety* and as a rule- the full money's worth is given. The enormous Jerusalem and Boer War concessions are not on the Pike. _ _ » ' : • • _ . < _ : . , — tt is a case of dine at the German Pavilion and din at the exposition. In a beautiful Moderne Kunst building adjoining Das Deutsche Haus the best fcod and the highest prices on the grounds are to be found, the table d'hote lunch and dinner costing two and three dollars, respectively. There is also a la carte service. Everything considered, the prices are not excessive, and at least one meal should be taken there for the experience. Another should be taken at the Tyrolean dustries and ElootfloUy buildings and-} Alps, either outdoors or la the gorstreet, and above tne snow-clad mountains— which look very real as the geous dining-room in the mountainside. The best French restaurant is at Paris, on the Pike, Lower in prices and in every way admirable are the two restaurants conducted by Mrs. Rorer in the pavilions of Cascade Gardens. The east one has waitresses^ and no beer and the west one waiters and beer. For a bit of lunch Germany, France and England all offer delicious pastry in the Agricultural building. These are not free ads, but time-saving tips for the traveler.

Ancient Picts in England were called by the Celtic word "pehta" or fighters. This was Latinized into Picti. So,* too, Barbary of the ancient maps is a monument to the miscalling of the Berber tribe by the Gr,eek word signifying "barbarian." Even the legend of the victory of Guy of Warwick over the dun cow-Is assailed by ruthless etymologists, who, insist upon its derivation from his conquest over the "Dena gau," or Danish settlement, at the champion's gates. The Celtic words 'alt maen" are responsible for trlvance for giving a locomotive its trial trip without leaving the scene of its construction is in operation. The feature of the testing plant is that the •engine, after being placed oh the machine,Tuns on wheels fitted with tires which correspond to the trend and section of the permanent way. A clever braking arrangement secures a representation of the diffl-, cultles encountered in running on the metals and all the tests usually made on a trial trip can be conducted inside the works with all the appliances at hand. The dangers of a breakdown and subsequent blocking of the main line are thus obviated and the work of experimenting is simplified. This machine is the invention of the locomotive superintendent, J. G. Churchward, and la said to be the only one In Europe.

It is a picture poor in detail, but rich in signification. I It is the old red school house 20 years | ago, and in that group before the open ; door stand many of us. It was my fortune to be the principal teacher in that old building for 15 years. I began teaching in 1865. An addition had been made to the original building, and the school started off with two departments, my sister Mary having charge of the primary room. The following names were •Present. tD«*asod. In the spring of 1868 the school was suspended by the advent of smallpox in the village. During the next three years three teitcliefi^ i l f " ^ ^ old red schoolhouse, and the school was reduced to a state of chaos. Then Mr. G. P. Brown, one of the old boys, was hired. Mr. B. was a man of energy, scholarship and good sense,—one of the kind that will never grow old. Under his skillful management the school was regenerated. Order, enthusiasm and progress re-entered to stay, and when, in 1873, he resigned and I was reengaged I had but to follow in his footsteps. During the year 1876-7 Ralph Sellman was principal. At the close of the year he resigned and I was elected to succeed him. During all the time I was principal of the schooi prior to 1877 my sister was my assistant, but late in the fall of this year a lady came into the primary room to teach whose name appears in the list just read as Lizzie Crofoot. She had in the meantime become related to me by marriage. We taught four years when we resigned, and Mulford Reed and Miss Kate Brown were our successors for two years. Then the school again came under my supervision and remained so for fifteen years. In 1887 Each ow receiving a letter looked it over eetfefujly. marking esc* mistake in spellliijrr groom ar, etc;, aad charging tbe writer, according to a axed rate, for every error. The total charge the writer had to pay to the receiver. The a n t result was that a good n ny l'ttplla toon became bankrupt and had to go borrowing, while others got rich rapidly. Much interest w u manifested and much lmpr vement made. I have here • little package of letters written to me by some oMfee ''old boys aad girls" of '6B-W. At »8 years' distance they are treasure* tbat money ooald not bay. On Friday afternoon we usually bad formal compositions.

H^ was born^Oct. 29, 1848, on the old homestead of Dr. Isaac Brown, his grandfather, two miles east of _W«fctoey, His fnther was Mr. 0«6W. Brown, who died some IfcfX years ago. His mother, Mrs, Sarah Brown, lives in Pinckney and is in good health. Mr. Brown taught his firstschool when he was 17 years old. I|e was afterward principal of Pinckney public school and*of that-at JJnion City and principal of' the high school at Pontiac. He received part of his early education in Pinckney under the painstaking guidance of Prof. William A. Sprout, and he graduated from the University of MichjgMI with the class of 1877. " f t was his intention to follow Jtoiftfcing, but chance threw him into the vortex of daily newspaper work, and he remained in it. He is now the New York lepresentative of the editorial department of, the Chicago Chronicler— — He married Miss Emma Sigler, the daughter of John Sigler, who belongs to the ranks of the "old boys a.nd girls." They studied afterward together and taught togflt. hftr. Theyliave two children: Wm JMbbel, who has acquired I Hit musing ia-tke twilight,— In the evening'* fading glow,—' And in vision pots before me Days and year* of long ago. Yon and I »g«iu are living In a world that knows no care,— In the tender age of childhoodi— , All our sweetest memories there. We are dancing in the sunlight; We are laughing in the rain; Weary only, or unhappy, When o'ercome by sleep or pain. Flowers, birds and sparkling sunshine", As we frolic in the tields; Toys and games for indoor play When to night the daylight yields,— All. are grouped within this picture Which our memory paiuts so clear, And a halo hovers near tnem As though heavsn itself werf here. If a cloud obscures our pleasure In its passing now and then ; If a tear reveals a sorrow Caused by whim, perchance by paiu; Cloud soon passes, and the tear drop Leaves no line upon the face, For a mother's love has dried it Ere it finds a resting place, Precious childhood! Where the artist Who but faintly can reveal the sweet innocence, the virtues, Of a life which is ideal? Where the writer and the language To portray the faith and trust Of a child in all things living,— In a fate, perhaps unjust? Childhood passes, and new voices Now are calling us awny From our paradise of pleasure, From our aimless, idle play. Youth, they tell us, as we listen, Shrinkingly, in fear and doubt, Now demands of us endeavor,— Now requires our earnest thought. v Out into the world we venture,— Oh, how wide and long it seems; Far surpassing all the pictures Of our fancies, of our dreams. Overwhelmed with sense of vastness, As though plunging into space, We direct our footsteps Bchooi-ward, Where begins life's long, long race. Like a haze in Indian summer, All that passes on that day' When we first sit on the benches And forget our childish play, Clouds our minds and we remember little else than that the soul Is now struggling for its freedom From restraint, for self-control. Oh, Ine^fiprtess, old red schoolhouse! Just Sour walls, a roof and doors; Grimy Widows, tottering chimney, Whittled desks and creaking floors. Long and low, it is unsightly, Squatting in a patch of green, In a rough and barren common, AH though fearing to be seen. t) * ill as an artist, and has recently gradu- &'"'&*« fte Brooklyn .high enter college this Not a map or cheering picture Hangs upon the dingy wall; Neither globe_nor compass aids us To remember half of all That is taught us of this puzzling Round old world that goes spinning Off through space as though quite heedless Of its ending or beginning. No artistic crayon pencil Writes our problems on.the board, And no polished felt eraser Does our humble school afford. What we proudly call our blackboard la a board and nothing more, Blackened once with paint, but later Gray and greasy as the floor. «nrprift^ liber • % % . - *& »*rt Dim tlie tigures, blank the writing, Oftentimes, we try to place 0« the rough and fading surface, Ou this relic of a race That existed in past ages. And had used it,—there's no doubt,— In the caves it called its dwellings, Barring storms and wild beasts out. Crude and cruel are the benches Where we sil from, day to day; Short legs dangling, long ones curling, As the floor gets in the way. Is it wouder that we harbor Deep resentment, and employ Our aid jackkoives in the carviugs Wpich time only can destroy? Stand we now before the teacher, Dumb with awe at all he- knows; Trembling lest hU deep displeasure We incur and feel his blows. For we know by intuition, Or from tales by children higher, That the slightest deviation From the rules provokes his ire. Drawling out iu listless manner Letters "A" and "B" and "C, As directed, but not knowing What their use may ever be, We receive our first day's lesson And are profited, 'tis clear, Much as parrots are repeating Words and phrases which they hear. Our first lesson! What a picture! Straight we stand at teacher's knee, Open mouthed and all expectant, Trembling like an iufant tree AFtbe fo6T of somFffiajestic^ ——- Gnarled old oak, as gentle breeze Which the parent heeds not, feels not, Seems its very life would seize. What is learning? Do we need it? Will it make us large and st :ong Like the man whp.sits before us? Will our lives be good and long — If we listen and remember All the names of those queer Bigns He calls letters? How their angles Seem to fascinate our minds! Soon the alphabet is mastered And our proudest day has come, When we read and write and figure On our first bewildering "sum." Harsh the methods of our teachers In these early days of school. With mind training less important Than observance of a'rule. For a whisper to our neighbor, Though it be as soft and low As the breath of summer evening, Brings us punishment, we know. Still we whisper, taking chances, Not because of innate sin, But because our youthful spirits Will not stay locked up within. Oft the drudgery of the school room \ Is relieved by harmless pranks, For which, speaking mildly, do we Hardly get the teacher's thanks. «v\?» THE PRESENT HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING. Sighing for the sweets of pleasure Which they brought us day by day, Grieving thai we disregarded Much of good along, our way. If we only might look forward, As we now have seen the past,— See the pitfalls, know the dangers, Find tiue friendships,—at the last, When the final page is written Of tk£ Btory of our lives, There might then be something worthy Of the praise for which each strives. In this retrospect 'tis fitting That we linger for a word In remembrance of the comrades Who, while sleeping, have not heard The glad summons to reunion Of the town's old boys and girls. Though they come uot, we forget not. As time ever onward whirls. Mnch we owe among our elders, Who tong-stnco have passod away, To one grand and noble spirit. Whose sweet influence will stay To inspire us, to protect us, Until death has claimed us all,— Whose deep sympathy and counsel .Have saved many from a fall. Epitaphs are written only After men are dead and gone- And the tombstone is the witness Of the good which they have done. Would it harm them if they, also, Knew while living what the world Has been tardy to acknowledge,— If to them it were unfurled? ibLet us try it. On this platform, In our presence, is a soul Which is shining like a beacon At our final, happy goal. Leads it now, aB it has ever, On and upward, straight and true. Have we followed? Shall we follow? It will neither wreck nor rue. Teacher,friend, and kind companion; Honest, faithful, ever true; All his life an inspiration; All his faults both small and few. = rProfit we by his example, More than ever can be told. So we honor and we bless him, Aye, we crown him, hot with gold. Thus from boys of little stature, And from girls of slighter build, With our minds just budding shyly, In a soil but poorly tilled, ' We soon grow to adolescence, To the life that has new charm, When we find our tasks grow lighter , lL we bear them arm-in arm. So we- tell a uumrade slyly,— He or she of other sex,— In a note in secret posted, How our problems tease and vex. And the answer is so helpful That we write and write again, But not always of our studies, Jt is very, very plain. From the missive of the school room, MAIN STREET. PINCKNEY, MICHIGAN, IN THE SIXTIES. From the gentle word expressed Of the sympathy and favor Of mere boys and girls confessed, Often springs tiie love which binds them In a comradeship for life,— .Boy :»nd girl who trust each other May become the man and wife. Charmed the days we spend in study, Poring over books that tell How to make our lives more useful And bring happiness as well. True, our school work is machine like, As we figure, write and read To fulfill the old-time maxim That the "R's" are all we need ; But the cravings for more knowledge Than these elemental bring Soon transforms the lifeless texfchoo.. Into active, living thing. Like a friend with hand extended, When his help we sorely need, Is the dear old thumb-worn school book; It is more than friend, indrodr— School days are not all for study; ' Recreation claims its share, And our whole-souled youthful pastimes Rob oar lives of useless care.' of Pinckney than I do. My father and I went up to the Marble farto a year or more before the Tillage waa laid out. We owned the Charlie Wood farm at the time. We went to Pinckney to li?e in the spring of 1843. Pinckney has had some distinguished citizens. Profe&sor Kirkland and his wife, the author of "The Home in the West," came from the presidency of a female seminary in Detroit and afterward had charge of a like seminary, in New York. Judge Stansbury, a New York lawyer, and Dr. Stansbury, a New York physklarT,who were brothers- ©f Mrs. Kirkland. Mrs. Stansbury was a Scottish music teacher in York. So you see Pinckney was founded and settled by highly educated and distinguished people."

All the past is now behind us; Soon tomorrow will appear; Then another, and another, Till the last of all is here. A Pew "Yarns," Spun by Old Boys and Girls. While listening to some of the old boys spin yarns, we heard something like tbis: •*Do you remember how when a youth you filled your old bat lull of water at the spring, and, standing with one toe in the sand and the other on a flag stone, threw back your head and imbibed your fill of the sweetest nectar in thn world? Of course it spoiled the shape of your hat, but, if back to that period of bumble Ijee stint?, we would drink from our Sunday tile if, we could go bare feet and Let us hope thai day is distant,— And will find its journey long, While we often lift our voices In reunion's happy song.

L. Andrews, Pinckney, Mich.—My Dear air: I think the one thing most conspicuous in the ."old boys1 and girls' days'" doings was the gratification, the pleasure, the perfect abandon of delight shining from every face. I fancied I tad heard old Gabriel's trump, and tbat the resurrection morn was upon us, and tbat tbe good had just entered paradise. I want to make a proposition to the people of Pinckney, and to all who sympathised with or had any part in the borne-eoming movement, and tbat is that all the old tomahawks, big and little, of whatever name or nature, tbat we have been hacking at each other with, be buried, and buried so deeply that all tbe earthquakes of all the ages can never uncover their again. Let an era of good feeling be inaugurated? Let us, with clean hearts, lofty aims and cbaiitable feel ing, start in the race anew. It will give us a new lease of life and a new i hold on heaven.

As one passes up and d^wn our streets, with its neat homes and substantial buildings; as we wander through the cities of the dead, on tbe banks of onr beautiful lake and gaze upon the hundreds of tomostones, all of which have been erected within her recollection, we form a slight conception of the multitude of changes wrought by tbe hand of time within tbe limits ot even this little community.

The subject of this sketch, anoV whose "physiog." we present, was born in Pinckney March 28, 1861. He received all of his schooling in the "old red schoolhouse." At the age of 11 he began clerking for Jerry Dunn, afterward clerking three years for Sicler Bros. In the spring of 1881 he wenft to Sheldon, Iowa, where-he had a position in the postoffice and general store for five years. He then became assistant postmaster at Yankton, 8. D., where he remained three years. , : April 14, 1886, he established the Bank of Dakota County at Jackson, Neb., which he now own8. He was admitted to the bar of South Dakota and Nebraska in 1890, but does not lay much Miss Franc A. Burch was born a few miles from our village and received her early education in the "Old Ked Schoolhouse." —Whon oight years ^o-f age -&W played little Mary in "Ten Nights in a Bar Room," going with the Pinckney "troupe" to Howell, where the play was given two evenings. Her father (Jied when she was fourteen years of age, and two years thereafter she began her 'school teaching career, the last two years of which were in the Intermediate Department of the PincknejT schools. During the five years of school teaching she studied vocal and piano music under several good teachers. Then followed a course in the Detroit School of Elocution, from which Miss B. was graduated in time. Since then she has taught elocution and given public readings in the States and Canada. Last year she gave, with marked success, that popular story, "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." y—) Miss B. has always bpen a hard worker and has knowo what it is to drink deep of the. cup of sorrow in the loss of father and j mother, and theTiecessary contact J with the world. She has never despised any kind of honorable labor, and is proud to say there is no kind of housework or sewing that she does not understand and has done. She believes the supreme work of life should be character building, and that woman's greatest and best work is in the home. stress on boing a lawyer.—How» ever, he is the proud owner of the Ideal Stock Farm, stocked with 150 shorthorn cattle and as many more Poland- China hogs.

" Old HorofPWeek " gives renewed courage to the people of the towns, thegenerai uplift, and spurs them to improve their conditions in order that they may each year greet their returning sons and'daughters with renewed zest ana show them the improvements made in their little towns during Iheyear. No matter how long a man has lived in a new place, his ties are closest with the plaee of his childhood. It does him good to go back there and to keep in touch with the town or village of his youth; and, more than that, it does his old neighbors good to see him and to know that, though he has prospered in a new CQuntry, he still keeps an interest and a love for the old.

"Old Home Week" is fast becoming an institution iu the United States. {* was first started in New Hampshire by Governor Rollins in 1898, and was such a success that other states have taken it up, until now many states have their "old home" reunions. In^ most states the event f has been launched T>y the metropolis, buT in Michigan it' was left for the smaller town*, l.ast year Paw Paw had a very successful "home week," and this year Huukngy gives the ball autithci push, and now all along the line villages and cities are taking up the "old home week'' idea.

" With a deep groan, Karsicheff dropped the paper. "Good God, it is the blow I feared," and he sank back in his chair. Nicholas picked up the paper. "Give it to me/' said the countess, as she almost snatched the document from his hand.' A glance, told her its contents. She looked at the clock. It wanted but ten minutes of the time—of the hour of noon. "His excellency, Paul, Count Nazlnv oif," announced a servant. Katherine stood erect in a moment. She would give no' sign of her heart, however deeply she felt the blow. Count Nazimoff entered the room. He was dressed in full uniform. Karlscheff half arose and then sat back. Count Nazimoff approached and extended his hand. "Believe me, my dear Karsicheff," he said, "I was not desirous of this position. But his majesty having sent for me and havwith a Ale of four soldi*** guarding him another prisoner was brought in and plaae4 in position before the, minuter of police.

What is your name?" The prisoner dropped the hood and stood like a statue as he answered* "Alexis Nasimoff!" "Alexis Nazimoff!" was repejated by all In the room—all save Ivan and Ilda. With a cry of bitterest anguish from his breaking heart Count Nazfmoff staggered to hie foct. Far a ment he vainly essayed to speak, but his tongue refused to utter a sound. "Oh, iny father!" The- cry was wrung from the surcharged heart of Alexis as he stretched out his shackled hands. Paul Nazimoff, weak.and trembling, found" his voice at last. "Alexis, my son, my boy," he cried in anguished tones, "what does this mean? Oh, my God, ray God!" _ He pressed' his hands first to his heart, then to his throbbing brain. "Father!" said Alexis. "Speak, speak out! Oh, God, speak out!" cried the stricken count. "You, you, my boy here—here^charged with crime—with plotting the_ assas^ slnatlon of your sovereign! Speak, Alexis; say that it is false! Don't you see my heart is breaking?" ~ "I swear to you, father, it Is not true. I am innocent." "Xou— hear," faltered Count Nazimoff, looking wildly around. "You hear—he is——" "He Is guilty whoever he may be," spoke up the officer in command, "for I myself found concealed on his person, in his cigar case this sign—the sign of the assassin chosen to kill." He held up his hand! The Red Rouble! "My God!" Paul Nazimoff fell back and buried his face in his hands. The clock showed that it wanted bitterness of }\but a minute of the hour. "Quick," said Katherine, rushing to her husband's side. "You have ample proof of his guilt. Sentence htm to Siberia—it will bring him and Olga together." Karsicheff sat stunned! The terrible disclosure of Alexis1 identity had shaken him. "Quick," urged Katherine, "it is your last chance!" The iron will and relentless puring proffered the honor, it was not to bo refused." The suggestion of a smile passed over the pale face of the deposed minister, "I am quite sure the position cannot be in better hands," he said. Katherine looked at the clock. It was within five minutes of noon.

Do years In the mines of Siberia!" Karsicheff rose from his desk. The clock began striking twelve, and as the strokes rang out they fell like a kn'ell on the ears of nearly all present. Turning to Paul, Count Nazimou, Karsicheff, taking a bunch of keys from his pocket, said, "My work is finished. Count Nazimoff, to you I resign my seal, my.fceys, my powers. I have done my duty to the end —the rest Is yours!" Radaloff approached Count Nazimoff— Count Nazimoff, the new minister of police—and as he passed the countess he gave her one look that repaid all the insult she had heaped upon him less than an hour before. "What is your excellency's command regarding the other prisoners?" he asked, saluting Count Nazimoff.* >4There is one more to be disposed of. She says she is the wife of that man," and he pointed to Ivan. Katherine caught the word. His wife! Ada's brother's wife. .She too must suffer. None of them must escape. "Count Nasimoff," she said, "my husband' laid down his work while engaged in meting out justice to this gang of assassins. There is cine more —that man's wife. She too should be not sentence her! Spare her! Spare her. Here on my knees at your feet, I beg, I implore you, by the love you bore your dead wife, have mercy on her, on "me—on all—have mercy, have mercy!" Count Nazimoff raised ' hig he "You have mrged my duty well, madame, I must perform it." "Mercy, mercy, mercy!" screamed Katherine, fairly groveling at his feet.

To one who closely studies human nature letters constitute the best literature. They reveal the little idiosyncrasies which g o t o make up character. *Phey expose the heart, especially if written without the thought of publication. Sometimes, as In the case of the correspondence between Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett, it seems a sacrilege to lay bare to t h e world so much of private confidence. In other instances, as In the letters which Liszt and Wagner wrote to each other, the world Is the distinct gainer by the publication. In fact, so rich ia English literature in epistolary wealth that we hate to regard letterwriting as a lost art. The truth, however, forces itself upon us and we must accept it, endeavoring to console ourselves with the thought that what we have lost in genuine correspondence we may have gained in other things. r- ' Voice From Arkansas.

The terms of surrender gent to Gen, Stoessel, Russian commander at Port Arthur, provided that the garrison should march out with the honors of war and join Gen. Kuropatkin; that all civil la na be brought to a place designated by the Japanese admiral; that the Russian warships in the harbor numbering seven, namely: the battle ships lletvisan, Sevastopol, Pobleda, Peresvlet, Poltava*, the armored cruUer Bayau, and1 the protected cruiser Palladn, and 12 or more tovpedo boat destroyers and four g^uWoats be surrendered to the Japanese^ - Lieut-Gen. Stoessei is alleged to have received the terms., with a burst of wonderful profanity, his habitual tacturnity deserlng him. He strode the floor until he became calmer and then remarked1 that if the Japanese proposition wns a Joke it was in bad taste. Gen. Stossel's treatment of the Japanese major was courteous, but his reply was prompt and characteristic. The Japanese major then asked for a three days' truoe in which to bury the dead. This was refused. The battle' was renewed at 10 o'clock on the morning, of the 17th and as the junk left it 'was bejug waged furiously on all sides. ^ ::..: : WHtty the Jap*. - <t«a. Btossael, in command at Port Artaar, has refused*-to' surrender and has declined the 6ffer made by the Japanese of the removal of non-combatants there. Reasons for this latter action are not given, but it is probable that the non-combatants are unwilling to accept a favor at the hands of the Japanese. They confess, however, that necessity for their removal exists. It is expected the Japanese attack, will be resumed iinmedlately; it now enters upon its final stage.

A photographer was present and the crowd was cleared back that he might get soverai view's of the men bound to the stake and ready for the burning. Tlu>n followed a a awful scene, The match wns applied and frenzied cheers rent the. air as men, almost crazed with hatred of the men being punished, saw the cruel flames drinking up the life blood. Jnst as the .match was applied to the pyre one of- those- in front asked Reed If lie wanted to tell the truth before ho died. "Yes, sir; I kflled Mr. and Mrs. Hodges/' he replied. "Who killed the children?" he was asked. "Handy Bell," came the response, as the tin rues -leaped upward, and further questioning was impossible in the wild tumult, As the flames touched Reed's naked ollsoaked skin he twisted his head around in an en* deavor to choke himself and avoid the fearful tortur*. Only once did he complain. He said: "Lord, have mercy." Catci screamed in a crony and bearsred that he be shot. His heavy head of hair.

"Just try and figure that out," he went on. "How would you like to try a combination like that—milk, cucumbers, crabs and pie?

"He looked me over without a blink. M 'Hey?* said he. "*You bet the man, I suppose,* said I, 'that you could beat him over the links by 2 up and 3 to play, and you didn't make good?' "He rested his crabs and cucumbers and his bowl of milk and his pie on the counter and looked me over.

A.—The grange is established as a closed session organization for the benefit of its paying members. So called open meetings may be held with profit occasionally, •ay once a year. On such occasions the grange should be shown at its best. •Q.—In holding open meetings should invitations be given in general? A.—For the success and benefit to be derived from euch meetings each member should be given the privilege of inviting such neighbors and friends as are eligible to membership and who would make desirable members. There are but small -chances for good from a general public meeting. Q.—Should the rejecting of a candidate _J»e discussed by the members? A.—Except In very extreme cases no good can come from discussing beforehand the rejection of"a~candiaate, ana after the event it positively irritating and wrong. All such matters should rest with the conscience of each individual member. Q.—Can a master give the annual word to a visiting member? A.—No. Each member must receive the word from the master of the grange to which he belongs. Q.—Can first and second degrees be conferred on one candidate and fhe third and fourth on another candidate all in the same evening? A.—Yes. The constitution says that "No grange shall confer more than two degrees on the same person at the same meeting." It is considered that the lessons of two degrees are all that the candidate can retain sufficiently to pro- . reed intelligently, and if the grange performs the work property it is all that should be undertaken for the good of the order. Q,—When should the minutes be approved? A.—The ritual provides that the minutes or record of a meeting shall be approved at the close of the meeting when they were enacted. The reading of records at ' a subsequent meeting is for the information of members only. Q.—Should the worthy master sign the The woman's work committee of the New York state grange has issued a series of twelve leaflets of four pages each on "Child Culture Studies." Sixty thousand leaflets were printed for use In the subordinate granges. In Harrisvllle township, in Mlchfg&n. there is a school building which is occupied by the public school, a church congregation and the grange. The upper story is used by the church and the grange. WkUtler** Reftael R m t g n , In "Whistler as I Knew Him," Mortimer Menpes, the author, has a good deal to say about Whistler the fighter and his quickness In resenting an affront. He Is careful to add that Whistler was always refined In his methods: Still, he was not actually brutal. He never treated bis enemies in a coarse way. Any man yfho had offended him Whistler wouldf rnp sharply over the ihoulders with his cane, and then, by the time the sufferer had recovered, ! the master would be in the next room , explaining to every one how he had : just felled his eueiay. Once he caught ' a man, with whom he was for the moment enraged, washing his face. Without a moment's hesitation Whistler dashed the unfortunate head straight into the basin of water, and while the foe was endeavoring to clear the soap from his eyes to=see- the cause of sudden immersion Whistler was in the smoking room setting the men there in a roar with the account of his adventures. When 1 first met Whistler he was in the act of searching for a man who had dared to criticise his Venetian ftchings. "If you want to see some fun, Menpes," he said, "come with me." Fortunately the man had been warned and was nowhe*» to be found. Childish Cariosity. Little Florence, aged six, had been spending the afternoon with a neighbor who had just lost a near relative, and who was working very hard to get some mourning gowns made. Florence had beon very good and asked no questions, but when she returned home her lnqulsitiveness asserted itself. Her mother explained as clearly as she r »? *~$< w mimitea?—A.—I'here is nothing in grange law which requires the signature of the master to the record of a meeting. Q.—When the assistants are taking up the word shall the annual or degree word be given first. A.—It is required that the annual word be given first, then followed by the fourth degree word. Q.—Has a grange the right to elect a new officer to fill a vacancy where a reslgnatlon lxas not been made? A.—Yes, for the grange can declare a vacancy when an officer is delinquent in duty. Any officer, from whatever cause, should not be permitted to be a stumbling block to the progress of the grange. Punctual officers and regular meetings are essential to grange success. Q.—In electing officers is it permissible to vote to instruct the secretary to cast the vote of the grange for a certain member for a certain office? A.—Election by ballot in the grange hfs reference to a Tree, untYammeled tfxprgiJBlon uf yiefm* ence by each individual member. To Instruct the secretary to act for the whole body is not in line with this Just principle and should not be allowed. Q.—Should an applicant come to the grange meeting at which his application is to be balloted upon? A.—While an applicant can be elected and have the flrst degree conferred upon hjm at the same meeting it should not L»e encouraged or practiced except in extreme cases to concentrate several candSdatesjpind thus "save work to the grange. Witn tHe applicant in waiting at the grange hall it would be very., embarrassing in ,cuse of" rejection. There is generally time enough to wait until results are known. Q.—Shatl the worthy master or lecturer be addressed when rising to speak during the lecture hour? A.—The worthy master. Q.—In the initiatory work has an-offlcer the right to use any language\not given In the manual? A.—The rltuaH is very complete within itself, and it Js not in good taste to use outside language. There is no law. however, against It, providing the ritual is not abridged or changed. Q.—When em incorporated grange becomes dead, what disposal can be made of the grange property? Grange property may include a hall. A.—The grange thus being a business body can proceed legally to close out its real and personal property for the benefit of outstanding indebtedness or other disposition of the proceeds, but state grange law provides that If it appears that a few members are acting In a way to purposely wreck the grange for the property the state grange may take possession and hold it in trust for such time when the grange may desire to work again. Q.—What redress has the state grange When a subordinate grange persists in receiving new members for a less fee than •t*t«rf in thft hvlawa? A —Tf a. niihnrril.. "Bring him to me."

"I am at last to receive a hearing." "Take him away," said the duke, "and bring him to me on the morrow." The author was led out, dancing along gayly as though the hope of 'pears had been realized. i "Methinks," remarked the -duke as ' he watched the retreating Cabot, "play- I writing must be a hard field to enter. j [ would not wonder if this young man, j knowing of my interest in the drama, has himself put out a suspicion that he is carrying messages between these ! villains, who are seeking to enthrone ! the pretender, to secure my reading of his play.

A few weeks later, when the rising had been successful, the duke was led before the young man who had posed as an author.

"While the ears of animals," said a naturalist, "are erect and comely, the, human ear is crumpled, crushed and flattened. It is man's intelligence that is responsible for this deformity of his ear.

Article XVII of the bylaws of the national grange makes it the duty of the master of the state grange to suspend the charier of SUCH unending grange.

'•There Is no genius like the genius of I ,or. There is no reward like that T w o H e a d e d Symbol*. Both Russia and Germany display two headed eagles on their standards. Yet this symbol is considered by some heralds to be merely the result of the heraldic practice of "dlmidlatlon." This was simply a child's way of impaling two coats of arms on the same shield by the primitive method of cutting each In half and taking the dexter half of one and the sinister half of the other and placing them back to back, as it were. Strange two headed beasts naturally resulted, as, for instance, when a lion and an eagle were halved and joined together. The griffin is supposed to have been evolved from two lions rampant by dimidlation. It robs the two headed eagle of half its terrors to know that it^owes its origin to this sort of child's play.

The luminous organ of the glowworm is a rounded area on the abdomen, under which is1 a fatty substance that gives out a phosphorescent light as the result of slow chemical change. We may regard this as a "love light," which attracts the active winged males during the hours of darkness, for glowworms are of nocturnal habits. The eyes of the male are unusually large and well developed, no doubt in order to help him in. the search for his shining but more sluggish mate. In some other species, such as the fireflies of south Europe, it is the males which give out light, and the reason for this is not clear. Possibly it promotes rivalry In courtship, and It has also been suggested that -rtmay serve as a of amusement A C a a w l a l Liar. which comes to energy, system, peraeverance."

"Your grace!" exclaimed the young man, starting back as though to escape a blow. ]—"And as for plot," continued the'' iuke, "there's not a vestige of a plot In any. one of the five acts." j "Your grace!

In going tp the van in .which they w**£;t* fee conveyed to the railway station to begin their long journey to the mines of Siberia, Ivan and Alexis passed the conveyance where Ilda sat In> company with two other women. They had not seen each other since they had been taken from the office «f the minister of police, when Ivan, torn by the soldiers from the arms of Olga, felt, as he reserved a last fare* w*Q Embrace, the hitfess girl faint in Ala arms. "Alexis!" Hearing the voice, Alexis stopped, and with him Ivan, for they were ironed'together. "Ilda!" Beth spoke at once. But the one word was the last. A Cossack guard had overheard them, and with a rough "Prikazano ne gavarit" (talking is forbidden), he pushed them forward with the butt of his rifle and hustled them into the van with scant ceremony. The cortege started, and In less than half an hour the prisoners had been transferred to the long train of convict cars, the whistle sounded, the train moved, and the dreary journey 4>f the exiles to Siberia had begun. As the train rolled along, Ivan and Alexia found for the flist time an op. they went riveted to the ankle irons. Alexia'and Ivan wer*s fortunate in being exempted from th* degradation of having their hair cut ip/the manner described, hat in all 'other respects they were treated as the other convicts. They tried to- gain information from the guarde asnte. pda, but it was without avail, and jhey were left in uncertainty as ^ her, fate. But they were not loaf in. suspense. Early on the following, morning a bugle sound, rang through *he prison, and a few minutes later all were act-1 mi" classs-^prisoners and officials portunity of exchanging confidences. They had been placed in separate .cells in the prison, and knew nothing o f what had transpired during the xime of their confinement. Of their .destination they were both ignorant, beyond the fact that they were bound for Siberia. They found some consolation, however, in being together, and^ each tried to comfort the other by expressing a hope that when the truth was known their punishment would not be sq severe. One fear, however, possessed them both—that on their -arrival in Siberia they would be separated and unable to communicate with each other. It i3 a long journey at best from St. Petersburg to Saratov; but in a •crowded convict car, with no conveniences, with a hot, stifling atmosphere, .and in the company of some of the worst characters in Russia—for with Tefined cruelty the political exiles were compelled to associate with malefactors of all krnfls-'-it was, as Alexis afterward described it, a horrible nightmare while awake. Up to their arrival in Saratov, Ivan and Alexis had been allowed to wear the ordinary dress, although Alexis, Immediately after his arrival in the JPetropavloak prison, had been compelled to give up his~uhiform and ive. Orders/were issued in quick, sharp tones to the prisoners to be ready to march, and after a hasty breakfast of the regulation f a r e - black bread and barley soup— the prisoners were drawn up 1n line in the courtyard. A list of their names were called,, their irons examined, each prisoner^jshouldered_his canvas bag and then, led" by a detachmenTo? soldiers and guarded on both sides and the rear, the column of "unfortunates"— the general term for exiles in Russia—was .ordered to march. The outer gates opened and the prisoners were on their way to the landing place, where a steamer was in waiting to carry them up the Volga to Kasan. Among the three hundred and odd prisoners there were some thirty-five women—some of them beingHhe wives of exiles, who elected to share their husband's fate; some who were being rippnrtPd fnr political actlyityr--airddon the garb of a civilian. Now, however, they had arrived at the depot for those destined for Siberia, and were soon made aware that nericeforttL they would live under -changed conditions. ^ Two or three days after their arrival at Saratov, a rumor spread among the prisoners that the convoy for.Siberia was about tu stmt ou the following morning, and this proved to be true, for the order was issued to prepare to march. As a preliminary the convicts were divided into two classes—the politicals and the criminals— other than those convicted of •offenses of a political nature. Of the first there were two classes—the sylni - : \ j c j i or simple exiles, whose offenses were '> designated under the general term of "entrustworthiness"—arid the—hardy labor class, who were convicted of some overt act against the'peace and dignity of the czar. Some of the prisoners were taken to the barber-shop, where one side of the head was •shaved bare; and the hair an the other side being allowed to remain, they presented, when their cape were TnfflgfTrt; fi t^<ftri1T.rrnttfqii8_5Pprnr •ace.

As the column started, Alexis and Ivan, who had managed to still be together— a TaTor grantexr^o-Hheu^-byreason of a trifling bribe to one of the guards—recognized Ilda in her dress of an exile. That Ilda also recognized them they were sure, although "She made no sign, fearing to betray a desire to . get nearer to them—a movement that would have been prevented because desired. But when they reached the steamer they were rewarded for their self-denial, and for the first time since they bad been separated at the doors of the prison 4n S t Petersburg they found an opportunity to converse freely. This gave them a chance to agree upon a cypher mode of communication which they felt would prove useful In the probable event of their early separation. Alexis was by far the most cheerful of the three, and did all in his power to comfort his companions^ VI feel sure," he said, "that my father when he discovers the true facts will relent and that our pardons are only a question of time. But I have a stronger ground for hope. I do not believe that Gen.

With a noble disregard of her own safety/ Ilda exposed herself to every risk, and to her. watchful careand skillful nursing-was due the saving of -the lives of the governor's wife and children. The gratitude of the governor'a wife knew no bounds* and it was at her suggestion that Ilda was given quarters, instead of being confined in the women's department of the prison, in the governor's house. She had been here now two months, and was regarded with feelings of grateful esteem by alike. Stralensk is On the main road to the mines of Nertchensk, and since the arrival of Ilda several convoys of prisoners had passed through at work on our behalf. Keep up a brave heart, dear Ilda, and be assured that happiness is yet in store for us all." The steamer with its load of human freight went on up the broad Volga until short delay occurred, but in a few hours the exiles were transferred to ftnnthPT steamer, their destination bethe place en route to the destination at the mines. As the long columns of unfortunates wound their weary way along the valley of the Nertcha, Ilda had many opportunities to perform little acts of kindness to suffering prisoners. It was while binding the bruised foot of a poor woman who had suffered terribly on the march that Ilda was startled by the sufferer asking if she knew any prisoner named Ilda Barosky. u Ilda's heart beat fast. She had not heard from Alexis or Ivan since she was separated from them to continue her journey, and while she knew that they had been stopped at Chitka, she believed that they had only been halted there, preparatory to being sent further._into the interior, perhaps to the dreaded mines of K*aro Ilaa revealed her name to the stranger, who produced a paper. It proved to be but a single work "Nadeshda" (Hope), but it was as a very message of future happiness for the girl, for she recognized the hand of Alexis.'* She learned that the scrap of paper had been the office of Charles O'Coaor of New York, then one of the leaders of the bar. "What's the trouble ^ asked the latter, as Conking excitedly paced the floor. "I've lost been subjected to the worst insult I have ever received. This is the first time a client ever objected to my fee." "You know I defended Gibbons for arson and pot in some .tremendous work for him. He was convicted at the trial, but we couldn't help it, and I took the case to the superior court and we lost there, then on to the supreme court and that affirmed the con* viction and he has been given ten years. Now, my fee only amounted to $3,000 and the scoundrel actually has the audacity to grumble about it, saying it's too high. What do you think5 of that for impudence?" "Well," said O'Connor slowly, -of course, you did a lot of work and fs> 000 is not a big fee, but to be- frank with you, Mr. Conkling, my opinion, founded on mature consideration, is that he might have been convicted for less money."

Here ar\ s o f a r a s the woman could describe the man who had given her the scrap of paper, and who had but a moment to aak her tp deliver it to Ilda Baroing Perm, on the River Kama. They were now rapidly appfo'ffchtng-the Slberian frontier. On their arrival at Perm, they were marched to a train of cars in waiting, and without further, delay were forwarded on their journey. At the end of the railway line the prisoners were disembarked and taken to the receiving prison, where they were to rest a few days before be- -grafting their long march of weeks, perhaps monthB, to the mines of Siberia. It was while at this place that Alexis, Ilda and Ivan learned of their destination. Ivan and Alexis were to go to Chitka, the capital of the province of the Trans-Baikal, a place on the bank of the Ingoda river, one of the tributaries of the Amoor. Ilda learned that at this point she would be separated from her companions. She was to go some two hundred miles further—to Stralensk. We may pass over the long and dreary march of the exiles for weeks and months in their journey over the great highway of Siberia. It is a painful story—a Btory full of tears. The scanty food, the foul air of the kamaras or prison pens, the long marches on foot day by day—these need not further be referred to. Suffice it Jto say that the journey was accomplished at last, and the exiles were at their destination. By great good fortune the commnnrtant of thfl dW*<<* wh*™ Tr»n and Alexis found themselves wss an old soldier who had served under Count. Nazlmoff in the Turkish war, and he felt pity for the son of his old commander. Alexis was allowed many privileges not accorded to ordinary convicts, and the horrors of exile were, by his intercession, also softened for been at! at Stralensk also an beyond the scanty government allowsky, if they should meet. ~ Thus the months passed away—the exiles waiting, watching, with anxious hearts for a word of hope from those nearest and dearest to them.

IMPORTANT TOWN IN T I B E £ _ • — . « p i , , j Inhabitants of Qyangtse Are Chiefly Religious Devotees. Gyangtse, which Is distant ?13 miles from the Indian frontier and 134 miles from Lessa, is a large and important town with a network of irrigation channels. The- town, which is orer two miles In circumference and contains 1,000 houses. Is situated about two small hills, which lie east and west. On the western hill la a collection . of massive walls, keeps and bastions ^covering .the whole surface of the rock, SOO feet high and tOO - yards long. On the western hill is a monastery of 600 monkey P*U^# to&|£« temple nine stories hli^' -*~'*^- * sidered by the Tibetan* holy place. Surmoui is a gilt dome and from sere a niflcent view is to be had of the town and surrounding mountains. Insid* the temple are numbers of niches, filled with imagos of Buddha and of saints. The town and the surround* ing country swarm with monasteries, in one of which Chsndra Das, an Indian traveler, found 600 monks engaged in divine service and 200 more reading the sacred books, while on each side of the fmsge of Buddha were four rows of monks, twenty in each, with hundreds of butter-fed lamps burning in front of them.

The man who was largely responsible for the introduction of golf In this country, Robert Lockhart, died recent* ly. in 'Edinburgh, Scotland. He was for years a linen Importer In New York, and organized the first golf ttltth in the United States in Yonkera, N. Y„ in 188$TTr "Apple Tree Gang." founded the St. Andr time in the place in which they were. The whim of an officer in authority; the command of an ispravnik—the sub-governor or mayor of the smaller towns; a draft for more laborers for the mines—any of these causes might compel them to change their residence at a moment's notice, and go to a point, hundreds, if not thousands, of miles distant. Hence our friends were kept in a constant state of fear and suspense, lest at any moment an order 'might issue which would place them further apart—perhaps never to meet again. It must not be supposed that Alexis and Ivan had calmly reconciled themselves to their fate, and had passively accepted the misfortune ihat it had been their lot to endure.

And the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him In a flame of Are out of the midst of a bush; and he -.looked, and, BSnoldrthe bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.—Exodus, 111., 2. First of all w e learn from the beautiful story of Moses that God will find you wherever you are and will give to you a divine duty. When all things \?ere ready God found Mosea away there In the rocky country of Midian. Moses seemed almost to have hidden away from God, for the 'record says that he now led the sheep to the further side of t h e mountain of Horeb. Many a day he-had pastured them in the open plap and nothing unusual occurred. BUT on this day when he least experts it he sees the presence of God i n j h e bush which shone with divine glory. * Voles* of Native Africans. * The timbre of the voices among central Africans Is usualIj good—deep and strong in the men,-very melodious and sweet in the women. One notable peculiarity about the people is the forced key in which they a t ways carry on conversation. The ordinary quiet tones of civilised speech are scarcely ever heard among them. They literally shout and, such being their habit, It is a matter, of indifference to them whether t h e person to whom they are speaking Is close by or twenty yards away. "They are most tireless chatterers," says a traveler. "I doubt whether any other people in the world talk so much or laugh so much. Their laughter is purlieu* larly healthy, natural and unrestrained— a most exhilarating Sound." Revolt of the Young Person. There is at least one case-on record of the revolt of the young person against too many old masters on the walls of> the school room and her sleeping room at home.

Shouting Their Praises. Friarpoint, Miss., August 22 (Special).— Cured of Bladder and Kidney Trouble after 26 years of suffering, Rev. H. H. Hatch, of this place, is telling the public-the-good-news-and shouting the praises of the remedy that cured him—Dodd's Kidney Pills. Rev. Mr. Hatch says:— "I have been suffering from Bladder and Kidney Trouble for 26 y e a n and I have tried everything that people said would do me good. But nothing aid me any good except Dodd's Kidney Pills. y i . haven't felt a pain since I took DtsM's Kidney Pills. They gave me and I feel like a new man aler. Dodd's Kidney Pills are best I ever had." All Urinary and Bladder Troubles are caused by diseased Kidneys. The natural w a y t o cure them is to cure the kidneys. Dodd's- Kidney Pills never fall to cure diseased kidneys in any stage or place. They always cure Backache and they are the only remedy that ever cured Bright's Dig* 4as&. ' - 1¾ t h e light of this sacreict isistory read your own life story. Do not fear that you will ever be. forgotten or overlooked if you are following God's leading. When you are needed God will find you. He took Elisha from the plow and made him a great prorhet; he took David from the shepherd life and made him a great king; ho took John and Peter from their P&hing boats and made them masters ot eternal truth; and when he wants you he will make it as plain as he made it plain that he wanted Moses. We learn also from this story that we cannot hurry God's plans. Four hundred years before God had promised this deliverance. The people supposed that God had forgotten his. promise, but h e had not. Forty years had passed away in Moses' desert life and nothing unusual had happened. You cannot hurry the plans of the Almighty, for they are arranged with reference to great and small things of the whole universe. Why not be patient until you see" hia revelation of c'ivine duty, whether that be in one, cr ten or forty years? The four hundred years of waiting on the/ part of t h e chosen people was a poriod ofpreparation. The forty years of voluntary banishment for Moses w a s a time of preparation for the leadership, without which he could not had led them out of Egypt into the land of promise. Nor is it too late with you. Moses was now eighty years old. He might have pleaded that he was too old. Dut God wanted him BO ho made It very plain.

Put him to the test and you will see the flashing forth of divine duty as Moses saw i t in the incident of the burning bush and as the wise men saw it in t h e Star of Bethlehem.— John Lloyd Lee, D. D. Jesus for ^healing, h e found salvation ttlso. We have no reason t o suppose t hat be would ever • Jeava beard the words, "Thy sins fee forgisen thee,M had it not been for 'his affliction- He will have cause to thank God through* nut eternity for his paralysis. Moreover, he necasne am object Iet> fon to t h e jnuMitndes who thronged about our Lord and wltneased the wonderful miracle. I t was worth all he had suffered to be honored with the privilege of preaching Jesus to unbelievers through his healing and salvation. Yea, and his testimony was not limited to those who saw the miracle. Wherever he went through life the n a n that was healed was a tiring w i t ness of the power and grace of Jesus Cnrist. Every one who met him must Kave felt the power of that miracle. Nor has his testimony ceased. He Still bears witness. Thousands of years have passed away, and his voice !* still heardT"What a blessinfet to the world was the paralysis of that man! Let us not murmur when affliction comes upon us. It may be said of our affliction as it was of the blindness of the man whom our Lord healed: "Neither bath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that t h e works of God might be made manifest in him." T "Unto Him? The purpose for which a thing Is done determines largelyr^notoniy-tha character of the thing done, nor the method of its doing, but also the value of the deed when done. To do things for the sake of Jesus lifts all deeds up to the highest possible plane, and invests with spiritual dignity ^ v e n the' meanest of occupations. "Unto Him" will settle the quality of all deeds. Deeds that cannot be so done are not worth the doing, and yet so all-inclusive is this purifying motive that no legitimate concern of life Is outside its sweep. These two words may well be taken as the standard by which our actions can and should be measured. Those that can be done unto Him should be pursued with diligence, while those that cannot or concerning which any doubt exists should be at once discarded. "Unto Him™" should be the purpose of all our doings. This purpose makes drudgery divine. The person for whom a thing is done settles largely whether the doing of it should be accounted menial. Love will do for its beloved what would not be done for another. The fact that it is done for a loved one invests what else were trivial with a dignity and worth it would not otherwise know. "Unto Him" sets the measure of our doing as to its constancy. Love knows no bounds. He, being who He is and having done what He has, demands a Tervice as long l i s eternity andarriOBT secration that only stops short when it has embraced the whole man. "Unto Him" thus becomes the secret tot all true life. It dignifies all and makes the fleeting service pregnant with the issues of eternity. Life lived in this way is accepted as it has been lived. When in t h e naked, the hungry, the thirsty, the sick and the imprisoned we see Him young men to be the leaders" in the | and give-of-ourselves-to-them a s u n t a Him, then shall He say to u s : "Inas much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, y e have done it unto Me." Burning hearts are the lights o* the world. In The Gain of Loss, ft is impossible to estimate the benefits of affliction. Most men count their afflictions as so much loss. They consider that every day of suffering Is a lost day, and that all the pain they bear is a disadvantage in the race of life. Life is narrower, feeoier, tesa valuable because of sickness, loss and trouble. But ftey do not consider Belief of.GPreat Statesman. a letter to the then Vicar of S t Matthew's, Brighton, the late Lord Salisbury said: "To me the central point is the Resurrection of Christ, which I believe. Firstly, because it is testified by men who had every opportunity, of seeing and knowing, and vhose veracity was tested by the most tremendous trials, both of energy f nd endurance, during long lives. Secondly, because or the marvelous effect it had upon the world. As a moral phenomenon, the spread and masterf of Christianity Is without a .parallel. 1» can no more believe' that colossal moral effects lasting for 2,000 years can be without a cause than I can believe that t h e various motions, of the magnet are without a cause, though we cannot' wholly explain them." .«:--\2£*Y:s:4. -*••••• t r • -* i.

Conservative brokers who have watched.tbe fluctuations of the market during the last fortnight estimate that Armour cleared up fully $1,000,000 on the bull campaign, which now seems to be at an end.

Herr Tippelt, an Austrian mining millionaire, decided that honesty is not t i e best policy. Recently he discovered that his income during the last few years had exceeded the figure at which he had returned it,' and in a fit of remorse he sent $6,600 to the Exchequer. The result was that he received a demand for another $3,750, being interest on the arrears, and eighteen times the amount of the interest charged, as a penalty for not having declared his full income. Herr Tippelt appealed against the Cemand to the court, but the judge decided agaiast him. Russia embraces one-sixth of the land mrface of the world. It is more than ifty times larger than Japan, and has i total area of 8,650,000 square miles. • • & Tho;$l!iW>f#yw*r. '^i^Pv •- '4BwflMaJpjPaTsjE 9 aws^sasass^ - ^ssjjjp^ ^Iwf^T^ 'JSWPr^*.

Was Caught and Released. A large "spikehorn" deer, chased by a dog, ran down the street at Manchester, N. H., the other day. When abreast of an apartment house the animal suddenly turned, bolted through a large plate glass window, ran through a suite and made its exit by a window at the rear. The deer was finally corralled In a stable, where It was induced to enter a piano box. Thus confined, the animal was transported to woods outside the city and released Earrings indicate Nativity.

Tbe farmer then proceeded with the business of the farm and the men wondered why every now and then he chuckled to himself. An hour went by, and the farmer was once more at the foot of the tree. "Hullo, herer be cried. "What are ye*doing up my tree, eh?" The boy was pale and quivering with fright, but be had not altogether lost bis presence of mtnd.

The time they remained they felt was not wasted/for Alexis was convinced that Cobb was' not idle, and that he would soon get tidings from his friend. Matters were in this condition when an event occurred which changed the the bloodcurdling cry of a pack of famished wolves. But the howling of the wolves and the piercing blasts of the wind had no terrors for two men who sat in the large hall of an etape. or exile station on the road from Chitke to Nertchinsk. Copious draughts of steaming hot vodka sat on the. table before them, while the warm atmosphere of the apartment was in decided contrast to the bitter temperature which prevailed out of doors. "Go on with the letter," said the elder of the two men, addressing his companion, who had stopped reading whole aspect of affairs, and which had | some communication while he swal a momentous bearing, upon the lives and fortunes of the exiles. T^e work on the roads to which Ivan and Alexis had been assigned was in charge of an onfeer named Onasoff—a coarse and brutal man of .no education. The fact that Alexis and Ivan, by reason of their attainments, had been excused from manual labor, asd has been detailed as petty overseers, rankled in his heart. He hated them for their superiority over the class he was accustomed to command, and lost no opportunity cf venting upon them his spiteful nature. But it was only after the party of exiles left Chita and Onasoff was placed in command, when for the time being he was supreme, that he had the full opportunity he craved to show his hostility to Ivan and Alexis. A failure N i c n o l a s d l d n o t e j t p l a i n t h a t o n c e to salute him when he- passed-and h e h a d u i e d tQ m a k e m a t r i j n o n i a l t^i measa falSn- JhLoEu.ro;i .ntth e$ ?s*li»g*h*t*es t, cea ss^ateiMoni v• e x t u r e s t—o the ba—ro ness himself, but in their work, even their eonversalowed a generous supply of the fiery vodka. Nicholas Karsicheff—for the two men were Constantino Karsicheff, and his son—lifted the letter which was on the table before him and resumed the reading of its contents. Cons tantine listened eagerly to every word. "Three months after your departure from St. Petersburg," so the letter ran, "that irrepressible American, whom we met at the Nazimoff fete, was married to the Baroness von Rhineberg. The ceremony took place at the American minister's residence, and was one cf the brilliant social events of the season." "Curses on them both," said Nicholas. "I always thought that the baronesTwas a fool—uuw I know It."-— tion, was made a pretext for venting his brutal rage upon the helpless exiles. They well knewf that remonstrance or resistance were equally futile, and submitted in silence to the ineults and /jeers and insulting epithets launched at them by the brute who- had them in his power. But there was a limit to their endurance. One morning a poor fellow named Helmanoff found himself soJlj that ^ d e z y o u s when the orders were given to fall in he was unable to respond. The officer ran to where the prostrate man lay suffering, and with the remark that he would allow no shamming in his command, kicked the helpless sufferer in the face. Alexis sprang forward. "Well!" said Onasoff, "what do you want?" "The man is ill—do not treat him like that," Onasoff drew his hand and struck at Alexis. Ivan sprang up at the same moment -and stopped the blow. It was enough. solOdniearsso frf'uss hoerdd eurpso nw 7ekrTee ~xglsi~vaeirnd. IvTahi e and in a minute, bruised and bleedins, they were borne to the earth and placed in irons. Then, under a strong guard, they were marched to Chitka and charges preferred against them. Their punishment in the first place was to be deprived of all privileges, QnH tn v.o mmpplled to take their places with the common convicts, wnile awaiting the decision of the governor of the province on the charges which Onasoff had forwarded. When these charges were returned, after examination by the governor, he had endorsed thereon the punishment of the exiles. TJie sentence was that Alexis and had been so quietly but effectually repulsed that he never renewed- the attempt. "What else?" said Constantine, impatiently. "Read on." "Count Nazimoff, as I suppose you have heard," continued Nicholas, reading, "resigned his position as minister of police within a few months after taking office. He secured the sworn confession of one Kishkin, a Nihilist who had been captured during your memorable raid on their This confession, I am told, puts an entirely different light on the guilt of Alexis. The story goes that Alexis merely went there to see the girl Ilda, and that he refused to take any oath of secrecy, and denounced the conspirators, even going so far, with the aid of Ivan Barosky, as to attempt to capture them. These facts have been laid before the czar, and I should not* be surprised to hear that their pardons were issued at any time." "Damnation!" Constantine could stand it no longer. He jumped to his feet, and strode up and down the room. He had aged perceptibly with- ,year, and the hard, cruel lines EAGFprr TO swz&r troop* Ivan were to be sent immediately to hard labor in the dreaded mines of Karc! C H A P T E R W A Mutual Recognition. It was the close of a winter day—a winter day in Siberia. Heavy snows had been prevailing for a week, and the roads were, in some places, al-. most impassable, from the drifts. The winds'hnwlfrd mournfully through they pines, and ever and anon there wai borne the sound that of all others sends the most fearful dread to the heart of the lone traveler In Siberia— about his mouth were deepened and intensified by what he had endured.

One remark—that the czar should get a dictionary containing a definition of the word "gratitude"—had been reported back to St. Petersburg, and came to the ears of the czar himself. The result was that when Karsicheff reached his destination he found his commission as civil and military governor revoked, and received an order degrading him from his rank. He was detailed to take charge as commandant of an etape, or exile station, on the road to the mines, and warned that any further expression derogatory to the czar would be followed by imprisonment at'hard labor. The etape at which we find Karsicheff and his son was a large one. It' consisted of the commandant's house, a rather commodious building, which stood on one side cf the road. On the opposite side was a large enclosure surrounded by a stockade about twelve feet high made of rough hewn logs. Within this enclosure stood three long, low buildings—two, the kameras cr sleeping places for the exiles. The furnishing of the kareras was of the simplest description, consisting of a long row of nares (sleeping benches) and -tv couple of rough tables. There was no bedding of any description. Heat was supplied by a large oven-like stove J and, wrapped up in lheir gieat coats, the exiles- were obliged to pass the night on the bare boards, to get sleep aa best they ton Id - eyjej T of Up and down in frdnt of the great gate which admitted to the stockade were the guards, and their orders were of the - simplest description, when the kameras were occupied—"In the event of mutiny or attempt to escape, fire, and fire-to-kill!*' r "What does your mother say of the leger?" at length asked Constantine his BOB.

Those who heard him afterward claimed that the captain was one of the pioneers in the watered capital game. "Pardon, excellency," said the Cossack soldier, producing a paper, "but night is coming on. There are not many prisoners, but we have had a hard time of it in the heavy snow, and to make the pooloo-etape is next to impossible. Besides " "That will do," peremptorily exclaimed Nicholas, "the commandant is the best judge of what is possible." The Cossack saluted and was silent. —Constantine—Karsicheff—leisurely opened the paper handed to him by Nicholas, which the latter had received from the Cossack. It was the official list of prisoners— a list furnished by the Nachalink to the commandant of each etape from which to call the names of the prisoners so as to be assured that all were present. Constantine had barely glanced at the list when he Jumped to his feet with an exclamation of surprise. "Outside and halt your prisoners when they come up here. They stop here to-night. You are right—it is too far to the pooloo-etape! Halt them here and march them in before they go to the kamera. I will inspect them here and give you your receipt—that is all!"

The twins were John afcJarrow, an engineer of Virvan, and Charles Mc- Jarrow, a grocer, of Glasgow. Their father had died intestate while John was in South Africa, leaving £1,500 worth of property. Charles had' taken possession of this, claiming to be the elder son. John, in giving his evidence, said that he was borp on Aug. 24, 1867, at 1 o'clock in the morning and that his brother was .born half an- hour afterward. The births were registered as such. — ' Charles, on the other hand, averred that the-entries in the register were erroneous, and that his father recognized himself as his eldest son. ~~.

How the Victoria falls -.impress a visitor is recorded in Miss C. W. Maekintosh's-Journai ot_a.recent, tour in South Africa. Miss Mackintosh says: "We perceived no hint of the perch, ana" Immealately drops off toy falls, only Seeing before na a screen ofsleep again. One of the most characteristic features of this bird (podarpis) Is its enormous mouth. Its great lound eyes give it something of the look of an owl, which, indeed, in other respects, it closely resembles. It feeds upon small birds, mice, insects, etc.—Pall Mall Gazette. Single Seed Was Prolific. A tingle mesquite seed, imported from the southwest and planted in Honolulu in 1873 bas propagated and spread until in the Hawaiian islands to-day there are 50,000 acres of the famous plant of the alkali plains of Arizona *and New Mexico. The most icmarkablo feature of. the manner in #hlch the desert growth has taken loot on foreign and tropical soir lies in tho fact that the mesquite has completely changed its-character and is vastly different from the parent tree uf the west. rocky-based, bright green forest, apparently closing in the river, like a lake. ' Ten minutes' walk brought us to the camp, on a cliff which literally overhung the gorge, and we saw the cataract thundering down into the Boiling Pot at our feet. The walls of the chasm, 400 feet high, were spanned by a rainbow. The charm of these falls lies hot in the one overwhelming crash as at Niagara, but In J.he cumulative effect of various /glimpses, the matchless beauty of the surroundings and the strangeness of the whole setting, but chiefly in the columns of spray, called the 'thundering smoke' and in the-ever-changing rainbows. The mile-wide river suddenly drops into a yawning crack in the ground, stretching right across the stream at right angles to the banks, a foaming trough, quite narrow, of which the walls rose 400 feet above the surface of the water." k:-^ S3& -A" i —#i ^¾^¾ eUH&fJ^'^H State Treasurer Wlekser, of New York, has received a check for $300 from a firm of New York attorneys, with a note saying that it Is for the "conscience fund," having been placed In their hands by Attorney John T.

After conquering Burma the British undertook to earry the great Rangun bell to Calcutta as a trophy, but dropped it over board in the Kangun river, where it defied all the efforts of the engineers to raise it. Some years later the Burmese, who had not ceased to mourn its loss, begged to be allowed to recover it. Their petition was granted, and by attaching to it an incredible number of bamboo floats the unwieldy mass of metal was finally lifted from its muddy bed and triumphantly restored to Its place.

Farmers' mutual fire insurance companies nave made a tremendous growth during the past few years. And since the Patrons of Husbandry have become so powerful in numbers and influence they have found the insurance feature of the Order more and more popular until today there are flourishing grange insurance companies in at least fifteen states, carrying about $120,000,000 in policies, strictly among members of the Order. Some interesting statistics have been gathered by the New England Homestead bearing on the subject. In Connecticut grange insurance has been in force for sixteen year's, and the 1,500 policies now ct>ver a value of $2,044,- 000. The average cost per thousand is $2.40. Maine carries $9)050,000 in 9,098 policies at an average of about $2,60 per thousand. Massachusetts has over $1,000,000 in 850 policies and has been in the business for two years only, as the state forbids the incorporation of any kind of a mutual fire insurance company without at least $1,- 000,000 in risks when the charter is ap- At the last meeting of the national grange an amendment to the bylaw was adopted to the effect that "the executive committee of a grange—national, state, Pomona or subordinate— cannot act autbpritatively for the grange between grange sessions without the approval of the master." Secretary Freeman of the Ohio state grange reports an increase in membership of 2,000 in that state during 1903. The amount of money received from all sources was $10,387.39, and there is, altogether, $14,835.92 in the treasury. T h e H a a l e I n t h e Letter R.

It was Karsicheff gave the stern -command- As he uttered the word Alexis and Ivan raised their heads TcTinSFetr the gaze of deadly hatred in the-*aces- of Codstantine, Katherine and Nicholas. "The infamous Karsicheffs!" Alexis muttered the words between his compressed lips. _ "Silence, dog?" said Karsfrhrfr He tiad heard Alexis speak, although the exact words had not reached him. "Silence! Guard, why :are these men," and Karsicheff waved his hand, indicating Ivan and Alexis, "not Ironed like the other convicts?" claimed ^arslchefL^ wrought up to uncontrollable %cltetiient.

Katherine stepped forward, "took upon those convicts," she said, In a low voice, intense in ItB depth of bitter hate. "Be npt too harsh with them, for they have suffered much— and they are destined to sutfer snore. That young man," she continued, pointing to Alexis, "was once ar brilliant officer in the service of the czar. He was betrothed to t*he daughter of a noble. But he must needs 'fall in love,'" and she laughed ironically, "with a street, girl of St. Petersburg. Her music charmed him," Katherine laughed again. *. Alexis could only glare at her in helpless agony. Katherine fairly gloated over his sufferings. "Yes," she went on, "he was charmed by the music of the syren, and she dragged him to her depths. She was a street vagabond with half a dozen lovers before his time, and j>he is now the mistress of an officer at the fortress ©f^Aracat" -'--- " "Liar—false woman, you lie!" shouted Alexis. "Ga"g him—gag him!" shouted Karsicheff. To hear the order was to obey, and in two minutes Alexis was lying on the ground, shackled, gagged and helpless. Katherine turned to Ivan. "This other—this ruffiaw^with the marks of the convict upon him—he was once a student who was lifted out of obscurity by a lady of nobility. He betrayed his benefactors by taking advantage of a young girl who visited her house and whom he, with devilish art, persuaded into a secret marriage. She was the daughter of a noble house. _Qn.ee freed. _from his presence, she confessed that she hated him; a decree of divorce was granted her and she is now the wife of a noble in Russia, hating and despising the low-born dog who made her forget her duty to herself and. her family!"

Olga's frantic cry*. "Ivan trust me, I will De true," rang out even after the door closed—and then there was silence, for the hapless Olga had fainted. "Merciless mother, inhuman wolf!" exclaimed Ivan. "Your cruel lie could not hare deceived me. Ob, God! Were I able, I would brain you with these shackled hands!" He could say no more.

Just as Nicholas finished there came across the air the sound of a bugle. It was followed by a shot! "Hark!" All present recognised the sound! "it is the signal of an Imperial courier!" said Nicholas; "we must wait." Some of the guards got ready to present arms. Constantine moved to the door. The sound of bells was heard, and in another minute a sleigh drawn by three horses reeking with foam and with dilated nostrils, which sent forth steaming streams on the frosty air, pulled up at the etape! I A tall, bearded man Jumped out, and ( in another second he had entered the hquse. The imperial courier had arrived! CHARTER XVI. The Imperial Courier. "Who Is commandant here?" The imperial- courier uttered the words in the sharp, authoritative voice of one accustomed to command. When he heard the words, Constan- 'two AS canTTXMMAtT'/e&e?* tine Karsicheff felt that he was no longer the autocrat of the etape. Be fore the courier's arrival his will had been supreme and his word law. At his command any of.the Cossack sol dlers-wouid-have with unquestloniagobedience sent a bullet crashing through the brain of any of the prisoners Karsicheff might have indicated. But now he. felt that a stronger will than his was present—that a power superior to his own had arrived, and that he was now subordinate to an authority that could and would make itself respected. For the corps of couriers imperial of Siberia possessed a rank and rights and powers and privileges far exceeding those of an ordinary commandant of an etape. The requisitions of an imperial courier for fresh horses, for supplies, for accommodations, must be filled with promptness and his orders take precedence of all others, In a word, under the code of regulations, from the moment an imperial courier arrived at any station on the road his powers >were supreme, and he superseded the commandant as authority for tfre time being. "T~am," said Karsicne~ff,~tn response to the demand of the courier. A frown passed over the face of the courier. The halt sulky tone in which Karsicheff had spoken, together with the fact that he had failed~to~ialuIe7 produced a bad impression on the mind of the courier. His voice assumed a harder tone, and his air of command was intensified. 'A sleigh with some travelers has broken down on the edge of the pine forest yonder. They are surrounded by wolves. The pack is growing larger—hark!" The howling of hundreds of wolves was borne across the night in a bloodcurdling chorus. "We must to the rescue," hurriedly resumed the courier. "Let your soldierJTfollow ma" And as he stepped to the door he turned an instant, and waitedNfoV Karsicheff to give the command*. X "I have no soldiers to spare."

A bacterium Is such a small thing that the human eye cannot detaet It- It takes the microscope to bring out this minute form of life. It takes some thousands of bacteria to do the work that Is done in a single tubercle on the root of a leguminous plant Nevertheless, small as they are, bacteria are of immense Importance to the farmer and often the success or failure of a crop will depend on the kind of bacteria there is in a soil* The kind of soil and its physical structure also have a great deal to do with the abundance of bacteria. It has been found that a soil that is rich in humus, that is, has much vegetable matter in it, is better suited for the development of bacteria than soil that has In It very little humus. It has previously been believed that the only advantages In having the humus was that it was a source of nitrogen and that it also held moisture and kept the grouud from drying out. The third good quality must now be added, that of making bacterial life* more abundant- Whether this connection between the humus in the soil and the bacteria is important because the humus furnishes food for the bacteria or whether it is important because the humus keeps the ground light" affd moist and lets the air work through easlly^jgn_^o_not yet know..

It is now certain that we can introduce new kinds of bacteria Into seH*a»4 ftfct* we can by doing this graaflj tnerwm the productive capacity *f ft* tujm for certain crops. Deep or Shaljow Soils. Ordinarily it is desirable to have a deep soil, that the roots of plants may strike deep. The latter is a desideratum for the reason that a deep rooting plant is less affected by the droughts than, any others. We see this in the case of some trees, which have tap roots and are seldom affected by the dry weather. The shallow soils are first to respond to drouth and sometimes they are the slowest to dry out, when the weather is wet The deeper the soil and the more it is loosened up the greater the zone of earth that will be subject to the operations of the bacteria that add nitrogen to the soil. One way of deepening a soil is to plow it as deep as possible with a common plow and then put on a crop of deep rooting legumes. There are some legumes that do not send their roots very deep, such as cow, peas^and—there—-are others tAat send their rotos to the greatest possible depth into the soil, such as the clovers and alfalfa. On multitudes of farms a soil will re* main shallow, whatever the crop unless the land is drained. When this is done the drains should be as deep as three feet. Then the frosts will work in deeper than they - otherwise will and the air will be present on the displacement of Uie water.

It is of nocturnal hahisW and if disturbed during the day J | takes its heavy flight-to a in 1|ililinilBg perch, and immediately drops off to sleep again.

In the field of wheat or other crop this condition may exist when the surface soil appears fairly dry. The presence of too much water retards the ripening of the crop and frequently decreases its yield. It may -be that this is ope of the chief causes why corn on low land Is caught by the frost when corn on land only a dozen feet higher is not injured. It has been assumed that it was a difference In temperature, the cold air running into the hollows, but it does not seem likely that so few feet would make all the difference. But the low land frequently has in it more water than is good for the crop and this retarding the maturing enables the frost to find the com on the low land more, immature than that on land a little higher.

Agricultural Interests Alarmed at Their Ravages. There Is every probability of the plague of locusts which.has now deacended on Egypt proving a very serlous one. Great anxiety is felt for the young cotton and other crops. The locusts first arrive in comparatively small numbers, but they multiply very rapidly as"soon as they reach the edge of cultivation. Within ten days the young Insects, still wingless, advance in a solid phalanx, sometimes two or three feet deep and several miles in length. It le essential that at this stage they should be destroyed as it .'would be Impossible to check the ravages of flying locusts. The method adopted during the last visitation, that of 1S907 was' to dig deep trenches, sometimes miles in length, between which and the advancing swarm huge heaps of straw were laid and fired. Any locusts which succeeded In escaping the flames and smoke fell into the trenches, where they were destroyed by natives under the supervision of English instructors. It is a providentialhabit_ of young locusts never to turn back or aside when once-started, no matter what obstacles are put in their way.—Cairo correspondence London Daily Mail. The Chlld'a Mistake.

Many inquiries have been relative to the registration provisions for this year. The law provides that every voter must register tbis fall be fore he can vote, no matter whether be has been legally registered before A few days later, during- a recess of tbe court, an inspector of police atepped up to the judge and asked htm if a man purporting to be from jftaodlver't had called on him with tome jewelry to eell. "Yet," replied tbe judge, "and. I bought a brooch.*' i "The» your honor," replied the Inspector, sniiliug, "you are a receiver of stolen goods. The man was an impostor." "Impossible 1 He presented a note written on Sandiver's letter head aud brought jewels that I bad seen in Sundiver's cases." " *• ' "Please speak lower, judge," said tbe inspector.

A girl of twenty arose, and the Judge asked: "Have you anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon your' ••Only that I am innocent" Then Judge Lester proceeded to sentence her for two years to the state prison for receiving stolen goods, the articles being a few old pieces of silver of no vm-y great value. The girl had never offended before, and witnesses testified to her good character, but^sbe could not or would not explain how silver came into her possession. There was nothing for her but conviction and nothing for the Judge but to pass sentence. As she stood before him there was tbe serene look of a martyr on her face, and the judge said mentally, "The assurance of criminals and the appearances they can assume are marvelous." The girl was led away, and tbe Judge left his office. Lighting a cigar, he strolled home. On the way he stopped at Sandiver's, his Jeweler, to get Ula watch, that bad been left for repairs, and while looking over the wares remembered that the anniversary of his marriage would come off in about a week^ He had decided op a brooch for a present on the occasion, and went over to where these articles were displayed. While looking over them a young man at his side divided with, him the attention of the sales? man. The judge left the store without [ making a selection. . The next evening while sitting in his" library before dinner there was a ring at the doorbell, and a note came in from Sandiver announcing that the day before he had got in a new lot of brooches and begging that the Judge would examine some that he had sent by the bearer. The judge read the note several times. Surely Sandiver was anxious to sell his goods; he had never sent samples to his house before. Competition seemed to be driving the drummers of reputable firms into people's homes. However, he had a little time before dinner and would look at the brooches. The salesman was brought in and produced articles that the Judge had seen in Sandiver's cases the day before, besides new ones. One of those he had seen and fancied was of' fercd at a third of the value put on it when he had first seen it. . "You are mistaken in the price of this," said th? Judge,—"It is worth •eepe»»e« n w w _Qu la'established by the fact that I lineae-T^"^ »**iZi'"" dlately returned through a confederate S&tnM^OrjilhMt*.. the Jewels except the one Bold to Ju^Cft v Lester, and the money for that is at yottf •ervlce.

"Captain," he said, "notify the attorney who defended Mary Easton that If he will draw up an application to the governor for a pardon I will i •lgu it." The inspector left the judge to muse ovet the many defects of justice. "Mary," said her lover the evening after her liberation, "for heaven's sake give up protecting that scapegrace brother of yours, I could never get fpu off tbis way again."

This is hardly ever the case, as the large tracts are very often owned by hundreds of different men, whose individual plots of ground bearing the. tea plants are carefully mapped out, so that each individual owner may cultivate and pick his own crop of tea. Bach owner likewise markets his own tea and puts his own special mark, or "chop," on the, packages. Hence the term "chop" signifies an individual growth or picking of tea by one owner. In an area of tea land of, say, a thousands acres, all apparently under one ownership, there may be. some forty, fifty or more owners of the plantation and consequently a like number of "chops" of tea. It must not be imagined that all these different owners of the tea get the same price -for their commodity—far from it, as each of these individual tea growers hag hli own secrets for lmproving the quality and flavor of tea. Take, for instance, the Amoy and Fu» elmu districts, w hence meat of the tea for the United States comes.

"Halt! I forbid* it!" Karsicheff shouted. "I am commandant here." "Silence!" thundered the courier, and, throwing open his great coat, he pointed to the gold star on his breast. "Silence, sir! I am Col. IIvo Ignatieff, chief of the brigade of imperial couriers of Siberia, and the ranking rep* resentative of the sovereign master of Russia! You obey my orders! Refuse at your peril! It is I who command you!" he concluded in a voice of thunder; turning to the soldiers, "Come, men, come." Col. Ignatieff rushed from the house, followed by the Cossacks. Nicholas went to his father. "You have made a mistake—that accursed courier is now your enemy." Katberine, from the moment the courier entered, had taken a position between him and Alerts and Ivan, who, silenced by reason of the gags which prevented their speech, heard all that passed. _ It^was- to pre vent theiroeing seen- by the .Courier that^ Katberine did this, and i.er plan succeeded. The" moment the courier disappeared she -went to—Karaicheff's -side. He was somewhat dazed by the exciting scene. "Quick," she said, "get yonder dogs Into the kameras before the courier somes back. Do you not see that there will be trouble if they get a chance to speak to him!" "But the guards—" "Fool! Are we not guards enough against a lot of unarmed and shackled prisoners? Up — up —all of you," shouted Katberine, turning to the prisoners. "Up, convicts, in line!". There was a murmur of dissent.

" The courier had scarcely left the room when the outer door again opened and two Cossacks entered, tupporting between them a man who was barely able to keep his feet, and "who was evidently nearly overcome by "a fierce struggle with the famished wolves. The lights, the people, and the -heat of the room somewhat revived him. and after being assisted to a chair he made a strong effort to recover himself. At the same moment the courier came back, bearing in his hand a bottle of brandy. As he entered, it was seen that he had not escaped from the battle wtth the wolves unscathed. His great-coat was ripped at the left shoulder and a stream of blood trickled down from what was evident* ly a severe wound, for the arm hung almost powerless by his side. "Lift him," said the courier, speaking to the Cossacks. They raised the man on the chair. "Here, drink this, my brave fellow, and you are all right," and so saying, the courier placed the bottle to the rescued man's lipB. "Try a little—a swallow or two; it will do you good." The sufferer made an. effort. He succeeded. He did take a swallow or two—in fact he took a dozen, for the fiery brandy went down his throat as if it had been smooth a» milk.—His eyes opened; a halt smile passed-over_. his face; with an effort he straightened himself^ up unassisted and rema rkedT^^ThaTs great stuffF*™- "°~ "Cobb!"

Cobb, for it was our - American friend, after feeling the branny COurs- ^ 4 ^ 6 through h l * veins, and after giving it his personal endorsement, half mechanically, suddenly gazed at the courier with a look of fearful anxiety. Then his breath came thick and fast, and his voice, broken with painful agitation, trembled as he spoke with feverish haste. "My wife—she is safe —my wife—are we—saved? Speak— I— speak!"

The Old, Old Story. "They shall not leave here alive?" said Nicholas. "Never!" was his mother's reply. - Distant shouts were heard. They grew nearer and nearer. There was an occasional shot. The rescuers were on their way back from thejr heroic effort Had they succeeded? The vnipss came nparyr A confused murmur and then over all the rest was heard the tones of the imperial courier. "Bear up—all is well. You are safe, madame.

She tlfrew open a door and pointed to the interior. "My God; Is there another?" exclaimed the courier. Cobb paled—a horrible picture rose before his mind, his eyes closed1, his features relaxed, and he fell helpless into the nrms of the Cossacks. "Take him there," shouted the courier to the Cossacks, pointing to the room where he had taken the other— who. was, in fact, the baroness. <i!rake him there and follow me!" The maw. obeyed and bore \^obb from the room. The courier started for the door but he had scarcely taken one step when the blood from his wound poured forth in a perfect torrent, and he staggered afid would pave fallen but for the friendly aid of the Nachalnik. To remove his coat and1 get a bandage was the work of only -a minute, but that minute seemed hours. For the howling of the wolves, now growing nearer and nearer, had increased to a volume that indicated that the pack was growing larger all the time. As the demoniac chorus of the famished brutes was borne to his ears, the courier made another effort to start to1 the rescue. But it was useless. He was faint from loss of blood. "My God! Russians—men," he appealed, "do you not hear the wolves? Do you not know that some poor creature is being even now, perhaps, torn to pieces. Will you not try to "save him?" The soldiers remained silent.

Karsicheff was shaking with rage and baffled malignity. "I shall hold you responsible for this," he said savagely to the courier. "And I shall hold myself responsible to have you punished as you deserve as a disgrace to the name of Russian and as a heartless brute, not fit to be trusted even with command of a pooloo- etape." "You!" began Karsicheff. Stop, sir! another word and I will have you put in irons—you recognize my authority, do you not!" said the courier/turning to the.Nachalnik. The soldier saluted! "You at least know what is due tc an imperial courier," said Ignatieff, "and you," he added, turning to Karsi- .Gheff, "will soon learn it in a lesson you will never forget!"

"In the summer of *76, about the time of Custer and the Little Big Horn, I was in Montana.

The old officers at that time had a habit of sending out a lieutenant with three or four men on scouting expeditions.

Of course not They knew the young lieutenant, had probably swapped tobacco with him, and they allowed him to pass by unharmed.'' -,Hs^*oetefrec* Use* a bsmker 0m e'museunf of old doors.

Baron Hayashl, the Japanese mlnlster to' London, te quoted a s aayiui?: Before the war we demanded that Russia recognize China's sovereignty over Manchuria. Today, after our victories and expellees, we are no longer content with our demand. After the fall of Tort Arthur our conditions will be still more extreme, and after taking Vladivostok they will be yet more extreme. The next battle -will be at Tie Pass. We shall continue hostilities throughout, the winter. We have given UP the plan of taking Tort Arthur by assault and will compel its capitulation by famine. Its fall would free 30,000 men nud enable them to reinforce our northern army, but we do not need them just now. Japa Movln* Aftraln. Advices from Mukden and nn official report to St. Petersburg indicate that t h e Japanese forces are again on the move. Gen. Kuropatkto'a reconnaissances establish the fact that they are massing on bis east flank and bodies of Japanese are moving up' the Lite^ river valley. St. Petersburg, however, etill believes that a serious engagement is not immediately at hand, but that it will require some weeks for (Marshal Oyama to be in shape for another attack. In the meantime the Russians cont i n u e t o fortify Tie Pass, and statements that Kuropatkih will not aDlhdon Mukden are received in St. Petersburg with some skepticism. St. Petersburg expects the Japanese to now redouble their efforts before Port Arthur and another sortie of the fleet Is expected. More •ad Battee aeNTCNCK t l R M O N S . The Maine Electloa.

Present events show better than any thing previously occurring that tto* war in the far east la to be literally to the death, and that all the vaat resources of the Russian empire are to be cant into the scale without hesitation. The flrst of these two events is the sailing of the Baltic fleet, eight battleships, four cruisers, a flotilla of torpedo bouts and torpedo boat destroy e n and 1*2 colliers, transports and supply ships, carrying enough to enable the fleet to remain at sea without touching a port until the scene of war is reached. The second event is the calling out of an immense additional army and a full complement of officers, to proceed to Manchuria as fast as they can be moved. The decision of the admiralty to send out the fleet in the face of the existing situation in the far east la evidence of the temper of the government to prosecute the war to a finish. It is understood that there was considerable divergence of expert opinion on the question of delaying the sailing of the fleet until the spring, but the emperor turned the scale in favor of immediate departure. St. Petersburg now practically concedes that Gen. Kuropatkln is falling back to Tie Pass and no serious stand is expected at Mukden. This movement is confirmed by dispatches from ^ ^ 4 e ^ ~ w h i e f r 4 n d l c a t e that thp Russian movement is being effected slowly, but in an orderly manner. The two armies are merely keeping in touch with earir other, no fighting of consequence being reported. Rain continues to fall and the roads are said to be almost impassable. Official figures from Toklo, which place the Japanese losses during all the engagements which constituted the battle of Liao Yang a t 17,500, make necessary a big reduction of the reported casualties of the great battle. According to military experts the Russian losses should not exceed those of the Japanese; in fact, as Russia was on the defensive, they should not be so great. The Tokio figures, therefore, would indicate that the total casualties were not more than 30,000. at Happiness is health of h e a r t Little sins never stay small.

Tbe statement of Capt. Berlinsky that the Russian cruiser Lena, which arrived in, San Francisco Sunday with foul boilers, left Vladivostok 31 days ago, has aroused considerable speculation. The average time of a fairly fast steamer from Vladivostok is from 28 to 30 days, and it is pointed out that the Lena would not have been permitted to leave Vladivostok in such condition that a month's voyage would virtually disable her. Local shipping men believe that the Lena has been so long patrolling the high seas in search of Japanese merchantmen and other vessels carrying contraband that she was forced to put in here for renovation. It is conceded In shipping circles that the main quest of the Lena was the steamship America, which flies the Japanese flag and which would be open to capture at any place on the WEATHER LORE.

The early Kanakas built their fast sailing canoes out of the body of a single tree, hollowing it out and staying the edges with strips of hard wood. These strips extended to the ends and • ^ covered—a space at both stem nod" Btern. The triangular sails were made of fine matting, and the little craft was steadied by an outrigger. The ruling chiefs and their families traveled In large double canoes, with a raised platform in the center for passengers. The building of a canoe was a very serious business. Offerings were made to the gods, and prayers were especially addressed to the fisherman's tutelary saint. A priest finaJly stood with the owner at the bow of the canoe and recited the last prayer in- unbroken silence; death and disaster were sure to follow If any extraneous noise disturbed the scene.—New York Times.

The Administration building is a replica of the government offices In Manila, while the Art and Education building reproduces in miniature the cathedral within the walled city, even the mellowed tints of age being faithfully rendered. A section of the ancient but still serviceable town wall has been reconstructed to serve the double purpose of a gateway to the show and a museum of arms and war relics. The other main edifices are types of TTIIpino homes, being built of undressed timber, bamboo and rattan, with thatched roofs and broad verandas. Then there are the tribal villages nestling under the trees, some of the hbu&es perched high up among the boughs, others on piles above the waters of the Arrowhead lake, all of them actual dwellings fashioned of native •materials by native workmanship andhandsome race, dressing well. living in pretty homes, skilled in weaving, dyeing, basket making, hat making, wood carving and other handicrafts, musicians of no mean merit, the one group of natives who came early and thoroughly under the influence of tbe early Spanish settlers. Very different are the Moros, who swept into tbe islands from the "Malay peninsula last of all, bringing with them their Mohammedan religion, also a knowledge of gunpowder acquired with the Koran from the Arabs—fanatics like their teachera. pirates, bloodthirsty, treacherous and vindictive fellows, ever at. war among themselves and with the whole outside world.

This information is collated in the Building of Commerce, where a unique and most effective method of exhibiting Is followed. In one hall are 'samples of all the articles produced for export, among which manila fiber, of course, holds the chief place of prominence, while in a» second hall are all the manufactures from every country that are imported and find a ready market among the populace. Thus the business man gets a dual lesson. He sees what he can profitably take fiom the islands, and also what he may prbfltaWy^serur to then* When it is added that a large number of representative Filipinos have been brought over to visit the Exposition aud study Amercan business methods and manufactures, it will be recognized that great benetit both to the islands and to the world at large must result from this work of mutual enlightenment.

This is one of the most important positions in the Order, and the best men in each county, the best organizers, the most influential and energetic, the ablest in mental equipment, should be chosen as deputies. Much depends on the grange getting the right start, and without a faithful, intelligent and hard working deputy thus to start'it the chances are that it will h^ve a puny,' weakly growth. No grange should be organized and then left aloue "to work out its own salvation." The wise deputy will make frequent visits upon it for instruction and to help in various ways. Once started right, its progress will be easier and surer. EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. Subscription Price $1 in Advance.

Ths wolves were closing in upon .him. '\ " They were on all sides, a famished, howling pack of derlli, their white fang? and ftery eyes showing with horrihle distinctness as they sprang at him. The rifle, swung with' all his strength from left to right, and from right to left, cleared * path for him a&4 BO sooner did one of the brutes tati tfeui a aapre of i t 8 fellows literally .toot 14 to <fce8* Aiaafc mm becoming exhausted. * ft w t t ^ ^ n u c h for him in his weakened state. One of the wolves, one larger than the rest, made a bound for his throat, but before it reached him sank in death agony with a bullet" in its brain. At the same moment, by the overturned sleigh, Alexis caught sight of tat? object of his heroic quest. It was a woman! With, white face she stood there, revolver in hand, her back protected by the sleigh. Shot after shot rang put, and as each time, with unerring arm, the bullet lodged in the body of a wolf, she gained a moment's respite from the cowardly brutes. But the end was bound to come. The last shot but one had been fired. As if by some devilish instinct the wolves seemed to know that their victim was now defenseless, and they prepared for a rush in all the strength or their numbers. ' With a hcwl that could have been Ee a r d a re ague a nother pack of the brutes had come down from the hills and joined the others. Then it was that the helpless woman uttered the wild shriek of agony that had reached the ears of her rescuer— had reached even to the courier in the etape. Alexis sprang forward. He found that the arm was a magazine rifle, ftftti with a prayer of thankfulness he , opened fire. Shot after shot, a perfect fusil ad e followed, and half a dozen of the brutes were lying bleeding in the Snow. Another moment and he had reached the woman. His face was covered with blood, his arms were torn, but he clasped her by "a strong «ffort and began the retreat to a place of safety. Repulsed by the shots, the wolves . had given way for a time, and then had made a simultaneous -rush to least on the carcasses of those slain by Alexis. But the feast did not last long. Maddened more than ever by the taste of blood, they sprang after Alexis and his now unconscious burden. "He has saved him!" shouted the courier at the moment, as he caught sight of Alexis, and then as he looked again he exclaimed: "My God, it is a woman! Meu, men! to the rescue!" The soldiers waited no longer. The fact that a woman was. in danger seemed to awaken all that was manly in their natures and they rushed to through his frame, an.4 befell at full length .on the floor. He had fainted' " ** CHAPTER XVII. T h t Courier's Mission. The courier bore,the Insensible form of the woman into the room occupied by Cobb and the baroness. As the door closed behind him, Karsicheff turned quickly t o Nicholas and said in a whisper: "I have a plan—wait!" v r s J Then ordering.the guard to resume their arms he gave the command to march the prisoners to the kameras. Alexis had revived sufficiently to move, and was supported by two of the Cossacks. The injuries of Alexis were fortunately slight. The fangs of the wolves had reached him in one or two places on the arms and on one cheek, but the latter proved to < be a mere scratch, though sufficient to draw blood, and the clothing had protected the arms. In answer to eager inquiries he explained that he did not see the face of the woman he had rescued, because just as he reached her she almost fell into his arms and in his struggle during the retreat he had not heard her speak. But it was the presence of Cobb— so entirely unlooked for, and so inexplicable— that furnished them a topic which kept them wondering for hours. That Cobb's presence had something to do with them, they felt certain, but now that he was here, how were they to let "him know that ^they—were n«ar^~ It is- the- rule,nn the prisons an 4 other privileges not usual- 4y*.4fcaaog4e4 T U * AetUr, aodresaed to officials, throughout SlberU, directed them to extend all aid and assistance to General Cobb' and his wife and her companion, Caroline Cobb, who were to travel across Siberia if. need be. And before he left St. Petersburg a passport for Caroline Cobb was in his possession. We pass over the long Journey of Cobb and his wife. After many adventures and more hardships they reached Stralensk and there discovered llda. The letters which Cobb had in his possession made him. a welcome guest at the house of the commandant at Stralensk and they bad but little difficulty in obtaining a private conversation with llda. It was from llda they learned to their great delight that Ivan and Alexis were at Chitka and that they Could reach that place with comparative ease. It was while on their journey to Chitka. that their sleigh was overturned and they were attacked by the wolves almost within shouting distance of the etape where Karischeff was in command. - Karischeff and Nicholas, after the doors of tire stockade had closed on the convicts, returned to the house. "Be on your guard, father," urged Nicholas, "you have made a danger- 95 59! awgt; . A Domestic Mystery. Teacher was explaining the meaning of the word recuperate.

The pack halted for a moment, and gave a long howl of rage. Another volley checked another forward movement, staggered akm —Two of side. Alexis g with his burden. "he soldiers sprang to his ope 7In another moment, bruised and ;ble"eding and faint, Alexis Nazlmoff staggered into the room; the courier held out his arms to receive the senseless woman from her rescuer. Alexis, with a sigh of unutterable relief, breathed a prayer of thanks, and then "as he gave the courier the woman whose life he had saved his brain reeled, the light faded from his eyes, his knees trembled, a shudder passed highroad to the mines for convoys to march two days and rest one; and as this was their resting place, they felt sure that the morning's light would bring some means of letting Cobb know that they were in the stockade. But what had brought Cobb and the baroness—for they felt sure it was the baroness, Cobb having spoken of his wife—to that out cf the way place? That was the puzzler, and it was to account ^or that fact that both Alexis and Ivan taxed their imagination. While they are in suspense we will enlighten our readers. General Cobb, after his marriage to tlie>oaroness, found himself in a position where he could afford to give up all the business interests that formerly occupied his time. From the moment Alexis had left St. Petersburg he had but one object in view—that was to rescue his friend from the horrors of Siberian exile, and if possible restore him to the position from which a chain of adverse circumstances had so cruelly deposed him. Or, if that were not possible, it was the intention of —Cobb, the rescue ofr Alexis once effected, to take him to America, the baroness having expressed a strong desire to give up her residence iu Europe and make her home in the country of her husband. Cobb's plans for the rescue of Alexis were warmly seconded by his wife, and it was determined to make an^ffort to effect the rescue of llda and Tvnn at t.hp s a m p timf> aa Alexis. Brotherly Love. "Marie, what do you want for a birthday present?" "A piano." "And you, Donald, what do yon want?" "I want an automobile, so as to be able to get out of the way quickly when Marie begins to play." No Cause for Alarm. "Such conduct," said the teacher to a rebellious pupil, "will * eventually bring your father's gray-hairs in sor row to the grave." "Don't you believe it," replied the incorrigible youngster. "The governoJ wears a wig. See?" The blow to the pride of Count Nazimoff, who had seen his son sentenced like a common convict, had been a severe one, and shortly after his son had arrived in Siberia the count was seized Ly a severe illness, the result oi the shock he had suffered. On his recovery his feelings had undergone a marked change. The tenderness and sympathy shown him on every hand had softened his nature, and the hard pride had now given placft to a pitiful yearnirig for the son he had loved so well. Hence it was that when. Gen. Cobb, having heard of Kirshkin's confession, and ' having brought influence to bear to verify the truth of the conspirator's story, appearedbefore Count Nazimoff to plead the cause of his son, he met with a reception the warmth of which pleased him. An imperial commissioner was sent to each of the convicts captured in the Nihilist rendezvous. They were closely questioned as to the events that had taken place on that eventful night, and their stories, one and all, served to exonerate Alexis and Olga and llda, and to lift from the shoulders of Ivan the responsibility for any complicity in or sympathy with the extreme Nihilists who sought the assassination of the czar. So it was that after months of perslstent and diligent exertion General Cobb had the assurance that the sub- W J nf thr> ntnpn yrer* thTownjJg** n a d a t length reached the czar, with"a strong probability that the ioaperial clemency so earnestly sought would not be denied. But even if his efforts In this, direction failed, Cobb had made up his mind that he would still succeed. He secured through the American minister an imperial passport to Siberia, nn^ ft InHor fmm^>hfl ftiifhorUlea ftlving him, *as an American traveler favorably disposed and friendly*to the Russian government, the righl; to visit V2EP N4W /S /LDA MCV3T??" ous enemy of the courier, and the slightest mistake may prove our ruin. Try to conciliate him—anything, so there can be no pretext for his going to extremes. Think what would be the consequences if he should make a report to the czar." Karischeff said nothing. -. He knew he had committed a grievous mistake in defying the courier and he felt ill at ease. The presence of Cobb and the baroness, too, was an addition^ source of danger. What if Cobb should discover the presence of Alexis! That he had not done so already was little short of a miracle. But if he should discover him and appeal to the courier for Alexis—especially after Alexis Information Wanted.

Fly Fishing, himself had won the lieart oi the courier—there was no question as to the result. Certainly the courier would never leave Alexis and Ivan in his power. The object now was to blind the courier if possible, to keep.Cobb from the knowledge of the presence of Alexis, and to have matters remain in atntii gun until thp onnrler and the hated American should depart. Katherine entered the room. She had discovered the identity of Cobb and the baroness. "Those people here," she said, "threatens danger. We must be on our guard all the time. A chance word may betray us into trouble, that will cost us dearly." "Olga?" asked Karischeff. "She is asleep," answered the countess, "and I would^shed no tear if she never would wake. Her cursed folly has helped to put us where we are. What is your plan about—about them?" she. asked, pointing in the direction of the convict quarters. "We must wait until the courier departs. His presence " Karischeff stopped suddenly. The door leading to the sleeping apartments opened and the courier entered the room. Producing his notebook, the courier in a peremptory tone demanded: "What is the name of that brave fellow who saved the woman from the wolves?' "I do not know it," replied Karischeff. "Then consult your lists and find out," was the sharp rejoinder. Nicholas saw, that his father was again getting on dangerous ground. He determined to come to his a 0 si stance. , .

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Very LIttte Use to Deny the Milk Was Diluted. Julius Kruttscbmitt of San Francisco, the general manager of the Southern Pacific Railroad, recently gave out the largest single order for steel rails that the business world has ever known. - A reporter, in discussing this order with Mr. Kruttscbmitt, called it a "daring one." "No," said the railroad magnate, smiling, "there was nothing daring about It. Daring things are those that have in them something risky, something Insecure. For instance, you might term 'daring' the well-known action of Hanks, the milkman, in the millionaire's houee." "Hanks, the milkman?' 'said the reporter, puzzled. r'^"~- "Yes, Hanks, themilkman. He,,one morning, forgot to water his milk. In the hall of his best customer he remembered this omission. A huge tub of fine, clear water stood on the floor by his side. There was no one to spy on him, and thrice, before the maid brought up the jugs, Hanks diluted his milk with a large measure filled from the tub. Then he served the young woman calmly and went on. "As he was bellowing down the next area the first customer's footman beckoned to him. He returned, and was ushered into the presence of the customer himself, a millionaire. " 'Hanks,' said the gentleman, 'I prefer -hereafter to water my own milk.* "Well, sir," said Hanks, "it's useless to deny the thing, for I suppose you were watching me while——' " 'No,' said the millionaire. 'No one was watching you. But the fact Is, Hanks, the children are taking medicinal baths, and the tub in the hall was full of sea water.' " Some Very Odd Plants. There are few plants that have not been utilized in one way or another by mankind for food, paper;.drugs, or in other ways. Among many not so well known may be mentioned the Japanese wax tree, bearing bunches of fruit growing like grapes which contain a species of wax used in making candles. Another tree, fouiM in the Pacific l«lands and known are the candle nut, yields a large quantity -of oil, while the kernels are strung together on a stick and lighted as a candle. The fruit of the candle tree is between three" Ttnd four feet in length and about an inch in diameter, and of a yellowish color. As they are seen hanging from the tree they present the appearance of a number of wax candles- The telegraph plant, which grows in India, is a slender, erect shrub, so called because of some resemblance to signals in the motion of its trifoliate leaves—the two side oner rising and falling alternately for a time, and then resting. Sometimes many of the leaves are in motion, and sometimes only a few, the greatest activity being in the early morning, and not depending on the wind.—Atlanta 'Constitution^ Absence.

One of the most interesting links between the present and the past is a man who can remember seeing Napoleon cross the Alps. His name is Ignace Botta and he is 105 years old. His health is good and his memory, is perfect, though he has led a hard life, sleeping in the open and living on bread and fruit. He may be seen every day in the streets of Cannes, selling brooms which he makes himself, and he has never begged and never come into conflict with the po- For Over l l i \ d h l Thirty Years ) ) D l l S ) S { ^ 1 I \ I N EXACT COPT Of WRAPPER. lice.
