An Italian laborer who w*s digging a road near Ard more yesterday afternoon unearthed fully a bushel of half dollars. The report spread and It was not long qntll almost the whole population of Ardmore, particularly the younger portion of it, went out to the old Saunders farm, where the treasure had been found. Sure enough, it was there, and the Italian was so confounded that he could only mumble incoherently. The corns lay scattered about on the ground and many were picked up and stowed away in pockets. When they were examined later, however, it was found that they were all counterfeit. The coins, which were good pieces of workmanship, bore the dates 1848 and 1851. Saunders, for whom the farm was named, was a counterfeiter. One day his place was surrounded by government officials. Saunders escaped them, however,, only to be captured a few days afterward in a hotel in Philadelphia. At his home was found a. wagon load of moulds and other material for making bogus coins. He was sent to prison for twenty years, but managed to get away in an ingeniously contrived box of his own making. This, unfortunately, was turned wrong side up and Saunders, upon being discovered, had to go back to jail to finish his term. Soon afterward he died of paralysis and was buried near Grassland. The coins found yesterday were specimens of his work. Inspectors from Philadelphia have taken them in charge and are trying to recover those which were carried away by persons who arrived soon after the find was made.—PhltadeTphTa Press. Used Diplomacy With the Boy. Hall Caine was praising the Ameri carr autumn. —— — J'I vlsited in October," he salad, " t h£ country house of a New York man. It was In New England, on a mountain side, and the splendid colors of the foliage— the scarlets and golds and innumerable flamelike tints—gave to th* still forests an indescribable magnificence. "And the leaves fell in a rain of color through the transparent air. In the garden, one afternoon, I heard a gardener say to his little son: " 'I wish you would rake up these dead leaves in a pile.' '"Oh, I don't feel like It," whined the boy. 'My back's sore and I've got a cramp in my wrist and there's-gtowing pains in my leg.' sr^^ ^ ^ " 'After you get *em rakeC up,' went or> the gardener calmly, 'you can make a nice, big bonfire out of them ani jump over it.'

Picturesque, indeed, are these men with their long hair braided across the top of the head, so that approaching them from the rear, as they repose for a moment from their labors, it Is difficult to tell the men from the women.

DISPOSING OF A VIPOSE TISSVE A man has actually appeared upon the scene who says that he has hammered off his adipose tissue with a mallet and at the same time hardened his flesh to the proverbial consistency of nails. It is rather difficult to feel convinced of the truth of this statement, in view of the fact that a similar kind of xylophone gymnastics is daily practised upon all beefsteaks of the boarding house variety for the purpose of rendering them juicy and tender. Though the mosquito may seem entirely irrelevant to the forego- IngTlt~rather obviously pops up~and~ into the argument, and in so doing suggests the question as to whether or not this winged auger could penet rate the-4eathera envelope of a subject so hammered Into the pink of cast Women in Government Employ. An official of the government printing office was talking the other evening o f t h e personnel of the women, employed in the big printery. He said the'civil service rules went into eff' at the office just ten years ago. The result has been to give the office much better class of women workers than those who were appointed prior to that time. "The women in the folding rooms the bindery and the press room now,'' .said the official, "are largely of the educated class. - Some of them are former school teachers, stenographers and the like, and I will add they are a credit to the government service." The statement was added that It frequently happens that these workers in the printing office are transferred to important clerical positions in the other departments by reason Of the high percentage they make—hmompetitlve examinations.—Washington Star. cause them to explode and scatter to the misty realm of otherwhere. It is rather a difficult question to answer satisfactorily on the fly and' without a considerable investment of thought! In fact it may be regarded somewhat in the light of a recondite proposition in view of its importance from both a physical and a hygienic point of view; for when the performer gracefully carroms on himself and the persistent pest he rids himself of worthless fat and destroys a natural conservator of malaria, thus killing two birds with one stone, or rather two mosquitoes wittr one hammer.

CNEWS OF fHE NATION NO HONORS TO BE PAID THE LATE SENATOR FROM OREGON. Canal Money. Rep. Williams moved to cut out tl e canal appropriation "from $16,600,000 to $6,858,383 in the house Thursday morning, stating that he had come to the conclusion that the latter sum was sufficient to meet the needs of the commission to January 15 next. The amount had been arrived at by taking the Indebtedness of the commission, which they had stated was 14,500,000. guiltjrkH* h*'! added to this the December esirreri timates, amounting to $2,358,333. An amendment was offered by Mr. Prince (111.) making the appropriation $10,000,000. He opposed the issuance of bonds. No bonds had been issued since the Spanish-American war. Besides, he said there were $136,000,000 in the treasury and $55,000,000 of government money in national banks. The house rejected the amendment Of Mr. Williams and adopted an 'amendment fixing the amount at $11,- 000,000. Without Honors. Vice-President Fairbanks will not appoint s committee of senators to attend the funeral of Senator John H. Mitchell, of Oregon, and it was the understanding that the senate will not follow the custom of setting aside a day for eulogies of the dead senator. On reaching this decision the vicepresident- did not.act on his own initiative. He received information that the friends of Mr. Mitchell would not ,ask for the appointment of a committee. It was clear that the elder senators were opposed to showing the usual honors paid a dead member, but if the Oregonian'8 friends had'Insisted upon appointment o r a committee one would have undoubtedly been appointed. Under the program that has been agreed upon the senate simply forgets that John H. Mitchell was a member at the time of his death. Never before was the senate confronted with suco an embarrassing situation. THE MARKETS. Detroit—Nearly all grades of cattle brought good prices in this market during the principal sales days.

Although a deathly pallor overspread her countenance! hardly a muscle quivered as Deputy Sheriff Spafford pronounced the fatal words: "I now proceed to execute the sentence of the law and may God have mercy on your soul." When the words were pronounced Deputy Sheriff Angus Mc- Auley sprung the trap and, the drop fell. A strenuous effort had been made (0 secure a reprieve for the murderess, but Gov.

He said: "I know of no law that is not as much for a woman as for a man. 1 consider that for me to meddle in this case would place me as executive of the state of Vermont and its laws in a ridiculous position."

He says: "I was a martyr to Kidney Trouble, but Dodd's Kidney Pills completely cured me. I shall always keep them on hand In case there should be any return of the old trouble, but I am thankful to say they did their work "Corner" in Pigeons. Having created a "corner" in English owl pigeons, Mr. John Brayshaw, a Keighley mechanic, has just sold his stock of 117 birds at auction for no less than £800. With his pigeons he won from. £79 to £80 a year in priza money; his sales have averaged about £100 a year, and he has carried off no fewer than twenty-three silver cups and other awards, including the eighty-guinea Esqualant trophy at the Crystal Palace, presented in memory of one of the most famous pigeonfanciers in the land.—London Tit-Bits. Owl Served for Quail. Lovers of game in this city h^ve been eating owl under the impression that the toothsome morsels served to them were quail. As expert evidence seems to be necessary to determine just what sort of birds are being served up, forNthe epicures of the city^perhaps tlhere is no realjcause for disgruntiement. If owl by another name tastes good why shouM. it not be a favorite dish?—San Francisco Chronicle. ^Ascertaining Size of Raindrops The largest raindrops, the bucketfuls that we tell about, are about onefifth of an inch in diameter. They are measured by allowing them to fall in flour. Each drop forms a pellet of dough. These pellets are compared with others obtained from drops of known size. A BRAIN WORKER. Must Have the Kind of Food That Nourishes Brain. "I am a literary man whose nervous energy is a great part of my stock in trade, and ordinarily I have little patience with breakfast foods and the extravagant claims made of them. But I cannot withhold my acknowledg- -mpnt nf the d£ht that I owe to Grape- Nuts food. "1 discovered long ago that the very bulkiness of the ordinary diet was not calculated to give one a clear head, the power of sustained, accurate thinking. 1 always felt heavy and sluggish in mind as well as body after eating the ordinary meal, which diverted the blood from the brain to the digestive apparatus. ''1 tried foods easy of digestion, but found them usually deficient in nutriment. I experimented with many breakfast foods and they, too, proved unsatisfactory, till I reached Grape- Nuts. And theo the problem, was solved. "Grape-Nuts agreed with me perfectly from the beginning, satisfying my hunger and supplying the nutriment that so many other prepared foods lack. "I had not been using it very Ion* before I found that I was turning ont an unusual quantity and quality ot work. Continued use has demonstrated to my entire satisfaction that Grape-Nuts food contains all the element* needed by the brain and nervous system ot the hard working public writer."

The railroads are very jealous of an all water route between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and knowing they cannot finally prevent the completion cf such a route, their aim is to delay it as long as possible, and their advocates in Congress will find much to criticise in the management of affairs and work on the Isthmus.

S Ansa/? crm2fa/XS&m&£&££E>mJTi? <W«BWWZ2? Assejr jzasr<fja/zar CHAPTER I. Held by the Enemy. It was night in Georgia. The misty moonbeams, filtered "through the latticed branches of the pinea, fell upon the figure of a man in blue w o o followed a well-worn path leading to a mansion situated on defeatable ground near Atlanta. Fierce and sanguinary battles had been fought all the way from Chattanooga, and the doom of the Gate City was sealed. Presently Atlanta and Its eavirous must fall Into the hands o f the victorious Sherman. Those •were troublous times for the Confederacy, and many a heart grew cold -With a vague fear while-facing the approaching disaster. Close behind this advancing figure a second might have been seen—a tall, lean fellow who wore the chevrons of * sergeant, though it would be impossible to tell whether his dusty wellworn garments stamped him a member of the blue or gray. Emerging from the pines the house lay before the leader, bathed in the flood of lunar light He came to a stand and gazed upon the scene as though certain emotions long since dead had been aroused to a new life. _Whlle he thus stood, the lanky sergeant joined him. "There It is, Shanks. I was a boy when last I looked on the old home, and it would hardly do to tell how many years ago that was. Groat changes have taken place here in Chat time. No doubt some of my old neighbors would think it rough that Fletcher Ridgeway's son should be with the army of invasion, but they know little of my life, and could never guess the powerful motives that bring m e here. Let's Advance, sergeant. I believe the house is deserted. Indeed, I am surprised to see it standing, with so many bands of plundering jayhawkers and guerrillas running through the country." "Just as ye say, sir," replied the "D»/, sir, pesky dry. Shall 1 raise a bucket?" "If you will. Then we will try to enter the, house. My night mission concerns the Interior, and the old hearth of the great sitting room in particular,. Please heaven they may be there." The windlass sent forth many a dreary creak, as if displeased at being compelled to again enter the field of labor; but the bucket of sparkling well-water, better than the nectar of the gods, was soon tilted tfpWn the curb, and after an absence of many years John quenched his thirst at the same foumata~that-haxr Berved him in boyhood. This pleasant duty finished, he ajdU vanced to the building. Whatever recollections were rioting through his mtnd—and they must have been legion —he did not allow them to appear upon the surface. Evidently this same John was capable of controlling his feelings to a remarkable extent. Of course the door was fast—he expected that. A window would grant the desired ingress. There was something repugnant about this mode of entrance, but during the stormy war times men who were soldiers met with so many strange adventures that these feel; had to be stifled to a greater or less extent. So John passed from one window to another, trying each in turn. Suo- -eess- did- not; come Immediately, btrthe jwas not discouraged. A man's character crbps~ow"treven in such small things of life, and John possessed pertinacity to a certainty. Finally he discovered a window thi t offered no resistance to his onslaught, and thus after the long lapse of years he once more entered the house that had been hre boyhood's home. Like a man walking in his sleep, he passed from one room to another. The moonlight found an entrance through' the many windqws, though they were festooned with cobwebs No sooner had he dropped upon th< explosions, to which the gas. which ground than violent hands were lai< on h i u . A muscular man, John se' about persuading his assailants tha' they- could not thus, act -with impunity Though three to one, they migh1 have met their match in this desperate soldier, but for the coming of rein forcemeats. Underline combined. as sault John was soon made a prisoner and ranting for breath awaited th< next move of his enemies. To his surprise only two of then' . seemed to wear any uniform. Th* others were civilians or blacks, and evidently belonged to some plants," tion. He looked in vain for signs of the sergeant, and would have believec the ether must have, made his escape only for the haunting memory of the single shot. What would 4hey do with him1 John gave no sign of alarm, and yet under the peculiar circumstances h* knew theynsilgh't be disposed to treaT him as a spy. Exasperated by the march of Sher man and the fate of Atlanta, whicl hung trembling in the balance, the Georgians were not in a mood for philosophy or mercy. Cruel wax brings out the most intense passions of men. Under these circumstances, therefore, he kept his ears on the alert to catch what was .said, when the man wearing a Confederate captain's uniform advanced and looked closely into his face. ou are a Yankee?**"he asfcedT curtly.

Scientists confirmed these assertions, and the first gasometerserected in London, by Samuel d e g g , so terrified the, people that no work* man would venture to light the gas Jets which had been placed on Westminster bridge.

I've paid back the debt, I reckon," and the mountaineer ground .his teeth at the recollection. They were now near the house, one oT those rambling Southern structures «o well adapted to the country, a picturesque building that would have delighted the eye of an artist. John seemed deeply interested. Memory awoke within him, and a strange thrill passed over his frame. "Tea, many happy days I spent here a t the old home before that, wretched affair made me an exile. See. there l a the same well—how often have I •slaked my thirst from its mossy buck- •ait^Aud yojxder ancient oak served m e as—a hiding-place from the little trine* imps who were my boy companions.

It served to reveal various objects in the rooms, and John's mTnd went back through the vista of years as each familiar scene aroused memories of the past. At length he stood in the room that seemed to be his goal. Here was the wide-throated chimney, the generous hearth with its old-fashlo] In front of a roaring fire how many times in the long ago Had he sat with his boy companions, cracking nuts and chattering like a lot of magpies, or listening to grandfather's weird stories of early life in the South. John was an intensely practical man, and quickly swept aside this halo of romance that threatened to overwhelm him. "Now to see whether the papers have lain there during these years, or been discovered. Come, my dear fellow, brace up and put the matter to n test." Just as he was bending down to remove one of the stones that formed the hearth, he heard the hoot of an owl from the outside. This was the signal arranged with the sergeant— it meant sudden danger. John wheeled and stepped to a window, but the dust was too thick on the niass to allow him a chance to The report of a gun sounded on the night air. »* This meant business beyond a peradventure, for In war times the dfcr charge of fire-arms is significant.. Whatever his mission to this home of his boyhood, it must for the present be postpone J He aeafn traversed the roomr, alr.Injr ?JI- t X open window. A Grim Alternative. Not a word was said as they tramped along the road. John's curiosity had been aroused, however, and he wondered whether his confession as to being a bachelor would have any bearing one way or another upon his possible fate as a spy. The growl of heavy guns could be heard in the distance, telling that Sherman's grip was hourly growing more tenacious, and the time close at hand when the Gate City must surrender to superior force. These sounds were unpleasant music in the ears of those whose sympathies rested with the distressed Southland. AN AWFUL SKIN HUMOR.

Lyndhurst—the name was familiar to John, and he remembered that in the days of his youth the Grangers lived there. Perhaps officers were quartered there, for the squire had always been a most ardent patriot, and no doubt from his vast resources had contributed much to help on the cause of the Confederacy. Under such circumstances, therefore, it was possible that a drum-head (urt-martial might be held, and a speedy execution take place. John hardly liked the thought of dying upon the scene of boyhood's pleasures, but the stern lessons of campaign life make light of even such a ghastly possibility. So he trudged along In the midst of sHent captors. Now and then his Merry Man Always Welcome. Dan Leno, the English comedian who died not long apnr mild: "Whan thoughts turned in the direction of the sergeant, but on each occasion the remembrance of that shot caused him to shrug his shoulders and mentally decide that poof Shanks had already gone upon the road that awaited him. They passed through % gate and entered upon well-kept grounds. Lyndhurst was considered the finest estate near Atlanta. Its peculiar position had thus far saved the historic old mansion with its delightful grounds from the bombarding guns of the enemy, but once the city fell Into the hands of the conquering Federals, Lyndhurst would feel the blighting influence, and, possibly, be left in ruins. Lights gleamed through the trees, showing that the mansion was far from being deserted. Straight up to the door they led the prisoner, and presently John found himself locked in a room. Voices in earnest conversation could be heard near by. Finally the door opened and some o n r ' entered. It was a man of about fifty whom John faced, a man with a most determined countenance. In spite of the passage of years he recognized, t h e other as his father's neighbor and J friend. Bssrtts Granger.

PLOT TO K I D N A P C O U N T W I T T * 8 A I P T 0 HAVE BKEN PLANNED. BY HOUSEHOLD GUARD. Peasant Uprising 8preade. Saturday's dispatches from Russia tell of several new mutinies of troops and sailors at various points, besides a plot to kidnap Count Wltte and another to assassinate Minister Durnovo and his assistant, M. Sebastianoff, superintendent of posts and telegraphs. Tho most alarming of the several mutinies reported occurred in St. Petersburg itself, t w o battalions of marines refusing to obey orders to proceed to Krohstadt until martial law w a s raised there. It was found necessary to call out troQPfl_to force the men to leava their barracks and embark. It was7 feared that the revolt would spread even to the troops themselves. The plot to kidnap Count Witte Is alleged to have been arranged by some of the czar's household guard. It Is persistently rumored that the premier will resign and that Count Alexis Ignatieff will be appointed military dictator on Monday. Serious disorders are reported from Warsaw and other points in Poland. The radical papers at Warsaw have brought about a run on the banks there that may prove serious, the object being the exhaustion of the gold reserve. The peasant uprising is steadily spreading^ the latest evidence of its spread being found In the vicinity of Peterhof and Gatchina. At Saratoft there are said to be over 50,000 peasants in the field, well armed, deterjffiLlneiL^ lo- reaiat a n y attempt -ofr^thenew governor, Maximovitch, to carry out the—bloodthirsty order issued to the Cossacks on his accession to office, which was in efTect an order to slay right and left. Maximovitch made a sorry exhibition, of incapacity when he was governor of Warsaw and it to not expected he will make a success 0? his n e w office. Dispatches from various sources show the situation -at Harbin and Vladivostok is more serious than ever and that the mutineers have almost complete controljof both cities. ^Previous advices to the effect that mutinous soldiers have killed several of- 1 fleers are confirmed. Fresh disorders are reported from Kronstadt. It is said that the loyal troops there were obliged to fire on mutineers. Riots are also reported to have taken place among the troops returning from Manchuria, At Sizian rioters are reported to have sacked the railway station A BRIEF SKETCH OF HER LIFE € How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth ant* How the "Panic of '73" Caused it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores.

They had four children, three sons and a daughter. I In those good old-fashioned days few drugs were used in medicines; people relied upon nature's remedies, roots and herbs, which are t o d a y recognized as more potent and efficacious in controlling diseases than any combination of drugs. Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took a deep interest in medicine, in botany— the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics, .and^ power over disease; s h e believed* that as nature so bountifully provides food for the body s o she also provides medicine for the ills and weaknesses of the body, in the roots and herbs of the field, and as a wife, mother and sympathetic friend, s h e often made use of her knowledge of roots and herbs in preparing medicines for her family and friends. Knowing of so much suffering among her sex, after much study and research, Mrs. Pinkham believed that the d i s e a s e s of women have a common cause, and she set to work to nnd a common remedy—not at that time as a source of profit, but simplj How her efforts have been rewarded the women of the world know to-day. In 1873 the financial crisis struck J^ynn. Its length and severity w a s too much for the large real e s t a t e interests of the Pinkham family, a s this class of business suffered most from this fearful depression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. At this point the history of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound commences: The three sons and daughter, with their mother, combined forces to restore the family fortune. They resolved to give to the world the vegetable compound that Mrs. Pinkham The Gate of Italy. i That part of the Valley of the Adige j which is in the vicinity of Trent and j 'Roveredo, is known a s the ''Gate of j Italy."

He says: "It is nonsense to talk of the boycott as dying out. The commercial situation in South China is absolutely at the mercy of the guilds. There are 71 of these, and they control trade with an iron hand and they have given -orders not to handle American goods. It is almost impossible to get at them. Of course, we have treaties guai anteeing the free circulation of our goods, but supposing the coolies on the docks, the carriers on. the streets and everybody connected with the handling of goods refuses to touch them, what are you to do*/ ' "American houses'in Canton are full to the roof with flour, and they cannot budge it. In the meantime, Australian merchants are chartering everything they can get their hands on to rush their inferior flour into the market to take advantage of our difficulty. "The Chinese merchants admit that the flour Is not as good as ours, but they are committed to this war on American products and are preparer to make sacrifices to carry it our. j "Not only the Australians, but the Japanese also, are taking advantage of the boycott to get our business. Cotton mills are being established in China by Japanese houses, and with cheap labor and no transportation charges they are in a position t o drive us out of the field. They will also develop the steel ore of Korea and probably the oil. In thig way our vast kerosene and steel business there will be taken over by the Japanese. "The"only thing that could raise the boycott would be to rescind the Chinese exclusion laws, and this, of course, will not be done. It looks a s though o u r , business relations with China were doomed. The boycott is setting worse every day there." The Coat of Government.

Its s u c c e s s In those c a s e s h a d been wonderful—its fame had spread, and calls were coming from m i l e * around for this efficacious v e g e t a b l e compound. " They had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory w a s t h e kitchen, where roots and herbs w e r e steeped on the s t o r e , gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came t h e question of selling it, for a l w a y s before they had g i v e n it a w a y free. They hired a Job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth t h e merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these pamphlets w e r e distributed by the Pinkham s o n s in Boston, N e w York and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to' a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and the demand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts, t h e family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising o n *> small scale, and from that time t h e w a s assured, until to-day, Lydia JBL Pink ham_and he r__ Vegetable_jCoiapoun<i have become household words everywhere, and thousands of pounds . o t roots and herbs are used annually in making this great remedy for w o m a n ' s ills. Although Lydia E. Pinkham passed) to her reward some years ago, the perpetuation of her great work w a r guarded by her foresight. During her long and eventful experience she was ever methodical i n her work and w a s careful to p r e s e n t a record of every case that came to her attention. The c a s e of every s i c k woman who applied to her for a d v i c e —and there w e r e thousands—received careful study, and t h e details, including symptoms, treatment and results, were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with thousands made s i n c e / a r e Yvailsble t o sick women the world over, and represent a vast collaboration of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills which, for authenticity and accuracy, can hardly be equaled in any library in the world. Another act of foresight on t h e . p a r t of Lydia EL Pinkham w a s to s e e t h a t some one of her family w a s trained tocarry on her work, and with t h a i , e n d in view, for years before heVTBeath, had as her chief assistant her daugfcter- in.lawr thP.pr<>s«nT Mm PinVham Therefore, under the guidance a n d careful training of Lydia E . P i n k h a m . and a vnst experience of her o w n . covering twenty-five years, the present Mrs. Pinkham is exceptionally well equipped to advise sick women, which she is a l w a y s glad to do free of charge. The record of Lydia E . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made of simple herbs and roots, is a proud and peerless one. It is a record of constant conquest over the obstinate ills of women, greater than that of any other one medicine of its kind in the world, and will ever stand as a monument to. that noble woman whose . n a m e its> bears.

The scene at the works Is one of dire havoc. The nitro-glycerin house is a total wreck, also the "dope" house. The packing houses look as though they had been bombarded with heavy guns, and the engine room and other buildings more or less damaged.

Owen ol Pontiac was In town Friday and Saturday last, exhibiting the Fcrde lighting plant. The Forde is similiar to the other gasoline plants in town but'is a pressure plant and gives a beautiful light. Anyone thinking of putting in a plant would do well to correspond witb'Mr. Owen.

' Everything possible was done to restore life, bnt life was extinct. Bert was an exemplary young man. refined and cultured, careful and painstaking, pure minded and kind hearted. Always ready to do his part in the society to which he belonged. Truely we cau say the world is better for his having l.ved iu it. His life resembling a "snow flake which leaves a mark but not a stain." Bert leaves a widowed mother with whom he lived, and a brother in California. And Miss A ins worth leaves a widowed mother and a brother; who.have the sympathy of this entire community in this sad bereavement.

"I presume there is little need of my telling you, my man that you are in a .fair way of stretching hemp.

On the contrary, I have every reason for desiring to live, but as a soldier I long ago made up my mind to face the worst manfully when it came." "But there is a peculiar stigma attached to the fate of a spy—unmerited, I adroit. It has always been so. To fall in battle is honorable—to be hung a disgrace." "Granted—yet not being a spy I take Httle interest in the controversy. You have not come here to engage in an argument, squire." "Ah! you know me?" "That is the penalty for being a prominent man, sir. Every one has heard of Squire Granger and his lovely home." agjne smy distress at the prospect to come. What is your name?" "John Emmett," replied the prisoner, which was true enough a s far as it went. "Then listen to me. I am about to s i v e you one chance for your life. Refuse ii^Jf you like, but the penalty it death." ~Go on—I am ready to hear you," said Emmett, calmly. One glance at that determined face told him Squire Granger meant aj! he gald, and that a refusal to accept the contract would, be the signal for a hasty execution. "What is your daughter's name?'' "It does not matter—stilt, you Would have to know—it is Mollie Granger." "She cannot be twenty, as yet." "Just eighteen.

TJhder~ordinary clrcum stances I would as soon see my child dead as the wife of a Yankee. To save Lyndhurst we are ready to do even this. If you consent I have a solemn contract here which you must sign." "A contract—kindly tell me Its nature. It may put a different face on the matter" "It is simply an agreement by means Mollie as your wife—in fact, to be a stranger to her^ unless she of her own rfree will decides otherwise." "And you tell me she has consented to this?" "I have said so. Expect nothing but coldness from her. She is a Georgia girl and bitterly opposed to all Northern soldiers.

MMS^M thing to do with this departure from * his usual nonchalance, or it may be, t h e presence of MoHte Granger arouy" ed a peculiar eensatioh within h l i bachelor/heart. The girl was, as oold as ice, and beyond one contemptuous look, never vouchsafed him a glance. John found himself smiling at tfct ridiculous nature of his position. U f a Is sweet to nearly every human being, and few men would have refused to accent it, even though the inevitable result was a sacrifice of personal liberty. She stood beside him while the parson went through the service .hastily* as though a little ashamed of the part he took, but ready to assist the squire in his scheme to save Lyndhurst. When the words "to love, honor and obey" were read, John saw her scarlet lip curl In contempt, while the color momentarily left her face; but she gave a little affirmative nod Some spirit possessed him on his part to exclaim with more that usual emphasis "I will" when the usual "Listen to^me.

It was by accident that John's hand touched that of the girl. He was amazed at feeling a strange thrill of which you swear never to. claim, ^fihoot through his frame, and ready to laugh at himself for such foolishness; but it gave him a sensation he had never experienced before, and which he would remember. Again he was left alone with the planter^ - -, "Allow me to congratulate you," said the other, with a sneer in his voice.

I have grown somewhat cynical regarding the happiness .oTTSoso w S o l v e d , and; long" ago~re-~ -solved to remain single."

Life was sweet to him, for ha had much to accomplish, duties to perform. Bes! des_what mattered it under these peculiar circumstances? As yet the romance in the affair did not appeal to him. "Before I decide one way or the other, will you allow me to see the young lady who has offered herself a sacrifice in order to save Lyndhurst?" "I don't see why you show any curiosity in the matter, as she will be your wife; in name only. However, Mollie.

Tell me, Yankee, will you accept and live?" John held his breath. He had not expected to see such a charming girl as the one who raised her head and looked coldly, yet with some little show of curiosity, toward him. "I will sign the paper, squire." he said, quietly, while to himself he-muttered: "If I have to be sacrificed on the altar of connubial folly, I could hardly wish for a more interesting partner in the ceremony."

"Are you satisfied, squire?" asked the prisoner, as the other put the papers away. "I believe it is all right." "Then allow me to depart in peace.'- The squire raised his heavy eyebrows. "My dear colonel, you certainly must have misunderstood me. I said nothing at all about giving you liberty. It is against my principles to assist the enemy." "Sir, I understood that the reward which was to follow my—er—sacrifice of bachelor principles was to be freedom./' John showed some signs of annoyance, though too diplomatic to even raise his voice above the ordinary pitch.

"Gentlemen, kindly show Colonel Emmett, my Federal son-in-law, to his boudoir. I hold you responsible for his appearance in the morning." As the squire spoke a hand was laid upon each of John's shoulders. . "I will go with you quietly, gentlemen. No violence, if you please, or you will find yourselves' handling a desperate man," was what the Federal said, and his manner impressed them «o far that they used no undue familiarity. The sarcasm of tbe squire's words could be plainly seen when the prisoner was ushered in the "boudoir" in question—a strong room that, had evidently served as a prison on moro than one occasion, perhaps for r * fractory slaves.

A curious custom was observed when the Forrest mill, Bacup, was restarted last week, after having changed hands. About forty persons assembled in one of the rooms, and a "consecration" service was held. Hymns were sung by the assembled persons and afterward prayers were offered for the success of the undertaking.

Car Floor Fell With Passengers. A curious accident happened recently to the Venice-Milan express a few miles from Milan. The axles of two wheels of the las^ carriage broke and the wheels became detached from the carriage, carrying away a part of the flooring with them. The passengers, feeling the floor give way, clung to the baggage rack and anything else they could catch hold of. Being unable to sound the alarm signal, the express continued its way. When at last the engine driver noticed there was sometUng wrong and,pulled up, almost all the passengers In the wrecked car fainted. Some of them were seriously hurt. Geese for Hungry Russians.

A woman rushed into a fashionable millinery establishment which she had left only an hour before with a new hat that cost her $75. She had returned to discard the elaborate headgear. "Why, madam, what is the trouble with this hat?" the milliner asked. "What is the matter?" gasped the purchaser.—"There 1« much the matter. Why, I would not wear that again until that bird with the big wing is removed or set in a different position." "But that is the style," said the milliner. "Style or no style it has got to go," said the purchaser. "I will never wear that hat until I can go about without the wings of birds sticking in the eyes of men, and especially horrid men like the horrid one that told me tfcat 'one bird in the bush is worth two in a hat.' " The bird in the hat was removed. Seedtime and Harvest. As o'er his furrowed flelds, which lie Beneath a coldly dropping sky.

Westfleld, 111., Dec. 18th (Special)— AH who are suffering with Bright's Disease, should read carefully the following letter from the Rev. G. L. Good of this place. He says:.—-- "I feel it is my duty to tell you of the wonderful benefit I have received from the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I am a Minister of the Gospel, and in my work, I am frequently exposed to all weathers: Six years ago, I was laid up sick. I doctored with a number of physicians, and' finally consulted a specialist, but without success. They all told me I had Bright's Disease. I was in a bad way and almost helpless when, thank God, I heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills. They saved my life. I took sixteen boxes and now I am cured. Tne first day Itook them I felt relief. When I began I weighed only one hundred and five pounds, now I weigh one hundred and sfcty-nve and I am the picture of health. I recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to all my friends who have Kidney Trouble and I pray to God that other sufferers wul read these Words and be helped, by them." Work in Painting Portrait.

The Empress Dowager of China was sold into slavery at the age of eleven, to save her family from starvation. Afterwards, she was presented to the late Emperor, and, upon his wife's death, became Empress. Her /eet were never bound, and she was taught to read after persistent pleading. The sterling - qualities of this wonderful woman, like those of Pillsbury's Vltbs, have overcome every obstacle, Arid she holds herself _al_the head of China, as does Vitos at the bead of breakfast foods.

A Gentle Servant [Original.] Colonel Colin wood commanded th< — t h Haidarabad native Infantry.

JSearlj all t h e young man's brother officer! were gentlemen born, a n d many oj them younger sons of nobles. Colin wood w a s snubbed for twenty years and a s soon as he w a s promoted to tin command of a regiment commenced o systematic snubbing of every officer Tjeneatb him in rank excepting tnos* connected with the nobility. The colonel w a s especially hard or his servants. H e seemed to consldei any s e i w a h f a s ~ a necessary^vltTiTidTr - native Indian servant a s a worm of thf dust. Among those who attended bin; were an Irishman named Malony ant a native named Haroutune. Malonj treated all natives as his master treated his inferiors. Haroutune w a s very different from both the colonel and thf Irishman. H e w a s as gentle,as a worn an. He w a s married .to a soft eyed young Indian, and they had three chii dren, on whom they both doted. Thev w e r e very frugal, their one supreme object being to accumulate something for their little ones. One day Colonel Colinwood missed :i land. H e promised t o d o so, but before h e could make his arrangements tow^wrrVtortd ttset--ft-fafce Hijujiar-te that of her children. The distracted man followed her to her grave arid completed his preparations t o leave a country that had become-a horror to him. The night before he w a s to sail he was awakened b y n choking sensation and. grasping what w a s coiled about his neck, tore it away and threw it to the other side o f the room. The next morning a servant w e n t to...awaken, him and found his dead body terribly swollen. H e bad been bitten o n the hand by one of tke most deadly snakes in India. E T H A N T. HOWE.

Haroutune w a s sent to prison to serve a term of fifteen years. Not long after the loss of the diamond Malony left the colonel's service to return to the British isles. Eight years later Colinwood, having been invalided home, found his former servant living "iu clover." Setting detective.: on his track, the coionel unearthed the fact th;it he had disposed of a valuable i diamond, and his prosperity dateil t from the sale.

This gave the poor fellow a great deal of liberty Not long before his term expired' n -Siialie .charmer gave, an exhibition at the prison, and Haroutune saw him perform Among other things, the .snake charmer would place a bird the same apartment with a snake.

A high government official declares that there is no use to longer deny the fact that the TJnIEed SUtes^golF eminent and the Euroi>ean powers are apprehensive regarding the conditions in China, and that a serious outbreak more serious than the Boxer uprising is likely to happen at any time. This government has decided that it will not be "caught napping," as the official expressed it, and that it proposes to be In a position to protect American lives and property when the critical stage of the situation is reached. ' Onq of the brigade posts will be located at Camp McKlnley and the other- at_CUunp-Stotsenberg^AndGen. Frederick Funston will be placed in command of one of the posts, while Gen. Tasker H.

These troops will sail Feb. J, some of them going by way of New York and through the Suez canal, and the others will sail from San.Francisco. These troops will be divided between the two posts. Later it is expected to increase the force at each post by one, brigade each. It is the intention of the war department to have the troops in command of a brigadier-general of experience, so that there can be brigade maneuvres, and that when the emergency arises the United States will be in a position to protect their citizens and their property. .

It dawned upon John's mind that his eacajje mnst have been discovered, and the overseer sent out by Squire Granger to arouse any neighboring camp, that searching parties might scow the neighborhood. 1 Perhaps the man shrewdly suspected that John would return to the scene of his capture, divining that he had the deserted Lidgeway. the gardens _|rees. They ^pTrTl-of the game would show, A short consultation ensued among the Confederate officers. John, with his hands bound and a guard on either side, appeared to take little interest in the proceedings until he was.again brought forward to the Are, and found several pairs of keen eyes upon him. "Tour name is John Bmmett?" was asked. "That Is true."

A fringe of trees offered slight encouragement in this line, and he immediately endeavored To make the ~mosr~oT fhe opportunity.' * la order to further the deception John secured u three-foot splinter of wood^and-wlth this he made-sun eavage thrusts into bushes, and showed considerable enthusiasm in the hunt for the biding Yankee.

There followed a .shoot of rage, and a human cyclone descended upon him; with arms flying like flails and a bellowing voice de- _ |nandlng satisfaction. Vv John was disgusted, seeing discov- • try in this incident. He might still nave fled, but that was not according spy ^ ^ "I am an officer in the Union army, but deny the last part of your accusation." •Thenwhyareyouhere?" Concealment was useless, since he felt that his cousin had already guessed his identity. "I desired to see my old home, and believed this place to be neutral ground," he replied boldly. The major laughed harshly, vindictively, John thought, and he could understand why, since It had developed that this man was a suitor for the hand of Mollie Granger, the Georgia girl, who only a few hours before had been made his wife through the decree ofTief father. ~ — "You are John Emmett Ridgeway, a cousin of Capt. Crockett here?" pursued the Confederate. i t would- be useless- to deny it. Mypresence here at my old home sets the seal of truth upon my assertion. I am no spy." ^Thatremainfr^OLUj "Walt.

"Give me time to think it over." "Just five minutes, no more. 1 shall not approach you again on the subject. If you refuse you -know the penalty. At any rate, I believe I can yet find what I want without your assistance." He stood, holding his watch in his band. Already John had decided that it was folly to think of putting any confidence in this man, whom he knew of old. Besides, another thing helped Mm to decided As his eyes ranged over the Pushes he caught a fleeting glimpse of a hea'd that was momentarily raised and then as speedily dropped out of sight, not before he had recognized the falls* to the ground to ht easily ptohjCnnTin thetr dmsed oondiUon.

A New Being. . Shepard, 111., Jan. 8th (Special)— Mrs. Sarah S. Rowe, who is residing here, says she feels like "A New Being," although she is in her fifty-seventh year. Why? because she has taken Dodd's Kidney Pills, that well known medicine that has put new life Tntootd bodies, and hss come as a God-send into homes of sorrow and suffering. She says:— . « . , "No one knows what awful torture homely_Jeatures_Df_ Sergeant -fhuika~ ^sufferedwttlr Rheumatism- and-fetd- The time is up, cousin," said Crock ett.

So he met his adversary face to face, and a furious hand-to-hand struggle ensued. Attracted by the row others came hurrying up, and it was speedily dis- •covered that the trooper's adversary, the mOa who fought with the skill of a professional boxer, was an utter stranger. "Surround them both—by my life vre*ve cornered the fox," shouted the major, and John caught more than 'saUsXaction in his strident mockery. The- end did not surprise John—he was sentence^ to be hanged at the break of day. "j^,7^| bje.jreea found himself again and roughly handled. "To the Are with him. I am curious to see this Yankee spy who has in one night run across itiy path and blackened ray chances for future happiness," said the major, and John could only dimly guess what it all meant, though his mind at once reverted to Mollie. "Do you identify him. Peters?" demanded the officer, as the overseer bent forward and pered into the face of the prisoner. V_ "Positively—it's the same critter, major." "That's bad—for him. I'm afraid Mollie will be wife and widow in one night. Here comes Crockett.

"My dear fellow, believe me. I' am sorry to find you In such a trap," remarked Crockett. "But you"voted with the rest." said John, quickly. "It. would have made no difference —the majority was against you and—" looking around cautiously—"I had an object in making them believe we were old-time foes." • His words and manner might have deceived some men, and aroused hopes that would never be fulfilled; but Colonel John remembered this cousin of old}* remembered that he never, acted without some deep motive back of It. Hence, he maintained his cool manner. , . - "Then you really take an interest in my welfare? It pleases me to know It. Crockett." "We are £t the same blood. 1 should' be sorry to have a Ridgeway .hung, and here on the old grounds' of all places in the world." "That is encouraging. Can you do "anythjasulieujejv^rt. the little cere* Well, have your own wsy, and stretch hemp," with which he turned upon his heel and walked off. Time passed on. Once more the lights were flashing about the windows of the old mansion, for Crockett, inspired with new zeal after his interview with / his cousin, had again entered upon a search for the missing packet. More than once John glanced that way, a little uneasy lest the other might by a turn of fortune discover the loose stone in the hearth. Thus he waited, having" confidence in the ability of the sergeant to ac complish something, for the other was an old campaigner. The night was nearing Its end, and presently in the east would come thf blush of early morn. Already the mocking bird's twitter could be heard among the trees heralding the coming of the day. when Major.Worden arose find cailed to one of his men. "Fetch the rope! Bob.

A limb belonging to a monster Itve oak close to the fire offered a fine opportunity, and the same Bob proceeded to -cast the rope over it, which feat was accomplished after a few ineffectual tosses. ' "Let me make the loop," said the major, eager to have a hand in the execution, for somehow he had taken a sudden hatred for this Federal soldier, whom desiny had thrown across his path. Jealousy is a demon that reckons little of consequences, when the flame has been once aroused, and this was the true cause of Worden's hatred.

He saw his men gathered around a bound and gagged figure, but to his amazement and chagrin, instead of recognizing the man doomed to die at •Sawn, he found himself looking upon theguard who had been left to water the other. ' Colonel John was gdne! The guard being released was imm'ediately overwhelmed with questions, but could tell little about it all. He had received a sudden severe blow on the head, caught a. glimpse of a gaunt face bending overvhim, and felt rough hands laid on his person when unconsciousness relieved him of his senses. Confusion ensued, but the search was fruitless. Having had plenty of time in which to make their escape the fugitives were now far away, perhaps within the Union lines. Major Worden could only gnash his teeth with rage, and renew his oath to make the charming Mollie a widow should the opportunity ever come within his reach again. (To be continued,). "The doctor said my condition was due to overwork and close confluement* and .that he very much feared that consumption would set in. For several months I took one kind of medicine after another, but with no good effect—In fact, I seemed to grow worse. "Then I determined to quit all medicines, give up coffee and see what Grape-Nuts food would do for me. 1 began to eat Grape-Nuts with sugar and cream and bread and butter threo times a day. "The effect was surprising! I began to gain flesh and strength forthwith, my nerves quieted down and grew normally steady and sound, sweet sleep came back to me.

Writing of schools for Chinese children a resident of China says: "Usually t h e father teaches his sons tbe first rules of arithmetic, reading and drawing. But when his son is t» years old he sends him to schooi, so that the teacher can be tormented with him. The school is 3» most cases the private undertaking of some better situo » ^ r^n^se or of a small communlty; the government has" rarely a'nythlng to do with It. The teacher, a former disappointed expectant official, does his best to pour into his scholars his own scanty knowledge. The value of such a school education is of course very small. In spite of this, many well-established Chinese merchants in the treaty ports have had no other school education and have attained at most only to some pigeon English, and yet they are in active and successful dealings with the Europeans, knowing well how to count and to hold their own. We. have to sdmire the gift of preception and the business capacity of th« Chinese under such circumstances as these. "School lasts usually from 8 o'clock in the morning till sunset, with one hour's break for the midday meal. Chinese boys have no Sunday, but on the way to and from school there is as much rushing about and playing as with our schoolboys at home. Then the primer and the slate, wrapped up a cloth, are quickly laid on the ground when it is the time to give u cuff or a blow. We see boys enjoying the games of ball, blind man's buff,' soldiers, robbers or horses, where the pigtail serves as reins, flying kites and many other well-known games. "Girls as a rule are not sent to school; the mother superintends their training in housework. As soon as the girls are old enujgh they are taught to cook, sew, make and mend clothes and indeed to do all domestic work. But the enlightened Chinese sends his daughter to school when the nearness of a mission or' some other school gives, him an opportunity. which the ship shall touch he shalT be set on shore!

David and Zebuloir, bachelors, are old cronies—not so old that' they have to tie their teeth in with brown yarn, you understand, but old enough to have settled down to the serious matters of life, such as hair invigorators and obesity belts. For a long time they have lived together, occupying adjoining rooms, between which the door is seldom .closed. According to the testimony of both, neither of them is given to talking in his sleep. The other night, however, Zebulon dreamed that he was telling a funny story to David. It seemed excruciatingly funny to Zebulon and he was annoyed at David's mapparent inability to see the humor of it, so he told it again, emphasizing the point of. the Joke so energetically that he actually spoke aloud, thus waking himself.

For a moment he lay, trying to re- .call the story, which ou ihe instant of waking, had vanished f/om his mind, when suddenly David, in the next room, uttered a loud laugh, which, in turn, awoke him. Zebulon chopped out of bed and went to David's room. "What are you laughing at?" he asked. "Did I laugh aloud?" David wanted to know. "I thought I did." "You certainly did. Were you asjeep?" "Yes," said David; "I woke myself laughing at a funny story you were telling me." He then went ahead and told the story, which 'Zebulon recognized as the one he had dreamed of felling to David.

Railroad Commissioner A'twood'a showing of Michigan earnings of railroads during the first eleven months of the year is.pointed to as a reason why the valuation of the roads to be fixed by the state board of assessors must show an increase. The showing made by the commissioner is that the earnings of the past year have increased over $4,000,000.

The new President of the New York Life Insurance company will get only half the salary that McCall drew and ifc is reported he will be required to do twice as much work.

The discussion of the Philip-, pine tariff bill, in congress, brought out a great deal ot interesting matter, and just as it. did when the question was put at a previous session, it, is spiiting the parties upland aligning the congressmen from sugar producting states on one side and most of the congress* men from non sugar producting states upon the other.

The liquor trade is alarmed by {Be discovery-* that Philadelphia 'has'consumed for the year ending July 1, $45,213 worth less of whisky and 174,700 worth less of beer than were consumed the preceding j ear. Philadelphia is reforming in more senses than one. The Ohio Anti-Saloon League anuounoee its program for the incoming legislative session, as follows: First a nd foremost, the league will insist that the Brannock law be put into effective form so as tip carry out its original purpose to protect residential sections of our great cities. The. second measure for which the league will make a determined effort is the "blind tiger and speakeasy bill." This will be a law enforcement measure, ratlitr than a temperance measure. It wiirgive~officers the right to enter speakeasiei, and seize the intoxicating liquors there illegally kopt for sale. _ , _ _ It is aunounced _that Captain Frank dent Boose y«j* governor of Oklahoma, has put himself at the head of an antiprohibition movement to prevent the adoption of a temperance clause in the new statehood bill. This temperance clause was championed in the last congress by Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire and supported by other New England senators. It would be insufferable that Captain Franz should be allowed to "rough ride" over the concience of America iu this this respect. If he has announced his devotion to the liquor interests in this way, let the Chris tian people of the land promptly take up the challenge thrown down and wage a war to the finish over this question.

The game depends upon your training, upon the way you are disciplined to seize and use your opportunities and upon your ability to put grit in the place of superior advantages. Just because circumstances do sometimes give clients to lawyers and patients to physicians, put commonplace clergymen in uncommon pulpits, and place the sons of the rich at the head of great corporations even when they have only average ability and scarcely any experience, while poor youths with greater ability and more experience often have to fight their way for years to obtain ordinary situations, are you justified In starting out without a chart or in leaving a place for luck in your programT What would you think of the captain of a great liner who would start out to SKETCH W Tlffi LffE Of LYOU E And n /"ffciii ,SJboiy *A4Jkwj. th* ^ m tl^twwpg.

ANCIENT BEDS TOO SUMPTUOUS. •£ :3 Were, T V . * Beautiful and Imposing They But Not Comfortable. In olden times beds were very sumptuous articles of furniture, and the gift of one in a will represented in many cases a large sum of xnonej, •the bedstead with its fittings frequentl y ~ having cost several hundred -pounds. In Elizabeth's Ume and earlior, bedsteads were imposing creations of oak, richly carved In all manner of quaint device, with, perhaps, a grinning satyr peering ffom behind a pillar, sufficiently grotesque to murder the slumbers of the most somnolent. Those were the days, too, of Sheavy silken hangings, valances and guilts, all richly embroidered in silk and gold ami silver thread with heavy jesty. Such * beds may be seen in a « m e of the valuable collections at ?he museums r.nd at English country, iscats, such as Warwick castle and other notable old places. To modern <?ye3 they compare very unfavorably, despite their intrinsic value, with the single., dainty beds of modern times, One of the greatest of living jockeys has a most remarkable collection of tributes from admirers, unknown and otherwise. It contains, among other strange things, pawn tickets, writs and summonses contributed by unsuccessful backers of his mounts, talismans of all kinds to bring him luck in his races, sermons and tracts for his spiritual welfare, recipes for all kinds of ailments from coughs to a tendency to corpulence, forms for insuring against accidents, offers of marriage^ accompanied by bundles of photographs of would-bo wives, -welsh* era* tickets and a pair of wornout boots with the legend: "All that is l«rft of them after walking from York to London; backed all your mounts." A few years ago, after his horse had lost an important race, a well-known turfman went up to the jockey and made him a formal and public presentation of a silver snuffbox, saying that if he would look inside he would see the kind of horse he ought to ride In future. The jockey opened .the box and found in it half a dozen::fat snails. .It was the same satirical own- J er who oxt another occasion presented ; his jockey with a sumptuous casket, j which on being opened disclosed*-a j wooden spoon, and .to a third joclrey I who had faiied to win an important race he handed a pair of crutchjes bought from a beggar on the course. When John Singleton, a clever joGtey of nearly two centuries ago, first won a race in Yorkshire the farmer whose horse he had ridden to victory was so delighted with his achievement that ho niado hhiua^present of a ewe, and investigating- mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympatheubnaturer "" ^ — I n 184¾ she married- Jaaao Pinkhany a builder, and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remediescalling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and ex- Serience many of them gained a wonerful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that ^ust as nature so bountifully provides in the harvestfields and orchards vegetable foods of Herhi gradually filling" a groat of bottlei Then came* t h e question of selling it, for always basore they- had given . it away freely.

Singleton was very "proud of and grateful for his singular fee. .-' In this respect he furnished a great, contrast to a well-known jockey who, when a check for $1,500 was handed to him by the owner of a horse on which he had won a race, crumpled it up contemptuously with the remark that "he had "often received more for riding a 2-yearx>ld." all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective rnedi • cines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combination of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia B.Pink- "RIVAL OF TAffAMA CAffAL The Panama canal will have compe- lines of the republic.

But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its lengthanctseverity were too much for tho large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world.

She passed to ago, but not till s! means for contlnui w effectively a s she could have done herself. During her long and eventful experience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful to preserve a record of every ease that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice— and there were thousands—received careful study, and t h e details, including symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women .the wOrld OTETf a n d represent a vast collaboration of Information ' regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the world; With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter - in - law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for yearsTshe assisted her in her vast correspondence. To her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when Its originator passed away, T o r nearly -twenty^ five years she h a s continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped "her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up.

Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a lirst-class pharmacy and the finest and beat of toilet articles and preparatl6hs and many useful iiceessoriey iiiid remedial jippliaiitxs. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they aro selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest romedies, and they always take pleasure,in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness aud constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habit.-?, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they arc glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have" been made, tried and condemned, but there aro individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles . of the profession a n d whose greed gets the better of their judgment, ami who do not hesitate -to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit, ^nch preparations sometimes have the name—" Syrup of Figs"—or kiFig Syrup'' and oi SOUK: piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup companyr printed on the package, but they r.cver have the full nnmo of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should bo rejected because .they are injurious to the system. In order to ceil the imitations tfrey find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dcak-r passes off on a customer a preparation^under the pame of 'Syrup -of Fig>v or i ; Fig S y r u p . ' which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed-on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortr!:i;-.te ii- to enter his establishment, whether it be larisc or small, for if the deaier resorts to mi^n-piv^'iitr.iicn and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal, agents, nr.ci in t i v fiiiim; of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who vatuce 1st "a":::; :: v. d K:.ppii\c35. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we.supply the immense- demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom i i may be pnr based everywhere, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but c > exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public, of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does noit bear the full name of the Company— California Fig S y m p Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return,of your money, end in future go to one of the better class of druggistswho willsell you what yott wish and the best of everything in his line t t reasonable prices. ,.;.VS£ :w:-y:# i*v-•;.'->',. flail • " • • i PUTNAM F A D E L E S S D Y E S Ceio* awaaoaaa briftMaran* fafteteatMt than aaj attar <ba. ^OnaJteMCl^j^on all flaer*^ than an Y other aye.

THOMPSON EXPLAINS WHY THERE WILL BE LITTLE CAUSE OF COMPLAINT. &^';, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S 8UIT TO COMPEL A NEW ASSESSMENT BEGUN. The forced He b Raise of Valuation*, impression Is gaining, rein* by the intimation from- the office of the state tax commission itself, that railway valuations recently announced may be considerably altered by the assessors while they sit as a board of review. It would be unusual for anyone to be heard in opposition to the assessments beside the railway attorneys, but there is nothing to prevent others being heard^ and the valuations raised. The board of review is in session now, and will continue until Feb. 15. Commissioner Thompson feels that there is not a general public understanding of the method of taxing railroads and that if the public will wait until after the board of review has met, and the legal issues are determined, there will be little cause for complaint. "Because we added $300,000,000 to the total of general assessed valuations in the state the past year as returned by the local assessing officers, just In order to get the equalized rate to.apply to the railway valuations according to- the -law, many people suppose that they will have to pay taxes on valuations-greater- by-that amount next year," said Mr. Thompson. ' The matter of general properly valuations and the rates the people generally 'wlirpay ls"in the hands-of the local authorities. All we do is to get the returns of the local valuations and taxes paid to arrive at the average «•' v*" . MICHIGAK ITEMS.

The hearing will probably take place Jan. 30. This will test the constitutionality of the Galbraith law at once. The attorney general sets forth that the true assessed valuation of the property nf the stalfi_JjLaL£741422J70t. and that a rate of $17.40 per SI,000 valuation was the average rate of taxation in the state. But to secure the rate of $14.01 at which the railroads and other corporations included in the same act ore assessed, the sum of $300,577,230 was added by the commissioners to the aggregate valuation of general propertv, V ringing it up to $1,- 871,000,,000. But no part, of the $300,- &"&* added to the valuations repre- u-%asrt~pog«WH 'Jul.iJu.l I'u taxation and- 4^tt« board p»»ll knew that the aver- ' S?:e rate fit taxation in the-'state for the past year was $17.40. The valuations fixed at $209,275,300 on all corporations taxed under the law should vield 53,G42,352.88, instead of $3,058,- 455.12, it is'said. The attorney general says that the rate of $14.01 applied to the railroad properties will produce $583,897.76 less than if the rate of $17^40 were applied, as to the rest of the property in the state, This is the amount of which the primary schools of the state will be deprived if the Galbraith law is sustained. The attorney general contends that the assessors violated section 11 x)f article XIV. of the state constitution, which provides for a uniform rule of taxation on all property not paving •specific taxes and say.'? that the legislature "shall provide a uniform rule of taxation for such property as shall be assessed by the state boarU of assessors, and the rate of taxation on such property shall be the rate which the state board of assessors shall ascertain and determine is the average rate levied upon other property, upon which ad valorem taxes are assessed for state, county, township, school and municipal purposes." Mr. Bird says this section distinctly provides that the rate shall be the same as that assessed against all other properties upon which ad valorem taxes are paid, and as $17.40 is the rate determined by the board as being paid upon the general properties upon tbeir assessed valuation it is not competent for the legislature to confer the . power upon the state board of assessors to fix a different rate. rate at which to assess the railroads."

The more he studied John's face the deeper grew the conviction that while his shrewd plan for saving Lyndhurst would probably work to a satisfactory point, he could £ot shake off the husband with whon he had provided his child, as easily as he had expected. Leaving orders with a subordinate Colonel John rode Into the city. The army of invasion having fought its way from Chattanooga to Atlanta, leaving every rough mountain pass sprinkled with the blood of heroes on either side, would have to rest and recuperate in the latter city before starting upon the march through Georgia to the sea, a daring scheme already far advanced in the mind of Shejrman. ^ The day was well on toward the close when Colonel John rode out in the direction of Lyndhurst again. When challenged by ' a guard he gave the countersign and continued on. The sun wat just sinking behind the rugged horizon when our soldier found himself on the confines of Lyndhurst.

Tbe truth is that when I saw her lying on the deck ' oblivious to all about her there w a s something In her face that drew mo strangely to her. I As soon as she was provided for I 1 ordered her boat to be hauled on deck, ' and I examined it. . It was an old boat, and it had been so battered that I could I not read the name. There was noth- ; ing about it to identify it. At 9 o'clock , that night" the woman came to herself, but the stewardess said that she was to;> weak to be questioned. The next morning the newcomer had revived sufficiently to 'talkpbuT laid mat shecould not remember a single event in her past life. I had known a similar case where a man had been shipwrecked and nearly' Itarve^r Dn^recdvermg consciousness he had, like this woman, forgotten the past. I directed the stewardess to starch the woman's clothing for some mark, and she found on an undergarment the letter Q. This was all there 'was in the way of possible identification. In time the woman came on deck and sat wrapped in blankets, revived by the fresh air. For the want of a better name we called her Miss Queery. She was about twenty-two years old, but whether she had been married or not of course we couldn't tell, Not all of us considered her pretty, but to me there Mas something infinitely more engaging In her expression than mere beauty, an expression reflecting some great past grief. I took her into my heart, and she has kept her place there to this day. '—We had picked up Miss Queery not mg oi nkTOA.Tt t^wiAinn, a seaurraft r B i W T S T f l K f f i ^ ^ aatknpa* boavdUg house.

Indeed, the fact that we must be separated by an uncertainty was as great a grievance to her as to me. Before sailing on another voyage I discussed with her what course we should pursues I proposed that we take action to discover her identity. Then if she had not been married our course would be plain. If it came out that she had a husband living, she could choose between us. "Your past life is blotted out," I said, "and there is no law to prevent your marrying whom you like." replied, "'Suppose after marrying you it should come to my knowledge that I had a husband, would you consider it my duty to leave youV" "Certainly not," I replied. "If you kneWtoday you had a husband living, a husband identified witbj that past obliterated life, aiid married me, I would" not blame you." This ended the argument, for she gave her consent, though the marri^e was to be of the Scotch order, simply mutual pledges in presence of witnesses. (, Three voyages my wife' made with me, during which we were both supremely happy. At times I noticed a dread cross her brow W d knew what she feared.

IN «vv Senator Oepew, If Senalor Piatt's' announcement ' a true, Senator Depew will occupy h a seat in.the senate this week. He said be had received a telegram from Mr. Uepew saying Th^latt^wtirresiime his official duties Monday. The telegram from Mr. Depew was in response to one sent by Piatt, who frankly suggested to his colleague that he must make every possible effort to be in the senate Monday, He said Mr. Depew's continued absence only furnished tangible reasons for adverse criticism and afforded opportunity for his enemies In the New York state legislature and elsewhere to attack him for neglect of .duty. V Mr. Piatt's chief idea in getting Mr. Depew here was to have the sting of the Bracket* resolution offset tiy~ the cordial and friendly reception given to Mr. Depew by his associates in the senate. -Mr. Piatt declared-posiUvely-that Field, the Chicago mer- :haut prince who died f* N e * Yorfcon "Wednesday of pneumonia. >mads> a' brave flght against death, He f a i l self-made man who began Ufe as a poor bor, dyiaf at the age of 70 year* and leaving a fortune estimated at; tj7S,0Op,Q0O. Mr. Field was the largest taxpayer In the United States:' Like many another, American who rose to prominence in theworUfc Marihall Field was born on a New Vnflaad farm. His birthplace was the town of Conway, Maes., and if he had lived until next August he would have reached the age of 71. He got the meager common school education of his generation and had the further advantage of academical instruction until he was-17. It is interesting to record the fact ^that Marshall Field was considered unsuited for a mercantile career by so good an authority as the dry goods Mr. Depew's health is not Impaired. He said his colleague had been vexces- Bively worried by unkind criticism and the result has been a feverish condition of body and mind which L unfitted- Tilm for his routine duties in the sen -ate. \HAhtrVlMhD. «wr storekeeper toPittsfield, who prc«"-nSedRaHonT Ho at lilt nounced him a fiat failure and declined to keep him in his employ. Young Field found his opportunity In the growing town of Chicago, which he reached when~he was Just of age: He went into the store of Cooley, Wadsworth & Co. and inside,of four years he was made a partner in the business. By the time the civil war broke out he was senior partner in the firm of Field, Palmer & Leiter, having associated with him, at the age of 30, two men like the late Potter Palmer and the late Levi Z. Leiter. Both of his partners had retired by 1881 and Mr. Field formed a new corporation under the name of Marshall Field & Co.

If the reports of politicians who tome into Washington from various states have any foundation, the senate is rushing toward an epoch-making overturn in its history. Nearly every senator who has been ten years in congress seems to have been picked •out by an insurgent element of his own .state for defeat. If one-third of these predictions materialise, the -states will present to the admiring gaze of the galleries a great many new faces on the next Inauguration day. The senate is so constituted, with its long terms and elections often much in advance of the beginning of -service, that the November explosions had no real effect on the senate; to revolutionize that body requires skillful prying from beneath, and for a long time, but this process, it is as serted, has begun. For example, the partisans of Senator La Foilette say that Spooner, of ^rhom Wisconsin Is deservedly proud, «eme back again. Some persons Ithede Island are rash enough to t they can see the end of ^ the acknowledged leader of senate Republicans. Penrose, the head of the Pennsylvania, machine, must get out, these same prophets say, or the whole reform movement In*that state is made a laughing stock. For Gorman, it is said in Maryland, t hat tfce political clocX will be aoon striking 12. Of course, Piatt and De- •pew, in New York, are serving their last terms.

The suit for divorce brought by Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha against his wife, Princee Louise, eldest daughter of King Leopold of Belgium, which has been before the court for many months, was concluded when the divorce court rendered a decision providing for an absolute divorce.

Why Dan Came Back 1 $ »MMMMIMiMIMIMM * • • • ' . » .¾. * • ' • • " ( * ) [Copyright, 1905, by E. S. MeClure.] Dan Skinner, son of t\ farmer, had been a lazy young man at home, and had doubtless enlisted as a soldier thinking .he was going to have an easy timo of it. He found but little time tBat a volunteer soldier could call his own, There were drill, guard duty, police duty, washing, mending, digging and delving, to say nothing of fighting and marching. The day came when he refused fatigue duty and was sent to the guardhouse. From that day for three months ou he was under punishment most of the time. He came to be an object of anxiety to the officers and an object of contempt to his comrades, and then he was ready to bring on a climax. Oue day he lay on the broad of his back in the sun and thought it all out. He charged the people of the United States with bringing on the war for no other purpose than to get him down to the front and have him killed. He denied the right of the government to put him to manual labor and .abridge bis hours of sleep. He was an ill fed, overworked and much abused young man. He had been singled out for the officers' spite, and the letters he had written to President Lincoln about it had remained unanswered. When Dan had spent an hour in thinking, he made up his mind that there was only one recourse left hintdesertion. He would make his way. back to the old farm in the north and to pa and ma and tell them all about it and be looked upon as a martyr. It never occurred to him that he woutd be punned and was sure to be caught Two nights farter Dto«ttfcsMr4odfert the csnut sentinels and became a de- ''v.yj" •J * ' > * • - . - mmmmmmm % » i f m n HI i ; id L weather agaio. v v tb«r not ib> goei »o!»r R.

Fred Postal, president of the Michigan State Fair, advocates'the opening of the fair on Sunday. Fred is a jolly, genial fellow an3 we believe will do all in bio power to make tbe fair a success, but we honestly think the opening of the fair on Sunday would tend to keep many away entirely and some of the exhibitors as well. The fair was a success last year and we hope nothing will be done t degrade it. Ing orders, no matter what those orders are. Both have been in battle, and both have been wounded. They march; they fight; they do camp duty. There are many days when they don't have sufficient to eat They have had no pay for four months. Their uniforms are ragged aud tattered. All this, and yet they haven't deserted or thought of It. Do you know what would happen if my husband should come home a deserter? I have an old musket here. I would drive him back to the army or shoot him in his tracks!" "Shoo!" exclaimed Dan as he looked up at her and grew very serious. "Yes, sir, I would do it, but thank God he is no such man. Look at your ^case. You have a father, motherother relatives. You are young arid •trong. You have been called upon to fio nothing that others are not doing. You are lazy; you are a fault finder; you want to make out that you are : martyr. And here you are, a deserter from your army, and disgrace and perhaps death await you as soon as caught. You want to desert to our side. We want no juch men. You would be treated like a dog. and you would deserve it.. Put on your cap, Bir. Now walk out of the house. Now turn your face down the road and walk. Keep walking until you come to your lines, and then return to your duties as a soldier. You may have to work~-you may have to die.** And he did. M. QUAD. Why Some Men Are Saperatltloma. There are men who have a congenital tendency to distrust fate. With the better half of their minds they may be optimists, but there is a corner which is never free from the pain of fear, tbe fear of a sort of transcendental spite. Plutarch said of the superstitious that they believed in the gods and believed them to be unfriendly. Some survival of this pagan notion remains to this day even among those whose reasonable convlcticu and reverent faith alike, lead thorn t > totally opposite conclusions. They do not believe they will have more r misfortunes if they take a house which is numbered 13 than If they took one numbered JJ1, but they avoid the former in order to quiet their own painful imaginations. — London Spectator.'

Appeal for Justice. The Independent Oil Refiners of Kansas have mailed to James R. Garfield, commissioner of corporations, an appeal for justice against the alleged conspiracy between the Standard Oil Co. and the railroads to shut Kansas oil out of the market. Bight refiners who will sign the appeal have invested more than $1,000,000 in refineries, tank cars, storage tanks, wagons and barrels. They claim that by reason of a conspiracy between the Standard Oil Co. and the railroad systems of the southwest, particularly the railroads operating in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Arkansas, and the territories of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, they are limited to the state of Kansas for a market for their refined oil; that to all points outside of Kansas the freight rates cm all the products of crude petroleum are unreasonably high and have been maintained at such rate for no other purpose than to confine business of the independent refineries, tc the state of Kansas.

When he was sere» years old a cyelone passed over, the town' where they llvsd, leaving the swath of a gigantic scythe behind, i t The brothers had been left alone la the house, Henry in charge of i t and of bis little brother Howard/ At the time of the passage of the whirlwind. Howard was asleep. Feeling the house crashing down upon them, Henry planted himself above his younger brother to protect him. When several hours later "they were taken out from under the fallen timbers, Howard was found to be unhurt, but Henry had received severe Injuries. And now at twenty-six and twentytwo respectively Henry was small and thin and pale, Howard a well developed, stalwart man. Henry felt the same affection for hds brother as when he had saved hliu from death. Howard lived under a constant reminder of the sacrifice Henry had made for him, and it was his aim to heap benefits upon' the brother who had taken the burden -: that had- permitted his own development. Howard was never so well pleased as at discovering some want of Henry's that he could supply. The pate- were observed by their fvieuds, who said that if oue brother married the other would receive a blow from which he would never recover. Fortunately they both fell hi love at the same tnue^and with became engaged to Delia Martin, and Howard soon after became engaged to her sister Belle. It was said that Howard proposed to the sister of his brother's fiancee to save himself from being left with no one to love. However this may be, both brothers seemed satisfied. Henry Cor with, deprived of the physique with which to live a strenuous life, found compeusation in art. After learning all of his profession that could be drawn from American preceptors he resolved to go abroad to study. Belle Martin possessed musical tastes and concluded to take a course of music in Germany. It was agreed that the two should cross the ocean in the same vessel, and upon arrival Henry was to go to Paris, Belle to Berlin. They sailed in the autumn and were to return the following summer. ... * < f »i IIJIIIII V "I mean that J am a dog.

ThQ sVUTO-CRAWD PIAMO OO. Newcastle, Ind. Howard Corwlth endured tlie separation from his brother and his tiaucee as best he could. Howard and Delia had a common interest and naturally turn- •ed to each other for comfort. Each found in the other a listener into whose ear to pour a story of enforced, separation. Howard talked of Belle, and Delia talked of Henry. The interchange of sympathy was perfect. Ten months passed. Ueiiry and Belle wrote that they would meet in Southampton and return on the same steamer. Howard's friends, when apprised of his brother's and his fiancee's return congratulated him warmly, but Howard, instead of looking happy over the approaching reunion, wore a troubled look. As the time for the absent ones' return drew near this evidence of some secret dread increased, and on the day of the arrival Howard seemed threatened with nervous prostration.

At^ their meeting Henry noticed that Howard loolted right past him, avoiding meeting his eye. Henry sighed and bent his head. The pressure of hands was cold and the meeting entirely devoid of warmth. As they drove home together Henry said: "Fletcher came to see you, I suppose, and brought you the commissions I gave him for you?" "Yes." Henry sighed and gazed far away. "Fletcher told me all about you," said Howard. "So I supposed," said Henry. >"It was a pleasant season for you and Belle to be together in Switzerland." "Fletcher spoke of it?' "Yes." By this time they reached the house and, alighting, went into the library, where they had so often smoked and talked and exchanged confidences. Then Henry said: "Howard, this thing is killing you." "How did you know it?" Howard asked, quickly looking up at his brother. « - "I knew Fletcher would give you the facts," replied Henry without noticing the question.

Year 1f0a UIM. The total distributive sales for 1905 exceeded ' . • $200,000,000. This total is realized from the sale 4 of fresh meats (beef, mutton and pork), provisions, produce (poultry. butter and eggs), soaps, glues, oils, hones, fertilisers, feathers, casings, hides, wools, pelts and other by-products derived from cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry. Margin of Profit The industry is operated on a margin of less than 2 cents to each dollar of sales. Swift & Co', do not sell at retail. Their entire output is sold at wholesale to many thousands of dealers in various parts of the world. There are hundreds of local slaughterers throughout the United States? who buy their live stock In competition with the packer doing an interstate and international business. Likewise the packer must sell in Competition with the local slaughterers. There are no secret processes in the industry, no complicated and expensive factories, and as Jive stock can bo purchased in -almost every hamlet and city, and the preparation of meats is simple In the extreme, local slaughtering will long remain a factor in the production of fresh meats and provisions. * Economic Advantages. The large packing houses will, however, always have these advantages: Locations at the chief-live stock centers, with the .opportunity to buy the best lite stock; manufacturing in large quantities, at the minimum of expense;.utilisation of all waste material; refrigeration; mechanical'appli ances; highly efficient business .manasexent. These advantages axe reflected In the quality of the packer's output, a quality that has reached its highest development In the products bearing the name and brand of "Swift."" , • ' . . . „ Mtrehepint. tiv*: : (&cV " _ ^ " I'^^SdaWfira Chicago, BUnaas City, Omaha, 8*. Louis, St. Joseph, St. Paul and Fort Worth. The same methods of pur* chasing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail at all cities. At Chicago, which Is the largest market, there are about two hundred and fifty buyers, representing packers, local slaughterers in various cities and exporters. Of this •number, less than a score are employed by Swift £ Company. The farmer shljs his live stock to Chicago, consigns them to a commission firm at the Union Stock Yards, who sees thatNthey are unloaded and put in pens. Then the buyers.inspect them, make their offers to the commission dealer, who accepts or rejects as his judgment dictates. All buying must be finished st 3 o'clock each day, and the buyer must pay spot cash. If the commission man has no satisfactory offers, he can hold his stock over to the next day*- He gets his commission from the farmer, and naturally strives to get the highest possible price -for his client. Wholesale Distributing Houses. A wholesale distributing house is a giant refrigerator, but Instead of shelves there are trolley rails, from which are suspended hooks to hang the carcasses. Some of the houses co3t as much as a hundred thousand dollars to build and equip. As a rule they are of pressed brick, the lnsldes being lined—floor, wills and ceiling— with highly polished hardwood. The floors are covered daily with fresh sawdust, and all are kept spotlessly clean. There are over three hundred of these wholesale houses In various cities of the United States, and the public is always welcome to visit them. Packing Plants. AH the Swift a- Company plants are located at the great live stock markets, in the heart of the great agricultural sections, where can be purchased the finest grades of cattle, sheep and hogs. We have seven paeh> lng plants, employing at each from two to sight thousand persons. ' The following gives the locations •ad stses of the different planta: Chicago Kansas City Omaha St. Louis . . .

Conditions for employes in the various manufacturing and operating; departments is continually improving with the construction of new buildings and the installation of new and up-to-date equipment. Sanitation and Hygiene. The housewife makes no greater effort to keep her kitchen clean than we do to keep in sanitary and hygienic condition our abattoirs. They are thoroughly scrubbed at the close of each day's operations, and automatic appliances are need wherever possible in order to eliminate the personal handling of meats. Rigid rules governing these 'points are strictly enforced; laxity means dismissal. Visitors Always Wslceme. No other Industry In the world gives such a cordial welcome to visitors as Swift & Co. Wte keep open house the year around, and maintain a corps of specially tralped guides, with special elevators and rest rooms. In one year we have entertained over a quarter of a million oh men and women; y4n one day—Grand Army Day. IM1—we entertained 23,000.

Braun, a farmer near Milton vale, Kan., had about 100 .prairie dogs on his farm and started in to wipe them out. He used traps. After he had caught about thirty the rest got wise and would walk, around his traps. Among: the thirty *ae one that the trap didn't injure aatd he pat It in a cage for a pet. By mistake his children ted the prairie dog in the cage a small piece of common soap one day. Within five minutes the prairie dog was dead. Mr. Braun decided to* experiment. He cut a bar of soap into small pieces about the size of a hazel nut and threw a few pieces into each hole in "dog > town." The next day there wasn't a solitary prairie dog left to tell the story. All were dead. Ten cents worth of soap will clear a big farm of prairie dogs.— Kansas City Journal.

Canerdy, a pi omie ueut resident of Port Huron, Saturday evening. He was walking across Military street at the corner of Pine when a car backing toward the city waiting room struck him, and before he could regain his feet both the rear and one wheel of the head trucks of the car had passed over him. .Thirty mtautes later his dead body was IOmoved so mangled that his most intimate friends could not identify him The' dying man could be heard for blocks crying for help, but all were powerless to assist him. It was necessary to send for jacks to raise the car before the body could be removed. Mr. Canerdy was 45 years of age. He had "resided in Port Huron the past 17 years. Since the opening of the Michigan? Sulphite Fiber Co. he had been connected with that concern. A widow survives. __ MICHIGAN ITEMS. — Made Him Crazy.

Carriages roll by, containing other sightseers. Many of the nobility of Europe are to be seen here, for Paris has especial attractions for them. Our friends know very few in all this great mass of people—it la rather a strange feeling (hat comes over one when gazing upon tens oj thousands, to think that all are utter strangers.

Henri—the next case," and with a sigh the weary prefect takes up his onerous duties. CHAPTER V I . Colonel Bob Wakes Up. Another day dawns, the morning passes, and again it is afternoon. On the boulevards the same restless crowds gather, moving to and fro, Jostling elbows, laughing, chatting, good natured always, polite, and evidently filled with the spirit that permeates aH Parisian crowds. It is a spectacle which, once seen, will often come up in memory— the Champs Elysees, the Place de la Concord with, its obelisk of Luxor, the magnificent Arch de Triomphe at the head of the Bois de Bologne, the great hotels, the palace of the Trocadero and the gardens of the Tuilerles— all these make a picture upon which the crowds are but the clockwork movement—the action. At various fancy little kiosks on the boulevards small articles are sold, besides papers and magazines. The presence of these booths amid the gay crowds, the flower stands, the wonderful cafes, where in fine weather people sit upon or over the side* walk sipping light wines, or indulging, it may he, in an ie*—ell these A7y J24&r jsaas* because you have fallen in love with another girl, she will have a firm ally in her dad," remarks Bob, whose business in life has made him- a keen observer and a good reader of faces- They saunter on, the sheriff keeping a bright lookout, scanning faces as they pass. He has not lost all hope of discovering his man, although all he has to go by Is an extraordinarily poor photograph taken years before when the missing Danvers was a smooth-faced boy. Suddenly Bob, who has his friend's arm for the moment, as he speaks of something he has become Interested in, feels the ex-horse-tamer of tlie plains give a perceptible start. Looking up quickly he finds that Dick is gazing across the, pavement. They chance to be In front of a cafe chantant, and, as in numerous other instances., several tables are placed in and outside the door-way, where seated in the shade, men arid women can sit and sip their wine or coffee while they watch the passers-by. At this particular point a man can be seen—a man who would certainly attract attention in his native city of Mexico, and certainly does here on the boulevards" of Paris—a man whose figure Is of a magnificent build, and gives promise of remarkable strength. This person disdains to doff his native garb for; the sober black of the Parisian lounger—he has the appearance of a Spaniard, with his broadbrimmed hat, his gold-lice embroidery ed Jaoket, trousers wide at the bottom and slit open, to be laced and show the fancy boot-tops underneath. The man who sits In front of the cafe returns Dick's stare—there is a sneer written all over his dark face, which has at one time been handsome: The two friends pass on. Sheriff Boh has taken notice uf certain facts "You put it in too strong a she has perhaps fsJBeft#lfi|lft> give jm -iUp-'wW^i -have never saiu^iasjeti- wtjmmr "Dust take H, she** Wpmtf as can be." ' "Granted, but ray taste never ran that way. I admire a dark man, but a woman, to strike my eye, must be as fair as a lily." < "Ah! yes, with golden hair, like Miss Pauline Westerly, for instance," declares the colonel, sagely, nor does his companion blush while admitting the truth of thiB remark. "My fancy has always been for fail women, and Miss Pauline fills the bill. I'm determined to try my fatt for once, and yet I suppose it will bf of little use. Such a queenly girl could have her pick among the best.' — Thus they saunter on and converse Many eyes rest upon them, and more than one spoiled darling of society locating from her carriage window at she rolls by, sighs to gaze upon twe such splendid specimens of manhood and feels a new contempt for the slm per Ing, padded beaus who follow ir her train, and who are, at the best mere apologies for men. The evening draws on apaesi *ae lights begin to appear along the jessfe vard—stiU *.he crowds jostle, the voices of flower-venders ring out laughter and good-will appear to rule the hour. "Let us dine,'* says the'colonel. '1 feel a horrid, vacuuiu within, which is against my principles." His comrade being quite willing they step in at the Cafe Anglais, and partake of a meal. ;..*.,>.-•,. While they have eaten, darkness has fallen upon the great city—an other night begun. During the after noon the gentlemen called at the Grand Continental Hotel, but it hap pened that Miss Pauline and Dor? were out riding at the time. The> hardly dare show such Impatience as to make another call -on the samf evening. By chance it happens that Dick has forgotten his watch—having left it-it) his other vest. It worries him, as th< time-piece is very valuable, and find ing themselves near their lodging house, he proposes running up ant getting it. (To be continued.) •. *M !>•"*•"*. Wo-ds Used But Rarely.

A Confederate battery, possessing guns of" MOW than th« ordluu ry icatt-" ber for those days, had taken up its position upon a certain rise of ground, a rough hillside as it were, and from this coign of vantage seemed able to drop their shells into the Union camp with destructive results.

CHAPTER XIII. A Battle Smoke. Mollie asked no questions desired no proofs but changed the subject, and for a short time carried on her side of a lively conversation on the prospect of Sherman being caught in such a trap as Napoleon entered at Moscow. At length the visitor took her leave, satisfied that she had accomplished her work. When alone Mollie gave way to her feelings. it was not that she cared for John Ridgeway, she declared to herself again and again, but her pride was^ humbled. She would keep-the secret for the present, because it shielded Lyndhurst, but toward the man who had married her to save his life she meant to present ^-freezing manner, to cut him with her scorn. After all it was diamond cut diamond. She had wedded for a mercenary motke, at the command of her father. a*l why should not he be granted the ftlvllsjitnC a little deception when his rijEnm rf stake? ^^SjplMtre 0f tgg n t voc being made l l f W h i s good name at Lyndhurst, COL John galloped to the chy and reported at headquarters. Sowe urgent work was plaoed In his hands, for the Confederates around the city were already opening their campaign of annoyance and encounters with their flying squadrons could be counted on a* of hourly ocamong the tents of an Indiana regiment Then and there he decided that the enemy must be displaced from that position before the day grew old, no matter what the cost. Immediately upon leaving Sherman the colonel sought the quarter where the main body of his regiment had encamped. He addressed his men and every soldier knew what was the nature of the desperate mission that now engaged their attention. Not a man flinched. They had followed their beloved leader into the jaws of death during many a previous battle, and the prospect of immediate glory was enough to set their blood to rioting madly. Their advance was hidden for a time by a projecting spur, along which the blue lfne crept :ike a great snake, winding toward the rough elevation from whence «came the thunder of heavy artillery that sent their destructive missiles whirling through space, to explode with deadly effect in the Federal camp. When the spur ceased to conceal their movements further, a halt was made until eyery straggler had gained his position. Colonel John again addressed them in his own peculiar way, and not one among them but who burned with patriotic seal at hearing his words. Then a shout burst forth, a mighty sound aa of tho hurricane tearing through the mountain passes—a flood of blue coats sprang into view, like the ocean bursting its barriers. They spread out right and left, scattering s o that the enemy might do less terrible execution with their great guns, should these be depressed In time to bear upon the advancing lar desperate-assault in past battles where the Northern an»I Southern heroes measured their strength. That brave Southern spivit was shown on every battlefield of the civil war—the world never produced better fighters than flew to the defense of Dixie land. Over the crest rolled the line in blue, and there they met the defenders of the battery. The earth fairly tremble:! with the thunder as the big guns were discharged, and more than one daring spirit, climbing over the rough ramparts was blown to atoms by the discharge. As more of the Federals clambered into view, and joined in the meleer it assumed all the properties of a fierce battle. Slowly the Confederates fell back before such a fierco nnspf—-hnmpn na. ture could not hold out against it. They knew they were beaten, but seeing a regiment hurrying to their assistance kept up the fight with a dogged persistence. Colonel Ridgeway deliberately turned the battery so that it faced the. other way, and when the regiment in gray came within the line such a storm of shot and shell burst upon them that in a trice, as it were, their shuddering ranks had been pierced again and again, and demoralized b*- ^what they believed to be a destructive fire from their friends they fell back in confusion. Seeing this the Confederates on the hill gave up all hope of success; they threw themselves over the ramparts o* the fort and scattered down the hillside like a covey of alarmed partridges. Already a column was on the way to reinforce Ridgeway and his men. He was the hero of the hour. Colonel John had not come out unscathed by any means—several bullets had euThis garments in their passage, fpr he had been a conspicuous object to the sharpshooters in gray who crouched aloft waiting to cut down all who wore the blue, and it was almost a miracle how he ever came out of the engagement alive. One bullet had done a little serlou* damage, but this adventure-loving soldier laughed and thanked his lucky stars It was no worse. (To be continued.)

The world's supply of platinum during the year 1904 was about 13,800 pounds, 13,200 pounds of which came from Russia. The United States produced 200 ounces, valued at 34,160. All of this came Jfrom California and Oregon, the Wyoming mine having suspended operations. The price of platinum increased 10 per cent during the year. The present price of-platinum—$ 20.50- an ounce—is the highest which this metal has reached in recent years. is bound to be the laud uf promise to the agriculturist of every nation and ot every clime, and the land of opportunity to every settler within its bounds.

The personally conducted village' city or state is a very precarious state of morals and finances when its conductor is a political machine backed by corporations. A:. I If Stuyveaant Fish who gave one ball in New York which cost 18,000 says the danger of this country lies in the lack of economy. Nobody is better qualified to speak on this subject than Mr. Fish and his wife.

In moral accountability what difference is there between a saloon and its enticing sign of the beer-mug and a daily newspaper with its attractive advertisement of the most alluring brands of whisky? Evidently some of the newspapers of the country are beginning to think on these things. W.C- T.U. Edited by the Pinckuey W, C. T. U Dr. S. H. Burgeo, a practitioner thirty-five years, twenty-eight in Toledo, says: "I think beer kills quicker than any other liquor. My attention was firsc called to its insidious effects when I began examining for life insurance. I passed, as unusually good risks five Germans—> oung business men—who seemed in the best of health, and to have superb constitutions. In a few years I was amazed to see the whole five drop off one after another with what ought to have been mild and easily curable diseases. On comparing my experience with that of other physicians, I found they were all having similiar luek with confirmed beer drinkers, and my practice since has heaped confirmation on confirmation. Auy physician who cares to take the time will tell you that among the dreadful results of beer drinking are lockjaw and erysipelas, and that the beer drinker seems incapable of recovering from mild disorders and imjuries not usually regarded of a grave character." The Detroit Board of Commerce thKmgh4fer4tgi«fetiTr committee; makes this pronouncement against the location of saloons near manufactories: "Entirely apart from the question of temperance, every manufacturer and every selfrespecting workman views saloons in the immediate vicinity of his place of business with alarm. These factory saloons lessen the efficiency of workmen and result in immediate depreciation in adjacent property values.

Protests are pouring in from all parts of the United States against the passage of the bill. The intention of the framers of the pure food bills so called is not, we understand it, to fqrbid or prevent the 'manufacture cf chemical whisky, but to provide for its labeling and thus secure for the consumer the information that he is beiug poisoned as well as intoxicated.

Each Around the fireside or about the well-lighted family reading table during the winter evenings the children and grownups can play with their wits and see how many words can be made. 20 people making the greatest number of words will each receive a little box containing a $tt).0O gold piece. 10 people will each win one box containing a $5.00 gold piece. 300 people will each win a box containing Jl.OOMn paper money and one person who makes the highest number of words over all contestants wilj receive a box containing $100.00 in gold. It is really a most fascinating bit of fun to take up the list evening after evening and see how many words'can be added. A few rules are necessary for absolute fair play. Any word authorized by Webster's dictionary will be counted,1 but no name of person. Both the singular and plural can be used, as for instance "grape" and "grapes." The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts" may be repeated in the same word. Geographical names authorized by Webster will be counted. Arrange the words in alphabetical classes, all those beginning with A together and those beginning with E to cohie under E, etc. When you are writing down the words leave some spaces, in the A, E, and other columns, to fill in later as new words come to you, for they will spring into mind every evening. It is almost certain that some contestants will tie with others. In such cases a prize identical in value and character with that offered in that one will be requested to send with the j n!^s that the noon hour will And a ! man on our breakfast huskier and j with a stronger heart-beat and clearer I working brain than he ever had on ! the old diet. Suppose, if you have never "really made a move for absolutely clean ] health that pushes you along each daj i with a spring in your step and & reserve vigor in muscle and brain that makes the doing of things a pleasure, you join the army of "plain old common sense" and start in no*. Then ; after you have been 2 or 3 weeka on ! the Grape-Nuts training you write a ; statement of haw you used to be and ' how you are now. The simple facts : will interest others and surprise yourself. We never publish names except • on permission, but we often tell the facts In the newspapers, and when requested give the names by private letter. , ^There is plenty of time to get personal experience with Grape-Nuts and write a sensible, tfs/hful letter to be sent in with the list of words, as the contest does not close until April 30th, 1906. So start in as soon as you like I to building words, and start in using ! Grape-Nuts. CuC this statement out* and keep the letters Y-I-O-Grape-Nu-s before you and when you write your ; letter you will have some reason to write on the subject, "Why I Ow* Grape-Nuts." Remember, 331 persons will win | prizes, which will be awarded in an exact and just manner as soon as the list can be counted after April 30th, 1906. Every contestant will be sent a \ printed list of names and addresses of | winners on application, in order to ' have proof that the prizes are sent as ; agreed. The company is wejl known | all over the world for absolute fidelity to Its agret**ients and every single one list of words a plainly written letter j o f the 331 winners may, depend ott redescribing the advantages of Grape- : celving the prize won.

We make the prediction that some who win a prize of gold or greenbacks will also win back health and strength worth more to them than a wagon full of money prizes.

Sun, moon and stars, sunset and sunrise, clouds tossed and toru by wind, tlouting or drlv'ug mists and fogs, snow, rain and the clear blue are all phenomena of the sky which will afford endless delights to him who watches them. The dweller on the prairie or the s«n has the best chance at the sky, and the dweller in narrow streets, hemmed in by tall buildings. has the worst.

Congenial work with mind and hands should be encouraged in all persons for its prophylactic ns well as its curative influences. Kest will prove seryicetible doubtless in numbers of cases, but its application should be restricted t'lid carefully studied. There are many conditions where absolute j rest will not oulV prove useless, but really harmful. To send a man from an active business life to oue of complete inactivity will often prove disastrous, as much so as to prescribe all food for the obe>o. The nervous will complain that ther do not feel like work. If left to themselves and told to do absolutely nothing, not even to read, they are sure to dwell upon their Infirmities, and grow thereby morose and hypochondriacal, thus increasing their invalidism. Tbe desire for work should be encouraged in all conditions and in all.classes. If one's interest is aroused even to a slight degree ft continuance in the work will develop a desire for occupation. One will never feel like work If one has nothing to do. Work will often accomplish what medicine, however properly applied, will not, for It is not alone that/we must earn our bread by the sweat of the brow, but every man [ and woman should work for the pleasure of It as well as for the health giv Ing, brain expanding results and the benefit of example.—Medical World.

Drunk and jealousy mad, wildly lufurlated against the^wlfe from whom he twice bad separated, John Witt, 28 years of age, a lumber scaler, went to the home of his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. August Wieting, of Detroit, Saturday night, and, after shooting both and his own daughter, he turned the revolver on himself and blew out his brains. Mrs. Witt, against whom the crazed husband probably would have directed his fury, escaped death through being absent from the house. The tragedy came as the climax of a i tempestuous marital career, which led to the divorce court, but the love power proved too strong, and, for a second time Witt led the woman to the altar. Their married life was marked with frequent quarrels, and so violent was the man's conduct toward his wife, That slie" wasforced at—iast~to turn from him again and go to her parents' home—the scene of the tragedy enact- , a „ ed Saturday night.

Wieting greeted his son-in-law, speaking to him kindly and welcoming him to the house, but without reply Witt shot the old man in the stomach, when a struggle ensued and Wieting gained the stalri leading to the sleeping rooms on the second floor. Witt followed to the room occupied by the old couple and the little child. After another struggle Witt shot Mrs. Wieting, who had risen from bed, then the little child, nestled among the pillows, her light brown curls framing a beautiful face. He turned aside leading her dying, her garments stained with the bloori that flowed from the wound in her stomach. The sight made strong men turn away. Mrs. W'etlng was shot in the shoulder, but not fatally. His murderous assault completed The steel trust earned $120,000,000 last year. So did we, according to our way of looking at it; but v,- didn't follpct quite that much. Chicago housewives want a four* teen-hour day, this being a reduction of about ten h mrs from the time many of them aiv on duty. How we love to talk of the wonderful things.^ we have not.done. The reason for this is that nothing is wonderful after it has been done. "Self-Supporting Home" is the title of a new book. If it can "make good," it is the book for which mankind has been waiting these 6,000 years. An automobile that can travel a mile in twenty-eight seconds would seem to need only a pair of wings and a rudder to be a flying machine.

Warner has other engagements, and will not be able to accept the invitation to address the State Association of Supervisors. Before leaving Lansing Tuesday afternoon, he made a statement which is of interest to all supervisors and citizens who are watching the struggle for equal taxation. Referring to the outcome of the protest against the railroad valuations for 1905 he said: "I have no definite assurances rrom the state board of assessors as to what their figures will be when the review closes, Feb. 15, but I have not been idle, and 1 believe we will be able to show the assessors that the same ratio as last year between general property and railroad property should obtain. That will mean the same amount of revenue to the state. If the valuation of all general property in to stand at ¢1,876,000,000, the railroad valuations ought to aggregate over $20,000,000 more than they do now. I believe the state board of assessors will see It that way." The railroad valuation as found by the board df assessors, Jan. 15; totaled 1107,000,000. ^ a pail of water from a spring in which a barrel had been sunk.

T H E BOYCOTT L E A D * TO UGLY RIOTS AND O T H E R CRIME3 W H I C H LOOK BAD FOR 8 A F E T Y . AMERICAN LIFE A N D PROPERTY MAY AGAIN BE PUT IN JEOPARDY BY "BOXERS." Mr. Peet's Views. , Lyman P. Peet, who for 18 years has been at the head of the American college at Foochow, China, talked with the president Saturday on the Chinese situation. Mr. Peet, who has made a close study of conditions in China, told the president that the boycott against American products, In his opinion, was gettiug worse. It has been the cause of several ugly riots and crimes. Mr. Peet said the Chinese officials show a desire to abate the boycott and to Insure peace, but in many instances they secretly encourage the boycott. It can be stated that the conditions in China at present bear a striking resemblance to those that preceded the boxer uprising of 1900, and the position of the state department Is that as only the presence of American troops made the Pekin relief expedition possible and saved the lives of the legationers, it would not be justified- in refraining from taking every precaution necessary to avert the possible loss of American lives and property, not only at the 1 ega t ion j n Pe kl n but among the missionaries and InT^Anierlcaa business men in the Chinese trade centers.. It is probable that Secretary Root will have an opportunity to explain to congress through one of the house committees the actual need of the proposed increase of the number of American troops in the Philippines which led to the passage between Secretary Taft and the senate committee on appropriations recently. For it is said to be the case that the war department in moving in this drrectlon Is simply following the suggestion of the state department and it. is probable Secretary Root will find it necessary, unless the plan of holding a forced ready for service in China is to be abandoned,-to explain to congress the facts which have impelled him to make the suggestion to Secretary Taft. This explanation will doubtless be made in confidence, for although It Is known In a general way that the state department has had many disquieting reports from his agents in China, it would scarcely be diplomatic to publish them. Rate Bill Passed. to 7. Those voting against the bill were Llttlefield (Me.), McCall ami Weeks (Mass.), Perks, Sonthwick and Vreeland (N. Y.), E. Sibley (Pa.), all Republicans. Anticipating the roll call on the rate bill there was a large attenda^fe of members and the galleries were crowded. The passage of the bill was received with a ripple of applause. Mr. Sullivan (Mass.) voted "present" and was not paired. There were 28 members paired, but these pairs were generally political ones. None of them was made on the bill and consequently did not indicate a position. The bill was at once sent to the senate, but the members generally were not made aware of its arrival and it was referred to the interstate com merce committee. Swore Vengeance. Prof. Walter M.

PALS THE WORLD BY ITS INHUMAN BRUTALITY. 8fcpoking fteveiatievie. The Belgian king, Leopold, la shown to be an avaricious, cruel grafter by revelations contained in a book on the Congo Free State, published at Parts and Brussels by the Belgian, Prof. Cattiar, indicating, that during the ;>a«t decade King Leopold has draws an amount estimated at $15,000,000 from the rubber trade in the Congo (domaine de la Couronne), there being no trace of this in the published accounts of the Congo administration. King Leopold's personal property, consists of 289,375 square kilometres, or An fjrea 2 1-2 times the size of England, bringing him profits on India rubber alone-of $15,147,000 during the last 10 years. Rev. Dr. Herbert S. Johnson, of the Warren Avenue Baptist church, Boston, Mass., who is touring the country in the interests of the Congo Reform Association, says that, up ttrwithln a comparatively short time, ne, u&e --G—Stasia? Hallr 4.y man -Abbott, an& others, hesitated about taking up the work. But the official report of the commissioners, quite different from aliejje^^ esumesof t n f t same, has converted him, and taking this report as a basis, he paints a condition of things in the territory known to the world as the "Congo Free State," which beggers anything known in civilized hlstory. King Leopold appears a monster of greed and blood, who, at the age of 71 years, destroys human life, ruins commerce and productive land that he may pour, more gold Into his coffers. Dr. Johnson laughed in derision when shown the London dispatch which says that, during the last decade King Leopold has drawn an amount estimated at $15,000,000 from ibe rubber trade of the Congo. . "He gets more than that every year," declared Dr. Johnson. "We es timate King Leopold's income at $20,- 000,000 a year. He is the richest man In the world." "Never in the history of the world has there been a crime equal to thr crime of King Leopold." "In the last flftoen years he has murdered between eight and twelve millions of people. He has depopulated whole districts." "Every time a 'guard' shoots a native he cuts off a hand. In one small (ii.strict 6,000 right hands were cut off within six months." "King Leopold is no longer on trial. lie has been tried and convicted by his own commission. The only thing that remains now is to pass sentence." "The report of the king's own commission says that the natives are obliged to work 280 days a year by way of tax. They go into the woods two weeks at a time to gather rubber. Then :hey are allowed to stay in their villages for two or three days. Then they are sent back into the wilderness. To all practical pufpdses they are slaves. And King Leopold has chosen as guards, cannibals from hostile tribes. He has furnished them with rapid fire guns and chicottes, whips formed of hippopotamus hide, twisted when green into a corkscrew shape, i nese guards pillage, massacre and outrage, performing every cruelty known to savage warfare. Let me give you one example of the things that are fit to be told, for many incidents are too horrible to be printed. "John H. Harris, who has returned Horn the heart of the Congo region, >;ays that, on one occasion, he saw one of the rubber gatherers seized by six men and stretched out on the ground, and lashed with the chicotte until he was a bleeding mass. You must remember that a chicotte will cut eiean to the backbone. To intimidate, they sometimes cut off the hands of r'ne men and the feet of the women. Kvery time a guard shoots a native he cuts off a hand, to show that he has not used his bullet in killing game. For the game belongs to the king. In oae small district 6,000 right hands were cut off within six months. "In 1891 Thomas Moody went to the mission station at Irebu. He found there between eight and ten thousand natives. Six years later he revisited the place, and there were only between three and five hundred remaining. In 1890, fifty people out of the original thousands were at the station.

"forced as they are to live in the open forests without protection of any sort, thousands of these poor people succumb ^0..pulmonary diseases, dying like sheep.

Mrs. Hodges* who has been boarding at 85 Winder street, was notified of the tragedy soon after. She left at noon to take charge of the body. It is presumed. Hodges was temporarily insane from melancholia. For three weeks he had been under the care of a physician. Mrs. Hodges says •he knew that her husband was worried but had no idea he was in a state bordering on insanity. "He had had trouble over the settlement of his mother's estate," said she, "and I think it preyed on his mind." The suicide was carefully planned, according to dispatches from Pine Lake. Hodges sat down in a chair, and resting his head against the barret ot the shot gun contrived to poll the trigger. The top of his head was blown off and the wall is spattered with blood and brains. Hod.gea was 49 years old. His father was Ira O. Hodges, who built the old Hodges house in Pontlac, which today is one of the city's leading hotels. His parents are both dead, and it was over Mrs. Hodges' estate that the trouble is said to have occurred.

It might have been different with him, as his mother explains: "My 11-year-old boy is large, well developed and^active, and has been made so by his fondness for Grape- Nuts food. At five years he was a very ne« /ous child and was subject to frequent attacks ot indigestion which used to rob him of his strength and were very troublesome to deal with. He never seemed to care for anything for his breakfast until I tried Grape-Nuts, and I have never had to change from that. He makes his entire breakfast of * Grape-Nuts food. It Is always relished by hlra and he says that it satisfies him better than the ordinary kind of a meal. "Better than all he is no longer troubled with indigestion or nervousness, and has got to be a splendidly developed fellow since he began to use Grape-Nuts food."

Thus, a s the day drew near its end, Colonel John with one arm In a sling, and the thanks of Sherman ringing in his ears, galloped along the suburban road that would take him to Lyndhurst. The country was still excited. Once a bullet ripped past the head of the Federal rider. Some concealed marksman on the hillside had taken a flying shot at him, in the hope of assisting the cause. Colonel John glanced up in time to see a ring of white smoke curl over tne bushes—drawing a heavy Colt's, which would throw lead almost as well as a musket, he sent a round of shots into the copse that must have made the unseen marksman uneasy, even if no danger resulted. As he approached the Granger estate he drew in his horse to get a second look at the figure of a man seen in the gloaming near the ruins, but the party vanished from view be* hind a clump of magnolias. Somehow John seemed impressed with the idea that1 it was his cousin Crockett—the figure resembled him, and his walk was the same, a wound received during the fierce fight at PittsburgLanding making him limp. Arrived at the plantation he made the round and found everything In apple pie order. Near the house John met the- sergeant, who handed his horse over to an orderly. "She's been here, kurnel," announced Shanks, In a solemn way. Colonel John frowned. "Then I see trouble ahead, for the woman is utterly unscrupulous and hates me bitterly." "I've seen her before, sir. and d'ye know I've got a good notion she's a spy." "For my part, Shanks, I've believed that before* and I feel it my duty to send word to headquarters. She is a dangerous woman, and should be but win you grant me a few minutes' conversation," he said. She lowered her eyes. "I see no reason why I should, sir," was her reply, but although John was not blocking the way she made no attempt to pass him. "I believe you would not knowingly be unjust to any one, Miss Mollie. Do you consider it right to condemn me unheard?" "I condemn you?" she said, in some scorn—-"indeed, «1 am not bothering my poor head about you one way or the other, Colonel Ridgeway." This was really a cruel cut, and he winced under it, but recovered as he saw how she was quivering with suppressed excitement. "Nevertheless, I have reason to believe an enemy of mine has seen you to-day, and I fear, knowing her past history, that she may have traduced me in her mad desire to do an injury. Her name is Belle Stevens. I believe she follows the perilous occupation of a female spy." "It is to her credit—she loves the South," said Squire Granger's daugh- Sar, firmly. "I don't gainsay a word of it. While I stand ready to shoulder any sins of which I may have been guilty in the _pasi I don't mean_to let an adventuress of this stamp play with my reputation as if it were a bubble. She has said something about me that has decreased your respect. I- value that morFThan r=caTrsay; thereforerf te^ slst upon your giving me a chance to defend myself." His eloquence caused Mollie to change her mind. Besides there was a secret hope far down in her heart, conceal it as she would, that Colonel John might prove himself innocent. "Sir, you are right. The courts allow even the most wretched prisoner a chance to defend himself, and I shall ask you one question," "Which I promise to answer as i caused her up in Chattanooga, and she plays upon the fact that she has some claim upon the family name, thanks to my cousin Crockett." Then he pondered oyer the matter, and presently extracted a few grains of comfort from what had erstwhile seemed wholly forbidding. "Her coolness had flown—she even showed signs of anger and mortification. Gome, John, my dear boy, have courage. If she hadn't insensibly grown to care for you she would not have given way to such emotion. De> tests me—ah, don't you believe i t Fortune gave me her hand, and by the goda I shall yet win her heart" Having arrived at this happy conclusion, the soldier philosopher joined his comrades upon the veranda, and was soon enjoying a pipe of tobacco. for In these war times the plebian pipe wa» a source of solace to officers as well as men. It was problematical how long Sherman's army would stay in Atlanta. His avowed purpose of marching through the heart of Georgia was already known, but there were few among the Confederate Jeaders willing. to believe him daring enough to cut loose from his base of supplies and enter upon such a long journey through the heart of an intensely hostile country, upon which his legions must necessarily depend for subsistance. This only proved that they did not know Sherman. Colonel John could not tell what day or hour his command might be detached for action. Others were in plenty who would guard the shrewd planter's property as well as the cavalry colonel, and he was In demand just at present. Although compelled to evacuate Atlanta, the soldiers of the Confederacy hovered near: ready~tu~seize upon any advantage that might present itself. Knowing these facts Colonel John concluded it would be good policy to make hay_while the sun Rhone. CQZQKEi: JO/XT He began laying his wires at once. The others no doubt thought their unusually brilliant comrade rather dull, but beyond a little chaffing which he took In good part made no attempt to disturb his thoughts. Squire Granger joined them. He had found that the society of Federal officers was less of a bore than he had anticipated, and at times it was even a pleasure to talk with cultivated Northern men upon subjects that had no reference to the war— commercial projects—plans for making a great country outjrf the South in case the war ended and found her deprived of slave labor—designs for improving the old time methods of cotton picking and kindred topics of intense interest to a Georgia planter whose good sense did not allow him to ignore the handwriting on the wall which eyes blinded by sectional prejn- JOODKOPS jbfc*tafafefttfaMli0itteA»- ti^teStoaMeteettiBowehQf < » , : • ! ) K i . \ Promotes DigeationCteerfurfttss andfestContains neUter OjAmtMorphme nor Itaerai.

I reckon y'>e accomplished what she came to?." Colonel John looked deeply troubled lmt he was not the man to avoid Threatening evil. Such a spirit could ni'vev have won the victories that had noA-ned his career. He met. his subordinate officers and nave them the stirring news of the day. ? TJien Squire Granger joined them. His demeanor was grave, but the planter was a gentleman above even his hatred for any one wearing the. blue. At the tafcle Mollie appeared to peri;; rm her di^y. Her mannec was cold. John was ^usually grave during the monl. When ho caught Mollie's eyes she turned her head away and f.-owner?. This told him something had happened to disturb her, and singularly enough he even felt pleased to know N' had so far entered into her life that s".w could be disturbed by malicious ;:^es affectujfr his honor. Colonel John was watching • bis r-hance. . He did not join the gentlemen in I'K-ir i;ost-prandial smoke upon the i n c h , but kept Jn eye upon the drawins room, and when a white-robed figure glided Into its interior, the soldier lost rio time in following. So Mollie, turning from the table whither she had gone to get a book, round herself face to face with the man she would avoid.' I beg your rardon, Miss Mollie, truly as though it came from my angel mother." "You admit that you have met this girl before. When you called her Belle Stevens were you aware of the fact that she has a right to another name?" He flushed, then smiled. "I was aware- of the fact," he replied. "And that this name was Ridgeway?" she continued. "My dear Miss M'ollie, even that was known to me." "Then I can only repeat what I said before—a hypocrite is the greatest abomination on earth, and I detest you. Colonel John Ridgeway." CHAPTER XV. aice would not see, Thus another night settled down over the city. Little did Colonel Ridgeway dream what that night was destined to hold for him—of the strange adventure that must fall to his lot ere glowing Phoebus again swung his ruddy orb above the eastern hills. While he sat upon the veranda smoking and listening in a dreamy way to the conversation of his officers, the form of Sergeant Shanks loomed up in the gloaming. "Colonel, there's a messenger here with a note for you. I chanced to run across him while he was having some difficulty with the pickets, and thought it best_to bring him direct to you," said the sergeant. (To be continued.) A Message. She was gone before vhe soldier could catch his breath and make a reply, gone with flashing eyes, suspiciously moist, and with a breast that heaved under more than ordinary emotion. ' As for Colonel John, when he found a vacancy where the charming Geor/ gia girl had just stood, he recovered his wits and sprang to the door, but it was too late, for Mollie could no longer be seen. So the doughty warrior fell to pacing up and down the room, gnawing his mustached lip in a manner suggestive of at least annoyance, even if it could be called by no stronger term. "Here's a pretty kettle of fish, sure enough. What can I do to convince the dear girl that I am not the base villain she bellevts me? Of course I can comprehend the motive of this Stevens woman—revenge lies at the bottom of it; revenge for the trouble Curious Medical Phenomena. A Philadelphia physician, while making a social visit at the house of a friend, chanced to meet a colleague. After a general conversation a remark was made that gave a professional turn to the talk. The first physician said: "You know one may look into the throat of a child and determine upon which foot it is standing merely by the way the blood collects on the other side of the body." "A more remarkable fact than that," observed the second doctor} "is that by manual training you. can actually increase the size of the brain of a stupid child, so that by proper mental exercise it develops a marked degree of lntelllger.ee." It is probable that the host began to suspect that his medical friends were trying to "chaff" him; at any rate, he, as a layman, contributed the following extraordinary addition to the stock of medical knowledge: "Gentlemen," said he, "the facts you mention are nothing compared to one coming under my own observation.

We have trouble to get clover to grow on .our prairie land. I have seen an occasional field of fair clover on the timber land. It is considered impracticable to grow clover on the cprairie land, but the experiment station has proven that it can be made a very valuable crop on this Ugiat colored clay soil. I find that sowing the seed the last of March, when the ground is "honeycombed" with tho frost, has given good results. It will grow well in corn sown at the last cultivation, if the season is favorable. I also have it doing well in a meadow sown in September, so that I am of the opinion that it will do to sow it at any time when conditions are favorable for it to germinate and get a start. I do not know of any being sown on snow. I have not grown and threshed any seed, and all the seed used In this locality Is brought from other sections. We have no trouble with poor seed when good recleaned seed is bought from reliable houses. To grow clover successfully on the prairie land the work of the experiment station has shown that we must add lime, phosphorus cndjnoculate the son with clover bacteria, I sowed alalke clover last summer in the corn at last cultivation. Thla, was in a young orchard of 30 acres, every two middles have been taken for an experiment plot. On all those treated with Rue and phosphorus the clover made % fair growth. Where lime alone was used there was very little clover; where there was no lime there waa no clover. Even on the plot with phosphorus alone (rock phosphate) the clover did not grow.—A.

She haa the advantage of personal experience, besides her professional education, and what she haa to say may be absolutely relied upon. Many other women are afflicted aa she was. They can regain health in the same way. It is prudent to heed such advice from such a source. Mrs. Pohlman writes: " I am "firmly persuaded, after eight years of experience with Lydia E.

I became weak and pale, with severe bearing-down pains, fearful backaches ana frequent dizzy spells. The doctori prescribed for me, yet I did not improve. I would bloat after eating, and frequently become nauseated. I haa pains down through my limbs so I could hardly walk. It waa as bad a case of female trouble as I have ever known.

THE TAX COMMISSION'S SECOND THOUGHT CHANGES IT. THK TAXES ARE INCREASED BY FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AT LAST. THE GOVERNOR PLEASED OVER THE RESULT OF T H E WORK AS FINALLY DONE., Same Rats Applied. The corrected railroad tax assessment was completed by the state tax commission shortly before midnight Thursday after forty-eight hours of hard work on the part of the commissioners. While the assessment ~has not been increased, the'board has practically ignored the Galbraith law permitting an equalization between the general properties and the railroads, and hasiftxed the rate at the amount termined was the average rate levied on the general properties of the state, which it has been ascertained and determined was the average rate levied on the general properties of the state, thus.increasing the railroad taxes half a million dollars. The total tax assessed against the railroads on the tentative assessment of January 15 was $3,026,000. Under the present assessment the lax to be paid is $3,584,021.43. The rate that is now applied is $TL4QT-thatbeing tM_rate which general properties of the state paid last year. ' Apparently the board of state assessors maintained the values at which the railroads were assessed, making only such changes as the information which was obtained on review seemed to justify. A few of the railroads made showings which seemed to entitle them to a reduction of their assessments, among them being the Wabash and some of the smaller lines found by Profs. Cooley and Adams to be overassessed. It will be seen that by the application of the rate of taxation found to have been paid on the general properties last year the railroads will be taxed approximately $500,000 more than it was proposed to levy under the Galbraith law. The present assessment, therefore, wipes out the $300,000 reduction in the roads' taxes provided for by the original assessment and adds $200,000 more to the total. The governor made the following statement regarding the assessment: "The railroads will pay under this as- MICHIGAN ITEMS. Mrs. Jofc* Kr«s«a«*-feH on * *U»> pery aide Walk In the dark knd crushed the life out of her 15-weeka-oid baby, boy. sessment $500,000 more taxes than they would have paid under the figures first given out by the tax commission, and $200,000 more than they paid last year. The railroads will now be assessed at over one-eighth of the valuation of alltfhe other property of the state a3 fixed by the local assessors. This, I believe, to be a fair ratio, and it certainly will be accepted as such by the people of the state. This action of the tax commission places the railroads on practically the same basis as the general properties of the state for assessing purposes. I do not believe that anyone will attempt to maintain that all the property of the state not owned by railroads is assessed at its actual cash value, nor do I believe this to be true of the railroad property under the present assessment, but, as I stated before, I consider the ratio now established between the two to be practically a fair one." court for Judge Smith In Oakland and Lapeer.' •"•"•••"•"*.-.. *>* v Three Grand Rapids men have taken a step toward the Amerlcanlaetlon ©1 Cuba by forming a company to run a brewery at Camaguey, The U. of M. regent* will establlab a chair of architecture.

The high corsage was cut square In [ the neck and filled in with diagonal folds of tulle. Point lace,' matching the flounces in pattern, together with orange blossoms, ornamented the bodice and adorned the sleeves. The long veil was of the thinnest tulle, with the faint edge undefined by a hem. The bridal chaplet of orange flowers crossed the front of the coiffure, and was caught at the left side in a cluster. The wedding breakfast was served in the State dining-room. The gifts came from a great number of donors and were valued at upward of $100,- 000. a great sum in those days. The autumn succeeding the marriage of Miss Nellie Grant her brother. Col. Frederick Dent Grant, was married in Chicago oh Oct. <20 to Miss Ida Honore. and on .Nov. 10 the President and Mrs. Grant gave the bridal pair a reception at the White House. Col. and Mrs. Grant passed the next three winters in the White House, and it was there that their daughter, Julia Grant, was born in June, 187s. This daughter is now the Princess Cantacuzene, Countess Speraesky of Russia. The first silver wedding to be celebrated in the White House was that of President and Mrs. Hayes. On Dec. SI, 1877, they met their friends in the Blue room. The actual anniversary had been kept on the afternoon of Dec. 30, which fell upon Sunday. The Rev. Dr. McCabe. who had married them, renewed bis pastoral blessing in the same words and heard the same pledges that were uttered twenty-five years before. The tenth White House weddins. AT WASHINGTON. and the wedding service followed. The bride wore a gown of ivory satin, with trimmings of India silk arranged in Grecian folds over the front of the high corsage and fastened in the fol<^4 of satin at the side. Orange blossom* and buds and leaves outlined this drapery and adorned the edge of the skirt. A coronet of orange blossoms fastened the veil, and garnitures of the same blossoms were artistically arranged throughout the costume. Her veil of silk tulle enveloped her and softened the effect of the satin gown. It fell over the entire length of the long court train. Gloves reaching to the elbow completed the costume. No jewelry save her engagement ring was worn, and nc flowers were carried. Tfre habit of gift making had not reached its height when President Cleveland was :t;*.nied, and the crowned heads of Europe, the American Ministers at foreign courts, and countless other people contented themselves with sending telegrams ol congratulation. The only gift the bride exhibited to her friends was a dia» mond necklace, composed of a single string of brilliants, the gift of the bridegroom. To this gift Mr. Biaselt, the former law partner of the President, added a pendant of diamonds. The wedding of Miss Alice Roosevelt and Congressman Nicholas Long* worth in the East Room of the Execn tive Mansion is the twelfth to occur in the White House. Twenty years have passed since Miss Frances Folsom became a bride at the White House, and thirty-four years have been numbered since Gen.

Lights from the interior of the house found avenues of egress*through door and window, casting broad banners across the darkening piazza. . The so-called messenger wa«> a darky. "Weil Sambo, what do you want?" demanded the colonel. "Is you Kernel Ridgeway, sah?" "That Is my name." "Kernal John Ridgeway?" "Yes." 'Tse got somethin' for youse, sah.'' "W^U out with it." "Yes/ sah, in one minute, sah. jess as soon as I disremembers whah I secreted urn, sah." Then followed a hasty search of his garments, until John was really afraid the scarecrow would fall to pieces under such vigorous action. He knew just how to deal with such irresponsible creatures—they /only need a firm hand to guide them—show any excitement and they become too rattled for anything. "Was this a note you had, Pomp?" he asked. ~ ~ ~ "Dat's jess* wat it am, massa. if 1 kin only recerlect whar I put um." "Stop and consider—you desired to make it secure so it might not be lost."' . "Gorry, how you knows dat, massa Jternal?" "Where would the safest place be— in the lining of your coat?" "Ain't got none, sah." "in your shoes?" "Gorry, I*specks not wif dem holes." "In the lining of your hat?" "Gorry, massa kernal. you am a wizard. It am dar, suah enuff, an' hyar am de note." Colonel John took the crumpled paper and opened it. No doubt his curiosity was somegroup gathered about the planter, and excused himself. " "A sudden private matter calls, for my attention in Atlanta. I shall be back in all probability before ten. Until then, good night, gentlemen." Ho called his second 4A command aside and gave him orders concerning the disposition of the men. They were- comparatively few in number and on the outskirts of the Federal line. It behooved them to keep a sharp watch. - Bands of guerrillas were roving in a miscellaneous way around the country, and might at any time happex upon the plantation. Finding it guarded by a Federal force they could easily judge the owner mast be in . close touch with the enemies of the South. This would naturally arouse their passions, and such lawless marauders would take the keenest delight in applying the torch to the buildings that had thus far existed through the troublous times marking the siege of the Gate City. Sergeant Shanks presently appeared again, announcing that the horses were ready. Together "the three~mounted~iind rode away, the black looking more like a grinning ape upon the back of a horse than a human being. The colonel having one arm in a sling was not in a prime condition for an engagement of any sort, but his wound was slight and would be healed in a few days. Soon the environs of the city appeared, the breastworks which the Confederates had defended stubbornly against a superior toe, until the disasters at Kenesaw, Peach Orchard and other battlefields warned them Atlanta was doomed, and they must evacuate unless they desired to have their homes wrecked by a bombardment. Then they rode.among the houses, along the avenue that in the years to Wisdom the South to know that she had sacrfe!

No wonder then, WoHen was eager to put him out of the way—Mollie aa the cotonel'a widow: would be a poesible prise for him to win. Colonel John had these things an his mind as he and the sergeant walked- along the streets of Atlanta behind their sable guide. The railroads ^had been crippled ere Atlanta'fell, but Sherman's men were now Engaged in building them up and defending them. All the vast supplies for his army must come by rail from Chattanooga, and until these had been accumulated, Sherman would make Atlanta his headquarters. Many stirring scenes could be witnessed in the streets of Atlanta, Here blazed an incendiary fire, and the soldiers in blue fought the flames like heroes, for if it once passed beyond their control, with a strong wind blowing, the entire city might be consumed* Whatever 'the motive that brought Colonel John to the city on this night, when he would have liked nothing better than to rest after the great exertion of the day, he seemed bent upon carrying out the request, of the note. Beyond making sure that he was armed, and that Sergeant Shanks was in the same condition, he did not aypear to have any fears regarding the attendant circumstances. And at length their black guide came to a halt: . ^ " l | • ' • . * I ' I • ' I ) • • • C " - ~— » T— . • - r « yf SftNTiMftNT GQtfMTt P 0 * MU$ft •**- !

"Here am de house, massa kernaL sah." CHAPTER XVI. The League Againet the Colonel. Colonel John was «roused by these words of his guide—he had fallen into quite a reverie as he walked along, and it may easily be surmised that the peculiar adventure had happened to him under the Lyndhurst roof occupied a prominent place in his thoughts by day and by night. He now found they were in front of a plain dwelling house. It did not differ from scores of others in the immediate vicinity, which was of the poorer classes. There was nothing about the place to indicate danger. Federal soldiers could be seen on the street in either direction, for Atlanta was tight in the grip of Sherman's host, and overrun by the boys in blue. "STOOP 23ZZ3F,£tfCJm /Z7T. what aroused, an<:. yet the chances were ten to one he would find it a begging letter from someone he had once known many years ago, who believed he might have some influence now to save him from threatening danger, for with the advent'of'the Federal forces intp Atlanta no doubt more than one private score of. long standing was wiped out. Whatever the contents of the miss ive, the colonel seemed interested, foi he read it over again. That it did not contain pleasant news one could readily guess from the frown upon his brow. He turned upon the messenger. * Who gave you this note, Scipio?" %<G*rry, de lady herself, massa kernal,'" stammered the fellow, who seemed to answer to any name, so long as it applied an African descent. "Can you take me to her?" *I spect I kin, sah.M "Sergeant." "Colonel," and Shanks, who had respectfully fallen back while his officer interrogated the darky and read the note, loomed 'up again. , "Have two horses saddled and prepare to accompany me to Atlanta. See here, how did you come out to Lyndhurst, oh a horse or afoot?" "On a mewl, sah.'' "Well, you'll ride back on a horse —sergeant, an extra animal for Pomp —he can get his mule in the morning." ""Gorry!" was all the scarecrow said, but he looked as though he could nardly contain himself at the prospect of soon being astride a genuine horse, flanked on either side by a soldier in the blue of the United States Government. That was glory enough fov one day. come would be the" most beautiful in the Southland, the homes of senators, governors and bankers. When they pulled up at a stable and dismounted, leaving the horses in charge, Colonel John turned to the grotesque scarecrow whose hand had delivered the message, saying: "Now it's your turn, my man. Lead us to the house where this lady may be found—the lady from whom you received the note." The negro cast a glance of inquiry toward Shanks, which action was not unnoticed by the colonel and his faithful attendant. "Does we all go, massa kernal?" asked the negro. "The sergeant accompanies us. This city is in the hands of the Federals, but there are many quarters, I do not doubt, where the life of a Union officer might be in danger, did he choose to roam about unattended after nightfall. I am not so great a fool. Load on, Scipio, you hear?" "Yes, sah, at once, sah," returned the other. Colonel John had already positive evidence of the fact that he was not without bitter enemies. That was <he most cruel part of the civil war—it divided families, caused hatred between brothers, and pitted father against son. His cousin hated him bitterly, not because John had ever done him an evil turn, but simply on account of the bitter feeling the wicked always entertain toward any one different from themselves. Then there was Major Worden. He had good cause to feel especially bitter toward the Yankee colonel. Being enamored with pretty Mollie Granger, and resolved to win her for his wife, it must have been deeply Colonel John walked ovor to ,ihe -{ humiliating to this proud soldier of "Sergeant, wait for me at the door." "Yes, colonel." "If I call or you hear any suspicion-; sounds, enter.'" 'Yes, colonel." 'After you have broken every bone in the body of this darkv whom T leave in your charge." "Yes. colonel." 'Golly, dat iiin me—I'se a dead nipger if de massa kernal ,hab a fit," groaned Sambo, but the sergeant pale no heed to hid lamentations, and calmly proceeded to lay a hand upon his 1 shoulder, while with the other he ex: poseci a revolver, the sight of which almost made the poor darky's wool stand up on end with fright. Meanwhile Colonel John stalked up to the door, upon which he knocked loudly. There were lights in the house, but the curtans were drawn so that not a glimpse of the interior could be obtained. In answer to his summons the sound of bolts being withdrawn could be plainly heard. Then the door opened a few inches. "What do you want?" asked a voice. "I have come—you sent for me," returned the soldier. "It is Colonel Ridgeway." Then the door opened wider. Colonel John experienced a queer sensation as in answer to the invitation extended to him he stepped across the door-sill and entered the house. He found himself in a plainly furnished room. Colonel John, having cast his eyes around to make a mental note of his position, now turned his gaze upon a woman, the only person in the room. She had quietly closed the door, and stood there facing him. He started at sight of that darkly beautiful face, seeing which she gave a low laugh, a disagreeable laugh that gave the hearer a shudder. "Well, I hardly expected to find you here, madame," he said, with a frown. "No doubt, and yet you knew I was in the city, my dear Colonel John," returned the woman, advancing close to his side. "That is true—you- dared to call upon my—that is upon Miss Granger, and tell her a base lie—to affirm that I was your' husband because through the grace of my cousin Crockett you have a right to bear the name of Ridgeway. Perhaps I ought to thank you for your kind action, since I have reason to believe it has furthered my cause." (To b"" continued. ' * Eruptions Appeared on Cheat* and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out—Cured by Cuticura. "I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken, out; also my arms and the lower limb* as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prickly heat. But &oo$ scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to a physician I put chased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, m which I bad groat faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only a little lower; but before it had time to spread I pro* cured another supply of the Cuticura Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete.
