Alaaka'i extreme breadth from eaat to west i t 2,200 miles In an air line. According to Prof. Gu>*t, a recognised -iUtliority on all geographic matters, the Island of Attu, in Alaska, la as far west of San Francisco as the coast of Maine Is east/>f that city; or, in «*ther worda, San Francrtco is the great middle eity between the extreme eaaC and west of the United States, tmya Jay Monroe Latimer in Metropolitan Magazine, a fact which is very dfHcurt for the eastern miudt to grasp. Ttm breadth of Alaska from north to south is 1,400 miles. Now about the coast line! According to the Unked States coast survey the shore line of Alaska, up and down the bays and around the islands, measures 25,000 miles, ©r two and one-half times that of the Atlantic a«d Pacific coast llse of the remaining portion of the United StateB. The coast of Alaska, if extended in a straight line, would belt the globe. Nearly 40 years ago, when Secretary of Stat* Seward proposed that the United States should purchase this vast tract of land, the people throughout the length and breadth of . t h e union shouted: "Folly! folly! $7,200,000 for an iceberg!" Nevertheless, Secretary Seward was wiser than his day and generation. He introduced the bill before congress; and there after stormy and lengthy debates he secured its passage, and the United States received fromftussia the greatest of all her possessions. Coal Industry In Montana. The coal mining industry in Montana has, according to the records, just entered the second quarter century of its history. So far as known, the first coal produced in the state, or the territory, as it was then, was mined in 1880, In which year the production amounted to J24 tons. It was not until 1889, however, that the industry assumed any importance, the production increasing nearly 800 per cent., from 41,467 short tons in 188 to 363,301 short tons the following year. During the next six years develop raent advanced rapidly, until In 1895, it exceeded 1,500,000 tons. Compara tively little fluctuation was shown by statistics of production from 1895 to 1906, but in 1906 considerable improve ment was evident, the production hav ing increased from 1,643,832 short tons, valued at $2,823,350, in 1905, to 1,829,921 short tons, valued at $3,240, 359, in 1906, a gain of 186,089 tons, or 11.3 per cent, in quantity, and $417,- 007, or 14.8 per cent., in value. The number of men employed in the coal mines of Montana Increased from 2,181, in 1905 to 2,394 in 1906, the average number of working days being the same (243) in both years. The average production per man in 1906 was 764.4 short tons, against 753.7 In 1905, and the average dally production per man was 3.1.5 ton.s in 1906, against 3.10 tons in 1905. Problem of Air Navigation. Apropos of the prevailing acute interest in aeronautics abroad, a foreign critic intimates that, the United States Is far behind other countries, and speaks rather slurringly of our alleged nonprogresaiveness. But there Is no occasion for getting "hot under the collar" hecause of the insinuation, soothingly remarks the Troy (N. Y.) Times. That other countries are greatly in the lead of the United States in this matter really remains to be proved. And even-if the allegation he true, what assurance does it furnish that this country will long remain in the rear of the procession? Americans have a knack of "catching on" which serves them excellently when necessary. The old world had a btg lead on automobiles, for instance. But it haB not taken long for the United States to work its way to first place In motor-car production. It would not be at all surprising if, after everybody else has done his best and fallen short of turning out a suceasful flying machine, some American should come along and perfect an airship which would surpass all others.

LAWLESSNESS RAMPANT. Murderous Assaults Not PunishW and Conditions Arouse Business M e n - Governors Action Pleases Better Element. Lawlessness in Ontonagon county 4* being investigated by the state. At ts»uey General Bird and Deputy Attorney General George Law are (¾ persouully conduct the inquisition. Many complaints have been made to Gev. Vfaruer. Representative bust* n«ws men of Ontonagon complained that the county Is eutirely disorganized. Th*y declared that the official* ure afraid to enforce the law and that the itffairo of the county government are muddled. One of the causes of complaint is that about two months ago an Austrian at Xass City Quarreled with a girl. He «hot at the girl several times, but none of thu bullets took effect. The Austrian was not arrested on a charge of attempted murder. Instead, he was sent to jail for 90 days on conviction on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. Another shooting case that io under investigation by the state Is that connected with the strike riots at the Michigan mine a year ago. Several Finns were wounded, but nothing was done in the way of prosecution. Since the strike riots the worst element in the county seems to have a general disregard - for the law, although the allegation is made that disorder ha* been kept well in hand by the authorities. At the present time Ontonagon in overrun with woodsmen. Men In the lumber camps and at the mills have been laid off on account of the decreased demand for lumber brought on by the flnaicial conditions. Paid off in checks, which are subject to heavy discounts if converted Into cash, the men are dissatisfied and there is more or less trouble. Brutal Murder of Child. The mysterious and brutal murder of a 2-year-old child that lay sleeping in its cradle at the home of M\ D. Morehouse at South Haven has aroused the countryside and is puzzling the police authorities. One arrest has been made, but it is beHeved the prisoner, Mr. Morehouse, had nothing to do with the crime. The child belonged to Mrs. William Fralick, who left it in care of Morehouse, her foster father, while she went to Grand Rapids. As soon as the shooting had been learned Morehouse was rushed to jail. He said the child occupied a cradle in the same room as he and that at 2:30 a. m. he was awakened by a revolver shot. Upon investigating he found the baby had been wounded in the head. He hurried to a neighbor's to telephone for assistance. He declared he saw no one and heard nothing but the shot. However, he was placed in custody to await an Investigation. The police are now trying lo locate Mrs. Fralick as a witness, believing that .she may be jible to think of some motive for the crime. It is .said there has been much trouble over property in which the child was interested, but. no tangible motive for the crime has yet 'been brought to light. Clgarmakiog in Prison Abolished. Through the efforts of organized labor, the manufacture of cigars in Marquette prison is to he abolished. Though many of those who have sampled the product, have believed for a long time that the institution had outlived its usefulness, it. was not until after several years' agitation, expensive law suits with, and petitions to the authorities, that the reform has been accomplished. The cigar contract expires the first of the year, but the contractors have been given four months' grace to wind up business. The manufacture of cigars will continue until Just before the expiration of that time, and then the convicts who have been making cigars will begin the manufacture of overalls. The board of control ef the prison has let the contract covering the men now employed by the Franklin Cigar Co. to L. S. Shower, who for some years has been overall contractor at the prison. Charges Three Cent Fares. Complaints have been made to the state railroad commission that the Chicago, Kalamazoo & Saginaw railroad has been charging a tteree c fare since the two cent fare law took effect. It8 earnings have been unddr $1,200 per mile, which would entitle it to the higher fare, but as its stock is owned by the Michigan Central and Lake Shore railroads, In equal proportion, It has been contended that the road should be considered a part of these systems and subject to the two cent regulation. The railroad commission has decided that such a construo* tion cannot be placed on the law and the road will be permitted to collect the three cent fare.

The president has refused to take the least notice of it, but his friends are furious. Mr. Roosevelt has often been tAken to task for criticism of the judiciary— particularly so in the case of Judge Humphrey, of Chicago, who gave immunity to the beef packers—but never before has a member of the highest court in the land taken occasion to impugn dishonest motives to the president of the United States. Justice Brewer stands squarely on what he said. He still believes t h a t the president is dodging the third-term issue and playing hide and seek wKh the people. When he was asked if he would say anything further along the lines of his speech, he replle'd: "There Is nothing more to say," Efforts to secure some expression of opinion from the White House were unsuccessful. The president would not meet newspaper callers, and Secretary Loeb would authorize no expression. One federal officeholder, who Is in close relations with the president, expressed the contempt with which the speech was ignored by saying: "It is not necessary to reply to a man in his dotage." President to Review Fleet. Secretary of the Navy Metcalf signed the formal order for the review of the Atlantic fleet by the president In Hampton Roads on December 10. The vessels will not be reviewed by the president while thej are at anchor, as has been the case twice before during the Jamestown exposition, when he reviewed them In Hampton Roads. Instead he will review them as they pass out of the Roads through the capes to the sea. The Mayflower, flying the president's flag, will leave Washington on the afternoon of Sunday, December 15, and reach Hampton Roads about 8 o'clock Monday morning. It is not the intention of the president to go aboard any of the battleships, hut Immediately after the Mayflower anchors Rear Admiral Evans, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, and the various flag officers, will *go on hoard the Mayflower and pay their respects to tn« president. They will be followed by the commanding officers of the ships. Immediately upon their return to their respective vessels the order will be given for the fleet to get under way and stand out, preceded by the Mayflower. Close Call for "Uncte Joe." Speaker Cannon was in a railroad wreck at Bismarck, 111., near Danville. He escaped injury, although his life was in great danger. Train No. 14 of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad ran into an open switch, derailing two cars, in one of which Mr. Cannon was riding. The speaker's car turned squarely across the track but, miraculously, did not overturn. Beyond being badly shaken up, none of the passengers or trainmen were injured.

[R VIII,—Continued. pne* two, five minutes elapsed, and then a sudden suspicion of something wrong came to Old Cy, and, followed by Ray. he hurried to the landing. One patl'of water stood on the float, both their canoes were adrift on the lake, and as Old Cy locked out, .there, heading for the outlet, was a canoe! One swift glance and, "My God, he's got Chip!" told the story, and with face fierce in anger, he darted back, grasped his rifle, and returned. The canoe, its paddler bending low as he forced it into almost leaps, was scarce two lengths from the outlet. Old Cy raised his rifle, then lowered it. Chip was in that canoe! His avenging shot was stayed. And now Oldv Tomah leaped down the path, rifle In hand. One look at The vanishing canoe, and his own. floating out upon the lake, told him the tale, and without, a word lie tinned and, plunging into the undergrowth, leaping like a deer over rock and rhasm, vanished at the top ai the ridge. •tfv • CHAPTER IX. While (hip, bound, gagged and helpless in the half-breed's canoe, was Just entering the alder-choked outlet of this lake, 20 miles below and close to where the stream entered another lake, four men were launching their canoes. "It was here," Martin was saying to Officer Hersey, "one moonlight night a year ago, that a friend of mine and myself saw a spectral man astride a log, just entering that bed of reeds, as I told you. Who or what It was, we could not guess; but as that spook canoeman went up this stream, we followed and discovered our hermit's home." "Night-time and moonshine play queer pranks 'with our imagination," Hersey responded. "I'm not a whit superstitions, and yet I've many a time Been what I thought to be a hunter creeping along the lake shore at night, and I once came near pluggig a fat man in a shadowy glen. I Was up on a cliff watching down into it, the day was cloudy, and 'way below I saw what I was sure was a bear crawling along t | e bank of the stream. I bad my rifle raised * and was only waiting for a better sight, when up rose the bear and I saw a human face. For a moment it made me faint, and since then I make doubly sure before shooting at any object In the woods." _. And now these four men, Levi wielding the stern paddle of Martin's canoe, V "4nd Hersey's deputy that of his, eni^ iered the broad, winding stream. The tan spruce-tops meeting darkened its currentless course, long filaments of depended-from every ttnib Hwy twisted and turned up this highway, the air grew stifling. ^e not a sound, disturbed •Hence, and except for the leg and faint thud as gunwales, the fall of a *n heard.

The birds, Inspired perhaps or the absenoo of gloom, also added their cheering notes. Nature was smiling once more, mad not a hint or even Intuition of the fast-near* ins tragedy wet thoso m*n. , And then, as a broad, eddying bend in the stream held their, canoes, by tacit consent a halt was made. Martin, hia paddle' crossed on the thwarts In iront; dipped a cup of the cool, sweet water and drank. Levi wiped the" sweat from his face, and Hersey also quenched his thirst. The day was ho£ They had paddled ten miles. There was no hurry, and as pipes were drawn forth and filled, conversation began. But just at this moment Levi's ears, ever alert, caught the faint sound of a paddle striking a canoe gunwale. Not as usual, in an intermittent fashion, as would be the case with a skilled canoeist, but a steady, rhythmic thud. "Hist," he said, and «ilence fell upon the-group. And dow, from far ahead, came the steady tap, tap, tap. It soon Increased, and then it assured those waiting, listening men that some canoe was being urged down stream. Without a word they glanced at one another, and then, as if an intuition came to both at the game time, Martin and Hersey reached for their rifles. On and on came the steady thump, thump. And then, as those stern-faced, watching, listening men, rifles in hand, aliBBBW'-^'^ k •""-a M !J|PIAPlWBJfWf'T''i ' i Want a Qood Square Talk with Ye, My Boy." raoat side by side, waited there, out from behind this bend shot a canoe. "My God, it's Pete Bolduc! Luuk out!" almost yelled Levi, and "Halt! Surrender!" fVom Hers#y, as two rifles were leveled at the oncomer. Then one instant's sight of a red and scarred face, a quick reach for a rifle, a splash of water, an overturned canoe and with a curse the astonished halfbreed dived into the undergrowth. Two rifles spoke almost at the same instant from the waiting canoes, one answered from otit the thicket. A thrashing, struggling something In the filled canoe next caught all eyes, and Levi, leaping into the waist-deep stream, .grasped and lifted a dripping form. It was Chip! And then came another surprise; for down a sloping, thick-grown hillside, something was heard thrashing, and soon Old Tomah, his clothing in shreds, his face bleeding, appeared to view. Calculating to a nicety where he could best Intercept and head ofj^the escaping half-breed, he had crossed feur miles of pathless undergrowth in less than an hour, and reached the stream at the nearest point after It left the lake. How Chip, still sobbing from the awful agony of mind, and dripping water as well, greeted Old Tomah; how Hersey, chagrined, at the escape of the half-breed, gave vent to muttered curses; how Martin joined them in thought; and how they all gathered around Chip and listened to her tale of horror, are but minor features of the episode, and not worth the telling. When all was said and done, Old Tomah, grim and silent as ever, although he had done what, no white man could do or would try to do, washed his bJoody face in the stream, drank his fill of the cool water, and lifting Pete's half-filled canoe as easily as" If It were a shingle, tipped it,- turned the water out, and set it on the sloping bank. "Me take you back and watch you now," he said to Chip. "You no get caught again." And thus convoyed, poor Chip, willing to clasp and caress the feet or legs of any or all of thoso men, and more grateful than any dog ever was for a 4^raaa, WSJL osoortod hook t * Us* *•*». Ail those waltln* at the cabin wore at the landing when tte resetters arrived. Angle, her e?ee«rtau»J«fc i r s t embraced an* then glased the girl. Ray would hjire felt It a proud J H T - liege to have carried her to the ogbln, amd Old Cy** wrinkled face showed more joy the* ever gladdened H to all hia life, before. Somehow this hapless waif had grown dearer to them all than she or they understood. There was also feasting and rejoicing that night at Martin's wildwood home, and mingled with it all an oftmore. Shadowy forms and the mysticism of the wilderness were more to repeated tale. Old Cy told one «ad of it in his droll way, Martin related1 the other, and Chip filled up the Interim. Levi had MB say, and Hejpey supplied more or lese—-mostly more—of this half-breed's history. Old Tomah, however, said nothing. To bin, who lived in the past of a bygone x ace which looked upon lumbermen as devastating vandals ever eating into its kingdom, and whose thoughts were upon the happy huntjing'grounds soon to be entered, this half-breed's lust and cunning were as f the fall of the lea/. Were it needful he would, as he had, plunge through bramble and brier and leap over rock and chasm to rescue his big pappoose, but now that she WAS sale again, he lapsed into his steicai rejserve once his taste than all the pathos of human life; and while his eyes kindled at Chip's smile, his thoughts -were following some storm or tempest sweeping over a vast wilderness, or the rush and roar of the great white spectre. "Chip is good girl," he said to Angle the next morning, "and white lady love her. Tomah's heart Is like squaw ' heart, too; but he go away and forget White lady must not forget," and with that mixture of tenderness and stoicism he strode away, and the last seen of him was when he entered the outlet without once looking back at the cabin where his "big pappoose" was kept. More serious, however, were the facts Martin and Hersey now had to consider, and a council of war, as it were, wafe now held with Levi, Old Cy and the deputy as advisers. What the half-breed would now do, and in what way they could now capture him were, of course, discussed, and as usual in such cases, it was of no avail, because they were dealing with absolutely unknown quantities. He was now at large in this wilderness, knew where the girl and his enemies were, and as Hersey said, "He had the drop On them.-' "I believe in standing by our guns," that officer continued, after all these conclusions had been admitted. "We are here to rid the woods of this scoundrel. We have five good rifles and know how to use them. The law is on our side, for he refused to surrender, and returned our shots; and if T catch sight of him, I shall shoot to cripple, anyway." Old Cy's advice, however, was more pacific. "My notion Is this feller's a cowardly cuss," he said, "a sort o' human hyena. He'll never show himself In the open, but come prowlin' 'round nights, stealin' anything he can. He may take a pop at some on us from atop o' the ridge; but I callate he'll never venture within gunshot daytimes. His sort is alius more skeered o' uVn we need be o' him." In spite of Old Cy's conclusions, however, the camp remained In a state of siege that day and many days following. Angle and Chip seldom strayed far from the cabin. Ray assumed the water- bringing, night and morning. Old Cy and Levi patroled the premises, while Martin, Hersey, and his deputy hunted a little for game and a good deal for moccasined footprints or a sight or a sign of this half-breed. Hersey, more especially, made him his object of pursuit. He had come here for that purpose, his pride and reputation were at stake, and the thousand dollars Martin had agreed to pay was a minor factor. He and his mate passed hours in the mornings aod late in the afternoon watching from wide apart outlooks on the ridge. They made long jaunts up the brook valley where the smoke sign had been seen, they found where this half-breed had built a fire here, and later another lair, a mile from the cabins and In this ridge. Long detours they made in other directions. Old Tomah's trail in the forest was crossed; but neither In forest nor on lake shore were any recent footprints of the half-breed found. Old ones were discovered in plenty. An almost beaten trail led from his lair In the ridge to a crevasse back of the cabins, but to one well versed in wood tracks, It was easy to tell how old these tracks were. A freshly made trail in the forest bears unmistakable evidence of its date, and no woodwise man ever confounds a two or three days' old one with it. One footprint may not determine this occult fact; but followed to where the moss is spongy or the earth moist, a matter of hours, "even, can be decided. A week of this watchfulness, with no sign of their enemy's return, not eve* to wiUsJsk***: cfcpmt petroled ttme and again, begog-to teMevp s«spenee and awglen icttrtooJty. They had been so *gure# especially Martin, that h i wetl&eome bggk for revenge, tttsi npw It .waSfhard to account for his net 4oiag^ap. "My idee la he got so skeered at them two shots," Old Cy, asserted, "be hain't stopped runnin' ylt." And1 then the old man chuckled at the ludicrous picture of this pernicious "varmint" scampering through a wilderness from fright But Old Cy was wrong. It was not tear that saved them from a prompt visitation from this half-breed, but lack of means of defense. The one shot remaining in his rifle at the moment of meeting had been sent on its vengeful errand, all the rest of his ammunition was in Ills' canoe, and now on the bottom of the stream. Being thus crippled for means to act, the only course left to him was a return to his caein 75 miles away, with only a huntlug-knife to sustain life with. He lived to reach his hut on the Fox Hole, and from that moment on, this wilderness held an implacable enemy of McGuire's, sworn to kill him, first of all. CHAPTER X. For two weeks the little party at B^rch Camp first watched and then began to enjoy themselves once more. September had come, the first tint of autumn colored every patch of hardwood, a mellow haze softened the outline of each green-clad hill and mountain, the sun rose red and sailed an unclouded course each day, and gentle breezes rippled the lake. The forest, the sky, the air and earth, all seemed in harmonious mood, and the one discordant note, fear of this half-breed, slowly vanished. Chip resumed her hour of study each day; a little fishing and hunting was indulged in by Martin and the two officers; wild ducks, partridges, deer and troit supplied their, table; each evening all gathered about the open fire in Martin's new cabin, and while the older people charted, Ray took his banjo or whispered with Chip. These two, quite unguessed by Angle, had become almost lovers, and as it was understood Chip was to be taken to Greenvale, all that wonder-world to her, had been described by Ray many times. He also outlined many little plans for sleigh rides, Bkating on the mill pond, and dances which he and she were to enjoy together. His own. future and livelihood were a little hazy to him. These matters do not impress a youth of 18; but of one thing he felt sure,—that Chip with her rosy face and black eyes, always tender to him, was to be his future companion in all pleasures. It was love among the spruce trees, a summer idyl made tender by the dangers interrupting it, and hidden from all eyes except Old Cy's, who was these young friends' favorite. Hut these days of mingled romance and tragic happenings, of shooting, fishing, story-telling and wildwoed life were nearlng their end, and one evening Martin announced that on the morrow they would pack their belongings and, escorted by the officers, leave the wilderness. The next morning Old Cy took Ray aside. "I want a good square talk with ye, my boy," he said, "an' I'm goin' to do ye a good turn if I kin. Now to begin, I s'pose ye know yer aunt's goin' to take Chip to Greenvale 'n' gin her a ehance at the schoolln' she sartinly needs. Now you're cailatln' to go 'long 'n' have a heap o' fun this winter. I'm goin' to stay here 'n' keer for Amzl. This is the situation bout as It is.

We'll ketch a b'ar and pickle his meat 'n' smoke his hams, and when spring comes, I'll take ye out with mebbe five hundred dollars' worth of furs 'n' gum ez a beginnin'. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Worshipers Carry Fire.* While seeing many people leaving the cathedral I entered to look around the interior of the fine chascel. Inside I saw numbers of men carrying huge wicker baskets filled with triangular earthenware dishes in each of which still smoldered some glowing embers in a bed of white ash. These they carried into the cloisters and emptied solemnly into great metal bins. On reentering the building the secret stood revealed. Owing to the extreme cold each member of the congregation hires for a doppeltjer, or the sum of 2d., au earthen dish with a block of glowing peat under the little wooden perforated footstools with which each chair is provided.—Tit- Bits Irregular.

T-Washlngton Star, BIBLE FOR THE JEWfv How the Yiddish Translation Came tt Be Made. The Jews are the chosen people el God; through them a knowledge oi H i m and H i e works has passed to other nations, and yet up till now their own Bi bie has bouu tu them a sealed book. It is patheti cally strange that the last translation of the Holy Scriptures should be into the Ytdfrom whom the Suvlour of mankind came. It is generally assumed that the Scriptures, being lu the Hebrew language, must of necessity be open to the Jew, but this popular conception, like many others, does not rest on fact. Hebrew is not known to the Jew. But now the Jews have the Bible in the Yiddish language, thanks to the untiring zeal and enthusiasm of Mr. Marcus S. Bergma^n, himself a Jewish convert. Yiddish is the only language that is really understood by the mass of Eastern European Jews, and thu3 In giving them the BW>1e in this tongue Mr. Bergmann is opening to them for the first time their own Holy Scriptures. For twenty-one years he prayed to God that someone might be raised up who would translate the Bible into Yiddish, but never once did the thought occur to him that he himself would be the man selected for the great task. Yet so it was. He was alone in his room one morning laying this matter before the Lord, perhaps more earnestly than ever before, and when on his knees he seemed to hear a voice saying: 'Write My Word for My people who understand it not." This was twice repeated. He looked round, still on his knees, to s«fe whence the voice came, and wondering wha* it meant. After a little while, he rose from his knees, and, opening the Bible, without knowing at which part, asked God to give him a message from that particular page. Looking at the place at which hia finger was, he bsgan to read: "And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it." That was the com mand to Mr. Bergmann. Without hesl tation, he accepted the commission, and that very morning' the work of translation was commenced. TIBETAN LAMA'S PRAYER. Heart-Felt Petition Which Would Grace the Lips of the Oldest Christian. The Eastern Himalayan "Mission News" gives a translation of a prayer written by a Tibetan lama who has been under Christian instruction for three months. He wrote the prayer spontaneously, and asked if this form of prayer would be suitable to offer to God: "O thou lion-ilke refuge of men. present and future shepherd-like Saviour Jesus, at thy feet I pray. From my sinful and hell-going way, give the blessing of forgiveness now. I believingly beseech thee with all my heart. May I see thy face in the heavenly palace. For eternal life 1 pray. Change the heart and grant forgiveness to believer. There is no salvation from hell. Forgiven sin means that the Saviour shall be seen face to face, his voice heard, and eternal life obtained. Glory be to the name of Jesus. Amen." Need of Public Libraries in China. In the whole empire of China there is not what could properly be called a public library.

When the conductor asked for tickets the crazy man began telling of hta hypnotic powers. "I'll hypnotize you," he said. "Fire away," replied the conductor. The man made several passes before the conductor's face. "Now you are hypnotized," he said. The conductor looked the part as best he could. "You're a conductor," the hypnotist said. "That's right," replied his victim. "You're n good conductor," went on the hypnotist. "Bight again," said the conductor. "You don't smoke, drink or swear at passengers. You are honest You turn in all tfckets and money you collect from passengers. In fact, you do not Steal a cent." "That's right," assented the conductor.

TK* End of Her Visit Hy Viofef £f>/v« Mitchell (Copyright.) "Phoebe! ain't It about time we had mother here on a vlittT"' Mrs. Penny paused In her wanning and looked back at him over her ghoulier, timidly. "I auppoae if 1». Josiah," she spoke hesitatingly, and her face clouded. "If you say the word I'll send her an Invitation at once." Mr. Penny was driving a nail into one, of the kitchen chairs which had for some time needed repairing. " T seema to rae, Phoebe," said he, ' a s if there never was time when it's real convenient for mother to coine." Mrs. Penny sighed. "I know it, Josh," Bhe replied; "I've been awful mean about tbat visit, but aoon's* the milk's attended to I'll set right down and ask her to come; and—and—I'll give her the best room and goffer the piller cases a purpose. I can't do no more?" "No," Mr. Penny stammered, run< ning his fingers through his long, reddish hair in a dazed kind of way. 'Mother's a little peculiar, likes powerful well to have her own way. You'll humor her, Phoebe?" Mrs. Penny was hidden from sight behind the door as she answered, "Yes, Josh." Josiah, with his hands buried deep in his pockets, went slowly down the lane leading to the bain. Phoebe watched him, shading her eyes with one hand from the setting suu, and then reentering the house began to prepare their early supper. A knock at the door caused her to start, and, as if caught in a sin, she wiped away from her pushed cheeks the^ last traces of tears, then called out cheerfully: "Come in!" "Why, Mrs. Wlgger!" exclaimed she, brightening as the door opened to admit an elderly woman. Her shrewd black eyes were full of keen Intelligence. "If I ain't glad to see you!" cried Phoebe. "A talk with you always chirks me up when I'm blue. It seems to me as if you was a kind of mother to me." o "What 'pears to be the matter with you, my dear?" Mrs. Penny hesitated. ' "Mother's comin' to pay us a visit," said she at last, a little irrelevantly, as it might appear. "You don t mean Josiah's mother, ol*> Mis' Penny?" "Yes, I do," replied Phoebe limply. The elder woman relaxed lier hold on the arms of the chair and, throwing her head back against the padded pillow, began to rock violently^ "My lands!" she exclaimed. "You let me know when she's gone home, and I'll come along and take up what's left of you on a dustpan. I know Ann tiliza Penny well; there ain't one thing about her I ain't pizen well acquainted with, and she's one of the cantankerlngest, iaterferingest, all 'round, aHfireddest old woman I tver—" "Hush!" exclaimed Phoebe, with her finger on her lips. The sound of her husband's approaching footsteps upon. the gravel path had reached her ears. Mrs. Wigger made a long visit. She took tea^with Mr. Penny and his wife, but no further opportunity for confidential talk occurred between the two women until, as she bade Phoebe Kood-night at the door, she managed, in squeezing her hand, to whisper: "I dun no as you'll set any great store by my telttn' you of It, Phoebe, but caraway seeds in cake always brings on a sick spell in Mis' Penny. I know it, because I've heard her say them was the only times she ever had a bilious attack, and when she had one of them 8110¾ Very partik'lar about betn' home." eyes meditatively on a little closet, the door of which stood invitingly open, revealing shell after shelf of neatly arranged dlahea and glass jars containing preserves. She arose, and walking to it, stood for some time examining the labels on the jars, finally pausing with her hand on one which was marked "Caraway seeds." Taking It down with a hauf smile on her lips, she glanced over her shoulder |*through the door into the next reom. Then crossing the floor she noiselessly closed it, and after rolling up her sleeves opened all the draughts la the atove. When Josiah came in to ask his wife for a pair of scissors about an hour later, he was surprised to hear her voice singing, while with deft fingers she was taking from the oven a beautifully browned cake. That night at supper Josiah lifted the snowy cover of the old-fashioned silver cake-basket and pushed It toward his mother. Pride shone In his eye. "I'll bet a cent there ain't a woman In the country can beat that," he ex- It was the end of the second week of Mrs. Penny's visit, and the effects Of It were already visible upon the face of her daughter-in-law, -whose worst fears were verified. Things might easily have been better, but they could not have been much worse without an open declaration of war between the two women. ' Ungracious in manner, angular in appearance, she sat bolt upright in the cane rocker from early morning till bedtime, criticising and Interfering with Phoebe, or nagging at Josiah, who was showing a wonderful agility in disappearing immediately after meals. On this particular^ morning Mrs. Penny had tasted everything on the neatly-spread breakfast table with aggressive disapproval. The old wo^man took up her knitting and sat down by the dining room window. Phoebe saw that she was comfortably settled, then left the room, carrying with her a pilo of heavy dishes. Th£ tears trickled through Phoebe's fingers and dropped I". •r' tiny •alt feUt on the t i t t h e n (able. Sad- 4t*Jy eae looked up and fixed her "I Want You to Hitch Right Up, Josiah." claimed; then, less assuredly, "less it's yourself, mother." The old lady straightened her glasses and lifted out a piece of the temptingly browned delicacy. "Caraway seed!" she cried suspiciously; "I've my doubts about eatin'*1 it. These rich cakes used to make me sicker'n a dog, especially when the butter ain't sweet and the seeds la from a man who don't know 'em from hen corn." Phoebe smiled. She seemed to have regained her usual sweet temper. "I'll guarantee the butter," she said, "and as to the seeds, the man I bought them from is pretty good ways from a fool. How does it taste, mother?" "Fair to raiddlin'," grunted Mrs. Penny. "I've tasted worse and I've et better. You young folks put In too much shortenin'. Give me another piece, Josiah. 8orne one must eat it up or you'll be feedin' it to the pigs." Wben breakfast was ready next morning Josiah and Phoebe were much surprised to see his mother enter the room dressed for a journey, and her head crowned by a funereal looking black bonnet. "I want you to hitch right up, Josiah," she exclaimed, turning her back on the table and throwing herself In the cane rocker. "I ain't feelin' well this mornin', and I think there's one of them sick spells of mine comin' on. I I" ain't got my bottle of 'Baasett'i ftfl* ture' with me. *I guess r i l go home." "We vwtiA M B 4 for th* boWle," t*g geBted her ton weakly. ' "No, I guess not," insisted Mrs. Penny. "I'll be better at- home. I think llke'e not 'twas that heavy seed cake set on my stunwaick." Phoebe hid her face behind the coffee- pot, but said nothing. As the tip of the funereal bonnet worn by the old woman disappeared over the hill which lay between the house and the main road, Mrs. Wigger'a qualutly gowned figure made Its appearance at the gate. Phoebe, Pressed in a blue-and-white gingham, stood in the e>pen door. She was shading her eyes with her hand, and her face was wreathed in smiles. "Who's that Josiah's drivin' off in the buggy?" asked the vilstor, sitting down on the lower step of the back piazza, and moving violently to and fro the palm-leaf fan she carried. "It's mother-in-law," replied the girl. She looked mischievously at the old lady, and added: "She's got a sick spell." The piercing black eyes of the elder woman wer« turned full on Phoebe's face. "Cake?" she asked, tersely. Mrs. Penny nodded. "H'm!" exclaimed Mrs. Wlgger, in telligently. "Well, I'm right glad yon done it." She shook all over with suppressed laughter. As Josiah returned, after a long and dusty ride, to his home, he met Mrs. Wigger leaving the house. She stopped and, holding out a black-mittened hand, remarked: "It's a drefful pity wour mother had to go home right in the middle of her visit." Josiah looked quizzically at his wife and, giving a nervous hitch to his trousers, stammered: "Yes, yest; so 'tis a drefful pity." Then, as he walked into the cheery kitchen and the appetizing odor of freshly-made gingerbread greeted his nostrils, he expanded his chest and drew a long breath. "What's the matter, Josiah?" asked Phoebe, smiling at him from behind a large dish of potatoes that she was placing upon the table. "My lands!" ejaculated Mr. Penny, "the Lord knows, I've got more a p a - tite for a meal of victuals than I've had for two weeks." Vegetable Horsehair. Not long ago the farmers and cultivators in Algeria often went to considerable expense to destroy the dwarf palms which abound In that part of Africa. Now, thanks to the constant progress of practical science, these same once despised plants have become a source of wealth and are consequently cultivated in their turn. Their leaves furnish fibers from which, by very simple processes, is produced a substitute for horsehair in the manufacture of mattresses and of the filling for cushions, chairs and so forth. Other plants likewise fur nish fibers which are utilized for a similar purpose, but the African dwarf palm at present holds the lead In this industry.—Youth's Companion.

On, the eve of the unveiling the municipal council, presided over by the mayor, repaired to the foot of the statue to examine and see IX it should be accepted. "Are you not going to tear off this green mold?" asked the mayor of the sculptor. "But, monsieur," replied the sculptor, "that is verdigris." "Verdigris! Verdigris!" sal* the mayor. "I understand that; very well, ^arbleu! I know that this is verdigris; but it is dirty. if I had a kitchen outfit of that color I would have it scoured. That must be cleaned up. You'll have to make that shine." "But, monsieur—" At that moment a member of the. council having struck the body of the bronze horse with hia cane, they all cried out: "This sounds hollow!" "Your bronze ia hellow, monsieur," said the mayor. The unhappy sculptor then took great pains to explain that all bronze statues were hollow. The mayor maintained an air of defiant incredulity, and as he passed around the monument said: "It appears to me you have hardly detailed the hair in the tr.IL" This was too much for the sculptor. "I wished," he said, "to screw natural hair Into his tall like the hair uaed in children's hobby horses.

"The latest sensation in Seoul is that measures are being taken to find a consort for the prince imperial; although he is only 11 years of age. There is talk of the daughter of the present prime minister, but whether that Is by the desire of the prime minister himself or at the suggestion of Lady Om seems to be uncertain." Ail Help to Build Church. At Marlpit Hill, near Edenbridge, England, a new mission church is being constructed on remarkably economical lines. Ladles dug out the foundations, and the villagers are devoting their spare time to the work of building, the gerater part of the materials being the gift of friend* MORRO CASTLE AT HAVANA A Deserted Village. The site of the erstwhile flourishing village of Brendan is represented by a few gaunt stone chimneys, a stray cluster of roofless cottages, a dilapidated Dissenting chapel, a ghostly railway station and one fair-sized shop, which serves the needs of the scattered community living on the Brendqn Hills, says H. O. Archer, In t,h*i Wide World Magazine. But for many years the deserted village was left just as it was when the miners occupied It, and as such presented an extraordinary sight—silent, grass grown streets of closed houses, shops, inns and places of worship. It was only comparatively recently that the buildings were razed and the materials of which they were composod sold and carried away. To-day the most tangible relic is found at the junction of the roads just outside the village—a quaint, square, plain building, ove"r the porched entrance to which is the v»ord "Beulah," and the date of erection, 1861. This is one of the little chapels built for the miners. No attempt has been made to preserve it from decay, and not so long ago the pedestrians could stroll in and find the sunlight streaming through the translucent windows and their borders of colored glass, making the interior grotesquely gay. The pulpit and pews then remained, and many of the cards affixed to the book-rests and Inscribed with the seat-holders' names were yet to be seen. A Handy Orate.

A school of big flsh swam up Novae bay, near Sag Harbor, L. I., last week and investigated the antics of some bigger fish of a variety unknown to them, which were cutting straight lines from a torpedo boat to a bull'seye target out in the bay. They learned that the strange-looking fish were not sharks and that they swam much faster than anything the big ?ish ever saw before. When they got in front of one of the queer flsh It cut straight through them and left many mangled big flBh to float ashore and tell the story. This explained why one of the torpedoes v/as, observed zigzagging curiously before It struck the target.

The interest that Weetern Canada has aroused for some years past Is growing In intensity. The. condition! of the crop of 1997 are such that results can be spoken of with some de* gree of certainty. The yielS of grata will be about 80,000,000 bushels and the price the farmers wlli.realize for it will be upwards of seventy mlUia* dollars. The oat crop wag foe* a* most places, and the crop o# will be very remunerative, know of the generally una* conditions during t h e Beeding, growing and rjpenlng period In the United States during the past season, will look with righteous distrust on any statement Intended to give the impression that Western Canada conditions were so much different. Generally, they were not, but the conditions of a highly recuperative soil, long and continuous sunshine, are conditions possessed by Western Canada and not possessed by any other country on the Continent. This is why it is possible to record today a fairly successful crop, when in most other places the opposite is the case. The yield in all grams is less than last year, but the higher prices obtained more than offset any falling off In the yield. Take for instance the Province of Saskatchewan the wheat crop will be worth $21,13&,OO0. Last year the same crop was 35 per cent, larger and the quality better. The yield was worth $24,000,000. Oats and barley are very important factors in all three central Provinces. -At Gladstone, H*JV itoba, returns from one farm were* P R per acre from the wheat land, $3|.' acre from oats, and S30 per acre barley. The yield of wheat at Dauphin, Manitoba, was 20 to 24 bushels to the acre but not of a very good grade, but the yield of barley in that section was good and so was the quality and price. At Meadow Lea, Manitoba, 16 to 20 bushels to the acre were thrashed, bringing a round dollar on the market. At Oak Lake, Manitoba, on some fields where 21 bushels were expected, twelvo and fifteen Was the result; others again where twenty was looked for gave twenty-two to twenty, five. One special patch south of town on J. M. McFarlane's farm went as high as thirty bushels to the acre. At Sheho, Saskatchewan, oats yielded from 60 to 65 bushels to the acre. Sam Wunder threshed 2,500 bushels from forty acres. The sample is good and weighs well. At Lloydmlnster, Saskatchewan, W. Bibby threshed 97 bushels of oats to the acre, and two others were but little behind. Wheat here reached 35 bushels. At Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, from a quarter section all in crop, Alex. McKlnhon of Ingleside threshed an average of 33 bushels No. 1 Northern. I. J. Grant had 190 acres, yielding «,000 bushels of the same grade. These illustrations taken from widely distant districts (and thousands of others could be produced) show that the year 1907 has not felt the serious effects from severe winter, late spring, or unfavorable conditions during the growing season that might have been antitcpated.

Man is the only animal tfcgt sleep* on ita back, says the New Xprk Pra*». Many fuUninla sleep on their aide*, bat moat sleep prone—that la, face ttrwa. Doss nerer dream when prone, but Invariably do so when sleeping ** their aide. All of ua from the Jflffntry have seen Bung, the hound, eefeelag rabbits in his sleep. An ani- 31 would be perfectly helpless if it pt en its back. And so is helpleM in that position. If some other fellow wants a fortune let him invent a yillow tiiat will allow a<»an or woman of child to sleep face down without having to twist the neck nearly out of joint. We still style it the "back-up cure" and introduce it la all homes. There is no excuse for lying en the back and keeping the sptne hot all night, while the front of the body—the abdomen, the stomach, the chest, the throat, etc.—is allowed to become chilled. A hot spine is a disease generator. And, on the other ( hand, a cold spine is death. Snoring is an infernal nuisance to every one except the snorer. People who sleep on their fronts never snore. Those who sleep on their backs invariably do. The palate as we know it is the roof of the mouth and the floor of the nose. Some style it the hard palate. Back near the throat is the soft palate. When you sleep on yo»r back this gets down about the breathing apparatus and you snore. Some'snores are worse than the midnight bowl of a hyena. Never marry a Woman that snores. Ask her before Jjtu propose if she is addicted to snor is%, and if she says "yea" avoid iter. It is much easier to relax when sleeping on your front than when sleeping on your back. And what we all need after touching the bed at night is relaxation. It is a billion pities that seme scientist cannot teach the art of relaxing. Our strenuous life, of course, is not blameless iu this matter. We go to bed in excitement, and the nerves are strung all night. That is to say, we go to bed in full tune, liko a piano, and cannot possibly let the strings down. Therefore we do not rest. Could we relax we could eleep four or five hours and arise refreshed; but as we cannot relax, we groan and dream and sweat and roll over and have remorse for eight or nine hours, and get up with a swelled head. Every man and woman iu this country was brought up with the notion that it the feet were higher than the head in sleeping all the blood would rush to the hetfd and cause strangulation. This is the veriest rot. Advanced physicians now advocate the. elevated feet for the cure of insomnia. Hang your legs over the footboard, get rid of your pillow, and go to sleep like an iiffant. You are on your feet all day and half the night. Stand on your head the rest of the night and let the blood circulate the other way. Maybe your brain needs it. Famous Collector of Animals. W. T. Hornaday, collector of animals, was the originator of the zoological gardens at. Washington, and is now director of affairs at the New York zoo. -5>rof. Hornaday is primarily responsible for the change in museum methods that enables one now to see a bird or animal as it actually appeared in life and with something of its natural surroundings, instead of rows of stuffed birds in glass cases. He has been sent to all parts of the world, collecting, and has written a book of his adventures in the jungle. Aside from the subject of animals, his one hobby is temperance.

Samuel Shadwell, a touchy old man living in an Indiana village, had a pane of glass broken in his house one night not long ago and next day he, had a ten-year-old girl named Minnie Dayton arrested for it. When the case was called in court he was asked how he knew It was Minnie. He admitted that he didn't see her, but heard her giggle. When asked if her giggle was different from that of any other girl he said it was, but he couldn't tell why. Neither could he imitate the giggle, and he lost his case. We all know what a girl's giggle is, but if any of us were askod to give an imitation of it we'd probably fail. A boy may titter, but when it comes to giggling only a girl can do that. Ambiguous. A Washington correspondent who used to run a newspaper in Iowa tells how the heavy advertiser of the town once entered the editorial offices and, with nnger and disgust depicted in every line of his face, exclaimed: '•That's a fine break you people have made in my ad. this week!" "What's the trouble?" asked the editor, in a tone calculated to mollify the indignant one. "Read it and see!" commanded the advertiser, thrusting a copy of the paper inJhe editor's face. The latTer read: "If you want to have a fit wear blank's shoes."— Harper's Weekly. French Police a Surprise. "Well, how did you enjoy yourself in Paris?" they asked of Mrs. Maloney when she got home.

A woman in Ohio says: "I was troubled for years with indigestion and chronic constipation. At times I would have such a gnawing in my stomach that I actually feared I had a—I dislike to write or even think of what I feared. "Seeing an account of Grape-Nuts I decided to try it. After a short time I was satisfied the trouble was not the awful thing I feared but was still bad enough. However, I was relieved of a bad case of dyspepsia by changing from improper food to Grape-Nuts. "Since that time my bowels have been as regular as a clock. I had also noticed before I began to eat Grape- Nuts that I was becoming forgetful of where I put little things about the house, which was very annoying. "But since tho digestive organs have become strong from eating Grape- Nuts, my memory is good and my mind as clear as when I was young, and I am thankful."

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the conquering of -woman's dread enemy Tumor. The growth of a tumor is so insidious that frequently its presence is wholly unsuspected until it i s well advanced. So called "wandering pains" may come from i t s early stages or the presence of danger may be made manifest by excessive monthly periods accompanied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thigh. If you have mysterious pains, if there Ire indications of inflammation or displacements, secure a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, right away aud begin its use. The following letters should convince every suffering woman of its virtue, and that It actually does conquer tumors. Mrs. May Fry, of 836 W. Colfax Ave., South Rend, Ind., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — "I take great pleasure in writing to thank you for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I also took the Blood Purifier in alternate doses with the Compound. Your medicine removed a cyst turner of four years' growth, which three of the best physicians declared I had. They had eaid that only an operation could help me. I am very thankful that I followed a friend's advice and took your medicine. It has made me a strong and well woman and I so.all recommend it as long as I irve." Mrs. E. F. Hayes, of 26 Ruggles S t , Boston, Mass., writes: "I have been under different doctors' treatment for a long time without relief. They told me I had a fibroid tumor, my abdomen was swollen and I suffered with great pain. 1 wrote to you for advice, you replied and I followed your directions carefully and to-day I am a well woman. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system." Mrs. S. J. Barber, of Scott, N. Y., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — "Sometime ago I wrote you for advice about a tumor which the doctors thought would have to be removed. Instead I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and to-day am a well woman." Mrs. M. M. Funk, Vandergrift, Pa., writes: Dear MrB. Pinkham: — "I had a tumor end Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound removed it for me after two doctors had given me up. I was sick four years before I began to take the Compound. I now recommemd Lydia E. Pjnkham's Vegetable Compound far and near." Such testimony as above is convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for Tumor Growths as well as other distressing ills of women, and such symptoms an Rearing-down Sensations, Displacements. Irregularities and Backache, ietc. Women should remember that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that Is curing so many women. Don't forget to insist upon it when some druggist asks you to accept something else which he calls "just as good." W . Li IIO UGLAS $3.00 & $3.50 SHOES " * T " SHOES FOR EVERY MEMBER OF T H E FAMILY.

People nowadays tlo not regard tbe comet as one of those signs that forerun the death or fall of kings, but the superstition was still current In the time of Queen Elizabeth, though, to the amazement of her courtiers, the queen calmly scorned It. It was also thought that if the sovereign would refrain from looking at the malignant celestial paflM*o£no harm would come to her. On one o^asloii Elizabeth's attendants shut and curtulned her windows, but her majesty, an might have been expected, with "a courage answerable to the greatness of her estate," caused them to t>e opened, crying ns she looked up: *'Jacta est alea— the die Is cast!" Then, like King Knut on the seashore, she read her people a homily, asserting that her "steaflfast hope and confidence were too firmly planted in the providence of God to be blasted or affrighted with those l>eams which either had no ground In nature whereupon to rise or at least no warrant In Scripture to portend the mishaps of princes."

There every one carries a supply of them in ! a neat little Ivory box, not unlike the I snuffboxes of our ancestors. The betel i nut Is a narcotic, in Its effects not unlike tobacco, but It is much more harmful. Those who chew it suffer from Inflamed gums, and they generally lose their teeth. The betel 1¾ a species of climbing plant, with a leaf not unlike ivy. It yields a crop of nuts, which are ground to a powder.

NOT TIME FOR TARIFF Postponement of Discussion of Revision of Schedules Until After Presidential Election Urged — N e - c«*sUy for Improving Waterways of th« Country. Washington, Dec. 3.-President Roosevelt in iila annual mea&agt* deala vigorously with matters of national importance, iteferring to the recent disturbance in financial clreleB he points out that tho hoarding of money by the people, Instead of keeping it in sound banks, wa» the first cause of financial stringency and a grave error. He pays a trlbuty to the general honesty of the men engaged In the banking business. After quotations from his laat annual message which dealt with the necessity of governmental regulations, the president asserts that his views have in no way changed and declares U is the duty of the national government to embody tn action the principles lie then expressed. Disclaiming any idea of advocating centralization the president Insists upon the necessity for federal control of the railroads of the country through the interstate commerce commission, and also urge* legislation looking to the proper control of the great business concerns engaged in interstate business, this control to be «K»rci««d for their own benefit and P*o«P«rlty BO 1«M than for the protection of Investors and of the general public. W r a t a Federal Control. Declaring t h a t modern industrial conditions are sm-h that combination is not •>nly iiccesjiary but Inevitable, tho preslient refers to his message of a year ago concerning necessary changes In the antitrust laws, He goes on: "I ask for full power to be given the federal government, because no single state •an by legislation effectually cope with these powerful corporations engaged In Interstate commerce, and, while Jning them full Justice, exact from them in m t u m full justice to others. The conlitions of railroad activity, the conditions of our imnieiihe interstate commerce, are such na to make the central ton eminent alono competent to exercise full mptrvisioti and control. "The antitrust law should he made both more cflhient and more in harmony with Actual conditions. It should he HO amendd an h> forbid only the kind of comhlnufion which doe.-* harm to the Kenerril public, such amendment to he accompanied by, or to he an Incident of, a Krant of sirper. i-.HI y pnwer to the government over these big corporations engaged tn interstate htn-ine:;s. Tills should be accompanied by provision for the compulsory publication of accounts and the .subjection of hooks nnd papers to the inspection of the government offleials. A beginning lifts Mrendy been made for such supervision by the establishment of the bureau of corporations. "An.on? tl-.e points to he aimed at •hou!I be the prohibition of unhealthy competition, such as by rendering service fit an actual loss for the purpose of crushing out competition, the prevention of Inflation of capital, and the prohibition of a corporation's making exclusive trade with itself a condition of having any trade with Itself. Reasonable agreements between, or combinations of, corporations chould be permitted, provided they a r e first submitted to nnd approved by some appropriate government body. i.tkr- \ m i n i m i B a n k Supervision. "The congress has the power to charter corporations to engage In interstate and foreign enmmeree, and a general law can be enacted under the provisions of whirh existing corporations could take out federal charters and new federal corporation* cnu]d be created. An essential provision of mieh a law should be a method of predetermining by some federal board or commission whether the applicant, for a federal charter was an association or combination within the restrictions of the. federal law. The supervision established might be analogous to that now exercised over national banks. At least, the antitrust act' should he supplemented by specific prohibitions of the methods which experience has shown have h«-rn of most service in enabling monopolistic combinations to crush out competition. The real owners of a corporation should he compelled to do business in their own name. The right to hold stock in other corporatkMlfl should hereafter be denied to interstate corporations, unless on approval by the proper government officials, and a prerequisite to such approval should be the listing with the government of all owners and stockholders, both by the corporation owning such the corporation in which OwriPd." After calling attention which the legislation he confer upon the country, says: "Those who fenr, Kon. the extension of federal activity will do well to study the history not only of the national hanking act, but of the purefood law. and notably the meat inspection law recently enacted.

' Qff'jjt* rruestion of the currency ¾resident calls attention to his last lial message wherein he .pointed that our present system is ilefeetive showing the need of a rhangp. In mensage he puid: "Natloaal banks shooM bn permitted to hwue a specified proportion of their cap- SVNOPS19 t h e the this stock such and stock bv Is to the benefits urges would the president from any reat h e anont and that ltal in notes of a given kind, the issue to be taxed a t so high a rate as to drive the notea back when not wanted in legitimate trude. This plan would not permit the issue of currency to give banku additional pruHt», but to>mceL Ihu t-incrgency presented by times of stringency. I do not say that thla is the right system. 1 only udvance it to emphasize my belief thut there itf need for the adoption of tiumv. system which shall be automatic and open to a41 sound banks, so as to uvold all possibility of discrimination and favoritism. Such a plan would tend tu prevent the spaums of high money and bpeculutlon which now obtain in the New York market; for at present there is too much currency at certain ueatjomj of <h« year, and ltu accumulation at New Yurk tempts bankers to lend it a t low rates for opoculative purposes; whereas at other timea when the crops a r e being moved there 1» urgent need for a large but temporary increase in the currency supply. It must never be forgotten that this question concerns business men generally quite au much as bankers; especially la this true of atockmen, farmers and business men in the west; for at present a t certain seasons of the year the diffetence in interest rates between the east and west is from six to ten per cent., whereas in Canada the corresponding difference is but two per cent. Any plan must, of course, guard the interests of western and southern bankers as carefully as It guards the interests of New York or Chicago bankers, and must be drawn from the standpoints of the fanner and the merchant nu less than from the standpoints of the city bunker and country banker." R e p e a t s HCCUIUUIOQIIHIIOU*. The president continues: "I a g a i n u r g e on the c o n g r e s s need of i m m e d i a t e a t t e n t i o n to matter. We need a g r e a t e r elasticity in our c u r r e n c y ; provided, of course, tha't w e recognize t h e even g r e a t e r need of a safe a n d secure currency. T h e r e m u s t a l w a y s be t h e most rigid examination by t h e national a u t h o r i - ties. Provision should be made for a n emergency currency. The e m e r g e n c y issue .should, of course, be made w i t h an effective g u a r a n t y , and^upon conditions carefully prescribed by t h e government. Such emergency issue must be based on adequate securities a p - prover! by the government, a n d must be issued under a heavy tax. This would p e r m i t currency being issued when t h e demand' for it w a s urgent, while s e c u r i n g its r e t i r e m e n t a s the demand fell off. It is w o r t h investig a t i n g to d e t e r m i n e w l a t h e r officers and directors of national b a n k s should ever be allowed to Joan to themselves. T r u s t companies u hou hi be suoject to t h e s a m e supervision a.a bank*; legislation to this effect should he <. n.u i.ed for the District of Columbia and t h e territories." TXot T i m e for Tariff Din CM a* ion. On the subject of the tariff the president declares himself in favor of postponing all consideration of the questlon until after the presidential election. He say:;: "The income account of the nation 1» in a most satisfactory condition. For the six fiscal years ending with tho first of July last, the total expenditures and revenues of the national government, exclusive of the postal revenues and exi>enditures, were in round numbers, revenues, $3,403,0^,(10((, and expenditures. $3,::73,000. The net excess of income over e\p ndlturea, including in the latter the fifty millions expended for the Panama canal, was fl'ie,1)00,000 for th<* six year-*, an average of about $:J1,(IOO,(H«) a year. This represents an approximation between inionic and outgo which it would lie hard to improve. The satisfactory working of Hie present tariff law has been chiefly responsible for tliis excellent .-,bowing. Nevertheless, there is an evident and constantly growing feeling among our people that the time is rapidly approaching when our system of revenue h--r slatlon must be revised. "This country is definitely to the protective system and to uproot it could not but c spread industrial <li;;;ist< r, words, the principle of tue prese; iff law could not with wisd >: changed. Hut in a country of phenomena] g r o w t h as ours it is probably well t h a t every iluzi n years or so the tariff laws should he c a n fully scrutinized so as to is c that no excessive or improper benefits a r e conferred thereby, t h a t proper revenue, is provided, and that our foreign t r a d e is encouraged. There must alivays be a is a minimum a tariff which will not only allow for the collection of a n ample revenue b u t which will at b a s t m a k e good t h e difference in cost of production here and abroad; t h a t s. the difference in t h e labor cost here and abroad, for the well-being of t h e w a g e - w o r k e r m u s t ever he a cardinal point of American policy. The sole consideration should be to see t h a t t h e s u m total of c h a n g e s represent tho public good. This means t h a t the subject can not with wisdom be dealt with in the year p r e c e d i n g a presidential election, because as a. m a t t e r of fact experience has conclusively shown that a t such a time it is impossible to get m m to t r e a t it. from the standpoint of the public good. Tn my j u d g m e n t t h e wise time to deal with the m a t t e r is immediately after such election." Income nnd I n h r r i t n n r c T a x . There h a s been no c h a n g e in mind of the president concerning advisability of an income tax and inheritance tax. Tn the message s a y s : "When our tax t a w s arc revised question of an Income tax and an heritance t a x should receive t h e careful a t t e n t i o n of our legislators. In my J u d g m e n t both of these taxes should be part of our system of federal taxation. T speak diffidently about the income tax because one scheme for an income tax was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court; while in addition it is a difficult t a x to administer in its practical w o r k i n g . Nevertheless, a g r a d - uated income tax of the proper type would be a desirable feature of federal taxation, and it is to be hoped t h a t one may be devised which the s u p r e m e court will declare constitutional. The i n h e r i t a n c e tax, however, is both a far better method ol* taxation, and far more important for the purpose of having the f n r t u m s of the country bear in proportion to their Increase in size a corresponding increase and burden o»" i.vxation. Tile governnn nt has the a b - solute right to decide as to the terms upon which a man shall receive the bequest or devise from another, and this point In t h e devolution of p r o p e r t y I. especially a p p r o p r i a t e for t h e imposition of a tax.'' Due Knforceiaent of l.rm. On t h e m a t t e r ot the impartial t n - committed any effort wideother ! t a I ' - ll h e s u c h U S i In the the an he the inforcement of t h e l a w s t h e message says: "A few y e a r s a g o there w a s loud complaint t h a t t h e law could not be Invoked a g a i n s t wealthy offenders. There is no such complaint now. T h e course of the d e p a r t m e n t of justice d u r i n g the last few y e a r s h a s been such a s to m a k e it evident t h a t no m a n s t a n d s above the law, t h a t no c o r p o r a t i o n is so wealthy t h a t It cannot b* held to account. E v e r y t h i p g t h a t can be done under t h e e x i s t i n g law, a n d with t h e existing s t a t e of public opinion, which so profoundly influences both the c o u r t s and juries, has been done. But t h e laws themselves need s t r e n g t h e n - ing tn more t h a n one i m p o r t a n t point; they should be made more definite, so t h a t no honest m a n can be led u n w i t - tingly to b r e a k them, a n d so t h a t t h e real w r o n g d o e r can be readily punished. "The t w o g r e a t evils in t h e execution of our criminal laws to-day a r e sentimentally a n d technically. F o r t h e latter the remedy must come from the hands of t h e legislatures, t h e counts and the l a w y e r s .

LSoth of these Anvils m u s t be removed or public discontent w i t h the criminal law will continue." L'se of Injunctions. Iteferring to the question of the use and abuse of injunctions the president declares: "Instances of abuse in the granting of injunctions in labor disputes continue to occur, and the reseutrnent In the minds of those who feel that their rights are being invaded and their liberty of action and of speech unwarrantably restrained continues to grow. Much of the attack on the use of the process of Injunction is wholly without warrant; but I am constrained to express the belief that tow some of it there is warrant. This Question is becoming more and more of prime importance, and unless the courts will themselves deal with it in effective manner, it Is certain ultimately to demand some sort of legislative action. I earnestly commend to the attention of the congress tliis matter, so that some way maybe devised which will limit the abuse of injunctions and protect those rights which from time to time it unwarrantably invades." Among the recommendations made in the message are for federal inspection of railroads, the establishment of an employers' liability act, and for the extension of the present eight-hour law by the government. In I n d u s t r i a l Dinputea. The president favors compulsory investigation by the national government of industrial disputes, saying: "Strikes arid lockouts, with their attendant loss and suffering, continue to increase. For the five years ending December 31, 1¾½. the number of strikes was greater than those In any previous ten years and was double the number in tho preceding live years. These figures indicate the increasing need of providing some machinery to deal with this class of disturbances in' the interest alike of the employer, the employe and the general public. I renew my previous recommendation that the congress favorably consider the mutter of creating the machinery for compulsory investigation of such industrial controversies as are of sufficient magnitude and of sufficient concern to the people of the country as a whole to warrant the federal government in taking action." The recent strike of the telegraphers is cited as an instance where such power might profitably have been used. ( hild Labor Kvil. The necessity of eiiecking the evil of child labor is pointed out with much directness. On the relation between capital and labor the president asserts that public opinion must be aroused in condemnation of evil practices on both shies, The work of the department of agriculture Is given high praiac- and the importance of the department pointed out. Cooperation with farmers' associations is urged. The necessity of a national system of inspection and grading of grain, to correct evils complained of, is also pointed out. National W a t e r Illnhvvnyx. Showing the necessity for the development of the national water highways the message says: "Our great river systems should he developed as national water highways; the Mississippi, with its tributaries, standing first in importance, and the Columbia second, although there are many others of Importance on the Pacific, tho Atlantic and the gulf slopes. The national government should undertake this work, and I hope a beginning will be made in th^ present congress; aiml the greatest of all our rivers, the Mississippi, should receive especial attention. Prom the great lakes to the mouth of the Mississippi there should be a deep waterway, with deep waterways loading from it to the east and west. Such a waterway would practically mean the extension of our coast line into the very heart of our country. It would be of incalculable benefit to our people. "As an incident to creating the deep waterway down the Mississippi, the government should build along its whole lower length levees which, taken together with the control of the headwaters, will at once .and forever put a complete stop to all threat of floods in the immensely fertile Delta region. The territory lying adjacent to the Mississippi along its lower course will thereby become one of the most prosperous and populous, as it. already is one of the most fertile, farming regions In all the world." "I have appointed an inland waterways commission to study and outline a comprehensive scheme of development along all the lines indicated. loiter T shall lavits report before the congress." I'uhllr l*an<U. Kxtension of the work of Irrigation and the reclamation of waste lands Is advocated, together with a revision of the present land laws in the Interest of the actual home-maker. The unlawful fencing of public lands for private grazing, the president says, must be stopped, but it. the same time the necessity which occasioned it must be provided for. Several plans arc recommended. Conservatism of the mineral wealth of be country, ami t)>e neces.-nty for the ; orest-rvatlon of the forests to prevent a | limber famine, are dwelt upon. Drastic I a Hon by the congress is urged. > Would HeiH-nl IJntj en «o»;il I'nlp. ; The president declares in favor of the » r.-pcnl of 1he doty on wood pulp, at the .iu:e tiu'c d c i a r l m ; f';..'t it should if p .ssible be ,u i eiopanic i bv an ogreeie.i": t .vltli iV.u.ulu thai there sh a i d bo no e\- ;• a*! duty on Can.eli.in pulp wood.

On the uuet-lions of postal aaviugs banks and tho establishment of a parcels post system the message says: "I commend to the favorable consideration of the congress a postal savings bank system us recommended by tiie postmaster general. "I further commend to the congress the consideration of the postmaster general's recommendation, for an exb-nslon of the parcel post, especially on the rural routes. These recommendations have jeen drawn up to benefit the farmer and the country storekeeper; otherwise 1 should not favor them, for ] believe that it is good policy tor our government to do everything possible to aid the small town and the country district. It is desirable thut the country merchant should not be crushed out." Some form of local s e l f - g o v e r n m e n t fur A l a s k a is asked of t h e congress. and t h a t t h e r i g h t s of citizenship be conferred upon the people of P o r t o Alco. Cauipalsn Contribution---. The president s a y s : "It is well to provide t h a t corporations shall not cont r i b u t e to presidential or n a t i o n a l c a m - paigns, and f u r t h e r m o r e to provide for the p u l i i c t a i o n of both c o n t r i b u t i o n s and expenditures. The need for collecting large campaign funds would vanish if c o n g r e s s provided an a p p r o - priation for t h e proper a n d l e g i t i m a t e expenses of each of the g r e a t national parties, a n a p p r o p r i a t i o n a m p l e enough to nieil t h e necessity for t h o r o u g h organization and machinery, which r e - iiuires a l a r g e expenditure of money.

The extension of t h e Ocean Mail act of 1891 is recommended a s a n aid to American shipping. A s u b s i d y for Pacific s t e a m e r s , the p r e s i d e n t t h i n k s , is necessary.

Concerning t h e dispatch of t h e fleet to the Pacific, thu president believes it should be shifted between t h e two oceans every year or t w o as a m e a n s of teaching officers a n d men how to handle the vessels in a time of war. Although t h e r e s u l t s of T h e H a g u e conference a r e declared not to have been up to expectations, a d e g r e e of good is said t o . h a v e resulted, notably a provision by which t h e p o w e r s t a k i n g part in the conference a g r e e d not to have recourse to a r m e d force for the collection of debts owed to their citizens by foreign countries. The expectation of the government. is declared to be to turn over Cuba to a g o v e r n m e n t chosen by t h e people of the Island within the coming year. tierujcn Tariff A g r e e m e n t . Concerning the tariff a g r e e m e n t entered into with (Jermany. its object is declared to have been the prevention of a tariff w a r between the I'nited States and that country. Tiie work of the commission which made the a g r e e m e n t is praised. The president asks for a u t h o r i t y to remit to China all indemnity in excess of the sum oT JU,033,402.()9 and interest at four per cent. In conclusion the message c o n g r a t u - lates the country on Its present cordial n la tiuiis with all countries, particularly the sister republics to t!o> south, HAD HER PLANS W E L L LAID. William Was Not Likely to Take Vira Away in a Hurry. Vira, tho Morses' sable cook, announced to her mistress that she intended to he married the next week, says the Youth's Companion.

Owen Mudge was a very sensitive man. More than once at a harsh word he had forsaken profitable work and gone home for sympathy to his wife. One morning Owen started out to help Glenn Butler, who had bought a new stump-pulling machine and was preparing to clear a field. Toward noon Owen c a m e hack. Mrs. Mudge sighed and waited sympathetically for the explanation. "I j u s t couldn't stand it," said Owen, rubbing his jaw. " W h e n I see t h a t stump-puller twist t h e m roots out, it reminded me so of tho times I went to the dentist to get back teeth extracted. The first thing I knew I was limp as a rag, and I just ached all over and had to quit."—Youth's Companion. Best He Could Do. It was his first circuit, and, moreover, he had to defend his first client, who was a better known than respected burglar In a n interval he approached a veteran m e m b e r of the bar and sought for advice. "And how long do you think I ought to make my speech to-the jury, sir?" he finished up. "I should say about an hour," said the old hand. "An hour! Why, I thought ten minutes would be ample! Why so long?" "Well," said his adviser, "you see, they en n't sentence him till you're finished, and the longer you talk the longer he'll he out of jail!"—Stray Stories. Going to Be Fined. When George Ade was a newspaper reporter he was sent to "write up" an Irish laborer who had fallen from a building. When Mr. Ade arrived on the scene, several officers and others were helping the injured man into the ambulance. Mr. Ade pulled out his pad and pencil.

Chip wants schoolin', n' she's got to study night 'n' day for the next eight montlia. If you go back with, 'em, an' go gallivantin' 'round with her. oz you're sure to, it won't be no help to her. I've given you two all the chances for weavin' the threads o' 'fectshun I could this summer, an' now let's you 'n' 1 turn to and make some money. I've asked your uncle "n" aunt. They're willin', 'n' now, what, do ye Bay?" Few counlry boys with a love for trappin, such as Ray had, ever had a more alluring prospect spread before them. He knew Old Cy was right in all his conclusions, and almost without hesiiation he agreed to the plan. It was far-sighted wisdom on Old Cy's part, however, in not giving Ray time to reflect, else tho magnet of Chip's eyes on the one hand, and eight mouths of separation on the other, would have proved too strong, and trap-setting anci gum-gathering, with |r>00 as reward, would have failed. As it was, he came near weakening at. the last moment when the canoes were packed and Angle and Chip came to take their seats in them. He and his crude, rude, \ et. winsome little sweetheart had suffered a brief preliminary parting the evening previous. A good many sweet and silly nothings had been exchanged, also promises, and now the boy's heart was very sore. Chip was more stoical. Her life at Tim's Place and contact with Old Tomah had taught, her reserve, and yet. when she turned for the last possible look at Old Cy and Ray, waving good-by at the landing, a misi of tears hid them. Old Cy's face was also a study. To him these parting clouds were as the white ones hiding the sun; yet he felt" their chill. His own life shadow was lengthening. He had now but a brief renewal of youth in the lives of these two, and then forget fulness, as he knew full well, and yet. he pitied them. More than that, he had set his hand to guiding Ihe bark of their young lives into the safe harbor of a home, and all feelings of his own subserved to that. "Come, enme, my hoy," he said to Ray as the two turned away, and he noted the lad's sad face, "she's gone now, an' ye'd best, forget, her fer a spell. Ye won't, I know, 'n' she won't; but ye'd best make believe ye do. This ain't no spot fer love-sick spells. We've got work to do, 'n' money to a m ; ye've got the chance o' yer life now, an' me to help ye to it, so brace up 'n' look cheerful. "Think *o' what we got to do to git ready fer winter 'n' six foot o' snow. Think o' the traps we're1 goin' to set, an' the fun o' tcndiii' em. Why, girls ain't in it a minnit with ketchin' mink, marten, otter, an' now 'n' then a lynx or bobcat Then when yo go back Witk a new suit 'n' money in yer pocket, ye'll feel prouder'n a peacoc*, 'n' Chip a-amilln' at ye sweeter'n new maple syrup." Verily Old Cy had the wtsaum of age and the cheerfulness ot morning aunshine. All that day these wilderness-marooned filexids woiked hard. An uui plu stock of birch wood must be cut and split, a shed of poles to cover it must be erected alongside of the cabin, the hermit's log hut was tu be divest ed of its nttiugs, which were to be removed to the new cabin which all were now to occupy. Realizing how vital to their existence the canoes were, Old Cy had also planned a shelter of small logs for them on one aide of the log cabin, that could be locked. Here the canoea niu in use must bo stored at once to guard against a night call from the malignant half-breed. His canoe had been taken aloug by Martin's party, to be left at Tim's Place, for even Hersey would have scorned to appropriate) it. There were dozens of other needs to prepare for during the next two months, all of which were important. An ample supply of deer meat must be secured, to be pickled and smoked. All the partridges they could shoot would bo needed, and later, when south-bound ducks halted at the lake, a few of these would add to their larder. In this connection, also, another need occurred to Old Cy. Trout could be caught all winter in the lake, but live bait must be had, and so a slat car to bo sunk in some swift-running stream, which would hold them, must be constructed, also a scoop of mosquito net to catch them. These minnows were to be found now by the million in every brook, and forethought was Old Cy's watchword. All these duties and details he discussed that first day with Ray, while tfrey worked, for a purpose. Lut the first evening here, with its open fire, yet empty seats, was the hardest to pass. In vain Old Cy enlarged upon the joys of trap-setting once more, and how and where they were to secure gum. In vain he described how deadfalls were built and where they must be placed, how many signs of lynx and wildcat he had seen that summer, and how sure they were to secure some of these valuable furs. Ray's heart was not here. F a r away in some night camp, Chip was thinking of him. Ho knew each day would bear her farther away. No word of "Why Don't Yc Shave?" her safe arrival could reach them now. Long months must elapse ere he and she could meet again, and in prospect, they seemed an eternity. "Come, git yer banjo, my boy," Old Cy ejaculated at. last, seeing Ray's face grow gloomy. "Tune *er up, an' play us suthin' lively. None o' them goody-goody weepin' sort, o' tunes; but give us 'Money Musk' 'n' a few jigs. I'm feelin' our prospects are so cheerful, I'd like to cut, a few pigeon-wings out o' compliment." Hut, Old Cy's hilarity was nearly all put, on. He, too, felt the effect of the empty seats and missed every one that, had gone, and Ray's jig tunes lacked their spirit. He essayed a few, and then quite unconsciously his fingers strayed to "My Old Kentucky Home," and Old Cy's feelings responded. CHAPTER XI. Chip's arrival in Greenvalo produced astonishment, and gossip galore. It began when the stage that "Uncle .Toe" Panics had driven for 20 years started for that village. There were other passengers besides Martin, his wife, and Chip. The sents inside were soon filled, and Chip, seeing a coveted chance, climbed nimhiy to a position beside the driver. "Gee Whittakor," observed one by'- stander to another, as Chip's blackstockinged legs flashed into view, "but that gal's nlmbler'n a squirrel 'n' don't mind showin' nnderpinnin'. I wished I was drivin' that stage. 1*11 bet she's a circus." Uncle Joe soon found her a live companies at least, for he had scarce left the Yj[l}aj|e e , 'R she began."* "Tour hosses are fatter'n Tim's bosses used to be," she said. "Do yo feed 'em on hay and taters':"' Uncle Joe gave her a sideways glance. "Hay and taters," he exclaimed; "we don't feed bosses on tatera down here. Whero'd you come frnn-'.?" "1 used to live at Tim's Place, up in the woods, "u' we fed our bosses on taters, 'u' they had backs sharp 'uuff to split ye." This lime Uncle Joe faced squarely around. "1 kuow all about bosses," she continued glibly. "I used to take lteer on 'em 'a' ride one plowln', an' I've been throwed inore'n a hundred times when we struck roots, an' ye ought to 'a' heerd Tim cuss. I used to cuss just the same, but Mrs. Friable says 1 musu't." "Wal, 1 ijwmv," ejaculated Uncle Joe, realizing that ho had a "case." "What's your name, "n" whar's Tim's Place?" "My name's Chip, Chip McGuiro, only 'tain't, It's Vera; but they alius culled me Chip, an' Tim's Place is ever so far up in t h e woods. I runued away 'cause dad sold me, an' fetched up at Mrs. Frisbie's camp, V she's goin' to eddicato me. My mother got killed when 1 was a kid, 'u' my dad killed 'nother one, too; he's a bad 'un." Uncle Joe gasped at this gory tale of double murder, not being quite sure that the girl was sane. "Hain't they ketched yer dad yit?" he queried. "No, nor they won't," Chip rattled on, as if such killing were a daily occurrence in the woods. "He's a slick 'un, they say, an' now he's got Pete's money, he'll lay lowr." "Worse and worse, and more of it," Uncle Joe thought. "You must 'a' had middlin' lively times up in the woods," he said. "Did yer dad kill anybody else 'sides yer mother 'n' this m a n ? " "He didn't kill mother," Chip returned promptly; "he used to lick her, though, but she got killed in a mill, n' I wlsht it 'ud bin him. I wouldn't 'a' bin an orfln then. Say," she added, as they entered a woods-bordered stretch of road, "did ye ever see spites here?" "Spites," he responded, now more than ever in doubt" as to her sanity, "what's them?" "Why, they's just spites—things ye can't see much of 'ceptin' it's dark. Then they come crawlin' round. They's souls o' animals mostly, Old Tomah says. I've seen thousands on 'em." Uncle Joe shifted 1 : s quid, turned and eyed the girl once more. First, a wild and wofully mixed tale of murder, and then spookish things! Beyond question she had wheels, and he resolved to humor her. "Oh, yes, we see 1hem tilings here now 'n' then," he said, "hut it takes considerable lieker to do it. We hain't had a murder, though, for quite a spell. This is a sorter peaceful neck o' woods yu're comin' to," Hut Chip failed to grasp his quiet humor, and all through that 20-mile autumn day stage ride she chattered on liko a magpie. He soon concluded she was sane enough, however, but the most voluble talker who ever shared his seat. "I never seen the beat, o' her," he said that night at Phinney's store,— the village news agency,—"she clacked every minit from the time we started till we fetched in, an' I never callatcd sich goin's on ez she told about cud ever happen. Thar was murder 'n' runnin' away, 'n' she got. ketched 'n' carried off 'n' fetched back, 'n' a. whole lot o' rcsky business. She believes in ghosts, too, sorter Injun sperits, 'n' she kin swear jist ez easy ez I kin." it seems the Frisbies hev kinder 'dopted her, 'n' I guess they'll hev their hands full. She's a bright 'un, though, but sich a talker!" At Aunt Comfort's spacious, oldfashioned home, where Chip was now installed, she soon began to create the same impression. This had been Angle's former home, and her Aunt. Comfort. Day had been her fostaj- mother. This family, in addition to the new arrival, consisted of Aunt. Comfort, rotund and warm-hearted: Hannah Pettibone, a well-along spinster of angular for*m and temper, thin to an almost painful degree, with a well-defined mustache; and a general nelper on the farm, and a chore boy about Chip's age named Nezer, completed the list. Once included in this somewhat diverse group, Chip hecame an immediate bone of contention. Aunt, Comfort, of course, opened her heart to her at once; but. Hannah closed hers, almost, from the first day, and in addition she began to* nurse malice as well. There was some reason for this, mainly due to Chip's startling freshness of speech. "I thought ye must, be a man weavin' wimmin's clothes, the first time f setye," she said to Hannah the next day after her arrival, and without meaning offense. "It was all on account o' yer little whiskers, 1 guess, i never see a woman with 'em afore. Why don't ye shave?" This was enough; for if there was any one thing more mortifying than all else to Hannah, It was her facial blemish, and a mention of it she considered an intentional insult. ; From this moment u u w u d she hated Chip. Nezer. however, took to her a s a duck to water, and her atory, which he soon, heard, became a real dime novel to him, and not content with one telling, he insisted on repetition. This was also unfortunate for—biased with a vivid imagination and sure to enlarge upon all facts—he soon spread the story with many blood-curdling additions. These stories, with Uncle Joe's corroboration, resulted in a direful tale believed by all. Neighburs ilockud in to see this heroine or many escapades, villagers halted in front of Aunt Comfort's to catch a siyht of this marvel, and so the wonder spread. Angle was, of course, to blame. More impressed with the seriousness of the task she had undertaken than the need uf caution, she had failed to tell Chip she must not talk about herself, and so a woefully distorted history became current gossip. When Sunday came the village church was packed and Parson Jones marveled much at the unexpected increase of religious interest. He had heard of this new arrival, but whan the Frisbie family with Chip, in suitable clothing, entered their pew, the cynosure of all eyes, this unusual attendance was accounted for. And what a stariug-af Chip received! On the church steps a group of both young and old men had awaited her arrival and gazed at her in open-eyed astonishment. All through service she was watched, and not content with this, a dozen or so, men and women, formed a double line outside, awaitin? the Frisbies' exit. Angie also failed to understand the principal cause of this interest. Her last appearance at this church had been as a bride. Naturally that fact would produce some staring, and so the curious and almost rude scrutiny the family received was less noticed by her. Put Chip's eyes were observant. "I don't like goin' to meetln'," she said, "an' bein' stared at like I was a wildcat. I seen 'em grinnln', too, some on em, when we went in, an' one feller winked to another. What ailed 'em?" Her vexations, however, had only just begun, for Angie had seen and made arrangements with Miss Phinney, one of the village school teachers, and the next morning Chip was sent to school. And now real trouble commenced. Not knowing more than how to read and spell short words, and unable to write, she, a fairly well developed young lady, presented a problem which was hard for a teacher to solve. To put her in the class where she belonged was absurd. She must sit with older girls, or look ridiculous. If she recited with the eight-year-old children, the result would be the same, and so a species of private tuition with recitations- at noon or after school became the only possible course and (he one her teacher adopted. This also carried its vexations, for Chip was as tall as Miss Phinney and a little larger. Not one of that band of pupils was over 12. To join in their games was no sport for Chip, while they, having heard about her thrilling experiences, with a hint that she wasn't quite right in her head, felt afraid of her. "I feel so sorry for her," Miss Phinney explained to Angie, a week later, "and yet, I don't, know what to do. She is so big the children won't play with her, or she with them. T am the only one with whom she will talk, and she seems so humble and so grateful for every word. I can't be as stern with her or govern her as I should, on account of her temper and size. "Only yesterday 1 heard screaming at recess, and going out. I found that Chip bad one of the girls by the hair and w7as cuffing her. Tt transpired that this girl had called her an Indian and asked if she had ever scalped anybody. I can't punish such a pupil, and I can't help loving her, so you see she is a sore trial." (TO ISK C O N T I N U E D . ! Dog Jealousy. There Is a strong trait, of j.3alouay in a dog's nature. A story is told of a Birmingham dog that, had been a great, pet in the family until the baby came. There was suspicion that he was jealous, but ho could not be detected In any disrespect to the newcomer. It always happened, however, that, when the dog was left alone with th* baby the baby began to cry. No signs of trouble were ever to be seen upon entering the room, and the dog was always found sleeping peacefully before the fire. Finally one day a peep through the keyhole disclosed the canine rubbing his cold wet nose up and down the baby's back.—Outing Magazine. Hymns as Exponents of Piety. Said Henry Ward Beecher: "Hymns are the exponent of the innermost .jewels which the church has worn, formed into amulets more potent against sadness and sorrow than the most famous charm of the wizard or magician. And he who knows the way hymns flowed, knows where the blood of true piety ran"and can trace its vein and arteries to the V M P heart." NIGHT SWEATS, hlO APPETITC, USED PE-RU-NA. MRS. LIZZIE LOUR, 1155 W. Wth St., Chicago, 111., writes: " I take pleasure in writing you these few lines, thinking t h e r e may bo other women suffering- the same us 1 did* " I had my couaplaiuts for over ayoaR, night sweats all winter aud nouppetitt* I was run-down so far t h a t I h a d t o sit down to do my cooking, I was se weak.

For six months she had been pleading with him to buy an automobile. "They are too expensive," he protested for the hundredth time. "If I bought an automobile I would have to Cut down our expenses." "What expenses?" she asked. "Why, table expenses. For instance, if I had an automobile I couldn't afford to have chicken every Sunday." She laughed. 'Why, you goose! If you had an automobile you could run down enough fowls to have chicken every day, to say nothing of big turkeys and nice roasting pigs. Why is it m e n haven't any brains?" And the next, day he hustled around to the nearest dealer and ordered a racing machine. The Worst Was Yet to Come. A southern pulpit orator, one Sunday morning, was describing the experience of the prodigal son. In his endeavor to impress his hearers with the shame and remorse that t a i l young man felt and his desire to cast away his wicked doings, he spofce> thus: "Dis young man got to thinking about his meanness and his misery, and he tuk off his coat and frowed it away. And den he tuk off his vest, and frowed dat away. And den he tuk off his shirt, and frowed dat. away too. And den he come to hisself." A Frank Advertiser.

T h e doctor is a Mend of Geu. Zehaya, president of the republic of Nicaragua, und ha» been honored by him with several important offices. "There is probably no richer country in the world t'uaa Nicaragua," said Dr. Flanagan. "It is, however, almost in A virgin state, as there has been scarcely any development of itB great resources.

The older members of the family sleep in hammocks woven from the fibers of the hennequln or the banana stafk, while the juveniles curl up on the floor. They are about as near to nature as any people under t h e sun, for nature supplies theiu with everything necessary to sustain life. "'These Sambos are nominally under the Nicaraguan government, it is true, but they pay direct allegiance to a king, a monarch of their own tribe. His) authority extends over many vill a m . a n d settlements, embracing a «oaj|t line of 150 miles, and he is by no m#ans a figurehead, for in periodical revolutions he often holds the balance of power and dictates terms to the contending leaders. The Mosquito coast is the most backward, commercially and Industrially, of all the regions bordering on the Caribbean, and for this the Sambo king is directly responsible. He is shrewd enough to know that wherever the white man gets a footing the native soon vanishes, and therefore has he refused the granting of concessions for the exploitation of the valuable forests of Ills kingdom, nor will he allow his subjects to sell their lands. Thus this wily Indian ruler, who can't write Jhis name, has managed to hold his territory In its primal state against the avaricious schemes of the white man. His people obey him unquestionably and the general government is content to let him alone." PROOF FOR T W O CENTS. If You Suffer with Your Kidneys and Back Write to This Man. G. W. Winney, Medina, N.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. HIS T U R N TO CRITICI8C. Youngster Felt Called on to Manifest Disapproval of Prayer. Little John, who, at the mature age of four, has learned the Lord's Prayer, Is often criticised by his sister, two years older, for slight mfatakes which he cannot always avoid in offering the petition. A few Sundays ago he was taken to church for the first time. When the moment for the prayer arrived and the congregation bowred their heads John's mother took the precaution to whisper to him that he must be very quiet. "Listen," she said, "and you will hear the minister pray." This Interested John at once, and his little face took on a look of serious attention, but his mother, watching him covertly, saw his expression change presently to one of surprise and disapproval. A few minutes more, and he could stand it no longer. What could this man be saying? Not a word of the prayer did he recognize as the only formula he had. ever heard called by that name. "Why, mother," he exclaimed, in a tone; audible over nearly half the church, "do you hear? He isn't saying it right at all!" SORES AS BIG AS PENNIE8. One Way to Judge. "Do you know," said the head wait- ••r at a fashionable New York restaurant, "that an experienced waiter usually tell whether a diner is Mil thy or not by the way he handles his meal check? If a man carelessly pitches out his money for the waiter to pay the bill without looking over his check we know the chances are that he isn't wealthy. He is indulging in a luxury and fears he might be ridiculed if he examined ihe check. On the other hand, the man who has plenty of money examines his check closely, as a rule. If he finds an item which he thinks is wrong h? tells the waiter about It, It was probably just such care as that that made him rich. Is he laughed at? Well, I guess not. In fact, the waiters admire him for his carefulness, and the result is they are doubly particular about how he is charged." Whole Head and Neck Covered—Hair All Came Out—Cured in Three Weeks by Cuticura. "After having the measles my whole | head and neck wore covered with scaly sores about as large as a penny. They were just as thick as they could bo. My hair all came out. I let the trouble run along, taking the doctor's blood remedies and rubbing on salve, but it did net. scorn to get any better. It stayed that way for about six months; then I got a set of the Cutieura Remedies, and in about a week 1 noticed a big difference, and in three weeks it was well entirely and I have not had the trouble any more, and as this was seven, years ago, I consider myself cured.

As a, source of humor the Irish servant girl has long since fallen from her high estate, a result probably due to the better class of young women from the Emerald Isle who come here annually to help confuse the. eternal '•servant girl question." But now and again one of the old, naively ignorant sort turns up in a New York household, as was demonstrated the other day to a caller at a house on the West Side. The girl who responded to the bell was asked if her mistress was at homo. To this inquiry she surprised the caller by putting her arms behind her back and replying in a rich brogue, as she thrust her face toward the caller: "Put th' tickets in me mouth, ma'am, an' I'll go an' see.

PRODUCTIVE POWER OF WESTERN CANADA SOIL Winnipeg Correspondence. There haa never b#en any who have doubted the jjroductlvenesH of the coll of Western Canada, but there are sometimes found those who question the fact of its superiority. During the past season it has been ubown that in grain raising qualities it possessed the very best. The late spring prevented grain being sow* in many cases before the middle of May. Yet, a large percentage of that sown at that time produced excellent yields. Had it not been for the frost early In August, which visited most of the north half of the continent, there would have been a magnificent yield In every district in Western Canada. Throughout the Southern Alberta district where about 100,000 acres was BUWU to win ter wheat the yield will be enormously large. There are vast tracts of valuable grain growing land In Western Canada that are available for homesteads, the Canadian Government giving 160 acres free, and entry may be made by proxy, by any near relative, thus saving considerable cost to the American who may have entry made In this way. Any Canadian Government Agent will give you the particulars. Your correspondent h a s just received the following letter from Craik, Saskatchewan, which bears out the statement made in the first part of this letter. "Craik, Saak., Aug. 1907. "May 24th we planted a Dahlia root, which we brought with us from Minneapolis. Aug. 12th, 80 days later, it was in bloom. The plant is now 4½ feet high and covered with blossoms. We never got half ay many flowers on it in Minneapolis, even during September and October, although we had more time to attend to it there." I mention this only as an example of the great productive power of the soil here in Saskatchewan, Canada; SEARS, ROEBUCK A CO. I N D I C T E D . Charged with Using Mails to Defraud and in Misrepresenting Articles Sold. Caught Whiskers in Safe. In locking his safe the other night prior to his going home for supper George Edgemont, a paperhanger who lives at Jefferson street and Hermitage lane, Manayunft, shut the safe door upon his flowing whiskers and was held until released by his daughter, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Edgemont had been cut collecting bills during the day. Returning to hig office he opened his safe and placed the money in it. He then threw the dcor shut, catching the end of his beard in the door. In the excitement incident to his odd predicament he forgot the combination and so could not release himself. With his chin resting on the sate he was discovered about an hour after the accident by his daughter, who came to find what had delayed him. The safe was broken open by a locksmith. A Fascinating Game. A precocious little girl living on one of the crowded business thoroughfares of the city was in the habit of gazing out of Ihe wiadow at the busy street below for hours at a time.

There lb more than humor la tbo rise and fall or the mubtache, although til© country was amused several years ago by a humorous lecturer, who discoursed on the subject. It is contrary to the British army regulations for an officer to shave ids upper lip. From time to time the war department has issued general orders expressing its disapproval or the growing disregard of the regulations, and now it is re ported in London that King Edward Is contemplating some action which will compel the officers tu return to th< old custom. The mustache has lung been regarded as a military badge. Unly one regiment ,ln the Austin-Hungarian cavalry may go smoothfaced, and this is because during the Seven Years" war recruits were so scarce that this regiment once had to go into battle when there were nothing but beardless boys in its ranks. It behaved with such gallantry that Its members remain beardless to this day. The decline of the mustache in military England is said to be due to the preference of American girls for smooth faces and the liking of English army officers for American girls, a combination which produces new fashions anu outlaws old customs. Graceful recognition of one to whom the first settlers of New England owed much, if not their very lives, has recently been made by the Rhode Island commission for marking historical sites. Over the famous Massasoit spring, in the town of Warren, a tablet was erected to the great Indian chief who owned and ruled much of what is now Massachusetts and Rhode Island when the Pilgrims were settling the country. One of the sons of Massasoit was educated at Harvard college. Another son, although he had not the advantages of a college education, succeeded in making a name for himself. He was the famous King Philip whose war is a part of colonial history. Massasoit himself was a warm friend of the white Bettlers. The tablet was unveiled by Princess Wootonekanuske, otherwise known as Charlotte L. Mitchell, a lineal descendant of Massasoit. If China is awakening, are the western nations awakening to China? Dr. Arthur H. Smith, the well-known American missionary, shows in an. interesting book that this country has not followed its missionaries and its ministers of famine relief with any deep intellectual or even commercial understanding of China. It is strange that this1 nation, at once mercantile and generous, should have made so little effort, to understand the Chinese on their own soil, and should have failed to hoed the plain statement of Li Hung-Chang that, "if Americans want, the trade of China they must eome after it." Our attitude toward •'.'hina has been like our attitude "-oward South America. American consuls have boon preaching to us for years to learn the countries to which we ship our goods. Yet no traders are so little at home as are Americana in countries across the seas. The Rev. George Clark Houghton, the rector of the Little Church Around the Corner, in New York, has' given new fame to that place of worship by announcing that no marriages will be performed there hereafter unless the names of the contracting parties are announced beforehand. Therefore couples who want to be matrimonially united on the sly will have to go elsewhere. This is a good way to prevent young people from making fools of themselves, says Boston Budget, and is in accordance with a time-honored custom in the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches. TRAGEDY E N D 8 ILLbCIT LOWE OF W O M A N P A T I E N T A N D DOCTOR. INFATUATION AND SCORN Tgld Hubband She Loved the Doctor Best, Then Came Separation, An Operation, Reconciliation and Ruination. Mrs. Florence Griffith deliberately shot Dr. James A. Att ridge, of Detroit, the bullet lodging in his brain. She then turned the weapon upon herself and sent a bullet into her own head, just above the right temple. The tragedy occurred early Tuesday evening iu the comfortably furnished flat of Mrs. Griffith. What led up to the shooting, the immediate cause, can only be a matter of conjecture. No one was present except the principals. But that It was the closing chapter of a woman's illicit infatuation for a supposed affinity there is no doubt. ".My wife and 1 have been married for If years," .said James B. Griffith. husband of the woman. "We came to this city about four years ago. "1 have known Dr. Attridge about three years. 'We became acquainted in a purely professional way. The doctor was our family physician. A year ago- I had typhoid fever, and he took care of me. But he was move than our family doctor. He was my friend. He frequently called on us socially. He seemed to exercise a strange inihunco over my wife, who thought the world of him. 1 know now that the relations existed between them for over a year, but 1 did not make the discovery until last spring. "I confronted my wife with my suspicions, and she confessed. She told me that she loved the doctor more than she did me, more than anything or anybody in the world. I sufd to her that if such were her feelings we would have to part. For a time we went along, I attempting to free her from the doctor's influence over her and hoping for a reconciliation. It was useless." "On October 211 last we separated. It was an amicable separation. 1 left the apartments we had occupied, but continued to take care of her financially. I paid the rent and snw to it that she wanted for nothing. I saw her, too, once in a while, and we were by no means on bad terms. It was, as 1 said, an amicable separation. "My wife's health was poor. Two weeks ago she was removed to Harper hospital for an operation. Dr. Attridge is a member of the medical, staff of that hospital. He had charge of my wife's case in an advisory capacity. Dr. Angus McLean performed the operation. While she was at the hospital, I called on her several times. I found her in varying moods. Now she would be full of admiration for the doctor, now she would seem to tire of him and long for me and her old home life. "This latter sentiment grew so strong upon her that we became reconciled, and 1 agreed to return to her as soon as she should he ahlc to leave the hospital. "She left the hospital and was taken to her home. Her sister, Mrs, Stella Wade, of Holly, Mich., win, was here to take care of her, notified me that my wife would come homo. 1 was not to take her home. My wife insisted that Dr. Attridge should accompany her, I had made up my mind to call on her in the evening and remain with her, "When I arrived the tragedy had occurred." Mrs. Griffith arrived in her apartments early in the evening. The doctor had left. her. Site was alone with her sister in her home. The operation had left, her a hopeless invalid. Her home was ruined. STATE NEWS IN BRIEF. Edward Koester, of Riga, aged 14, ahot himself with a toy pistol and died. Mrs. Charles Barton, aged 103, the oldest resident of Ithaca, has passed away.

OVER FIVE HUNDRED DIE There Are All and Moro Than the Usual Attendant Horror* to Appa the Reccuera and Onlookers. The explosion in the Fairmont Coul Co.';, mines, Xos. 6 and 8, at Mouougah, W. Va., which dazed the people, caused the greatest disaster and loss of life in the history of American mining. The streets of Fairmont and Monongah were crowded Saturday night and thousands lined the hills in the vicinity of the wrecked works. At 9 p. m. only 2M bodies had been recovered, but scores were in sight. The deadly black-damp became more pronounced as the further recesses of the mines were approached. It was a physical impossibility to go faster than i he air, which traveled slowly on account of the men having to brattice many old entries as they worked forward. It was stated by General Manager Leo T. Makme, of the mine, that 478 actual miners were checked off as enhan ;:IKI tering the mines Friday morning. This number, it was further stated, did not include fully 100 trappers, mule drivers, pumpers and boys who are not under the check system. Should these figures be correct, the death list will be over 550 persons. The condition of the bodies thus far recovered is horrible. Many are dismembered; some are fearfully crushed and the rest are blackened and burned beyond recognition. The body of J. M. Mc- Craw, pit boss, and one of the best known mining men in West Virginia, was recovered in mine No. S. It was headless and otherwise disfigured, identification having been made by the clothing and shoes lie wore. Exterminate Head Hunters.

The wires are charged with elfctrlcity.. The soldiers begin/ to shoot'; .$be'uav* ages stampede and the deadly wires get those thut the bullets miss. W h y Day Is Hostile. A great many persons in the United States have been wanting to know why it is that Chancellor Day, of Syracuse university, is so bitterly hostile to President Roosevelt. It Is now possible, for the first time, to make an authoritative statement by way of explanation of that hostility. To begin with, Day was one of Roosevelt's best friends and must ardent and outspoken admirers for many years. The pleasant relationship was broken about two years ago when the president refused to permit a nephew of Day's to be placed on the retired list of the army, at regular retired pay. Instead of doing this, the president concluded that justice demanded that the young man go to prison, where he is now completing a sentence for the offense of duplicating his pay accounts. Hence Day's spleen. A New York man who gave a beggar the price of a meal nine years ago received recently a letter inclosing a $1,000 bill in payment. Only initials were signed, so the receiver hag no idea who Rent the money. Maybe it came from the beggars' union to stimulate giving. We cannot, tell. Almost, everything is being put nn a business basis these days. To Succeed Glazier. Vernon T.

Kansas City made a splendid fight to land the gathering, and its showing in the vote was a strong one. Denver also bid, offering $100,000 in cash, but the superior attractions of the Windy City and the facilities there for I lie handling of the news of the convention decided the matter. The original vote stood: Chicago, H2; Kansas City, 17; Denver, 4. Troops in Goldfietd. The trouble with miners in Goldj fit Id, Nev., is probably over now that : the soldiers have arrived.

The Japanese government views with mixed feelings the coming American naval demonstration in the Pacific, not because it is doubtful of the intentions of the American government, but because it, fears the effect on the Chinese mindR. The Chinese are being imbued with the idea that. America is moving in their behalf against. Japan. News from China during the past, few months has faintly described the anti-Japanese movement, which is gathering headway in that country. The conviction is growing among all classes that Russia's successful opponent, has schemes of aggrandizement at. the expense of the flowery kingdom and the feeling has already reached dangerous proportions. Ten Per Cent Stabbed. The Italian government, is making Michiflan's Big Poultry Show. The Michigan State poultry association hold their fourteenth annual show at the Light Guard Armory, Detroit, January l l to 16, 1908. This show is to be of great educational value, which will be due largely to the high quality of the show throughout and the systematic manner in which it will be conducted. It will be one of the largest shows held in America this year. There is to be given 40 beautiful silver cups and nearly 400 valuable specials, such as dining tables, tea sets, barrels of flour, etc., besides large cash prizes. Correspondence is being received from all over the United States and Canada. Unable to raise money to feed the animals, Port Huron will sell its aoo.

Chip T Quire, a 16-year-old girl living a t Tim'., place in the Maine woods is sold by Ler father to Pete Boldue, a half-breed. She runs away and reaches the camp of Martin Frlsbie, occupied by Martin, his wife, nephew, ilaymond Stetson, and Kuides. She tells her story and is cared for by Mrs. Frisble. Journey of Frlsble'a party into woods to visit father of Mrs. Frisble, an old hermit, who has resided in the wilderness for many years. When camp is broken Chip and Ray occupy same canoe. The party reach camp of Mra. Frlsbie's father and are welcomed by him and Cy Walker, an old friend and former townsman of the hermit. They settle down for summer's stay. Chip and Kay a r e in love, but no one realizes tWs but Cy Walker. Strange canoe marks found on lake shore in front of their cabin. Strange smoke is seen across the lake. Martin and Levi leave for settlement to get officers to arrest McGulre, who is known :>s outlaw and escaped murderer. Chip's one woods friend, Toman, an Indian, visits camp. Ray believes he sees a bear on the ridge. Chip is stolen by Pete Boldue and escapes with her in a canoe. Chip is rescued by Martin and Levi as they are returned from the settlement. Boldue escapes. Old Cy proposes to Ray that lie remain In the woods with himself a n d Amzl and trap during the winter and he concludes to do so. Others of the p a r t y return to Greenvale, taking Chip with them. Chip starts to school in Greenvale, nnd finds life unpleasant *.t Aunt Comfort's, mado so especially by Hannah. CHAPTER X I I . The streams and swamps contiguous to this lake) were well adapted for the habitat of wink, muskrat, otter, fisher, and those large fur-bearing animals, tho lyax and lucivee. - OM Cy, familiar as he was with the boorea. habits, and the manner of catching these cunning animals, soon began his trap-setting campaign: A few dozen steel traps were first set along the stream and lagoons entering the lake, and then be and Ray pushed up Heaver brook, and leaving their canoe, followed Us narrow valley in search of suitable spots to set the more elaborate deadfalls. As gum-gathering was also a part of their season's plan, they now left the swamp valley, and, ascending the spruce-clad upland, began this work. There was also another element t h a t entered into the trapping and gumgathering life,—the possible return of the half-breed. "He hain't nothin' agin us," Old Cy asserted, when the question came up. "We didn't chase him the day he stole Chip, *n' yet I s'pose he'll show up some day, 'n' mebbe do us harm." It was this fear that had led Old Cy to leave one of their canoes in a log locker, securely barred, and also to caution the hermit to remain on guard at the cabin while he and Ray were away. A canoe Is the one most vital need of a wildwood life, for the reason that the streams are the only avenues of escape and afford the only opportunities for travel. Oid Cy knew, or at. least he felt al- B o s t sure, that, the half-breed would r t t u r n in good time. He had also reasoned out his failure to do so at once, and knew that left canoeless, as he had been that tragic day, his only course must be the one he actually followed. A month had elapsed since then, with no sign of this "varmint's" return, and now Old Cy was on the watch for it. They had first visited the small t r a p s near the lake, securing a couple of mink and three muskrats, which were toft la t h e canoe. An otter was found l a OM of tho deadfalls, and taking t M s ^wKh tisom^, tooy ootoroA the spruce ' j t t a h t r 0*4 tons It o» a conspicuous I n b V T h i s too aearcti for gum began. ?>,V 4 , m m ^ ^ ^ , ^ 1 ^ d .

" T a i n t thq baff-br/jedV' ttq p u t t e r e d , with an accent' of relief, and looking about he saw a welMleflned trail leading down tho slope and thence onward toward the swamp. Some one had crossed this broad, oval, spruce-covered upland while they were not 200 rodb away from this tree, had stolen their otter and gone on into the swamp. Any freshly made human footprint found in a vast wilderness awakens curiosity; these seemed ominous. "He must 'a' seen us 'Core he did the otter," Old Cy ejaculated, "an' It's curls be didn't make himself known. Neighbors ain't over plenty, hereabout." But the sun was nearlng the treetops, the canoe was a mile away, and after one more look around, Old Cy started for it. There was no use in following this trail now, for it led into the tangled swamp, and so, skirting this until a point opposite the canoe was reached, Old Cy and Ray the a plunged into it. Twilight had begun to shadow this vale ere the canoe was reached. And here was another surprise, for the canoe was found turned half over, and on its broad oval bottom was a curious outline of black mud. The light was not good here. A fir-grown ledge shadowed the spit; but as Old Cy stooped to examine this mud-made emblem, it gradually took shape, and he saw—a skull aud cross bones! "Wal, by the Great Horn Spoon!" he exclaimed, "X never s'posed a pirate 'ud fetch in here! An' he's .swiped our muskrats and mink," he added, as he looked under the canoe, "darn him!" Then the bold bravado of it all occurred to Old Cy. The theft was doubtless made by whosoever had taken 4 .^ ^kr1 - -••• rtr ^ . %&£•: m__ '• *" ' " ^ The Two Watched In Silent Amazement. their otter, and not content with robbing them, he had added Insult. "I s'pose we'd orter be grateful he left the paddles 'n' didn't smash the canoe," Old Cy continued, turning it over. "X wonder who't can be?" One hasty look around revealed the same bootmarks in the soft earth near the stream, and then he and Hay launched their craft and started for home. "I'm goln' to foller them tracks tomorrer," Old Cy said, when they were entering the lake and a light in the cabin just across reassured him. "It may be a little resky, but I'm goin' to find out what sorter a neighbor we've sot." CHAPTER X I I I . All fellow-sojourners In the wilderness awaken keen interest, and the unbroken silence and solitude of a boundless forest make a fellow human being one we are glad to accost. A party of lumbermen wielding axes causes one to turn aside and call on them. A sportsman's camp seen on a lake shore or near a stream's bank always invites a landing to interview whoever may be there. All this interest was now felt by Old Cy and Ray, and with it an added sense of danger. No friendly hunter or trapper would thus ignore them In the woods. This piratically minded thief must have seen them, for the spruce-clad oval, perhaps half a mile in width, was comparatively free from undergrowth where they had been working. He had crossed it within fairly open sight of th«m, had found the otter hanging from a limb, had taken It, and thence on to rob their $anoe, daub it with that hideous emblem, world-wide in meaning, and then had gone on his way. Almost could Old Cy see him watching them from behind trees, skulking along when their backs were turned, a low, contemptible thief. Old Cy knew that bordering this oval ridge on its farther side was a swamp, that a stream flowed through It, and Burmising that this follow might h a r e come up or <fcow» tfcte lUoaox he loft tooir oootm proyoro* *r t t * t or three days' sojourn away from It, which meant that food, blankets and simple cooking utensils must be taken along. No halt was made to visit traps. Old Cy was trailing bigger game now; and when the point where they had left the canoe the day previous was reached, the canoe was pulled out on the stream's bank, the rifles only taken and the trailing began. He followed up the brook valley a little way, to find that only one track came down; he then circled about the canoe, until, like a hound, he found where the clearly defined trail left the swamp again. Here in the soft carpet under the spruce trttes one could follow this trail on t i e run, aud here also Old Cy found where this enemy had halted beside trees, evidently while watching them, as the tracks indicated. When the bordering swamp was reached, the trail turned in a westerly direction, skirting thus for half a mile, and here, also, evidences of skulking along were visible. Another trail was now come upon, but leading directly over the ridge, and just beyond this juncture both the trails now joined, entered the swamp, and ended at a lagoon opening out I'rora the stream. Here, also, evidences of a canoe having been hauled up Into the bog were visible. "That sneakin' pirate come up this :.-*ream," Old Cy observed to Ray, as the two stood looking at these unmistakable signs. "He left his canoe here 'n' crossed the ridge above us 'n' down to whar we left the otter 'n' on to our canoe. Then he come back the way we follered, 'u' my idee is he had his eye on us most o' the time. I callate he has been laughin' ever since at what we'd say when we found that mud daub on our canoe, durn him!" But their canoe was now a half-mile away, and for a little time Old Cy looked at the black, currentless stream and considered. Then he glanced up at the sun. "I've a notion tw£*dvhes,t fetch our canoe over herS£7he safcr'^at last, "an' follow this thfel u spell farther. We may come on to suthin'." "Won't he shoot at us?" returned Ray, more impressed by this possible danger than was Old Cy. "Wal, mebbe and mebbe not," answered the old man. "Shootin's a game two kin play at, an' we've jist ez good a right to foller the stream ez he has." But when their canoe had been carried over and launched in this lagoon, Ray's spirits rose. It was an expedition into new waters, somewhat venturesome, and for that reason it appealed to him. For two hours they paddled along this serpentine highway, and then the vaatness of this morass began to impress them. No halt for dinner had yet been made. They were both faint from need of food, and so Old Cy reached for a small wooden pail containing their sole supply of provisions. Neither was it a luxurious repast which was now eaten. A couple of hardtacks munched by each and moistened with a cup of this swamp water and a bit of dried deer meat was all, and then Old Cy lit his pipe, dipped his paddle in the stream, and once more they pushed on. Soon a low mound of hard soil rose out of the tangle just ahead, an oasis in this unvarying mud swamp, and gaping at them from amid its cover of scrub birch and cedar stood a deadfall. It faced them as they neared this small island, and with log upraised between a pen of stakes it much resembled the open mouth of a huge alligator. "Hain't been built, long," Old Cy exclaimed, after they had landed to examine it. "I've a notion it's the doin's of our pirate friend, an' he's trappin' round about this swamp. He's had good luck lately, anyhow, for he's got six o' our pelts to add to his string." From here onward signs of human presence In this swamp became more visible. Now and then an opening cut through the limbs of a lopped-over spruce was met; a spot where drift had been pushed aside to clear the stream was found at. one place; signs of a canoe having been nosed into the bog grass were seen; and here were also the same footprints they had followed. Another bit of hard bottom was reached, and here again was another deadfall. Tracks evidently made within a few days were about, here, and tied to its figure-four spindle was a freshly caught brook sucker. "The secnt's gettin' warm," Old Cy muttered, as he examined these signs of a trapper's presence, and then, mindful of the sun, he paddled on again. And now an upland growth of tall spruce was seen ahead, the banks became in evidence, and a slight current was met. One more long bend in the stream was followed, then came curving banks and large-bodied spruce. They wpr e out of the swamp. Soon a more distinctive current opposed them, a low murmur of running water came from ahead, and then a pass between two abutting ledges was entered. Here the stream eddied over sunken rocks, and pushing on, the forest seemed suddenly to vanish as they from the gloom of this short canyon, and the next moment they caught sight of a long, narrow lakelet. The sun, na>w aU&ost to t h e treetops, cast a reddish glow upon its placid surface, and so welcome a change was it from the ghostly, forbid ding swamp just left, that Old Cy halt ed their canoe at once to look out upon it. It was seeuitngiy a mile long, but quite a narrow lake. A bold, rocky shore rising in ledges laced them Just across, and extended along that side, back of these a low, green-clad mountain, to the right, and at the end of this lanelike lake a bolder, bare-topped cliff was outlined clear and distinct. The strip of water, for it was not much more, seemingly filled an oblong gorge in these mountains, only one break in them, to the. left of this bare peak; and as Old Cy urged their canoe out of the alder-choked stream, now currentless, once more, a margin line of rushes and reeds was seen to form that shore. Back of these, also, rose the low ledge they had passed. "Looks like a good hidin' spot fer a pirate," he exclaimed, glancing up and down the smiling lakelet "Thar ain't many folks likely to tackle that swamp —it took us 'most all day to cross it. I'll bet no lumberman ever tried it twice, 'n' if I wanted to git absolutely way from bein' molested, I'd locate here. I dunno whether we'd best cross 'n' make camp 'mong them ledges or go back into the woods. Guess we'd best go back 'n' take a sneak round behind the ledge. I noticed a loggin leadin' up that way 'fore we left the swamp." But now something was discovered that proved Old Cy's wisdom, for as they, charmed somewhat by the spot, yet feeling it forbidding, still glanced up and down the bold shore just across, suddenly a thin column of smoke rose from away to the right, amid the bare ledges. First a faint haze, rising in the still air, then a burst of white, until the fleecy pillar was plainly outlined as it ascended and drifted backward into the green forest. HAD TO KEEP DATE • i • " « * * * • CHAPTER XIV. Old Cy was, above all, a peaceable man, and while curiosity had led him to follow the trail of this robber and to cross this vast swamp, now that he . saw the suggestive smoke sign, he I hesitated about venturing nearer. I "I guess we'd best be keerful," he I whispered to Ray, "or we may wish we had been. I callate our pirate friend's got a hidin' spot over thar, 'n' most likely don't want callers. He may be only a queer old trapper a little short o" scruples ag'in' takin' what he finds, 'n' then a g i n he may be worse'n that. His campirf* spot's ag'in him, anyhow." But the sun was now very low; a camp site must soon be found, and scarce two minutes from the time he saw this rising column of smoke, Old Cy dipped his paddle and slowly drew back into the protecting forest. Once well out of sight, the canoe was turned and they sped back down-stream and into the swamp once more. Here he turned aside into a lagoon they had passed, and at its head they pulled their canoe out into the bog. The two gathered up their belongings, and picking their way out of the morass, reached the belt of hard bottom skirting the ridge. They were now out of sight from the lake, but still too near the stream to risk a camp-fire, and so Old Cy led the way along this belt until a more secluded niche in the r i i g e was reached, and here they began camp-making. That night was the longest ever passed by Ray, for not until near morning did he fall into a fitful slumber, and scarcely had he lost himself before Old Cy was up and watchiag for the dawn. Its first faint glow was visible when Ray's eyes opened, and without waiting for fire or breakfast, they started for the top of the ridge. From here a curious sight met their eyes, for the lake and also the ridges out of which the smoke had risen were hidden beneath a white pall of fog. Back of them also, and completely coating the immense swamp, was the same sea of vapor. It soon vanished with the rising sun, and just as the ledge across the lake outlined themselves, once more that smoke sign rose aloft. And now the two watchers could better see whence it came. Old Cy had expected to obtain sight of some hut or bark shack nestling among these rocks; but none was visible. Instead, the smoke rose out of a jagged rock, and there was not a cabin roof or sign of one anywhere. "That feller's in a' cave," he whispered to Ray, "an* the smoke's comin' out. o' a crac*k, sure's a gun!" It seemed so. and for a half-hour the two watched it in silent amazement. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

And His Friend, a Man of Peace, Ac cempanied Him to the Scene of Combat, Greatly to His Discomfiture. "I like a methodical man," said an uptown rounder, "but my friend whose den is opposite to the one where I loiter Is excessive in this line. "He asked me to dine with him, and I accepted. We went at it leisurely. We got down to the foot of the menu loafing all the way. As usual he was placid. We had just reached pie and dcmltasse when he asked me rather suddenly the day of the month. I had it handy. " 'And the day of the week?' he asked. And I handed him that. Then he looked at his watch. " Y o u won't mind, old man," he said, 'if I tell you that I must go.' "J told him if it was a matter of any moment I would consent, but with regret. 1 knew he was absentminded. " 'This is the day,' he continued, shoving back his glass aud using his napkin hurriedly, 'when I promised to give Blinky a good thrashing. I had forgotten it when 1 asked you to dine. You'll excuse me, old man, won't you?' "For his own sake, as well as my own pleasure, I asked him if he couldn't postpone the fistic affair until later. " 'It can't be put off,' he replied. 'I know exactly where he will be within 40 minutes, and I prefer to lick him at that place.' " 'Then,' I replied, 'I'll go with you.' "He got under headway first and was on the sidewalk before I got my top coat buttoned. Then he called a motor car and giving the chauffeur the number he told him to take a back street and let out at top speed. "On the way he talked about nearly everything except fighting. He even told me of a contemplated trip to the far east. He burned up a box of cigarettes before the car halted in front of the place in which he said the enemy had his office. "I asked if I had not better go in with him. He thanked me, but declined the offer. " 'It won't take long,' he said, 'and if might not be pleasant for a third party. You hold the car till I come out.' "As he disappeared I felt a clammy ooze gaThering on my brow, aud removed my hat. I looked at my watch every minute. I never knew time to drag as it did while I sat in that car. I will never know how long I sat there. "I remember a figure coming out of the doorway. It had changed some since it had gone in. 1 leaped out of the car and approached my friend. "He said he wasn't hurt, but I quickly saw that he had been up against it. If I ever concoct a striking transformation scene for a stage I'll put in a scene like that for a thriller. " 'Would you like to see him—the other fellow?" asked my friend. "I don't know what made me say that. I would dote on such a sight. Quicker than a wireless message he grabbed me by the arm and rushed me up the stairway to the office of the enemy. "My friend opened the door. I stuck my head through the aperture Biff! Just like that! The next thing I remembered I was in the car. My friend was holding something under my nose. "He apologized for the suggestion h«' had made and which resulted in my emerging from the situation in a worse plight than himself. No mon> methodical fracas for me, thank you." —N. Y. Sun. Took Advantage of Czar's Hobby. Peter the Great particularly delight ed in drawing teeth, and he strictly enjoined his servants to send for him when anything of that sort was to be done. One day his favorite valet de chambre seemed very melancholy; the czar asked him what was the mat ter. "Oh, your majesty," said the man, "my wife is suffering the greaiesr agony from toothache, and she obstinately refuses to have the tooth taken out." "If that is all," said Peter, "we will soon cure it; take me to her at once." When they arrived, the worn an declared that she was not suffering at all; there was nothing the matter with her. "That Is the way she talks, your majesty," said the valet; "she is suffering tortures." "Hold her head and hands," said the czar; "I will have it out in a moment." And he instantly pulled out the indicated tcoth with great dexterity, amid profuse thanks from the husband. What was Peter's indignation to discover a little later that his valet had used him as an executioner to punish his wife, who had never had an unsound tooth in her head.—San Francisco Argonaut •r 3 'A t 8 - .

The word suppleness scarcely does justice to.the new models, particularly the skirts. They must cling to the figure, and the woman who wears them must have no hips.

Under the skirts only one petticoat of thin material is allowed in addition to the FOR UP-TO-DATE PORTIERS. 8oft Quality of Moreen the Most Effective Yet Devised. Moreen Is one of the latest fabrics to be used for portlers or heavy curtains. A soft quality must be secured, as, of course, a stiff weave of the material would hang in ungraceful lines. The moire effect is very fashionable Just now in wall hangings of all sorts, and the moreen will be found quite as effective as watered silk for this purpose. The only advantage of silk is, In fact, the softnoss of the folds. If <care is exercised in the selection of t h e proper quality, the moreen will serve equally well in this regard. To make the portieres full and rich they should be lined and even interlined. For the latter purpose a cheap canton flannel will do or any old curtain material which has been in use, provided it is very soft and not too bulky. The main thing is that it should have no unevenness whatever. The lining may be of soft silk, sateen, satin or sllkoline. The curtains may be in any shade which is harmonious with the room, but In cream, deep ivory or dull greens or blues the material is at its best. These curtains are suitable for rooms the walls of which are hung with satin or brocade or with fine satin finished paper. For drawing rooms and similarly elaborate aparlments they are entirely in place. For libraries, dining rooms, etc., rep curtains are very fashionable. They are used in all the old rep colors, dull wine color and dark green being the favorites. Usually they are trimmed with wide bands of figured material, which are set in as a border. For bedrrjoms where they can be harmoniously employed the favorite portieres are made of delicately flowered chintz, usually having a white or light tinted background, with scattered flowers and a more heavily flowered border which goes across the bottom and up the sides.

The gown of a alight princes* effect is still popular, and one in rather modifled lines is shown to-day. The soft draping of the waist lends becoming Hues to the thin girl, and the model combines the new mousquetalre sleeve now so much worn. For a woman of medium slse 1; would require about 15 yards of silk, 18 inches wide, for the body of the dress, while for the drapery on the waist and sleeves it would require about three yards of double width chiffon or net. You cannot make a gown in these days with a small pattern. It is essentially a season of elaborateness and detail, both of which consume goods. A short pattern will make you a stinted dress that will look passe the first time yuu put it on. The reign of the jumper has been sung, and while we are told that the kimono sleeve will last, we welcome something that Is a relief from tho regulation cut, and one which will still give us the long-shoulder effect. Bretelles of various designs bid fair to become popular, and they have the double advantage of being fashionable and at the same time becoming. The stouter woman should cling to the eton in modified lines, while the extremely thin girl should select a loose jacket on the kimono order. It is really a great art to know just what style is becoming to your particulai figure, and this comes only from ex perience. One of the best dressed women of New York never wears any thing but a toque that is very high .on one side and falls very low on the forehead. She is a woman who has millions at her command, but says that she has tried every known style of millinery and this is the only one that becomes her, and hence she never changes just to be in fashion at the cost of hei beauty. It is a good general rule to go by. Select things that are becoming rather than those at the height of fashion, always keeping within bounds of general styles. In these days of many models this is easily accomplished, for the long graceful lines now in prevalence are generally becoming. A woman must spend only a little time and thought on the selection of that particular cut most becoming to a particular figure. DAINTY JACKET OF MUSLIN. Late Home Goer Undiriy Alarmed by 8uipicious Character. He climbed off the car out in East Cleveland the other night, or, to ba exact, the other morning, and proceeded toward his modest little home down a pretty side street. As soon us he reached the sidewalk he tried to walk along the edge and ascertain if he was still able to navigate along a straight line. "I'm th' only man that wuz in the bunch t'night that c'n walksh straight's that," he muttered to himself, with pardonable pride when he found that he could move along flrat-rate. A moment later he aaw a suspicious- looking man following him. "That fellesh goln' t' try V rob muh," he muttered. He felt in his trousers pocket and found only a crumpled two-dollar bill, but it waB all he had left after the evening's entertainment, and he didn't want to lose it. Then he reflected that probably the stranger following him wasn't thinking of robbing him at all. But to make sure that they didn't have anytrouble he crossed the street. A minute later he looked about. The man behind him had crossed over, too. Once again the man with the twodollar bill crossed the Btreet. He hated to look around for a time, lest his fears be substantiated. When he did turn his head his pursuer was not far behind him. He had crossed the street again. The man ahead clutched tightly hi^ two-dollar bill, dear to him because It was all that remained of what had been a roll the size of a blacksmith's forearm, and started to cross over once more, for he happened to think that he lived on the other side of the street anyhow, but he hadn't reached the middle of the sttreet when he looked back and noted that his pursuer was also crossing over. He stopped right there, pulled out j his two-dollar bill and watch and held them out toward the man behind him. "Here's all I've got, old man," says he, now perfectly sobered by his fright. "Take it, but lemme alone, My wife's worried about me anyway, and if I go into the house with my face bunged up I'll get thrown out." "Why, you darn fool!" grunted the other man as he brushed on by, ' I ' m the man that goes around to turn out the street lights." — Cleveland Plai' Dealer.

Mr. William Hardy Kent, who died the other day in Eastbourne, in Eng lish Sussex, had the reputation of be ing the oldest photographer in the world. He died at the age of 88. Hf was of New England birth, and New Bedford was his home, until about 1846 he learned the art of photography, and in 1848 he opened a small studio in New York, where by the year 1854 he had gained a consider able fortune. He then went over to London, where he opened three pho tographic studios, one in Oxford street, one in Regent street and an Other at Knights bridge. At the time of his death he was still op erating a photograph gallery at East bourne, and he had similar studios at the seaside resorts of Brighton and Hastings, at New castle and H a r r o gate.

Success Which Haa Followed the Adoption of Scholarship Plan. The writer has spent some 27 years on the mission field, and has either. tried or seen tried many of the usual schemes for securing the attontiou of uative Af- ^A rlcan children and winning them into the Christian life. Moral suasion is good, just, as far as it will go. In- African Mission dustrlal missions Chapel. are excellent, just so far as the mission has the cash to the bills. The best method, open to every mission, is to take the child out of the heathen home and plant it in a Christian homo, whore it soon learns to believe in the Gospel. Believing this, the child is seldom at reBt till the other members of the family are also in possession of this great happiness. For 15 years we tried the usual methods, and met with indifferent success. For the last ten years we have followed the scholarship plan, and have doubled cur output of profitable fruitago every year during that entire period. Churches in the homeland that have accomplished so much are rare indeed. We had nine members some nine years ago and we have over 1,200 now, while there is an average of more than 50,000 outside people reached per month. How is this all accomplished? The children do pretty much the whole of it. It is most interesting to found a station and watch results, which almost Immediately appear. A teacher is found—not a learned man at all; but he is good as far as the beginning of addition, and he can read hesitatingly In the Testament only; but he can preach like Niagara! Lots of noise, much volume, and here and there a good bit of truth. He is married. He is given money to sustain 15 little mission children as soon as he can secure them. In six months he has them. They are allowed all the little visits home they choose to make; and every time they go, they preach by their clothing, their quiet manners and their avoiding the purely heathen, all of which, though they speak not a word of their religion, teaches most powerfully. If they talk of their faith, as most do, they will the sooner bring brothers, sisters, couslnotf-aunts and the whole connection to the mission station. This inevitably-follows in the regular course of events.—E. H. Richards, in Christian Herald. NEW F I E L D OF WORK. Evangelists Being Sent to Great Prairie Land of Western Canada. A recent enterprise for giving evangelists to the Great Prairie Land in Western Canada, is that of Archdea con George Lloyd, who first entered the Saskatchewan country in 1903, at the time when emigration there from Canada began. Since that time a railway has helped to open the country, and more than thirty missions have been established. About a year ago Archdeacon Lloyd returned to England to secure a band of Prairie evangelists, and has now returned to his field with a numerous band of men to serve as catechists, each in charge of from one to two hundred square miles of territory, where they are to open centers of worship. Five ladies have also volunteered as deaconesses for work with women and children. A Blessed Work. About 18 months ago the missionaries of the London Missionary society commenced work among the "Kurav ers," a wild people in South India, and 61 pne of them have recently been baptized. Rev. William Robinson writes: "So far as I know, these Kuravers are the first of their tribe to be baptized In any mission. They have such tenacity of will that they are not at. all likely to revert, whatever may happen. I have to-day weon another company of Kuravers. They ask for a teacher and a school, a.»d their headman says they are dettir mined to worship tho God whom we present to them." Arabs Baptized. Uev. J. C. Young of the Scotch Presbyterian Mission in Arabia, writes ,*rom Sheikh Othman: "Last Sunday I admitted into the Christian church, through the rite of baptism, six person ;, all Arabs, one of whom was Sal«h Hassan, a man of education atul position.

' ' ' ^ (From Detroit Newt.) "Ecsema, tetter, ringworm and other akin, diseases are spreading," says Dr. J. E. Currier in the Doctor's Guide, writing about a new and wonderfully successful cure for akin affections, "I apply plain pure cJtrox, dissolved in hot water, twice a day.

It will interest women to learn that this well-known drug's value for skin diseases was discovered accidentally by the doctor's wife. Served Accordingly. At a men's cafe one night a young American—a barber—fell in with an Englishman. The latter was berating the^ Yankees for doing all manner, of business in their shops and not following the better English plan of sticking to one branch. The next day he swaggered into the barber shop to be shaved. The barber gave his face an extra good soaping and left him, at the same time seating himself to read. The Englishman kept quiet for a few minutes, when, seeing his attendant reading, he blurted out: "Why don't you shave me, sir?" "You will have to go up the street for your shave," quietly replied the barber. "We only lather here." "Not for Vacation Use.

BOTH GAINED Man and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts. The notion that meat is necessary for real strength and the foundation of solid flesh is no longer as prevalent as formerly. Excessive meat eaters are usually sluggish a part of the time because they are not able to fully digest their food, and the undigested portion is changed into what is practically a kind of poison that acts upon the blood and nerves, thus getting all through the system. "I was a heavy meat eater," writes an Ills, man, "and up to two years ago, was In very poor health. I suffered with indigestion so that I only weighed 95 pounds.

The uew custom house Ih New York, begun In 3900, has been completed at a cost of $7,200,000. It covers the entire block between Whitehall street and State street, running from Bowling Green to Bridge street. Its street faces are adorned with splendid pieces of sculpture typifying commerce, and its main court, or rotunda, is one of the largest spanned by a single root. The interior fittings are ornate and disuihed, as is befitting in a public building belonging to a rich and populous country. About two-thirds of the customs revenue ot" tho country is paid over the desks of the collector of Now York. The remaining one-third is collected in the more than 140 other collection districts. An elaborately etjuipp;'d suite of offices has been provided in the building for the use of the secretary of tho treasury on his ofUelal visits to New York. Other suites are set apart for the weather bureau, the naval bureau, the civil service board, the isthmian canal commission, the secret service department and soma other branches of tho national government that have to use offices in New York. But, saya the Youth's Companion, they all together occupy much less space than that devoted to thy use of the various branches of the tariff collection service.

The iron clad warship is only 45 years old, yet, passing through a process of swift evolution to its present perfection, this American discovery has revolutionized the science of naval warfare throughout the whole world. There are now 270 vessels In commission in the United S t a t * navy where at one time, in Washington's administration, there was not one. Of these there are 13 battleships of the first and second class, carrying guns into whose mouth this country's first and only "commander-in-chief of the navy," Esek Hopkins, might easily have hidden his disgraced head when an outraged continental congress summarily dismissed him. It was in Hampton Roads that the first chapter in the world's history of iron clads war, written. It was in Hampton Roads that the nation gathered 16 of her finest sea fighters ready for a trip of nearly 20,000 miles. W f a r e the Merrimac swung clumsily acroaa t h e channel long ago and drove terror to the hearts of seamen who had never yet seen such a monster, Iron clads as graceful and as swift as greyhounds have come and gone all summer until they have become a familiar sight. Among these Is the Minnesota, the largest of Uncle Sam's big battleships, and next only in size to the Dreadnaught, which King Edward of England launched with such ceremony a year or go ago, and to the Satsuma, Japan's new monster of deep. id, save tfves of \* History of American Navy.

However, that congress appropriated $700,- 000 with which to build six frigates. Among these were the Constitution, now the oldest ship afloat under any flag, and a training ship for apprentices at Portsmouth. With this fleet and its later auxiliaries Decatur taught the rulers of Algiers and Tripoli a stern lesson, and America soon took her place among the naval powers of the world, a place which none disputed after her victories over Great Britain in 181,2-IS 15. Quick Work of Preparation. The president issued the orders for the sailing of this fleet on August 2,1, and since then coal mines, railways, provision dealers, and manufacturers oi heavy ordnance and ammunition have known the busiest season thoy have had since the Spanish-American war. Altogether 35 vessels go to San Francisco, and when all have assembled in the waters off the coast, of California, "Fighting Hob" Evans will have under his command the largest, most invincible, tho most perfectly equipped fleet that has ever mobilized in one place since the history of the world began. The aggregate displacement of tho vessels sailing is nearly 42,000 tons, and the aggregate power is ff64 guns of four inch calibre and over. The four divisions of this fleet will carry 581 officers and 11,500 enlisted men, as fine an array.of jackies as any navy has ever known, and an earnest and eager set, too, for as soon as the news of the cruise was noised abroad enlistments increased rapidly throughout the navy and desertions became practically unknown The moaern wife who puzzles for days over the packing of her husband's gripa and lunch basket when ! he is off for a week's hunting trip, can never begi* to appreciate the enormity of Columbia's task in fitting out her 11,500 soas for an outing of 115 days, in which they are not expected to get foot on land at all.

Others will go as far as Rio and return te join the fleet again at Magdalena bay, and all that have free space 'tween deck* will carry general supplies for the Mare Island navy yard. The Connecticut carries 150 tons of briquettes made of slack coal and pitch to test them as a suitable fuel for use in the navy. Tho cost of coaling, exclusive of the amount of coal carried by tho ships from Norfolk to Trinidad, will be $1,220,280, a sum more than eyual to the bonded debt of the state of Idaho or the state of Washington. Provisions in Plenty, AH (O provisions, Columbia must pack enough in the giant hampers to feed her sous for the long 115 days, and have enough extra goodies for Christmas, New Year's and Washington birthday dinners, and tho list shows she has not. been niggardly in her selection. There are a variety of foodstuffs, including tons of cereals, salt meats, dried fruits and canned goods, and 593,300 pounds of flour for making fresh bread in lieu of long anathematized hard tack. There are tons of dessicated foodstuffs that have already been tested and found good, and the more recent additions—dried eggs and dehydrated vegetables. There are 9,000 pounds,.of dried eggs, an equivalent of 36,000 dozen fresh eggs, and when the ChrlBtmas baking is on and the 30,000 fresh eggs also carried are not available, the mixer of cakes will find that t h e dried product when mixed with water will froth as easily as the fresh. New methods of communication between the ships have been installed, and new methods of controlling the Are from the guns. So new is this system of fire control that a retired naval officer was heard to remark when the news came to him: "That is a good idea, a good idea. 1 a m glad to hear it, indeed, for fire is a moat dangerous thing aboard a ship!" The Colorado, was first in this experiment. Wirelea*' telegraphy has been a part of a bat- Heship's equipment for so many year« now that it is quit© an old story, but the fleet decided it must have wireless telephony, too, so the past few weeks have witnessed a busy scene in Hampton Roads, and in New York and Brooklyn harbors, where experts have bren busy putting in the appliances, Connecticut Is Flagthip. .

He said the Republicans had turned down the offer because it was regarded in the nature of a bribe and that Democrats, in view of that circumstauce, could not afford to accept it. Mr. Williams spoke in similar vein, as also did Mr. Clayton. Mr. Taggart advocated the acceptance of the- $100,000, saying it would be needed now even worse than money was needed in 1904 and that at that time it would have been practically impossible to have opened headquarters for Judge P a r k e r if they had not had the extra money secured from St. Louis, where t h e convention was held. A Rough Deal. "I have had a d—n rough deal from the White House." This statement w-as made by Secretary Cortelyou to an old friend. The friend, in repeating it, said: "It almost took me off my feet It was the first time in all my long acquaintance with George Cortelyoir that 1 ever heard him use the word." Cortelyou's remark was made in connection with_ a conversation brought, on by the mention of the president's statement that he would not take another term, but after the first statement of the secretary's a!- most-profanily his friend would not go into details regarding the secretary's talk • & • > « The Japs Were Slow.

Journey of Fri*d>k>*» party into woods to visit lather of Mrs. Krluble, an -old hermit, who has resided in the wilderness for many years. When camp Is broken. Chip and Ray oc- < upy ;;amc canoe. The party reach camp of Mrs. Frisbie's father and are welcomed by hhn und Cy Walker, an old friend and former townsman of the hermit. They settle down for summer's stay. Chip and Ray are in love, but no one realizes this but Cy Walker. Strange canoe marks found on lake shore in front of their cabin. Strange smoke is seen across the lake. Martin and Levi leave for settlement to get officers to arrest MeGuire, who is known as outlaw and escaped murderer. Chip's one woods friend. Tomali, an Indian, visits camp. Kay believes he sees a bear on the vldge. Chip is stolen by Pete Bolduc and escapes wtth her In a canoe. Chip is rescued by Martin and Levi as they are. returning from the settlement. Bolduc escapes. Old Cy proposes to Ray that he remain in the woods with himself and Amzl and trap during the winter, and he concludes to do so. Others of the party return to Oreenvaie, taking Chip with them. Chip starts" to school in Oreenvale, and finds life unpleasant at Au it Comfort's, made so especially by Hannah. Old Cy and Ray discover strange tracks In the wilderness. They penetrate further into the wilderness and discover the hiding place of the man who had been sneaking about their cabin. CHAPTER XIV.—Continued. Then came another surprise, for suddenly Old Cy caught sight of a man just emerging from behind a rock fully ten rods from the rising smoke; he stooped, lifted-a eanoc into view, advanced to the shore, slid it halfway into the water, returned to the rock, picked up a rifle, then pushed the canoe off. and, crossing the lake, vanished into the outlet. The two watchers, on the ridge exchanged glances. "He's goin' to tend his traps, an mebbe oum," Old Cy satd at last, and then led the way back to their bark shack. Here he halted, and placing one hand scoop-fashion over his ear, listened intently until he caught the faint sound of a paddle touching a canoe gunwale. First slightly, then a more distinctive thud, and then less and less until the sound ceased. "The coast's n e a r , : ne added, now in an exultant whisper, "an' while the old cat's away we'll take a peek at his den." A hurried gathering of their few belongings was made, the canoe was shoved into the lagoon, and no time was lost until the lake was crossed and they drew along side of where the smoke wa3 still rising in a thin film. No landing was possible here, for the shore was a sheer face of upright slate, and only where thrs lone trapper had launched hia canoe could they make one. From here a series of outcropping slate ledges rose one above another; and between them and parallel to the Shore, narrow, Irregular passages partially closed by broken rock. It was 411 jif alaty formation, jagged, serrated and gray with moss. Following one of these passages, Old Cy and Ray came to the ledge out of ' Arhich the smoke was rising from a • '•"' iirevasse. It was a little lower than _. < n e . In front, perhaps 40 feet in ^~t f jjreadth, double that in length, and of a more even surface. At each end was a short transverse passage hardly wide enough to walk in, and a few feet deep. And now, after a more careful examination of the crevasse out of which .: | h e thin film of smoke rose, Old Cy %«jkegan a search. Up and down each ^ j t ^ a v r o w passway he peeped and peer- -*- ^ ' # d . but nowhere was a crack or ranny to be found in their walls. In jUces they were as high as his head, •beer faces of slate, then broken, serrated, moss-coated, or of yellow, rusty color. Here»and there a stunted spruce had taken toot i s some crack, and •over, back froia the topmoet ledge, t M i l T W i a a e J o t n r s he*m* and continued up the low mountain, Here, also, In a sunny nook below- this belting tanelo oTswul"* spruce, were ample signs cf 4, t a p p e r ' s occupation in the way of pelts stretched upon forked sticks and savaslug 4rpm a co|ji«r£S8- lng this niche. They were 6f the usua^-epecles found in thi* jsllderaese, —a^ldoaen haujrttrat, witbTa Jew miafc a n d ' o t t e r skins and ojoe lyna. Another sign of human* presence was also noted, for h e r e . * log stowing ax marks, with *±dlt wood and ohin> all about, was seep.. "Some o* t>o,js pejts ia Qurn" qtd Cy ejaculated, glancing at the ac ray, "an' I've a notion we'd, best jbook .an to 'em. Mebbe n o t though,' he added a moment later, "ft might git us Into more trouble." Cut Ray was getting more and more uneasy each moment since they had landed there.- It seemed to him a most dangerou* esplplt, and whUe Old Cy had hunted oyer this curious confusion of slate ledges and stared at the rising film of smoke, Ray had covertly watched, the lake's outlet. "I d o n * think we'd better stay here much longer," he said at last. "We can't tell how soon that man may come back and catch us." "Guess you're right," Old Cy asserted tersely, and after one more look at the inch-wide crack out of which the smoke rose, he led the way to their canoe. "Thar's a cave thar, sure's a gun." he muttered, as they skirted the bold shore once more, "an' thai smoke's comin' out on't. I wish I dared stay here a little longer V hunt fer it." Old Cy was right, there was a cave there beneath the slate ledge—in fact, two caves; and in one, safe and secure, as its owner the notorious Me- Guire believed, 'were concealed the savings of his lifetime. More than that, so near do we often come to an important discovery and miss it, Old. Cy had twice leaned against a slab of slate closing the entrance to this cave and access to a fortune, the heritage of Chip MeGuire. Closed in a Death-Grapple. Ray's fear, while well founded, wore needless, however. MeGuire—for it was this outlaw whom they had ample reason to avoid—was many miles away. And yet so potent was the sense of danger, that neither Old Cy nor Ray thought of footi, or ceased paddling one moment, until they had crossed the vast swamp and once more pulled their canoe out at the point where they had entered it the day before. Here a brief halt for food and rest was taken; than they shouldered their light craft and started for Hirch Camp. In the meantime another canoe was ascending this winding stream, and long before nightfall, Pete Bolduc, sure that he was on the trail of Me- Guire, entered the ledge-bordered lake. CHAPTER XV. To trail an enemy who is never without a rifle and the will to use it, requires courage and Indian cunning aa well. Pete Bolduc had both, and after observing the many signs of a trapper's presence in the swamp, he knew, after he crossed it and reached this laket that somewhere on its shores his enemy, MeGuire, had his lair. He naueed at the outlet, as did-Old Cy, to scan every rod of its rocky shores, not once, but a d o ^ a times. No thought of the blessed harmony of lake, sky, and forest, or the sequestered beauty of this spot, came to the half-breed. Revenge and murder— twin demons of his nature;—were in his heart, and the Indian cunning that made him hide while he watched for signs of his ene<iy. The bare peak overlooking the 4 » ' * Boon impressed him as a vantage SolUt, and after a half-hour of watolAaV Hfetenlng he laid his rifle across t h e t V w a r t , handy h, grasp on the iastaat, i.*d, seizing his paddle once mora, giuspiil the lake to the foot of the gam*, f To hide his csfcfp afe** ascend thl wit* f a * * And r i * M < a J i n e next mo at sheltering crevasse he lay and watched for his enemy. Two hours later, and Just a t sunset* MeGuire returned to the lake. As usual, he, too, paused at the outl e t , to scajkMs shores. H e believed himself utterly secure here, and thought no human being was likely to flitf this l a k e l e t . But for all that, he was watchful. Some exploring lumberman or some pioneer trapper might cross this vast swamp and find this lake during his absence. A brief scrutiny assured him t h a t h e was still safe from human eyes, and he crossed t h e lake. From the bare dlff a alagle keen^ and vengeful eye watched him. As usual, also, MeGuire m a d e his; landing at a, convenient point, some 5$ rods from his care, and carried his canoe, up and turned it over, hack ol a low-jutting ridge of slate. H e skinned the half-dozen prizes his traps had secured that day and followed a shallow defile to his lair. Here his pelts were stretched, a slab of slate was lifted from its position In a deep, v i d e crevaase between two of these ledges, and MeGuire crawled into his den. Most of these movements were observed by the half-breed, who, watching ever while he plotted and planned how best to catch his enemy unawares, saw hiirj emerge from amid the ledges again, go down to the lake, return with d pail of water, and vanish once more. All this was a curious proceeding, for he, like Old Cy, had expected to find MeGuire occupying some bark shelter, and even now he supposed there was one among this confusion of bare rocks. Another surprise soon came to this distant watcher, for he now Baw a thin column of smoke rise from a ledge and continue in varying volumne until hidden by twilight. And now, secure in his cave and quite unconscious of the watcher with murderous intent who had observed his actions, MeGuire was- enjoying himself. He had built a little slate fireplace within his cave. * A funnel of the same easily fitted material carried the smoke up to a long, inch-wide fissure in the roof. He had a table of slate to eat from, handy by a bed filled with moss and dry grass, also pine knots for needed light. Opening into this small cave was a lesser one, alwajls cool and dry, for no rain nor melting snow could enter it, and here was McGuire's pantry, and here also a hutf-dozen tin cans, safely hidden under a slab of slate, stuffed with gold and banknotes. To still further protect this inner cave he had fitted a section of slate to entirely fill its entrance. When the last vestige of sunset had vanished and twinkling stars were reflected from the placid lake, the halfbreed descended from hjs lookout point, and, launching his canoe, followed close to the shadowed shore and landed just above where MeGuire disembarked. Indian that ho,was, he chose the hours of night and darkness to crawl up to the bark shelter which he expected to find, his intention being to thrust a rifle muzzle close to his enemy's head and then pull the trigger. But to do this required a long wait and extreme caution. His enemy surely had a camp-fire behind a \cdge, and shelter as well. The smoke had seemed to rise out of a ledge, but certainly could not, and so—still unaware of McGuire's position, yet sure that he was amid these ledges, and near a shelter—Pete grasped his rifle and crept ashore. It was too early to surprise his enemy—time to fall asleep must be allowed. Yet so eager was the halfbreed to deal death to him, that he must needs come here to wait. No chances must be taken when he did crawl up to his victim, for a false step or the rattle of a loose stone, or his form outlined against the starlit sky as he crawled over a ledge, might mean death to him Instead of MeGuire. And so, crouching safely in a dark nook above the landing, Pete waited, watched and listened. One hour passed—it seemed two— and then the half-breed crept stealthily up to where the smoke had been seen. Not by strides, or even steps, but as a panther would, lifting one foot and feeling where it would rest and then another, and all the while listening and advancing again. It was McGuire's habit, while staying here, to look at the weather prospects each night, and also to obtain a drink of cool water before going to sleep. Often when the evenings were not too cold, he would sit by the lake shore for a half-hour, smoking and watching its Btarlit or moon-glittering surface, and listening to the calls of night prowlers. -' . In spite of being an ovtj&W, devoid of moral nature, and one 'Mso preyed upon his fellow-man. h e WA» not<without sentiment, and the w t i ^ g f t A d e a r of these enclosing aM&ntawCr-and the sense of security they^Mtave, were pleasant to him. H i t ^ 0 » had been a harsh and brutal <mf. ate had dealt in man's lust aad w e t at liquor. He measured all htjBjjgfcktad hy his own standard of riatJtpeji « r o n g , and bet h a t he flMNRal Oslifcs or they would so long as he rived. H e felt that every man's hand was against him, and no repreaofae* of conscience had resulted from his cold-blooded kill* lug of an officer. Never once die the thought return of t h e lew years v hen a woman's mind sought his in tenderness, nor any sense of the unspeakable horror he had decreed for his own child. So Tile ft. wretch seemed unfit for God's green earth; and yet the silence of night beside this lake, and the stars mirrored on its motionless surface, soothed and satisfied him. * He had now and then another impulse— to some day take his savings of many years, secreted here, and go to, some other country, assume another name, and lead a different life. And now, while- an unsuspected enemy was waiting for him to enter a sleep t h a t should know no waking, he left his cave and seated himself on a shelf-like projection close to the lake, which was deep here, and the ledge shore a sheer face rising some ten feet above the water. One hour e r more this strange compound of brute and toan sat there contemplating t h e stars, and then he suddenly detected a sound—only a faint one. the mere click of one pebble striking smother. He arose and listened. Soon another soft, crashing sound reached him. Some animal creeping along in the passage between the ledges, he thought. He stepped quickly to the end of the shelf. On that instant a crouching form rose upward and confronted him. Ko had one moment onj^, but enough to see a tall man a step below him, the next a flash of spitting fire, a stinging pain in one shoulder, and this human panther leaped upon MeGuire! But life was sweet, even to MeGuire, and as he grasped and struck at this enemy in a blind instinct of self-preservation as both closed in a death grapple, one instant of awful agony came to him as a knife entered his heart—a yell of" rttinglcd hate and deadly fear, as two*'oodles writhed on the narrow shelf, a plunging sound, as both struck the water .below—and then silence. Death and vengeance were clasped in one eternal embrace. WILL N01 BE k * « . ( , CHAPTER XVI. For two months life at Birch Camp much resembled that of a woodchuek or a squirrel. Now and then a day came when the crusted snow permitted a gum-gathering trip into the forest, or a few midday hours at ice fishing; atid never were the first signs of spring more welcome than to those winter-bound prisoners. The wise counsel and patient example of Old Cy had not been lost upon Hay, either; and that winter's experience had changed him to an almost marvelous degree. He was no longer a moody and selfish boy, thinking only of his own privations, but. more of a man, who realized that he had duties and obligations toward others, as well as himself. With the tot tuning sun and vanishing snow, animal life was o*ee more astir, and a short season of trapping was again entered upon, and mingled with that a few days more of gumgathering. If was brief and at a disadvantage, for ice still covered the lake, and until that disappeared no use of the canoes could bo made. Once well under way, however, spring returned with speed, the brooks began to overflow, the lake to rise, and one morning, instead of a white expanse of watery ire, it was a blue and rippled lake once more. And now plans for Ray's return to Greenvalp were in order, and the sole topic of discussion. He was as eager as a boy anxious for the close of school, and for a double reason, which is self-evident. It was agreed that Old Cy and himself should make the trip out together in two canoes, and convey their stores of gum and firs. At the settlement these were to be packed, to await later sale and shipment. Old Cy would then return to camp, and Ray would go on to Greenvale. A change in this plan came in an unexpected manner, however, for a few days before the one set for departure, Old Cy, always on watch, saw a canoe enter the lake, and who should appear but Levi, Martin's old guide. -"I've been cookln' up at a lumber camp on the Moosehorn," he explained, after greetings had been exchanged, "an* I thought I would make ft trip up here an' call on ye 'fore I went out." 0*0 UK CONTINUED.) •' -^"K '-'it1 Cargoes Worth a Fortune.

STANDS BY THE RECORD Ths Announcement Is Short and Unequivocal, Leaving No Chance for Further T a l k on t h e Subject All doubt as to President Roosevelt's attitude on the third term question was dispelled by his positive statement that he is not a candidate for a third term. The president, it is stated, had awaited the formal issuance of the call for the next Republican national, convention before destroying all doubt as to a possible change in his attitude since his famous announcement following hia election in 1904. It is believed that for some time Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock, Internal Revenue Commissioner Capers and southern Republican leaders have been booming things in the south to secure Roosevelt delegates and throw them to Cortelyou later. The president, it is said, believed all along that his boom in the south was founded on good faith and he could not very well quarrel about it. But when he found it was a political makeshift he decided to kill it quickly, and did so with his announcement which follows: On the night after election I made the following announcement: "I am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people In thus expressing their confidence in what I have done and have tried to do. I appreciate to the full the solemn responsibility this confidence Imposes upon me, and I shall do alt that In my power lies not to forfeit it. On the 4th of March next I shall have served three and a half years, and this three and a half years constitute my first term The wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the substance and not the form, and under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination." 1 have not changed and shall not change the decision thus announced A Bloody Revolution. Prof. D. L. Anderson, president of Foo Chow university, w£*-4a California, believes that upoS) t h e death of the empress doWftfler,-~0MM will be the scene of a, bloody revelation. That revolution, he believes will mark China's entrance into the parliament of the world as a power to be reckoned with. Prof. Anderson, who has spent many years in China, says that the people of China are now wide awake to the necessity of education; that the power of the people is steadily growing, and ' that at the same time the populace and its rulers are drifting farther apart" "The younger generation in China." he says, "is acquiring a good education. A revolution is pending. In the nature of things it is bound to be a blQody one. but China will be all the bette,- (or it, and in the h a n d j f f n%w . . and enlightened administrators ^ I J o ^ - - - ^ v will 4iave tha confidence of the people china will be9f>ne of the greatest nations of the earth." •% The Japanese Flood. In spite of the utmost viligance ex ereised by immigration officials along the Mexican border, Japaneae laborers are pouring into the United States by thousands. Within the .'1*51 thre* or four months it is estimated! thfttrsjieariy twenty thousand Japanese laborers have slipped into Texas, New Mexico and Arizonia. and although the most, strenuous efforts are being made to stop tlio steady inflow they continue to come. Administration officials are now trying to devise some scheme that will stop the unwelcome immigration without hurting the feelings of lapan. The result could easily be at tained by placing the Japanese under the same regulations as apply to the Chinese, but this could not be done without recourse to a new treaty with Japan, and consequent tone; 4***?> «* well as perhaps the creatlOS e|^ttH»itt between the two powers. f Storm Wide Spread.

It is necessary for the governor in taking steps to remove the treasurer to move along a well-defined path.

The atck woman, lying on the bed in iihe little pioneer cabin, looked at the white whirl of flakes that shut out, al! tout the gray daylight from the little windows and shuddered. Yes, there was plenty of snow. You could not see even the dimmest, outline of anyt h i n g that was ten feet away. And somewhere out. in the snow—she knew might bring m:1 s.mie present that was light, Hattie?" "Yes, he shall," said Hattie, with determination. She was only the hired girl who had come iu friendly pioneer fashion to help the settler's wife through her sickness; but to the inmates of the little cabin she wan a ministering angel. Strong aud faithful ami efficient, an angel could hardly have clone more in that prairie home. Yet she did not look in the least like an angel as she put on the pioneer's old cap and coat, tied a red woolen scarf around her neck, drew old stockings over her shoes and floundered out through the drifts, stout and rosy in the wind, to do the chores for the night. Not a glimpse of the near by barn could be obtained from the cabin | door. Hattie tied a long rope to the door knob and carefully held the other end as she walked toward it. She knew too well how more than one j pioneer had lost, their way in the \ trackless whiteness at no greater disj tance than this from their homes, and ; been frozen to death. ; She pulled down hay and fed the stock a::d milked. She brought out. she knew that all the time she carried beneath her songs and cheery words a heartache that was as hard to bear as the young wife's own. It was Mark for whom her heart ached. A year ago she had thought that by this time she and Mark would be settle*! in a pioneer cabin of their own. Her quilts were all quilted, her store of household goods was ready, lint a coldness had come between them, and Mark had gone away— not where—her husband was journey- j p a n s f l l H o f t h n B B 0 W w a t e r Bhf, h a ( ] >£; («* ."'i^r* tit.'' . ,f W *v ing.

Was he out in this dreadful blizzard, perhaps freezing to death at this very minute. She turned away from the window and moaned. She could not bear to answer the child. But Hattie, the hired girl, who never seemed to lose heart, answered cheerily: "Land sakes, yes, there is plenty of ?now, Llllie. But you know Santa Claus Is getting old. Tie can drive in the snow of course, but a howling blizzard like this might freeze him " " You'd better make up your mot to get any Christ niaa ores 9Mvrm^pmi); - jam w^uftn't / T t i S i t y k t * Claui frotttt to death."

You j know, when we en me. we got stuck in ; the Bioughs lots of times and papa ' unloaded the wagon and got it across '. empty. Don't you think Santa Claus could do that?" | "But If he unloaded his sleigh he couldn't bring you any Christmas present*." , \ "Oh, be could Just take out the) Aeavy things. Don't you think he i melted in the big wash boiler for them to drink. She brought in a great, supply of fuel and made everything outdoors and in as snug and cheery as possible. Then she cooked the supper—that did not take long for there; was little to cook—and washed up the dishes and cared for the sick woman and the little babe. She put Lillle to bed in the queer little trundle-bed—the child chattering about Santa Claus every minute—and tucked her in as happy as if there were no fear or anxiety in the world; oh, what would the pioneer families have done without the "girls" of that time? The mercury ranged i and f> degrees below zero. The storm outside howled with the fury of a legion of demons. In some drift out. there in the whiteness John Carver might, be sinking to death now. The baby cried and the sick woman moaned. There was no lack of occupation for the young helper. Hattie's strong arms held the child till it was quieted and at the same time heated flannels, brought water, smoothed pillows, and did everything that could bo done for the anxious young mother. "Hattie. you haven't anything to worry you," cried the sick woman, enviously. Not a thing except what worries other people,' answered H<Mfc% Efo "back es.st where girls were plenty." Since then she had been learning to live without him and it was a bitter lesson. True she did not speak of it, not even to her best friends, but the ache was always there. Her work was done at, last. She had time to look at little Lillie slumbering in J/ier low trundle-bed with her stocking spread out trustingly on the pillow beside her. Xow was the | time for Santa, Claus to come. Hut the sick mo! her was too ill and broken I with anxiely to be bothered. There was nobody to fill that stocking but Hattie, and nothing to fill it, with except what her girl's wit, might devise. She was very tired. All day she had been battling against storm and sickness, doing a wotman's work and a man's too. Now she must do Santa Claus' work. Was ever a Santa Claus so slceny? Oh, what would she not give to throw herself on the bed, dressed as she was, and sleep? Hut there was no time for that. Santa Claus must, c»me to the waiting child. She knew that in a little while the sick woman would rouse again and need her. Softly and wearily she lift*, ed the one little drop-leaf table oveM' to the window farthest from the sick mother and placed the lamp upon it. Then she got. out her precious, diminishing store of letter paper that had to be brought to her from 6 miles away, — and came to Smith's farm. Craver— too badly frozen—lo go on.

And he brought me this." She held up the precious paper doll family. "Aren't they lnbhiy. I fought he covdd get froo with a light. load." Then another thought came to her. "Htif he didn't bring anyfing to you. Hattie. That's loo bad." "No, no, it's as good as it could he." Hattie laughed out in pure joy. "He brought me the one thing 1 wanted most in the world. And I shall be thankful to him every day I live; for if T had not kept my lamp burning in the window while I was working— I mean waiting for him—Mark woulc* not have found the way." Willing to Prove It. The Christinas spirit, warmed the old lady's heart, and she said to the tattered, shivering tramp: "If I give you a nickel how can I be sure that you won't go straight off and get. intoxicated with it?" "Madam," the man answered, pointing to the laurel-decked corner saloon, "it would give me great pleasure to afford you practical demonstration that the sum isn't enough for the purpose."

Taylor went to Chelsea Tfcuraday to serve papers In bankruptcy on 8tate Treasurer Frank, p. Gleaier. The action was forced Wednesday afternoon by the Detroit creditors, who met and appointed Bernard B. Selling, of Detroit, attorney of record in the pro* ceedings. Involuntary proceedings were filed by Mr, Selling in the United States district court Thursday' morning. The creditors interested include all of the Detroit banks *hich hold Qlssier's paper. This action baa. been expected in Chelsea1 ever since the Glasier Stove Co. directors met two weeks ago and refused to voluntarily ask jtor s receiver. The creditors believe that Glasier's. affairs are in such a tangle between the banks of Detroit and in Stockbridge and the stove company that the only way his affairs c a n b e straightened out is to nave a receiver d o l t It is believed that Glasier will light the proceedings when he is able. Depositors in the Glasier- bank fn Stockffridge, which closed when the Glasier crash came two weeks ago, will not receive over 50 per cent. This is apparent in the statement filed by Receiver Dancer at Lansing. .It shows that the resources of the bank amount to $309,045.97, of which almost half, $140,ift8.39, is in bills receivable, and of this amount Glasier was either directly or indirectly responsible for $114,000. Glasier personally borrowed only $50,000, but tbe remainder was borrowed through hie manipulations by the members of hl> family and close friends. Glazier's persons! loan is secured by two life insurance policies of $5Qy- a j j - j Q t 000 each. One is straight life and the other a 20-year endowment. The first, while Mr. Glazier Is alive, is valueless, and the other has a cash-vatae^-of but $3,250, as it has 17, years to run. All of which makes K appesr that the depositors of this bank would fate no better by the recovery of Mr. Ola*- ier. The loans, to Glazier's friends and family are secured by stove company stock, which has a problematical value. ,y% Therefore on the face,4of katngs tne people who are depositors in the bank, among whom are practically 9very business man and farmer !:• that vicinity, cannot expect to secure more than half of their money and the greater part of this intt for some time, as it will be months before the affairs can be entirely straightened out. Among the assets of the bank is, $15,000 deposited in the Chelsea bank, and there are also minor accounts which are tied up. In closing his statement to the depositors Mr. Dancer says: "This is my very best judgment at this a time in regard to all of these matters. I have no doubt but that time will show that I have been mistaken in many particulars** hut I feel that you would rather know what I think about it now even though my judgment may not prove to be correct In all the details." It is very likely that a dividend of 10 per cent will be declared at once. The statement of Mr. Dancer came as a distinct shock to the depositors in the village, as it had been confidently expected that the bank would pay almost dollar for dollar. The news has not yet percolated among the farmers to any great extent, but those who have come into town are angry at the way the bank was run. "We were rather surprised," said Dr. c. Brogan, president of the village, "as it was supposed the bank was in much better shape/But we must make the best of it. It all depends, apparently, on how things turn out' in Chelsea just what the bank win pay." "We have tried to be perfectly fair in estimating the resources of the bsnk," said Mr. Dancer. "Of course, things are In such shape that It wiU be a long time before just what will be realised will h° known. Mach depends on the outcome of the recttrei> ship of the Chelsea bank.

When mutual experiences and their winter's history had been exchanged, of course Chip's rescue, the half* bread's escape, and the whereabouts her rather came up for discussion evening. "I've heard from Tim's Place two or ree times this winter;" said Levi, an' neither Pete nor old McGuire has been seen or heard on since early last fall. Pete got thar all safe, but vowed revajste) on McGuire, as Martin and I n we went out. He stayed or so, I heard later, and for his cabin on the Fox since then hain't never been or heard of by nobody.

And it was true. By midwinter Martin's new house was all furnished, and social obligations began to interest Angle, which made matters all the worse for Chip, for now Hannah could persecute her with lese danger of- exposure. But Chip was hard to persecute. She hdd known adversity in its worst form. Her life at Tim's place had been practical-slavery, and the worst that Hannah could do waa as pin pricks compared to it. [ It is certain, also, if Chip had "spunked up," as Hannah would call ft, now and then, it would have been better for her; but it wasn't Chip's way. To work and suffer in silence had been her lot at Tim's Place. Angle had said, "You must obey everybody and make friends," and impelled by experience, and this somewhat broad order, Chip was doing her best. One hope cheered her all that long, hard winter of monotonous study—the return of Ray, and possibly Old Cy, when summer came.' Somehow these two had knit themselves into her life as no one else had or could. Then she wondered how Ray would seem to and feel toward her a hen he came, and If the little bond—a wondrous strong one, as far as her feelings went— would still call him to her side. It had all been a beacon of hope to her in the uphill road toward the temple of learning; and how haed aha had studied, and how" patiently she bad tried to correct her own speech, not even her teacher guessed. It is also possible, In fact almost certain, that that unfortunate waif's somewhat pitiful tale had won her teacher's interest and affection as naught else could. Only one reservation was made by Chip—her own feelings toward Ray. All else became an open book to Miss Phlnney. . When school was out, the two walked homeward together as far as their ways permitted, and then Chip obtained the one hour of the day which she felt was quite her own. At first, during the autumn days, she had used it for a scamper through the nutbrown woods. When winter came and it was not too cold, she occasionally visited the mill pond above the village, where, if the conditions were right all the skating and sliding youth were gathered; and when blessed spring returned, it was away to the hills and fields once more. On Saturdays she seldom left the house, unless sent on an errand, and Sunday became a day o( penance. And now, when the flowers and birds had once more returned to Greenvale, and Ray might return any day, a little plan that Chip had had in mind for many weeks took shape. She knew Ray must come on the stage, and eager for a sight of his face as only love can make one, she meant ta be the first to meet and greet him. A mile down the village street and beyond the last houaavaas a sharp hilltop.

During all the long weeks while Chip had awaited her lover's coming, one hope had been hers—that bis return would end all her loneliness and begin a season of tha happy, care-free days like those by the lake once more, Por the first few moments after U« kissed her upraised lips, she could not speak for very joy; and then, aa hand ia hand they started toward the village, her speech came. "I've been so lonesome," she said simply, "I've counted tha days, and come down here to meet you dairy, for over a month. I don't like it here, and nobody likes me, I guess. Pm so glad' you've come, though. Now I shan't be. lonesome no more. I've studied hard*, too," she added, with an accent of pride. "1 can read and spall words of six syllables. I've ciphered up to decimal fractions, an' begun grammar. "I'm glad to get home, too," an/fr swered Ray, as simply. "It waa lonesome In the woods all winter, when we couldn't tend the trans. But I've made a lot of money—'most five hundred dollars—all mine, too. How is everybody?" And so they dropped from sentiment into commonplace. At the tavern he secured his belongings. At the corner where their ways parted, he bade Chip a light good-by, and with an "I'll see you Boon," left her. Her hero had arrived. They had met, kissed as lovers should, and the lonely waiting and watching days were at an end and a new life was to begin for Chip. Little did she realize what It would mean for her, or how utterly her hopes were to fail.

And what a propitious and all-favoring evening it was! The June night was balmy. Blooming lilacs and syringat half hid, as well as adorned, the porch of Aunt Comfort's home. Aunt Comfort had just departed to make a call, Hannah was away at prayer meeting, and "no one nigh to hinder." But Chip waited in vain! At school hextfday her mind and heart were at war. The parts of speech and rules of subtraction and division seemed complete chaos, and when homeward bound, she loitered slowly along, hoping Ray would make amends and meat her on the way. But again he failed to appear And that night, wham aloae with Hannah, a worse heow .oajgjd. v "I heerd young fltftMB apt hack yesterday," she said, txxag ear sssmly blue eyes on Chip, "an' ye* tree* txexast the road to meet him.

Such speeches were not new to her, and she had long before ceased to answer them. But this one, from its very truth, hurt more than all others had, and, crushed by it, she stole away out of the house. No thought that Ray might call came to her. She only wished to escape somewhere, that she might cry away her misery and shame In solitude. The evening was but a repetition of the previous one.

Hut the change was not made with-' out some coBt to her feelings, for heartstrings reach far, .and. Miss Phtnncy and her months of patient teaching were not forgotten.

And now as the summer days aped by, and Chip helping Uncle Jud In the meadows or Atmt Handy about the house, and winning lore from both, saw a new realm open before her. There was In the Bitting room of this quaint home a tall bookcase, its «shelve* filled with a motley collection of books; works on science, astronomy,, geology, botany, and the like; books of travel and adventure; stories of strange countries-and people never heard of by Chip; and novels by Scott, Lever. Cooper, and Hardy. These last, especially Scott end Cooper, appealed - most to Chip, end bnee she began thenv every spare hoar, end often.<untll long past midnight, she became lost in this new world. "I know all about how folks live in the woods," she said one Sunday to , Uncle Jud, when half through "The Deerslayer." "1 was brought up there. I know how Injuns lire, and what they believe. I had an old Injun friend once. I've got the moccasins and fur cape he gave me now. His name was Tomah, 'n' he believed in queer thing* that sometimes creep an' sometimes run faster'n we can." It was her first reference to bet old life, but once begun, she never paused' until all her queer history had been related. "I didn't mean to tell it," she ex plained' in conclusion, "for I don't want aoeodty to}- know where I. came lr*n,a^'f nope you wont' tefl;** it a few in her beet, with Uncle Jud ^••W^r-i* She fargr •Be hJS*H8e^"neTsrinW"i6~Uncle Jo* and Aunt Mandy, whose speech; like Jher own, was, not *'hook lamed," and tor this *eee# CWfr felt afraid of hear. So much so, In fact, that for a^Cew days she scarce dared to speak at ell. Her timidity wore away In due time, for Aunt Abby—a counterpart of her sister—was in no wise awe inspiring. She saw Chip as she was, and soon felt an Interest in her and her peculiar history, of what was known of Jt. She also noted Chip's interest ia books, and guessing more than .she had been told, was not long in forming correct conclusions. "What do you Intend to do with this runaway girl?" she said one day to her sister, "keep her .here and let her grow up in ignorance, or what?" "Wal, we ain't thought much about that," responded Mandy, "at least not tmk oontect w*fc tefler*** as well as •W"Wfls^fiJseBe' ' rri»pi*w.' fHsWV '•WflPpy, • \fr ^ e^*»^sx HandT/^'and tnat moat be-confldered.

Til do Just as Uncle Jud wants me to," she responded, when Aunt Abby proposed the change; "but I'd hate to go 'way from here. It'e all the real sort o' home I've ever known, and they've been so good to me 111 have to cry when I leave it You'd let me come here once in awhile, wouldn't ye?" As she seemed ready to cry at this moment, Aunt Abby wisely dropped the subject then and there; in fact, she did not allude to It again in Chip's presence.,: But Aunt Abby carried her point with the others. Uncle Jud consented very reluctantly, Aunt Mandy also yielded after much more persuasion, and when Aunt Abby's visit terminated poor Chip's few belongings were packed in a new telescope case; she kissed Aunt Mandy, unable to speak, and this tearful parting was repeated at the station with Uncle Jud. When the train had vanished he wiped his eyes on his coat sleeves, climbed into his old carryall, and drove away disconsolate. "Curis, curis, how a gal like that 'un'll work her way into a man's feelin's," he said to himself. "It ain't been three months since I picked her up, 'n' now her goln' away seems like pullin' my heart out." 'Her Go In' Away 8eems Likt Pullin' My Heart Out." yet. She ain't got no relations to look arter her, so far es we kin lam. She's company for us, 'n' wlllin'. Uncle Jud sets lots of store by her. She is with him from morn till night, and handy at all sorts o' work. This is how 'tis with us here, an' now what do you aay?" For a moment Aunt Abby meditated. "You ought to do your duty by her," she said at last, "and she certainly needs more schooling.' "We can send her down to the Corners when school begins, if you think we orter," returned her sister, timidly; but we hate to lose her now. We've kinder took to her, you see," "I hardly think that will do," answered Aunt Abby, knowing as she did that the three R's comprised the full extent of an education at the Corners. "What ahe needs is a chance to mingle with more people than ahe can here, and learn the ways of the world, as well as books. Her mind is bright. I notice she is reading every chance ahe can get, and you know my ideas about education. For her to stay here, even with schooling at the Corners, is to let her grow up like a hoyden: Now what would yon think if I took her back to 'Christmas Cove? There is a better school there. She will meet and mingle with more people, and improve faster." "I dunno what JudsonH say," returned Aunt Mandy, somewhat aadly. "He's got so wonted to her, he'll be heart-broke, I'm afraid." And so the consultation closed. The matter did not end here for Aunt Abby, "sot in her way," as Uncle Jud had often said, yet in reality only advocating What she felt was best for the homeless waif, now began a persuasive campaign. She enlarged on Christmas Cove, its excellent school and capable master, ita soeial advantages and cultured people, who boasted a public Horary and debating eaelety, and eapeeialtr * • sw«mwr-%4r tractions; when 4 feW4os»* dty peo-1 3$2T Ray had pi saw. evfl*F Wg> and tha< CHAPTER XXil. Christmas Cove had entered its autumn lethargy when Aunt Abby Bemis and her new protege reached it» Capt. Bemis, who "never had no say 'bout nothin," but who had cooked his own meals uncomplainingly for three weeks, emerged white-dupted from the mill to greet the arrivals, and Chip was soon installed in a somewhat bare room overlooking the cove. Everything, seemed slightly chilly to her here. This room, with its four-posted bed, blue painted chairs, light blue shades, and dark blue straw matting, the leafless elms in front, the breeze that swept in from the sea, and even her reception, seemed cool. Her heart was not in it. Try as she would, she could not yet feel one spark of affection for this "book larned" Aunt Abby, who had already begun to reprove her for lapses of Bpeech. It was all so different from the home life she had just left; and as Chip had now begun to notice and feel trifles, the relations of the people seemed chilly as the room to which she was consigned. When Sunday came—a sunless one with leaden sky and cold wind bearing the ocean's moaning—Chip felt herself back at Greenvale with its Sundays, for now she was stared at the moment she entered the church. The singing was, of course, of the same solemn character, the minister's prayers even longer, and the preaching as incomprehensible as in Greenvale. With her advent at school Monday came something of the same trouble met at Greendale, for the master, a weazen, dried-up little old man, who wore a wig aid seemed to exude rules and discipline, lacked the kindly interest of Miss Phinny. Chip, almost a mature young lady, was aligned with girls and boys of 10 and 12, and once more the same shame and humiliation had be~ endured. It wore away in time, however, for she had made almost marvelous progress under Mies Painsey. Her mind was keen and quick, and once at study again, ahe astonished Mr. Bell, the master. Something of her old fearless selfreliance now came to her aid, also. It had made her dare 60 miles of wilderness alone and helpless, it had spurred her to escape Greenvale and her sense of being a dependent pauper, and now that latent force for good, or ill still nerved her. But Chrtatmaa Cove-did not suit her. The sen that drew her eyes with its vantnees seemed to awe her. The great hoeee,N brown and moascoated where ahe lived, waa barnlike, and never quite warm enough. . The long street she traversed four times daily waa bleak and wiad-ewept.

Then the long days of watching for, bia return were lived over, and the en* aimoat eostatto moment whoa he had leaped from the stage and over the wall, with no one ia sight, while ha kaJ4 berjnjklj anna. And then-and tbla hurt the moatthat last evening belpre they were to part again, when beside the flredy-lU mill pond he had the chance to aay ao- much and said—nothing! ' It was all a bittersweet memory, which she tried to pat away forever the night she left Greenvale. Oka wns. ,now Vera Raymond. No one could trace her; and yet, so at odd* were her will and her heart, there still lingered the faint hope that Ray would sometime and bomehow find her out. And so, studying faithfully, often lonesome, now and then longing for the bygone days with Ray and Old Cy, and always hoping that Bhe might some time return to Peaceful Valley, Chip passed the winter at Christmas Cove. Something of success came to her through it all. She reached and retained head positions in her claaaes. A word of praise came occasionally from Mr. Bell. Aunt Abby grew less austere and seemed to have a little pride in her. She became acquainted with other people and in touch with young folks, was invited to parties and sleigh-rides, The vernacular of Tim's Place left her, and even Sundays were less a torture, in fact, almost a pleasure, for then she saw most of the young people she mingled with,' and now and then exchanged a bit of gossip. Her own .dress became of more interest to her. Aunt Abby, fortunately for Chip, felt desirous that her ward should appear well, and Chip, thus educated and polished in village life, to a degree at least, fulfilled Aunt Abby's hopes. Another success- also came to hex. for handsome as she undeniably was, with her big, appealing eyes, her splendid black hair, and well-rounded form, the young men began to seek her. One became persistent, and when spring had unlocked the long, curved bay once more, Chip had become almost a leader in the little circle of young people. Her life with those who had taken her in charge also became more harmonious. In fact, something of affection began to leaven it, for the reason that never once had Aunt Abby questioned Cbip as to her past. Aunt Mandy and Uncle Jud had both cautioned her as to its unwisdom, and she was broad and charitable enough to let it remain a closed book until such time as Chip was willing to open it; and for thfs, more than all else that she received. Chip felt grateful. Beg ee* day it came out—or at leap A ••»*»•_ of H. "I suppose yow lauRs^ftmea w*a> dered where I waavhoaa, asst l ' ' parents were," Chip said, one Sunday afternoon, when she and Aunt Abby were alone, "and I want to thank you for never asking." And then, omitting much, she briefly outlined her history. (TO B E CONTINUED.) ~<-%* :¾¾ Joined the Dead at Their Meal. In the medical press is a story of a man who believed that he was dead and who for that reason refused to take any nourishment. "How can the dead eat and drink?** he asked, when food was pressed upon him. It was obvious that unless something were done to bring him to his senses the delusion must soon become actuality; he would die of starvation. .The strangest ruse was tried. Half a dosen attendants, draped in ghostly white, crept silently in single file into the room adjoining his. and, with the door open, sat down where he could see them to a hearty meal. "Here, who are these people?** inquired the patient. "Dead men," answered the doctor. "What!" said the other. "Do dead men eat?" "To be sure they do, as yon see for yourself," was the answer. "Well," said the corpse, "if that ia so, m join them, for I'm starving." The spell waa broken, and he sat down and ate like 40 famished men. Locket Again In Paver.

To check a cold quickly, get fiom your druggist some little Candy Cold Tablets called Preventics. Druggists everywhere are now dispensing Preventlcs for they are not only fate, but decidedly effective and prompt. Pre ventics contain no quinine, no laxa tive, nothing barsb or sickening. Taken at the sneeze stage Preventics will prevent Pneumonia, Bronchitis, La Grippe, etc. Hence tbe name, preventics. Good for feverish children. 48 Preventics 25 cents. Trial boxes 5 cents. Sold by all dealers. Conspicuous among the special interests that are laboring to crush the initiative as applied to constitutional amendments is the liquor interest. This powerful interest is using every means known to privilege or monopoly to prevent the people of Michigan from initiating amendments to their own constitution. The brewery, distillery and saloon interests will stand between the people of Michigan and the formulation of their fundamental law, if enough men can be found in the constitutional convention who will prove amenable to their power. Pledged to adopt the initiative, delegates who received the votes of the people in return for their pledges now propose to repudiate at once their pledges and the voters "The voters cannot be trusted. Our pledges were not intended to be kept," they tell the people of Michigan. Tne petitions signed by the intelligent farmers of the state, by business men, by educators and by workingmeu are sneered at in contempt. These people they insultingly repard as "wild eyed demagogues." They turn from their constituents and their pledges and listen to the pleadings of whom?

He remembered a pair of bright eyes beam* log upon him when he bad won the champion cup for single sculls. They and the smile that accompanied them were then no more to him than a passing whiff of violets. Now, as he entered his lonely room, he remembered that the.girl he bad failed to claim was the wife, and mother of children, of the man he had beaten in the race. He had won the cup, which he had so dearly prized, leaving for his antagonist tbe girl, whom he had considered merely one of a million. . Now the cup was In a vault with other trinkets; the girl was the light of a household. He remembered another whom he bad played with In a double game of tennis, an execrable player, but a soft voiced beauty; how he had saved the game by bis skill and activity; how she had received the prize—a silver mounted racket—from his hands, with blushes that told him she would have gladly taken him Instead. These and others with whom he had feared to become entangled contributed their part in that deep drawn sigh, so unintelligible to Lydia Nutter. He was no longer the companion of young people He had passed the mating period nud had not mated. "What troubled you last night, Mr Mulholland, as you weut into your room?" asked. Lydia the next mornlug as the bachelor went out to get his lonely breakfast. "I troubled? What do you mean?" "You drew such a sad sigh." As Ell looked Into her sympathetic eyes something of two decades before came back to iilm. Was It too late to save what remained of his life fr< m a loneliness intensified with each passing year?

"When you feel that way again, come down aud we'll try to comfort you." said Lydia. There was a wistful look in his even as he closed the door. That night he sat in the reading room of his club pretending to read the newspapers, while he was watching the clock. He wished to go to the, house where he roomed, but he would go neither too late nor too early—not after Lydia had gone to bed. not so early that he would seem to have come to he with her, for that was his Intention. He chose half past 9 as the hour most likely .to conceal It and, aft* er two hours' watching ttfe clock, left the club. Lydia was in the sitting room with her mother, the mother reading, Lydia at some fancy work. "I'm In rather early tonight," he said to Lydia. "There was nothing doing at the club. I've brought some playing cards. Would you mind a game?" Again the smile that greeted him reminded him of the face that had beamed upon him when he had been an athletic victor. Then it had been accompanied by the flush of victory, the plaudits of thousands. Now it was bestowed upon-a lonely soul huugerlug for sympathy. They sat down to a game ostensibly of cards, really to one of love. Lydia had admired the stalwart middle aged man whose hair was beginning to turn, but had not dreamed of being the wife of one she regarded so great £31 clutched at what he regarded a straw to save him from a desolate old age.

New.Pattern for Each Garment la Not Neeeaaery — One Piece Gown Easy to Copy—Experiment on Old Cloth. The variety of materials and designs for wrappers, negligees, house dresses, sacques, and little combing Jackets Is well nigh endless. Houses and apartments are so well heated now that the actual warmth of a garment for wear indoors is not so often considered as it was once on a time. Whether a wrapper is to be llaajl or not Is usually a matter of personal a percaUn purpose expensive, J> <I«IHI **<« - ••—^ «!•'• •• ~~i « v r-i* uu a pattern hag to be W i g h i \o b » y ^ * * >F oae^f IL4?Tate wrapper and with the|lh* aid of this pattern it should be possible to copy almost any hind of a one piece gown. It is much better to learn to dp this than to feel obliged to buy a new pattern for every garment made. And if one feels timid about trying an experiment on new cloth, it will be Urns well spent to use some old cloth or tissue paper and get the idea right with that. It gives one a feeling of satisfaction to be able to copy the pretty clothes so often seen, either on people, In the stores, or In magaslne or papers: In using a plain or any other kind of a pattern one most Important point must be borne tn mind. When a section of the wrapper Is laid on the material (if the pattern has been well cut) the lower edge of the armhole and the bottom and front edge of the sklvt part will both touch the selvage edge, it the skirt part at the bottom extends beyond the straight edge of the goods do not let it, but draw a new line from the hip to the bottom, making the bottom touch the selvage. This applies to the front at the underarm, the underarm piece, and the side pieces on their front edges. The reason is gores will hang towards the front Instead of towards the back as they should, if this is not done. If the gores are not ^Ide enough across the bottom add the necessary width to the back edges. One pretty wrapper is shown which could answer the purpose of a tea gown. It" would be lovely made of a Japanese crepe In warn, rich reds, with the front of plain red mousseline or soft silk. A sort of doublo ruffle finishes the neck, put on in such a manner as to form a little bolero. This wrapper could be entirely made of the crepe, excepting the ruffles. HOW TO GBT PINK CHEEK8.

Staying Much in the Open Air \i the Best Recipe. ' Red cheeks are at the command of every woman, but few understand this. Few women are naturally pale. We sometimes redden the cheeks by quick methods which bring results that are most satisfactory. We slap the cheeks vigorously, three or four spats with the palm of the hand, *&d the cheeks will glow for a long time. We advise early rising whenever possible because there is a nlpjting eagerness adwrf the early morning sir which acts like a brisk rubbing, the face. It bites and makes cheeks glow pink. A good walk in a sharp air will polish the cheekB Into redness as though one had rubbed them with a rough cloth and pinched them with the fingers. Food has a great deal to do with red cheeks. Foods that are highly spiced and stimulating will make a woman pale. Foods that manufacture blood will make a woman red in the face, but she must be careful not to partake too freely of them. Staying out in the open air, if ono Is in good health, Will give a woman red cheeks. It ^reddejui the cheeks of a child and it will redden the cheeks of a woman. Outdoor air; open-air sleeping and walking in the wind will make the cheeks red. COAT FOR THE EVENING. Three-Quarter White Cloth Garment in Ermine and Braid.

Several doctors have taken their leave with a bleaslns to those around them. Aatiey Cooper's last recorded words are: "God bless you and goodby to you all!" He had previously said to bis physicians, Bright and Chambers: "God's will be done; God bless you both!"~addtog: "You must excuse me, but I shall take no more medicine/' Benjamin Brodie was heard to mutter: "After all, God is very good." The saddest of all recorded last words are probably those of Oliver Goldsmith, who, when asked by his physician if his mind was at rest, said: "No, it is not!" On the other band; William Hunter's mind seems to have been lull of bright thoughts at the moment of death, for he said: "If I could hold a pen, what a book I could write I" Pasteur and Darwin, though not belonging to the medical profession, are venerated by itSv. teachers. Darwin's last words were: "I am not the least afraid to die." Pasteur was offered a cup of milk, and, being unable to swallow'ft; murmured: "Ixannot." He passed away with one hand in his wife's, the other grasping a crucifix. Lastly are mentioned the last words of Mirabeau, which are said to have been addressed to a doctor. He wrote on a slip of paper which he gave to his physician, the philosopher Cabanis, the single word "DormJr." Another account, which may be an expanded version of this, is that, after begging for an anodyne, he said reproachfully to the doctor: "Were you not my physician and my friend? Did you not promise to spare me the suffering of such a death? Must I go carrying away regrets of having confided in you?" This is rather a long and rhetorical speech for a dying man. It is given to few men of any profession to accumulate such large fortunes as the late Lord Brampton and Mr. Murphy, K. C, have left behind them—fortunes amounting to £141,- 000 and £234,000 respectively; but to say, as stated by a contemporary, that such an achievement .is only possible In iha law is scarcely in accordtdete W^BMBeSl %#g<^P •Se^^SjgJSJggfrlw..

Uncle Sam knew all about i t but he roiled his tongue in bla cheek. During the laat two years of the rebellion his vessels were almost openly fitted out to carry anna and other sutfpllee, but if the United States cutters chased them off the coast they did not overhaul them at sea. The government Inspectors at the New England arsenals knew where the arms went to, no matter what the markB ou the boxes, but they winked at each.other and saw gjpthing. According to Lopez, 25,000 patriots were ready to rally as soon as supplied with arms. A large sum of money was collected and spent for muskets, revolvers,-cartridges and machine guns. Then .there were blankets, rations and other things needed by the soldiers. A steamer was chartered and thirty Americans enlisted. Spanish spies in New Tork reported the purchases to Uncle Sam. He replied that he would attend to the matter and did nothing. The same spies reported the ateamer. She was not even looked over by the revenue officers. To be sure she waa chased down the coast by a revenue cutter that belched barrels and barrels of black smoke, but when the filibuster was at last overhauled It was to ask If the captain hadn't forgotten his nightshirt on leaving New York. ' Lopes was aboard. He had been indefatigable. He had been at Washington. He had directed all while Bleeping- in a garret and living on one meal a day. A patriot on a pedestal! An object lesson to the world! The steamer waa to touch at a certain point on Uie coast. Word bad gone on ahead and a thousand Cubans would be at hand to swiftly unload her. False alarms would be given and the Spanish gunboats called away from the spot. No precaution had been neglected. Nothing had been left to chance. When once the steamer got headed for the spot she slowed down at half speed. She was to reach the landing under cover of darkness. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon nothing was in sight from her bridge. At 5 o'clock n heavy fog settled down. This was all the better for ihe success of the expedition. Five hours' slow "run wonid^ take Jhem to the bay selected, and bonfires ai&Norcbes would illuminate the discbarge of the cargo. The fog had not lifted at 6 o'clock nor at 7. At 8 one could last make out the form of a man seven er eight feet away. The captahv was a prudent, man. All lights were extinguished and all noises hushed. With the screw softly turning, the filibuster borebrber way. Into the fog like some blacker shadow. The captam, Lopez and half a dosen others formed, a-group by themselves and spoke in whispers. AH were exultant They were certain to gat in safely. Of * sudden the Chunk, tbunav ami*. of a propeller waa hear* from straJsjst It could not lie mistaken for o W n o i s v thea came the eame off the pert how. Then tt freaa the starboard anai fetened with Jbeattdt h "Porpoises er whsJser w^spsred Lopea th the csptam's ner, '"ffpaalsb gtSaboaUf was the reply. ^ By the speaking tube and not by the ef -the steamer was checkgoatee Idly on the and m> T w e e 'tfi$mm fence. them to dared were stop till ft joined at right _ were on. The 9ftt stepped o&Vou iBV fence and waited there till the atner went by. My friend thought this act showed an appreciation of the problem, beyond the reach of instinct No doubt those cats had met before, and one was master of the other. What more natural than that the defeated cat should retreat before the superior and when it came to the .other fence step off upon It and let the victor pass? The action involved no mental process any more than when two inert bodies in motion meet each other and one gives way. There was no other course open to the c a t If she or be had turned back and taken t o the side fence solely to accommodate the other cat why, that were another matter. The Gordon setter that met a tratu of cars upon a railroad bridge and stepped down upon one of the timbers ef the bridge and stood there while the train passed gave_.no proof of reasoning powers. It was the only thing the dog could do. Nearly ail animals know enough to get out the way of danger. If they did not, what would become of the race of animals?—John Burroughs in Outing Magazine. --485¾¾. sr Old Roman Laws. The old Roman laws, according to Colquhoun, conferred on the husband complete empery over the wife. All she owned or earned was vested in him, and he acquired the same rights over her person and property as if stje were his natural daughter. The wife, on the other hand, acquired nil the rights to a child and to her husband's name and succession in the event of an intestate estate, and she could exercise all the privileges to whicb her sex admitted. The power of the ancient Roman father over his offspring was originally perpetual, nor could the child be emancipated from the father's control during the father's life except by that parent's consent nor did he become sul Juris until the father (being himself sui juris) died, when the son was emancipated by the simple operation of the law. In those brave days the father had legal permission to scourge his children or to send them, fettered like slaves, to work on his estate or even to kill them, choosing whatsoever means for their taking off he thought proper.

In its area of 24,780 square miles, «aya the Independent, there is more natural wealth than is perhaps crowded into the same space in any other portion of the world. In coal her supply Is almost inexhaustible, and the value is almost incalculable. She, in this one product of nature alone, is one and one-half times larger than the entire area of the coal fleldsof Great Britain. The value of her coal, It is estimated, is greater than the value of all the gold and silver of the Pacific coast. Over 17,000 square miles of her territory is underlaid with this mineral. Hut this gives a very faint idea to the general mind of the immensity of this deposit. To say that there are over 10,000,000 acres of West Virginia in coal land gives but a littia better idea. When it is stated, however, that the coal of this state could furnish the entire world usth its fuel for centuries some laV1** gained. '*?! *¥ merstein is scolding the New York public because it does not support his opera as well as he thinks it ought. Mr. Hainmerstein will learn when, he is older, says the Indianapolis Star, that a taste for grand opera is one which many persons who can ). afford to pay for it never acquire. JL They may support the undertaking because it is fiphiwiaJMe a*, because ia«ir aeefei fojNfc*' *p»«M to de these not performances in person they feel that much has been gained. . Also Mr. Hainmerstein must learn that *»/|geera is not a necessity of life, even for genuine music-lovers, and that when times are hard such indulgences will be the first to be cut out. Incidentally Ft may be remarked that a gpo£ deal of humbug hovers about sofor music. 3* sts are coming to the ,v **S'' ; , * • rfefllflasi Wr St. Gaudens, whose eagle on the new $10 gold piece has been criticised because of its feathered legs. They say that if the sculptor had wanted to depict the bald eagle, com nionly accepted as the national bird, but which has no good reason for being 8¾ more than the other varieties, he 1» wrong, but, as he was evidently trying to portray the golden eagle, he was accurate, as this bird is feathered down to its talons, And what could be more appropriate than a golden eagle for a gold coin? i>; Count Wttte is letting ont more secrets about that Rusto-Japanese war. His latest statement puta It up to Gen. Kuropatkin, who teems to be held responsible for about _ all that went wrong in Manchuria, and whose official and military acta do not appear to corroborate the testimony he gave in the Stoessel court-martial. When big generals fall out the public gets some striking views of what has been going on behind the scenes. . 4 * ' A New York woman has b«en dia rove red who is hoarding' checks to the amount of $25,000, received from an insurance company after her hus band's 'death, because she is afrafd • of banks!

Almost the entfre police force is ai work on the case, and although a chit has been found, no suspects have beei. arrested. The stopcock is a Iarg»« one. and could not have been turned off without a wrench. Thr superintendent »ays he thinks it would be impoaaibk for it to have been turned off ace] dentally. The person who turned off the water got into ibe building through the coal hole. A discharged city -employe is tinder surveillance. Fought the Storm. The car ferry Manistlque waa caught out in the big Htorm on Lake Michigan, and had a severe battlt wjih the gale and the bll/.azrd. Sin made port safely, however. The .Mania tique last week struck a rock outside of Manistique harbor and later sank at a dock at 1 hat port. She was then started for Milwaukee to receive re pairs. The steamer Nyack, of the Crosby line, which left Grand Haven Saturday night for Milwaukee, encountered a terrific blizzard in mid-lake and after battling with the gale, a heavy sea and thick snow, nearly 24 hours, was forced to put back into Granc Haven where it arrived Monday evening. At one time the boat was it Thirty-four Railroads Accused. The Saginaw board of trirle and the Flint Improvement league have filed with the interstate commerce commission complaints against the Grand Trunk, Pere Marquette, Michigan Central and 31 other lines, charging dhv crimination against this portion of the state in freight, rates to Atlantic seaboard. It is charged Detroit enjoys 78 per cent of Chicago-New York rate, while Saginaw valley is charged 92 pe. cent, although the latrev is only 32 miles farther from the coast. The commission is asked to establish equitable rates for Saginaw territory. About 1,000 shippers are parties to the proceedings. Still a Mystery. William Schimmel. found guilty of the murder of Martfn Golden at the November term of circuit court, but which verdict was put aside by Judge Padgham is now a free man. Attorney W. A. Turner, of Muskegon, asked ftie court to make some final decision of Schimmel 'A case. Schimmel was in court ready for another trial. Prosecuting Attorney Coburn stated that there was no further showing to be made, and the judge ordered the dis charge of the respondent. This closes one of the most sensational murder case* in the county's history and leaves the murder of the Dennison postmaster still a mvstery. /'The Unalng'poeu^dkdia biulaaa* flf&wmTU m iWT;>h toi^wwie <* f l 7 m p » > v « r l*06.~* * * T^9uu\J%m^\^JBit asttMftatto*; witt meet at PonlUe January SM0. *"'.M.

They state that it is daily becoming plainer thai a large uud influential party is growing up with a platform of reduced taxes and armaments, and, although the preaeut program of expansion Is to extend to 1911 only, the new party demands immediate relief. The Matl remarks: "The timeaeema to bring to turn strongly against militarism, and the next three years will be critical." The leading Toklo dailies during the week have all been,studying the cauae of the remarkable change in the attitude of the western people toward Japan. The Kokumlu. a government organ, has the latest and most outspoken comments; It says: "In view of the steady change in the world's opinion of Japan, the Kokumla njuat remiud its countrymen that, despite recent ententes, Japan is meeting with obstacles in all directions, owing to the fact that the government and people are still intoxicated with the glory of the recent war and empty flattery. The l>eople should awake to their sober senses, and the government should exercise more prudence in its dealings with the powers." This early recognition of weakness undoubtedly is largely attributable to Prince Ito, who is known to be exerting his great influence to secure sounder financial policies iu opposition to the military party which has hitherto controlled them. whose commerce we are aptkteff. 4#*; refer to (he people of Asia aa the yellow race.

Aa far aa he can, Secretary Jaft has committed the American government to promise to withdraw completely from Cuba in the beginning of spring In 1909. This pledge 1a contained in a letter from the war secretary to the president transmitting; the report of Gov. Magoon for the past year. After declaring that the report from the governor shows the conditions 1n Cuba to be encouraging, Secretary Taft says: "It was hoped .by some that the census might be comj ber last. I did nofc not at all surprii census has not and probably wii] or May. "This will postpone the local elections until June, the presidental election until December, and the installation of the president and congress and the turning over of the island untu about March or April. 1909. "This Is in compliance with our promise when we assumed temporary control of Cuba, and it seems to me that we ought to allow nothing to interfere with carrying out that promise. "There are important interests that would be glad to delay our stay there for years, but good faith and good policy, both, in my Judgment, require us to leave at the time appointed."

The admission was brought out in response to questions from the chairman of the committee. Senator Kittredge, of South Dakota. Col.

"No, I am not," was the reply. "1 believe it will cost all of that." 'Are you prepared to say that it will not cost over $300,000,00?"

Iu spite of the statements in administration circles that no decision was to be made as to the return route of the Pacific fleet unOl it reached the Pacific coast, it has become known that the itinerary of the fleet after its departure from San Francisco contemplates a run across the Pacific to Manila bay and a return trip to the Atlantic coast of the United States. This has hitherto been reported, but not from administration circles. What appears "to be a confirmation of the foregoing fact came out Saturday in view of the necessity of the administration in asking for an additional and larger navy department approprltion for coal, the appropriation having boon exhausted on account of the heavy expenditures already incurred. Because of this it is necessary for the administration to confide in congressional leaders that the route for the return bad already been determined upon and preparations under, way for carrying out the program, Wldtn the Canal.

U S here Old Cy n o w turned h i s c a n o e , add re-*f pairing t h e bark shack they bad built, w h i c h had been crushed by winter's snow, h e camped there again. N e x t morning, bright and early, he launched his canoe and o n c e more followed t h e winding s t r e a m through the dark gorge and out into t h e rippled lake again. H e r e h e halted and looked about. N o signs of aught human could be seen. T h e long, narrow lakelet sparkled beneath t h e morning sun. T h e bald mountain frowned upon it. the jagged ledges just across faced blm like serried ramparts, an eagle slowly circled overhead, and, best indication of primal solitude, an antlered deer stood loktng at him (rom out an opening above the ledges. "Guess I'm ulone h e r e ! " exclaimed Old Cy, glancing around; "but if this ain't a pictur worth vememberin', I never s a w one, Wish 1 could take it with me Into t'other world; an' If I w a s sure o' fiindin' a spot like it thar, I'd n e v e r worry 'bout goin' when my time comes." After a long wait, a s if h e wanted to o b s e r v e every detail of this wondrous picture of wildwood beauty, h e dipped his paddle, crossed the s h e e t of rippled water, and stepped ashore at the very spot where h e and Ray had landed over eight m o n t h s before. "Great S c o t t ! " h e exclaimed, glancing around, "If that ain't a canoe, bottom u p ! T w o , by g i n g e r ! " h e added, a s h e saw another drawn out and half hid by A low ledge. T o this second o n e h e hastened at o n c e and l o o k e d l n t o it. It had evidently rested there all winter, for It w a s partially filled with water, and half afloat in it w e r e t w o paddles and a setting pole. A gunny-cloth bag, evidently containing the usual coking outfit of a w o o d s m a n , lay soaking In o n e end, a frying-pan and an ax w e r e rusting in t h e other, and a coating of mould had browned each crossbar and thwart. "Been here quite a spell, all winter. I guess," muttered Old Cy, looking it over, and then h e advanced to the other canoe. That w a s , a s h e asserted, bottom up, and also lay half hid back of a jutting ledge of slate. T w o paddles leaned against this ledge, and near by w a s another setting pole. All three of t h e s e familiar objects w e r e brown with damp mould and evidently had rested there m a n y m o n t h s . "Curis. curis," muttered Old Cy again.

Surely here, or hereabouts, had been enacted a drama of murderous nature4, and inside this cavern might repose its blood-stained sequel. But the filtering beams of light encouraged Old Cy, and he entered. No ghastly corpse confronted him, but instead a human, if cramped, abode.

There were two philanthropists, according to the tale, one a professional and the other an amateur. The professional bad arranged to take the amateur to a gathering of slum dwellers In the east end of Loudon. At the appointed hour the amateur, who happens to be a duchess and I great beauty, uppeared at the house ox her friend, u dazzling apparition in court dress, tiara and Jewels. "Oh, my dear," gasped the professional, falling helplessly into the nearest chair, "don't you know that we are going to one of the lowest and most squalid slums? I can't promise that you will bring any of that back with you." But the beauty only laughed. "That's all right," she said. "I quite understand you. But poor people love beautiful things. Their children especially are captivated with fine dresses and feathers. Just wait aud you will see!" And the professional did see. Those poor, half starved, half naked slum dwellers had eyes for no one but the dazzling young beauty who had ?^oue them the infinite bouor of coming o see them in her most beautiful frock and Jewels. * . » • **?:• •T» if ' * * ' • ',"IH III1 " M l mrnmmm^mmftm After the Honeymoon.

[Orlvinal.l Don Rafael Alvarado, a wealthy clt- Isen of Mexico, claimed descent from that Alvarado who made tbe famous leap ucroaa tlu break in the-cauaeway when CorteVa army retreated from the rupltol. Don Rafael's uiiceatora had ucqulred a I urge tract of laud Iu ancient Tlascala. oue of the Mexican provluces, uud one of them ut one time owned u gold mine. In Don Rafael's youth the family weultn had been very great, aud wealth aud ancestry are the father and mother of pride. The young man wus brought up to consider no one In Mexico bis equal, that Mexico was made especially for the Alvarados and that an Alvarado could uot accept a favor or withhold one. Don Unfael lived on his hacienda, a large estate that remained from the original grant of the king of Spuiu. From bis wails the portraits or his ancestors looked down on him. all seeming to say the same words, "Ueinembcr that you are an Alvarudo." Covering one end of the banquet room was a painting of tbe original Alvarado making the wonderful leap. Don Rafael upon bis uccesslou to the property began to outdo any of bis progenitors in splendor of living and hospitality. H e had a sister, Dona Isabel, who was an especially attractive feature in his home. She attempted to check her brother iu his extravagance, pointing out to him that those he was entertaining were bleeding him and a f the rate he was proceeding he would soon have nothing left. But her warning was of no avail. Some of the guests taught their host gambling games, others borrowed money. Both methods were employed to Impoverish him. Gradually his bank accouut melted away, bis revenues became mortgaged, and at last ruin stared him in the face. About this time came a very different sort of guest from the others. George Wallace, a young American of considerable means and a graduate o' a school of mining engineering. He had gone to Mexico to examine a mine for some New York capitalists, with a view to keeping a lookout for other inlues in which to make investments himself. He found a trensure of another kind, Dona Isabel, and straightway proceeded to fall in love with her. His love was returned, and Don Rafael, though he considered no one either in Mexico or the United States good enough to marry his sister, consented to the match. Something troubled the girl, which did not escape the attention of her lover, lie pressed her for it, and she at last confessed that her brother was financially in a desperate condition. After having tied up Ills resources he had mortgaged bis hacienda, and the mortgage was about to be foreclosed. Wallace, actuated by love and natural noble impulses, went straight to Don Rafael, told him that he had that day received a large remittance from New York which he had drawn in gold and had upstairs in his room. The amount was sufficient to lift the mortgage, and Wallace offered to loan it to his host without security. The only condition he made was that Don Rafael should thereafter listen to the advice of his sister, dismiss the vampires who were preying upon him and endeavor to straighten his affairs. Wallace did not doubt that the man he had offered to help would thank fully accede to his terms. He was disappointed. Don Rafael showed a thorough appreciation of the kindly interest that prompted the offer, but pride, the trait t h a t dominated the Alvarados, prevented his accepting the loan. "I owe you a world of thanks," he said, "but an Alvarado cannot accepl a favor. What wTould these, my nnces tors, think of me if I should accepl money from my sister's lover?"

Throwing h e r self on the body of her lover, she cursed her brother as a murderer an* a thief. Alvarado fled, thinking t h a t he bad killed his guest and his sister's lover. Wallace recovered, and both be and Dona Isabel, whom he afterward married, tried to find him. but In vain. Alvarado turned bandit and under another name became the terror of Mexico Finally h e was killed, and his body was brought to his hacienda. Then for the first time his sister knew that tbe man she had often heard of as an outlaw w a s her brother. Probably there is not another such example of family pride. G R A C E ADA H O W E .

There Is a restaurant in TJroad street hi which nearly a thousand persons eat during the noon hour. Each person eats wh:tt he plen^es and when he j ^-; goes to the cashier's desk announces eudueli the amount of his indebtedness. The proprietors figure that to trust to the honesty of their patrons is a saving of precious Wall street minutes and, besides, is good business. Onee in awhile keen eyed employees capture a cheat. One of these, a youth, was "caught with the goods on" » few days ago 'and taken to the office of the proprietors, (liven the choice of being arrested or going into the kitchen and washing dishes, the young man nearly collapsed of shame and fright. lie ; * i i T l i U J L U S V L P t S U O P A L C i l L U L ' l i . i V l K e v .

The woj&utn who relates it bad accompanied her huttband to Jflrwpui-, iudia, Bay* the Kansas City Star. He had been seat there to undertake the duties of an agent who had gone home on aick leave. The only accommodation they could find when they arrived was an inspection bungalow. They retii-ed about ten o'clock, but Mrs. 8. remained awake for some time reading a novel by the light of a lamp. She was just thinking of turning it out when suddenly a man holding a revolver appeared in the room, she says: "Before I could move or speak he said: 'Don't stop me; I am going to shoot myself.' As he put the revolver to his head I shut my eyes and was nearly deafened by the report that followed. My husband jumped up, wide awake at once, with a cry of 'Who fired ?' and I opened my eyes expecting to Bee a ghastly heap on the floor. "To my amazement the room was empty and there was no sign of the tragedy that had jfust taken place In front of a e . : My husband said he had been awakened out of a sound sleep by the noise of the shot and when I told him what 1 had seen we searched the house together. Neither the punkah coolie, who was sleeping in the veranda, uor the servants, whose houses were close by in the compound, had heard anything. Kven the dogs chained in the veranda had not been disturbed. It all happened so suddenly that 1 had no feeling of fright or terror. The man seemed to come from the direction of my h u s b a n d s office, where there was a door connecting with the bedroom, in front of which wo had placed a heavy wardrobe. He was a shortish, unpleasant-looking man and he held the revolver in his left hand. Neither my husband nor 1 were at all nervous people and when we could And nothing to explain what had occurred we decided that it 'must have been imagination and that our being in strong sympathy with each other had caused UH to share the Name hallucination.'' Now for the sequel. Shortly afterward Mrs. S. accompanied her husband on a tour of the district. Among the hills they met a Mme. de Hevery, who had been a widow for several years. In the course of a conversation with her Mrs. S. discovered that at one time she had live/d in the bungalow at Tirzapur where the spectral suicide,hud manifested 11 self. "On hearing that Hhe knew our bungalow and had actually lived in it," Mrs. 8. adds, I was impelled to relate our strange experience there, which hitherto my husband and I had kept to ourselves. She listened without comment, but when 1 ended my narrative by saying that we had come to the conclusion it must have been either Indigestion or imagination she turned very pale and said. You have related something that really hap pened; my husband shot himself there before my eyes exactly as you hav," described.' "I was terribly distressed at having, all unwittingly, reminded her of such a" painful episode, but she reassured me by saying: i t is many years ap;o and T can talk about it now. though i was ill for months afterward from the shock.' :'She then told me that her husband had gone into the bedroom through the door which we kept closed and had used the very words 1 quoted and the whole affair coincided exactly with what I had seen, down to the smallest detail." . Love's Service. The highest service of love is not to console but to inspire, not to comfort but to stimulate. He loves best who demands and secures the highest from the loved one. The mother-loves her child most divinely, not when she surrounds him with comfort and anticipates his wants, but when she resolutely holds him to the highest standards and is content with nothing less than his best. The immortality of love shines in a home, not when blindness shuts the eyes of the mother and wife, but. when the clear-sightedness of her *!k ^ • i w J**< ~ * t t f f f t f KIDNEYS.

For several weeks, little Halph had enjoyed tae use of a Shetland pony, the property of a horse dealer who was u friend of the family. But much to Ralph's sorrow, there came a day recently when the i>ony was sold, and the delightful horseback rides came to a sudden end. The purchaser, as Ralph found out by inquiry, was a little girl of about his own mature age of five. Ever since his acquaintance with the pony began, Ralph had included him in his bedtime prayer, and "God bless the pony," was an earnest nightly petition. The first evening after the sale of the pony, Ralph hesitated when he reached his pet's place in the prayer. Then, after a moment's thought, he continued: "Please, God. bless the pony just the same; but, Cod, don't you bless the little girl what's got the pony." A RESOLUTION TO BE KEPT.

But it is an easy matter to give it up for good, when Postum Food Coffee is properly made and used instead. A girl writes: "Mother had been suffering with nervous headaches for seven weary years, but kept drinking coffee. "One day 1 asked her why she did not give up coffee as a cousin of mine had done who had taken to Postum. Rut, Mother was such a slave to coffee she thought, it would be terrible to give It up. '•Finally, one day, she. made the change to Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared. One morning while she was drinking Postum so freely and with such relish I asked for a taste.

One morning a mun was brought I* fore me on a charge of attempted murder. He was a trim built fellow of twenty-five, of refined appearance, and what surprised me beyond measure was that his hair was white as snow. There were three witnesses agnlnst him—a miner, Tom Mason, and his- two assistants, Pete Galloway and Steve Fucker. Mason was a pitiful sight to behold. His left arm was in a sliug. His right leg, In a splint, waa supported by a crutch. A bandage covered an eye. Whatever of his face was, not covered with patches was of many hues. The condition of his two assist ants was not much better. The prisoner gave bis name as Albert Parkinson. After heariug a statement from his accusers I called upon him for his story. "Judge." he said, "Fiu a mining en glneer. I spent four years at college lu the scientific department, then went to Germany to study my profession. Prom there I returned last month and came out here to get some practical experieuce. This man Mnson accepted an offer from me to work iu the shaft where he Is drilling and blasting without pay, and the day before yesterday I went down with him, watched him drill, put in his charge of dynamite and Mght the fuse. Then we were hauled up iu the bucket by these two men, got as far from the hole as possible •nd Waited for the explosion. "After learning the process of setting the blast yesterday I offered to set and fire it myself. Mason consented, and when the hole was drilled he came up. gave me the charge, and I went down in the bucket. As soon as I had lighted the fuse I called out to be drawn up. The windlass creaked, and I felt myself rising. When 1 was hauled halfway something above seemed to be caught, and everything stood stock still. Mason called down In a fright ened voice that the windlass had bro ken, and he must go some distance to get a man to come and repair it. I called to him to pull me up by hand, but there was no response. I could hear him and one of his men discussing j in loud voices what it was l>est to do. "There I was, midway between the surface and the bottom, with the fuse sputtering below. I started to climb up hand over hand, but one of the men who had l>cen left l>ehind let me down as fast as I ell in tied up. .1 got back to the bucket exhausted and concluded to drop and put out the fuse. The man looking from above drew me up far enough to make my drop certain death. I looked over at the fuse and saw that it was within an inch of the charge. I shut my eyes and waited to l>e blown into the air. "I fainted, and when I came to was lying on the ground beside the windlass. Mason and Ids two men were standing over me laughing. " 'You fool tenderfoot,' he said, 'there warn't no charge in the shell. I tuk it out and put in dirt.' "I saw It all—a huge joke to Initiate a beginner into the mysteries of mining.

From T h e Far West. Coburg, Oregon. Jan. 15, 1908. Dear Mr. Andrews, Do I owe any thing on the Dispatch for subscription aad how much? I have been located here in Cobarg a little over a year now. I am selling lumber lor the Booth Kelly Company and getting along nicely, although times are a little close at present, but we hope they may be better in a tew months, cr after the Railroad Rate question is settled which will take place on March 4 Our mill here is running only one shift of 8 hours where we did run two of ID hours. Lumber has fallen on the average of about three dollars per thousand ft. locally and shipments gan to realize the enormity of these ! nearly twice this amount. T think men's treatment. After that I l>egan to get mad. The madder I got the stronger I got. Presently I got up and made a dive for Mason. His two men came upon me, but 1 seemed to have the strength of Hercules. After beating Mason awhile I carried him to the shaft and threw him down. The two men by this time were frightened and ran. I ran after them, caught one, gave him a drubbing, then caught the other and did the same by him. "When I came to myself I feared that I had killed Mason. I went to the shaft and heard him groaning at the bottom. I put one of his men In the bucket and lowered him. He got Mason in it, and T hauled him up, then hauled the other up. That's all I have to say, Judge. If It \n murder, 'make the most of it.' " "Mr. Parkinson," 1 said, "you seem to be a very young man. How is It that your hnir is prematurely white?" "White?" he said. "It's black." I called for a small mirror hauglug outside in the washroom and handed it to him. He looked at his hair with astonishment; then his anger returned, and I saw that he was about to spring upon Mason anew. "Hold!" I cried. "I will give your tormentor the rest of his punishment. Thomas Mason, stand up. The decision of the court Is that, while harmleaf practical jokei have such a bold on the people of thia country that they can't be weeded out, such a joke as you perpetrated on this gentleman is attempted homicide. You go to state prison for three years, and yoti^ Peter about two thirds cf the mills in the state are closed down all together, It looked rather bad here for a while but at present it is improving. We have a very pleasant winter here so far about a dozen light frosts, bat no snow in the valley although the mountains are covered most of the time. We have had about as much rain as sunshine, so I think O.egon is a very pleasant place to live. Hoping you are prospering and will thank you for a letter, I remain Yours very truly, Chas. P.

Dear Friend:— It is time the young and old Boys and Girls were providing tbe munitions of war for tbe tbiid reunion. I therefore e n - close draft for 15.00 to statt tbe subscription list for tbe expenses and 12.00 for dues. Now everybody get busy with the needful and provide a good big fund for tbe August festivities. I was in Boston last summer, just before tbe Old Home Week and wa« surprised to see tbe deep interest displayed in that large city. As to my suggestions in orevious letter, they were merely suggestive. I remember with keen delight, the many picnics at Portage (The Bluffs) and Silver lake, and for one, would like to enjoy another good big ieatiTAl there. Attendee** «t«J* t e V H t compulsory, nor any way, with tbe b% town. The reception in the Opera House and the big picnic should always be held. Another suggestion:— let tbe pood people of Pinckney and vicinity open their homes (as they all do their hearts) with evening partiea during tbe week. All will enjay eboeyfof % know the few evenings tpejftt rbit »fjjp four years ago were most | ^ l n e l k t r ^ ' Now kindly send your r r ^ S r ^ d b ^ scriptions for Od Home Week, to the Secretary at Pmckney, think and write some of tbe good things you would like to see next August, talk and work for the third and reunion, August 1908.

His business career began when be entered into partnership with his father and brother Eugene, under the style of "Alvin Mann & Sons/' carrying on the mercantile business which his lather bad established in the earliest years of Pinckney's history. On his father's retiring from the firm, the brothers carried on the business until the death of Eugene, left Edward A. the sole survivor of the firm. Mr. Mann conducted the business successfully until the gre it fire of 1887 wbich swept away everything between the brick store and Mill street. Mr. Mann was a beayy looser by this fire, not only in the loss of bis stock and store building, with tittle insurance, but in the loss of his occupation and business looting. With the rtmnant ot bis fortune he then bought the Pinckney Mill, which be operated for number of years, but not finding that business to his liking he sold out ot that and 1899 removed to Detroit where he was engaged as stock keeper for the Michigan Brass & Iron works.

An advertisement lately appeared in the papers of Pittsburg announcing that by the payment of a certain liberal euro of money a limited number of persons of wealth and high, social position cqujd secure the privilege . of presentation at the English court. The young man who Inserted the advertisement was arrested aa a swindler, in spite of his insistence that he could do all he had promised; but the most interesting phase of the affair was the large number of persons who were eager to accept his offer. They flocked to the hotel in si^i eagerness and were so anxious Jim. I i among- the chosen that the po- . 3 ^ %P difficulty in .getting them to f t JMNie- To the outsider of wellbalanced mind there must always be something amusing in such an exhibition of snobbery, says the . Youth's Companion. Yet this was only one form of a trait which exists in some shape and to some degree In most persons. The snobs who will pay to be presented to court are separated by no very clear line from those who will pay to get their names into "A Thousand Great Men" or "The Bluebloods of New York;" and hundreds of others who hold themselves far above such crude and overt snobbery as this will nevertheless pay what is virtually blackmail of one sort or another to buy the social approval or escape the social censure of their fellows. Snobbery of whatever kind is a heel of Achilles to the possessor. Although he may be covered with the armor of intelligence, good Intentions and experience he will still be vulnerable through his vanity. None know this better than the swindlers and "bunco-steerers'" who make their living by it. They love the snob because they know that snobbery and courage seldom go together. Prof. Albert A. Michelson of the University of Chicago is the first American man of science—he was born in Germany—to receive one of the Nobel prizes. He came to this country at an -early age, however, and * was brought up in San Francisco. He was graduated from the United States Naval academy in 1873 and served for • time in the navy. Intending to retire ^ ¾ civil life, he studied in Germany arid France, and prepared himself for work as a professor of physics. The Nobel prize, which amounts to about $40,000, is conferred on him for his invention of an instrument for measuring the velocity of light. On the same day that the award to him was the Royal society of EngiteeV to him in London the Idal for the same discovery, snd a few months earlier a JBelgiaa prize of $10,000 was awarded to aim. President Roosevelt is ta* only outer American—and he is of Dutch descent —to receive the Nobel prize. It was Kiven to him for his efforts in behalf of peace. THE RESIGNATION WAS PREPARED AND SENT TO LANSING, TUESDAY, FOR DELIVERY TO THE GOVERNOR PERSONALLY. State Treasurer Glaaier has resigned^ Toe, governor lied .specific, charges .against .Glazier several days ago, charging him with misfeasance: and malfeasance .in office, among other things being criticised in the manner of depositing the state's money in the Chelsea bank without adequate security.

Glazier's point that he did not violate the state law by depositing $680,000 of state funds in the Chelsea bank is overturned by the decisions of the supreme conrt in similar caaes.

Back in 1891 a law was enacted which prohibits the use of oleomargerine or butterine in any state institution. It makes it a misdemeanor for the manager or superintendent to use the manufactured product instead of the home-made. Last week the boards of control of the several state asylums were in session at Kalamazoo discussing ways to economize and they finally decided to use butterine.

Into that dark hole he dived again, as a starved dog leaps for food, seized the cans, two at a time, almost tumble$ back, and emptied them. Four had been filled with gold coin and two staffed with paper money.

Th^ two abandoned canoe* and th* trusty rifle had seemed aja a«- •urance of tragic Import, and yet no proof, of thit outlaw's death. /That this cave had been his lair, could not be doubted; and so momentous was HUM discovery, and so anxious was Old Cy to rescue this fortune, that be bled with a audden dread. But ho alga of human presence met hia sweeping look. , Th? lake still rlpPlea %nd arrjil*^ ta the sunlight. Two dW, a buak, ta£ doe, were feeding on the ruahgrown shore just acroas, while at his feet that rusty rifle still uttered its fatal message; . Once more Old Cy glanced all about, and then entered the cave again. Here, in the dim light and with trembling hands, he filled the cans once more, and almost staggered, so faint was he from excitement, be hurried to the canoe, and packing them in its bow, covered the precious cargo with his blanket. Then he ran like a deer back to the cave, closed it with the slab, grasped his rifle, and not even looking at the rusty one, bounded down the path to his canoe again, launched it, and pushed off. Never before- had it seemed so frail a craft. And now, as he swung its prow around toward the outlet, a curious object met his eyes. Far up the lake, and where no ripple concealed it, lay what looked like a floating log, clasped by a human arm. What intuition led him hither, Old Cy never could explain, for escape from the lake was now his sole thought. And yet, with one sweep of his paddle he turned his canoe and sped across the lake. And now, as he neared this object, it slowly outlined itself, and he saw a grewsome sight,—two bloated corpses grasping one another as if in a death grapple. One had hair of bronze, red, the other a hideously scarred face with lips drawn and teeth exposed. Hate, Horror and Death personified. Only for a moment did Old Cy ww safe in ooae tank in. her name. . And now, with so much of his future moves; dedd»d upon, he hurried to t h * c*bht gttetrf finst* urg*4 *tf» to 'fcMt4r Suifcorv w, tecttriug i Old Cy Now Gazed at it. glance at this ghastly sight, and then he turned again and sped back across the lake. The bright sun still smiled calm and serene, the morning breeze still kissed the blue water, the two deer still watched him with curious eyes; but he saw them not—only the winsome £ace and appealing eyes of Chip as he last beheld them. And now in the prow of his canoe lay her fortune, her heritage, which was, after all, but scant return for all the shame and sigrna so far meted out to her. It was almost sunset ere Old Cy, his nerves still quivering and wearied as never before, crossed the little lake and breathed a sigh of heart-felt gratitude as he drew his* canoe out on the sandy shore near the Ice house. No one was in sight, nor likely to be. A thin column of smoke rising from the cabin showed that the hermit was still on earth, and now for the first time. Old Cy sat down and considered his plans for the near future. First and foremost, not a soul, not even his old trusted companion here, not even. Martin, or Angle, and certainly not Ray, must learn what had now come into his possession. Neither must his journey to.this far-off lake or aught he had learned there be disclosed. But how was he to escape from the woods and these people, soon to arrive for their summer sojourn? And what if Chip herself should come? Two conclusions forced themselves upon him now: first, he must so conceal the fortune that none of these friends even could suspect its presence; next, he must by some pretext leave here aa soon as Martin and his party arrived, and cease not his watchful care until Chip's heritage In Ave minute* the can* of gold were buried deep in the sand, and upon Old Cy's person the bins found concealment. How. much it all amounted .to, he had not even guessed, nor scarce thought To aejeure it and bear it safely away from this now almost accursed lake had been his sole thought and must be until locks and bolts could guard It better. That night Old Cy hardly £lept a moment. 'Two days after, just as the sun was ne ring the mountain top, Martin, Ansie, Levi and Ray wteredjhe l«ge. How grateful both Old Cy and Amu* were for their arrival, how eagerly they grasped hands with them at the landing, and bow like two boys Martin and Ray behaved needs no description. All that had happened in Greenvale was soon told. Chip'* conduct and progress were related by Angle. Bay's plans to remain here another winter were disclosed by him; and "then, when the cheerful party had gathered about the evening Are, Martin touched upon another matter. •'I met Hersey as we were coming in," he said, "and he says that neither McGuire nor the half-breed has been seen or heard of since early last fall. Hersey came in early this spring with one of his deputies; they visited a half dozen lumber camps, called twice at Tims Place, and even went over to Pete's cabin on the Fox Hole, but nowhere could they learn Anything of these two men. More than that, no canoe was found at Pete's hut, and there was no sign of occupation at all this past winter. Nothing could be learned from Tim. either, -although not much was expected from that source. It is all a most mysterious disappearance, and the last that we can learn of Pete was his arrival and departure from Tim's Place after we rescued Chip." 'I think both on 'em has concluded, this section was gittin' too warm for 'em," remarked Levi, 'an' they've lit out." "It's good riddance if they have." answered Old Cy, 'an' I'm sartin none on us'll ever set eyes on 'em ag'ln.' And Old Cy spoke the truth, for none of this party ever did. In fact, no human being, except himself and Martin, ever learned the secret that this mountain-hid lake could tell. But another matter now began to interest Old Cy—how Ray and Chip stood in their mutual feelings. That all was not as he wished, Old Cy soon guessed from Ray's face and actions, and he was not long in verifying it. "Wal, how'd ye find the gal?" he said to Ray when the chance came. "Was she glad to see ye?" "Why, yes," answered Ray, looking away, "she appeared to be. I wasn't In Greenvale but two weeks, you know." "Saw her most every evenin* durin' that time, I s'pose?" "No, not every one," returned Ray, vaguely; "-her school hadn't closed when I got home, and she studied nights, you see." Old Cy watched Ray's face for a moment. "I ain't pryin' into yer love matters," he said at last, "but as I'm on your side, I'd sorter like to know how it's progressin*. Wa'n't thar nothin' said 'tween ye—no sort o' promise, 'fore ye come 'way?" "No, nothing of that sort." answered Ray, looking confuted, "though we parted good friends, and she sent her love to you. I'm afraid Chip don't quite like Greenvale." Old Cy made no answer, though a smothered "hum, ha" escaped him at the disclosure of what he feared. "I wish ye'd sorter clinched matters 'fore ye left," he. said, after a pause; "that is, if ye're callatin' to be here 'nother winter. It's most too long to keep a gal guessin'; 'sides, 'taint right." Ray, however, made no defense, in fact, seemed guilty and confused, so Old Cy said no more. A few days later he made a proposal that astonished Martin. "I've been here now 'bout two years," he said, "an' I'm gittin sorter oneasy. I callate ye kin spare me a couple o' weeks." No intimation of his real errand escaped him, and so adroitly had he laid his plans and timed his movements, that when his canoe was packed and he bade them good-by, no one suspected how valuable a cargo it carried. But Old Cy was more than "sorter oneasy," for the only spot where he dared close his eyes in sleep dnring that three days' journey out of the wilderness was in his canoe, with his head pillowed on that precious gold. seen anybedy like her V they've even dragged the mill-pond.

"I think I'd best go back to Greenvale," he said, "an' begin a sarch for .that gal. I ain't got nobody in the world that needs me so much, or 1 them. I'm a sorter outcast myself, ez you folks know. That little gal hez crept into my heart so, I can't take no more comfort here. Amzi don't need oje ap much »« T need her 'n' I've mjMe SP fliy Eiad 1¾ starf ti-anipln' till I find her.

She won't do no fool thing, like makin' 'way with herself, 'n' I'll And her some whar arnin' her own livfn' if I live long 'nuff. From the note she left, I know that was la her mind." Martin realized that there was no use in trying to change Old Cy's intent— in fact, had no heart to do so, for he too felt much the same toward Chip. "I'll give you all the funds you need, old friend," he .made answer, "and wish you God-speed on- your mission. I'll do more than that even. I'll pay some oue to watch at Grindstone for the next year, so if Chip reaches there, we can learn it." % That night be- held a consultation with his wife. "I suspect we are somewhat to blame for this unfortunate happening," he said to her, "or, at least, some thoughtless admissions yon may have made led up to it. It's a matter.we are responsible for, or I feel,so, anyway. I think as Old Cy does, that this girl must be found if money can do it, and I propose that we break camp and return to Greenvale. If Amzi can't be coaxed to go along, I must leave Levi with him. No power on earth can keep Old Cy here any longer." But the old hermit had changed somewhat since that night he broke away and returned to this camp, and when the alternative of remaining here alone, or going out with them all. .

Existence had become something like this to him, but he could no longer anticipate a vernal bndding forth as the leaves came, but only the sear and tutumn for himself, with the small and sadly neglected churchyard at the Corners for its ending. Snow came and piled itself into fantastic drifts. The stream's summer chatter was hushed. The cows, chickens, and his horse, with woodcutting, became his sole care. Once a week he journeyed to the Comers for his weekly paper and Mandy's errands, always hoping for a message from Chip. Now and then one came, a little missive in angular chirography. telling how she longed to return to them, which they read and reread by candlelight.

Life 8aving and Law. The Roumanians are as curious lu some things us the Chinese. A girl who fell into the river and was swept down by the current finally seized « bush on the bank and drew herself to shore. The owner of the land on which the bush grew immediately claimed a reward of 4 shillings because bis bush waa there and bad saved her. Her father refused to pay, and there was a lawsuit. What tbe law has to decide is whether drowning people can make use of bushes on the bank without paying for the same or whether the assistance of the said bush Is worth a certain' sum of money. In China if a person falls into the water no one must help him out, but at the same time a spectator can be imprisoned for not advising the victim to stay on dry land. Rank Foolishness.

Nothing went right with her. She stuck at the launch, and it eoet an extra ^.'Mo.ouo over and above the sum set aside for the purpose to get her into the water. On her trial trip her l>oilers burst, killing some of the stokers. Then she ran aground and carried on no outrageously that her crew thought her surely bewitched. She had started badly. While she was building a pay clerk sent by one or' the contractors with StJ.rvoo in wages for the. men disappeared. It was not unnaturally assumed that he had 1 K>1 t ed with the money. His wife and family were left unprovided for, with the stigma of his supposed crime upon them. Thirty years after her launch the Great Eastern went into the cemetery at Birkenhead to be broken up. While she was being taken to pieces the ship breakers discovered between her inner and outer casings of steel the skeleton of a man. Papers which had fallen from his clothes enabled his identity to be traced. It was the skeleton of the pay clerk who thirty years before had disappeared. There waa no money; that was never recovered. The supposition is that the poor fei low on going on to the ship was pounced upon by workmen who knew that he had the money w|th him; that they •tunned him and, having a small place In the side of the vessel to complete, trammed his body in and built him np In i t No reward wonld have induced a sailor to nail in tbat vessel had he known of the terrible secret sealed up In her walls.—fhfeago News. i-,', ?..o fur.

In 1002 at Safem, Mass.. a number sf young girls went Into ot» and accused Ncvenil IKM-SODH of havjug bewitched rtieuV. This .Hturted tbe tamous witchcraft delusion. While tbe freuzy was at its height a wonuiu about forty years old was brought liefore the court, a court that had condemned per •one for voiultiug crooked plua and aalllug iu sieves, but a court constituted in exuctly tbe some form as pur courts of the preBeut day.. There waa the prosecutor, tbe advocate, tbe Judge and a jury of twelve good and true men. Tbe judge was a venerable man uearlug threescore years uud ten. He was dignified, as all judges are sup posed to be. aud made nu Impressive appearance in his robes of oQiee. Tbe prisoner was accused of healing the sick miraculously aud therefore with the help of tbe devil. "Iiow do you effect your cures?" asked the prosecuting attorney. "I have n charm which 1 bang about the neck or the sick person." "Let me see It." The woman produced a bit of rolled paper aud handed It to tbe attorney. He nurolled It. uncovering some odd characters scratched upon It. Then he gave It to the jury for Inspection. As each juryman .looked at It the poor woman's doom might be read In his" ominous look. When tbe examination had been finished the prosecutor turned again to tbe prisoner. "Did Satan give you the charm?' "I don't know. It was used upon me when I was a little girl. One day a young stranger came to my mother's house and asked for lodging. 1 was ill with the chills at the time, and the stranger asked my mother why she permitted me to remain .sick when I could so easily be made well, whereupon my mother asked him to cure me. Then the young man took that bit of paper, scratched upon it the characters, and bung it about my ueck. He told my mother that tbe next morning I would be well. What he said came to pass. I never had another chill from that day to this." "And does the charm always cure?" » "Not always; usually. Some have faith and some are doubtful. I have noticed that tbe doubtful are seldom helped." "Describe the young man who gave it you." "He was about the height of his worship, and with features something like, only, being young, he was much handsomer." "Come now. mistress, confess, as you hope for mercy for your sin, did you see horns on the young man's head or a cloven foot?" "His brow was smooth, but as for his feet I could not see. since he wore boots to his knees." "Did you believe him to be the devil ?'• "1 did not, else I would not have worn his charm or used it upon others." The prosecutor turned to the jury and said: "That this woman received the charm from the devil is proved in this: That she has healed a number of persons with it who are ready to testify to the fact. We shall show that she healed one Hiram Oldershaw. one Annie ('aunt and Margaret Sherwoodthe first of a palsy, the second of a fever and the last of chills. Healing by divine power has not l>een possible in fifteen centuries. All healing is by divine power or by the devil, ergo this charm came from the devil. I'nt Satan first Switched the child to whom he gave it. and she has U'en possessed ever since. There Is I nit one way to stamp out these works of hell that are being worked among us." Meanwhile the judge sat looking fix edly at the prisoner. He seemed to lie in a levery, to be reaching back as through n mist for some bygone scene When the prosecutor ceased he asked , for the charm. It wan banded him. | and a singular expression came upon his features. Then he looked up ns if j trying to extricate himself from a I dream * | "Let the prosecutor." be said, "and | the attorneys and the jury listen. For i ty years ago I was a young attorney of j Boston. 1 came to this town to try a ; case, and my client had no money with • which to pay me. 1 was without a farthing to take me back to Boston. 1 went to an Inn nod asked for meat and drink ami lodging.

It is no use to tell a lie unless you are going to accomplish your purpose. Lies can do the work whether they are discovered or not. It is all in the manner of telling them. In the first place never tell a lie when the truth will do just aa well. This serves to establish your reputation and gives your lies & standing they could not otherwise gain. Never tell a big lie to gain a small object, nor tell a little i: > to gain a big object. Let all your lies be big and lusty fellows, aud let them have some big business in hand. These two rules are really imperative if you expect to become a successful and proficient liar. Little lies for little things are not worth telling. Finally, always have the courage of your lies. Stick to 'em. If you are not brave enough to stand by your own lies, why send them out only to be betrayed? A man Is the rankest sort of a coward that refuses to give his lie any support when it crawls back to him from the buffetings, beatingfe and rough usage of the populace, Bruce it up with manufactured corroborative evidence? and artificial confirmation and fend it out again renewed in spirit and vigor.-- Washingion Times.

After a few days ho said: "Capt'.ain, wrhat -would our countrymen do with me if they caught me?" "Well, sir," replied the captain, "if T must answer the question, I should say that if my countrymen should catch you they would first cut off your lame leg, which was wounded In the cause of freedom and virtue at Quebec, and bury it with the honors of war; then they would hang the remainder of your carcass on a gibbet!"

Curious Candlestick. The first candlestick was a boy.

The -reader who ha* forgotten where Uje wprd "Ophir" occurs will find it tn the biblical books of Kings and Chronifllee. Oa« thousand years before Christ King David and the wise 80)01000, his son. sent to Ophir ships which brought back from thence gold Lous stones, ivory and valuiber, which these magnificent imployed in building, their gortemples and palaces. began to think of this subject after he had discovered an old Flemish map of the eighteenth century on which he saw the word "Opsir" printed across one of the least-known districts of southern Cent/ a! Jifrtoa. The first thing that struck him was the similarity of the name* Africa and Ophir. There was first the Arabic word Afir (Ophir), which when Latinised became Afer. It was an easy translation freai Afer to Africa. He thought further and deeper and began to read Christian tradition. All pointed to South Africa. The ancient literature he read made Peters also acquainted with the fact that at all aget since Solomon's time Ophir had been sought in numerous parts of the world—in Arabia, Persia, Mesopotamia, India; it had even been sought in America, and there are ancient Spanish records which state that among the early conqulstadores of Peru and Mexico were not a few who believed that they had found not only El Dorado but Ophir as well. Suddenly it occurred to Peters that the famous gold land, must be in the neighborhood of Simbabje in southeast Africa* U wasan inspiration. - Mm ws* iMiiked for this belief, and - .'tlktBtasjtes* and others with a different •••jtH&rj *Mt an him the reproach that h e - i ^ « e i a Semitic scholar.

And they certainly must have brought hack millions in gold. Only AfriseV * * # * ***• produced •jcjsntities. SB ass description of the Zambesi territory Peters says he has seen innumerable traces which compel him to believe that there and nowhere else was the land of Ophir. Forsaken mines by the score are there, and no less than 75,000 places where gold has been dug at depths of from 30 to 40 feet. Ruins of towns and villages, remains of temples and palaces speak eloquently of the past glories of the region. They point moreover to Phoenician origin. Mighty terraces and towers raised by the hand of man are still traceable. These builders were certainly of a race superior to the negro. One still finds in the graves remnants of things which point to the worship of Baal. But Peters' weightiest argument is that in the Septuagint translation of the Bible Ophir ia called Sofala, and the Arabs to the present day call the Zambesi district indifferently Sofala jnd "the land of gold." Diana of Philadelphia. At the mint in Philadelphia there are to be seen coins far more precious than any which find their way Into circulation. These form a collection of curios, and many of them date from times of great antiquity. Perhaps the most interesting of them is a handsome coin bearing on Its face tbe profile of a woman, which has. a, striking resemblance to the Goddess of Liberty of our own country* Underneath is the single word "Demos," which is the Greek for "the people." On the reverse side of the coin is a beautiful figure of the Goddess Manna, arching her bow, and the inscription, translated into English, reads, Dianna. Friend of the Philadelphia**." This coin was minted some 2,000 years ago at the city of Philadelphia, in Asia Minor, where, as we know, there grew up in later years one of the seven churches of which St. John writes. The prise was discovered some years ago in Europe by a Mr. Mtekto* of Philadelphia. By bias it was appropriatetry presented to the mini at Philadelphia.

The "agent" promises orally that the advertising money will not be payable uutn the land is sold, but this stipulation is not contained in a contract that the farmer signs. In a few days he receives a copy of an ad and not over-courteous demand for money. It is said that twentytwo agriculturists were caught with this bait in Brown County and that one. of them gave up |320. Others declare hotly that they will not pay but they will make a fight in the courts. Oo After It is not necessary for all men to be great in action.

Concentrating all my watchfulness, my activity, my strength. I threw it with one supreme effort, running my foil clean through the body before me and breaking my foil against f.he wall.

He evidently regarded woma© as tile eternal paradox—at once the "parasite" that preys upon man, and the lnsplver who lift* him to the heights. Did Nietseche ever dream of a super woman to matoh his ideal superman? The answer.to that question, says Current Literature, Si found in his.definition of marriage. He said; "Marriage—thus X call the will of two beings to create another who shall be more than they who created it. Marriage I call reverence unto each other, as unto those who Fill." Woman is as neeconsummation of this age as a man; and in ndlspensable mate, the transfigured man of the future, Nfetssehe undoubtedly fore* saw and welcomed the superwoman. '% w Empire of Undreamed Of Possibilities. "The Unknown Philippines" is the title of an article Ih The World Today by Hamilton Wright. He says: "The archipelago is an empire of undreamed- of-posslbilltles. Possibly no country in the world may excel Its unique, and lasting charms. Were It known it would become a paradise for the sightseer and tourist. Yet one who has not left the well-traveled routes will with difficulty appreciate its marvelous diversity and almost limitless opportunities. 1 think it was fortunate for the Filipino people that the Americans came. For there is no way in which the native inhabitants will develop faster. They are initiative and adaptable to a degree, and they progress faster when in contact with the white settler than when left to their own devices. The grasp with which the Filipino people are laying hold of a totally new scheme of life Is the astonishment of the European nations which have colonised the Orient, it room in the Philippines for the present population to in happiness and comfort. It Is lse to ssy corporations will exploit the Filipinos. In the flrst place the corporations cannot hold enough' land, and in the second place the people will not work efficiently if abused."

It was passed on second read* ing after a hard fight. It provides that the legislature shall pass laws for-a uniform Bystem of accounting i* *M state institutions and departments and a uniform system in all townships, villages, cities and counties and the whole will be under the charge of an accounting bureau wh^ch shall devise the system and make proper audits. It sounds simple, butsome of the delegates, have utilized their knowledge, of the length of time necessary for accountants to go over a set of books and have come to the conclusion that such a department would have to have about 150 high priced men. This would make a tidy salary roll to be added to the expenditures of the state. Married in Haste. Ray Davidson and Idella Westover Davidson have been found. YheKfytuuT themselves.

To Fight Reciprocity. Congressman Fordney announces his purpose to attack Cuban reciprocity. He will Introduce a bill now in preparation to terminate the reciprocity treaty. This move Is made possible by the fact that the five year term for which the Cuban treaty was Irrevocably made will expire December 27, 1908. After that date the treaty may be annulled by either country on one year's notice. Fordney wants this country to give the required notice st this session of congress. He has gath ered statistics to show that the United States Is getting the short end of that reciprocity agreement, which, he says, has been especially injurious to the beet sugar industry. Fordney a move is distinctly anti-administration and anti-Taft and probably is intended by him to have an effect on the political contest now going on In his district., Youthful Runaways. The sheriff's officers are searching for Miss Boss Marin, aged 18, and Norman 8hook, aged 16, who eloped from Sterling last week. The girl was employed as maid by Dr. F.

A hand of, men waiting at the comer of the Praco do Commercio and the Rua do Araenai suddenly sprang toward the open carriage in which the royal family were driving _ m . ;to the palace, and leveling carbines, Creek by the grand lodge of Cottr*I which they had concealed upon them, fired. The king and the crown prince, upon whom the attack was directed, were each shot three times, and they Jived only long enough 4o be carried to the marine arsenal nearby, where they expired. The king's second son, the Infant Manuel, was .slightly wounded, but Queen Amelie, who strove to save the crown prince's life by throwing Jierself upon him, was unhurt. Almost at the first shot, the king fell back on the cushions dying, and at the same moment the crown prince was seen to half rise and then sink back on the seat. The. royal family were returning from Villa Vlcosa, where they had been sojourning, and were on their way from the railroad station to the palace. - A stroug guard was in attendance, because of the recent uprising In the city and the discovery of a plot to assassinate Premier Franeo and overthrow the monarchy. But the band of murderers bad selected the most advantageous spot for the commission of their crime, for they were concealed from the eyes of the police until the carriage had wheeled into the Praco do Commerce, a* large square. Before any of the guard were aware. of what was hapopening the assassins leaped toward the carriage^and instantly a fusillade of shots rang out. In a moment all was terrible confusion, the king and crown prince Being shot down without the slightest chance to Bave themselves. Police guards sprang upon the regicldeB, the number of whom is somewhat uncertain, and killed three of them and captured three others. One of these committed suicide after being placed in prison. It is charged that one of the murderers was a Spaniard named Cordova. The bodies of the king and the crown prince were removed from the marine arsenal in two closed carriages to the royal palace, the Paco das Nece8sidades, the late residence of the king, escorted by municipal guards mounted. There is tbe greatest dread for the future of the country, which seems on the verge of being plunged into the awful throes of a revolution with all the attendant horrors and bloodshed. Throughout tbe city consternation reigns and all the houses and business places are barred. The coldblooded murder has sent a thrill of horror throughout the country, even among those who have been workiug politically tor the establishment eventually of a republic, and sorrow is expressed on every hand at the dreadful end of the king and th<> crown prince. Au examination of the wounds of the kins, who was already dead when he reached the arsenal, showed that three bullets had fourd their mark. One wound was situated at the nape of the neck, a second in the shoulder and the third, which was the fatal wound, sfeviffed the carotid artery.

Andab the clouds .rolled away. That Then and there, Chip resolved to do something that now lay In her power —to face shame and bumbled pride and all the sacrifice it meant to her in the end, and reunite these two longseparated brothers! But not now, no, not yet. Before her lay two golden, joyous summer months. Aunt Abby was coming up later. She could.not.face her own humiliation now. She must wait until these happy days were past, then teir ^er "wreTched story, not sparing herself one lota, and then, If she inust, go her way, an outcast into the world once more. How utterly wrong she was In this conclusion, and how little she understood the broad charity of Uncle Jud, need not be explained. She was only •a child as yet In a^l but stature. The one most bitter sneer of malicious Hannah still rankled and poisoned her common sense. Its effect upon Chip had been as usual pn her nature and belief, and this waif of the wilderness, this gnome child, must not be judged by ordinary standards. Like reflections from grotesque mirrors, so had her Ideas of right and duty been distorted by eerie Influences and weird surroundings. There was first the unspeakable brutality of her father; then the menial years at Tim's Place, with no more consideration than a horse or pig received, her only education being the uncanny teachings of had loved and trusted her, seemed horrible. But events were stronger than her will, for one day in the last of August, Uncle Jud returned from the village store, bringing dress materials and startling information. "Cap'n Bemis is failin' purty fast," he said, "so Aunt Abby writes, an' she ain't comin' up here. It won't make no difference to you girlie" he continued, turning to Chip. "I've brought home stuff to rig ye out fer school. Miaa Solon, the dressmaker'*, comin' to-mprrer, 'n' we'll take keer o' ye In good shape. We've made up our minds ye belong to us ler good, me 'n' Mandy," he added, smiling at Chip, "an' I shall go with ye to Christmas Cove, if Cap'n Bemis ain't iraprovin', 'n' find ye a boardin' place." "I'm a'wful1 sorry to hear 'bout the Cap'n," Interrupted Aunt Mandy, as if the other matter and Chip's future were settled definitely; "but if he drops off, Aunt Abby must come here fer good. I dunno but it'll be a relief," she added, looking, at Uncle Jud and sighing. *• 'Twari't no lovematch in the first place, 'n* Abby's mind's always been sot on your brother Cyrus, his life and love as a flower would^ o l d Tomah. Under this baleful tui t and "Pattycake," as he had named her, with her appealing eyes and odd ways, was never out of his thoughts. And so the winter dragged Its slow, chill course. Spring finally unlocked the brook once more, the apple and cherry blossoms came, the robins began nest-building, and one day Uncle Jud returned from the corner with a glad smile on his face. "Pattycake's school's goin' to close In a couple o' weeks more, 'n' then she's comin' home," he announced, and Aunt Mandy, her face beaming, made haste to wipe her "specs" and read the joyous tidings. For a few days Uncle Jud acted as if he had forgotten something and knew not where to look for it. He lingered about the house when he would naturally be at work. He peered Into one room and then another, in an abstracted way, and finally Aunt Mandy caught him in the keepingroom) with one curtain raised.—a thing unheard of,—seated in one of the haircloth chairs and looking around. • "Mandy." he said, as she entered, do yon know, I think them picturs we've had hangin' here nigh on to 46 year is homely :nu* to stop a horse, 'a' tfcey a$*»w me feel like I'd been te -a foaeral.

I feel lest as though I'd like to throw a stun at him this minute. You may feel sot on them plcturs, but I'd like to chuck the hull kit 'n' boodle into the cow shed.

Like a dog foreVer expecting a blow, like any dumb brute ever on guard against superior force, so had Chip grown to maturity, a cringing, helpless, almost hopeless creature, and yet one whose inborn impulses and desires revolted at her surroundings. Once removed from these, however, and in a purer atmosphere, she was like one born again. Her past Impressions still remained, her queer belief of present and future conditions was still a motive force, and the cringing, blow-expecting nature waa yet hers. For this reason, and because this new world and these new people were so unaccountable and quite beyond her ken in tender influence and loving care, what they had done and for what purpose teamed all the more impressive. But it wn» in no wise wasted; instead, it was like God-given sunshine to a flower that hea aever known aught except the chitting shadow of a dense forest And now ensued an almost pathetic play of interest, for Chip set herself about the duty of giving instead of obtaining pleasure. She became what she was at Tim's Place,—a menial, so far as they would let her,—and from early morning vnHl bedtime, some step, some duty, some kindly care for her benefactors, was assumed by her. She worked and weeded in the garden, she drove and milked the cows, ahe followed Uncle Jud to the hayfield, insisting that she must help, until at last he protested.

'n' she never quite gin ui> the idee he was alive." •* And now a sudden faintness came to Chip as the chasm In her own life was thus opened. Only one instant she faltered, and then her defiant courage rose supreme and she took the plunge. "Oh, your brother Cyrus isn't dead, Uncle Jud," she exclaimed; "he's alive and I know him. I've known It all summer and dare not tell because I'm a miserable coward and couldn't own up that I lied to you. My name isn't Raymond, it's McGuire; and my father was a murderer, and I'm nobody and fit for nobody. I know you'll all despise me now and I deserve it. I'm willing to go away, though," and the next instant ahe was kneeling before Uncle Jud and sobbing. It had all come in a brief torrent of pitiful confession'which few would be brave enough to make. To Chip, seeing herself as she did,' it meant lose of love, home, respect, and all else she now valued, and that she must become a homeless wanderer once more. But Uncle Jud thought otherwise. for now he drew the sobbing girl into his.iap. "Quit takin' on so, girlie," he said, choking back a lump; "why, well all love ye ten times more fer all this, an' ex fer bein' a nobody, ye're a blessed angel to na fer bringin' the news ye hev." And then he kissed her, while Aunt Mandy wiped her eyes on her apron. The shower, violent for a moment, was soon over; for as Chip raised her wet eyes, a sunshiny smile illumined Uncle Jud's face. "If Cyrus Is alive," he said, "as ye callate, I'll thank God till I set eyes on him, and then I think I'll lick him fer not huatia' me up all these years. "But mebbe he found Abby was married 'n' didn't want to," interposed Aunt Mandy. "We mustn't judge him » • • # « .

Ho one else must be told of this, for it's a secret. ONE WHO KNOWS. But Chip's secret was a moat transparent one, for when this • missive reached Martin three days later, he recognized its angular penmanship and similarity ip the note Aunt Comfort stfll treasured, and knew that Chip wrote it. It startled him somewhat, however, for Old Cy's youthful history was unknown to him, and suspecting that some mystery lay beneath this information, he told no one, but started for Riggsvllle at once. The tide of emotion that had upset the even tenor of Uncle Jud's home life slowly ebbed away, and a keen sense of expectancy took its place. Chip, after giving him her letter, explained that Old Cy was most likely in the wilderness, and that the letter mbjht not reach him for weeks. And then one day a broad-shouldered, rather commanding, and somewhat citified man drove up to the home of Uncle Jud. "Does Mr. Judson Walker live here?" he inquired of Aunt Mandy, who met him a tthe door. Her admission of that fact was scarce uttered when there came a rustling of skirts, a "Why, Mr. Frisble!" and Chip was beside her, at which Martin, collected man of the world that he was, felt an unusual heart-throb of thankfulness. A little later, when Uncle Jud had been summoned into their newly furnished "keeping-room," disclosures astonishing to all followed. "We have been searching for you, Chip, far and near," Martin assured them, "and Old Cy is still at it. He left us at the camp, almost a year ago, came to Greenvale, found you had run away, and came back to tell us. It upset us all so that we broke camp at once, taking Amzi with us, and returned to Greenvale. Old Cy there bade us good-by and started to find you. Ray also began a search as well. I've advertised in dozens of papers, have kept Levi on watch for you at Grindstone ever since, and now I hope you will return with me to Greenvale." "I thank you all, oh, so- much," answered Chip, scared a little at this proposal, "but I don't want to. I'm nobody there and never can be. I'd be ashamed to face folks there any more." "I guess she best stay with us," put in Uncle Jud, "fer we sorter 'dopted her, 'n' not meanin' no disrespect to you folks, I callate she'll be more content here. I'd like ye to get word to Cyrus, though, soon's possible. 1 hain't sot eyes on him fer 40 years, •n'," his eyes twinkling, "I'm jest spll- In' to pull his hair 'n' cuff him." "I will help out in that matter at once, and more than gladly," replied Martin, again looking at Chip and noting how improved she was; "but I still think Miss Runaway had better return with me. We need you, Chip," he continued earnestly, "and so does some one else 1 can name, more than you Imagine, I fancy, and my wife will welcome you with open .arms, you may be sure. As for that foolish Hannah, she's the most penitent person In Oreenvale. There's another reason still," he added, glancing around with a smile, "and no one is more glad of it than we all are. It's a sixty-thousanddollar reason—your heritage, Miss Vera McGuire, for your father is dead and that amount is now in the Riverton Savings bank awaiting you."

There is a great difference In being mistaken for the husband of some middle aged, plain looking woman with a family ready made and receiving a sisterly kiss from a pretty young woman. Mr. Williams looked at the lady admiringly and said: "What is the name of the gentleman you take me for?" "Oh, dear, what shall I do?"«she moaned. "This will kill Edith.

Ita 110 rocky acres la the hea,rt of the Blue, Grass state hare' bee# Purchased, and an asaoclatioa has-been organised to restore its many natural beauties. The log cabin in which the future president was bora was recently rescued from a- cellar at College, Point/ Long Island, where It had been ignominiously dumped after traveling Baltimore, Harrisburg, Altoona, Pittsabout the country as a show. With burg, Columbua and Indianapolis it Imposing ceremonies, it was carried back to its native, sou, and restored to the very spot where "Tom" Lincoln; the father, put its rough timber? together. On another part of the farm, as an antithesis to the hut, and as illustrative of the height to which the son attained from Such a humble origin, it is planned to erect a memorial structure which will be an exact reproduction of the White House at the time Lincoln lived there. Within its walls will be preserved all the available historical treasures associated with His name anil fame. x: ThjL date chaeen.. tm the dedication of the Lincoln farm is especially appropriate, for It marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the martyred president jr?fominent Americana from the north, south, "east and west are expected to be present at the exercises; President Roosevelt has' achurried to Hodgeavitte i^JU* fastest conveyance he could hire, -^ . •.., On reaching Hodgetville the New York man asked that the sue tkm* be held as early as possible,; and he bought the farm for $8,600 about a quarter of an hour before the whisky man arrived. ' The restoration of the log cabin to its native state was a spectacle as Imposing as its consignment to a cellar in New York waa inglorious. It was placed on a special car and escorted back to Kentucky by a sous* of Kentucky militiamen. At Philadelphia, rested under military guard. Gov ernprs and mayors met it at various railroad stations and paid tribute to the life that began within its rough timbers. When the special train on which it rode crossed the Ohio river from Indiana into Kentucky, it was met at the Louisville station with military honors. Col. Henry Watterson and Adlal E. Stevenson made the chief speeches of welcome. The cost of making a park of the Lincoln farm, of erecting the memorial hall and of carrying out other plans is being met by popular subscriptions sent to Clarence H. Mackay, treasurer of the Lincoln Farm association. Other officers of the association are Joseph W. Folk, president; William H. Taft, Cardinal Gibbons, Samuel L. Clemens, August Belmont and Lyman J.

A doctor said:-- "Before marriage my wife observed in summer and conntry homes, coming in touch with families of varied means, culture, tastes and discriminating tendencies, that the families using Posturn seemed to average better than those-usiug coffee. >-*» "When we were married two years ago, Poetum was among our first order of groceries. We also put in some coffee and tea for guests, but after both bad stood around the pantry about a year untouched, they were thrown away, and Postum used only. "Up to the age of 28 I had been ac- -rustomevl to drink coffee as a routine habit and suffered constantly from in* (itecstion. and all ita relative disorders. Since using Postum air the old complaints nave completely left me and I sonietinu'ri wonder if t ever had them." i Nam;* given by Po3tum Co., Battle* • Crneft, Ittirh/ Read, '«The Road to* Wellvlliv," in pUgs. "There's a Reason," cepted the invitation to make the principal address of the day. Had the farm not been purchased when it was for a national park, it might even now have been the site for a distillery. Because of a spring on the farm, famous throughout Kentucky for the purity of its waters, a wealthy Louisville whisky manufacturer had sought to buy the property that he might advertise his product in some such way as this: LINCOLN RYE : Made from the PUREST MAI,T, : : combined with the crystal waters : : of the famous LINCOUf SPRING. : : which gushes out of the rock with- : : in a few feet of the place where . Abraham Lincoln Was Born. Visit our distillery at Lincoln's : : birthplace and See and Taste for Yourself. (All genuine Lincoln whisky : shows portrait of Lineoln drinking : : from the spring.) : As it happened, whisky helped defeat whisky. When it was publicly announced that the long dra*tt-out litigation in which the farm's': title had become entangled waa a^ last ended, and that it wonld be soid at auction on August 28, 1905, the Louisville distiller sent a representative "to bid it In," no matter what the figure. The ageat got as far as SlUabethtown, Ky., some 12 miles1, from Hodgenvllle, where the auction waa to take place, and, as it was Sfunday and the sale was to be held in the afternoon of the following day, he put up at a hotel and "took things easy," intending to drive over to Hodgenvllle trie next morning. But although the trains do not run in that part of Kentucky on Sunday, the bottles do, and the whisky man drank long and often In the barroom. Here he made the acquaintance of a young man from New York, who had come to buy the farm fcr its preservation as a park, and who is now secretary of the Lincoln Farm association. On learning the. purpose of the man from Louisville and noticing that "the tide was comipg ln.^ the > J e ^ Yorker got up at daybreak the next morning stiff1" scenes of the earliest years of Lincoln's life has revived unusual interest in all the associations of his youth. The graybearda of Hodgenvllle, the hamlet which is situated about two miles from the Lincoln farm, ever since they were aroused by ita Bale at auction, have been telling many a story about "Little Abe," when a lad; about "Tom," his father, and Nancy, THE HUT IN WAS WHICH BORN. LINCOLN This log cabin was removed from the Lincoln farm, in Kentucky, and carried about the country for some tlms by a showman.

It waa only a penny ante, five-cent limit game, but then people have been known to clean up a first-rate little bunch of pin money in even such a juvenile game as that, and Jones already had his chips stacked up into four cute little cylinders in front of him. Mrs. Jones would reach over and borrow ten chips or so now and again, and a momentary frown would flit over her husband's brow, but he didn't say anything. By and by Jones took notice of the faot that Mrs. Jones was reaching over into his sub-treasury vaults and picking up chips half a stack at a time and putting them into the pot as fast as she could meet Mr. Goitt's bets and raise him back again. Mr. Jones looked at her when he saw his hoard of chips disappearing, in a way that inquired plainly: "Are you sure you've got it on him?" "Got a straight!" whispered Mrs. Jones when she found opportunity to whisper without being observed, and Jones gave her a look that said, "Go as far as you like," for straights had been pretty good that evening, and tho pot, after the way It had been sweetened, looked worth while. Finally Mr. Goitt called her. "All I've got is three ladies," he said in a tone of polite inquiry, laying down his hand. "Well, I have a straight," gurgled Mrs. Jones. "See—queen, king, ace, deuce, tray!" Mr. JoneB gave her a look that told her something was amiss before anybody had time to say a word. "Why, the ace comes after the king, doesn't it?" she inquired. "And doesn't the two-spot come after the ace, and the three-spot after the two- 8pot?a I'd Just like to know why that isn't a straight!" Mr. Jones watched Mr. Goitt rake in the pot and didn't say anything—not just then. Edison's Advice to Boys. "1 should like every boy interested in electricity to hear what Thomas A. Edison once Bald to me when I was a boy working in his laboratories," writes Joseph H. Adams in the Introduction to his "Harper's Electricity Book for Boys." "I often recall it when things do not go jnst right at first. I asked the great Inventor one day if invention was not made up largely of inspiration. He looked at me quizzically for a moment, and then replied: 'My boy, I have little use for a man who works on inspiration. Invention is two parts Inspiration and 98 per cent perspiration.'"

And when the sentence ts once .passed it: Is unchangeable. A who simply violates the laws of the country even to the point of treason has a chance for pardon, but once hje receives the document bearing the phrase "dismissal with ignominy," it stands just as long as there Ts'breath in his body. Even if he wishes to enlist in the service as one of the men In the ranks this would not be llowed. When caught he would be punished for "fraudulent enlistment." In the old days the greatest punishment was to cashier an officer. Then he would be taken out before an as-N scmbled body of troops or sailors and his insignia of rank would be taken and his sword broken. Now this has given way to a more complete method of exposing his shame. When an officer is "dismissed with ignominy" it is ordered by the president that notice shall be sent to all members of the service -and the crime and the punishment is published in the newspapers not only around the headquarters where he was last on duty, but also In the state from which'he comes or In which he "usually makes hi? home.

'There is no line in which more care must be exercised than in selling diamonds," remarked one of the oldest dealers in Cleveland. "For instance, we don't dare Bhow a man a larger stone than he can afford to buy. "Even a diamond a carat or a carat and a half in size looks like a mighty small affair to pay so much money for, and if a man comes in expecting to pay $75 for a diamond he may get disgusted and not buy at all if the salesman shows him something a little larger for $200. The salesman, if he knows his business, will find to a certainty just how much a customer is willing to pay before he shows him anything. "Then it's better not to show a colored stone, such as a ruby or an emerald or a blulah diamond in connection with other diamonds. If you show some customers a colored stone and then put it away- and show him a good white diamond he will declare that the diamond is off color. It does not seem to be a whim so much as the effect on ilie oyes of the colors in the stones." Habitual umsti ovffcoen* Exact Copy of Wrapper.

Some Rara and Peculiar 8ubatanoea U»ed In Medioine. A writer in Wisaen fuer Alle throws some interesting light on rare and peculiar drugs. Saffron, he points out, would strike an ordinary observer as decidedly expensive at $13 a pound (to change marks into our coinage) until told that it is composed of the central •mall portions only of the flowers of the crocus, 70,000 of which it takes to make a pound. Attar of rosea sells at $112 odd per pound, and it takes 10,000 pounds, or nearly five tone of roses, to obtain one pound of the oil. Aconitine, extracted from the root of monkshood, is said to be the very strongest poison extant, the dose being one six-hundredth of a grain. It Is sold at the rate of $108 per ounce. Turning from the vegetable to the animal worJd In search of rare drugs, the writer refers to the musk of the Asiatic deer, which at $24 to $80 an ounce must be a prize to the wily hunter. In some of the tropical seas a floating, sweet smelling mass of ambergris la met with worth at present $80 per ounce, or $480 per pound in the market. The ambergria ia aald to be the diseased biliary product of the whale. Another peculiar product in use as a drug is a solution of the pure venom of the rattlesnake, given occasionally In malignant scarlet fever.

The "coup de Jarnac" has become a French proverb, and it serves to distinguish a stroke as decisive as unforeseen which Intervenes for the set tlement of any affair. The adage rests upon an incident in the life of Gui Chabot, Seigneur de Jarnac, a noble of the court of Francis I. The He passed between him aud Le Chatelgneraie, ' the dauphin's favorite. King Frauds, i however, forbade the duel. At the sucj cession of Henry II. the old quarrel I was revived, and the overdue duel was j fought on the plain of St. Germain ; with all the formality of the ancient I Judicial combats and in the presence of the whole court. Jarnac was weaker and less agile than his adversary, who was one of the noted swordsmen of the time, but he had taken lessons from an Italian bravo. In the duel Jarnac waited for an epening and then dealt La Chateignerale a heavy and unexpected stroke which hamstrung him. This was in 1447. Ten years later Jarnac was a captain in the defense of St. Qnentin. Eventually he met his fate in a duel. But the "coup de Jarnac" Is historic in the annals of sword play.—Argonaut. ADBITIOJAIIQCAX.

Martin had expected this news to be overpowering, and a "Good God!" from Uncle Jud, and a gasping, "Land saUos!" from Aunt Mandy proved that it, was, Chip's face, however, was a study. f i r s t she grew pale, then flashed *a seared glance from one to another of the three who watched *ier, and then almost did her shame and hatred of this vile parent find expression. "I'm glad he—no, I won't say so, for lie wag my father," she exclaimed; "but I want. Old Cy to have some of the money, and Uncle Jud here, and you folks, all. I w a s a pauper long enough," and then, true to her Instinct of how to escape from trouble, r,he ran out. of the room. • She's a curls gal," asserted Uncle Jud, looking after h e r as if feeling that she needed explanation, "the most curia gal I ever saw. But we can't let her go, money or no money, Mr. Friable. I found her one night upon top o* Bangall hill.

And Martin, realizing its futility, made no further protest, Something of chagrin also came to him, for, broad-minded as h e was, he realized how partial neglect, t h e nar- , row religious prejudice of Oreenvale, and unwise notice of her childish ideas about spites and Old Toman's superstitions had all conspired to drive her a.way She was honest and self-red i r e c t i n g , "true blue," a s Old Cy had ••* Ifcjpd. jrrateful as a fawning dog for all 4*mlkt had been done for her, and in spite of her origin, a circumstance that rarried no weight with Martin, she was one, he belle \flSd, who would develop into sp4ertdtd womanhood.

And now p a y ' s posfclon in this complex" situation eccuVred t o Martin; for this young man's Interest 1« Chip and almost heartbroken a-rief over her, dis appearance had \otxjt since betrayed his attachment. "I suppose you may have guessed t h a t there was a love affair mixed up with this episode," h e said to t h e two somewhat dazed people. "I callated thar was, that fust night," Uncle J u d responded, his eyes twin- Tding again, "an' told Mandy so. 'Twas that more'n anything else kept us from quizztn' the gal. I knowed by her face she had heart trouble, 'n' I've seen the cause on't." "You have," exclaimed Martin, astonished in turn, "for heaven's sake, where?" "Oh, down to the Corners, 'most a year ago, 'n' a likely boy h e waa, too." "And never told her?" "No, why should I, thlnkin' she'd run away from him. We didn't want to spile her plans. We found out, though, her name was McGuire, b u t never let on till she told us a spell ago." And then Uncle Jud told the story of Ray's arrival In Rlggsvllle iu search of Chip. "That fellow is my nephew, Raymond Stetson," rejoined Martin with pride, "he also is a n orphan, and I have adopted him. Chip has no cause to be ashamed of h i s attachment." "I don't callate s h e is," replied Uncle Jud. " T a i n ' t that that jinerally makes a gal kick over t h e traces. Mebbe 'twas suthia some o' you folks said." And then a uew light came to Martin. "Mr. Walker," h e answered Impressively; "in every village there is always a meddlesome old. maid who ini n n m Chip, w i t h Pail in Hand, Hurried Away to the Fields. variably says things she'd better not, and ours ia no exception. In this case it was a dependent of our family who took a dislike to Chip, it seems, and her escapade w ir- its outcome." "Wal. ye'vo got to hcv charity for 'em," replied Uncle Jud, with a broad smile. "Never havin' suffered the joys 'n' sorrows o' love, they look at it sorter criss-cross, an' mebber this 'tin did. Old maids a r e a good deal liko cider—nat'rally turn to vinegar. What wlmmin need more'n all the rest is bein' loved, 'n' if they don't get. it, they sour up in time an' ain't, no comfort to themselves nor nobody else. Then agin, not. havin' no man nor no babies to look arter, they take to coddlin' cats 'n' dogs 'n' parrots, which ain't nat'ral. "I think," continued Uncle Jud, now that we've turned another furrow, you'd best stop a day or two with us, 'n' sorter git 'quainted. We'll be mighty glad to hev ye, me an' Mandy, an' then ag'in thar's a lot o good trout holes tip the brook. We hev plenty to eat, 'n' mebbe a few days here in Peaceful Valley'll sorter reconcile ye to leavin' the gal with us." And nothing loath, Martin accepted. Aunt Mandy and Chip now bestirred themselves a s , never before. The dressmaker was left to h e r own resources, Martin and Uncle Jud rigged flshpoles and started for t h e brook. Chip, with -pail In hand, hurried away to the fields, and when tea-time arrived, t h e big platter of crisp fried trout, saucers filled with luscious blackberries, and ample shortcake of the same with cream that "poured in clots, assured Martin that these people did indeed have plenty to eat. "How did this come to he named Peaceful Valley?" he queried, when they had gathered around the table. "It's very appropriate." "Wal," answered Uncle Jud, "we got. it. from a feller that come up here paintln' picturs one summer, a n , " chuckling, " 'twas all we got for a month's board, at that. He was a short o' skimpy critter, with long hair, kinder pale, and chawed tobacco stiddy. He 'lowed his name was Grahame, that he was in t h e show business 'n' gittln' backgrounds, as he cailed em, fer show picturs. He roved up 'n' down the brook, p.ittin' rocks V trees 'a' waterfalls on paper, alius gittln' 'round regular 'bout meal Ume-^-must 'a' gained 20 pounds while here. An' then one Kontto' h e w a s missin', 'n' so was Aunt Mandy s gold thimble n* all h e r silver spoons. She** sorter took t o him, t o o . h e was that palaveri n ' in bis way." T h e r e now ensued a series of questions from tfnele J u d In regard t o Old Cy—how long Martin had known him, and all that pertained t o his history. It was gladly recited 'by Martin, together with all t h e strange happenings In t h e wilderness, t h e finding of Chip, t h e half-breed's pursuit and abduction of her, and much else that has been told. It was almost midnight ere Martin was shown tq t h e best front chamber, and even then h e lay awakjft an hour, listening t o t h e steady prattle of a near-by brook and thinking of all that had happened. A tone of regret crept into bis voice, however, when, after thauklng Uncle Jud a n d Aunt Mandy, a n d bidding them goodrby, he addressed Chip. "I wish I could take you back with me," h e said; "your return would be such a blessing t o Aunt Comfort and my wife. You may not believe it, but you are dear to them both. I must insist that you at least—pay us a visit soon. Here is your bank book," he added, presenting it. "You a r e rich now, or at least need nevei want, for which we a r e all grateful. And what about Ray?" h e added, pausing to watch her. "What shall I say t o him? Shall 1 tell him to cer—* and see you?" Chip shook her head firmly. "No, no,'J she answered, "please don't do t h a t Some day I may feel different, but not now." C H A P T E R X X V I I I . Sad news arrived in Peaceful Valley a week later, for Captain Bemis had passed on, Aunt Abby w a s In lonely sorrow, and wrote tor Chip to come at once. Her fate was now linked with these people. Aunt Abby h a d been kind and helpful, and Chip, more than glad to return a little of t h e obligation, hurried to Christmas Cove. It was a solemn and silent house she now entered. Aunt Abby, despite the fact that It was not a love match, mourned her departed companion. The mill's pertinent silence added gloom, and Chip's smiling face and affectionate interest was more than welcome to Aunt Abby. And now that concealment was no longer needed, Chip hastened to tell her story in full. How utterly Aunt Abby was astonished, how breathlessly she listened to Chip's recital, and how, when the climax came and Chip assured her that good Old Cy Walker was still alive, Aunt Abby collapsed entirely, sobbing and thanking God all at once, is but a sidelight on this tale. "I couldn't tell you before," Chip assured her, while her own tears still flowed. I was so ashamed and guilty all in one, 1 couldn't bear to. I never did so mean a thing .a all my life, and never will again. Hut when Uncle Jud told me what you didn't, and how much he cared for me, and how you once cared for Uncle Cy, I went all to pieces and told t h e whole story and sent word to Lucie Cy that day. I feel so guilty now, and so mean. I don't see how you can forgive me." Hit. Aunt Abby's forgiveness was not Snow in coming. The past ten days of sorrow had left her heart very tender. In spite of being "book-lamed," she was very humane. Chip's sad life and misfortunes appealed to her, as they had to Uncle Jud, and true Christian woman that she was, her heart opened to Chip. "I hope we shall never be par.'ed while I live," she said, a s the tears came again. "I have no children, and no one to live for but my sister. I am so wonted to Christmas Cove, 1 could not feel at home anywhere else. If Uncle J u d will consent, I will adopt you leglly, and when I am laid away all I have shall be yours." And so Chip McGuire, waif of the wilderness, child of an outlaw, once sold to n human brute, yet fighting her way upward and onward to a better life, despite every drawback, now found a home and mother. No light of education had illumined her pathway, no Christian teaching and no home example, only the inborn and God-given impulse of purity. Relf respect and gratitude; and yet, like a bud forcing its way up out of a muck heap and into the sunshine, so Chip emerged to win respect and love. But all her history is not told yet. She still lacked even a common education. There was still an old man seeking to find her, who was yet wandering afar. A homeless, almost friendless old man was he, whose life had gone amiss, and whose sole ambition was to do for her and find content in her happiness. A wanderer and recluse for many years, he was still more so now, and out of place as well among the busy haunts of men. More than that, he was an object of curiosity ,o all grown people and the jest of the young, as he tramped up and down the land in search rf Cc'n. And what a pitiful fp^est it «v is— his asking the same question thousands of times, this lingering in towns to watch mill operatives file out, this peering into storei a .4 marts, to cc • • ' • • • » . . 1 . . 1 ^ » V i , . 1 ^ * f •'»"•% ^ 1 on again, and repspt i t for months and months. There was still another link in this cnalBr-a boy,, so f a r a s experience gee*, who was only deterred from unwise haste by a cool-headed man. M¥ou had better n o t go to C h i j now," Martin said t o him-on bis return from Peaceful Vallely. "She is an odd child of nature, and you won't lose by waiting. My advice to you is to forget h e r for t h e present, find some profitable occupation, a n d then, when you have made a little advancement in life, go and woo her ir you can. To try it now Is fooysb." It was cold comfort for Ray, One of Chip's first acts of emancipa tion was to write to Aunt Comfort and Angle, assuring both of h e r love aud best wishes, and thanking them for all they had done. Both letters were cramped in cbirography, but correct iu spelling, and in Angle's was a note for Martin, asking that he draw J100 of her, money and send it to her, and as much more to pay some one to follow Old Cy. The latter request Martin ignored, however, for he had already set the machinery of newspaperdom a t work, aud an advertisement for information of that wanderer was flying far and wide. Of t h e money sent her, Chip made odd and quite characteristic uses, imly one of which needs mention—the purchase of a banjo. Had Ray known this, and that t h e tender uXemory i t invoked was t h e reason for this investment, ' he would have had less cause for grief. But Ray did not, which was all t h e better for him. »-fw»3-*-<-a—-s^ GENERAL NEWS OF INTEREST MORSE MAY L I T L O O M A Q R I A T F I N A N C I A L SCANDAL IN NEW YORK. *e ELKINS LAW IN DANGER. A Decision That Would Make all the Victories Over the Trusts Utterly Futile and Void. C H A P T E R X X I X . Life, always colorless a t Christmas Cove, except in midsummer, now became changed for Aunt Abby. For all the years since h e r one girlish ro mance had ended, she had been a patient helpmate t o a man she merely respected. Religion had been her chief solace. T h e annual visit to h e r sister's gave t h e only relief to this motionless life, monotonous as the tides sweeping in and out of the cove; but now a counter-current slowly flowed into it. Chip, of course, with her winsome eyes and grateful ways, was its mainspring, and so checkered had been her career and so humiliating all her past experiences, that now, escaped from dependence and feeling herself a valued companion, she tasted a new and joyous life. So true was this, that hard lessons at school, t h e regularity of church-going, and the unvarying tenor of it all seemed less by comparison. Another undercurrent, aside from Chip's devotion, also swept into Aunt Abby's feelings,—the strange emotion* following the knowledge that h e r former lover was still alive. F o r many years she had waited and hoped for this sailor boy's return; then her heart had grown silent, as hope slowly ebbed, and then, almost forgetfulnt-ss —but not quite, however, for the long, lily-dotted mill-pond just above bad now aud then been visited by them. A certain curiously grown oak which was secluded near its upper end w a s once a trysting-place. and even the old mill with its splashing wheel held memories. And now after 40 years, during which she had become gray-haired and slightly wrinkled, all these memories returned like ghosts of long ago. No word or hint of them fell from her lips, not. even to Chip, who was now nearest to her: and yet had that girl been a mind-reader, she would have seen that Aunt Abby's persistent interest, in all she had to tell about Old Cy meant something. Where he was now, how soon he would learn that his brother was still alive after all the.se years, was the one most pertinent subject oft discussed. How Chip felt toward him. not alone for the heritage he had secured for her, but for other and more valued heart inteipsts, need not he specified. He had seemed almost a father to h e r at. t h e lake. He was the first, o:' her new-found friends whose feelings had warmed toward her, and Chip was now mature enough to value these blessings at their true worth. A certain mutual expectancy now entered t h e lives of Chip and Aunt Abby. Nothing could be done, however. Old Cy had gone out into t h e wide, wide world, a s it were, searching for t h e little girl h e loved. No man ner of reaching him seemed possible; and yet, some day, h e must learn what, would bring him to them as fast as steam could fet'-h him. "I know that he loved me as his own child there dt t h e lake," Chip said once in an exultant, tone. ' H i s going after me proves it; and once he hears where 1 am, he will hurry here, I know."

End of Monarchy Near. The lepublican leaders in Poriugal are In extremely high spirits. They confidently assert that a republic is a matter of months, not of years.

It will come as unexpectedly as did the murder of t h e king and the crown prince, and the' world will wake up one morning to find a republic in Portugal.

The storm that had this section in its grasp for five days and in fact the whole state, let up on its fury Thursday evening and Friday was a fairly good day. The snow plow and citizens have done their best to keep the streets clear but it was of nc> use as the snow blew in as fast or faster than they could clean out and that had to be abandoned. Mail carriers could not make their trips although they made the attempt each day. Few teams were in town during the time and business was practically at a stand still. Friday things had changed and a force of men were ordered out and the work of digging out commenced. The walks in town were made passable and in the country the roads were cleared and where that could not be done, fields were opened and roads made that way,until by the middle of tbe afternoon thtre were roads that were passable almost everswhere, and the teams began to arrive in town. Trains on the M. A. L. were mostly on time only where they waited to accomodate passengers from other roads. Trains on other roads ran when they could but many were taken off entirely until after the storm let up as there were not snow plows enough on the lines to keep the tracks clear. From Old B o y s .

The Younger Matron Oh, no doubt, but it weaken* his father's religion »o!—Indlanaoolls | H H H I I H 1 H "I 11 1-H-H-i-HlOriclaai.] This story presents one ot those psychological pussies that some people shear at as fraudulent, some take great interest In, and to which most people are Indifferent Michuel Keenan, one of the most Qesperute of burglars, having just been discharged from state prison after Serving a ten years' term, was prowling at midnight ou the outskirts of H town looking for au opportunity to replenish his exchequer. He surveyed several houses from their back yards to make a selection for burglary when he espied a figure walking in rear of a house that flouted ou another street. Keenan laid luw uud watched. Was the person bent on the same purnose as himself? He soon discovered that the figure was a man and was walking )» and fro, keeping an eye on an upper rear window of the house he was behind. Keeuan found a loose fence picket and with it stealthily approached the figure. There was a thud, a murdered man, rifled pockets and a body thrown in an open bunker of the house the figure had been watching. Then Keenan went off with a gold watch and chain and a hundred dollars lu money. Not long after the murder Keenan, who was In a distant city, saw It stated In a newspaper that Hugh Gregory, the owner of the house In the bunker of which the body had been found, had been arrested for murder. The article also stated that Gregory was past fifty, the murdered man under twenty-five. The young man was Everet Sturgis and a visitor at Gregory's house. The chain of evidence connecting Gregory with the murder was not given. Those sly fellows—the policewere too smart to give anything away before the proper time. It was this matter of the police that Interested Keenan. They had once proved him guilty of a crime he had not committed, and he was curious to know how their Ingenuity would work in proving a man guilty of a crime that he (Keenan) had committed. So he laid low, living on the proceeds of the murder and taking no great risks to get more. He was absorbed In what was called the Sturgea murder case. Some of the papers sneered nt the police, accusing them of endeavor lng to find in Gregory a victim in whom to hide their stupidity. When Keenan read thiB he chuckled. He believed that was their object. Then came reports of the trial, which the real murderer read eagerly. So convincing were the arguments of tbe prosecuting attorney that Keenan almost believed himself Innocent of the murder ami Gregory the guilty one. But when the prisoner's counsel took up the case he could see no possible ohance of the prisoner's conviction. One thing puzzled him—all tlu> reports stated that Gregory looked aud acted like a guilty man. The next statement Keeuan read filled him with wonder. Gregory had been convicted, and soon after his conviction he had confessed. Sturges hart been a suitor for his daughter's hand. Gregory had bitterly opposed him. On the ulght of the murder Gregory bud gone to bed, to awake nt midnight with nn unexplainable conviction that. Sturges was prowling near tbe house for the purpose of eloping with tbe girl. Gregory for some time thought he had dreamed that he saw Sturges walking without, but so etroug was the conviction that this was really so that he got up, dressed, went downstairs, took a stout enne from the hall, went out, found Sturges and struck him a blow, from which he sank down. He had no remembrance of putting the body in the bunker and supposed Sturges must have dragged himself there and died. When Keenan read this confession he gave a long low whistle of astonish ment. Then ho began to wonder if he had not l>eon dreaming himself and Gregory had not, after all, killed Sturges. However, he still had Sturges' watch, which he had not dared to sell or pawn, and it was convincing proof that he was the murderer. He puzzled for weeks what he had better do. He had no Idea of giving himself up to rfuve an innocent man, but ho hated the police and burned to show up what he considered their inefficiency. One night Keenan cracked a crib and made a fine haul of ready cash. Then he laid a plan. He bought n second class ticket on a steamer bound for Chile. Just before the steamer sailed he expressed a small package to the judge l»efore whom Gregory was tried and at the same time mailed the judge a letter. In half an hour after doing this he was nut on the Atlantic ocean. This Is the letter he wrote the judge: Peri* Juge. Thft pollen^h a lot o' bloket. I got out from behind the bars wan day, and thnt nlto w a s lookln' fur a crib to crack. I spoited a man watchln'. I killed him and took thf; swag and dra^KM him into the bimkfT. I'm Rlvin' you by PXprtSB the watch of the man 1 klllod. The man convictoil must a been dreamln'. I'm off for furln' part*. Yutvs, M I K E KEENAN. The watch wa,-* Identified as having s«longed to sturges, nnd Keenan, In name7 was traced to the prison from which he had been discharged. Gregory was finally set at liberty, and his family united In trying to convince him he I had dreamed that^he JclH^l Sturges. This* he wllruot adnMt,nhough ha con-. cedes that some mental process akin] to dreams may have made him think] that be had committed murder. : "• '" While during the trial Gregory's antagualatu to his daughter's wooer came out, It did not come out till after the receipt of Keeuan's communication that au arrangement had been made between the lovers to elope on the night of tbe murder. The girl concealed th« fact to shield her father. SULLIVAN KING. If you haye Catarrh, rid yourself f j thin repulsive disease.

The young woman (and the woman who looks young) has an unlimited field of choice. A world of millinery is spread out before her admiring gaze; iure to look well with her youthful contour and the fresh complexion of girlhood. The always popular felt is shown in Fig. 1 with a trimming of velvet and roses, and a big fancy feather, bouyantry springing out at the left side, l a Fig. 2, a pretty silk hat is shown with a big bow of ribbon which is a great favorite at present, and is seen in all the range of colors. These are examples of smart and practical styles. Each firl will find a hat suited to her own particular face, and individual style, and needs only to exercise her own good judgment in making her selection. r '^^ws^wwNA<v^rw|si|^,»^^^»** SEPARATE COATS IN , L I G H T M A T E R I A L S • ^ ARE NOW IN ORDER. Separate coats, less warm and heavy than those of the winter season but made upon similar lines, are appearing with the southern models, aud among the prettiest of these are loose threequarter or seven-eighth coats of heavy crepe d©-chine handsomely embroidered or lace trimmed. One perfectly ;J|*vere coat and skirt of white serge has a plaited skirt and a smoker coat whose lapels are faced smoothly with heavy white silk. A folded waistcoat, crossing in surplice fashion and held by two big silkcovered button*, is of the silk, anil the blouse belonging to the costume is of finest batiste/ hand embroidered, Valenciennes frilled, and, with titter disregard to the usual laws concern ins lingerie blouses, trimmed in bands and hnttons of the whjle silk. The lingerie dreys is a decorative part of the gown collection of the woman who, tiring of bleak winter, goes to meet the "iy jjiaV fr j f T U M T with many members ejt tfcV^marfi^t, Rumor h a t it that tho fascinating little pfifecess dress with square, V or round aaek and guiltless of Bleeves, will proife a strong rival of the dainty nock of white, blue or pink batiste elaborately trimmed with Valenciennes, cluny or meehlin lace combined with real or good machine embroideries. In all probability both fashions will have a goodly degree of success. Gold Muff Chains. Muff chains are no longer worn around the neck, as they were in former times. Instead, they are slung from one wrist. All the muffs sold this year have a silk cord loop in one end, of such length that it slips over the arm and yet allows the4 hand to be deeply buried in the muff. This does for the woman who is not luxurious. She who is wears on her wrist a chain of gold links, sometimes jeweled, sometimes firmly attached to the muff by a small ring and sewn inside of the latter, or again finished with a patent; clasp which can be attached to the hand-warmer at a moment's notice. When opening her purse or otherwise using her hands the muff hangs on t&s cord or golden support, which is qff a length sufficient, to allow the free use of the hands. T U R B A N S OF P U R P L E W I T H BLACK WINGS STYLISH AND SMART. Stiff little turbans 'in purple, with large black wings, are stylish, and are worn as frequently with suits of navy blue as with black, indeed, the day of the suit hat seems past, and, while for economy's sake a somber-colored suit is chosen, and must last two seasons, the style in hats changes so radically that even the most hardened economist dares not try to carry over a hat from one year to the next. Therefore, all one's light-heartedness ^an safely be expressed in frivolous headgear - without one prick from u penny-saving conscience. For those who have reached the toque age, which cannot be defined by years, there are some happy thoughts. They have not been overlooked by the purple wave, and can find "just what they want" in velvet of this shade, trimmed with jet, or, still more charming, in purple pansies. One such toque had the entire crown Bfttd band across the front, the light aide and back covered with pansies set close together without foliage, and on the left side a dark purple velvet bow fastening in place a fancy goma in gray and purple, II •frayj n • 11 i .

No Food Commissioner of Any State Haa Ever Attacked the Absolute Purity of Grape-Nuts. Every analysis undertaken shows this fopd to be made strictly or Wheat and Barley, treated by our processes to partially transform the starch parts into a form of Sugar, aud therefore much easier to digest. Our claim that it 1» u "Food for Brain and Nerve Centres" is based upon t h e fact that certain parts of Wheat and Barley (which we use) contain Nature's brain and nerve-building Ingredients, viz.: Phosphate of Potash, and the way we prepare the food makes it easy to digest and assimilate. Dr. Geo. W. Carey In his book on "The Blochemic System of Medicine" says: "When the medical profession fully understands the nature and range of the phosphate of potassium, insane asylums will no longer be needed. "The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, potassium phosphate. "This salt unites with albumen, and by the addition of oxygen creates nervefluid, or the gray matter of the brain. "Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve-fluid, but potassium phosphate is the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by its own law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture the elixir of life. Therefore, when nervous symptoms arise, due to the fact that the nerve-fluid has been exhausted from any cause, the phosphate of potassium is the only true remedy, because nothing else can possibly supply the deficiency. "The ills arising from too rapidly consuming the gray matter of the brain cannot be overestimated. "Phosphate of Potash, is to my mind, the most wonderful curative agent ever discovered by man, and the blessings it has already conferred on the race are many, But. 'what shall the harvest be' when physicians everywhere fully understand the part this wonderful salt plays in the processes of life? It will do as much as can be done through physiology to make a heaven on earth. "Let the overworked business man take it and go home good-tempered. Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung from attending to sick children or entertaining company, take it and note how quickly the equilibrium will be restored and calm and reason assert her throne. No 'provings' are required here. We find this potassium salt largely predominates in nerve-fluid, and that a deficiency produces welldefined symptoms. The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies—this is the only law of cure." Please observe that Phosphate of Potash is not, properly of the drugshop variety but is best, prepared by "Old Mother Nature" and stored in the grains ready for use by mankind. Those who have been helped to better health by the use of Grape-Nuts are legion. "There's a Reason." BRAIN POWER Increased by Proper Feeding. A lady writer who not. only has done good literary work, but reared a family, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food for brain work and to develop healthy children. She writes: "I am an enthusiastic proclaimer of Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I formerly had no appetite in the morning and for 8 years while nursing my four children, had insufficient nourishment for them. "Unable to eat. breakfast I felt faint later, and would go to the pantry and eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, doughnuts or anything I happened to find. Being, a writer, at times my head feft heavy and my brain asleep, "When I read of Grape-Nuts I began eating It every morning, also gave it to the children, including my 10 months old baby, who soon grew as fat. as a little pig, good natured and contented. "I wrote evenings and feeling the need of sustained brain power, began eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts with milk, instead of my usual Indigestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for dessert at night, "I grew plump, nerves strong, and when I wrote my brain was active and clear; indeed, the dull head pain never returned." POSTITM CEREAL CO., Ltd. Battle Creek, Mich A H A N D AS A CHARM. Chinese Nun's Self-Mutilation to Show Retigioua Devotion. One has but to contemplate the dreadful deeds to which the superstitious fervor of the religious zealots of heathen gods lead to realize the darkness of heathendom and the light and liberty which the Gospel brings. We give above the sketch of a Chinese nun made from a p h o t o - graph. She is now Chinese Nun and 80 years old. Mummified Hand. Twenty-and -three years ago she cut off her left hand as an act of devotion to an idol, and dried the hand in the sun. Since then she has worn It round her neck in mummified condition, as a charm against evil. A W O N D E R F U L WORK. Missionary Development in China a Monument to the Christian Workers. Had Protestant missionaries done nothing else in China than prepare and publish the books issued by them in Chinese; start the schools; writ> ten the books in English, containing narratives of their own travels, and accounts of the natives, and of their religious customs and manners; translated native works; instructed the youth of both sexes, and founded hospitals and dispensaries—had these, we say, been the only things accomplished by Protestant missionaries, they would have done a noble work; but added to all these more secular labors is the directly religious work of preaching the gospel, that and Bible distribution, visiting, gathering together the converts, etc., all of which, though less appreciated by the general mercantile community of China, has been as signally successful as the other class of undertakings. J. DYER BALL. Small Contributions. The bishop of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Michigan complains that the Sunday contribution box collections in the fashionable churches in the diocese do not average over three cents for each worshiper. This looks small, though a good deal depends on the size of the congregations in reckoning up the aggregate. In one of the most popular of Boston's churches, says the Boston Herald, where the seats are free and reliance is placed on the free offerings, the contributions are said to average five cents for the morning and four cents for the evening service throughout the yeav. The congregations are very large, however, and the total of the contributions is reckoned satisfactory. Average contributions of but three cents from a small and select congregation of fashionable worshipers ought to be made unfashionable some way or other. They are very small potatoes. To Teach Ministers Sociology. The Presbyterian department, of Church and Labor will attempt a new method for training ministers in applied Christianity. It is said that in spite of the training received in theological seminaries, thousands of ministers in the cities have not been adequately prepared for their work. The seminary faculties insist that this lack of preparation is due to changing social conditions. It is planned to meet the needs of these men through a correspondence course in sociology, having special reference to the peculiar conditions in their local fields, so that they may deal with them in an up-todate manner. So-called city missionary work will be reduced to a science, so that hereafter ministers will be relieved from the embarrassment, of a blundering experiment. Work of Native Mission Society. The report of the National India Missionary society, which has jutft been issued, is very encouraging. Organized Christmas, 1905, with the purpose of enlisting the native Christians in aggressive Christian work for their countrymen, It. has establishRd over 100 branches In the Punjab, United Provinces and South India, started a magazine, collected funds, and begun work in the Montgomery district in the Punjab. There bave been 29 candidates for service, two of whom wore women. The first man to represent the society as a missionary la Mr, .lames Williams, who is described as having, "strong sympathy, great earnestness, and the gift of imparting knowledge ar<l enthusiasm to others.'' ,.

The mere saying of words Is and some men devote whole lives to i t They talk father than act The calamity howteis in any community are of this kind. While the unsucces*f ul business man is talking the successful man is acting. When he speaks he uses words, but he tells facts. He seldom, however, depends upon his own voice. He brings to his aid the trumpet tangoed voice of the press. H e purchases space in t h e advertising columns of his local paper, a n d h e uses h t o good advantage. This is your local paper.
