Dhry yer eyes, an' come down to t h e chiny-closet with me. An' would ye belave it, before ye cud count tin, she had lepped up from t h e sofy, run down the stairs with me at her heels, thrown open the Klass dure av t h e chiny-closet, an' handed me out a fine, big pitcher! Twas a deep, dairk blue, with pink roses an' gilt all over wan side av it. Oh, 'twas t h e handsomest thing ye iver see! So ye can imagine 'twas very set up ! felt the night av the shower, whin I put on me Sunday dress an' started off with me grand pitcher all done up in tissue paper under me arm. Ye see, •'twas arranged that us gurrls was to KO airly, so as we could help Mary lay out the supper an' get things all ready fer the ahower against the time the b'ys come in about tin o'clock. Thin while all was enjoyin' t h e rayt'reshnientH we was to present the bride with t h e chiny. Well, we must all have started at ihe same time, fer by good luck we all ^ot to Mary's kitchen dure at the name time. Willie we were enjoyin' av ourselves there come a knock on the dure, so shairp an' sudden that it caused each wan av us to nigh jump out av our Hkins, Fer a minute we all held back, un' thin Mary stepped to the dure an' opened it, an' there, so close against it that she jumped, stood a man. "Isn't, this Miss llridget O'Reilly?' he says very polite an' pleasant; an' before Mary could answer, he went on, "I'm sure it is," steppin' In an' closin' the dure behind him, "t'er me sister in Ireland wrote me that she lived in this \ory house. She says, 'You will know her by her dairk eyes an' her swate smile.' " An' do ye know that, although he spoke to Mary, he give a sudden look past her an' smiled right at me; although Sheila, an' Biddy, an' Rosie nil continded afterward that. it. was square at thim he was lookin'. Oh, hut ho was handsome! It made your <\ve« glad to look at him. Tall an' straight an' slim, with a laughin' mouth a ^ gray eyes, keen as a eagle's. "I'm afraid I'm not t h e lady ye're lookin' fer." says Mary, in a soft voice. ' M e name is Mahaney!" "Mahaney! \'. he cried, fer all the world like m?'d found a fortune. Mahaney ' ?iot wan av t h e Mahaneys av—" "County Galway," spake up Mary. An' t h e next thing ye knew, before shrt cud say another word,, he had the two hands av her an' was shakin' thim vtp an' down, his eyes shinin' an* the teeth gl<*anrin' like snow in his dark faro Well, the ne<xt thing ye knew, that h'y had got us all laughin* an' car ryin' on tik« wp was kids agin. Och, there waa nothin" that end he done that h e didn't do it! He took t h e fltoekln' that Biddy Winn was "knittin' from her an' knit three rounds before ye cud say Jack Robinson—all the while a-telHn' some joke or a comical story that made our side? ache. Such rompln'! Oh, h e was the great cut-up! We shoved Mary, prctestin* an' acreamin', fnom the room, an' thin we untied t h e presents fer the chiny shower. Well, I'm lellin' ye, I had the suiprise av me life. There wasn't a gurrl there, mind ye, that hadn't a p!'->re av chiny as nice or lv*t;er than TTK> grand blue 'pitcher. I-Yr I he life av me, 1 rould not make it nut 1nsr other cup av fresh Lea apiece. An' h e begun tu sing. An, nh! 'twas t h e grand voice he had, an' Twas a prltty song am ye lver heard, with t h e gay rune av it. All at once he stopped short, looked up at t h e big, square clock tlckin" away on the mantelpiece, an" thin he sort av started, an" fer a minute u shadow tell aerost his face. 'Tnd ye iver hear av Cinderella," h e says, "her that had to lave the ball at the sthroke av 12? I'm her brother, an' I must be laviu" before the sthroke nv tin." "Fer why'.'" asks Rosie. "Fer t h e same rayson," he answers, his reckless eyes twlnkliu' again. Thin h e jumped up an" shook hands nil around. "Good-by," he says to me. "Cood-by, Nora av the proud O'Gradys, your murtherin' eyes have stabbed me to the hairt. An' Sheila, pale Sheila, 'tis like moonligHt on Lake Killarney ye are, an' 'tis niver I'll forget ye. An' Riddy Winn. >•'*» make a tramp dream av home, a rale home, with ye slttin' on wan side av t h e peat fire, knittln', an' him sittin' opposite, smokin' his pipe. An' now, Mary Mahaney, take the blessin' av a wanderer. 'Tls good luck forever, ye know." Thin the h'y walked over t o t h e dure, shut it shairp behind him an' was gone. An' even a s we stood there stharin' an' ready to rub our eyes, like we was just aroused from some enchantment that had been put on us, we heard heavy footsteps stampin' on the snow In W a l k s T i m Hogan outside an' the voices av the b'ys, an' in a minute they all come in—Terrence Mulhaly an' Roman Hinnessey an' Jawn Mather an' Hilly Cronin. "An' where's Tim Hogan?" we asked, lint not wan av thim knew, so supposin' he'd come in anny minute we thought, no more about it. Thin the b'ys ail crowded around the stove an' begun to laugh an' cut up. 'Tis thrue that most times us gurrls would have been ready enough to join in with thim; but all at wance they seemed quite different, "'Tis strange I niver noticed before what terrible manners they have," says Sheila Mooney 1o me, very disgusted. "Comparisons is ojus," I ray piled; "but 'tlfi haird not to make thim." Course, right away, us gurrls all got busy warmin' up the vittles an' settin' out t h e supper; but some way or other the hairt seemed to have gone out av all av us, an' although I will say fer meself, I kept me timper a n ' niver wance fergot I was a lady, the others became very cross an' disputatious. But \ve41ut what face on it we cud, an' before beginnin' to enjoy the rayfreshments, we all presented Mary with our pieces of chiny. Well, you should have seen t h e face on her whin ahe undid thim packages. 'Twas proud' an' pleased a n ' yet puzaled, an' it kept gettin' more so as she unrolled the paper from each grand ornymiut. An' while she was thryin' to thank ns t h e best she cud, in walks Tim Hogan, brushin' the snow off hfa uni form—he is a policeman, ye know— an' although 'twas a very cold night, MM 1 did b« toHtu' yer hiftsface waa r e d an' hot. *nd t h e perspiration was thricklln' down, his forehead under his helmet. Naturally, iverywan began 10 ask fer wby he wa» so laitj, "'TIB fer A good rayson," h»» says, \ery important an' yet cross. "There baa been a great robbery. Almost ivery houae ou Petunia place has been entered rhi» night. Yours, Sheila Mooney, an" yours, Nora Grady, an' yours, Biddy Winn. T h e police thought ihey hud him sure; but he slipped tight through their tingera and vanished likau quicksilver. I did not see him ineself, but Twas the line handsome crook he was, ihey towld me. I'd give something nice to lay me bauds on him." Before he hud finished, Kosie, she slipped through t h e dure Into the laundry. Stoppiu' only to whisper to Mary to kape t h e quiet tongue in her head- 1 cud tell by t h e way Sheila au Hiddy was lookin' at Tim that they had no intintlou av helpin' him out with army information 1 followed Rosie. There she was, sittin' on a upturned tub in that cowld, damp laundry, lit only by a feeble taper, cryiu' as if her hairt wild break. "Oh, Nora," she sobs whin she sees mo, runnin' to me . an' thruwln' her arms around me, "do ye belave It?" "Not I ! " I nays, very stout. "I'd stake me sowl's salvation that lie niver stole anny thing but halrts." "An' me, too," says Sheila, who had come in. "I don't know what he was, an' 1 don't c a r e ; but he was no thief." "Hut I know now," says Rosie, liftin' her head up, with a light on her face an' a kind av glory an' wonder in her eyes. " "Tis t h e prince av the fairies he was, stepped in on a St. Patrick's eve to call on the few that's left belavin' in him." H e n Lays Colored Eggs. Hiram Stilling* is telling his friends all about a favorite hen with a poetic soul and an inspiration toward higher things than the ordinary egg of commerce. He has dubbed it the Easter egg hen, because it lays colored eggs. When a bit of a chick last year, the fowl suffered a broken leg, and was taken into the kitchen to be nursed. It became a great pet, and when it got well spent most of t h e time in t h e house watching t h e women folks cook. One day t h e hen saw Mrs. Stillings coloring eggs for Easter. For several days t h e fowl wore a thoughtful air, and it is clear now that it had taken a firm resolve to lay only painted eggs when It grew up. Now, this hen a t e onion skins and indigo and calico print cloth, which, as everybody knows, can be used to color eggs. And in good time it began to lay eggs. Each egg that it laid was colored, and each egg had a different design, Mr. S t r i n g s refrains from declaring that t h e hen laid hard-boiled eggs, simply as a matter of policy.—Philadelphia North American.

There is not in the world a bridge Bpa.11 in either atone or c o m r e t e which approach** the dimensions of the proposed Henry Hudson memorial bridge to cross Spuyien Duyvll creek, says the New York Sun. The central span of that structure is to be 703 feet in the clear. In uteyl there already exibts a longer arch, that of tfte upper Niagara span, which measures 840 feet. T h e design of the Hell Gate bridge calls for a thousand foot arch of steel. But In concrete there is nothing like the big span which is tu link Mauhat tan to the mainland. The Engineering News declares that t h e largest completed concrete arch is that of t h e Gruuwald bridge over t h e Isar, at Munich. It is only 230 feet wide. The Walnut Lane concrete arch bridge, now being built, has a blightly longer span, 233 feet between faces of abutments. These spans become in significant, even, trivial, when com pared with that now proposed for the Hudson memorial bridge. A better idea of the boldness of the proposal is had from a - comparison with t h e general field of masonry arch conHtruction, since t h e problems of design and erection for arches of stone and concrete are in a measure t h e same. The Cabin John arch of the Washington aqueduct, 220 feet in -r^iian, built about half a century ago, was for a long time looked upon as a n exceptional achievement, being t h e largest stone arch in the world. Only In the last eight years has it been exceeded, and there are now three larger spans in stone, beside the 230-foot concrete arch a t Gruuwald— Adda, 230 feet; Luxemburg, 278 feet, and Plauen, 295 feet. In 50 years designers have ventured only one-third beyond the limits set by the Cabin John arch, and only in three cases have they found it necessary. Now in one leap the present limit is to be multiplied by two and a half. The Henry Hudson arch carries a double deck. The upper or main deck is a highway floor, SO feet wide between railings; it has a 50-foot roadway and two 15-foot sidewalks. The lower deck is to carry four tracks of a rapid transit railway, but as no such line is yet in p r o s p e r , t h e lower floor system is not to be put in place at first, but only the necessary connections provided for it. The total length of t h e bridge, including the approaches, is 2,840 feet. Its cost, excluding speclrd ornamental features, is estimated a t $3,800,000. About one-half of this Is chargeable to the largo arch and its superstructure. Sees Age of Aeroplanes. Henry Farnian, who h a s attracted notice because of his successful aeroplane experiments, believes that within 12 months aeroplanes will be flying from 50 to 100 miles quite easily. "I can fly now as long a s t h e motor works," he says, "and distance is nothing to me." Farnian is 30 years of age and is one of the three sons of a well-known English journalist. Ilefore taking to aeronautics Mr. Farman had made a considerable name in the French sporting world. When cycle racing was the rage he and his brother won many championships, ifiey formed a tandem team which proved invincible. Then he took to motoring, and won t h e Paris and Nice races in 1902. In t h e great Paris-to- Vienna race he gained first honors for heavy machines. His motor-racing career, however, eame to a sudden termination after an accident! which landed him high up in t h e branches of a tree. * < • * . POLITICAL.

MAGAZINE EXPLODED. T w o Hundred Jap Cadets Loae T h e i r Lives. Admiral Yoshlmatsu, commander of the training squadron, reports that an explosion occurred in, t h e stern magazine of the cruiser Matsushima a t 4:08 o'clock Thursday morning, while t h e cruiser was at anchor a t Makang, a harbor of the Pescadores islands. T h e Matsushima immediately sank, until only the bridge was visible.

The testimony established apparently the following: T^hal the cans, both the limited anil the local, slowed down before the crash came;, the limited much more 1 than,, the local. That the cars on Tuesday we! e running faster thfcfi usual on accouui .of the new soh.edUle.

Coroner Parker's jury is an unusual one, as It co§3fcts of well-known business men. ,JThey are: J. L. Hudson, John B. Howarth, Q. T. McCoruac S. 1-. Bird, John Tllley and Henry Hiues. Mr. Hudson and Mr. Howarth are members of the "committee of 114," which was responsible for putting the lid on Detroit, while Mr. Hiues is a saloonkeeper. Mr. McCoruac is a department manager for Edson-Moore « Co. and Mr. Hird is head of the Traver- Bird Co. Mr. Bird sat between Mr. Hudson and Mr. Howarth. Prosecutor Yerkes opened the investigation, which is based on the death of Salvatore Stlfan. one of the three Italians killed, and will remain in charge. First Assistant James A.

We did not sell any wheat yet, us we Intend to keep one nart for uur own seed, and sell t h e othef part to people who want lirht class seed, for there is no doubt if you sow good wheat you will harvest good wheat. We also threshed 9,000 bushels of first class oats out of ItiO acres. SO acres has been full plowing, which yielded 90 bushels per ucre, and SO acreH stubble, which went :I0 bushels to the ucre. These oats are the best kind that cau be raised. We have shipped three carloads of them, and got 53 cents per bushel clear.

The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffle the most skilled physigians who have spent years in the study of drugs. From the roots and herbs of tfce field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their peculiar ills, more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.G.

" For twelve years I had been sufferi n g with the worst forms of female ills. Durinjr t h a t time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell w h a t I Buffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly say t h a t Lydia E.

As one from out side said, 'If you people live as good as your pastor preaches you are all right, and would have no tear of the judgement,1' There was over 100 in Sunday school and a growing interest seems to be manifest. The pastor has organized a catechism class out of the little ones of the church and they are commencing that study. A good idea, as now 19 the time to instruct them in the belie!. Their teachings now will never be fiivgotten. Coma to prayer meeting tonight. Ho, our citizens are not moving out only the annual spring cleaning. Things are growing since the rain.

Gates' way the better, viz., lo announce the subject and step from behind the pulpit and deliver the message by looking into the faces of the hearers and vice versa. The sermon in the evening was very much appreciated. The subject was, "Cheorfulness i n business." There will be no preaching next Sunday as Rey. Gates will be at the Ministerial meeting at Lansing.

JcS&\ riNCKKEY,: - MICHIGAN "In ttod Wo Trust." The pasaage by the huutie or representatives of the bill to restore to the United Slates coinage the motto "iu God we trust" wah accomplished by a vole so overwhelming as to be almobt unanimous. Five members only out of :i60 voted against it. The action, which was the direct result of widespread agitation and innumerable protests and petitions from religious persons and associations, will undoubtedly be regarded as disc-lowing a deep and farreaching religious sentiment through mt the country; and thai view 1» probably just. The controversy which gave rise to thin vote, states the Youths' Companion, was started by the decision to ornit the motto from the gold :oius designed by Mr. Saint-Gaudens, but the coin on which it originally appeared was the two-cent piece of 1864. The period was one of great nation:1.! depression and of deep religious Reeling. The peril of the union lay heavily on men's hearts, and caused the serious-minded to turn their thoughts more than was their wont to the Creator for help and comfort. A Pennsylvania clergyman had written to the •secretary of the treasury, suggesting the recognition of the Deity in some •Jevice on national coinage. The suggestion was passed on by Secretary Chase to James Pollock, a deeply religious man, formerly governor of Pennsylvania, whom President Lincoln had made director of the mint. Mr. Pollock suggested as mottos for the new one, two and three-cent pieces which were p.bout to be issued, either "Our country, our God," or "God our trust.'' Secretary Chase in his reply said: "I approve your mottos, only suggesting that the one be changed to read, 'Our LJod and our country,' and the other 'In Hod we trust.' " Mr. Pollock was a jlose friend as well as the appointee yf Lincoln, and it is regarded as quite probable that the martyred president •tlmself had a voice in the selection of :he motto finally adopted. The hisory of the inscription, therefore, as well as its sentiment, was such as to nake the omission of it seem to many /Vmericans a double sacrilege. Power of t h e . Government. The arraignment before a United States district judge in Chicago of :-.6 uen charged with violation of the antiottery laws and arrested in different parts of the country recalls the extent )f the lottery business until federal •aws rigidly enforced put an end to he concerns so far as existence in the United States was concerned. Loteries of the character possessed in earlier times, which flourished under the enormous patronage enjoyed and which were carried on openly, are now unknown here. The very facts In the ^ases under consideration go to show that the concerns in question were ronducted under false pretenses. They "ould not do business otherwise. Rut sooner or later, Bays the Troy (X. Y.) Times, the federal power which suppressed the great lottery corporations ™ce supposed to be impregnably intrenched overthrew the business, and i demoralizing influence came to an nnd. Incidentally the history of American lotteries goes to prove that nationil authority can do what states some- Imes seem powerless or disinclined o accomplish. And everyone inter !sted in the moral welfare of the people Is content to see such power exercised. The prefect of police oi Paris has »ssued an edict barring all hand-organs 'rom the streets. This action has railed forth a storm of protest, not Mily from the organ grinders, of whom 'here is an army, but from multitudes of residents, young and old, who appear to regard enjoyment of the form jf music in question as an inalienable ight. But the prefect remains firm, md the hand-organs must ge. Just what ground the prefect takes is not rtated, but, remarks the Troy (N. Y.) Flmes, it must seem to the average American at least that there are worse ?vils than organ-grinding. If the object. Is to get rid of the noise, which io doubt 1R objectionable to some sensitive ears, think how much worse is he racket marie in other ways. Some irlsitors to Paris have declared that he noises of the French capital are nore varied, nerve-racking and ear piercing than any heard in the United States.

The reliiarkublt* resemblance, of the two men is noted and commented on by passengvra on the terry. They see a man with snake eyes, which sends a thrill through Dudlt-y. Wilton postpones an explanation of the slraiiKe errand Dudley is to perform, but occurrences cause him to know it Is one of no ordinary meaning. Wilton leaves Giles in their room, with instruction to await his return and shoot any one who p i e s to enter. Outside, there is heard shouts and curses and the noise of a Quarrel. Henry rushes in and at his request the roommates quickly exchange clothes, and he hurries out again. Hardly has he gnii« than Giles la startled by a cry of "Help." and he runs out to find some one being assaulted by a half doaen men. He summons a policeman but they are unable to find any trace of a crime. Giles returns to his room and hums for some evidence that might explain his strange mission. He finds a map which he endeavors to decipher. Dudley is summoned to the morgue and there finds the dead body of his friend, Henry Wilton. And thus Wilton dies without ever explaining to Dudley the puazlfng work he was to perform in San Francisco. Iu order to discover the secret mission Ids friend had entrusted to him. Dudley continues his disguise and permits himself to he known as Henry Wilton. Dudley. mistaken for Wilton, is employed by Knapp to assist in a stock brokerage deal. "Dicky" takes the supposed Wilton to Mother Burton's. Mother Horton discovers that he is not Wilton. The lights are turned out and a free for all fight follows. Giles Dudley finds himself closeted in a room with Mother Horton who makes a confidant of him. He can learn nothing about the mysterious hoy further than that It is Tim Tenill and Darbv Meeker who are after him. He is told that "Dicky' Nahl is a traitor, playing both hands in the game. Giles finds himself locked in a room. He escapes through a window. The supposed Wilton carries out his dead friend's work with Doddridge Knapp. He has his first experience as a capitalist in the Hoard Room of the Stork hlxcliunge Dudley receives a fictitious note purporting to be from Knapp, the forgers of which he readily detects, Dudley gris his filst k n o w l e d g e of D e c k e r , w h o is Knapp s ( nemy on the Hoard. CHAPTER XI.—Continued. The call closed amid animation; but the excitement was nothing compared to the scene that had followed the fall in the morning. Omega stood at eighty asked, and seventy-eight bid, and the ship of the stock gamblers was again sailing on an even keel. The session was over at i.vst, and Wallbridge and Eppner handed me their memoranda of purchases. "You couldn't pick Omega off the bushes this afternoon, Mr. Wilton," said Wallbridge, wiping his bald head vigorously. "There's fools at all times, and some of 'em were here and ready to drop what they had; but not many. I gathered in six hundred for you, but I had to fight for it." I thanked the merry broker, %nd gave him a check for his balance Eppner had done better with a wider margin, but. all told I had added but three thousand one hundred shares to my list. I wondered how much of this had been sold to me by my employer. Plainly, if Doddridge Knapp was needing Omega stock he would have to pay for it. There was no one to be seen as I reached Room 1,'. The connecting door was closed and locked, and no sound came from behind it. I turned to arrange the books, to keep from a bad habit of thinking over the inexplicable. An hour passed and no Doddridge Knapp. It, was long past, office hours. Just as I was considering whether my duty to my employer constrained me wait longer, I caught sight of an envelope that had been slipped under the door. It was in cipher, but it yielded to the key with which Doddridge Knapp had provided me. I made it out to be this: "Come to my house to-night. Bring your contracts with you. Knapp." I was thrown into some perplexity by this order. For a little I suspected a trap, but. on second thought this Reemed unlikely. The office furnished aa convtenlent a place for homicidal diversions as he could wish, if these were in his intention, and possibly a visit to Doddridge Knapp in his own house would give me a better clue to his hahlts and purposes, and a better chance of bringing home to him his awful crime, than a month together on the Street. The clocks were pointing past, eight when 1 mourned the steps that, led to Doddridge Knapp's door. 1 had something of trepidation, after all, as I rang the bell, for I was far from being sure that Doddridge Knapp was above carrying out bis desperate purposes in b4i o/wn bouse, and I wondered whether i should ever come out again, once • bphtmi those ui&BBltv*rluui. 1" hed taken the precaution to ttnd a smaller revolver1, "suitable for an evening call," as I assured myself, but it did not look to be much of a protec tlon in case t h e house held a dozen ruffians of the Terrill brand. How ever, 1 must risk iL 1 gave my name to the Bervant wfcp opeaed the door "This way," he said quietly, and in a moment 1 was ubhered into a small, plainly-furnished room; and at a desk covered with papers sat Doddridge Knapp, ihe picture of the Wolf in his den. "Sit down, Wilton," said he with grim affability, giving his hand. "You won't mind if an old man doesn't get up." 1 made some conventional reply. •Sony to disappoint you this afternoon, and take up your evening," he said, "but 1 found some business that needed more immediate attention. There was a little matter that had to be looked alter in person." And the Wolf's fangs showed in a cruel smile, which assured me that the "little matter" had terminated unhappily for the other man. I airily professed myself happy to be at his service at any time. "'Yes, yes," he said; "but let's see your memoranda. Did you do well this afternoon".'" "No-tj," 1 returned apologetically. "Xot so well as 1 wished." He took the papers and looked over them carefully. "Thirty-one hundred," he said reflectively. "Those sales were all right. Well, I was afraid you couldn't get above three thousand. I didn't get more than two thousand in the other Hoards and on the Street." "That was the best I could do," 1 said modestly. "They averaged at sixty five. Omega got away from us this afternoon like a runaway horse." "Yes, yes," said the King of the Street, studying his papers with drawn brows. "That's all right, i l l have to wait a bit before going further." I bowed as became one who had no idea of the plans ahead. "And now," said Doddridge Knapp, turning on me a keen and lowering gaze, "I'd like to know what call you have to be spying on me?" 1 opened my eyes wide in wonder. "Spying? 1 don't understand." "Xo?" said he, with something between a growl and a snarl. "Well, maybe you don't understand that, eith- V37JJ& TV *yr»r imcr <nzf >rxf H4VX 2c ac•vwfT/SKWTtrr er!" And he tossed me a bit of paper. I felt sure that I did not. My ignorance grew into amazement, as I read. The slip bore the words: "I have bought Crown Diamond. What's the limit? Wilton." "I certainly don't understand," I said. "What does it mean?" "The man who wrote it ought to know," growled Doddridge Knapp, with his eyes flashing and the yellowgray mustache standing out like bristles. The fangs of the Wolf were in sight. "Well, you'll have to look somewhere else for him," I said firmly. "I never saw the note, and never bought a share of Crown Diamond." Doddridge Knapp bent forward and looked for an instant as though he would leap upon me. His eye was the eye of a wild beast In anger. If I had written that note I should have gone through the window without, stopping for explanations. As I had not written it 1 sat there coolly and looked him in the face with an easy conscience. "Well, well," he said at last, relaxing his gaze, "I almost, believe yon." "There's no use going any further, Mr. Knapp, unless you believe me altogether." "I see you understand what. I was going to say," he said quietly. "But if you didn't, send that, who did?" "Well, if I were to make a guess, T should say it. was the man who wrote this." I tossed him in turn the note I had received in the afternoon, bidding me sell everything. The King of the Street looked at it carefully, and his brows drew lower and lower as its import dawned on him. The look of angry perplexity deepened on his face. ' W h e r e did yon get this?" I detailed the circumstances. The anger that flashed in his eyes was more eloquent than the outbreak o£ curses I expected to hear. "Urn!" he said at last with a grim smile: "It's lucky, after all, that yuU hud something besides cotton in that sHul) of yam's, Wilton." "A fool might have been caught by it," 1 said modestly. "There looks to be trouble ahead," he t>ald. "There's a rascally gang in the market theso days." And the King of the Street sighed over the dis honesty rhat had corrupted the stock gamblers' trade. I smiled inwardly, but signified my agreement with my employer. "Well, who wrote them?" he asked almost fiercely. "They seem to come from the same hand." "Maybe you'd better ask that fellow who had his eye at your keyhole when 1 left the office this noon." Who was that?" . T h e Wolf gave a startled look. "Why didn't you tell me?" "He was a well-made, quick, lithe fellow, with an eye that reminded me of a snake. 1 gave chase to him, but couldn't overhaul him. He squirmed away in the crowd, 1 guess." - "Why didn't you tell trie?" he said in a steady voice. "J didn't suppose it was worth coming back for, after 1 got into the street. And, besides, you were busy." "Yes, yes, you were right: you are not to come -of course, of course." The King of the Street looked at me curiously, and then said smoothly: "But this isn't business." And he plunged into the papers once more. "There were over nine thousand shares sold this afternoon, and I got only five thousand of them." "I suppose Decker picked the others up," 1 said. The King of the Street did me the honor to look at me in amazement. "Decker!" he roared. "How did you—" Then he paused and his voice dropped to its ordinary tone. "I reckon you're right. What gave you the idea?" I frankly detailed my conversation with Wallbridge. As I went on, I fancied that the bushy brows drew down and a little anxiety showed beneath them. I had hardly finished my account when there was a knock at the door, and the servant appeared. "Mrs. Knapp's compliments, and she would like to see Mr. Wilton when you are done," he said. 1 could with difficulty repress an exclamation, and my heart climbed into my throat. I was ready to face the Wolf in his den, but here was a differ ent matter. 1 recalled that was a more intimate acqua Henry Wilton's than Doddridge Knapp had been, and I saw Niagara ahead of my skiff. "Yes, yes; quite likely," said my employer, referring to my story of Wallbridge. "I heard something of the kind from my men. I'll know to-morrow for certain, I expect. I forgot to tell you that the ladies would want to see you. They have missed you lately." And the Wolf motioned me to the door whet the servant waited. Here w w a predicament. I was missed and wanted—and by the ladies. My heart dropped back from ray throat, and I felt it throbbing in the lowest recesses of my boot-heels as 1 rose and followed my guide. A^s. Knapp lalntanco of CHAPTER X I I . Luella Knapp. Two women rose to greet me as I entered the room. "Good evening," said the elder woman, holding out her hand. "You have neglected us for a long time." There was something of reproach as well as civility in ihe voice. "Yes," I replied, adjusting my maner nicely to her, "I have been very busy." "Busy? How provoking of you to say so! You should never he too busy to take the commands of the ladies." "That is why I am here," I interrupted with my best bow. But she continued without, noting it: "Luella wagered with me that you would make that, excuse. I expected something more original." "I am very sorry," 1 said, with a reflection of the bantering air she had assumed. "Oh, indeed!" exclaimed the younger woman, to whom my eyes had turned as Mrs. Knapp spoko her name. "How very unkind of you to say so, when I have just won a pair of gloves by it. Good evening to you!" And she held out. her hand. It was with a strong effort that. I kept my self-possession, as for the first, time I clasped the hand of Luella Knapp. Was It the thrill of her tovich, the glance of her eye, or the magnetism of her presence, that set. my pulses beating to a, new measure, and gave my spirit, a breath from a new world? What, ever the case, as 1 looked into the clear-cut face and the frank gray eyes of the woman before me, T was swept by a flood of emotion that, was near overpowering my self-control. I mastered the emotion in a moment and took the seat, to which she had waved me. I was puzzled a little at the tone In which she addressed me. There was — W W — f — — — — u suggestion of resentment in her man ner that grew on me as we talked. ^Vfea MtietJciibtj tuuZ Qteefca* use to try'' Sb« was uot^eautltokl, jtad 1*9- ty" was t o f ^ e t t y ^ ^ c ^ t e j j f r p l y y o Luella Jfnapp "Flne^lpojpng', if said with theturoJi<$r^j|>5slB;' v&t&U Blfe some ldeV<rf«wc»»«i* •")-*»*» "*fa*" * # » -tail iu fitfurtv wrth M***r*>iH**t-w«>»e impressive in their aXJUacUNaueiis.

The admiration I felt for the young woman d«e» eried with every sentence she spoke, and I was ready to do anything to restore the good opinion that Henry might have endangered, and iu lieu of apology exerted myself to the utmost to bo agreeable. 1 was unconscious of the flight oi time tintil Mrs. Knapp turned from some otheT'guests and walked" to ward us. "Come, Henry," she said pointedly, "Luella is not to monopolize you all the time. Besides, there's Mr. luuian dying to speak to her." I promptly hated Mr. Inman with all my heart and felt not the slightest objection to his demise; but at her gesture of command I rose and accompanied Mrs. Knapp, as a young man with eye-glasses and a smirk came to take my place. I left Luella Knapp, congratulating myself over my cleverness in escaping the pitfalls that lined my way. "Now I've a chance to speak to you at last," said Mrs. Knapp. "At your service," I bowed. "I owe you something." "Indeed?" Mrs. Knapp raised her eyebrows in surprise. "For your kind recommendation to Mr. Knapp." "My recommendation? You have a little the advantage of me." I was stricken with painful doubts, and the cold sweat started upon me. Perhaps this was not Mrs. Knapp after all. "Oh, perhaps you didn't mean it." I said. "Indeed I did, if ft was a recommendation. I'm afraid it was unconscious, though. Mr. Knapp does not consult me about his business." I was in doubt no longer. It was the injured pride of the wife that spoke in the tone. "I'm none the less obliged," I said carelessly. "He assured me that he acted on your words." "What on earth are you doint; for Mr. Knapp?" she asked earnestly, dropping her hali-bantering tone. There was a trace of apprehenson in her eyes. "I'm afraid Mr. Knapp wouldn't think your recommendations were quite justified if I should tell you Just get him in a corner and ask him." "1 suppose it is that dreadful stock market." "Oh, madam, let me say the chicken market. There is a wonderful opportunity just now for corner in fowls." "There are a good many to be plucked in the market that Mr. Knapp will look after," she said with a smile. But there was something of a worried look behind it. "Oh, you know, Henry, that I can't bear the market. I have seen too much of the misery that has come from it." She shuddered as she looked about her, as though in fancy she saw herself turned from the palace into the street. "Mr. Knapp is not a man to lose," I said. "Mr. Knapp is a strong man,'' she said with a proud straigtening nf her figure. "But the whirlpool can suck down the strongest swimmer." (TO B E CONTINUED.) Python as Stowaway.

CHAPTER X. A Tangle of Schemes, Do'ldridtfo Knapp was seated calmly In i:iy office when I opened the door. These was a grim smile about the linn jaws, and a satisfied glitter in the keen eyes. The Wolf had found his prey, ;md the dismay of the sheep at the sh;ht of his fan^s ^ave him satisfaction instead of distress. The King of the Street honored me with a royal nod. "There seems to have been a little surprise for somebody on the Hoard this morning," lie sus^ested. "I heard something about it on the street," I admitted. "It was a good plan and worked well. Let me see your memoranda of purchases." 1 gavo him my slips. He looked over them with growing pe; plexity in his face. "Here's twelve thousand five hundred shares of Omega." "Yes." "You paid too much for that first lot." He was still poring over tho list. •"It's easier to see Hi at now than then," I suggested dryly. "Humph! yea. Hut there's something wrong here." He was comparing my list, with another in his hand. "There!" I thought; "my confound ed ignorance has made a mess of if." But I spoke with all the confidence I could assume: "What's the matter, now?" "Eleven thousand and twelve thousand five hundred make twenty-three thousand Ave hundred; and here are sales of Omega this morning of thirtythree thousand eight, hundred and thirty." He seemed to be talking more to himself than to me, and to be far from pleased. .J.'How'g that? I don't understand." 1 was all in the dark over his, musings. "I picked up eleven thousand shares ix^^he other Boards this morning, and twelve thousand five hundred through yJQ^.but somebody has taken in the qUW; ten. thousand." The King of the Street seemed puzzled and, I thought, h. little worried. "Well, you got over twenty-three thousand shares," I suggested consolingly, "Thafn a pretty good morning's work." The King of the Street gave me a i contemptuous glance. "Don't he a fool, Wilton. I sold ten thousand of (hose shares to mvself." A new light, broke upon me. 1 was getting lessons of one of the many ways in which t h e marked tfas Thartipulated. ; '' l" ' ' " "Then' yoii' thlnlc 'thaf sotttoVady else—" - • ' T h e King: of" the Sftreet 'broke ' la with a grim smile. "Never ralnd what I thlak. I've got the contract for doing the thinking fur this job, uud 1 reckon 1 can 'mad to it." The great speculator was silent tor a few muuieiua. "1 might as well be frank with you," he said ai laat. "You'll have to knuw something tu work iutelllguuUy. I must get control of the Omega Company, and to do it I've got to have more stock. I've been afraid of a combination against nu*, and 1 guess I've struck it. 1 cau't be sure yet, but when those ten thousaud shares were gobbled up ou a pauicky market, I'll bet there's something up." "Who is in itV" 1 asked politely. "They've kept themselves covered," said the King of the Street, "but I'll have them out iu the opeu before the end. And then, my boy, youii see the fur tiy." "I've got a few men staked out," he continued slowly, "and 1 reckon I'll know something about it by this time to-morrow." There was the growl of the Wolf in his voice. "Now for this afternoon," he continued. "There's got to be some sharp work done. I reckou the falling move ment is over. We've got to pay for what we get from now on. I've got a man looking after the betweeu-Hoard trading. With the scare that's on in the chipper crowd out there, I look to pick up a thousand shares or so at about forty." "Well, what's the programme?" I asked cheerfully. "Buy," he said briefly. "Take everything that's offered this side of seventy- five." "Urn—there's a half-million wanted already to settle for what I bought this morning." The bushy brows drew down, but the the King of the Street answered lightly: "Your check is good for a million, my boy, as long as it goes to settle lor what you're ordered to buy." Then he added grimly: "I don't think you'd find it worth much for anything else." There was a knock at the door beyond and he hastily rose. "Be here after the two-thirty session," he said. And the Wolf, huge and masterful, disappeared with a stealthy tread, and the door closed softly behind him. I wondered idly who Doddridge Knapp's visitor might be, but as I could see no way of finding out, and felt no special concern over his identity or purposes, I rose and left the office. As I stepped into the hall I discovered that, somebody had a deeper curiosity than I. A man was stooping to the keyhole of Doddridge Knapp's room in the endeavor to see or hear. As he heard the sound of my opening the door he starred up, and with a hound, was around the turn of the hall and pattering down the stairs. In another bound I was after him. I had seen his form for hut a second, and his face not, at all. But in that, second I knew him for Tim Terrill of the snake-eyes and the murderous purpose. When I reached the head of the stairs he was nowhere to he seen, hut 1 heard the patter of his feet helow and plunged down three steps at a time and into Clay street, nearly upsetting a stout gentleman in my haste. The street, was busy with people, but no sign of the snake-eyed man greeted me. Much disturbed in mind at this apparition of my enemy, I sought in vain for some explanation, of his presence. Was he spying on Doddridge Knapp? What, treachery was he shaping in his designs on the man whoso bread he was eating and whose plans of crime he was the chief agent, to assist, or execute? I was roused by a man humping into me roughly. I suspected that he had dorxc j t on purpose, and started by him briskly, when he spoke in a low tone: "You'd better go to your room, Mr. Wilton." He said something more that I did not catch, and, reeling on, disappeared in the crowd before I could turn to mark or question him. 1 thought at' first that he meant, the room [ had just left. Then it occurred to rue that it was the room Henry had occupied—the room In which I had spent my first dreadful night in San Francisco, and had not revisited In the thirty hours since I bad left It. The advice aimed by inclination, and iu a few minutes I was watering the dingy building and climbing the worn and creaking.stairs. The place lost its air of mystery iu the broad sunshine arid penetrating daylight, and though its interior was as gloomy aa ever, it lacked the haunting suggestions it had borrowed from darkness and the night. Slipped under the door 1 found two notes. One was from Detective Coogau, and read: "Inquest thio afternoon. Don't want you. Have another story. Do you want the body?" The other was iu a women's hand, and the faint perfume of the first note I had received ruse from the sheet. It read: "I do not understand your silence. The money is ready. What Is the matter?" The officer's note was easy enough to answer. 1 found paper, and, assuring Detective Coogan of my gratitude at escaping the inquest, 1 asked him to turn the body over to the undertaker to be buried at my order. The other note was more perplexing. I could make nothing of it. It was evidently from my unknown employe!-, and her anxiety was plain to see. But I was no nearer to finding her than before, and if I knew how to reach her I knew not what to say. As I was contemplating this state of affairs with some dejection, and sealing my melancholy note to Detective Coogan, there was a quick step in the hall and a rap at the panel. It was a single person, so I had no hesitation in opening the door, but it gave me a passing satisfaction to have my hand on the revolver in my pocket as I turned the knob. It was a boy, who thrust a letter Into my hand. "Yer name Wilton?" he inquired, still holding on to the envelope. "Yes." "That's yourn, then." And he was prepared to make a bolt. "Hold on," I said. "Maybe there's an answer. "No, there ain't. The bloke as gave it to me said there weren't." "Well, here's something I want you to deliver," said I, taking up my note to Detective Coogan. "Do you know where the City Hall is?" "Does I know—what are yer givin' us?" said the boy with infinite scorn iu his voice. "A quarter," I returned with a laugh, tossing him the coin. "Wait a minute." "Yer ain't bad stuff," said the hoy with a grin. 1 tore open the envelope and read on the sheet that came from it: "Sell everything you bought—never mind the price. Other orders off. D. K." I ; gasped with am'azemefet. Had Doddridge Knapp gone road-?' To sell twe4vp thousand five; hundred Shares of Omega was sure to smash the market, and the half-million dollars that had been put into them would probably shrink by two hundred thousand or more if the order was carried out. I read the note again. Then a suspicion large enough to overshadow the universe grew up in my mind. I recalled that Doddridge Knapp had given me a cipher with which lie would communicate with me, and I believed, moreover, that he had no idea where L might be at the present moment. "It's all right, sonny," I said. "Trot along." "Where's yer letter?" asked the hoy, loyally anxious to earn his quarter. "It won't have to go now," I said coolly. I believed that the hoy meant no harm to me, but I was not taking any risks. The boy sauntered down the hall. "Well, I must look like a sucker if they think I can be taken in by a trick like that," was my mental comment. I charged the scheme up to my snakeeyed friend and had a poorer opinion of his intelligence than I had hitherto entertained. Yet I was astonished that he should, even with the most hearty wish to bring about my downtoll, contrive a plan that would inflict a heavy loss on his employer and possibly ruin him altogether. There was more beneath than I could fathom. My brain refused to work in the maze of contradictions and mysteries, plots and counterplots, in which I was involved. I took my way at last toward the market, and, hailing a boy to whom I intrusted my letter to Detective Coo gan, walked brisklv to Pine street. C H A P T E R X I . The Den of the Wolf. The street had changed its appearance in the two or three 4tours since I had made my -way from the Kx change through the pallid, panicstricken mob. There were still thousands of people between the corner of Montgomery Street and Loidcsdorff, and the little alley itself was packed full of shouting, struggling traders. But there was an air of confidence, almost of buoyancy, in place of the gldom and terror that had lowered over the street at noon. Plainlv tha ii _ •? , . II fJ30hc *fw"<Jve*, ;au<l men were* Inspired Tfy %L belief that "stocks were going u j | " v JLi^adAA fe^dlsBWiUuna aecoi^jUpg \Xt T«.kjng /^Qdanage Knapp'sjaUu 1 engaged another broker as a relief i$ Ejupner, a'aiius*_ f^ luan*. with the baldest head I ever saw, a black beard and a hooknose, whose remarkable activity and scattering charges had attracted my attention iu the morning session. Walibiidge was his name, I found, and he proved to be as intelligent at. I could wish- -a merry little man, with a joke for all things, and a flow ol words that was almost overwhelming "Omega? Yes," chuckled the stout .little broker, after he had assured himself of my financial standing. "But you oyght to have bought this morn lug, If that's what you want. It wat hell popping and the roof giving 'wa> all at once." The little man had a t abundant stock of profanity which he used unconsciously and with suet original variations that one almost for got the blasphemy of it while listen Ing to him. "You ought to have beet there," he continued, "and watched tin; boys shell 'em out!" "Yes, I heard you had lively times.' "Boiling," he said with coruscating additions in the way of speech and gesture. "If it hadn't been for Deck er and some fellow we havu't had a chance to make out yet the bottom ol the market would have been resting ou the roof of the lower regions." The little man's remark* was slightly more direct and forcible, but this will do for a revised version. "Decker!" I exclaimed, pricking up my ears. "I thought he had quit the market." As I had never heard of Mr. Decker before that moment this was not exactly the truth, but I thought it would serve me better. "Decker out of It!" gasped Wallbridge, his bald head positively glistening at the absurdity of the idea. "He'll be out of it when he's carried out." "I meant out of Omega. Is he getting up a deal?" The little broker looked vexed, as though it crossed his mind that he had said too much. "Oh, no. Guess not. Don't think he is," he said rapidly. "Just wanted to save the market, I guess. If Omega had gone five points lower there would have been the sickest times in the Street that we've seen since the Bank of California closed and the shop across the way"—pointing his thumb at the Kxchange—"had to be shut up. But maybe it wasn't Decker, you know. That's just what was rumored on the Street, you know." I suspected that my little broker knew more than he was willing to tell, but 1 forbore to press him further, and gave him the order to buy all the Omega stock he could pick up under fifty. In the Exchange all was excitement, and the first call brought a roar of struggling brokers. I could make nothing of the clamor, but my nearest neighbor shouted in my ear: "A strong market!" "ll looks that way," I shouted back. It certainly was strong in noise, I made out. at, last that, prices were being held to the figures of the morning's session, and in some cases wero forced above them. Forty-five— forty-seven —fifty-five— Omega was going up by leaps. 1 blessed the forethought that had suggested to me to put a limit on Wallbridge .at fifty. The contest grew warmer. I could follow with difficulty the course of the proceedings, but 1 knew that Omega was bounding upward. ( T O HC C O N T I N t ' K D . l A Paying Crop. F. W. Burbridge, M. A., of Dublin, In his opening address at the narcissus conference, held in 1S96, said: "An acre of wheat or potatoes may be put. down as worth from £20 to £50, according to locality, variety, etc., but an acre of choice daffodils or narcissuses may be worth anything from £ 5 0 to £500, or even more." The advisability of blending bulbgrowing with the culture of flowering roots of all kinds is increasingly apparent, and thus tho chance of success is widened. In addition, flower production may be regarded as a verynatural aid to the enlargement of the scope of the bulb grower. There is an astonishing demand in large cities for the very commonest kinds of blossoms, and many a grower- is adding substantially to his annual turnover and profits by the production of these ordinary flowers.—Dundee Advertiser. m q m* [ i ' . , — What She Wanted.

TU« blaze broke out at 3:3U a. m., when practically ait the guests in the alx-itory building were asleep, aud spread so rapidly that few iu the upper floors were able to escape through the hotel corridors to the ground floor. The hotel was provided with fire escapes, but few seemed to know It, aa hardly anyone used theui, even though some of the guests have been stopping in the house occasionally for years. The hotel was 50 years old, built of brick und wood. Originally it was four stories high, two mure stories, beiug added a dozen years ago. It burned like tinder. The hotel register was destroyed, »o the list of guests Is not known, but it la thought that 74 were there. There were mauy thrilling escapes, aud many were injured by jumping from the Windows. Chaiiea Benjamin, of Detroit, was killed. F. C. O'Dounell, of Detroit, aud F. C. Phillips, of Calumet, were among the injured. There were 13 seriously injured and a score more i,alufully burned or hurt. Admiral Evans Retires. In a great naval and military parade at San Francises Saturday morning to mark the arrival of the battleship fleet, Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans made his last public appearance as an active naval officer. He will retire from the service iu a few days. Between 7,000 and $,000 seamen, said to be the greatest number of U. S. bluejackets and marines ever to come ashore at one time to take part in a procession in any city, lined up in the parade, under command of Capt. Seaton Schroeder. Admiral Evans rodo in a callage ahead of them. In all 15,000 soldiers and sailors made up the line, including 2,500 men of the regular army, under Gen. Fuuston, and the national guardsmen uud naval reserves of California. Atlanta's Big Fire. Two solid business blocks of /Atlanta, Georgia, are in ruins today as thu result of a fire which threatened for a time to carry its destruction through the business section of the city and perhaps wipe out the entire down-town district. The fire loss may be conservatively estimated at $1,500,000. The Terminal hotel, one of the largest in the city, Is a mass of bricks. It had on his register 200 guests when the fire si.arr ed. a block away. Nearby were several other i m a i hotels, but in these there was uo IO.S-S of iiff nor was there any in the Terminal hotel.

You Would Not Accept Counterfeit Money, Why Accopt Counterfeit Goods? Good money is made by the Government in which you have implicit faith and confidence. Good goods are made by manufacturers who are willing to stake their reputations on the quality of the material offered to you through the medium of their advertisements in this paper. Counterfeit goods are not advertised. The reason for it is they will not bear the close scrutiny to which genuine advertised goods are subjected. Counterfeit money pays more profit to the counterfeiter. Counterfeit goods are offered to you for the same reason. Insist on the Genuine—Reject the Counterfeit. COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

"I had been troubled with it for years, until last year my doctor recommended Grape-Nuts food to be used every morning. I followed instructions and now I am entirely well. "The whole family like Grape-Nuts, we use four packages a week. You are welcome to use this testimonial as you see fit." The reason this lady waa helped by the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it is predigested by natural processes and therefor* does not tax the stomach as the food she had been using; it also contains the elements required for hulhJlnjf up the nervous Rystem. If that part of the human body is in perfect working order, there can be no dyspepsia, for nervous energy represents the steam that drives* the engine. When the nervous Rystem Is run down, the machinery of the body works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be used by small children as well as adults. It la perfectly cooked and ready for Instant use.

Others refer to P«run%#* a great catarrh remedy. Which of thete people are right? 1» it more proper to call Ifcrana a catarrh remedy than to call it a tonic» '" Oar reply is, that Feruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. luiim, there can be no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic.

Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condition of some mucous membrane. There most be somjbthing to strengthen the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces. Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CA5ADEHSia The wonderful efflcac* of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CTTBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Perona which constitutes a specific remedy lor catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLDTSOHIA CAXADEffSIS, COfiYDALIS F0EM08A and CEDEOH SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body. From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Humberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical experience ennflrms a well-grounded theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken. Manufactured by Peruna Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio. x " , z«r. • f t .

They are bhowing you the road to wealth and all that wealth means.

NOW S T I C K A P I N H E R E - Apart from inheritance, and fortunately only a few of us are inheritors of money, there are but two ways to get it. The one way is to earn it; the other to make your money earn it. The way to make your money earn it is to invest it in something that will actually make money and so make your money make money. The important thing is to S E E the opportunity; use the brain to investigate it and have the COURA G E to ACT. Many see, some investigate, but ACTION alone brings success. An investment that is a good one will earn 10, 20, 40, sometimes 100 per cent. May earn 500. You may say can $100 be safely invested and be made to pay you more than 5 or 6 per cent? We answer, it can. I t can be proved literally as many times as may be necessary if proof is doubted. Are you interested to know about it?

While in Howell last Thursday, it was the privilege of the editor ot the DIMFATCH, upon an invitation of Secretary Kichards, ot the Mutual Telephone Co., to attend a meeting ol the board. It was a special meeting and was called for the purpose of looking into the n atter ot the purchase of the Michigan State exchange at Howell and coutrolling the satue. J. E. Scott ot Lansing, divibion manager of the Mich. State, was present and made a proposition to the Mutual and the matter waa disuuased at length aud every aide ot the question brought up. Of com se, if the purchase is made it will open up the city of Howell to the iilutual to aell stock in and many ot the citizens of the county seat have always been anxious to get in with the Mutual aa they realize that it gives them the best all round service with just the peaple they want. We understand that several thousand dollars ot stock has been spoken ior providing the deal goes through. The board ot course are doing some canvassing but before the matter will be closed there will be a meeting of stockholders called and they will have a chance to vol) on the matter and it will be as they say by their ballot. The matter will also be placed be them beforehand in such & manner that all will understand why the change should be made and just what it means to the Mutual people. Personally we are in favor of the purchase and have said many times that the Mutual company should own the exchange in the county. The Mutual was never in better condition than at the present time and we can see no reason why they should not own and control the exchange in the County Seat. The time is coming when it would have to build in the city limits anyway, and they can purchase now cheaper than they could ever hope to construct. Look into the matter closely and be ready to help decide at the meeting of the stockholders whenever called upon. Caucus Notice.

For years after the advent ot steam the cheapness of fuel made water po ver seem of little comparative value. Often it was found in localities that were almost inaccessible for practical use. Today with improved machinery for absorbing water power and converting it into electrical current, a stream that trickles down a remote mountainside or in the depths of an inaccessible canon, the power can be utilized at 10 or 100 miles distance and made to do important work fpr the benefit of thousands of people. There are several good places in this vicinity where the water power j could be made very effective and the i wonder is that some company does | does not buy them up and make light lor the entire country around bere as well as for the several small villages. Why does not some one investigate? The Huron river is making all kinds of power in Washtenaw county but we have a stream near here that would be almost equal to the Huron if developed. M. E.

AKDBKWB, Pub. > PINUKNKY, MICHIGAN To Acquire UraceTuintts. Have you over noticed the great amount uf admiring attention which the graceful girl attracts? Even although tjhe may be uuly plain or moderately good-looking, and not prettily or smartly dressed, there Is an air of uatuiaj superiority about her which farces her upon our notice. This su periority, of course, lies in the fact that the graceful girl knuwb how to correctly puise her body; how to walk and sit becomingly, and consequently, «o matter what she wears or what her features may be like, she always appears to the best advantage. A plain girl who knows how to stand, move, and sit with ease, Is far more admired than the beauty who is clumsy and awkward. Some girls, of course, are naturally graceful. But there is no reason why those who are lacking In this respect should not add to their charms by carefully cultivating the art. An erect carriage, a graceful walk, a graceful manner of sitting and rising are absolutely necessary if a girl wishes to be really charming. And it is quite within her own power to acquire these virtues, says the New York Weekly. In the flmt place, she must study her own defects, and the faults of otb«r girls, also, In order that she may avoid them. Do not try to copy the graceful girl offhand, so to speak, by forcing yourself Into what, to you, would be unnatural poses and attitudes. That Is not the way to cultivate gracefulness. In fact, by doing so you will probably make yourself more awkward and clumsy. By always trying to avoid the little faults, however, w h i m prevent a girl becoming graceful, you will, as time goes by, find yourself drifting quite naturally ink, the ways and manners of the graceful girl. MRS. METSKER ACQUITTED OF MURDER, AND RETURNS HOME. FINAL SCENE IN COURT STATE NEWS BRIEFS. Carnegie and Pittsburg. Andrew Carnegie continues to be good to Pittsburg, where so much of hiB fortune was made. He has just announced the gift of $3,000,000 to the Carnegie technical schools of that city, on condition that certain additional grounds be purchased. Mr Carnegie had previously given $2,000,000 to the schools subject to conditions which were complied with and no doubt the same thing will be done now. Acceptance of the $,^,000,000 will mean that $6,000,000 in all has been received by the schools . from this source. But this Is by no means nil the philanthropist has done for Pittsburg. The Carnegie Institute in that city has been given $16,000,000, and it is understood will benefit ultimately 1o the extent of $25,000,000. The $5,000,000 set aside for employes of the Carnegie 8teel Company will be distributed largely in Pittsburg and vicinity, and numerous libraries and other institutions In the same section have been established or have been benefited through the same munificence. Mr. Carnegie, says the Troy <N. Y.) Times, adheres steadily to the purpose announced when he retired rom active business pursuits, and philanthropy is greatly the gainer by his carefully considered and intelligently directed generosity. Goc* Bagk to Livo With Her. Husb»Qd While the Murdered Man's Wife Goes Back to Mourn. Amid cheers of hundreds of sympathizers, Mrs. Christine Metsker left Cassopolis Friday evening for South Bend acquitted of the murder of Carlton Morgan. She carried in her arms a bunrb of lilacs. On the same train bound for the seclusion of her farm near Niles went Mrs. Morgan. She carried the blood-stained clothes of her husband to be preserved In memory of the man in whose faithfulness she still believes. The jury was out just an hour. Mrs. Metsked half fainted when the verdict was announced. Then bhe rushed excited to the jury and s-hook the hand of each hysterically. Mrs. Morgan froze like a statue, She had confidently expected a verdict of guilty. She stooped over and picked up the clothes of her dead husband. "It's all right," she said, in broken tones. "I didn't want revenge, but 1 am taking Carlton's clothes home with w#- I couldn't bear to have them left for souvenirs." Attorney Howell, in closing for the defense, scored Prosecutor Bresuahau's request for "at least a fine of $1,000." He also made a spectacular attack on the "Merry Widows" and called Maude Berhner a "strumpet who came to court in garments purchased by Metsker and other men." "The scenes Mrs. Metsker made w*re not in court," he declared. "We have not exhibited our ankles or our tears to the jury. This little woman has wept and prayed in her cell. Let them punish Metsker, but not her whom he left for the embraces of a painted woman." From the remarks of the attornevs the jury took the inference that Mrs. Metsker would not again live with her husband. Later she herself denied this and the couple will again take up life in South Bend. Metsker left for South Bend early in the dav. "I am so glad—so glad." was all Mrs. Metsker could say when the verdict was announced. Then she hurried to her hotel and M) minutes later wus at the dejK)t. Cheers followed as the train drew out ami she waved her hunch of lilacs from a window The Republican Convention, The Republican state convention for the election of delegates at large to the national convention was held in (Jrand Rapids Tuesday. There were no contests and both delegates and alternate s were unanimously chosen The delegates at large are: E. D. stair Detroit; John W. Ulodgett. (Jrand Rapids; F. W, Gilchrist. Alpena and .lames McNaughton. Calumet. The selection of Charles B. Warren, of Detroit; W. J. Hunsaker, of Saginaw; Col. H. A. Frambraeh, of Chebovgan and John W. Pfeiffer, of Fdmore, as alternates, quickly followed For presidential electors at large Cant. Fred. M. Alger, of Detroit, and George Clapperton, of (Jrand Rapids, were chosen. Congressman Diekema was reelected chairman of the state committee. The platform indorsed Republican principles, Roosevelt's administration, Taft's candidacy and instructed the Michigan delegation to vote for him for president, commending the Michigan congressional delegation and indorsed the revision of the constitution. Freah Air la Needed. Even in cold weather fresh air Is needed in sleeping-rooms. Therefore, at least one window in a room should he open a little at the lop. A little both top and bottom is better, for then a change of air is assured, the cold air entering at the bottom while the warmer air passes out of the top. Impure air and darkened rooms, declares the New York Weekly, are. often the cause of poor health. One feeis much more vigorous In a clear atmosphere with the sun shining brightly. Unless there Is proper vfcatUation, a fleeper will soon breathe up all the fresh air, and If there is not. a conslant supply of oxygen, he simply breathes over and over again the vitiated air thrown off by the lungs. Every morning the bedclothes should have a thorough airing in the sun. Plenty nf covering is necessary, hut. it. should he, light in weight. The M. N. G. Kick. The call for the Michigan National Guard troops to go into encampment at. Fort Benjamin Harrison, near Indianapolis, Sept. 21 to 30, has caused consternation in the Detroit contingent of the militia owing to the fact that the dates for the primary election are Sept. 21, 22 and 23. ' "Last year," said an officer of Company B Friday morning, "the military board made the same mistake of fixing the camp dates for the primary week but the hoard quickly saw its mistake and changed the dates. This year there seemR to be no disposition on the part of the board to rectify the mistake." If any specific proof is sought of the medievalism of Russian civilization, it is to be found in the recent spectacle r>f two generals standing up and shooting at each other for "honor."

LATE POLITICAL GOSSIP Things Said About the Presidential Candidates at t h e National Capital Briefly Told. Steps looking to a revision of the tariff were takeu by the house Saturday when it passed u resolution authorizing the committee on ways and means to sit during; the coming recess of congress. Mr. Payne, New York, who offered the resolution, said that in order not to disquiet the country before election the committee would make no g-neral Inquiry involving the question of Tates in the schedule. After the election, he said, that sub ject would be gone into. Mr. Payne closed the debate by stating the Republican program for tariff revision, "it will be a maximum and minimum tariff, putting us on an equality With France, Germany and Russia in that respect, and we will £o out with that tariff as we did with the Diugley tariff, in the firm belief that we will bring renewed prosperity to the people of the United States; we will broad'en our markets with the nations of the earth, and by that we will bring blessings to all tho people." Mitchell for Vice-President. Democratic leaders in Washington have been canvassing the situation in the various state delegations with respect to the possible candidacy of John Mitchell, the labor leader, for a place on the Democratic presidential ticket this year. Mr. Bryan looks, it is said, very Kindly on the suggestion that Mitchell be nominated for vice president in the event that he, Bryan, should head the ticket. Some of the friends of Mitchell have been sounding the members of congress from Illinois on the Democratic side as to the availability of Mitchell for governor of Illinois The suggestion that he be a candidate for governor is taid by persons who claim to be in the confidence of the labor leader, not to be distasteful to b'm.

The conference of governors centered Its attention largely on the forestry question as the central problem,, exactly as outlined in Chase S. Osborn's letter to President Roosevelt. In thiB problem of reforestation Michigan seems to be taking a lead. Michigan interests long have regarded reforestation as a mighty problem, but academic and hard to solve in a practical manner. The eoluUdn of the problem and reforestation projects on a grand scale are Michigan results from the great conference and all other states are sure to follow. It is certain that the governors' Chautauqua will be fruitful of practical results of all kinds in many forms of endeavor. CONDENSED NEWS. Guarded Mr. Bryan. Unknown to himself, William .7.

The prosecutor refused to consider the proposition. It is rumored that Reynolds "intende having the student* arretted on civil warrants. The Thaw Case. Harry K. Thaw's plea for liberty from Matteawan insane asylum, where he has been confined as insane since his trial for killing Stanford White will probably be decided by Judge Morschauser on Monday, May 25'. Both sides have agreed not to argue the case, but each will present briefs on the question raised by Thaw's counsel at the beginning of the hearing, to the effect that Thaw's commitment, to Matteawan was unconstitutional. Thaw will r e m a i n ' In the Dutchess county court house until the decision is rendered. Dr. Evans compared Thaw& mind to "a piece of linen that was dirty and has been washed clean." Asked ,whether he did not think Thaw fnsane when he killed White he answered: "That, was two years' ago, and I have discharged 500 patients cured since then."

Giles Dudley arrived In San Francisco to Join hla friend and distant relative Henry \Vllton. whom ha wa« to umilat In an important and mysterious task. and who accompanied Dudley on the ferry boat trip Into the city. The remarkable resemblance of the two men 1» noted and commented on by paasen- Kers on the ferry. They see a man with anake eyes, whlt-h aenda a thtflU Throuuh Dudley. Wilton postpones an explanation qf the strange errand Dudley la to Perform, but occurrences cause him to know it Is one of no ordinary meaning- Wilton leaves Giles In their room, with Instruction to await his return and shoot a n y one who tries to enter. Outside there- Is heard shouts and curses and the noise of a quarrel. Henry rushes In and at his request the roommates quickly exchange clothes, and he hurries out again. Hardly has he gone t h a n Giles Is startled by a cry or "Help," and he runs out to lind some one being assaulted by -4 half dozen men. He summons a policem a n but they are unable to And a n y trace of a crime. Giles returns to his room and hunts for » m e evidence that mlKht explain his strange mission. He finds a map which he endeavors to decipher. Dudley is summoned to the morgue and there finds the dead body of tiis friend. Henry Wilton. And thus Wilton, dies without ever explaining to PLud- <ey the puSzlfng work He was to perform In San Francisco. In order to discover the secret mission his friend had entrustsd to him, Dudley continues his disguise -And permits himself to be known as Henry Wilton. Dudlev. mistaken for Wilton, Is employed by Knapp to assist In a stock brok«»raire deal. "Dicky" takes the supposed Wilton t6 Mother Borton's. Mother Borton discovers that he Is not Wilton. The lights are turned out and a free for all fight follows. Giles Dudley ilnds himself c'oseted in a room with Mother Borton who makes a confidant •>f him. Ho can learn nothing about the mysterious boy further than that it is Tim Terrill and Darby Meeker who are after him. He Is told that "Dicky" Nahl is a traitor, playing both hands in the tjame. Giles finds himself locked In a room. He escapes through a window. The supposed Wilton carries out his dead friends' wurk with Doddridge Knapp. He lias his first experience as a capitalist in the Board Room of the Stock Exchange. Dudley receives a fictitious note purporting to be from Knapp. the forgery of which he readily detects. Dudley gets his llrst knowledge of Decker, who Is Knapp's enemy on the Board. The forged note mystifies Knapp. Dudley visits the home of Knapp and is stricken by the beauty of Luella, his daughter. Mm. Bowser. They were women with their heads clove in gossip. . . . "Shocking, tonft'ltr said bfck <v VV "Dreadful!" said ttte other! "It gives '"Jw ttie cseepsi t | Ihjuk 'of It.***. ' "Why dpu't tripy lock hiin up? Such « creatare shouldn't be J lowed to so ut large." "Oh, you aee, uiaybe they can't he sure about it. But I've heard it's a case of family.pride." I was recalled from this, dialogue by Mrs. Bowser's fan. on my arm, and her shrill voice la my ear with, "What is your idea about it, Mr. Wilton?" "I think you are perfectly right," i said heartily, as she paused for au answer. "•Then I'll arrange it with the othera at once," she said. This was a bucket of ice-water on me. I had not the first idea of what I had committed myself. "No, don't," I said. "Wait till we have time to discuss it again." "Oh, we can decide on the time whenever you like. Will some night week after next suit you?" I had to throw myself on the mercy of the enemy. "Vzp. afraid I'm getting rather ab seuT^ninded," I said humbly. "I was looking at Miss Knapp and lost the thread of the discourse for a minute." "That's what I was talking about," she said . sharply—"about taking her and the rest of us through Chinatown." "Yes, yes. I remember," I said unblushingly. "If I can get away from business, I'm at your service at any time." Then Mrs. Bowser wandered on with the arrangements she would And necessary tfi make, and I heard one of the low voices behind m e : "Now this is a profound secret, you know. I wouldn't have them know for the world that any one suspects. I just heard it this week, myself." "Oh, I wouldn't dare breathe it to a soul," said the other. "But I'm sure I shan't sleep a wink to-night." And they moved away. ; I interrupted Mrs. Bowser to explain that I must speak to Mrs. Knapp and made my escape as some one stopped to pass a word with her. "Oh, must you go, Henry?" said Mrs. Knapp. "Well, you must come again soon. We miss you when you stay away. Don't let Mr. Knapp keep you too closely." I professed myself happy to come whenever I could find the time, and ^-¾^ -./ CHAPTER XII.—Continued. "But I suspect Mr. Knapp makes whirlpools Instead of swimming into them," I said meaningly. "Ah, Henry," she said sadly, "how often have I told you that the best plan may come to ruin in the market? It may not take much to start a boulder rolling down the mountain-aide, but who is to tell it to stop when once it is set going?" "I think," said I, smiling, "that Mr. Knapp would ride the boulder and find himself In a gold mine at the end of the journey." "Perhaps. But you're not telling me what Mr. Knapp is doing." "He can tell you better than I." "No doubt," she 8aid with a trace of sarcasm in her voice. "And here he comes to do It, I expect," I said, as the tall figure of the King of the Street appeared in the doorway opposite. "I'm afraid I shall have to depend on the newspapers,"-she said. "Mr. Knapp is as much afraid of a woman's tongue as you are. Oh," she cbntimred after a moment's pause, "I was going to make you give an account of yourself; but since you will tell nothing t must introduce you to my cousin, Mrs. Bowser." And she led, me, unresisting, to a short, sharp-featured woman of sixty or thereabouts, wjip rustled her silks, and in a high, thin voice professed, herself charmed to see me. She might have claimed and held the record as t h e champion Of the conversational ring. I had never met her equal before, nor have I met one to surpass her since. Had I been long in the city? She had been here only a week. Came from Maine way. This was a dear, dreadful City with stich nice people and such dreadful winds, wasn't it? And then she gave me a catalogue of the places she had visited, and the attractions of San Francisco, with a wealth of dotail and a poverty of interest that was little less than marvelous. Fortunately she required nothing but an occasional murmur of assent in the way of answer from me. I looked across the room to the corner where Luella was entertain.** the insignificant Inman. How vivacious and Jq'teXUg^jBt »he appeared! Her facfe and figure grew on me in attractiveness^ and J felt thai; X was bain*. very Dadlyuaad. >As i came tc**Ms*p©iivt I was roused by the sound of (wo low voices thA*.Ju*t'beJMnU me were plainly audible ttntieT-'tb* shrill tr«ol« M looked about for Luella. She was nowhere to be seen. I left the room a little disappointed, but with a swelling pride that I had passed the dreaded ordeal and had been accepted a s Henry Wilton in the house ip, which I had most feared to meet disaster. My opinion of my own cleverness had risen, in the language of the market, "above par." As I passed down the hall, a tall willowy figure stepped from the shadow of the stair. My heart gave a bound of delight. It was Luella Knapp. I should have the pleasure of a leavetaking in private. "Oh, Mias Knapp!" I said. "I had despaired of having the chance to bid you good night." And held out my hand. She Ignored the hand. I could see from her heaving bosom and shortened breath that she w a s laboring under great agitation. Yet her face gave no evidence of the effort that'It cost her to control herself. "I was waiting for you." she said in a low voice. I started to express my satisfaction when she interrupted me. "Who are you?" broke from her lips almost fiercely. I was completely taken aback, and stared at, her in amazement with no word at command. "You are not Henry Wilton." she said rapidly. "Ynu have- come here with his name and his clothes, and made up to look like him, and you tryto use his voice and take his place. Who are.you?" There was a depth of acorn and anger and apprehension in that low voice of hers that struck me dumb. "Can you not answer"" she demanded, catching her breath with excitement. "You are not Heary Wil-, t o n . " . ..... • . ! • » ; .'.Welir I saM fealf.ta:quiris«ly. II was not safe to advance or retreat "Well—! well—!" IJhe repotted m y answer with indignation and disdain deepening in her voice. "Is that ail you have to say for yourself?" What should I say?" I replied quietly. "You make an assertion. Is there anything more to be said?" "Oh. you may laugh at me if you please, betauav j u u MHU hvudwiitk the others." I protested that laughter was the last thing I wan thinking of at the moment. Then she burst uut impetuously: "Oh, if I were only a m a n ! No; if 1 were a man I should be hoodwinked like the rest. But you can not deceive me. Who are you? What are you here for? What are you trying to do?" She wus blazing with wrath. Her tone had raised hardly au Interval of the scale, but every word that came in that smooth, low voice was heavy with ccntempt and auger. It was the true daughter of the Wolf who stood before me. 'I am afraid, Miss Knapp, you are not well to-night," I aaid soothingly. "What have you done with Henry Wilton?" she asked fiercely. "Don't try to speak with his voice. Drop your disguise. You are no actor. You are -no more like him than—" "Satyr or Hyperion," I quoted bitterly. "Make it strong, please." I had thought myself in a tight place in the row at Borton's, but it was nothing to this encounter. "Oh, where is he? What has happened?" she cried. "Nothing has happened," I said calmly, determined at last to brazen it out. I could not tell her the truth. "My name is Henry Wilton." She looked at me in anger a moment, and then a shadow of dread and despair settled over her face. I was tempted beyond measure to throw myself on her mercy and tell all. The subtle sympathy that she inspired was softening my resolution. Yet, as I looked into her eyes, her face hardened and her wrath blazed forth once more. "Go!" she said. "I hope I may never see you again!" And she turned and ran swiftly up the stair. I thought 1 heard a sob, but whether of anger or sorrow I knew not. And I went out into the night with a heavier load of depression than i had borne since I entered the city. CHAPTER X I I I . A Day of Grace. Resolve, fthame, despair, fought with each other in the tumult in my mind as I passed between the bronze lions and took my way down the street. I was called out of my distractions with a sudden start as though a bucket of cold water had been thrown over me. 1 had proceeded not twenty feet when I saw two dark forms across the street. They had, it struck me, been waiting for my appearance, for one ran to join the other and both hastened toward the corner as though to be ready to meet me. I could not retreat to the house of the Wolf that loomed forbiddingly behind me, There was nothing to do but to go forward and trust to my good fortune, and I shifted my revolver to the side-pocket of my overcoat as I stepped briskly to the corner. Then I stopped under the lamp-post to reconnoiter. The two men who had roused my apprehensions did not offer to cross the street, but slackened their pace and strolled slowly along, on the other side. I noted that it seemed a long way between street-lamps thereabouts. I could see none between the one under which I was standing "and the brow of the hill below. Then it occurred to me that this circumstance might not be due to the caprice of t h e street department of the city government, but to the thoughtfulnes8 of t h e gentlemen who were paying such close attention to my affairs. I decided that there were better ways to get down town than were offered by Pine street. To the south the cross-street stretched to Market with an unbroken array of lights, and as my unwary watchers had disappeared in the darkness, I hastened down the Incline with so little regard for dignity that I found myself running for a Sutter street car —and caught it, too. As I swung on the the platform I looked back; but I saw no sign of skulking figures before the car swept, past the corner and blotted the street from sight. The incident gave me a distaste for the idea of going back to Henry Wilton's room at this time of the night. So at Montgomery street I stepped into the Lick house, where I felt reasonably sure that I might get at least one night's sleep, from from the haunting fear of t h e assassin. But, once more safe, the charms of Luella Knapp again claimed the major part of my thoughts, and when I went to sleep it was with her scornful words ringing in my ears. I slept soundly until the morning sun peeped into the room with t h e cheerful announcement that a new day was born. In the fresh "morning air and the bright morning' light, I felt that I might h,ave fceeh unduly, suspicious and had fled from harmless citiiens; and I was ashamed that I had lacked courage to ratura-^o Henry's room as I made my # a y thither for a change of clothes. | tflaught'better of my decision, however,1 I s I stepped within t h ^ f l o o m y ' w a l l i of the house of myst i c a n d b y fddtfalTs echoed through tfctf&UMng silence of t h e hulls. And I lost all regret over my night's lack of courage when I reached my door. It was swung an inch ajar, and as i approached I thought 1 saw it move. "I'm certain I locked it," was my inward comment. I stopped short and hunted my re volver from my overcoat pocket. I was nervous for a moment, and angry at t h e inattention that might have cost me my life. "Who's there?" I demanded. No reply. I gave a knock on t h e door at long reach. There was no sound and I gave it a push that bent it open while I prudently kept behind the fortification of the casing. As no developments followed this move, I peeped through the door in cautious investigation. The room was quite empty, and I walked in. (TO B E CONTINUED.) L I M I T E D FOOD 8 U P P L Y . There is Not the Great Variety We Generally Imagine. "Certain great food-Htaples have proved themselves within the agelong experience of humanity to possess a larger amount of nutritive value, digestibility, and other good qualities, and a smaller proportion of undesirable properties than any othera. These, through an exceedingly slow and gradual process of the survival of the fittest, have come to form the staples of food in common use by the human race all over the world. It Is really astonishing how comparatively few there are of them, when we come to consider them broadly; the flesh and the milk of three or four domestic animals, the flesh of three or four and the eggs of one species of domesticated birds, three great grains—wheat, rice and maize—and a half-dozen smaller and much less frequent ones, one hundred or so -species of fishes and shell fish, two sugars, a dozen or so starch-containing roots and tubers, only two of which—the potato and the manioc—are of real international importance, twenty or thirty fruits, forty or fifty vegetables make up two-thirds of the food supply of the inhabitants of the world. "Instead of wondering at the variety and profuseness of the human food supply, the biologist is rather inclined to ejaculate with the London footman immortalized by John Leech, who, when told by the cook that there would be mutton chops for dinner and roast beef for supper, exclaimed: 'Nothing but beef, mutton and pork— pork, mutton and beef! Hin my opinion, hit's 'igh time some new hanimal was inwented!' " Woman Lost $230,000. New York.—Mrs. Arthur P. Mason of Larchmont is the womn who lost a tin box containing 196 $1,000 bills and jewelry valued at $40,000, while journeying to New York on the local New York, New Haven and Hartford train from her home. Mrs. Mason made this admission despite the advice of her lawyer, Benjamin F. Norris, who has tried to keep secret the name of his client. Mrs. Mason refused to go into details of the trip. She placed the box on the seat beside her, while the suit case rested at her feet. It is hardly supposed Mrs. Mason forgot the existence of the box when she left the train at the Grand Central station. It la possible however, she was followed from her home by some crook who knew that the box contained a fortune. She Meant a Mantle. Thomas A. Edison was discussing at Atlantic City the various devices for Increasing the brilliance and diminishing the cost of a ga3 jet. "Many of these devices have for base a mantle," he said. "You know what a mantle looks like? Then you'll appreciate a remark I overheard in a hardware dealer's. "A young woman entered the shop and said: " 'Have you got those things for Improving a gas light?" " 'Yes, madam,' said the dealer. "Here is a complete set, fittings, chimney and mantle, all for ' " 'Oh, I don't want the set," said the young woman. 'I've got the metal part and the chimney, but the little white shirt is busted. If3 only one of them I want.' " Tool of Many Uses. During the present army maneuvers the French troops are using for the first time an instrument which for variety of, adaptation probably approaches to a record. It is a kind of concave lance shaft, or gouge, about 8 inches broad at the base and with a handle about 12 inches long. This implement is a shovel, a pointed bar, a trenching pick, a wire xutter, a wood chopper and can be used for bread and meat—London Globe. t^*!rf&*-+-+iB-«r —wi •••• 1 • iw'iii• ••• m .* ej 1 E. 1 yiTp^TT^T^irr^r MAKE CFTY STRONG JAPANESE * C E K TO RENDER PORT A R T H U R I M P R E G N A B L E Defense* Being Reconstructed on a New Plan and the Town la Prac tiual'y Given Over to the Military Authorities. In view of the renewed interest in Port Arthur by the recent condemnation of Gen. Stoessel, it may be interesting to translate from t h e Voice of Moscow portions of t h e article of a Russian correspondent in that great Japanese fortress, who seems to be particularly observant, says t h e New York Sun. He says that Fort Arthur and Dalny have changed very much since the war. Under Russian rule Port Arthur was an international town, full of life, and after the Japanese came into possession of it it promised to be even livelier than ever. The roads were repaired, the quays renewed, the water supply improved, Japanese and Chinese merchants began to establish themselves In the town and businesa houses began to be built. But suddenly something happened. All a t once Port Arthur became * city of the dead. Business men quietly abandoned their shops, builders left their uncompleted buildings, and from that time up to the present no private individual h a s begun any new build ing in Port Arthur. T h e great supplies of provisions and other goods were sent back to Japan or into other parts of Manchuria. But none except the Japanese knew what was t h e word that had gone forth. The whole fortress is being reconstructed on a new and unknown plan. The fortifications are being extended beyond their old limits and the laborers and overseers are selected with the greatest care. The old redoubts are not destroyed, but all useful material in them has been moved to other sites. In the construction of the fortifications great attention has been paid to the selection of the best positions whence a plunging fire can be concentrated on the passage through the hills in front and in order to attain this end constant practice firing is carried on. The landward side is protected by long-range guns mounted in excellent forts. At one point alone there are 120 guns. On the seaward side rows of guns are visible—many of these guns were taken from the Russians. Trial firing is carried on more and more frequently at night with the help of reflectors and to assist the gun ners a whole series of signal stations has been erected on the hills. At the bottom of both harbors and out along the seacoast up to a distance of two miles from the fortress some sort of work is being carried on; perhaps mines are being laid. All the way to Mukden strategic positions are being selected and prepared and strategic roads are being run through the mountains. As for Dalny, it is strongly fortified on the landward side, the entire environs of the village of Loukku having been converted into fortress positions and guns have been mounted there On the seaward side Dalny is more weakly fortified, but on the whole it is very much more strongly defended than when the Russians were in posession ot it. The enormous barracks in Port Arthur and Dalny are full of troops and great stores of grain, fodder, beans, etc.. have been collected. There has lately appeared in Dalny a peculiar four-wheeled cast-iron platform for carrying field guns of the largest caliber. To the fortified polnt,3 of Port Ar thur and Dalny special railway branch lines have been tfcuilt from t h e main railway. Large parties of Japanese officers come frequently from Japan to study the ground, not only at Port Arthur and Dalny, but In Mukden and Liaoyang. Lately many troops have come and have all gone to Mukden. Regular Feud. "Yea," sighed the suburban man who had just moved in, "at the last place I had t h e prettiest row of tulips that ever bloomed, until my neighbor's chickens scratched them up." "And did you kick?" asked his n?w acquaintance. "You bet! I sot. a bis; tomcat to lay for his chickens." "What then?" "Why, the nf*xt. I knew he had bought a ferocious bulldog to lay for my Tom." "H'm! And did that end t h e trouble?" "Oh, no. I borrowed a wolf from an animal trainer to kill the bulldog." "War to the knife, eh? What wan the next chapter in the bitter feud,>" "There was none. I heard that ho was about to purchase a tiger to kill: my wolf and as I couldn't afford t h e price of an elephant to kill his tiger, I thought it best to move."

The murderer wa> u4t apprehended and this* fact addend W the tenors of tb,e stairway. Before JftSbonth "liad passed it was called liauatedj and men whom no one would Jtfcve counted superstitious moved their offices to other building*. Finally the matter began to attraet the attention of the owners. Many of the offices were empty and the rentals were falling off. "It's got to atop," said Brixton & Brixton; and they put in more electric lights and hired watchmen to patrol the stairway. • But, after a week's trial, the watch- Hran threw up his job. Three other watchmen came and went, and at last Moran, the Janitor, was detailed to tHicoe«d , them. , Moran'a resignation 4*m& 'ia- th* succinct statemettt: rjK*xia foe aw." v " Brixton, senior, struck his clenched hand Impatiently on his desk. "Such foolishness, Moran," he said. "Thattmay be, sor." Moran agreed; "but ye'll have to git another man." Later Brixton, senior, sent for him and.put him on the elevator servic?. , It';was getting a little hard to keep elevator boys, and Moran was trustworthy, If he was superstitious. Again a succession of watchmen came, and went. Brixton & Brixtou consulted a de tectlve agency. "It's ruining our busi nesa," they said. "Find out who is playing us such a trick." From the agency came men, two at a. time. It grew to be a most unpopu lar assignment. "Good lord,'' said Giffens, who was on duty the fifth week, "I keep seeing that poor fellow on the stairs with the sun shining in on him. I wonder how he happened to be down so far; his office was on the top floor." They were on the fatal landing. A broad, deep window overlooked the other skyscrapers In the block ami Bhowed row after row of twinkling Jfclfew HgfttftVand above them all, the moon, pale in contrast to. the glitter j#d glow, of the city night. Moflaft had made his last trip for the night. Tbe three men stood looking out. ^Suddenly a waiting cry to a mourn fuf, ihthftr m«aatire reached their ears "Somebody's slngin'," Giffens gasped. The three Irishmen- clung together er. "It's Klllarney." "Who's slngin* it?" Murphy's brava do waa gone. "My God!" Moran said, "there was a little gurryl In Brown's office—Kate O'Neill—on the sixt' floor used to sin« —like that. I heard her one time—" I "Where's she now?" Giffens asked "She wint away last spring," Moran said. Next day Moran found himself Irresistibly drawn toward the haunted landing. It was the noon hour and Giffens and Murphy had gone to lunch Moran didn't want any lunch. The affair of the night before had upset him, and the plaintive tones of Kate O'Neill still rang In his heart. Six steps down from the tenth floor and around a curve was the landing. and .Morau, following the curve, stopped short, staring. With her back to him, a woman <§toad rJotking* out of the window. M e turned at the sound of Moran'a footsteps. "It's me," she said. "I've come back." "Kate O'Neill!" gasped Moran. "Yea. I've been in the hospital. I've been sick." Moran went up to her. "Katie," he said, "was you here las' night?" She looked at him, wide-eyed. "No," she said, "I was in the hospital. I lef* there this mornin'." "My Qod!" said Moran. She shivered. "What's the matter?" she asked sharply. "We heard you slngin'—me and two —other men. You was slngin'' 'Klllarney.' " Her hand waa over her heart, her eyes dark with horror. "What am I going to do?" she cried, "what am I going to do? I dream that I come here, and go up and down. and up and down the stairway—and there is no rest." She paused and went on, white lipped: "Maybe—it isn't a dream— maybe it's true—maybe—I .do come— maybe I do—" *_Ber tttfee AV** *w.»y in a whisper. Jtfftrac stood ipellbouad. <* r . * Twaa likely the wind." he said * * > - • ' • . . • . • » • • » . • • » • Then, auspiciously: "Why did you come?" Wearily she condemned herself. "You know—1 killed him." "You!'' Moran reeled against the wlnduw and caught at the sill, "I used Co come here aud sit," she went on, presently. "I came every day aud ate my lunch, because it was qule*: aud no one ever came up the stair way. But one day he came—" She hesitated, "I was slngin"—" Moran. bent forward, listening eagerly. "He stooped and spoke, and he was nice aud pleasant. And after that he used to come at noon, often, and I liked him, and he would bring things and wo would eat lunch t o g e t h e r - oysters and birds—I think he was rich. No one ever saw us, for uo one ever comes up and down the stairway." "I told him about my old granny, aud how 1 had left her wheu I was a child, and how I had been alone In this country since my brother died, and that no home would ever be to me like the little house in the old country with the lake behind it and the low line of hills in front, and sometimes I would sing, and he would listen and. plan {o take me across the "I ran upstairs with the. knife in my hand and the book and the $100. I don't see why somebody didn't find them. They're tn my desk. I put them those and went on working, and when I sot back to my boarding place that night I raintod, and they sent sue to the hospital— and—and that's all—" She sank down on a step and looked up at the tall young man silhouetted against the background of blazing sunlight. "1 don't know what to do," she said, with quivering lips. Her blue eyes held in them the appeal of helpless womanhood, and of helpless Irish womanhood at that. Moran could not stand it. "Katie," he said, "you dreamed ut." "Oh, no," she whispered. "You did," Moran said; "you've been lick, and you've thought about it, and It's your delerryum that makes you think you did ut—" "But I'm not delirious now—" she said. "Well, you was," Moran insisted. Then he lied smoothly. " 'Twas a mau did ut. He was bandy-legged and cross eyed and he had a grudge—" Her startled eyes questioned him. "But--" she began. "He's confessed," Moran stated obstinately, "a week ago." With her hands in his she was sobbing: "It can't be true!" " Tis true." "Oh, I don't know what to do—" Moran held her hands tightly for a moment, looking down at her with a shadow In his eyes. "You'd best go," Moran said, hoarsely. "Go up and take the elevator on the next floor." When the two detectives reached the landing they found Moran leaning negligently against the window, looking out. "Murphy thinks we ought to look up that O'Neill girl," Giffens said. "Ah, gwan," Moran said, as he set his shoulders squarely. "Ye couldn't hunt a little gurryl wld eyes like blue lakes. Ye're two things before ye're hard-hearted Instruments of the law—" "An' what's that?" asked Giffens. "Ye're men—" "An'?" "Ye're Oirish," finished Moran, succinctly. No Silver Dollar Since 1905. A clerk at the Bingham House who has been blessed with a boy baby during the last year wanted, among other little gifts, to give his young hopeful a silver dollar marked "1907," which could be suspended about his neck on a string and triftti to help cut the little teeth which were beginning to show signs of appearing, says the Phlladelwater some day. An' by that time i p n i a Record. I thought a lot of him, and I'd 'a' gone I ^ e inquired among all his friends anywhere with him—" Her hands were clasped tensely, her little face was working with emotion. "He used to bring me presents and for a ' 190?' silver dollar, and it was not until he had been on a vain search for nearly a week that some one told him to call at, the mint, aud there he put them behind that piece of broken I received official information that under tiling. He dug a hole with his knife in the plaster underneath, and I'd find things there. One day I found a maga zine on the window-sill with a paper-knife across it to hold it down, and between the reaves were $100 In bills, and he was watching me around the curve, and when't opened the book aifd ibuhd the money he Came out laughln', and said it was to get my new things with. 'We're goia' to sail next week,' he saldt 'Just you and me,' and he laughed some more. "But I shook my head and told htm that I couldn't take money from him until after we were married. 'After we are married.' I said, 'you can give me anything.' I thought he looked queer at that, and he was leaning over me very'rJale. and he said: 'Kate, little Kate O'Neill, I can't marry you.' And I said, 'Why not?' and he said: I've got a wife. But I'll do anything for you—I'll make you happy, but I can't marry you.' "I had the paper-knife in my hand, and the next I knew he was lying there on the floor in the suoahine—" In the shuddering silence Moran whispered: "My God!" advices from Washington they had not coined any silver dollars since 1905, and, therefore, there had neyer been nor would be any sliver dollars for last year. For Rifle Target Matches. The navy department is making special efforts to Improve small arms marksmanship in the navy. As an effective way of doing this the department is stimulating Interest in target practice at the Naval academy on the theory that if the midshipmen are induced to take a lively interest in small arms shooting the effect of that interest will be felt later throughout the service. For this reason the navy department has announced this year the most extended schedule of rifle target matches that the midshipmen have yet had. Prizes will also be offered for winners in revolver matches to be held at the Naval academy.- PASSING THESALOON •BSSSBBaBSBBSaaSaSMBCaaBHBSBBBCaB ly REV. A. C.DIXON,O.D., i C U U M A * « . wrv*»Cfciaa*«> Chines* to 8tudy 8aIt T It is stated that Chinese officials arc to be sent to India to see \how the salt trade is handled in that Vountry, with the idea of adopting similar regulations for China. I have studied conditions in the south, where the saloon is being swept away by a cyclone of ballots. The explanation is easy. 1. It is the revolt of knowledge against ignorance. The evil effects of alcohol have been taught in home, s c h o o l , Sunday school and church till the new geu- A BUSY HOUSEHOLD. "You good-for-nothing bpy' you've brftken another pas*, of glass! II I wasn't busy I'd punish you for It! Go t» your father and tell him what y ^ ' v e d»ne!7*,J • • " ' * •"*•" (Five min«tes»elaps#?t eratlon of voters are convinced that it ought to be banished from the earth. "It Is the growth of manhood," aaid a leader in the movement. 2. It is the revolt of home love against the home destroyer. The southern people love their homes and they have determined (hut the destroyer shall be destroyed. Liberty Against Slavery. 3. It is the revolt of liberty lovers against the slavery of their mellows. "A Liberty League" pleads for the perpetuity of the saloon, which makes more slaves than any other institution on earth. Drunkards are slaves of appetite, and 100,000 cf them are killed every year by their cruel master. Liberty to All coffers by selling what enslaves manhood and womanhoed is as un-American as it is un- Chditian, and the people are waking up to the fact. Humanity Against Barbarity. 4. It is the revolt of humanity against barbarity. The aaloon is the mother and fosterer of lunacy, idiocy, pauperism and crime. It is not humane but rather barbarous to legalize and protect the cause of thete great evils. The highest civilization seeks to prevent, so that cure shall not be needed. Church Lovers Against Church Haters. 5. It is tbe revolt of Bible and church lovers against Bible and church haters. The champion blasphemer of Chicago, who evidently hates the Bible and the church, Is also the champion of the saloon. Though he asserts that he does not believe In the historic existence of Jesus, he draws his little argument from his turning water into wine and informs us that Jesus commanded his followers to use intoxicating wine in the Lord's Supper. In this he shows his usual capacity for ignorance. He ought to know that the contents of the sacramental cup are nowhere called wine, but the "fruit of the vine," and alcohol Is not a fruit of the vine, but the rotten fruit of a process of decomposition which takes place after the juice has been removed from the vine. He ought also to know that fermented wine was never used in the Passover feast, for every Jew was required to remove from his house all leaven in solids or liquids. He ought also to know that the unfermented juice of the grape was the beverage of kings as is seen by the fact that the butler pressed the grapes into Pharaoh's cup. (Gen. 40:11.) Business Sagacity Against Illusion. 6. It is the revolt of business sagacity against , the illusion that the saloon helps business. Asheville, # . C, voted the saloon out last October, and' the only business embarrassed. I am informed, is jallkeeplng and chaingang overseeing. Patriotism Against Lawlessness. 7. It is the revolt of patriotism against lawlessness. The plea that ^ ^^prohibition does not prohibit" is proving a boomerang to the liquor traffic, for the people are beginning to See that it really means "we will not obey law." The ruler of this country does not live In the White House or a governor's mansion, or sit. in a w4g and gown on the judge's bench. The sovereign that rules president, governor, judge and. mayor Is LAW, and a conspiracy against the enforcement of law is beginning to he seen in its true light as treason against the life of our American ruler. The 3tate of Georgia, through its representatives In the legislature, drove the saloon out, and the city of Atlanta has not been discussing whether it will obey the law of the state. Atlanta has had enough of secession, and her patriotic citizens believe in state sovereignty over the city. But let us remember that, the ereat mission of Christ and the church is to the individual, and we would lead drunkard, moderate drinker, liquor spller and liquor voter to the "Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world." If all men would get right with God through Jesus Christ the great problems whloh perplex the public mind would soon be settled.

"The Interpreter" In the American Magazine says of a respectful father he once knew: "Isn't It time we took off our hats and thanked this pleasant land for the good things it has done for us by going on patiently covering up our blunders, rectifying our mistakes, and responding cheerfully to our every intelligent effort? "I knew a man out west who bad the right idea about it. His father had made a great fortune in the pork packing business. The heir was not puffed up by hia millions. Long after he had. grown accustomed to the money and might reasonably be expected to look down on butchers, if in walking in the country with his children they saw a drove of hogs on the road, he would make his little boys stand at attention and take-off their hats. 'I want them to respect the sources of wealth,' he said." Too Strong. "The traveler in Ireland will do well," recently remarked an attache to our embassy at London, "when he engages a jaunting car to make sure of the step to which, in mounting, he must trust his weight. The carman does not tnlp him to mount. " 'I am afraid that step is loose,' an American once said to the driver he had engaged. "The man took hold of the step and shook it. 'Ah! sure,' said he, 'It's too sthrong, It is. What are ye afraid of?' "As he was talking, the thing came off In his hand. "This mishap did not, however, embarrass the Irishman, for, with the sunniest of smiles, he turned to his fare saying: " '8hure, now, I've saved yer honor from a broken leg!"—Harper's Weekly.

This sum, tie says, he has accumulated by strict, attention to details, not trying to knqw too much and conBiatqplrly su*yec,ting all women.

It isn't necessary to be a sciena solid granite block bearing on i s t l a t o top a bust of the man who is to lie r a n e x p e r t s e h o l a r t o g e t t f a i b under it. The bust is a faithful likeness, even to the stone whiskers now trimmed in goatee fashion. The sculptor who did the work was an irresponsible person with effeminate ideas. He parted Mr. Wright's whiskers at the middle in his original work. This made Mr. Wright angry, and he paid another sculptor $600 to brush out the stone whiskers straight. This work brought the price up to $3,600, but Mr. Wright didn't care. In the tomb near by Mr. Wright has placed ample supplies of whisky and cigars. "I don't want the boys who ate burying me to feel too bad," he explained. "I want them to have a little something to keep them cheerful. Nobody can say I'm stingy." He has also engaged the Putnam Silver Cornet band to play at his funeral. Mr. Wright's "going, but know not where," has stirred up a lot of trouble, particularly among theologians, some of whom have written him abusive letters. He is still hale and hearty. Often Downed, Seldom Out. There is no other country in the world In which the words "business failure" mean so little as in America. In the older and more cautious nations of Europe, where all business is along more conservative lines, the man who falls is usually "down and out." He ?ither blows out his brains or takes to drink and makes himself a bore to his friends telling about the days of nis prosperity. Europe is full of "•shabby genteel" persons who have seen belter days and who have not the fuintest idea of going to work to make those days come back again. Such a miserable exhibition of cowardice does not appeal to the American. All the American business man asks is good health and a fair field, and he will consider failure a mere incident that gives one valuable experience to be utilized in the failure. The man who is bowled over to-day is up and on his feet and in the center of the struggling throng to-morrow. It Is unfortunately true' that on almost every farm where the1 owner is too busy with other matters to devote much time and attention to them, there are chickens, horses, cows, hogs and sheep constantly showing signs that they need help. Very frequently it happens that when we overlook an apparently common ailment there soon develops a serious trouble which oftentimes results in the death of the chicken or animal. Instances of this kind are of altogether too frequent occurrence and they sometimes result in the spread of the disease to other fowls and animals before It can be checked. Whoever keeps poultry or live stock ought to be thoroughly informed as to the diseases and weaknesses of chickens, horses, cows, sheep and hogs so as to be able to determine at a glance the nature of any trouble that may deknowledge. Happily, it is now possible to obtain free of charge the very best books on these various subjects. We refer to Pratts New Poultry Book, Pratts New Sheep Book, Pratts New Horse Book, Pratts New Hog Book and Pratts New Cattle Book. Any one of these books will be sent free of charge to interested parties by sending a postal to the Pratt Food Co., Department R, Philadelphia, Pa. Everybody knows the Pratt Food Co., and that their preparations are used throughout the world by farmers, dairymen, stock raiBers and poultrymen. Pratts Animal Regulator is the favorite with all owners of horses, cows, sheep and hogs, because it improves the animals' digestion, regulates their bowels and tones up their systems, and gives them new life and spirits. Thousands of users say it Is the greatest preventive of animal disease known. Likewise, Pratts Poultry Regulator ,is the first and last choice of all poultrymen who want strong, healthy, profitable fowls, the kind that lay eggs regularly. We advise our readers to send for these new books mentioned above, without delay. INTERMITTENTLY. Tourist—What are you jumping up like that for, me good man? Howling Dervish—Yeow!

On that account he leaves behind him a famous name. "As Gibayedoff said himself, the last time I visited him in Paris, his fame was due not to his great artistic skill, but to his luck in coming first. "And he added with a laugh that it was always lucky to come early and avoid the rush, instancing the case of a restaurant in the Latin Quarter, where a young poet had a large tureen of soup spilled over his coat one evening. "The waiter, in response to the savage outcries of the poet, said, goodnaturedly: "'Oh,'well, you needn't alarm yourself, sir. There's no harm done. Our soup never stains after half-past seven.' " INSURE YOUR HEALTH ^COMFORT on stormy days by wearing a o ~ ~~ Sores, and Itching Eczema—Doctor Thought an Operation Necessary —Cuticura's Efficacy Proven. "I am now 80 years old, and three years ago I was taken with an attack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding. The doctor said the only help for me was to go to a hospital and be operated on. I tried several remedies for months but did not get much help. During this time sores appeared which changed to a terrible itching eczema. Then I began to use Cuticura Soap. Ointment, and Pills, infecting a quantity of Cuticura Ointment with a Cuticura Suppository Syringe. It. tcok a month of this treatment to get me in a fairly healthy jtate and then I treated myself once i day for three months and, after that, mce or twice a week.

TD the t r e a t immigration problem the main ijueation, concerning requirtsmeniB for udmitsbioii, can never be Btttibfacturily answered, and no one ran tell what ihe effect of Immigration will be UJI our future national life. But on une point all are agreed -thai everything should be done to make the immigrant's passage and reception as comfortable as possible. Years ago Dickens protested against the moral and physical conditions of the steerage. The worst abuses have been corrected by law and In the course of the general improvement of steamship service. The requirements of the new Jaw, which Is to go into effect the first of next January, fixing the amount of deck room and space between decks allowed for each yassenger, have been met In advance iu most of the ocean linerw. Notable improvements also have been made in the care of Immigrants after they land. At Ellis Island, the great immigration station in New York, a new dining room was opened last month, which is clean, light and cheerful. The kitchen is a model institution. There are pleasant sleeping rooms, tiled and painted white; and the newcomer Is introduced to clean lavatories with the amenities of towels and soap, and has a perfect lodging for the night. Humane hospitality does not stop with material comforts, remarks the Youths* Companion. Officials are there to tell the laborer what part of the country most needs his services, to help him find his friends, to see that unprotected women are put in safe hands, to effect communication between the immigrant and the volunteer societies that are waiting to assist him and start him right in the New World. The Italian meets the agent of the bureau which his government maintains in New York. The man of other races finds that Americans from home have formed philanthropic organizations to welcome and guide him. The immigration station is necessarily a sad place; uVuht, anxiety and grief are in the air. But much is being done by an efficient government and a generous people to make the reception room of the nation a hospitable, encouraging place. LATEST NEWS OF m STATE NEWS BRIBES. I N 0 8 T H WOODS TRAGEDY W H I C H SHOWS A MOTHER'S LOVE FOR HER SON. DID SON KILL FATHER? Drunken and Abusive Hukband W«« Shot From Ambufch While Returning Home. A tragedy of the north woods, a mother's attempt to save her son from conviction en the charge of murdering his father, will lm rehearsed, in the circuit court at Atlanta. Charles E. Chadwick, Jr., will be tried on the murder charge and his mother as the accomplice. Chadwick, senior, was shot from am bush in a lonely road near his house, five miles from Atlanta. Circumstantial evidence threw suspicion upon the young sun, who resented the abuse of hiB mother by the drunken father. Footsteps which fitted his shoes were foond near the scene of the crime aud he was arrested. Then the mother came forward with a long written confession In which she declared that she had shot down her husband and that she had put on her son's shoes when she left to commit the crime. Alter writing the letter she attempted to take her own life, but was frustrated by her daughter. Whether the mother really committed the crime or only made the confession to save her son, is a question. Sentiment in the county inclines to the belief that she is merely attempting a heroic mother's sacrifice. The authorities take this view and evidence will be presented in the Httempt to fast?n direct guilt upon the son. Elsie hotels have closed on account of prohibition. —»-.«»• Personal Equation in Success. If you stop for a moment to analyze success in business you will see that it conies through contact with people. It is all hinged upon the manner of your contact. On every side you are surrounded by a multitude of persons, in every one of whom there exists a potential force that may be exerted, at one time or another, to add to your success. The oftener you cause that force to be exerted, says Edward Payson Hatch in the System, the faster your business will grow. You can attract these indiivdual forces, if you choose, and get the most from them. Or you can repel them and Buffer actual damage from having come in contact with them. Or you may take a middle course, as many business men do, and drift along In purely negative manner. Looking at business in this light, it is apparent that the underlying element which contributes most to the success of any undertaking, and to business in the aggregate, is the art of finding the vital points of human contact that will set in motion these forces. The personal element ust be stamped upon your business. THE WILSON CASE After deliberating six hours and after having once sent word to the judge that it would be impossible for them to arrive at a verdict, the jurv which tried William L. Wilson, of Port Huron, for embezzling $125,000 from the United Home Protectors* Fraternity, rendered a verdict of "guilty as charged,'' Tuesday night. All during the afternoon and evening the prisoner Bat in the court room surrounded by all the members of his family, He appeared considerably crestfallen and his relatives did all in their power to cheer him up. At 7:1)() o'clock the jury reported that they could not agree and the judge ordered them brought into court. To his inquiries as to whether there was any point of law or question of evidence that was not clear to them, they replied they thoroughly understood everything, but simply could not agree. The court directed them locked up again. In less than half an hour a verdict was rendered. On the request of Wilson's attorneys the jury was polled. The attorneys then announced that they would move for an arrest of judgment that [in appeal might be made. They will base their appeal for the alleged unconstitutionality of the special act incorporat ing the Home Protectors. MICHIGAN ITEMS. In view of all that there has been dd about the fall in the death rate it ferns strange to realize that we are not living so long as our grandfathers and grandmothers did. More babies live to grow up nowadays than formerly, but people In later life die younger. Once arrived at. adult age the average man or woman has few years of survival to expect. This seems on the face of it so surprising a statement that in order to be accepted it should be backed up by data authentic and indisputable, says Health Culture. Such data are furnished by the figures of the insurance companies (which all agree on the point), but it. VA easier to refer to the government r m s u s reports, which tell (ho tale in simple and convincing .fashion.

ALL RECORDS BROKEN Millions Become Billions In These Days of Great Prosperity and General Extravagance. MICHIGAN BRIEF* The finst session of the sixtieth congress has broken the record for expenditure*. The billion dollar congress of lh»L and lSaa, which, was roundly berated for extravagance, was an economical congress compared to those that have come and gone since the beginning of the twentieth century. Appropriations of the fifty-fourth congress, which ended in 1900, made appropriations of all previous congresses look small. It beat the billion dollar congress a half billion and some millions more. These were largely war expenditures, but all succeeding congresses have done almost as well in scattering public funds. The congress of 1901-02 spent $1,- 470,000,000, that of 1903-04 spent $1,- 533,212,267 and the fifty-eighth congress of 1903-04 earned championship honors by breaking all records with appropriations aggregating $1,601,000,- 000. Its distinction was, however, short lived. The fifty-ninth congresB of 1905-06 made the fifty-eighth and all its predecessors look cheap with appropriations of $1,800,000,000 in round figures. The best that the fifty-ninth congress could do at its first session was $929,000,000. This one goes it more than a hundred millions better. The total appropriations for the first year will be about $1,023,000,000, and the time of the sixtieth congress is only half expired. Assurance Is doubly sure that the necessary appropriations for the succeeding year will make the total of expenditures for the sixtieth congress far and beyond its nearest competitor.

Tottering Old Man Denies That He Married Mae Wood. Senator T. C. Piatt went on the witness stand today to testify In his own behalf in the sensational suit brought against him by Mae C. Wood, the Omaha woman who is suing him for divorce, alleging he married her in 1901. The senator entered the court room leaning heavily on the arms of two attendants. He seemed very feeble and walked with difficulty. He was accompanied by his son, Frank H. Piatt, and a stylishly attired woman. In opening his testimony the senator said he is nearly 75 years old. His first wife died in 1901. He first met Miss Wood in 1901. He was asked if he remembered asking her, in August, 1901, in the Oriental hotel, to become his wife. "I never asked her. It's false,'' he declared. "Did you on Thursday, November 9, ask her to marry you, the ceremony to take place on Saturday, and say you yourself would make all arrangements." "I did not." "Did you promise to marry the plaintiff?" "I did not." The senator said he first learned that Miss Wood claimed to be bis wife from a Chicago newspaper, he thought in 1903, He dented giving her i ,vedding ring and said he never «aw the marriage certificate which figures in the case. In reply to questions by the attorney Miss Wood said: "I was born In 1866 in St. Joseph county, Michigan." "You have been married?" "I have, and divorced." "What was the name of your husband?" "Albert G. Wood." "Who got the divorce?" "It was given by a Jury." "Who got the divorce?" asked Justice O'Gorman. "My husband," was the reply. The witness testified that she had been a school teacher and a reporter nn the Omaha Bee. "You are a lawyer?" "Yes, I was admitted to the bar in Nebraska in 1894." The case was disposed of Thursday, Justice O'Gorman using these words: "The court cannot credit for a moment the contention of the plaintiff. A most wicked design to support a fictitious claim by forgery and perjury has been attempted. I am confident the plaintiff was never married to the defendant and that, she never believed she was married to him. On every issue in the case I find for the defendant, and, being impressed by the plaintiffs guilt, I commit her to the city jail on a charge of forgery and peruirv under $5,000 hail."

It was clear to my eye that this was no ordinary case of robbery. The search, it was evident, was not for money and jewelry alone, and bulkier property had been despised. The men who had torn the place to pieces must, I surmised, have been after papers of some kind. I came at once to the conclusion that I had been favored by a visit from my Mends, the enemy. As they had failed to find me in, they had looked for some written memoranda of the object of their search. I knew well that they had found nothing among the clothing or papers that Henry had left behind. I had searched through these myself, and *he sole document, that could bear on the mystery was at that moment fast in my inside pocket. I was inclined to scout, the idea that Henry Wilton had hidden anything under t h e carpet or in the mattress, or in any secret place The threads of the mystery were carried in his head, and the correspondence, if there had been any, wag destroyed. AH I was engaged in putting the •room to rights the door swung back, and I jumped to my feet to face a man who stood on the threshold. "Hello!" he cried. "House-cleaning again?" It was Dicky Nahl, and he paused with a smile on his face. "Ah, Dicky!" I said with an effort to keep out of my face and voice the suspicions T had gained from the Incidents of the visit to the Borton place. "Entirely unpremeditated. I assure you." "Well, you're making a thorough job of it," he said with a laugh. "Fact, is," said I ruefully, *Tvo been entertaining angels—of the black kind —unawares. I was from home Inst night, and I find that somebody has made himself free with my property while I was away." "Whew!" whistled Dicky. "Guess they were after you." I gave Dicky a sidelong glance in a vain effort to catch more of his meanlag than was conveyed by his words. "Shojilda't be surprised," I replied dryly, picking up an armful of books. " i d expect theiu to be looking for me In the book-shelf or Inside the mattress- cover, or under the carpet." Dlckly laughed joyously. "Well, they did rather turn things upblde down," he chuckled. "Did they get anything?" And he fell to helping me zealously. "Not that 1 can And out," 1 replied. "Nothing of value, anyhow." "Not any paper, or anything of that sort'.'" asked Dieky^ anxiously. "Dicky, my boy," bald 1; "there are two kinds of fools. The other ia the man who writes his business on a sheet of paper and forgets to burn it." Dicky grinned merrily. "Gad, you're getting a turn for epigram! You'll be writing for the Argonaut first we know." "Well, you'll allow me a shade of common sense, won't you?" "1 don't know," said Dicky, considering the proposition doubtfully. "It might have been awkward if you had left anything lying about. But if you had real good sense you'd have had the guards here. What are you paying them for, anyhow?" 1 saw difficulties In the way of explaining to Dicky why 1 had not or deied the guards on duty. "Oh, by the way," said Dicky suddenly, before a suitable reply had come to me; "how about the scads— spondulicks—you know? Yesterday was pay-day, but you didn't show up." 1 don't know whether my jaw dropped or not. My spirits certainly did. "By Jove, Dicky!" I exclaimed, catching my breath. "It slipped my mind, clear. I haven't got at our— ahem—banker, either." I saw now what that mysterious money was for—or a part of It, at all events. What I did not see was how I was to get it, and how to pay it to my men. "That's rough," said Dicky sympathetically. "I'm dead broke." It would appear then that Dicky looked to me for pay, whether or not he felt bound to me in service. "There's one thing I'd like explained before a settlement," said I grimly, as I straightened out the carpet; "and that is the little performance for my benefit the other night." Dicky cocked his head on one side, and gave me an uneasy glance. "Explanation?" he said in affected surprise. "Yes," said I sternly. "It looked like a plant, I was within one of getting a knife in me." "What became of you?" inquired Dicky. "We looked around for you for 9 * * * S = 5 5 5*r •'••"L'f X'*\A 77«- <sraHT TTHrtzTtrrnTs ITAS AsnxassnJt! an hour, and were afraid you had been curried off." "That's all right, Dicky," I said. "I know how I got out. What I want to know is how I got. in—taken in." "I don't know," said Dicky anxiously. "I was regularly fooled, myself. I thought they were fishermen, all right enough, and I never thought that Ter* rill 4$*d the nerve to come in there. 1 was fooled by his disguise, and he gave the word, and I thought sure that Richmond had sent him." Dicky had dropped all banter and was speaking with the tone of sincerity. "Well, it's all right now, but I don't want any more slips of that sort. Who was hurt?" "Trent got a bad cut in the side. One of the Terrlll gang was shot. I heard It was only through the arm or leg, I forgot which." I was consumed with the desire to ask what had become of Borton's, but 1 suspected that. I was supposed to know, and prudently kept the question to myself. "Well, come alone;," said I. "The room will do well enough now. Oh, hero's a ten. and I'll let. you know as :nn;i as 1 get the rest. Where can. I tiiul you''" "AT the oid plane," said Dicky; "throe twenty-six." "Clay°" I asked in desperation. Dicky gave me a wondering look as though h^ suspected my mind was going. "No—Geary. What's the matter with you?" i "Oh, to be sure. Gtairy street, of course. Well, let me know if anything turns up. Keep a close watch on things." Dicky looked at me lu some apparent perplexity as I walked up the stair to my Clay street office, but gave only some laughing answer as he turned back. But I was In rar from a laughing humor myself. The problem of paying the men raised fresh prospects of trouble, aud I "reflected grimly that if the money was not found 1 might be iu more danger from my unpaid mercenaries than from the enemy. Ten o'clock passed, and eleven, with no sign from Doddridge Knapp, aud I wondered if the news I had carried him of the activities of Terrlll and of Decker had disarranged his plans. I tried the door into Room 16. It was locked, and no sound came to my ears from behind it. "I should really like to kngw," I thought to myself, "whether Mr. Doddridge Knapp has left any papers iu his desk that might bear ou the Wilton mystery. 1 tried my keys, but none of them fitted the lock. I gave up the attempt —Indeed, my miud shrank from the idea of going through my employer's papers—but the desire of getting a key that would open the door was planted in my brain. Twelve o'clock came. No Doddridge Knapp had appeared, and I sauntered down to the Exchange to pick up any items of news. It behooved me to be looking out for Doddridge Knapp's movements. If he had got another agent to carry out his schemes, I should have to prepare my lines for attack from another direction. Wallbridge was just coming rapidly out of the Exchange. "No," said the little man, mopping the perspiration from his shining head, "quiet as lambs to-day. Their ov/n mothers wouldn't have known the Board from a Sunday school." I inquired about Omega. "Flat as a pancake," said the little man. "Nothing doing."- "What! Is it down?" I exclaimed with some astonishment. "Lord bless you, no!" said Wallbridge, surprised in his turn. "Strong and steady at eighty, but we didn't sell a hundred shares to-day. Well, I'm in a rush. Good-by, if you don't want to buy or sell." And he hurried off without waiting for a reply. So I was now assured that Doddridge Knapp had not displaced me in the Omega deal. It was a recess to prepare another surprise for the Street, and I had time to attend to a neglected duty. The undertaker's shop that held the morgue looked hardly less gloomy in the afternoon sun than in the light of breaking day in which I had left it when I parted from Detective Coogan. The office was decorated mournfully to accord with the grief of friends who ordered the coffins, or the feelings of the surviving relatives on settling the bills. "I am Henry Wilton," I explained to the man in charge. "There was a body left here by Detective Coogan to my order, I believe." "Oh, yes," he said. "What do you want done with it?" I explained that I wished to arrange to have it deposited in a vault for a time, as I might carry it east. "That's easy done," he said; and he explained the details. "Would you like to see the body?" he concluded. "We embalmed it on the strength of Coogan's order." I shrank from another look at the battered form. The awfulness of the tragedy came upon me with hardly less force than in the moment when I had first, faced the mangled and bleeding body on the slab in the deadroom. The undertaker was talking, but I knew not what he said. I was shaking with the horror and grief of the situation, and in that moment I renewed my vow to have blood for blood and life for life, if law and justice were to be had. "We'll take it out any time," said the undertaker, with a decorous reflection of my gTief upon his face. "Would you like to accompany the remains?" I decided that I would. "Well, there's nothing doing now. We can start as soon as we have sealed the casket." "As soon as you can. There's nothing to wait for." The ride to the cemetery took me through a part of San Francisco that I had not yet seen. But I paid little attention to the streets through which we passed. My mind was on the friend whose name I had taken, whose work I was to do. 1 was back with him in our boyhood days, and lived again for the fleeting minutes the life we had lived in common; and The resolve grew stronger on me that his fate should he avenged. Arriving at the cemetery it was soon over. The body of Henry Wilton was committed to the vault with the single mourner looking on, and we drove rapidly back in the failing light. I had given my Address at the undertaker's shop, and the hack stopped in front of mv house of mystery before I knew *|&are/»£ were. Darkness had come upon t M place, and the streetlamps were alight and the gas was blaxing iu the store-windows along the thoroughfares. As I stepped out of the carriage and gazed about me, 1 recognized the gloomy doorway and its neighborhood that had greeted me on my first night in San Francisco. As I was paying the fare a stout figure stepped up to me. "Ah, Mr. Wilton, it's you again. I turned in surprise. It was the policeman I had met ou my first night in Sau Francisco. "Qh, Corson, how are you?" I saia heartily, recognizing him a t last. 1 felt a sense of relief in the sight of him. The place was not one to quiet my nerves after the errand from which I had just come. "All's well, sor, but I've a bit of paper for ye." And arter some hunting he brought it forth. "1 was asked to hand this to ye." I took it in wonder. Was there something more from Detective Coogan? 1 tore open the envelope and read on its inclosure: "Kuiu touite to the house. Shure if youre life is wurth aaveiu. "Muther Borton." CHAPTER XIV. Mother Borton's Advice. I studied the note carefully, and then turned to Policeman Corson. "When did she give you this—and where?" "A lady?" said Corson with a grin. "Ah, Mr. Wilton, it's too sly she is to give it to me. 'Twas a boy askin' for ye. 'Do you know him?' says he. 'I do that,' says I. 'Where is he?' says he. 'I don't know,' says I. 'Has 'e a room?' says he. 'He has,' says I. 'Where is it?' says he. 'What's that to you?' says I—" "Yes, yes," I Interrupted. "But where did he get the note?" "I was just tellin' ye, sor," said the policeman amiably. "He shoves the note at me ag'in, an' says he, 'It's important,' says he. 'Go up there,' says I. 'Last room, top floor, right-hand side.' Before I comes to the corner up here, he's after me ag'in. 'He's gone,' says he. 'Like enough,' says I. When'll he be back?' says he. 'When the cows come home, sonny,' says I. 'Then there'll be the divil to pay,' says he. I pricks up my ears at this. 'Why?' says I. Oh, he'll be killed,' says he, 'and I'll git the derndest lickin',' says he. 'What's up?' says I, makin' a grab for him. But he ducks an' blubbers. 'Gimme that letter,' says I, 'and you just kite back to the folks that sent you, and tell them what's the matter. I'll give your note to your man if he comes while I'm on the beat/ says I. I knows too much to try to git anything more out of him. I says to meself that Mr. Wilton ain't in the safest place in the world, and this kid's folks maybe means him well, and might know some other place to look for him. The kid jaws a bit, an' then does as I tells him, aa' cuts away. That's half an hour ago, an' here you are, an' here's your letter." I hesitated for a little before saying anything. It was with quick suspicion that I wondered why Mother Borton had secured again that gloomy and deserted house for the interview she was planning. "That was very kind of you. You didn't know what was in the letter then?" "No, sor," replied Corson with a touch of wounded pride. "It's not me as would open another man's letter unless in the way of me duty." "Do you know Mother Borton?" I continued. "Know her? know h e r ? " returned Corson in a tone scornful of doubt on such a point. "Do I know the slickest crook in San Francisco? Ah, it's many a story I could tell you, Mr. Wilton, of the way that ould she-divil has slipped through our fingers when we thought our hands were on her throat. And it's many of her brood we hfcv« put safe in San Quentin." (TO BE CONTINUED.) JUST ABOUT CLOCKS MRS. B I L L T O P 8 G I V E 8 HER HUBBY A LESSON. Invitation to Franklin. Several amusing incidents in the life of Benjamin Franklin have been handed down to us, many of which exhibit his rare wit and some few indicate the humor of his contemporaries. During the course of an extended journey Franklin was obliged to wait. an unusually long time for his stage. The day was very warm and sultry and not a little dusty, but all this did not ruffle the philosophical temper. The stage at last arrived, and as the door opened Franklin was much pleased to see an old friend, whom he cordially greeted, expressing his satisfaction at having secured a traveling companion. His friend, however, whose irritation was not decreased by ! the closely crowded stage and the ' intolerable weather, together with • Franklin's hesitation un noting the alj ready overburdened roach, perhaps i unconsciously exclaimed: I 'Come Re:v.iam-;n.

English is compulsory in all Japanese schools. "My guodueaa!" said Mr. Billtops, "I cau'i wiud the clock!" "What's the trouble, Ezra?" eaid Mrs. B. "Why, the pointer Is right over tha keyhole," Mr. Billtops said. Mrs. Billtops looked up at Mr. B. aud the clock he had set out to wind. and a glance was sufficient. "Or course It ia," she said. "If* eight o'clock and the pointer is always over the keyhole at eight o'clock. Now, you will have to wait till the pointer gets past, then you cau wind it." Aud then Mr. Billtops, who, with all his years, is iu many ways most unsophisticated, sat down to read t h e paper to wait for the hour hand of the clock to get past the eight o'clock keyhole so that he could wind it. But before beginning to read he laid the paper on his knee for a moment and, looking over at Mrs. B., said: "Why, I never knew that beforeabout the [jointer and the keyhole." "Well, Kara," said Mrs. Billtops, who in the course of her multifarious household duties has set balky clocks going aud oiled clocks with a broom splint, who knows more about clocks than Mr. Billtops would in a thousand years and who could beat him a t mending anything seven times around the globe, "it's always been so, only I guess you never happened to notice it. And it's Just the same at four o'clock, only you never noticed that, because you are not home to wind the clocks at that hour; and you generally wind them before eight, so you never noticed that. "I don't pretend to be a clockmaker, Ezra," Mrs. Hlllt ,ps continued, "but I guess it comet* about something like this: "In a clock that wind3 with a key you have to have two keyholes, one for the running part and one for the striking part; and now these keyholes might have been put in the upper part of the clock face—by the two on one side and the ten on the other—but I guess the original clock makers didn't put them there because the old-time clocks were all big clocks, and that might, have brought them up too high to be reached conveniently; so they put them down in the lower part of the face where they would be handier, where you now always find them—one on one side by the four and the other on the other side by the eight. "And so, twice a day. when the hour hand is at four or at eight, it covers the keyhole there, and then you have to wait for it to get by before you can wind the clock. And then, of course, you know the minute hand goes round the clock face every hour, and so, though in its travels it doesn't stay there long, it rovers each keyhole every hour. So you see, Ezra, there are really altogether a good many times in the course of a day when you can't wind a clock, though there is really nothing in this to be surprised over when you once realize it." And at the end of this little discourse Mr. Billtops looked up at the clock that had surprised him, and seeing the hour hand now sufficiently clear of the keyhole so that he could get the key into it, he wound the clock to make sure that he would not. forget, that, and then, as he sat down again, he cast one more admiTing glance at Mrs. Billtops. thinking to himself as he did so, before taking up his paper, that while she might not be a clockmaker she certainly was a most wonderful woman. Artificial Pearls. The latest methods of making artificial pearls have turned out to be so successful that those who deal In genuine ones confess they have some dif Acuity at times to decide upon the false from the real. This fact has increased the sale of artificial pearls in France, and injured in consequence the sale of real pearls, and made it. extremely difficult now for anyone having even the costliest pearls, if they desire to sell, to get anywhere near what, they were sure of getting some few months ago. It. remains to be seen how these manufactured pearls will stand time and wear, and whether or not they will lo3e their sheen and color. A real pearl is kept in its beauty by being in contact with the warmth of *he wearer's body. That is one of the reasons why pearls are worn so constantly by their owners, arid it was rhe excuse at first for wearing them In »he d;.r.-time.—Vogue. The Kind.

He Was Not a Dumpling. Some years ago the lord chancellor of England was cross examining a ness men do not have typewriters. shrewd bucolic witness. "Tbey sometimes call you a Devonshire dumpling, don't they?" asked the genial advocate. "I believe they do," replied the witness. ''Rut you are not a Devonshire dumpling?" The witness waited till the laughter occasioned by tills Inquiry subsided, then he slowly drawled out: "Iley, but if I hod been a doompllng you lawyers 'ud 'a' gobbled I up afore now!" Animals Are Not Proud. i lYofessor Schuster asserts that anl- ; mals lack moral feeling entirely, none ; of their acts being immoral or moral In : the broad sense, anil that they have no | trace of a sense of shame or of honor. I Their courage, he declares, is "a mere , impulse of nature," and of moral courage they know nothing. lie continues: I "And animals have no pride in the I sense of man's eoneeptlon of that quality. They are not proud of their kind, of their kindred, of their individuality. They neither have an individuality nor are individual. Animals are not prond because they have no consciousness of the scope of the value of their kind, of their enterprise or of nny other form of their capability. They are neither supercilious, proud nnr the contmry— that Is, grieved, wounded or depressed in regard to n possible pride." M. £. Church Notes. The services were well atttonded Sunday morning and the pastor delivered an excellent address to the old soldiers, twelve of them being present. There were thirteen last year but one, -Jerome Drown, has been "mustered out,*' The old soldiers are fast passing from the ranks and less and less of them attend these memorial services from year to year, but the memory of any true American citizen will never grOW le.SS. The attendance at Sunday school was good but. might have been better. There were 94 present with a collection of $161. Committees were appointed to make arrangements for Childrens day and a trood program will be prepared. Now do not forget that there is a prayer meeting this evening and that YOU are needed there. The members of the church were clad to see H. G. Hriggs hack to thfl -ervice and class meeting, after his long illness. BvbKrtb* tor tto FlMkntjr Dlspatok.

O- 0-4DFt%J2£>^f> DURING the latter part of the war, in 1864, and until its close, in 1865, I was connected with the armies under Gen. Sherman, usually designated the Army t the Tennessee, the Army of the Cumberland and tho Army of the Ohio, wrote Maj.- Gen. O. O. Howard. The campaigns were exceedingly active. From Chattanooga to Atlanta Sherman's soldiers were under fire every day, except the three just before crossing the Ktowah, for 113 days. There was net a day or night In which there were no soldiers slain. The screeching shells burst over our heads while we were sleeping, but, wonderful to tell, the soldiers had become HO used to this conflict that they lost very little sleep in consequence of the fitful and random firing at night. In that period nf 113 days there were 1!) sizable battles fought. In one attack I made at Pickett's Mill I lost. 80() killed and three times as many wounded within the space of 15 minutes. At night I sat among tho wounded and realized something of the horrors of war. It seems to me today as I think of it like a terrible nightmare, hut it was a more terrible reality, which I will not attempt to describe. Without further detail, imagine the joy that came over the armies of Sherman as they gathered about Raleigh, N. C, in 1866, and were told that Lee had surrendered and that Grant had sent Lee's soldiers home to begin life anew; that Johnston had surrendered on the same terms as Lee and all that belonged to Sloeum's, Schofield's and Howard's armies were to march on the morrow toward Washington, the capital of tho nation, soon to be mustered out of service and then to go home. I remember the sudden depression at the news of Lincoln's death; but still this going home produced too groat a joy to keep ever this catastrophe of their heavy loss very long before their minds. They marched habitually at 20 miles a day from Raleigh to Richmond, and never | seemed weary at, the close of any i day's march—the camp fire was bright, tho old songs wore sung over and over ! again and the comradeship knitted ; during tho war would never cease—it was at. its best when the word "peace" filled all the air I know that wo wefe proud when wo marched past tho president, of the United States in our last, great, review; but, as I remember it, it was a tearful pride even then. A regiment had gone out. 1,000 strong; it had been recruited and re-recruited; it. had been veteranized and added to in other ways; and now it, was-bringing-homo less than P,00 of all the men who had , gone out from that section of the country from which It. had come. The • joy of going home for the 300 was great, but it was a tearful Joy the in- j stant one thought of the 800 or more who could uot go home, who never did go home, who were buried somewhere in the broad land over which the 300 had -marched, and too often with a headptece marked "Unknown." After the war I stood In the large cemetery near Murfreeaboro, Tenn., with Gen. R. B. Hayes (afterward president) and Mrs. Hayes. I remember how Mrs. Hayes, who was an exceedingly handsome woman, looked up into the faces of the general and myself as her large, dark, speaking eyes were flooded with tears, when she said; "Just look there, that plot of ground is covered with headstones marked 'Unknown.' Unknown, unknown," she repeated, "and yet he gave his life that his country might live!" It was a touching picture, but eVery time I think of it I say to myself: "Really, that 'unknown' soldier, apparently unknown, recorded unknown, was not really unknown. Somebody knew him. His comrades knew him. A mother, a sister, a wife and children, if he had them, knew him. There Is a better record somewhere than that In the soldiers' cemetery." Our faith Is so strong that we all believe in the resurrection and in the future life and have a great satisfaction In feeling that no sacrifices and particularly not that of life itself for duty, for what one stneerely believes to be duty, has ever been or ever will be made In vain. The saddest pictures of all, to my mind, are those connected with a losing battle like that, of Fredericksburg, and still more that of Chancellorsville, At. Fredericksburg the army of Burnside went straight forward to its own destruction. The lines of Lee, half encircling Hurnside's points of attack, wore complete. It was like a trap into which an animal deliberately puts his feet. We sprang the trap, and it is a wonder that. Lee had not dealt with fhirnside's army as the sturdy Thomas dealt with Hood's at Nasville. Gen. Couch was standing by my side in the steeple of a church, near the close of that, battle, where we together were taking a fresh reconnolesance, when I noticed that, his voice trembled as he spoke to me. He said: "Oh, Gen. Howard, look there! Look there! See the ground covered with the boys in blue, and all to no purpose." After we had returned, all of us who could return, to the other shore of the Rappahannock, the depression of the soldiers was greater thfln a t any other time during the war. We could hardly speak to each other. Now, after years, we can recognize the fact that our grief was balanced by the Joy of the confederates over a great victory, and yet not a decisive one, gained by them. At. a moderate calculation there were sent into eternity more than a million of men, who left home in the prime of health and in strength; more than a million of souls by the terrible conflict. For one, I am glad, Indeed, that there is an effort, on foot to set« tie difficulties without bloodshed. Of course, the waste of human life ia not all of it. There is in every war a waste of possession, a destruction of proper* ty and a degradation of character hard to avoid at th° best. T know that there are yome things worse than death. 1 know that th« union of our states wag worth all that it. cost, and I know t h a t humanly speaking, It was .necessary that we should be purged aa by fire; but. Is It not. wise now to do all that we can to hold up to the world the blessings of a great, peace; even the peace that, passeth understanding, which never must, exclude any of the noblest, qualities of a womanly woman or a manly man? A soul full of memorial greetings to all our sorrowing comrades of the cf.vil war. IN MCMORIAM.

Want to War > • WHEN the territory about Waterloo, in New York state, was sparsely settled the principal industry was the hewing of timber from the forest along the Seneca canal. At a point known as Log Landing, midway between Geneva and Waterloo, the woodchoppers were wont to gather and tell their stories of early Indian fights, and here young Hyman Johnson, a farmer boy, first learned of the Impending disaster to the union if the southern states were allowed to withdraw from their early affiliation. One day in 1861 Johnson, who was then 21 years old, was mowing a lot >n the farm. A neighbor drove up bearing the tidings that the call to irms had been sounded. Without heslation the youth walked to the house ind placed his scythe in the crotch of \ young Halm of Gllead tree. His mother asked him what the matter was, and he said: "Mother, Lincoln needs men. I am ;oing to war." ' W h a t , Hyman? You, my son, going to enlist?" "Yes, but do not, fear any harm will wme to me. The war will be over in i month. The southerners cannot face he troops from the north for more than that time. When I return I will mow the rest of the lot. Leave my scythe in tbe tree until I return." His regiment marched to the front :o the stirring martial music, and was Dften in the fighting line. The mother, true to the words of her boy, left the scythe as it. had been placed. Johnson came home a year later on a furlough, and laughed at the almost forgotten incident of the implement and its position. He inspired hope in the hearts of those who thought of nothing else than his safe return by saying: "I Will yet be back to mow that lot." Soon after returning he was captured in a skirmish and became a prisoner in a southern pen, from which escape was impossible. Disease laid hold upon him and he died surrounded by enemies. He was buried in an unknown grave with hundreds of his comrades. Meanwhile the tree grew apace and the blade became partially imbedded in the trunk of the tree. The handle rotted away, but the ateel remained fixed in the wood. A general proclamation was issuer1 from the White House declaring one day should be set apart as a time foi memory of those who had faller while defending their country. It, was the first Memorial day. Word of thf proclamation was carried to Mrs. John son, but ahe had no grave to decorate She fain would straw a few flowen upon the spot wherein her boy lay, butts location must ever remain a mys tery. Kneeling in the garden, Hhi offered a short prayor. Then sh< plucked a few lilies from the plot, ah* tended dally, and, making a wreath she bore it to the tree which gavr such a grim reminder of her saortnn ;o her country. With a enress shr reached up and hung the wreath upon the scjthe point. Memorial day has long become ar, established anniversary. Many years have passed since Mrs. Johnson wa? laid to rest in the village cemetery The old home is exactly as it. stood in the day nf the civil war, but ia occu. pied by another family. "Six months alter birth my little girl broke out with eczema and, J bad two doctors in attendance. There was not a particle of skin left on her body, the blood oozed out Just anywhere, and we had to wrap her iu silk and carry her on a pillow for ten weeks. She was the most terrible sight I ever saw, and for six months I looked for her to die. I used every known remedy to alleviate her suffering, for It was terrible to witness. Dr. C gave her up. Dr. B recommended the Cutieura Remedies. She wHl soon be three years old and has never had a sign of the dread trouble since. We used about eight cakes of Cutieura Soap and three boxes of Cutieura Ointment. James J. Smith, Durmid, Va., Oct. 14 and 22, 1906." Conquer by Cheerfulness. It Is our duty to preserve cheerfulness.

"Almost six or seven weeks ago I became paralyzed all at once with rheumatism," writes Mrs. Louis Mc- Key, 913 Seventh street, Oakland, Cal. "It Btruck me in the back and extended from the hip of my right leg down to my foot. The attack was so severe that I could not move in bed and was afraid that I should be a cripple for life. "About 12 years ago I received a sample bottle of your Liniment but never had occasion to use it, as I have always been well, but something told me that Sloan's Liniment would help me, so I tried it. After the second application I could get up out of bed, and in three days could walk, and now feel well and entirely free from pain. "My friends were very much surprised at my rapid recovery and I was only too glad to tell them that Sloan's Liniment was the only medicine I used."

UOe*eVi The best Greek a n d R o m a n writers, such aa Xenophon, Plato, SocrateH, Tacitua, Catu and Tertul- Uan, denounced t h e theater of their time a* antagonistic to good morals. A t h e n H suppressed t h e theater by law. Solon denounced the actor's profession as "tending, by its simulation of evil character and by its expression of sentiment not genuine or sincere, to corrupt the integrity of human dealings." In Rome "gross exhibitions and licentious buffoonery became the common rule of the play." "The Jtoman theater," says Dr. Schaff, "became more and more the nursery of vice and deserved to be abhorred by all men of decent feeling and refinement." Of England Macaulay writes: "From the time that the theaters were opened they became the seminaries of vice." And Sir Walter Scott says of the theater of biff day: "It was abandoned to the vicious. The best portions of the house were set apart for the abandoned characters." The Modern Theater. Is the modern theater any better? Let us hear the testimony of those who know. "None of my children," said Macready, the actor, "shall ever with my consent, on any pretence, enter a theater or have any visiting connection with actors or actresses.' Dumas, the play-writer, wrote to a friend: "You do not take your daughter to see my play. You are right. Let me say, once for all, you must not take your daughter to the theater. It is not mainly the work that is immoral; it is the place." Mr. Sothern, in a newspaper article over his own name, says: "I have known some of our best performers who have found it necessary to first attend a play before they would allow their wives and daughters to go. Why was this necessary? Why, because they knew that there was very little cleanness in those places, and who better than they should know?" John Gilbert, the veteran actor, wrote in the North American Review: "1 believe the present condition of the drama, both from a moral and artistic point of view, to be a subject of regret." An actor, in passing a theater, said to a friend of Dr. Cuyler: "liehind those doors lies Sodom." Edwin Forrest, hearing Dr. Brantley denounce the theater as an immoral institution, lingered long enough to assure the preacher that he agreed with what he said, only he would make it stronger. Purity on Stage Impossible. Mr. WilMam Winter, a dramatic critic, asserts that Christian ethics on the stage would be inappropriate. Mr. A. M. Palmer, the Nestor of the theater managers ,says in a "Review" article: "The chief themes of the theater are now, as they ever have-been, the passions of men, ambition and Jealousy, leading to murder; lust, leading to adultery and death; anger, leading to madness." Mr. Clement Scott, a distinguished theatrical critic of the London press, was asked to give hi a views as to the effect of t h e stage upon a pure-minded girl who might enter the profession to make a livelihood and to pursue the dramatic art. And here are his words: "Stage life, according to my exerience, has a tendency to disowitar the finer feelings, to crush the inner nature & rinen and women out and to Birtjsittute artificiality and hollowness tbr sincerity'"'. and truth, and, mind you, I speak from an intimate experience of the stage extending o*«r 37 years. It is nearly Impossible for a woman to remain pure who adopts the stage as a profession. Everything IS against her, and, what is more to be deplored, a woman who endeavors to keep her purity is almost of necessity doomed to failure in her career. It is an awful thing to say, and it is still more terrible that it is true, but none who know the life of the greenroom will deny it." The Passion Play. The modern stage had its b:rth a t a time during the dark ages when men were playing at religion in their daily Jives, and they would not, of course refuse to play at if for the entertainment of an audience. Lecky is right when he aays that the "Mystery Plays" led to the degeneration of religion, and it is equally true that the degeneration of religion led to the "Mystery Plays." Playing at marriage and divorce on the stage weakens, if it does not destroy, the sanctity of marriage And keeps the divorce courts busy. Playing at vice cannot fail, sooner or later, to make an actor vicious.

There recently entered the offices of the civil service commission at Washington a dashing young darky of perhaps 20 years of age, who annotfticed to the official who received him that he desired to "get papers for an examination." "From what state are you?" was the question put. The negro drew himself up proudly. "I am from the first state of the union, sir," he replied. "New York?" "No, sir; Alabama." "But," protested the official, with a smile, "Alabama is not the first state in the union." "Alphabetically speaking, sir; alphabetically speaking," said the negro. Preparation for Knowledge.

I do not hesitate to say that in my judgment a large percentage of disease is caused by poorly selected and improperly prepared food. My personal experience with the fully-cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to speak freely of its merits. "From overwork, I suffered several years with malnutrition, palpitation of the heart and loss of sleep. Last summer I was led to experiment, personally with the new food, which I used in conjunction with good rich cow's milk. In a short time after I commenced its use, the disagreeable symptoms disappeared, my heart's action became steady and normal, the functions of the stomach were properly carried out and I again slept as soundly and as well as in my youth. "T look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect food, and no out' can painsay but. that, it has a most pvomincnt place in M rational, scientific system of feeding.

HNOKKEY,- - MICHIGAN 30B*3I^^^^P Italian* on Emigration. Emigration and lib iesllta is a li\o topic of converaanon among all classes of Boclety hi Italy. I have witnessed many a hot di»cuBHlon In the town secretary'H office when 1 waa gleanlug istatibtlca. Several men always followed the stranger into the office and wtood., hy, interested Hoteliers, until appealed to foi their opinions. 1 was euruiised to discover how well postad nine out of every ten are, with definite, well thought-out convictions, fa vorable or unfavorable to the movement according to their social position. A southern landlord in the province of Molise told me, with bristling mustache and keen flashing eyes, writes Antonio S^ngano in. Charities and the Commons, that every year he is finding it more difficult to secure laborers to raise his wheat, and be is compelled to pay such as are available three times as much as he ever did before. I turned to Pletro, a brawny workman, who stood listening and smiling to himself, with his hands in his pockets. "Well, and what do you think of this emigration to America?" I asked. He straightened involuntarily, the hands came out of his pockets to assist his rapid gesticulatory Italian. "Ah! signor, emigration is one great blessing to our country. What would all of these people do here, except to live more wretchedly, if that were possible, while the latifondisti (landowners) are fattening upon their lifeblood! The fact is, if it hadn't been for emigration, we must have ended by eating one another up. Once there was no money in thia town. Now we all have a little and we poor contadini don't have to go to the padrone and. beg a loan and pay him 50 per cent, on it. No! No! No one can doubt that emigration is a great blessing." Forest Destruction. When t.he cutting up of the public domain began a century ago the lands so cut, as well as large parts of the original states, contained the most abundant forests then standing in the temperate zone. To illustrate what their destruction has been, and how needless, it is only necessary to consider the pine forests about the Great Lakes. There were in that region 60 years ago, says J. L. Mathews, in the Atlantic, upward of 350,000,000,000 board feet of white pine lumber, standing In almost continuous forests over northern Michigan, northern Wisconsin, and a good half of Minnesota. The cutting of this timber began in a small way, a few million feet a year. Gradually this increased until it reached two, three and even four billion, and then swept upward with a rush to aggregate nearly 8,000,000,000 in a year. Then as the forests gave cut it dropped, until to-day it is loss than 3,000,000,000 feet a year, at which rate the end is fast approaching. C H A R L E S G R A V t » B R A V E L Y W E T D E A T H FROM A T E R R I B L E WOUND. WAS ACCIDENTALLY SHOT Matters of Note and Comment From Various Parts of the U t e Briefly Told. Charles Graves, aged 30, a wellknown jeweler of Had Axe, accidentally shot himself on the farm owned by himself and his father, four miles east of Clio Tuesday afternoon and, died early Thursday morning. Mr. Graves and his father, M. Graves, of Vassar, were spending a week's vacation on their farm. They were preparing supper when they espied a woodchuck. near the house and seizing a shotgun, tried to get a shot at the animal. They failed and the younger Mr. Graves was seated on the fence while his father stood on the ground holding the loaded gun. The son removed his eyeglasses and started to wipe them off. As he did so, his foot slipped and struck the trigger of the pun, which was discharged. The whole charge of shut struck the young man in the abdomen, tearing a gaping wound. His father hurried to town and summoned medical assistance, but Graves was beyond help. He was conscious almost to the end and displayed remarkable courage. He discussed his approaching death with the utmost calmness, made arrangements for the disposition of all his business affairs, and left a message fur his wife. Then he asked for a cigar and when it was given him, smoked it with apparent relish. Half an hour after he had thrown away the stub he was dead. Mr. Graves was 30 years old and was well known in business and fraternity circles in Bad Axe. He had been married but two years and is survived by a widow and 11-months'- old child. 8TATB HEWS BRIEFS. - 1 Electric Freaks and Victims.

Slack work and inefficient industry rome in more cases from chronic disease than most realize. Incipient consumption keeps many from full work. There are in this city at least 10,000 adults doing part work because of tuberculosis. Taking the various chronic and preventable diseases and there are some 50,000 adults in a city of the size of Philadelphia whose work is poor from lack of health. This is profitable neither to employed, employer nor the community, says the Philadelphia Press. When the sleeping sick ness has left. Africa, malarial fever wiped out by destroying raosquitooF in the tropics, sprue and other intestinal maladies in east tropical Asia, the hookworm in the south and elsewhere and consumption over all zones, temperate and torrid, the industrial effi ciency of man will be increased over the world on a scale which will ad vance both comfort and wages, the standard of life and the return of capital.

The large farm bams cf E. A. Cowan, of Orleans, were burned and several others lost stock and buildings around the county during the electrical shower. Beet Sugar Imoorts. The experiment of the West Bay City Sufiiar Co. in importing raw sugar from Germany and refining it here is being watched with interest. The first shipment of 10,000 sacks, or 1.000 tons, which arrived recently via the steel freighter Haddington, which received the carso at Montreal, contained nine different grades of raw sugar. The sugar was purchased by the London association at an approximate cost of two cents per pound, or $40,000 for the shipment. The cost, of the snirar when piaced in the factorv plus the cost of refining will, it is believed by the officers of the rompanv, leave them a profit of about half a cent a pound, or $10 a ton. Should the importation of raw sugar prove as profitable as expected the company will enter the business eight months in the year, running on beets the other four. The other local suear companies w ill follow suit, which means that a line nf steamers direct from toirope to Bay Cir.v is a possibility, the vessels on the return trip taking lumber and other manufactured goods from Bay City and Saginaw and the products of manufacturing plants nil o v e r t h e lak<\s.

The Filibuster Tactics Worts Useless, the Wisconsin Senator Being Out generated. Senator Robert M La Follette, whe begun at noon Friday his two-man till buster against the compromise cur rency bill, which had passed the huiust ami had a majority of the senate wait ing to vote on it, still was talking against the bill when the sun crept up behind Capitol hill Saturday morning. He had broken all records iu talking, having kept it up nearly nineteen hours When he finally quit, saying he was "reluctant to yield the floor, but real ized that other senators desired tc speak, his one recruit. Senator "Gum shoe Bill" Stone, of Missouri, arose, so did Senator Aldrich, and he was recognized first. Aldrich moved that when a vote should be taken on th*; pending ques tion, the adoption of the conference re port, the ayes and noes be called. Thi:i motion was carried and Aldrich yielded to Stone, who began his remarks, which he had told some of his col leagues might be continued for 1C hours or so. Obviously he was puzzled by Aldrich's motion and asked what had been gained by it. He did not learn.

The end came suddenly at half-past 4 Saturday afternoon, when Senator Gere tat down and Senator Aldricl moved that the pending report be adopted. The roll call was on.

Port Arthur is being made virtually impregnable, while the fortifications at Dalny are being ruished to completion. Druce believes that a clash with the powers over the discriminatory police now being carried out in favor of Japanese ia the Orient is inevitable. H e added: "The issue Is a live one in the Orient today, and unless 1 am misinformed there will be developments ere long. Every European trader or commercial traveler I met had the name story to relate of the methods adopted by the Japanese to keep European gooda out of Manchuria. "Japan, although poor, is an aggressive nation, and will not surrender her advantages wou by a successful war, even against a united front, unless she gets some compensation. Japan is in Manchuria to stay. The coming of the American fleet has not been overlooked by her statesemen, who believe in preparing for any contingency. "Port Arthur is a second Gibraltar. During my visit there I saw evidences of great military activity. New batteries were being built everywhere. If Port Arthur was strong during the Russian occupation it will soon be doubly strong." Extreme and unseasonable heat dur ing the past few days have had an un favorable effect on former Presidenl Cleveland, who is confined to his bee at Lakewood, X. .1. Several sinking spells have been experienced withir the past few days, and if the excessive humidity continues it is feared its ef fects will result fatally. Cleveland's condition has been sen ens tor the past two months and whib the true nature of his ailment ha* been kept from the public, it is knowi beyond all doubt that the former pres idem is suffering from cancer of thf stomach, which ailment is aggravat cd by heat and makes his recovery almost impossible. It had been hoped that Cleveland would rally sufficiently to allow his removal to Tamworth! N. H., whert he might escape the heat of this sec tion of the country and prolong hislife. Report has if that Mr. Cleveland suf fered a third sinking spell Wednesday evening and was with difficulty re vived. Another report which is given credence, is that Cleveland's condition is critical, and that his family ha* been notified that the end may be ex pected at any moment. Thousands Perished. The steamahip Shinno of the Japanese line which arrived at Victoria, B. C„ Wednesday brought news of another disaster through a typhoon at Hankow, China, following the disastrous freshet which Involved the less of more than 1,000 lives. The typhoon came suddenly and in a few hours reduced hundreds of boats in the Kan river to splinters. Steamers broke away from their moorings and only those which could get up steam quickly escaped. THE MARKETS. Launched the Michigan. The first-class battleship Michigan Was launched Tuesday morning from the yard of the New York Shipbuilding- Co., on the Delaware river at Cam den, N. J. She comes closer to the Dreadnaught class of warships in the English navy than any other big fighting vessel in the American navy. The new vessel is known as an "all big gun" battleship, as it will carry eight 12-inch breechloading rifles. ^ The Michigan Is a sister ship to the South Carolina, now under construction at Cramps' shipyard, on the Philadelphia side of the Delaware. The Michigan is more than . 50 per cent completed and will be turned over to the government in about a year. The launch of the Michigan was entirely successful and was witnessed hy a number of invited guests, including Assistant Secretary of the Navy Newberry, Secretary Garfield. Gov. Warner, of Michigan; V. S. Senators Burrows and Smith, of Michigan, and other prominent persons of Washington and the Wolverine state. The sponsor was Miss Carol Barnes New herry, of Detroit, daughter of Assistant Secretary Newberry. North Carolina Went Dry. North Carolina went ' d r y " by M,- 000 majority in Thursday's election.

SYNOPSIS. Giles Dudley arrived in Bun Francisco to join hla friend and distant relative Hrnry Wilton, whom lie was to asHist in an important aud mysterious task, arid who accompanied Dudley on t h e ferry boat trip Into the city. The remarkable resemblance of the two men is noted and commented on by passengers on the ferry. They see a man with snake eyes, which sends a thrill through Dudley. Wilton postpones an explanation of the strange errand Dudley is to perform, bwt occurrences cause him to know it is one of no ordinary meaning- Wilton leaves Giles in their room, with instruction to await his return. Hardly has he jjone than Giles is startled by a cry of "Help." Dudley is summoned to the morgue and there rinds t h e dead body of his friend. Henry Wilton.

He learns there is to be no trouble about monev as all expenses will be paid, the hire of the guards being paid by one Richmond." CHAPTER XIV.—Continued. "Yes, I suppose so," said I dryly. "But the woman has done me service —saved my life, I may say—and I'm willing to forget t h e bad in her." "That's not for me to bay, sor; but there's quare things happens, no doubt." "This note," I continued, "Is written over her name. I don't know whether it came from her or not; hut If she sent it I must see her. It may be a case of life or death for me." "An' if it didn't come from her?" asked the policeman shrewdly. "Then," said I grimly, "It's likely to be a case of death if I venture alone." "Ill tell you what, Mr. Wilton," said Corson after a pause. "If you'll wait a bit, I'll go with you—that is, if there isn't somebody else you'd like better to have by your side to-night, You don't look to have any of your friends about." "Just the thing," I said heartily. "There's no one I'd rather have. We'll go down a s soon as we can get a bite to eat." "Ill have to wait a bit, sor, till my relief cornea. He'll be along soon. As for getting a bite, you can't do better than wait till you get to Mother Borton's. It's a rough place, but it's got a name for good cooking." I was bewildered. "I guess there's not much to be got in t h e way of eating in the house. There was nothing left in it yesterday morning b u t t h e rats." I spoke with considerable emphasis. "That's quare, now," he said, looking to see If there was a jest behind the words. "But 'twas all there when McPherson and I put a club to a drunk as was raising the Ould Nick In t h e place and smashing t h e bottles, not six hours ago. When we took him away in t h e ixpress wagon the ould woman was rowling out those long black curses in a way that would warm the heart of t h e foul fiend himself." There was some fresh mystery about this. I held my tongue with t h e reflection that I had better let it straighten Itself out than risk a stumble by asking about things I ought to know. Corson's relief soon appeared. "It's i t nasty night," he said, buttoning up | his overcoat closely, as Corson gave him a brief report of the situation on the heat. "It's good for them as likes it dark," said Corson. "It's just such a night, as we had when Donaldson was murdered. 1)D you mind it?" "Do I mind it? Am I likely to forgit it? Well, a pleasant time to you. me hoy. Come nlong, sor. We'd better be moving. You won't mind slopping up to the hall with me, will ye, while I report?" "Certainly not," I said with a shiver, half at the grim suggestion of murder and half a t t h e chill of tho fog and the cutting wind that blew t h e cold vapor through to t h e skla. "You've PA jgyerjcoaV'. Mid. £Qrt©V "We'll atop and get one. I l l hare mine from tho station/' Toe alienee pi the iiouae of mystery was no leas threatening now than on the night when Henry Wilton was walking through the halls on the way to his death. But the stout-hearted policeman by my Bide gave me confidence, and no sign showed the presence of an enemy as I secured Henry's heavy overcoat and the large revolver he had given me, and we took our way down the stairs. A short visit t o t h e grimy, foulsmelllug basement of t h e City Hall, a brisk walk with t h e cutting wind at our backs and I felt rather than saw that we were in t h e neighborhood of the scene of my adventures of a night that had come so near costing me my life, and then 1 saw the lantern sign give forth its promise of the varied entertainment that could be had a t Borton's. "Here we are," said Corson. We pushed open the door and entered. The place had the same appearance as t h e one t o which I had been taken by Dicky Nahl. "A flue night, Mother Borton," said •Corson cheerily, a s he was the first t o enter, and then added under his breath, —"for t h e divil's business." Mother Borton stared at him with a black look and muttered a curse. "Good evening," I hastened to say. "I took the liberty to bring a friend; he doesn't come as a n officer tonight." The effect on the hag's features was marvelous. T h e black scowl lightened, t h e tight-drawn lips relaxed, and there w a s a sign of pleasure iu t h e bright eyes that had flashed hatred at t h e policeman. "Ah, it's you, is it?" she said sharply, but with a tone of kindness in her greeting. "I didn't see ye. Now sit down and find a table, and I'll be with ye after a bit." "We want a dinner, and a good one. I'm half-starved." "Are ye, honey?" said t h e woman with delight. "Then it's the best dinner in town ye shall have. Here, Jim! Put these gentlemen over there at t h e corner table." "It's not the aristocracy of stoile ye get here," said Corson, lighting his pipe after the coffee, "but it's prime eating." I nodded In lazy contenment, and then started up in remembrance of the occasion of our being in this place as the shadow of Mother Borton fell across the table. "If you will go upstairs," she said sourly. "You know the way. I guess your friend can spare you.'' "Is there anything that can't be told before him?" I asked. "You'll be safer in my care than in his," she said, with warning in her tone. "Yes, yes, I know I am safe here, but how is it with my friend if I leave him here? We came together and we'll go together." The crone nodded with a laugh that ended in a snarl. "If the gang knew he was here there would be more fun than you saw the other night." "Don't worry about me, Mr. Wilton," said Corson with a grin. "I've stood her crowd off before, and I can do it again if the need comes. But I'd rather smoke a poipe in peace." "You can smoke in peace, but it's not. yourself you can thank for it," said Mother Borton 3harply. "There'll be no trouble here to-night. Come along." And t h e old woman started for the door. "Are you sure you're all right?" asked Corson in a low voice. "There's men gone up those stairs that came down with a sheet over them." "It's all right—that is, unless there's danger to.you in leaving you here." "No. Go ahead. I'll wait for ye. I'd as lief sit here as anywheres." I hastened after Mother Borton, who was glowering a t roe from t h e doorway, and followed her footsteps in silence to the floor above. Mother Borton walked the passage cautiously and in silence, and I followed her example until she pushed open a door and was swallowed up in the blackness. Then I paused on t h e threshold while she lighted a candle; and as I entered, she swiftly closed and locked t h e door behind me. "Sit down," she said in a harsh voice, motioning me to a chair by t h e stand that held the candle. Then this strange creature seated herself in front of me, and looked steadily and sternly in my face for a full minute. "What have you done that I should help you?" she broke forth in a harsh voice, her eyes still fixed on my face. "I really couldn't say," I replied politely. "You have done me one or two service:; already. That's the best reason I know why you should do me another." The hard lines on the fare before me relaxed at t h e sound of my voice, ;ind the old woman nodded approvk i g i y . "Ay, reason enough, I guess. Them as wants better can find it themselves. Hut why did you sneak out of t h e house tho other night like a cop in plain clothes? Didn't. I go bail you were safe? Do you want, any better word than mine?" she had begun a l - ' most softly, but the voice grew higher and harsher as she want on. "Why," I said, bewildered again. "the house sneaked away from me— or, at least you left me alone in i t " "How was that?" she asked grimly. And I described graphically my experience In the deserted building. As 1 proceeded with my (ale an amused look replaced the harsh lines of suspicion on Mother Borton's face. "Oh, my lud!" she cried with a chuckle. "Oh, my lud! how very green you are, my boy. Oh ho! ho ho!" Aud then she laughed an Inward, self-consuming laugh that called up anything but the feeling of sympathetic mirth. "I'm glad it amuses you," I said with injured dignity. "Oh, my liver! Don't you see It yet? Don't you bee that you climbed into the next house back and went through on to t h e other street?" And she relapsed into her state of silent merrimeut. I felt foolish enough a s the truth flashed over me. I had lost my sense of direction in t h e strange house, and had been deceived by the resemblance of t h e ground plan of t h e two buildings. "But what about the plot?" I asked. "I got your note. It's very interesting. What about it?" "What plot?" "Why, I don't know. The one you wrote me about." Mother Borton bent forward a n d searched my face with her keen glance. "Oh," she said at last, "the one I wrote you about. I'd forgotten it." This was disheartening. How could I depend on one whose memory was thus capricious? "Yes," said I gloomily; "I supposed you might know something about it." "Show me the note," she said sharply. I fumbled through my pockets until I found it. Mother Borton clutched it, held it up to the candle, and studied it for two or three minutes. "Where did you get it?" I described the circumstances in which it had come Into my possession, and repeated t h e essentials of Cor- •%¥<*'rtr 7ns,*C7r,' xvr.vi.o MASPCV son's story. Mother Borton's nharp, evil face was impassive during my recital. When it was done she muttered: "Gimme a fool for luck." Then Bhe appeared to consider for a minute or more. "Well?" said I inquiringly. 1 "Well, honey, you're having a run of the cards," she said at last. "Between having t h e message trusted to a fool boy, and having a cop for your friend, a n ' maybe gitting this note before you're expected to, you're setting here genteel-like having agreeable conversation along with me, instead of being in company you mightn't like so well—or maybe floating out toward Port Point." "So you didn't write?" I said coolly. "I had an idea of t h e kind. That's why my friend Corson is smoking his pipe down stairs." Mother Borton gave me a pleased look and nodded. I hoped I had made her regret the cruel insinuation in her application of the proverb to me aa the favorite of fortune. "I see," I said. "I was to be waylaid on the road here and killed." "Carried off, more likely. I don't say as It wouldn't, end in killln' ye. But, you see, you'd be of mighty small use in tellin" tales if you was dead; but you might be got to talk if they had ye in a quiet place." "Good reasoning. But Henry Wilton was killed." "Yes," admitted Mother Borton; "they thought he carried papers, and maybe they ain't got. over the idea yit. It's jest as well you're here instid of having a little passear with Tom Terrill and Darby Meeker and their pals." "Well," said I, as cheerfully as I could under t h e depressing circumstances, "if they want to kill me, 1 don't see how I can keep them from ; getting a chance sooner or later." Mother Borton looked anxious at. this, and shook her head. "You must call on your men," she said decidedly. "You must have guards." By the way," I Mid. "that remind* me. The men ha v e n t been paid, and tiey'r? lopftta* | o me for money." • '^WnQ'MooklO* to you for money T { • *tKoa> N*hl—*uii tfcp others, I aup^ pose." "JHcky N a b j r "Why, yes. He asked me for It." "And you gave it to him?" she asked sharply. "No-o—that is, 1 gave him t e n dollars and told him he'd have to wait for the rest. I haven't got the money from the one that's doing the hiring yet, so I couldn't pay him." Mother Borton gave an evil grin, and absorbed another Inward laugh. "I reckon t h e money'U come all right," said Mother Borton, recovering from her mirth. "There's one more anxious than you to have 'em paid, and if you ain't found out you'll have it right away. Now for guards, take Trent—no, he's hurt. Take Brown and Porter a n d Barkhouse and Fltzhugh. They're wide-awake, and don't talk much. Take 'em two and two, and never go without 'em, night or day. You stop here to-night, and I'll git 'em for you to-morrow." I declined the proffered hospitality with thanks, a n d as a compromise agreed to call for my bodyguard in t h e early morning. Kejoining Corson, 1 explained Mother Borton's theory of the plot that had brought me thither. "She's like t o be right," said the policeman. "She knows the gang. Now, If you'll take my advice, you'll let t h e rats have your room for this night, aud come along up to some folne hotel." The advice appeared good, and fifteen minutes later Corson was drinking my health a t t h e Lick House bar, and calling on the powers of light and darkness to watch over my safety as I slept. Whether due to his prayers or not, my sleep w a s undisturbed, even by dreams of Doddridge Knapp and his charming but scornful daughter; and with the full tide of life'and business flowing through t h e street in t h e morning hours I found myself once more in Mother Borton's dingy eatingroom, ordering a breakfast. Mother Borton ignored my entrance, and, perched on a high stool behind the b?r and cash-drawer, reminded me of the vulture guarding its prey. But at last she fluttered over to my table and took a seat opposite. "Your men are here," she said shortly. And then, as I expressed my thanks, she warmed up and gave me a description by which I should know each and led me to t h e room where, as she said, they were "corralled." "By the way," I said, halting outside the door, "they'll want some money, I suppose. Do you know how much?" "They're paid." she said, and pushed open the door before I could express surprise or ask further questions. I surmised that she had paid them herself to save me from annoyance or possible danger, and my gratitude to this strange creature rose still higher. (TO HK CONTINUED.) W O R L D CENSUS OF JEWS. Only T w o Countries Have Greater" Number Than America. In the American Jewish Year Book, just issued by the Jewish Publication society of Philadelphia, the Jewish population of the United States is given as 1,777,185. Only two countries have a greater Jewish population, Russia, with 5,215,805, and Austria- Hungary, with 2,076,387. The immigration through t h e ports of New Yorlt, Philadelphia and Baltimore for the year ended June 30, 1907, w a s 134,113. The Jewish population of the United States is larger by 521 than t h e combined Jewish population of the British empire, Germany, France, Italy, Morocco, Turkey, Spain, China, Netherlands, Denmark. Norway, Peru and Crete. The British empire has only 361,639 Jews, of whom 17,403 a r e in Australia, 18,228 in India, 48,820 in South Africa and 40.000 in Canada and British Columbia. There a r e 463,686 Jews in Turkey, 30,578 in Egypt and 49,500 In Persia. In these three countries there a r e about 100,000 fewer than there a r e in New York city. The Jewish population of tho world is given as 11,585,202..—American Jewish Year Book. A Hurdy-Gurdy Romance. The day was sunny and warm. T h e shade of an o a k tree overhanging a board fence offered grateful shelter to the old woman who wheeled a hurdy gurdy slowly down the street. Leaving the organ at t h e curbstone, t h e woman seated herself on the ground close to t h e fence, untied a red bandanna, from which she produced a luncheon not over dainty or appetizing in appearance, spread out. a newspaper, and set forth the meal, evidently expecting some one else. The old hurdy-gurdy man soon joined her, bringing with him the pail of beer for which he had stopped on the avenue. Ho was brown and wrinkled and grimy like herself; hut before beginning the meal he bent down and kissed t h e old woman, as if observing a sacrament. And life seemed suddenly purer and sweeter to t h e passerby.—N. Y. Preaa. TOLL TO NEPTUNE H U M A N L I F E 1» T H E CO»T O F N A V A L E F F I C I E N C Y . OffU»rs Oa«lare Aeoldvnte Unavold able If Man and ftfcipa Ara to Be Kept Up t o t h e Proper Standard. Within ^recent months there bare been serious accidents to naval vessel* belonging to several nations. Although they have been dua to a variety of differing causes, they may be divided, broadly speaking, into two classes: due to errors in maneuvering, resulting in collisions, and those due to explosions in t h e ammunition stores. Naval officers say that such accidents a r e merely *o many manifestations of fate; that a sailor t a k e s chances when h e goes to sea, aud that once in a while he is bound to have a chance against him. The navy which keeps its ships and Its personnel up to an efficiency nearest to that which would actually hold in w a r t i m e is t h e navy most likely to have accidents, they say. And in witness of this they point to the British navy, with its ceaseless maneuvers, in fog, rain aud snow, and the frequent target practice on American men-o"- war. "It is not fair to ascribe accidents such as those which have visited t h e English men-o'-war to neglect of duty, in any way or fashion," said an officer. "And when you say psychologlcad influence, you mean, in effect, that they permitted something to step between their duties a n d themselves. This i s not so, I am sure. A man who goes t o sea—particularly a man who goes to sea on a warship. Is bound to have to run chances. "If a nation keeps its navy up to a point of maximum efficiency it is bound to be in more danger than It it lay, like the Chinese navy, swinging at anchor in some home port. In the English navy they a r e great on maneuvers. I don't know that they have any more than we do—I should say they probably have about the same number, and of no more stringent a character. "But, anyhow, they make a specialty of sending out their ships in all kinds of weather, fair and stormy. T h e English channel is a maze of tricky crosscurrents, and the coasts of t h e British Isles are often obscured by thick fog blankets. The weather in that part of the world is not a bit better than it ought to be, which does not make it an easy maneuvering ground. As far as that goes, I have been on sum mer practice cruises with one of the Atlantic squadrons, along the New England coast when, a s we crept from port to port, we were constantly surrounded by a mantle of fog. "It's Bix of one and half a dozen of the other. No matter how highly you train men, how careful they a r e , or how little chance they take, once in a while something must happen. We are training our sailors to be as good marksmen as any in the world, and keeping them rigidly to that state of ability, but we can't do It without risking lives and losing them. You can take every possible precaution and still there a r e chances of accidents. Call them sheer visitations of Providence if you will—guard against them closely, but y e t they are apt to happen. They are the price of efficiency." Bel'eved In Signs. "Evangeline is an up-to-date girl," confided the young man in the pearlcolored hat. "How so?" asked his friend. "Why, In t h e parlor there is a celebrated painting entitled 'The Kiss.' I have been calling on her two years, and I never noticed anything unusual about that picture until last night." "What did you notice?" "What did I notice? Why, right under it there was a sign: 'Do It Now.' " Figureheads for Autos. In some p a r t s of the civilized world the fetich or idol which disappeared long ago la coming back, in fact, h a s already returned, to do duty a s a guardian, protector, mascot or whatever one may please to call it. The new idol is in shape according to the fancy of t h e automobile owner, who places it on t h e front of the machine to prevent, accidents and arrest. These figureheads are all grotesque in style, the most popular being the image of a police officer with watch in hand, a b a r k i n g c u r a n d a crowing rooster. Murderer's Victim His Own Wife.

ROAMS FORESTS FOR YEARS H«d Cabins In Different Localities and Would Return Home Only Once a Year—Diea of Old Age in Poorhouse. Port Jcrvia, N. Y.—Modern stories or women hoboeft pale before the bis tory or Lucy Ann Lobdell Slater, who was arraatad lrf Honieadale, Pa., and subsequent*? -mmi-P* lhe poorboua*, whore aha died el\ old age, recently. A family named Lobdel! lived in Delaware county, New York. They dwelt in. a cabin in the woods, where JLUCT Ann waa born. From the time the girl Was old enougn to walk she w a i a great favorite among the hardy woodchoppers and raftsmen. They oft- « n took her to the logging camp, where, she remained for daya at a time, and early became inured to the hardahips and privations of their life. The lumbermen were all good hunters, and before Liucy was eight years old they had taught her the use of the rifle. At the age of 12 she could outthoot any of the men and handled the ax with the dexterity of an old woodchopper. Before »he was 16 she had killed several deer. A few years later she married a raftsman named Henry Slater. Slater proved a worthless husband and neglected hia wife. A year after they were married Mrs. Slater gave birth to a daughter. Slater deserted the child and its mother and never returned. The unhappy young wife went back to her parents. After vainly trying for two years to get along by doing women's work, she donned masculine 1?arb and, taking her rifle, went into the woods to earn a living for herself and child. For e^ght years she roamed the forests of Sullivan and She Had Cabina in Various Places. V Delaware counties. New York, and Wayne and Pike counties, Pennsylvania. She had cabins in various places, and would return home not more than once a year, and only appeared in the settlements to sell her game and skins and to procure ammunition. \ a?or two or three years after her re- 'tiirn the woman led a mendicant sort of life through the valley, and Anally centered the poor house at Delhi. Jn the spring of 1865 a young woman was put off a passenger train at Basket Station, as ahe could not pay her fare any farther. She gave her name aa Mrs. Wilson, and said she had been deserted by her husband at Jersey City. She was in feeble health and was taken- to the poorhouse at Delhi. There ahe met Mrs. Slater, and an attachment tfffnrsg up between the two. T^e two .women left the poorhouae the ifollowiiaj year, The next summer a party of fishermen discovered two atrange persons living in a cave in Barrett township, Monroe county, Pennsylvania. Soon thereafter there appeared in one of the villages a man carrying a rifle and leading a halfgrown bear. Accompanying him was -a. woman about 25 years 'old, who he said was his wife. For two years these vagrants wandered about the county. At last they were arrested and lodged in jail, where the discovery was made 1 hat the supposed man was a woman. They were Mrs. Slater and Mrs. Wilson. The authorities sent them to the almshouse whence they came, but the two women did not stay then; long. The next winter found them living in a cabin ten miles from Honesdale. They wandered into the town one day, were 'arrested and again sent to the almswhere they both died recently. THEFT OF A KISS" IS AVENGED BY HOSBANI COMPELS M A N W H O CAKfJSSED W I F E TO » A R K L I K E A DOO AND ROLL OVER. 3SB Chicago.—"Bark like a dog!" com manded Henry Storbeck to William Staff, 33 years old. "B-rrrrrr-kk," yowled Staff. "Now, roll over." ordered Staff. "Now, look here," remonstrated Staff, "I'm not a circus. That la not fair." "Roll over and then siaud on your head!" repeated Storbeck, pointing a revolver at Staff. Staff did hia best to point his legs toward the ceiling, while balancing himself on his head and keeping ooe nervous eye on the revolver. "Now, can I go?" he begged. "Not on your life," replied Storbeck. "Trot Around on Your Hands and Knees!" 'Trot around the room on your hands and knees." Alter half an hour of this sort of exercise Staff "rolled over" again and lay panting on the floor of Storbeck's home on Clifton avenue. "Now, say you are sorry you tried to kiss my wife," demanded the man with the weapon. "Honestly, I'm sorry," panted the man. "I'll never do it again." "I don't think you will," replied the other. "Now continue your little trot about the room while the police are arriving." When the police arrived they found Staff wet with perspiration and fear. "Take me out of this place," he shouted. "I'm nearly dead." Storbeck told the police Staff had tried to kiss his wife a few days ago. Mrs. Storbeck told her husband, who remained at home waiting for Staff to reappear. In due time Staff went to the Storbeck house and again tried to embrace Mrs. Storbeck. "I'd walk a mile on my knees for one kiss/' he exclaimed, and, despite the woman's protests, he took it. "All right," said Storbeck, appearing at the door with a pistol in hia hand. "You got the kiss—now atart the mile walk." After his "canter" Staff waa locked up at the police station, charged with disorderly conduct. A K E N T U C K Y CASK. LOCKED IN REFRIGERATOR CAR. Tramp Nearly Loaea His Life After Doors Are Fastened. Sioux Falls, S. D.—A tramp who crawled into an empty refrigerator car in the Sioux Falls yards of the Hock Island Railroad company had an experience which he will not, care to repeat and which nearly resulted In his death. After the tramp had crawled into the car. and while he waa asleep, the yardmen had occasion to switch the car on another track. One of the yardmen noticed that one of the doors of the refrigerator car waa slightly open, and aa a precaution to prevent an accident, the door was closed and fastened, and the supposed empty car was placed upon another track, which chanced to be a siding in a remote part of the yard More than 24 hours later one of the yardmen was passing in the vicinity of the refrigerator car and heard a sound, which resembled a muffled voice. While looking about, in different directions with the object of discovering from whence the mysterious sound proceeded, his alt.ention was attracted by a moving stick, which protruded from the side of one of the doors of the refrigerator car. The yardman went, to the door and opened it, and found the tramp in an almost lifeless condition. It took some time for him to recover sufficiently to relate what had befallen him. Double Education.

Mrs. Delia Meanea, 328 K. Front BL, Maysville, Ky., says: "Seven yeara ago I began to notice sharp pain in the kidneys and a bearing down sensation through the hips, dull headache a n d dizzy apella. Dropsy appeared, a n d my feet a n d a n k l e s swelled ao I could not get my shoes on. I waa in misery, and had despaired of ever getting cured when I decided to try Doan'a Kidney Pills.

"And who were the people who flrat thought of music, auntie?" "Why, child, they are considered to be prehistoric." "Oh, auntie, how well you do remember!" Too Much for Pa. The visitor to the home of a wellinown Hoosier state author found hia three youngsters romping in the hallway. "What'are you playing, boys?' ha Inquired. "We are playing pirates," elucidated the smallest. "Pirates? Why, how can you play pirates in Indiana? There are no seas bordering on this state." "Oh, we don't need any sea. We are literary pirates like pa." And five minute*, later a chorus of veils from behind ^he barn told that the hand that wields the pen can also R-ield the shingle. Little Nate That Probably Made Mean Pmployer Wince. Prof. Charles Zueblln. the brilliant and original sociologist of the University of Chicago, enunciated before the League of Political Education In New York a superb epigram: "He who begins with saving to protect hia family may end with neglecting hia family to save." Discussing the dangers of immoderate saving Prof. Zueblln said the other day; "It's by saving Immoderately that we come to inserting want advertisements like one I saw recently— 'Wanted, capable office boy; salary, | 1 a week.' "A young man or Seminary avenue, noticing this advertisement, couldn't resist replying to it. His reply rem: " 'I beg to offer you my servlcea. Should you require a premium I could furnish $500. You do not mention Sundays—should I have to work on that day? Neither do you state whether t t e applicant must be clothed or not, but I have concluded that he must at least wear trousers, or he would be unable to carry home his waites.'

"Some two months ago I had a humor break out on my limbs below my knees. They came to look like raw beefsteak, all red, and ne one knows how they Itched and burned. They were so swollen that I could not get my shoes on for a week or more. I used five or six different remedied and got no help, only when applying them the horning; wag wojae gnd the Itching less!. Fbf two or three weeks the suffering waa Intense and during that time i did not sleep an hour at a time. Then one morning I tried a bit of Cuticura. From the moment it touched me the Itching waa gone and I have not felt a bit of it since. The swelling went flown and In two days I had my shoes on and waa about as usual. George B.

"Moat of the faults We find with BQuitry keeping and stock raising would disappear It our chickens, torses, cows, hogs, sh*e» a*d oflier animals could talk," remarked a farmer to hia wife after reading about a, wonderfully clever talking parrot "Suppose, for instance," continued the farmer, "that when oar hens stopped laying, at a time when we think they ought to lay, that I went to Mrs. Hen and said: 'What's the xo|£er with you, why have you stopped laying?' Why, ahe could confine U m l and I would at once know what to do for her. Same way with our .horses, cows, hoga and sheep. If* ttje/ fcqgld tell us what ailed them, we could do a whole lot more for them than we do now." Does the suggestion sound funny? Perhaps so—but it only goes to ahoW the necessity of knowing what really ails our poultry and live stock when they refuse to eat or to do their work. The fine books published by the Pratt Food Co. should have been called "The Voice of the Horae," "The Voice of Poultry," "The Voice of the Hog," "The Voice of Cattle," "The Voice of Sheep." The reason la that If Poultry and Livestock could talk, they would say exactly what ia said In these splendid bookB published by the Pratt Food Company. These books are really the voice of the creatures discussed, and a heart to heart talk with a speech-gifted fowl or animal would not produce more valuable information than is found la the five hooks in question. Send postal to the Pratt Food Co., Dep't R, Philadelphia, Pa., and ask for Pratts New Poultry Book, Pratts New Horse Book, Pratts New Cattle Book and Pratts New Sheep Book. Any one of these 25 cent books will be sent free to our readers. Triumph of Mind. Victim of Delusion—Doctor, I'm awfully afraid I'm going to have brain fever. Doctor—Pooh, pooh, my dear friend!

Bobby was on a rlsit to his uncle, a good old orthodox deacon, in the country. The two were the best of friends, and Bobby always sat at the deacon's right hand at table.

T H E FIRST T A 8 T E Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby. If parents realized the fact that coffee contains a drug—caffeine—which is especially harmful to children, they would doubtless hesitate before giving the babies coffee to drink. "When I was a child in my mother's arms and first began to nibble things at the table, mother used to give me sips of coffee. As my parentB used coffee exclusively at meals I never knew there was anything to drink but coffee and water. "And so I contracted the coffee habit early, I remember when quite young, the continual use of coffee so affected my parents that they tried roasting wheat and barley, then ground it in the coffee-mill, as u substitute for coffee. "But it did not taste right and they went hack to coffee again. That was long before Postum was ever heard of. I continued to use coffee until I was 27, and when I got into office work, I began to have nervous spells. Especially after breakfast. I was so nervouB I could scarcely attend to my correspondence. "At night, after having coffee for supper, I could hardly sleep, and on rising in the morning would feel weak and nervous. "A friend persuaded me to try Postum. My wife and I did not like it at first, but later when boiled good and strong it. was fine. Now we would not. Rive up Postum for the best coffee we ever tasted. "I can now get. good sleep, am free from nervousness and headaches. I recommend Postum to all coffee drinkers. "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co..

You won't tell your family doctor the whole story about your private illness—vou are too modest You need not oe afraid to tell Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass^ the things you could not explain to the doctor. Your letter will be held in the strictest confidence. From her vast correspondence with sick women during the past thirty years she may have gained the very knowledge that will help your case. Such letters as the following, from grateful women, establish beyond a donbt the power of LYD1A E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND to conquer all female diseases. Mrs. Norman R Barndt, of Allentown, Pa^ writes: " Ever since I was sixteen yeara of i affe I had suffered from an organic de- | range men t and female weakness; in ! consequence I had dreadful headaches and was extremely nervous.

The untiring will bo forever active. In the ninth verse of (he previous chapter Imae] is trying to wake up Jehovah. "Awake, a w a k e ; put. on s-trenisth, O arm of the Lord." The wordM of our t-'Xt is Hod's answer to that prayer. "Awake, awake; put en thy strength, () Zion." "Wake up yourself," aays the Lord. "1 am not asleep. N o attribute of mine needs repose. 1 am ready, willing, waiting to exert my power, whenever you fulfill the conditions I have imposed." We have not by prayer or exertion to induce God to bless ua. But prayer arid exertion God requires for our Kccd. It would be no kindness in hirn to bless sleeping Christians. T*hey would not knov,- it, if he did. Let us inquire: 7. What are the sipns of nleep? 2. What are the c a u s e s of sleep? 3. Why should w e awake? The Signs of Sleep. Inactivity. If a man remains motionless on the lounge for three or four hours, I take it for granted that h e is asleep. If he should continue in that motionless condition for three or four days, I should pronounce him dead. If a Christian does nothing for Christ, he is asleep. If he persists in his course of useless-mess, it is a fair presumption that he is no Chris tian at all. Life will express itself. "V.y their fruits ye shall know them." Insensibility to Slight Impressions. If I wished to learn whether a man were asleep, I would not fire a can i:on over him. Awake or asleep, he would be aroused by that. I would whisper to him or touch him gently. The fact thai you are startled by the cHnnon-boom of great crime is no proof that you are awake. Hut how are you affected by what the world callB littlo s i n s ? Disobedience of any kind makes the wide-awake Christian smart with pain. ILMJirect«d Effort. People talk and walk in th«ir sleep, but it i s all to no purpose. Their talk is -incoherent, and their walk without airn.'

So there are moral and social atmospheres that s e e m to be very good, but Christians who go into them fall asleep.

Christ looked cut upon the fields and dec:ared that t h e y were ripe, waiting for the sickle. To-day the fields are larger and the grain just as ripe. Shame, shame, a thousandfold, on the Christian who sleeps and takes h i s rest, while the fields in which he might reap many golden sheaves are all around him, and the grain that, invites his sickle Is being trampled by the hoofs of infidelity and sin. It Is a Time of War. and the Enemy- Is Wide Awake. While we sleep, the citadels of truth are being taken. Our very children are made captive by the enemy.

He moved with his parents to Superior, Washtenaw 'Co., Alien., in 1837, where he lived until youug manhood, when he gave several years to traveling as i musician, through nearly all of the Middle, Southern and Western states, all of which he was as familiar with as one who had had their sense of vibion. He came to Pinckney in the early 70's where he resided until the time ot his death. He joined the CongT church Apr. 2, 1881, 27 years ago, where he has ever been lound at the post ot duty. He was ever present in his S, S. class which he enjoyed with the same earnestness as he did ti e Sunday services and the midweek meetings. Last Thursday evening he seemed j more earnest than usual talking sevj eral times during the evening. His j last prayer was tor the children and I the homes of Pinckney. He admonished the parents for their apparent lack ot interest in the S. S. which he considered as the chief corner stone ot the church, His departure will be mourned by i many friends in and around Pinckney as well as by his immediate relatives who have the sympathy ot the entire community, 'I have known many pleasures in this lite, together with the experiences of a j well rouiidrid three score and ten yearsj I, now at my departure, can say that j health is a blessing, kind triends and j faithful relatives is a blessing, but the j greatest blessing as well as the most ] enobling privilege is to be at heart [ and *oul a Christian."

Giles Dudley arrived In San Francisco to join hits friend and distant relative Henry Wilton, whom he was to assist in an important and mysterious task, and who accompanied Dudley an the ferry boat trip into the city. The remarkable resemblance of the two men la noted and commented on by passengers on the ferry. They see a man with snake eyes, which send* a thrill through Dudley. Wilton postpones an explanation •of the strange errand Dudley is to perform, but occurrences cause him to know it is one of no ordinary meuninKWilton leaves Giles In thetr room, with Instruction to await his return. Hardly has he gone than Giles Is startled by a •cry of "Help." Dudley is summoned to the morgue and there llnds the deaa •body of his friend, Henry Wilton. Ami thus Wilton dies without ever explaining to Dudley the puzzling work he was to perform in San Francisco. In order to •discover the secret mission his friend had -•entrusted to him, Dudley continues his •disguise and permits himself to be known as Henry Wilton. Dudley, mistaken for Wilton, Is employed by Knapp to assist •In a stock brokerage deal. Giles Dudley finds himself closeted In a room with Mother Borton who makes a confidant of him. He can learn nothing about the •mysterious boy further than that it is 'Tim Terrill and Darby Mocker who are after him. He is told that "Dicky" Naht ta a traitor, playing both hands In the game. Giles tlnds himself locked In a room. Dudley gets his first knowledge of Decker, who is Knapp's enemy on the Board. Dudley visits the home of Knapp and i.s .stricken by the beauty of Duella, his daughter. He learns the note was forgerv. He is provided with four guards. Brown, Barkhouse, Fttzhugh and Porter. He learns there is to be no trouble about money as all expenses will be paid, the hire of the guards being paid by one "Richmond." The body of Henry Wilton in committed to the vault. Dudley responds to a note and visits Mother Norton in company with Policeman Corson. CHAPTER XIV.—Continued. The four men within the room saluted me gravely and with Mother Borton's direction In mind I had no hesitation in calling each by his name. I was pleased to see that they were robust, vigorous fellows, and soon made my dispositions. Brown and Barkhous were to attend me during daylight and Fitzhugh and Porter were to guard together at night. And, so much settled, I hastened to the office. No sign of Doddridge Knapp disturbed the morning, and at the noon hour I returned to the room in the house of mystery that was still my only fixed abode. All was apparently as I had left It, except that a letter lay on the table. "I must get a new lock," was my comment, as I broke the seal. "This place is getting too public when every messenger has a key." I was certain that I had locked the door when Corson and I had corao out on the evening before. The letter was from my unknown employer, and read: "Richmond has paid the men. He ready for a move at any moment. Leave your address if you sleep elsewhere." And now came three or four days of rest and quiet after the merry life I had been leading since my arrival in San Francisco. In the interval I improved my time by getting better acquainted with the city. Emboldened by my body-guard, I slept for two nights In Henry's room, and with one to watch outside the door, one lying on a mattress just inside, and a new lock and bolt, I was free from disturbance. Just as I had formed a wild Idea of looking up Doddridge Knapp in his home, I came to the office in the morning to find the door into Room 16 wide open and the farther door ajar. "Come In, Wilton," said the voice of the King of the Street; and I entered his room to find him busied over his papers, as though nothing had occurred since I had last met him. "The market has had something of ft vacation," I ventured, as he failed to •peak. "I have been out. of town," he said Shortly. "What have you done?" "Nothing." He gave a grunt of assent. "You didn't expect me to buy Tfp the market, did you?" The yellow-gray mustache wont up. and the wolf-fangs gleamed from bencath. "I reckon it. wouldn't have been, a very profitable speculation," he replied. Then he leaned back in his •Thailand looked meditatively at the wall, "Have you heard anything more ot Decker?" he asked. "I've heard enough to satisfy me that, he's the man who got the Omega s t o c k . " ; , • . , . ' , , " •• "What other deal is bm in?" asked tho King of the Street. "I don't know." The Kins of the Street smiled indulgently. "Well, you'v# gjot something to learn yet. t i l give you ttii *ue*.t week io find the answer to that question." 1 was convinced from his air tfiat he had information on both these points him&elL autJ was merely trying my knowledge. "I .1 not be back before next Wedues day," he concluded. "Going away again'.'" i asked in surprise. "I'm off to Virginia City," he replied after considering for a little. "I'm not sure about Omega, after all— and there's anuther one 1 want to look into. You needn't mention my going. When I come back we'll have a campaign that will raise the roof of every Board in town. No orders till then unlesa I telegraph you. That's all." The King of the Street seemed straightforward enough In his statement of plana, and it did not occur to me to distrust him while I was in his presence. Yet, once more in my office, with the locked door between, I began to doubt, and tried to find some hidden meaning in each word and look. CHAPTER XV. I Am in the Toils. "Welcome once more, Mr. Wilton," said Mrs. Doddridge Knapp, holding out her hand. "Were you going to neglect us again?" "Not at all, madam," said I with unblushing mendacity. "I am always at your command." I had received a letter from Mrs. Bowser setting forth that I was wanted at the house of Doddridge Knapp, and her prolixity was such that I was unable to determine whether she or Mrs. Knapp or Luella wished to see me. Hut as all three appeared to be concerned in it I pocketed pride and resentment, and made my bow with some nervous quavers at the Pine Street palace. As I was speaking I cast my eyes furtively about the room. Mrs. Knapp interpreted my glance. "She will be in presently." There was to my ear a trace of mocking laughter in her voice as she spoke, but her face betokened only a courteous interest. "Thanks—I hope so," I said in a little confusion. I wished I knew whether she meant Luella or Mrs. Bowser. "You got the note?" she asked. "It was a great pleasure." "Mrs. Bowser wished so much to see you again. She has been singing your praises—you were such an agreeable young man." I cursed Mrs. Bowser in my heart. "I believe there was some arrangement between you about a trip to see the sights of Chinatown. Mrs. Bowser was quite worried for fear you had forgotten it, so I gave her your address and told her to write you a note." I had not been conscious of expecting anything from my visit, but at this bit of information I found that I had been building air-castles which had been invisible till they came tumbling about my ears. I could not look for Miss Knapp's company on such an expedition. "Oh," .said I, with an attempt to conceal my disappointment, "the matter had slipped my mind. I shall be most happy to attend Mrs. Bowser, or to see that, she has a proper escort." Wo had been walking about, the room during this conversation, and at this point had come to an alcove, where Mrs. Knapp motioned me to a seat. "I may not. get a chance to talk with you alone again this evening," she continued, dropping her half-bantering tone, "and you come so lit tie now. What, are you doing0 " "Keeping out of mischief." "Yes,, but how?" ^he persisted. "You ' used to tell me everything. Now you tell me. nothing." j "Mr. Knapp's work—" I began. 1 "Oh, of ronr.se, 1 dnn't expect you : to tell me about that. I know Mr. Knapp. and you're as close-mouthed j iis'.Jie, even when he's away." "I should tell you anything of my i own. but of course, another's— * "I understand." Mrs. Knapp, sitting with hands elapsed in her lap, gave me a quick look. "But there was something else. You were telling me about your adventures, ynu remember. You told me two or three weeks ago about the way you tricked Darby Meeker and sent him to "Serrla City." And she aniiled at the recollection of Darby Meeker's discomfiture. "Oh, yes," I said, with a laugh that sounded distressingly hollow to my ears. "That, was a capital joke on Meeker." "How did it turn out?" asked Mrs. Knapp with lively luteiest. "Did he get back?" 1 decided promptly ou a judicious amount of truth. "Yes, he got back bulling with wrath Hud loaded to the guards with threats—that is, I heard so from my men. I dldu't see htm myself, or you might have found the rest ul it in the newspaper." "What did he do? Tell me about it." Mrs. Knapp gave every evidence of absorbed interest. "Well, he laid a trap for me at Bor ton's, put Terrill in as advance guard and raised blue murder about the place." And then I went on to give a carefully amended account of my first night's row at Borton's, and with an occasional question Mrs. Knapp had soon extorted from me a fairly full account of my doings. "It is dreadful for you to expose yourself to such dangers. ' I was privately of her opinion. "Oh, that's nothing," said I airily. "A man may be killed any day by a brick falling from a building, or by slipping on an orange peel on the crossing." "But is dreadful to court death so. Yet," she mused, "if I were a man I could envy you your work. There is romance and life in it, as well as danger. You are doing in the nineteenth century and in the midst of civilization what your forefathers may have done In the days of chivalry." "It Is a fine life," I said dryly. "But it has its drawbacks." "But while you live no one can harm the child," she said. There was inquiry in her tone, I thought. I suppressed a start of surprise. 1 had avoided mention of the boy. Henry had trusted Mrs. Knapp further than I had dreamed. "He shall never be given up by me," I replied with conviction. "That is spoken like a true, brave man," said Mrs. Knapp with an admiring look. "Thank you," I said modestly. "Another life than yours depends on your skill and courage. That must give you strength," she said softly. "It does'indeed," I replied. I was thinking of Doddridge Knapp's life. "But here come Luella and Mrs. Bowser," said Mrs. Knapp. "I see I shall lose your company." My heart gave a great bound, and I turned to see the queenly grace of Luella Knapp ay she entered the room in the train of Mrs. Bowser. Was it fancy, or had she grown paler and thinner since I had last seen her? surely those dark hollows under her eyes that told of worry and lost sleep were not there when her brightness had chained my admiration. "Luella!" called Mrs. Knapp. 1 fancied she gave a low, musical laugh as she spoke, yet the glance showed me that her face was calm and serious. "Luella, here is some one you will like to see." Luella Knapp turned and advanced. What was the look that lighted up her face and sparkled from her eye? Before I could analyze the magnetic thrill that came from it, it was gone. A flush passed over her face and died away as she came. "You honor our poor house once more?" she said, dropping a mock courtesy. "I thought you had deserted us." "Not. I," said I stoutly, holding out my hand. I saw there was a little play to be carried on for the benefit of Mrs. Knapp. For some reason she had not confided In her mother. "Not I. 1 am always your humble knight." I saw that Mrs. Knapp was looking at us curiously, and pressed my advantage. Luella took my hand unwillingly. I was ready to dare a good deal for the clasp of her fingers, but 1 scarcely felt the thrill of their touch before she had snatched them away. "There's nothing but pretty speeches to be had from you—and quotations at that," she said. There was malice under the seeming innocence of a pre tended pout. "There's nothing that could be so becoming in the circumstances." "Kxcept common sense," frowned Luella. "The most uncommon of qualities, my dear," laughed Mrs. Knapp. "Sit down, children. I must see to Mr Carter, who is lost by the portiere and will never be discovered unless I resrne him." "Take bim to dear Aunt Julia." said Luella as her mother left us. "Dear Aunt Julia," I inferred, wa^ Mrs. Bowser. Luella took a sent, nnd I followed her example. Tbeu, with chin in hand and albow oa the arm of her chair, the young woman looked at me calmly and thoughtfully. "Well." eafrf Luella at last In A cutting voice, "why don't you talk?" "It'3 your ipftd,", »ald 1 gloomily. "You took the last trick." At this reference to our meeting, Luella looked surprised. Then she gave a little rippling laugh. "Really," she said, "I believe I shall begin to like you, yet." "That's very kind of you; but turn about is talr play." "You mustn't do that," said she severely, "or I shan't." "I meant it." said I defiantly. "Then you ought to kuow better than to say it," she retorted. "I'm in need of lessons, 1 fear." "How delightful of you to confess it! Then shall 1 tell you what to do?" This was very charming. 1 hastened to say: "Do, by all means." The youug woman sank back In her chair, clasped her hands in her lap as her mother had done, and glanced hastily about. Then in a low voice she said: "Be yourself." It was an electric shock she gave me, not more by the words than by the tone. I struggled for a moment before I regained my mental balance. "Don't you think we could get on safer ground?" I suggested. "No," said Luella. "There isn't any safe ground for us otherwise." The sudden heart-sickness at the remainder of my mission with which these words overwhelmed me, tied my tongue and mastered my spirits. It was this girl's father that I was pursuing. Oh, why was this burcten laid upon me? Why was I to be torn on the rack between inclination and duty? Luella watched my face narrowly through the conflict in my mind, and I felt as though her spirit struggled with mine to win me to the course of open, honest dealing. But it was Impossible. She must be the last of all to know. Her eyes sank as though she knew which had won the victory, and a proud, scornful look took the place of the grave good humor that had been there a moment before. Then, on a sudden, she began to speak of the theaters, rides, drives and what-not of the pleasures of the day. Suddenly she stopped with a weary look. "There's Aunt Julia waiting for you," she said with a gleam of malicious pleasure. "Come along. I deliver you over a prisoner of war." "Wait a minute," I pleaded. "No," she said, imperiously motioning me. "Come along." And with a sigh I was given, a helpless, but silently protesting, captive, to the mercies of Mrs. Bowser. That eloquent lady received me with flutter of feathers, if I may borrow the expression, to indicate her pleasure. (TO RK CONTINTTED.) JUST AS GOOB AS MONEY. Amos Budd's Little Contribution to the Church. Stories have been told of buttons, tacks and various extraneous substances found in contribution boxes, but it is seldom that a church-member strikes a blow so severe as was that delivered by Amos Budd of Porterville on one occasion. It was at the close of a missionary sermon that Mr. Budd, whose wont was to contribute ten cents to each of the charities to the support of which the church subscribed, was seen to take take a blue slip from his pocket and look at it keenly and affectionately. When, After a slight but evident hesitation he dropped the slip, carefully folded, into the box, Deacon Lane, who was passing it, could hardly refrain from an exclamation of joy. "The Lord will bless you, Brother Budd," he said, when the sermon was over, hurrying down the aisle to overtake the prosperous grocer. "I hope so," returned Mr. Budd, dryly, "but I'm afraid you cal'Iate on that being a check that I dropped in the box. It wa'n't. 'Twas a receipted bill for kerosena the church owed me last year, and it had been overlooked. Of course It's jest the same as money, though, when you come to that."—Youth's Companion. Dogs' Homing Instinct. The other day, writes a correspondent, a dog was sent by carriage to Brandon station, in Norfolk, en route for London, from Buckingham hall. At Ely it slipped its collar as the guard took it out to give it. water, the time was after dark on a winter evening, and the dog dashed away and could not. he found. At 6:3() on the following morning one of the stablemen at, Buckingham heard a dog whining and howling under the window. It was the same dog returned. The distance from Ely to Buckingham is computed at 17 miles. The dog is a female spnrre], and it ;.s virtually certain that, its local knowledge of the country about Buckingham ^n the side toward Kly was limited to a mile from the former. This would leave it an unknown tract of lb miles to travel through the dark in a single night. By what sense was it irulded?—Country Life. Hallelujah 5SC B? REV. A. C.DIXON, D.D., PMtar of thm C k k w A»«. { Ckurcfc, CkK««o. *•) This word, which is t r a n s l a t e d . "Praise ye the Lord," occurs, as I have counted, 24 times in the Book of Psalms, and lour tiuiea iu the nineteenth chapter ot Revelation, making 28 times altogether in the Bible. In t h e Psalms it is the Hallelujah of earth and iu Revelation it is the Hal lelujuh of heaven. It is a word which cannot be translated by one word into any other language, and is, therefore, transferred. Hallelujah of Nature. The first use of the word is at the close of Psalm 104. This Psalm is the finest poem - on nature I have ever read. It begins by calling ou the soul to bless God. and then ascribes to God t h e greatness, honor and majesty which a study of nature suggests to a religious mind. The light is God's garment. The heaven is the canopy which he has spread, and tho foundations of the ocean he laid. He makes the clouds his chariot uud walks upon the wings of the wind. The thunder is his voice. He made the springs which water birds and beast. The £rass for the cattle, the trees for the nesting birds, the hills for the wild goats, and the rucks for the conies are the expression of his love a/id wisdom. He made the laws which govern the sun and moon. The Hallelujah Of Providence. The One Hundred and Fifth Psalm, which also closes with "Hallelujah," deals with the history of Israel and the Psalmist sees the footprints of God in history as well as iu nature. It was God who covenanted with Abraham, "made oath unto Isaac," and confirmed the same t > Jacob." It was God who protected his people when they "were but few in number." It was God who "called for a famine upon the land" when prosperity had caused them to forget his laws. It was God who sent Joseph into Egypt and then Moses as the deliverer of his people. It was God who sent the darkness and turned their water into blood. It was God who spread a cloud over them for a covering and gave them "fire to give light in the night." It was God who "opened the reck" and quenched their thirst. Hallelujah of Grace. The One Hundred and Sixth Psal n begins and closes with "Hallelujah," anil the key-note of its contents is in the first verse: "Give thanks unto the Lord, for his mercy endureth forever." He prays "O visit me with thy salvation," and he makes confession of sin: "We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly." Hallelujah of Judgment. This appears in Revelation 19:1-2. "Hallelujah. Salvation and honor and power unto the Lord our God, for tvm and righteous are- his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication. And again they said Hallelujah. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever," The Hallelujah of judgment seems to shock soft, sentimental natures who cannot endure the thought that God could send one to hell. And yet any one with a spark of nobility of character must, rejoice over the apprehension and punishment of certain criminals. There are said to be creatures with the outward resent t l a n c e of men in Chicago whose business is to ruin young girls and sell them to houses of prostitution for $S0 and $75, and these creatures ought, to be in hell, and will certainly go there unless they repent. Hallelujah of Sovereignty. "Hallelujah, for the Lord our God reigneth." God seems to be dethroned, but he is not. The fact. that, he does not strike dead monsters of iniquity in human shape is proof that, he is merciful. When, therefore, I read in the press of the orgies of those who lie in wait for the innocent and seek their destruction. I say: 'Hallelujah: God is merciful." And when I read that, some monster has been overtaken hy retribution, I say with equal emphasis: '-Hallelujah: God is just." When I hear a blasphemer revile God and the Bible, 1 say; "Hallelujah: God is merciful, or he would be sin;'ten dumb," and when f hear the same man. yet not the same, because he has been transformed by the grace of God, praising God for the redemption, through the blood of Christ, a s "many a ono hate done, I say: "Hallelujah: HalWlujah for time and eternity!" «ttt finrknn; dispatch.

For the past five years, tbe American Medical Association Journal has been collecting statistics showing what tbe noisy celebration ot July tbe fourth costs in human life. These statistics are compiled from newspaper reports. They would be more accurate, perhaps, if they were records ot hospitals, dispensaries, surgeons and their sources. Nevertheless, they i r e conclusive evidence ot the recklessness and insane mania for noise characteristic of the American boy. The statistics showing that during the last five anniversaries from 1903 to 1907, 1153 persons were killed and 22,520 were injured. Of the wounded eighty persons suffered total loss of eyes, and 389 partial loss. 380 lost arms, legs or hands and 1670 lost one or more fingers.

Lieith watt proud of his posaebslanj. <TJae big, red, vociferous car ex aictly suited hit* mood—for he liked to -do thiuga hurriedly; he worshiped atwlftneas. Eveu uow he had left the fort by ' the Valley road and was duHlily tear lug. to ward Rockwell City, four ujileH away. So Col. Lelth went unconsciously on tils way, driving his motor cur faster a u d faster -until soinethiug happened. aJomethiuK usually does happen with motor cara. Several things hap- 4>eued first aJid laat with thia one and t h e colonel. ThlH was a comparatively harmless fcaupenlug. He cavorted around tb» toluffs by the city's edge, careened through the deep cut by the river— a n d came plump on Grace Dewey, daughter of the best known ranchman in the valley. H e r mount reared, but trained ^horsewoman that she waa, she kept h e r seat in the saddle. The car wheezed and the horse reared again. TMa time she did not keep her seat, i m t went down in a limp bundle to t h e hard road, while the horse raced « p the ravine, aa if it, too, were working for a speed record. To make the incident the more striking, L i e u t Roberts just then came cantering down the highway, his accoutrements Jangling and his cavalry charger doing iU prettiest gait. Roberts and the colonel were at the girl's side simultaneously. "I am sure I did not mean—" be gan the colonel. "Let me assist you, mlsB," and the lieutenant was lifting her, his arm around her shoulders and her jaunty hat resting against his coat sleeve. At t h a t identical moment the lieutenant a n d the colonel parted company as friends. They did not realize that they were at the separation of the ways, but it was so. Miss Dewey opened her eyes, looked into the colonel's face; then recognized the lieutenant—and straightened up, fully recovered. They were not strangers; all had met at Mrs. Marson's reception a month before. "I am not hurt—not hurt. But where is Rex?" she asked, looking anxiously around. "'J think, madam," replied the colonel, bowing with awkward and .old fashioned courtesy, "that be is just truant, should be put under arrest, and you, Miss Grace, ought to be turned over to yuur fa ther. You both know that thia should b« done." He had not looked at them while he talked—now that he did, he saw that Roberts' arm was around the rancher's daughter, and that her eyes were gazing appealingly toward him. least. He ordered his car for the ] He always had admired those blue early evening eyes—he looked into them, his heart "See that it is in perfect trim, iu the glance, then with a dash of his Her Mount Reared. crossing the Rocky mountains by this time, if he kept, on going at the r a t e he started. But may I take you h o m e ? " He motioned toward the vociferous rad car that panted and rumbled by t h e roadside. With Roberts riding stiffly behind, talking at intervals to the passenger, they made their way slowly ai.Toss the long bridge and over the broad valley toward the wide-porched bungalow- dwelling of the Dewey ranch. The next day the colonel sat in his leather chair and apjain went over the affair at the ravine. A Ions time he mused, and now and again a smile lighted the bronzed faro. Twenty years in the army, four at West Point —yes, it was time. Ho would think rjnore about it. From that timp it was a race between the colonel and the lieutonant. The colonel drove as swiftly a-s 'ever; the lieutenant took lonely horseback rides. Then' one evening Rob >rrts railed on his commander. "i would like absence for a few days, sir." 'Tininc; to lcavp us?" querio;! th~ rolonf]. "You know we may havo mnrrhine; orders for the maneuvers soon." "No—no. not a ^re^f distance, sir. ' The lieutenant was embarrassed. The leave wan granted and the colonel was secretly glad to do it. The ileld would be clear for awhile, at jamets," aald he to his servant. "1 may want to take a long run." Out over the open plains he went, 3U miles an hour, the fresh breath of the level lands beating his face and the inspiration of wide reaches of uutrammeled view delighting his eyes. Turuing into the valley along the river, he came to the tall eottonwoods, once the hiding places of savagos with whom the early commanders of the garrison had fought. The lamps flickered on the underbrush— What—atop! Reverse the engine! Close In front were rearing figures. Two horses were plunging iu the roadside, one had fallen, tangled in a barbed wire fence that some reckless farmer had strung close to the road. The colonel leaped from his car and ran to Jhelp the travelers out of their predicament. "He careful, miss—there, Til help you up," and he lifted from the vines and tall grasses beside the road a slender form garbed in gray. "Is she hurt?" came a voice from the depth of the tangled saplings, as her companion forced his way toward them. Turning, the colonel recognized in the bedraggled cavalier—Roberts. He almost feared to look at the young woman who was regaining her feet—but he did. It was as he suspected. "I am so sorry—" he began. "I supposed there was a clear road." "We don't blame you at all," replied Roberts, cheerfully, "but the fact is, it is somewhat embarrassing. Grace's—Miss Dewey's horse has run off and we—that is, well, we want to get to Rockwell City mighty bad— and quick!" "I am sure it was no fault of yours," added the young woman, now regaining her feet and showing a constantly increasing discomfiture. The red motor car glared at th~» trio wickedly as if it were glad it had disconcerted the plans of any enemy of its master. "Now, colonel, I hate to tell you this," began Roberts, nervously. "I am sure you will sympathize with me and with Grace — Miss Dewey. You see, colonel, we are—that is, well, we are going to be married." If the red automobile had turned somersaults, if the river had suddenly stood on cn^, the colonel could scarcely have been more taken aback. lie turned his face so that it would not show pale in the glare of the pilot lamp. "Yes, I understand," he Anally managed to say. "And Miss Dewey's father does not like it very well," with the suspicion of a laugh in the words. "In fact, he will probably 'be after us when he finds out. We have come this roundabout way to throw him off the track —and you see where we are?" "Yes, I Bee," was the slow response. The colonel's voice was strangely cold, and he was conscious of a distinct effort in getting the words out in the proper form. "I see. You are afraid he will catch you before you are married? He does not like army men?" There was an odd twist in the colonel 8 voice as if he, too, were inclined to smile. "Papa has his prejudices, you know," put in Mia* Dewey, demurely. "He will miss ua before long;" the lieutenant's words fairly dripped with excitement. He peered anxiously down the road. "And Grace's hor3e has gone for good," "My duty is clear," began the colonel, his voice still husky. "I know very well that you young people should be taken in charge. You, ileuhand wiped out the. vision. "You scapegraces deserve this—but 1 don't know that your father, miss, is any friend of mine. Where tjid you say you wanted to go?" "To Rockwell City—to a minister's," eagerly exclaimed Roberts. "Climb in here—send that horse of yours up the road—we'll get him In the morning." His orders were positive and definite. A stroke of the whip and the lieutenant's mount went racing up the path after the ranch girl's Rex. Roberts aud Grace clambered into the car. With a crunch the car started, and in another minute they were speeding toward Rockwell City, 40 miles an hour. Up the deserted Btreet, across the railroad tracks, past the hotel with Its many lights they sped. With a jolt they stopped at a modest dwelling on a side street. Col. Leith was first to leap from the car. Gently he helped the young woman from her place, and his strong hand was in hers as he gave her to Roberts' care. "This is a very informal and undignified proceeding, young people," he began. "I am sorry to see you do this way." He was talking against time, for so long as he talked her hand lay in his. "I am not going to give my approval—but I will give my blessing." He hesitated a little. "As for you, Lieut. Roberts, if you sthow yourself on the reservation for two weeks, you will be placed in the guard-house. Good luck—good-by!" As the colonel left the town behind on his way to the post, he met an eager rider hurrying cityward. He might have told him some interesting news had he wished. Instead, he pushed the car to a swifter speed. Why cause people unnecessary worry? Now and Then a Crook Reforma. Once a criminal, always a criminal, is not of necessity an unbreakable rule, and has had more than one exception. One of our biggest patent medicine men, gray-headed, a multimillionaire, and all that, was the "Long Jim" of the Cadiz bank robbery of 40 years ago. He escaped from the Columbus (O.) penitentiary through the intervention of a friend, who himself— for a blind—kept a iivery stable in New York, while carrying to success such crime triumphs as the Ocean bank robbery.

Get the "Automobile Stare." The automobile stare is becoming noticeable in New York city.

"ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS.' KISS SAVES WOMAN FROM LIVING BURIAL IS ABOUT TO BE I N T E R R E D W H E N LAST CARESS P R E V E N T S TRAGEDY. QUEEN i)F ACTRESSES . PRAISES PE-'RmUw-MmI. London.—A woman named Mrs. Carton of Tonbrldge has been through one of the mott terrible ordeals ever known. ijhe rell into a trance after a short illness aud was placed in a coffin in "the belief that she was dead. She lay silent, unable to move or speak, while preparations Tor her funeral were going on all around her. Mrs. Carton's husband, who Is an engine cleaner, was distracted with grief when, a few days ago, he found her apparently dead after a few days' illness. All arrangements were made for the fuueral; a. coffin was brought uud the woman was laid in it. Then, just as the coffin was about to be screwed down. Mr. Carton asked His Wife Was Alive! to be left alone with the body for a moment. He bent over his wife to kiss her for the last time. The cheek on which his lips rested was warm. His wife was alive. The man, dazed with joy and wonder, sent at once for a doctor, who confirmed his hopes. The doctor ordered her to be removed at once to the hospital. Her condition rapidly improved and she is now well on the way to recovery. The woman's story of her experience during the trance is extraordinary. "I knew everything which was go ing on around me," she said, "but I could* not move. I could not even speak when I saw that they thought I was dead." Even when she was put In her coffin and It seemed almost certain that she would be buried alive she was unable to utter a word to save herself. She could not even speak to her husband as he bent over her. Only the touch of his lips on her cheek saved her. 8PENDS NIGHT OF TERROR. Aged and Thinly Clad Woman Wan. ders Into Mountain Wilds. Freeland, Pa.—A terrible experience fell to the lot of Mrs. John Klinger, an aged Freeland woman, who wandered from her home during a driving rainstorm the other evening and spent the night in the mountains. A reselling party, headed by Burgess Hartman, on horseback, followed the footpaths and main roads, and two members of the state constabulary joined the search. The weather was cold and wet, and when the woman disappeared she wore only a light shawl over her house dress. The search was continued all night without finding the woman, who, it was then feared, had fallen into a mine cave. At eight o'clock in the morning the ten-year-old grandson of Mrs. Klinger left his home in Jeddo to attend Sun day school at Freeland. He had no knowledge of his relative's disappearance and was astonished to find her tottering on the railroad tracks near Drlfton. She was then so far exhausted that, a physician had to be summoned and she was conveyed to her home, where she now .lies in a critical condition.

The governor, a friend of his, Col. Antill, two missionaries, the governor's secretary, myself and six armed police from Port Moresby (natives) were the landing party. The natives were extremely excited and jumpy; nervous, one would say. They received us quietly enough, and accepted presents of beads, etc., but when I and two others were in one of the houses, they came and held up a joint of cooked human flesh before me, laughing. It looked horrid and smelt worse. I think it was ribs. "There was also a canoe full of skulls in the river, and many skulls in the houses. We were not attacked, however, and we walked all through the village, saw a general family sleeping house 190 yards long, divided into numberless compartments (the flat system, evidently)—human bodies laid out in the branches of trees to decay, which is their method of burial, and some strange images.

"Do you reckon I could give up all that time to music without falling from grace?" he asked, anxiously. The good old Methodist had a saving uense of humor.

"Are you a married man, sir?" "No," replied the caller, "I am not married." The editor laughed harshly.

Two farmers who met at the County Coort House recently became deeply Interested lb a talk aJboui siockraislng. On comparing notes they found that each owned about the same number of acres and that their profits from stock-raising, dairy products and poultry were about the same. One of these gentlemen was quite puzzled when he learned t h a t although the other man had about tbe same acreage and made almost the same profit as himself, he had only half as many horses, cows, hogs and poultry. He was a bit inclined to doubt the other man's veracity, so h e said: "Look here, my friend, 1 don't see how it is possible for you to equal my profits when I've got more head of stock than you have." "Ah, it's easily enough explained," was the reply; "just put it down to the good health of my stock. That Is the great secret of making poultry and live stock pay the greatest possible profit." "Well, you may be right," said the other man, thoughtfully. "I have often thought that I could get better results If my chickens and cows especial ly, were in better condition, but I concluded t h a t as long as they were not actually dying they would soon pick up and be all right." His companion smiled. "Why," said he, "your own words explain why my stock pays better profits than yours. You are no worse off than a lot of other men we know. They are in the same fix, but there is no excuse for it. You know very well that when you are feeling out of sorts, or ailing, and your meals don't tempt your appetite, you become dispirited, languid, and you can't attend to your work. Then it is you send for the doctor or buy some reliable tonic. Why not consider your poultry and livestock from the same viewpoint? They need a regulator and tonic and good food more than anything else when you wonder why they don't pay you better." "And let me tell you," h e added, "I would just as soon think of doing without water for my poultry and livestock aB I would do without Pratts Animal and Poultry Regulator. That, and that only, Is why they keep in good health and make money for me." The speaker might have explained that Pratts Animal Regulator is used more extensively than any other preparation by American farmers and breeders; that it prevents and cures the common ailments of animals and tones up their whole system. Pratts Poultry Regulator is unquestionably the best preparation that our readers can give to their poultry. It is a guaranteed egg producer and increases the size of fowls, makes little chicks grow quickly, prevents gape, cholera and leg weakness, in a word, it keeps poultry strong, healthy and profitable.

Lovelace, of Muskegon, had been elected g r e a t c o m m a n d e r over J o h n B. Mcllwain. of Port Huron, by 211 to 1.14. Mcllwain then moved that the election be m a d e u n a n i m o u s and declared t h e r e were no "sore spots about him." T h e two c a n d i d a t e s then shook h a n d s . After s o m e discussion it was decided to give Major Boynton, who w a s elected past lieutenant c o m m a n d e r , ft pension of $2,f»00 a y e a r for t h e r e m a i n d e r of his life.

Mrs Daniel Cooper, wife of a r e t i r e d farmer, a d m i n i s t e r e d chloroform to t h e seven sleeping m e m b e r s of t h e family, her six children and her h u s b a n d , and then shot t h e m t h r o u g h t h e h e a d , o n e after a n o t h e r , finishing h e r awful work by s e n d i n g a bullet t h r o u g h h e r own brain.

H e was t a k e n to the hospital in a seemingly dying condition. After reviving a little a t a b o u t t h e noon hour he said: "Mother did it."

" How r e m a r k a b l e is his vitality and how slim his chance will be understood from a s t a t e m e n t a s to ihe nat u r e of his wound. His m o t h e r held the deadly pistol so close to his right Cheek that the flesh is powderscorched. The bullet passed u p w a r d t h r o u g h his head and e m e r g e d high in the back of the skull, c u r r y i n g away a small piece of bone with it. If a boy can live with a hole t h r o u g h his brain, this hoy can live. He is big and s t r o n g for his years, a typical farm boy, and It is said that lie was in perfect health. Mr, Cooper has been in poor h e a l t h for several m o n t h s and was unable to work, a n d though the oldest boy, Fred. worked steadily and their farm yielded them a c o n s i d e r a b l e income, they were. not in the best of c i r c u m s t a n c e s financially. This, coupled with the fact that Mrs. Cooper was very morbid and excitable, leads to the belief that worry over her family m i s f o r t u n e s temporarily d e r a n g e d her mind. When her baby, Florence, was born a year and a half ago, Mrs. Cooper w a s out of h e r mind and she often blamed her last born as the c a u s e of all her sor rows a n d m a n y t i m e s had t h r e a t e n e d to kill ih<} child and herself and fain ily. C o r o n e r Ralston feels c e r t a i n that the deed had been p l a n n e d by Mrs Cooper for several weeks, a s she inquired not long ago as to w h e t h e r or not h e r beneficiaries would s e c u r e the life i n s u r a n c e she carried if she should commit suicide.

"Oh, Mr. Wilton, you'll pardon my boldness, I'm sure," she said with an amiable flirt of the head, as I seated myself beside her and watched Luella melt away into the next room; "but I was afraid you had forgotten all about us poor women, and it's a dreadful thing to be in this great house when there isn't a man about, though of courBe there are the servants, but you can't count them as men, besides gome of them being Chinamen. And we—I—that is, I really did want to see you, and we ought to have so much to talk over, for I've heard that your mother's first cousin was a Bowser, and I do so want to see that dear, delightful Chinatown that I've heard so much about, though they do say it's horrid and dirty, but you'll let us see that for ourselves, won't you, and did you ever go through Chinatown, Mr. Wilton?" Mrs. Bowser pulled up her verbal coaeh-ahd-six so suddenly that I felt as though she must have been pitched off the box. "Oh," said I carelessly, 'I've seen the place often enough." "How nice!" Then suddenly look ing grave Mrs. Bowser spoke from behind her fan. "But I hope, Mr. Wilton, there's nothing there that a lady shouldn't see." I hastened to assure her that it was possible to avoid everything that would bring a blush to the cheek of a matron of her years. Mrs. Bowser at this rattled on without coming to any point. I was listening to the flow of her high-pitched voice without getting any idea from it, when my wandering attention was suddenly recalled by the words, "Mr. Knapp." "What was that?" I asked in some confusion. "I didn't catch your meaning." "I was saying T thought it strange Mr. Knapp wouldn't go with us, and he got awfully cross when I pressed him, and said—oh, Mr. Wilton, he said such a dreadful word—that he'd be everlastingly somethinged if he would ever go into such a lot of dens of—oh, I can't repeat his dreadful language —but wasn't it strange, Mr. Wilton?" "Very," I said diplomatically; "but It isn't worth while to wait for him, then." "Oh, laws, no!—he'll be home tomorrow, but he won't go.". "Home to-morrow!" I exclaimed. "I thought he wasn't to come till Wednesday " Mrs. Bowser looked a littlo uncomfortable. "I guess he's old enough to eomo and go when he likes." she said. But her flow of words seemed to desert her. "Very true," I admitted. "T wonder what's bringing him back in such a hurry." Mrs. Bowser's beady eyes turned on mt la doubt, and for a moment she w t s dumb. Then she followed this miracle bar another, and spoke In a low tone pt vqloe. , "It's not lor me to say anything against a man in his own house, but I don't like to talk ofrDod4ridge Knapp." "What's the matter?" I aaked. "A little rough in his speech? Oh, Mrs. Bowser, you should make allowances for a man who haa had to tt.bt his way in the roughest business life In the world, uud not expect too much of his poliah." "Oh, laws, he's polite enough," whispered Mrs. Bowser. "It isn't that —oh, I don't see how ahe ever married him." 1 followed the glance that Mrs, Bowaer gave on interrupting herself with this declaration, and uaw Mrs. Knapp approaching us. "Oh," she exclaimed cheerily, "la it settled? Have you made all the arrangements, Cousin Julia?" "Well, I declare! I'd forgotten all about telling him," cried Mrs. Bowser in her shrillest tone. "I'd just taken It for a fact that he'd know when to come." "That's a little too much to expect, I'm afraid," said Mrs. Knapp, mailing gaily at Mrs. Bowser's management. "I see that I shall have to arrange this thing myself. Will Monday night ault you, Henry?" "Aa well aa another," said I politely, concealing my feelings as a victim of feminine diplomacy. "You have told him who are going, haven't you?" aaid Mrs. Knapp, to Mrs. Bowaer. "Laws, no! I never thought but that he knew." "Oh!" exclaimed Mrs. Knapp. "What a gift as a mindreader Mr. Wilton ought to havel Well, I suppose I'd better not trust to that Henry. There's to be Mrs. Bowser, of course, and Mr. and Mrs. Carter, and Mr. Horton, and—oh, yes—Luella." My heart gave a jump, and the trip to Chinatown suddenly became an object of interest. "I mama?" said an inquiring voice, and Luella herself stood by her mother. "Yes," said Mrs. Knapp. "It's the Chinatown expedition for Monday night." Luella looked annoyed, and tapped her foot to the floor Impatiently. "With Mr. Wilton," there was the slightest emphasis on the words, "to accompany the party, I shouldn't think it would be necessary for me to go." "It is either you or l / ' aaid Mrs. Knapp. "You will be needed to protect Mr. Horton," said I sarcastically. "Oh, what a task!" she said gaily. "I shall be ready." And she turned away before I could put In another word, and I walked down the room with Mrs. Knapp. "And so Mr. Knapp is coming home to-morrow?" I said. Mrs. Knapp gave me a quick look. "Yes," she said. There was something in her tone that set me to thinking that there was more than I knew behind Mr. Knapp's sudden return. "I hope he is not ill," I said politely. "I think you will find him all right when you see him. But here—you must meet Mr. and Mrs. Carter. They are just from the East, and very charming people, and as you are to do them the honors on Monday evening, you should know them." Mr. and Mrs. Carter had pleasant faces and few ideas, and as the conversational fire soon burned low I somight Mrs. Knapp and took my leave. Luella was nowhere to be seen. "You must be sure that you are well guarded," said Mrs. Knapp. "It quite gives me the terrors to think of those murderous fellows. And since you told me of that last plot to call you down to Borton's, I have a presentiment that some special danger is ahead of you. Be cautious as well as brave." I thanked her as she pressed my hand, and, with no Luella awaiting me by the stair, I took my way down the stone steps, between the bronze lions, and joined Porter and Barkhouse on the sidewalk. CHAPTER X V I . An Echo of Warning. "AH quiet?" I asked of my guards, as we took cmr way down the street. "Dicky Nahl was along here," said Porter, "and he said Terrill and Meeker and the other gang was holding a powwow at Borton's. and we'd best lock out for suri ses." "Was that all?" "Well, he said he guessed there was a new deal on hand, and they was ahuzzin* like a nest, of hornets." "Well," said I, "we had better go down to Borton's and look into this matter." There was silence for a time. My guards walked beside me without speaking, but I felt, the protest in their manner. At last Barkhouse said respectfully : "There's no use to do that, sir. You'd bettrr send some one that ain't so likely to be nabbed, or that won't matter much if he is. We'd be in a prettyfix if you was to be took." "Here comes Dicky now," said Portrr, as a dark figure came swinging lightly along. "Hullo!" cried Dicky, halting and shad loft bis eyes from the gaslight. "I was just going up to look for you again." "What's up, Dicky?" "I guess it's the devil," said Dicky, HO gravely that I broke into H laugh "He's right at home if he's come to this town," 1 said. "I'm glad you find it so funny," aaid TMcVy i n a n Injured t o n e " V o n w a u scared enough last time." "Well, I've kept out of his claws this far, affd it's no uBe to worry. What's he trying to do now?" "That's what I've beeu tryiug to find out all the evening. They're uolay enough, but they're too thick to let one get near where there's anything going on—that is. If he ha a a fancy for keeping a whole skin." "Suppose we go down there now," I suggested. "We might hud out something." Dicky stopped short. "Caesar's ghost!" he gasped; "what next? Wouldn't you like to touch off a few powder-kegs for amusement? Won't you Are a pistol into your mouth to show how easy you can stop the bullet?" "Why, you have been down there and are all right," I argued. "Well, there nothing much to happen to me, but where would you be if they got.hold of you? You're getting off your cabesa, old fellow," aaid Dicky anxiously. "If I could aee Mother Borton I would fix it," I aaid confidently. "What! That she-devil?" cried Dicky. "She'd give you up to have your throat cut in a minute if she could get a four-bit piece for your carcass. I guess ahe could get more than that on you, too." Mother Borton's warnings against Dicky Nahi returned to me with force at this expression of esteem from the young man, and I was filled with doubts. "I came up to tell you to look out for yourself," continued Dicky. "I'm 'nemos saeravjazuray TOOT A au&* afraid they mean mischief, and here you come with a wild scheme for getting into the thick of it." "Well, I'll ^hink better of it," 1 said. "But se</ jif you can find out what is going*tin. Come up and let me know if you get an inkling of their plants." "All right," said Dicky. "But just sleep on a hair-trigger to-night." "Good-night," I said, as I turned toward my room, and Dicky, with an answering word, took his way toward the Borton place. I had grown used to the silent terrors of my house. But as we stumbled up the stairway the apprehensions of Dicky Nahl came strong upon me. and I looked ahead to the murky halls, arid glanced at everyway as though I expected an ambush. Porter and Barkhouse marched stolidly along, showing little disposition to talk. "What's that?" I exclaimed, stopping to listen. "What was it?" asked Barkhouse, as we stopped on the upper landing and gazed into the obscurity. "I thought l heard a noise," said I. "Who's there?" "It was a rat," said Porter. "I've heard 'em out here of nights." "Well, just light that other gas jet," I said. "It will help to make things pleasant in case of accidents." The doors came out of the darkness as the second jet blazed up, but nothing else was to be seen. Suddenly there was a scramhle, and something sprang up before my door. Porter and I raised the revolvers that were ready in our hands, but Barkhouse spring past us, and in an instant had closed with the figure and held it in his arms. There was a volley of curses, oaths mingled with sounds that reminded me of nothing so much as a spitting cat, and a familiar voice screamed in almost inarticulate rage: "Let me go, damn, ye, or I'll knife y e ! " "Qood heavens!" I cried. "Let her go, Barkhouse. It's Mother Borton." Mother Borton freed herself with a vicious shake, and called down the wrath of Heaven and hell on the stalwart guard. "You're the black-hearted spawn of the sewer rats, to take a respectable woman like a pag of meal," oxUW Mother Borton .indignantly, with % fresh strUig of oaths. "It's fire and brimstone you'll be tasting yet, and you'd' 'a' tneen there before now, you mkierabk? gutter-picker, it it wasn't for me. And this is the thanks 1 git from ye!" "Come in," I aaid, unlocking the door and lighting up my room. • "You can be as angry as you like in here, and it won't hurt anything." Mother Borton stormed a bit, and then sullenly walked in and took a chair. Silence fell on her aa she crossed the threshold, but she glower ered on us with fierce eyea. "it's quite an agreeaole surprise to aee you," I ventured aa cheerfully as I could, aa she made no move to apeak. My followers looked awkward and uncomfortable. At the sound of my voice, Mother Borton's bent brows relaxed a little. "If you'd send these fellows out, I reckon we could talk a bit better," she said sourly. "Certainly. Just wait In the hall, boys; and close the door." Porter and Barkhouse ambled out, and Mother Borton gave her chair a hitch that brought us face to face. "I reckon you don't think I come on a visit of perliteness?" she said sharply after a brief silence. I murmured something about being glad to entertain her at any time. "Nonsense!" she sniffed. "I'm a vile old woman that the likes of you would never put eyea on twice if it wasn't for your business—none knows it better than me. I don't know why I should put myself out to help ye." Her tone had a touch of pathos under its hardness. "I kn#w why," I said, a little touched. "It's because you like me," She turned a softened eye on me. "You're right," she said almost tenderly, with a flash of womanly feeling on her seamed and evil face. "I've took a fancy to ye and no mistake, and I'd risk something to help ye." "I knew you would," I said heartily. "And that's what I come to do," she said with a sparkle of pleasure in her eye. "I've come to warn ye." "New dangers?" I inquired cheerfully. My prudence suggested that I had better omit any mention of the warning from Dicky Nal I. "The same ones," said Mother Borton shortly, "only more of 'em." "What is the latest. plotT' I asked gravely, as I fancied that my light manner grated on my strange guest. "I don't know," she said slowly. "But you know something," I argued. "Maybe you know what I know better than I knows it myself," growled Mother Borton with a significant glance. I resigned myself to await her humor. "Not at all," said I carelessly. "I only know that you've come to tell me something, and that you'll tell it in your own good time." "It's fine to see that you've learned not to drive a woman." she returned with grim irony. "It's something to know at your age." I smiled sympathetically upon her, and she continued: "I might as well tell ye the whole of it, though I reckon my throat's as like to be slit over it as not." 'Til never breathe a word of it," I replied fervently. (TO B E CONTINUED.- ) W A N T E D NO MORE SISTERS. M I G H T Y C T m C P B M U A D E 0 . t One Girt Had Had Enough of Censorious Remarks. "I didn't think you'd get so angry because I said I thought you ought to wear gray suede shoes with your gray dress instead of white ones. I didn't mean to offend you," her friend very sweetly apologized. "Never mind," she returned softly. "It was all right, but it made me angry for two reasons. First, because I had to wear the white shoes because I didn't hava any others that were presentable, and, secondly, because when I left my family of sisters, who made every possible sort of comment on my clothes, I declared I would never stand it. from anybody else. I said to myself that whenever a friend got so friendly that she thought she could treat me Hk# a sister I'd shake her." The Ferocious Mascalonge. In the bed of a dralned-off lake was found the skull of a mascalonge with a swan's skull inside of it, and tho teeth were locked in the bone, showing that the strong, powerful bird had been attacked during a time when Its head was under water, and possibly in the fierce battle that must have ensued each combatant drowned the other. The fish was supposed to have been about TO pounds in weight. Another cane on record is that of a fivepound fish being found dead, apparently choked by the partly swallowed body of another fish of three pounds. So voracious is the mascalonge that it will devour any living thing that comes within its vision. Full-grown bullfrogs, food sized ducklings, small aquatic birds, as well as many water mammalc, become an easy prey to its yawning, sepulcher of a mouth.—Metropolitan Magazine.

Yours for Aug. 1908, Goo, W. Sykes. Nature has provided the stomach with certain natural fluids known as the digestive juices, and it is through these juices that the food we eat is acted upon in such a way as to produce the rich red blood that flews through the veins of our body and and thereby makes us strong, healthy and robust and it, is the weakening of these digestive juices that destroys health. It is our own fault if we destroy our own health and yet it is so easy for any one to put the stomach out of order. When yon need to take something take it promptly, but take something yon know is reliable—some thing like Kodol for dyspepsia and Indigestion.

The church was filled,1 many finding seats in the gallery and before the close of the urogram the vestibule was filled with those standing. Much interest wa* manifested < in the work ot the young people and; they did their part well. The quartet of young ladies, as well as one of young men was a pleasing addition to the program. In fact everything went off nicely even to the collection, which amounted to $10. Owing to the lateness of the hour after the childrens day program there was no session of the Sunday school. There was a tarely good attendance at the evening service and a splendid sermon—yen should have heard it.

THE RECKLESSNESS OF KNEELAND By WILUAM R. STEWART j (Copyi Fireman Kneeland, new recruit In Huok and Ladder Company No. ti, was la an unpleasant humor. His asboclateh had been chaffing him all morning, and he resented the rough handling. "Youse Tellers think because I'm from the wubt and ain't Irish 1 don't know the game,'' he aaid finally. "Well, I'd like to see the man ut yer who c'd teach me." Then he started to walk off. But Burke called after him: *' 'Taint that, but yer too blamed aerioub. Th' idea of a fireman givin' up a rescue to a policeman! Why, that cop'll report he saved the girl. and get a medal and promotion. Might have kept them "la tHe department." "Cop said (fee wournn wu his wife." "Wife, nothing! Guess he saw you were only a probationer and easy. Just watch the papers in the inorping mud see who did the rescue act. You've no sense of humor, khat'a "the trouble:" Kneeland had no humor, that was a fact. Or, if he had, it was subordinated to a seriousness which made him unpopular with his fellows. With them work, too, was work, but also play was play. And Kneeland never played. "That fellow's got something on his mind," said Burke, when the flew fireman had left them and shambled up the stationhouse stairs to the bleeping quarters. "He's good stuff, all right, but I don't like his style." When the alarm fo- Are jangled out In Station No. 6 at 12 o'clock that night a bad-tempered lot of men slid down the brass poles and clambered aboard the truck. It had been the second time they had been disturbed within an hour, and the hard work of the morning had left thent needful of rest. As the truck drew up at the edge of the black belch of engines the crews were already dragging lines of hose into the burning tenement. From the third and fourth story windows a pall of smoke was blackening the night, lit at intervals by choked tongues of flame. On the fire-escapes appeared, momentarily, figures in night-clothes; then, told that the low- •er part was ettll safe, disappeared in- •to the rooms and rushed down the stairways. Groping their way in the choke and smother, striking blindly with only the feel of the place to guide, the •ook-and-ladder crew cut their way through doors and partitions, making "In the Forefront of All Was Kneeland." Hmoke-ventf? to bring the fire into the open, where the men from the engines could attack it. In the forefront, of fill was Kneeland. Not the captain, with a life's training behind htan, nor Burke nor Casey, veterans both, wielded ax and bar with greater effect. The excitement of the fight was in his blood; it. took hold of him aa the spirit of carnage Heizes the soldier in a deathgrapple at close quarters. The men of an engine company had worked their way to the fourth floor, and were playing their hose on the flames which licked up through the ceiling. "Open the windows at. the front," the captain ordered. Kneeland was the first to make his way through the rooms and reach the Hide of the building facing the street.. The fumes of the drowning fire were suffocating, and he was half dizzy. The shouted orders from without, the panting engines, the low grumble of the flames overhead, and the battering of the streams of water against. the woodwork dinned confusedly in his ears. With his ax he chopped down a hurniin'; window fr*me, and it fell out into the street. Ho turned to attack auother, and the smoke-grimed helmet of a police man confronted aim. The face underneath was scorched and blackened, but Kueelaud remembered it from the morning. The policeman stag gered toward him. "There's a woman uut there," he said, pointing toward a window overhead. "Save her; I'm all in." He leaued against the wall, catching bis breath in gasps. Kneeland looked at him. The policeman gave no sign of recognition. For a moment in the mind of the fireman a sinister purpose arose. The ruck of the tight with the flames had passed beyond them. From the stairway he heard the captain's voice of command The battle spirit possessed the new fireman in all its madness. The fierce satisfaction of fight In the open was upon him. That was why he had joined the department—to cut and hack and smite, and do it with all the sanction of law. Thus would he vent some of his grudge against the world—the world which had been treacherous to him, aud then hedged him in with conventions which made redress impossible. The phantom figure of a woman stood out, as so often it did in his inflamed mind from the smoke and the steam; of a woman who had wronged him grievously. And there was another—the policeman. He took a step nearer. "You—save her," he hissed, and the sound of his voice Bounded strange even to himself, "save her, and get the glory. That's your graft. Come, I'll help ye." And he caught the policeman by the arm. There was that about the fireman which frightened the man. With his recovered strength he resisted the movement toward the window. But the strength of ten men seemed Kneeland's. As the two forms staggered into the indistinct light from the street, firemen outside were raising a ladder to an upper floor. Slowly it warped upward, then rested on a ledge of an opposite side, and a man carrying a hose In his hand ran quickly up. Across the area-way the forms of two men met his view. One, in police man's uniform, seemed struggling back from the window; the other, a fireman, urged him forward. They locked in an embrace, and the fireman threw the other across the sill. A stream of water, hard as rubber, smote Kneeland full in the chest and rolled him against the wall. The fireman on the ladder had turned his hose on the strugglers. Choking and battered by the deluge which threshed in upon them, Kneeland caught at the sill. In the moment he had been at the window the feet and skirts of a woman hanging from the ledge above had met his vision. The instincts of the fire-fighter were once more supreme. "The woman!" he called, panting, to the policeman. "Quick, help me!" The stream of water had ceased to pour through the window. The fireman on the ladder also had seen the woman and had turned his hose into the room, from the ledge of which the woman clung desperately by her hands to escape the suffocation of smoke and flames. Kneeland thrust a leg out of the window. "Hold this one," he shouted to the policeman, kicking the other against the floor to help the words. "Now, yer arm around my waist, steady!" As the policeman took hold of him he felt, the fireman suddenly relax in his grasp. He saw Kneeland look up at the woman with staring eyes, mouth opened. He heard him mutter a name; then seem to sink away from him, as though he would slide back into the shelter of the window. : Suddenly the fireman became rigid once more as a steel bar. The opened mouth closed tightly over the snapping teeth. In a voice low and hoarse, but steady, he gave the directions. "Let go," he called to the figure overhead, "I'll cntch yer." The policeman felt, the body he held sway outward with the sudden impact. His muscles strained, as they gripped at. the waist which hent. over till it wan level with the ledge, but the muscles of the hreman seemed of Iron. For a few terrible seconds the forms hung over the area, and in the grim strain of the bodies, eves grew bloodshot aud the faces distorted with swollen veins. Then, slowly the fireman aud his charge gained back to the ledge, clutched it, aud rolled into the room. Clouds of tsmoke still poured through the gutted tenement, but the fire's headway was checked. From the floors overhead the men of the hook-and ladder truck, their Wprk there dune, came straggling down the stairway. "Where's Kueeland?" the captain asked, aud the next mometit 1¾ saw the three at the window. "Hello!" But the voice did not reach the fireman. They lifted him unconscious, and took him away to the hospital. The woman and the policeman followed downstairs and both spoke with the captain. "Mother o' Moses!" exclaimed the latter. "You'll—you'll—" but the woman shook her head and went away. "Guess it'll be ours to off our hats to Kneeland when he gets back, sociable or no sociable," said Burke on the ride home. "I always gave him credit for havin' the right sort o' stuff, anyhow. An' that cop chap was the same as claimed his rescue in the morning. S'pose he was goin' ter try the same game again." "Yer wrong," said the captain, "he was after a chance to redeem himself. Sergeant was down on him, an' he wasn't gettin' any show on the force —leastwise he thought so—an' that was why he tried to steal the credit. He was sorry afterward." "An' the woman this last time, the one ye were talkln' with?" "She was Kneeland's wife—once," said the captain. BEFORE MARRIAGE.

After marriage he goes on his knees and swears never to marry again should he become a widower. Bazar Attracts Attention. The suffragette bazar in London has attracted many visitors to see a model of a Itolloway jail cell, which Is faithful in all details, even to the prisoner in correct prison uniform. The object of this fair was not only to raise money, but to prove to the general public that the suffragettes who agitate are a3 capable needlewomen, cooks, artists and dressmakers as their sister women. All the articles sold were the work of the suffragettes and their sympathisers. China, to Aim at &•« Power. The Chinese government intends to purchase, immediately, 40 torpedo boats and four gunboats. For the reorganization of the navy and the purchase of new ships and guns various nations actively competed, and the report states that the orders will probably be divided among representatives from Great Britain, Germany and Japan.

In New Zealand everybody is bourn: by Jaw to take a weekly half-holiday and there must be no shirking the ob ligation.

Henderson, 138 Broad St., Stamford; Conn., March 6 and 12, 1907." A Bare Possibility. In his diary, which is incorporated in the "Life and Letters of. Sir Richard Claverhouse Jebb," the great Greek scholar recorded a flash of his own wit which is of a most appealing variety. At a dinner at Cambridge Sir Richard, then Mr. Jebb, took in a young woman, who got through the first course with little conversation. Suddenly she startled him by saying, in the most unprovoked way. while she was still dining with apparent good appetite: "Prof. Jebb. do you think women ever die of a broken heart ?" ..."Perhaps other organs may have something to do with it," he proffered in reply.—Youth's Companion.

Owing to the prevalence of pneuh noonitt and the great mortality which attends its lavages durlug the wluler and spring, several boards of health in northern Mew Jersey have been taking measures to protect the citizens of their towns from the disease. The health board of Washington, N. J , has published a remedy which ia said to be a sure cure for pneumonia, and other health boards are looking into the matter with a view of having the same thing published for the good of the general public. This la the publication as it has appeared in the papers of Washington: "Take six or ten unions, according to size, and chop fine, put in a large spider over a hot Are, then add the same quantity of rye meal and vinegar enough to form a thick paste. In the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, letting it simmer five or ten minutes. Then put in a cotton has large enough to eover the lungs and apply to chest as hot as patient can bear, in about ten minutes apply another, and thus continue by reheating the poultices, and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This simple remedy has never failed to cure this too-often fatal malady. Usually three or four applications will be sufficient, but continue always until the perspiration starts freely from the chest.

The long parade passed through a gantlet of tens of thousands, and salvos in their honor at times drowned the cadence of the musicians. It was a splendid parade, sublime in a way, but cheery, and it showed that there is yet much life left in the thinning ranks of the Boys in lilue. fcVrhaps it is the last big pa raiie of the erond army in Michip.au.

The petitions of Attorneys George R. Fox and John Golden, counsel for Mrs. Elizabeth Harnett, charged with the murder of Oscar Peterson, the Swede who was found buried in the swamp near Mrs. Barnett's shanty in a thicket near Saginaw bay, was read in circuit court Wednesday. Assistant Prosecutor McCormick said the attorneys would be admitted to see Mrs. Barnett as soon as they established that they were her regularly selected counsel. This they did and were admitted to the jail. It is thought that they will make the defense on the plea that Peterson died a natural death while admitting Mrs. Rartnett's indiscretion in burying or allowing to be buried the body of Peterson without notifying the authorities. They will endeavor to show that the fortune teller feared she would he charged with his death, ami therefore (foncealed the burial proceeding, telling that Peterson had gone to Swenden.

With Lighthouse Keeper George Genery missing and his assistant E. S. Morrison, of Detroit, thought to be the man found dead in a sailboat at the eastern end of the Pictured rocks Saturday, has developed a mystery that thus far has baffled the Alger county authorities. That a tragedy has been enacted is surmised for the reason that the dead man's head and shoulders were fearfully crushed, as if battered with a club. Genery was stationed at the extreme northern end of Grand island, and in- Fire destroyed the Keller hotel v e 8 t l8&tlon shows that his light has not been burning for at least a week. Science will never make wars impossible, because science can never limit, the ingenuity and knowledge of men to a single channel. The defensive will ever keep pace with the offensive, and destructiveness will sooner or later carry its own antidote. When men's hearts are cleansed and purified, when peace becomes the ideal of heroism and courage, then and then only will warR cease upon the earth, declares the Philadelphia Ledger. And the same humane influences can be depended upon, In all probability, to prove the falsity of the dismal predictions of the fata] trend of commercial progress. Hi« Fourth Murder. George A.

TAFT AS PRESIDENT; SHERMAN FOR MA TE, IS REPUBLICAN SLA TE Convention at Chicago Selects Na» tional Ticket and Adjourns-Wild Enthusiasm on Nomination of Ohioan—Demonstration for Theodore Roosevelt Chicago. — Taft and Sherman. This is the ticket of the Republican party flung to t h e breese Friday a s the Republican national conrent ion concluded with t h e nomination of J a m e s S. S h e r m a n of N e w York for vice-president amid a final roar of tumultuous demonstration. Scene of Wild Bnthuaiaem. The picture within the walls of the TMt amphitheater as the presidential candidate was named Thursday was o n e truly gradioee In its magnitude. In front, to the right and left, below a n d above, the billowing sea of humanity, restless after hours of waiting and stirred from one emotion to another, was In a fever of expectancy for the culminating vote. The favorite eons of other states had been named, 'save Knox and La Follette, and how on the roll call came Ohio. *is tfte Buckeye state was reached, the tall, gaunt form of Theodore K. Burton, with student-Hke face and severe black clerical garb, advanced to the platform to nominate Ohio's candidate. He spoke fervently, with the singing voice of an evangelist, which went ringing through the great building. T h e cloee of his speech of nomination w a s the signal for loosing t h e long pent-up feeling of the Taft legions. Instantly the Ohio delegates were on their feet, other Taft states following, while the convention hosts, in gallery and on floor, broke into mad demonstration. For 10, 15, 20 minutes, this uproar continued. At last the tired voices died down to a hoarse shout, and subsided. Seconded by Knight. This lull now gave the opportunity for the speech seconding Taft's nomination, by George H. Knight of California, his big, round face bearding forth on t h e s y m p a t h e t i c m u l t i t u d e , and h i s splendid b a r i t o n e voice welling forth like t h e tones of n g r e a t c h u r c h o r g a n .

Now t h e r e w a s a n o t h e r lull In t h e Taft m o v e m e n t , w h i l e t h e r e m a i n i n g c a n d i d a t e s w e r e placed in n o m i n a t i o n .

A h u s h of e x p e c t a n c y h u n g over the a s s e m b l y a s t h e call proceeded. H a s t y summaries showed t h a t Taft w a s far in advance. When New York was reached the Taft column totaled 427. Ohio carried the Taft total to 511, or 20 more than enough to nominate. Still the call went on until the final result was announced by Chairman Lodge: "Fpr Theodore Roosevelt, 3 v o t e s ; for Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio 16 votes; fur Charles W. Fairbanks of 11. iana, 40 votes; for Joseph Cannon of Illinois, 81 votes; for Robert La Follette of Wisconsin, 25 votes; for Charles E. Hughes of New York, 63 votes; for Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvania. 68 votes, and William H. Taft of Ohio, 702 votes. A great shout went up as Lodge concluded his announcement, and with one accord the cohorts of Cannon and Knox and Hughes and the other heroes, joined In a common tribute for the candlate of the party. Sherman for Second Place. The nomination for the vice-presidency was not made until Friday. When the convention adjourned for the day Thursday the situation regarding second place on the ticket, was dectdedly unsettled, but before the delegates m e t Friday an arrangement had been perfected for t h e Taft delegates to support Representative James S. Sherman of N e w York a s the running mate of the secretary of w a r . Three n a m e s were placed In nomination when the chairman announced that nominations were in order. Sherman was named as N e w York's choice by Tim Woodruff, former lieutenant governor of the state; Oov. Curtis Guild of Massachusetts w a s placed in nomination by Senator Lodge, and Ex- Gov. Franklin Murphy of New Jersey was named by Thomas N. McCarter. S e v e r a l brief s e c o n d i n g s p e e c h e s were m a d e for each candidate. When the roll call w a s begun it was soon seen t h a t S h e r m a n w a s t h e popular choice of the d e l e g a t e s .

T h e second day of t h e Republican national convention brought the longexpected Roosevelt yell, a whirlwind of enthusiasm which raged within the vast amphitheater of the Coliseum for full 45 minutes Wednesday, a n d for a time presented to the timid the specter of a Roosevelt stampede. This demonstration w a s decidedly the feature of a day otherwise notable for a stirring speech from the permanent chairman of the convention. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Masaachue t U . Mr. Lodge early In his address launched his sentence which electrified the assemblage into its first real demonstration of wild enthusiasm. "The president," exclaimed Mr. Lodge, "'Is the best abused and most popular man In the United States today." This w a s the long awaited signal. InBtantly a shout broke from the galleries and w a s echoed back from the floor, at first only a tempest of detached yells, and cat-calls, and shouts of "Teddy," but gradually gathering force and volume until it swelled to a whirlwind of sound and motion, as delegates and spectators rose en masse, mounting chairs, waving banner*, hats, handkerchiefs, flags, newspapers, anything which could be seised upon to add turbulence to the scene. oooooooooooooooooooooooooo PLATFORM AT A QLANCE. Rooaevslt— The abuse of wealth, the tyranny of power, and the evils of privilege and favoritism have been put to acorn by him. We pledge a continuance of the Roosevelt policies. Anti-Injunction— The Republican party will uphold the authority of the courts, but believes the rules of procedure In federal courts with respect to Injunctions should be more accurately defined by statute, and that no injunction should be iwniod without notice. Labor— The same wise policy will be pursued to lighten the burdens of all who toll. Tariff— The Republican party declares for a revision of tariff by a special session of congress. We favor the establishment of maximum and minimum rates. Money— An expundin* commerce . . . and increasing crop movements disclose the need of a more elastic and adaptable system. T r u s t s — The jrovornment should have greater supervision over corporations engaged in interstate commerce. Inland W a t e r w a y s — We call for a larare and comprehensive plan to Imprnvp the waterways, hnrbora. and Rreat lakea. Army and Navy— While the American people do not desire and will not provoke a war with any other country, we nevertheless declare our devotion to a policy which will keep this republic ready at all times to defend her traditional doctrines.

In large dairy stables it ia always advisable to have small gates or doors h u a g in alley ways to prevent the s t o c k from going where they are not wanted when being stabled. If such A Gate for Cow Stable. g a t e s are closed at the proper time considerable disturbance can be averted. I have seen various kinds of g a t e s used, but the one pictured is by far the beat. Instead of swinging upward and bei n g hooked to the ceiling or a joist overhead as some do, it slides back a n d forth upon a length of gas pipe s e r v i n g as a track, by means of iron straps attached to the long pieces that c o m p o s e the outer ends of the gate. T h e g a s pipe should be at least two i n c h e s through and iu length twice the width of the gate. The gate should be made to fit the place where needed, a n d can be constructed of any strong, light lumber. If the feed room is in e s s y reach of the stable, s a y s Farm and Home, the alley leading to it should by all means b e protected by one of t h e s e gates. In case of a cow g e t t i n g loose in the night, as c o w s frequently will, it might be the means of saving her life troau eating too much grain. _ D A I R Y DOINGS. Do not try to milk a cow by squeezing her horns. Always do your milking at the udder end. A good feed for young calves is ten pounds blood meal, five pounds bone meal and 20 pounds each of oil meal, oatmeal and cornmeal. To make a dairy herd profitable the feed is only half. The method and regularity of oare with the comfort of the animals is of equal if not of greater Importance. When butter does not come the difficulty is usually due to one of two things. Either the cream is not sour enough, or its temperature is too low. If you have a good churn you can usually make butter in half an hour if these two points are right. Two pounds of milk can be produced by the aid of silage as a dairy feed, where on any other system which does not include fresh pasture one pound would be the limit. Care must be used in feeding silage, but the difficulty is not so much with the silage as with sour and spoiled remnants left in feeding utensils. The best ration for a dry cow la corn silage and alfalfa, and when she becomes fresh c o n t i n u e to feed t h e s e with s^x or eight, p,:--- \ s .-.f grain dally. W H A T 18 YOUR COW W O R T H 1 Take Time to Figuro Out Her ValiM to Ycu. Soiling Cows. This term is one not very widely understood. It refers to keeping the c o w s on a small area and cutting and bringing their food to them, instead of permitting them to run in the pasture. The advantage of this system is that it gets the greatest possible amount of feed from an acre of land. The c o w s do not h a v e the chance to trample out much of the herbage. Its great disadvantage is that it is laborious and t h e cost for h e l p is great. In this c o u n t r y it ha« not y e t b e e n extensively p r a c t i c e d b e c a u s e land h a s been c h e a p and labor high. In E u r o p e w h e r e land has b e e n high in price and labor low, the soiling s y s t e m h a s been extensively practiced. By it t h e farmer loses what, is so i m p o r t a n t now in this c o u n t r y , t h e s a v i n g of h a v i n g his g r a s s crop h a r v e s t e r ! by t h e a n i m a l s t h e m s e l v e s . Bloody Milk. W i t h bloody milk, it. is a good, plan in c a s e s of t h i s sort to milk the cow hefore t h e u d d e r b e c o m e s too full of milk or too d i s t e n d e d . Ho this even if it is n e c e s s a r y to milk t h r e e or four t i m e s a day. It is also r e c o m m e n d e d to give internally a tahlespoonful of a m i x t u r e of powdered s u l p h a t e a{ iron, [our o u n c e s ; g r a n u l a t e d sugar, erne p o u n d ; mix t h e s e well t o g e t h e r ami give one tahlespoonful of the m i x t u r e once a day. If the u d d e r s e e m s to be much inflame.] b a t h e it with w a r m w a t e r for a few m i n u t e s at a time every time you milk. We wish we could get every farmer and every farmer's son to take a day off and figure out what bis cow ia worth. That, of course, depend* on what yon-fcaTe I n v i e w in keeping her, what work you expect her to do. If you are milking her and she gives 140 pounds or leas of butter fat, it is very eaay to determine what **he 1« worth for that purpose. On lands in the corn belt it will coat from $28 to | 3 S to keep a cow during the year. lit she does not give more than that value a butter fat, then for daily purposes she is not worth a nickel. We give the cost as above, b e c a u s e w e notice that in the cow c e n s u s e s that h a v e been taken that ia the estimated price given by their keepers. A cow not worth a nickel for dairy purposes had best be allowed to raise her calf; and then the question U whether that calf at w e a n i n g . t i m e will be worth $30. Ordinarily it will be worth from $10 to $15. Therefore the question whether it pays to keep an average cow for the chance of an average calf on lands In the corn belt is easily determined. Suppose, however, s h e g i v e s 200 pounds of butter fat and it is worth one year with another 20 cents a pound. Then your cow is making you a profit In b u t t e r fat of about ten dollars a year and giving you a calf, which, after deducting the cost of feeding it until it is six months old, Is worth $10 to $12. Then you have t h e skim-milk, say 4,000 pounds, worth from 15 to 20 cents per 100 pounds, dep e n d i n g on t h e p r i c e of corn, or from six to ten dollars. You will have the manure, which if properly cared for is worth six dollars a year. If your cow g i v e s a still larger amount of butter fat than this you can very easily estimate the profit. What we are aiming at now, s a y s Wallace's Farmer, is to get farmers to thinking about this question: What is your cow worth? How are you to find out? Why, there is only one way; and that is to take time to weigh the milk often enough to determine how much each cow gives during the year, and then test it often enough to determine the actual amount of butter fat each gives. If w e can only get you to do this the rest will be easy, but until farmers who a r e pretending to dairy at all take this matter up and determine what the cow is worth it is useless to expect a n y great improvement in the dairy business. ; K U ! . f f - *Tm, LIQUID CISTERN IN STABLE. It Will Save Much of the Valuable Fertilizer. In stables where gutters are employed behind the stock for catching the manure it is very neceaaary to have some provision for holding the liquid that naturally accumulates behind the stock.

"Well, there -was a Rang across the street to-night —across from my place, I mean—and that sneaking Tom Terrill and Darby Meeker, and I reckon all the rest of "em, was there. And they was runnln' back and forth to my 'place, and a-drinkin' a good deal, and the more they drinks the louder they talks. And I hears Darby Meeker say to one feller, 'We'll git Mm, sure!' and I listens with all my ears, though pretendin' to see nothlu'. "Well fix it this time,' he said; the Old tin's got his thlntrin' cap on.' And I takes In every word, and by one thing and another 1 picks up that there's new schemes ;;<foot to trap ye. They was a-sayln' ;as it might be an Idee to take ye as you come out of Knapp's to-night." "How did they know I was at Knapp's?" 1 asked, somewhat surprised, though I had little reason to be when 1 remembered the number of •spies who might have watched me. •"Why, Dicky Nahl told em," said "Mother Borton. "He was with the gang and sings It out as pretty as you rplease." This gave me something new to •think about, but I said nothing. "Well," she continued, "they says ;at last that won't do, fer it'll git 'em Into trouble, and I reckon they're argy- ..£xA«g over their scheme* yiL But one ^.$WftS I finds o u t " "" Mother Borton stopped and looked ^ A e atfxionaly.

"if they only knew that 1 was the other _ fellow they could see at once what a bright scheme they had hit upon." ' "Maybe they ain't a-goin' to do it," said Mother Borton. "There's a heap o' things said over the liquor that don't, git. no further, but you'll he a fool if you don't look out. Now, do a.-; I toll you. You just keep more men around you.

"1 thought It would be two of my men as escort, t<ut shy sturdily refused. "They'd know something w i s up if 1 was to go around that way, and ''d be a bloody ghost aj soon as they could ketch me alone," she sail. "Well, good uight —or is it morn In'? And do take keer of yourself, dearie." And, so saying, Mother Bortoa muffle"! herself up till it was hard to tell whether she was man or wotuan, and trudged away. Whatever designs were I. rewing in the uight-meeting of the conspirators, they did not appear to concern my immediate peace of body. The two following days were spent iu quiet. Iu spite of warnings, 1 began to believe that no new plau of actiou hid beeu determined uii, and I bent my steps to the office that had been furnished by Doddridge Knapp. I hardly expected to meet the King of the Street. Ho had, 1 supposed, returned to the cit>, but ho had s^>t Wednesday as the day for resuming operations in the market, and I did not think that he would be found here on Monday. The room was cold aud cheerless, and the dingy books in law-calf appeared to gaze at me In mute protest as I looked about me. The doors that separated me from Doddridge Knapp's room were shut and locked. What was behind them? 1 wondered. Was there anything in Doddridge Knapp's room that bore on the mystery of the hidden boy, or would give the clue to the murder of Henry Wilton? If vengeance was to be mine; if Doddridge Knapp was to pay the penalty of the gallows for the death of Henry Wilton it must be by the evidence that I shtuld wrest from him and his tools. I had Just secured the key that would ft the first door I had taken the impression of the lock and bad it made without definite purpose, but now I was ready to act. With a sinking heart but a clear head I put the key cautiously to the lock and gently turned it. The key fitted perfectly, and the bolt flew back as it made the circle. I opened the door into the middle room. The second door, as I expected, was closed. Would the same key fit the second lock, or must I wait to have another made? I adranced to the second door and was about to try the key when a sound from behind it turned my blood to water. 6 Beyond that door, from th« room I had supposed to be empty, I heard a f groan. I stood as If petrified, and, in the broad daylight that streamed in at the window, with the noise and rush of Clay street ringing In my ears. I felt my hair ri«e as though I had come on a ghost. I listened a minute or more, but heard nothing. "Nonsense!" I thought to myself; "it was a trick of the imagination." I raised my hand once more to the lock, when the sound broke again, louder, unmistakable. It was the voice of one in distress of body or mind. I listened with all my ears. Then there came through the door the low, stem tones of a man's voice speak ing earnestly, pleadingly, threatening ly, but in a suppressed monotone. Then the groan burst forth again, and it was followed by sobs and choked sounds, as of one who protest ed, yet, strangely, the voice was the same. There was one man, not two. lr was self-accusation, self-excuse, and the sobs seemed to come in answer to self-reproaches. Then there was sound as of a man praying, and the prayer was broken by sohs; and again I thought there were two men. And then there was a noise of a man moving about, and a long smothered groan, as of one in agony of spirit. Fearful that the door might he f.ung open in my face* I tiptoed back to my room, and silently turned the key, a3 thoroughly ftiysfified as ever 1 had been in the strange events that. had crowded my life since I had entered, the' city. C H A P T E R X V I I . In a Foreign Land. The groans and prayers, if they cor. tinned, cor. Id bo hoard no longer through the double doors, nnd I seated myself by the desk and took accoun' of the events that had brought ,mo to my present, position. Wh^rr- did I stand?

I knew that I was . tossed between two opposing forces. j 1 knew that a mysterious boy was supposed tu be under my protection, and that to gain and keet* possession of him my life was sought and defended. I knew that Doddridge Knapp had caused the murder of Henry Wilton, and yet for some unfathomable reason gavo me his confidence and employ ment under the belief ihat I was Henry Wilton. Bat 1 had bmv able to get no hint of who the boy. might be, or whero he was concealed, or who was the hidden woman who employed me to protect him, or why bt was Bought by Doddridge Knapp. How long I sat by the desk waiting, thinking, planning, I knew not. One scheme of action after another I had considered and rejected, when a sound broke on my listening ears. I started up In feverish anxiety. It was from the room beyond, and I stole toward the door to learn what it might mea^a. Burning with impatience, I thrust, aside the fears of the evil that might follow haaty action. I had drawn the key and raised it to the slot, when I heard a step in the middle room. I had but time to retreat to my desk when a key was fitted in the lock, the door was flung open, and Doddridge Knapp stepped calmly Into the room. "Ah, Wilton," said the King of the Street affably, "I was wondering if I should find you here." There wa^ no trace of surprise or agitation in the face before me. If this was the man whose prayers and groans and sobs had come to me through the locked door, if he had wrestled with his conscience or even had been the accusing conscience of another, his faco was a mask that showed uo trace of the agony of thoughts that might contort the spirit beneath it. "I was attending to a little work of my own," I answered, after greeting. If I felt much like a disconcerted pickpocket I was careful to conceal the clr- *joa«r me extensor/ junta* r /A&OTD. cumstance, and spoke with easy indifference. "You have come back before I expected you," I continued carelessly. "Yes," said the King of the Street with equal carelessness. "Some family affairs called me home sooner than I had thought to come." "Mrs. Knapp is not ill, I trust?" I ventured. "Oh, no." "Nor Miss Knapp?" "Oh. all are well at the house, but sometimes you know women-folks get nervous." Was it possible that Mrs. Knapp had sent *or her husband? What other meaning could I put on these words? But before I could pursue ray Investigations further along this line, the wolf came to th«« surface, and he waved the subject aside with a growl. "But this Is nothing to you. What you want to know is that I won't need you before Wednesday, if then." "Does the campaign reopen?" I asked. "If you don't, mind, Wilton," said the WTolf with another growl, "I'll keep my plans till I'm ready to use theml" "Certainly," I retorted. "But maybe you would feel a little interest, to know that. Rosenheim and Bashford have gathered in about a thousand shares of Omega in the last, four or five days." Doddridge Knapp gave mo a keen glance. "There were no sales of above a hundred shares," he said. "No—most, of them ran from ten to fifty shares." "Well," ho continued, looking fixedly at mo, -"you know something about Rosenheim °" "If it, won't, interfere with your plnns," T suggested apologetically. The Wolf drew hack his lips over hi; fangs, nnd then turned the snarl into -\ sruilo. "Co on," h" said, waving amends for lb." sr.ub ho had administered. "We:'..

"Very good, Wilton," aald the King of the Street with grudging approval. "We'll sell old Decker quite a piece ot Crown Diamond before he gets through. ' And now is there anything more in your packet?" "It's empty," I confessed. "Well, you may go then." Doddridge Knapp followed me to the door, and stood on the threshold as I walked down the hall. There was no chance for spying or listening at key-holes, if I were so inclined, and it was not until I had reached the bottom stair that i thought I heard the sound of a closing door behind me. As I stood at the entrance, almost oblivious of the throng that was hurrying up and down Clay street, Porter joined me. "Did you see him?" he asked. "Him? Who?" "Why, Tom Terrill sneaked down those stairs a little bit ago, and I thought you might have found him up there." Could it be possible that this man had been with Doddridge Knapp, and that it was his voice I had heard? This iu turn seemed improbable, hardly possible. "There he is now," whispered Por ter. I turned my eyes in the direction he indicated, and a shock ran through me; for my eye had met the eye ot a serpent. Yes, there again was the cruel, keen face,*and the glittering, repulsive eye. filled with malice and hatred, that I had beheld with loathing and dread whenever It had come in my path. With an evil glance Terrill turned and made off in the crowd. "Follow that man, Walnwright," said I to the second guard, who was close at hand. "Watch him to-night and report to me to-morrow." I wondered what could be the meaning of Terrill's visit to the building. Was it to see Doddridge Knapp and get his orders? Or was it to follow up some new plan to wrest from me the secret I was supposed to hold? But there was no answer to these questions, and I turned toward my room to prepare for the excursion that had been set for the evening. It was with hope and fear that I took my way to the Pine Street palace. It was my fear that was realised. Mrs. Bowser fell to my lot, while Luella joined Mr. Carter, and Mrs. Carter with Mr. Horton followed. Corson was waiting for us at the City Hall. I had arranged with the policeman that he should act as our gijl.de, and had given him Porter and Barkhouse as assistants in case any should be needed. "ft fine night for it, sor," said Cor son in greeting. "There's a little celebration goin" on among the haythens to-night, so you'll see 'em at their beat." Looking across the dark shrubbery of Portsmouth Square and up Washington street, the eye could catch a line of gay-colored lanterns, swaying in the light wind, and casting a mellow glow on buildings and walks.

Tharsday afternoon the work in the lower grades closed with tbe program as printed m the DISPATCH and it was listened to by a good audience. The grades showed excellent training and the program was carried o a t to the letter without a hitch. Miss Gladys Brown presided a t the organ and the grades marched in and look their places. While each recitation was excellent, the Sanbonnat Babies and Overall Boys, The Dumb Bell Drill, Marching Song, The Merry Milkmaids, were exceptionally so and showed that they bad had the best of training, 1 ot only in their singing and recitation parts but in the marching as well. I The training bad been so complete that there was no word said by either 1 teacher from start to finish but all went off like'clock work.' Not only the grades but the teachers are to be commended. COMMENCEMENT Friday evening occured the annual commencement. This year the class : numbered only two, Miss Lucy Cal- j bane and Mr. William Brogan. Qual-1 ity, not quantity, has been the aim ot [ the school and pupils have to 'do the ' work' or they do not reach tbe goal. Mr. Brogan gave the "Class Welcome" and Miss Culhane the "Class Farewell." Both were good and much appreciated. The Cla9s address was given by Prof. Barbour of Ypsilanti and was one of his interesting and instructive ones, delivered in his pleasant style. Rev. A. G. Gates, in behalf ol the Board presented the diplomas, and two more of Finckneys young people were launched on the sea of lite. The school has been excellent for several years and it is to hoped that no move will be made that will lower the present hi^h standard. The hope of the country today is in the education of our young American people to off-set the ignorant classes that are being dumped into this country from all the nations of the earth.

No man can really believe in himself when be Is occupying a false position and wearing a mask, when the little monitor within him is constantly saying, "You know you are a fraud; you are not the man you pretend to be." The conscious nees of not being genuine, not being what others think him to be, writes Orison Swett Marden in Success Mag tt*Uie, lobs a man of power, honeycombs the character and destroys selfrespect and self-confidence. When Lincoln was asked to, take the wrong side of a case he said, "I could not do it. All the time while talking to that jury I should be thinking, 'Lincoln, you're a liar,' and 1 believe I should forget myself and say it our loud." Character as capital is very much underestimated by a great number of young men. They seem to put more emphasis upon smartness, shrewdness, long'headedness, cunning, Influence, a pull, than upon downright honesty and integrity of character.

The Victim* of the Eapleelew Number Three t i n Men Contract Rabies Frern Infected Cattle. Italy Is not usually supposed to furnish favorable soli for the suffragette movement. It is therefore a little surprising to find how strong that movement has already become. The congress of Italian women that has just been held in Rome is not so much the inauguration as the continuation and consolidation of a feminist effort that has already met with marked success. Although isolated groups had been working for the amelioration of woman's lot in Italy ever since its political regeneration, it was not till 1898 that a real feminist movement made itself apparent. In Milan was founded the Undone Femminile, which now has more than 100,000 members. Turin followed suit, with that splendid society now ramified all over the peninsula, the Co-operative Feminine Industries; Tuscany, the Romagna, the Emilia, took up the example, until their* exist now some 20 different sections, each autonomous in its methods and ideals, but all helping forward the social aridf ethical* -upraising; of the land. g. was to bring together these scattered sections, for the purpose of interchanging ideas and projects, that this Roman congress was called. If the American husband is caught in the act of admiring himself in the glass and looking chesty it is doubtless because he has been leading that the Rev.,Br. Aked says he le the best husband, In the world, being far superior3n every way to the pauper husband of Europe pr the prince husband, either. American wives should pause occasionally to congratulate themselves on the snap they have. They should also be patient and sweet about it if hubby breaks away once in a while and goes to a ball game. Their Ipt might have been cast In Europe, where the husband as yet is but. partially subdued, or in Asia, where he thinks he is a superior being. In view of this declaration from one who should know in favor of the American husband, the American woman as she glides along under full sail of her Merry Widow hat should cheer up and console herself with the thought that her life partner isn't, as bad as he might be. Diplomacy, in spite of the frankness which is supposed to characterize it in rhodern days, still has its amusing episodes. When Italy desired to open poflt offices in five Turkish cities, the porte not only refused permission, but said that, the opening would be prevented by force if necessary. When Italian battleships appeared the request was granted, "not as a right, r.peciaily acquired," the Turkish ambassador took pains to remark, "but as an expression of the unshaken sentiments of sincere friendship" between the sultan and the king of Italy. Signer Tiftnni, on behalf of Italy, remarked, somewhat, dryly, that the friendly sentiments of The sultan were fully reciprocated.

While a Grand Trunk fast freight was speeding along at the rate of 30 miles an hour two mites east of Imlay City about S o'clock Monday morning the boiler of the engine suddenly exploded. As a result. Engineer Thomas Phlbbs is dead, Fireman William Brown waa thrown 30 feet, and suffered injuries which will probably prove fatal, while Head Brakeman D. C. Smith, although terrrbly scalded, will probably recover. The injured men live in Battle Creek. The train ran some distance niter the explosion, and only stopped when the engine and the first tfejreje earn jumped the track and were piled in the ditch. Running ahead, the conductor found Phibbs lying unconscious beside the track. He was terribly injured. His left leg had been blown off and he was burned and scalded. Brown was found in a field some distance from the track, and he, too, was terribly burned and scalded. Smith was found in a field several rods from the track. The injured men were brought to Imlay City, where they were cared for, but Phlbbs lived but an hour or two. He expired in the office of Dr. Jones. "It happened so quickly that I can't tell much about it," said he. "I was Bitting in the cab when, all at once there waa an awful explosion, and 1 found myself sailing through the air. "I landed in a field several rods away. I couldn't get up, and lay there until the party came along and carried me away. I haven't the least idea what happened to the boiler." As a result of the ditching of the freight cars, the New York-Chicago Grand Trunk line was tied up during the day. STATE BRIEFS. Six Men Have Rabies. As the result of an epidemic of rabies among the livestock on the farm of Tracy B. Lowry, near Saranac, BIX men are In the University hospital In Ann Arbor, and one of them is In a critical condition with the disease. The men are: Peter Lowry, son of the proprietor of the farm, the one worst affected; Tracy B. Lowry, Bruce Lowry, another son; Alvan Rising, an employe at the farm; Dr. Randall Tayh r, a veterinary; O. K. Kenney, a butcher. The origin of the epidemic, the source of the contagion is not known, but as there have been several "mad dog" cases in the vicinity it is naturally believed that one of the cattle was bitten. It is declared that the epidemic has affected even the fowls on the place. Kenney, the butcher, is in the hospital as a result of having bought the hides of some of the cattle, which were slain. The veterinary became affected while treating the cattle, and the others wer° inoculated while caring for the stock. Storm Damages. A severe storm struck Kingsley and the vicinity thereabouts Tuesday, preceded by a heavy wind.

Additional damage to fruit and crops was done in the section about Benton Harbor early Tuesday morning by a wind, rain and lightning storm which rivaled that of Sunday for intensity. Reports from the rural districts indl cafe severe damage to peaches and apples.

No pomp nor splendor had place in the ceremonies. There were no bands to play dirges on the way to the old Princeton cemetery, no military escort, no eulogy by the officiating clergymen. The half mile of thoroughfare through which the cortege passed from Westland, the Cleveland home on Bayard lane, to the cemetery was policed by mounted troops, but they were there for police duty and as a measure of precaution in protecting the living president rather than for display In paying tribute to a departed chief executive. Four clergymen officiated at the house and at the grave. They road the burial service from the Presbyterian Hook of Common Worship, but offered no eulogy. This Rimple but Impressive service was conducted by Dr. Henry Van Dyke of Princeton, Rev. Dr. Williams R. Richards, pastor of the Rrick Presbyterian church C New York; Rev. Sylvester W. Beach, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Princeton, where the Cleveland family attended, and Rev. Maitland V. Hartlett, former pastor of the same church. There were no honorary pallbear ers. Those who bore Mr. Cleveland's body to its final resting place in the Cleveland plot were Mayor George V,. McClellan, Paul Morton, Commodore E. C. Benedict. Richard Watson Gilder of New York; Prof. Paul Van Dyke, Dean Andrew F. West, Prof. John G. Hibben. Junius S. Morgan, a nephew of J. Pierpont Morgan; A. D. Russell, Prof. Howard McLenahan, and Bayard Stockton of Princeton. The simple Presbyterian service was said at the grave, the casket lowered into the ground, and one of the country's most distinguished citizens had become but a memory. A silver plate on the casket bore the inscription: 'Grover Cleveland, March 18, 1837- Jone 24, IMS." President Roosevelt, Gov. Fort of New Jersey} ,Gov. Hughes of New York, Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia, members of President Cleveland's cabinet, and other ttetabk* citizens nttended the fnneral.

He also Issued a proclamation to the country, eulogising the dead. statesman, ordering all government flags hair-maatad for 30 days, and directing that military and naval honors be accorded the late president on the day of the funeral. A beautiful floral wreath was ordered by the president to be sent in his name and that of Mrs. Roosevelt to Princeton, to be placed by the bier. In accordance with custom, President Roosevelt issued a special proclamation when advised of the death of the ex-president. The proclamation^ follows: By the President of the United States. A Proclamation. The White House, June 24, MOL To the People of the United States: Grover Cleveland, president of thfe> United States from 1885 to 1889 and again rrom 1883 to 1887, died at 8:40 o'clock thifr morning at his home In Princeton, N.

Bo the little household, with the ad dition of the "mvalid and his nurse, moved smoothly on tor two weeks, when the patient was pronounced able to leave for hja own lodgings,'.' (Copyright, by Shurtaiury fub. Co.) After Philip Raymond, M. D., was graduated trp^n the .^edical, school a* a physician and Burgeon, it took him but a few weeks to locate In a small suburb W o n d 1 " tankers! , 4 V c8ttage* with a neat little office, a coxy den, comfortable bedroom* and dining-room and kitchen constituted his bachelor apartments. The house was Just off the main business street of the village, and his swinging sign, brave in gttld aaff fttoek, could easily he seen fry those who weYe pausing along the thoroughfare^'When he had spent all be dared of tha small amount his education had left of his patrimony upon the furnishing of this little home, and had installed a capable Irish housekeeper, he felt at leisure to- sit on the tiny porch with his book, behind the screen of the rambler rose, and watch for the messenger to ring the bell, ready to slip into the office and gravely receive the message himself if it were during office hours, or, if it were not, to listen while Bridget took the order and answered: "Oi'll tell the docthor whin he comes In." If the hook sometimes slipped to the floor and the possible patient was forgotten in the vision of a certain dainty figure with laughing eyes, who should one day be near him when the bachelor quarters should swell to larger proportions—well, that is another story. Certainly, the office bell did not often disturb his day-dreams. The monotony of this life could not always last—it had to end one way or another. One day a group of laborers upon the trolley line which was to link the little suburb with what was destined to be the great chain of Greater New York had reached a point within the doctor's range of vision, when a sudden commotion among them aroused him at his station on the porch. Then he saw that a man had fallen, and, as one pointed to the doctor's sign, several others lifted him and brought him toward the house. Dr. Raymond received them with his most dignified manner, heard their report that the foreman of the gang—for it was he who had fallen—had eaten no lunch and seemed to be in pain; that after# they had returned to work he had suddenly clapped his hand to his right side and dropped to the ground; that he lived by himself, and had no relatives, so far as they knew. While the doctor listened he was hurriedly using restoratives and thoroughly examining his patient. He was Boon convinced that an acute attack of appendicitis had caused the loss of consciousness, and that an operation should be performed at once. The delicate operation was performed with complete success and the patient put to bed in the doctor's own apartment, for he dared not risk a re moval. It was one of those rases where the appendix showed no sign of obsfruction; indeed, there was an unusually healthy condition, which promised a safe and speedy recovery, especially as the patient was a strong man nnt over 30 years of age. The patient recovered consciousness quite suddenly. Just as the doctor was beginning to feel uneasy at the prolonged state of coma which did not show any signs of yielding to his efforts. "Wal, I've sure got a fine berth this time," suddenly greeted the doctor's ears. He turned quickly to the bed in time to see his man preparing to rise. "No! no!" expostulated Dr. Raymond. "Wait a moment and I will explain." Then, as gently as possible, the doctor told the man what had occurred. "Append iceetis! Appendix to the dictionary! and didn't ye go through my pockets?" "My good man, I'm not a highway robber," said the doctor, beginning to fear that the patient's mind was unbalanced. "Wal. good Lord, I wish 't ye had 'a' bin. I'd be better off now with all my appendixes and supplemunts, fnr tha' wa'n't nuthin' in my pockets that I'd miss ef ye'd only stopped at them. Now, jess go look in the inside pocket to my coat, 'n' see what ye'll find." Dr. Raymond obeyed, and found a paper on which was written: "I have fits. Take off my coat and put me where It is cool and quiet. I'll come to in two or three hours." "Ye see, Doc, I thought <V course they'd look in my pockets, ef I was took 'ith one o' my spells, to see where to take me or who my folks was. I ain't, hed one now for nigh on to five year; t.ho't mebbe I'd got she?, of em. Anyhow, 'twouldn't do to tell the men —'twould queer me with 'em.

It seemed best for both his patient and himself to avoid conversation for the rest of the night, so, making him comfortable and telling him to call if he wished anything, Dr. Raymond lay down on a couch in his der.. There was little danger that sleep would interfere with his duties as a nurse. The chagrin, and mortification at his professional error was not his only trouble, though he realized what the result might be if the man wished to be disagreeable. Youth has strong confidence in itself, and he felt sure of being able, by. smarting anew elsewhere, to overcome any adverse criticism which might arise. But, alas! his finances would hardly bear the 'Tm Havin' a Vacation on Full Pay." strain of entertaining the invalid, if ho, proved to be a -guest instead of a paying patient, though no .thought of this had - entered Raymond's mind when he took the suffexer in.as an act of common humanity; and so, if the small revenue his meager practice brought were cut off, and he must move and wait again, is it strange that the morning found him more haggard than his patient, W(ho slept heavily until daylight? As the doctor sat before his untasted breakfast, the Irish laborer brought a note from the superfntendent, saying that Thomas Wheeler was a valuable man and the company would bear the expense of his illness and keep up his pay. The doctor was instructed to procure whatever help was needed to care for him properly. Raymond assured the man that the patient had passed a comfortable night, and that there was every reason to believe he would be out in two or three weeks' time. When the message and the good wishes of his fellow- laborers were repeated to Wheeler, he exclaimed: "Well, Doc, ye look's if ye was as much cut up bout this's I be, tho' it's all in yer feelin's in your case. Now, I've been doin' a spell o' thinkin' over this here sltooation, 'n' I do' know's it'll help matters any fer me to kick. My appendix is gone—can't never have appendlceetis now, for sure, that's one comfort.

So le's shake on it, Doc, 'n' we'll call it Five years later, Dr. Raymond haft become one or the Visiting physician* at a large' city hospital, when one day he was hurriedly called into the op eratiog room to assist the chief surgeon with a case of appendicitis. The patient was prepared for the operation when Dr. Raymond entered, and they silently fell into their places and watched the skillful work. Everything proceeded as usual until the culminating point of the task was reached, when it was found that there was no appendix to be removed. As the man was being taken to a ward, 'a sudden suspicion caused Dr. Raymond'to look intently at his face, and he recognized his old friend, Thomas Wheeler. It was not his duty to visit that ward, and he, found no opportunity to speak with Wheeler until a few days before he was discharged from the hospital. The nurse left the bedside as Raymond passed, and he took the opportunity to step quietly before the patient "Wal, Doc. Is it you?" he said. " 'Twa'n't so strange ye made a mistake, boy a s ye was, now, was it, when this here big gun went 'n' done th' same thing? "N I thought I had 'em fixed sure this time with a piece o' parchment sewed to my shirt; but I'll be dummed ef th' blamed sweat didn't blur the writin' so't they couldn't read it. I'll fix it some way tho' for next time." Again an ambulance responded to a hurry call, and a patient was taken at once to the operating room. The examination of the head physician confirmed the report of the emergency doctor: An acute attack of appendicitis. Immediate operation necessary. Dr. Raymond was summoned. Suddenly the nurse who was preparing the patient for the operating table ex claimed: "Oh, doctor, please look at this!" The surgeon stooped over the pros trate man and found tattooed across his abdomen these words: "Stop. Don't cut. Appendix removed twice." Stepping to the man's head he found again his old patient, about to be fo.- the third time a martyr. CORRECT. g»>/ Stopper—Is this an "intelligence" of flee?

EXCHANGE OF COMPLIMENTS. UNCLE DIC1CS a* , WONDERFUL 1 » '•' CKE "I can't help admiring your beautiful costume, madam!" 'And I your good taste, sir!" JIMMY BRODBRICK'S Uncle Dick was not only a great inventor, but one of the kindest men that ever lived. Although, tie earned his living by inventing usefnl things like automatic plows that would plow a whole field In the night time while the fanner lay in bed asleep, and automatic fish poles that would bait their own hooks and throw out their own lines and pull in their own flan and take them off. and bait the hooks ever again, still Uncle Dick was ready at a minute's notice to drop all that sort of thing and invent something to give a boy pleasure. Jimmy Broderick knew this and he took great care of Uncle Dick, carrying an umbrella for him when it rained and watching to that be ate his meals regularly, for like all great inventors. Uncle Dick could not take care of him self very well. "What would you like for the Fourth of July, Jimmy?" asked Uncle Dick about a week before that important day. "I would like most of all to have a great big sky rocket," said Jimmy. "You shall have one," said his uncle, and immediately went into bis inventory shop, which is the funny name that he gave to the little room where he invented things. The telephone bell rang a good deal that day. On the very next morning a big truck arrived from the city with two big casks on it. They were painted red and marked "Danger! Powder!" in big letters. There were also huge rolls of thick pasteboard, each sheet big enough to make the whole side of a house, and there were so many of them that the horses could hardly pull them. Uncle Dick rubbed his hands and chuckled like anything when he saw the material. "You shall certainly have a skyrocket," said he to Jimmy. "And the begt of it is that the greater part of the country for hundreds of miles around will have one, too." Jimmy was very curious and still more puzzled, but he knew that Uncle Dick did not like to explain his inven tions beforehand, so he asked no questions, but merely kept his eyes open and did not go out of sight of the inventory shop all morning. Befire noon a great gang of men arrived, and under Uncle Dick's orders they began to carry all the material to the pasture, where they deposited it around a huge old dead pine tree that stood smooth and straight reaching into the air fully SO feet, without a branch to break it. except, on the very top, and that was soon gone, too, for Uncle Dick sent men up there and they lopped it off so that rhen the tree stood sleek and smooth like a mast. Then the sheets of pasteboard were laid on the ground and rolled into a great cylinder 30 feet long and at least ten feet, in diameter. As soon as a sheet was rolled into shape the men tied it tightly with yards on yards of rope and then another sheet was rolled around the first and more rope tied around that and so on until all the pasteboard had been used up, and that was such a lot that It took the men all day with the hardest kind of work. The next day they opened the casks of powder and began to load it in and in. hour after hour, until the last grain was pounded in good and hard, and Jimmy's Uncle Dick said: "So! There's 800 pounds of powder in there. That ought to make her fly." "But how about the stick?" thought Jimmy. He did not say it, knowing how easy it is to spoil an inventor's ideas by interrupting him with frlv olous conversation. He was to learn very soon how about the stick, for as soon as the mighty cylinder was all finished. Uncle Dick had a derrick rigged, and up went the big thing until it dangled alongside of the dead pine tree near the dizzy top of it. Then mighty cables were sent up and the men lashed the loaded pasteboard cylinder to the tree until it was completely hidden by ropes. •'Now for the fuse," said Uncle Dick. He set the men to work untwisting roves until they had more than 200 feet, all unraveled. Uncle Dick went up the derrick and put the end of the unraveled rope into the bottom part of the rocket. Then he poured kerosene oil all over it and rubbed gunpowder into it. That afternoon Uncle Dick sent out invitations both by mail and by messenger to places as far away as 200 miles, saying: "Jimmy Broderick respectfully invites you to his Uncle Dick's farm to see him set off the biggest skyrocket in tha world o n the .evtmiag of th* Fourth of July." , t u , Uncle Dick also sent word to the papers about it, and on the evening of the Fourth more than 10,000 .people were at the farm, wondering at the immense skyrocket and trembling all over at the thought of the eipioeloa when she went off. And all .over thw land people, who could not go to the farm were watching the heavens aad paying very little attention to the other fireworks of the United Statea, because the papers had told all about the rocket and had explained that it could be seen hundreds of miles when it went up. When the time came. Uncle Dick gave Jimmy a big piece of lighted punk and then he stood in front of the tree and said: "Ladles and Gentlemen: You will notice that this tree is inclined toward the north. My calculations tell me that when the rocket is lit It will poll the tree clear out of the ground and go north for at least 1,000 miles, which will bring it over uninhabited country, where it will fall without hurting anybody, unless a bear or a moose should get in the way. Now, Jimmy, touch her off!" Jimmy touched the end of the fuse and then everybody ran away to a safe distance. The fire climbed swiftly, and suddenly with a bang that shook the hills and broke the windows even tn towns 100 miiesaway, the giant rocket went off. Out came the tree, roots and all, and sailed grandly into the sky with a hissing trail of fire behind it. The amased "Ten Thousand People Were There." spectators watched it for more than half an hour, getting smaller and smaller, till it disappeared in the northern sky. For days after that the paper printed reports from distant places from people who had seen a wonderful" fiery thing in the night. By means of these reports, it was possible for Uncle Dick to pursue the course of his wonderful rocket until he found that it had gone far over Canada; but he could not learn where it had fallen and he did not learn until recently. But about a week ago a hunter who had been in the very far north of Canada, near Hudson bay, shooting musk oxen, visited Uncle Dick. He told a lot of interesting hunting adventures, and finally said: "The queerest thing that I saw was far up in the barren lands where there are no trees. One day I saw something odd some distance away, and I went there on my snow shoes. "What, do you suppose I found? A mighty tree! That, was queer enough up there. But queerer still was the fact that this tree did not stand in the ground as other trees do, but stood roots up with its crown buried deeply in the soil. It. was the most marvelous sight I have even seen, and I can hardly believe it. yet. I would give a good deal to know what caused this 3t.range freak of nature." Uncle Dick chuckled and winked at Jimmy. "Did you ever hear of Jimmy's wonderful skyrocket0" he asked. "No, never," said the hunter. "You know I have been in the wilderness a long time." So Uncle Dick told him. After he got through the hunter said: "I am glad to know this. I intended to write a hook about It, bat now I shall W anie to save myself the trouble."

"I never <xm*A tell 'em that way," T t is a strange resemblance," said Mr. Carter. "Don't you find it almost impossible to distinguish between abators the wu thither. The click rattling of sti<*a» a excltw^afiea 0¾ ihrQngj •Stafcy'ra the b tl*»w«>4iwit %euklu't b«t the o*Me»>'OH4ii back." "Dear me, how dreadful!'' said Mrs. Bowser. "And do we have to go down into that horrible hole, aud how can we ever get out with our lives?" "We're not going down there, ma'am," interrupted Coraon shortly. "And where next?" asked Luella. The queatiob was addre*aed to the poUgeuAna, not to me. Except tor * formal greeting when he had iu#jt, Luella had apoken no word to me during the evening. "Here's the bigge»t joes houae in town," said Coraon. "We might aa well see Jt now as any time." "Oh, do let us see those delightfully horrible Idols," cried Mrs. Bowser. The policeman led the way into the dimly-lighted building that served as a temple. I lingered a moment by the door to see that all my party passed In. "There's Wafnwright," whispered Porter, who closed the procession. "WheW?" I asked, a dim remembrahce of the mission on which, I had sent him in pursuit of the snake-eyed man giving the Information a sinister twist. Porter gave a chirrup and Wainwright halted at the door. "He's just passed up the alley here," said Waiuwright in a low voice. "Who? r e r r l l l ? " I asked. "Yea;' said Wainwrlght. "I've kept him in sight all the evening." "Hasn't he seen you?" asked Porter. "I spied you as soon as you turned the corner." "Don't. Know,", sjitd Wainwright; "but something's up. There he goes now. I mustn't miss him." And Wainwright was off. The presence of Terrill gave me some tremors of anxiety, for I knew that his unscrupulous ferocity would stop at nothing. Then I reflected that the presence of Doddridge Knapp's daughter was a protection against an attack from Doddridge Knapp's agents, and I followed the party Into the heathen temple without further apprehensions. The temple was small, and the dim, religious light gave an air of mystery to the ugly figure of the god and the trappings of the place. "That's one of the richest carvings ever brought into this country," said Corson, pointing to a part of the altar mounting. "Tin thousand dollars wouldn't touch one side of it." "You don't say!" cried Mrs. Bowser, while the rest murmured in the effort to admire the work of art. 'And ia that stuff buraing for a disinfectant?" She pointed to numerous pieces of punk, such as serve the small boy on the Fourth of July, that were consuming slowly before the ugly..Josst "No, ma'am—not but they needs it all right enough," said Corson, "but that's the ha-sfthen w a y of say in' your prayers." This information was so astonishing that Corson was allowed to finish, his explanation without further remarks from Mrs. Bowser. "I'll show you the theater next," said he, as he led the way of the temple with Mrs. Bowser giving hor views of the picturesque heathen in questions that Corson found no break in the conversation long enough to answer. As I lingered for a moment in some depression of spirit, waiting for the others to file out, a voice that thrilled me spoke in my ear. "Our guide is enjoying a great favor." It was Luella, noticing me for the first time since the expedition had started. "He has every reason to be delighted," I returned, brightening at the favor I was enjoying. "Foreign travel is said to be of great value in education," said Luella, taking my arm, "but it's certainly stupid at times." 1 suspected that Mr. Carter had not been entirely successful in meeting Miss Knapp's ideas of what an escort should be. . -". 'T didn't Rnppose you could find anything stupid," I said. "I am intensely Interested," she retorted, "but unfortunately the list of subjects has come to an end." "You might have begun at the beginning again." "He did," she whispered, "so 1 thought it. time he fried the guide or Aunt Julia." "Thank yon," I said, "Thank him, yon mean," she said Rally. Now don't be stupid yourself, so please change the subject. Dn you know," she continued without giving m^1 time to speak, "that, the only wny I can he reconciled to this place and the sights we have seen is to imagine I am in Canton o»- Poking, thousands of miles from homo'1 Seen there, it is Interesting, instructive, natural—a part of the people. As a part of San Francisco it is only vile." "Come this way," said Corson, halting with the party at one of the doors. "I'll show you through some of the opium dens, and that win bring us to the iitage door pf. the, theater.." "How close and heavy the air «%id. Luella. as we followed me wind ing passage In the dim illumination that came from, an occasional gas jet or oil Uinp., "The yellow man is a firm believer in 'the motto, 'Ventiration is the root of air evil, "1 admitted. The. £ume$ ,of tobacco and opium wet* heavy ou the air, uxld a momeul later, we cam,e uoi a cluster of small rooms ur Ueus, fitted with couches and buuks. It needed no description to make the purpose plain. The-whole process of intoxication by opium was before me, froiu the heating of the ittei^ pipp to the final stupor. ,tba}, is. the gift and end of the Black Smoke. Here, was a'coolie mixing the drug; there, just beyond hfni, was ahdther, drawing whiffs from the bubbling narcotic through the bamboo handle of ty* pip^i there,, still beyond, was another, lying back unconscious, half- Clad, repulsive, a very sorry reality indeed to the gorgeous dreams that are reputed to follow in the train of the seductive pipe. "This ia depressing," said Luella, with a touch on my arm. " L e t s go on." "Turn to the right there," Corson called out, as we, led the way while he was explaining to Mr. Carter the method of smoking. "Let us get where there is some air," said Luella. "This odor is sickening." We hastened on. and, turning to the right, soon came on two passages. One led up a stair, hidden by a turn after half a dozen steps. The other stretched 50 or 75 feet before us, and an oil lamp on a brackett at the farther end gave a smoky light to the passage and to a mean little court on which it appeared to open. "We had better wait for the rest," said Luella cautiously. As she spoke, one of the doors toward the farther end of the passage swung back and a tall, heavy figure came out. My heart gave a great bound, and I felt without realizing it at the moment that Luella clutched my arm fiercely. In the dim light the figure was the figure of the Wolf, the head was the head of the Wolf and though no light shone upon it, the face was the face rrauor or, ??&• /voir of the Wolf, livid, distorted with anger, fear and brutal passions. "Doddridge Knapp!" I exclaimed, and gave a step forward. It flashed on me that one mystery was explained, I had found out why the Doddridge Knapp of plot and counterplot, and the Doddirdge Knapp who was the generous and confidential employer, could dwell in the same body. The King of the Street was a slave of the Black Smoke, and, like many another, went mad under the influence of the 3ubtle drug. As I moved forward, Luella clung to me and gave a low cry. The Wolf figure threw one malignant look at us and was gone. "Take me home, oh. take me home!" cried Luella in low suppressed tones, trembling and half-falling. I put my arm about her to support her. "What is it?" I asked. She leaned upon me for one moment, and the black walls and gloomy passage became a palace filled with flowers. Then her strength and resolution returned and she shook herself free. "Come; lot. us go back to the others," she said a little unsteadily, "We should not have left them." "Certainly," I replied. "They ought to be here by this time." But a3 we turned a sudden cry sounded as of an order given. There was a bang of wood and a click of metal, and as we looked we saw that, unseen hands had closed the way to our return. A barred and Iron-bound door was locked in our faces. CHAPTER XVIU. The Battle in the Maze. For an instant I was overwhelmed with terror and ^elf-reproach. The bnlted door befcHV me tfave notice of danger as plainly as though the word had been pninteti.uPOll its front, t h e dark and lowering walls of the passage in which the 'Mfolf figure of Dbpldridge Knapp had aj)pea*red. and disappeared whl3per*d-Tihf**trf. Aid 1,- in f a ^ i ^ ' a < r f f l ^ ^ t J l ^ ' * i i ^ i ^ r t » " V had brought Luella Knapp into this place and exposed her to the dangers that encircled me. It was this thought that for the moment unnerved me. •'Whit does this meatf?" asked Luella in ft matter-of-fact lone. "It la a poor practical joke, 1 tear," said 1 lightly. I took occasion to shift a revolver to my overcoat pocket. "Well, arn't you going to get me out of here?" she asked with a little suggestion of impatience. "That is my preaent iptention," 1 re plied, beaming.a tattoo on the door. "You'll hurt your^ fists," she said. "You muijt find, some way bealdea beating it down." "I'm trying to bring our friends here," said I. "They should have been with us before now." "Isn't there another way out?" asked Luella. "I, suspect there qre a good, many ways out." I replied, "but, unfortunately, I don't know them." And I gave a few resounding kicks on the door. "Where does this stairway go, I wouder?" said Luella. "It can't be the way out. Isn't there another?" "We might try the passage." She gave a shudder and shrank toward me. "No, no," she cried In a low voice. "Try the door again. Somebody must hear you, and it may be opened." I followed her suggestion with a rain of kicks, emphasized with a shout that made the echoes ring gloomily in the passage. ' I heajrd in reply a sound of voices, and then^&n answering shout, and the steps of men running. "Are .you there, Mr. Wilton?" cried the,voice of Corson through the door. , "Yes, all safe, I answered. "Well, just hold on a bit and we'll—"/ .. The rest of hfs sentence was lost In a suppressed scream from Luella. I turned and darted before her, just in time to face three Chinese ruffians who were hastening down the passage. The nearest of the trio, a^tall dark savage with a deep sca^.acfqVs his cheek, was just reaching out h^ls' hand to seize Luella when I sprang forward and planted a blow square upon his chin,' He fell back heavllyt lifted almost off his feet by my impact, and lay Uke a log on the floor. The other two ruffians halted Irresolute for, an Instant, and I drew my revolver. Their wish seemed t^o be to take me alive if possible. After a moment of hesitation there was a muttered exclamation ,and ope of the desperadoes drew his hand from his blouse. "Oh!" cried Luella. "He's got a knife i" Before he could make another movement I fired once, twice, three times. "There was a scramble and scuffle In the passageway, and the smoke rolled thick in front, blotting out the scene that had stood in sllhouettte before us. Fearful of a rush from the Chinese, I. threw one nrm about Luella, and, keeping my body between her and possible attack, guided her to the stair that led upward at nearly right angles from the passage. She was trembling and her breath came short, but her spirit had not quailed. She shook herself free as I placed her on the first step, "Have yon killed them?" she asked quietly. "I hope so," I replied, looking cautiously around the corner to see the results of my fusillade. The smoke had spread into a thin haze through the passage. (TO B E CONTINUED.)

It had been so exceedingly convenient to call up her friends that the woman immediately noticed the change; for on the bracket in place of the telephone stood a statuette that she didn't much care for. "What have you done with It?" she asked of them. "The company tried to collect the hill," they said. " 'I am sorry,' " the woman sighed, because at that moment, she thought of about a dozen to whom she would have liked to telephone. "So are all our frienJt," sai4 they pointedly.

At the portal of the State House, Like some beacon in a storm, Round which waves are wildly beating, Stood a boyishJ&lcnder form; With his eyes ftriw on the steeple And his ears agape with greed To catch the first announcement Of the "signing" of the deed.

That confusion of our rooms, as It were, externalizing the confusion of middle class minds, has felt the attack of the revived Idea of simplicity. In many houses you are refreshed by unincumbered walla, merely decorated by quiet, plain papers, without pictures or fans or plates. A few necessary chairs, a table meant for use, fewer things everywhere, and those things better chosen—that Is the new ldonl in furnishing. Time Lost Means Slavery.

Demand •HRLVVD TRICK BY W H I C H MCfV C H A N T GOT A START. Hla Offer of Qlft of $6,000 OrB «n to Church tvatabllahad Hla Credit Aa a Good Man to Tla To. There la a proaperoua merchant In Chicago to-day who owe* hla aucceaa to hla donation of a 16,000 organ to a chores at a time whoa he didn't have money enough to buy a hand organ. Thla donation waa a caae ol bluff, pure and simple, but the bluff worked and resulted In the aubsequent wealth of the lucky bluffer. John Smith waa aeeklng capital to atart In buaineaa for himself, but aa be had no aecurlty worth speaking of he could not borrow the money he needed. When he had tried every peraon he could thtnk of who would be likely to have the neceaaary cash and the in-'' clinatlon to lend It and had been turned down, he conceived tbe Idea of presenting hla church with an organ. Toung Napoleon John Smith therefore ordered hla organ and allowed the future to look out for itself. The manufacturer* of the organ never thought of questioning the financial standing of the philanthropist who was handing out 15,000 organs, and agreed to have the instrument Bet up in the church on time. Of course J. Smith waa not a bud that was born to blush unseen, nor did he hide hla beneficence under a bushel. He managed to bring in at least the flute stops no matter what the subject of conversation. Not only did the young Napoleon advertise himself by means of the church organ, but the pleased minister and the equally pleased congregation spread the newa of hla gift During this time John did not allow any alfalfa to grow under his feet. On the pretense of consulting some wealthy member of the congregation about some minor detail of tbe organ he would drop into an office, and before he left casually would mention the subject of the company he was forming. Most of tbe men that he thus •aw thought St would be a good thing to be associated with a man who was making so much money that he was able to hand out $5,000 without missing it, so that all were anxious to take atock in J. Smith's company. Long before the time came for the first payment on the organ Smith had gathered enough money to start his business and was doing so well he had no difficulty in borrowing the amount needed to make the payment. From that time he has made money so fast that now he could give away several $5,000 organs and pay for them as well. Ready to Open an Account.

"I have been treated by doctors for twenty-five years for a bad case of eczema on my leg. They did their best, but failed to cure it. My doctor had advised me to have my leg out off. At this time my leg was peeled from the knee, my foot was like a piece of raw flesh, and I had to walk; on crutches. I bought a set of Cuticura Remedies. After the first two treatments the swelling went down, and in two months my leg was cured and the new skin came on. The doctor was surprised and said that he would use Cuticura for his own patients. I have now been cured over seven years, and but for the Cuticura Remedies I might have lost my life. Mrs, J. B. Renaud, 277 Mentana St., Montreal, Que., Feb. 20, 1907." In a Morocco Harem.

The Fourth was> very pleasantly spent by the cottagers and thbir friends at the Blutts last .Saturday. Every cottage was not only occupied but filled with family parties and pii-nius on every baud. Many of the cottagers went the night before and remained over Sunday, thus having time to get ready for the day and rest up after wards. As usual there, was a storm during the day but all were given shelter and none got wet. It did not rain long enough to spoil the day however. in the evening there was a large exhibition of fire works contributed to by nearly everyone present. Although all were given a chance at them there was no 3no injured and the day was one long to be remember ed tor its many pleasant associations. TlCINITV ('AMI', ANX ARBOK One of the parties WHO enjoyed the day as well as any was a camp of boys and young men from Trinity English L u t h r e n church, Ann Arbor.

The good, hard common sense' of humanity has solved all tHe^e problems, and t h e modern hair mattress and warm blanketB can hard; ly be much improved on. Beyond these, says the New York Weekly, there ib no virtue whatever in hard b«4a, flat or no pillows, and cold bedrooms. The btuffy feather bed, collector of the perspiration and diseases of trt&ce&sive generations, the bolster, the eider-down quilt, the hard sailclothlike counterpane, both airtight, and the latter heavy as a board, have gone to the, attic or the ash-heap, where they belong, along with the four-poster and its curtains, the nightcap and the warming-pan. It has not been uncommon for the humble birthplaces of American heroes to be reproduced for exhibition at American fairs. There have been the Lincoln cabin, the Grant home, and even the Grant tannery, to say noth ing of the finer homes of the gTeat after they became famous. But it is with curious emotions that one reads of the reproduction In the Irish village at the Franco-British exposition In London this summer of the modest County Antrim home of the ancestors of President McKinley. T h e original interior fittings of the house, including stairs, doors and windows, have been removed and set up in the new building in London, that t h e visitors may B— from what sort of surroundings the family came which produced the h«ad of the American state. When one stops to think of it, remarks the Youth's Companion, this seems to be a splendid illustration of the possibilities In democracy, although the managers of the fair have not planned it for this purpose. In a report to the municipal civil Kervlce commission of New York city the assistant chief examiner says that, as a rule, the biggest and strongest men are mentally brightest and best informed, and that very few of the candidates for employment in the fire department who are rejected for unintelligence or ignorance stand well in the physical examination. This is expert evidence that the old saying, "Mens sana in corpore sano," is a condition as well as an ideal to live up to. In our time two not irreconcilable Ideals are wide-spread. One is a proper contempt for the merely physical, a belief in sheer soul power. The other is a t Increasing respect for the admirable, intricate functions of the body, a return by way of modern physiological knowledge to the Greek delight in a atroiltf, beautiful animal organism That inhibition against a subject of t l » British king marrying his dead wJt»'« sifter leads to wtme curious epia o M l Mvbert Herkomer, the noted •JtMt, wlined to marry a lady who was sister to his deceased wife.

Directly under t h e last shield, on each side of the Washington portrait, was suspended a portrait, one of Thomas Jefferson and the other of Andrew Jackson. On each side of these pictures a large American flag was draped. These flags are 40 by GO feet in dimensions.

BATTLE CREEK MAN SHOOT8 H I 8 PARAMOUR A N D T H E N H I M S E L F , PRIMARIES MUST BEHELD incidents and Happenings In Various Parts of the State, Gathered and Briefly Told. Frank Scott, aged about 46, a manabout town and former gambler, shot and killed Miss Lena Ritchie, a woman with whom he had lived as man and wife, Saturday morning and then turned the revolver upon himself. He died instantly, and the Ritchie woman expired shortly after arriving at Nichols' hospital. Since gambling was suppressed in Battle Creek, Scott bad been employed as confidential man by Proprietor Edward Murphy of the American House. Scott lived in apartments over a saloon in the disreputable district. Neighbors say he was jealous of Misa Ritchie and had accused her of receiving attentions from other men. Sounds of a quarrel were heard last night. The Ritchie woman arose about 9 o'clock in the morning and was dressing in one of t h e rooms when Scott entered and fired point blank at her. The bullet entered her left side and came out at the shoulder. The woman fell dying on t h e floor. The sound of the shot was heard by Arthur Miller, a former policeman, who was being shaved in a barber shop next door. He rushed up t h e stairs and broke into the apartments Just in time to see Scott place the revolver at his temple and fire. He fell dead. THE MARKETS.

Large Amount of Bunting Used. In the auditorium t h e balcony extends all the way around t h e huge building, but the galleries are limited to each end. The front of the balcony and the fronts of the galleries and boxes were draped with buntirsr, 56,000 yards being necessary to complete this part of the decorative scheme. At Intervals of five feet shields, three feet high, were placed. Thousands of yards of bunting were used in draping the corridors of the building and the walls of th« balcony and galleries. Delegates were supplied with small American flags to wave when t h i r feelings reached a pitch that compelled an extraordinary demonstration. Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, three of the main thoroughfares in the city, were revelatir. ns in color. On Fifteenth and i-Mr;ecri?h streets there are eight iron orj;;vnon!;.] electric poles to a block, r.vir on e :r!i side, of the street. On thi ..(' streets the poles were draped niih re 1, white and blue hunting. Wires were si retched across the street from these pole:-', and from each wire two American flags were suspended. The flags hung over the street and were "weighted" to prevent them from becoming tangled and torn by the wind. w e e k .

The party that does not so nominate, as he reads the law, cannot have the names of its candidates for governor and lieutenant-governor printed upon the official ballot on election day next November, The places must be left blank, but voters can write in the names of their choice.

"Hut it's the one I knocked down." "Can't you see the others?" inquired Luella, "No more In sight," said I, after a bolder survey. "They've run away." "Oh, I'm glad," said Luella. "I should have seen them always if you had killed them. Why did they attack Us?" liefore I could reply to Luella's question, a tattoo was beaten upon the door and a muffled shout came from the other side. I stepped down from the stair to listen. "Are you hurt?" shouted Corson. "What's the matter?" "No damage," I returned. "I drove them off." Corson shouted some further words, but they were lost in a sudden murmur of voices and a scuffle of feet that arose behind. "Look out!" cried Luella peremptorily. "Come hack here!" I have said that the passage opened into a little court, and at the end a lamp gave light to the court and the passage. As I turned I saw a confusion of men pouring into the open space and heading for the passage. They were evidently Chjnese, but in the gleam of the lamp I was sure I saw the evil face and snake-eyes of Tom TerriU. H e waa wrapped in the Chinese blouse, but I could not be mistaken. Then with a chorus of yells there was t h e crack of a pistol, and a bullet Struck the door close to my ear. It waa all done in an instant. Before the sound of the shot I dropped, and then made a leap for the stair. "Oh!" cried Luella anxiously; "were you hit?" "No, I'm all right," I said, "but it was a close shave. The gang means mischief." "Well, tell me something I can do," she said. I gave her my small revolver. "Hand that to me when I want it," I said. "If I'm killed, get up the stairs and defend yourself with it. Don't Are unless you have to. We are short of ammunition." I had but three shots in the large six-shooter. "Are they coming?" asked Luella, as the wild tumult of shouts stiller! for a moment and a single voice could be heard. I peered cautiously around the corner. "There's a gentleman in a billycock hat who's rather anxious to have them lead the way," I said; "but they ae<:in to prefer listening to fighting." - The gentleman whose voice was for war I discovered to be my snake-eyed friend. He seemed to be having difficulty with the language, and was eking out his Pidgin-English with pan tumime. "There!" cried Luella with a start; "what's that?" A heavy blow ahook the walls of the building a n d sounded t h r o u g h t h e passage. "Good!" 1 said. "If our friends yonder are going to make trouble they must do it at once. Corson's gut an ux, and the door will be duwu first they know." "Than Heaven!" whispered Luella. And then she began to tremble. The blows followed fast upon each other, but suddenly they were drowned in a chorus of yells, and a volley of ^revolver shots sent the bul-, lets spatting against the door. "Look out, Miss Knapp," I said. "They're coming. Stand close behind me, and crouch down if they get this far." The band was advancing with a frightful din, but was making more noise than speed. Evidently it had little heart for its job. I looked into the yelling mob for the snake-eyed agent of Doddridge Knapp, but could not single him tint. I dared wait no longer. Aiming at the foremost I fired twice at the advancing assailants. There were shouts and screams of pain in answer, and the line hesitated. I gave them the remaining cartridge, and, seizing the smaller weapon from Luella, fired as rapidly as I could pull the trigger. The effect was instantaneous. With a succession of howls and eurses the band broke and ran—all save one man, who leaped swiftly forward with a long knife in his hand. It would have gone hard with me if he had ever reached me, for he was a large and powerful fellow, and my last shot was gone. But in the dark and smoky passage he stumbled over the prostrate body of the first desperado whom I had been fortunate enough to knock down, and fell sprawlins at full length almost at my feet. With one leap I was on his back, and with a blow from the revolver I had quieted him, wrenched the knife from his hand and had the point resting on his neck. Luella gave a scream. "Oh!" she cried, "are you hurt?" "No," I said lightly, "but I don't think this gentleman is feeling very well. He's likely to have a sore head for a day or two." "Come back here," said Lue\la In a peremptory tone. "Those men may come again and shoot you." "I don't think so," said I. "The door is coming down. But, anyhow, I can't leave our friend here. Lie still!" I growled, giving the captive a gentle prod In the neck with the point of his knife to emphasize my desire to have peace and quiet between us. I heard him swear under his breath. The words were foreign, but there was no mistaking the sentiment behind them. "You aren't killing him, are you?" inquired Luella anxiously. "I think it might be a service to the country," I confessed, "but I'll save him for the hangman." "You needn't speak so regretfully," laughed Luella, with a little return of her former spirit. "But here our people come." The ax had been plied steadily, but the door came down with difficulty. At last it was shaking and yielding, and almost as Luella spoke it swayed, bent apart, and broke with a crash, and with a babel of shouts Corson, Porter, Barkhouse and Wainwright, with two more policemen, poured through the opening. "Praise the powers, you're safe!" cried Corson, wringing my hand, while the policemen took the prostrate Chinese in charge. "And is the young lady hurt?" "No harm done," said Luella, "Mr. Wilton is quite a general." I called my men aside and spoke sharply. "You haven't obeyed orders," I sail. "You, Porter, and you, Barkhouse, were to keep close by me to-night. You didn't do it, and it's only by good luck that the young lady and I were not killed. You, Wainwright, Were to follow Tom TerriU. I saw t e r r i l l just now in a gang of Chinese, and you turn up on the other side of a barred door." Porter and Barkhouse looked sheepish enough, but Wainwright protested: "I was following TerriU when he gets into a gang of highbinders, and goes into one of these rooms over here a ways. I waits a while for him, and then starts to look around a bit, and first I knows I runs up against. Porter here hunting for an ax, and crazy as a loon, saying as how you was murdered and they had got t.c save you." "Well, just, keep close to me for the rest of the night and we'll say no more about, it, There's no great, damage done—nothing hut. a sore knuckle." 1 was feeling now the return effects 01 my blow on the coolie's chin. "I don't understand this, Mr. Wilton," said Corson in confidential per pie.xiiy. "I don't see why the haythen \v?r<i after yet." "I saw—I saw Tom J a r rill," »»id. 1, stumbling over the name of Doddridge Knapp. I determined to keep the incident of hla appearance to myself. "I don t see how he worked It," sqld Corson wit*' a shafctf of "the head. "They don't like to stand 'against a white man. it's a quare tale he must have told 'em, and a big sack he must have promised 'em to bring 'em down uu ye. Was It for fetlita' ye they was trylu', or was they for catchlu' yez alive?" "They were trying to take us alive at first, I think, but the bullets whistled rather close for comfort." "I was a little shaky myself, when they plunked against the door," said Corson with a smile. While Corson was attempting to ex plain to Mrs. Bowser the nature of the blackmailing bands of the Chiuese criminal element, Luella said: "Please get us out of this. I can't stand It." I had marveled at her calm amid the excited talk of those about her, but I saw now that it was forced by an effort of her will. She was sadly shaken. "Take my arm," I said. "Mr. Corson will lead the way." I signed to Porter to go ahead and to Barkhouse and Wainwright to follow me. "It's very cluse here." "It's very ridiculous of me," said Luella, with an hysterical laugh, "but I'm a little upset." "I dare say you're not used to it," I suggested dryly. Luella gave me a quick glance,. "No, are you? It's not customary in our family," she said with an attempt at gaiety. I thought of the wolf-figure who had come out of the opium den and the face framed in the lantern Hash of the alley, and was silent. Perhaps the thought of the scene of the passage had come to her, too, for she shuddered and quickened her step as though to escape. "Do you want to go through the theaterf'^«i&k©f CoFs^m. "No—no," whispered Luella, "get me home at once." "We have seen enough sights for the evening, I believe," said I. Mrs. Bowser was volubly regretful, but declined Corson's offer to chaperon her through a night of it. On the way home Luella spoke not a word, but Mrs. Bowser filled the time with a detailed account-of her emotions and sensations while Corson and his men were searching for us and beating down the door. At the door Luella held out her hand impulsively. "I wish I knew whom to t h a n k - but I do thank him—for my safety— perhaps my life. Believe me—I am grateful to a brave man." I felt the warm clasp of her fingers for a moment, and then with a flash of her eyes that set my blood on fire she was gone, and I was staggering down Doddridge Knapp's steps in a tumult of emotions. C H A P T E R X I X . A D«al in Stocks. The wolf-face, seamed with hatred and anger, and hideous with evil passions, that had glowered for a moment out of the smoky frame of the Chinese den, was still haunting me as I forced myself once more to return to the office. Wednesday morning had come, and I was due to meet Doddridge Knapp. But as I unlocked the door, I took some comfort in the reflection that. I could hardly be more unwilling to meet t h e Wolf than he must be to meet me. I had scarcely settled myself In my chair when I heard the key turn in the lock. The door swung open, and in walked Doddridge Knapp. I had thought to find at least some trace of the opium debauch through which I had gained the clew to his strange and contradictory arts But the face before me was a mask that showed no sign of the experience;- through which he had passed. For all that appeared, he might have employed the time since I had left here iwo days before in studying philosophy aud cultivating peace and goodwill with his neighbors. Ah, Wilton," vie said, affably, rub bing his hands with a purring growl. You're ready for a hard day's work, I h o w j " . "Nothing would please me better," I said cheerfully, my repugnance melting away with the magnetism of his presence^ "Is the black dag up today?" £ H e l o o t y $ at m© In surprise for an instant, ancf then growled, still in good humor: " 'No quarter" is the motto to-day." And I listened closely as the King ot the Street gave his orucis £oi Lkt morning. "You understand now," he said at the end of his orders, "that you ar« to sell all the Crown Diamond thai the market will take, and buy all the Omega that you can get below one hundred." "I understand." "We'll feed Decker about as big a dose as he can swallow, I reckon," said the King of the Street, grimly "One thing," I said. " I d like to know If I'm the only oue operating for you." The King of the Street drew his bushy brows down over his eyes and scowled at me a moment. "You're the only one in the big board," he said at last. "There are men in the other boards, you understand." I thought I understood, and sallied forth for the battle. At Doddridge Knapp's suggestion I arranged to do my business through three brokers, and added Lattimer and Hobart to Wallbrldge, aud Bockstein and Eppner. Bockstein greeted me affably: "Velgome to de marget vonce more, Mr. —, Mr. —" "Wilton," said Kppner, assisting his partner in hiH high, dry voice, with cold civility. His blue-black eyes regarded me as but a necessary part of the machinery of commerce. I gave my orders briefly. "Dot is a larch order," said Bockstein dubiously. "You don't have to take it," I was about to retort, when Eppner's highpitched voice interrupted: "It's all right. The customary margin is enough." Wallbridge was more enthusiastic. "You've come just in the nick of time," said the stout little man, swabbing his bald head from force of habit, though the morning was chill. "The market has been drier than a fiih-horn and duller than a foggy morplhg." 'Lattimer and Hobart, after a polite explanation of their rules in regard to margins, and getting a certified chi>ck, became obsequiously anxiouo to "do'my bidding. I distributed the business with such judgment that I felt pretty sure our plan's' 'could not in any way be exposed, and took my place at the rail in the board room. The opening proceedings were comparatively tame. I detected a sad falling-off in the quality and quantity of lung power and muscular activity among the buyers and sellers in the pit. At the call of Confidence, Lattimer and Hobart began feeding shares to the market. Confidence dropped five points in half a minute, and the pit began to wake up. There was a roar and a growl that showed me the animals were still alive. The Decker forces were taken by surprise, bat with a hasty consultation came gallantly to the rescue of their stock. At the close of the call they had forced it back and one point higher than at the opening. This, however, was but a skirmish of outposts. The fighting began at the call of Crown and Diamond. It. opened at 63. The first bid was hardly made when with a bellow Wallbridge charged on Decker's broker, filled his bid, and offered a thousand shares at 62. There was an answering roar from a hundred throats and a mob rushed on Wallbridge with the apparent intent of tearing him limb from limb. Wallbridge's offer was snapped up at once, but a few weak-kneed holders of the stock threw small blocks on the market. These were taken up at once, and Decker's brokers were biding 65. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Effect of Sun Batns, "The taking of sun baths la QO# of the most healthful things In the world," said Evan T. Roberts, of Cincinnati. "Several years ago I visited Germany, and while there was taken down with nervous prostration. I called In the best specialists of Berlin. They told me I needed more exercise, more fresh air and more sunlight. The first thing they made me do was to take sun baths.

Not A l l the Wealth of New York, She Declared, Would Tempt »or to Part w i t h the Books He Loved. 1 New Yorker who returned a few days ago from the CatsklU mountains tells of an old woman he met, who lives in a cottage jnst outside the little town of Cairo. This woman, a Mrs. Gary, he discovered, has a valuable collection of books which h e - , longed to her husband, who at one time kept a second-hand store .In Washington, D. C , and who died about 20 years ago. ' 1 stumbled on the little wooden house and Its occupant by chance,'* said he, "and It is a meeting I s t a l l long remember. I followed her up a n imcarpeted stair, through a bare room to where the books were. They lined a dosen rough shelves and littqred t h e floor. Evidently they had not beesi disturbed for years. Piles of handsome volumes in worn leather covers lay smeared in cobwebs and dusL I stooped down to pick up a book. " ' S t o p ! ' she cried, grabbing my arm. 'You must not touch them! They wete his, and you must not touch them!' "Gradually, however, she relented- I was allowed to open some of the volumes under protest. Rare books they were. Three first editions, which Jay half hidden in a pile of broken plaster would have brought, I believe, a total of $500 at a book connoisseur's sale In New York; one copy of Poe, which I would have liked much to possess, lay in a moldy condition on the sill ot the little attic window; several rare volumes of Dickens' works and an equally rare copy of Longfellow I found behind an immense traveling trunk, squeezed and scratched deplorably. Treasure met my hand and eye everywhere. " 'Why,' I protested, 'if you took these books to New York and placed them with proper persons you'd make a small fortune.' " 'To New York?' she echoed, rasing her hands in alarm. 'No, indeed, all the wealth of New York would not tempt me to part with one of them. They were his; that's enough for me. "Take care of my books, Jane"—that was about the last words he said to me before he died. I have respected his wish, for they are here as he left them. You are the first to lay a finger on them, and you'll likely be the last, for before I follow him I'll make sure that his books'll fall Into ao strange hands. Here, during the latter years of his life, on the oak chair under the skylight, he would sit for hours and days on end with no company but his books. That night that was his la3t he was here for hours. When he came down to the sitting room he could not rest, and he said to m e : "I'm going back to my books, Jane, and may read till late. Get to bed if you wish, and never mind me." So I went to bed, and on awakening at the first glimmer of dawn I saw I was still alone. I cried "Andrew!" but no answer came; then I stole out and went up stairs. Ah. I remember as if it were yesterday. He sat here with his head down on his chest—dead. This book was In his left hand and his right gripped the chair arm like a viae. That other book on the floor lay as it lies now, open with its face down. There I have left it lie. No hand shall touch them.' And so we walked silently out of tho musty room, and she locked the door." —New York Press. The T r u i t y .

On the eve of the Jj'ruueo-Uerwuu war when the Emperor Louis Napoleon entered upon the conflict which ended so dlsuairuubly to himself und QIB countrymen u couple of strangers appeared at a d e r m a u town. They brought with them a large packing c&be, which on their urrlval waa card e d to a hotel. Here the unknown via Itora remained some time and eventually disappeared without paying their bill, which amounted to a considerable sum. The landlord, whose curiosity had often I>eeu uroueed with reference to the possible eonteutw of the case, ut last determined to opeu It, and on dolug so found a handsomely designed and richly upholstered state chair. This was :«loi ued with the French Imperial arms, eagle and Louis Napoleon's monogram, and Iwneath it was a musical box which played when the cushion was sat upon. It is supposed thut the throne for such it is believed to have been---in the event of success attending the French army was to have been used by the emperor at Berlin after the capture of the German metropolis. Fate, however, spoiled the imperial plans; hence the sudden and precipitate flight of the custodians of the chair. The widow of the hotel keeper a few years later sent It to England, where It eventually found a purchaser. Stray Stories. One Gone. "He gave his wife a toy terrier, didn't he?"

They havei been used tor iitortng two cropa and it I were to build a doceu cribs and granaries 1 would use no other floor for several reasons, via.: It la rat proof, fully as Cheap or cheaper than lumber, economical of apace, as no Joists are accessary, and everlasting if properly constructed. My building Is on a rock foundation put well into1 the ground, and laid In cement mortar, the Bills being bed ded in cement mortar.

If there is a better grain floor in Lyon county I do not know who owns It. I have a room floored in the same way for our cream separa tor, also one in our henhouse. They are all right, and no mistake about it. Here are the details of my plan to? > concrete floors: A point of importance I is to anchor the sills so firmly that I they can not be sprung away from the concrete by the weight of grain against the sides of the building. My plan was ( as follows: To rod-the sills together, with, say, one-half iach iron rods,# the concrete to surround the rods.. Perhaps the following Illustrations will serve to show what I mean: By "L" Bills I mean a two by four or two by six laid flat in cement on wall and one of; same dimensions \ placed on edge of the flat piece. Of! course the t- til must be frame and j well spiked before ; being placed on the wall. The studd i n g m a y b e j framed and when placed on the sill it appears as in Tig. 2; 1 being the foot of atud, 2 the vertical portion, and 3 the flat portion of sill. The anchor rod should pasH through 3 and the floor surface be flush with 3. The good roads problem is fairly "up to" the people of the United Status. Our country road*, generally, are a disgrace as yum pared with those of older civilised count ilea, and, with the vastly diversified conditions existent here, many new pussies will arise which must be solved before our highwayi will be a aource of pride and profit. There is a vast dlflerence between a Colorado road-bed and the flat one, free from atone, stretching across the prairies of Illinois or some other Mississippi valley state. All kinds of good roads must we have in this country eventually. First, we must learn to spend mopey on our highways and to recognise the fact that suoh expenditure j» a good investment, declares the Prairie Farmer. A realization of this truth aeems gradually dawning upon the community everywhere, and this la a good portent. The making of better roads all over the United States) is an Immediate necessity and their making and maintenance will be expensive. This condt tion must be accepted. Meantime, we may learn something by a study of the methods of making and cost ot maintenance of roads in countries where conditions are somewhat like those existing in many of !.,»»•. our states.

Ordinary macadam BAMBOOZLES H I M . is disrupted by the suction of automobiles and the heavy weight of traction vehicles, but Is claimed by many drivers to be the beat kind for horse traffic. Smooth composition roads seem durable for motor vehicles, but are objected to by many horse drivers as slippery and dangerous. At present no kind of road appears satisfactory to both elements, but experiments are being made which it is hoped will eventually result In satisfying the reasonable requirements of every kind of traffic. As to the cost of maintaining the roads in different English countries. the consul gives figures surprising to Americans. The average cost per mile of maintaining the roads of Nottingham last year was $322. The cost of maintaining all the roads in Hampshire for the year was $316,000. These appear grave sums, but the people of England And the expenditure profitable. Eventually our own views will broaden on the good roads question. The, Tangled Web. Charley Is the white-haired negrt man employed by a southern family on Charlotte street. And Charley is cau tious about lending anything. The other day a man new to the neighbor hood appeared at the door and asked if he could borrow a spade. "No, sir," said Charley. "Ain't go1 no spade." "Haven't you any sort of a shovel I could use to dig fishworms with?" "No, sir, ain't got no shovel." The stranger hesitated a momenl and then asked: "Do you suppose the folks next dooi have a spade they'd lend me?" "No, sir," replied Charley, promptly "they's all the time a-borrowln' our'n.' —Kansas City Times. Romance and Reality.

Provides Eaey Method of Putting the Hay in the Barn. a • The accompanying illustration shows an easy method of putting hay in the barn where there is no hay track at a cost of four or Ave dollars, says a correspondent of Prairie Farmer. A, B, C and D are single blocks and E is the hay fork. Use a one-Inch rope and a small three-eighths-inch trip Bells. Bells are understood to have had their origin-in China, but at so remote ', a time that no precise date can be given. T h e ^ first use was to clear the j air of evil spirits and to drive off the storms. Old European records tell ' how the tolling of bells kept the i devils from assaulting believers; hence their connection with churches. Bells may be traced in Europe back to the sixth century, but were not generally introduced into the western church much before the eighth century. W I F E WON FARM NOTES.

Low lands can be often greatly lm proved by making a way for the water to drain off, even though the drainage be not resorted to Tile •draining Is always desirable, hut. for many reasons many farmers cannot •drain the land they would. Rut abundant outlets should be provider], so that the water may run off without hindrance. Backwater is one of the very great causes of short crops on many fields. Keep the sweet potato vines con fined to the row, not allowed to spread All over the surface. Fellow That Doeen't 8pray. One of the complaints that come to this office is that the orchards that are sprayed and taken care of are infested with insects from orchards that are not sprayed and are not taken care of. Sometimes in a community of orchardista all will spray but one, and that one will permit his orchard to be a breading place for all kinds of insects that ravage the orchards. There is nothing to be done in such a case but to apply moral suasion. The passing of laws does no good, for there is no general machinery for enforcing laws. It ia assumed that, citizens will take rm them selves the enforcing of laws, which they will not do. The fellow that doesn't spray ahould have the goodness to look Into the matter and take effective measures to prevent his orchard from becoming a detrimen' to others. Swamp Lands That Need Potash. On every acre of reclaimed swamp land several dollars' worth of potash should be uaed every year, arul this would each year bring bark returns greater than the coat, of the annual dressing.

There Is a very well-known xUan In Urooklyn who is particularly proud of hit* grandson, a bright hoy of four years and a few months. Hut, like all fond Krandpaa, he bellovvd teasing amusing to the child sa well aa to himself—and he recently received the shock he deserved. The little lad was playing iadustrlouBly wltti a doll when the proud grandpa said: "My! playing with a doll—*hy your name must be Susie—not Ralph." No word from the boy, who kept right on playing with the doll. "Susie," Buld the grandpa, Just rushing to his fate, "do you like ctolls?" The boy moved perceptibly, but clung to the doll. "Dear little Susie—you used to be a boy." The boy lifted his head indignantly and with deep pathoB, sale: "Grandpa, I hate to tell you so, bul you're a d fool." Great was the consternation of the grandfather and amazement of the mother, who tragically ordered the boy to his room, while she cal'ed attention to the tears that rolled down her cheeks at such a fearful ofrense. Finally she told the little fellow that he might be forgiven If he begged bin grandpa'B pardon. But the t>oy believed hlg grandpa the offender and said so. His mother sternly read him u lesson against profanity, and especially about disrespect to grandparents. The little fellow was touched, and going over to hin grandpa said, compromtsingly: "I am sorry I called you a d rool—but if I cannot call yuu a fool can I call you a lemon?" Hereafter grandpa will ctil Ralph by hiB right name.—Brooklyn Eagle. I E F 9 I E SUBSTITUTES. DR. H O G G L E r S Sick Headache. Liver and Anti-Bilious Pills S u g a r c o a t e d .

The naming of a baby is considered important even among people whom we are apt to regard as uncivilized. And, curiously enough, these very folk contrive to avoid th« arguments that so often ensue when father and mother disagree over whether the little stranger shall be called Jack or Marmaduke, Priecilla or Jane. Tfte Mahometan father and mother each write the choice of a name on a slip of paper and place both in the Koran. Whichever slip is drawn first is the name given to the child. A pretty Egyptian custom Is to light three candles, naming each after a god or some exalted personage. The child is called after the candle which burns longest. Hindu mothers name their children, paterfamilias not having a word to say in the matter. The naming ceremony usually takes place when the baby Is about 12 days old, and a flower name is usually chosen. Chinese girls are simply numbered one, two, or three, until they reach years of discretion, when they are allowed to choose a name for themselves. The boys, however, are given a temporary name until they are 20, when pa decides what magnificent appellation they shall rejoice in for the rest of their lives.—N. Y. WeekSv. H « r Sublime Admiration. "Oh, dear, will you look at it again?" sighed Mrs. Howard Newcome in an ecstasy of bliss. "Isn't it magnificent? Turn this way now. A side glance brings out the traditional beauty. I have never seen anything so perfectly exquisite. Dear, do come over here and look at it from this view. One would never believe that such a lovely thing existed in the world. The perspective is simply grand. How inspiring and noble. Here is another view from the right. Doesn't, it show off even to better advantage? I am simply entranced with admiration." What is Mrs. Newcome looking at? Some masterpiece in a picture gallery? No, indeed. It is an old kitchen chair she purchased at a second-hand store, which she thinks is a "genuine antique."— The Bohemian. A Qood Dodga.

We do not wiitate to say that a timely use of Oastoria would save a majority of these preeiona lives, Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are Occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less ojjium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisonsL In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher.
