Thn Putnam township Sunday School convention which wdsj'anuounced lor Sunday afternoon I last, way a very successful one, and the program was listened to by a large audience, the church being tilled to the gallery. One ot the remarkable things about the program was that every number as announced iu laat week's issue ot the DISPATCH responded. The music under the leadership of F. M. Grieve was one ot the pleasing things of the convention. A chorus of twenty or more voices besides special music by the Ladies and Male quartetts, and a duet by Misa Grace and Master Harold Grieve, made the music part of the program a success. Hesides papers from members of the two schools, Mrs. Ada Vincent of Howell gave an interesting paper on the Home Department work. This is a department that is but little known, ! but is doing wonders in getting peo- I pie who cannot attend the schools, to devote a half hour a week to the study I of the Bible. There is a membership I of 45 in the M. E. Home Department here, and it is self supporting as well \ as assisting in interesting many of them more and more in Sunday school I work. | Rev, G. H. White ot Alpena, one ot ! the American Sunday School Union < Missionaries, was present and gave i some interesting facts about the work | in Home Missions. Several barrels of 1 clothing, books and toys have been • sent him from this village during the | past, and we think a bigger interest will be taken in this work after hearhis talk. Taking it altogether the convention was very successful, and we predict even abetter one (if possible) in the future. l/fil - L - r J - - L Bath Room Toilet Needs! of every description a t t h i s p h a r m a c y .

ANDREWS, f u b l i s n c r . • - • ' '• * • - — ' * I M C K N » T . - - - MICHIGAN r~rr METCHN1K0FFS MIRACW& Two years ago Prof. Metyjhnikofl, the director of the Paateur Institute in Paris, promulgated his famous theory that a diet of sour milk would check the ravages of old age. Since than he baa made additional researches resultlug, we are told, in additional disooverlea uf Inestimable value. In a word, the profesaor Is now satisfied that he has discovered the cause of death and the means of retarding it, thus solving the problem of longevity. While his specific Is still a secret, it Is known that he proceeds on the principle that death is due to the formation of putrefactive bacteria in the large intestine and that for this process a corrective is within reach. The presumption Is that inoculation is the method to be pursued. When man reaches his prime, instead of being permitted to take the downgrade, he will simply visit a lab* oratory, receive a vitalizing Injection and remain, to all intents and purposes, immortal. The promise so extended is so delightful that skepticism seems invidious. Yet how many of us are there who, even on such impeccable authority as that of Prof. Metchnikoff, will nurse the golden dream of physical Immortality? Both Christian teaching and the teachings of Nature herself point the other way. Using the census of 1900 as a basis of calculation, it is estimated that the census of 1910 will show that the school population of the United States numbers probably 14,000,000 persons. The school army ten years ago was 13,367,147. Of that number 4,266,302 persons were between the ages of five and nine, and 6,453,394 ranged from nine to fourteen years old. About 13 per cent of the whole number were from fifteen to seventeen years of age, and five per cent wore eighteen or upward. Of all the children between the ages of five and nine reported In the census of 1900 . only about one-half attended rchool; of those ranging from nine to fourteen, four-fifths attended, and of those from fifteen to seventen a little more than two-fifths. Upward of 90 per cent of the entire number were white. A school army of 14,000,000 for 1910 will be a national asset worth having. It will constitute a more convincing demonstration of the country's resources and strength than an army of 1,000,000 adults equipped with rifles and cannon. A severer penalty than a fine should be awarded by the law to the clasB of miscreants who make a point of infesting the streets to insult respectable working girls. Young women who are compelled by the exigencies of life to support themselves, and who can choose neither the hour nor the place at which they must be on the public streets, should be especially protected from the scoundrels who hold that the fact a woman is compelled to earn her living is legitimate cause for insult, says the Baltimore American. If there is one class of persons for whom the streets should be safe, It is the young working girls of the community, who, as a class, are deserving of sincere respect MURDERS THE MAN It is not unlikely that commerce soon will bring to market the mixture of tea and flowers which was one of China's state secrets when the dowager empress held the reins of power. The empress was almost as famous for her tea as for her iron grip on the government All guests at court were permitted to drink of the old woman's favorite brew, and tea experts tried to match the blend after they had failed to worm the secret from servants in attendance on the empress. Every attempt, however, to produce as delicious a cup of tea failed, and it was not until after the empress' death that the secret leaked out The rapid development cf the aeroplane suggests that It will not be long before some daring aviator will undertake to cross the Atlantic. It will be done, eventually, and tha powerful modern steamship may yet find that Its most formidable competitor will be not on the seas, but In the air. Throughout the country there is a clamor for more laws. Some people seem to think that when an evil appears all that is to bo done Is to "ma*e a law." It isn't more IPW that is needed. It is more of the law-abiding spirit in the people that makj the laws lor themselves. 8AMUEL MORLEY SHOT ON LONE PINE ROAD BY ANGRY WOMAN. MARRIAGE REFUSED HER Jealous of the Man's Fiancee and Hinting at Wrongs Suffered, She Coolly Admits the Murder. Half crazy with anger on learning that the man whom she had always considered her sweetheart was to marry another. Bertha Leitzau shot and mortally wounded Samuel Morley Thursday evening on Lone Pine road, Mich. Morley died Friday morning about 7:30 o'clock. Bertha Leftsau Is in Jail awaiting trtal on a charge* of murder. Fanny Patchett, the pretty young fiancee is in tears. She has donned black for the man she was to marry. In an Interview Miss Leitzau said: "He's dead now. That's all there Is to It. I have no regrets. Two weeks ago I learned that he was going to marry Fannie Patchett, and I went to Detroit and bought a revolver. Last night 1 was to go to Detroit to a church social. I took the revolver along because the road to the car was dark. The car I took only went as far as Birmingham, and I decided to return. "I got off at the Lone Pine Tree road. In the dark I met him hurrying to see his new sweetheart. I told him that I was going to the car and was afraid. I asked him to accompany me. As we walked I argued with him. If he had treated me right even then I do not believe I would have hurt him. But he laughed and sneered atd said he never intended to marry me. All this after the years he had used me as a plaything. "I pulled the revolver out of my purse and fired at him. He was only a few feet away. I pulled the trigger twice. They say he was on the ground when I shot the second time. I don't know. I was crazy then. I ran down the road without waiting to see whether he was alive or not. Will Soon Open. After a careful examination of the damage done to the Poe lock in the ramming of the upper gates by the steamer Ellwood, Supt. Sabin, chief of the canal staff, estimates the shutdown will be of no greater than a week's duration and very possibly less. The damaged gate is being removed and one of the upper guard gates will be utilized in its place during the few remaining weeks of the navigation season. The government officials are carefully investigating the circumstances which led up to the accident in an effort to fix the responsibility. To date all the evidence seems to point to a confusion of signals in the engine room of the Ellwood, which was in charge of Floyd Lyon as chief engineer. The closing of the bier Poe lock to vessels is already causing congestion of traffic both up and down bound. A large fleet is waiting to lock through the Canadian canal, which alone is available for all of the larger deepdraft beats. The boats imprisoned by the accident were locked down and later passed up through the Canadian canal. The Crop Report.

Burned the Brewery. The Insurance companies which have sustained losses on account of the recent, destruction of the brewery at Manistique by fire have offered a reward of $250 for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the persons who started the blaze. This reward has been supplemented by an equal sum, offered by the owners of the plant. Whether the brewery will be rebuilt will not be decided until the local option question Is out of the way. "Michigan ought to havp statewide prohibition. This local option hasn't settled anything in the state except thtt many people are against it," said Eugene W. Chafln, who was prohibition candidate for president in 1908.

Grand Rapids high school fraternities have obtained an opinion from the city attorney declaring the action of the board of education in barring them too drastic. The frats will now demand a retraction. Mrs. Kate Corbett, of Traverse City, has begun suit against three local saloonists for $2,500 damages.

Panay, an Island of the Visayas group, Philippines, was crossed by a typhoon last Sunday." The storm was especially severe in Capls province, where many homes were destroyed. Five thousand persons are homeless and much property and crops were destroyed. The wind, which was of hurricane fury, was accompanied by heavy rains, and much of the country is flooded. WIRELETS. The much-coveted rank of majorgeneral in the army was conferred upon William H. Carter, in command of the department of Luzon in the Philippine islands. As the result of the two days' prevention of infant mortality conference, brought to a close in New Haven, Conn., a society for the study and prevention of Infant mortality was formally organized. At Saturday's session of the national conference of the general committee on foreign missions of the Methodist church, at Albany, N. Y., over $825,000 was apportioned for work in the missionary fields of the world during the next year. The money is divided as follows: Eastern Asia, $250,755; southern Asia, $224,- 876; Africa, $44,269; South America and Mexico, $150,799; Europe, $158,- 238. Taking Car* of Yourttlf.

It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient, instead of resorting to the usual list of medicines. There are some truly scientific physicians among the present generation who recognize and treat conditions as they are and should be treated regardless of the value to their pockets. Here's an instance: "Four years ago I was taken wltk severe gastritis and nothing stay on my stomach, so that I the verge of starvation. .>.»< "I heard of a doctor who has a summer cottage near me—a specialist from. N. Y., and as a last hope, sent for hlra. "After he examined me carefully he> advised me to try a small quantity of Grape-Nut a at first, then aa my stomach became stronged to eat more.

The somnolent spirits have taken their after-dinner nap and the more strenuous ones have come back from a brisk afterdinner tramp. It's growing colder outside. Twilight is approaching. "^^fgod Within, around the open fire, housemates and guests have gathered for an evening of Thanksgiving jollity. And now what shall we do? No dry, brain-racking game of whist, no stylish hand of bridge—nothing like that is meant for this glorious occasion. Any kind of cards is too exclusive, too cold blooded for this hour. No, next on the Thanksgiving program is an evening of good, wholesome, silly, jolly games. A few suggestions in the line of games of this sort may help the housemother make this Thanksgiving evening is an especially jolly one. "Telegram" is a good game to get every one into good humor as quickly as possible. Supply each member of the company with a pencil and a sheet of paper. Each person is then to say offhand some letter of the alphabet. The letters, in the order named, are taken down by the whole company. The stint set is for each one to write a telegram made up of words beginning with the letters given. All the letters must be used, the original order must be preserved and no extra words can be added. When the telegrams are completed they are gathered in, mixed up and dealt out again that responsibility for and personality in them may be impossible to place. After they have been read, a new set of letters is given and new telegrams 'composed. Very shortly each one in the company will be chuckling with delight over his own efforts and roaring with laughter over the ingenious and ridiculous conglomerations that will be read. From A B C D E F G H I J, for instance, one might produce "Aunt Betsy's cow dying"— "Editha flunked German" — "Holocaust imminent, Jane." Another might make of it "All broken-hearted. Come directly. Ever faithful George has lgnominiously jilted." ''Gossip" is great fun, though no one wants to play it more than a few minutes. Let the entire company stand side by side on a straight line. Then let the person who stands at end whisper something very ly in the ear of his next door »bor. The minute he stops whlsfMffng, the next door neighbor imparts the message just as swiftly and Just,as secretly to his neighbor and so on down the line. When the last person In line is reached the originator of the message tella the company what he aaid and the man at the other end what was naid to him. Of course, the original remark has been garbled. The moral and the laughter are both obvious. Games in which two of the company, confederates, mystify the rest are always fun, although they can, of course, be played only once. Prime among these is "The Wand Passes." One of the company is sent from the room. Another, who is in league with the first, promises that when he holds the wand, which may be a cane or umbrella, over soma member of the company, the exiled member will be able to tell over whom. The door must be left open. The confederates explain that this in order not to interrupt the current of electricity between them> The magic-monger allows the company to chat a few minutes after his confederate has departed. Then he suddenly break* In upon the conversation, waving the wand and saying in a sepulchral tone, "The wand passes." The exile answers from the next room very solemnly, "Let it pass." Again comes the announcement, "The wand passes." and again the answer, "Let it pass." The third time the possessor of the wand holds it over some head and inquires, "The wand rests over whom?" Then Is the exile promptly to answer, "Over so-and-so," naming the right person. The trick is accomplished by having it arranged that the confederate who remains in the room shall hold the wand over the person who spoke last before the announcement, "The wand passes." All the exile in the next room need be able to do is to distinguish the voices of the company. % Another mystifying game is called "Chinese writing." Take grandfather's cane in your hand; request your confederate to step into the hall. All de-s cide upon a rather short word, say, "meat." Both of you understand that you will tap with your cane for the vowels according to their regular order; a, one tap; e, two taps; 1, three taps; o, four taps; u, five taps, and that the first letter of the first word of every remark that you make after your confederate enters will be a consonant of the word she is to guess. The taps of the cane will be the vowels according to their order. As she enters you begin marking on the floor with your cane marvellous characters, which the whole company will watch eagerly. As you write you say casually, "Must I write fast?" Here she gets the "M." Then you make two heavy taps as you write, which, according to the code means "E." After a little more writing make another single tap for the "A." Then say naturally, "Try to follow me very closely," which gives her the "T" to complete the word. Go on writing mysteriously for a moment or two and then ask her if she has read the word all right. She will doubtless be able to tell the company, to their great astonishment. With a little Ingenuity you can make your remarks sound very natural and hence make the trick seem very puzzling. If you have in your company any person good natured enough to appreciate a joke on himself, the following trick will furnish much fun: Announce that you will hypnotize any friend who is willing to follow your directions. Retire from the room and take two cups and saucers. Put your own carefully aside. Then take the other saucer and hold it over a lamp or candle until the under part is covered with soot. Put the cup back in the saucer. Fill the cups with water. Then tell your friend who is to be hypnotized that it is impossible for the spell to work unless he follow your directions exactly. Present him with a cup and saucer. Tell him to hold these in his left hand, and, looking straight into your eyes and nowhere else, to do exactly what you do. Then dip the fingers of your right hand in the water, rub them on the under side of his saucer is thick with cabalistic passes over your forehead and cheeks. The patient to be hypnotized will do the same, and as the under Hide of his saucer is thick with soot every cabalistic pass will leave its mark. The effect on the part of the company who are entirely unprepared for this denouement soon enlightens the victim. The soot scrubs off easily and there is no harm dnne. provided you have been wise enough to select a good natured person for your hypnotic influence. KING ROAD DRAG IS SIMPLE One of the Moat Important Improvers Ever Made—Lasts Longer with Steel Face. The King split log road drag la one of the simplest and most Important improvers ever invented. By using a drag of this kind after each rain, the road may be easily and cheaply kept In good condition ail aummer. The most successful road mastera commence when the tope of the frost nobs begin to get dusty in the early spring months, and before the ground gets hard enough to form clods. It must be dry enough on top so the mud will not stick to the steel scrapers. It is one man's business to watch the condition of the road and use the scraper when the time is right. The drag is easily made from a log split in two in the* middle. The log should be eight feet long and the halves pinned together with two-inch rounds as shown in the c u t A board is placed on these rounds for the driver to stand on, as some additional weight usually is necessary to make LOSS IN PREPARING APPLES King Road Drag. the scrapers cut deep enough. Sometimes the logs are used without steel facings, but an old piece of steel wagon tire, saw blade, or some other suitable material may be picked up in the blacksmith shop and pressed into service. The drag does better work and lasts longer if faced with steel. One chain is longer than the other to permit the earth to Bllde along the face of the scraper towards the center of the road. The use of the drag smooths the road and rounds it so the surface is even and the water runs off quickly after a rain. These are the reasons for the good work accomplised by a tool so simple and cheap. OEVICE FOR LOADING FODDER Illustration Herewith 8hown of One Where a Large Amount of Shock Is Handled. There are a large number of contrivances made for loading shock fodder onto a wagon, some better than others. The illustration herewith shown is one that is in use in some localities where a good deal of fodder is cut up. The rear ladder is substituted with a stout post, well anchored to the rack, on top of which is a pole so ad- A Fodder Loader. justed as to be able to reach out to one side for the fodder and the other with proper leverage. A rope or a chain attached to the short end of pole is thrown around the shock about half way up, and a fork handle thrust through above it BO it will stay there and the whole shock is lifted on the rack. F A R M NOTES. Keep the harness oiled. Weed out the scrubs and breed for type; but be sure you have a definite idea as to what type you want and why. The growing of legumes In older settled agricultural communities is no longer a matter of choice; it is a necessity. If the cow's teats have a tendency to get hard, keep a bottle of vaselina handy and use it occasionally to soften the parts. Germany's acreage In potatoes reaches the enormous number of 8,000.000. The production varies from 40,000,000 to 45,000.000 tons during a season. If the farm is 100 acres In area it wtll be found more profitable to sell sheep for mutton rather than to sell them to other people to get ready for the market. There is nothing like plenty of good fresh air in living and sleeping rooms, whether the rooms bo for the occupancy of man or for animals. This holds good for both winter and aummer. Qvge p* Considerable Amount Is Lost • by. IrnjMoberly Picking and • « p Pa*Wn* .*hf.Crop. f , q3Y IL B. JIU8HINQ.) The best method 1 have ever tried is picking into baskets. These baskets should be aoout nali-bushel round baskets with drop handles. The baskets should be smooth on the Inside—that is, free from strips around the Inside or bottom. They should be lined with burlap to prevent bruising, and a short Iron book should be attached to the handle to suspend the basket from the limbs, so as to enable the picker to use both , hands. The great advantage In using the basket I find lies largely in the fact that if the apples are carefully placed In the same they are not bruised. The worst objections I have to the baskets are that they are not so handy aa the sack and that sometimes careless pickers are disposed to toss apples Into them as they set upon the ground or hang upon a limb a few feet away. My experience is that apples packed from the table and immediately placed in cold storage (If they are to be put Into cold storage) will give by far the better results. This method adds two to four months to the keeping qualities of the fruit You cannot afford to let your fruit lie under the trees or in a building for two or three weeks before you barrel. Every day's delay In packing and shipping will lose you money and quality In your fruit, and if you are not the loser the party who buys It is. Fruit grown In a warm latitude or harvested during a warm September or October must be quickly handled. But when properly handled at picking time, as I have suggested, there will not be much room for complaint A good barrel Is essential if you wish to store your fruit, haTe it keep well and sell well. We suffer from lack of good cooperage. At tight barrel is the best and the better it is made the better results you will have. There will be less loss from shrinkage of fruit from rats and mice and other causes. In my orchard I have eight pickers and six sorters and barrelers in each gang. A good strong table, constructed of light, strong material, is provided. This table is set in the center of 16 trees; sometimes, if the fruit is scarce and the trees are very small, the table is set in the center of 24 or 36 trees. Four or six rows are carried forward at once and the table is moved along the center rows and set in the middle of the square at each move. I usually have one man that nails the hoops, the head liners, and takes out the heads of barrels, as it prevents loss in shipping and facilities in the examination and inspection of fruit in storage. If you have good fruit and it Is worth money in uie market to warrant you in so doing, you should make two grades; one a strictly No. 1 or fancy grade and another which will take fruit that is sligthly defective but good for immediate use, commonly termed No. 2 in the market Usually it will pay aB well or better to sell this No. 2 fruit to the evaporator or the cider mill instead of putting it in expensive barrels, and to this add the cost of freight and commissions, getting no more and perhaps not as much as you would have realized In bulk. A GREAT ANNOYANCE. Clean the Chicken House. The dropping boards should be cleaned at least every other day, and then they should be sprinkled with coarse sand, or even sifted hard coal ashes. If the droppings are allowed to accumulate and the fowls are forced to roost over them, inhaling the deadly gases that escape, weakening their constitutions and making them prey to roup and other ailments. Mice Gnaw Trees. Mice are attracted to an orchard in winter by a covering of dead vegetation on the ground. If the vegetation can be plowed under in the fall it will destroy their nesting and hiding places. Some farmers burn the dead grass and weeds in their orchards in the fall, but this is not good practice, as there is danger of killing the trees by fire, and the dead vegetation is needed for a mulch and to supply humus. Wrapping the base of the trees with tarred paper, to the height of one to two feet will prevent mice and rabbits from gnawing them in winter. Fine •wire netting wrapped around the base of the young trees will answer the same purpose. Plow in Fall. Whore you intend to sow oats next spring or plant corn very early it will pay to plow the ground this fall. It Is especially valuable to fall plow where the ground is heavily covered with weeds. During the winter the soil will have plenty of time to seiT^.e down firmly upon the traah and be come a good seed bed next summer. Kidney Dlsaaaa Shows Many Painful and Unpleasant Symptoms. George S.

POOR WITNESS FOR FRIEND Deacon's Brief Emphatic Testimony Probably Somewhat Impressed the Jury. Deacon Stephen Potter, one of the pioneers of Utica, N. Y., was a man of great eccentricity but high moral character. The deacon will speak the truth and shame the devil," was often said of him. On one occasion a friend was engaged in a lawsuit in regard to some land a few miles from Utica. He held the land at a high price. During the trial he called Deaeon Potter as a witness, to prove how valuable the land was. The deacon waa sworn and asked if he knew the land. 'Yes," he replied, "I know every foot of it." "What <fo you think it is worth, Mr. Potter?" was the next question. The old matr paused a moment and then said, slowly: "If I had as many dollars—as my yoke of oxen—could draw—on a sled—on glazed ice—I vow—I would not give—a dollar an acre for it!"—Youth's Companion. SKIN TROUBLES CURED. Two Little Girls Had Eczema Very Badly—In One Case Child's Hair Came Out and Left Bare Patchee. Cuticura Met with Great Success. "I have two little girls who have been troubled very badly with eczema. One of them had it on her lower limbs. I did everything that I could hear of for her, but It did not give In until warm weather, when it seemingly subsided. The next winter when it became cold the eczema started again and also in her head where it would take the hair out and leave bare patches. At the same time her arms were sore the whole length of them. I took her to a physician, but the child grew worse all the time. Her sister's arms were also affected. I began using Cuticura Remedies, and by the time the second lot was used their skin was soft and smooth. Mrs. Charles Baker, Albion, Me., Sept. 21, '08." Potter DTU« A Cbem.

'the train had arrived there was go- In the. office of the if the editor watt to be in&n who was aping to do was on, the train. His on hty shoulders and he w o r ^ l & o ^ * * d r a ^ r s and two big revolvers. There was' a grim determination on his facer This fNejtua«is in boots confided to the man in tfce beat with him that the name or the man he was going up to Gold Gulch to kill was Swauaon and that his own name was Fuller. "Hiram Fuller, from Mlzzury," he said by way of introduction. I decided, as 1 sat in the seat behind him and was forced to hear his conversation, that in the matter of names the editor had the best of it, but of course I knew nothing of his ability to shoot. I also learned from nis confidences, as did nearly everybody ejse ill the coach, that it had been many years slace he left his native state, and I judged that he had readily become acclimated in the West. During the long afternoon ride I engaged in conversation with Fuller, tjhe Infuriated, as I had mentally named him. I learned that he was a raachman at Sand Creek and that Swanson had been employed by him. Swanson had made love to his daughter, and that was the cause of all the trouble. Fuller had drivej^Jitm^away at the point of a revolver six months before, and now his daughter Susie had disappeared. She had been gone a month, ostensibly on a visit to some friends twenty miles away, and her father had just learned that she had not been there. His anger was awful. "Swanson's stole her, that's what lie's done," Fuller almost shouted. His wrath increased as he talked, for he believed that Swanson could not make a living for the girl. The ranchman admitted that he knew next to nothing of the young man, except that he had come out West to teach school, and upon failing to find a school had taken up the occupation of a cowboy for more than a year. He also knew that Swanson had come from the lumber region of Wisconsin, but had said very little about his home or kindred. In the course of time it came out that a neighboring ranchman had been wooing the girl before the arrival of Swanson, and it was easy to guess that the father had greatly favored the alliance; but his will was set aside after his daughter had seen the youngr man from the north, and now he proposed to shoot Swanson, who had drifted to the mining town after leaving the ranch, for enticing the girl from home. He had just learned of Swanson's whereabouts from a letter written by hilt which Susie Fuller had. \&ft behind. The train finally crept into Gold Gulch and the passengers alighted- Gold Gulch was busy with its own affairs and the arrival of the train once a day did not disturb it in the least. The train sometimes brought a hundred or more gold seekers, but the Gulch had no interest in them until they had been there long enough to become a part of I t I alighted from the train ahead of the others and made my way up the path toward the lights, fully determined to warn Swanson of his impending doom. When I reached the Courier office I found tHe front door open, but just as I entered, and while the light was sbini&g full upon me, a bullet whistled past, cutting the lapel and one sleeve of my coat. I knew then that Fuller bad divined my purpo4fe- amd made the only extort he could to intercept me. "Where's Swanson?" I asked as goon as I was-inside the door. "Down at the Red Dog," said the printer nearest me, and I passed on through without a pause. The office of the Courier was built of logs and rough boards, with doors of heavy fyjphej,, Back -of-thfe Courier office the ground sloped up toward the frowning peak of the mountain, with not a bush or tree in sight. As I reached the back door I could hear Fuller in the front office and knew he would shoot again at sight of me. I have witnessed his outbursts of wrath. I had not entirely given up the idea of warning Swanson. It was still in my mind, but at. that moment I was more concerned for my own safety. I started blindly to climb the side of the mountain, and twenty feet up the-} slope I grasped a small bowlder that lay but slightly balanced. It rolled down toward the Courier office and closed with a thud the back door, which opened outward and was standing slightly ajar. The fcuilding was •haken, but the door was firmly Closed. The loosening of the bowlder probably aaved my life, for it clotted the door against the coming of Fuller, who was in the act of emerging with a revolver in his hand. I could see no hiding-place on the slope of the mountain, the whole of it being lighted by the moon, so I started toward the Red Dog saloon, stumbling over rocks and across ditches in the rear of the buildings. I stopped at the first one from which the noise of many voices came, and entering the back door, pushed into the crowd. 1 was looking for Swanson, but I did not know him and had no description of him. When 1 saw a young man with flaxen hair and blue eyes I knew, somehow, that I had foimd him, even before I had asked his name. He stood talking to a man who wore an apron and was without hat or coat. "You are Swanson, are you not?'" I asked. "I am," he answered in a clear voice. "What can I do for ypu?" "Fuller is here to kill you," I said. "He came trp irtrm Sand Creek to-day. I was on the train with him. I just left him at the Courier office." "Ay know ham," said Swanson. In his surprise at the announcement he unconsciously went back to the language he had spoken in the Wisconsin lumber camps before he had attended college and became a scholar and an athlete. With the man wearing an apron he went into a rear room and I sought safety in the thickest of the crowd and awaited developments. Other men were called into the back room and the crowd grew more dense about the bar. It was probably an hour before Fuller came in. No sooner had he reached the center of the long bar than he was invited to take a drinkrby a tall miner who. had but recently come from the back room. Fuller refused to drink and the miner became offended. He raised his voice and talked loudly about the insult. Fuller tried to shove him aside, but the tall man crowded him toward the back of the room and became more and more abusive. The ranchman was not a coward, and when he deemed the proper time had come he reached for his revolvers. The holsters were empty! At the same moment that Fuller reached toward his belt the offended miner drew a fevolver and began to shoot. Other revolvers cracked at about the Bame time and the room was rapidly filling with smoke. Fuller's shoulder was grazed and his hat had two holes in it. In spite of his natural bravery it was plain that he was • frightened. At that instant Swanson emerged from the back room with n revolver in each hand, which he emptied in the direction of the big miner, who pitched forward to the floor. Two others with revolvers in their hands also fell, and Swanson seized Fuller by the arm, dragging him through the narrow passage and out at the back door. It was more than a year later that I was coming out of Denver one night on an east-bound train. In the smoking compartment of the sleeper I saw Swanson, well dressed and apparently prosperous and happy. His blue eyes were bright with laughter as I glanced at him. He was on his feet as soon as he looked at me. "I've been searching for you for over a year," he said grasping my hand. "Will you tell me why you didn't register at the hotel that night in Gold Gulch?" I had to admit that the excitement incident to the klllirtg of three men had upset me and that I had forgotten to register. " 'Killing of three men," he quoted, i and laughed loud and long.

"It worked out all-right and I took the old man away as. 1 meek as 4hy him that I hadn't stolen his daughter —and I didn't," he added, with' a glance at his pretty wife, who blushed and gave closer attention to the baby. "She came to me," Swanson went on, "and was at home that night in our little house three hundred yards away from that stirring scene." "Well, I guess you wrote and begged me to come," said Mrs. Swanson, defending herself. "You were afraid to come after me." Swanson admitted the truth of her statement proudly. "We waited a week after Daddy Fuller went home," he resumed, "and then I pretended to find Susie. We had been married a month when he came to Gold Gulch, but to make things safe we announced that we had just been married when we went to see'him. He treated us royally and has been to see us several timeB since. He's a regular old idiot about the baby. "There's another thing that may interest you. When you rolled that bowlder down against the backdoor of the Courier office you uncovered one of the richest gold mines in the state, in which you now have a half interest." Adders of Qreat Britain. An adder two fdet 4½ inches in length, killed in Boas-shire, reported recently, isi a large one, but by no means a "record." ••% correspondent of the Scotsman bast kept a record of large adders killed in various parts of the country for many years. One sent him near Kendal, Westmoreland, measured 29½ inches, and a second (same locality), September 2, 1893, ,31 inches. One sent from Beverly, Yorkshire, on July 23, 1898, measured 35 inches, and so far is the largest he has ever heard of in this country. In the Furness district of north Lancashire adders grow to an unusual size, from 25 inches to 30 inches, being apparently the normal development. The correspondent has not a single record of an adder attacking man or beast if not accidentally trod on or wilfully provoked. Adders are most irritable just after recovering from hibernation, and their bites then are perilous. Derivation of "Bible." The word Bible is derived from the Latin name Biblia, which was treated as a singular, although it. comes from the Greek neuter plural, meaning "little books." This Greek diminutive was derived from byblus, or papyrus, the famous material on which ancient books were written. The title "Bible" was first used about the middle of the second Christian century in the socalled second epistlle of Clement. Cxiv, 2). Neurasthenia Test. According to an English court n test for neurasthenia is to make a man stand up, with head erect and eyea closed, and whistle. A neurasthenia subject, it is said, cannot do this. A Cotton-Picking Auto The^ southern planter has often longed fojfcsornething to take may|)laco of the colored brother in the cotton field. To harvest the fleecy staple something like five millions of the black folk are needed. Along has come a man who has been thinking of picking cotton by machinery, and at last an automobile for the cotton fields has come "fntd*use. It seems stranger that no one has ever thought that the contents of the cotton boll could be pulled out by mechanical fingers instead of human fingers. That is what the picker doeR. Instead of two arms, however, it has no less than eight, and a tenyear- old darky can be trained in an hour to guide two of these arms at, such a rate that a machine which traveled over a cotton field in Alabama picked and bagged six bales of fhe staple, weighing five hundred pounds each, in a day of ten hours. This beats the liveliest work which has ever been accomplished by human labor. With an active cotton picker it costs very nearly $5 a bale because the amount of cotton to 8 pound is so enormous.—Van Norden [ Magazine. Make* Others Happy.

Skunk, Mtak. Biaskrat and other*. Top prices. Writ* torn stoctal auotatimu* It is believed that nearly 400 Uvea were lost, in an explosion. In a mine of the St. Paul Coal Co. at Cherry, near Spring Valley, 111. There ,were W6 men at work in the mine when the explosion occurred. About 185 escaped. The entrance of the mine has been boarded over in an attempt to check the flames* raging In the interior. This has checked all hope of escape to the surface by the imprisoned miners. In the three veins of the mine, one 300 feet below the surface, the miners are imprisoned and their only chance for life is to break back to the ends of the veins, where enough air may exist to preserve their lives until help comes. The fans of the mine are stopped-, the wires all burned out and the mouth impenetrably sealed to smother the flames. The first explosion occurred shortly after 3 o'clock. It communicated to other sections of the mine and in less than 10 minutes all hope of escape seemed shut off from the miners. While smoke and even Jets of flame swept up through the, entrance of the mine the cage which carried the miners to their work continued to ascend and descend. The first loads brought up a score of miners, who escaped twith no worse injuries than burns .jor, bruises received in the rush for safety. The last trip of the cage was made when the bodies of the mirfe superintendent and his assistants arose. The men were dead when the car reached, the surface. Those about the flit mouth expressed .'th«*;.beiift»ibat hey were dead or dying when placed in the cage. None survived to tell the story of the trip. Twelve bodies have been taken from the mine. The bodies were taken from the shaft while a fire was burning fiercely in the interior and smoke pouring in dense volumes from the mouth of the pit. They were soon put in cages and lifted to the surface by unknown heroes, who sacrificed their lives in a vain effort to save them. The fire causing the explosion, which may prove one of the greatest tragedies in the list of mine horrors, had an origin almost trivial. A pile of hay allowed to smoulder too long finally ignited the timbers of the mine. and before the workers realized their danger, the mine was* filled with smoke, gases and flames and all .exit wwMmpaisslBle. +*. .-',. Heroism such as is rarely exhibited was shown by officials of the mine and residents of the town of Cherry. These men, who were outside the mine when the fire originated, contributed six of the list;so£,lSvtoQiri dead. England's Unemployed.

Cooks or chefs are seldom generous in giving away rroipes for special dishes, and It is a well understood trick that the measuring of ingredients will be changed in order to bring disaster to the edible which has aroused desire. "Oh, do tell me how this cake or that sauce Is made?" Is frequently heard among housekeepers, but the chances are the "replica" turns out very differently from the original. Occasionally one falls on a trustworthy and willing sharer of special cookery. It seems a Russian chef of eminence has actually sent over to the chef at a famous New York hostelry his formula for making a cer* j at 2:30. tain famous dish. The compliment will be appreciated by all Russian patrons of the house. The politeness of these kings of the kitchen might well be imitated in humbler circles, and American palates must begin at once to cultivate a taste for Rus^'an food, prepared by artists. Williamson Poultry and Pet Stock Association are making great preparations for their exhibition to be held at that place Dec. 14,1909. There are s-oae societies who do not understand as yet that it costs money to publish a newspaper and seem to think that a paper is published for their own especial benefit. We are glad to give all such societies, classes, etc., the use of the columns of the Ois- ' PATCH for all their announcements where there is no admission, tree. Where they want an announcement for a social or entertainment where a charge is made our rates are the same to them as to any other business that is advertised in the paper. Many societies understand this and are very kind but there are those who come in at a late day in the week, ask tor space for a program cr a dwen or twenty lines (on first page now remember) and then even forget to say "thank you."

Publisher, PINCKNBT. - - - MiCHICUpJ THE FLVGHT TO CANADA. Last year 60,000 persona possessed of 60,000,000 American coined dollars or the equivalent crossed over to the new land of plenty, and this year the official figure will show that 70,000 persona and 170,000,000 have followed. Ten, yean ago the number* were too slight to excite comment. Ten years hence the loss or desirable Americans doubtless will outnumber.the gala of foreigners, with a corresponding loss of dollars In proportion to which the gain through Immigration will be beggarly. While It Is not likely that tin* exodus of farmers will continue to in* crease at its present ratio, that them will be a steady stream pouring over the line for many yean is the belief of those qualified to speak. Canadian statisticians figure that by the end of the century the population will have Increased to 50,000,000, with ample room for as many more. That the full significance of the movement has not dawned on the people of this country is evident from the fact that press and public are still bidding god-speed to the departing thousands of good citizens, and without giving a thought as to the disappearing millions of good money. When they come to see things In another light there is apt to be great agitation of mind, says Washington Post. But what can we do about it? Against the Inrush of Impecunious foreigners it is possible to erect barriers, but against the outnish of well-to-do farmers what obstacle can be interposed? What alternative can be urged? '• The announcement that the Russian government is arranging for a loan of $126,000,000 from British capitalists is significant of changed conditions in European politics. The alliance between France and Russia long gave preference to French, money lenders whenever the St. Petersburg government required funds. The bulk of the money needed for the war with Japan was raised in Parti; aid the reof the French Haaiieters to their loans, in Tiew of the Russian disasters on sea and land, was a very powerful factor In moving Russia to accept the proffered mediation of this country. 3ut the dual alliance Is pd lonfer a supremely, important factor In Russian politics or in Russian finance. An understanding has been reached with England which, while not constituting an offensive and defensive alliance, has done much to allay suspicion and to promote good will. FIND DEER IN HIDDEN PITS GAME LAW VIOLATORS ARfc RIVKALEO AT ESC ANA4A. WARDENS; NO ARRESTS. Battle Creek Council Holds Up City Pay Roll U Spite Her Mayor- President of D. A M. Railway Arrested for Contempt. It's really surprising the number of dead deer that are suddenly making their appearance since the opening ol the deer season, and most of them have been dead for several weeks, despite the fact that the season did not open until November 10. Search about Delta county would reveal sundry pits, thickets, hunting lodges and other places of concealment beneath or In which the carcasses of deer found repose until the formal open lag of the season. Perhaps In no section of the state are the state game laws protecting deer violated with more deliberate disregard than in Delta county. The county has Its share of game wardens —it has more than Its share of deer —yet not a single arrest for violations of the ordinance has been made in the past two months. Less than a half-dozen arrests have been made throughout the county In the last four months. Public-spirited citizens are planning to bring the matter personally to the attention of the state department, In the hopes of having the flagrant evil checked at least to a great extent. The new regime in Turkey promises to be of more than sentimental Interest In the United States. The development of the country offers opportunities for successful American enterprise. Modern methods of agriculture, with the use of machinery, will render profitable great tracts of land. Mud mineral wealth also awaits development. Inland towns need railways and wagon roads. Constantinople, a city of nearly a million* inhabitants, has no electric lights or railways *sd no telephone. It has inadequate waterworks and only a poor ice plant Capital is invited to make investments, and promises are made of large concessions and franchises. No king ever showed a more conciliatory spirit than King George is displaying in the face of the present troubles in Oreece. He exhibited this spirit anew in the manner in which he compelled his sons to resign from the army. At his instance the chamber of deputies passed the bills abolishing the right of the crown prince to serve as commander-in-chief, and that of the other princes to hold commissions, By his own act, therefore, the military party which brought on the revolution of last August is deprived of its last ground for complaint against the dynasty. President of D. A M. Railway Arrested. James D. Hawks, president of the Detroit & Mackinac railroad, was taken Into custody at Alpena on a capias issued from the Cheboygan circuit court by order of Judge Sheperd on a charge of contempt of court. Ten days ago the D. & M. was enjoined by Judge Sheperd from placing cars of material consigned to the Alpena Power Co. on any other track except the spur near the power dam. It IB alleged that the cars are not so placed, hence the contempt proceedings. Hawks was not jailed and will furnish bond if required. The matter is another phase of the fight between the Alpena Shippers' association and the railroad. The latter refuses to use the side track over the power company property, thus shutting off log shipments to the two mills. It is alleged the railroad agreed to build another track to the mills, and as this is not yet done damage suits will probably result. BRIEF MICHIGAN NEWS. Hold Up Pay Roll to Spite Mayor. As a result of a ruction between Mayor John W. Bailey, Battle Creek's strenuous and self-assertive executive, and the common council over the letting of the city printing contract, all the employes of the city threaten to quit within a week. The city printing has been done by the Battle Creek Journal, but about a week ago the mayor let the contract to the Enquirer without the approval of the council, it is said. Out of revenge for his act the council refused to approve the entire city pay roll. leaving the flre department, board of public works, police and all the city departments without money to pay their employes. The various department heads threaten that unless their men are paid off within a week they will all resign. The exhibition of American manufacturers, to be held in Berlin* Germany, next year, should be a success, both because of the purpose aimed at and on account of the eminence and ability of the American business meA who are In the management.

Fourteen cases have been reported, and there are several suspects, besides, but the city authritles appear to have taken hold in good time, and have the situation well In hand. The board of health is preparing a pesthouse on Kearsley Btreet, and practically all the doctors in town are on a vaccinating tour. Two of the public schools have been closed, and all have been disinfected. The children have been notified that they must show up at school with vaccination certificates, or take a two weeks' suspension sentence. M. U. Rsilwsy Wsnts K„ L. 3. & C. It is reported at Battle Creek that the Michigan United Railways Co. is contemplating the purchase of the Kalamazoo, Lake Shore & Chicago railway property, better known as the "Fruit Belt Line," which connects Kalamazoo with South Haven. At present the "Fruit Belt Line" is a steam road, but If the M. U. R. secures it it will be made an electric road. The M. U. R. also proposes to connect with South Bend, Ind., by building an electric road to Benton Harbor and St. Joseph. Held Boy In Livery Attic. Kidnaped and kept a prisoner in the attic of a livery stable within a block of police headquarters for a week, at Grand Rapids, while the police were scouring western Michigan In the search for him, 9-year-old Mackie McKeeby was found and restored to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward McKeeby.

An epidemic of measles, which thus tar has not proved serious, is on in Saginaw. Many of the schools .are partially depopulated by the disease. Dandelions in November was the unique spectacle witnessed in Saginaw. Several lawns were almost carpeted with the yellow flowers Tuesday. The*-disposition of their sister's body., caused a net flght between A. Knickerbocker and .JL Van Horn,' bro&er-In-law, on the day of her funeral at Elton.

Dr. Theodore Sands, who was sued for $25,000 for hugging Mrs. Marie Guerrler, will be made defendant In a suit begun, it is said, by the woman's husband, basing its claims on similar charges. H. C. Simmons, of Coldwater, has received a check for $13, money he earned 47 years ago, when he aided the famous Ohio "squirrel hunters" in the defense of Cincinnati against Confederate raiders In the Civil war. Members of the Grand Rapids board of public works attempted to hold a meeting on the top of the new 225- foot smokestack at the water works pumping station. After a hasty glance at the scenery, however, the men made a quick descent from the dizzy hlght. State Land Commissioner Russell, who is attending the land congress in Chicago, has written Assistant Carton that the exhibit of fruits and vegetables from the northern counties of Michigan are the main attraction, and are receiving much favorable notice from experts. The creditors of the defunct First National bank, of Ironwood, whioh closed its doors in June, will receive their first dividend of 15 per cent this week. More than 50 suits have been started by the receiver of the institution to enforce the collection of credits due the bank. Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Conroy, 76 and 75, respectively, who were married Nov. 17, 1849, and have" lived on the same farm in Ceresco township, neaf* Marshall, ever since, celebrated . th#v sixtieth anniversary of their wedding, Wednesday.

Peters Salt & Lumber Co., which recently completed the cutting of ,${nv oer in that part of the state. The road will in time be completed to Alpena, the rumor Bays, making a crossstate line. ' - T Game Warden Pierce has received a report from Beaver Island fhat three and one-half million trout eggs were taken from the water on Nov. 12.

Eugene Miller, of Battle Creek, has begun 9uit against ex-County Treasurer A. C. Wlsner, to recover $50,000. on notes secured by him from parties who loaned money to the late Neil S. Phelps, who erected the sanatorium there, and promoted several other industries. Phelps became financially cmbarrased and killed himself, In the probate court at Port Huron the estate of Gideon Browning, who was slain in the Battle Run church by Rev. Carmichael, a year ago, was settled. The estate, which amounts to $8, will be divided between Browning's widow and his son. Browning had $1,- 000 Insurance on his life, but this was turned over to the son shortly after his death. Frank Guerrtes, of Battle Creek, whose wife, Marie, has started suit against Dr. Theodore S. Sands for $25,- 000 damages, alleging that the latter hugged her so hard he caused an abscess to form nnd-er her arm, feels that he was also damaged and says that he will start a second suit for damages, for being deprived of his wife's society. Dr. Sands seems less worried* about the affair than he la Indignant. The trouble between the Alpena Power Co. and the Detroit & Mackinac railroad has been settled temporarily until the courts can decide on Its merits. The railroad placed car» for the power company and the Island Mill Lumber Co. on the disputed spur Thursday. The state railroad commission will probably make a ruling, The contempt, proceedings against J. D. Hawks, vice-president of the road, may be dropped.

All the goods will be sold and the proceeds will be used by Gladstone Dowie In enlarging his chicken farm ZEtAY* JEXECUTES II IMS WERE SERVING WITH THB RiVOLUTIONIftT ARMY IN NICARAGUA. TAFT ANGRY; SENDS SHIPS Sentence Believed to Have Been Carried Out by 3Qldi«rs—Warships Be* ina Pushed to Port Llmon to Protect U. 8. Intereets. . Two Americans, Leonard Grace and Leroy Cannon, captured while serving with the revolutionist army In Nicaragua, have been sentenced to death by President Zelaya's orders and It is believed that sentence has already been carried out. The cruiser Vlcksburg has been ordered to proceed in all haste to Corinto, and the gunboat Des Moines will proceed at once to Port Limon to observe events there and report the situation at that point by wireless. The meeting between President Taft and the new minister from Nicaragua, Isidoro Hazera, has been indefinitely postponed. The news as to the two Americans reached the state department from the American consulate at Managua, and stated that their capture had been followed almost immediately by a death sentence. The consul immediately appealed to President Zelaya to commute their sentences, and his answer was: "I will see." Later, on further appeal, Zelayja said: "The sentence was final." A dispatch received at the state department is to the effect that the men have been undoubtedly executed. Upon this information the secretary of state asked the secretary of the navy to order the Vlcksburg to proceed In all haste to Corinto for the purpose of protecting Americans and American Interests. The Des Moines was also ordered to proceed to Port Limon at top speed for the same purpose. These vessels will be in constant communication by wireless with the state department. The execution of the Americans is believed to have taken place at or near Elcostlllo, which is in the immediate vicinity of Greytown. The brutality of the Nicaraguan government in ordering the execution of these Americans who happened to be found in the revolutionists' army, without trial of any sort, Is likely to result in this government's taking drastic measures to prevent a repetition of it and President Zelaya will be held to a atrict accountability for his action. President Taft on receipt of this news was so incensed at the action of Zelaya that he immediately announced thai he would have no communication whatever with the new Nicaraguan minister and that official was promptly so informed.

The shifting human atoms might be classified as four bunches: the small-boy bunch, three women circling about a stolid and annoyed boy; the tobacco bunch, four, unshaven men; the parson— black of clothes, pallid, yet strong of face—and his friend, a prosperous business man by the look of him; and, the fourth division, a solitary individual. This last was young, and so strongly built that muscle was the first Impression on looking at him. His listless movements were powerful, his face was cast In a virile mold, but It was strength and beauty gone wrong. The face was lined with unhappiness; the eyes were dull; a swinging walk lapsed to a lurch; his coat collar was up and his hat brim down, his clothes were shabby. The hypothetical observer would have seen that the man avoided with some effort the clergyman and his friend. As they came toward him down the long platform, walking briskly for warmth, talking earnestly together, he watched them from under his shadowing hat-brim, turned his back as they neared him, and disappeared behind the station. His hands in the pockets of bis overcoat, he stared out at the fields with resentful eyes. He came to a stop in front of a bench, and, dropping into it, drew out a letter. The thin envelope fell open as if read often before. "Dear Carl," the writing ran, "I saw Peterson two days ago and he told me you were playing in bad luck. There's an opening out here in my business for a person who knows several languages, and you came to my mind. Would you care to take it? You would have to put up a thousand or two, and that, beyond traveling expenses, would be all the money necessary. I think you would like it. The business is going :o be a, big one, and we are making money now. There is plenty of work, but plenty of play also of the kind you're good at—tennis and polo and that sort. And there's the certainty of a fresh start in life with every chance of a solid career. "I'm sure you know what a pleasure it would be to me, because it's always been a pleasure to be with you since the first days of Groton. Think it over and send me a line by New Year's so I may know during January. I repeat that I want you and that I hope ytfu may care to come." The letter was dated from Hong Kong. "Care to come!" The man flapped the paper with a gesture of despair, and at the second a door creaked mournfully behind him, opened halfway, and the clergyman's clear-cut speech sounded through it. "You don't mind the draft?" the voice asked. "It's close in here." The man outside, the letter clasped against 'his knee, did not stir; he lis tened Intently. The two within sat down without seeing him, back to back with him, the wall between. r word they Bpoke came out to distinctly. "Why don't you put that bag on the ? You hold on to it as if it were treasure," the pleasant, easy tones of the parson continued. The big man's answer came after a second's pause. "It Is treasure," he said briefly. "Do you mean—Sidney, you're not driving home alone to-night with the men's wages?" "No, not alone. Tomlinson meets me." "Tomlinson! He's nothing. That la •—he's a good coachman, of course, but the mildest ruffian could do up Tomlinson with one hand. A great protection!" "I doft't want protection," the n\cm voice half-laughed. "I can protect myself— and Tomlinson." The man outside could all but see *dg?3 the clergyman's head shake disapprovingly. "I don't nke it. It's six miles and you'll have to go through the River Mills—the other road's impassable. There's a bad lot of roughs there Just now. Pat O'Hara—who used to be my man-of-all-work—told me about It last week. He's working now on the Falls' bridge, and lives two miles this side. He saya they're genuine desperadoes. It will be known that you're comingit's always known. What possesed you to go back at night?" "Delayed," the laconic tones answered. "A meeting of the board of directors." "Well, delay a bit longer, and you may save time," the clergyman threw back. "Don't go home to-night, Sidney— it's really unsafe." "Must get home for Christmas morning—couldn't disappoint the baby," said the steady voice. "I know," the clergyman agreed. "I'm In the same box. Yet," he harked back, "it's taking too much The confident voice, the voice of a personage, went on, but the ahabby figure outside relaxed, shivering * bit,, against the wall of the station. He was thinking fast, but his listening now was less careful; ae knew the rest; his data were f collected. There was a whistle down the- track, and a wave of humanity diew together; the train pulled In, toe man hovering in the background waited to see Mr. Maxwell of Maxwell Field, in a fur-lined ulster with its collar and cuffs of sable, and the thin clergyman in his overcoat a little gray at the seams, enter a car together, before he sprang unnoticed into the car behind them. The two big children and their Bmall mother sat on the rug before the fire, the fire being an especial luxury for Christmas Eve. The nursery was a pleasant room; the spendthrift firelight washed brightness over gay colors of coarse stuffs, over cheap prints of fine pictures, over the whitewashed walls and the peace of the two white beds folded back for the night. There was a homelike atmosphere, full of the alert leisure of a house where much is done. The children leaned close against the woman between them; the glrl'B hair was spread on her mother's shoulders, and the boy's angels, to h i m * slide) *»* real, a shade more holy than his another.

"Thus spoke the seraph and forthwith appeared a shining throng of angels— praising God—who thus addressed their joyful song." An atheist would have got an impression, hearing him tell it, that the bor had. seen with his eyes and heard with his ears what he related. There was a silence, as the sturdy tones ended and Benny's eyes gazed on lnjto the heart of the fire, as If they saw la a vision the still eastern night, th< shepherds on the hills, the white flight of angels. "You repeated It very nicely/' Mr* Harding said softly, and put her moutli against his head again. "Now you shall have yours." The big 11-year-old girl caught hei mother's hand—a hand worn wit housework and sewing—and held I against her cheek. " 'Twas the night before Chrietmai when all through the house," the wi man began, and went on, as man women have begun and gone on wlti the charming old poem, to children ot Christmas Eve. The fire crackled ii the pauses, and the logs fell apar with gentle heaviness, an accom paniment to the swinging sentences "Now Just one more, children deal and you really must go to bed. It'i very late—look! It's almost nine,' and the girl and the boy cried out to gether. "Oh, the Beasts! The Beasts!" They pressed against her, a head o* either shoulder, and held her hands in theirs, while Bhe told them a tale of a boy in a German forest whose father and mother were so poor that there was not enough to eat in the house. She told them how he lay in his cot on Christmas Eve and heard them plan; how he listened as they divided what food was left into three portions for to-morrow's breakfast, the largest for the boy; how he sobbed to himself In the dark as he heard them arrange to kill his two friends, the old horse Frledel and the old cow Minna, rather than let them starve to death. (TO BE CONTINTUED.) "The Man Drew a Sharp Breath." risk. You have no right to run such a risk. How much are you carrying?" "Three thousand dollars." The man outside drew a sharp breath as if the distinct words had hit hira. Three thousand dollars! The clergyman inside repeated them. "Three thousand dollars! It's too much to carry after dark through a nest of banditti." "Banditti!" The other's tone protested. But Dr. Harding persisted. "At least leave the money .in town." "Where?" Maxwell asked. "The banks are closed. The men's wages must be paid the twenty-sixth. I'll carry it safe enough—the Maxwells have carried their employes' wages to Maxwell Field for five generations." The clergyman's reply was serious. "With two Maxwells killed to discourage the practice," he said. There was silence for a moment. Then, "I see what can be done," the older man spoke. "Give me the money. I'll take it to the rectory to-night, and to-morrow you'll all be over to service and you can fetch it back. How is that?" "You've a lonely drive, too." "Only two miles," said Harding. "And there's no danger for me. Nobody suspects a parson of money." Maxwell considered, hesitated. "I think I'll accept your offer, doctor," he said at last. "Quarles. the manager, objects to my landing with a bag which I carry carefully myself, as I must when it's loaded this way." The man outside, strained forward, could Imagine the manufacturer's hand laid on the stout bag on his knee. "My dress-suit case I throw at somebody to be put into th* trap, and I think no more of it, but this I keep by me, and I'm so well known about the country that they are familiar with my ways." irm was around her and his head pressed her arm. "Say 'The Night Before Christmas' again mother," he begged. "You promised you'd say it next." "No, she ^didn't, Benny," objected the girl. "Sfre only promised she'd say it again; she hasn't said 'While Shepherds Watched' at all yet, or told us the story of the beasts on Christmas Eve. Have you, mother?" "My knee, Benny—you weigh a ton, dear," remonstrated the mother, pushing a heavy foot. "We'll do this, Alice. Benny knows 'While Shepherds . Watched' as well as I, and if he'll say it, then I'll do The Night Before Christmas,' and the story, and just anything you want." "I like your saying of it, mother, better than I do Benny's. He always makes the angels talk like people," Alice demurred. But the boy, undisturbed by criticism, began at once. His large brown eyes fixed on the fire, he recited, slowly and conscientiously, the twohundred- year-old Christmas carol: While Shepherds watched their flocks by night All seated on thfi unround, The angel of the Lord came down And f?lory ahone around, the reedy voice repeated, and a listener might have understood what Alice meant. It was much as if John Jones had met William Smith ^and mentioned to him a matter of news about a mutual friend, an angel. But to the woman who listened with the boy's head against her shoulder, the incongruous inflections were sweet; the audacity of it seemed to bring so near, that it thrilled her, a night when, for another Child's sake, the skies had rung with a song that has echoed always. Benny's fresh tones disclosed, with careful conversational emphasis, more and more facts about SOME IDEAS FOR DECORATIONS How f Make the Home L a s * sVtfM Cheerful far Holidays. In massing holly for use on the Christmas table It repays one to wipe off the leaves with a cloth dipped In a very little olive oil, says the Housekeeper. Tall candles should light the feast and the holly leaves reflect the twinkling lights In a beautiful manner. If a chandelier hangs over the dining table a feature which will delight the children is to have a nosegay of artificial flowers suspended from the chandelier to within a foot of the table by means of a red ribbon. This bouquet should have the paper puff of the oldtime fashion, and the bouquet itself will be found to be a shower bouquet, one small noseegay for each person, in the depths of which some trifling gift is hidden. Snowballs of cotton, tightly wound with white ribbon, also conceal gifts most attractively, while the cheap hut pretty little Santa Claus candy boxes, for sale at favor shops, are effective upon the Christmas table, and will hold quite a good-Bized package, or, of course, may be used to hold the bonbons for which they are intended. For a luncheon or high tea during Christmas week, a beautiful table may be set by employing the use of green linen runnera embroidered in white. A holly bell or a bunch of red earns* tions in a cut-glass vase will touch the center of the table to brilliancy and soft garlands of southern moss may lightly edge the linen runners, or doilies if they be used instead. The colonial glass candlesticks are still in favor, and nothing is more attractive in a country house. With tall green or red tapers, a group of these candlesticks placed in a mass of holly as a centerpiece is both appropriate and beautiful. A quaint little Christmas tree may be used as a centerpiece by procuring at the florist's a little "pepper plant," which has lovely green leaves and red berries. Wound with glittering tinsel and tied with candied fruits held in place with wee baby ribbons, or hung with little favors of French jewelry or articles of trifling worth, the little tree makes a centerpiece of charm.

B u t while w e a r e lotlng faith In the miraculous there la a growing disposition to explain wonders scientifically. I a m especially subject t o thought transference, a n d so la my wife. W h e n together a thought no sooner enters the head o f one of u s than t h e other g i v e s expression t o I t 1 a m a scientific man and expect t h e time t o come when one will be able t o detect the subtle cause or means o f this communication. Some years a g o I went ae scientist on an exploring expedition. We were obliged to enter into an ocean that w a s then comparatively unknown. Our maps were the best that could be obtained, but had not received the same attention as other districts. Besides, convulsions beneath the s e a are constantly occurring to change the conditions. We were sailing northward, within a hundred miles of a coast running northeast and s o u t h w e s t I t was Dear midnight I w a s sound asleep in my berth. Suddenly I awoke. What occurred during this awakening I am not going to attempt to explain except negatively. It w a s not a dream. It w a s not a vision. I heard nothing. I s a w nothing. It w a s rather a consciousness. In that infinitesimal bit of time, during which I passed from a sound sleep to a wide awake condl-) tion, my wife, w h o w a s Beverai thousand miles distant from me, was gesticulating wildly, convulsed with terror, pointing and crying, "Keep off!" As I have said, I received this a s a brain impression. T h e moment I w a s awake it w a s gone. There were t h e usual roil of the ship and creaking of timbers, and I looked out of the porthole. T h e night w a s starlight and there w a s but a fair wind. Nevertheless what had occurred had impressed me thoroughly with a sense of danger. I arose, put on my clothes and went 00 deck. T h e officer in charge, John Jacobson, w a s pacing the after deck. There w a s no land 10 sight, nothing but a broad expanse o f ocean. "What la it?" asked the officer a s I Joined him. "Why do you ask the question?" "Why? You wouldn't be coming up here at this time of night for nothing Besides, yon look as if you'd seen a ghost." "John," 1 replied, "will you do something for me without a reason?' "What is It?" "That's shoreward out there, Isn't It?" I pointed westward. "Yes." "Put her off to n o r t h w e s t " "Good Lord! What for?" "It w a s to be without a reason." "What will the old man do to me?" "I'll take tbe responsibility and stand between y o u and him. Come, Jobri, be quick! There's danger ahead!" H e seemed to catch an inspiration of fear from rae and gave the necessary orders. As the ship w a s rounding to her n e w course I went to the port gunwale and looked over. "Come here, quick!" J called to t h e officer. He came and looked over the side with me. "What's that?" I asked. "1 see nothing," be replied. "Not that whitish line out there?" He continued to peer and suddenly cried under his breath. "Great heavens!" then gave the order to the helms man to sheer off to starboard. H e saw. as I did, a thin white line. It could only be foam and could only come from submerged rocks. It ran north and south, broken here and there by the dark wat^r to reappear farther on. We got only a glimpse of It, for our change of course served to take us away from It. For n time w e both stood with bated breath, every moment expecting a shock or t o hear the hold beneath n s grating on a reef. Then I went below and called the captain. We s a w no more evidences of the sunken reef, but on reaching the next port learned that It had been recently discovered by others. Its appearance dated from the last earthquake 0 0 t h e coast. 1 made a note of the day. hour aud minutes aa near as tbe Intter was poeaible, that my warning came to me, and when some months later I returned to my wife I told her my story Without waiting to hear me through'1 she interrupted to tell me that while 1 was away she had dreamed she s a w our ship sallifig toward a m n k e n reef.

There, n e j * * ***<*> njen, five ponies, and a noirttfescript dog with a bushy tail. For day* they had been observed at tha hawk and t h e eagl«, trailing pa- ^ 1 ^ " " * ^hould«ra of t h . htlla. a t *TfitW" spiders tnigfit crawl up a maak8 coitaleeve. Twice or thrice the Winds h a d been minded to brush the tolling insects away, but bad thought batter of It; they Were so very iusigniflcawU thaoe ifttle t>imcit specks up on tba :«dges of the snows. :M last the three men and the ponies aqd the taciturn dog climbed up above the clouds, and came out upon a bare flank of mountain, upon a long slope of. soft crumbled rock ending in a thirty-foot wide . ledge, and a clear drop of nearly eight hundred reet. ?WeU, aire," saW Macavoy, the tall, brown man with the black beard, owner of Taya the dog. "Well, sirs, I've brought you here safe. Now you have but t o scratch i' tke ground, for the whole face o' t h e hill's riddled wi* veins and pockets of gold. I've done my p a r t So to-morrow, by your leave, Taya and I'll be goin' our ways." "Stay with us," cordially entreated DalsWorth, artist, journalist, and wanderer to the ends of the earth, "stay with us, and work on shares. When you led us to this place you fairly laid fortune in our hands." "And was paid for so doin'," answered Macavoy with his slow smile, **paid liberally, accordin' to our agreement. I'm but the guide. Twice or thrice I feared I was astray, for it's •three years since I was here. No, I'll not stay, thankin' you none the less. We'll be goin* our ways, me and Taya. Eh, old lass?" The dog laid her head on the man's knee, and curled her lips back expectantly. "If you don't mind," said young Urquhart abruptly, "I'll call that dog Monna Lisa. She has the same bony forehead and superior smirk. Oh, I know It's heresy, Dal, but don't you s e e t h e likeness? You could esteem Monna Lisa, but you could never love bar. Give me a dog, likewise a worna a , that you can c h u c k ' under the •MB." Macavoy looked from one to the other, a puzzled crease on his weatherbeaten forehead. "Taya has wolf blood in her," he ventured; "maybe that's why she's different from others." "To go back to what we were speaking* of when Urquhart cut in," said Dalsworth, "why won't you stay? Oh, our agreement doesn't matter. Chip in with us. When you came away from this place before, you threw aside a fortune. Don't let it go a second time." "I thank you very kindly," said Macavoy with no hesitation, "but I'll be goin' in a day or so. I mean no offense to you who think different, but to me, a shadow and a sorrow would go with this gold. Yes, I've been here before. That's why I'll not stay here now." "You hinted of spooks before," said Dalsworth with a friendly impatience, "but surely you weren't in earnest? Go on with the story." Macavoy bent his head, and absently fingered Taya's upstanding ears. "I know no story," he said in a low voice: "the story lies in what. I do not know, and can but guess at—In all that I shall never know for sure. If Taya here could speak, she'd tell you more than I can. Dogs at times can hear and see more than men, and she's a wolfs eyes and cars. I'd a friend once, a Frenchman, who said that a wolf could hear the very footfalls o' the Angel of Death. You'll mind that, when I told you o' this place, I said there was a shadow over it? I can but tell you what that shadow may be. "I've thought much on the matter, fitting in fact with fancy, till at length and at last, I've got a story that'll serve. It may be far from the truth. But there's naught, left, to verify it, save the rusty pick you saw, Mister Urquhart, lyin' in that little hole in the hillside. "Yes, I've thought so long on it, that. a t last it's come to seem as if I'd seen it all—seen the hill when there was no little hole there, seen him who owns the pick." "Him?" said Dalsworth, "him? Who? A hermit in the wilderness?" "The Siwashes have a name for him," said Macavoy in a very low voice, "which we can best translate as He-Who-Is-Not." "He-Who-Is-Not?" asked Dalsworth again with a rising inflection on the words. "Yes," said Macavoy simply, "for you see, sirs, he's been dead now a matter o' three years, I take it. Macavoy dropped his hands heavily on his knees. "God rest his soul," he said softly, "God rest his soul, aa the Irish say. whoever he was. For, 0 sirs, when he left T^BaJekulhre Uk# a bright cloud behind him, and lilted n i t face to the stars, he was a doomed man! He thought that Fprtufea asopd wujtin' him on the top o' tfefe mountains, but when Fortune took. h j r wings from before her face, she looked at him with the eyes o' Death," Dalsworth drew in his breath sharply, and glanced at the wonderful world of peak and lope, of cloud and infinite sky, which encircled their Uny camp. Night seemed to have settled, a visible brooding presence. Upon uto everlasting b*Hs. ^ \ i «' "I can see him-—him that's galled by the SlwasheB He-Who-Is-Not—I can see him, whatever his name may have been, coming upon Just this place, as we have after him. Perhaps he greeted wi' joy, or maybe he prayed, or maybe he swore. "Tis all one—now. He began his boy's pickin' and scrapin' among the rocks, and made his untidy camp on this ledge. Haven't ye seen many and more o' such slovenly, pitiful, tenderfoot camps? "He scraped and scratched among the rocks, his heart fair buratln* wi' joy, maybe, two, three, even four days. Ye can tell by the size o' the hole, though it's part filled up now through the wash o' the weather. And then one night he flung hlB pick down, maybe, and went and stoocLon the brink o' this very ledge, loogln' out upon the t i l l s , before h$got>'hls supper. " '•' ' "Perhaps 'twas just such a nlghf aB this, with a round moon rldin' clear, and the chasm all one white flat sea o' cloud. Perhaps, as he stood there, Gtretchin' his stiff arms proudly, astone caught him between the shoulders, a stone thrown from t h e ' h a n d o* that woli-shadow that had followed him— and whirled him outwards from the ledge, as the storm whirls a bird from its cliff-nest. I seem to see that black whlrlin' shape rushln" down, down, down—a vast sprawlin' shadow outspread upon the floor of cloud beneath. I seem to see the shape and its shadow rushin' together, growin' smaller, becomin' one; and no more. For that chasm, sirs, would take the lass?' l says to her, and she growlb, again. Some unclean thing had nested in that tent, drunk all them mixed liquors, and then gone, as if in fright, touchin' no more—not even some bits o' gold In a little brown canvas bag. "There was that about the matter that weighed upon me so that I sent all the tent and everythin' in it ov«r the rocks there. I'd Veen the pick on the hilljjlde, and by this and that I'd read the story plain. We'd lived among cleaner, kinder things, me and Taya, and we'd no mind to meddle wi' gold which had that shadow on I t 'We'll make enough out of it by tellin' other folks.' I says to Taya, 'we'll have no finger in this pie, old teas. 'Tis cursed from the beginnin' "The morn In" came up clear behind Tsalekulhye, and Taya and I went our ways. We carried the secret «?* t h e gold with us—and more than that, more than that. I had heard. Taya, maybe, had both seen and heard, for she looked at me wi' her yellow eyes and tried to tell me what she knew. Aye, as the gold had drawn that poor fool, livin", so it drew him, dead." He paused, and again one of the restless ponleB whickered in the alienee. "Do you mean that He-Who-Is-Not ' w a l k s ? ' " asked Dalsworth at last, bluntly. Macavoy nodded slowly. "I have not seen, ye understand," he an- Bwered, "I only hear. But I know that He-Who-Is-Not finds no rest." "Poor fool," said Urquhart softly, "poor young fool. You're sorry for him, eh, Monna Lisa?" The dog looked across the fire to the black slope above where the stars hung in splendor above the last faint crest of Bnow. Urquhart followed her gaze, huddling deeper into his blanket. "But—but I don't see—" began Dalsworth argumentatively. "Then listen," said Macavoy, "listen." Dalsworth listened. And an odd expression dawned in his eyes, and expression half-pitiful, half-incredulous, wholly wondering. Softly, he took off his cap, as one takes it off in the presence of the dead. What was the faint ghost of sound, thin, distant, yet not to be mistaken, that came to his ears? Was it the "tchink, tchink" of a miner's pick upon loose stones? Lost 8t. CharlM Man U a Maniac. •Harry Brown ell, the missing St Charles railroad clerk, ia. either frozen stiff in the bliazard swept forests o the upper peninsula or he Is wander ing through them Insane and suffering terrible hardships. The first definite clue to the fate of the young man reached his home when Vera Me Crory, his cousin, returned from Newberry, where he has been aiding in t h e search, and told a tragic story of Brownell'g mishap. According to McCrory, Brownell was seen last Friday, four days after he disappeared, near a hunting camp about 12 miles from his own camp. A young woman with whom he went to school at Big Rapids, hiB former home, a n d wh$ I s in the woods with her father and brother hunting deer, reported to the searchers juBt before McCrory left that Brownell passed near their camp on t h a t 4*P> The young woman who recognized him but did not know he was missing, called to Brownell, she afterwards told the searchers. Brownell, she said, wheeled about, raised his rifle, deliberately aimed it at her and fired. The bullet missed her and crashed into a tree just back of her. Brownell then ran and disappeared in the forest. The young woman is certain Brownell was a raving maniac when he fired at her. This belief was shared by old hunters, who declare that men who become lost in the woods after roaming about for days, often go stark mad. whole tragedy, wl' little but a faint o v e r 5 0 p e r c e n t o f t l m n i e n e ? stir i' that green fur o' pines, so far l n e d h a d t h e r i g h t a i m stronger i below." Urquhart looked out at the chasm, a pot of silently bubbling pearl beneath the moon, and shuddered. Taya whined again. "God rest his soul," said Dalsworth softly. "But does it rest?" whispered Macavoy. His eyes glittered strangely in the red glow of the fire. "Does It rest? "I cannot see that wolf-shadow who followed him, whose hand sent him Into eternity, very clear. But I do know that the Si wash got no payment for his crime. He never stayed to take any. "When I came upon this place nearly three years agone, I found the wreck of a little t e a t on this very ledge. No, not here, Mister Urquhart, at i' other end where yon big rock slopes down. It was battered by a winter's weather, but by the snow, ye understand. I read the Bigns of It. It had a tenderfoot for owner, by the truck in it. Such truck ye never see, chiefly in bottles. I mind there was chlorodyne, ammonlated quinine, plain ammonia, and whisky—good whisky. Aye, I had the bottles to my nose, and besides there were the labels. But they were all empty, and flung about in a muddle o' rotted blanket. Taya had 'em to her nose, and growled, readin' more than I. "Slwaah, old Relative Strength of Man's Limbs. As a result of some very interesting experiments made at Washington recently, with a view to determine the relative strength of right and left limbs, it has been ascertained that examthan the left; 16.40 per cent, had the arms of equal length and strength; and 32.70 per cent, had the left arm stronger than the right. Of women 4().90 per cent, had the right arm stronger than the left; 24.50 per cent, had the left stronger than the right. In order to arrive at the average length of limbs 50 skeletons were measured—25 of each sex. Of these 23 had the right arm and left leg longer, six the left arm and right leg, while in 17 cases all the members were more or less equal in length.— Sunday Magazine of the Pittsburg Dispatch. Baffled Again. Creeping through the boudior of the leading lady, the bold burglar grasped the inlaid chest and fled: Down in the gloom of an alleyway he opened it. "What's in it, pard?" asked his pal. "De jools?" "Aw, r a t s ! " muttered the burglar In disgust, and then he tossed the chest and its contents over the bridge. He had taken the leading lady's false-hair chest by mistake. Just So. Gyer—Clocks are diflerent. from men. Myer—In what way? v Gyer—Why, when they strike they keep right on working. Easy to Trace Degeneracy • # . Removal of Causes of Strife Has Made Rhinoceros 8tupid Animal He Is. The rhinoceros Is an ugly* beast, and Dr. W. S. Rainsford charges him in an article in the Outlook with being as stupid and aa wicked aff he looks. Some years ago, be says, a noted professor of bhrtogy Interested him greatly as he showed him the skulls of certain Miocene rhinoceroses. In those far-away days the beast must have been well able to take care of himself, even in the dangerous company in which he found himself. The convolutions of the brain of the Miocene rhinoceros are fine, much superior to those of his present-day descendant. The saw-tooth tiger and the cave bear were not dangerous enemies. Indeed, he somehow so managed | h i n g s that when they disappeared he survived. Then gradually life must have become too easy for him. He was big and burly and well-armed; other animals kept out of his way. The inevitable consequences ensued. Competition fierce and keen had kept him up. The struggle over, his brain no longer put to its best use, he began, like poor Dean Swift, "to die atop." The African grass is as good as of yore. His hide is as thick, his horn as sharp, everything keeps out of his way, and he lives on, a surly, ill-natured, dangerous and quite useless life, occupying ground that, more useful and beautiful things need. Surely a striking illustration in the animal world of the universal truth we are prone to forget; that easy times do not always make for real usefulness or greatness. Negative Fitness. "Father," said little Rollo, "what is a reformer?" "In numerous cases, my son, a reformer is a man who considers himself peculiarly qualified to hold office because of his professional inexperi ence." $17,000,000 in Auto Industry. Figures compiled by the secretary of state show that t h e automobile industry has made wonderful strides in Michigan during the past 10 months, statistics showing that from January 1 to November 15, inclusive, 34 automobile companies, representing,a capital of $15,423,000, have filed articles of incorporation with the secretary of state. The capital stock of the companies ranges from $5,000 to $10,000,000. The Packard company, Detroit, incorporated for $10,000,000, was the largest concern to file articles this year. In addition to the companies organized for the manufacture of automobiles, there were 54 companies which organized to manufacture automobile parts. The total capitalization of these concerns is $1,680,000. Sugar Factories Break Record. Farmers who raise beets In the country tributary to Bay City and Saginaw sugar factories are taking away the largest amount of "money for their product t h a t has ever Jseen paid in Michigan at the end of a fortnightly period of delivery. The three factories have paid $869,000. The largest single payment last sea son was $750,000 b*y the same throe. There is a serious car shortage in Sagtnaw district, and the growers are howling because of the loss of part al their crops. The office of postmaster of Garland, which last year paid William E. Scott $150, Is vacant because of Scott's resigning recently, and the government is having a hard time to find a man to accept the position. An examination will be held in Owosso Dec. 4. THE MARKETS.

(FRED O. SIBLEY.) A clBtern for the collection and Btpjrage of roof water ahould be under ground and, for durability and the best of service, be made circular. Dig a bole ten to fifteen feet deep, and from six to eight feet in diameter, depending on the quantity of water one wants to atore. • The site selected should be dry, for while a cistern can be built BO AS toehold water it is almost Impossible to keep water out of It if there is a spring where the hole is dug. Take pains that the .hole is dug symmetrical, the sides smooth, and the bottom oval. For a foundation, a •tone about two feet square should be used. Beginning on this lay a two- Inch brick againBt the earth until the waJl is nearly to the top of the perpendicular sides where the thickness should be increased to four inches. About five feet from the top the wall ahould be drawn in by tipping the outer edge of the brick a little at first and until the upper outside of them is at an angle of about 45 degrees when the arch is finished. A good mason can easily do this. The top of the arch should be about two feet below the surface of the ground. The circular neck should extend to or a little •?**«* •' ^Underground Brick Cistern. abojre the level of the surrounding soil and be furnished with a cover. An opening should be left near the top of the arch for an inflow, provided with a short piece of iron pipe which, cemented into the wall, rises an inch or two above the surface of the ground. On the Bame level with the inflow where it enters the cistern there should be also an outflow, consisting of a joint of iron pipe carefully cemented into the wall and conducted away until there is a good outlet. By having this pipe extended to the bottom of the cistern water that contains the most impurities can be taken out, but in order to prevent the water from being siphoned out, as would occur if the outlet were lower than the bottom of the cistern, a hole must be drilled in the pipe at its highest point. Good cement mortar is required to lay the brfcks arid when completed its interior should have an application of two, coats of cement. The last one, a light coat, should be put on before the first is dry. It is best finished off with a whitewash brush. METHOD OF PULLING STuftP" Late Corn Fodder. The feeding of late corn fodder to dairy cows should be continued just as long as the corn is at all green. It is a splendid supplementary feed with the ahort autumn pasture grass* FARM NOTES. , Plow the garden this fall. Potato growing Is proving more p rentable. Save seed from the best pumpkins and* squashes. SbJ't out seed potatoes from most productive hills. Discard Sweet corn for seed If it Shows a trace of field corn. Beets that have taken second growth are spoiled for the table. Better apply manure to the garden now than to wait until spring. A dark cool house is an ideal place to store potatoes for the next 60 days. Leave the cabbages in the field un^lKcold l e a t h e r absolutely compels removal. • They will keep better there t£ari anywhere else. T\^h^n it comes to hauling manure you cannot afford to do it in any other way .than •frith a spreader. We used to think we could, fcur. have ssalized our mistake. New varieties of potatoes are propagated by planting the seeds found in the potato balls. Thoy will be very small at first but increase in siza from continued planting.

A very handy device for pulling peach stumps from old orchards, and can pull aOO or more a day by this means, is shown in the illustration. The limbs are cut off and the stumps, e, left as long as possible. A short Tackle for Pulling Stumps. rope or chain with a single pulley U attached to the top of the stump. The anchor rope, b, which runs through the pulley, Is fastened to the bottom of a stout stump, a. A pair of steady horses is attached to the rope and always pull toward the anchor stump. With a steady pull there is no jumping or jerking, and they will walk right off as if pulling a loaded wagon. We use about 60 feet of one-inch rope, which costs $2.40 and the pulley |1.75, making a total cost of 14.15. ALFALFA IN ALL CLIMATES Has Proven Its Adaptability to Grow Everywhere and on AM Kinds of Soils. While experts have been declaring that alfalfa would only grow in certain 8oiL and in certain climate* it has proven adaptability to nearly ali climates and almost all soils, says Coburn's Book on Alfalfa. It produces with a rainfall as scant as 14 inches, and in the gulf states flourishes with 65 inches. It gives crops at r.n elevation of 8,000 feet above sea level, and in southern California it grows below sea level to a height of six feet or over, with nine cuttings a year, aggregating ten to twelve tons. An authenticated photograph in possession of the writer shows a wonderful alfalfa plant raised in the (irr/ gated) desert of southern California, 60 feet below sea level, that measures considerably more than ten feet in height. Satisfactory crops are raised, but on limited areas as yet, in Vermont and Florida. New York has grown it for over 100 years in her clay and gravel; Nebraska grows it in her western sand hills without plowing, as does Nevada on her sagebrush desert. The depleted cotton soils of Alabama and rich corn lands of Illinois and Missouri each respond generously with profitable yields to the enterprising farmer, while its accumulated nitrogen and the sub-soiling it effects are-making tb8 rich land more valuable and giving back to the crop-worn land the priceless elements of which it has been in successive generations despoiled by a conscienceless husbandry. Costly Distribution. There are many things that fail to support the view that city consumers pay high prices for supplies because farmers are a benighted class who don't know how to produce things economically. We have already cited the case of milk, which costs the consumer several times what the pro* ducer gets for it, and there are many other instances, says the Baltimore American. Tomatoes that the producer sold for 75 cents a crate cost the consumer $1.75. Cabbage that the producer sold for 35 to 1j0 cents a crate coBt the consumer $1.35, and so on. We repeat that wasteful production is less to blame than costly distribution for the prices consumers must put up for what they eat. When will both sides realize this and cooperate for better things? Importance of Pasture. The dairy pasture on the dairy farm is one of the most economical sources of feed. The success of the pastures will, in a largo, measure, determine the success of the dairy enterprise. Pay as much attention to the permanent pasture as you would to a regular cultivated crop. Reseed It every year and keep weeds and other undesirable growth cut out. Apply manure and other fertilizers and use every means to have a good, thick stand of grass and to keep it growing all through the growing season. COMMON ORCHARD MISTAKES. To plant the same varieties of apples that grew on father's farm 50 years ago. For the nurseryman to substitute something else for what the buyer ordered. To dig a hole only half large enough when planting a tree, and then wonder late in the summer, why it didn't grow. To plant an orchard carefully and then turn in a reckless hired man to cultivate i t THANKSGIVING DAY Canada's Day of Thanks a Month Earlier Than in the United States. For some reaaon better known to the Canadians themselves than to the people on this side of the line, our Canadian cousins celebrated their Thanksgiving a month or more earlier than we do. It may be that the Canadian turkey had become impatient, and sounded a note of warning, or it may be that the "frost on the pumpkin" declared itself. But whatever the reason, their Thanksgiving day is past. It may have been that the reasons for giving thanks so much earlier than we do were pushing themselves so hard and to fast that the Canadians were ashamed to postpone the event. They have had reasons, and good ones, too, tor giving thanks. Their great broad areas of prairie land have yielded in abundance, and here, by the way, it is not uninteresting to the friends of the millions of Americans who have made their home in Canada during the past few years to know that they have participated most generously in the 'cutting of the melon." Probably the western portion of Canada, comprising the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, have the greatest reason of any of the provinces to ex-. press in the most enthusiastic manner their gratitude. The results in the line of production give ample reason for devout thanksgiving to Providence. This year has surpassed all others in so far as the total increase In the country's wealth is concerned. There is no question that Providence was especially generous. The weather conditions were perfect, and during the ripening and harvesting period, there was nothing to interfere. And now it was well it was so, for with a demand for labor that could not be supplied, there was the greatest danger, but with suitable weather the garnering of the grain has been successfully accomplished. There have been low general averages, but these are accounted for by the fact that farmers were indifferent, relying altogether upon what a good soil would do. There will be no more low averages though, for this year has shown what good, careful farming will do. It will produce 130 million bushels of wheat from seven million acres, and it will produce a splendid lot of oats, yielding anywhere from 50 to 100 bushels per acre. This on land that has cost but from $10 to $15 per acre—many farmers have realized sufficient from this year's crop to pay the entire cost of their farms. The Toronto Globe says: "The whole population of the West rejoices in the bounty of Providence, and sends out a message of gratitude and appreciation of the favors which have been bestowed on the country. The cheerfulness which has abounded with industry during the past six months has not obliterated the conception of the source from which the blessings have flown, and the good feeling is combined with a spirit of thankfulness for the privilege of living in so fruitful a land. The misfortunes of the past are practically forgotten, because there is great cause to contemplate with satisfaction the comforts of the present. Thanksgiving should be a season of unusual enthusiasm." Misery. The neighbor's dog sits out on the front lawn and howls dismally. The man in the window looks out and yells: "Sh-h-h, you beast!" The dog continues to howl. The man again comes to the window and this time hurls a shoe at the dog. Still the animal howls. Another shoe follows. The next, clay the man's wife goes around in her stocking feet because she can't find her shoes. The man hasn't the price of another pair of shoes for her, and the next night the dog howls louder than ever. 3HHS5£5!335S5 STATIC OV OHIO m-v or TOUDO, I Li CAS COUNTY. (" **- FRANK .T.

With hundreds of letters reaching the royal palace in Spain, no wonder that young King Alfonso is dejected over the Ferrer agitation. He started his reign with the prospect of being one of the most- popular of contemporary monarchs, but Is 'now in a fair way to lose through the blunders of his ministers. And the loss of popularity in these days, when revolution and republicanism are in the air, is a serious matter for a royal ruler. German textile experts are turning attention to a fibre obtained from the kapok or silk cotton tree of the tropics, with a view-to ascertaining whether a substitute for cotton may thus be obtained. No doubt experiments will be carried on with the thoroughness that is characteristic of German research, and if kopok can be made to take the place of cotton no effect will be spared in that direction. But a great many things are to be taken into consideration before the superiority of kopok can be established. Cotton ia not likely to be supplanted immediately. PERISHED IN THE GREAT FOREST T H R E E MEN LOST IN T H E WOODS W H I L E H U N T I N G AND NOT FOUND. STRAY SHOT BLINDS MAN The Distressing Accident* of the Hunting Season Just Closed Have Specially Sad Features. All hope' of finding the body of Harry Browaell, of St. Charles, Mich., h a s been abandoned. Lost while deer hunting and apparently having become demented, the man is believed to have wandered many miles and then to have perished from hunger and exposure. Much snow has fallen since Brownell disappeared and there is doubt now that his remain* ever will be found. ~ ,v Arthur Lepusha, a young m a n Wl Iron wood, Mich., also la believed to have met death in the wilderness,. He disappeared from a hunting camp in the Gogebic iron range country some days ago, and at latest advices searching parties had found no trace of him. It is feared he has either perished from exposure or has been killed by some careless hunter. A similar fate is thought to have befallen Robert Beilby, C8 years old, of Dowagiac, Mich., who was hunting deer eight miles southeast of Sidnaw, In Houghton county. Beilby has been missing since Nov. 16. Kelly Davidson and Freeman Johnson, two Grand Marals boys, armed with 22-caiiber rifles, had an extremely narrow escape frcm death when they became lost in a cedar swamp. The boys struck the trail of a deer I n T h e snow and they followed it until they became bewildered. They were found, half frozen, early in the morning by a searching party whicb fortunately had stumbled across their footprints. The weather had turned bitterly cold and it is believed that the boys could not have survived the night. His Eyes Shot Out. John Dalzell, both of whose eyes Were gouged out and his nose torn off by a stray bullet, while hunting deer near St. Ignace, was brought to his Traverse City home and is now in the hospital in a serious condition. Dalzell was sitting near a runway when the bullet came out of the woods. Groping his way through the trees and falling over obstructions, he made his way a mile before he drop ped exhausted. Dan I-Jines. who was one of the party, heard Dalzell's screams threequarters of a mile awav and found him. The men had been in that vicinity for three weeks and had seen but two hunters. Dalzell Is a prosperous farmer. Four Were Drowned. Of the Carlson family, which on Thursday of last week consisted of seven children, there are but three left, Ernest, 15; Carl, 18, and Emma, 11. The other four, Oscar, Hulda, Anna and Esther, and Anna Saunders, a neighbor girl, were drowned when the gasoline launch Olga, in which they were crossing Muskegon lake on the way home from a wedding, capsized. Oscar Carlson died in a desperate efftrt to save Esther, 14; the last being seep of them by the surviyora was when they went under the water clasped in each other's arms. Their bodies have not been recovered. Ernest and Carl saved themselves by clinging to the overturned boat until help came. Emma was the only memher of the family who did not make the trip to the wedding. Mrs. Carlson, mother of the sadly depleted family, died two months ago. Their father has been dead 12 years. Remarkable Case. Fifteen years following an accident In the northern lumber woods, Herbert. Purdy, of Attica, submitted to an operation at Hurley hospital for the removal of a splinter from one of his eyes. Purdy was injured ahhut the face and head at the time of the accident, hut seemed to Ruffer no ill effects from the wound on his eye and the sight, of it never has been.impaired until just lately, when the optic began to show signs of irritation. After an examination at the hands of specialists Purdy decided upon an operation, and a piece of wood an inch long was taken from the eyeball. Surgeons say the operation will not, cost the sight of the optic. > • • • • » • * • » . . » — ' . u - BRIEF MICHIGAN'HSlWS. «». • » • MICHIGAN BREVITIES. Mrs. Thomas A.

AWAITS COURTS m * R * f t l O f « t a M M f t f Q * W J U NOT T A K t UP T H I TRUST QUESTION. WHERE'S DR. COOK GONE? The Status of the-Standard Oil Case the Ground for Obviating a Trust Discussion Just Now. After much deliberation, President Taft haa decided t o omit from hie annual message to congress any recommendation that the anti-trust law be amenuad. Thia decision carries with It an omission of a discussion of the trust question generally, according to the way the president views it. Ilia opinions on the subject are well known, however, through the medium of his public addresses during his 13,- 000-mile tour. In his determination t o avoid the trust question In, his message the president was sustained by all the members of his cabinet. A point of delicacy, born of his judicial experience, is responsible for the postpone ment of the trust discussion for it is to be a postponement merely. Mr. Taft's decision was based on the proposition t h a t with the recent opinion of the United States circuit court of officials declaring the Standard Oil Co. a combination in restraint of trade, about to be reviewed by the supreme court of the United States, it would be contrary to a strict regard for propriety to agitate the Bubject cf violations of the anti trust law in a presidential message tc congress. .?

Charles W a k e appears to be the only one who knows Cook's where abouts. Wake Is firm in his resolve to keep his lips sealed. In the meantime concern is expressed over the condition of Dr. Cook's health.

They were scourged with cato'- nine tails and treated with every possible indignity. The Americans bore the t o r t u r e bravely and stood up unblindfolded while the Nlcaraguan soldiers fired the deadly shots into their bodies. Even the soldiers revolted at the cruelties which the Zelaya commander inflicted upon the defenseless Americans, and tcld t h e condemned men that they were sorry they had obeyed the orders.

Special schools for tuberculous children have now been established in Providence, Boston,New York, Rochester, Washington, Hartford, Conn., Chicago and PittBburg.

The, board of education of New York city is proposing to establish three more, and similar Institutions are being planned in Detroit, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Newark, N . J . In cities like Providence, Boston and New York, where outdoor schools have been conducted for two years, the results obtained from the treatment of children in special tuberculosis open air schools seem to show the great advantage of this class of institutions.

Coffee Is such a secret worker that it is not suspected as the cause of sickness or disease, but there is a very sure way to find out the truth. A lady in Memphis gives an interesting experience her husband had with coffee. It seems that he had been using It for some time and was an invalid. The physician in charge shrewdly suspected t h a t coffee was the "Worm at the root of the tree," and ordered It discontinued with instructions to use Postutn regularly In its place. The wife says: "We found t h a t was the true remedy for his stomach and heart trouble and we would have gladly paid a hundred times the amount of the doctor's charge when we found how wise h i s Judgment was. "The use of Postum-instead of eo#« fee was begun about a year ago, f * 4 it has made m y husband a strong, well man. He h a s gained thirty-five pounds (n that time and his stomach and heart troubles have all disappeared. "The first time f prepared it I did not boil It long enough and he said there was something wrong with It. Sure enough it did taste very flat, but the next morning I followed directions carefully, boiling It for fifteen minutes, and he remarked 'this is better than any of the old coffee.* "We use Postum regularly and never tire of telling our friends of the benefit we have received from leaving off coffee."

Lying awake, the boy could not bear (e think that the dear horse and cow stood hungry in the barn* on their last night of life; how he stole into the kitchen and found . the coarse hread and the milk that were saved for his own breakfast, and carried ;.them out to the stable; how, as he came to the door, he' heard strange hoarse voices speaking low, and listened and found that It was IfWedel a n * Minna *ta4klng together; how jthea he remembered that onoe a year, at midnight on Christmas Eve, dumb beasts may find speech in memory of the night when the Christ-child lay among beasts, in the manger; how little Haas listened to theithia old horse and the hungry old cow and heard them grieving for the ppverty of their master and mis* tresB and heard them speak J>t the secret which, if the beasts might have speech .to tell it, wouki make every4 thing right; how Hans went in boldly then and gave the animals his breaklast, and asked them to tell him the secret; how they told him, in unused* rusty Voices, that beneath the empty stall of the stable was A treasure Of gold, buried a thousand years before by the Romans, which would make his mother and father richer than they could dream; and how just then the bells of the distant village rang for Christmas morning, and the poor beasts were dumb again, and Hans went back to his bed and waited for daylight to tell his father and mother, who dug for the treasure and found it and were happy with the horse and cow, and'rich ever after. *The story ended and the children were quiet, as if listening, thrilled, to those stammering hoarse tones of the good brutes In the chilly stable. "Now, chickens, you must go to your roosts," the mother broke their dream, and her words ended in a sigh. "Father! It's too bad to have him laft out of Christmas Eve, isn't it?" "Yes, It is," agreed Benny sturdily. "Nobody cnn say 'Peaceful Was th*) Night' 'cept father. It's too bad for father he had to go to the thing-ma-jig's funeral;" and, being Christmas Eve, Benny went unreproved for the description of his great-uncle. "Pather'll be home before morning, won't he?" asked the girl, and went on. "Oh, I remember. You said some time in the night, but we can't tell when, 'cause the trains get late. Well, I hope he'll be here In the morning when we wake up. it wouldn't be Christmas without father; would it, mother?" "I can't bear to have him out so late," the little woman said, and her tones were troubled. She went on as if thinking aloud—a way she had with her big babies. "Father isn't well—he ought to go south—I wish, he could go," and Benny answered in strong baby tones: "Oh, he can't go, mother. We have not got money enough—you said we hadn't," "No, dear, we haven't," she sighed; and the girl shook her mane of hair back thoughtfully. "I wish I could 3nd a lot of money like Hans, i'or father," she said. The fascination of the firelight as the children lay in their beds, their mother gone, held the drowsy eyes open. Th* girl, the more aggressive, the more imaginative of the two, went back, with a thought working its way In her mind, to the story which had a hold on both, the story of how two dumb brutes may talk onco a year^n Christmas Eve. "Do you believe it's true, Benny?" she consulted her brother. "Mother didn't say It wasn't, you know." "Then it's true, and I believe It's true," said Benny stoutly. "I'm glad they can. I know Nigger would enjoy a talking. He looks like he wanted to ^ t a l k when he squeals, and he squeals ""words sometimes. I heard him say *corn bread' one day." Alice lifted . her brown head from the pillow and leaned on one elbow and stared into the fire. "Nigger's out in the barn," she reflected. "Father took Mr. Jarvis' horse because-'Nigger's foot was lame. Benny—" she began excitedly, and stopped. Benny gave an enormous yawn and turned his heavy yellow head. • Whu-ut?" he inquired. "Don't go to sleep, Benny—listen!" the girl begged. "I've got an i d e a - something lovely, really. Why can't we go to the stable to-night—it's Christmas Eve—and listen to Nigger talking, like Hans listened to Friedel and. Minna? And maybe he'll know about, some treasure and we could get lots of money, *nd give i f to father to go south with. Mother would be gla4." The boy's sleepy eyes opened and gazed at her. "Wouldn't It be naughty?" As happened once before In a garden, •'the woman tempted him." Benny was swept out on the tide of his sister's adventurous spirit, and while the fire steamed and purred an undertone they made their plans. Very nearly were the plans shipwrecked by Nature, however, for, as they waited till the night should be older, the clock ticked, the fire sang a lullaby, and the children fell asleep. But at half-past eleven a log dropped noisily, the light of it brazed up and the adventurer-ln-chlef, the deed to be done in her veins, awakened. It needed all her energy to persuade the boy, numb with sleep, that sleep was not the one possibility In a midnight world. But there was a persistent spirit In her, and In ten minutes two muffled little figures crept through the shadowy house and out over the white lawn, misty with atillfalllng snow, and up the slope to the door of the stable. There were half-visible footsteps in the white carpet on the ground, but the big flakes had blilfred them, the children did not notice. An hour before a man had hurried along the road from town, a powerful man, walking fast. As he walked he spoke to himself in a low tone. "The note about Pat O'Hara's broken leg ought to take him three miles out of his way—It ought to delay him bent arm tightened. The clinging ghost-boy clutched closer. I * "You couldn't hurt him!' Ton could not do It In this place, where the good yettrs of your life were passed. You know every foot of this ground:—every foot of it has a happy association You've played hide-and-seek In that: barn of Harding's, and gone to sleep In the hay-loft. Can you go there and take money from htm?" The man's hand new out "It's not his money—I wouldn't rob him. It's money that ought to be mine—it belongs to Sidney Maxwell, my cousin, and it's Maxwell money—family money. They make millions a year—I'm one of them and I've nothing—worse than nothing. I ought to be as rich as he—it's a drop in the bucket to what I ought to have." "Whose fault is it that you haven't it?" the Insistent whisper came. "You threw away your chance." "I know it—I was a fool—I couldn't be controlled. But I was young, five years ago. If my father had lived, my uncle wouldn't have turned me out. It was Sidney who was down on me—reliable, satisfactory Sidney, who never had a temptation—never made a mistake—never threw away his birthright for a mess of pottage. He's gone from success to success without an effort." The man groaned. "I hate him!" he muttered. "I'm his flesh and blood, and he never throws a thought to me. We had our Christmas trees together, and played* with our rocking-horses on the rug before the fire. He was kind as a big brother to me then. But now, the ends of the earth are no farther apart than he and I—Carl Maxwell, my chances all gone, a failure, a pauper." He shuddered. "This night a thief. Ah!" The syllable snapped sharply and he threw out his powerful arms. "No, my chances are not all gone—there's one left." He struck, his breast with his hand where the letter lay Inside. "My one chance of beginning new is this night. I'll get that money which ought to be mine, and to-morrow I'll be off for China, and take up Bill Bacon's offer, and be an honest man, by Heaven, a successful one this time! I've got it in me, and I've learned my lesson. My God! I've learned my lesion. I'll work hard and earn my life and I'll send back this three thousand to Sidney Maxwell with my first savings. I will. Jove—it's a straight "He's Talkin'—Nigger's Talkin'!1 an hour. Lucky I remembered where the horse and trap would be kept." He passed a stream, tinkling silverly in the stillness under its roof of ice and snow. He halted and Rtared down. "I took my first trout in that hole." he murmured, and swung on. But the ghost of a boy had caught his arm and clung to him and went with him down the road. He could not shake the ghost-boy loose. "Dr. Harding took you home to lunch that day," the boy whispered, "and the trout was cooked, and they made an event of i t " "Well, what of that?" the man answered the memory aloud. "I'm not going to hurt Dr. Harding, am 1?" "He won't give up what he has set himself to guard." The big fellow spoke again grimly: "He'll have to." The muscles of his road—it's a chance in a million for a man at the last gasp. I'd be a cowardly fool not to take it—and after all I'm just borrowing—not stealing. I'll send it back sure as fate." The sophistry which has soothed many consciences was good enough for this desperate one. Something which felt like self-respect, the unused sensation of a hope, sent him springing over the two miles from the railroad town to Fattfleld, and through dim, well-remembered lanes to Fairfield parsonage. He found his way readily down the shadowy drive to the stable, and the door, left unlocked for the master, opened at a touch. The horse stamped In his stall in the dark, and Maxwell went to him and spoke quietly, and he was still. There was an empty stall next, where would be put' the other horse arriving with Dr. Harding, and here the man • stowql Ihlfiasif,^ JrVftcn the clergyman led the animal- to the opening, then, while ^is hand* were busy, would b$ the time. • He'sat drajwn tegetheV, Jn the thick straw^ watting. Nigger, In the stall close by, stamped uneasily and put his black nose through the opening/above and sniffed and blew. He could see the horse's eyes gleaming in the darkness, and feel his warm breath. So settled was his mind on the deed to come that he dropped into a sleep, comfortably wrapped in the straw. Yet his nerves were alert, and he sat up quickly, on. guard at a light, aound from the outside. What was It? Even allowing for the snow-covered road it was not the sound of wheels—and, while he wondered, the Bide door of the building,' which faced him as he sat hidden, opened. A late moon had risen, making the landscape outside as clear as day, and against the white ground he saw, astonished, the figures of two children sharply silhouetted. The big girl held the boy by the hand as they peered In. The man, unprepared for this complication, watched them, troubled, uncertain, and immediately the boy spoke in a full, sweet voice. "He's not talkin', Alice," the boy said. "Let's go back—I'd rather go to bed." But the girl stepped forward, warily poised, -yet determined, and drew her brother. "Maybe he doesn't know It's us," she said. "I don't want to go back till I see." She dropped the boy's hand and was at the door of the boxstall. "Nigger," she whispered, "Nigger," and the horse whinnied and turned his head toward her. The boy had followed, stumbling across the floor. "Maybe he doesn't know it's Christmas," he suggested. "Let's sing a carol so he'll remember." The man in the stall listened. In a low tone, because it was a mysterious business they were on, the two sang: Silent niprht, hallowing1 dawn, F a r and wide breaks the morn, Breaks the day when the Saviour of men Bringing pardon and healing again, Holy, harmless and undefined—Cometh a little child. "Pardon and healing!" They sang it and they were silent, waiting. Nigger sniffed softly, then whinnied. Penny's slow speech began coaxingly: I had a little pony His name was Dapple Gray; I lent him to a lady— He halted, listening. "I thought maybe he'd like that because it's about a horse, I thought it would Interest him," Benny explained, and proceeded as if by force of Inertia: Goosey, goosey gander, Whither do you wander Up-stairs— Alice interrupted. 'That hasn't got a single thing to do with Christmas, Benny." "But it's on the next page," Benny argued stolidly. Alice was firm. "It isn't the right kind of poetry—it ought to be sort of churchy and religious, because Nigger's a clergyman's horse and it's Christmas Eve." "Maybe he's afraid," she said, in a disappointed tone, yet still hopeful. "Benny, say the verse about 'Fear not' to him—that might make him not be afraid." The unseen audience listened as Benny, persuadingly, as man to man, recited a hymn to Nigger. " 'Fear not.'—" urged Benny— "Fear not," .said He. for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind, "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind." "Glad tidings of great joy!" The young man in the straw sat quiet and listened. Whatever encouragement for beasts might be in a Christmas hymn, Benny meant, to extend it to Nigger. Unhurried, with the sleepy note of a bird going to roost, his piping voice plodded on, telling a tale which he did not doubt. With the full angel soag he ended: All glory he to God on high. And on the earth be peace. Good-will henceforth from H e a v e n to men Begin and never cease. "Peace! Good-will!" There \vas a stir in the empty stall, but the children did not hear it. From a mile away down the road came faintly a sound of hoof-beats, and Nigger blew out an agitated breath and whinnied again gently. It was very quiet. Alice and Benny, standing patient, thrilled suddenly as a strange, hoarse voice issued from the darkness. "Merry Christmas, children!" the voice said. The girl clutched the boy's shoul der. "He's talkin'—Nigger's talkin',' Renny announced, interested but iin perturbed. (TO BE CONTINUED.) LOST REGISTERED" IJETTCB FOUND IN QUEER PUCE Missed From a Mangled Malt Bag, They are Recovered From Car Trucks. It does not always follow that the disappearance of registered mail packages indicate a robbery of the mail. This was demonstrated on The Overland Limited train No. ,2 Friday, November 5th, when a pqfV age of five registered letters from Schuyler disappeared between that point and Omaha. . " The recovery of the lost package was as Btrange as its disappearance. The Schuyler pouch, is picked < up from a crane by means of a poach catcher as the train passes. This pouch catcher is attached to the mail car and hooks onto the pouch suspended from the crane as the train passes. In this particular instance the pouch catcher did not make a good catch and the pouch fell under the wheels of the train and was cut in two. The mail was scattered along the track for a considerable distance, but the five registered letters, which were In a packet, could not be found when the other mail was picked up. The Impression at once prevailed that the registere J package had been found and kept by some one and it was reported as lost Postofflce Inspector L. A. Thompson was started out to Investigate. His first visit was to Council Bluffs to make inquiries of the postal clerks on the car, and scarcely had he reached there when he received word that the registered package had found by the car cleaner rartipg ly on the trucks under tttt dtaiag car, where It had been btewn 49 thrown when the mail pouch was flung under the wheels at Schuyler. That the package was not injured In the slightest, nor jarred from its position on the trucks, is simply another tribute to the Union Pacific's unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track.

Wm, ty *ir>rlnw Pre* ekttea.] "Harry, d m r , " said tbe young wife en her <l«ftt&be4, "wheo I am gone forget me. Seek aome on* to All the place I leave v a c a n t Don't delay. Never mind If the world aay*. T h i s man haa no sooner burled one wife than he begins looking for another. 1 know what la beat for you. The longer you put It off the less yon will desire It, and 1 don't wish you to become again used to bachelor habits." *TPhe place you will leave vacant will Ksmaln v a c s n t " **I have given yon my wish; I can't argue with you, and I c a n t remain with yon to Influence you, though, If possible, 1 will do so from the other existence. One word more. If yon delay and become a middle aged or an old man before marrying again choose a young woman who will bear you children to love yon and for you to love. When yon think of me picture me watching over you trying to lead you in the path that 1 know will alone bring you happiness." When all was over and be began the life without her these words came back to • him, and he was wonder stricken that they should have been spoken by a woman, and that woman his own wife. "But the realization of her wish ia impossible," he reasoned, "because 1 shall never find the woman who can fill the place she has left vacant, and If I could find one who could fill It I would not wish it filled." j On this account and from preference ; he hugged her memory and ignored j ber wishes. Shortly before her death and while she was in the flush of health her portrait had been painted. This portrait he took from the wall where it hung and placed it over his desk in his study. He was a literary man, and his work was Influenced by the woman whose mental and moral Btrengtb and virtues were memorized In the portrait. A year passed, and he still loved—a memory. Was It love or the memory of a love? He never asked himself the question. He did not doubt that It was love. It might not occupy his mind, he admitted, as much as at first, but this is true of one we love who has been gone a long while. Those who are absenLdo not occupy our thoughts as tf they were present, but on their return we find them as dear to us a« ever. At times he would remember her earnest look when she had made her last strange request and would experience a momentary troubled regret that he could not accede to it Then he would recall the reason and would be satisfied. One day five years after ber death he stood looking at her picture. It. seemed to him that there was a more mature look about it than he had before noticed. The lips did not appear so red, the eyes not quite so bright. Then a sudden pleasing thought struck him. He was growing older, and some unexplained mental or, rather, soul construction within blm was enabling him to see her growing older with him. Whence It sprung or what power bad planted it he cared not, It was there. They would grow old together. Another period passed, and he noticed a greater change. The cheek seemed to have lost some of Its roundness. The nostril was thinner. There were faint whitish pencil streaks on the hair that might be the effect of light on the canvas or n beginning of white hair. There were lines about the eyes and on the neck. Two feelings within him contended for mast e r y - n pleasure that he was not leaving her In youth behind him and a distress that her beauty was fading. These mingled feelings did not leave him. He thought the distress that she should change was unnatural. Doea a huRband regret to seethe wife he loves grow plain? Does she. indeed, grow plain to himV The latter question set him off on .-mother course of thought. Supposing a man loses a wife of twenty. At forty or fifty she comes back to him. 1» love the same as if she had grown old beside him? He could not make up bis mind that it would be. From this time he noticed a change In his feelings toward the picture. It was not the same to him. in vain he tried to get used to this singular transformation m It. which he attributed td" some mystical Rout effect. He felt that it and he were diverging. Instead of growing old together they were growing old on different dues. Then It began to be repulsive to him. He wiis struggling with a desire to remove it when one morning a girl of twenty Hthmbled Into his study. Her cheeks were ruddy enough without the blush that spread itself from her forehead to her dimpled chin. A startled look was in her eye, followed quickly by an embarrassed smile that parted her lips, showing her white teeth. Tln-u, Isji:-n-iiu withdrawing, •he shut the door .. From this vision of youthful loveliness he turned to rhe picture, it was • portrait of one the tmtue age us Ida girl who had entereo and withdrawn. Once It I>;MI SO appeared LU him, £iew It w;i* i Ue likentsa of u middle aged woman He did not t*top to wonder, us tv ti-il Hiiiu: uunf oeiore, why thus was so. lie weur urn ami followed thu receding girl. After be* had married her he put thu picture of his tlrst vvlle away. To others it Is the portrait ot a youug woman. To him he knows not what it is. for he never looks at It. lie believes the soul effect he had experienced wu.s sent by his wife to bqnd blm to her request. Notice!

V X f c v y o u *e« the blue sparks?" ttked Isergll, the mummy-like old gipsy from the steppe of Bessarabia— the. wide steppe which had been her ctadle, her home, and was ready soon to grant, thajt surest of all shelters, her grave. '% Isergil, cannot see them any more—there is much that I can no longer see. I am ages old, but the dancing lights are always there." v g e s / I see-the little blue flames; whjyfcj^re "they?" I had often heard w^tfcon of- those fairy light, not fata "morgana, not Insect, b\it I wished to near the old sibyl's version. "Those sparks come from the hot heart of Danko," she began, in tones tfcftt vibrated with intense belief *nd feeling—the born narrator of the legends of her tribe. "There was once in the world a heart that flamed like fire, and the blue gleams are the sparks from that flame. Listen! I will tell you the old, old story, and how it was in that long dead past, of which there is nothing good left; no moro real men; no real deeds; no real stories as in those days. "A fig for you young people of modern times! what do you know? what do you understand? Look back into the past; there, everything is explained; but you, (polish children of to-day, look not bact, as do I, old IsergU, and I see, though my eyes are dim; i see that you young ones know nt>t how to live. You wait always for opportunity which cornea not of its own self. Then, when you find that you have wasted your time, you whimpier over your fate. ""What is fate? Everybody makes his own. There are many kinds of people to-day, except great and mighty ones—where are they? And beauty in man and woman—still less is there of that'." After a Ion,; pause, the ancient one resumed: "Ages ago there was a band of people, where it was I cannot tell you. I only know that the camp of these people was surrounded on three Hides by a tall, impenetrable* forest, and on the fourth side lay the steppe. "They were a strong, joyous, daring folk, probably gypsies, content with little, and happy in the good of each day as it came. "After a time strange tribes crept In among them bringing discord and unrest, and driving these simple folk, few in comparison, deeper into the woods. Here it was dismal with swamp and darkness, because the forest waa old as time, and so dense that one saw no sky between the branches, and hardly a ray of light pierced through to the sodden ground. The people sickened and died like strickeu sheep. Distracted with the weeping of their women and children, the men looked helplessly in each other's hol^ low eyes, asking in vain for rescue. Two ways there were out. of the snare ~-one backward to the cruel grip of the enemy; the other, forward, to a far deeper, denser forest, Giant trees clasping each other in a tangled em brace, with roots like twisted iron, deep rn the black slime. Here at high noon a dim twilight only flickered down through the branches, and at night when the wind blew it wailed like a dirge for these people at bay from their enemy in the dreary forest fastness. • Night. .£fter night the outcasts sat around their canip fire and bethought thomselves of a way to freedom, but in vain. Nothing, neither work nor follies, so weaken men as anxious, brooding thoughts, whtch suck the blood 'from the heart. "Fear srese In the breast of these men, and the women drove them to despair with wailing oyer their dead and the bitter fate of those still living. At first in faint whispers in the cump, then louder and bolder, tht> - tribe declared that bondage was better than death—they would give up /their freedom and return as slaves to their enemy. "Then rose up Danko, the rescuer of them all. He, Danko, was one of the band, a beautiful youth and brave— the beautiful are always brave—and thus he spoke to his companions: •' 'Thinking moveH no stone out of the way. Action only counts. Why are we waiting our strength with fret verves, one and ail!' 'They looked at the youth and saw I in bis eyee that which made1 him their leader and superior. 'Lead W ' clamored they all, and he led them." Old Isergll paused and looked out over * the steppe where the sparks from the hot heart of Danko gleamed lik,e bl_ujp, flowers. "Dankp led thapi; willingly and trustfully they followed. "That was a weary way, dark as night, with the black mud of the marsh yawning for prey, and the trees in close ranks like a mighty wall. Their branches were interwoven like a knot of snakes, everywhere their twisted roots colled and clung; every step cost blood and sweat. Onward they toiled, each morrow's hardship worse than yesterday's; each day their strength less. "At last it grew so dark In the forest that it was as if all the nights, that had ever been since time began, had melted into one blackness. The thunder rolled, the wanderers staggered helplessly among the rocking treeB, blinded by the cold, blue lightning. 'They halted, and in the roar of the forest, in the thick of the darkness, exhausted and angry, they turned upon Danko: 'A useless creature are you, harmful and hateful to us all,' they began. 'You have led us forth j lament or tear* Danko ever at the head of the troop, hie heart flaming, flaming, and ever flaming. "Suddenly the forest opened and fell back, and Danko ^witJ* his Qock found thmauelvea bathed in .a #ea of sunshine, and pure, uweat-eevated rain-washed air from ,the BtKApe fanned taek faces. Th*i!eeto#t>^aa behind them, grumbling qver-Jpe, forest; here the sun beamed* the KM* sparkled with rain diamonds, and ft> river glowed like gold:K% TMe'WWttSg sun turned the river red, likjfr* the blood that dripped from Danko'a torn breast. "The proud, brave Danko cast hlB dying gate over the.broad steppe, and laughed with joy at the sight ot the pleaaant land—then he sank down and died, "The wondering trees began a dirgelike murmur, and the .grass, wet with Dankoo's blood, whispered in sympathy, but the happy, hopeful people took no more notice of Danko—saw not that he lay dead, nor that beside his body, on the sod, hia brave heart still flamed. "One cautious soul only saw the glow, and, fearful of danger, trampled the proud heart with his foot. Then was the flame quenched and scattered in a thousand sparks. These are the blue lights which dance on the steppe before a thunderstorm." As the old woman ended her fantastic story, a profound stillness fell over the steppe, as if it, too, were awed by the power of the brave Danko, the bold spirit which burned itself out for humanity without asking reward. Isergil sank into uneasy slumber, and watching her, I mused over the many legends stored in her memory—What power of human •fancy to conceive these legends; what heroism and bravery adorned that golden past! And our present—poor in strong men and great events—rich in cold distrust that turns everything into wmammmmm^mmt^m^^tmmm WEDDING GUESTS DROWN x .¾ s -. Q Smell Fire in Boat Create* Panic and .

'I have the courage to lead, theiefore I do it—and you—what have you done to help yourselves? You follow only,..and youtvCDurage Is too weak for tad.strain of hardship. You only follow—follow like a drove of sheep.' These >vorda angered the people still more. 'You sheftl' die!' they cried, and to their clamor the wind howled an echo, and the lightning tore renta.ia the darlwaaa. "Danko gazed upon them, his followers, for whose sake he had borne such toil and suffering, and saw that they were like wild beasts. They crowded about him, but in no eye was the light of kindneas—to no one could he look for help. Then anger, against the people flamed .in bis heart only to quench itself Boon in pity. He loved these, his companions, and knew that without him they would perish. Then his heart glowed anew with desire to save them and lead them upon an easy path, and forth from his eyes gleamed the light of this desire." "The forest sang unceasingly its solemn song, the thunder roared and the rain gushed in streams. 'What can I do for my people!' cried Danko in a voice louder than the thunder. Suddenly he rent open his breast, tore out his throbbing heart and held it high above his head. It flamed as bright, as the sun, and even brighter; the whole forest fell silent, awed by his torch of love for humanity; the darkness fluttered away from this light and sank trembling in the black mold of the swamp. The amazed stood as if turned to stone. "Follow!1' cried Danko, striding for ward, his glowing heart, held high in his uplifted hands, lighting the way to the people who flung themselves madly in his wake. The roar of the forest, began again, but the sound of it was drowned by the rushing footsteps of the people. Everyone ran, fearless and fast, enchanted by the sight of the burning heart. Many fell by the way and died even now, but without Unwritable English. "Did you know that there is at least one sentence in English that can be spoken, but that it is impossible to write?" asked a Cambridge university don. "Yes, it's correct English, I suppose, and then again it isn't. Here is the sentence, although I vow I don't know how you are going to write it: There are three twos in the English language.' You see, if you spell two, t w o , the sentence is incorrect, as it is if you spell it either 'too' or 'to.' Catch the point? Really, it is incorrect to say it, although it certainly should be possible to express the thought. This thing has set me going, and It simply goes to show what a tangle the English language is. There certainly is a word 'two,' and a word 'too,' and another 'to,' aDd Ihey are all three nronounced alike— two, too, or to—whtch makes it correct to say: 'There are three...twos,' or 'three toos' or 'three tos' in the English language. But what's the use?"—Tit-Hits. Crusade to Exterminate Rabies* The destruction of all animals afflicted with rabies and the propermuzzling of all dogs In areas Infected with' the disease are strongly* advocated by John W. Kerr, assistant surgeon- general, and Arthur M. Stimson, passed. assistant surgeon^ of the pub lie health and marine hospital service, In a report made public today. There were 111 deaths of human beings from hydrophobia in 30 states during 1908. Rabies was reported it the lower-animals from at least 63f~ localities in 39 states and territories, including the District of Columbia Evidence was secured of nearly 1,500 persons who were obliged to take the Pasteur treatment. The most striking feature brought out is the very general distribution of the disease throughout the eastern portion of the country and its almost complete absence from the extreme western part, especially the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast regions. The animals reported as having been affected with' the rabies were ,dogs, cats, wolves, hordes, cattle, Bheep, hogs, squirrelB and last, but not least, "skunks." It was among "skunks" that the disease was reported in Ariiona and the single death among human beings in that state followed the bite of one of those animals. . , , . , , -U. Although Loft In E.

Miss Maitland, the Scottish International golf player, and Mr. S.

Just In the Nick of Time Newsboy Came to the Rescue Crowd of Men of Erudition and Intelligence. of The mean man was a well-dressed and intelligent, looking man. He had come out of the postofflce and he stood on the steps and gazed fixedly acrosR the street.until he had stopped 30 pedestrians, who also gazed and inquired of each other what they were gazing at. Then the mean man took off his bat, made a bow to those around him and began: "fientlenien, during the late discussion of the tariff all of you read about ad valorem in connection with it. I now ask you what the meaning of the term is?" No one answered. Fifty more people came up and stopped, and the mean man raised his voice and leaked: "Ad valorem, gentlemen—who can j tall me what sd valorem is?" The silence was painful. Then 25 more men halted and whisperingly asked who was dead, and the mean m m vailed out: "Gentlemen, there are old men and young men here. There are men of erudition and intelligence. I am asking what, ad valorem means?" Those men of erudition and intelligence looked at each other in a sheepish way and took no chancsi. The crowd increased to 200, and again the mean man demanded to know what, ad valorem meant. It wa« then, and while at least half the crowd were thinking of tearing him limb from limb that a newsboy held up his hand and then piped: "I know sir. Teddy shot one in Africa and hasjient him over to the John Smith institute. He looks sunthin' like a hog!"—Joe Kerr, in Boston Olobe.

The potato was not known in Europe until after the expedition of Sir Walter Raleigh, and it is supposed that it was he who carried it to Europe in 1585. Other authorities claim that Sir FrancW *Drake carried this Important product to England in 1586. By 1771 only two varieties, one red and one white, were mentioned in an important work on Eatrnsh gardening. In 1772, when the g r u £ crops failed in Germany, the potato became a favorite crop.

A very hs.ndy stitgh -horse for holding leathef "rfnd blankets While sewing them can be made from two barrel staves. Cut them in two In the mid* die and fasten them securely to a four-inch block at the bottom./ One can sit on a chair and hold this horse- between his knees, but a better plan j s to fasten it to a board 18 inches or'two feet long and eight to ten inches wide. By sitting on the board you will hold the horse very firmly. •" • " " ' A Clever and- Alfalfa for Horses. There is a general feeling among farmers and horsemen that clover and alfalfa hay is not well adapted to horses. The reason for/ this belief is largely due to the fact that legume hay is often very dusty and sometimes moldy. The fact remains, however, that all legume hay Is not thus unfitted for horse7 feeding. Where properly put up it Is as valuable for young growing horses and brood mares as it is for other stock. The Legumes ss 8tock Feed. The legumes, such as all the clovers and alfalfa, are the most valuable forage plants known to man. They are valuable in that they are heavy yieldera of most palatable feed but chiefly so in their nutritive content Containing, aa they do, a higher per cent of nitrogen, the most rare and costly element in stock feed, than any other forage plants, gives them their greater value. Nitrogen is the muscle or flesh-forming element of feed, carbon is the fat-forming. The latter is comparatively common and cheap and predominates greatly in all grains and true grasses. TOT instance corn contains 66.7 pounds of carbohydrates to 7.8 protein or nitrogenous substance, >oata a j to 47.3, timothy hay 1.8 to 43.4. If you select seed corn from the stalk before husking time it Is posai- Lie you , choose smoother ears than you would at husking time. Earllnes* and smoothness go together.

Mrs. Rachel Ivte, Henrietta, Texas, sayfr: "I would be ungrateful if I did not tell what Doan's Kidney Pills h a v e done for me. Fifteen years kidney trouble clung to me, my existence was one of misery and for two whole years I was unable to go out of the house, My back ached all the time and I was utterly weak, unable at times to walk Without assistance.

The least of this article Is worn by savages or nativeB, which is a piece of cloth or a few leaves or feathers round the waist in cold countries, same as Eskimos, the people wear more clothes than we do, count of the icy cold out there. They can skate all the year round, except about one thaw there is in summer, if they walked about like natives they would catch cold directly and die of bronkltls. We put clothes on which are nearly like our bodies, some have cap&r coats and trousers, but women and girls wear hats and frocks to tell who they are."

PXNCKNBT. - MICHIGAN LOSSES FROM THE BOLL WEEVIL. 1 The bulletin of the department of' agriculture on the Mexican-hull weevil sheds very little new light on the subject. No remedy has been fduntt for that moat voracious aa# deetruettsre insect; and the <Iapart*pn,t.iftg*ely reiterates its recommendation with regard to the burning of :the ; cotton etalks and the work during the winter looking to keep down the peajl—polnia upon which the southern1 tinners have been well instructed of late, aid which they are thoroughly carrying out' The only gratifying part of the bulletin is the estimate that the amount of damage caused by the weevil is 125,000,000. This Is the figure given two and three years ago, when the weevil was restricted to Texas. The damage had grown from year to year up to that time, and it was expected that It would continue to grow as the weevil spread eastward, until it rose to a heavy proportion of the crop. In spite of this spread of the pest, the total loss remains the same, amounting to not more than four per cent, of the crop. Of course, some localities—and Louisiana most of all—has suffered more, but the cotton crop as a whole is not materially reduced by the weevil, and the amount it returns to the southern farmers will be very little cut down. Secretary Wilson, who has been touring New York state investigating the condition and causes of abandoned farms, says that the trouble la with the farming and not with the farms. The soil is not exhausted. Profitable crops are possible. Scientific knowledge and work are the essentials. Scientific agriculture in the so-called manufacturing states where proximity to urban centers with their markets adds to the value of any crop deserves to be recognised as one of the most important phases of the conservation of resources and of relief from the present burdensome cost of living. The challenger of the beef trust, the dairy product trust, the poultry and egg trust is not the legislator, but the small farmer who is an independent and cannot be bought up. If anything be needed to prove that the United States is not lacking in esthetic culture, as has been charged so frequently, the recent agitation In Germany, promulgated by Dr. Wilhelm Bode, general director of the Royal Art museums at Berlin, and one of the foremost art connoisseurs of the world, should set at rest all doubtB. Dr. Bode sees a dire menace to the art treasures of Europe in the wide-open purses of American millionaires and, in anticipation of a widespread exodus of masterpieces when our new tariff schedule, admitting works of art more than 20 years old free of duty, shall have become a law, Is seeking to prevent the threatened spoliation. A Milwaukee couple want to be divorced— the husband, because his wife insisted on his accompanying her on shopping tours; the wife, because her husband wore neckties that did not match her gowns, says the Baltimore American. With the most sacred of human relations made such a travesty as these absurdly trivial complaints suggest, it is no wonder that the government is collecting divorce statistics which are alarming the thinking men and women of the country for the stability of society. The dirigible-balloon feature planned in connection with tb» Hudson- Fulton show, although not officially part of that celebration, proved a lamentable failure. The trouble was that the balloons would not go; at least not far enough to make a really impressive exhibition. The aeroplanes made some successful though leas ambitious flights. All of which goes to show that a good deal is still to be done before airships can be relied upon for regular transportation service. Spelling matches used to be a popular form of entertainment in rural schools, and It was helpful, too, for It made for proficiency in spelling. Boys and girls then learned to spell with their minds Instead of spelling always with their eyes from the printed page. There are now many men and women who can write with ease some of the most difficult words in the English language, but without pen or pencil they could not spell some of the almpleat word* of the language. GMMTON SAYS LAW IS VALID CO-AUTHOR OP WARNER-CRAM TON LAW EXPLAIN* HOW NEW LAW 18 CONSTITUTIONAL. LICENSE CAN BE REVOKED Cramton Pokes Holea In Attempt of 8aioonm«n to Defy Law—Detroit Liquor Dealers to Tost Validity of New Law. Rep. Louia C. Cramton, of Lapeer, leader of the "dry" forces In the house during the last aeaaion of the legislature, Issued a statement ID which he poked a number of holes In the proposition advanced by certain Detroit saloonkeepers who seem determined to find Borne way of breaking the Warner-Cramton liquor law. Whoever is advising the Detroit liquor dealers has evidently lost sight of the major propoadtlon upon which the whole new portion of the liquor law is based, viz., that the old liquor law provided for a tax system, while the present liquor law provides for a license, to secure which the saloonkeeper must enter into an agreement to abide by certain provisions of the new law. "The provision as to revocation of licenses on second conviction is certainly the most important change made by the new liquor law," says Rep. Cramton. "I am entirely confident- of its validity, and an attack by the liquor dealers will only serve to make conspicuous their hostility to law enforcement. They ahould note Justice Sherwood's remarks in the case on which they rely, 'The talons of the criminal law are seldom found resting heavily upon the innocent.* "While it is true that the revocation provision in the old law was declared invalid in 68 Mich., the new provision is radically different. In that case the dealer paid an annual tax and it was held that to take away the business on which the tax had been paid would be unconstitutional. "The money now paid by the dealer is paid as a fee for & license and the authorities uniformly hold that a license can be revoked for cause. Furthermore, when the license Is applied for the application must contain 'an agreement, in the event of the issuance of a license to such applicant, upon sueh application such a license shall be revokable as provided in this act.' Can it be possible that it is unconstitutional to.,hold.a,.liquor dealer to his contract with the Btate to obey the law? "An existing license granted undei the old law can not be revoked on two convictions. The dealer will simply be unable to get a renewal next year. The proceedings by mandamus would not reach the point, as the determination of the question of validity of this provision wpuld not affect the balance of the act. The only person who can raise the question Is a dealer who has been granted a license since Sept. 1, 1909, and has been twice convicted of violation of the law." Government After Lumbermen. It Is learned from an authoritative source that the government is making investigations which will involve a number of prominent lumbermen in such charges as fraudulent entries ol homestead lands, and deliberately stealing off government and filed lands. Instances are said to have been discovered where the proper filing has been made for homestead lands in Chippewa county, but the require ments thereafter were not lived up to. Some would live in other cities, visiting their land only occasionally. It is understood that some of these wouldbe homesteaders filed with no intention of living there, but merely de sired to strip it of its timber. Some deliberate steals without any claim whatever being filed have been discovered. Some homesteaders have gone to their lands after filing, only to find It robbed of its timber. Twenty such cases are said to have been discovered in Chippewa county not naming several in Delta, Luce, Schoolcraft and Marquette counties. It is said the timber but recently stolen would alone In this county amount to 700,000 feet. BRIEF MICHIGAN NEWS. Gov. Warner Home From Yucatan. Gov. Warner arrived at his home In Farmington after a six weeks' absence, mostly in the states of Old Mexico, including Yucatan. This is longer than he had been outside of the state altogether In the preceding ten years. The particular business feature of his trip was to see about getting a supply of sisal to keep the binder twine plant at Jackson-running, despite the knocks that prison contractors and the International Harvester is giving it. He was successful beyond his anticipations. MICHIGAN BREVITIES. Mrs. Harriet C. Mott, sister of the famous Bldwell brothers, whose forgeries swindled English banks out of $1,000,000 forty years ago, and who made desperate efforts to free her brothers from life sentences, died In Muikefon recently.

Making a dash to jjatch an M. C. train just &a It was pulling out of the depot, George Dodda, a traveling salesman, was dragged 6o feet, and aa a result la in a Lansing hospital with serious injuries. While attempting to ateal a ride from Toledo to Detroit, Harold Young, 16, a messenger boy, whose home la at Bradford, Pa., was inatantly killed by Lake Shore passenger train No. 324. Despite the fact that the Flint police received a message from a Detroit woman claiming to be his wife and asking him to return to her at once, J. C. Volmer denies that ha has or ever had a spouse. The funeral of Mrs. Hannah JBostwick, who for 72 years was a resident of Comstock township, was held Monday. Mrs. BoBtwlck, who was 96, died at the home of a daughter in GaleBburg.

The body was dragged along the track for half a mile, crushed and mangled beyond recognition. The university medical alumni of Ann Arbor have risen en masse to protest against the destruction of the old medical building, asking that it be converted into a medical museum, a library and a reading room. William Wright, a Traverse City laundryman, fell or was pushed from a dock into the cold waters of Grand Traverse bay, and yelled so lustily for help that 500 paople were attracted to the scene. He was rescued. Part of an eld gypsum mine on the Butterworth road, Grand Rapids, caved in under, half a dozen houses and the frightened "Polish residents scurried to shelter, leaving their belongings behind. No one was .injured. Leslie Holoomb, a Benton Harbor liquor dealer, entered a, Turkish bath and was forgotten by hia attendants until he became un&mscious. His flesh was literally cooked by1 the heat and fears are entertained fer his recovery. Taken from a train on which be had become suddenly ill, Orin Colberg, a well known > resident, of Escanaba, died just as he reached a Menominee hospital. Colberg was on his way to Grean Bay to receive treatment for stomach trouble.

But the girl was shivering with joy. Shep*nsvere<d the unearthly tone with sweet, excited eagerness. ''Merry Christmas, Nigger," she saldj and' added tremulously; "I'm so glad; you really can talk—it' must seehi nice after 'beitlg dumb." "Yes, it's nice," plgger responded civilly, but he seemed preoccupied. He went on with promptness. "You must go back to the house, children, at once. You'll catch cold." JX, waaquqer to nave th,elr own horjje giving them orders, yet the tone wae of authority. •'But, Nigger," AUce pleaded, "we want to talk to yoaw-we want to ask you some questions." It seemed almost as If Nigger had stopped to listen to something. They did' not notice the pad-pad of hoofs still a long way off. "What questions?" the hoarse voice demanded. "Be quick." Alice began, but choked with excitement, and Benny plunged to her relief, collected and deliberate. "We'd like some hidden treasure," he explained. "Treasure is money. To send father south where it's warm, 'cause he's sick. We want you to tell us where to get some treasure for father." Nigger appeared to be struck back to dumbness by this simple request, for no word came from the stall, only another of the soft, deep Inhalations —he had relapsed Into beasthood. Yet once more the weird tones Bpoke. "I can't tell you where to find any treasure," they said, "because there isn't any burled around here. But If you're good children and go straight into the house, then your -father is going to have enough money to go south—this winter or next. Now run quickly." G>^x!>x>y&:&<x&>&<»t^*>&ii&i<sxfK<x<tt waiting in the stable at 1 a. m., Dr. Harding talked of the horse and the harness and the roads as they un* -buckled the frozen leather, and the man's fingers slipped intp the once familiar business, and hlB ears listened to the once familiar voice. Ten minutes of swift work and the harness bung on its hooks, and the horse stood cared for and blanketed, in its stall. Maxwell swung across the stable and lifted., the small black bag. "I'll take that. Carl," the clergyman spoke quietly. "No—let me carry It for you," the younger man threw back, holding to It firmly. There was a second's hesitation; Harding's fingers loosened; he turned to the door; Carl Maxwell held the bag in his hands. Down the slope Harding led the way, and through the orchard vividly black and white with moonlight and shadow. Suddenly he faced about— the footsteps behind him had stopped —he stared through the zigzag of bare branches and deep shadows—where was the man? "Carl!" he called, and out of a splash of blackness ten feet back 3tirred the figure. "All right, doctor," Maxwell's voice answered. "I stopped to see If the seat I built in the Queen apple-tree was still there." A low light shone in the study as the two mounted the steps of the side piazza, and the clergyman slipped his key into the lock. He threw eopen the door and stood aside to let his guest enter. The man halted, and made an uncertain movement backward. Then he stepped Inflnished the recital wit* a look of bitterness in his eyes. "I believe I'm, * tool," he said. "The money mean* t&e chance of my life for a start—and I've no other chance. I meant to take it, till the children came, and then I lost my nerve. Alice has grown a lot I taught her her fljrs* wert-ndo yon. ?emem** 'ber? I didn't do the beast act entirely to get rid of them. I did it so they wouldn't be disappointed. I'm a fool. I'd planned the thing and I ought to have put it through. I could have gone to China, and in a year I'd have sent back the money—I'd have had a clear conscience and a grip on life such as I've never had before. But . it's beyond me now." The man looked down suddenly at his dingy overcoat. He smiled a queer smile at the clergyman. "I happened to think of how they used to have us sing 'Silent Night' before we had our Christmas tree, and of the velvet clothes I wore one year," he explained. "And now," he lifted the skirt of bis coat, "to be talking about Christmas trees—and carols. I'm Just one of the submerged. I'll go now, doctor. I might as well go. I had my chance and threw it away for sentiment I'll go now." He held out his hand. "It won't hurt you to shake bands." The clergyman did not stir. "Carl, I've got something to tell you about your cousin Sidney," he said. The man scowled. "I don't want to hear it," be shot through his teeth. "When I saw him walking with you to-day in his furred overcoat and his prosperity I wanted to kill him. He's forgotten I'm alive. It's nothing to him that I'm strangling—in the depths." "That's where you're mistaken," replied Dr. Harding in a quiet but positive tone. Maxwell lifted his chin and threw at the clergyman a glance like a blow. Harding went on at ease. "It's very much to him. When you saw him talking to me to-day, what The stable was quiet; small feet scurried over the snow toward the house; the door was left standing open, and strong moonlight poured through it and Illumined the place. When Dr. Harding drove in, the figure of a man stood black In the patch of brightness. "Whb is that?" he asked cheerily. The man answered: "It's a friend- Carl Maxwell." "Carl Maxwell!" the clergyman's vqice had a tone of unbelief. "What "I Came Here to Rob You," He Said. dji^you 'ni&atf—how can Vt be.^'darl Maxwell f* seTn* maa^jaaafflfr,forward.

Aa If it wtie a custom to find men side. In a moment the light was turned up, the fire was blazing, the room hung with cheerfulness. Maxwell stared about it, at the books, at the papers, at the worn furniture. The clergyman watched him a moment and then turned to a tray. "I don't know about you, Carl, but I'm hungry." He held out a plate of sandwiches. The young fellow set the bag down hurriedly and stretched out his hand. He was shivering, and he looked starved. Then the hand dropped. His teeth chattered, and he stared blankly into the clergyman's face. "I came here to rob you," he Bald. Harding gazed at him; his glance wandered to the black bag; he turned his back and bent over the coffee, bubbling above an alcohol lamp. Max^ well regarded hira miserably. Harding lifted his head with a smile. "We'll talk that over later, Cart," he said. "Sit by the fire—you're cold. And drink thla coffee." The man sat down. The hot coffee was almost at his mouth, when he looked up into the other's face. "How do you know I won't take the money?" he asked. "I could." The parson laughed. He put a friendly hand on the deep shoulder and patted it, as If the man were a child. "Well, yes, you could," he said. "Drink your coffee, Carl." Ten minutes later the man stood bedo you suppose he was talking about? You. When the man In the stable just now answered in your name. I felt as if Heaven had reached down and picked you up from somewhere and put you in my hands as an answer to what Sidney Maxwell said. He told me that Christmas never came but the thought of you "was with him; that when his own boys played with their toys around their tree he remembered always how you and he had played tc gether; that he had tried in vain to find you; that it was a constant grief that he and his father had Judged you harshly; that he would give his fortune to know where you are and make things right." As the man listened, defiance melted out of him; he did not answer or look up. The clergyman went on. "You see what child's play it seemed to me when you spoke of stealing three thousand dollars, with the Maxwell millions waiting. Not that it would have been possible in any case," he added quickly. "You thought you could do i t but you never could —never." "Perhaps I couldn't," the man said brokenly. "I,meant to—I don't know what stopped me." "The Lord," Harding answered tersely. "It Isn't the first time he has made children his messengers." Mrxwell lifted his eyes dreamily, like a man who had been unconscious VQCld loo good to be true. "I—I need to beUcje thoi#tthJag4»> me said. "I'd like to sow. I've «pe*n a long way down. "But I*re never < liked i t I've —been unhappy. It doesn't seem possible that I'm to have a chance.

And then I heard yon and Sidney—and I waa glad to get a chance to live—I think it's in me yet to work hard and make a place for myself. I think so. I never enjoyed being scum—only you know I always went headlong whichever way I started, and it waa the same with the bad life I've been living. I can't believe I've been faced about—in a minute." The clergyman had pushed the man into a deep chair; tnt> firelight washed a friendly vagueness over the shabby clothes and over hia face, molding now into new lines under a crisis. His eyes lifted to hia friend's with a dazed gaae which had lost bitterness. Dr. Harding, standing over him, laid a calm hand on his shoulder. "My lad," he spoke gently, "it appears to me that going into wrong-doing is like going into a tunnel that leads downhill to darkness. At every step the walking gets harder, and the air gets worse, and it's dirtier and more uninteresting. And all the time all you have to do is to face about, and you see the sunlight "Of course it'a not simple getting back—I know that Sure as fate you will bark your shins, and stagger into holes, and fall down, and maybe get discouraged. But Heavens, man! What's that, when you see daylight and see you're getting to it! What's more, you'll see the faces of friends you didn't know you had, waiting ftft you—they were there all the time and you wouldn't look at them—you were facing the wrong way. "Of course a poor soul may wan der so far into the depths that he's beyond seeing the light—that's the awful danger." The' clergyman sighed. "But even then a hand stronger than your own wyi pull you out, if you'll trust to it. However"—his tired face brightened—"however, you're not Ir that case, Carl. You've swung about and sunshine and friends are waiting for yqu—a clean life—a man's work —a place in the world. It's wonder ful bow much less bad a bad situa tion usually is than we think. Thii afternoon you were going to kill your self; you were saved from that by the hope of a crime; then two babiee spoke a message and you listened tc it and faced about. That's the secret, to face about, to face right." Like drops of a strong cordial the words struck hot shafts into Maxwell. "A clean life—a man's work— a place in the world." He felt with a shock the strength and the will to get these things. The worn man whose Inspired eyes burned him, who stood for a force beyond either of them, had poured strength and will Into him. He threw out hie arms, drew a quick breath, and rose to his feet resolutely. "Lord helping me, I'll do it," he Bald. "That's the way to go at the business," Harding said, his face glowing with enthusiasm. "You'll do it, that way." And with that the clock in the hall struck four, and from upstairs there was suddenly an eruption and a descent of barbarians. Alice and Benny, mysteriously warned In a. dream of their father's arrival, came down upon him, like a wolf on the fold, and all but tore him limb from limb with stress of affection, and then, all at once, aware of the stranger, they were shy and lapsed info silence. But Dr. Harding took his girl's hand and put it into Carl Maxwell's. "I've brought home an old friend, Alice," he said. "Wish him a merry Christmas, my dear." And Alice smiled and said the words, while Benny, strangling his father, re-enforced the greeting with full, slow tones. "Merry Christmas, old frlen'—an* a happy New Year," said the deliberate Benny. Harding, hung with children, loosened a hand to pat the man's shoulder. His eyes were bright with the vision of the pure in heart, who see "Benny's hit it," he said. "That's what we all wish you, and what's coming, Carl—a happy New Year!" \ . r fore the fire and told his story. He I and * ho was coming alowly back to a Christmas Eve.

The Red Cross Christmas stamp crusade against tuberculosis promises this year to be broader in extent than ever before. While last year less than 20,000,000 stamps were sold, the present indications point to a sale of nearly 50,000,000 for this year. The Red Cross stamps are issued by the American National Red Cross, and are sold for one cent each. They are designed to be placed upon letters and mail matter during the holiday season. The money derived from the sale of these stamps will be devoted to tuberculosis work in the localities in which the stamps are sold. In this manner it is expected that about $400,- 000 will be realized for the campaign against tuberculosis in ail parts of the United States.

I like it extremely, my food assimilates, and my bowels take care of themselves. I find my brain power and physical condition much greater and I know that the use of the Grape-Nuts has contributed largely to this result.

Dear Brother Andrews, My good old 'pal' George Sykes, sends me for Thanksgiving* a picture of the Old Red School House, inscribed "Not for its artistic beauty, nor its intrinsic value, but just to remind you of old days," and aay— what a flood of golden memories it opened up, releasing the flood gates that had at least been penned since our last reunion. The Old Red School House:— it was my University; my all. Almost like yesterday was the memorable day, when MiBs Sprout, with the best of intentions, tried to get tbe little tongue tied laddie to say "Siug-Siug-Sing" iustead of the "Liug-Ling-Liug" that could only come forth. And finally, a flood of tears, rather than success, crowned both our strenuous efforts. And "Ling" and "Lam Lykes" and "George Lykes" it was for mauy years. Such is heredity that my daughter Helen tangled up her B'S and Ts during her first years. Then the going out to study ( I wonder if modern •kids* do that yet?)

By F. A. MITCH EL. [Copyright. 1W8, by American Pr«M cla,tloa.J Etnm Blackburn whea be went to Paria was recoifuiaea by every oue a s a typical Americun ol that claaa WbutM motto is, "Every tub on lta own bottom." He not only considered every uue beaeath him, but every one above Mm, bis eyuul. No upirit of air romance prompted him to set biuaelf up above toe former, uor did uny fahsu modesty leud him to shun the latter. H e was as free with the one aa with tbe other. T h e result was that he was popular with all. Blackburn had risen iu bis own country from peddling farmers' hoUaebold uecetJ&ittes in a big red wagon to managing director lu a large manufacturing company. At tblrty-five he had made money enough to enable him to uee the world, and he s a w I t He liked Paris and stayed there loug enough to learn to converse, after a fashion, in the French language, and became interested iu French society. Not being afraid of appearing at a disadvantage among the better classes, he walked in uinoug them as if no one had a better right and remaiued there because" they rather liked him. "Whut charming effrontery!" they exclaimed. "What droll humor! No one but an American could thus disregard our conventionalities and be tolerated among us." But one morning Blackburn left Paris, followed by the maledictions of a select circle of French men and women who had taken- him up—thi\t is, he Would have been thus followed had they known where he had gone. There were others, w,ho knew the cause of the reversal of feeling toward him, the corners of whose lips curved in a polite satirical French smile. This is the wa^- it c^me $bput: . v Blackburn gave a dinner to the &et who had discovered in him such piquant American traits. Some evil minded persons hinted that the reason they fancied him w a s his pinners and his theater parties, but this never came to the ears of any of' the circle. The French are too polite to Impugn any one's motivea to one's face. Blackburn had discovered In Paris an American scientist whom he had long before hired to mnke some investigations for him fn a process of manufitcture and Invited biiu to the dinner. The scion tlst t}ied to beg off on the p\ea Hint he had, no ^ evening dress. Blackburn Insisted, and the .guest appeared in a pepper and salt suit. Not even French politeness could keep the company from turnlmr.a cold ahoulder to the scientist. The jit>or man endured the treatment,Mil If became unbearable, then excused himself. For n few minutes after his departure ' there wnvS nn embarrassing silence, when Blackburn snid: "In passing your Hotel de Vlllo today I noticed the Inscription. 'Llborly. Equality and Fraternity.' You talk of equality in France, but you don't know the word's meaning. Tp America 'wo don't try to tackle any one- of these words except liberty. We never prate about equality, but we don't Judge n man by his clothes." Hnvlnp thus expressed himself, the host turned the topic of conversation and, instead of permitting them to fall Into a bad humor with him. kept them well entertained and invited- ihem to another dinner to be irlvon two weeks hence, when he promised to present a friend whom ho was sure they would like. All accepted, and the party broke up with much gayety. When a fortnight had passed they reassembled to admire the American's originality, eat his viands and drink his wines. Tie presented to them M. de Plcrros, a Frenchman like themselves, who was faultlessly dressed, whose hair had been treated with curling tongs and whose mustache was carefully waxed. M. de Pierros was not a communicative man—Indeed, his conversation was confined to ''yes" nnd "no:" But since his dress Indicated that he was a gentleman he was treated by the other guoatAfaith scrupulous politeness. The only., time during the dinner that M. de Pierros used any words. excepting such as were monosyllables, was when the conversation turned upon soldiers meeting death on the flefd of battle. "That is nor meeting death at nil," said he. "It is being overtaken by death and cut down wlrhntit realizing its presence. It is another matter when one's ending has been appointed to t a ^ e 'rrfn're at a certain hour, of which be Is cognizant, or'when he is nwaKened nt midnight- from sleep 877¾^1^ to meet the antagonist. whom he knows shall vanquish him." There was something In the appearance of the speaker—no one could explain what It was—ns he said this to send cold chills down th£ back of every one present., M, de Pierres did hot pursue the subject. Jfe took up hip glass, touched it to his lips nnd set ft down again. "Wine, wine!" railed the host, "Confound that waiter! I sen^hlm ten minutes ago to bring it. I thlrfk lietnusthove ffoue to sleep. I'll go rnjsejf. m a t ' s rrjf way ive<*Irt tnmK» m Aim>r> Ica—we, do them ourselxea." * Btolnjr, he left tl»e room, "Monsieur," said one of the guests \:» M. de Pierres.

This is by no means a negligible sum. and makes a •ery appreciable drain on our resources. But, of course, the moat serious loss Is the men themselves and their families, who have forsaken the laid of the free and the home of the brave to dwell under the rule of a monarch. ' Why do they go? Naturally the cheap and fertile land of Western Canada attracts them. Each emigrant goes with a reasonable expectation of betterinsr^his^fsMudW 'Indeed, in a few years he may grow rich through the abandant crops he can*ralse" and the increase of land values! BrA perhaps the* i s not the -sole- readtftt for the astonishing migration. There is a common notion abroad that in Canada life'and property are appreciably safer than they are here. Murders are not BO frequent, and are more spitfediiy and surely punished. - Mobs ana the so-called 'unwritten law' are virtually unknown in Canada. Again the law is a vastly more ascertainable entity there. Canada does not permit Its jndgea toveto acts of, the legislative body. When a statute has been enacted it is known to be the laW of the land until it is repealed, this naturally imparts' to" Canadian cmlisatloB: • security -. and* stability waiich we have not yet attained. *We must remember, in the same connection, that the Canadian proteotipe tariff is far less exorbitant than ours, and much less boldly arranged for the benefit of special favorites. Hence there is an Impression, very widely diffused, that the Canadians are not so wickedly robbed by the trusts as we are in this country. Reasons like these sufficiently account for the exodus of a body of citizens, whom we can ill afford to lose, but they do not much assuage our regret that they cannot be retained in the United States." Speaking of this, a Canadian Government representative says that the Americans who cross the border are most welcome. The splendid areas of virgin soil, a large quantity of which Is given away as free homesteads, lie close to existing railways and to those utder construction. The railway lines that are assisting in this development are the Canadian Pacific, the Canadjtan Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific. The latter is built entirely on X" adlan BOII, and has opened up a derful stretch of land. Along this line during the year about closed thousands of American settlers have made their homes. T h e / have built the towns, and immediately began as factors in the building up of the great Canadian West. .Agents of, the Government are located in various cities throughout the United States who will be pleased to give any information that may be desired to further the interest of the sutler. . * * JKWARD * CLARK *<irmai»»t*o!i,' r^ri^tfr^ ^ iU?22rtoKiaf for i *l-m< n*s| fffWlf rfriessfi SIXTY-FIRST CONGRESS MEETS • m m . i i Speaker Calk ¢15 jlojise to plauded byfrniids aiid Iaemiei> ,1 ' ^ r * - rr-rrr TPT . * -»> *™ +. 1 * • . •< Vice-Precident S l i ^ m i ^ Areaidet.

In the Senate* the rdH was called and It was found that nearly all the senators were in their seats. The resolutions were adopted to the effect that committees be appointed to inform the House and the president that the Senate had assembled and was ready to begin the business of the session. As was the case In the House many bills were introduced for consideration during the winter by senators who, like the representatives, desire to have a hand In forwarding administration policies. After a comparatively short session "in the open," the galleries were cleared and the Senate went into executive session behind closed doors for the purpose of considering nominations for office sent to the Upper House by President Taft.

The message makes mesttan that crjaalaia> igrolecutiotta > jagaiiiBt unv y t l j y 4%0Temmeflt ofilcqrs in con-* nectlon with sugar trust custom house frauds are ^ o i ^ forward. . The message says: I regret ta refer \o the fact of the discovery of extensive fraud* In the collection of the custom* revenue at New York ci|ar, to which a, number of *he.»sis>ordlnate employes, la, the weighing and other departments were directly concerned, and**V-'wMcn <*h« *ea*flci«+ias were the American Sugar Refining Company and others. The frauds consisted In the payment of duty on underweights of sugar. The government has'recovered from the American Sogrfr R e t a i n s flforapany all that it Is shown ,to have been defrauded of. The silm was received fn full of the amount due, which might have been recovered by civil suit against the beneficiary of the fraud, but there was an express reservation In the contract of settlement by which the settlement should not Interfere with, or-prevent the criminal prosecution of everyone who was found to be subject te the same. On the question of the tariff the president reassures the country as to possibility of tariff war over the)- maximum and minimum clause In the bill. He asks the people to have confidence that the chief executive will tactfully carry out the provisions of the measure. . , _ . . , ,. ^ Quoting the plank of the Mtkform on which the Republican candidate was elected, the message declaqss the intention of the administration to uphold every principle of law. but condemns the issuance of hasty injunctions. Deficit In the poetofflcs department^ the president declares, is due to the undercharging of second-class mail matter, he being of the opinion that such matter does not pay its due share toward expenses. The president continues: The deficit every year in the postoffice department Is largely caused by the low rate of postage of 1 cent a , pound charged on second-class matt ' matter, which includes not only newspapers but magazines and miscellaneous periodical* She*1 actual /Joss1 growlng out o f c t h e transmtssldn of this seeond-dasa^mall matter at 1 c e n t a pound amounts to about $«3,000,00* a yifaT.' The average cost o'f the t r a n s ~ portation of this matter Is more than 9 qertta a ppund. .t?r.% ' ,.»"'11, ;;' It appears that the average distance over which newspapers ""are delivered to their customers is 291 mile*, while the a ^ r a g * haul of magazines Is 1,K>«*. and of miscellaneous periodicals 1,128 mtleifc- Thus, the average haul of the magazine is three and one-half times and that of the miscellaneous periodleal nearly four times the haul of the daily newspaper, yet all of thero pay the same postage rate of 1 cent a pound. The statistics of 1907 show that second-class mall matter constituted 63,91 per cent of the weight of allfthe mall, and yielded only 5.19 per cent of the revenue. The figures g i v e s are Startling, and show the payment by^th* government of a n enorssous: subsidy to the news* papers, magazines and pertddlcals, and congress m a y well consider whether radioed steps should not be taken to reduce the deficit in the post-office department caused by this discrepancy between the actual cost of transportation and the compensation exacteif therefor. r ••*•+•*<•'• might -a* mere thaav hall loss, by imposing upon magazines periodicals a higher, rs,$e of post- »*"• ', "-., •, • l o " .

Ja F. Ge Jackson There is a growing demand in the Lyceum tor the Cartoonist. The old time chalk talker has given place to the man of versatile attainment who can "keep the ball rolling'1 with ready wit and wholesome humor, while sketching in rapid succession pictures which rivet the attention, please the eye, and point a moral. L. W. Foad was for many years cartoonist, for the Syracuse Herald and other New York newspapers and built up a wide reputation by his skill in producing likenesses, by the originali ty and strength of his ideas and the generalty of his humor. As an entertainer he makes use of these traits very successfully, and presents an evening of rare enjoyment. His program consists of humorous conceptions, caricatures, moral and political cartoons, scenery and story illustration. The cartoons are not mere sketches, but w*H drawn, elaborate pictures in toll co'or. As a story teller and impersonator Mr. Ford is particularly strong, and he poseaaes a voice of rare carrying power, so necessary in a cartoonist, while lie >peaks with great forcefnlness and magnatism. Altogether, it is an evening full of bright ness and fun, yet through it all runs a 'back-bone" of thought and helpfulness. Snfficiently oatchy to be popular; sufficiently brainy to be uplifting.

Those who believe that nature give* various-warnings "In th« tall true* th« winter ^B going to be severe, are predltitlng a strenuous feeaaon tor snow and fee and low temperature. The; say that the wild birds which stay In the nor^a during the winter have unusually thick plumage. The shells oi outs are. reported to be heavier than they are when a mild winter is coming, %nd chestnut burrs are also of tn« "old-fashioned winter" hind, If the** weather prophets >«re correct Furbearing animals are more warmly clad, according to. the. juune .wiseacres, „than they are before "open" winters, fijud the bones of .geese make the same prophecy. It Is all very interesting, but men who make the study of the weather their life work and bring to bear upon it all of the learning and scientific resource* of the age, utterly reject th^se much trusted warnings. They are certain that there is nothing in pie whole theory of animal preparations, conscious or unconscious, for differences in winters. They do not believe that the trees grow more bark or put thicker burrs on nuts because the winter fa going to be severe. In fact, the scientific experts who deal with the climate seriously and with Infinite pains. In all civilized countries, year after year, are sure that there is .no nature sign language which tells the character of the weather months in advance. According to ' revised' estimates"1 by the geological survey, the coal remaining in the United States amounts to some three thousand billion short tons. The figures are Inconceivable, but what they signify can be readily understood. In a word, the supply la sufficient to last for more than 7;000 years; presumably, at that, allowing something for present wasteful methods of production. To be sure, something less than one-half of the supply 1B accessible only, with difficulty, according to known methods of extraction. Still, with whatever exceptions, the revised estimates give a more hopeful outlook than the public had been led to believe were" possible from figures heretofore submitted. The remarks of President Swain to the students at the opening of Swarthmore college the other day contain much of sound sense. "Do not form the habit in college of spending large sums of money," said Dr. Swain to the freshmen. "When one has learned the value of money and has a' large degree of earning power, this matter will usually take care of itself. College students are not, as a rule, large money earners, and are usually spending money earned by others. It Is usually a safe rule not to spend much money until ^ou have learned how to earn it." It will astonish many to learn from government reports that the Indians are Increasing in number instead of decreasing, and that they are becoming more-^elf-supportlng. This gratifying improvement is laid U> - the greater facilities afforded for the education of boys and girls In the government Bchols and in the system-^ apportioning lands, says the Baltimore American. It is time that some measure of justice were being meted out to the original possessors of the land and efforts made to turn them from roving savages into useful and self-respecting citizens.

Speaking of the operation of the law Commissioner Zimmermann says the banks have in nearly every instance met the requirements of the amendments. BIQ Fire at Kalamazoo. A million-dollar fire, the worst In the history of Kalamazoo, was brought under control at 6 o'elock Thursday, after banning for over sit hours through a square in the heart of the city's business district. One hundred and sixty guests of the Burdlck hotel In the city were driven, scantily clad, into the streets, and as other hotels were crowded, many of them were obliged to remain in the icy streets. The hotel, with nearly a dozen other business establishments, was destroyed. Miss Nina Harrigan, night telephone operator at the' Burdlck, was the heroine of the fire. When the flames broke through the arcade adjoining the hotel and the building caught fire, she stuck pluoklly to her post and notified every,guest in the hotel by telephone of the danger. For nearly half an hour while the blase waa raging, with flremen rushing past her with lines of bote, engines puffing outside and a babel of contusion about her, the girl sat calmly at her exchange ringing one by one every room frl the building, and telling the guests to make their escape. She did not leave until firemen told her she would lose her life if she remained longer.

President to Htsr Them. Senator Smith, of Michigan, has arranged for President Taft to give a. hearing some time in the future to fishermen of Saginaw bay and a part of Lake Huron who object to the report of Dr. Davis Starr Jordan on international fisheries. The Michigan fishermen say that conditions in Saginaw bay and pari of Lake Huron are unusual and should be handled in a different way from other fishing grounds along the Canadian borders.

The Michigan Agricultural college has drawn $18,000 from the state treasury, and there Is joy at the in stitutlon.

Mrs. Charles Shookman, wife of r Kalamazoo teamster, was visltlnr friends In the country when she re celved the following telephone mes sage from her husband, who had re mained at home: "Come home; 1 am going to die."

Pleading guilty In the munlclpa' court at. Battle Creek, Myron Young a wealthy farmer, was fined $100 oi 9ft days In jail for having adulterated milk sold by him on a local mill route. This is Young's second arrest on the same charge In the past twe years, the first hsvlng resulted in hlr paying a fine of $25. The complain' was made by O. C. Howe, deput> state milk inspector. Owing to th* condition of other milk sold them re cently, wholesale arrests of local milk dealers are threatened. Tt has been learned that Samue' Frisbie. who was acquitted at For Huron of the charge of slaying Loul Rosenburg, at the Flats, had deter mined to end his>Ufe If the verdlr had been against him. After his n lease Frisbie showed Sheriff Wager sell 12 strychnine tablets which tv had concealed in his cell, and whic' he stated he would have swallowed I? case of a conviction. It is believer he secreted the tablets while he wa being treated for typhoid fever lath hospital several wteki ago. There has been a sudden and unpleasant realization at Bluenelds or government strength ' and Insurgent weakness. President Zelaya has outwitted Gen. Estrada, and the latter's chief hope is in American intervention. It turns out that the conference sought by Gen. Vasquez, of the government troops, near Rama and which the insurgents had interpreted as a sign of yielding on the part of Zelaya's troops, was a blind intended to secure a delay of the expected battle until the loyal army had Becured a decided advantage of position. It is also learned that while Zelaya had kept a scattered force before Rama, his real army of 3,000 men was hurrying by forced marches toward Bluefields. The report that a descent on this city from Rama was possible only by river Is now known to he untrue. Estrada endeavored to cover his alarm by Informing the correspondents at the front that all was tranquil with the prospect that Vasquez and MaJ. EVa would surrender.

Sitting in the middle of the floor, with a plaintive look about Its frayed ami seemingly weary buck, It bringB back a'tumultuous riot of sad recollections that time can never efface. Volumes of bitter anguish come to me when I arrive home in time to catch the milkman swiping the loose furniture around the place, and take off my shoes to avoid publicity, and strike my beBt toe against the rocker of the old vacant chair. Then, forgetting for the moment my unclad feet, I kick the chair on the other rocker.

"I was troubled with a severe Itching and dry, scrufy skin on my ankles., feet, arms and scalp. Scratching made it worse. Thousands of small red pimples formed and these caused Intense itching. I was advised to go to the hospital for diseases of the skin. I did so, the chief surgeon Baying: "I never saw such a bad case of eczema." But I got little or no relief. Then I tried many Bo-called remedies, but I became so bad that I almost gave up In despair.

VERA'S FIRST LOVE i i ' v • P > > - " ' By CARL, BARON TORRESANX UJupyrigtit, by Short tttorie* Co., Ltd.) Count Mishko—his family name does not matter as everybody called him Count Mishko, In true Vienna fashion—ought to have been the happiest main altve. Young and handsome, blessed with a beautiful and charming wife, whose moist extravagant whims, as well as his own, he was .amply able to gratify—nothing seemed lacking to complete his happiness. Nothing, Indeed, was lacking, but something was present which he might well have spared—suspicion! The first year of bis married life bad been one long dream of bliss. Two people were never more perfectly matched than he and Counters Vera. But suddenly there came a change. Without imaginable cause, Vera's merriment ceased abruptly. She became grave, pensive, almost morose, and a hard, cold expression replaced the sunny smile that had hitherto played about her beautiful lips. Mishko was in despair. "What is the matter, sweetheart?" he asked. "Have I offended you in any way?" "You? Oh, you men! In your vanity you Imagine yourselves the cause of everything." "But this sudden change—" "Mishko, I wish you wouldn't notice every little trifle. It grows tiresome In time." She turned away sullenly, but he caught her and drew her to his knee. Then ensued the first unpleasant scene of their love drama. It was ended by Vera rushing wildly to her bedroom and locking and barricading the door against the enemy. Mishko went to the Jockey club and sought consolation in the companionship of old friends and old Amontillado. At two o'clock in the morning, when he came home, whistling and thoroughly consoled, a servant handed him a note and said that the countess had gone away. 1)o not be alarmed," she had writtern "I am not running away, though you deserve it. But my nerves are worn out and I must find rest*—where, 1 da not yet know; some quiet place In the mountains, probably. I shall be all right In a week. Please do not try to And me. You will not succeed and will only make me angry. Possess your soul In patience, Mishko, dear. It had to be, for your sake'and mine. In a week, dearest wild man, I shall be in your arms again. Meanwhile I send you my forgiveness and a thousand kisses." This note instantly dispelled Mlshko's slight exhilaration. In the morning he telegraphed to every one whom Vera would be likely to visit and, receiving only negative replies, resigned himself to his punishment. On the third day he happened to meet that good-looking but vapid fellow, Sokoloff, of the Russian embassy, who asked: "Any news from St. Petersburg?" "Eh?" said Mishko. "I]rom the most charming of countesses, I mean. She should be there by this time." "My wife! She is no more in St. Petersburg than we are." "Strange! She was in such haste." "When? Where? About v/hat?" "About her passport." "She applied for a passport? When?" "Friday morning." M^Bjjk^ wiped his brow. Though not exactly a sage, he was by no means a fool. He could put two and two together. Wfyen Vera had played her great Bcen«* she'had been in possession of her passport several hours. She had provoked the scene deliberately to afford a pretext for her sudden flight, He waited, but not patiently, and in tileepleas Rights he formulated a plan to pay her back in her own coin if ^ier explanation should be unsatisfactory or su^icioua. If she could act a part, so £>uld he. On the seventh day after her de- Vera returned, radiant as the lng even these, when one morning at breakfast, he-was, startled fey *e«lng in hib wife's face the same cold, hard, ominous expression that It had wont Just before the scene of 18 months before. He tried tP drive It away by Jests and affectionate words—both very artificial and equally fruitless. Vera's face seemed hardened to stone, and her heart also, for the few words which he wrung from her were uttetred in a tone that chilled him. He telephoned to the Russian embassy and received the answer he expected. Very well! He waa prepared. Now let the play begin! Of course it was not necessary for a lady of Vera's lively lmamingation to play the same comedy twice. This time the stage setting, dialogue and action were quite new, but the finale was the same—a nocturnal flight. In a sleeping car of the international express she slumbered without dreajning that her husband lay awake within a few yards of her, and on the following evening, when she peeped out of the troika which conveyed her from the station to a fashionable hotel on the Nevsky Prospect she failed to recognize her trim and elegant Mishko In the fur-wrapped occupant of a carriage close behind her. Mishko stopped at the same hotel and next morning stationed himself In a cab near the entrance. After waiting three hours he saw his wife come out and enter a troika. He followed her to a fine apartment house in Volshaya Btreet and to an apartment on the second floor, the door of which closed after her, almost in his face. In wild excitement he rang the bell and WBB admitted by a servant !n livery. As he entered he heard a scream and a sound of something falling to the floor, and through an inner doorway he saw Vera standing and at her feet —a broken-dental plate with two Incisors ! Man is a strange creature. Mishko, it might be supposed, would have shouted with Joy rit t tits' proof that his tormenting suspicions were groundless, but It was also a proof that Vera had decoived him In anotner way for years, and this new thought completely engrossed him. As they drove back to the hotel he listened with a very bad grace to her tearful explanation. It had happened when she was a schoolgirl in St. Petersburg—an accident in skating. Luckily no one had seen the damage except ber father, who had hurried her off to the best dentist in the city—the one she had Just visited—and nobody had ever guessed ber humiliating little secret. "Why need you go to St. Petersburg?" "Because there lived the one man who knew my secret, which I did not care to confide to another." Now or never was the time to learn the vhole truth. "How about that fellow?" he asked. "Who?" "That fellow. You know well enough. To speak frankly, I would have sworn that you came—" "To meet him? Here, In St. Petersburg? So that is why you followed me! O, my poor, dear boy, that was a master stroke of diplomacy! Do you know where he is? In Vienna! You see him and shake hands with him every day and have never had the BlighteBt suspicion. How could you? A respectable father of a family, a stiff, formal diplomatist, and quite uninteresting. I can't imagine what I ever saw in him to admire." "Who is he?" "Your friend Sokoloff of the Russian embassy." ^ "TW* * * m . Mishko!" she cried, ex- IfMfat ber arms. "*lt was less an embrace than a wrestling match. All he said was: "Where have you been?" "Do not ask, Mishko! If you love me.'dear boy. do not. remind me of that which I wish to forget. It is past and, gone and this moment is the commencement of a new life for us." "Serpent!" he muttered undor his breath, but ne made no audible reply and never again referred to his wife's eccentric flight. It did seem like a new life, for Vera apparently sought to atone for her action by redoubled effusiveness and docility. Vera's deceitfulner*, her well-acted comedy, still rankled, but he had nearly arrived at the point of forgiv- Extlnctlon of Chinaberry Tree. The Atlantic Coast line has taken steps looking to the extermination of the chinaberry tree. It has long been claimed that the tree is a breeder of the white fly, and as the government has taken a hand and the experts have declared that the pest is bred to an alarming extent in the chinaberry tree, we can but commend the action of the Coast line in the matter, and we hope the step they have taken will encourage others in this country to follow suit. The Coast line has given orders that every china tree along its right of way in Florida be cut down. Name Towers for King and Queen. The news that the king and queen have consented to allow their names to be assigned to the western towers of Truro cathedral is extremely welcome.

Three Excellent Examples of the Pre vailing Modes Are Here Shown— Gowns That Are Adapted to All Figures. A glance at the pictures of three French gowns, given here, reveals the consummate art of their designers in the management of draperies. The season has demanded hints of the pannier and o r e r i k i r t ami drapery of some sort on almost every gown, but t h e s e draping* must be arranged to follow the lines of the figure and the gown must be graceful, else milady will h a v e none of it In Pig. 1 a gown is shown In which the pannier idea does service that is excellent for the woman of slender figure. No other should attempt to wear 1L The p a n n 1 e r "drapery is fullest about the hips and extends to the bot- . , torn of the skirt, the beautiful lines of the high baca are preserved by a panel applied over the skirt, apparently with the lower end hanging free. Here the opportunity for decoration Is taken advantage of, by a scroll pattern ot soutache braid matching the gov" colon A sleeve, entirely cos with the braid, and the introduction of braid on the bodice makes a rldh and quiet effect whtcn is very elegant For those of plump figure the model In Fig. 3 is a happy choice. This is the popuw a s h e r w om an style and the gown sets to the figure in long, almost unbroken l i n e s . The drapery, however, is brought below the knees in front, and really falls halfway to the ground at the back — a device which lengthens the figure most effectually. An added advantage lathe lack of tullness at the waist line. There is not so m u c h as a wrinkle anywhere. This requires proper cutting, and it will be noticed that a girdle joins the bodice and skirt, to provide tor the adjustment of the drapery without a plait or gather. No decoration appears on this gown except "" For Greater Warmth. Capes are cold things when worn in winter, but being fashionable, they are popular in spite ot colds and coughs. Here is a hint for making them more comfortable: Make a pair of loose sleeves of silk the color ot lining or outside of cape, as preferred. The latter is more serviceable. Wad them, finish on top and bottom and attach to the cape with a ribbon or elastic To adjust sleeves put them on, throw cape over them and tack near shoulder line. Take care that they do not pull *he cape out of shape. at the yoke, and everything afeofet R proclaims Its adaptation to the worn* on who w lanes to loojfc. taller or mors slender than she is. " Fig *., was not designed tor a, special kind or figure, but to show the introduction ot the overskirt idem at Its best A drapery which simulates a drop skirt and overskirt so cleverly. , in a g o w n all-in-one, proclaims the artist. This model is suited to any of the light weight fabrics in silk or wool and for a demi-dress c o s - tume cannot be excelled tor general excellence of design. The yoke Is in heavy lace. A model in black foulard having a tiny scattered dot in gray was made up this way. Toe yoke in this case waa of black braided net over a deep crimson satin lining. Bands of black volvet ribbon were set across the back, over the shoulders and across the bust Jet ornaments were applied to them. This was a really brllliapt and unforgettable gown, although made of so simple and In ex penal VJ a fabric. JULIA BOTTOM LET. SUBSTITUTES GOOD AND BAD Those That Are Allowable and Others That Should Be Distinctly Frowned Upon. It Is not snobbery, hut the last remnant of a Justifiable theory that objects to the substitution otf white hunnle for ermine and black kittens for fox and lynx. The full-grown black cat la not a matter for so great regret, and herein rests the foundation of the whole tale of the understudy. If the hardy black cat be called' Into requisition, and should its skin be of sufficient toughness to hold together for a season, the cat is, in itself, a no more despicable animal than the Tox, and, letting aside the question of the killing of said cat for his fur, he should, be fairly well received, if, however, he be but kitten and not able to render ap that cental* wear and tear for value received, he should indeed be shunned. Some women have t:.e courage of their convictions, and. when moneyless, are not averse to the warmth supplied by common, ordinary black cat, even although he be not absolutely lynxlike in appearance, and provided he will hold together for a season. Things that wear, in other words, are not miserable imitations, tut reputable understudies. PaBte Jewelry is rn every case the dubious substitute for unattainable elegance, whereas the semi-precious stone, with its wealth of color, set in simple metal, is the durable, the desirable understudy. —"»« soon)* mnmm THE FARMERCOF CENTRAt CANADA R«AP WHHAT AND <• RICHES.

Some years ago the members of a somewhat inferior set took to shaking hands on a level with their chins, a mode copied from royal parsonages who, suffering from an abscess under the arm, avoided the pain. fal friction entailed by shaking hands in the ordinary manner and resorted to a higher level. This was observed by some lesser lights, from whom the custom spread.—Home Notes. Corset Covers.

Mr. Bailey-bought the* 640 acres of land near Grand Coulee two years ago. He Immediately prepared the whole section for crop and this year has 600 acres of wheat and 40 acres of oats. The wheat yielded 19,875 bushels, and the oats yielded 4.750 busnels. The whole of the grain has been marketed and Mr. Bailey is now worth 117,550 from t h e grain alone; He bought the land at $18 an acre, and the other day refused an offer of $35 an acre, just a $17 adv»n«e-jr0r,the.itim.e of his purchase. The land cost $11,320 in the first instance. Here are the figures of the case.—Land cost, 640 acres, at $18, $11,320. Wheat yielded 19,875 busnels, at 84 cents a bushel, $16,695. Oats yielded 4,750 bushels at 28 cents a bushel, $855. Offered for land, 640 acres at $35 an acre, $22,400. Increase value of land, $10,880. Total earnings of crop. $17,550, together with increase in value of land a total of $28,540. It Is interesting to note the figures of tlie yield per acre. The wheat yielded 33½ bushels to the acre, and oats 118.7 bushels to the acre.

Prea. A. M. Davis, of tbe Livingston county pioneer association, is making an effort to arrange for an Old Home Coming in the county to be held at Howell in connection with tbe annual soldiers reunion and pioneer meeting. A good idea. An interesting meeting was held last evening at Howell to formulate plans. Lee Chamberlain of Howell is arranging to build another vegetable green house in the near future. He haa two large houses now. Lettnce is the principal winter crop, but he also raises cuenmbers and radishes. He get8 his heat from the waste steam from the electric light and water plant. Casper Culhane visited old friends in Howell last week and ran up against the same old thing. They were busy as usual in the Democrat office and he put in a few days at the case. Cass is a good typo even if he has been setting moat of his type on the machine for the past three years, he has not forgotten bis case of adeptness. We have often wondered in the past why so many offices and commissions tor different things were needed in the state. Every little while we see oi a new office being created and some one appointed to fill the place. When that is not enough to go around, some commission is established and another appointed. When we pay our taxes we find "there is a reason." Dr. H. F. Sigler and F. L.

QUAD. [Copy riant, l*», by American Frass aiattosuj For ten year* aunt Hannah D a j . widow and raaldant ot tbe villas* of Clyde, had bean % sort of terror to most of the residents. She lived alone and was well to do, and she Just doted on lawsuits. AT tbe end or ten years Elder Thomas waa about the only cltlsen of the town worth sulug who had not been sued. His time was close at hand, however. He had two hives of bees in his back yard, and they had •warmed earlier than was looked for. Not finding new hives ready, they had passed over into Aunt Hannah's orchard and stung her and her cow and pig before going farther. Bhe decided to start a suit for damages. Elder Thomas had never had a lawsuit nor been summoned as a juryman or witness. Be had a dread of the law, and the knowledge that be was going to be sued set him trembling. It was no use for him to go over and see • u n t Hannah. She never changed her mind nor settled a case. He heard of her decision one morning, and he spent the forenoon worrying over it. He was •till worrying after dinner when he •et out with hoe on his shoulder to work in a cornfield half a mile outside the village. On the edge of the. field was a creek, and on the banks of the creek was an old shed in a tumbledown condition. The elder had been hilling up' corn for about a quarter of an hour when a voice called to him from the shed. He raised his head and listened, and it called again. He dropped his hoe and took a few steps forward, and the voice cried out: "Stop, Elder Thomas! Stop right where you are!" "Who is It?" "It's me—Aunt Hannah/' "Are you in the shed?" "Tea." "For the land's sake, bnt what are ran doing way out here, and what's happened to your" "You keep your place right where you are, and I'll tell you. I came out to pick some blackberries, and after I got hare the fit took me to go in swimming in the creek. I undressed in the shad and paddled round for half an hour, and when I came out of the water I found that an Infernal hog had Stewed all my clothes to rags. There ain't a piece left aa big as my hand. FVe been waiting here a whole hour." "But what are yon going to do?" asked the elder as he scratched the back of his head. "Don't ask fool questions! I've got «o get home, haven't I? And I can't gat home without some clothes. I'd seed clothes even If I waited till midnight" "I guess you would; but, you see, 1 esa't Lend you any of mine. All I've got on Is shirt and trousers." "Who wants to borrow any of you? I don't, I'm sure. 1 want you to go home and tell your wife about it and bring me back a bundle of her clothes. You don't s'pose I'd go back to town tn trousers, do you? What you sueak Ing up Higher for?" "I want to sit down on that log and talk to you a mlnit. You sent me word this morning that you was going to sue me about the bees." "Yes, 1 did. It was all your fault, and you'll have to pay smart money for It." It struck the elder as he sat down on the log that the situation was in bis hands, so to say. The spot waa a quarter of a mile off the road and very retired. There was hardly a chance of the woman finding another messenger for two or three days. Accident might enable him to accomplish what delegations and committees had failed to. "Well, why don't you go?" asked Aunt Hannah after a long minute. "Do you think I want to stay here all the afternoon? There may be more n forty hogs in my garden by this time. There are tramps around, and tnebbe some of 'em are robbing tbe house." "Yes, jest as you say," replied the alder, "but I think we'd better have a talk before l go after any clothes. Why should 1 go after clothes for a woman who's going to make me trouble?" "You didn't take care of them bees." "And you didn't take care ot your clothes." "But I've never stopped a lawsuit and never will." "And I've uever lugged clothes for a woman fool enough to let a hog chaw up her duds I'll go back to work, and you can get some one else." Aunt Hannah was spunky, and she stood out for balf nu hour. Then she called the elder back to the log and agreed not to begin suit against him. "That ain't enough," he replied. "I've been thinking. You've made lots of folks lots of trouble, i f • time you stopped the lawsuit business. If you can't see it that way you'll have to get out of this trouble as best you can. I'm going to start for home soon, and Tl\ be neighborly enough In case 1 meet any tramps on the way to send 'em here. They may lend you some clothes." "Elder Thomas, you are a brats! 41'posing It was your wifer J31X wife doalt. sue folks." There were threuts uud argumei rs a*d entreaties, but the elder stood Or in. and the victory was bis. When AUPT Hannah bad given her wyeum word to give uu the law. be went alter tan clorhen He not only brought theiiM but he brought bis wife ulyng as well* and then rc/ilnnl ly;o.tpe jggrn and left] the twi» women togerlier. There were pledges* uud promises given. :n:il for roars it was a mystery to i!;i' relieved clthcenu of Clyde why Aunt Hannah so suddenly reformed.

Owing to tbe iutereat taken in the milk cases by the general public, 1 deem it my duty t o g i v e the reasons for dropping the nine remaining milk cases; also to explain the law and the course that will be followed by the Dairy a n d F o o d Department, s o that the milk producers may avoid further trouble. I held a consultation uu D e c . 7, with A . C. Bird of the dairy ami food department and lie e x p l a i n e d that it was not the policy I of the Btat* to drop cases after they were started but, as o n e case has been tried vigorourly in three trials, he was willing to have the remaining cases dropped if I d e e m e d best. T h e r e is nc revenge iu the law. There ought to be some g o o d acompliuhed when a prosecution is started and I am satisfied that so far a s the milk producers are c o u - cernee in this county, that tiiey wiLI be au careful in the h a n d l i n g of their milk uow aa they would be p r o v i d i n g we should try every suit to the tiuish . "No oue caren to be brought into the limelight. T h e purchasers of miljs. h a v e a right to protection under the l a w , but if ad possible good has beeu obtained from prosecuting the oue case it would be an unnecessary expense to push the matter further at this time. T h e Dairy a n d F o o d Department will \ without doubt take samples of milk in the j future, and as a large number of farmers h a v e asked men iu regard to the law, 1 ahull e x p l a i n it at this time, as I am sure no c u e wants to get into trouble. T h e law provides that if milk Hold or offered for sale at the factory, contains lean than 3 per cent of Butter fat or less than 1J p e r cent of milk solids or less than 1.029 of specific gravity it w i l l be deemed to be a violation of the l a w . H o w e v e r , the Dairy and F o o d department will start no prosecutions unless the analysis shows that water has been added or that the cream or part of it has been r e - m o v e d . I t is claimed by the State Chemist that h e c a n tell whether water has been put into the milk or whether cream has been taken off. T h e People have been in t h e milk business i n this County for a great many years and it has become a very important business, yet there has been some talk that in the summer time ice has been put in the milk by some to keep it c o o l ; that of course melts and produces water. On tha other hand some of t h e people have felt that it was no harm to take off cream for the coffee, etc. If cream is takan off the top of the can the test for butter fat will show a decrease and trouble might occur. W h e n the State makes a test aud as a result of the analysis it shows that either the cream has been t tken off and water added, I have no choice, it is my duty to prosecute; y e t I a m sure that if the p e o p l e of the county thought that there was any danger of trouble they would exercise great care, and caution the membert of the family a n d everyone who has a n y t h i n g U) d o in handling the milk so as to aroMf^ny trouble. If the analysis of the milk shows that it was in the same conditiou as when taken frgm the cow, the State department - i n - forms me that their policy is to notify t h e producer and n o prosecution will be started. T h e sample of milk is taken at the factory because that it is the place where the title of the milk is transfered, t h e milk is weighed, the farmer is given credit a n d that is the place where the factory exercises its right of acception or rejection in case the milk has soured. I write the above so that no farmer in the county need feel that h e is in danger unless water is a d d e d or cream taken off. I wish to say further that in case the State should take a s a m p l e of milk and the producers should find that some one else had tampered with the milk, drank o u t of the can or anything of that kind, if it was called to my attention aud proof furnished I am sure that s o far an the state or myself is concerned we would not care to do a n y o n e an injustice, but the matter could b e adjusted without the publicity or e x p e n s e s of a trial.

I ill your glass again, with a merry face and contented heart. Our life on it, but your Christmas shall be merry and your New Year a happy one.—Charles Dickens. T T T ^ E M E M B E R that as surely as in that T ^ baby life at Bethlehem there lay the <-*• *-^ power which has run through all the world; the power which makes Judea burn like a star forever; the power which has transfigured history; the power which has made millions of men its joyous servants; the power of the millenniums yet to be, JO surely in the humblest soul's humble certainty that it does love Christ, there lies enfolded all the possibility of the most perfect sainthood.—Phillips Brooks. TJ T IS a good thing t«"> observe Christmas Day. The mere marking of times and seasons, when men apce to stop work and make merry together, is a wise and wholesome custom. It helps one to feel the supremacy of the common life over the individual lite. It reminds a man to set his own little watch, now and then, by the peat clock of humanity, 'which runs on sun time.—Henry VarrDyke. At the Birthplace of Christ. At last f am come to the market, place, at one end of which stands the church of the Nativity, marking the holy, lowly birthplace. There Is only one entrance from the street, and it is so low that in entering one ia forced to bow the head, and assunio a posture of reverence. Down the dark and winding stairs, slippery with the drippings of countless candles, T make my way to that lowly place into which first came the Light of the World. The Grotto of the Nativity is a cavern beneath the church, long* narrow, an4--low-ceiled, with pendant lamps of precious metal and rare workmanship lighting the gloom. Tho floor is marble, and wonderful old tapestries, pictures artd silk hangings cover the walls. A marble cradle in one corner' commemorates the manger; and in a recess on one side a dozen or more hanging lamps Hshi herds abiding in the field, keeping wa over their flock U P P O S E a note came on Christmas Day saying not, "I tend my love and best wishes with this spool-box," but, "I want you to know that your patience, or courage, or tenderness, during this last year, will help me to liva more bVavely and courageously this year." What a Christmas present the receipt of such a letter would be to any one of us. What a gift for any one of us to send to the human heart that hat given us courage for the burden and heat of the day.—Margaret Deiaod. TH E season of regenerated feeling—the season of kindling, not merely the fire of hospitality in the hall, but the genial fiam« of'charity iavthe heart. . fcie who. can turn churlishly away from contemplating the felicity of his fellow beings, and can *t doWn darkling and repining in bjavfpsjalinese w h e s V ^ around is joyful, may have hit jnoroenU of fjlfah gratification, but he wants the genial and social sympathies which constitute the charm of a Merry Christmas,—Washington Irving*) • MY C H R I S T M A S wish ty .all is ihn they may^teste the sweetness of Itve, enter inter the joys of friendship, and know the divine beneficence of helping someone at present leu fortunate than themselves. In these words are we to find the living spirit of the human and eternal Christmas. The universal gladness of Christmas is proportioned to the extent of its unselishaess. People are happy, not in what they get so much as in what they give.—Minot J. Savage. * + * N D there were in the same country shep- _ watch by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around about them, and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them: "Fear not, for behold 1 bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord."—From the Gospel of St. Luke. * * * A N T A C L A U S remains, by virtue of a common understanding that childhood shall not be despoiled of one of its most cherished beliefs, either by the mythologist, with his sun myth theory, or the scientist, with his heartless diatribe against superstitions.

Creevy adyapced. guarding ,himself with a chair. As the brute sprang he was met by a bullet in the chest. Several shots were flred without effect and the dog landed on the chair held In CreeTy's hands splintering It. Finally the anitrial ran into a bed room and crawled under the bed. The men flred two more shots and he rolled over as though dead. Without warning the animfcl revived, grabbing Creevy In the right thigh, tearing a gash of several Inches and cutting the leg of his trousers entirely off. Then he sprang for the last time and his Jowls were within a foot of Wedder's throat when the last shot struck him squarely under the eye, killing him. The time of the fight was 2C minutes. Every one o\ the 12 bullets flred had passed through his body. The dog was a pure white English thoroughbred of the fighting stock and had been regarded as dangerous for some time.

"I was on my way home one night," said the retired baritone, according1 to Illustrated Bits, "and the hour was late. As 1 turned a corner at a lonely Bpot a wild-eyed man stepped out in front of me. In his right hand he carried a pistol and In his left* a gleaming knife. With a low, mocking laugh he thrust his burly form athwart my path, and said: " 'At last I have you in my power. I have sworn to kill the first man I met after 3 a. m. You are he—alBO it. Would you rather be shot or stabbed?' "Immediately I saw I had to do with a madman. Quick thought was necessary. Right there and then my long training stood me well In hand., Taking a pint bottle of carbolic" acid from my overcoat pocket, 1 remarked, jovially: " 'Old acout.J greet thee as a friend. Kill me if thou wilt, but first let us drink success to the crime.' "It made a hit with the bug. He grabbed the bottle and took a swallow like a stage hand. As he fell writhing on the sidewalk I stepped over his body and continued on my way." "How did you happen to have a bottle of carbolic acid with you?" asked the incredulous press agent. " I was taHing it home to put on ray hair," answered the retired baritone. Duty Society Owes to Unfortunates. Consumption is primarily a poor man's disease. Dr. Woods Hutchinson of New York city says: "Ilqughly speaking, the incipient tuberculosis patient can buy as many chances of Fresh air and cure as he has money." The percentage of deaths from consumption among the poor is 100 per cent, higher than among the well-to-do and the rich. Sixty-live per cent, of the consumptives in the United States are too poor to provide proper means for treatment. They must either bo placed in a sanitarium or a hospital where they can be cured of their disease and where they will be removed from the possibility of infecting other members of their families, or the loss resulting from neglect to care for these poor consumptives will be twice or tbr.ee times as great as w^uld bo the case if they arc properly housed In institutions."

HABIT'S CHAIN Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed and Hard to Break, i > An ingenious philosopher estimates that, the amount of will power necessary to break a life-long habit would. If it could be transformed, lift a weight Of many tons. It sometimes requires a higher degree of heroism to break the chains of a pernicious habit than to lead a forlorn hope In a bloody battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town: "From my earliest childhood I was a lover of coffee. Before I was out of my teens I was a miserable dyspeptic, suffering terribly at times with my stomach. "I was convinced that It was Oi$T^« that was causing the trouble a » l 3 d l I could not deny myself a enp- for breakfast. At the age of 36 I was in very poor health, indeed. My sister told me I was in danger of becoming a coffee drunkard. "But I never could give up drinking coffee for breakfast, although it kept me constantly 1U, until I tried Pastum. I learned to make It properly according to directions, and now we can hardly do without. Postum for breakfast, and care nothing for coffee.

STONES BALANCE RISING GATE Illustration Showing How One Is Braced Both Ways with First- Class Lumber. This gate Is braced both ways and Is composed of first-class lumber. The balance weight is wire hung. An iron Us Adoption Recommended, as 1ta~Uf» Insures Abundaqpo of A i r at All Times. (9T C. A. OCOCK. AORlCTTtTUfcAX, ENGINEER WIBCON1I11) Tbe Klhg system of ventilation consists of two sets of floes, one s e t provides fresh air, while the other furnishes an escape for the vitiated air. The (reth air flues should be placed not mdre than ten feet apart and located in the exterior wall of the barn. No fear of putting in too many inlets, since (fee greater the ( number tbe more effect!^ the,yentMaJtlon.,Tne outlet may Include one or more dues, but should be so located as to provide the quickest means for removing the foul air. All stable walls and ceilings should be nonconductors of heat and cold, otherwise moisture will collect as frost In Cold weather and drop as water In moderate- weather. In a station barn the flues for taking out the foul air are two in number, one midway In each side wall. These flues pass upward to the left, where they meet a central chimney. There is also a ventilator flue opening from the ceiling into the bottom of the chimney for more rapid.movement of air In hot weather to keep the stable cooler. In winter this ventilator would sacrifice a large amount of warm air and the opening Bbould. be kept closed until the stable becomes too warm. The central flue is 40 Inches in diameter and rises 50 feet above the floor. The lateral flues which join the main chimney are 18 by 24 inches. There are two objects In bringing the ventilator shaft near the floor. First, remove the waste products of the lungs produced by breathing, as this foul air always settles near the floor and animals are compelled to breathe it with the impurities. Second, to dispose of the cold air in the winter rather than the warm. The coldest air in a room is always on the floor and the warmest at the ceiling. The walls of the barn are made of studding, sheeted up both InBlde and out with matched lumber and building paper. Several of the spaces between the studding are used for fresh air flues. We have used this system for 11 years and have found It to be entirely satisfactory. Wrong construction of foul air flues has sometimes led to the failure of tbe system. Some farmers make them like any ordinary boxed openings and then condemn the system because of their mistake. To construct the flue of this kind the lumber should be nailed closely, covered with paper, and after the paper a second thickness of lumber. This will Insure proper air capacity, aa it increases the friction of the moving air In the flue. A good ventilating flue must have the same qualities as a good chimney. It should rise above thei highest part of the roof so as to receive the full force of the air and wind. The best location of the foul air nue, when only one Is used, would be in the center of the barn. If two flues are used place one on each side of the middle of the stable. A Rising Gate. bucket Is filled with stones until the gate is a trifle heavier, so that a pull will make it fold back in place. ^ V - . ^ ' - V v Pea Growing. Pea growing for soil improvement is quite profitable upon sandy lands that are especially lacking In humus. Peas are a good crop to sow on clover or timothy sods the first year after breaking* as they greatly aid in subduing the soil. The peas should then be followed by a crop of grain and the land seeded down to clover. AUTUMN LEAVES FOR HUMUS F A R M N O T E 8 . Should Be Raked Together and Saved —Those from Forest Make Bedding and Litter. If you have any trees on your farm —and you should have—begin to rake up the leaves and save them as fast as they fall. Especially should this fct 4one where the leaves fall in exiMsejd places, where they will blow t i l l and become lost If the ground UftNftr the trees la covered with grass, weeds or brush that will catch and hold the leaves then they may well remain where taey fall to become future fertilizer and humus. Forest leaves make the very softest and best bedding for all farm animals tkat need bedding,, and they are valuable for mulching shrubbery and Dowering pints. Where they are used tor this purpose they should be covered with brush and weighted down, so that they will not blow away during the winter. These leaves a * also good material for scratching litter in the poultry house, and they may first.b« used tor this n*r»oae and tit* Weed seed will sprout after fall plowing, and the weeds will be destroyed by the rigors of winter. The corn crib can be made rat and mice proof by lining It with smallmesh chicken wire. Don't mow the grass In your yard from habit. Conditions of the weather way make It unwise to mow at regular intervals. A large percent, of the worst weeds come from unclean seeds. It would prove a paying Investment to pay more attention to the seed and be sure they are clean. The man who expects much from his garden Is doomed to disappointment if he uses bare, unfertilized, and ofttlmes miserably poor soil, aa a foundation. erwards removed and used for mulching garden plants. There Is 'no better material than forest leaves to use In the compost heap to make good soil for potting plants or for general garden work where the best soil is required. After they have been used in tbe poultry house or as bedding material they are still more valuable. Leaves not only add considerable available plant food to the soil when used as a fertilizer, but they readily decompose to form humus. Farms In United States. There are a great many little Jobs that require one'* attention" before winter sets in, some of which are absolutely essential, but more of them in the nature of aids to spring work or comforts to stock or family, and it la these last that are apt to be neglected. Evergreens, such as the arbor vltaa, require less labor in preparation or training and maintenance than deciduous plants, as most of then) naturally assume a pyramidal form, and good hedges can easily be produced.

It has all the desirable features found in other extreme models, and some excellent talking points, which so far, are exclusive with thia garment It forms aund not deforms tk« figure. Each and every corset will be made upon special measurements at no extra charge, and if there is any modification to the description of the standard measurements given it, of course this can be had by mentioning when placing the order. A strictly high grade corset made of fine materials. The "best dressers " in every section will be interested immediately when shown a sample. This corset we claim sells itself. Our aim is a saitafled customer with a saving to her of 40 per cent. If you have any spare time, we would like to make you a proposition that we know will interest you. Nothing required that will be disagreeable to the most sensitive or retiring person. Write for further particulars. (If we haven't a representative in your town, we will be pleased to make for you a corset from measurements at a very low figure aa an introduction.

ONLY T w o More Days of JACKSON'S Price Gutting T h i s S t o c k M u s t be R e d u c e d Every.Article Sold at a Seduction Creamery Closed. The Pinokney Creamery Co. that has been in operation here the past six months, under the management of Sari Day, cJomd its doors Tuesday morning a/ter taking in nearly 10,000 pound a ot milk Monday. For some time the company has not met its payment* on pay day bat the patrons, willing to help The company, continued to send their milk and cream and the haulers to draw it expecting to net their pay any day. Monday each were sent or given a circular stating that they expected to go into the bands ct the receiver and if taey { desired to continue with them that I all would, in the process of time, receive their back pay AS well as the present, but it wonld be three weeks before they could get any, and then it wonld come regularly every other week. If they did not want to do this of course there was but one thing to do, and that was to close the plant, and then they would probably not receive anything. The farmers haw ever had lived long enough on prsttises and Tuesday there was no milk and the pi am t shut down. Mr. Day or any member of the firm did not make an appearance Tuesday although many of the farmers came to town to talk the matter over with him. Frank Day returned Tuesday night and was here as we go to press. The Ifcrge amonnt of milk and cream that came in Monday and the cream from Saturdays milk was all made into bntter sometime during the night Monday and no butter was on hand Tuesday and what beeame of it is a mystery. The creamery has been a good thing for the village and yioinity daring the season and there are many rumors as to why it did not pay oat and it may be unraveled in time. The company have been paying the highest prices tor milk to meet the prices advanced by the condensed factory at Howell, and considerable poor milk having been received was given as reasons by Mr. Day, When the plant was put in several business men and farmers loaned the company money, |1,200, taking security on the equipment. These as well as the farmers who have delivered the milk and the haulers, will be losers. There is, we understand, due the haulers froir $100 to $800 each. Coming as it does at Christmas time it is a bard blow to all and a bard one on the village. Of course the matter is not settled yet and just what will be done is hard to say at this time. We understand tba) a party was in town Tuesday looking towards establishing a skimming station here but we conld tearn nothing definite. It would seem as if now that the plant is here that some way conld be planned to keep it in operation. In some states 9och creameries are established in nearly every village by the business men and farmers and prove money makers, why cannot that be done here? "T^T" wmimmmrmm i?

The commander of a revenue cutter reports to the treasury department that he has investigated Bogoslof Island, the frequent changes in which have been of much scientific interest, and that he steamed all around the island, taking soundings the entire way and finding bottom only at one place, where the lead touched at a depth of 45 fathoms. Steam Jets arise from a lake in the center of the island, and the conclusion is that the Island is the summit, of a volcano and that the lake is the crater. Bogoslof island has perpetrated some curious Btunts from time to time, and volcanic origin seems to explain them. Uncle Sam came Into possession of many interesting things when he acquired Alaska. M: 'ml The news that the old mining camp of Virginia City, Nev.p is sinking into the deep canyon along the side of wnlch it was built indicates an inglorious end for a town which once attained some prominence. Virginia City grew out of the opening of the Comstock lode, and the Comstock lode formerly was among the greatest silver producers in the world. Considerable gold was also found there. At one time the lode yielded wealth at the rate of $10,000,000 annually, and It made great fortunes for the "bonanza" owners. Altogether, between $300,000,- 000 and $400,000,000 in gold and silver was taken from the mines. ft** If, as is intimated, It turns out that the assassination of Prince Ito, the Japanese statesman, was the result of a far-reaching plot in Korea, the situation in that country may become most serious. Reports from Seoul, the Korean capital, go to show that te many of the people the killing of Ito was "not unpleasing." This attitude suggests greater hostility to Japan and representatives of Japanese power than had been suspected in man} quarters. In fact, there appears to b€ dangerous disaffection throughout the country, and an outbreak would not be surprising. , , J ^ ' ••'• • V &i>'* • ^. ft The United States is not the only country in which persons gratify their curiosity or morbid taste by crowding into courtrooms when sensational cases are in progress.

The state board of auditors decided to borrow $100,000 more, preferring to incur that size obligation in preference to securing $25,000 at a time, as has been done heretofore since the pinch In the state treasury made itself felt. This will make a total of $175,000 borrowed, at 3 per cent. Of the $100,000 loan. $25,000 will go for salaries and $75,000 to meet bills that have accumulated since July. It is expected that this will be the last loan. The loans will be repaid with tax money, which will soon begin to come in. Girl Accuses Father and Brothers.

The three men are charged with a statutory offense and have demanded a further examination, which will be given them. Lucy Frederickson, aged 16, is about to become* a mother. Charles, the oldest of the trio, is her father, Jind the other two men are her brothers. The authorities have in their possession confessions signed by the trio. The mother of the girl is dead. End Season on Lakes Earlier, Loss of life and property in the past three weeks breaks all records. Fortunes have been lost with the -| sinking of ships and scores of human lives have been sacrificed.

Following her acquaintance with the king she was the mother of two children, Lucien, the duke of Tervkeren, now aged 5 years, who waa.born at Villefranche, and Phil- Hppe, count of Raven stein, who was horn at Balincourt three years ago.' Tolling bells and booming cannon announced the death of King Leopold. Half-masted flags of red, yellow and black fly from the public buildings. An Intimate friend of Prince Albert, the new Belgian king, told the Matin's Brussels correspondent that the new kind's anibit ion would be to be usefuf'"£o' th~e worklngman. He is, ifl the good sense of»Lhe. word, a Socialist. He'is- aHrteep^tudent on- social questions and will astonish the world, according to' the correspondent, with modern tolerance. "Albert, will be king of a republican monarchy," said the Matin's informant, I Ift^1 c t ow» a n d S P "or, if you prefer, president of a ]" ahtep ami lamb monarchial republic." All Belgium is puzzled over the mysterious disappearance of the immense fortune of King Leopold, the dead ruler of Belgium. In his will the monarch declares he possessed only $3,000,000, which jie left to his three daughters. This 'sum is known for a fact to be tremendously below the mark. For years King Leopold has been drawing an income of $6,- 000,00*0 yearly from his Congo investment. In addition he owned vast landed estates in France. England and other European countries. The king had keen business instincts and was known, as a shrewd inrestor. On a conservative estimate he must have possessed close upon $30,000,000 before his death. The view generally accepted Is that the king, after his secret marriage with the baroness at San Remo,, Italy, made a. private will enriching his favorite tfnd her children*, Ltfefen. aged 5, upon whom he conferred the title of duke of ^evokeTeftVhnd Phil-' ippe, aged Z, who bears the title of j count of Rarensteln. -'• Senator Winer, the king's confidential legal, adviaet, admits that Leopold turned over, a considerable po*j| tlon pf hie vast hoards to, the Baron-1 created a stock company of "ills es tates In order to forestall a possible raid upon them by the princesses or the creditors; hers of my household, -T, forbid any-( i/rae to attend my fimefai.

Attorneys-at-Law. Washington, D. C. Happenings of January The first month in the year has always been a fateful one In English history, but it began most specially to be recognized as such during the reign of Charles I. It was on January 4, 1642, that the attempt was made to arrest the five members. On the tenth of the month, three years later, Archbishop Laud, was beheaded, and January 30, 1649. saw the king's own head laid upon the block. There is probably no act of parliament which has ever been the cause of such amazing dissensions and discord as that which brought about the union between Great Britain and Ireland. This came into force upon Jan* uary 1, 1801. It waa in the same month that Richard Trevithick, the Cornish Inventor, perfected the first steam locomotive which ever moved upon an English road. The great William Pitt, the most able prime minister who ever controlled the destinies of the kingdom, came into office at Christmas, 1783, and died in January, 1806. His great rival. Charles James Fox, born in Jan* uary, 1749, only survived Pitt six months. One of the greatest boons that a nation ever received from its govern* ment was conferred upon Great Britain on January 1, 1840—namely, penny postage. Adhesive stamps had been invented by Mr. James Chalmers of Dundee, six years previously, and these superseded Mulready's envelope later in the same year. January has for a long time past V^feniW a very notable month in the hriffVtf of the British royal family. On Ijsjpary 26, 1868, the Princess Royal waa married to Prince Frederick William of Prussia. The Oerman kaiaer was born in January, 1£5*. Prince Henrjuof 8attenberg*s death occurred on January 20,18M. and UM duke of Teck's life came to an end on the twenty-first of the month, 1900. One year later, on January 21,1101, came the end'of the niosi'famous reign in English or any other history. Queen Victoria died at 6:30 on the fateful evening. In northern latitudes no nation fights in winter if It can possibly be avoided, and yet January haa seen some of the toughest struggles of modern war. January, 1871, holds the record for fierce fighting. During that month there were no fewer than six terrific- battles between the French and the Germans. The last waa Gen. Trochu's grand sortie from Paris, which ended in his defeat and in the extinction of the last hopes of Paris and her citizens. A Resolution 3 for C ] New Year's The noblest resolution that any citizen could make for the new year would be the resolution to live more faithfully by the golden rule, that sublime principle of conduct for this world and for all worlds. Failure to live by this law causes the chief sorrows and collisions among men, says Edwin Markham in Success. Let each earnest man search into his words and ways, determined to find the special manner in which he breaks the golden law—his special habit that works Injustice or unhapplness in his shop, his office, his borne, his city. He will find, perhaps, that in the shop he is in the habit of mis* placing tools, and this hinders the work of his comrades; that m the office he is in the habit of being late In keeping appointments, and thus steals other people's time; that in the club he la in the habit of belittling worthy competitors* and thus Joint the gang of thieves who steal reputations; that in the home he is in the habit of monopolising the conversation, and thus fails to draw out the powers of others; that in the city he is In the habit of spitting on the sidewalk, and thua spoils the comfort of hit townsmen; that in business he is in the habit of misrepresenting but goods, and thus roba under the cover of custom.

Circumstances compelled Marjorie Hollis to earn her living, and against these circumstances her aristocratic and artistic soul waged constant rebellion. Her family and' her acquaintances generally regarded her as a spoiled child, troubled with extravagant tastes and a lack of practical sense. On her side, she felt that she was not understood nor properly appreciated— until she met Carter Dillington. Like herself, Mr. Dillington was poor and had literary aspirations, aad Marjorie felt that in him she had at last found a sympathetic fellow-mortal. He accepted special invitations to the house, but rarely called of his own accord, appearing content to ride home with her in the evening. He was excessively reserved—that was one of his peculiarities—so that notwithstanding the increasing familiarity of the acquaintanceship, Marjorie knew no more of his personal affairs at the end of nine months than she did during the first week. There was one other subject on which he was equally reticent, and that was the discussion regarding the rhyme for "Rachel." The remarkable offer in connection with this matter was a subject of unending curiosity and discussion in literary circles; but Carter Dillington pointedly avoided every allusion to It. To Marjorie, on the contrary, it was one of alluring Interest. She hesitated a long time before venturing to speak to Mr. Dillington about it. His peculiar aversion to the whole matter embarrassed her. The mere mention of the name "Rachel" disturbed him, and her occasional efforts to lead the conversation around to the subject were promptly frustrated. Finally, however, Bhe decided to appeal to him for help. Only one more week remained, and ahe beheld her dreams of wealth fading into the dull reality of drudgery. So, as he waa about to take his departure after a short call on Christmas eve, she said suddenly: "If a person were to find a rhyme for 'Rachel' it would make him famous, wouldn't it?" "I suppose it would," he answered dryly. "And It would make him rich?* "Oh, yes." Then in the same breath he abruptly changed the conversation. "Perhaps. Miss HotHs, it may interest you to know that I expect in the next week or two to come into possession of a small fortune, and I hope then to be married;" and holding out hit hand he bj&de Marjorie good night "Good night." ahe responded mechanically; and aa the door closed she staggered into the parlor, and. throwing herself upon the sofa, burst into a torrent of passionate tears. Suddenly her sobbings ceased. She sat up, bewildered, startled, in the midst of the turmoil of her troubled spirit there had buret upon her-— without warning, without thought*—a rhyme for "Rachel!" jDeciOlJtft? 17 she walked into- the- of- As* ff f-ftti-wy gtfBbrdtan and Qblttly announced; > those ^ w ° J sjotlemen that the bad come to claim the 1250, 000 for a rhyme for "Rachel." .Bos* a toonwmt the two men stared at her without uttering a sound. Mr. Dunbnry was the first to find hit voice. "Impossible!" he ejaculated. Then noUcinfc the sudden flush -upon the girl's face be checked htm* self. "Pardon me. my dear young lady! I did not mean to doubt your word; but you have tatoaiahed us beyond measure. Let me explain." and he placed his chair beside hert> "The extraordinary offer to which you have respundod waa made in compliance with the will of our lata client. Mr. Benjamin. F.,.*(prto% He was/ n txlJIe eccentric* ajod one of bit hobble* waa writing poetry. He took a great Cancy ta * uepne* of hit a*d spared no money to bare the boy well educftted. The old gentleman himself bad a very limited education, and he was determined that bis nephew should not be handicapped ta be had been., We{l, Just about the time the boy got through college the old gentleman struck a snag in this poem of bit about Fedora Lilian- Hlldegarde et al., and he called upon big nephew to help him out with a rhyme for 'Rachel/ The young man informed him that there waa no sucb rhyme, but hia uncle refused to believe it. He insisted that aa the lad had bad a college education he could find a rhyme if be chose. Well, the upshot of It was that the old gentleman took it into his Jhend that his nephew was obstinate and ungrateful, and he caat him off. A short time before he died, however, he finally concluded that perhapa there really was no rhyme for 'Rachel,' and he decided to reinstate hia nephew in his will; but with this proviso: That a rhyme should first be advertised for and that should any person produce such a rhyme within a year, then the money should go to such person, instead of the nephew. "As the executors, we, of course, followed the provisions of the will, but we were definitely satisfied there was no such rhyme. And yet you say you have found one. I am free to say it seems incredible, incredible. Still, at the same time, the offer is a bona fide one and will be carried out to the letter if your rhyme proves to be a legitimate one. it will certainly prove a most astonishing revelation to us and —to the nephew, Carter Dillington." Marjorie felt that ahe was about to faint. "May I have Just a moment to think?" she asked faintly. "Certainly, certainly! I did not mean to hurry you. Of course, I understand, you feel a trifle agitated; but take your time, and you'll recall the rhyme in a minute or two." Several moments passed in silence. Then Marjorie arose. She faced the two lawyers, and with a tremor in her voice that she struggled bravely to subdue, she said slowly: "I have not forgotten the rhyme; but—but I have decided not to submit it." It was New Year's day when Marjorie again saw Carter Dillington. He called late In the afternoon. Why had he come? she asked herself. Was it to torment her? To cause her wounded heart to bleed afresh? He appeared not to heed her constrained manner, nor the quick flushes that reddened her cheeks. "Marjorie," he said suddenly, with an impulsiveness and a familiarity he had never before manifested; "you have wished me a happy New Year. Do you know that it is you alone who can make the year happy for me— supremely happy? I did not dare express my feelings before I was absolutely sure that I could offer you the comforts and the pleasures you deserve. Now, I am Independent— wealthy; and you, Marjorie, will you share my fortune with me?" It was late ere the lovers were ready to part. "Is it any wonder," he was saying, as he llngerlngly prepared to leave, "that I avoided the subject of my uncle's outlandish offer? Supposing that by some possibility there had been a rhyme for 'Rachel;' supposing some one had succeeded in finding it! But thank fortune, dear, there is none!" "Yes, but there Is a rhyme for 'Rachel,' " she answered softly, casting down her eyes to bide her audd>n emotion. "Would you llke>to hear It? Let us sit down here—on the sofa, and I will tell It to you." She waited a moment after they were seated, and then in a half tremulous whisper she recited the following lines: "A fitting rhyme haa long; been found For each and all of these— Fedora. Lilian, Grace, Lorain And HlMewarde, Louise; And In these names themselves we and The hidden rhyme for Rachel; For, )o, the letters at these names Are F. L., Q. L.. H. L."

"About two years ago my "eyes got in such a condition that I was unable to go about. They were terribly inflamed, both the balls and lids. I tried home remedies without relief. Then I decided to go to our family physician, but he didn't help them. Then I tried two more of our most prominent physicians, but my eyes grew continually worse. At this time a friend of mine advised me to try Cutlcura Ointment, and after using it about one week my eyes were considerably improved, and in two weeks they were almost well. They have never given me any trouble since and I am now sixty-five years old. I shall always praise Cutlcura. G. B. Halsey, Mouth of Wilson, Va., Apr. 4, 1908." Potter Drag * Chen.

In an address at a teacher's institute Miss Martha Sherwood said that sad and pathetic stories should have no place in the public schools. She declared the pupils' great need is humorous stories and the kind that make children roll on the ground with laughter. "Anything to make them laugh, and laugh loudly," ahe said. "It makes them grow, putt sunshine into their lives and develops contented men and women." Worth Its Weight in Gold. PETTIT'S EYE SALVE strengthens old eyes, tonic for eye strain, weak, watery eyes.

Never disparage Ms efforts. Continual disparagement breaks the boy's spirit, and1;-there is nothing more inspiring, hoth4ng more refreshing' In this world than the broad, courageous, undismayed hopefulness of a manly boy. Take him into your confidence early. Let him know what you are going to 4)latat in the ten acre field, and how you propose to make the upland fields pay. Don't snub him. The man ' who snubs a bpy 1B uuworthy to be the father of a son. Let him have the money he earns. Ton would have to, pay the hired man .for taking care of the calves and the iiolts; why not remunerate your boy? Do not disgust him with farming in the beginning by telling him that he does not need anything but his board and clothes now, because he will have "it all" when you are gone. Five dollars when a boy is ten years old is more to him than five thousand will be when you are dead and gone and he has the farm. Do not starve your family for the sake of taking the best of everything to the market A broad and generous soul cannot develop in a starved body. Live in just as good a house as you can own, free from mortgage. Have a pleasant, sunny living room with books and papers and music. Encourage your'Hoy to invite his friends there, and jouraelf g^eet them cordially when they, come. JThe lack of social privileges at home is one fertile cause of the temptation exerted by city life on the country young man. '! y j t i . — — — \ To Bs Successful.

UM mother's appeal not to awaken aad frighten the child, softened the heart of a masked and armed hurglar who hail invaded the home of Aiolph Habar, «ae Newgard avenue. Rogers Park. Although he had compelled Mr. aad Mrs. Huber at the pout of a revolver to tail where he could obtam |5, the man departed without taking the money. Little Marie Huber, 4 years old, lay •leaping in a dark room off the kitchen and her parents were asleep in another apartment The burglar forced open a window In the first floor and crawled into the child'* room. The burglar prowled about the room for a time, but did not see the J little girl tucked in bed, and he proceeded into the room occupied by the mother and father. The opening of kthe door ol the child's room awakened Mrs. Huber, and she was sitting up in bed when the Intruder tiptoed into her room. At sight p" the t mad with the glittering revolver in his hand she screamed. M8top where you are and be quiet and I'll make no trouble for you people." the robber said. "If you scream again I'll shoot Where is your money!" Mr. Huber told the visitor there was 12 in his trousers. "You'll find $3 more in my purse • on the dresser," volunteered Mrs. Huber. "All 1 ask is that you don't awaken and frighten our little girl. 1 beg you to go now." "Where is the babyr asked the burglar. "She's asleep In that room you Just came through," said Mrs. Huber. /She's the sweetest little girl you'd want to see. She'd be scared to death if you awaken her. She never would forget it, and would be terrified for many a night to come. Please don't go out the way you come in. just go right out the front door." "I'll do that, lady," said the burglar, his voice somewhat broken. "Only remember now, be square, don't come after me. I'll not take that little money you have. I'm taking a big chance, but I won't frighten the baby; not for the world." The burglar made hiB way through Rations for Cow. Good early cut hay and corn ensilage should form the basis upon which we figure the rattans for the dairy cows during the winter. This ma/ consist of good clover, alfalfa or mixed hay and ensilage from well matured corn. It is a poor system of winter feeding that does not provide an abundance of good, palatable rough- , age.

The Burglsr Prowled About the Room. the parlor and departed out the front door, which he gently closed behind him. "The man's face was masked," said Mrs. Huber, holding little Marie in her arms, "but from his voice I should say he was a young man.

Our Canadian neighbors to the north are again rejoicing over an sbimdsnt harvest, and .reforia from tvftiWa sources go to show that the- total****)* of IMa will be far above that of any other year;. .. It is estimated that »100,000,000 will thla year go Into the pockets of the Western farmers from wheat alone,, another IW.QOO.OOO from oats and barley, while return* frqm other crops and from atock. will add .940? 000,000 more. Is It any wonder then that the farmers of , the Canadian Weat axe' happy? > Thousands of American farmers have settled in the above mentioned provinces during the past year; man who know the West and its possibilities, and who alao.know perhaps better than any other people, the best methods for profitable farming. President Taft said recently in speaking of Canada: "We have, been going ahead so rap- Idly in our own country that our heads have been somewhat swelled with the Idea that we are carrying on our shoulders all the progress there is in the world. We have not been conscious that there is on the north a young country and a young nation that is looking forward, as It well may, to a great national future. They have 7,000,000 people, but the country is still hardly scratched." Jas. J. Hill speaking before the Canadian Club of Winnipeg a few days ago said: "I go back for S3 years, when I came West from Canada. At that, time Canada had no North/West. A young boy or man who desired to carve his own way had to cross the ltne, and to-day it may surprise you—one out of every five children born In Canada lives In the United States. Now you are playing the return match, and the North-West is getting people from the United States very rapidly. We brought 100 land-seekers, mainly from Iowa and Southern Minnesota, last night out of St. Paul, going to the North-West.. Now, these people have all the way from five, ten to twenty , thousand dollars each, and they will. make as much progress on the land in one year as any one man coming from the Continent of Europe can make, doing the best he can, in ten, fifteen, or twenty years." It is evident from the > welcome given American settlers in Canada that the Canadian people appreciate them. Writing from Southern Alberta recently an American farmer says: — "We are giving them some new ideas about being good farmers, and they are giving us some new ideas about being good citizens. They have a law against taking liquor into the Indian Reservation. One of our fellows was caught on a reservation with a bottle on him, and it cost him 150. One of the Canadian Mounted Potfce found him, and let me tell you, they find everyone who tries to go up against the laws of the country. "On Saturday night every bar-room is closed, at exactly 7 o'clock. Why? Because it is the law, and it's the Bame with every other law. There Isn't a bad man in the whole district and a woman can come home from town to the farm at midnight if she wants to, alone. That's Canada!* idea how to run a frontier; they have certainly taught us a lot "On the other hand, we are running their farms for them better than any other class of farmers. I guess I can say this without boasting, and the Caandian* appreciate us. We turn out to celebrate Dominion Day; they are glad to have us help to farm the country; they know how to govern; we know how to work." Another farmer, from Minnesota, who settled in Central Saskatchewan some years ago, has the following to aay about the country:-— "My wife and I have done well enough since we came from the States; we can live anyway. Ww came in the spring of 1901 with the first carload of settlers' effects unloaded in these parts and built the first shanty between Saskatoon and Lumsden, We brought with our car of settlers' effects the sum of $1800 in cash, to-day we are worth $40,000. We 'proved up' one of the finest farms la Western Canada and bought 320 acres at $8 par acre. We took good crops off the land fot four years, ai the end of which w* had 88000 worth of improvements in the way of buildings, etc., and had planted three aero* of trees.

Winter wheajt can be grown in one-half of the country through which I have passed, and alfalfa and one of the varieties of" clover In three-fourths of it The farmers do not believe this, but it is true." keeping pace with wheat production, the growth of railways has been quite as wonderful, and the whole country from Winnipeg to the Rocky Mountains will soon be a net-work of trunk and branch lines. Three great transcontinental lines are pushing construction in every direction, and at each siding the grain elevator is to be found. Manitoba being the first settled province, has now an elevator capacity of upwards of 25,000,000 bushels, Saskatchewan 20,000,00, and Alberta about 7,000,000, while the capacity of elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur, on the Great Lakes, Is upwards of 20^009,000 more. Within ihe provinces of Manitoba,. Saskatchewan and, Alberta there are flour and oatmeal mills with a combined capacity of 26.0(H) barrels per day, and situated along some famous water powers vin New Ontario, there are larger mills than will be found anywhere In the Prairie Provinces. Last year the wheat crop totaled over 100.000.QOO bushels. This year the crop wijl yield 30.000,000 more. A recent sumsnary shows that on the 1st of January, 1909, the surveyed Hands of the'three western provinces, totaled 134.auD,00(L,acrea, at which about 32,- 000,000 have been given as subsidies to railways,, 11,000,000 disposed of in other ways and 38,000,00^ given by the Canadian Government as free homesteads, being 236,000 homesteads of 160 acres each.

She thought this very amusing and told her husband about it. "Don't be alarmed," she said. "You know., that I am an honest Woman, but I must have some amusement and. really, I find this count and his compliments quite entertaining." Whereupon Pierre Dubrenll's dull suffering assumed a more acute form. The thought of this titled ass braying his., equivocal compliments into Marthe's ears almost choked him. Often when he met the fellow in so- among dramatists of the first rank laugh." But it turned out not to be a farce nor even a comedy. On the contrary, it was a serious drama which dealt with emotions capable of causing ithe keenest suffering of which the human heart is susceptible. ' It-waked up the jaded public arid stirred it to enthusiasm. Its Buccess was immense, triumphal, without precedent. It stood revealed as a masterpiece which was to have a run of W0 nights and give its author a place clety he, was tempted to fall upon him.and,throstle hlrn. The count deigned to interest himself in Pierre and patronized him. "Write a play, write a play, my young friend," he said. "I will recommend it and see that it is produced. Talent? The. devil! A writer, with such a wife has talent enough." Marthe sang the same song in a different key. "Oh. Pierre!" she said. "Why can't you write a play that will make a sensation? A strong,, realistic, psychological thing—a problem play? Surely you can And material enough." One summer night at the seashore, while Marthe, weary with much dancing, was sleeping soundly. Pierre sat brooding at his desk The sum and substance of hip reflections,,as usual, was that Marthe's former love for him had evaporated into thin air and that his fife was a wreck "Pshawf' Why go over it all again?" he said, finally. "But I can't sleep, so I may as Well try to write." And he did write. Not having any definite purpose, he allowed his pen to transcribe' the thoughts that had been tormenting him. So what he wrote was dreary enough, a tissue of remembered joys and present rowB. Then characters began to grow and take shape under his pen—Qrst himself, clearly recognizable, then Marthe, and finally the count, his contemptible but hated rival. And so he worked all night on this drama of real life and real emotions. "What! Up so early?** Marthe exclaimed as she awoke at dawn. "What In the world are you working at so hard?" "Oh, nothing," he said, coldly: "Nothing of any account, at least. Biow could it b e r Every night after this, when Marthe was asleep, he rose silently, stole to his desk like a thief in the night and worked diligently and enthusiastically at his task. And this time he felt sure .that the task would be accomplished and that the result would be food. In due time they returned to Paris, Piefre with regret, but Marthe with delight for. had not the count her faithful adorer, promised her a series of entertainments to which tout Paris should come to do her homage? •<We Win launch 'yonf husband on the sea of fame," he said in his most patronising manner.

The first words of the play gave her a little shock of surprise. Why, this was an old story to her! It seemed like a faithful transcript of the memories of her bridehood, of her vanished happiness. If the first act was idyllic, the second was full of action. Then the storm burst and it added to Marthe's amazement, for it recalled vividly the first storms of her matrimonial voyage. Evidently Pierre had put his own story upon the stage. This was Cleveland interesting, but—what would the outcome be? Marthe had long been so estranged from her husband, so indifferent to his thoughts and feelings, that she was totally unable to forecast his development of the theme. The third act was a cold, pitiless, masterly analysis of the torture of the husband vacillating between forced resignation and unavailing love and of the Character of the wife, frivolous, careless and cynical. Marthe listened and her heart stood still. Every word waa a stab. s o r "4wa8 it possible that Pierre had suffered like this—and through her? For now there could be no doubt.

There was no doubt whatever about bis fasocial coudirioc. it was 2 cents lo bAod-lltenUly In band, for be was looking at the copper coins lugubriously* remembering at tae aama time tnat tfear* was not even a croat of bread in tt» S W M for alt wife and two Uttie children. He bad takan a onair oa tne porcb of U» Sandwich bote! tMcaoat Chairs there were tree and be didn't belong anywhera, Bam waa a miner and bad worked In many miasm. He bad been caugnt in a labor storm with the result of loss of employment Bis savings were all gon* toere waa no proapect of work whore be waa, and he bad no means of taking bimaeil and bis family anywhere else. Two men were sitting at tbe other end of tbe porcb talking together excitedly, tbougb in a low tone. Calkins board the word "strike" and, supposing It referred to labor mattors in which be was interested, bo pricked up bis ears and soon dlscoTered tnat they referred to a strike of paying ore in some mine the name of which they did not mention. One of tbe men took a package from bis pocket—tbe wrapper was a piece of newspaper—and. unrolling it, showed bis companion specimens of ore. Calkins caogbt tbe words "six hundred to the ton." This told him that the specimens mentioned assayed to produce this amount out of a ton of ore. After peaelng the samples back and forth for awhile, tbey were rolled again In tbe bit of newspaper, and U?e man woo bad produced taem put tnem agaiajty bis pocket Boon after both men arose and went away. Calkins would nave gone away, too. If be bad bad any place to go. But be hadn't Being rest leas, be got up and walked over to the other end of the porcb. in a chair in which one of tbe men had been sitting be noticed • little dark lamp about the size of a hickory nut Taking It up. be looked at it scratinudngly. **lf tbe Constant veto hadn't run out" be remarked to himself, "I'd swear the chunk came out of ft." It was a brownish quartz and full of gold. Calkins bad worked In tbe Constant mine, wbicb bad proved inconstant. While there be had taken out just such ore as this. Bat be had seen the vein grow narrower and narrower till it was nothing more than a crack. The mine, after a search for a reopening ot tbe vein, bad been abandoned, and Calkins bad gone to work elsewhere. Personally be believed that if tbe vein were followed deep enough it might be found to reopen. But the stockholders were discouraged and would not stand assessment. 8uddenly It occurred to Calkins that tbe vein had been followed and paying ore again struck. Then came tbe quick thought, "Can I, with only 2 cents ID the world, profit by what 1 suspect if it Is true?" He went into tbe hotel, where a printed list of quotations of mining stocks was banging on the wall, and glanced at sales of Constant. There were sales at 6 cents a share. Tbe stock bad recently stood at 4 cents. Then Calkins walked up tbe street to tbe office of a man of the name of Fisher, whom be knew held some of tbe shares. "I've got some Information," said the miner. "Do you want it or shall i take it elsewhere?" "I'm your man." -What'll you giver •Ten per cent of tbe profit** -Make it 20 and I'll out with It" " A l l right, 20 it is." Calkins produced bis chunk of ore and told Plsher tbat It had come out of the Constant mine. Fisher asked bow he knew i t but Calkins declined to satisfy him. He felt sure that if his man knew be was guessing tbe transaction would end then and there. Fisher had that morning sold part of bis stock at 6 cents a share. He sent la an order to buy it back and 10,000 shares more at the market price. He got 1,000 at 6, 2,000 at 6½ and the balance at figures rising by fractions till tbe price paid was 7½ cents. The sales were larger than for many months, but not considerable. Ca7aln« wished fo ask Plsber for a little money In advance to buy a supper for his family, but dared not lest he should lead him in s n s r w t rhst the whole nfl'uir ivus simply n fjaun1 fo bout him out of a paltry sum. So greiic wns his suspense that he preferred to keep away f r o m home. B e was banging between heaven and hell. The next morning when be turned out of nti ouilmtisi* where be bad slept he spent hl^ 2 rents for a paper. There iu big headline* he see aouncement that tbe Constant The Time it now as there are only a few mora days before Xmas The Place to buy your Christmas Groceries, Candies, Cigars, etc., is of Raisin* Currants) 20c Coffee 23c Coffee 7 c 7 c 17a 22c Specials for This Week j .

Before noon Fisher gave his informant a | check for $12,000. Fortune had favored the man whose capital was but 2 cents. Those In tbe j.oecret had bought up what stock tbey , wanted at private sale, knowing that If they all went into the exchange together they would advance the price. When Calkins went home loaded with good things he found his wife crying, bis children clamoring for something to eat. His bankbook dried bis wife's tears, and bis bundles stop* ! ped his children's clamor. She Was Willing.

OL. xx m. PINOKyEY, LIVINQ8TON CO,, MICH., THURSDAY, DECEMBER a o ' T w / ^ l S S O n t h e T h r e s h o l d . Saturday is tbe first day of January 1910. We art), so to speak, on the threshold ot a.iuw and untried season of time. While the year 1909 is still fresh in our memories, still its days are past and Rone, and every day taken us farther and fai ti_er away from the unreoallable past. What has the last year meant to us? To many it, has brought joy and gladness while to others not hint? bat oi bow they have traveled here below. First, Jet us ask, "How Jong have we Jived?" then following that "What have we accomplished?" "What has tbe new year in store lor us? ' "How will its events and cireumatanees effect our lives?" These are serious questions that we will be called upon to de cide this year and we may never have another chancse to change our decision in this life. May God help us to weigh every question carefully and prayerfully and to then decide for tbe LOCALNfcWS. sorrow But, bright or shaded, it has ' right. passed into the recesses of an endless of eternity. But what of last year's privileges and opportunities? Did we use them to the best advantage? Did we improye every chance to draw near to God and our fellow man? Are we happier and better, and is the world better for our having lived through as a thousand years tbe year of 1909? Today is a good time for us to look into the past and note both oar suecesses and our failures that the lessons j Saturday, Christmas day, 1909. at teamed may not lie wholy lost. If | high noon, occured tbe marriage of we bave succeeded in any particular Miss Grace Pool and Mr. Aubrey Gilway in doing good then that part of chnst at tbe home of the bride's mothour life should be made a model for er, Mrs. Elmer Book in the presence Yes, we stand on tbe threshold another year. Wbat this court ol mystery contains tor us we do uot know, nor would we if we could. Let us do our best (for nothing but the best will count in tbe end) and leave the results with Him to whom a thousand years are as one day and one day C h r i s t m a s W e d d i n g . every hour ot thj future life. The innocent mirth, the useful effort should be multiplied a hundredfold in tbe days to come. It we bave failed in anything let us strive to profit by that failure by do iiiK btittei. Do we know wherein we were tempted in tbe past? Let us shun tbe places of that temptation and of a large number of relatives and friends. The rooms were beautifully decorated « ith Christmas bells and holly. Rev E. W. Exelby performed the ceremony using the Methodist Episcopal ring service. Tbe bride was attended by Miss Hansine Larsen and the groom by Thomas Pool, brother help tbe Lord to answer our prayer, of tbe bride, and a sister, Miss Gladys "Lead us i.ot into temptation." Have |Pool, aeted as ring hearer, we undented uny duty, let us today The young couple were tie recipresolve to preform every duty that | ients of many beautiful and useful comes to us. Whatever the old year has brought for us, let us profit by it. What haa the old year brought you, fri«nd? Joy and ove and ew«etue8s?

There Its nothing novel or startling about this condltlun. It is Dot abnormal, says £bk&. Washington Herald. It Is possible to view with complacency the estimate that an additional 9100,- uOO.OOU Is carried out of this country every year by tourists and expended abroad. This is true, even in face of the fact that for months the trade balance has shown an increase of imports, both luxuries, and necessities, which may be regarded as a symptom of increased domestic trade. It must he observed that.the gold production of the United States equals its currency demand. This Is tru? of no European country. Moreover, there Is a surplus of silver output. Thus this country Is slightly ahead In the source ot the precious metals. It is not necessary for the United States to buy gold to pay its debts. This remains a fact, despite the interest payments upon our securities In the hands of foreign investors and the premiums upon foreign insurance policies. It Is the American farmer who moat contributes to ihe squaring of this account. Europe demands all the cotton, corn and wheat that this country can spare from its own cansumers, and this year the prices of those staples are high. Thus In international balances, it is always necessary to reckon with those primary sources of wealth, the farm and the mine. Count Zeppelin was quoted the other day as expressing the belief that the time when it would be possible to cross the ocean In airships was near at hand. He was represented as saying that carrying passengers and freight in this manner undoubtedly would be practical. And here comes an American scientist who completely out-Zeppelins Zeppelin. Prof. Thaddeus C.

It is not so many years ago since the idea of producing good silks in the United States was ridiculed as utterly chimerical. . To-day American silks rank well alongside the best imported goods, and now noted silkmakers are bringing their establishments herefrom other lands. Protection did it, and will do abundantly for any nation which applies the principle understanding^. A high school on Long Island has lasued an edict against hair puffs and cosmetics. With regard to the former something desperate needs to be done, as at the present rate of puff decoration, the average woman's head threatens to blot out the landscape, and it is necessary to attack the evil with the growing generation if a race of top-heavy women are not to afflict the eye of beauty-loving mankind. A New Jersey teacher has just started for Europe to collect a hundred-odd millions belonging to the estate of Sir Francis Drake. If she succeeds, it will give a fresh impetus to the overworked but hitherto unprofitable "English- clAim" industry, which, oddly enough, has fixed Its focus on English landed estates when castles' in Spain are so much better adapted for the purpose. The fact that the necessities of life have increased in price 56 per cent, in the last 13 years doesn't worry the farmer. The city man may havo pleasures that are denied to him, but when it comes to a table groaning with good things the countryman is the real epicure. a.

BURIED M E FOR SEVEN M I M E D 1 ONE QF THE FOUR ENTOMBED NECAUNEE MINERS (9 RESCUED. APPEAL LAW IS INVALID. Supreme Court Declares It Deprives Counties of Right of Self-Government— Power Taken From Supervisors. Frank Comlello was snatched from the jaws of death after a week's entombment, when rescuers found him alive la the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron company's mine a t . Negaunee. He was buried 600 feet beneath the surface a week ago, along with three other men, who were cuught by a mud slide. Peter Muudi was found dead near Condello, but the other two men have not yet been reached. Condello Is in surprisingly good condition. He was buried in a space only a few feet square, and was without food, and when he was taken out of the mine he was able to walk with only one man supporting him. The rescued miner is married and his Is a happy home today. Mourning has turned to joy, for hardly anyone supposed that any of the men could be alive. Muudi was a single man, aged about 30. The four miners were entombed when a stream of mud suddenly gushed into the sub-level where they were. It is supposed that in firing a blast a hole Mas broken through the roof. Now that one man has been found alive the rescue work continues with renewed vigor in the hope of saving the two miners still entombed. Appeal Law of 1909 Is Invalid. The supreme court handed down a decision, declaring unconstitutional the law enacted by the legsilaturelast winter, providing for appeals from the equalization between townships as fixed by the boards of supervisors. This law, known as Act No. 292, provided for the appointment of a committee of appeals in case a supervisor was not satisfied with the equalization as fixed by the board, one member to be selected by the supervisor making the appeal, one by the board and those two to choose a third member. The case decided was the one brought from Bay county and two other cases from Manistee and MUBkogon counties were also presented to the court. The validity of the law was attacked on the grounds that judicial power is conferred on the committee, that it deprives counties of the right of self-government, that the tribunal or agency created is not an impartial one and that the act as amended is incomplete and defective and not a workable law. Bay City Newspaper Man I K Trouble. In Mercy hospital, this city, occupying rooms side by side, lie Mr. and Mrs. Edward Kinney, the former suffering from a probably fatal self-inflicted wound and the other prostrated from shock. A sweet little miss of perhaps five summers, their daughter, is the third person in the one side of a domestic tragedy. Kinney, an advertising solicitor and collector for the Ray City Tribune, yesterday sent a bullet close to his heart after what he says was a quarrel with Miss Eva Ratelle, a clerk. Miss Ratelle Rays that Kinney enticed her into his home shortly before 12 o'clock yesterday and that after he tried to criminally assault her, she broke away and jumped through a window. On the wall near the hed on >which Kinney was found the words, "Xmas, Celia, Goo—" were scrawled in blood. Celia is the name of Kinney's wife. Ho had Hipped his finger In his own blood and written what he thought would be his last message to her on the wall. Becoming weak from lose of blood, he was unable to finish the word "good-bye." To Look Into Trolley Rates. The railroad commission has ordered a stay of proceedings In the matter of the freight, rate on milk charged by the D. T7. R., and will do some investigating in other states to learn how the rates run there as compared with thofl*> charged by steam roads. R. R. Darwin, of the commission's rate department, will make a tour to get this information. Meantime the D. TJ. R. Is to continue charging the old rate. Succ«eds Arthur Hill a* Regent. Gov.

While there is no hint of any intentional wrongdoing, the conditions resulting from the loose methods of bookkeeping are ve**y deplorable, he says. While W. C. Durant, head of the General Motors Co., was being shaved in a Lansing hotel, a man asked for 10 minutes of his time. The request was granted and after a short conversation Durant signed his name to two papers the other presented. Then he told the barber to go ahead with the shaving. It was later learned that by affixing his signature to the papers Durant. had closed a $1,000,000 business deal, When local option petitions are presented to the board of supervisors of Van Buren county at the January session they will contain over 400 names, more than are required to have the question submitted. Advocates of local option are now making an effort to have a large number of the signers ask the county clerk to erase their names from petitions before thoy are presented to the board of supervisors and notices to this effect, are being published.

Their wheat was not a hi lb. to the bushel article hut 62 and €3 lbs. They have seen within the past year or two trunk lines of railway constructed through their district,- and throwing out branch lines to the gates of their farm. They have seen schools established in their neighbourhood and the Government contributing largely to their expense. Churches have been erected, villages have been established, towns have sprung into existence and cities are rapidly springing up, as if the magic hand of some unseen conjurer was at work. But it was not; it was the legitimate offering of the wealth of the field which made all these things come about, naturally, and easy. The prairie that three years ago was merely prairie, a patch of brown, Just waiting for the ploughman, is to-day dotted with tilled farms and splendid homes. The line of elevators with their glistening metalled fireproof sides and roofs, indicate the location of the town and the railroad. There is the glow of newness about It all, but the elevator, the splendid store buildings and the comfortable hostelries denote wealth, beyond that of the strength of the man who fashioned and built them but the wealth of the soil, which means that the newness will be followed by a steady growth. The writer recently was a passenger over the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest factor' in this great marvelous field of development. The rapidity with which towns were being built up, the farmsteads occupied, was something eren his experienced eye had not looked for. Everywhere along the line of this new transcontinental was the distinguishing mark of progress. There was not a mile of the length of the road from Winnipeg to Edmonton and west that did not bear token of its ability to pay tribute to the revenue of the road. Mention is made of this line, not because it Is the last in the field, but because it Is one of the best built roads on the Continent and traverses one of the best districts of an excellent country. It Is well operated, and already has gone into active service as another means of making it possible to secure more speedily transit from the grain fields to the shipping, centres. It had been the Intention in this article to have, spoken of some of the yields of grain v that have made the farmers of Central Canada contented this year, but space will not permit, so that delightful task will be taken up in another issue. In the meantime it would be well for the reader, if he is interested, to put himself in touch with some official of the Canadian Government and get information that might be useful in making a selection for a home in Central Canada, and become one of those who will be instrumental in building up a great country to the north. In doing so, you will be assisting the United States. In a few years' time the United States will he a wheat importer.

I, John Stephens, aged 24, occupied a rather comfortable seat upon the shaded balcony of that large, ultra-fashionable hotel at Valparaiso, which, as travelers will recall, clings to the steep hillside overlooking both the city and harbor beneath. 1 was alone, not having as yet ordered the serving of the evening meal. A gayly attired military band was playing noisily in a near-by plaza, and ihrough.the intervening distance I was able to distinguish plainly the patriotic notes of national music. I even believed that a medley of shouting voices, mingled with an echo of cheers, was borne to me on the rising Uight wind, and I leaned above the low railing to gaze down, slightly interested, as a regiment of Chilean infantry— regulars of the line, from their white trousers and stiff hats— swept swiftly past the hotel corner in rapid time, to disappear sut.denly over the .steep crest in the direction of the q\:ay. Far away, toward the right, where Iho long row of graystone barracks was still dimly visible against the darker background of surrounding hills, was to be discerned a glimmer of steel, as squadrons of cavalry and artillery engaged in dress parade, their numerous banners flapping against the sky. At the moment these several occurrences served to awaken the merest interest, tending rather to bring home to memory a freshening knowledgesof the desperation of my situation, 1 It, can all be told in few words: I was persona non grata to the Chilean fuuhorities, with apparently every possible avenue leading forth from the country fully and effectively barred. While personally unknown to those officials, thus far successful in mask ing my movements under the guise ot a foreign gentleman of leisure temporarily resident at a fashionable hotel, I nevertheless discovered it impossible to break through the cordon of watchful government spies and shake the Chilean dust from off my feet, A rapid explanation will suffice. A native of Massachusetts, of excellent family connections, together with prospects of furure wealth, I early deyel+ jBOd the unrestrainabie propenai- .jUfjRTO a rover, and after a vain effort *T© twrn my reluctant ambition toward one of the learned professions my parents, despairing of ever doing better. finally consented to apprentice me to the sea. Unfortunately for the realization of, their more secret hopes, I took to that hard, adventurous life a s a duck to water, so that, at the end of five years' service, I had risen, through the various grades, to the Honorable position of first officer in t h e old Leytand Hn/\ my steamship being (he Vulcan, trading between New York and South American ports. §lon.

Beyond doubt our concession w$a an extremely valuable one, but, as we were soon destined to discover, It came to us with an unfortunate flaw in the title, there developing a spirited controversy between the constituted authorities of Bolivia and Chile, over which country the territory Involved belonged. From harsh words In public, and the private exchange of diplomatic notes, the argument rapidly advanced to blows, and was finally referred to the arbitrament of the rifle. AB our financial interests were entirely Bolivian, and our invested money a t stake, it was no more than natural that we should openly ally ourselves w.Uh that struggling faction which the Chilean authorities promptly de nounoed as insurrectos, aud proceeded to crush. It was something of a comic opera war, resulting in two or three sklr mlshes wherein ill-equipped and poorly officered palsanos were pitted against regular troops of the line, and, as we received from Bolivia no more substantial aid than vague promises, our resistance, though rather stubborn, was soon overcome. When the final wild stampede for safety came, I discovered myself, as quartermaster gen Three Were In the Party, Apparently Father, Mother and Daughter. eral of the late revolutionary forces, still in possession of a considerable sum of money, to which no one else possessed any better claim, the unhealed scar of a Chilean bullet in my shoulder, and an exceedingly flattering chance of being snmmarily shot by drumhead court-martial if caught. All opportunity for retreat across the Bolivian frontier was already effectively blocked, but, after several weeks of excessive hardship, skulking amid the dark recesses of Indian huts In the mountains, I succeeded in stealing unobserved into Valparaiso, feeling confident that, as a sailor, I should be able to discover in that busy seaport some early opportunity for escape. This confidence was doomed to bitter disappointment. The Chilean authorities were especially desirous of apprehending me, inspired doubtless by visions of the war-chest, rumored tc be of far greater value than truth could justify. They were both alert and suspicious. The American consul was obdurate to pleading, refusing peremptorily to become involved in the affair, while no war vessel floating the flag of the United States, to which I might flee for protection, entered the harbor. Manifestly it was impossible for me to depart on any foreign vessel as a passenger without possessing the necessary papers properly vised, nor could I even ship as seaman before the mast without running the gantlet of numerous suspicious officials especially warned to apprehend me. In brief, though possessing ample means, I was a helpless prisoner, my only safety the keeping out of sight from all in authority within the narrow confines of the hotel. Sitting there in solitude that evening I thought it out all over again for the hundredth time, bitterly cursing myself for a stupid fool, yet utterly unable to discover any venturesome prospect of ultimate escape. I was trapped as securely as though the hand of actual arrest was about to be placed upon my shoulder. I might. by thus continuing, to skulk lu the dark, delay the result, yet the final ending was inevitable. Beyond doubt i was cornered, and the time waa ripe fjor the- eager acceptance of any reck- Soon after I attained this berth my > leas opportunity.

Saint Andrew! mine was a situation to chill the blood. The stars began to gleam in the black void of sky overhead, those bril- Uant, scintillatine stars of th« south 1n their unfamiliar constellations, tf*rever reminding me that I was an alien and a stranger. The city Itself", wrapped within the deepening folds of this early night BMkntie, appeared unusually noisy and demonstrative. I dimly wondered at i t There was a ceaseless blare of bands, a- medley of Inarticulate cries, mingled with the continuous disorder of shuffling feet along the roughly paved streets. I could distinguish nothing definite as I hung curiously over the balcopy rail, staring idly down, yet It was plainly evident that the entire population was astir with some Increasing excitement. Far out toward the distant mouth of the harbor a fortress battery was tiring salvos of artillery, the swift flames of discharge cleaving the black shadows in vicious spurts of yellowish red* the sullen reverberations of sound shaking the hotel casements. Some Holy Saint's day, I imagined, wondering idly wb*t special devotion of the church could be responsible for so much of uproar, so general an outpouring of enthusiasm. Still, the thought held me barely for a moment; my own personal affairs were far too serious and insistent for any wasted attention upon the saints. I turned back from the rail and glanced carelessly within. The great dining hall was already brilliantly Illuminated, and a number of the tables were surrounded by guests. It formed a cosmopolitan scene, the grouped | faces being representative of a wide variety of races, the scraps of conver- "sation which floated to me through the open window revealing half the languages of Europe, Swarthy Spaniards, volatile Frenchmen, silent sons of Albion, talkative Yaukess, bewhiskered and bespectacled Germans, blonde, rosy-cheeked Swedes, together with representatives from half a dozen South American countries, were indiscriminately mingled in sudden brotherhood. This motley, Interesting company was composed principally of men, exhibiting here and there the glitter of military uniforms, or some peculiarity of attire attesting the presence of the inevitable globe-trotter, although the majority were plainly enough commercial gentlemen, interested in various lineB of trade, and drawn into this vortex from the four corners of the globe in the wild scramble after gold. No foreign passenger steamer had entered the harbor within the past 24 hours, and 1 had already studied those faces before in the vague, shadowy hope of discovering a friend. 1 lit another cigarro, out of sheer nervousness, and sat silently watching a Chinese attendant lighting the colored lanterns suspended along the balcony roof. \ sudden rocket went swiftly and sizzling up from out the center of the groat plaza be l°w > and my. eyes followed its swift flight into the black sky until It burst into a thousand miniature stars. When 1 turnea once again, now half inclined to beckon a waiter and order the serving of dinner, a newly arrived company of guests had taken possession of the small round table just within the open window. Three were in the party, apparently father, mother and daughter, beyond question of high social class. Paterfamilias, sitting in stately dignity at what might be considered the head of the board, a broad napkin spread across his right knee, was typically aristocratic, of spare figure, stern lean face, with irongray hair, and mustaches trimmed to perfect point, his eyes, cold and emotionless, gleaming like steel points behind gold-rimmed glasses—a man CoTtsfjUJ n»veif 89, fiUCf BeMM44 to,,toe extreme that irritating hauteur poestole •WTtJ to "an JtfBfcliBbHfain of recognized family aim* position. "The lady occupying the seat opposite him, whom I naturally presumed t o be t i l s wH«, was fleshy enough to own an ample double chin, which drooped to a vaster expanse below; most exp*<*alvely gowned, her fingers laden with diamonds, and a lorgnette at her eye, through which Bhe deliberately surveyed the assembled company. H e r evident attempt a t duplicating the calm h a u t t o n of her emotionless companion was nevertheless somewhat of a counterfeit, as it failed to conceal wholly a blight twiukle of amusement curving the corners of her mouth, and a certain slight vulgar uneasiness of manner. His ideal was evidently that of a marble statue, cold, immaculate, his slightest movement revealing the frigidity of one born to the purple, while my lady retained some semblance to flesh and blood, although well veneered by long social artifice. He was nature, while she had evidently been developed by .skill; yet the matron, to my thinking, proved far the more interesting specimen of the two. I must confess, however, wasting precious little attention upon either, for niy eyes early rested upon the younger woman seated between the two, and hence directly confronting me. I will not say I never saw a fairer picture of womanhood just when the lovely flower becomes a blossom fully blown, yet assuredly none other ever possessed for mo the same indefinable fascination, the same ineffable charm. Twenty-two, possibly, although her age was difficult to guess, with oval face and clear, fresh skin, the rich, red blood of perfect health crimsoning the rounded cheeks; eyes of deepe*st, darkest gray, the kind of eyes pledging a thoughtful soul behind to yield them such rare power of expression; a face reflecting the joy of living, yet responsive, and, in moments of quietness, saddened beyond its years; an entrancing dimple visible in the rather broad chin; the lips moist and rosy with health, sufficiently parted to reveal a tantalizing glimpse of white, regular teeth behind; the forehead low and broad, the wealth of shadowing hair of darkest brown, yet with an odd gleam of reddish gold causing the gathered masses to seem an aureole of beauty. But it was not the outward face alone, nor any combination of pleasing features, which yielded such rare and indescribable charm—it was rather a distinct and unusual personality which gave to these both life and attractiveness. Her slightest glance or movement, natural and unaffected, seemed a new revelation of self, the outer expression of a secret inward life which I instinctively longed to penetrate, the guarded mystery of which was invitation. The three conversed little, speaking English with that lack of restraint common to those who have been accustomed to having discreet servants behind their chairs, the man grumbling. icily over the quality of food furnished aud the indifferent service, my lady commenting with audible distinctness on the personal appearance of the various people present, the girl contenting herself with an occasional monosyllable when directly addressed. I dispatched my own order, and, while idly waiting the return of the servant, had my attention attracted toward a group gathered about a second table just beyond the one occupied by the English family party. (TO B E C O N T I N U E D . ) Getting Along All Right. A young Japanese in one of our institutions of learning, having acquired a very good knowledge of English, went out. to deliver a lecture in that language. On his return, says the Hartford Courant, one of the instructors asked if he had a pleasant time. He replied: "Yes, very." "How did you get on with the lecture?" "Oh, quite well, but the audi: ence smiled at some things when I could see.no jokes." "Could you give me an instance?" "Well, I opened my lecture by saying t h a t although I was new in English language I thought 1 could deliver the goods; and they all ! smiled." Now, doubtless t h e audience smiled at what they thought was the ready way in which a foreigner had adapted a bit of American slang; but he did not understand the smile because he thought he was speaking good English. The Passion Flower. The lovely Passion flower takes its name on account of its characteristics which symbolize the circumstances of our Lord's death and pastion. The leaves represent the spear? the tendrils the cords with which he was scourged, the ten petals the ten apostles who deserted him, the central pillar the cross, the stamens the hammers, the styles the nails, the inner circle round the center the crown of thorns, the white hue of the flower is typical of innocence, and the blue shade a symbol of heaven. The fact that the Passion flower remains open for only three days and then dies, represents the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord.—Home "'Notes. Homage to Brawn. The triumphs of the scholar the public regards as individual; the prowess of the athlete is popularly held to establish the name and fame of his college. Of course, this is unreasonable, for the reputation of a university as an Institution of learning should depend Upon the liberal education she gives to those within her gates. But it is quite true that, despite the excellent reasons why it should not do so. the pnblic continues to pay homage to brawn rather than brain, in so far as the undergraduate U ooncerned.

He made a movement toward her, but something—or the lack of some thing—in her eyes restrained him. "The fault was wholly mine," she went on. quietly. "It was. aucb a little thing—but 1 often think Ufa's greatest tragedies grow-out of trifles. A word- from me would have sufficed— but my foolish soman's pride woujd not let me speak. If I had. been—less uncertain—but it was at a time when everything was still indefinite. 1 waB not sure of you—or even of myself. Yet I think you must have guessed that I cared; and I used to fancy— you did love me. Will?" VLove you! In the years I've spent away from you I've sounded the depths of despair. I don't qtitt* understand what kept me from being' a brute to her; some Inherited instinct of decency perhaps—my forbears were gentlemen, I'm told—though 1 had only wyself to blame. She was an accident of Fate. It might have been iny one else. I was mad enough for anything. " She drew a long, deep breath. "It would have spared me something If I could have made myself believe that, Will, but I couldn't. I kept telling myself that you did not love me, that you never had and that my foolish vanity made me fancy It. When I tieard of your marriage—" "Don't speak of it, dear, 1 was desperate— half mod, l •think;1''! thought cou had been playing with me, that cou had planned it all to show your power—ah, what a fool, what a miserable, blind fool 1 was! And then to Jrag that innocent girl into my misery —it was brutally unfair to her. But I don't remember that I thought of aer. Suffering makes men selfish and I was wild with rage and pain. I married her with some mad idea of proving that your vaunted powers had failed--ah, lone, If I alone could have suffered for my folly! I tried not to act the cad, lone. Upon my honor 1 aid my best, l tried with all my strength to k«ep the truth from her, but I think she guessed almost from the first." "Poor child," IoH£ s^ld SQttly, "Poor :hild!" "lone," he said wistfully, " have you no pity for me? It is the erring always who need pity—not the innocent." Slip turned her eyes upon him. "Will." she said slowly, "it would nnce have been balm to my hurt to know that you needed pity—but I'm past all that now. I used to feel that I could have given you up to her almost resignedly, if 1 had been Bure that your heart was mine. But the time came when 1 conquered that feeling and tried to hope that you loved her. 1 think mine was not wholly a selfish love, Will. All through those first awful days after 1 conquered my bitterness, 1 kept saying to myself over and over. 'He loves her; he la happy. That should be enough for Die'. Hut it wasn't, Will. I'm very human and after a little I grew hungry for the sight of you. for your voice, your smile—why Will, I could willingly have been a servant In your house —her servant—only to be near you!" "lone," he cried passionately, "lone"— but she stayed him with a glance. '' : "What f lived through that flr« year and the years that followed you will not care to hear. It Is not a pleasant story. But always the fiercest flame will burn itself out i t time—the pain spent itself. Peace came to me—the calm of the lotuseater. At first, a chance word, the casual mention of your name, brought it all back to me and made me wretched for days. But it Is not so now. The flame ha* burned Itself %b *ph«V The man's face was drawn an,d miserable. "I might have known, T might have fetfefl this." he said aully, "IReserved nothing lesitf' 1tti^dtjririor*«i» tab**w* < •«** ^wTU," she went on.

It seemed to me that If 1 might feel the touch of your lips on mine for one long moment, 1 Mhould ask nothing more of Fate." HIB eyes yearned upon her. "And, now," he whispered tensely "now?" "Now I think it would rather bore me, "she answered quietly. He caught his breath sharply. For six years he had lived tor the moment when he and this woman should meet again—and now , . . Ha rose and strode across to the. window where he stood aji instaotrvtruggling fpf control. ,, Th^p be came and stood looking- down at her, his eyes dark with palilfedifeasion. V , "Dear," he said, "surely I've been punjfhedj eAQiigh. DoWt torture me. Do**, ta*It's io$ lata." She? lilted her eye*- to his. There was ooibpaasion in them—nothing more. "Dear," he said pleadingly, "dearest!"— hut she made no sign. Then suddenly he bent and caught her to him with crushing force, preBsin*. fierce kisses on lips and brow and cheek. She did not resist. She lay passive in his embrace, utterly moveless and unrespensive. His lips grew chill; his clasp loosened. She faced him calmly—her cheek faintly flushed —but for the rest quite unmoved. "Its hopeless, dear," she said quietly, "a faint flutter of the pulses—purely physical—nothing more." He laid his face down upon his arms. "God!" he said miserably, "I couldn't have lived through those awful years If I'd dreamed of this!" She might have pitied him, but that she no long er allowed herself the luxury of emotions. "Strange. Isn't it," she said musingly, "that the things we most care for in this world come to us after we have ceased to care? Five years ago 1 would have given my life for an hour like this and now—" "Don't!" be cried sharply, "I can't bear it!" "I'm sorry, dear," she said gently. He did not lift his head. There was a little silence in the room . "Will," she went on after a little, "there Is something more. I—I am to be married soon to a man I've known fcr years. I gave him my promise soon after the death of your wife." "You knew?" he queried Bharply. "You knew that I was free, yet you did not wait, you gave me no chance—" "It would not have mattered. There was no chance." "Then you love him—thiB other man?" "If I did I should not marry him. 1 have exhausted amotion, Will. I don't live any longer—I only exist. My one prayer is that 1 may never love again. I have suffered enough. If I found 1 was beginning to care for Archie I should ask for my freedom at once." He llatened quietly—a hurt, dumb wonder growing In his eyes "As It Is" she pursued evenly "1 like, admire and respect him thoroughly. He's a fine fellow, our tastes are congenial and we're the best of com radee.i 1 think tie lovet me in bis way infinitely better than I can ever love hlm—but he will not be the loser by that. I can be far more charming to him as matters stand than if 1 worshipped him. A woman loses her power over a man the moment he knows |he lovea- him. Till then he's her slave; thereafter her master. If I loved Archie I- should be unnatural and constrained, striving always to be not myself but whatever 1 fancied he'd wiobfme to bet #«Tfrp<f^ftfook f r o D 1 him could make me - mWraole; K be KlfchC^dat auo^hor, wpautB 1 ahould suffer; the fear oi Idling hiB I6ve would constantly torture me—in short 1 ehuuld be U^ofyu^thly w r e ^ e ^ . Whereas 1 think 1 shall be quite comfortable and content Actors aay they produce their emotional effects when their own emotions are controlled. So 1 shall play my pretty wifely role all the better because my heart 1B not involved. And I shall be happy enough -as happiness goes In this wurld," "And I?" He queried bitterly. "You also, Will. You'll marry some one else in time and probably be bappier than with me. I've often thought. Will, that ir I'd married you. I might have made you very uncomfortable. A great devotion frequently baa that effect upon its object, I've observed. 1 Bhould have wearied you with my affection and worried you with exactions; we should both have suffered and probably ended by boring each other. Even if our love had proved strong enough to survive the friction of daily life, we should in the end, after months of discord and discomfort, with occasional rapturous intervals, ojnly have arrived at the point where Archie and 1 are beginning—a good comfortable camaraderie, which, after all, is the safest matrimonial basis. Good-by, dear Will. It hurts now, perhaps; but believe me, the pain will pass." "Will," she cried Impulsively, "you're so physically perfect that I wonder it doesn't touch me. 1 re* member how I used to gloat upon the beauty of your face—the type is pure Greek. Odd isn't it that I can consider it quite Impersonally now, aa I should a work of art?" He threw out his arms in a sudden, desperate gesture. "Forgive me, dear," she said gently, "1 know its bitter—but it will not last." Moved by a sudden impulse she drew the tall head down and kissed his brow. He did not try to Bpeak, but the look on his face stirred her hard-won calm. His eyes made a last wistful, dumb appeal; then he touched her hand with his lips and went away. When the outer door had closed upon him, lone drew a long breath. "A moment more," she said, "and I might have yielded. But it ia, better as it is. I've suffered enough." Wild Swamp Potatoes. The swamp potato (8olanum comer* soni), which grows wild in Uruguay, has lately been cultivated in France, when* it has produced a variety with violet tubers. The new variety is characterized by extraordinary productive^ ness, resistance to disease and trost, and the production of large aerial tubers in the axils of the leaf stalks. German potato growers, however, find the new variety so similar to the long known variety Paulson's Blue Tilant that they are inclined to think that the latter has, innocently or designedly, been exploited in France as a novelty. The same opinion is held by a prominent English potato grower. The two sorts have also been cultivated side by side at the experiment station of a Swedish society for the improvement of moors, where they .appeared to be identical in foliage, flowers and tubers. The swamp potato, however, proved less productive than the old Blue Giant, and its most strongly emphasized peculiarities^ antipathy to lime and preference for.marsh soil, could not be detected. Similar results were obtained on an experiment plantation in Silesia—Scientific American. Notes of Women. A French book on the evolution of the Englishwoman finds- the woman's club—which in England is a real club, not a body which holds monthly, meetings— an excellent institution for both married and single. For the married woman it is her "own place, where her husband cannot worry her," while for the unmarried it is a place where she need neyer be dull and where she can properly, entertain friends of both Worthy of New Citizenship '• * — — Triumph of Italian Veteran in Agricultural Colony in North Carolina.

Deposed Nicaraguan Dictator Flees to Corinto. Joee Santos Zelaya, the ex-preBldent of Nicaragua, has taken himself out of the country and is now aboard the Mexican gunboat G-eneraJ Guerrero bound for Sallna Cruz. Under the cover of darkness Thursday morning Zelaya, accompanied by a heavily armed guard, proceeded to Corinto, in which port the Mexican warship had been lying for several days, close to the United States protected cruiser Albany. Other American warships swung at anchor in the harbor, with marines aboard, lazily awaiting instructions. Zelaya's coming was unheralded, but a guard from the Guerrero received him and soon he was safe under the protection of the Mexican flag. At 5 j>'clock in the afternoon the warship weighed anchor and pointed out to sea. A salute of 13 guns was fired from the shore, and hundreds of soldiers and citizens waved1 the former dictator a farewell from the beach. POLITE EVgM HI^EmEMtTY Abundant Truth in the CUB- -J ,, ternary Formula, _ William was a little country boy who bad been reared to the age of lour by a careful grandmother of the Old school, who had paid particular attention to the chlld'B table manners. Mindful of grandma's admonitions If given at the table more of anything than he cared for, William would firmly say: "Plenty, fank you. plenty. No, tank you, 1 don't keer tor It!" alway* to the family's great amusement. But William developed on his own account an independence of conduct that required curbing, and , that at length grew BO alarming that one day, after a particularly exasperating exhibition of importance, he and his father took a walk around behind the barn, hand iu.hajad, father armed with a slender switch that was calculated to produce a good moral effect if used judiciously, and his small son sliding along with great reluctance on toes that caught at every foothold on the path. \ Then his father's voice was heard saying: "I'll teach you, sir, not to be saucy to your mother!" and swish- Bwash went the slender switch, landing with a whack-whack on William's plump anatomy. The little boy endured it in silence for a moment, and then a polite protest went up. "O, 0, plenty, plenty, papa, plenty! No—no, fank you, papa, I—I don't keer for it!" - Fines to the amount of $14,000 was assessed by Judge George F.

Jpack ,beeta and turnipa in boxes in moist sand to prevent withering. Tu raise beet and turnip seed set the* old vegetables out next spring. A handful of straw in the bole wbeo setting a tree will hold the moisture. How often do you grease that beet wagon? A well-greased wagon means a larger load of beets. The world never will know the great debt it owes to farmers who think out good things and do them. Were the roads over which you hauled your grain this fall the sort you waqj tq travel the rest of your life? Try a new variety of potato each year. In this way you will *flnd the kinds best suited to your soil and climate. If. your potatoes were scabby this year do not plant them on the same ground again next year. Get new seed also. Don't let stock tramp across a muddy beet field; the value of the beet topB is more than lost by the damage done to the field. How are the roads this year? It costs much money to draw heavy loads through mud six inches deep. Let us have better roads. The bugologists say 1910 gives promise of being a chinch bug year. They had better wait until the coming winter 1B wiped off the slate. SAND SIEVE TO CLEAN WELL Any Floating Matter Is Easily Removed by Using This Device— It Is Easily Made. (BY F. L. RlfcLEY.) It is well to make one of these devices against time of need. The dry season is the best and only time to fix and clean the farm well. Any floating matter may be removed by using an ordinary sand sieve. After marking off the rim into three parts attach a wire to any of these A Sand Sieve. parts or points and for a handle use an attached rope. Fasten the end of the rope to the third point in the rim and a weight to the sieve so it will sink after lowering. In using sink the sieve edgewise in the water, pull the rope with a single attachment, lifting out well all the floating sticks and other debris from the surface of the water. The Telephone as a Farm Help. In these days of scarcity of help n tho farm the value of the telephone is becoming more thoroughly appreciated. It does its work with lightning- like rapidity and saves hours, and even days, in times when it is most valuable. It carries messages to the town, the neighbors, and brjngs the doctor, help and aid at all hours of th3 day or night. It never gets drunk, seldom goes on a strike, and, generally speaking, is the most reliable help on the farm. The increase of farm telephones is growing rapidly every month. STORAGE OF SWEET POTATOES Husking Corn Disagreeable. There is no job more disagreeable than husking corn out of the shock. The weather is either too fine to be spoiled at such work, or too disagreeable to think of tackling such.a Job, from our viewpoint. It pays to use a shredder or grain separator on large fields. With a slough grass top, shred- £ d or threshed-fodder will not spoil A M * stacked outside. Goats Clearing Land. The farmers in the vicinity of Lawrenceburg, Ind., are having their land cleared of brush by goats. There is a herd of 40 goats that has been in the vicinity for the last five years and has changed owners ten times. As soon BH their owner discovers that there is'no brush left for the goats to feed on he sells them to another farmer for a similar purpose. Value of Grosbeaks. Among the most valuable birds to the farmer are the rose-breasted grosbeaks. One pair of such birds can in a week destroy all of the potato bugs on an acre of potato Tines, and then keep the yinaa, claap lor tfea entire Must Be Kept Absolutely Dry anal Warm, a* Slight Frost or Severe Cold Will Injure. ' (ST **• P. ORINBTBAD.) The storing of sweet potatoes lor winter la by no means sa simple a matter as- the proper care of Irish potatoes, while different methods prevail in the north and uouth. The harvesting machinery is similar except that the moat improved potato diggers are not adapted to the hatvesting of the sweet potato, since the Ylnea would interfere. The kind generally used Is the regular two-horse plow digger, with two rolling c u ^ r a t.o cut the vines on either side. . The potatoes are not Injured by lying in the nun, but should be removed to the storage room the same day they are dug. " • The essential difference in the storing of sweet potatoes and the. Irish potato arises from the fact that a 8w*et potato must be kept both dry and warm. It is a simple matter to bury Irish potatoes in a bank where they will keep ail winter, but a specially constructed storage p'ace must be made rcr the sweet potato. In the south and even as far north as Missouri they may be kept In a well-ventilated pit, which can be kept dry by covering with boards or other roofing. Select a well-drained place, scrape away sufllclent dirt to level the ground, then dig two trenches across the place from six inches to a foot deep, and the ground should lay so that water will not run into nor stand in them. Cover the trenches with pieces of boards, spread a little straw or dry Utter over the ground and pile the potatoes thereon in the shape of a cone around the ventilator flue, which consists of four pieces of four by six inch board nailed in the form of a box and set over the point where the trenches cross, extending up through the heap of potatoes and out at the top. When the heap of potatoes has been completed cover with straw or leaves, then add five or six inches of dirt or sufllclent to keep out frost Care must be taken to keep both the trenches and ventilator open till it is necessary to cover them during a severe cold spell when they are cqvered with something like an old carpet, which should be removed on days when the weather will permit. In the north, where the ground remains frozen for several months, this plan would not answer, but they may be kept in a well-ventilated cellar if kept in crates and up from the ground. Yet a cellar Is by no means the ideal place for storing sweet potatoes, the accumulation of moisture being t o great. A frost-proof building that may be kept dry is much better. Such a building should be constructed of brick or stone and lined with wood, with a dead-air space, which insures a dry wall. Where only a few are to be kept for home use no better or cheaper way can be found than to store them in barrels or boxes of dry sand or road dust and keep them in a warm room or rather in a room where they will not freeze, It Is possible, of course, to keep them too warm. Potatoes kept In dry dust and not allowed to freeze may be kept for seed with very little loss. It must be remembered that the sweet potato will surely rot if exposed to frost, even though they do not actually freeze; also that they inust be kept dry and where the air circulates freely. For best results probably a temperature of about 60 degrees, varying through a range of ten to twenty degrees, will be found best, and where the proper building may be had this temperature can be maintained easily, with a free circulation of dry air. Measuring Grain. Weight per measured bushel is not always a correct indication of the quality of grain. There are several conditions that have an influence in determining the relative proportion, Grain with a small berry will outweigh that with a larger berry, and the two, evenly mixed, will outweigh either alone. This is especially the case with peas, and a wrinkled surface will also cause a decrease In weight per bushel. In the. case of barley and oats, the presence of beards and awns, respectively, will cause a lighter weight. Proper Care of Machinery. It is estimated that about $100,000,- 000 worth of farm machinery is made and sold each year in the United States. Fully one-half of this goes into the hands of men who do not know how to select it wisely or to-keep it in proper condition. The waste which results runs into millions of dollars annually. Winter is one of the best times to apply manure to the garden. If It it put on freshly plowed ground til the batter. nr AMATEUR H Y P N Q T I 8 T MAKES A CORPSE SHOW SIGNS OF L I F E . FUNERAL PLANS STOPPED Physicians Called and Hearse la Rushed to Hospital for Instruments But Apoplexy Finally la Fatal in Strange Caw in S t Paul. S t Paul, Minn. — Mrs. Charlotta Willner, who dropped supposedly dead of apoplexy In a dentist's office and whose body was taken to an undertaker's, was pronounced alive 24 hours later by Isaac Deverman, undertaker's assistant and amateur hypnotist, who said he had brought her back to life by massaging her heart as she lay on the morgue slab and by exercising his will. The woman had been pronounced dead by two physicians and a coroner's btatement issued to that effect. Deverman proved to assembled friends of Mrs. Willner the reappearance of life by placing a mirror before the lips of the prostrate woman. Upon the glass vapor formed. Physicians were straightway summoned to the undertaking establishment, and by dint of strenuous effort for the woman's resuscitation, her lips were seen to move and mutter unintelligibly. Electrical instruments were brought from the Luther and Bethesda hospitals and applied, flushes were seen to form beneath the electrodes, but this rapidly ceased and assembled physicians announced that rigor mortis was setting in and that the woman was dead. Mrs. Willner called at the offices of Dr. A. M. Birnberg, dentist, Germania Life building, St. Paul, on a Sunday afternoon. While sitting in the dentist's office she began expostulations concerning a bill, during which she fell over apparently dead. Without informing Coroner Miller's office she was taken quietly to the undertaking rooms of Jacob Rockstruh. Information/ said to have come from Deverman, reached the coroner's office late at night, and the embalming of the woman's body was forthwith ordered stopped until an investigation could be effected. At the time for the funeral the hearse and 30 carriages were dismissed suddenly from the door of the undertaking establishment by the excited order of Mrs. Willner's friends, who had been summoned to see the signs of life. Eight doctors were summoned from all parts of the city with resuscitating apparatus, and Deverman, the Willner family not believing in his FAMILY COUGH SYRUP Cures Any Cough in Five Hours. - * * W P R E S C R I P T I O N H E R E .

Batteries were attached to the body for two hours.

Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Peuasyl vanla, Michigan, Minnesota and tnstitu tions of like rank are not represented In the season's list of deud and the critically Injured at football. Of the big teams In the country that at WeBt Poln. lost Cadet Byrne, who died of hltk hurts, and that at Annapolis saw Cr.det Wilson disabled by fractured vertebrae. Cadet Byrne received "his fatal injury when he returned to the game In a weakened condition after having been retired for a slighter hurt, says New York World. From the rolls of the fcotball dead a»d of those critically hurt it can be seen that the majority of victims came from high school teams and from amateur elevens of irregular training. We reao of one death from lung trouble due to exposure on the field, of another from overexertion and of a student of Dickinson seminary In Pennsylvania who was prostrated by strychnine taken to stimulate his heart action during a contest All these fact- support the contenticn of those unwavering advocates of the game who contend that the supreme perils of football arr chiefly for the unfit. Perhaps it is true that the direct road U a saving reform In football lies in a more rigid regard for physical fitness among players than in much tinkering with the rules. The multiplicity of flying devices leads inevitably to discussion as to the advisability of establishing rules for regulating aerial navigation. One genius has suggested that certain strata be designated as routes for certain classes of airships, though Just how these routes are to be marked or "buoyed" is not explained. But a complication difficult of adjustment, may arise If the contention of some lawyers Is correct. This is that under the common lawVwhlch cujMfefrom England \. and In turn was man code, a proj air above his he? hefc&L. coi P£ ai the old Ho- V owns tb»- no limit to g]ish-speai}ng d make a tret* no flies above identified and \ caught the flying man could be punished accordingly. All these things are conjectures, of course. Still, It Is evident that If travel by the air route shall ever become general there will be man? 9*3*1 points to be considered. It sounds like older and not better times to near of orders for the pursuit of pirates. The British ship Rowannmoorelropprled that she was attacked ty a piratical schooner in Bahaman -'water?, and the United States govern- 'me**'$MM directed that the revenue <mtte*v1*^ndom shall proceed from Oalvcejjjii tcjHhe Bahamas in search of the xmMh-M'the seas. Other cutters will JpMPt&e- Windom and, adds the dis- P«tch, "for ^he first time in many ycMte American armed vessels will for pirates." This smacks more t|k* times of the buccaneers and the ck flag with skull and crossbones ung out by failing vessels directed by skillful though wicked navigators than of the days of steam, wireless telegraphy and other modern Improvements. But a fleet of modern revenue cutters would make sbort work of any pirate craft that offered resistance. RAILROAD BOARD HOLD* IT HA* SOLE JUm$DICT10N IN DC- . MURRAOR MATTERS/ WILL CAUSE LITIGATION" :••#• - Every time that we make up our mind that there's no such thing as psrate gold buried hither and yon, something occurs to change our belief and to get us all on edge again, says Boston Herald. The recent severe storm along the coast of Yucatan Is said to have uncovered thousands of last century English and Spanish coins buried by the old pirate Lafltte, and again into our soul comes that old boyhood unrest and belief that if we started out with a proper digging outfit and a reliable map we could unearth treasure galore. When people find a pot of gold why in the name of Captain lOidd can't they keep still about ft and let us tend to our blissful knitting? Shippers Ask Commlsaion to Ignore Uniform Plan ©f National Association— Independent Order of Foresters Buy .Home at Saginaw. Through an opinion, which was rendered by the state railroad ^ ¾ sion, there is a great po«ibWty that the state will become ^ r o U e d w£J the interstate commerce commisslon in a matter which may have its final hearing in the supreme court Of tne United States. . The railroad commission has taken exception to the claim of the interstate commerce commission to have jurisdiction over demurrage. In draring the rules, the railroad conjmibstan Ignored the rulings of the interstate body and mentioned that ^ m u ^ g e rates in this state must be filed and approved only by the Michigan railroad commission. v.«irfe In its opinion the commission holo> that demurrage matters are purely local and no part of the rate can_ be determined, because they arise from conditions Incident to circumstances under which deliveries are made, and those circumstances under the con trol of the consignor or ^ s i g n e e . The railroad commission has received letter, from at least 100 sh ppcrs in various parts of the state asking that the resolutions relative to uniform demurrage be ignored. The> also ask the railroad commission to promulgate rules suited to the Michiean shippers. . "I am inclined to think that the rules we have ndop^d have ™vedthe way for a long scries y f " t legations in the supreme court of the United States." said Chairman C. L.

"Xeither this city ror Saginaw is in this movement for philanthropic purposes; We are In it for what we can cet out of It, and we believe there is no better way to get something than by helping to develop the northern counties." This was the declaration of Mayor Evans at the meeting of representatives of the northeastern counties of Michigan held in Bay City. The gathering was for the purpose of adopting a constitution for the Northeastern Michigan Development association, and some of the men representing the smaller counties of the district were inclined to object to giving the larger counties a greater representation in the affairs of the association.

The reception is always Scheduled to close at 1:30 p. m.r but Roosevelt usually stood at his post until the last citizen in the line reaching from the impressive old col' onlal portico ol the White House far down Pennsylvania avenue, had hat? an opportunity to come in.

Chilean Officers, largely naval, to iddge from their rather resplendent uniforms, occupied this second table, arid It was evident that they had been drinking tb excess. It Was their loud voices and boisterous laughter Which first, attracted my attention, and 1 soon caught sufficient of their incautious speech to discover they were bantering one among their number to carry into execution a tipsy boast he had Just made over the wine. The special officer thus singled out as butt for the boisterous wit of his reckless companions was a naval lieutenant, a rather tall, cadaverous fellow, sallow ..faced, bis short black hair standing erect and bristling, his mustaches drooping so as to shade the corners of his mouth. His cheeks were flushed with temper from the rough sallies" at his expense, and his-lips uttered a burning Castlllan curse, as he arose somewhat unsteadily to his feef, and glared about into the expectant faces of his laughing tormentors. "Sacro Crlstoi you will *ee,.camaradas; you will see!" he declared, bracing himself for the effort. "Caramba! what sailor fears In presence of beauty?— pa/! not 1." He turned short about, his sword chains rattling, and strode directly across toward the unconscious Briton, who stared up at him over his roast beef In petrified astonishment. Fumbling awkwardly at his belt, the inirudlng officer finally brought forth a card, and placed it ostentatiously upon (he table, bowing low as, he did so. "I would myself to introduce to the tenor," he announced with drunken" gravity, and in amazingly broken English. "I Teniente Lootenant Sanchez, Chilean nary; one of the flrrst family in this country* Maybe you know me, hey? I was with de Almlrante Cochrane, when the capltano call on you In the teetle ship. Now I would the bettar-r acq'alntance make with the' gr-reat Ingles, an' the ladles, the most boot'ful ladies," and his sunken eyes rested gloatingly on the surprised face of the girl, who bad half turned, the better to observe him. It was all so swiftly, so Impudently done that the astounded Briton could only stare, his lean face reddening with annoyance-. This hesitancy, as well as something in the constrained attitude of the younger woman, emed to encourage Sanchez; his exesslon changed to a satisfied smile, hile his lank figure bent In another eremonlous bow, this time directed ward her, *Ah, I knew it vould so be," he said.

He was far too drunk for feaiv .besides, being upheld by A military contempt for civil ians. "Pah! 'tis a pig of a papa," he sput tered, half turning to witness the approval of his laughing companions behind, "But the smile of beauty still invites, sad-Juan Sanches fears not before man or devil." . * ent had taken the slightest interest in the affair, with the exception of the small party of Chilean officers who were laughing uproariously over their wine, and the girl's gray eyes, now almost black from excitement, came back to her persecutor. "The dance on the warship, aenorlta," he insisted, "the gran' dance of my country; it will please you mucho Dlos! w'at care we for papa?" She perceived me plainly now, leaning forward Just outside the window directly behind the fellow's back. 1 know not what message of encouragement she may have read in my face, but into her eyes there Instantly swept a mute, passionate appeal.

"Besides,, senor, that happens tn be my dinner coming yonder, aod 1 prefer eating it undisturbed. Yon either go down those stairs quietly at once, or Til. kick yon down." I wan obliged to smile while watching him back away. -Beyond question the fellow was an arrant coward and bully; yet sufficiently angry and outraged to have fought gladly, if only opportunity served. 1 followed him to the bend of the stairs, watching him closely while he descended, cursing fiercely to himself at every step until he finally vanished into the blackness below. The chances were strong that 1 should bear from" him later, but in the meantime my interest veered to the excellent dinner being served. The lieutenant would have his turn, and, perchance, bring me swift release from all my troubles on the morrow. The English party still remained at their table, lingering over the dessert, hut I noticed that conversation had lapsed, and precious little eating was being done. Evidently only the requirements of good form held them to their places, the elderly gentleman especially denoting his nervousness by continual side-glances about the long room. I overheard him mutter something indiBtinctly regarding having l e f t h i s * pistol upstairs, and it was plainly apparent he felt thoroughly ashamed of his late passlveness under Insult. Madame was flushed and uneasy, angry still over the episode, and greatly inclined to sputter now that all'real danger had passed; but the younger woman merely toyed with her spoon in silence, her eyes downcast, her cheeks devoid of their previous color. She made a fair picture, the brilliant light overhead flooding her dark hair, and it was not in young human nature to refrain from gazing at her through the invitingly open win dow. Finally, they all pushed back their chairs to retire, and, as she glanced up while rising to her feet, our eyes met fairly, and a warm wavt> the age where be can safely - measure aire**** withv rnfllaalanf. it U not lack of ooarege; t*fiarr*& *4&*>&f i /s open wmaow, aau with extended hand.

I was upon my feet instantly, bowt reel- "Make the Slightest Uproar and I'll Hoist You Over the Railing." fraction of o moment I hesitated, feeling convinced that any action on my part would only serve to hasten my own fate. Yet it was not In my nature to hold back. Half rising, and bending forward, I reached through the open window, twisted my fingers into the fellow's coat eollar, end the next Instant he was lying flat upon bis back on the balcony floor, nothing remaining to show his recent presence in the dining hall except an overturned chair. It was rather smartly, prettily done, the astounded lieutenant possessing neither wind nor opportunity for the slightest outcry, and once wlthput, 1 promptly throttled him, meanwhile muttering a few Important admonitions into his ear in well-selected Spanish. "Lie still there, you drunken idiot. Make another attempt to bite me, and I'll pound your head on these stones. Bah! save your threats, senor, and if you make the slightest uproar I'll hoist you over the railing yonder, and It's 30 feet to the pavement below. Now stand up! Do you see this, senor?" and I pressed the cold muzzle of a revolver against his swarthy cheek "Oh, you do! Well, you probably know also bow It works, Now listen to me—there are stairs at that corner yonder; you R& down them quietly and disappear—disappear; do you understand that? If you dare return to that dining room to-night, or attempt again to address that young woman, 1 am going to klU you, senor." My voice was cold and low, but it carried weight Panting still from the fierce choking, bis eyes hot with anget his lips trembling, he endeavored to speak.

"I did no more than any man would consider a privilege. I realized you had no younger protector at hand." She glanced around toward the others of her party, now also upon their feet, and gazing out af us in undisguised amazement. "No," she explains, as though in unwilling apology; "he has passed the "A time of life which must come to all of u*/* 1 return**; nftftDy, "thd prudeuee is not n e w f w i f t disgrace.

"Permit me, senor; and we shall feel greatly honored to receive you at any time on board our yacht in the harbor. The length of our stay at this post is uncertain, yet we shall surely remain for several days.

Two pages will suffice." The remark brings one to consider the use of literature as a soporific—a chapter which is generally left unwritten in the critical histories of the value of literature. There is, let it be said at once, no absolute standard. We have heard of a rising young barrister who always reads Gibbon to put him to sleep; he calculates that the eight volumes Will last 30 years, and then, if he is not lord chancellor, he will start again, on the presumption that he has perhaps forgotten the wording of one of the footnotes In the first chapter or so. Another sufferer finds no help in the ordinary novel—the very ordinary novel—of to-day; he prefers to get away from literature altogether, to read statistics, or to play Imaginary Patience—an excellent device. But on the whole, we fancy that few would fly to Dickens for a bedbook; the literary soporific, par exseUence. is rather in the dull, long and prosy biography of some great and good man,.who always did what lie eught to have done, fxom the time he marched off merrily to school as a he died, having made a more or less virtuous pile. These are the things, we confess, which send us to sleep, although they are almost amusing if read backwards. It is like looking through a telescope the wrong end, and seeing the hero of commerce, the glorious merchant prince, become gradually smaller till he fades alto geilUT. Fools. What do you suppose fools were made for? That you might tread upon them, and starve them, and get the better of them in every possible way? By no means.

WINTER Q0VERINQ FOR BEES Simple Method of Protecting the Busy Little rHOne^ Gatherer During Severe Weather. The Illustration shown herewith shows a simple method of covering hives of bees for the winter, says American Agriculturist. First having determined the amount of stores the colony has by lifting the hive to Bee if it is heavy, newspapers are spread across the top and down the front, back and sides, each layer being fastened lightly with taofcB to prevent their falling off. When ah inch be so of papers have been thus placed and tied "around the middle, as shown in the lower drawing, a large sheet of tarred paper is folded and tied ardund the hive, as shown ih the upper draw* far be- Hive Covering for Winter. ing. Tying thus is likely to be more satisfactory than tacking, cause there is less dangerof the paper being torn- off. It is desirable to use the usual quilt or the chaff pillow above the frames. Maintenance of Soil Fertility. In the case of crops grown continuously on the same land the Ohio experiment station reports a rapid falling off In yield during recent years on unfertilised land. There has been a slight increase in yield on similar land, when the same crops have been grown in rotation with each other and with clover. A given quality of mantire or fertilizer, moreover, has produced a smaller increase on crops grown continuously than on those grown in rotation. Waste of Fertility. Whenever one is taking a drive over the-country roads it is a great eyesore to note the awful waste of fertility around a good many barns. Often small drains are leading from the barn to a nearby creek, which is colored by manure water. If the owner of such places could only be made to realise the waste, they would not be long putting in good cement floors and keeping all manure under cover until, run from rafter to rafter. Thia fn< it could be hauled to field, where i t ' s u r e s safety from birds, mice and rats; is so badly needed for feeding the there hi sufficient ventilation, and the growing cropa.

The Short ot It; - The Work bf hauling out manure is sb long and tedious when performed ih the old way that I found it difficult to get hired men to do this, and it was always a matter of controversy as to who should perform it. I bought a manure spreader, and since then have had little difficulty. The work of distributing the manure is easy, and I find it much more effectively done than by hand. I usually have from 100 to 300 loads to be spread every year, says a writer in Baltimore Amer» lean.

The help of bacteria in securing nitrogen from the soil for such crops as clover> beans and peas has been known ftir many years and has become an important factor in planning crop rotations. It has long been suspected that other crops are also aided in some extent by the germs in the soil and if, as Borne scientists think, the lot! can be inoculated to help growth of wheat, fruit and vegetables, we shall have one of the most important discoveries made in recent years, tt la claimed by English experimenters that by watering the roots or seeds (tf tomatoes, Btrawberries and corn *he bacteria solution has increased their growth by something like one-third and at the same time the maturity* is hastened, thus secttring,a lar$e crop and an. early one that sells for high pHces. Many farmers have the tanks where their milk is kept arranged so that all the water pumped for the stock runs through the milk tank and is carried to the stock tank by an overflow pipe: This arrangement is excellent, but can be improved upon in many cases hy' having a pipe at the bottom of the milk tank so~ that, it can easily be emptied and cleaned occasionally. Never leave sections of surplus honey in the hives over winter. If you do It will surely spoil and be fit only for feeding purposes. Honey, either comb or extracted, if properly taken care of, improves with age. Crop Rotation. In the five-year rotation of corn, oats, wheat, clover and timothy, jt unfertHized yield of corn has rem practically stationary throughou IB years of a test at the Ohio ex ment station. That of oats has slightly larger during the last five jrears than previously and that of wheat decidedly larger. This gain in wheat yield is chiefly due to greater immunity to Insect attack during the latter period. The average Increase per acre in all the cereal crops has been very much greater during the latter period than formerly, due to tbe cumulative effect on the fertilizers and manure. n r- \ 8toring Seed Corn. Usually, the attic is the most convenient seed-corn storage room available on the farm. It is certainly one of the most ideal places to be found anywhere.

Asked what be could do, Charles Schmidt (this 1« the wizard's name), aaid that he had done a Hitle carpentering. He was hired at %XM a day aa a helper. _ *eaudetbB had several houses,. In process of construction and Schmidt was assigned td one of the carpentering crews. He went to.work as one of the ordinary laborers and gave perfect satisfaction, although he did not claim to be an expert workman. One day, several weeks after he bad gone to work, Schmidt was on the .top floor of. one of the new houses. A carpenter who was at work near him, in trying to pull a spike with his hammer, broke off the bead. The spike was driven two-thirds its length into a heavy beam. The carpenter tried every way to pull the spike out and failed. Schmidt, noticing his fellow workman's predicament, came over. "What's the trouble?" he asked. "Cant yoa pull It out?" "No," said the workman, "nor any one else." "That's eaBy," said Schmidt, and getting down on his hands and knees, he seized the spike in his teeth, humped up his back and gave a tug. Out came the spika This was the first time, according to Schmidt, that he ever exercised this power outside of his own house. The carpenter, - dumfounded, rushed downstairs with'MB story. To prove that the other man was not stretching the truth Schmidt had to do it again. At once he was the hero of the job. For the amusement of his fellow workmen Schmidt pulled spikes with his teeth. He bit them in halves. Every kind of test was invented to try his ability. So far. although these tests have continued almost daily.

Swinging It over his head the carpenter brought -the sledge down with a bang that sent sparks flying; Such was the force- of the impact that the rock split and fell with a crash to the floor in two pieces, Schmidt apparently none the worse, went back to work with the rest of the man.

It's an old trick of the leaders of the Labor Trust to twist facta and make the "sympathetic ones" "weep at the ice house." (That's part of the tale further on.) Gompers et al sneer at, spit upon and defy our courts, seeking sympathy by falsely telling the people the courts wjere trying to deprive them of free 3peech and free press. Men can speak freely and print opinions freely in this country and no court will object, but they cannot,be allowed to print matter as part of a criminal conspiracy to Injure and ruin other citizens.. '" • * Gompers and his trust associates started out to ruin the Bucks Stove Co., drive its hundreds of-workmen Dut of work and destroy the'value of tfie plant without regard to the fact that nard earned money of men who worked, had been Invested there. The conspirators were told by the courts to stop these vicious "trust" methods, (efforts to break the firm that won't come under trust rule), but Instead of stopping they "dare" the courts to punish them and demand new laws to protect them in such 4°" atructive and tyrannical acts as thgy may desire to" do. * * * The reason Sompetsand his band persisted in trying to ruin the Bucks Stove Works was because the' stove company insisted on the right to keep some old employees at work when "de union" ordered them discharged and some of "de gang" put on. Now let us reverse the conditions and have a look. Suppose the company had ordered the union to dismiss certain men from their union, and, the demand being refused, should institute a boycott against that union, publish its name in an "unfair list," instruct other manufacturers all over the United States not to buy the labor of that union, have committees call at stores and threaten to boycott if the merchants sold anything made by that union. Picket the factories where members work and slug them on the way home, blow up their houses and wreck the works, and even murder a few members of the boycotted union to teach tuem they must obey the orders of "organized Capital?" " It would certainly be fair for the company to do these things if lawful forthe Labor Trust "to do them. Thsuch a case, under our laws the boycotted union could apply to our courts and the courts would order the company to cease boycotting and tryins to ruin these union men. Suppose thereupon the company should Bneer at the court and in open defiance continue the unlawful acts in a persistent, carefully laid out plan, purposely intended to ruin the union and force its members into poverty What a howl would go up from the union demanding that the courts protect them and punish their law-breaking oppressors. Then they would praise the courts and go on earning a living protected from ruin and happy in the knowledge that the people's courts could defend them. How could any of us receive protection from law-breakers unless the courts have power to, and do punish such men? The court is placed In position where It must do one thing or the o t h e r - punish men who persist In defying its peace orders or go out of service, let snarchy reign, and the more powerful destroy the weaker. Peaceful citizens sustain the courts as their defenders, whereas thieves, forgers, burglars, crooks of all kinds and violent members of labor unions, hate them and threaten violence if their members are punished for breaking the law. They want the courts to let them go free and at the same time demand punishment forothermen "outside de union" when they break the law. * • • Notice the above reference to "violent" members of labor unions.

Said methods have consequences which are abhorrent to the law-abidinepeonle. of Canada involving hunger, iofserjr; riot;1 bloodshed and mtfrder, all of Which might'be termed as a result of the practical war now in progress in our fair proviieee and directed by foreign emissaries of the United Miners of America.*' That is an honest Canadian view of our infamous "Labor Trust."

Mr, Burns expressed his confidence In courts in general and In those of the District of Columbia In particular. APPROVED BY DELEGATES. This rebuke by Bums was in his annual report to the general assembly of his organization. He received the hearty approval of the delegates who heard It read at their annual meeting in this city. "There is no trust or combination of capital in the world," said Mr. Burns, "that violates laws of tener than do. the trust labor organizations, which resort to more dishonest, unfair and dishonorable methods toward their- competitors than any trust or combinations in the country." Mr. Burns said the action of "these so-called leaders" would be harmful for Vear8 to' come whenever attempts were made to obtain labor legislation. "The Labor Digest," a reputable workingman'a paper, says, as part of an article entitled "The beginning of the end of Gompersism, many organizations becoming tired of the rule-or* ruin policies which have been en-, forced by the president of tae A P. of L." • • *r_r^£. * »,,-.- a * 'That he bait maintain*! ate leadership for so-iio»g^ time in the. face of his stubborn clinging to policies which the more thoughtful wortfngmeottave seen foryears must be abasdMtettfnas been on account partly of the sentimental feeling on the part '4 the organizations that he ought not to be deposed, and the unwillingness of the men who were mentioned for the place, to accept a nomination in opposition to him. In addition to this, there is no denying the shrewdness of the leader of the A. F. of L., and his political sagacity, which has enabled him to keep a firm grip on the machinery of the or- . ganization, and to have his faithful henchmen in the position where they could-do him the most good whenever their services might be needed^, » "Pnttker than 4Msv* aft has aerer failed, at the last conventions, to have some aenaatton to spring on the convention at the'npayofcoletleat moment^ which would plaee hrm in the Tight 6f * martyr te the; eaoae^of 'jfMaivla^ittd i i « h see if the object lesson'whicb they have been forced to give to these Madera is going to be recognised andi&tstoy are going to conform themselves-aaA their future" work and action* i s accordance thereto." / J Let the people remember that ment, "The Federation of Labor In ticular stands before the bar ofopinion having been convicted of selfishness and a disposition to rvuevaH the people of the country In the Interest of the few." .^ The great 90 per cent of AmerlcgM do not take kindly to the act*,,of tyranny of these trust leaders opgftly demanding that all people bow dow» to the rules of the Labor Trust aid we are treated to the humiliating spetHacle of our Congress and even the Chief oeervteted thoonsldmanda tJsat ,ed to.allow their plan of affairs of eh* Executive enterta law-breakers and eration to their the th« ga|ejBW*JlBjBYi ° v e r P workers of America come to know the truth about t "martyrs sacrificing themselves in noble cause of labor" hut it's onl hysterical ones who swell up and^^ajflftover the aforesaid "heroes," reminding one of the two romantic elderly maids who, weeping copiously, were discovered by the old janitor at Mt. Vernon. "What is It ails you ladles?" Taking the handkerchief from one swollen red eye, betweeasobs she said: "Why we have so long revered the memory of George Washington that we feel it a privilege to come here andweep at his tomb.' "Yas'm, yas*m,.yo' shore has a desire to express yo' sympathy hut yo* excite a wave of sympathetic enthusiasm for him, which would carry the delegates off their feet, and result in his re-election. "That his long leadership, and this apparent Impossibility to fill his place has gone to his head, and made him imagine that he is much greater a man than he really Is, to undoubtedly the .case, and. accounts for the tactics he has adopted In dealing with questions before congress, where he has unnecessarily antagonized men to whom organized labor m,ust> look for recognition of their demand^ and where labor measures are often opposed on account of this very antagonism, which would otherwise receive support. "There Is no doubt but what organized labor in this country would be much stronger with a leader who was more in touch with conditions as they actually exist, and who would bring to the front the new policies which iaed labor must adopt if it e even maintain its present st; say nothing of making.future pr We quote portions of another a reprint, from the same labor paper: "Organized labor, through its leaders, must recognize the mistakes of the past if they expect to perpetuate their organizations or to develop the movement which they head. No movement, no organization, no nation can develop beyond the intellects which guide these organizations, and if the leaders are dominated by a selfish motive the organization will become tinged with a spirit of selfishness, which has never appealed to mankind in any walk of life at any time since history began. "It can be said in extenuation of certain leaders of organized labor that the precarious position which they occupy as leaders has had a tendency to cause them to lose sight of the object behind the organization. The natural instinct in man for power and position Is in no small measure responsible for the mistakes of the leaders, not necessarily in labor unions alone, but in every branch of Bociety. This desire for power and leadership and personal aggrandizement causes men who have been earnest and sincere In their efforts In the start to deteriorate into mere politicians whose every act and utterance is tinged with the desire to eater to the baser passions of the working majority in the societies or organisations and this is undoubtedly true when applied to tue present leaders of the Federation of Labor. We mention the Federation of Labor particularly in this article, because that organization is the only organization of labor .which has yet found itself in direct' opposition' to the Isws 'of the land. There are other organizations of labor whose leaders have made mistakes, but they have always kept themselves and their organizations within the bounds of the law and respected the rights of every other man in considering the rights of themselves and their constituency; whereas, the motto of the Federation is just the reverse, and unless the leaders conform themselves and their organization In accordance with the laws of the land, the leaders and the organization itself must be disintegrated.^ and pass Into sense of'tnaitthd is developed to a greater extent than in any other nation on the earth, and the people, wop axe the court of last resort in this country, will never allow any system to develop in thfs country which does not meet with the approval of the majority of the citizens of the country. ''This must have forced itself upon the leaders of the Federation by this time. If it has not, the leaders must be eliminated. The organisation which they head ha* done many meritorious things in times past and the people are always jeady .and willing to acknowledge the benefits which their efforts have brouftat to then* constituency as « whole, but at the present time labor e m f f i r o t lAb3TOtpSt3cufer, rfahd Trust or anyotber trust e s S f f l f i r W K before the bar of public opinion, hav- ahod over p'-ople and. fog been convicted of selfishness end a to.ptevent ourj disposition t o . rule all the peopiet of protect**?* v the country in, >he interest of .the few.

The incident was forgotten by t' * railroad officials, and the system went on working with the precision of n steam engine. The A.

It was consequently Independent and thriving. for it was essential to both its feeders. Suddenly the stock began to not like the float of a fish line, indicating that something was going on below the surface. Then the price commenced to fluctuate. Now It would sink gradually, then suddenly jump up several points. These fluctuations continued for several months, then A D. and P. stock ceased to attract any attention whatever. On the first Wednesday in January occurred the annual meeting of the directors. The officers were waiting for the formalities to be disposed of before settling down to their work and tbelr salaries for another term. Suddenly word was flashed through the building aa if by telegraph that a block of stock amounting to fifty-five hundredths of the whole had been voted, changing a majority of the directors. IJvery man rushed to the room where the meeting was in session. The door stood open. and in the excitement of the moment an crowded in. A little man shuffled past them and, standing beside the long table around which the directors were seated, thus addressed them: "Gentlemea, I hold a majority of the stock of this road and therefore am in control."

With a view to providing the necessary ransom to secure their release it became customary before embarking to pay an agreed premium to certain individuals called underwriters who were witting to guarantee payment of the ransom in the event of the merchant being captured. From this beginning the practice was gradually extended to Insuring the lives, first of mariners and then of other persons.

The total of the three crop* is placed ^ more by 115,000,000 t .an in any previous year in its history, and obviously tbat is a showing to be proud of. But singularly enough along with this proud showing the census bureau comes forward with the depressing information that the baby crop In Kansas has fallen off In the same- year, says Manchester Union. There were 25,980 babies born in Kansas in the fiscal year 1907, and only 23,850 in the fiscal year 1908. Of course the first question that presents Itself is what the fiscal future of a year has to do with such a matter anyway. Tet It is obvious that one must start from somewhere In such computations, and perhaps the beginning and end of the fiscal year are as good point* as any. The thought that is sure to suggest itself is, were the Kansas farmers so busy planting their big crops of wheat, corn and oats that they overlooked the graver problem of population? I'll* w • s vl?i. ti * ' •Urn m • w ^ > > t f M ' i ' i )>"iS'i »>""' ' »"%* The cerulean "sky-piece" has made its jaunty appearance in our midst. Time was when a man attired himself only in sober hues, as befitted his dig: r»ity and importance, says Washington Herald. No frivolous frolicking in fanciful garb appealed to the masculine taste. A strong reaction from the days of silken hose and brocaded, gold-laced coats and small clothes swayed the balance in favor of Puritanical and Quakerish garb of the past two generations. But man is becoming emancipated from his somber thraldom; not all at once, but gradually, as Is usually the case with great and important reforms. The necktie has long since succeeded to the inevitable, and its flamboyant brilliancy now shames the rainbow and the peacock. Masculine hosiery, too, has assumed the colors of the spectrum in weird and wonderful design. In hats we have passed the quiet black, brbwn and gray stage, apparently. The lurid college hatband was only the forerunner of the solid green hat which burst upon a startled public a year or so ago. It was a modest shade of green, to be sure, but green for all that. If a man doeBn't love his work, he would better get something else to do. Put the trouble Is that such people will hardly love any kind of work. The tiouble Is in them. They lack intelligence. If they knew enough to know good work they would soon learn to love It. The manual training scheme has this in view—to surround the job a man is doing with such Intelligence and taste as will make it attractive to him. "The man who is in love with his job gets more contentment out of life than any other," Bays Brander Matthews; and he gets a great part of his contentment In doing his work right. No man can love his work* who sh'rks. No man can he contented who is dishonest about his work. This is shirking or doing It negligently. So these things always go together—honest work, contentment and love of the job. The Farmers' National congress, In session at Raleigh. N.

WANTS NEW COURT CREATED Tribunal Would.. Hear Cases Arising Under the Interstate Law—Chief Executive Also Urges Federal Incorporation Statute to Suppress Abuses and Not to Destroy Legitimate Combinations of Capital. KyuuruM AUUWHiCMOn* <>T te rata*, far** »na charasa itton of jpaAaengef* and they may agree to eatab* Washington, Jan. ".—Needed legislation concerning the interstate commerce law and the control of trusts formed the subject of President Taft's spevtal message to congress. The president ta.Ua attention to the partial failure of the present commerce law to get results because of the frequent appeals from its decisions to federal courts and the slowness of the supreme court in deciding these eases. The message says: —- "It would not be proper to attempt to deprive any corporation of the right to tho review Dy a court of any order or decree which, if undisturbed, would rob it of a reasonable return upon Its Investment or would subject It to burdens which" would unjustly discriminate against it and in favor of other carriers similarly situated. What is, however, of supreme importance is that the decision of such Questions shall be as speedy as the nature of the circumstances will admit, and-that a uniformity of decision be secured so as to bring about an effective, systematic and scientific enforcement of the comerce law, rather than conflicting decisions and uncertainty of final result. » Recommends "Court of Commerce." "For this purpose I recommend the establishment of a court of the United States composed of five judges designated for such purpose from among the circuit Judges of the United States, to be known as the 'United States court of commerce,' which court shall be clothed with exclusive original Jurisdiction over the following classes of cases: "(1) All cases for the enforcement, otherwise than by ajudication and collection, of a forfeiture or penalty, or by infliction of criminal punishment, of any order of the interstate commerce commission other than for the payment of money. "(2) All cases brought to enjoin, set aside, annul or suspend any order or requirement of the interstate commerce commission. "(3) All such cases as under section 3 of the act of February 19, 1R03, known as the 'F.lktns act.' arc authorized to be maintained In a circuit court of the United States. "(4) All such mandamus proceedings as under the provisions of section 20 or section 23 of the Interstate commerce law are authorized to he maintained In a circuit court of the United States. "Reasons precisely analogous to those which induced the congress to create the court of customs appeals by the provisions In tho tariff act of August f», 1909, may be urged in support of the creation of the commerce court. "In order to provide a sufficient number of judges to enable this court to be constituted It will be necessary to authorize the appointment of five additional circuit judges, who, for the purposes of appointment, might be distributed to those circuits where there Is at the present time the largest volume of business such as the second, third, fourth, seventh and eighth circuits. The act should empower trio chief justice at any time when the business of the court of commerce does not require the services of all the judges to reassign the Judges designated to that court to the circuits to which they respectively belong; and it should alsii provide for payment to such Judges while sitting hy assignment In the court of commerce of such additional amount as Is necessary to bring their annual compensation up to 110,000. Only Second to Supreme Court. "The regular sessions of such court should be held at the capitol, hut it should be empowered to hold sessions in different parts of the United States if found deslrRble; and its orders and judgments should be made final, subject only to review by the supreme court of the United States, with the provision that the operation of the decree appealed from shall not be stayed unless the supreme court shall so order. The commerce court should be empowered in its discretion to restrain or suspend the operation of an order of the Interstate commerce commission under review pending the final hearing and determination of the proceeding, but no such restraining order should be made except upon notice and afetr hearing, unless in cases where irreparable damage wnuM otherwise ensue to the petitioner. A Judge of that court might be empowered to allow a stay of the commission's order for a period of not. more than 60 days, but pending application to the court of its order or injunction, then only where his order shall contain a specific finding based upon evidence submitted to the judge making the order and identified by reference thereto that much irreparable damage would re a, ture of the damage." "Under the existing law the Interstate commerce commission itself initiates and defends litigation in the courts for the enforcement, or in the defense of its orders and decrees, and for th's purpose it employs attorneys, who, while subject to the control of the attorney general, act upon the Initiative and under the Instructions of the. commission. This blending of administrative, legislative and Judicial functions tends, in my opinion, to Impair the efficiency of the commission by clothing it with partisan characteristics and robbing It of the impartial Judicial attitude it should occupy in passing upon questions submitted to it. In my. opinion all litigation affecting the government should be under the direct control of the department of justice; and T therefore rer.ommend that all proceedi n g affecting rmlers and decrees of the Interstate commerce commission be bronpht hy or against the UnitPd States en nomine, and be placed in charge of an assistant attorney general acting under the direction of the attorney general." Would Permit Agreement!. Coming to the subject of railroad pools and traffic agreements, the president say*: "The Republican platform of MW8 expressed the belief that the Interstate commerce law should be further amended so as to give the railroads the right to make any puhllc traffic agreement* subject to the approval of the commission, but maintaining always the principle of competition between naturally competing lines, and avoiding the common control of ettoh lines by any means the public, and especially the business whatsoever.

The president continues: "I believe these suggested modifications in and amendments to the Interstate commerce act would make It a complete and effective measure for securing reasonableness of rates and fairness ol practices in the operation of interstate railroad lines, without undue preference to any individual or class over any others. "By my direction the attorney general has drafted a bill to carry out these recommendations, which will be furnished upon request to the appropriate committee whenever It may be desired. "In addition to the foregoing amendments of the interstate commerce law, the Interstate commerce commission should be given the power, after a hearlrig, to determine upon the uniform construction of these appliances—such as sill steps, ladders, roof hand holds, running boards and hand brakes on freight cars engaged In Interstate commerce—used by the trainmen in the operation of trains,, the defects and luck of uniformity In which are apt to produce accidents and injuries to railway trainmen. The wonderful reforms effected In the number of switchmen and trainmen injured by coupling accidents, due to the enforced Introduction of safety couplers, Is u demonstration of what can be done If railroads are compelled to adopt proper safety appliances. "The question has arisen in the operations of the Interstate commerce employers' liability act, as to whether suit can be brought against the employer company in any place other than that of its home office. The right to bring the suit under this act should be as easy of enforcement as the right of a private person not in the company's employ to sue on an ordinary claim, and process In each suit should be sufficiently served if upon the station agent of the company upon whom service is authorised Is made, to bond the company in ordinary actions arising under state laws. Bills for both the foregoing purposes have been considered by the house of representatives and have been passed, and are now before the interstate commerce committee of the senate, I earnestly urge that they be enacted Into law." Control of the Trust*. The second part of the message is devoted to the control of trusts. After a lengthy discussion of trusts, good and bad, and the success of prosecutions under the Sherman anti-trust act, Mr. Taft says: "It is the duty and purpose of the executive to direct an investigation by the department of Justice, through the grand jury or otherwise, Into the history, organization, and purposes of all the industrial companies with respect to which there is any reasonable ground for suspicion that they have been organized for a purpose, and are conducting business on a plan which is In violation of the anti-trust law. The work is a heavy one, but it is not beyond the power of the department of justice, If sufficient funds are furnished, to carry on the investigations and to pay the counsel engaged in the work. But such an investigation and possible prosecution of corporations whose prosperity or destruction affects the comfort not only of stockholders but millions of wage earners, employes, and associated tradesmen must necessarily tend to disturb the confidence of the business community, to dry up the now flowing sources "of capital from Its places of hoarding, and produce a halt in our present prosperity that will cause suffering and strained circumstances among the Innocent many for faults of the guilty few. The question which I wish In this message to bring clearly to the consideration and decision of the congress whether to avoid business danger something cannot be done by which these business combinations may be offered a means, without great financial disturbance, of changing the character, organization and extent of their business into one within the lines of the law under federal control and supervision, securing compliance with the anti-trust statutes. For Government Control. "Generally, In the industrial combinations called 'trusts,' the principal business Is the sale of goods In many states and in foreign markets; in other words. the interstate and foreign • business far exceeds the business done in any one state. This fact will Justify the federal government in granting a federal charter to such a combination to make and sell in Interstate and foreign commerce the products of useful manufacture under such limitations as will secure a compliance with the anti-trust law. It Is possible so to frame a statute that while it offers protection to a federal company against harmful, vexatious and unnecessary invasion by the states, • courses before them it shall subject it to reasonable taxation and control by the states, with respect to its purely local business. "Many people conducting great businesses have cherished a hope and a belief that In some way or other a Una may be drawn between 'good trusts' and 'bad trusts,' and that it is possible by amendment to the anti-trust law to make a distinction under which good combinations may be permitted to organise, suppress competition, control prices, and oo it all legally if only they do not abuse the power by taking too great profit out of the business. They point with force to certain notorious trusts as having grown into power through criminal methods by the use of illegal rebates and plain cheating, and by various acts utterly violative of business honesty or morality, and urge the establishment of some legal line of separation by which 'criminal trusts' of this kind can be punished, and they, on the other hand, be permitted under the law to carry on their business.

"X therefore recommend the enaotmeat by oongreas of a general law providing 'for the formation of corporation* to engage in trade and commerce amoftTta* state* and with foreign nation*, protecting them from undue Interference by the stata* and regulating their activities so a* to prevent the recurrence, under national auspKes, of those abuses which have arisen under state control. «uch a law should provide for-the issue of stock of such corporation** to an amount equal only to the cash paid In oa the stock; a i d if the stock be issued for property, then at a fair valuation aacertajned under approval and supervision of federal authority after a full and complete disclosure of all the facta pertaining to the value of such property and the interest therein of the person* to whom it I* proposed to issue stock in payment of such property. It should subject the real and personal property only of such corporations to the same taxation a* imposed by the states within which it may be situated upon other similar property located therein, and it should require such corporation* to file full and complete reports of their operations with th* department of commerce and labor at regular Intervals. Corporations organised under this act should be prohibited from acquiring and holding stock In other corporations (except for special reasons upon approval by the proper federal authority), thus avoiding the creation, under national auspices, of the holding company with subordinate corporations in different state* which has been such an effective agency In the creation of the great trusts and monopolies. State Laws Conflict "If the prohibition of the anti-trust act against combinations in restraint of trade is to be effectively enforced, It is essential that the national government shall provide for the creation of national corporations to carry on a legitimate business throughout the United States. The conflicting laws of the different state* of the union with respect to foreign corporations make It difficult, if not Impossible, for one corporation to comply with their requirements so a* to carry on business in a number of different states. "To the suggestion that this proposal of federal incorporation* for industrial combinations is Intended to furnish them a refuge in which' to continue industrial business under federal protection. It should be said that the measure contenw plated does not repeal the Sherman antitrust law and is not to be framed so a* to permit the doing of the wrongs which it is the purpose of that law to prevent? but only to foster a continuance and ad-* vance of the highest Industrial efficiency without permitting industrial abuse*. "Such a national Incorporation law will be opposed, first, by those who believe that trusts Bhould be completely broken up and their property destroyed. It will be opposed, second, by those who doubt the constitutionality of such federal incorporation and even if It is valid, object to it as too great federal centralisation. It will be opposed, third, by those who will Insist that a mere voluntary Incorporation- like this will not attract to It* assistance the worst of the offenders against the anti-trust statute and who will therefore propose Instead of It a system of compulsory licenses for all federal corporations engaged In interstate business. "Let us consider these objections In their order. The government Is now trying to dissolve some of these combinations and It Is not the intention of the ?government to desist in the least degree n its effort to end these combinations which are to-day monopolising the commerce of this country; that where it appears that the acquisition and concentration of property go to the extent of creating a monopoly of substantially and directly restraining Interstate commerce, it Is not the Intention of the government to permit this monopoly to exist under federal incorporation or to transfer to the protecting wing of the federal governmea. of a state corporation now violating the Sherman act. But it is not, and should not be. the policy of the government to prevent reasonable concentration of capital which Is necessary to the economic development of manufacture, trade and commerce. . . . May Doubt Constitutionality. "Second—There are those who doubt the constitutionality of such federal Incorporation. The regulation of Interstate and foreign commerce is certainly conferred in the fullest measure upon congress, and if for the purpose of securing in the most thorough manner that kind of regulation, congress shall insist that it may provide and authorise agencies to carry on that commerce, it would seem to be within Its power, this has been distinctly affirmed with respect to railroad companies doing an Interstate business and interstate bridges. The power of incorporation ha* been exercised by congress and upheld by the supreme court fn this regard, why, then, with respect to any other form of Interstate commerce like the sale of goods across state boundaries and Into foreign countries, may the same power not be asserted? Indeed, it is the very fact that they carry on Interstate commerce that makwr these great industrial concerns subject to federal prosecution and control. How far as Incidental to the carrying on of that commerce it may be within the power of the federal government to authorise the manufacturer of goods, is perhaps more open to discussion, though a recent decision of the supreme court would seem to answer that question in the affirmative. "The third objection, that th* worst offenders will not accept federal incorporation, is easily answered. The decrees of Injunction recently adopted in prosecutions under the anti-trust law are so thorough and sweeping that the corporations affected by them have but three public, ought to rid themselves of th* Idea that such a diitlnctloa is practle- First, they must resolve themaesves Into their component parts In the different states, with a consequent loss to themselves of capital and effective organization and to the country of concentrated energy and enterprise; or second. In defiance of the law and under some secret trust they must attempt to continue their business in violation of the federal statute^and thus incur the penalties of contempt and bring on an inevitable criminal prosecution of the individuals named in the decree and their associates; or "Third, they mti«t reorganise and a c - cept in good faith the federal charter I suggest a federal compuKory license law, urged as a *ub*titute for a federal incorporation law, is unnecessary except tor- each that kind of corporation which, by virtue of the considerations already advanced, win take, advantage voluntarily state corporations doing an interstate business do^not need the supervision or 2SS&rMtbyW."S fe50,Lofu nfnwe,ecreassl aJrilSy ™bu rde»nf*i* CALI FORI 501D BY CHAW** P*U<QOT 5 ¾ ¾ ^ HIS VISIT MOST OPPORTUNE Another Osy's Delay and tha Raault Would Have Been Unfortunate —For the Physician. A lady was very solicitous about jtor health. Every trifle made her uneasy, and the doctor waa called immediately. The doctor was a skillful man, and consequently had a large practice. It was very disagreeable to him to be ao often called away from his other cases for nothing, and he resolved to take an opportunity of letting the lady gee this. One day the lady observed a red spot on her band, and at once sent for the doctor. He came, looked at her hand, and said: z "You did well to send for me early." The lady looked alarmed and asked: "Is it dangerous, then?" "Certainly not," replied the doctor. "To-morrow the spot would have disappeared, and I should have lost my fee for this visit."

Senator Beveridge, apropos of the old-fashioned snowy Christmas, said the other day: "Snow, of course, has its disadvantages from some points of view. "'Snow is beautiful in its season.' Solomon said that. But I know an old Indianapolis man who, on hearing this remark of Solomon, grumbled: " 'Oh, yea, no doubt it was beautiful to you^slttln' with all the wives «nd lasses of Jerusalem beside you; but if you'd been a poor stone cutter you'd never have said any such thing.'"

A lady tells of a bad case of coffee poisoning and tells it in a way so simple and straightforward that literary skill could not improve it, "I had neuralgic headaches for 12 years," she says, "and suffered untold agony. When I first began to have them I weighed 140 pounds, but they brought me down to 110. I went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief. So I suffered on, till one day a woman doctor told me to use Postum. She said Hooked like I was coffee poisoned. "So I began to drink Postum and I gained IS pounds in the first few weeks and continued to gain, but sot so fast as at first. My headachea began to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks — enough to get the coffee poison o my system. "Since I began to use Postum I gladly say that I never know what neuralgic headache is like any more, and it was nothing but Postum that made me well. Before I used Postum 1 never went out alone?

At his hotel his attention was attracted by an Snglishingn and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunken officer. He was thanked by her. CHATTER HI. In Which Opportunity Comes. A period of decided depression followed, the earlier vision of youth fa dittg swiftly as 1 realized what the message of this card plainly meant, and contemplated the social gulf yawning between myself and this woman Of the English aristocracy. A cat may look at a king, and a South American adventurer might venture to tike admiringly upon this beautiful gentlewoman, yet vaulting ambition should have a care lest it o'erleap itself. Oh, well, it was not much I had to overcome—merely an impression, a fugitive admiration which would early perish, for JC waa hardly probable we abouldaeveiuneet again, ra spite of his lordftbJp's »lff ThvlUtloTi, and her exceeding warm glance seffetfiy ^sectro'ifo* it. •"*:'••.-.'.

But a smile can leave a deeper wound than a sword, and my mind would recur, in spite of other intervening thoughts, to the pleasant mystery behind her gracious words and action. I was thus lingering over the nuts and wine, dreaming a fool's dream, and Idly wondering at the cause of that endless racket in the streets below, with the chorus of vivaa arising from the crowded plaza, when the opeit window facing my table became suddenly darkened by a burly figure. Before 1 could push back my chair, the unwelcome intruder on my privacy was politely bowing before me, one_ hand pressed upon his heart. "Pardon, senor, my so abrupt appearance"— and I gazed curiously into a round, bronzed face, guarded by closely clipped side-whiskers, and illumined by steady black eyes—"but the waiter said 1 should certainly find you alone here, and my need was most urgent. I address the Senor West?" It was the name I had assumed, and, with closely pressed lips, I bowed in ailent acknowledgment of my identity, feeling little doubt about .the man's mission. The round, rather complacent face broke into a geni§l smile of relife. "MuBt fortunate I am thus to discover you with such facility," he continued fluently, using both hands in geattculation. "Senor, it is now a grwt favor I would ask. Could you yield me the honor of a private interview in my own room?" pointing upwar" impressively.

He hastily crossed the room, abut down the tingle window, god drew closer the heavy shade. I watched these evidences of excessive caution with considerable amusement — undoubtedly bribery of the Valparaiso tec ret pottce was considered * moat serious affair. A table occupied the center of the room, aad with a wave of his rather fat hand my mysterious companion invited me to occupy a chair beside it. The perplexity exhibited by hit troubled face caused me to smile again. "So, senor, to you it was all fun," he said, gravely, gesticulating with vtgor. "But I appreciate the danger, the peril of discovery. Everywhere lurk the spies, and what I have to say is "Sangre de Cristol But We Will Show Them What War Means!" not for other ears. Senor, I have addressed you as the Senor West, for so I was bidden; but the man I really seek is not in truth of any such name," his voice sinking to the merest whisper, as he leaned impressively toward me across the table. "It is Senor Estevan." I crossed my legs In apparently careless indifference, my fingers resting oa the butt of the revolver In my pocket, undecided yet whether this was to be war or peace, but prepared for a bold play In either case. "I am Jack Stephens; so you may proceed, senor." "Ah! Tls as I was told!" hla face brightening instantly, his hands delving within an inside pocket of his coat. "This card—see; it is written in the English—it will tell you if I be trusted, if I be all right. You know the handwriting, senor, the man who wrote it?" I accepted the bit of pasteboard curiously, it was the business card of a well-known sugar firm, and I ran my eyes hastily over the few lines dimly traced on the back: "Bearer is all he represents himself to be; you may do business with him safely.—G. P. L." 1 glanced upward at the anxious face of the man opposite; he was evidently tingling with excitement. "You know him, senor? You know the handwriting? You believe him? What is it he says? I read not the English." "Yes; we are acquainted. He It George Lor in ^, a friend of mine. He taya you are what you represent your* self to be, and that I ma£ transact business with you in perfect safety. Now, then, what are you—an agent of the police?" He shrugged his broad shoulders, spreading his hands deprecatingly. "No, no; Cielo, no! Does he not tell you my name?" I shook my head negatively, my in* terest already deeply increased. "No! He was most cautious, it was best so; but now I tell you, and yon believe." Again he ieaned forward, his voice sinking to a mere whisper. UI am Don Kmllio de Castillo."

"Don EmUio," I exclaimed, eagerly, gripping his shoulder, and compelling him to look up, "let me understand thla clearly. You had perfected plana to capture and run off this Esmeralda the moment war was formally declared? You have organized a crew for tbe work, and they are waiting the word here now in Valparaiso? Their leader is suddenly stricken ill, and you have no one capable of taking his place—is that why you have come to me?" "Si, si, senor." "How did you learn about me?" "Prom Senor Lortng. He has lived in Peru. I have known him long." "But you must have other officers in your party; what of them?" He spread his hands in a gesture of utter helplessness. 'Senor, I brought with me only the one. It was not safe to bring more. Besides, what need? This Valparaiso Is a great seaport; here we may always find the scum of the seven seas; here ever are plenty of men glad enough to fight and plunder—'tis their trade. Cielo! we could enroll 100 devils In an hour along the waterfront, hell-hounds of the ocean, caring nothing for the flag above them if the pay be good." "True; and you have them ready at hand. Where are they?" "At the wine shop of Rodrigues beyond the plaza. You know the place?" I nodded, my memory Instantly recalling the foul den. "How many?" "Twenty—it is enough for a surprise, and they are sea-rats, senor." "But they are under officers?" "Of their own kind, yes, but not of our navy. The first officer Is a Yankee whaleman; the second I know not what, only he Is a deep-water sailor." "I see," I acknowledged, taking a long breath, yet continuing to stare at him. "What you need is some one able to command such an outfit, one who can operate a steamship." Like a flash the official envelope came forth again. "Si, si, and you can do that, senor. I know; I have been told. You hate this Chile; you fight her already in the hills; you hide here now for your life. I come to give you a chance to get away free. But I not stop even with that; no, no, my country not stop with that. See! here I possess the commission, all signed and sealed by my government, of a captain in the Peruvian navy. Only is the name left blank for me to write in. I write in your name; that makes you an officer of the Peruvian navy. See you what it means? Chile dare not touch you except as prisoner of war.

"And declared to-day? It hat come suddenly, although I am aware there have been months of controversy. Did Peru expect such a result? Is she,prepared?" He paused in hit nervous walk, his handa outspread on the table, his dark eyes glowing into mine. "Both yes and no, senor. We knew well that nothing save war could ever wipe out the Chilean Insults to our country. Yet we hoped for more time in which to prepare. Cielo! It is nst lack of men—no! no! the army is strong, valiant, senor; it will fight to the death. But the navy! Dios de Oios! we have not the ships, senor. They come not yet, those we have bought in Europe. 'Tis that which has brought me here in disguise to Valparaiso; 'tis that which brings me now to you." I watched him closely without venturing response, and he sank into a chair, his elbows on the table. "SI, now I explain it all to you," his voice falling so low I could scarcely follow. "We know for two weeks past war was to come. • We have only a few warships, one, two, three; not enough to fight Chile, or even guard our own coast. We have thexmen sufficient, but not the ships, senor. What could I do? I, the admiral? There was but one hope^—the audacity of surprise. They must be taken from the enemy; we must strike the first blow, and at the very heart of the Chilean navy. I come here incognito; I come before war has been declared; I study and observe. To a brave man chances for action come, senor, and so I found what I sought. Yeu know about the Esmeralda, senor?" I sat up suddenly In my chair, gripping my cigar between my teeth. "The Esmeralda! You mean that steam yacht yie Chilean government purchased from Brazil?" "Si," his eyes glowing eagerly; "you are a sailor, and so would know of her. She is beautiful, strong, swift, a most dangerous vessel if well handled. Have you ever seen her, senor?" "Only through field-glasses from the balcony of the hotel. She rode at anchor well off the government mole in the roadstead the last I remember." He clasped his fingers on my arm, 5T r. • An Interesting Runaway. "I read a piece In your paper about an automobile that run away with a man's mother-ir.-law," a correspondent writes the Adams (Ga.) Enterprise, "and*" I'm Interested in that automobile and would like to know the name and price of it, or if the owner would part with it for an extra consideration? The only objection to the story is that it doesn't go far enough; it says. 'the automobile ran away with her,' but doesn't say what happened— whether the runaway was fatal, or the automobile changed its mind and turned 'round and came back to where it started from.

AMI QIV4NO WCATCPM CANADA Qreeter Impute .Then Ivor Thlg Year. The report* Jromv the grain fields of Central Canada, (whicfc comprises the Provinces of Manitoba, Saakatchewag; and Alberta) are to hand. The year 1909 hat not only kept pace with pr*> Tioug years la proving that this pcO Uon of the Continent it capable of producing a splendid yield of all the smaller grains, hot it hat thoroughly outstripped previous seasons. .There ie quantity, quality and price and from all parts of an area of about 320,000 square miles there comet the strong refrain of contentment and satisfaction. In the distribution of the conditions causing it no district hat been overlooked. Various et'imatea of the total yield of wheat for the country have been made, but it it not the vast total that influences the general reader so much, at what hat been done individually. The grand total—say ^30 million bushels— may have its effect on the grain price of the world; it may be interetting to know that in the world's markets the wheat crop of Canada has suddenly broken upon the trading boards, and with the Argentine, and with Russia and India, is now a factor in the making of prices. If so today, what will be ItB effect five or ten years from now, when, instead of '.here being seven million acres under crop with a total yield of 125 or 130 million bushels, there will be from 17 to 30 million acres in wheat with a yield of from 325 to 600 million bushels. When it is considered that the largest yield in the United States but slightly exceeded 700 million bushels, the greatness of these figures may be understood. Well, such is a safe forecast, for Canada has the land and it has the soil. Even today the Province of Saskatchewan, one of the three great wheat growing provinces of Canada, with 400,000 acres under wheat, produces nearly 90 million bushels, or upwards of one-tenth of the greatest yield of the United States. And Saskatchewan is yet only in the beginning of its development. As Lord Grey recently pointed out m speaking on this very subject, this year'B crop does not represent one-tenth of the soil equally fertile that is yet to be brought under the plough. Individually, reports are to hand of yields of twenty-five, thirty and thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores of yields are reported of forty and some as high as sixty bushels. The farmer, who takes care of his soit who gets his seed-bed ready early, is certain of a splendid crop. The news of the magnificent crop yield throughout the Canadian West will be pleasing to the friends of the thousands of Americans who are residents in that country and who are vastly instrumental in the assistance they are rendering to let the world know its capabilities. There comes a moment in every man's life when he regrets his inability to kick himself. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE D A Y Take L.AXAT1VK HROMO Quinine Tablets. I>nnjglstsrefund money if it fiiils to core.

Everybody tells us that foodstuffs are exorbitantly high and when '•',% once a mouth or oftener the groc- ^ ¾ 8 kiU iR presented we are feign ' tfcfcelieve them. B. P. Parsons, manager of the Michigan Condensed Milk Oo. at Howell, had a timely article in the Eepoblican of Jan. 5, pertsiping to the milk question in this county especially. Of course the failure of the Pinckney Creamery and some of tbe causes given for that failure was the reason for the writing of the letter. We clip some portions of-the letter. He says: "In the first pjace, if milk that comes from the cow will not test three per cent butter fat the farmer ought to sell that cow at once, and the law of the state of Michigan that required three per~cent of butter fat in milk as it comes from the cow, is a wise law, and ought not to be lowered or changed in any respect. I, personally, believe that some of the farmers have watered milk—I don't think there is any question about it. This letter is not for the honest farmer, it is for the other kind, and the men whom it hits will understand it when he reads this letter. The Michigan Condensed Milk Company are willing to take the milk as it comes from the cow, but they don't believe except in very rare instances, it is possible for a cow to give milk that tests less than three per cent butter fat The reason on which we base our opinion is this: We have just had a test made from one of our Michigan factories which has about one hundred and fifty-four customers and the entire milk averaged 410 per cent of butter fat. We have just had a test made of all of our customers at the Howell factory and four hundred and two out of five hundred and two customers' milk averaged 3.41 per We cannot pay the prices we are paying for milk that tests less than three per cent. There can't any creamery or cheese factory live that buys milk that tests less than three per cent, and personally, I do not believe that there are fifty cows in Livingston county that the milk will test less than 3 per cent as it comes from the cow. We expect to do business right along if the farmers want to sell us their milk. We simply ask the farmers to comply with the laws of the State which we expect to do. We shall have to insist in the future to a test of not less than 3 per cent of butter fats, which t h e law requires and which wo must require. We shall always pay as high prices as we posBibly can for fresh milk, taking into consideration the prices for condensed milk. We want to do business in a straight forward honest way. We waut to buy milk find pay for it— we don't want to buy anything else but milk." WAS YOUR GRANDMOTHER A GOOD COOK? Fifiy years ago your Grandmother was successful in her baking In spite of many handicaps. In her day Baking Powder waft a novelty. She was glad to pay 50 penis a pound for It.. Since her time modern improvements have reduced the cost of manufacture until a much better Baking Powder la produced for only one-third the money. Still the Baking Powder Trust ask yon to pay the old high prices to-day for the same old-style Baking Powders.

The explanation made for this interesting phenomenon is that after a cold wave a large quantity of beat Is taken from the ground in the work of chaugjng the frozen moisture into water, and thus, on the principle of the ice cream freezer, the pipe is chilled, enough heat being taken from It to freeze it.

TWO AIDES ALSO XET OUT Ledger to Dollryer Was Too Big An Offtnse»~it la BoHovodPlnehot'sAot Wss Deliberate Challenge to Chitf Executive. *«"•' 4'ter a cabinet meeting lasting nearly four hours, which ended just before 7 o'clock Friday night, PreBident Taft cauBed the announcement to be, made that he bad directed Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to dismiss Giflord Pinchot from the office -of" for ester of the agricultural department. Later on it was made known that Secretary Wilson, in accordance with a decision of the president and the cabinet, had dismissed Overton W. Price, associate forester and Mr. Plnchot's chief assistant, and Alexander C. Shaw, assistant law officer of the forest service, as well as Mr. Pinchot. The action of the president on the eve of congressional investigation into the allegations and insinuations against Secretary of the Interior Bellinger's conduct of the policy of conserving natural resources Is certain to cause a sensation. Its political effects, according to opinion here, may be far reaching. Coupled with the dismissal of Forester Pinchot was the significant action of the house of representatives lu connection with the joint resolution for an investigation of the charges affecting Secretary BalHnger. Through a combination of Democrats and Republican insurgents, aided by personal friends of Mr. Pinchot among the house membership, the house rejected that provision of the resolution which directed Speaker Cannon to choose the representative* who should sit on the congress committee of inquiry. The Cannon organization, which stood behind the resolution for an investigation, was overturned by a bare majority of three. Under the resolution as amended the house members of the joint committee of inquiry will be elected by the house itself. The decision to dismiss Messrs. Pinchot, Price and Shaw was reached at a regular session of the cabinet which was began at 11 o'clock this morning and lasted until nearly 2 o'clock. The later cabinet session, called for the special purpose, was devoted to the preparation and revision of a letter written by President Tart to Mr. Pinchot, giving the reasons why Mr. Pinchot waB to be removed from the government service. Briefly these reasons were that contrary to the instructions from Secretary Wilson, Forester Pinchot had written a letter to Senator Dolliver to be read publicly in the senate, defending Price and Shaw after they had admitted that they had inspired the magaslne and press campaign against Secretary BalHnger; that Mr. Pinchot had cast reflections in the' DoTjiver letter on the action of President Taft in directing the dismissal of Louis R. Glavis, of the public land service, the man who charged that Mr. Bellinger and other offlcers at the Interior department had been guilty of improper official conduct, in connection with the Alaska coal claims and that Mr. Pinrhot had intimated in the Dolliver letter that without the magazine and press exploitation of Price and Shaw the administration would have allowed fraudulent coal land claims in Alaska to be patented. According to President Taft. Mr. Pinchot wrote to Senator Dolliver to offset in the public mind the president's decision in the Glavis case. Mr. Pinchot in this letter paid a high tribute to. Mr. Glavis and indicated that President Taft had erred In dismissing him, and, by Inference, that Mr. Glavis' charges against Secretary BalHnger were based on proper grounds.

AHaging that it is cheaper to bar coal to fill present contracts than to operate the mint at the rat* of wages demanded by the men, the officials of the Enterprise mine at Pardoe, Pa., have closed the mine Indefinitely. Owing to a coal famine the Rock Island arsenal, employing 1.700 me*, was closed temporarily. Several cities in Iowa and western Illinois are alio facing a scarcity of coal as freight shipment is impeded by cold weather and snow. "Expert farmers wanted. Salary $1,200 per annum."

The bridge spanning the Brie canal, Fort Plain, N.

George J. Gould commenced a friendly suit against his brothers and sisters for the partition of the estate left equally among them by their mother, Helen D. Gould, widow of Jay Gould, who died in 1889. The estate consists of four pieces of improved New York real estate. No official action looking to the transfer of Ambassador Baron des Planches from Washington to Constantinople is yet made known, but the transfer is not unlikely. It has long been expected tnat the ambassador's stay at Washington would be terminated early in the present year. Aram J. Pothier began his second term as governor of Rhode Island Tuesday. In his inaugural address) the governor recommended biennial sessions of the legislature, instead of annual; a better state control of foreign corporations, and state supervision of the fight against tuberculosis. Trustees of the Indiana Aati-8atoon league decided not to engage in a campaign for statutory prohibition of the liquor business in Indiana, but instead to attempt in the next session of the legislature to bring about the adoption ef a joint resolution for a prohibitory amendment to the state constitution. Thirty-four dollars and eighty-three cents is what every man, woman and child In the United States ought to have if the $3,122,154,538 which is in circulation were equally divided among them. That is the statement made by the treasury department on the basis of an estimated population of 89,644,000. The total amount of money in circulation is about $30,000,- 000 more than a year ago at this time. THE MARKETS. Cardinal Sato Hi Dead.

They are also good watchers In the poultry yards, as any unusual disturbance is soon told by the noise they make. A house 8x12 is a very convenient else for a small flock of fowls. If a large flock is to be housed two ot more small ones would be better than a very large house.

An English firm is making a ape* dalty of this portable chicken house. designed for use on farms where it may be desired to move the chicken headquarters from field to field, says Popular Mechanics. The small Port*ble5-Hou»e. * c o o p o n the shelf near tho top Is for brooding purposes. It may be left In that position, be placed on the ground, or, in wet weather and at. night, be shoved inside the house. The box, divided into five flections, across the-.end of the house, is for nesta. Labor Cost. On the general farm, where from B0 to 300 laying hens are kept, the labor item is practically nothing; but on large poultry plants it is an important item, and, if care is not exercised, the cost of labor will eat up the profit of the business. The work must be systematized so that one man can successfully care for a large number of fowls. On one large farm which was visited two men were caring for 4 000 fowls; on another one man was caring for 2,500. A minimum number for one man would be about 1,000. Mr. Channy, who keeps about 800 fowls, is realizing a profit of about $1,200 a year, which is considerable more than many men are supporting large families with. This would naturally show us that it is more economical to keep about 1,000 hens and perform the necessary labor yourself, rather than keep a larger number and be compelled to hire outside labor. which Is often very unsatisfactory. Barred Plymouth Rook Hen. about half * billion dollars' worth of poultry and eggs per annum. Exports are increasing and one may enter on the raising of poultry and egrs with little fear of not realising godd prices on all produce. Probably 90 per cent of the farms in the United States raise poultry aa a side line; feeding ts more economical where general farming is pur* sued* Still there are manifest advantages in specialising—greater attention, knowledge and skill schleve better results. :; Poultry raising makes no great demands on strength, and any person5pt' intelligence may hope to make a success of it. But some have made the mistake of supposing that the business can be taken up on a considerable scale without any experience. Hens lay all the way from none to 2o0 eggs a year, and it takes some experience to t*U with what kind of hons and under what conditions, the upper limit can be reached. Probably She besveourse fee the iaieMsaijwultry raiser would be to 'wrsrk few a year or more on one of UiaJarge chicken ranches in order* Vt learn the important potnta^ot breeds, feeding, fattening, penning, brooding, incuba*! ng, etc. The raUln»ot broilers, re..stere and capons"fttr. thev*market may be a paying occupation on an egg farm. Squab raising is profitable provided ope secures the right kind of stock and gives the work the proper attention and management No kind of poultry is more profitable than turkeys. rhe illustration shows a Barred Plymouth Rock hen, one of the most popular breeds. Feed for Chickens. Chickens must not only have all the food that they will eat, but they must have food in which the ingredients necessary for quick growth, and egg production are abundant It takes a variety of foods to combine theae essentials and we must provide It for them. The most active hens, as a rule. are the most prolific layers, but it is not wise to carry that idea to an extreme. The Poultry. They should have almost as Important a place on the average farm as other stock, and they must have good care in the winter if they are to pay their way and make a profit besides. A variety of food and warm houses are what the poultry flock demand. Do not let them roost in trees and on fences. Any animal that Is worth keeping Is worthy of the best care and attention. Do not keep more stock that can well be cared for. Keep the best stock, give the best feed and care and they will pay a handsome profit for the time and money spent on them. »^M»l»---*-aSieSB»»S8SStSSBSBt»aSfSB*B*SS«St»B»f» Handling Oeese.

It is not only a question of feeding and watering but it is necessary to closely watch their condition, to keep their houses in repair, and to make them comfortable, and a long list of little details that dare not be neglected. Mslformed Eggs. There is something in the shape of an egg that tells the story. If it is ridgy, long and peaked, unusually large, or If it is "out ot shape," it will not tell you whether it will hatch a male or a female, but It tells a truthful story of the condition of that hen. Such eggs come only from hens that have diseased ovaries, generally caused by being in a too-fat condition. i i i « •• .a m Care of Young Pultsts. Many of the pullets hatched In March or April will soon begin to lay if they are properly cared for. The main thing is to keep them growing at a rapid rate, so that they fill at tain full alee aa early as possible. If they are permitted to go into the win* ter 4n a stunted condition they will not lay and their feed will be a dead loss.

The demand lead a nearby druggist, James Doan, to prepare it for sale. From him the magic formula passed to the present proprietors. Now, as in those early days, Doans Kidney Pills are made from only the purest drugs and are absolutely non-poisonous. They are used and praised all over the civilized world.

Sixth s t r e e t Topeka, Kansas, s a y s : " I n t h e spring of 1899 Doan's K i d n e y P i l l s brought m e s u c h great relief that I did not hesitate t o make t h e fact known and g i v e this r e m e d y my most earnest e n d o r s e m e n t In my statement I said that for three y e a r s I h a d suffered from kidney c o m p l a i n t I h a d a dull g r u m b l i n g ache aexoss t h e small of my back that greatly i n c o n v e n i e n c e d m e w h e n reaching a n d straining i n doing my work, A n annoying kidney weakness w a s also i n e v i d e n c e a n d it w a s out of the question, for m e to s l e e p w e l l In the morning I w a s a l l tired o u t a n d it c a n b e seen that I w a s in b a d shape. T h e u s e of Doan's K i d n e y Pills quickly a n d surely drove away these symptoms of kidney complaint a n d I have s i n c e b e e n i u good health. T h e foregoing statement w a s g i v e n i n March 1905, a n d w h e n Mr. I^lack w a s interviewed on N o v . 12, 1908, h e said : "I have n e v e r had a return attack of kidney complaint and I know that my c u r e i s a permanent one. My faith in Doan's Kidney P i l l s is stronger than ever. Mrs. James Croaks, First S t , N. W . , American Fork, U t a h , says, "I h a d kidney complaint for ten years or more. Sometimes a twinge darted through the small of m y back and I often b e c a m e so helpless that I w a s compelled to go to b e d with my clothes on. T h e attacks often lasted for days at a time and X c o u l d n o t e v e n stoop to put o n my shoes. My condition w a s certainly alarming. T h e secretions f r o m m y kidneys w e r e irregular in passage and contained a heavy sediment after standing. I well know what t h e misery kidney complaint causes a n d I c a n therefore appreciate the merits of a r e m e d y that cures this disease. Doan's Kidney P i l l s lived up to the claims made for them in my case and effected a cure. My kidneys w e r e restored t o a normal condition a n d my health greatly improved.'' (Statement given Aug.22.1907 ) On A u g . 24. 1009, Mrs. Crooks w a s interviewed b y o n e o f our representatives a n d s h e said: "It gives m e pleasure to reendorse Doan's K i d n e y Pills.

The four weeks old babe of Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Kennedy died Thursday morning last The funeral was held at the home Sat-1 urday forenoon. The Webberville Index reached onr desk this week, and it looks as though the business people appreciated the little newsy paper by the advertising that appears in its columns. Here*s to you. Another member of Pinokney's Old Boys and Girls association is added to the list of those gone, Jonathan Everitt, who was a hardware dealer here in the sixties, died at his home in Argentine, t Jan. 9, aged 85 years. J Word just reached this place t tbe past week of the death of Miss :, Ethel Durkeejat the home of her Bister Mrs. Will Singleton of Los Angeles, Call, Dec. 1, 1909, Her , home until the past few years has _„ been in the vicinity ol Anderson and her many friends will be grieved to learn of her death.

The suow storm that was headed this way last week Wednesday struck during the night and continued all day Thursday, the wind playing havoc with the 'beautiful' until it had piled it up in all kinds of shapes, making plenty of work for the snow plow and citizens. Trains were some late however all trains on the M. A. L. made their trips only a few hours behind. Throughout the state traffic was at a stand still in many places for 24 hours. A Correction. In the obituary of Mrs. Bernard McOluskey last week quite an .400* ooonrad for which we were f? antiraly to blame. In mentioning the survivors of the deceased no mention was made of the only daughter, Miss Mary McOluskey. Obituary* Sarah Harrington, whose maiden name was Waterman, was born in Middleport, Niagara Co., New York, Oct 6th, 1829. She lived in that county until her marriage to Harvey Harrington, Nov. 14th, 1850. The family moved to this state about 1858, settling in Saginaw city for a time then moved to Marion township where they reresided until coming to this place a few years ago. * To this union were born six children four of whom are living: George of Louisville, Ky.; Henry, of Bloomington, 111.; Mary Eldert,. of this place and Carrie Swarthont of- Marion. Mrs. Harrington was a kind loving wife and mother, devoted to her family and home duties and to her late husband, who passed through a painful illness, blessed by her loving care. She willingly obeyed the calls of duty^ however painful. She will be greatly mourned and missed by her family and a large circle of friends but we know our loss is her eternal gain. We believe that a family lives bnt half a life, until it has sent its forerunners into the heavenly world, until those who linger here can cross the river, and fold transfigured a glorius form in the embrace of an endlest life. GABD OF THANKS. The family of Mrs. H. Harrington desire to thank all who so kindly assisted them during the illness and in the time of bereavement, in the loss of their mother. CARD OF THANKS We desire to extend our heartfelt thanks to those who so kindly assisted us in our bereavement, also to those who sent floral offer. ings.

Wanton waste during centuries of ignorance has brought many once fertile regions to the verge of a desolation like that of the Sahara, but repentance and reforestation have in every instance been followed by immediate rewards. Take the case of the Karat, a stretch of barren limestone land along the Austrian ahores of the Adriatic. The navies of Venice were built of Umber from the Karat, and most of eastern Italy drew its supplies of wood from the same supposedly Inexhaustible source. The result was depletion—the Karst was turned into a seemingly Irredeemable waste. At last Austrian foresters turned their attention to the 600,000 barren acres; taxeB were remitted and money was remitted to tree planters; technical advice aid encouragement was supplied. This work began in 1865. To-day over two-thtrda of tho Karat, or 400,000 acres, has been reclaimed. Germany, trance, Denman;, Russia, Switzerland, Belgium and Holland have given special attention to their forests recently, Germany being the pioneer and leader in the work. But France has lately done so much In legislation and active assistance tlxat special attention should be given to her efforts. Special Message Is Sent to Congress by President Urging Action Lawmakers. CONTROL OF WATER POWER Vhe change from steam to electricity on what have been steam railroads Is so gradual, and the roads themselves make so little fuss about It, that tbe public 1B not in a position to realize the extent to which so marked a change in the application of power to transportation is being brought about. For example, it will be a surprise to most people, evei. within a comparatively short distance of New York, to learn that the Long Island railway already has 140 miles of electrically equlppped track in readiness for operation. It is expected that by the first of next February trains will be running directly from the Pennsylvania terminal at Seventh avenue and Thirty-fourth street, Manhattan, to Jamaica. It will not te long before the territory at the western end and along the north shore of Long Island will be inc:Uded in the througn service. Executive Recommends Leasing of . Valuable Privileges on Government Domain to Private Interests Under Conditions That Would Prevent Monopoly—Question of Fostering Soils Most Important- Reclamation and Irrigation of Arid Lands Also Treated Upon—Preservation of Our Forests. A London dispatch announces that Hermann Klein, who Is a teacher of singing in New York, has entertained an English audience with a lecture entitled "The Truth Ab-mt Music In America." Musical enthusiasm, he declared, Is largely a pose of American women. No musical educatlor exists in the country. Ragtime is really preferred to chamber music. American artists are only appreciated by their countrymen after they have achieved success elsewhere. Finally, he attacked the Btar system in opera, church music and concerts as it exists in the United States. The younger element among military and naval men will approve the condemnation of the existing organization of the military establishment of the United States by the board appointed several months ago to Institute comparisons between methods in this country and in Europe, and to make a report The report will rec ommend the establishment of an ad visory board with duties and powers similar to those of the British admiralty. A thorough reorganization of nary yard administration will also be advised. A wooden vessel 350 feet long over all will be launchea at Bath, Me, within two weeks.

Washington.—The president transmitted to congress a special message on the subject of the conservation of the nation's natural resources. In substance it was as follows: To the Senate und House of Representatives: In my annual message I reserred the subject of the conservation of our national resources for disposition In a special message, as follows: In several departments there is presented the necessity for legislation looking to the further conservation of our national resources, and the subject la one of such importance as to require a more detailed and extended discussion than can be entered upon in this communication. For that reason I shall take an early opportunity to send a special message to congress on the subject of the Improvement of our waterways; upon the reclamation and irrigation of arid, semi- Arid and swamp lands; upon the preservation of our forests and the re-foresting of suitable areas; upon the re-classification of the public domain with a view of separating from agricultural settlement mineral, coal and phosphate lands and sites belonging to the government bordering on streams suitable for the utilization of water power. In 1860 we had a public domain of 1,065,- »11,288 acres. We have now 731,364.081 acres, confined largely to the mountain ranges and the arid and semi-arid plains. We have, in addition, 368,035,975 acres of land in Alaska. Disbursement of Public Lands. The public lands were, during the earliest administrations, troated as a national asset for the liquidation of the public debt and as a source of reward for our soldiers and sailors. Later on they were donated in large amounts in aid of th« construction of wagon roads and railways, in order to open up regions in the west then almost Inaccessible. All the principal land statutes were enaoted more than a quarter of a century ago. The homestead act, the pre-emption and timber- culture act, the coal land and the mining acts were among these. Fraudulent Titles. The truth is that title to millions of acres of publie lands was fraudulently obtained and that the right to recover a large part of such lands for the government long plnce ceased by reason of statutes of limitations. There has developed In recent years a deep concern in the public mind respecting the preservation and proper use of our natural resources. This has been particularly directed toward the conservation of the resources of the public domain. A vast amount of discussion has appeared in the public prints in generalized form on this subject, but there has been little practical suggestion. It has been easy to say that the natural resources in fuel supply, in forests, in water power, and in other public utilities, must be saved from waste, monopoly, and other abuses, and the general public is In accord with this proposition, as they are with most truism*. The problem, however, is how to save and how to utilize, how to conserve and still develop, for no sane person can contend that it is for the common good that nature's blessings are only for unborn generations. Noteworthy Reforms. Among the most noteworthy reforms Initiated by my distinguished predecessor were the vigorous prosecution of land frauds and the bringing to public attention of the necessity for preserving the remaining public domain from further spoliation, for the maintenance and extension of our forest resources, and for the enactment of laws amending the obsolete statutes so as to retain governmental control over that part of the pub- He domain in which there are valuable deposits of coal, of oil, and of phosphate, and, in addition thereto, to preserve control, under conditions favorable to the public, of the lands along the streams In which the fall of water can be made to generate power to be transmitted in the form of electricity many miles to the point of its use, known as "water power" sites. The present statutes, except so far as they dispose of the precious metals and the purely agricultural lands, are not adapted to carry out the modern view of the best disposition of publie lands to private ownership, under conditions offering on the one hand sufficient inducement to private capital to take them over for proper development, with restrictive conditions on the other which shall secure to the public that character of control which will prevent a monopoly or misuse of the lands or their products. The power of the secretary of the interior to withdraw from the operation of existing statutes tracts of land, the disposition of which under such statutes would be detrimental to the public Interests, 1« not clear or satisfactory. This power has been exercised In the interest of the public, with thejiope that congress might affirm the action of the executive by laws adapted to the new conditions. Unfortunately, congress has not thus far fully aeted on theYecosamendattons of the executive, and the nutation as to what the eajcm,U«e Is to do is under the circumstances, rut} «| difficulty. It seems to me that It U the duty of oongress BOW, by a statute, to validate the withdrawal* whioj* nave been made by tbe secretary of the interior and the president and to use the secretary'of the Interior temporarV ily to withdraw lands pending submission to congress of recQuuneudaUons as to legislation to meet conditions or emergencies as they arise. . Public Land Alone •treams. With respect to the public land which lies aleng the streams offering opportunity to convert water power Into transmissible electricity, .another important phase of the public land question is presented. There are valuable water power sites through all the public land states. The opinion Is held that the transfer of sovereignty from the federal government to the territorial govern m e n u a s they become states, included the water power In the rivers except s o far a s that owned by riparian proprietors. I do not think it necessary to g o Into discussion of this somewhat mooted question of law. It seems to me sufficient to s a y that tbe man who owns and controls the land along the stream from which the power is to be converted and transmitted, owns land which Is indispensable to the conversion and use of that power. I cannot conceive bow -the power In streams flowing through public lands can bo made available at all except by using the land Itself as the site for the construction of the plant by which the power is generated and converted and securing a right of way thereover for transmission lines. Under these condition, If the government owns the adjacent land—indeed, if the government is the riparian owner—it may control the use of the water power by Imposing proper conditions on the disposition of the land necessary in tbe creation and utilization of the water power. Vslue of Water Power. The development in electrical appliances for the conversion of the water power into electricity to be transmitted long distances has progressed so far that it is no longer problematical, but It Is a certain Inference that In the future the power of the water falling In the streams to a large extent will take the place of natural fuels. In the disposition of the domain already granted, many water nower sites have come under absolute ownership, and may drift into one ownership, so that all the water'power under private ownership shall be a monopoly. If, however, the water power nitea now owned by the government—and there are enough of them—shall be disposed of to private persons for the Investment of their capital in such a way aa to prevent their union for purposes of monopoly with other water power sites, and under conditions that shall limit the right of use to not exceeding thirty years with renewal privileges and some equitable means of fixing terms of rental and with proper means for determining a reasonable graduated rental, it would seem entirely possible to prevent the absorption of these most useful lands by a power monopoly. As long as the government retains control and can prevent their improper union with other plants, competition must be maintained and prices kept reasonable. 8olls Must Be Conserved. In considering the conservation of the natural resources of the country, the feature that transcends all others, including woods, waters, minerals, Is the soil of the country. It is incumbent upon the government to foster by all available means the resources of the country that produce the food of the people. To this end the conservation of the soils of the country should be cared for with all means at the government's disposal. Their productive powers should have the attentlon^of our scientists that we may cortSewte^the new soils, improve the old soils, drain wet Boils, ditch swamp soils, levee river overflow soils, grow trees on thin soils, pasture hillside soils, rotate crops on all soils, discover methods for cropping dry land soils, find grasses and legumes for all soils, feed grains and mill feeds on the farms where they originate, that the eoils from which they come may be enriched. A work of the utmost Importance to inform and Instruct the public on this chief branch of the conservation of our resources is being carried on successfully in the department of agriculture; but it ought not to escape public attention that state action in addition to that of the department of agriculture (as for Instance in the drainage of swamp lands) is essential to the best treatment of the soils in the manner above Indicated. The act by which, in semi-arid parts of the public domain, the area of the homestead has been enlarged from ISO to 320 acres has resulted most beneficially in the extension of "dry farming" and in the demonstration which has been made of the possibility, through a 'variation in the character and mode of culture, of raising substantial crops without the presence of such a supply of water as has been heretofore thought to be necessary for agriculture. No one can visit the far west and the country of arid and semi-arid lands without being convinced that this is one of the most important methods of the conservation of our natural resources that the government has entered upon. It would appear that over 30 projects have been undertaken, and that a few of these are likely to bo unsuccessful because of lack of water, or for other reasons, but generally the work which has been done has been well done, and many important engineering problems have been met and solved. Funds inadequate for 8ervlce. One of the difficulties which has arisen is that too many projects in view of the available funds have been set on foot. The funds available under the reclamation statute are Inadequate to complete these projects within, a reasonable time. And yet the projects have been begun; settlers have been invited to take up atid. in many instances, have taken up. the public land within the projects, relying upon their prompt completion. The failure to complete the projects for their benefit Is, In- effect, a breach of faith and leaves them In a most distressed condition. I urge that the nation ought to afford the means to lift them out of the very desperate condition in whloh they now are. This condition does not indicate any excessive w s s t e or any corruption on the part of the reclamation service. It only indicates an over-eealoua desire to extend the benefit of reclamation to as many acres and as many states aa possible. I recommend, therefore., that authority be given to Issue, not exceeding $10,000,000 of bonds from time to time, as the secretary of the Interior shall find It necessary, the proceeds to be applied to the completion of the projects already begun and *w- ~&m 5 their proper extension, and the woods running tea years o t more to be taJua, up by the proceeds of ^returns to the reclamation fund, which returns, a a the years g o on, will increase rasidry la a m o u n t ' »•••. N e w Law Requisite. r - Respecting the oomparatlvaly small timbered area* on the publie domain eet included la national forests because ' of their Isolation.or their special value tor agricultural or mineral purposes, it i e a # - - parent from the evils resulting by virtue of the imperfeottona of existing laws for the disposition of Umber lands that the acts of. June 8, 18ft, should be re* pealed and a law exacted for the dispo* sitlon ot the timber at pubUe axle, the lands after the removal of the timber to be subject to appropriation under the agricultural or mineral land laws. What I have said Is really an epitome ot the recommendations of the secretary of the Interior In respect, to the future conservation of the public domain in his present annual report He has given close attention to the problom of disposition of these lands under suoh conditions as to invite the private capital necessary to their development on the one hand, and the maintenance of the restrictions necessary to prevent monopoly and abuse from absolute ownership ort the other. These recommendations are incorporated in bills he has prepared, and they are a t the disposition ot the congress.'I earnestly recoraraeud that all the suggestions which he has made with respect to these lands shall be embodied in statutes and, especially, that the withdrawals already made shall be validated so far as neccesary and that doubt as to the authority of the secretary of the Interior to withdraw lands for the purpose of submitting recommendations as to future disposition of them where new legislation is needed shall be made complete and unquestioned. Disposition of Forest Reserves. The forest reserves. of the United State's, some 190,000,000 acres in.extent, are under the control of the department of agriculture, with authority adequate to preserve them and to extend their growth so far as that may be practicable. The importance of the maintenance of our forests cannot be exaggerated. The possibility of a scientific treatment of forests so that they shall be made to yield a large' return in timber without really reducing the supply has been demonstrated in other countries, and we should work toward the standard set by them as far as their methods are Applicable to our conditions. Improvement of River. I come now to the Improvement of the Inland waterways. He would be blind, indeed, who did not realise that the people of the far west, and especially those of the Mississippi valley, have been aroused to the need there Is for the improvement of our inland waterways. The Mississippi river, with the Missouri on the one hand and the Ohio on the other, would seem to offer a great natural means of interstate transportation and traffic. How far. if properly improved they would relieve the railroads or supplement them In fespect to the bulkier and cheaper commodities is a .matter of conjecture. No enterprise ought to be undertaken the cost of which is not definitely ascertained and the benefit and advantage of which are not known and assured by competent engineers and other authority. When, however, a project of a definite character for the Improvement of a waterway has been developed so that the plans have been drawn, the cost definitely estimated, and the traffic which will be accommodated is reasonably probable I think it Is the duty of congress to undertake the project and make provision therefor in the proper appropriation bill. One of the projects which answers the description I have given is that of introducing dams into the Ohio river from Pltt9burg to Cairo, so as to maintain at all seasons of the year, by slack water, a depth of nine feet. Upward of seven of these dams have already been constructed and six are under construction, while the total required is 60. The remaining cost is known to be $63,000,000, l^llfr TrW€ BETWgfN D0SIS. : > - . « ? • • * -r * «., : "> .

Although the survey of the past year's anti-tuberculosis work shows that much has been done, the reports from all, parts of the country indicate that this year the amount of money to be expended, and the actual number of patients that will be treated will be more than double that of the past year. For instance, special appropriations have been made in the various municipalities for next year's antituberculosis work, aggregating $3,976,- 500. In addition to these appropriations over $4,000,000 has been set aside by the different state legislatures for the campaign against tuber culosis tuis year. Besides these sums, a large number of the present exist* ing institutions and associations are planning enlargements of their work, and new organizations are being formed daily.

I assume from reliable information that It can be constructed economically in ten years. I recommend, therefore, that the public lands, in river and harbor bills, make provision for continuing contracts to complete this Improvement, and I shall recommend in the future, if it be necessary, that bonds be issued to carry it through. - What has been said of the Ohio river Is true in a less complete way of the Improvement of the upper Mississippi from St. Paul to St. Louis t6 a constant depth of six feet, and of the Missouri, from Kansas City to St. Louis to a constant depth of six feet and from St. Louis to Cairo of a depth of eight feet. These project* have been pronounced practical by competent boards of army engineers, their cost has been estimated and there is business which will follow the Improvement. As these improvements are being made, and the traffic encouraged by them shows itself of sufficient Importance, the improvement of tbe Mississippi beyond Cairo down to the gulf, which Is now going on with the maintenance of a depth of nine feet everywhere, may be changed to another and greater depth If the necessity for it shall appear to arise out ot the traffic which can be delivered on the river at Cairo. Cheap Rail Rate Necessary. I am informed that the investigation by the waterways commission In Europe shows that the existence of a waterway by no means assures traffic unless there is traffic adapted to water carriage at cheap rates at one end or the other ef the stream. It also appears in Europe that the depth of the streams is rarely more than six feet, and never more than nine. But it is certain that enormous Quantities of merchandise are transported over the rivers and canals in Germany and France and England, and it Is also certain that the existence of such methods of traffic materially affects the rates which the railroads charge, and ft is the best regulator of those rates that we have, not even excepting the gaxammental regulation through the Interstate commerce commission. For this reason, I hope that this congress will take such steps that It may be called the inaugurator of the new system of inland waterways. For reasons which tt is not necessary here to state, congrsss has seen fit to order an Investigation into the interior department and the forest service of the agricultural department. The results of that investigation are not needed to determine the value of, and the necessity for, t h s new legislation which I have recommended In respect to the public lands and In respect to reclamation. X earnestly urge that the measures be taken tip and disposed of promptly without awaiting the investigation which has determined upon, Evidently 8o.

SYNOPSIS, le story opens with the Introduction of John Stephens, adventurer, a Massachusetts man marooned by authorities at Valparaiso, Chile. Being interested in mining operations in Bolivia, he was denounced by Chile as an insurrectionist and as a consequence was.hiding. At his hojtel his attention was attracted by an Englishman and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunk*n officer. He was thanked by her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told him that war had been declared between Chile and Peru and offered him the office of captain. He desired that that night the Esmeralda, a Chilean vessel, should be captured. CHAPTER Ill—Continued. I walked the floor twice from wall to wall, thinking swiftly, the sodden cigar clinched tightly between my teeth. I could perceive no reason why the deed might not be accomplished •If lucjc favored, and I was sufficiently young so that the danger rather appealed than repelled. Suddenly I wheeled and faced him, still seated at the table. "You may fill out the blank, senor," I announced, quietly. "I will try a throw of the dice." at C I M M I pointing .upon' the roocfe. tatrlat. Indeed, » wild, hilarious mob ftpefcd m « loudly M 1 pressed aside Usjl k)«tvy curtain sod stepped within.

Faith, It was a choice collection, as though the wide waters of the world bad been skimmed to bring together that rare crew of beauties. Perched high upon a table, bis Jk>ng legs encased in sea boots, seated astride a chair, sat the singer, his mop of coarse red hair standing erect, his Jaw that of a bulldog, the scar of a recent kriife wound showing, ghastly across one cheek, his blue shirt open at the throat to reveal a hairy chest; beneath thatched brows his eyes glinted and gleamed in a ferocious attempt at good humor. "Blng, ye bullies!1' he roared, after one Inquiring glance toward me, bringing his heavy glass down on the back of the chair. "Lay it out fer the gent, wtmt has just come calUn' on ye.

The polite hotel clerk halted me as I passed his desk on the way out with information that a drunken naval officer— evidently Sanchez—had been there twice already seeking me, had also asked for Lord Darlington, and would return again at ten o'clock. I thanked him, smiling to myself, wondering if the English nobleman was to be challenged also, and promptly disappeared into the night without. The unfortunate affair with the aggrieved lieutenant had become a small matter no longer troubling me. I have wandered by night through most of the seaports of the world, knowing well the intricacies and dark places of Port Said, Melbourne and Calcutta, but I doubt if even the unspeakable orient can equal for dirt, squalor, crime and peril those narrow, crooked alleyways where sailors most do congregate against the Valparaiso water-front. Here gather in bestial rioting the scum of the South seas, and here flourish their parasites. Any night a trip alone through those foul lanes Is of the kind to test strong nerves; but on this special occasion, the way filled with pandemonium and drunkenness, the entire city a riot of noisy violence, the populace aroused to fierce hate toward all foreigners, the passage was one of constantly recurring danger. The street lights, few and far between, were mere blotches of color winking feebly at the surrounding darkness, the rough cobblestone pavement underfoot was irregular and deceitful, while drunken crowds, either quarrelsome or maudllngly affectionate, surged aimlessly about, gesticulating and yelling with Latin fervor. However. I knew the way well, and kept myself hidden from observation by hovering close beneath the protecting shadows of the buildings, drawing well h:\ck within doorways to permit the noiser parties of velers to pass, and then hurrying _ ward along the deserted streets. 1 ^^pumbled over the body of more than %ne drunken man, while sounds of Quarreling were borne to me through the open door of every low taproom I passed.

It was a ramshackle, wooden affair, sagging sadly at one corner, the half dozer stepB leading to tVe open door being only dimly lighted.

They were still at it, the motley, mongrel crew, their hoarse, drinkthickened voices roaring out lines full of the fierce swing of the deep sea, their glasses pounding in unison on the tables, as I pushed my way through them up to the sloppy bar and faced the fellow standing behind. "Is there a Yankee whaleman here by the name of Tuttle?" I asked. He stared at me, his eyes squinting, while the wild chorus began to die away like a clock run down. "Bill, whars Cap" Tut'?" he called out finally. "Here's a cove wants hhn." The red-headed giant, perched aloft on the chair, flung one hand indifferently across his shoulder toward the rear of the room. "Come on again, mates," he roared. "Another drink, and another song. Spit it out this time—'Swing hard! Bend low!'" "He's yonder In the back room; through that door, mate," said the bartender, shortly. "Better not tread on any of the lads* feet goin' in, unless maybe ye're here to-night, huntin' trouble. They're just 'bout drunk enough now to be ready to start a row." I picked my way with caution, the fierce lilt of that devils' chorus stunning my ears, the hairy faces confronting me scowllngly suggestive of any c r ! # \ Saint Andrew! I thought soberly, if this was still the day of pirates here was * brood ready for hatching. With a feeling of positive ellef 1 pressed open the heavy wooden door, stepped within and closed it carefnlly behind me. So tightly fitting and solid the wood It instantly shut out completely the mad >riot of the barroom. It was like coming into a new world. Two men sat alone at a small, round table smoking, between them a short-necked black boute with glasses, and a scattered deck of greasy cards. The one nearest where I stood, tali, long-Umbed, angoja* hi* facet thfat and made to appear more a*v from a sandy chin-whisker, bad hit knees swung over the ana of bis chair, a bald spot on the, top of hit head shinlag ooasplcoousiy beneath tha rars of the iamfc. His oompanjan Was considerably yomigar, somewBaf trim of buiht, with black, curling hair, and small mustaches carted - upward at the tips. He was of a complexion to make- me think him either a ereole £r quadroon, but with smiling lips and % light in his merry eyes beepeakiag a temperament of food humor; "Capt. Eli Tuttle?" I questioned, doubtfully. •• The older man slowly deposited his feet on the floor and stood up. He was a trifle round-shouldered, attired la a black frock coat which dangled to the knees, and his eyes-of cold gray narrowed into mere slits as he inspected me with undisguised suspicion. "The spirit which for 70 years hath made answer to that earthly name still abideth within this fleshly body," he responded solemnly, in a voice seemingly from the very pit of his stomach. "I am still permitted to sail the seas, thus known to the children, of men, awaiting in patience the hour of translation." To be greeted thus in such a spot stunned me for the instant, my cheeks flushing as I read undisguised amusement in the upturned face of the Creole. My teeth shut together hard. "You are Eli Tuttle, then, formerly master of the whaling bark Betsy?" "Even so, young man," his lean face perfectly emotionless, his long fingers outspread flat on the table. "Eli Tuttle of New Bedford, once the chief of sinners, but now communing with the higher life of the spirit world. Associate me not with yonder ungodly crew, blind to the truth of the beyond," and he snapped his fingers softly toward the closed door. "In this world saints and sinners must indeed mingle bodily, yet not in any communion of spirit. It was for peaceful meditation that friend De Nova and I deserted yonder scene of revelry and sought this secluded spot. Truly the good book saith that where one or two are gathered together in his name there is he also in the midst of them." The Creole laughed outright, smiling the table smartly with his palm. "Sit down, mate!" he exclaimed, genially, kicking up a chair. "After 5rou know zis ol' hypocrite as well as I do, his communion viz spirits won't bozzef you much. Help yourself to drink, an' wash the taste out you' mouth." Tuttle wheeled about and stared at his companion, his thin jaw working savagely; but the Creole went on rolling a cigarette indifferently between his brown fingers, his white teeth gleaming. I remained standing, my hand on the back of the chair, intently studying the pair. "I come directly from Don Castillo," I said, quietly, facing the Yankee, and determined to get down to business, "and desire to speak with you alone." His glinting eyes narrowed perceptibly, and his jaws crunched down upon the tobacco in his cheek. " Tis safe enough with him," he acknowledged rather ungraciously, his voice becoming nasal as he pointed his chin-beard toward the other. "De Nova Is second officer." I drew back the chair and sat down, realizing that I now possessed the attention of both. "I have been appointed to assume Capt. Castelar's duties," I announced quietly. "Do either of you care to examine my papers?" Tuttle Bpat silently into the sawdust, while De Nova exhibited his white teeth in a grin. The eyes of the two men met. "I rather guess your papers won't cut much ice in this yere affair," returned the former with deliberate insolence, "being as how we don't either of us g J ^ f c t W ^ t i n * tor ,5era, If if you'll paldod my sayia* so plainly." His maak.- bad . disappeared as by magic, and I realised instantly the real nature of, t i p men* "Y^g mean ,BO oattstmaot km bean made, .either by yon, ft the men under your' "That's lust,aboot the aUe of it, mister," his tone full of unconcealed contempt. U s leg flung once again over the arm of the chair. "We agreed to do this one particular "job fer a certain consideration, but we're none of as-Peruvian sailor-men, and consequently don't give a hang for yonr papers. Ain't that about it. De Nova?" The ereole nodded, still smiling pleasantly, the blue smoke curling lastly up from the end of his cigarette. Evidently the two were actively engaged in taking my measure, and this was to be a case of man against man, rather than the exercise of any delegated authority. I might as well throw my commission into the fire for any real value it possessed here. All right; I had met and attended to their kind before. "I am delighted to understand the situation so clearly and quickly," I said, Bharply, throwing a note of authority into my voice and manner. "It simplifies my task. Now listen to me, Mr. Tuttle," giving him his formal title, "and you likewise, De Nova. I probably care as little for those papers as either of. you, but, nevertheless, 1 am in command. Do you both clearly comprehend that?—I am in command! It will be just as well for you n°t to attempt any horse-play. I am no dago sea-officer, but a North American sailor, and I didn't come crawling Into my first ship through a cabin window. I've tamed mutinous crews before now, and when I'm up against sea-scum I can hit as hard as the next fellow. If either of you desire to test my qualities as a buckomate, I'm here to accommodate you." Neither answered, but I read their conclusion in their eyes. "That's all I need to say now," I went on. "It's up to you to fish or cut bait. You fellows have nothing to gain by opposing me, and I hope you possess sense enough to know it. De Nova, where have I ever met you before?" The Creole's face instantly brightened again, his white teeth gleaming under the black mustache. "So monsieur remember," he lisped gently, leaning forward on the table. "I thought maybe you forget altogether 'bout zat time. But I know you at once w'en you come In. It make me laugh to see zis Yankee try bait you like you was a dago steamboater. Bah, I know you all right for sailor-man; I know you do business." "But I am unable to place you." "No, not yet; maybe you will w'en I say more." He spoke rapidly, gesticulating with excitement. "It was a little ship off Hatteras; ze storm five days, an' all wreck. It was a steamer, w'ite, wiss red stacks, zat took off ze crew, an' it was hell of a job. Zat was ze story, monsieur; I was mate of ze Cymbellne." I knew him then instantly, my memory picturing anew tha cold, gray dawn, the green, angry seas, the helpless, sodden hulk heaving sickenlngly to its death, and those water-drenched forms we hauled over the sinking rail into our tossing boat. I held forth my hand, and his brown fingers, hard as Iron, closed over it In a grip to be felt. "Sure, it's come back, mate," I said. "I rather guess I can count on you." His dark eyes met mine in frank honesty. "Running arms for the Cuban revolutionists then, weren't you?" I asked, indifferently. "What since?" He shrugged his shoulders, glancing across at Tuttle, and Angering his mustache. (TO BE CONTINUED.) No Compromise With Truth * - Absoluts Sincerity in AM Things Marks Men of Standing. Sincerity is made up of two words —sine and cere—sine, without, and cere, wax; without wax. And it means absolutely pure, transparent. The human mind is constructed for truth telling. This is its normal condition, and under the exercise of true living and true thinking the character becomes strong and robust Wholeness, completeness, comes into the life from truth, from sincerity; but the moment we attempt to twist the mind into expressing deceit it becomes abnormal and works all sorts of harm to the character. I have in mind a very brilliant writer who exobanges hts talent for cash in political campaigns. He has written some of the best campaign documents for all politics] parties, but the lack of sincerity in his character so discounts his personality and ability that he has no standing as a man. £.« is recognised a% a brilliant writer, but as a man totally without convictions. There is something in the mind itself which thrives upon sincerity and which protests against all that is false, against all sham. Nothing ever quite satisfies this longing but absolute truth. The mind quickly becomes sickly and weak when forced to express what is false.—Orison Swett Marden, in Success Magazine. Doesn't Attract.

SETTLEMENT. Recent advices from Canada, our neat door neighbour, the neighbourly country across the boundary line, are that upwards of ninety thousand settlers from the United States went into Western Canada during the past year, most of them for the purpose of taking up and settling upon the vacant lands, 160 acres of which are given free by the government, and lands adjoining held by railway and land companies are selling at from nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per acre. Even if thirty and forty dollars per acre were paid, the price would be low, as the lands produce wonderfully, and at these higher figures there is a large interest on the money and labor invested. The ninety thousand settlers of last year, followed about sixty thousand of the previous year, and for several years the number has been running into these large figures. There must be a reason for it. It may be found in the single phrase, "they are satisfied." Nothing attracts people, more than the success of others, and. the news of this reaching other thousands, causes them to investigate. The investigation in this, case is always satisfactory. The splendid land of Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and other States has risen to a high value, and it is worth every dollar asked for it. But there is not room now for all on these lands. With the ever increasing demand for grain, there comes the ever increasing demand for land. Canada is the only country on the continent In a position to supply it. Land there that costs, say fifteen dollars an acre, produces on a reasonable calculation, 25 bushels of wheat to the acre, or about $20.00. The most liberal calculation as to cost makes the cost to produce $7.50 per acre, leaving a balance of $12.50 per acre. The $7.50 carries good wages for the farmer, and all other conceivable contingencies. With conditions like this, covering the entire area of about 500,000 square miles, it Is readily understood why 90,000 Americans should follow the sixty thousand of the previous year. Canadian Government Agencies at different points in the Union are always ready to give information regarding the free homestead lands, ready to advise the settler as to the districts which would suit him best.

Figures -on Telegraph and Telephone, Express and Car Companies Also Made Public—Total State Tax S5V 929,304.89. Saturday morning the tentative assessment of railroad companies was announced, and It is generally expected that for the next tew weeks the tax commission will be compelled to entertain clamoring: railroad representatives who have tales of woe to relate* and seek to have the valuation reduced. It Is safe to say that the kicks will be loud and long in nearly every instance, as the assessments have .been tilted considerably above last year's figures. Last year the assessed valuation of the railroad companies amounted to 1207,305,000, while this year's figures show it to be $214,190,000, an increase of 16,885,000. The average rate per $1,000 In 1908 was $18,005, while for 1909 it Is $20.67, an increase of $2,- 665. There has been an Increase in the state tax over 1908 of $1,754,971.09. In 1907 it was $4,886,742.37, and in 1908 it was $4,194,333.80. This year the figures are $5,929,304.89. The assessed valuation of real estate has increased $32,490,341 over a year ago, and of personal property $5,993,945. The Ann Arbor railroad Is assessed at $7,700,000, which is a reduction of $31,000; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, $3,875,000. an Increase of $75,- 000; Chicago & Northwestern, $11,- 950,000, an increase of $100,000; Copper Range, $2,600,000, an increase of $7,000; Detroit & Mackinac. $4,600,000, sn Increase of $35,000; Grand Rapids & Indiana remains the same, $11,000,- 000; Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, $18,637,000, an increase of $750,- 000; Michigan Central, $54,550,000. an increase of $2,947,500; Pere Marquette, $31,025,000, an increase of $2,325,000; Mipneapolis. St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie, $6,650,000, an increase of $25,000; Duluth, South Shore & At'antic. $9,- C00,000, a decrease of $75,000; Grand Trunk. $25,050,000, an increase of $350,000. MICHIGAH BRIEFS. Drys Win In Kent County. There will be a local option election in Kent county in April. Final and decisive settlement of this question was reached when the supervisors, by a vote of 36 to 9, adopted a resolution that an election be held according to the demand of the Bigners of the local option petitions. The sentiment of the board was ascertained when a vote was taken on the question of adopting the minority report, It was evident that the drys predominated, and the vote stood 28 to 17 in favor of accepting the report. This was the true test, for when the vote was taken on the subject of submission many switched their votes and Jumped on the prohibition band wagon. Few Claims on the Fund. Tn the state treasury there is $98,- 450, known as state bounty fund, which was created by an act of the legislature of 1891, and originally contained $100,000. The appropriation was made for the purpose of paying claims against the state, dating from the beginning of the civil war,„ but apparently there are only a few of these which have been presented to the auditor-general. as the fund has not been touched since May, 1907, when $200 was paid out. Before the legislature of 1891 ereated the bounty fund accounts were paid from the general fund upon the approval of the auditor-general, but 'the lawmakers decided that It would be a better plan to create a special fund, and they placed It sufficiently high so that It would never be overdrawn. Many of the entries made in the ledger page used for the purpose prior ito 1891 contain many interesting accounts. In 1887 a bill was paid for a team of oxen which was killed by a train, transporting a company of volunteers to Detroit. It is probable that unless more iwoads are made upon this fund during the next few years, It will be erased from the ledger and again placed In the general fund. Would Make Corporations Pay. A suggestion will be made at the next legislature by the state railroad commission for an amendment to the law giving the commission supervisory power over the public service corporations, which will require that class of corporations to aid in the maintenance of the department. It Is proposed that, when a corporation asks for the authority to issue stocks and bonds and an investigation of the project Is necessary that the interested corporation be required to pay a eertain sum to cover the cost of the investigation.

John W. Hatfield, aged 85, a civil war veteran and a resident of Michigan since the state wore short dresses, is dead at his home in Niles. He came to Niles by ox-team in 1830, and operated the first keel boat on the St. Joseph river. The J. W. Wells Lumber Co., of Menominee, has been dissolved, and in its place has been organised the J. W. Wells Flooring Co., which will operate the largest factory in the world for the manufacture of hardwood flooring. It was announced at the Grand Trunk shops that 2,000 new automobile'cars were to be built and that a larger crew of workingmen would be secured. The cars are longer than an ordinary freight car and have doors on each end instead of on the sides. Five hundred Foresters and many friends gathered at the Majestic theater, Port Huron, to pay tribute of respect to Elliott G. Stevenson, supreme chief ranger of the Independent Or der of Foresters. Mr, Stevenson was presented with a silk umbrella and a set of diamond cuff links. At a meeting of the directors of the Western Michigan Development bureau at Traverse City, new articles of incorporation were adopted providing for a board of ten directors. The old officers were re-elected and a committee was appointed to draft bylaws. A vigorous campaign for 1910 was outlined. State Sanitary Engineer Thomas S. Alnge is the man chosen by the state to go to Germany, at the expense of the Caro and Blissfleld sugar companies, to Investigate the methods in use there to dispose of waste materials from the sugar factories without killing fish in the streams. With W. H. Wallace, of Saginaw, general manager of the Michigan Sugar Co., Ainge will leave about Feb. 1 for a two months' stay in the old country. In the state treasury there is $98,- 450, known as state bounty fund, which was created by an act of the legislature of 1894, and originally contained $100,000. The appropriation was made for the purpose of paying claims against the state, dating from the beginning of the civil war, but apparently there are only a few of these which have been presented to the auditor-general, as the fund has not been touched since May, 1907, when $200 was paid out. Following the police raids of 1SE> week on places where gambling war, found to be going on in Benton Har bor, four warrants were served on th*: proprietor of the Pflester pool rooiA and the Lion saloon. Selling liquor in a pool room, keeping saloon ,open on a holiday and gambling are tht? charges brought on evidence secureC by Mayor Beits. The latter has announced that he will be a candidate for re-election In the spring, ready tc abide by the decision of the people on iiis strict law enforcement plat form.

Incidentally taking 10 cent* per mile from his county for the traveling made necessary. A new building was started on the foundation of the old, but the supervisors disagreed and the incomplete building was given a temporary and poor roof. Now, 11 is said, this roof is leaking badly, ruining the walls of the structure and the interior, and though there is $2,800 in the treasury the supervisor? will not allow it to be used for repair ing the roof. LAMPHERE CONFESSED. helped Mrs. Qunness to Kill and Bury Her Victims. • Ray Xarophera, who died recent!J n the Indiana penitentiary at. Michigan City, whl'e serving * term for letting fire to the home of Mrs, Belle 3unnesi, near Laporte, Ind., and canning the death of the arch-niurderett, her three children and a hired girl, left a confession that he had been an accomplice of the vch-murdareea who lured 20 men to her home under promise of marriage, robbed them and then killed them, burying their bodies In her grounds. Lamphere's confession, which is published in the Post' Dispatch, wan made as he lay at the point of death. He said he assisted Mrs. Gunneen in disposing of the bodies of three of her many victims. Lamphere said he saw one of the men killed ana that he aided in burying all three. These men were Andrew Helgeleln and probably Ole Budsberg and Tonness Petersen Lien. Lamphere said be thought be had received as much money for his part in disposing of the bodies as he considered himself entitled to and that he went to the farmhouse at night with a woman, chloroformed Mrs. Gunness, her three children and Jennie Olson, the hired girl, and robbed the house of between $60 and $70. The light they used was a candle and they left the house without know* lng they had left behind a spark that soon burst into flames. Mrs. Gunness' method of killing her victims, Lamphere said, was to first chloroform them as they slept and then, if the drug did not itself kill, to sever their heads with an ax. WIRELETS. ?]W After a six months' tie-up because of low water, packet service to Louisville, Cincinnati and New Orleans from Pittsburg was resumed on the Ohio river. Lieut. Daniel E. Shean. of the Sixteenth infantry, who disappeared from his command at Fort Leavenworth, Kan,, more than three months ago, has been dropped from the rolls of the army. The Boston Young Men's Christian association building, at the corner of Boylston and Berkeley streets, in the Back Bay district, was destroyed by fire early Thursday. The loss will exceed $200,000. The latest convert to the ranks of the Buffragettes is Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, the New York and Newport so- I ciety leader. She says her conversion was effected by the eloquence of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont. Willard J. Crawford, real estate man, former Republican leader in Cleveland, partner of former Gov. Myron T. Horrlck, and close friend of the late Senator Hanna, died at his home Thursday, aged 51 years. Death was caused by cancer.

Then the slide of the general delivery window ; was pushed up, suddenly revealing in a sJohVof light the head an4.shoulders or a young woman. It was a startling frame for any face; that of the girl dealing-out letters might have .nested as an Illuminated saint of the modern art This girl looked a dreamer, an Idealist, a soul In its last chrysalis, and not for a- moment the postmistress of a Missouri village, almost within sight of the smoke of Kansas City. Yet she. was horn and bred there, and her little journey into the world had been no further than to St Louis. Her father, Attorney Culver, had been a gentleman, a scholar, and a procrastinating lawyer, with a mania for taking the measurement of his clients' heads and deducing their ancestral race. When her mother, who had been a patient Invalid, died, the father followed, erratically, as was his went, his last thought a belief that his doctor's head showed distinct tracery of the tribes of northern Asia. No provision was left The judge secured for her the modest government office. Her name was Catharine. Above all other traits was her comprehensive and sensitive intuition that la the flower of simple living and the sometime gift of grief. The first rush to the window expended Itself precipitately, the bulk of the mall was soon distributed, and the crowd thinned gradually away. Then the door opend again and a man entered. He stalked up to the window/ He was big, he was blocked out In angular lines, as the- muscular Britisher is; he was red and bronzed, somewhat bulbous eyed;, his clothes were a mystery of rough tweed. When he spoke, his voice was a pleasant scenic railway of English inflections. "Br—have yon anything for Capt Graceland—er—I should say, Capt. Vivian Oraceland?" "QrAceland—er-—Q, you know," the man said patiently. She was studying the B*s. She-smiled frankly. A sense of humor brings its own self-possession. "It might have been H, the way f the English apell names," she replied, impulsively. "How did you know I was English?" The question was humorous. She glanced through the letters quickly. "There Is nothing for you," she anwered, decisively. He felt a rebuke. - "Thanks," he said, raising his hat slightly, and stalked out "Have you got anything for m e f It was the HigginsvlUe voice. She thought Jrfje could measure the Infinite difference between this and the other. i , "Not to-night, Jim." 1 "You haven't looked." The Hlgginsville voice bent Itself to near a woman's gentleness. Catharine took the mail once more. She found a letter for Jim Wilson. He lingered a jnomest, then left, twinging away with the Inevitable grace of a'great strength and a glorious youth. When Catharine closed the office and started home, she mef him going in the same direction, and he guarded her to her gate. He had waited an hour In the cold for this.

Several times be went to Texas, to S t Louis, to Kansas City, but he returned with as little, delay as possible. He sent Catharine books and boxes of roses. She had never owned anything so lovely in her life. Then he went up to Kansas City for a week. Telegrams came for him, which Jim's best friend received with long and tuneless whistles, it got about somehow— such news invariably' does, and in Higginsville a telegram and a postal card were public property. A crowd in the postofflce discussed it before mail opened. "It never would er been found out on him, if he hadn't been dealin' with er Missouri fool 'at hadn't no more sense than to tellygraf him about it." ' "He's er plum rascal, that's the truth." "That is not true." The side door of the mallroom opened. Catharine stood in the threshold, breathless. There was a heavy quiet. "No, howdy you know?" asked Cy Baker. "Because he is a gentleman, not a thief; because I am his only friend \ here, and must speak for him," she replied. "No, he ain't ccme 'round you fer no good; we seen that all the time," put in another woman. "What's hisl intentions towards you, I'd like to know?" "I think there can be no doubt of my Intentions to Miss Culver, when I state that I asked her last night to be my wife." The Englishman had entered. His voice was the cold, polished tool of the world. Catharine raised her face and looked at him unseeingly. Then she shut the door and delivered the evening mall. He was waiting for her when she had finished, and without a word led her to the yellow bluff along the river. A silver Blip of moon hung over the girdling distances beyond. "I have not been true to much in my life," he said, after a tense pause. His eyes were looking past all springtime. "But I will be true now to you. I have been—culpably weak—I care for you, you know—I am not free to ask you to give me yourself. I am married." "I understand," she answered—each pause widened the boundaries between them—"it was a kind lie at the last. I thank you for it, and for the truth. Good-by." Jim found her at home an hour later. "'Thrine," he said, "I've come to ask you if you're goin' away." "No, I am not going," she answered thoughtfully. **I did believe this wasn't the place for you, somehow," he continued, "you always seemed to me like a white rose it an old brown clay bowl, here. } have loved you ever since the first time I noticed the blue of the sky ah^ the green of the trees, an' everything that was good in me has followed the, whisper of your name.

Curious to state, prejudice keep* us out of more good things than does lack of opportunity. We often pass by an article of merit because the price is low. The same article at double the price would find us eager to try It. K C Baking Powder sella for one-third thf price of the Baking Powders controlled by the "Trust." Yet K C is guaranteed the Best Baking Powder at any price. The ladies of this city who have seen what K C Baking Powder will do prefer It to any other. They are only too glad to save their money and get a better article. It's the difference hetween "Trust" prices and those ot fair, honest competition. A 26 ounce can of K C Baking Powder fof 25 centa,—and your money returned if you don't like it better.
