One such is nut croquettes, very unuHual sad dainty, tuade thus: Grate enough second-day brpad to make two cupfuls, chop In tbe meat chopper or the nut mljl one and onethird cupfuls of shelled English walnuts. Stir these together in a basin with a small piece of butter, a tablespoonful of grated onion Juice and a tablespoonful of mace Melt in a skillet aue lurge teaspoonful of butter, with half a teaspoonful of flour; add slowly one cup,of sweet milk. Allow this to boil, then add the other ingredients with salt to taste. Add a beaten egg and. when removed from the fire, a teaspoonful of lemon Juice. Mix thoroughly and turn upon a platter to cool Roll into balls or cones Dip in egg and bread crumbs as usual and fry in deep fat. Serve with tomato sauce Stuffed Peppers.—Have as many stuffed peppers fis there will be guests. Cut a lid from the top of each, shave off the stem and smooth with a sharp knife. Extract th* seeds and the tough membrane with a small knife having a sharp point. Then rinse and drain. Stuff them with a force-meat made as directed for cnrpiettes in the above recipe, cover the top with bread crumbs and arrange in a baking pan with a dot of butter on each, and just enough butter to prevent burning and brown nicely. Serve with brown sauce. Dumpling Desserts.—To .some young people this dessert is the chef d'ouvre of the household repertoire. Either canned or stewed fruit is available. the juicier the better Berries are especially good If any one has compunctions as to marring the perfection of raspberries or strawberries by stewing them, the hint may be preserved for huckleberries and blackberries, which are delicious as a compote. Stew or rather simmer the berries until tender When done add 'fugar enough to make them pleasantly Hweet, but do not stir after addingthis, as it would cause the sugar to candy. Keep them hot over a low flame and turn into the saucepan a dumpling made of milk, flour, sugar, one egg and baking powder. The proportions of the dumpling vary according to the size of the puree. For one of medium size begin with a cup of fVuir, to which stir in enough milk to forUn a thick hatter. Add one egg. two tablespoonfuls of sugar, a generonsMenspoonful of baking powder. Mix thoi/Highly and turn into the steaming puree' Cover closely and cook for 20 minutes without lifting the lid. To serve, reyarse the ekIT 1 et over the compote, Wiien the dumpling will be underneath wfth the fruit under and around it, Or. in making it. the dumpling bntter may be put In by the spoonful to form small dumplings. Canned peaches, cherries, etc., are nice In this way. When using them It. is frequently necessary to add a little water to the juice from the can, as a good quantity of syrup is necessary to boil the dumplings. New Peche Melba.—A variation of the celebrated "Perhte Melha" is possible even out of frosh fruit season. Simmer some good' canned peaches until tender in their syrup, with the addition of a little sufcar and flavored with rum. Place a portion of vanilla cream on\eaeh saucer o r i n ^ a c h sherbet glass? add io this one-htelf peach with the follow left by thve stone turned ^ip Fill the hollow with whi-pped cream and surround the whole wjtff raspberry syrup.

Under the direction of Attorney General Wlckersham, preparations for t h e raid had been conducted with the greatest secrecy. Government detectives, determined to make a Bucctas of the first federal attack on stock gambling, had obtained evidence by tapping wires leading to the offices of the implicated brokers and largely upon this testimony were based the indictments preceding the raid.

"No Such Man in Europe." Col. Theodore Roosevelt talked briefly with newspaper correspondents shortly after his arrival in Naples.

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE "When our baby was seven weeks old he broke out with what we thought was heat, but which gradually grew worse. We called in a doctor. He said it was eczema and from that time we doctored six months with three of the best doctors- in Atchison but he cfnp> got .Worse. His face, head and fcands, were a solid sore. There was a© e.»jdto^,the.suffering for him. We % a d M o tie his little hands to keep n l » from scratching. He never knew,'Whit it was to steep well from thg'ttW^lfcrtodk t h e dfs**se ufitil he was cured. He kept us awake all hours.',of the night and his health wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing. "Finally I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies and I am pleased to say we did not use all of them until he was cured. We have waited a year and a half to see if it would return but It never has and to-day his skin is clear and fair as it possibly could be. I hope Cuticura may save some one else's little ones suffering and also their pocket-books. John Leason, 1403 Atchison St., Atchison, Kan., Oct. 19, 1909." In Demand.

Finally a gruff voice asked: " 'Where's that fool that put it to sleep this afternoon, I wonder?' " Money and expense are not essential to artistic homes and attractive rooms. One dollar nnd fifty cents' worth of material will completely transform a crude, inartistic: room into a graceful, dainty apartment. Really it is good taste and skill that makes the h»me homelike. That dainty touch i.s worth twice as much as money. Wall paper i* expensive—it costs money to buy it, to hun>j it and again to remove it. With the u>se of the alahastined wall there is only the slight cost of the material--any one can brush it on—and it is not necensnry to wash il off the wall when-- a fresh coat is required. It ia very easy to mix, very simple to apply, but the results are simply beautiful. ' A whole house can be done at just a little move than the cost of a single room when ordinary materials are used. And this is true, that now that we have PO much better materials- for use in the decoration of our homes, that wall paper, common kalsomine and paint are now as much out of date as the old time whitewash, tallow candles and rough hewn floors."

EXCELLENT TRADE IN WESTERN CANADA SPLENDID CROP8, Bf<3 PRICES, AND PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE. Throughout all of Canada, and especially in the Western Provinces of Canada, there is a buoyancy in every line of-business t h a t is fully warranted by every condition. T h e crops of the past year were what was expected, * n d t h e pricey for grain of all kinds, put the farmers in a class by themselves. Many of them are independent, a n d many others have got well started on the road- The latest reports are t h a t seeding is well under way in almost every district, and the prospects are that a vastly larger area than t h a t under crop last year will be seeded early this spring. In the Lethbridge district, in Southern Alberta, steam and gasoline outfits, hundreds of them, a r e breaking up the prairie at a tremendous pace, but they work night and day. As soon as it becomes dark, gangs are changed, a head light attached, and on, on through the night until the first streak of dawn, these giant monsters with their seven or eight gangs of breaking plows, keep up the work. Then the more modest farmer is putting in the longest hours possible with bis teams of horses or oxen. And what will the Country be like in August, when these fields have become yellowed with the literally golden grain. T h e r e will be one vast expanse of wheat field. And there will be a market for it, because it is the best grain grown, and the demand will be everywhere. As previously intimated business throughout Western Canada is sound and good. The grain production of 1909 has been the great factor in establishing the reputation of Western Canada, and it is worth talking about. It surpassed all previous records, both in regard to quality and quantity, and such an achievement was by no means easy. The limit has not been reached, and a large average increase may be expected during the next ten years. There will be odd seasons when a falling-off will occur, and it is the falling- off that causes alarms and panics in the commercial world. The plains have clone their duty so far in the out-put of grain and it would be reasonable to make occasional allowances for slowing-up. The faster the rate of increase is now, the sharper will be the check when the production diminishes, Hut there are some unreasonable people who wonder why the growth of one year is not continued during the next, and at an even faster rate. These same unreasonable people are the ones who see flaws in the situation as soon as an indication is given that the startling advances have not been maintained. A Call for Cough Drops. "I tell you I must have some money," roared the king of Maritania, who was in sore financial straits. "Somebody will have to cough up."

LADNESS COMES- m» *m a * With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many physical ills which vanish before proper efforts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of illness are not due to any actual disease, but simply to a,constipated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative. Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact that it is the only remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is, therefore, all-important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to purchase and note that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only. It is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts gently yet promptly on the kidneys, liver and bowels, cleanses the system effectually, dispels colds, headaches and fevers and assists in overcoming habitual constipation permanently, also biliousness and the many ills resulting therefrom. The great trouble with all other purgatives and aperients is not that they fail to act when a single dose is taken, but that they act too violently and invariably tend to produce a habit of body requiring constantly augmented doses. Children enjoy the pleasant taste and gentle action of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the ladies find it delightful and beneficial whenever a laxative remedy is needed, and business men pronounce it invaluable, as it may be taken without interfering with business and does not gripe nor nauseate. When buying note the name, California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package. Price, 5 0 cents a bottle. ^ S S W i a J The Overland mmmmmm—m m—mmmm—mm—m—mmmmmm The King of Cars No other car has so large a sale—none has made such amazing records. Price, $1,000 up. It requires four factories, employing 4,000 men—turning out 140 Overlands daily—to meet the Mood-like demand for these cars. Yet two years ago a hundred rivals had a larger ?\i!e. The leason lies largely in the car's utti't f-Lnplicity. Its able designer made, it almost trouble-proof. lie created an engine which, for endurance, is the marvel of engineering. He designed the pedal control. One goes forward or backward, slow or fust, by merely pushing pedals. The hands have nothing to do but steer. A child can master the car in ten minutes. A novice can drive it ;» thousand miles without any thought ol* trouble. Tbe Overland always keeps going. and almost cares for itself. All the usual complexities have been eliminated. That is why each oar sells others, and our orders for this year's Overlands amount to $2 t,000,000. Another fact is that no other car gives nearly so much for the money. This is due to our enormous output, and the fortunes Invested in our automatic machinery, it would bankrupt a smaller maker to try to compete with us.

[Copyright, 1909, by American Press Aaeociatlon.] It was visitors' day at Ludlow street Jail, New York. Ludlow street jail Is • very gentle counterpart of the debtors' prison of the olden time. Its inmates are those in contempt of the inheritance and certain other courts, federal bankrupts, execution and judgment debtors and breach of promise gs**- alimony men. J#|m Decker had finished bis break- Isaljtv of rolls, coffee and an egg—he , M N I have breakfasted more heartily had he been able to' order from a neighboring restaurant—and was sitting in the lounging room reading a morning paper when a card was handed him. He looked at it, frowned and said: "I understood when I was put in here that no prisoner was obliged to see his wife. Tell the sheriff that I claim the Immunity promised." The message was delivered, and presently the sheriff himself appeared. "Your wife says, Mr. Decker, that she has come with the olive branch, and she told me to say in case you declined to receive her that she has your son Johnny with her and wishes to know if you will see him." The hard lines on Decker's face relaxed. "Yes, if you wilt bring him In here." The sheriff retired, and in a few mimites a ,boy of six came bounding Into the room and, springing into his father's arms, covered his face with kisses. They were returned in kind, while a tear stood in the man's eye. "Mamma gave me a message for you, papa. She says she was told that you were hiding money." "Who told her that?" "Mrs. Spiffire." "That Jezebel! She made all the trouble." •'And mamma says I was sick and baby was sick, and she was turned out of the rooms,, and nothing to buy meat or medicines, and"— The man put his hand on the boy's mouth. "Never mind all that. Johnny. I can't bear It." ''And mamma says she's been studying stenography and has got a place. She doesn't wish you to stay here any longer" "What does she wish me to do?" "First to forgive her for putting ymt in here." ''What next?" "I wish you to come home." "Johnny, dear, I wish I could do both, but 1 can do neither." "Not for me, poppy? Please do—just for me, you know." "Very well; I'll do the first for you." "And you'll come home?" "No: T can'i do that." "Oh, pop, please do!" "There will be time enough to consider that in the future." "No, there won't. Mamma says— But 1 wasn't to tell you." "Tell me what?" "That it'll be too late then." "Oh, it will be too late! In other words, she must dictate just when a reconciliation may take place." "What's that?" "Make it up." "No, that isn't it. I know why, but ] won't tell. Mamma says you're so proud. That's one reason." "I don't understand, Johnny." "Mamma says if I tell you you'll never come home. You must come home without knowing." The father studied the boy's face musingly for a time and at last said: "Well, Johnny, I could never refuse you anything. I'll forgive your mother if or putting me in here, and I'll come home.'' wherever that may be. I suppose it's In a dirty garret. But tell your mother that 1 won't permit her to do the work for the family. I know where I can get $10 a week as porter. It's pretty hard to take such a place after having employed a hundred men myself, but I've learned that what can't be cured must be endured." "Oh, poppy!" The boy threw his arms spasmodically around his father's neck, gave him a quick hug and kiss, jumped down and ran away to announce the success of his mission. It was several days after this before the red tape that held John Decker in prisorh for not paying his wife her alimony was cut and he walked out a free man. The hour was 5 In the afternoon. Boarding an elevated train, be started for an address uptown that had been given him as the abode of his wife and children. Leaving the train, be pawed down a cross street. Coming to the number that had been given him as bis family abode, he concluded there had been a mistake. The place was a haftdsome apartment house. At the elevator be asked the uniformed boy if he knew where Mrs. Decker lived. "Fifth floor," replied the boy. WondeHntftF^tex-prlsoner entered the elevator, ant! w.hen Jt stopped Johnny's eyes were gllnteuli!:.' through the grating. In another moment a reunited family were clinging in one embrace. Mrs. Decker's money had been invested in ber husbund's business. One of the largest debtors to the firm who bad contributed principally to the failure had astonished Mrs, Dicker by paying her his debt, a fortune in Itself. She wisely brought about a reconciliation with her husband before he knew that she was independent, knowing that after he was aware of it his position would be very different. Then? followed a happy reunion dinner. Ladies Finrtl "Scratch a southerner and you find a knightly soul" might be said to be one of the morals of the Chicago Record- Herald story below. The second moral is reasonably obvious: "What Is the reason," began the irritated traveler from the north, '^tbat the trains in this part of the country are always behind time? I have never seen one yet that ran according to its schedule." "That suh," replied the dignified Georgian, "is a mattab that is easily explained. It is due to southern chivalry, suh." "Southern chivalry! Where does that come in?" "You see. suh, the trains are always late in this country because they wait for the ladles, God bless them!"

Both were captains of the general staff. The general came up to a group of gentlemen, one of whom was one of the brothers. After joining in the conversation he said to the latter: "Just tell me who is that tall officer near the fireplace on the other side. I forget his name." "That's my brother, your excellency." was the answer. A smile stealing over the general's face suggested the idea that he had not obtained the information he .wished. Some time after the general went to another group ot people and there Joined the officer whose name he had inquired. Suddenly the others saw him turning away, with the same smile on his face. Afterward, when they inquired from the young officer what the general had asked him. he replied: "He asked me who that officer was over there." "And what did you say?" "I said that he was my brother?" The general gave up inquiring the name of the two brothefts for that evening. CJTATK or MIOHIQAV.

"The little dear!" said a good sister as she went up to give him a "God bless you" and a pat on the head. But just as her hand was descending with that benediction a very wrathful and unangelic countenance was turned upon her, a pugilistic little fist delivered a paralyzing blow on her biceps. and the indignant Tommy exclaimed. "You git away from here!" Of course he was l°d out in disgrace and questioned by his horrified mother. "Why, don't you know she would 'a' rubbed all the baptizing water off before it would 'a' had time to soak In?" explained Tommy, who from his point of view was fully justified.—Los Angeles Times.

Possibly, on reflection, the university will devote the fund to the training of "angels"—of men who for one of several reasons are willing to spend money for the bringing out of plays—and players.

His majesty personally could take no part in the controversy now raging in his realm, but when he said that proposals would be laid before the legislators "to secure the undivided authority of the house of commons over finance and its predominance in legislation," and that this was "the opinion of my advisers," it Indicated that the house of lords is to have its wings clipped If •:>ms: • Mb* government Is to have its way.

SHIPPERS ARE NOT ANXIOUS TO PURCHASE AND FARMERS ARE TOO BUSY TO COME Y o TOWN. Last Month Was the Hottest March In Forty Years, According to Observations Taken at Detroit. Reports reaching Lansing say that the price paid for potatoes throughout the state at the present time la the lowest known in many years. The prevailing market price ranges from 8 to i!0 cents and indications are that this will be reduced before the end of the season. Farmers around Lansing are feeding their potatoes to their stock rather than haul them to the local market at the prevailing figure. Thousands of bushels of Ingham county tubers will be sliced up for this purpose. The present price there is 20 cents. Last fall many dealers in the county were offered as high as 75 cents a bushel, but they pitted their product pending a rise in the market. Many bushels of these will be removed from the pits this spring at a great financial loss, by both shrinkage and decay. Shippers are paying 12 cents a bushel for potatoes at Stanton. They are not anxious to buy even at that figure, as they declare that th£ stock is hard to get rid of. Either for a rise in the market or becauBe they are busy with their spring work, the farmers in that section are withhold ing their product. The visible supply in the hands of the growers is far above the normal amount at ..is time of the year, and it is reported that marketable potatoes are being fed in large quantities to live stock. Potatoes at Traverse City are still quoted at ten cents per bushel with buyers not anxious to take them and farmers not eager to sell. Thursday there was only one load brought to the local market, but the farmers are busy with their spring work and will not bother with the tubers at the lowprice. It is estimated that 50,000 bushels of potatoes are stored in local warehouses, the storage charge being five cents a bushel. There are probably 115,000 bushels in the hands of growers, and with but six weeks of the season remaining it is estimated that not over 40 per cent of the crop has been sold, At drawn, ten miles away, the price is X cents. Hackiey Fortune Underestimated. That the immense estate of the late Chaa. H. Hackiey, Muskegon's philanthropist, . was far underestimated when its value was placed at about $1:1,000,000. is shown by the fitlh annual accounting just filed with Pro bate Judge Prescott. During the year the trustees handed over $1,100,000 in legacies to various sources, while the estate's income during that time was nearly $000,000. If the Earnings of the estate continue such as they were last year it will take nearly 20 years to dispose of the immense fortune as the Hackley will directed. Of this amount, ahout $1,250,000 will go to the school^ nearly $2,000,000 to the Erie L. Smith fund, over that sum to Thomas Hume and a like amount to Charles M. Hackiey, Muskegon's blind millionaire, who. however, ran only use the Interest of the money, the principal going to his children. The southern state holdings of timber, the last purchases made by Mr. Hackiey before his death, have already realized several hundred per cent upon the money invested, and the land is hut half dis posed of at the present time. •<•••*•»*•** « iwoflivMN^wvtVRP-^v^^l^eqMPMeeM****** NEWS OF MICHIGAN.

In Whrch I Again Come to Command. Dade awoke me, the gray light of I he Antarctic day streaming in through the porthole. "I pounded on the door twice, sir," he explained, quickly, "hut you was sleopln' so hard I had to come In. Somethln' \s gone wrong in Mr. Tuttle's stateroom, sir." "Wrong! what do you mean?" "Well, sir a gun went off in there just now, an'—" 1 was already upon my feet, pulling on my clothes. "Run up on deck and ask De Nova to come down here at once. Lively now, my lad." The two had already roached the foot of the companion stairs when I came out, and Dade had. evidently made the situation clear to the mind of the Creole. "Have yon been In zare, monsieur?" he asked, anxiously. "No, not yet, but. I fear the worst, and thought it would be better for us to go together. Stand by, Dade, for we may need yon." The ex-whaleman was lying on the floor in a curled-up heap, a revolver resting beside him, perhaps a foot from his hand. The pungent odor of powder was still in the room. We turned him over, revealing a bullet wound just in front of the ear. Beyond all doubt he had shot himself while sitting upon the edge of the bunk, and had tumbled forward, dead before he struck the deck. I glanced toward De Nova, .who stood staring silently down at the dead man, and at Dade, almost yellow with terror, peering cautiously in through the open door. "He is beyond further trouble," 1 •aid, solemnly. "The poor devil. Help me lift him back into his berth." Dade held aloof, hut De Nova took hold with me, and together we straightened out the body, covering it decently with a sheet. Then we passed out into the main cabin "and closed the door. "What sort of weather have we outside, Mr. De Nova?" I questioned, e deavoftng to quell the beating of m> heart, \ r , "Clear an' col', momteur, ze win' nor'weat.'.'r "Then WO are holding our course?" "Oui, ouf/' gesticulating, "but w£t we do nowY'W'at we do now?" "Well, that depends entirely upon you and the crew." I returned, shortly. "Mr. Tuttle is dead, beyond res*]}. 1 fcrt.tf -. am the only competent navigator left on board. For the sake of my own life, a t well as the safety of those women in our care, I propose assuming #smmaa<L Have yo* anything to say?" * The creole stood motionless, grasping the edge of the table, his black eye* still fastened on Tuttle's closed door. "Well, you bad better decide," I went on, stoutly, "and anyway the only thing for us to do is to put this matter, straight before the crew. Keep quiet about what has happened until after breakfast—you, too, Dade—and then have the whole crew piped aft. Go on about your work until then, and keep y w ton*ua* t*ill." 1 sett dew n~on the divan, watchlisg pari* as he bustled about from the table to the pantry, ever casting fur* live glances toward the Bilent stateroom in which the dead man lay. Finally I got up, and, to Dade's horror, re-entered the mate's room, returning with the chart upon which our course had been pricked up until noon of the previous day, and spread it out across my knees. I was still engaged in studying it when Lady Darlington, fully dressed, emerged from her cabin. She touched me before I was even aware of her presence. ' "Is Mr. Tuttle still 111?" she questioned, anxiously, "and have you been on duty all night?" "TbV first officer: is dead," I answered, and made her sit down beside me. "I will tell you all the facts." She listened silently, her breath quickened from excitement, her face colorlesB. 1 dwelt upon the man's mental condition, his ghostly hallucinations, my discovery of hixn In the main cabin, and his, final mad act of " T o H—I Wid That jSort 0' Rot, Mr. Stephens—We're Sailor-Men." self-destruction. The very relating of the tragic story served to clear my own mind and strengthen my resolve. "What—what will this mean to us?" she questioned, her lips trembling. "Will it release us from our bondage? Will it result in abandoning this crazy search after treasure?" "Honestly I do not know, Lady Darlington," I acknowledged with reluctance. "The present attitude of the crew remains to he discovered. Practically we are as helpless as before. My one advantage lies in the fact that I am the only navigator on board. Yet they have power to compel me to do their will, T cannot battle against them alone." "But. you no longer believe in Tuttle's story?" "I never have really believed it. But this is not a question of what 1 believe; it all hangs upon the faith of the men forward." "Rut if they" realize he was insane, surely they must also decide that his treasure ship was likewise a delusion." I shook my head, gravely doubting her conclusion. "I regret to say I possess no such expectation. The average sailor, Lady Darlington, is not given to reasoning; he Is more a creature of impulse. 1 fear we are already too close to our goal to now be turned back by the mate's death. The men will insist on completing the voyage. I intend to have the entire crew piped aft after breakfast, and will talk to them. 1 wish you to go on deck with me at the time, and hear all that is said." I paused, intently watching the expression of her face. "Whatever decision I may be driven to, I hope it will not forfeit me your respect." "Oh, no." "You will retain confidence in me, even if the bow of the Sea Queen continues to point southward?" She lifted her gray eyes to mine in nnshadowed frankness. ' Whatever you ihlnk best, Mr. Stephens, I shall believe to be right," she responded, softly. "Will my trust help you?" "It is the one thing needed. Thus armed I can fight It out." The meal following waa far from cheerful, although the bright sun streemed down through the decs; transom to fall iu golden bars along the table, as our thoughts would constantly t e o w to thai sliest ftgare lylac tft the near-by busk, while our conversation was Israel? about him, and tfeft consequences of his death. Finally, bidding both mistress and maid prepare themselves for an early call to the deck, I went forward to the bridge, relieving De Nova while he descended to the main cabin for hit breakfast The crew had already completed their meal and swarmed out of the forecastle, apparently aware that something was in the wind. I noticed big Bill Anderson circulating among the various groups, talking earnestly, and felt convinced the crew waa endeavoring to-settle upon some united course of action. Brutal and unlearned as he waa, the boatswain waa a thorough sea-lawyer, understanding well how to lnflueuce his mates, and with enough at stake in this game to render him desperate. The second mate joined me. "Call all hands aft, Mr. De Nova," I said, after a glance into his face, "every man Jack of them, except the two at the wheel. I will talk to them from the rail/' I took my position there, with Lady Darlington and Celeste close at hand, butj&omewhat sheltered under the lee of the longboat from the stinging wind. The herd came shuffling aft, and ranged themselves awkwardly enough on the open deck. De Nova cast his eyes over them, counting, then climbed the short ladder and joined me. "All here, monsieur." Then lowered his voice. "Mapes was dead in ze fo'c'stle." "Mapes! Oh, he was the man who fell from the foreyard?" "Oui, an' it all makes ze crew feel scare'." I glanced at the group, and around at the stern vision of sea. Altogether it formed a dismal, disheartening picture— the men, bundled up in their heavy clothing, stamping their feet on the deck, their ragged beards forking k out, their eyes gleaming beneath the peaks of woolen caps drawn low, Ruffling impatiently, and occasionally fcving over to the rail to spit; the yacht, long battered by the seas, stripped of every unnecessary adornment, her hatches battened down, her funnel rusty, her sails close reefed, her forward deck a sheet of glistening ice, the sharp wind whistling through the frozen rigging as she staggered through a cold, gray, wintry sea, straining and groaning in every timber as the gleaming surges struck her quarter and the relentless wheel held her to the course. The whole view photographed itself indelibly upon my mind, and I clung to the rail, gazing about and down into tnose upturned faces below. "Men," I said, finally, shadowing my lips with one hand to keep the words from being blown away, "I am no sea orator, and what I have to say will be short. No doubt you know pretty well already what has happened on board during the night. All I need say is, that Mr. Tuttle is dead; he went crazy and shot himself. Now, the reason I called you aft is this. You are no regular articled crew, on an ordinary voyage between ports. None of you have signed papers, and you have no lawful officers to take charge. It happens I'm the only navigator on board, and so I've called you aft, after talking with Mr. De Nova about it, to get your ideas on what ought to be done. Some of you speak up until we can find out what your notions are." No one among them made any response, the long row of eyes staring dully up at me, the feet shuffling in uneasiness. "Come, Anderson, open up. You've been Bounding the men for an hour past. What's your plan?" Tho boatswain, thus directly singled out from the others, pushed his way to the front, glancing sideways intv the faces of his mates. "Well, we have talked ahout it a bit, Mr. Stephens, but I dunno as we've quite decided," his gruff voice borne to us on the wind. "How far are we from the Islands what Mr. Tuttle told about?" "Nearly 200 miles to the northwest." The big sailor cast his eyes over the side at the sea view, slowly turning the quid in his cheek. ' "An' the wind right. 'Tain't much of a run, sir, after what we've already had gettin' here. I recken you could find that p'int o' sea?" "Yes," I acknowledged, almost reluctantly. "I can find it, unless the ioe shuts us in first. But what's the use in taking such a chance, Anderson? Tuttle was probably just as crasy about that matter as he was over other things. To my mind he never saw any islands where he said he did. Government ships have surveyed all these waters again and again, and the charts show no land anywhere along that latitude. I'm for calling it a poor job, and turning back before we get nipped. Look where we are now; we haven't a mile of .clear water either ?#ie of ua, and a shift of wind will crnsh our sides like an eggshell." The silent men stared gloomily out at that grim expanse of sea. ice and sky. but Anderson only scowled np into my face, slapping his mittened hands together. "To hell wid that sort o' rot. Mr. Stephens," be broke forth, fiercely. "We're i-aBor-men, an' the most of u* have seen ice beiorf. This channel'* wide enough for the hooker, an' what the devil do we want more? Maybe the or man was a bit nutty, but he knew bow to sail ibes* seas, an' he-told a dam' straight .yarn about that Spanish ship, just the same, an' I'm for flndi»'*out whether or not it was a lie, Maynf there a i n t uo pesos awaitln* for us out yonder, but, by God, sir, I want to know It for sure. An' so do my mates. Now, you say we're within 200 miles of flndln' out the troth, an' I'm hanged if I'll consent to go back like a whipped cur without takin' even a squint along that latitude." Hq stamped on the deck, glowering about him like a mad bull, evidently daring the others to contradict. I leaned farther out over the rail. "Is that right, lads? Has Anderson spoken your sentiments? Do you really mean to proceed in this crazy search in spite of all that ice out yonder?" No voice responded, although I could hear the hoarse grumbling in their throats and see their headB shaking affirmatively. I turned toward the mate, who was standing just behind me. "The men are all tongue-tied. How is it with you, Mr. De Nova? Are you for further south, or a quick run home?" I noticed him glance across toward Celeste, crouching beneath the shelter of the longboat, her face showing white against the darker background. I even Imagined the girl lifted her hand as if in some form of signal; anyhow, the Creole smiled confidently, his jet mustaches clearly outlined against his cheek. "Wat I say, monsieur? Oh, oui, I was for get up ze steam in ze engine, and make a dash. By gar, maybe zare was ze monies to make us all rich. W'y not? Wiz ze steam we cheat ze Ice-field. Bah! I seen it worse as zat." "True," I urged in final effort, "but the season is wrong. We are driving south in the face of winter, the icepacks are forming, and not breaking up. I warn every one of you the chances are we'll be nipped." (TO B E CONTINUED.) R E M A I N S A L W A Y S S E A L E D BOOK. Mystery of Mentality Seems Designed to Be Hidden from Mankind. We say of one who has destroyed his life: "He must have been mentally unbalanced." Was he? What is the proof that comes from an action mere ly contrary to the ordinary rule of life? And what is balance? In every walk of life we meet with Hie unbalanced, or the mentally dying. The fanatic is the man with large mental force, but with only one outlet. He looks on the world through a single window, His salvation is to open many windows to Ms soul. The business man struggles with singleness of purpose. The student lives among the fancies of his brain. But extreme application brings the same results as extreme inattention. The rush of urban life and the desolation of the farm produce identical results. In a thousand persons the gradations from the extreme of brute physical domination to the extreme of nervous force are found, and all are susceptible to the unknown law which, without warning, extinguishes the inner light and leaves the afflicted groping in the darkness. Was poverty, ill health or dishonor confronting the hapless one? Did he hate the things that men desire, and was he about to lose them? Did any one of a thousand things impend which try men'scourage and test their powers of resistance and philosophy? And if we cannot find one of these tangible, material things, we shake our heads sagely and leave the ques tion unanswered. Why should it be unanswered? There are things we know and things we may not learn. And among the latter is the mystery of mentality. 1 U n I ' IN HOtTlTAL PO* « I N t MONTHS. London's Erudite Cabmen. The two cabmen authors who had just been brought to light deserve a place beside the erudite driver discovered by Sir Frederick Bridge. This cabman often drove Sir Frederick home from the Albert hall after the performances of the Royal Choral society, and one evening as he received his fare he astonished the eminent conductor by criticising the tempo at which he took some of the "Messiah" choruses on a previous occasion. This started a friendship between the musician and the cabman, and the former discovered in the latter a very solid foundation of musical knowledge and got to think highly of his opinions. On one occasion, indeed, the cabman asked him to perform a new oratorio by Perosi (which Sir Frederick had not. then .-teen) and offered to lend him a copy of the score —London News.

Mr. Lloyd George is pleasantly proud of his nationality, but It 1B amazing that he had to go back to Queen Elisabeth and the Tudor* to find historical precedence for a Welsh government of Great Britain. On the other hand, England has often been ruled by Scotsmen. Of the hut three premiers, two—Sir Henry Campbell- Bannerman and Mr. Balfour—were Scotch. Mr. Gladstone sat for a Scotch constituency, and so does Mr. Asqulth. Ireland has always been busy supplying us with , governing men. The duke of Wellington, Lard Roberts, Lord Charles Beresford, Lord Russell and a doien other* immediately occur to one. It is odd to remember that it is centuries since Great Britain had a purely English sovereign. The Tudors were Welsh. The Stuarts were Scotch,, William III. was a Dutchman and the Guelphs are of German descent.— London Chronicle. Love at First Sight. Friend—So yours was a case of love at first sight? Mrs. Getthere— Yes, indeed. I fell desperately in love with my dear husband the moment T sot eyes upon him. 1 remember it as distinctly as if it were yesterday.

Critics and Managers Clash. Between the whole press of Copenhagen and all the theatrical managers a curious contest has started because the managers want to compel the critics to write only favorable notices. The contest began when the board of theatrical managers forbade the admission of one critic representing a special theatrical paper. The Marine Naturalist. The Ancient Mariner told of shooting the albatross.

Certain Articles Must Be PrpvWed and the^ Accessories W i l l F o l l o w - Most Suitable Frocks for t h e Young Qirl. The young girl who cannot afford too many changes will be well supplied if she has a one-piece dress In a pretty wool of some sort, a pongee or tailored cotton dress, and a little top-coat In the new short length. Of course, there are other things to be desired—shirtwaists, hats and the dainty neck fixings now so essential to a smart appearance—but, after all, If the big things are accomplished the little ones come somehow. So, In doing her buying, let the ambitious mother look first for the garment that cannot be done without, and then do her best to match it later on with the needed details. Often, in this way, the necessary fixings can be had cheaper, for prices drop when the season is on the wing, and there Is always some chance of never having the needed garment of importance if the minor thing Is bought first. WIDE CHOICE Of PARASOLS Season's Offerings Give Every Worna i i r « Chanee to. Have a Distinctive Design. The assortment of parasols this year is almost endless. One manufacturing concern is stowing over 600 designs, and tritt^does hot take into account the variety of colorings under each design. •:, I The plain eoaehing parasol again has the field to itself. Of ruffles, flounces and drapery effects there are practically none. In point of number of ribs the buyer can get what she pleases. The samples Bhown have. seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12 and 18 ribs. The early demand has been for parasols made with nine or more ribs. The split Bpreaders with the gold finish are again favored in the Japanese effects having 12 or 16 ribs. Handles are long, some of them measuring fully 18 inches. Under the skillful manipulation of the handle makers, many ingenious conceits are brought o u t Even to a more remarkable degree than last year, large numbers of these handles splendidly match the covers, with which they combine to form the finished parasol. Among the novelties In handles are those whose ends are finished with disks or are of a mushroom shape. This particular type of handle is finished In a variety of ways, many are carved, some are enameled, others are inlaid with Jet end iteee. The novelties of the season Include a pagoda shaped parasol, having 12 ribs oorred upward for two or three Inches near the tips. This parasol is covered with a variety of silks and colorings, but Invariably is finished at the edge with a fluted border of The little frocks of pongee or Rajah silk supplied for young girls lend themselves In combination with any and everything, but though colors may go with them according to Mme. Mode, the soft yellows of such materials respond most beautifully to black or cream. The one-piece frocks, which are really two pieces, a bodice and skirt joined with a stitched belt, are often made with a front fastening that goes from the neck or bust to the hem of the skirt, the waist opening over a removable chemisette or a stitched yokev and the sleeves a i e close mutton legs or bishop models There is scarcely a drop at the front of any of the waists, though the old blouBing fall over the belt Is continually talked about and thlB tautnees of the bodice, and the skimpiness of all the .new skirts for young girls involves a very moderate amount of material for the average dress. In coats there are lengths that vary from the hip to a drop that may distinctly be called three-quarter, but a long, narrow opening of the front of the coat is a feature everywhere, and so, if the collar is not shawl-shaped, the revers are of the smallest Without a doubt, wash materials mn'-o the prettiest frocks in all cases for little girls from the baby ages up to seven or eight, and into the new styles for these small persons there has crept a simplicity which is all but severe. There Is not a flounce anywhere, unless It is one that forms the entire skirt, such as may be put at the bottom of a slip garment with long bodice cut; while the little Mother Hubbard dreBs and the kilted Russian one, which are both so easy to make, are as much as ever to the fore for the tinier totties. The neat semi-fitted coat shown is of a sort that would be needed all summer long if the garment were in a suitable lightweight material and not too darkly colored. Summer-weight covert in a very pale tan would be admirable for it, but such a coat could also form part of a suit of serge or wool canvass, Which would be needed in the mountains or at the seashore. It could also be of any of the stout linens or duck or cotton suiting materials which are used for coat suits. with the back of the collar and cuffs in a contrasting color, and round bone buttons to match the trimming. For size 16 4% yards of material 27 inches wide will be needed, or 2% yards if the stuff is in a 42-inch width *MjOLAAf * Uu i^a^7xy 40,000 FII1EK Ml UUPtm TfeaHesttaca De»rStr»;-Th«e .

I went to see a great many physicians, a matter which cost me a fortune, and after I noticed that I did not get any relief that way, I went for three years to the hospital. But they were unable to help me there. I used all the medicines that I could see but became worse and worse. I had an inflammation which made me almost craxy with pain. When I showed my foot to my friends they would get really frightened. I did not know what to do. I was so sick and had become so nervous that I positively lost all hope. "I had seen the advertisement of the Cuticura Remedies a great many times, but could not make up my mind to buy them, for I had already used so many medicines. Finally I did decide to use the Cuticura Remedies and I tell you that I was never so pleased as when I noticed that, after having, used two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the entire inflammation had gone. I was completely cured. I should be only too glad if people with similar disease would come to me and find out the truth. I would only recommend them to use Cuticura.

Every man should have his balance wheel trued up occasionally. UNCLE . l o t CANNON HE AL«0 SPEAKS WELL OF CANADA. No matter what toqjr be the opinion, of Mr. Joeeeh Cajmon, p4 matter U he may be looked upon'by some as a czar, and by others as a big warmhearted man, with many of the instincts that make humanity very bearable, all will admit |hat he is a man who has been advertised more than any other man in the United States. What be may have to say therefore on any subject, will have weight. Observant, he speaks his mind freely. He was Interviewed the other day by the correspondent of a Canadian newspaper. He spoke of faia admiration for Canada, and he is quoted in a way that pictures farlly well the personal of the man. The correspondent says he launched out into personal biography, proverbial philosophy, political comment, cynical scorn, broad profanity and sentimental poetry such aa one rarely hears in the space of an hour. He discussed the Canadian tariff, and then said: "People say I break the Ten CommandmantB, all of them. But I don't, at least not often. I did break one of them up in Canada two or three years ago. As I rode from Winnipeg to the Rockies over your great West and saw the finest wheatfields in the world, I thought of Virginia and a lot of our States, and I smashed the Tenth Commandment every hour of the journey. Yes, sir, I coveted my neighbor's land." Coming from a man of the fame of Mr. Cannon, these were words that should have some weight with the Americans who may still have doubts of the advantages that are offered to them in Western Canada. A home amongst the wheatfields. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are adopting it. They go to Central Canada, to any one of the three Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, or to the Coast Province of British Columbia, take up their homestead of 160 acres, and probably pre-empt another 160 acres, or It may be they do not care for pioneering twenty or thirty miles from an existing railway, and purchase a farm. Then they settle upon it and, having no clearing away of timber they begin at once to cultivate it, and make money. That they make money and much more than they could possibly make on the highpriced farms they have left, is the evidence of hundreds of thousands. They do not leave civilized life, they but remove from one sphere to another. They have splendid social conditions, churches, schools, rural telephones, splendid roads, railways, convenient just the same as what they left and what is more, they get much greater returns from their crops, which give abundant yield. The climate is perfect, and it is no wonder that most flattering reports are sent back to their friends in the States, and it is no wonder that Joe Cannon was tempted to speak as he did. He "coveted" his neighbor's land. A 8ma(l Loaf. A half-famished fellow in the southern states tells of a baker (whose loaves had been growing "small by degrees and beautifully less") who, when going his rounds to serve his customers, stopped at the door of one and knocked, when the lady within exclaimed: "Who's there?" and was answered: "The baker." "What do you want?" "To leave your bread." "Well, you needn't make such a fuss about it; put it through the keyhole."

Automoblliatfi Help State Indisputable evidence that the state is in a prosperous condition is shown by the fact that the business in the office of the secretary of state increased nearly $17,000 in March 1910, over the receipts ot a year ago in that department. Much of this.is due to the number of auto licenses that were issued during the month there oeing 6.77'J issued sinoe Jan. 1, at $3 each and 1,265 chauffeurs having received licenses at $2 each. Secretary Martindale estimated that before the c'ose of the year, 15,0()0 licenses will have been issued by bis department and some dealers claim that owin« to the rapid sale ot '.be gasoline wagons in Michigan, the number will go considerably ^vef ilartindale& figures.

A very valuable liabll for a farflrly to acquire is that or using pure and pr»- ciue language. As a matter of art such an acquisition la desirable. There are beauty and grace in toe very form of language correctly and concisely spoken. There Is a charm in the apeak* er who Is careful of his manner of speech. But far more important than the beauty of correct apeecb is the Intellectual vigor which it simulate* and promotes. The use of good language encourages the habit of clear thinking. Speaking well and thinking well naturally go together. The Intellectual process largely controls the manner of expression. This does not commend the use of stilted and pompous language, for that can be, and sometimes is used, to conceal the lack of thought Our object is to discourage mussy, lacoherent, scrappy and slangy speech, because it tends to ruin the mind and morals, too. People who use such Ian* guage have confused Ideas and lack an appreciation of what is true and beautiful. There 1B notbJng more serviceable in making good clean men and women out of the children, than a household habit of clear and concise expression. It proraoteanot only thinking, but thoughtfulnesa, and thoughtfulness is one of the greatat virtues -of a home. But make e*act and proper speech one of the institutions of the home and it will remove from the heart many anxieties for the future lof the child. « » M a j W M h * * * M i The proposition to cnange the date of presidential inauguration from 'March 4 to a day late in April, in order to avoid the risk of inclement weather, has ben sidetracked for the present There is opposition in congress on various grounds, but one of the most curious is that the movement is in the interest of the Washingtonians, who wan.t a chance for "showing off" under favorable conditions. There really is little glory for the Washington people in the inauguration exercises, and as they bear the expense of the spectacular part of the performance there would not be any serious damage done if once in every four years they did give themselves the privilege of getting into the spotlight. But the really serious objection to inauguration day in early March Is the risk involved to the lives and health of the participants. The immigration into tbe United States in 1909 did not reach record figures, tbe arrivals at New York, the chief port of entry, being 771,380, against 1.040.1G9 in 1907, which marked the Hood tide. Rut the ingress of aliens indicated that prosperity bad returned, for the ebb and flow of immigration correspond very closely to the industrial situation in this country. There were some unusual features in the 1909 immigration, including the arrival of 1,638 persona from Brazil to locate here.

Turkish pride may stand in the way of such a solution of the difficulty, but to disinterested outsiders this would seem to be an easy way of getting rid of chronic trouble. , The nation paid out $16,000,000 for tuberculosis last year. Fresh air comei high, but we must have i t No one has yet suggested a patrolman to go about smashing in all closed bed-room windows. Field workers of the Michigan Anti- Saloon league met at the headquarters, Chamber of Commerce, Detroit. to map out a system of campaign that they will follow la future. The" conference resulted In a plan to carry the campaign into "wet" counties that heretofore have had no local option, The league will spend Its greatest energies in endeavoring to add Muskegon, Crawford, Montcalm, Huron, Montmorency, Grand Traverse, Cheboygan, Manistee and Iosco to the 40 counties that are already "dry." Several leaders of the league advocated a strenuous campaign in Calhoun, Jackson and Genesee counties, which are now "dry," but which may be pressed to a resubmission of the prohibition issue by the liquor interests. The league will make every effort to force their issue in Monroe, Washtenaw, Macomb, Kalamazoo and Saginaw counties. The leaders In these counties admit that they will have a hard fight, and say they are prepared for it. Supt. George W. Morrow is of the opinion that the next campaign will result in a repetition of what he calls the league's success in the recent election. "We have the situation fairly in view and, when we start the work, we will have it in hand. The field forces are all well content with the outcome of the recent election. It has given them enthusiasm to proceed with vigor and courage and persistence. We have almost half the state in control now, but we cannot rest until everything is our way." According to the leaders who were present Saturday afternoon, Wayne county will not be covered, as it Is believed that much in the way of education as to prohibition principles must be done before any hope of a successful campaign can be held. Those who were present at the session of the league were George W. Morrow, state superintendent; R. N. Holsaple, Grand Rapids, assistant superintendent; Pliny W. Marsh,-Detroit, state attorney; Theodore P. Dauer, Traverse City, district superintendent; Herbert H. Rood, Hillsdale, district superintendent; Grant M. Hudson, Schoolcraft, financial secretary; Caleb H. Rutledge, Ishpemlng, district superintendent. Farming Train Finishes Trip. The special train, carrying a traveling farmers' institute, under the auspices of the state board of agriculture, completed its two weeks' Journey through the state Friday after giving addresses and Instructions at several points along the Pere Marquette road south of Edmore. The train consists of four exhibit cars and two regular coaches. The exhibits arc all kinds of grain and' products, poultry and chemical effects on tuberculosis germs and those of other diseases. Stops made Friday by the trarellng institute were McBrlde, Stanton, Fenwick, Ionia, Lyons and Portland. Michigan Miners Seek Settlement. The Michigan miners propose to have the wage question settled in this state at the earliest possible moment and to this end the executive board has voted to submit a communication to the operators at once, requesting a joint conference at an early date to arrange a scale and working agreement for two years. The miners will make the Cincinnati demand of the miners the basis for treating with the operators. It is expected that an agreement will be reached within a reasonable time and that mining will be resumed in Michigan before long. It was also decided to serve notice on the miners at the Caledonia and Buena Vista mines, both co-operative properties, that tney must cease work at once or they would be dropped from the miners' organization. M. N. Q. Officers To Be Instructed. Something new for company officers of the Michigan national guard is to be furnished in June In the shape of an instruction camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis. In pursuance of orders from the adjutantgeneral's office, Maj. Bersey. of the Light Guard, and Maj. Kraemer, of the Light Infantry, are endeavoring to find out how many of their company captains "and lieutenants will be able to attend the camp. A similar camp was held In 1908, but the Michigan officers did not attend.

They propose' to organize every working man in the city. Contrary to reports that peaches and other fruits were destroyed by the heavy frost at Muskegon, investigation shows that cherries were the only trees badly damaged, although apples were slightly blighted by frost. Peaches, however, are generally unharmed. Four circuits of the Traverse City Are alarm system burned out Wednesday by a short circuit with a wire carrying 2,500 volts of electricity. The main engine house was set afire and the firemen after several hours' work located the trouble. The damage from the fire was slight. Rufus A. Bostwick has started suit against the Michigan Starch company at Traverse City for $50,000 damages. No declaration has yet been filed, and on what Bostwick bases his claim is not known. He was superintendent of the company's plant until it closed down. At a meeting of the charter revision committee to be held in Port Huron a decision will be reached as to what form of government will be submitted to the voters next September. Two propositions present themselves, that of the commission form and a modification of the present system. Crops are better now than they were a year ago according to the report issued by the state department. Wheat is reported at 88 per oent against 76 last year, and rye. 92 as against 8:: in 1909. The meadows are in better condition, and the fruit crop is fully two weeks in advance of what it was a year ago. Supervisor of State Trespass Munshaw has caused a number of warrants to be issued against alleged violators of the forestry laws in Alcona and other counties in the northern part of the state. It has come to the notice of the department that wholesale timber stealing has been going on in these sections for years. Thomas J. Cooper, for 40 years manager of the Western Union Telegraph office, in Bay City, has tendered his resignation. Mr. Cooper, who was an army telegrapher during the rebellion, was with the Western Union at Port Huron for three years before coming to Bay City, and is one of its oldest employes in point of service in the state. Mayor-elect Gaffney has called a special meeting of the Cadillac city council to precede the regular meeting, when action will be taken relative to the amount of bonds to be demanded of saloonkeepers.

The jury returns a true bill against Max O. Leslie, collector of delinquent taxes in Allegheny'county, who is accused of bribery. The indictment of Leslie follows his recent acquittal on a charge of perjury in claiming an alibi in connection with a previous 'indictment for alleged bribery. He is now charged with receiving $25,000 from the Colum bus National Bank of Pittsburg on June 3, 1908. In the former indictment the date was named as June 6. and Leslie proved that he was out oi the city at the time. It is charged that of the $25,000 he paid Over $17,- 500 to William Brand to bribe councilmen. Directors and officials of some of the six big banks which profited by the corrupt depository ordinance, are severely scored by the presentment. . Reason for Envy.

Sees Great Prosperity Ahead. James J. Hill, head of the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Bur* Ilngton systems, came to Chicago in an optimistic frame of mind. He based his optimism on the crop prospects, an early spring, receptive condition of the ground for the pursuit of agriculture and volume of buslneas the railroad companies are handling. He said the spring wueat crop is being put into the ground four to five weeks eanier than usual, and estimated the increase in acreage at between 20 and 25 per cent. "Tbe ground is in excellent condition," he continued, "and with favorable surroundings, as the weather now promises, the coming farm yield should approximate $9,000,000,000, which la $1,000,000,000 in excess of that of last year, according to the figures supplied by the department of agriculture. "This enormous sum of money, which exceeds the world's gold supply, should cover a multitude of sins, and if the country is not disturbed by legislation and other unfavorable conditions, it should be in a highly pros* perous position at the end of the current year. The gold exports should not be distressing, as we have It to spare. Besides, why should we not pay our debts?" The DOQ Settled It. The multimillionaire was uncertain. 'But how do I know you can support my daughter in the manner to which she has been accustomed?" he demanded, dubiously. The imported nobleman smiled blandly. "I will,go te test," he volunteered.

"I always drank coffee with the rest of the family, for it seemed as If there was nothing for breakfast if we did not have it on the table. "I had been troubled some time with my heart, which did not feel right This trouble grew worse steadily. "Sometimes It would beat fast and at other times very slowly, so that I would hardly be able to do work for an hour or two after breakfast, and if I walked up a bill, it gave me a severe pain. "I had no idea of what the trouble was until a friend suggested that perhaps it might bo caused by coffee drinking. I tried leaving off the coffee and began drinking Postum. The change came quickly. I am now glad to say that I am entirely well of the heart trouble and attribute the relief to leaving off coffee and the use of Postum. "A number of my friends have abandoned the old fashioned coffee and have taken up with Postuea, which they are using steadily. There are some people that make Postum very weak and tasteless, but if it is boiled long enough, according to directions. It is a very delicious beverage. Wa have never used any of the old fashioned coffee since Postum was first started In our house." Read the little book, "The Road to Welrville."in pkgs.

Qne might possibly have been discovered hidden away in the locked chests, hut I did not feel authorised to break these open on such quest, and so returned to the deck with nothing to guide me in the services to be conducted. The boatswain, assisted by two seamen, had prepared the bodies for their last long voyage, and while the drew gathered in a body on the snow-covered deck, the dead, shrouded "We can make It easy in three days, Mr. Stephens," broke in Anderson, loudly. "If we only have decent weath er, we could rip up that old hooker, copper the swag and be north-bound in that time." I never glanced toward him, my eyes still on the mate. "But the women. De Nova?" He was looking at them, and, following his eyes, I turned also. Celeste was' bending eagerly forward, her dark eyes sparkling with excitement; her mistress stood erect, grasping the edge of the longboat, her face flushed by the keen wind, her lips firmly pressed together. "I sink zat maybe zey vote wig ze crew, monsieur," smiled the Creole, pleasantly. Lady Darlington reached one hand out for the rail, her skirts flapping, her hair blowing free beneath her hat. "It will be beBt for us to go oh, Mr. Stephens," she said, quietly. "The men will never be satisfied otherwise; and I do not blame them. Too much has been risked already to turn back at the last moment because of a little additional peril. Nor am I willing it should be done merely to spare us a few more days of discomfort. We must take our chances, and, as for myself, I trust absolutely in your seamanship." : There was a growl of appreciation from below, Anderson's voice shouUng up hoarsely: "You're the right stuff!" but I stood there in silence, gating at her fa astonishment, feeling deserted by every one, and realising that the entire responsibility was now mine. More clearfy than any among them I comprehended the neril fronting us, the desperate cha £ • we were about to take, 'the casting of dice with death. Yet #*«i was there left for me to do?

There is much depression about such burial scenes at sea, especially so In our circumstances and surroundings. But she insisted upon being present, and so at the last moment I returned to the cabin and escorted both her and Celeste to the deck. It was a dismal, melancholy scene, and I did not wonder at the slight shiver with which her ladyship glanced about. The swiftly descending snow, the whitened decks, trampled beneath the feet of the men, the bare spars overhead; the low-flying, duncolored clouds; the gray, tumbling waters; the low growl of the ice as the waveB battered its front; the silent semicircle of men standing motionless except for their shuffling feet; and those two white-draped figures lying extended across the rail—all combined to form a grim sea-picture the memory of which can never dissolve. Protected somewhat from the sharp wind by the cabin the men had flung aside their mufflers, so that their weather-beaten -faces, most of them heavily bearded, were plainly revealed. 1 could not but be Impressed with the motley crowd, as the lineaments of negro. Kanaka, and every variety of white degenerate were thus exposed. Their uneasy, shuffling feet, and the impatience depicted on their faces, aroused me to the requirements of the moment. I advanced to the rail, standlug beside the corpse of the mate. "Lads," I said, soberly, "when we bury shipmateg at sea there is a solemnity a bo g) the simple ceremony nnknown to the land. Far away from friends and home We give the body up to the great ocean to keep for eternity. Yet we aro sailors, long accustomed to the vicissitudes and perils of the deep; we have parted with shipmates, before in many seas, and not a few among you look forward to the time when comrades will be called upon to perform a similar service of respect over your bodies. Even now we sail forward into great danger, and none among us can prophesy what the morrow may bring of either life or death. Yet the sea is the sailor's sepulcher, the roar of the great waves hli requiem. I am no sea preacher, able th: .address you upon the hereafter, or fitted to eulogise the spirits of those whose bodies we are about to bury. You desire nothing of the kind.

No one stirred^ however, the only sound on board the wind whistlin* through tb4 rigging and the heavy breathing of the men. "WelJ. toon* I added, regretfully, "nothing remains hut to commit tholr bodies to the deep, and may God have mercy on •letr eotd»!" ' r . { I lifted my hand in signal, but even aa I did so Lady Darlington anpke, the men who were about ft? jfilt the'planki pausing in wonderment, "Wait/Mr. Stephens; not without one wor<l of prayer. Let me speak it, if no one else wttf," . She came forward, throwing back hjer veiL and grasping my sleeve to ratals Heady footing on the heaving deck. For an instant there was an impressive silence; then- her voice arose, low, yet distinct, trembling to the accent of reverent prayer. I know not what she said; merely the simple breathing upward of a petition to the Almighty Father for pardon and guidance; yet never before did faith lay snch mighty hold upon me. It was short, only a few-faltering sentences, but the honesty of it, the faith so clearly evidenced in both words and face, impressed the roughest there. She paused, her head' still lowered; I beard some one say "Amen" solemnly, and raised my hand in signal. Noiselessly the ends of the planks were uptilted, and the two^neeted figures slid downward into the gray water. Instantly they disappeared beneath the unfathomable depths. So silently and expeditiously was this accomplished that she even failed to note the action, lifting her eyes wonderlingly to the bare planks, and with a choking sob burying her face in her hands. Without venturing a word I led her gently to the companion. Five minutes later I stood again upon the bridge, the deck beneath throbbing to the purse of the released engine, as the Sea Queen raced recklessly forward through the ice-girded waters in desperate effort to attain her goal. It was not a dark night, for the stars were out—such cold, dead stars they seamed—and a little later I knew the moon would come stealing up above the waste of waters, yet there was a haze hovering all about us, as though the entire surrounding atmosphere was thick with frost. I crouched down behind the slight protection _ of the tarpaulins, sweeping the horizon with n>y glasses, but discovering nothing to awaken alarm. 1 BSW nothing of the watch, except as I called for them. Then they came, clawing their way out of the snug holes where they hid from wind and water. However, there was little enough for any of us to do; we could sintply hold on, trusting in the strength of the keel under us, and sheering to eastward oX-the ice-pack. It was a wild, mad night, the wind freezing to the marrow, and every wave dashing its ley spray hurtling against the front of the wheelhouse. At eight bells I went below again, every muscle of my body aching, and my face tingling as though pierced by a thousand needles. 1 sat down before the red-hot stove in the cabin, thinking I should never get the cold thawed out of me. Yet inside of ten minutes, with head resting on the chair-back, and legs extended to keep my balance, I was sound asleep. Whether a sudden leap of the vessel or some unusual noise aroused me I cannot say. Dazed, confused, I sat upright, staring about me. for the moment scarcely realiaing where I was. I could hear the fierce pounding of the sea without, the shrieking of wind through th$ vcordas)i *nd the rattle and groaning of the woodwork as the s^lrittmfBMsgirTfaasli dined Into the hoi- «P &wmjk£imgkt her way hack to the craataf* A shower of half lashed the windows, rattling like shot against the shutters. Aa I glanced backward across my shoulder, I heard, above all that hellish uproar, a hollow, unearthly groan. I was upon my feet in an instant, grasping at the edge of the table, striving vainly to place the sound. For some cause I could not keep my eyes off Tuttle's door, every 'nerve pulsing with agony. Was it imagination, illusion? By all the gods, I beheld a white visionary form glide noiselessly forth and disappear as though dissolved in mist. It was certainly there, yet, in another instant. had vanished, I knew not how. I stared about into the dim corners, then leaned toward the door, seeking to open it. It was locked; of course it was, for the key was in my own pocket. Many4 times I have known fear, but not such fear as this which now smote me. Here was something intangible, something; I could not reach and throttle, a dim, frightful shade, coming from God alone knew whence. I pressed my hands to my head, and endeavored to laugh, to woo back my courage. Great heavens, was I also losing my mind? Was I to be haunted and pursued by evil fancies? Had the curse of this ship now descended upon me? I staggered to my feet holding on desperately to the table, seized the decanter from off the swinging shelf and drank deeply. Lord, what grim fancies a man may have when the physical organism is unstrung! 1 glanced at my watch, discovering 1 still had two hours below, and crossed over to my stateroom, nerving myseli to play the man, yet "glancing about fearfully Into the dancing shadows. 1 laughed as I closed the door,vbut shot the bolt hard, and lay there for an hour listening, every nerve a-tingle, before fatigue finally closed my eyes.

In Which We Lay the Ghost. The coming of night found our situation less promising— a thick veil ot clouds obscuring all gleam of stars. the wind veering more to the west- Ward and growing bitterly cold. The barometer was falling slowly, pres aging the approach of storm; yet nothing openly threatened with the exception of these thickening cloudmasses scudding up from out the southwest, their wildness reflected in the darkening sea, and the continuous thunder of waves along the ice-front blocking our passage. I visited the engine and boiler rooms, ordered hall speed and prompt attention to signals, took one last searching glance about the dimming horizon, and finally threw myself, without undressing, on my bunk for a brief rest below. As I lay there, thinking of that wild scene without, I discovered sleep impossible. Was I doing right thus to hold on for further southing? My conscience was not altogether clear, for I realized that it would be luck rather than seamanship that would take us through and bring us safely out again. Only some mystery of Providence had thus far given UE passage, had held the wind to another point of the compass, beating Luck the invading floes and yielding to ug an open sea. But would such fortune last—a day, two days, more? We could race northward with the ice, but what about that vast field stretching to the northwest? If by some shift of wind it were to close in, the helpless Sea Queen would be crushed like an eggshell. And Lady Darlington had said she trusted me implicitly. Was 1 showing myself worthy by thus pushing the yacht deeper into danger? (TO BE CONTINUED.) Must Risk Making Mistakes * - Man Afraid of Taking Chances Wii Never Accomplish Anything. The man whose career means deeda, results—the man who does things— is not afraid to risk mistakes. He ot whom it can be said: "He has never made a serious error of judgment—his record is flawless," will be found to be one who has done little or nothing worth while. He is so cautious In contemplating a move that he hardly dares to make it before its possible effect has been minimized or lost Guarding himself against the reproach ot public failures, he denies himself the satisfaction of work well done. It is hfs habit to study a situation until the time for action has passed. He shrinks from responsibility, as he fears criticism. He is swayed by the supercautlon that goes with a futile mediocrity. The other type of man investigates, decides and does. Criticism and the change of ridicule are ignored by him. Between action and , hesitation he chooses action every time. When it cosies to taking, a chance or waiting to see what will happen be takes ,1¾3 chance. He would rather risk a mistake than do nothing. He is willing to listen to both sides and then acts on his own judgment, welcoming the responsibility. IT he meets with failure he does the best thing possible to amend it. If he Is successful he gathers new hope in dealing with the next problem. That's the American spirit. Remunerative. "In the sheep raising district of England," remarked an Englishman now l.ving in New York, "there was an old man who used to wander about picking up and selling wool which the sheep scratched off their backs by rubbing against the hedges. The old fellow was somewhat of a bntt In the neighborhood, but he stuck to his work, unmindful of jeers, wandering miles over the downs every day—silent, absorbed, untiring. "Well, how much do you suppose that old boy left when he died? Just guess, now." "One thousand pounds,'' opined one ai*dUnr. "Five "hundred," »aJd another. I The r;»^r>nteur shook his head. "Wot a detuned cent," he said. '*I hear dot Levi has made an assignment, und he has only been married one week." "Veil, he alvays did believe dot marriage vas a failure." QUICK ACTION PRESCRIPTION CURES COLDS IN A DAY What is said to be the best and quickest prescription known to medical science for colds and coughs is as follows: "Get two ounces of Glycerine and half an ounce of Concentrated Pine compound. Then get half a pint of good whiskey and put the other two ingredients into it. Take a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful of this mixture after each meal and at bed time. Shake the bottle well each time." This has cured hundreds here. Be sure to get only the genuine Concentrated Pine. Each half ounce bottle comes put up in a tin screw-top case. Any druggist has it on hand or will quickly get it from his wholesale house. Don't use the weaker pine preparations. Ungenerous Lavishness. "Your former husband never complained about the alimony!" "No," answered Mrs. Flimgilt. "lit was brute enough to say his motto was 'Freedom at any cost!'" WORTH MOUNTAINS OFGOLD During Change of Life, says Mrs. Chas. Barclay Graniteville, V t — " I was passinff through the Change of Life andsufferea ?i from nervousness and other annoying symptoms, and I can truly say that LydiaE.Pinkham'a V e g e t a b l e Compound has proved worth mountains of gold to mc, as it restored my health and strength, I never forget to tell my friends what .

Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make m v trouble public so you may publish this letter."—Mns. CHAS. BARCLAY, B.F.D.,Graniteville, Vt. No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia £ . Plnkham's Vegetable Compound. For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, ulceration, local weaknesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, ana it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of Ufa It costs hut little to try Lydia B.

Bribery Is a term which every candidate for a seat in the Imperial assembly dreads, for the law visits offenders against it with very heavy punishment, and more than one politician has realized that the game is not worth the candle. The would be M. P. must be very careful not to give, lend or promise money or money's worth to Induce an elector to vote for him or abstain from voting for an opponent Neither must he pay the day's wages of any voter or give hlra money for railway fares or loss of time. If he does and is elected the candidate loses his seat, and both he and the recipient of his 111 advised gift are liable to twelve months' imprisonment or a fine not exceeding £200. Even treating the wives or relatives of electors may constitute an offense, and the quantity is immaterial if the intention Is corrupt. The withdrawal of custom from a tradesman, if done with a view to affecting the man's vote, constitutes un due influence, for which the punishment is the same as in the case of bribery.—Pearson's Weekly.

The stock whip In the skillful hands of the Australian is not only an article of the greatest utility, but also a formidable weapon. Owing to Its great length—the lash varies from twelve to thirty feet—and the shortness of the butt, which measures ouly eighteen Inches, it is an extremely difficult and awkward thing to wield, and the beginner is apt to hurt himself if he does not exercise care when practicing. A well trained stockman, however, can hit a cent every time at ten paces distance and with the dreaded lash in his hand, cracking like pistol shots, can keep a mob of wild cattle in check. If used with full force it will cut through skin and flesh like a knife, says the Wide World Magazine, but unless a beast shows distinct vice the stockman uses It more for the purpose of instilling fear than of causing pain. It can also be used as a bolas, a Patagonlau form of the lasso, and an adept can catch and hold a beasf by causing the lash to curl around its legs. T. READ.

Stoves Stored S S j S & a * ^ $3.00 ami atMaLWaft U j • ' " % , American agriculture shows a Strang* •contrast. With the price of farm products higher than ever before, farm land baa depreciated in value, and the fcumber of abandoned farms steadily Increases. Figures gathered by the conservation commission are surprising. lit 1B shown that there are 16,000 square miles of abandoned farms, chietijy in New England, New York, the southeast and the middle central states. That Is, there are In the United States at present 10,000,000 acres of abandoned farm land—an area as large as the cultivated part of the Canadian northwest, 15 times the size of Rhode Is- Hand, four times the size of Connecticut, twice the size of Massachusetts, >©r half as large as Ohio, says Cleveland Plain Dealer. Of the many reasons advanced to explain this desertion of farms, two or three are especially worth noticing. Most important of all, perhaps. Is the wasteful system of cultivation that has so long prevailed In the United States. A fertile soil has In countless cases been exhausted by taking everything from [it and returning nothing to it. Add tto this the fact that there is a ^ a r k e d -trend of population from city to country, and that farm labor has become iso expensive as to leave little profit from the work of a laborer, and it is little wonder that so many owners of larms do not care to cultivate them. \ Relic hunters have been oreaklng Into the church where President Taft worships in Washington. During the past year it has been twice necessary jto rebuild the president's pew, and it jls no longer safe to leave the hymn Ibooks In the rack or the cushion jon the seat after the chief executive [has attended services, says Chicago iRecord-Herald. So many books and [cushions have been carried away that officials of the church now take everything that is movable from the pew as '.soon as the president ilnisb.es his demotions. Cannot something be done to jlessen the hardship that is thus put !upon the relic hunters? Why not furmlsh a plank for the president to alt Ion when he goes to church, and then (leave it for the relic hunters to whittle (up and divide among themselves? JBy having It made of some.kind of soft wood the comfort of the president and the convenience of the relic (hunters would both be provided for. ;We are a great people and ought to !be able somehow to keep our relic jhunters from feeling that they are bejing deprived of their rights. CRAZED NEGAUNEE MINER P U T * DYNAMITE UNDER THEIR BED*. INFANT GIRL HAS MIRACULOUS ESCAPE—BODIES ARE TER- ^ RIBLY MANGLED. [ News of grim, rndhnnded war comes jto us from New Orleans, where the recall grocers, backed, we suppose, by • the moral influence of the druggists, :the marketmen, etc., are about to ap- Ipeai to the legislature for a law prohibiting lagnappe and making its jpractice a misdemeanor, says New !York Sun, Lagnappe Is a picturesque [survival, the bestowal upon small purchasers of trivial donations, regulated |by the size of the transaction, of gumjdrops, candy, and the like. They have Itried to fight it by combination and jmutual agreement, but have failed. iSome of them would not "tote fair." {The institution is more than a hundred |years old, and it dies hard, so after jthe modern fashion of running to the (government on every trivial provocation, the grocers are about to ask the ^legislature to protect them against a icuBtom of a century and a half's standling, of inconsiderable importance in ittself and so easily "evened up" in practice as to make it negligible. i A Utica boy died while laughing at ;the comic supplement of a Sunday paper.

Michigan In Millionaire Class— Hat $1,131,018.40 in Treasury; Corporation Taxes Coming In. Murder and Suicide at Nagaunta. Placing a stick ol dynamite under the bed occupied by hla wife and ?- year-old daughter and another under that occupied by himself and ait 5- year-old son, Frank Saarinen, aged 30, a miner, blew wife, son and himself to atoms at Negaunee. The infant girl escaped miraculously. Saariuen and his family had been two weeks in Negaunee, and so tar as is known by neighbors there had been no domestic difficulties. It is believed that the man was seized by a nt of insanity. The dynamite he probably carried with him from tho mine in which he was employed. The house was badly damaged by the terrific double explosion, both sticks of dynamite exploding at almost the same moment. How the Infant escaped is a myatery to the local authorities. When terrified neighbors rushed into the house after the explosion the babe was found unhurt on the floor of the bedroom, while all about it was the debris of the shattered bed and other furniture and huddled in a heap in one corner the terribly mangled, unrecognizable remains of the woman. Saarinen and his son were also badly mangled by the explosion, the boy's legs and arms being torn from his body. AB a result of the tragedy local mine officials say they will exercise a more careful watch over their stocks of dynamite and prevent the men from having free access to the explosive.

Warner issued the annual Arbor day proclamation, which reads as follows: "The season of planting and seed time has come, and In compliance with a custom that should have the force of law. I hereby designate Friday, April 29, 1910, as Arbor day. The Increasing importance of this day and its observance is urged upon our oltlzenR. 'Plant a tree' should be the watchword of everyone fortunate enough to own a portion of. Mlchlf an's fertile soil. The homes and arms, the parka and the highways of our state should bear evidence In the years to come that their future beauty and utility were kept in mind by those In whom their stewardship has been placed. "We owe this to posterity, but we will not have to wait beyond our own time for the reward, A love for na,- ture, for the shrubs, flowers and trees, should he inculcated in the youth of our land, and there should be a program arranged for every school for Arbor day with this end In view. The planting of the trees and the sowing of the seed should be followed by exercises that will make the day distinctive In the lesson that It teaches. "Those In authority in our cities and villages may well call the attention of the people to the day and the sentiment that first brought about its observance. Better care of the parks and playgrounds, improved conditions surrounding the public places will be the result of organized efforts, and no more valuable service can be rendered the people than the impressing upon them of the fact that this day means much to them and others."

The United States will be forced as Germany is to look to the Wheatflelds of Canada, One province alone raised last year oneeighth as much as the entire production of the United States, and but a twelfth of the wheat area has yet been touched. The Americans who have gone to Canada, are to-day reaping the benefit of the demand for Canadian wheat and they will continue to join, in the benefits thus reached for a great many years. Splendid yields are reported from the farms of that Country, and from land that the Government gives away in 160 acre blocks, and from other lands that have been purchased at from $12 to $16 an acre. John Munter,.near Eyebrow, Saskatchewan, a former resident of Minnesota says;, : "Last fall got over 30 bushels ot wheat to the acre and had 30 acre* of It; also 20 acrjes spring breaking on which I had flax of which 1 got almoat 20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres in oats and got 70 bushels per acre and 500 bushels potatoes on one and * three quarter acre, and can therefore* safely say that r had a fine crop land am well satisfied with my homestead." He is considered hut a small farmer, but he will be one of the big farmers,' tsome of these days. There are many < others, hundreds of others* whose yields were beyond this, and whose average under crop was vastly greater. The story of the experience of American farmers in the Canadian West Is a long one. The time to l b , would appear to be now, when splendid selections may be made, and where land can be purchased at prices that will be doubled in a couple ot years. Overhenpecked. Former Governor Pennypacker, discussing at a dinner in Philadelphia the divorce evil, said with his humorous smile: "Perhaps there would be less divorce if human nature were more perfect.

Steel to Raise Wages. An advance in the pay of the thousands ot employes of the various subsidiary companies of the United States Steel corporation equal to about 6 per cent, is said to have been practically decided upon. Conferences on this subject have been held in New York, and a study of the actual increase in costs by making this advance to the men has been ordered in the operating departments ot the underlying companies. The changes expected are principally for laborers and men getting less than $100 a month. Brisk business and Increasing scarcity of labor has aided in bringing about a better wage rate, and at present the shortage of labor at Gary, Ind., is said to be the severest It has been since work began in that new industrial town.

After the body was lowered, the throat was cut and the clothing saturated with oil and set on fire. The body wals rescued from the mob after the clothing had been burned. Temple was killed by O'Neill when Temple went to the assistance of a deputy whose revolver the negro had eelied. George Williams, another negro, is charged with assisting O'Neill, and the mob threatens to lynch him also. As a Matter of Fact. ' "Old fellow," suggested the candid friend, "you use the expression 'Aa a matter of fact' entirely too much. You have no idea how frequently you sprinkle it through your conversation." "Thank you, old chap," replied the object of criticism. T U try to avoid It hereafter. As a matter of fact, it isn't at all necessary to use it." $100 Reward, $100.

By heaven, for her sake, if for no other reason, I would play the man! Ay, and I comprehended exactly what such resolve would cost—realized fully what that mongrel crew would say and do the moment their ghostly terrors fled, and they knew I had given up Bearch for the treasure. I should have to command by brute force, by threat and blow. There would be mutiny aboard for every league until we made port. I knew the nature of that sea-scum forward—how they would whine and curse, how they would hate rae for failing to hold them to their course in face of death! Well, let them hate; my love was worth by far the more, and the life and honor of Lady Darlington outweighed all else on board—ay, and the treasure of the Donna Isabel! "Implicitly"— I saw her eyes again as she said it. and sprang to the deck, fumbling in the darkness for the latch of my door. The main cabin was dimly lighted and chill, the flre in the stove low. I paused to rattle it, and add a few lumps of coal from the scuttle standing near by. In spite of surrounding comforts what a grim, inhospitable place this was for any woman like her! The very snugness of the cabin served only to emphasize the gloom and peril without, the frightful polar mystery which surrounded us, which drives men mad amid its awful distances, its shrouded silence. Suddenly, directly opposite where I stood, I saw it again—that same shapeless, white, gliding figure. An instant only I stood rooted to the spot, my Mood Hke Ice, my eyes full of horror. * "then the swift reaction came, the reserve courage of a man ashamed of ';iu£h weakness,' and I leaped straight tqward the misty object, grappling at it with my hands. I touched nothing but air, falling headlong with a violence jarring the entire cabin, and overthrowing a chair crashing to the ifcfek. Dazed, confused, I staggered to my knees, staring about into the dim shadows. A white-draped figure was at my very elbow, and I •prang1'to myL feet, only to tike a fjaiek step backward, grasping at the mind remained clear. "What was it you saw?"

"Yonder, you Bay? just where you saw it before?" I had not thought of that, yet it was true—there, beaide Tuttle's door. An instant she stood motionless, her eyes searching the dim corners of the cabin, aa though tracing some suspicion awakened within her mind. Suddenly she clasped my arm. "We do not believe in ghosts, Mr. Stephens, you and I," her voice growing firmer with conviction. "Our edu- He waved hJ» Msj hairy hand in the rectlon oflhev Mailers, * •. , . ; "Went tc»hii bunk to lie down for s i hour; U MM About t l U V y o a c # i l * o f - s t a f i d m g u*on will return here? you will let a t a r t M . g t o p b w .t ^ - w a t c l l t f l e wa me know at once what you discover? Promise me this." "I promise; and more, I will pledge myself to be cautious, so do not worry." I procured my revolver, turned the light low once more rn the main cabin, and then stole silently Into the narrow passageway leading forward. There was no light in the. pantry, but the faint reflection from the cabin enabled me to distinguish the more prominent Outlines. A form lay, outstretched on a looker, and I bent over it, silently. It was Dade, curled up on his side and sound asleep. There was no doubt had not beheld what I had, and hereabout the reality of his slumber; the fellow was not shamming, and I drew back, leaving him undisturbed. The "A shapeless white figure, mlBty, i alley-way leading forward was ex- "Damn You, McKnicht, I Panted. Lie Still!" cation and training make such a conception impossible. There is a natural cause for this, a reason, an actual presence back of the shadow. There must be, and we must find it. Where did you stand when you saw this apparition?" I stepped back to the spot beside the stove, realizing that she still clung tightly to me. "Here, and I lifted my eyes like this." She leaned eagerly forward, her breath on my cheek, her Angers clutching my arm. "Why —why that is a mirror you are looking into! See! What is it reflected there? Turn up the light until I locate the spot. Oh, I see now—the open pantry door. Mr. Stephens, there is where your ghost stood—it was the shadow of a man reflected in that mirror." Our eyes met, all my former terror fled, shame and anger dominating me. "Dade?" "It might. be-»certainly some one who sought in that way to terrorize officers and crew, and thus compel them to turn back. Whoever it was, he killed Mr. Tuttle, and now seeks to accomplish the same end with you. What are you going to do?" "Trace him down. The last time the fellow went, directly from here to the forecastle. There must be a passageway from stem to stern." She caught me as I turned, her gray eyes wide with apprehension. "You. will take me with you?" "That will be Impossible, Lady Darltngtift. I know nothing regarding this passage amidships, ^ut it must surely lead through the coal bunkers and the engine room." •"But—but 1 cannot let you go alone," utterly forgetting to conceal her agitation. "Truly, I could not bear to do It. Whoever this man may be he will become desperate when cornered. Your very life will be in danger." "And you really care?" my hand clasping hers, my eyes eagerly searching the graV depths. "Yes, I care," making no effort to free herself; "why should I no*? Think what our condition would be if you were not. on board. Yot that A not all; I care because I value your life, your friendship. Little as 1 c%* do. let me, at least, b« sear you." "You are near me," said I, utterly forgetful of circumstances in the sudden rush of passion, "always near me, became my thoughts are «*1ta you, a y tremely narrow, yeta of a height sufl cient to afford comparatively easy oasBage bad it only beep lighted. Suddenly a faint glow appeared ahead, and a moment later I slipped cautiously through a small bulkhead door standing ajar, into a low, square room, containing six bunks arranged in tiers of two. A slush lamp swung from a blackened beam, and various articles of wearing apparel dangled from hooks. I peered into the bunks, discovering three occupied, the unconscious sleepers being Cooky, the smooth-faced Chilean, and the gunner, a Swede named Gustafson. None awoke under my scrutiny, although the Chilean was talking in his sleep and threshing his arms about as if in nightmare. I bent down, looking at him more closely, attracted by something oddly familiar in the upturned features. By all the gods, the fellow was Lieut. Juan Sanchez, his long mustaches shaven, and looking ten years younger! It was so odd a thing, this sudden renewal of a controversy originating thousands of Jerques away, that I nearly laughed outright, forgetting for the Instant the serious- purpose bringing me there. Yet this surprising discovery of Sanchez aboard seemed of comparatively little importance, and was as quipkly dismissed. The narrow bulkhead door leading forward was tightly closed, and in that dim light 1 had to hunt for it, so perfectly was it fitted into place. When discovered, however, it proved to be unfastened, and 1 . stepped forth into an emptied coal bunker, whence 1 could look straight forward along the glowing boilers into the engine room. I advanced carefully along the slight open space until I came upon the squad of firemen and big lii\\ Anderson. The latter shaded his eyes, staring at me as though he mistook me for another ghost, but I took the initiative. "I have been investigating the arrangement of things below, Anderson," I said, in explanation; "rather odd way in which the yacht is cut up. Did you know there was a passage leading all the way aft?" The boatswain shook his head, too surly naturally to answer. "Well, possibly you know whether or not a similar passage leads forward into the forecastle?" "There's a bulkhead door over there," he returned, indicating by a gesture a spot concealed by the donkey pump, "but I don't know where it goes, only it's dark as hell." "It comes out under the forecastle, sir," broke in a coal heaver named Davis. "Leastwise there's a trap In the deck there, with a ladder leadin' down." "I'll finish the trip through, then, for I like to know what is under my feet when I command a vessel. Where is the engineer, Anderson?" -mr. ...^,-- _ watch alone* bit an *%0v joomH The fellow grinned, his bulldog jaw protruding. - "Well; I've had to do it on this trip whether I'm capable or not That follow cant stand it In here night an' day without no rest. I know how to ter gauge, if anything else goes wrong he's easy enough called." So it was McKnlgnt who was playing the antics of a ghost on board; McKnight who had discovered that unusual passageway through the bulkheads; HoKnight who had conceived the idea that in this manner he could frighten us into turning back. Well, truly, I did not altogether blame the man, and, now that my own fear of the supernatural was allayed, did not feel any desire to punish him severely. Still, his masquerade must stop before he thoroughly demoralized the crew, frightening them beyond all my power of control. I discovered the door concealed behind the donkey engine, left it Bllghtly ajar behind me, and stepped forward into the black passage. I had groped along to the very foot of the ladder, feeling nothing but bare walls, and hearing no sound except the slush of bilge water, when suddenly an inarticulate cry sounded, almost directly above; something, a hatch cover possibly, seemed to settle into place, and the ladder shook under my hand. I drew back a step, permitting the fellow to come down until he reached the floor. My eyes, accustomed to the gloom, enabled me to dimly perceive his shape. It was no more than a formless smudge he made, but I Btruck straight for what seemed to be the head, and landed with a force that dropped him like a log. In an instant I was on top, clasping the canvas sheet he wore tightly about his arms. and throttling him against the deck. He fought like a wild bull for a moment, thoroughly frightened and whimpering, dazed by the suddenness of attack, yet following the animal instinct of a struggle for life. "Damn you, McKnight, lie still!" I panted. "I've got you, and you might just as well take your medicine, ray man. Yes, that's a gun you feel, and 1 know how to use It. So you're the ghost of the Sea Queen, are you? I guess you know what this means if I turn you over to those fellows, don't you?" He groaned, and I ventured to release my grip on his throat, flinging back the canvas from his head. "Sit up. Well, I'll tell you, McKnight —you would probably go overbqard to feed the fishes. Do you recognize me?" "Yes, sir," managing to find his voice for the first time. "You're Mr. Stephens." "Right you are, and you can bless your lucky Btars that I am the one who caught you. What started you at this trick?" "It was the Chilean, sir, Sanchez; he said we could scare the whole outfit," "Did he do any of the ghost playing?" "No, sir; he didn't have the nerve, but—but he rigged me up, and found out about these passageways." What waB I to do wiih the man? In truth there was little I dared to do under the circumstances. "Now see here, McKnight," I said, soberly, "you quit this thing for good and all; if there is any more ghost walking done on the Sea Queen I'll turn you and Sanchez over to the men. Desldes, there's no use resorting again to that sort of trick, for we're about at the end of our cruise.'" "You mean we're going to turn north?" "Yes. Now if I let you go will you behave yourself?" (TO BE CONTINUED.) See End of Man's Dominion % Whote Matter Settled by Four Women Over the Tea Table. The women, taking their tea by the club window, talked. "They have a girl prompter at the Garrlck theater," said one. "The manager told me last night that he'll have none but women prompters after this. Their fine, clear voices carry so beautifully across the stage, while at the same time they are quite inaudible in the auditorium." "Of course," said another. "In teaming living languages, too, a woman is incomparably better than a man. A man has a thick guttural voice. His words are all mumbled and jumbled. But a woman's cieaf delivery—her open voice—gives every syllable Its j'dst value. In studying French.pr Oerffjan or Italian, ohoosa a woman, and your progroM will he easier aad faster." "Norwegian horses," said a third woman, "are at once spirited and gentle. Do you know why? Because it is the women, the farm women, who break them. They make pets of them first; the colts feed from their hands and follow them about like dogs. After that their breaking is easy. It is only done by kindness. And the result is that Norwegian horses have the best dispositions in the world." A fourth woman settled the whole matter. "As mental power ousts muscular power," she said, "woman, save in such irremediably brutal vocations as surgery or pig-sticking, will supersede man all along the line." Origin of "Living on Tick." The phrase, "living on tick." dates back to the seventeenth century, wh*n s tradesman's bill was known as a tkkou The Response Mechanical. It is the custom in convents for the nuns to respond to a knock at the door with the words r "in the name of God," the phrase being equivalent In conventional parlance to our worldly •enter" or "come in." In a convent in one of the western cities not loug since, the mother superior bad a never-to-be-forgotten experience as a result of this custom. Some one in the outer world called the convent telephone number by mistake. The mother superior, roused from her meditations, picked up the receiver and responded mechanically; "In the name of God." "Madam!" called an irate masculine voice at the other end of the wire, "there is no occasion for you to swear at me, even if l have made a mistake in the number. Profane language is prohibited over the telephone!"

W1N8T0N. (Osprrttrht, WW, by American Press AIMd* tlon.J A boy from m e n to twelve tied to i*Z f t OOIN*! apron string ia always an object of pity to me. I have seen one of these boys looking wistfully at a group of romping cnlldren, longing to Join In their play, but deterred by the woman who had him in charge. They, dressed in corduroy or gingham, are without fear of soiling their clothes; he, rigged out in a white "wash" suit, v, knows that one speck of dirt on it •5 will bring down the anathemas of the she dragon hired to keep him clean. Tommy Bttrcb and I would have been friends in our childhood had we been permitted. But Tommy was always immaculately dressed, and a middle aged lady tutor-nurse £ad Mm in charge to elevate his mind. I was always dirty, and my mother seldom put good clothes on me, for she knew I would tear them to tatters climbing trees. If Tommy had had a common nurse he migbt have occasionally got away from her, but with his governess it was another matter. He was never permitted to be out of her eight for a moment- The worst of it was that Tom was not born a milksop. He became one because he couldn't help himself. When he had got rid of his governess he begged me to take him gunning and fishing and all that. A love of such sports was born In him, but he had been so delicately reared that he was unable to Stand the hardships they involved and couldn't keep pace with me in anything. Nevertheless 1 was fond Q]L him, And we became quite chummy. So after a first effort tu| tramping fill day through a wood and eating bacon and hardtack for supper he gave It up and devoted himself to drawing pictures, for which he hah considerable talent. If he bad hud th$ luck to havefbetsii thrown on his own resources he mig'it have made an artist of hirasWf. My cousin,' Frances Rose, having become the ob)ect of Burch's adoration. he confided the secret to me and asked me to sound tier ns to whether there was any cuance for him. 1 suggested to:her one day that she and Tom would m^ke a good' match. ?I make a match with tha,t ladylike yojang man!" she exclaimed disdainful ly. "Not much!" *He might at least teach you to speak good English." 1 retorted. Then I told her of the way Tom had been brought up and the dragon and all that. She listened attentively and from contempt, with a woman's sudden change of front, veered right round to sympathy. So when I proposed that she help me to try to rectify the damage done she fell in with the plan. We were to coach Tom in athletic games and manly amusements, giving him sundry hard raps, such as he should have had years before. All I let him know about It was that Frank admired manly men and he'd better go in for athletics. He was a trifle old to begin, but I promised to help him. I commenced with boxing gloves and after a few lessons hammered him so unmercifully that I feared 1 had killed him. When he came round 1 told him I'd turn him over to Frank for a new beginning, which she, a girl, would be bettor fitted to make than I, a right tackle football man. Prank took him up. and 1 could plainly see she developed a deep interest in the work. I have seen her keep him on the tennis court, playing first a set. then a double set, losing Just enough games to necessitate a "playoff." the sweat running down his cheeks, his neck and trickling down his back, while he panted like a horse with the heaves. X crisis came at last. It was in crops country horseback riding. Frank cou'ld ride like a centaur. She disdained to strain a horse by sitting sidewise. She rode straddle with divided skirts. She made Tom get out of bed — before daylight to ride with her, increasing the length of their canters till on one occasion she kept the poor beggar out without a morsel of food from 5 o'clock till noon. During^this timje he was obliged to jump his hoke, she leading the way over fences, ditches and logs. He had been born with no craven spirit and would have gone to his death rather than give in to her. This lad her to push him to see how far he would go, till one day she went over a log so large that she-barely missed It. Tom, who was not'so expert a horseman, raised his beast too soon, and the animal, coming down with his belly flat on the log,: rolled over on his rider. I was sent for to go to Tom's house and found Frank there in the hall looking like a ghost, while the doctor was; making up his mind whether there was any chance for the milksop she had been trying to make a man of. Tom hov.ered between life aud death for a moot*, then, gradually came around. The first thing be did after getting out was to—come to me and tell me of bis engagement to my rousin. I wasn't surprised, for he Lad shown thut bad he been suffered to make u man of himself in the first place he would have dope so. What the dragon hud spoiled a splendid girl made over successfully. When I spoke to Frank about her engagement I said. "I thought you couldn't marry a ladylike young man.'* "Shut up!" she cried sharply. "He's as manly as you. He followed me everywhere X led, even at the risk of his neck." I smiled, but made no reply. China's BI& Celebration. T h e exposition fever has at length struck Chiua.

We are nnablo to find anything there that shows that family launches unless used to carry passengers for hire, shall be equipped with licb^s. These small boats "p.opelled by machinery" shall be subject to inspection and the commissioner informed us in a personal letter that an inspector would visit this section in the near future. We believe, however, that small boats navigating the lakes and rivers at night would be better protected if carrying at least one light but if they were to carry the regulation lights, whistles, bella, etc., as some papers would infer and as called for in tht taw lor passenger vessels it would lake a bigger hoat than most of them are to even carry the equipment.

They would, crack open and bleed, ttch, burn and ache •o that I could not sleep and could do bnt little work. They were so bad tha^t I .could not dress myself in the morning. They would bleed and the blood dropped on the floor. I called on jtwo debtors, but they did me no good. I could get nothing to do any good till I got the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura: Ointment About a year ago my daughter got a cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and in one week from the tlnrt I began to use them my hands were all healed up and they have not been a mite, sore since. I would not be without the Cuticura Remedies. "They also cured a bad sore on the hand of one of my neighbor's children, and they think very highly of the Cuticura Remedies. John W. Hasty, So. Effingham, N. H.Mar. 5 and Apr. 11, '09." Treatment for Lump Jaw. Lump jaw is due to a fungus which Is usually taken into the animal's system in feed consumed. Lump jaw is liable to affect the glands of the throat or the bones of the head, writes Doctor David Roberts in American Cultivator. It is not advisable to keep an animal thus afflicted lingering In a herd. On the other hand it la advisable to either treat BUCIL-an animal or kill it, as such animate invite di*> eases into the herd, owing to tbe fact that they are so reduced in vitality that they have no resisting power. A remarkably large per cent, of suoh cases can be successfully treated if taken in time by opening up the enlargement and washing it out with a strong antiseptic solution, like five of carbolic acid in water, and putting the animals on a tonic. In this way the affil ted animal is not only saved, but toe entire herd is protected against disease.

The peaDut crop is extensively grown in five continents, but first used as a delicacy in America. The larger vegetables, as peas, corn, tomatoes, etc., need rows three to four feet apart, and melons even more. There should be a great abundance of peas, lima and bush beans, and tomatoes, for these are easily grown. For use as a fertilizer, ground limestone should be fine enough to pass a sieve having 50 meshes to the linear inch, . There is as much work, sometimes more, seeing a weakly plant through the season as there is caring for a robust, strong one. The better the arrangement of crops with good provision for tho supply of humua to the soil, the greater the profit from farming. As to garden tools, it is best to own a plow, a harrow, and a horse cultivator, if one can afford to, even if the . horse must be hired. Peas, corn, beans, tomatoes, the melon family and potatoes, should be grown from seeds selected year after year from the best specimens In one's own garden. Many of our best farmers practice the system of sowing some Clover seed with all grain crops and they find that splendid returns are received on money invested in this way.

(BY AT.VIN KKYSRK, COLORADO AGR I C U L T U R A L COLLEGE.) In growing milo it is essential to get the right variety to start with. There are two types of milo on the market— the yellow and the white. Yellow milo is superior to white milo. There are quite a number of varieties of the yellow milo. These vary in height from two feet to fifteen feet. The extremely dwarf and the extremely tall forms should be avoided. Those varieties which grow to a height of from four to six feet, under ordinary conditions, are preferable. The extremely dwarf sorts do not yield well enough. The tall varieties mostly come from the south, consequently, they are late maturing and less drought resistant than those which grow to a medium height. Home grown seed in preferable whenever it can be obtained. "Something like po*4cy. It's a lottery, you know."—Cleveland Leader. DODDS ^ KIDNEY^ Start Beans1 and Melons. It is a good plan to start lima beans, water melon, musk melons and squash in tin cans. Fill tho cans nearly full of rich soil and set them in a moderately warm room where they will have plenty of sunshine. Plant lima beans with the eyes down and soon as the plants have long shoots and are ready to climb transplant them to the garden. Be sure that all danger of frost is over before transplanting as the young bean plants are very tender and it does not take much frost to kill them. with a neighboring house within 20 feet of us. Though such conditions are unfavorable for beekeeping the thought of putting tlfe bees on the roof of a woodshed occurred- to me; and, though tho idea was laughed at, I built some framework and placet! upon it my two hives with two additional. Though the beep were just over the door as shown In the picture, the only lime they gave us any trouble was after I had robbed them. Then they would be "numerous" for a short time. I reached the hive by way of an apple tree close by, or through the window above, in which the screen was bung on a hinge. From this roof I took about nno pounds of honey from four hives, (quite1 good returns from a roof seven feet square, ordinarily considered useleas for producing anything).

Take the rind of two gnpe fruits or four oranges, removing I U ^portion of the tough fiber separating the sections that may adhere, but leaving the white lining of the yellow rind. With scissors cut the peel in strips one-quarter or three-eighths of an inch wide, cover with plenty of water and boll slowly for half an hour. Drain, coyer with fresh cold water and bell again for another half hour. Then pour off all the water, add a large cup of granulated sugar and half a cupful of cold water and boil until all the sirup has been absorbed. Scatter on pieces of brown paper to cool and dry a little/then, roll in fine granulated sugar. The peel of lemons, mandarins and limes may be prepared in the same way and a few strips of each mixed In a box pf candied orange and grape fruit afford a pleasant variety. ?

The cherries and mint leaves may be prepared In similar fashion, but as tbey are easily secured at large groceries for confectionery shops, together with angelica, which has such an exquisite ^flavor, and as only a small quantity is required for a dozen or more boxes, it seems hardly worth while to make them at home. A Blngle cherry in the middle of a box with a circle of mint leaves and narrow strips of angelica about it-gives to the sweets an artistic touch.—Los Angeles Herald. Easy Way to Wash. Soak all the white clothes the day before In lukewarm water rubbing the soiled spots with naphtha soap. Then put over fife to melt two bars of any good washing soap with one cup of water. When thoroughly dissolved "take out of doors" and add one cup of gasoline. In the morning fill your boiler half full of water and put in two cupfuls of the soap mixture, turn your clothes out of soak and put in boiler and boll as usual; then rinse in two waters. You will find the clothes a snowy white without any rubbing. You may wash the calicoes in this suds without having them fade, as the gasoline sets the colors, and a pailful may be strained through cloth, to free from lint, for the stockings. Old Hardwood Floors. Hardwood floors which have been badly scratched or damaged must be sandpapered and treated to a coating of wax. The wax must be allowed to dry thoroughly before the floor is used. Twenty-four hours is not long enough. In the case of parquet flooring, it will be necessary to scrape it first and then coat with shellac. If the floors are discolored where they are not protected by rugs, the scraping or sandpapering will remedy this also. iaV ' m Fruit Cakt for Dyspeptics. 1 tfitlr two heaping teaspoons of baking powder into three cups flour, • add one teaspoon salt, one-half teaspoon vanilla, one-half eup currants, one-half cup raisins, preferably sultanas, two-thirds cup milk; two-thirds . cup water.

M I C H I G A N RESTORING A LOST EMPIRE. The possible realization uf the project for reopening the old empire of Nebuchadnezzar to civilization, a project which only yesterday was only a dream, la foreshadowed by the efforts of the Turkish government to reclaim IL',500,000 acres of waste laud In Northern Mesopotamia through irrigation, sayB New York World. Given the success of the experiment, the ancient realm of Assyrian and Babylonian monarchs may then be re fertilized and repeopled with an In diretrious race and the world's uld granary restored after centuries oT desolation. Mesopotamia's greatness waH due to a system of irrigation canals In connection with the Tigris and Euphrates. It was by their neglect that It declined and was transformed Into a sandy plain, the haunt of nomad races. Within recent times the engineer and the archeologist have invaded It, the former plotting the route of the Bagdad railway which is to unite it with the Western world and the latter delving in the dust heap which have disclosed in turn the site of Nebuchadnezzar's palace, the hall in which Belshazzar gave his feast and the very site of Babel. To reclaim it to cultivation will cost ¢200,000,000. — w « " • - » • — Mr. Durand, the director of the census, has been casting a preliminary glance over the field, and he makes a rough estimate that the enumeration this year will show a population of between 88,000,000 and 90,000,000. The director's estimate would seem to be conservative as It does not Include any extraordinary growth. In fact, according to his total the ratio of Increase would be smaller than In the preceding ten years. The census of 1900 gave a population of 76,303,387, a gain of nearly 14,000,000 over 1890. A corresponding gain from 1900 to 1910 would send the figures considerably over the 90,000,000 mark. In fact, the World Almanac, taking the estimates of governors of states and territories, places the population for the Unite I States at present at 94,049,810. There has been some remarkable development in some localities, and the final results of the census taking this year may furnish some surprises. T The factions have not yet got together In Nicaragua, but it looks more and more as though they are likely to do so. President Madrlz has made peace proposals, and General Estrada the leader of the insurgents, has replied. The offer is not accepted, but General Estrada suggests meditation, with the United States as the deciding power. Uncle Sam is not looking for any such mission, but If he ran be Instrumental in bringing about an honorable adjustment of the quarrel and in restoring peace to a distracted region perhaps he will not object. And the steps taken looking to the withdrawal of the American nnval forces in that quarter would seem to indicate that apprehensions of further serious trouble are no longer entertained. This Is the age of the automobile. Yet the horee 1B not wholly a negligible quantity, and . coaching, that sport so popular with lovers of the equine, still flourishes. A notable record was made by a four-in-hand from New York to Atlantic City. Of course the automobile will continue Us triumphs. But there is a great deal that is inspiring in a drive though the country behind spirited and speedy horses. The Duke of Orleans, the French pretender, again offers himself at this crisis to save the ship of state, declaring that republican institutions are responsible for corruption. But it is not the use of republican institutions which is at fault; It is merely their abuse;, and the obliging Duke will probably be politely so Informed, and hi^ help as politely refused. Another little row has generated nmong those touchy South American nations. Peru has become huffy at Chile, and has withdrawn the legation to the latter country. What seems to bp almost as much needed as a Hague tribunal is an arbitration court that will smooth over those Latin-American squabbles. The frequent appeals to aid the census takers are an Indication that there is some fear of a disinclination to reveal family secrets for the benefit of the statisticians. T H E COMBINE W I L L PRESENT ANOTHER PLAN OP ORGANIZATION. ABANDONS MAINE CORPORATION —W. A. FOOTE D E N I E S ATT E M P T TO DODGE LAW. The Custer Monument Will Be Unveiled at Monroe June 4 by the Widow of General Cunter. The water power ayudicate has capitulated to the state railroad commission and will present to that body its plan for developing a great water power system in thia state. W. A. Foote of Jackson, the prime mover in the project, and John C. Weudock, his attorney, called on Chairman Glasgow of the commission at Lansiug and announced that within 1U days the matter will again be before the commission, but along entirely different lines from the original scheme. The plan now proposed is for each of the 11 water power companies Included in the merger to come before the commission "separately and make a showing for an Issue of bonds with which to take up its present indebtedness and provide an object for extensions and improvements. Each company will act separately in this matter and there is no announcement as to further plans for merging the companies, although it is known that at least some of the companies will be merged into one corporation. The proposal to organize the Consumers' Power Co. of Maine with a capital stock of $20,000,000 to issue 135,000,000 in bonds is not a part of the project as outlined at present, although after several bond issues are arranged there may be some move alon^ this line. Mr. Weadock in his talk with Chairman Glasgow absolutely disclaimed any Intention on the part of the merger to avoid coming under state regulation, stating that ever since it had been found that the original plan could not be carried out by reason of lack of time, attention had been devoted to the matter of arranging for presenting this scheme to the commission.

LIMBURGER AND THE LAW I SAW CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY Odorous Compound Responsible for Soma Trouble and a Little Alleged "Wit." "Technically," aaid Judge Wells to William Rung in the municipal court, "you had the right on your side. However, you chose a form of cruel and unusual punishment that cannot be toleratttd by this court. I'll have to fine ydu one dollar." It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Aung, who is a stereotyper, sat down to luncheon with Edward Snider, a fellow employe. The piece de resistance of Rung's luncheon consisted of limburger cheese, and Snider, who regards- himself as something of a wag, had made certain remarks about the cheese, reflecting particularly on Its odor.

Being Interested in mining operations In Bolivia, he was denounced by Chile aa a n insurrectionist and aa a consequence w a s hiding. At his hotel hiH attention w a s attracted by a n E n g l i s h m a n and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunken officer. H e w a s thanked by her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told him tha^t war had been declared between Chile a n d Peru and offered him the office of captain. H e desired that that night the Esmeralda, a Chilean vessel. should be captured. Stephens accepted t h e commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which h e w a s assigned. H e gave them final instructions. They boarded the vessel. They successfully captured the vessel supposed to be the Esmeralda, through strategy. Capt. Stephens gave directions for the departure of the craft. He entered the cabin a n d discovered t h e English woman and her maid. Stephens quickly learned the w r o n g vessel h a d been captured. It w a s Lord Darlington's private yacht, the* lord's wife and maid being aboard. H e explained the situation to her ladyship. Then First Mate Tuttle laid bare the plot, saying that the Sea Queen had been taken in order to g o to the Antarctic circle. Tuttle explained that on a former voyage he had teamed that t h e Donna Isabel was lost in 1753. He had found it frozen in a huge case of Ice on an island and contained much gold. Stephens consented to be the captain of the expedition. H e told Lady Darlington. She w a s greatly alarmed, but expressed confidence in him. T h e Sea Queen encountered a vessel in the fog. Stephens attempted to communicate. This caused a tierce struggle and he was overcome. Tuttle linally squaring the situation. Then the Sea Queen headed south again. Under Tnttle's guidance the vessel made progress toward i t s goal, De Nova, the mate, told Stephens that he believed Tuttle, now acting as skipper, insane because of his queer actions. Stephens was awakened by crashing of glass. He saw Tuttle in the grip of a spasm of religious mania and overcame him. The sailor upon regaining his senses w a s taken 111. Tuttle committed suicide by shooting. Tpon vote of t h e crew Stephens assumed the leadership and the men decided to continue the treasure hunt, t h e Islands being supposed to be only 200 miles distant. Tuttle WHS buried In the sea, Lady Darlington pronouncing the service, Stephens awaking from sleep saw the ghost, supposed to have formed the basis for Tuttle's religious mania. T'pon advice of Lady Darlington, Stephens started to probe t h e ghosj. He came upon Lieut. Sanchez, the drunken officer he had humbled in Chile. H e found that at Sanchez' inspiration, E n - gineer McKnlght played "ghost" to scare the men into giving up the quest. not trifle any longer with your life." "{—I am not that kind of a coward, Mr. Stephens. You—you owe it t o those men to push, on, now we are so near their goal, ' Ypn have pledged them your word,^and>—and I want you to keep it." 4 | •' The companion-doer skkl back, and a man came heavily down the steps.

When morning Arrived: t h e Sea Queeu was plunging through a n angry »ea, In the midst of a raging snow storm which • effectually concealed all our immediate surroundings. With vivid remembrance of those vast ice fields lying off our starboard quarter, and the certainty that numerous bergs were drifting not far ahead, we were compelled to slow down our engines, feeling a way cautiously through the whjte fog. The Ice-cakes buffeting our bows, and scraping along the sides, were a constant menace, requiring men to fend thera off so a s t o keep rudder and screw uninjured; t h e mainsail had broken loose from its gaskets, and, frozen stiff as the heavy canvas was, proved difficult to secure; while t h e ice on our forward deck had accumulated to such a thickness aa to be weighting us down by the head, and had to be chopped loose and ttimg overboard in great blocks. It was not far from noon when the heavy snow-clouds broke and went scurrying away like a flock of birds, CHAPTER XVMt.—Continued. He promised with an pager onrnestneas that went far toward convincing me I had not only conquered the man, hut won his friendship as well. "Then wait here, McKnight, until I can pass hack alone through the engine room. In ten minutes you slip through, and let this end it. Shake hands, my man." He gave me a grip T foil., and so 1 left him, a mere shadow in the hVck pasRage. Lady Darlington stood within the door of her cabin waiting for me. her face brightening as I emerged through the pantry door. "Who was it?" "McKnlght; I caught him in the very act, but shall keep it from t h e crew. There will he no repetition of this affair, T am sure, for now we are homeward bound." How quickly h e r gray eyes lighted up, her hands instantly clasping mine. "Homeward bound, Mr. Stephens! » • * • Have we already attained the spot sought in this sea? Was there nothing discovered there a s a reward for all this long voyage?" •"No, we are not. yet. there, but I have determined upon turning hack. I can not. take you any farther into danger." "Rut why? why? Ta t h e peri) so terribly desperate? How much far ther south must we go?" "With fair luck, t h e wind holding as tt Is, we might attain the position to-morrow. 'Tis not a long run; hut, Lady Darlington, 1 am afraid to risk It. T%e slightest slant of wind will bring the ice crashing down upon us. We are under Damocles' sword, suspended by a hair. This is the beginning of winter in these latitudes—of fierce gales from the sou'h sweeping across leagues of frozen waters. We haya been wonderfully fortunate thus far, yet, a single day. ay. a single hour, might seal our fate, hemming us in be* yond any possibility of escape. I wight take t h e c h a a e e if we were all Mere adventurers on board, hut 1 dura Within a Minute De Nova Had Joined Me, His Eyes Stilt Heavy with Sleep, leaving the wide sweep of waters clear to our view, with a yellow sun hanging cold in the pale blue of the sky. 1 hardly knew where we were, not feeling al all certain about the extent of our drift during the past 24 hours, and so hastily brought my Instruments on deck and shot Ihe sun, stepping into the chart house to figure out our position. The result sent a sudden thrill of exultation through me. "We have attained the spot!" I exclaimed, aa 1 glanced up, and saw her gazing In at me through the open door. "Now we will ascertain t h e truth of Tuttle's vision." "The spot? Do yon mean this is the point of sea we have been seeking?" "Ay! and now, thank God! we can head the other way." 1 sprang eagerly past her, clinging to a life-line so as to keep my feet on (he deck, too thoroughly excited by my discovery to remain any longer in idleness. "Johnson, run below, and call Mr. De Nova. Have him turn out at once." 1 Matched the fellow slide to t h e companion, and made my own way to the bridge, sweeping my glasses anxiously about the clearing . horizon. Within a minute De Nova had Joined me, his eyes still heavy from Bleep. "Mr. De Nova," 1 said, rapidly, my gloved hand sweeping a semicircle in our front, "I have just taken a n observation, and this is latitude 66" 17' south and longitude 110° 30' west. Send your sharpest eyed lookout to the foretopsail yard with these glasses. Then call all hands." He went down t h e bridge stairs as though shot from a gun, and a moment later a young seaman named Symes was swiftly footing the ratlines, their coating of ice breaking under his tread and rattling on the deck below. The men swarmed out from the forecastle and up the main hatch, ranging themselves about the foot of the foremast, watching me eagerly, and occasionally peering up at Symes, now wall above the cross trees. "Lads.'' i cried, bending over the rail of the bridge, and staring down into- their upturned faces "I've .lust figured out our i»osition, and this is the spot we've been hunting after in these seas. I've sent Symes aloft to look out for Tuttle's island. If there'* any land In sisjht, well and good; we'll have a try for looting the Dona* = 9 C 4 b A. * • Isabel of those Spanish pesos, But If not, then w e l l call i t a wild goose chase, sod the Ses Queen points her nose north." There was a faint, half-hearted a t tempt' a t a cheer, which ended In a muttering of oaths and a shuffling of feet on the icy planks. The glances of the fellows turned upward toward Symes, now securely posted on t h e foretopsail yard, t h e glasses to his eyes. One or two among them, including Anderson, clambered t o t h e top of the forecastle where they could see ahead. "How t h e hell," t h e latter yelled "do we know this i s the place, and suddenly from that point of vantage, that you ain't foojln* us Just to get back?" The crowd turned their eyes on me, and I heard a growl of approval. "Principally because I Buy so, Anderson. The chart, with our course pricked on it day by day, Is yonder in the chart-house. And my figures are there also for this day's reckoning." "But we don't any of us know any thing about t h a t ! " "True enough, b u t there happens to be one on board who can figure it out for you if you doubt my word. Lady Darlington can do it." The rising medley of growling voices ceased almost instantly, and if I had felt any question as to what her ladyship would do it was Immediately silenced. She slipped to the rail of the stairs, her hood thrown bade, her hair blowing In the wind. "I—I believe thoroughly in Mr. Stephens," she said, clearly, "but it Is true that I know something of navigation, and if you really doubt his statement I will figure it out for you." "Now you hear that, lads," my voice ringing out stern over the hubbub. "You'll believe this lady If her results are the same a s mine. Now stop your growling." I hollowed my hands for a hall aloft. "What do you pick up, Symes?" His words came back in a thread of sound a s he looked down upon us from his bobbing perch. "Not very much, sir, except water. There's a hell of a big field o' Ice out yonder," pointing with one hand, the other gripping the spar, "but it's mostly flat, an' all glistenin' with snow. There's maybe a dozen bergs ahead an' off the port quarter, mostly medium size, but with the devil of a big fellow a poir.«t or so to the north." "Any land?" "Not a sign, sir, unless that's It I take for a big berg. The shadows look dark enough for rock." "Ease h e r off two points, wheelman." "Two points it is, sir." We stood there, silent and motionless, waiting anxiously, t h e men ranged along the rail, with their eyes all turned forward. I rang for full speed, and the Sea Queen fairly leaped ahead through the icy smother, flinging clouds of white spray over the heedless figures. Within ten minutes we began to perceive the huge mass we were approaching from the deck, and never before had my eyes looked upon so gigantic and majestic a mountain of ice. It was one immense cliff towering into the upper air, being fully 300 feet high, and not less than 1,200 feet in length, with vast glittering pinnacles rising stifl farther into the sky, its entire front a sheer precipice, gleaming in cold blue, with hardly a darker shadow anywhere to yield relief to the eye. We rounded its eastern edge so closely one could have tossed a biscuit from the foreyard against its smooth front. the swell of its motion tossing the daring yacht flrke' an eggshell. Symes clung to his parch aloft with the grip of a n*mkey, .swinging back and forth to the wild sfrayinftof the spar. Suddenly he'yelled down- "There's wind comln" from t h e son'west, sir." "Heavy?' "Looks to be a stiff breeze, an' it's bringing more snow." "Lay down from aloft." I sprang over, t o consult the binnacle- card, and then cast one swift, comprehending glance at the thickening gloom in the southwest. Beyond doubt the change had come. "Give her two more point* north, wheelsman; keep h e r head nor'east by nor'—steady so. Mr. De Nova, send another man up here to t h e wheel. All hands now; stow every thing; tail on to those gaskets lively, my huls; we're lu tor a blow, and a run for our lives." To my amazement scarcely a man among them stirred, the eyes of the majority turning toward Anderson. Evidently there was an understanding between them; they intruded to revolt and had chosen him their leader. He stood just in front of the forecastle, a lumping big figure in his heavy clothes, his coarse face and ugly jaw showing beneath a fur cap. "What yer turuin' north for in such a hurry, Mr. Stephens?'' h e growled, hoarsely. "It's not by vote o' the crew, an' we're t h e ones that's got they say of It on this voyage. We're for keepln' along this line o' latitude for a day or so anyhow. Tuttle might 'a' got his riggers tangled an' missed a few leagues. Anyhow, we want t h e lady to give us her reckoning first." I felt the hot blood leap to my face, and my teeth clenched a s I leaned over the rail gazing down a t him. "Lads," 1 said, striving to master myself. "I've put you exactly where I promised 1 would; I've shown you all that was here. You can see for yourselves what will happen if we hoW on any longer. The wind h a s swept around; it is going to bring that whole pack of ice down on us. We've got to run for it, or be crushed. Now what I want to know is, are you with me, or with Bill Anderson?" , They held off muttering, yet casting uneasy glances over the rail. Anderson stamped angrily on the deck. "Oh, to hell with yer fine words," he said, grimly. "What if the wind has changed a bit? Can't we beat off the floe under steam the same as we did before? We're sailor-men, and not afraid of a rough sea. For one, I'm damned if I leave that gold to rot here without huntin' for it." Words were clearly useless, and 1 ripped back my heavy coat, dragging off my gloves, all patience exhausted. "Come on, De Nova," I exclaimed, "you've got sense enough to realize what this means." I was over the rail wiih a leap, fronting them on the deck. Almost to my surprise the Creole landed beside me, and without a word we struck out at the heads in our front. It was a fierce mix-up for a minute, yet only a man or two stood with Andersen, the suddenness of our assault taking all the fight out of most of hem. I struck Big Bill twice squarely in t h e face, driving him back against the steps leading to the forecastle deck; over these he fell sprawling, his head thumping the plank. The next instant I had De Nova's antagonists in t h e rear, and together we laid them out against the rail, and none too gently. The mate's smile had become ugly, and he would have leaped into the rest of the bunch, but 1 caught his arm.

That Settled Mr. Clerklie ftr- Happening That Decided Him on Seekinfl Another Restaurant. For years Mr. Clerklie had eaten his frugal but nourishing luncheon in a lit tie restaurant half a block north from his office. He was an easily satisfied person, and what, he ordered seemed always to suit him to perfection. T h e waitresses never knew htm to com plain. But one day things went wrong. The butter was rancid, and the bread so moist, that Mr. Clerklie. who had decided ideas about hygiene, would not eat. it. He did his best, and left tlw table early. The nexf day the same thing oc curreri, and the day after there was no improvement. He called the waitress to him. "May I see the proprietor, please?" he inquired. The girl -disappeared for a minute and returned with the news that the proprietor was out. The following day as well a s t h e one after there was no improvement in the food, and no sign of the proprietor. Tlr. Clanklie nearly made u j his mind t o seek another r e s t a u r a n t He decided, however, to give them a chance, and on Saturday at luncheon again asked for the owner of the place. "He's gone out," was the reply. Mr. Clerklie became hold. "This is ridiculous!" he exclaimed. "I come here at noontime every day, and every day he is out. Where is he. anyway?" "We expect him hack any minute," said the girl. "He has just stepped out to get his lunch."—Youth's Companion. Birthdays and Health. For several years I have noticed that in a period of from about, three to two weeks preceding the anniversary of my birth I have had a feeling of returning vigor, a renewal of vitality such as I have not «xperienred at any other time of the year. This has lasted for from two to eight days, but has always ceased some days before the anniversary. Hence it. h a s occurred to me that, there may be some connection between the approach of t h e recurrence of one's birthdate and the maintenance of one's health. —Letter In London Graphic.

THE CRESCENT WORKS, 326 Mala Street, Ann Arbor, Mloh. & A Mud House By EVELYN B. EMERSON Copyright, 1810, by American frees Association. Ajnoug the Boers of South Africa forty years ago lived a farmer named Van Wyk. He was very pooo-so poor that he^puid got choose a desirable pluce \Pr a decent bouse in which to live. Indeed, bis farm was a circular depression, and when too much rain came it was flooded, and his crops were rotted. As for bis house, it was but a hut and was plastered with mud. But Van Wyk had not always lived thus. Time was when he had been well off, and the eldest daughter, Katherine, was educated. Katherine was a comely Dutch girl, with blue eyes, fair complexion and hair almost white. Her mother did the best she could to keep her girl we* dressed and, baring fabrics ^hat sbJ had worn in better days, made th£m over so successfully that Kate, especially on Sundays, made a very good appearance. Some distance from the Van Wyku lived a prosperous farmer named Oreutner—that is, he was considered prosperous for that region, though his farm produced only a lair living for himself and his family. He had a number of daughters and but one son; therefore he was anxious that his children should marry with those who were well to do. He had saved a small dowry for each of his daughters, and, as for his son Hans, be proposed to leave him his farm. But he required from any girl his boy should marry a dowry equivalent to its value. Unfortunately Hans met Katherine at a dance at one of the neighboring farmhouses, and one glance at her pink and milk face, her robin's egg eyes and the two hemp colorefd cables that hung from the back of her head to her ankles put all ideas of his father's plans out of his head. He danced with her several times during the evening, and when the two separated theirs was one of those cases wherein two young hearts rush together like a couple of electric sparks. When Farmer Greutner heard of his Bon's love affair he called the boy to him and said: "Hans, I'm ashamed of you. What do you .mean by making love to a girl Who lives in a cabin plastered with mud? You certainly can't marry her, for if you do I \, ill give this farm to your sisters, ami you and your mud hut wife will have nothing to live upon." Hans only irritated his lather by making no reply. 1'eople with whom we are angry cannot make us more angry than by listening to what we say and giving us no word in return. Hans went away determined that nothing should separate him l'roiu the girl he loved, even to the surrendering of his inheritance, but he did not see how her father could he persuaded to give her to one who could not support her. So the matter went on, as such matters usually do, with hard feeling between Hans and his father and opposition enhancing the attachment of the young couple. (Jreutner never lost an opportunity to sneer at the mud cabin in which his sou's beloved lived, and since the rest of the family considered Hans would -demean himself by taking a wife out of such a home they were constantly taunting him about his mud haired girl who lived in a mud plastered house. One day the little Van Wyk children prospected the mud plastering for playthings. From a part of it that had given way they pulled out some queer looking stones. Whether they wanted them for jackstones or for some other childish game, they certainly wantod them and did not spare the plastering. When -their father came in and saw that they had made rents in the wall he rated them soundly and asked them why they had done no, whereupon they showed him the stones they had pulled out. Farmer Van Wyk forgot the damage to the plastering in the stones. They were rough and did not possess either the appearance or weight of common stones. He studied over them a long while, then borrowed a magnifying glass and examined them with it carefully. Taen he called his wife and told her that the plastering of their cabin was sprinkled with diamonds. The next day -before the dawn had , hardly broken he went to the place on 'hie farm where he bad taken the clay to plaster his cabin and, digging up : the earth, found that it was full of the : tame kind of stoneB. He could not be- JMere his eyet. Taking one of the diamonds to an emery wheel, he ground one side of, it and exposed a white •nrfad^Tfyen he ground different parte oi itJeaving intersecting planee, and* hotttUff the stone up to the rising ran* produced flashes like the ralnbew. ?jot long after that Farmer Greutner can» over to yen Wyk to eongratulate him on bis good fortune, and to wy thaw bis eon being bent on marrying. Katherine; he* wojbld like, to know what dowry her father bad for her. Van Wyk bad beard from Katharine the,tatti»ta her lover J>ad been obliged faMpar at loving a girt who lived in MKiba house, nud his eye* kindled as he said sharply; "This mud house." Greiituer made uo reply, bin went away to tell his sou that be might marry Katheriue. and Hans forced him to admit that her bumble abode was a splendid dowry Van Wyk'H saucer abaped farm Is now the slfe of Klmberley, one of the great dlnmond mines of the world.

Bradley Oilman, the splendid mental equip ment of the poet did not include humor. In his characteristically lmpns sioned way, Shelley was deeply interested in the problem of Immortality. One day he met a nursemaid wheeling a very young child in a perambulator "Here is a little soul." he reflected, "recently come to earth out of the great unknown preceding human life Perhaps he can tell me something about the great unknown after human i life.

BIG AUDIENCE IN SORBONNE Savants, Professors and 8tudents Hear the Ex-President's Views on the Responsibilities of the Individual— Hits at Race Sulcide4n Fran**. Paris, April 23.—Savants, professors and students ot the University of Paris crowded the assembly hall of the Sorbonne this afternoon to hear Col. Theodore Roosevelt lecture on "Citizenship in a Republic." It was an appreciative audience and the lecturer •was frequently applauded. Mr. Roosevelt said: Foundations of Our Republic. This was the most famous univercity of medieval Europe at a time when no one dreamed that there was a new world to discover. ItB services to the cause of human knowledge already stretched far back into the remote past at the time when my forefathers, three centuries ago, when among the sparse bands of traders, plowmen, wood choppers and flsherfolk, who, in a hard struggle with the iron unfriendliness of the Indianhaunted land, were laying the foundations of what has now become the giant republic of the west. To conquer a continent, to tame the shaggy roughness of wild nature means grim warfare; and the generations engaged in it cannot keep, still less add to. the stores of garnered wisdom which were therein, and which are still in the hands of their brethren who dwell in the old land. To conquer the wilderness means to wrest victory from the same hostile forces with which mankind struggled In the immemorial infancy of our race. The primeval conditions must be met by 'primeval qualities which are incompatible with the retention of much that has been painfully acquired by humanity as through the ages it has striven upward toward civilization. In conditions so primitive there can be but a primitive culture. Building the Higher Life. As the country grows, Its people,who have won success in so many lines, turn back to try to recover the possessions of the mind and the spirit, which perforce their fathers threw \ aside in order better to wager the first rough battles for the continent their children inherit The leaders of thought and of action grope their way forward to a new life, realizing, sometimes dimly, sometimes clear-sightedly, that the life of material gain, whether for a nation or an individual, is of value only as a foundation, only as there is added to it the uplift that comes from devotion to loftier ideals. The new life thus sought can In part be developed afresh from what Is round about in the new world; but it can be developed in full only by freely drawing upon the treasure houses of the old world, upon the treasures stored in the ancient abodes of wisdom and learning, such as this where I speak today. It is a mistake for any nation merely to copy another; but it is an even greater mistake, it is a proof of weakness in any nation, not to be anxious to learn from another, and willing and able to adapt that learning to the new national conditions and make it fn.lt* ful and productive therein It Is fflf us of the new world to sit at the feet of the Gamaliel of the old; then if we have the right stuff in ua, we can show that Paul, in his turn, can become a teacher as well as a scholar. Today, I shall speak to you on the subject of Individual citizenship, the one subject of vital importance to you, my hearers, and to me and my countrymen, because you and we are citizens of great democratic republics. A democratic republic such as each of ours—an effort to realize in Its full sense government by, of, and for the people—represents the most gigantic of all possible social experiments, the one fraught with greatest, possibilities alike for good and for evil. Great Lesson of France. France has taught many lessons to other nations; surely one of the most important, is the lesson her whole history teaches, that a high artistic and literary development is compatible with notable leadership In arms and statecraft. The brilliant, gallantry of the French soldier has for many centuries been proverbial, and during those same centuries at every court in Europe the "free masons of fashion" havn treated the French tongue as their common speech; while every artist and man of letters, and every man of science able to appreciate that marvelous instrument of precision. French prose, has turned towards France for aid and inspiration. How long the leadership in arms and letters, has lasted is curiously illustrated by the fact that the earliest masterpiece in modern vengeance ot Charlemagne when the lords of the Frauklsfa host were stricken at Ronceavallea. Need of individual Character. Let those who have, keep, let those wjio have not, strive to attain a high standard of cultivation and scholarship. Yet let ua remember that these stand second to certain other things. There Is need of a sound body, and even more need of a sound mind. But above mind and above body stands character, the sum of those qualities which we mean when we apeak of a man's force and courage, of his good faith and sense of honor. I believe in exercise of the body, always provided that we keep in mind that physical development is a means and not an end. I believe, of course, in giving to all the people a good education. But the education must contain much besides book-learning in order to be really good. «W* must «sver remember that no keenness, and--subtleness of intellect, ad folisfc, n o cleverness in any way make up for t b ^ lack of great bolid qualities—*eM»resttalBt. self-mastery, common sense, the power of accepting individual responsibility and yet, of acting in conjunction with others. Courage and resolution; these are the qualities which mark a masterful people. Without them no people can- control itself or save itself from being controlled from the outside. I speak to a brilliant assemblage; I speak in a great university which represents the flower of the highest Intellectual development; I pay all homage to intellect, and to elaborate and specialized training of the intellect; and yet I know I shall have the assent of all you present when I add that more important still are the commonplace, everyday qualities and virtues. The Evils of Sterility. In the next place the good man should be both a strong and a brave man; that is, he should be able to fight, he should be able to serve his country as a soldier if the need arises. There are well-meaning philosophers who declaim against the unrighteousress of war. They are right, only they lay all their emphasis upon the unrighteousness. War is a dreadful thing, and unjust; war is a crime against humanity. But it is such a crime because it is unjust, not because it is war. The choice must ever be in favor of righteousness, and this whether the alternative be peace or whether the alternative be war. The question must not be merely, Js there f$o be peace or war? The question (ixtust be. is the right to prevail? Are the great laws of righteousness once more to be fulfilled? And the answer from a strong and virile people must be, "Yes," whatever the cost. Every honorable effort should always be made by the Individual In private life to keep out of a brawl, to keep out of trouble; but no self-respecting individual, no self-respecting nation, can or ought to submit to wrong. Finally, even more important than ability to work, even more important than ability to fight a t need, is it to remember that the chief of blessings for any nation Is that It shall leave its seed to inherit the land. It was the crown of blessings in Biblical times, and It is the crown of blessings now. The greatest of all curses Is the curse of sterility, and the severest of all condemnations should be that visited upon wilful sterility. The first essential in any civilization is that the man and the woman shall be father and mother of irtttlthy children, so that the race shall increase and not decrease. If this is not so, If through no fault of society th«re is failure to increase, it is a great misfortune. If the failure la d,ae to deliberate and wilful fault, then it is not merely a misfprtuns, it is one of those crimes of ease and self-Indulgence, of shrinking from pain and effort and risk, j which In the long run nature punishes ( more heavily than any other. Idle Achievements. If we of the great republics, if we, the free people who claim to have emancipated ourselves from the thraldom of wrong and error, bring down on our heads the curse that comes upon the wilfully barren, then it will be an idle waste of breath to prattle of our achievements, to boast, of all that we have done. No refinement of life, no delicacy of taste, no material progress, no sordid heaping up of riches.no sensuous development, of art and literature, can in any way compensate for the loss of the great fundamental virtues; and of the great fundamental virtues, the greatest is the race's power to perpetuate the race. But if a man's efficiency is not guided and regulated by a moral Bense. then the more efficient he is the worse he is, the more dangerous to the body politic. Courage, intellect, all the masterful qualities, serve but to make a man more evil if they are used merely for that man's own advancement, with brutal indifference to the rights of others. It speaks ill for the community if the community worships these qualities and treats their possessors as heroes regardless of whether the qualities are used rightly or wrongly. It makes no difference as to the precise way in which this sinistongue is the splendid French epic I ter efficiency is shown. It makes no which tell* of Roland's doom and the/ difference whether such a man's force and ability betray themselves in tot career of money maker or,politician, soldier or orator, journalist or popular leader. If the man worka for evil* then the more successful be Is, the more he should be despised and condemned by all upright and tarseelng men. To judge a man merely by success is an abhorrent wrong; and If the people at large habitually so Judge men, if they grow to condone wickedness because the wicked man triumphs, they show their Inability to understand that in the last analysis free institutions rest upon the character of citizenship and that by such admiration of evil they prove themselves unfit for liberty. The Idea of True Liberty. The good citizen will demand liberty for himself, and as a matter ot pride he will Bee to it that others receive the liberty which he thus claims as his own. Probably the best test ot true love of liberty in any country is the way in which minorities are treated in that country. Not only should there be complete liberty In matters of religion and opinion, but complete liberty for each man to lead his life as he desires, provided only that in so doing he does not wrong his neighbor. Persecution 1B bad because it is persecution, and without reference to which side happens at the moment to be the persecutor" and which the persecuted. Class hatred is bad in just the same way, and without any regard to the individual who, at a given time, substitutes loyalty to a class for loyalty to the nation, or substitutes hatred of men because they happen to come in a certain social category, for judgment awarded them according to their conduct. Remember always that the same measure of condemnation should be extended to the arrogance which would look down upon or crush any man because he is poor, and to the envy and hatred which would destroy a man because he is wealthy. The overbearing brutality of the man of wealth or power, and the envious and hateful malice directed against wealth or power, are really at root merely different manifestations of the same quality, merely the two sides of the same shield, The man who, if born to wealth and power, exploits and ruins his less fortunate brethren is at heart the same as the greedy and violent dema gogue who excites those who have not property to plunder those who have. Of one man In especial, beyond anyone else, the citizens of a republic should beware, and that la of the man who appeals to them to support him on the ground that he is hostile to other citizens of the republic, that he will secure for those who elect him, in one shape or another, profit at the expense of other citizens of the republic. It makes no difference whether he appeals to class hatred or class Interest, the man who makes such an appeal should always be presumed to make it for the sake of furthering his own interest The very thing that an Intelligent and self-respecting member of a democratic community Bhould not do is to reward any public man because that public man saya he will get the private citizen something to which this private citizen is not entitled, or will gratify some emotion or animosity which this private citizen ought not to possess. If a public man tries to get your vote by saying that he will do something wrong in your Interest, you can be absolutely certain that If ever it becomes worth his while he will do something wrong against your interest. France and the United States. And now, my host, a word In parting, You and I belong to the only two great republics among the great powers of the world. The ancient friendship between France and the United States has been, on the whole, a sincere and disinterested friendship. A calamity to you would be a Borrow to us. But it would be more than that. In the seething turmoil of the history of humanity certain nations stand out aa possessing a peculiar power or charm, some special gift of beauty or wisdom of strength, which puts them among the immortals, which makes them rank forever with the leaders of mankind. France is one of the nations. For her to sink would be a loss to all the world. There are certain lessons of brilliance and of generous gallantry that she can teach better than any of her sister nations. When the French peasantry sang of Malbrook it was to tell how the soul of this warrior-foe took flight upward through the laurels he had won. Nearly seven centuries ago Frolssart, writing of a time of dire disaster, said that the realm of France was never so stricken that there were not left men who would valiantly fight for it You have had a great past. I believe, that you will have a great future. Long may you carry yourselves proudly as citizens of a nation which bears a leading part in the teaching and up lifting of mankind. Seemed So.

London is smiling over a story told regarding little Miss Asquith, who is at that tender age when indiscreet remarks are still pardonable. Mrs. Asquith had taken her small daughter out to tea, and while her mother was talking to some friends at the other end of the room, little Margaret endeavored to entertain a conservative statesman who sat near her. "Do you like Mr. Lloyd-George?" sh£ asked when there was a lull in the conversation, "No," said he, smiling, "I can't say that I do."

Stop/ This Fact—that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman—a woman whose experience witri women's diseases covers twenty-five years. The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, was (or years under her direction, and has ever since her decease continued to advise women. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. Such questioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. MRS. PINKHAlvTS STANDING INVITATION: Women suffering from any form of female weakness areinvited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn» Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established this confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Never has she published a testimonial or used a letter without the written consent of th£ writer, and never has the company allowed these cqnrV dential letters to get out of their possession, as the hui*» dreds of thousands of them in their files will attest Out of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. pii>Jc|- hamNhas to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge needed in your 'case. She asks nothing in return except your goodwill, and.freY advice has helped thousands.

Samuel Oompers, at the recent convention In Washington of the Civic Federation, said of children: "Children should be protected from other evils besides the one evil of wage slavery, for, when free as air, tfrey have enough trouble, dear knows. "Walking along an East side street, I came on two tiny tots, the smaller of whom was bawling as if to break his lungs. "A window opened and a little girl shrieked: " 'Tommy, who's been a-hittin' of ye?' '"Nobody's been a-hittin' of him,' the larger tot answered. 'He's swallered a worm.' " Evidently Not. They had met at Bluepoint, L. I., two years before and were celebrating it by a little dinner at a cafe. "I shall nfeyer forget how we became acquainted," he was saying. "So romantic. In swimming. That was when I first saw you. You went into three feet of water and got frightened. I rescued you from a watery grave and We were friends at once." He called? the waiter. "Bring me the wine list," he said, explaining. "Because we began our acquaintance in a watery way, it needn't always be watery." MARK TWAIN, GREAT HUMORIST, IS O P E X P I R E S U N E X P E C T E D L Y , A T 6:30 T H U R S D A Y E V E N I N G A f ^ # R DAY OF UNUSUAL COMFORT. GREAT W R I T E R WAS 75 YEARS OLD; ONE DAUGHTER, MRS. QABRlLOWrTSCH, SURVIVES. Angina Pectoris the Cause of Death; Daughter Jean's Demise Behind the Great Humorist's I tineas. Samuel Langhorne Clemens, "Mark Twain," died painlessly at 6:30 Thurs day night at Redding, Ct., of angina pectoris. He lapsed into coma at '& o'clock in the afternoon and never recovered consciousness. It was the end of a man worn out by grief and acute agony of body. He was 75 years eld. All hope of recovery was Abandoned when It was evident to the physicians attendant upon him that the patient was gradually losing ground. He had been conscious through practically all of his illness and had considerable knowledge of bis condition and of the fight that was in progress. His spirits kept up to the last, and he tried to joke a little with those about him. The physicians scarcely expected that he would live through the night, but in the early morning he dropped off to sleep. The morning hours gave him the best sleep he had had since he returned home, and he woke much refreshed. Because of the benefit he had derived from the night's few hours rest, hope revived that after all he might rally sufficiently to prolong his life by a few days at any rate, even though ultimate recovery seemed impossible. His condition remained improved until early in the afternoon. Throughout the forenoon he was partially conscious, now and then realizing bis surroundings and occasionally speaking a few words to express some wish or to ask a question as to his own condition or matters about his place At the death-bed were only Mrs. Gabrilowitsch (Clara Clemens), her husband, Dr. Robert Halsey, Dr. Quintard, Albert Bigelow Paine, who will write Mark Twain's biography and is his literary executor, and the two trained nurses. Restoratives—digitalis, strychnine and camphor—were administered but tho patient failed to respond. Mark Twain did not die in anguish. Sedatives soothed his pain, but in his moments of consciousness the mental depression persisted. Angina pectoris is a paroxysmal af fection of the chest of baffling and obscure origin, characterized by se vere pain; faintness SJ&4 d«ep depression of the spirits. The pain is severe and of an oppressive crushing or stabbing character. The attacks progress in frequency and severity with uncertain Intermissions, some times of long duration, to a fatal termination. Wttftra Cassia At A Grain Producer N E V E R 8 A W SUCH F I N E W H E A T A N Y W H E R E . Gust. Anderson of Maidstone, Sask, was formerly of Minnesota and has been in Central Canada three years. 6 n January 16t 1910, he writes: . "Arriving fifteen miles from Maidstone, I bought a couple of steers from a rancher, as my capital was not large, and with the two oxen I brought; with me, I broke 25 acres which I put Th crop in 1908 and had to clear some brush. I earned 146.00 by breaking fifteen acres for a neighbor and during the summer I put up hay and hauled timber and put up houses for other settlers. Notwithstanding a heavy frost on August 12th, I had 22½ bushels of wheat per acre and 60 bushels of oats. Off 35 acres of wheat in 1909, I got 27 bushels - of wheat per acre and 1,300 bushels of oats off 20 acres. I never saw such fine wheat anywhere. We have plenty of rain between May and August and after August seldom any but dry warm days. Water can be had at from 20 to 40 feet and plenty of grass for cattle." The evidence of Mr. Anderson Is given because it is encouraging to the man of small means who is desirous of bettering his condition. It shows what can be done, and there is really but small limit to the man with push and energy to become wealthy on Canadian lands. And the grain that he raises is good. A press dispatch says: The quality of the wheat continues to be the feature of the deliveries. In the total of 3,378 cars in the February Inspections there were 2,847 of high grade stuff, a percentage of 84.28. For January the percentage was 82.21, and for the six months it was 88.6. This is an unusually high average, and it demonstrates beyond the shadow of a doubt that the farmers in this part of the Dominion still know how to grow first-class wheat. The crop of 1908 was considered good enough, and its average of contract wheat was only 70 per cent. Good weather throughout the season was an important factor, of course, in insuring the high quality of the grain, and it is not likely that atmospheric influences of so favorable a character will be encountered for a long time to come. The best that can be expected is that a fair average for a term of years will be maintained. Pennsylvanif n'e Lapse of Memory. Forgetting that he had Btarted to draw a gallon of whisky from a barrel in the cellar, A. C. Hidlay, proprietor of the Hotel Hidlay. Bloomsburg, Pa., left the spigot turned on and went upstairs. Two hours later he remembered it and hastened there. He found that it had all run away and into the sewer. His loss because of his lapse of memory will be about $100.—From the Philadelphia Record. POSTUM FOR MOTHERS The Drink That Nourishes and Supplies Food for Mother and Child. "My husband had been unable to drink coffee for several years, so we were very glad to give Postum a trial and when we understood that long boiling would bring out the delicious flavour, we have been highly pleased with it "It is one of the finest things for nursing mothers that I have ever seen. It keeps up the mother's strength and Increases the supply of nourishment for the child if partaken of freely. I drank it between meals instead of water and found it most beneficial. "Our five-year-old boy has been very delicate stnee birth and haft developed slowly. .He was white and bloodless. I began to give him Postum freely and you would be surprised at the change.

It can be stated on authority that President Taft has decided to offer the vacancy on the supreme court bench, caused by Justice Brewer's death, to Gov. Hughes, of New York. Members of the New York state delegation in congress doubt whether Gov. Hughes will accept, and it is reported the assurance also may be given to the governor that in the event of a vacancy In the chief justiceship in President Taft's administration, he would be appointed to that place. But reports have been carried to the president that Gov. Hughes probably would accept an offer of this character. Chief Justice Fuller is eligible to retire, but he enjoys good health and so far as can be learned has no thought of leaving the bench. The Gould-Drexel Wedding. In a downpour of rain Miss Mar jorle Gould was married to Anthony J.

Few weddings had attracted a larger or more eagerly curious street crowd. Thousands of women and some hundreds of men were so intent in taking a peep at Miss Gould and the society folk that they stood for hours in a steady downpour. They endured the sodden weather for three hours, and occasionally rushed the police lines. Sultan Mehemed W of Turkey, is suffering from a alight attack of measles.

"Tell her majesty," replied John In F r a n k i e D n n n i n g is a t t e n d i n g j his usual Doric, "that 1 am rinnlu' a salmon and 1 canna come."

None but the happy can belong to it; none but those who seek happiness will be permitted to "have a good cry" in order to realize happiness. The Idea of such a club, It seems, was suggested by the splendid success of Maeterlinck's Charming and beautiful poem-play, $ T h c Blue Bird* This la a dfliicloua ''fantasy for children and adults alike, and it teaches the truth that happiness lies near at hand, in one's home and immediate surroundings, rather than in distant unrealizable plans and ambitions. Those who deliberately and assiduously seek happiness fall to find it, or find it only when, after many disappointments and shattered illusions, they return home—apparently emptyhanded. It may seem at first that the moral of Maeterlinck's play bars the seeking of happiness in a club as well as in any other external, material thing, but we must not be too logical and too pedantic. There is no reason why people with the genius for happiness should not flock together and afford an example to those of us who worry and fret and take life too tragically or business too gloomily. IN TWELVE COUNTIES OF MICHIGAN LICENSED LIQUOR-SELLING CEASED MAY 1ST. LA8T DAY MARKED BY LITTLE DISTURBANCE—8IX BREWERIE8 OUT OF OU8INE88. Most Dealer* Managed to Dispose of Their Stocks, People Laying In Heavy Supplies. This being the centennial year of the independence of various South American republics, the people of the United States will have ample opportunity for demonstrating sympathy and goodwill. Chile has invited our government to participate in a cele bratlon to be held next September, and the authorities at Washington have accepted. A division of the Pa- ^.oJfic fleet, Including several of the Be est ships of the navy will rendezvous on the Chilean coast and will take part tn the display on the occasion. As arrangements have already beeu made to have our government represented at a similar observance In Argentina to take place earlier, the United States delegation may go to Chile to give further proof of interest in the later demonstration. All these exercises are full of promise as tending to strengthen the good relations between the United States and the Latin-American nations. Twelve counties in Michigan bade farewell May 1 to the licensed saloon for at least two years. At the same time 292 saloons and six breweries went out of business for the same length of time. Contrary to expectations, the closing day was marked by little disturbance In the counties affected. Liquor dealers did a heavy business during the week with those anxious to lay in supplies of beer and booze •—so heavy, in fapt, that many saloons closed Friday for the reason that they had nothing left to sell. Jugs will be a scare article for a time in most of the cities where the saloons went out of business, having been bought in large numbers to hold the aforesaid supplies of booze In household cellars. The counties which became dry last night, with the number of saloonB in each, are as follows: Antrim, 18; Arenac, 11; Cass, IS; Gladwin, 9; Ingham, 54; Lapeer, 23; Lenawee, 61; Ogemaw, 10; Osceola, 1; Otsego, 14; PreBque Isle, 31; Shiawassee, 42. In spite of everything, some Americana can manage to save something. William Hanhart, secretary of the Sav ings Bank Section of the American Bankers' association, has made public n compilation from reports of the national monetary commission, showing that the average deposit in American savings banks is almost four times as great as the average for Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceanica, Canada, etc., and that the average deposit per capita is almost four times greater in the United States than in the other portions of the world mentioned. The statistics place the total savings deposits in the world at $15,389,672,014, and of this enormous sum $5,678,735,- 379 belongs to prudent and thrifty Americans. Wholesale Liquor House Barred. The Holly council, elected for the express purpose of keeing the town "dry" if Oakland county should go "wet"—which It did—has again frustrated the liquor interests. When a license for a saloon was denied the applicant went to the supervisors, obtaining permission to open a saloon just outside the corporation limits. He has done nothing to start his saloon, and it is not believed he will do so at all. But he came forward with a proposition to establish a wholesale house in town. The council was advised by the attorney-general that they could not refuse a license for such a place, but that they might exact bonds up to $6,000. This the council, at a special meeting, proceeded to do. The law demands- two local sureties, and there is but o~.e who can qualify. Embarrassing situations are bound to grow out of the common use of wireless telegraphy, and the sooner international regulation is established the better it will be for all concerned. When the Italian steamer, Duca d' Aosta, was at sea on her recent trip her operator "picked up" a dispatch warning one of her passengers to heware of arrest In Sicily. This made the captain suspicious and he sent an ncrogram to the chief of police at Naples, who is now trying to discover what it all means. There may have hr^en sound reasons for this display of interest in this particular case, but the incident shows how easily a practical joker could bring down serious trouble upon the head of an innocent sea voyager. Fall of Paroled Men. According to figures issued by the pardon board of the state an increase of 113 applicants for parole for the year 1909 were received over the previous year 1908. The total number for 1908 was 595, while for the year 1909 the number had reached a total of 698. However, it is rather startling that of C98 applicants for parole in 1909, 460 of this number were granted what they asked for, but 19 of them were sent back to prison for violating the parole Issued to them. Figures compiled also show that the number of paroles dented for 1909 was a decrease over 1908 of 14, while the number of applications, number paroled and number of violations of parole all showed an increase. These figures include the prisons at Detroit, Jackson, Marquette and Ionia. A large number of the violators of paroles, it appears are returned to prison again because they have imbibed too freely, and while under the influence of liquor committed depredations that they might not have done under other conditions.

Audi tor rGeneral Fuller says that there are 754,990 school children in Michigan who will be credited in the apportionment, of the primary school money. At the present time there are nearly 7,000 more children of school age in the Btate than at the time when the report was made out a year ago. If the apportionment is made at the rate of $5 per capita, the amount distributed will reach $3,774,950, but unless some of the larger railroads in the state pay their taxes shortly the amount will not reach anywhere near that amount. At present the auditor-general says that there is hardly enough cash In the primary fund to pay at the rate of $2 and it is up to the railroads to come across with their cash at once. There is a penalty to be inflicted upon the railroads for failure to pay before May 1 and Fuller says that this will be inflicted If they do not remit. The apportionment will be made May 10. Coliister Gets Two Years. Declaring in open court that the statements regarding his attempt to rob the State Bank of Laingsburg which he made to the police after his arrest were correct in every particular, Robert Coliister in Circuit Judge Welst'a court at Lansing pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy and abetting.

The Northwestern Michigan Development Bureau headquarters at Bay City is in receipt of a letter from Prof. L. R. Taft, of the M. A. C, in which the writer speaks highly of the favorable climate and soil of the northeastern part of the Btate for fruit growing. Prof. Taft says it is a mistaken Idea that fruit will grow only along the west shore of Michigan in the famous "fruit belt." and that the eastern shore has conditions just as good. The farmers In the vicinity of hunger were thoroughly frightened by a disease that killed two cattle suddenly and which was thought to be a return of the dreaded "hoof and mouth" disease that was prevalent last year. James Norman lost two cows and th« report spread that the disease had broken out.

When State Land Commissioner Russell placed on sale between S00 and 1,000 acres of land in Wfexford county at Cadillac the other day for back taxes he was unable to get a bid. It is said that the land is not suitable for agricultural purposes. The Commonwealth Power Co. put in a claim to the land, contending that they secured it by right of purchase afr $3 per acre. It has since oean learned, however, that when the company contracted for the land they failed to look up the tax title, and that for several years the tax remained unpaid, therefore reverting to the state under the delinquent tax act. The company values the land at $54 an acre. It is said that the company will require at least 40 acres of this parcel to complete the proposed powmr merger. • E A t IN THI U. ». 8INATI COST UOIUMKft IttNUW-NtWaPAPlft PLOT,SAY*kOftllftKll RtPBEMENTATIVK CHARLES A.

Once upon a time a fond mother disapproved of her daughter marrying. This was the more awkward because the young lady had picked the young man out. Also he had wealth. And the mother, who was widowed, had not the wherewithal to furnish her daughter with the variety of frocks and things which her youthful heart craved. "I might not object to the man so much," said the mother one evening, "if you would only let me see him. But here is a man whom I have never set eyes on, and yet one whom you insist on taking for a husband. I don't understand such secrecy!" The daughter replied: "If I ever introduced him you'd insist on marrying him yourself." f« 1 '""•I No man can be brave who considers pain to be the greatest evil of life; nor temperate who considers' pleasure the highest good.—Cicero.

The story opens with the Introduction of John Stephen*, adventurer, a Massachusetts man marooned by authorities at Valparaiso, Chile. Beta* interested In mining operations in Bolivia, he was denounced by Chile as an Insurrectionist and as a consequence was hiding. At his hotel his attention was attracted by an Englishman and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunken officer. He was thanked by her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted 8tephens, 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. Stephens accepted the commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which he was assigned. He- gave them final instructions. They boarded the vessel. They successfully captured the vessel supposed to be the Esmeralda, through strategy. Capt. Stephens gave directions for the departure of the craft. He entered the cabin and discovered the English woman and her maid. Stephens quickly learned the wrong vessel had been captured. It was Lord Darlington's private yacht, the lord's wife and maid being aboard. He explained the situation to her ladyship. Then First Mate Tuttle laid bare the plot, saying that the Sea Queen had been taken in order to go to the Antarctic circle. ' Tuttle explained that on a former voyage he had learned that the Donna Isabel was lost in 1753. He had found It frosen In a huge case of ice on an Island and contained much gold. Stephens consented to be the captain of the expedition. He told Lady Darlington. She was greatly alarmed, but expressed confidence in hira. The Sea Queen encountered a vessel In the fog. Stephens attempted to communicate. This caused a fierce struggle and he was overcome. Tuttle finally squaring the situation. Then the Sea Queen headed south again. Under Tuttle's guidance the vessel rrtaae progress toward its goal. De Nova, the mate, told Stephens that he believed Tuttle, now acting as skipper, Insane because of his queer actions. Stephens was awakened by crashing of glass. He saw Tuttle In the grip of a spasm of religious mania and overcame him..The sailor upon regaining his senses was taken 111. Tuttle committed suicide by shooing. Upon vote of the crew Stephens assumed the leadership and the men decided to continue the treasure hunt, the Islands being supposed to be only>IOs miles distant. Tuttle was buried In the s*a, Lady Darlington pronouncing the service. Stephens awaking from sleep saw the ghost, supposed to have formed the basis for Tuttle's religious mania Upon advice of Lady Darlington, StepheM started to probe the ghost. He came upon Lieut. Sanchez, the drunken officer he had humbled In Chile. He found that at Benches' Inspiration, Engineer McKnight played "ghost" to scare the men Into giving up the quest. Stephens announced that the Sea Queen was at the spot where Tuttle's quest was sup- 8Bed to be. The crew was anxious to go In further search. De Nova and Stephejts conquered them In a fist fight. Lady Barllngton thanked him. The Sea Queen i t e r ted northward. cloaiof the dspths of thosa gray • ? * . "Not with mo, Mr, Stephen; j tm not ay woman to forget" fh Wrrioh th« YacMt Motto Waastar. . I have been endeavoring to recall in sequence the occurrences og tfce three days and night* following our turning northward, but it la all chaos, vague, confused—an expanse of sleepless hours, raging seas, snow, sleet, and Ice, in U » midst ol which we battled foe Ufa in as de^perasaiy terrific a fight ashman-, ejar wagejdjigatest nature. I can seo-jwdfe^m *U,ciearly enough, yet the incidents are so commingled that the separata days and nights appear one continuous event, without beginning or and. I hear the ceaseless howl of the wind, the growl of grinding ice, the smiting of tons of water, the threshing of loosened -can •as, the rattle of blocks aloft, the thousand noises emitted by the struggling fabric-under foot I see the awirl of snow; the crested seas, boiling in xnadneis; the gleam of pursuing Icefields; the towering plnnacleB of giant bergs overhanging oar mast-heads; the flying clouds, and the settling down about us of the ghostly frost fog. I feel the wild plunge down into the hollow; the sickening, staggering effort to climb up; the dissy balancing upon the crest, and that awful drop again into the hell below! No man on board will ever know how we made it; bow we ever found passage through those wind-lashed CHAPTER XIX.—Continued. "They've had enough," I said, breathing hard. "Go back on the bridge, De Nova, Now, you lads, get busy. If one of you soldiers, or talks back to me again, he'll go to his bunk for the rest of this voyage. Get up, Anderson, and stop that growling! You fellows may as welt learn first as last that I am commanding the Sea Queen, and that we are homeward bound." Within-the" space of five minutes I had the whole gang at It, a profane, shuffling crew enough, yet carrying out my orders after a fashion, and sufficiently cowed to be obedient. At last I dispatched the starboard watch below, and, leaving De Nova in charge of the bridge, started back to the companion. To my surprise Lady Darlington, muffled to the eyes, still stood, half protected, in the open door of tho chatt-house. "What in the world are you doing h e r e i n all this snow and blow?" I questioned. "Waiting for you," she explained, her eyes glowing. "I could not go to the cabin until I knew you had really won. Is it true that we are homeward bound?" "Yes," I answered, not altogether happy over her evident pleasure. "The Sea Queen has attained her farthest southing. Are you glad?" "GladTl; Her ftftfbd hands sought mine.

Once our engines broke, and for two hours we rolled helplessly, while McKnight and the Chilean tinkered at the damaged machinery, and the great waves buried us, and smashed the charthouse Into fragments. Once the rudder-chains became fouled with ice, and we swung into the trough of the sea hurled over until our lower yards trailed in the water and half the yacht shivered beneath the smother, we hanging on for our lives, drenched and buffeted by the waves. The jib-boom snapped like a pipestem, and a huge, ugly hole was ripped out of the forward bulwarks. Up to the neck in icy water we chopped away the raffle, and flung it overboard. s'ustafson, shrieking wildly for help, went with the litter, while his mates bore Symes below groaning from a broken leg. Mersiful heavens, how that Ice came down, pursuing us like the very Fiend! Once It pressed BO closely against our quarter that the sea, rebounding from off its front, boarded us, sweeping aft in. a vast wall. It caught Dade opening the companion; door, hurled him smothering backward and flooded the cabin a foot deep in icy water. Yet we held to it, our eyes aching, our limbs frozen, our oilskins stiff with ice, the exposed flesh of our faces one U r.ering frostbite, bruised by the shocks, half dead from fatigue, dizay fioni the battle. But it was no seamanship which saved us; it was a merciful Providence, for at times the smother was so thick we ran into it blJndly, not daring to broach to with all that ice after us, driven by the wind, and not knowing what was ten :^ard8 ahead, or ten yards behind. During all that time I scarcely left tlie deck, although De Nova served his watch on the bridge in the flying spray. Dade fed me as best he could, and •vhat brief snatches of sleep I caught were on the divan in the cabin, my icy clothes drying on my body. I saw nothing of the women; there was no lime, no opportunity. I doubt if either could have kept upright amid the awful pitching of the yacht, for I was obliged myself to creep from one hand-grasp to another. So I saw nothing of the ladies, but Dade succeeded iu taking them food—cold provender, for the galley waa wave-lashed, the cook driven below—although how the lad ever managed it la a mystery, and he it ported that Celeste clung to her isauk, tick and n%utaasd, but tfct*. * ' ' . „ i. ) . , , . • > . . , ; > ' • , — ' ' • * • » Lady Darlington was about and dressed whenever he went in. Some time during 1M third day' the. wind had blown Itself out. or also, we had boon driven beyond the sweep of it Anyhpv* it <>^d down into faint puffs, but. the tea, remained heavy, the tug thickening as the gale ceased. This curtaia, coupled with the sparse light there was, left tho decks so dark that wa attempted little clearing up, merely pointing the yacht's nose more, directly northward at half-speed, trusting the Almighty to furnish us with clear water, indeed, there was nothing else to do with that ice-pack back of us, and the fierce seas pounding our poop. Besides, I had come to the end of my endurance, and when De Nova came limping forward, hanging to the life-line, to take his watch, I crept below more dead than alive, and clawed my way across the cabin. Lady Darlington stood braced in her doorway, yet for the life of me I could not speak, although I tried—my head nodded on my shoulders, and I fell forward across my bunk, asleep before I even struck the mattress. -Dade said she made him pull off my ' boots and loosen my muffler, standteg over him until It was done. It was not sleep—it was more like death, for I never stirred or knew anything. I lay exactly a» I fell, utterly insensible to either noise or motion. It was Dade's vigorous shaking that finally aroused me, nor did be desist until he had me sitting up in the bunk, my eyes wide open. "What time is it. Dade?" "Two o'clock, sir." "Morning?" "No, sir, afternoon; but the fog Is that thick outside you can't see your own nose." "Then I've been asleep for six hours. Why didn't you call me earlier?" "Mr. De Nova told me to let you lie, sir; I guess the lady asked him to do it." I had pulled on my boots, and was standing up, gazing out through the door into the cabin, where Dade still remained, watching to see that I did not go back to sleep again. Suddenly there came a tremendous shock which sent me sprawling forward, and flung Dade headlong against the wall. As I struck the deck a thunderous crash and roar sounded forward; the stern of the vessel seemed to spring upward into the air, sliding us both down against the front of the cabin. Instantly there followed two muffled reports, accompanied by a further uptilting of the stern. Everything loose came tumbling down upon us, and, as I pulled myself to my knees, I found the deck slanting upward like the steep side of a hill. "Oh, Lord, sir, what's been done?" "We've hit something hard; ice, likely. Jump, now, and help me get out the women." The awful, sickling poise of the stricken boat, swinging stern-up to the motion of the waves, was enough to shatter the courage of any man, and I could read speechless terror in Dade's face. Yet the lad stayed with me, and together we clambered up the incline of the deck, gripping at the table to help us. The door of the after-cabin was either locked or had become stuck; I did not wait to learn which, but burst it open with a swift, heavy kick. The light streamed in upon a scene of chaos—overturned furniture and. broken glass. Celeste lay In one corner screaming hysterically; Lady Darlington was upon her knees, holding herself partially erect by clasping the brass rail of the bed. "Quick!" I cried, before either could speak. "Gather up all the warm clothing you can reach. We must get on - • ••• ewedeck. Here, let ma help you,!* * We were scarcely a minute at the task; and the four of us, laden with apparel slid >nd scrambled down the slope of -cabin'floor to the companion* step* Hees I caught -Lady {Darlington more doaeiy to me, helping her climb the inverted stairs. Her face was pale, her eyea fearless. "What is it? What has happened?" MI hardly know myself; only that we have hit something and are badly damaged." It waa like night on deck, the enveloping fog so dense that a human form was Indistinguishable five feet away. Fortunately but little wind stirred, and the sea had gone down. I could distinguish De Nova's voice as he sang out a sharp order. I hollowed my hands, and hailed. A dim smudge leaned over the rail above, and peered down. "Was sat you, monsieur?" "Ay, with the women. What is it, De Nova, a total smash?" "By gar, oui! Ze whole bow c£ve in; ze deck crush' to ze main-hatch; ze after-bulkhead was ze only sing w'at hold us up. Sacre, it not hold long." I grasped the entire situation instantly, realizing the desperate need of haste, of cool, Intelligent command. "Send a man down here to help Dade tote up provisions. Jump lively, now; get biscuits and canned goods, my lads, and whatever blankets you can find. HuBtle for your lives! Now, De Nova, reach over, and help the women up—easy; that's right." ^ I held tightly to my lady, clinging to the rail, as I crept across; The black, shapeless figures of several men, whose faces I could not distinguish in the gloom, were clambering about the longboat. "Everything fitted?" "Ay, ay, sir." "What have you got?" "Oars, mast, canvas, and fresh water." I reached forward to assure myself that the rudder had been properly shipped, and the plugs securely driven in. "All right; here come the provisions. Dump them in anywhere, lads. Yes, go back for another load, but for God's sake hurry! De Nova, help me Btow the women; gently, but quickly now. Stand by, all of you. Here is the rest of the provender. Now tumble in, lads, and let fall. Ease her off, ease her off, you fools!" The black smudge dropped downward, and leaning far over the slanting rail I could see it strike the water and ride free. The sodden, wrecked hull beneath me rose and fell with a heavy, sickening motion which brought the heart up into my throat. "Are those all the living men left, Mr. De Nova?" I called down, for the first time realizing how few*they were. "Zey was all I know." Another voice spoke, gruff from excitement. "The fellows for'ard had no chance, sir; all alive are here." I swung over the side, and shot down the line into the boat. "Cast off, then. Oars, men! the yacht is going under." With a single sweep of the hastily plied blades we were beyond sight of the plunging hull, yet we had not taken half a dozen strokes before we were tossed roughly by a sudden convulsion of the sea. "My God, she's gone!" shouted a voice forward. All I could distinguish within the boat were the two women next me at the stern—Celeste, with her face buried in her arms, and my lady Btaring into the icy fog. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Put Happy End to Quarrel Tactful Act That Reconciled Old Friends Long Parted. The passenger on the car looked slightly alarmed, investigation was proving that he had no smaller change than a five-dollar bill. He offered it to the conductor in vain. "Can't make the change." said the autocrat, reaching for the bell rope. The passenger started meekly for the door. A man in front of him Btood up suddenly and said: "Let me pay your fare, John."

The scowl slowly melted from John's brow, and soon the two men were seated side by side, chatting con genially. After John left the air, the stranger •<•••'• fc. betook himself to the platform with his cigar, where he explained to the conductor. "That man and I used to be good friends, but we had a quarrel and have not been on speaking terms for years.

Tom Howard waa not cot •at for a clergyjuftn. ije was Tom ut Kbool, Tom ill college aud Tom Is the theological seminary. Lie was a good fellow whom ©ferybody loved, a big framed, big hearted man who should have followed au active career. "< Lie had stood low la bis classes while In college, but had redeemed hlmselt ou the football grldlrou, carrying his university colore to victory ou his own herculean shoulders. When Tom accepted his first call he tried extemporaneous sermons. They were not satisfactory. Members of bis congregation hinted to him, that they would prefer written sermons. This was a blow to him. ID college he £pd ueumttj secured the services of some student possessing literary gifts*to write his .essays for him. lie returned to that plan. Howard skirmished till he secured the name of a clergyman living in a small town distant from the city iu which he himself lived who made a practice of writing sermons for other incumbents of pulpits. Tom thought it a pity that this man was born with the ability to write not only his own sermons, but those of other people, while he, poor fellow, was not able even to write his owu. There was something pathetic iu this big broad shouldered fellow, in the vigor of his youth, strong as an ox, not being able to get up a homily that would require -a brief twenty minutes to deliver. Howard wrote the liev. Egbert lnglehart asking if he would sell him sermons. Inglehart replied that he would and named his price. Howard agreed to pay It and ordered half a dozen sermons. They were sent within a ^aflfcTtight. and Howard was delighted with them. After delivering one of them many of his congregation surrounded hi in, pouring forth eon gratulations that he had found the true method of getting up his sermons. Mr. Howard congratulated himself that he; had. At the same time he felt somewhat uncomfortable at having his abilities supplied by another. There were certain points in the sermons that were very unlike Mr. Howard, a feminine, tenderness at times .more befitting a reverend cream cheese than a reverend athlete. Howard wrote Mr. Inglehart about it. and In ..glehnrt asUed him to send him his photograph. The photograph was sent. and Mr. Inglehart asked: "Why didn't 7011 send, it before? Now 1 know what kind of a man yon are and ran write (for you accordingly." I . T h e nt'Vt sermon received was a Thanksgiving address to he delivered (>n the date of a great fooiball match between two prominent universities. It was bristling with such expressions as "light the good tight." "smote them hip and thigh" and "conquer by the Lord's help." In delivering it the minister \v:is in his element, and his sermon was voted a brilliant success. From that time forward Howard continued to grow in favor with his flock. Most of the girls in the congregation set their caps for him. Hut there is safety in numbers. Resides, the clergyman didn't fancy an.\ of them. However, he received n.any hints that the church would prefer a married pastor, and he began to think ho must marry or And another field of labor. Thinking that one who had helped him out so well with his sermons might be equally serviceable in k matter of matrimony, he wrote Mr. t Inglehart. with whom he had become quite intimate through correspondence. of his dilemma and asked him if ho knew of any girl who would make a pood clergyman's wife. Inglehart replied that there were a number of fine young women in his parish and if he would come up Inglehart would give , i i m a chance to look them over. IIownrd replied that he would go up for a brief visit in Lent, because he wished to talk over a sermon for Easter that would bear upon the duty of the young men of his congregation to marry. This would include himself, but he was doing his own duty in looking for a wife. So during the second week in Lent, Howard, having secured a classmate in the seminary to take his place at daily services for a day or two. went to visit inglehart He had expected that as n matter of course his reverend brother would invite him to stay * a f his house. But he received no such Invitation and on arrival went to a hotel. The same morning he called on Inglehart. "Please step Into the study," said the maid who admitted him. Howard passed Into the study and tew a girl writing at a desk. -./'Beg pardon." he said. "J supposed "Teho'iild find your father in here." ; "You are Mr. Howard, i know you from the photograph you sent me." **Sentf/o«r "Yes; l pass a* Egbert Inglehart. That was my father's name.

Any one in LLU' habit of perusing old loiters is stitp-k with the tone of great humiiky ;i;ul defereuce which pervtulrs the correspondence of our ancestors. A few specimens of the style of beginning aud ending letters may prove interesting as in striking contrast to the laconic "yours obediently," "faith fully" or "truly" of the present day. It would certainly be difficult to match the following subscription of a letter from the Duke of Shrewsbury to Sir Thoimis Ilanmer, dated September. 1713: "1 desire that you will believe that, wherever 1 am, I shall always endeavor to deserve and very much value your friendship, being, with a sincere esteem, sir, your most faithful and obedient servant, Shrewsbury." Frequently one meQts with bellicose subscriptions, as in the case of the Earls of Hutly and Errol, who in 1594 threatened "awful consequences to the magistrates of Aberdeen unless they released certain gentlemen imprisoned in their city and inscribed, "Yours as ye will, either present peace or weir."

We shall never be in danger of forgetting that our ancestors did their sums on their fingers so long as arithmetic retains the word "digits." Bur modern civilization knows nothing of the elaborate developments of This method. It takes a Wallachian peasaut to multiply S by 9 on his hands. This is how he does it: The fingers of either hand, beginning with the thumb, stand for the numbers from C to l a So the ring finger of one hand and the middle finger of the other are stuck out to represent 8 and 0. Counting the fingers remaining on the side farthest from the thumbs he finds them 1 and 2 respectively, and 1 multiplied by 2 gives him the units of his product— 2. Then he counts from the thumbs to the stuck out fingers inclusive, finds them 3 and 4. adds these, and gets 7 for his tens. Answer, 72. All this to avoid knowing the multiplication in hie beyond 4 times 4: prompttvo Warned in all eooni rcs e« NO t rai*. ^ •nMOt.MARKS.CrtvwiWataU'ot >* -M*r<;'•'•- i*tere<t. Send Sketch.

The short braces or blocks set on this piece of timber and leaning against the posts will keep the wheets from running too near the posts. A flat Btone should form the foot of the .underground brace, The earth should be well tamped around the braces and the posts. CELERY MUST HAVE MOISTURE No Variety Should Ever Be Permitted to Suffer From the Lack of Water. (By T. OREINER.) All celery varieties like a rich and moist (not wet) soil. When the soil is dry, water must be supplied by irrigation or other ways, else the ph\nts will suffer. For the early c r o p ! sow Golden Self-Blanching or White Plume seed In flats under glass along In February and transplant the young seedlings either in nursery rows rather thickly to make plants for r<>- tranaplanting, or at the right distance in the rows and proper width between the rows to grow the crop. From six to eight Inches 1B about, right from plant to plant, and three to four feet from rpw to row, if the plants are to be blanched by means of boards, which to me seem to be (he simplest method. For the late crop Qiant Pascal or some other green celery Is selected, and seed planted usually in plant beds In open ground in July, or perhaps even August, the plants are transplanted, and set In well-prepared soil, with about eight Inches of space between the plants, and four feet or more space between the rows. Neither patch should ever be permitted to suffer from l*ck of water. Bunch Beans. Gardeners in our vicinity have told us for years that It did not pay to grow bunch beans. Last year I determined to make an experiment of the matter for myself, says a writer in the Baltimore American. I bought enough of bunch butter beans to plant 36 hills. The results surprised me and pleased me beyond expression. From the 36 hills we had an abundance of good, large-sized beans, all that were needed for a family of seven persons. I like these beans, because they are easier to cultivate than lima beans, and they do not require any poles, which is quite a Baving of labor. Now, I will say this: Next season Just try and Bee if they do not pay. Give them a good, rich soil, such as for onions. It is not necessary to hoe them more than three or four times before blossoming; then the parts form, and in a very short time there wHl be plenty of nice, large-sized, tender beans.

Or, if very large logs are to be used, 16 Inches. The hook should work loosely on a bolt through the handle and the "business end" be slightly curved inward and always kept sharp. Wet Lands. A furrow plowed through a field that is soaked with water will aid and hurry the process of drying several days. On the bare spots scatter a generous qtiantity or grass reed, manure each lightly and go over the ground with a spike-toothed harrow again. Frost throws grass roots out of the ground.

To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell falsa brands,norimitation remedies.

Bdpirmajj p | 1 acl$ffie for fee Rackeieiler fcmrioation for which congfeaa.baa been asked for a national charter. President Sctaurman devoted Ma entire apeecb of several tbooeend words to till subject and in summing up be said: •• "I recognise tbat section No. 2 of tbe bill, which defines the object of the Rockefeller foundation, authorise* aad empowers that foundation to do anything a€4 exerythliir Wbld vmay promote andfi«4wince human civilisation, that i r ^ 8 a / p m o » l « and religtoB, art and. aoi*iac«. mea»ore,aad social fntercoureeC ahd an J&at concerns the political economic, and material well being of individuals and communities. This la a vast field for the exercise of philanthropy. "But Mr. Rockefeller has conceived a vadt scheme of philanthropy, for the benefit of his fellow cittzens and man* kind. His character, ability and organizing skill are adequate guarantees tbat he will carry out bis scheme wisely and successfully, with incalculable benefit and blessing to mankind. It is in the interest of the na* tloitaM he be given a free hand In the$oxercis% of his colossal beneficence. So long as he is active or his influence remains it would be wise and aafe to give the foundation the sort of organisation he desires. Neither now nor hereafter does it seem necessary to limit the scope of bis beneficence, which Is coextensive with the efforts of mankind to attain a higher civilization. "The only change 1 would desire to see in the proposed bill 1B the total or partial elimination of the method of selecting trustees by co-operation. The organisation might well be left a close corporation, If Mr. Rockefeller so desires, for a generation. But after that time I am confident tbat it would inure both to the efficiency of the foundation the public welfare—to say noth- ^the satisfaction of the sentiment smocracy—if the majority of the were appointed by the preslof the United States, with the Ice and consent of the senate, or selected by some other high abiding, governmental agencies that may fairly be regarded as representing the people of the United States, whose welfare is the primary object of the immense and glorious benefaction."

Union to Close Every Tin Mill. Plana for carrying on war against the United, States Steel corporation by the Amalgamated association have been completed in Pittsburg, and will be put into effect the night of June 30, when the strike of tin plate workers is exactly one year old. The strike against the American Sheet * Tin Plate company baa not been a success from the standpoint of union labor, but it is arranged to adopt drastic measures. It la the purpose of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel & Tin Workers to close down every Independent tin mill In the country when the present scale expires, and keep them closed until there shall be created a great famine in tin plate. • I • • • • I • — • I . . . . , ! • , , i Boat Sinks; 187 Drown. The sealing steamer Boothick, •which reached St. Johns, N. F., has brought from the fishing grounds a report that the steamer Aurora has been sunk. It is feared, according to the report current at the fishing banks, that her entire crew of 187 men lost their Uvea. No definite confirmation of the report was obtained by the crew of the Boothick before they left the fishing grounds, and apparently no more definite news of the disaster is to be expected until the next arrival from the fishing grounds. 40,000 Miners Resume Work, The controversy between the 40,000 union miners and operators of the Pittsburg soft coal district, which has resulted in a month's suspension of mining, was settled Saturday night. The miners are to receive an advance of 5.55 per cent, but the wage matter had not lately been as much of a controversy as the permissible "powder issue." As to this it has been arranged that in the twelve mines now using explosives, which the state law demands, tests are to be made and if it is shown that permissible powder produces more slack in coal than the black powder, the miners are to be paid the difference, based on an average test In each of these mines. If the run of coal is the same, no change is to be made. WIRE BULLETINS.

I was red and raw from the top of my head to the soles of my feet and I was in continual agony from the itching. I could neither lie down nor sit up. I happened to see about Cutlcura Remedies and I thought I would give them a trial. I took a good bath with the Cuticura Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment I put ft on from my head down to my feet and then went to bed. On the first of April I felt like a new man. The itching was almost gone. I continued with the Cuticura Soap and Cultcura Ointment and during that day the itching com* pletely left me.

The family have the sympathy of their many friends here. R. E. Finch fell down stairs in his barn Friday evening last and was quite badly bruised and wrenched his back, confining him to the bed for a few days.

PINCKNKY. - - - MICHIGAN f SWAMP LANDS. i An enterprising clUxen of New Orleans has obtained title to 1.000,000 acres of swamp lands 1B Louisiana, and In concert with the Illinois Central and Southern Pacific railroads and some capitalists of Chicago it Is proposed to raiBe 11,500,000 to expend In draining the swamp, says Washington Post The.soil si the richest in the United States, and equal to any in t h $ W^rld. it i s estimated that with proper tillage It will produce over three .bales of cotton to the acre, whereas the average crop of that staple is less than one-half bale to the acre. In f*rtl8tj$tne soil of the swamp lands near the Mississippi Is practically Inexhaustible, and there are 7,000,- 000 acres of such lands in Louisiana alone, or more than 10,000 square miles. Mississippi, Arkansas, Tenneseee, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa and the states farther north have Immense areas of swamp lands more fertile than Goshen, which are now practically worthless for lack of drainage. Upon the idea that prompted the act levying a tax on oleomargarine, our government can do anything that Is expedient It has been held that the government can conserve waters in the woolly west to irrigate the public domain and subdue it to the husbandman, and it has been argued that It should remove water from lands in the Mississippi river bottoms to render them fit as field, garden and orchard. but nearly all the swamp lands of the great valley are the property of individuals, and that fact may serve to deter congress from the enterprise. TIME FOR HIS DEPARTURE DEDICATION A N D U N V E I L I N G OF T H E ^ E N . CUSTER M O N U M E N T AT MONROE J U N E 4. REUNION OF OLD MICHIGAN CU8TER CAVALRY BRIGADE A T SAME PLACE JUNE 3. President Taft Will be Present and Deliver an Address—Other Notable Peraonsagss Will be Present i In our exploitation of the west and southwest the "south" has been largely neglected, but it has not been forgotten, and recuperation has now istarted new development The south is coming into its own again and is attracting both wealth and energy from |other quarters, while its home production has assumed in value enormous (proportions, says Omaha Bee. The iajtest feature in this development is the ^stabllshiuent of experimental farms in many southern states for educational purposes along scientific lines. [The south is ambitious and is omit- [ting no effort to secure the best and most up-to-date methods and equip- |ment for the full utilising cf its resources. The climate and the soil of [the south are suited to a marked decree to the development of agricultural (pursuits. Richer soil is to be found in |but few places. Timber abounds, the (summer season is long, the rainfall is (Plentiful and everything that nature jean put at the disposal of a country to (make It agriculturally productive Is (there. ' Some of the possibilities when a:rial |nav!gatlon becomes common and general are suggested by a reccut performance at—or above—the frontier between the United States and Mexico. A man in a flying machine made half a dozen or more tnps back and forth between the two countries, and the customs officers o! both nations [looked on and were powerless to Interfere with him. The aviator made no attempt at smuggling, but had he been BO inclined he could have carried goods subject td duty an*J" defied the laws. Obviously there is likely to be some sort of international understanding regarding the use of airships which pass from one country to another. The cruise around the world of the American battleship fleet had so many valuable results that it is not out of order to have a repetition of the experience to a certain extent It Is announced from Washington that the Atlantic fleet will visit the Medlterranean sea next fall. The vessels will go in division formation, to give the commanders, officers and^ men the advantage of maneuvering fn that shape. Among the ships will be some which made the world tour, and Europe will have another opportunity to see what a first-class American naval force looks like. The excellent Impression made by the battleships ig likely to be deepened. The state of Michigan will present the magnificent bronze statue of General G. A. Custer to the city of Monroe on June 4 next with Impressive and befitting ceremonies. The city of Monroe, one of the most attractive cities in the middle west, is making Buitable arrangements to do its part In this matter, and will be prepared to welcome the immense throng of people who are expected tu visit the city on that day. President Taft will be present and deliver an address, arriving in Monroe at 8:15 a. m. The details of the program and of the military pageant have been completed by the commission appointed by the state legislature, which will be carried out in the following order: Hon. Otto Kirehner, of Detroit, president of the day. Invocation, Rt. Rev. Bishop Foley, of Detroit. History and description of the Custer monument, Col. Geo. L. Briggs, of Grand Rapids, president of the Custer Memorial association. Unveiling of statue by Mrs. General Custer. Music by military band. Salute of seventeen guns by the First Battery ol' Field Artillery, M. N. G. Address by President Taft. Oration, Wm. Aid en Smith, II. S. S. Address on behalf of Custer Cavalry Brigade by Gen. D. McM. Gregg, of Reading, Pa. Address, Gen. E. W. Whittaker, former chief of Custer's staff, of Washington, D. (j. Memorial poem, read by the author, Will Carlton, Michigan. Presentation of the statue to the city of Monroe, by Governor Warner. Acceptance and response, Mayor Jacob Martin, of Monroe. "America," Monroe Cornet band. Placing of laurel wreath at the base of statue, Col. W. O. Lee, of Port Huron, accompanied by a grand chorus by 100 ladies, "The Old Brigade," with full band and orchestra. Benediction, Rt. Rev. Charles D. Williams, bishop of Michigan. The military parade will take place before the ceremonies at the monument, forming at 9 a. m. sharp, and will be an imposing pageant. The survivors of the old Michigan Custer Cavalry Brigade, which number some 250 men, accompanied by a fine military band, will have the post of honor In the parade. Four or five companies of Michigan National Guard, with band; First Battery of Artillery, Troop B, M. N. G., who will act as bodyguard to the president; four companies of the Twenty-Bixth Regiment of IT. S. Infantry, with their superb band of forty pieces; visiting military organizations, including those from Michigan and Ohio, will be assigned positions; the M. A. C. Military Cadets, of Lansing, with their fine band of thirty-six pieces. The G. A. R. posts of Michigan have announced that they would send large delegations. This being strictly a military demonstration, no civic bodies will take part In the parade. From all that can be learned at this time, this event vti\\ overshadow in its significance and brTTttant features any former one In Michigan. Custer's brilliant war record, while the youngest general In the service, coupled with the tragic end of his exploits in the western Indian wars, should and will be potent, reasons for an immense assemblage of people. The stirring strains of Custer's favorite and famous charging tune, "Garry Owen," will again be heard to delight the veterans who once fought to Its inspiring notes. The early hour of the parade, starting at 9 a. m. and concluding at 10 a. m., necessitates prompt movements of all troops. The parade will be under the direction of General McGurrin, commanding officer of the Michigan militia. j As Close Friend Knew, That Frame of j Mind Was Not Apt to Bo a Lasting One. Ben. T. Rice and Hymen Levy, both now dead, were two of the real old Virginia characters in a small Piedmont county seat town; Ben was the keeper of the town Inn and Hymen, a genuine Jew, ran a store. Ben was noted for profanity, drinking and gambling and telling unheard-of yarns. Hymen was a dally visitor at the inn to get his dram, and at times became thoroughly shocked at Ben's outrageous language and manners. Ben, one- evening, joined the town boys in an exciting game of football on Main street, became overheated, and, cooling off too quickly, went into pneumonia at night. Several physicians attended him, who tsoun pronounced his case hopeless. A dozen or more of Ben's friends, among them Hymen, were standing around the bed Just before Ben's spirit took its flight from earth, when Ben utt3red a long groan and said: "Oh, L-o-r-d, have mercy on me." At this moment Hymen turned his head slowly and remarked: "The good Lord ought to take Ben right now, for he never will be so good no more." •WF The catch of 4B,uuu seals by the steamer Florizel, reported from S t Johns, N. F., need cause nor worry as to the future of seal life. The seals taken in the North Atlantic ocean are not the fur seal, but an amphibious animal that is plentiful in comparison, and in little danger of extermination, notwithstanding heavy annual onslaughts. Investigate Tax Assessments. Since the attorney-general gave out the opinion that the state tax commission has power to review and equalize tax assessments anywhere In the state on complaint of Interested parties, the commission has been besieged by requests for this service from all over the state. An investigation will be begun In Jackson soon, and will be followed by visits to Flint, Grand Rapids and to Bay county and other sections. It is claimed that in Jackson residence property Is assensed at only 30 per cent of the real value. "The department has but 10 men available for this work, and the work must be done between June and October," said Secretary Carton. "Enough applications have been filed to keep these 10 men busy." The complaints, It is stated, are filed by private persons, and none has been received from any railroads. It has long been the allegation of the rallroada that private property owners and holders of personalty are assessed away under tho true cash value figure. AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING "Just about two years ago, some form of humor appeared on my scalp. The beginning was a slight ltchingbut It grew steadily worse until, when I combed my hair, the scalp became raw and the ends of the comb-teeth would be wet with blood. Most of the time there was an intolerable itching, In a painful, burning way, very much as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch and smart when first beginning to heal. Combing my hair was positive torture. My hair was long and* tangled terribly because of the blood and scabs. This continued growing worse and over half my hair fell out I was in despair, really afraid of becoming totally bald. "Sometimes the pain was so great that, when partially awake, I would scratch the worst places so that my finger-tips would be bloody. I could not sleep well and, after being asleep a short time, that awful stinging pain —would commence and then I would wake up nearly wild with the torture. A neighbor said it must be salt rheum. Having used Cuticura Soap merely as a toilet soap before, I now decided to order a set of the Cuticura Remedies —Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills. I used them according to directions for perhaps six weeks, then left off, as the disease seemed to be eradicated, but toward spring, eighteen months ago, there was a slight return of the scalp humor. I commenced the Cuticura treatment at once, so had very little trouble. On my scalp I used about one half a cake of Cuticura Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment in all. The first time I took six or seven bottles of Cuticura Pills and the last time three bottles—neither an expensive or tedious treatment Since then I have had no scalp trouble of any kind. Standing up, with my hair unbound, it comes to my knees and had it not been for Cuticura I should doubtless be wholly bald. "This Is a voluntary, unsolicited testimonial and I take pleasure in writing it, hoping my experience may help someone else. Miss Lillian Brown, R, F. D. 1, Liberty. Me., Oct. 29, 1909." Bishop Eats His Own Boots. Few bishops have to lead such a strenuous life as Bishop Stringer. In company with a missionary companion he made a tour recently to Herschel island, in the Arctic ocean, and back to Dawson City, where the bishop resides. Their small supply of food becoming exhausted, they were obliged to eat their muckalucks and moccasins. These, made of raw sealskins, were soaked until they became glutinous, and were then toasted In strips over the fire. The bishop says the food was real good, especially the muckalucks.

President Taft will be the reviewing officer of the Memorial day parade on Riverside drive in New York. The exercises* which will be tiAder the auspices of t h e Grand Army of the Republic, will be unusually elaborate this year. The Foley bill, increasing the penalty tor violation of the anti-trust laws from 15,000 to $50,000, and extending the period of operation of the statute of limitation from two to five yearSj was adopted by the New York assembly. The court of claims rendered a decision holding that a certain line of tax collections on legacies made a s a result of legislation enacted to carry on the SpaniBh-American war should be refunded. The decision means the return to the taxpayers of about 15,000,000. Satisfactory progress in the arrangements being made for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg in July, 1913, waa reported by the Pennsylvania commission. Letters have been received from the governors of nearly all the states promising their co-operation. . The cooperation of President Taft and of the national government is already assured. After a 30 months' cruise in Philippine waters with a party of scientists who discovered, it is reported, many hew deep sea specimens, the fish and game commission's expedition returned to San Francisco on the Bteamer Albatross. The Albatross went as far south as the Celebes islands and visited many harbors and inlets in the archipelago lying between Luzon and Borneo. A new imitation butter, with a name that sounds like a patent medicine, has appeared on the New York market. It is not made from animal fat, but instead comes from cocoanut oil. To escape any conflict with the pure food law it is not colored, but is allowed to remain- about the tint of lard so that it cannot be palmed off as genuine butter for table use, but It can be used in cooking without the average person being any wiser. The second trial of the. government's suit againBt Charles F. W. Neely, who tor some time during the first American occupation of Cuba, was in charge of the bureau of finance of the department of posts at Havana, began before Judge Hand, in the United States circuit court, New York, to recover $45,375 of the $140,000 proceeds of stamp sales which Neely was originally accused of having converted to his own use.

The 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 aa a conseouence was hiding. At his hotel bla attention was attracted by an EngMahmsa and a young woman- Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunken officer. He was thanked by her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy penfronted Stephens, toW 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. Stephens accepted the commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which he was assigned. He gave them final Instructions. They boarded the vessel. They successfully captured the vessel supposed to be the Esmeralda, through strategy. Capt Stephens gave directions for the de- fiarture of the craft. He entered the cabn and discovered the EngllBh woman and her maid. Stephens quickly learned the wrong vessel had been captured. It was Lord Darlington's private yacht, the lord's wife and maid being aboard. H> 'explained the situation tn her ladyship. Then First Mate Tuttle laid bare tfc* plot, sayift* that the Sea Queen had been taken, i n order to go to the Antarctic circle, • Tuttle ;**plalr*yi that on a farmer voyage he had learned that the Donna Iafcbel was lost in 1753. He had f*ntid it frote'n in a huge case of ice on an island and contained much gold. Stephens consented to be the captain of the expedition. He told Lady Darlington. She was greatly alarmed, but expressed confidence in him. The Sea Queen encountered a vessel In the fog. Stephens attempted to communicate. This caused a fierce struggle and he was overcome. Tuttle finally squaring the situation. Then the Sea Queen headed south again. Under Tuttle's guidance the vessel made progress toward Its goal. De Nova, the mate, told Stephens that he believed Tuttle, now acting as skipper, Insane because of his queer actions. Stephens was awakened by crashing of glass. He saw Tuttle in the «rip of a spasm of religious mania and overcame him. The sailor upon regaining his senses was taken 111. Tuttle committed suicide by shooting. Upon vote of the crew Stephens assumed the leadership and the meft, decided to continue the treasure hunjt; the islands being1 supposed to he only 200 miles distant. Tuttle was buried in the seu, Lady Darlington pronouncing the service. Stephens awaking from sleep saw the ghost, supposed to have formed the basis for Tuttle's religious mania. Upon advice of Ladv Darlington, Stephens started to probe the ghost. He came upon Lieut. Sanchez, the drunken officer he had humbled in Chile. He found that at Snnchez' inspiration. Engineer McKnlght played "ghost" to scare the men Into giving up the quest. Stephens announced that the Sea Queen was at the spot where Tuttle's quest was supposed to he. The crew was anxious to go on In further search. De Nova and Stephens conquered them in a fiwt fight. Lady Darlington, thanked him. The Sea Queen started northward. She was wrecked In a fog. Stephens. De Nova, Lady Darlington and her maid being among those to set out in a life boat. CHAPTER X X I . In Which LoVe Speaks. No one uttered a sound after that first wild cry. We sat. there stunned Into feilence hy the horror of the situation, every eye staring blindly into the mlat, the long-boat, tossing like a chip on the swell caused by the engulfing of the yacht. The crippled Sea Queen had evidently gone down like a shot. Twice I endeavored to speak, but something choked me, and my voice failed. I reached down Into my pocket, held close to my eyes the small compass I always carried, arid swung the boat's head northward. Even this slight effort at action gave me back some measure of self-control. "You had better step the mast, Mr. Dfr-Nova, and get out what canvas you can spread. There is not much wind, but we'll make the best of what little there is." They went at the task as though glad to have work given them, but I could see nothing but the dim outlines of their forms. * bent down toward Lady Darlingtoft; she glanced around and directly into my eyes. "Are you warm enough?" ,"Ofc,t yes; but—but I hardly know how I am. This has come so suddenly. I—I am not frightened, but dazed, hdtfrlned. Were all the others on board drowned?" ^'They must have been. I will questrfh the men in a moment. Only I beg of^ou do not permit your courage to give way." -She rested her hand upon my knee. MYon need not fear for me," she said firmly. "I win,not. fail you." The mainsail bellied out, catching whatever breeze there was, the boom swinging trt* and the long-boat leaning well over, aa It leaped forward into the tog. The iwlft motion brought sew heart to all of ua. "Pas* back the provisions, lads, and we'll stow them away here In the stern-lockers." This task required only a few momenta, and 'when it was completed I was able to discern the mate, seated neat to celeste. : "Now tell me just what occurred, Mr. De Nova;' I said. "What was it we bumped into,—an Iceberg?" "JZat was* it, monsieur. You saw how ze fog lay. By gar, I not see ze fo'- c'stle from se bridge for more as four hour. We run at half-speed w'en you went below. Sacre, w'at else was dare? I know you much tired, an* so I stand ze vatcb for six hour. By gar, my eyes burn tryin' to see somesing. Zen I send down for you to be call. Pretty soon I leave Larsen on ze bridge, an' start aft to see w'y you not come more quick. I get most to ze companion, when bang! we hit ze iceberg! Zat all I know for ze nez' minute, only zare be hell for'ard, an' ze ship up on end." "Is that all you can tell? Is there any one else here able to explain?" "Well sir," said a deep rumbling voice forward, "I was just aft o* the main-hatch when the jfumpus happened, a-hangin' on to a life-line. I couldn't see much, but I figure it out like this. We hit a big berg bows on; a lot o' ice caved off on us, an' smashed in the for'ard deck like it was paper, crushin' down everything as fur aft as the engine-room. Both boilers blew up, an* then nothln' held the stern in the air but the after bulkhead. When that finally gave way the ol' hooker dropped to Davy Jones. There wasn't a man ahead o' the main- "Please Tell Me. I—I Wish to Know the Very Worst." hatch that had a chance even to run for it." I caught my breath, feeling a shiver shake me. "I am unable to make out who are on board," I said at last. "Name yourselves, beginning at the bow." "Jem Cole, sir." It was the voice of the negro. "Next. Speak up, men!" "Johnson." "Kelly." "McKnight." "Dade." "Sanchez." There was a pause, the last voice sounding Just abaft the mast-butt. "Is that all?" "That's all, sir." "With De Nova, myself, and the two women it makes the count ten. Well, we sha'n't he crowde67~fbr room. This is going to be a hard cruise, lads, but we'll make a stiff fight for it. We're sailors, witk a stanch boat under us, and a chance to win out." There was a faint cheer, rumbling, as if it had caught in their throats, and the negro asked: "How much of a run is it, boss?" "I am unable to tell you, Cole," I answered, endeavoring to make my voice sound hopeful, "because I have not had any observation for three days. There is no use lying to you fellows. There is a mighty ~ long stretch between us and any land worth trying after. We are out of the track of ships, and our only hope is to keep the long-boat right side up, and get out of her all the speed possible. Two of you stand by to watch the running gear; the others had better lie down and get some--*ieep while the wind is light. Turn in with them, De Nova; you will have to relieve me at the tiller later." The breeze perceptibly freshened, but not sufficiently to require any reefing of canvas, and the fog began drifting away like a great white cloud, leaving revealed the vista of cold gray sea stretching about us. Lord, but it dfd look barren and desolate, that ceaselessly heaving expanse of Water, amid which we were but the merest speck, scarcely more.important than those floating cakes of ice, tossed by the waves through which we sought passage. At six o'clock we took careful stock of our supply of provisions, and served out a small ration all around, after* ward arranging the several watches for the night and distributing, aa equally as possible, the bhfnkets and extra clothing. The wind felt colder, the sea coming up a bit, and Dade and Kelly fixed up a piece of spare canvas at the stern to protect the steersman from the dash of icy spray. De Nova took the tiller, and seeing no signs of a bad night I lay down amidships, though not until I had compelled Lady Darlington to seek rest also. Whether she found it or not I can not say, but I was asleep instant ly, and knew nothing until Johnson called me at midnight. There was no great change in conditions as I stumbled sleepily aft to take the tiller. The boat was sailing free, but with a reef in the mainsail, owing to a marked stiffening of the wind. The intense loneliness of the scene cast an even stronger spell over me now,—those awful wastes of solitude above and below; the far-off steely glitter of Btars; the near-by white crested waves; the little, insignificant dot of a boat in which we tossed. I thought upon'those leagues upon leagues of barrenness stretching away to the north, east, west, south, thd vast fields of ice, the extent of storm-lashed seas, the seeming -hopelessness of our efforts at escape, and choked in my throat, my lips pressed tight, my eyes staring blindly out into the smother. Suddenly the blanket at my feet stirred, and Lady Darlington sat up, her back against the gunwale and face upturned to mine. The cold gleam of the moon revealed her features, clear cut as a cameo, framed by the darkness of her hood. I could distinguish the delicate tracery of her lashes, and, beneath that light, the gray of her eyes appeared black. "I have been studying your face, Mr. Stephens," she said quietly, "and have read there the helplessness of our situation." I rallied instantly, endeavoring to speak lightly. "You translate wrongly. That waB only the depression of the scene yonder; the awful loneliness of sea and sky affected my spirits. You should not draw hasty conclusions." "Nor have I. Even such a sea and sky never gave you that look of despair. I know you too well to believe that. You consider our situation desperate." I looked at her closely, but it was not fear I saw in the uplifted face. "It is certainly serious enough," I admitted, believing it useless to attempt any deceit, "but not hopeless. We have a stanch boat under us, sufficient food for all our probable needs, and a favorable wind. While there Is life there is hope." She made a little eloquent gesture of the hands. "Please do not say that. Those words are always the last effort to bolster up courage. Keep them for the men, but trust me with the exact truth." "Ask and I will answer." "What chance have we of rescue?" I turned my eyes away before venturing to reply, yet I dared not utter an untruth. "Two: the being picked up by some passing vessel, or the attaining of Inhabitable land." "Are there any vessels in this sea at this season?" "It is hardly probable there are, unless it should be some whaler blown from her course around the Horn." "Then our only practical hope lies in reaching land by our own efforts?" She leaned forward, her hand touching mine as it grasped the tiller, her earnest eyes compelling me to look at her. "Yes." "How—how far away is this land?"^ I hesitated, actually afraid myself" to speak the answer, but her handclasp merely tightened. "Please tell me. I—I wish to know the verv_ worst. Such knowledge will be easier to bear than this awful doubt." "BuJ. I 'har#f know myself," I confeased desperately. "I have h a d ' n o observation for several flays, and/cajf only guess the rate of progress of the Sea Queen, or our drift during the storm. I will be perfectly honest with you, though, and give you my best judgment. I believe we must be between four and Ave hundred miles to the east and north of Dougherty island, and not yet beyond the limit of drift ice. There would be no use in our attempting to turn back for that point of land, as it is nothing but a rock, and we could never find it by the mere guidance of a compass. Our only chance is to bear away to the northeast toward land and the track of ships." "How far? What land?" "The western coast of South America; at least 1.500 miles." I felt her shudder, and scarcely realizing that I did so, or the significance of the action, impelled by an impulse beyond all control, I drew her band within both my own as though in pledge of protection. "It can be done," 1 Insisted. "Such boat voyages have been accomplished." She made no effort to draw away, her eyes still upon mine. "Not through such a sea as this; not at this season of the year." I could not answer, my lips dry, my throat parched. "You know the utter hopelessness of it," she went on, stimulated by my silence. "You know we can never survive the cold, the closing in of the ice, the certainty of storm. You are a sailor, and a brave man—trust me with the whole truth." "It would be almost a miracle," I faltered, the words fairly forced from my lips by her insistence. "This is the beginning of winter in the stormiest ocean on the globe. God could do it, but not man." Her head sank, the white cheek touching my sleeve, but the fearless gray eyes were still open, gazing straight into mine. "Then it is the certainty of death," she said soberly. "Death together." My heart leaped as though it had received an electric shock. "Together! you mean—" "That I should rather be here, facing death with you, than anywhere else alone," she exclaimed swiftly. "Oh, I can say it frankly now; say it here before-, you and God; say it in ay purity and honor. Perhaps to-night, perhaps to-morrow, somewhere amid this awful waste of waters we will go together into eternity. What are the dictates of men to us now? What meaning is there any longer to the hideous requirements of the world? We are beyond them all. Here, now, we can be ourselves, ourselves. Tonight we are free; to-night I can hear you speak what I have already read in your eyes, and am not afraid to hear it." "You—you love me?" "With all my heart and soul." With everything else blotted out, with all else forgotten, I sat speechless, gazing down through the mist of tears into her eyes. CHAPTER XXII. In Which I Understand My Lady. She rested motionless, her cheek barely touching my sleeve, her eyes filled with love, her hands in mine. Then I heard her voice, soft as a whimper, the breath of her lips on my cheek. "You will not misjudge me; surely you can not. Those words would never have been uttered in any other circumstances. Not. that I am afraid, not that I am ashamed or regretful; but nothing else could ever have set me free. Now we must know, understand each other—we must die with our hearts open, our souls clean. You really love me? trust me? believe me to be a worthy woman?" "With all my soul I do."

One of the longest delayed proposals on record is related in a French story of a shy young subaltern who was ordered away to the wars. Not. daring to speak, he sent a nosegay of yellow roses to the girl he loved, with a little note Inside begging her, If she returned his love, to wear one of the flowers in her breast that night at the ball. She appeared without it, and he went away broken-hearted. Years afterward, when he was a lame old general, he again met his old love, now a white-haired widow. One day his old sweethesrt gently asked him why he had never married; "Madam," he answered somewhat sternly, "you ought to know best. If you had not refused to answer that note in the bouquet of yellow roses I might have been a happier man." "The note in the bouquet?" she repeated, growing pale. She opened an old cabinet and took out from a drawer a shriveled bouquet of what had been yellow roses, among whose leafless stalks lurked a scrap of paper yellow with age. "See! I never had your note," she said, holding the bouquet up. "If I had I would not have answered it as you fancied." "Then answer it now," said the gallant old soldier.

One of the most interesting reports at the recent meeting of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis was that of the executive secretary, Dr. Livingston Farrand, showing the growth of the anti-tuberculosis movement since May 1, 1909. The number of associations for the prevention of consumption has increased from 290 to over 425; the number of sanatoria and hospitals for the treatment of tuberculosis is from 29» to 400; and the special tuberculosis dispensaries from 222 to 265. During the year 1909, thirty-six out of fortythree legislatures In session considered the subject of tuberculosis, and in 28, bills were passed for the prevention or treatment of this disease. Since the opening of the legislative season of 1910, out of ten legislatures In session up to May 1, all have considered the subject of tuberculosis and every one of them has enacted some law that bears on this subject. Terrors of Frankness. "There is no worse vice than frankness," said Booth Tarkington, at a farewell dinner in New York precedent to his departure for Europe. "How should I feel, for example, if I asked you for your opinion of my plays, and you answered me frankly, quite frankly? "Why, I should feel like the poor lady at the bridge drive who said to her hostess' little daughter: " 'Your eyes are such a heavenly blue. And what color are my eyes, darling?' "The child's high treble traveled easily to the further corner of the quiet room as she replied, looking earnestly up into her questioner's face: " Dwab middles, yellow whites and wed wims!'"

The day of free ranges for sheep is about over, and ihe people of the United States begin to wonder why they should not havf an irond a chance to profit by the wools of Australia and Argentina as our protected manufacturers and the people of Europe. A uumber of gentlemen were speaking of the many cases of poisoulug that have occurred In which young wives bt-ve been accused of getting rid of old and rich husbands when ou.e of the party, an attorney, told the folio winy story: "1 once had such a case, and It showed me how difficult It 1B to arrive at the truth wbeu certain persoua aro Interested in hiding an Important part of the truth. This withholding of facts makes us see very plainly as true what is really false. A criminal case In law la like a picture puzzle—all the parts must be present and tit in their places to show the design. "Mrs. Hockaduy was the wife of old Hockaday. who made a big fortune on the Stock Exchange. She was twenty and tie sixty when he married her. Nevertheless they seemed to get on very well together, and the young wife appeared to be very foud of her old husband Hut oue day Mr. Hockaday died very suddenly of a disease his doctor could not make out. No suspicious were cast upon his wife at the time. But Mrs. Hockaday did not wait very long after her husband's demise to appear ut places of amusement, and her participation at balls •nd other such functions soon followed. "Had she beeu more circumspect is this regard probably the celebrated case of which she was the central 6gure would have never occurred. The police In order to satisfy a public clamor get up something they call a case, and there Is a preliminary exam-, lnation. So they did in the Hockaday affair. But nothing was proved, and the lady was not held for trial. "This is the beginning, where a few scattered parts of the picture puzzle are furnished, but the picture is not even conceived of. "Unfortunately this disposition of the case did not satisfy the talkers, who still insisted that Mrs. Hockaday had poisoned her husband. She made a statement to a reporter that she would not rest until she had proved herself Innocent. Then she stirred up the matter reflecting on Peter Hockaday. a nephew of her husband, who would have inherited his property had the uncle not married. This flred the nephew, who came out with a state ment that he believed the millionaire had been poisoned and demanded that the body be disinterred and tested by experts. "This was done, and a heavy dose of a poisonous substance was found in the dead man's stomach. "it was now plain to those who were amusing themselves solving the puzzle of the Hockaway case that it would turn out to be a representation of u young widow with one hand poisoning an old man and with the other grasping money bags. "Mrs. Hockaday was arrested and placed on trial. 1 was her counsel. The prosecution brought out an important fact that tended to prove her guilt, it was proved that she had paid from time to time considerable sums to an attorney of bad" repute for services connected with her husband's property. On the day of his death the millionaire went to this attorney's office, drank a glass of wine, went home and died in a few hours. "The picture puzzle changed. There was now a rich old man, a shyster lawyer pouring out a dose with one hand and receiving a bag of gold from his widow. "The shyster attorney testified that he received fees from Mrs. Hockaday for legitimate services connected with her prospective interest In her husband's estate, her object being to secure all the property herself and prevent any of it going to any one of her husband's relatives. The prosecutor endeavored by cross examination to make him reveal more exactly the nature of these services, but failed. "Seeing that it behooved me to exonerate this attorney, who had been receiving imtiiey from my client and was accused of poisoning her husband In return for hi> fees. I urged him to go back to the day Mr. Hockaday was supposed to have been poisoned and discover his whereabouts ar the hour the millionaire visited his otlioe. The result v, as the proving of an alibi. When Mr. Hockaday called on the attorney the latter was in the office of a man from whom he was endeavoring to extort some money under a sort of blackmail. "By this time the puzzle framers were ready to give up all but a young wife making way somehow or other with a rich old husband and a set Of rascals helping her. "There was a central piece to the picture, without which it was lnsolvable. One mi.:ht put nil the other pieces together, but nothing would eotne of it without this central block. But when It was inserted the puzzle stood out complete, the picture being plain as day. In the examination of the shyster lawyer it came out that the nepaev.. .',<!..:. urc.^snay, was intimate with hint. Ami finally I proved that the nephew had met his Ujocle in the shyster's office on ihe day of bis death and the two had djruuk a glass of wine together. "The nephew was the central piece in the puzzle, uud the picture was a rich uncle and a nephew, the latter putting poison into the old man's glass. "Young Hockaday next Intended to poison the widow and get the property, but she was afraid of him and kept o*t of his way."

FLINTOFT GeUeral Machinist, FMnckney, Michigan \i I CQUNTEBFEIT QUARTER By M. QUAD | Copyright. 1806. by Associated Literary Press. Deacon Wreon, pldower. hesitated • between two women, alias Brown, a spinster of forty, wop owned a bouae sod lot. and the widow Normao. about the same age as Miss Brown, who owned a farm. One daj tbe deacon got stuck on a counterfeit quarter. Tbe next time a tin peddler came along be offered It to tbe man in change. "Don't look right, deacon." "Ob, I guess It's all rigbt," was tbe reply. "Lots ot counterfeit around." "x*ou needn't be afraid of that" .it wasn't a square thing to do. l i t e deacon knew i t and tbe peddler knew It Tbe peddler pocketed tbe coin and went away, but be made up bis mind to get even. A.t tbe nest bouse be stopped at be was told that the deacon was banging off between the widow and the spinster, and he thought be saw bis way clear. Three, days later he returned and halted on the road opposite to where the farmer was hoeing corn. Tbe deacon came walking out to the fence to say: "Being you accepted that quarter you'll have to keep it." "Oh. it isn't about the quarter. I Just wnuted to tell you a bit of news. You know the old maid Browu in the village, don't you?" "Seems to me I've heard of her," replied the deacon In his cautious way. "Well, an uncle of hers in California has died and left her $15,000 cash. She's keeping it mighty quiet. She wants some one to marry her for love instead of money." Half an hour later the deacon was bitching up to drive to the village. Two hours later he was saying to the blushing old maid: "Sarah, I'm alone and lonely. I've concluded to take another wife. Will you have me?" Sarah could have said "Yes" In a second, but Sarah was no spring chicken. She also weighed and balanced things. She'd said "Yes" to two different men before, but with no witnesses present, and they had left her all forlorn. Therefore she replied: "Deacon, i respect and admire yon and believe you to lie a sincere man. Think of this matter on your way homo and then write me n letter." The deacon jogged home and took his pen In hand and wrote. He didn't wait for the mail, but sent his message to the village by his hired man. It was straight talk, and the written answer was "Yes." Four days had passed when tlie peddler appeared agait' Deacon Wrenn was out In the woodshed dyeing his whiskers. As for hair, lie was so uearly baldheadod that it wouldn't pay to fool with. He suspended operations to hear the peddler say : "Another bit of news for you. old man, and you mustn't give it away. You've heard of the Widder Norman, mebbe?" "Yes, kinder heard." "Got five children and never hoped To find a stepfather for 'era. but this is a world of change. It seems she had a brother in New England who hadn't been heard of in twenty years. Well. \te turned up his toes the other day and left her $30,000 in cold cash She's keeping still about it. There's a windmill man making eyes at her. hut she won't let on until she knows he loves her for herself and her five sore eyed young uns. Don't breathe n hint to put him on to the dough." The deacon promised and finished his dyeing. As he dyed he thought. He thought of the difference between $15,000 and $30,000, An early hour in the evening found him at the Widow l^orman'g. They talked crops and weather for awhile, and then, with her five fatherless children standing around with their mouths open, he stated that he had long and secretly admired the mother and desired to make her his wife. She wouldn't believe it at first, but his assurances finally prevailed, and she said yes. For an hour afterward the children took turns sitting on their to be step- , father's lap and pulling his dyed whisk- ; era, and they called him "poppy" as be departed. It has been said that Deacon Wrenn weighed and balanced things, and it may surprise the reader that, he should tangle himself up with two engagements. He haoVflgured it out that he eould square things with the old maid <or, $1,000 or for double that at t h e H o s t This would leave him $28,000 ttoar, and that was a good enough Itargaln for any man. In a week he Married the widow, and on the same ^ay he called and offered Miss Brown tf thousand big dollars. She drove him from tbe house in indignation. Then he learned that his wife had no brother to die and leave her even 15 cents and that no windmill man had ever waited ber. He had Just charged her with conspiracy to defraud an innoeaat hearted man when he wna aarv. «tf w i t h . * *B rumens In a breach of p r o i l M suit and whan tbe ease was finally called a n * tried It cost him bis farm to make good the verdict And then one day the peddler met him in the road and baited to say: "8'more news, but don't give It away. If yon cap get a divorce from your wife 1 can locate a widder who invested in Texas oil stock when it was oaly 5 cents on tbe dollar and has held on to It until It's now selling at"— "D your widder and you, tooF replied tbe deacon as be passed on. He didn't even stop to pick up the counterfeit quarter thrown after him. Humor and Morality. We have extirpated grosa humor from our modern literature, but we must not suppose that we are therefore more moral than the Elizabethans, whose literature was tull of gross humor. It may be that we are only more afraid of ourselves and each other. This kind of fear is destructive not only of gross humor, but of humor of all kinds. In Its essence humor is brave as it is honest but with cowardice and dishonesty there come base substitutes for It, substitutes that make fun of noble things with a humorous air, and so bring humor itself into discredit.-- London Times. rW HAT HE WAS FITTED FOR Br NATHAN HARDY Usssa Copyright, WO, by American Press Association.

FOR KIDNEY, LIVER AND STOMACH TROUBLE It is the best medicine ever sold over a druggist's counter. Donald Hatch w u to receive a small fortune on attaining bis majority. Young people are Impatient, and Donald wac no exception to the role. Bis palms Itched for bis inheritance that be might spend it at once. He went to the president of the —tb National bank, told him that he desired to flaisb his education and should be obliged If be would advauce him some money. Tbe president declined to do so OD behalf of tbe bank, but told him be would let him have the amount be desired on his own account. Donald signed a note, received the money and proceeded to "blow it In." A few weeks after be had made tbe first loan he went to tbe president for more, telling him that he had finished one course of study and wis bed to take another. The president, too busy to look into the matter, furnished more money, and Donald sent it after what he had received before. ID this way he got away with considerable means and six months before attaining bis majority concluded to make as large a raise as possible and go abroad. When Donald sailed for Europe with $5,000 in his pui-ket he had borrowed about twii <- iu* amount of bis inheritance, liis object was to have as good a time as possible, tbeo return and go to work like other men. There was a certain vein of philosophy in him which led him to take this course. He argued that the time to enjoy money is when one is young. Any delay would result in a diminution of the power of enjoyment. The philosopher did not have long to wait for a test as to the soundness of his reasoning, in Switzerland he met a young lady who was traveling with her mother. The girl's name was Fredrica Smith. She took to Donaid at once, and Donald returned ber preference. There was another consideration. Mrs. Smith and her daughter appeared to be rich. Since his good time period would have bloomed and decayed on his return to America it might be well for blm to marry Fredrica. The young lady was will ing, and their troth was plighted. Mrs. Smith was not a business woman, so she consented to a provisional engagement until thoir return, when Mr. Hatch would be expected to pre sent his credentials to ber husband. Donald winced at this, but hoped for the best. He had nothing to lose and all to gain. There would be no need for him to make it known that he bad spent the money which would have enabled him to support a wife. He could assume a bold front and say, "I have only my strong arm to enable me to take care of your daughter, but by industry, honesty and perseverance I hope to keep the wolf from the door." If this did not make an impression sufficiently favorable to enable him to get the girl, well, philosophically considered, his condition would be no worse than it was before he met Miss Smith. But unfortunately love and philosophy will no more mix than oil and water. Despite his reasoning the young man felt uneasy. The Smiths traveled in first class style, and Mr. Hatch, though ho was coming to the end of his funds, was obliged while with thom to spend a proportionate amount. He remained with them as long as they remained abroad and when they returned came over in the same ship with them. He had come of ripe while abroad and found his inheritance ready to be paid him. or. mther. his creditors, on his arrival. He issued a circular letter to them stating that a proportionate sum amounting to 50 per cent of their claims would be paid them, the rest to remain till he had made i t It bad been arranged that he should call upon Mr. Smith at his house five days after his arrival to ask for the hand of his daughter and present his credentials. He wrote out a speech full of vim and modesty, which he thought would sound well, and committed It to memory. On the appointed evening he made his call He was met at the door by Miss Smith with an encouraging pressure of the hand and left by her at the door of the library, where her father was waiting. When the two men stood face to face for a few moments there was tbe silence of the tomb Mr. Smith saw In Mr. Hatch the young man from whom that morning he had received a note offering to pay htm r>0 cents on the dollar of the amounts he bad advanced. Mr. Hatch saw his principal creditor. The two stood regarding each other Intently. "Fool!" exclaimed Mr. Smith. "Wbieh-you or I?" asked Donald Imperturbably. Mr. Smith continued to stare at him with an expression into which something of ndmimtion was entering. "I'll tell you what you do," said the president, with n sudden resolution. 'Come round to the bank tomorrow, and I'll let yon have another thousand" "What for?" asked tbe »ultor. astonished. , "Wall street Go down Into that region where there have kteen so many shining lights, and lu time you win outshine them all.

Edward VTI., king of the United Kingdom ot Great Britain and Irelaud, and of all the British Dominions beyond the Seas, emperor of India, as his full royal title reads, was born in Buckingham palace, London, on November 9, 1841, and was the second child and first son of Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort Albert He was christened Albert Edward, and at hia very birth was given an imposing list of titles. He was at once created prince ot Wales and by virtue of that dignity he became also knight of the garter. As heir apparent to the British throne he succeeded to the title of duke of Cornwall and Its emoluments, and as heir to the crown of Scotland he became great steward of Scotland, duke of Rothesay, earl of Carrick. baron of Renfrew and lord of the Isles. On September 10, 1S49, he was created earl of Dublin, this title being conferred on him and his heirs in perpetuity. Among the other titles and commands held by Edward were duke of Saxony, colonel of the Tenth hussars, colonel-in-cbief of the Rifle brigade, field marshal of the British army and field marshal of the German army. 1 1 , 1 ^ . ^ . ••*" her a popularity In Oreat Britain that has continued unionised throughout her life aa princess and qoeea. • M 1875-7« the prince made an extended tour through the India* empire * a d was received everywharerf^lth iitiah and magnificent hoapltaUtji. r^ •'" ': On the death ot Quaes) Victoria, January 82.1901. Edward succeeded t* the throne. The coronation wag tot tor June 26, 1902. and all preparationi for the magnificent event had been completed when disquieting rtsaon of the king's ill health, which bad been current tor several .days, wore confirmed by the postponement of the ceremony. It waa announced that the king was suffering from perityphlitis, and on June 24 he underwent an op* eration. After some weeks .ot the greatest anxiety he recovered, and the coronation took place August 9. During the long years of his princehood Edward's public duties consisted solely in the office of representing the royal family at all manner of public events, and he performed these duties well. But the deadly monotony of such a life was too much for the vigorous man, and he found relaxation in amusements that frequently gave rise to scandals and that gave the world a wrong impression of his real character. He was especially fond of the theater and among his boon companions for years were actresses and actors. Also he developed a great liking for Paris and often visited that gay capital incognito. But all this, as has been said, was only his relaxation, and after coming to the throne his conduct always was BO circumspect that not the most captious critic could find any fault with it. As a diplomat Edward was unexcelled among the monarchs of Europe. His influence was always thrown to the side of international peace where compatible with national honor, and his advice and example had a steadying effect on all Europe. He looked with amused tolerance on the vagaries and extravagances of his nephew, the emperor of Germany, but occasionally that ruler exasperated him PMTTY NEAR IT. THE LATE KING EDWARD VII. The prince received a moat elaborate, broad and carefully planned education. At first he was under the charge of four private tutors, and subsequently his education was directed Kingsley. In order to give him a taste of college life, he was sent for by Baron Stockmar and Charles one session to the University of Edinburgh, for one year to Oxford and for four terms to Cambridge. During these years he acquirers wide general knowledge of the arts and sciences and beeame quite proficient in modern languages. In 1860 the prince made a tour of the United States and Canada and the next year he joined the British army at Curragh camp, Ireland! In 1862 he set out on his travels again, this time visiting Jerusalem and other places of biblical interest. His companion on the trip was Dean Stanley of Westminster. Edward's public life began in February, 1863, when, aa heir to the throne, he took bis seat in the house •fiords. On March 10 of the same year he married 'Princess Alexandra Caroline Mary Charlotte Louise Julia, the eldest daughter of King Christian IX. of Denmark- Her beauty, grace and charming* manners at once' gave to such an extent that he could not refrain from giving him some stern advice. Such admonition was not received by William in a submissive spirit, and once in a while there were sensational rumors" that the peaceful relations between the two countries were about to be ruptured. The development of the king's character in his later years was especially gratifying to th© nation. In addition to the love of his people, which he had always had. he gained their admiration and respect. They had the utmost confidence in his good Judgment, as was amply exemplified during the late crisis over the budget, and they were always sure he would do the right thing at the right time, To Edward and Alexandra were born six children. The first, Prince Albert, duke of Clarence, died in 1892, aged twenty-eight years. The second, George Frederick Ernest Albert, born on June 3, 1865, succeeds to the throne. The other children are: Princess Louisa Victoria, married to the duke of Fife; Princess Victoria Alexandra; Princess Maude Charlotte, married to Prince Charles of Denmark, and Prince Alexander John, who died the day after hl« birth is 1871.

"•'rnith has made an enviable record in congress. He has earned his salary. It is conceded -that.since he commenced the fight for the reduction of railway mail pay, there has been a redaction of eight and one-half millions of dollars annually, and this ought to go some way toward paying the salary that he receives from the government. Through his activity for the interest and welfare of the old soldiers and their widows and orphans, Smith has fil his promise when he says: "I have no hesitancy in saying that I shall yet he able to secure in this country a message of twenty-five words for 25c everywhere in this ct.untry and I say this notwithstanding the fact that we may not t>e able to secure the postat telegaaph in the near future." In addition to the above work, * the congressman is also engaged in trying to been re a reduction in express ratea in the United State*. His activity in these things will array against him tbe railroads, telegraph and exprew companies who are likely lo make an effort to defeat him.

On his work and interest for rural mail delivery, the farmers throughout the district need no enlightenment, and.we need bnt call attention to the complete manner in which the entire district is covered by a veritable net work of rural mail delivery routes to prove what tbe congressman has accomplished along this line. The farmers are little likely to forget this when tbey go to tbe polls in November to cast their ballots. they will not be fooled by any blind, bnt in recognition of what their congressman has accomplished and is doing, will rally to bis suppoit next fall in so overwbjlming a number that corporate interests who seek bis downfall will learn in no uncertain manner that the people will uphold a representative wbo works for the interests ot his constituents and the people at large.

The establishment of a grist mill was a very Important matter to the early settlers of America. It waa of little use to grow grain unless It could be ground and made suitable for food, and a settlement without a grist mill was at a serious disadvantage, the more especially because the roads, where any existed, were sot of the best. Not many of the oldest of the grist mills remain. Here In New England, as elsewhere, they were placed in the beginning upon small streams whleh could be dammed without resort to the engineering methods of today, says Manchester Union. As a consequence most of them were abandoned as population increased and the resources of the communities made It possible to erect mills on larger and more reliable Btreams, Then, too, In these later years the old-fashioned country grist mill has disappeared almost altogether. Last Saturday one of the historic landmarks of New Jersey, the old grist mill at Mount Holly, was destroyed by fire. It dated from 1728 and, its loss is, of course, Irreparable. It appears, however, that New England could claim precedence of New Jersey, even before the Mount Holly grist mill was burned.

THE TELEPHONE COMPANIES ARE FIGHTING THEIR TAX PAYMENTS, Note and Comment On Various Topics From All Parts of the State A Chicago chemist is said to have discovered a preparation made from skimmed milk which has a wide variety of uses. It will preserve foods. It will mummify dead bodies. Railroad ties treated with It become imperishJ able. Applied to patent leather shoes. It "prevents the patent expiring," not a crack ever appearing on the smooth surface. The most porous brown paper becomes water tight under its action. It supplies an Indelible writing fluid Impervious to acids. Evaporated and compressed, it becomes an artificial ivory. As a glue, It Is without an equal. The inventor, It is understood, disclaims that his preparation will grow hair on a bald head. It is to be considered, however, that he makes the preparation from skimmed milk. Suppose he should try what could be done with rich Jersey cream! An agent of a brewery who has his office in a dry county cannot solicit orders for beer, send the money, order and name of the party placing the order to the brewery, and then receive the beer himself and make the delivery to the purchaser. Such is the law, according to an opinion given by Attorney General Bird, who also says that should the liquor be shipped in separate packages directed to each individual purchaser, and placed in one large package directed to the agent, and the agent should deliver the liquor to the various persons to whom it was consigned, the agent in so doing would violate the local option law and be subject to arrest. In his opinion Attorney General Bird holds that In both instances the agent undertakes on payment of the price charged to deliver to the customer a certain quantity of liquor, and that in such instance the agent has control of the liquor until the time delivery is made. The attorney general, however, holds that it is not a violation of the law when the drayage charge on liquor shipped in for a dry county Is paid by the purchaser to whom it is consigned, and the liquor is taken from the express office or railroad station by order of the purchaser. These opinions were given on request of the prosecuting attorney of Lenawee county. The long hat pin ordinance is not directed against a style of dress, but against a public nuisance. It has been shown that painful wounds and even IOBB of sight have resulted from the maintenance of this nuisance. The style might be harmless If each of its devotees could be consigned to a tenacre lot and duly surrounded by a barbed-wire fence, but when they throng the streets and street cars of a great city It is dangerous, says Chicago Record-Herald. It is to be hoped that women will have the good sense to realize that the ordinance, with Its $50 fine, Is not a piece of freak legislation; that there were excellent reasons why an effort Bhould have been made to abolish the nuisance, and that it is their duty to put the long hat pin out of business. When Lord Campbell published his "Lives of the Lord Chancellors" it was wittily exclaimed that he had "added a new terror to death." The chantecler hat, It seems, has added a new terror to life. At Newton, Mass., the other day two young people had a narrow escape from drowning on account of the capsislng of their canoe. The telegraphed account says: "The upset was caused by a gust of wind striking the new chantecler hat ,which adorned Miss Larkin's head. The wide rim. acted like a sail." It was the wide rim of the hat that did it—not the ornamental bird. Miss Larkin'B peril would ave been equally great ii Instead of a rooster she had worn a duck. Fighting Tax Levy. * Auditor General Fuller says that the proceedings started by seven telephone companies to prevent collection of their taxes, is Important to the school districts of the state, as the suits will undoubtedly prevent the usual fall apportionment of primary school money. It had been expected that about $1 per capita would be available for distribution next November. Out of $391,662.61 in uncollected ad valorem taxes $303,005.06 is at stake in these suits. The auditor general was served Friday night with the motion for a restraining order which has bpon filed in the United States district court. The question whether an Injunction will be issued to stop collection will be taken up on May 19. If the Injunction is issued the consequent legal proceedings are expected to tie up the tax for an interminable length of time. Referring to the same matter Governor Warner Rays: "Just to show how unreasonable some of them are, the parent companv, the American, was getting off with a payment of $120 a year. We got after them and they admitted they have $375,000 in the state and should have been paying $6,000 a year for many years. We think they have $450,000 in the state and assessed them accordingly, making a difference of about $1,500 in the tax. There is a suit on for the $1,500 when admittedly they are a good many times that amount ahead of the state in the levy of past years, and when the assessment for this year Is only just."

To take a drive with John D. Rockefeller has become a regular recreation this spring for a great many of the friends and neighbors of that famous resident of Tarrytown, N. Y., and he has increased thereby his popularity among the people of the little city. Not a pleasant day goes by without the oil king inviting some of them, men, women and children, to ride with him in automobile or carriage, and It Is safe to say that the invitations are seldom declined, for his vehicles are the best to be had, and the drives around Tarrytown are beautiful. Mr. Rockefeller, before starting for a ride, always dons a paper vest, declaring it to be a great protection against colds, and he insists that his guests do the same. After the ride he refuses to take back the garment, and consequently in nearly every home in Tarrytown may be found a paper vest preserved as a souvenir of a delightful ride with the multimillionaire. Tablets For Late War Veterans. At a meeting of the state board of auditors it was voted to purchase nine bronze tablets, containing the list of enrollment of each regiment, the number killed In action and the number dying of woundB and disease In the Civil and Spanish wars.

A thousand naval enthusiasts dined in Brooklyn under the auspices of the employes of the Brooklyn navy yard, in celebration of the successful launching of the Dreadnought Florida. Vice-President Sherman spoke on ,fOur Navy," and Gov. Gilchrist, of Florida, eulogized his state and the sea fighter that bears her name. Said Mr. Gilchrist: "On all occasions, even when our navy was so small as to be insignificant in its armament and the number of its ships; the navy has ever upheld the honor and the glory of our flag. Such results could not have been accomplished but for the men like ourselves who built our vessels strong and true and but for the officers and but for the men behind .the guns." The biggest ship in_the American navy slid off the ways when the Florida dropped into the water. Later on when the Arkansas and the Wyoming, now under construction, are afloat, they will exceed the Floria in size by 3,000 tons, a difference sufficient to make a pretty good little liner in itself. The Florida herself is only about CO per cent advanced towards completion; not much more than a vast empty hull. She still awaits all the thousand boilers and main and secondary engines and armor and equipment which go to make up the Bhip ready for commission. Probably there is not a battleship afloat that could tackle the Florida on even terms. She is the first of any real Importance to be constructed in a government navy yard for a number, of years. It will take more than a thousand men to manage this great fighting machine; the minimum requirement is 60 officers and 954 enlisted men. The estimated cost of the ship complete Is $6,000,000, as fixed In the act of May 13, 1908. Her keel was laid March 9, 1909. lira. CataarAie i5alHy*n^l7ll &of. fatt S t .

Rescue parties saved four men, but fire has started in the workings, leaving practically no hope for those who are entombed. A curious fact is that a colliery warning waa published in many ot the newspapers in the mining districts of the kingdom the previous day, to the effeot that unusually high barometric conditions rendered Are damp explosions extremely probable, and that all underground workers ought therefore to be on the alert. The barometer reached its highest reading in the Whitehaven district. King George sent a message of sympathy to the owners of the colliery. Benefit in Outdoor Schools. Speaking before the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis recently, Dr. Henry Farnuro Stoll of Hartford, Conn., said: «"Every city should have one or more outdoor school." He recommended such Institutions for all delicate, socalled scrofulous or anaemic children, and those with tuberculosis of the bones, who are now in ordinary schools. Doctor Stoll declared that twenty or forty per cent, of school children In large cities are infected with tuberculosis. By the use of tuberculin, it was ascertained that 79 per cent, of the children from tuberculous homes were infected as against only 26 per cent, of those from supposedly healthy homes. It was also found that 50 per cent, of the frail children from healthy homes had the germs of the disease, but that only 13 per cent of the robust children from similar homes were thus affected. Indian War Ends. The threatened uprising of the Pueblo Indians at Taos appears to be at an end. Governor Mills says that the national guard, sent to Taos, has been ordered to return.

United States Attorney Francis C. Wilson telegraphs from TaoB that the renegade Indians have volunteered to surrender on the bench warrants that they had been resisting. He added that reports of the trouble had been greatly exaggerated. Early advices from Taos were that all was quiet with the exception that the Indians were still resisting arrest and were protected by their associates.

The 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 a s a consequence was tilding. At his hotel his attention was attracted by an Englishman and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunken 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. Stephens accepted the commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which he was assigned. He gave them final Instructions. They boarded the vessel. They successfully captured the vessel supposed to be ^iie Esmeralda, through strategy. Capt. Stephens gave directions for the departure of the craft. He entered the cabin and discovered the English woman and her maid. Stephens quickly learned the wrong vessel had been captured. It was Lord Darlington's private yacht, the lord's wife and maid being aboard. He explained the situation to her ladyship. Then First Mate Tuttle laid bare the plot, saying that the Sea Queen had been taken in order to KO to the Antarctic circle. Tuttle explained that on a former voyage he had learned that the Donna Isabel was lost in 1753. He had found It frozen in a huge case of ice on an island and contained much gold. Stephens consented to be th* captain of the expedition. He told Lady Darlington. She was greatly alarmed, but expressed confidence in him. The Sea Queen encountered a vessel In the fog. Stephens attempted to communicate. This caused a tierce struggle and he was overcome. Tuttle finally squaring the situation. Then the Sea Queen headed south again. Under Tuttle's guidance the vessel made progress toward Its goal. De Nova, the mate, told Stephens that he believed Tuttle, now acting as skipper, Insane because of his queer actions. Stephens wan awakened by .crashing of glass. He saw Tuttle in the grip of a spasm of religious mania and overcame him. The sailor upon regaining his senses was taken 111. Tuttle committed suicide by shooting. Upon vote of the crew "Stephens assumed the leadership and the men decided to continue the treasure hunt, the islands being supposed to be only 200 miles distant. Tuttle was burled in the sea, Lady Darlington pronouncing the service. Stephens awaking from sleep saw the ghost, supposed to have formed the basis for Tuttle's religious mania. Upon advice of Lady Darlington, Stephens started to probe the ghost. He came upon Lieut. Sanchez, the drunken officer he had humbled In Chile. He found that at Sanchez' inspiration. Engineer McKnight played "ghost" to scare the men into giving up the quest. Stephens announced that the Sea Queen was at the spot where Tuttle's quest was supposed to be. The crew was anxious to go on In further search. De Nova and Stephens conquered them in a fist light, Lady Darlington thanked htm. The Sea Queen started northward. She was wrecked in a fog. Stephens. De Nova, Lady Darlington and her maid being among those to set out in a life boat. Ten were rescued. Stephens sow only one chance In a thousand for life. Lady Darlington confessed her love to Stephens and he did likewise. Lady Darlington told her life story; how CHAPTER XXII,—Continued. "Oh, I know you do. It is because I know you do that I wish to tell you my story. It is my love which makes me so anxious that you should understand, so when the end comes we can go together, loving each other, and not afraid. Do you recognize me? Have you ever realized who I am?" I could only shake my head, wondering at the strange question. "No? And yet I have known you ever since that first long talk we had together in the cabin. It seemed so odd, such a strange freak of destiny, that you should have been associated in any way with my old life, and yet the very fact that yon were, first created the bond that has since drawn ua together. You were no longer a mere sea-adventurer, but an old-time friend and equal. From that day all was different. I could fight it back, but could never conquer .what that discovery meant. Oh, how small this world is! Did you ever hear of Doris Winslow?" A moment the vague, clouded memory eluded me, tantalized me. Then in a flash the revelation came. "My sister's chum at Wellesley?" The tears sprang glistening into her eyes, her handclasp tightening. "Yes; does it seem possible? You never knew me, except by that name. My father died during the second year o | my attendance there; then mother ant! I went abroad, and my education was completed on the continent. I am not finding fault, but—but it was all most unfortunate; It brought me into real life with a false understanding of everything — v/rong Ideals, wrong Standards. We were known to be wealthy, many ronaidered me beautiful; my mother's one ambition was toracai«Ws tttofo$ed 'sodaf kUadtni in. -Europe JUMI fjom the Jirtt, I * u :Myt fjd^fci^n, ««lr<^an(Uri^a,lociAl environment, were an shape* with this purpose In view. In spite of myself the rtwult was accomplished. HI was merely a girl of 17, desiring little but a good lime, and accustomed all my life to the guidance of others. Lord Darlington joined oar party In Italy, and we Journeyed together for a week through the Italian Alps, Anally going on hoari his yacht as-Invited guests for a cruise in the Mediterranean. He was .moat attentive to me, yet I gave It scarcely a thought. I hardly realized what was taking place —what It all meant, but—but one day we went ashore, and—and we were married at the British legation In Athens. That day I was a careless girl; the next morning found me a woman, regretful, aroused from a dream, yet yielding to the Inevitable. Whatever I suffered was borne alone; not even my mother ever heard me complain." She sat looking forth over the crestB of the sea, the moonlight reflecting back into her face. The Ball swung in and shadowed her. "Within a. .month we went to England, to Darlington hall, where everything was at my command, and later to London, during the social season. I had all that the world seems to value at my feet and at first I managed to be happy after a fashion. The excitement and exhilaration kept me alive and interested, but in time the glitter and ju-tlflciallty of It all wearied me; more and more deeply I realized the sordid manner in which I had been sold, and 1 grew to hate those things which had purchased me. It was not Lord Darlington— he was more father than husband, humoring me in every way, and aecretly regretful for his part in the transaction. I became ill, begged for the sea, and we went aboard in his yacht He was not unwilling, but to my mother It proved a constant hardb a c k , I Have Waited So Long, So Long, Now All I Can Say Is, I Love You." Bhip. Only her anxiety to prevent any rupture between us caused her to go on board. Yet even when I had recovered health I would not go back; that life would have killed me. Out In the open I could breathe and live; It yielded me courage to continue as I was." She bent forward, bringing her face once again into the revealing moonlight, her eyes frankly open to mine. "I only wish I could make you realize how drearily lonely that life became. There was no knowledge of love to complicate the situation, and at first I even felt a sense of gratitude toward Lord Darlington for many acts of kindness and the consideration shown me. This changed, however, as I began slowly to comprehend the selfishness of his motives—that his actions arose merely from a certain pride in my youthful appearance and the advantages to be derived from my wealth. My mother soon alienated my affections by always allying herself with him. Finally I had no one to whom I could turn for comfort or advice. I felt entirely alone, and grew silent, suspicious, and adverse to all social pleasures. The vows of marriage rested lightly on Lord Darlington, but for that I did not greatly care, except that the knowledge snapped the last weak bond between us. Almost wild to escape from Europe and its torturing memories I finally planned an extensive yachting trip around the world. I was impulsive, headstrong, even hopeful that I might be permitted to invite a few congenial friends and sail alone. To my surprise Lord Darlington expressed pleasure in the idea, and even persuaded my mother to accompany ua." Her face sank suddenly into her hands, her body trembling. "I bore it all smilingly, and enjoyed the sea. But I was a woman now, bitterly resenting the manner in which I had been bartered in the matrimonial market. I knew nothing of love, except as I perceived it in the lives of others, but I was hungry, starving for H. We arrived at Valparaiso; this strange adventuM occurred to me, and- -then I met you." Her hands went out again to me, and I caught them eagerly. "That—that day In the cabin, I— I knew you for one of my own class; I knew yon for a true man, a gentle* man; I—I read the love in your eyes, and I should have been an angel not to have welcomed It Oh, God knows I tried not to do so! I prayed for help to resist my own heart, but the help was not given me. Now I comprehend it was not meant that I should jMslst. The end was in sight even from the beginning. Love is more than ceremony, and can make even death sweet. I have no sense of' evil as I look into your eyes; I have come into my inheritance, the rightful inheritance of every woman—love. Even if it is only for a day. It is mine—mine by the gift of God. Oh, Jack, Jack, I have waited so long, so long, and now all 1 can say, all I desire to aay, is, I love you!" Oh, that scene! that desolate, dreary, Ood-forsaken, hopeless scene— the heaving waters, the cold sky, the ice-gleam, the awful expanse of barrenness all about. Did ever love come to mortal before or since in such a spot, or amid such utter helplessness? But I forgot all, though even as I bent to her lips she begged me, falteringly, not to touch her yet. There, in the heart of that Antarctic sea, castaways, drifting to what seemed certain death, we found in this confession a happiness that the world without would have sternly denied us. Ay! and we were stronger for it, braver for it; our eyes aglow, our hearts pulBing to the one great music of the universe. "Tell It to me," she whispered smilingly. "I love you." "And I am happier than in all my life before." We spoke but briefly as we sat thus, my hand firm upon the tiller, my eyes never forgetful of those great surges smiting us. Indeed, there was little to say, for we had no future to discuss, no plans to formulate. We could only live out the night, with the morrow a blank before us. Yet there was nothing of all this in the girl's face upturned and happy, nor did I permit my eyes to mar her happiness. We were together, understanding each other, and for the moment that was enough. Yet in some way my pulse beat stronger, my will to conquer this demon sea became mighty. God helping me, this love-life should not end here—end in mystery and oblivion; those restless waters should not overcome us forever. I would fight them for her sake and my own! The stars and waves defied such determination, yet 1 only stiffened in my seat, a new strength animating my body, a new faith stimulating my soul. Fifteen hundred miles! Father of Mercy, guide us! Yet it had been done, and it might be done again. "What is it, Jack?" she questioned softly. "Of what were you thinking?" "Of the stiff battle ahead of us, dear; the fight for life and love across these leagues of ocean." "For life and love! Do you mean you dream of reaching safety?" "I mean to struggle for it; to do all a man and sailor may. If we die, now, sweetheart, it will be to lose more than ever before was possible." Her cheeks flushed instantly, her lashes drooping. "No, no; if we win safety it will only be to lose all else. But the thought is impossible; no skill, no courage, no strength of arm or heart could ever work such a miracle of deliverance. I will not dream it, for how could I go back, go back to that old Ufa again with my heart full of love f*#T«W? That.WouW be a fate worse thasrdeath; it would be dishonor." I did not answer, did not even look into her face. "Sorely you do not mean it, Jack?" almost pleadingly, her hand reaching blindly out for mine. "You can not brine me to such Shame, such trial?" "It la not shame," I answered earnestly, all my soul revolting against the word, "it may be trial, but It is not shame. In the face of death you have confessed you love me, and in the face of death I shall endeavor to retain thai love. I should be no man if I did less. Shame! Do not use that term between us. What was there holy or divine in the selling of you to that English peer? Why should that act of mere barter hold us apart? The law of God la paramount to the law of man. Doris, you are mine, although you yet withhold the pledge of the lips; mine everywhere and forever; mine here in this desolate reach of sea, and mine yonder in the great world, if we ever again attain it I never will yield you up to another; never relinquish my claim. Against nature and man I shall endeavor to hold what is my own." One moment I gazed down Into her eyes, penetrating to the gray depths, and perceiving there a Budden outburst of passion which she did not even seek to conceal. It was a revelation absolute and complete, a revelation never to be forgotten. Yet she did not touch me, did not answer in words, and in another instant her glance turned away out over the grim desolation of waters. I was still look-, ing at her, intoxicated by what I had seen, when she pointed excitedly forward. "In heaven's name, what is that?" Hardly had my glance shifted when Kelly leaped to hlB feet, his voice raised in a wild yell. "Mither of God, sorr, there's a ship!" C H A P T E R X X I I I . In Which We Board a Derelict. I saw the sleepers cast off their coverings and rise up startled and staring, but I could only gaze dumbly at the apparition before us, doubting the evidence of my own eyes and unable to utter a sound. At that first glance 1 believed the thing illusion, a mirage of the deep, a shadow-ship mocking us with semblance of reality. The cold silvery-light played along her glistening side, causing the whole extent of the vessel to gleam back into our eyes like a great mirror, while the very shape and form of the silently gliding specter appeared a survival from out the dead past, a ghastly relic of centuries gone uplifted from those somber depths below. The silence, gloom, the dim outline of the great hull, the strange glimmer of it from bow to stern; all combined to make it seem a ghost-ship, sported with by the waves. It moved slowly under the impelling power of the wind beating against the broad high stern, the blunt bows scarcely rippling the water, passing almost directly across our track, appearing more like a painted picture than anything constructed of wood and iron. Out of the night, dim, visionary, it swam before us, a weird, uncanny thing, chilling the blood with its ghostllness. I rubbed my eyes, staring at the silvery reflection, my heart pulsing with a horror which set me trembling. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Why Streams Are Disappearing. Anyone who has reached the age of 75 has noticed the disappearance of the small brooks where he played in his district school days, while larger ones have shrunk to summer threads, and rivers that filled their banks all the year are hardly more than rivulets in summer. Commissioner Whipple of New York state tells up that the upper Hudson, in August of 1907, had no more than two inches of water where it used to roll a heavy volume. There is substantial agreement that this change has been due to the denudation of our hills and valleys of the water-holding trees. It takes a cen> tury to grow such forests as we found covering the continent; it has taken half a century to destroy them.—The Independent. Work and Nerves. Work, again, is the enemy of insomnia. The sufferer from bad or broken sleep is liable to give up duties or to be slack in their performance, to abandon exercise and forget his usual hobbies because of bis anticipation of a night of distress. In reality, he ought to prepare himself for sleep by congenial activity, in which his mind will be weaned away from the fear of not sleeping. Once more, w.irk is an enemy totne fears and impulsions, to the atfanfe sense of unreality and other morbid symptoms which accompany psychasthenic Work restores to such a sufferer "the function of the real." It is only through contact with reality that man, whether normal or abnormal, can find abiding satisfaction.—Rev. S. S. Mc- Comb, in Harper's Baza.-. He Needed Buttons. The surgeons were a trifle startled upon finding that they had incidentally sewed up a sponge in the patient. They hurriedly reopened him and extracted it. When all was neatly sewed up once more they came upon the discovery that they had forgotten a knife. They opened him up again and found the knife, sewed him up, and raised a large wad of cotton. When they bad again reopened him. found the cotton, and closed him again, the patl«\t opened his eyes in a weary way.

When the husband remonstrated she simply commanded her daughter to pack her father's gripsack and there and then ordered him out of the house. He went, and then the lady sued him for desertion and demanded alimony. "But surely you did not take it so feebly?'' asked the magistrate of the husband. "It was no use objecting," waB the answer. "She wanted to be master and said that if I annoyed her she would lock me up. I was only too anxious to go back home, but she would not let me." The ca9e was dismissed. BABY WASTED TO SKELETON "My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come out on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad that I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able, to walk. "My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I sent to a drug store and got a cake of Cuticura^oap and a box of the Ointment and followed directions. At the end of two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. I can sincerely say that only for Cuticura my child would have died. I used only one cake of Cuticura Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. "I am a nurse and my profession brings me into many different families and it is always a pleasure for me to tell my story and recommend Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon, Litchfield. Conn..

Lettuce will stand a great deal ot cool weather. Better a small garden well tilled than a" large one neglected. . Always use fresh horse manure In the hot bed and well-rotted manure In the soil. Owning a manure-spreader stimulates us to get the manure out aB fast as made. Lima beans may be planted along the fence and the garden fence utilized as a trellis. The more thoroughly the soil Is broken up, the more the plant tood Is made available. A plot of ground 40x60 feet will supply a family of five or six with all the vegetables they can e a t Wornout. exhausted soil may produce grass better than other crops, but It will not produce a real good crop of anything. Washing the horses' shoulders with strong alum water at noon and at night, when working will aid materially in preventing galls. Peppers are very valuable for sea- Bo.nlng and should have a place in the garden. A pepper plant with nice ripe pods is also quite ornamental. Pansies are very attractive and afford much pleasure when properly cared for. Make the pansy bed in rich, deep soil in a cool, protected place. Cucumbers require a warm, rich soil and plenty of moisture. A few hills well fertilized with barnyard manure and watered occasionally will yield as much as a large family can use. iXAMWING KERNEL OF CORN Many Important Points to Be Considered In Selecting 8eed—Shape, Uniformity and Qerm. (By W. A. GRAHAM, N O R T H CAROLINA D E P A R T M E N T OF AGRICULTURE.) A kernel or grain of corn consists of nine parts: 1. Tip cap, which covers the tip or base of the kernel and comprises only about 1.5 per cent, of the grain. 2. Embryo root. 3. Tip starch. 4. Germ. The germ occupies the central part of the kernel toward the tip end. It comprises about 11 per , . . * • < * > • • ' tein, being the richest In proieln of all the parts of the corn kernel 7. Horny starch. The horny starchy part is the chief substance In the sides and bark ot the kerne} f the ^ germ face being considered the front of the kernel). This substance comprises about 46 per cent of ordinary corn, but la a u d i more Abundant In high protein* corn and less abundant in low protein. Although rich in starch, it contains about ten per cent of protein (more In the high protein corn and less in the low protein corn). It contains a greater total amount of protein than any other part of the kernel. 8. Corn starch. The white starchy part occupiea the center ot the crown end of the kernel and usually partially surrounds the germ. It comprises about 25 per cent, of the kernel (less in. protein corn). It is poor in protein (five to eight per cent.). 9. Hull. The bull la the very thin outer coat It comprises about six per cent of the kernel and contains a lower percentage of protein (about four per cent) than any other part of the kernel. When the grain sprouts, No. 2, the embryo root goes down into the ground. No. 6. embryo stem, goes upward out of the ground to make the stalk. For seed the grain should be carefully examined as to (1} shape, (2) uniformity or resemblance, (3) germ or viability, 1. e., sprouting. Different soils and environment will require different varieties and types ot corn. Seek that for which your farm proves to be most productive of good quality. In nearly all of the states the following points are used in judging seed corn: Uniformity, trueness to type, shape of ear, color market conditions, tips, butts, uniformity of grain, shape of grain, length of ear, circumference of ear, space between rows and grain, proportion by weight of shelled corn.

The germ contains from 35 to 40 per cent of corn oil or from 80 to 85 per cent of the total oil contained in the corn kernel. 5. Embryo stem or Btalk. 6. Horny gluten. The horny glutenoHs part (aleurone layer) lies underneath the hull surrounding the kernel. It comprises from 8 to 14 per cent of the grain (being more abundant in high protein corn), and it contains from 20 to 25 per cent, ot pro- HANDY LITTLE SEED MARKER Arranging tog Drag. sliding off sideways, writes J.

According to the Crop Reporter, issued by the United States department of agriculture, the average oat yields per acre for ten years were as follows: Russia, 19.4 bushels; France, 28.1; Austria, 28.6; United States, 29.8; United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, 44.7, and Germany, 47.3. The three great crops of wheat last year were: United States, 807,- 156,000 bushels; Germany, 530,131,000 bushels, and Russia, 834,502,000 bushels. The world's crop was 3,560,524,- 000 bushels, and in excess of either corn or wheat Important to Have Perfectly Straight Lines In Garden to Save Ground and for Appearance.

A good stand of grass of the right kind is as important as a good stand of corn. It is of even more importance because it lasts longer and measures the returns not of one but of, usually, many. lines can be run through the first. It is important to have perfectly straight lines for planting all garden stuff in order to save ground to Ray nothing of the good appearance of the garden and this can be accomplished In no other way except by the use of a marker. In drawing the Urst line the ground should be squared up accurately and a line drawn at one side as a guide for the marker. It is a good plan to use a line for all other marks as well as setting it exactly 18 Inches from the last mark. Farmers' Bank. Some one said the manure yard Is the farmers' bank. This is a big mistake. The sod field is the farmers' bank, and if he deposits the stable manure there daily he will draw 100 per cent, interest, and we will go on the cashier's bond. Dust is one of the great road problems. Its presence means wear and tear, and disease. Applications of tar not only keeps it down and prevents it, but tar is a disinfectant. It kills the germs, and a tarred road will certainly make for health. Hard to Cheese, "Edward," said the 4eecber, "you have spelled the word rabbit with two t's.

Gold storage chickens, which are practically poisonous to delicate stomachs, look bruised or very yellow, and the meat Is dry and generally tasteless. A young turkey may be known by Its short spurs and black and smooth legs, and the age of a young duck told by tearing the skin of the foot between the toee. If It comes easily apart the duck Is young; If the skin stretches like rubber the bird Is old. The good-eating goose is the one whose windpipe makes a crackling sound under pressure between the fingers, and whose under-wing skin breaks through delicately when the thumb is pressed against k. All poultry should hang for 48 hours in a cool place after the killing, if It is cooked before this, or the blood is not properly drained oh*, the flesh will be tough and unwholesome. The dry-picked fowl tastes 90 per cent better than the one which has been scalded for the removal of the feathers. The packing is easily done while the bird is still warm, and if the intestines are removed before it is hung up for the day and night it will be all the sweeter. This rule applies to all birds, domestic or wild, though where a wild turkey or duck needs to be kept for two or three weeks before eating it need not be drawn. Epicures like their wild birds hung up by the bill; when thlB gives way and the bird drops to the ground it Is thought ready for eating. Old fowls or geese are made more tender if rubbed outside and inside with salt and left this way over night A final good washing with soda will make the flesh still more delicate. An old turkey may also be rubbed with salt over night, and be treated, as well, to several teaspoons of vinegar. When ready to cook It wash all the vinegar away and rub the bird finally with a freshly cut lemon. Guinea fowls and rabbit are not fit to eat unless they have been kept hanging up In a cool place quite ten days after being killed. The freshness of fish may easily be told, even In the coldest weather. Look always for color In the gills, for fresh whole eyes, and for bright scales. Never take a fish which looks dull and dead, for this means it has been a long time out of water. The safest choice Is made from those lying on the tables and not from the Ice box. Trust the nose a little, too. If the fish smells rank, is faintly suggestive of carrion, flee its presence. It may be quite stale, frozen and refrozen to conceal Its true condition. Five minutes In a hot kitchen would make such a fish unbearable. Defore cooking any fish wash It thoroughly In cold, salted water. It must then be carefully dried on a clean towel, or it will be soppy when cooked. EDWARD VII. Rhubarb Ginger. Wash, but do not peel, the rhubarb. The pink skin gives it a pretty color. Measure the rhubarb and allow as much sugar as you have fruit. To four pounds each sugar and rhubarb allow the Juice of two lemons and the yellow rinds, cut thin, with an eighth of a pound of green ginger root cut in thin slices. Cook until thick as marmalade. Water Staina. To take out the water stains from a green satin gown stretch the satin smoothly upon a board covered with a clean cloth and pin it taut Then, with your finger nail, scratch gently around the edges of the spots until they are blended with the surrounding texture. Work thus toward the center of the stain. If you are careful in the task and do not skip a thread, the chances are that the spot will be so nearly invisible as not to be observed by the casual observer. Dresden Chocolate Crumbs. Mix one cup of stale bread crumbs with one-half cup grated chocolate, two tablespoons of sugar, pinch of salt Bake in a moderate oven until chocolate is melted and crumbs heated. Serve with whipped cream. Wild Pepper Qrasa. Pick carefully, wash well and use for flavoring sandwiches, fillings of meat or cream cheese or salads. A few spoonfuls added to a cream cheese give a piquant and delicious flavor. The Funeral Arrangements for the Nation's Dead King, Court, military and municipal officials, working at high pressure, completed ths detail* of the arr&ngemenU for the king's funeral ceremonies this wee.*. The preliminary obsequies began Saturday, when, the king's body, after his brother, the Duke of Connaught, took his farewell look, was removed from the simple death-room to the splendid throne-room of the palace, which was converted Into a dispells ardente, where It remained privately In state Sunday and Monday. On Tuesday the body will be removed with processional pomp to Westminster hall, where it will lie publicly in state until Friday. Not even at the time of the death of Queen Victoria was the rush for mourning so immediate aad universal as since the death of the king. Already every woman in London is wearing a black costume. Many of these are quite out of style and have evidently been laid away for years. Indeed, the sudden mourning has completely revolutionized the spring modes. The mummy skirt and the cart wheel hat have disappeared, the desire of every_woman apparently being to appear inconspicuous. The large firms have ordered their employes to buy mourning clothes. Women of all classes are making every effort to show respect for the d«ad monarch. Many ladies are discarding spring costumes which they recently bought, and are wearing rusty black. The craze for mourning has, indeed, gone to such an extent that it meana a pecuniary loss to many people. George Bernard Shaw, the dramatist, in a letter to the Times, protests against this. He says: "Take the case of a man with a profession or business from which he has a few hundred pounds a year, with three daughters at the nearest high school. The school is compelled to go in mourning. The dresses provided for the season have to be discarded and a new black dress bought To a court official it may be inconceivable that so trifling an expense should be a hardship to any one. The remedy is to drop the vague expression 'decent mourning' and to define the wearing of a violet ribbon as appropriate mourning for royalty. This would be correct, inexpensive and pretty. Why our schools should be deliberately made hideous with black because an honorable public career, has come to its natural close in all peace and fulfillment and with a cheerful memory is not apparent to any healthy minded person." Mr. Shaw's suggestion has been followed by many men, so that instead of wearing a black band, a purple inset in the sleeve is regarded as the proper thing. Mr. Roosevelt's arrival in London Monday was without ostentation. There Is no service like his that serves because be loves.—Si? Philip Sydney. DO I) P S v; KIDNEY '</,.

The superseding of British officers by Japanese in the Japanese transpacific liners—the officers being removed one by one, generally at this end of the run—is said to be due to pressure of Japanese public opinion, which demandB the manning of Japanese vessels entirely by Japanese. The companies would like to retain white captains and chief engineers, but even this is impossible. Each month sees fewer white officers on the Japanese liners that arrive on Puget Sound.

ANDKKWS, publisher. PINCKNEY. MICHIGAN T H E H E A R T OF Y O U T H . We have been told that as long as w e keep our hearts young we need have no fear of the depressing lonelin e s s ol advancing years, and many writers more or less experienced in such matters have suggested many w a y s in which we can accomplish that desired end. N o t w o natures, however, are alike, and It follows that no s e t of hard and fast rules can be made t o a p - ply to each distinct personality. The man or woman who passes through life alive to the blessings which abound on every side rarely c e a s e s to become an active contributor to the lives of otners, and as long as a person actually participates in any work, large or Bmall, the influence of his personality Is bound to be felt and his counsel regarded. It is only w h e n one h a s tired of the game, ox enters only half-heartedly Into affairs outside of his own special interests that he ceases to exercise any Influence, and bis individuality V no longer recognized. Enthusia s m s e e m s In s o m e way to be a n attribute of the youthful character; at any rate, it is far easier to become interested in what Is going on in our immediate circle w h e n the pulse beats high and the blood courses warmly than in later years when so many of u s are concerned only with our o w n affairs and evince but small Interest in the doings of others. In the good old days they used to have signboards at the crossroads In the country region to point the pilgrim on his way. It was always a cheery sign. It spoke a welcome to the stranger. It indicated a disposition to be helpful. But these signboards are nearly all gone. Only now and then you see one, and then it seems like the relic of a bygone friendship. It s e e m s to say to the stranger: "We once took a n Interest in you, but we do so no longer; If you don't know the way, what do we care?" That Is the situation today; a forlorn one, Indeed; a cheerless one. No little sign thrown out, saying: "We are thinking of you, we care for you, we want you to go right." Now, this ought not to be. There should be little signboards to greet him, and to tell him the way he ought to go. This thought is getting some headway In Massachusetts, where there Js an effort to restore the signboards, and to give to the Btranger the help of knowing where he is. There Is a new reform out In Iown, and. It Is started by 18 young ladies, prominent in social circles, who have at last discovered the abomination that exists in mere gossip, and so they have organized to suppress it, says Ohio State Journal. They call their organization the "Antigosslp society." This lu a fine effort. It means Intellectual and moral uplift. It means that conversation shall deal with real things— with science, philosophy, literature, hlctory, nature and those things that adorn and uplift life. It is not to be thought for an instant that It Is the young women alone that need to organize for this high purpose. The male section of mankind needs Just such a reformatory movement. We might say they need it more than the women. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, who Is on his way as special envoy from the United States to the centenary celebration of the independence of the Argentine republic at Buenos Ayres, stopped of at Havana, where the former American governor of the island had a reception which left no doubt as to the place he holds in Cuban hearts. In fact, it may be said he showed them hpw to govern themselves, and the success they have attained la a tribute to the effectiveness of his lessons.

Pitty of the 83 couuties of the state received more primary money thau they paid in taxes during 190¾. The total tax levy for 1909 was $5,929,,- 719.74, while the primary fund apportionment this spring was $4,902,551.20. An examination of the list of counties shows that in the newer counties of the state there are apparently enough children to eutkle them to a larger amount of money than the older counties draw. The list of counties with the excess of primary money they drew or the e x c e s s of state taxes they paid Auditor-General Fuller shows to be a s follows: Primary Alcona | 8,756.18 A l g e r SG6.U2 Allegan Alpena U1.147.8S Antrim 4,12ti.»0 Arenac 14,112.85 Baraga 2,640.11 Barry Bay 35,371).65 Benzie y, 724.87 Berrien Branch Calhoun Cass Cheboygan 16.305.C2 Chippewa . . . . . . 16,389.88 Clare 5,460.50 Clinton Crawford 1,724.33 Delta 29.362.44 Dickinson 3,751.24 Eaton Emmett 6,385.18 Genesee Gladwin 10,567.80 Gogebic Grand Traverse. «,430.20 Gratiot Hillsdale Houghton Huron 22.553.83 Ingham Ionia Iosco * . 15,085.54 Iron 1,348.88 Isabella 10,419.81 Jackson Kalamazoo Kalkaska 2,828.37 Kent Keweenaw Lake 6,781.73 Lapeer Leelanau 12,277.06 Lenawee Livingston Luce, Mackinaw 4,741.93 Macomb Manistee 19,032.98 Marquette Mason 20.998.14 Mecosta 21.232.86 Menominee 24,584.22 Midland 13,810.10 Missaukee 14,494.76 Monroe Montcalm 13,162,28 Montmorency . . . 2,521,28 Muskegon 14,805.11 Newaygo 18,931,62 Oakland Oceana 16,175.02 Ogemaw 11.828.80 Ontonagon Osceola 19.091.36 Oscoda 1.413.97 Otsego 4.542 06 Ottawa 8.019.9!)

The new postofflce recently erected In Coldwater at a cost of $65,000 was thrown open to the public. That Mason county farmers will suffer a loss of thousands of dollar* this year a s the result of frost is now practically assured. The cooper shop and heading mills of James Malcolm on the w e s t side of Saginaw w e r e destroyed by fire with a loss of $15,000. After eight years of hard toll on the part of an association of ladles, the Oakland County hospital at Pontlac was thrown open to the public for the first time. At the grand lodge Masons' convention at Saginaw the site for the Masonic home to replace t h e structure burned In Grand Rapids will be decided by the delegates. Benton Hanchett, banker and financier of Sa&lnaw, is 111 In a hospital In Baltimore, Md., whither he went recently for an operation. Latest reports say that he will recover. Fred W. Sherman, until a year ago owner and editor of the Port Huron Times, has purchased The Independent at Santa Barbara, Cal., to which place he will remove his family. Fire of unknown origin was discovered in the boiler shop at the Port Huron Engine & Thresher Co.'s plant at the tunnel and damage estimated at between $30,000 and $36,000 resulted. Exhumed for the purpose of being transferred from the old to the new Roman Catholic cemetery at Marquette, the remains of Mary Elmore, who died 41 years ago, were found petrified. Attorney Colgrove, who will defend Warden W e n g e r in his trial on a perjury charge, has returned from Cuba, where he has been attending his sick son, and the warden's case is now set for May 31. Never in the history of the Michigan state fair have the concessions gone so rapidly as they have this year. At the present writing over half of the concessions have been sold. All are of a high order. Fire destroyed the dry kiln of the Jones & Green planing mill at Big Rapids. The building and contents, valued at $4,500, were consumed. Hard work on the part of a bucket brigade saved the mill.

Four hundred suits are now being made. The common council has passed a resolution which provides that when a circus comes to Port Huron that enough money must be deposited with the city clerk to clean up the show grounds after the circus leaves. Twenty-four head of cattle belonging to the state were burned to death in a fire which destroyed the cattle barns at the state industrial school at Lansing. A large quantity of hay and grain burned. The loss is $15,000. George Tarbuck, E. S.

The County Normal school at Big Rapids, which is held in the high school building, is about to complete a most successful year, and indications for the coming year are exceptionally bright. A total of 18 students are enrolled this year. Owosso's tax budget for this year is $100,000, the biggest In years, and the town feels "hard up." The increase is caused by the industrial progress that the city has made during the past year In the construction of sewers, sidewalks and various other improvements. The largest trout caught with a hook and line in recent years was brought in from Rock river by James Hudson, east of Marquette. The fish was a steelhead and weighed eight pounds.

Phenomena of the Daylight Hours Were Far More Interesting Than During the Night; All Over Within About Five Houre. The comet came, the oomet went, and this old earth is no worse and no better—and, thus far, very little wiser. There was no collision, a s the superstitious and the ignorant feared, and now that the coinet ia headed away from us, there will be no recurrence of the manifestations of terror that were recorded from all parts of the country. N o n e of the auroral displays that some astronomers were willing to concede might be visible were In evidence. Nor did anybody suffocate from deadly cyanogen gas. Comet parties were held everywhere—In the streets, on roof tops, in gardens—'but for all that was visible to the naked eye the tail of the comet was indeed the "veriest approach to nothing set in the midst of naught." In fact the phenomena of the daylight hours were far more interesting. Sun spots were observed in varying numbers, from five western observa tories, but the astronomers w h e recorded them were almost unanimous in the belief that these disturbances of the solar atmosphere had nothing t o do with the comet and were merely coincidental. Thirty sun-spots were seen from St. Louis, of which the largest was estimated to be 150,000 miles across; two from San Jose, Cal., with 13 surrounding pores, or smaller spots; thref "considerably accentuated" s p o t ! from Chicago, three connected spots from Vallejo, Cal., and t w o fromPort' land, Ore. None of the eastern observers had anything of note to report. At Chicago and Williams Bay, Wis., where is the great Yerkes telescope, the conditions for observations seemed the best, and the astronomers there were confident that the negative as well as the positive results of their examinations would he of lasting scientific value. The whole performance took little more than five hours. Observers differed a9 td' the exact time at which the eajfh began to pass through the c o m e t Y tail. The combined speed of the earth and the comet was estimated at slightly more than 46 miles a second, and the breadth of the tall at about a million mileB. • * 4 « »•*» * . 4 « l * " • Prof, W. J, Hus8ey, director of the astronomical observatory at Ann Arbor, offers a new solution to the problem, "Why didn't the earth pass through the comet's tall as per schedule?" His theory, which is well backed up by evidence, is that the comet has a double tail, and that the earth passed between the two parts. This would also explain why some astronomers have seen the tail in the west in the evening since Wednesday, while others have seen it in the same old place in the east before sunrise. Venua Sinks Rebels' Ship. The report reached Blueflelds that the Madrlz gunboat Venus, which was driven away from Blueflelds, engaged and sunk t h e Estrada gunboat Ometepe off Punta Gorda. The report w a s brought by a coast schooner. There Is no official confirmation, although the report Is generally believed. The Ometepe left In search of t h e Venus. She had 200 men aboard. The Venus had 400 men. and was well armed with rapid fire guns. It is said that 100 of the Ometepe's men w e r e drowned and killed during the engagement. Mr. and Mrs. Taft Life Members. President.

When the British square at the battle of Abu Klea, In the Nubian desert* was penetrated by the dervishes, one of them attempted to spear a gunner who was In the act of ramming home a charge. The Briton brained the Sudanese, but the rammer head split on the man's hard skull. N e x t day the gunner was sent for. Mistaking the reason, and knowing from experience that soldiers are charged for government property which thoy break, he led off with: "Please, sir, I'm very sorry I broke the rammer, but I never thought the fellow's head could be so hard. I'll pay for the rammer so aB to hear no more of the case." Old Men in Responsibility. The American business system, w7htch gives mere boys responsible positions before they have acquired practical experience, is to an Englishman quite unaccountable. H e wonders whether it does not cause reckless trading and wild speculation. In other countries they prefer to keep elderly men in responsible positions because they can be depended upon.

INI 3YNOPS13, T h e story opens with the introduction ©f John Stephens, adventurer, a Massachusetts man marooned by authorities at Valparaiso, Chile. Being Interested In mining operations in Bolivia, he waa denounced by Chile as an Insurrectionist and as a consequence w a s h i d i n g At his hotel his attention was attracted by an E n g l i s h m a n and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunken officer. He w a s thanked by her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told him that war had been declared between Chile and Peru and offered htm the office of captain. H e desired that that night the Esmeralda, a Chilean vessel, should be captured. Stephens accepted the . commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which he wasr assigned. H e . g a v e them Anal Instructions. They boarded the vessel. They successfully captured the vessel supposed to be the Esmeralda, through . strategy. Capt. Stephens gave, directions fpr t h e d e - fiarture of the craft- H e entered the cabn and discovered the English woman and her maid. Stephens quickly learned the wrong vessel had been captured. It w a s Lord Darlington's private yacht, the lord's wife and maid being aboard. H e explained the situation to ner ladyship. Then First Mate Tuttle laid bare the plot, s a y i n g that the Sea Queen had been taken in order t * g o to the Antarctic circle. Tuttle explained that on a former voyage he had learned that the D o n n a Isabel w a s lost in 1753. He had found it frozen in a huge case of ice on an island and contained much gold. Stephens consented to be the captain of the expedition. H e told Lady Darlington. She was greatly alarmed, but expressed confidence in him. The Sea Queen encountered a vessel In the fog. Stephens attempted to communicate. This caused a fierce struggle and he w a s overcome. Tuttle finally squaring the situation. Then the Sea Queen headed south again. Tinder Tuttle's guidance the vessel made progress toward Its goal. De Nova, the mate, told Stephens that he believed Tuttle, now acting as skipper, insane because of his queer actions. Stephens w a s awakened by crashing of glass. He s a w Tuttle In the grip of a spasm of religious mania and overcame him. The sailor upon regaining his senses w a s taken ill. Tuttle committed suicide hy shooting. Upon vote of the crew Stephens assumed the leadership and the men decided to continue the treasure hunt, the Islands being supposed to be only 200 miles distant. Tuttle was buried in the sea. Lady Darlington pronouncing the service. Stephens a w a k i n g from sleep s a w the ghost, supposed to have formed' the basis for Tuttle's religious mania. Upon advice of Lady Darlington, Stephens started to probe the ghost. H e came upon Lieut. Sanchez, the drunken officer he had humbled in Chile. He found that at Sanchez' Inspiration, Engineer McKnlght played "ghost" to scare the men Into giving up the quest. Stephens announced thnt the Sea Queen was at the spot where Tuttle's quest was supposed to be. The crew w a s anxious to go on in further search. De Nova and Stephens conquered them in a fist fight. Lady Darlington thanked him. The Sea Queen started northward. She was wrecked In a fog. Stephens. De Nova. Lady Darlington and her maid being a m o n g those to set out In a life boat. Ten were rescued. Stephens saw only one chance In a thousand for Hfe. Lady Darlington confessed her love tn Stephens and he did likewise. L a d y Darlington told her life story, how she had bepn bartered for a title, her yearning for absent love. She revealed herself an the .school ctmm of Stephens' sister. She expressed a wish to die In the sea rather than face her former friends and go back tn the old life. A ship waa sighted. The craft proved to be a derelict. CHAPTER XXIII.—Continued. Yet, little by Httle, my mind hegan to apprehend the truth, my reason to grasp the details. MiBt or reality, there directly before us floated what appeared to be the outlines of a ship— battered, wrecked, odd in form—yet a ship, moving upright upon the surface of the water. Good God! what a mad dream of the past, was represented yonder! Those round, blunt bows, the broken bowsprit, heavy as a mast, forking straight upward; the great carven, shapeless figurehead beneath; the wide, elevated forecastle deck; the seemingly tremendous thickness of the bulwarks; the strange slope of deck and rail amidships; the immense remnant of a fore-mast towering in splinters; the broad, square stern, even over-topping the height of the peaked forecastle. That wag a grim thing to meet with in those waters. "Stand by, men!" I called, the tremble still in my command. "If the thing yonder be wood and iron we'll board her." Not a voice responded, their bodies tense and motionless, every eye still on that dim, phnntom gleam. With clenched teeth 1 pressed the tiller hard down, and the bows of the longboat headed straight in. Suddenly De Nova leaped to his feet. "Ship ahoy!" he yelled, the note of fear sounding shrilly. In the intense silence 1 could plainly hear the heavy breathing of the excited men. . "There will be no use hailing," I •akfe ^Itrengtheaed by the sound of my own voice. "If that be a vessel, ber crew are dead a hundred years." ?A»<| by God^lt is, Bir! "/ejaculated Johnson, who was on his £jiees ia the bow. "It's a real ship, all right. That's Ice that glitters; she's sheeted ia it from stem to stern." I saw it myself then, every doubt of the real character of this drear visitant vanishing; my courage came back in a rush. "Ay, ay, lads, Johr^un has hit it right. That's a ship for us, and now we'll see what she looks like on deck. Get a grip with your boatjbook, Johnson, on that raft of stuff trailing from the forechains, when I lay her alongside. Strike the wood If you can, the cordage is likely to be rotten." He missed it at the first attempt the hook slipping on the ice; but as 1 brought the lopgboat around once more, he succeeded in getting a grip upon something sufficiently firm and held on, the fellows staring up silently at the bulging side, and touching the thick sheathing of Ice as though half demented. "Make fast. Break the ice out of that ring, Kelly, and pass a stout rope through it. Now furl the sail, the rest of you. Fend her off, Cole; that's all right, keep your oar there. Mr. De Nova, you will remain in charge of the boat. I'll see what ehe looks like aboard; Johnson, come along with me." I picked my way forward into the bows and stood up. Btrlving to obtain gome kind of a grip on the forechains which would enable me to haul myself up. Everything I touched was ice, so thick aB to render objects shapeless. "Give me a lift, Kelly; easy, now, until I get a handhold. There, that will do, my lad." It was a slippery, dangerous perch, the vessel plunging somewhat, but the upper ice was Blightiy powdered with snow, yielding a. little purchase, and I finally discovered a brace for my feet which enabled me to reach down and assist Johnson to scramble up beside me. Fortunately the bulwarks were not so high proportionately as wide, T - T s "I < "Don't Lose Your Nerve, Man, You've Seen Dead Men Before." and we succeeded in sliding over them, coming down rather heavily on the solid deck. Here the snow made walking possible, although underneath the ice was thick and smooth, compelling caution. All forward was a terrible raffle of wreckage, a Jumbled mass of tangled spars, with the great topmast and all its hamper right where It had fallen, a portion of the port bulwark smashed flat. A hummock of ice rose like a great hill from abaft the butt of the foremast, which stuck up maybe 30 feet, clear over the forecastle deck, leaving everything shapeless and grotesque. Where the slope was steepest, the wind had swept away the snow leaving the ice beneath clear; and there, froaen completely in, like a painted picture, was the fully revealed body of a man. I never saw any sight more grewsome than that ice-shrouded figure; the arms outstretched, the short, black beard rendering more ghastly the white, dead face. I gripped my hands onto Johnson's shoulder, and he was shaking like an aspen, his own face colorless in the moonshine. I wheeled him about savagely. "Don't lose your nerve, man. You've seen dead men before. Come, there's nothing to do here; we'll try how she looks aft." He followed me like a dog, casting uneasy glances backward over his shoulder. The deck was clearer of raffle beyond the foremast, a great gap in the port-bulwarks amidships showing where the wreckage had probably been swept overboard. The mainmast had been ripped out, leaving a great, ugly gash in the deck plank, and in falling had so smashed flat one corner of the cook's galley that we could look In through the jagged opening thus left. All the front portion was snow and ice, but the further extremity appeared dry enough, revealing a brick oven, a table screwed to the wall, and an overturned scuttle of coals, littering the deck. It was not a desirable spot, yet would afford protection from the frosty night wind, and be much better than the open boat. Besides, I realized bow those others must {eel down there, bobbing up and down against those ice-caked sides. "Johnson,'* I said, my eyes wandering toward the dimly revealed front of the after-cabin, which appeared utterly shapeless under its mantle. "We've got quite a Job ahead of us to break through this wreckage. I'm for having the rest of the crew up to help us. Climb over into the main-chains and cut out some steps with your knife. We'll have them drop back there and unload. Then the women won't be obliged to see that dead man for'ard." ' He was some minutes at the task, and I occupied the time in kicking aside some of the litter in the galley and making the dreary interior a bit more decent, having the men pass up some spare blankets, %nd spreading them out on deck. Finally Kelly and the negro scrambled up, and between us we succeeded in lifting Lady Darlington and CeleBte over the icy bulwarks. The latter clung sobbing to De Nova, but my lady gassed about her wondeiingly, her eyes full of questions. Without Hpeaking we stowed them away under shelter. "She is certainly a relic," I paused long enough to say, "one of the oldtimers in these Beas. From the look of her she must have been locked up in the ice south there for a century." "Do you expect to sail her northward?" "I hardly know yet what to expect; that remains to be seen. She seems to ride the water stanchly enough and there is fully 30 feet of mast standing yonder. Anyhow, this deck at pres ent Is better than an open boat." "But—but it Is all so ghastly, so ghost-like—Celeste is fairly crazy from the horror." "It is merely the effect of the moonlight glimmering on the ice; everything i3 ice wherever your eyes turn. But you are safe enough here, and with daylight the ghostliness of it will vanish." "Where are you going now?" "To break into the cabin; then we will have a decent place in which to stay—perhaps a chance for a fire. It is not likely to prove a long job, and I will be back to you shortly. Don't let the night shadows frighten you so." She gmlled back into my eyes bravely enough, although I realized the effort of will that it cost; and so I left her endeavoring to cheer the girl, who was sobbing wildly, with her face burled In her hands. The men joined me as I stepped without, crunching the light snow under their heavy boots, and staring uneasily about them as though the whole adventure was a dream. Lord! and no more could I shake off that same Impression as I surveyed the scone aft. A boat, bottom up, the planks smashed beyond repair, lay against the starboard rail. The after-cabin, built like a house, extended the entire width of the deck, a lumping affair, overhung with huge, projecting timbers, topped by ornate carvings, and having two companionways leading up, one of them crushed into splinters. The forward shutters were tightly closed, and the whole front appeared a solid mass of glittering ice, so ob- Bcured by frozen particles of snow as to render any discovery of the door an impossibility. We began hacking at it with our knives, judging the opening would naturally be at the center, but the sheathing of ice proved so thick and solid that we made little Impression. "It will take us a week to cut our way in with these things," I said at last. "De Nova, I think I saw an ax frozen in at the left of the galley. Take a man with you and pry it out." It proved an odd-looking Instrument —a meat-cleaver, I imagine—but was sufficiently strong and heavy. Kelly swung it vigorously, cleaving oft the ice in cakes, until we were finally able to trace the fitting of the door. Suddenly, striking at the upper panel, he dislodged a considerable chunk, thus revealing half a dozen letters painted across the front. Dade pried off a few inches more with his knife-blade, and we stared up Incredulously at the words: Cadi* " H o l y M o t h e r of G o d !

As for myselt at the Instant everything waa chaos. Tuttle was right, then; he had seen all that he said; our voyage had not been causeless, a search after a will-o'-thewisp; the sacrifices, suffering, loss of these past months, were not "all in vain. Out of Antarctic solitudes, released from the merciless grip of the ice by some marvel of deliverance, this treasure galleon of Old Spain, this ancient tomb of dead sailors, had come drifting down to us, a veritable gift of God. The knowledge stunned me; dazed my perceptions. It seemed a miracle. I could only press my hands to my eyes, stare blindly at that inscription, and struggle back to • conception of reality. It was Kelly's wild shout and McKnlght'a blow that aroused me, recalling me as instantly to command. "Stop that!" I shouted, catching the latter roughly by the arm. "We shall need that cabin door. If there indeed be a treasure down below, we can hunt for it like men and not maniacs. McKnlght, if you strike another blow I'll drop you where you stand. Take knives and dig the ice out of the cracks. Get down on your knees at j the bottom, Dade, and don't stand there like a fool. De Nova, see If you can locate the front windows—there must be two of them—and cut the ice away from the shutters." As they labored feverishly, their breath steaming In the frosty air, the moonlight silvering them and gleaming weirdly on the scattered ice-fragments, the haunting mystery of that hermetically sealed cabin brought to me a feeling of unutterable horror. Heaven! how long had it been thus frozen in? What awful tragedy of another century was about to be revealed? What years of loneliness, of darkness, of polar night and cold had this derelict of the grim Antarctic experienced? Where had it been? What of those who had Bailed on board out of Guayaquil that fair June day of 1753, dreaming of the glad welcome awaiting them in sunny Spain? What of the crew, hardy seamen all, blackbearded, the gold loops in their ears? What of the passengers? What of the five women who had walked these decks? Where had they died, and how? (TO BE CONTINUED.) REASON FOR THIS SLANG TERM. Medical Men Say One Really 8ees Blue When Fainting. The use of the word "blue" to denote melancholy or terror, as in the phrases to "feel blue," "blue devils." a "blue funk," and so on, is not entirely figurative, if we are to credit a recent medical writer. The class of phenomena that includes fainting, vertigo, neusea, etc., is controlled by certain brain centers that also bring about a sort of cramp of the external muscles of the eye. The resulting compression of the organ causes objects to look gray or bluish, and ultimately produces apparent darkness. The use of the word, having a physiological basis, is common to many languages. The French say, for Instance, "I see blue." A writer says that the French word eblouissement (giddiness) should be spelled ebleuissement, ar.i has the same origin. The Worst Noises. The shriek of the whistle, the call of the newsboy, the rattle of the milk cart are all "trialsome," as a certain old lady used to say of her children, but perhaps the most unforgivable noise for a sensitive person Is one which recurs at slightly Irregular Intervals and for a long period. The drip of a water pipe, the whine of a dog, the slam of a blind—these are the noises which destroy temper and sleep, even for well women. When one has struggled through a night tortured by such objectionable clamors, one realizes the full meaning of the poet's dream of peace, where "Silence like a poultice comes to heal the blows of sound!"— Youth's Companion.

Editor DISPATCH: In the days of long ago i t was the universal 90aturn for moving vehicles to carry lights a t n i g h t The benefits of this cos turn were so mauy and so obvious that it would be superfluous to enumerate them. This desirable custom never became general in this country, however, though it were well if such had been t h e case. Driving at night t o t h e nervous and timid is indeed a doubtful pleasure. On dark nights and in dark places the vehicle ahead cannot be perceived until near at hand, and a collision very a p t to occur. Every person whose experience embraces any considerable amount of night riding, can recall scores of instances of thrilliug experiences, of hairbreadth escapes and often actual collisions. Lights on moving vehicles at night should have always been the custom, but the increasing number of automobiles now renders them imperative. The man in the dark vehicle can plainly see t h e approaching automobile a long distance away, but the driver in car cannot perceive the unlighted vehicle until he is well nigh upon it, and often nothing b u t a cool head and a quick hand serves to avert a serious collision. Could the placid drivers, calm in their fancied feeling of security, who are passed from time to time by swift moving automobiles, realize how occasionally, aud by what a uarrow margin, they escaped serious mishap, they would be only too glad to join in a demand for a law to compell the driver of every vehicle to provide it with a light and to see that it be lighted when abroad on t h e road while darkness reigns. This matter must appeal to the good sense of every individual. I t is sure to be brought up at Lansing at our next session and will doubtless become a law.

( >>:. His rest shall be glorious."—Isaiah xi, 10. I wonder if, where the soldiers rest, In the last long sleep of all, At the inn which only holds one guest— In that narrow, silent hall— I wonder if they can hear today All the children as they come, And the ringing notes that bugles play And the rolling of the drum. I .wonder if, where they fare afar, They can see the flag that flies With the glory-gleam of the stripe and star A s it flutters in the sKies; If they may not looK bacK to us today While the trumpet calls resound, And the lily white and the rose we lay On the myrtle covered mound. I wonder, too, if they hear us tell In the tones of love and pride, How they lived for us; how they fought ancfc felli How they marched away and died; If they do not gaze with, their happy eyes, And their rest is not more sweet When the mellow songs of the bugle rise And the drums serenely beat. God rest them well! for a country's trust And a country's hope and fame Are shrined for aye in their hallowed dust And surround each soldier's name! God rest them well! If today they come And can see the hearts of us Beat glad in tune with the throbbing drum, Then their rest is glorious. (Copyright, 191a by W. G. Chapman) SOLDIER GOT HIS SHIRT T was just after the battle of Shiloh that William C. Phlpps met the" man who was to live and has lived over since In his memory as "his silent partner," says the Indianapolis Star. Here Is the story as Mr. Phipps tells it: "Somewhere that man la probably living today—he was hale and hearty appearirp. I don't know him and never did know hii name, but I'll bet he is the but man of the community where he lives. I'll bet every person that knows him in bis friend. "You see, it happened like this: After, the flght at Shiioh most of the boys—or a good many of them at least—had lost all they had in the way of equipment, extra clothes and such things. A good many were wounded. I was wearing a bloody, torn shirt and I wanted another— wanted it bad, too. I went out to forage for it. I hadn't left camp very far behind when I saw a fellow chopping on a log—getting firewood, evidently. I started toward him and he kept chopping on. I got closer and finally stopped near him and watched him. Chop-chop—he kept rlgkt on— didn't seem to «ee me. "Then I said to him: 'Partner, look hart; aaa,jn* shirt I'm lookia' for another one. Tou don't know where I could get one, do you?' "He had stopped as I started to 8peak and when I finished he raised his ax 'way up and sans: it Into thf log. He let it stick there, ripped off his coat, threw It down and pealed off his shirt. He tossed it to me and put his coat back on, grabbed his ax and went on chopping. He never opened his mouth—never so much af grunted. "Did I take that shirt? Well, 1 guess I did. That fellow was my srlent partner, and he is, yet. No, 2 never met him again. I looked back as I started for camp and he didn/x seem to hear me when I thanked him. Just kept chopping on that log—chop, chop." The only way to learn to do great thing* is to do small thinga well, pa* tlently, loyally.—David Starr Jordan. • * • • • A •OLDIIR'9 EXMRIENCI.

Ride In Pageant On'a gun carriage drawn by bluejackets the body of King Edward VII. was home to Its last resting place in the tomb house at the Albert Memorial chapel at Windsor. On the way to Paddlngtpn station, whence the funeral train left for Windsor, the body of the king was carried through the streets of the capital in the presence of hundred* of thousands of persons. 1& addition to King George, the king* of eight European nations, several future rulers, members of all the royal families of the world and former President Roosevelt of the United States followed the coffin from Westminster hall to the station. In Pall Mall, St. James street and Hyde Park the immense crowd nearly broke up the procession. The police and soldiers had to fight to prevent the lines being swept away by the crush. There were many broken limbs and other Injuries were received. Hundreds of persons fainted, especially among the women, who had been standing on the pavement for hours before the procession left Westminster hall. The cortege moved through solid double lines of red-coated soldiery standing with rifles reversed and the regimental colors dipped to the ground. At the "railway station the coffin was placed in a funeral ear and taken to Windsor, where, after the Church of England service had been conducted by the archbishop of Canterbury in St. George's chapel, it was entombed in the Albert Memorial chapel adjoining. 15,opo Overcome in Funeral Rush. .

K. are agitating the question of requesting the day and date for Memorial day to be changed to the last Sunday ot May on account of the present day being given up more to sports and gaity than to the real idea of memorial and patriotism. There might also be another reason for the change and that is the weather. It seems as if there is hardly a Memorial Day for the past generation that it has not stormed enough to mar the parade and many time.* stop I parades and decorations or even a visit to the cemeteries.

It very often happens tha,t a person wUl gut mad In arguing a matter or when some one differ* with him. One commits a great miatake when he acU thus. He weakens himself and strengthens his adversary. Anger diminishes the force of an argument As soqn as one gets mad in arguing a point, he should Btop talking or chance his temper. Anger Btanda In the way of truth. It contracts one's view. It 0poll8 knowledge. Real wiadam, according to the Scriptures, la "$rst pure, and then peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated," says Ohio State Journal. There is no room for anger in wisdom, and certainly, when a man is engaged In differing with his neighbor, It Is best to be wise. Men sometimes can't bear to be disputed. As soon as one differs, they summon up their Ire, shake their fists, and rush down on a man like a clatter of tongs. It does no good. It confirms the adversary In his view and the rancor reacts upon those who Indulge In I t Observe when you have had an argument with a man, and got mad, how afterward you regret It; how really It seemed a little devil had Intruded Itself upon your talk and left Its tracks In your heart! And then, what a lack of pleasure there Is In getting mad! The only argument that Is pleasant and effective is that which is pure, peaceable and gentle. HEART FAILURE 8 T A T E FOOD COMMISSIONER 18 VICTIM OF SHORT ILLNESS. ATTACK OF PNEUMONIA, FOLLOWED BY HEART WEAKNESS, T A K E S H I M . Labor Commissioner Fletcher Decides to Investigate Conditions Under Which Messenger Boys Are Working. Ripon, Wisconsin, is rich in historic associations, beginning with the journey through the state in 1673 of Father Marquette and Louis Joliet on their way to the discovery of the Mississippi. The famous Fourier phlanistery experiment of Warren Chase and others took "'lace at Ripon In the '40s. Later the city was associated with the Sherman Booth episode and the organization of the Republican party. Ripon will celebrate Its history with a historical pageant on the 14th of June, and no doubt the occasion will attract throngs of visitors. Death of Arthur C. Bird. Arthur G. Bird, state dairy and food commissioner, who has been very low from an affection of the heart, following an attack of pneumonia, for more than a week, died at his home. Arthur Cranson Bird wats born in Highland, Oakland county, Mich. May 22, 1864, his father being Joseph Johnson Bird, a farmer, and his mother, Elizabeth Cranson Bird. The ancestry was English on both sides. The Bird and Cranson families were in the first company of settlers in Livingston county, Mich., Gardner Bird and Job Cranson being the heads. Mr. Bird was connected with many large and varied interests in the state. He was secretary and treasurer of manufacturers in Lansing. He was a director of the Hammond Publishing Co., was president of the Lansing Manufacturers' association, and a director of the Business Men's association. His Interests In real estate here were large. To Investigate Messenger Boys- State Labor Commissioner Fletcher has ordered that conditions in Detroit and other cities of the state, where messenger boys are employed in carrying messages and running errands for denizens of the tenderloin districts, be thoroughly investigated. To that end he communicated with Deputy Commissioner Charles H. Johnson, Detroit, and instructed the latter to begin a thorough probe of the messenger service in that city. The statement by Commissioner of Immigration Williams that a large number of immigrants bound for Canada have been excluded at Ellis Island, New York, because they were unable to meet the Canadian requirements of the United States, will reas sure nervous patriots who have been imagining that scores of undesirables sneak across the Canadian line Into the United States, and thus circumvent our immigration laws. Insufficient Assessment. Secretary George Lord, of the state tax commission, informed the board of review that unless Traverse City officials get busy and raise Traverse City's assessment to what it should be, the commission will do the work and assess all property at its actual value. It is alleged that the assessment is one of the lowest in the state. The board gave as an excuse that property in townships is assessed far below value and as the city Is compelled to pay 55 per cent of the taxes, an assessment of actual value would make the city pay more than its share. Secretary Lord stated that the local board had a remedy by applying to the township's assessment committee. Sir Ernest Shackleton says that if he had all the money needed to equip an expedition properly, he could guarantee that he would reach the south pole. The veil of awe has been torn away from the poles. Now it is declared that proper equipment is all that Is necessary to take anyone anywhere in the polar regions. This seems to be true; but It nas taken explorers a long time to find out what that equipment is. The supposition is that the German balloon which collapsed or exploded during a storm over the village of Reichensachsen, Germany, and fell to the earth, killing the four occupants of the car, was struck by lightning. This may have been the cause of the disaster, as happenings of that kind must be expected when gasbags contend with storms in the clouds.

The Michigan bulk sales law, which has been sustained by the United States supreme court is of more importance than shown at first reading. It provides that before a merchant sells a stock of goods, except in the ordinary way of trade, he shall Inventory his stock and furnish a list of his creditors a five-day notice by personal service or registered letter that a deal la pending. The intent of the law is to protect creditors against sales which may act as preferences. Hon. W. E.

The pale was formed by the Polish provinces and the Ukraine. The scenes In the Btreets of Kiev were affecting. The evicted ones were veritable paupers, lacking all means of sustenance. For the moment the Jewish families possessing some means were undisturbed. A struggling train of wagons passed out the city gates carrying the miserable household effects of the banished.

New York.—A voluntary wage Increase that will affect approximately 70,000 men has been made by the Standard Oil company. The remarkable increase to workmen, who In the entire history of the concern have never been on strike, ranges from fi to 10 per cent. The order is retroactive and became effective May 1. It Is estimated that the company will add from $6,- 000,000 to 110,000,000 to its annual pay roll expense. The new scale affects employes en- Raged In the company's works and factories, but the office men will not be benefited by this increase. Most of the employes who will get the Increase are laborers, and the advance applies to all the subsidiary companies In the United States. The coal mines of Michigan opened after a shutdown due to a disagreement over the wage scale which went Into effect April 1. A large part of the 3,300 men who quit work took up their tools Monday war, and the senate's action goes far towards establishing as a permanent policy the two-battleship8-a-year program. This is the third year in succession that congress has voted such an increase to the navy. The proposition was carried in the senate by a vote of 39 to 26. The naval appropriation bill carries about $134,000,000. Drydock Dewey Sunk by Blunder. The huge drydock Dewev, which was towed from the United States to Manila In a sensational manner two or three years ago, was Bunk owing to the carelessness of the naval station employes, who are Japanese.

The board of electric light and water commissioners of Marshall announce that it will rearrange the power house and add an additional water wheel so that about 600 horse rower can be developed, instead of the 300 horse power, as at present. This will cost, about $5,000, all of which will be paid for out of the surplus on hand. There is also a plan on foot to have the city purchase the Rice Creek water power with which to furnish power to the city water works pnmping station. A district cannot issue bonds in excess of 5 per cent of the total assessed valuation of the district, and in a district in which there are 100 or more children in the school census the bonded indebtedness shall not ex ceed $75 per capita of such census Such is the law as amended by Act 4717 or 1887.

The. story opens with the Introduction ef^Jobn Stephens, adventurer, a Maaaa- ^ husetts man marooned by authorities at ralparaiao, Chile. Being Interested in mining operations in Bolivia, he was denounced by Chile as an Insurrectionist and aa a consequence was hiding. At his hotel his attention was attracted by an Englishman and a young woman. !Stephens rescued the young woman from S drunken officer. He was thanked by er. Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told htm 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. ,- Stephens accepted the commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which he ' Was assigned. He gave them final ih- , structiona. They boarded the vessel. They » successfully captured the vessel supposed ' t o be the Esmeralda, through strategy. i Capt. Stephen:* gave directions for the departure of the craft. He entered the cabin and discovered the English woman and her maid. Stephens quickly learned the wrong vessel had been captured. It was Lord Darlington's private yacht, the lord'B wife and maid being aboard. > He explained the situation to her ladyship. Then First Mate Tuttle laid bare the plot, saying that the Sea Queen had been taken in order to go to the Antarctic circle. Tuttle explained that on a former voyage he had learned that the Donna Isabel was lost in 1753. He had found it frozen In a hOge case of ice on an island and contained much gold. Stephens consented to be the captain of the expedition. He told l,ady Darlington. She was greatly alarmed, but expressed confidence in him. The Sea Queen encountered a vessel in the fog. Stephens attempted to communicate. This caused a tierce struggle and he was overcome, Tuttle finally squaring the situation. Then the Sea Queen headed south again. Under Tuttle's guidance the vessel made progress toward Ita goal. De Nova, the mate, told Stephens that he believed Tuttle. now acting as skipper, insane because of his queer actions. Stephens was awakened by crashing of glass. He saw Tuttle in the grip of a spasm of religious mania and uvercum? him. The sailor upon regaining his senses was taken ill. Tuttle commuted suicide by shooting. Upon vote of the crew Stephens assumed tlie leadership and the men decided to continue the treasure hunt, the Islands being supposed to be only 200 miles distant. Tuttle was burled In the sea, Lady Darlington pronouncing the service. . Stephens awaking from sleep »aw i h e ghost, supposed to have formed thfr basis for Tuttle's religious mania. Upon advice of Lady Darlington, Stephens started to probe the ghost. He came upon Lieut. Sanchez, the drunken officer he had humbled in Chile. He found that at Sanchez' Inspiration, Engineer MeKntght played "ghost" to scare the men into giving up the quest. Stephens announced that the Sea Queen was at the spot whore Tuttle's quest was supposed to be. The crew was anxious to go on In further search. De Nova and Stephens conquered them In a fist fight. Lady Darlington thanked him. The Sea Queen started northward. She was wrecked in a fog. Stephens. De Nova, Lady Darlington and her ma'd being among those to set out In a life boat. Ten were rescued. Stephens saw only one chance in a thousand for life. Lady Darlington confessed her love to Stephens and he did likewise. Lady Darlington told her life story; how She had been bartered for a title, her yearning for absent love. She revealed herself as the school chum of Stephens sister. She expressed a wish to die in the sen rather than face her former friends and go back to the old life. A ship was sighted. The craft proved to be a derelict. They boarded hrr. She was frnxen tight with hundreds of years of ice. The vessel was the Donna Isabel, lost in 1753, 126 years previous. — CHAPTER XXIII.—Continued. I clenched my hands, my nerves throbbing, tramping from rail to rati in excitement as the men hacked, yet I was first to grasp the exposed latch, and force the released wood backward in its groves. Through the nar how opening thus attained there came whistling a blast so frigid as to drive us headlong back, gasping for breath. Cold aa it was without there on the open deck, that cabin revealed a temperature so awful in intensity as to make us recoil before It, our hands to our faces. A hundred years of winter— the black eternal winter of the south pole—Bmote us wttlflcy breath, seeming fairly to sear the flesh with its frozen touch. Dade dropped under it, and we dragged him aside, sobbing like a baby. It was several minutes before we could even draw near enough to hack away more of the ice and, with the ax. drive the ddof farther back into its grooves. It was intensely dark within, every window and porthole shrouded, only the narrow door-opening permitting the slight glimmer of the moon to touch the edge of the black interior. I wrapped my muffler to the very eyes, and stepped across the threshold, feeling as if the icy air grasped me with actual fingers, yet resolute to leaia all, and confident no other there would ever venture It. i touched an overturned bench with my knee; my fingers explored the back of a feefieTy In Which, ^ Explore the Cabin. fce Nova assisted me to my feet, the other men crowding about, their faces Oiled with wonderment. "For God's sake, w'at Is it, monsieur?" "There are dead men in there," I explained, already ashamed of my display of terror. "I—I touched one in the dark," They drew back from the open door, gazing with new horror into the blackness of the interior; but my own courage was rapidly returning, as I realized that I must lead and control. "Well, lads, it startled me, all right, but we cannot afford to give up this ship to dead men. De Nova, take Kelly with you, and try to discover something on board with which to make a flare. There ought to be plenty of dry stuff in the galley. Not a word to the women, about what I found aft." The rest of us hacked away, while ttrey were gone, at the ice concealing the front window Bhutters, and partly uucovered one. But we could get no purchase upon it from the outside and no one volunteered to venture within. I kept them all busy, however, the hard work and sense of command combining to restore my own nerves to a norma] condition. The mate despairing of doing better, finally brought back a table-leg of pitch pine which we contrive*! to ignite after several unsuccessful experiments, the Nothing Except the Remembrance of the Women Afforded Me Strength and Courage to Remain. yellowish-red flames circling the heavy end like so many colling serpents, and sending forth a weird reflection through spirals of black smoke. It was a poor glim enough, yet it would serve; and I bore It inside, holding the torch well before me, the men clustering about the door. The mottled flare cast mingled light and shadow over the horrors thus dimly revealed, rendering the ghastly sight one to chill the blood of any man. The cabin was a long one, extending aft clear to the stern, the Immense butt, of the mizzen-mast almost separating it into two apartments. About this was arranged a great arm-rack completely filled with a variety of weapons, many of them flashing back the glittering rays of the torch. At one time that had been a rare sea-parlor, but. now it was a wreck, the walls and ceiling dingy with smoke, the gilt defaced and battered. Overturned furniture was everywhere; piles of clothing, and a perfect riffraff of articles strewed the deck floor; a violin lay almost, at my feet, all but one string snapped; and some sort of an odd music-box rested against the bench over which I had fallen. A great square box-stove stood just before the mast-butt, a huge pile of ashes all about. An immense lantern, as strange a looking contrivance as ever I saw, swung solemnly from a deck-beam, and just beyond, suspended by wires, was a gorgeously colored picture of the "Madonna and Child." I beheld all these details at a glance, although at the time T scarcely realized any of them, my entire horrified attention being riveted upon the scene of death revealed. The table, which I had previously touched, extending erosswayR of the cabin, was uncovered but contained plates, cups, a large bottle half-filled, and some scraps of frozen food. The bodies of two «ien, one with a cloak over his shoulders, occupied the bench within three feat of me. The one nearest had fallen sideways, and hung there, his arm ' hooked across the back of the bench, his long, black hair dandling over his face; the other sat with head bowed on the table, his features bidden by his arms, but the gold rings in his ears plainly showing. Directly ^opposite these two, sitting bolt upright in a chair, eyes wide open, staring straight at me, was a third. My God! it was De Nova! The same eyes, the same dark curly hair, the same little black mustache, the same smile curling the thin lips. I could have sworn it was the mate, endeavoring to frighten and mock me. I even wheeled about angrily, flashing the light of my torch over that cluster of faces In the doorway. No! by heavens, the creole stood behind, and this, this counterpart, was a dead man—dead for a hundred years. No words can ever retell the struggle 1 made to control myself, the smoking torch shaking in my hand and casting its miserable flicker over that cbarnel house, every limb trembling like aspens, my eyes staring Into the shadows. My very violence of fear angered me; what had I to be afraid of? How could these poor frozen bodies Injure me? Nerved to the endeavor I stepped forward around the end of the table, throwing the faint glare of the torch iuto the after space concealed by the huge nasi-butt. A tall, thin man sat on the deck, braced against the wall, his long, gray beard almost concealing his face: on a wide divan, nearly opposite, lay a woman, her dark hair loosened, a large diamond glittering on the hand which hung rigid over the edge of the couch. Just below her fingers, ae if dropped there in final weakness, lay a baby's well-worn shoe. I scarcely comprehend how I ever conquered the sickly horror that smote me as I gazed about upon this scene of death, rendered even more terrible by the silence and the flickering, smoking torch that furnished the only light. Nothing except the sense of command, the remembrance of those women waiting outside in the cook's galley, ever afforded me strength and courage to remain. The task must be done; by some one it must be accomplished, and that some one, of necessity, was myself. With clenched teeth, mv face as white as those of the frozen cer.d about me, I advanced from door to door down one side of that cabin, und up the other. Out from the staterooms that had remained closed there came the same awful breath of the 1 rigid south, rendering even the icy air of the main cabin ten times colder, and causing me to breathe wilh difficulty as I peered hastily within. These staterooms were all of fair size, the two situated farthest aft Loins unusually large and comfortably fitted, although in great disorder. In one only did I discover a body, that of a child of three or four years, flaxen- haired and bonny even in death. Upon the deck at the foot of the mast 1 discovered the vessel's log-book lying wide open, a quill pen beside It, exactly as it had been dropped. I did not take time to decipher the Spanish, inscribed in a scrawling hand, but my glance caught the date of that last entry—"September 11, 1753." The date rang in my head crazily, as I stood there staring at them, totally unable to grasp or apprehend the truth. One hundred and twenty-six years!—Merciful God! And all that time those men had been there at that table; all through those days and nights, those months and years, that frozen image of De Nova had been smiling, his cold fingers clutching the glass; all through those decades that woman had been lying on the couch, that flaxen-haired baby in the bunk! Thete, exactly as we found them, durinr a century of inky blackness, tos^t.d about by the sea, cradled in the pitiless ice, smitten by the awful breath of eternal Winter, those bodies had remained rigid, motionless, even as the souls left them, for 126 years! It was unthinkable, inconceivable, miraculous, beyond all my power of apprehension. Blessed Mary! what changes the world had witnessed since these died! What wonders of discovery; what growth in faith; what widening of human knowledge; what generations of men and women had been born, lived, loved, and died since the deadly ice locked these into tftis floating tomb! Not until after I had explored the last empty room and returned to the group at the door did I regain my senses and feel myself again a living, responsible being upon whose strength of will depended the future of all on board. A glance into those horrUied faces told me instantly that they were ready for a mad retreat to the boat; thf.t the slightest exhibition of weakness on my part would set them into a panic. 1 stiffened into resistance, all memory of the past blotted out utterly by the demands of the present. "Men. we've come into a hard job here, but it is one which must be attended to," I said, gravely. "However, we'll watt until after breakfast before tackling the worst of it. Day is beginning now. and we will need all the light it. gives w. Dade, get out some provisions from the beat, start a fire In the galley, and prepare a hot. meal. Sanchez, go along and help; you will probably have to cut away some ice before the fire will draw. Not a word to the women about what you have seen aft, my lads." — — — — — W W — I I I I I — — — — » P » ^ — — • — The two started forward willingly enough, and I vtmmedlateiy turned? to the others, marking- their uneasy glances, and fully assured that I must keej them pise buatfy employed, or else lose centre! altogether, s "We have too much to accomplish here to waste any time while those fellows are getting a meal ready," I continued, quickly. "McKnight, you tackle these front shutters. Kelly, climb up on the poop and dig the ice off the skylight and out of the runnel. We've got to have daylight and a fire. Now, De Nova, I want you and Johnson to help me. Gome on, men; what are you two afraid of? These are all dead." I fairly drove them to it, hut It did them both good, although the manner in which they advanced down the cabin, their faces blanched under the torch glare, their bodies shaking aa with ague, made me nervous and irritable. I put them at the after-ports, Johnson with the cleaver, and De Nova with his sheath-knife, and between the three of us we finally succeeded in wrenching both stern-ports free of their icy fetters. As we burst them open, through the wide apertures we looked forth Into the gray dreariness of the dawn. Satisfied with what had thus been accomplished, we retraced our steps back through the cabin, observing that Kelly had made some progress above, the faint daylight already beginning to tinge that grim interior.

" A young society matron who gives one day a week to philanthropic work undertook a class for training mothers under my direction. In reality It was a class in cooking, for the young matron is an enthusiast upon proper combinations of wholesome food. The women came and listened, and then I suggested that the homes should be visited to see what had been accomplished. One day she called upon one of her class in the earl/ morning. The woman was frying cakes in deep fat. "Oh, dear," said the young matron, "why don't you cook oatmeal for the children, as I showed you? Yon know the ~akes are not good for you." "No'm," cheerfully agreed the woman, as she flapped the cakes upon a platter. "I know, I know. But I don't like what's good for me. I likes what I like." And the society matron has started a sewing class.—New York Times. Pat Broke the News. Pat had been delegated by his follow employes to tell Mrs. Casey the news of her husband's accidental death. On the way to the Casey home, Pat pondered on how to break the news to the widow. Finally he hit on what to him seemed a most humane way of preparing Mrs. Casey for the sad news. Knowing the violent hatred which Mrs. Casey as well as all loyal Irishmen have for the A. P. A., he said on greeting the woman: "Ah, Mrs. Casey, it is bad news I have to bring you. Your husband, Mike, has turned an A. P. A." "Mike turned A. P. A.! The scoundrel, I hope he is dead." "He is," answered Pat.—Milwaukee Free Press. Where Friendship Ceased.

"White examined it critcally, and then put it down, with the remark that she must be very rich.

S o m e F a c t s o f W h i c h t h * Liquor IntertJbta o f Michigan are. not boasting* There has been more than a little jubilation in saloon circles in Michigan and among thoae interebted in the advancement of the liquor traffic over the defeat of local option in Wexford county at the April election. It is not probable, however, that the Wexford county incident will be boasted of to any certain extent by the friends of the saloon when the facts relating to the election in this county are all known. It was declared by the friends of local option in Wexford county that the results of that system were successful and satisfactory in Cadillac and throughout the county. And this declaration was true. Scores of business meu who were opposed to the law when it was enacted found the results helpful to all legimate business. Employers who had boeu iudifferent to its adoption became the most active friends in the effort to keep the saloous out of the county. Eighty more votes were cast for local option iu the city of Cadillac at the eud of the two years experience in that city than when the law was first voted on, and the vote in favor of local option was greater in the county as a whole than when it was first submitted. The very fact that local option had been successful in Wexford county and that in all moral and material directions it had accomplished more than its strongest friends expected caused the saloon interest of the state to plan and work for the defeat of local option here through any means and without regard to cost. Four hundred more votes were cast in the city of Cadillac in the recent election than were cast two years ago, although it had been It would be almost impossible to | p r o c l a i m e d throughout the state discover one lower down than , b y t b e 8 a l o o u i n t e r e 8 t g t h a t C a d u . lac had decreased in population since the adoption of local option, that there were about 80 empty dwellings here and that workingmen had been forced to leave the city because of decreasing demands for labor. These statements were all false but attention is here called to them because of the fact that the saloou interests now seek to have it believed that four hundrel new voters have been added to the city within two years. Nearly all of this unexpected increase in votes were cast in two wards of the city. It ia known to be true that many of them were not legal residents of Cadillac; they had been brought here for the purpose of votiug for the return of the saloons. They had not; lived in this city, they knew nothing as to the results of local option here and they cared nothing as to such results. Wexford county has returned to the saloou column through hundreds of votes provided by a very large expenditure of money, and not because of any change of sentiment on the part of the people of this county as to the dirability of the saloons. When it became kaown that the saloons were coming back there was almost the mourning that comes with death in a number of Cadillac homes. The ocenpaats of these homes well know from bitter past experience by whom the saloons will be supported and they know of the privation and misery the saloon demands will involve for them. More arrests for drunkenness were made in Cadillac within four A Woman's Great Idea ib how to make herself attractive. But, without health it is hard for her to be lovely in face, form or tempar.

The saloons will be a dead weight on the city and they will bring dissipation to many men here who duriug the past two y e a n had returned to lives of sobriety and useful 1 net* ^ 4 And this is the incident over which the saloon circles of Michigan are jubilating.

"Oh, husband!" exclaimed tbe wife. **Wby then go to the palace? Stay at borne today." "Do, papa," pleaded bis little daughter. "That would not avail. Fate does not relinquish ber designs against us because we change our usual course. We cannot hide from her." Wife and child both clung to blm. Only a sense of duty and a manliness that refused to flee from what he tried to call a superstition enabled this husband and father to tear himself away from those he adored and leave them trembling and with tears In their eyes to listen all day for the distant bomb they dreaded. There Is another side to this story. What Count Rumsdorf considered superstition was what we in America call a presentiment. There are people who deny that any coming event will cast its shadow before. There has been an age of dreams and forecasts, and there has been an age of doubt in such claim. Now we have societies of psychical research that are studying them scientifically. Two attempts to assassinate Count Rumsdorf h:ul failed. Once conspirators had lain \u wait for him when he was expected to drive over a bridge across the Neva. On that occasion he was detained at home with a cold. Again, when he was expected to go to Berlin on behalf of bis sovereign for a conference with the emperor of Germany they had mined the track. But the trip bad been abandoned. A third attempt had been arranged for this day with so much forethought and provision for unforeseen obstacles that it seemed to thosw who planned it nothing could save the man they plotted against. Indeed, one ef them said. "If the minister escapes us this time we shall consider that bis guardian angel protects him and he is proof against our attempts." But there is a saying, "The third time is the charm," and if Count Rumsdorf had known of tbe preparations made to kill him he would have had not only a presentiment, but would have considered that by going over bis expected route he would be lost. The intention was to shoot him as he drove from the palace to his home, which he always did at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Two men armed with revolvers of a heavy caliber were to flre at him from a first floor window of a house located in a street through which he usually passed. Two others similarly armed were to fire at him from a window opposite, a trifle farther on. The last two were intended to finish the job ID case the first two missed. A fifth man was stationed in the street who was to signal the approach of the intended victim. None of the men who were to fire at the count wertv to show themselves till they received a signal from the man in the street that his carriage was near them. The street was narrow, and he would be obliged to pass within half a dozen yards of either of the windows where lurked firing parties. Their keeping back out of sight precluded the possibility of their intention being suspected and a warning being given the minister. The man in the street would signal the exact moment when they were to make ready, and on hearing the rumble of a carriage they would go to the window and fire at the occupant. If any mishap prevented the first two from doing the work the second two were in reserve for its accomplishment At half past 3 in the afternoon the two firing parties stationed themselves at their respective windows. The signaler walked about till he should see the count's carriage coming. This was that he should not attract attention by remaining at the exact spot where the conspirators were to look for his signal, which was to be the waving of his handkerchief. The day was cold and blustery. Four o'clock came, but not the count The signaler was on watch every instant. At fifteen minutes past 4 he experienced a symptom of catching cold. He sneezed violently. Taking out his handkerchief, the strong wind blew it from his finders, und It went sailing down the street Its owner ran after it. At that moment the count's carriage turned a corner not a block away. The signaler ran back to his post and endeavored *o giva the signal without the handkerchief—that is, by frantic gesticulation. The men in the first window, think* lng that he meant to warn them against an impending danger—that some one had peached and the police were coming to arrest them—scurried out of the house by the back door. The men In the second window,, seeing their flight, ftfoo rnn a way. Only the sneezing signaler stood bis ground. At bah? past 4 tbe count drove up to bis house and. alighting, waa clasped In the arraa of bis wife and daughter. "Never again," said the count, "shall I place auy faith In my feelings that some danger bangs over me." Tbe next morning, however, be waa handed a note. It read: You are protected by your angel Threetime* w« have tried to kill you and throe times have faiied. This afternoon we ware to have received a signal when you paasad ua—the wave of a handkerchief. To«rr angel made our signaler ancese. He took out hla handkerchief to signal ua, and the wind blew It away We shall not try again. Leisure Moure, D T JoLnaoD bad sen nt sympathy wttb Inconsistent and arrogant industry.

Beat out the meat shortage by raising vegetables. Root out the early radish and plant peaa. Keep the ground wdrWnf. Again we say, drain the garden. Wet kills more gardens than drought Plant tomatoes now In the garden to etipplenient those set out earlier. Glover or rape pasture iB cheaper than mill or ground teed and should be used freely. The principal difficulty with the average manure spreader is that it is not used enough. It's an' old and true saying: "If you plant scabby potatoes, you'll raise scabby potatoes." If you don't see your garden every day. you'll be surprised how fast the weds have grown. Even the gasoline engine, indispensable as It is, cannot entirely supplant the horse on the farm. Don't plant the cucumbers too close to the other vegetables; also don't plant them too near corn. Raising blue grass seed requires expert work but that It pays the net profit of from $200 to $350 per acre has been demonstrated by a Kansas farmer. Corn that is housed in the silo Is harvested when the feeding qualities are at their height. Not only the ears but the whole plant goes to nourish the stock upon the farm. Straighten up the place these bright sunny days. The boards and boxes that you have thrown just outside the barn or woodhouse door can be picked up easier now than later.

This pest was not introduced Into America until 1876, when it appeared in New Jersey about the roots of grass growing on sand dunes. In 1886 it was found in Maryland and three years later made its appearance in Washington, D: C, being found thereon both red and white clover on the Curcullo. White House lot. The species gradually moved westward until last year some were found in an alialia Held near Pullman, Wash. This record of its distribution throughout our country would seem Work of the Clover-Root Curcullo. to show that it may become destructive in the United States. DEVICE FOR HOLDING REINS Wisconsin Gardener Works Out Little Arrangement Whereby Lines Are Kept Securely. A New Capplng-Meltor. honey a day, getting from that amount about 2<Hba. of wax. I have been making these different me Iters all on the same principle/ The last one works perfectly, writes William E. Greene of Imperial, Cal., in Gleaninga of Bee Culture. The construction Is shown In the drawing. There is, first, a galvanized iron pan two inches deep, with a corrugated bottom, the corrugations running crosswise. This is 28 Inches long and 18 Inches ^?lde, and tapers down to six inches at the end where the honey and wax flow out. At one corner, as shown, the construction permits of heating the knives in the water of the tank below. The tank holding the water Is one inch deep at one end and one half inch at the other end. This makes a very small amount of water to heat. Under the water tank is soldered a false bottom, forming the hot-air oven, which confines practically all of the radiating heat from the gasoline burner. This false bottom is shown on a small scale under the main drawing. The large hole in the center allows the heat to spread over the entire bottom of the water-tank. The air-space is about three-fourths inch, and there are braces to hold the water tank from sagging down on to the false bottom. I And that one burner of a gasoline stove turned as low as it will run, is sufficient to take care of all the cappings which one can remove in a day I let the honey and wax run off together, and after the wax hardens I remove it. Later I put it through a press and separate what little slumgum it contains. The water can be brought to a boil In about 20 minutes. The only opening to the water tank is at the right hand corner, where the 4x4-inch space is left for the knives. Value of the Mutkrat. On account of the Increasing scarcity of fur-bearing animals considerable interest is being manifested in the muskrat. Doth the fur and the meat are staple articles in some of the markets of the east and middle west during the winter months. The furs are used largely by fur dressers and dyers, and are made to closely imitate the more costly furs, thus creating a continuous demand for the pelts. Owners of marsh lands have already made the trapping of muskrats profitable, converting otherwise useless lands into income producing Investments. Many lease the trapping privileges to those who make a business of trapping. Farmers' bulletin No. 396, "The Muskrat," gives a description of its general habits, methods of trapping and the value of its fur and flesh. It will be sent free by senators, members of congress and the secretary of agriculture, Washington, D. C. Conserve the Moisture. Conserve the moisture in both meadow and pasture. How?

Forty degrees of new-bora Hall tor the comet and a doubling of «t* luminosity, <s*lng to naming hydfocarbon gas, wts^te-ported by the astronomers at WtWaJfce Bay observatory, after the spectrographlc negatives had been developed- Prof. E. B. Frost, director of the observatory, annouucedl the results of the computations. "Fbur of us, after independent calculations, agree that the new tall of the comet is 40 degrees long," he said. "The tail was visible long after the comet had set. The eclipse of the moon helped greatly in the observations. Observations by the hand spectroscope showed carbon baqdj in the head of the comet. These were confirmed by the developD^nt of the negatives made with the 12-inch telescope. The internal activity of the comet is in full blast. It is making gas at a terrific rate." Prof. Frost said he did not expect to see the old tail in the east. "The old tail must disappear." he added. "When detached from its source It can only condense or fade away, as the end of an active tail always does." Fine weather for observing prevailed throughout the most of the night at Williams Bay, although it was cloudy and rainy over Chicago. During the total eclipse, the moon presented the appearance of a dull reddish disc. This, according to Prof. E. E. Barnard, of Yerkes observatory, was due to the red rays of the solar spectrum, which had the property of bending inward. NEWS TOLD IN BRIEF. It is officially announced that the Canadian Northern railway has obtained 150,000,000 in British money markets for development purposes. Rev. Alexander Fraser Munro, known in this country and in England as the "preaching printer," whose work in the interest of workingmen, temperance and Sabbath observance was praised by Queen Victoria, is dead at his home in Brooklyn. Hereafter telegraph operators who served in the Federal army during the Civil war will not be buried in the National cemeteries, an order to that effect having been Issued by the war department. The ruling is based on the fact that these men were not enlisted soldiers but employes of the quartermaster's department. Wrm. Rankin, of Summit, N. J., who will be 100 years old in a few weeks, asserts that he is the oldest college alumnus in the United States. He was graduated from Williams college in the class of 1831. Rankin for many years was a lawyer in Cincinnati and for 30 years was treasurer of the Presbyterian board of foreign missions. The total catch of fur seals by the natives in the open sea off the Alaska coast this season will not be more than 125 pelts. In former years the Indians have always made good catches, Japanese sealers using muffled power boats are expected to reap a fat harvest. Eight of these vessels are now following the seal herds north to the rookeries. "Wild cat evangelism" was denounced at the closing session of the fiftieth general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church at Lewisburg, W. Va., by Dr. Charles R. Nisbet, of Nashville, chairman of the assembly's committee on evangelization. "What is needed." said he, "is a sane evangelism. There is a great deal of evangelism today that is answerable to no church. It is a wild cat evangelism. It is doing more to prejudice this arm of the service than any two things at work in this land." THE MARKETS Farming Not a Lottery. Most farmers claim that their business is only a game of chance, and that the application of business methods would not increase the chance of raising a good crop, or of making their farm more profitable. This is a I mistaken idea, and In answer I would point out successful farmers who were ones successful business men, and who are now making farming a business by applying their ability and methods to It, says a writer in Baltimore American. They aay that it is no more a game of chance than the other various occupations. They apply a good system of bookkeeping and know which department of the farm is, and which Is not, paying. Live 8eeds. Are you sure the seed you plant, and sow has in it the life germ unimpaired? Planting and sowing dead or half-dead seeds costs the farms of this country millions on millions of dollars. Always put a sample of your seed in warm, moist soil and see if it has the vitality needed. This will save you disappointment and dollars at no cost.

ALU + 4 T" Foulard Silks Probably On* of the Beet Purchases That Can Be Mada—-Practicable Costume #OJ» Every Day Wear. Tbe first of May seta the pace for the reduction of all summer materials, for by this time those who follow the fashions to the letter are provided with the season's costumes. The reduced materials are then for the late buyer, she who was frightened at the first ofUhe^eajjon by tbe high prices, or for PWWU iPtou-dtsco^CT, for some reason or other, that they need extra gowns. These ladles will do well to consider the foulard silks, for all of these are at least one-third cheaper than with the beginning of spring, and sandwiched In with the better qualities there are weaves displayed as "special," which is to say, the silks go verfly for a song. The striped serges that are so much employed for the coat suits that are useful all during the summer—especially at out-of-town resorts—are often reduced to one-half their former prices. The hip length coat, or RUBslan blouse model, is much used for these practicable and stylish textures, the gowns needing only a touch of braid or satin coat-edge for completion. For little one-piece frocks, which will be worn for any and every occasion, thtfre are veilings of cotton and silk so pretty, airy and stylish that there seems no excuse for the woman who can sew not to be well dressed this summer, for such materials often go for -39 cents the yaid, and tucking, or the least ribbon banding, gives them a luxurious stamp. _ Lastly there is the shirt waist skirt, a thing of such vital importance that it would be impossible to discuss summer fashions or materials without considering It. The models for Buch skirts are short and plaited and many show a cutting up of the material in the way of panels that seems almost patchy. Nevertheless the general effect Is always good—for Dame Fashion always seems wiser than you feel yourself to be—and, compared with other seasons, such skirts take little material The evening phase of a smart gown 1 have shown before and here are pictured the guimpe and under sleeves which make the style practicable for day wear. The skirt and bodice foundation are of plain colored messallne and the overdress, which Is in one piece, Is of all-over figured net, with a band in wool embroidery. As to this decoration, it is made by a net fr indatlon~ rbfg. holes through which is drawn a triple zephyr in oblong rings and knots, the effect of the simple garniture, which is hand made, being decorative in the extreme. "' If the skirt of this dress were made walking length the model would do for |ny day service, but hetre the long fall of the skirt suggests the smartest afternoon use. For the foundation a messallne at NEW SUMMER MODEL This model la of white lace, re-embroldered with gold. It la made In the latest style with crossed fronts and little basque. The round, slightly low neck Is finished with a ruffle of white silk cause, of which the sleeve puffs are also made. The girdle Is of light blue liberty. 60 cents the yard would be perfectly adequate for a good effect and the extra money could be put in the veiling or chiffon which might be used for the overdress if the net is not liked, for the quality of the tunic would show much more than that of the underslip. If madam or miss is very handy with the needle, too, and doesn't mind turning out a frock that couldn't be washed, a short skirt might be made of solid colored organdy and the tunic of figured, through this airy fancy would need a complete underslip in the prevailing color. UL&^rLS I TO MARK THE TABLECLOTH Want of care does us more damage than wUtTof tao*le<rif*~FYsJiUtav^ Proper Method of Placing Monogram or Letters So That They Are Sure to Last. In marking tablecloths a square cloth should have the monogram or letters In two corners, placed diagonally opposite one another. They should lie upon the table about a foot from the edge. The height of such letters is more or less a matter of individual preference. Those ranging from three to six Inches are used. For a round table the monogram or Initials are usually embroidered on both sides of the center, so that they rest on the cloth between the plates of host and hostess and the centerpiece If you hare not had much experience in embroidering letters, do not attempt them on a tablecloth until you have worked napkins and towels Marking of tablecloths must be well padded and firm so that It stands out wejl whan laundered. The cotton used should be Dne and lustrous and the stftcbery must be exffftsltely fine and smooth. Be sure that the padding is smooth and inn or your satin stKch covering will not look well. While plain satin stitch letters are most often seen, many of the new monograms show seeding or openwork effects in combination with the over and over stitch.

Londou la a friendless city enough, heaven knows, to those who are not able to conquer, but she seams to me mild, benignant even, In comparison with New York. The face of the Londoner is very ofteu overcast with the thought of how to get a living In the keen competition of the people In that mighty capital, but the London face is tranquillity embodied in comparison with the fuce of the typical New Yorker. Keen, hatchet shaped, anx lous. absorbed—such is the face yif.i see everywhere around you And this keenness of face is accompanied by ;» terrible spirit of self absorption.

He had scarcely partaken of a mouthful when apparently some inopportune thought or recoilec tlon stung his brain to madness, and. receding from the table without rising flom his chair—his small stature permitted that—he uplifted his foot—dash went the table, crash went the dinner, and the emperor sprang up, intending to pace the room. Quick as a flash his waiter scratched a few magic symbols on a bit of paper, and the emperor's check had grown more than double. Napoleon appreciated the delicacy of bis attendant and said, '"Thank you. my dear Dunand," with one of his inimitable smiles. The hurricane had blown over. ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

PINCKNBT. - - * HJCH|GAN II . ^ ADVANTAGES OP WINTER. t * * An old-fashioned winter has its advantages and disadvantage*. II these were to be enumerated in parallel col* man* It la probable that the advantage* would lead by a large majority. In a winter like the paat one the ground Is usually frozen to the depth of. a few Inches in November and thereafter the snowfall keeps a blanket over the earth which prevents the" frost from creeping downward Inch by inch until It reaches a depth of four or five feet It keeps all plant life at the surface of the soil in a perfectly dormant state, but does not completely suspend the function of deep lying roots. A continual covering of Ice and snow In the cities keeps the litter and filth of the street from being dried and finely powdered and carried about by every passing breeze. This Is one of the most common sources of colds, influenza, grip, infections of the nose, and its labyrinthine sinuses and the throat, middle ear and respiratory passages In general. Such affections have been less general this year than in several preceding seasons. Steady cold, although very trying to the old and to people of subnormal vital energies, is in reality much better than alternating warm Bpells and sero pinches, for the latter conditions invite indiscretions in dress. At this season of the year householders' thoughts turn naturally to lawns and back yards, and there is a general desire to have clean and ornamental surroundings. Unfortunately, in many instances the desire is not strong enough to produce results. A man who beautifies his front lawn is a public benefactor. He no doubt gets some satisfaction out of his effort and expense, but every passer enjoys the result of his effort, and the whole neighborhood is benefited. When the effort extends to the back yard the number of Individuals benefited is not so great, but perhaps the enjoyment by the smaller number Is more intense. No one enjoys a dirty back yard, and every person who sees one from a window forms an unfavorable opinion of the householder who permits an unsightly accumulation of misplaced matter in his environment.

Otto Kirchner, vice chairman of the local committee, presided over the exercises, which were opened with an invocation by Rt. Rev. John S. Foley, ward bearing In his arms a number of laurel wreaths, and as he laid them at the base of the monument, a chorus of 75 voices sang "The Old Brigade." The ceremonies came to an end with a benediction pronounced by Rt. Rev. Charles D. Williams, bishop of Michigan. The Custer monument stands in the public square of Monroe, close to the Presbyterian church, in which the general was married. It cost $25,000, and was paid for by the state. The statue Itself is of bronze, and represents the general In his well known uniform, slouch hat in hand and sharply reining in the handsome horse on which he is mounted. The massive base is of gray granite, and rests on a concrete foundation that extends down to a bed of rock, some 12 feet below the surface. Credit for the erection of this fine monument is largely due to Charles E. Greening, secretary of the Michigan Custer Memorial association, and one of the leading citizens of Monroe.

Alden Smith, Orator of ties Day, Eulogizes Michigan's Greatest War Hero. - A great epoch In the history of Monroe took date June 4th, 1910, when the beautiful statue erected to the memory of the gallant General George A. Custer, was unveiled by the widow who has mourned the loss of her beloved and brave husband many years. Custer, the true soldier whose life went out In a desperate battle with the fierce Indians on the frontier was a worthy citizen of the republic, a loved neighbor and friend, an ideal man, of whom Monroe was justly proud,and to whom the state has paid a tardy and well earned honor. There were present Taft, president of the United States. Michigan's two senators, Burrows and Smith, with other distinguished men and some notable addresses were delivered. The grey veterans who had served with and under Custer were like a page of past history filled with heroic deeds and illuminated with a record of brave gallantry rarely equaled. Mrs. Elizabeth B. Custer, widow of the gallant fighter, dominated the day's ceremonies, for, though she never uttered a public word, her moment came when, with trembling hands, she grasped the long yellow satin ribbon, typical of the cavalry arm of the service, and broke apart the two American flags which concealed the figure of her loved one seated on his charger. A smile played over her face, and after a full loqik she nodded in appreciation. Then she turned to receive the congratulations of President Taft, who stood just behind her; the cannon begku to boom their salutes and the bkdd struck up "The Star Spangled Banner" as every one arose and cheered. To the tribute of the state, President William H. Taft added the homage of the nation, holding up Custer not only as a great cavalry leader of the rebellion, but as one who, at the close of the civil war, spent years on the plain's and made possible the settlement of that vast country and the building of the trans-continental railroads. - Senator Wnr. Alden Smith, in his eulogy of General Custer, paid a glowing tribute to his many heroic deeds. Scene a Brilliant One. The scene will linger long In the memory of those who witnessed it. Nature had contributed her full share to the day's enjoyment, for the air was fresh and balmy. Around the statue were massed the elements in which might be read the history of the army. There were the old boys, the veterans of southern battlefields and of the plains, proudly wearing the red neckties that showed they were survivors of the Custer cavalry brigade. Just behind them were lined up the regulars, and then the militia, with the big crowd forming a picturesque background. There was a tinge of sadness In the presence of the veterans, but the latter forgot all about their age and their ailments in the joy of honoring their old leader. The stand was filled with officers in full dress and ladies in white frocks, all glowing with enthusiasm. The presence of President Taft lent the note of national significance to the event, the Importance of which was testified to by the presence of 25,000 to honor the dead hero and the chief magistrate.

The city of Jackson never looked prettier with Its gay decorations of national colors arranged for the coming of President Taft to unveil the monument which marks the birthplace of the Republican party. Flags and red, white and blue bunting were everywhere in evidence, forming in graceful and artistic festoons from nearly every viewpoint. Every block and every store was decorated, and the chamber of commerce and the citizens generally exerted every effort to make the event a success and to extend to the chief executive of the nation a royal welcome.

Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told him that war had l^een declared between Chile and Peru and offered him the office of captain. He desire* that that nhrht the Esmeralda, a Chilean vessel, should be captured. •tephens accepted the commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to wkich he was assigned. He «ave them final instructions. They boarded the vessel. They Successfully captured the vessel supposed to be, the Esmeralda, through strategy. Capt. Stephens gave directions for the departure of the craft. He entered, the cabin and discovered the English " Woman end her maid. Stephens quickly, learned the wrong vessel had been captured. 1^ wag'Lord Darlington's private yacht, the lord's wife and maid being aboard. *He explained the situation to Tier ladyship. Then First Mate Tuttle laid bare the plot, saying that the Sea Queen had been taken, in order to go to the Antarctic circle. Tuttle explained that on a former voyage he had learned that the Xtenna Isabel was lost in 1753. He had found it frozen in a huge case of ice on an Island and contained much gold. Stephens consented to be tho captain of the expedition. He told Lady Darlington. She was greatly alarmed, at expressed confidence In him. The a Queen encountered a vessel in the fog. Stephens attempted to communicate. This caused a fierce struggle and he was overcome. Tuttle finally squaring the situation. Then the Sea Queen headed south again. Under Tuttle's guidance the vessel made progress toward its goil. De Nova, the mate, told Stephens that he believed Tuttle, now acting as skipper, insane because of his queer actions. Stephens was awakened by crashing of glass. He saw Tuttle In the grip of a spasm of religious mania and overcame him. The sailor upon regaining his senses was taken III. Tuttle committed suicide by shooting. Upon vote of the crew Stephens assumed the leadership and the men decided to continue the treasure hunt, the Islands being supposed to be only 200 miles distant. Tuttle was burled In the sea, L*<*y Darlington pronouncing the service. Stephens awaking from sleep saw the ghost, supposed to have formed the basfs for Tuttle's religious mania. Upon advice of Lady Darlington, Stephens started to probe the ghost. He esmo upon TJeut. Sanrhes, the drunken officer he had humbled In Chile. He found that at Sanchez' Inspiration, Ens^ neer MoKnlght played "ghost" to scare the men Into giving up the quest. Stephens announced that th« Sea Queen was at the spot where Tutt!#4 quest was supposed tn he. The crew was anxious to go on in further search. De Nova and Stephens conquered them In a fist fight. Lady Darlington thanked him. The Sea Queen started northward. She was wrecked In a tog. Stephens. De Nova, T,ady Darlington and her maid being among those to set out In a life boat. Ten were rescued.

At for myself, I was prepared for the work of the *»y Tut urgent need of getting some form of sail up and of releasing the rudder-was Indeed imperative; any approach of storm would have found us utterly helpless.

They went reluctantly, grumbling among themselves, yet I permitted them no opportunity for open revolt, driving them to the work I had decided upon, and shaming them by leading the way myself. I need not dwell upon the unpleasant details. The most disagreeable portion fell to me, although Johnson (took hold like a man after the first few momenta of reluctance. The others devoted themselves diligently to scraping oft the Ice, gathering up and casting overboard the accumulation of litter about the main cabin and the various staterooms, and assisting us only aa we passed the heavy, rigid bodies through the Btern-porte. We performed this unpleasant task of burial hastily, but with all gentleness; i there was little to do except to wrap the stiffened figures as best we might, weight them, though they were themselves like stone, and consign them to the gray sea. Not heartlessly, but with unspoken prayers upon our lips, we watched them sink silently into the depths they had resisted so long. Never shall I forget the face of the child, the last to be buried, nor the sickening feeling with which I sank back upon a bench, staring about the vacated cabin when the awful task was finally accomplished; yet the realization that it was over with, the cabin cleared and habitable, made new men of all of ua.

I nan That breakfast was the first warm tnesl any of us had enjoyed for five days, and we ate it together, sitting about on the galley deck. The men were unusually silent, even the voluble Kelly holding his tongue. No doubt their thoughts were with their perilous situation and the grewsome task confronting them; yet they partook heartily of the food, and I endeavored by •very means in my power to arouse tJhelr courage and cheerfulness. To fc ffcftt end I dwelt on the possibility of t vike wealth that might be concealed be- ••*• tween decks,promising an early search. But I spoke most to Lady Darlington, admiring greatly the easy manner In wMeh she bore herself amid such surroundings and adapted herself ^ necessities of our situation. All lance of pride and exclusive nesa vanished, and she was a simplehearted woman, bearing her trials with silent fortitude. Only once did •he even refer to our discoveries aft,. and then only to appear perfectly satisfied when I explained that the cabin was in such disorder it would have to be cleaned before fit for occupancy. Rough as the experience of the previous night had been, her dress soiled, her hair ruffled, never had she appeared more attractive than when, s i t ting in the midst of us on that galley deck with the gray daylight streaming in*ihrough the broken1 roof, the ruddy flames of the fire dickered across her There Was a Smlfe Upon Her Lips and a Mist of Tears in Her Eyes. brought forth and aired before the open ports, the furniture restored to position, and a fire started in the huge box-stove. This quickly warmed the icy Interior and yielded a new aspect of cheerfulness.

By noon we had completed the work, and had brought Lady Darlington and Celeste aft for dinner. CHAPTER XXV. In Which We Learn the Story of the Donna Isabel. The short Antarctic day left us little opportunity for the work on deck. However, I kept the men employed as long as possible, first setting them at hauling up tbe longboat and stowing it safely away under shelter, and then at untangling some of the raffle forward. They 'went at this last task rather unwillingly, for it was carried on in full view of that ice-casketed figure guarding the forecastle, yet they got out two fairly serviceable spars and a considerable amount of cordage so protected by the ice coating as to be still of value. When we finally knocked off and started aft in a body, a dark, cloudy night was about us, the snow falling BO thickly as to make It impossible to see across the deck. Dade was busily preparing supper in the wrecked galley, the red glare of his firs shining forth through the drifting flakes, while glimpses of light stole out in welcome from the forward cabin windows. The latter appeared shipshape and cheerful enough as we slid back the door and stepped within. Scarcely a reminder was left of that horrible interior dominated by death which had been revealed to me a few hours beip& a by the smoky glare of the torch. JMMtt pf aoJtUM* gggtig.JB&ii firmly set. ^ »Yea-**et} Jt taaew, Jecey btjt-bot it is all so te/Tible*. and-^and has come home-like toicb which waj irresistible I could only tome to a pause—gasing about and wonda^ng ft we cfinl* reelly be afloat upon a century-old wreck, toeaed helplessly on tbe waters of tbe Polar tea. The odd, old-faebtoned swtagjnj lantern threw violet-bued rays over the enug scene, while in the center the table, covered by a spotless cloth, waa Ui'ly gUstenlag & a brilliant display of ancient silver, newly polished, and of decorated glass. Dork, who had been engaged In giving the arrangement some final deft touches, turned lnatantjy at the sound of our entrance, her sweet face. brightening with interest aa she read the amazement pictured in my eyes. "You have actually worked ft marvel]" I exclaimed, admiringly. "Where in the world did you unearth such a display?" "From a locker behind tbe steward's pantry," s£e replied, smilingly. "But, oh," with a shiver, 'It waa most bitterly coUIJft there when we first opened the door. I actually had to wait half an hour before venturing in. Yet yon should have seen what we found; this is not half—the silver service was simply magnificent; and aee—every piece is beautifully engraven with a fac-slmile of the ship, and a masterpiece of art." I gazed at the bit of plate handed me, weighing it in my hand, and studying the decidedly elaborate scroll. "I have read that these old galleons were often furnished regardless of expense," I said, "and the Dons were high livers. Did you make any other discoveries?" "Only several caseB of liquor, but all were frozen solid. The lazarette opens from the pantry, and we succeeded in lifting the trap-door, but the cold of the air which came up was so intense that we were compelled to drop ft again immediately. I never imagined Buch an atmosphere possible*!' "It is the breath of, U6 years of polar winter," I explained., "TlUs very cabin was of that same temperature when we first broke through its .Ice covering." She pressed her palms to her temples, staring about her at the ,gray, gold-decorated interior. "Do you actually mean to Ml me that—that this wreck has been drifting and tossing about all that time?" she questioned unbelievingly. "No, not drifting and tossing about, but solidly imbedded within tbe ice far south of this. This vessel is the Donna Isabel—the same one Tuttle saw—and her log-book lies in that farthest state-room yonder. Its last entry was made la September, 1763." She sank down upon the bench, her eyes upon my face/ and I heard her lips repeating softly;' "September, 1753, September, 1753," aa though the conception could hardly find acceptance in her mind. The men wete comprehend It-—that they ahould have actually been here—here, all those yeftiw^ifraltiftgf • 4Sut £ will not /think of Ht a** lengeV; I—ft will do something to make me forget." We all messed together, sitting upon the, long benches drawn up about tbe table, Dade waiting upon us, with Dorla and Celeste occupying places between De Nova and myself. At the beginning we spoke little, the strangeness of our surroundings holding ua silent, but the minds of all being busy with the same thought, we insensibly drifted into conversation regarding our chances of rescue, and the history of the old vessel in whose cabin we floated. Once De Nova introduced tbe subject of the treasure which might be stored away below deck, and the men exhibited their Interest by numerous question; but I gave them little encouragement along this line, realizing that for the present our earliest effort should be to transform the wreck into some degree of safety—a sail first, and a clean rudder; these attained, the search for treasure might begin. What a scene and group that waa!— the wintry night without, the drifting fog of snow, the helpless hulk rising and falling upon the treacherous heave of the sea, that odd, violet-colored light gleaming over us. The faces are even before me—the girlish looking Celeste, *rith her dark curls and white teeth; Uady Darlington, her gray eyes Btlll moist as she glanced about the interior, unforgetful of its memories; De Nova, jaunty as ever, with no thought beyond the present, recalling to my mind with every movement the face of that dead Spaniard who for more than a century had sat where he was sitting; Sanchez, pale and with that hunted look, a counterpart no doubt of some seaman this ship had known In other dayB; McKnight, burly and rednecked; Kelly, his blue eyes filled with the merriment of old Ireland; Johnsop, broad-shouldered, and sober-faced, eating steadily, with never a lift of his shaggy brows; and Dade, fluttering abbut like a waiter ashore, with his eternal smirking and suggestion of a M (TO BE CONTINUED.) ance in, ner nunq. ^ne_ w » ^ T ^ M m d somewhat mythical city of Troy grouped close beside the entrance.] m a n v o v f t t e r . . _ m while De Nova and Celeste had gone forward to assist Dade in bringing his supper fcom the galley, so that for the moment we were comparatively alone. As I bent over, wondering what I had best say, she questioned quickly, with a little sharp indrawing of th* breath: "And—and the people, Jack*-—the— crew? What became ot them?" "Dead more than a century ago," I answered solemnly. "I did not stop this morning to read the log, and so I know little of their story. But the vessel itself tells of storm and of long struggle In the Ice; probably most of those on board perished from exposure and cold." Her hands clasped mine, her cheeks white from apprehension. "Were—were there any—any bodies —here?" "Yes," I replied reluctantly, not daring to say otherwise. "How—how many?" "Four men. a woman, and a child." An instant she stared into my face; then swept her eyes about the lighted cabin, only to bury them within her hands, her whole body,trembling. "A—a woman and child! Here! here! for 126 years'! Oh, merciful God!" she lifted her eyes again, filled with horror, her hands clenched. 'They—they were actually here, appearing natural? looking as they did in life?" "Yes; they seemed to be sleeping, for they had been solidly frozen in the very attitudes in which they died. The woman rested on the couch yonder? She had beautiful dark hair and eyes, and must have been about 30 years of age. The child was in a bunk, a little flaxen-haired girl of three or four." "And—-and you buried them?" "As best we could. We wrapped them In blankets, and consigned them to the deep, with a prayer for their souls." I bent closer. "Doris, dear, don't let this rest so heavily upon you. I wish I might have kept it all hidden. It was only the end of one of the Innumerable tragedies of the sea. We must face our own needs now, and that task will require all our courage." I thought she did not hear me, tbe tears continuing to fall between her fingers, half-suppresed sobs shaking heft form. Yet as I rested my hand upon her shoulder, she looked up ftt Ancients Loved Oysters. That the oyster waB in common use by primeval man has been conclusively shown by the discovery in the "kitchen middens" of Denmark of many thousands of oyster shells, showing every evidence of having been artiflcally opened. In ancient Greece, also, the oyster apears to have been a recognized delicacy, for Dr. Henry Behllemann, the eminent German archaeologist—who, it will be remembered, became an American citizen daring the great California gold rush —in his historic search for the ancient found many oyster shells in the ruins of the five prehistoric settlements of Hissarlik. But it was Rome in the height of her power and opulence that, by singling out the oyster as tbe piece de resistance of the Roman banqueting halls, conferred upon the oyster its just title as one of the most delicious and appetizing foods within the grasp of man.—National Magazine. That "Blue" Feeling. The use of the word "blue" to denote melancholy or terror, as in the phrases to "feel blue." "blue devils," a "blue funk," and so on, is not entirely figurative, if we are to credit a recent medical writer. The class of phenomena that includes fainting, vertigo, nausea, etc., Is controlled by certain brain centers that also bring about a sort of cramp of the external muscles of the eye. The resulting compression of the organ causes objects to look gray or bluish, and^ultimately produces apparent darkness. The use of the word, having a physiological basis, Is common to many languages. The French say, for Instance: "I see blue." A writer says that the French word eblouissement (giddiness) should be spelled ebleuissement, and has the same origin* He Knew the Folks. An amusing comment was made by a miner at an ambulance lecture In Elphinstone, East Lothian, Scotland, recently. The lecturer had stated that if suffocation from choking was likely to ensue, the simplest remedy to give relief till medical aid arrived was to take a ^ne-pointed pen-knife and make a small incision in the throat. One of tbe miners then shouted: "Ye dthna ken Elphinstone folkB. If I was to try that the morn, here's what wad happen: If that man died his folk wad bae me prosecuted for murder, and if he got better he himself would be the first to prosecute me for cutting his throat."

The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis says that in seven states, Alabama, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Wyoming and Utah, with a combined population of over 5,000,000, not one bed for consumptives has been provided. In nine states and territories, Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina.

Pepys and the Comet. They were watching a comet in Pepys' day. though Halley at the time was but eight years old. "My Lord Sandwich this day," says the diarist Dec. 21. 1664, "writes me word that he hath seen at Portsmouth the comet and says it is the most extraordinary thing he ever saw." Again on the 24th: "Having sat up all night till past 2 o'clock this morning, our porter being appointed, comes and tells us that the bellman tells him that the star is seen upon Tower hill; so I, that had been all night setting in order of my old papers In my chamber, did now leave off all and my boy and I to the Tower hill, It being a tnott fine, bright, moonshine night and a great frost but no comet to be seen." Later the same day, however, Pepys "saw tbe comet, which now, whether worn away or no, I know not, appears not with a tail, but only Is larger and doner'than any other star." / A Brave Girl Copyrlgfit, MA fcy -This la the story of Mary Olafeon. the daughter of a Swedish miner who prospected, in tbe ftcacho Blanco coontry, Artsona. There was a jpeat rush of prospectors into that region. Olafson. going there among others with his eighteen* year-old daughter Mary and his sou Peter, had the good fortune to strike a very rich piece of placer ground and was soon panning out large quantities of shining yellow gold dust Olafson one day walked far up on a ledge near by his cabin and. feeling about with bis pick, took out several nuggets ot considerable value. This, added to what had been panned, made up an amount of gold reaching into the thousands. Its owner took up a board ha bis cabin floor, deposited his treasure beneath it and put the board back again. A Mexican named Ramon was employed by Olafson as an assistant, and Olafson trusted him impMclty, and Bamon knew well where the treasure was hidden. "That's no place for gold," said Bamon one day to Olafson. "You'd better take It to a bank." "Haven't time," said Olafson. "Do you suppose I'd leave these rich diggings to others to take what I've got out to a bank? By the time 1 got back there'd be nothing left for me." And so the Olafson gold, with more adding to it every day, was left in its place under the floor, but no one knew where it was bidden except Olafson, his children and this trusted man Ramon. One day Olafson fell ill. Ramon volunteered to go to the Mexican camp below and bring a doctor. He came, a swarthy man with an evil eye, and gave Olafson some medicine. Mary nursed her father, but despite her care and the doctor's pills he grew steadily worse. She stood by him night and day without rest or sleep Finally one day when Ramon and the doctor were both at the cabin she left them to watch the patient and threw herself on a couch in another room. There she fell into a light slumber. But only for a few minutes. She was recalled to herself and her trouble by whisperings and noises in tbe sick room. She got up and went softly to a crack In tbe board partition and, look lng through, saw the doctor giving her father something from a bottle, while Ramon was taking up the board in the floor above the treasure. It was evident that the doctor was giving her father something either that he might not be conscious of what was going on or to kill him. The Mexican was doubtless a pal of Ramon's whom the latter had brought there for the purpose of assisting him in his scheme to get Olafsou's gold There was little to fear, they supposed, from a mere girl who was tired out and asleep at that. But they reckoned falsely. Olafsou's repeating rifle was banging on tbe wall loaded. Taking it down and placing Us butt to her shoulder. Mary threw open the door and held the Mexicans covered. Ramon cowered, but the doctor, not believing a chit of a girl would dare Are, rushed upon her to disarm her. In the middle of the room he was met by a bullet from Mary's rifle and dropped dead. Peter Olafson, who was outside, hearing a shot rushed in and saw Mary, who had killed one of the men. pointing her rifle at the other. Seizing a cord, while Mary kept Ramon covered, the youngster bound him so that be was helpless. This done, Mary ran to her father, took up the dose that the doctor had been trying to get down his throat, smelled it and knew at once that it was poison. It was the same that had been given the patient from the first and had been slowly killing him. Mary worked over him for hours before she brought him back to consciousness. Peter as soon as It was dark climbed the mountain in the rear of the cabin and by a circuitous route reached the nearest white camp, twenty miles away. Early the next day Mary saw several Mexicans coming up toward the cabin. Tbey were doubtless in the scheme of murder and robbery and coming to Join their countrymen. Mary waited till tbe nearest Mexican came within range, then flred a shot over his bead and let him know what he might expect if he came on. He retired, but all day different members of the party kept spying on her, and all day she kept giving them an occasional shot to indicate that they were under observation. But with nightfall the strain grew greater. The enemy might advance under cover of the darkness. For not a moment did her finger leave the trig* ger. Fancying a noise at a window, the put a bullet there; then a sonnA beyond the door induced her to send a shot tbroturh it.

Wiley, not 16 per cent of the coffee sold in the United States is of the quality guaranteed. Millions each year, says the doctor, are being stolen from the American people by the adulterators and mlabranders who are selling their fraudulent products in the guise of the genuine article. "One of the chief coffee frauds Is in the classification of coffee," says Dr. Wiley. "Nearly all coffee in the United States is sold as either Mocha or Java, while, as a matter of fact, fully 85 per cent of all American coffee imports are from Brazil. There is very little real Mocha or Java brought here now, for the Brazilian coffee has driven it from the market not only because of quality, but because it lies closer to hand. The American people are using a billion pounds of coffee a year at present, and the majority of it is the long berry Santos, which seems to have the demand behind it. Ground Coffee at Fault. "The great trouble with the coffee business is the deceit practiced in the preparation of so called ground coffee. The makers of these blends are in many iu»»*<4nces grossly deceiving the public, *e» they are using the very cheapest *>.fades of coffee berry—something they can purchase for from 3 to 4 cents per pound—and this, in addition to the husks, scrapings, dustings and broken bits, is ground up together and placed in cans with a fancy label and sold at from 36 to 40 cents a pound as a highly superior special brand with a lot more buncombe of the same sort. The facts of the case are just as I have said, and the curious feature of the illicit traffic is that first class Brazilian coffee is so cheap that It Is a wonder that any one could find it worth while to adulterate it at all. "In Europe there are some 1,600 factories that are turning out hundreds of millions of pounds of imitation coffee made from pits of olives, pulverized shells of nuts and some cereal husks all mixed together with molasses as a binder, pressed into molds and roasted. The resultant bean is sold as coffee. Since the enactment of the pure food law In this country there are not, I believe, any factories of that sort, but we have to exercise constant vigilance to keep those European frauds out. As a matter of fact, no one is really safe In buying ground or roasted coffee, for, while it is not permitted to Import broken beans or sittings, somehow they do get into bags and—and they are not thrown away. Coffee Absolutely Harmless. "As to the statement so frequently and speciously made that coffee is injurious, that is largely exaggeration. Coffee taken to excess will do harm. So will milk or any other substance There are veritable coffee and tea drunkards, and because these suffer from the abuse of nutritious foods must we class these foods as pernicious and dangerous? The business of trying to sell a cereal mixture by picturing the awful effects supposed to follow the use of coffee Is all tommyrot. No one who knows anything of food valuta would want to stuff in the first place, nnd I personally have no patience with the charlatans who are disposing of cereal mixture at 8 or 0 cents a pound as a substitute for coffee. It is nothing less than a plain lie to claim that it is a substitute, for it positively has none of the essential principles of coffee, and to say It has on the label is plain misbranding. It is claimed that for 1 cent two cups of excellent genuine coffee can be made from the Brazilian berry, and this, being so, would seem to make the cereal Imitation very dear indeed."

It la beginning to appear that as fast as the government unnecessarily ties up, corners and sequesters certain classes of natural resources It Increases the monopoly of similar resources and thereby tends to increase the cost' to the consumer of every pound of nails, every pound of coal and every foot of lumber. The theory of the geological survey in the withdrawing of coal lands la that by ao doing more of the coal In the mines now being worked will he aaved. And yet the estimates of thia tame geological survey show that coal meaauree in the United States contain coal enough to last the 90,000,000 of this country for S.722 years without drawing upon the fabulously rich coal danoalta nf Alaska.

A n a l o g i e s In H u m a n H i s t o r y . I C o n t i n u i n g , Mr. R o o s e v e l t s a i d In p a r t : Now. as to all of these phenomena in the evolution of species, there are, If not homologies, at least certain analogies. In the history of human societies, In the history of the rise to prominence, of the development and change, of the temporary dominance, and death or transformation, of the group* of varying kind which form races or nations. A s In biology, so In human history, a n e w form may result from the specialization of a long-existing and hitherto very •lowly-changing generalized or nonepeclalized form; as, for Instance, when a barbaric race from a variety of causes suddenly develops a more complex cultivation and civilization. That Is what occurred, for Instance, in western Europe during the centuries of the Teutonic and later the Scandinavian ethnic overflows from the north. All the modern countries of western Europe n n lescended from the states created by these northern Invaders. "When first created they could be called "new" or "young" states in the sense that part or all of the people composing t h e m were descended from races that hitherto had not been civilized at all, and t h a t therefore for the first time entered on the career of civilized communities. In the southern part of western Europe the new states thus formed consisted in bulk of the Inhabitants already In the land under the Roman empire; and It was here that the new kingdoms first took ishape. Through a reflex action their Influence then extended back Into the cold forests from which the Invaders had come, and Germany and Scandinavia witnessed the rise of communities with essentially the same civilization as their southern neighbors; though In those communities, unlike the southern communities, there w a s no Infusion of n-?w blood, and in each c a s e the new civilized nation which gradually developed was composer! entirely of members of the s a m e race which In the s a m e region had for ages lived the life of a slowly changing barbnrlsm. The same w a s true of the Slavs and the Slavonized F i n n s of eastern Europe, when an Infiltration of Scandinavian leaders from the north and infiltration of Byzantine culture from the south Joined to produce the changes which have gradually, out of the little Slav communities of the forest and the steppe, formed the mighty Russian empire of todav. " N e w " a n d " Y o u n g " N a t i o n s . Again, the new form may reprraent merely a splitting off from a long-rstahllshed, highly developed and specialized nation. In this case the notion is usually spoken of as a "young," and is correctly upoken of as a "new," nation: but the term should a l w a y s be ust^d with a clear sense of the difference brtween what Is described in such case. Rnd what Is described by the same term in speaking of a civilized notion just developed from a barbarism. Carthage and Syracuse were new cities compared with Tyre and Corinth; but the Greek or Phoenician race was In every sense of the word as old in the new city as In the old city. So, nowadays. Victoria or Manitoba is a new community compared with England or Scotland; but the ancestral type of civilization and culture ts as old in one case aa in the other. T of cotwrfi* do not mean for a moment that great changes nre not produced by the mere fact that the old civilized race is suddenly placed In surroundings where It hns ajjain to go through the work of turning the wildemeta, R work finished m a n y renturies before In th* original home of the race; I merely mean t h a t the ancestral history is the same in each „. case. We can rightly use the phrase "a . n e w people" In speaking of Canadian* S or Australians. Americans or Afrikanders." • p e a k i n g of such cnuinunllles H s tfcos* pi founded by the nnrthmen and their de- /»hort-Htghtc,d'*ma5Vria •eeitdarrt* during that period of eatonfsh* tng growth which saw the descendant* of the Norse sea-thieves conquer eaoHfaaaC'*' form Normandy, Sicily, and the British Islands; we use it in an entirely different sense from that in which we use It when speaking o f the new states that crew e p around Warsaw, Kief, Novgorod, and Moscow, as the wild s a v a g e s of the steppea and the marshy forests struggled haltingly and stumbllngly upward to become builders of cities and to form stable governments. The kingdoms of Charlemagne and Alfred were "new." compared wltb the empire on the Bosphorus; they were also In every w a y different; their lines of ancestral descent had nothing In common with those of the polyglot realm which paid tribute to the Caesars of Bysantlum; their social problems and aftertlme history were totally different. This Is not true of those "new" nations which soring direct from old nations. Brazil, t*e Argentine, the United States, are all "new" nations, compared with the nations of Europe; but with whatever changes >n detail, their civilisation Is nevertheless of the general European type, a s s h o w n tn Portugal, Spain, and England. The differences between these "new" American and these "old" European nations are not as great a s those which separate the "new" nations one from another and the "old" nations one from another. There are In each case very real differences between ths new and the old nation—differences both for good and for evil; but I n each case there Is the s a m e ancestral history to reckon with, the same type of civilisation, with Its attendant benefits und shortcomings; and, after the pioneer stages are passed, the problems to be solved, in spite of superficial differences, are in their essence the same; they are those that confront all civilized peoples, not thoHe that confront peoples struggling from barbarism into civilization. Bo, when w e speak of the "death" of a tribe, a nation or a civilization, the term m a y be used for either one or two totally different processes; the analogy with what occurs in biological history being complete. Certain tribes of savages, the Tasmanians. for Instance, and various little clans of American Indians, have within the last century or two completely died out; Hll of the Individuals h a v e perished, leaving no descendants, and the blood has disappeared. Certain other tribes of Indians have as tribes disappeared or are now disappearing; but their blood remains, being absorbed into the veins of the white Intruders, or of the black men introduced by these white intruders; so that In reality they are merely being transformed Into something absolutely different from what they were. A like wide diversity In fact may be covered In the statement that a civilization has "died out." P h e n o m e n a T h a t P u z z l e . In dealing, not with groups of human beings in simple and primitive relations, but with highly complex, highly specialised, civilised, or semi-civilized societies, there is need of great caution In drawing analogies with what has occurred in the development of the animal world. Yet even in these cases it is curious to ser how some of the phenomena In the growth and disappearance of these complex, artificial groups of human beings resemble what has happened in myriads of Instances In the history of life on this planet. Why do great artificial empires, whose citizens are knit by u bond of speech and culture much more than by a bond of blood, Bhow periods of extraordinary growth, and again of sudden or lingering decay? In some cases we can answer readily enough; In other causes we cannot as yet even guess what the proper answer should be. If In any such case the centrifugal forces overcome the centripetal, the nation will of course f!y to pieces, and the .reason for its failure to become a dominant force Is patent to every one. The minute that the spirit which finds its healthy development In local self-government, and In the antidote to the dangers of an extreme centralization, develops Into mere particularism, Into inability to combine effectively for achievement of a common end, then It Is hopeless to expect great results. Poland and certain republics of the western hemisphere are the standard examples of failure of this kind; and the United States would have ranked with them, and Its name would have become a byword of derision, if the forces of union had not triumphed In the civil war. Bo the growth of soft luxury after It has reached a certain point becomes a national danger patent to all. Again, it needs but little of the vision of a seer to foretell what must happen In any community If the average woman ceases to become the mother of a family of healthy children. If the average man loses the will and the power to work up to old age nnd to fight whenever the need arises. If the homely, commonplace virtues die out, if strength of character vanishes In graceful self-indulgence, If the virile qualities atrophy, then the nation has lost what no material prosperity can offset. But there nre plenty of other phenomena wholly or pnrtially inexplicable. It Is easy to see why Rome trended downward when great Riave-tlllerl farms spread over what hnd once been a countryside of peasant proprietors, when greed nnd luxury and sensuality nte like nrldn Into the fiber of the upper classes, while the mass of the citizens grew to depend, not upon their own exertions, but upon the state, for their pleasures nnd their very livelihood. But this does not explain why the forward movement, stopped at different times, so far as different matters were concerned; at one time as regards literature, at another time as regards architecture, at another time ns regards city hullding. We rnnnot even gneas why the springs of one kind of energy fljled up while there was yet no cessation of another kind. Holland as an Example. T s k e another nnd smaller Instance, that of Holland. For a period covering a little more than the seventeenth century, Holland, like some of the Italian city states at an earlier period, stood on the dangerous heights of greatness beside nations so vastly her superior in territory and population as to m a k e it inevitable that sooner or later she must fall from thf glorious and perilous eminence to which she had been raised by her own indomitable soul. Her fall came: It could not have been indefinitely postponed; but It came far quicker than*!t needed to come, because of shortcomings on her part to which both Great Britain and the United State* would be wise to pay heed. Her government was singularly ineffective, the decentralization being such as often to permit the-Sepnrntist, the particularism Spirit of the provinces to rob the central authority of all efficiency. This was bad enough. But the fatal weakness was that so common In rich, peacs»lbvlng societies, whers sneti Jtate to think of w a i i s * |>ossithtlt fighting tor thtm on land: and on Hshll*.

The loss of pre-eminence in the schools followed t h s loss of pre-eminence in camp £*nd l a council chamber. * In the little republic of Holland, a s in t h s great empire of Rome, it w a s not death which came, but transformation. Both Holland and Itafy feagh us t h a t races that fall m a y rise again. D a n g e r of R a c e 8ulcl<ta. There are questions which w e of t h « great civilised nations are ever tempted t o aak of the future. Is our time or growth drawing to an end? Are we a s nations soon to c o m e under the rule of that g r e a t law of death, which is itself but part of t h e great law of life? N o n e can tell. Jtorcea that w e can see and other forces t h a t a r e hidden or that can but dimly be apprehended are at work all around us, both for good and for evil. The growth in luxury, In love of ease. In taste for vapid and frivolous excitement, la both evident snd unhealthy. The most ominous s i g n Is the diminution In the birth-rate, In t h e rate of natural increase, now to a larger or lesser degree shared by most of t h e civilized nations of central and western Europe, of America and Australia; a diminution so great that if it continues tor t h e next century a t the rate which has t>0- tained for the last 25 years, all the more highly civilized people will be stationary or else have begun to go backward i n population, while many of them will h a v e already gone very far backward. There is much that should give us c o n - cern for the future. But there is m u c h also which should give us hope. N o m a n is more apt to be mistaken than t h e prophet of evil. I believe with all m y heart that a great future remains for u s ; but whether it does or does not, our duty is not altered. However the b a t - tle m a y go, the soldier worthy of the name will with utmost vigor do his a l - loted task, and bear himself a s valiantly In deTest a s in victory. Come w h a t will, we belong to peoples who have not yielded to the craven fear of being great. In the ages that h a v e gone by, t h e great nations, the nations that have e x - panded and that have played a m i g h t y part In the world, have in the end grown old and weakened and vanished; but so have the nations whose o n l y thought w a s to avoid all danger, all effort, who would risk nothing, and w h o therefore gained nothing. In the end t h e s a m e fate m a y overwhelm all alike; but the memory of the one type perishes w i t h It while the other l e a s e s Its mark deep on the history of alJ the future of m a n - kind. In the first part of this lecture I drew certain analogies between what had occurred to forms of animal life through the procession of the ages on this planet, and what has occurred and Is occurring to the great artificial civilizations which have gradually spread over the world's surface during the thousands of y e a r s that have elapsed since cities of temples and palaces first rose beside the Nile a n d the Euphrates, and the harbors of Mlnoan Crete bristled with the masts of the Aegean craft. But of course t h e parallel is true only In the roughest and most general way. Moreover, e v e n hetween the civilizations of today a n d the civilizations 0 f ancient times there are differences so profound that we m u s t be cautious in drawing any conclusions for the present based on what has h a p - pened In the past! While freely admitting all of our follies snd weaknesses of today, It Is yet mere perversity to refuse to realize the incredible advance t h a t has been made in ethical standards. I do not believe that there Is the slightest necessary connection between any w e a k e n - ing of virile force and this advance in the moral standard, this growth* of t h e sense of obligation to one's neighbor a n d of reluctance to do that neighbor wrong. We need have scant patience with t h a t silly cynicism which insists that kindliness of character only accompanies weakness of character. On the contrary, Just as In private life many of the m e n of strongest character are the very m e n of loftiest and most exalted morality, so I believe that in national life as the a g e s go by we shall find that the permanent national types will more and more tend towards those in which, while the intellect stands high, character stands h i g h e r ; In which rugged strength and courage, rugged capacity to resist wrongful a g - gression by others, will go hand In h a n d with a lofty scorn of doing wrong to o t h - ers. This is the type of TImoleon. of Hampden, of Washington and Lincoln. P r o b l e m s of M o d e r n N a t i o n s . Every modern civilized nation has m a n y and terrible problems to solve within its own borders, problems that arise not merely from Juxtaposition of poverty a n d riches, but especially from the self-consciousness of both poverty and riches. Each nation must deal with theie m a t - ters In its own fashion, and yet the spirit in which the problem is approached m u s t ever be fundamentally the same. Tt must lie a spirit of broad humanity; of brotherly kindness; of acceptance of responsibility, one for each and each for all; and at the same time a spirit as remote as the pol<* fr6m every form of weakness and sentimentality. As in w a r to pardon the coward is to do cruel wrong to the brave man whose life his cowardice Jeopardizes, so in civil affairs It is revolting to every principle of Justice to give to the lasy, the vicious, or even the feeble and dull-witted, a reward which is really t h s robbery of w h a t braver, wiser, abler men have earned. The only effective w a y to help any m a n is to help him to toelp himself; and the worst lesson to teach him is that he can be permanently helped at the expense of some one else. True liberty shows Itself to best advantage in protecting the r i g h t s of others, and especially of minorities. Privilege should not be tolerated because It is to the a d v a n t a g s of a minority, nor yet because it Is to the advantage of a majority. N o doctrinaire theories of vested rights or freedom of contract can stand in the w a y of our cutting out abuses from the body politic. Just a little can we afford to follow the doctrin- . aires of an impossible—snd incidentally of a highly undesirable—social revolution which, in destroying individual rights (including property rights) and ths f a m - ily, would destroy the t w o chief a g e n t s in the advance of mankind, and" the t w o chief reasons w h y either t h s a d v a n c e or ths preservation of mankind is w o r t h to be callous to sorrow and suffering, and Wind to our duty to do all things possible for t h s betterment of social conditions. But it is a n unspeakably foolish thing to strive for tbia >ettermapt by means so destructive that they would leave no f o - etal conditions to better. In dealing with an these s o d s ! problems, with trrs IntS* rnate relations of the family, with wealth in private use and business use, with labor, with poverty, t h e one prime necessity la to remember that, though hardness of heart Is a great evil. It is no greater a a evil than softness of head. B u t in addition to these problems the most intlmats and Important of all which to a larger or less- degree aOeot all the modern nations somewhat alike, we of the great nations t h a t have expanded, that are now in complicated relations with one another a n d with alien races, have special prot mas a n d special duties oX our own. You belong to a nation which possesses the greatest empire upon which the sun has ever shone. 1 belong to a nation which Is trying, on a seals hitherto unexampled, to work out the problems of government for, of, and by ths people, while at t h s s a m s tlms doing the international duty of a great power. But there are certain problems which both of us have to solve, and as to which our standards should be the same. T h e Englishman, the man of the British isles, in his various homes across the seas, and the American, both at home and abroad, are brought into contact with utterly alien peoples, earns with a civilisation more a n - cient, than our own, others still tn, or having but recently arisen from, the barbarism which our people left behind a g e s age. The problems t h a t arise are of wellnigh Inconceivable difficulty. They cannot be solved by the foolish sentimentality of stay-at-home people, with little patent recipes, and those cut-and-drled theories of the political nursery which have such limited applicability amid the crash of elemental forces. Neither can they be solved by the raw brutality of the men who, whether at home or on the rough frontier of civilisation, adopt might as the only standard of right in dealing with other men, and treat alien races only as subjects for exploitation. No hard and fast rule can be drawn as applying to all alien races, because they differ from one another far more widely than some of them differ from us. But there are one or t w o rules which must not be forgotten. In the long run. there can be no Justification for one race m a n - aging or controlling another unless the management and control are exercised In the Interest and for the benefit of that other race. This Is what our peoples have In the main done, and must continue in the future In even greater degree to do, in India. Egypt, and the Philippines alike. In the next place, as regards every race, everywhere, at home or abroad, we cannot afford to deviate from the great rule of righteousness which bids us treat each man on his worth as a man. H e must not be sentimentally favored because he belongs to a given race; he must riot be given Immunity in wrong-doing, or permitted to cumber the ground, or given other privileges which would be denied t o . the vicious and unfit a m o n g themselves; On the other hand, where he acta in a w a y which would entitle him to respect and reward If he were of our own stock, he is just as much entitled to that respect and reward if he comes of another stork, even though that other stock produces a much smaller proportion of men of his type than does our own. This has nothing to do with social Intermingling, with what is called social equality, It has to do merely with the question of doing to each man and each woman that elementary Justice which will permit him or her to gain from life the reward which should a l w a y s accompany thrift, sobriety, self-control. respect for the rights of others, and hard and Intelligent work to a given end. To more than such Just treatment np man Is entitled, and less than such Just treatment no man should receive. D u t y of N a t i o n to N a t i o n . The other type of duty is the International duty, the duty owed by one nation to another. I hold that the laws of morality which should govern Individuals in their dealings one with the other are Just as binding concerning nations In their dealings one with the other. T h e application of the moral law must be different in the two cases, because in one case It has, and in the other it has not, the sanction of a civil law with force behind it. The Individual can depend for his rights upon the courts, which themselves derive their force from the police power of the state. The nation can depend upon nothing of the kind; and therefore, as things are now. It is the highest duty of the most advanced and freest peoples to keep themselves in such a state of readiness as tft forbid to a n y barbarism or despotism the hope of arresting the progress of the world by striking down the nations that lead in that progress. It would be foolish indeed to pay heed to the unwise persona who desire disarmament to he begun by the very peoples who, of all others, should not be left helpless before any possible foe. But we m u s t reprobate quite as strongly both the leaders and the peoples who prsctlae, or encourage or condone, aggression and iniquity by the strong at the expense of the weak. We should tolerate lawlessness and wickedness neither by the weak nor by the strong; and both weak and strong w e should In return treat with scrupulous fairness. The foreign policy of a great and self-respecting country should be conducted on e x a c t l y the s a m e plane of honor, of insistence upon one's own rights and of respect for the rights of others, s s when a brave and honorable man is dealing with his fellows Permit me to support this statement out of m y own experience. F o r nearly eight years I was the head of a great nation and charged especially with the conduct of its foreign policy; and during those years I took no action with reference to a n y . o t h e r people on the face of the earth that I would not h s v e felt Justified in taking as an individual in dealing with other Individuals. I believe that we of ths great civilised nations of today h a v e a right to feel that long careers of achievement He before, our several countries. To each of us Is vouchsafed the honorabte privilege of do- Jng hts part, however small, In that work. 'Let us strive hardily for success, even If by so doing w s risk failure, spurning the poorer souls of small e n d e a v o r . w h o know neither failure nor success. Let us hope that our own blood shall continue In the land, that our children and children's children to endless generations shall arise to. take our places and play a mighty and dominant part In the world. But whether this be denied or granted by the years we shall not see, let at least the satisfaction be ours that we h a v e carried onward t h s lighted torch in our own day and generation. If ws do this, then, as our e y e s closs, and we go out into the darkness, and other hands grasp the torch, s t least we can say that our part has been borne well and valiantly. X Food!

Delegates from all over the country to the number of 250 attended. The contested will case in which the city of Flint was a claimant for a share in the estate of Mrs. Mary Stockdale, who died several years ago, leaving property estimated to he worth $350,000, has been settled. The city gets $45,000. At a special session of the Ingham board of supervisors it was voted to borrow $20,000 to meet current expenses and pay a slight deficit. This amount will be spread on the tax roll for this year. The clerk was instructed to draw warrants on the several funds. In order to educate people of Saginaw to vote for the bond issue for the proposed $400,000 waterworks and filtration plant, the citizens' committee has arranged for a special train to Toledo to carry free anyone that wants to view that city's model plant. The date of the trip has not been determined. Train service on the Michigan Central through Owosso was delayed several hours by two wrecks, one between Lansing and Holt, In which a broken wheel derailed eight freight oars, the other near St. Charles, where two coal cars were thrown in the ditch by a broken axle. No one was injured. Owing to the fact that many election hoards allowed voters both to roister and enrall in the primary April 2 instead of allowing them to register April 2 and enroll April 4. many names are being stricken off the iists by clerks in the office of the secretary of state. The result, however, will probably not affect any candidate. Foreign liquor dealers have been informed that they will have to liquor dealers that they will have to pay the state fee or stay out of Michigan. Several dealers wrote the attorney- general, asking that they be allowed to do business In the state without paying the fee pending a decision of the supreme court on a test case which has been brought before that tribunal. Mrs. Esther Tyler, who died recently at her home in Union City, was a pioneer resident of Branch county. She was 90 years old. She was born in Connecticut, and her father was Ebenezer Robbins, a soldier in the revolutionary war. Mrs. Tyler was the last surviving member of the National Society, Daughters of the Revolution, organized at Washington, D. C, in 1890. William J.

The lands contain In all about 10,000 acres and were cut over years ago by this the oldest lumbering concern In this section. Only pine and hemlock, however, was taken, and the balance of the timber is still standing. The new owner will colonize the lands. Michigan is still in the milliondollar class, according to the statement Issued by the state treasurer, which shows a total of $1,809,330 on hand in all the various funds, and a cash surplus of $10,053.83 in the strong box. The primary school interest fund has a total of $127,298.97, and this amount will be increased by $16,000 paid in to Auditor-General Fuller by the Toledo & Ironton Railroad Co. Despite the fact that considerable property in Lanstng, both real and personal, has been removed from the rolls owing to the advent of local option and the exemptions granted to soldiers and sailors of the civil war, the city assessors have estimated that the total assessed valuation of Lansing will be raised from last year's figures, $13,736,425, to an even $15,- 000.000 this year, or a gain of over $1,000,000.

While a child there broke out a red sore on the legs Just in back of my knees. It waxed from bad to worse, and at last I saw I had a bad skin disease. I tried many widely known doctors-in different cities but to no satisfactory result. The plague bothered me more in warm weather than in winter and being on my leg joints it made it impossible for me to walk, and I was forced to stay indoors in the warmest weather. My hopes of recovery were by this time spent Sleepless nights and restless days made life an unbearable burden. At last I was advised to try the Cuticura remedies [Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills] and I did not need more than a trial to convince me that I was on the road of success this time. I bought two sets of the Cuticura Remedies and after these were gone I was a different man entirely. I am now the happiest man that there is "at least one true care for skin diseases. 'Leonard A.
