(By C. A. O'COCK.) The average dairyman of 20 years *go gave the sanitary floor' or stall little consideration in the construction of his cow stables, and used any method of building which/ best suited bis Individual ideas. He cared little about the condition of the cow at milking time so long as she gave the milk. The most of the old dairy barns are so arranged that it is impossible to keep cows clean in them. The floors now commonly found are dirt, wood, either block or plank, brick, stone, and in some cases concrete. Dirt of course Is very undesirable since it affords an excellent harbor for bacteria, insects and vermin. In order to maintain a sanitary stable such floors must be eliminated. Wooden floors are about as undesirable as those made of dirt, but when care is exerted may be so constructed as to be fairly satisfactory. Brick or concrete are the only floors one can safely say are sanitary. Brick should be laid upon a good subbase and if this is not a good Arm foundation it should be well tamped before laying the brick.' The brick floor having , Ijeen completed, the In making a cottaoefe floor be sure that a substantial sub-base is secured. Upon this spread three inches of mixed concrete, consisting of one part cement, 2½ parts clean, coarse sand, and 5 partB broken stone or clean gravel spread in one continuous layer. Unless there is to be excessive wear no finishing coat is needed. If siich a coat seems desirable in the driveways it should be mixed 1 part cement and 2 parts sand. The finished coat should be about three-fourths of an inch thick and laid off in 4-inch squares, the grooves about one-fourth inch deep. Finish a floor in this way And horses pulling a load will not slip and fall. ,*- gtall mats should be constructed of seven-eighths inch lumber and so placed in the stall that they may be removed frequently to facilitate in cleansing''the stall, since it is quite, •BBSS***** Young1 Aj Young age pensfeasl Wljy not?

They should be laid upon good foundations' and finished w^tL grooves to prsvsnt the animal slipping upon them. The stalls should be provided with mats of lumber so placed that they may be frequently removed foe, cleansing. All parts of the stalls which are made of wood, should be removable so that they may be readily replaced when worn but taining the liquid manure it may be desirable to "nave more fall. The1 liquid manure cistern should be so Bltuated as to permit of as few angles as possible in the pipes leading from the gutters. Traps should be so constructed where the pipes have their beginning in the gutters as to permit of quick cleaning. Open* lngs should be provided In the floor at each bend of the ,plpes. In -this way little difficulty would be experienced in keeping the drains free. Vslusbfs Crops. .

On the steeple of an old Universali s ! church in Bath, Me,, there is a wooden figure of an-angel. It is not a remarkably fine specimen of art, and has always been somewhat laughed about, especially because of its highheeled shoes. The Bath Enquirer recalls the story that a former pastor of the North Congregational church once accosted a devoted Unlversalist with the question: "Mr. Raymond, did you ever see an angel with high-heeled shoes on its feet?" "Why* no," answered Mr. Raymond, "I can't say that I ever did; but did you ever see one without them?" COMING HIS WAY. WipvTQimnrr S3S "What luck, my boy?"

Rose in the Newark Star tells the story of a youog minister who bad recently taken chargp of a small parish in Vermont, 'lie aspired to greater things and a large field, and in the hope that his reputation would travel beyond the limits ©i the village to* which he had been sent he threw into his sermons all the force and eloquence a\ his command. He was, however, totally unprepared for what was intended for a compliment, but which was put to him in such a way that it left him in doubt as to the real impression ho had made. One Sunday morning, after an especially brilliant, effort, he was greeted by an old lady, who was^one'of the most faithful attendants at all services. Approaching the young minister, she said: "Ah, sir, we do ^njoy your sermons so much, they a>e so instructive. Do you believe it, we never knew what sin was until you came to the parish."

T h e lion is t b e king of beasts, but all of his magnificent s t r e n g t h and ferocity would avail him nothing when he faced a mere ant. But this a n t is not t h e usual kind which peacefully goes a b o u t its domestic duties d a y by day. It is the terrible driver or soldier ant, said to be t h e most invincible ' c r e a t u r e in the world.

T h e quickness with which t h e poor wretch is dispatched is marvelous when it is considered that each a n t can do nothing more than merely icar o u t a small particle of Mesh and carry it off.

The .Japanese believe in more mythical c r e a t u r e s than any other people on the globe, civilized or savage, Among them a r e mythical animals without any , r e m a r k a b l e peculiarities of conformation, but gifted with supernatural a t t r i b u t e s , such a s a tiger which Is said t o live to be a thousand y e a r s old and to turn a s white a s a polar bear. They also believe in a multitude of a n i m a l s distinguished mainly by their size o r by the multiplication of t h e i r members. Among these a r e serpeDts SOO feet long a n d large enough to swallow a n elephant, foxes with eight legs, monkeys with four ears, fishes with ten heads attached to o n e body, t h e flesh of whJ*h Is a cure for bolls. T h e y also believe in t h e existence of a c r a n e which, after it h a s reached t h e a g e of 600 years, h a s n o need of a n y s u s t e n a n c e except water. Blamed the Last One.

These c a m e to the s e r v a n t s a s official perquisites: hence our .well worn expression before emptying a dish, "Leave the last slice lor w h a t e v e r it may bei for m a n n e r s , " though if votes were collected on this point it is hardly likely t h a t a n y of us would h a v e taken It as it s t a n d s in the original.

Governor Warner is here completing his final message to the legislature, which will probably be presented soon. He announced that while he will not be here the first of the week he expects to attend the Joint session of the senate and house and personally present his views to the legislature. As evidence that his long tenure of office is at an end, two big boxes were shipped from the executive office/to the governor's Mbme In Farmingion. The cheats contain his personal Correspondence of his six years as governor and his four previous years as secretary of state. "I've a double deck vault In my office there," said the governor, "and I expect to store the papers !n the upper section, as I want to retain many of the letters."

After a conference between Governor Warner, Attorney General Kuhn, Secretary of State Martbadale, l>and Commissioner RusBell and State Treasurer Sleeper, the three latter comprising the state board of auditors, It was decided that the bills of Attorneys Barkworth of Jackson, and Ktrchner of Detroit, amounting to $26,- 000 each, for services rendered tho state in tho famous Michigan Central tax and charter cases, should not be paid. It was known that the hoard of auditors were not in favor of paying tho claims, but the attitude of the governor and attorney general was not known until the conference.

Moore, his subject being' The Building up of a D.iiry Herd."^T-he topic was indeed a|>Jy treated. H e touched on aTTpoints of the question at hand, emphasizing the fact that first aud foremost the successful dairyrnun must have a profitable herd. In order to have this, he must exercise great care in selecting his animals. Of course the purity of their progeny depends upon the sire used in breeding. I t therefore behooves all farmers to secure a blooded sire, by so doing insur- The City Life Compared With | !he Goiinlnj Life as to its Comforts and florals. 2 i T a l k G i v e n P u t n a m a n d F a r m e r s ' By A L B R O G B e f o r e .

A record should be taken of each member of the herd at regular intervals thus ascertaining the individual merits of each cow. In this way all star boarders, or cows which are a detriment to the purity of the herd may be expelled threfrom and new ones bought in their places. I n this way a pure standard is maintained fpr one good cow is equal to forty poor ones, as far as the financial end is concerned. He believes that in many cases the cows are not propei ly cared for. A cow should not be ted too much corn, but requires rather a varied diet, which should consist of plenty of cornstalks, clover hay aud cotton seed meal. A cow in order to be properly nourished must have a certain amount of protein material. I n place of buying the expensive pie pared food products containing protein, Mr. Moore suggested that the farmers raise alfalfa hay on their farms. This crop yields from three to four tons to the acre and contains at least twelve pounds protein to each 100 pounds weight, making it not only a nourishing food product but BIBO one of the cheapest and best. The proper care of cows does not depend entirely upon the food, but also upon ventilation and water supply. King's system of ventilation is one which could be well and profitably followed. Cows should not drink from a tank of ice cold water in the winter time, as they cannot consume enough tor their proper nourishment. Summing altogether the building up of a good dairy herd depends not only upon the selection of the cows, but very much upon their proper aare and treatment nnder the hands of the dairyman. This subject waa discussed by Michael Roche, B o y Placeway and Fred Grieves, all of which were about of the same opinion as Mr. Moore, and each gave a good talk. Following this, a soprano eolo: "Moonlight and the Boae in Jnoe" snug by Grace Grieve. Miaa Grieve haa a vary pleaeing voioe and uaea it t o good advantage.

The present high cost of living is due largely to the crowded city districts and the sparcely populate 1 rural parts of our laud. Every laborer under present conditions is compelled t o feed, house and cloth Beven idlers. The cities hold one-third the inhabitants of this country, thus placing the urban population in a condition of non support. - T h e young of both sexs are rushing into the already over crowded centers, to find labor under the roof of great manufacturies there to be found, they often find the labor bnt less often do they find the comforts of home and the dear Old Farm. Glance into the east and there see the condition of the cotton nud wollen manfacturing centers where women and children have already become the burden bearers of that part of this Proud Land. Then turn your gaze to the far and sparcely populated west and there find the happy homes filled with romping happy young aud free life where mankind grows to it's full stature of manhood and womanhood. The tendency of the city is toward pleasure and easier living. That may in a measure suit the individual bat it will never build a free and enduring "Homeland".

In m a k i n g r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s relative to t a x a t i o n legislation, I d e e m it advisable to call your a t t e n t i o n to two features of our n e w S t a t e Constitution. One, t h e provisions affecting your authority to impose specific t a x e s and the other, t h e limitations of t h e subjects of taxation that shall h e r e a f t e r contribute to the p a y m e n t Of i n t e r e s t upon our s t a t e educational 4»»BtT -fi||^--8^(r--trre--*uj^)lus primary,j.lie dairy _ a n d _ . f o o ( l d e p i u l m e n i . . t h e e x i s t e n c e of t h e office it h a s disappeared.

As a " t e n t a t i v e proposition for your e x a m i n a t i o n and consideration, 1 would suggest the advisability or possibility of imposing a general corp o r a t e income tax to be levied against ail corporations of the State, except railroad and other public service corporations taxed ad valorem by average rate. T h e t a x e s t h u s imposed with other specific t a x e s that mifcht properly go into the General Fund, T b c l i ' v e would n e a t l y or evor;, fully me-ei all legitimate state needs and obviate the necessity of any further r e s o r t to general taxation for state purposes, Taxation of Mortgages. The present law for the taxation of m o r t g a g e s Is a failure. Although it m a y be right in theory it cannot reasonably be 'enforced. T h e yield from it is disappointing. It. a m o u n t s practically to double taxation and places a p r e m i u m upon circumvention, conc e a l m e n t and o t h e r forms of dishonesty. T h e Michigan law is t h e same, tin g e n e r a l effect, v a r y i n g only In detail, a s t h e m o r t g a g e t a x laws of all e x c e p t t h i r t e e n of t h e o t h e r s t a t e s .

The yirl luok off her h a t and | displayed a wealth of hitir, with juM enough red iu it to m a k e it fold. T h e day was hot, a u d s h e t h r e w hack her ehawl. Theu 1 uoticed t h a t her bodice w a s cut low a u d revealed a auperb neck set ou a p a i r of well rounded shoulders. " W h y do you w e a r that kind of d r e s s at this time of d a y ? " 1 asked. "Because 1 h a v e n ' t auy other." "Do you live a b o u t here?" "No. I dou't Jive a n y w h e r e . I ' m t r a m p i n g . " Then she cried. Not a slip in g r a m m e r , uot au unrefined expression, escaped her. She had evideutly seen b e t t e r days. Indeed, s h e might have lived in luxury. "If you will let m e m a k e a sketch vt you." 1 said. "1 will pay you well for doing so." " W h a t will you do with t h e sketch? "Will everybody see it? 1 w o u l d n ' t j wish them tov see it at home." "1 will put it in my portfolio. I don't think any one w h o knows you will ever see it." She consented, and I made the sketch, putting in t h e colors exactly as they were. I g a v e her a good price for t h e pose, which she clutched eagerly. 1 believe s h e was hungry. While I worked I w a s t a l k i n g to her with a view to learning sometfiTng a b o u t her. B u t s h e would tell me nothing willingly, and I wm* u u a b l e to iuduce her to give me any information by artifice. At last 1 was obliged to let her go her w a y . Bat her picture—-it w a s a fine representation o f ' " F r o m Affluence to Poverty"— remained with me. gazing out a t - aae-from t h e T3U7f~ey'es7~ah u* 1 found myself constantly taking it out from a m o n g my other sketches a n d looking a t it. Indeed. I found myself unfit for work, so complete a hold had it t a k e n upon me. I slept t h a t night at a farmhouse and woke in t h e night depressed by a feeling that t h e girl w a s wandering about with no home, no money, n o t h i n g to eat a n d obliged to wear a n y t h i n g she could get to cover her. W h a t a selfish world! Why had I not taken her into my heart and provided for her w a n t s ? Then I r e m e m b e r e d t h a t there is a barrier which p r e v e n t s young men from assisting y o u n g women. As to t a k i n g her into my heart, t h a t I had done, though 1 did not realize w h a t a foothold she had gained there. One thing about her was patent. She w a s pure. No such beauty as hers need go in rags except through purity. It was this doubtless t h a t prevented my banishing her from my mind and drew7 me toward her. 1 have always had a lvablt of reading t h e personals In newspapers. I do so because I 1 lice? to have my fancy started In w e a v i n g stories that t h e few advertised words indicate. One d a y I read t h e following: I n f o r m a t i o n w a n t e d of G l a d y s S e y m o u r , t w e n t y y e a r s old. W h e n la.st s e e n sh« ! w o r e a dark blue d r e s s , c u t low necK; \ e y e s dark b r o w n ; hair t h e s a m e , w i t h a t i n g o of red In It. I saw the subject of my sketch de- - scribed in this personal. I called im- [ mediately on the advertiser a n d found a lawyer. I showed him my sketch, j a n d he showed me a photograph. They w e r e identical s a v e as to dress. T h a t of t h e photograph w a s silk, that of the sketch rags. H e told me t h a t t h e girl h a d been driven from home by the cruelty of a stepmother. She had gone vowing never to return. The stepmother had died, a n d the girl's father, who was alone, w a s anxious to find his daughter, hut had little hope of doing so. I determined to h u n t for Gladys Seymour myself. T a k i n g my sketch with me. 1 went to t h e place whpre I had m a d e it. then started in t h e direction s h e had gone when she left me. I spent n day in discovering where s h e h a d slept that night. A f a n n e r ' s wife had t a k e n her In and given her a bed a n d a supper. Having learned t h e direction she had taken the next morning. I went on mid trurked her in a direct line to a little town, where I lost her. But, s h o w i n g my sketch and making inquiries. I traced her to a store, where she had been given work behind t h e counter. T h e r e 1 found h « \ though in a b e t t e r costume than t h a t in which 1 had met her. I don't know which w;is more affected by the news I gave her. I at telling It o r she at learning it. She went at once to h e r employer to gay that she would like to go to her home, and he excused her from remaining. I furnished h«r with the means to got there—not ^ charity, but ns a loan. Gladys Seymour did not remain at home long with her father, for 1 stepped In and took her away from him. There was • n bone of contention between me and my wife for a long white. She wished the sketch I had made of her when she was tramplaf destroyed. I loved it and wished to keep it. But t h e peried was so painful to her that I finally consented to b u n t h e picture.

Juukaoii, well known aa oue of our most bucuessful and enterprising business men, has sold bia stock of dry floods, furniture and general merchandise to K. D. Clinton. Mr. Jackson is essentially a Pinckney product He was born on his father's farm near here and started to work fortheMabn Brostwenty- four years ago. He Was with them nearly three^ years, when he accepted a pobitipn with Barnard and Campbell and remained with that firm three years. The next two years found him with Burnham Stoeple and Co., of Dt troit, at that time the largest wholesale dry goods concern in Michigan. He then returned to Pinckney, engaging iu business for himself in the store now occupied by W. W. Barnard, with a stock of dry goods etc. Five years later he moved the stock to the "Brick Store," where he first began work as a boy, and soon after absorbed the furniture business conducted by Geo. Sigler, and remained there until the present time. During those years of active business, with his unusually well developed qualifications as a salesman and business manager, Mr. Jackson has attained success financially and made for himself a reputation in his home town for honesty: andJLair dealing that will not soon be forgotten by ttre be&£-e£f friends who regret his departure Outside of his business relations he is prominent in social and fraternal organizations, being Master of the Masonic and treasurer of the Woodman and Macoabee orders. He has served several terms as councilman and is now President of'the village and an officer on the Board of Education, and has always been a strong advocate for bettering the appearance and condition of the town and schools. Mr- Jackson is still identified with the Jackson Electric Lighting company as it's manager and for the present will have an office at the R. I). Clinton store.

Yours for business, ed* W« Broad more fi* Son i New Firm in Pinckney R. D. Clinton Now Owner Of t h e Jackson Store. Richard D. Clinton has been too long before the public in this vicinity to need an introduction through these columns. One of the solid citizens of Putnam and with the business ability, gained through many years' experience in various branches, he will, without doubt, prove to be equally as popular as his predecessor has been, v Formerly in the hardware business in Pinckney and later as traveling salesman for one of the great harvester companies, he tyas h a d opportunities for ascertaining just what the people want and how to satisfy them, that are not afforded to those with less experience. Mr. Clinton realizes that the retail busines in rural communities is now a different proposition than formerly and has new ideas which he intends to put into practice in the "Brick Store," and which will result in increasing the trade of the village merchant and keep io circulation at home a good share of the money that now goes to the mail order houses.

On these subjects women, especially young women, are strangely ignorant. "They really make me think, you know, of the little girl who was asked by her teacher: " 'What can you tell us of Solomon?' " 'Solomon,' replied the little girl, 'was very fond of animals.' * "'And how, my dear,' said the teacher, 'do you make tha$ out?' " 'Because,' answered the little girl, 'the Bible says he had five hundred porcupines.' " A Robber. "Wcrr; you ever confronted by a robber?" "Sure." ' "And did you play the part of a hero?"

I am more convttrced than ever that Washington must have been in the poet's mind because he added the words, "No, not quite, a city where palaces are, is best." One can forget all about t h e heautiful government buildings i n this city, and yet know it as a place "where palaces are."

Here they build beautiful-homes, and here they are more than' content to stay from the early fall days - until the heat of the summer drives them to ,the seashore and the mountains. When a man is elected a senator of the United States and knows that he has six years' lease of offlciallife he Is almost certain either to rent or to buy outright one of the palaces of the city, or if he is morally certain that he is to have two lenses of official life, the chances are that he will build a castle for himself. Foreigners In Washington say that residential sections of that city are the -most beautiful In the world, poverty and wealth appear side by side in the capital of the Union. In seores of the city blocks little frame structures, many of them Bhaky on their foundations, the homes of negroes, stand under the shadow of the marble and granite pal* aces of the rich, so it readily can be seen that the words of the poet, "A city wiiere palaces are Is best," fit the case perfectly. John Hays Hammond was "a classmate at Yale of President Taft. Two* years ago last spring Mr. Hammond developed suddenly ah ambition to be tbe candidate of the Republicans for the office of vice-president of the United States. It was a perfectly worthy ambition of courae; for every American ought to have the right. If he has lived a •qua/e life, to feel a pulsing desire to aerve hi* fellow man In office. Mr. Hammond was not nominated, but has bean in the public eye in Washington only to a leaa extent than he would have been were It he instead of JameaS. Sherman who presides today over the deliberations of the Waited States senate. The city home of Mr. Hammond has a history of some interest. Some years ago Levi P. Morton, who was vicepresident of tbe United States under Benjamitt Harrison, built a great palace-like house on a trlangle of land bordered by Rhode Island avenue, M and Fifteenth atreeta. It is said that this restf dence still belongs to Mr. Morton. It hste been the the scene of official aoclal gatherings uninterruptedly for years. When Mr. Morton retired from the vice-presidency the residence was taken by Count Cassini, the ambassador of the czar of Russia to tbe United States, The Russian and his niece, the Countess Cassini, were great entertainers, and in their residence met the high representatives of all the different departments of government* the twin armed services, and the diplomats from all parts of the world. Tbe Morton house, under the rule of tbe Casslnft, °waa^the; scene of'social activity season after season, tfnen the house passed into the possession gf Elibu Root, secretary of state in Theodore Roosevelt's cabinet. The secretary and his wife are to domesticity Inclined. With the excaptkm of small affairs to which only close frienda were invited, the former home of the Caaslnls saw Uttle gaiety durbatf-the occupancy of the family of the former secretary of state, although there ware certain "official society" affairs which, because of hiscface.in tha a^vtrnroent^ the secretary waa in duty bound to hold and To "countenance. The most interesting gathering, from the Kocial point of view, which th<i old Morton house ever held wa.s ihat of the Invited quests who., cann; to- "Vet 1)or to .witness the •marriage of the only daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Hoot to U. Slmp- KOU Grant III. It was a simple affair, in perfect keeping with the desire of both the bride and 'groom, for joung Grant, who is a subaltern army officer, is of a retiring- disposition, and ..is not given at all to a desire for the social limelight, • either from his own nature or from the fact that he is the grandson and namesake of the great "Silent Soldier ' of the Civil war. When the Root family gave over their lease of the Morton residence John Hays Hammond then took it Up and there he lives today. Levi Z. Letter, now dead, a Chicago multi-millionaire, built one of the most imposing residences which the city of Washington holds. It stands close to Dupont circle, a fashionable residence section, and its front and side grounds are of greater extent than are usually found adjacent to a house In the city where every inch of land costs much money. The widow of Mr. Letter still occupies the great pillared house which her husband built. Within a stone's toss of the loiter residence is the marble Washington home of Mrs. R. M. Patterson, daughter of Joseph Medill, the great editor of the Chicago Tribune. The Patterson house was designed by Stanford White, who was killed by the degenerate Harry £. Thaw In New York city three or four years ago. The design for the Patterson house was one of the last works of tbe great architect. Close to the marble Patterson residence Is the home of William Boardman, his wife and daughters. Tbe Boardmans are Cleveland people. They came here some years ago, as other rich people have done, to twice up their residence and to lead the life of the capital. It Is, however, rather a different life which the Boardmans lead. Miss Mabel Boardman is the chief American spirit In the Red Cross movement. She is devoted to this work, and give* to It the major portion of her time. The Boardman house Is a scene of many gatherings of people, but at least one-half of them have humanltarianism for their object. The Boardman home Is one of the few in Washington which President Taft visits ih a purely Informal way. He "drops in" at Boardman's for afternoon tea or for an^evening call just as he would if he were not president of the United States and therefore bound by strands of the tape of etiquette. The president Is greatly Interested In the work of the Red Cross. He Is the organization's president, as Miss Boardman Is one of its hardest workers and its guiding spirit. There is one home in Washington with which there 4a connected a curious story. It Ia<the Massachusetts avenue residence of Mrsv R. H. Townsend, who Is known in Washington as Mrs. Scott- Townsend. <She is the niece of "Tom" Scott, the Pennsylvania multi-millionaire, who died several -"yefers ago. Mrs, Townsend's only daughter, MathAlde, generally has been pronounced the most beautiful of the young women of the capital city. Rumor connected the daughter "In marriage engagement possibilities" with half a dozen foreigners, all of them wall within tbe titled circle, and one or two of them of the blood royal. The daughter allowed her good sense and bar rare discrimination by marrying an American. Now, aa for the story about the Townaend house, It should be aald that It la of rather grew some interest, lira. Townaend. soma years agp looked at sion, The Octagon house IH one of the historic homes of the District of Cblumbiar- The -chaneea lire /that the spirit of patriotism will sec that the structure'tBTrnWvvvTMfr^fQT^-aH t+rm*; When- th»» Hrlt. ish entered Washington l)olly Madison, tied from the White House just b"fltor&" th« iU'd Coats arrived to apply the torch. Mrs. .Madison went to the Ontagui house, which wan the residence of the Tayloe family. Suddenly she. remembered that tthe Stuart portrait of George Washington had been left hanging on the wall of the White House. She ran back and cut the picture from lis frame and es-. caped with It just as the Iiritish soldiers erfjssed the threshold. On- Sixteenth street, hi'll in Washington is the house known to the populace as Henderson castle. It Is the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Henderson, who have lived in Washington ever slnco Mr. Henderson was, years ago, a Republican senator from the state of Missouri The Henderson house has every appearance of a castle. It is of brown stone, turreted, and it stands on a commanding hill. The Henderson home Is the scene of constant hospitality, and the diplomats representing foreign governments In the capital are frequently dinner guests of the "castle" host and hOBtess. Larz Anderson, a relative of Nicholas Long1- worth, lives on Massachusetts avenue In a huge house about which the "lecturer" on the btg sightseeing automobile calls out Interesting Information to the passengers eight or ten times a day, and the megaphonlc tones of the information giver penetrate to every recess of the Anderson family mansion. The automobile barker tells his bride and groom passengers and other sightseers that 'This Is the Larz Anderson hduse; It has 120 living rooms and GO bathrooms; It Is truly a regal residence." Only the Initiated know how much ©f-a romancer the lecturer is, but in very truth the Anderson residence is as large as an^ ordinary hotel. Mr. Anderson Is forever looking out for novelties, and he has just obtained from the manufacturers an automobile nearly as large as the sightseeing affair which goes crunching by his home every day with the leather-lunged lecturer howling aloft. Should Mr. Anderson or any of the members of his party become hungry on the long stretch of road between inns, all that would be necessary to do is tor push a crank an-mclTTirrd-gtv^^-rrttle--tugr artd out will come a cook stove, a supply of fuel, kettles and pans and a dining-room table. The food is kept In a refrigerator In another part of the machine, and another Uttle tug brings to view spring chickens, ham and eggs, bread and butter, coffee and the rest, As a matter of fact, I^.rz Anderson's automc^ bile Is nothing more or less than a traveling hotel, and at that it is a hotel which makes as fast'^jfp* on the road as is made by any of the automobiles which are guiltless of tavern attachments. The residence of Clifford Pinchot is a mansion. Of course everybody knows that it is Mr. Pinchot who has made the great American fight to save the forests of the country, and It is he who has been one of the two chief'figures In a controversy which led to a congressional investigation, and which In Its first stage led to the separation of the government's chief forester from Uncle Sam's service. The Pinchot residence has large rooms, magnificent staircases, a dining, room which is almost a banquet hall, and a library which for size and for books would suit the service of a city. This home waa not built by the forester; tt is the property of hia mother with whom he lives, for he la a bachelor. Mr. Pinchot makes the trees his closest companions, ^and apparently he loves^them above all other society, although there la a large aoclal element In hia life. The former chief forester of the government fives dinner parties regularly at his residence and fine affairs they are, but it fa known, that, ha prefers the camp fire banquet—whether tt be served In the Dismal awamp of Virginia or i n the mountains of Montana, ~___. $3,50 RECIPE CURES , WEAK KIDNEYS, FREE > • • V _ : <lf RELIEVES URINARY AJJD KIDNEY TROUBLES, B A C K A C H E ^TRAINING, S W E L L I N G , ETC.

The Walkers. James M. Heck, the famous corporation lawyer of New York, is a native of Philadelphia and to Philadelphia he often returns to soo h i s old friends. Mr. Heck, in a recent banquet in Philadelphia, defended corporations with an epigram. • "The trust buster and the Socialist may d o what they please," h e said, "but mankind will still be divided into two great classes—those who walk t o get an ^appetite for their dinner, and those who walk to get a dinner for their appetite."

ECZEMA GONE, BOILS CURED "My son was about three weeks old when I noticed a breukliiK-out on hia cheeks, from which a watery substunce oozed. A short time after, his arms, shoulders and breast broke out also, and in a few days became a solid scab. I became alarmed, and called our family physician, who at. once pronounced the disease eczemas The little fellow wag under hli* treatment for about three moatha. By the end of that time, he s e e m e d no better. 1 beta me discouraged, and aa I had read the advertisement*, of Cuticura Remedies and testimonials of a great many people who had used them with wonderful anccesa, I dropped the doctor's treatment, and commenced t h e use of Cuticura Soap, and Ointment* and in a few days noticed a marked change. The eruptioni o a Ms cheefca was almost healed, and his shoukiera, arms and breast w e r e decidedly bet* ter. When h e w a s about seven months old a l l trace o f t h e eczema was gone. "During hia teething period, hia head and face were broken o u t i n holla which I cured with Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Surely h e muat have been a great sufferer. During the time of teething and from the time I dropped the doctor's treatment, I used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, nothing else, and when~~two> years old he waa the picture of health.

Ctutpuua) $ . • ; • > - NJC of the most interesting exploits of Perclval Nagel—the immaculate, late, the boyish, the exquisite Percy Nagel, of BuBlVants' great agency— was the occasion w h e n , impersonating one of New York's gilded youth, he unraveled the mystery attending the disappearance of an unset diamond of almost fabulous value owned by Mrs. "Barty" Bingham, one of Manhattan's four thousand, a multi- Manhattan's four thousand, a multimillionairess by virtue of copper, coal, oil, and other quite too horrid crude products never mentioned in polite society. ,Mm "Barty" Birfgham—the late lamented Bartholomew had considerately left her a widow, fair, fat, and 40-^-had literally bought her way into the social swim by virtue of lavish entertaining, via a box at the Metropolitan, a mansion in hideously bad taste on Riverside Drive, a ''cottage" at Newport, and a "country place" in the Berk^hires. Herself of the earth earthy, it is perhaps unnecessary to chronicle: that she combined under her exaggerated coiffure all that was offensive to good taste and good manners. Loud of voice, parrot-like in speech, of execrable taste in dress and surroundings, at times profane and positively vulgar, with absolutely no mental resources, and never satisfied unless surrounded by a crowd of sycophants, Mrs. "Barty" existed solely by virtue of her millions. That she spent her money like water on these and their that alio w a a ^ t th.i t Hmii cruel and parsimonious in dealing with her domestics, naturally of a rnean and suspicious disposition, may serve to round out the portrait of a woman who for years was i h e jest, the jokeTand the dupe of^a—certain coterie in the so-called "society" of New York. There be those yet living' who will recognize the type. Yet she had her good points and her generous moments. To Bullivants' agency in the Ifark Row building came—or rather longdistance telephoned—Mrs. Bingham— the, Mrs. Bingham, if you please, in great trouble. So great was the* emergency that none but Bullivants' best and brightest would suffice her needs. It so happened that Percival Nagel of the irreproachable clothes and manners was the only member of the staff on hand who could cope Vlth a case like hers. So he was immediately *i" dispatched to the scene of trouble—a huge, rambling palace some five or six miles outside of Lenox—his only Instructions being that, to disarm suspicion— and scandal—he was to present himself in the guise of a week- . end guest and receive his instructions ^^from the, sorely-harassed chatelaine on his arrival. Fortunately for Percy and for Bullivants tie was used to playing many ••• parts and conld fill the role of idle exquisite to perfection. He knew just what to do and how and when to do ^v^W^IUwiSveB to snubbing and Insulting the He had got thus far in his mental cataloguing when the lady spoke: "You are Mr. Tv'agel? Yes. Well, Mr. —er—Nagel—there's been a most unpleasant er—occurrence here concerning which—er—I—er desiah no publicity, you understand, but which —er—I want cleared up and —er—the guilty persons punished." She did not explain how the guilty were to be punished without publicity, but Nagel let that pass, merely saying: ^ f you will acquaint me with the facts, Mrs. Bingham, 1 shall be in a position to understand and advise." "You're a detective, ain't you?" inquired the mistress of "The Boulders," dropping into the vernacular when she "ran" an eating-house in Kokomo. "Sometimes we are called that," Nagel responded gently. "Well, then, see what you can make of this: You must know that "my late husband was partial to precious stones. Jest before he died he bought an' gave me a very swell stone—a di'mond—'most as big as a pigeon's egg, and worth all of $50,0,00. 1 never had it set, 'cause some day 1 thought I might pick up its mate, an' then if wearin' eardrops came into fashion I'd have a pair, you see. Well, Mr. Nagel, the night before last while we was all at dinner somebody started V talk about di'mocds. My niece, very foolishly, mentioned my big di'mond, an' nothin' would do but 1 must have it down to show 'em. So, I sent my maid to get it out of the safe. I always kep' it in its own case, you know, an' it was passed round the table from one end to the other, up one side an' down again. Fin'lly It came back to me, an' I shut the lid an' laid the case by my plate.

For Nagel liked a joke. However, counsels prevailed^ and he anthe sacred region by way of rkebire Express, carrying his well-filled suit-case containing Waning that the most supercilious teuld possibly expect, from 4» Tuxedo—several changes . - at "The Boulders'* about # • * etekxk rot a Saturday, he was tway shown to his room, where nged, bathed, and otherwise >£v4SJMNs£ -Enough the motions commonly Atgrtbed to those who move in American upper (Circles, whether they need ;*t «r not Then, after the prescribed ..decent interval, there came a m«s» ^sage from Mrs. "Barty'* Bingham her- ||#sft tfkst lbs would he pleased to ..v. isesj Urn to the "morning-room"—for you must know that Mrs. Bingham patterned feenasU and her household after wfeet she supposed the English isadsd gentry would do or say. 84, triifc * preteraeturally solemn < face, Mr. Ferelval Nagel followed his j conductor and shortly tfound himself lp the presence 6t his whilom hosteslT was inspects* him through m told sad Jeersjed lorgnette, although <£** eyaeigfet was warrwsted to eaten 1a derelict housemaid at 40 rods. / ' Nagei's mental and monosyllabic comment* w ^ somewhat to this ef- 1&t&y* - .. 7 r • W-; * . , .Tugfcl Fat«- blowsy — mean — up- ^totrtw-parvear>--toadr «•» jgapictovsS--' »itthe lady closely, "I want you to tell me if there is anyone you suspect? Remejnber, we expect the fullest confidence from our clients. Otherwise we can promise no results. You may rely upon my discretion." Mrs. Bingham grew positively chalklike under hex make-up. "Must T answer that question. Mr. Nagel?" she inquired, hoarsely. "Unless you want me to drop the case here and now, Mrs. Bingham," was the merciless rejoinder. » "Oh—how can 1—I'm sure I don't know—but—it was so queer, you know—and—" "Any of the servants?" Nagel put in. She shook her head while dabbing at her eyes with a four-inch square of cambric. "Then it must have been—" ' "Hush, for pity's sake," she implored, looking around and out of tho open! window. "1 thought—it might have been—oh. how can 1 say it?— either Sir Nigel Deeriug or my own niec?! There!" ''But why?" persisted her inquisitor. "Because—oh/—well, because they are both poor, Mr. Nagel! And—and —I think he wants to marry her, and —perhaps she wanted to help him! And if that's «o, I'd have done anything for them"!" Her voice had sunk to a hoarse whisper during the delivery of this wholly illogical and purely-feminine supposition, and she had leaned toward him -in her agitation, her jellylike figure all a-quiver with emotion. "But you won't let it go any further, Mr. Nagel^" she implored. "You may trust my discretion to the uttermost, Mrs. Bingham. I understand your chief desire is to recover the diamond. After that—" in a mist of conjecture, and the lady's nerves Buffered accordingly. She would have liked to demand a further explanation, but there was an undefinable something about the slender, youthful-looking sleuth from Bullivants which warned her that he must be allowed to follow his chosen tactics without Inquisitive interference. So the much worried hostess repressed her curiosity, and awaited the march of events with patient resignation. * Among his many other valuable mental qualities, Mr. Perclval Nagel might be said to possess in an uncommon degree the faculty which has been termed "the leaping mind." for want of a better name. Over and over again had the value of this unique trait been proved at the very outset of many cases in which he had been engaged. In this instance, however, he found himself confronted with a case where some scientific knowledge was badly needed as well as intuition. The problem of Mrs. Bingham's solitare required the exercise of both these qualities—and the Bullivant expert was fortunately not lacking in either. A short conversation during the following Sunday with Miss Marcia Inness, niece of Mrs. Bingham, and a few words exchanged with Sir Nigel Deerlng, carried sufficient weight with Nagel to eliminate both these suspects from the purely-criminal aspect of the case, in his opinion. I^ater, when, although-it was Sunday night, bridge and music engrossed the attention of most of the guests, he managed to secure a few minutes' tete-a-tete with the girl. "You know, Miss Inness," he began without formal preamble, "that 1 am gaged," B^e~*^iurmured. "He la a splendid English gentlemaV" she added, with girlish enthusiasm. "We were going to tell Aunt Laura the very night she missed the diamond, but she was no upset that there was no opportunity then or sinco.7 Percy Nagel had heard about\all he needed to confirm his belief/nevertheless one link in his chaitf oi evidence remained to be forged\^So, late as it was, he asked to be driven to the nearest telegraph office, where he tiled the following laconic dispatch to Griff an y's in New York: "Wire full pedigree of Brazilian diamond sold to late Bartholomew Bingham." By 11 o'clock Monday morning the reply was in his hands, and his ease was complete. Most of the guests were on the links or out motoring, so he lost no time in requesting an interview with the portly chatelaine of "The Boulders." She received him In her own special boudoir. "I am happy to inform you. Mrs. Bingham, that the mystery attending the disappearance of your solitaire is solved. There was no theft, no loss, as we usually understand the term, and consequently neither your guests nor your servants—nor anyone else, for that matter—need be under suspicion." "Then what—?" MrB. Bingham was beginning when he interrupted. "If you will pardon me I can make the matter clear in a very few words. You are simply the victim of a freak of nature!" This was anything but a lucid statement to a lady of Mrs. Bingham's modest mental caliber, and Nagel watched her facial surprise with twinkling eyes. , v S3! CHOOSING A j GIFT j * • • • • • • • • • • • • - • - • ' • * " S ^ ' * - < • Alter ia bit i told Celeste-—that's «my maM^-to take th' thing upstairs an' put it away. Thinks I to myself, I'd take a looje^at the beauty before it went, so T snapped back th' lid. True as I'm settin' an' breathin' here this minute, Mr. Nagel, th' stone was gone! There was nothin' Inside but th' crimson plush Ilnin'!" "And then what happened?" queried Nagel, as the short-breathed narrator paused, her fat bosom palpitating and she herself hgarse with emotion. '%. "Why, th' whole table was in an uproar. My guests felt dreadfully. Bein' a lady, I accused no one, of course—but some one took that di'mond, Mr. Nagel, an' I want to know who It was pretty quick!" "You are sure the stone was in the box when it came back to you after going the rounds of the table?" "If it was ray last dying word I'd swear to it," was the agitated answer. "How many were at table, not counting the servants, of course?" "Let me see," and Mrs. Bingham began counting on her plump and hideously bejeweled fingers. "Why— er—we sat down 18 all told." "Yes. And who was the last person who handled the box and the stone before it was returned to you?" "Tffat'e- the most awful part of th' whole thing, Mr. Nagel," returned his hostess, lowering her voice and almost whispering. "Sir Nigel Deering occupied the place of honor on my right hand. It was him who handed the box to me with one of his bee-yu-tlful bows. It would mortify me to death even to hint that he knew anything about it." "What did your guests say and do?" "Why they all jumped up an' pushed their chairs back an' began to hunt for the stone. But I knew that was no use—'cause I'd seen it in th' box when It came back to me, an' so I told 'em. Then some of the men —oh, they all acted like perfect gentlemen— laughed and tried to joke it off, an' said we'd ought to close the doors and search every one present. An' would you belHfre it, Sir Nigel Deer ing behaved just noble—said that he'd volunteer to be th' first one!" "And was the suggestion carried out?" queried Nagel, gently. For despite Jhe inherent vulgarity of his hostess and employer, he somehow could not help liking her. "Why, Mr. Nagel, of course not!" came the surprised ejaculation. "1 hope I know my duties to my guests. Mot for a dosen such dl'monds would I s o Insult them—particularly Sir Nigel. 'Course, I laughed It off— said I guessed th' maids 'd find it in th' mornin' when they swep*. an' turned.It off like that But true as I sit here, Mr. Nagel, I haven't alep' a win* thtakin' of it! I don't wish any scandal or sny horrid talk, bui I do want my di'mond back." "Who suggested your application to my Arm?' was Nsgel's next Query. Again Mrs. "Barty" lowered her voice. "It wss 8lr Nigel Deerlng," she confessed. "Said he'd hesrd of you in London/'' , Percy nodded, rejecting that might very well be the. esse, and also that the suggestion 'shows* the baronet j o b * well posted,id-#ucb matters. "Now, Mrs. Bingham," he resumed, 'speaking very earnestly and eyeing "Good morning. I am looking for 'The Rose-Colored. World' in a pretty binding. Will you—" "Oh, you are just the floorwalker. I took you for a book clerk, you had such a knowing air. It must be very difficult to know all the authors audv the color of the bindings they use. Please direct me to a clerk who will understand what a man like Henry, my husband, would care to read, although I think I Bhall by 'The Hose- Colored World,' for it has such a pretty title. "Thank you. I'll wait for that goodlooking young man who is attending to the fidgety old person. -Yes, Mr. Clerk, I am waiting. 1 am glad you are ready at last, for I was beginning to have doubts aa to what I want to get for my husband. There are so many to choose from. I want something suitable for a gentleman who is very intellectual, so you must take lots of trouble to show me the very beBt. "I'll give you an idea of what I want.

Better; wrap it up, however, so that the servants won't suspect" Mrs. "Barty" nodded comprehension, and really seemed to feel better now that the case was in capable hands. Within 15 minutes the morocco-covered and plush-lined case bearing the mark of a famous New York firm was handed through the door, swathed in three or four papers, by Mrs. Bingham's own maid, Celeste. Nagel locked his door and set about examining the nest which had so recently contained a treasure worth 150,000. He scrutinized it inside and out, particularly the inside, under a powerful lens, and tben tossed the case oo the bed with a contemptuous —"1 thought so." The exact trend of his thoughts, however, was ooly partially divulged by a few words which he whispered to Mrs. "Barty," after he had taken carefnl notice of each guest at dinner. The hostess had glanced at him evening, and Nagel seized the opporanxiously several times during the tunity, as a general exodus toward the card>room and bridge „ whist was" in progress, to say quietly: "I very much doubt whether your diamond was stolen after air!" • Although meant to reassure her, Nagel's vague remark merely sufficed to set Mrs. "Barty's" mind wandering deeply interested in the lo3s of your aunt's diamond?" "I guessed as much," replied the girl, demurely. "Then perhaps you can also divine that I should highly appreciate any Information you can give me," he said, courteously, for the girl's_evident innocence and blonde loveliness appealed to every masculine which he possessed. "I can only tell you what 1 saw with my own eyes, Mr. Nagel," she answered, meeting his gaze so frankly that Bullivant's man hoped from the bottom of his soul that she had "There Is no reason to doubt that you yourself were the last person to see and handle the stone on the eventful night when- it disappeared," he went on. coolly ignoring the signs of wonder In the lady's puffy eyes. "Rut what happened after Sir Nigel Deerlng handed the stone to you I am about to describe The diamond was a Brazilian stone. I have ascertained. Now.

"Oh. Mr. Nagel!" exclaimed Mrs, Bingham, 'it wasn't the value of the stone, though of course, one hates to lose anything so valuable.

"There has been considerable IpssT among turkeys in Colorado this fall from black head, or what is scientifically known as Entero-hepatitis. The name black head was given because the head is supposed to turn purple when the turkey is attacked by the disease. This we have found not always to be true. The name Entero-hepatitis was given ou account of the greater diseased areas occurring in the intestines and liver. X^g, disea.se Is caused by a single celled animal parasite called Amoeba meleagridis. The germ, or protozoa, is taken into tho body through the food, or water, and becomes lodged in the mucous membrane of the caecum, or blind gut. Here it produces thickening of the wall, due to inflammation, and later, ulceration. The liver becomes Infected, and the infected areas, the liver cells, are destroyed, In a turkey dead of the disease the liver is enlarged up to more than twice its normal size. Over the surface will be noted whit- IBII or yellowish green areas. These represent the areas of dead1 tissue. Treatment.—This consists principally in preventing the spread of the disease; when a bird.has developed the disease there is no known cure. The premises should be as thoroughly cleaned as possible and all rubbish burned. Then, disinfection, as far as possible, with a five per cent, solution of carbolic acid, or creolin. Sick turkeys should be isolated and not allowed to run around and spread the germs of the disease, and thus be the cause of others becoming infected. As there is no known cure for the dis- , ease, the turkey had better be killed and the body cremated. Feed should be given in troughs, rather than thrown on the infected ground, and thus Increase the danger of infection. The watering troughs Bhould be enameled so that they can be thoroughly cleaned morning and night. An intestinal antiseptic should be gtven in the water. One teaspoonful of dilute hydrochloric acid to each quart of water, or one teaspoonful of the crystals permangnate of potash to the ten quart bucket of water, may be given. By Using Rough Perches and Painting Killer on Top and Bottom W i l l Prove Effective Cure. (By R. G. WEATHERSTONE.) We have found it much easier to destroy lice and mite3 when we use 2x4 perches. These are strong and the flat surface will hold quite a quantity of the louse killer, which is painted on the top and bottom of the perob.es every few days during the summer. This will usually destroy the lice If it is attended to regularly, but If the hen house is an old one and polluted with lice by all means spray every crack and corner with the liquid lice destroyer. The house should not be closed up tight while the fowls are in it immediately after using the lice killer, or the fumes will likely injure them. The red mites are one of the worst peBts and painting the perches with the liquid louse killer will usually* destroy them at the same time. In the day time they may be found on the under side of the perches and under boards and la all cracks- and crevices but during the night they "Come out and sap tne irrebioocT out of the fowls.

OSBORN HAS NEW SCHEME Bclievs He Has Discovered Way to Get Rid of Recess Appointees. Gov. Osbom is preparing to shatter the validity of ex-Gov, Warner's recess appointments. The rumor that the governor was thought to have a card up his sleeve set everyone rustling to find the statutes bearing upon recess appointments and they found the following eye-opener in section 1171: "All officers appointed by tho governor during the recess of th« .legiilaturo shall continue to execute tho duties of their respective offices nntil the close of the next succeeding1 session, unless others shall be appointed in their •stead by competent authority and shall have entered uoon the discharge of their respective d u t * ies." Th~ reading of this statute is very plain. No reference is made to the confirmation of recess appointees by the state senate and it specifically states how long they shall continue to hold office. It would s e e m that the senate has nothing to do in determining the status of recess appointments, although it has always been the custom for the chief executive to send in the names of all recess appointments for- confirmation.

It is a charm that does not pass away. The pretty chignon of puffs an<? curls shown here dresses the hair completely. One has only to wave the front hair and place the remainder ir a coil, or two, at the back of the head to make ready for the chignon. Ar range the front hair in a part or a pompadour and pin on the chignon. The puffs and curls next the head should be pulled out and made a little fluffy and then pinned down close* ly. Of course, the hair of the chignon must match the hair of the wearer exactly. Once become the owner of such a convenience and the habit of wearing the pinned on coffure is fixed:—for it is the greatest of beautiflers and the best of time-savers. JULIA* BOTTOMLEY.

A dainty little pillpw for king baby can be made with very little work. Cut from dotted swiss to fit an oblong pillow about 16 by 12 inches, then cover with pink, blue or pale green satin. Wash silk can. be used for the covering, and It can be taken off and washed very "easily. The dots on the swiss are of a size smaller than coin spots. The- very small dots are also quite pretty. The cover is sewed up at the sides and left open at the ends. Each end and around the corners to the edge of the pillow is marked with a small sqallop and worked in buttonholing, eitfier-in white mercerized cotton or in a tone to match the lining. Eyelets are worked across each end, two i»ehes from the scallops, or, where the pillow ends. The cover can be laced on with white baby ribbon, which has a rosette at each of the corners, or -caaThe__Ued in small bows.

Each man, makes his heaven —each man makes his hell. Each man knows' when and where he is right, just as, he knows when and where he is wrong.

In the lavatories of 'the shops it is an every hour occurrence to see some pretty lady primping a bit with her chignon removed to be pinned on in a minute. In fact the chignons are a blessing.

Broom Pincushion. A.very dainty novelty is the broom pincushion. For this you will require a large flat, cork, a meat skewer {a new one, of course) and a few yards of baby ribbon in some bright -shade. Cut a small hole ln~44*e conf^-and insert the skewer firmly through it. Now wind ske.wer and cork together with the ribbon until they are entirely covered. The bows on the skewer will hold the ribbon tight so far. The broom effect you win gain by the pins; they must be driven thickly into the under side of the cork, holding the ribbon at that, point and at the same time giving a very good imitation of a tiny metal broom. These make very nice favors at inforrnal parties, club meetings, etc. PRETTY IDEA FOR EGG COSY Simple Design Worked In Beads is Decoration for One Shown In Illustration.

Powerful Weapon Brought to Bear in the ;Fig)j.t 'Aga»n«t TU|jei*- cuio»is. Just how serious a problem tuberculosis is to the average church, and in just what ways pastors are called upon to minister to those suffering from this d-sease, is the subject of an investigation which the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis is conducting in connection with its plans for Tuberculosis day on April 30. Statistics are being gathered. from thousands of ministers regarding this subject, and among other figures the number of deaths last year from tuberculosis in the church congregation will be given. It is planned to place these statistics, together with other educational material, in the hands of every minister in the country for his use in connection with Tuberculosis day. Millions of circulars, and pamphlets- on the prevention of tuberculosis will also be issued, both from the national office and from the headquarters of the 450 anti-tuberculosis associations who will co-operate in the movement.

There's no rest or peace for the man or woman who has a badjback. The distress begins in early morning. You feel lame and not refreshed. It's hard to get out of bed. It hurts to stoop to tie your shoes. All day the ache keeps up. Any sudden movement sends sharp twinges through the back. It is torture to stoop and straighten. At night the sufferer retires to toss and twist and grown. Backache is kidney ache—a throbbing, dull aching in the kidneys. Plasters or liniments won't do. You must get at the cause, inside.

The Dispatch joins with their many friends in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Ratz many happy days of wedded life. i Opportunity of 15 Y e a r s - Did you ever fail to seize an opportunity? To do so is but human. But why! Simply because you failed at that time to see it as an opportunity. Thus reason for so many, "wish I bad's and kindred pointers to past mistakes. How do you reason matters later? Does the average man say, "I missedan opportunity once so I will never try for another?" No! He profits by experience and says next time," I will nail fast'to this opportunity now, while I have the chance." Take for example during the ,pAftt,iew years, it is safe to say that" nine out, of ag^ry tQn m^n OBITUARY have more than once wished for a Livingston County Atlas. And would have gladly paid well for one, when, farm lands, roads and local features were in question. None were for sale, and few to borrow; to get one was an opportunity ot the past. Fifteen years after the appearance of the atlas comes the announcement of a new map. One far more accurate, more substantial, handier, complete with an index and directory, at less than one fiftkthe cost,guaranteed, sold and delivered to you by well known local men. What are you going to do? Will you make some excuse and tide along for close onto another scoreof years, wanting and waiting for another opportunity for the sake of $2.85- Consider carefully; act now, and see to it that the map represenative who gets the corrections on your farm does not get away without your order. Don't again "snap your fingers in the face of real opportunity." Don't wait but see. that you give your order for the map now. 3E S e p t . a©. 1839—Jan. 2 7 , 1911 Once more we are called upon to chronacle the death of one of Putnam's native born sons,/the' subject of this sketch, Robert.

The autumn and winter ara the seasons when many boys hunt or shoot a great deal, says the Omaha Bee. This should be the time, then, for the reiteration of that old warning about the "I-dida't-know-it-was-loaded" accident Hoys should be careful with their shooting irons, and never fail to know whether they are loaded or not. Two boys were out shooting a few days ago and one, thinking his gun was empty, aimed it at the other and pulled the trigger.~The other dropped dead. "I didn't know It was loaded," wailed the one who killed him, echoing the wail of scores of others who had at sometime been as criminally negligent as himself. No boy or man has a right to aim a firearm at another person, and when he does it, whether barin comes of it or not, he should be made to feel that he has done something he should not. Parents can well afford to deny guns and pistols to their boys until they have reached such ages as will make them capable of realizing their dangers. I! they must have guns, they should be cautioned against carelesB use of them. It/ sometimes seems trite to speak of warning boys against such things, but If they were warned often enough such distressing accidents would be fewer, LINE P F i FIGHT V / E T S F O B C E T H E .

That smoky town has an ambition to reach ' the 1,000,000 mark in population, and is bending every effort in t h a t direction. For one thing, Pittsburg is pushing the project for a ship canal from that city. to Lake Erie, by which it is hoped to increase still further the already great industrial activity of that district. Other schemes include a big rapidtransit system, with subway attachments, bringing~?Various points into easier reach; "expansion, and educational and other numerous -improve ments designed to increase the attractiveness and convenience of the city and its environs.

Michigan's fourth annual county local option campaign, and what advocates say will be the most bitterly fought in the history of the movement in this state will start Feb. a, when dry leaders will man CO Detroit pulpitis in animal appeal tbr funds. Election day—First Monday in April. In wet county of Montmorency apJ peal has been made to supreme court from decision of circuit judge ordering submission of local option to vote at spring election. Drys will got decision on issue in t'me for vote. Drys have blocked resubmission ef; forts of wets this spring in following dry counties: Kalkaska, Charlevoix, Alcona, Gratiot—4. Large cities involved in vote this spring are: Jackson, population, ?">,- 000; Flint, population, :18,000: Battle Creek, population, 2o,2C7; Kalamazoo, population, 45,000. Jackson, Flint and Battle Creek are In t!ry counties-atpresent. Kalamazoo is-a license town where, it is claimed, the saloon element is strong and excise regulation has been lax. Cost of campaign this year will be not far from a million of dollars. Drys claim they will make the wets alone spend this amount. The cost of the campaign last year when wets carried ill and the drys 20 Michigan counties?- was approximately a half million! dollars, the wets winning back the e*4ies of Cadillac and Pontiac. after., a strenuous campaign in which expensive spellbinders like former Gov. Peck and ex-Mayor Rose, oj^AVigconsin. and former United States Senator Towne, of Minnesota, were here in the wet interest.

Mention has been made of the fact that there are now in the United States 50 cities with a population of 100,000 or more, a notable gain in ten years/ as there were but 38 such cities in 1900. Now the census bureau, having compiled the returns, announces that, there are in this country 19 cities with a population reaching or exceeding 250,000. In 1900 there were -15 towns included in that class. From this it- appears that, while there has been . marked gain in many cities, largo* and small, the proportion has been greatest among municipalities of moderate size. Also they do some things better In Germany. A reckless chauffeur who killed an American woman when he ran Into a crowd of theatergoers has been sent to the* penitentiary for 15 months.

If t h e poets can manage to get through t h l i winter there may be a chance for some of them, after all. A New York boy is to have a legacy of $10,000 provided he does not enter the ministry.

IffkMr I cattck it the better I" Caught 1» the swirl of the busy city's mMday rush, engulfed Jn Broadway's swift moving flood of hustling --hnmanlty-r Jostled unceremoniously by the careless, Indifferent crowds, discouraged from stemming further the tide of pushing, elbowing men and women who hurried up and down the great thoroughfare. Howard Jeffries, tired and hungry and thoroughly disgusted with himself, stood still at the corner of Pulton street, cursing the luck which had brought him to his present plight. l r w a s the noon hour, the important time of day when nature loudly claims her due, when business affairs, no matter how pressing, must be temporarily interrupted so that the human machine may lay hua--fresh, store of nervous energy. From uader the portals of precipitous office buildings, mammoth hires of human Industries, which to right and toft soared dizsily .from street to sky, swarmed thousands of employes of both sexes— clerks, stenographers, shop girls, messenger boys—all moved by a common impulse to satisfy without further delay the animal cravings of their physical natures. They strode along with quick, nervous step, each chatting and laughing with his fellow, interested for the nonce in the day's work, ma- ,Jkttt.g; plans for well-earned recreation when five o'clock should come and the uptoWn stampede for Harlem and liome begin. The young man sullenly watched jthe scene, envious of the energy and activity of all about him. -Each uiiu \ \ - : > • * • In these hurrying throngs, he thought bitterly to himself, was a valuable unit in the prosperity and welfare of the b!g town. No matter how humble his or - her position, each played a part In the business life of the great city, each was an unseen, unknown, yet indispensable cog in the whirling, complicated mechanism of the vast World metropolis. Intuitively he felt that he was not one of them, that he had no right even to consider himself their equal. He was utterly" useless to anybody. He was without position or money. He was destitute even of a shred of self-re3pect. Hadn't he promised Annie not to touch .liquor again before he found a job? Yet he , had already imbibed Itll tfce~~"whisky which the little money left.in his pocket would buy. Involuntarily, instinctively, he shrank back into the shadow of a doorway to let the crowds pass. The pavements were now filled to oversowing and each moment newcomers titans' the side streets came to swell list human stream. He tried to avoid ifceetwation, fearing that some one Bright recognize him, thinking all could read on his face that he was a sot, a self-confessed failure, oae of life's incompetents. In his painful •elf-consciousneas he believed himself the cynosure of every eye and he winoed as he thought he detected on certain faces side glances of curiosity, commiseration and contempt. Nor was he altogether mistaken. More thin one passer-by turned to look in his direction, attracted by his peculiar appearance. His was a type not seen every day ln*the com- •srcial district—the post-graduate collage man out at elbows. He was smooth-faced and apparently about 26 years of age. His complexion was fair and his face refined. It would have been handsome but for a droopfnjk, irresolute mouth, which denoted ' iMemtban average weakness of charejsjtf, T%» faoe was thin, chalk-like tavlp Jtck of color and deeply seamed v««fh the tell-tale lines of dissipation. ,rk circles under, his eyes and a uliar watery -took suggested late and ovarfondness for alcoholic freshmeat.

It was all a matter of heredity and influence. One's vices as well as one's virtues are handed down to us ready made. He had no doubt that in the Jeffries family somewhere in the unsavory past there had been a weak, vicious ancestor from whom he had inherited all the traits which barred his way to success. The crowds of hungry workers grew bigger every minute. Every one was elbowing his way into neighboring restaurants, crowding the tables and buffets, all eating voraciously aa they talked and laughed, Howard was rudely reminded by inward pangslhat he, too, was famished. Not -a' thing bad passed his lips since he had left home in Harlem at eight o'clock that morning and he had told Annie that he would be home for lunch. There was no use staying downtown any longer. For three weary hours he had trudged from office to office seeking employment, answering advertisements, asking for work of any kind, ready Jo do no matter what, but all to no purpose. Nobody wanted him at any price. What was the good of a man being willing to work tf there waa no one to employ him? A nice look-out certainly. Hardly a dollar left and no prospect of getting any more. He hardly had the courage to return home and face Annie. With a muttered exclamation of impatience he spat from his mouth the half-consumed cigarette, which was hanging from his Up, and crossing Broadway, walked listlessly in ths direction of Park place. He had certainly made a mess of things, yet at ode time, not ao, long ago, what a brilliant future life seemed to have in store for him! No boy had ever been given a .better start. He remembered the day he left home to go to Tale; he recalled his father's kind words of encouragement, his mother's tears. Ah, If his mother had only lived! Then, maybe, everything would have been different. But she died during his freshman year, carried off suddenly .by heart failure. His father married again, a young woman 20 years his Junior, and that had started everything off wrong. The old home life had gone forever. He had felt like an intruder the first time he went home and from that day his father'a roof had been distasteful to him. Yes, that was the beginning of'his hard luck. He could trace all his misfortunes back to that. He couldn't stand for stepmother, a haughty, selfflsh, supercilious, ambitious creature who had little sympathy for her predecersor's child, and no scruple in showing it.... Then, at college, he had met Robert Underwood, the popular upper classman, who had professed to take a [great fancy to him. He, a timid young freshman, was naturally nattered by the friendship of, the dashing, faecinat- ] the' decree and he had sever seen his ing sophomore and thus commenced j/father atnee. face, was standing at the news stand under the Park place elevated station. Quickly Howard extended his hand. "Hello, Coxe!" he exclaimed. "What on earth arejyou doing in Now York? Whoever wbuld have expected to meet you in'this howling wilderness? How's everything at Yale?" The athlete grinned. "Yale be hanged! I don't care a d—. You know I graduated last June. I'm invbu8inoss noW—in a broker's office in >Vall street. Say, it's great! We had^a semi-panic last week. Prices went to the devil. Stocks broke 20 points. You should have seen the excitement on the exchange floor. Our football rushes were nothing to it. I tell you, it's great. It's got college beaten to a fraczle!" Quickly he added: "VVha^t 'are you doing?" Howard averted his eyes and hung his head. "Nothing," he answered gloomily. COM had Quickly taken not e of his former classmate's shabby appearance. He had also heard of his escapades. "Didn't you hear?" muttered Howard. "Row with governor, raantif •* and all that sort of thing? Of course," he went on. "father's dan*hably unjust, actuated by absurd prejudice. Annie's a good girl and a good wife, no matter what her father was. D—n it, this is a free country! A man can mnrry. whom he likes. All these ideas about family pride and family honor are old world notions, foreign to this soil. I'm not going to give up Annie to please any one.

At no* time overfond of study, he regarded residence in college as a most desirable emancipation from the restraint of home life. Tljejove of books he considered a pose and he scoffed at the men who took their reading seriously. The university attracted him mostly by its most undesirable features," its sports, its secret societies, its petty oWques, and its rowdyism. The broad spirit and the dignity of the alma mater he ignored completely. Directly he went to Yale he started in to enjoy himself and with the sophisticated Undarwood as guide, went to the devil faster than any man before him in the entire history of the university. Reading, attendance at lectures, became only a convenient cloak to conceal his turpitudes. Poker playing, automobile joy rides, hard drinking became the daily curriculum. In town rows and orgies of every description he was soon a recognized leader. Scandal followed scandal until he was threatened with expulsion. Then his father heard of it and there was a terrible scene. Jeffries, Sr., went immediately to New Haven and there followed a stormy Interview in which Howard promised to reform, but once the parent's back was turned things went on pretty mu^h as before. There were fresh scandals, the smoke of which reached as far aa New Tork. This time Mr. Jeffries tried the plan of cutting down the money supply and Howard; found himself financially em-, barrassed. But this had not quite the effect desired by the father, for, rendered desperate by hie inability to secure funds with which to carry pn iiis sprees, the young man started in to gamble heavily, giving notes for his losses and pocketing the ready money when he won. Then came the supreme scandal which turned his father'a heajt to steel. Jeffries, Sr., could forgive much in a young man. -He had been young himself once. None knew better than he how difficult it is when the blood is rich and red to keep oneself in control. But there was one offence which-a-man proud of his descent could not condone. He would never forgive the staining of the family name by a degrading marriage. The news came to the unhappy father like a thunder-clap. Howard, probably in a drunken spree, had married secret a waitress employed in one of^the "sporty" restaurants In New Haven, and to make the mesalliance/worse, the girl was not even of respectable parents. Her-* father, BiUy Delmore, the poolroom king, war a notorious gambler and had djtfd in convict sTrtpes. Fine lenwrflon that for the yellow press. "Banker's Son Weds Convict's Daughter." So ran the "scare headjr in the newspapers. That was Che last straw for Mr. Jeffries, S r . / H e sternly told his son that aga^jT. Howard bowed his head to reviewhlsvefrteudly ing la his mind flections were hail. • •'..J^UWfa-ft "Hello, Jeffries/ oTf WM Boat I m know a follow fre#s*ssa.you tot M B T . fit leaked «9.

We've managed t o ' ^ i up a small flat in Harlem and now, like Micawber, I'm waiting for something to turn up." Coxe nodded sympathetically. "Come and have a drink," lie said cheerily. Howard hesitated. Once more he remembered his promise to Annie, but as long as he had broken it once he would get no crodit for refusing now. He wa3 horribly thirsty - and depressed, Another drink would chetr him up. It seemed even wicked to decline when it wouldn't cost him anything. They entered a bar conveniently close at hand, and with a tremulous hand Howard carried greedily to his lips the insidious liquor which had undermined his health and stolen away his manhood. "Have another?" said Coxe with a smile as he saw the glass emptied at a gulp. "I don't care if I do," replied Howard. Secretly ashamed of his weakness, he shuffled aneasfly on his feet. "Well, what are you going to do, old man?" demanded Coxe aa he pushed the whisky bottle over. "I'm looking for a Job," stammered Howard awkwardly. Hastily he went on: "It Isn't so easy. If it was only myself I wouldn't mind. I'd get along somehow. But there's the little girl. She wants to go to work, and I wont hear of it. I couldn't stand for that, you know." Coxe feared a" "touch." Awkwardly he said: •• (TO BE CONTIgr.UKp.) 7 Illusions. • It Is true we labor under many illusions, but If these were to be done away with we should hardly deem It worth our while to labpf at all.

The Marietta Han Been in Honduran Waters During the Bonilla Revolution. With nine men aboard ill, possibly with yellow fever, the American gunboat Marietta has arrived at Key West, Fla. .She sailed from Central American waters under orders from the navy department, which were issued as soon a« the officials were advised that the stricken men were suspected of having yellow fever. It is now suspected that the death of Coxswain Minor, ot the Marietta. a few days ago possibly was caused by yellow fever. Originally the belief was expressed that the coxswain died of dengue fever. There are about 1,10 men aboard the Marietta. It is explained by the navy department that the Marietta was ordered to Key West because the public health and marine hospital service* lias a hospital at Dry Tortugas, off the coast of Florida, Weally adapted to the isolation of the patients and the treatment of the disease if it develops it is yellow fever. None of the officera.. of the. vessel lias yet been seized by the il!ne3s, so far as the; department is advised. The medical: officers on board the Marietta, it is said, undoubtedly will be' able to diagnose the disease before the vessel reaches Key West. The navy department was advised of the illness among the crew of the American vessel in a wireless dispatch received from Commander Cooper of the Marietta, it. is not certain that the disease is yellow feve?-, and the naval officer in his report specifically stated that the outbreak was only suspected of being the dread malady. The department was unwilling to take any chances ah(Y for that reason immediately ordered-.-tlta.vessel to an American port where the proper measures could be taken for the treatment of the strickm seamen and the prolectiQiL- Qi the remainder of the crew. i ne departure oiL the MurlullM from Honduran waters will not materially •Effect the necessary n^-val representation of the United States in Central America in connection with the Honilla revolution, as the gunboat Wheel* ing is now on the way to Puerto Cprtez.

The business of the department was lax. Insurance was easy. Statistics were not in demand. History was dead. Old Kauffman, the efficient and perpetual clerk, had requested' an infrequent half-holiday, incited to the unusual dissipation by the joy of having successfully twisted the tafl of a Con- Tom, -Green county was once -the stand- 1 n^tinut ^..,,, ,,,,,,^ ^rnpwwy that was aid Of measurement. I have forgotten how many New Jerseys and Rhode Islands it was that could have been •towed away and lost in its chaparral. But the legislative ax has Blashed Tom Green into a handful of counties hardly larger than European kingdoms. The legislature convenes at Austin, near the center of the state; and, while the representative from the Rio Grande country Is gathering his palm-leaf fan and his linen duster to set out tor the capital, the Panhandle solon winds his muffler above his well-buitoned overcoat and kicks the snow from his well greasedbootsready- for t h e same Journey. AH this merely to hint that the big ex-republic of the southwest forms a sizable star on the flag, and to prepare for the corollary that things sometimes happen there uncut to pattern and unfettered by metes and bounds. The commissioner of insurance, statistics and history of the state of Texas was an official of no very great or very small importance. The past tense is used, for he is commissioner of insurance atone; Statistics and history are no longer proper nouns in the government records. In the year 188— the governor appointed Luke Coonrod Standifer to be head of this department. Standifer was then flity-nve_years of age, and a Texan-to'the core. His father had been otr^r'nf the state's earliest flpttlprw and #.' r. ((-,((.¾. pioneers. Standifer himself had served the commonwealth as Indian fighter, soldier, ranger and legislator. Much learning he did not claim, but he had drank pretty deep of the spring of experience. If other grounds were less abundant, Texas should be well up In the lists of glory as the grateful republic. For both as republic and state, it has busily heaped honors and solid rewards upon its sons who rescued it from the wilderness. Wherefore and therefore, Luke Coonrod Standifer, son of Ezra Standifer, ex-Terry ranger, simon-pure Democrat, and lucky dweller In an unrepresented portion of the politico-geographical map, was appointed commissioner of insurance, statistics and history. Standifer accepted the honor with some doubt as to the nature of the office he was to fill and his capacity for filling It—but he accepted, and by wire. He immediately set out from the little country town where he maintained (and was scarcely maintained by) a somnolent and Vnfruitful office of surveying and map-drawing. Before departing, he had looked up under the I's, S's and H's in the "Encylopaedia Brittanica" what information and preparation toward his official duties that those weighty volumes afforded. A few weeks of incumbency diminished the new commissioner's awe of the great and important office he,had been called upon fo conduct. An increasing familiarity with its workings soon restored him to his accustomed placid course of life. In his office was an old, spectacled clerk—a consecra- / ted, informed, able machine, who held his'desk regardless of changes of administrative heads. Old Kauffman in- ' structed his new chief gradually in the knowledge of the department without seeming to do so, and kept the wheels revolving without the slip of a cog. Indeed, the department of insurance, statistics and history carried no great heft of the burden of state. Its main •work was the regulating of the business done in the state by foreign Insurance companies, and the letter of •the law was to guide. As for statistics J—well, you wrote letters to county officers, and scissored other people's re* ports, and each year you got out a re- ?port of your own about the corn crop and the cotton crop and pecans and tpigs and black and white population, and a great many columns of figures beaded "bushels'* and "acres" and "square miles," etc.—and there yon w*re. History? The branch was pure- V ly a receptive one. Old ladies inter- *' ested in the science bothered, yow 1 some with long reports of proceeding* of their historical societies. Some twenty or thirty people would write ••: you each year that, they had secured • Bam Houston's <noeket knife or Santa Ana's whisky-flask or Davy Crockett's ' rifle—an absolutely authenticated— and demanded, legislative appropriation to purchase. Most of the work to the history brant* went into pigeon-holes. One slssltof August afternoon, the commissioner reclined in his office chair, with (his feet upon the tone, official table covered with green billiard cloth. The commissioner was smoking a cigar, and dreamily regarding the quivering landscape framed by the, - Utodow that looked trposTehe treeless enpitoi grounds. Perhaps he was think- < **fMf«t the r l M * 0 d ***** lHe«he had JtdVof the, of breathless ad/ lost, «f trying to do business contrary to the edicts of the great Lone Star statq. The office was very *sti\\. A few subdued noises trickled hi through the open door from the other departments —a dull, ^inkling crash from the treasurer's office adjoining, as a clerk tossed a bag of sliver to the floor of the vault—the vague, intermittent clatter of a dilatory typewriter—a dull tapping from the state geologist's quarters as if some woodpecker had flownin to bore for his prey in the cool of the massive building—and thep a faint rustle and the Jight shuffling of the w©ii worn—shoes along the hsHy~ the sounds ceasing a t the door toward which the commissioner's lethargic back was presented. Following this, the sound of a gentle voice speaking words unintelligible to the commissioner's somewhat dormant comprehension, but giving evidence of bewilderment and hesitation'. The voice was feminine; the commissioner was of the race of cavaliers who make salaani before the trail of a skkt without considering the quality df its cloth. There stood in the door a faded woman, one of the numerous sisterhood of the unhappy., She dressed all rn black—poverty's perpetual mourning for lost, joys. Her face had the contours of twenty and the lines of forty. She may have lived that intervening score of years in a twelvemonth. There was about her yet an aurum of Indignant, unappeased, protesting youth that shone faintly through the premature veil of unearned decline. "I beg your pardon, ma'am," said the commissioner, gaining his feet to the accompaniment of a great creaking and sliding of his chair. "Are you the governor, sir?" asked the vision of melancholy. The commissioner hesitated a t ' the end of his best bow, with his hand in the bosom of his double-breasted "frock." Truth at last conquered. "Well, no, ma'am. I am not the governor. I have the honor to be commissioner of insurance, statistics and history. Is there anything ma'am, I can dp fer you? Won't you have a chair, ma'am?" The lady subsided into the chair handed her, probably from purely physical reasons. She wielded a cheap fail—last token of gentility to be abandoned. Her clothing seemed to indicate a reduction almost to extreme poverty. She looked at the man who was not the governor, and saw kindliness and simplicity and a rugged, unadorned courtliness emanating from a countenance tanned and toughened by forty years of out of doors. Also;"she saw that his eyes were clear and strong and blue. Just so they had been when he used them to skim the hofi* zon for raiding Kiowas and Sioux. His mouth was as set and firm as it had been on that day when he bearded the old Hon Sam Houston himself, and defied him during that season when secession was^the theme. Now, in bearing and dress, Luke Coonrod Standifer endeavored to do credit to the important arts and sciences of insurance, statistics and history. He had abandoned the careless dress of his country home. Now, his broadbrimmed black slouch hat, and his long-tailed "frock" made him not the, least imposing of the official family, even If his office was reckoned t o stand at the tail of the list. "You wanted to see the governor, ma'am?" asked the commissioner, with the deferential manner he always used toward the fair sex. "I hardly know," said the lady hesitatingly. "I suppose so." And then, suddenly drawn by the sympathetic look of the other, she poured forth the story of her need. It was a story so common that the public has come to look at its monotony instead of its pity. The old tale of an unhappy married life—mads so toy a brutal, conscienceless husband, a robber, a spendthrift, a moral coward, and a bully, who failed to provide even the means of the barest existence. Yes, he had come down In the scale so low as-to strike her. It happened only the day ^before—there was the bruise cm one temple—she had offended his highness' by asking for a little money to Hve ok And yet she must needs, woman-llkeVappend a plea tor her tyrant—he was dunking; he had rarely abased her thus-when sober. "I thought," murmured this pale sister, of sorrow, "that maybe the state might be'willing to give me some re* lief. I've heard of*, such, things being done for the famines of old settlers, rve heard tell thai the .state used to give land to the meo^bo fought for it against Mexico, and settled up the got 'their land certificates issued, and located long ago. Still, we can look that up in the land office, and be sure. Your father's name, now, was—" "Amos Colvin, sir." "Good Lord!" exclaimed Standifer, rising and unbuttoning his tight coat, excitedly. "Are you Amos Colvin's daughter? Why, ma'am, Amos Colvin and me were thicker than two hoss thieves for more than ten years! We fought Kiowas, drove cattle and rangered side by side nearly all over Texas. I rentembeT seeing you once before, now. You were a kid, about seven, a-riding a little yellow pony up and down. Amos and me stopped at your home for a little grub when we were^trailing that band of Mexican cattle thieves down through Karnes and Bee. Great tarantulas! and you're Amos Colvin's little girl! Did you ever hear your father mention Luke Standifer—just kind of casually—as if he'd met me once or tvice?" A little pale-smile flitted across the lady's white face. "It seems to me," she said, "that I don't remember hearing him talk about much else. TSvery day there was some story he had to tell about what he and you had done. Mighty near the last thing !I heard him tell was about the time when the Indians wounded him, and you crawled out to him through the grass, with a canteen of water, while'they—" - "Yes, yes—well—ohl that anything," said Standifer, "hemming" that thjra was seme land, or. a pension, coming to him from the state that bf'aaver would ask for." Luke Standifer rose to his feet, and pushed his chair bank. He looked rather perplexedly around the big office, with its handsome furniture. "It's a long trail to follow," he said, loudly and buttoning his coat again, briskly. "And now, ma'am, who was the infernal skunk—I beg you,r pardon, ma'am—-who was the gentleman you married?" "Benton Sharp." The commissioner plumped down again into his chair, with a groan. This gentle, sad little woman, in the rustyvblack,gown, the daughter of his oldest friend, the wife of Benton Sharp! Benton Sharp, one of the most the government. There's red tape and lawyers and rulings and evidence and courts to keep you waiting. I'm not certain," continued the commissioner, with a profoundly meditative frown, "whether this department that I'm the bo s of has any jurisdiction or not. It's -mly insurance, statistics and hieto n ma'am, and it don't sound as if it «. Jld cover the case. But sometimes a saddle blanket can be made to stretch. You keep your seat, juBt for a few minutes, ma'am, till I step Into the next room and see about it." The state treasurer was seated within his massive, complicated railings, reading a newspaper. Business for the day was about over. The clerks lolled at their desks, awaiting the closing houT. The commissioner of insurance, statistics and history entered, and leaned in at the window. The treasurer, a liltle, brisk, old man, with snow-white mustache and beard, jumped up youthfully and came forward to greet Standifer. They were friends of old. "Uncle Frank," said the commissioner, using the familiar name by which the historic treasurer was adflressed by every Texan, "how much money have you got on hand ?" The treasurer named the sum of the last balance down to the odd cents— something more than a million dollars. The commissioner whistled lowly, and his eyes grew hopefully bright. -tfjosrTt f~"^ouknow,-or else you've heard of, Amos Colvin, Uncle Frank?" "Knew him well," said the treasurer, promptly. "A good man. A valuable citizen. One of the first settlers in the southwest." "His daughter," said Standifer, "is sitting in my office. She's penniless. She's" married to Benton Sharp, a coyote and a murderer. He's reduced her to want, and broken her heart. -Her father helped build up this state, and it's the state's turn to help his child. A couple of thousand dollars will buy T '. ) but shocked. The commissioner's voice had grown louder as he rounded 'Off the sentences that, however praiseworthy they might be in sentiment, reflected somewhat upon the capacity of the head of a more or less important department of state. The clerks were beginning to listen. "Now, Standifer," said the tr««J«>rer, soothingly, "you know I'd like to help in this matter, but stop and think a moment, please. Every cent in the treasury is expended only by appropriation made by the legislature, and drawn out by checks issued by the comptroller. I can't control the use of a cent of It. Neither can you. Your department Isn't dibbursivK- it i*u't even administrative—it's purely clerical. The only way for the lady to obtain relief is to petition the legislature, and—" '•To the devil with the legislature," said Standifer, turning away. The treasurer called him back. "I'd be glad, Standifer, to contribute a hundred dollars personally toward the Immediate expenses of Colvin's daughter." He reached for bis pocketbook. •Never mind, Uncle, Frauk," said the commissioner, In a Bofter tone. "There . no need of that. She hasn't asked for anything of that sort yet. Besides, her case is in my hands. I see now what a little, rag-tagr^bc^btail, gbtch-eared department I've been put In charge of. It seems to be about as important as an almanac or a hotel register. But while I'm running it, it won't turn away any daughters of Amos Colvin without stretching its jurisdiction to cover, if possible. You want to keep your eye on the department of insurance, statistics and history." . _ _ ^_ The commissioner returned to his office, looking thoughtful. He opened and closed an Inkstand on his desk many times with extreme and undue attention before he spoke, "Why don't you get a divorce?" he asked, suddenly. "I haven't the money to pay for it," answered the lady. ' "Just at present," announced the commissioner, In a formal tone, "the plpwers of my department appear to be considerably string-halted. Statistics seem to be overdrawn at the bank, and history isn't good for a square meal. But you've, corno to the right place, ma'am. The department will see you through, Where did you say your husband is, ma'am?" "He was in San Antonio yesterday. He is living there now." I perado In so low a tone, that no one else caught the word.8. Sharp sprang u*, wild with rage. In the meantime Mr. Standifer had stepped some yards away, and was standing quietly with his arms folded across the breast of hitj loosely hanging coat. With that impetuous and deadly rapidity that made Sharp so dreaded, he reached for the gun he carried in his hip pocket—a movement that has preceded the death of at least a dozen men at his hands. Quick as the motion was, the bystanders assert that it was met by the most beautiful exhibition of lightning gun-pulling ever witnessed in the southwest. As Sharp's piatol was being raised-*-and the act was really quicker than the eye could follow—a glittering 44 appeared SB ir by some conjuring trick in the right hand of Mr. Standifer, who without a perceptible movement o{ his arm, Bhot Benton Sharp through the heart. It srems thatnhe new commissioner of insurance, statistics and history has been an old-time Indian fighter and ranger for many yearB, which accounts for the happy knack he has of handling a 44. Ft is not believed that Mr. Standifer will be put to any inconvenience beyond a necessary formal hearing today, as all the witnesses who were present unite in declaring that the deed was done in self-defense. "ARE YOU AMOS COLVIN'S DAUGHTER?' noted "bad"-men la that part of the state—:a man who had been a cattle thief, an outlaw, a desperado, and was now a gambler, a swaggering bully, who plied his trade in the larger frontier towns, relying upon his record and the quickness of his gun play to maintain his supremacy. Seldom did anyone take the risk of going "up against" B'enton Sharp. Even the law officers were content to let him make his own terms of peace. Sharp was a ready and an accurate shot, and as lucky as a brand-new penny at coming clear from his scrapes. Standifer wondered how this pillaging eagle ever came to be mated with Araoa Colvin's little dove, and expressed his wonder. Mrs. Sharp sighed. "Yon see, Mr. Standifer, we didn't know anything about him, and he can be very pleasant and kind when he wants to. We lived down in the little town of Goliad. Benton came riding down that way, and stopped there a while.-- -X reckon- 4- was some better looking then than I am now. He was good to me for a whole year after we were married. He insured his life for me for five thousand dollars. But for the last sli months he has done everything but kill me. I often wish he had done that, too. He got out of money for a while, and abused) me shamefully' for not having anything be could spend. Then father died, and left me the little home In Goliad. My husband made me sell that, and turned me out into the world. I've barely been: able to live, for I'm not strong enough to work. Lately, I heard he was making money in San Antonio, so I went there, and found him, 'and asked tor a little-hefp.

We'll fix up the red-tape business afterward." The treasurer looked a little bewil- (dered. "Why, Standifer," he said, "you know 1 can't pay a cent out of the treasury without a warrant from the comptroller. I can't disburse a doli- Jar without a voucher to show for It.** The commissioner betrayed a slight impatience. "I'll give you a voucher," he declared. "What's this Job they've given me for? Am I just a knot on a raesquite flttrmp? Can't my office stand for it? Charge It up to Insurance and the other two sideshows. Don't statistics show that Amos Colvin came to this state when It was in the hands of Greasers and rattlesnakes and *Comanches, and fought day and night to make a white man's country of it? Don't they show that, Amos Colvin's daughter Is brought to ruin by a villain who's trying to pull down what you and I and all old Texane shed our blood to build up? Don't history show that the Lone Star state never yet failed to grant relief to tbe suffering and oppressed children of the men who made her the grandest commonwealth in the Union? If atattsOos ead history don't bear out the elds* of Amot Colvin's child I'll ask t h e legislature to abolish my office, now, Uncle Frank, let her ttare t h e money.

"Your name's Amanda, isn't it?" "Yes, sir." "I thought so. I've heard your dad say it often enough. Well, Amanda, - here's your father's best friend, the head of^a big office in the state government, that's going to help you out of your troubles, And Ihen here's the old bushwhacker and cowpuncher that. your father has helped out of scrapes tine and time "again wants to auk you a question. Amanda, have you got money enough to run yon for the next two or three days?" Mrs. Sharp's white face flushed the least hit. "plenty, sir—for a few days." "All right, then, ma'am, Now you go back where yon are stopping here, and you come to the office again the day after tomorrow at four o'elock^ in the afternoon. Very likely by that time there will be something definite to frpi.rt to you." The commissioner hjesitated, and looked a trifle embarrassed. "You said your husband had insured his Mfo for $5,000'. Do you know whether the premiums have been kept paid upon it or not?" "I^o paid for a whole year In advance1 .about five -months ago," said Mrs., Sharp. "I have the policy and rccelpis in my trunk."- Mrs. Shaip departed, and soon afterward Luke Standifer went down to the little hotel where ho boarded and looked up the railrcad time table In the daily paper. Half an hour laier hq removed his coat and vest, and strapped a peculiarly constructed pistol holster across his shoulders, leaving the receptacle close under his left armpit, Into the holster he shoved a short-barreled 44-caliber revolver. Tutting on his clothes again, he strolled down (o tbe station and caught the flv#-rwenty afternoon train for San Antonio. The San Autonio Express of the following morning contained this sensational piece of news: BENTON SHARP MEETS HIS MATCH When Mrs. Sharp appeared at the office cf the commissioner, according to appointment, she found that gentleman calmly eating a golden russet apple, He greeted her without embarrassment and without hesitation at approaching the subject that^ was the topic of the day. "L h&d to do It. ma'am." he said. simply, '"or get it myself. Mr. Kauffman," he added, turning to tha old clerk, "please look up the records of the Security Life Insurance company and see if they are all right." "No need to Look,"1 grunted Kauffman, who had everything in his head. "It's all O. K. They pay all losses within ten days.",-, Mrs. Sharp soon^rose to depart. She had arranged to remain in town until the policy was paid. The commissioner did not detain her. tee"" was a woman, and be did not know just what to say to her at present, Rest and time would bring herNwhat she needed. But, as she was leaving, Luke Standifer indulged himself In an official remark. "The department of insurance, sta--.. tlsllcs and history, ma'am, has duim the best, it could with your case. Twas a case hard to cover according to red tape. Statistics failed, and history missed Are, but, if I maj be permitted to say it, we came out particularly strong on Insurance."

" * Commercial photographers are.,to the pictorial world what press absociations are to the world of news. They gather In pictures the news "tlrat-the press associations gather in words. The big commercial photographer, like the great news agency, has his local staff, his correspondents—alert local photographers—in every capital and big city the world over, and his special representatives—men of proved resource and courage—that he sends to the ends of the earth. To, have a man on the spot when news is making, a sharp watch is kept oi\ the doings of the world. Thus his men are ceaselessly roaming over the entire globe, sighing like Alexander for more worlds to conquer, but, unlike Alexander, constantly finding them.- Year by year the traveling photographer ia-Uriven to greater exertion and larger risk. Thus one famous photographer journeyed 24,000 miles on foot that*tte world might see1 how elephants are hunted in^frndustan. And another photographer, who was in Peking-at the time of the Boxer uprising, planted his camera close beside the famous south gate just before it was blown up with dynamite, so that he could ""show the people at home how muc.b,.„smoke a ti> namitis^Xplpston makes." A successful traveling photographer, like a poet, J s bcrn, not made. In addition to being a skilled camera man, he must have nerve and bravery, he must be cool, he must be a linguist, be must know how to command men—often/he travels at the head of a caravan—and he must fcnow how-to make himself persona grata. For unless he find favor his skill and his bravery are often in vain. During the Japanese war with Russia a famous American photographer who was making his way to the battle line was halted by a minor Japanese officer. The photographer showed his credentials and protested. The offlcar was obdurate. He explained t h a t it was forbidden ground. "Ask General Nogi about it," suggested the photographer. The officer did so. "If ii is the American artist," the commander-inchief sent back'word, "let him go anywhere he want* to go." That photographer was a favorite with 'General N«gi. Above all thing* the traveling photographer must have news sense. He must get not. only wfiat he Is sent for. but anything else that is of interest. V.. • - ! • . "..No pocket kodaks are the cameras that the twireling photographer carries with him. The mBii who goci half way round the world to get a"picture must be certain to get it when arrives. He ean take no chances. So he has instruments that he can rely on. As big and heavy as a hod . of/frricks to one of these machines, and the cameraman takes two or three of them along. Each 3a jfaited to some particular kind of work. Then "there are heavy tripods to carry, extra lenses, tntoks fall of plates, a portable dark room with dMBiaalara* well as. a cooking and camping outfit F"dr tn» camera man is sometimes gone from <etlM*ati0n. for months at a time. To transport #M"tMt #<ltiH>»e*t a large party is needed. Thus i a a photographer often finds himself at the head ^ a oonaWerable caravan.

Such expeditionsare costly—all the more reason why the pictures should be good. MfT-Rudolph Wllle, who is now a New York photographer, went over very much the same ground In 1901 that ox-President Roosevelt traversed. Wllle had two white assistants and 19 negro porters, The party walked 1,500 miles: They were gone nine months. After their provisions gave out they lived principally on native sweet potatoes and peanuts, wiih some birds. Some of the time they _had nothing to eat. They smoked driedleaves. The trip cost $10,000 and Mr. Wllle brought back only 400 pictures. The rest of his plates were lost through mishaps. Because the traveling photographer Is com stantly going from one part of the world to another and seeing life in so many phases, he is probably subject to more difficulties and dangers than almost any other man. One day he Is climbing a dangerous mountain peak. The next he is photographing a volcano. He gets a head-on picture of a horse race. He shows the world what happens during a riot. With the hunter he shares the dangers of the forest; but he takes chances no hunter would dare to take. He sometimes crosses raging torrents on slender cable bridges. Af ain he braves the sea in a tiny boat. He crawls around on the skeleton work of high buildings. In war time he faces hardships, sickness and bullets. And like the explorer he suffers privation, heat, cold,and'hunger. For the public must see the uttermost »arts of the earth. That the public may know how he works, the traveling photographer sometimes has a picture taken ot himself in action. Mr. Horace Ashton is shown in an illustration' taking a bird's-eye view of New York city. Mr. H. G. Ponting once spent two days photographing Indian alligators. Whenever he approached they charged him. FU natty by handing thorn meat on a pole he got thedesired pictures, snapping the brutes as they stopped 1O bolt, the meat. Then he decided to get a picture of himself photographing an alligator. This was still more difficult. He had to be nearer the animal and really make It pose for the picture. At last everything was right and the assistant pressed the bulb. At the same Instant the alligator leaped forward. It missed Mr, Ponting by an inch.' Mr. Wille waa asked for pictures showing himself in a dangerous position. "A man Is never photographed in his most perilous moments," was his answer. He admitted that he had taken pictures that involved "a Uttte -risk." When he waa in Africa, for Instance, three lion• suddenly sprang at him from behind a rock. He scrambled up the rock to reach a treo. As he Jumped from Iff* f«4* t k t ^ W J M f t * « • «M M»k. They .were a few inches behind him. He |got into the tree safely, though she ^dropped his gun. His camera $ a s strapped to his back, so he sat on a limb and photographed his pursuers. "You can see very well," said Mr. Wille, "why I have no picture of myself doing it." Mr Dugmore's most thrilling moment in Africa would likewise have been impossible to photograph. He had crept to within 30 yards ot a sleeping rhinoceros, when the beast suddenly jumped up and charged him at expresstrain speed. Mr. Dugmdre took a head-on picture of the beast at lo yards, and his companion fired at the drop of the shutter, fortunately turning the animal. Although Mr. Dugmore has no picture of himself in this situation, his photograph of the charging rhinoceros is one of the most remarkable pictures in existence. Yet photographers have sometimes gotten pfetures of themselves in extremely dangerous situations; but such pictures are prob- -ribly lllH'eT pOsed for. That i"s~mra+- Mr. Wille had in mind when he said that one's perilous moments --*• neve?.'pictured. I have seen a photograph of a moving-picture man in a battle, who wan made conspicuous by his wagon and his outfit, but who was nevertheless calmly grinding. away at his machine while shells and bullets were falling all-around himr -J3ut—h«~w&s-»»tposing. He was so, intent upon his work that he did not know that a fellow knight of the camera had snapped his picture. Mr. Ponting has an equally remarkable likeness of himself. With an assistant he one day climbed the Japanese mountain Asama-Yania to get a .picture of the crater. While hiH helper stood waiting with another camera Mr. Ponting advanced to lhe_£dge -_of_±he volcanoes mouths—He—was—In the very act of taking a picture when an eruption occurred. The assistant was as quick as the volcano. He snapped Mr. Ponting before the latter could even turn round. Then the two ran for their lives Not all of the difficulties of securing pictures are physical. People have to be photographed as well as things and animals, and many prominent personages have such a deep~ hatred for camera men that they go to great lengths to balk them. Mr. J. P. Morgan, for Instance has an unpleasant habit of breaking his cane over the back of an offending photographer; This would not bother the camera man a partlcT&<s?ere it not that Mr. Morgan alwayB sees to It that the-camera i s broken witTf the back. Another difficult suTbjeet to photograph is John D. Rockefeller. ^ \ Many of the men who watch<the world with the camera have chosen some special fteKLpf endeavor. Mr. E. S\ Curtis/and Mr. George Wharton^ Jones have elected to photograph the Indian. But fh or^ der to overcome the Indian'! fear of the camera and to get Intimate pictures of their life that would have historic value these men have had to live for months and years among 4he aborigines. Mr. James is an adopted member of the Mokl Indian tribe. His Indan name is White-man-with-the-longbeard- who-ls-not^afrald-of-rattlesnakes. In some of their religious ceremonials the Mokis use live rat* tiers. Mr. James, in order to get his pictures, went through the ceremonies with them. As a result ha was laid up for months with a snake bite. The photographing of wild creatures likewise has its devotees. Mr. Julian A. Dimock spent a sumphotographing tarpon In Florida, Miss Julia Rogers, the naturalist, fished for him, and played the tarpon within range of the camera. The two were in a rowboat. The result of that summer's campaign is a most wonderful series of photographs, showing the huge fish at every stage of their great l e a p s . ' > • Mr. Dugmore and Mr. Schillings, the German, scientist, are among the most daring of animal photographers. Each has spent months In Africa photographing the fauna. Even more dangerous is the practice, which the world's insatiable thirst for knowledge has brought about, of photographing wild animals at night. In the blazing light of day the photographer can take his picture fr^m a cornparatlvely safe distance, particularly If he 1¾ using a telephqtp lens. But iri*^he darkness of night the subject must be within the radius of the flashlight—a distance a t most of only a few yards. Then, too, wild animals can see In the dark. Man cannot. With "The fall of night, also, wild animals lose in part their fear of man. Thus the chances are all against the photographer. Of all the men who are now watching the world with the camera the most famous is Prof. James Ricalton of Maplewood, N. J. That la he la of Maplewood on those few occasions when he it home. Mr. Ricalton waa once a school teacher. His scientific knowledge and <his love of travel caused Mr. Thomas Edison to send him to ladja to find a certain kind of wood for electrical pur poaes.

Now that we have entered upon the making of a new year, it is natural to look back over t h e past one, for the purpose of ascertaining what has been done. The business man and the farmer have taken stock, and both, if they are keen in butdnesB detail and interest, know exactly ,their financial position. The farmer of Western Canada is generally a business man, and in his stock-taking he will have found that he has had a successful year. On looking over a number of reports sent from various quarters, the writer finds that in spite of the visitation of drouth in a small portion of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba/many farmers are able to report splendid crops. And these reports come from different sections, covering an area of about 25,000 square miles. As, for instance, at Laird, Saskatchewan, the crop returns showed that J. B. Peters had 12,800 bushels from 320 acres, or nearly 40 bushels to the acre. In the Blaine Lake district the fields ranged from 15 to 50 bushels per acre, Ben Crews having 1,150 bushels from 24, acres; Edmond Trotter 1,200 bushels off 30 acres, while fields of 30 bushels were common. On poorly cultivated fields but 15 bushels were reported. In Foam Lake (Sask.) district 10Q bushels of oats to the acre were se» cured by Angus Robertson, D. McRae and C. H. Hart, while the average was 83. In wheat 30 bushels to the acre were quite common on the newer land, but off 15 acres of land cultivated for the past three years George E. Wood secured 495 bushels. Mr. James Traynor, near Reglna (Sask.) is still on the shady side of thirty. He had 50,000 bushels of grain last year, half of which was wheat. Its market value was $25,000. He says he is well satisfied. Arthur Somers of Strathclair threshed 100 acres, averaging 26 bushels to the acre. Thonfas Foreman, of Milestone, threshed 11,000 Toushels of wheut, and 3,000 bushels of flax off 600 acres of land. W. Weatheistone, of Strathclair, threshed 5,000 bushels of oats from 96 acres.

Mr. Gonzilla's general average of crop was over 40 bushels to the acre, lien Cruise, a neighbor, averaged 45 bushels to the acre from 2.T acres. W, A.

Wm.

The crops at the C. P. R. demonstration farms at Strathmore (Alberta) proved up to expectations, the Swedish variety oats yielding 110 bushels to the acre. At the farm two rowed barley went 48½ bushels to the acre. Yields of from 50 bushels to 100 bushels of oats to the acre were quite common in the Sturgeon River Settlemept near Edmonton (Alberta). But last year was uncommonly good and the hundred mark was passed. Wm. Craig had a yield of oats from a measured plot, which gave 107 bushels and 20 Iba. per acre. Albert Teskey, of Olds (Alberta) threshed a 100-acre field which yielded 101 bushelB of oats per acre, and Joseph McCartney had a large field equally good. At Cupar (Sask.) oats threshed 80 bushels to the acre. On the Traquairs farm at Cupar, a fiveacre plot of Marquis wheat yielded 54 bushels to the acre, while Laurence Barknel had 37 bushels of Red Fife to the acre. At Wordsworth, Reeder Bros.' wheat averaged 83¼ bushels to the acre, and W. McMillan's 32. William Krafft of Allx (Alberta) threshed 1,042 bushels of winter wheat off 19*4 acres, or about 53 bushels to the acre. John Laycroft of Dlnton, near High River, Alberta, had over 1,100 bashels of spring wheat from GO acres. £ . F. Knipe, near Lloydmlnster, Saskatchewan, had §00 bushels of wheat from 20 acres/ W. Metcalf had over 31 bushels to the acre, while S. Henderson, who was hailed badly, had an average return of 32 bushels of wheat to the acre. McWhlrter Bros, and John McBalp, of Redvers, Saskatchewan, had 25 buahela of wheat to the acre. John Kennedy, east of the Horae Mills dlatrict near Edmonton, from 40 acres of spring wheat got 1,767 bushels, or 44 bushels to the acre. J. E. Vanderburgh, near Dayalow, Alberta, threshed four thousand buahela of wheat* from 120 [acres. Mr. D'Arcy, near theYe. threshed ten thousand and fifty-efght bushels (machine measure) of wheat from five hundred acres, and out of this only sixty acres was new land. At Fleming. Sask..

Most men who now raise sheep and those who are about to make a start want a breed that will produce both good mutton and good wool—a rather difficult combination. There are some breeds, however, that produce both, but like the dual cow they are not in favor with the men who believe that one must breed for milk and butter, or for beef, and notTjTor "all. v The following broods of sheep are probably better fitted by nature and improvement^to produce wool and mutton: '—•* The Shropshires are much thought of throughout the west. The ewes weigh from 125 to 180 pounds, are very early maturing, producing very excellent carcasses, and shearing from 7 to 10 pounds per head. The Hampshires are a large sheep, not quite so early maturing, but pro- The Dorsets, when mature, weigh from 130 to 180 pounds, and are very prolific. They shear a fleece of medium weight, and.yield a good carcass. They are particularly valuable because of their extreme prolificacy, producing frequently three times in two years. The Rambouillettes and Delaine Merinos are fine wool sheep, and produce fleeces which will yield from 10 to 16~ pbunrls= per head; They -alsa produee good carcasses of mutton; however, more emphasis has been placed upon the fleece than in the breeds mentioned above. . .. The greatest difference between the Rambouillette and the Delaine Merino is in the greater size of the former. The Cotswold, Lincoln and Lester arc known as the long-wooled breeds, producing fleeces weighing from 8 to 12 pounds, and producing good carcasses before the lambs reach the age ducing very largo lambs at an early of one year. These three breeds are age. .^fhey shear approximately the same as Shropshires. The Oxford are very similar to the Hampshires in size and character. The Southdown is particularly -.- a mutton breed, producing a fleece somewhat lighter than the breeds mentioned—above,—trrrt—rrevur I Helens' producing a good fleece and a most excellent carcass of mutton. PUPPY LIKED FRESH MILK comparatively large. But breed is not everything in the selection of breeding-rams and ewes. After one has made up his mind as to the breed he wants then—he must know how to select the best individual of that breed.

Apples Without Cores. Almost everybody has heard the story of the boy who asked his companion for the core of his apple, to which request the companion made the historic remark: "There ain't goin' to be no core." Now Justice of the Peace David Barb of Clifford, Bartholomew county, Indiana, has an apple tree, and that tree—bears apple*. Should any l>erso'n ask for the core of an apple from toe tree he would be doomed to disappointment, because the .apples do not have cores. Justice Barb saysj the tree that bears the apples never blooms in the spring, but through /some freak process It bear*, apples the same as other trees. These apples are without a core, and they are plso seedless. Kills Predatory Chickens.

The first time of its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five years ago, after trying home remedies without getting helped, I asked my doctor to prescribe for me, butTTt'was not for a year or more that my nails and fingers were well. The inflammation and suppuration began at the base of the finger nail. Sometimes it was so painful that I had to use a poultice to induce suppuration. After the pus was discharged the swelling would go down until the next period of inflammation, possibly not more than^jwefik_or twe afterwjyrd^/rjjese frequent inflammations resulted in the loss of the nail. I had sometimes as many as three fingers in this state at one time. | "Perhaps ten years later I began again to suffer from the same trouble. Again I tried various remedies, among them a prescription from a doctor of1,, a friend of mine, who had suffered from a like trouble, This seemed to help somewhat for a time, but it wa3 not a permanent cure; next tried a prescription from my own doctor, but this was so irritating to the sensitive, diseased skin that 1 could not use it. I began to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment. ' I had used the Cuticura Ointment^ previously on my children's scalps with good effect. I did not use the Soap exclusively, but I rubbed the Cullt'Mi'u OluluiPiit lutuVthe -frase^of^ the nail every night thoroughly, and as often beside as I could. I had not used it. but a few weeks before my nails were better, and in a short time they were apparently 'Well. There was no more suppuration, nor inflammation, the nails grew out clean again.

Few things will contribute more to the comfort and "sanitation" of a home than nn ample supply of run-' ning water. This Is one of the substantial attractions of the city home. That it is found In comparatively few farmsteads is a reproach to the thrift of the owners, as well as to their characters as husbands and fathers. A supply of running water is not only a household convenience, but it is a money-saver in numerous ways. In the mere matter eff watering cattle,... it will not only make a large saving of labor, but it will increase the flow of milk in dairy cattle and cause fattening beeves to lay on more flesh than when their drink is limited. The economies it will effect on even the moderate sized farmstead will amount to a good deal more each year than the interest on an investment of $500; and only rarely would the outlay for its installation amount to so large a sum as that. Forest Henrys in a re-- cent article, figures that—a well being already available—the cost may be kept within $200; which includes a $100 windmill; 100 feet of 1%-inch pipe, connecting with house and barn, and cost of laying same; the building of a cistern; a small stock tank; float valves and sundries. The interest on $200 at six per cent, is only $12 a year. It is safe to say that any farmer, with an ordinary "bunch" of cattle, loses several times that amount in butter or beef product alone, from the limitation of the amount of water which is inevitable where much labor is involved In watering the animals. All this without taking account of the conveniences, the improved healthfulness, and the saving of labor .In the house, which accompany the introduction of running water. The fanner should realize that it pays better to put profits into farm improvements of his own than to loan it at five per cent, of six per cent, to improve some other man's farm. The question with farmers should not be whether they jcatf afford .an equipment for running water, but whether they can afford to go without It Those who have installed such an equipment are usually prompt in answering this question with an emphatic negative.

Great baseball Play. "What was the greatest baseball play you ever saw?" asked a friend of Governor-elect John W. Tener. "The greatest play I ever saw," said he, "took place in an amateur game on a town lot at Charleroi. The teams were playing on a wet field and an outfielder who wore a derby hat went after a high fly. He came to a little pond and tuking his eye off the ball made a jump to cross it. As he was leaping the ball struck him on the head, went through the crown of his hat and lodged there.

T h e absolute safety of careful persons lis proven by-the records of sana- Ltorialor the treatment of tuberculosis, as among the thousands of persons employed in these places there is no record of one of them ever contracting the disease notwithstanding the fact that they are constantly associated with the patients in the most intimate manner, caring for and-auxsing them, washing their cloth4ng and dishes, and performing^jiwKW/ services that necessitate a close Intermingling with the patients. On the other hand we often see the disease communicated from oue to another when the sick person through ignorance or carelessness is allowed to deposit his sputum where it may be carried by flies, or is allowed to dry and be carried as dust to susceptible persons. If you have symptons of tuberculosis, such as afternoon fever, gradual loss of weight, pain in the chest of coagh, find out at once what the trouble is as then the more quickly and surely may you be cured. Do not be afraid to learn the truth, for YOUR safety lies in knowing what the trouble is. Do not be alarmed lest others will be afraid of you, as only those who are ignorant of the facts are afraid of a careful consumptive. I t goes without saying that the disease might be communicated by kissing, which adds another danger to this popular pastime. To recapitulate:— 1. Tuberculosis is preventible. 2. Tuberculosis iscurable. 3. I t is communicable. 4. You will not contract it if you live R I G H T and have plenty of fresh air night and day. 5.

Every reader is proba b l y f*m<ltar\vrth it( for It still exists, 1 hough, not so universally as it did years ago, when no home in t b i land, In village, hamlet, or on farm, was considered complete or well-equipped without this dismal apartmentf-carefully shuttered in against air and sunlight; a jar of waxwork on the center table; a collection of curious odds and ends ow the what-not in the corner; mottos affd chromos on the wall; a vivid ingrain or Brussels carpet on the floor' The sound of festivity seldfAn penetrated the gloom of this parlor, says the Philadelphia Press. At rare intervals distinguished visitors were received in it—witnesses of wedding or funeral. It was never u pleasant room; it smelled damn and dusty; the children stood in awe of it; and yet it was their mother's pride. Happily -.he day of tbe p:jntup, unsavory parlor is fast passing away. The children, going out into the bigger world with observant eyes, have returned to the homestead and insisted upon flinging open the doors and windows and admitting a burst of sunlight and a rush of pure air. They have m a d e a Uvjag- room of a tomb. In their childhood the kitchen was the most comfortable place in the house; it was scrubbed* every day, ventilated always, made light arid airy and clean and hospitable while J h e ghastly forbidden precincts, of the parlor were exposed to sanitary search not oftener !han twice a year—during the inevitable spring and fall hcusecleaning. It is only recently that they have discovered a way of canning decayed fggs.and there are bakers in the large cities who are so devoid of honesty that they 'vould as soon use rotten egv;s as fresh ones. Thus a market is created, and but for the fact that the state under its pure food laws can -*tep__in and condemn this product as unfit for~~cohsumptlfln, the problem cfeated by cold storage would have been rendered more complex as the year go by, says the Rochester Herald. It Is not beyond the bonds of possibility that meat which has been cold-stored to the point of decay is treated in the same manner7 No- one e v e r W a r s of it being thrown away. And now the I^ondon police have discovered that the prisoner convicted by finger prints, and who, it was reported, had established his innocence by indisputable evidence that, being in (he army at the time, he could not have been guilty, was, after all ,a fakir. He stole the army records of another man to bolster up hisdefense and came very nearly getting.away with it. The police are dcuibiy pleased at the discovery, since It prevents a guilty man from"escaping and re-establiFhes^ the"finger-print theory as infallible at least BO far as experience has gone. But for a time tme fakir had both the I>ondon police jrnd the fingerprint theory "groggy." • ' *• , 'SEE T H A T PROPERTY IN YOUR COUNTIES 18 MORE EQUITA B L Y ASSESSED." 1« V A L U A T I O N OF S T A T E IS TOO L O W ; CITES DIFFERENCE BET W E E N STATE AND FEDERAL V A L U A T I O N .

"If the present legislature passes all of the appropriation bills ihat have already been introduced in bo in' house.:, the tax levy for the yea\ would amount to something like $10,^ 00(1,(100/1 stated Auditor General Fuller, in a talk before the State Asso: ciation of Supervisors, at the city hiil J. "This amount, mind you, does not include any appropriations that may come uj) in the future, and is only an estimate, but you supervisors can readily see for yourselves that there are a number of irregular valuations and you can aid materially in correcting them. "Two vears ago the tax levy was $5,929.00() and last year $4,720,000, making a total for those two years of $10,058,000. "The state levy for 1911, estimated will De""$fi,fi87.123.29. and "the" deficiency $5,075,000, making a total state tax levy, estimated, for the biennial period of $11,702,123.29." State Valuation Too Low. Mr. Fuller, in an interview later, referred to the bill introduced by Senator LeldTein, making appropriation for $1,750,0()0 for~state highway purposes. In addition to this amount the state highway department has asked for $500,00(). Mr. Fuller told the supervisors there is a general feeling that the valuation of the state is fflr too low, beingplaced at $1,734^100,000, while the federal government places it at $::,50(1,000,000. Information given out by the former secretary of state tax commission, Geo.

He does not add that there are almost to a thousand as many clergymen* printers, manufacturers, grocers, butchers, stenographers or masons in the nation as there are citizen soldiers. But the fact is true. Auditor Fuller told the supervisors of tlw£ attitude of the railroads at the present time and the creating of their own tax commission to determine whether the valuation "of railroad companies in the state is higher than other general properties.

Again Canada is to tbe fore, and has secured at the National Corn Exposition just closed at Columbus, Ohio, th* magnificent Colorado silver trophy valued at $1,500, for the best peck,of oats. These oats were grown by Messrs. Hill & Sonjof Lloydminster, Saskatchev-an„ and. as may readily be understood, were of splendid quality to have been so successful In a contort open to the world, and in which competition was keen. At the same Exposition there were exhibits of wheat and barley, and in all these competition*, the grala shown by Canada secured a wonderful amount of attention, and also a nui ber of awards. During recent exhibl-' tions at which grain from Western Canada was given permission for entry, it always took first place. At the Spokane Interstate Fair, last fall, where the entries were very large, and the competition keen, the Province of Alberta carried off the silver cup, given by Governor Hay, for the best state or province display, and a score of prizes was awarded Canadian exhibitors for different exhibits of wheaL oats and barley threshed and in the sheaf. Vegetables also received high awards. A pleasing feature of these exhibits was they were mostly made by farmers who had at one time been American Citizens and were now farming in Canada. The Department of the Interior is just in receipt 'of "a" magnificent diploma given by the Tri-State Board of Examiners at the Fair held in Cincinnati last fall for agricultural display by Canada. ' The Surveyor-General of Canada has just completed a map showing that a large area of land was surveyed last year in the northern portion of Saskatchewan and.Alberlg in order to be ready for the^fisj|:oi homesteaders to that district during'the coming spring and summer.

A return just Issued by the Dominion Lands Branch shows that 48,257 homestead entries were made last year as.compared with 37,061 in 1909; this 48.257. 14.704 were made by Americans. North Dakota coming first on the list with 4,810, Minnesota gives 2,528, South Dakota_L133, Wiscon n 74«, Washington 730, Michigan 7<>G, Iowa 045, while other states show less, but with the exception of Delaware, District of Columbia and the Indian Territory, every state and , territory contributed. The prospects for an abundant crop In all parts of Western Canada for 1911 are said to be excellent. In the districts that required-it^-ther-e-Avas an— ample rainfall last autumn, and the snowfall during the present winter is greater than in many previous years. Both are essential factors to the farmers, who look upon the moisture that these will produce as being highly beneficial. t A large immigration from the United States is expected, and the demand for > literature "and information from the various Government Agencies located at different points in the States is the greatest it has ever been. Since the above was written word has been received that in addition to honors won at Columbus, Ohio, Cana* da won first and second on wheat a-nd first and second on oats, as well as diplomas. Norman Cherry of Davis, Saskatchewan, who was in the reserve for first on wheat, secured the award, with G. H. Hutton of Lacombe, Alberta, second. J. C. Hill & Sons got first on oats besides the silver trophy. G. H. Hutton took second in oats. Many men enjoy a* dry smoke. Why not a dry drink? Snow Slide Death to Many.

Wall street's great fun, but it doesn't pay much; that is. not unless you play the gain* yourself." Howard smiled , feebly as he rej, plied: •"Nonsense—I wouldn't accept help of that sort. I'm not reduced to soliciting charity yet. I guess I'd prefer the river to that, But if you hear of anything, keep me in mind." The athlete made no response. He w a s apparently lost in thought when suddenly he blurted out: "Say, Jeffries, you haven't got any money, have you—say, a couple of thousand dollars ?"• How a r d s t a r e d at the questione r j i s if he doubted his sanity. "Two thousand dollars!" he gasped. "Do you suppose that I'd be wearing out shoe leather looking for a job, if I had $2,000?".. "v Co*e looked disappointed as he replied: , 'j "Oh, of course, I understand you haven't it on you, only I thought you might be able to raise it." /. "Why do you ask?" inquired Howard, his curiosity h o u s e d . Coxe looked around to see if any one was.^ listening. Then in a whisper he said: "It's a cincn. If you had $2,000, you and I could make a snug little fortune. Don't you understand? In my office I g e t tips., I'm on the inside. I know in advance what the big men are going to do. .When they start to mine a certain stock u-p, I'm on the job. Understand? If you had $2,000, I could raise as much, and we'd pool our capital, starting in the business ourselves—on a small scale, of course. If we hit it right we might make a nice income." -Howard's moutff watered. Certainly that was the kind of life he likedbest. The* feverish excitement of gambling, the close association with rich men, the promise of a luxurious Style of living—all this appealed to -him Btrongly.- But what was the use? Where could ifo get $2,000? He couldn't go to his father He shook his Jiead. "I'm afraid not, old sport," he said as they lef^ the saloon and lie held out his hand to say good-by. "Hut-I'll bear it in mind, and if things improve, I'lllook you up. So long!" . Climbing wearily up the dirty stairs of the elevated railroad, he bought a ticket with one of the few nickels remaining in his pocket, and taking a Bea*t in a north-bound train started on his trip back to Harlem. The day was overcast, rain threatened. A pall of mingled smoke and mist hung over the entire city. From the car window as the train wound Its serpentine course in and out the maze of grimy offices, shops and tenements, everything appeared drab, dirty and squalid. New York w a s seen at its ugliest.' Ensconced In a •Cross-seat, his chin leaning heavily 00 his hand, Howard gazed dejectedly out of the window. The depressing outlook wa& in keeping with his own state of mind. How would the adventure end? Reconciliation with his father was out of the question. Letters sent home remained without response. He wasn't surprised. He knew his pater too well t o expect that he would relent so soon. Besides, if the old man w a s so infernally proud, he'd show him he had. some pride, too. He'd drown himself before he'dvgo down on his knees, whining to be forgiven. 'His lather was dead wrong, anyway. His marriage 'might have been foolish; 'Annie might be beneath him socially. She was not educated and her father wasn't any better than he ought to be. She did not talk correctly, her manners left much to be desired, at times he w a s secretly ashamed of her. But her bringing up was her misfortune, not her fault. The girl herself w a s straight as a die. She had a heart of gold. She was far more intelligent, far more likely to make him a happy home than some stuckup, idle society girl ' w h o had no thought for anything save money, dress and show. Perhaps if he had been l e s s honofaTfle~and not married her, his father 'would have thought more highly of bina. . If he'd ruined the girl, .no doubt he would Save been welcomed home with open arms. Pshaw! He might be a poor, weak fool, but thiiik God, they couldn't reproach him with that. Annie bad been loyal to him throughout He'd stick to her through thick and thin. As the train swept round t h e enrre at Fifty-third street and started on its long, straight jrafc up ; tbe W e s t side, his mind reverted t o Robert Underwood. He had seen bis old associate only once siqee reaving college. He res across htm one-day on FJ/th »••* • * 4 4 him what ha chose. He wondered why he had not tried to resist. The truth was Underwood exercised a strange, subtle power ever. him. He had the power tA m/rke him 6> 5everytJiisV;he wanted htni to do, no matter how foolish or unreasonable the" request. Hvery one a t ' c o l l e g e ' u s e d t o talk about it. One night Underwood invited 1}1 his classmates to his rpoms and made him cut up all kinds of capers. He at first refused, point blank—but Underwood got up and, standing directly in front of him, gazed steadily into his eyes. Again he commanded him to do these ridiculous, degrading things. Howard felt himself weakening. He was suddenly seized with the feeling that he must obey. Amid roars of laughter he recited the entire alphabet standing on one leg, he crowed like a rooster, he hopped like a toad, and he crawled abjectly on his belly liRe. a snake. One of the fellows told him afterward that he had been hypnotized. He had laughed at it then as a good joke, but now he came to think of it, perhaps it was true. Possibly he was a subject. Anyway he was glad to be rid of Underwood and his uncanny influence. Tin' train stopped with a jerk at his station and Howard rode down in the elevator to t h e street. Crossing Highth avimue, he was going straight home when suddenly he halted. The glitter and tempting array of bottles in a corner saloon window tempted him. He suddenly felt'that if there was one thing hip needed in the world above all others it was another drink. True, he had had more than enough already. But that was Coxe's fault. Jle had invited him and made him drink. There couldn't be any harm in taking another. He might as well be hanged for a sheep a» a lamb. 4By the time he emerged from the saloon his speech was thick and his step uncernue. Underwood was coming out of a curio shop. He explained hurriedly that he had left Yale, and when asked about his future plans talked vaguely of going in for art. His matter was frigid^ and nervous—the attitude of the man who fears he may be approached for a. small loan. He was evidently well aware of the change in his old associate's fortunes, and having squeezed a l l h e could out of him, had no further use for him. It W23 only when he had disappeared that Howard suddenly remembered a loan of $250 which Underwood had never repaid. Some time later Howard learned that he occupied apartments at the exclusive and expensive Astruria, where he was living in _. great style. He went there determined to see him and demand his money, but the card always came back "uot at home." Underwood had always been a mystery to Howard. He knew him to be an inveterate gambler and a man entirely without principle. No one knew who his family were or where he caaie from. His source of income, too, was always a puzzle. At college he-^was -always hard upr 4>orrowing right and left and forgetting to pay. I tain. A few minutes later he was yet he *always succeeded in living on painfully climbing up the ricketvstairs the fat of the land. His apartments 1 of a cheap-looking flat house. As he '| Wish I Could Help .You, Old Man." in the Astruria cost a small fortune; he dressed well, drove a smart turnout and entertained lavishly. H e was not identified with any particular business or profession. On leaving college he became interested in art. He frequented the Important a r t sales and soon got his name In the newspapers as an authority on art matters. His apartment w a s literally a museum of the apartments to greet Howard. She was a vivaciouB brunette of medium height, intelligent looking, with of European and oriental art. On alirg0 O <i features and fine teeth. It-was s i d e s . w e r e paintings by old-masters, beautiful rugs, priceless tapestries, rare ceramics, enamels, statuary, antique furniture, bronzes, etc. He passed for a man of wealth, and mothers with marriageable daughters, considering him an eligible young bachelor, hastened to invite him to their homes, none of them conscious of the danger of letting the wolf slip into the lambs' fold. What a strange power of fascination, mused Howard as the train jogged along, men of Underwood's bold and reckless type wield, especially over women. Their very daring and unscrupulousncss seems to render them more attractive. He himself at college had fallen entirely under the man's spell. There was no doubt that he was responsible for all his troubles. Underwood possessed the uncanny gift of being able to bend people to his will. What a fool he had made of him at the university!- He had been his evil genius, there was TYOquestion of that. But for meeting Underwood he might have applied himself to serious study, left the university with honors and be now a respectable member of the community w a s through Underwood t h a t . h e had met his wife. Some of the fellows hinted thaH, Underwood had known her more intimately than he had pretended and had only passed her on to him because he w a s tired of her. He had nailed that as a lie. Annie, he oofM swear, was as good a girl as ever breathed. He couldn't explain'Underwood's influence over him. He had done with reached the top floor a cheerful voice called out: "Is that you, Howard, dear?" CHAPTER IW The box-like hole w'nere Howard sat awaiting his meal was the largest room in a flat which boasted of 'live and b a t h " There was a 'jedroom of equally diminutive proportions and a parlor with wall paper so loud that it talked. There was scarcely enough room to swing a cat around. The thin walls were cracked, the rooms were carpetless. Yet it showed the care of a good housekeeper. Floors and windij.w.a.. were cleau, the cover on the table spotless. The furnishings were us meager as they wqsjp ingenious. With their slender purse they had been able to purchase only the bare necessities—a^ bed, a chair or two, a dining room. ta>le, a few kitchen utensils. When 'they wanted to sit in the parlor they had to carry a chair from the dining room; wtwii meal times came the chairs had to travel back again. A soap box turned upside tiown and neatly covered with chintz did duty as a dresser in the bedroom, and with a few photographs and tacks they had managed to impart an aesthetic appearance1 to the parlor. Thio place cost the huge sum of $25 a mouth. It might just ay v.'<:H have cost $100 for all Howard's ability' to pay it. The past month's rent was long overdue ami the janitor looked more insolent every day.* Hut they did not care. They were young and life was still before-theui. Presently Annie came in carry in:; a steaming dish of stew, which she laid en the table. As she helped Howard to a plate full she said: "So you had no luck again this morning?" Howard was too busy eating to answer. As he gulped down a huge piece of bread, he growled: "Nothing, as usual—same old story, nothing doing." Annie sighed. She had been given this answer so ofterv Uigfc it would have surprised her to hear anything else. It meant that- their—hard—ha*wW to-mouth struggle must go on." She said nothing. What was the use? It would never do to discourage Howard. She tried to make light of it. "Of course it isn't easy, I quite understand that. Never mind, dear. Something will turn up soon. Where did you go? Whom did you see? Why didn't y o u . l e t drink alone when you promised me you ; would?" "That was Coxe's fault," blurted out Howard, always ready to blame others for his own shortcomings. "You remember Coxe! He was- at Yale when I was. A big, fair fellow with blue eyes. He pulled stroke in the 'varsity bout race, you remember?" "I think I do," replied his wife, indifferently, as she helped him to more stew. "What did tie wnnt? Whnt'a he doing in New York?" "He's got a fine place in a broker'3 office in Wall street. I felt ashamed to let him are me low down like this. He said that I could make a good deal of money if only I had a little capital. He knows everything going on In Wall street. If I went in with him I'd be~o"TT"Easy street." "How much would It require?" "Two thousand dollars." Tho young wife gave a sigh as she answered: "I'm^ftiraid that's a day dream. Only your 1'athcr^iQlild give you such an amount and you^ wouldn't go to him, would you?" ^^--^^ "Not if we hadn'f. a n o t h f ^ c r u s t in the house,"'snapped Howard savagely. "Yon don't want lhe to, do ypu'.^ he asked looking up at her quickly, "No. dear," she answered calmly. "I have certainly no wish that you should humble yourself. At the same time I am not selfish chough to want to stand in the ,way of your future. Your father and stepmother hate me, I know thatr- I am the cause of your separation from your folks. No doubt your father would be very willing to help you if you would consent to leave me."u Howard laughed as he replied: "Well, If that's the price for the J $2,000 I guess I'll go without it. I wouldn't give you up for a million times $2,000!" Annie stretched her hand across I!

He remembered with a smile that it<» The young man made no reply. With an impatient gesture he passed on into the flat and flung himself down in a chair In the dining room. From the. adjoining kitchen came a welcome odor of cooking. "Dinner ready?" he demanded. "I'm devilish hungry." "Yes, de«r, Just a minute," replied not a doll fafe, but the face of a woman who had experienced early the hard knocks of the world, y e t in whom adversity had not succeeded in wholly subduing a naturally buoyant, amiable disposition. There was determination in the lines above her mouth. It w a s a face full of character, the face of a woman who by sheer dint of dogged perseverance might accomplish any task she cared to set herself. A smile of welcome gleamed in her eyes a s she inquired eagerly: "Well, dear, anything doing?" Howard shook his head for all respons$ and a look of disappointment crossed the : ng wife's face. "Say, that's tough, ain't it?" she exclaimed. "The Janitof was here again for the rent. He aays they'll serv* us with a dispossess. I told him to chase himself, I waa that mad." Annie's vocabulary was emphatic, rather than choice. Entirely without education, she made no pretense at being what she waa not and therein d o w n f 0 P a d e n t a l operation, took gas perhaps lay her chief charm. »A». . f t B d . _ d r i t B W d .

Practically all the important Infirmaries and hospitals in England have their own electric generating stations, and the size of the installations would surprise the majority of engineers. The equipment has to b * designed with y,nusual care, owing to the special conditions which prevail in hospital work. Even where a public supply Is available, the use of ha independent system is Justified on account of the security which it gives against failure of current at a critical moment. The installations are used for lighting, heating, ventilating, telephoning and other purposes, ;and many hospitals have laundries op-, erated electrically. One county asylum has its own private electric railway for conveying supplies from t h e nearest railway station. n " "" — — — The Duration of Dreams, Something regarding the duration of dreams can be gathered from this experience of a man who, on sitting his work, go to the club, leave for the station-, run for the train and miss it. He returned to bis club and 'reclined on a settee in the library. There he passed a miserable, restless night, getting gradually colder and colder at the fire died down, and with a pain gradually growing about his head and face from the hardness of his couch.

The Miser's Parrot i ^akeni from-the Arcbiwssvof BoWvants, Umhvd, the ^g reaiaet- inquiry «ad detec tire agency of modern 'tUnoa %y Flt£l>JHR*TCJ(. -REWALE lCopyrt#at,*Wa/*7*W.'U.Ck»jHB»H; | HE regular coVse of business one day brought the following peculiar letter to the London office of Bullivanta Limited. It shall serve to introduce one 'of the queerest cases which *M ttl*t inquiry agency ever undertook to elucidate: Tintagel Priory Near Penxance, Juno 29, W— Gentlemen: I have been advised to ad- -fltsaf you by the curate of this paria«, the Rev. Mr. Penmar, in the hope that you can help me unravel a very puzzling" myitery. My name U Muriel Pendragon, and 11 am the granddaughter of the late Mr. John Pendragon, who died six months ago. My grandfather was very eccentric, and although he waa always kind to me I cannot but admit that he was queer at times. By bur few immediate neighbors he wax accounted a mlBer—Just whv I have never been able to learn. We always had enough to live on, and" he sent me to good schools for some years after tny parents died. Since then I have kept house for him. One of grandfather's peculiarities consisted in an aversion to making" a will, although Mr.Penmar 'always" told him he should do BO. But he—my grandfather— would laugh and say there was plenty of time for that. Well, somehow I gained the idea that he was quite rich—not that I ever saw much money, but because whenever gold or silver was needed it waa sure to be forthcoming. Then, I Knew that he inherited several thousands of pounds from his father— which would- have come to my father had he lived. Well, last Christmas eve grandfather died in his sleep, and since then, although the house has been searched from attic to cellar, we can find neither papers nor any secret source of wealth. Mr. Penmar has inquired of the banks In Pensance, St. Ives and Falmouth, If grandfather had any moneys deposited, but the answer is no in every case. But atlil I am sure—and the popular belief bears me out in this—that poor grandfa.- ther was really a wealthy man. As I am his sole heir, and all alone in the world, you wilt see how deeply I am interested Keppel. You're young and enthusiastic— I won't say romantic—'but this 'is one of those matters where a man •of some imagination is needed. But don't let Miss—er—Miss Pendragon— fine old name that—twirl you round her finger. From what she says there will be little in the shape of lees for Bullivanta unless you locate the old miser's hoard—in which case we shall expect the usual percentage. Take your time, spare no expense, and report when you're ready. Nil desperanduni, remember." These concluding clauses embodied at^ once the usual instructions to Bullivants' men, and my own particular vade mecura. I bade Callister good morning, and went out to look up a convenient train via the London and Southwestern for Penzance, the nearest, station to Tintagel Prlo^. I arrived in England's most westerly town the next evening greatly exhilarated by the long ride which took me through the picturesque "West Countree,"—the land of Lorna Doon*. My inquiries at the inn elicited the fact that Tintagel Priory was midway between Penzance and Marazion, on the shores of Mount's bay. Next morning r set out on foot, the distance being some ten or twelve miles at most. As a lad I had devoured the page* of Kingsley's "Westward Ho," yet had never dared hope that I'd be fortunate enough to visit the scenes amid which 1U stirring adventures are laid. Consequently I fairly reveled in the glorious scenery of that shore road—winding over moor and g-len and chine, always within sight and sound of the Western ocean of Drake and Raleigh, and replete with legends of King Ar- Bxcept for a few sovereigns—less than •UO-there was nothing in sight after the funeral, and I have managed to live on that these last six months, I am sure there Is a dreadful mystery somewhere, end this is my reason for writing you, being Informed that you undertake to unravel family troubles like this. Perhaps- X ought to add that grandfather left in gay care a very old parrot, who talks in s> wdnderfully clever way. He (grandfather), always bade me to be, careful of ••Capt. Bob" (that's the parrot's name), and "always mind what the bird said." I know this must sound very silly to busy gentlemen In the city—but I can't help thinking that Capt. Bob knows a great deal. He certainly does talk very strange* ]y, but I can!t make head or tail of what he say*. Please pardon this long and rambling letter. X have told you but little after air, I And; but if what I have smtd prompts you to help me In any way, X shall forever be, -.* Gratefully yours, MURIEL* PENDRAGON. The then resident manager of Bulllf ants, In King William street, London, handed me the foregoing epistle wjth the quiszical worts: "What do you think of that, Keppel?" I was about the youngest member of the staff, and so perhaps the natural recipient of hopeless assignments; I read and re-read Miss Pendragon's artless letter under the runs of the manager's eyes, then made answer: 'Tin not saying much at this, distance, hut It strikes me there must have been something queer about old John Pendragon." "Queer!" exclaimed Callister, "I fancy youll discover something more Urin queer.1* , "Then*—" I was beginning, when he finished the sentence for me: »\ mean you to undertake the c a s t thur and his knights, of Tristan and Isolde, to say nothing of more modern freebooters and smugglers. For there is scarcely a headland or a-cove between Penzance and Falmouth, but has its weird tale of these gentry and their fights with the revenue men, while the cliffs are honeycombed with caves wherein the smugglers and the wreckers used to secrete their booty. However, by the time, I reached Tintagel Priory I was all alert for the business which brought me thither. The "priory" proved a hideous disappointment, for it was nothing more than a large, rambling old thatched cottage standing in a riot of roses and old-fashioned flowers. Whatever its ancient use, there was now no sign of church or abbey. In short, the name was a purely fanciful one. As I clicked the garden gate behind me a vision of girlish loveliness appeared at the single door of the house, framed in a border of pink blossoms! Passing up the pebbled path, hat in hand, I quickly made her out to be a girt of about 1», rather tall, with cheeks like' the palest of roses, a wealth of red-gold hair, and a pair of honest, earnest gray eyes. I presented my card, saying with my best bow: "Mr. Mason Keppel—from Bum- •ants. This, I presume, Is Miss Pendragon?" "Oh, then they received lsy-4etter! I was afraid they wouldn't botherr "On the contrary, Miss Pendragon, I am sent to be of the utmost serriee to you. Pray command me in any and e?ery way.". Although A s blushed very prettily there -was nothing of rustic shyness ha Iter manner. "Wont jwu come In?" she suggested. "Or would you rather sit out bene among the roses?" 3 voted tor the roses, and soon we were chatting like old friends. I gathered toy dint wf courteous questionings tfcat her grandfather was nearly »0 <wien fee died; that he had followed on adventurous career In his youth:; that he ttad undoubtedly "made money" tn those early days, and that his wealth had been augmented (a various ways; also that the countryside called him a "miser—-perhaps because be "held on to bis money. ATI ancient «rone whom Miss Pendragon called "Margery," set before us, on a rustic table, some luscious strawberries, cream and cakes—the like of whlcb 1 never tasted before, though, thank goodness. ! get them for seven months of the year nowadays. I was just about %o attack these delicacies Vben a roost infernal uproar anose from within the cottage— a loud, raucous voice proclaiming; something that sounded like: 'Dee Ess! Dee-Ess! Dec-Ess1: .Now listen'" Jollowed by a torrent of incoherent, yet evidently what was meant lor coherent speech, but of which I could make nothing, winding up with a thrjeked "three cheers lor the devil." The last at least, was distinct enough .„ Miss Pend"ragou fairly higgled— there is no other name lor the biueker of bubbling laughter that came from her lips, ab she gatped: 'That's Capt. HOU—the parrot, you know—of whom 1 wrote. That's the wafr he goes on ail the time, lie was grandfather's pet, ana they were almost cronies. Nobody knowa^how old he is—but grandfather, with almost his dying breath, charged me to be very careful of Capt. Bob, and always mind what he said. It sounds too stupid for anything—don't you think so, Mr. Keppel?" The girl's fresh loveliness and altogether artless manner had go bewitched me—I Vas rather young and Impressionable in those days—that lor the moment I lost my tongue. Then I remembered in time that I was at Tintagel Priory on business, and pulled myself together, answering with due gravity: "In my profession, Miss Pendragon, we learn never to scoff at trifles. Perhaps that queer old bird may help us to solve the mystery of your grandfather^ property:—Mayi have a look at him? stream of profanity, which the hoary old bird let loose on seeing the strange instrument with its great horn,' he very soon treated u s to his "little piece," so that before sunset I had oo less than three records. Then we set to work to transcribe them. By revolving the wax records at a very much slower speed we were able to get a coherent transcription of •what the parrot actually said, and here It is, written down phonetically,, of course: L?e* and K»s— l>©e and K»»- Oee and Khti- No* liuteu: Red two black two red four bJa^k one black kay red six red sev- *n*rin one blaHi weight red el* black ^even black cue black kay red eight black .lay black seven black Jay black que black fU'4 red four red rue blink one bluick kuy Ted three double black Jay red *lx black ten black Hfht red four led cue black Jay red «tx black four black kay red six black Uu-e.e black five retl Jay bUck cue red six black rive black nine red four black nine red one bluck five reel Jay bluck two red four red cue "black :<cv- •en black three black jay double red live black -HfVen—lhre*? cheers for the devil' Sad gibberish, is it not? That's how it struck me when I pored over it half Yhe night at the Penzance Arms. Hut suddenly It flashed into my mind that the whole thjng was nothing more than a bit of cipher writing which needed only to be unlocked to be read the hidden meaning or message! Now, fortunately. I had dabbled a bit in cryptograms of various kinds, and knew what the most artful cipher can be deciphered if brie will be at sufficient pains. So I called for fresh candles and set to work anew. Perhaps it was the <x>nstant iteration of the words "rod"' and "black" which gave me the hint; however, I suddenly decided that a pack of counnon playing cards had been used in contriving the cipher. To this conclusion I was mateilaljj' helped by the opening exclamations of the parrot's speech: "Dee-Ess" thrice repeated. These, 1 guessed, stood for "diamonds" and "spades." After that the process was easy. I had read of "card ciphers"—where two suits of & pack oi cards are taken, 26 in all, one card standing tor each letter of the alphabet. The reader will see that this allows of infinite variety; the trick consists in finding out the particular sequence which has been adopted in arranging the cipher Hut already I had the two] suits, diamonds and spades to start on. So, to test the matter then and there, after one or two experiments, I made a tentative alphabet, as follows: per, and by one of those freakish mental pranks which the old sometimes indulge in, had worked out bis message and entrusted it to the parrot rather that make a will, fully believing that his granddaughter or some helper like myself w.ould succeed in unraveling the secret It is further my private belief that the old rascal had come by much of his money In questionable wayfi and was secretly afraid to publish the amount of his wealth by means of a written will or testament. However, my next step was manifestly to communicate my discovery to Muriel Pendragon—for although 1 had known her but two short days, al ready 1 had come to think or her by her pretty Christian name. My MrBt question after the usual polite greetings was: "Do you know of any locality near here called King Arthur's cave?" "Why, surely," she answered. 'Every Cornlsbrnan on Mount's bay epuld direct you. It's an old smugglers' refuge. Why do you ask, Mr. Kep polT' I parried this question by another. "Is it fa* from here?" "Yes, ami, uo," was the answer "Arthur's caves--t^ere are several of them, really—extend for miles under the cliffs. SoL.e of them can only be entered at low tide, but it so happens that there is an entrance to one of them from under our own kilt.inn floor by . means of a trap door. I've never been down, but I know it's there, because grandfather often used to take a lantern and disappear lor hours at a lime. Hut why--" Again I gave query for query." Would you trust me to go down— with a lantern, of course?" "Oh, you mustn't think of that—go ing alone, I mean! People have been lo:-:t and starved to death down there in former days There was a lovely concern in her voice which brought an altogether adorable color to the girl's cheeks. Then suddenly she exclaimed: "You're keeping something from me. Mr. Keppel! What is it? Have you discovered grandfather's secret?" Seeing no other way out of it I told her the truth and read the parrot's message as I had deciphered it. She listened wuh bated breath and palpitatlTf,' bosom. "Hut we mustn't be too sure," I continued. The whole .thing may be a hoax, you know." "Ah, but you didn't know poor 'old grandfather," she commented. "It was hi* forethought for me which caused him to take tnis roundabout way of concealing and then revealing his secret wealth." A. " _5 C JD E F G- "Certainly," she replied. "Come this way," leading me into a wide, low ceillnged and diamond latticed- chamber, which was at once dining room, living room, and the girl's sewing room. On a tall perch by the window ' strutted Capt. Bob—the most disreputable and battered gray parrot I ever saw. "Don't be surprised If he should I. swear," continued Miss Fendragon. ''Sometfmes, particulariy aTthe" sight of strangers, he goes on dreadfully." Scarcely were the words out of her pretty mouth than Capt. Bob did swear—a perfect torrent of "language" gathered from sailors' fo'c's'les, most of which was luckily beyond her comprehension. Then, without a break, he chanted the refrain I had already overheard: "Dee-Ess! Dee-Ess! Dee-Eas! Now listenI^-and then a string of gibberish, too rapid for analysis, growing ""faster and faster toward the end, and rising into avshriek. "Does the gentleman never vary his tune?" I inquired. "Never," was the answer, "Poor grandfather taught him every word— oh, I don't mean the bad words," she hastened to put in with a becoming blush—"but all that sing-song patter; for hours at a time grandfather used to keep Capt. Bob in bis room, going over and over that rigmarole until the bird got it by heart.1' While she was speaking I had been doing some thinking, and as a result said aloud: "That rigmarole, as you call it, Miss Pendragon, probably contains the clew to your grandfather's secret." She looked at me with wide-open eyes, aj&swerihg under her breath: "Do you really think so? Why?" "Because from what was outlined In your letter and from all that you have told me yourself, I infer that your respected relative had a secret which he was—pardon me—too timorous, or too cunning to put to paper, and s o he confided it to that clever bird. Of course, the bird might have died and carried the secret with him. That was a risk, certainly. Equally* of course, as It sounds It's all gibberish— not even an expert stenographer could take it down. But I know a way to get around that. If you'll excuse me I'll get back to Penssance and do a bit of telegraphing. But on your life, be very good to Capt Bob, tor I'm convinced he holds a valuable secret in that frauled nttle head of his." "When shall I sea you again?" she Inquired artlessly. "Oh, 111 run over to-morrow—to inquire after Capt. Bob/'I laughed as w* shook hands. I'm not vain, but I verily believe Mist Pendragon was loath to see me go—and who'd .blame her, living in that desolate corner of the realm? My errand to Penxance consisted in telegraphing to London for a firstclass phonograph—rush. As a result tha apparatus came down by the night train,* and was In my hands toon after breakfast next morning. Hiring a fly, I made all haste to reach Tintagel Priory, arriving there in time for Mother luncheon of strawberries and cream, and' cakes. But I lost no time In setting up tha phonograph, to bo in readiness for taking a record of Capt Bob's lucubrations. And, barring a H V N o P q R S ILL u *v <Vt*A% (LLI W iy**fe.<j X V . X - fijJLet P&JLIO &JL l(X Now, if the reader has followed me thus far' it will be seen that such words as "cue" and "jay" and "kay" being taken down phonetically, stood for Q equaling the queen; J equaling the jack; and K equaling the king, the color being givr*ji as a prefix—red or block for diamonds or spades. Also I found that the cipher depended on an alternation of the two colors, and that the word "double" was tiBed where' two similar letters followed each other, The early midsummer dawn was stealing through ray open windows ere I had unlocked the cipher, working now backwards, now forwards, and -with sundry checks. But finally I wa« able to interpret the parrot's message as follows: "Well, somebody must RO," I insisted. "The directions are plain enough. Give me a lantern and a supply of candles. I'll guarantee not to get lost," "No," she decided with blushing insistence. "You are doing this for me, Mr. Keppel; I will not hear of your running into danger on my account. We'll go together!" That suited me, for 1 didn't really take-any stock in the perils of King Arthur's cave. Where an old man of 80 could go, a youngster of six-andtwenty might surely venture. So we started by lifting a square of carpet in the old kitchen beneath which were revealed the outlined cracks of a trap door abouj. three feet by two.—T-feis we pried up by meanB of a pickax from the garden, and saw at our feet a narrow stairway of rude slabs.

But suddenly the celling rose sgaln, after going perhaps a hundred feet, and we fouad ourselves In another, though much smaller cave. "If this is gallery No. 2, we'll soon know the beat—or the worst," I ssdd with a chuckle. "Let's light the other lantern and seme candles/' This I did. sticking the tallow dips In the rocky crevices here and there, so that In Ave minutes we had a regular illumination. Then I consulted the cipher" nncp more, although I really kutjiv the ihiuK bv heart. "Look tor the Ugn of a crown. Miss Hendragon," I (ailed out. "You take that side; 111 take this." 9o pdund we went, scrutinizing every foot of the smooth rock, raising and lowering the lanterns at will. .:vi'c'enly her slender girlish treble : :: ng out; H e r e it is* I've found it!" 1 hurried to her Bide, and there, sure enough, breast high, was a rude (iritw'ing-of a five-pointed crown. '•'(><'or the mark,' it said," I quoted, S"Ming down on my hands and Unees Miss Pendragon did ftkewise and fheYe we were, our heads nearly touching, looking for we knew not what. Hut even as we knelt there the floor gave way, or rather the slab on which we knelt, tilted, one-half going into a cavity In the foor. the other rising fully two feet In air, •Til hold it!" i exclaimed, "while vou lower the lantern." It took both •uy hands to balance the huge 'flag. 'What do you see?" I inquired hoarsely. 'Why—-it's—just—full—of-^-money!" was the awed answer as the girl raised h^r startled eyes to mine. 1 was afilad she might faint, t h o u g h ! have ^ince been told that I was a goo?e to dream of such a thing, so 1 grave . at to a cackle of laughter, and cried out: "Three cheers for the par rot!" -.-.. This made her laugh and broke the tension. I let the stone fallback on its plvor, ;:nd after blowing out -the^ candles we made hand in hand for the trap-door, and the kitchen of Tintagel Priory. Well, my quest was ended—thanks to the baldheaded old gray parrot, you'll say—but at any rate it was I who unraveled the cipher. That night between dark and dawn, we removed all the treasure—it consisted entirely of gold guineas and sovereigns, and of silver coins, value about £20,006-^^8¾¾ ue.U day 1 helped Miss Pendragon deposit her fortune in the Falmouth bank. Of course Rullivants was pleased, and I received my meed of praise from headquarters, I trusf^-ith becoming •'modesty; ""'Hiit the story does Sot end here. Remembering the closing words of old John Pendrapon's queer cipher message: "Who finds keeps," it came about that I had found not only a very respectable monetary treasure, but one unspeakably greater. For six months later Miss Muriel Pandragon became Mrs. Ma^on Keppel. WINTER EGGS FROM HENS Farmer Wile's Method of Getting Plenty of Them in the Season of Cold Weather. V. C. Wile, a Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, poultryman, -lecturing on the timely subject of how to keep hens laying from the first of October until the last of February, said: "I am obtaining eggs from hens at this season of the year at a cost of only one cent per egg. For many persons, the cost is five cents to produce an ej;g in December. -'Now the secret lies in how to produce the greatest number'of eggs from the samfi number of hens. To Obtain that end, proper breeding,, feeding, housing and care are essential. The ration—f—ferd-'TB-y-taying hens and which costs me only five cents daily for 12 chickens, is choaen because of its ready assimilation, and consists of sprouted oats, beef scraps, cross-cut bones and a variety of wheat, barley,, corn and a little buckwheat.

A great many people visit this place annually. It can be reached by two routes, the electric caTBj which run from Washington, or by boat. This last is a favorite way, as it giveB one a delightful trip on the Potomac. It is well to go one route and return the other, for in both Instances historic -ground Is traveled to the very gates of Mount Vernon—that spot fllled with sacred memories. , Mount Vernon at first view presents a noble appearance. It stands on a hill 150 feet in height and the first glimpse reveals the h o n e which one recognizes Instantly. As the steamer nears t$e landing place and passes the tornb of Washington flags are lowered at half-mast and the bfcll is tolled, a custom said to have originated wjhen a commodore of the British navy-, as a iriark of respect, ordered his ship's bell. tolled wpen he passed Mount Vernon. J A world of history lies In this spot. Mount "Vjfrnon as it stands today embraces but 237 acres, afftmall part of the original estate which, by grant of Iaord Culpeper in 1074, became the property of/ John Washington. From John Washington hilf of the estate descended to Lawrence Washington and it was he who built the house and named It Mount Vernon in honor of Lord Vernon, the British admiral under whom he had sensed. Later the property fell to Cteorg* Washington, who purchased adjoining land. In 1799, when George Washington died, the property passed ae a life interest to his wife and later BuBhrod Washington, Jphn Augustine Washington and John A. Washington, Jr., followed in succession as owners of Mount Vernon. In 1855 the \owner, though possessed of a'JaTge estate hallowed by sacred memories and associations. felt be « t f unable to maintain it, as it was not productive of material benefits. Botft the national government and the state of Virginia were approaXhed in regard to purchasing it. Finally through an agitation started by Ann Pamela Cunningham the Mount Vernon Ladles' association of the U s i e o wa» organised and 200 acres- of the V e r m e*tate\ including -the tomb, manfilon, attendant buildings ami wharf, were purchased for $200,000. The approach * is through a. gateway to an attractive green, which extends to the mansion. To the left and right are flower and kitchen gardens and many old trees, which were planted by Washington and his guests. One in particular is a large magnolia, which was set oat by Washington in 1799, the year in which he died. George Washington enlarged tti<T origi- .. -nal villa, built by Lawrence Washington, by increasing, its length and height, completing its improvements in 1786. Its foundation walls are of stone and brick, the framework oak and the sheathing pine, painted and stained to resemble stone. The roof is of cypress shingles and a spaclous and well-drained cellar underlies the whole house. This Is Mount Vernon and the large brass knocker on the central door of the west front indicates that this was the usual point of approach to the mansion. Nearby is the sun dial in the center of a spacious court, flarfked by several frame buildings consisting of kitchen and offices, which are joined to the main buildings by, colonnades. When tbe threshold is crossed what mingled feetingB of awe and respect fill the heart! How the thoughts fly as the relics displayed in the different rooms are viewed! Several of the states have restored the various rooms at their own expense and many objects of the past greet the visitor. Here is the key to the Ba&tile, the prison so famous during the French revolution. Lafayette presented this to Washington in-1789 an a "trophy of the spoils of despotism." There is the music room with the harpsichord which George Washington presented to Nellie Custis as a wedding present. In the room is the original Chippendale sideboard and the iron fireback brought to this country by Lord Fairfax, friend of Washington. Every room in the o*ld mansion contains something of historical interest, but visitors are naturally drawn to the room in which Washington died. Here is the big four-posted bed upon which he lay when death overtook him. The quaint canopy and fixings of the bed have*been restored and some of Washington's personal effects add' much to the impressiveness of the spot. Among these are his military chest and camp equipment. The family kitchen, with its quaint colored dishes, iron kettles and swinging cranes, is a point of interest, while the smoke house nearby, larder and spring house show that many guests were fed and much material prepared to clothe the' slaved and provide for the general use of the family. Each Is fitted up in the style of the time in which Washington lived. Among all the charms of the home of Washington not one can eclipse the ideal flower garden, with its box hedges indelibly marking the walks and flower beds as in the past. Quests of distinction were mvlted -to—plant tret;H, shrubs ' and gjpwers, mementoes of their visits. La.fa.VUlte"and Jefferson have leafy monuments here, and* the roses named by Washington fcr his mother and others named for him and Nellie Custis still flourish. At the end of the long walk in the garden is the livtle schoolhouse in which the Custis children were taug.ht, The oldest building is the barn, erected in 17,1.1 by George Washington's father. The English brick are laid in strong mortar made of oyster shell lime, and he^re were kept the coach and saddle horses.- The white chariot, as the traveling coach was called, was kept in a carriage house nearby. South of the mansion on a brow of the hill overlooking the Potomac is the summer house. It contains a beautiful view of the river and its deep cellar was once used as an ice he-use.. Nearby Is the deer paddock, which has been stocked with Virginia deer. Though a tour of inspection develops historical attractions at every turn, the chief point of interest on the grounds is the new tomb of Washington, which stands several yards distant from the old mausoleum that once held the ashes of the Washington family. It is beautifully located in a clump of trees and flowering plants and vines surround it on all sides. This simple yet eloquent statement marks its importance. It was planned by George Washington and built by his executors. Within the iron portals one may see the catafalque that contains the remains of Washington and the sarcophagus that holds the body-of his wife. In the rear of the tomb is anCirhn door that opens into the receptacle that contains the the remains of others of the Washington family, The iron grating that closes the outside\entrance has been heightened, for at one time a vandal attempted to climb over it. The gite Is locketrTaWTtrekey is said to have been burled in the Potomac To the memory of Bushrod Washington and John Augustine Washington, successors to the general, marble stafts were erected in front of the tomb. An old negro stands near at hand and for many years has discoursed to visitors on the spot and Its surroundings^ The -simplicity of ~the~~ tomb Ts characteristic of the man and those that gaze upon the resting place of the great hero instinctively speak In whispers an'd are awed by the memories associated with the place. One is bewitched and enthralled with the place and lingers long on this spot, where reposes that which is mortal of him who was as brave a warrior, as stanch a patriot and as able a statesman as ever lived.

Clung to His Queue Speaking of Wu Ting-Pang's published announcement that he would part with, his queue in the near future, a former resident of a New England manufacturing town said: "Times have certainly changed. Twenty years ago a Chinese youth who had learned to speak English fairly well and who was sick of the laundry applied for work in my factory, He was the first of his .race to do so in our to*m, and after talking the matter over I concluded to give him a trial. Fearing that the queue might be a source of danger near machinery, I suggested that he have it cut off. After two/ weeks' deliberation he came'to me and said, 'Stay in laundry.' A few weeks later he left town and 1 never saw him again, but I heard that Ma having considered my proposition made htm so unpopular that hi had to leave the place." t.. A success.

The Shire horse is essentially the English farmer's own. Across the border the Clydesdale holds sway. It is flattering to the English breeder to know that America and Canada are now taking more Shires than they have ever done before. England today is being constantly scoured by American buyers for the right kind of Shire horses. The English Shire horse has improved vastly of recent years, in uniformity of type,, in feet, action and has vastly better pasterns and quality of hair and bone. The farmer's brood mare—the -rent payer—is a real feminine type, namely, neither of the gelding or the stallion appearance. She is always mated to a stallion of great masculinity, possessing good, wide, strong feet, and is naturally a free mover, with flat, sou-nd bone, of strong consittution and as big as possible. In the large studs the greatest care is taken over the matter of suitable stallions selected. Very few traveling stallions are to be found without a veterinary surgeon's certificate of soundness. '-li anything, some of the Tarmers who have found breeding a rapid means of acquiring wealth, are in- HORSESHOEING IS SCIENCE clined to get quality at the expense of weight and substance. Shows are the best advertisement that fthe English tenant-farmer has for getting rid of h l i wares to the landlord or the rich breeder. Shows in an English summer are as plentiful as sparrows. They are held upon the slightest provocation, where two or three horse breeders are gathered together. One of the most gratifying features of the Shire horse breeding in the old country, is that tiie rich man settles in the locality, or suddenly becomes prominent as a breeder of first-class animals. He spends no end of money on buying and maturing. These often fall into the hands of the farmer cheaply, and very often the farmer-sells back their offspring at considerable prices. Shire service is cheap In England, when one considers the enormous outlay of some of the breeders, and the No M a n I s F u l l y E q u i p p e d , f o r T e a k U n l e s s H e U n d e r s t a n d s A n o t o m y of A n i m a l ' s F o o t - A d v a n c e B e i n g M a d e . tenant farmer, or the~"Tirmet—wJicse_ land is only rented, has all the benefits of his rich proprietor's patronage. The old country may have oldfashioned ways, but the farmer knows when he is well off and he knows that to raise Shire horses successfully is to have a bank balance and to have no haunting fears from a disastrous season. the hnrse in such a way that thjf evils arising from these defects will be lessened or overcome entirely. 4 HEREDITY can Be Overcome in Cases, The influence of heredity cannot, of course, be successfully, disputed, but it can be minimized or entirely overcome in same cases by correct foodand drink. A Conn, lady says: "For years while I was a coffee drinker I suffered from bilious atta<$ e~ of great severity, from which I used to (JgaeTge- as whtjp as a-ghost and very weak. Our family physician gave me various prescriptions for improving the digestion and stimulating the liver, which I tried faithfully but without perceptible result. "He was acquainted with my family history for several generations back, and once when I visited him he said: 'IfL-yott .have 4nborlted -one- -of- ' t h o s e torpid livers you may always suffer more or less from its inaction. We can't dodge our inheritance, you know.' "I was not so strong a believer in heredity a s he was, however, and, beginning to think for myself, I concluded to stop drinking coffee, and see what effect that would have. X feared it would be a severe trial to give it up, but when I took Postum' and had it well made, It completely filled my seed for a hot beverage and I grewvery fond of it. 1 have used Postum for three years, using,.no medicine. During all that time I have had absolutely none of the bilious-attacks that I used to suffer from, and I have been entirely free from the pain and debilitating effects that used to result from them. "The change. 1* .surely very great, a n d I a m . compelled to give Postnfh t b e * e * e l w ! t e credit for lt.M.

Formerly the ordinary blacksmith, who knew very little about the underlying principles that should- govern horse shoeing, was called upoirto-shoe horses. As a result very much of the work done was inferior and such work re-acted in many instances against the usefulness of the horse that was thus shod. The advance that has been made in this branch of blacksmithing during recent years, has been very great. The work of shoeing horses is so variable in its requirements that no small degree of skill is required on the part of those engaged in the business. It would perhaps be correct to say that no horse shoer is fully equipped for his wdrk who does "not understand considerable about the anatomy of the horse's foot. He should also be able to detect defects in the animal's locomotion and should know how to shoe Neighborhood Exchanges. The difficulty of exchanging tools and labor with neighbors is in the personality. Some men will expect to use borrbwed tools all through the favorable weather and then return i them in a damaged condition too late to be of much use to the owner. In borrowing labor this kind of neighbor will work the hired man half to death and then in returning the labor spend half his time telling stories. In exchanging labor or anything else pick out a farmer who will practice the golden rule. New Mint Region. Peppermint growers of New York and Michigan .will meet competition from the reclaimed lands of Louisiana. A distillation plant is also in operation. A party of expert agriculturists recently inspecting the region were convinced that the crop can be'grown in- limited quantities at a good profit. Peppermint oil was imported into the United States during the fiscal year to the extent of 1,238 pounds, worth $6,416, while the exports of American peppermint oil amounted to 161,811 pounds, worth $288,318.

Even the Bank of England has not been entirely free from runs nor from the necessity of saving itself by strategy, In 1745, for instance, it was forced to employ agents to present notes, which were paid as slowly as possible in sixpences, the cash being immediately brought in by another^ door and paid in again, while,anxious holders of notes vainly tried to secure attention. In 1825, too, only the accidental discovery f of 700,000 £ 1 notea saved the bank from stopping payment.—London Chronicle. As a Reminder.

It-first came when she was between three and four weeks old, appearing on her head. I used everything imaginable and had one> doctor's bill after another, but nothing cured it. Then the eczema broke out so badly behind her ear that I really lliuuglii-libT oar wuuld cuuie off. Fof months I doctored i,t but to no avail. Then it began at her nose and her eyes were nothing but sores. I had to keep her in a dark room for two weeks. The doctor did no good, so I stopped him coming "For about two weeks I had used Cutlcura Soap for her every day, then I got a box of Cfiticura Ointment and began to use that. In a week there was a marked improvement. In all I used two cakes of Cutlcura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and my baby was cured of the sores. This was last November; now her hair is growing out nicely and she has not a scar on her, I can not praise Cutlcura enough, I can take my child anywhere and people are amazed to see her without a sore, From the time she was four weeks old until she was three years she was never without the terrible eruption, but now, thanks to Cuticura, I have a well child."

That Is the number of young men killed in football In the whole country tbia year, or as, many Pennsylvanians as have died from this cause in a century. These figures are offered not to prove that football la without a certain amount of risk, but to show that all human occupations are occompanied by some dangers; says the Philadelphia Inquirer. The law of averages is a remarkable one. It indicates that about a certain; number of persons die each year from fortuitous causes and if one clafcs is lacking the other supplies the deficiency. Parents who are afraid their boys will be injured er killed playing football may be encouraged by the fact that It is proved to be one of the most innocuous of sports. The danger from death or severe injury in any college sport is not anything like so great as that 6f being run down by an automobile or trolley car. Human life is precious and must be conserved. Science has done much for those who err in certain directions, but it has nothing to offer those who suffer from pure accident. All of which means that what is needed by young and old is simply a modicum of common sense. It is not to be foi gotten that the motber-^vh© kept' her boy home from school because he dreamed he had died was an actual mourner a few hours later because he fell off the roof. Let us all act sensibly, wltli courage, faith and proper caution. Those who take the most pains to escape accidents are apt to be the wors^ sufferers, but it is certain that boyish sports are not dangerous compared with the" most ordinary avocations of adults. T H E R E V I EW OF ASSESSMENTS MAY BE GIVEN BACK TO T A X COMMISSION. W A R D E N RUSSELL'S DEFENSE OF P U N I S H M E N T S FOR BAD PR1SONER8. Review of Things That Are Before the Legislature and Which Are Receiving Attention. BY L. C. WARD. There seems to be no question but that the legislature is going to give nack to the state tax commission the power to review local assessments on its own initiative and also that the commission will be given the appropriation necessary to engage the required help. A bill of Rep. Lord's, providing for this, was favorably re- ( ported out in the house and over in the senate Senator White introduced four bills on the tax subject. Two of them provides for the authority contained in the Lord bill, one creates a new state board of equalization and provides that it shall meet every two years instead of every five years, as in the past, and the other provides for an investigation of the- mining property of the state by a board of experts. When public drains are now authorized in farming, districts tne cost t* defrayed by first fixing a. drainage assessment district. Then /the cost is spread over one to three' tax years. The result is that the amount some farmers in the district must pay each year equal* or exceeds all their other taxes, so it Is a hardship. Besides, the contractors sell their pay certificates to local banks at 10 to 15 per cent discount, which means that they have b«en paid for the work that amount in excess of what they could have profitably done it for had they been paid in cash or bonds. To remedy this condition farmers ask that they be allowed to issue drainage bonds and Rep. Currie, of Midland, has introduced a bill for them. It provides that if the cost of a drain in a drainage district exceeds $2,000 bonds can be issued to pay the contractors, the bonds to run as long as I J years, providing two-thirds of the taxpayers in the district so petition, and a majority of the board of supervisors consent. Ohio and Iowa have such a law. A New York chauffeur, 17 years"Om, convicted of manslaughter in the second degree while on a Joy ride, baa been sentenced to ppend 1& years in the Elmira reformatory. The judge remarked that the next Joy rldar brought before Wria would bo sentenced to Sing Sing, adding: "You are only 17 years old, and it seems to me that the state of New York is guilty Itself in permitting such a youth as you to drive an automobile on our public thoroughfares." The Judge was right both In inflicting the penalty and in his comment on the~ recklessness that permits children to handle these powerful machines, says the Indianapolis Star. It is not until adequate ]junishment~TtP"fri('asured out to careless automobile drivers that their disregard for public rights will be checked. At the same time it is worth while ro remember that not all the many accidents by any means occur whenyoung drivers are in charge.-"""" There i-s the Anderson case for example, reported the other day, where a business man. of mature years turned to look back -while driving -his machine, and at that moment ran down and killed a child. Canada has custom house troubles also. It seems some of the fair damsels and matrons of t b # " Dominion have the habit of coming'over to "the States," getting new gowns and wear ing them back across the border, without going through the form «arf paying duty, says the Troy Times. And it is mere than hinted that the ladies not Infrequently roduige in smuggling in other ways. So the Canaddan collectors have taken a leaf from the book ol Collector Lo«b -of New York and a1 the more Important line* of travel to and from the Dominion have est a h Ltebed extra vigilant^ guards, assisted by women searchers. The result has been some clever captures .and a con siderable addition to the Canadian revenue. From ail of which it will be seen that trying to cheat the govern ment Is a practice confined tp no on* clime or country. Pnoportionately, tt is said, the lumber of Insane people in this country ii increasing faster than the population is growing, taking asylum statistics fot i t Even at that, there is scarcely a fellow but will declare that the asy luras don't get them ail, either.

Warden Russell, of Marquette prison, who has been under ....fire, .from members of the legislature because cf his method of conducting, the prison, came back wth a speech made to the associated prison boards in Lansing. He took up the question of corporal" punishment nad showed that he had the worst convicts in the state sent to him because they _. could not be handled in JacKsbn, "where"there is ho corporal punishment. He also rapped Rep, Ogs. who has introduced a bill to abolish corporal punishment, exceedingly hard. Warden Russell was joined in his position by Wardens Fuller of Ionia and Simpson of Jackson. , A Drain Bill. Rep. Baldwin has introduced an important drain bill in the House. It •provides that in the case of a dispute between counties over-the paying for an intei-ijuunly drain thai 11 the pal1- ties can't pet together, that the state tax commission will be called as a board of arbitration and settle the question of bow the assessment Is to be levied. He has also introduced a bill for the payment in cities and townships -of- a dog tax which «s- to go into a- 1'und to pay for—4xvma-j?esdogs may do to animals or property. Work Is Dragging. Wliilo there- have he-en nearly ,JM more blihv introduced this .session tharrt-wo- years ago at the "same period, the legislature haifacrompllshed practically nothing. The House bars been worr.yjH^'.alona;, dealing with a great mixify unimportant things, but nothing oi really great importance has heen tackled nt all. From the present indications there is likely to be a session which will run right up to .June. Various Matters. ; T h e Ranh'in bill prohibiting high school fraternities was passed by the House, and it 1« likely to pass the Senate. The question of a Junket bill -still bothers the legislators and the question was thrashed over again on Wednesday. Hut a point of order was raised that sent the whole affair to committee again. An effort will be made in this legislature, it is rumored, to pass a bill substituting city, village and town- •ship lunal option for the, present conn-"" ty local option law. A similar bill has just been passed In Indiana and in Minnesota, where they have the smaller unit, the legislature has aujsstturned down a bill for county option. The Anti-Saloon league wl]>fight thfc measure in •M-iehiganr-<-a's it "would jriean_Lhal_iLiyQuld he-.almost impossible to vote^-ahV of the cities dry, In alrnqst-'all of the counties which are.jwfw dry, the cities gave wet majorities, but were voted dry by -the country districts. Reciprocity. The Democratic members of t h e legislature are all shattered on the question of reciprocity. The farmer members are opposed to the agreement, while the city members are for rt, and the two factions are being heartily laughed at by the Republicans. Mineral Reservation. The mineral reservation tax bill was up in the Senate Tuesday, hut was sent back to the committee because of the opposition to it. Senator Mortar ty claimed that it wonld prohibit any one buying land In the upper peninsula. The Bradley Case. The committee which investigated the charges made agaVist Senator Bradley will not report for several days yet. The report is to be a lengthy affair and the evidence laid before the committee will be pretty thoroughly gone into Because of the fight with Speaker Baker in the House, it has been proposed that no institutional committee be permitted to make trips of investigation and that no special appropriations be allowed. This meets with the partial endorsement of the governor, who says the spirit of economy demands that the special appropriations be cut as low as possible this year In order that the tax trad Ret may be kept within bounds and the deficits paid up, putting Michigan once more upon her feet. The Jnuket question Is still in the air. . The two houses now have the matter in conference but the senate is going to insist on the house adopting its plan—sending just the members of the ways and means commttee to visit the state Institutions. Justices will not lose their jobs as was planned in the bill by which the justices courts throughout the state were to give way to county courts. Attorney General Kuhn hre ruled that It will be unconstitutional to attempt to lr;1slete them out of boilneii under the terms of the bill Frank Knox's conference relative to the initiative, referendum and recall amendments to the state constitution resulted in an agreement that a poll of the House and Senate should be made at the earliest moment to see what chance these measures had for passage. Those who are opposed to the measures will then be flooded with letters, 5,000 of which the state grange is ready to send out. Another plan to awaken interest among those wavering on the proposition will be to bring to Lansing Senator Bourne of Oregon to talk to the members and endeavor to stir them up to the point of submitting the question. The Bradley graft hearing was concluded Friday morning with, tire" arguments of the attorneys. The taking of testimony was completed on Thursday afternoon. The special -committee will report sometime next week, but just when has not been decided. The evidence supported the story of Sherman H. Townsend very strongly and Senator Bradley contradicted himself and was very vague in his answers on the stand. _ If the committee reports that the charge of Townsend that Senator Bradley asked *75 from him for securing Townsend a job has been sustained it will be up to the Senate to declare vacant the seat of the senator from the eighteenth. Senator John Leidlein, of Saginaw war; elected president cf the State Board of Supervisors nt their meeting in Lansing last week. The supervisors passed resolutions asking the passage of a number of laws, among ihem the repeal of the soldier redemption law, a law that there be no appeal from the action of boards of supervision on claims, that county treasurers be allowed to deduct fees on Inheritance taxes, that the bonds of drain contractors be made broad enough to prevent them being paid for work before it Is completed and a number of others. Fen. 1(5 is t h e date set for the big battle in the House over the tonnage, tax. Right on top of this measure, which is so bitterly opposed by the mining companies, comes one which they consider even worse. This Is to tax the mines aB now on an ad Talorem basis and in addition tax them on their net incomes. By this means and T»y taxing all corporations on a similar basis it is hoped to make them pay all the state taxes, leaving to the individual property owners only the necessity of paying local 't&xes. Gov. Oshorn Is not going to push his suggestion for an amalgamation of the various medical boards. There has been so much objection and the doctors have demonstrated that there can he no harmony among them unless they have their several boards that it is not likely that anything wITl be done about the matter. The eprfng convention -will be held on March 2; and there promises to be a fight over reciprocity there. If the 1ssne Is Ignored it wffl be taken in some sections as a blow at President Taft, but on the other hand the farmers are sure to oppose any sanctioning of new trade relations with Canada. Laneta*.—FraakW. Phillips, profes-v sor of-^forestry in the Nebraska state university, who ended.his life by inhaling gas in his home in Lincoln, Neb., was a former student of the Miehlgai/ Agricultural college here.

Still, there is little doubt but that some kind of measure dealing with this subject will be passed. The bill asked by Governor Osborn providing for a commission 'to inves* tlgate all departments of the stale has passed. It carries with It an $8,000 appropriation. Resolutions have been introduced in the Senate both for and against the reciprocity program of President Taft. However, the sentiment, is so divided that it is impossible to predict what will be done. A Democratic resolution has also been Introduced ta the House, bat as It attack's the Republican party instead of boosting reciprocity there i> no chance of fti passing.

Following up this information it is found that the yields throughout the provinces of .Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, a s given the writer by agents of the Canadian Government stationed in different parts of the States, have been splendid. A few of the instances are given: Near Redvers, Sask., Jens Hortness threshed about 50 acres of wheat, averaging 29 bushels to the a c r e Near Elphmstone, Sask., many of the crops of oats would run to nearly 100 bushels to the acre. A Mr. Muir had about 200 acres of this grain and he estimates the yield at about 60 bushels per acre. Wheat went 35 bushels to the acre on the farm of Mr. A. Loucks, near Wymyard, Sask., in the fall of 1910. K. Erickson had 27 and P, Solvason 17. In the Dempster (Man.) district last year, wheat went from 25 to 3Q bushels per acre. Fifteen acres on the Mackenzie & Mann farm today went forty-three bushels to the acre. In the Wainwrlght and Battleriver ''districts yields of wheat averaged for the district 26 bushels to the acre. M. B. Ness, of the Tofield, Alberta, district, got 98 bushels and 28 lbs. of oats to the acre, while near Montrose, over 94 bushels of oats to the acre was threshed by J.

It Is a common belief that the negro's head is hard, capable of withstanding almost any blow. The following story told by a prouii^ nent young dentist of Danville,--HI,,, would seem to indicate somethijlg^ipf^ the kind anywhere. Two pegro\'m©|r;' were employed on tearing down JL three-story brick building. One negro was on top ot the building taking off the bricks and sliding them down a narrow wooden chute to the ground, some thirty feet below, where . the other was picking them up and piling them. When this latter negro was stoop-- ing over to pick up a brick the former accidentally let one fall, striking him •directly on the head.

He tries to set woi'k<*;nid fails. A former college churn m a k e s :x business proposition to Howard which requires $"J,0O0 cash, and Howard i s broke. CHAPTER II.—Continued. • "You know I wouldn't, Annl^," he said earnestly. "Not one second have I ever regretted marrying you—that's honest to God!" , A faint flush of pleasure lit up the young wife's face. For all her assumed lightheadedness she was badly lin need of this; reassurance. If she 'thought Howard nourished secret re* jgrets it would* break her heart. She ')could stand anything, any hardship, ibut not that. She would leave him at [once. In a way she held herself responsible for his present predicament. She lhad felt a deep sense of guilt ever [since that afternoon In New Haven 'when, listening to Howard's importunities and obeying an impulse she. !was powerless to resist, she had flung [aside her waitress' apron, furtively [left the restaurant and hurried with (him to the minister who declared Itheia man and wife. . Their marriage was a mistake, of coarse. Howard was in no position *©»jceswry. They should have waited. prhey both realized their folly now. iBut what was done could not be undone. She realized, too? that it was iwbrse for Howard than it was for her. It had ruined his prospects at J +*•- line outset of his career and threatjened to be an irreparable blight on his entire life. She realized that she was largely to blame. She had doi\e wrong to marry him and at times she 'reproached herself bitterly. There were days when their union assumed In her -eyes the enormity of a a crime. She should have seen what a social gulf lay between them. All these taunts and insults from his family which she now endured she had foolishly brought upon her own head. But -*he—had rratri>eBiratte - t o - r e s i s t 4 h e - temptation. Howard came into hpr life when the outlook wa/^hi^ftry^aiid hopeless. He had offered to her whai seemed a haven against the cruelty and selfishness of the world. Happifor the first time in her life within reach and she had not the moral courage to say "No." -4f Annie had no education she was not without brains. She had sense , enough to realize that her bringing up or the lack of it was an unsurmountable barrier to her ever being admitted to the inner circle of Howard's family. If her husband's father had not married again the breach might have been crossed in" time, but his new wife was a prominent member of t h e smart set, a woman full of aristocratic notions, who recolied<with nor* r d r at having anything to do with a girl guilty of the enormity of earning fcuher own living. Individual merit, inr? herent nobility of character, amiability of disposition, and a personal repu- • tation untouched by scandal—-all this went for nothing—because unacconvfpanied by wealth or social position. j Annie had neither wealth nor position. She had not even education. They considered her common, impossible. They were ever ready to lend an ear to certain ugly stories regarding her past, none of which were true. After their marriage, Mr. Jeffries, Sr„ and his wife absolutely refused to receive her or have any communication with \ her whatsoever. #As long, therefore, as Howard remained faithful to her, " t h e breach with his family could never be healed. "Have some more stew, dear," she said, extending her hand for her husband's plate. Howard shook his head and threw down his knife and fork. "I've bad enough," he said despondently. "I haven't much appetite." She looked at him with concern. "Poor boy, you're tired out!" As she noted how pale and dejected he appeared, her eyes filled with sympathetic tears. She forgot the, appalling number of cigarettes he smoked a day, nor did she realize bow abuse of alcohol had spoiled his - stomach for solid food. I wish I knew where to go and get that $2,000," muttered Howard, his mind still preoccupied with Coxe's proposition. Lighting another cigarette, h e leaned back in .his chair an,d lapsed into silence. Annie sat and watched him, wishlog she could suggest some way to solve the problem that troubled him. She loved her husband with all her heart and soul. His very weakness of character endeared him the more to her. She was not blind to his faults, but aha excused, theto. His, Ttesa, his dtiuong, cigarette smoki&g • a d ganerai snlfflis—iso the result « ha* comacKT, (909, av o.w. DILLINCHAM COMPANY He was self-indulgent. He made many good resolutions and broke them. Hut he was not really vicious. He had a good heart. With some one to watch him and keej) him in the straight path he would still give a good account of himself to the world. She was confident of that. Siie recognized many excellent qualities in'him. They onlywanted fostering and bringing out. That was why she married him. She was a few years his senior; she felt that she was the stronger mentally. She considered it was her duty to devote her life to him, to protect him from himself and make a man of him. It was not her fault, she mused, if she was not a lady. Literally brought up in the gutter, what advantages had she had? Her mother died in childbirth and her father, a professional gambler, abandoned tfce AUtle girl to the tender mercies of an indifferent neighbor. When she was about eight years old her father was arrested. He refused to pay police blackmail, was indicted, railro&ded to prison and died soon after in convict stripes. There was no provision for Annie's maintenance, so at the age of" nine she found herself toiling in a factory, a helpless victim of the brutalizing system of child slavery, which in spite of prohibiting laws still disgraces the United States. Ever since that -time she had earned her own living. The road had often been hard, there were times when she thought she would have to give up the fight; other girls j n"0 e v e r w a g she had met had hinted at an easier way of earning one's living, but she had kept her courage, refused to listen, to evil counsel and always managed to keep her name unsullied. She left the factory to work behind the counter in a New York dry goods store. Then about a year ago she drifted to New Haven and took the position of waitress at the restaurant which the college boys patronized. —Robert tJiidt'l'Woud trer*—among the there must be this rupture with his family, yet something within told her that she was doing God's work—saving a man's soul. Without her, Howard would have gone swiftly to ruin, there was littlVdoubt of that. His affection for her had partly, if not wholly, redeemed him and was keeping him straight. He had ber-n good to her ever since their marriage and done everything to mak^JsTer comfortable. Once he took a position as guard on the elevated road, but caught cold and was forced to give it up. She wanted to go to work again, but he angrily refused. That aloue showed that he was not entirely devoid of character. He was unfortunate at present nnd they were poor, but by dint of perseverance he would win out and make a position for himself without his father's help. These were their darkest days, but light was ahead. As long as they loved each other and had their health what more was necessary? "Say, Annie, I have an idea," suddenly blurted out Howard. "What ia it, dear?" she asked, her reveries thus abruptly interrupted. "I mean regarding thafc>$2,000. You know all about that $250 which I once lent Underwood. I never got it back, although I've been after him many times for it. He's a slippery customer. Hut under the circumstances I think it's worth another determined effort. He seems to be better fixed now than He's living at the Astruria, making a social splurge and all that sort of thing. lie must have money, I'll try to borrow the $2^00 from him." "He certainly appears to be prosperous," replied Annie. "I see his name in the newspapers all the time. There is hardly an affair at which he is not present." Yes," growled Howard; "I don't sc<> how he does it. He travels on his students who came almost every day. He made love to her from the start, and one day attempted liberties which she was prompt to resent in a way he did not relish. After that he let her alone? She never liked the man. She knew him to be unprincipled ns well as vicious. One night he brought Howard Jeffries to the restaurant. They seemed the closest of cronies and she was sorry to see what bad influence the elder sophomore had over the y_riung_Ire£h.rnaiL_ to jQ-hxun she was at once attracted. Every time they came she watched them and she noticed how under his mentor 'Howard became more hardened. He drank more and more and became a reckless gambler^ Underwood seemed to exercise a baneful spell over him. She saw that he would sorm he ruined with such a man as Underwood for a constant companion. Her interest in the young student grew. They became acquainted and Howard, not realizing that she was older than he, was immediately captivated by her vivacious charm and her commonsense views. They saw each other more frequently and their friendship grew until one day Howard asked her to marry him. While she sometimes blamed herself for having listened too willingly, to Howard's pleadings, she did not altogether regret the step she had taken. It was most unfortunate that cheek, principally, I guess. His name was among those present at my stepmother's musteale t h e ' other night." Httterly he added: "That's how the world goes. There is no place for me under my father's roof, but that blackguard is welcomed with open arms!" "1 thought your father was such a proud man," interrupted Annie. "How does he come to associate with people like Underwood?" --Oh, pa-t^-F^s-^an-old dolt!'' exclaimed aged to make herself popular in the smart set and she needed money to carry out her social ambitions. Dad— wealthy widower—came along and she caught him in her net, that's all!" Annie listened with interest. She was human enough %a feel a certain sense of satisfaction in hearing that this woman who treated her with such contempt was herself something of an intriguer. „ "How did your stepmother come to know Robert Underwood?" she asked. "He was never in society." "No," replied Howard with a grin.' "It was my stepmother who gave him the entree. You know she was once engaged to him, but broke it off so she could marry dad. lie felt very sore over it at the time, but after her marriage he was seemingly as friendly with her as ever—to serve his own ends, of course. It is simply wonderful what influence he has with her. He exercises over her the same fascination that he did over me at colic;;:1. He has sort of hypnotized her. I don't think it's a case of love or anything like, that, but he simply holds her under his thumb and gets her to do anything he wants. She invites him to her homu\ introduces him right and left, got people to take him up. !•: very body laughs about it in society, ("tiderwood is known us Mrs. Howard .Jeffries' pet. Such a thing s'oon gets talked about. That is the secret of his successful career in New York. As far as I know, she's as much infatuated with him us ever." A look of surprise came into Annie's face. *To this young woman, whose one idea of matrimony was steadfast loyalty to tho man whose life she shared and whose name she bore, there was something repellent and nauseafing in a woman permitting herself to be talked about in that way. "Doesn't your father object?" she asked. " P s h a w ! ' laughed Howard. "He doesn't see what's going on under his very nose. He's too proud a man, too sure of his own good judgment, to believe for a moment that the woman .to whom he gave his name would be guilty of the slightest indiscretion of that kind." Annie was silent for a minute. Then she said1 "What makes you think that Underwood would let you have the money?" "Because I think he's got it.' I obliged him once in the same w a y myself. I would explain to him what T w a n t if tnr H P w i l l tinn nf nnno GO THROUGH? HOUSE PASSES RECIPROCITY B I L L W H I C H IS NOW UP TO T H E SENATE.

I'll offer him a good rate of interest, and he might be very glad to let mo have it. Anyhow, there's no harm Trying." — Annie said nothing. She did not entirely approve this idea of her husband trying to borrow money ot a man in whom his stepmother Was so much interested. On the other hand starvation stared them in the face. If Howard could get hold of this $2,000 and start in the brokerage business it might lie the beginning of a new President Taft's proposed agreemen for reciprocity between the United States and Canada passed the house of representatives Tuesday night by the efforts of the Democrats, who voted solidly for the measure. Of the Republicans present a majority of nine declared against the trade agreement. The final majority in favor was 129. and as 14.3 Democrats were on the majority side it is evident that without their stand the measure would have been defeated. Of the VI Michigan members thr.ee voted against reciprocity, seven did not vote and two were with the majority. Against: Fordney, Douais and' Mc- Laughlin. For: Denby and Young. Not voting: Townsend, Gardner, Hamilton, Diekema,. S. W. Smith, Mc- Morran andj^oud. Attention of whole country now is directed toward' the senate whioh will soon be the arena for a still more desperate light over the agreement. According to the latest reports, passage of the measure is believed: in administration circles to depend on the attitude of Senators Bailey of Texas and Hepburn of Idaho, who, it is said,' might effectually kill the measure by ?. joint filibuster. In the Canadian house Hon. George' E. Foster bitterly attacked reciprocity as delivering up the natural resources ot Canada to American combines, as a cutting loose from Britain and as tending toward annexation. The McCall bill now goes to the What its fate will be in that body is problematical. Mr, Taft believes that if_a filibuster can be avoided and a vote taken the bill will pass.

When the Geneva- Munich express arrived at Bregenz tho station master had a coach containing seven travelers uncoupled from the express and detained for examination. H° had been warned by telegraph from Zurich that seven smugglers of Geneva were in the train with a large quantity of saccharin. After an exhaustive search the officials galled to find any contraband and were about to apologize to the seven travelers for their detention when one customs inspector accidentally kicked a hot water pipe in a first class compartment and the secret was revealed. Ail the hot water pipes in the carriage were in duplicate, dfffering in no detail as to length, breadth and color, but one set was of /metal and the other set made of papier mache containing saccharin, which is about nine times as expensive in Austria as in Switzerland. came at the end of a long debate wJilch at times was as bitter as has been heard on the floor of that chamber for" years, The fi£ht was confined almost wholly to ttie Repnbllcan side.

The first bulletin described his majesty as suffering from a cold, but with the absence of any fever. Subsequently it was admitted that an attack of feverish influenza had been experienced.

Curiosity, however, BOO* perished, and Dicky took his place among the heterogeneous Utter ol the coast— the stranded adventurers, refugees and odd fish from other countries tbat line the shore of the Caribbean. He was an active, devil-may-care, rollicking fellow with an engaging gray eye. t i e most irresistible grin, a rather dark, or much eun-fctrraed complexion, and a head of the fieriest red nair ever Been ra that country. Speak- Lig the Spanish language as well as B spoke English, and seeming always to have plenty of silver ta his pockets, tt was not longJ>eToreJhe w a s a welcome companion both with Che natives and*the resident foreigners. He developed an extreme fondness for vino hlaacboi could drink more rof it than any three men in the port, and to meet Dicky Matoney's brilliant head and smile coming down the street meant, to any of his acquaintances, the consumption Of from one to three bottles of strong. w"b1te wine. Everybody called Mm Dicky: everybody cheered up at sight of him—especially the natives to whom his marvelous «nddy hair and his free and easy style latere a constant delight and envy. A **i A considerable amount of speculat i o n still existed concerning the object of hie stay In Puerto Hey, but one day he silenced this by opening a small shop for the sale of cigars, dulces and the frynfltwni<k nt tho in. :.-7 IV-- -* terlor Indians—fiber and silk woven goods, deerskin zapatos, and basketwork of tule reeds. Even then he did not change his habits, for he was drinking and playing cards half the day and night with the comandante, the collector of the port, the Jefe Politico, and other gay dogs among the native officials. The care of the shop he left entirely to Pasa. And now:Jt - Is both desirable and fitting to make 'Paha's' acquaintance, for she was "h iSjcky's Digression. £ La Madama Timotea Buencamlnos y Salazar de las Yglesias kept a rum -shop In Calle numero ocho.

That Dicky Maloney would, sooner . or later, explore this field was a thing to be foreseen. There were few doors in Puerto Rey his red head had not ibeen poked Into. Be saw Pasa one afternoon sitting by the door with an unusually salntfy look upon her face. Dicky rushed off 'to find one of the white duck wall' flowers to present him. Is an incredibly short time he was seated close beside the cane rocking-chair. There •were no back-agamst-thejgajl poses quiet 'vegoclos until quite late. Anally ft* -would let them out the front door ^very carefully, and go upstairs to Ws 'little saint. These visitors were generally conspirator-like men With dark clothes and hats. Of course, these dark doings were noticed after \ a while, and talked about. 'Quite a number of letters arrived,; addressed to "Mr. Dicky Maloney," or \ "Senor Dtckee Maloney," to the con siderable pride of Pasa. That so many ) people should desire to write to him \ only confirmed her own suspicion that the light from his red head shone around the world. As to their contents she never felt curiosity. Th*re was a wife for you! The one mistake Dicky made in Puerto Rey was to run out of money at the wrong time, Where his money came from, was a puzzle, for the sales of his shop were n«xt to nothing, btft that source failed, and at a peculiarly unfortunate time. It was w"hen ]fbe comandante, Don Senor el Ooronel Encarnation Casablanca looked upon the little saint seated rn the shop and Mlt his heart go pitapat. The comandante, who was versed Mn all the Intricate, arts of gallantry, fjrft delicately hinted at his sentiments by donning his dress uniform and strutting up and down fiercely before 'her window. Pasa, glancing demurely with her saintly eyes, instantly perceived his resemblance to her parrot, Chichi, and was diverted t-o the extent of a smile. The comandante saw the Braile. which was not intended for him. Co»- vlnced of an impression made, he entered the shop, confidently, and advanced to open compliment. Paza froze; he pranced; she flamed royally: he was charmed to Injudicious persistence; she commanded him to leave the shoprhe tried to capture her hand and—Dicky entered, broadly smiling. full of white wfne^ and the devil. Five mnrates later he pitched the* comandante out the door upon the intones of the street, senseless. That five minutes Dicky had spent in punlshlng him scientifrcariy and Carefully, so that the pain might be prolonged as far as possible. A barefooted policeman who had been watching the affair from across the street, now blew a whistle and a squad of eight soldiers came running from the cuartel just around the corner. When ttiey saw that Dicky was the ^offender they stopped and blew more whistles, which brought out reenforcements of twelve. , Dicky, being thoroughly imbued with the martial spirit, stooped and drew the comandante's sword which was girded about Mm, and charged his foe. He chased the standing army four squares, playfully prodding Its squealing rear, and hacking Its bare, gingercolored heels. He was not so successful with the civic authorities. Eight muscular, nimble policemen overpowered him, and conveyed him, triumphantly but warily to jail. "El Diablo Colorado.'* they dubbed him, and derided the military for its defeat. Dicky, with the rest of the prisoners, could look out the barred^oor at the grass of a Httle plaza, a row of orange trees, and the red tfie roofs and 'dobe walls of a line of insignificant tlendas. At sunset, along a path across this plaza, came a melancholy, procession of sad-faced women hearing plantains, bread, casaba and fruit— each coming with food to some wretch behind those bars to whom she still clung. Thrice a day,, morning, noon and sunset, they were permitted to come. Water was furnished her guest? by the republic, but no food. For two days succeeding Pass came at each appointed time and brought him food. He eagerly inquired each time If a letter or package had come for him, and she mournfully shook her head. On the morning of the third day she brought only a small loaf of bread. There were dark circles under her eyei. She seemed as calm as ever. "By Jingo," said Dicky, who seemeo to speak in English or Spanish as the whim seised him, "this is dry proven der, muchachlta. Is this the best you .can dig up for a fellow?" Pasa looked at htm as a mother looks at a beloved but capricious It was an bow? befcre the consul came. He was a *ewctacled young man, a greedy botuna^ who was utilizing bis 'Office to study the tropic flora. He held a green umbrella under bis arm, and mopped his forehead Impatiently. ">*oW, see fcere, Maloney," he began, 'captiously, "you tallows seem to thmh you can cut up any kind of row, and expect me to pull you but of It I'm neither the "War Department nor a gold mine.

Anything like tobacco, now, to make you comfortable-^or newspapers-^" 'Son of EfT," interrupted Dicky, gravely, "you haven't changed an iota. That is almost a duplicate of the speech you made when old Keen's donkeys and geese got into the chapel loft, and the culprits wanted to hide in your room." "Oh, heavens'!" pxelaimed the consul, hurriedly adjusting bis spectacles "Are you a a Yale man. too? Were you in that crowd? I don't seem to remember any one with red--any one named Maloney. Such a lot of co^leg** men seem to have misused their advantages. One of the best mathematicians of the class of 'St is selling lot tery tickets in Belize. A Cornell man dropped off here last month. He was second steward on a guano boat. I'll write to the Department if you like. Maloney. Or if there's any tobacco, or newspa " "There's nothing." interrupted Dicky, shortly, "but this. You go tell the captain of the Catarlna that Dicky Maloney wants to see him as soon as be caD conveniently come. Tell him where 1 am. Hurry, That's all." The consul, glad to be let off so easily, hurried away. The captain of the Catarino, a stout man. Sicilian born, soon appeared, shoving, with little ceremony, through the guards to the Jail door. The Vesuvius Fruit Company had a habit of doing things that way In Puerto Rey. "I am exceedingly sorry—exceeding sorry," said the captain, "to see this til that perpendicular line came between his brows that always distressed Pasa. Presently she went and1 brought his hat, and stood with it until he looked up, inquiringly. "It Is sad for you here," she explained. "Go out and drink vino bianco. Come back when you get that smile you used to wear. That Is what I wish to see." Dicky laughed and threw down his papers. T h e vino bianco stage Is past. It has served its turn. Perhaps, after all, there was toss entered my mouth and more my ears than people thought. But, there will be no more maps or frowns tonight. ' 1 promise you that. Come." They sat upon e reed silleta at the window and hatched the quivering gleams fruio the lights of the Catarlna reflected in the harbor. Presently Pasa rippled out one of her infrequent chirrups of audible laughter. "1 was thinking," she began, anticipating Dicky's question, "of the foolish things girls have in their minds. Because I went to school in the states 1 used to have ambitions. Nothing less than to be the president's wife would satisfy me. And, look thou, red picaroon, to what obscure fate hart thou stolen me!" "Don't give up , hope," said Dicky, smiling. "There, was a, dictator of Chili named O'Higgins. Why not a President Maloney of this country? Say the word, and I'll make the race. We'll capture the Irish vote, easy running, by a head." II. The Vesuvius Plays. The banjftna republic of Go&taragua has, practically, two capitals. The one officially recognized is San Mateo, sev enty miles In the Interior. But, daring the hot season, from May to October, the entire administration removes to Puerto Hey, where the sea breeze renders the pursuit of business and pleasure possible. Custom had so established this annual heglra of the executive that a commodious government Did Senor Ortli understand Mr. Franzoni to mean five hundred thousand? By no means. Five hundred pesos. And In silver; not gold. "Your offer insults my government," said Senor Ortiz, rising indignantly. "Then," cried Mr. Franzoni, In a warning voice, "we will change it!" The offer was never changed. Mr. Franzoni must have meant something else. So, when the fifteenth day of May arrived the signs were that the presidential advent would not be celebrated by unlimited rejoicing. President Zarilla was a little, elderly man, grizzly bearded, with a considerable ratio of Indian blood revealed in his cinnamon complexion. As he was assisted into his carriage, his sharp, beady ejtes glanced around for the expected demonstration of welcome, but he faced a stolid, unenthnspd array of curious citizens. Sightseers the Co.staraguans are by birth and habit, and they turned out to the last able-bodied unit to witness the scene, but they maintained an accusive silehep. At'length, after a prodigious galloping and curvetting of red-sashed majors, gold-laced colonels and epauletted generals, the procession formed for its annual formal progress down the principal street—the Caraino Real—to the government building at its end. As the band struck up, and the movement began, like a bird of 111 omen the S. J. Pizzoni, Jr., the swiftest steamship of the Vesuvius line, gilded into the harbor in plain view of the president and his train. By the time the van of the procession had reached the government building, Captain Cronln, of the S. J. Pizzoni, Jr., and Mr. Vlncentl, member of the Vesuvius Company, had landed and were pushing their way, bluff, hearty and nonchalant, through the crowd on the narrow sidewalk. Clad In white linen, big, debonair, with an air of good-humored authority, they made conspicuous figures among the dark mass of unlmposing Costaraguans. They penetrated to within a "Shalt I Deliver Them to Enrico, Ollvarra's Assassin, or to His Son?' •with Dicky. At close range, was htB~-bab*r ^ A «*.. & ' :>i: "Think better of It," she said, in » low voice; "since for the next meal there will be nothing. The last centavo i s spent" She pressed closer agafewt the grating. Pasa lowered, her voice to almost a whisper. "And, listen, heart to my heart,*4 she said, "i have endeavored to be brave, but I cannot live without thee. Three days now " * Dicky caught a faint gleam of steel from the folds «f her mantilla. For once she looked to his face snd saw it without a smfle, sfcam, menacing and purposeful. Then he suddenly raised his hand and his smtte came back like a gleam of sunshine. T t * hearse signal of an incoming steamer's siren sounded ra the harbor. Dicky ca'led to the sentry who was peeing before the doert "What steamer o o m e s f T n e CSatartaa.* "Of the Vesuvius l i n e r "Without deobVef that lima." "Go yon, pioarfUa," said Diear, Josv Sosassisies BysteitoM shjogs ~b*p. 1 ously to P a s * "to the Amerieao eon •theory of subjection.

His red hair could not detract from his attitude of severe dignity as he *tood, tall and calm, with bis now ?rlm mouth forming a horizontal line. "Captain De Lucco, I believe I still have funds in the hands of your company— ample and personal funds. I ordered a remittance last week. The money has not arrived. You know what is needed in this game. Money and money hnd -more money. Why has tt not been sent?" "By the Cristobal/' replied De Lucco, gesticulating, "it was dispatched. Where Is the Cristobal?

"Is •here anything it will not buy, cap* tain?" When the captain had departed Dicky called the sergeant of the jail squad and asked: "Am J preso by the military or by »he civil authority?" "Surely there Is no martial law is effect now, senor." Bueno. Now go or send to the alcaide, the Jues de la Pat and the Jefe de loa Policies. Tell them I am prepared at once to satisfy the demands of justice.*4 A folded hill of the "long green" slid Into the sergeant's hand. So, that night Dicky sat by the window of the room over his shop and hit little saint oat close by, working at something silken, and dainty. DtQk? was thoughtful and grave. His red hair was In an unusual stats of disorder. Pasa'a fingers often ached to aaoatfc mod arrange It, b i t Dicky •MM never allow U. He was poring, topsgbt, over a great Utter of maps and boota and vaeiB^m Ma table a * building had been erected on the1*" 'Jew yards of the steps of the brown beach at Puerto Rey for the use of the stone building Casa -Moreno, the brown White House of Costaragua. Looking easily above the heads of the crowd, they perceived another that towered above the undersized natives. It was the fiery poll of Dicky Maloney against the wall close by the lower step, and his broad, seriuetivn grin showed that he recognize^ fhp^- rrt>eence. ~~ Dicky had attired himself becoming ly for the festive occasion In a wellfitting black Bult. Paaa was close by his side, her head covered with the ubiquitous black mantilla. Mr.-~Vlncent1 looked at her attentively. "Nottlcelli's Madonna," he remarked, gravely. "I wonder when whe got Into the game. I don't like his getting tangled with the women. I hoped he would keep away from them." Captain Cronin's laugh almost drew attention from the parade. "With that head of hair! Kec*p away from the women! And a Maloney! Hasn't he got a license? But, nonsense aside, what do you think of the prospects)? It's a species of filibustering out of my line," Vincent! glanced again at Dicky's head and smiled. "Rouge et noir," he said. "There you have it. Make your play, gentlemen. Our money Is on the red." They ceased talking, for General Pilar had descended from the first carriage and had taken his stand upon the top step of Casa Morena. As the oldest member of the cabinet, custom had decreed that he should make the address of welcome, presenting the keys of the official residence to the president at Its close. Holding in his hand the gilt keys of Casa Morena, he began his address in s historical form, touching upon each administration and the advance of civilization and prosperity from the first dim striving after liberty down to present times, Arriving at the regime of President Zarilla, at which point, according to precedent, he should have delivered a eulogy upon Its wise conduct and the happiness of the people, General Pilar paused. Then he silently held up the bunch of keys high above his head, with his eyes closely regarding it. The ribbon with which they were bound fluttered In the breeze. "It still blows," cried the speaker, exultantly. "Citizens of Costaragua, give thanks to the saints this night that our air Is still free." Thus disposing of Zarilla's administration, he abruptly reverted to that of OHvarra, Costaragua's most popular ruler. OHvarra had been assassinated nine years before while in the prime of life and usefulness. A faction of the Liberal party led by Zarilla himself had been accused of the deed. Whether guilty or not, it was eight years before the ambitious and scheming Zarilla had gained his goal. Upon this theme General Pilar*a eloquence was loosed. He drew the picture of the benefieent OHvarra with a loving hand. He reminded the peaple of the peace, the security and the happiness they had enjoyed during that i period. He recalled in vivid detail and with significant contrast the last summer sojourn of President OHvarra In Puerto Rey, when his appearance at their fiestas was the signal for thundering vivas of love and approbation. | The first public expression of send- I ment from the people that day followed. A low, sustained murmur went president and his official family during their sojourn. But now, this year, though the middle of May was almost come, the heart of the people waa not stirred to the' customary joyous preparation. Throughout the entire republic there seemed to be a spirit of silent, sullen discontent. The, administration of President Zarilla had made him far from a popular idol. Fresh taxes, fresh import duties, and, more than all, his tolerance of the outrageous oppression of the citizens by the military had rendered him the" most obnoxious president since the despised Alforan. But the most impolitic of the administration's moves had been when it antagonized the Vesuvius Fruit Company of New Orleans, an organization plying twelve steamships, and with a cash capital something larger than Costaragua's surplus and debt combined. Naturally, an established concern like the Vesuvius would become irritated at having a small, retail republic with no rating at all attempt V* squeeze it 8o. when the government proxies applied for subsidy they encountered a polite refusal. The president retaliated by clapping an export duty of one real per bunch on bananas— a thing unprecedented In fruit growing countries. An emissary requested an interview with a representative of the company. The Vesuvius sent Mr. Franzoni, a little, stout, cheerful man always whistling Verdi. Senor Ortiz, secretary to the Minister of Finance, attempted the sandbagging In behalf* of Costaragua. 8enor Ortiz opened negotiations by the announcement that the government contemplated the building of a railroad to skirt the alluvial coast lasda. After touching upon the benefits such as improvement would confer upon the. interest* fit the Vesuvius, ha reached the. dissCdts suggestlo » that a contribution to the read's among then like the. surf rolling along expense of one hundred thousand pesos would not be more than an equivalent, to benefits received Mr. Prsnsoni denied amy benefits "that rouge wins." from 4he roasssa>b>Mua of a road He wa»j aothortsooV s*wov et, to offer a frtbdjteo of fie, huadred » - t h e OOBtteemtBlp taiera. the ihm, "Ten dollars to a dinner at the Saint <!ha*lte/* remarked Mr. Vinoentt. "m Spanish," replied VtaeeatiL "runs about ten words to the minute; his is something around two hundred. Whatever he's saying, he's getting them warmed up." "Friends and brothers," Genera) Pilar was saying, "could I reach out my hand this day across the lamentable silence of the grave to OHvarra 'the Good," to the ruler who was one of you, whose tears fell when you sorrowed, and whose smile followed your joy—I would bring him back to you, but—OHvarra is dead—dead at the hands of a craven assassin!" The speaker turned and gated boldly Into the carriage of the president Ills aim remained- extended aloft self to sustain his peroration. T h e president was listening, aghast, at this remarkable address1) of welcome. "Who says thai Olivarra is dead?"' suddenly cried the speaker, his voice, old at? he was, sounding like a battletrumpet. "His body lies in the grave, but, to thp people be loved he has beqututhed his spirit—yes, more-»-hls learning, his courage, his kindness— yes, more-—bin youth, his image—people of Costaragua, have you forgotten* the son of Olivarra?" Cronln and Vincent!, watching closely, saw Dkky Ma!oney suddenly raise his hat, tear off his shock of red hair, leap up the steps and stand at the side of General Pilar. The minister of war laid his arm across the young' man's shoulders. All who had known President Olivarra saw again his same lion-like pose, the same frank, undaunted expression, the same high1 forehead with the peculiar line of the clustering, crisp black hair. Genera] Pilar was an experienced orator. He seized the moment of breathless silence that preceded thestorm. "Citizens of Costaragua," he trunkpeted, holding aloft the keys to Casa Morena, "I am here to deliver these keye—the keys to your homes and liberty— to your chosen president Shan' I deliver them to Enrico, Ollvarra's* assassin, or to bis son?" "Olivarra! OHvarra!" the crowd? shrieked and howled. All vociferated the magic name—men, women/ ohildren and the parrots + And the enthusiasm was not con> fined to the blood of the plebs. Colonel Rocas ascended the steps and laid his sword theatrically at Youttg Ramon Olivarra'b feet, Four members o f the cabinet embraced him. Captain- Cruz gave a command and twenty o r -fll Clento ilullaudo. demounted and^ arranged themselves^in a cordon about the steps ol Casa Morena. Hut Ramon Olivarra seized that moment to prove hirageJULa. horn geniusund politician. He waved those HOI- (iiors- aside, and descended the steps to the Ktmct. There, without losing his dignity or the distinguished elegance that the lotss of his red hair brought him, he took the proletariat to his bosom—the barefootesjr the dirty, Indi'ahR, Caribs, babies, beggars, old, young, saints,, soldiers and sinners— h<- missed none of them. While this act of the drama was being produced the ecene-shlfters had) been busy at the duties assigned them. Two of Cruz's dragoons had seized) , the bridle reins of President Zarilla's horses, others formed a close guard, and they galloped off with the tyrant and hi? two malodorous ministers. N o doubt a place had been prepared for them. There are Quite a number of well-barred stone apartments In Puerto Rey7 "Rouge wins," said Mr. Vincent^ calmly lighting another cigar. Captain Cronln had been intently watching the vicinity of the steps for some time. * "Good boy!" he exclaimed, suddenly, as if relieved. "I was wondering If he was going to forget his Kathleen Ma vourneen." Young Olivarra had reascended the steps and spoken a few words to Gen era! Pilar. That distinguished veterandescended to the walk and approached* Pasa, who still stood, calm and won dereyed, where Dicky had left her With his hat In bis hand, and his medals and decorations shining oa his breast, the general gave her hb arm, and they went up the steps together. And then Ramon Olivarra stepped forward and took both her hands before all the people. And while the cheering was breaking out afresh, everywhere Captain Cronln and Mr. Vincentr turned and walked back toward the landing where the ship's gig was waiting for them. "There'll be another president* prodamada in the morning," said Vlncentl, musingly. "As a rule, they are not as reliable as the elected oaee. But this youngster seems to have good1 stuff In him. He planned and vered the whole campaign. Olrvarra'r widow, you know, was wealthy. Ska? gave the boy eight years of the heat education In the states.

It needs the wealth and Income of the big show to support a .goodly company of riders. Prom one standpoint, the high salaries of the circus riders appears to be justly deserved. Riding Is the most difficult of all circus stunts to master as well as the most dangerous to perform, once the knack of poising on a galloping horse has been mastered. As has been mentioned above, the average new recruit in the ranks of circus riders comes of an equestrian family and consequently he or she has the benefit of capable instruction at home. To attain the greatest proficiency in riding, as in any other acrobatic line, practice should begin* in childhood,—A youngster under instruction under such circumstances is lifted by the father or mother onto the horse upon which the adult rider Is practicing. At first the. beginner must be held In place on the horse's back, but gradually confidence is gained and the new rider can maintain his position with no aid save a steadying hand when there comes a sudden lurch of the plunging mount. Finally he is able to take care of himself unaided and then gradually there are mastered all the tricks of mounting a horse at a gallop and the feature work such as leaping over banners and through paper-covered hoops. Some circus children serve an apprenticeship as bareback riders on Shetland ponies-'-notoriously steady of gait and BO small that a tumble from the back ot UUM IS hot so likely to result in broken bones. A very ingenious contrivance has been perfected for giving confidence to new recruits among women bareback riders. It is, in effect, a swinging pole supported at one end by a pole corresponding to the center pole of a circus ring. This pole swings round and round the ring, keeping pace with the horse galloping around the sawdust arena. At the outer end o f this pole is a contrivance which grasps the timid rider around the waist or under the arms and which wilt enable her to take her entire weight off the horse at a moment's notice. The reader will appreciate that with this support in reserve the rider nee'd not fear overbalancing. If she does lose her balance the pole will hold her up and enable her to regain her proper position on the back of the horse traveling directly underneath. Circus riders exercise great care in the selection of their horses— "rosin-backs," as the circus people call them, because of the powder that is sprinkled on their broad backs to prevent the riders from slipping. The ideal-horse for bareback work must be good tempered; steady and unvarying in gait, and heavy enough to present a broad back as a moving platform for the performer's feats. Circus riders, it may be added, not only ride in the circus ring, but also in the daily parade.

But of the more curious cases of gin and leave off suddenly, but which endured for a number of years, there are w number of instances. One was M'ss'Mary Reynolds, who for 15 or 16 years had two states of existence, in one of which she. was a melancholy, morbid young woman and in the other a tray, hysterical, mischievous child. The alternations, m which the child state lasted from five to six weeks, jiato, criminal frame .of mind ! continued at intervals of varying toBowed on his epileptic sefz- (length for 15 or 16 years, but finally htUed a Woodcutter.

Miss *Beauchamp was a neurasthenic but clever young woman, who overworked at college. She was of a morbidly conscientious and rather reserved disposition. She was hypnotized in order to try the power of suggestion, and out of one of these hypnotic trances emerged a new Miss Beauchamp — a person entirely different from the original Miss Beauchamp' In manners, ideals, education and temperament. This new Miss Beauchamp was called "Sally" Bear champ, and one of the peculiarities'©! her mlchlevous temper was a/profound dialike of the "other Miss Beauchamp." The case is too complex and too curious for complete summary here, but it presents the amazing fact that in one brain may reside the possibility of the existence of two entirely different beings, different in mind, thought, disposition, health andtemper. Quite apart from any attempt to deceive on the part of such "abnormal" cases, one of the symptoms of brain injury or incipient brain affection is the real ability to distinguish between the real and the unreal. One of the authorities in London on brain recently asked a young girl who had been deceiving her parents for some years with fables as to imagined incidents and imagined acquaintances what was the difference to her between these imaginary things nad^the- real existence, for example, of himself and of the roon%where they were standing. "None at all," the replied. Woman Mourned as Dead Returns. Mrs. Belle Drown, whose three children, one of them Ls Cjayton. Brown, of Owodso, petitioned somo time ago to have her declared legally dead, that they might collect her share of the estate of her father, Sanford Burgess, valued at SG.OOU, appeared suddenly, calling on Brown, and disappeared us suddenly without making any explanations. Mrs. Brown left Owosso suddenly teu years ago, leaving her three children and-husband. She has never been heard from since. Saturday night, however, her son, who works at the National hotel, was approached by a well-dressed woman, who threw her arms about his neck, called him her darling boy, and after a few more words, left. Brown does not remember what his mother looked like and is therefore not sure that this woman isn't an impostor. The petition to declare the woman dead comes up on Feb. 20. WHERE IT WAS LACKING Recent News of the Great Famine In China. Word from China locates the widespread distress of flood victims, In the alluvial plains, bisected by the Grand Canal. American relief-shipscan thus reach the area of distress, and prompt response with funds and supplies, check and break up the famine. Wheat, flour, rice, canned meat, dried fish, cotton cloth and cotton wadding should be forwarded without delay to the Seattle Commercial Club, Seattle, Wash* and funds to the American Red Cress., Washington, D. C ; S00^ 000 lives were saved in the same area chiefly through American relief in '06- '08, and more than 4,000,000 other sufferers similarly assisted, winning the gratitude of the Chinese: nation. In this t;me of distress our hand -should be aa prompt lu aid as- al thai" time. • Olivet, Mich. Feb. 10, 1911. THE MARKETS.

There are several species of cattle ticks, but t h e chief one is commonly, called tftc "'cattle" or "Texas fever" tick. I t $s t h e one* most frequently found cm 'cattle and i s much more abundant than" the 6ther species. When the losses occasioned by this parasite -«re <onse thoroughly understood by farmers and stockmen there will be Itttle need for arguments- in favor ot tick eradication. Some of the losses a r e not'directly* noticeable and consequently make Tittle impression, white ether losses properly chargeabl « t o t h e *fick'are frequently attributed tO'uiherncauscs. Various -writers have estimated the ammral loss due t o the tick a t from |*W)0,'OO 'to '$100,000,000. These figvenlent and practical way of treating cattle on the majority of farms. A good style of pail spray pump will be sufticient for treating Bmall herds. About 15 feet of 3-3 inch high-pressure toose is required and a type of nozxle furnishing a cone-shaped spray will be found satisfactory. A nozzle with two small an aperture should not be used. Every portion of the body juould Jpe thoroughly treated, special \ttentibn being given to the headi dewlap, brisket, inside of elbows, thighs and flanks, the tail and the depressions at the base of the tall. Crude oil alone may be used, but In general it 20 to 25 per cent, emulsion will be better. All the cattle should be sprayed every two weeks and the treatment should not be discontinued Sijrnply because the ticks have become scarce or seem to have disappeared. In localities where ticks commonly occur on cattle in considerable numbers during t h e winter time it will be advisable t o continue spraying. In localities where ticks disappear or a r e present ifi -very small numbers during the winter,, the cattle should be inspected carefully each week to remove and destroy any ticks that may be present. When warm weather comes, "it will &e well in all cases in which spraying 'has been discontinued during the winter to begin spraying and continue until it can be determined wifti 'certainty that eradication h a s been*"-trtrccnnplished. The spraying should not be delayed until ticks show again 'in considerable numbers. One tick'destroyed in the early spring will save the trouble of destroying thousands a few months later.

A number of deaths have resulted from this cause the past year. Mr. Neal says, "and many more are likely to occur. People do not seen to understand that kerosene when heated to a temperature of 121 degrees, produces just as deadly and powerful as gasoline. The only difference is that gasoline produces an explosive vapor at about 70 degrees of heat instead of 121. Thrown \in a hot stove whether containing fire or not, kerosene will almost immediately produce the exploehe vapor and when the lighted match comes in contact, the doings commence. Unless death is sought kerosene should under no circumstances be po a red into a stove from a can. The taking of strychnine or looking down the barrel of a gun is much safer." "If people must use kerosene for kindling or -hurrying up of fires a small quantity should be poured into a cup and tnrown from that into the stove. If a blaze is then needed to ignite it, use a long paper taper and keep at a safe distance when touching it oft The process will produce the desired results and even \tben there is apt to be enough excitement for the average individual." Killed I n s t a n t l y In attempting to drive across the P.

In all Europe the loss was but one-sixth as large. ThiB leak is a powerful indictment of American waste. ~ Deciding the most important case ever brought before it, the interstate commerce commission pronoun'ced against the railroads, eastern and western, in their attempt to boost freight rates. Here is the decision in a nutshell: There is no evidence before us which establishes the necessity for higher rates. Before any general advance can be permitted it must appear with reasonable certainty that carriers have exercised proper economy in the purchase of their supplies, in the payment of their wages and in the general conduct of their business. There is no testimony tending to show the cost of reproducing these properties. It is plain that a physical valuation would introduce in the calculation a new element which might lead to a different conclusion. The conclusion reached hejre extends, therefore, - no further than the facts u^Km which it is based. Proposed advances in class freight rates in official classification territory, aggregating among all the railroads in the territory approximately $2.7,- 000,000 a year, were disapproved \y the commission. In the case involving the increases by the railroads in western trunk line territory the commission al^o declined to approve the proposed advances in commodity rates. The carriers in both cases are required to cancel on or before March 10 their advanced tariffs, and restore their former rates, which are the rates now in effect. II this requirement is not complied with, the commission will issue a formal order suspending the proposed advances and putting into effect the existing rates for at least two years v The decisions weje in the nature of a surprise to railroad officials and other experts who had followed closely the proceedings, a majority of whom believed the commission would grant some iiiCrease to the western lines if not to the eastern. The commission concedes- that in the case of some of the roads an increased revenue is needed. In the eastern case the commission was embarrassed by the fact that several of the lines in tho territory were paying good dividends upon existing rates, while other carriers in the same territory were -barely able to make both ends meet—a few of them scarcely that. It does not matter BO much whether they are Bending us pure champagne or imitations from France, as most pt?sons in this country who buy the fh*y stuff judge it solely by the price ai.yway.

The issue is whether the help around the legislature whose pay is on a per diem basis can receive pay for seven days In the week. Attorney General Kuhn has held that they can't. An examination of the record.reveals the fact that for years previous to 1909 the court crier of the supreme court, who was entitled to receive "$2 per diem," was paid for 365 days in the year, one chief Justice after another certifying to the correctness of the voucher. In 1909 the law was changed eo that the crier was put on a yearly salary, but the fact remains that for years an employe of the court was paid for seven days In the week. Hillsdale Asks Bonds.

Replying to a request whether members of the organized malitia are exempt from U. S. Jury duty, the war department has ruled that the selection of federal Jurors Is governed by the laws of the state in which the particular federal court sits and it is within the discretion of the federal courts to excuse jurors for the same reasons that would result in their excuse from serving in a state court. Congressional legislation would be necessary to secure a Droader exemption from jury service of members of the militia. The disappearance of the large copper cent and the nickel cent from circulation has brought about a curi. ous condition In the U. S. treasury None of these pieces had been coined for years, but enough of them wc»*e returned to the treasury each year to give the government a good profit in recoining them into smaller copper cents and into nickel five-cent pieces. Officials of,the treasury department have informed congress that these pieces practically have gone out of existence. In order to keep up the supply of new cents and nickels, congress will have to appropriate money to pay the expense of coinage.

RECIPROCITY MATTERSmiLm RUMOA T H A T ACDftlCH WILL PERSONALLY APPEAR TO CHAMPION AGREEMENT IS DOUBTED. Leaders 8ee No Hope of Bringing the McCall Bill to a Vote a t This Session. So probable is it that an extra session of congress will be necessary to get action on the Canadian reciprocity argument that President Tart has fixed April 4 as the date on which such a session may be called. The April date was selected after consultation with Champ Clark and Representative Underwood, whose committee will have charge of and report me reciprocity bill In the next bouse. The leaders see no hope of bringing to a vote at this session the Mc- Call bill to carry the Canadian agreement Into effect. Many rumors were circulated of moves to remedy the situation, but apparently they were all without foundation. The most persistent of all was one that Senar tor Aidrich was speeding to Washington/^ at the urgent solicitation of President Taft to take charge of the situation in the Senate. The rumor, apparently, was a distortion of a telegram which the senator sent from Jekyl island. Georgia, where he has been for several weeks in search of hralth, saying that if he were- in Washington he would vote for the Canadian agreement. The telegram was to one of the Senate leaders asking that a pair be arranged for him infavof of the McCall bill if it comes tn a vote this session. The fact that s'tch a telegram was received was whispered about, the Senate and created some surprise, as manv st:tnd pjU_senators had believed that Mr. Aidrich. like Senator Hale of Maine would oppose the reciprocity arrangement. .

The arrival of Mr. Aidrich and_any attempt b:T him to force the consideration of the bill upon the Senate would bev like shaking a red rag in the face of a bull. It would serve, according to the consensus of opinion in the Senate, only to intensify the insurgents' fight against the measure. Not only that, but-lils friendship for the bill unquestionably would alienate some of his best friends, HUe Senator McCumber.- Hale, Smoot. and others who aided him in framing the Payne-Aid richtariff law, but who are opposed to the Canadian agreement.

After nearly five hourB of debate th« house of representatives voted overwhelmingly in favor of the policy of fortifying 'trre Panama canal and appropriated .$3,000,000 to beclhr-Uhe work, the total cost of which has been estimated at $12,000,000. The action oi the house practically settles the question of fortification for the sentiment in the Senate is said to be more than two to one in favor of protecting the isthmian Waterway by seacoast batteries. The real test in the House came on an amendment proposed j>y Representative Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the committee ~cnr appropriations. Mr. Tawney has been opposed to fortifying the canal from the first and made a speech against that policy near the close of debate. H« then offered an amendment which provided that no part of the money set aside for fortification should be used until the president of the United States had attempted to negotiate treaties with all of the leading maritime nations guaranteeing the neutrality and international protection of the canal. Representative Sherley of Kentucky bitterly attacked this amendment and warned members that it had been introduced for CTe sole purpose pf defeating the appropriation. The Tawney amendment then was voted down^bv 130 to G3. A motion, by Representative' Keifer of Ohio to strike out aM provision for the fortification of the canal was lost by a vote of 135 to 51. When it came to. voting,, the. Republicans generally supported the fortification of the canal and the Democrats opposed it. The defection of about 20 Republicans irom the vomeral policy of fortification was offset by a similar defection on the Democratic side in favor of fortification. OWOBSO.—J. J.

CHAPTER Ml. The handsome townhouse of Howard Jeffries, the well-known banker, pn Itiverside drive, was one of the most striking among the many imposing nMUionaire homes that line the city's splendid water front. Houses there were in the immediate proximity •which were more showy and had cost more money, but none as completely satisfying from the art lover's standpoint. It was the home of a man who studied and loved the beautiful for its own sake and not because he wanted t e astonish people with what miracres Ttfs money could work. Occupying a large plot on slightly elevated ground, the house commanded a fine view of lite broad Hudson. Directly opposite, Across the river, busy with steam and smiling craft, smiled the green slopes of New Jersey; in the purplish north frowned the jagged clirte of the precipitous Palisades. The elder Jeffries, aristocratic descendant of an old Knickerbocker family, was proud of his home and had spent large sums of money in beautifying it. Built in colonial style of pure white marble with long French windows and lofty columns supporting a flat, rounded roof, surrounded by broad lawns, wide-spread' Ing shade .trees and -splashing foun-i tains, it \va§ a conspicuous landmark for mflcg.—The lulmlur guessed how unhappy she was. She knew that by her own indiscretion, she was in danger of losing all she had won, her position in society, her place in the affections of her husband, everything. When she married Mr. Jeffries it was with deliberate calculation. She did not love him, but, being ambitious, she did not hesitate to deceive him. J He was rich, he could give her that prominent position in society for which she yearned. The fact that she was already engaged to a man for whom she did care did not deter her for a moment from her set purpose. She had met Robert Underwood years before. He was then a college boy, tall, handsome, clever. She fell in love with him and they became engaged. As she grew more sophisticated she saw the folly of their youthful infatuation. Underwood was without fortune, his future uncertain. While in this uncertain state of mind she met -Mr. Jeffries, then a widower, at a reception. The banker was attracted to her and being a business man he did things quickly. He proposed and was accepted, all in the brief time of—five minutes. Robert Underwood and the romance of her girlhood were sacrificed without question when it came to reaching a prompt decision. She wrote Underwood a brief letter olfarewell, telling him that the action sne had taken was really for the best Interests of them both. Underwood made no reply and for months did not attempt; to go near her. Then he met her in public. There was a reconciliation. He exerted the old spell—on the married woman. Cold and indifferent to her husband, Alicia found it abusing to have her old lover paying her court and the danger of discovery &nly pocketed the money, forgetting to account to the owners for the au'mB they brought. The dealers demanded restitution or a: settlement andtTtrterwood, jdreadjng "fcipostfre, 'fthdrjia :>*u>tl«r .around^-to] raise enough • mene^ j. ttf jmake up the deficiency ^jord^jn tp j avoid prosecution. In this way he jllvetfttrb0'day"tfD.:ALy borrOViig from ' Peter tQ settle :wltg Paulj a i d °" o n e or two occasions he 'had .net been ashamed to borrow from Mrs. Jeffries herself. Altera- lent the money more because she feared ridicule than from any real desire to oblige Underwood. She had long since become disgusted with him. The man's real character was now plainly revealed to her. He was an adventurer, little better than a com-, mon crook. She . congratulated herself on her narrpw escape-,. Suppose she had married him—the horror of it! Yet the next inBtant she was filled with consternation. She had allowed him to become so intimate that it was difficult to break off with him all at once. She realized that with a man of that character the inevitable must come. There would be a disgraceful scandal. She would be mixed up in it, her husband's eyes would be opened to her folly, it might ruin her entire life. She must end it now—oncq for all. She had already given him to understand that their intimacy must cease. Now ho must stop his vjatop to her house and desist from trapping her^ friends into his many schemes. She Had written him that morning forbiddlrg hint to come to the houa« cms evening. She was done with him forever. These thoughts were responsible* for the frown on the beautiful Mrs. Jeffries' bejeweled brow that particular Saturday evening. Alicia gave a sigh and was drawing on her long kid gloves before the glass, when suddenly a maid entered -and tendered her mistress a note. Alicia knew tb* handwriting only too well. She tore the letter open and read: ••A Dear Mrs. Jeffries: I received your letter telling me that my presence at your house to-night would be distasteful to you. As you can imagine, it was a great shock. Don't you understand tho liann this will do me? Everybody will notice my absence. They will jump to the conclusion that there has been a rupture, and my credit will suffer immediately with your friends. I cannot afford to let this happen now. My affairs are in such condition that it wUl be fatal to me. I need your support and friendship more than ever. I hav,e,noticed for some time Was lull ot architectural beauty. The stately entrance hall, hung with ancestral portraits, was of noble proportions, and a superb staircase, decorated with statuary, led off to tastefully decorated reception rooms above. To-night the house was brilliantly illumina-tod and there was considerable activity at the front entrance, where—a-footman in Bmart livery stood opening the doors of the carriages as they drove up in quick succession. Mrs. Jeffries' muslcates were always largely attended because she knew the secret of making them interesting. Her husband's wealth and her fine house enabled her to entertain on a liberal scale, and she was a tactful sjjpd diplomatic hostess as we£. She J*t~t oniy;iultiv*t«d'rhe right kind o j t - - ^ ople who were congenial to each her, but she always managed to a-^v .Jave some-guest of special distinction §&Mjyrhom every one was eager to meet. P o l l e r own wide.—acquaintance among fhe prominent operatic artists and her husband'* influential position in the world of finance made this policy an easy way of furthering her social ami bitions. She would always invite some one whom she could present as tb« Hon of the evening. One week it would * e a tenor from the opera house, another time a famous violinist. In this way she managed to create a little artistic salon on the lines of the famous political salons in which the t brilliant women of the eighteenth cen« ' ttiry molded public opinion In France. Alicia knew she was clever and as She stood admiring herself in front of a full length mirror while awaiting * the arrival of her guests «he congratulated herself that she had made as success of her life. She had won those things which most women hold dear —wealth and social position. She had married a man she did not love, it was true, but other women had done tthat before her. If she had not ought her husband love she at least not a wife he need be ashamed In her Paquin gown of gold cloth, sweeping train and a jeweled fa In her hair, she considered her* handsome enough to grace" any 's home. It was indeed a beaut? IrTflclTshe-ssrfMn the mirror—the face it.: Under her patronage he was in of a woman not yet 30, with the features regular and refined. The eyes were large and dark and the mouth atfd hose delicately molded. The face e expression, She had a cold, collating look, "and a cynic might have arged her with being heartless, of pping at nothing to gain her own 148. To-night Alicia had every reason to I Jubilant She had secured a so* lion that all New York would talk afco»jt—no less" -a person than Dr. Ifernstein, the celebrated psycholofWt, the originate* of the theory of •otentMc '"" • psychology.

She did not lead Underwood to believe that he could induce her to forget her duty to Mr. Jeffries, but she was foolish enough to encourage a dangerous intimacy. , She thought she was strong enough to be able to call a halt whenever she would be so disposed, but as is often the caae she overestimated her powers. The! intimacy grew. Underwood became bolder, claiming and obtaining special privilege* He soon realized that he had the upper hand and he traded on vited everywhere. He practically lived on her friends. He borrowed their money and cheated them at cards. His real character was soon known to seemed academically perfect, all but_ all, but no one dared expose him for cence of their furnishings and the art treasures they contained. Art dealera all over the country offered hi A liberal commissions if he would dispose of expensivo-objets d'axt to his trtonda.

Jeffries' friends, paid exosntta&i price* for Uadenrood fear of offending the influential Mrs Jeffries. Realizing this, Underwood continued his" depredations until he became a sort of social highwayman. He had no legitimate source of income, but he took a suite of apartments at'the expensive Astruria and on eredit furnished them so gorgeously that they became the talk of the town. The magazines' and newspapers devoted columns/to the magnifl-lher house to be made the headquarthat your manner to me has changed. Perhaps you have believed aome of the utories my enemies have circulated about me. For the eako of our old friendship, Alicia, don't desert me now. Remember what I once was to you and let me come to your reception to-night. There's a reason why I must be seen»ln your'house. Yours devotedly, ROBERT UNDERWOOD. Alicia's face flushed with anger. Turning to the maid, she said: "There's no answer." The girt was about to close the door when her mistress suddenly recalled her. •-'Wait a minute," she said- "I'll write a line." Taking from her dainty escritoire a sheet of perfumed notepaper, she wrote hurriedly as follows: "If you dare to corpe near my house to-night T will have you Sut out by the servants." Quickly, folding the note, she crushed it into an envelope, scaled it, handed It to the girl, and said: "Give that to the messenger." The Bervaht disappeared and Alicia resumed her work of drawing on her gloves in front of her mirror. How dare he write her such a letter? Was terfl for bis swindling schemes? Did he want to chest more of her friends? The more she thought of all be had done, the angrier she became. Her eyes flashed and her bosom heaved with indignation. She wondered would any if be suspected that she bad permitted a ^san of Underwood's character to use bis home for bis diehonset ntyttooov Bbe *ae glad isfe* . ' • ' - • • • • • • ; — ^ N»: had endefl it now, before It was too late. There might have been a scandal* and .that, she. must avoid at any cost. Mr. Jeffries, she felt certain, would not. tojerate a- scandal of any kind. All at once she felt something brush her cheek. She turned quickly. It was her husband who hud entered the room quietly. "Oh, Howard," she exclaimed, peevishly; "how you frightened me! You shouldn't startle me. like that." A tafl, distinguished-looking man with white mustache and pointed beard stood admiring her in silence. His erect figure, admirably set off in a welt-cut dreBS coat suggested the soldier. "What are you doing alone here, dear?"* he said. "I hear Mrriagea outside. Our guests are arriving." "Just thinking, that's all," she replied, evasively. He noticed her preoccupied look and. with some concern, he demanded: "There's nothing to worry you, is there?" "Oh, no—nothing like that," she said, hastily. H<? looked at her closely and she averted her eyes. Mr. Jeffries often wondered If V had made a mistake He felt that this woman to whom he had given his name did not love him, but his vanity ad much as ki.s pride prevented him lrop: acknowledging it, oven to himseit. After all, what did he care? She was a companion, she graced his home and looked after his creature comforts. Perhaps no reasonable man should expect anything more. Carelessly, he aslted: "Whom do you expect to-night?" "Oh, the usual crowd,'.' - replied Alicia, languidly. "Dr. Bernsteio is coming—you know he's quite the rage just now. He has to do with psychology and all that sort of thing." "So, he's your lion to-night, is he?" smiled the banker. Then he went on: "By the by, I met Brewster at the club to-night. He promised to drop in." Now it was Alicia's turn to Bmlle. It was not everybody who could boast of having such a distinguished lawyer as Judge Brewster on their calling lists. To-night would certainly be a success—two lions instead of one. For the moment she forgot her worry. "I am delighted that the judge is' coming," she exclaimed, her, face / beaming. "Every one is talking abotftf o f Fleming has him since his brilliant speech for-the defense in that murder case." The banker noted his wife's beautiful hair and the white transparency of her skin. His gaze lingered on the graceful lines of her neck and bosom, glittering with r»rPMr,11B p~y^nQfi exquisite-JTrgmia exuding from her person reached where^be stood. His eyes grew more ardent and, passing his arm affectionately around her slender waist, he asked: ^ "Mow does my little girl like her tiara?" "It's very nice. Don't you see I'm wearing it to-night?"-' she replied almost impatiently and drawing herself away. Before Mr. Jeffries had time to re~ ply there was a commotion at the other end- of the reception room, where rie'h tapestries,screened off the main entrance hall. ' Tho butler drew the curtains aside. "Mr. and Mrs. Cortwright," he announced loudly. Alicia went forward, followed by her husband, to greet her guests.

Epp of DANGER IN LICrUNtJ STAMPS Practice Has Been Known,,to Cau»a Acute Inflammation of the Tongue. Do the people who Jeer at the cautious ones who refuse to lick a postage stamp as "cranks" know that there is a defined disease known as "the postage stamp tongue?" This is an acute inflammation of the tongue, directly traced to the germs to be found on the gummed side of stamp or envelope. Other and more serious diseases have been caused by this habit that is so universal and seems so harmless. Ope throat specialist In a hospital declares that many chronic affections of the throat are found among persons who have as their livelihood the ad* dressing and stamping of envelopes. Bad skin idiseases have ben known to follow this habit, and it has even caused'pulmonary troubles. It is after all but a habit, and a bad one. It takes no more time and Is quite as easy to moisten the stamp with a damp sponge or rag. Where many letters must be stamped and. sealed there are good patent inventions by which the sponge is kept moist.

"Pretty steep land for planting, isn't it?" a visitor asked the tiller of the soil. "Pretty ateep," the farmer assented-.* "I suppose it's quite difficult to plant your corn?" "Quite difficult," came the echo. The visitor was Interested, and would not be put off with short replies. "Eh—how do you manage to plant on this hill?" he persisted. The farmer gazed at him pityin^y. "We have to shoot it all into the earth with shotguns, stranger," he assured his guest. ^*fhe -visitor gasped. "Rea)l£?",*e ejaculated. "Really now? Is that actually true?" The farmer sighed and turned upon his guest a look of withering acorn. "No, that isn't true," he answered. "I'm trying to.make conversation."

"9o for a few days I lay low an<i shadowed Mr. Oliv-jr Hasaard. As is New York he was a pattern of method and regularity—never left his lodgings at night, was always on time to the tick In the morning, and apparently enjoyed the trust and esteem of his new employers. "1 found he had been in Kingston for over a year; (hat he bad applied for his present job without credentials, and had been taken on sufferance and with some slight suspicion. But apparently all this bad vanished, and Bullock & Bullock now trusted him implicitly. The more I learned about 'Haszard' and the more 1 studied him, now near at hand, then from a safer distance, the mote my pet private theory, was strengthened. For some days I debated how I should nut It to the test, finally deciding upon a sudden surprise.

I nodded my comprehension at this Introduction, but forehore to, disturb Mauley's current of reminscent talk, for this was one of those occasions Whejn silence was golden. So he went .en: "The Borough National was one of oar smaller banks, but possessing very strong connections; there was a surplus of something like twelve million ^ollfirs", and a board of directors emtracing half the solid names on the street. The paying teller was named John Rlsdale, whom I'd known for years, one of the whitest men that >God ever made. « "Well, suh, 'twas just ten years ago this fall, there'd been nasty panicky times alt summer; no real trouble, a s you'll remember, but a good deal of tuneastness.

The '-j-ordin ary th reads that -go-to make tip the criminal skein were not to be picked up in this particular instance, and I must confess that for the time being I had to acknowledge myself at fault. There remained the possibility that Risdale had become a frequenter "Sf^broker's offices er bucket shops, buf this theory proved to be as useless as the rest. And yet the man had vanished and a hundred thousand^ dollars besides! As usual, the agency said "take your time and Bpare no expense," so I went at the thing quietly and deliberately. Mrs. Risdale gave me all the help she could—which was mighty little, for the poor woman was mighty near distracted. Luckily they had a few hundreds in the savings bank, so there was no danger" of she she and little Ix>ls coming to immediate want. Of course, you couldn't get Mrs. Risdale to admit for an instant that there was anything crooked about her John. I didn't blame her either, for I felt that way myself, knowing the man as 1 did. But you see the best of men do go wrong occasionally— and then there was that hundred thousand dollars! "Well, suh, I settled down to a long still hunt. For six months I was on the road running false clues to earth, for the absconder—or some one resembling him—was reported by my correspondents all over the states. Naturally I'd sent his photograph broadcast, yet strictly on the q, t., you understand/ I'd also had the European steamships watched on the other side, but nothing came of it. Mrs. Risdale put on black and mourned . her husband as dead, but that, somehow, I didn't believe. Naturally I'd formed a theory of my own, which wasn't so far wrong as the sequel proved; the only trouble was I couldn't account for that hundred thousand. And I guess I wouldn't yet If I hadn't found John Risdale. "One day I got a wire from our correspondent in Kingston, Jamaica, saytog: " Tour man here working for whole* tale fruit company, assumed name bring necessary v papers.' "Yoall reckon I took the next boat and landed In Kingston within a week. Saw my correspondent, who posted me- up.

"Not yet, old man/' I assured him soothingly with my hand on his ana. "Sit down here and take a sup of this," pouring him out a stiff drink #f brandy from my pocket-flask. He gulped it down half chokingly, wiping his eyes. Then, more quietly and sanely than I had expected he says: - "Will you kindly tell me where I am and who I am?" '-- "Sure thing," 1 answered half laughing and handing him a cigar. "You're Joan Rlsdale, my old friend, and this is Kingston, Jamaica. How or why* you chose to come here—well, we'll talk that over." "The sooner the better." says he. "Why—wby—whera's ray wife and poor HJtle Lois?" "All well, and waiting for daddy to come home," 1 assured him. "We'll have you out of this in a jiffy. There's a Tuesday boat, you know, and you're going back to New York with me." "New York!" he exclaimed, again pressing his fingers on his eyeballs. 'Yes,—I remember now*-it was that damned bank, and—and—" "Yes. yes, that's all rlgbt, John." I soothed him. "You've—er—been ill. you know." "111!" he flashed on me. "Say, Murk, what day is this?" I gave him the date and the year. "My God!" he groaned under hl« breath. "Why " I saw what was coming and was about to temporize when RiBdale broke In: "Look here, Mark Manley: You used to pose as a friend of mine, if you're that now, in heaven's name tell ine what all this means. You say I've been ill—perhaps. But there's more sekmsly knew no more than V did where that hundred thousand dollars bad vanished to. The kindest thing, I felt, would be to get him home to his wife and little Lois; indeed, wild horses wouldn't have kept him sway once we landed. So I saw bim safely In their arms, enjoining bim not to stir out until he saw me again, and then came.down here to think, and piece things out is some sort of logical order. "My ail-along theory was coming true; John Risdale bad simply gone out ot his head with business worry and fretting over little IM\K. Want of money no doubt entered into his troubles, auid in this frame he bad absent- mindedly picked up the package of money sud walked out of tbe bank, dropping his real identity the instant he got outside "This was all pure theory, you understand, yet it waN afterward borne out by actual happenings. But that didn't bring me any nearer that bun dred thousand dollars; Risdale's mind was a complete blank and no faking. So after spending half the night In the quiet of this very office 1 evolved a plan and a test which I believed would at once prove tbe paying-teller of the Borough National to be un honest man and lead to the recovery, of the missing, money. But first I had to Interview the bank officers and gain their consent to try my scheme. My idea, you Bee, was to reproduce for Risdale tbe actual conditions and surroundings of tbe day when be disappeared with tbe money and then see whether his subconscious mental processes would lead him along the same lines. "Well, suh, next morning 1 saw President IlHzzard, told him the facts, and outlined my plan. He gave his conone knew that he'd ever had a deposit box, but in a flash I cseased what wdus coming, and saw I'd probably make, good. My badge took me tb rough the great steel gates, and I was almost peeking over bis shoulder when he drew out box. He was about to slide In the new envelope when something within drew his attention. H e - p u t in bis hand, drawing but an envelope tbe exact duplicate of the other. <*<croae i t wss written in red ink; 'Per tola in esse of the worst,'" r r "He atood thete iookdng daaedly at both envelopes, then with 'a « ^ « n groan spun on his feet and lett to the floor like a log. 1 picked up both envelopes and glanced hastily at tfieir contents. Each- Ute old and the'new —contained a hundred thousand dollars—- a hundred < rlsp new thouaanddollar bills! My theory bad eante true, and John Risdale was proved aw honest map. In his former lit of aberration his sub-conscious mind dwelling^ pn little Lois and bis inability to afford her the treatment she needed, he bod simply sequestered the money in complete Ignorance of what be was doing, then placed It in tbe safety-deposit box. My part consisted simply hi restoring as far as possible tbe original mental and physical conditions, trust. log that he would repeat himself and lead us to the original place of hiding —which he did. Afterward 1 made out that he had wandered down to a North River pier, where he mast have crawled aboard a liner. The purser of tbe Mohawk remembered assigning a stateroom to . a passenger who came aboard a few ssinutes before sailing time. "And what did the hank do?" I could not forbear asking.. "Well, suh," was the answer, "of course there could be no prosecution under the circumstances. John Rfsdale was Innocent as the babe unborn and the bank hadn't lost a dollar. S o they gave him a bonus for his twenty years of service and retired him on a pension. That bonus, by the way, made Lois Bfsdale a well woman, and now she's married with a little son of her own." • _ _ . i About the Wedding Ring. t The wedding ring, which was tolerated by the Methodists, was anathema to the early Puritans, who regarded personal adornment as one ot the many snares of Satan. Wesley, who was a high churchman, probably ^ni^<?d Its symbolical—value.—fir- Ihe_ oid_ English matTluge «ervi<«e- tt was the custom for the bridegroom to put the ilnfi on the thumb of his bride, saying: "In tht) name of tho Father," then on thr first finger, saying, "and the Hon," then on the second finKer,-saying, -"and of the Holy CI host," finally on the third finger, with the word "Allien."

Stepping quickly to the open front which looted out on Kingsion harbor, J found him upright to the doorway, looking moodily our over the water.

So I told bim everything, even Including tbe foul suspicion that clouded his name. "A defaulter—me!" he exclaimed with a shudder. "Why, as" Qoo"s~my witness, Mark, and by I he sacred names of my wife and child, I'm innocent— innocent as you yourself! I never touched a rod rent of the bank's money!" "1 know you didn't," I replied, for In that moment 1 fett that John Rlsdale was an honest man, "but there was a hundred thousand dollars missing from your own cash drawer the very day you disappeared, and you're the only man who can clear away the mystery. So keep your head and think." "Think!" be shouted. "How can aa honest man think with such a suspicion as that smirching bis /air fame? 1 tail ye% Mark — " • " "No need tp tell me, John," I answered quietly, "I knew all along there was some mistake, and that's partly why I traced you here.

This Is what happened after 1 had carefully coached Rlsdale as to the part he was to play: Precisely at a quarter of ten he presented himself at the bank as usual, went to his old csge and began to arrange the pile of currency. At the stroke of ten he oponed the brass grill and began to pay out funds as checks were presented.

The fiftieth anniversary of tbe birth of Dr. Ludwlg Kainsnbof was the (•cession of uiuny ineetlugs at which :tbe progress of Esperanto was the chief topic.

Many improvements have been K:ingested, but they have not impressed tbe Esperanto students favorably, and, according to Dr. Foerster, tended* simply to confuse people and "to injura the-foundation which has, been firmly laid."

Time was, and not so atony years ago, either, When t here were comparatively f e w •children fef an age that entitled them , t o be classed as young people in the ^households of Uncle Sam's best-paid cervants. If there were junior members, of such households, they were for the most part grandchildren or ^cousins or nephews and nieces. The result' of this state of affairs was that •tie juveniles, neither collectively nor individually, were much of a factor In' the social activities of officialdom, » n d very few of the entertainments ifn tSfs sphere were planned especially for the benefit of the younger (contingent of the community. «, But, as has been said, the past half bcore of years has seen gradual change of conditions that has made {the Juveniles and the unmarried !^oucg men and young women an element to be reckoned with. The explanation of the new state of affairs as to be found, of course, in the capture by younger men of a large proportion of the most exalted positions in the executive, legislative and Judicial branches of the government. JNo longer need a public man be a ^grandfather ere he is deemed to have arrived at the years of discretion neciessary to warrant the nation in entrusting its most momentous affairs t o him. Something of this same leaning in favor of younger men hag •even been manifested on the part of many of the leading foreign governments that send envoys to act as accredited resident representatives at -Washing unr The natural sequel of this Invasion of young blood in our governing^e+rcles is that the elders have been indulging in forms of entertainment less staid and solorun than those of some years back—why, President Taft himself delights to trip the light fantastic toe—and the juniors of offlno youtfg children of his own, but he has had with him in his Washington home much of the time the two sweet-mannered daughters of a married daughter, and slnjce the veteran legislator makes his home in summer with this daughter at Dan* ville, 111., he has enjoyed the companionship of these girls as continuously as he cquld expect to enjoy the society of young children of his own. Gen Leonard Wood, the new head of the United States army, furaiaff-. cs another example of a man attain! n g^n_ex^Ite^LEasL.aLJllL_ujiusu: cialdom have had all sorts of parties planned with especial reference to their well-known propensities. The White House furnishes an apt criterion as to the revolution in sentiment that has taken place. Prior to the Roosevelt administration there had been in many years only a few periods when there were present in the executive mansion children of age to influence the* social program. Indeed the children of the Grant and Hayes families were about the only youngsterB to liven up the old mansion since the days, of the CJhrU war. With the arrival, of Theodore Roosevelt, accompanied by his half a dozen strenuous children, however, tine-honored traditions had a shakeup !p favor of the fads of young hearts and young heads, and this policy has been pursued during the Taft regime, although the present chief magistrate has a breod only half as numerous as that of his predecessor. A noticeable exemplification of the revision that has taken place in tBe^soeial calendar is found in the prominent placw that young people's dances have occupied of l i t e years on the winter entertainment prograss at the. White House. And in summer the toariat may see Juvenile baseball games in. progffessfla the president's back yard, to say nothing •of the comings and goings of youthful riders on bonis or bicycle; roller skating on the asphalt abort the mansion; and mild "joy riding" in a jDAtfr electric phaeton. WJhst has been true of the White House has t>eenT truo la an equal degree of the cabinet nomas. It is safe to say that the homes of the members of the_president's official family have during the sast ten years s&eltered more young people ha their teens (or Just out of them) than in sifty other similar interval In the entire history of t i e country. And, today there is a liberal representation of this junior element in the cabinet fiommnnity. Secretary of State Knox may be said to have but .'recently graduated from the class of "dependant fathers" when his youngest soft etofaJd with a pretty Rhode Island girl, alyouthful- looking premier has jbeen • •» tor ftjWifal years past. Secretary departsjsnt of commerce' and tabor ihUttrtttflincKrting a* very attractive *Jk«prti*rrt>f the'Kavy Meyer has always dress exactly alike, ^ i w N ^ T h e r s are also young households of the members of the- "little cabinet," as the assistant secretaries of the departments, the assistant postmaster general, etc., are dubbed, there are a number of young folks. Secretary to the President, Norton, who might be placed in this category, if, indeed, he is not, entitled to ally early age. He and Mrs. Wood have three children. The sons, Iveonard, Jr„ and Osborn, are of about the age to enter college-, but the dainty daughter of the family, named for her mother, Louise Con- <lit-Sniith Wood, ia but ten years of Some of the children of public men in whom the people -of--the nation take the greatest interest are the little sons of daughters of former national officials now deceased. Prominent In this category is Miss Klizahftlh Harrison, only child of the late ex-Prfisident by his second marriage and the youngest living daughter of an American president. Other fatherless young folks for whom, the people at large fuel a strong regard are the children of the late Grovor Cleveland and the children of the late United States Senator Dolliver of Iowa, perhaps the ablest of all the leaders of the "Progressives" \\\ congress. In our "official foreign colony," made Tip of the families of the men of different nationalities who aro sent by their respective governments to act as diplomatic representatives in the United States, there are many children. Moreover, inasmuch as the foreign envoys have in many instances married American wives, it naturally follows that tljp children of such unions are half American. This is true of the children of the minister of Belgium and Countess de Buisseret and Countess Luise-Alexandra von Bernstorff, only daughter of the German ambassador and his Yankee consort. And, by the way, it is of interest in this connection that the young countess is to be marrietTthls coming spring to one of her fatherls-^iecretarles, the Count Pourtales, who a l s c l i a s an American mother.

Stewajft-^resign ere this-reaches the eyes of our readers), and other of the proxies of the cabinet members! has a very pretty little daughter in her early teens Children have even invaded the conservative supreme court circles in formidable numbers. Time was when the thought of young people in the homes of the aged and dignified members of the nation's highest tribunal seemed almost incongruous, but as in other spheres of governmental activity this is an age of younger men on the supreme court bench, and this has created a supreme court community .with a number of junior members. Mr. Justice Hughes, who came so near to winning the coveted appointment of chief justice, has perhaps the most interesting family, consisting of three daughters and one son,' but Mr. Justice Day has several sons who yet rank as young men* though they have left the paternal roof, and there are grandchildren in several of the supreme court households who have all the privileges claimed by closer kin.- Probably the most interesting family in that section of officialdom made up of the households of the members of the United States Benate is that of Senator La Follette, the insurgent leader. Thero are two manly sons and two very beautiful daughters, the eldest of whom has already demonstrated her inheritance of her father's marked histrionic ability. Senator La-Follette it the chunfYand companion of his children to a degree that is almost ideal. Senators Smoot, Dick and Tillman are other vearers of the toga whose children have become fairly well known to newspaper readers through the publication of characteristic anecdotes, and there are a number of other members of the upper house of congress who are kept youthful By their energetic offspring. Among the families of the members of the house of representatives children are so numerous as to render It impracticable to attempt a detailed- roster.

ADVENTIST SENT TO PRISON German Soldie£*. Refuses to Obey Orders on SaKlrday Despite Two Sentences. Berlin. — Private Naumann has every prospect of spending t h e remainder of his life in prison because he persistently refuses to submit to military discipline on Saturday. Naumann, who belongs to t h e sect known as the Adventists, declares that Saturday is the real Sabbath, and that any kind of work on that d a y . even the lightest, is in the highest ^degree sinful. W h e n he became a soidter In 1907 he refused to obey any orders between sunset on Friday a n d sunset on Saturday. He was in consequence s e n t e n c e d to three months' imprisonment, but when released resumed his mutinous conduct and. received a second sentence of twox years' imprisonment. When released again he refused obedl* ence and w a s sentenced to five years' Imprisonment. On appeal, the higher military court . retried the case. Questioned by the presiding officer of the court, Naumann declared that as a Christian soldier his duty w a s to obey the religious law and refuse all work on t h e Sabbath. A s y s t e m a t i c study of t h e Bible had convinced h i m that It w a s wrong to regard Sunday a s the Sabbath, which was really Saturday. It was pointed out that continued persistence in this attitude would Inevitably result in his spending his entire life within prison walls, and' t h e presiding officer asked w h e t h e r Naumann w a s prepared to a c c e p t such consequences. Naumann replied: "Yes, certainly." .Questioned whether in w a r he would r e f u w t o fight on Saturdays, Naumann replied that he w o u l d then obey orders because the danger t o the Fatherland would justify it.

Considerable satisfaction «111 be felt by mankind generally at the argument advanced by a married woman In i suit Involving another woman thai "i husband la property to a wife and a family, and to win him away is nothing short of stealing." So it Is the husband and not the wife that is the "human chattel." Tae admission controverts the theory upheld through generations of feminist protest against the, serfdom Imposed by man on his domestic partner through unequal mar. rlage laws, says the New York Herald. The honest confession that the contrary is the case has been secured at last, but at a cost to feminine consistency which may be expected to bring its proper rebuke from every woman** cltfb m t h e land. T h e fair plaintiff to secure her own ends has proved false to one of the cheriBhed IniTiciples of her sex. But the truth I* out. It iB mat* who is the chattel, possession of whom is gained by tiie marriage ceremony and the right, title and interest to whom has been established in Buits for non-support or for abandonment during marriage as well a s in alimony proceedings afterward. His status as matrimonial property has, to be sure, long been a. matter of court record. PRESIDENT T A F T WATCHES CLOSING SCENES, T H E N CALLS EXTRA SESSION. TARIFF BOARD BILL PASSED BY SENATE, 16 DEFEATED IN T H E HOUSE. Here is high valetry and variety with a vengeance! A roomelerk in an uptown palace hotel tells of a palace revolution that douhle discounts a jerked-beef mutiny in Rio Janeiio, says the- New York Press. He says: "The Valets an8"maids we get here lire far'iriore difficult to deal with than their masters and m i s t r e s s ^ . Most of them insist upon leaving roomys withj private baths and turn up their nouee :;t anything else. It has happened at ^ times that; the servants' rooms were all occupied and we had to put a valet or a maid into a room with a bath, a regular guest room, charging the regular servant rate. The result is that every 'gentleman's gentleman' that comes here now demands a. 'bahth' as his inalienable right." The coming generation, in our ciUes at least, is likely to have a more lively appreciation of the value of freBh fiir than the one that has preceded. Within the past three years nearly fifty cities have established open«alr schools for the benefit of tuberculous children, says ..the Uoston Transcript. Providence began it and other municipalities have followed on, though not all have developed the idea to the same extent. Boston, for Instance, might profitably carry it farther than she has. Pawtucket, Tt. 1.,. not only has a fine open-air school, but proposes to have at least one open,-air room in -every school building in the city, where delicate children can receive the tonjc influence which nature «o bountifully provides. Stormy House Filibuster at Close o1 the Session Forces Withdrawal of Taft Bill. The sixty-first congress came to an end Saturday by constitutional limi tation. Despite the peril that threat ened some of the big appropriation bills almost up to the last moment they all finally got through and re ceived the signature of the president. The last bill signed by the speaker of the House was the postoffice appropriation act. Consideration of immediate s t a t e hood for New Mexico and Arizona held up the business of the Senate for two hours and threatened to de feat several big appropriation bills. The Senate had under consideration the resolution formally approving the New Mexico constitution. Senator Owen insisting, that the Arizona constitution should be approved at the same time, held the floor against all efforts to displace him until the Senate leaders agreed to couple Arizona with New Mexico. After the two propositions had been coupled, however the Senate v<*ted down the "resolution, 45 to 39. It was asserted later that this does not mean Mexico cannot be admitted by action of the president. Tariff Beard Bill Passes. Amid turbulent .scenes the Senate passed the tariff board bill by a vote of GO to 23. The end of the lone? tight for this board, strongly recommended by President Taft, came amid stormy scenes. The bill provides f«r the Removal cf the tariff out of politics. It places inquiries into tariff matters into the hands of a commission of expert:--, who will investigate one Schedule at a time from a purely scientific point of view and report to congress as to what duties should be lowered or-increased.

"Now, therefore, by virtue of the power vested In me* by the constitution, I do hereby proclaim and declare that an extraordinary occasion requires ttie convening of both houses of the congress of the United States at their respective chambers in the city of Washington on the fourth of April, 1911, at 12 o'clock noon, to the end that they may consider and determine whether the congress shall, by the necessary legislation, make operative the agreement." !.', i Ur- ra THE T W O PARTY CONVENTIONS AND T H E N0WHNEE3 TO BE VOTED FOR.

The withdrawal was formally mad*; by Republican loader Payne. fe^ K n r The filibusters began wlt-h tbe-ftrst movement to put through the tariff board measure under an agreement limiting debate. The Democrats objected to the consideration of the measure and started a series of roll calls which defeated the measure,- All appearance of order was freqneutiy lost- in the Hoiree. Speaker Cannon repeatedly ordered the ^ergeant- at-arms to drive 'members back into their seats. Democrats clamored for the recognition they claimed wan denied them, and the Republican leaders adopted every possible expedient to-bead off the filibuster. The deficiency appropriation bill was saved by a parliamentary move unexpected by the FltzRerald forces. Chairman Tawney of the appropriations committee ^was recognized by the first seconi" ie"e; ^ this means"""rre^had the conference report up for consideration before the Democrats could heail^if off and the defeat of the bill by " t h e time limit was avoided. The House at 12:35 p. m. adjourned sine die, following a speech by Speaker Cannon, in which he discussed the policy he had sought to observe In pre aiding over the lower House of congress. The speaker expressed the Taith that the next House will observe fair play under the constitution. Speaker Cannon in his farewell speech said he would b« glad to serve under "the general rule" of Speakerto- be Clark, following adjournment.

NEW LINE IN CENTRAL OREGON Will Open Up 5,000,000 Acres of Government Lands. Portland, Ore.—The long-heralded invasion of central Oregon by the I Hill lines will become a reality on March 1, when passengers and freight service will be inaugurated between Clarke, Wash., on the north side of the Columbia river, and Madras, O r e , 115 miles up the Deschutes valley. The new line will open a fertile and undeveloped territory which hercLo fore has been difficult, of access for lack of transportation-facilities. Settlers have been going in "by team for the past few months in great nunrhers and filing on the free homestead lands. There are 5,000,000 acres cf government land that will be made Immediately accessible.

Democratic Convention. The Democratic State Convention held in Muskegon was harmonious in the main. An attempt, to prevent an endorsement of reciprocity was squelched. The nominees of the party are: Justices of the supreme court—- .Tokn E. Kinnane, Bay City-f'"H. II. Sanford, Mt. Pleasant,,>-" Members bo^rcU t>'f agriculture— John A--. Weston, Lansing; A. E. Stevenson, Pjorf'-Huroii. Regents of the university—John W. Ahderson, Detroit; Dr. Henry F. Kremers, Holland. Member state board of education1— James A. King, Manistee. Superintendent of public instruction —John B. Cleveland, Muskegon. The platform reaffirms the platform adopted at Kalamazoo in 1910. Congratulations are extended the people on the election of two Democratic congressmen and says: "We recognize the merit embodied in the true principle of reciprocity properly applied in connection with concurrent downward revision of the tariff, and we commend the statesmanship of the Democratic representatives in congress who rose above partisanship in connection with the pending treaty, and declare that we have full confidence that the Democratfc house of representatives will promptly enact measures for the downward revision of the tariff on such commodities and products as will remove discrimination and make the same equitable for all classes. "We reaffirm our belief in the principles of the initiative, referendum and recall." The platform concludes with a sharp criticism of the present state administration and adds: "We renew our declaration of previous campaigns that Michigan will never be redeemed from misrule, questionable politics and political corruption until a complete change in party control Is accomplished; and the Democratic party renews its pledge to bring about such reformation if given the opportunity."

W a | p e r and Henry, frrfved*U^iM|piuette.,accompanied by Sergt.-at-Arms Bush, of t h e House, and a stenographer, and went immediately to work. Warden Russell and the members of the - investigating committee came to an agreement as to the manner of conducting the investigation. The convicts will be brought In .for a preliminary examination in secret. It their testimony is against the warden, and is sufficiently serious to be considered, the men will be>TOUgot in for examination by the warden, and he will be permitted to offe> counter testimony. It developed that the chief thing t h e warden fears is charges which, it is said, will be brought against him by his political enemies in Marquette, outside of the question of the treatment of convicts. It was agreed that any such testimony is to be presented In open court. The warden told the mei*bers of the committee that he thought they wanted to be fair. Mr. Russell surprised the committee by declaring that the paddle is only applied until the prisoner gives in and promises to obey the rules in the future. "That's the purpose of the paddle. When a man promises to obey the rules that's all tliere is to it. "The prisoners are stripped and covered with a sheet," said Mr. Russell. "They are caused to bend over the barrel and the paddle, dipped in salty water, is applied. You bet it stings, but it doesn't break the flesh oif cause permanent injury. The purpose of the punishment is to secure the greatest amount of pain without possibility;_ of serious injury to the subject. -^ Promptly Confirmed.

T H E YOUNG BRIDE'S FIRST DISCOVERY T^eir wedding tour had ended, and they entered their new home to settle down to what they hoped to be one long uninterrupted blissful honeymoon. But, alas! the young bride's trouble* rt>on begin? when she tried to reduce the cost of living with cheap big can baking powders. She soon discovered that all she got was a lot for her money, and it was notalMtftWing powder, for the bulk of it was cheap materials which had no leavening power. Such powders will not make light, wholesome food. And because of the absence of leavening gas, it requires from two or three times as much to raise cakes or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking Powder. Thus, eventually, the actual cost to you, of cheap baking powders, is mor,e than Calumet would be. Cheap baking powders often leave the bread bleached and acid, sometimes yellow and alkaline, and often unpalatable. They are not always of uniform strength and quality.( Now the bride buys Calumet—the per* fectly wholesome baking powder, moderate in price, and always uniform and reliable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, make* cooking easy, and is certainly the most economical after all. Common sense in an uncommon dtj* gree is what the world calls wisdom;— Coleridge. • •• , ., Take TLOA 0XCA7TK1BV SA CHOHXQMAO I NO OulKBSlM D ATT* M«tf, Ul>BrojOarV1«HMtitwtftsawa4t emnolenoeya efttrfifte bfoaxil.s toJf tevw e. few* Some women are good to look at. but bad to be tied to.

The richly decorated reception rooms, brilliantly illuminated with toft incandescent lights artistically arranged behind banks of flowers, lw«re filled with people. In the air •was the familiar buzz always p,re_sent In a room wMre each person is trying to speak at the stme time. On all •sides one heard fragments of inept conversation. "So good of you to come! How well you're looking, my dear." "My husband? Oh, he's at the club, playing poker, as usual. He hates music." "I've such a terrible cold!" "Trouble with servants? I should eay so. I bounced my cook this morning." "Aren't these affairs awfully tiresome?" "I was so glad to come. I always enjoy your musicales." "Dr. Bernstein coming? How perfectly delightful. I'll ask him for his autograph."' "What's psychology?" i. "Something tu du Willi, religion, 1 think." "Haven't we bren having dreadful •weather?" "1 saw you at the opera." "Doesn't she look sweel?" "Oh, I think it's just lovely." People now arrived in quick succession and, forming little groups, the room soon presented an animated scene. The' women in their smart gowns and the men in their black coats made a pleasing picture. "Sly dear Sirs. Jeffries, how do you do this evening?" exclaimed a rich, deep voice. The hostess turned to greet an elderly and distinguished-looking man Who/bad just entered. Directly he came Jn voices were hushed, and on every aide one heard the whisper: ^There's Judge Brewster, the famous lawyer," There was a general craning of necks to catch a glimpse of the eminent jurist whose brilliant address to the j u r j f i n a recent cause celebre nad saved an innocent man from the electric chair. Richard Brewster was a fine example of the old school statesmanlawyer of the Henry Clay 'type. He belonged to that small class of public men who are independent of all coteries, whose only ambition is to l*#erve their country well, who know mo other duty^than that dictated by Kfuvsc?" if:," liant and forceful orator, there-^vas no office in the gift of the nation that might not have been hfs'for the asking, but he hadi^nCfaate for politics. After aervlngr with honor for some years pxtthe bench he retired Into private practice, and thereafter hie -liame became one ^ 6 conjure with In t h e - law courts. By sheer power of his matchless oratory and unanswerable logic he won case after case for etidats and it is a tribute to his t | | record the plain fact that in Career he -never championed a Mfl£*which he Heed be ashamed. Powerful financial interests bad attempted t o secure his services by offers'of princely retainers, but without success. He fought the trusts bitterly every time he found them oppressing bis profession. Alicia advanced with extended hand. "This ^s indeed kind, judge," she exclaimed with a gracious smile. "I hardly dared hope that my poor musicale would be so honored." v ; ' ^ 1!he«old lawyer smiled good-humor- S ^ ^ P W f a 8 he replied gallantly: •' M ^ ¾ don't know much about music, Judge Brewster dubiously. " I Don't Know Much About Music, NTm." shook his head —" S o , sir, we lawyers never rest. We can't. No soorter is one case disposed of than another crops up to claim our attention, The trouble with this country is that we have too much law. < If I were to be guilty of an epigram I would say that the country has so-much law that it is practically lawless." "So you're preparing another case, eh'?" said- Sir. Jeffries; interested. "What is it—a secret?" "Oh, n o ! " answered the lawyer, "the newspapers will bo full of it in a day or two. We are going to bring suit against the citr. It's really a test case that should interest every citizen; a protest against the highhanded" actions of the police." The banker elevated his eyebrows. 'Indeed," he exclaimed. -"-W4wrti tering women. Each was more elab^- have the police been doing now?" The lawyer looked at his client in surprise. "Why, my dear sir, you must have seen by the papers what'B been going on in our city of late. The papers have been full of it. Police brutality, Illegal arrests, assaults in station houses, star-chamber methods that would disgrace the middle ages. A state of affairs exists to-day in the city of New York wl#ch is inconceivable.

It was simply a repetition c-f his old tactics. A.couviction. no, matter at what cost. "What do you hope to bring about by this suit?" "Arouse public indignation, and if possible get Capt. Clinton dismissed from the force. His record is none too savory. Charges of graft have been made against him time and time again, but so far nothing lias boon proved. To-day he is a man of wealth on a comparatively small salary. Do you suppose his money could have come to him honestly?" In another corner of the salon stood Dr. irernstoin, the celebrated psychologist, the center of an excited crowd* of enthusiastic admirers. Alicia approached a group of chatof terror-stricken Russia. Take a po \\CB official of Capt. Clinton's type. Hfs only notion of the law, is brute force and the night stick. A bully by nature, a man of the coarsest instincts and enormous physical strength, he loves to play the tyrant. In his precinct he poses as a kind of czar and fondly imagines he has the power to administer the law itself. By his brow-beating tactics, intolerable under Anglo-Saxon government, he is turning our police force into a gang of ruffians who have the city terrorstricken. In order to further his political ambitions he stops at nothing. .He lets the guilty escape when influence he can't resist is brought to bear, but in order to keep up his record with the department he makes arrests without the slightest justification. To secure convictions he manufactures, with the aid of his detectives, all kinds of perjured evidence. To paraphrase a well-known saying, his motto is: 'Convict—honestly, if you can-—but convict.' " "It is outrageous," said Mrr~<Jeffrtes. "No one can approve such methods. Of course, in dealing with the criminal population of a great city, they cannot wear kid gloves, but Capt. Clinton certainly goes too far, What is the specific complaint on which the suit is based?" "Capt. Cllaton," replied the judge, "made ,the mistake of persecuting a young woman who happened to be the daughter of a wealthy client of mine. One of his detectives arrested h e r on a charge of shoplifting. The girl, mind you, is of excellent family and irreproachable character. My client and his lawyer tried to show Capt. Clinton that he had'made a serioua blunder, but he brasened it out, claiming on the stand that the girt waa a n old offender^ Of oonrte, ^ h e waa forced at last Jo admit hit mUttk* orately dressed than her neighbor, and loaded down with rare gems. They at once stopped talking as their hostess came up. "It was so good of you to come!" said Alicia effusively to a fat woman with Impossible blonde hair and a rouged face, "I want to introduce ~TJr. Bernstein to you." "Oh, I shall be delighted," smiled the blonde. Gushingly she added: "How perfectly exquisite you look tonight, my dear." "Do you think so?" said Alicia, pleased at the clumsy flattery. s "Your dress is stunning and your tiara simply gorgeous," raved another. "Your musicales are always so delightful," exclaimed a third. At that moment Mr. Jeffries caught his wife by tne arm and drew her attention to some newcomers. With a laugh she left the group and hurried toward the door. Directly she was out of earshot, the three women began whispering: ^"Isn't she terribly overdressed?" exclaimed the blonde. "The cheek of such a parvenue to wear that tiara." "Her face is all made up, too," said another. "These affairs of hers are awfully stupid, don't you think so?" piped the third. "Yes, they bore everybody to death," said the blondev "She's ambitious and likes to think she is a social leader. I only come here because it amuses me to see what a fool she makes of herself. Fancy a woman of her age marrying a man old enough to be her father. By the by, ^ don't see hervbeau here to-night." "You mean that scamp, Robert Underwood?" "Isn't it perfectly scandalous, the way he dances after her? I'm surprised Mr. Jeffries allows him to come to the house." "Maybe there's been a row. Perhaps that explains why he's not here to-night. It's the first time I've known him absent from one of her musicales." * - "He's conspicuous by his absence. Do you know what I heard the other day? I waa told that Underwood had again been caught cheating a t cards and summarily expelled fr?m t h e club —kicked out, so to apeak.' "I'm not a t all surprised. I always had my doubts about h l a . *He induced a friend of mine to buy > ptc/ tune, and got a tremeadoua price,for It M ta* faise representation thai ft. waa a genuine Corpt My triend fbtfrkd out afterward that he had been duped. Proceedings .were threatened, but Underwood managed to hush the affair by returning part of the money." In another part of the room a couple were discussing Sir. Jeffries as lie stood, talking with Judge Brewster. "Did you notice how Mr. Jeffries has aged recently? He no longer seems the same mar/." "No Wonder, after all the trouble he's had. Of/course you know what a disappointment his son turned out?" "A scamp, I understand. Married a chorus girl and all that sort of thing." "Not exactly, but almost as bad. The girl was a waitress or something like that in a restaurant. She's very common; her father died in prison. You can imagine the blow to old Jeffries. He turned the boy adrift and left him to shift for himself." Alicia approached her husband, who was still ta_lking_withJudge Brewster She was leaning on the arm of a tall. handsome man with a dark Van Dyke beard. "Who are yon discussing wjth such interest?" she demanded', as she came up with her escort. "We Avere talking of Capt. Clinton and his detestable police methods," said the banker. "Judge," said Alicia, turning to the lawyer, "allow me to introduce Dr. Bernstein. Doctor, this is Judge Brewster." The stranger bowed low, as he replied courteously: "The-fame of Judge Brewster has spread to "eSwy state in the union." A faint smile spread, over the face of the famous lawyer as he extended his hand: " ^ . ^ "I've cJlBn—lK'ard -ftt-xou. too, doc7 tor. I've been reading with great interest your book, 'Experimental Psychology.' Do you know," he wont on earnestly, "there's a lot in tiiat. We have still much to learn in that direction." "I think," said Dr. Bernstein, quietly, "that we're only on the threshold of wonderful discoveries." Pleased to find that her two distinguished guests were congenial, Alicia left them to themselves and joined her other guests. "Yes," said the lawyer musingly, "man has studied for centuries the mechanism at. Ihtx body, but he has ncgiecto^ entirely the mechanism of the mind." Dr. Bernstein smiled approvingly. "We are just waking up," he replied quickly. "People are beginning to look upon psychology seriously. Up -'to comparatively recently the layman has regarded psychology as the domain of the philosopher and the dreamer. It did not seftrrr^possible that it could ever be applied to our practical everyday life, but of late we have made remarkable strides. Although it is a comparatively new science, you will probably be astonished to learn that there are to-day in the United States 50 psychological laboratories. That is to say, workshops fully equipped with every device known for the probing of the human brain. In my laboratory in California alone I have as many as twenty rooms hung with electric wires and equipped with all the necessary instruments— chronoscopes, kymograph, tachistoscopes and ergographa — instruments which enable us to measure, and record the human brain as accurately as the Bertillon system." "Really,' you astonish m e ! " exclaimed the judge. "This is most interesting. Think of laboratories solely devoted to delving into mysteries of the human brain! It fs wonderful!" He was silent for a moment, then he said: "It is quite plain, I think, that psychology can prove most useful in medicine. It is, I take It, the very foundation of mental healing, but what else would it do for humanity? For instance, can it help me, the lawyer?" Dr, Bernstein smiled. "You gentlemen of the law have always scoffed at the very suggestion of bringing psychology to your aid, but just think, sir, how enormously it might aid you in cross-'fexnmining a witness. You can tell with almost scientific accuracy *if the witness is telling lies or the truth, and the same would be clear to the judge and (he Jury. Just think how your powers would be increased if by your skill in, psychological observation you could convince the jury that your client, who was about t o be convicted on circumstantial evidence alone, was really innocent of the crime of which he waa charged. Why, sir, the road which psychology opens up to the lawyer ia well-nigh boundless. Don't you use the Bertillon system to meaaure the body? Don't you rely on thumb prints to identify the hand? How de you know that we psychologists are not able to-day to teat the individual <iii< ferepcea of men?" (TO BE CONTINUED.) To the Man ef Hence. Beat g*i*» «rc the name la loetee -Heskd. TOWER TO BE SAVEO Huge Eiffel iStflictyre Converter Into Wireless Station. From Its Top Messages Arc Sent 5,000 Miles—Soon to Be in Touch W i t h the United States. P a r i s . - F r o m .the summit of the Elf fel tower, 984 feet in the air, scientists communicate with ships nearly 5,000 miles out at sea. It is radio-telegraphy which makes it possible to transmit to all vessels within that dis tance a given time, say the hour of noon, mathematically exact within the tenth of a second, the speed of the Hertzian waves being almost-equal to. that jot light. Put in possession of the chronometrlc time, the sailor determines the exact spot where the ship is at that moment. He calculates the longitude and the latitude with absolute correctness. The Importance of this exactitude lies in the fact that It allows of the correction of serious errors. The best marine chronometers In use are subject, after a few weeks or months of navigation, to variations of two gr three seconds or more, and each epfor of a second in time corresponds to the exact position of the ship. A metre ia slightly more than a yard. Th6 method now used at the Eiffel tower >wa3 first experimented with last June. An increase in the power of electric batteries and Improvements in other instruments enabled radiotelegraphic signals to be sent and received. Certain wireless telegraph stations in the Unitdd States, which have water power at their disposal and are thus able to produce larger quantities of electric energy, had already sent electric waves as far as Europe, where they were registered by sensitive apparatus. In transmitting the hour to ships at sea the co-operation of the Paris observatory Is, of course, required. In the silent observatory are the two principal ctocks_re_gulated to the hundredth of a second, which were ordered by Bailiard, the director of the observatory, from T,eroy, the chronometer maker of the French navy.

Exactly at 10:59 o'clock In the morning and at 11:59 at night the astronomer on duty, with one eye on the telescope, watches the hand of the clock and sends the first electric signals to the wireless telegraph station near the tower, From there, Immediately transmitted by radie-telegraphy, they travel immense distances, warning navigators and other wireless stations. Then, exactly # the hour, and twice again a t intervals of two minutes, the clockwork automatically establishes a contact, by means of which an electric manipulator in the Eiffel tower sets up a discharge of Hertzian waves. These waves, spreading through space, reach t h e limits of the immense circle of which the tower is tho center, Influencing all the receivers in this area and conveying to all, as It were, the beat of a heart which is felt in the pulsations of the remotest arteries. In the wireless telegraphy station, 100 yards away in the Champs-de- Mars, tho military authorities hold sway. The station keeps Paris In touch with the frontier, and even with remote posts in Africa.

C l u g — ) (C«§yri»ki ! » « * » t SritaU.j I RING the two years that 1 had acted as secretary to Dr. Ivan Brodsky, assisting him In his psychical experiments. I had been enabled to build up an active medical practice of my own. My duties were light; often the doctor did not call upon my services for two or three weeks together. More and more rarely had be done so of recent months, and gradually the conviction, sure, although intuitive, was borne in upon me that the days of our association were num. bered. » Although comparatively young in years, Brodsky lived through the existences of three ordinary men. His early revolutionary career in Poland, his struggles in America, at first for the mere necessities of life, afterward for success; finally, the dedication of his career to the solution of psyschical problems lias satiated him with worldly experiences. He was unmarried; his only ties lay, as he had told me, upon the veiled shore of eternity, 1 felt that life held nqthing further far him. "Death," he said to me once, "is no result *-of physical processes. So wonderful a machine is the hun.an ody that there exists no reason at ail why it should not go on forever. What kills is the satiation with earthly experiences that comes to us; it is the longing of the soul fm Its resting place, where it stores up and absorbs all the/results of its earthly achievements until it is ready to renew them In some fresh incarnation." "And you—are you satisfied?" I ventured to ask. "Not with the world," ho answered. "Hut with my own personalitf*-yes. I am tired of Ivan Brodsky. These incarnations are the merest halting places in the soul's long pilgrimage. I would like to take up my work afiesli, but In a dlffereht Body, so (hat I might forget Brodsky, with his hopes and longings and disappointments, and face the world with the fresh anticipations and new faith of a child." "But that is annihilation," I cried. "All the dreams of immortality that are the hope of the world, the desire for continued personal existence afler death—are thepe all useless?" "By no means," the doctor answered. "The personality persists after the change called death. It remains BO long as it is needed. Reincarnation is not fulfilled until the soul has grown tired of its remembrances and voluntarily descends, after some thousand years of dreams, to gain new experiences, And then, though it puts off the old personality forever, the resultB of its acts remain to modify its new life; shadowy remembrances flit through the brain; old friends are encountered; besides, in the end, everything Is remembered. • /Vftr those, who wish continued, personality There is a heaven of rest where every dream and hope come true. But as for myself, I confess, if only I could start life again and take up my work in a new body I should be infinitely content. Nor will this be long, I believe." I knew that he alluded to his heart, which was somewhat affected; yet the danger was not imminent nor likely to become so for many years to come. "At any rate, I shall be ready to answer the call, when it comes," said the doctor. He walked over to his desk and unlocked a -drawer. "Here Is a sealed letter that I have left you," he said. "After my death you will open it." I wondered even then why he did Hot lock the drawer. I remembered this conversation the more vividly in the light of subsequent events. It must have been a little more than a week later when he sent for me. "1 am resolved to undertake an experiment," be said, "more difficult than any that 1 have ever attempted. It has been done before; yet it is arduous and uncertain. You have heard of the Indian fakirs who actually pass over the borderland of death, allowing themselves to be buried in a grave, on which the grass sprouts, only to be revived after a period of months?" "You will not attempt such a s experiment as that?" I cried. . "No," answered the doctor, -ft would be senseless to attempt so foolish an experiment without grave reason. Nevertheless I am planning one. somewhat analogous; I Intend to past through the gates of death for the sake of giving bsck to one who has been deprived of it his inheritance of the soul." "You mean the Imbecile!" I cried, suddenly understanding. "Yes," answered the doctor. "I hope that this will succeed; but if my own death be the result,,at least the last act of my life will have been to. some good purpose?" And I would not dissuade him from hia In tendon. Among the dosen or more Inmates of Dr. Brodsky's home, whom he maintained out of his o*wrr pocket, was an Imbecile orphan, aome seven years of age. Thta child had never exhibited the slightest sign of intelligence; he lived a purely vegetative existence, had never learned to crawl, to uiter a word. He did not even post-ess the common animal facu l t y of recognising one person from another. As there existed no apparent cause for this defect, no deformity of the head or body, and the vital functions being la perfect condition, many theories had been advanced as to the cause of so singular an anomaly. Dr. Brodsky, after studying the child for many months, had finally formulated his own conclusions. "It is one of those rare cases," he said, "in which ibe soul was not born into the body. Itv remains shut out. as you can imagine yourself shut out of your hoiuse. Doubtless It is hovering in close proximity to the mortal form, connected, as it must be, by the ethereal ligatures that bind it to the spinal cord. In this condition, it is practically deprived of Its existence upon either of the planes; it is earthbound and spirit-bound. And there is only one remedy; some other disembodied soul must-assist it.--It is my plan to pass out of the body temporarily and to compel it to incarcerate itsplf." "And if you cannot return?'^ I cried. "I shall ask your assistance in this matter," the doctor answered. "I shall give you careful instructions, which you will fulfill to the letter. If, after the lapse of a certain time, you find that these attempts are fruitless, you will break open the letter which 1 have left for you in the bureau drawer, and read it." I can hardly tell how this project affected me. In vain I pointed out to the doctor the inexpediency, from a pure'.y utilitarian point of view, of risking his own life for the sake of giving intelligence to the imbecile. But my words were unheeded. I felt effects of the, current, but under the surgeon's knife. I have especially contrived this Instrument for the purpose of proving my contention, although 1 little imagined at the .time I set it forth that I was likely to be the first subject. The soul, which is purely electrical, is attached to the body by extremely tenuous, but none the less substantial ligaments, and, when driven out by some violent shock, remains tor some days floating above it, until the ligaments give way and set it free. By means of this mechanism I claim that the expelled soul can be conducted along the wire and stored within the globe, which U,*vnerfect vacuum, ajad where Its. 'presence will be indicated by the appearance of a wisp ef light. "To sum up, I shall electrocute myself and the Imbecile child. You will wait until you see the two threads of flame appear within the center of the globe. Then you will fling back the lever, and again push it forward to the notch marked E. That will be all your task. The reversal of the current will again force each separate soul along the wire—mine, into my own body, and the imbecile"s, 1 hope into his." "But if you do not awaken?" I cried. "You will then wait until Rome unusual symptom intervenes, either in the child or in myself. And now 1 confess that I am sufficiently humar to\ feel a certain sense of apprehension. So give me your hand; remember, if this should be our last experiment, we have yet many more parts to play, and lives to play them in; be ready to play your own part sturdily in this." He gripped my hand in farewell. My own answered the pressure; then 1 averted my head anfl waited. Meanthat in truth this was to be our last experiment, that it amounted almost to premeditated suicide. I refused to participate in it. •, Well, in the end, of course, I consented, though I felt that this would be the last occasion upon which I should look into the doctor's face while he was alive. Looking back now, I think my mind must have been warped; I accuse myself a hundred timts of having been the cause of Brodsky's death. Yet the first lesson that he had implanted in my mfnd, ever since I first heard him lecture to us students at the hospital, was the duty of obedience. He had commanded and it was for me to obey. Especially, however, I base my vindication v upen that hypnotic power through the medium of which Brodsky possessed the ability to compel me, or anyone else, to obey him. Some days elapsed before the experiment was made. "Brodsky occupied, himself during this interval, as I surmised, In setting hia affairs in order. At last, upon the afternoon appointed, 1 repaired with him to his laboratory, a long chamber In the rear .of the house, completely shut off from all communication with the external. Ordinarily there was no sound within, but now a great electrical engine buzzed and throbbed beside a low, flat table, raised only some six inches above the floor, and surmounted by a large bowl of a translucent blue, into which the wires entered. Upon the table the imbecile child sat. propped up against a flexible pillow of rubber, or some similar non-conducting material, searching the room with hiSv large lack-luster eyet. The doctor stooped over his machine and midfe bis adjustments; then he connected a rubber sponge, at the termination of a network of wires, with the child's spine, and bound it there with strips of cloth in such a manner that it could not be removed. He drew another wire,' terminating in a similar sponge, from the recesses of the machine, and affixed it to himself In the same way; finally, he united both to the metal base of the globe with a clamp. Immediately the globs became dark and opaque. "That is the measure of our vital forces," he said. "And now I will give you your instructions. "It was my intention to ask you to press the lever which will send the high voltage through our bodies. But in case of any untoward results you would reproach yourself with being my slayer. 1 shajl, therefore, myself press the lever, and Isy upon you only the responsibility of recalling me to Mfe again. "When I press this lever It will send a current of electricty of fevers I thousand volts directly through our bodies. The effect will be the sr.me as that which is produced by an electrocution. Now it has always been my claim—although the authorities of our prisons would never permit me to demonstrate it—that the man who has suffered electrocution can invariably be revived by the proper methods, since the current merely paralyzes the nerve centers and suspends the vital functions, without destroying any of the tissues. The criminal who goes to the electric chair dJoJ. not from the lowed mine, and a current of unjntetigible babbling came from between the child's lips. But Brodsky lay as when he had fallen, nor was there any relaxation in the stiffened limbs. A spasm of fear seemed to turn the muscles of my heart to stone. 1 stared into the bowl. There was but one light there now, a tiny, fluttering thing, that seemed each moment to become more and mere attenuated. It danced more feebly, beating from side to side in inefficiency, now darting back, now dancing forward once again to where the wires entered the vacuum. I bent over the body of the doctor, chafing the hands in vain; I».touckjdv the. cbeaks, .tow growing cold. More and more slowly moved that butterfly light. It hovered, a pitiful, tiny thing, poised in the midst of the globe, which was itself changing In color and slowly fading in brilliancy. Now it was a deep blue, merging into indigo, and from the edges black shadows seemed to creep forward and envelope that little spark at the heart of it. This became but a pin-point of light; then it glowed no more than, ihe burnt-out end of » match. One instant it flickered up; then it went out abruptly, and the globe was utterly dark and opaque. I placed my hand oace more on the doctor's. It was icily cold, and, as T bent over him, I saw the stiffness go out of the muscles and the limbs relax. Some frenzy must have overcome me next. I must have torn away the wires and overturned the globe, for, when I came to my senses, nothing remained of the apparatus except the lifeless bulk of the electrical machine, while all around me was a wreckage of wires, f lifted the doctor's body in my arms and Tarried him into his % ^^SW^MC'J K^eznet frenzy xntisi Asv*»; ovwrconme. while BrodBky, kneeling on the low table, in the position of a Japanese In some old print, about to commit the fatal thrust that should cause instantaneous death, braced himself against the Rubber pillow and stretched, out his hand. I beard the imbecile cackle grotesquely, I heard the soft thu^Tof the doctor's body as he collapsed sidewise; and suddenly the opaque globe became a dazzling blue and blue fire spluttered along the wires. It was almost too bright for my eyes to look into it. Gradually it subsided, the globe became a pearly gray, and therewithin, dimly visible through the glass, were two bright flames. Butterfly- shaped, they seemed to pursue one another as goldfish in a bowl, circling and doubling upon their courses, now approaching each other, now dancing apart, now fused into one, elongating, and again retreating to opposite sides of the globe; yet never for one Instant did they cease to hover, with poised and pendulous wings. I stole a fiance at the body of the doctor. He had fallen upon bis side, and lay motionless, apparently lifeless, his limbs outstretched and stiffened as those of a man in some cataleptic trance, while at bfs side, In the same state, the imbecile lay, with glassy eyes wide open. Was it indeed possible, I asked myself, that thove two souls, one Imbecile, the other a compendium of knowledge and fineness, should in reality be those foolish, circling, butterfly-shaped lights thkt hovered and danced continually? I must have" watched them in fascination for fully five minutes before | suddenly recalled the doctor's instructions. But my hands shook co that I could with difficulty lay them upon the lever. 1 caught it at last, reversed it, and sent It forward again to the notch EI. instantly the flames divided; there came a hiss and splutter, and the wire was once more aflame with the blue light. Then a convulsive trembling seised upon tbe limbs of the imbecile. He gacped. drew in a long breath, and sat up. His eyes fixed* themselves gravely on mine. But It was no longer a glance of bisnknets, as though there were no mind behind tbe vision. He saw me; when 1 moved the cyetfoj* • ( . study. 1 laid him upon a lounge and injected strychnine into the veins. There was no response. I placed my ear against his heart; it did not stir. Against his lips 1 laid a little mirror of silvered glass. It was not clouded. And suddenly I felt a thing pulling at my coat. It was the Imbecile child; It had crawled after me. Then I understood. This was the unusual syratorn of which Brodsky had spoken. Then I knew that I had exhausted all my resources. I rushed to the telephone and summoned medical aid. Hours afterward, at it appeared to me, though it was in reality only a matter of minutes, a doctor arrived. I tried to summer out some explanation, but he cu't'-rne short. "Heart disease," he pronounced. "I warned him only last week that he must he prepared. There will be no need of an autopsy." "But the soul—" 1 stammered— "Tbe soul in the glass globe—" The doctor looked at me gravely. "You must tie down and rest," be answered. "H must have been a great shock to you." So 1 knew that ray words would go for less than nothing. I was ill for weeks after that. Friends took charge of the funeral, friends whom Brodsky had aided, who appeared in countless numbers from unexpected quarters. The funeral partook almost of the character of a public demonstration. Even I had never known the extent of Brodsky's benefactions. Even the physicians of the town, who had regarded him more or less with suspicion, participated In the ceremonies. The newspapers were filled with long accounts of the'dead man's works; bis psychical researches were dismissed lightly. bi:t not contemptuously, as the vagaries of a great thinker, the relaxations of a scienelst. When the will was read I found that I had been left sole executor and chief legatee. The remainder of the doctor's fortune was to go to etfdow tbe home which he had established. .Then, one dsy, while looking through tbe doctor's pspfr*. 1 came upon a sealed letter addressed to me. I bad rorrjotten all about It In the itraln that 1 bad gone thro- ;,b. Hastily I broke tbe seal and read; "You must -pardon mer my friend," ran the letter, ")( ror the ond U*«e I have wilfully deceived fw*(^!

The bleak old walls throw their shadows across many of the last resting places of these natives who have laid llfVs burdens down and crossed over to the other side. It..was with a feeling of sadness and reluctance we left this place, so redolent of memories of a bygone time—but there were other things to see—so, with a sigh of regret, we passed out, and forever, from the portals of this once glorious cathedral and went forth Into the tropical jungle. Here are to be seen the remains of the foundations of the residences and business houses of the people who once inhabited Old Panama. The friendly vegetation seems to be endeavoring to cover oyer and blot from the memory of tha world these remaining evidences of the cruel and heartless deeds of the men of a distant age, who brought wreck and ruin to this erstwhile magnificent city. And how came it about that this city was destroyed? Long, long ago, Sir Henry Morgan, an Englishman—the most noted buccaneer of al,l time—gathered together all the' pirates that infested the Caribbean sea, to the number of 2,000 and sallied forth Jo. quesj of gain. First he attacked Old JProvlcVence, an island that juts abruptly out of the waters of the sea—and the place where many of the terrible West Indian hurricanes are born—and after much hard fighting conquered the people and took what they had. Thence he and his thieving band went to Porto Bello and robbed that city; and then, after they had squandered their ill-gotten gains in riotous living they went fbrth once more with the conquest of Old Panama in view. At the time it was a populous placn, and said to have been the richest, city in all the world—these riches having come from the gold Melds of Peru and bten stored there by the Spaniards. And so'it came to pass that Morgan and his hand of bold buccaneers fought a great battle with the Spaniards who inhabited Old Panama and the surrounding country, and won the victory— though at a fearful cost. Hundreds of his men were slain, while it is recorded that 6,000 Spaniards perished on the field. After this victory Morgan and his men took possession of the city, robbed the people of all they could find, and then set fire to the houses. It is said that the conflagration lasted an entire week. Not a house was left standing—only the blackened walls of the once splendid castle and the wreck of the old cathedral remain to tell the story of the frightful havoc that was wrought by these murderous pirates of that distant day. The old city was never rebuilt—the former inhabitants who escaped the sword of the invaders moved eight miles further down the coast and^iocated on the spot where the populous Pa- ^ a r a a City of today is standing. In the quiet hush of the late afternoon we left the place where •once stood tire rich and prosperous Old City, and as we returned to its successor, the New City of Panama, we lookeM back and could still see in the distance the grim old castle lifting its gray turrets skyward high above the surrounding country; and—well, it stands there toda£ as it has stood through the centuries gone, silently testifying to the barbarous and inhuman conduct of the boldest and most daring buccaneer of all the ages, Homely Face Her Fortune In There are lots of instances where beauty Is invariably beaten to the job when freckles may defy the massage parlor grade of complexion. How about the commercial demand for the uudecoratlve? It is even very great, the agents say. .

A Woman's Letter, Women, it is generally admitted, write better letters than men. M. Marcel Prevost has discovered the reason for this superiority. "The obvious meaning is never.. th£~one we should read into a woman's letter. There is always a veiled meaning. Woman makqg use of a letter just as she employs a glance or a smile, in a way that is carefully thought out, and with an eye-to effect. And, after all, does a woman's hat sprvf tn rnver J i e r . h e a d ? Does a woman's parasol keep off the sun? Why, then, 6hauld a woman's letter serve to convey her real thoughts to the person addressed, just like the letters of some honest grocer, whp writes, 'I send you five pounds of coffee," because he really does send you fiv« pounds of coffee." • % • ' •• - — • NO STOP.

To prevent fruit from being bruised when picked, a fruit picker with flexible holder has been invented, in which provision Is made for varying the capacity of the holder to obviate the necessity of dropping the fruit to any distance, says the Scientific Fruit Pteker With Expansible Holder. American. As shown in the illustration, the fruit picker comprises a pair of Jaws, shown open, in full lines, but which may he drawn to a closed position, shown in dotted lines, by operating a lever connected to one of the jaws by means of a wire. A bag mounted on the jaws passes through a s l o t u d yoke, which limits its capacity. By sliding a sleeve upward, the Jaws are raised, drawing the bag out of the yoke, and increasing its capacity. . . i Hid Strswbsrrttes, Experiments made at the Pennsylvania experiment station sbow that all hill strawberries are not larger and better formed than those grown in matted rows, provided t h e matted row. is a. narrow ene.

While as a rule this fruit has l?e$n grown-tor family con^ sumption, the surplus has found its way to market. The marked decline in the production of peaches within the past few years has brought about a considerable extension of the early apple industry on a commercial scale, which extension has been most marked In the middle Atlantic states, where especially advantageous transportation routes, both rail and water, and the aroximlty of large markets have stimulated the enterprise, which has itB center In the truck-producing region near Philadelphia. The United States department of agriculture, as a result of this extension, has made a sttfdy of the early apple industry, with the middle Atlantic states as ,a field, and published the information collected in a bulletin entitled "Summer Apples In the Middle Atlantic States," issued by the bureau of plant industry. This bulletin is a compendium of information covering all phases of the question of early apple production, including soils, climate, culture, picking, packing, marketing, etc. Numerous varieties are described, and seasons and other data conveniently presented In tabular form.

A novel use of the common garden flower pot may be made by enlarging Uie small opening at the bottom with a pair of pliers, and carefully breaking Pot Fastened to the Board. Iho clay away until the opening is large enough to admit a small bird. Place the pot bottom side up on a board that is throe inches wider than the diameter of the largest pot used and fasten it to the board with wood cleats and "Tira'SK screws. Fit the cleats to the sides of the pot as close as possible, writes William F. Stecker of Massachusetts in' the Popular Mechanics. One or more pots may be used, as shown in the Eketch. The board on which the pots are fastened is nailed or screwed to a post or pole 10 or 12 feet in height. The board is braced with, lath or similar strips of wood, making a framework suitable for a roost. In designing the roost, '.he lath can be arranged to make it quite attractive, or the braces^ may be twigs and branches of a tree to make a rustic effect. tffCMK^ CEZ&bb. _sfe ORTrCOiTURAL Dehorning makes old trees become as new. A strawberry plant is naturally an evergreen. Not everyone who farmB has a good family orchard. Intelligent pruning is also very necessary to raising fruit. The first warm days ctf spring give gardeners an inspiration for flowers. In general, the best results are obtained from spraying applications made In <cloudy Weather. Spraying Is at least half of fruitgrowing as well as a good part of .gardening and truck farming. Pruning the farm orchard Is a knotty problem to the beginner; in fact the older heads are bothered. Be sure to spray the trees from all sides and cover every portion from the ground to the ends of the branches. For currants make ground rich by liberal use of barnyard manure and commercial fertilizer, having plenty of potash. As to the spraying of t h e farm orchard, there is no question but what it will pay and the more thorough you are, the better the results. T h e oozing out of the sap from cherry and peach trees, forming drops or lumps of gum, arises from a diseased condition of the trees. JHirry up the grafting, if not done last month.

It is satisfyisfe to undertake to verify the proverbial ingenuity of our forefathers in a story that tells of what is being done in ttya very day by a few Industrious homesteaders in Uncle Sam's remaining wilderness. "Fifty miles off the railroad," in either direction, describes but a tew isolated spotB that may be pointed to on a very modern map of the United States. One of these is in Arkansas, a s i o n g those extremely southern ragged spurs of the Ozark mountains. It is of *he very little territory yet remaining to be taken up under the homestead laws.

They gradually becamo more severe until they ran all over my body. I could not sleep and could hardly move. I steadily grew worse until I could scarcely open or close m y hands. No relief was obtained until I began, using Doan's Kidney Pills. Soon I felt better and ere long the pain left." Remember the name—Doan's. For sale by all dealers, 50 cents a box.

Take a dose of Hamlinn Wizard Oil and you juat can't catch cold. eight to ten miles distant from your nearest neighbor. If you should so choose to settle*, among a,, group of steep up-aqd-downe, quite removed from a wagon xoad, a little nearer to a trail, and yet a greater and laborious overland distance from a sawmill, it is obvious that you will have to depend, to a great degree, upon your own resources and upon your ability to create with your own hands from those things which nature has provided in a well-wooded country. Imagine yourself placed in one of these vall e y s or upon one of these foothills, with no greater amount of baggage, tools and provisions than could be conveyed over a country of this character with a yoke of oxen. Then, to be commanded, "Here Is the forest and all it contains; go. prepare for yourself your future abode." This is a story of home making under such conditions. The progress of 4*e work is illustrated and in its completion no other than the r a w materials of the forest entered into the struct u r e or Ifs furnishings, save a small amount of hardware and incidentals forming a portion of the Initial supplies brought in as a settler's outfit. T w o young men, homesteaders, both city bred, completed the entire work, unassisted. Of the tools used the double-bitted ax performed the greater portion of the heavy work. It followed in the wake of the croBB-cut saw after i h e felling of the trees, snd, from then on was the chief implement of construction. With it every duty of preparing the logs for raising them into their positions in the building was most adequately performed. First it scored the logs lengthwise, on two opposite sides, ready for wedging and splitting into semicircular halves. Then Jt followed as the tool for hewing the flat surf a c e s of the halMogs, which, completed, formed the smooth inside walls of the dwelling. After each log had been raised into position came the task of "notching down," which required even more skill in the use of an s x . Those few of the native inhabitants of the forest w h o are most r*ronvient In making the dovetailed notches which f ro necessary in completing a perfect set of interlocking timbers are known aa "corner men." At a native hoase raising the ones chosen for the wora are usually skilled woodsmen residing In 'widely separated settlements among the hills.

Nor Is It always possible to make perfect boards, even if the markings of the bark are in accord with governing rules. Native Intuition, difficult o define aids considerably in setectlng the best rees. The practice of "chipping" is a nrlal test. in the most remote forests, many miles from a railroad, It Is difficult to AndjuTarea, even on the jrest of a mountain, that has not been penetrated by the pioneer in search of splitting timber. Far from the nearest settlement, in the depth of a virgin rorest, the intrepid hunter frequently observes these notchings for board trees, even when there is entire absence of other signs of advancing civilization. Out of 21 trees selected and chipped, while observing these rules. 17 were discarded. The remaining- four supplied all the lumber necessary to complete the building operations and a sufficient quantity of choice board* for the mission furnishings. After sawing into eight and ten fobt lengths the logs were rolled into position for splitting. Then followed the scoring preparatory to splitting with mallet, maul and wedges. In the diagram of a cross-section of a piece of pine board timber the entering wedge points the line of the first seam which separates the semi-circular halves. The timber is then quartered and again split the third time. An 18-inch log will produce eight well-shaped bolts, the most practical and convenient stte for splitting with a frow. Bach of these bolts is placed upright into an oak crotch, which Is staked firmly to the ground to act as a support in prying. The cutting edge of tha frow blade Is the lower side of the tool when the handle Is held upright with tha blade resting across the V-shaped end of the. bolt. The heart is waate, which is split from the bolt with a wedge. When t h a cutting edge of the frow blade is placed across these markings the upper or broad edge of the blade Is tapped gently with tha mallet. This operation starts the board. By rooking tha upright handle to and fro the blade opens .a.seam and is entered deeper with little exertion. Ten or fifteen seconds of this prying operation will release a perfectly smooth board from the b o l t All of tha lumber used is tha building operations waa produced by thia method. Tha s a m e process waa applied to shingle making. T h e 6,000 :¾ -Inch boards required for roofing purposes, all split from It-Inch log lengths, ware turned out by two operators with mallet and frow in a day and a half. Other timbers required, such aa the solid oak fbaadatioLvallla, the pine sleepers, or flooring supports, rhe Joists and the rafters, were all handhewn with a broadax from unseasoned trunks. Tha work bench for hand planing and finishing lumber waa improvised from a half-log, 14 inches In diameter, mounted on t w o h\rga stump* and held in position with wooden pegs, , Smaller wooden pegs were used alio, to an extent, aa a substitute ter «aika and serews In tha building; operations An abbreviated assortment of carpenter's and cabinet maker's tools constituted the out** Completed, tha dimensions of. tha i o u s e are Si£W/ftG riATt3U/?rAC£ OTMAIF -LOGS curios, each one of them a pleasant reminder of some little adventure or of an exciting chase through the forest.

The imagination is undisturbed by the vision of a furniture factor's process of imitating the craftsmanship of the pioneer. A maBs of cushions, some filled with pine needles and others stuffed with wild-duck feathers, create a desire to tarry for a rest in good, oldfashion comfort A gun rack, cartridge belts, holsters and other of the articles of a hunter's paraphernalia decorate the walls on each side of this Inviting nook. Tables, chairs, bookcase and writing desk are all in accord and all hand made of raw materials. A few clever articles of convertible furniture lend considerable freedom and convenience In a room that otherwise would be overcrowded. Among these Is a screened dummy elevator which takes the place of cellar and refrigerator and which may be readily converted into a kitchen table, when required, in carving meats, kneading dough and for other culinary purposes. The elevator carriage is four feet in height, with a series of shelves, and it is so constructed that its top forms a square panel in the floor when the carriage is lowered out of view. The whole thing is so well balanced with weights operated by cords and pulleys that it requires but little effort, with one finger in an iron ring, to raise the top to table height above the floor. The dining table is cleared after supper and supplied with a "new cloth, all fresh and clean. Then, it is rolled on its large castors to another part of the room, directly undar a hanging lamp, to serve the purpose of a Hbrarx table for the remainder of the evening. The lamp is suspended, through a hole In the floor, from the ceiling of the bed chamber on the second floor. When all are ready to retire tha lamp is shifted to tha sleeping apartment by means of the raistng-and-lowerlng device. The most marked display of ingenuity h a s been applied to tha kitchen furnishings. Everything but the cook stove and pipe Is home made. Lard palls and vegetable tins have been converted into cooking dishes and utensils of every description. A fondly amount of creative genlul and a two-dollar soldering sat produced all ot the tinware used In the kitchen. On the stove It a OOttolene pail that has been converted into a teapot, complete with spout, handle, cover and inside strainer. Two deep tin coveys, soldered together at their rims and supplied with spout and handle hare produced a vary serviceable bot-water kettle. Then there are store lifters- and shovels, frying pane and a .number of othar small utajudla mada from sheet iron stovepipe lengths—all bant, soldered and riveted by hand, Both the kitchen and the bathroom art supplied with running water conducted to tha house from a spring higher up through a system of wooden troughs. Tha bathtub is of wood, enameled wi whlta paint. A Ruling Passion. "Uncle Pinchpenny spent a gteat deal of time at the home of George Washington." "Yes.

This is practically one-fourth of the entire United States army, including 'those troops in the Philippines and other insular possessions. Thfl navy is to play its part, and a formidable fleet of armored cruisers, suppTemented "by auxillaHls necessary for the successful maintenance of a hostile naval, force on the coast of an enemy will take its place off the Texas shore line. The military force will establish its headquarters at San Anteino under command of MaJ.-Gen. William H. Carter. assistant cbief of staff, "assistedby several brigadier-generals, who will command the brigades into which the grand division will be divided. These brigades will be placed at strategic points^ throughout the department of Texas, including not only the Mexican border towns, to which particular attention will be given, but also Galveston and the other seaports, The situation which has resulted in the sudden movement of 20,000 troops toward the Mexican frontier and tme hurrying of 2.000 marines and five warships *r> | h * gii1f, *a rraf1"ffl1v lir|- folding Itself. Officials of the war and navy departments still contend that the mobilization of one quarter of the entire regular army along the Mexican line is for the purpose of holding Joint army and navy war games, but the fact that it is Intended chiefly a s a military demonstration for the protection of American and other foreign properties in Mexico 1* becoming more certain. There is, however, another consideration which Influenced the presi* dent and his advisers to order this impressive force to the Mexican frontier. It was learned that Mexico about two weeks ago formally protested to the state department that the American side of the dividing line was not being properly patroled. The contention of the Mexican government was that the revolutionists had been able to use the American side as a base of operations. The Mexican troops were, of course, powerless to invade American territory. This protest on the part of Mexico has undoubtedly been considered in connection with the desire of this government to indicate Its disposition to insure the protection of foreign property in Mexico in the event of the Diaz government failing to cope with the situation. At present the United States has no intention of crossing the frontier into Mexico. The purpose of sending the troops into Texas is merely to have them available in the event of a contingency endangering American or other foreign interests in Mexico. Also the mobilization is intended to forestall any formal repre« sentations by European governments. By its activity the United States tacitly notifies the European powers, that it stands ready to • protect foreign property if the Dia* administration fails in its duty. This is undoubtedly the' Interpretation put upon the' action of the war and navy departments by the representatives of foreign governments in Washington. Diaz Is a Busy Man. The health of President Diaz, which appears to have been made a factoi in the situation In some quarters, seemingly has nol( been impaired in the slightest degree by the business of the last few months. Instead oJ being the sick man that he has been painted, he i s said not to have been in better health in a long time. AB evidence of the fact that the executive is in ordinarily good health, to say the least, he Is at his offices in the national palace at 9 o'clock every morning, giving personal attention to the affairs of the nation. Frequently hie duties keep him engaged until after 10 o'clock at night at hit winter residence -in the city. It has been but a few days sinc<* he traveled out to to the field where an aviation meet was in progress and sat for hours watching the flights with evident interest. Troops to Cover 1,000 Miles. Maj.-Gen. William H. Carter, commanding the division, Sunday morning will take charge of the big war game. ,The scene of field operations will be chiefly in the territory to,the south and west adjacent to Mexico. The preliminary plans call for maneuvers ranging over a border territory for more than 1,000 miles. There will be a series of mimic engagements between the combined sea and land forces at Galveston, and several thousand men from the maneuvers camp at Fort Sara Houston. It is claimed by the federal authorities of this district that mobilizing of these 20,000 soldiers in Texas and distributing them along the border will serve as an effective barrier against the sending into Mexico of stores of contraband goods for use of the revolutionists. It is well known that a well organized plan of sending arms and ammunition across.^the border from isolated Texas points has been In effect for several weeks. It is expected that this practice will now be quickly broken up. -* 'f! The Famine In China.

Francisco Madero, provisional president of the Mexican revolutionists, has addres8ed=a=note to each of the foreign powers guaranteeing the persons and property of foreigners in Mexico. This information was received by the confidential, agency of the revolutionists with "instructions to deliver the notes, when they arrive, to the diplomatic representatives of foreign countries accredited to the United States at Washington. Juan Sanchez Azeona, secretary of the confidential agency, give out the following explanation: "Agonal nt ihe r»vn1nffnnistfl In 2.500L0SEH0MESIN E ' _ . *S HARDLY A HOUSE HABITABLE W I T H I N FIVE M.ILES OF PLEASANT PRAIRIE, 'WISCONSIN.

These comrriunica'tions will be delivered to the diplomatic representatives of all the countries accredited to the United States through the confidential agency in Washington. These documents are expected to reach Washington next Tuesday. "Agents of the revolutionary party in San Antonio, Texas, also telegraphed the confidential agency in Washington that they have just received letters dated March 8, In which sympathizers in Mexico City with the revolutionary movement attribute the mobilization of the American troops to the secret intrigues of the government of Diaz. It is said in Mexico City' that the threat of intervention by the United States was influenced by Wall street and that Diaz,- had hopes that he would be able, oy the threat of the possibility of a foreign war, to unify natlonar sentiment In favor of his government. Thereon trary has been the result and the people now "are accusing Diaz of treason and an uprising In the capita, seems imminent." mite, mite, powder. Supt.

In view of the fact that the United States senate failed to remove formally the >eal of secrecy from the new treaty of^-commerce and navigation between the UlHted States and Japan, which was ratified" ori^ February 24, the state department unoWcially made -fche-xmnyention public. ^---^ TheTtreary previously nas been published and the only new feature in connection'with it made known today was an announcement that the United States and Japan shortly will negotiate a consular treaty relating to the privileges and duties of consular officers ip the two countries. It is explained that this consular convention will simply amplify the general provision relating to consular officers contained in the treaty of commerce and navigation by which their usual rights and immunities are guaranteed. The United States already has a number of consular treaties with foreign countries and the new consular treaty with Japan will carry out, it is said, the desire of this government to negotiate such Rpecial convention covering in detail all phases of consular relations.

Six prominent Detroit men and one Chicagoan were indicted in Detroit by a federal grand jury on the charge of ponspiracy in connection with entering claims upon about 48,000 acres or coal lands near Homer, Alaska. These are the men who are the mo&X active in the MirhigacAlaska development company, which the government alleged was the principal agent through which the alleged frauds were committed. Arthur L. Holmes is president of the development company and Mr. Andrus is legal adviser. Each of the indicted men is liable to a term in prison of not more than five years and a fine not to exceed $10,000. Immediate Bteps will be. taken by the government officials to start criminal jprosecutlons in Detroit, and it Is probable that all of them will appear for trial at an early date. No Tinkering With Tariff. That he expects the special session of the sixty-second congress, called for April 4, to restrict itself to consideration of the proposed Canadian reciprocity agreement, was intimated by President Taft in an address before 5,000 persons at the Southern Commercial Congress at Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Taft believes a majority of the new congress will favor reciprocity, and he thinks it will be passed regardless of party lines. If the special session attempts to undertake a general revision o f the~ tariff, or if tries to revise schedules of the Payne-Aldrich law without sufficient scientific data, the president will exercise his power of veto.

Poultry need a variety of food If they are to be kept in a healthy laying condition. There are too many flocks of poultry on our farms during the winter that lack animal and green food—In fact, are fed a one-sided ra* tion. Corn and oats are handy, and It is "something to eat" for the hens. But In order to produce eggs and he profitable, hens must have tome proportion of animal food. Beef scrap is excellent if it is properly prepared and properly, fed. This is a preparation from scraps of beef that are purified and, through a chemical process, are preserved for future use. Care must be taken that the scrap is pure and of good Quality. If it is salty, musty, lumpy, or has a foul odor, it is not fit to feed; in fact, will cause indigestion and bowel trouble when forced upon the hens. Where the hopper system of feeding is followed, do not mix the beef scrap with the grain, but supply it to the fowls in an apartment by itself. Fowls should first become accustomed to it by giving them a little at a time at first Overfeeding of this highly nutritious food will cause bowel trouble, says Wisconsin Farmer. After hens have become accustomed to it, a supply can be kept before them at all times, and toat/they will eat only what they need,' provided they are fed liberally of other tteds and do not partake of the scrip to satisfy their hunger. If it is found that fowls are eating too much of the oeef scrap, take it away altogether and only feed • it occasionally, giving it either in -the mash or feeding it dry, according to the convenience of the poultry keeper. Fowls should have only a small proportion of the beef scrap—about 15 or 20 pounds to each 100 pounds or dry grain, and even less than ^hat will give good results. Farmers who are keeping a small flock of hens for winter eggS—say about fifty hens—will do well to buy a couple of hundred pounds of beef scrap, or any other prepared animal food, and see what a difference can he made in tho production of eggs.—AT*** emiurt» %' 9 «; I v Try Our Graham for Breakfast i Food, it is great.

This is a double-story affair, with a scratching room below. TMB room is open to the south and Is partly below ground, says the Orange Judd Farmer. Not only does this afford a good scratching room, but it aids In moderating the temperature in the roosting room above, which is thus kept warm in winter and cool in summer. If desired, a part of this lower room may be used as a dust bath, preferably with a glassed window in front to protect it from rain and snow and to keep the dust well Bunned. Drinking water should be kept on the second floor, so as to be away from the dust as much as possible. The upper floor Is provided with rooBts, nesta, a wire front, ami a canvas screen, which may be opened or closed at will. The roostevifi*tt be all removable, and so sbmiiditJie dropping board and nests.

Many may ask why go to the shop and perhaps waste ten or twenty minutes for one's turn and then pay ten or fifteen cents, and perhaps a tip, for a something one may have at home at comparatively no expense of money or time? The explanation is easy, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. At the shop men wait in the habit of years, for a particular chair, and while waiting discuss the latest news of gossip. There Is restfulness In the waiting. Then come the luxury of the chair at a selected angle, the kindly glance and nod from tho favorite barber, the soothing Admixture of comment upon the weather and events with the lather and the dextrous application of the keen edge, to the end of a "close shave;" then the hot towel and possibly the massage Yes, this Is a habit of luxury, but one justified by the ages, from as far back as the days of the prophet Exekiel down through the centuries in which "The Arabian Nights" celebrated the function to the times of Edward IV. of England, who ID 1461 incorporated the Company of Barber-Surgeons; to the days when author, poet and musical composer recognised the humorous features of the trade that once was a profession in that It united with It that of the chjrurgeon. The habit of the barber chair Is as old as some of the hills. Iff LEGUME AND ITS WORK AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT A N D A SPECIAL SESSION ARE DISCUS8ED. FEATURES OF T H E WORK UNDER CONSIDERATION BY T H E L A W MAKERS. The Primary School Fund Subject of Constitutional Amendment If Bill Passes the Senate. The statistics relating to typhoid vaccination, in the army, are both Interesting and encouraging. About onesixth of the United States army was inoculated with the typhoid vaccine, and the returns show that only one person In 4,000 had the disease and none of them died, while in the unvaccinated part of the army, one out of 250 had the disease and there were many deaths. These figures are certainly •very significant, and indicate that typhoid fever is going the way of smallpox, not again to become a real scourge to the country, says the Ohio State Journal. There will be, however, some serious speculation about this, as so much inoculation and vaccination as the various maladies will require, that men will undergo considerable change In their general makeup. If a man incorporates into his vital processes the •various prophylactics intended to ward off disease, he will become a compound of resisting mediums and occupy s o unnatural an attitude as to Invite other troubles, for there seems to be plenty of them waiting to avail themselves of every opportunity. A legislator in Missouri who was a friend both of Hoxsey and Johnstone lias introduced a bill, inspired by the tragedy of their deaths, making it an offense under the head of "attempted suicide" for an aviator to ascend higher than 1,000 feet, and requiring a bond of $10,000 for birdmen, as a guarantee that they will not violate the law. A penalty of five years in prison is provided. But It Is little likely such a bill can pass, however much lovers of the sanctity of human life may desire It, says the Baltimore American. Experiment la always accompanied with recklessness, and while aviation is in its experimental stage, no amount of threatened punishment will deter experimenters from using their own lives as they see fit in It* service. By L. C. Ward. Special Session Likely. The number of bills introduced in the two houses of the legislature number €C5 and the number which have reached the governor for signature is just two. All of which shows how fast the legislature is moving Gov. Osborn is Btill crying for a special tax commission to investigate and report at once and he has frankly told members that if they will pass the bill be will call a special session to receive the report. This would cost the state the neat additional Bum of $13,500. There Is alsp a necessity for a special session if congress passes a reapportionment bill. Primary Fund Question to Be Submitted. The constitutional amendment for doing away with school districts piling up money which they cannot use will undoubtedly be submitted to the people at the April election. The McNauphton bill has already passed the House and is on its way through the Senate with every prospect of its going through with a hurrah. It provides that no school district shall have on hand more than enough to pay teachers' salaries for two years In advance. I'nder the present law some of the districts havejwoney on hand to pay the teachefV salaries for 22 years ahead. "Under the new provision when a district has enough ahead to pay for two years it is automatically cut off and the money distributed among the districts which need it. Russell Defends Department. Land Commissioner Huntley Russell defends the land department which Gov. Osborn wishes to abolish. "Thy |4iJVt?rn0i* hasn't looked Into the matter very closely." he says. "i>ast month we did a business of $154,000 in disposing of state lands and the business last year amounted to $265, 000. The expenses were about $:io,- 000, which showed a neat sum turned over to the state. In fact, the_department turns in more money than any other state department. It may be possible to <lo away with the land department, but I've got to be shown where the business could be handled better or more cheaply." Initiative, Referendum and Recall In. The legislature will wrestle with the intiative. referendum and recall after all. Despite the declaration of the governor for these "reforms" it appeared for a while'as though they I would not come before the legislature because no one showed a disposition to introduce them. But this week Rep. AVoodworth of Huron and Rep. Dunn of Sanilac Introduced the bills for the constitutional amendments. They were referred to the committee and will be fought out in the House, although there is no possibility of their passing the Senate. Once more the "didn't know it was loaded" joke has had a deadly result. A young man in New York city picked vp a revolver which be says he thought was empty and playfully snapped the weapon at his friend and roommate, and the latter was killed instantly. The frenzied youth ran out of the house and surrendered to a policeman, and is now locked up on a charge of homicide, says the Troy Times. Probably no one believes him guilty of any Intentional crime. But even though acquitted of such a purpose, what a lifetime of self-reproach lies before jhim in consequence of that hasty and til-advised bit of humor!

Now that all of the hearings are out of the way the legislature is getting down'to business on the workingmen's compensation bills and a measure framed by the joint Judiciary committee of both houses will probably be reported out within a few days. It will be based on the Moriarty-.Iames bill, which has already been commented on extensively. It provides for the payment of a weekly stipend not to evceed $4,000 in all for total disability or death with a graduated sum for partial disability. The law applies to hazardous employments only and specifies *• r* Early Adjournment. Unofficial polls of the bouse indi cate that Senator Carl E. Mace's reso lutkra for adjournment May 2 and discontinuance of business April 19. will be adopted*. Speaker ,3aktr Is in favor of early adjournment. His friends are with him, and it is the general opinion aparently that if Anal adjournment is fixed, the house will conduct its business in a manner calculated to clear the decks of necessary legislation before adjournment day arrives. This means, as Speaker Haker |K)ints out, that there will be a special session to arrange the congressional reapportionment. The speaker estimated this will be called in November or December, or perhaps even a little later in order to fix the districts in time to permit the congressional candidates plenty of time to get acquainted in their changed districts. A Surgery Law. Representative Odell's bill providing for the operations knowja as vasectomy or cophlrectomy in order to prevent procreation on the part of criminal insane persons and persons of feeble mind, was passed by the house and given immediate effect. The discussion involved technical discourses and it was necessary to exc i s e the tfQ£r__n>es8enger8 and women spectators on the floor and In the galleries. Some of the feminine audience hesitated to leave even when the suggestion was made from the floor. Representative Rankin launched into his discussion, quoting authorities and talking very plainly and the women left. Similar laws have been enacted in other states and have been found to be of vast benefit in improving the moral tone of the mentally deficient who were made subjects of the operation. Fighting Demurrage. Representative Noble Ashley's reciprocal demurrage bill is the latest piece of proposed railroad legislation which has been dissected and vigorously lambasted by railroad officials. The officers of the roads foregathered again in the senate chamber Tuesday night, and entertained the house and senate railroad committees for a few hours, with explanations of the absolute worthlessness of the railroad bills introduced. The railroad men contended that the problems which Ashley's bill deal with are covered by the interstate commerce commission, and would legally affect only about 10 per cent of Michigan's roads. They explained that the railroads now have hundreds of box cars on hand which are used only during certain rush seasons, but even with this number of extra cars, they aectaiBd. Uiey Would be unable" to comply with the provisions of Ashley's bill. Quail Shooting. Senator Carl E. Mapes has introduced a bill repealing the law prohibiting the shooting of quail .until 1914 and enacting a law providing for an open season on quail from October 15 to November 30 of each year. This is the bill that has the backing of practically every sporting association in Michigan. One of the greatest objections set forth by the sporting interests of the state to the work of the last legislature was that it passed the five-year prohibition on quail shooting. Tonnage Tax Is Dead. The tonnage tax is dead, despite the fact that it passed the .House. The taxation committee of the Senate pa'ssed a motion to indefinitely postpone action on the bill and it \ will slumber quietly to the end of the session in the committee pigeon holes unless an effort is made to take It away from the noraraittee. This motion is not likely to be made and even if it Is there is no possibility of securing the necessary 17 votes. Military Bill is Ready. The bill reorganizing the state military department, which has been having a stormy time in the various committees, is about ready for being reported out. It provides for the re organization of the department to put it on a regular war footing all of the time, does away with the present general staff and reduces generally the red tape and the expense of the militia. the kind of employment. W i l l Investigate Pair. The resolution of Senator Scott for an investigation of the state fair was passed by the house. It provides for a joint committee of eight, five from the bouse and three from the senate to make the investigation. While the committee has not been announced it will probably consist of Senators Scott, Watkins and Fowle and Reps. Warner* Odell and-Copley with two other members yet to he selected. The committee will examine into how the fair has been conducted In the past and report whether they believe the state should take over the institution. Morford Has Troublet. Rep. Morford has troubles. He was away on a leave of absence when the tonnage tax bill was voted on hut pthrough a mistake a Detroit paper got him. In the list of the nays. He is now keeping one stenographer writing to his grange constituents explaining that it wasn't so and that if he had been present he would have voted for the bill. To Support Convicts1 Families. The house has passed the Jerome bill which provides for the partial support of convicts' families during the time the head of the family is con* | fined in prison. It provides that $10,- ooo shaW be appropriated annually for this purpose. Gov. Oabont has sent seat little letters of thanks to all of the representatives and senators who voted for him for president in a recent poll of the legislature made by a Detroit newspaper. He received six votes. Rep. Olasner has an idea for fixing up the bills providing for a state Are marshal in order to make his., work more effective and less expensive. He plans to place the work under the labor department atjd to have the factory inspectors and deputy labor com* missiooers make the investigations; necessary for the successful working of the department Teach Agriculture In High Schools. Rep. Dunn has introduced the administration bill for the teaching of agriculture, Industrial and trade courses in all of the high schools in the Btate. If this measure passes it will help to solve the question of the disposition of the primary money as it, will provide for the imployment of new teachers in the high schools of the state. Bar the Insects. Representative Sam O'Dell has in-, traduced a bill to make it a crime for any person to bring Into the state any. insect or tree disease which will hurt fruit trees. The bill has ths backing of tho fruit growers of the state. If amber Sworn In. Rep. David A. Fltagtbboni, newly elected from Port Huron to- succeed the late Rep. C. M. Green, took his seat in the House this week. He is a little fellow, but comes with a high reputation as a lawyer. Rep.

Krag and a number of machinists were overhauling the engines of the steam-! ers Huronic and Ionic, which are laid up at the Northern Navigation com-' pany's docks at Sarnia, and King went, aboard the Ionic. That was the last seen of him alive. It was thought that he went ashore during the day, but when his family reported that he had not come home, an Investigation was started. Captain Ironsides final" ly concluded that King had fallen into( the bold of the boat, and found 4he body of the engineer under an open hatch, his skull having been crushed. Port Huron.—Mrs. Maldwin Drummond of Chicago, accompanied by Mrs. L. C. Huck, also of Chl-i cago, were in Port Huron, and! while In the city they had an experi-i ence similar to the one on the ocean liner, when they lost more than $100,-; 000 worth of Jewels. In Port HuronJ the setting of a $1,000 ruby ring was lost in the Harrington hotel, Just Before dinner, and was found by the hotel management the next morning. The setting was sent on to Chicago. Corunna.—Mrs. Sophronla Summers, sixty-five years old and wife of the janitor of the school at Perry, has started suit for $10,000 damages against the Grand Trunk; Railway company. She alleges that, returning to Perry at night, she feH~f down an embankment from a walk; leadtng from the depot and sustained: permanent injuries. She alleges neg-* lect on the part of the defendants infailing to provide a railing or ights. Bessemer.—The Evelin and Osi teroid mines have both been! closed down for an indefinite time on, orders from headquarters at Cleve-j land. The men have all been paid off. The miners at these mines were on strike since the first of the month against the demand that they should sign an agreement relinquishing any claim for damages for accident or death beyond the stipulated "club'' mopey—being seven dollars per week, if injured and incapable to work and' $500 on death. There are 350 men out. —Kalnmaxoo.—-Battle Crook la going WARDEN SIMPSON'S PLAN. Work &9 Many Hours -Each Day for Inmates of Jadksori^prison. * To ^sTatllish a definite number of hours as a day's work tot; the inmates of Jackson prison Is-the latest reform Krag, chief.)-Proposed by Warden Simpson, any it • is • expected he win Inaugurate the change in the near future. The warden believe* the tfamates have too much time on their ha.nds to hatch up Insurrection and plB^i insubordina* tion. Under the present system each convict in the various shops is given a certain amount of work to accomplish) and when it is finished he is at liberty to work or not, just as he pleases. If he chooses to work he receives overtime pay, but if he doesn't work he may loaf about the 6hop. The warden will now make every effort to ascertain the average length of time it takes an inmate to finish his usual stint, and when thia is determined he will make a reasonable addition of time in which an inmate may work on his own overtime. The warden is doing his best to make the Justice of the change apparent to the inmates, so they will have no cause for complaint. The plan at present is to have the convicts work between bells rung at intervals of perhaps seven hours, althoiigh the same number of hours will not prevail in all shops, as it is believed that in some cases old men should not be made to work as long as, young men. The drouth In China grows more serious. Little land except along the streams is being cultivated. N E W L I N E IN C E N T R A L OREGON W i l l Open Up 5,000,000 Acres Government Lands. ___ of Portland, Ore.—The long-heralded invasion of central Oregon by the Hill lines will become a reality on March l, when passengers and freight service will be inaugurated between Clarke, Wash., on the north side of the Columbia river, and Madras, Ore., 115 miles up the Deschutes valley. The new line will open a fertile and tindevelbped territory which heretofore has been difficult of access for lack of transportation facilities. Settlers have been going in by team for the past few months in great numbers and filing on the free homestead lands. There are 5,000,000 acres of government land that will be made immediately accessible. THE MARKETS The chief did so and next week's reunion will be the result.

"Precisely," replied the doctor with a smile "the psychologist can tell with almost' mathematical accuracy just how your mental mechanism Is working. I admit it sounds uncanny, but i t can be proved. In fact, it has been proved, time and time, again." Alicia came up and took the doctor's arm. "Oh, Dr. Bernstein," she protested, ""JLcan't allow the judge to monopolize you in this way.

It was, indeed, a small city in itself. It was not necessary for its fortunate tenants to leave it unless they were so minded. Everything for their comfort and pleasure was to be had without taking the trouble to go out of doors. On the giotiud floor were shops of all kinds, which catered only to the Astruria's patrons. There were also on the premises a bank, a broker's office, a hairdresser, and a postal telegraph office. A special feature was the.garden court, containing over H0,- 000 square feet of open space, and tastefully laid out with palms and flowers. Here fountains splashed and an orchestra played while the patrons lounged on comfortable rattan chairs or gossiped with their friends. Up on the sixteenth floor was the cool roof garden, an exquisite bower of palms . and roses artificially ; to the class which paid social visits to tenants In. the Astruria. He was rather seedy looking, his collar was not immaculate, his boots were thick and clumsy, his clothes cheap and illfitting. "Is Mr. Underwood in?" he demanded. He wondered if Alicia would Ignore his letter or if she would come to him. Surely she could not be so heartless as to throw him over at suph a moment. Crushed in his left hand was a copy of the New York Herald containing an elaborate account of the brilliant reception and musicale given the previous evening at her home. With an exclamation ol impatience he rose from his seat, threw the paper from him, and began to pace the floor. Was this the end ol everything? Had he reached the end of his rope? He must pay the reckoning, if not toj day, to-morrow. As his eyes waut tiered around the room and he took mental inventory of each costly obi jeet, he experienced a sudden shock I as he recalled the things that were I missing. How could he explain their j absence? The art dealers were al- [ready suspicious.

"Got an appointment! Why didn't you say so at once?" Reaching lazily over the telephone switchboard, and without rising lrum his seat, he asked surlily: _ "What's 'the name?'' "Mr. Bennington." The boy touk the transmitter and laughed the judge. "I see enough crazy people in the law courts." Dr. Bernstein smiled and followed his hostess. Judge Brewster turned t o chat with the banker. From the distant music room came the sound of a piano and a beautiful soprano, voice. The rooms were now crowded and newcomers were arriving each minute. Servants passed In and out serving iced delicacies and champagne. ... Suddenly the butler entered the salon and, quietly approaching Alicia, handed her a letter. In a low tone be said: -- -This letter has just come, m'm. The messenger said it was very important and I should deliver it at once." Alicia turned pale, She instantly recognized the handwriting. It was from Robert Underwood. Was not her last message enough? How dare he address her again and at such a time? Retiring to an inner room, she tore open the envelope and read as follows: Dear Mrs. Jeffries: This' is the lasttime I shall ever bore you with my letters. You have forbidden me to see you again, Practically you have" sentenced me to a living death, but as I prefer death shall not be «partla£ but full and complete oblivion, I take this means of letting you itnow that unless you revoke your, -cruel sentence of banishment, I shall make an end of it all. I shall be found "dead, Monday morning, and you will know who is responsible. Yours devotedly, ROBBRT UNDERWOOD. An angry exclamation escaped Alicia's lips, and crushing the note up In her hand, she bit her lips till the blood came. ^ It was just as she feared. The man was desperate. He was not to be got rid of so -easily. How dare •he—how dare he?, The coward—to think that she could be frightened by such-a threat. Wnat did she care if h e killed himself? It would be good riddance. Yet suppose he was in earnest, suppose he did carry out his threat? There would be a terrible scandal,'. an investigation, people would talk, her name would be mentioned. No—no—that must be prevented a t all costs. Distracted, not knowing what course to pursue, t h e paced the floor of the roem. Through the closed door she could hear the music and t h e chatter' of her gue*ltl7 famous French artist, with its recherche restaurant, its^^p.icturesque tziganes, and its super&^view of all Manhattan island. *" ""* The Astruria was the last word* in expensive apartment hotel building. Architects declared that it was as far as modern lavishness and extravagance could go. Its interior arrangements were in keeping with its external splendor. Its apartments were of noble dimensions, richly decorated, and equipped with every device, new and old, that modern science and builders' ingenuity could suggest. That the rents were on a scale with the "A party called to see Mr, Underwood." ' There w a s ' a brief pause, us it' the person upstairs was in doiibi wheth°r j to admit that he was home or not.! Then came the answer. The boy; looked up. ' "He says you should go up. Apartment 165. Take the elevator." I In his luxurious appointed rooms on the fourteenth floor, Robert Underwood sat before the fire puffing nervously at a strong cigar. All around him was a litter of objets d'art, such as would have filled the heart of any ) thinfj had gone against him of late, f The dealers would begin criminal proceedings, disgrace and prison stripes would follow. There was no way out 1 of it. He had no one to whom he ' could tuin in this crisis. And now t-ven Alicia had deserted lilm. This was the last straw. While ' he was still able to boa*t of the friendship and( patronage of the aris- 'iocratic Mrs. Howard Jeffries he ; could still hold his head hiqh in the world. No one would dare, questton , his integrity, but now she had aban- ^ 'jomd him to his fate, people \voujdbe- ' gin to talk. There was no use kivp- - in;!; in) a hopeless light—suicide was the only way out! I He stopped in front of a mirror, startled at what ho saw there. It was the face of a man not yet 30, but apparently much older. The features were drawn and haggard, and his dark hair was plentifully streaked with gray, lie looked like a man who had lived two lives in one. To-night, his face frightened him. His eyes had a fixed stared like those of a man he had once seen in a madhouse. He wondered if^men looked like that when they were about to be executed, Was not his own hour close at hand? He wondered why the clock was so-noisy; it seemed to him that the ticks were louder than usual, He started suddenly and looked around fearfully. He .Turn ont "Yes, I Must See *Jlm_at Once." gitfH rood She must gd~fc~see Underwood a t once, that w a s certain, and her visit must b e a secret one.

Only long purses could stand the strain. It was a favorite headquarters for Westerners who had "struck it rich," wealthy bachelors, and successful actors and opera singers who loved the limelight on and off the stage. Sunday evening was usually exceedingly quiet at the Astruria. Most of the tenants were out of town over the jpeek-end. and as. the restaurant and roof garden, were only slimly patron* ized, the elevators ran less frequently, making less chatter and bustle in corridors and stairways. Stillness reigned everywhere as If the sobering Influ-' efice of t h e Sabbath tied invaded even this exclusive domain of the unholy rich. The uniformed attendants, having nothing ; to do, yawned lazily in the deserted balls. Some \sven induJgedt An; surreptitious p a p s ; in corners, confident that they would not be disturbed.

On a grand piano in a corner of the room sfood two tall cloisonne vases of almost inestimable value. On a desk close by were piled miniatures - a n d rare ivories. The walls were covered with tapestries, armor, and trophies of arms. More like a museum than a sitting- room, it was the home of a man who made a business of a r t or made of a r t a business, - - ~'- Underwood stared/ moodily at the glowing logs in the open chimneyplace. His flee was pale a n d determined. After coming i n from the restaurant he h a d changed h i * , t a x ^ e d * for, the,, mooa, comfortable bouse coat. Nothing called ,Ja>m away that particular Sunday evening, and no one. was likely to disturb him. Ferris, his.man servant, ban"taken his usual Suadajr off and would not return until midnight. The apartment was still as j h f grave. It was. so high above the street that not a sound reached up froa the noisy, Broadway below. , Underwood liked the quiet so that he could think, and h e was thinking.hard thought he had heard a sound outside, He shuddered as lit: glared toward the little drawer on the right-hand side of his desk, in which he knew there was a loaded revolver. If Alicia would only relent escape might yet be possible. \t he did not hear from her it muefbe for to-night. One .slight little-'pressure on the trigger and all would be over. Suddenly the bell of the telephone connecting the apartment with the main hall downstairs rang violently. Interrupted thus abruptly in the midst of his reflections, Underwood jumped forward, startled. His nerves were so unstrung that he was ever apprehensive of danger. With a tremulous hand, be took hold of the receiver and placed it to his ear, As he listened, his already pallid face turned whiter and the lines about his mouth tightened. He hesitated a moment be fore replying. Then, with an effort, he said: "Send him up." Dropping the receiver, he began to walk nervously up and down the room. The crisis had come sooner than bj^xpected—exposure was at hand. 1 ¾ ^ man Bennington was the manager of the firm of dealers whose goods he disposed of. He could not make restitution. Prosecution was inevltable. Disgrace and prison would follow. He could not stand it; he would rather kill himself. Trouble was very close at hand, that was certain. How could he get out of It? Pacing the floor, he bit his lips till the blood came. There was a sharp ring at the front door. Underwood opened it. As he recognized his visitor on -the threshold, he exclaimed: "Why, Bennington, this Is a surprise!" The manager entered awkwardly. He had the constrained air of a man who has come on an unpleasant errand, bnt wants to be a s amiable as the circumstances will permit. "You didn't expect me, did you?" he began. Shutting the front door, Underwood led the way back into the sitting room, and making an effort to control his nerves, said: v "Sit down, won t you ?" MUST BE PERFECTION SALAD NEVER A DISH T H A T CAf^ BE S L I G H T E D . Clear Judgment and Much Care for This Absolutely Indispensable Adjunct of the Modern Dinner Table. Among the luxuries of our bills of fare there is not one that is more appreciated by everyone than a wellmade salad; there is no department of cooking that demands clearer Judgment in making and serving, than this same salad; while all kinds, from the richest to the simplest, depend on the materials selected and the*ir wise combination. All salads should be served very cold and long standing injures them. Therefore make the dressing and place it near the ice in the cooler before proparing the salad proper. When ready to serve, chill the bowl and the individual salad plate if you would have your salad at its best. Bread an;l butter sandwiches or Boston brown bread thinly sliced and delicately spread with fresh but' ter and filled with a shredded lettuce leaf sprinkled with ground nuts may be served with any salad. Hut with lobster, shrimp or fish salad, "brunettes" are the proper captr; they are made from the white bread and butter sandwiches filled with Neufehatel and minced cress. Mutton sandwiches are liked with vegetable ^salads. They are seasoned with herbs, as mint, pepper grass, celery, salt, curry and minced--pickles. For potato salad prepare cheese straws, or spread .graham bread with a mixture of snappy cheese and the hard boiled yolk of eggs and seasoning. The home-made cheese straws are far better than the made ones, that are sold in cartons, ami will keep as well; they may by reheated just before using. Miss GJrauel's recipe for cheese straws: These are particularly nice, and, if cut evenly, look dainty. Grate three tablespoonfuls of dry, highly seaboned cheese, to it put one-half pint of sifted flour seasoned with salt and paprika; rub together with a tablespoon of butter and cold water as for pastry roll ou rrte-+hiiJloured baking board and t thin. CuMralf the paste into straws and the rest# into rings. Bake until yellow and crisp in a moderate oven and serve with the straws laid in the rings. Rich and elaborate salads are served as a course "by themselves, but when a salad is to accompany a meat course, it should be simple in character and served on Individual salad plates. Very often the salad is placed on such plates and the dressing passed with it on a separate boat or bowl; this manner has much to commend it. With duck, rich ft^h and water fowl, acid salads are served. These are made with a good allowance of lime, lemon Juice or, Tarragon vinegar. Cheese is passed with all green salads and black coffee and saltlnes go with all accompaniments. Sweet rlrinks, as punch and fruit drinks, are never served with fruit or sweet salad, Yours for uniformity. Yours for greatest l e a v e n i n g power. Yours for never failing results.

Stuffed Cabbage. Choose a firm, solid white cabbage, remove the outer leaves, and with a very sharp knife remove entirely the heart. Put it into xold wafer and let it slowly come to the boiling point and scald ten minutes, Remove onto a kitchen platter, and when the first heat passes off place a green pepper stuffed with a little highly seasoned force meat, carefnly raise some of the leaves, and put some of the force meat between them. Add a dash of pepper and salt and cover with a cheesecloth binder. Place- it now in a stewpan with a bunch of sweet herbs, a clove, a pint of stock and water enough "to cover it. When slowly boiled until very tender, but not all to pieces, drain carefully. Strain and thicken as much of the gravy as will be needed, pour over the cabbage and serve garnished with parsley and beet roses. Prof. Stork—And how are we getling on with our studies, Ernestine?

But some of the methods they propose to employ will arouse the special wonder even of an age which Is accustomed to remarkable developments. The military Inspector of the district in question has issued an order In which is set forth "the hypnotic influence of music, as employed by wizards and witches," and It is remarked that this should not be ignored. In fact, tho methods by which rat-catchers can lure their prey from the hiding places are specified, and the order, toncludes with the assumption that "It Is very possible that among the soldiers of the Caucasian military district there are such wizards/' If there is a pled piper in the Russian army he may now proceed to get busy.

To this tribune are delegated powers which, It is believed, will obviate all employment of the circuitous routes of all former negotiations which have been > conducted by way of Downing street/ and will make possible a directness of communication and conference which, with the obvious community of interest between the Dominion and the United States, will doubtless forstaW eerfoae ^ s a g r e e m e n i a .

Carter, former senator from Montana, and member of the committee on foreign relations; James A. Tawney, former chairman of the house committee on appropriations, and long one of the leaders of the house of representatives, and Frank S. Streeter, a leading member of the New Hampshire bar. The joint commission, popularly referred to c\s "the boundary waters commission," has far broader and more important duties than the terms wouVl imply. It is created primarily to d< .1 with the control and utilization of the boundary waters, and will exercise both judicial and legislative functions with respect to all questions pertaining thprAtxv-fchlft-vl&w of the majority to be final.

The stoning of Diaz's palace came so suddenly that the. police utterly unprepared for the demonstration were unable to disperse the mob before much glass had been shattered and the guests of the president who were In the palace at the time, had been badly frightened.

My sister used the Cuticura Pills for purifying the blood, bathed only with Cuticura Soap, and at night after washing, she anointed her eyes, very gently on the outside with the Cuticura Ointment.

He tries to get^work and falls. A former college chum makes a business proposition to Howard which requires $2,000 cash, and Howard is broke. Robert Underwood, who had been repulsed by Howard's wife, Annie, in his college days, and had once been engaged to Alicia, Howard's stepmother, has apartments at the Astruria, and is apparently in prosperous circumstances, Howard recalls a |250 loan to Underwood, that remains unpaid, and decides to ask him for the I2.C0O he needs. Underwood, taking advantage of his intimacy With Mrs. Jeffries, Si., becomes a sort of soclaU highwayman. Discovering his true character she denies, him the house, Alicia receives a note from Underwood, threatening pulclde. She decides to go and see him. He is in desperate financial straits. CHAPTER V.—Continued. Underwood laughed nervously. Affecting to misinterpret the other's meaning, he said: "Yes., you're right. The art and antique business Is a delicate business. God knows it's a precarious one!" .Beaching for the decanter, he added: >' "Have a drink." .; But Mr. Bennington refused to unjK- jbehd. The proffer of refreshment did S^'foot tempt him to swerve from the object of his mission. While Underwood <*ras talking, trying to gain time, his •jpyes were taking in the contents of e apartment. * "Cottie, take a drink," urged Underwood again. " •' "No, thanks," replied Mr. Bennington curtly. Suddenly he turned square around. "Let's get down to business, Mr. Unerwobd," he exclaimed; "My firm inlists 6¾ die Immediate, return of their >ropecty."

"The warning may give you time A former cwHege^cnum^miftiejs-feither to raise the money or to get the things back." Underwood's dark eyes flashed with suppressed wrath, as h r r,etorted: "Of course, I can get them all back in time. Damn it, you fellows don't know what It costs to run this kind of business successfully! One has to spend a small fortune to keep up appearances. These society people won't buy if they think you really need the money. I've had to give expensive dinners and spend money like water even to get them to come here and look at the things. You must give me time to make^ settlement. I need at least a month." Bennington shook his head. There was a hard, uncompromising look in his face as he replied caustically: "They're coming for the things tomorrow. I thought it fair to let you know. I can do no more." Underwood stopped short. "To-morrow," he echoed faintly. "Yes," said Bennington grimly. "You might as well understand the situation thoroughlyjyjhe game's up. The firm has been wa\c~&)rfg y o u *°r some time. When you tried to sell these things tc old Defries for one-quarter their real value he instantly recognized where they came from. He telephoned straight to our place, You've been shadowed by detectives ever since, There's a man outside watching this place now." "My God!" exclaimed Underwood. "Why are they hounding me like this?" Approaching Bennington quickly, he grasped his hand. "Bennington," he said "earnestly; I "you and I've always been on the square. Can't you tell them, it's all right? Can't you get them to give me time?" ,r Before the manager could reply the telephone bell rang sharply. Underwood. started. An expression of fear out of her carefully hoarded savings When he sobered up he would realize that he had acted like a coward and a cur, but just now he was feeling rather jolly. Addressing Under- XwQOJl_wltliAimpud«nt famiiiarityT he went on: .~^"N "The d—d boy didn't seem to know if you were in or not, so I came up anyhow." Glancing at Bennington, he added: "Sorry, If I'm butting in." Underwood was not in the humor to be very gracious. Long ago young Howard Jeffries had outgrown his usefulness as far as he was concerned. He was at a loss to guess why he had come to see him uninvited, on this particular Sunday night, too. It was with studied coldness, therefore, that ;be said: --. "Sit down—I'm glad to see you." "You don't look It^ grinned Howard, as-he advanced further Into the room with shambling, uncertain step& Concealing his ill humor and promising himself to get rid of his unwelcome visitor at the first^oppoftunlty^. Underwood introduced the two men. "Mr. Bennington—Mr. Howard Jeffries, Jr." Mr. Bennington had heard of the older Jeffries' trouble with his scapegrace son, and he eyed, with some interest, this young man who had made such a fiasco of his career. "Oh, I know Bennington," exclaimed Howard jovially. "I bought an elephant's tusk at his place in the days when I was somebody," With mock sadness he added, "I'm nobody now —couldn't even buy a collar button." "Won't you sit down and stay awhile?" said Underwood sarcastically. "If you don't mind, I'll have a drink first," replied Howard, making his way to the desk and taking up the whisky decanter. , Underwood did not conceal his annoyance, but his angry glances were entirely lost on his new visitor, who was rapidly getting into a maudlin condition. Addressing Bennington with familiarity, Howard went on; "Say, do you remember that wonderful set of lvopy-43hessmen my old man bought?" j Bennington smiled and nodded. "Yes, sir; I do, indeed. Ah, your father is a fine art critic!" Howard burst into boisterous laughter. -., . . "Art critic!" he exclaimed. "1 should say he was. He's a born critic, He can criticise any old thing —every old thing. I don't care what it is, he can criticise it. 'When in doubt —criticise,' is nailed on* father's "e*r cutcheon." Bowing with mock courtesy to each he raised the glass to his lips and said: "Here's how! Underwood impatiently interrupted him. "It's Impossible, Jeffries. Things are a little hard with me, too, just now. You'll have to wait for that $250." Howard grinned. " 'Taint the $250, old man, I didn't want that. I want a couple of thousand." Underwood could not help laughing. "A couple of thousand? Why not make it a million?" Howard's demand struck him as being so humorous that, he sat down convulsed with laughter. Looking at him stupidly, Howard helped himself to another drink. "It seems I'm a hit," he said with a grin. Underwood by this time had recovered his composure. "So you've done nothing since you left college?" he said. ., "No," answj&ned" Howard. "I don't seem to get down to anything. My ideas wdtft-stay in one piace. I got a jf>b as tlnW.VBOTKUj but I didn't k««|l k down a week. I kept the time all right, but it wasn't the right, time." Again raising the glass to his lips, be added: "They're so beastly particular." "You keep pretty good time with that," laughed Underwood, pointing to the whisky. peopl ten?"

"I've got an opportunity to go into business. I want $2,000 and I want it deuced quick." Underwood shrugged his -shoulders. "Why don't you go home and ask your father?" he demanded. His visitor seemed offended at the suggestion. "What!" he exclaimed, with comic surprise, "after being turned out like a dog with a young wife on my hands! Not much—no. I've injured their pride. , You know father married a second time, loaded me down with a stepmother. She's all right, but she's so confoundedly aristocratic. You know her. Say, didn't you and she— wasn't there some sort of an engagement once? Seems to'me I—" Underwood rose to his feet and abruptly turned his back. "I'd rather you wouldn't get personal,*' he said curtly.

Turning to Underwood, he burst out with *m air of offended dignity: "Underwood, you wouldn't go hick on me now. I'm an outcast, a pariah, a derelict on the ocean of life, as one of my highly respectable uncles wrote me. His grandfather was an iron puddler." With a drunken laugh he went on: "Doesn't it make you sick? I'm no good because I married the girl. If I had ruined her lifo I'd still be a decent member of society."

Generous, charitable, and a mode.l in propriety, was the verdict of all who knew him. "What now?" asked Robbins, fingering his empty notebook. "Cherchez la femme," said Dumars, lighting a cigarette. "Try Lady Bellairs." This piece of femininity was the racetrack favorite of the season. Being feminine, she was erratic in her gaits, and there were a few heavy losers about town who had believed sbe could be true. Tbe reporters applied for information. Mr. Morin? Certainly not.

With tbt history of * * missing money thus partially related, tome conjecture may be formed of tbt sudden idea that Madame Tibault't Words seemed to have suggested to Robbins' brttft.

Robbins removed the covering, and opened his pocketknife. "Saere!" muttered Dumars, shuddering. "It U tht Mother of Christ. What would you do?" "Shut up, Judas!" said Robbins. coldly. "It's too lttt for you to be saved now. With a firm band, he chipped a slice from the thouldtr of the image. The cut showed a dull, greyish metal, with a thing coating of gold leaf.

Yet not even our nearest and dearest will lend us their ears. Do we merely need more art?

And despite the magnificent temple of Tlahuanco, that marvelous and enigmatic structure near Tittcaca, 13,000 feet above sea level, and the splendors of Qorlkancha'b golden courts at Cusco, the Pachacamac temple by the sea wae regarded as more awe inspiring than either of the others. To its oracles all pilgrims flocked. But during the period immediately before the Spanish conquest these three rivaled one another in richness and sanctity. Little is left of the old glories today.

Peru has few merely tourist visitors, and of these fewer still see Pachacamac, the trip from Lima being considered long and hard. But for one accustomed to the saddle (and little of South America can be otherwise seen) Pachacamac is comfortably accessible. The simplest route is by the excellent,electric cars to the pretty suburb Chorillos, beyond MlraflorfB. wjiere horses should have been ordered hi advance to await the traveler. Over roadside walls of mud or adobe brick wild nasturtiums clamber in a riot of color; bare, high hills rise-at one side; the battlefield of San Juan, famous In the Chilean war, and here and there populous haciendas are passed before the open country is reached. A mile or two of Junglelike'swamp follows, rich in interest for lovers of birds and growing things. But beyond this fertile tangle one may canter along the hard sand beach for_ nearly all the remaining miles. Sea birds in such myriads that the sun is actually darkYnrd ,is they fly up at our approach, seven or eight lines of superb Pacific rollers breaking in thunderous surf, a rampart of high sand mountains just back of the beach—and in two or three hours appear the familiar walls and dun-colored remains of Inca occupation. rfjor Pachacamac has been the scene of several" superimposed civilisations, whereby its study is rendered more contusing* than that of othdV ancient shrines. The many graves and their 'contents were seemingly at variance— chronologically inconsistent--with fragments of pottery and implements found near by. But it la certain tliat prc-Inca Indiana had here their chief trmpie, and that when these all-conquering nobles with their hordes of willing workers arrived trtumphantly upon the scene, s o far from fry in* lo .wife, out the old fafch they treated it with i luutttMplpeetk perhaps from prudential mo-, tives, building their great temple to the son on the l-iUj&pTe> but still permitting, even encouraa^^,^ Mp«\ued worship of the creator god, Pael^ ca'mscjjeo" that the temple's religious prestige djo^at fitfleV-feider the- Incas. The San temple seems to have been built to include this earlier sanctuary, whiofa shows an amicable relationship between the older colt and that worship of the sun which the Incas ultimate* If lmpoaedja*, conquered tribes. A beautiful si to these early dwellers chose for their riles.

In old days maize and cott6n were^ extensively cultivated here and In many of the earliest graves seed pods of cotton have been found. It still grows easily in a sod surpassingly rich when irrigated. A nearby hacienda, apparently containing the most extensive of 1:he ancient burial places, is chiefly devoted to the fluffy bolls and brown stalks of this plant. The most scholarly and reliable authority upon Pachacamac history is undoubtedly Dr. Max Uhle, now head of the new National museum at Lima. To him is due elucidation of many puzzling anachronisms in this rich region, and it was our good fortune to be accompanied on this trip by Doctor Uhle—to whom every wall and angle and brick has absolute significance. The name of the creator god, as applied to sanctuary, town and river, came into use only about 170 years before the Spanish conquest. No older name has yet been/found. Burial places always/ bring rich returns to those who can Interpret their annals. Here is an enormous number of graves, not less than 60,000 to 80,000, among them a few stall-like cells, much cruder and earlier than the majority. Graves are found in the open, in houses, in temples, most of which have, years ago, been rifled for the gold, silver and gems supposed to be interred with the dead. Previous t o the Inca conquest probably at least two civilizations met a Pachacamac—the culture of the highlands and the newer customs of the coast After a cemetery had been used for a long time the temple was destroyed; even the sort of civilization itself was changed. A third epoch shows a cultural decline, Inferior but supplanting, despite the general advance of the world at large. The founding and growth of the Inca empire "was one of the last great events of pre-Spanish centuries. Although Pachacanac graves were so rich in Articles from which the story of the past can be read, larger outlines of life and custom may be,traced in the ruins of town and temples.,. Approaching, from the north one sees the con* vent still called by its ancient name, Mamacona ("mothers/' SB applied to the nuns), and a. subject of especial study by Doctor TJhle. In Jhe land of the lijeaif^eettbate women were not uh; common,, and were generally attached to some temple of the sun. The mamacona was secluded on three sides, the front only facing plain and sear with entrance openings. No fewer than 200 of these nuns lived here, and they were obliged to pas's through; the inner and outer sanctuary of Pachacamac to reach the sun tempje. From the convent it is best to pasa on to the former, a huge structure 400 feet long, 180 wide and covering two-thirds of an acre.. Once there were terraces on three sides, each 20 feet high, but the sand hat so blown in and over and,about them that fcaey are .really discernible now upon only one. Its approaches are by fhre.low and narrow "gradea," slightly over t and .six in length; the walls once polyttetune frescoes, rich in color a; andan£, though traces of design stil The top aH the temple it a larg fit* by 1 3 ^ . - 4 was at least once Pizarro disdainfully called it "having speech with the devil," when the old man retired to an adjoining cell. Doctor Uhle has arrived at some teresting and surprising conclusions inaccessibility and extraordinary sanctity of this temple. As mpletely demolished by Hernando Pizar^o^biother of Francisco, so the entire tempie^seems to have been peculiarly the object of early fanati- -^--=^- clsm no less than of treasure hunters, which ttev. 5 ^ 7 ¾ ¾ 8 to spite the raiulesB climate made of it a more com- p»^w«PmtraaitMr rtiss pleto ruin even than others in Peru.

Of the ancient city at least one-quarter was occupied by the temple district and the remainder was divided by cross streetB, 13 and 16 feet wide, with courts and buildings of palatial proportions. In the city are four hills, the walls encircling 'it all completely. On the northwest these barriers were from 11 to 13 feet high and in general 8 feet broad, although this was in placet Increased to 16. Vast crowds must have filled the city at many times, for the wide adobe housetops and walls, which we»e used constantly by pedestrians* are worn perfectly smooth on certain thoroughfares by the constant passing of multitudes. ^ Outside the city walls is widespreading desert, one will (distant only half a mile), not less than 20 feet wide and 475 yards long, still curving around the despoiled riches i t once protected. Of all this great ruined area^.the sun temple itself i t most conspicuous, rising 300 feet above the general level, on a series of terraces; four on the northeast and northwest, five on the southeast The modem history of this most interesting region begins with the. journey of Hernando Pizarro, ordered by his more famous brother in 1533 to capture «the temple treasures of pachacamac. Pizarro had heard of its spleo^ors atuCa^amarca, when the Inca Atahnalpa bad told htm that "ten days away on the road to Cuzco" was a "mosque," chief • sanctuary of a whole people, 'and held m highest reverence by himself and his father,^ Hualtta Capac; and that it contained vast treasure in gold and silver offerings. But Hernando Pizarro traveled only about 16 miles a day, taking 22 days l o cover the 340 miles; whereat the swift Indian runners bore messages of warning in far lest time (one old Indian once ran from La Pas to Tacna, 190 roiled, in three days), and much of the golden treasure was removed or concealed before his arrival. Enough remained, however, for colossal riches. *w Hit conquest was complete on reaching the sanctuary. He at once demolished the shrine of the temple of Pachacamac, and its most sacred -idol, in presence of the whole people assembled, raising a cross upon the debris. Thus began the decline of what wee once to splendid and mo vital a part of the early life. _ After taking Cuzco Francisco Pizarro came In 1534 to Pachacanlac holding wild orgtes in the sacred courts and still further horrifying a people already crushed and outraged. The final straggle came, however, and tbe depopulation of the entire valley began, In the w a n of Manco Inca, who in 1535 grttheTed all the Indians in a futile/ death struggle with Spain.

(By PROP. A. T. W I A N C K E . ) First, I would say, begin corn breeding work upon a small scale. I would emphasize this because you can give a Bmall plat more attention and it is better to make a big improvement in a small lot of corn than a/ small improvement in a large lot A small plat planted with the few very best ears will produce enough to provide a fine quality of seed corn for the general crop the following season. To begin with, you should secure a few good ears of the very best variety for your conditions. If you have not already got it, it may be advisable to conduct a small variety test of those varieties which appear to suit your conditions. In this preliminary work the varieties should be planted crop, you will be many times repaid fcr the extra trouble. , Plant each two ears in alternate rows and detassel all the rows of one of the eafs, to prevent in-brceding, and select seed for next year's plat from the detasseled rows. All breeding should be towards a single-, definite-typo.- In--earry4ng—outtbis we must Keep in mind the size, form and color.of the ear; the form, depth, sb*ape, roughness and hardiness of the kernel; the covering of butts and tips; the time oTsnaturity, etc. The character and size of^the stalk and the root and leaf development, as well as the position and character of the shank, must also be kept in mind. A good, vigorous stalk may make the difference between a good and poor crop, especially when seasons are unfavorable. Productiveness must, of course, always be a leading. interest and all barren and weak stalks should be destroyed before they shed pollen. The careful corn breeder should be personally acquainted with each and every stalk in the breeding plat and a record of the pedigrees of each so* lected for seed in the breeding plat should be kept.

Uncle Hiram Warns His Nephew Not to Mistake &«If-Esteem for Self- Belief—Homely Men Think Themselves Handsome. "Stevey, my boy," Bald Uncle Hiram to his hopeful young nephew, "there's a terrible difference between vanity and self-belief. "I've known plenty of men who w«re fairly saturated, soaking with vanity, but who didn't have real courage enough to scare away a cat. They thought they were the handsomest men alive; but there were plenty of homely men that they'd let walk right over them. They had no end of vanity, but no real self-belief. "As matter of fact, Stephen, I think you are about as homely a young chap as I know, but it doesn't follow from that that you're rugged. And as far as that goes I never yet knew a homely,.,,.man, ,but what thought he was handsome; and that thought does a man no harm unless he lets his vanity satisfy him so that he's content to rest on that without further effort. "Our vanity is a soothing balm for many wounds; it helps us much to bear life's buffettngs. When somebody treats us rudely we say to ourselves we know what he is and we k s e w what we "are, ah^"humpn: ana there are two ventilators in it. The studding is 2x6 inches and 10 feet long, making 10 feet from floor to square. There are two rows of uprights from the floor to the rafters, the uprights being 2 feet apart and the rows 4 feet apart; each'row is 6 feet from the___outside wall. Make floors of wire cribbing every foot from the floor to the square between the studding and corresponding rows of uprights, ueing 2x4s on which to lay the wire , cribbing/ These 2x4 supports are 2 feet apart in each floor The floors are 1 foot apart.

Keep them open in fair weather. Place Benches of corn on each ftbor^ There wuT be 11 floors to each side of the seed house. Guard Ageinst Stink Bug. The squash stink bug must be guarded against on squashes as well as other cucurbits. Remove and destroy tbe leaves containing the shining brown eggs. The Insects may also be trapped and killed under boards early in tbe spring and the young insects may be destroyed with kerosene emulsion. Tile From Cement. A machine has been-invented which will make tile from cement. The machines are small enough to be used by individual farmers, and the cost is small. Two garden crope a almost doable profits, " - - Amber cane and kaffir corn sjood crops for rough, forage For cheap roughage there is prob> abiy ne hatter crop the* the millets. Cora easily heads the list aa tbe beat single grain for fattening lambs. It is perfectly feasible to apply rock phosphate to ground, recently ma* nured. - Straw may be only a small item on the farm, but still It should not be wasted.

"And there are millions and millions of people, Stevey, who never get anywhere in the world because they haven't got'it in 'em, but who still are vain; people who never get a chance, and who wouldn't try if the*y did get one, because they are too timid, but who still are filled with vanity, vanity that Is to them a blessing, for it is all they have or ever will have; and these may be, you understand, good, hard working people, good people; the only solace they have is their own harmless vanity. But it is a great solace; It makes life easier for them and it makes them hopeful, theerfur: "Sometimes when I think of It I think our vanity is our greatest blesB' lng, and I am not sure now but what it is so. Good thing -to remember, Stephen, that all mep./all men, are vain. Every man, whatever his lot in life, high or low, la vain and easily wounded. Never wound anybody, --Stephen- "So I have no objection to your being vain, Stephen. You may think you are handsome if you want to or you may admire your own clothes or your neckties; you may think you're the finest fellow on earth; but don't mistake your vanity for self-belief. Above all things you want really to believe In yourself, and this belief must be not a mere fancy. It must be a true, rugged, 100 per cent plus belief, something very different from vanity; it must be a real belief that Inspires you to do things and that sustains and fortifies you; that invigorates and constantly strengthens you In whatever you undertake. "And you must do things. You can't be content to sit down and admire yourself. You must butt into things and buck 'em, and if you're thrown on one side advance on the other, growing bigger and stronger all the time with the exercise of your strength grown invincible; Anally In your blood, tissue and bone belief In in yourself. "That's what you want, Stevey, whole hearted, thorough, complete, 100 per cent plus belief in yourself; with that you'll get on in the world and have a little time left over to indulge in harmless vanity." ^ ¾ From the Swiss Census. The census of Switzerland, which was taken on December 1 last, furnishes interesting Information on many subjects. Thus on the question of the languages which are spoken in the republic, German beads tbe list with 2,699,149 persons speaking ft; French comes neat with 794,220; Italian, with 301,31«, and Romaache, with 30,912. All languages are "official" and may by deputies in the Swiss the western frontier Freneb iigraj while Italian Is gainhig over German in parts of the Canton dally at Briag. There are 665,02a strangers in land, of whom at least 23,000, as far as can be Judged, live in hotels the greater part of the year. In the census of 1900 the number of strangers wee 3S3,- 424.

A dog's striking attachment to his master is recorded f»*om Villeneuve- Saint-Georges. While attending the funeral of a municipal councillor's wife M. Constantln, a resident of that village, contracted congestion of the lungs, from which he died suddenly. He had a dog, a small fox terrier, which never left him. Since the death of M. ConBtantin the poor animal refused food and passed whole days at the cemetery moaning on the tomb of his dead master. .Yesterday the terrier was found dead.—le Figaro.

Pax tine Toilet Antiseptic is both a preventative and a cure for sore throat because it possesses extraordinary cleansing, healing and germicidal qualities. Just a little in a glass of water, used as a gargle, will quickly relieve all soreness and strengthen the mucous membrane of the throat, and thus overcome all tendency to sore throat. ,» Paxtine is far superior to liquid antiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and hygienic uses.
