THE LEGISLATURE ITS T H E LEGISLATURE HAS DEFINITELY DECIDED TO ADJOURN ON APRIL 19. LEGISLATION IS BEING RUSHED THROUGH AT TREMENDOUS SPEED IN AN EFFORT TO ACCOMPLISH SOMET H I N G . Representative Fitzgibbons' Long Expected Unit Bill Promises a Merry Fight Between "Wet" "Dry" Force*. and The cided By L. C. Ward. To Adjourn on April 19. legislature has definitely deto adjourn on April 19, the house having passed the senate concurrent resolution fixing that date. The resolution occasioned considerable of a battle in the house as a number of the members objected to it on the ground that practically no important legislation had been passed and that fixing the date of adjournment now meant that many important matters would have to be neglected. House Now Working Feverishly. As a result of the fixing of the date of adjournment the house has at last got down to business and is really accomplishing something, although at the same time proper attention is now being given to many bills of importance. Legislation is being rushed through at tremendous speed and -flaw* in bills Jirc being ignorod In-theanxiety of the members to accomplish something before the legislature adjourns.

The long anticipated unit bill, which changes the unit of the submission of the local option question from counties to townships, villages and citleB, has been introduced in the house by Representative Fitzgibbons, of Port Huron, and there promises to be a merry fight over it as the Anti-saloon league is strongly against the measuse. Many drys Hre for it, however, as the bill would enable townships and villages In counties which have big cities to vote dry where they are now kept wet by the big1 city. Under the same reasoning it would enable cities which have expressed a desire to remain wet to do so instead of being vuied dry by the county outside of the city. The Anti-saloon league is against the bill because it would practically do away with tire collecting of money in large sums to fight for prohibition. However, wherever the sentiment, of a community was really dry the proposed law would work out well and where such a sentiment exists it la also easy to stop the sale of liquor, something that cannot be done where the sentiment is really wet as Is the case in a number of cities which were voted dry by the country votes. Tonnage Tax Dead Again. The tonnage tax was buried again in the Senate this week. After apparently having passed away it was revived by the pressure voX the grange irxt the taxation xTJiftrnm** of the •Senate reported ft out with the recommendation that it not pass. Senator Moriarty then moved that all consideration of the measure be indefinitely postponed and this carried by a vote el' 19 "to 13. The Democrats ull voted against thia motion aB they wished to pass the bill and put it up to the governor for signature in the hopes of making political capitaj out' nt the situation. They figured that' if Gov. Osborn signed the measure that he would lose all chance of eupnort in the mining regions again and that if he vetoed it that he would lose all his grange following. Some of the Republican Senators were in on the deal at first as they were anxious to embarrass the governor, but when they realized that it was all ammunition for the Democrats they refused to stand with the bill. After Unlicensed Insurance Companies. Insurance Commissioner Palmer Is after the insurance companies which are not authorized to do business in Michigan, but which evade the law. He has had introduced in the Senate a bill making it a felony for an adjuster of an unlicensed company to come into Michigan to adjust a loss and in order to accurately tab the companies which are violating the law Rep. Leonard has Introduced a bill which amends the corporation acts so that each corporation which files a report with the secretary of state must file with it a statement of what fire insurance it carries and with what companies. This will enable the insurance department to ascertain what companies are doing business in Michigan unlawfully. Suffragette Speaks to Legislature. _Miss_gyivania -Eankhun lish suffragette who attracted attention a year or so ago by being arrested for landing a short arm jab on a prime minister or for some such playful trick, addressed the legislature in behalfof woman's suffrage on Friday. She IB on a lecture tour of the country and was induced to stop off at Lansing on motion of Rep. Flowers, the champion of woman's rights. Fraternat Insurance Bill Passes. The Ashley fraternal insurance bill which brings fraternal societies under the jurisdiction of the insurance department and which also provides for gradually bringing all fraternal insurance to the same basis as old-line insurance in the matter of stability was passed by the House. It is up against a tough time in the Senate, •however, as U in otrongly opposed by some insurance companies, Osborn for a Second Term. In a letter to a friend written several days ago, Gov. Osborn practically admitted that if there was a demand for him to run again that he would be a candidate in 1912. In the letter, which was in answer to one inquirin his attitude, he says that he is no a candidate but with reference to a demand by the people that he will "cross that bridge" when he comes to it. This is taken in Lansing to mean that the governor will undoubtedly be a candidate for another term and as a result the prospective candidates who have been figuring on getting Into the race are up in the air. Governor 8tgns Tax Bill. Gov. Osborn has signed the Lord bill which gives back to the state tax commission the powers it enjoyed before 1905, This means that t h e hoard will take up the matter of reviewing the entire state for the purpose of putting all the general property on the saffie footing. The House taxation committee has also reported out the "White nlll, Travel to Europe this year wffl be " * h l c h Pa s 8 e ,? t h e S«n a 4 i e ' *n<1 w n l < * ihJea.viirer« Ith. ian. «eve• r SbefLore.l iAlis o •th! e. -e, .m! p, .o.w_ er^s„ r,t^h«e* . c•o«m «m,«isvs«i on« to engage mining experts to make ann <a»p«p>-r.,a.«i*scaail of the mining property of the state it will undobtedly pass the House.

Fltfht on Insurance Bill. There IB a big 'tight ©n against the Ashley fraternal Insurance bin Which is designed to make fraternal insurance companies as strong as the. old line companies. It Is bracked by pr»c tically all the big fraternal insurance companies and Insurance Commie- •loner Palmer, but It Is being opposed by a number of Insurance societies doing business in Michigan. Representative Leonard's bill In the house providing for the abolition of the state weather bureau and Representative Ogg's bill providing for the abolition of the state board of mediation and arbitration have passed the house. Senator Wstktns proposes to protect in some measure the blue gills and sunflsh which are annually taken out of the lakes and streams ta vast numbers. He-has introduced a bill limiting the catch to 25 m a day and «o parson may have mora thin'tha* Senator's Paper for Unit Bill. The Fitzgibbons unit bill, which changes the unit of local option from the county to the township, village and city, has received unexpected support. The Grand Rapids Herald, the personal organ of Senator Willlam Alden Smith, is out with an endorsement of the bill, in which it declares absolutely for the smaller unit of submission a,s the only true solution of the liquor problem. Military Bill Recalled. The fnilitary bill passed the House but it wn-s.mecessary to reconsider the action because it was found that through an error the office of adjutant- general had been abolished. This cannot be done because the office is recognized by the war department as the office through which to transact business with the state. To Mark Fruit Packages. The Verdler bill which compels the seller of all fruit to plainly stamp on the box or crate the exact quantity contained has passed the House. The farmers were for the measure because they said that retail dealers frequently buy fruits In bulk and then sell them in short measure boxes and make an additional profit. Regents Want Appropriations, Regents Codd, of Detroit; Beal, of Ann Arbor, and Clements of Bay City were in Lansing this week laboring with the members of the legislature for the appropriations which are asked by the University of Michigan. They held a long conference with Gov. Osborn, but they are np against a hard proposition because the plan is to cyt down all appropriations except those absolutely needed for the maintenance of the state institutions A Referendum Bill. The House has used the referendum on legislation for the first time since the adoption of the new constitution, which provides that the legislature may put any measure It sees fit up to the voters.

END OF M DIAZ REGIME IS SEEN £3 BARRA, MEXICAN AM BASS ADOR T o U. S., W I L L HEAD MEXICO'S NEW CABINET. BIDS HASTY F A R E W E L L TO P R E S I D E N T T A F T — T O T A K E CHARGE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS. De Barra Is Expected to Heal the Breach Between Mexico's Warring Factions. Francisco de la Barra, Mexican ambassador to the United States, was named minister of foreign relations of the Mexican cabinet by President Diaz. Immediately after telegraphing his acceptance to Mexico City Senor de la Barra went to the White House and informed President Taft. The president expressed pleasure at the ambassador's appointment and congratulated him warmly. As the ambassador has decided to leave for Mexico City, the president bade him farewell, giving him a picture, nt himself autographed with a salutation of personal regard. Senor de la Barra also called upon Secretary of State Knox and informed him of the appointment. Mr. Knox congratulated the ambassador and bade him godspeed. The beginnng of the end of the old Diaz regime in Mexico, it is believed has come in the resignation of the "eTTttfenoa^elfitrSrsBTproT the presidentiaT cabinet. Whether Gen. Diaz hns forced out his advisers because they were unwilling to accept his policy in dealing with the revolutionary troubles, or whether they have themselves taken the initiative in order to enforce en him their protest against his attitude, is not clear. Advices from Mexico are meager, but conclusive as to the main point., There is reason to believe that the vigorous old man, who has made his Iron personality the entire government of Mexico for three decades, has himself taken the initiative. Diaz is the last man, in the opinion of those who have studied his personality and history, to weaken before any opposition. He believes that the mailed fist is the one administrative instrument for handling such a people "a"y lh« Mexicans, and has never faltered in employing it. Japan's Emperor Writes to Taft. President Taft was~areeply gratified to receive from the emperor of Japan a message warmly reciprocating the president's expressions of good will and friendship toward Japan made to the Japanese ambassador, Baron XTchida, several days ago, Baron Uchida called at the White House and delivered in person the emperor's message. President Taft has been extremely anxious to set at rest the various reports of dfferences between this country and Japan, especially with reference to the mobilization of troops in Texas, He declared the other day that he was at a loss to understand the motive behind such "malicious and baseless stories." He sent for Baron Uchida to express this sentiment to him and to ask that be convey the message to the emperor. Militia Measure Passed In House. The National Guard bill passed the house on the third reading and now goes to the senate. The chances for it in that body are good and as it is one of the measures that Gov. Osborn Indorses in his inaugural message there is only a question of time wheh (t will be a law. With its enactment into a law the guard will cease to be top-heavy with brigadiers and colonels. In the house Monday afternoon Hep. Graves of Adrian, a civil war veteran, tried to amend the bill In several particulars but failed. The measure is fortunate in having as Its sponsors in the house two National Guard majors, Rep. Gansser of Bay City and Stewart of Grand Roplds. In the senate it will be looked after by Senator Collins, who Is also a Nab lonal Guard officer. Government Plekt Wireless 8tatlon.

About two hundred members of the Michigan wool dealers association were In session in Lansing and among the various matters whifch were discussed was the shrinkage in demand and price which has been continued for the past year and a half. Out of the 12,000,000 pounds of wool grown in this state during the past year, prominent buyers estimate that nearly 1,000,000 pounds is yet in the hands of the Michigan dealers and that at least another million pounds is being kept by the growers, for higher prices. The slump in price Is attributed to the fact that on account of the high cost of living the people have not purchased as much clothing as usual and on account of the diminishment the price has necessarily been lowered. A Call for Recruits. Calls for six or .seven thousand T e U - ^ ^ l ^ I ^ g ^ cruits to bring the infantry regiments of the army mobilized in Texas and California up to full strength, have been sent by the war department to all the army recruiting stations iD the country.

OU-tlNCHAM cor*Mr( Howard Jeffries, banker's son, under the evil inlluehce of Robert Underwood, a fellow-atudent a t Yale, leads a life of dissipation, marries the daughter of a gambler who died In prison, and is disowned by his father. He tries to get work and fails. 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 Astrurla, and is apparently in prosperous circumstances. Howard recalls a |260 loan to Underwood, that remains unpaid, and decides to ask him for the $2,000 he needs. Underwood, taking advantage of his intimacy with Mrs. Jeffries, Sr., becomes-a sort of social highwayman, Discovering his true character she denies hini the house.

JZUAPTZn VI.—Continued.' He helped himself to another drink, his hand shaking so that he could hardly hold the decanter. He was fast approaching the state of complete Intoxication. Underwood made no att e m p t to Interfere. Why should he care If the young fool made a sot of himself? The sooner he drank himself Insensible the quicker he would get rid of him. ^ "No, Howard," he said; "you'd never make a decent member of society." "P'r'aps not," hiccoughed Howard. "How does Annie take her social ostracism?" inquired Underwood. "Like a brick. She's a thoroughbred, all right. She's all to the good." "AH the same, I'm sorry 1 ever introduced you to her," replied Underwood. "I never thought vou'ri m*kn " * • ! -such a fooi of yourself as to marry—" Howard shook his head in a maudlin manner, as he replied: "I don't know whether I made a fool of myself or not, but she's all right. She's got in her the makings of a great woman—very crude, but still the makings. The only thing I object to Is, she insists on going back to work, just as if I'd permit such a thing. Do you know what I said on our wedding day? Mrs. Howard Jeffries, you are entering one of the oldest families in America. Nature has fitted you for social leadership.

Lying back on the sofa, he proceeded to make himself comfortable. "Two thousand dollars!" laughed Underwood. "Why,, man, I'm in debt up to my eyes." As far as his condition enabled him, Howard gave a start of surprise. <*Hard u p ! " he exclaimed. Pointing around- the room, fie said: "What's ail this—a bluff?" Underwood nodded. " A bluff, that's it. Not a picture, c o t a vase, not a stick belongs to me. You'll have to go to your father." "Never," said Howard despondently. T h e suggestion was evidently too much «for him, because he stretched out his hand for his whisky glass.

"Howard, wake up! confound l p ! You've got to get out—there's somebody coming." He shook him roughly, but his old classmate made no attempt to move. "Quick, do you hear!" exclaimed Underwood impatiently. "Wake up— some one's coming." Howard sleepily half opened his eyes. He had forgotten entirely where he was and believed he was on the train, for he answered: "Sure, I'm sleepy, Say—porter, make up my bed." His patience exhausted, Underwood was about to pull him from the sofa by force, when there was a ring at the front door. Bending quickly over his companion, Underwook saw that he was fast asleep, There was no time to awaken him and get him out o£ the way,'so, quickly, he took a big screen and arranged it around the divan so that Howard could not be seen. Then he hurried to the front d.oor and opened it. Alicia entered. CHAPTER Vil. For a few moments Underwood wnstoo much overcome by emotion to speak. Alicia brushed by in haughty silence, nbt deigning to look at him. All he heard was the soft rustle of her clinging silk gown as it swept along the floor. She was incensed with him, of course, but she had come. That was all he asked. She had come in time to save him. He would talk to her and explain everything and she would understand. She would help him in this crisis as she had in the past. Their long . friendship, all these years of intimacy, could; not end like this. There was still hope for him. The situation was not as desperate as he feared. He might yet avert the shameful end of the suicide. Advancing toward her, he said in a hoarse whisper: "Oh, this is good of you, you've Come—this is the answer to my letter." Alicia Ignored his extended hand and took a seat. Then; turning oh him, she exclaimed indignantly^ -You, -at- least, }- twThr answer shouH be a horse^ whip. How dare you send me such a message?" Drawing from her bag the letter received from him that evening, she demanded: "What do you expect to gain by this threat?" "Don't be, angry, Alicia." Underwood spok^ soothingly, trying to conciliate her. Well he knew the seductive power of his voice. Often he had used it and not in vain, bat to-night 'it fell on cold, indifferent ears: "Don't call me by that name," she snapped. Underwood made flo answer. He turned slightly paler and, folding, his arms, just looked at her, in silence. T h e r e was an awkward pause. A$rlaa); she aajd: '' |"i,hope you understand that everything's over between,<vs. Our acquaintance la **>*« en**." _.. _ T . . _ . _ - , "My feelings toward yon can never t h * anawef bia fa(^ lit up an<f chafage;'* r e l i e d Underwdod earnest- "You love no one but yourself." Underwood advanced nearer to her and there was a tremor in his voice as he said: "You have no right to say that. You remember what we once were. Whose fault is it that I am where I am today? When you broke our engagement and married old Jeffries to gratify your social ambition, you ruined my life. You didn't destroy my love—you couldn't kill that. You may forbid me everything—to see you—to speak to you—even to think of you, but I can never forget that you are the only woman I ever cared tor. If-^you had married me, I might have been a different man. And now, just when I wane you most, you deny me even your friendship. What have I done to deserve such treatment? Is it fair? Is it just?" Alicia had listened with growing impatience. It was only with difficulty that she contained herself. Now she interrupted him hotly: i. "I broke my engagement with ygu because I found that you were deceiving me—just as you deceived others," "It's a lie!" broke in Underwood. "I may have trifled with others, but I never deceivtd yoij." Alicia rose and, crossing the room, carelessly inspected one of the pictures on the wall, a study of the nude; by Bouguereau. "We need not go into that," she said haughtily. "That is all over now. I came to ask you what this letter-—this threat—means. What do you expect to gain by taking your life unless I continue to be your<fricn.d? How .can I be a friend to a man like you? You know what your friendship for a woman means. It means that you would drag, her down to your own level and disgrace her as well as yourself. Thank God, my eyes are now opened to your true character. No self-respecting woman could afford to allow her-name to be associated with youre. Yowrare as incapable of disinterested friendship as you are of common honesty'." Coldly she added: "I hope you quftS understand that henceforth my houSe is closed to you. If we happen to meet In public,it must b e as strangers." Uqderwood did not speak. Words seemed to fail him. His face was set and white. A nervous twitching about the mouth Showed the terrible mental strain which the man was under. In the excitement he had forgotten about Howard's presence on the divan behind the screen. A listener might have detected the heavy breathing of the sleeper, but even Alicia herself was too preoccupied to notice it. Underwood extended his arms pleadingly: "Alicia—for the sake of auld lang syne!" "Auld lang syne," she retorted, "I want to forget the past. The old memories are distasteful. My only object In coming here to-nighl wa3 to make the situation plain to you and to ask you to promise me not to—carry out your threat td kill yourself. Why should you kill yourself? Only cowards do tbat. Because you are in trouble? ip the receiver, he hastily '4*van aud shook ly,* "1 loTeyou-^f ,«ball always love you'.** Alicia gave a little shrug of bar shoulders, expressive of utter Indiflerknown. < You are. still young. Begin life ovcrr again, somewhere el»e." Advancing toward him, the went on: 'If you will do this I will help you. I tttrer waa* to see you again, pot 111 -Lore!" she exclaimed mocktogty,|^aaL^taiak of yon aiiriadVk gttjbfrft* boi»f^~1feaftlBgtoft Sur you must promise me solemnly not to make any attempt against your life." "I promise nothing," muttered Underwood doggedly. "But you must," she insisted. "It would be a terrible crime, not only against yourself, but against others. You must give me your word." Underwood shook his head. "I promise nothing." "But you must," persisted Alicia. "I won't stir from here until I have your promise." He looked at her curiously, "If my life has no interest for you, why should you care?" he asked. There was a note of scorn in his voice which aroused his visitor's wrath. Crumpling up his letter in her hand, she confronted him angrily. "Shall I tell you why I care?" she cried. "Because_you_a^cusje_meJn_this_ 'letter~of"being the cause of your death —I, who have been your friend In spite of your dishonesty. Oh! it's despicable, contemptible! Above all, it's a lie—" Underwood shrugged his shoulders. Cynically he replied: "So it wasn't so much concern for me as for yourself that brought you here." Alicia's eyes flashed as she answered: "Yes, I wished to spare myself this indignity, the 3hame of being associated in any way with a suicide. I was afraid you meant what you said." "Afraid," interrupted Underwood bitterly, "that some of the scandal might reach as far as the aristocratic Mrs. Howard Jeffries, Sr.!" Hpr fr a flMahafl w^'h HMgAr. f 11"1'ri-j~Yo] paced up and down the room. The man's taunts stung heij to the quick. In a way, she felt that he was right. She ought to have guessed his character long ago and had nothing to do with him. He seemed desperate enough to do anything, yet she doubted if he had the courage to kill himself. She thought she would try more conciliatory methods, so, stopping short, she said more gently: "You know my husband has suffered through the wretched marriage of his only son. You know how deeply we both feci this disgrace, and yet you would add—" Underwood laughed mockingly. "Why should I consider your husband's feeling:,?" he cried. "He didn't consider mine- when he married you." Suddenly bending forward, every nerve ten.se>, he continued hoarsely: "Alicia, I toll you I'm desperate, I'm hemmed in on all sides by creditors. You know what your friendship—your patronage moans? If you drop me now, your friends will follow—they're a lot of sheep led by you—and when my creditors hoar of me they'll be down on me like a flock of wolves. I'm not able to make a settlement. Prison stares me in the face." Glancing around a t the handsome furnishings, Alicia replied carelessly: "I'm not responsible for your wrongdoing. 1 want to protect my friends. If they are-a lot of sheep, as you say, that Is precisely why I should warn them. They have implicit confidence In me. You have borrowed their money, cheated them at cards, stolen from them. Your acquaintance with me has given them the opportunity. But now I've found you out.. I refuse any longer to sacrifice my friends, my self-respect, my se'nse or decency." Augrily she continued: "You thought you could bluff mo. You've adopted this coward's way of forcing mo to receive you against my. will. Well, you've failed, I will not sanction your robbing my friends'. I will not allow you to sell them any more of your highpriced rubbish, or permit you to cheat them at cards." Underwood listened in silence. He stood motionless, watching her flushed face_aa_ahe heapad-reproaches o n Mm. She was practically pronouncing his death sentence, yet he could not help thinking how pretty she looked. When she had finished he said nothing, but, going to his desk, he opened a small drawer and tcok out a revolver. Alicia recoiled, frightened. "What are you going to do?" she cried. Underwood smiled bitterly. "Oh, don't be afraid. I wouldn't do it while you are here. In spite of all you've paid to me, I still think too much of you for that." Replacing the pistol in the drawer, ho added: "Alicia, If you desert me now, you'll be sorry to the day of your death." His visitor looked at him- In silence Then, contemptuously, she said: (TO m : COXTINTKD.) Sameness.

There they told mjS [ was just the man wanted . to handle a very ^peculiar c*ftjfe—the disappearance or one of oui leading American millionaires." With this introduction Manley snipped off the end of a fresh panetella, lighted the business end carefully, and then reeled off the following story: Col. Appleton Biddle, birdvof-prey, financial pirate, and freebooter, was floundering In deep water. Latterly he had bestowed the distinctive sunshine of his presence upon the moneyed circles of London, where he was ostensibly engaged in an endeavor to float sundry and idivers American swindles disguished as copper prospects, silver mines and on wells. But Col. Biddle's luck had failed of late, and he found himself in financial straits. Not tha<t lie was by any means "broke;" he could still lay hands on a few thousand dollars. * • % J sential—a "killing" which would enable him to retire and live respectably thenceforth .and forevermore. Two confederates were needed and found tn the persons of Tom Stoner and Sam Dragoo, a brace of American sharpers likewise down on their luck. These worthies Kiddle invited \o a quiet dinner on Sunday afternoon at his "little place" which was named *The Willows," near Mavlowton- Thames. The dwelling, liad formerly oeen the dower house of a much larger mansion, a ssafriar of a mile Sway, known as Maxtor manor, now Wf Danby DaUas» « s expatriatn. ha peexcse of time the lame* JHUI eeomne sequestrattSYsfcrent property, and was m rented separately, though only Jsst outside the park wall of the manor. To bts satellites Ool. Biddle outlined his plot. In brief, he had conceived the Idea of kidnaping the neighbor millionaire In his own house and holding him for a stupendous ransom! "Some time next week well turn the trick," said Col. Biddle, "about Friday or Saturday, according to circumstances. To show you bow easy it Is, remove your shoes and follow me." The chief conspirator brought forth a pocket electric lamp, saying: "You won't need your hats, boys." At the end of the lower hall he opened a door, which led to the cellar of the cottage. Proceeding to a disused wine bin at one end, lighted by the tiny spark in the torch he carried, the colonel pulled aside an empty crate,-seized a rusty iron ring in the floor, and raised a wooden trap. There was disclosed a short flight of stone steps, wet and gleaming with moisture In the rays of the light. "I stumbled on this quite accidentally;' explained the colonel, "and after a littts exploring the idea came pat Old country houses over here are £ujl of tfcete forgotten things, some of *»»','HiUng back hundreds of years, handy this must have been _ the good old times to those in •sj|g'.'fhffst up at the manor yonder— 1*» In*** where it leads to!

Pointing t s this, the colonel whispwred, wtth a tf*SwSf*aat gleam in his cold grh)r eyes): T h a i lets right late the sleeping jBOBi of Danby D a l l s e r Noif, wheal 1 came is** the case I was «bl* to see s esfisls « r George Kesoett, who waa engaged to marry Vmht* daughter.

That's »three days ago, and we're not »a'bit wiser now than we were then! Ht's a most confounded mystery, however you look-at it! Mr. Dallas bated publicity and scandal above all things." 1 thought tit advisable to.look over the ground rn person at Mariow manor. All*over the house 1 went, upstairs, downstairs, and in my gentleman's chamber—the sulte< occupied by Danby Da lias. Result, nil. The trail was positively and absolutely blind, save for two curious facts which might or might not possess any siglater <on. The question la, win you come quietly and on your own feet, giving us .your parole to make mo disturbance, or must we go ftwther, ran- •der.you completely neipiees,-and'cai-1 >ry:you? We intend to do j*ou*&o p«rtonal injury, but you travel «wtth trs' Astanter. Understand? You hear .what -1 say, and you can -move your head. Nod if you mean "Ves;' shake your head if it's 'No.'" So saying the eoionel significantly held up to view •* bottle marked "Chloroform" and a sponge. Dallas was helpless—what' else could he do but nod an affirmative? Better -go wherever his captors Intended in possession of his senses than'Insensible and Inert. Hid die rose with a nod of satisfaction. "Blindfold him," he commanded Stoner, and when this was securely done, "untie his feet and take off his shoes." Then "Off with you, now; I'll tidy up and follow you." Their backs turned, Biddle in two strides reached the desk and the cheque-book of Danby Dallas. He took it out, fluttered its leaves until he came to the first blank page. This he deftly tore at the ;perforations,, and was thus in possession of five blank but consecutively numbered cheques on the London and Westminister bank. Then the colonel quickly restored the two cbalre 'to their places, gave a swift glanee around the room, and was at the <beels of the others in a moment, sliding shut the secret door, which fell into its groves with a faint click. <In>« few minutes all four were in the cellar of The Willows. Then up the ^cellar steps they proceeded, the blindfolded man being carefully guided and coached, into the hall, where a sort slouch hat was placed on his head, and out onto the lawn sloping to the nlflcance. Dallas' desk stood open, its pigeon-holes crammed with papers and letters, <& large chequebook in full view. "I'll have .a Jook at this," said 1, taking it out; "it may give us a clew." I turned to the last strip of used stubs—-there were five to a page—and noted the number. The next series of five stubs were completely blank, but all the correspondingly numbered cheques were missing! "That's queer," I thought. The other item consisted in the half-consumed stub of a fat black cigar rested on a corner of the mantel, which 1 carefully scrutinized, and then quietly confiscated. "What do you think about it all?" Kensett inquired, as we stood on the terrace after~thelr tour. "One of two things is certain," I answered. "Either Mr. Dallas walked out at the house of his own accord, and has left the neighborhood for some particular private reason, desiring his whereabouts to remain unknown; or else he had been lured away or abducted, and is being forcibly detained for some nefarious object!" '"He'd never do such a thing!" exclaimed Kensett. "It must be the other thing—he's been kidnaped! But how, and by whom?" "That's what I propose to find out," was my answer. Those missing cheques, with no stub entries, look suspicious to me—?your prospective father- in-law was a most methodical man. It may spell blackmail! But if the man is on earth—and he can't be very far away—il'H find him"' Now here is what .actually happened when Col. Biddies pretty plot was ripe: Danby Dallas was enjoying a beforebedtime cigar on a idJvan in bis large and softly-lighted -sleeping apartment. The clock in the stable turret had just •chimed the threerquarters after 11. Presumably all the household were In •their l«tle beds. Suddenly the millionaire rose on one elbow, and turned his head. He had been aroused by a sudden draft of cold and damp air which invaded the pleasant warmth of the room, and sent the smoke-wreaths from his cigar whirling cellingward. And this is what he saw: Beside his bed, the usual smooth and flawlesB expanse of polished old oak paneling reaching from floor to frieze had given place to a yawning black eartty the size of an ordinary doorway. In this aperture stood three men, the foremoat of whom had him covered with a very business-like revolver of the most approved pattern. ^Tbe two fellows In the background were similarly armed. "Hands up!" commanded the leader in the smoothest and silkiest of voices, the left thumb and forefinger, as Del las sprung to his feet in amazement. "Hands up, Mr. Dallas! I've got you covered!" Every American knows the meaning of those two magic -word*—rfhrhandi flew ^ b o w trtr shoulders* all ten digits extended. "What does this intrusion mean?" sputtered the astonished millionaire, "Silence, if you please," commanded our friend, Col. Biddle. "Business first; talk later."' Then, stepping aside, he motioned hit confederate* forward, saying: ' "Tie him up, boys!" Stoner and Dragoo came into the room, produced a cowboy's lariat, with which they proceeded to deftly and scientifically truie their victim by the ankles, elbows and wrists. "Gag him!" ordered Biddle. whereat a folded silk handkerchief waa securely tied over the Dallas mouth. Then a chair was placed behind the now helpless man, and be was gently but firmly pushed into a sitting posture, "So! All neat and shipshape," commaated Biddle, as he slipped the revolver into bis hip-pocket, deposited his cigar on one corner of the manUtiX0* JJf ^J*1 *?^**0 piece, and drew u p a second chair, In """" which he seated himself close to the prisoner. Speaking very quickly, but nose tbs lass distinctly, he said: "Now, Mr. Dallas, w# Are going to take you with na. tfo matter where t s or why ~ y W U leart all s g s * « • * i to a little wharf, where could be discheques and placing it on the little table. Danby Dallas filled in the dateline, the amount, affixed his name, and pushed the slip ef pinkish paper • across the narrow table. "And now," he said, rising, "1 suppose you have no further use for me, Mr. Biddle?" '^Uere you stay until this bit of paper goes .through the hank," respond- «d the colonel. Now the clews which I actually possessed in this -case were of the slenderest—only the butt of a half smoked cigar and the fact that some blank cheques were missing! Either or bo€h might prove valuable or worthless. The missing cheques might be acaounted for on the supposition that the millionaire had gone away of his own volition, taking them with him. Any bank in Europe would honor his signature for any conceivable amount. It might be possible to trace the man's movements through the cheques. The cigar stump presented a different problem. "The man who smoked that cigar," 1 thought, "probably knows more about the matter than anyone else. Wonder if 1 can find him? It's surely a big contract to undertake in that village they call l>ondon." But nevertheless I carefully wrapped the halfsmoked -stump In a piece of tissue paper and put it in my wallet. I also decided to make some inquiries concerning Col. Biddle in the "city" and among the American colony. At the United States consulate, and also at the American embassy the redoubtable colonel chanced to be well-known, and not too favorably. "A bad lot, sir!" said the consul, and brought 4beaa—'*eught to have been clapped hi Jail ly. *'By what right do you, a perfect stranger, expect me to answer such a q«ery as that? I don't know you, sir, and I must refuse, sir—unqualifiedly!" "I rather thought you would," I reioineC "Bui I'm going to a*k you to do something elre, and that is, don't honor any cheque bearing any of those numbers unless you are perfectly sure that it is presented in the course of legitimate business. "Quite impossible, my dear sir, I at sure you," was the emphatic answer. "The cheques of Mr. Dallas we shall be glad to honor for any amount —always provided, of course, that they are genuine." "Well, be sure they are genuine." 1 retorted as 1 turned to the door, and with this parting shot left Mr. Anderton. "So far honors are even," I thought. "'One success, one failure. Now for the jackal himself." Calling a hansom to the curb, I gave the address in Lombard street which the embassy had given as being the latest lair of Col. Biddle. I found the office easily enough—a suite of three rooms comfortably furnished. There was in the air an aroma of rich tobacco. "Col. Riddle?" I inquired of the office boy, who responded by nonchalantly motioning with thumb over shoulder, and a laconic: " 'E's in there." So I stepped through the middle room to the last of the series, literally following ray nose. The colonel himself, in the act of strapping a bulky portmanteau, rose to his full height and faced me, rather suspiciously. Col. Biddle, I presume?" "That's my name, sir." was the prompt answer. 'What can I do for yon?" H P marie nft.mnttnn t© s i t down long ago!" was the verdict <ef the oenned the outlines <st a long, lean .gray boat, setting so low in the water that .the gang-plank from dock to deck made a very slight incline. The latter gained, the captured millionaire was piloted below, led Id a tiny cabin lighted by an electric bulls-eye in the oeiting and with a single dead-light in the side. He was led to a fairly comfortable bunk, gag and blinders were removed, and while be was staring dazedly aronrtd, the doughty colonel stepped to the door, saying courteously: ~ - "Make s'ourself comfortable until morning, Mr. Dallas; we'll have some further conversation then" Biddle'a cue, you'll understand," continued Manley, "was to strike quickly. So next morning he interview the multimillionaire." Two hundred thousand pounds—a million dollars in round numbers— a half-consumed cigar poised between^ t ^ t ' s quite a lot of money, Col. Biddle," remarked Danby Dallas. **To me—yes," was the frank reply; "to you—poof—a mere bagatelle!" "And if I refuse to be bled?" in quired the multimillionaire quietly. "Some things may be purchased too dearly, you know." "No pr(ce is too great to pay for liberty and perhaps life," was the coloners grave response. "But you have not refused—you're going to take a sensible view of the transaction, Mr. Dallas, and give up like a sport" "But," said Dallas, "you surely do not imagine that I carry any such sum as two hundred thousand pounds in my vest pocket!4' "All arranged for, my dear sir," retorted Col. Biddle airily. "You've merely to sign a cheque. You bank at the London and Westminster, I happen to know." So saying, he produced the sheet of blank cheques which he had abstracted the night before. "Are you ready?" he queried, the light of unholy victory Is ayes and voice. "When the devil drives, you know," retorted the millionaire with a wave "Thanks for the compliment," bowed Biddle, ironically; "I've been called worse names In sty timer-but it's all; Is the game." While speaking, he produced a fountain pan and s blotter, American minister's secretary. Next, calling on a wholesale cigar dealer tn St. Mary Axe, I produced the precious cigar stub, saying: "Gould you tell me the name of that elgar and where It may be bought?" The expert took the "butt" to the light, smeiled it, and promptly answered : "That's a fine piece of goads, made In Cuba, and quite expensive. It's called 'La Madria'—what we term a perfecto. Costs a hundred shilling a pound—say ten guineas a bimdred —at retail. Would you like a boEV' "If you please," said 1, laying a tenpound note and half a sovereign on the counter. The box of cigars was brought, opened, and compared with the stub. Even the non-expert could perceive that in shape, color and aroma the two matched perfectly. Around each cigar was a gold band marked "LA Madria." My next errand was of a more delicate nature. In every move I realized that I must be very circumspect in my inquiries. Turning lnt» the Londojuthd Westminster bank on Fleet street I sent my card in to the manager, and was shortly ushered into an inner oflBce. "What can we do for you?" inquired a dapper little man with mouse-colored mutton-chop side-whiskers and a cleanshaven mouth and chin. "I wish to make an inquiry concerning one of your depositors—Mr. Danby Dallas, in fact," said I, going direct 1 to the point. "We are not in the habit of—" "Pardon me," I said quietly, 'I am aware that my request may seem quite out of the ordinary, but I beg you to believe that my motives are entirely honorable." "Why not apply to Mr. Dallas' solicitors?" "Because- they cannot give me the exact Information I require, "And that Is—?" said the manager suavely, matching the finger tips of either hand. "I wast to know whether you have cashed any checks signed by Mr. Dalit* Xor any asm. within the last few d m , lumbered between 1624 and 1630 Jsjaiasdve' oft one. the t >*l'v','i?^'"* %:-f ^fc^ ''i^^^h:ir*' ssrmer to his victim with right* my dear sir," began the v< r,- s a l t indignant- ^.^Miii^i himself, nor did he offer me a chair, instead: "I must ask you to be brief, as I am leaving town right off, and ray time is limited." As he spoke he turned and took from the top of his desk a lighted cigar, from which the smoke had been rising in blue spirals, and restored it to one corner ot his mouth. I could have sworn it was a La Madria!" ° "1 wished to consult you about some mineR in the States concerning which I am told you are an eipert. authority, Col. Riddle," I if'airi, dropping inio a chi;ir, thus compelling the adversary to do likewise. "My friends say I do know something about the subject," admitted the colonel modestly, "What's your proposition— gold, silver or copper?" "The latter—Montana," 1 answered lueuuUiully. "Are you buyer or seller?" inquired Hiddle. "Huyer," was the prompt reply — "That is, if everything is straight and the price is not too high. As to which I had hoped to be guided by your advice." "I'd be delighted to go into the proposition with you." .said the colonel, "at some time," his suspicions apparently allayed. "Do you smoke? Ye?? Try one of mine," handing out a cigar the exact mate of the four then reposing in my case!" "Can't you give me an early appointment?" I queried. "Not an hour to spare before next week," responded the colonel. I've just got back from a little—er— yachting trip; and I've got to make up for lost time!" There seemed to be more humor in this remark than the words warranted, and the. colonel threw back his head laughir^g heartily, showing a set of teeth with peculiarly square edges, displaying a gaping cavity in the left upper .jaw caused by the loss of two molars, Into this cavity, his merriment over, Col. Biddle carefully restored h!h cigar. I bad seen all I wanted. "Shall we say this day week, then?" I inquired nonchalantly, as I rope. "At your service," bowed the colonel. I rearhed the street in a ferment. The strange cigar-stub found in Dallas' room bore the imprint of exactly such teeth as were possessed by Col. Biddle. The dual proof of the brand of cigars and the teeth-marks were conclusive! Riddle and none other had been in Danby Dallas' chamber on the night of the millionaire's disappearance! But what to do with the information now that I had it wan the burning query. I could not have the man arretted on mere suspicion. However, much F might suspect, 1 could prove nothing—not even the fact that Dallas was absent other than by his own free will. But I could and would have him shadowed. Clearly it was time to take some one into confidence, so I drove to the Yeomanry club, where I hoped to find Sir George Kensett. Meantime Col. Biddle proceeded to catch the boat-train for Southampton and -Fafit to wait for things to "blow over." The great coup had been carefully planned and clever ly carried out With-Dallas' cheque deposited in the co'onel's bank, the transfer of the £200,000 followed. Recalling Dragoo and Stoner, and paying them off, left the colonel with free bands, and be rightly reckoned that Dallas would pocket the loss gracefully. - When 1 reached the club I found Sir George nowhere about. There was, however, said the porter, a man waiting to see him in tho strangers' room. You may imagine that Danby Dallas passed a dreary 24 hours after Biddle left him on the occasion ot the cheque-signing episode. His wants were regularly attended to, and his scanty meals served by the two men who had assisted in his capture. Torn by fits of impotent anger au the gross indignity which had been put upon him, chafing at the enforced inaction which kept him mewed up in the tiny cabin helpless and powerless, suffering under the confinement of the stuffy interior, the . millions! rs could neither sleep nor e a t managed to urabj$_-1he little e porthole, but e afforded mtrety a # . - * \ of the outer world. So far as h e could judge, the motor boat was moored in some quiet stretch of wa» ter, but he could form no Idea ae to his location. Although he kept his lace in the pnrthoie aa long a a day* light lasted in the hope of being able to bail some passing craft, eves thisslender hope failed as night descended. As a matter of fact the Stilette lay on the Kentish side of the river, near the mouth of the afedway. Ov the second morning a brilliant idea occurred to him. At dinner the night before his captora-had,served • pint of poor claret, and the halaemsty Bottle still stood on the table. He would use it to send a message to the outer world! Ripping a leal from his pocket memorandum book he wrote with his fountain-pen: "I am forcibly detained on a motor boat somewhere in the lower Themes, Come quickly to the rescue. "DANBY DALLAS* ; On the other side of the leaf h# penned these words: "Finder deliver this at once to Sir George Kensett, Yeomanry club, Pail Mall, London, and receive large reward. DANBY DALLAS." The slip of paper carefully rolled, he deftly inserted in the empty claret bottle, rammed the cork in tightly, tied a white handkerchief round the neck and quietly dropper it out of the porthole. Then be sat down to possess his soul in patient waiting. Two days passed. On the late afternoon of the second day something happened. Tbere were sounds on deck of tramping feet and the splash of a boat in the water alongside. With his eyes glued to the porthole Dallas distinctly saw his Jailers rowing sTfiarTiy '"shoreward? That night the* motor boat was silent and deserted,. and the electric lights were not turned on. The poor millionaire spent the hours iu hunger, cold and darkness, hopeless and helpless: Apparently bis, bottle-message bad gone out to seaunnoticed. But not so. The man whom I found) waiting at the club proved.to be a Thames waterman of the Gaffer Hexam type, plying the river. He had picked the bottle out of the water on an idle impulse, and knocked off itu neck, thus finding the message within. Half fearing that It might be a hoax, he made hfs way to the city by the first train. "ThiM will be about the best day's work you've ever put in!" I exclaimed. "How soon can you put me on the spot wftere you picked, th^H "P9' :i <y#i ..+¾ 'M :*F inside o' tnree hours If we ketches a last train to Krith. I picks it up jest off tii' powder works there."

"Can yovi get a couple of stout fellows to help us?" .was the next query— There's ton pounds apiece for theirt and f>0 for you." "I'm your man," was the reply, "an* I knows t'h' right parties." As we struck- the shingle ol tho beach, Mr. Joseph Covdell, as the worry-man described himself, whistled twice with his fingers between his teeth, and immediately there lose as though out of the water a couple of amphibious fellows who, at Cordell's command, atch old!" slid the Rkiff into the water with me In her, leaping in themselves as she floated. "Where to, sir?" Inquired Cordell, his oars suspended over the water. "There's a motor boat moored somewhere near," I answered; "been here for some days. I guess, You men seen anything of such a craft?" "W'y, that must be that ere gray thing over yonder, Y' can see 'er frome 'ere, sir—right in line wi' th* church!" following the direction of the man's outstretched arm, I could faintly discern the outlines of a long, low craft, the gray color of hfr sides almost blended with the last-descending night. "That'll he her. men. Give way smartly!" Undtr thive pairs of sculls the light row boat 'fairly flew through the watH\ and in ten minutes we were bobbing against the Stiletto's side. "I'm going aboard!" I exclaimed. "Two of you romo with me, the oth*r man remain alongside." We gained the dark and silent deck. Apparently the craft was deserted. A little com* panion-hood showed amidships, which* 1 promptly descended. "Arf a mo!" shouted CordelL " 'Ere'* a lantern," rnd he came clattering down the cabin steps at my heels. "Anybody below here?" f shouted. There was an instant's silence, then a feeble "Help, Help!" and an unmistakable rattling of a doorknob, to say nothing of a vigorous application ot the toe of a boot to the lower ppnelS.

The stable doors should be fully four feet in width, hung on rollers; this will prevent an animal from being "Injured in passing in or o u t o T a halfopen door. The winter doors should be solid and slotted in summer. The following dimensions will prove satisfactory: Width of double stall with stanchions for cows, 6 feet; width of feed trough, 18 inches; width of feed passage between two rows of cattle, 4 feet; length of stall from stanchion to gutter for small cows, 5 feet; length of stall from stanchion to gutter for large cows, 6 feet; length of partitions between stalls, 4 feet; width of manure gutter in cow stable, 12 inches; depth of gutter, 8 Inches, and walk behind cows, 2 feet. Width of stall for horses, 5 feet; length of stall for horses, 12 feet; size of loose box for mare with eolt, 10x12 feet, and size of loose box for cow and calf, 8x10 feet. A concrete floor put down on a properly graded s-incn stone Is not too hard if the cattle are well bedded. The best floor for horses is ono of red clay, Just made moist enough to pack down firm. A clay floor is best for horses' feet. A stone floor is too hard, and a board floor is too dry. The stable should face south; the doors shoould open out upon a wellsheltered, dry yard, securely fenced. Running water in the yard, with drain to carry off the overflow, is to be preferred to water in the stable. Heat-Producing Food to Sow. Sows that are fed on corn and other concentrated, heat-producing foods during pregnancy are quite sure to experience more or less difficulty at farrowing time and we need not blame the sow or wonder if she is cross and feverish and runs and chases the pigs up in one corner of the pen, or even turns upon them and devours them. base of rracgerr-j-^T^^ p a y n n affpntlnn t" t^nft M lfng as words were decent, but to a woman's sensitive ear the tone is everything.

I saw a badly Ironed sheet taken back to the kitchen recently by a woman who is never anything but kind to her employees. "When you find clean clothes that look like this, Mary, do not bring them to me; do them over." The girl burst into tears with the remark that nobody had ever found fault with her laundry till then. It required some reasoning to bring her to a proper frame of mind, and the woman decided to replace her by one less sensitive at the earliest opportunity. It came last week.—Betty Rradeen in The Buffalo Enquirer. Collar for Horse. Do not compel your horses to begin the season's work with poorly-fitting collars. Provide a collar that fit." well and make no change. LrvtSroc NOTES 8 ' • • • ^ ^ B J S W 7 * The sows should farrow in March. The check-rein, is as comfortable to a horse as the high collar is to a workingmati. An excellent bedding for hogs is marsh hay or pulp from sugar cane meal. This gives out very little dust. On a farm of 100 acres or over it pays much beitcr to sellsheep as mutton instead of stock for other people to fatten. A handful of oil meal given to the horse once a day will keep him in good condition and makes his coat soft and sleek. The pigs should be allowed the free range of an alfalfa field and fed milk arid shortB and barley, or a mixture of the throe. If you cannot afford to buy pure-bred mares at the start, buy the best you can, then trade and buy until you can get the real article. It is easy td teach a suckling colt how to drink milk, and a quart of warm cow's milk in the morning will give it a good start. . Many mares are unable to supply their colts with sufficient milk, particularly when hard worked. In such cases they should be helped out. The average farmer can care for four or five sows with very little trouble; but keep good ones, as scrubs* are likely to lose monoy for you.

She I f Not Paid Because She Is Pretty or Stylish, but Because 8he Is Useful to the Business. \ The woman who finds herself facing the problem of earning a living should immediately proceed to get rid of her sensitive feelings, if she has any. She would do well to try to sink her personality during business hours and keep saying to herself that only her work counts, that she Is not paid* because she 1B pretty or stylish, but just because she is useful to the business which pays her wages. When she falls in that her good looks will not save her. A capable girl with, perhaps, neither beauty nor style, will succeed her. The employers who are hiring girls for their charms are few, and the girls who have to work are many. Feminine workers are striving to secure the wages of men, which can only be done by doing men's work. Now men do not expect praise and7 it does not turn their head when it is given. As a rule they do not accept reproof as a personal injury. The just employer gives both praise and blame. When he pays promptly he expects good work every day and not according to the feelings of his workers. When there is a valid reason for leniency—like illness, for instance^— he is kind, but for shirking he has no mercy. A man who employs more than fifty women teld me that he had no trouble with them because he treated them exactly as he would treat men. His creed was so much work for so much money and he reasoned that no woman had a right to accept a position she could not fill. I think that was fully understood by his office, for he was in the habit of going away and returning without warning, and he seemed satisfied with the result. Women are not yet accustomed to being treated with the lack of courtesy which makes the atmosphere of a business place. A man whose brain Is turning over important plans cannot give particular attention to the tone in which he addresses an employee. It may be brusque without his knowing it or intending any unklndness.

Henceforth the discharged convict really anxious to make a clean start will not be brought Into direct contact with the police. Up to now the convict has been supervised by the police on the one hand and cared for by various philanthropic' societies on the other, and there has been no cooperation between the police and the societies. The new scheme is to combine into a central body the societies which have hitherto aided discharged prisoners and to give this body authority to deal with the convicts and funds to carry on the work. This body will be responsible for the convicts whose interests it serves, and the police will have no more dealings with discharged prisoners so long as they keep from further crime.—From the London Saturday Review. Experience to Remember. A woman and her four-year-old child were rescued etfrly the other morning on a Welsh mountain after a terrible ordeal. They visited' some relatives and started back across the Deri mountain. The woman, however, took | the wrong Toad, and as night fell found she was lost. In the darkness, bofh she and the child fell Into a brook. They managed to extricate themselves, but as they ran to and fro, wet through and bitterly cold, the child left Its mother's side. The woman wandered about screaming for help, until a workman heard her.

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled with eczema when but a few weeks old. His little face was covered with sores even to back of his ears. The poor little fello-y suffered very much. The sores began as pimples, his little face was disfigured very much. We hardly knew what he looked like. T h e fa^ft l o o k e d Ifltft r a w m p a t W e tied little bags of cloth over his hands-to prevent him from scratching. He was very restless at night, his little face itched. "We consulted two doctors at Chicago, where we resided at that time. After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, we read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Following the directions carefully and promptly we saw the result, and after four weeks the dear child's face was as fine and clean as any little baby's face. Every one who saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura Remedies was surprised. He has a head of hair which is a pride for any boy of his age, three years. We can only recommend the Cuticura Remedies to everybody." (Signed) Mrs. H. Albrechl, Bux i&i, West Point, Neb., Keep Watch on the Tuberculous.

One hundred and fifty persons, the great majority .of them East Side Jewish girls, met death in its most awful form in New York city in the short space of time between 4:50 and 5:10 o'clock Saturday. They either leaped screaming to their death on the hard pavement or fell back burned and suffocated into the burning eighth, ninth and tenth floors of the building at 23 Washington Place, occupied as a factory by the Triangle Shirtwaist company, "which was not provided with a solitary outside fire escape, although 700 operators, 600 of them women, daily worked on these floors. The building, now a charnel house, stands on the western fringe of the down-town wholesale clothing, fur and millinery district. The partners of the firm, Isaac Harris and Max Blanck, escaped unscathed from the office on the tenth floor, carrying with them over an adjoining room Blanck's two young daughters and a governess. Cawse-ef-^t+ve-Fire * Mystery. How the fire started will perhaps never be known. A corner on the eighth floor was its point of origin, and the three upper floors only were swept. On the ninth floor fifty bodies were found; sixty-three or more persons were crushed to death by jumping and more than thirty clogged the elevator shafts. The loss to property will not exceed $100,000. Terrible Rain of Flesh and Blood. "Don't jump! Don't jump!" yelled the crowd. But the girls had no alternative. The pressure of the maddened hundreds behind them and the urging of their own fears were too strong. They began to fall to the sidewalk in a terrible rain of flesh and blood.

The baggage and express cars, two day coftches and a Pullman went into 10 feet of water in the river. Five Pullmans remained on the track. The injured were transferred to the Atlantic coast line hosptal in Waycroas, Ga., and the dead were taken to Tipton and Waycross. According to an official statement the wreck was caused by the breaking of an axle on the engine when midway on the trestle, the weight of the train causing the trestle to collapse. The disaster came without warning and as soon as those in the rear Pullmans realized what had happened they rushed to the edge* of the river and rendered assistance to the victims.

TKR CHILL MX/PICTURE mis A Jim THE G R I P tfEffPfcim TZLIS A STORY' Colds and Chills Bring Kidney Ills February, March and April are the backache months,,. because they are months of colds, chills, grip and pneumonia* with their congesting, weakening influence on the kidneys. Colds, chills, or grip strain the kidneys and start backache, urinary disorders anduric acid troubles. You feel lame, weak and tired and have headache, dizzy feelings, achy muscles and joints; too frequent, painful urinary passages, sediment, etc Chills hurt the kidneys. Likewise well kidneys often prevent taking cold, by helping to pass off the waste matters of cold congestion. Doan's Kidney Pills are very useful in the raw winter and spring months. They stop backache and urinary disorders, keep the kidneys well and prevent colds from settling on the kidneys. Strong testimony proves it. What better evidence could you ask? CONVINCING PROOF FROM GRATEFUL USERS TERRIBLE CASE OP DROPSY. Lebanon, tnd* Man Gives Vivid Description of His Suffering. John T. Anderson, 613 W. Main St, Lebanon, Ind., says: "I was taken suddenly with agonizing pains through my kidneys, followed by a stoppage of the urine. I called in a physician, but he gave me only teffiJJdf&ry relief, by drawing the urine with a catheter. I was soon In such agony 1 could not lie in bed, and for four weeks sat in a chair, propped up by pillows. After about a month, it seemed as if something burst and I pasted a regular flood of water, mixed with blood and mucus. After that I had not a particle of control over the secretions. The doctor said he could do no more for me, and every* one thought I would die. My friends marvel at my recovery* Nine boxes of Doan'a Kidney Pills' saved my life and made a permanent core. I gained 28 pounds and have had ho trouble since," TEN YEARS OP SUFFERING, Restored at Last to Perfect Heslth by Doan's Kidney Pills, Mrs. Narcissa Waggoner, Cartervllle, III, R. F. D. No. 2. says: "For over ten years X suffered terribly with backaches, headaches, nervous and dizzy spells. I was restless at night and in the morning arose so tired as to be almost unable to do my housework. The kidney secretions were unnatural and gave me a great deal of trouble. One day I suddenly fell to the floor where X lay for a long time unconscious. Three doetors who treated me diagnosed my case as paralysis and said they could do nothing for me. As a last resort 1 began using Doan'a Kidney Pills and waa permanently cured. X am stronger than before in many years and my kidneys are in perfect condition," v - ,'**V X ••-.(I ' * • • ':?u r->vv % —TV ii x > i A TRIAL FREE Test Doan's Kidney Pills Yoortetfj Cut out this coupon, mail it to Fotter-MObum ~ Buffalo.

Speaking of the driveling Ute a youth must undergo these days and the many Influences that war with clean life, clean thoughts and fine aspirations, Cornelia A. P. 'Conner, in "A Letter to'the Rising Generation," la the Atlantic, says: **I don't approve," your fathers and mothers say anxiously, "but I hate to keep Tom and Mary at home when all the other children are allowed to go." These parents are conscientious and energetic in looking after Tom's teeth and eyes, and Mary's hair, tonsils and nasal passage, but seem utterly unconscious that mental rickets and curvature of the soul are fax more deforming than crooked teeth and adenoids. If these children were protected from a vicious environment and educated into habits of a pure, clean, sensible life, there would need be much less anxiety concerning crooked teeth and nasal passages, says the Ohio State Journal. What education needs to make Itself worth while is a conflict with the vulgarizing Influences outside the borne and the schoolroom. Life has become a hard problem for the children. They are surrounded bj a cloud of pleasures and fascinations that lead them away from virtue, culture and serious thought. It may not make them vicious and criminal, but to make them stupid, la- AND IIS WORK PARDON BOARD THREATENS TO RESIGN ON ACCOUNT OF DIFFERENCES W I T H T H E GOVERNOR.

Still they didn't borrow as much as they now draw and as a result a number of them have saved money which they would not otherwise have done. By L. C. Ward. Pardon Board May Quit. It is said here that differences have arisen between Gov. Ostiorn and the pardon board which may result in the board resigning in a body. The board and the governor has clashed several times since he appointed two members, Judge Russell and Dr. J. B. Bradley, and last week there was almost an open rupture when Gov. Osborn paroled Martin E. Brown, of Kalkaska, charged with wife desertion, without consulting the board, although it was in session in another room of the executive suite. It seems to be assured now that another county is to be created by taking portions of Cheboygan and Presque Isle counties. The county will be named either Forest or Osborn. The name in the bill as _pre-.. The terrible Infantile paralysis continues to be a puzzle to the medical fraternity. It is a malady that appeared years ago, but not until lately has it assumed epidemic proportions. The disease is an affection of the spinal cord, though it involves the heart, liver, kidneys and lymphoid tissues. Efforts have been made to discover the germ of the disease, but it seems to be so small as to escape detection, says the Ohio State Journal. It is possible, that some time this winter thi hacilluRwill turn up, since great lnyeBtlgatlons~are~going on in the laboratories. The devastations bT the malady seem to have decreased during the cold weather, but there are apprehensions that early In the spring the fatalities will reappear. It is hoped by then the germ will be found out and an antitoxin devised for Its demolition. While this disease is proneto attack children, adults, too, are subject to It. It Is said about 20 per cent, of the cases die. Relief from the exactions.._of fash- Ion is aimed at through a petition which has been presented to the North Carolina Benate, asking for legislation that will establish permanent and economical styles of clothing, in order that farmers and others with large families shall be exempt from tbe hardship of trying to keep up with prevailing modes. No doubt the object sought is a worthy one. But who is to be,the "arbiter elegantlarum," such as the ancient Romans bad, to set the pace in "what to wear?" And -what assurance is there that the wife and children of even the poorest of poor men would be satisfied with any design on which the arbitration board should decide? Statesmen in North Carolina and elsewhere who attempt to "monkey" with the fashions are quite likely to find such action a good deal like dallying with dynamite.

Another taxation measure which is very important has passed the House. That is the Stevenson bill, which provides for a tonnage tax on all vessels. At present all steamers and other craft are taxed add valorem, while in other states there is a specific fee or a tonnage tax. As a result, while thousands of craft are owned in Michigan the greater part of them are "hailed" from ports in other states where the taxes are lower. Then, too, the fleet of the Pittsburg Stoamuhip Co., wlikh means' the steel trust, have gotten around' the tax question by hailing from Isle Royal a. The island is owned by the steel trust and. comprises one township of Keewenaw county. As the steel trust controls it and there is practically no local taxes to pay, the trust has l>een escaping nearly all taxation on its great fleet of ore carriers. Compromise Possible on Central Board. After being defeated by one vote on Tuesday the Stewart -central board of control for all state institutions was revived on Wednesday and now stands a chance of passage in an amended form. When it was taken from tiie table. Rep. I^ord succeeded In getting adopted an amendment which placed only the penal institutions under the board, Instead of all the asylums and paternal institutions, except the educational institutions, There was a long parliamentary battle following, but the bill was finally referred back to the committee to have It fixed up to conform to the Lord amendment. It is possible that It will be passed in the amended form. Boxers to Meet. The members of the Senate of 1907. the famous "Boxer" session, in which the upper house was split 16 to 16 ofi all important measures, Is to have a reunion on April 7.

Many Petition for Unit Bill. The House is being flooded with petitions in favor of the Fitzgibbon unit bill, which makes the city, village and township the unit of submission of the local option question instead of the county. The petitions are coming in from both dry and wet counties and the names which have already been received number many thousand. The fate of the measure, however, is still in doubt, as there is a big disposition on the part of the members to avoid any liquor legislation this time, because of the effect it will have on tjie campaign of next year. That is also the idea of Gov. Osborn. Reforms Pass in Committee. The initiative, referendum and recall bills have passed the House committee of the whole, but there is little chance now of their passing the House when the resolution comes up for final passage. There was no debate on the propositions of any general character and but little interest was manifested in the measures. Tbe opponents are sure that the necessary 67 votes cannot be secured and the friends of the reform measures have come to about the same conclusion, in any event they have no chance in -the—Senate; - - - - —* - Baker Fights 'for Indian Equality. Speaker Baker went down on the floor of the House to fight for an amendment to the Martz liquor bill, which would allow the sale of liquor to Indians on the same footing, as any other person. Speaker Baker declared that a Chinaman, or a negro, or the person of any other race could purchase liquor, but that a man, although he might be practically white, but have a touch of Indian blood, is not given an equal footing with the white man. The amendment was lost, however. 8aloons to Open on Holidays. The Martz bill, which allows saloons to keep open on New Year's, Washington's birthday, Lincolnfs •biilhday, CollfTnbus day. special eiec tion days and on general election days after the polls close, has passed the.House committee of the whole and seems sure to pass the legislature. The only amendment made in the House was to more clearly define the meaning of "general election day." Scott Gets Normal School. Senator F. D. Scott has succeeded in shoving through the Senate the Townsend Not an Insurgent. Senator Townsend addressed the House on Tuesday and frankly told the members that he was not an insurgent. He said that the east was too conservative and the west too radical, but that Michigan stood for wise but slow progression and that that was the attitude he intended to assume in the Senate. While he did not mention it in his speech, when questioned he said that he was in favor of reciprocity. Houses Peeved at Each Other. The two houses are peeved at each other. Over In the Senate the Senate has been quietly passing House bills for the day so as to give consideration to Senate measures first. The House got wise and immediately started to retaliate by passing Senate bills for the day. Then they both got busy and patched things up and are considering bills in their regular order, but are still angry. Central Board to Die. A roll has been made of the Senate which shows that even if the central board bill passes the House it has no chance on the other side of the capltol. There are 23 senators openly against the measure and only three who will say they are for it, the others being non-committal. Many Bills Being Passed. With the end in sight both house* are getting away at a tremendous rate and the bills are pouring through each day. Although it got started late, the legislature is going to be well up with the total number of bills passed, although by far the most ot them are not rery Important. Murths to Start Suit.

E TOWS IN BRIEF; T H E DEPUTY, A N T I C I P A T I N G LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE'S REPORT. SENDS RESIGNATION. WARDEN MAY A L 8 0 RESIGN, T R U E TO HIS T H R E A T , "IF MY BROTHER LEAVES, 1 LEAVE." Majority and Minority Reports Agree in Demanding Will Russet's Resignation and Abolition of Contracts. Deputy Warden Wm. Russell, of Marquette prison, brother of Warden Jas. Russell, and superintendent of one of the prison factories, has tendered his resignation. He thus anticipates the report of the entire legislative committee, which will demand his resignation, although he gives ill health as his reason for resigning. If Warden Russell carries out the threat he made to the committee while they were in Marquette he, too, will resign with his brother in the course of a few days. The resignation was brought out today at the first meeting of the legislative committee and it relieves the members of the necessity ot passing on the criticism that has been directed against the deputy warden. "If my brother leaves Marquette I leave, too," is the statement that Warden Russell made to some of the legislators. Now that the deputy has quit the resignation of the warden is expected. l ne reptJri or tue coiuroriiee to^ w made public next week will be in two parts. The minority will demand the resignation of both Russelts and the abolishment of corporal punishment. The majority will demand the abolition of contracts and the resignation of Will Russell. Both reports will agree that all the present contracts at the prison should be annulled and will recommend an appropriation of $25,000 to purchase machinery with which to carry on the wofk.

"Leave flag and sword as it is," he wrote, "and, as I am slowly lowered into the grave, let them be lifted and presented to my son." The directions were carried out to the letter. Can Draw Pay For Seven Days. In an opinion handed down the supreme court sustained the right of the officers and employes of the leg* islature to draw pay for seven days a week, which will relieve the stress under which employes have worked without pay since the session opened. In apposing the claim of the employes the attorney-general's department contended that the state blue law prohibiting work on Sunday precluded the employes drawing pay for that day of the week, but the court says the legislators, since time Immemorial, have drawn pay for seven days, and on that theory the employes are also entitled to their salary. It 1B also pointed out that emergencies might arise which would require the legislature to hold a session on Sunday and require the services of the staff of employes. Approximately 120,000 is due the employes. STATE BRIEFS. Charles T. ChaRin, 69, pioneeir Michigan editor, died in Cadillac. He left the widow a n d ^ daughter.

"Suddenly he heard a groan. He listened intently, but all was still. The silence was uncanny. Now thoroughly frightened, Howard cautiously groped his way about, trying to find the electric button. He had no Idea what time it was. It must he very late. What an ass hewas to drink so much! He wondered whaf Annie would say when he didn't return. He was a hound to let her sit up and worry like that. Well, this would be a lesson to him—it was the last time he'd ever touch a drop. Of course, he had promised her the same thing a hundred times before, but this time he meant It. His drinking was always getting him into some fool scrape or other. He was gradually working his way along the room, when suddenly he stumbled over something on the floor. It was a man lying prostrate. Stooping, he recognized the figure. "Why—it's Underwood!" he exclaimed. At first he believed his classmate was asleep, yet considered it strange that he should have selected so uncomfortable a place. Then it occurred to him that he might be ill. Shaking him by the shoulder, he cried: "Hey, Underwood, what's the matter?" No response came from the prostrate figure. Howard stooped lower, to see better, and accidentally touching Underwood's face, found it clammy and wet. He held his hand up in ^CHARLES KLEIN ^ ILUjytUXTWSTT^HAy WALTERS Y coprwcirr, i»09, erf G.W.

The pistol display was highly theatrical, but It was only a bluff. You've no more Idea of taking your life than I have of taking mine. I was foolish to come here. I might have apared myself the humiliation of this clandestine interview. Goodnight!" She went toward the door. Underwood made no attempt to follow her. In a hard, strange voice, which he scarcely recognised a« his own, he merely said; : "Is that all you have to say?" 1 "Ye*»l replied Alieia, as she turned at the door..

Death is better than going to jail. What good is life anyway without money? Just a moment's nerve and it will all be over." Opening the drawer in the.de.sk, he took out the revolver again. He turned it over In his hand and regarded fearfully the polished surface of the instrument that bridged life and death. He had completely forgotten Howard's presence in the room. On the threshold of a terrible dded, his thoughts were leagues away. Like a man who is drowning, and close to death, he saw with surprising distinctness a kaleidoscopic view of his past life. He saw himself an innocent, impulsive school boy, the pride of a devoted mother, the happy home where he spent his childhood. Then came the association with bad companions, the first step in wrongdoing, stealing out of a comrade's pocket in school, the death of his mother, leaving home~~- with downward progress until he gradually drifted into his present dishonest way of living. What was the good of regrets? He could not recall his mother to life. He could never rehabilitate himself among decent men and women. The world had suddenly become too small for him. He must go, and quickly. J. Fingering the pistol nervously, he sat before the mirror and placed it against his temple. The cold steel gave him a sudden shock. He wondered if it would hurt, and if there would be instant oblivion. The glare of the electric light In the room disconcerted him. It occurred to him that It would be easier in the dark. Reaching out his arm, he turned the electric button, and the room was immediately plunged Into darkness, except for the moonlight which entered through the windows, imparting a ghostly aspect to the scene. On the other side of the room, behind -the screen, a red glow from the open fire fell on the sleeping form of Howard Jeffries. Stowly deliberately, Uhdarwoodl raised the pistol to bis tempi© and tired, ,,-r the moonlight and saw that it was covered with blood. Horror-stricken, he cried: "My God?~~ He's bleeding—he's hurt!" What had happened? An accident —or worse? Quickly he felt the "man's pulse. It had ceased to beat. Underwood was dead. For a moment Howard was too much overcome by his discovery to know what to think or do. What dreadful tragedy could have happened? Carefully groping along the mantelpiece, he at last found the electric button and turned on the light. There, stretched out on the floor, lay Underwood, with a bullet hole in his left temple, from which blood had flowed freely down on his full-dress CHAPTER VIII. "Hello! Whafs that?M Startled out of his Gargantuan slumber J y the revolver's loud report, Howard sat up with a jump and rubbed his eyes. On the other side, of the screen, concealed from his observation, there was a heavy crash of coward enough to write a letter like j a body falling with a chair—then all this Jias the courage-to carry out his was quiet. threat" Stuffing the letter back into her bag, she added: / 1 should have thrown it in the waste-paper basket, but jon second thoughts, I think I'll keep It Good-night" "Good-Bight" echoed Underwood mechanically. ..:••• .-..

YeZ^he r e M e d that oerfectl^weli ThenMhe.aad shirt. It was a ghastly sight. The man's white, set face, covered with a crimson stream, made a repulsive spectacle. On the floor near the body was a highly polished revolver, still smoking. Howard's first supposition was that burglars had entered the place and that Underwood had been killed while defending hi9 property. He remembered now that in his drunken sleep he had heard voices in angry altercation. Yet why hadn't he. called for assistance? Perhaps he had and he hadn't heard him. He looked at the clock, and was surprised to find it was not yet raidnight. He believed it was at least five o'clock in the morning. It was evident that Underwood had never gone to bed. The shooting had occurred either while the angry dispute was going on or after the unknown visitor had departed. The barrel of the revolver was still warm, showing that it could only have been discharged a few moments before. Suddenly it flashed upon him that Underwood might have committed suicide. But it was useless to stand there theorizing. Something must be done. He must alarm the hotel people or call the police. He felt himself turn hot and cold by turn as he realized the serious predicament in which be himself was placed. If he aroused the hotel people they wpuld And him here alone with a dead man. Suspicion would at once be directed at him, and it might be very difficult for him to establish his innocence. Who Would believe that he could have fallen asleep in a bed while a man killed himself in the.same room? It sounded preposterous. The wisest course for him would be to get away before anybody came. Quickly he picked up his hat and made for the door. Just as he was about to lay hand on the handle there was the click of a latchkey. Thus headed rfff, and not knowing what to dp, he halted in painful suspense. TJhe door opened and a man entered. .: He looked as surprised to see Howard as the latter was to see him. He was clean-shaven and neatly dressed, Jyat did not lookf the gentleman. His appearance was rather that of a servtaftt AH thee" details flatbed before Howard's mind before he blurted out: "Who the devil are your | The man looked astonished at the question and' eyed his interlocutor closely, as if in doubt as to his identity. In a cockney accent' he said loftily: "I am Ferris, Mr. Underwood's man, sir." Suspiciously, he added:+"Are you a friend of Mr. Underwood's, sir?" He might well ask the question, for Howard's disheveled appearance and ghastly face, still distorted by terror, was anything but reassuring. Taken by surprise, Howard did not know what to say, and like most people questioned at a disadvantage, he answered foolishly: "Matter? No. What makes you think anything is the matter r Brushing past the man* he added: "It's lata. I'm going." "Stop a minute!" cried the man servant There was something in Howard's maimer .that he did not -like. Pasting qoiekly into the sitting room, ha celled out: "Stop a minuter Btrt did not sten. Terror g*v* down the first staircase when ho heard shouts behind him. "Murder! Stop thief! Stop that man! Stop that man!" There was a rush of feet and hum of voices, which made Howard run all the faster. He leaped down four steps ate a time In his anxiety to get away. But it was no easy matter descending so many flights of stairs. It took him several minutes to reach the muiu floor. By this time the whole hotel was aroused. Telephone calls had quickly warned the attendants, who had promptly sent for the police. By the time Howard reached the main entrance he was intercepted, by a mob too numerous to resist. Things certainly looked black for him. As he sat, white and trembling, under guard in a corner of the entrance hall, waiting for the arrival of the police, the valet breathlessly gave the sensational particulars to the rapidly growing crowd of curious onlookers. He had taken his usual Sunday out and on returning home at midnight, as was his custom, he had let himself in with his latchkey. To his astonishment he had found this man, the prisoner, about to leave the premises. His manner and remarks were so peculiar that they at once aroused his suspicion. He hurried into the apartment and found his master lying dead on the floor in a pool of blood. In his hurry the assassin had dropped his revolver, which was lying near the corpse. As far as he could see, nothing had been taken from the apartment. Evidently the man was disturbed at his work and, when suddenly surprised, had made the bluff that he was calling on Mr. Underwood. They had got the right man, that Wasceflam" He~was'"caught red-" handed, and in proof of what he said, the valet pointed to Howard's rigW band, which was still covered with blood. "How terrible!" exclaimed a woman bystander, averting her face. "So young, too!" "It's all a mistake, T tell you. It's all a mistake," cried Howard, almost panic-etricken. "I'm a friend of Mr. Underwood's." "Nice friend!" sneered an onlooker, "Tell that to the police," laughed another. "Or to the marines!" cried a third. , "It's the chair for his'n!" opined a fourth. By this time the main entrance hall was crowded with people, tenants ftnri n a a s f l r a h v — a t t r a c t e d , h v t h p unwonted commotion. A scandal In high life is always caviare, to the sensa tion seeker. Everybody excitedly in quired of his neighbor: "What is it? What's the matter?" Presently the rattle of wheels was heard and, a heavy vehicle driven furi ously, drew up at the sidewalk with a jerk. It was the police patrol wagon, and in it were the captain ol the precinct and a half dozen policemen and detectives. The crowd pushed forward to get a better view of the burly representatives of the law as. full of authority, they elbowed their way unocremonlousily through the throng. Pointing to the leader, a big man in plain clothes, with n square, determined jaw and a bulldog face, they whispered one to another: "That's (.'apt. Clinton, chief 'of the precinct. He's a terror. It'll go hard with any prisoner he gets in his clutches!" Followed by his uniformed myr midons, the police official pushed his way to the corner where sat Howard, dazed and trembling, and still guarded by the valet and elevator boys. "What's the matter here?" demanded the captain gruffly, and looking from Ferris to the white-faced Howard. The valet eagerly told his story: "I came home at midnight, sir, and found my master, Mr. Robert Under wood, lying dead in the apartment, shot through the head." Pointing tc Howard, he added: "This man was in the apartment trying to get away. You see his hand is still covered with Wood." Capt. Clinton chuckled, and expand Ing his mighty chest to its fullest, licked his chops with satisfaction. This was the opportunity he had been looking for—a sensational murder io a big apartment hotel, right in the very heart of his precinct! Nothing could be more to his liking. It was a rich man's murder, the beBt kind to attract attention to himaelf. The sensational newspapers would be full of the case.

Concealing, ai well as he could, his satisfaction, he drew himself up and, with blustering show of authority, Immediately took command of the situation. Turning to a police sergeant at his side, he said: "Maloney, this fellow may have had an accomplice. Take four officers and watch everx exl\ from the hotel.

JtaiMD * . « j " HEY were both -minora sad * owned claims on the same gulch, but were -neither friends nor well acquainted; otherwise there probably would have been no Maripoaa War, to paaa down In district legend, even though It escaped the 'light of school histories. But there was a war, as any man in Mariposa will testify. Bill Thompson stood six feet three In his stocking feet, and wasn't given to much conversation. He owned Number Four on MaripoBa, had good ground, and worked it well. Jim Tipton owned Number Two on the same 'creek, but didn't work it, save for as- • sessment, because he bad another ; good piece of ground across the low divide, on Goldpan, where he held forth. They were about the same age, and neither of them had any bad habits—that is, so far as any one in the camp ever knew. Maybe this was •one reason why they weren't well known. A man has to, have some bad habits in order to be what is gener- •ally called "popular." The war was caused by two women* a bulldog, and a claim. Tbe claim was Number Three, on MaripoBa, which stood between their stakelines, and had /sfnoe been owned and worked by Old Bill Banks. Old Bill had a good ,piece of aground, a waterright, and a hydraulic plant. Being a man who preferred telling about what he was going to do in preference to •showing what he had done, he got just about that far and quit. He died. His heirs put Number Three in tbe hands of an eastern agent, who has since changed his home address, and perhaps his name. Anyhow, it's a certainty he never came West, where several of the boys wanted to meet him and give him a reception. He knew the kind of reception it would h e . a n d Wftjm't anxlnim, Slaters, let L«t us take uous ra pllal cbee* uinp t*haed m -dinoeinsg. ; WL*et aurse. snhootw b ethbined h tuhlkein taim* em*.e n-folk It had sounded rather inspiriting then when read -at "The Woman'a Saturday Advancement Club," but when put to the test Its ringing turned to pitiable tinkllngs. She deeided she would nave to have help. So it was that one night she took Bill's advice. He Agreed to hire a man for her, let tbe man live at bis cabin, and "kinder boss the Job." The hiring wasn't eaay, as men were scarce in those days in Mariposa— that is, men who would work for daywages; but Bill, hired an ancient miner whose chief claim to notice was that he complained about most everything in sight, from the way the willows grew on the creek to his daily rheumatism. They -called him "Doc," because he had never been a doctor, but bad taken more patent medicines than any other man on the Big Divide, and titles dont count much, after all in bydraulicking. That latter part he understood, and rn a few days more there might *e heard each morning the mighty rush of weHdirected waters on Number Three. glie I1 and Miss Esmerelda did learn one thing about mining, though. She knew how to clean up the sluices and treasure the gold that came in inviting yellow grains between tbe riffles. So, before 'long, affaire on Mariposa 'were prosperous and pleasant. There came a day, as before, when the stage came up with a jerk before the-Palace Hotel, and as if in repetition, dumped out another woman who didn't have much luggage and was not alone. She was accompanied by about the ugliest brindle bulldog that ever came west of the Rockies. She rtepped out with a self-confident air, glowered unabashed at the men who gaped at her. and paid to the proprietor of the Palace: "Here, vr ' Hnnlr rmtn ih*m thlnffg wherein she was happy. He knew thai it was non« of his business, but, somehow, after «11, it seemed his fight. ' He would run a bluS for Esmerelda. • .- "Oh* the girl that's i e a / s got the papers, all right, Jim/' he said, "She* got the papers. Besides, she's told me all abopt it, an' I know it'a on the square. There ain't nobody got no rlghta to this claim but Esmerelda Brown." Now, Jim Tipton was a man of strong opinions himself, and was of an inquiring turn of mind, needing to have proof for any assertion made with such confidence. Tbe bluff didn't work, and before Bill could interfere he bad turned to Esmerelda and asked to see the papers. Esmerelda, being truthful, at once said the papers were in a safe-deposit vault back in Iowa. "Bill," Jim said, "this ain't my funeral, but 1 reckon this girl ain't got no papers, and Mrs. Tlbbets has. So this here girl's got to go." Bill felt his hair raise. This was too much. First because he feit himself to be Esmerelda's only champion, and, second, because Esmerelda's word had been doubted, whjch was beyond endurance. Big as he was, and, therefore, according to tbe rules of size, good-natured, he flashed out, like a piece of fuse that has been overdrled. "Got to go, has she? Well, not while I'm here, my bucko. She don't go till 1 say so, an' I ain't done none so much talkin' about it yet. I ain't a-huntln' trouble, but it's a-goin' to take an officer to show me why she's got to git off Number Three." He advanced as he talked, until he faced Jim, who stood bis ground squarely and unafraid. It's probable the war would have broken out then had not Mrs. Mirandy, with good Judg- Blll went to his cabin so full of trouble that be couldn't Bleep, and down in the camp Jim was entertained, by Mrs. Tlbbets until he was ready to die for her, if it came to a question of right and title. Two day*' *n»isiieo wont-by, B4U and Doc awaiting events and Jim puzzling his head over the advice of lawyers, who always wanted a little further time to look into the case, and used Latin terms which he couldn't understand. The next day he took a trip to his own claim, but instead of working, crawled up on the ridge to see what was doing on Mariposa. Everything was as usual, the trees standing silent, the shadows crawling with regularity along the canon wall, and the big giant down below r' >ping and tearing away at the earth. This last was too much. Jim hurried back across tbe divide and then down to the camp, where, on the following day, he expostulated with the lawyers. "I tell you," he said, banging his fist on the nearest table, "this law game's all right, but it ain't the way to handle a feller or a woman, either, that's jumped a claim." "Easy, easy," urged the lawyer. "Easy be damned! Can't you see they're a-workin' the mine all the, time, and agettln' out pay while you're radgin' around here and doin' nothin'?" Then he tore madly out of the shanty, walked gloomily around the camp for a while, and decided to~t*Ik to his protegee. She bad taken to tears by this time, and that strengthened his resolution. He went to bed resolved that on the morrow he would end the law's delay, conduct the affair acooroTng to his own' codeT and force a settlement. It was barely daylight when he rode up the Mariposa trail, followed out and be saw his antagonist still unhurt, be cursed bis luck and turned back down the trail, knowing that in a mere physical contest he would be no match for that giant above, who was also hurrying to his cabin for more cartridge*. So the war ended that day, and Jim went under tbe camp surgeon's care to wait until bis wounded arm healed. Four days of waiting passed on Number Three, in which time Bill carefully cleaned up his rifle each "morning, and passed the day with Doc, who was a trifle iaconvenienced from the effects of the bullet which had glanced along his skull but had brought no more serious injury. Then the mail came, bringing with it the missing deed for the property duly signed, attested and recorded back in Iowa, and Bill felt greater confidence. This was broken in upon by the sheriff. It was well along in the afternoon when the officer arrived with a posse sufficient to make It interesting for the most desperate man in tbe range, and by his side triumphantly rode Jim Tipton, with MB arm in a sling. Bill grinned maliciously at this evidence of his marksmanship, and with a nonchalant air chewed a pine-spill as the posse came to a halt in front of the cabin. "Bill," the Bheriff opened, "1 think you're on the wrong trail.

Bill's expression of confidence waned, and be thought of his gun. "Deeds, deeds," he growled, In a surprised tone. "If you've got a deed, Hank, I'd like to see it. We've got one, too."

She talked fo^'a minute with the proprietor of the\Falace Hotel, which really wasn't a palace, and he called Bill Thomp- •Ofjtvover from where he bad been thogwlng supplies on the back of a mountain buckboard he always had wlfjen getting an outfit. tBill," he said, "this Is Miss Kstne; r-elda Brown.

She was willing to stay till she made it, even if It •did take a couple of months. Bill thought probably It would take that long, anyway. He didn't tell her he had been mining for twenty years, and hadn't made it yet. They drove away past the flats, and op where the timber grows big, and fine, stately* and tbe farther they drov* (the more confidential ahe got And tilt more certain Bill was that sbe hart «oite a little to learn about the West.

She was business, all right, and she knew woman's rights and Mrs. Pinkbam from A to Z. Sbe made folks step around lively, and, partly because he was afraid of her, and partly because he didn't want to work, the landlord "slutted her off" on Jim Tip ton. She started in to boss Jim from the minute she met him, but he wasn't the kind to be bossed. He sized her up critically, and decided, as he afterward said, tbat if she were "well halter-broke and taught not to tangle her picket-rope, sbe wouldn't be a bad one to own." So he called her down. • "Look here. Mrs. Mirandy," he Bald, with his soft drawl, "I don't know nothin' about wimmen's rights, nor none of them things, so don't give me none of your guff on that line, You ain't got no soft snap buttin' up agin' you. There's a woman a-workin' Number Three now, an' she says she owns it. Bf you've got the goods, it's your'n. Ef you ain't you've been bunked, an' somebody's peddled you a brick. Now. let's git down to. business." ' ' That took her down some. She looked at Jim for a minute, as if *a* thought of sicking the dog on him, ut he didn't look tbe kind to be afraid. They stared into each other's eyes for about a moment, and from then on she belonged to James Tipton: She was a widow, and underood men. After that they got on amicable terms, and It wasn't very long until Jim was involved in all the trouble about Number Three. He pacified her as best be could, and told her that on the following day he would take her up to the claim and try to get the tangle straightened, out. Tbe sun was shining, the birds singing, and everything bright and gay, when they came up to Number Three on the following morning, heard the boom of the hydraulic, and tbe singing notes of a woman's voice, PPC was hard gt work, grumbling to. himself as usual, and BUI was just coming down tbe trail when the v^ai* tors arrived. It all looked peaceful and very little like war. "Morning'." said Jim, after stopping his horses,"-• " "Mornin*," answered Bill, coming to a halt and looking at them. He confessed after that he thought by the way Jim assumed proprietorship over the woman and the bulldog that be owned them both. Jim calmly climbed down from his backboard, after throwing tbe reins to Mrs.,Mirandy, and sauntered forward. Tbe singing inside the cabin bad stopped, and Esmerelds stood In tbe doorway, looking with wonderment on the meeting. Bin," began Jim, "there's somethin' bed about this deal out here on Three.

And Jim, being under her arms, and a4itUe surprised, and a little slow^ allowed himself to be tolled off to the buckboard and back to camp As tbe buckboard went wobbling off down the trail in a cloud of dust, Bill's big fists relaxed, and he turned toward the weeping girl In tbe doerway.

Tbe bull landed about SO feet up the bank, caught his breatb, tucked his tall between, his legs, and made a speed record for the camp. But, in the meantime, things were doing with Jim snd Doc.

The report had barely died away when tbere came another "Bang" from up tbe gulch, where Bill bad appeared on tbe scene.

He looked at the two papers agsin, and softly swore at the agent who had sold the property twice for the same amounts of money, and with different sets of witnesses. It was too much for him. "I reckon tbere ain't nothin' to do but to take both these documents back to the, court," he finally said, "but I don't think it's a square deal for you to keep your giants a-workin' on the bank.

Then came several days of waiting, , with nearly every one ia the camp / making bets as to which one of t b e / contestants would win out at tbe vm encounter, snd all expectant and 4rgumentative. The result ef this was that pretty nearly every man in Maripoaa batf taken sides, and was ready if it cam* to a final settlement,to enlist actively in the war. Sympathies were about evenly divided, and things were quiet at night because nearly all the partisans were busily engaged in the back ends of tbeir cabins cleaning np> their weapons, It promised to bowarm. Both Jim and the widow had disappeared from the rude public gaze, and were said to have gone to Burdlck to consult other lawyers. Bill was reported te be too busy nursing Doe and guarding Number Three to appear in the camp; and only the bulldog was left to howl dismally in an improvised kennel until, his mlstreaa should rail for him. And ia the meantime the lawyers were busy, and fussy, and important, most of them being very young meal or very old men who bad come to the West because their talents didn't seem to be In demand elsewhere. The break came unexpectedly/ A man cm horseback, partisan or the Bill-E?merelda faction, pulled/up one afternoon in front of Bill's cabin and hailed. Bill came to the/door and peered out, his fingers clatched on sr rifle-barrel behind the door until ho could recognize the character of reception awaiting him./ "Bill," the rider said, throwing one leg over the pommel \pf his saddle and dexterously rolling\a cigarette, "Jim's back from up at Burdlck, but he ain't got nothin' to say. He jest naterally came In on the stage with> that widder of hls'n, acted grouchy aa usual, and pulled out with her for hia claim over on Goldpan." "Yes?" said Bill, emerging from tbe> door and looking disconsolately at hie friend. "Thought I'd better come by an' tell you, HOB you can keep oc ( t h e lookout.

This was the limit. Bill walked up and down and thought out a solution which resulted in a trip to camp by (he now recovered Doo on the following morning. It was late on the following evening when Hill, contented and whlsfr. ling, his mind made up, crashed through the brush on the hillside of Goldpan, and came cautiously down Ipio the flat in front of Jim's cabin. He was wise as to the frontier, and being on an errand of peace, came unarmed and ostentatiously whistling; and swinging his idle hands. Jim saw him, made a quick reach for his gun, and then slowly dropped his fingers away at the evident signs of amity. He advanced to meet hia enemy, and waited quietly for him to approach within speaking distance. "Hello, there, Jim," said Bill, and. without waiting for a return of hi* salutation, continued: "I've got noshoot In'-Irons on my belt and no 111- will in my head. I've come to be> friends with you, Jim, if you'll let roe," Jim paused a moment and peered) at him from under hia heavy gray eyebrows, and then, as-it satisfied, extended his hand, which was tightly gripped. They stood awkwardly for a moment, each waiting for words* and then Bill continued. "I come to tell you I don't want tbe Number Three if I've got to fight for it, You can tell the widder she. can have it. Esmereldy nor me aint goin' to fight for it no more, and we> don't want to be bad friends wltb. either you or Mrs. Tlbbets." A slow grin overspread Jim's taeev "The widder don't wsnt lt», either.

And, it may be added, for all that the people of the republic take a keen interest in invention as becomes the greatest inventive nation on the globe, very few of our citizens have any intimate knowledge of the machinery which the federal government maintains „• for examining inventions and granting patent?.. This ^comparative ignorance of the facilities and methods of the government institution that devotes Itself to inventions Extends even to a majority of inventors themselves—the hundreds of thousands of men and women who are either - engaged 4&-inventive work today or have, at some time in the past, exercised their nimble brains in an effort to devise something that would be v Jan Improvement upon the existing state or 'things. That even interested parties are thus in the dark is due to the fact that the patent business of the country is largely In the hands of 'attorneys—special lawyers who devote themjeelves exclusively to this line of practice. Nine men out of ten who evolve an invention and desire jto have it patented soon come to realize that the operation is an intricate one, requiring special (knowledge, and so they turn the work over to {some one of these go-betweens and have nothing more to do with the matter until they get the coveted parchment a year or two years hence and pa#.()^e bill, which may be 375 or $100, if clrcum- 4 8t»ncef~,warrant, for you know getting a patent is not e^Actly a cheap operation.

This Institution has for many years past occupied a portion of the building of the department of the interior at Washington and since the volume of inventions pouring In to be considered as candidates for patents has steadily Increased year by year it has naturally followed that the present quarters are hopelessly inadequate. In order to make room the authorities a few years ago arranged to get rid of the theag&nda of original models of old inventions which had accummulated In the days when it was necessary to send a working model as well as.drawings with an application for a patent. But this was by no means a complete solution for the problems. The patent office must needs file and keep on permanent record the papers in every patent case, and these have been piling up at such a rate in recent years that it Is a grave problem how and where to store them In such fashion that they can readily he brought to light when needed for reference—- as in the case of the lawsuits .that are always growing out of patents on fnvenUQjUt. „...„ However, there are other branches of our national government that need new buildings just as mnch as does the patent office, amMhis brings us to"tno'novel argument that Is being advanced in behalf of the patent office being granted a new home In advance of all others. It Is being pointed out to congress that the patent office is one government institution, and almost the only one, that Is self-sustaining. For other activities Uncle Sam has to go' down In his pocket, or rather the people do through the medium of taxes. I& maintaining the patent office, however, the inventors and they alone "pay the freight" What' is more, not only la this bureau for inventors self-supporting, but it actually returns a profit, or in other words, it has oh hand a surplus at the end of each year after all expenses have been paid. This net surplus has been piling up in the United States treasury until it now amounts to about 17,000,000, and ft is this money-, or such part of it as may be necessary, that it is desired to have expended for a jBejR*Jnftldlng for the patent office. As is well known, we Americans are the greate* t nation of inventon in the world. About a miiUQtf United States patents have been granted, , the, aggregate number of foreign patents by all4 foreign countries combined has f t b ttate to only about two million pat> e*ts.

Next comes the District of Columbia and then California, Washington, Nevada, Colorado and other western states. The present commissioner of patents, Mr. Edward B. Moore, Is one of the ablest administrators who has ever been at the head of this branch of the government. It has been his aim and ambition to expedite in every manner possible the examinations of all applications for patents presented— thereby enabling the quick issuance of patents whose novelty if not validity can in time be guaranteed by the government. This will do away with the criticisms of the patent office for its "slowness" in passing upon patents, and it will also do away with a large amount of the litigation which now devolves upon inventors by being drawn Into, suits for Infsingmenta, etc. In line with these improved methods there is now in progress a "classification" of all the material in the patent office. This means the systematic classification of all the material through which the patent office's expert examiners have to search when - they are passing upon the applications of inventors. When this vast accummulation of data is arranged for ready reference It will enable the Issuing of patents more quickly after applications are- received than has ever heretofore been possible and, more important ^et, it will give to every patent issued a greater guarantee of validity than Is possible now when such a document is issued following what may eventually be proven to have been/an incomplete "search," in which the examiner Inadvertantly overlooked or failed to find an earlier patent on a similar invention. The work of* the patent office is carried on through the medium of some #alf hundred different divisions, each devoted to some one class of inventions, such as carriage and wagons, or firearms, or harvesters, or typewriters. At the head of each of these divisions is a principal examiner who is a specialist In his particular field, and ha is assisted by one or more experts who have made a life study of the particular section of the inventive field to which they are assigned. Many of these men- have been in their, present positions for twenty or thirty years and have at their finger tips everything connected with the history and development of invention in their espectlve spheres, and yet Uncle Sam gets the services of these experienced anthorities for salaries that in most cases do not exceed $1,800 to $2,000 por year. In each division there is a force of clerical workers who file the drawings which must be n/esented with evsfy patent appUeatlon la lien of the small working models which*.were once required. These clerical, workers also, have to , stamp the date, and hoar of the reeeipt of e m r ; > jwre/t? o&ycs ' patent application, and this little detail often becomes » matter of the greatest importance when two or more men discover the same invention at ubout thff same time. Indeed, in the case of certain of our most valuable inventions, such as tiie telephone, more than one man hit on the ~TcIc7T STnTuTtaneously, but the wealth that lay in wait for the lucky inventor went to the man who won in^the race to the patent office. It is because of this keen rivalry that inventors all over the country are welcoming the present movement to issuo patents more quickly. In days gone by inventors have in some instances had to "mark time" for years before they could get their patents, and this not only did an injustice to the inventor and to the workmen who might have been employed meanwhile in manufacturing the new product, but it also deprived the public at large of the benefit of new discoveries designed to benefit it In one way or another. In an average year there are upward of twice RS many applications for patents as are granted. Some of the thing3 upon which patents are sought are not patentable, and in many instances it is a case of "another fellow found it first." The patent office officials tell many really pathetic stories of men In fsolated localities who have devoted years of hard work to working out some invention— ignorant all the while that some other person had gone over the same ground, worked out the invention and secured a patent, perhaps many years before. The number of new patents keeps well ahead of the number of patents that expire, the latter totaling in the ordinary, year not more than two-thirds as many as theVe are new patents issued. One hundred to two hundred patents are also reissued each year. Each applicant for a patent must pay to the government a fixed fee of $35, but if his application is made through an attorney—as is the case in most instances as above explained—-the total expense ere an inventor secures his coveted protection on his brain-child is lively to he at least double the amount of the fee. It is sometimessaid that our American' patent ivstem fa not so effective as Is that in vogue in Germany, but certain it is that Uncle Sam's patent machinery has been the indirect means of returning greater wealth to Inventors than has been attained by the patrons of any foreign patent establishment Incldently it may be noted that there is a disposition on the part of all the leading nations of the world to get together on patent matters and to work in harmony in the issuance of patents, indeed, in late years, one of the most Important duties of the United States commissioner of patents has been that represented by negotiations in connection with international treaties on this subject, and seldom a year goes by that he does not visit one or more foreign countries In the effort to bring about a better understanding between nations on this score.

A Preaching Cross Restored. .The preaching cross in-the-village o f Burrington, situated amid romantic surroundings on the northern side of the Mendip hills, has, by the generosity of Col. Evan H. Llewellyn, been restored. It is recorded that early in 1805 the handsome fifteenth century base of the cross—all that then remained of it—was renioved and utilized in building a new house for the then parish clerk. Happily, the ornamental dial stone did not share the same fate, and this has been incorporated into its original position in the new cross. Three broad and, massive steps carry the old socket upon which rests a tall monolith shaft, which is crowned by one of those lantern-shaped ennupitm no peculiar to the west country.—From the London Standard. ^ Made Safe by Lydia E.

TO DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC PUSH BUTTON T H O U G H T T O HAVE STARTED FIRE. Priceless Relic* Are Destroyed; Mill- Ion Dollar Staircase Is Partially Destroyed. Fire swept, smoke strewn and water drenched, Xew York state's magnificent $27,000,000 capitol in Albany stands a partial wreck by flames that started in the assembly library, burned away the entire west wing and did damage estimated at ten million dollars, before the flames were declared under control, after raging for more than four hours. It is belived that the fire was started by a fused electric push button becoming electrified. The fire was discovered by a night watchman. Before the firemen reached the massive structure at the top of the capitol hill, priceless documents, books and records stored in the assembly library had been destroyed, as was also the famous million dollar staircase in the west wing. Starts on Third Floor. On the third floor, where the flames gained their start, the departments wholly or partially destroyed by fire or seriously damaged by water were: The state library, containing 400,000 volumes, among them the most valuable" genealogical" works in the United States, together with relics, priceless documents, some of them dating back to 1770, and irreplaceable. The assembly and senate libraries, stored with documents of volumes of law and code books, al§o a number of documents and manuscripts that can never be replaced. The finance committee room, in which were stored drafts of all the appropriation and other bills, of the present session. . The chamber of the president pro tem of the senate. The lieutenant-governors room, badly damaged but not wrecked. The senate and assembly chambers both flushed with water that has ruined their rich furnishings, and the ceiling of the latter hanging in wasted, and straggling shreds of half dissolve^- paper, This celling with its handsome! a&ornment is said to have cost a great sum and was one of the show sights of the capitol. Wonderful Stairs. The grand western etircase, wfrteh, was regarded as one of the most beautiful in the world, occupied the center of the western wing and consisted of an immense double stairway of Corsehill sandstone elaborately carved.

State Commissioner of Education Andrew S, Draper stated that the state library contained 000,000 volumes, 400,000 pamphlets and 300,000 historical manuscripts. Two years ago Commissioner Draper transferred from the state library proper to the safe in his office on the first floor the original emancipation proclamation, the original of Washington's farewell address, the original manuscript of the state constitution and 15 or 20 of the other priceless manuscripts, as well as all of the "Washington relics. These were all removed from the building to a place of safety when the fire started. Commissioner Draper said that most of the manuscripts that have been lost were original documents and cannot be replaced, r The early Dutch records were lost. Of the books on the state library shelves which can be duplicated In the open market today, such duplication would cost, according to Commissioner Draper, $1,- 500,000, but, he says, the other books and manuscripts, lost, because of their being rarities, are priceless. T h e loss In documents and equipment of the state library, which can be replaced, Is in the neighborhood'of $2,000,000.

The principle of no re-election for the president and other executive functionaries and effective reformation of the judiciary, and the electoral laws demanded by the rebels, were conceded in the message of President Diaz t o congress. Reforms touching the power of local and state authorities also were promised. After reviewing at length the progress of the nation during the last six months and more briefly the events leading up to the rebellion and its progress, the message continued: "Recent expressions of public opinion on vad'His questions of governmental policy have attracted general attention, and for this reason the executive deems fit to make known the measures which he believes ought to be adopted and the views by which he will, be guided in his endeavors to warrant the confidence which the country has reposed in him.

"Furthermore, measures will be taken that will demonstrate a firm purpose to give heed to reasonable complaints made against the authorities, especially those who are in closest touch with the people. "It is to be hoped that in this policy the federal government will be seconded by the governors of states, which, by reason of the administrative Instrumentalities dependign on their,, are better able to remedy the o*t\ in question.

It evokes a feeling of sympathy anu approval to learn that a movement is on foot In London for "the synchronization of public elocjta." Theoretically clocks set up for the information of the people, particularly those which bear the alluring legend "Synchroaissed Time," should agree to the minute. He who would quarrel over a second or two variation would be hypercritical, but a disagreement of minutes weakens faith and may cause the missing of trains. Yet in London the Investigations of a special committee of the British Science Guild revealed a lamentable inveracity on the the part of one or the other of the clocks, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. A week of observation along a certain line of streets reveated a mean error of two minutes, the maximum of course, much greater. In another week one clock was three minutes slow on two days, another four minutes fast on one, three minutes slow on two days, and so on through minor divagations. This is quite minor from observations right at home. We might deem it excusable for the individualist clocks In jewelers' or bank wtadows to declare their independence off the time edicts ot an overshadowing corporation; but certainly the big corporation should bring its timepieces u n d e r the-law ol_ uniformity. iTURE ENDS SHORTEST SESSION T H E W H O L E NUMBER OF WORKING DAYS WAS ONLY SEVENTY-ONE. The fact that many Americans STe active-minded and interested In many things perhaps explains why they are especially intolerant of bores. It may be said, Indeed, that this intolerance * characterizes that oft-mentioned, but never ©Yearly described person known as the average American. He is not necessarily uncivil to bores; he may be polite and courteous to thum while in their society, and the afflicting creatures may never guess that they are bores, but he is not patient with them. He escapes from their presence at the first opportunity; he evades and avoids them; he Is busy when he sees them coming, and he has urgent enfagfipionm whpn__thoy -sock to-detaln him. Possibly the Intolerant* impatient one is needlessly scornful of his tiresome friends, for they are not wilful, Intentional bores. The energetic woman of the day is even taking away man's most trusted weapon. When a Chicago professor, in a spirit of derision and contempt, called women "hens," hitherto considered one of the worst epithets to be hurled from the masculine armory, the women arose and promptly pointed out that a hen is industrious, inventive, self-reliant and, above all, a big moneymaker, and so comparison became a--compliment: The~women are triumphant and the professor speechless. A certain English feminine novelist is getting a great deal of advertising out of what she says about Americans and what she says Americans say about her. She says she will not criticise in future{ but she may if she wishes. As the big man said when his little wife beat him, it will not hurt me and it may amuse her. In fact, it is doubtful if any appreciable proportion of this big nation will know or care what the lady Is doing about it. Recently a band leader in Pennsylvania played ragtime and classical music thirty hours at a stretch on the piano.

MAKING IT T H E SHORTEST REGULAR SESSION HELD IN A GENERATION. Several Bills Rushed Through as the House and Senate Indulges in the Usual Horseplay in the Wind-Up. It was nearly 5 o'clock Tuesday when both houses closed, the business of the l a i l session. The whole number ot working days was 71, making it the shortest regular session in a generation. In the last 15 minutes a conference report was agreed to authorizing the governor to appoint a commission ot tivt\ two of whom shall be representatives of the working classes, to make a comprehensive investigation of the general subject of injured workingmen's compensation and e m p l o y e r s ' liability, and report in time for the 1^13 legislature. The final act was to adopt a resolution directing Speaker Baker to sign the payroll for all the employes up to May 2, that being the day when all bills must have been enrolled and signed or vetoed. There was a suspicion that the speaker was of the mind that employes who will have nothing to do for 10 days are not •entitled t o pay. -- The-Ostrorn Meat Ax. An .attempt to override the governor in the House of Representatives on his veto of several items of appropriation failed. The test came on a $12,000 allotment "for the-publication of collections of the Michigan Pioneer and Historical society," which the governor cut out in toto, as the work that could be done by the state librarian. Fifty-two representatives voted to pass the appropriation oxer the governor's veto and :J4 against. Sixty-seven votes were required, and after a first failure the representatives let the governor's veto stand. The proposition of a governor stepping in and clipping specific items of appropriation bills was so unusual that the representatives became involved in a tangle'over the procedure to hp fnllnwad thnt inn\t •. ] M l f l i i i n r to straighten out. Finally, for fear it might make a mistake that would invalidate the whole appropriation budget, the House sent the grist of bills back to the governor without any official action, telling him to keep them till they were out of the way and then veto at will. The appropriations cut out by the governor so far are as follows: Pioneer and Historical Society.$12,000 Mackinac Island, park (entire appropriation) 12,000 Michigan School for the Blind (remodeling building) S.900 Eastern Michigan Asylum (new building) CO,000 Compiling military records 800 Total cuts by governor to date $93,700 The appropriation bills have Just begun to come to the governor for consideration, and it is certain that he will cut out several hundred thousand dollars from the budget, as passed, before he is through. Ins/ranee Bill Is Killed. The Ashley bill, which provides for a change in the state insurance laws, whereby fraternal insurance companies operating in the state were to be placed under certain restrictions similar to the laws governing old line insurance companies, died in the Senate after several attempts had been made to have it taken from the table, where it was sent Tuesday. The etate weather bureau, which Gov. Osborn advocated the abolishment of, will remain and the fanners on the rural routes will continue to receive the benefits of the department. The Senate refused to pass the House bill which provided tor the abolishment of that department. Two-Cent Fare for U. P, The members from the upper peninsula won their fight to secure a flat two-cent passenger rate on the railroads in the upper peninsula, which will quite likely produce a law suit in the federal courts, as the railroads wm maintain that the rate is confiscatory fn that territory. Senator Mortality tfied hard to effect a compromise on a two and pnehalf- cent rate, hut he lost out by a vote of 15 to 16, three senators who had agreed t o stand by him flopping when rt came time to go on record. Special Session in December. White there is nothing official on the subject i t is understood that Gov. Osborn will call the legislature in session in December. Just on what grounds he win make the call hasn't been decided yet but he will make another effort at that time to secure the laws whi^h he advocated in his inaugural message and also to deal with the report of the special tax commission created by this legislature. Robert C. Mabey, secretary of the Muskegon Manufacturers' association, thought to have ended his life by leaping into Muskegon lake, has been heard from at his old home In Minneapolis, Minn. It is said he made an attempt on his life there after Joining his wife, and tried to stab himself with a knife. He has been removed to a private institution. Mrs. Quy Doty, whose hatband was one of two railroad men killed in a Michigan Central mine train wreck at 9t. Charles last fall, settled her suit for $30,000 afaicst the Michigan Central for 12,600. WHAT THE LEGISLATURE DID A glance over the work done shows a surprising lot of good Jeftiblatioq coming from a body .which Xor weeks did nothing but squabble and give every appearance of being able to accomplish nothing. But here are some of the big things the legislature did. Reorganized the military and naval departments, cutting out the superfluous gold braid and placing these departments upon regular army bjtsts.' Straightened out some of the kinks in the primary law, setting the date of the fall primary back into the last week in August, to avoid collision with Labor day, as was the condition last fall, and in general bettering the act. Amended the home rule act to permit of the recall and initiative in city charters. Abolished several useless but expensive jobs. Passed a bill regulating express rates. Gave the state tax commission power to go into any county and raise th-e assessed valuation; Passed a 2-cent fare law for upper peninsula railroads. Repealed the mortgage tax law. Passed a bill providing a uniform system of accounting in state and county. ^ Created the state board of equalization. passed a bill prohibiting the use of tracing stamps in Michigan. Gave to the railroad commission greater powers and duties. Passed a hill providing an interchange of telephone and telegraph service. Passed a bill regulating the hunting of game. Created a commission to investigate and report upon the tax system. _ Create4- a. commission to investU gate and report on employers' liability acts. Placed Michigan's O. K. on the amendment to the federal constitution for an income tax. Passed a joint resolution favoring the constitutional amendment to provide for the direct election of United States senators. Passed a bill providing for a specific tonnage tax on vessels hailing from ^Michigan ports. Improved the good roads laws. Established a central board of control for all penal and reformatory institutions. Created the office of state fire marshal. Passed bills requiring experienced crews on railroads. Passed bills to strengthen the construction of cars on railroads. Passed a hill t" tflt minni'n1 »" • serve lands. Passed bills to foster the care of wood lots on farms. These are but a few of the great mass of bills passed, but they are the principal ones and a perusal of the message of the governor will show that the great bulk of his recommendations have been carried out. A considerable number of other measures of vast importance to Michigan did not pass, but in many instances they made such headway as to make it look as if they might pass another session of the legislature. These are some of them: The initiative, referendum and recall passed the House and lacked but a few votes of a majority in the Senate. Women's suffrage lacked but 13 voees of passing the House, twothirds being necessary to carry it. Workingmen's compensation act passed the House. Tonnage tax passed the House and made a strong showing in the Senate. Civil service bill was introduced in the Senate, but killed there, Placing of the game warden's department under a joint fish and same commission passed the Senate, but failed in the House. These also are but a few of the important measures which made an appearance, but failed for one reason or another to become a law. ARMISTICE AND PLANS FOR PEACE MAKING ARE IN PROGRESS. T A F T AND HIS CABINET NOW BELIEVE THERE W E L L BE NO NEED OF I N T E R V E N T I O N Exchange of Compliments Shows Both United States and the Mexican Government Are in Friendly Mood. President Porfirio Dia/., reports say, is to resign May 5, the anniversary of the battle of Puebla. The same reports- say Vice-President Corral will resign before May 1 on the plea of illhealth. The presidency will in^n-devolve on Foreign Minister de la Barniy till a new election can be held. It is believed this understanding has been or will be conveyed to Gen. Madero and that it *ill bring about peace. A long step toward: restoring tranquility in Mexico was taken. After an extended series of unofficial conferences, including the overtures of many go-betweens, General Francisco I. Madero, Jr., acknowledged leader of the insurrection, formally authorized Dr. Vasquez Gomez, his diplomatic representative in the United States, to. consummate the armistice with the federal government which in the last'few days bad been urged by mutuat friends The armistice idea has met with the approval of the Mexican government, and is a preliminary step to peace negotiations designed to adjust various' differences out of which the revolution grew. While the policy of the United •States toward events on the border has not as yet been clearly defined, the general opinion in official circles was that the amicable settlement of the .Mexican revolution would in a great' measure relieve the United States from the necessity of making any move in response to the various protests of American citizens as to the danger of border warfare. President Taft and members of his cabinet were plainly pleased to learn that peace in Mexico was in prospect and the hope was general that the economic d^vginpja^m*—&f-—_Mexico would resume its normal state DYNAMITER CONFESSES ALL Two of the " W r e c k i n g G a n g " Arrested in D e t r o i t ; M o r e Arrests W i l l Follow. Capt. Stephen Woods, chief nf the Chicago detective bureau, said f i a t a full confession had been obtained from onex>f the two men arrested in l'etroit in connection with the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building The alleged confession is said to cover 90 typewritten pages and to relate to the movements of the men now under arrest and others sought by detectives. According to Cspt. Wood, it describes in Hetail the dynamiting of buildings, railroad trains and factories, where conflicts between union and non-union labor existed. The loss of many lives and the destruction of property valued at almost 82,000,000 is said to be detailed. NEWS IN BRIEF. With the retiring of the legislature a fine bunch of politcal booms of one kind or another have been launched. First there is the gubernatorial situation. Governor Osborn will un-* doubtedly be a candidate for a second term and Secretary of State Fred C. Martindale has also announced his candidacy. It is probable, however, that if Governox_jOsborn makes the run as he probably will he will have no opposition in the primaries. In case he should not run these will be in the field for the place on the Republican side.: Fred C. Martindale, Detroit; A. E. Sleeper, state treasurer; C. L. Glasgow, state railroad commissi oner; Amos Musselman, Gr.ind Rapids; John Q. Ross, lieutenant governor, Muskegon; Patrick H. Kelley, Lansing, and possibly Truman H. Newberry of Detroit. Two members of the legislature seek the office of secretary of state. They are Senator Frank Newton, Ypsilanti; Rep. George Lord, Detroit. For state land commissioner Rep. Chambers of Gratiot county is a candidate, and so is A. C. Carton, deputy land commissioner. John M. Perry, representative from Osceola, and speaker pro tern of the House, is a candidate for state treasurer In case Sleeper does not run for the office again. Auditor General O. R. Fuller Is a candidate to succeed himself and Speaker Herbert F. Baker of Cheboygan and Doc Scidmore of Three Rivers are also after the place. Rep. Samuel OdeH of Oceana county has eyes on the senatorial nomination for that district and Rep. Fred L Woodworth of Huron aspires to a seat in the upper chamber fronv his senatorial district. Rep. Robert Y. Ogg of Detroit woald like tc move up into the upper bouse and Rep. William H. Marts aspires to go to congress If the Detroit district is divided to suit him. President Taft hap signed a proclamation setting asidi 301,360 acres of laird In Humboldt county, New, as the Santa ROM National forest. Carlists and Republicans clashed in the streets of Logrcno, Spain, and there was much bloodshed as the result of broken heads. Miss Grace Wilder, aged 50, a wellknown Presbyterian missionary, is dead in India, where she was prominent in missionary work for 25 years. , At a special meeting in Philadelphia of the stockholders of the Philadelphia & Reading ^Railway company, an increase in the capital stock of the company from $2,000,000 to $45,000,- 000 was authorized. Gov. J. M. Carey, of Wyoming./has appointed Dorothy Eunice Knight, daughter of former Chief Justice Jesse Knight, sponsor for the new battleship Wyoming, which will be launched at Philadelphia May 11. Announcement is made in Hartford, Ct., of the organization of the Hartford School of Missions, which will open next September as an interdenominational institution for giving special preparation to foreign missionaries. Fearing starvation, he says, Joseph Dziurgot spent his last 25 cents for strychnine and he and his wife ad* ministered poison to their two infant children and themselves. The mother and one child are dead. The father and other baby are In the hospital and may recover. Long illness brought the parents to desperation. They were both about 30 years old. The extent to which the telephone has encroached on the telegraph as a means of dispatching trains during 1910 is shown in a bulletin issued by the interstate commerce commission. An increase of 15,373 miles of railroad on which the telephone is used was shown during the year. January 1, 1911, the telegraph was used on 175,- 211 miles and, the telephone on 41,717 miles. . A verdict of not guilty in the Hornet, fiHouateriag—case was rendered by a Jury In New Orleans in the United States circuit court In the trial of J. W Beer, former owner and Capt. Charles Johnson, former master of the steamer Hornet, charged with violating the neutrality laws. Determined to see that the buildings, rented and occupied by the government in Washington, ar« adequately protected from fire, the subcommittee of the house committee on public building* and- grounds hat begun a sweeping Investigation into the facilities for such protection ID these buildings. RECIPROCITY PASSES HOUSE Majority of Republicans and Few Democrats Oppose Tsift's Bill. These Michigan members voted nay: Dodds, Fordney, Hamilton, Mc- Laughlin. McMorran, J. M. C. Smith, S". W. Smith and Wedemeyer—S. Reps. J.oud, "Do rem us, Sweet and Young voted yea. President Taft won a substantial victory when the house of representatives passed the Canadian reciprocity agreement by a vote of 265 to 89. The bill got 45 more votes than it did in the last session, the vote on its former passage having been 221 to 92. Seventy-eight Republicans voted against the measure. Sixty-four Republicans upheld the hand of the administration. Eleven Democrats deserted their party organization by voting against t i e administration bill reported by Rep. Underwood, of Alabama, the Democratic chairman of the committee on ways and means. , With nearly 200 Democrats in control, and their action indorsed by a large body of the Republicans, the bill to put the agreement in force was adopted with no amendments and in almost identically the form in which it passed the house in the last session of the jjreceding congress. Testate Twine Plant Rushed With Wo, k. The binder twine plant in the prison wliich is the only industry in the three state penal institutions where the convicts work for the state and not for contractors, is reveling in prosperity this season. The plant is rushed with orders. The prison contractors and their allies, after three years of relentless warfare to discredit the plant and futile endeavors to demonstrate that the correct system is to farm convict labor to contractors so they can reap big profits wrtote-the s m e p u t s ^ J p " ^ ands of dollars annually for maintenance, have quit knocking in the open. The selling price, that is, the cost to the farmers, is $6.75 per 100 pounds for cash and $7 where the purchaser is given until Oct. 1 to pay.

' Grand Rapids.—The long-espfic.ted strike of the furniture workers of Grand Rapids, which has been hanging fire for several weeks while a committee of citizens hM tried t o bring about an amicable understanding between manufacturers: a£id emr ployes, was officially declared. Theuuion men in nearly sixty factories including woodworking Bhops, . packed up their tools and walked out. .Between 6,000 and 7,000 organised workers, including varnishers and finishers, as well as cabinet-makers, carvers and woodworkers, went out. Some :5,000 other employes, who are not unionized are affectefl by the strike. The strike came to a ^ead as the result of the manufacturers' refusal in a communication to the citizens' committee of inquiry to grant any concessions to the workmen. The employes ask a ten n«r cent, increase in wages, a nine-hour day and the abolition of piecework. Saginaw.—Charles Anderson, thirty- five years old, lineman for t h e Saginaw Power company, was probably fatally injured when his hand came in contact with a live wire carrying 500 volts, while he was working at the top of a 60-foot pole on Genesee avenue. His left hand was nearly burned off and there is a hole In his cheek. Anderson hung head down,, his life belt having slipped to his knees. The anxious watchers expected to see him fall to the cement walk any minute. A fire department truck ..rafiBQjKiejL „ajid___i£moved Anderson^ from the pole. Cadillac—The Cadillac city., council voted ten licenses to saloonkeepers, the same number as last, year, and raised the license to $1,250. Alderman Kaiser believes the city charter should be followed, which w.ould allow but eight saloons. H& holds that local option did not repeal the charter provision providing for one to the thousand population and will at once seek an opinion from the attorney general.

Warner of Saginaw, Principal Jesse Davis and Coach -White of this city, and Coach Wilson of Muskegon have started war against the meets being held under the auspices of the University of Michigan in the future. Cadillac—While Arthur Sullivan stood on top of a car of ore on the dumping track at a local iron furnace, some one opened the car bottom and Sullivan and the ore fell through together. Sullivan was buried beneath the ore, butv was dug out in time to save his life. Grand Rapids.—Because the management of the Reed-Tandler Engraving company discharged six members of the photo-engraving department, all the employes of that branch of the plant walked out. Some time ago several of the men joined the union and the company wishes to conduct an open shop. Bay City.—The Excelsior Foundry company sustained a loss of from $10,000 to $15,000 through the burning of its foundry room. The pattern shops and office buildings were saved. The loss is partially covered by insurance. Sparks from the cupola of the foundry are believed to have set fire to the roof.

Aniiie sat timid-y on a chair In the background and the captain turned again to the doctor. ~ "What's that you were saying, doctor?" "You tell me the man confessed?" Crossing the room to where Howard ^^pt, Dr. Bernstein looked closely at hiof Apparently the prisoner was re«^fc—IIis eyeo were clo3cd and his head drooped forward on his chest, lie was ghastly pale. The captain grinned. "Yes, sir, confessed—in the presence of three witnesses. Eh, sergeant.?" "Yes, sir," replied Maloney, "You heard him, too, didn't you, D«- laney?" "Yes, captain." Squaring iiis huge shoulders, the captain said with a self-satisfied chuckle: "It took us five hours to get him to •own up, but we got it out of him at last." The doctor was still busy with his examination, "He seems to be asleep. Worn out, I guess. Five hours, yes—that's your method, captain." Shaking his head, he went on: "I don't believe in these all-night examinations and your 'third degree' mental . torture. It is barbarous. When a man is nervous and frightened his brain gets so benumbed a t the end of two or three hours' questioning on the same subject that he's liable to say anything, or even believe anything. Of course, you know, captain, that after a certain time the law of suggestion commences to operate and—" The captain turned to his sergeant and laughed: "The law of suggestion? Ha, ha! T h a t ' s a good one! You know, doctor, them theories of yours make a hit with college students and amateur professors, but they don't go with us. You can't make a man say 'yes' when h e wants to say ' n o . ' " Dr. Bernstein smiled. "I don't agree with you," he said. "You can make him say anything, or believe anything—or do anythrng~~Tf he is unable to resist your will." The captain burst into a hearty peal of laughter. "Ha, ha! What's the ^use of chinnin'? We've got him to rights. I tell you, doctor, no newspaper can say that my precinct ain't cleaned up. My record is a hundred convictions to one acquittal. I catch 'em with the goods when I go after ' e m i " A faint smile hovered about the doctor's face. . ^ "I know your reputation," he said sarcastically. The captain thought the doctor was flattering him, so he rubbed his hands with satisfaction, as he replied: "That's right. I'm after results. None of them Psyche themes for mine."" Striding over to the armchair where sat Howard, he laid- a rough' hand on his shoulder. "Hey, Jeffries, wake u p ! " Howard opened his eyes and stared stupidly about him. The captain took hint by the collar of his coat. ''Come—stand up! r Brace up now!" Turning to Sergeant Maloney, tie added, "Take him over to the station. Write out that confession and make him sign it before breakfast. I l l be right over." .Howard struggled to his feet and Maloney helped him arrange his col* lar and tie. Officer Delaney clapped his hat on his head. Dr. Bernstein turned to go. "Good-morning, captain. I'll make out nay report*' "Qood morning, doctor." Dr. Qorastoln dlsapfared and Capt "Sitting There Crying Your Eyes Out Won't Do Him Any Good." Clinton turned-'to look at Annie, who had been waiting- pnHpnHy in the. background. Her anguish on seeing Howard's condition was unspeakable. H-was only with difficulty that she restrained herself from crying out and rushing to his side. But those stem, ^uni formed meri^-H*Uniidated her, It seemed to her that tloward was on trial—a prisoner—perhaps his life was in danger. What could/he have done? Of course, he w&^innowOjtt, whatever the charge was. He wouldn't harm a fly. She was sure of that. But every one looked so grave, and there was a big crowd gathered in front of the hotel when she came up. She thought she had heard the terrible word "murder," but surely there was some mistake. Seeing -Capt, Clinton turn in her direction, she dartedTeagerly forward. "May I speak to him, sir? He is my husband." "Not Just now," replied the captain, not unkindly. "It's against the rules. Walt till we get him to the Tombs. You can see him all you want there." Annie's heart sank. Could she have heard aright? "The Tombs!" she faltered. "Is the charge so serious?" "Murder—that's all!" replied the captain laconically. Annie nearly swoomed. Had she not caught the back of a chair she would have fallen. The captain turned to Maloney and, in a low tone, said: "Quick! Get him over to the station. We don't want any family scenes here." Manacled to Officer Delaney and escorted on the other side by Maloney, Howard made his way toward the door. Just as he reached it he caught sight of his wife who, with tears streaming down her cheeks, was watching him as if in a dream. To her it seemed like some hideous nightmare from which both would soon awaken. Howard recognized her, yet seemed too dazed to wonder how ishe came there. He simply blurted out as he passed: "Something's happened, Annie, dear. I—Underwood—I don't quite know—" The policemen pushed him through the door, which closed behind him. HE JvlAKIE S THE TRUMP SPADES W I T H POWERFUL HAND. "Yes, I knew him tit one tim»\ lie introduced me to my husband." "Where was that7" "In New" Haven, Conn." "l"p at the college, eh? How long have you known Mr. Underwood?" Annie looked at her inquisitor and said nothing. She wondered what he was driving at, what importance the question had to the case. Finally she said: "I met him once or twice up at New Haven, but I've never seen him since my marriage to Mr. Jeffries. My husband and he were not very good friends. That is—" She stopped, realizing that she had made a mistake. How foolish she had been! The police, of course, were anxious to show that there was ill feeling between the two men. Her heart misgave her as she saw the look of satisfaction iu the captain's face. that, no matter how black tilings looked against—him,—SUJ. A*—would not r "Ah!" he exclaimed. "Xot very good friends, eh? In fact, your husband didn't like 'him, did he?" "He didn't like him well enough to run after him." she replied hesitatingly. The captain now started off in another direction. "Was your husband ever jealous of Underwood?" By this time Annie had grown suspicious of every question. She was on her guard. "Jealous? What do you mean? No; he was not jealous. There was never any reason, i refuse to answer any more questions." «^3?he captain rose and began to pace the floor. "There's one little tiling more, Mrs. Jeffries, and then you <Httt—THT CHAPTER X I . Unable to control herself any longer, Annie broke down completely and burst into tears. When the door opened and she saw her husband led away, pale and trembling, between those two burly policemen, it was as if all she cared for on earth had gone out of her life forever. Capt. Clinton laid his hand gently on her shoulder. With more sympathy in his face than was his custom to display, he said: "Now, little woman—'tain't no kind of use carrying on like that! If you want to, help your husband and get him out of his trouble you want to get busy. Sitting there crying your eyes out won't do him any good." Annie threw up her head. Her eyes were red, but they were dry now. Her face was set and determined. The captain was rffht. Only foolish worn* en wesp and wail when misfortune knocks a t their door. The right sort of women go bravely out and make a fight for liberty and honor. Howard was innocent Sbe was convinced of leave a stone unturned till she had regained for him his liberty. With renewed hope in- her heart and resolution in her face, she turned to confront the captain. "What has he done?" she demanded. "Killed his friend, Robert Underwood." Hf! watched her face closely to see what effect his words would have on her. "Robert. Underwood dead!" exclaimed Annie with more surprise than emotion. "Yes," said the captain sternly, "and your husband, Howard Jeffries, killed him." "That's not true! I'd never believe that," said Annie promptly. "He's made a full confession," went on the captain. "A confession!" she echoed uneasily. "What do you mean?" "Just what I say. Your husband has made a full confession in the presence of witnesses, that he came here to Underwood's rooms to ask for money. They quarreled. Your husband drew a pistol and shot him. He has slgned'a confession which will be presented to the magistrate this morning." \ Annie looked staggered for a moment, but her faith in her husband was unshakeable. Almost hysterically she cried: "I don't believe it. I don't believe it. You may have tortured him into signing something. Everybody knows your methods, Capt. Clinton. But thank God there is a law in the United States which protects the innocent as well as punishes the guilty. I shall get the most able lawyers to defend him even if I have to sell myself into slavery for the rest of my life." "Brayo, little woman!" said the captain mockingly. "That's tbe way to talk. I like your spunk, but before you go I'd like to ask you a few questions. Sit down." He waved her to a chair and he sat opposite her. "Now, Mrs. Jeffries," he began encouragingly, "tell me—did you ever hear your husband threaten Howard Underwood?" By this time Annie had recovered her self-possession. She knew that the best way to help Howard was to keep cool and to say nothing which was likely to Injure his cause. Boldly, therefore, she answered: "You've no right to ask me that question." The captain shifted uneasily in his seat. He knew afce was within her legal right.

"Sure?" demanded the captain, eyeing her narrowly, "Positive," said-^Vniiie. firmly. The captain looked puzzled, • "A woman called here last night to see him." he said thoughtfully, "and I thought that perhaps—" Interrupting himself, he went quickly to the door of the apartment and called to some one who was waiting in the corridor outside. A boy about IS years of age, in the livery of an elevator attendant, entered the room. The captain pointed to Annie, "Is that the lady?" The boy looked carefully, and then shook his head. "Don't think so—no, sir. The other lady was a great swell." "You're sure, eh?" said the captain. "I think so," answered the boy. "Do you remember the name she gave?" "No, sir," replied the boy. "Ever since, you asked me—" Annie arose and moved toward the door. She had no time to waste there. Every moment now was precious. She must get legal assistance at once. Turning to Capt. Clinton, she said: "If you've no further use for me, captain, I think I'll go." "Just one moment, Mrs. Jeffries," he said. The face of the elevator boy suddenly brightened up. "That's it," he said eagerly. "That's it—Jeffries. I think that was the r«me she gave, sir." "Who?" demanded the captain. (TO BE CONTINTKD.v To Be Agreeable. It requires tact and Judgment, as we all know, to decide when it is best to talk and when to listen. In the presence of men and women of superior talents and accomplishments, or of wide experience of the world, we must be wary and not let onr vanity run away with us. To such persons we may not be able to afford intellectual stimulus, and therefore it will be well to avoid giving giving our opinions at length, unless these are called for. With men and women of small talent and accomplishment we must also be on our guard, lest they find us didactic and wearisome. It is with our intellectual equals, or with persons of a generous disposition who like to draw \out the talents of others, that we feel the greatest freedom and attain the happiest results.—Harper's Bazar, Why He Hurried.

At this point he was suddenly interrupted by his wife, a young and beautiful woman, who had been sitting at the next table and who threw her arras about him in a passion of wobs. "Henri!" she exclaimed. "Stop! I beg of you, He doesn't mean it." she went on to the others—who had all stopped playing. "He is not well. It is only a passing delusion. He is tired. He has been working so hard. Say that you do not mean it!" she whispered, looking up at him anxiously. In reply her husband looked sternly around him. "I am resolved," he said,' "that for once in my life I will tell the truth and be honest with myself. Bridge playing, in my opinion, is a senseless occupation. It is pursued by those people who are not intelligent enough to find legitimate things to occupy their minds, and who, possessed with a repulsive greed, enjoy themselves by entertaining the hope that they may be able to win money from those whom they are pleased to call their friends. With these few remarks I will leave ynu to your own devices," "Henri!" muttered the young wife, still clinging to him, "this is terrible. I am afraid for you. Whore are you In tbe Chicago Iu,ter-Ocean. of a few days since reference was made to the fact that' iu 1909 the United States raised 7371189,000 bushels of wheat. and last year grew only 095,443,000, a decrease of 41,746,000 bushels. The article went on to say: "True wo raised last year more than enough wheat for our own needs, but it is apparent that if production continues to decrease in that ratio we will soon be obliged to look to other countries for wheat to supply our rapidly increasing population." The purpose of the article was to show that reciprocity was to be de» sired. This is a question that I do not propose to deal with, preferring to leave it to others who have made a greater study of that economic ques- . tion than I have. The point to be considered is, with the high price of lands in the United States, and with the much lower priced lauds of Canada, and their ability to produce probably more abundantly, is it not well for the United States farmer to take advantage of the opportunity Canada affords with its lower-priced lands and take a part in supplying the needs of the United States, which it is quite apparent must come sooner or later? It is probable there are now about 300,000 American farmers in Western Canada, cultivating large farms, and becoming rich, in the growing of 25- and 30-bushel-to-the-acre-wheat, in producing large yields of oats and barley, and in raising horses and cattle cheaply on~tmr wrht prairie grasses that are there, both succulent and abundant. All these find a ready market at good prices. Amongst the Americans who have made their homes 4n Canada are to be found colonies of Scandinavians, and all are doing well. I have before me a letter from an American Scandinavian, now a Canadian, an extract from which is interesting. Writing from Turtle Lake, Saskatchewan, he says: "I came up here from Fergus Falls, Minn., October 24TIiT 1910, and thought I would let you know how I have been getting along.

Country With Only One Bank. There are no public banking institutions in the Dominican Republic, and but one private bank with agencies in the more important towns which buys and sells drafts, makes loans, and is the repository of the government funds. * Buying and selling drafts is an important source of revenue to this bank and also to many private individuals. Money is easily placed at almost any time at 1¼ per cent, a month, and sometimes at 2 and 2¼ per cent, with first-class real estate or personal security. Long-time Joans of large amounts are placed at lz*per cent, per annum. Municipalities, borrowing money for improvements and other purposes, pay 1 per cent, a month. There are very few depositors in .he local bank.

And it was tbls trust that led tbam across ten mile* of timber-clad divide —a rery long way from home for them—to Mariposa Creek, of which Hugh McCarthy, their old friend, was almoat sole owner, and in hia way a king. Somewhat but of breath, they alowly climbed the trail to the river bank whereon McCarthy stood. McCarthy, a stocky giant with irongray hair, was contentedly watching the work below. The years had gone well with him. Time, knowing his kindly heart, had dealt nothing but car eases. The Ahpalino, whereon for many years he bad neighbored with the two old partners, had yielded well, and BOW for five years this new Had Twenty men worked In the cut below, directing great streams of water that la the sunlight showed as streaks of molten silver, smiting with terrific farce the red banks, uprooting stumps, tossing boulders, and aending muddy terrenta through sluices which caught and held the heavy gold. A voice, ringing with the thin sweet- Mas of an aged bell, high pitched, broke In upon McCarthy's reverie: "Howdy, Hugh! We're lookin* for a Job/* Before its echo bad begun, another voice, in equal pitch of plaintlveness, reiterated: "Yes, we're" lookin' for a job." McCarthy, startled, pivoted on the heel of his rubber boot, and in astonishment looked at the two old men wt)ft h^rriori, rir<m««ri, and atstnrerf alike, had addressed htm. His dark eyes twinkled from beneath hie gray thatch of eyebrows, and bis hands came from his pockets to grasp theirs, which they simultaneously proffered. "Abner and Ezry. as I'm Hvin'," he said, his face melting into a great smile; "and lookin' for a job! Well, you've got it." That was about all that was said. The partners, like automatons pulled by the same string, took off their coats, carefully folded and laid them on the bank. Then they rolled their shirtsleeves to the elbow, took prodigious chews of tobacco, started their jaws and white beards to work, and in five minutes were "hard at it." The work was very old to them, because in their thirty-five years of partnership this ''had most^ always been their lot. True, it was one of the first times in all their lives wherein they had worked for wages and drawn pay for the toll of their hands. Most men would have felt, in commencing life all over again at seventy years, that fate had dealt harshly, but not so with them. To them the hills and forests were home, the good God in heaven & very close friend, and to work was natural. In this same simple way they had always worked, or passed their days en desert and plain, in the mountain's depths or the forest's shelter; had fought side by side when in brave hearts lay their only bope; had loved the same woman when love came to them; had together buried and sorrowed over her when dsaiu Interposed, and now that fortune had turned bar face wore glad to be altogether in toll, where they could share each other's weariness. It isn't for any one to know how bitterly they must bave suffered in leaving the quiet little cabin on the Ahpalino, Nrith its truck patch, its towers, and the little cross on tho bill beneath which rssted their dead, •van the worked-out ground, which for mora than twenty years had held than to the only home they had ever known, must have been very dear, and the outer world very cold. Hugh, who better than any one imow their joys and sorrows, waa l o w wealthy, and would have gladly titan them dust enough to pave with eaae all tho remaining days of their Hvea; but he understood them too well for that. Knew that auch an of* . far would be sturdily declined. Now, aa ha stood on tho bank above and watched thorn steadily handling their sluice-forks and dumping smaller rubbish from tho aluices, ha waa perplexed1. Ho knew that the light- , oat wor* bo bad to gfve wen all toe heavy. AJ e*venty the heart may bo. young and the toil-worn handa willing, bat youth's atom of etrength la gone. That day witnessed McCarthy's : Brat falsehood, and bo loved tho truth. After ho bad made an excuse : t i n t they might Quit work earlier, knowing how tired they mutt bo, he ' toM them these vaian t room for them . t o sleep In tha/moaa-houoa, no had cota placed for them In bis own cabin, :: H: waa pretty bolt, because there- worn ;; ton empty benks. It oily proved, ; though, that Hugh waa planning other { arrangamente, and when he planned, : an his foreman once said: "Something foftwaya happoned." £ Jaftmv supper . t h e * *e* oat; en* in front of too cabin, where, whon the) day's work with tho big hydraulics was done, everything seemed strangely euiet. None of theee three waa of tho garrulous kind, so thefle wasn't much said. They watched the stars come out, hoard the men in the messhouse in roaring chorus sing tbe same old songs of the border that they themselves had sung ft*ty years before, and smoked. "It's gittln' real late, Hugh," said Abner, knocking a golden shower from the end of the bench. "Yes,'' piped Ezra's voice in the same high treble, 'it's gittin' real late." McCarthy wanted them to stay longer. Said be wanted company, but, as ne one had said anything for an hour, his ideas of companionship must have been of the quiet sort. "No, Hugh," came Abner's voice 10 answer. "It's most nine o'clock, and we're Just workin* men now." "Yea, just worhrn' men now," came the echo. They all arose and turned toward the cabin door. It was quite dark, and they couldn't see each other very plainly, ao it was less embarassing to say things from the heart. That is probably the reason why Abner, In his fine old way, said tremulously, as if offering thanks was very hard work: w "Hugh, me and Esry is gittin' a trifle old, p'haps, to do aa much work as some men. We're mighty thankful to the J.ord and you, and feel we must do our share. We decided today you'd better call us an hour earlier than; the others*, because th*m that can't work as fast as some muit work longer." "Yes, must work longer/' repeated Ezra. "And we want to teM you. Hugh, that we think you're mighty good to us to try to make us feel at home, because it's hard to get used to the new things when you think so much of the old." —That was the time when Ezra didn't happy aa they apparently should have boon. They took care of the flowers, and did all those little choree they had boon in the habit of doing, but tho fact waa that whoa dusk dropped down and they sat together on the little bench they had made outside the door, they didn't have much to aay. Bach o a t waa homesick for the old log cabin away over across the divide, tho home they had known for nearly thirty years, and for tbe little wooden cross on tho hillside. But tbey wer* so considerate of each other that neitner would mention the matter; first because he didn't want to wound hia partner, and second because be didn't want to appear childish or ungrateful. True, the Mariposa murmured its way in a canyon, with the same kind of trees on the edges, and big, high, solemn hills back of it all; but tbe brook didn't sing tbe same songs, and the canyon didn't bave the same sky-line, and tbe trees were different shaped, and the bills unfamiliar. All nature seemed to look at tbera and aay. "What are you two old fellows doing over here, when you really belong in Ahpalino gulch?" And for the life of them they couldn't answer. Again, a big cabin and store furniture, and a carpet were all very nice much nicer than a one-roomed old shack, with a hewn floor and # home-made furniture and a double ; btnk; but with them always was the sense of strangeness. They felt ill at eare with all rim, and constantly answeiVDTft Hugh heard a big gulp in the darkness, and knew that these two old chaps were wiping their eyes when they went inside, all because they were homesick as two boys, and bubbling over with gratitude for what, after all, was only a little kindness and understanding. Maybe Hugh had kind of .a clutch in his own throat, so couldn't say anything, but just kept quiet. So tbey went to work earlier than the other men. This caused a fellow - one of those big, hulking chaps—to poke fun at tbem. There aren't many ever saw McCarthy angry, because he knows how to keep his temper, but this fellow had > chance. Hugh had come along unobserved. There were little forks of Are in his eyes when he seized the Joker by the throat and shook him as if he were sit inches Instead of six feet high. "They'll hold their Jobs longer than you," he said, as he dropped the man in a heap. "You're fired! Now hike!"' There were no more jokes at the partners' expense, and the man wasn't fired, after all, because Abner and Ezra talked Hugh out of it. And pretty soon no one wanted to hurt the partners' feelings, because to know tbem was to love them. Now, tbe real secret of their working at all was that Hugh was finding a way to help them out without making them feel bad. He owned a claim above, and without any one knowing what it was for, built on it the finest cabin that ever went up on the Mariposa. It's there yet. It had four rooms, and fine floors, and a window in each room. Greatest of all, it bad real, beautiful store furniture, brought in with a heap of trouble from the neareat railway station. But Hugh didn't mind. He never did things by halves. He evtjn wont so far as to have flowers- the old-style kind—planted around the doorway, and was aa happy as a boy while watching the work. One afternoon he took Esra and Abner up there. They stood around awkwardly, and admired all this meg ninceace, and kept repeating: "It's a mighty fine place, a mighty fine place, and must of coat a pile of duet." "Boys," Hugh said-they wore al waya •'boya" together "Boys, here's a dead for this claim and cabin, it's all yours. Now we're neighbors again, Just aa we used to be on tbe Ahpalino; ao we'll call this claim The Grand Reunion." Abner nnd Ezra didn't want to take it, but Hugh explained that probably the claim wouldn't pay more than day wages, and thersfore. the house woo really the only present he was firing them. Than tbey all bnd supper togetnsr, asd that ended the partners' "Job" As they wrtch<* Hugh go. down the tnaff that night b e > e * s o happy he triad to. e l o * but ;*#* eovlsm't sing Hugh was an awful bad • jEfeea tbey took, their boots off outside), for fear of speilin* the carpet, and gingerly wee* in. - thAtrvJbvf sjrannd, on*thsU trenches, an* 'tuSfed.tW water chtougV the new pioea dnd gfant wnwjfc «*«*& bad 'loaned" thorn. And they ~tfved In M r - w o w btmso wtth all i t s ' store furniture, but they really weren't aa Reunion. He waa rery methodical, because be knew how it must be done, and that lack of care would show the partner* that something waa,wrong. It took a long time, out there in the rain and the darkness. He went from rifle to rifle, stooped over until. In tbe flashes, he looked like a black bowlder; and wherever he went the duat was added In a little thin trail of gold that crept in a tiny stream seeking freedom from the heavy buckskin 'soke" he carried. That was only part of bis work. With an idle shovel he made trip after trip distributing dirt along the string of sluices. After that he let the water run very gently, so as' to smooth out all trace. It seemed almost as though the Lord was in tbe conspiracy with him, because through it all the rain fell so heavily that it washed away the prints of his feet; but he felt like a thief, just the same. "It's tbe first time I ever salted a claim," he said to himself, with half a grin, as be slouched away down tbe gulch, his rubber boots singing a little "squich-squicb-equich" with each step he took. "But I reckon there's enough pay in tbe boxes n^pr to make Abner and Ezra contented." It had been repugnant to hiru, thin underhanded work, but he couldn't give tbem anything outright. Tbe next evening Hugh made the partners a visit, but they didn't have anything to say, not having "cleaned up" the sluices. In those days it down because we thhah It's too much, Hugh, and ought to belong to yoa." "Tee, belongs to you," said Bsrn, with many shakes of hia white beard. McCarthy refused strenuously, without giving them time to reply. Roughly told them to "sit down asd wnit for grub.' and ended by sassiag bis sld white hat and bolting on the excuse that be bad to watcb his men clean up. "Beats tbe devil," he muttered, aa he went ove» tbe trail to the e s t "Can't do anything for e m ! Here I've gone and turned crooked for the first time in my life to help em, and I'll be banged if tbey don't come luggin' back all tbe dust 1 took up there, and a few more ounces with it. Humph!" After supper, when darkness came and they had smoked, Abner and Ezra cleared tbeir throats. "Hugh." aald Bar* from the dark ness, quietly but with great determination, "me and Abner have got sometbin' more to say to you It's kind of hard work, because we ain't the unappreciative sort." He bealtat ed, aft^if Reeking words, then hurried on. "We both knows you've done your damdest, and tbar ain't been a night since we came that we ain't looked into each other's eyes, then got down by them nice new beds, and ibid: 'Dear l^ord! do watch over that young feller; because, Lord, excuse us for remindin' you of it, but he's been mighty good to us.' " McCarthy twisted in his seat white Abner reiterated the last uentence Then Ezra continued: i^y&^ "THEY'LL HOLD THEIR JOB! LONGER THAN VOU,M HE SAID. afraid of breaking "acme of tbo fixin *s." Hugh* used to come up to ace them quite often. It would be Juat about dusk whan they would aee something lumbering up the. trail, for all tba world like a big black bear, only this one amoked a pipe. He would alt down by them on a chair, which they alwaya politely brought, and then tho three of tnem would watch the stara come out. Sometimes they would sit a whole hour in one of these visits without saying' a word. All you would hear beside the croon of the Mariposa below nnd tbe sighing of tbe big treea above, would be the "put-pur' of the pipes or tbe scratching of a mateh. Then Hugh would aay: "Good night, boya," and tho two old voices, ao .sweetly tuned by One old age, would aay in unison: "Good sight, Hug*. Lord bloaa and kosp you." Be sure they never forgot that! Try aa be would. McCarthy couldn't ,^uite make out what waa the matter with the two old partners. He m e w there waa something that kept them from being suite as happy aa they onto wore. Bo be decided Tbo Grand Reunion wasn't paying much, after all. Ho asked tbem one night, and found it wantonly doing fairly well. Just a little bettor than day wages.

He waa Just filling his pipe when he heard a noise at the door. He turned round, and there stood Abner and Kara looking happier than he bad ever aeon them. They were all smiles, and had changed tbeir clothing to come down, showing it to be a gala occasion. Had on dean overalls and clean shirts, sll msde of blua denim and faded to whiteness by waahing in the creek. No strsy spots of clay in their white beards or on their smooth-shaven cheeks. "Hugh/' said Ezra, "we got great saws for you." "Tea—got great news," said Abner. "Lookle here." they said together exultnntly, aa though one voice were apeaking, and laid on MoCgrthy's table a heavy buckskin bag of still damp dost. Hugh tried to look astonished, and kept saying: "Well, I'm mighty glad of it—mighty glad!" Then, still trying to show great surprise, tested its weight is bis hands, and asked: "How much?"

Along tho well-donned trail we were continually reminded by the conspicuous .signs jioited by the Forest Rangers cjf'"The warning to all tampers In regard to Hres. The last day's trip was over a rough trail, crossing and recrossing Young's crock, up and down banks so utcep that we would often dismount and lead thn horses acroHS. ^h©_KAlley at this point widens out into an open park of several hundred acres called the "Big Prairie," which is now fenced and uaed as a horse pasture by the foreBt rangers. At the lower end of this pasture the river makes a wide detour around the vertical bluffs, the trail going over the top, Joining the river again near the confluence of the White river and the South Fork. Here we made our permanent camp in a small open park. For three days we had heard Marsh tell of his seventeen years' experience in that part of the country as guide, trapper and hunter, which made us all the more keen to try our skill on the game for which we had made the long Journey. On the morning of October 1st, as soon as it was light enough to see, Bert and Charles crossed the river to look for elk near the lick wo had passed the day before. Helny, Marsh and I went up on the mountain back of our camp to look for goats, while Ben set to work fixing up the camp. We hunted along the top of the mountain for a short distance, when presently Marsh called our attention to what he thought was a goat lying out on a point of rocks on the west side, and sure enough it settled all doubt by getting up and" walking out into plain view. We decided at once to try for this one. It was necessary to wafk back a mile to a point where we could get down onto a ledge which we could follow, or half crawl along back to the place where we had seen the goat. This ledge was covered with slide rock, and made walking dangerous, and it was impossible to proceed noiselessly, as we would start rocks to rolling over the edge every few steps. At length we reached the belt of timber which , hid the goat pasture. Heiny took the right side ,Of the ridge, and I the left, and we began to move t o w a r d tbB spot where the goat had been seen. We had gone but a short distance when I heard a shot and going In his direction I saw him and Marsh, Heiny had shot the goat which ran out near the edge of the cliff and fell, lodging against the roots of an upturned spruce. It proved to be .' an old one with two of its lower teeth missing. We took the skin, head and part of the meat on what proved to be a most hazardous trip, as the west side of the mountain is a series, of narrow ledges. Banks of cloud were rising in the wesV After two hours of strenuous walking through the underbrush and windfalls, we came out into the - park back of our camp Just as it began to storm. ^.¾ Neither Charles nor Bert-were in camp, and on • "^Wy part, at teast, were the .cause of some uneasi- J < n * « V a i It was raining and both had left camp * *ith'biily light sweaters. i, >'!ti the morning a s it was growing light, I gazed £ t t t t t^rougii the tent-fly to see the mountains i . #hite* tiro-thtirda of the way down.

Our game supply now consisted of three deer, three goats and one elk. 'Charles decided to star in the valley with Marsh until he shot an elk, while the rest of us took a part of the packtrain, loaded on all our game and left at noon next day for the railroad. By no means the least interesting part of this trip waa the chance to view the Lewis and Clark National Forest, where for ten days we lived near to Nature, the only evidence of man's having Intruded there being the cut out pack-trail and the forest rangers' cabins. The timber ranges in size from the giant Norway pine of six feet in diam eter to the 6-iuch lodge pole thicker ets. The v i v i d green of these, brightened by the yellow fal' tint of the asps n o w c a p p e d mountains made a picture which no camera nor brush could do . justice to, givinp one the feeling that it was good to be alive.

Ben, Bert and Heiny were to go over to Ben's cabin on Uis Salmon lake and spend two days looking for elk. Charles declared his intentions of trying again for the big bull on the west side of the river, while I had picked a likely-looking mountain across the gulch from where Heiny had shot his goat on the first day's hunt. I We were out of camp early, Marsh and I both taking saddle horses. We cut out a trail throu.^h and around windfalls, across Marshall Creek, and by ten o'clock that forenoon were well above the snow line. While we were yet some distance below the summit, we tied our horses in a sheltered spot and proceeded on foot. Deer tracks were numerous in the fresh, wet snow, and on top of a small ridge I found the tracks of a band of elk. Thers were eight^in the t)unch, one track showing plainly to be that of a bu.ll, and Marsh "allowed" we had better try for him, The tracks were easily followed, but as they had fed all over the ridge, it took some time to find in which direction they were going. Shortly Mar3h, who was walking back of me, touched me and pointed out a yearling which was feeding toward us. We sat down and watched this one which was soon Joined by another and another, until six were in sight. The two yearlings came within sixty feet before they winded us and turned back. We could hear the bull scraping his horns on the brush. He was in the background, out of sight. We watched them possibly five minutes, when \ saw what I took to be the bull, brushing his head up and down among the branches of a small pine. I fired a t a point Just back of hje shoulders. Then came the one disappointment of the trip, for the animal proved to be a big cow. The remainder of the band stood motionless for a quarter of a minute, then broke into a fun down the mountain side. We dressed the elk and continued our hunt for goats. We wen> crossing deer tracks every few feet. On coming out Info a little park I found one track that looked good enough to follow, and had hardly gone ten rods when I heard him Jump out of bed. 'He came into an open spot on the highest point of the ridge, and stood looking at me over the top of some dwarf cedars. I drew a bead off his neck and fired, scoring a clean miss. The second shot hit the mark, and a tenpoint black-tail buck was added to the fist, and went a long way toward repairing my feelings over the elk. The reunited party had supper together that evening. Ben put up goat, elk and venison steaks to order. After the big feed was over and pipes filled, we sat around the fire in the teepee tent, and planned a further invasion of the game zone across Marshall creek. Th© result was Bert's bagging of the largest goat of the trip, and Charles getting a black-tall buck. The shooting of Bert's goat Was quite a remarkable feat. He and Ben had Just about given up looking for goats and were standing on the edge of a cliff, looking down at a trail along the side of the ledge, when a goat appeared walking leisurely. The animal was about fifty feet horizontally and three hundred feet vertically from him when he shot, hitting the goat square between the shoulders, killing it Instantly. Any struggle on the part o f - t h e animal would have resulted in his rolling over the cliff, where it would h e r e been impossible to reach him. T h e t w o men crawled down t>rmr the slide rock out to where the goat lay, and after much careful magpies and many smaller birds udded interest to the trip, The act of ex-President Roosevelt""in setting aside thf>se immense tracts of rough, timbered count!}' for national forests, to be looked afler by the government, providing a home for the wild life and a recreation spot for future generations, will stand as one of the great acts of his administration. I Less Lonely Club Confident that New York is the loneliest city in all this wide world, the New York World says, several men and women have organized the Less Lonely league, with headquarters at 57 East One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street, The purpose is to provide a suitable meeting place for persons of refinement and education who are denied home 'ife. I L. J. Wing, a well-to-do manufacturer, is the originator and president of the Less Lonely league. His own lonesomeness is responsible for the movement, which is expected to gather thousands of recruits in New York and throughout the United States when it gets fairly under way. It was through a letter to a newspaper that Mr. Wing got in touch with the other men and women who fell in with his plan. "Long ago I realized that New York was a mighty lonely place," Mr. Wing said. "I mean for one accustomed to associating with cultured persons. At first I thought that through a church I might meet congenial people. I attended one in 'Central Park, west, but it didn't take long to convince me that no friends were to be made there. [ attended another church in Lenox avenue. The result was the same. Now I don't attend any ohurch, but on Sunday jump into my motor car and take a ride into the country and let nature preach, to me.

We have received nearly 100 applications." Lawyers, publishers, teachers and others have written asking about the club, and Mrs. Taylor has had printed a circular setting forth that "four walls and a door don't make a home;" And this from Hood's_"Bridge of Sighs" is added: Oh it was pitiful, near a whole city full, Home they had none. Every other Tuesday an entertainment will be given, although the club rooms will be open to the members any time. Mrs. Mary E. Medberry of Beasonhurst, L. I., is arranging the program.

On a large estate in the Scottish highlands it was the custom for a piper to play in front of the house every week day morning to awaken the residents. After an overconvlvial Saturday night, however, the piper forgot the day and began his reveille (can it be played on the pipes?) on Sunday morning. The angry master shouted to him from the bedroom window: "Here, do you not know the fourth commandment?"

The use of metal and concrete in the construction of all kinds of buildings is gaining rapidly in popularity. We see it not only in our houses, but In the modern'dairy barns and poultry plants. This is brought about on grounds of economy and efficiency; metal is stronger, wears longer, occupies less space, is immune to fire and inimical to insect life and disease. For the latter reason its use appeals strongly to the poultry breeder. Metal perches, nests, and even houses have much to commend them on grounds of cleanliness and good sanitation. Especially is this true of metal nests, a row of which Is shown in the illustration. Of all contrivances the wooden box has proved itself the home of lice and mites; its crevices and cracks are the delight of these pestiferious enemies of fowl life. To be sure the nesting material can be changed and burned, the box s p r a y e d or f u m i g a t e d , hut, in s p i t e of all precaution a few stray specimens will escape in some crack or crevice in the wood. With the metal nest Combination Metcl Nests.- this is certainly not possible. The only chance of infect;on is from the bird itself to the nesting material, which is of minor consequence, unless a lousy hen happens to precede a clean one in occupying the nest. Metal uests L'UIUHB—several pat - Working Automatic Door. her In proper shape again. Now for fear that you forget to turn the flock from their roosting quarters some warm day, make one of these automatic release doors. This arrangement is attached to the outside of the building ordinarily where the small drop door is located. with half-Inch mesh wire netting. This will show the hens the light, and they will be induced to reach it. In so doing they will walk over the false bottom, the one to which the trigger wire is attached and her weight will raise the hook that, keeps the door In place, the door will swing open and all the flock will be released. terns. One style is for hanging on the wall, from whioh it can be easily removed and cleaned. Others are made in combination as shown In the illustration, also in singles and in pairs and trios. For shipping they are knocked down; their construction is such that no rivets or solder is required to set them up ready for use. Galvanized iron coops have long been a feature of eastern and European shows, and we can see no reason why metal houses will not prove equally desirable. Where tried, breeders claim them a success, HELP INPOULTRY CHOLERA Important Experiments W i t h Serum Depend Upon Live Material— Specimens Arrive Dead. Can poultry cholera be prevented by injecting serum into the diseased fowls? The serum method of treatment prevents cholera in hogs, and if the case is in its first stages, will cure it. But will serum work equally well in combating the disease when contracted by fowls? This is what F. S. Jacoby, of the poultry department^ and W. K. Stouder, of the veterinary department of the Kansas State Agricultural college, are eager to know. Of course they will use a different kind of serum, suited to the differences between cholera In hogs and In poultry. * Inability to get diseased fowls to operate upon is retarding the progress of experiments now being conducted to investigate this question. Mr. Jacoby and Doctor Stouder wish to communicate with owners of flocks where the disease has started. The only fowls received up to the present died in transit. Few fowls live more than three days after contracting the disease. If- they are not started to the college In the early stages of the disease they are likely to arrive in a worthless condition for the experiment. Grow Laying Htnt. If you want hens that will lay, now is the time to begin to grow- them. Secure eggs of some of the standard laying breeds and raise some chicks as early as possible this spring. Next fall they will be ready for business. Do not expect heavy laying from nonlaying breeds. Don't Crowd Chicks. Too many chicks in one yard, coop or brooder Is disastrous. Older chicks will trample on and crowd out younger ones, and the ones last hatched stand small show for feed growth, or even life. It is best to separate broods widely all over the orchard. Watch Qutaea'e Nest Guinea fowls will BOW be laying, and a watch must ft* kept on their s«*t»r as it is their nature to hide them. The eggs had better be hatched by hens. O H * Turkey H t n Large Coop. Give the turkey hen and her brood a coop large enough for the mother to move about and stand erect in, and you irota't be to aft td have tout hick. THREE-PEN POULTRY HOUSE Arrangement Shown in Illustration Gives Large Amount of Yard Space f o r Chickens. The Illustration shows a Aery useful poultry house for three pens of fowls, with yards arranged for the same number. The house is 30x30 feet and will accommodate 100 fowls. The hallway takes but little room out of the interior and yet -it coramuftteateu with all three pens. The inside divisions are of wire netting, allowing the sunshine that enters at one Hide of the house to fall into the pens; but the house should be so located that three sides may receive morno v f <>» I I I t I ; YAJ?D 0 - - - - o - YARD • rtL PC-N / PLN y V p f^ S2c YAPD ._.<4 A Three-Pen Poultry House. ing, noon and afternoon sun. The plan Is followed, according to Orange Judd Farmer, for dividing the yard outside aS for dividing the space inside the house. This gives a large amount of yard space, with yards conveniently located. This building is shingJed all over the outside, with the heaviest building paper under the shingles, and may either be sheathed or lathed and plastered inside, The flock of pure-bred fowls more than pays the expenses incurred in the orchard. Now is as good a time as you can select to give /the henhouse a, thorough cleaning and disinfection. • Ducks are nervous creatures and will often lose much flesh on account of their nervousness at night. Keep sharp gravel within reach of the young at all times. Charcoal, too, is beneficial, and oyster-shells are relished. Once a week pour enough coal-oil In the drinking water to form a scum over the top. It is a good roup preventive. A carefully made, roomy nest of hay with a sod or grass bottom forms, in my estimation, the best kind of nest for sitting. The open range is best for young turkeys, but they must not be allowed out during a shower or before the grass Is dry. If an abundance of good sharp grit is constantly on hand the many ailments that spring from indigestion can be prevented. Never allow a draft to blow over young turkeys; cover their windows with poultrv netting, then muslin, until very severe weather sets in. Hard-boiled egga, stale bread soaked in sweet milk and squeezed until It ia crumbly, and sour milk curds squeezed quite dry, are the recognised feeds for the young until they are old enough to eat wheat In an experimental way eggs have been hatched in be* bines by a Jersey farmer, who found thaVfhe irv ftetaor of tat hWee wis i»ef the right How to Curs Your Own Kidneys " = — i • Tf y o u have pain in t h e small of tho > back, a t tihiea or constantly, if the urlritt 1« profuse or scanty, If It 1M smoky or cloudy after It stands a f e w hours, or h a s a bad odor, or If you have pain in t h e bladder or a touch of rheumatism anywhere, t h e chances are almost 1Q0 to 1 tnat your kidneys are clogged with body poisons of various kinds.

"I suffered with eczema on my neck for about six months, beginning by little pimples breaking out. I kept scratching till the blood came. It kept getting worse, I couldn't sleep nights any more. It kept itching for about a month, then I went to a doctor and got some liquid to take. It seemed as if I was going to get better. The itching stopped for about three days, but when It started again was even worse than before. The eczema itched so badly I couldn't stand it any more. I went to a doctor and he gave me some medicine, but it didn't do any good, We have been having Cuticura_ Reme_dien in the house, so I decided 1o try them. I had been using Cuticura Soap, so I got me a box of Cuticura Ointment, and washed off the affected part with Cuticura Soap three times a day, and ihen put the Cuticura Ointment on. The first day I put it on, it relieved me of itching so I could sleep all that night. It took about a week, then I could see the scab come off. I kept the treatment up for three weeks, and my eczema was cured. "My brother got his face burned with gunpowder, and he used Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The people all thought he would have scars, but you can't see that he ever had his face burned. It was simply awful to look at before the Cuticura Remedies (Soap and Ointment) cured It."

The forthcoming event is a jubilee '^™*h observance in honor of Cardinal Gibthebeadof the-enurob-4n-Amcrica. What is more, it is to be a double jubilee,— something that is most unusual if not indeed unique. The date of this significant anniversary is June 30, which is the golden jubilee of Cardinal Gibbons' ordination to the priesthood and the silver jubilee of his elevation to the position of Cardinal. However, the observances of this significant event will by no means be confined to the final day of June. On the contrary there will be commemorative events of one kind or another that will occur at intervals for a period of several weeks.

In Use For Over Thirty Years mfWAW7/5 /KWDf/rCT'ATBALT/MOQC MOL to have the chief events of June 30 take the form of a service in the Cathedral & the Cardinal's home city of Baltimore, tq,.^hlch church dignitaries from all over the counffyrwh11 he invited, to be followed by a reception in the neighboring city of Washington which will take tho- form of a tribute by American officialdom to the venerable head of the church and will be attended by President Taft and all the highest officials of the nation. However, it is expected that other cities will also desire to pay tribute to Cardinal Gibbons in connection with this dual anniversary and if he continues to enjoy the good health for which he has been famous for ao many years it -a probable that he will wish to accept Invitations for later dates from churches at more distant points so that It will be strange if the eminent wearer of the red hat is not kept busy for several weeks acknowledging the popular expression of good wishes In one form or another. All this, too, in the face of the fact that the Cardinal rather depreciates the plans which have been In the making for sometime past to take due cognizance of the double jubilee. When, soon after the first of the year, prominent clergy and laymen began to lay plans for commemorative exercises the cardinal expressed tbe hope that there would be as little display as possible. Finally there will be ceremonies connected with the laying of the corner stone and later the dedication of what is to constitute the permanent tribute to Cardinal Gibbons in connection with the jubilee—namely, a Cardinal Gibbons Memorial Hall to be erected on the grounds of the Catholic University of America in the District of Columbia. It is planned to erect a monumental structure that will cost at least $100,000 and will be notable architecturally as well as serving a useful purpose at the great seat of learning which has become the center of Catholic activities on this continent The funds for the erection of this corarfp^^ raUvff>*:--!!<!i:.:~ r~c being rcisod by a nationwide -^..^.^.:1^:--11:1100 end thousajjdH of dollars 1 already bcr. j,.cCr:d. Thj sreat interest which Cardinal Gibbons has always manifested in the university makes it particularly fitting that the enduring testimonial to his career should take the form of a^n addition to this seat of learning. The double jubilee in June,—the first event of the kind ever celebrated in this country will be followed In July,—on July 23, to be exact,—by another significant anniversary. This second momentus occasion of the summer will be the Cardinal's attainment of the seventy-seventh milestone in a very active life. It is but little less significant than the other event if for no other reason than the remarkable vigor and vitality constantly manifested by the eminent churchman. Indeed, •o person meeting him casually and unaware of his Identity would suspect that he has attained so advanced an age. Furthermore it would be difficult to And a better example of the benefits of a timgee -and syatetnatic mode of life.

The early work of the churchman was in Baltimore, with which city his church services have been so conspicuously identified all through his long career. Later, however, after serving as private secretary to the late Archbishop Spalding he was consecrated bishop of North Carolina and remained in that state four years. Then followed five years of service with similar responsibilities in the state of Virginia. In May, 1877, he was ap» pointed coadjutor with the right of succession to the archbishop of Baltimore and in less than a year he was formally installed archbishop. He was one of the American prelates to visit Rome In 1883 to outline the work of the third plenary council and his marked ability in this connection was at once noted by Pope Leo XIII, who forthwith appointed him to preside over the plenary council. During the meeting of the council the American archbishop further won the approbation of the pope who, to show his appreciation, nominated him for cardinal,—the signal honor, the acquisition of which forms the second object of the commemorative program now planned. It seems peculiarly appropriate that the permanent -aemorial to Cardinal Gibbons in connection with his jubilee should take the form of a hall at the Catholic university for if there is one project for which this prince of the church has <">vpr been a < insvnion find nri err-ost worker It is ti:'* scK-g^n " rrr'trr r, hip'ier erlnr-ninn jnder (•a'.Loli:? am-piucs. It will be :omembc.rdd that Cardinal Gibbons laid the cornerstone of the university and officiated at the formal opening of the institution, whereas the activities of his long service as chancellor of the university are fresh •in the minds of all who keep in touch with educational progress. As has been hinted above the personal habits of the cardinal are of the simplest character. He ia ever active and a subscriber to the theory that change of occupation is the ideal rest. Cardinal Gibbons has long been known as an early riser, getting up as early as 5:30 in summer and seldom later than 6 o'clock even in winter. He usually says mass at 7 o'clock, this being the custom no matter whether he is at the cathedral in Baltimore, or at a modest summer retreat tn the country, or at some quiet seaside resort. After mass comes breakfast and then an interval is devoted to reading the newspapers, for the cardinal keeps closely in touch with all current events, not forgetting a decidedly keen interest in what is transpiring in the baseball field. The main portion of the morning Is apportioned between replying to correspondence, receiving visitors and literary work. For the latter the cardloal can find all too little lei sura, but he has already attained high rank as a contributor to the literature of the church, hit book 'The Faith of Our Fathers" beiat-xagarded by eminent scholars ^7^^^¾¾ QT r//£ AM£#/C/l/i CAf?D//t4L and divines of every creed as a masterpiece of logic and literary expression. The cardinal's correspondence is, of course, very heavy, sometimes amounting to hundreds of letters a day and his visitors are likewise numerous. The ecclesiastical business for which_.he_ij a court of last resort is in itself sufficient to throng with callers the modest reception rooms of the cardinal's residence adjoining the cathedral in Baltimore, but* there are also great numbers of secular callers with a variety of missions. Catholic callers when received by the cardinal bend the knee and kiss the large amethyst ring which the cardinal wears in recognition of the spiritual authority vested in him. Unless he is to attend a formal dinner of some kind in the evening the cardinal usually hab .. > principal meal of the day shortly after noon and then lies down for a brief siesta, particularly if he has had an unusually strenuous morning, Later in the afternoon there is another attack upon the accumulated correspondence and literary work and more than likely a number of visitors will call by appointment. Whatever be the demands upon his time, however, the cardinal endeavors to reserve an hour or more in the laje afternoon for his constitutional,—this walk which is a Roman custom, followed by nearly all ecclesiastics, being taken in company with some friend or priest. When opportunity offers the cardinal also indulges in a short walk in the early morning but frequently he has to forego this. Except under unusual circumstances the cardinal retires at or before 10 oV'r.pV ar*d 'u his r^Vy-to-bed rule Is found one o tho secrets rf hii endurance, for the eminent churchman though he has never been able to boast what might be termed a robust constitution is wiry and capable of an immense amount of work. The cardinafs duties necessitate considerable travel and he stands this fatiguing work remarkably well considering his age. The month of .Tune preceding the events tn observance of his double jubilee is likely to be an especially lively one for this energetic member of the college of cardinals for this year as usual he has been deluged with invitations to speak at commencements. Cardinal Gibbons has few hobbles. He is fond of reading and enjoys the possession of a splendid library embracing many rare volumes and he is likewise fond of music Naturally a light eater at all times the cardinal is not tempted by delicacies that defy digestion. at once; there is need to renew the life forces.

For Beveral years my scalp was very badly affected with dandruff and scales. My scalp itched terribly at times and my hair feQ out. My coat collar would be actually white with the dandruff that had fallen from my head.

Thesei Tmd B?tie o r S o effect. I had heard so much about the Cuticura Remedies that I resolved to try them. I shampooed my head with Cuticura Soap twice a week and after drying my head thoroughly, I anointed parts of my scalp with Cuticura Ointment. I was pleased from the outset, and continued to keep up this treatment To think that only three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one and one-half boxes of Cuticura Ointment rid my head of this annoying trouble made me feel quite contented. I have now got a thick growth of hair and I am never troubled with any dandruff or ltchiri% of the scalp. There is no question but that the Cuticura Remediea cured me. I frequently recommend them to my customera, and they tninK a great deal of them." (Signed) John F. Williams, 307 Norfolk Street, Dorchester, Boston, Mass., July 28, 1910. A NEW IDEA. Gen. Porfirio Diaz issued a manifesto to the pedple of Mexico declaring his intention to resign the presidency as soon as peace' is restored. In this manner the president has virtually acceded to the demands of Francisco I. Madero that , he make announcement of such intention. As to when peace is actually restored, General Diaz reserves the right to be the Judge. la the words of the manifesto, it will be "when, according to the dictates of my conscience, I am sure that my resignation will not be followed by anarchy." The president declared that his determination not to relinquish the presidency at this time wa$ not dne to vanity or love of power, because, as he pointed out, power at this time had no attraction, accompanled as "It is by tremendous responsibilities and worry. He said he was prompted solely by a desire to conserve the best interests of his country. The president made it clear that he does not propose to abandon the p r e s i d e n c y w h i l e his c o u n t r y is at war and t h a t he would not do so at a n y time under compulsion.

EVERY DAY IS BARGAIN DAY WKLI/B nunY, HTOHM Baking Helps Valuable Suggestions* By Mrs. Nevada Briggs, Exponent oj the Art of Baking, as taught by Mrs. Janet McKenzie Hill Bilpfsl Cake Making* HtaU Always sift flour and K C Baking Powder at least three times. The more sifting, the lighter the cake. ILemeroher that! To cream butter and sugar'quickly, warm the sugar slightly. Beat yolks of eggs with rotary beater. Whip whites of eggs with flat spoon whip. Water makes lighter cakes; milk makes richer cakes. To mix a cake, first cream butter and sugar thoroughly, then add yolks, if used. Then alternately add moisture and flour that has been sifted with baking powder and stir until smooth and glossy, adding egg whites after thoroughly mixing. A /ways use K C Baking Powder. Biscuit Helps Always sift flour and K C Baking Powder at least thre* friwiPg - Have shortening cold and firm. Mix dough as soft as it can be handled. The softer dough goes into the oven, the lighter the biscuit when it comes out. It is easier for K C Baking Powder to do its work in soft than in stiff dough. Mix biscuits very little. Do not knead. Stir up with spoon or knife and press in shape to roll on floured board. With K C Baking Powder results are sure and certain.* Ask your grocer for K C • • YOU Are Koiug to look your best in that n w suit.

OA.VKULY, PublUhs* J4ICH1QAJI A SCENTLESS NATION. The department of agriculture has recently called attention to the backwardness of this country as a producer of the particular kind of crops that go to the making of perfumes, says the Washington Post. Swift in the development of other industries, we have been extremely neglectful of our opportunities in this particular, since, it is claimed, we can raise in one part of the United States or another all of the plants needful for an innumerable variety of sweet odors, from ylang-ylang to attar or roses. This information doubtless is Intended to serve as a timely spur to our industrial and commercial lethargy. And yet the news fails to carry with it a^y great sense of shame. It is difficult to assign the reason why the possibilities thus pointed out produce little or no enthusiasm, yet such is the Mcase. It must be because the making of perfumes Is not pre-eminently an Indication of national vigor or greatness. Certain it is that their universal use by a people is not a sign of virility. Weak and effeminate nations have been given proverbially to the use of unguents and ointments, whereas eoap and civilization have been inseparably conjoined. So long as we7 lead In soap1 it matters little -who manufactures the aromatics. A good bath is better than much volatile oils, while civet and musk may cover a multitude of sins, especially those of omission. 1 The savings bank figures of the Comptroller of the Currency are impressive in their aggregate; they are leas flattering to national thrift and prosperity when analyzed than is eas ily assumed from a casual glance at their totals, says the Philadelphia Re view. On the other hand, the comptroller's figures relate only to the institutions that bear the name of savings banks, while there are several other classes of Institutions that do the same sort of business, and the savingg-pf-ihe-jeople are far greater THE BELIEF OF CANADIAN GROWERS REGARDING T H E RECIPROCITY PACT. SOME DOUBT W H E T H E R PRODUCT W I L L BE A D M I T T E D FREE. The Question Is Very Important to the Beet Sugar Companies of Canada as Well as to Michigan. Canadian beet sugar companies are unable to learn whether sugar beets will be on the free list if the proposed reciprocity bill between Canada and the United States becomes a law. American Consul Fre"d Slater, located here, has, on request, given his opinion to the Canadian sugar companies, although he staies that nig opinion is without authority, Mr. Slater believes that "beets will be on the free list under the proposed pact, and the companies will ask for an opinion from the Canadian government, while Mr. Slater will also seek information oh the question from Washington authorities. Under the tariff law of 1897, which will continue in force, providing it does not conflict with the compact, the tariff on sugar beets is 25 per cetn ad valorem. At the time the present tariff law went into effect there was considerable misunderstanding over the question whether beets were on the free list. At that than the deposits reported by the savings banks alone. The comptroller reports an Increase in the past fiscal year of 311,000 in the number of depositors, and aggregate deposits of something over $4,000,000,000, an increase of rather more than $300,000,- 000 during the year. The average deposit per capita increased during the year from $420 to $445, but 3 per cent, interest on the sum due depositors a year ago would account for half of this gain; the small remainder is the excess of deposits over withdrawals. Roughly speaking, the depositors gain about 3 per cent, a year by interest and 3 per cent, by deposits in excess- of the sums taken out. In 10 years the number of depositors hasp increased about 50 per cent., and the average deposit has Increased but little more than 10 per cent., or 1 per cent, a year. The brand of "S" figures In an extraordinary act passed, by our parliament in 1547. Any able-bodied man or woman found loitering and not seeking work for the space of three days could be seized and brought^before two justices of the peace, who, upon confession or on the proof of two . witnesses, "shall immediately cause the said laborer to -be marked with a hot iron in the breast the mark of 'V and adjudge the said person living so idly to the presenter, to be his slave for two years. The said slave shall be made to work by beating, chaining or otherwise," sayB the London Chronicle. If convicted of running away during this period, the Justices could cause him to be branded on the forehead or the cheek with the letter "S" and then adjudged to his master as a slave forever; For running away a second time the penalty was death. It would be futile to deny the gravity of the landslides along the Culebra cut. Utterly stupid, on the other hand, it would be to overrate their Importance. The descent of five hundred and fifty thousand cubic yards of loose earth recently was an impressive disaster, but the current issue of the Canal Record states that this slide, added to those which have occurred since last July, does not exceed the total of 6,104,000 cubic yards allowed for slides in the central division in the revised estimates made at |faat time, nor will the added exoar^ tton increase the estimate of cost Of eaosfvttiooi in the central division made in October, 1908. •tttoneaptye journals are now looking for H $500 four-cylinder car of twenty o r *wenty«five horse-power— aH ial»*to*c#me in 1915.

'It was the contention of thfc sugar companies M the time thai beets, not having tyeen specifl'oklly mentioned in the vegetable M«t> should come under the schedule Containing mosses, roots, eto Under the proposed pact, vegetables are placed on the free list, although sugar beets are not specifically mentioned, yet it includes "all other vegetables in their natural state not here mentioned." At the time of the question over the first tariff beets were not used to a large extent for sugar purposes, but were for feeding purposes. It is thought that this may make a difference at the present time, because nearly all the beets are used in t h e manul'dUuns ul sugar, Which consumes much labor, while previous ly the only change made to the beets was topping and washing. The question is Important to the beegS^sugar companies of Canada as weffilfs to Michigan. If beets are on the7 free list it will mean mach more competition for the companies. Especially is this true of the Canadian companies where the price paid Is not aB high as in Michigan. Whether the fact that beets are cheaper in Canada will increase t h e price because of the competition or whether it will decrease the price In the states, is a question which cannot be settled until It has been worked out. The Canadian farmer believes that it will increase the price, without affecting the price of beets in the states. GENERAL NEWS IN BRIEF.

We hear about the romance of Wheat, the ktngly rule of Corn, the commercial dignity of Oats and Alfalfa; of BarJajr. and Rye, and we count them as stnjjcces of great wealth for those who make the earth their servant But, granting to the grains and forages the credit that is due, there1 are vide stretches of land In Idaho/ producing cash yields from potatoes that make the average grain production of states farther east appear exceedingly small. ~ And there are so many more acres, of the same kind, that have not yet been given a chance to show what they can do, that the money-making possibilities of Idaho, so far as potatoes alone are concerned, cannot be estimated. Idaho won, national publicity in 1918 as the result of the awarding of prises of $500 and $260, given by Mr. D. E.

For several blocks he led in the race, but was overhauled after a hard run. Three officers corraled him on the river front Kent of great Importance to the victorious state and of lasting credit to the successful growers. The results of this contest, participated in by so many of the most progressive farmers in the prescribed district, were amazing, and the following account of those results, with figures showing what the returns signify in the matter of profits from the land, should prove Interesting to everyone concerned in agricultural affairs. Through Mr. L. A. Snyder, the first prize of $500 was won by Twin Falls county, Idaho, with the "Dalmeny Challenge" variety of potatoes. The second prize of $250 went to Canyon county, Idaho, through Mr. W. B. Gilmore, with the "Peachblow" variety. On his winning acre of Idaho land Mr. Snyder raised 645 bushels of pota toes, weighing 38,685 pounds. ~ culls weighed 4,150 pounds, leaving 34,535 pounds of the finest marketable potatoes, or about 575 bushels. At 70 cents per 100 pounds, or 42 cents per bushel, the price Mr. Snyder received, the one prize acre produced In money, therefore, the sum of $241.74, besides the 4,150 pounds, or almost 70 bushels, in culls, which were.available for home use. Mr. Snyder has given to the Commercial Club of Twin Falls some further facts showing the possibilities of potato raising in his section of the country. He reports that from three acres of land he harvested 895 sacks of potatoes, averaging 110 pounds to the sack. He sold--1-,-600 bushels at 42 cents per bushel, receiving $630, and he had 75 sacks left for seed. An average gross profit of $210 per acre, when we consider how much smaller Is the average gross profit from an acre of grain, gives the reader a fair Idea of what the intensive potato farming opportunities of Idaho really are. Going a little more extensively Into figures, we may safely presume that the average family of, say, five persons consumes about five pounds of potatoes per day. That ought to be a liberal estimate—a pound of potatoes per day for each member of the famfly, large or small. The 38,685 pounds of potatoes raised by Mr. Snyder on his prize acre of Idaho land would, therefore, supply the potato needs of more than 22 such families for a year, allowing each family 1,725 pounds, or 28¾ bushels. It is fair to say that a $30 gross yield from an acre of wheat is a good <f~return. So we see that, Mr. Snyder's prize acre of potato land brought forth as much money as would eight acres of wheat land. If Mr. Snyder were to realize from ten acres of his potato land aB well as he did from the three acres which gave him $630, he would have $2,100 at the end of the season, besides more than enough spuds for bis own use and for the next season's planting. There's "real money" in Idaho potatoes. "The combination that won the Burley prize," says Mr. Snyder, "was the most productive soil in the West, climate unexcelled, plenty of water for irrigation at all times, one of the best varieties of spuds, and a man with some experience and not afraid of work." His words make clear the advantages and possibilities of the Oregon Short Line country. All of the farmers who entered the contest in which Mr. Snyder carried off first honor came out wonderfully well. Mr. Gilmore harvested 37,476 pounds of "Peachblow" potatoes from the acre that won tor him the second prize, and many others were close competitors. Added encouragement for those who have never tried potato growing as a profit-making business is found in the fact that Mr. Snyder's potato experience began only five years ago. Up to 1905, when he moved to Idaho, he had lived upon cattle and hay ranches, had engaged in dairy, livery and mining work, but had not had experience as a farmer. He took up potato growing in Idaho because be thought It offered an agreeable and profitable occupation, and he has made mmm—mmmmmmmmmmmtammmrmmm. — the results of each year better than those of the year befpeet^ Speaking a short time ago, Mr. Snyder; f*td: "I have always said that we have the best irrigated country in the United States. Mr. Burley gave us a chance to prove it, and. it was as much the opportunity of showing that we could make good, as the money, which, induced me to go into this competition." Notwithstanding his achievement* Mr. Snyder does not believe that hi* record will stand. He has too great a faith in the potato Industry and in Idaho to permit such an opinion. "I do not think we have reached the limit, by a long way," he remarks, confidently, and there are thousands who are familiar with that country wha are ready to echo the assertion. The fact is that large profits from potato raising in Idaho are the rule, not the exception. H. P. Frodsham, a farmer in the American Falls district, commonly takes 600 bushels from an acre, his yield per acre thus being, at 42 cents per bushel, $210. Someone who kntfws the conditions in and the possibilities of Idaho baa eaW that "it is a maxim in southern Idaho that the new settler, with little or no capital, or implements, but with a willingness to work, can plant potatoes on his irrigated farm the first year and make a good living for his family, besides laying aside money to> make all necessary payments on his land." William B. Kelley, who owns a ranch near Gooding, says: "We get so many potatoes to the acre that wa don't stop to count the sacks," Samuel Lewis, also livtef near Gooding, reports as folHJws: "Potatoes grow large and thick. Six potatoes from my field weighed 21 pounds. The crop runs 600 to 600 bnahuls to the acre, and can aways be depended upon." The price received by Mr. Snyder for his prize-winning potatoes does not by any means represent the "top" of the Idaho market. Much higher prices have been commanded at various times, yet at the 42-cent rate received by Mr. Snyder his profits were very large. Scores of instances may be cited to show what tfie lands of Idaho hold In store for those who will put forth the effort that must precede success. Those who have succeeded In thla one task of potato raising, trace their accomplishments to industry, of course, and to a study of conditions and needs. But they could not have reaped such harvests if industry and^ determination had not been fortified ^ £ ^ 4 - b ^ U d f t a l COndHinriB nf r U m f l t a onrt anil Such conditions prevail in the agricultural districts of Idaho. There the ground is rich and eager. There the climate is conducive to the outdoor task. There the scheme of irrigation has been so well prepared and is so unfailing in its supply that growing crops have water when they need it. With water, sunshine and cultivation to bless the crops at proper intervals, the growing of potatoes, or any other agricultural or horticultural industry in Idaho, is as sure of abundant cash returns as any of man's tasks can be, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW Many Women There Are Who Will Understand Just Why Long-Suffering "Worm" Turned, Several years ago an Atchison couple were living happily together. The community was shocked one day when the wife applied for a divorce and got It. The story of the divorce has come out. It seems that the wife went into the kitchen and "slaved" all day. She made bread, pies, cakes, cookies and pork and beans. She boiled a tongue, made a potato salad, stuffed eggs, made a custard and brown bread. When her husband came home at 6 o'clock in the evening he found her dressed up. And on the table was cold tongue, pork and beans, fresh bread, cake, cookies, pie, potato salad, stuffed eggs, brown bread and custard. The wife thought her husband would say: "You poor darling, how you have worked today!" Instead, he said in a surprised way: "COLD supper! Lord, but you have an' easy time!"

Everybody will say he's no "good, tliaT"fie can't be any good or his fatlier wouldn't go back on him. You know what the world is. People will condemn him because you condemn him. They won't even give him a hearing. For God's sake, don't go back on him now!" Mr. Jeffries turned and walked toward the window, and stood there gazing on the trees on the lawn. She did not see his face, but by the nervous twitching of his hands behind his back, she saw that her words had not been without effect. She waited in silence for him to say something. Presently he turned around, and she saw that his face had changed. The look of haughty pride had gone. She had touched the chords of the father's heart. Gravely he said: "Of course you realize that you, above all others, are responsible for his present position." She was about to demur, but she checked herself. What did she care what they thought of her? She was fighting to save her husband, not to make the Jeffries family think better of her. Quickly she answered: "Well, all right—I'm responsible— but don't punish him because of me." Mr.. Jeffries looked at her. Who was this young woman who championed so warmly his own son? She was his wife, of course. But wives of a certain kind are quick to desert their husbands when they are in trouble. There must be some good in the girl, after a!l, ho tho-ght. Hesitatingly, he said: "I could have forgiven him everything, everything but—" "But me," she said promjptly. "I know i t Don't you suppose I feel it, too, and don't you suppose it hurts?" Mr. Jeffries stiffened up. This woman was evidently trying to excite his sympathies. The hard, proud expression came back into his face, as. he answered curtly: "Forgive me for speaking' plainly, but my son's marriage with such a woman as you has made it impossible to even consider the question of reconciliation." With all her efforts at sell-control, Annie would have been more than human had she not resented the insinuation in this cruel speech. For a moment she forgot the Importance of preserving amicable relations, and she retorted: "Such a woman as me? That's pretty plain—. But you'll have to speak eves more plainly. What do you mean when you say such a woman as me? What have 1 done?" Mr,, Jeffries looked out of the winow without answering, andLjJie went A P m i f f i A ' D W E <E>L7 RO[nrOQ(!D[M)0.aT7AK QUITE THIRD DEGREE ^CHARLES KLEIN Y v ARTHUR HORNBLOrV Y 1LLU5TRAT10NS BY RA5T \*ALTEH$ ewvwCTT, no*, *r,G.w.

There's nothing against me personally—nothing disgraceful, I mean. I know I'm not educated. I'm not a lady in your sense of the word, but I've led a decent life. rI here isn't a breath of scandal against me—not a breath. Hut what's the good oi talking about me? Never mind me. I'm not asking for anything. What are you going to do for him? He must have the best lawyer that nioney can procure—none of those barroom orators. Judge Hrewster, your lawyer, is the man. We want Judge Hrewster." Mr, Jeffries shrugged his shoulders. —"fyrepeat—my s"onTs marriage with Ihe^daughter of a man who died in prison—" She interrupted him. "That was hard luck—nothing but hard luck.^You're not going to make me responsible for that, are you? Why, I was only eight years old when that happened. Could I have prevented it?" Recklessly she went on: "Well, blame it on me if you want to, but don't hold it up against Howard. He didn't know it when he married me. He never would have known it but for the detectives employed by you to dig up my family history, and the newspapers did the rest. God! what they didn't say! I never realized I was of so much importance. They printed it in scare-head lines. It made a fine sensation for the public, but it destroyed ray peace of mind." "A convict's daughter!" said Mr. Jeffries contemptuously. "He was a good man at that!" she answered hotly. "He kept the squarest poolroom in Manhattan, but he refused to pay police blackmail, and he was railroaded to prison." Indignantly she went on: "If my father's shingle had been up in Wall street, and he'd made 50 dishonest millions, you'd forget it next morning, and you'd welcome me with open arms. But he was unfortunate. Why, Billy Delmore was the best man in the world. He'd give away the last dollar he had to a friend. I wish to God he was alive now! He'd help to save your son. I wouldn't have to come her& to ask you." Mr. Jeffries shifted uneasily on his feet and looked away. "You don't seem to understand," he said impatiently. "I've completely cut him off from the family. It's as if he were dead." She approached nearer and laid her hand gently on the banker's arm. "Don't say that Mr. Jeffries. It's wicked to say that about your own son. He's a good boy at heart, and he's been so good to me. Ah, if you only knew how hard he's tried to get work I'm sure you'd change your opinion of him. Lately he's been drinking a little because he was disappointed in not getting anything to do. But he tried so hard. He walked the streets night and day. Once he even took a position as guard on the elevated^ road. Just think of it, Mr. Jeffries, your son—to such straits were we reduced—but he caught cold and had to give It up.

Sarcastically, he said: "And \ou took a d v a n t a g e of t h e , fact and married h i m ? " F o r a moment she made no reply. She felt the reproach was not unrmrited„ but why should they blame her for seeking happiness? Was she not entitled to it as much as any other j w o m a n ? She had not married How-j ard for his social position or his money, in fact, she had been worse : off since her m a r r i a g e than she was before. She married him because she j loved him, and because she thought she could redeem him, and she was ready to go through any -amount of suffering to prove he;* disinterested devotion, Quietly, she said: "YesTT know—I did wrong. Hut I— I love him, Mr. Jeffries. Believe me or not—I love him. It's my only excuse. I thought I could take care of him. He needed some one to look after him, he's too easily influenced. You know his character is not so strong as it might be. He told me that his fellow students at college used to hypnotize him and make him do all kinds of things to amuse the other boys, He says that somehow he's never been the same since. I—I~just loved him because I was strong and he was weak. I thought I could protect him. But now this terrible thing has happened, and I find I am powerless. It's too much for me. I can't fight this battle alone. Won't you help me, Mr. Jeffries?" she added pleadingly. "Won't you help me?" The banker was thoughtful a minute, then suddenly he turned on her. "Will you consent to a divorce If I agree to help him?" She looked at him with dismay. There was tragic tenseness in this dramatic situation—a father fighting for his son, a woman fighting for her husband. "A divorce?" she stammered. "Why, I never thought of such a thing as that." "It's the only way to" save him," said the banker coldly. "The only way?" she faltered. "The only way," gaid Mr. JrTr1<--5 firmly. "Do you consent?" he asked. Annie threw up her head. Her pale face was full of determination, as she replied resignedly, catching her breath as she spoke: "Yes. if it must be. I will consent to a divorce—to save him!" "You will leave the country and go abroad to live?" continued the banker coldly. She listened as in a dream. That she would be confronted by such an alterative as this had never entered her mind. She wondered why the world was so cruel and heartless. Yet if the sacrifice must be made to save Howard she was ready to make it. "You will leave America and never return—is that understood?" repeated the banker."' "Yes, sir," she replied falteringly. Mr. Jeffries paced nervously up and down the room. For the first time he seemed to take an interest in the interview. Patronizingly he said: "You will receive a yearly allowance through my lawyer." Annie tossed up her chin defiantly. She would ihow the aristocrat that she could be as proud as he was. "Thanks;: she exclaimed. "1 don't accept charity. I'm used to earning my own living." "Oh, very well," replied the banker quickly. "That's as you please. Hut I have yeur promise—you will not attempt to see him again?" "What! Not see him once more? To say good-by?" she exclaimed. A broken sob half checked her utterance. "Surely you can't mean that, Mr. .Jeffries." The banker shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want the newspapers filled with sensational articles about the heartrending farewell interview between Howard Jeffries, Jr., and his wife—with your picture on the front page." She was not listening to his sarcasm. "Not even to say good-by?" she sobbed. - "No,"—replied- Or.—Jeffries—firmly. "Not even to say good-by." "Hut what will he say? What will ho think?" she cried. "He will see it is for the best." answered the banker, "lie himself will thank you for your action." There was a long silence, broken only by the sound of the girl's sobbing. Finally she said: "Very well, sir. I'll do as you say." She looked up. Her eyes were dry. the lines about her mouth set and determined. "Now," she said, "what are you going to do for him?" The banker made a gesture of impatience, as if such considerations were not important. "I don't know yet," he said, haughf ily. "I •-hii.ll think the matter uver carefully.'.' A n n i e was fast losing patience. She was M i l l i n g in sacrifice herself and « i \ e up e v e r y t h i n g she. held dear i;i H i " In .sii v > i he man she loved, but the cnld, deliberate, c a l c u l a t i n g a ' l j - I ude of tlii;, u n n a t u r a l lal IK r oxaspelated her.

"I'm paving d< arly for it with my with all I have, I want to know just what you're going to give hjm for j ; . " He was lost in reflection for a moment, then he said, pompously: "I shall furnish the money for tho 'employment of such legal talent as may he necessary. Tiiat's as far as I wish to go in the case. It must not be known- I cannot allow it to be known that I am helping him." "Must not be known?" cried Annie, in astonishment. "You mean you won't stand by him? You'll only just pay for the lawyer?". The banker nodded: "That is all I can promise." She laughed hysterically. "Why," she exclaimed, "I—I could do that myself If I—I tried hard enough," "I can promise nothing more," replied Mr, Jeffries* coldly. "But that is not enough," she protested. "I want you to come forward and publicly declare your belief in your son's innocence, I want you to put your arms around him and say to the world: 'My boy is innocent! I know it and I'm going to stand by him.' You won't do that?" Mr. Jeffries shook his head. "It is impossible." The wife's pent-up feelings now gave way. The utter indifference of this aristocratic father aroused her indignation to such a pitch that she became reckless of the consequences. They wanted her to desert him, Just as they deserted him, but she wouldn't. She would show them the kind of woman she was. "So!" she cried In an outburst of mingled anger and grief. "So his family must desert him and Ms wife must leave him! The poor !>"•• - u s t stand absolutely alone in the .mid, and face a trial for his life! Is that the idea?" The banker made no reply. Snapping her fingers, she went on: "Well, it isn't mine, Mr. Jeffries! I won't consent to a divorce! I won't leave America! And I'll see him Just as often as I can, oven If I have to sit In the Tombs prison all day. As for his defense, I'll find some one. I'll go to Judge Brewster again and If he still refuses, I'll go to some one else. There must be some good, big-hearted lawyer In this great city who'll take up his case." Trembling wtth emotion, she read- Justed her veil and with her handkerchief dried her tear-stained face.. Going toward the door, she said: "You needn't trouble yourself any more, Mr. Jeffries. We shan't need your help. Thank you very much for the interview. It was very kind ef you to listen so patiently. Good afternoon, sjr." Before the astonished banker could stop her, she had thrown back the tapestry and disappeared throuffc the door. (TO BBVCOStWUBD.) 325,000 IN ONE YEAR m f i i THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA SURPASSES ALL RECORD. <J The returns recently issued by the Canadian Immigration Branch shows that upwards of 325,000 persons arrived in Canada during the past twelve months, declaring their intention of becoming settlers In that country. Of this number about 130,000 were from the United ^tate/, the balance being from the British Isles and Northern Europe. It will thus be seen that the sturdy farming element that has gone forward from the United States is being splendidly supplemented by an equally sturdy settlement from across the seas). The lure of Canadian wheat, oatB, barley and flax grown on the rich prairie of Western Canada is constantly attracting more and more, and year by year the tide of immigrants to the Western Canada pi litis increases; there is no ebb to this tide. The Canadian authorities are not surprised at the number from the United States being as large as It is but they did not look for so large an immigration from the old countries. Still, they will not be found unprepared. Reception halls are in readiness at all important points In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, surveyors were at work during the past season opening up new districts on which to place those seeking free homesteads of 1C0 acres each, railways have been projecting laterals from their main lines, and every provision has been taken to accommodate the newcomer. A recent dispatch from Antwerp reads: "The diversion of European emigration from the United States to Canada Is -saldr to be seriously affecting the Atlantic steamshfp lines. The Red Star today gives up to the America-Canada line two of the best special emigrant steamers afloat, the Gothland and the Samland. These vessels heretofore in the Antwerp-New York service are now to be operated from Rotterdam to Canadian porta." On the date of the above dispatch word came to the Immigration branch that the "Vanguard of the 1911 army of United States settlers reached Winnipeg at 1:.'50 o'clock this morning. There was a solid train load of effects, comprising 41 carloads and two colonist sleepers attached to the train, which contained tiie members of 25 families.

In addition to machinery and household effects there were a largo number of horses and cattle. Some of the farmers had also brought along gas tractor;;, which will be put right— to work on ground breaking." One of the agents of the Canadian government advises that it would appear as if each month of tho present year would Bhow a large increase overthe past year. Tho demand for the literature of the department, describing the country and its resources, is greater than_it ever hasbeen. The Moet Beautiful Thing. A newspaper recently invited Its readers to state in a few words what they considered the most beautiful thing in the world. The first prize was awarded to the sender of the answer: "The eyes of my mother." "The dream of that which we know to be impossible" suggested an Imaginative person, and this brought him second prize. But the most amusing thing was that which read, "The most beautiful thing in the world is to see a man carrying his mother In-law across a dangerous river without making any attempt to drop her in."

He has had charge of stations in Atlanta, Syracuse, Atlantic City, Ithaca and was for three years in charge of the station at Havana, Cuba. Devereaux has just been to Washington, and during his visit he and Chief Forecaster Moore of the weather office there, discussed the possibilities of establishing an observation station in Burnet Woods "It seems to me that such a station is absolutely necessary in this city," Mr. Deveieaux said, "and^ it surprises me very much that one was not built a good many years ago, as Cincinnati is one of the moat important stations in the Country. I believe that Congress will not hesitate to grant the money necssary for the establishment of the station." Mr. Devereaux declares that the value of the weather office to commerce has never been appreciated as it has been in the last five years, and that its worth to business is greater than the average citizen realizes.

His temperature is greatly reduced His oough is lessened. But he has so much lung tissue involved that the case is still doubtful.

SSi w i:*r The story of this case is simply this. Ten weeke ago Mr. Jason E. Hammond Ex-Supt of Public Instruction of Michigan went to see this teacher on a business proposition. Mr. Hammond found tbe teacher very much depressed. He said I have just been informed that my son who is going down so rapidly with Tuberculosis, can live only a few weeks at the most There is nothing more that can be done for him- Only to make him as comfortable as possible for the little time he remains. . Mr. Hammond spoke to him about the Oxidase Tablets and asked the privilege of sending some to him. This he did and after taking the first box then the teacher ordered, and this is the third time the teacher has ordered. The son has taken about 300 tablets. Nothing strange about that you say? No not very. But it does appeal to me as a very remark*ble thing* That when a man bas been gowing down the Tobocan slide of this awfal disease for all these months, when all bas been done that could be done, and yet be went down and down nntil all hope was gone. Body filled with poison. Lnng tissue so much involved, appetite SXMM. Temperature high. That then by the use of the Oxidaze he could be caught in his downward course. His cough relieved, his temperature lessened, appetite improved The progress of the disease stayed for a time and now turned back toward recovery. This boy may not get well; BUT FRIEND, what would have been the resuts had Oxidaze been used in the early stages of the oase. II so much oaa be accomplished now? On the 30th day of last March a Physician in Syracuse, N. T., told me that he had 4 oases of Tuberculosis on Oxidaze Tablets and he said that he was going to save 8 of them. One must be lost. Oxidaze activates the resisting power of the system to overcome and expell bacteria invasion. It contains no Opiate, or Narcoic, can produce no Toxic effect We desire to avoid every extravigant statement We will not intentionally over estimate. But we believe that Oxidate is a very efficient remedy in cases of Asthmas Croup, Pneumonia and Tuberculosis If you have a friend that cannot afford to buy it come to me and I will be glad to furnish you with i t One Dr used 9000 tablets in 3 months. Another used 8500 in ths same time. Another noted Lung specialist had used 7200 in 4 months since he began, and is still using them. When we firet went to him about it he said, Gentlemen yon don't know what you are talking about. This thing cannot do what you claim. We believe that it is a moral obligation resting upon us to reach every individual possible with a knowledge of what Oxidaze is doing. Write me or ask me what you desire to do( ^ Professional questions I will refer to some of my local Dr. friends or to our staff of physicians at the home otVe at Worohester, Mass.

Norman Drue© stepped iiito the first taxi he spied as he made his exit from !the theater. The musical comedy had ibeon good and Druce stretched out his (long legs contentedly as the cab wheeled him homeward. He looked down at his well shod feet which \caught the remnants of light from [brilliant Broadway. Something more brilliant than his shoes sparkled in the lights that sifted through the cab window. Druce stooped to pick it up. lit was a wedding, ring. "By jove!" muttered Druce to himiself. "Some fair) damsel Is in tears by this time^-lost her wedding ring I Humph! She has a good big .hand [who ever she is—why, this fits my litftle. finger." Druce leaned forward into the light and examined the ring. It was a very (broad band of gold. "There is a lot of writing Inside, but ,this beastly light—I can't make out a (letter." After several turnings and jtwistlnga of the ring Druce gave up jthe attempt to decipher the • inscription. He leaned back again, slipped the {ring into his vest pocket and gave (himself up to a vision of Daphne jVenne, the star of the musical comedy to which he had just listened. Norman Druce had realized when the jatar flrat floated out upon the stage jthat she had createa~gfeat Tfavbc In Ihis brain and heart. Through the {performance he counted each moment Host when she was not on the stage. ; For the first time, Druce had a (strong desire to Join the ranks of 'stage-door Johnnies; bis better reason, however, prevented his going further than to send an exquisite bunch of lilies of the valley which Daphne JVenne wore in the third act. Druce was not a man given to sUdjden infatuations, but he could not 'deny the suddenness of this situation. !The glorious -fed gold hair which fell to her waist and the big, affectionate gray eyes, the fascination of the smile of the actress had all swung their make Inquiry regarding the girl's present address. Druce was given an address which was not far from his own apartments. When he had finished dinner Druce went in Bearch of the couple who had lost the ring. Upon inquiry, the hall boy told him that Mr. and Mrs. Venne were at the theater every night. For the first time the significance of the name appealed to Druce. Daphne Venne! That was the'name of the girl in the play—the girl who had stolen his heart. And she was married; her full name must be Mary Daphne Venne. Druce had not the heart to make fuYther inquiry but promptly hailed a taxi and gave the name of the theater. He again thought of Daphne Venne and the beauty of her eyes and the exqulsiteness of her dancing, her singing and the charm of her smile, yet now it was as the wife of another that he thought of her. "Strange that she wore my flowers," thought Druce as he made his way to. the stage box. Toward the end of the performance Druce sent a note to the star. In it h e mentioned the fact that he w a s l n possession of a wedding ring he had found. Druce knew that if the ring was hers no other information w a s necessary. ' He received^n answer immediately. Miffs Venne would be pleased to Bee him after the perfromance. An usher would take him to her dressing room. When the curtain had rung down and Norman Druce found himself following an usher to the star's dressingroom, an irritating excitement possessed him. Dozens of chorus girls brushed laughingly past him, but he was unconscious of their glances. Outside the door, Druce had to wait a moment. When it opened and Daphne Venne stood before him in a simple clingy little gown of golden brown and her beautiful face free from make-up, Druce expected his heart to stop beating—she was so pure and flWPPt pnfl wn"Horfni in her simple Chorus Girls Brushed Laughingly Past Him. magic Into his heart. With#no reason whatever for the feeling, Druce had been conscious of a personal pride at the tremendous applause of her audience. It was not until he reached in his waistcoat pocket for change with which to pay the chauffeur that Druce remembered the wedding ring that he had found. He was about to give It to the iman when he decided that it wolfed be much better in his own care. In/the light of his apartment, Druce examined the Inscription within the ring. He matfsr it out easily. "'Mary and John, 1909, Church Around the Corner.' Well, of all the idiotic things to put in a ring!" expostulated Druce. "John and Mary! Craa Scott!

At three o'clock the next day Druce arrived at the church. Luckily, the curate was entering the church when Norman Druce sought admittance and permission to examine the records of marriage. He -.•as soon scanning a list of marriages contracted in nineteen-bundretf- *tj&«lne. Each name in that seemjljgry endless list had to be studied h^a hope of finding not too many '«*aes bearing the names of JMary and John.

"You are Mr. Druce?" she questioned, as she held open the door for him to enter. For answer and partly because it was difficult to speak, Druce held out the wedding ring, She took it eagerly. "Oh, how good of you to bring it to me—how in the world did you ever find out to whom it belonged?" "I went to the church and looked up all the Marys and Johns who had ever married," Druce laughed. Daphne Venne joined him and her oyeB looked squarely Into his. "It was very, very good of you and I thank you. Mr. Venne will be even more delighted than I am—he was very much upset about the loss." "I assure you—I can't blame him." Try as he might Druce could not help the admiration in his eyes. Daphne Venne colored beneath it. There seemed to be nothing more to say and Druce turned as if he would go. "You won't mind, Mrs. Venne, lf~ I send you a floral tribute now and again—lilies of the valley—they added a charming touch to your costume last night. I am an admirer of your work." "It was you who sent me those beauties last night? I thank you very much—look!" She pointed to her dressing table and Druce saw his flowers. "I love to smell them while dressing," Daphne Venne said. "I must go." Norman Druce held out his hand and she slipped hers into It. "Wouldn't you like to meet my brother? He can thank you hlmBelf for having restored his wedding ring—" "Your brother!" Druce turned qnickly and caught the dawn of a smile in Daphne's eyes. "Yes—he often brings me to t h e theater—so I won't get lost." She smiled whimsically. "It was no doubt then that he dropped MB ring. My sister-in-law, Mary Daphne Venne, believes in the foreign custom of a man wearing a ring, also." "But your name—Daphne Venne?"

The college collector of antiques stopped off at Bacon Ridge. "Good day, sir," he said, addressing the postmaster. "I am collecting oldfashioned articles and would like to know if I could find anything like that in his hamlet. Say antique mugs, for Instance." Unele Jason stroked his- chiawhiakers. "Antique mugs! By hek, I know the very place where thar be two of them now." "You do? Here's a good cigar. Now where can I find these antique mugs?" "Why, down on Main street, in Hiram Spruceby's shop.

"Horace Greeley invented the typewriter." "Where did you get that idea?" "Well, that isn't exactly what I mean, but his handwriting was probably more responsible for it than any other one thing."

All things are relative, and to the child, gazing at life' and its wonders with eyes as yet undimmed by sophistication or sorrow, nothing is Impossible, nothing unspeakable, nothing too sacred to be discussed or too difficult to be attempted. Not irreverence nor impertinence, but innocence prompts such speeches as that recorded of the child of a popular journalist by his devoted paternal grandmother. "Grandma," said the little boy, delightedly addressing her, "do you know what's going to happen? Papa says that if .we're real, real good, he'll take us to the circus!" "That's nice," smiled the younghearted adult between whom and the eager youngling no hint of age separation mars perfect comradship. "How good do we have to be?"

In his native town Jimmy had always been most popular with young and old, but when he was sent away to boarding school, he was for a time too homesick to make friends. His first letter was little more than a wail. "I'm way behind the other boys In everything," he wrote, dolefully. " 'Tisn't only studies, but it's gymnasium and banjos and everything. I don't believe they'll ever have much use for me." But the second letter, written after a week in the new school, was quite different In tone. "I'm all right," he wrote to his mother. "The boys say they'll teach me all they know, for they're proud to have me here. I can stretch my mouth half an inch wider than any other boy in school, and my feet are the longest by a, full inch, feo you needn't worry about me any more."— Youth's Companion. Had His Troubles.

Is It possible to nourish, strengthen and Rebuild the Brain by Food? Every man who thinks uses up part of the brain each day. Why don't it all disappear and leave an empty skull in say a month of brain work? Because the man rebuilds each day. , If he builds a' little leas than he destroys, brain fag and nervous prostration result sure. K ho b;:?l<".:;. back a little more ca: h (:ay,"7h"e" br:i;:: gro-'V;; ntlinger una more capable. Tha: also iu bwre. Where does man get the material to rebuild his brain? Is it from air, sky or the ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to think about it, the rebuilding material must be in the food and drink. ' That also is sure. Are the brain rebuilding materials found in all food? In a good variety but not in suitable proportion in all. To illustrate: we know bones are made largely of lime and magnesia taken from food; therefore to make healthy bone structure we must have food containing these things. We would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make healthy bone structure in a growing child. Likewise if we would feed in a skillful manner to insure getting what the brain requires for strength and rebuilding, we must first know what the brain is composed of and then select some article or articles (there are more than one) that contain these elements. Analysis of braid by an unquestionable authority. Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts, Phosphoric Add and Potash combined (Phosphate of Potash) 2.91 per cent of the total, 6.33 of all mineral Salts. This is over one-half. Beaunis, another authority, shows "Phosphoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.44 per cent from a total of 101.07. Considerable more than, one-half of Phosphate of Potash. Analysis of Grape-Nuts and Phosphorus (which phate of Potash) is conslderabl one-half of all the Dr. Geo. W. Carey, an authority on tin constituent oleirenUi of the body, rays: "The gray jpatter of the .brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phoo phate (Phosphate of Potasb). This salt nnit, with albumen and by the addition oT oxygen creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain. Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potassium'' Phosphate is the chief factor and has the power within itself to attract, by its own law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture the elixir of life." Further on he says: "The beginning and end of the matter" is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes itr in vegetables, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies—this is the only law of cure." The natural conclusion is that if Phosphate of Potash is the needed mineral element in brain and you use food which does not contain it, you have brain fag because its daily loss Is not supplied. On the contrary, if you eat food known to be rich in this clement, you place before the life forces that which nature demands for brain-building. Mind does not work well on a brain that is broken down by lack of nourishment. ' A peaceful and evenly poised mind is necessary to good digestion. Worry, anxiety, fear, hate, etc., etc., directly interfere with or stop the flow of Ptyalln, the digestive juice of the mouth, and also Interfere with the flow of the digestive juices of stomach and pancreas. Therefore, the mental state of the individual has much to do (more than suspected) with digestion. Brain is made of Phosphate of Potash as t V rr ncipal Mineral Salt, added,, to albumen d water. Grape-Nuts contain that element as more than one-half of all Its mineral salts. A healthy brain is Important, if one would "do things" in this world. A man who sneers at "Mind" sneers at the best and least understood part of himselfv That part which some folks believe links us to the Infinite. Mind asks for a healthy brain upon which to act, and Nature has denned a way to make a healthy brain and renew it day by day as it is used up from work of the* previous day. Nature's way to rebuild is by the use of food which supplies the things required. Brain rebuilding material is certainly found in Grape-Nuts «• re's a Reason" Postum Cereal Company, Licit Battle Creek, Mich. ! - ' • ; &"t • ^ ^ •£& ''••+* ^ . , v*J "\i/ • . * s ^4»i^-«ir*' k !.&* • .

H. Fisher. The piggery, of which a ground floor plan Is shown herewith, is the latest acquisition at The Cedars looking to the comfort of the animals and their attendant, writes W. H. Fisher jot—Franklla—county,—Qhio,-- -in the Breeders' Gazette. The building runs north and south, so that the sun shines into each compartment at some hour of the day. The dimensions are !48 feet 10 inches by 21 feet four Inches and the studding Is 14 feet. A glance at the floor plan shows that there are four pens 8 by 8 feet and four 8 by 12 feet, with a tilting window and sliding door 2 by 4 feet in eachf A hanging door above and in front of each trough makes it possible to feed from the passageway and also to keep animals out of the trough Until the feed is placed therei n / On the hardwood sills, which are 2 by 8 Inches, bolted every 6 feet to the concrete foundation, rests a brick wall 40 Inches high laid in cement mortar, Inside of (not between) the studding, forming an air space of 4 innhcu (tnicuness of studding) between the wall and the siding. This wall is covered with cement mortar and joins the concrete floor, which is curved up to cover and protect the sills, making It possible by the use of hot water and-steam to maintain the highest sanitary conditions. The drainage of each pen is toward the sliding door. Partitions are 4 feet high and those between pens as well as all outside fences are of electric-welded fencing, stapled to hardwood railings, which in the yards are bolted to extra hea/tfy cedar posts capped with galvanized iron and all given two coats of paint. .'This piggery, which was designed especially for winter comfort, is selfcontained. A 200-barrel cistern underneath takes the water from three down spouts on the east side, not shown, a force pump puts the water either into the slop casks, each holding 100 gallons, into a tank upstairs, or into the boiler, as may be desired. Feed is drawn through chutes from bins upstairs and there is yet room for a winter's supply of straw, clover, alfalfa and oat-pea hay, which is put down* through hatches at either end of the passageway. These hatches are provided with stairs which swing up and hook under the celling when not in use. The boiler, which holds but 17 gallons of water, makes steam rapidly and will thoroughly cook the 200 gallons of feed in 30 minutes, besides heating water in the tank upstairs for houseoleaning and for washing pigs preparatory to shipment. Breakfast for the poultry is also cooked by steam and we utilize the boiler at' butchering time and for cooking the dormarit spray solution for our orchards. With this small amount of artificial heat the piggery is sufficiently warm to enable the sows to farrow whenever the spirit moves them, and we know that no ears, tails or lives will be sacrificed to Jack Frost. Each pen contains a sleeping floor, so that no animal need lie on the cement flopr pxfppt from choice. T*he sllding doors a r e operated by sash cord over pulleys from the passageway. The slop casks are elevated 15 inches so that feed is drawn into buckets through large molasses gateB. The expense complete, including allowance for our own time at 20 cents per hour and the same for teams, was a trifle over $1,200.

I fT*Y A T T.irfih ^ i In the summer season when the animals are allowed the range of the pasture they can, In a measure at least, balance their own rations. Some feeders aim at a maintenance ration only during the winter season and depend for a profit during the summer. Others feed for growth or production during the winter. In the maintenance ration there is no profit or no gain during the winter and the feed is consumed In keeping the animal alive. If a feed Is used that contains an excess of carbonaceous matter the excess practically is wasted. Upon the other hand if an excess of protein is contained in the feed thlB excess is wasted. Generally speaking the feeds produced on the farm contain an excess of carbonaceous matter and it becomes necessary to use some of the concentrates to balance. Corn has a nutritive ratio of 1 to 9, wheat and oats have a nutritive ratio of near 1 to 6, buckwheat has a nutritive ratio of 1 to 7. A well balanced ration for a horse is near 1 to 8, for milch cows 1 to 5, for a hog 1 to 5. Then the ash or mineral contents of a feed Bhould have some consideration. An animal must have some mineral matter in its ration in order to grow and maintain a strong frame-work. Corn is very deficient In mineral matter. Digester tankage is very rich in both protein and mineral matter and it is one of our best materials for balancing a hog ration. Wheat bran, cotton seed meal and oil meal, all are much richer in both protein and mineral matter than the whole grain. The protein and mineral matter contained in them make these feed stuffs valuable for both milch cows and* young gfowing animals.

My wife considers me careless, a,b» sentmtnded and generally untrustworthy. fine never gives me a letter to post without Insisting upon tying a string around my finger and a knot In my handkerchief just as If I were a little boy. She objects to my having more than fifty cents In my pocket at one time because she declares I never Btop ufter buying a cigar to receive my change, and half the time car conductors return me fen or fifteen cents short change. My wife recently went to the country, leaving cards stuck up all over the house bearing such miserable injunction* as this: "Take the silver upstairs at night" "Lock the front door." "Count your change." Of course-1 tore them down as soon as she had left When I parted from her at the station she told me that she had left her jewel case in her bureau drawer and made me promise that I would go straight home and put it in the safe. Instead I went to my office Intending to go home at noon and attend to the matter. It was three days before I removed that jewel case. Before doing so I examined the contents to make sure the articles were all present, and found that a valuable diamond ring always kept there was missing. It behooved me to recover that ring before my wife's return or take the consequences, the nature of which I was quite aware. Fortunately the owner was to remain away several weeks. I advertised a large reward for the ring and no questions asked. A couple of weeks passed and nothing was heard of the ring. I meditated having a duplicate made with paste diamonds. But I had no pattern for a workman to copy and had lhtle hope of deceiving my wife if I bad. She wrote me frequently asking if I did this and I did that and if everything was safe. I replied that I did everything she commanded and a great deal more. When-sfae asked If I had put her jewel case in the safe I said I had—but not when. Lastly when she asked if all the jewels were there, I wrote, "Your jewels are safe^' meaning that they were in the safe.

A week befosn my wife returned I absented myself from my office, giving my time entirely to hunting the pawnshops to which everybody knows stolen articles usually And their way. Near the end of that period I found the ring. 1 proved my ownership, or, rather, my wife's ownership, and secured the property. Then I asked the proprietor bow he came by it. He told me that it had been brought to him by a woman who acted as a gobetween for persons who wished to pawn articles, but were too respectable to be seen 'entering a pawnshop. He gave me the address of this broker, and I went to see her. "That ring was stolen," I said to her, "but I don't suppose you knew this whep you pawned it. If you Will tell me who brought it to you I'll make no trouble about your receiving stolen property." She said that she couldn't leave her shop at the time, there being no one to take her place, but if I would call the next afternoon she would take me to the thief. I took the ring home and put it in Its place, glad enough to escape the obloquy that would have been heaped upon me for my forgetfulness. That night my wife returned and found the house in good condition and nothing missing. I felt very fine over this, assuming some superiority by telling her that for her to leave out the Jewel case just before going away was simply shocking, i f I hadn't hurried home to take care of it something might have been lost. She made no reply, and I was glad she didn't, for it would have been a catalogue of my own past offenses. The next afternoon I left the office early and called on the woman broker who was to show me the thief. She was ready for me, and we sallied forth together. The route we took led my way, which was, to say the least, convenient She finally turned into the street In which I lived, moving in the direction of my home. What was my astonishment when she stopped at my own door? "All right," I said, trying to conceal my feelings. "Now describe the thief." She described my own wife. It was now a clear case that the jewel was«aot in the case at the time of my wife's departure. Being curious to know why she had pawned it, I wlghed to speak to her about the matter, but if I did so I would criminate myself in the matter of neglect I waited till we were together one evening in her room before dinner and the Jewel case was on her dresser. I looked over the contents and asked: "My dear, I don't see your double diamond ring here." Then she confessed that she bad pawned it to get a scapegrace brother of hers out of a scrape. I looked very serious. "I discovered the loss when I put your case in the safe," I said. "I have recovered i t Here it is.* I banded It to her and told her how I supposed it-had been stolen and found it in a pawnshop.

There has been a u t & leiqeSit over the decadence *>t the famous Yankee seamanship, •but after the passing of the clipper «nd] whaling fleets at laBt has come to the high seas a new breed of American* who. are the equals If not the superiors of the old. The mechanical . genius of the nation has sent many young men to the steamships of the .navy and the merchant marine, mays the Cleveland Leader. Ninety per cent, of the sailor-mechanics of the United States navy are American born. Twenty years ago, the proportion of Americans on merchant vessels was only about 30 per cent.. In [1910 the proportion was 49 per cent., the natives heavily predominating ever the naturalized. The showing Ifcr this year will be even better, as the movement of Americans to the sea has been steadily increasing for several years. In many ways the mariners of the new Bchool are better than the old shellbacks that heaved a t the cap'stan bar and lay out on the end of the yardarm. The demands of steam and electrical machinery require a different kind of skill and more intelligence.

W a r n e r , Dr. Snyder and Others Spoke Agains'i Reciprocity. science makes it necessary for them to keep mentally freBh and alert. They know'-more and are more progressive than the old-time sailor and In their habits they are cleaner. A strong movement is to be started In England to limit the reading of trashy novels, which are perverting the emotions and lowering the thought of the youth. Some of the most influential men in England have Joined the movement. As a general thing, parents do not realize the harm the Indiscriminate reading of novels is doing their children. The constant reading of novels, even of good ones, weakens the mind. It has about the camo effect on the mind that lunuglng in a hammock or floating down stream has on the muBcles. The mind, to appreciate truth, has to deal with truth, and encounter and overcome obstacles that are in its way. Lacking this exercise it grows weak and flabby. The parent might as well, from the very start, give' up his child, so far as worth and>floble destiny in this world is concerned, who is a constant reader of novels. The Michigan state fair has been dragged into the Canadian reciprocity issue by the Wolverine farmers who are in Washington to fight the measure, and it it said that, should a delegation come from Detroit to tight for reciprocity, the farmers of the state will retaliate by avoiding the state fair in Detroit next September. President Snyder of the Michigan Agricultural college declares his doubt of any very strong pro-reciprocity argument from Detroiters. Detroit needs the farmers, the college president insists, but the farmer can get along without Detroit, as other cities in Michigan can supply the farmer's needs. Other members of the farmer delegation take the same view, and they talk of reprisals against the Michigan metropolis if it takes what the farmers believe is a "selfish stand for its own supposed gain against the interests of the rural districts.' A Buffalo delegation of 100 is in Washington urging reciprocity and the Michigan grangers are raising the cry that the Bisons came at the brewers' instigation. "It's a move to get free barley from Canada," is the talk. "The brewers want to get cheaper material." N. P. Hull, master of the Michigan Grange, declares he has no knowledge of such a move in Detroit, but the point is made that Canadian reciprocity will put cereals in the free list. With the liquor interests versus the "drys" drawn into the reciprocity ftgtr-ffte contest is admitted h*re to take on new angles, On the 'other side of the argument Senator Stone sprung a sensation while the Michigan farmers were before the senate committee, by asking A variation of the Enoch Arden story comes from a fJew York town, where ;a man who had deserted Jiis wife had the uncomfortable experience of having her unexpectedly walk In on him and have him arrested. If this variation could only replace the original practice, It would be* much better for the community in general and have the effect of reducing the number of these wanderers from their own firesides, who have formed a distinct class of public nuisances. A Michigan lawyer has found a new way to break'a will. One of his clients spoke his will into the trumpet of a phonograph and had the record put away. His lawyer, by dropping the record, smashed it into a thousand pieces. It seems to be impossible to make a will that some lawyer can't break, somehow. thai a subpuuu, be inuued compelling the appearance of the law firm of Allen. & Graham of New York, anA directing it to produce all the anti-reciprocity literature it has printed or written. Mr. Hull declared the firm was employed by the grangers, and a stormy argument ensued. Stone remarked that if nothing was the matter there ought to be no objection to the lawyers coming and Hull said he not only had no objection, but would have the lawyers come without a subpena. Editor Waterbury of the Michigan Farmers said the farmer never has had the, real benefit of protection because production exceeded demand, but the time is near when this condition will cease and the farmer can get higher prices unless reciprocity prevents. M. J. Lawrence, publisher of the Michigan Farmer, ex-Gov. Warner, Dr. Snyder and C. E. Bassett also spoke against reciprocity.

In the very heart of Manhattan, right in the center of the city's most congested district, an imposing edifice of gray stone, medieval'in its style of architecture, towered high above all the surrounding dingy offices and squalid tenements. Its massive construction, steep walls, pointed turrets, raiseu parapets ana long, narrow, slitlike windows, heavily barred, gave it the aspect of a feudal fortress incongruously set down plumb in the midst of twentieth' century New York. The dull roar of Broadway hummed a couple of blocks away; in the distance loomed. Jjhe lofty, graceful spans of Brooklyn bridge, jammed with its o posing streams of busy interurban traffic. The adjacent streets were filled with the din of hurrying crowds, the rattle of vehicles, the cries of vendors, the clang of street cars, the ugh! ugh! of speeding automobiles. The active,, pulsating life of the metropolis surged like a rising flood about the -tall-gray.walls, yet there was no response within. Grim, silent, sinister, the city prison, popularly known as "the Tombs," seemed to have nothing in common with the daily activities of the big town in which, notwithstanding, it unhappily played an important part. The present prison is a vastly different place to the old jail from which It got its melancholy cognomen. To day there is not the slightest justification for the lugubrious epithet applied to it, but in the old days, when man's inhumanity to majr was less a form of speech than a cold, merciless fact, the "Tombs" described an intolerable and disgraceful condition fairly accurately. • Formerly the cells in which the unfortunate prisoners were confined while awaiting trial were situated deep under ground and had neither light nor ventilation. A man might be guiltless of the offense with which he was charged, yet while awaiting an opportunity to prove his innocence he was condemned to spend days, sometimes months, in what was little better than a grave. Literally, h e was buried alive. A party of foreigners visiting the prison one day were startled at seeing human beings confined in such holes. "They look like tombs!" cried some one. New York was amused at the singularly appropriate appellative and it has studc to the.prison ever since. But times change and institutions with them. As man becomes more civilized he treats the lawbreaker with more humanity. Probably society .will always need Us prisoners. but as we become more enlightened we Insist on treating our criminals more from the physiological and psychological . standpoints than in the cruel, brujtal, barbarous manner of the dark ages. In other words the soclologisj iftMaU that the lawbreaker has greater need of the physician than he ' h a s of the jailer. To-day the city prison \Ja Ja tomb In name only.. It Is admirably constructed, commodious, well ventilated. T h e cells are large and well lighted, with comfortable cots and all the modern sanitafy arrangements. There • r e roomy corridors for dally exercise and luxurious shower baths can be obtained free for the asking. There are chapels for the religiously inclined and a library for the studious. The food It wholesome and well prepared la.a large, scrupulously clean kitchen situated on the top floor. Carping crjiks have, indeed, declared the Tombs to be too luxurious, declaring that habitual criminals enjoy a sta/ atrtfee prison and actually commit cHttc to that they may enjoy some of ir#VHeMJM comforts. It was with a sinking heart and a dull, gnawing sense of apprehension that Annie descended from a southbound Madison avenue car in Center street and approached the small portal under the forbidding gray walls. She had visited a prison once before, when her father died. She remembered the depressing ride in the train to Sing Siug, the formidable steel doors and ponderous bolts, the narrow cells, each with its involuntary occupant in degrading stripes and closely cropped hair, and the uniformed guards armed with rifles. She remembered how her mother wept and \ o w she had wondered why they kept her poor da-da in such an ugly place. To think that after all these years she was again to go through a similar experience. She had nerved herself for the ordeal. Anxious as she was to see Howard and learn from his lips all that had happened, she feared that she would never be able to see him behind the bars without breaking down. Yet she must be strong so she could work to set him free. So much had happened in the last two days^ It seemed a month since the polipe had sent for her at midnight to hurry down to the Astruria, yet it was only two days ago. % The morning following her trying interview with Capt. Clinton in the dead man's apartment she had tried to see Howard, but without success. The police held him a close prisoner, pretending that he might make an attempt upon his life. There was nothing for her to do but wait. Intuitively she realized the necessity of immediately securing the sercould not be left alone to perish without a hand to save him. Judge Brewster must come to his rescue. He could not refuse. She would return again to his office this afternoon and sit there all day long, if necessary, until he promised to take the case. He alone could save him. She would go to the lawyer and beg him on her knees if necessary, but first she must see Howard and bid him take courage. A low doorway from Center street gave access to the gray fortress. At the heavy steel gate stood a portly policeman armed with a big key. Each time before letting people in or out he inserted this key in a ponderous lock. The gate would not open merely by turning the handle. ThiB was to prevent the escape of prisoners, who might possibly succeed in reaching so far as the door, but could not open the steel gate without the big key. When once any one entered the prison he was not permitted to go out again except on a signal from a keeper. When Annie entered she found the reception room filled with visitors, m*n and women of all ages and nationalities, who, like herself, had come to see some relative or friend in trouble. It was a motley and interesting crowd. There were fruit peddlers, sweat shop workers, sporty looking men, negroes and flashy looking woq men. All seemed callous and indifr ferent, as if quite at home amid the sinister surroundings of a prlsdn. One or two others appeared to belong to a more respectable class, their sober manner and careworn faces reflecting silently the humiliation and shame "8o You're the Wife of Jeffries, Whom They've Got for Murder, EhV vices of an able lawyer. There was no doubt of Howard's innocence, but she recalled with a shiver that even innocent persona have suffered capital punishment because they were unable to establish their innocence, so overwhelming were the appearances against them. He must have the best lawyer to be had, regardless of expense. Only one name occurred to her, the name of a man of international reputation, the more mention of whose name in a courtroom tilled they felt at their kinsman's disgrace. The small barred windows did not permit of much ventilation and, as the day was warm, the odoT was sickening. Annie looked around fearfully and humbly took her place at the end of the long line which slowly worked its way to the narrow inner grating, where credentials were closely scrutinised. The horror of the place seized upon her. She wondered who all these poor people wore and what the prl-i oners v/liom they came to pep ba«l searched by a matron foe concealed weapons, a humiliating ordeal, to which even the richest and most influential visitors must Bubruit with as good grace as possible. The matron was a hard looking woman of about 50 years, in whom every spark of bu man pity and sympathy had been killed during her many years of constant association with criminals. The word "prison" had lost its meaning to her. She auw nothing undesirable in Jail life, but looked upon the Tombs rather as a kind of boarding house in which people made short or long sojourns, according to their luck. She treated Annie unceremoniously, yet not unkindly. "So you're the wife of Jeffries, whom they've got for murder, eh?" she said, as she rapidly ran her hands through the visitor's clothing. "Yes," faltered Annie, "but it's all a mistake, I assure you. My husband's perfectly innocent. He wouldn't hurt a fly." The woman grinned. "They all say that, m'm." Lugubriously she added: "I hope you'll be more lucky than some others were." Annie felt herself grow cold. Was this a sinister prophecy? She shuddered and, hastily taking a dollar from her purse, slipped it into the matron's hand. "May I go now?" she said. "Yes, my dear; I guess you've got nothing dangerous on you. We have to be very careful. I remember once when we had that Hoboken murderer here. He's the feller that cut his wife's head off and stuffed the body in a barrel. His mother came here to see him one day and what* did I find Inside her stocking but an innocent looking little round pill, and if you please, it was nothing less than pruesic acid. He would have swallowed it -atrd—the—electric—chair—would—have been cheated. So you see how careful we has, to be." , Annie could not listen to any wore.* The horror of having Howard classed with fiends of that description sickened JjjM1., To the keeper she said Quickly:' ff?^Rlease take me to my husband.'' Taking another dollar from her purse, she slipped the bill into the man's hand, feeling that, here as everywhere else, one must pay, for privileges and courtesies. Her guide led the way and ushered her into an elevator, which, at a signal, started slowly upwards. The cells in the Tombs are arranged in rows in the form of an ellipse in the center of each of the six floors, There is room to accommodate 90(] prisoners of both sexes. The men are cOUlihod in the new prison; the wornen, fewer in number, in what remains of the old building. Only the center of eacli floor being taken up with the rows of narrow cells, there remains a broad corridor," running all the way round and flanked on the right by high walls with small barred windows. An observer from the street glancing up at the windows might coj&glude that they were those of the cells in which prisoners were confined. As a matter ol fact, the cells have no windows, only a grating which looks directly out into the circular corridor. At the fourth floor the elevator stopped and the heavy iron door swung back. "This way," said the keeper, stepping out and quickly walking along the corridor. "He's in cell No. 456." A lump rose In Annie's throat. The place was well ventilated, yet she thought she would faint from a choking feeling of restraint, AH along the corridor to the left were iron doors painted yellow. In the upper part of the door, were half a dozen broad slits through which one could see what was going on insid§. "Those are the cells," volunteered her guide. Annie shuddered as, mentally, she pictured Howard locked up in such e dreadful place. She peered through one of the slits and saw a narrow cell about ten feet long by six wide. The only furnishings were a folding cot with blanket, a wash bowl and lavatory. Each cell had its occupant, men and youths of all ages. Some were reading, some playing cards. Some were lying asleep on their" cots, pep haps dreaming of home, but most of them leaning dejectedly against the iron bars wondering when they would regain their liberty. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Madero, provisional president,- allowed his chief general to draw a revolver on him and then spirited away his chief military prisoner to save him from harm at the hands of the insurrecto army.- Events crowded themselves onto one another in Juarez. First the insurrectos insurged against their own leader and demanded the resignation of the- cabinet; then they cried, "Death to Navarro!" so strenuously that Madero slipped him in an automobile out of Juarez and down the river, where he told the military prisoner to get to El Paso as best he could. Navarro Is Wet But Safe. Then followed hours of suspense and waiting. Navarro was reported killed 'in as many different manners -as—tug re—wore—-reports,—but' in—1&^ ^ourse of four hours he turned up NJn a downtown El Paso store, drip- "ptng in wet clothing, but serene and safe. He had abandoned the horse which Madero furnished him when ib-e_,imiamQhilfi ride—out—of—Ju a rex was ended and had waded the turbulent, quicksand-bottomed river neck deep and slipped into El Paso in a cab without being discovered'even by the supposedly alert sentries guarding the international line. He said he was still Madero's prisoner and would return to Juarez on demand. The day ended with Madero, the provisional president, stripped of authority practically and Navarro, his prisoner of war, safely in a foreign coi>ntry; the insurrectos more excited than ever over the act of their chief iu releasing, the man they hate more than all others F R E E ( \ .v. IVPAW- PAW PILLS. TRADE. H A M A trial package of Munyon's Paw P a w Pills will be tent free to anyone on request. Address Professor Munyon, 53d & Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are in need of medical advice, do not fail t o write Professor Munyon. Your communication will be treated in strict confidence, and your case will be diagnosed as carefully as though you had a personal inter* view. Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike all other laxatives or cathartics. They coax the liver into activity by gentle methods. They do not acDur, they do not gripe, they do not weaken, but they do start all the secretions of the liver and stomach in a way that soon puts these organs in a healthy condition and corrects constipation. In my opinion the hearts of the innocent with hope j done to offend the majesty of the law. The prison was filled with policemen and keepers and running in and out with messages and packages were a number of "**&). in neat linen suits. She asked a woman who they were. "Them s trwtlqg — prisoners that has special privileges in return for work they does about the prison." The credentials were passed upon slowly and Annie, being the twentieth in line, found it a tedious wait. In front of her was a bestial looking negro, behind her a woman whose cheap Jewelry, rouged lace and extravagant dress proclaimed ber profession to be the most ancient in the world. But at last the gate was reached. As the doorkeeper examined her ticket he looked up at her with curiosity. A murderer is rare enough even in the Tombs, to excite interest, and as she passed on the attendants , whispered among themselves. She knew they were talking about her, but she steeled herself not to care. It was oxrtjr a foretaste of other huciUlatiqns which she must expect. A keeper now took charge of her and led her to a room whert Aha was and the guiity with dread. That man was Judge Brewster. She hurried downtown to his office and waited an fcour before he could see her. Then he told her, politely but coldly, that he must decline to take her case. He knew well who rifce was and he eyed her with Borne curiosity* but his manner was frigid and discouraging. There were plenty of lawyers in New York, he safd. She must go elsewhere. Politely he bowed" her out. Half of a precions day was already lost. Judge Brewster refused the case. To whom could she tuisKnow? In despair, almost desperate, she drove uptown to Riverside drive and forced an entrance into the Jeffries home. Here, again, she was met with a rebuff. Still not discouraged, she returned to Judge Brewster's office. He was out and she sat there an hour waiting to see him. Night came and ire did not return. Almost prostrated with nervous exhaustion, she returned to their deserted llttie flat in Harlem. It was going to be a hard fight, s h e saw that. But she would keep right on, ao nutter at what cost. Hffwart Plant Breaking Up an Island. Strength is not a thing usually connected with maidenhair fern, yet if Its roots have not sufficient room they break the pot in which the plant grows. Blades of grass will force the curbstones between which they spring up out of their place, and In a single night n *ron *f f»mal» mn«h ! rooms tiave it.i»<»! a inr^t- store in deed, plants tiave been known iu break the hardest rocks. The island of Aldabra, to the northwest of Madagascar, la becoming smaller and smaller through the action of the mangroves that grow along the foot of the cliffs. They eat their way Into the rock in all directions, and into the gaps thus formed the waves force their way. In time they will probably reduce the island to pieces. Dares Them to Shoot Him. Early Saturday (Jen. Orozco called on Provisional President .Madero am. the iwo talked alone for some time. Suddenly their voices were raised and the other rebel political chiefs rushed into the room only to iind themselves held hack by som^ of Orozco'3 men. A throng of soldiers had tfatherod outside the building and Senor Madero determined to appeal to them. Six-shootefH had been drawn and rifles were leveled,-but Senor Madero stood before the crowd and slapping his breast, shouted: "Shoot me! Shoot me, if you dare!" (Ion. Orozco was at. his side. His men ostensibly had been summoned to take part in the..coup d'etat, but as Madero stepped forth among them and talked in his reassuring way the affection which had been ripened among his men since the revolution began crystallized in a mighty shout, "Vive Madero!" Again Became Enraged. Hut when Madero slipped out after promising to give consideration to changing the cabinet and furnishing the food requested, and took Navarro to the river to allow him t o escape, there was blood In the eyes of every insurgent soldier-in the town. It fa claimed that Madero has not asked the cabinet to resign and that he will not, that the protest was merely fomented by Orozco, who was angered at not having heen made secretary of war. The cabinet offered its resignation In a body, but Madero did not accept it. constipation is responsible for most ailments. There are 26 feet of human bowels, which is really a sewer pipe* W h e n this pipe becomes clogged the whole system becomes poisoned, caus- '" ing biliousness, indigestion and impure blood, which often produce rheumatism and kidney ailments, JNO woman w h o suffers with constipation or any liver ailment can expect to have a clear complexion or enjoy good health. If I had my way I would prohibit the s a l e , of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are now being sold for the reason that they soon destroy the lining of the stomach, setting up serious forms of indigestion, and so paralyze the bowels that they refuHc to act unless forced by Btrong purgatives. -* Munyon's Paw P a w Pilla are a tonic to the Ktoniuch, liver and nerves. They invigorate instead of weaken; they enrk- h tlie blood Instead of impoverish TtTThlw enable the K»om/icli to JJcl all the nourishment from food that is put into it. These pills contain no calomel, no dope; ihey are soothing, healing and stimulating. They hchuol the bowels to act without physic. Regular nize bottle, containing 45 pills, 25 cents.

Taft Won't Be Scared, President Taft indulged in some plain talk in explaining to the 25 members of the national grange that he does not intend to play politics with the Canadian reciprocity agreement, even if the enactment of that measure by congress coats him the farmer vote. The president told the visitors bluntly that he was sorry to hear that Republican farmers would desert the party if the agreement goes through, but fear of such desertion would not change his convictions as to the wisdom of such legls- 'atfon.

As nearly all of the larger printing press manufacturers are either located here or maintain offices in the city; the! were over Sunday Duplex shows* by joining the New York colony that it intends to get its share of business originating in this territory. The dptnpany does not have in its employ anyone who is more widely or more favorably known among newspaper publishers tban Colonel Jiarkey who has been connected with it since 1892.

EFFORT TO RECOVER TAXES Attorney for the Railroad States That He Would Naturally Appeal the Case to the Supreme Court. LanBlng.—In overruling the demurrer made last week by the Grand Trunk railroad Judge McDonald held that the state of Michigan has a legal right to bring action against the railroad in an effort to recover back taxes amounting to about $2,000,000. AH of the eight reasons contained In the demurrer, prepared by Harrison G«er of Detroit, chief counsel of the Grand Trunk, were overruled by Judge McDonald. The first reason, the one which is regarded as the most substantial, stated that the suit was not begun legally; that such action should be started by a bill of complaint, instead of information and petition. While the court did rule that the case should have been begun as contended by Mr. Geer, he stated that the label on the case had no effect on the subject matter. Attorney Geer stated that he would naturally appeal the case to the supreme court. Memorial Day Px Governor Osborn issued the customary declaration" and Memorial day proclamation. The proclamation in part: "The custom of observing a day once a year for the purpose of especially paying tribute of memory to those who so bravely gave their lives that the nation might live and be a purer and better home for the oppressed of.all lands, is one of the most commendable of our national life. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. "The legions that lie buried in mother earth, very many of them in un- \ marked graves, will never be forgotten. The sacrifice will be forever an inspiration to higher citizenship upon the part of those who live tnrinv and State Farmers Plan Revenge. The Michigan state fair hat been dragged into the Canadian reciprocity issue by the Wolverine farmers who are in, Washington to fight the measure, and it is said that, should a delegation go from Washing ton to Detroit to tight for reciprocity, the farmers of thee state will retaliate by "avoiding the state fair in Detroit next September. President Snyder of the Michigan Agricultural College declares his, doubt of any very strong pro-reciprocity argument from Detroiters. Detroit needs the farmers, the college president Insists, but the farmer can get along without Detroit, as other cities in Michigan can Bupply the farmer's needs. Other members of the farmer delegation take the same view, and they talk of reprisals against the Michigan metropolis if it takes what the farmers believe is a "Belflsh stand for its own supposed gain against the interests of the rural districts." A Buffalo delegation of 100 is at Washington urging reciprocity and the Michigan grangers are raising the cry that the Bisons came at the brewens' instigation. "It's a move to get free barley from Canada," Is the talk. "The brewers want to get cheaper material." N. P. Hull, master of the Michigan Grange, declares he has no knowledge of such a move in Detroit, but the point Is made that Canadian reciprocity will put cereals In the free list. With the liquor interests versus the "drys" drawn into the reciprocity fight the conteBt is admitted here to take on new angles. On the other side of the argument Senator Stone sprung a sensation while the Michigan farmers were before the senate committee, by asking that a subpoena be issued compelling the appearance of the law firm of Alten n&~ <Jraham, of- New "York, and directing it to produce all the anti-reciprocity literature it has printed or written. Mr. Hull declared the firm was employed by the grangers, and a stormy argument ensued. Stone remarked that if nothing was the matter there ought to be no objection to the lawyers coming and Hull said he not only had no objection, but would* have the lawyers come without a subpoena. 1 STATE NEWS IN BRIEF tomorrow, in order that we may so guide the state that it will be-worthy of the hallowed dead who died for i t "Then let us gather throughout all Michigan and strew flowers on land and water In honor of the heroes of the army and navy who are gone, but not forgotten, and let us consecrate ourselves anew to the service of God and our country."

I had a friend pay me a visit from Cumberland, and she advised me to use Cutlcura Remedies which I did. The cure was certainly quick, and I use them to this day. I had it terribly under my knees. I only used one box of pills, but two boxes of Cutlcura Ointment, and I use the Cutlcura Soap all the time. I hope this will benefit others, as it has me, after Dr. and others could do nothing for me." (Signed^Miss Lu Johnson, 1523 Ninth St^,' <N. W., Washington, JD. C, April 3, 1910. " I n a later letter Miss Johnson adds: "The trouble began with an eruption under my knees, and extended upwards toward my waist, until I was / ' not able to sit down. It kept a constant itching and burning all the time, night and day. I went to my doctor, but he could do me no good after I do not know how many medicines he gave me, and then told me I would be compelled to go to a skin specialist, which I positively refused to do. I cried all the time. Finally I made up my mind to try Cutlcura Remedies, and tried Cutlcura Pills, Ointment and Soap, and wat entirely cured of the itching three days after" I started using them. The healing took about eight days. I consider Cutlcura Remedies marvelous, and would recommend them everywhere." ' CuticuraTteTneeUes are sold throughout the world. Send to Potter Drug & Chem.

Two women prominent In St. Louis have started a movement to induce 300,000 of their sex -in the south to pray every day for the rich.

Belle H. Bennett, president of the woman's missionary council of the Methodist Episcopal church south, and Mrs. R, W. McDonnell are the originators of the plan. At All Hours.

"Where are the women?" asked Annie, trying to keep down the lump that rose chokingly in her throat. "They're in a separate part of theprison," replied the keeper. "Isn't jf, drnndfnl'?" s-he_ murmured. "Not at all," he exclaimed cheerfully. "These prisoners fare better in prison than they do outside. I wager some of them are sorry to leave." "But it's dreadful to be cooped up in those little cells, isn't it?" she said. "Not so bad as it looks," he laughed. "They are allowed to come out in the corridor to exercise twice a day for an hour and there is a splendid shower bath they can take." •"Where is my husband's cell?" she whispered, almost dreading to hear the reply. "There it is," he said, pointing to a door. "No. 456." Walking rapidly ahead of her and stopping at one of the cell doors, Jie rappedloudly on the iron grating'and cried > "Jeffries, here's a lady come to see you, Wake up there!" A white, drawn face approached the grating, Annie sprang forward. "Howard!" she sobbed. "Is it you, Annie?" came a weak voice through the bars. "Can't I -go_ in to him?" she asked pleadingly. The keeper shook his head. "No, m'm, you must talk through the bars, but I won't disturb you." He walked away and the husband and wife were left facing each other. The tears were streaming down Annie's cheeks. It was dreadful to be standing there so close and yet not be able to throw her arms around him. Her heart ached as she saw the distress in his wan, pale face. "Why didn't you come before?" he asked. "I could not. They wouldn't let me. Oh, Howard," she gasped. "What a dreadful thing this is! Tell me how you got into such a scrape!" He put his hand to his head as if it hurt him, and she noticed that his eyes looked queer. For a moment the agony of a terrible suspicion crossed her mind. Was it possible that in a moment of drunken recklessness he had shot Underwood? Quickly, almost breathlessly, she whispered to him: "Tell me quickly, 'tis not true, is it? You did not kill Robert Underwood." He shook his bond. "No," he said. "Thank God tor that!" she exclaimed. "But your confession—what does that mean?" "I do not know. They told me I did I t They insisted I did it. He was sure I did it. He told me he knew I did it. He showed me the pistol. He was so Insistent that I thought he was right—that I had done it." In a deep whisper he added earnestly: "But you know I didn't, don't yon?" "Who is h e ? " demanded Annie. "The police captain." "Oh, Capt Clinton told you you did i t ? " Howard nodded.' "Yes, he told me he knew I did it. He kept me standing there six hours, questioning a n d questioning until I was ready to drop. I tried to sit down; he made m e s t a n d ' u p . 1 did not know what I was saying or doing.

Her tears were dried. Her brain was beginning to work rapidly. She already saw a possible line of defense. "I don't know how it all happened," went on Howard. "I don't know any more about it than you do. I left you to go to Underwood's apartment. On the way I foolishly took a drink. When I got there I took more whisky. Before I knew it I was drunk. While talking I fell asleep. Suddenly I heard a woman's voice." "Ah!" interrupted Annie. "You, too, heard a woman's voice. Capt. Clinton said there was a woman in it." Tiroxrghtftrrry, as if to h e rs e If, she added: "We must And that woman." "When I woke up,'/ continued Howard, "it was dark. Groping around for the electric light, I stumbled over something. It was Underwood's dead body. How he(._cjkme by- his death' I have not the slightest idea. I at once realized the dangerous position I was in and I tried to leave the apartment unobserved. Just as I was going, Underwood's man servant arrived and he handed me over to the police. That's the whole story. I've been here since yesterday and I'll be devil* iah glad to get out." "You will get out," she cried. "I'm doing everything possible to get you free. I've been trying to get the best lawyer in the country—Richard Brewster." "Richard Brewster!" exclaimed Howard. "He's my father's lawyer." "I saw your father yesterday afternoon," she said quietly. "You did!" he exclaimed, surprised. "Was he willing to receive you?" "He had to," she replied. "I gave him a piece of my mind." Howard looked at her in mingled amazement and admiration. That she should have dared to confront a m a n ! as proud and obstinate as his father astounded him. 'What did he say?" he asked eagerly. "I asked him to come publicly to your support and to give you legal assistance. He refused, 3aying he could not be placed in a position of condoning such a crime and that your behavior and your marriago had made him wash his hands of you forever." Tears filled Howard's eyes and his mouth quivered. "Then my father believes me guilty of this horrible crime?" he exclaimed. "He insisted that you must be guilty, as you had confessed. He offered, j though, to give you legal assistance, but only on one condition." I "What was that condition?" he de-j s a n d e d . A "That I consent to a divorce," replied Annie quietly. "What did you say?" i "I said I'd consent to anything if it would help you, but when he told me tftat even then he would not come personally to your support I told him we would worry along without his assistance. On that I left him." "You're a brave little woman!" cried Howard. Noticing h e r pale, anxious face, he said: i " Y o u , too> must have •altered." j . "£k» never mind me," »tje rejoined > ejejtafllr. "What we mutt do now la to; f*»MJout of this horrid place and i tf|»|lt name before the world. Wei from you involuntarily, We must And that mysterious woman who came to Underwood's rooms while you lay on the couch asleep. Do you know what my theory is, Howard?" "What?" demanded her husband. "I believe you were hypnotized into making that confession. I've read of such things before. You know tiae* boys in college often hypnotized you. You- told me they made you do all kinds of things against your will. That big brute, Capt. Clinton, simply forced his will on yours." "By Jove—I never thought of that!" he exclaimed. "I know my head ached terribly after he got through alt that questioning. When he-made- melook at that pistol I couldn't resist any more. But how are we going to break through the net which the police have thrown around me?" "By getting the best lawyer we can procure. I shall insist on Judge Brewster taking the case. He declines, but I shall go to his office again this afternoon. He must—" Howard shook his head. "You'll not be able to get Brewster. He would never dare offend my father by taking up my case without his permission. He won't even see you." "We'll see," she said quietly. "He'll see me if I have to sit in his office all day for weeks. I have decided to have Judge Brewster defend you because I believe it would mean acquittal. He will build up a defense that wUl defeat all the lies that the police have concocted. The police have a strong case because of your alleged confession. It will take a strong lawyer to fight them." Earnestly she added: "Howard, If your life is to be saved we must get Judge Brewster." "All right, dear," he replied. "1 can only leave it in your hands. I know that whatever you do will be for the beat. I'll try to be as patient as I can. My only comfort is thinking of you, dear." A heavy step resounded in the corridor. The keeper came up. "Time's up, m'm," he said civilly. Annie thrust her hand through the bars; Howard carried it reverently to his lips. j "Good-by, dear," she said. "Keep up your courage. . You'll know that I am working for your release every moment. I won't leave a stone unturned." "Good-by, darling," he murmured. He looked at her longingly and there were tears in her eyes as she turned away. "I'll be back very soon," she said. A few minutes later they were in the elevator and she passed through the big steel gate once more into the sunlight street. CHAPTER X I V . Outwardly, at least, Judge Brewster's offices at 83 Broadway in no way differed from the offices of ten thousand other lawyers who strive to eke out a difficult living in the most overcrowded of all the professions. They consisted of a modest suite of rooms On the sixth floor. There was a small outer office with a ralled-off inclosure. behind which sat a half dozen stenographers busy copying. >gal documents: aa many men clerks) were writing at desks, tad the walls [ as he thouglit uf tin1 auUimublli' I'UIl1 in the park he would enjoy before dressing and going'to his club for dinner, lie iYlt in singularly good spirits that afternoon', He had just won in the court a very complicated case which meant not only a handsome addition to -his bank account, out a signal triumph over his legal oppon e n t s (Vrtainiy, fortune smiled on him. ' He had no other immediate cases on hand to worry about. He could look forward to a few weeks of absolute rest. He struck a bell on his desk and a clerk entered. Handing him the note he had just written, he said: "Have this sent at once by messenger," - - — "Very well, judge," answered the clerk. "By the by," frowned the lawyer, "has that wortT&n been in to-day?" "Yes—she sat in the outer office all morning, trying to see you. We said you were out of town, but she did not believe It. She sat there till she got tired. She had no idea that you went out by another stairway." "Humph," growled the lawyer; "a nice thing to be besieged in this manner. If she annoys me much longer, I shall send for the police." At that moment another clerk entered the room. "What Is it, Mr. Jones?" demanded the lawyer. "A lady to see you, judge," said the clerk, handing him a card. The lawyer glanced at the bit of pasteboard, and said immediately: "Oh, yes, show her in." The two clerks left the room and Judge Brewster, after a glance In the mirror to re-adjust his cravat, turned to greet his visitor. The door opened and Alicia entered. She was faultlessly gowned, as usual, but her manner was flurried and agitated. Evidently something had happened to upset her, and she had come to make her husband's lawyer the confidant of her troubles. The Judge advanced gallantly and pointed to a chair. "Good morning, my dear Mrs. Jeffries; how do you do?" "Is Mr. Jeffries here?" asked A!1c!.-„ hurriedly. "Not yet," he replied, snVVnr?. "This is an unexpected pleasure. I think it is the first time you have graced my office with your presence." "How quiet it is here!" she exclaimed, looking around nervously. "It is hard to believe this Is the very center of the city." Taking the seat offered to her, she went on: "Oh, judge, we a r e dreadfully worried." (TO BE CONTINUED.) were fitted with shelves filled with ponderous law books. In one corner was a room with glass door marked "Mr. Brewster, Private." Assuredly no casual visitor could guess from the appearance of the place that this was the headquarters of one of the most brilliant legal minds in the country, yet in this very office had been prepared some of the most sensational victories ever recorded in the law courts. Visitors to Judge Brewster's office were not many. A man of such renown was naturally expensive. Few could afford to retain his services, and in fact he was seldom called upon except to act in the interest of wealthy corporations. In these cases, of course, his fees were enormous. He had very few private clients; in fact, he declined much private practice that was offered to him. He had been the legal adviser of Howard Jeffries, Sr., for many years. The two men had known each other in their younger days and practically had won success together—the one in the banking business, the other in the service of the law. An important trust company, of which Mr. Jeffries was president, was constantly involved in all kinds of litigation o: which Judge Brewster had exclusive charge. As the lawyer found this highly remunerative, it was only natural that he had no desire to lose Mr. Jeffries as a client. Secluded in his private office, the judge was busy at his desk, finishing a letter. He folded it up, addressed an envelope, then lit a cigar and looked at the time. It was three o'clock, The day's work was about over and he smiled with satisfaction Could Do Better. The lecture was on the economics of nature and showed that her great destructive poweers were used only to transform the elements into other channels. "To illustrate," said the professor, "there U in one of the Pacific Islands a volcano which has for IS years been pouring molten l*va>oto the ocean over a precipice 400 feet high and eleven miles long. Eggs are boiled In the open sea 22 miles away."

Whether the promise of President Diaz, and Vice President Corral to resign before June 1 came in time to restore peace throughout the country is the most important question under consideration in Mexico. Many of the closest students of Mexican affairs doubt it. Madero and his followers and probably the iusurrectos in the north are' willing to lay down their arms as they have gained by the surrender of the government everything they have been fighting for. But the enlire south is aflame. The states of duerrero,„ Morelos, Chiapas and most of the south are hot heds of revolution. Thousand^ of insurrectos are under arms. These men hate and distrust Madero. They have their own grievance growing out of the oppression of the state governors anil whether they will be willing to subscribe to the peace terms offered by the Dia/. government is a grave question. There is a general feeling in the capital that while peace in the north will be restored within a month it may be necessary for the government to adopt stern measures in the south. The people of the capital are generally apathetic over the situation. For weeks it has been considered that Diaz, would have 'to go, and the passage of the veteran who has done so much for the republic, is not regretted. It is felt that, he has stayed too long and the bitterness over his despotic rule overweighs al? feelings of gratitude.

By ROY NORTON Copyright by I'. L. Nelaon Q.DS, he was called, not be- N cause he was particularly sleepy, but rather as an abbreviation for the only name which he had ever known, his Indian appellation of Nodsawana. Maybe he got the name without christening. When the Nez Perces got H H white boy, they didn't go much on formality. When Sandy Smith first ua^r him, he was about three years old an* was In trouble. He was about as dltyy as any member of the tribe wf^cb. harbored him, and save for occasional light spots, where his skin accidentally broke through the crust, and/save for his top shock of straweolored hair, it would have been rather difficult to recognize him as white. He was standing outside a teepee at a safe distance -where things couldn't be thrown at him—gritting bis teeth, sobbing and kneading hlB eyes with two very dirty, very pudgy fists. Sandy had been on a kind of vacation,* the kind that suited him best. By •tiling some timberland in the Olympics and reinvesting in a mining claim, he stood in a pretty fair way to g4t rich. That is, almost everybody In the district thought so. So he'd been making a little trip over into Idaho. But that hasn't much to do with Nods. Coming back to him—Sandy happened to ride through this camp just at the time when Nods was feeling pretty bad. If the angel Trouble had a job on hand, he must have felt like pulling a gun when Sandy Smith came around; because that was Sandy's weak point. Couldn't bear to see anybody, let alone ta child, In sorrow. ; Seeing Nnds crying, out In front of the, teepee, Sandy pulled up his horse, ewung over into the side of his saddle, and took a look at such an amazing thing as a little white boy in an Indian village a hundred or so miles from anywhere; and, naturally, Nods reclnrocated the attention. The pudgy fists came away about a foot from the tear-stained face and then •topped. The eyes, which looked just like gentian flowers, opened wide, and Mods sired Sandy up for all he was worth. Then, either because he hadn't forgotten white folks or because there was something about Sandy that went to his baby heart, he twitted his faco into a smile that was like a bin burst of sunshine over a rain-swep* meadow. Now all this time Sandy bud been watching him with kind of a paralyzed look. When Nods gave him that smile, be couldn't help giving it back.-Sandy's face, wijh its long, straggling mustache, was one of the set, steady kind that seldom changed; but if any one ever saw him laugh, it was sure to be a surprise. It was so unexpected, and jnade you think there were things in Sandy that you never knew before. Nods saw this, and without delay trudged up alongside the pony and held up both hands. WTanted to be taken up and away from that village; to go to some place with some one who had a kind word instead o£ a kick for him. Sandy fairly fell off his horBe, dropped down on hie knees, and put his big, long arms around Nods, and that's how It began. How Sandy and Nods became acquainted. Nods gave a sigh big enough for a full-grown man, and, soon as he could get room, put his two little arms around Sandy's neck, smuggled his face right up against Sandy's, and held it there. And from that on Sandy could have died for him, It wasn't anything he was uBed to. He had, In his time, loved and been loved by lots of things, but not by a small chap like this Bo Sandy was crying and laughing, when he felt something looking at him, turned round, and saw three or four blanketed bucks. But in all the crowd there wasn't anything white. They didn't look as though they liked Sandy muoh. A powwow brought out the fact that this youngster had been left with an old squaw by a man who claimed to be his daddy. Said be was coming back In a week, but a year had slid off Into the nowhere. The squaw was too eld to do much camp work; but she wasn't too old to think a heap of Nodsawana. And probably about all the kindness the little shaver ever knew In all that year had been from her. The old woman, being not much use, had to subsist off the camp pickings, so there may have been times when both she and Nods went pretty hungry, it was easier for her to stand . abuse, though, than It was far Nods. She was more used to it, having lived teager. M I , The minute Sandy showed signs of wanting Nods, the chief valued him highly. It took a day and a night's trading to get hito, hut Sandy won out. _ kwhnt tbe kind of a fallow that nevtr sjnita. One* or twice he decided bed /*a*J« ttfe difficulty by going to war with tie. whole Nei Percea nation, grab- * M M Nods and riding off, trusting to God and his Winchester to pull him through. . As he V I I getting ready to go and No4ffWaa waiting, Sandy heard a IrinJkJlaV saoaniilg noise.in the tepee feds Mvad, •» W©k a look ins »*^K—MftBkf* over fro wKh front of was Nod's foster-mother. All the time that the trading was going on, no one had paid any attention to her. She didn't count Nods bossed this job, too. He acted as If he had forgotten something besides the bow and arrows, and about three yards of string, which he had already brought out in the way of baggage. He crawled between Sandy's legs, where the latter stood In the dowr of the tepee, put his arms around the old woman's neck, and she made one quick grab and held him close to her breast. Some folks have an Idea squaws aren't like other women when you get clear down below their outer skin. Well, they are. Sandy was up against it again, because he understood how she felt. Then he argued with himself In this fashion: "Although I do know how to care for mules and dogs, I ain't much up on kids. Onc't when I made a shift out of buckskin for a kid, it took me six months. This old dame would be mighty handy. 80 she's In the play. She's goin' to be Nod's little nursery maid, because he likes her; even if she is a hundred and fifty years old." The chief didn't care. It meant one mouth less to feed, and saved somebody from knocking her on the head And she. poor wretch, divided between affection for her tribe, distrust of the white man. and love for Nods, finally gave in to the latter, and went along. Well. In the course of time, they all landed in Canada gulch, and set tied down into the happiest little party you ever saw. Before they came, the only partner Sandy had was a three-legged dog. Before they came, an eight-by-ten shack had been big enough. Now all this was changed. Sandy had the finest cabin on the gulch. The biggest in all the district. Had three rooms and a bip porch, and some store furniture Quit using tin plates and tin cups and tin spoons. Swore off on tin. and got so that real china, a haTMmli thlik, the: To take hina away from me—to take N o d a r The man dJdat really know Sandy, you see, or he wouldn't have broken it so confidently. Most men would have sooner gone against a Kansas cyclone, or a neat of rattlers, or a band of Apaches, than to stir up Sandy Smith. But this feilbw~didn't know him, and, to tell the truth, for once Bandy was taken off his feet. Nobody knows what would have happened next, but just then, around the corner or the cabin, with the dog and Pete following, came Nods, talking to Rebecky. The stranger turned, took a look at the squaw, knew her, and triumphantly waved his hand at her. "I can prove it," he said. "Sbe knows It. I left him with her three years ago- over in Idaho. She'll tell you so. She has to tell you It's the truth." Sandy turned and looked at R»;- becky, and she looked at this stranger. But her face never changed a muscle. They all looked at her quite a while; then Sandy woke up For the first time he was rough with her, He made three quick steps, leaned over and grabbed her so tightly by the arm that she winced, in spite of her Indian blood, and said: "Rebecky, for God's sake, tell me! Did ye ever see this man before?" Everything was quiet for what seemed another long time. The man grinned at her, as if pleased over all the trouble he was making, and she looked him straight in the eyes, and, as she looked, her eyes changed. Instead of having a quiet, contented look, like happy old folk have, they grew narrow and black and sharp and young. Then she turned to Sandy: "Heap He. Never saw this white man before." Without waiting to say real, fine kind they use in restaurants in big cities, wasn't any too good Nods brought an addition into the family, not being satisfied with loaf ing around with the dog and Rebecky. It was a shaggy little burro He called it Pete, although Sandy thought Jane would be more appro priHte. because it. wasn't a "Pete" kind of burro. Sandy, wanting to give Nods an "eddication," used to come In at nigbt and laboriously teach him his A B C's, until the little yellow head would get the droops, and the eyes would lose their velvety brightness. Then any one passing the cabin would see the glow of a pipe, and, if he took the trouble to walk up the path between the swe€t-smelling flowers, he would find a big, lank man sitting on a bench in the darkness of his porch, looking far out over the hills and the lights of other cabins, and either telling stories or holding tight a tired little boy who had gone asleep —very fast asleep. 'Most always at their feet was curled a three-legged, dog, ready to fight for them both if harm offered. If you looked farther, where the lamp shone through the cabin door, you would probably see a bent old Bquaw, squatted on the floor, making something out of beads. When one rs happier than ever before in all his life, and has everything he wants, and all the love he has starved for through all the years, the heelB of Time's moccasins are greased. Then Time is young and travels fast. The fellow who first pictured him as a slow, dragging old man, with a gait like a turtle, and toting a scythe, must have known him only in trouble. That's when he goes slow. Two years, which didn't Reerr more than an hour long, had passed over before Time went slow in Canada gulch, then stopped and made each day a month, each week an age and a lifetime a pack too heavy for the shoulders. Sandy had a piece of pipe to mend, and came up to the cabin, on the point of the hill, when he heard steps. He turned round inquiringly to see a man as big as himself. And he wasn't the sort of man you like. One of those bull-necked, thick-lipped. coarse-looking fellows, who leers Instead of smiles, and brags when he talks. "I've come to get my boy—the one you call Nods," he said. The wrench dropped from Sandy's clay-covered hands. A minute before the birds had sung, the flowers bloomed, and the sun shone. Now the birds were volceleee, the posies without color, and the sun had slipped from eight. It was very still, and all the world was unreal and full of bloom. A blow in Sandy's face would have brought instant response, but this stranger, in a dosen words, had fait full in the heart, to that it almost stopped beating, and. for the first time In all his life, Bandy trembled and was afraid, and couldn't strike back. He looked at the stranger, at the cabin, and then up Into the sky. It didnt seem that God could bo no unkind? This wan something he had newer thought of. He swallowed several ho could g«t speech, then wax. "TOST boyT t An^ywo'^oDsjMlbr >*r bj»r pi* M a ! oc 111 pat it In y*a clear up to the blli" , The stranger ran away, but la this last move Sandy had practically admitted ; MB ;swn defeat. Had practically admftted that he knew the man was within his rights. Otherwise, why Jtehecky's denial, and then her attempt to decide the question at the point of the knife? That was convincing. He turned into the cabin, an old, old man; dropped on his koees over Nods, who was looking at a picturebook, gathered him into his arms..and sobbed in the way a fellow of that kind does when he goes all to pieces —the big, dry, shaky kind, where the heart jumps and jerks, and tries to hammer its way out pt the body. The next day the Bheriff came— alone. He knew Sandy and loved him, and dreaded the trip. He knew that to bring a posBe Would mean a fight in which many men would die. He knew that old Sandy Smith, unless influenced by reason alone, would unflinchingly fight a regiment of officers to hold the thing he loved. But Sandy and the sheriff were friends, so it didn't come to that. "Sandy, old friend," he said, when Sandy bad shut down }he hydraulics roaring mouth. "Sandy, God knows I hate this trip. J'd^ rather not be Eherlff than to have tcXtell you. But you've got to give the boy to his father. The man's g o / the proof and tbe order of court fof his child. You might kill me, or a dozen other better men who come after, but you can't kill the law. You know that! It's the one thing that follows a man in open fight, and is unwhlppable." So it was that the big tamaracks moaned that night, and the flowers around the cabin drooped, while in company with them an old squaw feared. Rebecky understood, and she, too, feared. Perhaps it waan't fear •he felt, but rather the old call of the Indian blood. But, anyway, on tbe morning when Sandy dragged down tbe dusty Winchester from the wall, oiled it up, and filled the chambers, she showed sense. He was just starting from the door with it in the crook of his arm, his eyes fixed toward tbe other gulch, when she stopped him. and said In Indian, which they sometimes used when talking together: "Not that way, brother. ^Jt would do the boy no good, nor bring him back to you and me. Peacepipes and the Great Spirit can make smooth rough trail." He didn't resist when she took the rifle from his hands, and stood quietly thinking, as cartridge after cartridge was ejected by her hand, to rattle, unheeded, on the cabin floor. Sandy finally went down across the gulch and up to the brow of the opposite bill, where he could look on that other cabin. He was hungry for a sight of his boy. On the door-Btep, dirty, unkempt, and dejected, sat little Nods, while at his feet, cowering in fear of something, sat a three* legged dog, which had already found the way across tbe bills. Nod's father didn't seem to like the dog's presence. He was puttering around at something, when Sandy, sprawled on top of the ridge and peering over, first saw him, then he came over to Nods, shook hjm, and when the dog bristled, gave him a kick. The dog wanted to fight, but the mac beat him off to a safe dls tance, while Nods apparently cried Nod's father then slapped him. And the man came pretty near go ing out of the game about that mln ute. On top of the ridge, a long, red haired fellow had shut his teeth. times "PUT THE KNIFE INTO HER, WHY DONT YOU?" more, she stooped over Nods, who had stood curiously looking at all of them, fiercely gathered him into her arms, and trudged through the cabin door. "You see, you're mistaken, stranger," Sandy drawled gently, with a big sigh of relief. "She don't know you. You cain't have the boy." The stranger began to argue, in a peaceable sort of way, and he and 8andy sat down on a log. Then Sandy heard something "slip-slipping" over the grass behind him, and turned round In time to see Rebecky with a hunting knife, about ready to end the stranger's claim on Nods, or anything else in the world. She was all Indian again, and was there to kill. Sandy grabbed her, and, although she was withered, old, bent, and small, and he a giant In strength, tt was about all he could do to bold her off. She fought like a wildcat trying to get at this intruder. Sandy got the knife away from her and turnod to tbe&oen. Tbe fellow sneered, and said: "Put the knife Into her, why don't you? She's notbin' but a lyln' old squaw." That started Bandy to boiling, and h t moved toward bin with that kind of a stealthy, deadly way that pan there have when slipping up on something. Tbe fellow taw be had too far, and bssjaa to back off. t j m m m m t m "N • * * • rz 'Y smtmn, i //> V moaned upon the floor, and a bent, wearied, heart-stricken old man sat on tbe door-step with his fingers clutched through his hair—robbed— desolated and alone. And away over across a ridge, in a dirty little shack, on a worthless claim purchased for a song, a big, coarse mac. brutally cuffed a tired little boy for sobbtng and gloated over a triumph. Nods had gone from Sandy's life. Of course, Sandy and Rebecky knew, within a day or so, where Nods had been taken. There was just one ridge—a low divide—between Canada gulch and Poor Man's gulch, where Nod's father had taken his claim. But it was several days before either Sandy or Rebecky tried to see the boy. In tbe meantime, Sandy didn't work. He was kinder to Rebecky than usual, because he knew bow the old woman suffered. He thought more of her for It, because It was per feetly natural that be should love anything which had loved Nods. He wandered aimlessly around tbe cabin, or out among the flowers, whore Node had dug bolee. He gulped when be picked op tbe little A B C hooka. and whan he was alone, out under tbe big, sympathising trees, bad long talks wttb the Lord, begging him to •bow tbe way no tbe little fatt might patter Into the cabin agate. tkyngwa top»,» n^w turn, - . - - - . *»__. •-«-__ ^m^ WW' square, He seems to ran thing* prat? ty well, after all. Keeps us from' doing a he*s,of thing* we shouldn't do. Now, about this time the Lord noticed that Sandy was going to makea mighty big mistake, so took a head. "Daddy Sands," a little voice aeM, 'why don't you take me in yowx arms? 'I do so want your arms!" Sandy, naturally, couldn't kill a m i s and bold Nods at the same time, and when ho grabbed un the hoy, th« pulled a heavy Colt's from his pocket. and was taking very careful aim Things he drew a bead on didn't live long, as a rule. Then he decided the distance WQB too far. Decided something else, also; and that, was that he would go down and kill this brute if it cost him his own life, his hope i of the hereafter, and Nods. Thai boy should never be cuffed again. He world sec to that, he muttered, as be crashed down Into the clearing Tbe man started to say something, but got a good square look Into Sandy's flaming eyes, and decided this wasn't his hour to talk Nods looked up, and with cries of "Daddy Sands? Dear Daddy Sands! 1 knew you'd come. I knew you would find me," rushed frantically over and clasped his arms tightly around Sandy's legs. For once he wae not taken into arms. Tor once there was no reply. Sandy had an errand to perform. Ha wasn't the quiet Sandy of the last two years, but the old Sandy of the Oeronlmo and other border days. He had a mission. And Nod's father read It and. grew white, and lost his defiant grin Tbore in front of him stood Death Just waiting a few minutes to do Its work And It would be done—tbe glint of the white-hot steel shone ID the eyea, and told him to. Tbe Lord mayn't always work tahaga eot the way we like. " U****': Lord, having interrupted at the rich* minute, kind of took him out of Up madness, and led him into Tbe red things quit floating in front of his eyee. Uto brain, S*> weary and so tired for all the) sjsjsjp> less nights since Node had gone, grew clear again, and be saw what a big mistake be was about to make. Sandy finally put Nods down on the ground. When he did so, be saw three black-and-blue welts on the bare skin, where the unbuttoned blouse was open. Well - b e would have a little satisfaction for that, anyway. He made one quick Jump to where the man stood, bis arm shot out with terrific force, and Nod's father fairly flew up into the air. Before he could realize what had happened, Sandy was on him, one hand on his throat and the other battering his face. "I came here to kill you," he rasped between his teeth. "You've been beating Nods. Take this as a promise that I'm coming here now every day, and if ever I find another mark on him, by God, I'll tear your heart out of your body, as sure as my name's Smith!" It seemed there wouldn't be any necessity for a return trip, the way Sandy's arm was working. His blood was boiling again, and the desire to kill so strong that, unless the Lord had Interfered again, It would have ended differently. It must have been, (he Lord who put It Into Nods' father's mouth to say: "Let me go! Let me go! If you want the kid so bad, why don't you buy him?" Sandy's fingers released their hold. liny Nods? Buy Nods? He had never thought of that before. It seemed BO incomprehensible that anybody would offer to sell anything as dear as Nods; that of all the ways he had contemplated in these last weary days, this had been the one way overlooked. Slowly he climbed to his feet, and Nods' father, shrinking and battered, and eow/ed, but hopeful for his craven, worthless life, also arose. Cupidity' was in'the man's every look. He was* reaching the very end for which he came, and for which- alone—he had claimed the boy. This was bla •hance. "Give me your claim," he said, "and I'll deed you all my right, now and forever—to him." \ "It's done!" said Hand? without'a moment's hesitation. His claim, taw. richest in all this land, the thing that could prodiice the gold which would buy a king's ransom, could go HK a ransom for this boy. Gold?, What wan gold? Nothing! As paltry metal, which, though all of it in the world were within his reach rouldn't pay for one clasp of those little arms that again hugged him around his feet, and wore soon after t,rau>f,erred to his sun-tanned throat, They went into the cabin, where Sandy, on a Bheet of paper, wrote: "Know all men, by these here documents that one William Martin does hereby sell to one Smith, known to most folks as Sandy Smith, one white boy named NodRawana. And this here thing calling himself a man— aforesaid, and wfiereas known as Martin takes as full pay number four claim on Canada gulch, and it's agreed by one of the aforesaid named Sandy—that he will kill this man Martin If he ever speaks to or claims this aforesaid boy Nodsawanna again. So help me God. "P. S — This Is also a quitclaim deed to the aforesaid boy. and Just the* same as a bill of sale for a pony or anything else a lawyer might write transferring the boy to 8andy Smith." They signed It. in several places, Sandy wanting to make dead sura, md Martin, who was mighty pleased at the deal, being perfectly willing. There had been a time when a pay* ing claim, a big cabin, a heap of fur* niture, and a field of flowers, would have peemed Just about all in life that Sandy wanted. But the boys 011 the gulch know, and will fell you that all these things were passed up like a pawn and without thought, when '<n the following day Sandy and his 'smily rode away. They got up to that point you can pee on the very brow of the hill, where the trail dips off toward the> sunrise, the morning after. In tho lead was Sandy Smith, holding Node on the pommel of his saddle. Neat came two pack-ponies with an outfit. another pony with old Rfbrcky, and then Pete, on whose back was packed a big basket, tn which a thrse legged dog could ride. Right up on that point they stopped and looked back, moat of ttd hope and believe without regret on the cabin, and the claim, and tbe flowers.

J<&! , ' • / # , T is difficult to imagine America's annual Memorial day without flowers. Indeed, Decoration day, the other name by which this spring commemorative festival is ao. often designated, carries an intimation of how dependent this day of sad memories is upon the bright-eyed blossoms that serve as the most appropriate of all tokens of remembrance. To be sure, flags are also made use of extensively on Memorial day—not only in the ornamentation of dwellings and places of business, but in marking the graves of fallen heroes whom it is desired to honor on this occasion. After all, however, it is flowers which are most extensively relied upon to express the sentiment of the occasion. And in-the broad term "flowers" are included the' flowering plants, the Ivy and other of nature's products that are employed to form the wrea-th*_which are so popular on Memorial day. All told there are infinitely more flowers used on Memorial day than are employed at Easter and yet the general public does not hear so much of the Memorial day "flower trade," nor have its magnitude so conspicuously brought home. The explanation is found, of course, in the circumstance that the Easter flower trade is almost wholly in the hands of the professional florists t i \ m '™%Wn Atsro Memorial day, always Heretofore a serious problem to the public-spirited citizens who have charge of th's work and who could only piead with the people of the community to get their donations oi flowers to the town hall early, hut usually found that their most emphatic appeals were insufficient to get the posies to the rendezvous in time to permit of their proper arrangement in time for the starting of the parade at the scheduled hour. The bringing of flowers to the larger cities on Memorial day has been further simplified by the fact that in many localities special flower trains are operated by the steam railroads and the interurban trol- V' Z^\ Z*T Ifr?• £<* *** -H«»> «y> v .*.* .«<" hi& \ ' * * r&jtffc, ? 4& U **M * * tfitf*#** a m $rt «fi? •<.'/ * / ' i l§fc*^ V MP*3 % & * $ : & '•:W• X\..'W. >i */^&,>\: to whose ^Hjtere'st it is to make their activities occujay as large a place as possible in the public eye. At MemoHal day, on the other hand, the regular flower marts, although they have a "rush_ season" In consequence of the holiday, supply but a fraction of the flowers that are placed on the graves of the nation's warriors. The vast preponderance of the flowers that are used to express the love and gratitude of the people of the republic on the yearly-recurring Memorial day are home-grown posies whose cultivation with a view to such ultimate use is as much a labor of love as is the Btrewing of the "blossoms on the graves. Or, at least the flowers are for the most part garden blooms rather than the frail products of the hot houses. Indeed the selection of May 30 as Memorial day In a large proportion of tbe states of the union was made primarily because it was an occasion when spring was presumed to be In her most attractive garb and when the spring floral harvest is at its height. Similarly- the southern Btates, being assured an abundance of flowers at yet earlier dates, have, as much for this reason as for any other, chosen as Memorial day dates that seemed to mark the culmination of the floral flood in their respective states rather than strict conformity with the date at the end of May, which is «6 universally observed In the "eastern, northern and western states and in the infers northerly of the commonwealths of Dixie. This will explain why certain of the states, notably those of the Gulf of Mexico, observe Memorial day days or weeks in advance of the remainder ot the sisterhood of states. The :KIP of flowers or. Memorial day is varied rind appears to he growing morn so ss time 500¾ on. At flrst suggestion of the occasion the reader is apt to think only of the custom of placing bouquets and wreaths in garlands on the grassy mounds beneath which repose in their last dreamless sleep the boys in blue and gray who gave* up their lives In defense of their flag. But as a matter of fact It is a long-established custom for the American people generally to choose this occasion to place specially elaborate decorations upon the graves of loved ones, even though those whose memory is thus honored had naught to do with the stress and strife, the sacrifices of which MemoHal day is primarily Intended to commemorate. Que of the comparatively new use* of flowers CA Memorial day, which has grown greatly In . ffltfat Jtftxs, is the custom of placing wreaths *)f Jffossjl lagtopns or other similar tribntes upon 41^4MMMl "Which have been erected in the VfJlOlnJMPIteMI cities to our war-time heroes/ '<**• 4VHHBfcJM*r-<«BjHftl, where there are more statues, the pedestals are flags.

S**'.' 3Ers3«s! day is found in the practice of setting afioat huge baskets of miniature ships laden with flowers as a tribute to the American sailors who have given up their lives for the Stars and Stripes. Ihese flowers are quickly borne out of sight by the waves, and mayhap float out to sea, but the sentiment of the occasion is served. As death has year by year remorselessly thiftned 4he- ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Confederate Veterans and other organizations of one-time soldiers there has of necessity been a change in the plan of bearing flowers to the cemeteries and decorating the graves of those who have answered to the call of "taps." The approved plan was to have in each community on the significant day a procession to the cemetery in which the principal participants were little girls dressed in white, each carrying a huge bouquet or basket of flowers and, marching beside or behind these flower bearers, an equal number of veterans, each with a wreath of evergreen or holly, or ivy on his arm. When the procession arrived at the cemetery the participants distributed themselves throughout the burying ground until a little girl with flowers and a veteran with a wreath 'stood beside each grave marked with a tiny American flag. Then at a prearranged signal all the flowers and wreaths were placed simultaneously upon the graves of the comrades whom death has "mustered out." This impressive ceremony, and there could be nothing more appropriate, is yet followed in countless communities, but there have had to be many modifications. For one thing .the graves to be decorated have become much more numerous, whereas the number of surviving Veterans who are able to march to the cemetery with their wreaths has dwindled appreciably. A^olution has hern found, in many places, by drarting for f'is t'!sk mo'cb^rs of tlm SOTS i r "otarnns or nM:"r nr$?anh:3tinm iTV'df1 up of ^JviM-p^ nf old soldiers and also »r»terans of the Spanish- American war, many of whoiri are comparatively young men and who are sufficiently numerous to decorate the graves of their own fallen comrades and also the resting places of the heroes of the earlier wars. Another factor that has operated to influence a change>in the use of flowers on Memorial day is the growth in the size of many of our cities. In towns and small cities it is still practicable for the Decoration day host to march to the cemetery, but in all the larger cities it has become very much of a problem. In many instances cemeteries are so remote from the central part of the city* that it 1s unwise to ask aged veterans to attempt to march and out of the question to allow flower girls of tender years to trudge through the streets for hours at a stretch. Consequently it has become customary under such circumstances to convey the flowers in quantities to the cemeteries and there distribute them to those who are to participate in the decorating program. For this delivery of flowers the modern motor car has proven a most convenient vehicle and in all our large cities on the morning ot Memorial day one jpajf now see. the heavily laden "flower cart" spinning alonjg on their way to the cemeteries. The speedy horseless vehicles) have also provet> ley lines In order to convey the tons of blooms needed for the great memorial ornamentation. And, speaking of the interurban elec-.nc lines it may be adued that these roads new rrvake it popBlble to decorate with flowers the graves of soldiers in many a country cemetery which, under the old conditions, could not readily be reached by members of the organizations of veteranfa and other bodies that aim to see to it that no soldier's grave is unadorned on this significant occasion, Almost every known variety of flowers that bloom in the spring is employed to a frreater or less extent on Decoratldn day, but naturally the wild flowers of the season are especially popular for this purpose. In the sections where the season la sufficiently advanced the ros.es and peonies are great favorites on this occasion arid In the cooler climes violets and the hardy "pinks" are used extensively. In the more southernly states the yellow jasmine and the honeysuckle make admirable Decoration day festoons and at Arlington and other great national cemeteries It seems as though Memorial day has been timed to find the gorgeous purple wistaria at the climax of its glory. The mountain laurel is another floral favorite that lends itself to the purposes of the holiday, but of course It is not obtainable in all sections of the country. In recent years the use of natural flowers on Memorial day has been supplemented by the extensive use of artificial -flowers, particularly in the form of wreaths or designs emblematic of war-time badges or flags. However, the "artf flower designs" of the present day are indeed a revelation as compared with the crude attempts of some years ago. Some of the Decoration day designs are executed In metal, tinted to counterfeit nature, and this form is of course very permanent, but most artistic effects of lasting character are also being obtained by means of fine waxed crepe paper flowers. Such designs are being employed to an increasing extent un» der all circumstances where it is necessary to send Memorial day designs long distances. Howevp*\ tVp Whi^e FOUSP at.

Charges "Unreasonable" Restraint. This is the government's flrst antitrust suit conforming to the supreme court's Standard Oil decision, in that ft alleges "undue" and "unreasonable" restraint of the trade on the consumer and the manufacturere. It is the evident purpose of the plea to confine the charge largely to the feature, small stress being placed on the restraint of trade among true eonspfrators themselves. The government's suit is replete with sensational allegations, and it is asserted that the builders and consumers of lumber the country over are at the mercy of the retailers' organizations in different sections of the Waited States. Those Trust Suits.

These brown objects which our correspondent wrongfully calls eggs will turn into little black flies about one-tenth of an Inch long, resembling small mosquitoes. They will lay more eggs on the wheat, and the maggots which come out of these eggs will, by burrowing into the straw, cause further damage. They weaken the straw and cause it to fall over.

If the damage is heavy, however, and practically all the plants are infested and half -or two-thirds of them are jdlied, we would probably plow up the crop and plant to oats or any crop other than wheat. Dry weather is unfavorable to the development of the little brown objects called flaxseeds, which later develop into flies. It may be, therefore, if the spring continues dry, there will not. be much harm from the spring brood oi maggots. In moBt cases of very heavy infestation of wheat by the fly, and where it is desired to get the ground down to clover, we would be inclined to disk at the earliest possible moment, and seed to oats and clover.

H, M A S O N . ) - The shortage in the French potato crop has created a deficit which Is being :filled by large importations from other European countries, notably Great Britain, Austria, Germany and Belgium. Importations of potatoes from the United States to France had been prohibited -since the decree of 1875, which was inspired by fear of the Colorado potato bug, until that decree was annulled <on -October 15, 1910, opening the French markets to potatoes from the United States, provided they are clean, free from the soil in which tbqy wei® ^grown, and the packages In wiitch they are shipped contain no stems or leaves :of the potato plant. As A result of this long prohibition American potatoes are practically unknown in France, and French importer* have no acquaintance or established relations with American exporters which would enable the trade to be promptly taken up since the withdrawal of the prohibitory decree. Partly for this reason, and partly because many French people have still a lingering dread of some possible disease in American potatoes and do not even know that the prohibition against them has been withdrawn, they have not yet appeared in any appreciable quantity on the Paris market. • f a T y * ^ ^ : ? - * . ^ 'V'"/-,,/,.// >*.f. v . « i - <:% Crop flotation.

Potatoes should never be planted on low, moist land, as the potatoes are sure to be soggy when cooked. If you want nice winter beets, plant early beet seed in July and the roots will mature before cold weather comes. Dry, gravelly soil will produce wellflavored, thin-skinned, floury potatoes, and a rich clay loam the largest yield. Cabbage does not begin to "head up" until cool weather comes, and early plants do pot make as fine heads as those set later. Cabbage needs Cultivating very often during the summer.

[ For~5iany years th'e J*ile nation was the "world's premier market for perfumes. It was to a company of IshjBMlltea, -eome from QUead with splcery, balm and myrrh, that Joseph v a i sold; and -^he perfumer* were among the richest merchants of those remote times. * : The storied "balm of Ollead," then so common and now so rare that only the sultan can have all he wants, is distilled from the .'axnyris, a bush that once upon * time covered the mountains of Gilead. In Vain today might Jeremiah cry out: "Isithere no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there?" The ancient Hebrews made wide use, of perfumes—first in their religious ceremonials. Indeed, their love of Sweet odors was on a par with their love for gold and precious stones; and as certain of the latter had to be used lor the adorning of the high priests, so were certain perfumes set aside for the service of the altar and the inner temple. The Jews perfumed their beds; scented their hair and beards and, wor© alabaster vials filled with musk, attar of rose, balsam or costly spike*' nard of the sort with which the woman bathed the feet* of Jesus of Nazareth. And it is a signiflcent testimonial to their high regard for perfumes that of the three offerings borne to the Infant savior by the wise men two. were of perfume—frankincense and myrrh. The Talmud directs that one-tenth of each bride's dowry be set aside for the purchase of perfumes, and the queen of Sheba was long remembered in Judea for having Introduced there a delightful odor known as the "balsam of Mecca," which gained great popularity. It is now grown In only ono place—a certain Arabia plantation— and the total annual yield is three pounds. ' Old Books and Values. Such a sale as that of the Hoe collection, which attracts widespread notice by reason of its spectacularism, always has the unfortunate effect of Iirn^TT,<MB~-a*flBgarfttftd ffi»pfl' among many people concerning the value of old books. It U hard to explain to fetich people when they submit a volume a couple 6f hundred years old, and are told that It may be worth In the market anywhere from nothing to one dollar, how it i s that some old books are valueless, while others are priceless. An ignorant imagination, 'stimulated to accounts . Of fabulous sums readily paid at auction sales for old books, is not easily convinced that foTfiRlmel subtle, still thereart rufel. And thus, whether the price at the big book auctions are or are not absurd, they are certainly producMve of absurd ideas with people who have in their possession a dogeared volume or two which belonged to great-great-grand- TRUST ILLEGAL U. 8 . W I N S DECISIVE VICTORY A G A I N 8 T COMBINE H E L D MONOPOLY IN R E 8 T R A I N T O F T R A D E . IS GIVEN SIX MONTHS TO M A K E CHANGE8. Tribunal Declares in Decree Corporation Ruthlessly Carried Out Purpose to Crush Competitors; Public Injured, Too, Says Court. The supreme court of the United States ordered the dissolution of the American Tobacco company, that recording its judgment In the second of the big anti-trust cases. The dissolution, however, unlike that of the Standard Oil company, is to be carried on under tbe direction of the lower court—the circuit court of appeals for the southern district of New York. The supreme bench places on that court the burden of devising not only a plan of dissolving the combination, but of "recreating, out of the elements now composing it, a new condition which shall be honestly in harmony with and not repugnant to the law." To enter such a decree, it became necessary for the supreme court to reserve and. remand the case to the federal court In New York. The decision of the supreme court goes much farther than that of the lower tribunal. It includes within its condemnation the 29 individuals named in the government's bill of complaint, the two English corporations, the British-American Tobacco company and.^lhe Imperial Tobacco company, and also the United Cigar Stores company. Chief Justice White, who read the opinion, held that the circuit court of appeals had erred in dismissing the government's bill of complaint against the individuals and the foreign corporations and also in not granting the government's prayer and including within the decree the United Cigar Stores company. In brief the supreme court completely sustained all of the vital points contended for in the original bill of complaint filed by the government. Attorney General Wickersham in a forma] statement expressed great pleasure over the decision. Mav Temperature Wall Over Normal. l*fe:v«uH's Load.

To these figures must be added the local debts and expenditures of Scotland snd Ireland. A British paper'says: "ItMs quite wrong to calculate, as statisticians do, how much this vast oppressive sum comes to per head of the population. The weight of it is not spread throughout toe entire people. It falls lightly on some thousands of rich men, and very heavily on a few million hard* ^working bread-winners." For Sleeplessness. A sufferer from insomnia states that she was cured of sleeplessness by the simplest means, that of eating a raw onion sandwich just before going t o bed. Less disagreeable to some people is another sandwich cure which bat been vouched for by an enthueiast.

With 20 big freighters swinging idly behind the breakwater In Buffalo, owing to scarcity of cargoes and a heavy reduction in the number of boats in commission, shipping Interests are taking a pessimistic view of the outlook for the season's business on the great lakes. "Not in more than 50 years has there been such general slackening," said Capt. J. J. H. Brown, today. "Shipments are almost at a standstill at both ends of the lakes and there are 400 boats idle between Buffalo and Duluth. Only half of the total lake vessel capacity is in commission at the present time, and onethird of those boats could take care of the business offered." Charter I t Revoked.

Lansing.—Prof. Henry C. Adams of the university, former Lieut. Gov. Patrick H. Kelley and Roger I. Wykes, who were appointed a commission by Governor Osborn to make a comprehensive Investigation into the tax systems of all the states and report to. the 1913 legislature a plan for revis&g and improving the Michigan tax laws, arrived in Detroit to organize. They went into conference at the P$ntchartrain. The late legislative session authorized the commission. At the conference a general p(lan will be formulated as to how the work will be conducted. Up to this meeting there had not been even an informal exchange of ideas by the three commissioners as to what the improvements in the laws should be. Mr, Wykes, who is the Grand Rapids member of the commission, was given a second appointment of impor-/ tance by^Governor Osborn within5 a week. The second one was clKJuit Judge of Kent county, the legislature at the late session having created an additional Judgeship for Kent. He has not yet made up his mind whether or not he will accept the Judgeship,, and his reasons for hesitating are stated by him thus: •<••>',: "I am special counsel for the attorney general's department in eight important caseB now pending, some of them in the United States Supreme court. These include the telephone and telegraph tax Bults, the express companies suit, and the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee railroad tax cases. If, after a talk with the attorney general, I am satisfied that it would" Inconvenience and make more expensive the state's side in these cases for me to withdraw and accept a Judgeship, whyt I would decline the appointment of Judge. Then again I am not sure that if I were a circuit Judge I could spare the time for the work on the special tax commission, although the governor thinks I could. I did not seek the'Judicial appointment,' r*r_" Prison A i r Purer Than In Hospital. Governor Osborn has received a copy of a letter from C. L. Wernicke, member of the board of control of Jackson prison, aad the original of which was sent to Warden Simpson of the prison. In his letter Mr. Wernicke says: "I was glad to note the report covering the examination of the air in the cell blocks, from which it appears that the east block is no worse than the west block, and that the conditions In hoth blocks can- be Improved by prop' er attention to ventilation* by way of the windows. I am specially gratified to find that the average conditions in both blocks shows the air to be better than in certain university buildings, including tne nurses' hospital. Although the wheat will not be "The bacteria in the air differ wideready to cut for two or three weeksr-ly in different cells in both blocks, and are governed almost entirely by the degree of cleanliness maintained. This is a matter entirely within your control, and should have careful attention from time to time. "On the whole, this report absolutely disproves, so far as hygienicconditions are concerned, the clamor and unfavorable publicity which has been going the rounds of the press and which has agitated the mjnds of good people all over the state, and reduces tbe matter of Just criticism solely to the size of the cells themselves, which are admittedly small, if your calculations and experiments recently undertaken, whereby two cells are made into one, prove to be feasible, this last criticism can also be overcome." x N Peteekey Plana ter W.

Lansing.—Systematic work to reduce the fire hazards throughout the state, Insurance Commissioner C. A. Palmer announces w.H be the principal object of his^jfcew State fire marshal's' bureau.'toAttect lira will also b e given to the Investigation of suspicious fires. The department has an important fire under inrsstigatibn now to ascertain whether it was of incendiary origin, but the department will devote the greater part of its activities to reduction of fire hazards this year. Consultation has been bad with the fire marshal of Indiana who has a most efficient sye|em in operation in the maintenance of which the state expends $52,000 annually, so sucf&ssful has the organization been in improving conditions tending to Jeopardize large property interests. A^i>iant Fire Marshal H. A. Wolff has commenced the work of investigation in a number of cities and, working with the chiefs of tbe fire departments, is directing the removal of buildings which endanger nearby property as well aB ordering improved conditions and clean-ups to accomplish the same object. In addition letters are being sent to fire pfflolals in every community in the state, enclosing a copy of the law and calling their attention to the duties they are required to perform under its provisions. Fire insurance companies are also being notified and the officials of the inspection bureaus named as deputies to assist in the inspection wjbrk of the department. The law pro vides broad authority for the-^departmen't In reducing fire hazards throughout the state and Inspections as soon as" theyr ean be made will determine what steps are necessary to better cpadftfens. \. Mr. Palmer will attend the state firemen's convention in Manistee and discuss the provisions of the new law wJXh the chiefs. H e states that generagr^ ehroughout the state the fire ctflefs are expressing their approval -of the act and assuring him of their enthusiastic co-operation in making, it an efficient remedy that will eliminate*- many features of communities exceedingly dangerous to life and property should a serious blaze get under way. Mr. Palmer realizes that it is a new feature of state activity and he believes that when the merits of the plan are understood the- people generally will aid in bringing about a successful enforcement of the sections.

"Except thejprtce she asks," Interposed the lawyer, dryly. Shaking his head, he went on: "You'll find that a wife's devotion Is a very strong motive power, Jeffries. It will move irresistibly forward in spite of all the barriers you and I can erect to stay its progress. That may sound like a platitude, but it's a fact nevertheless."

He opened the door, and as he did so he turned to the lawyer: "If there are any new developments let me know at once." He left the office and Alicia breathed a sigh of relief. She did not love her husband, but she feared him. He was not only 20 years her senior, but his cold, aristocratic manner intimidated her. Her first impulse had been to tell him everything, but she dare, not. His manner discouraged her. He would begin to ask questions, Questions which she could not answer without seriously incriminating herself. But her conscience would n e t allow her to stand entirely aloof from the tragedy in which •bet husband's scapegrace son was involved.

For a few moments he sat still plunged in deep thought. Suddenly, he touched a bell. The head clerk entered. "Show Mrs. Howard Jeffries, Jr., in." The clerk looked surprised. Strict orders hitherto had been to show the unwelcome visitor out. He believed that he had not heard aright. "Did you say Mrs. Jeffries, Jr., judge?" "I said Mrs. Jeffries, Jr.," replied the lawyer, grimly. "Very well, judge," said the clerk, as he left the room. Presently there was a timid knock at the door. "Come in!" called out the lawyer. /- CHAPTER XV. Annie entered the presence of the famous lawyer -"pale—and ill at ease. This sudden summons to Judge Brewster's private office was so unexpected that it came like a shock. For days she had haunted the premises, sitting in the outer office for hours at a time exposed to the stare and covert smiles of thoughtless clerks and office boys. Her requests for an Interview had-been met with curt refusals. They either said the judge was out of town or else that he was too busy to be seen. At last, evidently acting upon orders, they flatly refused to even send fn her name, and .she had About abandoned hope when, all at once, a clerk approached her, and addressing her more politely than usual, said that the judge would see her in a few minutes. Her heart gave a'great throb. ' Almost speechless from surprise, she stammered a faint thanks and braced herself for the interview on which'so much depended. For t h e first time since the terrible affair h^ad happened, there was a faint glitirmer or hope ahead. If only she could roth over to the Tombs and tell Howard the joyful news so he might keep up cour-, age! "It w a t eight days now since Howard's arrest, and the-trial would take place in six weeks, There w a s still time to prepare a strotg defense If the judga would only consent >to take the oase, . S h e - w a s more sure tfashrever that a clever lawyer/wou'd have no difficulty in convincing a jury that Howard's alleged "confession" was untrue and improperly obtained. v Itt the- tntervalt o f "waiting t o see the lawyer, t h e had ednttlttd every one she/toewv tad t t t t t t >ether» she had talked with D r . iBernatain, the .noted pejchologUV whom t h e feed s e e s once at Yale; He ^ received her kindly and listened a t t e n t i v e l y ^ her story. When she had finished he had evinced the greatest interest He told h e r t h t t he happened to be the physician called In, on Che night at .the tragedy, and at that time be had grave doubts ag to It being a case, of murder, He believed U wat suicide, and he had told Ctpt. Clinton to, hot the, peHce captain had made up hit nUnd, vend, that wti, the .end of it. Howard's "confesaiojv" he went en, reeyy meant nothing. if oaUed to-the statd he eould show the, iory ^hti a JiypnoUe aubject-oan, be mtde to/ Mei»ftftt|r to atyttar t» the >lnte^ ett of truth, jnttice, tnd.acieece, he said, he would gladly come to her All this ahe wotld toU Judge Brewhim, no doubt. Suddenly, a cold shiver ran through her. How did she know he would* take the case? Perhaps this summons to his office was only to tell her once more that he would have nothing to do wl^h her and her husband. She wondered why he had decided so suddenly to see her and, like a flash, an idea came to her. She had seen Mr. Jeffries, Sr., enter the inner sanctum and, instinctively, Bhe felt that she had something to do with his visit. The banker had come out accompanied by a richly-dressed woman whom she guessed to be his wife. She looked with much interest at Howard's stepmother. She had heard so much about her that it seemed to her that she knew her personally. As Alicia swept proudly by, the eyes of the two women met, and Annie was surprised to see in the banker's wife's face, instead of the cold, haughty stare she expected, a wistful, longing look, as if she would like to stop and tails With her, but dare not. In another instant she was gone, and, obeying a clerk, who beckoned her to follow him, sbe entered Judge Brewster's office. The lawyer looked up as she came in, but did not move from his seat. Gruffly he said: "How long do you intend to keep up this system of—warfare? How long are you going to continue forcing your way Into this office?" "I didn't force my way in," she said, quietly. "I didn't expect to come in. The clerk said you wanted to see me." The lawyer frowned and scrutinized her closely. After a pause, he said: "I want to tell you for the fiftieth time I uan du nothing for you." "Fifty?" she echoed. "Fifty did you say? r :Really, it doesn't seem that much." : Judge Brewster looked at her quick' ly to see if she was laughing at him. Almost peevishly, he said: "For the last time, I repeat I can do nothing for you." "Not the last time, judge," she replied, shaking her head. "I shall come again tomorrow." The lawyer swung around in his chair with indignation. "You will—?" Annie nodded. "Yes, sir," she said, quietly. "You're determined to force your way in here?" exclaimed the lawyer. "Yes, sir." The judge banged the desk with his fist. - "But-I-won^t-aUow-itl—thave^ something to say, you know! I can't permit this to go on. I represent my client, Mr. Howard Jeffries, Sr., and he won't consent to my taking up your husband's case." There was a shade of sarcasm in Annnie's voice as she asked calmly: "Can't you do it without his consent?" The lawyer looked at her grimly. "I can," he blurted out, "but—1 won't." Her eyes flashed at she replied quickly. "Well, you ought to—" The lawyer looked up in amazement. "What do you mean?" he demanded. "It's your duty to do it," she said, quietly. "Your duty to his son, to me, and to Mr. Jeffries himself. Why, he's s o eaten up with his family pride and false principles that he can't see the difference between right and wrong. Yoo're bis lawyer. It's your duty to put him right. It's downright wicked of you to. refuse—you're hurting him. Way,. whejQ I was hunting around for a lawyer' one of them actually^ re fused to take up t5e "case "because he said, old Brewster must think Howard, w a t guilty or he'd,have taken it up himself. You and hie father are putting the whore world against him. and you know it." . , * The Judge was staggered. No one in* his recollection had ever dared to speak to him like that. He was so astonished that he forgot to reeent it, and he bid his confusion by taking put hit handkerchief and mopping his forehead.*" "I do know it," he admitted. , "Then why do .you dp it?" she snapped. The lawyer hesitated, and then he said: "I—that's not the question." Annie leaped quickly forward, and t h e replied: "It-a my question—and as yon say, I've asked it 60 times." The lawyer sat back in his chair and looked at her for a moment without speaking. He surveyed her trit« Ically from head to foot,-and then, a t ' if satisfied with his examination, i a i d : (To 5 « fcOJcmnJBD.) What ft May Ceine To. .

ADMITS PLAN FOR INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT COVERING WORLD TRADE. Declares Sherman Law Fails to Meet Modern Needs and Predicts Radical Change. Elbert H. Gary, chief executive officer Of the U. S. Steel corporation, resuming his testimony before the house "steel trust" investigating committee denounced the Sherman antl? trust law as archaic and declared that governmental control of corporations jeventully would come. Mr. Gary asserted that the steel corporation would welcome such a change and would be glad if the government would go so far as to dictate the prices of steel products. In explanation of the reported rW&rld-wide "trust" Mr. Gray said that a conference would be held in Brussels July 5 and G to organize an international steel institute similar to the American Iron & Steel institute. The latter, he asserted, was formed to prevent demoralization in trade and to permit an exchange of ideas for the betterment of the steel industry. In no Instance, Mr.* Gary said, had there been any attempt at an unlawful combination or an expressed or implied agreement. Mr. Gary said he would do all he could, morally and legally, to further the proposed international institute. Increased prices are to be charged for steel rails in the near future, according to Mr. Gary. Higher cost of labor and raw material, together with a demand for heavier rails were given as the reason for the advance. "I think it is a question of the greatest importance how the peoplo shall be protected from the great or^ ganizations of capital," said Judge Gary. Lorlmer to Be Tried by Colleagues. Senator Lorlmer, of Illinois, faces another investigation at the hands of his colleagues. The inquiry will be conducted by a Bun-committee of tim committee on privileges and eleci tlonj, composed of four Republicans and four Democrats, four of whom voted for the conviction and four for the acquittal of the senator last session. The method selected is regarded as the latest thing In Jury trials. It took seven hours' debate to agree on the system, and it was finally adopted by a vote of 48 to 20, being substituted for the plan urged by Senator La Follette of turning the case over to five senators who were not members when the case was voted on before, and theref6re were supposed to be unbiased. It is understood that the sub-committee on investigation will consist of Senators DilllnKham and Gamble, Republicans, and Fletcher and Johnston,' Democrats; pro-Lorimer, and Senators Ciapp and Kenyon, Repub licans, and Kern and Lea, Democrats, antl-Lorimer. heit nr***** theaeaivtt by U. 8. Better Off Than a Month Ago. The treasury made a much better showing for May than it did for April and its condition as compared with a month ago is materially strengthened. The piling up of gold coin and bullion in the vaults continues steadily. A little more than $1,815,000,000 was there June 1, the high water mark tor the treasury's gold holdings. The government's finances begin a new month's business on the basis of a surplus. It is small—less than $1,000,000—but a surplus Is shown in spite of nearly $3,000,000 spent from the cash drawer for the Panama canal. Under ordinary circumstances a surplus of nearly $5,000,000 would be shown. May's receipts from all sources exceeded $61,000,000 and beat April by a round $10,000,000. Expenditures, however, were held down to about $56,000,000, some $3,000,000 greater than last month. , \ Corporation tax receipts, which will come In this month and promise to exceed the. estimates, wilt*add to the strength of the treasury.

With his sllek short hair, his smile and /his pearl stickpin, he did not look in the least like sn sgent of a great secret body whose arms-stretch mysteriously from the Orient both ways around the bulge of the world, whose men rob, lit, bribe and kill to get their human contraband undiscovered across our border, whose stinking slav* era come sneaking down with doused lights from two oceans on our coasts, a corporation which here, in the United State*-of America, holds hundreds oT men in bondage often little lighter than that of the southern negroes before the war. Yet such are the companies which manage the trade in smuggled Chiness laborer *-* «» «« *h*j*tmm of conspiring to smuggle CMneiriaborere with which a federal grand Jury had charged the harmless looking Dr. Moy. •serst Company at Work. The coat of psssags from Chins to the west coast of Mexico is something like $130, even at the lowest steerage rates, snd to reach Jamaica coats about $80 more. Adding the $450 or $S00 tor the perilous Journey in the schooner snd the still more perilous landing, it costs shout $dS0 to bring a Chinaman into the eastern state*. Now, if any ons of these men who risk their yellow necks to land here had trad anything like $680 saved up at home in China, he could have lived fa luxury all the days of hla lift, and all bis children and grandchildren with him. Then, why do these men want to come to America? '_ " The answer ia simple. Not one of the immigrants had saved anything to THE CHINAMEN WERE THROWN OVERBOARD ANO LEFT TO DROWN. dary of nearly ten thousand miles in extent. As a matter of fact, it is a very difflcuH thing, as is seen by the shrinking..Chinese colonies of a bun* drsd American cities. A great many more Chinamen die or go home to China every year than manage to slip past the guards. Job by No Means an Easy Ons. The simplest way, evidently, to import s group of coolies is to load them on a vessel and land them at some unexpected spot from which they can be quickly transferred to some crowded "Chinatown" In a city where they will be Indistinguishable from the older.Inhabitants. It is not really so simple as Jt looks. In the first place, the government keeps an eye on the trans-pacific steamers snd ssiures itself of the destination of any constdeuble bands which travel by them. Again, a schoonerload of Chinamen is not likely to set sail from any neighboring port without some one being aware of it who may become informer. It was only a few years ago that the government ottueia ill Boston received sn unsigned posts! card from Newfoundland saying that forty-two Chinamen were watting at Placsntia, a little fishing Tillage on the Newfoundland cosst, to be taken to "the states." A government man was sent hurrying to Newfoundland. He reached Placentla and found that the Chinamen had sailed in the schooner Frolic, of Marblehead, at daybreak that morning. He telegraphed back to Boston, snd the story wss given to the newspapers. Glaring headline* told in every port of the Atlantic coast how the schooner Frolic wss then st sea, searching for a place to land fortytwo Chinamen with pigtails. Cutters cruised off shore from Montauk to Machias, and every coasting schooner and ocean steamer •w>wg th» coaat from Norfolk to Halifax kept a sharp lookout for the smuggler. watchman telephoned the polios, snd the police woks up the treasury men. The two Ohlnsmefejvere axreatad, snd a few minutes &*# a revenue yaad slipped alOBgsld* the anchored schooner, and the men in the government boat read the schooner's name in gilt letters on her slender stem. She was ther-Frolic. She had sailed up Narragansett in broad daylight the dsy before and come to anchor off the coal pocket at ten o'clock In the forenoon. All day she lay at anchor, not far from the channel, in full view from the harbor and the shore. No one had taken the trouble to read hei name and she was passed for a visiting fisherman. Twenty-Four 8afsly Landed. Sixteen more Chinamen were found hidden in the hold. The remaining 24 hsd already made their escape. The state of her bold, where 42 Chinamen had lived for eight days, wss a shock even to the hardened customs men. A fishing craft of less than 100 tons does not have much room below decks, snd at her best tfap mixed odor of fish and bilge water makes It sn undesirable place hi which to lounge awsy an afternoon. The Chinamen slept on the floor, packed solid like apoona in a box, with hardly an Inch of room to turn in. For four days of her voyage the schooner had worked her way through fog, in waters that were frequented both by fishermen and steamers. Any moment a vessel might come a poo her, snd the csptstn did not wish to have his passengers seen upon hla decks. So during those four days ths Chinese hsd stayed shut sp in the hold, With only such light SLd air as found their way down the hatchway. Except for the fog, which kept her s week at sea. and the smell of the passengers, which drove the crew nearly to mutiny, she bad sn easy passage after that, and was not interrupted till the government men captured her off the Providence coal pocket The captain and two of his accomplices were tried and sent to prison. The captain testified that their profits, if the trip bad proved successful, would have been $15,000 over all expenaes, Including $250 apiece to ths crew. Every one of the 18 Chinamen awore in court that he had lived for many years in America, that he had qualified to return under the law, but that ths papers to prove it had been lost In ths "big fire" in San Francisco.

Consider* ed as evidence, the two facts make slender proof, but the sailors along the coast believe that (he Chinamen were thrown over from the schooner and left to drown as negroes were thrown over from slave ships in the old dsya when every vessel that carried "black ivory" was counted as a pirate by ths law of nations.

His hungry soul longed for the old-time victuals like—well, dandelion greens or, bet' tsr still, mustard greens. Mrs. Jennings was tired of tryMg to resurrect for Jennings the nave* of the old home days;- Nothing she did suited Jennings* Jaded appetite. She was Just making up her mind to try partial starvation as s euro when Jennings remarked one evening to a last stand sort of* voice: There'* nothing in this town fit to eat except beans. Now, Mary, if yon could contrive to cook up a pot of beans that would taste like my mother'a I believe I'd qnlt being so homesick for real grub." Mrs. Jennings wss a little startlejf by this announcement She nam cooked beans frequently tn the se%f eral years of her msrried life and nes»» er until this moment bed shssuspeev ed that the method of cooking the* wss below par. #- "How doss your mother cesjfc; beans?" she asked. "Why," readily volunteered nines, "she Just cooks aires* tbey'rs done. That's all. there U.JtO. beans—Just cook 'em enough.'* No amount of questioning could bring out more explicitly the secrets of this toothsome home dish. Mrs. Jennings, however, in a sort of desperation, resolved to make ons* heroic effort Nothing that wss ever. done to beans to make them toothr. some was to be left undoes. , Accordingly she soaked them over night and poured off the water nest morning. |he then put these(ln her: beat pot snd parboiled tbJsm^r^fully drained them through a colander snd set them hack for a long and goqdV boil. v Nothing, sbsolutsly -<«ssy»: uy sw dearly spared.

"What" did^ you do to them?" hs almost moaned. . . ' <<* Mrs. Jennings drew a quick breatkv flushed a little snd in a voice of deeply calm went over minutely the many processes of ths preparation. "What do you mean by parboillngf" Inquired Jennings. "Why, putting a pinch of soda into the first water." "Well, that's whst did it Mother never parboiled hers." • *> , A peculiar gasp scross the take* caused Jennings to glance at >la w^ff Mrs. Jennings wss trying despera*lr hard to iay something, Finally managed to enunciate quite the worda, "You selfish brute!" Never in all her married life—but what's the use of giving details? They quarreled snd continued the performance until both were reduced to that terrible silence thst always follows a domestic earthquake. And than ths doorbell rang. It waa Jennings' mother. "I knew I'd surprise you," she said. "I expect I oughtn't to have come.

Rockyboy and his reds needed the nation's help badly, and between the humorously inclined newspaper correspondent, the Hooeier senator and half a dosen of bis colleagues it came to them at a time when years of disappointment had rendered them pretty nearly hopeless. If Rockyboy hadn't been so poverty stricken he doubtless would have sent the leggings, the beaded moccasin, the antelope shirt and the eagle feather war bonnet of chieftainship to newspaper man and senator as a mark of thankfulness for services rendered. Rockyboy and his following of warriors and women and children had been wandering through Montana for years and never had been able to* get • home. For some reason which history declareth mot Rockyboy and his people were spurned alike by reds and whites. When the hunting and fishing were poor Rockyboy's bands came to the edge of starvation. Bill after bill had been introduced into congress to give relief to these roving reds, but no bill ever came within sight of the passing stage. Finally the name, Rockyboy, struck a newspaper man's %fancy. Possibly he had had the feeling himself. In an idle moment he drew up a mock legislative measure and la it Senator Beverldge figured as Chief Rockyboy, while a dozen or so other senators appeared under various names as members of Rockyboy's band of warriors. The names • either fitted admirably or misfitted just as admirably. Senator Allison of Iowa, who.in no conceivable i : JYJELSO// AWfiiCH circumstances would commit himself by word of mouth, appeared as! Chief Talks-Too-Much. Senator Aldrich of Rhba> Island, who, for reasons which may be perfectly apparent to everybody that knows anything about him, was called in the newspaper man's Rockyhoy relief measure Chief 'Smooth-Medicine. A copy of the skit fell under Senator Bever* ldge's eye. It amused him immensely. He hung it on the wall of his room and showed it to callcm. Finally one day It occurred to him that Rockyboy and his band had done him a service of amusement and he ooactaded that turn about v^wenly fair play, and so he thought he would look into Rockyboy's case and find out how.lt was that for years congress had refused to go to the aid of some of its wards who were at the point of starvation at least six months of the year. The senator apparently thought that it wouldn't hurtttilimemhers of the Rockyboy band to have a fey/*q,uare meals, even though they were not the most deserving reds In the land.

This view that Baker took of the inherent right of a man to work at peddling or anything else without paying for the privilege was not new. It had been advanced occasionally In congress, and frequently elsewhere, by men of a certain bent of mind. Mr. Baker, however, took the last 80 seconds of the minute allotted to him to spring something novel and it was for the finishing of that half-minute speech that certain of the congressmen whose curiosity was piqued are " anxious. The Brooklyn member told his fellow members pointblank and without any explanatory reasons that they were guilty of causing the deaths of 450 out of every 1,000 babies that were born. Naturally, after being arraigned for whole* , sale murder in this way, the members were anx- ; lous to know along what lines their guilt lay.

Ooldfogle, representative in congress from New York city, in a speech In the house gave those of his colleagues whose knowledge of history does not extend to details an Interesting chapter concerning a Jewish patriot" of the revolutionary period who gave up his money to help the government out of financial straits. Mr. Ooldfogle, like the generous one of a past generation, is a Jew,, and he took a proper pride In the deed of the man of his faith. In some respects this "story of the giving of money to the government by Hyman Salomon, the Jewish citizen, is one of the most remarkable which ever, haa been called to the attention of congress. The country does not know much" about It, - It ought to know all about it and it ought to appreciate not only the generosity of the patriot but the ^ctjo^n, of the patriot's descendants who'gave congress one of the biggest surprises it has ever received.

WESTERN CAN AD A BEYOND THE PIONEER STAGE + Llborty-Lovlng Pepple Have Ail the Liberty the Heart Can Desire Under Canadian Laws. She New York Commercial of April 19th contained an interesting article on conditions in Western Canada. Ths following extracts will prove instructive reading to those wno contemplate moving to Canada. The writer, speaks of land at $8 to $18 an acre. As a matter of fact, there is very little land ,that can be had now at less than $18 per acre, but when one considers the productive qualities of this land It Is safe to say that in two years', time there will be little available land to be had at less than $30 an acre. Already the free grant lands in the open prairie districts are becoming exhausted and the homesteader has to go farther back to the partially wooded areas. This Is no drawback, however. Some prefer this land to the open prairie. A recent publication, issued by the Department of the Interior, Ottawa, Canada, and which Is forwarded, free to applicants by mall by any of the ^Canadian government agents throughout the United States, says of the newly-opened districts: Water Is always abundant, wood and fuel are plentiful and the soil that can grow the poplar and the willow as well as the rich grasses that are to be found there can be relied upon to produce all the small varieties of grain with equal success. The New York Commercial article referred to deals more particularly with conditions along the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific, but what Is said of one line of railway may with 4rftth be said of the land and the conditions along both the Canadian Northern and the Canadian Pacific. The article says: "It would be no exaggeration to say that practically all the land along the entire distance traversed by the Grand Trunk Pacific system is capable of furnishing homes to those who engage in farming. The lands are of three classes. They may be designated, first, as having special adapt a t l o n tO th« pmHnf>Hftn nf gra<n; second, as having such adaptation to mixed farmlngr~of which live stock will form an important feature, and third, as being mainly adapted to the production of iive stock only. On the third class of lands the area is not very large, of the second it is much larger and of the first it is by far the largest. "As soon as mixed farming shall be generally adopted, land that'may now be obtained for from $8 to $18 per acre, and even lands open now to free homesteads, will sell for $50 to $100 per acre. This is not an extravagant statement. In natural fertility these lands fully equal those of the American corn belt. In variety of production they excel them, and yet the latter sell for $100 to $200 per acre^ In addition to the Kilqfey 'trojfpliU at* Hpo iserlottt to neglect.y Slight' ailments ate- of tea fone-runners of -dangerous kld.nqy UV ness^and should be treated without delay; J. • L.

Eighty per cent, of the land will grow clover and alfalfa. A still larger percentage will grow field peas, and the entire tillable area will; grow good crops of the cultivated grasses, timothy, brome grass and 'western rye grass. With these elements what can^ prevent this region from becoming'"the main source of food supply of the Empire and Imperial dominions?" Special stress Is laid upon the educational conditions. The writer says: "The foundation of the social fabric of the agricultural country may be said to rest on the efficiency of its school system. Liberty-loving people have all the liberty the heart can desire under Canadian laws. In this regard Western Canada has a system of education based upon the best that can be obtained from the United States or Eastern Canada. Its school system and regulations are second to none. Every boy or girl has a school house brought to his or.her doorway. The governmentJs jhost liberal In its' support of higher education.' In Wln- ^ e g ^ B a s k i ^ and Edmontei are to be found excelled colleges.an&ipii? ^ersitlef^ so that the problem of: higher education is' solved.

Bay city.—Curiosity to know what the • interior of a mine looked like, led to the death from suffocation by the deadly black damp of Frederick Uhlxnan, a wealthy farmer, thirty-three years old, who lived Ave miles west of this city. Uhlmaa some time ago bought the farm on which the Mlcbigan mine, which about three months ago reached the limits of Its coal leases, and was abandoned, Is located. With his hired man, he was looking over th* farm and came to the mine air shaft which slopes into the mice proper. Beth, men went down the air shaft but the farm hand became nervous after proceeding 15 feet and started back, Uhlman saying be waB gofng down further. Traverse City. — Daring a severe electrical storm a large barn and outbuildings on the fami of David Rouscb, five miles south of this dty,' were destroyed by fire, the result of a stroke of lightning. All the Tarm implements in the buildings including wagons, buggies, mowing machines, binder and other machinery were a total loss. Large quantity of "siding were also consumed. The toss is about $2,000, partly insured. This is the third time to eight months Rousn has suffered a similar toss. Th© large barn of George VaadeTlln,* new Roush's. was also struck "by fattening and destroyed "by fire together with all the contents, consisting of Tray and grain. Alpena. — John M.

'.I After a lifetime spent in learning) the business of keeping cows I do not hesitate to say to the young man! reared on a farm: "Farm; and 1¾ you farm, keep stock; and if you keejf stock, keep cows; and i,* you keep cows, keep Jerlsey cows,"^writes H. SJ Chapman in 'the Breeder's^lasette, Of course, I add to this, "If yon keep Jefflejr cows, keep registered Jersey cows. My reasons for maintaining tljat the Jersey cow is superior to all others as a butter cow are as follows: > Her ability to produce butter and cheese economically stands undisputed. Her record in many public tests, Including the Chicago, St. Louie and Portland expositions, has given her the reputation, enviable and indisputable, of being the world's greatest butter cow*, The extra size of the fat giofmles in Jerseys milk renders the butter of superior grain end firmness and more easily separated from the cream. The Jersey cow has the function of assimilation devfilnrpH tn» n gr^atftr degree than any other breed. She is V high-grade specialist as a feeder. She will glve^profltable returns from a ration so rich (concentrated) t: it other cows can not assimilate it. 1. is this ability to stand force-feeding that ha* bWrught the Jersey out ahead in BO many public tests.. This is a merit of the Jersey , that can {profitably be taken advantage oitin a working dairyherd. In the herd In which the raising of stock is the primary consideration I would keep a little closer to nature1, even at the risk of surrendering to some extent the meritorious qualities that artificial conditions have produced. Superiority In numbers makes the Jersey a more practical animal than her rivals. The animal that naturally 1B matched against the Jersey is the Guernsey. The Guernsey has her good points dnd doubtless merits the friends she has won. If you like Guernseys better than Jerseys, that may be a reason why you may succeed better with them. I am frank to admit that my personal preference for Jerseys doubtless has been a factor in my success with Jerseys. But setting aside personal likes and dislikes, it is far easier for the beginner to start with Jerseys, because so many more bulls ^ f that breed are kept than pf Guernseys. Consequently, there is far leas excuse for inbreeding, and the breeder easily can find the bloodlines that he needs in his herd without the expense ot frequently buying a bull. Another point in farorof the Jersey cow is her medium-smal^ site. Experiments have proved that it requires about 2 pounds of balanced ration per day to sustain each 100 pounds of an animal's live weight; the dairy products and gain in live weight are aade from what feed can be assimilated in excess of the sustaining ration, Tfcen if the 90*poand cow witt produce v» much dairy product 1* 1# yean as wiH tbet M0*pouad cow, can we afford to carry this extra 500 pounds of lire weight for a term of 10 years at a ecnvt of 86,500 pounds of feed, just for the •extra WW poundB of poor beef we would have at the end of that time"? Just "Che item of extra cost of barn room for the larger animal for the .10 years would overbalance the' value of the extra amount of bef£ However, if there is such a thing as a practical dual-purpose cow 1$ is to be f^ound in same of the families of large Jerseys. The pbpuiar demand for large cows made tt zveoessary for xne to carry a family of large Jersey* during the last »0 years,. T h i s family of cows weighed trom-t#Q9 t o l^SXXp pounds each, *but In out famlTles or smaller -e^ws-WA_had a' far greater proportion that wouUFmaSe It Tloti&ds of butter per day> and they woul4fa> It oa less ^eed. Lass-bnt not least Is tbtskrlef mlng up of the most salient ex cies of the Jersey, I:fjTace fcer bearnyi famity can for a moment compatO with her. She Is the prettiest cow there U. Her prominent eye. and expressive countenance, together with her alert, dress-parade attitude, win for her the admiration of all lovers of the beautiful. Her oajpabtlities in point'of looks are so great that it really has , to be admitted that in some families beauty has been cultivated at the' expense of other and. moro important characteristics. The Care of Lambs. At eight to ten days of age lambs will begin to cat. At that time a creep should be built which will give them access to a feed box containing grain and a trough with hay. Box, trough and feed should always be kept sweet and clean. A good grain ration for lambs is made as follows: Mix one-third part of ollmeal with one part each of bran, oats and fine cornmeal. Red alfalfa hay or the second cutting of alfalfa hay are the most desirable form of roughage. Of the two alfalfa Is to be much preferred. It is a good idea to keep up the grain feed right along until the lambs are sent to market. By so doing the lambs are kept fat all the time and are ready to be turned Into cash on short notice should the market take a sudden rise. - ^ , . - ^ . ^ - . Mfs^lSa|iEr :-/ !C POfTCM CfJtBAL CO..

In the meantime two additional tire companies dashed up, andcthese newly arrived fire fighters were carrying their respective lines toward the burning building, when little Arleae spied them. v "On, mamma," she cried, craning her neck out of the crowd, "here comes more firemen dragging their hosiery behind them!"—Lippincott's. SHE GOT * ' THREE CURED OF ECZEMA e W "When a child, I suffered eight years with eczema, I could not sleep at night, and had sores all over my chest We had doctors and none could do any good, until my mother saw the advertisement of the Cuticura Remedies in the paper. We used the Cutlcura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and they cured me of eczema. I also used them on my five children.'' Two of them had eczema very badly. VVfien my children had eczema, I was not worried at alL^as I knew the Cutlcura Remedies would do their work. They had sores all over their heads, their hair would fall foot, sad they would scratch all night No other member 'of! th* wh<W>ovi*e* Sj?4 ***- They had it on their heada, |Loe, and in back of the ears so that I thought'their ears would drop off. Z washed their heads and bodies with Cutlcura Soap and they are as clean as the driven snow. Cutlcura Soap and Ointment also cured my children of ringworm. I would not be without the Cuticura Remedies. They are wonderful." (Signed) Mrs. Violet Cole, 26 S. Red field St., Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 29, 1910.

Q A V K R L Y , SublUfcar « •,* 4UCB.IOAN AS TOLD BY THE DRUMMER Many and Varied Are the Experiences of Traveling "Knlghte of the Road." I bought a ticket last summer on one of the busiest steamboat lines running o u t o f New York, where the fiat was "No whole stateroom to any one passenger," and finding a suitcase already on the lower berth 1 placed my own obligingly in the upper. When I turnod in that night my companion was still absent, but along toward morning, when I finally awoke, there was a bloody Jaekknlfe on the floor and the window was open. Just what had happened we never found but. 1 told- my tale to the p"p g p l ' *nd gave him the "exhibits," but who my stateroom companion was, except for the name on the boat's register, I have never known, nor do I know what became of him. In a Connecticut town oae night I met a stranger in the hotel lavatory. "What have you lost, my friend?" I asked, as I saw him searching for something. "I'm looking for the house toothbrush," he answered without hesitancy. "I have found the house brush and comb, but where the is the toothbrush?" One day I was busy with a customer right up to train time, and asked an enterprising bell boy to run up to my room and pack up my belongings. "Put in everything in the room!" I called after him cautiously. When I opened my bag In another town I found he had obeyed me. The Bible belonging to the^ hotel was rolled up in my pajamas. One night I left a call to be awakened at seven the next morning. It was the only train leaving in the forenoon, and I simply had to take^Jt. Of course I ordered breakfast and I was down on the minute. When I reached the dining room another drummer WBB JUBt finishing my breakfast, and there was not a minute In which to cook another. Once 1 left my grip in a parcel room and got a lady's by mistake. Of all the Paris lingerie I ever saw! But I was able to swap for my own before she became aware of the error. In the prohibition state of Vermont I have had some amusing expert-^ ences. Stopping at a hotel for dinner, I asked for some vichy. They did not have it, so I changed it for ginger ale or apollinarls. "Nothing doing in soft drinks, boss," said the waiter placidly. "But if you want beer or whisky I think I can fix it!" In another prohibition hotel I asked quietly for whisky. It was served In place of tea, and 1 drank it from a teacup. i* y ' Boy 8couts at Fire Patrol. The boy scout business has been given a great boom in this state by the manliness of the boy scouts who, acted as patrols at Bangor when theiA* aid was needed during and after the fire, and incidentally the need of military drill In the/, schools Is emphasized.

Mfr. Smith is a Republican and represents the Third Michigan district. through A. H. UJarke, M.

The stakes at%a great area of California's richestl>il lands. They were granted to tjhe railroad, with a clause in the gnyit expressly excepting all mineral lafids save those containing coal" and iron. Most of these lands were patented to the grantee more than six years ago. The joker in the situation is a ape- -e+ftl—statute—ot—limitation^ slipped through congress in an act of March 3, 1 Sf>l, and perfected by another act of March 2, 189C. The effect of th«se acts, as construed by the United States supreme court, is absolutely to bar proceedings by the government to annul a patent to land granted railroads after six years from the issuance of the patent. Until tley are repealed, the government has not a chance on earth to get back ';he Laurier Invited to State Fair. Another big attraction for Detroit and the Michigan State Fair, in the person of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Premier of Canada, is being sought. Sever;"! days ago President T. E. Newton of the State Fair Society received some pretty good assurances from influential Canadians that Sir Wilfrid would very much like to visit Detroit ai d Michigan on the occasion of President Taft's visit here, if he cou.d possibly arrange his affairs to make the trip. Mr. Newton very promptly conferred with people across the bo"- Mer, with the result that a formal ii vitation was extended the nremie Months May Pass Ere Toll Is Known. Because of lack of telegraph facilities and slowness with which the officials of villages in outlying districts make reports to the government, it is not improbable months may pass before an accurate statement of the number of earthquake victims is known. Special dispatches indicate that the greatest loss of life was Dear the west coast in Colima and Jalisco, although no deaths are reported from Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco. Tonala and San Andres, near Colia, were almost destroyed, according i renorfs Vn—estimate—e*—thesor, to visit Detroit and the Sta Fair on the same date President T ik to be there, September 18 or 19 lands. f\ NEW PRIME MINISTER OF CHINA Prince Chlng la Known as Crafty, Evasive and Inefficient Official, Prince Ching, recently made prime minister of China, with a cabinet ministry, ostensibly to assist him, is one of China's newest, largest problems. The cabinet succeeds the ancient "grand council," which is abolished by the substitution. Prince Ching has been for years the most conspicuous and the most notorious figure in China. The story of his life is the story of China for the past 27 years—the story of the most disastrous experience In the history of the empire. From those disasters China is now emerging chastened and strengthened; her future, under new methods of government, Is rich with promise. Whether constitutional development can be guided satisfactorily by a decrepit old man, irresolute, wily, corrupt, and inefficient, is a question which may be-disputett. Slays Wife; Cut» Own Throat.

"You're going on the stage?" She nodded. "I've had a very big offer." 'v .'vY'";l • -' - Hr*:: ! > • ; .> —The judge leaned forward, and low voice, so that no one in the outer office might hear, he said: "Well, I'll give you twice as much If you refuse the engagement." She laughed ironically. "You mean that my father-in-law •will give it," 6he said, lightly. Then she went on: "You know it's no use your asking me to concede anything unless you agree to defend Howard." The lawyer shook his head. ; "I can't—it's impossible." ' "T4xen neither can I," she exclaimed, defiantly.- . ^ Judge Brewster could not refrain from smiling. Ttos^young woman had actuaHy enveigled^hlni into an argument, Almost mockingly^he-.said: ^"So you're determined to have "Yes," she said, simply. "But I don't argue criminal cases." "That's Just- it," she exclaimed, eagerly; "my husband is not a criminal. He is innocent. I don't want a lawyer who is always defending criminals. I want one who defends a man because he isn't a criminal." Judge Brewster waved his hand contemptuously. "Go and see some other lawyer— there are plenty of 'em." She leaned eagerly forward. Her face was flushed from excitement, her eyes flashed. "There'B only one Judge Brewster," she exclaimed. "He's the greatest lawyer in the world, and he's going to help us. He Is going to save Howard's life." The judge shitted uneasily on his chair. He didn't like this forceful, persistent young woman. Almost fretfully, he said: "You -always say that. Upon my word, I shall begin to believe it soon." "I shall say it again," she exclaimed, "and again every time I see you." The lawyer turned round. There was a comic look of despair in his face which would have amused his visitor had her errand not been so serious. "How often do you intend that shall be?" i "Every day," she replied, calmly. "1 shall say it and think it until—until 1J, comes true." Judge Brewster tried to feel angry, although inwardly he had hard work to keep from smiling. With pretended indignation, he said: "You mean that you intend to keep at me until I give way—through sheer exhaustion?" She nodded. * "That's it exactly," she said. The lawyer gasped. "Well, I must say you—you—you're very brave." Annie shook her head. "No, I'm not," she said, earnestly. T i n an awful coward, but I'm fighting for him. Howard Jeffries lifted me up when I was way down in the world. He gave me his name. He gave zne all he had, to make me a better woman, and I'm grateful. Why, even a-dog has gratitude, even a dog will mk the hand that feeds him. Why should 1 hesitate to express my gratitude? That's all Tm doing—Just paying him back a bit of the debt I owe >lm, and r m going to move Hear** and earth to bring his father around to my way of thinking. I've j o t you already-—'' j The Judge bounded to his feet XfeoU Ws «**• bare nttrAarlgnt? -Got me alreedyr beTtttalmid. -Wbat do ro* nean by tbatr * Annie returned his angry look with the utmost calm: She was playing her cards well, and she knew it. She had hit the old man in a sensitive place. Quietly, she went on: "Yett^eVeay- 'yea' in- a minute il it wasn't for Mr. Jeffries." ' "Oh, you think so, do you?" he gasped. "I'm sure of it," she replied, confidently. Boldly she went on: "You're afraid of him." Judge Brewster frowned. He did not like the Insinuation that he was afraid to do the right thing because it might interfere with his emoluments." Yet, secretly, he had to admit to himself that she had almost guessed right. Now he came to think of it, he had taken this stand in the matter because he knew that any other course would displease his* wealthy client After all, was he doing right? Was he acting in conformance with his professional oath? Was he not letting his material interests interfere with his duty? He was silent for several minutes, and then, in an absent-minded kind of way, he turned to his visitor. "So you think I'm afraid of him, do you?" "I'm sure of it," she said, quickly. "You liked my husband, and you'd Just love to rush in and fight for him. His father thinks he is guilty and, well—you don't like to disobey him. It's very natural. He's an influential man, a personal friend of the president and all that. You know on which side your bread is buttered, and—oh, died in—Sing Sing—and the rest are not worth—" "Yes, yes, I knew," replied the Judge, hastily. "I got your family history from Mr. Jeffries after your marriage Ir i« qipd away among ffte family archives." She smiled sadly. "It's a wonder you don't burn 'em up—my folks were not a very brilliant lot." Earnestly she went on: "But my father was all right, judge. Blood was thicker than water with him. He'd never have gone back on me in the way Howard's father has on him." The lawyer looked at her fixedly without -speaking. Their eyes met, and the silence continued until it became embarrassing. Judge Brewster shook his head. "It's too bad. I'm sorry for you, really, I—" Annie laughed, and he asked: "Why do you laugh?" "What's the use of crying?" she said. "Ha! Ha! It's almost a Joke. You're sorry/ my father-in-law is sorry, and I suppose my mother-in-law is shedding tears for me, too. You're all sorry and you're all wearing crape for us, but why can't some of you do something?" The lawyer said nothing. He still stared at her in a strange, absentminded kind of way, until finally she lost patience. Boldly she said: "Well, you sent for me. What do you want to see me about, Judge?" "I want to tell you that you mustn't come here again," he answered. to-morrow. Perhap3 you'll have better news for me." The lawyer waved her back to her seat with a commanding gesture she could not resist. There was determination around his mouth; in his face was an expression she had not seen there before. "Sit down again for a moment*," he said, sharply. "I want to ask you a question. How do you account for Howard's confessing to the shooting?" "I don't account for it," she replied, as she resumed her seat. "He says he didn't confess. I don't believe he did." "Cut three witnesses—" "Who are the witnesses?" she interrupted, contemptuously. "Policemen!" "That makes no difference," he said. "He made a confession and signed—" Annie leaned forward. What did this question mean? Was the Judge becoming interested after all? Her heart gave a leap as she answered eagerly: "He confessed against his will. 1 mean—he didn't know what he was doing at the time. I've had a talk with the physician who was called in —Dr. Bernstein. He says that Capt. Clinton is a hypnotist, that he can compel people to say what he wants them to say. Well, Howard is—what they call a subject—they told him he did it till he believed he did." "Oh, well,, what's the use—?" The judge quickly put out his hand and partly pushed her back in the chair. "Don't go," he said. Then he added: "Who told you he was a hypnotic once more. "You Take Too Much for Granted." it's very natural—you're looking out for your own interests—" Judge Brewster interrupted her impatiently. "Circumstances are against Howard. His father judges him guilty from his own confession. It's the conclusion I'm compelled to come to myself. Now, how do you propose to change that conclusion?" "You don't have to change it," she said, quietly. "You don't believe Howard guilty^" "I don't?" exclaimed the lawyer. "No, at the bottom of your heart. You knew Howard when he was a boy, and you know he is as incapable oi that crime as you are." "Mrs. Jeffries, how do you know that your husband did not kill Robert Underwood?" "I know It," she said, confidently. "Yes," persisted the judge, "but how do you know it?" Annie looked steadily at him, and then she said solemnly: "I know there's a God, but I can't tell you bow I know it, that's all! Howard didn't do i t I know he dida't" The lawyer smiled. "That's a very fair sample of feminine logic." "Well, it's all I have," she retored, with a toss of her bead. "And it's a mighty comfort,' too, because when you know a thing you know It and it makes you happy/' Judge Brewster laughed outright. "Feminine .deduction!'* be cried. "Think a thing;'believe it, and then you know it!" Looking up at her* he asked: "Haven't you any relatives to whoa you. oaa go?" flhe shook her head. . "No," she said, sadly. "My father "Anything else?" she exclaimed. The judge began to fuss with the papers on his desk, as he usually did when embarrassed for words. "Of course," he stammered, "you will be amply compensated." "Of course," she cried. Rising from her chair, she shrugged her shoulders, and said: "OH, well, this is not my lucky day. They wouldn't let me into the prison to see Howard to-day. Capt. Clinton doesn't like me. He has always tried to prevent my seeing Howard, but I'll see him to-morrow, captain or no captain. He can make up htfc mind to that!" The lawyer looked up at her. "Poor girl—you are having a hard time, aren't you?" . "Things have been better," she replied, with a tremor in her voice. "Howard and I were very happy when we first—" A sob choked her utterance, and she forced a laugh, saying: "Here, I must keep off that subject—" "Why do you laugh?" demanded the lawyer. Already hysterical, Annie had great difficulty in keeping back her tears. "Well, if I don't laugh," she fobbed, "I'll cry; and as I don't want to c r y - why—I Just laugh. It's got to be one or the other—see—?" ,He said nothing, and she continued: "Well, I guess I'll go home—home —that's the worst part of it—home—" She stopped short, she could go no further. Her bosom was heavldg, the hot tears were rolling down her cheeks. The old lawyer turned away his head so that she might not see the suspicious redness in his eyes. Moving toward the door, she turned around. "Wen, yon have your own troubles, Judge. HI go now, but I'll come ijgaln subject?" Her hopes revived Quickly she said: "Dr. Bernstein. Besides, Howard told me so himself. A friend of his at college used to make him «ut all sorts of capers." \ "A friend at college, eh? Do\you remember his name?" \ "Howard knows it." V "Um!" ejaculated the lawyer. He took up a pad and wrote a memorandum on it. Then aloud he said: "I'd like to have„a little talk with Dr. Bernstein. I think I'll ask him to come and see me. Let me see. His address is—" "342 Madison avenue," she exclaimed, eagerly. The lawyer jotted the address down, and then he looked up. "So you think I'm afraid of Mr. Jeffries, do you?" x - She smiled. "Oh, no, not really afraid," she answered, "but just—scared. I didn't mean—" Judge Brewster was enjoying the situation hugely. He had quite made up his mind what to do, but he liked to quiz this bold young woman who had not been afraid to show him where his duty lay. Striving to keep a serious face, he said: "Oh, yes, you did, and I want you to^mderstand I'm not afraid of any man. AS-tp^ allowing my personal interests to interfere with my duty—" Annie took alarm-. \ S h e was really afraid she had offendecTnim. "Oh, I didn't say that, dluM2^ she exclaimed* timidly. " \ ^ Judge Brewster forced his face into a frown. "You said I knew on which side my bread was buttered!" "Did I?" she exclaimed in consternation. "You say a great many things, Mrs, Jeffries," said the lawyer solemnly. "Of course, I realize how deeply you feel, and I make excuses for you. But I'm not afraid. Please understand that—" He rapped the table with his eyeglasses at, if he were very much offended indeed. "Of course not," she said apologetically. "If you were you wouldn't even tee tic—let clone talk to me—and— asd-—" Pointing to the pi^ce of paper he held in his hand, she added: "And—" t "And what?" demanded the judge, amused. sHalf hysterical, now laughing, now crying, she went on: "And—and take the names and addresses of witnesses for the defense —and—think out how you're going to defend Howard—and—and all that—" The lawyer looked at her and laughed. "So you think I'm going to help Howard?" he said. "You take too much for granted." *> (TO BE CONTINUED.) Bee Culture In Switzerland. The flora of Switzerland possesses qualities that produce delicious honey, and thousands of colonies of bees may be seen in the country, being utilized by the people to increase the food sup ply and commercial products; in fact the productldn of honey and wax con* stitutes an Industry of considerable Importance to the confederation, at is shown by statistics furnished by the Swiss Society of Aplcuftmiets, RARE RELIC Of CIVIL WAR Picture of Sack of Flour Which Was Used to Raise the Sum of $1,000,000. Sycamore, 111.—Of all the war-time pictures, probably there are few rarer pictures than the accompanying print which haa beeu preserved by S. T. Armstrong of this place. The sack of flour bhown on the shoulder of the man in the picture was used to raise more than a million dollars for the famous sanitary commission, organized by Dr. Henry W. Bellows, Boston, during the last years of the Civil war. The object of the commission was to relieve suffering among Union soldiers of the northern army. The scheme to raise funds for the commission by selling and reselling a Million Dollar Sack of rlour. sack of flour originally worth $15 was the outcome of an election bet in Austin, Nev. This town was holding an election to decide the matter as to whether it would incorporate. On one side of the question was a man named Grldley, shown in the picture, and on the other was one Herrick. Gridiey agreed that If the election went against him, he would carry on his shoalder a sack of flour and keep step to the tune of "Old John Brown," played by a fife and drum baud trailing after him, the line of march being from one aide of-4he_tpwn to the other. Herrick agreed to do the same thing if the question was decided contrary to his hopes, only the band was to play "Dixie." There was a deal of war time feeling mixed up in the matter. Oridley's side lost out and so there was a time set for him to pay his electoin bet. After he had delivered the goods, Gridiey at once offered to buy the flour back for $25 and Herrick at once took him up. At this point Mr. Armstrong, who at that time was a citizen of the place, offered to give $30 for the trophy, falling in with Herrick's prop*- osition to turn the money over to the fund of the United States Sanitary commission. This was the start of the movement that ultimately ended in swelling the charitable fund to $1,- 000,000 throughout the country. WHERE INDIANS MADE PEACE Unitarian Church at Taunton, Mais., Marks Scene of an Early Treaty With Redskins. Taunton, Mass.—Among the religious edifices of Taunton, none Is more Important In Its historical associations than the Unitarian church, whose nite marks the scene of the settlers' council with King Philip, immediately after that great warrior had been proclaimed sachem of* the Indian tribes of Massachusetts in 1662.

MAK A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw Pills will be sent free to anyone on request. Address Professor Munyon, 53d & Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you ara in need of medical advice, do not fail to write Professor Munyon. Your communication will be treated in strict confidence, and your case will be diagnosed as carefully as though you had a personal inter* view. Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlika all other laxatives or cathartic*. They coax the liver into activity by gentle methods. They do not scour, they do not gripe, they do not weaken, but they do start all the secretions of the liver and Btomach in a way that soon puts these organs in a healthy condition and corrects constipation. In my opinion constipation is responsible for most ailments. There are 26 feet of human bowels, which is really a sewer pipe. When this pipe becomes clogged the whole system becomes poisoned, causing biliousness, indigestion and impure blood, which often produce rheumatism and kidney ailments. No woman who suffers with constipation or any liver ailment can expect to hare a clear complexion cr enjoy good health. If I had my way I would prohibit the sale of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are now being sold for the reason that they soon destroy the lining of the stomach, setting up serious forms of indigestion, and BO paralyze the bowels that they refuse to act unless forced by strong purgatives. Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonio to the Btomach, liver and nerves. They invigorate instead of weaken; they enrich the blood instead of. impoverish it; they enable the stomach to get all the nourishment from food that is put into it. These pills contain no calomel, no dope; they are soothing, healing and stimulating. They school the bowels to act without physic. Regular size bottle, containing 45 pills, 25 cents.

The deer season opens October 15 and closes November 30. The embargo is removed from quail, the season running October 15 to November 30, the same as partridge. Ten quail and six partridges only may be taken in one day, and but 50 in one calander year. The spring duck shooting season is from March 2 to April 10. The fish laws are materially unchanged. The North Lake band concert given here Saturday evening was made possible by the Pinokney business men. The night being a pleasant one, the town was crowded with people, making one think that "Home-Coming" was in full swing. Such a crowd should have made the streets resound with applause, bat for Rome reason we regret to say, the proper spirit s e e m e d lacking. Why not have a band of pur own? Surely if North Lake can support a band there is no reason why Pinckney cannot A concert such as the one last Saturday evening not only breaks the monotony of our every day lives, but also brings trade to town.

Jarrett of Fort Wayne married Jennie Newsum he told her one evening after dinner that he had sohved the whole question of the advanced price of living, and when she leaned breathlessly forward he imparted the somewhat worn aphorism that it is cheaper to move than to pay rent. Mrs. Jarrett laughed and took It -aa a joke, because the next day was the one fixed for the visit of the landlord. However, she found that Mr. Jarrett was ha earnest, because within the naxt week or so «he had her first experience with an angry rent gatherer, papers of eviction and a visit from the sheriff. After that Mr. Jarrett put hrs theory Into continuous practice, and In the nazt seven years the Jarretts crated their household goods no ieec than *• U s e s ; l* moves being only two jumps ahead of the officer* of the law. Finally Mrs. Jarrett found that her love had been broken all to piece* with to much moving, a* she had not always had time to crate It properly. When she sued for divoroe she declared that her husband bad failed to provide a home for her, and Mr. Jarrett answered that he had, but the judge sided with the plaintiff. Had to Nurse the Chickens. WHEN the wife of Herman Roemer f of Denver left him he had his share of troubles. He had to turn in and do the cooking, and the washing, and, to complete the disaster, some pet chickens got sick, and there Herman was left all alone with them on his hands. He inserted "personal" after "personal" in the columns of the daily paper beseeching Pauline to come back: to her desolate home, hut not even the thought of the suffering fowls moved her fickle heart Finally, we are glad to relate, Herman nursed them back to health, and then ho sued for divorte, ••wed Runaway: Husband In Sheet.

HE other day a divorce was granted in Pittsburg that ended a marriage of 30 ytfarsT'during all of which time the man and woman had been separated on account of a stubborn whim of the bride. When Mary Torrence and John Speer were married Mary corrected the minister and declared that she was not willing to include the word "obey" in the marriage service. After the oeremony the pair proceeded to their home, and there the bridegroom began to reason the matter out Then Mrs. Speer said she considered the word "obey" foolish, as she had no Intention of doing any such thing. The bridegroom asserted his right to bo considered the head of the house, and In short a fine, lively quarrel started on the question of who should wear the trousers. Finally the newly made husband seized his hat and said angrily that ha would never return to his home until his wife signified her willingness to submit. As time went on the' resolution of both hardened, and the marriage halted where It began at the word "obey" In the marriage service. Husband Who Would Not Smite. MRS. John Fohlman of Des Moines secured a divorce because she had that which men usually declare a woman does not possess—a sense of humor. ' Besides, she had a sensitive disposition, so that when she tried to regale the family dinner, table with funny stories and witticisms, and her husband met her efforts with only cold stares, she was so deeply wounded that she charged cruelty in her petition. One time, she related, when the family was having a fine time telling Jokes and commenting humorously upon the news of the day, her husband acted to morosely that one of the children asked him if he was not feeling well, whereupon he responded: vi hate to see a sot of fools."

Bet mitted that he might be In his second childhood, but denied the same right to his wife that he had to his mother, to suffer correction in such a humiliating way. Minnie admitted his allegations, but declared that Zolbe had grossly deceived her, as before marriage he bad told her he was wealthy, and when she found out the falsity of this statement she felt that he had entrapped her into marriage so that he might have some one to Took after him, and ahe was merely doing this. The Silent Husband. SOON after their marriage, Frank Beekman and his wife of Aabury Park had a tiff, and Mrs. Beekman angrily and tearfully said: "I don't want you ever to speak to me again." "All riKbt I won't," Bhouted Beekman, seizing his hat and making for the door^ By night Mrs. Beekman had forgotten about the quarrel, and was ready to tell her husband the news of the day when be returned from work in the evening. But Beekman came in, returned no answers to her questions, ate his supper and went to bed without speaking. His wife thought he was suffering from a spell of sulkiness and tried to coax him out of it by persuasion, tears and finally anger. But from that day for 4 years Beekman never spoke a word at home. Mrs. Beekman tried burning the soup and putting salt in his coffee, in the hope that his anger would drive him to speech, but Beekman never went furthen than shaking bis head. Once— it was a red letter day for Mrs. Beekman— he moved his lips as if about to say something, but evidently changed his mind, and closed them firmly again. Adhering to his policy of silence, Beekman interposed no answer to his wife's suit for divorce. I Romance Versus Commuting, F THE time-tables had been different, if Dermot Holden's hours at work had been shorter, if Delawanna, N. J., had b^en,nearer to New York, Isabelle Holden is sure that the dream of her married life would never have been shattered. For the Irksomeness of arising at 4 a. m. to start her husband's breakfast, of blacking his shoes at night so that he would not be late in starting for his train, of seeing that he really arose when the alarm clock gave its warning, wore all the romance out of her life. "The wife who-etayj- at home," she said, "commutes just as much as the husband." The rush to the train and the rush home made Dermot nervous and irritable, and he was to tired at night to take" her out any place or to be any company to her. The pair owned a house at Delawanna, they were not able to dispose of it, and until they did they could not move into the city, so each wearied of the Joys of a commuter's life, and a divorce suit was filed. He Impersonated Satan. ANDREW BLAES of Chicago became much interested in hypnotism and occult science several years ago, and insisted upon performing many of his experiments at home, much to the discomfort of his wife. He burned incense, which made her sick, and on one occasion, after TsbTe had retired, she heard such strange noises proceeding from the kitchen that she arose, tip-toed to the door and peeped In. What was her horror at finding her husband dressed In red to represent Satanic Majesty, burning red fire and screeching like a fiend. ' When he caught sight of the frightened face of his wife he started toward her, and as she fled he followed. He chased her all over the house, and each time he caught her he tore a piece out of her night dress, until she was almost nude. He also, on another occasion, erected a throne in the bedroom, and, dressed as the devil, he seated himself upon it and made her bow down and worship him. SOME 0000 BASEBALL FACTS Work of National, and American League* Since Forming into Present Circuit*—Pittsburg Best. Since the National league has been composed of its present circuit, which was formed in 1900, its teams have played 6,462 games, these not including ties or protested games thrown out. The American league's present circuit began with the season of 1903, and its clubs have played 4,995 games. Every baseball follower has a pretty clear idea of what the clubs of the big leagues do against one another year by year, but his mind does not run back to the work of the different teams in the combined years. He knows that Pittsburg, New York and Chicago have made most of the running in the National league from 1900 ©B—1*04'--wae-the- year tn- which the National league was cut from 12 to 8 cities—but he has practically no conception of how many each of these three has won in the entire 11 years. The figures show that the American league clubs have been more evenly matched in strength than those of the National. There have been individual years In which there was little to choose from in this respect, but taking the life of each league as a whole and there is much less difference between the greatest and smallest percentage of the first and last club In the Amen can than in the National. The highest percentage for the eight combined years in the American league is .5TS and the lowest .433, a difference of 145 points; in the National league the greatest percentage is .622 and fee smallest .414, a difference of 208 points. The Pittsburg have the highest percentage in the National league—.622 for the total winnings of 11 years. The order of the others is as follows: Chicago, .604; New York, .569; Cincinnati, .480; Philadelphia/ .471; Brooklyn. .441; St. Louis, .414; Boston, .390. Only three of the eight clubs have won more than half of their total games—New York, Chicago and Pittsburg. The number of contests won by each club is as follows: Pittsburgh 996; Chicago, 9€4; New York, 918; Philadelphia, 787; Cincinnati, 781; Brooklyn, 717; St. Louis, 651; Boston, 628. The American league percentages in their order are as follows: Athletics, .578; Chicago, .541; Detroit, .641, -Cleveland, .634; New Vork, .611; Boston, .610; St. Louis, .433;. Washington, .365. The Washington! have the lowest percentage of victories in either league, but-there-Is- less difference between the lowest and highest In this league for the reason that the successful teams have not won as often as the stronger teams in the National.

He is too young to play on the school team, but Is ambitious to become a manager, a position which Is often obtained through the water boy route. Hence his decision to preside at the pail. it is looked upon as one of the hardest. The first baseman nowadays has to be a fast fielder as well as the second or third baseman.

Once Representative William Alden Smith, now a United Sjaigs, senajor, tried his level best in the house debate on Panama to make Congressman Dinsmore of Arkansas supply a stock of good Republican campaign material, just as Blaine baited Ben Hill in the old days. Dinsmore was talking about the hasty recognition of the independence of Panama by the United States and drew a comparison between that action and the' attempts of this government to keep foreign nations from recognizing the confederacy in 1861. The Arkansas member got warmed up and began to talk about the power of the confederacy. He made the statement that its soldiers had thrashed the Union army In the first six battles of the war. He got still warmer as he went on, and suddenly Smith of Michigan sprung the question, "Are you defending the rights Of the states to secede?" Dinsmore came to himself like a flash. "Ah, Brother Smith," he said, "how you would love to lead me into the pit! I have an abiding affection for you, but neither my feet nor my tongue shall go astray for the benefit of the Republican party." Everybody knows what a stickler the senate is for courtesy. Courtesy has a seat at every desk. When one senator refers to another, whether he be a political foe or a politcal friend, it is always as the "distinguished gentleman from Maryland," or from Maine or another state, as the case may be. Senator Tillman said a fairly.good thing one day. It was a side remark, but it reached the gallery and was enjoyed by the auditors, w>o had become a bit weary of resisting the Impulse to salaam every time a senator rose and handed a few verbal flowers to a col>eague.

Mr. Wilson did not say that he was a nayaeed. He has the Scotch Presbyterian habit of sticking to the truth even hx his humor. It war rumored once that in order to evade the laws of this country certain great companies were planning to take out corporation papers abroad. The matter was called to the attention of the agricultural member of Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet. His comment was this: "We have laws; we have petit Junes; we have grand juries; we have a ibpiftment of justice; we have courts, and we have penitentiaries," Then Mr. Wilson smiled Just a.little grimly and refused to discuss the4ubject further. He couldn't nave said anything that would have added one iota to his meaning/and he knew it. There is no waste of words in the conversation, of James Wilson. Secretary Wilson unquestionably would be a success as a managing editor of a great newspaper. He knows news.

When a newspaper man goes to see the secretary in Washington he knows that if he gets one word beyond the ordinary interchange of "pleasant day" courtesies he is going to get something worth publishing. Mr. Wilson having been in office for several years and being a keen student, has discovered that certain things are published and certain things are not published. He has learned how to save himself time and words. In the parlance of the press, Mr, Wilson is "good copy." — Congress appropriated some money to erect a new building for the department of agriculture. Every congress wishes to make a' record for economy. So it was that the amount appropriated was not sufficient to put up a structure that would meet the future demands of a rapidly growing branch of the government. The secretary of agriculture knew it, and so. with a certain shrewdness that was all for the good of the country and the service, he saw to it that the money was put into two comparatively small structures. The two taken together will be big enough for present uses, but in order that they shall form a complete and artistic whole it will be necessary one day to join them, and the connecting link will be a big building in Itself. The argument for more room is apparent and convincing. The agricultural department will get more building money from congress, and get it scon, and the anger that was aroused at first by the secretary's shrewdness will be turned to laughter and to something much like admiration. The Iowa farmer's successors in | office will have to thank him for removing a mountain of trouble from their paths. As government department rank, thn on? leveled to the promoMcn of asricylt'iri! stands n?xt to the foot of the Kst. This U on papor only. Its importance to the country is so great that men say Its^roper place is near the head of things governmental. The passage of the packing-house inspection and the pure food laws have increased the working duties of Mr. Wilson's department immensely. , Secretary Wilson sheds trouble. He is a good deal of an optimist, and when difficulties arose over cotton crop matters, and there seemed imminent danger that a scandal would result, there was no signs of worry on the secretary's part. President Roosevelt felt implicit confidence In the cabinet official wbo had come to. him as a heritage from the McKinley administration, and there is no doubt whatever that he expressed his confidence personally. In one respect the secretary of agriculture holds himself to be particularly fortunate. Possibly he doesn't consider it to be really a matter of good fortune except at such times as he seos the trouble of his fellow cabinet officials who are more than suspected of having presidential ambitions. > Presidential politics personally do not worry James Wilson. T h « constitution of the United" States keeps such worry from him, for the secretary waa born on the1 slopes of th«- Ayshire Hills In Bonnie Scotland, and.oaman fron- , over the water can sit In the chief chaiPoTnljo nation.

GOOD.) giatoflcaily, »heep scab is one of the oldest diseases of sheep, but its cause was not discovered until about the middle of the nineteenth century (1636), when the agent producing; the disease was found to be a very small mite. This mite Is light gray In color and the female is one-fortieth and the male one-sixtieth of an inch in length. In general appearance the mite resembles a tiny spider. It has four pairs of lega, the last being, very .N. small, and the third pair having long thread-like appendages which are longer in the female than in the male. The mite crawls very slowly, showing that its power of locomotion is weak. A female will lay from ten to twenty eggs during her lifetime. These eggs are so small that they cannot be distinguished with the naked eye. The period of incubation is from four to ten days, depending mainly upon temperature. Gerlach, a noted authority, estimates the descendants of a single female to be 1,000,000 females and 500,000 males at the end of 90 days. He estimates the average number of eggs from a single female to be 15, ten of which hatch females and five males, and allows 15 days for each generation. The first symptom thai; attracts one's attention to the affected animal is its rubbing certain parts of its back, aides or tail against some object, or biting at these parts, as the bites of P_r°PJr treatment for sheep afflicted with the scab. The federal government has done a great work in reducing the number of scabby sheep in thia country, but In spite of its efforts there are plenty of them in the United States today, a condition of affairs not to be wondered at when we consider the gigantic task of stamping out such a communicable disease in as large a country as ours. There are states, however, where no scab exists, the farmers and the state authorities having aided the federal to eradicate it. EXCELLENCE OF CLOVER FEEDS While Most Farmers Recognize That Red Clover Is Admirable for Swine Few Under* stand How to Utilize. Female Scab Mite. the mite cause Intense Itching. The Irritation is much more noticeable when tfee sheep are warmed up by driving than wbsu they remain quieT Infection generally begins on some portion of the side or back, and is «BuaUy confined to these parts of the body. The infected spot first consists of a moist, yellowish, dandruff-like substance, often no larger than a pinhead, and unless careful examination be made, may easily escape detection. If this place is scratched, the 6heep will respond by a nibbling-llke motion of the mouth. Large patches are formed either by small infected spots located on different parts of ,the back growing and uniting, or by the gradual enlargement of a single spot. In obtaining their food, the parasites in these patches irritate the skin of the sheep to such an extent as to cause the secretion of a large amount of serum which, in drying, first takes on the form of dandruff, and upon extended irritation the dandruff is replaced by thick scabs. Where .the scabB first form, the wool seems to be more firmly attached to the skin than before infection, and Btanda •'out in tufts, giving the fleece an uneven appearance. In time, however, being deprived of nutrition, the wool loosens and drops from the skin; the sheep loses flesh and presents, on the whole, a \ very uncanny appearance; and eventually, if untreated, dies. Proper treatment will, however, destroy the scab mite and renew the growth of the wool. Popping In a reliable dip is the (By W A L T E R B. LEUTZ.) Clover is the greatest pasture for hogs—provided it is not allowed to make pigs thrive at top notch. / The clover blossom is a very pretty flower but it is about as much oat of place in the hog pasture as a rose bush in the com field. While most farmers recognize that red clover is an admirable food for swine, few of them, comparatively, understand how to utilize a clover pasture for hogs. We make this assertion in view of the fact that clover is, in many instances, allowed to blossom in the field devoted to hog-graztag. If the reader will bear in mind for s, moment that the purpose of.-every plant is to flower and ""go to seed" he will understand that when the flower and the seed have formed in succession, the season's .work of the plant is practically over and plant growth gives place to plant ripening, and decay. "Soon ripe soon rotten" is an old saying and it indicates what we have In m i n d In thta dlRfngaian What we are after in pasturing hogs on clover is feed not posieB. If the clover plants are allowed to ripen the food-producing capacity of the plant Is reduced. If, on the other hand, the plants can be prevented from blossoming to any great degree, tfcey keep trying to blossom right along, provided sufficient rains descend and in doing so the hogs are fed. in districts where clover luxuriates, and we find such places In many parts of the country, swine of the right age may be pastured upon this green food from about June right up to__e_a_rly fall, should timely rains maintain a steady growth of the clover plant. Culture of Currants. For varieties the President Wilder Is probably the best liked as it clings to the bushes the longest. The Cherry, Fay's Prolific and Perfection are also very good varieties. The soil for_. currants should be very well prepared and enriched. Practice deep plowing before planting the currants and then put them 6x4 feet. Practice shallow cultivation and mulch if need be.- Put in a cover crop the first of July such as buckwheat. This can he cultivated into the soil In the spring, thus keeping up the amount of humus in the soil. As one and two year old wood produces the best crops, care should be taken to see that no wood is over two years old. Prune out old wood as soon as berries are picked out. HIS & waauR P.

And as the days kept fair and nice And winter grew more distant He kept predicting snow and ice For he is quite consistent. When April days came laughing in He said: "I'll bet my gizzard This month will bring, BB sure as sin, A record-breakin' blizzard."

The real joy, however, is after the hand has been played, when you spread out the cards and hold a post mortem, showing the partner exactly how he or she made a grievous mistake each time he or she trumped or followed suit. A very popular parlor game is called Courtship. Two people only play^the game. The hands are not played; -they-are held—sometimes for a whole evening.

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES CUTICURA REMEDIES "I wish to let you know of a couple of recent cures which I have made by the use of the Cutlcura Remedies. Last August, Mr. of this city came to my office, troubled with a severe skin eruption. It was dermatitis in its worst form. It started with a slight eruption and would affect most parts of his body, thighs, elbows, chest, back and abdomen—and would terminate in little pustules. The itching and burning was dreadful and he would almost tear his skin apart, trying to get relief. I recommended all the various' treatments I could think of and he spent about fifteen dollars on prescriptions, but nothing seemed to help him. "In the meantime m y wife, who was continually suffering with a slight skin trouble and who had been trying different prescriptions and methods with my assistance, told me she was going to get some of the Cutlcura Remedies and give them a fair trial. But as I did not know much about Cuticura at that time I .was doubtful whether it would help her. Her skin would thicken, break and bleed, especially on the fingers, wrists and arms. I could do nothing to relieve her permanently. When she first applied the warm baths—of—Cutlcura POOR RETURN FOR CHIVALRY Soap and applications of Cuticura Ointment she saw a decided improvement and In a few days she was com* pletely curedr _ ^ ~~ "I lost no time In recommending the Cutlcura Remedies to Mr. , and this was two months ago.

Chivalrous Mr. Jones purposely dropped a fifty-cent piece at the foot of a poorly dressed woman who passed through the Subway turnstile loudly lamenting' that the ticket agent had cheated her out of half a dollar, then he picked the money up and gave it to her. "Excuse me, madame," said Mr. Jones-, "i think you dropped this." "Oh, no," she said, "it can> be mine. Perhaps you dropped it, yourself." "Oh, no," said Mr. Jones. "It-is yours, I am sure. I picked it up Just as you passed." She took the money, and hurried after another man who had pas Bed at the time the money dropped.' "Excuse me, sir," she said, "I think you lost this."

Maternal Instinct '•Children that yell like that ought either to be gagged or kept at home," remarked the irascible gentleman with the white beard to the bus conductor. "And faces like the one wot you're scarin' people with," chipped in the mother of the noisy infant, "oughter be made into door knockers or sent ter the chamber o' 'orrors." The gentleman with the patriarchal face fungus took a brick red complexion. "I know it's awkward at times"— he commenced. "It's more'n awkward: it's nothin' short o' 'orrible," snapped the lady, as she once more glanced at the sorry elderly man's set of features. When the rest of the passengers tittered audibly the old gentleman came to the conclusion that it behooved him to speak to the point "I mean the child"— he tried once more. "And you didn't mean it no good," returned the lady, "else you wouldn't a looked at it."—London Ideas. </> CD cd 00 e> 00 •a- S3 1 .9.

A wife* is a decided addition to the demands upon one's purse. In that sense, however sensible and managing she may be, she is expensive. But everything worth having has its price of one sort or another, and there are some things which cost much without which life is hardly woHlTTlvteg. Said Thiers: "Most men contemplate making some self denial when they marry. They think they will give up Sttch~and such expensive pleasures. Later on, when they discover that they cannot do so, and at the same time they lack the means to Indulge, they complain that it is the extravagance of their wives which causes the inconvenience." Which wise saying Is applicable to men in other countries besides that of Prance.—New York American. Reiterated. Edmund Kean was playing in "Richard HI.," and the part of Catesby had to be taken by a low comedian, who sauntered on to the stage at the wrong moment and uttered the famous words, "My lord, the Duke of Buckingham is taken," in the wrong place. Edmund clinched his fists in rage, but otherwise took no notice of the remark. Later the comedian repeated the words in the right place, and when the king expressed surprise at the news Catesby folded bis arms, walked boldly down the stage and remarked to the great actor in loud tones: "I told you so before, Mr. Kean, but you wouldn't believe me."

One of the attaches of the American embassy at London tells a story wherein Michael Joseph Barry, the poet, who was appointed a police magistrate in Dublin, was the principal figure. There was brought before him an Irish American charged with suspicious conduct The officer making the arrest stated, among other things, that the culprit was wearing a "Republican hat" "Does your honor know what that means?" was the inquiry put to the court by the accused's lawyer.

Pinckney, Mich. and to the citizens of Pinckney and vicinity in general that from all present indications the aproaching anniversary of the Old oys and Girls Association will eclipse any point of attendance and all round attractions any meeting heretofore held. I am getting responses to my letters gent out all over the country, which clearly indicates that this forecast is well founded. The other day in old Richmond, Va., 1 had the pleasure of meeting our former towns-soy, Phil Kelly, now a prosperous merchant of Richmond, and can assure you that I was proud to go through his big establishment. He promised faithfully to be with us in August, and the word of a "Southener" is, you know, as good as his bond. I trust that the local committees are actively taking bold of the preparatory work, and that everything will be properly arranged. Ton may depend upon me for the heartiest co-operation which can be offered from this end the line. The thing to do is to boost this whole proposition to a finish that we may all feel a just pride in its success. Very truly yours, E. L.

This is the most thrilling ot all the worlds thrillers.

This is the only act of genuine character that has been in this country. It is a French importation.

It is said that nursing is one of the most inviting fields of human service and that its financial return surpases any other occupation oped to women, ltdevelopes all the native graces of woman* hood and leads the way to positions of trust and influence. The demand for more nurses is a wide world call. The Philadelphia school for nurses located in Philadelphia, Pa., has undertaken to meet this demand by offering free scholarships to young women in all parts of the country. Room, board, laundering, incidental expenses, special financial assistance and railroad fare home cm ^completion of the course, are provided. Length of couise—two years. Also a special short course and a home course for those who must quickly prepare for self support.

"Now, my dear young woman," .said iudge Brewster, when the astonished head clerk had withdrawn, "if we are going to get your husband free we must get to work, and you must help me." His visitor looked up eagerly. "I'll do anything in my power," she said quickly. "What can I do?" "Well—first of all," said the lawyer with some hesitation, "I want you to see a certain lady and to be exceedingly nice to her/' "Lady?" echoed Annies surprised. "What lady?" - "Mrs. Howard Jeffries, Sr.," he replied slowly._ "Howard's stepmother!" she ejaculated. A clerk entered and handed his employer a card.

Now, you must conciliate her. She may be of great use to us." Annie's face expressed considerable doubt "Perhaps so," she said, "but the door was slammed in my face when I called to see her;" "That's nothing," answered the judge. "She probably knows nothing about It In any case, please remember that she is my client—" * She bowed her head and murmured obediently: "I'll remember." The door of the office opened and Alicia entered. She stopped short on seeing who was there, and an awkward pause followed. Judge Brewster introduced them.

Ten minutes later you walked out to your carriage and were driven away." "I knew nothing of this—believe me," murmured Alicia apologetically. "It's what I got just the same," said the other dryly. Quickly she went on: "But I'm not complaining, understand —I'm not complaining. Only I did think that at such a time one woman might have held out a helping hand to another." Alicia held up her hand protestingly. "How could I?" she exclaimed. "Now, be reasonable. You are held responsible for Howard's present position.". "Yes—by the police," retorted Annie grimly, "and by a couple of yellow journals. I didn't think you'd believe all the gossip and scandal that's been printed about me. xl dida't believe what waa said about you." Alicia started and changed color. "What do you mean?" sho exclaimed haughtily. "What was said about me?" "Well, it has been said that you married old Jeffries for his money and his social position." "'Old Jeffries!*" protested Alicia indignantly. "Have you no respect for your husband's father?" ' "Not a particle," answered the other coolly, "and I never will have till he acts like a father. I only had one Interview with him and it finished him with me for all time. He ain't a father—he's a fish." "A fish!" exclaimed Alicia, scandalized at such lese ma J est e-. Annie went on recklessly: "Yes—a cold-blooded—" "But surely," interrupted Alicia, you respect his position—his—" 'm; I respect a man beoausehe behaves like a man, not because he lives in a marble palace on Riverside drive." Alicia looked pained. This ' girl was certainly Impossible. "But surely," she said, "you realized that when you married Howard you—you made a mistake—to say the least?" "Yes, that part of it has been made pretty plain. It was a mistake—his mistake—my mistake. But now it's done and it can't be undone. I don't see why you can't take it as it is and —and—" She stopped short and Alicia completed the sentence for her: "—and welcome you into our family—" "Welcomo me? No, ma'am. I'm not welcome and nothing you or your set could say would ever make me believe that I was welcome. All I ask Is that Howard's father do his duty by his son." "I do not think—pardon my saying so," interrupted Alicia stiffly, "that you are quite in a position to judge of what constitutes Mr. Jeffries' duty to his Bon." "Perhaps < not. I only know what I would do—what my father would have done—what any one would do if they had a spark of humanity in them. But they do say that after three generations of society life red blood turns into blue." Alicia turned to look out of the window. Her face still averted she said: ! "What is there to do> Howard has acknowledged his guilt What sacflees we may make will be thrown away." Annie eyed her companion with contempt Her voice quivering with Indignation, she burst out: "What is there to do! Try and save him, of course. Must we sit and do nothing because things look black? Ah! I wasn't brought up that way* No, ma'am, I'm going to make a fight!" ."It's useless," murmured Alicia, shaking her head. "Judge Brewster doesn't think so," replied the other calmly. The banker's wife gave a start of surprise. Quickly she demanded: "You moan that Judge Brewster has encouraged you to—to—" "He's done mora tiian encourage me —God bless him!—he's going to take up the case.4* Alicia was so thunderstruck that for a moment she could find ho answer, "What!" she exclaimed, "without consulting Mr. Jeffries?" , She put her handkerchief to her face to conceal her agitation. Could it be possible that the judge was going to act, after all, in defiance of her husband's wishes? If that were true, what would become of her? Concealment would be no longer possible. Discovery of her clandestine visit to Underwood's apartment that fatal night musreome Howard might still be the murderer, Underwood might not have committed suicide, but her visit to his rooms at midnight would become known.

"HsbeUevesta Howard, and he's going to him." Alicia trjfing to mipd, In The pa, ce.enc :ed at her anxiously as 1! d what might be in her really'She went on: aay there was a quarrel about you, that you and Mr. Underwood were too friendly. They implied that Howard was jealous. Is this true?" \ "It's all talk," cried Annie indignantly—" nothing but Bcandal—lies! Howard never had a jealous thought of me—and as for me—why—I've always worshiped the ground he walked on. Didn't he sacrifice eyerything for my sake? Didn't he quarrel with his father for me? Didn't he marry me? Didn't he try to educate and make a lady of me? My God!—do you sup pose I'd give a man like that cause for jealousy? What do the newspapers care? They print cruel statements that cut into a woman** heart, without giving it a thought, without knowing or caring whether it's true or not, as long as it interests and amuses their readers. You—you don't really believe I'm the cause of his misfortunes, do you?" Alicia shook her head as Bhe an-j swered kindly: "No, I don't. Believe me, I don't You were right when you said that at such a time as this one woman should stand by another. I'm going to stand by you. Let me be your friend, let me help you." Extending her hand, she said: "Will you?" Annie grasped the proffered hand. It was the first that had been held out to her in her present trouble. A lump rose In her throat. Much affected, she said: "It's the first kind word that—" She stopped and looked closely for a moment at Alicia. Then she went on: "It's the queerest thing, Mrs. Jeffries, but it keeps coming into my mind. Howard told me that while he was at Underwood's that dreadful night he thought he heard your voice. It must have been a dream, of course, yet he thought he was sure of i t Your voice—that's queer, isn't it? Why—what's the matter?" Alicia had grown deathly pale and staggered against a chair. Annie ran to her aid, thinking she was ill. "It's nothing — nothing!" stammered Alicia, recovering herself. Fearing she had said something to hurt her feelings, Annie said sympathetically: "I haven't said anything—anything out of the way—have I? If I have I'm sorry—awfully sorry. I'm afraid—I— I've been very rude and you've been so kind!" /'No, no!" interrupted Alicia quickly. "You've said nothing—done nothing— you've had a great deal to bear —a great deal to bear. I understand that perfectly." Taking her companion's hand in hers, she went on: "Tell me, what do they say about the woman who went to see Robert Underwood the night of the tragedy?" "The police can't find her—we don't know who she Is."1 Confidently she went on: "But Judge Brewster will find her. We have a dozen detectives searching for her. Capt. Clinton accused me of being the woman—you know he doesn't like me." The banker's wife was far too busy thinking of the number of detectives employed to find the missing witness to pqy attention to the concluding sentence. Anxiously she demanded: "Supposing the woman is found, what can she prove? What difference will it make?" "All the difference in the world," replied Annie. "She is a most important witness," Firmly she went on: "She must be found. If she didn't shoot Robert Underwood, she knows who did." "But how can she know ?" ^argued Alicia. "Howard confessed that be did it himself. If he had not confessed it would be different" "He did not cenfess," replied the other calmly. "Mrs. Jeffries—he never confessed. If he did, he didn't know what he was saying." Alicia was rapidly losing her selfpossession. "Did he tell you that?" she gasped. Annie nodded, "Yes. Dr. Bernstein says the police forced it out of his tired brain. I made Howard go over every second of his life that night from the time he left me to the moment he was arrested. There wasn't a harsh word between them." She stopped short and looked with alarm at Alicia, who had turned ashen white. "Why, what's the matter? You're pale as death—you—" Alicia could contain herself no longer Her nerves were on the point of givi:ig way. Sho felt that if she could not confide her secret to some one she must go mad. Pacing the floor, she cried: "What am I to do? What am I to do? I believed Howard guilty. Why shouldn't I? I had no reason to doubt his own confession! Every one believed it—his own father included. Why should I doubt i t But I see it all now! Underwood must have shot himself as he said he would!" Annie started. What did Mrs. Jeffries mean? Did she realize the tremendous significance of the words she was uttering? "As he said he would r she repeated slowly. "Yes." said Alicia weakly.

A squeezing device that will get all the juice out of a lemon and at the same time keep the seeds from getting in the lemonade has been designed by a New Jersey man. It is shown in the illustration and practically explains itself. The squeezer consists of two parts pivotally connected, one of them forming a cup and the other having a plunger fixed inside. A lemon or orange is cut in two and placed in L the cup, cut side down. The other member of the squeezer is then brought over till the plunger rests on the fruit In the cup. By pressing the two handles together th$ fru.it is flattened until every drop" of juice Is out of it, and the juice may then be poured Into pitcher or glass through the little lip which is seen on one side of the cup. The space through which the liquid flows Is so small that a seed can not pass through, and the seeds together with the skin of the lemon, can be dumped out afterward. HOW TO PUT AWAY LEMONS Simple Instructions by Which the Housekeeper Can Economize This Summer. Lemons are an Item that every house-wife can economize on this summer lr they follow these Instructions. Dip each ft"« 1» "i*1A^H^nrfifflnft and "4:- ><-t wrap in waxed paper. Lay away large glass jar or crock. The large, thin-skinned ones are to be preferred, as these can now .be purchased for about one cent each, and, aa you know, in the middle of the summer you are required to pay three times as much for not as good quality; an hour's time, ten cents' worth of paraflne and five cents' worth of waxed paper will be considered money well spent if you now put away enough to last you through the hot spell. When you wish to use them, all that will be necessary will be to dip them in fairly hot water and not only will the paraffine entirely come off, but the hot dip will also Improve the lemon by making the extracting of the juice much easier and more complete. ALUROUND CHOUSE An excellent way of cleaning lamp chimneys is to hold the glass over the Bpout of a kettle of boiling water until it becomes well steamed, then polish with a* clean dry cloth, and the glass will be beautifully bright. When making boiled puddings of any kind try putting a piece of greased paper over the top before the cloth is put on. This renders the cloth much easier to wash, and keeps the pudding nice and firm. When steel knives are not in constant use always wrap them in tissue paper and lay them away. This quite prevents them from rusting, and so naves the bother of cleaning them when they are required again. Ground rice is excellent for cleaning white cloth. It should be applied with a piece of cloan white flannel, left for two or three hours, and then well brushed and shaken. The stalks may be very quickly removed from currants by well flouring, the bands and rubbing the currants as hard as possible between them. This takes much less time than picking them separately, and is qnite as effective, The following mixture is excellent for removing scratches from furniture. Mix equal parts of linseed oil and turpentine, dip a flannel into it, and rub' it well into the scratched parts. Pol* lsh with a soft duster, and you will find that the scratches will be almost Invisible. Lemon end Sslt Ivory knife handles that have become blackened may be cleaned by rubbing them with lemon dipped in salt, after which they should be washed in cold wster and they will he quite white again.

Albert Tiedemann, a freshman of the University of Pensylvanla, was called upon to vote for officers in a recent gathering. Not being well acquainted with the nominees, he thoughtfully hesitated before filling out his ballot. One of the company left the room with the explanation that he would "vote by proxy."

"You have?" said Mr. We'N, balancing the fragile cup to evijey the aroma of the mocha. He smiled his disbelief. "Why shouldn't we—just you and I —have a box at the opera this season?" "Ah," said Mr. Wells, with no particular Inflection, "why shouldn't we?" The cup tinkled as it touched the saucer. "I am so glad you're nice about it, Grant." There was the least trace of haste Jn this. "You always are so nice about these things; I am sure I know no one who is so thoughtful. We'll make it my Christmas gift, won't we? None could give me more pleasure, and, best of all, I can share it with you. Of course, we couldn't use the box on Saturdays—the popular performances, you know—and that makes It cost ever so little. And then we can entertain so nicely. It is really economy; fewer dinners and receptions, you know. I am so glad to have thought of It—and so proud you approve; I knew you would, Grant— dear." Confusing—blinding—smiles and intonation* tumbled t u m u l t o u s l y down the white-paved alley, and, gripping Mr. Wells, bound h i m / h a n d and foot, LlHput like, and returned him captive to the lady.

From the market and its aimless gyrations the talk turned at last to the various properties in which all were interested. "How Is Colorado Central coming on?" Austin asked of Newton. "I •havnn't ltcaid much uf it of lul^.'" "You keep your eye on our little Central, Austin," srid Newton, who was a crisp little man, fond of the good things in life. "You might have to pay a pretty penny to get it back." Mr. Wells, whose attention up to this time had been about equally divided between the conversation and the opera box, sat up. "Finding nuggets mixed in with the ballast along the line?" Austin demanded, laughlnp:. "Not yet. That'll come later,'* retorted Newton, cheerfully. "Too "busy catching up to our traffic now to stop for gold." as near 40 as possible. The decline attracted little attention in the dull market, and it was not until it touched 44 on the upward swing that the trading in It became at all animated. Here Hazlitt encountered such free selling of the stock that in order to keep it from breaking he was compelled to buy largely. This selling was reported to the pool as perfectly natural profit taking, and a request made for more funds to offset the calls on the broker. Mr. Wells drew another personal check, and another stub in the little leather-bound check book declared, "account opT box—current exp.," although there was, as yet, no corresncndjng credit entry on the books of the opoTs-houGo managomont.—• "Hefore noon on Tuesday the question was answered.

"Isn't that like Wells, now?" asked Newton, nodding to Austin. "No "If it were anyone but you," answered Marshall, "I should say ' y e s .

"It's just as I told you about the traffic," Newton went on, as the three lighted their cigars and settled back to await the messenger's return. "Two big smelters have just been put in operation on the Midvale branch; our extension to the Central Steel Company's plant is returning u« our share of business, and, beet of ah, the new link of the Western Colorado—it meets us at Silver City—Is turning over a big volume of paying traffic. If our operating men can hold down expenses according to estimate we of us in the morning round was John R. Austin and Hazlitt, of Hazlitt & Greene. Hazlitt's an awful duffer at the game. I thought you might like to know," added Marshall, as Barr smiled. • "Which game?" asked the little man. "Either. Colorado Central or golf." "Yes," said the broker, "of course, you're right. Put under the conditions we'll need more funds. We just about used up our past profits today keeping Central up." "Don't worry about funds, Hazlitt." Austin said, rather sharply. "You'll get all you need. I know I can count on Newton, and—well, our little pool isn't to be derailed by any market gambler. You ought to make him pay dearly for his meddling when that dividend is declared." Hazlitt laughed. "Depend on me. If you take care ofl the dividends I'll take care of the enemy." And so the little pebble which a woman's hand had tossed, blindly, into the quiet waters of the market was sending its waves In an ever-widening circle to an unknown shore, The "little" Opera Box Pool had outstripped its diminutive. The. untruthful stubs In Mr. Wells* little leather-bound check book multiplied monotonously. The struggle began again on Wednesday. For the first time there began to circulate timid rumors that can decide whether we should abandon the movement at a loss or continue it at a possible—remotely possible— Rain." The others assented to this arrangement. "You'll get my check in the morning, Hazlitt." There was a touch of weariness in Mr. Wells' voice. "Mr. Parr, sir?" said the waiter. It was noon of Friday, and in the Lawyers' club. Mr. Parr kept his eyes ou the newspaper propped up against a carafe, but made a half circle with his busy fork in the waiter's direction. "Thank you, sir," said the waiter, reading permission In the maneuver. "I thought you might like to know, sir, that President Wells of the Twelfth National bank, has had this table ev- The copper mines in the Lake Superior region were moat important to the Indians. When we remember that they did not understand the smelting of ores we can appreciate the value of these mines. In them The native metal occurs both in small pieces and great masses. The Indians had only to dig away the earth and smash the rocks with stone3 some of which, they provided with a groove and attached to a handle fly means of a withe around the groove. Archaelogists have found that they also built fires upon the rocks and thus cracked them that they might more easily be smashed with hummers. One piece of copper propped upon poles over fifteen feet below the surface of the ground was found by explorers where it had been abandoned by the Indian quarrymen. Weighing almost three tons, it was a monument to the industry of the North American Indians, who have too often been considered lazy, and who, we must remember, had only the simplest tools with which to raise this 4*«ULX-_mass. One of their shafts, which contaTTiut! a mat>s—uf s u p p e r " weighing several tons, was twenty-six feet deep and the mass of copper had been_raised several feet, probably the only means the Indians had of moving it being wedges and sticks.

The use of peat for domestic purposes in European countries dates back several hundred years, but the extensive development In methods of mining and utilizing peat has been largely within the past ten years. At the present, time In many of the European countries peat is a large source of power development through the aid of the gas producer and engine, and the utilization of the peat bogs Is becoming general. Some Idea of the extent of this development may be had from the statement that Russia alone mines annually over 5,000,000 tons of dry peat.

Cora e~along.** And Merritt, as helpless as a cat In the claws of a mouse, was alternately pushed and pulled along toward the entrance of Baylock's theater. "But I don't care to see a show— at least, not tonight," protested Merritt, feebly, trying with all a little man's horror of the ridiculous, to free himself. "Nonsense. I'll guarantee that you will enjoy the show all right" With the head usher looming ominously near, Merritt made a last desperate effort to free himself. "Baylock, old man, I can't possibly go In. Don't you see, I'm not shaved an—" Hli protest was cut short, as with a knife. "Merritt you've got to sit in Judgment on my new play, whiskers or no whiskers. Tou may be a fool In some ways, but as a critic your opinion is worth money to me; therefore I shall give you a seat in the first row." "Orchestra seats are all taken, sir," murmured the head usher, deferentially. Merritt shot a mildly triumphant glance la Baylock's direction. That gentleman grinned expansively. "Show Mr. Merritt to a box seat," fie ordered, and, chuckling audibly, Baylock disappeared into the box office. Scorning further-controversy, Merritt followed his guide to one of the lower boxes. He took his seat with Merritt Determined to Withhold ptanattons. Ex* Ifti BUS ¥•: m **•• 4 the uncomfortable feeling that he waa on exhibition. In his capacity as agent for a large Industrial insurance company he had a speaking acquaintance with at least one-half the town and he could imagine the comments his appearance occasioned. Another man might have relieved his mind by cursing t#e weather prophet whose false predictions had led Merritt to don his oldest and shabbiest suit that morning and, forgetting past favors in the shape of complimentary tickets, would probably .have wound up by cursing Baylock's propensity for securing his friends' •opinion ot every new play.

When he entered the box Merritt had taken a seat on the side nearest the stage, consequently It was an easy matter to keep his back turned to the other occupants. He. was fuming between a desire to go home and a grim resolution not to give the other man a clear field. At the end of the intermission, during which Merritt had committed his programme to memory, he tried once more to fix his attention on the stage. But the play was intolerably dull, and the hum of happy voices behind him tried his endurance to the limit How could she sit there and exchange banter with that young fool? In an extremity a mouse has been known to show fight, and Merritt. although he was good natured, was far from mouselike. A sudden anger took possession of him. He turned, and the look he bent on Amy was as ferocious as his extremely mild blue eyes were capable of expressing. To his amazement she met it with a gracious nod of the head. "I was wondering whether you would ever turn," she murmured softly, as she beckoned him to her side. It was bewildering, but Merritt managed to retain his senses and to bow to Cousin Nell and her brother-in-law as he made haste to take the chair which the latter bad vacated in his favor. "Oh, James!" Amy's tone expressed the deepest contrition. "I didn't think you cared so much." Not knowing how much was meant, Merritt contented himself with gazing rapturously into Amy's eyes instead ot making a verbal answer. "No," reflectively, "I didn't think you would become desperate." And Indeed only a girl in love would have suspected Merritt of such a thing. "I —I—it hurts me dreadfully to see you in such a state," she finished tremulously. "Well," Merritt conceded modestly, "I confess I was pretty wrathy, but I didn't know I showed it." ~~IfDlr1—I mean the other-" +OUB paused uncertainly. "Yes?" prompted Merritt encouragingly. "Never mind, dear," as she still hesitated. "It is enough for me that there was no ground for my Jealousy of Bob, and to know that I am forgiven. But I wish our reconciliation had found me in more appropriate attire," with a comprehensive wave of his hand. "James," Amy broke in, eagerly, "don't you know that it WM your forlorn condition that first opened my eyes to the desperate state of your mind? Had you appeared happy I would never have repented of my cruelty." Merritt determined to withhold explanations; therefore, his only answer was a sigh. She continued to eye him anxiously. "Well, dearest?" he encouraged, softly. "James," very timidly, "I am afraid you will be angry, but I won't feel safe unless you promise you will never again touch liquor. Merritt gave the hesired promise, but not without a secret qualm. "And now, are you satisfied, dear?" he queried anxiously. "Yes," breathed Amy happily. "But just the same we are never going to have another quarrel." >KEK vfey WILBUR D N E m T HAD BEEN SILENT SUFFERER Subordinate Officer tho Recipient Hints Intended for His Superior. of A sea captain's wife tells this story of a maiden woman, sister of one of the owners of the ship on which she once made a. long voyage.

To tell you the curious story ot how the mind sffects the digestion of food* I refer to the condition the mind Is In, Just before, at the time, or Just following the taking of food. Jf be has-been properly educated (the major* ltyhMve)he will help you understand the curious machinery of digestion. To start you thinking on this interesting subject, I will try to lay out the plan in a general way mtid you can then follow Into more minute details* Pawlow (pronounce Pavloff) a famous Russian Physician and Chemist, experimenting- on some dogs, cut into the tube leading from the throat to the stomach. They were first put under chloroform or some other anaesthetic and the operation was painless. They wert kept for months in very gdod condition. When quits hungry tome un-appetiiing food was placed before them and, although hunger forced them to eat, it waa shown by analysis of the contents of the stomach that little if any of the digestive juices were found. t- Then, in contrast, tome raw meat was pnt where they couldn't reach it at once, and a little time allowed for the minds of the dogs to "anticipate'* and create an appetite. When the food waa finally given them, they devoured it ravenously and with every evidence of satisfaction. The food was passed out Into a dish through the opening before it reached the stomach. It was found to be mixed with "Ptyaltn" the alkaline joios of the month, which Is important for the first step in digestion. Then s a analysis was made sf tbs-contents ot -¾ the stomach, into which no food had entered. It was shown that the digestive fluids of stomach were flowing freely, exactly aa if the desirable food had entered. This proved that it was not the presence of food which caused the digestive juices to flow, but the flow was caused entirely and alone as a result of the action of the mind, from "anticipation." One dog continued to eat the food he liked for over an hour believing he was getting it into his stomach, whereas, not an ounce went there; every particle went out through the opening and yet all this time the digestive juices flowed to the stomach, prepared to quickly digest food, in response to the curious orders df the mind. Do you pick up the lesson? . - <- Unappetizing food, that which fails to create xn< anticipation, does not cause the necessary dlg«l juices to flow, whereas, food that is pleating to tke tight, and hence to the mind, will causa the compiles^ machinery of the body to prepare in a wc for its digestion. How natural, then, to reason that 09s should sit dow* to a meal In a peaceful, happy state of .mind and start Off the breakfast, say with some rips delicious fruit, then follow with a bowl of crisp, lightly browned, tola bftt of corn like Pott Tosstiss, sdd a sprinkle of sugar and tome good yellow ^ream and the attractive, appetising picture cannot escape your eye and win produce the condftton of mind which causes the digestive juke* naturs has hidden in mouth and stomach, to corns forth and do their workv , These digestive Jotcst can be driven back by a mind oppressed wtth worry, hate, anger or dislike of the disagreeable appearance of food placed before one.

A farmer owning as many as twenty- five sheep should have a good dipping vat. These may be made of wood, metal or concrete. For a smaller number of sheep than twentyfive, the barrel used to scald the pigs will do if the farmer feels that he cannot afford to purchase or build a vat. ^ A good galvanized vat ten feet long and four feet deep made purposely for dipping can be purchased^ for about $12. There are smaller sizes than this that can be purchased for leas, money. Concrete vats can be built at a normal cost. Three 6r four farmers can club together, and purchase one of the galvanized tanks and haul It to their respective farms as it is wanted. A dipping vat for sheep shoud be narrow enough to prevent the sheep turning around in it, and deep enough to swim large sheep. The length of the vat should depend upon tii* number of sheep a man keeps on bis place, as the longer the vat the greater the number of sheep which can be dipped in a day. There is considerable variation as to the A Dipping Vat. width of vats found on different farms and as a usual thing they are wider than necessary. Then, too, the narrower the vat the less the dip required to fill It. A vat 20 inches wide at the top and 8 inches wide at the bottom Is a fair average as regards width, although some very practical sheep men construct their vats as narrow as 16 inches at the top and 6 inches at the bottom when the vat is 4 feet deep. The size of sheep kept on a farm must, of course, be taken into consideration. The dipping vat illustrated is located in the driveway of the hog house, and can be used for the dipping of sheep and young pigs. It is built entirely of concrete, the walls of which are 6 inches in width with the exception of the partition between the vat and dry chamber, which has a thickness of 94nches. The end of the vat into which the hogs and sheep are plunged is perpendicular while the opposite end Is provided with an incline which is quite deeply creased to that the animal can walk out. The floor around the end of the vat from which the sheep emerge is so graded that all drippings return to the vat. There are sewer connections with this outfit, the valve of ^"Hch is located in the dry chamber. The end of the sewer pipe'In the vat is provided with a grate and trap so as to catch bits of wool and droppings which would otherwise clog the pipe. MAKING A HOG-TIGHT FENCE A"«:i.a Brick or Stone 8unk in Ground With i Piece of Wire Attached Will ./•, Prove Effective, I have had no little, amount of trouble fencing against hogs, for stretch the fence as tightly as I could, some old tow or pig would eventually press the wire up between the posts and let the whole bunch oat, nays a writer in the Farm and Home.

P U R D U E . ) - Nearly every one aimB to give his "brood mareB about a week's rest after foaling, but on few farms are sufficient horses kept so that they can be allowed a longer period of rest than this. When the mare 1B again put into the fields, shall the colt be allowed Too Young to Travel Far. to follow the mare, or kept in tnt barn? The latter Is the better place in many ways. If the foal Is allowed to follow its mother to the field, to trudge after her all day long, it will be completely tired out, long before the day's work is ended. It is also in danger of being Injured in various ways. It wotrld be far better off left at the barn in a lot, or, if the weather is bad, in a box stall, where it can do itself no harm. After the first day, the.jcolt will cease to be restless, and will become perfectly contented, as soon as its mother it taken out of its sight. Also, under this plan, the jhare will work as well as usual, after the firBt day or two, which would not be the case if the colt were in the field where she could keep it in sight most of the time. The fir3t week, of course, it will be necessary to unhif r h the mare in the middle of the for<-.K>on and again in the middle of the afternoon, and take her to the barn and allow the colt to suck, but this is not one-half as inconvenient as having the colt in the field to get in the way, and to keep lis mother lu a fiulUu of eJusllemtJflL. Grosscup Hae Plans to Handle Trust. Declaring the Sherman act, "even as now interpreted, an ineffective remedy in the just complaint of the ordinary man against monopolies,," Judge Peter S. Grosscup of the United States circait court of appeals, proposed in the commencement address before the University of Iowa at Iowa City a new method of dealing with trusts. "To recognize combination and monopoly as something necessarily hero —square the law to the fact—and then, as a condition to granting corporate power to all, reserve the right tn regulate rilYldftnds.'LJ^lhfl lemfidY Judge Grosscup advances. Taft's Big Party. The reception which the president and Mrs. Taft will give on June 19, the 25th anniversary of their marriage, probably will be the most largely attended function ever given in the White House. More than 3,000 invitations have already been sent out and each day the president is s u g g e s t i n g p i o r p nnmPK s o t h a t t h e lowest estimate Is that 4,000 will be Invited and that of these* at least" three-fourths will attend. THE MARKETS. It will not be long before the colt can be left away from its mother half a day at a time and then the mare can be worked without any inconvenience whatever. If there are two or more colts, put them in a lot together when their mothers go to the fields, and they will be more contented. When there is any necessity of having the brood mare away from home all day, the colt should be haltered to her side. If on the road there will then be no danger pt the colt running back, or up branch roads, or of following other mares. Haltering the colt to the mare is a particularly wise precaution when a trip is to be made to town, or anywhere where railroads have tracks to bo crossed. High-Priced Stallion. The thoroughbred stallion, Flying Fox, Is dead. He cost M. Edmond Blanc, the noted French breeder, $190,- 000, but proved to be a profitable investment at that, owing to his success in the stud. llVtSTOC Eye trouble Is rare in pigs. Constant oa«e?

When yon are fattening bogs, it te easy to make the mistake of giving too much corn. The bog is considered a dirty animal, bnt no creatQrr~eTE}bys a clean, dry J>ed more than a hog. Kafir corn alone is said to make largo quantities of excellent silage very nearly equal to corn silage. Environment has a greater effect on the lamb when ft i s young than at any other period of its career.

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE "Our boy was born In Toronto on Oct. 13, 1908, and when three months old a slight rash appeared on his cheek. What appeared to be a water blister would form. When it broke, matter would run out, starting new blisters until his 'entire face, head and shoulders were a mass of scabs and you could not see a particle of clear skin. Other parts of his body were affected, but not to such an extent. We tried about every advertised remedy without avail, indeed some of them only added to his suffering and one In particular, the Remedy, almost put the infant Into convulsions. The family doctor prescribed for him and told us to bathe the baby in buttermilk. This did not do any good, so we took him to a hospital. He was treated as an out-patient twice a week and he got worse, if anything. We then called in another dootor and inside of a week the boy was, to all appearances, cured and the doctor said his work was done. But the very next day It broke out as bad as ever. "We decided that it could not be cured and must run its course and so we just kept his arms bandaged to his side to prevent his tearing his flesh. We left Toronto and shortly after our arrival In Duluth, the Cutlcura Remedies were recommended. We started using them In May, 1909, and soon the cure was complete. You would not think he was the same child for Cuticura made his skin perfectly clear and he is entirely free from the skin disease. There has been no return this time. We still use only Cuticura Soap for baby's bath. Robert Mann, Proctor, Minxu, May 3, 1910." Vegetable*.

SPECIAL 1.1.-. Mortgage T a x e s Auditor General Fuller is of the opinion the state will secure practically every cent coming to ;t under the new law providing for a specific tax on mortgages. He states that the provisions of the bill are such that holders of mortgages mu&t necessarily pay their taxes, pointing to tbe clauses which require tbe holders to have a certificate from county treasurers showing that the tax has been paid, before they can either cancel the mortgage or foreclose one. County treasures are not so well pleased as they might be with the new law, in view of the fact that it co,ntains no provision for compensation for the extra service they are called upon to preform. Tbe law requires them to furnish an affidavit of the payment of the tax, in the case or mortgages at present in force the owners of which wish to pay the specific tax in order to avoid paying the ad valorem tax. There is also the certificate to issue for all mortgages on which the tax is paid, and the tax money to handle and remit one half to the state—State Journal. * > • ' ' • * • • * • , ; . • • . • % • ' • • • : $ • ' r v Gallon Zenoleum Fly-Shoot and Sprayer for $1>00 :/Zenoleum Fly-8hoot will protect your horses and cattle ^ : from flies during the summer months.

Before the guests went in to luncheon they stood around smoking and "talking, and the colonel was presented'to each in turn. One man there was a large, beefy, sombre leader- writer on the Times. .

He Is out of work and in •. desperate straits. Underwood, who had ; once been engaged to Howard's stepmother, tUlcia, 1« apparently In prosperous circumstances. Taking advantage of his Intimacy with Alicia, ha becomes a aort of social highwayman, Discovering his true character, Alicia denies him the house. He sends her a note threatening auicida. Art dealers tor whom he acted aa commissioner, demand an accounting. He cannot make good. Howard calls at his anartanaota la an Intoxicated condition to rgquaat a Ipan of &000 to enable him to take up a business proposition. Howard drinks himself into a maudlin condition, and goee to sleep on a divan. A caller is announced and Underwood draws a screen around the drunken aleeper. Alicia enters. She demands a promise from Underwood that he will not take his life. He refuses -u,niess sne will Tenew her patronage. This she refuses, and takes her leave. Underwood kills himself. The report of the pistol awakens Howard. He finds Underwood dead. Howard is turned over to the police. Capt. Clinton, notorious for his brutal treatment of prisoners, puts Howard through the third degree, and finally gets an alleged confession from the harassed man. Annie, Howard's wife, declares her belief in her husband's innocence, and calls on Jeffries, Sr. He refuses to help •unless she will consent to a divorce. To save Howard she consents, but when she finds that the elder Jeffries does not intend to stand by his son, except financially, she scorns his help. Annie appeals — t o JTxdge Brewster,-.attorney jfor_ Jeffries, Sr.. to take Howard's case. He declines. It Is reported that Annie Is going on the stage. The banker and. his wife call on Judge Brewster to find some way to prevent It. Annie again pleads with Brewater to defend Howard. He consents. CHAPTER XVI.—Continued. "Ah! I begin to understand. You knew Robert Underwood? Howard knows your voice—he heard you—talking to him—Oh, Mrs. Jeffites!—Are4 you^ne woman who visited his apartvments that night?" The banker's wife bowed her head and collapsed on a chair. "Yes," she murmured in a low tone. Annie looked at her In amazement. "Why didn't you come forward at once?" she cried. "Think of the pain which you might have spared us!" Alicia covered her face with her handkerchief. She was crying now. "The disgrace—the disgrace!" she moaned. "Disgrace!" echoed Annie, stupefled. Indignantly, she went on: "Disgrace— to you? But what of me and Howard?" "Can't you realize what it means to be associated with such a crime?" she wailed. ' "Disgrace!" cried Annie contemptuously. "What Is disgrace when a human life is at stake?" "It seemed so useless," moaned Alicia—" a useless sacrifice in the face of Howard's confession. Of course —if I'd known—if I'd suspected what you tell me—I'd have come forward and told everything—no matter at what cost." Tearfully she added: "Surely you realize the position It puts me In?" ' A new light shone in Annie's eyes. What was this woman's misery to her? Her duty was to the poor fellow who waa counting the hours until she could set him free. His stepmother deserved no mercy. Utterly selfish, devoid of a spark of humanity, she would have left them both to perish in order to protect herself from shame and ridicule. Her face was, set and determined as she Bald calmly: "It must be done now." "Yes," murmured Alicia In a low tone that sounded like a 8oh, "it must he done now! Oh, if I'd only done it before—if I'd only told Mr. Jeffries the whole truth! You speak of Howard's sufferings. If he didn't do it, he has at least the consciousness of his own innocence, but I—the constant fear of being found out is worse than any hell the imagination can conjure up. I dreaded it—I dread it now —it means disgrace—social ostracism —my husband must know—the whole world will know." Annie was not listening. Still bewildered, she gazed with the utmost astonishment at her companion. To think that this mysterious woman they had: bean seeking was Howard's stepmother. \ "So you're the missing witness we f have all been hunting for!" she aald; "I can't believe it even nowv How did It happen?" \ "He and I were onca engaged, broke it off when I found him out After I married Mr. Jeffrief 1 met Underwood again. Foolishly, I allowed the.old Intimacy to be renewed. Ha took advantage and preyed on my friends. I forbade him my house. He wrote me a letter in which he threatened to kill himself. I waa afraid he meant it—I wanted to prevent him. I went to his rooms that night I—didn't tell Mr. Jeffries. Whan the truth la known and I acknowledge that I visited this m a n - can you see what It means?—what a fus* tasrVH be. **aryhody will put the worst constrtjsjttoa en It—" Trust than fs» *j|s*4• aald Annie grimly, ihe wan on*? tor the woman's distress, ye^ftigsw only human, f t * * awtaJajMp « | aartsffctifla *" In seeing her suffer a little of what she had been made to suffer. "They'll say that I—God knows what they'll say!" went on Alicia distractedly. "My husband will be dragged through the mire of another pubUe-eeaiMlal—Wa social prestige will —oh, I dare not think of it—I know— my duty Is to that unfortunate hoy. I mustn't think of myself." "Haye you the letter that Mr. Underwood wrote you?" demanded her companion., "Yes—I've never been able to destroy It I don't know why I kept i t but thank God I have it!" Moaning, she went on: "The disgrace!—the disgrace!—it's ruin—degradation! It's the end of everything!—the end of everything!" Annie regarded with contempt thi* poor, weak, walling creature who lacked the moral courage to do what was merely right. Her voice was not unkind as she said: "I don't want to disgrace you—or ruin,you. But what am I to do—tell me, what am I to do?" "I don't know," moaned her companion helplessly. "Howard must be saved.** "Yes." "Will you tell Judge Brewster or shall I?" "Judge Brewster! Why should he know?" cried Alicia, startled. More composedly and as If resigned to the inevitable, she went on: "Yes, I supposehe must know sooner or later," but, I—" She broke down again and burst Into tears. Annie watched her in silence. "It's tough—Isn't it?" she said sympathetically. "Yes," sobbed Alicia through her tears, "it's—it*snough!" Rising, she dried her eyes and said hastily: "Don't say anything now. Give me a few "hours. Then 1 Can think what Is best to be done." Annie was about to reply when the office door suddenly opened and Judge Brewster entered. Addressing Alicia, he said: "Pardon me, Mrs. Jeffries, I hope I haven't kept you waiting." Noticing her agitation and traces of tears, he The clerk retired and the banker, completely ignoring the presence of his daughter-in-law, turned to his wife and said: "I regret, my dear, that you should be subjected to these family annoyances." Judge Brewster came forward and cleared bis throat as if preliminary to something Important he had to say. Addressing the banker, he said boldly: "Mr. Jeffries, I have decided to undertake Howard's defense." His aristocratic client was taken completely by surprise. For a moment he could say nothing, but simply stared at the lawyer as if unable to believe his ears. With an effort, he at last exclaimed: "Indeed!—then you will please consider our business relations to have ceased from this moment." The lawyer bowed. "As you please," he said suavely. The banker turned to his wife. "Alicia—come." He offered his arm and turned toward the door. Alicia, in distress, looked beck at Annie, who nodded reassuringly to her. Judge Brewster rose and, going to the door, opened it. The banker bowed stiffly and said: "Pray don't trouble. Good morning, sir." As Alicia followed her husband out, she turned and whispered to Annie: "Come and see me at my home." When she had disappeared the judge came back into the room and sat down at his desk. "Well, that's done!" he exclaimed with a sigh of relief. Rummaging for a moment among his papers, he looked up and said with an encouraging smile: "Now, if you please, we will go over that evidence—bit by bit" one Important witness, the mysterious woman who was In the apartment a few minutes before the shooting and who was in possession of a letter in which Underwood declared his intention of shooting hJmself. doubt was no longer possible. Acquittal was a foregone conclusion. So pleased was the Judge at Annie's find fthat he did not insist on knowing the woman's name. He saw that Annie preferred, for some reason, not to give jit—even tD her legal adviser—and,he let her have her way, exacting only that the woman should be produced the Instant he needed her. The young woman readily assented. Of course, there remained the "confession," but that had been obtained unfairly, illegally, fraudulently. The next important step was to arrange a meeting at the judge's house at which Dr. Bernstein, the hypnotic expert, would be present and to which should be invited both Capt Clinton and Howard's father. In front of all these witnesses the judge would accuse the police captain of browbeating his prisoner into making an .untrue confession. Perhaps the captain could be argued into admitting the possibility of a mistake having been made. If, further, he could be convinced of the existence of documentary evidence showing that Underwood really committed suicide he might be willing to recede from hla position in order to protect himself. At any rate It was worth trying. The judge insisted, also, that to this meeting the mysterious woman witness should also come, to be produced at such a moment as the lawyer might consider opportune. Annie merely demanded a few hours' time so she could make the appointment and soon re* turned with a solemn promise that the woman would attend the meeting and come forward at whatever moment called upon. Three evenings later there was an Impressive gathering at Judge Brew-" ster's residence. In the handsomely appointed library on the second floor were seated Dr. Bernstein, Mr. Jeffries and the judge. Each was absorbed in his own thoughts. Dr. Bernsteln was puffing at a big black: cigar; the banker stared vacantly Into space. The judge, at his desk, examined some legal papers. Not a word was spoken. They seemed to be waiting for u fourth man who had not yet arrived. Presently Judge Brewster looked up and said: "Gentlemen, I expect Capt/ Clinton In a few minutes, and the matter will ho plA^ori hqfnrft ynn " CHAPTER XVII. The news that Judge Brewster would appear for the defendant at the approaching trial of Howard Jeffries went through the town like wildfire, and caused an immediate revival In the public interest, which was beginning to slacken for want of hourly Each Was Absorbed in His Own Thoughts. looked surprised. He made -o comment but turned to Annie: 'T have been talking to Dr. Bernstein over the 'phone." Annie approached him softly and said In a whisper: "I've told Mrs. Jeffries that you have undertaken Howard'a defense." Judge Brewster smiled at his wealthy client almost apologetically, f} Annie thought. Then addressing her, he said: "Yes, rve been quite busy sines I saw you. I hitve^put three of the best detectives wa bave^on the trail of the woman who visited Underwood that night I don't think the police, have - * s They're satisfied with Howard's con fesaion. But we want her and wall get hsr—" "Oh!" gaspsd Alicia. The judge was proceeding to tall of other steps he had taken when the door opened and the head clerk entered, followed by Mr. Jeffries. / "I told Mr. Jeffries that Mr*. Jeffries was hers," aald the elefk. "Yon might hats) tali lam that there were two Mrs. Jassst* jsftrs," laughed tbsjodg*. • / ¾ stimulation. Rumor said that there had been a complete reconciliation in the Jeffries family, that the banker was now convinced of his son's innocence, and was determined to spend a fortune, if necessary, to save him. This and other reports of similar nature were all untrue, but the Judge let them pass without contradiction. They were harmless, he chuckled, and if anything, helped Howard'a cause. Meantime he himself had not been Idle. When once he made up his mind to do a thing he waa not content with half measures. Night and day he worked on the case, preparing evidence, seeing witnesses and ex BJSSjSSsil SILO SHOULD BE REGARDED AS NECESSITY ON STOCK FARtf H u g e Receptacle I s N o Longer a n E x p e r i m e n t a n d I s o o V a l u a b l e to M a n W h o Breeds Stock, a s to D a i r y - m a n — S i l a g e V e r y M a t e r i a l l y Decreases Cost of P u t t i n g P o u n d of Beef Onto Feeding Steer. •f.' ,f •'.Vy We have been laboring In season and out of season to Induce farmers to build silos. The silo is no longer an experiment. It has been used by dairymen with success for thirty years. It was for a long time supposed that It could only be used in dairying, says the Wallace Farmer. We have found out now that it is almost as valuable to the man who grows stock as to the man who milks cows. We are finding out that silage very"materially decreases the cost of putting a pound of beef onto a feeding steer. We have found out that It is good for the ewe, for the brood sows, and for young stock of all kinds as well as for dairy cattle. The only animal on the place to which it Is not safe to feed It is the horse; Just why we do not know. It Is perhaps entirely safe if of good quality, but dangerous if moldy. We are finding out still more about silage, namely, that by using a summer silo, one about half the size of the winter one, we can bridge over the droughts, which come in every coun- Suppose you cannot fill one man's silo before it la dry; you can easily remedy that by putting in water. We have done it and it works finely. You can even take the corn that stands in the field ready for husking and make good silage out of It.if you put la water enough; or you can plant soma sorghum and corn, and let the abundance of moisture in the sorghum, make for the deficiency in the corn. All these things are worth thinking about. What we want to lorpress upon your minds just now is that you cannot afford not to build a silo if you are in the stock business. You can no more do without a manure spread* er or a grain drill. There are soma things that are well aettled over most of our territory.

Peevishly, he said: "I've no wish to be present at the meeting. You know that and yet you sent for me." Judge Brewster looked up at him quickly and said quietly yet decisively: "Mr. Jeffries, it is absolutely necessary that you bo present when I tell Capt. Clinton that he has either willfully or ignorantly forced your son to confess to having committed 8 crime of which I am persuaded he is absolutely innocent." The banker shrugged his shoulders. "If I can be of service, of course, I—I am only too glad—but what can I say—what can I do?" "Nothing," replied the Judge curtly. "But the moral effect of your presence is invaluable." More amiably he went ou: "Believe me, Jeffries, I wouldn't have taken this step unless I was absolutely sure of my position. I have been informed that Underwood committed suicide, and to-night evidence confirming this statement is to be placed in my hands. The woman who paid him that mysterious visit just before his death has promised to come here and tell us what she knows. Now, if Capt. Clinton can be got to admit the possibility of his being mistaken It means that your son will be free In a few days." "Who has given you this Information?" demanded the banker skeptically. "Howard's wife," answered the Judge quietly. The banker started and the lawyer went on: "She knows who the woman is, and has promised to bring her here to-night with documentary proof of Underwood's suicide." "You are depending on her?" he sneered. "Why not?" demanded the judge. "She has more at stake than any of us. She has worked day and night on this case. It was she who aroused Dr/ Bernstein's interest and persuaded him to collect the evidence against Capt. Clinton?' The banker frowned. "£he is the cause of the whole miserable business," he growled. The door opened and the butler, entering, handed his master a card. "Ah!" ejaculated the judge. "Here's our man! Show him up." When the servant had disappeared Mr. Jeffries turned to his host With a show of irritation he aald: "I think you put too much faith in that woman, but you'll find out—you'll find out." Judge Brewster smiled. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Unique Indorsement of Check.

With ua the most dangerous time la in July and August which are usually droughty periods, when the grass is short and files are bad. We are finding out that by having a summer silo we can provide pasture out of the silo until the rains come in the falL Some of the readers may shake their heads at this, but we are telling them agricultural gospel truth. They may say: While we often have these dry periods in July and August, we do not always have them. Some years we have excellent pastures. True, but your silage will keep almost as well aa the fruit your wife keepa over from a year of abundance to a year of want. Last year we fed on one of the farms belonging to the Wallace family silage that waa two years old. Apparently It was just aa good as the year It was made. / Why do we talk about it now? Because, if you are going to have a silo this fall for either winter or summer use, you ought to be thinking about it; not about the building of it or the cost of it, although it is Vv'orthy of thought, but whrre you v.fll plant your corn to necessitate the least hauling and diminish the expense; about. what kind of silage you want, whether rich with corn or scant in corn. You can determine that by the thickness of planting. If you want silage rich in corn to fatten steers, you want to plant it aa you do for the market—for the maximum of ears; but if you want it to feed to the dairy cows and want a large yield of stock with small grain yield, you must plant It thick. The main reason we are talking about it now la because to put up a alio and use it economically you want to enliat the co-operation of your neighbors. The same silage cutter the same power will answer for which he really had nothing to Ha indorsed the note thus: health having suffered by long close confinement and my oppressos* baring resolved to deprive me of property or life.

The attention of merchants is called to the new state law promulgated by the diary and food department which makes it unlawful for dealers to expose goods for sale without proper sanitary precautions against flies and dust, particularly referring to meats, fruits and vegetables. This law has attracted much attention throughout the state and a general effort will be made to enforce it few years it is said there has been a large increase of young people, teachers and college people. There is a reason for this. Bay View has not trusted in its wonderful climate alone, but has organized recreations; it has appealed to the best people, and has wisely kept living expenses down. There are three modern two and three dollar hotels, but by taking furnished rooms, of which there are hundreds, and dinning at the well supplied cottage dinning rooms, one can cut living expenses to a dollar .per day. Of coarse, the drawing magnets are the assembly with its brilliant programs' and the highly organized summer university, opening July 17tb. In recent years the Bay View conferences have begun to attract wide notice. There are four: Bible, Missionary, Labor, and Social Welfare, and Good Health, each in charge of people of high reputation.

CO., P. 0. Bex 395, MIBWer &htit: •#?» STORIES of WALL STREET At P A R <By LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE Copyright, by Street * Smith. |HB quiet of the breakfast room was disturbed only by the subdued rustle of the paper in West's hands and the purring of the coffee machine by his wife's elbow. Frowning slightly in her preoccupation, the woman remarked the silence, and passed it over; it was a part of her dally life—had been a part of it ever since, ten years before, the curtain had fallen upon their honeymoon. She was accustomed to say that for ten hours of the day, from eight in the morning to six in the evening Tom W e s t was a mere money-making macjdixe, wjth no end in life save the manipulation of the market, no conception of anything in the world save bank and railway statements, dividends, tickers and the ebb and flow of prices. Afterwards, from 6 p. m. to 8 a. m., he was a normal human being with almost human interests, including a wife. Therein she did West justice, and some injustice. In point of fact, the man adored his wife after business hours. But It was most true that he forgot her completely throughout the Wall street working day. And to that, perhaps, may be attributed his remarkable success—to the absolute concentration of all his faculties upon the matter in hand; which generally consisted in the "bearing" of some security which other men admired, but which West looked upon with the jaundiced eye of the skeptic confirmed in his pessimism so far as stock values were, concerned. As for his wife, for the.time being her thoughts as well as her slim white fingers- were busied about the tall copper 'pot in whicn tne coffee brewed. Now, with a little nod of satisfaction, she placed the extinguisher over the flame of the alcohol lamp, and glanced tentatively toward her husband, as though fearful of disturbing him. Of West, only his fingers were visible: rcugh-hewn, blunt, heavy fingers that conveyed a distinct impression of the man'a character, as the world saw it. They gripped almost fiercely the edges-of the morning paper, which he held outspread so as thoroughly to curtain himself from his wife's gaze. Iiehind it he maintained an unbroken silence; his big, broad brow thrust forward aggressively, his lips set and tense, his gray eyes fairly dancing up and down the serried columns of figures, as he—to use his own phrase— tore the heart out of the market report. The woman gazed upon the fingers with a tenderness glowing deep in her eyes; somehow they suggested to her very clearly the man she knew BO well i^-that man whom the street reckoned futhless, but whom she loved with all her being, and who loved her in return with a devotion almost w o m a n i s h - after business hours again, 1 In time West lowered the paper un- 1jji Its upper edge was level with the fridge of his nose. He stared at her ^sent-mindedly; the creature man yfaa asserting its desire for refreshment, though the business man was lost In a pondering of men and meastwes. "Coffee ready?" he demanded, acid promptly returned his gaze to the list of the previous day's transactions. J "Ready," she replied, quickly and clearly, "and waiting, Tom." She dropped the indispensable two lumps of sugar into West's cup, added the cream, then brimmed it with the steaming black liquor. As she had anticipated—for she studied the man closely—the sound of her voice and the stir of the tableware distracted the current of his thoughts. Reluctantly he folded the news sheet, and laid it at the side of his plate, accepted the cup, and began to stir the coffee with his spoon, monotonously, as though* he feared' -It might lose virtue through Inaction, meanwhile glaring at his plate. She fore bore to question him; she knew that before long he would begin to talk. Always, ever since she could remember, he had Interlarded his breakfast with a one-sided discussion, a running comment on the ways of the street, and on the part he happened to be playing therein at the particular time. And so, Inevitably,,it cam© to pass. Presently he dropped the spoon and began to use bis fork; and, "Funny thing about Belden," he observed, talking more at, than to, her. "Yes::—with t h e rising inflexion. " Y ^ . - ' j ^ i m ' - t l f l h g about B e U e a and myseff.

"Don't know it from Belden's own lips, that is. But he's rigging the market—ballooning Net Common——" "Net Common?" she Ixwjutoed, puzzled. "New England Transit, common," lie translated, impatiently; "his pet stock. He wants to boost it by wash sales as high a s the market will stand, and then he's going to unload„at a big profit. He plans to add the Bennington extension to the New England Transit system, and he needs; money to buy in the bond issue. Bennington extension," he contiued, as/though trying to make it perfectly clear to himself, beyond possibility of error, "is a big independent trolley line running north out of Hartford. It's practically bankrupt, and will default on the interest, due on the £rst, fqr its first mortgage four-per-ceat bonds. Belden wants to buy t h e n r i n r s o that he can foreclose on the mir<ite, and make Bennington extension a part of New England Transit. Slick, isn't he?" But West was not asking a question to be answered, for he continued, almost without a. break: "Belden found out that he wouldn't get 'em for a song yesterday," he said, chuckling. "Bennington Fours are selling at fiftynine, and a drug on the market at that. But I'm holding a block on behalf of a Western syndicate, and Belden has agreed to pay me eighty / o r 'em. I gave him to understand that they'd never be a cent cheaper, so he had to knuckle under, and pass me his word to the deal." "Yes," she breathed, vaguely, not greatly interested. West paused to swallow his coffee, then sat back and watched the curtains bellying in the warm June "breez<r-4hat had access through the open window. "Tell you what," he broke out, -seriously, "it was a great relief to me when I closed the transaction. I stand to get three or four hundred thousand out of it, and I need ready money the worst way, myself. That last rise in Ontario pinched me badly, and the banks are beginning to fight shy of my paper." He frowned, teetering abstractedly on two legs of his chair; then suddenly pulled out his watch. "Hello!" he announced. "I'll have to hustle. 'By, Bess." West arose, came around to her chair, and bent over to kiss his wife. She lifted her lips' to his, and they were barely parted; her eyelids drooped heavily, and she sighed faintly. For the instant ten years dropped from their lives; West's gaze glorified the firm curve of her cheek, the full sweep of her bare throat; and he caught at his breath sharply. Also he noticed a little anxious pucker between her brows, for which he laid the blame at the door of the oppressive weather, nor understood in the least that fear for him chilled her heart. "Look here, m'dear," he suggested, in a severely practical tone, as he straightened up. "Don't you think you'd better run up to Newport?" "And leave you here, alone, to stand the heat? No," she decided, firmly. "When Tom West takes a vacation, his wife will, Meanwhile, nothing worries me so much as the knowledge that you are working too hard—slaving your life out, dear. Be careful today, won't you—for my sake?" "For no one else's, Bess," he laughed, lightly. To dress for the evening was an ordeal, but one to be faced with a smile. For Tom liked to find her just so; it was good to him, when he had sloughed the cares of the day, to see her fresh, unwilted. Later, she recalled that it was while she struggled to attire herself with the grudged assistance of a cross maid, that she was suddenly convinced by a subtly psychic, womanly intuition that something was amiss, either with Tom or with Tom's affairs. But forebodings such as that are sternly to be relegated to the limbo of superstitions until the event proves their excuse. She was at the head of the stairs when the door opened and West slumped forward into the butler's arms; crumpled, enervated, crushed by the-withering heat. In another Instant she was by MB side, abruptly composed, mistress of "herself and of her fears; for this was what she had been awaiting, this that contingency the fear of which had held her by her boy's side w h e n c e might have been materially comfortable at the seashore.

Dexter; telf "At midnight stsjjva* sitting by his / • bedside, gazing hungrily Into his Bet features, waiting for the arrival of the nurse whom Dexter was to send. The physician had been an hour gone, leaving her in a Btate more tranquil, reassured. West was by no means out of danger, but the chances wer« in, his favor. The man was in a drugged stupor, strychnine spurring his laggard heart action, morphine soothing Mm, Presently the woman bent forward, very cautiously, and slipped the clinical thermometer between his parted lipB. West stirred uneasily, and his teeth clicked against the glass tube. Then again he lapsed into coma. She withdrew the thermometer, saw that it recorded an even one hundred, and was glad. A second later, entirely without warning, West had cast the blankets aside, and was sitting bolt upright, jabbering in a frenzy of delirium. The woman gave a hurried order to the waiting servant to~ leleuhune Dexter,i—ThrirefteT ctratteTe7ToirTfie"lnforma"- and returned to her husband's side. "Belden " he was Iterating with savage emphasis; "Belden Belden " "Hush, dear." Gently she forced him back, until his head rested upon, the pillow, and as gently sponged his moist brow with ice water. He proved tractable enough, and seemed grateful for the cold applications; but the morphine was stimulating his unhelmed imagination with a wavelike action; and he would talk, and did, by fits and starts. By degrees, listening intently, she began to piece together a comprehensive statement of what lay upon his mind, that had sapped his strength until the sun had found him an easy victim. One phrase—"Belden broke faith"—served as a starting point; with it as a guide she was able to select fragments from West's incoherent ramblings, and to join them together, mosaic-like, until she understood it all. "Belden broke faith—promised to buy at eighty—broke his contract— said he'd examined roadbed and rolling stock—come to conclusion that bonds were not worth the market— would pay sixty—damned scoundrel— need cash for Ontario deal—square with him—desperate fix—million put me on my feet, easy—make him pay p a r - ^ - " Under the treatment of the physician and the nurse West subsided into silence. But the woman had heard enough to enable her to grasp the situation very completely She debated the matter throughout the long, dreary night, an odd, hard light gleaming in her eyes. That morning the market opened firm; Net Common was in demand at one hundred and nineteen, an advance of two points overnight; Bennington Fours had dropped four points, to fifty-five. Belden smiled grimly, as he scanned the opening prices on the tape. To his ears the gossip of the ticker was sweet music; everything was going as he had wished. Nothing could be better, from his point of view. He drqpped the paper ribbons into the ticker basket, and began to pace up and down the length of his private office, with a stealthy, catlike tread, glancing from side to side with something furtive In his manner. His hands were clasped behind his back, and he allowed his head to droop as he chuckled sourly. Tausig, his partner, read the covert triumph in Belden's manner, and himself consulted the tape. He likewise smiled a broad, contented smile, as he turned away from the basket; but a moment later he began to think. "Belden," he began, aggressively. He was his partner's precise antithesis— a heavy, rotund, red-faced, "pushing" type. "- .^ "Eh?" Belden desired to know, stopping and facing him. Tausig tloffed his aggressiveness under that searching scrutiny. "How much higher are you going to let Net go?" he inquired, with plaintive deference. "Before I decide to liquidate?" asked Belden, leering. "Well, say one hundred and twenty-five, Tausig. Then we can begin to unload—quietly, you know—and besides, Bennington Fours will be down to fifty by that time." Tausig sucked uneasily at an expensive cigar. "I thought you said you would cash in this morning," he defended himself, surlily. "I did, I did," squeaked Belden. "But things happen you know. I've changed my mind; I think now it'9 safe ,to boost Net Common a little higher, and to bold off on the bonds a weevbit longer " '*Why?" demand Tausig, flatly. "There's West " "Haven't you heard the news?" Belden's tone was expressive of extreme surprise. "West's out of the running; we've got a clear track ahead of us." "What struck West?" Tausig's small eyes widened. "The sun struck West," sneered Belden. "He went away from here rather excited yesterday afternoon. He didn't seem to think I had treated him prettily. I suppose he ran around and got overheated—4t's none of my business." Belden waved a deprecating hand, disclaiming responsibility. "But he's flat on his back, and th*. Street doesn't know why." - ^ "Umm," Tausig mumbled his gratification. "And Hollwedel," he added, naming West's partner, "la a shrimp. He hasn't got the nerve to attempt reprisals, without West to h s j £ him lip. That's very nice—vesyA v "Yes," Belden whined a n s s v n e n t ; "and West wob't g e f over 4ty»for hit bonds—if I decide *> sllSMIhtoi that." He s i d ! e * 3 & ^ t t flfeMpster* and fondled the tSpe. 'feu* f b d r e d and twenty," he announced, s>tsjlij. *Yeu see, Taus|g, bow the Street believes in me." .:fee laughed nastily. "Send Out ordez^g tp self ten thousand when -we strike twenty-five," he added. "Sell 'em in thousand^haro lots, you know —one lbt to a broker." r Taualg arose and waddled outj grinning. Belden resumed bis pacing to and fro, scowling at the floor. Presently he stopped at the ticker again, and remained there, fingering the fastflowing ribbon for several minutes, motionless as a statue. Then he scurried hastily over to his desk and pressed a little mother-of-pearl button on its edge. "I want Mr. Chellborg," he snarled at the boy who answered his summons. "Mr. Chellborg," he told one of his confidential brokers who presently appeared, "I want you to find out who is buying Bennington Fours, and—and who the devil is selling Net Common!" including Belden and Tausig, swore amazedly to .find that It was worth, only one hundred and one. And then, while this panicky feeling held, Hollwedel, having deftly covered through other brokers his ten thousand shorts, suddenly proclaimed with a loud voice that he had twenty-five thousand Net Common to dispose of. It was as if a strong man, after a long and exhausting run, had abruptly been set upon by an JUl-tempered pers o n Jfc'ith an ax *nd a desire for t&e strong man's life. Net Common dropped like a log—Hollwedel selling and covering and selling again with most relentless activity. About the New England Transit post on the Exchange floor men came to blows in their efforts to dispose of a stock for which, it seemed, no one had the slightest use in the world. Other securities, and especially the more weak ones, suffered proportionlately— be«rase—of ihe shock "to public tion that somebody had sold "Net," five hundred shares at one hundred and nineteen; and somebody else had bought "B. Fours," eighty bonds at fifty-six. It was just half-past ten. Just at that moment an obliging Central had established telephonic connection between the uptown branch near the Waldorf-Astoria of William Wise & Sons, bankers and brokers, and the main, downtown, office of the same concern. It was a fairly reputable house, one doing a large commission - business through several branches, some of which, and in particular that one near the Waldorf, boasted a "special customers' room for ladles." On the uptown end of the wire was a somewhat? excited and excitable, but experienced, young man, who acted as manager of the branch office. He earnestly desired a word with the head of the firm, and was presently accommodated. Just what he had to say is not of record, but his communication was received with attentive respect by Mr. William Wise, who at once consulted the ticker with an air of alarmed interest. Then he sat down and rocked in his desk chair, frowning at the ceiling, for the space of three minutes by the clock. After which he summoned his head bookkeeper and desired information. "John," he Inquired, "how much Net Common are we carrying for our personal account?" _ He was told five thousand shares. "I think," Wise meditated, after the lurk Lad departed, "that, all things considered, we may consider the rise in Net a thing of the past. We will sell before the break comes; and while we are about it, it might be a good scheme to lump In two or three thousand shares short." And he telephoned the board member of the firm to that effect, using the firm's private wire to the Exchange floor and carefully modulating his voice so that no one but the man at the other end of the wire could possibly overhear his Instructions, Not wishing to alarm the market, and so lose the advantage of a few fractions of a point, he waited a reasonable period of time—fully five minutes— in order to permit the board member to execute his orders, before advising the customers of the firm (confidentially, of course} to "unload on Net Common, and sell short for a quick break." In the meantime, Belden, having viewed with disgust his pet's loss of one point on a strong market, decided to boost the price a trifle—"to give it a dose of tonic," as Tausig put it, In order to accomplish his desire, Mr. Belden commissioned some twelve brokers who were accustomed to execute his orders without "giving up" the name of their principal, to sell Net Common in amounts varying from one hundred to one thousand shares; in: all, twenty thousand. And at the same time he instructed an equal number of similarly trained traders to buy in a like manner—twenty-thousand Net Common. Barring untoward developments this, transaction, by which Belden's right hand sold to Belden's left—a practise nicknamed "washing sales by match orders" by the Street, and ruled against by the governing committee— would have resulted in creating a general Impression that Net Common was very greatly desired on all hands, Unfortunately, just as this was initiated, Messrs. William Wise & Sons offered eight thousand Net Common; so that the supply exceeded the momentary demand, and the price Inevitably "slumped." Within the next ten minutes Mr. Wise's customers, acting on his kindly advice, dumped eleven thousand two hundred shares on the floor, causing a further decline. And a timid somebody unknown became scared and decided to sell, and somebody else came to the same conclusion, and yet another somebody caught the Infection of distrust; the result being that Net Common was quoted at one hundred thirteen. Belden and Tausig, glued to the ticker's side by an invincible dismay, swore and considered ways and means by which they might "peg" the price; meaning*to fix it beyond possibility of further declines. But before they had time to make up their minds.as to the wisest course to be pursued, Hollconfldence. When the big clock in Trinity's tower boomed forth the hour of three, a long, deep sigh of relief, that was almost a gasp, went up from the nervous Street; Net Common was a-begging at eighty-three. In the private office of Mr. Belden, of Belden & Tausig, there was gloom. The two partners were limp and unhappy, facing each other across the basket that held miles and miles of paper tape stamped with the details of disaster well-nigh irreparable. Belden's sullow faee was dark and forbidding; he kept a dogged silence while he conned the written reports of his lieutenants. Tausig, on the other hand, had lost a great deal of his ruddy, wholesome appearance, and he muttered eurses automatically. Both had forgotten, for the time being, that there was such a security as Bennington Fours on the Hist. After a while, exasperated by Belden's continued reticence, Tausiz snapped at him a question— for the hundredth time: "Who did it?" Belden glanced at him slowly, Incuriously. "How do I know?" be asked. Tausig replied by a comprehensive anathema of Thomas West and all lii3 works. Belden said, patiently: "It wasn't West, I tell you; he's out of his head." "Then who was it?" howled Tausig. "Hollwedel?" Belden shook his bead. "Hollwedel sold no more than half a dozen others," he answered. "Beflldesi, ho'd bo afraid." I promise: to inter* said, faintly. "If you tat X-'U go- " "No, stay!" he commanded. **Ther« something funny going on, SSJSJl I pose to know what it is. Nosy, BotV wedel " Hollwedel stammered. "Well, it iBn't much," b« said, "that I had to do with the deal," aw added, hastily. /'Matter of fact, I o~nly acted as an agent, under orders.

She considered him the last man of her acquaintance whom she would select to "break it gently" to anyone bereaved. And so thinking, she rose and made as though she would leave the two together—futilely, however. "Mrs, West!" Hollwedel bowed. "Don't go, please," he added, almost pleasantly. And, "Stay with me, dear," West seconded, in a thin, brittle voice. Perforce she yielded. She cast one imploring glance upon Hollwedel— which he failed to catch—and sat down very sedately, folding her handr-; In her lap and playing with her wedding ring, the while a nervous, dimdent smile betrayed her inward agitation.

"Eh?" gasped Hollwedel, He sank into a chair with the air of an astonished elephant; and looked confusedly at Mrs. West. West's temper was worn thin by days of maddening iteration of the statement that he was too weak to talk about business. 'Don't say ' E h ! ' " he cried, peevishly.

Marjorie Kenneth folded the letter and turned slowly to the mirror. Her lip quivered a little as she noted the pallor of her cheeks and the shadowy rings under her eyes. She certainly looked as if she needed some Inspiring influence to revive her drooping spirits. Her piquant dark face was meant for smiles and gaiety, and her melancholy mood was blighting and tragical in its effect on her otherwise beautiful features. She hesitated a long time, but in the end she sat down at her desk and penned this note to Mrs. Sibley-Brown: "I am coming. I am too utterly lonely and heart-sick to refuse. Of course the prospect of a sane and restful Fourth is an added inducement. Have some one meet me at the fivethirty train tomorrow evening."

She was the descendant, through Lady Huntington, of George, duke of Clarence, brother of King Edward IV. and King Richard III. by Isabel Neville, daughter and heiress of Riefc* ard, earl of Warwick. Washington, therefore, as well m the descendants of that marriage, art entitled to quarter the arms of Hast* ings; Tone, earl of Salisbury; Planing* enet; Mortimer, earl of Marcb; Neville, Montague, Beauchamp ant Deverrux I The pedigree, which is full and accurate in regard to dates, gives as ft were sn epitome of the family.

The coatof- arms of the first John Washington was composed of three stars and stripes.

It was a beautiful place. The roomy country mansion with its broad, breezy piazzas and its velvet-green lawn sloping down to the water's edge, was isolated from the rest of the lakeside world, and sheltered by giant forest trees. In the miniature harbor, with its miniature docks and its boathouse, there was a variety of modern water craft, while farther out the gleaming surface of the lake was dotted with dancing sail boats. "On the ether side of the lake Is the village of Bluffton," the hostess explained to Marjorie, as they loitered on the lawn. "It is directly opposite us, just where you see that spire, with^lts^ gilded cross, rlslngabove the trees. *fney Tefl" SHf tfce villagers are going to celebrate the Fourth according to old-fashioned methods, but they are too far away to disturb u£" As the days went by Marjorie tried hard to enter into the spirit that animated the rest of the party. She resolutely put behind her the haunting specter of her heart-breaking trouble, and forced herself to be as cheerful and cordial and matronly as Mrs. Sibley- Brown herself. Yes, matronly, for it must not be supposed that Marjorie was a maid. To be sure, she was barely frve-and-twenty, hut she was c_^,. •-.tir wiCdj i.i i-,is w o ; A r m s . known to the world as Mrs. Kenneth by virtue of having been the wife of Chester Kenneth for more than two years. Everybody had known of the marriage, and everybody had prjnounced it an ideal match; but the dreadful sequel was known only to a very few persons, of whom Mrs. Sibley- Browa was one. Marjorie's dream of happiness had ended abruptly one year after her marriage to Chester Kenneth. A series of misunderstandings, disagreements and jealousy-inspired bickerings culminated in the only way that promised peace for both. They agreed to separate. Nothing was said about divorce, the only thought being that they must live apart.

"LijBten. .A.-gonrter juat^arrlvad Jn his motor boat from Bluffton, bearing a message, You know Bluffton is going to celebrate tomorrow in the wildest and woolieat way.

Maybe we'll have a ripple of excitement here, after all." "Let us hope that it will not be a tragedy." The Fourth of July dawned bright and beautiful.

There was no end of enthusiasm and enjoyment, and even Marjorie Kenneth was conscious of a quickened pulse and thrill of interest now and then as the day's program was unfolded. It was early in the afternoon. The water carnival was in progress, and those of the party who were not in boats were lined up on the pier. All of a sudden a great shout went up: "Look! Look! the airship! Hurrah!" All eyes were Instantly turned ic the direction of Bluffton. Clearly outfined against the crystalline arch of the sky they beheld the promised aeroplane, sailing like'a bird through the air. It was a thrilling sight. Everything else was forgotten, and the attention of the revelers waB absorbed in what to them was an unusual spec* tacle. The flying machine was approach* ing, yet taking time to execute some startling maneuvers for the entertainment of the spectators, now soaring in wide, graceful circles, now swooping down toward the lake, only to rise again in Bplral gyrations, now describing the figure eight, and In other ways showing how perfectly it was controlled by the man at the lever. Minute after minute the onlookers watched it in awed silence. Then, suddenly, there was an explosion of sharp exclamations and cries of alarm, merging quickly into a horrified groan, in which the whole crowd participated. It all happened In an instant. Something had gone wrong with the aeroplane—the aviator had lost control. The machine tilted— collapsed—and shot down toward the lake, a shapeless mass of debris. One second there was a glimpse of the daring aviator plunging headlong through the air. The next he struck the water and disappeared, i Women shrieked and mne shouted hoarsely. Pandemonium reigned for a few minutes, but it quickly subsided when it was discovered that no lops of life had attended the accident The aviator came to the surface, gasping and choking, and was hauled aboard a launch.that chanced to be conveniently near. He could not speak, but was apparently unhurt. His rescuers took him ashore. Marjorie Kenneth was among those .on the pier. As they helped the man out of the boat she saw his face.

He tore himself loose from the men who were supporting him, and clasped her close in his wet arms. It was the crowning sensation of the day.

D.'s. psoriasis, and others leprosy, commencing on my scalp; and in spite of all I could do, with the help of the most skilful doctors, It slowly but surely extended until a year ago this winter it covered my entire person in the form of dry scales. For the last three years I have been unable to do*- any labor, and suffering intensely all the time. Every morning there would be nearly a dustpanful of scales taken from the sheet on my bed, some of them half as large as the envelope containing this letter. In the latter part of winter my skin commenced cracking open. I tried everything, almost, that could be thought of, without any relief. The 12th of June I started West, in hopes I could reach the Hot Springs. I reached Detroit and was so low I thought I should have to go to the hospital, but finally got as far as Lansing, Mich., where I had a sister living. One Dr. treated me about two weeks, but did me no good. All thought I had but a short time to live. I earnestly prayed to die. Cracked through the skin all over my back, across my ribs, arms, hands, limbs; feet badly swollen; toe-nails came off; eV-nalls dead aud hard aa a bone; hair derd, dry and lifeless as old straw. O my God! bow I did suffer. "My sister wouldn't give up; said, 'We will try Cuticura.' Some was applied to one hand and arm. Eureka! there was relief; stopped the terrible burning sensation from the word go. They immediately got Cuticura Re- BOlvent, Ointment and Soap. I commenced by taking Cuticura Resolvent three times a day after meals; had a bath once a day, water about blood heat; used Cuticura Soap freely; applied Cuticura Ointment morning and evening. Result: returned to my home in just six weeks from the time I left, and my skin as smooth as this sheet of paper. Hiram E. Carpenter, Henderson, N. Y."

Adequate Rest Is Necessary. Prof. Frederic S. Lee of Columbia university, New York, writing on the subject, "The Physiology of Rest and Exercise," in the Journal of the Outdoor Life for June, shows by experiments on dissected frogs the way in which exercise tires the muscles and, in fact, all the organs of the body. He says, "There is no known antidote to fatigue, unless it be rest, with ail that rest implies. Sleep allows the reparative process of rest to be performed most quickly and completely. A moderate degree of fatigue, or even a considerable degree, when not too often incurred, Is not detrimental to a healthy body and is even to be advised. The healthy body is provided with great recuperative powers, and does not rapidly succumb to even excessive demands on its energy/ fipgiit should be allowed the proper condition for recuperation, and that condition is adequate rest. There is danger when the fatigue. of one day's labor is not eliminated before the next day's work is begun. The effect may be cumulative, the tissues may be in a continued state of depression, and the end may be disastrous." Never Forgot Business. "What would you take for a cold?" the sufferer said.

Black velvet bands, one or two, studded with gold or jeweled buckles, are for the classic style of coiffure, while the more coquettish girl uses them finished with a knot on each side, a spray of silver aigrette on one side or a bunch of drooping silk rose balls. Satin ribbon is used as a twist, soft folds, flat bands, plain, embroidered, beaded, lace appliqued, ditto gilt, with a bow, fan, knot, etc., Just back of the left ear. The exact position for the chief ornament of a band is according to the wearer's head, a long, short, or broad shape requiring different placing of this finishing touch. All ages from fifteen years wear hair ornaments. It will not be long before yellow hair will again be the fashion.

For a young glrPs use there is no stationery more suitable than the fabric finished surfaoed French dimity which comes in white, gray and stone blue square -sheets of correspondence and hasty note size, with envelopes of matching dimensions. Of an equally refined and dainty character are the linen lawn papers in solid tints of aeroplane, dawn pink, Baltic blue, willow green, orchid and cream—the hemstitched fabric crossbar in white bordered with a pale shade of color, and the diagonally striped fabric in two tones of mauve, blue or buff. A fad of the hour, and one permissible only as a jdke when a note passes between two very intimate young girls, is the red-edged, tan-colored "Chanticler" paper, which has a crowing rooster embossed at the top of each sheet Lawnette correspondence card* for acceptance and regrets are accompanied by envelopes having semielliptical or triangular flaps on which a monogram or initial may be engraved. This stationery dines in a variety of pale tints, of which buff, pale gray, gray-blue or whit- are prettiest.

The Waist i.'lrte. Though the waist ltoe is less versatile than it used to be, trad is more and more inclined to aeeume the convegttonal position, the empire effect 4s «fffl to be seen. For reception and darning gowns it is graceful, and the •soft (outline it gives to the figure Is delightfully picturesque. But for the street all this is out of place,- it gives tfee wearer a silhouette dsat is untidy, and suggests a looseness that is attcajetber objectionable. In regard also to evening gowns the sane fault may be found. So long as a toilette is to be worn chiefly while walking or standing, the short waiat la permissible— even desirable—but for a din* ner, concert or theater it ia no longer so. The bust tmconfined falls out of shape, and the figure cut Is most unattractfve— and it li the realisation of this fact that has led to so many of the newest evening bodices being made with swathed draperies and close fitting lines. Philadelphia, Pa.—Through the lovely wooded hills and up and down the valleys which give the name of that historic spot, Valley Forge, the scene of the darkest days of the Revolution, go ruBhlng and whizzing nowadays the hourly automobiles bringing groups of patriotic tourists from ail the country What a change in the spot and in the people since that time when Washington and his suffering heroes camped among these picturesque hills. What a gap between those footsore, discouraged men and the pleasure- seekers whirled in luxury through this great national park. For some eight miles the motor route circles about over the fine park roads, and ob every side the natural charms of the beautiful scenery are enhanced by the hostorlc associations. Many memorial tablets have been erected, marking where different divisions of the army or various commanders were stationed. Here and there are log cabins, reproductions of the olden huts, and standing on the old sites. There are lines of the old entrenchments to trace, and much else of interest to a student of military affairs, but the automobile 1B toe swift for study of this -sort. The Memorial chapel, unfortunately, does not lie on the route taken; it requires, and well deserves, a separate trip. One does, however, pass the old school house*, built by Letitia Penn in 1703, which was occupied by the Continental army as a hospital during the winter of 1777-1778. The flag floats over it, and a group of budding citizens, who ought to develop remarkable loyalty educated in such a shrine of liberty, flock out for recess as the motor car passes. But the central point of the trip is, of course, Washington's headquarters. This plain old stone structure Is a fine example of the sturdy buildings of Colonial times.

The back should lean forward at the top, for tae same purpose, and the fireplace should not be too deep.

The interior is very interesting. The two main rooms on the ground flour open from tSie wide paneled hall with ample amall-paned windows. In both reception room and office the walls are adorned with portraits, and valuable relics in cases and in the okl-fashioned chimney cupboard attract the eye. "Grandfather's clock ticks in the corner, and an old gun fills the open fireplace. Across an open passage through which sun and wind have full play, is a wing containing the quaint old kitchen. While this separation of the kitchen from the main body of the "house has . ome advantages, the modern housewife would certainly object to the unnecessary steps it occasions. And she would doubtless be at a loss to get a meal over the fireplace with its hanging hooks and pots. From the pump room adjoining the kitchen a eteep flight of steps descends to an underground passage, only lighted from an opening in the lawn above. The other end of the passage once communicated with the river and thus afforded a means of refuge and escape in case of surprise by the enemy. That end has been closed up, but the curious Investigator can descend sad walk along the damp, dark paaeage,. with thoughts of tne dangerous days when such a' secret way waa deemed necessary. The bedrooms on the floor above are very attractive rn their quaintness. They have been furnished by different chapters of the Daughters of the Revolution with suitable antique furniture so they must look very much as they did in the hours when Washington reposed in the big "four-poster," or in the straight-backed chair by the fireplace brooded over the perils of the country. On the third floor, to which one must climb with bended head If a bump is to be avoided, the bedroom la aa cosily old-fashioned as anything in the house. Much time might be profitably spent In looking over the maps, plans, etc., which hang about the walls of the hall and the main rooms, but the Is* terest of the average tourist in such matters is soon glutted and be prefers to walk about the lawn and view the house from every side, or stroll dowtf to the Schuylkill river In front of the headquarters and people the scene with the figures of WastsssstMr and his veterans. „.•"., ^«g Po mail trava! of the sjevernaent. *k : * « WESTERN CANADA'S GOOD CROP PROSPECTS i » » « . I . Y I E L D S ' O P W H E A T W I L L L I K E L Y BE 26 TO 30 BUSHELS PER ACRE. In an interview with Mr. W. J. White, who has charge of the Canadian, government. Immigration offlcea 1 in the United States, and who has recently made an extended trip through the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta in Western Canada. He said that every point he visited he was met with the one report, universally good crops of wheat, oats and barley. There will this year be a much increased acreage over last year. Many farmers, who had but one hundred acres last year, have increased their cultivated and seeded acreage as much as fifty per cent. With the prospects as they are at present, this will mean from |12 to |15 additional wealth to each. He saw many large fields running from 300 to 1,000 acres in extent and it appeared to him that there was not an acre of this but would yield from 20 to 25 or 30 bushels of wheat per acre, while the oat prospects might safely be estimated at from 40 to 70 bushels per acre. In all parts of the west, whether it be Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, north and south, east and west, and ia the districts where last year there was a partial failure of crops, the condition of all grain is universally good and claimed by most of the fanners to be from one to two weeks in. advance of any year for the past ten or twelve years. It does not seem that there was a single foot of the ground that was properly seeded that would not produce. There are those throughout western Canada who predict that there will be 200,000,000 bushels of wheat raised there this year, and if the present favorable conditions continue, there does not seem any reason why these prophesies Bhould not come true. There is yet a possibility of hot winds reducing the quantity in some parts, but with the strongly rooted crops and the sufficiency of precipitation that the country has already been favored with, this probability is reduced to a minimum. The prices of farm lands at the present time are holding steady and lands can probably still be purchased at the price set this spring, ranging Tr^m aTF-tr*-*^ p*"* ^ 1 ^ h»t ™»*h *- harvested crop, such as Is expected, there is no reason why these same lands should not be worth from $20 to $25 per acre, with an almost absolute assurance that by next spring there will still be a further advance in prices. Mr. White says that these lands are as cheap at today's figures with the country's proven worth as they were a few years ago at half the price when the general public had but a vague idea of the producing quality of western Canada lands. The land agents at the different towns along the line of railway are very active. A large number o! acres are turned over weekly to buyers from the different states in the south, where lands that produce no better are sold at from $150 to $200 per acre. The homestead lands are becoming scarcer day by day and those who are unable to purchase, preferring to homestead, are directing their attention to the park acres lying in the northerly part of the central districts. It has been found that while these are somewhat more difficult to bring under the subjugation of the plow, the sol! is fully as productive as in the districts farther south. They possess the advantage that the more open prairie areas do not possess; that there is on these lands an open acreage of from fifty to seventy per cent of the whole and the balance is made up of groves of poplar of fair size, which offer shelter for cattle, while the grasses are of splendid strength and plentiful, bringing about a more active stage of mixed farming than can be carried on in the more open districts to the south. The emigration for the past year has been the greatest in the history of Canada and it la keeping up in record shape. The larger number of those* who will go this year will be those who will buy lands nearer the line of railways, preferring to pay a little higher price for good location than to go back from the line of railways some 40 or 50 miles to homestead. Mr. White has visited the different agencies throughout the United States and he found that the correspondence at the various offices has largely increased, the number of callers is greater than ever. Any one detirtng information regarding western Canada should apply at once to the Canadian Government Agent nearest him for a copy of the "Last Beat West" The One Thing Needful. "Arms and legs are not so indispensable after all," remarked the man who narrowly escaped with his life in an explosion where he lost the use of both arms. He sipped his milk In silence through a straw, shook some change out of his pocket to the waiter, and,' reaching down with his mouth for the lighted cigar, puffed vigorously. Then, bowing his head and jamming It lata * his hat on the table, he arose ant turned to go, saying: "But thla heat «T •Zi&tr. taYasr Good Health ana!

The hansom ordered by a middleaged spinster was late, and the cabby came in for a good rating when he finally drove up to the door. "I shall probably miss my train," the irate "fare" informed him, "and 1 shall hold you responsible. I want to know your name, my man. Do you understand? I—want—your—name!" The driver clucked up his horse easily. "You'll make your train all right, madam," he assured the woman inside. "And I'll let you have me number if you like. But you can't have me name. That's promised ter another young lady." Just Then the Tea Bell Rang.
