Deveolop Your Home Community We urge the farmer and dweller particularly to help develop his home market; increase his property values and market by supporting bis home newspaper and by supporting his home merchants. Before purchasing that next money order give your home merchant an opportunity to make you a cash price on the goods you require. Mind you we s a y cssh price. When you buy by mail you pay cash. It costs money to carry accounts and th» mail order houses realize it. With cash your borne merchant can buy cheaper and sell cheaper. If you are still determined to purchase by mail—at least go in and compare the goods received with those your merchant carries and then figure out how much money you have saved. Convince yourself that you can purchase as cheaply at home, quality and cash price considered, as you can by mail. Build ap your home community —-it spells prosperity—means increased values for city and farm property and products. Higher wages for your workers. Qive your trade to your home dealer the man that extends you credit when you are in need of it and dont take a mortgage on everything you possess. Elmination of the retail merchant spells monopoly. Do you want to see your small towns deserted and grass growing in the main streets? Do you want your town reduced to a postoffice and express office? Do you wish to be competed to send away for every article you use? Do you Mr. Parmer wish to bear the burden of the whole county expense for administration schools, highways, etc? Do you wish to destroy your home market, home institutions including your newspapers and be out of touch entirely with the value of your "products? Can you expect if yon are building a bouse, barn, etc to receive the same extensions of credit from strangers as you would from your home dealers whose best interests are identical with fonr own? Can yon for yonr own Individ* ual prosperity afford to do other than to co-operate with yonr home merchant in ell lines ?

"Victor Hugo wrote to Bismarck: 'The giant greets the giant; the foe the foe; the friend the friend. I hate thee furiously because thou hast humbled France. I love thee because I am greater than thou art.' "And Wordsworth said of the Swa» of Avon: There Is an immensity of trick In all he wrote. If I had a mind, I could write exactly like Shakespeare.' "No wonder, then, the weedy little chap cut me," the editor concluded. "But I'll get even with him. I'll snapshot him in his bathing suit and send the picture to the Ladles' Illustrated.

A Puzzling Answer. ** Gomer Da vies was riding on the Central branch the other day when a very loquacious individual sat down beside him and began bombarding him with questions. Gomer got very tired of his talkative friend, but did not complain. Finally the fellow looked down and noticed that Gomer had a wooden leg. "How did you lose you leg?" he asked. "I will tell you upon one condition," said Gomer. "What is it?" That" you will not ask me another question." "All right." "It was bitten off." This aroused the curiosity of the questioner a great deal, but he made his word good and asked no further questions, —tTn~^eTTr~~Baid^Gojner, "that that fellow has lost a lot of sleep since then wondering what sort of an animay bit that leg off."—Kansas City Journal.

He writes: "Whenever I take tea I go through a regular procession of events, most distressing and Btultlfying.

"Of course I am a little sore after not having done any hard physical labor for fifteen years, but things will borne to me as easy as ever In a few days." 'Lewis went back to hard day labor after having held office In the miners' organization for fourteen years. "My work as a mjner ls_ certainly easier than my work as 'president, of the miners," said Lewis. "As president I worked fifteen hours a day.

Pot^ftTaLiatjamtoiyTT-WeU, we wUl 0$ 20 per cent, is your case wooden leg. / The Cunningham coal claims, for flighting which Gifford Pinchot and Louis R. Glavis were dismissed from the government service, were on Monday thrown out as illegal by the department of the interior. This ends one phase of the scheme by which, it is alleged, the Morgan-Guggenheim interests sought to dominate the vast commercial interests of Alaska, and control one of the richest coal fields in the world. Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the interior, having approved the department's decision, as handed down by Fred Dennett, commissioner of the land office, the last door is believed to have been closed to the^Cunningham claimants. Their attorneys have threatened an appeal to the United States supreme court, but such an appeal can be based only on some point of law involved, and not on the findings of fact as announced by the department. The Cunningham claims have been in the public eye constantly for more than two years past. They brought about the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation by congress. The dismissal from the public service of Chief Forester Gifford Pinchot, Louis R. Glavis, a chief of-fleW division in the land office, and several minor officials was on charges of insubordination incident to their attacks on former Secretary Bellinger, whom they charged with being too favorably disposed toward the ettrfms In announcing the decision of the department Secretary Fisher, who succeeded Mr. Ballinger in March last, declared that new coal land lawB are needed in Alaska if that territory is to be developed properly. In a statement the secretary said: The thirty-three claims involved amounted to an aggregate area <.f 5,250 acres. The value of the land has been estimated high in the millions:— The coal—umuiacfd—hi—rfre" claims is said to be among the finest in the world. Commissioner Dennett makes frequent reference to the work of Glavis in prosecuting the government's case against the Cunningham claimants. RURAL COUNTIES FIGHTING BACK. Organize to Contravert Claim They Are Underassessed. From a communication received by the board -of supervisors at Ionia from Thomas J. G. Bolt, chairman of the Muskegon board, it develops that the rural districts are going to make a fight when the state board of equalization meets in September, against the statement made by representatives of Detroit and Grand Rapids boards of commerce, to the effect that the rural counties of the state are assessed a little more than 50 per cent of their cash value. The Ionia board, as well as all other boards in the rural'counties, have been asfced to raise a certain amount of money, and to appoint representatives to represent their county before the state board of equalization, for the purpose of showing that the claims made by the two cities are untrue. The communication also warns the members that a fund of $30,000 has been raised in Wayne and Kent counties, and at the present time they have men in several of the agricultural counties, investigating the records. Several of the counties have already named representatives, and an effort will be made to have the representatives from the several counties work in harmony. The democratic members of the Saginaw county board of supervisors have passed a resolution asking for a grand jury to investigate the alleged electon frauds in Saginaw county in 1910. This action follows the request of the board that F. W. Beuthen, the third member of the poor board, resign. At the time that the alleged election frauds were supposed to have happened Judge Kelly Searls, of Oratiot county, said that there was evidence of fraud, but that the guilty parties would never be brought to justice. x The state consolidation board, a board that works about once a half century in this state, after a meeting in Lansing, approved the proposed consolidation of the Marquette ft Southern railroad and the Munising railroad, both located in the upper peninsula. The Cleveland Cliffs people own the minority of the stock in both lines which are short in length. The merger in no way effects competition in that section of the state. William Adams, sign painter but no lawyer, who was elected justice of the peace on the Socialist ticket at Flint, declares unconstitutional the law which says tbat Flint justices must have had three years' experience as attorneys.

NINE I N D I C T M E N T S A F F E C T T H I R T Y - F I V E FIRMS. Government Charges Restraint of Trade in Violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law By Agreement With One Another. Nine Indictmefrte charging 35-&*n&« with restraint of trade in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law were reagainst as many associations and 84 ,!(H<lividual8, comprising the so-called "wire trust," affiliated with the steel industry. Prominent among the defendants are Frank Jay Gould, of New York, president of the Old Dominion Iron & J*ail Works Co.; Herbert .L. Satterlee, a son-in-law of J. Pierpont Morgan, and William P. Palmer, president of the American Steel & Wire Co., subsidiary of the U. S. Steel Corporation. "What this suit charges," said District " Attorney Wise, "is a trade agreement in restraint of trade." The government does not seek to establish a physical or fiscal merger of the properties or interests indicted, but a series of pools to maintain prices and apportion territory, in elimination of competition, and so in violation of. the Sherman act. Thus the suit appears as a further earnest of the government's determination to deal rigorously with restrictive trade agreements. There is no indication, however, that evidence gathered by the bureau of corporations in its Investigation of the Steel corporation played any part in the indictments. Only two subsidiary companies of the U. S. Steel corporation are mentioned, the American Steel ft Wire Co. and the Trenton Iron Co. The general charges In all th> Indictments are the same, allowing for the difference in the business in which the defendants were engaged, It is set forth that the various associations organized under their association names and each elected a supervisor, and adopted rules and regula« tlonBT CHANGES IM FACULTY.

Having set out in haste, he had ample time to repent in leisure. The road, little used at any time, and practically abandoned since the opening of the railway, soon led away from the valley and ran in tortuous windings and ingenious doublings over a spur of John's mountain. A t the top of the spur it speedily lost its identity in a succession o f wood roads, and, after following several of the latter to their vanishing points, Philip gave up the struggle and determined to let the horse find the w a y if he could. In common w i t h unequestrian mankind in general, Philip shared the belief in the inerrant pathfinding instincts of horse; but after another hour of hesitant wandering, duri n g which time he had been thrice garroted by low-swrhging branches, and impartially bruised about the legs by t h e efforts of the horse to squeeze between close-growing trees, his confidence in the sagacity of the animal beg a n to waver. From doubt to certainty is but a step, and Philip's faith in h o n e * want, the w a y of all delusions wJMaa4s»0)0s*sy beast stumbled on the <edf*vW> ravine, aikt helplessly to the tmplia—m^mn*--+x>Ap<\ hy t h r o w in ff h i s vie)er Into a heap of stones, Philip was half stunned by the fall. and when he came to himself he found t h a t he had gained a sprained ankle and lost a horse. Remembering ruefully the maxim about great haste and small •peed, h,e got up with some difficulty and continued his wanderings afoot until the pain in his a'nklebecame unbearable. After that there was nothing for i t but to sit doyrn and wait for daylight, and he was about to resign himself to this comfortless alternative, when lu1 heard a cock crow. Chickens argued inhabitants, nnd Philip dragged himself painfully in the direction of the :8onnd until he came to the log cabin of a mountaineer. It was but a miserable hovel of a single room and a l o f t , and its indwellers were doubtless Bedouins in other respects than in their hospitaJJty; but of the latter Philip soon had grateful assurances. He was taken in and cared for; the man making « p a fire in the crumbling stone tireplace while the woman bathed his swoli e n ankle and called a half-grown boy i r o m the loft to g o out after red clay for A poultice. And afterward they wonld fcave made him take the only bed in the •••bin if he had not insisted upon sleepl a g o n the floor before the fire. When P h i l i p awoke the next morning h e found himself as completely a priso n e r a s even Sharpless could have defrfred. Walking w a s out of the quest i o n , and his host had neither a horse sior the disposition to g o to Qlenco to mm : u Mr*'- procure one, though his offers of hospitality were as generous as he knew how to make them. Philip guessed at the loan's reason t o r not wishing t o appear^ in Glenco w h e n the mountaineer offered him a potation from a j u g d r a w n from its hiding-place beneath the puncheon floor, and forbore to prase the point, contenting himself with a req u e s t that the boy might be allowed to <*atry' a letter t o Ailacoochee. The permission w u given, and Philip wrote a not* t o Duncan, telling him of the accident and urging him to spare no pa ins4 t o keep RUgrow out of the hands o f Sbaxprass and his emissaries during t h e «afo*eed armistice. T h i s he inclosed, in a line t o Protheroe, in which 8a begged the y o u n g engineer t o dever^ fhe message to the Scotchman. -JNot Waving an envelope, he took that f r o m Be»en'« letter, drawing hi* pencil through 1H« o w n n a m e and Writing P r o t a e w r t ^ b o v e if; and, after many • x p U s U a n d preciM instructions, t h e ' boy left the cabin o n Thorndyke's er- Taadv^An hour afterward he w a s sitt i n g ttoatewtedTy on a bowlder b y the aide «t t l * Almtfooebet road, w a i t i n g In tnmejtU kUttaea for the caame^coming hljn>,af. thj> nacosaity foc-iurtbor exertion. He found a proxy in the course of therforenoon, and in due time the letter was delivered, not to Protheroe, but to Mr. Jenkins Tench, who answered the bearer's inquiry as to the whereabouts of the engineer, and who kindly volunteered to convey tbe misfive to that gentleman's office 011 the fourth floor of the Guaranty building. XVI. L O V E V K R S U S I D E A L S . Duncan slept"tTfrougli the forenoon of t h e day following the journey to Glenco, being no longer a young man, and having spent rather more thau half the night on the mountain with Kilgrow. He was eating u late dinner when Klsie, from her place at the window .announced the arrival of u visitor. "Who is it, then?" asked Duncan, whose mind was burdened/ with premonitions of legal processes and writs of surrender all pointing toYYJirjL_tlili precious document left in his custody. "1 think he's coming here; it's no one we know. Yes, he's hitching his horse. He's a big man with a smooth face." Duncan guessed Sharpless, and proceeded to fortify his caution by greater deliberation w i t h his dinner. Elsie answered the visitor's knock, and presently ca/ne in with a square of cardboard. "It's Mr. Sharpless," she said. "Aye?" said Duncan. "Do ye gang in an' sit wi' him tbe whiles I'm finishin' the bit dinner." Elsie obeyed dutifully, but she stood in such awe of Kilgrow's a r c h e n e m y that the suave lawyer had extracted no more than a half-dozen monosyllables from heT when her father came to relieve her. "Mr. J a m e s Duncan, I presume," said the visitor, affably, rising to greet the farmer. "The same," replied Duncan. "Sit ye doon, Master Sharpless." And in the exchange of civilities Elsie gladly mad? her escape to the kitchen. "I drove over to see you on a little matter of business," said the lawyer, rightly judging that he would lose ground in any attempt to measure circumlocutory swords with the Scotchman. "I come from Mr. T h o m d y k e , and he refers me to you for some information in regard to John Kilgrow." "Aye?" queried Duncan, who thoughi hardest w h e n he said the least, and who was prepared in advance to discredit the statements of the town company's attorney even if they should appear to be self-evident truths. "Yes. Mr. Thorndyke was obliged to leave for New York this morning, and before he went we had a conference •about lli^ m a i l e r in whicn ne has bee 11 representing John Kilgrow. I hardly need tell you that, as professional men. we soon came to a satisfactory understanding, and Mr. Thorndyke w a s quite willing that I should settle the claim with his client direct. He referred mo to you for tlie particular.**, saying that it would be necessary to approach Kilgrow through you on account of a foolish fear on the part of the old man touching some ancient difficulty with the revenuo j>cop!c." "Did Master Thorndyke gic ye n hit of a letter to me?" asked Duncan, warily. "I spoke of it, but he said it wouldn't be necessary, l i e w a s very much hurried, and there was little time to spare. He was called home by telegraph, 1 understood." Duncan ruminated thoughtfully for some minutes, considering not so much what he should say as h o w he could say the least and learn the most. "An' what is it ye'll be wantin' o' me. Master Sharpless?" he finally inquired. "Nothing more than that you will see Kilgrow and arrange a meeting. I should be g l a d to entertain him in Ailacoochee, but if he does not wish to come to t o w n I can go t o him, if he will appoint a fhne and place." "But I'm na sure I'll see aukl Johnnie in t h e n e x t twal'month," objected Duncan. "Why, I understood from Mr. Thorndyke that he lived here near you somewhere." Duncan shook his head. "He has na house in these parts that I ken." Sharpless tilted his chair and slipped his hands into his pockets. "I understand your reluctance, Mr. Duncan," he said, with a smile that had softened more than o n e recalcitrant witness. "You will pardon m y not mentioning it sooner, but I had not thought of aski n g you fco serve us in this matter without compensation. It will be a thou* sand dollars i n y o u r pocket when you bring Kilgrow t o my office in Ailacoochee." Duncan's solemn face gave no intimation of the strife stirred up within him b y the lawyer's shameless proposal— a furious s t r u g g l e between cautious shrewdness and righteous indignation. F o r the first, end perhaps the last, time in his life, wrath got the better of prudence, nnd he burst o u t in a storm of broad Scotch invective that put a sharp conclusion t o t h e interview. "Ye'11 bribe auld J a m i e Duncan, will y e ? Ye'll tilt yetrsel' beck in y e t chair in a man's ain hoose an' pit a price 011 t h e held o' h i s frien'? Lat m e tell ye, nnce for a', Master Attorney, ye didna bid high eneuch' — there's na gowd eneuch a m o n g the hale scram'lin o* ye to buy ane hair o* Jdnnnie Keelgrow's held, d' ye k e n that, y e auld smoothfaced deil? T a k y e r dour face oot o' the hoose, before I'm forgettin' I'm a man o' peace an' a Chreestian! *' Sharpless w a s shrewd enough to see t h a t he had hopelessly ruined his case w i t h the irate Scot, and he w a s wise enough t o k n o w that he would probably make m a t t e r s worse by attempti n g to explain. He g o t away as soon a s he could, followed to the threshold b y the angry farmer, w h o continued to break the vials of his wrath over the lawyer's head aa l o n g as the latter w a s within bearing. After Sharpleaa had driven a w a y .^Duncan found that an explosion o f anger does not always clear t h e mental atmosphere; and at a t i n e when he felt t h e pressing need of a o o o l head t o d deliberate jttd**Be*t* he e©*WT do n o t h i n g but walk the floor and call d o w n anathemas upon the heud of the offender. Believing no word of Sharpleas' story, he yet.hadU* vague fear that something was amiss with Thorndyke; and he was glad enough when, late in tbe afternoon, Protheroe rode up to the farmhouse. Duncan's first question was of Philip. "I supposed he was here; he hasn't been in town for two days. I came by the hotel and brought these letters, t h i n k i n g ihat hi* mi^hf. w a f i t thwtU-" A greiit ft»ur seized upon Duncan, "llobbie, man, are ye sure he didna go to N e w York this morn?" "I don't think he did. They said at the hotel that he hadn't been in since day before yesterday, and they'd know 't if he started on a journey this morning.

Duncan's fear was dispelled, but a new onC-i^me.quickly t o tuku it» plao*, I who sent him into the danger. He— he said I was resj)onsibie." Protheroe never knew the strength of his Jove until thai moment, but the gentler emotion was mingled with a dash of Kouteraptuous anger for the man who could be so pusillanimous as to lay the burden of his responsibilities upon the tender conscience of a young girl, and his resentment spoke bei^n: he could muzzle it. "That was ungenerous," he said. Oku iurimd awuy +0 the- vrindov* again, and her voice w i s unsteady when she answered him. "You mustn't say that; you don't understand; he was very unhappy and discouraged when he said it." l'rotheroe told himself that his conelusions were verified in so many words, and yet he had to grapple fiercely with the .spirit of lawlessness prompting him to apostatize once for all by telling her that she was more to him than she HOHM ever Ix; to Thorndyke, or to anyone else. When he could trust himself to apeak lie said, quietly: "Don't grieve; we'll liud him all right; I'll iind liiin and bring him back to you." fie meant to go when ho had said it, and he might have kept his resolution if she had not looked up into his face with her eyes full of trouble. "Pleasj don't—" she began, but the ungovernable impulse slipped the leash, and for . a moment l'rotheroe put the cup of possession to his lips and drauk deeply, talcing her in his arms and covering the burning cheeks with his kisses. Then a sudden sense of the enormity of hU transgression overwhelmed him, and, releasing her, he ran from the house and rlung himself into the saddle to gallop away toward Allacooehe-e with the ruins of a shattered ideal pelting him at every bound of the horse. 1.TO BE CONTINUED.] PtoMedos't"- and he began another battle with his invincible ctfution. Meanwhile Protheroe improved the silent interval by trying to learn from Elsie's face what she t h o u g h t or cared about Thorndyke's disappearance. Much, every way, he concluded, when Duncan spoke again. "Robbie, lad, the time's come when I'm in sair need o' good counsel. Ye winna lat yer place male ye boggle ower a bit o' advice?" "With the town company, you mean? I discharged myself this morning; b u t if I hadn't it would make no difference where I could be of service to you." "The gude Lord be thankit!" exclaimed Duncan, fervently; and then he proceeded Lo 1'elatH iu-fhoir proper or der the incidents in the history of Kilgrow's wrong and Thorndyke's ipiest. ending with an account of the attorney's visit to the farmhouse. Protheroe listened attentively, and he ^ a s ready with hid answer when Duncan finished. "Sharpless lied," he said. "Thorndyke wouldn't turn the case over to the company, nor would he abandon it just as he had got the whip hand of his opponents. They've spirited him o u t a f the way so tlieyvcan scare Kilgrow into a cheap settlement; and Sharplesscaim? to you because he didn't know where 10 find the old mountaineer." rrotheroe spoke to Duncan, but he kept his eyes fixed upon the face of the y o u n g girl, who sat eagerly listening. lie w a s trying another experiment in physiognomy, and the result was not altogether comforting. "Ye dinna think they'd harm the lad, do y e ? " "I imagine it would depend upon circumstances. The object would be to get rid of him until they could treat with Kilgrow. ' You know Thorndyke better than I do; would he be likely to g o peaceably?" Duncan shook his head gravely. "Na, I'm thinkin' be wouldna do that; he'd be mair than likely to gie 'em a deal o' trouble." Tbe experiment was a cruel one, but Protheroe continued it unpityingly. "In that case you can judge for yourself by w h a t w a s done day before yesterday. Sharpies* is thoroughly unscrupulous; and Thorndyke could send him to the penitentiary. It's kidnaping at the best, and it may be something much worse." The engineer found the result of his experiment and his own punishment in the expression of horror that crept over Elsie's face when his inference became plain. It hurt him more than he cared t o admit. All t h r o u g h the long summer, while Philip and Elsie were apparently journeying hand in hand along the road in which h e had unselfishly set their feet, Protheroe bad hugged his ideal, playing the heroic part of the high-minded lover w h o generously effaces himself in order that the object of his affections may be free to walk in a path of her own choosing. It w a s an unjoyous task, t h i s that he had set himself, andhe was humiliated by the conviction, repeated and emphasized every time he saw ELsie, that it gained nothing in gladsomeness with the lapse of time. In such case, absence seemed to be the proper emollient; but when Duncan asked his help, he said nothing about going away, and entered heartily into the farmer's plans for warning Kilgrow and for beginning an immediate search for the missing man. i t was agreed that the y o u n g engineer should try to trace Thorndyke from Glenco or Allacooche while Duncan made a journey to the Pocket; and when the farmer had departed on his errand, Protheroe turned back to the house for a final word w i t h Elsie. Sbe w a s alone in the sitting-room when he entered, standing at the window w h i c h looked out upon the road. He saw that she had been crying, and he went to her quick'y and took her hand in both of his. "Can 1 say anything to comfort you before I go?" b e askep. She shook her head. "What is it, Elsie? does it mean more t o you than the possible danger of a friend?" MYea. much more." The frankness o f Mr reply staggered him. " I t was FOG A BLESSING. Natural Preventive of Froat and a HleM« lag- to the Orchardlst. Nature provides in the blanket of fog a means of preventing the extreme lowtemperature which would otherwise result. More than n century a g o T h o m a s JeiTerson, who appears to have been the first to notice tlicse peculiarities of frost, wrote: "I have known frosts so severe as to kill the hickory trees around about Monticello, and yet not injure the tender fruit blossoms then in bloom 011 the top and higher parts of the mountain, and in the course of 40 years during which it has been settled there have lx>en but two instances of a general loss of fruit on it, while in the circumjacent country the fruit has escaped but twice in I he lafct seven yeTrrsr"- In California last year a large amount of fruit was saved by following certain "fogbuild'ing" methods. Mr. W. II. Hammond, of the United States weather bureau, pointed out to the fruit growers the live essential ways to prerent frost: First, by diminishing the radiation ; second, by increasing the moisture in the. air and raising the dewpoint; third, by adding heat to the air; fourth, by removing the cold air— actually draining it off, and fifth, by mixing Uie air and removing the cold air lrom the ground. Smudge tires are based upon the first method and are fairly effective, but, the great improvement consists in the introduction of large amounts of moisture in the vaporous state. YVlwm this vapor condenses or, in other words, when the fog forms, an enormous amount of heat is given off, generally at the very height at which it is most needed. Fog and frost occur when the skies are clear and little or no air is stirring. A strong wind so thoroughly mixes fehe air that there is little chance for cold, dry air to settle in the hollows and low phices, Fog, then, as the natural preventive of frost, may be a blessing to theorohardist, but there are others, particularly travelers, to whom the fog can be but a source of annoyance and danger.—Harper's Magazine. BEVERAGE FOR SUMMER TIME How to Make Tea Punch, a Refreshing Drink If It Is Mixed With Proper Care. Tea punch is a much used beverage for summer porch, tenniB and golf teas, and properly made Is most refreshing. For a quantity of punch make a quart of rich, heavy sugar jyiMB* ajid_..wiiiie„iial-noux ax-ex XWA cupful of orange Juice, one cupful of pineapple juice and half a cupful of strawberry or currant or raspberry or cherry Juice or a mixture of these if preferred. Let stand until cool,, then add one cupful of chopped ice to thoroughly chill. Meanwhile make one pint of Btrong tea, using a mixture of English breakfast and Orange Pekoe tea If possible. The strength should be given by the proportion of tea used and not by the length of time the water stands on the leaves. Take a full teaspoonful of tea for each cupful of water and let this water be freshly boiled and just come to a boll. The utmost care must be used in makiing this tea, for the success of the punch depends upon the flavor of the tea which should be there supporting the fruit flavors, yet without astringency or perhaps actual detection as tea. TO SERVE POTATOES. Kan Ov«T t h e Bread. We had the g a t i n t l e t y e t t o r u n . a s t h e firing of the communists was still heavy in the neighborhood. The bullets were whistling so angrily down one of the streets which c u t the Rue de la Bienfaisance at right angles that a number of servant girls, who wished to go to a baker's shop on the other side, were afraid to venture over. The difficulty was turned--in this way: There were soldiers on one side of the dangerous crossing and maidservants on the other. The maidservants threw their money to the soldiers and the soldiers purchased the bread and flung it acrotw to the maids. This maneuvers excited n good deal of merriment in spite of the danger with, which it was attended. At times a girl would throw a piece of money short and a soldier would have to fish for it with his bayonet awl even, amid peals of laughter, venture out to pick it up.

A Bread Help. During cold weather many women who do their own baking find it difficult to get their bread to raise without the sponge getting chilled. With this recipe I make the sponge at ten o'clock and the bread is done In time for supper. Take six medium ailed potatoes, slice thin, and boil in two quarts water; mash in water and add one-half cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of lard, three cents' worth of compressed yeast or one-half cupful of dry yeast In water; flour •nough to make a stiff batter.

Now get a few small macaroons. Cut the cake and put into tbe dish you are going to serve it in. Place the macaroons around and between the cake and steep the whole thing in port or sherry for two hours. Now make a boiled custard or sweet cornstarch pudding, not too stiff and flat vored with vanilla, will do. Pour this over the cake and then on top of that pour w h l p p e i cream and stick on top either blanched almonds or candied cherries. This is rich and delicious and will serve, in custard cups or small dishes, twelve people. Brownstone Front Cake. T w o squares of chocolate grated, one-half cup of milk, yolk of one egg.

Then it would break out again and it spread all over his head. All the hair came out and his head was scaly all over. Then his face broke out all over In red bumps and it kept spreading until It w a s on his handa and arms. I bought several boxes of ointment, gave him blood medicine, and had two doctors t o treat bfm, but he got worse all the time. He had it about six months when a friend told me about Cuticura. I sent and got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. In three days after using them ho began to Improve. He began to take long naps and to stop scratching his head. After taking two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of Ointment and three cakes of Soap ha was sound and well, and never had any breaking out^of any kind. His hair came out in little curia all over his head. I don't think anything else would have cured him except Cuticura. "I have bought Cuticura Ointment and Soap several times since to uat) for cuts and sores and have never known them to fail to cure what I put them, on, L think Cuticura is a great •*emedy_-and would advise any nna to use it.

Little Jean had visited one of the large summer amusement parks for the first time, and with the courage possessed only by those girls whose playmates are boys and girls older than themselves, she had not hesitated, when invited, to take a ride on one of the "thrillers" that aboUnd in such places. To her mother, on her return from the park, she confided the emotions she had experienced as she swept round the curves of the "figure eight" with her elder brothers. "Mamma," she said, "when I went round those awful turns so fast I felt Just as if I had freckle* on my stomach!"—Youth's CompejUoft. i The really great never seek notoriety, neither do they like to have It thrust upon them.

Suddenly Ins ley opened his eyes wider than they bad been opened during his sleeplessness. A light passed across one of the windows of the church. He went to the door, opeued it and stood looking out. All was still. Not a house was lighted save by the moon. Not a living creature was in sight The light appeared again. This time it was stationary for a few seconds, then seemed to have been extinguished. Insley hurried into his clothes and ran as fast as his legs would carry him to the church. As he proceeded he thought that he had better see than be seen. He. knew the church well and felt confident that he could enter by a basement window. A tall tree cast a shadow on his approach. Finding the window, he crawled in stealthily, and, guided by sufficient light from without to enable him to see his way, be ascended a staircase leading up into the vestibule. Opening a door only so far a s would enable him to peep into the body of the church, he saw a strange sight. Two men were standing by a window, the moon shining full in their faces. The one was young and of city meln—that is, so far as insley could see by moonlight alone. The other was dressed in the garb of a clergyman. The men were talking, but he could not hear what they said. Now and again the younger man would take out his watch and look at the time impatiently. Then Insley heard a knock at the church door. The men heard i t too, and the younger hurried to the front of the church. The watcher, that he might not be seen, descended the stairs, but not so far that he could not know what passed in the vestibule. The young man opened the church door and admitted a woman.

Insley entered and passed in shadow part way down an aisle entering one of the hlgtTpeWs. The t w o men and the woman were In shadow, but presently Insley saw one of the men and the woman standing in a flood4 of moonlight, With their backs toward him, while t h e man In clerical garb faced him and them.

Besides, the pastor was not a person to wed couples In his church at midnight and if he did would not require a light upon his book by which to read the marriage service.

This state of things Is not confined to any one section or division of the Old World, either. Prom the west of Ireland where the tourist sees women helping with the grain harvests and aiding in the cutting of the peat all the way to Russia «n\ere.ihe peasant women are called rat to perform every sort of labor the fields, the same story is told by the sights which meet the eye in every rural district. The Americans who have rather advanced ideas as to the toll which women should be ~~ permitted to perform are treated to their greatest surprise in some of the more primitive provinces of central Europe where it is no uncommon Eight to see a women "hitched" to a plow at It were, side by side with a,horse or other animal, while her liege lord trudges behind guiding the plow. However a rival of this state of things is to be seen occask J J ^ n i 1 r l K ) r < pmmjgjlr and her daughters may be seen on the dragging a barge or canal boat along tff treats of a/neavy rope while the hefty head «f the household sits comfortably at the tiller of the craft. It must be admitted however that few of the European women who work in the fields appear in the least discontented with their lot. To be sure the explanation in many cases may be found in the fact that they know no other life and seemingly give nary a thought to the possibilities of an easier existence. Their mothers and their grandmothers before them went into the fields in this wise and with a proverbial adherance to precedent and custom they accept the responsibilities as a matter of course. At the same time there are some of these women who have given thought to the subject without having the pondering make any difference in their mental attitude. On the contrary some of them grow actually aggressive in their contention that it is the duty of a wife to be her husband's > life partner and coworker in fact as well as in name and that if the husband's occupation is tilling the soil she should lend a hand in the field work" just as she would expect to stand for hours daily behind the counter if her helpmate were a small shopkeeper. Field work by women in the United States is not so common an occurrence as it is on the other aide of the Atlantic, but neither is it sufficiently unuiuafto cause much/comment and it has increased J^eatl^; both in volume and variety in receni-yea^.V^Tb^te 1s the difference t*tcu;:h that ^j6^j^'iaa fleTd as performed by such AjaiericanV^Pien' as- engage in it does not savor of dmd»ef>j»aS4oes UMioh of that abroad and furthermore It is- engaged in, for the most part, purely because of personal preference. That iV sieve la no masculine compulsion figuring in tatter nor is American farmer's wife or \er misled by the fallacy that she is not ler share if she does not perform manual labor In the fields under cultivation. About the only circumstances In which we find the women of our farming communities going into' the* fields not exactly through a choice of their own is at harvest season when there is a scarcity- of labor. It sometimes happens that farmers., ^Jyflaftty;. thdae ta.-tHe more'isolated sections or tne west and middle west, find it impossible to secure, for love or money, the needed hardest hands and; rather than see the ripened grata lost for lack of harvested their wives, sistertl and daughters have,—all credit to them for it-tfeomeUo the raacue a ^ performed the work of aaea in flPhaAee* fliHd\ T In riot a few. inataneet wotfiea vtfftiut«fT» h a t e under jetfah cUtahnttaneea denied Iftdfc'r eiatfttnf ant? the" 'almost4 unanimous verdict is that the advantage from the standpoint of utility more than counterbalance any detriment i n appearances. at baa been aaid, most of the-^Ameriean who arejTteday* wotkiog In the fields are so purely because they prefer it to some meant of making livelihood. This i t true berifttrrtcwr wlfty ff they el taking up "claims" and In a surprising number of cases of late these women have "worked" these claims and developed them into fine farms with very little outside help. A recent case In point was that of three former school teachers who, entirely by their own exertions, successfully carried out a "homesteading" project fifteen miles from the nearest habitation. Farmer women too. are doing more work in the fields than ever before, for all that the easier circumstane.es of the prosperous twentieth century farmer has brought automobiles and pianos and telephones and a host of home comforts that might naturally be expected to take the minds of the women folk off such things as farm work. In this sphere, too, the explanation of the presence in the fields of many women who are not driven there by necessity is found in the fascination of earning "one's own money." It has been the custom from irpy ****** v*#M c#/io/?*N a y ^ / w w \ earn nearly as much as seamstresses or clerks in stores and it is true likewise of the increasing number of women who are engaging in truck gardening and fruit raising and like occupations. However, perhaps the most interesting phase of the whole situation is the vast increase among the women in the fields of those who are not only there on their own initiative but who are also proprietors as it were rather than hired laborers or even co-workers who subscribe to the policy of family co-operation. The present "back to the soil" movement Is no doubt responsible in great measure for the increase in this class of women in the fields, and influence has likewise been exerted by the growing realization that a woman can. woo health quite as effectually by farm work close to nature (provided, of course, she does not overtax her strength) as she can by sitting all day on a hotel portico at the most famous of health resorts. We see varied manifestations of this new fever of American women to get into the fields for pleasure as well as profit. On the one hand we have the spectacle of women, who must needs be selfsupporting, buying and working,—often without any male help whatever,—small truck and poultry farms located sufficiently near some large city to insure a good market for the produce of the farm at first hand and mayhap without the payment of a slice to the commission merchant, providing the woman farmer can cultivate her own circle of customers. To go to the Other extreme we see at every government "land opening." unmarried women in increasing numbers ***a**e>e%»*%e*e*a%a%»e%a»%e/%»ae>»%e>»%»»%%»»»»< LET THINGS GO The ability to rest is an art. Most women either rush and tear at things all day long and never give their overstrained nerves a rest or they are Indolent and indulge In an afternoon sleep, which makes them dull. A cat nap of a quarter of an hour after luncheon is the best beauty preservativatpogslbte, ~-Bus sleeping is not always retting. Neither it doing nothing. A change of view or of occupation is often the greatest rest and, if the art of relaxation has been mastered, sitting with the hands limply in the lap, with the head resting against the back of the chair and the feet on a footstool will remove the strain from tired nerves. Many women find going to the theater a rest, and others make a habit of keeping a little knitting- or crochet work handy and can quite dismitt the cares of the day as soon at the fingers start making music with the needles. Blessed Indeed is she who can sit down In the midst of dirt and confusion to finish a good book. There la a housekeeping horror who cannot tee any brightness In a ray of sunshine while there Is a layer of dust on the piano.

Women who had only spending money heretofore from this source suddenly found themselves with independent bank accounts of their own. The to-be-expected sequel was the result. The women of the farms receiving such object lessons of the profits that might be theirs if they took up these "side lines" in real earnest have lost no time in exploring the possibilities of the situation. Many a rural housewife who formerly kept a dozen chickens now has hundreds with an equipment of incubators and all the other aids to such activities. Bee keeping has likewise had a boom and so has the raising of pigeons, the cultivation of early and late vegetables under glass and numerous other kindred activities which, though making no undue strain upon a woman's strength, and materially to the bulk of her pocketbook. Not a few of the "abandoned farms" of New England which have lately been rejuvenated owe the transformation to women who have worked out their salvation through a sort of intensive farming in which more often than not the fair sex have had little assistance,— for, be it known, hired help is as scarce in some of the farming sections of New England at It is many hundreds of miles farther west. An interesting side light on the situation is that oor up-to-date agricultural colleges are now fitting giflB for work in the fields or anywhere else on the farms. In these institutions the young women are studying side by side with their brothers all the way through and saining a clearer Insight than has heretofore been possible into the practical side of farm husbandry. It is a decided innovation, this plan of teaching the young women, from a scientific basts, all that can be put to use on a farm,—inside or outside the farm house. Under this scheme the farm girl acquires knowledge relative to the soil, plant growth and animal life. In short she learns (from practical demonstration as well at out of books) all that can be taught .about field agriculture, dairy practice, etc., at well as the mysterlet of cookery and dressmaking and home management. Incidentally it may be noted that much attention is being devoted to fruit raising, an occupation which teems to be proving attractive to a great number of the feminine recruits who have lately taken to tilling the toll at a meant of livelihood. ******* i n ^ n n w u i m w M for his slippers and sigh for the lqtt ease of hit bachelor den. 7 Make yourself comfortable and everybody around ycu—that it a good password for this life.

This_ald-fashioned recipe requires two quarts of milk, five tablespoonfuls of Indian meal, three-quarters of a cupful of molasses, a pinch of salt, a tablespoonful of butter and a little ground ginger. Scald one quart of milk, add the molasses, butter, salt and ginger; moisten the corn meal With a little cold milk, add to the ingredients in the saucepan and scald well. Turn into a well-buttered pudding dish and place in a very moderate oven. Add the remainder of the cold milk, a little at a time, during the baking, stirring the mixture. Bake from four to five hours and serve with hard sauce or sweet cream with a little maple Bugar added. Washing Fluid. Sal soda (washing soda) one pound, stone lime, one-half pound—lime must not be crumbly—water five quarts; boll a short time, stirring occasionally. Then let it settle; pour off clear fluid in stone jug and cork for use. Have your boiler full of water, add one-half bar laundry soap, and when near scalding add one teacupful of fluid. Wring clothes through water put in boiler and boil 30 minutes, then put clothes in tub, rub lightly through suds if you wish, although It is unnecessary. This fluid will not darken clothes, at the lime bleaches, you may first rub through remaining suds, then colored clothes— it brightens colore. It saves time, labor, clothes and soap. Tomato Jelly Salad. Soak half box gelatine in cold water, place one quart can tomatoes in saucepan, add one dry pepper (whole), one onion tlicedl tablespoonful chopped parsley, tablespoonful chopped celery; salt to taste. Cook until onion is tender; push through strainer; bring to a boll and-turn over gelatine; beat well; turn into small molds and cool. Serve on lettuce leaves and mayonnaise. Make sandwiches of rye bread and Swiss cheese; put in oven and toast; serve immediately. ' Creole Baked Fish. Cod or any firm-fleshed flth will answer.

"Ben," said his friend, waking up from a reverie in which he had been gazing abstractedly at the shiny expanse of Ben's skatin'-rink-for-flles, "is there nothing you could do for your baldness?" Ben, by the way, is only forty. "No, lad!" he replied with decision. "Fifteen years ago I was courting strong, and I tried lots o* things. But about that time t' prince of Wales—Edward, you know—come* to open t' new hospital, and I said to myself as soon as I saw him liftln' his hat to f crowd, 'Ben, my lad, tha can give it up as a bod job, and save thy brass.

H A O N T 8 E E N IT SINCE. THE little miss has a much wider choice in hats then she had a few years ago. Since it beca:ne the fashion to copy shapes made for grown-ups, in small sizes, for young heads, chilciren's millinery has become much mqrp tntor-?aHrfg—to—the—mtr^-JtrBtrottSr-light weight satin ribbon is chaser and much less taxing In its demands on the milliner. The variety In shapes makes it possible, also, to suit the child's individual style. Two good designs are shown here, suitable for girls from about 8 to 16 years old. They are made on the familiar bell and helmet shapes and only differ from these shapes made for grown people, In the matter of size. The bell-shaped hat appears to be covered with silk, but would be just as effective In a braid. It is covered with rows of flne-meshed lace, alternating with motifs In flower forms made of braid, t h e petals of each motif is filled with—a^flgured net. A wreath of small ribbon roses, set in millinery foliage and showing more buds than blossoms, is divided and placed part on the upper right brim and the under left brim. The design is particularly good for girls who wear curls, White is the color chosen in this model, but any pale tint is pretty.

This is a serious matter to the husband or father who is solicitous for the future of his dear ones. Often the heart trouble is caused by an unexpected thing and can bfe corrected if taken in time and properly treated.

The same design is pretty with small flowers set In the ribbon band at intervals or with four rosettes like that at the front, dividing the band into four lengths. These little shapes stay on well and provide some shade for the eyes. Wide-brimmed Leghorns and other straws are never out of fashion and probably never will be. Lace bonnets with simple outlines and fluffy lace hats are worn every year. The lingerie hats made of embroideries and of flowered fabrics like dimity and cretonne are ideal for misses, made in simple, youthful fashion. The time has gone by when it was 'hard to choose a • hat for the little girl or young miss. She is sure to be pleased among the many styles that the designers of millinery have this season made for her. GOWNS FOR THE SUMMER Wide Choice of Colors Is Allowed for the Costumes of the Prevailing Season. Gowns of liberty satin are practical as well as effective, and quite as many colored as black ones are made, while the same can be said of the soft-finished taffeta silks. Many of these gowns have jackets to match, but there is' always a waist to match the skirt, fashioned in such manner that the appearance is given of a one-piece gown. This style Is perfectly possible on warm days as well as cool, for yoke and sleeves may be of transparent material. Extremely practical, also, are the coat-and-skirt costumes for cool days. In plain color, with trimmings of striped black and white, there is quite a new model with which fa worn a lace waist of white over the color of the gown. It it of filet and Irish lace combined. It Is not necessary that real lace be used to carry out the model satisfactorily, for there never was a time when so many effective imitation laces could be bought at such low prices.—Harper's Batar. Restoring Faded Flowers, One may freshen faded artificial flowers by retiming them with water colors. After they are tinted; curl the petals again with the blunt side of a case knife. Notice how the petals curl back before tinting them and* then curl in a similar manner and do not apply the paints too wet or it will be impossible to obtain good results. This Is the best home method of restoring flowers that have become faded. The New Gloves. The smart French fancy which should reach here soon Is the wearing of gray suede gloves in the morning or with all Informal costumes. These have one button at the wrist and are then turned widely over the hand Into a cuff which is lined with Empire green or Egyptian braid. It it quite a fashion ot the moment' to have this cuff of the gkrve carry out the color scheme of the costume. A Typical Shaker. vliet, N. Y. They number IB societies in the United States and have a membership of about 1,728. The Shakers believe in spiritualism, practice celibacy, and community of goods, oppose war, refrain from oaths and denounce baptism and the Lord's Supper. They are noted for their frugality, integrity and* thrift In Mount Lebanon, their largest community, there are several families made up of 150 persons, including 35 boys and girls. The other societies are made up in about the same ratio as the one at Mount Lebanon. The announcement that they are winding up their financial affairs in Ohio and New York calls attention to_ the nnal failure of one of the longest existing of the many communistic experiments that have been tried in this country. In the years following the American Revolution, more than a score of communistic sects and colonies were established in the United States. Some of them appealed to the sensualities and some of them were plain swindles. The Shakers held out no sensual or financial allurements and it Is surprising that they have endured so long, except on the theory that their simplicity In living attracted recruits and made them the sole survivors ot all these social experiments. With their passing will close one of the most Interesting chapters of social experiments in the history of any country. ANOTHER SACRED CALF BORN This Makes the Fourteenth W h i c h Has Come Into the Chicago Zoo Zebu Family.

Getting an Autograph. • Munich boy of fourteen, who had seen and admired many of Rudolf von Seltz's paintings, was anxious to secure the painter's autograph, but did not know how to go about it. After much thought he wrote a letter, stating that he had sent a case of wine to the professor's address, and wanted to know whether It had been received. Thinking the matter of sufficient importance the painter did not write, but called at the address given, met the boy's mother, and the fraud soon became apparent. The boy was thorougly scolded, and next day received this autograph note: It often happens here on earth That little rogues to sreat ones grow.

I alius tole her that the principal troubles we git Into in this world is pokin' our nosea into other people's affairs. When Rogers and his wife come to occupy the form adjoining ourn I tole Mandy to let 'em alone. Mebbe she could 'a' done it if it hadn't bin thet we could hear 'em, qua^relln' clean across the fields a quarter of a mile away. That started Mandy. She waa continually a-llstenin' and a-watchin' and a-spyla' to see if she couldn't find out somep'n. It was about the middle of summer when Mandy's mother that lived in the adjlnin' county tuk sick. She kep' a-sendln' for Mandy, but Mandy wouldn't go without me. I got in the airly crops and was gittin' ready fur the later ones. Then one day a letter come sayin' Mandy's mother waa a-dyln'. That settled it; Mandy bed to go, and I hed to go with her. One mornin' airly I put the gray mare In the buggy to drive Mandy over to say goodby to her mother. We hadn't slep' more'n half the night from hearln' the quarrelin' goin' on between the Rogerses. Jist as we got on to the road, Mandy, who couldn't keep her eyes off our neighbor's house, saw Rogers go outen his house carryln' the limp figure of a woman in his arms. "Law sakes!" says Mandy. "He's killed her." "Supposin' he has," says I. "'Tain't none of our business." And, whippin' up the gray mare, I druv along in a hurry so's Mandy couldn't see any more of it. Waal, Mandy's mother was a consarned long time dyin'. Mandy wouldn't stay there without me, she wouldn't come home with me and she wouldn't let me come home without her. Consequence was we was gone a long while. After Mandy's mother died, knowin* the crops was sufferin', I got home as soon as possible. As we was) a drivin' along Mandy says, says •he, "Wonder ef they've discovered the murder," and I says, says I, "Jest you keep your mouth shet." I was mighty busy after that and didn't think about nothin' but gittin' in my corn, but Mandy she went snoopln' round to find out what was known about the murder. All she could find out was that Mrs. Rogers hed gone away. She asked where Mrs. Rogers bed gone, but no one knowed anything 'bout it. Fearin' sbe'd git us into trouble, I tried to stop her questionin', but It wasn't no use. She Jest talked and talked till the wimmen suspicioned somethin', then they turned in and did a lot of questionin' on their side. I stopped her Jest in time to prevent her tellln' the whole story; but, considerin' she'd talked so much and nobody knowed where Mrs. Rogers hed gone, people began to suspect thar was sometbin' in it. First thing I knowed Rogers was arrested for murderin' his wife. He couldn't tell where she was, 'cos he said he didn't know. They war en't livin' happy together, and after a bigger quarrel 'n any they'd had before she'd left him. But everybody knowed that, and Mandy *n me knowed a good deal more. Somehow the idee hed got abroad that he'd murdered her after one o' their fights, and the authorities was determined to find out about i t When the case was ready for trial •ore enough a constable loft a paper at the house, summonln' me and Mandy as witnesses. "There you be," I says to her. "It you'd 'a' kep'yer tongue in yer head you wouldn't 'a'been pestered to tell about somep'n as don't consarn you." Jil'm perfectly willin'," she answered, "to tell what I know—it's my duty. That's what you want to shirk, Elisha; you don't appear to reckon you've got any responsibility in the gov'ment o' yer country." "A man," says I, "as can't govern his wife's tongue isn't fit to bother his head about his share of governin' millions of men, women and children." This shet her up fur a few minutes. The day of the trial come on. Thar wasn't no real evidence agin Rogersonly circumstances pintln' to somep'n. I was put on the stand and questioned, but I didn't hev to say nothin' about seein' Rogers carryln' out a body Jist about dawn. I'd tole Mandy, too, not to tell it If she wasn't asked. But, beln' sworn to tell the hull truth and nothin' but the truth, she out with i t The hull court spectators and all, waa electerfled. Rogers started up to say somep'n, but he was ordered to keep quiet Funny, isn't It, they won't let the person most interested tay what he knows. Waal, the prosecutin' attorney was a-thunderin1 agin the murder when the court was electerfled ag'in. The murdered woman walked in. ".ledge," she says, MI seen in a paper that my hu*band wns a-goin' to be tried fur killin* me. I Jlst come back to say that If there had V been any klllta' Id 'a'done'it mysplf." The court udjonrned and the prisoner was set free. "I'd like to know," says Mandy to Rogers, "whose body you carried out that mornin'." "The crows waa eatln' the oorn a*d 1 wanted to atop 'em. That body yea teen waa a scarecrow." e J L s s T T I J s C J i ifflaith Job Printing Department is Always Prepared to do All Kinds of .. P R I N T I N G . .

After walking about for some time, discussing topics suggested by the place, the two set out on a tour of inspection, the man, apparently an official, Inviting the visitor to go over the asylum. At length they reached the foot of a flight of steps, up which the guide led the way, and at the top the visitor found himself out upon the roof, a height of more than a hundred feet from the ground. As they gazed below bis companion startled him suddenly by proposing to see who could jump farthest toward the grounds! Not until then had it dawned upon the visitor that his guide was mad. Mercifully he was a man of ready wit, and his wit saved the madman's life. "Oh, anybody can Jump down," said the vis* itor. "Let us go down and see who can jump to the top/' The •madman thought It a good Idea, and, retracing their steps, the two began their Jump from the earth instead of from the roof. The Mammoth Cave Rat. The cavern rat found in the Mammoth cave Is of a soft bluish color, with white neck and feet It has enormous eyes, black as night, but quite unprovided with an iris. These eyes are perfectly Insensible to light, and when the experiment bas been made of catching a cavern rat and turning it loose in bright sunlight it blunders about, striking Itself against everything, is unable to provide itself with food and finally falls down and dies. In its native depths, however. It is able to lead a comfortable enough existence, as its enormously long whiskers are so extremely sensitive that they enable it to find its way rapidly through the darkness. The principal food of tho cavern rat consists of a kind of large cricket of a pal* yellow color and, like moat other cave dwellers, itself perfectly blind. The Li lie*. Two thousand years ago It waa supposed that water lilies closed their flowers at night and retreated far under water, to emerge again at sunrise. This waa Pliny's view, and It was not impeached until the English botanist John Bay In 1686 drat doubted its veracity. The groat lily of Zanzibar, one of the grandest of the lily family, opens its flowers, ten inches wide, between 11 in-the morning and 5 in the afternoon. They are of the richest royal blue, with from 160 to 200 golden stamens in the center, and they remain open four or fire days.

"Certainly, by all means," said the judge quickly. The captain turned .aatt confronted Annie. Addressing her in his customary aggressive manner, he said: "You promised Judge Brewster that you'd produce the woman who called at Underwood's apartment the night of the shooting?" Annie made no reply, but looked at the lawyer. The captain grinned as he added: "The witness wants instructions, judge." "You can be perfectly frank, Mrs. Jeffries," said the lawyer reassuringly. "We have no desire to conceal anything from Capt Clinton." Annie bowed. "Yes," she said slowly; "1 promised Judge Brewster that she would come here to-night.M . "Did she promise to come?" growled the captain. "Yes." "Well, where is she?" he demanded.

If this woman ever does get here, the moment she leaves the house Maloney has instructions to arrest her, but I guess we needn't worry. She has probably forgotten her appointment. Some people are very careless in that respect." Moving toward the door, he added: "Well, If it's all the same to you, I'll wait downstairs. Good-night." He went out, his hat Impudently tilted back on his head, a sneer on his lips. The banker turned to the judge. "I told you how it would be," he said scornfully. "A flash In the pan!" The lawyer looked askance at Annie. "You are sure she will come?" he asked. "Yes, I am sure!" With concern she added: "But the disgrace^ of arrest! It will, kill her! Oh, Judge, don't let them arrest her!" "Tell me who she Is!" commanded the lawyer sternly. It was the first time he had spoken to her harshly and Annie, to her dismay, thought she detected a.note of doubt in his voice. Looking toward the banker, she replied: "I can't tell you just now—she'll be here soon—" "Tell me now—I insist," said the lawyer with growing impatience. "Please—please don't ask me!" she pleaded. Mr. Jeffries made an angry gesture. "As I told you, Brewster, her whole story is a fabrication trumped up for some purpose—God knows what object she has in deceiving us! I only know that I warned you what you always may expect from people of her class." The Judge said nothing for a monient. Then quietly lie whispered the banker: "Go into my study for a few moments, will you, Jeffries?" The banker made a gesture, as if utterly disgusted with the whole business. "I am going home," he said testily. "I've had a most painful eveningmost painful. Let me know the result of your Investigation as soon as possible. Good night. Don't disturb me to-night, Brewster. To-morrow will do." He left the worn In high dudgeon, banging the door behind him. Annie burst into a laugh. "Don't disturb him!" she mimicked. "He's going to get all that's coming to him."

The lawyer went on: "Mrs. Jeffries, Jr., wishes to speak to you. I said I thought there'd be, no objection; you don't mind. May she?" , "Yes," murmured Alicia. "Your husband was here," said the Judge. "My husband!" she cried, startled. Again she glanced inquiringly at Annie and tried to force a smile.

The lawyer went out and Alicia turned round breathlessly. "My husband was here?" she exclaimed. "Yes." "You've told Mr» Brewster nothing?" Annie shook her head.-. "I couldn't!" she said. "I tried to, but I couldn't. It seems so hard, doesn't It?" Alicia laughed bitterly and Annie went on:."I was afraid you weren't coming!" "The train was late!" exclaimed Alicia evasively, "I went up to Stamford to say good-by to my mother." "To say good-by?" echoed her companion in surprise. "Yee^" said the other tearfully.

' Peat Bogs of Country, However, Contain Billions of Tons That Can Be Utilized in :;_the-ftrtjjre.. ; .- One of the uv»t serious ntpblems at the present? tin* is due Ui the fact that on the average nearly 5¾ per cent of the coal ui the mines is left either in or at the mines and Js inaccessible for the future1 generations. *;. For example, according/to CassteVi Magazine, In 1907 approximately 400,- 000,000 tons of coal were left In or at„tbe.:saaij»-:. mines/from which the 480,000,000 tons were ^ken. To stimulate |he possible use of various grades of fu*l 'and safe jand successful methods &.<gnJ»injr.MM** material at present left in the mines are some of the problems of the United States bureau of mines. Problems of combustion are being carefully studied by means of stationary boiler plants, house heating boilers and a long combustion chamber; proper classification and relative prices for coals by means of specifications and purchase by contract, and more economical use and utilization of fuels heretofore not regarded as adapted to such purposes by means of briquettlng, coking and producer gas plants. Among these fuels is peat, samples of which have been used in the making of producer gas. 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 last ten years. At the present time in many of the European countries peat ia a large source of power development through the aid of the gas pro^ ducer 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. It Is estimated by the United States geological survey that the bogs of this country contain * approximately 12,888,000,000 tons of dry peat commercially available. At a market value of $3 per ton for machine peat bricks, this represents over $38,600,000,000. The Canadian government Is carrying on extensive researches relating to 'the use of peat, as this fuel Id found In very large areas in Canada. The cost of preparing peat for the market is comparatively small. Reliable figures are not Available for the 'said: • • -"•• "Ask Mrs, Jeffrie* to come up."

An unpleasant adventure recently befell a Bavarian officer who was taking observations above the fortress of Ingolstadt, Germany, from a captive balloon. A sudden and violent gust of wind snapped the mooring cable and carried the aerostat up and away at a dlizy speed. The officer, who was alone in the car, attempted to empty the balloon by means of the ripping cord, hut could not get this to work. Meanwhile, he had been-carried to an altitude of 1,500 feet and was beginning to feel the exhausting effects of this rapid change of elevation. Realising that his situation was desperate, fee exerted all his powers, and managed to clamber up to the envelope and slash a hole in it, whereupon the balloon descended even more rapidly than it had riaen. When near the earth he was again in imminent peril, but he made a jump for It and had the good luck to be caught by the friendly branch of a tree.

This group of Islands* while very inconspicuous on the ordinary maps, baa become noted in every dairjrtng district of the globe. This reputation is mainly due to the fast that more 'than a hundred years ego some wise 'breeders living within KSbetr borders foresaw the results of mixed or mongrel breeding and caused laws to be enacted which excluded all foreign cattle except for purposes of slaughter. The present day type of the Jersey j-and Guernsey is due to this policy coupled with wise mating and selection through a long series of generations. Wbitetthe Jersey and Guernsey have many points in common it Is of the 'Guernsey that we are asked to write at this time. The 'Guernsey Is distinctively a dairy cow, having been developed with 'that sole object in view. Further she has been reared as a butter producer, Abutter bemg the chief dairy commodity ^marketed from the island. Consequently she is better adapted to a creamery or market milk trade than to a condensing or cheese producing section. Guernsey Island is smaller than one of Michigan's townships, and an inten- ^sinkJfyateni of- farming has been isaperative. The methods of manageintent practised are those which woott not conduce to large size, and the breed, is not more than medium; mature cows averaging somewhat upwards of 1,000 lbs. Previous to importation into the United States much leas attention seems to have been given to style* symmetry, and external appearance In this breed than hi some others, the objects sought by breeders being a useful rather than a beautiful animal, and an animal giving * largo amount of rather highly cototjfed dairy product*. If we consider numbers eff animals in the United States the Guernsey is considerably below the Jeeeey and the Holstein. There are two chief reasons for this, first their comiwratively late introduction and discrimination in their country, and second the limited area of their native hanue. The character of the Guernseys selected for the Pan American Model Dairy and the sensational work of the cow, Mary Marshall, teemed to bring the 'Guernsey breed 'into considerable Tffomtnence. A vigorous plan of advertising followed ty the Yeksa Suntream and her succf seors have further increased the popular Interest in Guernseys, and extended their reputation ftflto dairying sections, In some of which no representatives or at least only a few members of the breed can be found.

The king's reception at Buckingham palace recently of the team of polo players who are to represent England in the United States, recalls the fact that his majesty played regularly when he was a naval lieutenant.

Almost every form of manly exercise has been practiced by his majesty, and there is not the slightest doubt that every kind of sport will benefit enormously •during his reign. Shooting, of course, holds the warmest place in his majesty's affections.

Three jnsare ago a portion of field Ttmwbot* five on the'college farm was seeded to alfalfa with a slight sprinkling of ^orchard grass and alsike clover in addition.

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA **A few days after birth we notieed an Inflamed spot on our baby's hip which soon began spreading until baby was completely covered even in bis eyes, ears and scalp. For eight weeks he was bandaged from bead to foot He could not have a stitch of clothing on. Our regular physician pronounced it chronic eczema. He is a very able physician and ranks with the best in this locality, nevertheless, the disease began spreading until baby was completely covered. He was losing flesh so rapidly that we became alarmed and decided to-try Cuticora Soap and Ointment. "Not until I commenced using Cuticura Soap and Ointment could we tell what he looked fifes, as we dared not wash him, and I bad been putting one application after another on him. On removing the scale from his head the hair came off, and left him entirely bald, but eisee we have been using Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has as much hair «s ever. Four weeks after wo h-egon to use the Ctrtictn-a Soap and Ointment he was entirely cured. I 'don't believe anyone could have eesema worse than our baby.

STATE FIRE MARSHAL PALMER ASKS ALL MICHIGAN TO COOPERATE. fiPFCIFtEft JULY 86 AS "CLEAN-UP HEARS MUCH TO STATE SHIPPERS DAY FOR MICHIGAN." Martha! P«imer Has Sent Out in. structions to Presidents of Vil< lag?s and Fire Marshals Throughout the State. A member of the British parliament. Sir Henry Seymour King, has been unseated because it was found that he had been "guilty of treating his constituents lavishly." The cable does not explain' whether he furnished barrels of beer or boxes of campaign cigars for the purpose of winning the favor of the voters, or whether he went so far as to distribute bottles of scotch and soda. In any event, the Judges who considered his cafe were not disposed to excuse him on tbe plea that if beer or cigars were distributed they were passed around by his friends who were eager to "put him over." In England they have a corrupt practices act which is enforced without the necessity of such dilatory proceedings as have characterized th ' "lmer case. State Insurance Commissioner Palmer, who, under the recent act passed by "the legislature, was made state Are marshal, is endeavoring to make several changes in the present conditions relative to fire protection, and along this line has caused to be sent out to the Are chiefs, presidents of villages and fire marshals of the state a few instructions to follow, and has designated Tuesday, July 25, as "Clean-up day for Michigan." The work is an entirely new departure in the state, and it is hoped that the commissioner's effort will be met with results. Here is the letter being sent out: "It ia the desire of this department to have a concerted, uniform eflorl on the part of all officials made ao bj the fire marshal law to clean up oui state, and to accomplish this we havt set apart Tuesday, July 25, to be designated as 'Clean up day.' "Will you not make it your especial business on this date to Bee that: th« law is strictly enforced in your community with reference to the cleaning up of basements, alleys and hazardous buildings? "This is the time of year when,, because of the extreme heat and ', dr> weather, we are especially confronted with the danger of fires, and will yot npt do your part to help prevent'' thf great loss of life and property occasioned through the carelespneBS of our people in the storing of rubbish, shavings, excelsior, tissue paper and thf like in basements and in alleys, arte s e a to it that your locality upon 'thii date is cleaned up? "Give the department the benefit ol your active co-operation in its effort to reduce Are hazard In Michigan, and thereby reduce the cost of Are insurance to our people."

' State Insurance Commissioner Palmer, realizing that few people in the state are taking advantage of the information bureau of the state insurance department, desires to make it known to the public that the department 1B the forum, of the people and that all questions involving insurance policies, whether life, causualty or fire, wlU receive attention when referred to the department- Mr. Palmer asserts that a great many poor people have in the past paid at least half of their insurance f-money to some lawyer who did no more than answer a few questions regarding the policy, or made an effort to hasten tbe cqllection from the insurance company. Mr. Palmer i» of the opinion that the people of the state can save many thousands of dollars each year in attorney feeB if they will use the department more as a medium of information and makes public the following communication which is addressed to the people of the entire state: "We desire to call to the attention of the insuring public of Michigan our conception of the functions of the Insurance department in its relation with them.

Approximately 160,000 acres are planted, and next fall fanners will receive/more than $8,000,000 for their beets, the crop prospecta were never better, the dry, hot weather advanc- j lng the beets in sugar percentage. Farmer* estimate that the crop is now two IsseeVs in advance of its usual condition. The tops cover, the ground, and in all parts of the,state from tbe stenomlnee'region southward the fields are showing health. About 15,000 weeders ar^ caring for the cips, JW^daily wage rangingTrpm II to tl^wT It, eoats Michigan farmers about |35 an acre to harvest their beets. The usual return from . an acre doubles the tilling cost A* a beet sugar producing state Michigan now ranks first. Up to 1910 California occupied the first round -of the ladder, but last year Michigan jumped far ahead of the southern d}$- trict. California and Colorado each produce two crops of beets yearly. Factories in various parts of Michigan are now being overhauled in;; readiness . for manufacturing the heavy yield. Additions are being constrained to practically every one of t$e' 16 plants, and the indications are that the campaign next fall and winter w4H last three x>r four weeks longer than customary: The growing of sugar beets has become tbe great farm industry of the state. More acreage was offered manufacturers last spring than they'' would* accept, and the probabilities are that next year a still greater acreage than planted this year will he devoted to the crop. Farmers grow beets because they get greater profits on their investment. It costs more to grow beets than it does wheat or any of the coarse grains, but the returns are five and six times .what is received for the other staples. The seed from which Michigan farmers- grow beets is furnished by the sugar manufacturers. It is imported from Germany and is of the finest^ quality. It is sold to the farmers for what it costs the Tnanufacturers. The reason for this is that manufacturers are desirous of bringing the sugar percentage to as high a point as possible, and if they permitted the farmers to buy their own seed there would be many growers who would purchase a cheap grade and take chances on its producing heavy. "The crop prospects are* the best in the history of the state, and that means they are the best in the history of any state in the country," said an official of the Michigan Sugar (Jo., which operates six plants in various parts of the state. "The beet sugar industry means the retaining of more than $20,000,000 in Michigan. This is. shown by the fact that the sugar is worth probably ~ $12,000,000. Michigan, farmers get $8,000,000 or more for their beets, and there is tbe cost of cultivation, etc., to say nothing cf the interest on the money." t a cofilir^n the state rat agreed fjba d for^tfans tair COL flelHtl Slfjsig BE GREATEST E*fl O B T A I N E D ^ ^ # ^ t S S S ^ '*' fs it ne m its shouftd be opened between the roads of the state.

It has been reported that the freight steamer Durkee, fitted out with a bar, is being used as a means of furnishing the people of Iosco county, a local option county, with liquor. A warrant was sworn out, but the sheriff waB ordered from the boat when he attempted to serve it. Attorney-General . Franz Kuhn states that the plan was unlawful. He said the only boats that could legally [sell liquor were those passenger vessels which tan between certain ports on a regular schedule. • "I have heard from Iosco people that the Durkee is a freight boat and not run on a regular general schedule," said Mr. Kuhn. "Section 6436 of the compiled laws of 1897 provides that it is unlawful to sell llauor on waters of the state outside the boundaries of any. city, village, or township, except on passenger boats* legally licensed and registered under the laws of the United States, while en route between porta of a regular established line.

"That's our object, Isn't It, Mr. Jetfries— to find out?" he said sarcastically. "What's the name of this mysterious witness?" exclaimed the Danker testily. "If the police haven't been able to find her why should Howard's wife be able to do so? There was a report that she herself was—" He paused and added, "Did she tell you jgho It was?" "No." isald the judge dryly, "she will tell us to-night" ' The banker bounded in his seat. "You'll see," he cried. "Another flash In the pan. I don't like being mixed, up in this matter—it's disagreeable— most disagreeable." Dr. Bernstein puffed a thick cloud of smoke into the air and said quietly: "Tea, sir; it U disagreeable—but— unfortunately It la lite." Suddenly the door opened and Capt. Clinton appeared, followed by hla fldue Achates, Detective Sergeant Maloney. Both men were in plain clothes. The captain's manner was condescendingly pejite, the attitude of .a man to sura of nig own position that he had little respect for the opinion of any one else. With an effort at amiability ho began: "Got your massage. Judge—came at soon, as j could.

"Yes," went on Judge Brewster calmly, "you were instrumental In obtaining a confession from him. I'm raising a Question as to the truth of that confession." There was a sudden interruption caused by the entrance of the butler, who approached his master and whispered something to him. Aloud the judge said: "Ask her to wait till we are ready." " The -servant retirecLand Capt._Cllnton turned to the judge deference, he said: "Say, Mr. Brewster, you're a great constitutional lawyer—the greatest in this country—and I take off my hat to you, but I don't think criminal law Is In your line." Judge Brewster pursed his lips and his eyes flashed as he retorted quickly: "X don't think it's constitutional Jo take a man's mind away from him and substitute your own. Capt Clinton." "What do you mean?" demanded the chief. 1 mean that instead of bringing out of this man his own true thoughts of Innocence, you have forced into his consciousness your own false thoughts of bis guilt." The judge spoke slowly and deliberately, making each word tell. The police bully squirmed uneasily on his chair. "I don't follow you, judge. Better stick to International law. This police court work la beneath you." "Perhaps it is," replied the lawyer quickly without losing his temper. Then he asked: "Captain, will you answer a few questions V "It all depends," replied the other insolently. 'If you don't," cried the judge sharply, "I'll ask them through the medium of your own weapon—the press. Only my press will not consist of the one or two yellow journals you inspire, but the independent, dignified Dress of the United States." The captain reddened. "I don* like the* insinuation, judge." "I don't insinuate, Capt, Clinton,)' went on the lawyer severely, "I accuse yon of giving an untruthful version of this matter to two sensational newspapers in this city. These scurrilous, sheets have tried this young man in their columns and found him guilty, thus prejudicing the whole community against him before be comes to trial. In no other country in the civilised world would this be tolersttd, except m a oondtry overburdened with free* dom," Cant CMntoa lajjgaed boisterously. T h e early bird eatches the-worm," be grinned.

You have linked her name with that of Underwood. The whole country rings with falsities about her. In my opinion, Capt Clinton, your direct object is to destroy the value of any evidence she may give in her husband's favor." The chief looked aggrieved. "Why, I haven't said a word." With mocVrTuTElng to his sergeant, he asked: "Have I, Maloney?" "But these sensation-mongers have!" cried the judge angrily. "You are the only source "from whom they could obtain the Information." "But what do I gain ?" demanded the captain with affected innocence. "Advertisement—promotion," replied tbe judge sternly. "These same papers speak of you as the greatest living chief—the greatest public official— oh. you know the political value of that sort oJLthing as well as I do." Judge Brewster picked up Borne papers from.his desk and read from one of them. "Captain, in the case of the People against Creedon—after plying the defendant with questions for six hours you obtained a confession from him?" "Yes, he told me be set the place on fire," "Exactly—bu$ It afterward developed that be was never near tbe place." "Well, he told me." "Yes. He told you, but it turned out that he was mistaken."' "Yes," admitted the captain reluctantly. Judge Brewster again consulted the papers In his hand. "You're quite right, captain—my mistake—it was homicide, but—it wss an untrue confession." "Yes." "It was the same thing in the Callahan case," went on the judge, picking up another document'lu the case of the People against TuthlU—and— Cosgrove—Tuthlll confessed and died in prison, aad Cosgrove sitarward acknowledged that he and not Tuthill was the. guilty man.? "Well," growled the captain, "mistakes sometimes happen." Judge Brewster stopped and laid down his eyeglasses. "Ah, that is precisely the point of view we take to this matter r Now, captain, in the present case, on the :m young Mr. Jeffries the pistol with which he was supposed; to have shot Robert Underwood Capt Clinton screwed op bis eyes aa .|f thinking hard.

Capt Clinton laughed loudly. "Optical captivatlon la good!" Turning to his sergeant he asked: "What do you think of that, Maloney?" Sergt Maloney chuckled. "It's a new one, eh?" "No, captain—It's a very old one," Interrupted the lawyer sternly, "but it's new to us. We're barely on the threshold of the discovery. It certainly explains these other cases, doesn't it?" "I don't know that it does," objected the captain, shaking his head. "I don't acknowledge—" Judge Brewster sat down. Looking the policeman squarely in the face, he said slowly and deliberately; "Capt. Clinton, whether you acknowledge it or not, I can prove that you obtained these confessions by means of hypnotic suggestion, and that is a greater crime against society than any the state punishes or pays you to prevent." The captain laughed and shrugged his shoulders. Indifferently he said: "I guess the boys up at Albany can deal with that question." "The boys up at Albany," retorted the lawyer, "know as little about the laws of psychology as you do. This will be dealt with at Washington!" The captain yawned. "I didn't come here to hear about that—you were going to produce the woman who oalled on Underwood the night of the murder—that was what 1 came here for-—not to hear my methods criticised—where is she?" "One thing at a time," replied the judge. "First I wanted to show you that we know Howard Jeffries' confession is untrue. Now we'll take up the other question." Striking a bell on his desk, he added: "This woman can prove that Robert Underwood committed suicide." "She can, eh?" exclaimed the captain sarcastically. "Maybe she did it herself. Some one did it, that's sure!" The library door opened aad the butler entered "Yes, some one did it!" retorted the judge; "we agree there!" To the servant he said: "Ask Mrs. Jeffries, Jr., to come here." The servant left the room and the captain turned to the Judge with a laugh: "Is she the one? Ha! ha!—that's easy—" Tbe judge nodded. "She has promised to produce the missing witness to-night" "She has, eh?" exclaimed the cap* tain. Rising quickly from his chair, he crossed the room and talked in an undertone with his sergeant This new turn in the case seemed to interest him. Meantime Mr. Jeffries, who had followed every phase of the questioning with cleee attention, left big seat and went ever to Judge Brewster. "Is it possible," he exclalmod, "la it possible that Underwood shot himself? I never dreamed of doubting Howard's confession!" More cordially he went on: "Brewster, if this is true, 1 owe you a debt of gratttua*>~ aSbtof ithe"con&^on:did~you'"sbowT d 0 M »lnAid " • * • * - « * PASTORAL OF THE BIG CITY As 8un Sinks, Policemen 8«*k Cafe's Back Room and Footpad Prepares for Duty, The sun was ainu6u£ly sinking behind a fear thousand* buildings, varying In height from the one-story edifice on the western water front to the 2(H story warehouse adjacent. It may seem odd to say that the sun was sinking sinuously, but It had to sink in that way to give a proper performance and -the corners-of- each aadbuildlng with its rosy stain. Up in the edge of the sky you could see dusk, getting ready to do business. The evening chimes rang out from 118 trolley cars In the Immediate vicinity, and the softly musical resonance of the faraway elevated filtered through the circumambient air. It had to filter to get through, as a couple of thousand chimneys were on the job. The lone policeman on the beat folded his tent like an Arab and aa silently stole Into the nearest cafe. Here were other policemen. One woufd have said half the metropolitan force was in the back room, but this was not true. Only one-fifth of the force was there. Without the evening shadows began to, fall and the trusty footpad adjusted his rubber heels and heaved a sigh, feeling sorrowful, be knew not why, yet prepared to do his duty. The sun had now entirely disappeared into New Jersey—which is suffering enough for one night. We decline to prolong this pastoral. —Judge. , / Uncle Jenk's Appeal. Uncle Jenkand Aunt Neryy.Splgler, having been unable to get along peaceably, together, had separated,, on an amicable basis. Uncle Jenk took up his abode in an old men's home; Aunt Nervy kept the cottage and garden, and also retained the slender bank account. Under this arrangement the two old people were on tbe friendliest footing and Uncle Jenk made neighborly calls upon hiB wife at frequent intervals, often doing small bits of work about the premises, for which Aunt Nervy5 scrupulously paid him. On one occasion, the plastering having fallen from the ceiling, Uncle Jenk solicited the job of repairing, naming $6 as his price for the work, which Aunt Nervy considered excessive. "Why," she protested, "I know I could get Andy Oatch to do it cheaper than that." "Mebby ye might," allowed Uncle Jenk, mildly, "but I ain't nimble, like Andy; It'd take me a good bit longer than what it would him. 'Sides that, even if you couW git the work done a little cheaper, I should think you'd favor one that's kin to you, rather than a stranger." Uncle ^enk*g~logte^won~and He received his price.—Youth's Companion. a? Not for Mr. Hercules. Hercules had finished his twelfth labor. "That's the last!" he exclaimed. I positively refuse to do another one!" Thus we see that even Hercules was not free from the "13" superstition. A Busy Place. "Where is that spot you call tbo 'lovers' lane?'" diffidently asks the young man while the young lady waits on the ho*el piazza. "Right down yonder," replies the clerk. "Just keep going until you see the porter from tbe barber shop. Lovers' lane is so crowded now that we have him stationed there to give the guests checks, so that each may have his turn,"—Judge's Library. The Point of the 8tory. A mother was greatly worried by her small daughter's habit of running away. Thinking to impress the child with the danger of getting lost, she told her a vivid story of some children who ran away to go nutting. Night found them far from borne and lost in the woods. With much art the mother told of a storm in the night and of the terrible distress of the parents and friends who bunted for the children until morning. She also told about the good breakfast prepared for the children, which ttfey missed because they did not reach home till 10 o'clock. The little girl listened Intently to every word, and the mother hoped that the story was making an impression. When she finished the child was silent for a few moments, as U expecting something more. Then she. asked, eagerly: "Did they get any nuts?"—Metropolitan Magazine. Burglar Befriended Him. A burglar was arrested for robbing a house up the state some time since, and the next morning the victim rushed wildly into tbe magistrate's office. As soon as he could get his breath to working again he told the official that he had come to see about tbe prisoner. "Glad you came down," was the affable response of the magistrate, "I suppose you want to appear against him." "Well, I guess not!" exclaimed the victim with a glad smile. "I want to kiss him on the brow and give him |10. Among other things that he stole from the house was a package of love letters that I wrote ot my wife before we were married."

"Just a trifle," said the judge dryly., Sergeant Maloney took his bat. , "Harry up!" said the captain, "you, oaa telephone from tbe comer drag store." "All right, cap." Sr. Bernstein also rose to depart "1 must go, Mr. Brewster; I have an appointment ac the hospital." Tbo judge grasped hhThand warmly.

In many parts of the east the Norway or sycamore maple is a favorite for street planting, though It Is somewhat intolerant of dust and smoke and is therefore better suited to rural districts and villages than congested city centers. As it Is a spreading tree, care should be taken to prevent Its bending too low. It thrives in southern California as well as any of the maples, but seems to thrive stilt better farther north. Nature seems to dictate an evergreen country, and it is somewhat puzzling to know why we have sycamores, cottonwoods, etc, almost identical with species found In eastern states. In central and northern California, where oaks are deciduous, the maples thrive and no objection should be made to use on street and highway. Wealth of Frankfort.

DU.UNGHM1 CQ«**Y T SYNOPSIS. Howard Jeffries, banker's son, under th« *vii influence of Robert Undoiweod, fellow-etudent at Yaie, leads a life of dissipation, marries the daughter of a gambier who died In prison? and is disowned by his father. He la out of work and in desperate straits. Underwood, who had once been engaged t o Howard's stepmother, Alicia, Is apparently In prosperous circumstances. Taking advantage of Me intimacy with Alicia, he becomes a sort of social highwayman. Discovering his true character, Alicia denies him the house. He sends her a note threatening suicide. Art dealers for whom he acted a s commissioner, demand an accounting. H e cannot make good. Howard calls at his apartments in an intoxicated condition to request a loan of |2,000 to enable him to take up a business proposition. Howard drinks himself Into a maudlin condition, and goes to sleep on a divan. A caller Is announced and Underwood draws a screen around the drunken sleeper. Alicia enters. She demands a promise from Underwood that he will not take his life. He refuses unless she will renew 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 to Judge Brewster, attorney for 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 Brewster to defend Howard. He consents. Alicia is greatly alarmed when she learns from Annie that Brewster has taken the case. She confesses to Annie that she called on Underwood the night of his death and that she has his letter in wrdch he threatened suicide, but begs for time before giving out the information. Annie promises Brewster to produce the missing woman at a meeting at his home. Brewster accuses Clinton of forcing a confession from Howard. Annie appears without the witness and re^ fuses to give the name. Alicia arrives. I? Do you understand what the letter means to me?" "Have pity!" cried the banker's wife, almost beside herself. "You can tell thera when I'm out of the country. Don't ask me to make this sacrifice now—don't ask me—don't!" Annie was beginning to lose patience. The woman's selfishness angered her. With irritation, she said: "You've lost your nerve, and you don't know what you're saying. Howard's life comes before you—me—-or anybody. You know that!" "Yes—yes," cried Alicia desperately, "I know that. I'm only asking you to wait. I—I ought to have left this morning—that'B what I should have done—gone at once. Now it's too late, unless you help me—" "I'll help you all I can," replied the other doggedly, "but I've promised Judge Brewster to clear up this matter to-night." Suddenly there was a commotion at the door. Capt. Clinton entered, followed by Detective Sergeant Maloney, Alicia shrank back in alarm. "I thought Judge Brewster was here," said the captain, glancing suspiciously round the room. "I'H send for him," said Annie, touching a bell. "Well, Where's your mysterious witness?" demanded the captain sarcastically. He looked curiously at Alicia. "This is Mrs. Howard Jeffries, Sr.," said Annie, "my husband's stepmother." The captain made a deferential salute. Bully as he was,_he.knew how pearance, did I, Maloney. Why not? Because, begging your pardon for doubting your word, there'* no such person." "Begging your pardon for disputing your word, captain," she retorted, mimicking him, "there is such a person." "Then where is she?" he demanded angrily. Annie made no answer, but looked for advice to Judge Brewster, who at that instant entered the room. The captain glared at her viciously, and unable to longer contain his wrath, he bellowed: "I'll tell you where she is! She's right here in this room!" Pointing his finger at Annie in theatrical fashion, he went on furiously: "Annie Jeffries, you're the woman who visited Underwood the night of his death! I don't hesitate to say so. I've said so all along, haven't I, Maloney?" "Yes, you told the newspapers so," retorted Annie dryly. Taking no notice of her remark, the captain blustered: "I've got your record, young woman! I know all about you and your folks. You knew the two men when they were at college. You knew Underwood before you made the acquaintance of young Jeffries. It was Underwood who introduced you to your husband. It was Underwood who aroused your husband's jealousy. You went to his rooms that night. Your husband followed you there, and the shooting took place!" Turning to Judge Brewster, he added, with a sarcastic grin: "False confession, eh? Hypnotism, eh? I guess It's jnterna- CHAPTER XVIII.—Continued. "It does stun one, doesn't it?" went on Annie. "You can't think when it comes all of a sudden like this. It's Just the way I felt the' morning they showed me Howard's confession." "Prison! Prison!" wailed Alicia. Annie tried to console her. "Not for long," she said soothingly; "you can get bail. It's-only a matter fif favor—Judge Brewster would you out right away." "Get me out!" cried-^CTicia distract edly, "My God^r^an't go to prison! 1 can'tj^Plliat's too much. I've done nojthifig! Look—read this!" Handing over Underwood's letter, she went on: "You can see for yourself. The wretch frightened me into such a state of mind that I hardly knew what I was doing—I went to his rooms to save him. That's the truth, I swear • to God! But do you suppose anybody will believe me on oath? They'll— they'll—" Almost hysterical, she no longer knew what she was .saying or doing. She collapsed utterly, and sinking down in a chair, gave way to a passionate fit of sobbing. Annie* tried to quiet her: "Hush!" she said gently, "don't so on like that. Be bravo. Perhaps it won't bo as bad as you think." She unfolded the letter Alicia had given her and carefully read it through. When she had finished her face lit up with joy. Enthusiastically she cried: "This is great for Howard! What a blessing you didn't destroy It! What a wretch, what a hound to write you like that! &Poor soul, of course, you went and begged him not to do it! I'd have gone myself, but I think I'd have broken an umbrella over his head or^omething— Gee! these kind of fellows breed trouble, don't they? Alive or dead, they breed trouble! What «an we do?" ' Alicia rose. Her tears had disappeared. There was a look of fixed resolve in her eyes, . "Howard must be cleared," she said, 'tend I must face It—-alone r "You'll be alone all right," said Annie thoughtfully. ''Mr. Jeffries will do as much for you as he did for his son." : Noticing that her companion seemed hurt, by her frankness, ehe changed the topic. "Honest to God!" she exclaimed good-naturedly, "I'm broken-henrtad-r- VU do anything to save you from -tnla —this public disgrace. I know what it means—I've had my dose of i t But this thing has got to come out, hasn't it!" The banker's wife wearily nodded assent. "Yes, I realise that," she said, "but the disgrace of arrest—I can't stand it, Annie! I c a n t go to prison even If it's only for a minute.* Holding out a trembling hand, aba went on: "Give me back the tetter.

"Beg pardon, m'm; I wanted to tell the judge I was going." The servant entered. "Tell Judge Brewster that Capt. Clinton is going," said Annie. Alicia, meantime, watf once more on the verge of collapse. The long threatened expose was now at hand. In another moment the judge and perhaps her husband would come in, and Annie would hand them the letter which exculpated her husband. There was a moment of terrible suspense. Annie stood aloof, her eyes fixed on the floor. Suddenly, without uttering a word, she drew Underwood's letter from her bosom, and quickly approaching AHcia. placed it unnoticed in her hand. The banker's wife flushed and then: turned pale. She understood. Annie would spare her. Her tips parted to protest. Even stye was taken back by such an exhibition of unselfishness as this. She began to stammer thanks. "No, no," whispered Anaie quickly, "don't thank me; keep i t * Capt Clinton turned round with a Jeer. Insolently, ha said to JLtnle: "You might aa yrtH\ own nja—you've played « XXUSLMM all." "No, C a ^ t » i u m , " she replied with quiet dlgnttj-f "I told you the simple truth.

"You don't say so?" exclaimed Annie, irritated at the man's intolerable insoleirce. Judge Brewster held up a restraining hand. "Please say nothing," he said with dignity. - .~ - "No, I guess I'll let him talk. Go on, captain," she said with a smile, as if thoroughly enjoying^ the situation. Alicia came forward, her face pale, but on it a look of determination, as if she had quite made up her mind as to what course to pursue. In her hand was Underwood's letter. Addressing Annie, she said, with emotion: "The truth must come out sooner or later." Seeing what she was about to do, Annie quickly put out her hand to stop her. She expected the banker's wife to do her duty, she had insisted that she must, but now -she was ready to do it, she realized what it was costing her. Her position, her future happiness were at stake. It was too great a sacrifice. Perhaps tiiere was some other way. v "No, no, not yet," she whispered. But Alicia brushed her aside' and, thrusting the letter into the hand of the astonished- police captain, she said: "Yes, now! Read that, captain!" Capt Clinton slowly unfolded the letter. Alicia collapsed in a chair. Annie stood by helpless, but trying to collect her wits. The judge watched the scene with amazement not understanding. The captain read from the letter: :>-• r '• " 'Dear Mrs. Jeffries." He stopped, and glancing at the signature, exclaimed. "Robert Underwood!" Looking significantly at Annie, he exclaimed: "'Dear Mrs. Jeffries!' Is that conclusive enough? What did I tell you?" Continuing to peruse the letter, he read on: "Shall be found dead tomorrow — suicide —''- He stopped short and frowned. "What's this? Why, this is a barefaced forgery!" Judge Brewster quickly snatched the letter from his hand and, glancing over it quickly, said: •"Permit me. This belongs to my client." Capt. Clinton's prognathous Jaw snapped to with a click, and he squared hi3 massive shoulders, as he usually did when preparing for hostilities: "Now, Mrs. Jeffries," he said sharply, "I'll trouble you to go with me to headquarters." Annie and Alicia both stood up. Judge Brewster quickly objected. "Mrs. Jeffries will not go with you," he said quietly. "She has made no attempt to leave the state." "She's wanted at police headquarters," said the captain doggedly. "She'll be there to-morrow morning." "She'll be there to-night."

You are not' the woman to whom this letter is addressed?" "No," stammered Annie, "that .is—" The judge interrupted her. Sternly he asked: "Is it your intention to go on the witness stand and commit perjury?" "I don't know. I never thought of that," she faltered. The judge turned to Alicia. "Are you going to allow her to do so, Mrs. Jeffries?" "No, no," cried Alicia, quickly; "1 never thought of such a thing." "Then I repeat—is it your intention to perjure yourself?" Annie was silent, and he went on: "I assume it is, but let me ask you: Do you expect me, as your counsel, to become particops crlminis to this tissue of lies? Am I-expected to build up a false structure for you to swear to? A n i l ! " "I don't know; I haven't thought of it," replied Annie. "If it can be done, why not? I'm glad you suggested it." "I suggest it?" exclaimed the lawyer, scandalized. "Yes," cried Annie with growing exaltation; "it never occurred to me till you spoke.

Going toward the door, she said: "Good-night, Mrs. Jeffries!" The judge tried to bar her way. "Don't go," he said; "Capt. Clinton's men are waiting outside." "That doesn't matter!" she cried. "But you must not go!" exclaimed the lawyer in a tone of command. "I won't allow i t They'll arrest you! Mrs. Jeffries, you'll please remain here." But Annie was already at the door.

This Is •a serious fault and may result from any of the following: 1—poor lutai- 'catlng oil. 2—Failure to turn on ior have a sufficient ftow of lubricating oil. 3—Overheating of cylinder. Oiily a good grade of xas' engine oil which is intended to withstand high heat should be used. The writer has m •mind an instance <vt this kind in which a chauffeur upon finding Mis cylinder oil exhausted borrowed some steam cylinder oil 'from a threskrax crew. The deposit formed by ffhe combustion of thlB oil rendered a large bill of repairs necessary. Neglect to turn on lubriactlng oil would be counted pure carelessness. The amount fed should also be watched and vary from '3 »to 10 drops per mlnute~ according to the size of the "engine. A better way to tell is to see that the piston is'olly and presents ua polished appearance. All engines under ordinary conditions of UBage 'Will not overheat.

The valves will also require some attention. When the engine is sent from the factory they are adjusted t o open and close at-the proper points in the stroke, which should be qu*te ^carefully done. Should the engine fail •to deliver its full "power the timing o t •the valves may foe looked to as one 'cause of failure. 'Information as t o the proper timing can be had by refrerence to the oompany*B book of rn- -structions which accompanies the engine or by consultation with the agent OT company direct.

Lock tnrts or some other means should he used to prevent those nuts working loose. The crank shaft bearings should also be kept closely adjusted, hut not so light aa to prevent a film of oil forming around the shaft for lubrication. The same suggestions for adjusting7 would apply to those bearings as to the connecting rod. Keep other moving parts on the en-i gine well lubricated and inspect the entire machine occasionally to see that there are no loose nuts or parts. The loss of lite in Porcupina district, northern Ontario, from forest fir«s is known to be several hundred and the property loss will reach several millions of dollars. Only three <ot 84 employes of the West Dome mine have beea accounted for and 200 miners, mu'ekers, etc., in the Dome mine have betn suffocated. The mines burne<l include the Dome, North Dome, Preston, East Dome, Vioond, Foley, O'Brien, Philadelphia, United Porcupine, Eldorado, Porcu- >ine, PottsvlTle and paTt of Golden City, as w«ll as many small buildings along t h e lake front. While some loss of life occurred in the vicinity oT Porcupine lake, the greatest havr/c was wrought around the main mtnes, notably West Dome and Big Dome. There the entrapped miners., cut off from escape, were orced t o take to the shafts for afety, "and, penned in by flames, perished. This was notably true at Dome and West ^ome mines. At r*reston, East Dome, an untlroberefl shaft "gave shelter and none perished- Later "Reports From Northern Ontario 'Gradually the story of tne north tntario fires is being unfolded, and •A :te as full of thrilling incidents as the "most imaginative ©1 romances. That familiarity with danger breeds indifference to it is a maxrm justified by experience, and certainty the 'dwellers in the Canadian.. Hand appear to have given little thought to the inflammable character of the district. Weeks of drought anil high temperature had reduoefl much-'of the vegetation to a state of extreme desiccation ,and crumbled it into pow- 'dery dust. The death list contains no new names, and the number dead is a "mere guess. The largest area "burned was that comprising the townships of Tisdale and Whitney, where were located the towns of Porcupine, South Torcilpine and Pottsville, and the largest mines. No word has own received of the damages at the power plant at Trunn's landing, and this strengthens the belief that the fire did not spread over as great an area as at first reported. The fire that destroyed Cochrane, 100 miles distant from Porcupine, it is believed now, was independent of those in the Porcupine district. To Vote on Canadian Reciprocity JcNy 72.

I could not lie in bed In any position and rest In about a year the sores extended down to my feet. Then I suffered agony with the burning; itching sores. I could hardly walk and for a long time I could not put on socks. "All this time t was trying everything I could hear of, and had the skill of three doctors. They said it was eczema.

Oid Map ot South America, Claude Vaatin, an English mining engineer, who has been prospecting in Peru, returned the other day on the steamship Zacapa. Besides looking after mining property, he has been collecting interesting antlnquttiies of the (country. One of the most interesting things he 'brings back with him is a map of South America made by the Jesuits in 1592. It gives an outline of the land as far north as Cuba and Is apparently accurate. Its purpose is evidently plain, for every missionary station in the country at that time Is Indicated on the map, and the line of travel necessary to reach them is marked out. This map was obtained by Mr. Vautin at Puno, Peru. Another interesting collection" he brought back is the death masks .of the lncas. These were hammered out of tmetal and placed over the faces oi the dead. Three of these obtained by Mr. 'Vautin are^ of sheet gold. Pandemonium.

Ae RUDE AWAKENING FOR ELIZA Too Late 8he Discovered That Vistor Was Not the Object of Her Adoration. The gentle Eliza waB sitting drearily in the darkened room, waiting miserably for a visitor, whom she feared would never come. To tell the truth, Eliza and William had quarreled bitterly the night before. But what is that? A ring, a step, a masculine voice. She waited not, but threw herself Into the visitor's arms. "Oh, my darling!" she sobbed, with her head upon his bosom. "I am so glad you have called. I did so long to make up and do my best to pay you for bringing light into my life. Let us settle peacefully once more with each other." "Well, miss," said a strange voice, T i n wlllln', I'm sure. But my Instructions is that If you don't I'm to cut off the gas!'* And It was only then that Eliza found out she bad mistaken a common gas person for her William.— London Tlt-Blts.

Let us not torget in summer, That the winter of our lives, Should be fed and warmed by memories, That keep tear* from out oar eyes; Let us prise the gift of laughter, That grows from wholesomeneas within; Let us learn to count our blessings And talk of the eucces that wins.

MAY FINISH OLD BUSINESS Case of John Boyd, Whose Sentence Was Commuted From Life to Twenty-Seven Years, Will Doubtless Be Taken Up. Lansing.—The greatest number of applications for pardons and h paroles ever on file at Jackson at one time, will come before the state board of padons, which began a session at Jackson. There are about 200 petitions. The usual number is from twenty to forty. It is said the reason there are so many cases now is because of unfinished business due to friction among the members of the old board. It is expected that, with the new board, all these old cases will be cleared up. It probably will result in many prisoners being released. The case of John Boyd, whose sentence was commuted from life to 27 years, will doubtless be taken up, and Boyd paroled. Boyd has served 25 years. He has a patent on a baseball schedule, and could make a good start in life if given a chance before he is broken down in health. Boyd has been a trusty for ten years. Dixon Takes Up Fight for Babies. Robert L. Dixon, the new' secretary of the Btate board of health, recently appointed by Governor Osborn, who assumed the duties of Ms new office July 1, is about to start a crusade to save the babies of the state. So the doctor declared to a correspondent. "I have been thinking about this infantile death rate in the state for a good while," said Doctor Dixon.—Ha fact they say that it is a hobby of mine, but T am willing- lo__have i t -so* called if I can do some good in the state by saving the lives of the little ones." Three year record Of deaths of Michigan babies': July deaths under one year old 1,827 August deaths under one year old.. 2,508 Totaf deaths under one ye&r old....4,335 Deaths from 1 to 4 years In same months 1,497 Total of all 5,832 "It will be seen that for the months of July and* August of that year the total number of deaths of all ages amounted to 5,747, and of this number 1,351 were babies under one year of age or 23.5 per cent, of the total number. There were 460 deaths of infants, aged one to four years, constituting eight per cent, of the total number. "For the year 1909 the number of deaths of babies under the age of one year, during the months of July and August bad increased to 1,444 out of a total of 5,441 deaths of all ages, or 26.5 per cent, of the total number. "Last year the tofcal deaths of all ages in the state for the months of July and August totaled 6,665, and there were 1,540 deaths of infants under one year of age, and 571 deaths of children, aged one to four years. "Thus it will be seen that for the past three year the total number of deaths during the months of July and August at all ages numbered 17,853 and of this number 4,335 were of babies undeo one year of age or 24.3 per cent of the total number. The deaths of 1,827 of these babies occurred during July of the three years and 2,508 during August. "For the same three years and months there were 1,497 deaths aged one to four years, or but 8.4 per cent, of the entire number." 912,596,951.99 Are Expenses of State. Beginning with the balance of $2,487,883.72 on July 1, 1910, the state treasury had a balance of 12,238,425.36 July 1, this year. During the year there was turnetl into the treasury iu state fluids the sum of $12,- 244,493.44 while the disbursements were $12,596,951.99. These' seta of figures give an idea of the extent of the state government and its operations in one fiscal year. It is probable that this balance will be expended before the next taxes begin to come In, but the last legislature provided a sufficient amount to wipe out this annual deficit in the future and place the state's finances on a balancing basis. Most of the state's money is on deposit in the banks of the state, the annual report being compiled by the department to cover the fiscal year just closed, showing a total deposit of $2,305,475.03 in state banks on June 30, which is secured uy bonds to the amount of $2,758,000. The funds of the state come from many different BourceB. For instance, the auditor general's department turned in $134,914.87 in delinquent taxes, redemptions, state tax land money and tax histories; th« county treasurer's, $6,225,669 in taxes; huntters* licenses add $30,286.45 more; supreme court fees, $4,103; the commissioner of banking, $31,280 in fees for examining banks; the commissioner of Insurance, $31,830 In fees; the dairy and food department, $10,261 in fees and licenses; executive office, $4,845 in notary public fees; non-resident liquor dealers' licenses netted $46,791; the secretary of state collected $90,189.94 In motor vehicle licenses; state oil inspector, $19,668; state game and fish warden, $9,631 in fishermen's licenses and specific and other taxes netted $46,285; the tale of reserve tax homeBtead lands, $239,- 884, while from the maintenance of patients in the various hospitals of the state there was received $23,300. Going After Insanitary Creameries. Insanitary ^creameries are receiving a mention froin the state board of health, Dr. R. I. Dixon^ secretary of the board, having directed an investigation of several institutions in various parts of the state against which complaints have been filed. State Sanitary Engineer T. S. Ainge has been furnished with the list and directed to make the investigation and in case he reports bad conditions in any of the places, Secretary Dixon says orders to clean up will be issued and unless they are complied with promptly, further action will be taken. President Coming to Fair. Early in the year President McRae of the Detroit Board of Commerce extended an invitation to President Taft to be the guest of Detroit and the Board of Commerce some time in September. President Tom Newton of the State Fair society followed this with an invitation to visit the fair and to so time his visit to Detroit as to be the guest of the whole state for at least one day at the fair. State Prepares for Big Sale of Land. The state land department has been working for some months past on a schedule of dates at which state lands would be sold at the county seats of various counties in the state, and Laud Commissioner. Russell—iias announced the place and date of sale where these lands will be sold at public auction, commencing August 8. The list includes, besides several thousand acres of farming lands, several village and city lots, all of which will be sold to the highest ' bidder, providing that the price bid is equal to th^ appraised value put on t i e property by the state land department. All of the lands are state tax homestead lands which have been deeded to the state by the auditor general's department. Following are the places where the sales will be heid and the date. AU lands situated in a county which are placed on sale will be sold from the county seat, as follows: Cheboygan, Cheboygan, Tuesday, August 8; Iosco, Tawas City, Thursday, August 10; Bay, Bay City, Tuesday, August 29; Mackinac, St. Ignace, Tuesday, September 5; Chippewa, Sault Ste, Marie, Thursday, September 7; Luce, Newberry, Tuesday, September 12; Schoolcraft, Manistique, Thursday, September 14; Roscommon, Roscommon, Wednesday, September 27; Otsego, Gaylord, Thursday, September 28; Alger, Mtlnlslng, Tuesday, October 10; Baraga, L'Anse, Thursday, October 12; Dickinson, Iron Mountain, Saturday, October 14; Kent, Grand Rapids, Tuesday, October 24; Oscoda, Mio, Wednesday, November 1, Asfieisment bf Counties Is Low. Over 40 counties in the state have sent in to the auditor general an equalization made of the properties of their counties by the supervisors for the present year, which will be used by the state board of equalization when that body meets in Lansing next month. The counties which have made such report and compared the list with the equalized valuation as placed on the same counties five years ago by the state board of equalization, and with a few exceptions the assessed valuation made by the supervisors for the present year 1B less than the amount fixed by the state board of equalization five years ago. Here is the peculiar situation. The members of the state board expect that they will boost the valuation of the state at least nearly $2,600,00^,000, and according to the valuation placed on the counties by the respective boards of supervisors, they will come only about half way in placing a valuation that will meet with the approval of the state board of equalization. Following are some of the comparisons, counties being picked from different sections of the state: Equallted value Five years as placed by ago by County. supervisors, state board. Allegan $22,500,000 - $22,600,000 Roscommon 1,683,000 1,000,000 Ontonagon 4,211,000 5.000,000 Livingstone 15.000,000 16,500,000 Houghton ......... 89,000,994 140,000.000 Van Buren 14,500,000 17.000.000 Hillsdale 22.644,000 23,000,000 Ioni* 21,438,000 22,000.000 Eaton 22,500,000 24.000.000 Keweenaw 6,000.000 7.500,000 Crawford 1,800.000 1,600,060 State Fair Auto Show. Indications are that the automobile show in connection with the state fair In September will be larger than a year ago, when the feature was inaugurated. Manager Wllmot is very optimistic over conditions. The drawing for the space took place this week when the ground floor/ was divided among the dealers. The second floor bas been allotted to the Detroit manufacturers and outside cars and accessory firms will find place there. The motor car ihow will be confined to the first floor. Good Sugar Best Crop. Michigan will harvest the greatest crop of sugar beets ever harvested in any state In the Union this year. Approximately 150,000 acres are planted, and next fall fanners will receive more than $8,000,000 for their beets. The crop prospects were never better, the dry, hot weather advancing the beeti in sugar percentage. Farmers estimate that the crop it now two weeks in advance of its nana! condition, 'V {••i'tj RAINS STAMP OUT AND CHECK FOREST FIRES NORTHERN MICHIGAN BREATHES EASY AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF FIGHTING FLAMES. WORK OF RELIEVING AU SABLE AND OSCODA SUFFERERS GOES ON. Investigation Shows That Earlier Report* of the Forest Fires. in the Northern Part of the State Werfe Exaggerated. Heavy showers ranged over all the northern and eastern steiion of the fire zone in northern Michigan, falling where the greatest danger lay, Millersburg, Onaway and Tower experiencing drenching rains, while at Metz and Lachine hail accompanied the rain. The people of the devastated region received the rain with joy. Hymns were sung and prayers said. Men, women and children stood out in the open and let the drops soak them. Investigation by correspondents who have been over the ground show that earlier reports of the forest fires in the northern part of the state were greatly exaggerated. In Cheboygan and Presque Isle counties they were the worst, but even there they were not as bad as was feared at first. About half the buildings in Millersburg were burned before a lucky change of wind saved the town. Tower also suffered, but the fire jumped past Onaway. Millions of feet of sawed lumber at Waters were burned, but the town was not touched by fire. This fire was not the result of forest fires, but was caused by a spark from a locomotive. Nowhere else along the line of the Michigan Central from Bay City to Cheboygan are there fires to amount to anything. Work of relief of refugees from stricken towns of Oscoda and Au Sabie goes on, principally at East Tawas, where most of them are quartered. The discovery of the charred remains of one man at Oscoda raised the death list in the twin towns to four. There have been no forest fires in Alcona county. Hillman, the chief city of Montmorency county, reported endangered, is found safe. The jtotal forest fire damage in Montmorency county is probably $50,000. TfiS^e is no further danger there. ; GOVERNOR APPOINTS MEN TO HANDLE RELIEF. Gov. Osborn has appointed the following to compose a state commission to,, handle the fire_relief work; .. - - George G: Booth, Milton McRae, Capt. Fred Alger, Henry Ford, Detroit; Clarence Cotton, Grand Rapids; Homer Busk, Bay Citv; George W. Morley, Saginaw; Frank Fletcher, Alpena; A. E. Packard, Charlotte; J. W. Wells, Menominee; J. D. Dort, Flint; J. E. Beal, Ann Arbor; R. E. Olds. Lansing; CQI. P. L. Irish, Kalamazoo; Dr. W. H. Sawyer, Hillsdale; William Hovey, Benton Harbor; John Carton, Flint; John Grant, Manistee; Otto Fowle, Soo; A.'T. Woodruff, Bay City; Mayor-James Laberg, East Tawas-; CL W. Luce, East Tawas, and Albert S ^ Sleeper, Lansing. CITIZENS DECIDE TO REBUILD. ^ A grand spirit of gameness was shown by the- citizens of Au Sable and Oscoda at a mass meeting and it was decided to rebuild and have only one city. Several merchants announced that they would develop temporary structures and be doing business within :?0 days. Chae. B. Sawyer stated that Detroit was ready to do what it could. J. D. Hawks, vice-president and general manager of the D. & M., was present and Btated that his road would do everything for the sufferers. The meeting was held in the little frame school house still standing, the people being summoned by the ringing of the school bell Relief supplies afford plenty of food and shelter and only clothing is needed. Twenty houses in Oscoda, a school house, a bank and a railway station only buildings left. Four lives are known to have be en lost and several more names may be added to the list of fatalities when the ruins are cleared away. The large lumber mills of the H. N. Loud's Sons' company and every business enterprise in the two townc were completely wiped out, the loss totaling over $1,000,000. Military department of the state sends all the available tents to stricken cities, with detachment of hospital corps to care for the sick. At a meeting of the public domain commission, called by Secretary of State Martindale, it was decided to raise whatever money was necessary for the protection of life and property in the state, as a result of the forest fires. There is, of course, some question as to whether the auditors ha've the right to raise the money, but all red tape was cast to the winds, and the auditors are willing to take a chance at this critical period. $200,000 Loss in Presque Isle County. The fire losses in Presque iBle county were along the railroad only, Rogers City and Metz were never touched, but the people were ready to move out, thinking of the 1908 horror. The total loss in Presque Isle county is about $200,000. All danger is over now. The homes of the lighthouse keepers burned at Sable Point. Nothing Left to Feed Forest Fires. There are no forest fires in Ogemaw county, and have been none this year. The forest fires of three years ago practically cleaned up all the down timber and inflammable refuse left by lumbermen, leaving nothing for running fires to feed upon. Otsego Loss $250,000. Five lumber camps were wiped out by fire in Otsego county. The M. C. railway lost 50 cars. Thirty farm houses and 1,000,000 feet of logs burned. The total loss in the county is reported at $250,000. The danger is past. The Stephens Co. loss in $5,000 Covers Loss in Wexford County. The total fire loss in Wexford county during the week will not exceed $5,000. Missaukee county will have a similar loss. Crawford Loss Is $100,000. Fires in Crawford county and vicinity are extinguished. Revision places the lumber loss in this county at $100,000, Vandertilt has not at any time been in any serious danger from forest fires, repcrts sent to the contrary notwithstanding. There has been no rain in this section to quench the smoldering fires. Rep. Loud Depressed by. Fire Losses. Congressman George A. Loud" passed through Bay City on his way from Washington to Au 3able. He was very much depressed by the great fire in that place and Oscoda. In addition to his losses in the lumber business, the souvenirs gathered in three trips across the Atlantic, three across lumber at Waters was 2C.000.000 |eet, the Pacific, and one around the world, making a mile of ash heaps. Crops suffered considerably. At Berryville a store building, several residences and a school house were burned. A. Glaaer, farmer, was burned out, and two farmers lost their barns and crops. Trowbridge, a place of a few settlers, located two miles south of Wolverine, which was reported burned, was saved by hard effort. No settlement or town in this vicinity is now in danger. In the east end a fire patrol is being maintained. Among the timber losses is a million feet of skidded logs between Wolverine and Legrande, and a half million logs east of Gaylord. both belonging to Kneeland & Bigelow, of Bay City. as well as his films of Panama and the Philippines, were all destroyed. Scattered Lumber Loss. The Richardson Lumber Co. of Bay City lost a total of $40,000 in lumber fires at Alpena, Oxbow and on the Hurst f branch of the Michigan Central. The White Lumber Co. of Boyne City lost $45,000 in cut lumber at their No. 6 camp, near Wolverine. The Kneeland Bigelow Co. of Bay City lost one camp and $15^000 in logs in Montmorency county. Tower's Loss $60,000. The loss at Tower was probably $50,000, including 20 D. & M. railway oars and a shingle mill. The loss is slight throughout the rest of Cheboygan county. The Eaton County Savings bank at Charlotte will purchase the Merchants' National bank. Combined resources are over $700,000. Dr. E. D. Ford, of Cambria, Wis., has purchased a s,ite of 62 acres at Trout lake, Chippewa county, for a sanitarium and hospital. Ground for the building, which is to cost $20,000, was broken, and the work is to be rushed. A bank and several manufacturing enterprises are assured for the town, which is now filled with boomers and speculators. Arrangement*1 have been made for plotting a large addition to the villag e. Throe thousand stray dogs Jnve been killed during"the'past 12 inontns by Boston's official dog catchers . Daniel Wing, of Custer, Mason county, has been appointed deputy state game warden for the western district of Michigan bv State Game Warden Oates. Mr. Wing, who is an Osborn supporter, succeeds B. F. Elms, who held the—office for four comecutive years under the Warner administration, and the appointment was made only after a ipirited fight between the friends of the present administration and of the Warner faction. \ Cheboygan.—Forest fire conditionssouth of here as far aB Alpena. are worse than three years ago, according to reports which are coming in here. All the wires, telegraph and telephone, axe down, s o that information is- meager and not* entirely reliable. According to these reports Watersburg has been hard hit, the mills and business section and over half the residences destroyed. Larocque is surrounded by fires, but is still untouched. Part of Tower is gone and the rest in danger* and the fire is in t*e outskirts of Onaway. At Millersburg 31 houses and the old Gardn«--Peterman mill have been burned. There is a report that two lives have been lost at Larocque, but this cannot be confirmed. Eaton Rapide —The summer meeting of the Michigan State umseng Growers' association will be held in this city. This town has some of the most extensive ginseng beds in the state and it is to give the growers an opportunity to see bow the industry is carried on here that the meeting is to be held here. Grand Rapids.—Archibald Mitchell, the Grand Trunk dispatcher, who fled from the city following the death of Hulda Gustafson, the Muskegon girl, who died following an alleged criminal operation, was returned to this city. He was arrested in Pardgould, Ark., after he had! applied for a job with the Missouri; Pacific railroad. He was immediately arraigned on the charge of manslaughter and demanded an examination, being committed in default of bond. Ann Arbof.-—Frank Moffatt, who claims Chicago as his home, is in the county jail, charged with forging four checks to the amount of $17.50.

The man was riding just below the summit of the ridge, occasionally uplifting his head so as to gaze across the crest, shading his eyes with one hand, to thus better concentrate his vision. Both horse and rider plainly exhibited signs of weariness, but every movement of the latter showed ceaseless vigilance, his glance roaming the barren ridges, a browu Winchester lying cocked acrbs's the saddle pommel, his left hand taut on the rein. Yet the horse he bestrode scarcely required restraint, advancing slowly, with head hanging low, and only occasionally breaking into a brief trot under the impetus ot the spur. The rider was a man approaching thirty, somewhat slender and long of limb, but possessing broad, squared shoulders above a deep chest, sitting the saddle easily in plainsman fashion, yet with an erectnesa of carriage which suggested military training. The face under the wide brim of the weather-worn slouch hat was cleanshaven, browned by sun and wind, and strongly marked, the chin slightly prominent, the mouth firm, the gray eyes full of character and daring. His dress was that of rough service, plain leather "chaps," showing marks of hard usage, a gray woolen shirt turned low at the neck, with a kerchief knotted loosely about the sinewy bronzed throat. At one hip dangled the holster of a "forty-five," on the other hung a canvas-covered canteen. His was figure and face to be noted anywhere, a man from whom you would expect both thought and action, and one who seemed to exactly fit into his wild environment. Where he rode was the very western extreme of the prairie country, billowed like the sea, and from off the crest of its higher ridges, the wide level sweep of the plains was visible, extending like a vast brown ocean to the foothills of the far-away mountains. Yet the actual commencement of that drear, barren expanse was fully ten miles distant, while all about where he rode the conformation was Irregular, comprising narrow valleys and swelling mounds, with here and there a sharp ravine, riven from the rock and invisible until one drew up startled at its very brink. The general trend of depression was undoubtedly southward leading toward the valley of the Arkansas, yet irregular ridges occasionally cut across, adding to the confusion. The entire surrounding landscape presented the same aspect, with no special object upon which the eye could rest for guidance—no tree, no upheaval of rock, no peculiarity of summit, no snake-like trail—all about extended the same dull, dead monotony of brown, sun-baked hills, with slightly greener depressions lying between, interspersed by patches of sand or the white gleam of alkali. It was a dreary, deserted land, parched" under the hot summer sun, brightened by no Slender Spirals of Blue Smoke Were Visible. attacking travelers on trie trails, raiding exposed settlements, and occasionally venturing to try open battle with the small squads of armed men. In this stress of sudden emergency— every available soldier on active duty —civilians had been pressed into service, and hastily despatched to warn exposed settlers, guide wagon trains, or carry despatches between outposts. And thus our rider, Jack Keith, who knew every foot of the plains lyftw between the Republican and the Canadian rivers, was one of these thus suddenly requisitioned, merely because he chanced to be discovered unemployed by the harassed commander of a cantonment just without the environs of Carson City. Twenty minutes later--he was riding swiftly into the norjhwest bearing Important j penniless. 'It w news to General Sheridan, commander j got there, only E of the Department, who happened at vegetation, excepting sparse bunches ' t h a t raoment t o b e at Fort Cairnes. To of buffalo grass or an occasional Keith this had been merely nnothstunted sage bush, and disclosing nowhere the slightest sign of human habitation. The rising sun reddened the crest of the hills, and the rider, halting his willing horse, sat motionless, gazing steadily Into the southwest. Apparently he' perceived nothing there unusual, for he slowly turned his body about in the saddle, sweeping his eyes, inch b'y inch, along the line of the horizon, until the entire circuit had been completed. Then his compressed lips smiled slightly, his hand unconsciously patting the horse's neck. "I reckon we're still alone, old girl," he said quietly, a bit of Southern drawl in the voice. "We'll try for the trail, and take it easy." He swung stiffly out of the saddle, and with reins dangling over his shoulder, began the slower advance, on foot, the exhausted horse trailing behind. His was not a situation in which one could feel certain of safety, for any ridge might conceal the wary foemen he sought to avoid, yet he proceeded now with renewed confidence. It was the summer of 1868, and the place the very heart of the Indian country, with every separate tribe ranging between the Yellowstone and the Brazos, either restless or openly on the war-path. Rumors of atrocities j-were being retold the length and breadth of the border, and every report drifting in to either fort or settlement only added to the alarm. For once at least the Plains Indians bad discovered a common cause, tribal differences had been adjusted in war against the white invaders, and Kiowas, Comanches. Arapaboes, Cheyenne* and Sioux had become welded together in savage brotherhood. To oppose them were the scattered and unorganized settlers lining the more eastern streams, guarded by small detachments ot regular troops posted here and there amid that broad wilderness, scarcely within touch of each other. - Everywhere beyond these Unas, of patrol wandefg*) teejsing war parttoa, er page in a career of adventure; for him to take his life in his hands had long ago become an old story. He had quietly performed the special du^y allotted him, watched a squadron of troopers trot forth down the valley of the Republican, received the hasty thanks of the peppery little general, and then, having nothing better to do, traded his horse in at the government corral for a fresh mount and started back again for Carson-City. For the greater portion of two nights and a day he had been In the saddle, but be was accustomed to this, for he had driven more than one bunch of longhorns up the Texas trail; and as he had slept three hours at Cairnes, and as his nerves were like steel, the thought of danger gave him slight concern. He was thoroughly tired, and It rested him to get out of the saddle, while the freshness of the morning air was a tonic, the very breath of which made him forgetful ^of fatigue. After all, this was indeed the very sort of experience which appealed to him, and always had—this life of peril in the open, under the stars and the sky. He had constantly experienced It for so long now, eight years, as to make it seem merely natural. While he ploughed steadily forward through the shifting sand of tbe coulee, his thought drifted idly back over those years, and sometimes be smiled, and occasionally frowned, as various Incidents returned to memory. It had been a rough life, yet one not unusual to those of bis generation.- Born of excellent family in tidewater Virginia, his father a successful planter, his mother had died while he was still In early boyhood, and he had grown up cut off from all womanly Influence. He had barely attained his majority, a senior at William and Mary's College, when the Civil War came; and one month after Virginia cast in her lot with the tooth, be became a sergeant in a cavalry regiment commanded by btt father. He had enjoyed that Ufa and won hla spars, yet it haft cost There waa mack not over^leaeant to remember, and those strenuous years of almoBt ceaseless fighting, of long night marches, of swift, merciless raiding, of lonely scouting within the enemy's lines, of severe wounds, hardship amTsuTferlng, had left their marks on both body and soul. His father had fallen on the field at Antietam, and left him utterly alone in the world, but he had fought on grimly to the end, until the last flag, of the Confederacy had been furled. By that time, upon the collar of his tattered gray Jacket appeared the tarnished insignia of a captain. The quick tears dimmed his eyes even now as he re called' anew that final parting following Appomattox, the battle-worn faces of hla men, and his own painful journey homeward, defeated, wounded and as no home when he a heap of ashes and a few weed-grown acres. No familiar face greeted him; not even a slave was left. Ho had honestly endeavored to re main there, to face the future and work It out alone; he persuaded himself to feel that this was his paramount duty to the state, to the memory of the dead. But those very years of army life made such a task impossible; the dull, dead monotony of routine, the loneliness, the slowness of results, became intolerable. As it came to thousands of his comrades, the call of the West came to him, and at last he yielded, and drifted toward the frontier. The life there fascinated him, drawing him deeper and deeper Into its swirling vortex. He became freighter, mall carrier, hunter, government scout, cowboy, foreman. Once he had drifted into the mountains, and took a chance In the mines, but the wide plains called him back once more to their desert loneliness. What an utter waste it all seemed, now that he looked back upon it. Eight years of fighting, hardship and rough living, and what had they brought him? The reputation of a hard rider, a daring player at cards, a quick shot, a scorner of danger, and a bad man to fool with—that was the whole of a record hardly won. The man's eves hardened, his lips set firmly, as this truth csme crushing home. A pretty life story surely, one to be proud of, and with probably no better ending than an Indian bullet, or the flash of a revolver in some barroom fight The narrow valley along which he was traveling suddenly changed its direction, compelling him to climb the rise of the ridge. Slightly below the summit he halted. In front extended the wide expanse of the Arkansas valley, a scene of splendor under the golden rays of the sun, with vivid contrast of colors, tbe gray of rooks, tbe yellow of send, the brown of W tant hills, tbe green of vegetation, and the silver sheen of tbe stream half hidden behind the fringe of cot* tonwoods lining its banks. Thrs was a sight Keith had often looked upon, but always with as^reetatton, and fee Ike momsnt h]s eyes swept aeroes from bluff to bluff without thought except for its wild beauty. Then he perceived something which instantly startled him into attention—yonder, close beside the river, just beyond that ragged bunch of cottonwoods, slender spirals of blue smoke were visible. That would hardly be a camp of freighters at this hour of the day, and besides, the Santa Fe trail along here ran close In against the bluff, coming down to the river at the ford two miles further west. No party of plainsmen would ever venture to build a fire in so exposed a spot, and no small company would take the chances of the trail. But surely that appeared to be the flap of a canvas wagon top a little to the right of the smoke, yet all was so far away he could not be certain. He stared In that direction a long while, shading his eyes with both hands, unable to decide. There were three or four moving black dots higher up the river, but so far away he could not distinguish whether men or animals. Only as outlined against the yellow sand dunes could he tell they were advancing westward toward the ford. Decidedly puzzled by all this, yet determined to solve the mystery and unwilling to remain hidden there until night, Keith led his horse along the slant of the ridge, until he attained a sharp break through the bluff leading down into tbe valley. It was a rugged gash, nearly impassable, but a half hour of toil won them the lower prairie, the winding path preventing the slightest view of what might be meanwhile transpiring below,, Once safely out In the valley the river could no longer be seen, while barely a hundred yards away, winding along like a great serpen^, ran the deeply rutted trail to Santa Fe. In neither direction appeared any^slgn of human life. As near as he could determine from those distant cottonwoods outlined against the sky, for the smoke spirals were too thin by then to be observed, the spot sought must be considerably to the right of where he had emerged. With this idea in mind he advanced cautiously, hiB every sense alert, searching anxiously for fresh signs of passage or evidence of a wagon train having deserted the beaten track, and turned south. The trail Itself, dustless and packed hard, revealed nothing, but some five hundred yards beyond the ravine he discovered what he sought—here tw© wagons had turned sharply to the left, their wheels cutting deeply enough into the prairie sod to show them heavily laden. With the experience of the border he was able to determine that these wagons were drawn by mules, two span of each, their small hoofs clearly defined on the turf, and that they were being driven rapidly, on a sharp trot as they turned, and then, a hundred feet further, at a slashing gallop. Just outside their trail appeared the marks of a galloping horse. A few rods farther along Keith came to a confused blur of pony tracks swooping In from the oust, and the whole story of the chase was revealed as though he hful witnessed it with his own eyes. They must havo been crazy, or else impelled by Home grave necessity, to venture along this trail In so small a party. And they were traveling west west! Keith drew a deep breath, and swore to himself, "Of all the blame fools!" lie perceived the picture in all its grewsome details—tho two muledrawn wagons -moving slowly along the trail in the early morning; the band of hostile Indians suddenly swooping out from some obscure hiding place in the bluffs; the discovery of their presence; the desperate effort at escape; the swerving from the open trail in vain hope of reaching the river and finding protection underneath Its banks; the frightened xnuleB galloping wildly, lashed into a frenzy by the man on horseback; the pounding of the ponies' hoofs, punctuated by the exultant yells of the pursuers. Again he swore: "Of all the blame fools!" <T/0 BR CONTINUED.) Manuscript of Thirteenth Century.

Of this number Jhe local help will provide about 1124.000, which will leave about 50,000 extra farm hands. There is, therefore, a great demand for this class of laborers in all parts of Western Canada. In order to meet the requirements it has been arranged to grant very low railway rates from all boundary points reached by Canadian railways. In order to secure these rates it will be necessary for you to> call on one of the following authorized agents of the Canadian government: M. V. McTnnes, 176 Jefferson Avenue, Detroit, Michigan; C. A. Laurier, Marquette, Michigan; J. S. Crawford, Syracuse, N. Y.; Thos. Hetherlngton, Room 202, 73 Tremont Street, Boston, Masa.; H. M. Williams, 413 Gardner Bldg., Toledo, Ohio; Geo.

Grieve, Auditorium Building, Spokane, Wash. This will give to intending harvest laborers a splendid opportunity to look over the magnificent wheat fields of Western Canada and will give them the best evidence that can be secured of the splendid character of that country from the farmer's standpoint. There will be at least 200,000,000 bushels of wheat harvested within tho area of the three provinces above named this year and it Is expected that the yield will run from 15 to 25 bushels per acre. Many farmers, this year, will net, as a result of their labors, as much as $8 to $10 per acre and many of them wiU deposit as profits as much as $8,000» to $10,000. The wide publicity that has been, given to tbe excellent crop that is being raised in central Alberta and southern Alberta, central Saskatchewan and southern Saskatchewan, and also In Manitoba, will increase tho price of lands in these three provinces from ?:i to $5 per acre and the man who was fortunate enough to secure lands at from $12 to f20 per acre will have reason for gratification that ha exercised sufficient forethought' to invest, while the man who was fortunate enough to secure a homestead of 1<>0 acres free will also have a greater reason to feel pleased. Notwithstanding the great addition to the acreage this year over last and the large crop that will be ready for harvest there is no reason to becoma alarmed that the harvest will not be reaped successfully. There will be a great demand for these low rates during the next couple of months; bo .sure to make your application tn any of ihe agents above mentioned that may be in your territory at as early a date as possible. Harvesting will commence about the 2fith of July and continue for five or six weeks, when threshing will begin and there will bo plenty of work until November. Father Loses an Excuse.

Notice The village tax roll for the year 1911 is now in my hand* for collection. H. R. Qear, Tillage Treasurer TRANSLATED By HARRY VAN AMBERG Copyrigbt, 1910, by American Press Association. From tbe date of the first settlement of America there was warfare with tbe Indians, and during the war of the Revolution there was also war with the British. But by that time the Indian fighting had retreated westward. In 1777 Harrodsburg, Ky., was sur rounded by red men, and the people, not daring to go out to bunt for game, were often in great straits for food. The settlement was protected by one of those stockade forts used at that time for keeping off savages, and when they were hostile the Inhabitants of the place were obliged to keep within its inclosure. During this Indian hostility and consequent lack of food a youth of sixteen made himself Invaluable by leaving the fort before dawn, hunting all day and returning after nightfall with the game he had shot. James Ray was the name of this brave boy, and he afterward became a general officer in the United States army. One day Ray and a companion were outside the fort shooting at a mark. Suddenly Ray heard the report of a rifle and his friend fell dead. It did not require a process of reasoning for Ray to know that the shot had come from an Indian. Looking about him he saw the redskin who had killed his friend and raising his rifle was about to shoot him when there was a whoop from another quarter. Then Ray took to his heels and ran like a deer toward the fiort a few hundred yards distant. Ray was a very quick runner. The Indians could not catch him, but they followed him with a brisk fire. He reached the fort without having been hit, but found the gates closed. Those within-had heard the firing, had shut themselves in and were too terrified to open the ga£es. Ray called upon them to let him in, but fearing that if they did the savages would follow him and massacre the garrison they refused to do so. Ray threw himself fiat on the ground, a stump covering him from the fire of the enemy. That is, the Indians couldn't hit him, though their bullets sang in such proximity to his ears as to make him think that the next would cut off one of them, or perhaps tear a strip out of his side or go through his foot. He was but half a dozen steps from the fort, within which he would be safe if be could only get there. But this was impossible so long as the Indians were threatening him. Near enough to see those in the fort Jooking through tbe loop holes he talked with them about ways to extricate him from his position. While the bullets were singing on either side of him he was conversing with his mother. There seemed no way to relieve him except to open the gates, and by doing this many lives might be sacrificed in an ineffectual attempt to save one. There was one in the fort who suffered as much, doubtless far more, than Ray himself. That was his mother. She looked through a loophole, where sbe could see him lying in hia perilous position, and she could see each spurt of smoke as it left an Indian rifle, knowing that it marked the sending of a bullet to kill her boy. And Ray could not only hear the bullet sing by him and feel the dust sprinkling over him, but saw his danger re« fleeted In his mother's face. Hour after hour passed without any change in the situation. When it seemed impossible for him to He any longer in one position and he attempted to change it, the consequent exposure of some portion of his body would draw more fire, admonishing him to endure the constrained attitude rather than risk a wound by trying to relieve it. The ground on each side of him was torn up in furrows by the bullets that had been shot through it. and he was covered by dust they had thrown upon him. Night was coming on and the Indians were drawing nearer. When it became dark there could be nothing to prevent the savages from coming near enough to take hbx or to shoot him from a position where the stump would not protect him. For four hours he had laid in view of those in the fort, his mother trying to encourage him, yet herself needing encouragement, when a sudden thought occurred to bim. '^For heaven's sake," he cried, "dig a hole under the cabin wall and take me in." All wondered why they hadn't thought of the plan before. Pick tnd spade were brought, and a hole was sunk in the ground. Then when it was of a deptb sufficient to excavate under the wall, a channel was run oat to the young hunter and he was drawn within tbe fort. Bay had no sooner emerged from the hole than be found himself hogged in bis mother's arms, and the others crowded round to congratulate him. The redskins beard the shout of triumph that was raised In the fort and knew that the man they were firing at bad escaped. But how? It was still light enough for them to keep in view the stump behind which be bad taken refuge, and had he got up and been assisted ove*v_tbe stockade he would have bean in their roll view. The gate aad not been opened. Surely the' paleface sad bean translated into the fort bf the Great Spirit ££ mmmiMwimfim* To the Citizens of Pinckney and Vicinity.

Every state East of the Mississippi River except Vermont, South Carolina, Kentucky,. Tennessee, Florida-, Mississippi and Illinois have provided state pftoatoria. In Vermont, a private sanatorium is partially used as a state institution, and in Florida, an indefinate provision for such a hospital has been made. The states west of the Mississippi river which have established state sanatoria are, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri* Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Oregon- There are 39 sanatoria provided by these states, Connecticut having three, Massaohnesete four, Pennsylvania three and Texas two. New York state leads in municipal and county hospitals for tuberculosis, having 34, while Ohio, the second on the list has 17, and Massachussets the third, has 9. In these 26 states, which are the only ones having any municipal or county earn for tuberculosis, there are 114 hospitals, i n c l u d i n g special pavilions and almhouses. Hardly more than one-tenth of the cities of 30,000 , population and over, make any local provision for tuberculosis cases, and not onetwentieth of the less populous districts make such provision. In addition to the state, municipal, and county ho3pitaler the federal gwerment provides for certain selected classes in the United States army Hospital at Fort Bayard, N. Mex., the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service Sanatorium at Ft Stanton, N. Mex., the United States Navy Hospital at Las Animas, Colo., and in five special hospitals for Indians on different reservations in the west. Apart from these institutions, and a few special pavilions, hospitals for the insane, and some other public institutions, and a grand total of hardly 200, the institutional care of the consumptive is left to private philanthropy. With 200,000 deaths from consumption every year, and mora than that number of living cases, to poor to pay for their care in private institutions, the National Association says that unleaa the cities, counties and states reelisetheir duty and provide adequate local hospital accomodations for these consumptives, the disease can never be stamped out '•.n • i » '• ..1 iVT^' WHEELS KM COMPLlTllV UNDER BODY You can spread1 manure evenly—the way to get the biggest results— with a Fearless.

There WHB a considerable break in the rocky barrier here, leading back for perhaps a bun d*ed yards, and the plainsman turned his horse that way. dismounting when out of sight among the boulders. He j could rest here until night with little j danger of discovery. He lay down on ! the rocks, pillowing his head on the saddle, but his brain was too active j to permit sleeping Finally he drew j the letters from out his pocket, and j began examining them. They yield-j ed very little information, those taken from the older man having no envelope* to show to whom they h. 1 , been addressed. The single document found in the pocket of the other was a memorandum of account at the Pioneer Store at Topeka, charged to John Sibley, and marked paid This then -HHiet have been the younger man's name, as the letters to the other began occasionally "Dear Will." j They were missives such as a wife might write to a husband long absent, yet upon a mission of deep interest to both. Keith could not fully determine what this mission might be. as the persons evidently understood each other no thoroughly that mere allusion took the place of detail Twice the name Phyllis was mentioned, and once a "Fred" was also referred to. but in neither instance clearly enough to reveal the relationship, although the latter appeared to be pleaded forr"~Certaln references caused the belief that these letters had been mailed from some small Missouri town, but no name was mentioned They were invariably signed "Mary." The only other paper Keith discovered was a brief itinerary of the Santa Fe trail extending as far west as the Raton Mountains, giving the usual camping spots and places where of it now was almost a shock-the miserable shacks, the gaudy saloon fronts, the littered streets, the dingy, unpainted hotel, the dirty flap of canvas, the unoccupied • road, the dull water was accessible. He slipped th« j prairie sweeping away to the horizon, papers back into his pocket with a p|| composed a hideous picture bedistinct feeling of disappointment, j urath the sun glare.

'* That was it; he had the name now —"Black Bart." He straightened up so quickly, his eyes blazing, that the marshal jerked his gun clear. "See here, Jack," shortly, "are yer goin' to raisa a row, or come along quiet?" As though the words had aroused him from a bad dream, Keith turned to front the stern, bearded face. "There'll be no row. Bob," he said, quietly, "I'll go with you." (TO B E CONTINUED.) JEW IN PLACE OF °0WER As Governor of Egypt, Sir Matthew Nathan Would Occupy Position Once Held by Joseph. Should Sir Matthew Nathan, former governor of.Natal, be appointed to succeed Sid Eldon Gorst as governor of Egypt, history will have tRken one of those curious turns that set agog the diBcerners of signs and omens, for this appointment that is pending would place in supreme administrativecontrol of Egypt the second Jew in four thousand years. Sir Matthew Nathan would be the successor to Joseph of his race ln the administration of a country that in the time of Pharoah, who befriended Joseph, waB the granary of the world, and in these later days Is becoming one of the most significant countries of modern times Those who con the sacred Bcrlptures for cues for the turns history may make will seize upon this incident as fulfilling one or another prediction or fancied prediction of th* past, and much may be built upon it In fact, it will be but a coincidence, but one of unusual interest, however. The practical import will be. that Sir Matthew Nathan is reckoned a fine administrator and worthy bf all honor. GERMANY WISHES TO AVOID GIVING ENGLAND AN EXCUSE FOR INTERVENTION. } GERMANY HAS MODIFIED DEMANDS, RELIEVING SITUATION. Great Britain Will Not Intervene So Long as Germany and France Are Trying to 8et-tle the Matter Directly. It is believed in official circles that France and Germany will be able to untie the Moroccan knot by direct negotiations and without opening the doors to the participation of Great Britain and the' other powers. Rosy optimism, however, is not manifested. The German foreign office was fully prepared for Premier Aaquith's statement and now confirms that it had earlier assurances that Great Britain would not intervene so long as Germany and France were trying to settle the matter directly, and also that Chancellor Lloyd George's speech was not meant as a veto of a Franco- German arrangement on the basis ofa French-Congo understanding, as a section of the British press has intimated. Greater optimism regarding the Moroccan trouble prevailed at the French capital, though it was admitted that the negotiations with Germany remain difficult. The Statement by Premier Asquith in the British house of commons and Premier Caillaux's advice to the French to keep cool and be prudent, relieved the tension at a moment when relief was most needed. * * • • ' The dust of their passing still in th*» •ir, Keith rode on. the noise dylns He stood squarely on *both feet, and one hand rested on tlv> butt of a re- <,, away in his rear.

Portugal Fears Revolt. The monarchist invasion of Portttgal from the north, to be followed by a peasant rising, which has been expected daily, has not yet materialized. The monarchist agents permit the information that first one day and then another has heen fixed for the outbreak to fall into the hands of the government. The provisional administration thus Is kept in a state of uneasiness and is obliged to maintain expenslye_measures for defense. Commercial and financial interests are kept worried, not knowing the hour when the projected counter revolution will begin. Rebuilding Oscocta and Au Sable. In the fire which destroyed Oscodaand Au Snble, W. McGillivray, publisher of the Press, lost his entire printing plant. He will resume publication in about a month, and the news is encouraging for the rebuilding of the towns. The fishing business will amount to about $3,000 per year. A logging railroad runs out of the town about. 60 miles, which wlTl convey supplies for the construction of a'big dam. The Cook Site dam is nearly completed and another will be started at once. The Loud Company will begin operations In the lumber business as soon as their insurance is adjusted, It is not expected that they will operate on as large a scale as formerly, and they will employ about 60 men. A largo canning factory, which had just started operation, will be rebuilt. The future of the town is not blasted by the fire, as it is the center of supplies for a dozen little hamlets in the Au Sable valley. The summer resort business is quite an item of income to the'people, and has heen increasing. The first reports were that, the towns would not be rebuilt, but surrounded as they are by a pood farming coun-\ try they will certainly become active and enterprising places again.

In the official call for the first universal race congress, suggested by Prof. Felix Adler, at Eisenach, in July, 1906, the president, Lord Weardale, says: "Great is the historic pride of London. Great also are its manifold tragedies of squalor and poverty. This varied story will be distinguished in the summer of 1911 (July 2C-29), by an episode both brilliant and unexampled. In London will assemble mankind in council.

'J - .-*< 7,T^->, '* * , V '•JlX-'.V..,, Medium Typ« Yorkshire Suited to Michigan Conditions. Up to the present time the pork production of Michigan has come largely from lard type hogs such aa the Poland China, Chester White and Duroc Jersey. These breeds are rather compact of conformation, quick maturing apd furnish carcasses covered with deep layers of fat. In the past there has been a keen demand for the lard hog, but necessities and tastes are changing. Animal fats are being rapidly replaced by vegetable and mineral oils for domestic purposes and also those of lubrication. The consumer Is also demanding a leaner pork, especially bacon. It Is true that there Is a large demand for lard and that this will still continue, but Michigan should leave the production of the lard hog quite largely to the corn belt, where it coin be produced economically In great abundance. The state of Michigan is possessed production of prime bacon on account of the availability of dairy by-product and the universal possibilities of pro- The two breeds of hogs most commonly known as bacon types are the Yorkshires and Tamworth, of which the latter is the nio't extreme. As a rule those accUKtomed'to the compact la I'd types do not like the appearance of the bacon types which are longer of limb, lighter of ham and shoulder, less broad on the back and longer in the nose. It has been universally charged against the bacon type hogs that more feed is required for a given Increase in weight than with the lard types, but of all the numerous experiments made by experiment stations none affirm the general belief. With such wonderfully well suited natural conditions for bacon production, Michigan should take up this specialty and cease competing with the western corn belt in lard production. It may be difficult for the farmer to turn suddenly from one extreme type to another and for this reason we are Inclined to suggest a gradual transition by way of intermediate types. By intermediate types we mean such as are represented by the accompanying Illustration of a York shire, too short of limb, compact, heavy of ham and shoulder and thick EARLY CAREER OF NORDICA of conditions eminently adapted to the -of back to win in a Yorkshire ring with a competent judge.

Methods of poisoning and killing, while good and necessary, must always be done In the house and in this are a disagreeable annoyance. The trap described in our illustration is a large form of a very old scheme which was not a success formerly because made too small and used In the house. ' The trap shown in the illustration, is made of common wire screen, such as is used for doors and windows. The top and bottom of the frame are made from nail keg hoops and the •three uprights from lath cut in two. A wire cone is built inside this cylinder and extends about half way to the top of the trap. An opening about one inch in diameter Is cut in the apex of the cone, and it is through this that the flies, enter the trap. This cone should be made first and tacked on the outside of the bottom hoop before the outer cylinder of screen Is put o»v The cut edges of the screen $an be tacked to the lath thus making It fly tight. The top can be closed by tying a cloth oyer it which can be removed when the trap is emptied. The uprights should extend one-half on Tamworth sows gives an excellent Intermediate type. Prolificacy, abundant milk production and good motherhood are present in high degree in the Tamworth females, the same being also true of Yorkshires. inch below the lower hoop, thus hold ing the trap up from the floor and allowing flieB and other Insects to crawl under and reach the bait. The trap should be set up in some sunny place near the back door or in the stable where1 flies are thick, and baited with such material as Is known to attract flies. The trap operates successfully when rotting fruit is placed on the floor under it, because the flies will come to it and later light on the Inside of /the cone and later crawl up through the opening above. An Effective Fly Trap. If plenty of new bait, such as sweetened refuse from the kitchen, is placed under the trap every day quantities of flies will be captured and will soon die and fall to the bottom. A trap observed by the writer contained over one quart of flies on the second day after setting up. Grading and Picking of Fruits Br C P. HALUGAN, At***t ifofertrtefW Mithitf* Tarm Sthtd. Michigan fruit growers are about to harvest a bountiful crop of fruit. Most kinds at present seem to be prime condition, especially that which has been well sprayed and cultivated. Many growers will fail to receive the full value of their crops, however, through carelessness in grading and packing. Grading is something which cannot be overdone. The more rigidly it la performed the better it pays. With the prospects of a heavy crop, which means a well supplied market, much of the poorer grades or carelessly packed fruit will be shiped at a toss. Good grading require* good judgment and experience. All unmarketable specimens should • first be discarded.

In her enthusiasm she took the accompanist's place at the piano. "Work ahead and you will be great." she said simply. Being warm hearted, she added: "When you come to London I will help you," That friendly offer was unfortunately never realized, for Mme. Tietjens died not long after. ^ "While they were talking a little old lady came in, a harpist at that time in the orchestra. Mme. Maretzek, widow of the impresario. She had been a prima donna. Her interest took a practical turn. 'Come to me on Staten Island next summer/ she generously offered, 'and I will coach you in your roles." "That summer Nordica studied 20 roles. In the autumn she came out In concert in New York with Brignoli and in the early spring following was fairly lavmched on her career as soloist with Gilmore's bard, an organization ranking with Sousa's. The test was strenuous for one so young—often two concerts a day and arduous travel, for they toured the whole country. "Gilmore, with his warm, Irish heart, recognizing her gifts as well as her pluck, once exclaimed: 'You will yet be crowned Queen of Song in your own country.' Years later Mme. Nordica recalled his words when a diamond tiara from American admirers was passed over the footlights to her at the Metropolitan Opera h o u s e i n New York." M A R £ U 8 B , CALIFORNIA, LAND FOB PROFITABLE FARMING. Marcuse Colony, located in Sutter County, which is in the heart of the Sacramento Valley, is fast coming to the trout W,a/farming community in which nearly every agricultural product known may be successfully raised without irrigation. The soil Is a dark, sandy loans, sedimentary in character, level and well drained. It has the advantage over other soils in that it is loose in character and superior to heavy soil*. With this wealth of soil, abundance of water, unexcelled climate and long growing beason, Marcuse Colony is the ideal place for the horoeseeker with limited means, the worn out professional man, or the young man looking for a small farm in a healthful climate. The proximity of Marcuse Colony to Sacramento, furnishes a ready market for vegetables, poultry, eggs and dairy products. Fruits, vegetables, alfalfa, grains and grasses and poultry yield large returns. The rainfall is certain and drought is unknown. Land is yet moderately priced, but crop failures in other sections of the United States will bring new settlers in rapidly. This, together with the holding of the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco during 1915, is bound to raise the price, and whether for a home, or tor an investment, now is the time to purchase. Land may be had In tracts suitable to the ] means of all and the results obtained are almost beyond belief.

Walter Barnes of Boston, who keeps a. close watch on things athletic in New England, says: "Burr, Fish, VVlthlngton and Fisher, the successive Harvard football captains, have been notable examples of the scholar in athletics at Harvard. Hamilton Fish's appointment as an instructor in government at Harvard is an index of his mental caliber." WOULDN'T ANY WOMAN? Human Endurance. No test of human endurance from the physical standpoint can compare in severity with that imposed upon the workers In the Pteel and iron mills of the Pittsburg district, declares a writer in Current Literature. By a singilar paradox an idea prevails among the workers themselves that these labors of theirs are healthful. The whole subject has just been investigated with pains and thoroughness by the expert of the New York state department of labor, John A. Fitch, who finds the workers for The" most part healthy, but he suspects that this excellent physical condition i s , due to the precautions taken by the men, and not to the capacity they possess for withstanding the terrific strain to which they are subjected daily. The severity of the strain Itself is due to the incredible heat, imposing, as It does, the most tremendous of all physical tests to which the human organism is subjected in any form of recognized human activity. What Mr. Fitch has to say on the subject is confirmed by the best medical opinion he was enabled to consult in the course of the long Btudy of conditions made for the Russell Sage foundation. The heat has effects so marked that on a street car the men employed where the high te/iperature strikes their faces can be singled out because of their peculiar complexion.

It will probably be an item of news to most of our readers that our genial postmaster is not compelled to make change for you when you make purchases at Undo Sam's office. This is a queer rule that not one in a thousand persons know. Buyers of stamps or any purchases at a postoffice must furnish his own change, i. e>, the postmaster could insist on the buyer furnishing his own change if he sees fit to do it; but, usually the postmaster is glad enough to get rid of his "chicken feed," and he is always ready and willing to accommodate the publio by making all the change it asks for. If a man wishes to bny fifty cents worth of stamp i and had but a silver dollar, he would be compelled to buy a dollar's worth of stamps or go and get his silver dollar changed or do without the stamps if the postmaster was stubborn and refused to make change* for him.

Oaaraateed by W.JsV Brown tbs druggist, The Pardon Paperweight. Under the headline "A Queer Municipal Grift" a Vienna paper tells tbls story: "In the year 18& a private soldier atatseaed at Sass killed an officer of his regiment sod was condemned to he shot. Comrades who knew the extenuating* circumstances, friends, priests, relatives—all pleaded in vain for mercy, the colonel in Whose hands the matter rested insisting on the death penalty. The day came and the man was taken to the place of execution. Six members of hto regiment, armed with rifles, one oxHrfilclPcoatained. a blank cartridge, took their places as executioners. The man's eyes were bandaged and with'arms securely pinioned he stood randy for the volley, shouting 'Comrades, aim well!' when a mounted courier dashed into the crowd waiving a white flag, crying 'Pardon!' He was Lieutenant Baron du Mont, with the colonel's pardon, which would have been useless had it arrived one minute later. The municipality secured the five bullets from the firing squad, had them silvered and mounted in the form of a tiny pyramid on a silver plate, and this, suitably inscribed, is known as the 'pardon paperweight,' the only one of its kind." The Uaeful Crocodile Fiah. In the rivers and lakes of the Mexican state of Tabasco there swims a fish known as the "crocodile fish" which is most useful to man. The skin of the crocodile fish, if properly cured, may be Utilized for any of the purposes for which the lighter weights of leather are employed. The oil of the crocodile fish is a perfect lubricant and also used for softening leather. In addition to its qualities as a lubricant and emolient. the oil possesses medicinal qualities for which a superiority to the finest of Norwegian cod liver is claimed. The flesh of the crocodile fish is extensively used by the natives as food and highly relished by them as one of the delicacies of the country. Crocodile fish range in length from ten inches to four feet, and when dried assume an ashen hue, with lighter shadings of a bluish tint.—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Poor Human Nature. The woman who had succeeded in that rather difficult task—making a boarding house pay—was confiding to a friend some of the tricks of the trade. "While you must never allow your boarders to get too far behind in their payments, it is also true that you will profit considerably by allowing them a little leeway. So long as you are sure OF your money it pays a landlady to have her boarders a week or two behind in their board." "I don't see that," interrupted her tinm friend. — "Well, I'll tell you," continued the landlady. "When a man owes back board you have him at a certain disadvantage. Not one in a hundred under such tircumstances has the nerve at mealtimes to ask for a second helping.— New York Times. The Human Lobster. The lobster has always appealed to the Englishman as affording a nickname for bis fellow Englishman. "Lobster" was a favorite term of abuse among the Elizabethans, though it is only conjectural that an allusion to red faces was conveyed. As signifying a soldier, "lobster" originated in the civil war, being applied to the Roundhead cuirassiers, as Clarendon explains, "because of the bright iron shells with which they were covered." Afterward the allusion was transferred to the soldier's red uniform. But that waa the "boiled lobster." The "raw lobster" was naturally the man in blue, the policeman. In earlier days we find Grose explaining that "to boil one's lobster" meant for a clergyman to become a soldier.—London Chronicle. The Man With the Iron Mask. The Man With the Iron Mask was a mysterious French prisoner of state, whose Identity has never been satisfactorily established. He was closely confined under the charge of M. de St. Mars at Pignerol in 1679, at Exiles in 1681, at Sainte-Marguerite in 1687 and finally was transferred to the Bastile in 1698. where he died on Nov. 19, 1703. and was burled the following tu a • u A _ -_i— TO Aiday in the cemetery of St. Paul under tbe Bpamsn-Amerlcan War, and<>the n a m e ^ MarchialL Dumas made him a twin brother of Louis XIV. is A Veloane.

If. Sj48P.lt When coal oil was found in West Virginia among tbe few who.held on to their land was the widow Turner. When the -widow Turner was left to care for herself she possessed sixty acres of sterile land, a wretched old cabin, a mule and a cow. She had always worked In the nejd with her husband. She was a large, bony woman, unable to read or write, and tbe very homeliest among a lot of homely women. No one predicted that she would marry again, and she had no encouraging. thoughts herself. Sh«» lived atone, and all tbe farm work was dune by her ffwn lianu^. When tbe oil excitement got started, all the landowners around the widow Turner sold out She alone held ou. She was offered five times what lier farm was considered worth, but she shook ber head. As a matter of fact, she was frightened. Then along came a tin peddler. She had dealt with blm before and found him honest She told him her troubles, and he said: "Widow, I am going to talk plainly to you. You are as ignorant as a mule and as homely as a stump fence." "I know it," was the answer. "If things bad run along as they were going you couldn't have found a man in the United States to marry you." "I admit .that" "But now you can. You can not only find a husband, but money with him. Let me tell you what to do." They had a long conversation, and the result of it was that when an of* fer for tbe farm was renewed next day It was accepted with tC proviso. The widow demanded $50,000 in cash and a bosband. It was acceded to at once. It would be very easy to find a man to marry her and run away afterward. .Plenty—of them could $0 Hired fori $2,000. But tbe widow wanted an acceptable husband. That was different. Thirty men were paraded betore her, and she rejected every one. The capitalists had figured on a soft thing and got left. After two months' search and after fifty men had been brought forward one was found to fill the bill. He was no scrub. On the contrary, be, was a broken down gentleman.

It was in reply to a resolution of the senate reguesting the president to transmit to the senate all the documents relating to the elimination from the Chugach national forest, in Alaska, of land fronting upon Controller bay. Mr. Taft seizes the occasion occasion to make a vigorous defense of his own honor and that of his brother, Charles P. Taft, against the attacks made in relation to this Controller bay "scandal." The president sent in all the documents asked for, and more, and 8uotes the executive order in question, by which 12,800 acres were eliminated from the national forest. His message describes the importsnee of Controller bay as a railway terminal and relates the operations of the Copper River railroad, owned by the Morgan-Guggenheim interests, whose terminal is at Cordova. Ryan'* Application Investigated. In December, 1909, Richard S. Ryan applied for the Controller bay elimination, afterward granted," stating that he represented the Controller Railroad and Navigation company. Mr. Talt tells how this application was referred to the district foresters at Portland, Ore., and in Alaska and vas approved by Chief Forester trlbuted to a newspaper correspondent that in an examination of the files of the interior department a few weeks ago a postscript was found attached to a letter of July 13, 1910, addressed by Mr. Richard 8. Ryan to Secretary Ballinger—and in the present record —urging the elimination of land enough for terminals for the Controller Railway & Navigation company. The postscript was said to read as follows: "Dear Dick: I want to see the president the other day. He asked me who It was I represented. I told him according to our agreement, that I represented myself. But that didn't seem to satisfy him. So I sent for Charlie Taft and asked him to tell his brother, the president, who it was I really represented. The president made no further objection to ray claim. Yours, DICK." Uses Strong Language. "The postscript is not now on the files of the department. If It were, it would be my duty to transmit it under this resolution. Who is really responsible for its wicked fabrication if it ever existed, or for the viciously false statement made as to Its authenticity, is immaterial for the purposes of this communication. The purport of the alleged postscript is, and the intention of the fabricator was, to make the latter was away for his vacation for two months, must Impress •veryone. Places the Blame. "The person upon whose statement the existence of what has been properly characterized as an amazing postscript is based, is a writer for newspapers and magazines, who was given permission by Secretary Fisher, after consulting with me, to examine all the ftltm \n rampant tn thm Pnntunilaj fiB» ~ matter—and this under the supervision of Mr. Brown, then private secretary of the secretary of the interior. After the examination, at which it is alleged this postscript was received from the band of Mr. Brown, the correspondent prepared an elaborate article on the subject of thiB order and Controller Bay, which was submitted to Mr. FiHher, and which was discussed with Mr. Fisher at length, but never in the conversation between them or in the article submitted did the correspondent mention the existence of the postscript. Mr. Brown states that there was no such postscript in the papers when he showed them to the correspondent and that he never saw such a postscript. Similar evidence is given by Mr.'Carr and other custodians of the records in the interior department. "Stronger evidence of the falsity and maliciously slanderous character of the alleged postscript could not be had. Its only significance is the light It throws on the bitterness and venom of some of those who take active part in every discussion of Alaskan issues. Seandal-Mongering Denounced. "I am in full sympathy with the concern of reasonable and patriotic men that the valuable resources of Alaska should not be turned over to be ex plotted for the profit of greedy, absorbing and monopolistic corporations or syndicates.

As a reBult, after an interclew between the president and Mr. Ryan, an order was drafted eliminating 320 acres. Meanwhile Mr. Ryan had satisfied '.he president and other officials that ae and his associates had no connection with the Morgan-Guggenheim interests and were engaged in an Inlependent enterprise in good faith to auild an independent railroad. The question again came before the cabinet, and the president, with the approval of the secretaries of the interior and agriculture, changed the order so that It eliminated 12,800 acres, with sufficient room for & railroad town. The message says: 'I was willing to do this because I Pound the restrictions in the law sufficient to prevent the possibility of my monopoly of either the uplands ar the harbor or channel by the Controller Railroad and Navigation company or any other person or concern." These restrictions the president sets forth at length, and shows that the Ryan company has not the slightest opportunity for exclusive appropriation of the harbor facilities unless congress shall by future act Jellberately and voluntarily confer it. The "Dick to Dick" Letter. Coming to the personal side of the matter, Mr, Taft says: "Before closing, I desire to allude to a circumstance which the terms of this resolution make apt and relevant It is a widely published statement at- Cover for Bathtub. Many housekeepers spend a lot of time cleaning their bathtubs Here is a way to make the work less strenu ous: Cut a piece of unbleached nous Un the size of the tub and round off the edges to fit It. a bias facing is tnen stitched round the cover, and through this a piece of tape Is run.

I was at first opposed in the public Interest to granting the elimination which he requested, nevertheless through, the undue influence of my brother, Mr. Charles P. Taft, and the disclosure of the real persons 1» interest, I was Induced improperly and for the promotion of their private gain, to make the order. "The statement In so far as my brother is concerned—and that is the chief feature of the postscript—Is utterly unfounded. He never wrote to me or spoke to me in reference to Richard S. Ryan or on the subject of Controller Bay or the granting of any privileges or the making of any orders in respect to Alaska. He has no interest in Alaska, never had, and knows nothing of the circumstances connected with this transaction, He does not remember that he ever met Richard 9. Ryan. He never heard of the Controller Bay railroad until my cablegram of Inquiry •reached him, which, with his answer, is in the record. "Mr. Ballinger says in a telegram In answer to my inquiry, both of which are in the record that he never received such a postscript and that he was in Seattle on the date of July 13, when it was said to have been written. "Mr. Richard S. Ryan in a letter which he has sent me without solicitation, and which is in the record, says that he never met my brother, Mr. Charles P. Taft, and that so far as he knows, Mr. Charles P. Taft never had the slightest interest In Controller Bay, in the Controller Railway and Navigation company, or in fthy Alaskan company, and he utterly denies Writing or signing the alleged postscript.

The loss, although impossible to estimate in round numbers, certainly will mount in the millions, and this in spite of the fact that the controversy has been on only some 13 weeks. Since the beginning of the strike the members of the Brotherhood o f Carpenters and Joiners have been receiving union benefits—married men getting $5 a week and single men getting $4 a week. A conservative estimate will place the number of married men at 1.500 and the single men at 1,000. Taking an average wage of $11 a week it will be seen that each married man loses $5 a week, while each single man loses $6. In addition, there are the carvers, who get nothing, and the finishers, who received union benefits for awhile, but who get them no more. The common laborers get nothing, so that on the whole a conservative estimate; of the losses in wages to the men since the beginning of the strike will reach at least $300,000. The National Brotherhood of Carpenters and; Joiners has Jjeen paying on an average of $12,000 a week in strike benefits. For 13 weeks the amount would total $156,000.% The manufacturers have lost money through being forced to go outside for help, in paying for special trains to bring strike-breakers, in feeding them and housing them and in paying for guards. The outputs of the factories have been curtailed seriously, the income of the plants suffering accordingly. While the IOSK- to the manufacturers is exceedingly heavy •it is impossible to give an estimate. Gov. Osborn Warns W'ar Department. Acting on the result of an inquiry by the state board of health. Gov. Osborn has written to the secretary of war protesting against the work of the government in dumping into the St, Clair river sludge from Black river.

But everyone must^ know that the resources of Alaska can never become available either to the people of Alaska or to the public of the United 8tates unless reasonable opportunity is granted to those who would invest their money to secure a return proportionate to the risk run in the investment and reasonable under all circumstances. "On the other hand, the acrimony of spirit and the Intense malice that have been engendered in respect of the administration of the government In Alaska and In the consideration of measures proposed for her relief and the wanton recklessness and eagerness with which attempts have been made to besmirch the characters of high officials having to do with the Alaskan government, and even of persons not in public life, present a condition that ^ calls for condemnation and requires that the public be warned of the demoralization that has been produced by the hysterical suspicions of good people and the unscrupulous and corrupt misrepresentations of the wicked. The helpless state to which the credulity of some and the malevolent scandal- mongering of others have brought the people of Alaska in their struggle for its development ought to give the public pause, for until a juster and fairer view be taken, Investment in Alaska, which is necessary to its development, will be impossible, and honest administrators and legislators will be embarrassed in the advocacy and putting into operation of those policies in regard to the territory which are necessary to its progress and prosperity.

CHAPTER XIX.—Continued. He waited and looked at her curiously as If wondering what her answer would be. He waited some time, and then slowly she said: "I tiring.—you had better go!" "You don't mean that!" he exclaimed, In gemrine surprise. She shook her head affirmatively. "Yes, I do," she said; "your father wants you to take your position in the world, the position you are entitled to, the position your association with me prevents you from taking—" Howard drummed his fingers on the tablecloth and looked out of the window. It seemed to her that his voice no longer had* the same candid ring as he replied: "Yes, father has spoken to me about It. He wants to be friends, and I—" He paused awkwardly, and then added: "1 admit I've—I've promised to consider it, but—" Annie finished his sentence for him: "You're going to accept his offer, Howard. You owe it to yourself, to your family, and to—" She laughed as she added: "I was going to say to millions of anxiouB readers." Howard looked at her curiously. He did not know if she was jesting or in earnest. Almost impatiently he ex- •claimed: "Why do you talk In this way against .your own interests? You know I'd like to be friendly with my family, and all that. But it wouldn't be fair to you." "I'm not talking against myself, Howard. I want you to be happy, and you're not happy. You can't be happy under these conditions. Now be honest with me—can you?" "Can you?" he demanded. "No!% she answered, frankly, "not unless you are." Slowly she went on: •"Whatever happiness I've had in life I owe to you, and God knows you've had nothing but trouble from me. I did wrong to marry you, and I'm willing to.pay the penalty. I've evened matters up with your family; now let me try and square up with you." "Evened up matters with my family?" he exclaimed in surprise. "What do you mean?" With a smile she replied ambiguously: "Oh, that's a little private matter of my own!" He stared at her, unable to comprehend, and she went on, gravely: "Howard, yeu must do what's best for yourself. I'll pack your things. You can go when- you please—" He stared gloomily out of the window without replying. After all, he thought to himself, it was perhaps for the best. Shackled as he was now, he would never be able to accomplish anything. If they separated, his father would take him into his business. Life would begin for him all over again. It would be better for her, too. Of course, he would never forget her. He would provide for her ; comfort. His father would help* him arrange for that.

There was reproach in her voice as she continued; "Ah, Howard, you're such a boy! A little pleasure trip and the past is forgotten!" A look of perplexity came over his face. Being only a man, he did not grasp quickly the finer shades of he; meaning. With some irritation, he de manded: "Didn't you say you wanted me to go and forget?" She nodded. "Yes, I do, Howard. You've made me happy. I want you to be happy." He looked puzzled. "You say you love me?" he said, "and yet you're happy because I'm going away.

"I knew you were going to scold me," she smiled. "Scold you?" he said, kindly. " N o - it's myself I'm scolding. You did what you thought was riglit, and I allowed you ,to do what I knew was wrong." "You made two miserable women happy," she said? quietly. The lawyer tried to suppress a smile. "I try to excuse myself on that ground," he said, "but it won't work. I violated my oath as a lawyer, my integrity as a man, my honor, my selfrespect, all upset, all gone. I've been a very unpleasant companion for myself lately." Rising impatiently, he strode up and down the room. Then turning on her, he said, angrily: "But I'll have no more lies. That's what brings me here this morning. The first move they make against you and I'll tell the whole truth!" Annie gazed pensively out of the window without making reply. "Did you hear?" he said, raising his voice. "I shall let the world know that you sacrificed yourself for that weman." She turned and shook her head. "No, judge," she said, "I do not wish i t If they do succeed in influencing Howard to bring suit against me I shall not defend it." Judge Brewster was not a patient man, and if there was anything that angered him it was rank injustice. He had no patience with this young woman who allowed herself to be trampled on in this outrageous way. Yet he could not be angry with-her.

"If hoys of 25 are not men they never will be." Looking down at her kindly, he went on: " 'Pon my word! if I was 25, I'd let this divorce go through and marry you myself." "Oh, judge!" That was all she could say, but there was gratitude in the girl's eyes. These were the first kind words any one had yet spoken to her. It was nice to know that some one saw some good in her. She was trying to think, of something to say, when suddenly there (Was the click of a key being inserted in a yale lock. The front door opened, and Howard appeared.

Changing the topic, he said: "So you're going abroad, eh?" "Yes, did Annie tell you? It's only for a few months." The lawyer frowned. Tapping the floor Impatiently with his cane, he said: "Why are you going away?" Taken aback at the question, Howard stammered: "Because—because—•" "liecause I want him to go," interrupted Annie qutckly. The lawyer shook his head, and looking steadily at Howard, he said sternly: "I'll tell you, Howard, my boy. You're ^oing to escape from the scandalmongers and the gossiping busybodies. Forgive me for speaking plainly, but you're going away because your wife's conduct is a topic of conversation among your friends—" Howard interrupted him. "You're mistaken, judge; I don't care a hang what people Bay—" "Then why do you leave her here to fight the battle alone?" demanded the judge, angrily. Annie advanced, and raised her hand deprecatlngly. Howard looked at her as If now for tlje first time he realized the truth. "To fight the battle alone?" he echoed. "Yes," said the judge, "you are giving the world a weapon with which to strike at your wife!" Howard was silent. The lawyer's words bad struck home. Slowly he said: "I never thought of that. You're right! I wanted to get away from it all. Father-offered me The chance and Annie told me to go—" Annie turned to the judge. "Please, judge," she said, "don't say any more." Addressing her husband, y i e went on: "Hd didn't mean what he said, Howard." "Howard hung his head. "*Je's quite right, Annie," he Mtld, shamefacedly. "I never Bhovrid h&¥<t consented to go; I was wrong," JtidgeN Brewster advanced and patted him kindly on the back. "Good boy!" he said. "Now, Mrs. Jeffries, I'll tell your husband the truth." , \ "No!" she \ried. " "Then I'll telKhirn without your permission," he retorted. Turnthg to the young man, he Went on: "Howard, your wife is an angel! She's too good a •A'oman for this wo\ld. She has not hesitated to sacrifice ^her Brood name, her happiness, to shieldv another woman. And that woman—the^ woman who called at Underwood's rootn that night —was Airs. Jeffries, your stepmother!" Howard stared back in amazement. "It's true, then, I did recognize her voice!" he cried. ' \ Turning to his wife, he said: "Oh, Annie, why didn't you tell me? You saved my stepmother from disgrace, you spared my fathei. Oh, that wafc noble of you!" In a low tone he whispered: "Don't send me away from you, Annie! Let me stay and prove that I'm worthy of you!" To the young wife it all seemed like a dream, almost too good to be real. The dark, troubled days were ended. A long life, bright with its promise of happiness, was before them. "But what of the future, Howard?" she demanded, gently. Judge Brewster answered the question. "I've thought of that," he said. "Howard, will you come into my office and study law? You can show your father what you can do with a good wife to second your efforts." Howard grasped his outstretched band. "Thanks, judge, I accept," he replied, heartily. Turning i o his wife, be took her in bfs arms. Her bead felf on his shoulder.

Then his face broke out all over in red bumps and it kept spreading until It was on his hands and arms. I bought several boxes of ointment, gave him blood medicine, and had two doctors to treat him, but he got worse all the time. He had It about six months when a friend told me about Cuticura. I sent and got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura, Ointment. In three days after using them he began to improve.

TEEPLE HARDWARE COMPANY The fourth triennial meeting of the Pinckney Old Boys and Girls association is a thing of the past and that they were bauner days in the history of Pinckney, goes without a dissenting word. The people from a distance and out of town began to arrive earlier in the week than ever before so there was not the usual train loads at the last days tor they were here to welcome those who arrived later. The weather man must have had the matter in mind for although the dry spell had become almost unbearable, Tuesday after, noon we were visited with a bountiful rain that gave the parched earth a soaking, making the air fresh and clearing everything of dost. Wednesday opened up fair and the Old Boys and "Girls who had gathered enjoyed themselves as only old friends can, some visit, ing, playing ball and many were seen wending their way to the pond with fishing tackle and it was no strange sight to see some of the old boys with bathing suits on the run to the "old swimming hole" for a dip. of the leading of the singiug to which each heart responded in a manner that made one feel that it was good to be there. The following then answered to calls for a toast from the audience. Mr. Ira Kennedy of Milwaukee, Wis., L. F. Hose of Pasadama, Cali., James Allen of New York, Hon. G. W. Teeple all of which were loudly cheered for their timely remarks- 0. Collier of Wayne, Mich., at the request of Hon. G. W. Teeple sang Old Black Joe in his old time emotion and thrill. Long Ago and Nellie Gray were sung at the close with which much thoughtfulness." Miss Franc Burch of Detroit gave the program a fitting culmination and closed with a composition of her own "Reminiscence of "Old Pinckney"! She was encored several timee and each time responded with an original Pianologue. The meeting Thursday on the public square; Pres. E. L. Markey presiding opened the program with an appropriate suggestion to other days; Rev. A. G Gates gave the invocation. The following speakers were then called to the V-xXl MANURE SPREADE1 Think what this means to you? You can put manure where no other spreader can readi; you can manure two acres while the other fellow is doing one, and do it with even less effort and help.

IT la EWgRYRnnvs P A I H Everybody Ought To See It—Every Effort Is Being Put Forward To Make The Michigan State Fair Greatest in Country. What is the Mtcbigau State Fair and Exposition going to bo in 1911? This is a question that is now being C < asked, and will be asked much more frequently during the next few weeks. The real and conerusive answer will be made at the fair grounds the days following September 18th, Before that time it is only possible to judge of what the 1911 fair wtfl be by a consideration of the methods employed by those who are making It and by comparison. President Newton and the oncers and board ol directors of the Michigan State Agricultural Society, and Manager Haunon, have gone into the matter of making the greatest fair and BKiiostUott-ot the Society1! a very thorough, business-like and systematic manner. To the close observer, these gentlemen have already made marked progress and from all obtainable indications it seems sure that they will 'make good." There are several objects which the managers have unitedly determined upon and which they will work unremittingly to attain. These objects are: To make the Michigan State Fair and Exposition one of the greatest educational institutions in the state. To make it a place where all classes and condition of people can come and learn from observation what brains and time and money and perseverance have*achieved in every line of industry, To make it a mirror of the State's resources/and thus Detroit and Michigan's greatest advertising asset. To make it not only the greatest exposition in point of size and atteneducational value. To make it a place where everyone can go and be entertained royally, but entertained without resort to amusements that are not uplifting and moral. To make it a veritable short course in agriculture, stock raising, manufacturing and in every industry that is worth while. To make its location and fts dates in September, the place and the time that will furnish the greatest interest to the greatest number of people ia the great state Is represents. "The greatest o l all fairs, in the fairest of all states," is the claim made by President Newton and his aides for 1911.

At the state fair this year, September 18th to 27-th, the exhibits will be larger than ever, the Western, Northwestern, and Upper Peninsula Development Bureaus having engaged a large section of the building, where they will make their exhibits. The development bureaus are offering special cash prizes for the best display's of fruit and grains and these displays will be well worth seeing. The "Hack to the Farm" movement is attracting a great deal of attention just now nad the exhibits from the farm and orchard have a telling and lasting effect on prospective buyers, The state fair this year is going to be a wonderful show in every department. THE SIMPLE LIFE. By Captain Leslie T. Peacocke. "You fellows may think I'm joking, but you'll find that ouce my mind's made up, it's-made up for good. No more of this sort of game for mo I'm going to live THE S1MPLK LIFE," and Sidney Chapin slammed his finished highball glasrf with emphasis on the round table and rose with a glare of amusing defiance at his three companions. "Ye.s, you will,'' laughed Squatty Dawson sarcastically. "I can see you doing it. Early to bed, and only one drink between moals. That'll be fine, won't it?" "And walking about the wet grass with bare feet, so's to get up his circulation and his appetite for a vegetarian diet," broke in the young stockbroker, Archie Harris, over the rim of his whisky sour. "The simple life's all right. Sid, for fellows that's past •GO, and tor the regular long-hairs, but it won't suit you. Let's have one more drink, boys, and then Chris can give us a spin round in his machine before dinner." "Yes, a ride over to Baldwin's Ranch will do us all good," agreed Chris Mortimer, son of old man Mortimer, the Spring Btreet banker, and , considered the warmest sport in the Jonathan Club, in whose smoking room they were now assembled—with ; the exception, perhaps, of the gay Sidney Chapin, who was thus aston* ishlng ' his companions by announcing hie sodden determination to amend his mode of living. "That'll be fine," said Squatty Dawson. "One more drink now, and another when we get to the Oakwood, and then we can toss who's to pay for dinner at Levy's," and, snapping liis fingers, he attracted the attention *dt & w A iter Sidney Chapin set his hat determinedly on his head. "Not for mine!" h* asserted firmly. "I'm through! There's nothing like rude health, and list night's racket at the Bristol has given me a head that'll take two weeks of the Simple Life to get over. It's either that or the Cooley Cure. I tried the Cure once, and I prefer the Simple Life. You fellows would do bitter If you'd follow my example ejftdQUii right now." 1 T '" ftU«T THOUaHTS. "Oh, nrrst"retorted Chris Mortimer. "What's the use of trying to kid yourself. Why, you're only 25 and just beginning to enjoy life. I've never seen you draw what I call a sober breath, and I've known you for five years. After you've had a couple of highballs at the Oakwood, you won't be talking such foolishness." "I know what it is!" interposed Archie Harris. "Sid has struck a new affinity, and wants to keep her all to himself—some grass-widow most likely who's going to try and reform him. I>ots of 'em are great on that, you know." "Well, she'll have her hands full with Sid," laughed Squatty Dawson. "She's never seen him making Ic^ve to four different affinities all at oncef as we did at Ocean Park last summer. What's she like, Sid?" Chapin muttered an impatient "Pshaw!" and snapped his gold cigarette- case to his pocket. "You fellows never take anything seriously. You just wait, and see what a different man I'll be in a few weeks." "Well, I hope you will," sneered Archie Harris. "There's lots of room for improvement. Where are you going to tackle this wonderful reformation? In a monastery?" "Not quite, but I'm going to live a good, Simple Life all the same. I've fixed myself up a nice IMle place at Catallna that I rented last week. It's about two miles from Avalon, and It's one of the sweetest little cottages you ever saw." "Gatalaina!" cried Squatty Dawson. "That's a queer sort of place to chboso in winter. Wl)at are you going to do there? Fish?" "Yes, fish some, I guess, and take long walks. The hills there are fine and the air's full of ozone. I'm off now to take a Haroman bath, and then I 've got some things to express down to San Pedro." "And when do you leave?" queried Chrjs Moftimer, changing his banter Ing tone, as did the others, on seeing that SMney was In earnest. "Tomorrow morning, by the 9 o'clock boat. I'll be over in Catallna about 11. If you fellows care to come down some day next week, I'll treat you to a fine day's fishjng, and as good a dinner as you'll get here at the chfb.

"Sure, that'll be all right," said Archie Harris. "We can find accommodations at the Metropole. What day shall we make it, Sid?" "Let's see," replied Sidney, calculating. "This is Tuesday. How about next Monday? I'll be all settled by then." "Suit me all right," returned the stockbroker heartily. "How about you fellows? We have nothing on for Monday, have we?" They found the cottage luxuriously and tastefully furnished, and followed their host from room to room with feelings somewhat akin to envy. A hundred and forty pound tuna and a score of yellow-tail rewarded their efforts, which, with the addition of some delectable rock bass, made up a tidy haul, and, the waning sun warning them to desist, they bore the "catch" in triumph to the cottage, and begged the Chinaman to add some of the smaller and most succulent specimens to the bill of fare. The '.Oriental's cooking left nothing to be desired, and the bottles extracted from the ice chest sparkled a fitting accompaniment to the jingling of the heartily-plied silverware and the flow of ready wit. It was near midnight when they rose and hiccuped the body and chorus of a time honored' song In deference to their host; assuring him again and agafh that he was "a jolly good fellow;" and continuing the assurance with unsteady gait afid uplifted voices as he assisted them to the road and into the machine that was to bear them to the Metropole. Chapin gave a sigh of relief as he re-entered, the cottage, mixed himself a modest "night-cap," placed the glass back on the table, and, sweeping the debris of plates and innumerable glasses with suddenly affrighted eyes, gave ah astonished gasp, and called loudly for the Chinaman- "Me no savvy," said Sing Kee, protestingly. "Me no touch any silber at all. All there last time I come into room. You fiends take 'em away to make a joke, maybe. Fiends make joke all the time!" "I guess so!" agreed his master, instantly grasping the situation. "It's that silly fool Squatty Dawson trying . . * _ Virtue is the moral fiber that comes from soul struggle.

I hate practical jokes." His hopes were not fully realized, apparently, for three days later the trio at the Jonathan Club received a caustic letter, setting forth the valuable nature of the silverware, which they were given to understand had been precious to the family of Chapin for several generations. Three days later another and more urgent letter was received, with threats of bodily hurt, and yet three days later a third epistle was delivered into their hands in which legal action of sinister nature was more than broadly hinted at; in answer to which our friend at Catalina Island received the following: "Dear Sid—The tone of your last letter has hurt us .very much. The first two we thought were written as a joke, as we were certain you had discovered the knives, forks and spoons which Squatty merely slipped between the sheets of your own bed.

Everywhere the floating white veil accompanies these cool-looking creations of the milliner. The veils are of lace, in several varieties, in coarse silk nets and in chiffon. They are all washable and add immensely to the attractiveness of the hats and the complexion, for they are worn either over or off the face.

One of the cone-shaped hats,, of which we may expect to see numbers during the fall season, is shown in the illustration. It is trimmed with a full ruche of silk "pinked" at the edges and laid in quadruple box-plaltings. Velvet fruit, like plums, cherries or even apricots, set in these ruchings make a trimming chic and striking. Velvet fruit, in fact, is developing so mucb popularity that it will probably stay with us and add a charming note to winter millinery, and hats made of felt in the shape pictured here are quite like to be trimmed in the same way. A model of black hemp, with a moderatelytall crown, is also shown. It 1B ca^WRfcted to pave the way for extremely high-crowned models, or crowns trimmed extremely high, which Paris says, are to be a vogue for winter. This soft-crowned model makes use of the feather band about the brim edge and is finished with a cluster of upstanding plumes at the back. An ornament made of plaited ribbon finishes the trim, poised on the crown at the right side. TO PREVENT SAGGING SKIRTS Have Garment Properly Prepared Before It Is Turned Up to Be Hemmed. Summer dress Ekirts when made of thin material will always sag after they are hemmed and finished if care is not taken to prevent it. A good way to do is to have the skirt sagged first before it is turned up to be hemmed. This is done after the skirt is completely, finished excepting the hem, from the band to the final fitting and the last hook and eye is in its place. The skirt is now hung in a closet or, better still, put upon a full-length dress form raised from the floor by placing it on a box, and the bias portions of the gores weighted so they will stretch to the fullest extent. After several days of this strain the material will have Bagged to its fullest extent, and the hem may be measured and turned up. Anything will do for weighing. The smallest weights from the kitchen scales, put in temporary coverings of muslin and; pinned on, are excellent. Any other small objects of uniform heaviness will do for other weights. .V ^ Peacock blue Irish poplin Is chosen •or our model.

A SIMPLE BUSINESS METHOD IN DAIRYING By W. B. LIVER ANCE, Iastructor in Dairying, Michigan Agricultural College , Babcock Milk Testing Outfit. Dairying is supposedly carried on for the purpose of securing a profit. The fundamental element acting as the incentive for any business is the returns for the money invested. Too many farmers do not look on their occupation as a business. They consider it only as a means to earn a livelihood and many are too content with this state of affairs. Any phase of agriculture is a business and should be considered so by the man entering into it. The man occupied in the sale of wares considers very carefully, if he be a' successful merchant, each factor which will influence his profits or his losses. He sees that every article sold nets him a profit. If some particular line is losing him money or fails to make as high a rate of profit as he feels he should have, he disposes of that line. The farmer owning dairy cows Bhould and must, if he is successful, conduct his business in a way similar to the merchant. He should see that each Individual makes him a very profitable return for the money Invested. Too many Michigan farmers are actually losing money in the animals not producing enough miTk to pay. for the feed given them. Is this good business? The dairy farmer should know exactly the returns in dollars and cents of each cow in his herd. He should know the production of milk and fat from each animal. It requires no Preparing for t h e Seeding of Wheat By V. M. Shoesmith, Proftucr of Ftra Crop* Michigan Agricultural CoNeie The usual practice in growing wheat in Michigan is for the wheat to follow oats, barley or other crops which are removed from the field in mid-summer. The previous crop takes most of the moisture; then after harvest the field, with little vegetation to act as a cover, is exposed to the hot summer sun and winds. As a result the evaporation is excessive and the field soon becomes too dry to plow in goodcondition if, indeed, it can be plowed at all. It is frequently late in August or early in September before a good rain is secured, and much of this runs off because of the hard condition of the soil. It is practically impossible to prepare a good seed bed for wheat by this method of plowing late when the soil is in poor condition, and the effect is invariably seen in the crop. If the oat field had been examined just previous to harvest a sufficient amount of moisture would have been found to enable the field to have been plowed in fairly good,condition. The disking or plowing of the soil would have made a soil mulch which would have preserved most of the moisture and left the soil in ideal condition to receive the rainfall. The Important thing in Connection with the preparation of a seed bed when the moisture is limited or when the time is short, as in the case of wheat following spring grain, is to get on the field early; only a day or two delay may mean the loss of so much moisture that all operations must stop until the next rain. If a field can be plowed at once after the removal of the previous crop, this may answer very well, but it is better, especially if the plowing cannot be entirely finished within a very few day.s, to use the disk harrow to form a mulch to hold the moisture until the ground can be plowed and harrowed. If sufficient teams and help are available the disk may follow Immediately behind the binder before the grain is shocked or i t may be operated between the rows of shocks, either of which means are better than to delay disking until the crop of grain has been removed from the field. It is a more or less common practice to plow ander manure in the late summer for fall seeding of wheat. This practice gives good results in esse the manure ia applied in a tbln coat and H fine and well rotted. The plowing under of a thick' coat of coarse great expenditure and the equipment is not at all complex. The above illustrations show in detail everything that is necessary. One must have a set of Spring balances and a milk sheet to record the milk produced at the morning's and night's milking throughout the month. A Babcock testing outfit is also necessary in order that the milk from each cow may be tested for butterfat. Then knowing the milk production and the richness, the amount of fat for the month and ultimately for the year can be computed. Then by an estimation of the feed given the cow, her net profit or loss can be easily determined. The estimated production of cows are very deceiving. A cow may have produced very heavily for a part of the year. She may have produced a large quantity of very poor milk or A smaller quantity of rich milk. These and many more factors tend to deceive the owners. The only accurate and sure method is to keep a record as described, then if animals are found to be making good returns they should be kept and bred to purebred dairy sires and the resulting female progeny should be kept when mature as milch cows. The unprofitable or low profit paying animalB should be sold as soon as they could be placed upon the market. This means good business-dairying and in the course of a very few years will result in the production of a very profitable herd. manure is objectionable as it tends to hold up the furrow slice and allow the soil to dry out. On this account It is usually better to use the manure as a top dressing after the wheat 1B seeded. In sections where the Hessian Fly has done little or no damage to previous crops it is best to seed fairly early so that the young wheat plants will make a vigorous growth and become quite hardy before the winter sets in. A good time to seed is from the 10th to the 20th of September. If the "fly'* is bad somewhat later seeding (the first two weeks in October) is preferable, as the adult insects will lay moBt of their eggs on the early seeded wheat. In some sections the "fly" has done considerable damage to the crop just harvested and is liable to be worse next year. This insect should be carefully watched by wheat growers during the next few years. Wheat growers should by all means get the best seed wheat obtainable. There is much difference in varieties. Usually the red or harder wheats will weigh more per bushel, make a better flour and bring a little more on the market than the white or softer wheats. The white wheats, however, frequently yield better, especially on low lands and during moist seasons. The Shepperd's Perfection, Buda Pest, Century and Nigger are good wheats of the first class, while the Early Windsor, American Banner and Plymouth Rock are some of the better white wheats. A careful application of the above suggestions; the preparation of a fine, fairly firm and moist seed bed, which will insure a quick even germination Of the seed; the fairly early Seeding, which will favor a vigorous growth in the fall and an abundant stouling ' in the spring, and the seeding of wheat of some of the better adapted varieties will do much to increase the yield and profit of the Michigan wheat crop. >. frffK".''•r^f-rf-f-- Speeial Feed for Molting Season. •- The molting season with old hens is now on and a little extra attention at this time will aid greatly in carrying the hens through this period.

She Is so honest that if you throw anything that looks to be worth a copper into the waste basket you have to tag it 'Destroy this,' or she will fish it our and put It back on your desk night after night, no matter how badly wou want to get rid of it. I don't know that I can say anything more." "No more is necessary," Bald the superintendent, and he proceeded to hire the woman. An Undefinable Definition. A few days after school opened in the spring a teacher in a Brooklyn school was testing the members of one of her old classes on what they had remembered of the definition she had taught them during the preceding term. Finally she asked the bright boy of the class this question: "Now, Robert, tell me what a hypocrite is?" "A hypocrite," replied Robert without hesitation, "is a kid w'at comes to school wit' a smile on his mug." The Ground of Their Love. "Let us have peace," said the English invader.

STRONGER T H A N MEAT A Judge's Opinion of Grape-Nuts. A gentleman who has acquired a judicial turn of mind from experience on the bench out In the Sunflower 8tate writes a carefully considered opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts as food. He says: "For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts has been a prominent feature in our bill of fare. "The crisp food with the delicious, nutty flavor has become an indispensable necessity in my family's everyday life. "It has proved to be moat healthful and beneficial, and has enabled us to practically abolish pastry and pies from our table, for the children prefer Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and unwholesome food. "Grape-Nuts keeps us all In perfect physical condition—as a preventive of disease it is beyond value. 1 have been particularly impressed by the beneficial effects of Grape-Nuts when used by ladies who are troubled with face blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It clears up the complexion wonderfully. "As to its nutritive qualities, my experience is that one small dish of Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound of meat for breakfast, which Is an important consideration for anyone. It satisfies the appetite and strengthens the power of resisting fatigue, while its use involves none of the disagreeable consequences that sometimes follow a meat breakfast."

Pinckney evidentally wanted to wipe out the defeat handed them the week before at South Lyons and Dunning pitching for Pinckney proved himself master of t h e situation, Pinckney winning by the score of 4 to 1. The morning game between Pinckney and Fowlerville was a hard fought battle until the fifth inning, Farmer pitching for the visitors and Moran for the home team, both men were very effective, the score being five goose eggs for each team at the beginning of the fifth, when after L. Lavey was retired Ledwidge landed on the ball for two-bases. This was a starter for Pinckney and hits by Dunning, R. Moran, H. and F . Swarthout and F. Moran made the score 5 to 0. A. Lavey walked in the seventh and a three bagger by M. Roche sent him across the plate with the last run. The afternoon game brought a large and enthusiastic crowd to the grounis and all seemed well satisfied by the way Pinckney trounced the invaders, Munsell was on the mound for Fowlerville while Ledwidge twirled for Pinckney. The visitors could do nothing with Ledwidges delivery as the score indicates, while Munsell was pounded for eleven hits including a wo-bagger by A. Roche and a three-bagger by Fred Swarthout. The total of this game was 11 to 2 in Piuckneys favor. Everyone of the Pinckney players distinguished himself in some way during these games and Leo Lavey's great throwing to second prevented much base stealing. Dr. "Andy" Roche celebrate d h i s home coming by a timely two-bagger the first time at bat, although he modestly requested to be placed last in the batting list. These .three games show conclusively that Pinckney has a strong team and deserves better support than is usually given them by the home fans. I t would be hard to fiud three better pitchers than Dunning, Moran and Ledwidge, and with more practice this team can "bring home the bacon," as often as any of them.

You don' know how mis'able It makes me to be In the fold and have my husban' out of i t " "What's an evangelist?" "An evangelist is one of them minister's the Lord sends onct in a while to s t k up the feelln's o' them as can't be teched by ordinary means." "One of whom I a m which." "Yes, you be, Elijah. I'm sorry to say it. I hope you'll go and hear this holy man and xnebbe he'll tech your heart" Mahulda Dunkers sighed and walked away. H e r efforts to bring her husband under the influences that guided her always proved abortive, l i e w a s a matter of fact * man, while she w a s emotional. B y some he w a s called a scoffer, though no one ever heard him speak disrespectfully of religion. He disliked cant and those disposed to cant called him a scoffer because h e w a s not of their ilk. The couple lived In the far w e s t where extremes were in vogue. This had made the wife an extremist in matters of religion. If the husband w a s an extremist i t w a s in the manifest presence of the devil who seemed to guide both the good and the bad in Nuggetville. Sunday morning came and a f e w minutes before service time a man in clerical garb w a s seen descending the trail. He walked with a firm step and carried a prayer book in his hand. The Reverend Mr. Saintly w a s unknown to a single person in Nuggetville. He had sent word that he would preach there on that Sunday morning and hoped that h e would move every unchristian man, woman and child in the camp to repentance. Elijah Dunkers s a w the evangelist coming and watched him descend the canyon. "What makes y e scowl so, Elijah?" asked his wife. "It seems that everything holy h a s a contrary effect on ye. Can't you look at a man of God with* out showin' the impiety there is in ye? It isn't y o u that's scowlin' a t this j servant of tine Lord; It's t h e devil | that's got a h o l t on yer heart." 1 "Jes* -yotf^ go to meetin', Mahulda.' What y e got to put in the hat?" "I got four ounces o' dirt." - j "Ye goin' to give four ounces o' dirt to t h a t " - "Forbear, Elijah! Ferbear! Don't speak impiously of the Lord's anointed." Elijah turned away. Ills wife made one more effort to Induce him to accompany her to the grove that w a s one of "God's first temples." but he paid no attention to her. The evangelist found the people o f Nuggetville assembling and taking seats on the boards ranged in front of a stump to which a piece of scantling j supporting a n inclined bit of timber j for a book rest w a s fastened. Mounting the stump be said: j "My friends, I wish before beginning j the service t o ask if any one o f you have brought to this, place consecrated ' to the Lord's s e m c e any o f those hellish machines used to kill your fellow men. I f so please go and deposit them a t the foot of that tree over yonder." H e waited while several of the men present, a w e d by his impressive tone, deposited their revolvers and knives a s he directed, When they were again seated t h e evangelist asked if any other person w a s desecrating t h e place and called down the wrath o f heaven upon them if they were.

Tbe cleanest lager beer sometimes contains numbers of yeast cells, says Pure Products. Still larger numbers are often found In ale and In Weiss beer, which probably gives these beverages some of their desirable properties. But by far the largest amount of yeast which finds Its way Into the human digestive system Is Introduced with bakery goods which have been made from flour. Yeast is a fungus and belongs to the same family as the mushroom, for which most people have a distinct liking. The age long uee of yeast for bread raising purposes proves that this fungus is capable of thoroughly agreeing with the human organism. In view of this fact it is somewhat surprising that immense amounts of beer yeast are annually allowed to go to waste from every brewery in the country. There are several circumstances which have seemed to stand in the way of employing beer yeast In food production. The two principal ones are Its dark color and its bitterness, due to the simultaneous use of hops in the brewing processes. These properties of beer yeast, however, may easily be removed. Beer yeast is not suitable for baking purposes because It grows in a cold medium and does not possess a great enough raising power for the purposes of the baker. There is no question about the nutritive value of yeast, since weight for weight it is quite comparable in nutritive value to, the best beer. ^ o r direct consumption in the fresh condition yeast must be put into a suitable form. According to the method of Kleinschmldt, compressed yeast which mis been deprived of fte bitter substance, may be melted with edible fata, such-\ae butter, the result being a very tasVy paste which can be spread directly on bread. Dry yeast can be used in this game manner,'and experience has already shown that the addition of yeaat to certain sauces and salad dressings is attended with very favorable results. However, it ifl necessary that the question Bhould receive a thorough study from experts on cooking. TROLLEY CARS CRASH. Two CarB Meet Head-On—Two Are Dead and 60 Injured. As the result of the forj.-etfulmjKS i of Motornmn Frank Woodin. ot the N'orthville branch of the D. U. K., according to the statement made by the officials of the company, a crash occurred between two interurbau cars at the junction in Dearborn at 4:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon, as the result of which two men were killed and 60 persons were injured, several of them no severely that they may die. The collision occurred between the N'orthville local car and the Ann Arbor local. The N'orthville car had orders to pass the west-bound limited traveling in two sections. Woodin ! held his car in the switch until the two sections of the limited passed, und, so it is declared, answered the signals indicating that he knew the ; local was right behind, but be pulled jout onto the main line just in time I to meet the rapidly approaching local I head-on. The cars telescoped and | piled up in a jumbled mass. Why the I death list was not greater is hard to figure out. Louis Hamilton, motorjman of the local, shut off power and I then jumped, but he broke his back i in striking fho cement road and died j within a short time. Motorman Blames Conductor. J "My conductor, F. Dresselhouse, was standing on the front of the car. He said, 'Go ahead;' 1 turned on the power and ran out of the switch, an instant later, it seemed, a car loomed up ahead of us. 1 only had time to throw off the power, put on the emergency brake and then I jumped. The cars crashed together as I hit the ground," says Motorman Woodin. Joachim and the Barbers. Mr. Rutland Barrlngton's story of the barber whose only comment OD one of his impersonations was to the effect that hlB hair was rather long recalls a tale which used to be told in relation to the late Dr. Joachim and another member of the fraternity This knight of the scissors was alsc struck by tbe undue length of hie victim's locks and suggested a reduc tion accordingly, adding confidentially in support of his recommendation "MakeB you look like one of them fid dler chaps, sir." Joachim's answer i£ not recorded. Yet another barber story in relation to Joachim tells of the astonishment aroused among the practitioners ai one establishment who knew not that they were entertaining angels unawares, when Joachim and two or three comrades of the bow all happened to be having their wants attended to simultaneously. As each Indicated in turn a tender spot beneath the chin for which special consideration was besought, the only possible conclusion which suggested itself to one and all was that these must be members of some Becret society and that this curious behavior must be part of their ritual. i'ri*V ? • ; < • Formosa's Camphor Forests. The camphor forests of the world are located in the island of Formosa, in t h e highlands and mountainous sections. In a dozen different sections of the island where the camphor forests are particularly valuable the cutting and transporting of the logs into Lhe civilised sections are.attended.with great risk of life to the laborers, who are Chinese and Japanese, for these sections are*inbabited by head-hunting savages, whom the Dutch, Chinese and Japanese, have from time to time tried to subdue, with varying success. The Japanese and Chinese coolies employed In bringing the camphor-tree logs oat of the forests are not Infrequently attacked by bands of these savages, and sometimes the whole gang of workmen is annihilated before the last for human beads is satisfied. In order to protect in a measure the laborers of the industry, as well as those engaged in cutting valuable hardwoods of the Formosa forests, the , Japanese are compelled to maintain an elaborate military and police system * in the head hunters' territory. Fully four-fifths of the world's camphor supply comes from Formosa.—Harper's. AM in a Month. "Before marriage I used to dream of - Rfe rn a fine house, with sixteen servants." reams never come true."

A question confronting tbe prison board of control is the kind of labor that can -he given convicts when the present contracts ex-pirer No new ones can he made. The law provides they shall be employed on state account on work that will not | seriously interfere with organized labor. Warden Simpson of Jackson prison says In regard to setting the prisoners to worlc making good roads that while he has eome doubts as to the practicability of the scheme he stands leady to give it a thorough trial at any time the governor and board of control direct him to do so. tot GENERAL NEWS IN BRIEF, Little Money for Fire Sufferers.

The condition of Pope Pius, although quite normal, is not alarming in the slightest degree. The weak-, ness following the last indisposition of his holiness has been due chiefly to the exceptional heat which, although it has not reached as high a degree as in the other capitals of Europe, is very depressing.

P. will come to Detroit, September 6th to return the visit recently made by the Detroit Board of Commerce, the fair management has been requested to set aside a day to be known as Upper Peninsula day, and have fixed upon Friday, September 22nd, as the date. The railroads and steamboat lines have promised to give a round trip reduced rate for the Upper Peninsula people and the fair management is advised that the upper country people are coming down in large numbers. A member of the executive committee of the Upper- Peninsula development bureau in writing President Newton of the S ^ t e Fair says: "We want the' people up here to under--] stand that the State Fair belongs to the Upper Peninsula as well as to the lower, and that we should all unite in making it the greatest fair in the United^ States. 1 believe tbe setting apart a day at tt*e fair to be known as Upper Peninsula Day will be the beginning of a greater interest in the State Fair by the people above the straits and that each succeeding yeat will show a deeper interest."

NEW MEMBERS TO BE CHOSEN AT LARGE IN 1912. The Measure Will Take Effect On and After March 3, 1913— Michigan Gets One New Member. After accepting an amendment by Senator Burton of Ohio providing that added representatives shall be nominated at large in the same manner as the governor until their states shall have been redistricted, the senate passed by viva-voce vote the reapportionment bill increasing the house of representatives from 391 to 433, and giving Michigan 13 instead of 12 repassentatives, The hill now goes to conference. Michigan congressmen declare the house will accept the senate amendment. Unlike the tariff bills, for which vetoes wait, the reapportionment bill will be signed and become law. All of Michigan's representatives, says Rep. Doremus, have indicated more or less desire that redistricting be put off until after the 1912 election, preferring to have the thirteenth member chosen at lagge rather than to have their own bailiwicks carved up. Prospective candidates for the Republican nomination at large are said to include: Edwin Denby, Patrick H. Kelley, W. Frank Knox, Harry Smith and Gerrit DlekemaV The senate adopted the urton amendment to the bill by a vote of 39 to 28, after defeating an amendment by Senator Root to leave the house membership at 391, by a vote of 46 to 23. The reapportionment bill is so drawn that no state- will lose in representation, but in some eases there will be a decided increase? New York beads'the list with an Increase of six members; Pennsylvania gets four; California and Oklahoma three each; Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Texas and Washington, two each: and Alabama, Colorado, Florida. "Deorgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, _ Rhode Island, South Dakota. Utah and West Virginia, one each. The measure will take effect on and after March 3, 1913. Wiht the admission of Arizona and New Mexico to statehood with one representative each, the membership under the present bill would advance to 435. Three World Powers Sign Peace Plan Three of the world's greatest nations, with the United States as the Central figure and moving spirit, join hands in opening the way to the coveted goal of modern statesmen—universal peace. America and Great Britain and America and France have signed general arbitration treaties for the peaceful settlement of all disputes that may be locked in the mystery of the future, even though they concern the national honor or vital interests of the signatories, subjects invariably excepted in existing arbitration treaties. To Jean Jules Jusserand came the signal honor of signing an arbitration treaty between the United States and France six hours ahead of the signing of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain. This distinction is possibly of more personal satisfaction than that gained from having been the first foreign diplomat to come forward with a tentative acceptance of President Taft's informal proposal to all nations for just such a treaty as has been concluded. Mr. Jusserand has been the French ambassador to the United States since 1902 and while Roosevelt was president was a member of the famous "tennis cabinet." President Simon Gone. Gen.

He notices a camp fire at a distance and then sees a team attached to a wagon and at full gallop pursued by mon on pontes. W h e n Keith roaches the wagon the raiders have m a s s - acred two men end departed. He searches n h e victims rinding papers and a locket with a woman's portrait. He resolves to hunt down the murderers. Keith Is arrested at Carson City, charged with the murder Ills accuser being a rufnan named Black B a r t "*:." V %. CHAPTER IV. An Old Acquaintance. The Carson City lock-up was an Improvised affair, although a decidedly popular resort. It was originally a two-room cabin with gable to the street, the front apartment at one time a low groggery, the keeper sleeping in the rear room. Whether sudden death, or financial reverses, had been the cause, the community had In. some manner become possessed of the property, and bad at once dedicated it to the commonweal. For the purpose thus selected It was rather well adapted, being strongly built, easily guarded, and on the outskirts of the town. With iron grating over the windows, the back door heavily spiked, and the front secured by iron bars, any primmer once locked within could probably be found when wanted. On | the occasion of Keith's arrival, the portion abutting upon the street was occupied by a rather miscellaneous , assembly—the drunk and disorderly ; elements conspicuous—who were j awaiting their several calls to appear before a local justice and make answer for various misdeeds. Some were pacing the floor, others sat moodily on benches ranged against the wait, while a few were still peacefully slumbering upon the floor. It was a frowsy, disreputable crowd, evincing but mild curiosity at tho arrival of a new prls- -oner, Keith had barely time to glance about, recognizing no famiflarity . of face amid the mass peering at him, as "••fee.;-was hustled briskly forward and thrutt-lpto t h e rear room, the heavy door clo8ing^<dTigd^m'^w1tbrthe snap of a snrlng lock. .. He was alone, with only, the faintest murmur of voices coming "te^birn through the thick partition. It w a s ^ a ^ room Borne twelve feet square, open 1o the roof, with bare walls, and containing no furniture except a rude bench. Still dazed by the suddenness of his arrest, he sank down upon the seat, leaned his head on his hands, and endeavored to think, It was difficult to get the facts marshalled into any order or to comprehend clearly the situation, yet little by little his brain grasped the main details, and 4ie awoke to a full realization of his ooadition, of the forces he must war against The actual murderers of those two men on the Irail had had their suspicions aroused by his actions; they believed he guessed something of their foul deed, and had determined to clear themselves by -charging the crime directly against him. It was a shrewd trick, and if they only stuck to their story, ought t o succeed. He had no evidence, other than his own word, and the marshal bad already taken from bis pockets the papers belonging to the slain man. He had not found the locket bidden under bis shirt, yet a more thorough search would doubtless repeal that also. Even should the case come to trial, how would It be possible for him to establish Innocence, and—would It ever come to trial? Keith knew the character of the frontier, and of Careen City, t h e inclination of Its citizens in such cases was to act first, and reflect latex,. ^ The law had but slender bold, being; respected only when backed by the strong hand, and primitive-instincts were always in tbe a§cta4ency', requiring merely a leader t o break forth hi open violence. And in this ease would there be any lack of leadership7 Like a flash his mind reverted to "Black Bart- There was the man capable of inciting a mob. If, for some unknown reason, he had suftsfent Interest to A wear out the warfsBt and assist in the arrest, he would ••fro equal cause to serve those fel- % * # behind him In other ways. Nat* m n y , they would dread a trial, with its possibility of exposure, and eagerly creep any opportunity for wiping the elate clean. Their real security from discovery undoubtedly lay In his death, and with the "Red Light" crowd behind them they would experience no trouble in getting a following desperate enough for any portion, a fighter by instinct and so long accustomed to danger that the excitement of it merely put new fire into his veins. Now that he understood exactly what threatened, all numbing feeling of hesitancy and doubt vanished, and he became Instantly alive. He would not He there in that hole waiting for the formation of a mob; nor would he trust in the ability of the marshal to defend him. He had some friends without—not many, for he was but an occasional visitor at Carson—who would rally to Hick'B assistance, but there would not be enough on the side of law and order to overcome the "Red, Light" outfit, if once they scented blood. If he Was to be saved from their clutches, he must save himself; if his innocence was ever established it would be by his own exertions—and he could accomplish this only out yonder, free under the arch of ;ky. He lifted his head, e v e r y nerve tingling with desperate determination. Tbe low growl of voices was audible through tbe partition, but there was no other sound. Carson City was still resting, and there would be no crowd nor excitement until much later. Not until nightfall would any attack be attempted; he had six or eight hours yet in which to perfect bis plans. He Aunt Caton's house servant, a black Imp of good humor, who begged so hard to be taken back with him to the war. Why, the boy had held his stirrup the next morning when he rode away. The sudden rush of recollection seemed to bridge tbe years, and that black faae became familiar, a memory of home. "Of course, I remember, Neb," he exclaimed, eagerly, "but that's all years ago and I never expected to see you again. What brought you West and got you into this hole?" The negro hitched J up onto the bench, the whites of his eyes conspicuous as he stared uneasily about—he had a short, squatty figure, with excessively broad shoulders, and a face of intense good humor. "I reck'n dat am consider'ble ob a story, Massa Jack, de circumlocution "I tell you', Massa Jack, it was mighty lonely fo' Neb dem days. 1 didn't know whar any ob yo' all was, an' it wan't no fun fo' dls nigger belu' free dat away. I got out ter Independence, Missouri, an' was roustaboutin' on de ribber, when a couple ob men come along what wanted a cook to trabbel wid 'em. I took de job, an' dat's what fetched me here ter Carson City." "But what caused your arrest?" "A conjunction ob circumstances, Massa Jack; yes, sah, a conjunction ob circumstances. I got playin' pokah ober in dat 'Red Light," an' I was doin' fine. I reckon I'd cleaned up mo'n a hundred dollars when I got sleepy, an' started fo' camp. I'd most got dar w'en a bunch ob low white trash jumped me. It made me mad, it did fo' a fact, an' I reckon I carved some ob which would take a heap ob time ob 'em up befo' I got away. Ennytellin'," he began soberly. "But it j bow, de marshal come down, took me happened 'bout dis way. When de Yankees come snoopln* long de East Sho'—I reck'n maybe it des a yeah after dat time when we done buried de ol' Co'nel—dey burned Missus Caton's house clah to de groun'; de ol' Missus was in Richmond den, an' de *ew niggers left jest natchally took to de woods. 14went into Richmond huntin' de ol' Missus, but, Lawd, Massa Jack,, •nv \ ' % &s^;' The longer Keith thought the less he doubted the .result It was not then a problem of defence, bet of escape, JOT be believed now that no opportunity to defend himself would ever be allowed.

Leaning over, he looked down on the figure of a man curled up, sound asleep on the floor. The fellow's limbs twitched as if in a dream, otherwise he might have deem* ed blm dead, as his face was burled in his arms. A moment Keith hesitated; then be reached down and shook the sleeper, until he aroused sufficiently to look up. It was the face of a coal-black negro. An in* stent the fellow stared at the man towering over blm, his thick lips parted, his eyes full of sudden terror. Then he sat up, with hands held be* fore him as though warding off a blow. "FO* de Lawd's sake," he managed to articulate finally, "am dls sbo» yo', Massa Jack?" Keith, to whom all colored people were much alike, laughed ajt the expression on the negro's face. "I reckon yer guessed the name, all right boy. Were you the cook of the Diamond L T "No, sah, I nebber cooked no di'onds. I'se ol' Neb, sen."

The One Way. Keith said nothing for some moments, staring up at the light stealing in through the window grating, his mind once again active. The e y e s o f the black man h~ad the patient look of a dog as they watched; evidently he had cast aside all responsibility, how that this other had come. Finally Keith spoke slowly: "We are in much the same position. Neb, and the fate of one is liable to be the fate of both. This la my story" —and briefly as possible, he ran over the circumstances which had brought ~hTnT~there, nTrrtltrg~th~e~gltuatlun clear enough for the negro's understanding, without wasting any time upon detail. Neb followed his recital with bulging eyes, and an occasional exclamation. At the end he burst forth: "Yo' say dar was two ob dem white men murdered—one an ol' man wid a gray beard, an' de odder 'bout thirty? Am dat It, Massa Jack, an' dey had fo' span ob mules, an' a runnin' hoss?" "Yes." "An' how far out was it?" "About sixty miles." "Oh, de good Lawd!" and the negro threw up his hands dramatically. "Dat s u t t ' n l y a m my outfit! Dat am Massa Waite an' John Sibley." ^You mean the same men with whom yffu^came here from Independence?" " ^ \ Neb nodded, overborne^ by the discovery. - " ^ \ "But what caused them to run^such a risk?" Keith insisted. "Didn't they" know the Indians were on the war path?" "Sho"; I heard 'em talkin' 'bout dat, but Massa Waite was JeBt boun' foh to git movin'. He didn't 'pear to be 'fraid ob no Injuns; reck'ned dey'd nebber stop him, dat he knowed ebbery chief on de plains. I reck'n dat he did, too." "But what was he so anxious to get away for?"

Fort Scott, Kan.—Kansas lost her poet laureate when Kugene F. Ware died at his summer home in Colorado and western literature lost one of its brightest geniuses. Ware, known as "Ironquill," was a harness maker, li^vyer, politician and poet. In the minds of his friends the last should come first, but personally he always belittled his ability as a poet, and instead of being proud of his success he spoke disparagingly of his verses. In this he was alone. He came to this city in 1867 and began to work at his trade as a harness maker. A competitor was advertising, so Ware had to do the same. He went his competitor several better by writing bis advertisements in verse. This attracted attention and he went to Topeka, where he wrote poetry and studied law, keeping his identity as a poet under cover. His explanation for this was: "I was afraid people wouldn't hire a fool poet for a lawyer." There were plenty of harness makers, but very few lawyers in Fort Scotf and that was the reason Ware deserted the stitching horse of his shop and took up the study of law, In his profession he was successful. As he practiced law he played the po- J. P1BREPONT, NO pOUlT* Smith—My boy thinks hell be a pirate when he grows up. Jones—Thinks there is more money In piracy than anything else, eh?

( * : « litical game In a quiet, dignified way, being finally rewarded with an appointment as commissioner of pensions. After two years in Washington he returned to Kansas and took up his residence in Kansas City, Kan. Tiring of city life, he retired shortly before his death to Sungold Section, a fine farm he acquired when he first came to Kansas, and there he told his friends he hoped "to die In tho open." His plans to die on the farm failed, for he passed away soon after reaching Colorado, where he had been In the habit of spending the summers at a place he owned on the Cascade. He was well entitled to the appointment of pension commissioner, for during the Civil war he had a brilliant, career covering four years and ending as captain of a troop In the Sfevciirh Iowa cavalry. For brre-^irlef period Captain Ware was in the newspaper business. This was in Burlington, ia^^where for a time, he waB assistant edttor^of the Hawkeye and started that pap&TM?n its road to celebrity as a funny paperT When Captain Ware1 retired "Bob" Burdette succeeded him and the paper became much quoted for its funny sayings. Ware was born in 1841 in Hartford, Conn,, and was married in 1874 to Miss Jeanette B. Huntington. For many years he was a familiar figure in Topeka during session of the Kansas legislature and his wit and humor made him much beloved, both by pollcal friends and opponents. He was a member of tbe legislature in the early '80s. When he left the office of pension commissioner he wanted to show his appreciation of 12 heads of departments under him. He bought 12 handsome pieces of silver, exactly alike, called the 12 men into bis office where the souvenirs were lined up on a table and said: "Gentlemen. You have been good to me. Help yourselves." The appointment of Ware to be commissioner of pensions was due to Roosevelt's admiration for his poems. In 1900, when Roosevelt was on his way to the southwest to attend a reunion of Rough Riders, he expressed a desire to meet "Ironquill" and a message was sent to Ware asking him to meet the train and travel with the president. He did so and the friendship between the Rough Rider colonel and the frontier poet was promptly evident and sincere. Three years later Ware was appointed commissioner of pensions. He leaves a widow, one son, Eugene F\ Ware, Jr., and three daughters, Mrs. Abble Neiss of New York, Mrs. S. R. Nelson and Miss Amelia Ware. Teeth and Baldness.

It took me mostly all over my back and kept getting worse until finally my back was covered with a mass of pimples which would burn and itch at night so that I could hardly stand it. This condition kept getting worse and worse until my back was a solid mass of big sores which would break open and run. My underclothing would be a clot of blood. "I tried various remedies and salves for nearly three years and I was not getting any benefit. It seemed I was In eternal misery and could not sleep on my back or lean on a chair. I was finally given a set of the Cuticura Remedies and inside of two weeks I could see and feel a great relief. I kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment and also the Resolvent, and in about three or four months' time my back was nearly cured and I felt like a new being. Now I am in good health and no sign of any skin diseases and I am fully satisfied that Cuticura Remedies a r e the best ever made for skin diseases. I would not be without them." (Signed) W. A.

She would have said the same to Howard, but it is not a very pleasant thing to tell a young man that he must not think of marrying one's daughter, especially when that young man has shown no predilection for her.

Their bashfulness or whatever 1L_L was seemed to Increase Instead of diminish. The "children" didn't seem to get together at all. If Mrs. Hathaway went into the room where they were she would find Howard residing a book at one end of the room, while Bffle would be cutting out pictures at the other end. Then she would wonder if the child would erer grow to be a woman. If Howard was ever at the house to a meal be and Bffle would sit mum on either etde of the table, never venturing a remark except to one of the olftto&^eople. On one occasion Howattsjsaw something and Effle corrected bftto. Howard averred that he whs right about it. Bffle offered to bet him.

Mary's annnal pvnic came offas announced Tneeday at Jackson's Grove and the day was a fine one for tbe event. Tbe rain the night before laid the dust and made everytbingclean and fresb. The big dinner at noon was as usual up to the -high standard tor which this picnic is noted. The speeches with A. D. Thompson of Howell as toastmaster tor the occasion- and James Green of Howell and Senator James Lee of Detroit were called upon each giving an interesting talk that was enthusiastically cheered at the close of his remarks. Mr. Lee briefly explained some ot the new legislative acts, and principally the new mortgage tax law. The North Lake Bund was on the job all of the time and kept everyone in a happy mood with their fine playing. There was over 700 meal tickets sold and probably many more would bave been disposed of if they all bad arrived in time for dinner. *A)1 in all tbe picnic *as a grand success and netted tbe society about $412.00 clear. The final wind-up »of tbe big day was tbe ball-game between Pinckney and Fowlerville and was as follows: In some respects the game was a disappointment. It was expected that the Stockbridge team would be Pinchney's opponents but they refused to come on tbe grounds tbe remuneration was not sufficient. Tbjs--seem& from the Pinckney stand point to be a lame excuse as tbe money offered was the same amoant tb«£ &&m paid) Pinckney for . fc»r appearance both times in the/S'ner town this year. it does not seem that the Stockbridge players are afraid to give Pinckney a return game this year but it certainly looks that way to a "man up a Pinckney tree." ' The Fowlerville management agreed toaend aiewoa/to play here but owing to tbe short notice were unable to send their regular line-up, and drew on Howell and Stockbridge to fill the vacancies. Tbe battery was Standiih and Barry of Stockbridge and they sure received a warm reception. Standisb was batted out of box. Bravender of Fowler* ville taking tbe mound in the seventh inning.

Several times tbe visitors occupied Bases hut Ledwidge always tightened at tbe right time and prevented any scoring bv tbe visitors. Leo's arm was in its usual good trim and all of tbe opponents who tried to pilfer were retired by large margins.

MILLER HERE are all Borts or camps, from the hasty voyageuer bivouac of the big-game hunter to the berene summer retreat when one invites his soul to ease In Nature's Lotus-land—that "place where It seemed always afternoon." Indeed, 1 think that the quintessence of camping is reached when one knows the game thoroughly enough to be able to draw from Nature alone all the comforts that civilization affords, In addition to the thousand Joys which no civilization can give. It Is tar easier to do this than one would suppose, for the reason that most of the drawbacks of camp life come from neglect of simple cleanliness and ordinary bodily comforts, such as homo -sapiens has become accustomed to from his cradle. The subject of camping Is really so vast that it cannot be even approached in a single article. It strikes at the very roots of life. At its best It holds up a mirror to us all, showing how far civilization and overpopulation have combined to separate us from the easy formula of life which the Creator Intended; bow they have driven thousands to starvation within a stone's throw of the fabulously rich, whereas Nature gave every man the equal strength of his own two hands, which were once ample to win him livelihood and happiness. When one is after traveling game, or on a canoe .trip, or such nomadic camp life, the less of everything taken along the better. A good sleeping bag Is preferable to a tent; a single skillet will provide the utensil to cook with; and rifle, hatchet and knife are really all the necessities that can be mentioned. I even once went on a camp where I took nothing along, except a notebook and two sheets of blank music paper. A bully tramp over the mountains it was, too, and I slept in piles of leaves raked up in dry ravines that were already filled a solid foot deep with dry leaves. I had on a canvas hunting Suit, slouch hat, and gaiters. In the shooting-coat pockets were a Dutch welnerwurst, half a dozen hardtacks, three potatoes, and a hunk of bacon. In the ditty-bag, without which I never take any trip, were little primer-boxes filled with butter, salt, tea and sugar, and there were also a variety of hooks and lines, a steel 'poesom book and a pickerel hook for frogging. It was the only tramp In which I had no Itinerary, > hadn't any idea of getting anywhere, and could stop whenever and as long as I pleased. I think I was all one afternoon going two miles around the flank of one mountain, down into a ravine and up the brook to the spring, where I camped for the night. I was gone two days; bagged most of the species of trees of the middle states east of the Appalachians in the notebook, and scrawled the music-sheets so full of wriggly black notes that the publisher got cross-eyed trying to read the copy. Such a camp-tramp cannot last more than two days, or you are apt to spend the night hugging a tree, while the rain deluges everything throughout the woods. For the light week-end camps, or fishing trips not lasting over ten days, 1 always take a small tent But the acme of camp life is to arrange to spend the whole summer out of doors, beside some favorite lake or river. To most of us this must be somewhere within commuting dis- ,tance of some large city. To a few . It 'is given to be able to live thus in a good game country, leaving the business cares for the winter months. It la this kind of camp of which I wish particularly to speak, for it is an ideal life. At a matter of fact, the bungalow In the woods should be the cleaner and nattier of the two..

The cheapest one I know of Is to take a half dozen rolls of ready* Toeflng and some 2 by 1 inch hemlock joist 4nto the woods and then build the sfcaek yourself. It is surprising howttar into the backwoods you can get wtth this stuff, given a couple of canoes and a day or so's time.

JOHN W. 6ATES DEAD, John W. Gates, the American financier, died in Paris in the arms of his wife and his son, Charles G. Gates. The end was peaceful, and it seemed as though he was falling asleep. The usual restoratives failed in the last criBls. Others present at the bedside besides the members of the family were Doctors Gros and Reeves. THE MARKETS A floor space of 8 by 14 feet is ample for a bungalow of this kind, with a gambrel roof as shown in the illustration. It will have a door in each end, a window at each side; doors and windows made of gauze tacked on the same framning as the main panels, canvas awnings and porches over doors, and a stone floor. To build it will have to bring MVK STOCK. DETROIT—Cattle: Good grades are steady and common dull ut last w'tek'a prices.

Not a very heavy layout of either money or material, say, $25 all told, and yet it - ill give you a start for a permanent bungalow that you can always come back to with Increasing affection. On arriving at your site, the first thing to do is to pitch your tents, select the very best site your ground affords for the shack, clear a little space to make panels in, and saw your pine up into the right lengths. You will need 12 panels 7 feet by 36 inches for the sides, and four panels 16 feet by 36 inches for the roof. Get out the walls first. They are quickly and strongly joined by driving In half-inch corrugated iron fasteners, which are driven across the Joints with a hammer, sinking them flush with the surface of the wood, tn this way the whole 12 can be quickly and strongly knocked together. Tack the roofing material to the bacKs or the panels as fast as completed, as they are very wobbly and weak sideways without the material. This latter is gray in color with a leathery surface, and in each roll comes the needful nails and cement for joints, tin caps, etc. Space the nails about three inches and run the cement ahead as you nail. The hardware for this house will be two dozen stout iron hooks-and-eyes for the corners, and two dozen three-inch iron flat hlngea for doors, windows and roof panels. Both hinges and nallB are best galvanized. Haying the 12 panels to hand, the next step will be to nail a strip of pine 14 feet long to the top and bottom of each four panels, making two side* of four panels" each, with a 2- foot window epsce In the middle of each. In the same -way the two ends are assembled with stripe of pine eight feet long, nailed to top and bottom of two panels with a 2-foot door space in between. They are now ready to raise up, but first a foundation must be prepared, and the aim* plest thing in the woods is to drive In four 3-inch stakes about three feet long around all four sides, having two stakes at each corner. Saw them all off flat toy* string run ail around and leveled at, say eight Inches above the soil. On these the panels can be set up and hooked at the corners, nails being driven down through the footstrip Into the posts. To make the corners stanch and tight, three cleats should be nailed to one of the panels, giving something for the hooks to pull against There will he cracks at the corners and joints, and to protect these from the weather and at the same time guard against the inevitable warping, of the joist in the weather, yon had heat hunt up straight 4- inch spruce or cedar saplings and fiatten the backs true and set them up in front of toe cracks, securing the pan* els to them wtth nails driven from the Inside. The roof panels come next, 16 feet long by approximately 86 Inches wide, a lap bejog left over as shown in the detail of the roof-Joints, so as to leave no place for the rain to work in. There are IS hinges, four at each Joint, and the frame U dtagonaltd as with ihe wall panel*. To get the roof on, lift It a* on the walls, raise the ridge until about a foot of eave overhangs at the sides, and nail light SftpOags to the ends to held the gaabftl la Iti fTwpe* joaltto* while the gable ends are measured and made. After putting them in position, the saplings can be knocked away and the weight of the roof allowed toi come on the gables. Hooks will be needed at the eaves to utilize the top wall-strip as a tie. The doors are made Just enough smaller than the opening to permit a sill and lintel of 4iemlock to be nailed in the doorway. They are covered on the inside with gauze or bobbinet, tacked to the frames with galvanized tacks. The windows are made In the same fashion except that the lower three feet Is filled In with a solid panel of roofing material and a similar piece let in up above to permit the window to swing clear of the eaves. After swinging the door and-window awnings with "rustic" frames cut in the woods, the bouse is ready for occupancy except for the floor. It Is worth while to take along a can of the powder of some good cold-water paint, so as to finish off the woodwork of the panels. The easiest floor to make In the woods is to choose some lazy afternoon when everyone is tired of fishing and floor the whole of it with flat stones taken from the natural rock of the forest Though the three-foot window wainscot permits four cots to be arranged along the sides of the shack, I prefer this space for living room, and sky the bedB Pullman car fashion, just a little under the roof. The easiest way to do it is to cut two straight four- Inch hemlocks, trim, and gain to posts set upright from the floor to ceiling against the front and rear walls. They thus make a sort of rustic inside doorjamb, so do not take any useful room, while the berths can be made In the space behind the four-inch log by tacking across ten-ounce duck with 20-ounce galvanized iron tacks, spaced three Inches apart. A spreader is let In at the middle, thus making two sixfoot berths on a side. They are filled with several inches of balsam browse and are then ready for the sleeping bags. The whole floor space is, by this arrangement of sleeping accommodations, available for living room; canvas camp chairs, log tables, etc.. can be put In and one has a comfortable lounging and eating room (in bad weather). Such a bungalow, of course, has no fire any more than any summer cottage or seaside bungalow has, but while a canvas tent seems to have a fatal way of getting cold after the sun goes down, the bungalow will hold its heat so as to never have the damp chill of the forest in i t The principal use of such a woodland shack is In the promotion of what Doctor Van Dyke has aptly named "days off." Without It many a holiday, especially the combination ones occurring on Thursday or Friday, when Saturday and Sunday are thrown in for good measure, are wasted because one feels more or less unprepared and disinclined to break a new trail for so short a time. But If it is merely a matter of packing some provisions and the sleeping kit whistling up the "pups," and taking a train to the nearest Jumping-off place in the vicinity of "Loafers' Glory," or whatever you have named the shack, you will get out of it many a pleasant little outing, each one a diamond-point in your memories. The beauty of making some sort of s beginning for a forest home Is that each year it gets better and more serviceable as you return to It year after year for your aumjner EAST BUFFALO—Cattle: Best 1,400 to 1,600-lb steers, *6.75@7.25; good prime 1,300 to 1,400-lb steers, *6.5o@7; good prime 1,200 to 1,300-lb steers, $6.25 @6.35; best 1,100 to 1,200-11) shipping steers, $5.05(^8.25; medium butchers' steers, 1,000 to 1,100 lbs, $5.25@5.75; light butcher steers. $4.75@u.25; best fat cows. $4.75(^5.25; fair to good fat cows, $3.50®4.25; common to medium fat cows, $2.75^3.25; trimmers, $1.75@ 2.75; best fat heifers, $5.75@6; good fat heifers, $5@5.40; fair to good tat heifers, $4.25@ ^.85: stock heifers', $3.25® 3.50; best feeding steers, dehorned, $4.25@4.50; common feeding steers, dehorned, $3,25& 3.30; beat butcher and export bulls, $4.50@5; bologrna bulls, $3.50@>4; stock bulls, $3@3.25; best milkers and sprlnjrers, $5l)®55; common to good, $20@30.

Special charts just prepared by the United Statesv weather bureau show that this has been the hottest summer on record In the United Statos and that the great heat waves reported in Paris and Rome are pretty clo3e to the highest records in Europe. While in spots higher temperatures have been recorded both here and abroad, the best obtainable worlu's records show that there havte never been before, since the first days of weather investigations, such a large area and protracted period noted. Moreover, the new charts show that the heat waves this year have been playing unheard of pranks, and while it has not been unusually hot in most southern districts, the heat waveB have gone further north than ever before, extreme conditions being reported from as far north as Alaska. So far as the United States is concerned, the available records*, covering a period of 40 years, show that the year 1901 only approached the season just passed. Want Diaz Again. Gen.

S. SHAW, Dtt* of Agriculture, HcWfia AgriaigenJ GoOegt Agricultural Students at Ulohigm Agricultural Colleke Constructing Tile Drain. The tfirst regular organised summer school of practical agriculture Was opened at the Michigan Agricultural (college June, 1911, aad continued throughout the ensuing'four weeks. This course la Intended to train the hands properly so far as thae proper performance of ordinary iar.ni work is concerned. No formal lectures were cgiven, but each student was shown how to properly perform auch operations as follows, under tins direction of a competent Instructor, Tiz: Fitting and operating of haying and iharvest-, Ing tools and machinery, Ihe same betng^^^ nrttfe xase~6f all' implements involved in the cultivation -of farm and horticultural crops. .Each student was required to take part in every operation involved in farm drainage, the same being true in fencing. In addition to this, training w-afl :gtvBn :in the feeding, care and management of poultry, hogs, sheep, beef cattle, dairy cattle and horses. In fact the student was required to put the-hand to every operation in progress at this season of ttfe year. Great care was exercised In the direction given. A student tent to mow out fence corners with a Bcythe was required first to grind and whet the scythe, and was then instructed how to take hold properly, swing and do the work easiest and moat efficiently. RULES for Extermination of Weeds By DR. W.J. BEAL 1. The right kind of a man, who will carefully observe and study the kinds of weeds and their habits, fighting each to the best advantage, 1. e., with method. 2. See that all <seetfs purchased or grown at home for seed are free from seeds of weeds. Although often heard, these words are too tittle heeded. 3. See that threshing machines, lhay racks, grain bags from other farms are well cleaned before used on the farm. 4. Cook or grind screenings and burn chaff when certain weeds are suspected. "B. Send seeds to the * agricultural (College, East Lansing, for Identification, unless they are known to %e bsnnless. 6. Strive to prevent weeds from •ripening seeds. This Is especially Important late in the season in ease of all pigweeds', purslane and otters ifheW the flasters are ray, small and an* liable to b% overlooked and the ewiW Ttpsa^teftoN* their presence la en4pected.'

The work is not required of a young man properly trained tm a good Michigan farm/ A boy may acquire this experience during summer vacations on well operated farms, but as a rule he is not given an opportunity to experience a variety of work as days in succession are spent in the hay iQft^nowing back hay oar pitching buildles of grain. It seems desirable to provide for this training in a special manner aside from the regular course^ the._. expert-., ences of the in ^victual students being so greatly v riad. An investigation a year or ncvre ego Showed that 65 per cent, of t .a young men enrolled in the agricultural and forestry courses came from the Tillages, towns and cities. The reguIaragrlcuTfcuiBl course presents an abundance of practical work not usuaUy acquired on the farm, such as blacksmlthing, carpentry, operation of engines and farm machinery, as well as farm construction, including concrete work such as construction of foundations, walk*, tanks, troughs, posts, etc. In addition to this the student is given work in installation of water systems, pipe fitting, plumbingr building designs and planning of-farm conveniences generally, a great extent the best mode of fighting it. Certain remedies suggest themselves for trreeping perennials, like quack grass and toad flax, while different treatment is best for narrowleaved dock; and still a different mode of attack may be adopted for crab grass and purslane. Weeds are annuals, as pigweeds, crab grass, purslane; biennials as bull thistle and mulleins; -perennials, like quack grass, Canada thistle, ox-eye Daisy. Will It pay? The annual cost of successfully fighting -a weedy farm of 100 acres in Ontario has been found to be about $75. Good cultivation in the long run pays a greater profit than slipshod culture. Ttircrt only kills the weeds, but keeps the soil in condition for securing good crops. It conserves moisture. Perennial plants cannot gain any If the green leaves are -not allowed to appear. The nourishment stored In the root stocks underground will aid the plant to send up slender leaves and if these remain, the plants gain and recruit, but If the leases start underground and are cut off "before com* tog to the light, these root stocks are drawn on again to furnish food to start more leaves and tSraa. in time, become exhausted. POULTRY NOTES, Hawk* and crows are oftesr troublesome rn poultry flocks. Bushes, patches of corn, etc., or where necessary artificial protection such "as frames, which afford a hiding place, win keep the hawks from the chick*, and greatly reduce the damage thaf these troublesome birds are apt to perform. v Young chicks will not do as well if compelled to pick their living with a bunch of old hens. Where possible they should be raised by themselves, but when this Is not convenient a slatted enclosure which will not per* mlt the old bird* to enter will assist considerably in raising the young. Green Food for Swine. Swine should be fed plenty of green food ia order to keep their digestive tract In the best of condition. It It better if they can. he given a wide pasture run, where they can gather green forage for themselves; They should be supplied with plenty of pure cold water and an abundance of shade and a- sanitary wallowing place. - Unprofitable Cowe.

TO BE GREATER THAN EVER. Preparations for Big Event Going Forward on Gigantic Scale—It is 72 Years Since First State Fair Was Held. "Greater and grander than ever before." This is the slogan that has been adopted by the Michigan State Fair management for the sixty-second annual exhibition to be held on the magnificent grounds of the Michigan State Agricultural Society at Detroit, September 18 to 27, 1911, and if excellence, diversity, quality and quantity of exhibits, and entertainment features that are new, novel and startling, suited to all tastes and requirements, can bring out the crowds, there will be no doubt about the attendance. been years when no fair was held, and it has camped in many places, but not until the public spirited citizens of Detroit gave It a permanent home, assumed its debts and provided funds; for Its sustenance' and maintenance was it ever really a success, and this Is said with all praise for the men who labored so faithfully these long years against great odds and adverse conditions to make It pay financially. They were not lacking in energy. They, were simply confronted with conditions they could not overcome, all of which have been successfully met here. " The first State Fair of Michigan was held at Ann Arbor, October 1, 1839. Twenty head of animals, both I cattle and sheep, the proud exhibits of Henry Raymond, a Grosse He farmer, and specimens of cheese and butter from a Mr. Tibbits, of Plymouth, constituted the first exhibition of the agricultural and horticultural fair of Michigan in that year. No prepara- ( tion^ whatever had been made, no officers of the Institution could be found, and not half a dozen persons in Ann Arbor had heard that such a fair was to be held. There was no fair grounds designated; but on the appointed day the two exhibitors drove thirty miles to have the show, and put in an appearance on a vacant lot, commenced holding the State Fair and soon drew quite a respectable crowd.

I could not sleep, was nervous and lost flesh so rapidly I looked like a walking skeleton. I doctored all the time but had begun to think there was no help for me. Then I began taking Doan'a Kidney pills and was entirely cured. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me a hew lease of life." Remember the name—Doan's. For Bale by druggists and general storekeepers everywhere.

"1 have a friend who just about believes the Lord created the earth in seven days for his especial benefit. He has a fine home on Long Island, with a retinue of servants, but his wife is a semi-invalid, and it falls to the lot of Mr. Pompous to execute various commissions for her in the city. The other day she asked him to stop at a clothing store and get axcouple of white duck Jackets for the butler, I happened to be with him when he entered the store. Striding majestically up to a sallow little salesman, he suld, with much impressive dignity: 14 'I wish to purchase a couple of white waiter's coats.' " 'Yes, sir.' said the little salesman, 'What size do»you wear?'

Even death itself sometimes fails to Aring the dignity and serenity which one would fain associate with old age. I recall the dying hour of one old Scotchwoman whose long struggle to "keep respectable" had so embittered her that her last words were gibes for those who were trying to minister to her. "So you came in yourself this morning, did you ? You only sent things yesterday. I guess you knew when the doctor was coming.

William Jennings Bryan once joked about our American fondness for titles. "You all know of the colonel," he Baid, "who got bis title by inheritance, having married Colonel Brown's widow? But I once met a general who got .his title neither by inheritance, nor by service, nor by anything you could mention. i "'General,' I said to him, 'how do you come by this title of yours, anyway?' " 'Why, sir,' said he, 'I passed my youth in the flour trade and for twenty- eeven years was a general miller.' "I know another titled man, Judge Greene.

Jt is an odd fact that of the English actors knighted all but one had first to legalize tbe names under which they had won fame. The question arose with tbe first proposition to confer knighthood on a gypsy. It would be absurd so to honor one John Henry Brodribb. Yet legally no such person as "Henry Irving" existed. No «uch obstacle had to be overcome when, on the occasion of Victoria's diampnd Jubilee, Squire Bancroft knelt before his queen and arose sir squire.

The Old English Prize Ring. In the latter days of the English prize ring innumerable expedients had to be devised to bring off a fight. A favorite plan was to pitch theridg on the borders of two counties, so that the question of magisterial Jurisdiction might be rendered difficult. ' Another plan was to charter a steamboat and proceed down the Thames to some lonely police forsaken spot in the marshes of Essex. For the memorable contest between Sayers and Heenan in 1600 a special train was run from London bridge to a secret destination. But the passengers, wfio comprised members of parliament, peers, pickpockets, pugilists, clergy and, it is said, a few bishops, cheerfully took tickets simply marked "excursion." They presently found themselves near Famborough. in Surrey, where the fight occurred.—London Chronicle. Original of Falstaff. Sir John Fastolf was the original of Shakespeare's Falstaff and in his day was a continual butt for the Jests of the town and borough of Southwark. Though he had fought at Agincourt, when Jack Cade invaded the borough, he showed great cowardice. When ,Cade was yet some way off Fastolf had armed and fortified his bouse and garrisoned it with veterans of the French wars. On the arrival of Cade, however, he withdrew his garrison and fled to the Tower, leaving his neighbors to the mercy of the rebels. Fastolf s matrimonial adventures seem also to have been another source of unpopularity, for, having married a widow named Scrope, be seized her property and kept his stepson out of his inheritance during his own lifetime.—London News. «"^^^^ssssssssssssee»«Mw ••• n i "Great Expectations."

Dame gives some valuable advice and suggestions on the care of milk In hot weather as follows: "The abnormal hot weather in the summer of 1911 has already caused the loss of thousands of dollars to the city milk producer and condensery patrons on account of sour milk. In addition the housewife has suffered the loss of milk and the anxiety of infantile diseases from the same source. The milk distributor Is likewise a sufferer from the same causes. It is the purpose of this article to point out how these losses might be avoided. The responsibility does not lie with any one class; ignorance and neglect or all combined make these losses possible. "Let us get down to the fundamental principles as i o the xauses -of sour milk. Sour milk is^caused, to be plain, by dirt and warmth. "In the University of Michigan can be found a sample of milk ten years old which is still sweet. How was this brought about? The milk was absolutely clean. First, tbe cow's udder and teats were washed clean with a disinfecting solution. Next, the milk pail and milker's hands were likewise treated, also his clothing. The milk was placed in a sterilized glass jar and hermetically sealed...„&&&._._so. will keep an Indefinite period. How can we explain this? It has been Tbuhd that sour milk is caused by certain bacteria which are on the cow's hair, on the teats and udder and on the milker's hands and clothes, in the -dust in the airy i n fact, they cllng^to all substances. When they fall Into the milk they begin to breed_and develop lactic acid which sours the milk. The more dirt that gets in the milk the more bacteria gets in. The more bacteria gets in the Quicker the milk will sour. It Is necessary, however, for milk to be warm. The warmer the milk the quicker bacteria will multiply and the quicker the milk will sour. Kept under 45 degrees mllk-JKilLjnot Holiness Camp Meeting Closes. Tbe Michigan State Holiness Campmeeting association closed Its twenty- \ sixth annual meeting, the big tabernacle being crowded with people to hear a strong sermon by Dr. H. C. Morrison of Louisville, Ry. The program of th.e last day of the meeting opened with a prayer service at six o'clock, and at 10 o'clock there was a large congregation at the.tabernacle, when Dr. H. C Morrison, tbe southern: evangelist, opened the. fore? noon services, and by that hour the"} big park was swarming with people in addition to those who were attending the tabernacle services. All through tbe day there were services of one kind or another in progress at the tabernacle and the Epworth chapel, and again the gospel wagon from Lansing did good service in providing interesting speakers for overflow meetings in the park, and even at that all the people who wanted to, were not able to get near enough to the speakers to catch all that was said. The singing at the gospel wagon was a very interesting feature of the overflow meetings, and it was greatly enjoyed by hundreds of camptneeting visitors. The association's election of officers resulted in the re-election of Rev. M. M. Collen of Ionia, president; Rev. George A. Brown of Battle Creek, secretary, and M. D. Crawford of Eaton Rapids, treasurer. Secretary Brown and President Collen will remain at the grounds for a day or two in order to settle up the affairs of the association for this year's meeting. Extensive Improvements are contemplated on the grounds before the meeting of 1912.

Sattler of the Michigan Good Roads' association of Jackson states the state highway department has offered to build samples of the different kinds of state reward roads for the delegates at the coming meeting at Lansing, August 31 and September 1 to inspect. While the speakers have not yet been secured, an effort will be made to engage such men as L. W. Page, good roads specialist from the agricultural department at Washington; N. P. Hull, master of the Btate grange; State Highway Commissioner Ely, ex-State Highway Commissioner Earle, President Brown of the State Automobile association, and a representative of the Detroit Association of Automobile Manufacturers. A campaign is being planned for the betterment of public highways in Michigan. Competent road builders will be sent into every county, city and village to organize associations to build good roads, asking each merchant to pledge a certain amount for every mile of good road built within ten miles of his store; to secure a similar pledge from every automobile owner and also from rural mail carriers. It is figured that by this method good roads can be built so the farmer will have to pay only about 20 per cent of the cost, the balance being paid by the state award and by the State Good Roads' association. After Reduction of Fire Hazards. In reports covering June and July, H. A. Wolff, assistant state fire marshal, Informs his chief. Insurance Commislsoner Palmer, that in every city he has visited on trips of inspection he has found many dilapidated frame buildings and tumble-down sheds 'which are a menace to sur- | rounding property and which should becleaned up and repaired or removed. He also states that In most of these cities gasoline and other explosive materials are handled very carelessly and adds that he hopes the regulations the department is promulgating will bring *bout Improved, conditions relative to the inflammable materials. During June he inspected and issued orders relative to improving fire menace conditions in Muskegon, Yp~ silantl, Ann Arbor, Grand Haven* Spring Lake, Lansing, and In July he examined 154 frame buildings in various cities, including Manistee, Cheboygan, Grand Rapids, Reed City, with second trips through Lansing*. Manistee and Cheboygan. In these visits the aslsstant marshal states that he has received cordial co-opeTatlon from the local fire authorities. He adds that judging by conditions as he has found them, the appropriation available had better be spent in bringing about reforms to prevent fire rather than in Investigating alleged Incendiary fires.

The average estimated yield per acre In the state and southern counties is 18, in the central counties, in the northern counties 15, and in the upper peninsula 20 bushels. The average estimated yield of rye per acre In the state, southern and central counties, is 14, in the northern counties 13 and in the upper peninsula 22 bushels. The condition of corn as compared with an average, in the state is 82, in the southern counties 85, in the central and northern counties 79 and in the upper peninsula 92. The condition one year ago was 79 in the state, 77 in the southern counties, 82 in the peninsula, The estimated average yield of oats in the state is 30, in the southern and central counties 31, in the northern counties 24 and in the upper peninsula 36. The continued dry and hot weather is having a>very bad effect on potatoes. The condition of beans, compared with an average per cent in tbe state and southern counties is 81, in the central counties 80, in the northern counties 82 and in the upper peninsula 84; sugar beets as compared with an average, in the__slate arioTcenfral counties is 87, in the southern counties 86, in the northern counties 88 and in the upper peninsula 105. The drouth, excessive heat, high winds and insects'caused a very heavy fall of apples during July and reduced the crop outlook very materially. The prospect for an average crop in the state Is 41, in the southern counties 42, In the central counties 28, in the northern counties 40 and in the upper peninsula 71. The prospect for peaches in the Michigan fruit belt is 84 per cent, and in the state 7^. One year ago the prospect was 39 and 49 respectively.

They are now assessed at about $25,000,000, and the new figures places the value at $125,000,000. This is the greatest increase ever made in any one class of property in the state, and is sure to occasion a great fight before the state tax commission and the state board of equalization. The report of MrfFinlay is expected to be ready before the state board of equalization meets on Aug. 21. Say Lines Must—Buy Safeguards. It is the intention of the state railroad commission to compel the electric lines of the state to equip dangerous curves and switches with safety devices in order to put a stop to the numerous accidents which have cost many lives during the past few months. Chairman C. L. Glasgow has written to various manufacturers of safety devices and as soon as he receives quotations on the prices he will call a meeting of managers of Michigan electric lines and submit the proposition to them. He says that the roads must take immediate action as soon as a uniforom system of protection for curves can be found. Shoots Wife and Kills Himself. C.

He notices a camp tire at a distance and then sees a team attached to a wagon and at full gallop pursued by men on ponies. When Keith reaches the wagon the raiders have massacred two men and departed. He searches the victims finding papers and a locket with a woman's-portrait He resolves to hunt down the murderers, Keith is arrested at Carson City, charged with the murder, his accuser being a ruffian named Black Bart. He goes to Jail fully realizing the peril of swift border Justice. A companion in his ceil is a negro, who teito him he 1B Neb and that he knew the Keith family back In Virginia. CHAPTER V.—(Continued.) "I dunno, Massa, I done heerd 'em talk some 'bout dey plans, an* 'bout some gal dey wanted ter fin', but I didn't git no right sense to it De Gin'ral, he was a might still man." "The General? Whom do you^mean? Not. Waited .. — "John Sibley dona called him dat" Then Keith remembered—just a dim, misty thread at first, changing slowly into a clear recollection. He was riding with despatches from Longstreet to Stonewall Jackson, and had been sho.t through the side. The first of Jackson's troops be reached was a brigade of North Carolinians, commanded by General Walte—General Willis Walte. He had fallen from his horse at the outposts, was brought helpless to the General's tent, and another sent on with the papers. And M.rs. Walte had dressed and bandaged his wound, That was where he had seen that woman's face 'before, with its haunting familiarity. He drew the locket from beneath his shirt, and gazed at the countenance revealed, with new Intelligence. There could be no doubt—it was the face of her who had cared for him so tenderly in that tent at Manassas before the fever came and he had lost consciousness, And that, then, was Willis Waite lying In that shallow grave near the Cimmarpn Crossing, and for whose death he had been arrested. 'Twas a strange world, and a small one.

What strange combination of circumstances could ever have brought such a man to this place, and sent him forth across those Indian-scouted plains? Surely nothing ordinary. And why should those border desperadoes have followed, through sixty miles of desolation, to strike him down? It was not robbery, at least in the ordinary Bense. What then? And hpw was "Black Bart" Involved? Why-should he be sufficiently interested to swear out a warrant, and then assist in his arrest? There must be something to all this not apparent upon the surface-—some object, some purpose shrouded in mystery. No mere quarrel, no ordinary feud, no accident of meeting, no theory of commonplace robbery, would account for the deed, or for the desperate efforts now being made to conceal It. Some way, these questions, thus surging upon him, became a call to live, to fight, to unravel their mystery. The memory of that sweet-facet" women who had bent above him when the fever began Its mastery, appealed to him now with the opportunity of service. He might be able to clear this, bring to her the truth, save her from despair, and hand over to justice the murderers of her husband. It was up to him alone to accomplish this—-no one else knew what he knew, suspect* ed what he suspected. And there was but one way—through escape. To remain there in weak surrender to fate could have but one ending, and that swift and sudden. He had no doubt as to "Black Bar^s" purpose, or of his ability to use the "Red Light" outfit ss desired. The whole plan was clearly evident, and there Would be no delay la execution—all they were stilting for was night, aad a Ux g a a e d ^ e glanced about at the walls of the room, bis eyes grown hard, his teeth clenched. "Neb," he said shortly, "I guess that was your outfit all right, but they were not killed by Indians. They were run down by a gang from this town—the same fellows who have put you and me In here. I don't know what they were after—that's to be found out later,—but the fight yon put up at the camp spoiled their game for once, aad led to your arrest They failed to get what was wanted in Carson, and so they trailed the party to the Cimmaron Crossing. Then I got oa their track, and fearing the result, they've landed me also. Now t h e m get rid of us both as best they •in.

Keith ran his eyes over the walls, carefully noting every peculiarity. "We'll remain here quietly Just as long as it Is daylight, Neb," he replied finally, "but we'll try every board and every log to discover some way out. Just the moment it grows dark enough to slip away without being seen we've got to hit the prairie. Once south of the Arkansas we're safe, but not until then. Have you made any effort to get out?" The negro came over to him, and bent down. "I was lay In' on a board what I'd worked loose at one end," he whispered hoarsely, "back ob de bench; but I couldn't Jerk it out wld'out something ter pry it up wid," "Where Is it?" "Right yere, Massa Jack." It was a heavy twelve-inch plank, part of the flooring, and the second from the side-wall. Keith managed to get a grip next to the black fingers, and the two pressed It up far enough for the white man to run one arm through the opening up to his shoulder and grope about betow. "There's a two-toot space there," he reported, as they let the board settle silently down into position. "The back part of this building must be set up on piles. I reckon we could pry that plank up with the bench, Neb, but it's liable to make considerable racket Let's hunt about first for some other weak spot" They crept across the floor, testing each separate board, bat without discovering a place where they could exert a leverage. The thick planks were tightly spiked down. Nor did the walls offer any better encouragement Keith lifted himself to the grated window, getting a glimpse of the world without, but finding the Iron immovable, the screws solidly Imbedded in the outside wood. He dropped to the floor, feeling baffled and discouraged. I t will have to be the plank back of the bench, Neb," he announced briefly, wiping the perspiration from his face. "Get down there, aad work it at loose as you can without making any noise, while I keep my ear to the door and listen for any interruption.'' They took turns at this labor, discovering a loose nail which gave an opening purchase at the crack, thus enabling the insertion of a small wood* en block, and insuring space for a good finger grip, when the right time came. A sleepy Mexican brought in thee* dinner, and set it down on the bench without a word, but on his re* and his cronies, Keith was soon convinced they were unknown to Hicks, who had evidently been deceived into thinking that this last arrest had created no excitement. "That's why we picked yer up so somewhat larger, arranging the bench Itself so as to afford the necessary leverage, but even then MB entire weight failed to either start the spikes, or crack the plank. Some altercation began in the other room, the sound of angry voices and shuffling feet being plainly audible. It was clear to Keith that they must take the chance of a noise, and no better time than this could be chosen. "Here, Neb, take hold with me, and bear down—put your whole weight ou it, boy." The two flung themselves upon the end of the bench, leaping up and down so as to add weight to power. Something had to give, either the stout wood of their improvised lever or else the holding of the plank. For an Instant it seemed likely to be the former; then, with a shrill screech, the long spikes yielded and the board suddenly gave. With shoulders inserted beneath, the twe men- heaved It still higher, ramming the bench below so as to leave the opening clear. This was now sufficiently ample for the passage of a man's body, and Keith, lowering himself, discovered the earth to be fully four feet below. The negro Instantly Joined him, and they began creeping about in the darkness, seeking some way out. A rudely laid foundation of limestone along obstructed their patch to the open air. This had been laid In mortar, but of inferior quality, so that little difficulty was experienced in detaching sufficient to obtain hand hold. Working silently, not knowing what watchers might be already stationed without, they succeeded in loosening enough of the rock to allow them to crawl through, lying breathless In the open. Accustomed as they .were to the darkness, they could yet see little. They were upon the opposite side from the town, with no gleam of lights visible, prairie and sky blending together into spectral dimness, with no sound audible but the continued quarrel in the front room of the Jail. Keith crept along to the end of the building from where he could perceive the lights of the town twinkling dimly thr(fflgn~the--iutenBe blackneesr -gvfr dently the regular evening saturnalia had not yet begun, although there was already semblance of life about the numerous saloons, and an occasional shout punctured the stillness.

When Carson does wake up, she's hell." He left them tobacco and pipes, and went away evidently convinced that he had performed his full duty. *The two prisoners, puffing smoke-rings into the air, heard' the heavy clang of the iron bar falling into place across the door, and sat looking into one another's faces through the deepening twilight. In the mind of both black and white reposed the same thought. The negro was first to kfe5k>±he silence. " Tears, ter pre^ Massa Jack, like dls yere Bart pusson am-'mighty anxious ter hab np suspicions raised." "Anybody but Hicks would see that" acknowledged the other, the rings of smoke circling his head, "but he hasn't any brains. It was pure nerve that got him the Job. Well, this is one time that 'Bart pusson' is going to find an empty coop.v We'll get out Neb, just as soon as it gets dark enough. Hicks isn't likely to put on bis extra guard for an hour yet, and the *Red Light' bunch won't be fit for business much before midnight By that time we'll be In the sand hills, heading south, able to give them a run for their money—well have horses, too, if we can find them." The negro's eyes shone white. "Fo' de Lawd's sake, Massa," he protested, "dat'd sho' be a hangin* job If ebber dey cotched us." Keith laughed, knocking out the ashes from bis pipe. "With an hour's start that,will be the least of my troubles," he said, quietly. CHAPTER VI. The laeape. It was dark enough for their purpose in half an hour, the only gleam of remaining color being the red. glow of the negro's pipe, even the opening in the iron grating being blotted fromsight Keith, staring in that direction, failed to perceive any distant glimmer of star, and decided the alght meet be cloudy, and that time for action had come.

That it would be turned loose, and also directed, the man lying on his face in the grass felt fully asBured.

But thero was no time to lose; •very moment gained, added to their chance of safety. "Are those horses tied there by the blacksmith's shop?" he asked, pointing. The negro stared In the direction indicated, confused by the shadows thrown by the dim lights. "I reck'n dey am, Massa Jack; I done make out fo'." "Then two of them must belong to us; come on, boy." He ran forward, crouching behind every chance cover, and keeping well back behind the lice of shacks. A slight depression in the prairie helped conceal their movements, and neither spoke until they were crouching together beside the wall of the shop.

Many people In the United State* are afflicted with a queer diatuae, according* to a statement yesterday by Professor James M. Munyon. He made the following remarkable and r a t h e r statement: grewaome "Many persona who come and write to my headquarter* a t 53d and Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa., think they are Buffering from a simple stomach trouble, when In reality they are the victims of an entirely different disease—that of tape worm. These tape worms are huge Internal parasites, which locate In the upper bowel and consume a_ llaarrggee centage of the nutriment 1¾ undigested a length . ^. Per- _ . food. They sometimes g r o w ^ o of forty to sixty feet. One may havu tape worm for years and never know the cause of his or her ill health. "Persons who are suffering from one of these creatures become nervous, weak and Irritable, and tire at the least exertion. The tape worms rob one of ambition and vitality and strength, but they are rarely fatal. "The victim of this disease is apt to believe that he is suffering from chronic stoijiach/ trouble, and doctors for years without relief. This is not the fault of the physicians he consults, for there is no absolute diagnosis that will tell positively that one Is not a victim of tap© worm. "The moflt__cjammon_symptom- #t -tM»- trouble is an abnormal appetite. At times the person fa ravenously hungry and cannot get enough to eat. At other times the very sight ot food Is loathsome. There is a gnawing, faint sensation at the pit of tj*e stomach, and the victim has headaches, fits of dizziness and nausea. Ho cannot sleep at night and often thinks he is suffering from nervous prostration. "I have a treatment which has had wonderful Buccess In eliminating these great creatures from the system. In the course of its reprular action In aiding digestion, and ridding the blood, kidneys and liver of impurities It has proven fatal to these great worms. If one has a tap© worm, this treatment will, In nine cases out of ten, stupefy and pass It away, but If not, the treatment will rebuild the run-down person, who Is probably suffering from stomach trouble and a general anaemic condition. My doctors feport marvelous success here with this treatment. Fully a dosen persons have passed thflse worms, but they are naturally reticent about discussing them, and of course we cannot violate their confidence by giving their names to the public." _ Letters ^addressed to Professor J a m e s M. Munyon, 63d and Jefferson Streets, Phlladelpha, Pa., will receive as careful attention as though the patient called in person. Medical advice and consultation absolutely free. Not a, penny to pay.

The Suffolk horse is a chestnut la color, with a big body on short leas. While they do not stand as high from the ground as other draft breeds, yet when led upon the scales they compare with any breed In regard to weight Stallions weigh from 1,400 to 2.000 pounds and mares from 1,200 to 2,000 pounds. In temper the Suffolk horse Is docile In the extreme. They need very little breaking, taking naturally to work in harness. Vicious stallions are rarely seen. The stallion herewith Illustrated la Luther, age two years and weight 1*800 pounds. ® ••\ Geo. Black and son of Cat. spent tbrj practice to have the dog immediately put to death. Whenever the animal is suspected of having rabies this procedure is highly fallacious and cannot be to strongly condemed, as it often makes tbe positive determination of whether or not the dog had the disease impossible. Rabies can only be communicated by animals affected with rabies and only a short time before the appearance of symptoms. The dog should be tied or shut up and closely watched. If symptons do not appear in the suspected attinml within » week, the wound bas not been inoculated with the virus of rabies. If the dog dies within the period mentioned, the brain, or better, the entire head, should be immediately removed, packed in ice to prevent decomposition, and sent to the Pasteur Institute at Ann Arbor Mich., for examination, and if the suspicion is confirmed by laboratory findings and the diagnosis is positivey the individual who was bitten should without further delay be given the Pasteur treatment Over 90 per cent of all cases of rabies result from being bitten by dogs. It is therefore of highest importance that the muzzling of dogs be enforced. In Great Britain the number of cases of rabies in 1889 was 312, at which time the muzzling began to be enforced. In 1832 the number of cases had been reduced to 38 and the muzzling wag relaxed. After this the number of cases rapidly increased to 672 in 1895 after which muzzling was again enforced and the number of eases was reduced to 9 in 1900. Let ns profit by the experience of Great Britain and remove this terrible affliction from our midst. Wben annimals cannot bite they cannot communicate the disease and the contagion of rabies will die with tbe dyin? of the last infected. Many of the coutrivances sold as muzzles are not effective and are simply attempts to evade the. law. In a town where a muzzling order is in force unlets a dog wears an efficibreeds could not possibly, nor would | *lth iretrnroms aW^bTdTpapers. any one expect them to stand It. Our own experience has been that tbey do aa well as any. other work horse on half the amount of feed. For agility In comparison With weight they excel all other breeds. They are the one breed of draft horses that ia expected to trot with a loaded wagon. As a long lived breed they are especially noted. The Suffolk stallion Julian's Boxer, foaled in 1803, traveled the roads of Suffolk county during the breeding season for twenty-five years, and the majority of the present day Suffolk horses can be traced back to this horse.

HORSE COLIC REMEDY. Symptoms end Treatment of This Common Ailment. Oolllc makes attacks suddenly. The horse may show every symptom of distress and then get up, begin eating and seem relieved, only to be in agony again in fifteen, twenty or thirty minutes. This, with recklessness in lying down and absence of abdominal tenderness, distinguish the disease from inflammation of the bowels. The attacks may Increase or decrease in severity. To administer a laxative at once ia the safest method, aa this relieves spasms and^ carries out irritating matter. It la well to include an anodyne (belladonna, two ounces; opium, one and a half drams^ aconite, thirty drops), or chloral hydrate, one-naif ounce, to hold pain in abeyance until the system absorbs the laxative. A stimulant to quiet the nervous excitement may also be needed. For this give sweet spirits of niter one-half ounce or carbonate of ammonia two to four orams. Administer also copious injections of warm water with or without anodynes and antispasmodics and walk the patient about gently. If the colic seems to be spasmodic wholly anodynes and antispasmodics may be given without the laxative once in half an boar, hut If they fall give the physic i aloes, four drama), at enough of the othnntll the laxative begins to be absorbed.

Our family has occupied tbe same house in London for several centuries, and the upper stories are crowded This continued residence is remarkable, for there baa never been a political disturbance in the kingdom iu which at least one of my race did not take part In nosing over an old letter written by one of my quarrelsome ancestors to his mother I found the following story: Heaven keep you, my dear mother, and may the Joy of getting this letter and tbe news contained In it not -be too much for you, seeing that your son is out of reach of barm in this pleasant land of France, a land that I shall always love, since Its grapes or, rather, the wine made from their Juice is at the bottom of my escape^ Had It not been for an Idea put in my head by Che wine I had in the cellar of the Tower 1 would now be without a head. like the duke (of Monmouth) in whose stupid effort to take the throne from bis uncle, King James, I waa much mixed. You know that, being a man of rank, yet not a leader In the rebellion, I was accorded the privileges usually granted to such persons, being lodged with the lieutenant of the Tower himself and as flue a fellow as ever served his sovereign. From the first I felt sure I would keep my head on my shoulders, and if I didn't I was bound to enjoy what little time waa left me. The lieutenant and I were kindred spirits. and many were the cups of October ale we drank together, he always giving the toast, "May your head never roll Into a basket, but may you meet the death of a nobleman, falling before a pike or a sword." I bad tbe wine you sent me down in the cellar under tbe Tower in which are the lieutenant's quarters, and one day while drinking with my Jailer, we getting tired of ale, I told him that 1 had some fine French wine In the cellar and if he would let me send my man for It I woald open a bottle. He gave the permission and the cellar key, and, calling Jacob. I gave him the key and told him to go for a bottle. I also tipped him a knowing look. It waa only a look, and I never dreamed that a look and a key would tell him what I wished to say to him, but couldn't speak for the presence of the lieutenant But whan a man la waiting to hare his head lopped off he will cling to any straw of hope, and so did X Jacob waa gone a long while, bat m time came to the door and instead of handing in a bottle •toed without bin clothes banging on bis arm.

Our schools have long been favored with a large foreign attendance, last year surpassing any previous year, and the young people of the surrounding districts will undoubtedly continue to avail themselves of its privileges since it was never iu better condition to give value received. Special ar- ;ements have beeo made so that a high school pupil may get a thorough drill on all subjects required for a third grade certifi. cate. With every years repetition of the school course there should be improvement in every phrase of teatitH&g, more effective amplification of the text*, new examples quoted, new devices for practical exercises. All of this ttrt»a» work unceasing work, for both the teachers and pupils; but work is made easy by enthusiasm and delightful by success. Children are admitted at five yeaue of age. They may remain in the begio*«t« class for one year or be transferred to the first grade as their age and progress require, Begianers classes are •formed but once a year, and that is in September, hence tbe ONLY time of entrance for children is in the PALL. Pupils who wish to enter grades below the High Schools will be permitted to do so on presentation of satisfactory certificates, otherwise they will be subject to such examinations as jtbe Superintendent deems necessary i n order to determine their classification. Non-Resident pupils receive a cordial welcome, and so far as is consistent with the general grade ing of the school a special effort will be made to afford a^l such a classification as is best suited to to their needs An eighth grade county diploma admits a pnpil to our ninth grade. . Non-Residents that have not passed the county examination will be given an examination before entering our high school. Superintendent H, ^ D. Me- Don gall will be pleased to meet parents or pupils, at bis residence on Unadilla street, who may wish to interview him before opening of Bchool. Now for another year of drawing out, unfolding, developing, enlarging and strengthening all the powers, faculties and susceptibilities of human nature. •W TEEPLE HARDWARE COMPANY "I n' i",• rw»? f?! rJ$5*£& > • > * * • • -N,- - 4 i dk ,'.. - v- n Throw r!.'! n:^ns:re \vhcrc it's needed moat..'

'"T&^titf? /VMJffT itt D/XIt HE marketing of hit produce Is obviously on* of the chief responsibilities cf the American farmer and In. the pres-' ent age, scarcely less than in the days of oiar grandfathers, is the problem of transporting the produce to market liable to prove something of a problem. To the outsider it might appear simple enough if he does not take into consideration the numerous factors "that have bearing tn the matter;" For one thing, there Is the weather, which must always be taken into account in planning a trip to market With produce, even though the journey J^Jto, * • made over good roads. Then SgeSj, the product to be transported may be fragile, such as eggs, or perishable, as, for instance, some forms of berries and fresh fruits. And finally there is the necessity of taking into account probable market conditions at the prospective destination, for presumably produce will sell more readily on "market days" than on "off days." Despite the complications that soem Inevitable there are a surprising number of American farmers who still persist In the practice of marketing their products direct to the consumer. Indeed* In some localities the number seems to actually be increasing rather than diminishing. This is all the more remarkable when we pause to reflect upon the facilities that are now being offered the farmer for marketing his produce at his own door. Agents of commission merchants and "runners" for dealers in the large cities traverse rural routes, regularly, buying for spot cash eggs, vegetables, etc., and to a point have things'progressed the farmer who prefers may sell his «berry crop on the vines and his peaches or pears or apples on the trees leaving to the "other fellow" not only all the worries of transportation, but the bother of picking and packing and, incidentally, the loss from waste. At the same time there Is no certainty that the farmer who elects to market his own products has not the best of the bargain. He Is very likely to have if his farm Is located near any good-sized town or city and if he is engaged in diversified farming or trucking. Of course the man who is farming on a big scale and devoting himself to a specialty, be it fr celery or nuts or grain will not hauk,£i«*l>roduce to town by the wagonload aa<f disclose of It at first hand to the hungry housewives. All the same it is ten chances to one that he is following the same haste'principles that are the wise ones for the farmer desirous of selling to the best advantage the varied products of a small farm. All the shrewdest men engaged in farming— be they operating on a large or small scale— have learned in recent years that it means added wealth and reduced worries if they can adopt the principle, of selling as directly as possible to the ultimate consumer. Obviously, of course, they cut out the middleman's profit and better yet, they are enabled to eliminate many of the losses In perishable products which have caused so much controversy between commission merchants and farmers. Finally, by marketing direct, the tiller of the soil can establish a reputa* tion for the quality of his products and this is a most Important asset for the man who expects to continue In the same vocation year after year. Indeed, building on the foundation of quality and prompt delivery he may build op a droit of patrons of his own that will render him lode* pendent of everything because they will stand ready year after year to take the entire product of his farm and take it, too, at prices higher than role for the regular run of similar produce in the open market. As the advantages of such plans of direct deal* Ing have been brought home to the farmers they have, been gradually perfecting their facilities for making the short cut from the farm to the city dinner table. The farmer who is a specialist in fruit or vegetable raising or any other line i s likely to have hit own sales agent who goes to the city with each consignment of produce and personally superintend* it* disposition, or If he Is not operating on a big enough scale to do this single handed ho If likely to join forces with several of hit neighbors to engage a representative who will handle their pooled products to the best possible advantage. In any event the quantity of pfodflcs) to be handled insures to the shipper thus situated the belt of freight or express service If, Indeed he has not adopted the particularly up-todate method of transporting hit farm products tar means of motor tracks.

"Particularly in the case of the young people do these periodical visits get to fill a large place in their lives^There are hardships to be sure, not the-4eaet~6i them suggested by the fact that usually the trip to market must begin ere daylight in order to reach the city in time to catch the trade of the earliest marketers, but the farmer folk who have acquired the habit cf huckstering in this way are invariably loath to give-it up. Many a romance, too, has had its inception during the progress of the caravans of produce-laden wagons to market or In the exchange of courtesies between the farmer folk whose wagons are ranged so closely side by side in the congested urban market districts. In the sparsely settled and more isolated sections of the country there are many odd spectacles Incident to the transportation of produce to market. In some localities where canals are yet In use the quaint, slow-moving boats are employed to carry the eatables/and In the south one may see donkeys, bullocks and all manner of unconventional steeds pressed Into service to move the foodstuffs. Just here it may be noted that the old-fashioned colored folk of the south take at naturally to the conduct of portable market stands as a fish does to water. In a kindly climate such as is theirs most of the staple vegeadB- Tr^pftfc«""for-IfselTTn the transportation of farm produce, the major portion of this responsibility yet rests with the good old-fashioned farm wagon drawn by one or two horses. Strength rather than style is a requisite of a produce-carrying vehicle and this same may be said of the horses employed and the harness. The growing preference of the American people for food commodities in package form is an influence felt indirectly in the transportation of farm products. From time out of mind berries have been sent to market in trays, boxes and crates, but latterly there has been a tendency to provide standard size baskets for apples, peaches, tomatoes, etc. In the old days the consumer who purchased less than a barrel of apples or potatoes did not receive them in an "original package" bearing the grower's statement as to quantity and quality, but all this is being changed owing to prevailing market conditions—aided and abetted by growers who are eager to establish a reputation for their branded products. Eggs are another commodity which will bring increased prices all the year round if furnished direct to discriminating consumers. The stigma of the cold storage egg is such that persons who are keen for really fresh eggs are in many instances willing to pay an advance of 50 to 100 per cent, over the prevailing market figure for eggs that can be depended upon. Poultry raisers have not been slow to take advantage of this and instead of the large crates made familiar by cold storage methods we now find the fancy-priced "guaranteed" eggs put up by the dozen in boxes of wood or pasteboard, each box being closed by a seal which insures that its contents have not been tampered with, HIS COLOR CHANGED. a good substitute for spinach if prop erly cooked.

USE FOR,THE CHEAPER CUTS PASTIMES OF THE PAST It hat not been so very long ago—middle aged mothers and fathers of today will recall the happy, happy time—when the game of grace hoops was in fashion. Indeed, was quite the rage, though of that placid epoch It mutt be said enthusiasm for out-of-door amusements as far as the dear girls were concerned, were as mild as pigeons' milk and never bubbled over the brim of pleasure's modest cup. If there was anything the young lady of that halcyon time dreamed it was the charge of being a Tommy. No, no, she matt never lose sight of deportment and her pretty lipa were framed on prisma and prunes to the proper tucker for conversational purposes—that is, for the little conversation that went with the game. So grace hoops were entirely en regie with/ the best ideas for deportment The charm of grace hoop* was slowly but surely paettag away when Maurice Thompson, who invented "Alioe of Old Vincennes," and hit brother, will Thompson, who wrote the thrilling poem, "Pickett's charge at Gettysburg," brought forward the long dinted bow and arrow, laid aside tor villainous" gunpowder, the Indianapolis Newt says. Maurice wrote a clever little book called T h e Witchery of Archery," and in a aurprlttngty short time young men and maidens joined 1» archtry clubs, wart plugging away with blunt arrewa at target* a t Wf around at cream cheese boxes of that day. rTfcdttfk these marksmen and women frequently went wMt of the target not to Cup**, ii '*# ttnn«# *r tomier haw ..who wet tfcere, wtth his bow and a full oompJe.

The writer has Keen the archery game played on several occasions, once on the grounds of the Knickerbocker school with only girls engaged— what a moribund affair It was!—and once, on the same grounds, with a detachment of young gentlemen— with what a delightful difference! But the archery game was not to last. It waa at last to join the grace hoops, and lor a time itt most ardent votaries were fain to solace their grief with the game of croquet and its melancholy dawwdllng. When one looks back to that day, with itt ladylike amusements, one can but wonder at the astounding progress made by the sex in out-ofdoor sport*. Now they thoot at a target or at live game?, either, no more with blunted arrows, bat with revolver and rifle; they play golf, swim, paddle canoes, play basketball, even play baseball, after a fashion; ride astride like their brothers— what a horror that would have been In the days of their mothers—and do anything that any proper young man might be permitted to do without the slightest centers and Quite at a matter of course.

Butchers should endeavor to correct the Impression of customers that only the high priced meats are valuable as food. On the contrary, says the National Provisioned the cheaper cuts are often more highly flavored and fully as nutritious. The chuck is one of the cheapest portions of the beef, but when cooked slowly in a small amount of water eHher with or without vegetables for seasoning is a most excellent dish. In stewing meat if too high a temperature Is used it will toughen the fibre. Another mistake is to overcook the meat until it falls to shreds. The skirt steak sells for two or three cents a pound less than the others, but if properly cooked is just as good. Lay the steak on a meat board and score it well with a chopping' knife. Then dredge with flour and' put it Into a smoking hot frying pan that has been greased enough to keep the meat from sticking to it. When well seared over on both tides pour over it a little boiling water and allow it to simmer slowly for two hours. Season to suit the taste.' A bit of carrot or onion or bay leaf and a little vinegar to soften the fibre will add to the flavor of the meat. All light meats are best stewed and browned just before serving. Mutton or beef is best browned first and then stewed. Cheaper cuts are best cooked In the fireleae cooker. When roasting meat It should be quickly seared over to retain the juices and then cooked slowly until done. Usually fifteen minutes to the pound Is required. Egg Rolls. Beat two eggs into one cup of milk, tdd one tablespoon of melted butter one cup of flour, one teaspoon of baking powder; mix well, then add enough flour to make the dough stiff enough to roll.

The roots of the golden thistle have been found to be good. They are used like salsify. They may be dug in September and kept ffirough the winter. Thus what has heretofore been regarded as a pest by the farmers may now be looked upon as a partial blessing, . Leek is another weed now honored as a food staple. It has wholesome properties and is excellent for flavoring. It can be wintered in a cellarr, or if planted In a large pot the leaves may be cut as often as they get too long to support themselves. Then, too, the bulb may be whittled away from the top until it be used up. The common mallow is another well known weed now being eaten. It rootB deeply, drawing valuable mineral elements to the surface. It has a mild, mellow flavor and those who like lettuce find it palatable. The young leaves are tender and crisp and are prepared like lettuce. It is a valuable tonic which the ancients made use of constantly as a raw food. The common milkweed, cooked, tastes like asparagus. It should be cut when about a foot high. The -slalk is large and succulent. Boiled and served with butter is the usual way of cooking, says the Scrap Book. It is also used as a salad, the tender lips only being utilized. Milkweed is excellent for the kidneys. Another weed which, when boiled like spinach, makes a nourishing dish, is the commonly called "lamb's quarter." It grows where large quantities of loose earth have been exposed to the sun, as in railway filling or newly made country road. It has a straight stem, from which the leaves grow large and sparse at the bottom and smaller and more thickly toward the top.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA "While attending school at Lebanon, Ohio, in 1882, I became afflicted with bolls, which lasted for about two years, when the affliction assumed the form of an eczema on my face, the lower part of my face being inflamed most of the time. There would be water-blisters rise up and open, and wherever the water would touch it would bum, and cause another one to rise.,. Aiter the blister would open, the place would scab over, and would burn and Itch so as to be almost unbearable at times. In this way the sores would spread from one place to another, back and forth over the whole of my upper lip and chin, and at times the whole lower part of my face would be a solid sore. This condition continued for four or five years, without getting any better, and In fact got worse all the time, so much. so that my wife became alarmed lest It prove fatal. "During all this time qf boils and eczema, I doctored with the best physicians of this part of the country, but to no avail. Finally I decided to Try Cuticura Remedies, which I did, taking the Cuticura Resolvent, applying, the Cuticura Ointment to the sores, ing. notice improvement, and continued to use the Cuticura Remedies until I was well again, and have not had a recurrence of the trouble since, which is over twenty years. I have recommended Cuticura Remedies Co others ever since, and have great faith in them as remedies for skin diseases." (Signed) A. C. Brandon, Attorney-at- Lajg,_Grfi£nvllle, P., Jan. 17, 1911.

The alfalfa seeding season, which begins in Michigan in early spring and continues until early summer, has been more extensive than in any previous year. During this time the Agricultural college has sent out 1,823 nltro-inoculatin'g cultures to as many different farms, where fields of from one to twenty acres have been started. Many fields have been sown of which the colleg6~iras~n~o~ recoraT The experiment station has distributed during the year more than 15,000 circulars and bulletins on alfalfa culture, and the extension department has organized sixty-six alfalfa clubs, with a combined membership of 950. These alfalfa clubs are organized wherever ten or more farmers agree to grow one or more acres. The organization of these clubs makes it possible for a representative of the college to hold an evening conference, with the alfalfa growers and to go with them to the tarms the next day to select sultab! fields and give special Instruction.: for planting, etc. There clubs a:.: widely distributed throughout the state* being located in forty-two cour.lies, eleven of which are In the upper peninsula. ^ The alfalfa-fields in various parts of the state which were started in previous years are reported as doing well and producing quantities of fodder, which has no equal in point of nutritive value and palatibillty. Many .fleldB now being cut for the seventh or eighth year are giving a profitable return. It will be plain from the above statements that alfalfa raising in Michigan is past the experimental stage and should appeal to every Michigan stockman as a serious economic proposition. Late summer and fall is the right time td begin thinking and planning for the alfalfa field of the coming year. It is then we can best decide on location and plan on preparation of the field. Havjng decided" early to grow alfalfa gives one a chance to watch for a good quality of seed and not be dependent on the market at seeding time. Then, too, in thinking about It beforehand it is almost certain that many points of information will be picked up which will be of great advantage when it comes to the actual field operations. The illustration with this .article shows this year's first cutting of alfalfa on an old leveled-down gravel pit. No other crop could be induced to grow here, but owing to the depth of root the alfalfa plants have grown and produced a profitable crop of fodder. "Circulars- giving "Information oh "Alfalfa Culture" have been widely distributed by the experiment station, but there Is still a supply, and Circulars 1 and 5 may be secured by writing to Director R. S. Shaw, East Lansing, Mich. Level Fields and How to Get Them By R. J. B A L D W I N Michigan Agricultural College Cultivation and Pruning of the Brambles By O. I. GREGG, Assistsot Horticulturist Michigan Agricultural College One of the greatest factors which , affect farm crops and farm operations Is the form of the surface of the land. An uneven surface net only makes machinery work with greater difficulty, but causes the crop to be spotted, due to uneven supply of moisture1 and fertility. The little elevations shed the water, which carries with it the readily available plant food. If the surface is more nearly level the manure will stay more evenly distributed and there will be lesB areas suffer for the want of the moisture which helped to drown out the crop in other parts of the field during the rainy season. Leveling can best be done while fitting the land for wheat, or in the spring when it is best prepared for beans. Any other time will do, as well provided the surface of the field is loose to a depth of several inches and the season is not too busy. Many leveling devices have been successful, and the one illustrated here does good work even where the land is very rough. It is made of stiff 2x12 inch plank, the sides being 18 to 20 feet long, and the cross pieces S feet long. The front faoes of the cross pieces, which push the dirt, should be faced with iron, to prevent wear on the cutting edges. Boards should be nailed over the top of the leveler to act as braces and afford a place for the driver to ride and carry other weight if necessary. The free ends of the plank sides should be provided with shoes three feet long and three or four inches wide. When drawn over uneven ground the middle cross piece will cut and carry when It passes over a rise and will nuload when the two ends are high. The front piece works in the same way, loading and unloading itself automatically. Pour horses will handle a leveler of these dimensions, and cover a considerable area per day. Mi Fix the Gates. Keep the gates fixed up. A large gats tkat sags out of *laca or* drag* om the f r o m * wastes a lot «f jpur It is a common practice to keep the cultivator going until late in July in com and beans, but many and in fact most farmers and small fruit growers do not think it necessary to pay much attention to the cultivation of the brambles. The most successful growers, however, cultivate them up to picking time and then cultivate the ground after every picking, thus making and keeping the soil mulch which is so necessary in order to utilize all of the soil water to the very best advantage. Continue this cultivation until about the first of August, then discontinue it, as it is necessary to stop the rapid growth in order for the canes to become well matured before winter so that they will not be so apt to freeze back. Some growers place the rows far enough apart—nine or ten feet—so that a disk harrow can be used with two horses throughout the season. Pruning of the brambles differs not only with the kind but also with varieties, but generally speaking the new growths of black raspberries and purple cane raspberries should be tipped as soon as they reach a height of two to two and one-half feet, even though it is necessary to do it picking time. This causes the side branches to develop quickly and gives them a longer time to make strong side shoots. The black raspberry should be tipped as soon as it reaches a height of 18 inches to two feet. The young shoots of the red raspberry should not be touched until the following spring, then all shoots of all branches should be cut back to the point where the shoot begins to curve toward the ground. Many growers put off pruning out the old fruit canes until the spring pruning, but this is a wrong practice. The old canes of all kinds of brambles should be taken out Just as soon as the canes nave stopped fruiting. In fact some growers have them nearly all removed by the time the pickers are through the last time. These old canes if allowed to remain simply spread disease, take up room and shade the young growths. These old canes harbor Insect pests and they are the ones most apt to have Anthracnose, a disease which works on the cane, girdling it or nearly so, causing the fruit to ripen prematurely or dry up on the bushes. It can be kept from spreading to the other new canes to a great extent by cutting out these old canes as soon after harvesting as possible, then burn the primings, do not leave them in the row for some future time as they are as bad there as they wars on tfeo bush.

Century Ago Once Housed State's First Governor. Kansas City, Kan.—Within a few hundred feet of the site of the new city hall and almost under the shadow of the beautiful St. Mary's Catholic church there stands the oldest frame house in this city. It is the .home of the Misses Amelia and Ag&~" tha Waller, daughters of John Wajfrer, one of the early settlerb of Wyandotte county. Besides being the oldest house of its kind in the city this residence has the distinction of once having sheltered for a period of several months the first governor of Kansas, Charles Robinson. The Wallers have learned that he once had hiB office in the front room of the house, but whether he resided in the remainder of the dwelling they do not know. His period of residence in the house was in the early '60s, before a permanent state capital of KarisaB had been selected His home was near Lawrence, but business interests brought him to Kansas City, history says. This little house—It is a one-story structure with four rooms now, and it used to have but three—was brought here from Cincinnati" on a boat. It Is believed that the house was occupied in the Ohio city. When it was brought down the <5hio river, and up the Mississippi and the Missouri, and into the Kaw, it was in sections. The sides had been taken apart and the weather boarding removed. The old carpenter here avers the weather boarding was fastened to the frames with wooden pins. Miss Agatha Waller thinks the house was plastered soon after it was put together here. Just who brought the house to Kansas City has not been established. It is known, however, that it arrived in 1858 and at that time Samuel Mclntyre, one of the men who platted Wyandotte county, owned the property upon which the house stood. It is probable, therefore, that it was he who was responsible for the house being transferred to the banks of the Kaw. The house is still well preserved. The owners of it seldom have occasion to have it repaired. There never Llttte Pitcher Lady Visitor-*! sin coming to your mamma's company tomorrow, Jommy. Tommy—Well, you won't get a good supper.

Despite its age, says Miss Agatha Waller, the house is snug in the winter time. Almost half a century has passed since John Waller bought the house and several adjacent lots. His first purchase in that neighborhood was of 14 half lots and the house. For this he paid $360. Today any one of these lots would be worth several times that amount, "When my father bought the house," said Miss Agatha Waller, "it set several lots east of its present position and faced on Fifth street. The porch which runs along the side of the house in its present position was then said to be on the front of the house. It was a neat house. We were proud of It and its fame of having been brought here from 'far off' Cincinnati. - Of course m these days of fast travel Cincinnati does not seem far away, but it seemed a long distance then."

V \ V \ V * V \ V \ V White One of the beat and cheapest methods for feeding beet calves, writes E . C. Forbes In the Breeder's Gazette, la to let the calves follow the cows in pasture without any grain until early fall, when they are separated and the calves placed in a small pasture by themselves and allowed to nurse night and morning, with what grain they will clean u p twice a day. The grain ration should consist of equal parts by measure of coarsely ground shelled corn. oats, bran and finely chopped alfalfa or clover hay. If plenty of alfalfa hay Is at hand the calves should have access to mangers or racks filled with it when the grass becomes short. Care should be taken In starting calves on alfalfa, as too much of it will cause them to scour. Allow t h e calves to nurse twice per day until they are on nearly full speed; then let them nurse but once per day for a time, and finally the milk can be taken away entirely and no difference will be noticed In their gaining flesh. This method is In the spring or summer, but fall and winter calves, a s a matter of course, must be handled differently. Such calves should be put on feed just a s soon as they are old enough to eat and allowed to nurse twice per day. They sbould have free access to open sheds In inclement weather, but should never be housed more than is necessary. **#7 "%!*. .Ty% > » THE PRINCIPAL WINNER -—- ' v By F. A.

Clinton The superiority of a steer of beef type tor the economical production of meat has been demonstrated scientifically by Dr. H. P. Armsby in tests at the Pennsylvania experiment station. It was found In the most careful trials that a pure bred steer bad about the same digestive capacity as a scrub steer of rangy type. The amount of nutritive materials required for the mere maintenance of life was onethird greater for the scrub steer. The rate of gain per unit of feed was practically the same for the two steers owing to the fact that the scrub made more of its gain in lean meat, which contains mech water. The pure bred steer had a greater capacity for consuming feed, and It produced more fat. representing the storage of more energy available for human food.

This, however, is an excellent weight, and the feeder must not expect to have all of his calves attain this growth. Cows nursing calves during the winter months should be well taken care of.

When t h e American troops were fighting their w a y across Cuba, Captain Timberlaka, commanding a party otk flankers, noticed a coffin lying not far from the road. That evening i n camp Captain Timberlake was chatting upon the events of the day with the adjutant and the aoajor of h i s regiment, talking about who had been killed, who wounded, how t h e Spaniards fought and how they had the advantage of the Americans in the matter of arms nnd smokeless powder, when Timberlake spoke of the strange sight of a coffin lying beside tbe road.

The stakes having been put up, Captain Timberlake called Pat Mulcahey, a recruit picked u p just before leaving the States, and told him to go back half a mile and look out not far from a bridge over a creek for a coffin.

Indigestion in young foals Is often caused by the youngsters eating litter, such as straw, horse manure and, in fact* anything they can find. Often the foals eat such matter when only a few hours old, though they eat It at any age. The trouble usually comes on under one week of age. Tbe foal's stomach is unable to assimilate such material, and often the intestines become impacted, and the foal Is likely to succumb in a few-days. The best treatment, is prevention. This can be done by placing a morale on the young foal. Such a muzzle can be made of wire, it ihonid-** removed often to let the foal suckle the dam. In case the foal is troubled the best treatment is to give physic and Injection. For this ol ire ofl is prefer* red. and It may be given in two ounce doses three times per day until relief Is gained. — If. W. Harper. Cornell University. * A Causv Per Wonder.

Current humor has given to the •world, that It may laugh and be merry, the Btory of the woman who was so afraid of germs that "even her relations were strained." Now this 1B something more than an idle jest, and there is one New England community where a doctor has openly accused his women patients of being "germ mad." For this over-particularity Is an especially -feminine obsession. The case of the woman who bathed her child 100 times in 24 tours, and then was sent to the insane aBvhim, is well authenticated. Just as ft is possible to find sermons in stones and books in the running brooks, so every circumstance in life may be made to hold and yield the terror of Infection, a pressure of fear that, growing, often weakens and sometimes, annihilates the intellect Ween it is possible that Ignorance may be both blissful and safe, then the folly of wisdom is apparent. All this is no argument for carelessness. Every menace should find a watching sentinel, but one may mistake harmless things—orerscrub, overdislnfect, oversterillze every sorrounding object until life becomes a burden. - "Doctor,-now often shall—J- —boil Henry's toys?*' demanded an anxious mother of her family physician. "Just as often as you boil Henry himself, madam," was his sensible reply. The advice was followed, and In spite of a tendency to oversterillzation, Henry has grown Into 'a splendidly- strong boy. But if a woman believes and agonizes over the fact that a dog has 2,450 microbes on the tip of each ear, or that eating an unpeeled apple invites instant death, her condition may grow as hysterically pitiful as if ehe were a victim of the primitive superstition of the evil eye.—Youth's Companion. Wealthy Insane Patient. The officials of Fergus Falls (Minn.) prison had a curious prisoner m charge the other day in the person of Miss Lois Warwick, 78 years oldd. When the old lady, who had gone suddenly Insane, entered the prison she was clad in rags and seemed povertystricken, but a casual examination of her clothing, resulting in the finding of $480, a diamond ring, two loose aids and another precious stone. 8 this she had A certificate for fs\$ff worth of stock in the Rex crude oA eompany and about $225 in bills. When the matron finally persuaded her,to_cMang.e hftr rlnthlng and go-te bed, she was astonished at the weight of the aged patient's skirt. The brief examination showed that it wai a veritable gold mine. Tier after tier of $10 gold pieces were sewed up in the skirt and in a sort of a sack made for the purpose, and amounted to $7,- 800. Suicides in St. Petersburg. Societies of medical men and others now are being formed to combat the plague of suicides which threatens to become epidemic in St. Petersburg. The other day, for instance, no fewer than eleven cases are recorded in the newspapers. The victims include a policeman, who blew out his brains on the bank of the Ne~a, and a young baron, aged 16. The major* ity belonged to the workirfg class, ;:nd seven were 26 years of age or under. Five poisoned themselves, two shot taen8oIvoayTnie~^a7nrtrt--biB__. throat, another threw himself under a train, and in two cases drowning was the method of self-destruction chosen.

SHY ON PAY FROM THE STRIKE FUND ENDS STRUGGLE. 'he Struggle Was Long and Very Bitter and Involving Six Thousand Workers and Millions of Loss. At a secret masa meeting of the striking furniture workers of Grand Rapkls Thursday night it was voted to call the strike off and return to work. The meeting was held at Powers' theater, and although the result was irot officially announced, it is stated by those in attendance at the meeting that the vote to return to work was alracit unanimous. The strike had been on for 17 weeks and was one of the most determined fights between organized labor and organized employers in the history 0{ ^ e state. For months before the struggle began both the men and the manufacturers were organizing and preparing for a long fight. The men demanded a nine-hour day instead^ of ten, 10 per cent increase rn wages and the recognition of the union. The employers declined to concede any of_the&B_noinlfiT. .setting up tie-claim that it would be impossible to grant an increase in wages until all furniture concerns throughout the country saw fit to make the same advance. The strike involved about 6,000 men, including six unlcus. cabinet makers, trimmers and furniture packers, machine hands, fiuishers, upholsterers and wood carvers. The three former were united as carpenters and joiners. ( When the men struck the impression gained currency that they would receive through the national body about $8 per week strike benefit. Bu* the married men received $5.50 and the single men $4.50 per week. Many of the rhen. sought other positions until at the close only about 3,000 were among the unemployed. Perhaps nearly 4,000 will go»Baek.to work In old positions as the result of last night's vote. The -organization on both sides remained intact until the last and the national body paid about $125,000 In strike benefits During their idleness the men lost three times what the benefits came to, or close to a half million dollars in wages. The losses to the manufacture ers cannot be estimated. It Is millions. # The act of the strikers in calling off the strike was directly due to the fact that the national, body failed to send further strike benefits, it is said. The manufacturers promise their "!d m7"ir)-fH4^r p-iy p°~hi>ftn fff p'fM" ble, about Jan. 1. The workmen call off the strike with the belief that better hcurs and pay will follow the long, fruitless fight. *^ Special Board Spending Lots of Cash. When the last legislature passed the act providing for appointment of a commission to investigate conditions and report at the next assembly suitable legislative action providing compensation for injured workingmen, the lawmakers placed no limit en the amount of money to be expended, and as a result bills of such proportions are being presented as to cause consternation among the state board of auditors. The act makes It mandatory upon the board to audit and allow such claims as are sworn to and duly certified by the chairman or some authorized member of the commission, and unless they absolutely refuse payment, a« in thn onnn nf h]]]*. jni^pT^ ed by Attorneys Barkworth and Kirchner for legal services rendered in the proceedings against the Michigan Central railroad, this investigation may tap the genera] fund to the extent of $50,000 before the next regular session In 1913. State Death Rate Is High for July. According to the mortality report Issued by the secretary of state, there were 3,141 deaths in the state during July. This number corresponds to an annual death rate of 13.0 per 1,000, estimated population. A considerable Increase is noticed in the number of deaths returned for July, as compared with the month of June. By ages there were 648 deaths of Infants under one year of age, 171 deaths of children aged one to fonr years, Inclusive; and 691 deaths of elderly persons aged 65 years and over.

The—state board -of—registration et nurses held a meeting at the capltol and nearly 100 applications for nurses' certificates were received. All but two of these applications were made on diplomas furnished from some training school. Two lone women applied in person, and took the written examination. After January 1, however, all who desire to obtain a state nurse's certificate must take the written examination, as after that date no more certificates will be issued on diplomas granted by any school. From indications the number of nurses who will be entitled to ask a certificate after the new law goes into effect will be diminished to a large extent, as members of the state board of health say that the written examination will be much harder o pass than the examination used by the average school, whose diplomas entitle a person to a state nurse's certificate. /"' School Beys as Forest Wardens. While he is not ^engaged in prosecuting poachers, violators of the fish law, and bringing to justice- officials of railroad companies who fail to properly equip their engines witb spark arresters and other devices calculated to prevent the setting of forest fires, William R. Oates, the game warden, is just now figuring on a plan to conduct a campaign of education on forest, fires in the district schools of the northern counties, In every county in the north there is one or more deputy wardens, but owing to the large expanse.of territory they are obliged to cover'it is impossible for them to know the instant a fire starts, Major Oates proposes to enlist the support of every school boy and have him report^to the teacher of his Bchool the instant he sees a bit of burning brush. The teacher would be required to notify the nearest supervisor and ho ia turn would bring to the scene all the available fire fighters in the community. Favors Union of M. A. C. With U. of M.

NEWS IN BRIEF. Robert A. Taft, eldest son of President Taft, has arrived in Venice.

Every railroad In the United States and Canada will replace its right of way fences with beautiful flowering hedges, if plans of the Railway Gardening association, which opened its fifth annual convention in Chicago, are carried out. The Board of Trade and subsidiary organizations have started a movement for an electric line to be run through Vassar, Caro, Cass City, Bad Axe and have a terminal at Harbor Beach. The third of the series of junket trips of the Wholesalers and Manufacturers' association was made and the towns named were visited by automobiles. All the business men at each city have promised to assist the Saginaw boosting forces in promoting the line. Rep. Norris, of Nebraska, wants the federal government to promote a national congress to draft uniform marriage and divorce laws for all states. He is partly actuated by the Astor-Force engagement. Lynn, Mass., police are now equipped with paper billies.

LIST BILLS KILLED. The Statehouso Bills for Arizona and New Mexico are Passed In Acceptable Form Finally. Congress has been making a general dean up and is now ready to adjourn. The solid Democracy of the house aided by the insurgents on the Republican side, struggled earnestly but ineffectually to over-ride President Taft's veto and of the wool and the farmers' free list bills. On the wool bill, with 23 Republican insurgents joining hands with the Democrats the vote was 227 to 129, five members voting present. On the basis of the total vote cast, the 227 members registered in favor of overriding the president's veto was 14 shy of the necessary two-thirds. On the free list bill with 25 Republican insurgents assisting the majority, the vote was 226 to 127, two members voting present. This vote of 22C in favor of passing the bill over the veto was 11 votes under the necessary two-thirds. Statehood for Arizona and New Mexico now only awaits^tbe-ijeffttnetory approval of President Taft. The Flood-Smith resolution admitting these territories into the union with the judiciary recall feature of the Arizona constitution eliminated to meet the objection which caused President Taft to veto the original statehood bill, was passed by the house without the formality of a roll call. No attempt was made in the house to pass over the president's veto of the original bill, which contained the judiciary recall provision. The resolution was passed after a spirited two hours' debate. Rep. Flood, of Virginia, chairman of the territories committee, declared that the Democrats favored passing the original bill over the president's veto, but knowing such an attempt would be useless, they had decided to take the step that would insure immediate admission of the territories tcr the union. t President Taft signed the,campaign publicity bill, which was sent to the White House after both, bouses ofcongress had accepted the conference agreement. The bill provides for publicity before elections and limits the amount that candidates for senator and representative may spend in their campaigns. The brlkalso extends the publicity features to primary campaigns and nominating conventions. It limits the amount candidates may-spend to $o,- 000 for congressional candidates and_ $10,007) fur senatorial aspirants. <lan-^ didates also are required to make public all pledges of political appointments. The bill, of course, applies only to congressional elections, Congressional. Probe of Business. Rep. Martin Littleton of New York Introduced a bill in the house to create an Industrial and corporate commission to recommend any necessary changes in the laws regulating interstate commerce, The commission will inquire into the Influence and effect of the Sherman anti-trust law, the methods by* which great industrial corporations transact Interstate business, and the growth and development' of such enterprises. The commission will be required to report to congress as ^oon as possible what changes ought to be made to the Sherman law In order to make it conform to presen^ day needs. ^^ Confessed the Crime. A prisoner in the Denver county jail giving the name of Frank M. Wratson, confessed that he with two companions held up the Southern Pacific overland limited at .Reese, Utah, on the night of January 1, when Wm.

Well pleased with the showing made by the fruit market men at Milwaukee, and confident . that the opening of that avenue of, trade to the western Michigan shore will prove of great benefit, nearly 400 business men from Hart, Shelby, Pentwater, New. Era, Muskegon and other towns, have returned home. Milwaukee during the business men's visit, displayed its, desire to get in touch with the west Michigan fruit shore, pointing out that the arrangement will give a chance towards reciprocal trade witt a country as yet hardly opened tc Wisconsin.

He notices a camp llrt! at a dlatance and then sees a team attached to a wagon and at full gallop pursued by men on ponies. When Keith reaches tho wagon the raiders have massacred two men and departed. He searches tho victims finding papers and a locket with a woman's portrait. He resolves to himt down the murderers. Keith Is arrested at Carson City, charged with the murder; his accuser being a ruffian named Black Bart. He goes t o jail fully realising the peril of swift border justice. A companion In his cell is a negro, who tells him he In Neb and that he knew the Keith family back In Virginia. Neb s a y s one of the murdered men was John Bibley. the other Gen. Willis Walte, formerly an officer in the Confederate army. The plainsman and N e b escape from the cell. CHAPTER VI.—(Continued.) It was the quiet, confident voice of Assured command, of one satisfied wUh Ms plans, and thfionedlent negro* breathing hard, never dreamed of opposition; all instinct of slavery held him to the dominion of this white master. Keith leaned forward, staring at the string of deserted ponies tied to the rail. Success depended on his choice,'and he could judge very little In that darkrtess. Men were straggling In along the street to their right, on foot and horseback, and the saloon on the corner was being well patronized. A glow of light streamed forth from its windows, and there was the sound of many voices. But this narrow alley was deserted, and black. The fugitive stepped boldly forward, afraid that otherwise he might startle -the ponies and thus create an alarm. Guided by a horseman's Instinct he swiftly ran his hands over the animals and made quick selection. —"Here, -Neb, take this fellow; lead (him quietly down the; bank," and he thrust the loosened rein into the black's hand. An instant later he' had chosen his own mount, and was silently moving In the same direction, although the might there was so black that the obedient negro had already entirely (vanished. The slope of the land not only ^helped cover their movements, but also rendered It easy for them to iind one another. Fully a hundred yards westward they met, where a gully led !<nrectiy down toward, the river. There was no longer need for remaining on foot, aB they were_ a sufficient distance away from the little town to feel no tear of being discovered, unless by some drunken straggler. At Keith's command the negro climbed into his caddie. Both ponies were restive, but not vicious, and after a plunge or two, 'to test their new masters, came easily under control. Keith led the way, moving straight down the gully, which gradually deepened, burying them in it* black heart, until it finally defbouched onto the river sands. The riotous noises of th.e drunken town |disd slowly away behind, the night silent and dark. The two riders could scarcely distinguish one another as -jth«r drew rein at the edge of the warterSTo, the southward there gleamed « cluster^©!flights, marking the post- ,tlon of the cTamn^of regulars. Keith [drove hlghorse deeper Jnto the straam- The men could see nothing but this solid sheet of water rushing down toward them from out the black void, and then vanishing below. Once Keith's horse half fell, plunging nose under, yet gaining foothold again before the rider had deserted his saddle. A dim darkness ahead already revealed the nearness of the southern bank, when Neb'B pony went down suddenly, swept fairly off its legs by some fierce eddy in the stream. Keith heard the negro's guttural cry, and caught a glimpse of him as the two were sent whirling down. The coiled rope of the lariat, grasped In his right hand, was hurled forth like a shot, but came back empty. " Not another sound reached him; his own horse went Bteadily on, feeling his way, until he was nose against the bank, with water merely rippling about his ankles. Keith driving feet again into the Btlrrups headed him down stream, wading close in toward the-shorerieanlng forward over the pommel striving to Bee through the gloom. He had no doubt about Neb's pony making land, unless struck by some driftwood, or borne to the center of the stream by the shifting force of the current. But if Neb had failed to retain his grip he might have been sucked under by the surge of waters. A hundred yards below he found them, dripping and weak from the struggle, yet otherwise unhurt. There were no "A hundred and fifty miles as the crow flies, and sand all the way, except for the valley of Salt Fork. Come on now, and keep close, for it's easy to get lost in these sand hills." Keith had ridden that hundred and fifty miles of sandy desolation before, but had never been called upon to make such a journey as this proved to be. He knew there was little to fear from human enemies, for they were riding far enough east of the Santa Fe trail to be out of the path of raiding parties, while this desert, country was shunned by Indian hunters. It consisted of sand hill after sand hill, a drear waterless waste, where nothing grew, and mid the dread sameness of which a traveler could only find passage by the guidance of stars at night or the blazing sun by day. They had covered ten miles of It by daybreak, their ponies traveling heavily, fetlock deep, but could advance no further; "With the first tint of rose in the east the brooding storm burst upon them in wild desert fury, the fierce wind buffeting them back, lashing their faces with sharp grit until they were unable to bear the pain. The flying sand smote them in clouds, driven with the speed of bullets, in vain they lay flat, urging their ponies forward; the beasts, maddened and blinded by the merciless lashing of the sand, refused to face the storm. Keith, all sense of direction long since lost, V - and headed northward, the negro fol- {lowing like a shadow. There was a ford directly opposite Ithe cantonment, and another, more dangerous, and known to only a few, three miles farther up stream. Keeping well within the water's edge, so a s to thus completely obscure, their (trail, yet not daring to venture deep for sear of striking quicksand, the plains* man set his pony struggling forward, until the dim' outline of the bank at fcis right rendered him confident that they had attained the proper point for crossing. He had been that way only once before, and realised the danger of attempting passage in inch darkness, hut urgent need drove him forward. ritoUowta* just as dose as you can, boy,H'he saM sternly, -and keep both your feet out of the stirrups. If your horse? goes down hang to hts tail, and let him swim out" There was little enough to guide by, merely a single faint star peering out from a rift of the clouds, but Keith's remembrance was that the ford led straight out to the center of the stream, and then veered slightly toward the right He knew the sand ridge was only used-by horsemen, not being wide enough for tho safe passage of wagons, but the depth of the water on either side was entirely problematical. He was taking a big chance, yet dare not wait for daylight euafflccOng all his nerve and alertness, he urged his horse slowly forward, the intelligent animal seemingly comprehending the situation, and feeling carefully for footing. The actions of, the animal gave the rider greater corifidence, and he loosened bis; grip on the rein, leaving the pony's testffict to control. The Utter fairly crept forward, testing the sand befovsresting any weight upon the"hoof,. the negro's mount following closely. The water was unusually high, end-as they advanced it bore down against them i n considerable volume; then, as they veered to the right, they were compelled jar mull rtimuii ssafnsi it* iwasa5B»..ss hausted that their riders finally dismounted, and staggered forward on foot, leading them stumbling blindly after. Once the negro's horse dropped, and had to be lashed to its feet again; once Keith's pony stumbled and fell on him, hurling him face down into the sand, and be would have died there, lacking sufficient strength to lift the dead weight, but for Neb's assistance. As it was he went staggering blindly forward, bruised, and faint from hunger and fatigue. About them night finally closed in, black and starless, yet fortunately with a gradual dying away of the storm. For an hour past they had been struggling on, doubting their direction, wondering dully if they were not lost and merely drifting about in a circle. They had debated this fiercely once, the ponies standing dejectedly^ tails, to the storm, Neb arguing that the wind still btew from- the south, and Keith contending it had shifted into the westward. The white man won his way, and they Staggered on uncertain, the negro grasping the first pony's tail to keep from being separated from his companion. Some instinct of the plains must have guided them, for at last they dragged themselves out from the desert, the crunching sand under foot changing into rock, and then to short brittle grass, at which the ponies nibbled eagerly. The slope led gradually downward, the animals scenting water, and struggling to break away. Swaying in their saddles, the riders let them go, and they never stopped until belly deep in the stream, their noses buried. The men shivered in their saddles, until, at last satisfied, the ponies consented to be forced back up the ba.uk, where they nibbled at the short tufts of herbage, but in a manner expressive of weariness. Keith flung himself on the ground, every muscle of his body aching, his exposed flesh still smarting from the hail of sand. He bad not the slightest conception as to where they were, except he knew this must be the Salt Fork. Utterly confused by the maze of shifting dunes, through whose intricacies they had somehow found passage, the blackness of the night yielded no ciue as to their point uf mergence.

The wind was rising, hurling clouds of sand into their eyee, and the plainsman held one hand before his face. There's no need of keeping up a water trail any longer," he said quietly. ?By all the signs we're in for a send storm by daylight, and that will cover our tracks so the devil himself couldn't follow them. Qot a water bag on your saddle. /1 reck'n dis am one, pah." Keith felt of the object Neb held forth. • T e e , and a big* one, too; flu it and strap it on tight; we've got a long, dry ride ahead.''

With their hands and feet they made a slight wind-break, dragging the struggling ponies into its protection, and burrowed themselves there, the clouds of sand skurrying over them so thick as to obscure the sky, and: rapidly burying them altogether ss though in a grave. Within, an hour they were compelled to dig themselves out yet it proved partial escape from the pitiless lashing. The wind howled like unloosed demons, and the air grew colds adding to the sting of the' grit, when some, sudden eddy hurled it into their hiding place. To endeavor further travel would mean certain death, for no one could have guided a course for a hundred feet through the tempest It was three o'clock before It died sufficiently down for them to venture out Even then tho air remained full of sand, while constantly shifting ridges made travel difficult Only grim necessity—the suffering of the ponies for water, and their own need for soon reaching the habitation of man and acquiring food—drove them to the oarly venture. They must at> tain the valley of the Salt Fork that night or else perish la the desertthere remained no other choice. Tying neckerchiefs over their horses' •yes, and Tying flat themselves, they sucoeeded in pressing slowly forward; winding In and out among the shift* tog dunes, with only tho wind to guide thorn. It was an awful trail, the hoofs mattttlng sand, the nonfeg tesjoatf&f;7** e» ume of water in the stream alone suggested that in their wanderings they must have drifted to the eastward, and come out much lower down than had been originally intended. If so, then they might be almost directly south of Carson City, and In a section with which he was totally unacquainted. One thing was, however, certain —they would bo compelled to wait for dayllght -to~7a"scertain the^TruTh," and decide upon their future movements. Keith arose reluctantly, and removed the saddles from the animals, hobbling them so they could graze at will. Neb was propped up beneath an out-cropping of the bank, which partly protected him from the wind, a mere hulk of a shadow. Keith could not tell whether he slept or not, but made no effort to disturb him. A moment he stared vacantly about into the black silence, and then lay down, pll- Tho m a n sat on his wide piazz a , in his overcoatj H e ~ s a t d : " T h i s w e a t h e r s u r e h a s fraa- Zled me and got my goat.

An Oxford sire Is as good as can be found for cross breeding and a fine mutton type. The- ewes are very hardy, very prolific, are fine mothers and seldom ever have any trouble In lambing season. They are very quiet and gentle with their lambs, have an immense amount of milk, and the ewes never refuse to own their iambs. The rams at two years of age often weigh 800 pounds.

By so doing we save very largely in the number of lambs raised. Pure water and salt should oe kept by the ewes and Lambs In winter as well as in summer. If sheep and lambs are properly fed and watered and their feet kept dry we have gone a long way in properly caring for them.

Attention is called to a new law passed by the State Legislature at its last session that, prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons without first obtaining a license therefor and dirks, daggers, stilettos, metalic kauckies, sandbags or skull-crackers are absolutely prohibited. Heavy penalties attach to violation 9/this law, a second offense making the person liable to State Prison.

Oust Deals in Oeath A warning against the dangers of dust was issued in a statement made last week by 'he National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in which it is show a that the percentage of deaths caused by tuberculosis in dusty trades is more than double that for all employed men in the registration area of th9 United States. As a result of the dangers from consumption to those exposed to various forms of dust, and at the request of the National Association, the United States Government has recently appointed a commission to work in co-operation with state authorities in making an investigation into the condition of the metal mining inJustries in the United States, with speciati^ference to diseases of the lungs. The work of the commission engaged in this special task will follow lines somewhat similar to those worked out by the Royal Commissioa of Australia, whose report wasreceetly received in this country. "Dasts are three kinds," says the National Association; "factory street and house dusts." The statement refers to the results obtained through investigations made for the Bureau of Labor, by Frederick L. Hoffman. While among males generally in the registration area of the United States 14.5 per cent of all deaths are from consumption, the mortality among grinders from this disease is 49.2 per cent, and in hardly any of the dusty trades is it below 25 per cent. The percentage of deaths from tuberculosis among all those exposed to metalic dust is 36.9 per cent; to mineral dust 28.6 per cent; to vegetable fibre 2gjLper oe There's a Big Difference In Washing Machines You don't want a washing machine that takes longer to do the washing than it should.

Tree surgeon is tbe customary title of the expert who devoteB himself to ministering to sick and in whether "tree doctor" would not be much as in with trees as with huma cian than the surgeon that is need The tree doctor is, perforce, a spe Jbe_addedjhat the subject is a much first thought, suspect, and Is" well w life work and the life study of the that, "tree doctoring" within a limit ties of any farmer or other private just as gardening may be made a sue to being a fancy gardener. Indeed, the owner of any wooded land who desires to preserve the mature forest growth is all but compelled to delve into the lore on this subject if he does not want to employ a professional forester, and the farmer who wants to preserve the priceless heritage of the stately trees that surround and Shade the Ideally-placed farm house must do likewise. One phase of tree doctoring that the layman can undertake almost as successfully as the professional Is that embraced in preventive measures,. With, trees, as with all other growing things, the policy of the ounce of prevention is a wise one and moreover there are some wealthy men who own large estates In this country who employ tree doctors as the Chinese employ physicians—to keep them well rather than to cure them after sickness has set in. This "stitch in time" policy as applied to trees Is particularly serviceable in the case of the insects, etc., which play such havoc with tree growth if left to carry on their depredations unmolested. It Is always preferable and usually simpler to bar pests of this kind from the cherished trunk and branches than It is to banish them once they have gained a foothold. Speaking of this responsibility in tree doctoring directs attention to the exceedingly varied activities that are embraced in the ministering to our Bylvan treasures. There are numerous different methods of circumventing the caterpillars and other objectionable invaders, and there are likewise any number of prescriptions that may be tried out if the pests have taken ^possession of trees ere the alarm is given. Prominent among these latter remedial measures are the various forms of tree spraying for which special apparatus is now provided and apropos of which extensive experiments have been carried-on to determine the most effective formula to be introduced as spray. Another branch of tree surgery deals with the intelligent removal of dead or diseased limbs of trees and the repair of damage done by Are, lightning, high winds, etc. And finally w a r n m a tn tha t r i m nn»gnwy n - M r h jn {ftp, case of trees, as with people, Involves the removal of portions of the vital tissue; the termination of decay or disease; and the substitution of other substances—in the case of trees, concrete being a favorite medium for closing wounds • and fostering the healing process. It might be supposed by many readers that tTee doctoring would be restricted largely to the country and suburban districts, but' such Is -very far from being the case. Indeed, It wuuld seem as though the residents of our towns and cities prize their trees more highjy and are willing to do more to preserve theni than are the farmer class—and, perhaps, this ie natural considering that tall, stately trees are much rarer in cities than In the "rural districts. At any rate most of our^large cities now employ one or more tree doctors to look after the trees in their parks and the shade trees on streets and boulevards, whereas it is becoming almost imperative for a *" man who aspires to the position of head gardener on any large private estate to have enough knowledge of ailing or insect-Infested trees to cope with the situation. The TJ. S, Department of Agriculture and the state governments in many of our leading states now maintain special departments that devote jured trees, and yet it is a question a more appropriate designation, inasn beings it is more often the physied to set things right. cialist in his chosen Held and it may deeper one than the laymanjnight, at orthyToT5e~ made the BubjecT of~tbe man who Is attracted to it. For all ed range is quite within the possibilicitizen who is Impelled to study it cess by a man who makes no claims in the world is this doctoring done so thoroughly as in the United States. The invention of Bpecial spraying apparatus began as early as the year 18S0, and jsince that time, each year has been the advent of new and improved apparatus. Some six or seven years ago the steam-power s p r a y e r made its appearance and a little later there was evolved the gasoline outfit, which may be seen in operation today on so many farms and In many city parks. W h e r e the poison charged liquid employed for spraying must be hauled some distance it is customary to resort to outfits of liberal tank capacity, and many of these range from 150 to 300 gallons. For spraying high trees it is necessary to use an elevated tower or platform built upon a wagon and with one man on the tower and two men on the ground spraying may be carried on with the greatest possible degree of efficiency. Of course, a good length of hose is essential—one-half inch being a popular size, and it should be capable of standing 200 pounds pressure per squa/e inch. Trees in towns and cities are naturally much more UableTo such injuries as will later require the practice of tree surgery than are those in the country districts. The piling of building material against trees, the attaching of guy wires and the grading of streets or roads are all causes productive of injuries. Overcrowding by other trees, horse bites and girdling by wire labels are other sources of trouble. One of the worst of all, however, Is improper pruning or tree butchery. As a matter of fact, Intelligent, "systematic pruning and tree surgery are very clo&ely related. STONE THAT BURNS ITSELF Cast of the Jordan Lime Is Made From Rock That Contains Its Own Fuel. While making a trip through the riauran district recently the writer's attention was attracted to a curious stone which might be described as a "seli-burning limestone." Our party came upon some natives burning It and was enabled to see the operation. This district is south of Damascus, east of the upper Jordan. At this place the rock lay in a stratum between ordinary limeBtone; it was of grayish black color, and when freshly broken had an odor of petroleum. Near by were outcrops of what looked like the same material many rods long and 20 to 30 feet thick. Quarrying is easily done with primitive picks and other tools, as the rock is quite soft and full of seams. The stone is broken into small pieces with hammers and piled up against the bank of rock. A wall of the same material about two feet high is roughly laid up around the pile on three sides, making a pile of small stone eight to ten feet long and nearly as wide, and two feet at the fro^t, rising to nearly three times that height at the back, where it lies against the bank. In building the wall around the pile small holes are left for draft and in which to start the fire. When the kiln is ready to burn a few small bunches of straw are placed in the holes mentioned, lit with a flint and steel and in a short time the whole pile has ignited. The men then begin working on a new kiln while the other burns and cools. Jifter_ahojit two hours of burning the stone has all become converted into lime, except the stones in the wall and the very top layer, which are only about half burned. When cool the lime is air-slacked and sifted to remove any pieces not thoroughly burned, which are thrown into a new pile to be fired again. The workmen told us that It made a very black smoke with a bad odor like kerosene burning. The lime is white and said to make a very strong plaster, superior to the ordinary lime burned with brush. This stone is so located that, should it prove to be of commercial value, it could be easily transported.—Consular Reports. RIGHT HEAVY.

"Would you like your sweetheart'^ portrait placed on your fingernails?" is a unusual query at most of the swell Berlin manicurists just now.

Probably the most extensive and most costly project in tree doctoring in the history of the world is that which has been in progress for some years past in the state of Massachusetts. The Object of this prolonged battle Is to exterminate or hold in check the gypsy moth, which, with other kindred species, has threatened to destroy the trees throughout the Old Bay State, if not, indeed, throughout New England. In this fight millions of dollars have been expended, the experts employed by the state of Massachusetts working hand in hand with Uncle Sam's experts, headed by C. $L. Marlatt, perhaps the greatest authority in the world. It Is probably a trifle early to say that the fight haB been won, but certain it is that much headway has been gained and doubtless the damage will be restricted to its present area. Tremendous sums are expended every year in spraying for orchard insects. It Is estimated that not less than $5,000,000 is thus expended each year In holding in check the codling moth and an equally large sum is devoted yearly to treatments agatnst_the San Jose scale. Nowherf clean, sharp sand. After all decayed or decaying matter has been removed from the cavity the whole cavity is filled with this thin mortar, and then, when this has had time to become stiff, but not hard, there is applied a surface coat made of one part sand and one part cement and the surface is so faced as to exclude all moisture from the opening of the cavity. It should be noted in conclusion that Providence has provided us with the best tree doctor in the form of that familiar and unappreciated bird, the woodpecker. The woodpecker is easily the most useful of all the seven hundred varieties of birds to be found in thetUnited States and it is largely because of his constant search for and warfare against the four hundred different varieties of insects that prey upon our trees. The woodpecker is not merely a tree doctor, but is actually a tree surgeon because his most energetic quest is for those Insects that injure the tree Internally and to which access can be gained only by means of the unique equipment with which nature has provided the woodpecker and from the employment of which he derives his name. As a rule the woodpecker makes only shallow holes so that his work may properly be dignified as tree surgery tnat leaves no scars, which is not the least of its advantages. = £ THE SKIN AND COMPLEXION • / . • • • -.-,• w6h» wad-some power the giftle give us • / T o fW ourselves as ittiera see us." —Burns. v-JHow surprised some of us would be »iW *& did posset* this gift, and how f**iofcl* Ira would fcastea to make with a given person's Bkin only can be discovered by experiment.

Pimples and black-heads show that the waste material is not being carried away properly but is being left to clog the pores. Sometimes this accumulation of waste material is due to lack of cleanliness. The waste material is left on the skin and clogs the pores so they cannot perform their work. Sometimes the fault is due to poor circulation or to diseases of the excretory organs. If one organ is incapable of performing its work, the other organs must of necessity do more than their share in trying to aid it. If the kidneys and bowels are not carrying off their share of the waste material of the body, the skin Is burdened with an extra amount to be disposed of. Sometimes It is unable to do this and the waste material is left to accumulate in the skin.

Quite forgetting that she had a substantial little fortune in the bank an old woman, Ruth Evans, residing at Carrog, Llangolla, Wales, had lived and suffered in direst poverty for 20 years. She died recently at the age of 90; neighbors paid for the coffinto save her from having a parish funeral. Afterwards a singular discovery was made by an officer. Upon taking possession of the effects in the little cottage, which were only worth a few shillngs, barely sufficient to pay-the rent that was owing, he found in a rickety drawer a pass-book of an Aberbele bank, which showed a balance of nearly £300 to the aged pauper's credit. The last depoBit was made 30 years ago. The book was forwarded to the bank, and on the account being made up, It was found to total £560, the original amount at compound interest having doubled Itself. By Lydia E.

A LIVE STOCK SHOW OF THE HIGHEST ORDER HOW FELICIA SHOWED HER. When Mrs. Slidell, who lived across the street from the Trentons and had two marriageable daughters of her own, learned that young Dr. Baldwin was devoting himself assiduously to Felicia Trenton it troubled her "Felicia is a good girl in many [ ways," she said confidentially to half a dozen of her most intimate friends, "but she is certainly not the girl for a struggling young physician to marry. While she has the appearance of being a good manager and all that, and everybody knows that she simply runs things at home, it seems to me that it's more a sign of bad temper than anything-else. That poor little mother of hers just gives in to her because she knows there would be a tremendous fuss if she didn't. Of course, she seems to have so much attention from men, butyou'll notice that none of them keep it up very long. "You remember Tom Hays, don't you?" continued Mrs. Slidell, warming to her theme. "Of course, some people say to this day that he was desperately in love with Felicia, but to my own personal knowledge he never went near her the last tirnp ho WAH in It was some weeks later that Fell' cia met Mrs. Slidell Just coming out of Dr. Baldwin's office.

Ann Arbor.—Several changes in the law course in the university have been made that will take effect next fall. One change is that all courses that were for two hours for two semesters have been changed to four hours for one semester, thus increasing the number of hours and lessening the number of weeks. Another change is that 48 hours of the 76 necesary for graduation will be required subjects, making 28 hours elective. Beginning with October, 1912, a year's literary work in some accredited college will be necessary before a- student may enter the law department of Michigan. Monroe.—David Stewart, one of the best-known farmers of Monroe county, was the victim of a Holdup while driving from the city to his home, When about half way to his home, a mile west on the Bluebush road, three men jumped into his wagon and overpowering him, demanded his money and valuables. After securing what money he had, the robbers left their badly frightened victim and made their escape. Stewart notified the sheriff by telephone as soon as he reached his house and the latter started on the track of the highwaymen. Concord.—Miss Leah West, eieven- year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. West of Pulaski, was drowned at Swain's lake, near here.

T h e cement is the material which binds the sand, gravel or broken stone t o - gether; this binding actiton is produced by water. T h e terms "Cement" a n d "Concrete" thus have different meanings, although they are frequently used interchangeably. While cement is only one of the materials in concrete, it is perhaps the most important. T o insure the best results in concrete work, the highest grade of Portland cement should be used.

It was odd, and of course very unfortunate that Mrs. Slidell should have been taken so ill as to require the services of a physician just at the time when her own family doctor was out of town. Felicia Trenton laughed when she happened to look out of the window and see the doctor going up the Slidell front steps to make a professional call. She laughed again when she met him at her own door. "What's the joke?" asked the doctor. "What did she say about me?" she asked. "Who—" the doctor began. Then he, too, laughed. "Conceited young woman," he said; "what makes you thing she said anything about you?" "Precedent," responded Felicia lightly. "You know I dread having a new physician, so I was simply distressed to death when I was taken so ill when Dr. Toole was out of town. But I've simply fallen in love with your Dr. Baldwin." "Oh, please don't call him my Dr. Baldwin's protested Felicia. "I really know him very slightly. He didn't make much of an impression on me when I met him." "Is that possible?" cried Mrs. Slidell. "Why, my girls consider him perfectly charming. You know he has dined with us several times, and just between you and me he's very much taken with Isabel. You know Isabel is so natural and unaffected, and Dr. Baldwin tells me that he particularly dislikes artificiality," "He'll never like me, then," said Felicia.

"Cat," she said to herself. "I'll show her." Fortune favored Felicia, for a few days later, just as she was stepping out of Dr. Baldwin's small, but very correct, little motor car, assisted by the doctor's devoted hand, Mrs. Slidell came trimming lightly, lovingly toward them, "Shall 1 tell her?" murmured the doctor. Felicia nodded. "You darling," cooed Mrs. Slidell, as she stopped beside the two. "How lovely you look, and such a beautiful color! And bow becoming that style of hair dressing is to you," she gushed on. "You don't know how often I've envied you your lovely color and your beautiful heavy hair!" Felicia patted her curls approvingly. "They are rather nice, arent they?" she inquired.

Address tbe National Tribune, Washington, D. C. Rook and Gull. The rook appears to have become < the bird whose uame stands for swin- ' tilers in a distinctly unfair way, the London Chronicle says. At first "rook" meant a dupe, then the verb "to rook" came to mean to cheat, and out of this was evolved "rook," u cheater—a complete topsy turv.y process. It is curious that the same thing has not "happened to "gull." Here also the verb came from the substantive mean ing a dupe, aud, as the gull strikes one as rather a knowing bird, one might have expected the same erolu tion as in the case of the rook. It should be observed, however, thai "gull." a dupe, did not refer specially to the seagull, the word having formerly meant a young bird of any kind. In Elizahetlita English it signified u callow youngster who wished to be thought suuuit. OS(S<9(S9B0nS9SS8SoV3C89KS89(Z89So^K8SX8tt * Literary Cure For Snoring.

A. correspondent who has suffered from both prescribes the cure—a light supper or none, to avoid repIeHon, and the frequent repetition of some literary phrase to provide occupation for the mind during Bleeping hours.

Although the instructions cannot be regarded as suggesting an ultimatum, yet an important step has been taken toward a rupture or an accord depending upon how the German goverment receives the proposals. France is irrevocably determined not to accede to any German interest in Morocco and is equally determined not to give up to Germany as much French Congo territoryas has been demanded. SUOB the P.

The apparent success with which Profeasor James M. Munyon, the worldfamous health authority, has been meeting has (started much discussion. Every street car brings dozens of callers to hia Laboratories at CM and Jefferson Streets. Philadelphia, Pa., and every mall brings thousands of letters from people inquiring about Munyon'B FamouB Health CuU. Professor Munyon's corps of expert physicians is kept busy seeing callers and answering the mail. Peculiar to say, these physicians prescribe no medicine nt all for 60 per cent, of the callers and mall inquiries; health hints, health advice and rules for right living are given absolutely free. Medical advice and consultation absolutely free. Munyon'B followers seem to be enormous. Those who believe in his theories seem to think he possesses the most marvelous powers for the -healing of all sorts of diseases. Munyon, himself, laughs at this. He says: "The hundreds of cureB which you are hearing about every day in Philadelphia are not in any way due to my personal skill. It is my remedies, which represent the combined brains of the greatest medical specialists science has ever known, that are doing the work. I have paid thousands of dollars for a single formula and the exclusive right to manufacture It. I have paid tens of thousands of dollars for oth- -**» ©I- my -various forms of treatment. This Is why I get such remarkable results. I have simply bought the best products of the best brains in the world and placed this knowledge within the reach of the general, public." Among Munyon's callers yesterday were many who were enthusiastic In their praise of the man. One of these said: "For six years I suffered with rheumatism, My arms and legs were afflicted so badly that I could hardly work, and I could not raise my arms to my head, The pain waa most severe In the back, however, and I was in perfect torture. I tried In many ways to get cured. or even to secure temporary relief, but nothing Beemed to help me until I was persuaded by a friend to try Dr. Munyon's Uric Acid Course. It was the most marvelously acting remedy I. ever saw. i within a week the pain had most gone and Inside of a month I considered myself entirely cured. I can now go out in the worst weather—cold, wet or anything else', and I have not felt any suspicion of a return of the disease. I think that every person who has rheumatism and does not take the Uric Acid Course Is making a great mistake." -The continuous stream of caller*: and mall that comes to Professor James M. Munyon at his laboratories at 53d and Jefferson flts., Philadelpbla, Pa,, keeps Dr. Munyon and his enormous corps of expert physicians busy. Write today to Professor James M. Munyon personally.

When Keith reaches the wagon the raiders have massacred two men and departed. He searches the victims finding papers and a locket with a woman's portrait. He resolves to hunt down the murderers.

CHAPTER V I I I . t-i The Wilderness Cabin. I The light was considerably farther ~ away than they had atHrst-supposed, and as they advanced steadily toward it, the nature of the ground rapidly changed, becoming Irregular, and littered with low growing shrubs. In the darkness they stumbled over outcroppings of rock, and after a fall or two, were compelled to move forward with extreme caution. But the mysterious yellow glow continually beckoned, and with new hope animating the hearts of both men, they staggered on, nerving themselves to the effort, and following closely along the bank cf the stream. At last they arrived where they «ould perceive dimly something of the nature of this unexpected desert oasis. i The light shone forth, piercing the night, through the uncurtained window of a log cabin, which would otherwise nave been completely concealed from .view by a group of low growing cottonwoods. This was all the black, enshrouding night revealed, and even this was merely made apparent by the yellow Illumination of the window. The cabin stood upon an island, a strip of sand, partially covered by water, separating it from the north shore on which they stood. There was no ^Bign of life about the hut, other than the burning lamp, but that alone was sufficient evidence of occupancy, rh -aplte-ot hnnger. and urgent na^ri, Keith hesitated, uncertain as to what they might be called upon to face. Who could be living in this out-of-the-way spot, in the heart of this inhospitable desert? It would be no cattle outpost surely, for there was no surrounding grazing land, while surely no professional hunter would choose such a barren spot for headquarters. Either a hermit, anxious to escape all intercourse with humanity, or some outlaw hiding from arrest, would be likely to select so Isolated a'-place In which" to live. To them it would be Ideal. Away from all trails, where not even widely roving cattlemen would penetrate, in midst of a desert avoided by Indians because of lack of game—a man might hide here year after year without danger of discovery. Yet such a one would not be likely to welcome their coming, and they were without arms. But Keith was not a man to hesitate he stepped down into the shallow water. "Come on, Neb," he commanded, "and we'll find out who lives here." ' The window faced the west, and he came up the low hank to where the door fronted the north in Intense darkness. Under the shadow of the oottonwoods he could see nothing, groping his way, with hands extended. His foot struok a flat stone, and he plunged forward, striking the unlatch* ed door so heavily as to swing It open, - and fell partially forward into the room. As he* struggled to his knees, Neb's black face peering past him Into ih£ lighted interior,, he seemed to perceive in one swift, comprehensive glance, every revealed detail. A lamp burned on a rudely constructed set of drawers near the window, and a wood fire blazed redly in a stone fireplace opposite, the yellow and red lights jblending la a peculiar glow of color, finder this radiance were revealed the ?Qugh,log walls plastered with yellow clay, and hung about with the skins of wild animals, a roughly made table, W e except for a book lying upon it, and a few ordinary appearing boxes, {evidently utilized as seats, together With a barrel out ao as to make a comfortable chair, la the back wall was A door, partially open, apparently leading into a second room. That was all, .except the woman. , Keith must have, perceived all these in that, first hurried glance, for they Were >ver after closely associated together in his mind, yet at the moment $«?'possessed no clear thought of any- •thing except her. She stood directly behind the table, where she must have •prong hastily at the first sound of their approach, clutching at the rudt mantel above the fireplace, and staring toward him, her face white, her breath coming In sobs. At first ha thought the vision a dream, a oaUriam born *N>m,ais leng atrog^;'h*atoM not ^©omoeiTe the possibility of stteh a presto this lonely p^aoa, and stagger- > .Me faeV g s t l * ^ * ! * * words were so unexpected that, for the moment he failed to realize their full purport Finally he straightened up. "I—I accept any terms you desire," he gasped weakly, "if—if you will only give one return." One return?—what?" Food; we have eaten nothing for sixty hours." Her face, which had been so white, flushed to the hair, her dark eyes softening. "Why, of course; sit down. I ought to have known from your face. There is plenty here—Buch as it is—only you must wait a moment." i. . • V ^ "I—I Accept Any Terms You Desire." at the slender, gray clad figure, the almost girlish face under the shadowing dark hair, expecting the marye 1 lous vision to vanish. Surely this could not be real! A woman, and such a woman as this here, and alone, of all places! He staggered from weakness, almost terror, and grasped the table to hold himself erect. The rising wind came swirling in through the open door, causing the fire to send forth spirals of smoke, and he turned, dragging the dazed negro within, and snapping the latch behind him. When he glanced around again he fully believed the vision .confronting him would have vanished. But no! there she yet remained, those wide-open, frightened brown eyes, with long lashes half hiding their depths, looking directly into his own; only now she had slightly changed her posture, leaning toward him across the table. Like a flash he comprehended that this waB reality—flesh and blood—and, with the swift Instinct of a gentleman, his i*»y-h^>m^ nt pnRBiMft HangMV-^iid numbed, neryelesB fingers Jerked off • , • > • . ^X'rini hlrhat, and-he bowed bareheaded" before her. "Pardon me," he said, finding his voice with difficulty. "I fell over the step, but—but I didn't expect to find a woman here." He heard her quick breathing, marked a slight change in the expression of the dark eyes, and caught the glitter of the firelight on a revolver In her lowered hand. "What did you expect to find?" "I hardly knew," he explained lamely; "we stumbled on this hut by accident I didn't know there was a cabin in all this valley." "Then ,you are not here for any purpose? to meet with any one?" "No; we were lost, and had gone Into camp up above, when we discovered your light" "Where do you come from?" Keith hesitated Just an Instant, yet falsehood was never easy for him, and he saw no occasion for any deceit now. "Carson City." "What brought you here?" "We started for the 'Bar X' ranch down below, on the Canadian; got caught in a sand-storm, and then Just drifted. I do not know within twenty miles of where we are." She drew a deep breath of unconcealed relief. "Are you alone V 'The negro and I—yes; and you haven't the altghtest reason to be afraid of us—we're square." She looked at him searchingly, Wind something in Keith's clean-cut face seemed to bring reassurance, confidence 4n the man. "I am not afraid," she answered, coming toward him around the short table. "Only it is so lonely here, and you startled me, bursting In without warning. But you look all right, and I am going to believe your story. What la your aamer* Keith.- -*^r - s . "A cowman?" "A little of everything, 1 reckon," a touch of returning bitterness in the tone. "A plainsman, who has punched cattle, but my last Job was government scout" "You look as though you might bo more than that," she said slowly. The man flushed, his lips pressing tightly together. "Well. I—I may have been," he confessed unwillingly. "I started out all right, but somehow I reckon I just went adrift It's a habit in this country." Apparently-those first words otcomment had left her lips unthinkingly, for she made no attempt to reply; merely Btood there directly facing him, her clear eyes gazing frankly into his own. He seemed to actually see her now for the first time, fairly—a supple, slender figure, simply dressed, with wonderfully expressive brown eyes, a perfect wealth of dark hair, a clear complexion with slight olive tlnge_ to it, a strong, intelligent face. noT~strictly beautifuIT yet strangely attractive, the forehead low and broad, the nose straight, the lips full and inclined to smile. Suddenly a vague .remembrance brought recognition. "Why, I know you now." "Indeed!" the single word a note of undisguished surprise. "Yes; I thought you looked oddly familiar all the time, but couldn't for the life of me connect up. You're Christie Maclaire." "Am I?" her eyes filled with curiosity. ^'Of course you are. You needn't be afraid of me If you want it kept secret, but I know you Just the same. Saw you at t i n 'Gaiety' in Independence, maybe two months ago. I went three times, mostly on your account You've got a great act, and you can sing too." She stood in silence, still looking fixedly at him, her bosom rising and falling, her lips parted as if to speak. Apparently she did not know what to do, how to act, and was thinking swiftly. "Mr. Keith," she said, at last in decision, "I am going to ask you to blot that all out—to forget that you even suspect me of being Christie Maclaire, of the Gaiety." "Why, certainly; but would you explain?" "There is little enough to explain. It is sufficient that I am here alone with you. Whether I wish to or not, I am compelled to trust myself to your protection. You may call me Christie Maclaire, or anything else you please; you may even think me unworthy respect, but you possess the face of a gentleman, and as such I am going to trust you—I must trust you. Will you accept flay " confidence on these terms?" Keith did not smile; nor move. Weak from hunger and fatigue, he leaned wearily against the wall. Nevertheless that simple, womanly appeal awoke an that was strong sad sacrificing within him, although her CHAPTER IX. The Girl of the Cabin. He saw Neb drop down before the blazing fireplace, and curl up like a tired dog, and observed her take the lamp, open the door into the other room a trifle, and slip silently out of sight. He rememJbere.A_slaxlng_.y^guely about the little room, still illumined by the flames, only half comprehending, and then the reaction from his desperate struggle with the elements overcame all resolution, and he dropped his head forward on the table, and lost consciousness. Her hand upon his shoulder aroused him, startled into wakefulness, yet he scarcely realized the situation. "I have placed food for the negro beside him," she said quietly, and for the first time Keith detected the soft blur in her speeeh. "You art from the South!" he exclaimed, as though it was a discovery. "Yes—and you?" "My boyhood began in Virginia— the negro was an old-time slave in our family." She glanced across at the- black, now sitting up and eating voraciously. "I thought he had once been a slave; one can easily tell that I did not ask him to sit here because, if ycu do not object, we will eat here together. I have also been almost as long without food. It was so lonely here, and—and I hardly understood my situation—and I simply could not force myself to eat." . He dlstinguisned her words clearly enough, although she spoke low, as if she preferred what Was said between them should hot reach" the ears of the negro, yet somehow, for the moment, they made no adequate impression on him. Like a famished wolf he began on the coarse fare, and for ten minutes hardly lifted his head. Then his eyes chanced to meet hers across the narrow table, and Instantly the gentleman reawoke to life. (TO BE CONTINUED.) ODD NEW ZEALAND LIZARt Tuatara Originally Had Pour Eyes, but Has Lost Two in Course of Ages. The tuatara lizard, found In New Zealand, is one of the most ancient forms of animal life now found on earth. Originally this lizard possessed four eyes, but in the course of ages it has lost one pair. The tuatara lay eggs which are remarkable in that they require fourteen-months' to hatch, the embryo passing the win ter in a state of hibernation. The small survivors of past ages are found only in a few localises a; are becoming very scarce, collectors from every part or the world being continually on their trail. They are about two feet in length and, !n common with other lizards, have the for tunate characteristic of being able fo replace portions of their limbs or tails which have been destroyed. It is asserted that one of there lizards, owned by a naturalist, had the misfortune some time ago to lose an eye, and that a complete mw eye, perfect in every way, has grown In the place of the old one.—Montreal Standard. Establishing a Reputation. "If I knew how to go about It I would have every dog In my store tried before a Judge and jury for assault and battery," said the animal dealer. "Unless he was convicted and executed I could get about three prices for him. "Every time a dog is haled to court on the charge of having bitten somebody I attend the trial and take part in the reception the beast holds after his acquittal. A dog that has enough class about him to precipitate a law* suit couldn't be bought for love or money, but if his master wished to sell him he could do so a dozen timet over before leaving the courtroom. "Even If it has been, proved that the dog does show his teeth once in a while there are people willing to take chances just for the sake of owning a dog that has so much character.

Cream, Apricot, Cocoanut, Mclba and Other Varieties That Are Well Worth Trying. Cream Filling for Layer Cake.—One cup powdered sugar, one-fourth cup hot 'water. Let them simmer, beat White of an egg and mix with the above. When cold add one-half cup chopped raisins, one-half cup chopped walnuts, one tablespoon grated cocoanut. Cream Filling.--•Seven-eighths cup sugar, one-half cup Hour, one-eighth teaspoon salt, two eggs, two cups scalded milk, one teaspoon vanilla or one-half teaspoon lemon extract.

Killing for Cake.—Two cups sugar, one cup sour cream. l}oil until it threads. Add teaspoonful hour sifted twice, two-thirds cup chopped raisins. This is good for filling for cakes or frosting. Apricot Pilling.—Pick over and wash two-thirds cup dried apricots. Put in a saucepan, cover with cold water and let soak over night, or for several hours. Cook slowly in water in which they have been soaking until soft, adding more water, If necessary, to prevent burning. Sweeten to taste, and add ujfew grains salt. Force tlrrough a strainer, using a" wooden potato masher. Cool, and add orange juice to taste. Bake chocolate cake mixture in individual tins. Scoop out a portion from the center of each cake and till cavities thus made with apricot rilling. Then frost cakeu with any white frosting, Stewed dried apricots are frequently served as an accompaniment, to bread and buter for the family supper.

If you are obliged to have your hands in water for a long time, so that the fingers become shrunken, dip them in vinegar or pour it over the ha?ids and they will be restored to normal condition. To properly protect the ends of the fingers the nails should extend a little beyond the tips. When the nails are too short the skin Is apt to become rough directly under the nails, which makes it almost impossible to keep them clean. The white crescents at the base of the nail can be brought into view by gently pressing back the cuticle every day. Pile the nail to correspond with the shape of the crescent. Bouquet 8atad. Use a good head of cabbage lettuce, arrange the white leaves in a bunch resembling the matured head in the center of a flat dish, garnish with slices of tomato and hard-boiled eggs. Just before serving cover the whole with plain French dressing. Use a spoon and pour the dressing on carefully so that all part .will be tool stoned without being disarranged. Mayonnaise may be used on the eggs and tomato If preferred, Is which caseAthe dressing should be put on the eggs in the cup under the rotas.

CHILD'S HEAD A MASS OF HUMOR "I think the Cutlcura remedies are the best remedies for eczema I have ever heard of. My mother had a child who had a rash on its head when it was real young. Doctor called It baby rash. He gave us medicine, but it did no good. In a few days the head was a solid mass, a running sore. It was awful; the child cried continually. We had to .hold him and watch him to keep him from scratching the sore. His suffering was dreadful. AUdast we remembered Cutlcura Remedies. We got a dollar bottle of Cutlcura Resolvent, a box of Cutlcura Ointment, and a'"bar•of-CuUettra- Soap. We-gare the Resolvent as directed, washed the head with the Cutictya Soap, and applied the Cutlcura Ointment. We had not used half before the child's head was clear and free from eczema, and it has never come back again. His head was healthy and he had a beautiful head of hair. I think the Cutlcura Ointment very good for the hair. It makes the hair grow and prevents falling hair." (Signed) Mrs. Francis Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 19, 1910. Although Cutlcura Soap and Ointment are sold everywhere, a sample Of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to "Cutlcura," Dept. 12 L, Boston. Naughty, but Nice. Edith, whp_is eight years old, was invited to a children's party. Her blonde hair was perfectly straight, but becomingly arranged, and she started off in high feather. But on her return she was rather silent, and, on being questioned as to her experience, said: "I had a nice time, but it would have been nicer if my hair was kinky. All the other girls' hair was kinky, and I shan't go to another party unless my hair Is fixed in kinks." So the next week, when another invltatlnn rame for the little glrl,_heT_ hair was curled and.fluffed out in the most approved style. Then her mother led her to a mirror, and said: "There, Edith, what do you think of it?" Edith regarded herself soberly for a moment, and then, turning slowly around^-sne said: "It's vain, but I likj As Waists Used to Be. A London paper prints an article from the ladles' treasury of 1866, In which a prize is offered for the woman with the smallest waist in proportion to her size, A silk dress was the first prize and a gold watch second prize. In the school In which the prize was offered by the principal the pupils were required to sleep in corsets, which could, however, bo loosened when retiring. -Many a- j - f r e a s honest as the day is long wouldn't want the searchlight turned on his night record. The only way in which a man can have the last word with a woman is to say it over the phone, and then hang up. Hurry Ends in Indigestion Use your teeth on your food or your stomach will suffer. Quick lunches, hurried eating, bolting food, are sure to end, sooner or later, in some form of indigestion, more or less troublesome. JBeecAamZ &M quickly relieve the distress caused by hurried eating. They act directly on the stomach nerves and actually help the food to digest and assimilate.

When the first passenger railroad ever built was opened in England in 182i) the train traveled from one end of the line to the other, a distance of twelve miles, in two hours. And Wood, one ot the best known writers on thw subject of railroads at that day, wrot« as follows: "Nothing can do more harm to the adoption of railways than the promui gat ion of sachJ nonsense as that we •hail see locomotives traveling at the rate of twelve miles an hour." Today, with locomotives traveling tvt the rate of seventy-five miles an hour One tun look at Wood's warning with a feeling of amusement. In 1829 u locomotive was introduced in this country, «nd iu the following year Peter Cooper experimented with a locomotive on the B. and O. railroad. a^ji»*flues of the boiler were made froni-gpu,.barrels. The boiler was about the size of a flour barrel. Cooper related with considerable satisfaction how on the trial trip of this engine he passed a gray horse attached to a wagon.—New York World. Big Pokir Stale**. Many stories of big poker games among the western cattlemen in the early days have been told, but this story of the game with probably the greatest stakes is really true. Two well known cattlemen of southwestern Kansas, one of whom is now a prominent business man in Kansas City, started to move their herds to the pastures of Wyoming. Each herd contained more than a thousand head of cattle. When they came to the crossing of the Arkansas river near Coolidge they found a flood on. They were unable to cross for,two_pr_ three days! ~To~ white away the time the two men engaged in a poker game. When the flood finally subsided so that the cattle could proceed one of the cattlemen said to his son, who was helping to drive, "Just turn nay herd over to our neighbor and we will go back home." lie had bet and lost not only all the money be hud, but all of the herd of cattle.—Kansas City Journal. Moving Troops by Rail. "Let us suppose it became necessary to send the entire national guard of New York out of the state, how iong would it take the railroads to handle them?" was asked a railroad official in New York. "Twenty-four hours, easy," was the Instant reply. "This is under war condktons, rememberr— which means thai everything gives wny to the movement of troops and their equipment. The railroads of America can handle men and war material of all kinds, including everything from horses and men to cannon and rations, much faster than they can be assembled and delivered to us. In fact, under war conditions the railroads are prepared to do their part quicker and better, with more certainty und better speed, than any other part of the machinery, commercial or military, In America.«'—Katlroad Man's Magazine. * Black Fridays. In England_lhfi term Black Friday was first applied to Dec. 6, 1745, the day on which news reached London that the pretender, Charles Edward, had reached Derby. Again on May 11, 188C, when the failure of a large English discounting institution brought on a most disastrous panic, the day was called Black Friday. On the day of the suspension tbe Bank of Englandraised the rate of discount 9 per cent. Wild speculation in gold in New York and other cities culminated in a monetary crash on Sept. 16, 1875, that swept thousands of firms and individuals into financial ruin and caused a commercial depression that extended into the eighties of the last century; hence the origin of the term Black Friday in the United States.

The expected sequel la the total disappearance of the big farms. Indeed, for that matter, the "bonanza, farms" that excited the wonder of the world a decade or two ago have been gradually disappearing in later years and probably the next generation will find scarcely one of them left unless it be in the most Isolated sections of the country. Now, of course, TJncle Sam's vast domain can support double or triple lour present population without any leuggestion of that crowding which is jnotlceable in Europe, where some of khe countries hate a population that •averages 500 or 600 to the square telle. At the same time the new turn to? affairs will tend to bring into favor (here the small farms that have long [been the standard agricultural holdling abroad. Probably we shall not (have many farms as small as the majority of those In Europe nor will the Ismail farm be as universal in the JNew World In our time as it is across Jthe big pond, but withal It Is manifest that the era of the small farm is cmjaire crjs/fioifjmwMQEJMl^- '..y-*>.'Vv; •'Si***'**" titer' fc!» * * > •- . 4\x.t;„ ,* <•• ..,.-i r«^i;^v,>.. -j&ujijre Mfioifj o/rA cAuicmmwtcn dawning. Qlven a j m a j l oj; moderate _ s l z e - tt&mTVwo'general plans of deriving a livelihood I therefrom present themselves to the Ameeican I farmer. He may specialize, as so many or his j brothers of the soil are doing—that is, concentrate all his energy and Investment on the production of one product, in handling which be aims to become an expert, or, if he he hesitates to thus put "all his eggg in one basket," he may carry on diversified activities. Which of these plans Is best cannot be determined by any rule of thumb. Each individual case must be a law unto itself. Much depends upon the size and location ofthe , farm; its proximity to markets; the size of the ] farmer's family; thVlabor problem in the locality; and finally on the temperament of the.farmer j himself. Even given "two farms of equal size, I side by side, the owner of one might be qualified i lor specialization where his neighbor would at- ! tain better results by favoring that variety which to many people Is the spice of life. Probably, says an agricultural expert, in the case of the average, well-located small farm the , ideal policy, theoretically, is that which prescribes I Hpecialization, but also plans for one or more "Bide lines," which will contribute-to the farm income almost from the start and may ultimately : develop into an Important factor from a financial : standpoint. This means, In effect, that the f a r o | er should concentrate largely, upon one product or group of products, which can derive the bene* 1 fits that almost always accrue from undivided attention, but that h* or members of bis household should have minor or supplementary sources of income, such as bee keeping, poultry raising, e t c , which, while well worth while, would not represent sufficient investment or present serious enough problems to distract the mind of the farmer from the main business in hand. With this latter consideration in view, it is especially fortunate when the "side lines'* on the farm are such that the whole responsibility for them can be taken over by the women and children .of the household without bothering the farmer with the matter at all during his busy season. O m j a e s a "side line" becomes a double blessing, because ,it discloses a means of making use of watte products on the farm. It is being discovered that the one neglected "by-products" of ; our farms hold proportionately as much wealth as -the-1'by-products"- that have -freen~utfflzeir~8b "mT raculously in the manufacturing world. As Illustrations of the application of this principle on the farm there may be cited the case of the farmer folk who now make lavish "pin money" by preparing preserves and jelly with the surplus fruit and vegetables that would otherwise be wasted, and of the country housewives who in their leisure moments make cushions and all manner of saleable novelties (not forgetting fancy hats from the corn stalks) that are worse than useless. Similarly, one rural resident is growing rich from raising water lilies on her little farm, and in the south and southwest some ingenious people have taken up "ostrich farming" and are selling the plumes from the birds at prices that make the> enterprise well worth while. Poultry raising is a side line that comes to mind the minute mention is made of any such activities. There have been thousands of instances where chickens, allowed to run wild on the farm, have ultimately been the means of swelling Jbe family bank account, and to pursue the subject still farther, it may be cited^ that, _ many a—farmer—or -•-farmerVLwIfewhobegan to "keep chickens" solely with a view to marketing the poultry has been surprised in due course to find that the eggs, to which scarce a thought had been given as a source of revenue, have rivaled the dressed fowl In the Income yield. Particularly has this been the case In recent years when eggs have brought as high as sixty cents a dozen in city markets. Eggs as a "by-product" would yield even bigger dividends if care were taken to gather them at least twice a day and to get them to market somewhat more promptly* for, be it known, "gauranteed 24 hour eggs" will always bring five or ten cents a dozen more than the ordinary nin of fresh eggs. *j Without disparaging the merits of poultry as a side line, however, it may be suggested that bee keeping is perhaps the most truly ideal Incidental occupation on the farm. Indeed, the experts strongly advise that bee keeping be not made a sole occupation, although there are many localities where an experienced bee keeper can make a good living by devoting his entire time and attention to the work, once he has the requisite knowledge. The beauty about bee keep-. lng is that'by beginning on a small scale the bees , can be made to pay for themselves and for all additional apparatus, as well as to return some profit all the* while. It may as well be admitted, however, that for all Its advantages there are few occupations that require more study to insure success than does bee keeping. In years when the available nectar is limited, surplus honey is secured only by judicious manipulation, and it is only through considerable experience that the bee keeper can, under such circumstances^ carry out the proper manipulation to save his crop. All authorities on the subject emphasize the fact that the only way to make bee keeping a profitable business Is to obtain naught but the flrstolass product—fancy comb honey or carefully prepared and neatly packed extracted honey. Under good management the average annual honey yield per colony will probably be 25 to 30 pounds of comb-honeyr or 40^ to 80 pounds of extracted honey. Such yields can be expected only, however, bees are kept In hives of up-towfth movable frames. Plain boxes When the date type, may be well enough to start with if the bee keeper Is not able to afford any investment for the superior apparatus, but all such make-shifts should be discarded at the earliest possible moment, for in such environment the bees will produce only a restricted amount of honey and that of inferior quality. The problems of American bee keepers have been considerably simplified of late years through the passage by various states of laws providing for the state or county inspection of apiaries for bee disease control. Another "side line" that has gained in favor in the rural districts almost as rapidly as bee keeping is found in the'raising of pigeons, doves, etc. The backbone of this industry Is found, of course, in the raising of squabs for the market that has developed of recent years in all our large cities, but there is also much money made in raising the fancy varieties of pigeons for disposal as pets. Indeed, the whole pet stock industry in all Its branches may be advantageously carried on as i^lde lines'* on farms. Shetland pony farms^have become a recog«isedMnstittrticar^n—vaTious parts of the country these past few years; rabbits and guinea pigs yield an Income to many a farmer boy, and there are dozens of farmers' wives who derive profit as well as pleasure from raising blooded cats, gold fish, canaries and other furred or feathered household companions. In woodland districts the makings of rustic furniture offers a profitable occupation for the men in the long winter days, and the women and children can employ their time to equal advantage in the production of pine pillows and those bark and grass novelties for which trere is always a good market at remunerative prices.

Then a place of meeting is appointed. ,The two men, the insulted and.insultfcdr the offender and offended, stand face to face, and each recites bis poem. His'friends and servants form a chorus; Each man tries to raise the laugh against his adversary.

CLOAKINGS FOR THE FALL Ratine Cloths Are Certain to Be Much Used by All the Fashionable Costumers. A great deal of interest is expressed in ratine cloths for fall.

In double faced materials we see such combinations as navy blue and dark red, two shades o* •iavana brown, sage green, and beige, dull blue and mode, navy and taupe, Bordeaux red and Oxford gray, olive green and khaki. The newest ratine cloths are lightweight and thin also. The first of these cloths brought out last year were much heavier, and were found to be clumsy, and, therefore, were not a great success. This season's offerings are much thinner, and are, therefore, expected to please. Diagonal and boucle weaves are both being shown Jn ratine novelties.

An Ideal Flock Header. •» The mating season for sheep is not far distant and the best selections of flock headers can be made early in the season. At this time one can ehoose-from among the best of the ram lambs and yearlings or two-yearolds. Offerings of makes will go quickly as soon as the Bhow season opens up and by the time the sheep is actually needed the market will be pretty well culled over. Procure a yearling or older ram if possible. Ram lambs should not be used unless exceeding CO-OPERATIVE CREAMERIES By W. B. UVERANCE, Instructor in Dairying, Michigan Agricultural College The old saying that "In union there is strength" is nowhere more applicable than in a farming community. bility. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the little country of Denmark, where the farmers unite in all matters and Becure advantages that the individual could not get. In out own country where farmers' organizations have been attempted, the results have been very satisfactory. At Lawton, Mich., the grape growers organized in a co-operative way to dispose of their product and were so successful that they have received far better prices than ever known before. Not only have good prices prevailed, but a greater stability and surety has been given to disposal of their fruit. The ideal creamery is the co-operative one. It is ideal because It returns all the profits from the manufaeture~ bf dairy products to the producer. The private creamery owner is receiving a good profit in the manufacture of the cream from farms. He gets his return* from the overrun that is made in the factory. This amounts to about one-fifth of the butter fat delivered and means about four or five cents for each pound of fat delivered. This, of course, does not mean a net profit, but after all expenses are deducted it means a good profitable return. Well operated co-operative creameries oftentimes pay their patrons two to three cents more per pound of fat than do the private creameries. This is because that profit that has been going into the pocket,of the Individual owner is now turned back to the farmer. \ A ^ better grade of butter can be manufactured at the co-operative creamery"than at the private plant. Creameries as ^ whole are making a much poorer gradeot^product than in former years, not becauseVthe maker is less proficient but because^of the poor quality of cream received fronv the farm. Where co-operation is established and each patron realizes that his returns depend upon the quality of butter manufactured at the creamery he can be taught the necessity, for better care of his cream. A private creamery because of sharp competition is forced to take cream of poor quality, but the cooperative creamery, with- each individual a part owner, can be much more critical of the products taken In and as a consequence better butter is made and the top market price received. Many cooperative creanerles have been absolute failures. This may have been the result of one or more of many causes. A promoting com* pany may have organized the company in a community where there was not enough cows kept to insure its success. Possibly It was not due Out of the Whaleback.

A good, thoroughly competent man should be engaged at a lib eral salary to look after the entire business of the creamery. With such a man its success is practically a» sured. A factor working very detrimen tally to^ the 'co-operative creamery is the lack of unity and co-operative spirit among farmers. This is a very serious condition, but is generally due to the lack, of a competent head and in a creamery organization of farmers if a strictly reliable manager is engaged-there is little trouble on this score. As previously mentioned the co operative creamery is the ideal condition. The leading dairymen in each community shouht-get—together to talk over the matter and secure the services of some one from their dairy school or the state dairy and food department to assist them in the organization. It will pay them not only in securing a sure market for their dairy product, but a market that will guarantee better returns. Fitting Aged Ewes for Market on the Farm By R. S. SHAW In maintaining a profitable flock of sheep careful selection must be practiced year after year, Some of the older ones must be eliminated and younger ones chosen to fill their places. As a general rule it is not desirable to keep ewes beyond their sixth year unless in the case of special individuals or flocks of strictly fine wooled types. The matter of age alone should not be the deciding factor in discarding the ewe, for her abilit yto raise a good lamb. The character and amount of fleece she produces and the condition of her teeth are factors to be considered as well. The profitable fitting and marketing of ewes too old to be useful further in and breeding flock is quite a problem, especially if her teeth are defective andshe is in-a thin condition because of having reared lambs during the past season. As a rule she cannot be fitted for market profitably on dry feed during the winter except with abnormal market conditions. ^ As soon as the old ewe's lambs, have been weaned she should be given ac< cess to succulent pasture such as second growth clover, a well established new seeding o- a patch of rape. To the forage thus secured may be added a liberal grain allowance of ground corn and oats In equal parts which would be improved some by the addition of a little bran or linseed meal If available. As soon as these conditions have fattened the ewe sufficiently for market then the best possible deal should be made with the drover or butcher before winter sets in. to an insufficient number of cows but' to the fact that the promoters followed their usual custom and charged an exorbitant price for the building and equipment There two factors have been .the greatest curse to cooperative creameries sad the community desiring a co-operative creamery should never elk nor accept the aid of a promoting company. Very often the failure of a co-operative creamery is due to mismanagement, the person selected to oversee the business affairs of the company being incompetent, due to lack of experience along creamery lines. The creamery manager should have had actual •xperlenoe In butter making Looking for New Potato Typos.

"Going to do just like dad," repeated the youngster—"catch the train every morning and when I get to the office light a big cigar and sit down at my desk and say there's so much work to do It's no uBe beginning till after lunch, and then go tmt. with another big man and eat and eat till I can't eat any more, and then go back to business and ask everybody else why the work ain't done, and then get so mad because^ nobody does anything that I'll go home early and be so tired I can't do a thing except read the paper and smoke taore big cigars and swear."— Pearson's.

Take Hall's Family Pill* tor Constipation, There was a rather curious bituation in BChool district No, 3 in the county of Greenfield. There were six widowers living there and all of them farmers, and three of the six were the school trustees. For several years men teachers had been employed and had given good satisfaction, but now they were to change to the other sex. Widower Thomas, the moderator, had suggested the change, and he hadn't looked the other two in the face as he did it. He had simply said that he thought a school ma'am would teach the scholars manners as well as geography. Mr. Williams had agreed, but had at the same time said to himself: "I understand his little game." And Mr. Burt had agreed with him, but at the same time had said to himself: "The cute old rascal! But I see through him as if he was made ,of glass. If anybody around here marries that schoolteacher it will be me!" The three other widowers heard of the plan, and each one said it was a good thing and each one had his whiskers trimmed and his hair dyed and j made ready for the struggle. A sem- j inary was written to and a teacher sent on. It was for Widower Thomas to drive across the country in a horse and buggy to the railroad and meet her and bring her on. —Widower Thomas had hopes, that the schoolma'am would be about twentytwo and good looking. The arriving teacher turned, out to be all he had hoped for. He felt so well acquainted with her before they had driven hall a mile that he began: "Now. Miss White, you are coming among strangers, and I want to post you about them.. There's old Jim Williams to begin with. He's one of the trustees and a widower with four children. "And there's Moses Burt. He's another widower. Claims to be fortyeight years old, but will never see sixty again. Looking around for a young wife and ought to be ashamed of himself. Great hand to laugh at his own Jokes, but if you laugh with him he'll sure think you are in love with him and pop the question." "Then I shall not laugh." "Then there's Joab Tyler. Mebbe he's only fifty next birthday, as he claims, but he's sopping on the hair dye to beat the band. Five children for a second wife to take care of." "That's dreadful!" "Then there is Henry Stevens," continued ,the moderator. "I can't say that Henry is over forty years old, and his wife only left three children, but you can judge what sort of a man he is when I tell you that he never shed a tear at the funeral. He never even sniffled. Seemed Just as unconcerned as if he was hoeing: taters. I wouldn't adrise no woman to marry a man iike that. "Then comes Levi Schemerhorn. He was to Chicago once, and he'll brag of It to you and try to make out that he is a hero. Don't you let on that you think he's anything great or you'll be a goner." "No, I won't," answered the girl, "but are there any more?" "Ahem! One more. Miss White. It's me. I'm a widower with a hundred acre farm and only one child. My tater crop alone last year brought me $500, Rising of forty is my age. and I can run down a calf. Got a melodeon In the house and, am .willinp to buy a red ingrain carpet and lace curtains for the parlor. I n c a s e I get married V shall go on a wedding trip to Niagara Falls nnd not mind the expense." "And are there no young men in the neighborhood?" asked Miss White. "Jest one, and he's a hired man who don't amount to shucks—eats with his*knifeand fork and says that Boston is In New Jersey. If I was you I wouldn't let him get the idea that you was a kindred spirit" "No, I won't" Miss White was left at the house of the Widow Harkness, which was to be her first boarding place. Supper was not yet finished when the widowers began to gather, and in the course of half an hour the whole six were there. Their excuses were various, but the fact was apparent that they had come to size the schoolma'am up. .Once there no One would go and leave the others behind to get some advantage. The clock had struck midnight when the widow turned them all out; in a bunch. There wasn't exactly a fight outside the gate, but the six told each other .what they thought of hair dye and old galoots. When they were gone the schoolma'am turned to ,the widow and'asked:' "Don't .any of those men want yon for a wife?'* " " »' V "Not if they can get you," was the doleful reply. Ten, minutes of confidential talk settled things. The Mhooibeuse was close by, and on Its door was tackfd the notice: "Thjapto.ee closed for repairs" At daylight ;n#xt morn In* the widow turn sand a%horae tocher democrat .wagon,,jand>ithin two, hours,.MI«s .Whlt-e^tSMJftPded, at thp spot" wnen^ the moderator had found her. When the eonfmnnity. learned that she had gone these six old widowers looked nt each other ond said: "Durn your buttons, bnt it was y^ur gab and yonr hair dye that driv her away, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself."

Have your oven moderate at first, until the cakei3 fully rizen; then increase the heat, so as to brown it over quickly. Extreme heat stiffens the dough. If you stiffen the outside of the cake before the rising is complete, you stop the rising process. Then the leavening gas, forming inside, will bulge up the center, where the dough is still soft, an$i spoil the shape of the-cake. 3 a NOTE—Biscuits or other pastries made from stiff dough, that are cut into shapes for the oven, bake in a hot oven. This is because the cut surfaces of the dough do not sear over, but rather leave t h e pores open, allowing t h e leavening gas to escape and the heat to penetrate readily. Small ovens cool quickly; therefore they should be made several degrees hotter than a larger oven, and the less the door i s opened the better. Do not attempt t o bake bread and pastry together. Bread requires prolonged, moderate b a k i n g - pastry the reverse. Rave a strong nnderheat for baking powder preparations, especially pastry. These are only a few of the many baking helps found in the K C Cook's Book—a copy of which may be secured by sending the colored certificate taken from a 25-cent can of K C Baking P o w der to the JAQTJBS M F G .

Osborn has announced tlie appointment of Judge Joseph H. Steere of Sault Ste. Marie to succeed the late Justice F. A. Hooker of the supreme court. Horace M. Oren, a leading attorney at the Soo has been named to succeed Judge Steere on the local bench. Judge Steere and Gov. Osborn have long been friends and neighbors. Judge Steere was born May 19, 1852, at Addison, Lenawee county, Michigan. His father, Isaac Steere, was a native of Ohio. His mother was Elizabeth (Comstock) Steere, a native of New York and of English descent. Judge Steere's early days were spent in Lenawee county on the farm, He attended the district school and the Raisin Valley seminary, a Quaker school, from which he was graduated in 1871. He then attended the Adrian high school. In 1872 he entered the literary department in the University of Michigan and was graduated in 1876 with A. B. He entered the law office of Geddes & Miller at Adrian, where he spent two years. He was admitted to the Lenawee county bar in 1878. In the spring of 1878 the judge removed to the Soo and began the practice of law.-Although he has occupied the bench of the circuit court for 30 consecutive years- and- was. -last spririg re-elected for a seventh term of six years, he was never but once opposed at the polls, and that the first time he ran. Judge Steere is a lover of fishing and hunting. He Is a student and has made an exhaustive study of his native- state and especially of the Lake Superior region, and is probably the best informed man on Michigan history In the state. His library is the finest to be found anywhere in private hands insofar as it relates to the history of the north country. Judge Steere has never married. Iosco Co. to Pay for Troops During Fire. Inasmuch aa the law passed at the last session of the legislature requiring that the state shall bear the expenses where troops are ordered into a county during such emergencies as strikes, rlresT epidemics, etc., did not go into effect until Aug. 2, a portion of the expense of maintaining the company of militia in Iosco county following the fires last month, will have to be borne by that county. Auditor General Fuller and the state military board are now checking the accounts in order to determine the amount that will be charged against Iosco county. Inasmuch as the legislature relieved Shiawassee county of the expense incurred during the time when the state troops were ordered there during the strike a year ago, it is thought that the amount against Iosco county will be carried on the state's books until the next session of the legislature, when a bill probably will be passed relieving the county of the expense incurred previous to the time when the new law took effect. r "Back to the Farm" Day. The National Association of State Immigration Officials, of which A. C.

It is proposed that a meeting be held at the capital of each of the 40 states represented in the association and funds raised with which to push a campaign of publicity to induce city residents to forsake the wiles and wilds of the city and enter upon a peaceful rural existence. Admiral Togo Leaves for Home. Homeward bound, Admiral Count Togo boarded the Japanese liner Tam» ba Maru at Seattle and started on the last leg of his tour arouno" the world.

The demonstration at the wharf was Insignificant compared with thfct given along the water front aa the Tamba Maru, with Admiral -Togo standing on the bridge beside her commander, moved slowly along through the harbor. The cruisers West Virginia and Colorado acted as escorts. In addition the Japanese organization had chartered boats to follow the Tamba Maru until she had passed out of the sound. Riverman Shoots Soo Rapids on Log. While over 5,000 persons looked breathlessly on James Pollock, a riverman, of Tower, Mich., successfully shot the St, Mary's river rapids, on a log. For his daring feat he received a purse of $35, made up by spectators. Seated in a canoe, with two Indian guides, Pollock was taken to the head of the rapids. Six minutes later, after being whirled about the thousands of gigantic boulders, often obscured from view, he emerged without a scratch at the lower end, and was picked up by a waiting launch. He was the first man to ever go over the rapids, a mile and a half long, of his own accord, unless seated in a boat. Before he started expert Indian guides, who have shot the rapids for years, declared Pollock's feat deliberate suicide. "It was soft money for me," he saidj afterward.

T O T A L FOR STATE IS ANNOUNC ED A 3 $2,290,000,000. Houghton County Reduced and Most of the Iron Ore Counties Are Advanced by Large Amounts. Apparently the poverty pleas of the various counties whose representatives appeared before the state board of equalization last week had little effect on that body, as the equalized value of the whole state has been tilted from $1,734,100,000 to $2,290,- 000,000, an increase of $555,900,000 since the last meeting of the board In 1906. However, this increase is $673,553,- 822 less than the value placed on the state by the tax commission in its report filed with the board last weNek. It was the contention of practically every representative that the boar^ of equalization should not follow the dictates of the tax commission in this regard, as it was the unanimous opinion of every one interested in taxation matters that the tax commission had gone slightly beyond the limit. That the board of equalization reduced the values ~&s placed "by the tax commission is no surprise to those who have followed closely the proceedings of the last two weeks. The Figures in Detail.

"I have been a perfecifbrute/^e^" knowledge frankly, "with no thought except for myself. Hunger was my master, and I ask your forgiveness, Miss MaclaJre." j Her eyes smiled. I "1 am ao very glad to have any one here—any one—In whom I feel even « little confidence—that nothing else jgreaily matters. Can you both eat, and listen?" j Keith nodded, his eyes full of Interest, searching her face. ! "Whoever I may be, Mr. Keith, and really that seems only of small importance, I came to Fort Larned seekjtag some trace of my only brother, rwhoxn we last heard from there, where pie had fallen Into evil companionship. On the stage trip I was fortunate ienough to form an acquaintance with-j-|~ * man who told me he knew where I jcpuld meet Fred, but that the boy was (hiding because of some trouble he bad lately gotten Into, and that 1 iahould have to proceed very carefully iao as not to lead the officers to discover his whereabouts. This gentlejmaa was engaged in some business at parson City, but he employed a man bring me to this place, and promto gat Fred, and meet me here the flowing day. There must have been failure in the plans, for I have here entirely alone now-for-three- It has been very lonesome, and d I've been a little frightened. erhapa I ought not to have come, and 3 am not certain what kind of a place jthla is. I was so afraid when you leaxne, bnt I am not afraid now." U"You have no need to be." he said berly, Impressed by the Innocent jeandor of the girl, and feeling thankttol that he was present to aid her.' "I old not wrong one of the South." 'My father always told me I could t a Southern gentleman under any rcumstances. Mr. Hawley was from y own State, and knew many of our j d friends. That was why I felt such usual confidence In him, although was but a. traveling acquaintance." *Hr. Hawley?" "The gentleman whom I met on the •Jaw." ' "On, yes; 'you said he was in business in Carson City, but I don't seem tcrremember'any one of that name." >"B*waa not- ihere permanently; f only* to complete some business deal." "And your brother? I may possibly hare known him." She hesitated an instant, her eyes dropping, until completely shaded by the long lashes. "He—he waa rather a wild boy, and fan away from home to enlist in the army. But he got into a bad set, and d deserted. That waa part of the which caused him to hide.

Surely something serious must have happen* ed, or he would have been here before this. Do you—do you suppose there is anything wrong?" Keith did not smile' nor change posture. The more he delved into the matter, the more serious he felt the situation to be. He knew all those ranches lying south on the Canadian, and was aware that this was no outatation. JJo cattle ever came across that sandy desert unless driven by rustlers, and no honest purpose could account for this isolated hut. There had been frequent robberies along the trail, and he had overheard tales of mysterious disappearances In both ,Larned and Carson City. Could It be that he had now, accidentally, stumbled upon the rendezvous of the gang? He was not a man easily startled, but this thought sent his heart beating. He knew jsnough to realize what_such, a gang would naturally consist of— deserters, outlaws, rustlers; both Indians and whites, no doubt, combined under some desperate leadership. Gazing into the girl's questioning eyes he could scarcely refrain from blurting out all he suspected. Yet why should he? What good could It do? He could not hope to bear her south to the "Bar X" Rancl<, for the ponies were already too thoroughly exhausted for such a Journey; he dared not turn north with her, for that would "He sho' am, Missus; dar ain't nuth- In' higher in ol' Virginia dan de Keiths. < Dey ain't got much money sence the Yankees come down dar, but dey's quality folks jest de same.

He done fought all through de wah, an' dey say Ginral Lee done shook hands wld him, an' said how proud he was ter know him. You kin sutt'nly tie to Massa Jack, Missus." The negro's voice had scarcely ceased when Keith came in again, closing the door securely behind him. "All quiet outside," he announced, speaking with new confidence. "I wanted to get an understanding of the surroundings in case of emergency," he explained, as if In answer to the questioning of the brown eyes gravely uplifted to his face. "I see there is quite a corral at the lower end of this island, safely hidden behind the frlage of cottonwoods. And a log stable back of the house. Is the creek fordable both ways?" "I think so; the man who brought rue here rode away south." "And are you going to trust yourself to my care?" She came around the table with hands extended. He took them into He Flung Beth Coat and Hat Down With the Intention of Remaining. mean his own arrest, leaving her In worse condition than ever. If he only, knew who this man Hawley waa, u s purpose, and plane! Yet .what pro* tectlon could he and Neb prove, alone here, and without arms? All this flashed through his mind In an instant, leaving him confused and uncertain. "I hope not," he managed to say in answer tocher query. "But it la rather a strange mix-up all around, and I confess I fall to comprehend Its full meaning. It la hardly likely your friends will show up to-night, and by morning perhaps we can decide what la heat to da Let me look-} around outside a moment ' J Her eyes followed him aa he stepped through the door into the darkness; then her head dropped into the sup* port of her hands. There waa alienee except for the crackling of the fire, until Neb moved uneasily. At the sound the girl looked, up, seeing clearly the good-natured face of the negro. "Yor don't nebber need cry, Missus " he said soberly, "so* long aa Masaa Jack done 'greed to look after yo'." "Have—have you known him longf' "Has I knowed hica long, honey? Ebber sence 0010* de wah.

'Tea," she said softly, "I am going to trust you, Captain Keith."' He laughed. "Captain, hey? You must have been talking with that black rascal there," The swift color flooded her face, but her hands remained imprisoned. "I juat done tol*, her who de Keiths was down In ol* Virginia, sah," burst in Neb indignantly. "I sho' donrt want nobody to think 1 go trapsin' •round wld any low'white trash." The gray eyea and the brown, gaging into one another, smiled with understanding. "Oh, well," Keith acknowledged, genially, "I cannot say I am sorry you know something of my past glories; if one can't have a future, it Is some source of prido to have a past to remember. But now about the present We're not much protection to any one, the way we're fixed, aa we are unarmed."

Iant ft strange you should be out In this country without armaT "We left Parson- w eomathlng of a rfl ten yen the atory* CHAPTER X. Mr. Hawley Reveals Himself. A fragment of candle, stuck tightly into the neck of an empty bottle, appeared on a low shelf, and Keith lighted it, the girl returning the lamp to its former position on the front room table. Investigation revealed a dozen cartridges fitting the revolver, but no ammunition was discovered adapted to the sawed-off gun, which Neb had already appropriated, and was dragging about with him, peering into each black corner In anxious search. The two were still busily employed at this, when to their ears, through the stillness of the night, there came the unexpected noise of splashing in the water without, and then the sound of a horse stumbling as he struck the bank. Quick as a flash Keith closed the intervening door, extinguished the dim flame of the candle, and grasping the startled negro's arm, hushed hlm__| into silence. Crouching close behind the door, through a crack of which the light streamed, yielding slight view of the interior, the plainsman anxiously awaited developments. These arrivals muBt certainly be some of those connected with the house; there could be little doubt as to that. Nevertheless, they might prove the posse following them, who had chanced to stumble accidentally on their retreat In either case they could merely wait, and learn. Some one swore without, and was sharply rebuked by another voice, which added an order gruffly. Then the outer latch clicked, and a single man stepped within, Immediately closing the door. Keith could not see the girl through the small aperture, but he heard her quick exclamation. "Oh, Is it you? I am so glad!" The man laughed lightly. "It is nice to be welcomed, although, perhaps, after your time of loneliness any arrival would prove a relief. Did you think I was never coming, Christie?" "I could not understand." she replied, evidently with much less enthusiasm, and to Keith's thinking, a shade resentful of the familiarity, "but -|-&attiraily supposed you must be unexpectedly delayed." "Well, I was," and he "apparently flung both coat and hat on a bench, with the intention of remaining.- "The marshal arrested a fellow for a murder committed out on the Santa Fe Trail, and required me as a witness. But the man got away before we had any chance to try him, and I have been on his trail ever since." (TO BE CONTINUED.) UNCLE CAL GOOD REASONER Fired Question at Camp Fire Astronomer That Probably Was Hard to Answer. "The late George Cary Eggleston was in the Confederate army," said a New York editor, "and, as Memorial day approached, he would narrate at the Authors' club many a memory of war times. "I Hired to hear his yarns about the child-like minds of slaves. He once told me, for example, about a grizzled slave named Uncle Cal, body servant to his colonel. "Aa Eggleston sat before a camp fire one coollsh autumn evening, watching Uncle Cal mend the colonel's coat, the crimson and gold glory of the autumn sunset turned the talk to astronomy, and Eggleston said: * 'You see, Uncle Cal, the world is round, like an apple, and it goea round, too—round and round it goea all the time.' " 'Hit's round an' hit goes round,' said Uncle Cal, skeptically. 'But what I want to know la, what holds it up?' "'Why, you aee, Uncle Cal,' aald Eggleston, the world goea round the sun, and the sun holds it up—by at* traction, you know.' "Uncle C$1 glanced from his coat mending to Eggleston with a patron* izing smile. " 'Honey/ he said, 'Ah reckon yo' hain't gone far 'nough in you' reason- In*.

He had a debt of honor, amount* Inp; to £200. He wrote to a distant relative, one La Morandais, who manufactured stockings in Switzerland, appealing tor help on the ground that he must either pay that debt or blow his brains oat La Morandais, Instead of sending him money, send him 1 » pairs of stockings, offering him a liberal commission if he would sell tfaem snong his distinguished friends.

He was the man who discovered that 'lady' rhymed with 'baby.'" "About two months ago my hands started to crack open and bleed, the skin would scale off, and the good flesh would burn and itch dreadfully. When my hands first started to get sore, there were small blisters like water blisters which formed. They itched dreadfully. It just seemed as though I could tear the skin all off. I would scratch them and the skin would peel off, and the flesh would be all red and crack open and bleed. It worried me very much, as I had never -had anything the matter with my skin. I was so afraid I would have to give up my employment. "My doctor said he didn't think it would amount to anything. But it kept getting worse. One day I saw a-piece in one of the papers about a lady who had the same trouble with her hands. She had used Cuticura Soap and Ointment and was cured. I decided to try them, and my hands were all healed before I had used one cake of Cuticura Ointment. I am truly thankful for the good results from the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them I was cuafcd, and did not have to lose a day from work. I have had no return of the skin trouble."

The Holsteln breed of dairy cattle, so far as the production of > milk is concerned. Is without a rival in quantity, but the milk does not average as high in butter fat. although there are some exceptions, says the American Agriculturist The milk la excellent lor cheese or buttermaklng and is considered especially valuable for sale as milk in cities. It develops young animals rapidly, being rich In the constituents that go to form bone and muscle and develops tissue. Holstelns are especially adapted to farm and dairy conditions in the middle west They have large, fleshy frames and do particularly well on the level prairies of the middle west. They thrive on grain and forage crops under those conditions. They take care of themselves and do not require pampering and for this reason are well suited to commercial purposes. While other breeds do just as well for butter production, the Holstelns, because of the large quantity of milk produced, have captured many records 'for total amount of butter fat. but In addition to the butter fat the large quantities of sklmmilk can be turned to excellent account. Holstein steers, while not as satisfactory for beef as some of the strictly meat beef breeds, fatten quite readily and furnish a very high grade of beef. They can therefore be utilized to much better advantage tbau the steers of In sections where mux is produced for city trade the Holitein cow comes pretty near being the leader. She glvea a large quantity of moderately rich milk. She la healthy, rugged, vigorous and capable of utilizing large quantities of feed. The breed Is a very old one. No one—knows just where It originated. Of course the breed was developed to its perfection in northern Holland, and for hundreds of years Holland has been famed for Its dairy products. , .

There are some principles in feeding horses that should be understood. The horse's stomach is small, and he should not be required to (ret his nutriment from such coarse roughage as straw when at work. Tbere Is no better feed for the working horse than ground oats and corn varied with whole grain sometimes and a bran mash occasionally. The grain ration should be adapt* ed to the roughage, feeding more oa|t. ollmeal and bran with timothy' b'ay^ and more corn with clover and alfalfa. A heavy team doing mard work with fimothy hay for roughage should bare twelve to fifteen pounds of grain per day in three feeds and perhaps ten pounds of bay at each feed fed with the gmn and possibly a little more hay at night. Pasturing Sheep. Sbeep eat a little more than ateen In comparison with their weight. Ten 100 pound sheep require about as ranch pasture as a 1,280 pound steer. It Is not necessary to count on the last* requiring much pasture at (tat bat toward the end ot the summer a spring lazap eats about as much grass as an old ewe. - •MSM^ ! • • V E ~--^^B "* A,r I ' w sa "" **%m B - ' - \ ,« , f ,7 j BsL ' ^ • ' ' l l r: '•'•'! *;?;r;"'^K •' -. i • * - Job Printing Department is Always Prepared to do All Kinds of P R I N T I N G i . >• With Neatness and Dispatch, with prices that can not be equalled for first class quality workmanship and material.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, September 14, 1911 No. 37 i & Broadway Tailoring Brought Into . Every Town . Yon may may live a thousand miles from the debonair splendor of Broadway or Michigan Boulevard. Yet right in thiB very store, right in your own shopping district—there's a Boyal Tailoring Department, waiting to link to your wardrobe the needlework and craftsmanship of a master New York or Chicago tailor. Here, in this store, the cream of the richest and rarest Fall woolens to be found in the most exclusive bigcity tailor shops are on display—ready for your delectation and choice. Here you can select a design of suit or overcoat, to be built to your individual body requirements and body dictates, that would be authentic and complementing in any gathering of well dressed men. Because this service is 5,000 stores instead of one—because if> cost is shared by a nation of buyers instead of ji single tailor's small community—it gives to you the bestTn tailoring at often HALF^tbe small tailor's prices; and NO MORE, at any time, than the price of "taken-off-theshelf' store clothes. But more than this—Royal Service is a Service JOL certainties. It makes satisfaction in clothes-buying a surety to you—not a hazard. The Royal Tailors i . #5- •. ' * Represented By IW. W.

Being shown the article and informed that the price was $1.15, he said: ,4Why, I can get that same kind 01 an ax from a mail order house for ninety cents," "Very well," said the hardware man; " I will yive it to you for the same price, providing you will do the same with me as you will do with it.', "All right," replied the customer, as he handed over a dollar bill, the merchant giving him back ten cents in change. "Now," said the hardware man, "I want 25 cents more to -pax express charges," ^which the purchaser gave him. How much didryour ax cost you?" "One dollar and fifteen cents," the man answered. "Very good. Now give mo 5 cents more for a money order foes and postage," which the purchaser had to hand over. "Now how much did your ax oost you?" "One dollar and twenty cents," said the customer. "Not so cheap after all," said the merchant, whereupon he picked up 'the ax, tossed it back on the shelf, and told the customer to call for it in ten days as that would be as soon as he could get it if he had ordered it from the mail order house. i r FALL T I M E 1 3 FLY TIME Now it the time to buy that gallon of Zenoleum Fly Skoot and protect your horses and cows from the flies SFRAYBR FRBB WITH EACH GALLON Pinckney Opera House The engagement of "Tempest and Sunshine" n dramatization of Mary J.

It is now an established fact that "Tempest and Sunshine" is the most successful production ever launched.

It is vivid and truthful in its pro* trayal and cannot fail to enlist the interest of-all who see it. The scenery is beautitul, everything used in the representation being carried by the company. The costuming^ is quaint and pretty, made in the fashion of 1850 which is the period of the play. The story is strong and interesting dealing principally with the southern aristocracy an is releived with much comedy. Southern melodies are introduced tnroughout the play.

The Tribe consists of eight surviving members, four boys and four girls, viz: Amory C, Ben H., Frank D , Charles 0., Seraph'L.t Lois L , Phoebe A., and Ella S. They were-alt born—under the same parental roof in the township of South DansVilie, Steuben county, state of York. They have all grown to manhood and womanhood, and all have become a father and mother except one. Their combined ages number 484 years, an average of 60¾ years. Their combined weight is 1408 pounds an average of 176 pounds. Amory C. lives at Canisteo, N. Y., Chas.

Z JP£ &• ILLNMET MONG the garnest of salt water fish and the one that affords great sport to the angler Is the blackflsh of eastern waters. There are those who claim that salt water fishing lacks one of the essentials of true sport, there being no casting or other fine rod work to be done. They maintain, and not unjustly, that as much skill Is needed to lure some of the fresh water varieties to the bait as to land them after a strike, and that one misses the keen battle of wit against Instinct and natural warirjess. / j i of which, while true, doeB not alter the fact that surroundings play an all-important part In the full enjoyment of a day's outing with rod and reel, a thing even the IAHDIHG A &IQ OMt most enthusiastic angler would soon come to realize were it posgible to catch the highly prized varieties from_Jhe_jmpictuxfisfluo docks -along the water fronts of our cities. There is inborn within all of us a keen love of the beautiful in nature and in the appeal made to it by the country into which we are taken lies much of the fascination of angling. We are stirred by the swish of the wind through the swaying trees, the murmur of thes* brook, the silence of the deep pool among the rocks, the placid lake, the fragrance and mystery of the wild woods. And is not the sea every bit as fascinating? Indeed, once experienced, one never again escapes the subtle spell it weaves about one with its saltladen breezes, its wonderful skies, the great body of water sparkling in the sunshine, the silvery beaches, rocky ledges and luxuriant green shores. The blackflsh inhabits localities that show the sea at its best and he is so game and crafty a fighter as to leave nothing to wish for on this score. It is not for nothing that he has won for himself the name of "bulldog of the Bea." His large, powerful jaw Is of iron, and he will dispute eyery inch of Une, resorting to all mann e r of clever tricks in order to free :liimself. He is never caught until you have him safely in the boat and the t skiralsh4>etween^urwttr^ncelyend In bis getting away with the best part at *our Jtacklfi _unleaa your band is . skMed and your attention unwavering. \ The blackflsh u to be found along the shores of New York, Connecticut,' Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Old fishermen claim that bis appearance mortb of Rhode Island is comparative- B|v of recent date. In days gone by, when the Indians roamed the territory at will, he had place among their choicest table delicacies and we are told that the Mohegans, who called him "tautog," held him in high esteem as a spring and fall food. The name of blackflsh, evidently due to the fish's color, is not a particularly fortunate one. Though the black is of a dark gray and mottled, the sides are dJecMerfly lighter and the under part almost white. The blackflsh inhabits the vicinity of rocky ledges, reefs and rough bott o m l a n d shows a, decided preference far places where the tide runs swiftly. Here he will lie in ambush behind some sheltering rock and" await the passage of shrimp and small crabs carried down by the tide. When he spies his prey he darts out with lightning rapidity, pounces upon it and darts back to cover. This predilection for tidal flues hag won Mm the name of "tide runner" in certain facilities. He is also found inside the „ « « J « K hook into the protruding neck of the sandy bays along the. southern shore* c l A I D of Long Island and on the ocean banks i twisting it around until it is off Sandy Hook. In fact, the largest speci-mens are to be caught in these localities, and this, added to a Blight • *r tween the rock and the sand catches, has led; to the belief that there are two distinct varieties of blackflsh, which U not the case. Only one exists. ", •:.•'•:.' Wondrous tales are told tn the eastern fish market regarding the size of some of the blackflsh brought in from the banks and there are those who wilt swear to having seen BO pounders weighed. Like the majority of extraordinary flea stories they cannot be credited. No specimen tipping the scale even at 20 pounds Is authentically on record, and ten pounders arei Considered a wonderful rsr- - i t y ^ Men who fish constantly claim thai tim, season's average /show* a prejendiaJBftce of two and three pounder*, with a few five, six or even •even pocnders to boast of.

Sailboats are rather dangerous in this respect and it is no rare occurrence to see one hung up high and dry by the falling tide. Rowboats are very convenient for near-shore fishing, but rather risky. Squalls arc- likely to come up at any moment and make matters more than ' interesting for the fishers. The blackflsh is said never to desert his home waters and it is a fact that he never visits the rivers like do the salmon and the sturgeon to lay his spawn. At the advent of the cold weather he becomes torpid and goes into hibernation, not emerging again into life until spring. April makes the return of his appetite and fishermen time the period of his reappearance with the flowering of the dogwood. Prom then until November he can be caught, though there ia a time in mid-summer, during the excessive heat, when he will only_be_Jtempled.hy the daintiest of delicacies. By September he is feeding voraciously: again, however, so the slack season only lasts a few weeks. The bait commonly used for blackflsh is the soft-shell clam and the fiddler crab. Knowing anglers swear variously by shrimp, hermit crab, sandworm, hard clam and the tail-end of a chicken lobster as, irresistible morsels when the fish are not biting well, but, &B a rule, there is no necessity for special bait. The securing of a soft-shell clam on the hook is a task that requires consummate skill. Wherever lives the blackflsh is to be fpund also in great abundance the small fish called the bergalt or cunner, and the bergalt has a particular fondness for claras afad fiendish cleverness in separating them from a hook. While he is about it you feel a few gentle nibbles and then motion ceases. You pay no attention, of course, but alter waiting vatnly for trhite you decide to inspect the bait and find to your surprise that it is gone. The hook is picked as clean as a whistle, A motionless line, free from nibbles has come to indicate a baitless hook to the seeker of the blackflsh. The most effective way of cheeking the predatory instinct of the bergalt is to bait with the entire clam, shell and all. This is done by inserting the firmly imbedded into the hard muscle of the bivalve and then cracking the shell lightly. Prepared this way the clam is easily taken into the £ i « > * ? t b , e w d l , r ? 6 ; c * ot CQ,0f ^ big mtmth of the blackflsh, but pre- ^¾¾^¾ Z * f t * « » 4nd sailboat* a r e ^ s o ejflralong the coast skiffs ccaarrrryj out laaaty fishermen. On Saturdays and senta an. armored surface to the begalt which he attempts vainly to break through. The vast majority of blackflsh anglers being fishermen rather than sportsmen, and counting* 4he day's enjoyment only from the standpoint of the catch, scruple not to minimize as much as possible the fish's chances of escape. They use heavy hand lines provided with two or three good hooks, and when a fish strikes it becomes merely a matter of hauling it in, hand over hand. There are others, though, who have the right sporting blood and believe in equalising matters so that skill will have to be brought into play. They use light rather than stiff poles, preferably of split bamboo, and bass lines. The blackflsh, being a bottom fish, i f is necessary to anchor the line. This is done4$ s e w i n g a small sinker to the end. Above It are spliced two leaders a foot or »0 apart, each bearing a hook, the alas of which depends on the individual's, idea; of what is proper. These ideas evidently vary greatly, for a wide rahge is seen. To greedily on clams, only to reverse & few hours later. It has therefore been found wisdom to offer them both baits at once. Landing a blackflsh with rod and reel is an interesting and exciting pastime. His dash for the bait is so sudden and his retreat so swift that one is often taken unawares. There are no warning nibbles, no quiet swimming off with the line. It is a case of grab and run for cover. Therefore must one be ever alert and stop him as soon as he bites. Luckily, there is no fear of his spitting out the bait; he seizes boldly and generally hooks himself fast. The danger lies in another direction—in his great strength and wonderful cunning. He has you both ways. If you stop him too suddenly he will throw all his weight on the line and snap it off before you know it; if you try to play him loosely he will dart behind some rock, snarl the line, and it will either snap or saw off when you try to free it. One must know one's business thoroughly to be successful and also be constantly on the qui vlve. And even then accidents will occur. The wise flsberman always has extra tackle with him. It is generally conceded that blackfish bite best on the rising tide and one cannot deny that exceptions prove the rule, but in more than one instance the- writer has -hauled in goodstrings on the ebb tide, and the largest catch he ever witnessed— in number, not in size—was made during the first three hours of a falling tide. Weather conditions are said to influence the biting of blackflsh. A wellknown writer on game fish gives it as his opinion that ideal conditions are clouded skies and sufficient breeze to Just ruffle the water without stirring it. The writer's experience and that of several of his angler friends has been that weather makes very little difference. A common belief, in no way substantiated, is that blackflsh have a keen sense of hearing. Novices are always cautioned to make as little noise as possible. It is also said that thunder so frightens the blaek&sh that they will cease from bitrqg at _the first peal; and to this is added the_ legend that after sharp crashes of lightning a number are to be found floating around on the surface dying or dead. Not the least good point ot the blackflsh is his toothsomeness. Fresh caught and cooked on the embers, he offers a morsel fit for the gods. The flesh is firm, savory and possessed of a delicious flavor. But, to the writer, the greatest charm In blackfishlng lies in the beautiful nooks and enchanting little islands about his haunts where one can go ashore either for a few hours or, if the spirit moves, for several days of camping. Nothing is more delightful than to idle away the time in such pleasant surroundings, fishing, bathing and boating. And the catch will not be wasted* for the blackflsh is strong and hardy and will suffer no ill effects from being confined alive to a tank or small pool for a few days. w 4 l the writer a it h*»«*e*«d to beat fill requirement!. The double leader has been universally adopted owing to the changeable moods of the blackflsh.

By H. H. MUSSELMAN, Instructor in Farm Engiaeiruf, Michifta Agricaitural Colitis A Telephone Bluff. At 101st street and Broadway a man was talking into a telephone, says the New York Times. Presently he was heard to say: "All right, I'll come. I am now at 23rd street and Broadway. Ill be up in about half an hour." "That chap seems to have lost his bearings," said a man who had overheard the error in locality. "He knows where he is, all right," said a drug clerk. "He's just putting up a bluff. It is quite a common bluff. Men who have a mighty regard for truth at all other times do not hesitate to tell a whopper over the telephone.

They were not seasoned Uars, either; Just wanted a few minutes' grace, apparently, and thought the easiest way to get It was to make out they were a mile or two further away than they really were.- . . . The history of agricultural machinery has been one of extremely rapid development within comparatively recent years. The trend of development has been toward the application of power to hand processes. The history of manufacturing shows the same course. We are told that the extended use of power has made the work of the world less arduous and shortened the hours of labor. Man's progress depends largely upon his capacity to do work, which is the result of the expenditure of energy. The use of power has* multiplied his capacity a hundredfold. The man with the hoe, dull and uncomprehending, is passing, and in his stead we find the man with wits keen to direct and hands skilled to control the energy which doubles his own a score, whether it be the four-horse team, the steam engine, or the gasoline tractor. Through the agency of well adapted agricultural machines he has been able to direct this energy into useful work, the effectiveness and nicety of which the unaided hand of man could never equal. This year at Winnipeg, Canada, Was held~a competition of motor trac-~ tors, steam, gasoline and kerosene. Here were met thirty-one outfits from half as many companies. For three weeks these machines were subjected to the severest testa on the brake and in the field under actual working conditions. Virgin prairie sod, the toughest task the plowman has ever encountered, was severed and upturned with a rapidity and ease amazing to the layman. What was the purpose of it all? Primarily to determine the adaptibility of the various types of machines to the work for which they are intended, but in a larger sense to develop and perfect a machine which means the making of the northwest. We are accustomed to the use of power on the farm in Michigan. The principal sources are the windmill, the gasoline engine, the steam engine, and the horse. The field has been divided and to the lighter duties have been assigned the windmill and the gasoline engine. The Bteam engine handles the heavier duties to which it is adapted, but to man's most faithful friend, the horse, falls the greater share. The steam engine has never been seriously considered as a field machine in Michigan on account of its weight and unwleldiuesa on the comparatively smalt fields and farms. There is being brought forth today, "however; the right- Internal combuation tractor intended for general purpose work upon the farm. It has not CONTROL OF SQUASH BUGS By R. H. PETTTT, Entomologist, Michigan Agricultural College »e»e»eeeeMeee«seeae+aeeefr« Everyone knows the large black stink-bug or squash-bug of the garden and field. All of us have tried to kill it by sprays, dust baths and what not, but still the stink-bug flourishes. There seems to be no wash or powder that will kill the bug without at the same time killing the plants. * The eggs of these marauders are red in color, and quite large; they are laid in patches on the leaves, for the most part, on the under side. The young bugs that come from these eggs resemble the adults very much except in their proportions and in size, although of course they lack the wings. Not only do the bugs attack the vines, piercing them with their as yet proven its worthy but many are looking forward to its advent with the keenest interest. Can such a machine find a field of usefulness, and if so what would be the basis of its adoption? Suppose we give the matter of the amount of power furnished some consideration and in so doing leave out all other factors. We will compare roughly the power furnished by the tractor with that furnished by the horse. At present the unit of power Is the horse. This unit may he combined, into the two, three and even the four-horle Team. The latter is about the limit of power tliat one man can handle advantageously. The average horse is able to develop nearly a unit horsepower when used continuously. One horsepower here is intended to mean the unit used in measuring work. A man then driving a fourhorse team would be able to control the energy equal to four-horsepower. If he were using a twenty horsepower tractor which should develop, roughly speaking, about fifty per cent, of the total horsepower at the draw bar, he should then have from 6-10 horsepower available for effective work with- -the—engine working - a t -some* where near its full load. All other things being equal, the balance would be in favor of the tractor since it would enable one man to control a greater amount of power. Aside from the question of power furnished there is a question of adaptability which the manufacturer is assiduously working out. An example of what we mean by adaptibility may be shown by the following: A fourrhorse team may be divided and each horse or unit used complete in itself, this adapting it to smaller yet Important details of work. In the tractor this would manifestly be impossible, but on the other hand the tractor through its construction and efficiency would be found especially valuable for belt work where horses can be used to very little advantage. There are many questions of design such as types of engines, gears, clutches, height, height and width of drivers, kind of lugs for effective traction, weight, etc., which time and experience together must determine. If, however, we can add to the size and adaptibility of the now commonly understood and used gasoline or kerosene engine, obtain fuel at a reasonable cost, and shift a proportionately larger share of the work upon thiB unfeeling machine, then it will surely And favor.

" \ WEE;D CONTROL IN AUTUMN By R.S.SHAW Seeding* of clover and grass seed mixtures for hay and pasturage are quite universally made along with winter wheat, rye, barley or oats. While .ifcese crops are growing the weeds are kept in subjection, but after harvest their competition in growth with the clover and timothy begins promptly and vigorously. The number; and varieties , of weeds will depend somewitot on the locality and care exercised In operating the farm. Canada thistles, ragweed, pigweed, foxtail, etc., are among the commonest kinds found. It is not uncommon for ragweed and foxtail to overtop the new seeding and mature their seeds perfectly. Most of these weeds can be prevented from seeding by clipping, with the cutter bar of the mower tilted up so as not to Injure the new clover seeding. If the growth It heavy it may be permitted to cure and then raked up and stored for win* ter forage for sheep, otherwise destroyed. This work can usually be done during August or September at times when farm work is not pressing. Of the weeds which seed In this way at this time, the ragweed is probably most persistent and pernicious. The practice -Just advocated ia pursued on the Michigan Agricultural College farm in case die seedlngs are not pastured by sheep.

But the pyrotechnic display, including the grand realistic spectacular production, "Pioneer Days and Chief Pontiac's Attack on Fort Detroit," will be the piece de resistance of the night entertainment. This realistic spectacular production 4s...fejer. ing especially designed for the Michture of the many program offerings, and the management decided that by presenting "Pontiac and the Siege of Fort Detroit"—easily the most appealing of all the spectacular shows —they could please the exposition crowds and at the same time present a stirring historical incident of Detroit's early days when, on May 7, 1763, Pontiac, the Ottawa chief, with a band of Indians, passed through the gate of the old Fort Detroit stockade, erected when the city was founded in 1701, intending to surprise and massacre the garrison; but the exposure of his plot on the previous day by Catherine, the Ojibwa girl, caused the defeat of his plans and he retired to his wigwam to hatch over a new scheme of revenge. Will Be Historically Correct. ,.,..,. The Due Fireworks Company's production of this incident of Chief Ponigan State Fair by the A. L. Due Fireworks- Company and WTTnanrffeatu Beck & Sons Company, 'oTvCincinnati, at a cost of $10,000. Th> scenery and costumes—are all new and both companies guarantee to the State Fair management that every requirement will be fully met. To entertain the multitude* who v, ill come to the State Fair and in keeping with the carnival spirit, the officials have worked the whole year ahi planned this night spectacular fete of great local historical interest that of "Chief Pontiac's Conspiracy," as given by the Due Company and pronounced by them as the most brilliant spectacle of the kind ever given anywhere. Of the many fireworks pageants submitted; the general theme of Pontiac's attack on the old Detroit stockade was conceived as the big featiac's treachery, with_all the stirring res—the "wiIderness, with the lonely, unpainted cabins in the clearings— the old Fort Detroit stockade— Major Gladwyn, a daring man among the Indians—the red-coated troops in the barracks—Catherine, the Ojibwa girl, reputed to have been the belle of the tribe, who unfolded the plot to the whites—the marauding bands of Indians—Chief Pontiac, who held his savage followers under his will— all this presented in pantomime with new scenery and gaudy trappings, is spectacular In the extreme, "and the show at night in the open field portrays in action the white settlers and the nomadic life and ways of the Indians in the Michigan wilderness, and a stirring episode of the career of a famous Indian chief, who figured in the early history of Detroit and lower Michigan. 1 Young Lady in New York Adopts Men's Attire. Stenographer Who Believes in Being Comfortable When at Work In Her Office—Her Ideas of Present Fsshions, New York.—The newest slogan of reform in women's dress is; "Trou* sera for the business woman!" if ever men and women are to be equal a radical reconstruction In Woman's dress must take place, say theN emancipatresses of the sex. The reform has already begun and a brave i)xtle stenographer in a downtown New York office is the first champion of the cause. She has introduced trousers and shirtwaist as costume for her working hours. While she is enthusiastic to a degree, her courage fails her when it comes to going to and from work In man's attire. For this purpose she hac a dress which she slips on. > This young woman Is not of the type that has worn trousers as a matter of principle or convenience before. She is dark, dashing, buoyant and vigorous, and the picture of her herewith establishes her undeniable claim to good looks. Hitherto the women who have worn men's attire have lacked both youth and good looks. Some, like Dr. Mary Walker, had the courage of their convictions and dressed like__ra_en, because they found men's clotheB much more comfortable than their own. Others have put on coat and trousers in order the better to earn their living and have wept when they were discovered and had to resume the conventional apparel of their sex. But this girl stenographer is the roungest and prettiest of the women who have entertained advanced IdeaB of dress reform and have dared to carry them out. She by no means wishes to attract attention or who is adopting trousers Dust and Tuberculosis. As a reiult of the dangers from con* sumption to those exposed to variotn forms of dust, and at the request of the National Anoclstlon for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the United Btates government has recently appointed a commission to work In co-Operation with state authorities in msklng an Investigation Into the conditions of the metal mining Industries In the United States, with special reference to diseases of the lungs. The work of the commission engaged in this special task will follow lines somewhat similar to those worked out by the Royal Commission of Australia, whose report was recently received In this country.

In the Offices and on the Grounds There is no Let Up in Preparations. Entries are pouring into the State Pfcir office at the rate of one every two minutes with no prospect of a let up before the gong rings to start the show on the eighteenth. At the grounds a small army" Is working on new buildings, painting and repairing old ones, constructing fences, roads and sidewalks and another gang of men and teams will he engaged until the fair opens on the great mile speedway where the fastest horses in the world will enter in the twenty contests at the five days' Grand Circuit meeting for the $50,000 in .purses offered. This early it is apparent that every department, from the poultry show to Che horse and cattle departments, will be crowded with exhibits and What to do with the overflew Is a big problem the management must cope with before the fair opens. In the agricultural and horticultural sections, the exhibits will be larger than ever before, the development bureaus of the upper peninsula, the western and northeast sections of the state having engaged all of the space the fair management would allot them for the exhibits from their sections. Every Inch of available space has been taken on the floor of Motor hall by motor car manufacturers and dealers, and this show will this year he one of the leading features of the fair. More than 60 manufaeturevs and dealers will exhibit, trucks forming * big part of the show.

For the first time, the Michigan fair is to receive official recognition from the United States department of agriculture, President Newton having been notified that Prof. Charles E. Snyder has been detailed to represent the department, with instructions to pay special attention to the horse and sheep departments.

She is acting purely for comfort and health r.nd is greatly opposed to the present styles for women, holding that they are basely immodest. She is a young woman who has always been full of Belf-respect, and In adopting trousers in place of skirts sho-haa done s a with dignity and reason. Speaking of her views on dress she says: "There is hardly a girl who har not dressed herself in man's clothes some time or other 4Just for a lark.' There is not one who ever has done so hut has' sighed for the freedom of movement which skirts have denied her. I am not a dress emancipator who dreams only ot her hobby. But I believe the present style of tight skirts is not only uncomfortable but immodest Trousers are far more decent for women than their narrow skirts and low cut waists. They are more economical and hygienic. They do not gather dust and germs the way skirts do, and if you wear trousers there is no necessity for wearing corsets. I never saw a girl yet who enjoyed the corset. Every one of us wears them for the same reason as skirts—long established custom." Doubtless the present fashions have reached such a point of absurdity that a greater reform in women's wear than has ever been known before will result In the hobble skirt, fashion overreached itself—even its inventors laughed at the preposterousness of It It has furnished one of the strongest anti-suffrage arguments: "A sex that deliberately cripples Itself Is not sufficiently intelligent to be allowed tc vote/' the antis say.

In a communication to the Breeder's Gazette extolling ,the virtues of the dairy Shorthorn H. W. Avery says: I am a farmer in central New York and make cattle the main issue. Milk from the herd brings money every day in the year, and every week or so the butcher hands me a Dice check for a beef animal. I am entirely satisfied with the returns from the herd. It brought me over $8,000 last year, more than half of which was net profit. 1 imagine they would be called dual purpose cows, the kind of cows that will not down, notwithstanding the insistent didactic statements of the self styled "special purpose" men to the contrary.r Ninety-nine per cent_of cows are ke^pt because their owners make money out of them or hope to. A cow that brings her owner a profit is really a special purpose cow kept especially for that purpose, whether it be from beef alone, from milk alone or from milk and beef combined. Six years ago 1 decided that the dairy Shorthorn was the best money maker for me in the cow line, and the results have not • disappointed me. Last winter I visited England to look over the dairy Shorthorns. It was not bard to find many splendid cows of the type that will give lots of milk and make good beef when required The English records for a day's production are in excess of ours, but the 0 0 YEArt* EXPERIENCE TftAM MARKS DEMONS COPYRIGHT* 4 6 .

Geer Notary PoMtcrwttb $&\ PINCKNBY MICH TrTe dairy Shorthorn cow Amy V., here illustrated, owned by Samuel Sanday, Cheshire, England, is a good example- of trrts~type of cattle. She gave over sixty pounds of milk in a day at the London dairy show last October. Amy V. is a handsome cow with dairy conformation, a capacious, well placed udder and a frame that carries lots of meat a* yearly production is not so great, owing to the desire of the English breeder to nave his cow go dry and produce a calf every year. Darlln^on Cranford V. of Lord Rothschild's herd has given in ten years a total of 101,746 pounds of milk, or an nverage of 10,- 174.6 pounds per annum, and she produced eleven calves, once twins, it was Interesting to note that the milk as produced by this herd and weighed for each cow made a total of 004,880 pounds for 1D10. and the weight of the same milk sold was 503.715 pounds, or a shortage of less than fifteen pounds* per cow for the year. Experiments With Horsaf. During the years 1909-10 experiments were conducted on-four Danish farms for the purpose of determining the relative value of oats and Indian corn,' of oats and mangels or rutabagas and of whole and cut straw in feeding work horses of the Jutland breed. The main experiment period lasted, as a rale, from two to three months. By substituting corn for oats two pounds of corn was found equal to two pounda of oftta i s the grain ration, and some straw was saved by making this change. When about four pounds of o*ts was replaced by roots in a ration of from twenty to twenty-four pounds of oats two pounds of diy matter in the roots proved equal to two pounds of dry matter i s the oats. Such a change in the ration, did not apparently produce any Injurious effects on the health or working capacity of the horses. No Prowt In SorubS.

' Whether In the main we are retrograding or improving, there is one matter in which men have been steadily growing better. That is in their treatment of women. Half a century ago among young men of the world there was not the high sense of honor in the treatment of women there is now. In the days of palatial steamboats, as they were called, on the Mississippi Roland Storms, traveling between St. Louis and New Orleans, met on the boat Adele Southwood, a young girl seventeen years old. Storms, who was ten years Miss South wood's senior, had considered making a "conquest" now and then one of those accomplishments that was to be expected of a young swell of the period. To him love was a game in which all was fair. If beaten at it be would have considered that nothing remained fit him but to take the consequences. If he beat the girl it was her part to grin and bear i t Miss Southwood was not only ignorant of such warfare, but was a girl of deep feeling. She and Storms would sit on the guards during the day looking out upon the ever changing panorama, now passing under some high bluff, now sailing above the surrounding lowlands on a river built up by the levees, to the evening they would go up on to the hurricane deck, watching the lights on the shore go by and. when the boat'stopped to "wood up," looking down on the line of deck hands in the glare of pitch pine knots transferring a wood pile to the boat for fuel. All this was new to Miss Southwood, and what was not only new but much more fascinating to an Impressible girl was having a young man in constant attendance, saying pleasant things to her one moment, talking seriously the next and finally laughing at her for being so matter of fact In this way he kept her In a puzzled state as to whether a mature man was really falling in love with her, a chit of a girl, or whether he considered her merely a child. Storms before reaching the Crescent City talked love to her—such love as pertains to the emotions without any prosaic references to marriage. But she was too unsophisticated to consider this. To her it was spontaneous love, something she had never experienced before and the more serious features of which were still a blank to her. At New Orleans the two partedV Miss Southwood to remain there for the winter, which was coming on, Mr. Storms going by the gulf of Mexico •-to-Teiasr Ther young girt considered that the event of her life had occurred, the young_man that n pleasant episode had occurre(TJtd~lrelieve the tedium of steamboat travel. This Is what he considered It at the time. He did not know that a seed had been planted in his heart which was not destined to germinate for a long while. He knew that this case was In some respects different from his many other affairs, but he did not consider it any more serious. It was four years before he met Miss Southwood again. He was walking on the principal street of Cincinnati, swinging a cane, a "beaver" on his head, a velvet coliar on his frock coat, a profusion of cravat on his bosom, his tight trousers strapped down over his instep, in short, dressed for a swell of the period, when he met, incaled in a diminutive bonnet of pink silk, one of the sweetest faces he had ever beheld. It belonged to a lady about twenty-one years old. and she was looking at him intently. In an instant he recognized the girt he had flirted with on the Mississippi and jilted at New Orleans. Naturally he was embarrassed. There was no expression in Miss Southwood's face sufficiently defined for him to tell how she felt toward him. He stopped to speak to her, standing uncovered, and asked if be might walk with her. Receiving permission, he Joined her. stammering things to ber which she. on her part, received with composure. She had been through the agony of getting over a first love and a first Jilt, and he could see no traces of suffering, of reproach or -of forgiveness. All seemed to be neutralised or, rather, fused into au absolute nothingness. Storms walked with her some ten minutes, at first trying to regain his equipoise, then to discover some indication of the young lady's feelings toward him. In the lattenhe failed. But since there was no indication of unfriendliness he made bold to hint t he would like to renew theaoqUaintance. Before parting^4dTas Southwood invited hint, tor come to see her the next afternoon at 2 o'clock. He accepted, and they parted. the appointed hour Storms, having summoned up all his will power., courage, adroitness to win again and win to keep what be had won and thrown aws/. went to call on Miss Southwood He found a number of gu t to be merried.

Of such a one \*4 \% c o m xnonly Bald while he is^ i i i v e and spending that he has a 'heart \\^9 an ox and a hand a l w ^ U e e p l n h l a pocket;" he is s ^ £ e n of—frequently within hla owr^ bearing—a8 a "prince among m e n V o r "one or nature's noblemjBn," \ c seems passing strange that a mr^a with the power to attract to ^>ni8elf so many warm friends should not have any willing to pay his funeral expenses, says the New York Herald. Yet such is often the case. It is a fact frequently commented on by philosophers that these peerages of cafe creation die with the fortunes that produce them. A real "prince among men" or "nature's nobleman" loses his title when hla money ceases to burn holes In his pocket, after which he should set aside a little money for his own obsequies. But those who argue from the forlorn and friendless passing of one of these "good fellows" that there are no real friend* to be had in this world are wrong. Every one can make friends, and stanch ones, too, by the practice of unselfishness, but not by wasting money on the ^worthless In the Tain hope of being considered a "good fellow," which is merely another name for a complete fooL D>JYS TO FORCE SUBMISSION IN E L E V E N , W E T S IN SEVENTEEN NEXT SPRING. THE ASTOR W ^ f f l l There's a new health-fad, blowing soap bubbles. A New Yorker who has just returned from a vacation trip to the Saranac lake region saw in one of the villages there a number of people, young, middle-aged and elderly, with clay pipes and glasses of suds, vying with one another in the childish pastime. Narrating his experience to a reporter, he exclaimed: "1 inquired of one resident if the place had become a retreat for the mildly Insane, and he told me that they were all people who had-—or thought they had—weak lungs. A doctor from New York was up there last winter and Introduced soap-bubble blowing as one of the aids in the cure of consumption. It makes the patients breathe deeply." It is plausible as many another therapeutic novelty, and certainly no harm can come of i t A little wbile ago there was some amusement because two American women had married Frenchmen claiming to be able to give them the title of-Duch.es* of Chofseul, and each questioned the right of the other to the title. Now •here will be more a m u s e m e n t Litigation has brought out the fact that it belongs to neither of them, though the husband of ^1.9 of them, formerly Mrs. Paine, is the seventh Duke of Praslln.

Luther Burbank Is on the wrong track in working to evolve a seedless watermelon. Picking out the seeds keeps people from eating the w a t e r melon faster than they should.

The claim that one of those French aviators made 165 miles an hour must await verification. It may be true, but an official statement would inspire more ready belief. Former Senator Clark of Montana has had a $126,000 pipe organ placed in his New York house, but he doea not as yet seem to have bought any golden cuspidors.

The nuptials were brief and simple. The girl-bride was the coolest memher of the party. She went through her part of the ceremony with an air that seemed to some of the bystanders to be slightly bored. The new mistress of the Astor millions stepped into her new position as though it were a matter of little importance. Counties Where Drys Will Fight. Leelanau Grand Traverse Manistee Wexford Mason Berrien Lake Mecosta Roscommon Washtenaw Ottawa Twenty-eight counties of Michigan are feeling th3 pressure of either the Michigan Anti-Saloon league or the Michigan Brewers' association in the effort to force them into the local option fight next spring. It is very probable that in all these counties the question will be submitted to the people for a vote. Of the 28 counties 11 are wet and the drys are circulating petition for submission or re-submission of the question .of saloons or no saloons. The remaining 17 are dry, %nd the brewers arc organizing them for rne campaign to throw them back into the wet column. In all the counties the boards of supervisors will meet Oct. 9 and the petitions for submission of the_local option question, -signed "~by" one-third" of the voters, must be in by that date to be acted upon. This gives the workers about one month to obtain the number" of signatures required by law to the petitions, and with the return of the "wet" and "dry" leaders the agitation of the voters in those counties which are eligible to vote has begun.

Taft The Gleaners, a farmers' organization of Northville, at a special meeting, passed resolutions asking all members of the local organization to refrain from attending the state fair at Detroit, Sept. 18, for the reason that President Taft would be there that day. _ % The reason for the action is that the Gleaners regard Taft as responsible for the Canadian reciprocity pact. They think the trade agreement will hurt the American farmer, and they don't want to be at a state fair where he will speak. The resolutions call upon all the Gleaners of the state "to do likewise." Village of Chapin Destroyed. The village of Chapin, northwest of t h e city of Saginaw, was practically destroyed by fire yesterday. The loss is about $25,000» about one-third covered by insurance. All the business places in town and one residence were burned. The heaviest losers are Herbert Leavitt, barber shop and pool room; C E. Bachelor, general store; Lyone Bros., general store; Odd Fellows' halt and Smith Hathaway, residence. The fire started in the rear of the pqpl room from an unknown source. 1 Charles Jones, manager of the Oregon hotel, formerly of Hastings and Grand Rapids, disappeared after going on a fishing trip several days ago at Portland, Ore.' His friends believe he was drowned or slain. Charged with supplying members •of a thrashing gang with boose, which led them to raise heck in the vicinity of Cloverdale, Charles Collins has been held for trial for violating ttie local option law. Walter I. Woodman, receiver for the defunct National Boat ft Engine Co., of Muskegon, states that holders of common and preferred stock wll! receive practically nothing.

HAS RELAPSE. Alarming Report That the Pope Is Again Seriously III. There is great uneasiness in Vatican circles over the condition of the pope, his holiness having suffered a relapse. So serious is his conditionthat Prof. Marchiafava has been asked to resume his daily visits. While it is announced that the re< lapse is due to a recurrence of the gouty symptoms that so greatly annoyed the pontiff and caused him extreme pain two or three weeks ago.it has been- learned from an undoubted. auhority that in addition to the gout he pope is suffering from consequent uraemic poisoning. Farmer Ki|ied,«Wife and Son Hurt. Benjamin Bietz, aged 55 years, a well known farmer of Hickory Corners, was killed when his horse ran away. His wife was probably fatally injured and their 8-year-old son Wilbur was badly injured. Bietz was driving with his family from his f^rm to Midland park with butter for a resort hotel. His horse became frightened and he pulled up on the lines. When he did so one line broke and the horse ran away. Dashing down the road at a terrific pace, the horse suddenly turned from the-roadway and ran into a tree before the three in the buggy could jump. Beitz was hurled head first a g a i n s t ' t h e tree. His skull was fractured-^and he died soon after the accident. Mrs. Beitz hit the tree also, the left side of her face being crushed in. She has also suffered internal injuries, it is feared. The boy has one broken leg, but it is not believed that he has otner injuries. Ohio Official Gets Three Years. Rodney J. Diegle, assistant sergeant- at-arms of the Ohio state senate, convicted of aiding and abetting the alleged bribery of State Senator L. B. Andrews, was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary. Diegle had hoped to get off by laying bare the crookedness ln the legislature*.- b u t . the prosecuting attorney declared he did not tell ail he knew. Diegle's sentence was suspended until eptember 18, to allow the case to be carried to the circuit court. Canada Rejects Fisheries Treaty. Canada has decided not to accept the changes proposed by the United States in the international fisheries treaty of 1908, and the work of years of negotiations is to be rendered ineffective. The official announcement of the Canadian government's position will be made in a few days. Joseph G. Cannon, erstwhile speaker of the house of representatives, will run for congress again in 1912.

M. Izvolsky, the Russian ambassador at Paris, has been authorized to (ell France that her proposals to Germany are accepted by [Russia as involving her full duties as an ally should Germany follow its rejection by a belligerent act. It is understood that Russia's strategy in such an event will be to hold a sufficient force on Germany's eastern rear guard as to keep half the German army there while an expeditionary army invades Austria through the North Balkans. Before the czar left for Kieff the German and Austrian ambassadors at St. Petersburg-went aboard the royal yacht Standart and bade him a long leave. The farewells were ostensibly friendly but the ambassadors were hiding deep chagrin for they had been unable to carry out successfully a deep-laid and intricate intrigue which it was hoped to give Germany a free hand to deal with France alone on Tand in event of war.

R 0 om H e a rs erdict, The jury in the case of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr,, charged with slaying his wife, returned a verdict of guilty Friday. It required only 58 minutes for the jury to reach..a decision. The 12 men filed out of the courtrom at 5:28 p. m. and at G:26 were back with the verdict. Beattie's nerve was unshaken, there not even being a tremor of his face as the verdict was rendered. Henry Beattie faced the men in the light of three little kerosene lights. "Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict?" asked Clerk Coghill. "We have," said Foreman Farley. • "What, is it?" Beattie stood and heard the verdict- -announced-.—He rested on "his right hand which held to the desk before him. His left hand was placed on his hip. Not a trace of fear or emotion came to his face. The lips of his father trembled and the old man settled back as far as he could in the chair. A burst of approval of the verdict came from the people packing the courthouse. The judge rapped for order. The jurors were sent back - to their room because they did, not say in what degree they found Beattie guilty. The foreman's verdict read: "We, the jury, find the accused guilty as charged in the indictment." Mr. 'Wendenburg asked the court to have the charge amended to read guilty of murder in the first degree. -The Jury returned to the room and made the verdict guilty of murder in the first degree. The defense immediately made a motion to set aside the verdict. The-judge denied a motion for a new t r i a l s - .. Judge Watson granted a stay of sentence of ninety days, as asked by the defense. . . ^ - . - ^ Members of the jury that convicted Henry Clay Beattie say that their minds were made up before *'-- -'--. ing arguments of the lawyers on both sides were commenced. Beattie himself did the most to bring about, his conviction when he took the stand on his own behalf at the end of the trial, according to several of the jurymen. All of t h e 12 men knew that he was lying; his whole testimony did not carry conviction of the truth of his evidence nor of his in* nocence of the crime charged, against him.

The child was stolen from the bed in wfiich she had been sleeping with a sister and her disappearance was not known to her family untilt morning.

The United States is facing the most severe sugar famine in years. The refineries have hardly £ny stock on hand; there ' U practically So trading in anything but seconds in the New York market; it is impossible to obtain any of last year's European surplus, and the fall crop for the United States threatens to show a large diminution. The price of sugar haa gone up steadily for months. It has risen <v cent and a quarter a pound, wholesale, the. last few weeks, and the fall production not only will not bring about a drop in prices, but may be responsible for a continuation for the increasing price. This is the situation as summed up by sugar experts in the department of agriculture, after a period of reports from all sugar-growing sections of the country, reports on the present condition of the market and estimates on the amount of sugar now held in stock by the refineries.

Professor Munyon is a living embodiment of the cheerful creed he preaches. "Virile, well poised, active and energetic, lie looks as though he would easily attain the century age limit which he declared Is the normal one.

I want to talk to the men who are 'all run down,' whose health has been broken by ' overwork, improper diet, late hours and other causes, and who feel the creeping •clutch of serious, chronic Illness. "To these people I bring a story of hope. I can give them a promise of better things. I want to astonish them by showing the record of cures performed through my new system of treatment. "I have taken the beat of the ideas from all schools and embodied them in a new system of treatments individually Adapted to each particular case. I have 7»0 cure alls,' but my present method of attacking disease is the very best thought of modern science.

Jack Keith, a Virginian, now a border plainsman, is riding along the Bants Fe trail on the lookout for roaming war parties of savages. He notices a camp Are at a distance and then sees a team attached to a wagon and atfuil gallop pursued by men on ponies. When Keith reaches the wagon the raiders have massacred two men and departed. He searches the victims finding papers and a locket with a woman's portrait. He resolves to hunt down the murderers. Keith Is arrested at Carson City, charged with the murder, his accuser being a ruffian named Black Bart. He goes to jail fully realising the peril of swift border justice. A companion in his cell Is a negro, who tells him he is Neb and that he knew the Keith family back In Virginia. Neb says one of the murdered men was John Sibley, the other Gen. WHHs Waite, formerly an officer in the Confederate army. The plainsman and Neb escape from the cell, and later the two fugitives become lost in the sand desert. They come upon a cabin and find Its lone occupant to be a young girl, whom Keith recognizes as a Binger he saw at Carson City. The girl explains that she came there in search of a brother who had deserted from the army. A Mr. Hawley induced her to come to the cabin while he sought to locate her brother. Hawley appears. i"' n* ; & •top the Pain. ejotsMr eat prevents soars/ las sad He* sp «Hao l» tke.oldeat.assi, moat I * \*r'\' *sr, .T^V x.» CHAPTER X.—(Continued.) "" "A murder! Did you imagine he came this way?" "Not very likely; fact of It 1B, the sand storm yesterday destroyed all traces, and, as a result, we've lost him. So I headed a few of the boys over In this direction, as I wanted to relieve you of anxiety." She was silent an instant, and the man crossed to the fireplace, where Keith could gain a glimpse of him. Already suspicious from the familiar sound of his voice, he was not surprised to recognize "Black Bart." The plainsman's fingers gripped the negro's arm, his eyes burning. So this gambler and blackleg was the gentlemanly Mr. Hawley, was he; well, what could be his little game? Why had he inveigled the girl into this lonely spot? And what did he now propose doing with her? As he crouched there, peering through that convenient crack in the door, Keith completely forgot his own peril, Intent only upon this new discovery. She came slowly around the end of the table, and stood leaning against It, her face clearly revealed In the light of the lamp. For the first time Keith really perceived its beauty, Its fresh charm. Could auch as she be singer and dancer In a frontier conc e r t h a l l ? And If-so, wbat-strange conditions ever drove her Into that sort of life? "Is—Is Fred with you?" she questioned, doubtfully. "No; he's with another party riding farther west," the man's eyes surveying her with manifest approval. "You are certainly looking fine to-night, my girl. It's difficult to understand how I ever managed to keep away from you so long." Sho flushed to the hair, her lips trembling at the open boldness of his tone. "I—I prefer you would not speak like that," she protested. "And why not?" with a light laugh. "Come, Christie, such fine airs are a trifle out of place. If I didn't know you were a concert hall artist, I might be more deeply impressed. As it Is, I reckon you've beard love words before now/' "Mr. Hawley, I have trusted you as a gentleman. I never came here except on your promise to bring me to my brother," and she stood erect before- him. "You have no right to even assume that I am Christie Mac!aire." "Sure not; I don't assume. I have seen that lady too often to be mistaken. Don't try on that sort of thing with me—I don't take to it kindly. Perhaps a kiss might put you in better humor." B e took a step forward, as though proposing to carry out his threat, but the girl stopped him, her eyes burning with, indignation. "How dare y o u r she exclaimed pas* sibnately;-ail fear leavtog her in sodden resentment. "Yon think me alone hare and helpless; that yon can insult me at your pleasure. Don't go too far, Mr. Hawley. I know what yon are now, and it makes no difference what you may think of me, or call me; you**! find me perfectly able to defend myself." ; "Oh. indeed!" sneertogly, "yon are melodramatic; you should have been an actress instead of a singer. Bat you waste your talent oat here on me. Do yon imagine I fear either you, or your precious brother T Why, I could have him hung to-morrow," She was staring at him with wide open eyes* her face white. "What—what do you mean? has Fred done?" He was cold and sarcastic "That makes no difference what I could induce men to be had done. It's easy enough to convict in this country, if you only know how. I simply tell yon this, so you won't press me too hard. Puritanism is out of place west of tba Missoari especially among ladles of your profession..

"While I believed your brother story, I could have played the good Samaritan most beautifully, but after I talked with Willoughby I prefer him at a distance." "My brother story! Do you mean to insinuate you doubt his being my brother? He told you that?" "He gave up the whole trick, You can't trust a kid like that, Christie. A couple of drinks will loosen his tongue, and put you in wrong. Come, now, 1 know it all; be reasonable." Apparently the girl had lost her power of speech, staring blindly at the lace of the man before her, as a bird meets the -slow approach of a snake. Keith could see her lips move, but making no sound. Hawley evidently interpreted her silence as hesitation, doubt as to^his real meaning. "You see where you are at now, ChriBtle," he went on swiftly. "But you don't need to be afraid. I'm going to be a friend to you, and you can be mighty glad you got rid of Willoughy so easily. Why, I can buy you diamonds where he couldn't give you a calico dress.

He reached out and actually grasped her, but in some manner, she tore loose, and sprang back around the end of the table, her cheeks flushed, her eyes burning.

T o n lie; Fred Willoughby never told you that If you come one step nearer, n i s c r e a m ; I'll call your men hare; I'll tell them the k)nd of a our' you are.** v He laughed, leaning over toward her, yet hesitating, his eyes full of admiration Her very fierceness appealed to him, urged him on. "Oh, I wouldn't! In the first place they probably wouldn't hear, for they are camped down In the corriL I suspected you might be something of a tigress, and preferred to fight it out with you alone.

' A few red ooais glowed dully m the ftreelaca, but an else was dense bJaeknees. Keith beard the movements of Hawley, as he felt his way uncertainly along the table, Then, like a shadow, he glided through the partly open door into the room. CHAPTER XI. The Flgnt in the Dark. Had the room been filled with men Keith could have restrained himself no longer. Whatever her past might be, thiB woman appeated to him strangely; he could not believe—evil of her; he would have died if need be in her defense. But as It was, the ugly boast of Hawley gave confidence in the,final outcome of this struggle in the dark, even a possibility of escape for them all. The gambler, assured of being confronted merely by a frail and not overscrupulous woman, had ventured there alone; had stationed bis men beyond sound; had doubtless instructed them to ignore any noise of struggle which they might overhear within. It was these very arrangements for evil which now afforded opportunity, and Keith crept forward, alert and ready, his teeth clenched, his hands bare for contest. Even although he surprised bis antagonist, it was going to be a fight for life; be knew "Black Bart," broad-shouldered, quick as a cat, accustomed to every form of physical exercise, desperate and tricky, using either knife or gun recklessly. Yet it was now or never for all of them, and the plainsman felt no mercy, experienced no reluctance. He reached the table, and straightened up, silent, expectant For an instant there was no further sound; no evidence of movement in the room. Hawley, pussled by the silence, was listening intently in an endeavor to thus locate the girl through some rustling, some slight motion. A knife, knocked from the table, perhaps, as Bhe slipped aoftly past, fell clattering to the floor, and the gambler leaped instantly forward. Keith's grip closed like iron on his groping arm, while be shot one fist out toward where the man's head should be. The Wow glanced, yet drove the fellow backward, stumbling against the table, and Keith closed in, grappling for the throat. The other, startled by the unexpected attack, and scarcely realizing even yet the nature of his antagonist, struggled blindly to escape the fingers clawing at him, and flung one hand down to the knife In his belt. Warned by the movement, the assailant drove his bead into the gambler's chest, sending him crashing to the floor, falling himself heavily upon the prostrate body. Hawley gave utterance to one cry, half throttled in -bia throat, and then the two grappled fiercely, so interlocked together as to make weapons useless. Whoever the assailant might be, the gambler was fully aware by now that he was being crushed in the grasp of a fighting man, and exerted every wrestler's trick, every ounce of strength, to break free. Twice he struggled to his knees, only to be crowded backward by relentless power; once he hurled Keith sideways, but the plainsman's muscles stiffened into steel, and he gradually regained his position. Neither dared release a grip in order to strike a blow; neither had sufficient breath left with which to utter a sound. They were fighting for life, silently, desperately, like wild beasts, with no thought but to injure the other. The gambler's teeth sank into Keith's arm, and the latter in return jammed the man's head back onto the puncheon floor viciously. Perspiration streamed from their bodies, their fingers clutchihg, 4heir limbs wrapped together, their muscles strained to the utmost Keith had forgotten the girl, the negro, everything, doinlaated by the one passion to conquer. He was swept by a storm of hatred, a desire to kitk In their fierce struggle the two had rolled close to the fire place, and in the dull glow of the dying embers, be could perceive a faint outline of the man's face. The sight added flame to bis mad passion, yet he could do nothing except to cling to him, jabbing his fingers into the straining throat The negro ended the affair in his own way, clawing blindly at the combatants in the darkness, and finally, determining which was the enemy, he struck the gambler with the stock of his gun, laying him out unconscious. Keith, grasping the table, hauled himself to his feet, gasping for breath, certain only that Hawley was ~no longer struggling. For an instant all was blank, a mist of black vapor; then a realization of their situation came back in sudden flood of remembrance. Even yet he could see nothing, but felt the motionless figure at his feet "Quick," he urged, the instant he could make himself speak. "The fellow Is only stunned; we must tie and gag him. Ie that you, Nob? Where is the girl?" "I am here, Captain Keith," and he heard the soft rustle of her dress across the room. "What is it I may do?" -*A coll of rope, or some straps, with a piece of cloth; anything you can lay bands on." She was some moments at i t confused by the darkness, and Hawley moved slightly, his labored breathing growing plainly perceptible. Keith heard her groping toward him* and held out his hands. She started as he thus unexpectedly touched her, yet made no effort to break away. "You—you frightened m e a little," she confessed. "This baa all happened so quickly I hardly realise yet Just what has occurred." (TO BE CONTINUBD.) ©new rreADiLY WORSE. * Cblossa Wos-ian Experiences ttirribte Suffering from Kidney Trouble.
