Brazil to the north must cross Uruguay to get to the South American metropolis, Buenos Aires. Argentina to the south must use Uruguay's railways to find the shortest route—part rail, part sea—to Europe, England and the United States, for the port of Pernambuco. Brazil, will some day take an Importance as the terminus of a through rail line from Buenos Aires and as the port of departure for a quick steamship service to the countries north of the equator. With this in view Brazil is now spending millions upon harbor improvements at this point. This through railway from Buenoa Aires to Pernambuco has therefore something more than a South American significance. It becomes Pan- American. In fact the great system of railways designed to bring about easier communication between the capitals and principal cities of all American republics may be divided into two systems: (1) The main line following close to the backbone of the continent and connecting Argentina and the westerly republics with North America through the Isthmus of Panama; (2) the transcontinental zz&Ft&wr -nragf ^ ^ 9 ^ ^ 2 ^ ¾ ^ ¾ ^ line linking up Chile and Argentina with the easterly republics and thence via steamship line with North America. That the transcontinental system will be completed long before the main line seems assured. Chile and Argentina have pierced the Andes and Valparaiso sends passengers and freight to Buenos Aires by the completed Transandlne railway. Brazil has pushed her steel highways nearly to the border of Uruguay. While England and _Francfi have poUfe<Ttheir capital into the building of these lines, which help to form the Pan American, it seems fitting that the United States should at last step In and complete one link in the chain which goes under the name Pan or All American. It was left for the little republic of Uruguay to bring about this desired result. She granted to an American company concessions to build the line from Colonla just opposite Buenos Aires northeast to the San Luis river, a distance of about 365 miles, with a branch of 60 miles to connect with an existing line to the east. Uruguay has found it good policy to encourage railway building by fair and liberal treatment of capital which ventures into such large undertakings. The government has confidence in the future of Uruguay and is willing, therefore, to guarantee an interest earning upon a fair capitalization, believing that the country as It develops will make good and produce these earnings and more. Experience has shown such confidence to be well founded, and the existing railways are paying good returns to their shareholders. Uruguay, therefore, felt no hesitation In inviting capital from her sister republic north of the equator to enter the field. How the invitation was accepted may be learned from an examination of the Uruguayan consular records. During the past three months, April. May and June, a steady stream of invoices has passed through the offices. Thousands of tons of rails, bridge and other structural steel, telegraph poles and wire, fence wire, cement, lumber, passenger cars, freight cars and locomotives have left the port of New York headed for Uruguay. From Newport News the Lovlsa cleared, a goodsized barkentlne purchased by the Pan American Transcontinental Railway company to help out in carrying railroad ties and lumber. From New Orleans, on June 7, the Wimbledon steamed away, carrying the largest consignment of lumber which ever went out of that port. Over 50,000 tie3 and over 60,000 feet of yellow pine timber made up her cargo. All of theser things are to help build the first American railway in the River Plata region. Inquiry has developed that the enterprise i s one which is backed by business more than by banking Interests In' the United States. The work has been carried on quietly and steadily. * The surveys were complied and submitted to the government July 15, 1.910, The winter and early spring were occupied in arranging for purchase of material and equipment. Grading was begun at Durazno on "March 6. The first section of 30 miles was formally opened to public service in September, l!Hl, and the entire line will be completed within four years- It seems thus to be destined that Uruguay, of all the-South American republics, shall be first intimately known to United States capital. And as where one's capital Is there lies one's interest, it seems not unlikely that Uruguay in its development may feel strongly the influence of American ideas and customs and perhaps be drawn into still closer national sympathy with the people of the United States. In the physical characteristics of the country Uruguay bears a striking resemblance to parts of the United States. The rolling prairies and many streams of Illinois are there, as, too, Is the rich, deep, black soil. The peaches, grapes and pears of northern Ohio find a natural home in the southerly portions of the country, and the sands of Colonia remind one of the sands of Lake Erie. If the hiHtory of the development of the middle west be repeated south of the equator one can see Uruguay well peopled and well plowed, a prosperous country to live in and a fair one to look upon. In the plans of the railway company the development of the port of Colonla plays an Important part. It is understood that here will be established a center of distribution for imports to the River Plata region. Storage warehouses will make \t possible for manufacturers to carry at trifling expense large stocks upon which they can call as needed for distribution in the Argen- —ttne-or Uruguay ^-to-up-river-dlstrlcts. — The natural depth of the water is such at Colonia as to make this one of the finest of harbors. The largest ocean steamers will be able to discharge their cargoes quickly and cheaply. Natural conditions, in fact, seem to have destined this point for one of the great shipping centers of the River Plata region. This Pan American railway has large significance for Uruguay, but it may mean even more for the United States. If it serves, as now seems quite possible, as the introduction of United States capital to this great South American region, and familiarizes Unied States investors with the sound and stable character of railway enterprise, as It has been and will be developed on this port of the new world, it will have accomplished qufte as much for the republic of the north as for Uruguay, and more perhaps for the general advancement of Pan Americanism than for either. r*fc Hard to Destroy Species m £.:;.;«: *V 'rM&r* i Dlfljcifty of Extermination I t Exempli* 'fled by the Cr.se of the Wolf l In Europe. When man sets about ridding himself] pf entire species of animals by systematic persecution he usually flndfc it a.difficult job. Set a price on theihead o f - a wolf or a woodchuck, and' the animal Beems at once to real* ize jthe Importance of prolonging its lifei The case of the wolf in Europe ft a historic one. A price has been set on $he cVeature's head for centuries, and. yet there is only a small portion of the continent from which the animal has been extermianted. The Netherlands is free or wolves, owing to the character of the country. The whole land furnishes not a single rocky den suitable for a wolfs lair; neither is there a forest for the animal's shelter. It is true the wot/ has been exterminated from Great Britain and Ireland. iThis result has been reached, however, by Indirect means rather than by a direct attack. The clearing off: of the forest left the wolf no place in which to hide from pursuit. The islands werevtoo far firm* the contineot for their thinned ranks to be recruited from the mainland.

In proof of this we are told that there is an ancient act of parliament still in force in England and Wales prohibiting the taking of eggs of certain birds, of which six kinds are expressly named. In spite of this protecting law, four of the six species have ceased to breed in those countries,'The Indirect ways In which such results are brought about are shown In the destruction of the quail In New Zealand- The birds once were numerous; no one wished to destroy them. But the-land was burned over for other purposes at seasons when the eggs and young .of the quail were exposed to destruction, and a few years brought the species to an end. Facts About Wedding Gifts * - Difference Lies In Direction. A precocious son of one of the managers of William S.

Presents Should Be 8ent to a Bride. Elect Within a Fortnight of Her Marriage. Wedding gifts are sent to a brideeleet within three weeks or a fortnight of the day set for her marriage. Mere visiting acquaintances of the families or the couple about to be wed do well to wait and see whether they are asked to a wedding before forwarding any presents. This course is not prompted by cold calculation, but by genuine delicacy. As soon as the person thus in doubt receives a card a pleasant assurance Is given, and the gift may then be forwarded. When wedding cards extending an invitation' to witness merely the marriage ceremony are received by one who acknowledges only the most formal acquaintance with the bride or groom, or either of their families, there rests no obligation to send a gift. It would be proper to send one if the recipient of the cards wishes to, and many persons feel that the receipt of sue* cards calls for one. It is cuBtomary to send a gift when the cards include an Invitation to the house afterward, as well as the church. Persons in mourning may send wedding gifts, though they are not able to attend either theTeligious ceremony or reception. Those who feel themselves under obligations, or who have received favors from either of the contracting parties, are privileged to send a bridal gift, even when only slightly) acquainted with the bride or bridegroom or their re Only the intimate friends and relatives of a bride are entitled to present the gifts in person. Shorthand. 'Mr. John D. Rockefeller shows the religious side,of his character by taking notes of a sermon in order to read It to his sick wife. The note-taking habit is a useful one. When this great financier becomes his own stenographer he is Indulging in a pleasant occupation. A knowledge of shorthand is a good accomplishment for anyone. Its usefulness is unquestionable. Anyone capable of taking phonographic notes need not necessarily be speedy enough,for professional work. If one can merely take notes two or three times as fast as he could by using long hand he can catch and preserve important data. For' most Americans a knowledge of shorthand is of far more importance than the acquirement of a foreign language, as the latter cannot be used often and is easily forgotten.

Marion.—A shooting affair occurred at Temple, eight miles south of here. Sheriff Hoggan of Ann MoBa, la., accompanied by Deputy Fred Green of Harrison, drove two and a half miles in the country to arrest A. B.. Buff man on the charge of felony and fraud. Buffman Invited them in, chatted for a time, then went Into an adjoining room. His wife followed and shut the door. The officers forced the door open. Buffman warned them back with a shotgun and fired at the officers. Then Green fired five shots, one taking effect to Huffman's shoulder and one in the leg. The officers left Buffman seriously wounded . and started to town to call a physician. Aa_j they were leaving Buffman came to the door and fired twice, one shot hitting Hoggan above the eye and lodging back of It Hoggan will probably j lose his sight Buffman shot six times at the officers. Port Huron.—Charles Carter, aged thirteen years, of this city, took a chance of sustaining serious, If not fatal injuries here for the sake of a small cat. A report had been sent into police headquarters stating that a cat had climbed one of the highest trees on Seventh street three days before and still maintained its position, with no signs of descending. Police Clerk Mills was dispatched to the scene immediately. The boys of that neighborhood in the meantime heard that the cat was to be executed by order of the police. In order to save the nine-lived one an end by shooting, the Carter lad volunteered to "shin up" the tree, which he did and brought down the cat just in time to save it being shot by Mills. Jackson.—Struck by an interurban car on the Eden crossing, between Mason and Leslie, Paul Darling, president of the village of Leslie, was Instantly killed. Darling, who was evidently running In an effort to catch the car, ran In front of it and before the motorman could set the brakes,, was ground to pieces beneath the wheels. It is presumed that Darling was running at such a rate of speed when he came'to the crossing that he was unable to check himself when he reached the track. He .evidently realized his perilous position too late as he tirrned partially around as the car bore down upon him. He was a member of the hardware firm of Darling & Fruman of Leslie. Kalamazoo.—While her father was being ' elected president of the Kalamazoo Driving club, Miss Lela Marsh was being married at Paw Paw to George Longwell, a Van Buren county resident. She Fs exceedingly popular among a host of friends, who were greatly surprised to learn that she had eloped to Paw Paw, where she was married.

Most farmers are confronted by this* prbblem, in a serious manner because of the short crops of the past dry season and the present high prices for teed stuffs. ID wintering farm work horses one of two extremes usually prevails. The lover of good horses saves the best mow of hay and the best bin of oats for his horses during winter when they are producers as workers, thus rendering their coBt of keep very expensive. On the other hand, however, too many horses are wintered In the barnyard on straw and corn etalks only, going Int6 the spring work weak and thin and unfitted to undergo the severe strain of the seeding wprk.;. There is a medium between thefie' two extremes by which coarse cheap feeds in sufficient variety can be used In wintering the horse cheaply, and satisfactorily. If the^iiors* 1B in moderately good condition and doing no work it can be wintered on corn fodder, straw and ensilage with .a small feed of mixed hay dally. If there are no nubbins of corn In the fodder a few ears may be fed dally. Under these conditions the run of a yard during the day with ample stall or shed protectien at night Is desirable. If the horses are being employed at moderate work such as hauling manure, feed, wood, etc, a moderate feed of mixed grain daily should be given in addition to the ear -corn. If ensilage is not available from ten to twelve pounds of carrots per day per horse will be found very serviceable Ensilage should be fed in moderation, using not more than 15 to 20 pounds daily, depending on the horse. Michigan experiment station bulletin No. 254 gives a description of the methods employed in wintering work horses engaged at moderate labor on the college farm during ten weeks of the winter of 1908. Six horses averaging 1,254 pounds consumed daily 11 pounds of oats and 20 pounds timothy hay at a cost per day of 19.4 cents. Another six horses averaging 1,291 pounds consumed daily 8.6 pounds corn stalks, 4.3 pounds oat straw, 5.4 roots, 4.2 pounds hay, 5.7 pounds grain and 4.2 ear corn at a cost of 12.3 cents per head daily. Both lots of horses worked between forty and fifty days out of the seventy of the experiment. Those on the cheaper feeds gained a few pounds In weight over and above the others and were in equally good trim to go into the hard work of spring plowing, seeding, etc. REPAIR WORK ON THE FARM Tha Use of Toots Has Educational Value By R. J. BALDWIN, Michigan Agricultural College The successful management of a modern farm depends largely upon the care and repair of ^the equiprnerit with which the work Is performed. This implies the necessity of housing all implements when not in actual use_ and Ihelr repair before needed again. To do this there must be a suitable outfit of tools on the farm arranged In a shop where work can be cony t ^ l g n H y and mrrifnrtfthlv done. Al- ''.'V » % # : « teratlons and repairs on buildings and fences are required from time to time and if there are not tools at hand suited to this purpose the work will not be done well, If At all. The question of how far to attempt to do repair work on the farm depends upon the distance from town and the tastes and training of the farmer himself. The regular work of the farm should be the first consideration and anything that will Interfere with field work should not be undertaken In many cases the work of" a trained mechanic is more satisfactory than that done at home, and we must always depend upon the village blacksmith for many things. All ordinary Injuries to machinery can be repaired on the farm, and this, in addition to' the work which must be done abont:barns,' stables and fences, make' a repair outfit an important part of the farm equipment. The general overhauling of machinery should be done at a i l m e of year when no other work is pressing and wfcen it may be done as a rest or Vfrqm pther ,farm work. If .Implements are stored during 'fn'place* not easy of accessor in open weather they will probably be out of repair when needed again; but if they are housed In a buHdltfg one corner of which is a shop the job of fixing them will be mere attractive and the work win be more liable to- be done before spring. Frequent applications of some metallic -paint*such as Venetian red and raw linseed oil does much to improve tba appearance of implements and greatly to their tasting qualities, use of tools it of great educaralue, especially when the work tally performed. The boys on tbs farm should be encouraged In the use of tools, (but should be held re* tpotjirble boll) for -the care of the tools and the character of the work performed, with them. The tool outfit of the farm is of special service on stormy days and will aid greatly in keeping the boys employed and contented to remain at borne." . .

S. SHAW, Dean of Agriculture The enrollment of students In the regular four courses at the._MIch.igan Agricultural College for the year 1911 and 1912 presents some Interesting data. Up to October 5th the total number enrolled was 1,278, divided as follows, viz.; agriculture, R71; anglneering, 452, and home economics, 255. These figures* do not include any short course students, which number irom 400 to 500 anually. The requtrements for entrance to the freshman year are graduation from accredited high schools or other institutions with equally good training. Ten years ago only about twentyfive per cent, of the male students entering this institution enrolled in agriculture, the number this year exceeds 55 per cent. Not more than 20 per cent .of the graduates in agriculture returned to the farm a decade ago. The past few years nearly all who had farms to go to returned to them. Some influential factors have been at work bringing about these changes. Agricultural colleges have succeeded in winning the confidence and respect of the farmer. High priceB of farm produce has had an effect. Men of national reputation politically and industrially have been, speaking and writing in behalf of agricultural development The daily and weekly paper and even some of the largest city papers have used agricultural matter freely while the movement has been popularized by the magazine. The purely agricultural paper used to stand alone In Its efforts for a better agriculture. Bucolic Music. Little Willie, being m c£tr boy, had never seed a cow.

"Qh, Cousin John, what 1B that?" he asked. "Why, that is only a cow," John replied. "And what are those things on her head?" "Horns," answered John. Before they had gone far the cow mooed long and loud. Willie was astonished. looking back, he demanded in a very fever of interest: "Which horn did she blow?"—Everybody's Magazine, ' 1 Photographed by Underwood & Underwood, N. Y.

STORY OF JAPANESE GOWNS Interesting Facts Concerning the OriginofGarmentsWornInthe island Empire. Nearly every woman nowadays cherishes a Japanese gown for house wear without realizing how interests ing a garment it is. The sleeves themselves have a curious history. From the middle of the sixteenth century they began to increase in length, and, especially those for young ladles, have extended till now they are from three to four feet This style, known—as furlsode, became very fashionable. The width of the obi, or sash, has also varied, at first from two and a half to three and a half inches, and To~sTx, seven, eight and nine inches. It is interesting to note that our own new fashions in sleeves and sashes originated among the commoji people of Japan, arid from"tlTern'wero finally adopted by the upper classes. The young ladles of the Samnrl class were the first to follow the popular styles In this respect, and the higher classes began to follow suit, until now these fashions prevail everywhere. It is only from about the middle of the seventh century that the women of the lower classes began to wear the long haorl, or overcoat, at present so common among all classes of both sexes. This garment was originally a duster worn by men to protect their clothes when outdoors, and was then caHecV.dofuku, or traveling coat. Finafly-<they came to be worn indoors, and I h e ^ o m e n adopted the garment. The uppe^-cjjisses in time followed the same custom>-4nd now the haorl is an indispensable p the clqthing to be worn on formal casions, even, in summer. NEWEST IDEAS IN GIRDLES Many Materials for Choice and Design Is Altogether a Matter for the Individual. The newest girdles are made of rope, bead, metal, fabric and chenille. The latter are particularly well liked, aa are also those made of pierced metal pieces run with ribbon and obtainable in assorted colors. There are also those mads of colored pyroxylin, ribbon laced. These pyroxylin girdles, while extremely light in weight, have an effect similar to the heavier metal ones. Another of this class of girdle is tbs heavy linked chain or metal rope, made in either gilt, silver or oxidised. Due to the great popularity of cord girdles, there have been manufactured Special ornamental pins in plain and chased effects, also set with colored stones, intended for use as a fastening for the girdles in place of a knot, being both practical and ornamental, and at the same time eliminating the knot tying wear on the girdle. In the Dining Room* Plates should be heated before they are sent to tbs table. An entire meal, prepared with great care, can be spoiled by'the use of cold plates.

He was consid ered very promising by connoisseurs, and a number of bis chums looked upon him as a coming genius. Crook lived just such a life as other artists lived in the Latin quarter at that time, which was a bo hernia n one, mingling only with those who were either art ists, artists' models or grlsettes. Uo had u bed 1n his studio, where he slept and got bis own breakfast, dining usually at a restaurant, where he met other artists and the women they as sociated with, including models. They would usually get together at the same table, and a merrier lot were aot to bi> found in all Paris. There was a girl Tvho belonged to this set who seemed out of place. There was a refined purity about her that none of the others possessed. She made her living as an artist's model, but especially for her head and shoulders. She had posed for more Madonna pictures than would fill one of the rooms in the Louvre. Crook, beins the most prominent artist of the sot, considered that any one of the girls he chose to smile upon should smile upon him in return. He took a fancy to Cecile Boyer—"the Madonna," as she was familiarly referred to—and was very much put out that she did not return his admiration. The truth is Cecile had given her heart to David Forbes, one of the least prominent of the young artists studying in Paris. He, too, was an Ameri can. Why he tried to make an artist of himself no one could conjecture, for he had no idea of any of those matters which pertain to art. He undertook to paint a scene as revealed through a window and devoted two-thirds Qf his space to the curtain. As to perspective, he would paint a house and a pump, showing the pump larger than the house. When his chums ridiculed his work Cecile defended htm. Indeed, the only cause they could assign for her affection for him was pity. Crook could paint excellent pictures, but Cecile did not love him. Forbes couldn't paint anything of value, and he was hers heart und A Father's TengeAuce would have fallen on any one who attacked the ton of Peter Boody, of South Bock wood, Mich,, t o t be was powerless before attacks of Kidney trouble.

Indeed, since she was wanted specially for her head and shoulders, nudity was unnecessary. The singular feature of her association with the other* was that she did not in any way assume to be better than they. Unfortunately for Forbes, he could not afford to spend his time trying to learn _wbjRt_seemed impossible for him to learn, for he was poor. But the less money he had in his pocket the xnorp determined he became to make an art 1st of himself. Whether Cecile encouraged him in his purpose no om> knew, though all understood she snuk by him. About the time his last frati wasspent-ajid^-n<>-remlttance-t<r-i from America his health broke down, and that finished all work for him. at least for the present. His artist friends went to see him and asked if they could do anything for him, but he shook his head and said that he was getting on very well Sometimes they would find Cecil*1 there, ministering to him. Indeed, she was providing for him, but at thnt time no one dreamed of such a thin;,'. During Forbes' illness Paul Crookattempted to gain some foothold with Cecile. She neither encouraged nor repelled him. Indeed, she continued to be Indifferent to him. He offered her n large sum to pose to him for a picture requiring a model for the whole figure For a time he believed sht would consent. She wanted the money for David Forbes. She went to David, told him of the offer and said that if he would accept of the sacrifice she would accept Crook's proposition. By this she gave him a dose thai took away his malady and called out an artistic ability that no one knew was in him. He spurned the proposl Hon with horror, saying: "Had I such a model I could produce a wonder." That was the origin of Forbes' picture of Eve, which was hung in the Paris salon the next year. None of the set of which Paul Crook was the shining light recognized Cecile as the model for Eve. Forbes put just enough change in the features to prevent her being recognized. He shrank from her appearing before the .world as his model more than she. She was shielded by his love and her sacrifice. What a singular bonleversement. Crook was expected to give the world at least one great work. So he did But hbw?

When I'm upstairs the doorbell rings downstairs and when I'm downstairs the phone rings upstairs," said Evelyn in an agitated tone, as she took down the receiver. "Hello, is this North 124?" asked a masculine voice. "Whom do you wish to speak to?" asked Evelyn in her sweetest voice. "My name is Jack Mitchell," replied the voice. "Is Miss Carter there?" "This is Miss Carter." "My cousin, Frank Jocelyn, asked me to call you up a s soon a s I arrived from N e w York. He wishes to be remembered to you." "Oh! Mr. Mitchell, I should be delighted to meet any of Frank's relatives. Are you going to be here for some time?" "Yes, I expect to locate here, but I'm not acquainted and it's a beastly bore hanging around the hotel. Frank said you knew such a lot of people. Maybe you would Introduce me to a few young folks.** "Surely I'd be glad to have you meet some of our friends. If you haven't a n engagement for this evening, do come up. You will—that's fine." After giving explicit directions how to reach her home, Evelyn hung up the receiver, exclaiming t o her sister in an excited tone, "Just think, a swell cousin of Frank's i s coming to call this evening. I wagef he's a rich New Yorker, v Doesn't know a soul here. Well, J'm not going to be in a hurry to introduce him around. Don't see any of the girls bringing their out-oftown friends over here. If I make a good impression there may be invitations to the theater and opera galore. Gracious! I'll have to telephone to the cleaner immediately to send my beaded net covered with chiffon waist right away. Then if I get a bid for the opera I can wear my cherry silk voile. Maybe Amy will let me have Miss Kelly, the dressmaker, tomorrow to shorten it. What hat shall I wear?" "You won't need any hat," answered her sister. "If he's such a swell fallow as yon imagine, most likely he'll take a taxi." "Of course he will. Say, have you got a pair of long, clean, white gloves?" i "Oh, thanks, a thousand times. I You're just the best sister. May I | take your white lace scarf, too? I'll j borrow Jessie's opera coat and have i it in the house.

Have we anything home to serve?" — " T h e r e is a-bottle-of-ginger ale -BOTH some cake," replied" Jane. "No one cares for that. Please tell Mary to get some alcohol. Til make a rarebit in the chafing dish—those little tea aprons look so cute." "Amy expects me to play bridge this evening. Will you let her know I can't come? We are going to play every Wednesday. Maybe Mr. Mitchell will join us. Will you tell Eva, if s h e calls up, that I have an engagement for this evening, but don't call me, for she always rubbers s o . There's that 'phone again!" "Yes, Mr. Mitchell, that's the right address. You can't hslp finding our house, It's right next to the church, how anxious I am I can't tell you to m e e t you. It seems as If we were old friends, after hearing your voice so often. You feel the same way? Thank you. Good-bye," Evelyn looked beautiful In her soft whJte gown. "I hope Frank won't b e Jealous," she said, a s she clasped her sister's coral beads around her neck. "If I accept Mr. Mitchell's attentions anyway, he's such an old friend he won't care. Frank's away s o much he must expect B e t o g o with other fellows. Anyway, there's nothing serious between « . There's the door-bey. I l l go." Evelyn opened the door, her fees wreathed In A welcoming smile. Her expression changed eemewhat as aa overgrown youth of about seventeen years greeted her with "How do you dor I'm Jack Mitchell. It was Jelly good of you to ask me out." Eveb/n extended a father limp hand; saying the first tfefcaf she could think of to cover her< chagrin: "How are you? How much you look like Frank." Later lev the evening she discovered he waa only a fourth cousin ef Frank's. At any rate, there was no chafing dish supper served thatnight. Because at nine o'clock Evelyn asked to he excused, leaving her sister to entertain Jack while she hastened to the bridge party.

During the course of a reply to a a address presented to Hon. Robert Rogers, the newly appointed Minister of the Interior of Canada at a banquet given* at Winnipeg in his honor that gentleman apoSe on fmmig'ratWft. The tone of his remarks was that he Intended to pursue an aggressive and forward policy in the matter of immlgra-* tlon. In part, he said: "The moat Important branch perhaps of that department (Interior) la that of immigration. ' ! "If there is anything more than another \ye/want here it is a greater ..population, and it shall be my duty to pre- BenX to the people in all parjs.oi tho world where desirable emigrants are to-be found the. advantages ajud the great possibilities of this country. We have received in the past a reasonably large Immigration. front south of the international boundary, and in , thia connection let me say just a word for our American cousins who have fpun&__ happy bomea amongst us, and those whom we hope to welcome in greater numbers in the years to come. There are hundreds of thousands of them in our prairie provinces, happy in the enjoyment, of a freedom as great as they ever knew, and all contributing in a material way towards the development of Canada. We are not blind to their value as settlers. They come better equipped with scientific farming; knowledge than most of our emigrants, and constitute without doubt the wealthiest class of emigrants any new country has ever known. As head of the Immigration department it will be my privilege to offer them a welcome hearty and sincere, and to so contribute to their welfare that under the protecting folds of the Union Jack they will enjoy as great a degree of liberty and happiness as under the Stars and Stripes. The Borden government cherishes nothing but the kindliest feelings for the people of the great republic to the south, and will do all in its power to Increase the bonds of kinship and neighborly good feeling that has so long existed. (Hear, hear.) "While we adopt a vigorous emigration policy in that country, we will also adopt the same vigorous.pottcy in other parts of the world, w e will go to England, Ireland and Scotland, and every other country irrespective of race, creed or nationality^ where we can find suitable and desirable emigrants for thiB great country. I think much good work can be done in those countries, and especially perhaps at the present time In England, Ireland and Scotland. Now, then, It will be my duty to stir up^hat policy in the most vigorous manner possible." K A DIFFERENCE. 50® 75c 21-2® 10®llc; V E G E T A B L E : * .

The man -stood hat in hand, bowing slightly, unable to comprehend why he should have been sent for, yet marvelling Again at the remarkable resemblance "between this woman and that other "whom he had left at Fort Lamed. As K i s s Maclaire stood with back .toward t h e window, she presented th£ same youthful appearance, the same slen- •denies* of figure, the same contour of face, , "Miss Christie Maclaire?" he asked, 4|p though in doubt "Ye*" graciously, won instantly by the nan's appearance and manner, '"yon wished to see me?

His own eyes smiled in response to challenge of hers. "I can assure you the surprise was mine also," he hastened to inform her, now more at ease, as he grasped the situation. "I could not understand tow I had become known to you, yet ! pledge you my word the message was actually brought. Of course you may suspicion otherwise, for I have seen you on the stage, and being a normal man. have wished that 1 could devist) some excuse for meeting you." "Indeed!" her eye-brows slightly uplifted. "Yes, I make that confession frankly, yet this call comes from no such desire. I had no question when 1 came, but what I had been sent for— y«u will believe this?" "I Buppose I must, yet it seems very peculiar," she replied, feeling convinced that he was a gentleman, and troubled as to what she had best do. could possibly have with you, Miss Maclaire." The woman's eyes flashed, hardening in their brown depths. "What right have you to ask?" she began indignantly. "I am capable of deciding my own affairs. As I have told you I have never met Mr. Hawley, but i am not to be influenced against him merely by the denunciation of an avowed enemy. He has written me of something he has discovered which is of deep personal interest to me, and has promised to tell me the details, as well as place within my bands certain necessary papers." "I appreciate your feelings," he said gently, as she paused, "but would you mind telling me the nature of those papers?" There was something in Keith's face which told of honesty, and inspired confidence. Miss Maclaire's worldly experience had given her deep insight into the charaoter of men, and somehow, as she looked Into the clear gray eyes, she felt impelled to answer, a vague doubt of the unknown Hawley in her mind. "They—they were papers to establish identity. He had discovered them by accident; they have to do with an inheritance. Really that Is all I know, for he wrote very briefly, stating it would be safer to confer with me personally—only I imagine there is a large sum involved." "Prom whose estate?" Keith Backed Into the Corner—His Hand In His Pocket. "Yet now that you have discovered your mistake—" "I hope to take advantage of the opportunity," he broke in firmly, leaning slightly forward. "May I ask you a question?" "1 could hardly prevent it, and really 1 do not know that I have anything to conceal." "Then 1 will risk the effort—do you know a man named Hawley?—Bart- •lett Hawley ?* Her eyes did not falter, although a red spot shot Into her cheeks, and her lips pressed together. "No; that is I have never met him," she acknowledged, just a little con* fused. "But I have received two letters signed by that name, and rather expected the gentleman would call upon me here in Sheridan during my engagement Is that your mission? Were you sent by him? or are you Mr. Hawley r "I disclaim all relation, Miss Maclaire, even friendship. You. of course, know who this Individual Is?" "No," the short monosyllable waa not encouraging. "His messages were of a business character." "So 1 presumed, yet one likes to know something even of the person he doee business With. I have been acquainted with Hawley for *' several years, and have never been aware of any honorable business he has ever engaged in. He It a' professional gambler, known on the frontier at •Black' B e n / last night he waa running a faro game .across there In the 'Palace.'

It may seem strange, but—but I canaot even tell the names of my* parents; I cannot remember either my father or mother. Oh, I doi not know why I should tell you all this! Who are you,' really? Why do you ask me such questions?" He leaned forward, touched by the woman's emotion. "Miss Maclaire," he said gravely. "I am not prying into your life needless* ly, but am endeavoring to serve you as well as others. Hawley may Indeed possess papers of great value, but if so they were, not found by accident, but stolen from the body of a murdered man. These papers may possibly refer to you, but If so Hawley himself does not believe i t - h e has simply chosen you to impersonate the right party because of your physical resemblance." "Resemblance to whom?" "To a young woman, a Mist Hope/ "But how do yon know this? Why should you be Interested? Are you a detective r "No, i am not a detective, but 1 cannot explain to you my Interest I am trying to serve you, to 'keep youfrqm belog drawn Into a plot—" "Bather to keep'me from learning the truth, Mr. Jack Keith," she burst forth, riaing to her feet Indignantly. "You are here trying to prejudice me agaiait Mr. Hawley. He is your enemy, and you hive come to me staobfhg him in thevhsek for revenge. That It your Interest Well, I anr going to Eee the man, and consider what he has to say. I don't care half so much about the money as I do to find out who I am If he can throw any light on my early lire, on my parentage, I shall be the happiest woman in the world. I am sorry I told you anything—but I am going to see him just the same. Perhaps he might tell me something about you." They were both standing, the woman's eyes flashing angrily, defiantly, her haada clinched. Keith, realizing the false position into which he had drifted, hesitated to answer. He meant to tell her the whole story, and urge her to co-operate with him in learning the gambler's purpose. The woman impressed him as honest at heart, in spite of her life and environment; she was not one whom a swindler could easily dupe into becoming a tool. "Miss Maclaire," he began, determined on his course, "listen to me for just a moment. I am—" There was a rap at the door, ine eyes of both turned that way, and then Keith backed slowly into the darkened corner beyond the window, hiB right hand thrust into the pocket of his coat. Miss Maclaire observed the movement, her lips smiling, a red flush on either cheek. Then she stepped across the room, and opened the door. Framed against the black background of the hall, his dark, rather handsome face clearly revealed as he fronted the window, his black, audacious eyes fixed appreciatingly upon the lady, stood "Black Bart" Hawley. He saw no one but her, -realized no other presence, had no thought except to make a good impression. He was facing a beautiful woman, whom he sougbt-4o use, and he bowed low,-hat in hand. (TO BE CONTINUED.) New Auto Motive Power. Automobillsts in England—they call them motorists over there—are much Interested in the success of an invention known as "solid petrol," or gasoline in little bricks. Its exact composition Is, of course, a secret It contains 80 per cent, of ordinary gasoline, a percentage of soapy matter, and^ one per cent, of a foreign "substance" which gives it solidity. A small block of it is said to'be equal to a gallon of liquid motive power, and its inventors say that enough to propel a car 1,200 miles can be carried in a littie box on the running board of the machine.

After bluffing out most of the deputy game wardens and other peace officers generally, he haa been arrested and brought into court- -by a woman. There is no real reason why he should feel excessively humiliated. A husky repeating rifle, loaded with steel-jacketed bullets, will kill as quickly when a woman's finger presses the trigger as when the best shot on the plains does the same thing. It all depends on the success and the intent with which the rifle Is aimed. Several weeks ago Mrs. Christie Partridge, a widow, was made game warden. The trapper works in her district, and, although there is a law against trapping beavers, he has diaregarded it systematically, placing not unwarranted faith in his "bad man" reputation. The oiher morning, just as he had visited his traps and rebaited them, he was surprised to hear a noise in a clump of bushes behind him. He turned and found himself gazing into the muzzle of a rifle. The the rifle was re against MrB, CI Nothing to Write About. A new reporter on a western paper waa assigned to go to a church meeting and get a story of it. He w^nt.

I haven't got anything to write. The meeting broke up in a fist fight between the minister and the deacon, and not a bit of church business was done."—Saturday Evening Post.

He knew by experience the difficulty of sermon making. After n few weeks, he said. a preacher cannot And matter for preaching every morning and evening, "nor will Hie people come to hear him, whereas if he never stays more than a fortnight In one place he wi.il iiml plenty of-matter, and the people will hear him gladly.

Good books are masters who correct our ignorance without puthng it to shame. They instruct us without rods or ferrules, without harsh words or anger, without fees and without fatigue. W h e n you approach them they are never weary, when you interrogate them they conceal nothing. If you mistake them they do not grumble if you are stupid they do not lau^!. at you. They are the most patient and gentle of our teachers and the most to be chershed. * DEPARTMENT OF TBE IKTKBIOR D, 8. vt»t»§ L«nd Office at Msrq '»tt«, Mich. N' vem ber, »,1911.

The marquis, a man of forty; tin* baroness, a womau of thirty-sis, i; young man of twenty and u girl of nineteen made up the group. "Now. go." said the marquis to lh^ two younger ones. "You, my deur nephew, have received my consent, and you, Cecile, have obtained the same from your aunt. 1 will taki^ care of you, and the baroness will probably not be lucking in gifts." "I certainly will do my part," said the baroness. "Uncle," said the young man joyously, "you are one of nature's as well as one of the nation's noblemen." "Aunty," said the girl, "I shall endeavor to be worthy of your kind ness." The young couple strolled off into another of tbe suit of rooms, leaving the older ones together. "Nature as well as history,*' said the marquis, "repeats itself, Do you re member the day we received your father's blessing?" "Perfectly, and how joyous I was. Then when the trouble between us came I was in despair. I did not knowit wTas a blessing in disguise." "How do you know it was a bless ing?" "From friends who have married and been miserable. I can count them on my fingers. There's Elise," putting the forefinger of her left hand on tiulittle finger of her right, "and Annette. and Fancnette"— "Yes, and among my friends I cr;n count a s many who are supremely happy." "The romance fades"— "But it gives place to an enduring affection." "These young people who have just left us will keep up a pretense of deferring to each other till the day after they return from their wedding tour: then they will begin to quarrel." "But they will gradually grow near er and dearer to each other. They will wrangle, but that is because each knows the other wrill endure sue)* wrangllngs from a mate,'' "But there are those whose quarrels grow more and more violent." "They are but a small proportion of the whole." "Ah, marquis, you have been converted too late. You are not old, but too old to feel love based on compan ionship." "First love I have passed througu. Unfortunately fate did not permit in my case the succeeding state. I have been, as it were, in a condition of suspense,"— She cast her eyes to the floor. "Whose fault was it ?" she asked. "Fate's. I said late prevented, did 1 not? Nothing but fate cau come between a boy and pirl who love. I was young, and I did not understand you. Lovers need to be tied together to pre vent their flying apart. Marriage 3oe~slhat Once~ma,rricd, 01ey~&ave" to learn to bear with each other. And when the child comes there is another reason why they must not fly apart. Married and with a child, disunion is frightful. They will endure real wrongs rather than that." "And think of the absurdity that caused us to fly apart!" "I have forgotten what it was." "We were playing tennis." "I remember." "A ball I sent you you claimed to be foul." "Now I recollect." "I accused you of purposely seeing Wrong." , "So you did." "And you told me you were not in the habit of being accused of cheating." "That's right. Go on." ^ "I threw down my racket and, with my nose in the air. marched off the court." "Ah, yes, I have it now, and I said to myself, 'I don't want a wife who acts like that.' " "And from then till now not a word of love has passed between us." "How stupid!" "We should have, been whipped and ordered to make up like children." There was a short silence between them, broken by the marquis. "Something- of more substance than romantic love drives me to marriage. Youth having passed, I need companionship. Had I a companion I could bear a great deal from her." "And children." "For their sake I would bear anything." "If you, a man, would bear anything for tbe dear little ones, bow would It be with the woman who Is much nearer to them than tbe man?" "It is not too late." "Yes: it Is too late." "No. Shall we risk It?" She smiled. "What amuses yon?" "The difference between this courtship and our former one.** "And I trust our relationship shall not be broken by a tennis ball. See that young rascal In there? He is stealing bis arm around your niece's waist. He is imprinting a kiss on her lips." "You are crushing the flowers in my corsage." "And taking t h e dew from yonr lips." "Enough of this.

At its head ia Rev. Frank W. Sandford, one ot the most remarkable religious leaders in the world. The colonists are called 'The Saints, or the Holy Ghost and Us." The leader is called Elijah the Sec- Snd. To his followers he is the direct bpresentative of God on earth; to his detractors he is a hypnotist; to the casually interested, a tanatlc Always more or less in the world's eye through the adventures and oilsadventures of its energetic leader and his disciples, who rove the seas and carry the "word of God to all countries of the earth," the Holy Ghosters esteem to have come to the zenith of their notoriety. The yacht Coronet, one of a ileet of several craft belonging to the colony, arrived at Portland recently, battered and sea-fouled, her topmasts gone, her sails torn to ribbons, and her woris-eaten hull riddled with the borings of the dread teredo worm of the tropics, leaking 1,000 strokes an hour. On board were Sandi'ord, his family, and fifty other members of the Holy Ghost sect, most oi them living skeletons from the ravages of scurvy and weakened to the point of exhaustion from many days' work at the pumps. Soon after their arrival three men were sent to the hospital by port officials. Sandford hiim-ielf was arrested on a civil suit brought by a woman, who claimed that she had been Illegally detained Pvo years previously when she wanted to leave the Holy Ghost barkentino Kingdom, and after the Holy Ghost leader had given $10,000 bail on this charge he was soon after arrested again by the Federal authorities, charged with being responsible for the death of one of his flock who had been buried at sea, and for the illness of the others, both charges being based on the fact that he had kept them at sea in a boat improperly provisioned when he might have made port. It was fifteen years ago, in one of t h e q u a i n t e s t and cm letest Quaker communities of Maine, lor the inhabitants of Durham, outside of Shiloh, are largely Quakers, that He v. Frank W. Sandford and his "Saints of the Holy Ghost and Us" crusade established the headquarters of their remarkable creed and started the erection of their Temple. When the first spadeful of earth was turned Sandford's sole capita] and equipment was three cents, a wheelbarrow, and a shovel. John Henry Douglass, whoso name is now immortallzed amongst--8hiiohttes, gave the land of his home farm for the site. Other farmers became converted by the young leader, then only eleven years out of college. They gave their time, tholr labor and their land, and, finally, themselves to "the movement," as the Shilohltes speak of their work. 8EQUENCE OF WORK HELPS IN GETTING MEALS. Though fanatical, an extremist in | nlcality of clearing at every port, as f ••:•• l ^ < • » * - • * •to m :/ •••• > f ^ R . ; . Slowly a~great" white Temple, tne wings serving the purpose or a dor- j mitory, was erected, a four-story brick hospital was added,•" and several cottages sprang up. Sandford's original three cents, invested in the "bank of God," as the Holy Ghoeters would say, bore heavy interest, and now an outlay of ¢200,- 000 or more Is represented in the buildings on "the hill top'; The way in which money has at times poured into tho coffers of the Shilohltes has astounded the curious outside world. Sandford's method of securing funds is to pray. He declares that God has never yet failed him with money when it was needed. "The Saints'of Shiloh" say that God himself ordered the erection of this Temple and selected its site; that he furnished the money with which to build; that each successive stage of construction has been marked by a miracle in order that It might be shown that Ood was directing; that is to say, when it seemed, time after time, that money and material were nowhere to be had, when it appeared that the work had stopped for good, supplies were promptly furnished through supernatural agencies. The Saints also assert that Shiloh hai been commended from on high in many other ways. They claim t h a t one person, Mrs. Olive Mills, died in the Temple and was afterward raised from the dead through the agency of Chief Evangelist Sandford; that hundreds of persons have been healed in Sbtlob's hospital "Bethesda" of all manner of bodily infirmities; that have been cast out by the that, in short, every miracle >rded In the New Testament has repeated and wrought there as a gtgn that Ood approves this second evangelisation of the world. And a s further proof of the sincerity of tbm faith all the good works of Saitoh are done "without money and without price." Every comer is welcome. All strangers are received at the gates to hospitable fashion, are fed and lodged and prayed for, and may atay or depart as their own volition directs. Evangelist Sandford is the head of the Shiloh movement. He started it. It is to him directly, so the -claim is mad*, that Ood makes all the revela- U o n a ^ h a t 4 n « said to justify the endeavofs of tfce Safcta. When at Shllofr Kvansailst Sandford ascends each day t o the-summit of a Jotty tower in the VeArffetetifitf there, so'he states, "talks . . . . , " ; * • • . < ; • ' - religious matters, firmly holding to the belief that we must return to the ways of apostolic times, and intolerant of every creed, the evangelist exercises a wonderful power over his proselytes. He inspires the whole movement. His disciples who go abroad through the country preach as he directs them to preach. Of a magnetic presence, and ready and impetuous Indiscourse/he sways, his audlences in remarkable fashion, and his detractors have accused him of hypnotism. In 1887 Sandford graduated from Bates college in Lewis ton. He was a fine scholar but not a grind, for he was an athlete as well. Had Sandford stuck to professional baseball he might have been the idolof thousands of big league fans. Ho put the same intense energy, the same concentration into bis baseball playing that he does_into_hJs_«ligloju_and_he was one of, if not the greatest coUegeFcatchera Maine ever saw. For one year after leaving he played semi-professional ball with equal success. "God called" this stalwart, blonde, blue-eyed, determined young man and h~e entered the ministry. He started as the pastor of a Free Will Baptist church in. a flourishing Jiew__Hamp^ ahlre town. He was considered a very brilliant young clergyman. He was not satisfied, however, with the limited field in which he worked. He talked the matter over with his wife, and both decided that he was not preaching Bible, neither were they living Bible. So he preached his farewell sermon and explained to his astonished parishioners that he proposed to give away all his property and go forth into the world. He said that he never again would accept a cent of money tor preaching, nor allow a contribution box to be passed in his presence. This surrender of a comfortable house and a good salary was looked upon by the friends of the young couple as a sad example of Quixotic faith. Practical people endeavored to dissuade them. But they broke up their home, gave all their property to the poor, and came down into Maine penniless, "without knowing where to lay their heads." After three years and a half spent in making converts to the movement* the motto of which is simply "the Truth." and in evangelization, work on the Temple at Shiloh was begun. Then with more money coming In, and the "bank of God" apparently always open to Sandford, the first vessels of the Holy Ghost fleet were purchased, and Sandford's dream of the evangelization of the world became more like a reality than a mirage. Several small schooner yachts served out their usefulness, until finally the good-sited barkentine Rebecca Crowell was purchased, and then the famous schooner yacht Coronet, which twenty years ago was hailed as the speediest of b«r class when she defeated the Dauntless in the memorable race across tne oeoan. Recently the steam yacht Alsailfct, said to have been loaned by a friend, has been added and is by far the most pretentious vessel which the Holy Ghosters have ever nsvigated. The name of the Rebecca Crowell was changed to the Kingdom, and after several years of service she went on the rocks on the west coast of Africa last April. One day several weeks later the Coronet picked up the thirty-three survivors in the English settlement of Bathurst and brought all hct«lw>»afe1y to this country > on this last tftp. •• :- . With bis usual shrewdness Sandford incorporated his fleet, and they sailed as the "Kingdom Yacht club/' In this way they avoided the teenis required of merchant vessels. All over the world these vessels have sailed carrying Sandford and his disciples with the "word of truth" to many lands. Many times temporary colonists were left in foreign countries to scatter the seeds of the movement. They went to Liverpool, where a branch was established and where one enthusiastic friend donated « -magnificent residence—as -hea4<B*ar*- ters of the sect. They carried their religion-right to the Holy Land Itself, and Palestine and Assyria were Invaded. When the Coronet was obliged to turn back in the North Atlantic on her last ill-starred voyage she was bound for Greenland, where it was intended that the Holy Ghosters should pass the winter spreading the "truth." The customs and the modes of life at Shiloh are unique. In the big tower, which stands sharp against the sky and can be^seen~for many mite8, constant pray,er is offered to God. Regularly, like sentries of the faith, one after another takes his or her turn in prayer. Never since the tower was built ha9 this ever been vacated. The Shilohltes live much after the mmmunity ay-fitem^-There ia _a_cornmlBsary department. So many loaves of bread, so much flour, so much of this and that is given out as the Lord directs, some days in plenty, others frugally. They raise scarce enough for their sustenance; the land is poor. They pray rather than work. You will see them walking about hour after hour reading the Bible with heads bowed. They don't fear starvation. "The Lord will provide" they tell you. The children have schooling in the ordinary branches, but the Bible is their chief text book. There is one white building specially dedicated to the young folk called the "Hosanna." The Holy Ghosters do not believe In mourning. When a person dies the body is placed in a primitively rude casket. The ceremony at the grave is almost nope. Tears are rarely shed. The body is but a worthless husk, they say. When Ood takes the spirit why should we mourn. The population at Shiloh numbered 200 soon after the first temple was built, and has held near that figure ever since. They represent almost all states In the Union, and several foreign countries. Many of them were well to do when they Joined the colony, but thefr goods, chattels and all worldly wealth Is turned In for the common good. They seem to give away their farms and their bankbooks willingly, too. In the slang of the day, "It's like taking candy from a baby." Endless Chain.

Going into the kitchen to make one dish, or ge'ting supper for which much of the food has been previous.y pre^ pared, gives no idea of one of the chiel difficulties in getting meals—the se^ quence of work. Unless the thoughtful end orderly arrangements are made the cook may find she is required to perform two pieces of work i t once, and the last moments before the meal will be crowded with more things than can possibly be done, acc r d i n g to. a contributor to the Delineator. The time required to cook different articles of food often furnishes a sort of schedule for getting the meal. Time must be allowed V>t preparation before cooking and for finishing touches after cooking. Except when a gas range is used, the fire is the first thing to attend to. The other things to be arrangod for naturally fall into three groups, to the first of which belong the things which take a long time to cook. Baked and boiled meats, oatmeal, certain puddings and vegetables which are cooked slowly are among those which may be prepared and put on the fire as soon as it is ready for them. Between this and the second grour is an interval which may be used for preparing the dishes of the second group and for setting the table, arranging salad, putting dishes to warm, etc. The second group contains vegetables and desserts, which cook in from 30 to 45 minutes, or anything which is needed in the concluding preparations of the other foods. Now comes another interval, in which cold food, such as bread, butter and milk, may be put on the table, Preparations must also be made for the cooking necessary to the third group, and collecting on the kitchen table seasonings, butter and milk for the cooked vegetables and meat. The third group contains things which must be done in a very brief time before the meal. These are broil- -ing-meatr preparing cooked vegetableefor the table, making sauces and gravy, putting beaten egg or vermicelli in soup and getting everything ararnged in dishes. Then there are three last things for the housewife to do before the meal: To see that the fire is in condition to leave; that soiled pots and pans are filled with water, and last of all to take an instant to wash her hands, remove her apron and make herself presentable, Get a Free Package At Your Praggisf s Wonderful New Treatment for Sidneys, Bladder, Rheumatism, Backache— Thousands of Free Samples Being Given Away!

WHO WANTS "SISSY" MAN Since Bishop HendHx Would Drive ' Him From the Church Whltffsr Will He Flee? I Bishop E. R. Hendrix, in a church council at Kansas City, asked why the chureh was not reaching more men. "Is it because we are adapting our work more to the j^omen?" be demanded. Another prominent.clergyman, Rev. S. M. Neel, M. D., opined that was' somewhere near the reason. "We want no more sissy men in the pul* pit," he declared. A "siBsy" man. In this definition, is one who adapts his preaching and his teaching and his general conduct of parish affairs more to the women—blesB them—than to the men. Dr. Neel Is heartily applauded by a large number of his pulpit brethren and the spirit of the times in the church, as manifested in such enterprises as the "Men and Religion Forward Movement" seems to emphasize what he says—the call and need for the strong, virile man in the pulpit 4 who appeals to the man in the pew and in the street, for making the gospel a man's appeal, not, of course, depreciating the Indispensable value of the women. . That Is ail very well, but where, may we ask, is the typically "sissy" man wanted? What calling or business needs him?

PATTEN, Experiment Station Chemist, East Lansing, Mich. •«»»»•»»•»»»»»«soeee•»»»»»< A fertilizer may be defined aa any material, which, when added to the soil, will furnish some form of plant food (.nitrogen, phosphoric acid, or potash) to the growing plant, or will materially Increase the supply of tnese In the toll. A high grade fertilizer is one which contains the plant food In a fairly concentrated and readily available form. Nitrate of uoda, bone meal, muriate and sulfate of potash may be mentioned as examples of high grade fertilizing materials. A low grade fertilizer is one which contains the plant food in small amounts or in slowly or difficulty available forms. As examples of this class, the following may be mentioned: Garbage, tankage, ground leather, dried peat, untreated phosphate rock, etc. When these materials are sold separately it is not a difficult matter to determine what they are nor how much and how available is the plant tood, for they are usually known and sold under distinctive names. Exhaustive experiments have been made as to availability of the plantfood in practically all of the pertlllzlng materials found on the market today, and such information will be gladly furnished by the state experiment elation, East Lansing, Mich. Wfcee these materials are mixed together to form the mixed fertilizer of commerce it becomes a much more difficult matter to decide as to the availability of the plant-food for most of them completely lose their Identity. In pttrch cases it is Impossible for the ordinary person to tell with the eye what materials were used in compounding the fertilizer. In respect to the phosphoric acid and _P_ota?.h, however, we may have no misgivings, for almost invariably the phosphoric acid is obtained from acidulated rock phosphate or bone meal, and in either case is readily available, practically all of the potash used in ttiercial fertilizers is in the form 'aftirlate or sulphate of potash, and both these compounds are soluble In ifater there need be no fear of obtaining unavailable potash. The materials furnishing notrogen, on the other hand, are many and varled,_ and they differ greatly in nitrogen availability There have been several methods proposed for determining the availability of the nitrogen In such orgaaic materials, but none of them have been- generally accepted, so that we are still somewhat at the mercy of the manufacturer In regard to the quality of the nitrogenous materials used In the commercial, fertilizers. Were is one rule, however, that may spire to guide us in the purchase -e^lirtjllsers. Purchase,,only, _those commercial fertilizers that have 14 per cent, or more of total plant fond. PEST COMMON ON LOWLANDS High grade matertalB usually hare a high percentage of plant tood, and low grate materials, on the Other hand, usually have a low percentage o{ plant tood. tTbuj- n*b(Ete':pr .sofa contains 15,5 per cent, iitrogen; dried blood, 12-14 per cent, nitrogen; high gradw tankage, U per cent., while-gwh ( | *e tankage contains only 3 per cent, nitrogen and mora meal 2.69 per cent, nitrogen. When the high grade nitrogen compounds are mixed with acid phosphate and muriate of potash, the resulting mixture must necessarily be one of high grade; for example: 300 lbs. dried blood containing 14 per cent, nitrogen. 1,400 lbs. acid phosphate containing 14 per cent phou. acid. 300 lbs. muriate potash containing 50 per cent, potash. 2,000 The mixture would have the following analysis: 2.10 per cent, nitrogen. 9.80 per cent, phosphoric acid. 7.50 per cent, potash.

The jury in her case agreed on its verdict less than 14 hours after tin' case had been finally submitted to th-em. The verdict came as a surprise. It had been persistently rumored that it was a finding of guilty. In fact it was reported that the jurorB hail agreed that Mrs. Patterson was guilty and that they were delayed only by inability to determine of what degree of homicide she should be convicted. Mrs. Patterson herself had become convinced that she could not expect acquittal. Not one person in 1,000 in Colorado believed that Mrs. Patterson would be acquitted. No one expected her to be hanged but the great majority felt sure that she would be found guilty of some charge and receive a ''light sentence. 19.40 The proportion In which the materials are mixed may be varied, but so long as no inert Material (filler) is added the mixture will be a high grade fertilizer. If, for example, the low grade materials are used, we may have a mixture like the following: 300 lbs. garbage tankage containing 3 per cent, nitrogen. 200 lbs. dried peat containing 2.50 per cent, nitrogen. 1,200 lbs. acid phosphate containing 14 per cent. phoa. acid. 300 lbs, kainlt containing 12 per cent, potash. W. L D0l)GUS' TRUST PUN Manufacturer - Thinks Government Should Obtain Publicity by a License System. 2,000 This mixture would have the following analysis: 0.70 per cent, nitrogen. ; 8.40 per cent, phosphoric acl<J. 1.80 per cent, potash. 10.90 If samples of these two mixtures were placed side by side it would be impossible for the ordinary person to tell from their appearance which of the two was the betU r. However, the anal* sis would give, some guide, as the total percentage of plant food In the first case is 10.40 and in the second case 10.90. It would not be possible to make such a mixture as number one out of low grade "nrateriaj, and neither would it be possible to make such a mixture as number two, using high grade materials, without using a considerable quantity of filler. It is invariably true that the plantfood costs more per pound in the low grade fetillzer than In the high grade fertilizer. In other words, the plantfood In a fertilizer retailing for (23 per ton costs more per pound than in a fertilizer retailing at $40 per ton. The plant-food in the high grade fertilizer \p mnrp enncpntratpd and—less ©f- t t - wlll be required than of the low grade to produce the same effect Russia Opens War on Persia. In consequence of the rejection by the Persian national council of the Russian demands, Russia has ordered the Russian troops now concentrated at Resht, capital of the Persian province of Ghilan, 1G miles from Enzell, on the Caspian sea, to advance on Teheran. This is war.. It means that another conflict has been added to the two important wars now on in the arena of world events. Russian demanded that Persia dismiss from office her expert financier, W. Morgan Shuster, an American citizen, whose methods of administering his office have offended Russia. Persia refused.

Large business organizations have come to «tay. We cannot go back to old conditions. We must meet world cqmpetltion. Large "concerns can produce goods at lower cost than small ones. Germany favors large corporations. The method of the present national administration is to dissolve the great organizations and make them smaller, which is a backward step. There should be no limit to a corporation doing a large and legitimate business, such as would be possible under the licensing plan which I favor, writes W. L. Douglas, former governor of Massachusetts, in the Hoston Herald, Prejudices against corporations merely because they are big, perhaps, must be done away with. They give labor better returns. They cheapen product and thus benefit the consumer. They give opportunities to small investors who get returns otherwise (unattainable. They employ able young men who have no capital at all, but who receive handsome salaries for their ability and service. In place of the Sherman law it Is my opinion there should be a department at Washington to grant licenses to all manufacturers and corporations in this country who do an interstate commerce business. The law sheuld be made so clear, plain and definite that it could not be misunderstood. It should require all capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly statements should be given to the public and certified by a public accountant. There should be a board of examiners is each state to look after these corporations just as our national banks are watched by the national government. They should have the right to enter the offices and examine the records of all the directorates of these companies. One of the Boonet. From San Antonio, Tex., comes Harry Boone, Itinerant scribe.

Old carpets, blankets, etc., often will be found useful In helping to make the bins tight. Measure the Inside of the bin, counting in the air space above the grain, If the bin is not entirely full, and place some old pans or plates on top of the grain. Then for every cubic foot of space in the bin, put a dram of liquid carbon bisulphide in the pans and quickly close the bin. Thus a pound of the liquid will suffice for about one hundred cubic feet of space or a little more, or for about one hundred bushels of grain. This treatment is far more effective during warm weather than In cold. During severe cold weather the Insects are dormant and resist the action of the fumes quite successfully. If the seed or grain Is more than two or three feet deep in the bin, the liquid should be poured into it at some depth tn order to insure its spreading evenly and filling all the space treated-. This is easily done with a piece of gas-pipe fitted with a wooden stick for Its entire length. The pipe with the stick in place is thrust down half way to the bottom of the bin, the stick withdrawn and the liquid poured down through the pipe. The stick merely prevents the pipe from becoming filled when thrust into place. The bin should remain tightly closed for from twenty-four to forty-eight hours, a longer exposure is likely to injure the germinative power in some seeds. ' The liquid carbon bisulphide, on being liberated, win be quickly transformed into a gas, which being heavier than the air, settles to the bottom and fills all the air spaces between the seeds or kernels.^ Tqe Jiqnid costs about thirty cents' for a single pound, or five pounds for a dollar. The work must be,done in, the day time, away from lamps, stoves or fire of any tort No fire must he allowed to come near until everything has been thoroughly aired for the gaa or fumes are very explosive when mired with air.

The Pension Department is now considering a plan of disbursing r^nsioit money__which, if put into effect, will save the government a large amount of money. Briefly, the plan is to mail checks direct to the pensioner at the end of three months, and eliminate the tedious process he now goes through of making affidavit each time that he is really himself and no other. An exchange sums up our sentiments exactly when it says: "If you epend your money at the grocery store you will have good provisions on your table; at the shoe store, you have a good pair of shoes to show for it; at the dry goods store, you have linen in your closet; at the milliner's, your wife is a W611 dressed woman with a hatcyou can't see over; at the carriage painter's; your buggy will shine'in the street; but you may spend your money over bars for fifty years and you will have nothing but a red nose to show for it all."

In order to be perfectly sure that hay is well cured on our father's farm, we always put it up into goodsized cocks and allowed it to remain about two days. This second handling exposes all the damp hay to the air and is swift in curing. If you hare a hay-loader, count yourself lucky; but if not, hitch two horses to the end of a pole about eight feet long, straddle one or two cocks and drag them to the stack, if the hay is to be left standing in the flel(J. A device shown in the cut is a home-made stacker recommended by an Illinois farmer. He says thla stacker when equipped with a fork and an active horse, will handle all the hay six wagons can bring in. The rope is fastened at the top and bottom of a strong, slanted pole, and tha fork hangs over the center of the stack. The wagon la placed alongside the board slldeway and the fork used the same is in the barn. If the hay is to be stored in the barn, you will need a steady team on the wagon. The hayrack ought to be about sixteeen feet long and ten feet wide. If you are a good loader, boardB at the end and sides will not be necesgary. When you arrive at the barn with a load, hitch a steady horse on the end of the rope attached to the hay-fork^ aet the harpoon aa deeply aa possible, and the horse will draw up 300 pounds in a twinkling. When the hay has run along the carrier to the point where it Is to be • if- . ^' 1**""' Vialting Couairr"Driving T e a m . dropped, pull the whip-cord, and there you are. With a bright boy to handle the horse on the rope and an experienced man on the load, it can be put into the barn In ten minutes or less. Always begin at the back end of the mow, or the end farthest from the chute to the barn floor, because when the hay is put in in that way, It will come out easier when being fed. It la a good plan to place the hay level in the mow when i t is being unloaded. If you can get an extra man to help, so much the better; If not, do the best you can betweaa bite* with the fork, and keep the mew as level aa possible.

It Has Been Found to Be M o r e Nutritious T h a n Timothy and Nearly Equate A l f a l f a . In the peat horse feeders have not understood the value of clover hay. Glover should constitute one of tbe main coarse roughages for horses. It hat been found to be more nutritious than timothy and nearly equals alfalfa in this respect Feeders object to it, however, because of its tendency te produce heave* and other respiratory troubles when fed in a dusty or etherwise unclean condition. These objection* do not apply to clover which la cut at the right time* properly cured* and free from dust mold. Moldy clever will often cause acute Indigestion aad even death. Those who do not care to feed straight clover will find that a grade of light clover natxed wHl give better results than tttnothy, and there Is no good reasoa why ft should sot be used extensively.

MICHIGAN JEWS ARE iONGEST LIVED Their Average Age la Nearly Twelve Yeari Greater Than That of Christians. m PULE Superficial scrutiny of the vital statUtlcB yields the Jew a prominent por t i o n in the sanitary world, if longevity serveB aB any index of hygienic liv ing. With the average length of life for all Christian people placed at thirty-six years eleven months (1900) the Jew may hope to reach forty-eight years nine months. Neufville (1855), inquiring into the comparative duration of life and causes of deaths of Jews and Christians in Frankfort, learned that one-fourth of the Jewish population was living beyond seventy-one years, while only one-fourth of their neighbors were living beyond the age of fifty-nine yearB ten months. Abbott claims that "they (i. e,, Jews) are much less frequently the subjects of tubercular and acute epidemic diseases than any other race of mankind." Why should this seeming vital superiority exist? According to Richardson, "the causes are simply summed up in the term 'soberness ->? life.' The Jew drinks less than his 'even Christian;' he takes, as a rule, better food; he marries earlier; he rears the children he has brought Into the world with greater personal care; he tends the aged more thoughtfully; he takes better care of his poor and he takes better care of himself." To this might have been added that through religious customs hygienic tendencies became an inheritance.— Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette.

When Mrs. Hayes Served Wine. It will be remembered that Mrs. Hayes was one of the most Influential members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union; and contrary to all precedents, she was determined that wines and other alcoholic beve_r ages should not be served at the White House, while she was there. The only time this rule was broken, as is well known, occurred when two grand dukes of Russia-—Alexis and Constantine—were officii lly entertained there. This was the first and ]ast time. I believe, that such a thing "happened while President Hayes was in the White House,—W. II Crook in 'Memories of the White House Washington, —President Tuft'i annual mesitKe, which was rend In both house* of cuiiKress Tuesday, deals exclusively with the antl-truat statute.

In May last the Supreme court handed down decisions Jn the suits In equity brought by the United State* to enjoin the further maintenance of the atandard Oil trust and of the American Tobacco trust, and to secure their dissolution. The decisions are epoch-making and serve to advise the business world authoritatively of the scope and operation of the antitrust law of 1890. The decisions do not depart In any substantial way from the previous decisions of the court in construing and applying this Important statute. hut they clarify those important decisions by further defining the already admitted exceptions to the literal construction of the act. By the decrees, they furnish a useful precedent as to the proper method of dealtrrff wtth~the capital and property of Illegal trusts. These decisions suggest the need and wisdom of additional or supplemental legislation to make ft easier for the entire business community to square with the rule of action and legality thus finally established and to jnrrsprve the benefit, freedom and spur of reasonable competition without loss o f real efficiency or progress. Nc Change in the Rule of Decision— Merely In Form of Expression. The Btatutft In Its first Rectlon declares to be illegal "every contract, combination In the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy. In roHtraint of trade or commerce amon« the several states or with foreign nations," and In the second, declares guilty of a misdemeanor every person who shall monopolize or attempt to monopolise or combine or conspire witli any other person to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce of the several Btntos or with foreign nations." In two early cases where the statute was invoked to en loin n transportation agreement between Interstate raflroad companies, It WUH held that It was no defense to show thnt the agreement as to rates complained of wus reasonal at common law— heetiHKt*- ft wo* *ntrr that- the" statute was directed against all contracts anrl combinations In restraint of trnde whether reasonal at common law or not. It was plain from the record, however, that the conlracts complained of In thos" cases would not have been deemed reasonable at common law, Tt has been Bald that the court, by Introducing Into the construction of the statute common luiy__dlstl net Ions, has Drooms With Bamboo Handles. The broom long familiar is made with ft handle of.turned wood, but now theH are made also brooms with bandles_ of bamboo.

One of the peculiarities to be no ticed In connection with the twining of plants Is the fact that with very few exceptions all the individuals of one species alwayB twine In the same direction. Most plants twine to the opposite course to the movement of the sun or the hands of a watch Such twiners are the morning glory, wisteria, wax plant, trumpet creeper and many others. Among those which twine in the opposite direction the hop and wild blndwWd, or climbing polygonum, are familiar examples.—Harper's Weekly. An Orchard In Boston. When Augustus L.

It rroM be limited to aoompl'sh the purpose of n lawful main contract to which, in order that it shall he enforceable at nil, It must be inoMnitnt Tf <t exceeds the need? of that contract it is void The Remedy In Equity by Dissolution. l/i the Standard Oil case the 8uprerne and circuit courts found the combination to be a monopoly of the Interstate business of refining, transporting, and marketing petroleum and Its products, effected *nd maintained through thirty-seven d'Cerent corporations, the stock of which was held by a New Jersey company. It in effect commanded the dissolution of this combination, directed the transfer end pro-rata distribution by the New Jersey company of the stock held by It in the thirty-seven corporations to and among Its stockholders, and the corporations and Individual defendants were en- Joined from conspiring or combining to reetore such monopoly: and all agreements betwen the subsidiary corporations tending to produce or bring about further violations of the act were enjoined In the Tobaero case, the court found that the Individual defendants, twentynine In number, had been engaged In a eucressful effort to acquire complete dominion over the manufacture, sale, and distribution of tobacco in this country and abroad, and that this had been done bv combinations made with a purpose and effect to stifle competition, control prices, and establish a monopoly, not only in the manufacture of tobacco, but also of tin-foil and licorice, used In Its manufacture and n' its products of clears, cigarettes and snuffs The tobacco suit presentend a far more complicated and difficult case than the Standard Oil suit for a decree which would effectuate the will of the court and end the violation of the statute There was here no gtngle holding company as in the case of the Standard Oil trust The main compeny was the Amerl"an Tobacco company a manufacturing, selhng and holding company The plan adopted to destroy the combination and restore competition involved the redtvls'on of the capital an* plants of the whole trust between rorre -r the companies constituting the t r v ^r>d new companies organised for t^ • — > "-i"* of th" r]frm* and made part' »nrf - • ' m h T ' n t new and old. *vere twentybarged with '> «^om the rereteert Its unlawful dominion. Under the decree these defendants will hold amounts of stuck in the varioua dlatributt-f companies ranging from 41 per cent, tus a maximum to Z&Vj per cent, as a minimum, except in the caso of one small company, the Porto Mean Tobacco company, In which they will hold 46 per cent. The twenty-nine Individual defendants are enjoined for three years from buying any Btock except from each other, and the group Is thus prevented from extending Its control during that period. All parties to the suit, and th* new companies who are made parties, are enjoined perpetually from in any way effecting any combination between any of the companies in violation of the statute by way of resumption of the old trust. Each of tho fourteen companies la enjoined from acquiring atock in any of the others. All these companies are enjoined from having common directors or officers, or common buying or selling agenta, or common offices, or lending money to each other. Sizo of New Companies, Objection was made by certain independent tobacco companies that this settlement was unjust because It left companies with very large capital In active business, and that the settlement that would be effective to put all on an equality would be a division of the capital and plant of the trust into small fractions in amount more nearly equal to that of each of the independent companies. This contention results from a misunderstanding of tho anti-trust law and Its purpose. It is not Intended thereby to prevent the accumulation of large capital in business enterprises In which auch a combination can secure reduced cost of production, sale and distribution. It la directly against such un aggregation of capital only when Its purpose Is that of stifling competition, enhancing or controlling prices and establishing a monopoly. If we shall have by the decree defeated these purposes and restored competition between tho large units Into which the capital, and plant have been divided, we shall have- accomplished the useful purpoDe of the statute. Confiscation Not the Purpose of the Statute. It Is not the purpose of the statute to confiscate the property and capital of the offending trusts, Methods of punishment by fine or imprisonment of the individual offenders, by tine of the corporation, or by forfeiture of its goods In transportation, are provided, but the proceeding in equity is a specific remedy to stop the operation of the trust by injunction and present the future use of the plant and capital in violation of the statute. I venture to say that not In the history of American law has a decree more effective for such a purpose been entered by a court than that against the Tobacco trust. — Common-Stock OwnerarVrpTIt has been assumed that the present [pro-rata and common ownership In all these companies by former stockholders of the trust would insure a continuance of the same old sinsio control of all tho companies Into which the trust has by decree been disintegrated. This Is erroneous and Is based upon the assumed Inefneacy and innocuousness of judicial Inj u n c t t o p s Thfl c o m p a n i e s a r e r n f o l n a d - from co-operation or combination; they have different managers, directors, purchasing and sales agents. If all or any of the numerous stockholders,' reaching Into the thousands, attempt to secure concerted action of the companies with n view to the control of the market, their number Is so large that Ruch an attempt could not well be concealed and Its prime movers and all Its participants (would be at once subject to contempt proceedings and Imprisonment of a summary character. "Die Immediate IresuTf of t?fo_p"resen— situation will necessarily be activity by all the companies rnder different man agers and then competition must follow or there will be activity by one companv and stagnation by another. Only a short time will inevitably lead to a change In ownership of the stock, as all opportunity for continued co-operation must disappear. M o v e m e n t for Repeal of the Anti-Trust Law. But now that the anti-trust act is seen to be effective for the accomplishment of the purpose of its enactment, we are met by a cry from many different quarters for its repeal. It Is said to be obstructive of business progress, to be an attempt to restore old-fashioned methods of destructive competition between small units, and to make impossible those useful combinations of capital and the reduction of the cost of production that are essential to continued prosperity and normal growth. In the -recent decisions the Supreme court makes clear that there Is nothing in the statute which condemns combinations of capital or mere bigness of plant organized to secure economy in production and a reduction of its cost. It is only when the purpose or necessary effect of the organisation and maintenance of the combination or the ag-gregatlon of Immense slse are the stifling of competition, actual and potential, and the enhancing of prices and establishing a monopoly, that the statute Is violated. Mere size Is no sin against the law. The merging of two or more busines plants necessarily eliminates competition between the units thus combined, but this elimination Is in contravention of the statute only when the combination is made for purpose of ending this particular competition in order to secure control of. and enhance, prices and create a monopoly. Lack of Deflnltenese In the Statute. The complaint Is made of the statute that It Is not sufficiently definite In Its description of that which Is forbidden, to enable huslness men to avoid its violation. The suggestion la, that we may have a combination of two corporations, which may run on for years, and that subsequently the attorney general may conclude that It was a violation of the statute, and that wM'h was supposed by the combiners to be Inocent then turns out to be a combination In violation of the statute The answer to this hypothetical case is that when men attempt to amass stupendous capital as will enable them to suppress competition, control prices and establish a monopoly they, know the purpose of their acts. Men do not do such a thing without having It clenrlv in mind New Remedies Suggested. Much la said of the repeal of this statute and of fonstnirttve legislation Intended to accomplish the purpoae and blase a clear path- for hon*#t merchants and buslt.tss men to follow. It may b<* that such a plan will be evolved, but I submit that, the dbcuanlona which have been brought out In recent days by the fear of the continued execution of the antitruHt law Jiave produced nothing but glittering generalities and have offered no line of distinction or rule of action as definite und us clear as that which the Supreme court Itself lays down in ^nforclnK thw statute Supplemental Legislation Needed—Not Repeal or Amendment. 1 see no objection— aad Indeed I can see decided advantages—in the eaactment of a law which shall descrlbo and denounce methods of competition, which are unfair and are badges of the unlawful purpoae denounced In the anti-trust law. The attempt and purpose to suppress a competitor by underselling him at a price so unprofitable as to drive him out of business, or the making of exclusive contracts with customers under which they are required to g i v e up a s s o c i a t i o n w i t h other roanuaciurers, and numerous kindred methods for stifling competition and effecting monopoly, should be described with sufficient accuracy in a criminal statute on the one hand to enable the government to shorten Its task by prosecuting single misdemeanors Instead of an entire conspiracy, an& on the other hand, to Berve the purpose of pointing out more In detail to the buslnef* community what must be avoided. Federal Incorporation Recommended. in a special meB*ajre to c o n g r e s s on January 7. 1910, I ventured to point out the disturbance to b u s i n e s s that would probably attend the dissolution of these offending trusts.

GOLDEN RULE APPLIED BRINGS FORTH CONFESSION. James, the Youngest Brother,. Will Get a Life Sentence—John 14 Years—Further Confessions Expected. The most sensational criminal trial ever started in America since the trials of the Molly Maguires or the Chicago Haymarket bombthrowers, came to a dramatic end in Los Angeles, Cal., when James B. McNamara. pleaded guilty to dynamiting on October 1, 19J.0, the Loa Angeles •Times building, in which terrible explosion 21 persona lost their lives in flame and agony, and his brother, John J. McNamara, plead-ed guilty to dynamiting the Llew«llyn Iron Works in Los Angeles a few days later, The accused men had entered pleas of not guilty. They had repeatedly protested to all the world that they were innocent vietlms of a plot against union labor framed by prominent Los Angeles men and Detective William John Burns and his agents. Union labor leaders all over the United States had rallied to their defence and raised a huge defense fund —$400,000 or more—and some of the ablest lawyers in the west had taken charge of ^their defense. Socialists in Los Angeles had made their cause their own, awaking popular sympathy to such a degree that election of a Socialist mayor in the municipal election of December 5 had come to be feared by the conservative elements of the city, the candidate being Job Harriman, one of the lawyers for the McNamara defense. So sreat -was local sympathy that bloodshed at the polls was feared. So, when the brothers changed their pleas voluntarily, though on advice of Clarence S. Darrow and Joseph Scott, two of the ablest of their lawyers, the astonishment was not confined to Los Angeles.or the Pacific slope, but ran with electric flash to the bounds of the nation, Startling as was the Sudden confession of guilt on the part of the McNamara brothers, more aodazing to the people of^ljos Angeles was the information that big business men had brought about the surrender in a novel way. That the application of the golden rule and the principle of conciliation founded on religious convictions started the ball rolling toward the admission of gui^t by the McNaraaras, was the theory, supported and confirmed by more than a dozen business men jyhii_jirirticipated in the movement 00GT0RS SAID HE W0UU5 D £ + . - •. , - • • • • : • • * •<.' i A Friend's Advice Saves Life.

Federal Corporation Commission Proposed, I do not set forth In detail the terms and sections of a statute which might supply the constructive legislation permitting and aiding the formation of combinations of capital into federal corporations. They should be subject to rigid rules aa To their orgfantzattorf and procedure- in- j eluding effective publicity, and to the | "lowest snperyislon as to the issue of stock and bonds by an executive bureau or commission In the department of <» ••onimerce and labor, to which in times of < doubt they might well submit their proposed plans for future business, It must be distinctly understood that incorporat e under a federal law could not exempt the company thus formed and its incorporators and managers from prosecution under the anti-trust law for subsequent llegal conduct, but the publicity of Its procedure and the opportunity for frequent consultation as to the legitimate purpose of lta transactions would offer •it aa great eecurity against successful prosecutions for violations of the law as would be practical or wise. Such a bureau or commission might well be invested also with the duty already referred to, of aiding the courts In the dissolution and recreation of trusts within the law. It should be an executive tribunal of the dignity and power of the comptroller of the currency or the interstate commerce commission, which now exercise supervisory power over important classes of corporations under federal regulation. The drafting of such a federal Incorporation law would offer ample opportunity to prevent many man)feet evils in corporate management today, including irresponsibility of control in the hands of the few who are not the real owner*. incorporation Voluntary. I recommend that the federal charters thus to be granted shall be voluntary, at leaat until experience justifies mandatory provisions, The benefit to be derived from the operation of great businesses under the protection of such a charter would attract all who are anxious to keep within the lines of the law. Other large combinations that fall to take advantage of the federal Incorporation will not have a right to complain if their failure is ascribed to unwillingness to submtt their transactions to the careful scrutiny, competent supervision and publicity attendant upon the enjoyment of such a charter. Supplemental Legislation Needed. The opportunity thus suggested for federal incorporation, it seems to me, Is suitable constructive legislation needed to facilitate the squaring of great industrial enterprises to the rule of action laid down, by the anti-trust law This statu*! a s construed by the Supreme court m u s t continue to be the line nf distinction for legitimate business. It must be enforced. unless we are to banish Individualism from aH business and reduce It to one common system of regulation or control ef priceslike that which now prevails with reeeee< to public utilities, and which when applied to all business would be a long star toward state socialism.

But, despite this, a chain of unexplained incidents produced wide speculation. These include the arrest of Burt H.

Clarence S. Darrow, chief counsel for the men, had become convinced that nothing could save the men and advised acceptance of the state's promise of mercy.

Jack Keith, a Virginian, now a border plainsman, is looking for roaming war parties of savages He aeea a wajron team at full gallop pursued by men on pontes When Keith reaches the watfon the raiders have massacred two men and departed. He searches the victims finding papers and a locket with a woman's portrult. KHth Is arrested at Carson City, charged with the murder, his accuser beinjr a ruffian named Illack Hart. A negro companion In his eel) named Neb tells him that he knew the Keiths In Virginia. Neb s a y s on;- of the murdered men was John Sibley, tho other Gen. Willis Watte, formerly a Confederate officer. The plainsman and Neb escape, and later the fugitives come upon a cabin and find Its occupant to be a youns «rirl. whom Keith thinks he saw at Carson City. The girl explains t h a t she Is In search of a brother, who had d>serted from the urmy. and that a Mr. Hawley Induced her to come to the cabin while he sought her brother. Hawley appears, and Keith In hiding recognises him as Black Bart. There is a terrifje brittle In the darkened room In which KAitft Is victor. Horses are appropriated **4< the girl who says that her name Is ftOD*. joins In the escape. Keith explains mm situation and the fugitives make for Fart Larned. where the gl^l is left with the hotel landlady Miss Hope tells that «he is the daughter of General Walte. Keith and Neb drift Into Sheridan, where Keith meets an old friend. Dr. Fairhaln. Keith meets the Brother of Hope Waite, under the assumed name of Fred Wllloughby. and becomes convinced that tBlack Bnrt has some plot Involving the two. Hope learns that Gen. Walte, who w a s thought murdered, is at Sheridan, and goes the.n\ where she is mistaken for <Jhrlstie Maclaire, the Carson City singer. Keith meets the real Christie Maclaire And finds that Black Bart has convinced her that there is a mystery in her life which he is going to turn to her advantage. CHAPTER XXII.—(Contolnued.) "Miss Maclaire," be said, pleasantly, *'I trust you will pardon all that has occurred between us, and permit roe to explain." *'l—I do not understand," she replied, puzzled by these unexpected words. "There has nothing occurred between us. I am sure, which requires explanation. Have we met before?" The man smiled. Seeing the woman's lace in the shadows he was_ still convinced she was the same he had last parted with on the Salt Fork. However, if she preferred to ignore all that, and begin their relations anew, it was greatly to his liking. It gave him Insight Into her character, and fresh confidence that he could gain her aaince. Anyhow, he was ready ugh to play her game. *Let us assume not," just the slighttrace of mockery in the tone, "and Jbegln anew. At least, you will confess the receipt of my letters—t am Bart-" lett Hawley." She cast a half-frightened glance toward Keith, and the man, following the direction of her eyes, perceived t a * presence of the other, His right leg-went backward, his hand dropping to tire belt, his form stiffening erect. Keith'a voice;—low—btrt—clear -+a the" silence, seemed to cut the air. "Not a motion, Hawley! I have you covered." "Oh, gentlemen, please don't!" "Have no fear, Miss Maclaire; this rnan and 1 will settle our difference elsewhere, and not in your presence." He stepped forth into the middle of the room, revolver drawn, but held -low- at the- hip, his watchful- eyes ) never deserting the gambler's face. "flack up against the wall, Hawley." he commended. "I hardly need to tell you how I shoot, for we, at least, have S o t before. Now, I'm going out, and leave 700>to your Interview with Miss •facJafre. a*4 I wish you happiness He moved across to tfefe opening, keeping his face toward his adversary; then backed out slowly, closed the door with a snap, and sprang aside to avoid any possibility of a bullet crashing after him. No sound of movement from within reached hia ears, however, and he walked silently to the head of the stairs. *.7*1 • CHAPTER XXIII. .'*«»•;'.• ' A i g f r r * * Uyxpooted Meeting. W t t - p K o s e d at the landing, looking down Into the deserted office, almost tempted to return and force Hawk*y into a confession of his purpose. ]t was easy for him to conceive what would be the.final result of this interview between the artistic gambler and Miss Maclaire. In spite of the vague suspicion of evil which the plainsman had implanted within the woman's salad, the other possessed the advantage/ and would, certainly I t Alt conditions were date'f**- Isfc favor. He merely HCjjb ewrtnee the girl that she wmUlty the party sought, and she'would go forward, playing the fame he desired, believing herself right, totally unconscious of .any trend The very simplicity of it rendered the piot the more dangerous, tho more difficult to expose. Hawley had surely been favored by fortune in discovering this singer who chanced to resemble Hope so remarkably, and who. at the same time, was in such ignorance as to her own parentage. She would be ready to grasp at a straw, and, once persuaded as to her identity and legal rights, could henceforth be trusted implicitly as an ally. Realising all this, snd comprehend- I n n r t e * now easily Hawley would w4n her coafldeaoV an3 overcome bis wamjnj,by; denouncing him aa,s fugitive from justice charged with musder, U e teaatation to return and flgJU U "Was Your Call Upon Miss Maclaire Very Interesting?" out then and there became almost overpowering. He had no fear of Hawley; Indeed, physical fear had scar-eel y—a- placeftr-faterromposi tioTr, but he was not as yet sufficiently fortified with facts Jor the seeking of such an encounter. A man came in through the office, and began climbing the stairs. He was almost at the landing before Keith recognized him or the other g4frfteed- up. _ "Ah—seen her, I suppose?" "Yes," returned Keith, not thinking It worth while to mention the lady's denial of having sent for him. "I have just come from there." "Hum—thought you'd he through by this time—fine looking girl, ain't she? —believe I'll run in and chat with her myself." . "1 would advise you to Belect some other time, Doctor," said the younger, drily, "as the lady has a visitor at present" "A visitor?" his face rosy, his shrewd eyes darkening. "Ah, indeed! Of the male sex?" "I judge so—'Black Bart' Hawley." "Good Lord!" so startled his voice broke. "Did he see you?" "Rather; 1 hacked him up against the wall with a gun while I made my adieu." "But what brought him there? Are they acquainted?" "Don't ask conundrums, Doctor. He may be your rival with the fair lady for all I know. If he Is, my sympathies are all with you. Only I wouldn't try to see Miss Christie Just now; I'd wait for a clearer field. Hawley is probably not In the best of humor." Fairbain stared Into tbs face of the speaker, uncertain whether or not be was being laughed a t "Reckon you're right,'4 he acknowledged at last. "Tired, anyhow—been out all night—thought I'd like to see her again, though—finest looking woman I've met since I came West— remarkable eyes—well, HI go along to bed—see you again to-morrow. Jack." Keith watched the sturdy figure stamp heavily down the hall-way, loose boards creaking under bis positive tread, and smiled to himself at the thought that be might have, indeed, become truly interested in the music hall singer. Somehow, the doctor did not harmonize with the conception of love, or fit graciously into the picture. Still, stranger matings had occurred, and Cupid does not ask permission before he plays pranks with hearts. Keith turned again toward the stairs, only to observe a woman slowly cross the office and commence the ascent. She was in the shadow, her face even more deeply 8haded by. her bat. yet he stared at her in amaxement—surely, It was MJss Maclaire! Yet how could it be? He had left that person scarcely five minutes before in ; 26." and this stairw a i , Tflt the_only exit His hand also? As her foot touched the landing, she saw him, her eyes lighting up euddenly In recognition, a wave of Color ffooaTneTTer cheeks. — "Why. Captain Keith." she exclaimed, extending her gloved hand frankly, "you have been to my room, and were going away, I am so glad I came in time." "I hardly thought to meet you." he replied, retaining her fingers in his grnap—iiwbea--4id—you- reach Shcrl' dan?" "Only last night. I had no idea you were here until Doctor Fairbain chanced to mention your name, Then ! at once begged him to tell you how exceedingly anxious I was to see you. You see. I was sure you would come if you only knew. I really thought you would be here this morning, and remained In my room waiting, but there were some things I actually had to have. T wasn't out ten minutes, so you mustn't think I sent you a message and then forgot." The nature of the mistake was becoming apparent, and Keith's gray eyes smiled as they looked Into the depths of -the brown. "Your message had rather an amusing result," he said, "as the doctor informed me that Miss Christie Maclaire was the one who desired my presence." "Miss Maclafre!" her voice exhibiting startled kjrprlse. "Why—why— oh, I did forget; I never told him differently. Why, It was most ridiculous." She laughed, white teeth gleaming between the parted red lips. yet not altogether happily. "Let me explain, Captain Keith, for really 1 .have not been masquerading, Doctor ffalrbain ai»d 1 arrived upon the same tomm last evening.

Sherrill, minister to the Argentine Republic, who has heen In the United States telling business organizations about the opportunities to get wealthy from trade with South America, received a call from a middleaged woman who approached him In a western city with the statement: "I am going to assist you in your work." "Yesr* said Mr Sherrill. "1 am going to take Borne of these lecture dates off your bands and give them myself By the way. how much do you get a night for them?"

I remember now that although he introduced himself, I never once thought to mention to him my name. The town was very rough last ulght—the company had paid off the graders I was told— and there was no carriage, so we were compelled to walk. I—1 never saw such a mob of drunken men. One came reeling against me. and brushed aside my veil so as to see my face. The doctor struck him, and then the marshal came up—you know him. Bill Hlckock—and the impudent fellow actually declared he knew me. that I was Christie Maclaire I tried to explain, but they hurried me on through the crowd to the hotel, and 1 became confused, and forgot. Do you suppose they registered me by that i name?" ! "Quite likely; at least Fairbain still believes It was the Christie whom he so gallantly escorted last night." ] "How provoking," her foot tapping ; the floor, a little wrinkle between her eyes. "It fyeems as though I couldn't j escape that woman—does she—does she really look like me?" "At a little distance, yes," h.e_..admitted, "her form and face resemble yours very closely, but her hair Is j darker, her eyes have a different expression, and she must be five or six years older," "Do—do you know ner well?" "No, Indeed; I have sef?r. her several times on the stage, but never met her until a few moments ago." "A few moments ago! Do you mean she is here In this hote)?" "Yes, Miss Hope, and that was what made the mistake in names so. laughable. Fairbain gave me your message, but as coming from Christie. 1 was, of course, greatly surprised, yet responded The lady very promptly denied having sent for me, but as 1 -»ias anxious to interview her myself, we managed to drift into conversation, and I must have pasfed a half hour there I might haye been there still, but for an Interruption." "Oh, indeed!" with rising Inflection. He glanced quickly about, reminded of the situation. "Yes, Hawley came in, and I would prefer not to meet him here, or have him discover you were in Sheridan. Could we not go to your room? I have much tn tell you." Her questioning eyes left his face. and stared down over the rail. A heavily built man, wltl\ red moustache, leaned against tho clerk's desk, "Do you know that man?" she asked quickly. "He foHowed me all the time I was shopping. I—I believe he is the same one jwho jostled me in the crowd last night." Keith leaned past her to get a better view, but the fellow turned, and slouched away. "1 only had a glimpse, but have no recollection of ever seeing hira before. You heard no name?" ^'Wlld Bill' called him either Scott, or Scotty—If this is the same man." Keith's Ja,w set, the fighting light burning In his eyes. That was the name of the fellow rooming with Wllloughbx, the one who seemed to be Hawley's special assistant. "A mere accident probably; but about my request? May 1 talk with you a few moments alone?" She bowed, apparently still dissatisfied regarding his lengthy conversation with Christie, yet permitted him to follow down the hall. She held open the door of "15," and he entered silently, not wholly understanding the change In her manner. She stood before the dresser, drawing off her gloves and removing her hat. "Will you be seated, Captain; the arm-chair by the window Is the more comfortable." She turned toward him, almost shyly, yet with womanly curiosity which would not be stilled. "Was your call upon Miss Maclaire very interesting? Did you admire her very much?" (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Owosso,—A fire, attributed to spontaneous combustion, swept, through the furniture r..nd hardware store' •Jt Pearce & Ward with almost incredible rapidity after a small flame had been discovered in the rear of the store by a policeman. The flames, fanned by a brisk southwest wind, caused damage approximating $100,- J00, shared by a score of business firms and individuals. A heap of spoking ruins is all that marks tho northeast corner of the intersection of Main and Washington streets, the business center of the city. There stood the Pearce & Ward store, a three-story and basement brick block 48 by 100 feet. With plate glass fronts shattered and stocks more or less damaged, several Burrounding stores are boarded up and closed. Portttatrr ==- Air- atWhipI to burn the beautiful country home of Charles Stlnchfield, at Bloomfleld Hills, was made and only Mr. Stinchfield's thoughtfulness for the safety of a neighbor was responsible for the timely discovery of the blaze. A stranger called at the Stlnchfield home juid asked to be kent over night, Be- Ing refused, he started away from the homo muttering unintelligible things. Mr. Stlnchfield, fearing for the safety of a widow living nearby, arose and went out the front door. A fire had been started under the porch and was fast gaining headway. Tho blaze was extinguished and officers were summoned. Kalamazoo.—The governors of ten western states arrived here from Chicago, 40 minutes ahead of schedule time, to make the second stop of their tour of tho central western and eastern states. The party arrived on a special train which included several handsomely decorated cars filled with western produce, The visitors were greeted by Governor Osborn, who came to Kalamazoo to welcome his brother executives In the name of the state of Michigan.

Brighton.—Max Clark of Marion, this county, Is congratulating himself on his luck. While hunting In northern Michigan he shot a black fox for whose hide the price Is quoted from 11,000 to |1,200. Two Bilver skin foxes were captured in Cohoctah township last winter, which brought $800 each in the fur market. Grand Rapids.—Despondent because he could not find work, Frederick Chapman, aged sixty-three, who recently moved here with his aged wife from Evart, swallowed chloroform. He was practically blind. Physicians hope to save his life. Garyllng.—Frank C. Cram and Roy Brown, Frederic boys, came home from Sunday school and taking their 22-callber rifles, went out In the back yard to shoot at a mark. They Btuck up an old boat paddle for a target, both boys kneeling down to take aim. The Cram boy, who was slight ly in front of the Brown boy, fired first, and then arose quickly to see where he had hit. Just as he did so. Brown pulled the trigger of his own gun. The bullet hit Cram just back of the ear, killing him almost instant ty. :« •1 * Y o u r s for uniformity. Y o u r s for greatest l e a v e a i j g power. Y o u r s for never failing results.

Old age is a disease and we should fight it off as we do any other malady.

Lady ANsi^tnni in Attendance Calls Answered Day or Night Gregory Telephone—(i, 1L-1N Gregory, Michigan HOW A FEUD AROSE By EVAN CAMERON Copyright by American P r e s s Aaao- , elation, 1911. Quarrels ure like tires. First thenis u spark, then a tiny flame, then a snapping, then u blazing tire, then u roaring conflagration. And the wors kind of quarrels are those between friends. Two pioneers, Daniel Simpson am' Uenry Underwood, emigrated with their families to the fur west and en tered land owned by the government They had been schoolmates and owntv farms side by side. There was no occasion for a dispute to arise between them so long as they remained in the east, for their boundaries had been surveyed and Axed generations ago, and, being well fenced, the stock of neither could trespass upon the other's premises. Therefore their affection for each other grew stronger, and the families were further bound together by an engagement between Eliza Simpson and .''rank Underwood, the oldest daughter of the one and oldest son of the other. The two friends each entered a quarter section of land, the two farm* being side by side. Simpson's land was more largely covered with tim ber than Underwood's, and this fact. became a wedge between them. A railroad soon after their settlement 01. the land was projected to run alongside their property, and It became ar once apparent that the timber would be valuable for ties. As soon as this was learned Underwood became interested in his boundary line cover! u._ as much of a wood as it could be stretched to cover. living on the line between the two properties. One morning Simpson went out toward his friend's property and found Underwood driving stakes on what he considered to be his own land. He protested, and Underwood declared that that was the dividing line and he was intending to begin the next morning to fell trees In order to be ready to supply the railroad with ties as soon as there was need. Simpson declared that every tree lie cut beyond a certain point would be robbery. Then Underwood called Simpson a pig and the tight was on. The next morning the ex-friends met on the lin»' of difji.ire. each having an ax with which to tell limber, and before the dar wa< over lnste-'d of fell raring trees they iVil»-d each other T.\s ther coinl'i!; h:>nic to supper, their re spective fai.'ilies vent out to look f<>> them and found their dead bodies, (hi skulls of both beh g cloven. The trouble threw 21 gloom over tntlfamilies, h was esinnhilly deploniblion account of the ^11^11 gerneut of tintwo young f**ople. i'rnuk Underwool iu order that there might he no niorr trouble, sent to the county seat for a surveyor, who Used the boundary- it turned out that neither his father nor his futher's friend was right, the true bouudry being a diagonal line with tinone ubout whirl] they contended. Nor was this all that was mistake:) in the matter. The disputauts hud not long been buried when the railroad to whose contractors they had expected to sell so many ties was discovered to be running the line several miles away from the property of either and through its own tiuiberland. One night when Eliza Simpson was sleeping at home she was awakened by the sound of axes being driven luto the trunks of trees. The sound seemed to her to come from the direction of the l>oundary line. She snt up in bed and listened. The ax men were apparently vying with each other, each striving to strike more rapidly. Eliza got up and went into her moth er's room to awaken her. but by the time she had succeeded in doing so the sound had ceased. The next morning when she had told of what she had heard all considered that she had been dreaming. Nevertheless she declared that she had heard the axes distinctly, the sounds corning from a point between the Simpsons' and the Underwoods' dwellings. When she told her lover about it he declared that if any such sounds led existed lie would have heard them more readily than his fiancee. since the Underwood house was nearer the line on which the timber bordered rli:m the Simpsons'. Eliza, who was positive as to what she had heard. gave him a sharp reply, and he left her in anger. Eliza Simpson heawT again the sounds of axes on the, boundary line. Since the double murder of the heads of fh». two families the conditions had been embarrassing, nnd the day after Eliza's having heard tbe mysterious ax men again Mrs. Simpson went to Mrs. Underwood and told of the oc eurronce. Mrs. Underwood had been under a strain ever since the catastrophe and upon Mrs. Simpson's visit lost her self control completely, declaring that she believed Simpson had murdered her husband, who acted simply in self defense.

People think it is because the application is soothing. But the movement Is purely involuntarily, like winking. The man cannot help it. Thefuel is that nature knows what a man is apt to say under such circumstance* aiid so has provided him with an auto uiatic stopper. Whenever he hits hh thumb hard enough to hurt—and it doesn't take a very hard blow almost to kill a man when he is doing some thing he doesn't like to do—by a sort of interlocking system his thumb flies luto his mouth, and for tbe critical moment speech is cut oft.

Did you ever stop, la your ardent ceremonial, to consider that you were perpetuating one of the most hallowed and exalted of religious ordinances handed down through the ages in rendering such tender homage to this "orphan plant -or wondrous birth?" '- .And would it not surprise you to "learn that our very word "marry," and that cur most Impassioned of the tpraces of Terpsichore—the waltz—: a r e traditionally enmeshed in the can* • y tendrils of the pearly-berried mistletoe? The mistletoe is a freak plant, a parasite or excrescence. In Its embryonic period it Is said to defy the • l a w s o f gravitation by pushing its Tad teles in the.,opposite direction—to t h e generality of plants. Not only Its berries but its leaves grow it* clusters o f three united on "'one stock, hence- Its sacred place In religious rites as * symbol of the Holy Trinity. It was believed by the Druids snd other ancient sects In northern and mmst&m—Europe—that—any—tree—to- -which the mistletoe attaches Itself is selected by Qod himself for special favor, and that all that grows on it 1B s e n t direct from heaven. Contrary to the general belief, It Is 'found more rarely on the oak tree than on the apple, ash, elm, poplar, •willow and hawthorn, and it Is due to -scarcity-that it was vestecT'wTflT m ft 'r- « it ••:'., ;. •••, •exceptional reverence when discovered elinglng to the sacred tree of the Druids—a name derived from the "Qreek_!i^rd_dr us, -ur—druG^-naeaningan oak. Says Pliny: ,rWh«n It (mistletoe -growing upon an oak) Is discovered It i s treated with great ceremony. They called It by a name (guthll, or gutheyl —good heal), which in their language signifies the curer of all Ills." After Jthey have well and duly prepared their festival cheer under the tree, they bring hither a milk-white cow a n d a bullock, hitherto unyoked; then t h e priests In white vesture climb into t h e tree and prune off the sacred herb with a gold hook, bill or sickle, the branches falling beneath into a white aagura theet. They must never touch, the ground." The^ common people rd main at a distance, formed in a drew, -while the priests approach with trembling awe the bloody victims/which were carried, around the omen fire. After this the. animals are slaughtered aa a sacrifice—doubtless to the godd e s s of fecundity, for the mistletoe is m symbol of the prolific. In the myths of all nations we find a "holy tree," a "world tree." Among t h e Druids, as well as among other creeds, this tree was the oak; and it It a very interesting thing to knoy that our word church—from kirk— finds its root in quervus, the generic name for the oak.

The Yuletide custom of decking our churches and our homes with boughs, wreaths and garlands finds Its antecedence in heathen sanctuaries. The spirit of Christmas is most magnanimously manifested in York, England, where they carry mistletoe boughs to the high altar of the cathedral and proclaim "a public and universal liberty, pardon and freedom to all sorts of inferior and wicked people." They suspend it under the chancel arch and bear it" to the city gates, toward the four quarters of heaven. In the varied nomenclature of the word "mistletoe," according to the nationalities concerned, do we discover the magical virtues with which the weird plant is invested. Dr. Johnson says the word is derived from mistion, state of being mingled, tod or toe bush, in German it Is mlstel, mixed, and Saxon tan (Danish tiene, Dutch teene), twig, sprig. In Armorloan, Welsh and Irish it is all yach, or Its equivalent for all heal; and Pliny calls it omnia sanans, a term of slmltar import. — In upper Germany on Christmas morning they go about knocking on each other's doors, shouting "Gut hyl," the synonym for the Druid name. In Urlttany it is the herb de la Croix, which heals fevers and gives strength for wrestling. At the time of George f.-4t-was called iig&um sanota crucls— wood of the holy cross—so highly were its medicinal properties esteemed. Hung about the neck it renders witches powerless. It is used In houses to drive out evil spirits. It is an amulet against poisons, and the inhabitants of Elgin and Moray keep it as- charms. Throughout ~Brrtaanta~ir had a place assigned to It in every kitchen, and a young man was deemed to have the right to kiss any lassie Cpnght hpnaath thft rhgrtahed bra&ethand Norse traditions all emphasize the exorcising, as well a« the amatory propensities of the waxen spray. The Scandinavians have it consecrated to Freya, or Freyja—"from whom r.ows every blessing, the winning smile, the melting kiss." She is the Venus of the ,Noise pantheon, the goddess of love* of peace,' Joy, laughter, frultfulnesB, bringing Increase "to field and stall," and also the tutelary deity presiding over nuptials and child birth. A popular myth relates how Daldur, the wisest and noblest of the gods, is a victim of the inveterate hatred of Lokl, the Satan of the Eddas. The demon is bent on the destruction of the pre-eminently good god, so he and his emissaries. begin their persecutions by throwing missiles of all descriptions at BaSdur, all of which prove harmless, since the deity la under the protection of his mother, Freyja. In desperation Lokl. disguised as an old woman, is admitted to $ £ v celestial abode of Freyja, who In#0-; cently betrays the fact tbat*aU thiags had taken an oath to protect-Baldur excepting the mistletoe, which, being a parasite, was too feeble to harm. In secret joy the demon hastens back to Baldur, on the way fashioning an arrow of mistletoe, which soon pierces the heart of the divinity. After a sojourn in Hell—or Hades—the peaceful abode of the dead, the Saviour is restored to life, and on his resurrection he consecrates the mistletoe to Freyja—all cf which enshrouds divine truths In image and symbol. Astrologicaily Venus governs the mistletoe, as well as the lips, and all the tender demonstrations of Love, so let us ever propitiate the benignant goddess and— "Hang up Love's mistletoe over the earth, And let us kiss under it all the year round."

Last year we bought a large, fiat clothes basket, draped It with white cheese cloth, and trimmed it with holly, and then filled it - with our Christmas packages for the family. We went Into the room one at a time and deposited our gifts, and when the pile was completed, spread a large sheet of holly crepe paper on top. We sat around the dining room table with the basket'in the center; and the youngest member of the family took the gift 8 from the- basket.

SOME CRUEL AND UNUSUAV Double Penalty Threatened for Those Who Dared to Interfere With the Wires. Rotoura has been laughing over the wording of a notice that has been placed by the public works department on some of the electric wire posts on the road to Okere, in New Zealand. Some time a^go a Maori youth, who seemed to have a misguided taste for experimenting, threw a long piece of cable over the electric wires that run to Rotoura from the power station at the Ogere Falls. The town was at once plunged in darkness for two or three hours until the mischief had been located. The dusky and youthful experimenter was carpeted in the court and fined for his scientific enthusiasm, and the department put up this notice: "Any person climbing the electric light poles or damaging the insulators are liable to a fatal shock and a penalty of £ 10."—Tit-Bits. 8 U R E N O T .

A woody, difficultly digestible combination such as these two feeds contains too great an excess of dry woody fiber which after long continued uso is apt to lead to serious digestive troubles. • On' the other hand, however, if these feeds are made more palatable and supplemented by small quantities of other feeds good results may be secured. English and Soetch feeders use straw with roots and Borne meal for dairy oows and beef cattle. Much can be done to make coarse feeds more palatable, Jt>ut J he \m£X pied in the winter and tbe extra work is more, than justified when hay is Wintering of his cattle. Under the f w o ^ b « 0 per ton, concentrates ¢25 term farmer in this connection we include more particularly those engaged in general farming rather than the dairy or beef producing specialist. The general farmer' Is not so apt to prepare for emergencies as the specialist. Following the severe drought of the past season there is a marked shortage of farm feeds accompanied by unusually high prices for the same. Under these conditions it is a common practice for the farmer to dispose of most of his cattle at a sacrifice rather than purchase the necessary high-priced commercial feeds. Where this is done a long period usually elapses before the farm is Yestocked. A great deal can be accomplished in the economic wintering of dry cows, Blockers, and even young growing animals if the coarser, less valuable farm crops are properly prepared and utilized. There is much feeding value in tbe straw of such crops as oats, wheat, beardless and hulless barley, cornstalks, corn fodder, etc., if properly utilized. But to $30 and straw $5 to $10. The following plan was employed oner winter an our home, farm when feeds were scarce and high priced. The, feeds. available, were limited quantities of wheat, oat, barley and pea straw, a goodly quantity of corn fodder and roots and a very limited amount of grain. All coarse fodder was run through the cutting box dropping Into a feed room 18 feet square and nine feet high, as follows: A small load of corn fodder would be cut first and spread on the floor followed by a thin layer of pulped roots followed by a small load of cut straw and then a thin layer of meal on which was put a layer of hay. These layers were then moistened with water supplied by a hose from the barn tank. Succeeding layers were placed upon these in order till the feed room was filled. This feed was consumed with great relish and even more so after it had begun to heat a little. There was absolutely no waste of feed and the cattle, numbering about 60 head old and young, came out in good Bhape In the spring. very undesirable results have be-fit required t w 0 half-days per week to putting hay, straw, corn. s.talks, etf. $roug%&»*fl|<t tbe same'and* m *lth It. ,Of> ist^bffli ,J1« ftea aj^-ibe .farm-. «p5ulty*opfiu: prepare the feed, the power being procured from an old-fashioned sweep power, now replaced by the more convenient steam or gas engines. The litter used was sawdust procured from a near-by mill. The extra labor involved 1¾ thus preparing the feed was justified In utilizing every available rough scrap as market quotations were ranging about the prices heretofore given. Ordinarily the farmor does not have the variety of rough feeds used in the illustration. Every farmer with live stock to winter over should have silage or roots, or even both. There are very few farmers who do not have time in winter to prepare the coarse crop products and render them mor« palatable and nourishing for their stock, - Those caught by ttre-serious situation of the present season should Jnot in the future neglect to provide succulence to be fed with the straw and corn stalks as an emergency ra ?tlon. i^WlLBUR P. -NEi' .«j>u..»iiMT.o«<«MiKuiaiB»ain*&a6fCCByw -awac Joy goes; but Sorrow stays To sanctify our d a y s - Joy Is the moment's flush Of mingled sound and sense, And Sorrow Is the hush When deeper thing* commerce; It has a grace to give To this life that we live.

Sluggish bowels will be followed by Idss of appetite, restlessness during sleep, Irritability and a dozen and one similar evidences of physical disorder. At the first sign pf such disorder give the child a teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at nlsht on retiring and repeat the dose the following night If necessary—more than that will scarcely be needed. You will find that the chUd will recover its accustomed good spirits at once and will eat and sleep normally. This remedy is a vast Improvement over salts, cathartics, laxative waters and similar things, which are altogether too powerful for a child. The homes of Mrs. Lu.Grunwald, 18 Perkins St., Detroit, Mich., and Mrs. J. P. MeLellan, Fountain, Mich., are always supplied with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and with them, as with thousanfts of others, there is no substitute for this grand laxative. It is really more than a laxative, for It contains superior tonic properties which help to tone and strengthen the stomach, liver and bowels so that after a brief use of, It all laxatives can be dispensed with and nature will do its own work. Anyone wishing to make a trial of this remedy before buylnK it in the regular way of a druggist at fifty cents or one dollar a large bottle (family size) can have a sample bottle sent to the home free of charge by simply addressing Dr. W.

As scene after scene passed, the woman'? enthusiasm increased, and at length, turning to her husband, she exclaimed: "Oh, Sandy, this is really splendid. I could jist sit here all my days."

"I believe he would have shaken me, if he hadn't rushed out in time to prevent himself from doing it," she continued, the ever ready dimples venturing out of their hiding places, but she banished them severely. "I'll never, never forgive him, even though he asks me to, which, of course, he won't! And he calls me stubborn!"

In answer to her impatient summons, she was quickly connected with Brown & Co.'s book store. "Have you sent out those books that were ordered for Mr. William Dunning?" she asked anxiously. The answer evidently pleased her, for she breathed a sigh of relief. "That's all right; I'm glad you haven't, for I have changed my mind about them. Please cancel the order." Marjorie hung up the receiver with an air of triumph. "There, I'm glad I thought of that! Billy would have construed a Christmas present into an abject apology," she said, her indignation rising at the very thought of such a thing. But when she went back to her parcels and picked up the little twig of holly she had intended tucking away Into one of them, her face softened. "I know that isn't the right kind of a Christmas spirit to have, but I cant have Billy thinking that I am admitting I was wrong, when I know I wasn't," she argued with herself. The joyous ringing of Christmas' beihr and merry 8heratB~oMrer'ygqsger sisters and brothers, when they discovered their stockings the next morning, only served to emphasize her depression. "Billy never loved me; if he really and truly did he never could treat me like this," she told herself as she stood looking with unBeeing_ey_gB_il-Jthesnowy Christmas world. Just then a young man, fairly tearing around the corner, arrested her attention. It was no less a person than Billy himself who was coming, post haste, to lee her. Marjorie looked at him In wonder. What had come over Billy? Whytnfs sudden contrition, when, she admitted it now for the first time, even to herself she had been greatly, if not altogether, to blame for their quarrel. "O, Billy, I am so glad you came."

"You didn't think I'd be so narrow and unforgiving as to Ignore your dear little peace offering? I brought one t>f the books with me to read something to you," he told her, and diving ins* his pocket he produced a little copy of "Romeo and Juliet" Marjorie was surprised for a second, then it flashed over her what it all meant. Brown & Co. had forgotten to cancel her order and Billy had received the books. Billy had construed her sending them into a humble plea Tor forgiveness. He most probably wouldn't have come at all if it hadn't been for that She stiffened visibly and all her love was swallowed up In a wave of rebel- Uous pride. 'Ton are mistaken/' she commenced eoldly, but Billy interrupted her. 'Here, I have found It "Tly bounty Is as boundless as the ICy love as deep, the more I give to thee.' "The more Z have, for both are infinite/' he was reading, and the simple beauty of the lines awoke something In Marjorie stronger than pride or reisntment and she only smiled when he idded tenderly: "lly Christmas greet* tag to you, dear."

An old city provision dealer took his son into partnership. They organized a rapid transit delivery and sold a lot of provisions. But they fell out, and the son started in business on his own account, aud ttere was keen rivalry between them. One day the old man sent for his son. "My boy," be said, "it is neither seemingly nor profitable that we should compete this way; let us divide the city between us. Where you sell, I won't; and where I sell, you must not." "But/' said the SOB,"you have most of-the rich houses now; that won't leave much for me." "Well, of course," replied the father, "I'd like to keep as many of my old customers as I can; but come—I'll give you two-thirds of the city; you're young and can cover the ground better than I—only you must lef'nie choose my one-third. I'll give yofc a lot of the rich district all the same." The boy thought: "I don't keep mi$cb fine wines and other costly goods; and, anyhow, I'd rather sell for cash in the poorer sections than wait Cor the accounts of the rich." So be consented and an agreement was drawn up and signed. '*Now," said the old man, "you can have all the vacant lots."

When Mr. Lawton returned from a long conference with his son in the barn, Mrs. Lawton was In a fever of Impatience. "Well, did you find out what's the matter with him, Henry?" she asked, eagerly. "He's feeling kind of low-spirited," said Mr. Lawton. "He's made a bad investment of some money." "Speculating!" groaned the mother. "There, I knew we never ought to have let him go to the city alone to wort, no matter if 'twas a good offer. What's he been gambling in?" "Well, 'twasn't gambing, exactly," aaid Mr. Lawton, mildly. "He met a young lady that lived ten miles out, and be liked her so well that he bought him a flfty-ride ticket to her place, and the fourth time he went she told him that she was engaged to another young man. "He's my own boy, and be isn't one to let his affections spoil his life, so he told mo that when ho found out she was going to marry a man right In her own town and that he had business that took him Into the city now and again, he sealed the ticket right up in an envelope and laid it away to give 'em for a wedding present.

No word has moved with the times more thanJlpanlCx" Long ago in ancient Greece it was a mild fear inspired by mysterious sights and - -sounds among—tire-mountains a~nfl~vaTT leys by night, which were attributed to the god Pan. Nowadays it has a by no means supernatural significance on the stock exchange as it nearly did in Berlin the other day. "Panic fear" was the original expression, and in shortening it to "panic" we have all boy who calls his "comic paper" a "comic." Shaftesbury, two hundred years ago, would have used the word for any contagious feeling that seized upon masses of men. "There are many Pannfcks in Mankind besides merely that of Fear, And then In Religion also Pannick."

Sentenced for Life; John J. Gets 15 Years. T;he full text of the confession by James 9. McNamara, given to District Attorney Fredericks, was made public by Mr. Fredericks. It follows: "I, J a m e s B. McNamara, defendant In the case of the peopk', having heretofore pleaded guilty to the crime of murder, dt-alre to "make tins ^statement of facts: "And this is the truth. On the night of Wept. 30. 1'JIO. at 5:45 p. m., I placed in Ink Alley, a portion of the Times ijuildlng, a sultva**: containing 16 sticks of SO per cont dynamite, pet to exlloUe at 1 o'clock the next morning'. "It was my intention to Injure the building and scaru the owners. I did not intend to take the life of anyone. I sincerely regret t h a t these unfortunate men lobt their lives. If the giving of my life would bring them back I would ffladyly give it. In fact, In pleading guilty to murder in the first degree. I have placed my life in the hands ot the state. (Signed.) "JAMES B. McNAMARA." The confession covers one side of an ordinary shc^t of paper and was written with a fountain pen supplied by one of the attorneys. It is probably the only written statement of the case that will ever be made by the writer or his brother, John J. Mc- Namara, who pleaded guilty to dynamiting the Llewellyn Iron Works. John Joseph McNamara, secretary of the bridge and structural iron workers, a confessed and sentenced felon, is now with his younger brother, James Batuna McNamara, in San Quelntin prison, For 15 years John J. will serve within the same walls for his confessed part In dynamiting plots that have reached from ocean to ocean. James B. McNamara, the' brother who confessed he did the "job" his elder brother planned, and who said he set the bomb that destroyed the building of the Los Angeles "pines, when 21 lives were lost, will spend the rest fo his life in confinement. The two men were sentenced by Judge Walter N. Bordwell. Led into court by sheriffs, the two men waited while a clerk was sent scurrying out to get chairs for them. The prison pallor on the face of the younger man had been displaced by a nervous flush. Nervously chewing the gum between his teeth he looked around the court room with quick catlike glance's, his head drooping forward. Outside the nervous toying wkh his hands at a watch chain that dangled from his waistcoat, he displayed no sign of nervousness. A striking figure was John Joseph McNamara, the elder brother, big, strong and distinguished, as he stood wafting for the day's events. "Both men were dressed with extreme care. Both wore black. J. J. might have been an attorney, to judge by his appearance. He wore a high collar around which was draped a black tie. Presently the chairs were procured and the m<?.n sank into them. Elaborate prec utions were taken to prevent any demonstration, or attack on any of the actors in the closing scene of the great drama. The sentence was passed in a1 small court loom, near the jail, so that the men could be brought across a "Bridge of Sighs," and not have to be escorted through the streets. There were over a humtred "doputies, ba\Iiffs and policemen guarding the room and the corridors. At one time the room was cleared, and all who afterwards entered it, who might in any way be suspected, were searched, A heavy^ bar was laid across the door, so that there might be no "rushing" of the guards there.

The Standard Oil company of New Jersey, sometimes called the f ather_.of trusts-and perhaps the mostcelebrated corporation, in the world, will no longer control the affairs, as the holding company, of more than 30 corporations in various branches of the oil business, Beginning December 1, these subsidiaries, which under the decree of the United State3 supreme court must conduct independently the various enterprises, assumed entire management of their own affairs.

" CAN Low Form of E.xplqslve Used, Where-. in Report Differs From Findings of the Samson Board. The United States battleship Maine, which sank beneath the waters of Havana harbor in February, 1898, as the result of an explosion, WSB blown up from the outside. This was announced late yesterday by the naval board which has been examining the wreck. The finding confirms the report of the original investigators, who made a careful examination of the wreck shortly after the disaster. The statement given out by the navy department is brief, Secretary Meyer does not believe it necessary to issue any extended explanation of the board's exclusion, beyond the flat statement that an exterior explosion was responsible for the logs of the warship and the lives of many men. The statement follows: Statement on Finding. "The injuries to the bottom of the Maine were caused by the explosion of a charge of a low form of explosive exterior to the ship between frames 28 and 31, strake B, port side. This resulted in igniting and exploding the contents of the six-inch reserve magazine, A-14-M, said contents including a large quantity of black powder. The more or less complete explosion of the contents of the remaining forward magazine followed. The magazine explosions resulted in the destruction of the vessel." The shock was felt throughout the country, when", on the morning of Feb. 18,1898, the news was flashed that the battleship Maine had teen blown up and sunk. In the harbor of Havana. Other great, tragedies have stirred the country, but none possessed so many dramatic elements and possibilities of tremendous consequents as did this. The first sensation of the nation felt even before horror over the loss of the brave seamen who had been killed in their hammocks, was v. belief that the explosion was the result of treachery on the part of Spain*. This feeling was so acute that it was with the greatest difficulty that President McKinley and other high officers of the government, prevented immediate demonstrations which would have ihevitably led to war, i <m < • . .

Sir Thomas Shaughnessy of the C&A nadian Pacific Railway Offered $1,00¾ in gold as a prize for the be6t 100 lbe%f:; of wheat, grown on the American tinent, to be competed for at the cent Land Show in New York. In£ makins.the competition open, t a * donor of this handsome prize showed his belief in the superiority of Canadian wheat lands, by throwing the contest open to farmers of all America, both United States and Canada. The United States railways ,were bjr^ no means anxious to have the Cfc^ nadlau. railways represented at th« ; show aaa* a New York paper cam meat* J ing on the results of the competition*.¾. says that they were not to- be blaara^r^ as the Canadians captured the mjfaPV Important prize of the show. ^ ^ The winner of this big wheat priapf* was Mr. Seager Wheeler of Rosthert^' Saskatchewan, and its winning naft:. brought a great deal of eredit OB the - district. The winning wheat was tbe> Marquis variety, and received no more attention from Mr, Wheeler than his other grain, but he is a very particular farmer. Hip farm Is one of th&:' cleanest and best kept in the ftoathern district, and this year he won first prize in a good farm competition which included every feature of farm* ing and every part of the farm. Last winter Wheeler was a prize winner. at the provincial seed fair in Regina. Wheeler Is a firm believer In aow- Ing clean seed of the best quality procurable, consequently his grain la much sought after by the best farmers for seed purposes. Wheeler is an Englishman. He is a pioneer of Rosthern, coming here fifteen years ago. In the last six years be has done much experimenting, par* ticularly In wheat varieties. His farm resembles an experimental farm. A iorrg driveway, lined on both sides with trees, leads to a modest house,, the home of Wheeler, a modest, unassuming man with the appearance of a student rather than a man engaged in commercial pursuits. There are now no free homesteada> to be had in this district, and farm hands are worth from $20 to f40 per acre, which a few years ago were secured by their present owners, either as a free gift or purchased at from $5 to $J3 peY acre.

"He thought he was dealing with Christie Maclaire. He bad some reason for getting her away; getting her where he could exerclBe influence over her." "Yea—yes; but who is Bhe?" "That is what makes the matter so hard to unravel. She doesn't even know herself. Hawley is going to take advantage of her Ignorance in this respect, and convince her that she is the person he wishes her to represent-—but who is the person? If we knew that we might block the game-" Both sat silent, striving to figure out some reasonable explanation. "Do you know of any special papers your father carried?" he asked. "No; none outside his business agreements." "Has any one ever disappeared connected with your family? Did you have an older sister?" /'Fred and I were the only children. Why should you ask that question?" "Because something of that nature would seem to be the only* rational explanation. Your brother must have told Hawley something—some family secret—which he felt could be utilized to his own advantage. Then he saw your picture, and was immediately reminded of the remarkable resemblance between you and Christie Maclaire. Evidently this discovery fitted into bis plan, and made it possible for him to proceed. He has been trying evsr since to get an interview with the -woman, to sound her, and Ilud out what lie can do with her. He has written letters- sufficiently exbring him here. He would tell yoti whatever it was he told Hawley, and that will give us the clue." He picked up his hat from the table, but she rose to her feet, holding forth her bands. "1 cannot thanfc you enough, «Captain Keith," she exclaimed frankly. "You are doing so much, and with no personal interest—" "Oh, but I have." The long lashes dropped over the brown eyes. "What do you mean?" "That I have a personal interest—in yqu, Hope." She stood silent, her bosom rising and falling to rapid breathing. "You don't mind my calling you Hope? I haven't got used to Miss Walte yet." Her eyes met his swiftly. "Of course, not,. Such ceremony would be foolish after all you have done for me. Do—do you call her Christie?" He laughed, clasping her hands closer. "1 assure you no—she is stfictly Miss Maclaire, and." solemnly, "shall t e to the end of the chapter." "Oh, well, I didn't care, only that was what you called her when you were telling me what she said. Are you going?" "Yes, to find Fred; the sooner we can get this straightened out, the better."

No doubt by this time be has fully convinced the girl that ah« Is the rightful heiress to property—si be stated to Scott— valued at over a million dollars. That's a stake worth flghtlng for, and these two will make a hard combination. He's got the papers, or elsims to hava, and they must be the ones stolen from your father.

I the girl who held the door open for his passage Tilth one hand, her other clasped in hie. Interested before, yet forcing himself into indifference now that he knew who she really waa, the man made full aurrender. It was a struggle that kept him from claspini the slender figure in his arms, and pouring forth the words of teaderness which he sternly choked back. This was neither the time, nor the place, yet his eyes must have spoken, for Hope's glance fell, and her cheeks grew crimson. "I do not need to pled|e you to return this time, ao I?" she questioned, her voice trembling. "No," he answered, "nor any time The bail was deserted, but a few men loitered tn the office. Keith recognised none of the faces, and did not atop to, make any inquiries of the dark. It was growing dark, the lights already burning, and from the plashtag of dropf on*the window, it must be raining outside. Hawley would surely have ended bis call upon Miss Maclaire long before thl#, and left the hotel. However iBtereettftg his com* mtmieatton might have proven, see aajiet nUAer.eTaaiai for supper and rest- As to the result of that interview there could be little doubt. Providing the gambler possessed the proper papers he would have small difficulty in convincing the girl that she was indeed the one Bought Keith had probed sufficiently into her mind to feel assured that her inclination was to sida.with Hawley. Under all the circumstances' this was natural enough, and he did not blame her. He glanced into the bar-room as be passed, not in any anticipation, but merely from the vigilance which becomes second nature- upon the frontier. Hawley stood leaning against the bar, where he could see any one passing through the hall. The eyes of the two men met, but the gambler never moved, never changed his attitude, although*Keith noted that his right hand was hidden beneath the skirts of his long coat. The plainsman drew back, facing his enemy, until he reached the outer door. There was a sneer on Hawley's dark sinister face like an invitation, but a memory of the girl he had just left, and her dependence upon him, caused Keith to avoid an encounter. He would fight thfs affair out In a different way. As the* door opened and he slipped forth into the gloora, he brushed against a man apparently Just entering. The gleam of light fell for an instant upon the face of the other—it wya ticotty with the> rtd moustactie. They had been watching for him then—what for? Hawley on the inside, and this man Scott without, were waiting to determine when he left the hotel; would 'probably dog his footsteps to discover where he went. Keith loosened his revolver, so as to be assured he could draw quickly, and slipped back into the shadow of the steps, his eyes on the door of the hotel. There was a cold, drizzly rain tailing, the streets almost deserted, appearing sodden and miserable where the lights shone forth through saloon windows. One or two men, seeking supper, coat collars turned up and bats drawn low over their eyes, climbed the rickety steps and went in, but no one came out. Perhaps he was mistaken as to the purpose of those fellows; they may have desired merely to know when he left, or Scott's return Just at that moment might have been an accident. To be sure, the hotel possessed a back exiU but he could not cover both ends of the building, and muBt take Ms chuhces. It wa3 too wet and disagreeable to remain crouched there, now •thttt-H-w^B-_evtd'ein~th"e'ro~wM'~"ho"Thtentlon of following him. With hand on the butt of his gun, suspicious and watchful, yet with «ecarcely a faster beat to his heart, Keith straightened tip, and began splashing bis way through the mud down the street, He knew where Wllloughby would be most likely found at this hour—with cronies' -at the "Tenderfoot"—and Ire meant to discover the boy, and make him confess to Hope the truth. Matters had now reached a point where longer delay was dangerous. Sheridan was seemingly dead, the long street silent, gloomy, black, except for those streams of saloon light shining across pools of water. A few wanderers ploughed through the muck, dim uncertain shapes appearing and vanishing in the gloom. He had gone a block and over, the struggle against the elements leaving him forgetful of ail else, when a man reeled out of some dimly lit shack to his right, and staggered drunkenly forward a few feet In advance. He could barely distinguish the fellows's outlines, giving little thought to the occurrence, for the way was unusually black along there, the saloon opposite having shades drawn. Suddenly a flash of red fire spurted Into the night, with a sharp report. It waa so close at hand it blinded him, and he flung up one arm over his eyes, and yet, In that single instant, he perceived the whole picture as revealed by the red name. He saw the man in front go down in a heap, the projection of the building from behind which the shot came, the end df a wagon sticking forth Into the street which bad concealed the assassin. The blinding flash, the shock ot that sudden discharge, for a moment held him motionless; then he leaped forward, revolver In hand, sprang around the end of the wagon, and ruahed down the dark allay between two buildings. He could see nothing, but some one was running recklessly ahead of Him, and be fired (n the direction of the sound, the leaping apurt of flame yielding a dim outline %f the fugutive. Three times he pressed the trigger; then there was nothing to shoot at—the fellow had faded away Into the black void of prairie. Keith stood there baffled, staring about into the gloom, tha smoking revolver in his hand. The sound of men's voices behind waa all that reached him, and feeling the uaelessnese of further pursuit, he retraced his way tack through the narrow passage.' (TO BE CONTXKUCD.) , •> at* th^TfMdar*, aad wooid jejaire Ua* Pontiac—The case of (Jordon Wi'st, one of the city policemon. against the board of supervisors of Oakland county waa decided in the circuit court in favor of the policeman. West was one of tho officers Whose bill for arrests was disallowed by the su^ pervlsors at their October session. West's case waa taken as a test, and the final result will govern In all the crises. The euurt took it from the jury and directed a verdict for West for the amount claimed. The county, through Prosecutor Pelten, contended that there is no provision in the statutes which provides for the payment of fees to officers except deputy sheriffs and constables. Saginaw.—Having an estate valued at over 550,000, Mrs. Helen A. Ouold, who died a few days ago, willed the Saginaw Oeueral hospital, of which she was a director since its founding, 13,000, the proceeds to be used in maintaining a bed in that institution. Other bequests are |300 for the Home of the Friendless, $4,000 for the Woman's Home and Woman's Foreign Missionary societies of the First Presbyterian church, of which she was a member, $1,000 for an Alma college scholarship, and also funds to care for the family lot in Oakwood cemetery. All funds are to be held in trust, the revenue to go for the various public bequests. Ypsilanti—Daniel L.

Tollemache tells In "Nuts and Chestnuts," Is that entitled, "The Wrong Envelope." Mr. M , a missionary, shortly before leaving England, received two letters— one from Archbishop Tait asking him to dine, and the Other from the secretary of a religious society, a very old friend, asking him to preach. He accepted the archbishop's InvlAtion, and at the same time wrote to the secretary, but put the letters into tha wrong envelopes. After the dinner at Lambeth the archbishop said to him; "Mr. M » do you always answer your dinner Invitations In the Bame way?" "I do n.ot U--"r??t?.!l'Ji >'0,ir grace," The letter, which was tlien shuWh to/ Tho missionary, ran thus: "You old rascal! Why did you not ask me before?

DEPOT BURNED H « t A t Uakeland bast Wednesday Afternoon €ftortly after dinner last Wed. nesday, fire was discovered in the roof of the depot at Lakeland, near the stove pipe which served for a chimney. With Zukey Lake only a few feet away there was no way to put the water to use and it was not long before the boUdiny was seen to be doomed and all attention was given to the institution have been worked oat work of rescuing what could be TOpoved of ^ts contents. Host of the records of late da te were secured, with the telegraph instruments, etc. but the depot was a complete loss. The burned building was an old rattle shack good for Hamburg Junction in its old days but entirely outgrown by the progressive summer resort of Lakeland. It will probably be re placed by one which will be better fitted for the needs of the place.

The president of the United States bblda the earliest New Year's Day reception. U ifl In. the broadest sense a public reception, for every American jof whatever creed, color or station in jilfe Is welcomed into the big White House to greet the chief executive land bis wile, who by custom as fixed i'e« that' of the holiday calling, Is ifcnowp as "the flrat lady in the land." !The "wedding garment" is not necesiamry for the visitor at the >Vhite (House on the first day of the year^ Hrhe callers come • literally some in krngs and some in velvet gowns. The president by force of the eusrlaw of precedence is obliged to lde his reception into two parts, ne for officialdom and one for the '"laity." Precedence would not bo jfluch a powerful thing in Washington (were it not for the presence here of jeo many foreigners to whom prece- — jdenre is everything. The representatives of foreign governments would italce instant offenao and also would fcake means to show it if they were- - ijoot given the exact place in line to Which their Bervice rank entitles them. There Is one thing which foreigners have to forget while in the (diplomatic service. Their social rank jat home counts for nothing In diplo taatic elreleB.

Ordinary official mat- >ters must wait the coming of the second day of the year for consideration. When the first office duties of the morning are over the president return* to the White House proper, where he takes * l s place in the big east room with his, wife at hln right hand. Ily the special invitation of Mrs. Taft the wives of some of the more prominent •officials of Washington, with some of her close •acquaintances among the resident Washington families, are asked to become members of the -receiving party. The cabinet women always are present at the White House reception, taking their places at the right of Mrs. Taft in order af cabinet rank. The wife of the secretary of state takes the first place, and the wife of the •secretary of commerce and labor the last place. Cabinet positions rank in the order of the creation of the departments. With the president and in full uniform are the ?ouag army officer and navy officer aides. It Is Major Archibald Butt of the army who is Mr. l a f t ' s chief personal military attendant. It Is Itajor Butt's duty to repeat the name of each (vest as he or ebe is presented to the president, tad a bard duty it Is, for the major must catch *very whispered name as the visitor gives It to tlm and catch It correctly, for If he makes a Ittstake he Is likely to give offense to some person who thinks that his name ought to be known oven without the asking.

The members of the supreme court and the members of both houses of congress follow with army and navy officers in their handsome dress uniforms treading fast on their heels. Some one might ask why the army and navy do not take precedence of the civilian officials at New Year's receptions and other formal functions. To get the answer to tho question it is only necessary to remember that in a republic the military power is always supposed to bo subordinate to the civil power. The army ranks the navy because it was of earlier creation. The highest ranking officers of the army today are the lieutenant generals of the service, all of whom are now on the retired list, but their rank holds, nevertheless, because, although retired, they are still in the military service. Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, who unquestionably is the best-known living American soldier, resides in Washington. He still takes a most active interest in government affairs. About eighteen months ago the general was thrown from his horse while riding along the Potomac drive. Miles is a splendid horseman and it is said that his mishap was the first of the kind which bad happened to him in all the years of his service. It was feared that he would die from his injuries, but his splendid natural constitution, reinforced by the strength which comes from an abstemious life and from campaigning in the free air of the fields, helped him on to rapid recovery. Ho shows no sign today of the accident. The first officer In the holiday line of the soldiers still on the active list of the army is Major General Leonard Wood, now the chief of staff of the United States array. Only fourteen years ago Wood was a surgeon of the service, ranking as a captain. He became colonel of Rough Riders through the Influence of Theodore Roosevelt, and later McKlniey made him, a brigadier general of the line, from which position he rose to be a major generaL By the deaths or the retirements of ranking major generals, Wood is now at the head of the army There are three hundred army officers stationed in Washington., Every one of them, unless on sick report, Is compelled to he in line at the New Year's reception. A few days before the holiday an order Is Issued by the general commanding that ait officers of tho District of Columbia subject 'to duty shall pay their tespects to the president of the United states on the morning of the year's first day. If an 2& offlce* fails to put t i ,1b , ^ ^ * ****** appearance he is likely to be called to account for disobedience, a serious offense. The army in Its commissioned ranks is represented in Washington by details to general staff, to quartermaster, to commissary, to ordnance, to engineer and to arcillery work. Moreover, there are many officer students in the city who are taking "strategy" courses at the war colleges. The highest ranking officer of the active list of either armed service in Washington today is Admiral George Dewey. He holds his active rank for life. He is long past the general retiring age which is fixed for the navy at sixty-two years, but an act creating him full admiral carried with it the delegated right to remain on the active list as long as he should choose. Dewey is still in active service, although he no longer goes to sea. There Is no army officer of equal rank with Dewey. An admiral ranks with a general and there has been no full general of tho service since the days of the last great trio—Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. The official visitors to the White House on New Year's Day form In separate lines, the members of each department of government taking positions by themselves. The lines radiate from the front door of the executive mansion In a dozen different directions. The multitude of officials and sub-officials is so great that it would seem it would take hours for the president to greet each of Uncle Sam's servants separately and to call him by name, but the arrangements are perfect for expediting the line of march past what~might be called the reviewing stand. In two hours at the most the last official has been greeted and then the "laymen" are admitted -to--the presidential preae4ice^_Xear_Ailer-yearthn: sands of Washlngton_residents and visitors from afar take advantage of the holiday to" shake the president's hand and to exchange a word of greeting. Men, women and children are in the line. Some of the men In frock coats and Bilk hats, some of the women In fetching morning apparel, but for the most part it is the workaday portion of the populace which files into the great east room to say the Happy New Year word, Colored people are numerous, for ln~"Washington they form at least" one-third of the population, and many of them seek th'e White House on the holiday. It is a pic- All was a."son of the sheik, and was a handsome young cavalier, although the desert sun had burned him almost as black as a negro. His costume was that of a regular Turkish soldier-—a dirty blue coat with tarnished brass buttons, dirtier blue trousers just short enough to show u considerable amount of dirty brown ankle above the dirty yellow slippers. But, as a free son of the desert All, refused to wear the fez of Turkish supremacy, and bound his flowing kafuyyeh with the horsehair ring of the Arabs. A long scimitar, inland with silver and gold, clattered bravely afjainst the saddle-bags, and a rainbow- hued sash was stuck full of antique pistols and short, sharp knives. There was nothing servile or shoddy, however, about Sheik All's bearing; no false regrets lor the boule*- vards and 'buses of an effete civilization; but a supremo content with lif.> as Allah had ordered it. AH had two chief assets: a good horse and a good voice. The former he rode at a breakneck pace, with jiis accoutrements rattling like the pans of a runaway peddler. Once in a while, however, All would graciously wait for the carriage and, after inquiring anxiously concerning our distinguished healths, would canter along with us for a few rods, singing to himself in a pathetic minor key. They were no hackneyed music hall dittieB that he sang, for every Arab is a poet and an improvisator. A moment of intense, frowning thought, and then All would raise his head and gurgle out a new distich of Arabic gutturals, Ho sang of the speed of his horse and of the barley in the khan at. Jericho; he sang of the beautiful weather—it would have been about a hundred in the shade, if there had been any shade—he sang of the magnificent honorableness of the Englezee gentlemen; and especially he praised the Immense oakrsheesh which the generous- travelers would surely bestow at the end' of. his journey,— Lewis Gaston \Leary in Scribner's Magazine. • • .tL'PL'i' • - J».--1-LMJMI 1 Storm Note.

BURNING ITCH WAS CURED turesque crowd and one well worth watching for the charm of the human interest which it holds. As soon as the White House reception Is over the women of the cabinet retire to their own homes, where In turn they hold receptions to which everybody is welcome. The wives of nearly all the public officials also keep open house on the afternoon of New Year's Day. The White House reception 1B the only one given by the president during the year which is in every sense a public reception. No one is barred from admittance. The holiday "reception Is followed by four semi-public receptions given In the evening* and to these admission is only by card.

Not more frequently than once in the span of a man's life does the court of claims at Washington Contribute anything to add to the gayety of nations, but there is something of the light of humor stowed away in ono of the documents which accompany the court's findings in the matter of the claim of Edward Cruselle. heir-at-law of Thomas Cruselle, deceased, against 'TJncle Sam. Mr. Cruselle made a claim for payment for certain supplies furnished to the United States by the tes_tatpr_."for use for the suppression of the 'rebellion.'" as the legal documents stated it. The goods which Mr. Cruselle owned and which were seized by the government and subsequently used by the Union troops as a means of crushing their Confederate brethren were "sixty-seven boxes of fine chew baeeo.' ammunition were "Early Dew," "Choice Gem" and "Peach Leaf." The members of the court rather dodged the tobacco issue. They simply found that Mr. Cruselle was loyal to the United States and that the "Early Dew," "Peach Leaf" and the rest were seized under General Shermaja^ fj^j^us_"fj3rj^^Jib£rallycoimtry" order.

My scalp started to troubIe*me with sores, then the sores healed up, and crusts formed on the top. Then the hair fell out and left me three bald spots the shape of a half dollar. I went to more than one doctor, but could not get any relief, so I started to use the Cuticura Kemedies. I tried one bar of Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment, and felt relieved rijrht away. Now the bald spots have disappeared, and my hair has grown, thanks to the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I highly recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all that are suffering with scalp trou- Dle."

Wedding presents have for years f been a trial both to the donors who cannot think what to send and to the recipients who are compelled to accept what they do not like. A bright notion would be to have a collection at the church (In a bag, not a plate) for the benefit of the young couple, to which each friend might contribute the amount of money he would have spent on a perhaps unappreciated offering. This would save him the terrible worry of choosing something suitable, and the bride and bridegroom the hypocrisy of being grateful for articles they would rather have been without. Shopkeepers would no longer be called upon to supply wares which appear to cost more than they do, and affection and Incomes would cease to be estimated by the value of the gifts tbey produce, since the latter would be anonymous.

Elev of/on s/r<>w'/*<f end of ftVSS and An implement and machine shed","a truss and details of which are shown S n j h e accompanying cut^ is designed with three things in mind; viz., suitability to the purpose for which it is to be used, ease of construction, and low cost. At the outset it is assumed that a clear space in the building unobstructed by posts and beams would be especially desirable for the purpose in view. Many of the maohines and implements in use on the farm, while comparatively light, occupy a great 4*G1 of space and can be stored most economically by crowding tobether these likely to be in use at the same time. This can be done when the intenor is open and free, which,allows them to be moved in any direction to the best advantage: Another/ thing to be considered in this connection is the dimensions of doors and openings. It it not considered advisable to make th« doors less than twelve feet wide au-i ten high. Perhaps the ideal construction would be doors arranged to be continuous oc, so that they might be opened at any convenient point for putting in and taking out machinery. In the matter of construction the StA roof and is intended for pateut roofing only, this being considered of low cost and satisfactory on a building of this type. On a roof having a muoh greater slope than this it would be necessary to use rafters instead of purlins. The timber in the frame should be of strong native wood or southern pine. Hemlock is not considered safe where it must carry any great load. It is considered essential to have a good deep foundation vMil under the building and to hav» ifre building firmly anchored to it. The foundation wall need not be built across the driveways. The iengtfc. Of t h e building and the width may he made to suit conditions, but it Is &1- vised that a building framed like <be one above be made not wider than tfrs dimensions given. 7'he trusses shouM also be placed not more than twelVt) feet apart. A length of 48 feet woult? be about a minimum for the widtJv given. This would require five trussed 4nd could be arranged to have doors on either side, and two driveways adjoining. It would be well in many cases to partition off a workshop in this building. This workshop would be convenient to most of the repair work. An earth floor can be used if good drainage can be had, or a rough concrete floor can be made with little cost where the material can be easily obtained. A proportion of 1-3-6 of cement, sand and gravel, or 1-8 of cement and gravel wilt be satisfactory where the latter can be obtained with the size of grains graded from fine to coarse. No top dressing will be necessary. The material for a building of the size suggested would cost from $150 to 3250, depending upon location and kind of lumber used. This size should be adequate to accommodate most of the machinery on a 160-acre farm. A sh^il for the smaller farm, built after tPu same plan, could of course be buiU for very much less. that litfrle exact work or careful fit ting is required to obtain a reasonably good job.

FARM AND MPROVmrW IMPROVED ROADS IN AMERICA Some Startling Facts Given Regard* Ing Unimproved Thoroughfares in the United 8tates. There are in the United States a little more than two million one hundred and fifty thousand miles of roads. Of this mileage only one hundred and seventy-six thousand, four hundred and twenty-nino miles are improved, or eight and two-tenths per cent of the total, according to statistics gathered by the government office of public roads. The improved roads are those surfaced with gravel, stone, or with some special material. The moBt striking feature of these •Statistics is the enormous e x t e s t of unimproved . roads / ja . the United States. An expenditure of something like $3,000,000,000 would be required to convert the common earth roads TO KILL ROADSIDE INSECTS King Road Drag. of the country into even good grave' roads. That this is desirable few wili gainsay, and that it is becoming necessary under modern conditions and the-relations^now existing between producer and^,/Consumer is also quite generally admitted. The increased cost of hauling over unimproved roads is an immense -tax upon the farmer and those who purchase his products, and is a restriction on the crops which can be raised and moved in certain localities. The Interstate Commerce commission finds that two hundredranrr sixty Ave million tons of agricultural, forest and miscellaneous products of the land are hauled to depots for shipment in the course of a year. Figured Dn a basis of the average haul at the lowest average rate over unimproved roads, 23 cents per ton per mile, the ^ost would be four-hundred-thirtytwo millions, four hundred thousand iollars. If the hauling could be rejuced to one-half the present average ar l i y a c a ton, the resultant saving would exceed $200,000,000 a year. " That such a saving is reasonable is indicated by the experiences in other countries and in localities where improved roads are found. The cost of hauling on such improved roads is placed at from 8 to 10 cents per ton. The introduction of wise and equitable road laws and good business -raajiagemont w-ould, it is—e&amatedV jave forty million dollars more in the idminfstration of the country's roads 3r leave it for some other use.

The failure of the hay crop during the paBt two seasons has brought the corn crop into the limelight and its good qualities have been praised.until there is very little to be added. Right Time to Da; Work Is Late in Fall When Cold Weather Has Set in and Vegetation Dry. (By GEORGB/H, GL1TZKE.) A great many people have the mistaken idea that the time to burn the roadside in order to kill the many in s e e l s that winter in these placet, isi in the early spring of the year. If you will watch closely at such a place where the roadside has been burned in the spring you will see the insects coming out of the ground very thickly on the warm days. This proves that the insects wero not kiUed. Most of them are in the ground and the heat of the fire passing over them does not harm them and the trash burned from above them m a k e s it ail the easier for the insects to come forth. While no doubt a few of them are killed the majority of them are uninjured. The right time to burn these road sides to do effective work is in the late fall of the year, after the cold weather has already set in and all the tender vegetation is dry. T h e n n if the roadsides are burned, the insects in such places will be killed by heavy freezing, as they usually do n o t g o very-deeply into the..ground but seem to depend on the covering of trash to protect them from the cold. This is a great bit more effective in the killing of the insects than the spring burning. Not only does the fall burning of the roadsides do good by the killing of the insects that winter there, but it a.so helps to keep the *oad in better fc'iape by allowing less Bnow ta collect in the drifts as it usually, does in places where there is much grass and weeds.

N o w is a good time to look over the work harness that have been in u s e all summer and make note bf the repairr. needed before beginning an* other season By Grading Our Own Seed We Can Materially Increase Yield of Our Small Grain Crops. No farmer can get! any one to tako the same plans in grading his seed that he would himself. Some farmers claim that it does not pay to-clean grain. ' It is a fact that it does not pay very large returns to clean and grade grain before selling it, but by grading our own seed w e can materially inisrease th^ yield of our small grain crops. The corn crop of this country has been increased millions of bushels by Fanning Mill, intelligent seed selection. All other grain crops can be improved by grading the seed, so (hat only good, plump, healthy grains, free from all foul weed-seeds may bo grown. The fannlng-mill, judiciously used, will do much to increase the"yield-of every small grain-crop and assist in keeping our fields free from noxious weeds. It will take cockle out of wheat buckthorn, plantain out of clover, in fact it can be adjusted so as to handle all kinds of grain and weed-seeds. If you decide that it pays to sow good seed and to keeiryour "fields free fro;u noxious weeds, then do not hesitate to invest a few dollars in a fan niug mill. 9 00 DROPS ALCOrfOL-3 PER CENT AVefctabk Preparation Tor Assimilating (he Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of I N T A N T t s / f H I L U K l .

A m e n . 1 WWWWWWWWWWWWWUfHOrigin of New Year Gifts Like the customs of Christmas, which, in their origin, are a curious mixture of poetry and symbolism and of superstition, .those that belong to the observance of New Year's day are also relics of ideas that date from early heathen ages. The French derive their term for New Year presents from the Latin word, Strenia, the name of a goddess whom the Romans venerated as the patroness of gifts. There was a grove in Rome dedicated to this goddess, where it was customary to get fresh twigs, to give as presents to friends and relatives on New Year's day. During the sway of the emperors, Roman subjects made New Year's gifts to their sovereign. Augustus received such quantities of these that he had gold and silver statues made of them. Tiberius did away with the usage, because he considered it too troublesome to express thanks for the gifts. Caligula, on the eoatrary- reintroduced the custom, and even made up for his predecessor's re fusal to receive presents by requiring those that had been offered to him to be given to himself as arrearages. The custom of making New Year's gifts, notwithstanding attempts to suppress it, was continued after Europe had become ChrlstjajL-Eor a time present making was transferred_to Easter, but later It was again associated with the first day of January. _ JBatQfiM^dme — The passing of years is like, the coming of dawn—slow, silent, Inevitable. The most eager cannot hasten, the quiet, irresistible movement, and the most reluctant cannot forbid. Some gifts the years bring which we would fain decline—age, sorrow, disappointment. Some treasures they take which we would keep forever—youth, beauty, Innocence.

"I'll be the bride." said Jaquc-liue Woodruff, a girl who was always tir t and foremost in any pratu. "And I'll be the groom," said Waitir gallantly since he was standing beside her at the moment, and all eyos were turned upon him. Pew young people realize tbat it i> dangerous to trifle with a wedding, but it Is. So Walter Nixon and Jaqueline Woodruff stood up. One of the young uicti of the party asked if they would lake each other for husband and wife Walter took a seal ring off his fln^ft and put it on that of Jaqueline. th<' man who was officiating pronounced them man and wife, and, amid many Jokes and much laughter, they received congratulations from the others. No one considered it anything more than an escapade, and when a new amusemput was proposed the speeta tors forgot all about the first. A few days later Miss Woodruff, on opening her mail, read a note from Walter Nixon, beginning "My dear wife." It contained an invitation 1e the theater and several facetious re remarks as to her duty toward the writer as her husband.

A correspondent recently reported •what he described as the "curiou* freak" of a blackbird flying against s parlor window many times' at the u m e s p o t Such an Incident Is not uncommon. Birds have been known to fight for hours at a time, day after day, with their own image reflected ID a pace of glass, pecking and fluttering against the pane and quite exhausting themselves In their fury to demolish the supposed rival. It is anoth er instance of how the arts of our civilization corrupt and confuse the birds. It is the same with fishes. Darwin tells a story of a pike in an aquarium separated by plate glass from fish which were its proper food. In trying to get at the fish the pike would often dash with such violence against the glass as to be completely stunned. It did this for more than three months before it learned caution. Then when the glass was removed the pike would not attack those particular fishes, but would devour others freshly Introduced. It did not at ail understand the situation, but associated the punishment it bad received not with the glass, but with a particular kind of fish. Darwin's American monkeys proved themselves more "knowing." When they cut themselves once with any sharp tool they would not touch it again or else would handle it with the greatest caution. Thus they gave evidence of toe simpler forms of reason of which monkeys are no doubt capable,-but birds are evidently lacking in reasoning powers.

The actual disbursements for the year ending .?une 20, 1910, exclusive of the P a n a m a Canal and t h e postal Bervlce disbursements. were $669,706,291.03, m a k i n g a decrease of $5,5S7,393.19 in yearly expenditures in the year 1911 under that of 1910.

ThlH is a decrease in th< try; hut If wo may believe the reports, 1912 estimates: of $1,534.30:.::2 ex-King Manuel is not eating his heart out on that or any other account. The most recent International gossip that (he duke de Vizeu has fallen heir to the role of the Portuguese pretender, and Js endeavoring to so interest an American woman that she will back up bis efforts with her money (her daughter Is his wife) must amuse the ex-king, says the Cincinnati Times- Star. Those c\cmt to him say he is most frank in declaring that he has no anxiety to gain his throne again—Just yet. Portugal, according to Rev. Dr. Gaster, —who—hrsald-to-fcnow—the.-situation, "will not be a republic Jcng." But Dr. Gaster believes that if the throne is regained it will be for Manuel, not the Duke de Vizeu. Meanwhile the young Braganza, doing his own thinking, makes use of that .excellent old saying: "Patience—and shuffle the cards." The old question, "Do lightning rods protect?" has been referred to Thomas A. Edison. Rnd Mr. Edison replies: "One or more metallic conductors at least one quarter inch in diameter of either iron or copper, without Joints, when connected to a proper amount- "of meta 1IIc surface connected with a permanently damp earth, will certainly protect a house from being affected by lightning. Any metallic surface on roofs, etc.. when connected with rods, will increase protection." That ought to settle that. Not long ago a New York tea drinker was reported as saying that 60 cents' worth of tea would make twice as many cups of beverage as the same .value represented in coffee. This has brought forth a calculation showing still more In favor of the economy of tea. A pound of coffee that costs the public 30 cents, it Is asserted, will make only 45 cups of good coffee, while a pound of tea, costing 60 cents, will make 26 to 600 cups of tea. 80 tea coats from one-fourth to one-third as much as coffee.

This Is a decrease In the 1913 e s t i m a t e s from that of the 1912 estimates of $7.921,9%.99. As to the postal revenues, the expansion of the business in t h a t d e p a r t m e n t , •he normal Increase in the posit office and the extension of the service, will Increase tho outlay to tho sum of ?2fiO,fO,- 4G3; but as the d e p a r t m e n t was self-sustaining this year the p o s t m a s t e r general Is a s s u r e d that next year the receipts will a t least e<jual the expenditures, and probably exceed them by more than the surplus of this yj&ar. It Is l!air and CQU-Uable, therefore, In determining the economy with whioh the government IIUM been run, to exclude the t r a n s a c t i o n s of a dep a r t m e n t like tho post office department, which relies for Its support upon its receipts.

A m a t t e r of first Importance t h a t will come before congress for action at this session Is monetary reform. T h e congress h a s Itself a r r a n g e d an early introduction of this great question t h r o u g h the r e p o r t of Its m o n s t a r y commission. This commission was appointed to recommend a solution of the b a n k i n g and c u r r e n c y problems so\. long confronting the nation and to furnish the facts and d a t a n e c e s s a r y t o enable tho congress to t a k e action. In order to do its work with t h o r o u g h - ness a n d precision t h i s commission h a s taken some time to m a k e its report. T h e c o u n t r y Is undoubtedly h o p i n g for a s p r o m p t action on the report a s the conveniences of t h e congress c a n permit. The recognition of the gross imperfections a n d m a r k e d Inadequacy of our b a n k i n g a n d currency system even in our most quiet financial periods Is of long s t a n d i n g ; and later there h a s m a t u r e d a recognition of the fact t h a t o u r system lc responsible for the e x t r a o r d i n a r y devastation, w a s t e and business p a r a l y s i s of our r e c u r r i n g periods of pe.nic. Though the methods of the m o n e t a r y commission have for a considerable time been work? lncr in the open, and while large nurp**rs of the people h a v e been openly ^ w o r k i n g with them, and while the p r e s s - h a s largely noted and discussed, this work an it h a s proceeded, so th&t^fhe report of the commission prorrjiefs to represent a national movement, the details of tho report are^jrttll being considered.

And I sincerely hope it will not. The exceeding a m o u n t of consideration It hue received from the people of the nation has beati wholly nonp a r t i s a n ; and the congress set its nonp a r t i s a n seal upon it when the m o n e t a r y commission waa uppointetl. In commending the question to the favorable consideration of congress, I speak for, and in the spirit of, the great number of my fellow citizens, who without a n y t h o u g h t of p a r t y or p a r t i s a n s h i p feel with rem a r k a b l e e a r n e s t n e s s t h a i this reform Is neeescary to the interests -f ul! the people.

Governor Believes Chances of Reformation Are Greater During Prison Term Under Parole. Emulating Hazen S. Plngree, Michigan's famous pardoning governor, who believed that the chances for reformation in a convict were greater after he had lx?en given his liberty than during his confinement hehind prison bars, Gov. Osborn, acting in conjunction with the state pardon board, gave 18 conditional pardons and paroies to the inmates of the various penal institutions in Michigan, in order that the men may cat Christmas dinner with their friends and families and begin the New Year with a clean slate. Each case has been thoroughly investigated and the recipients of the bits of parchment that allow the convicts to leave the prisons as free men are worthy of executive clemency, Gov. Osborn points to the fact that the men who are released will lose their liberty if their parole is violated in any way. County Homes i:i Unsanitary State. Secretary M. T. Murray of the state board of corrections and charities has prepared a report in which he claims infirmaries of the state, in many instances, are in a shocking condition. 4,A large number of infirmaries," says the report, "are constructed without regard to convenience, sanitation or a proper segregation of sexes and defectives. The rule is that many institutions which were adequate when established are now , overcrowded or have ben extended haphazard. "In 1910 there were '1.514 inmates in these infirmaries, of which 172 were children, S33 insane, 103 idioiie, :-135 feeble-minded, 59 epileptics and 55 ill with tuberculosis. Because cf lack of facilities for separating and classifying this heterogeneous population it is often found huddled together and the inhumanity and injustice of it is beyond comprehension except by those in close touch with conditions." battlelshTp c r u i s e r s , w h i c h a r e n o w bec o m i n g a v»ry I m p o r t a n t f e a t u r e of f o r e i g n n a v i e s , n o t a b l y t h e B r i t i s h , G e r m a n a n d J a p a n e s e , T h e b u i l d i n g plan for t h i s y e a r c o n - t e m p l a t e s t w o b a t t l e s h i p s a n d t w o colliers.

't "When speaking of the mail o r d e r ' houses we are apt to think of one•: or two large ones, but I predict that If 1 you ever get parcels posts you will see them springing up everywhere. That has been the fruit of the parcels post in England, with the result that thev have no flourishing towns and villages there now; only small shops, and once prosperous country merchants are now soliciting orders for the great mail order house at four cents per order. "A bill for a rural parcels post is a delusion and a sr.are. I question the government's right to legislate for one class of citizens or for one part of the country and not another.

"De ol' gin'ral he didn't seem ter know what ter say; he done set dar lookin' ofLober de prairie like he was clar ttymegasted. He sho' did look like dat black debble hed hit him migfcfr hard. Den he says slow like. turolo' hi* boss 'round: 'Bartlett, yo' a n puttln' up a good bluff, but, by Gawd. I'm goin' ter call yo'. Yo' don't get a cent ob dat money 'less yo' put up de proof. I'll meet yo' whar yo' say. but ef I can git hoi' ob some papers dat's missln' I'll take dat grin off yo' face.' De odder one laughed, an' de ol' gin'ral started fo' ter ride away, den he pull up he's hoss, an' look back. 'Yo'__sjQrier herd-wid datklndob cattle, Bartlett.' he say, sharp like, 'maybe yo" know a gambler roun' yere called Hawley?' De black debble nebber eben lose he's grin. 'Do yo' mean Black Bart Hawley?' 'Dat's the man, where is he?' 'Dealin' faro to' Mike Kenna in Topeka a week ago— friend ob yours?' 'Dat's none ob yo' iamned—business-—snorted -de—oVgln'ral, givin' his hoss de spur. Sho\ Massa Jack, he nebber knowed he was talktn' ter dat same Hawley, an' dat black debble jest laughed as be rode off." "When was all this, Neb?" " 'Bout de time yo' all went up on do hill, 1 reck'n.—I—done~-come—right yere, and waited." Keith walked across the room, selected a cigar, and came back, bis mind busy with the problem. Hawley had in some manner, then, got into communication with Waite, and was threatening hfm. But Waite evidently knew the man under another name— his given came—and the gambler had sent him off on a false trail. The lost papers apparently contained the solution to all this mystery. Walte believed Hawley possessed them, but did not suspect that Bartlett and Hawley were the same person. What -would be most naturally do now? Seek Hawley in Topeka probably; seize the first opportunity of getting there. Keith turned impatiently to , t t j clerk. , "Any train running east?" '"Well, they generally start one out •very day." with a glance toward the •lock, " long 'bout this time. Maybe It's gone, and maybe it hasn't." Jt was already nearly dark outside as the two men hastened toward tbo depot' They arrived there barely In time fo see the red lights on the last car disappear. No Inquiries made or those lounging about brought results —they had been interested in a rot ot drunke* graders londari cs the flat e a f » ^ 4 « t c e , and sent out under ' Tt»ot one could tell whether iwering Walte's descrlphi the single passenger Convinced, however, that the General would waste no time in prosecuUag his search, Keith believed him already on bis way east, and after dismissing Neb, with Instructions to watch cut closely for Hawley, be made his own way back to the hotel. It seamed strange enough how completely bo was.blocked each time, just at ha thought the whole baffling mystery was about to be mad* clear. Hawley was playing In rare luck, all the cards running easily to bit hand, thus, at least, gaining time, and strengthening Ms position.* There could no longer be any doubt that the gambler possessed some knowledge which made him a formidable adversary. From Wsite's statement it waa the lota ol the eapert which left him helpless to openly resist the claim being mad* upon him on behalf of the mysterious J»JHT!HS Hlsoaly hope, therefore, lay In recovering these; but, with time limited, he had been sent back on a wild goose cha?e, while Keith alone knew, with any degTee of posltiveness, where those documents really were. Hawley certainly had them in his possession the day before, for he had taken thera to Miss Maclaire to thus convince her as to the truth of his statements. And Hawley was still in Sheridan. However, it was not likely the man would risk carrying documents of such value, and documeuts connecting him so closely with that murder on the Santa Fe Trail, about upon his person. At best, life was cheap in that community, and Black Bart must possess enemies In plenty. Yet if not on hiB person— where? Scott was only a tool, a mere Igmoraht desperado, not to be trusted trt such a degree—yet apparently he vas the only one working with the gambler in this deal, the only one cognizant as to his plans. Christie— Keith came to a stop in the street at (he recurrence of the woman's name. Why not? If she had been convinced, if she really believed that these papers proved her right to both property and parentage, then she would guard them as a tigress does her young. And Hawley would know that, and must realize they would be far safer in her hands than in his pocket. She could not use them without his aid and guidance, and yet, whatever happened to him they would still be safely beyond reach. True, this might not have been done; the gambler might not yet have felt that he had sufficient hold upon the woman to trust her thus far, but it was, at least, a possibility to be considered, and acted upon. Still wrestling with the Intricate problem, Keith entered the diningroom, and weaved his way, as usual, through the miscellaneous crowd, toward the more exclusive tables at the rear. A woman sat alone at one of these, her back toward the door. His first thought was that it must be Hope, and he advanced toward her. his heart throbbing. She glanced up, a slight frown wrinklinu her foreheal, and he bowed, recognizing Christie Maclaire. Ueve that, i—I have heard it whispered it might be because of the other girl." "The other girl!" in complete surprise at this swift return. "Yes, sir," conscious of having attained the upper hand. "Miss Hope Waite." "Some more of Mr. Hawley's fancies," he retorted, perplexed that so much should be suspected. "Have you soen her?" "Why, of course. I am a woman, Mr. Keith, with all the natural curloalty of my sex. In this case I had special reason to be Interested. One does not meet her counterpart every dny." "The resemblance between you Is certainly most striking." "Sufficiently so." she said slowly, her eyes on his face, "to abundantly confirm in my mind the truth of all that has been told me." The waiter approached with the orders, and the two remained in silence until he had deposited his load upon the table, and departed. She was watching the face opposite through lowered lashes that veiled her eyes, but Keith was first to break the stillness. "I wish I might be told what that was." "To what do you refer?" apparently forgetful as to where their conversation had been broken. "To Hawley's proposition." "No doubt," her lips smiling, "but you have_come to the wrong market. Mr. Jack Keith." "Yet," be insisted earnestly, "if this is all straight, with no fraud concealed anywhere, if you have the proofs in your hands, why are you afraid to talk openly? The very manner in which Hawley works should convince you he is himself afraid to face the truth." "No, you are wrong. There are perfectly satisfactory reasons why we should for the present keep our plans CHAPTER X X V I . ' ^ * A Chance Conversation. The opportunity thus so unexpectedly afforded was not one to be wasted, and Keith accepted it with Bwlft determlnation. The expression in the woman's face was scarcely one of welcome, yet his purpose was sufficiently serious to cause him to ignore this with easy confidence in himself. _ "I am, Indeed, most fortunate to discover you alone, Miss Maclaire," he said, avoiding her eyes by a swift glance over the table, "and evidently at a time when you are only beginning your meal. May I join you?" She hesitated for an instant, debatlng with herself, and as quickly dej. ciding on disagreeable tactics. "I presume this is a public table, and I consequently have little choice in the matter, if you Insist," she replied, her voice more civil than her words. "Still, Mr. Keith, I am not accustomed to associating with criminals." He smiled, holding his temper in check, more than ever determined to win. "Then, possibly, you may rather welcome a new diversion, I can assure you our criminals out here are the most interesting portion of our population. I wish I might have your permission." Standing there before her, bareheaded, his slightly tanned face strong and manly, his gray eyes filled with humor, Miss Maclaire recognized again that he was not of the common herd, and the innate coquetry of her nature obtained mastery. What harm could It <?o for her to chat with him for half an hour? It was better than eating a lonely meal, and, besides, she might learn something of value to report to Hawley. Her own eyes brightened, the slight frown disappearing "You are certainly an illustration of your theory," she said pleasantly. "I shall have to say yes, but, really, I did not suppose you would enjoy being ranked among that class." He drew out a chair, and sat down facing her, leaning slightly forward upon the intervening table. "Nor would I, only I recognize you do not comprehend. The source of your information is a bit polluted. Miss Maclaire, There are those whose good opinion I do not seek, and you should not form your decisions on the unsupported testimony of a personal enemy." "Oh. indeed," rather resenting the words, and already regretful of her compliance. "Surely I have as much reason to trust my informant as I have you. He, at least, hat proven himself a friend." "1 wish I could feel at fully assure*] of that as you do," he returned Honestly. "I would then have every temptation to meddle 'urtfrer taken away from me. Do you realise that my interest tt very largely upon your aocouatr "Oh. no," laughing, "l oouldat be- "V about that. They were entrusted to him by an old man whom he discovered sick in Independence, and who died in his rooms three years ago. Mr. Hawley has been searching ever since for the old man's granddaughter. It is remarkable how be was finally convinced that I was the one." "A photograph, was it not?" A gleam of sudden suspicion appeared in the brown eyes, a slight change in facial expression. "That was a clue. yes. but far from being all. But why should I tell you this?— you believe nothing t say." "I believe that you believe; that you are fully convinced of the justice of your claim. Perhaps It is just, but I am suspicious of anything .which Bart Hawley has a hand in. Miss Christie, you really make me wish to retain your friendship, but I cannot do so if the cost Includes faith in Hawley. Do you know that is not even his name—that he lives under an alias?" "Is there anything strange In that out here?" she asked stoutly. "I told you how deeply he regretted his life; that alone would be sufficient cause for him to drop his family name. Did j you ever learn his true name?" He was not surf?—only as Neb had ! reported what Waite had called the [man, yet ventured a direct reply. [ "Bartlett, I believe—he uses It now as a prefix." "Bartlett!—Bartlett!" her hands clasping, and unclasping nervously. "Why, what a strange coincidence!" - "How? What do you mean?" "Oh, nothing—nothing." bitting her lips In vexation. "The name merely recalled something. But really, I must go. Mr. Keith, or I shall bo late at the theater. You have not attended since 1 came?" "No.," arising from the table with her. "However. I have heard you sing before, and hope I may again." "How tenderly you dwell on that word 'hope/ " she said banterlngly, "It almost makes me envious." "Your resemblance almost makes mo forget." "But not quite?"' "No, not quite," he confessed, smiling l;ack Into her quizzing eyes. They went out into the hall together, only to meet with Doctor Falrbain itt-the door. Tire latter staretr~nt the "I Like Many People Whom Perhaps I Ought Not, Including You, Mr. Jack Keith." secret There are details yet to be decided upon, and Mr. Hawley's present objection to publicity is only ordinary prudence." She leaned toward him, her fingers playing nervously with a knife. "Mr. Keith, I cannot help but like you, and I also feel most kindly disposed toward Mr. Hawley. I wish in this I was no longer compelled to consider you an enemy- of us-bothr There is no reason why I should, except for your blind prejudice against thJs other man who is my friend. I know you have some cause, for he has told roe the entire story, yet I am,sure he did no more than his actual duty. He let me realize how very sorry he was that the marshal at Carson City bad called upon him for assistance." "Who? Hawley?" Keith questioned, hardly trusting his own ears. "Yes; indeed he is a very different man from what you have been led to believe. I know he is a gambler, and all that, hut really It is not altogether his fault He told me about his life, and It was very sad. He was driven from home when only a boy, and naturally drifted into evil company. His one ambition Is to break away, and redeem himself, t am to anxious to help him, and wish you could realize his purpose, as I do, and become his friend. Won't you, for my take? Why, even in this affair he has not the slightest mercenary purpose—he has only thought of what was rightfully mine." Keith listened, feeling to the full the woman's earnestness, the impossibility of changing her fixed conviction. Hawley had planted his seed deep and well in fruitful soil. "You o c k e a strong and charming advocate. Miss Maclaire." he returned, feeling the necessity of saying something. "1 should like to have you equally earnest on my side. Tet it will be hard to convince me that 'Black Bart' is the paragon of virtue yo» describe. 1 with 1 might believe tor your take.

The senate confirmed a majority of the Warner appointments, and after the close of the session Gov. Osborn kset out to make appointments of men to replace some of those holding office by virtue of the action of the senate, Haggerty and Phillips both took their cases to the supreme court, and the opinions handed down deal with these two cases exclusively, but attorneys claim that the opinion will have u direct bearing on the balance of the Warner recens appointments.

"Always getting" you two mixed." be blurted forth. "Never saw such resemblance— positively uncanny—same hotel too means trouble—this Miss Walte?" "No, Doctor; I am Miss Maclaire."

"Certainly—you—went to the room —then to the clerk—said you were In at supper—just occurred to me Btreets here bad at night—thought I'd ask you to let me escort you to theater and back—a bit of lunch later—" he glanced suspiciously at Keith— "probably got here too late." "Well, really, you have, Doctor," she replied sweetly, veiling her eyes to hide their laughter. "But I can assure you it iB not Mr. Keith," courtesylng slightly to the latter, "for he has not honored raer^we merely met by chance at the tabTe. T a m s u r e I should enjoy your company exceedingly, but to-night I must plead a previous engagement." "Ah—ah, some other night?" "With pleasure, yes." The doctor faded away into the office, not wholly satisfied because Keith still lingered. Miss Christie extended her hand. "Isn't he a funny man? But I do like him—someway I like so many people whom perhaps I ought not, including you, Mr. Jack Keith. Please think over what I told you about Mr. Hawley, won't you?" "Certainly; you have given me food for thought 1 presume he Is to be your escort?" She bowed, evidently resenting the question. "Yes, and it may interest you to know that he has something of the utmost importance to tell me to-nighthe has actually seen my guardian. Don't you wish you could be there?" She gave him a tantalizing smile, withdrawing her hand, and running up the stairs before he could answer. Over the railing of the landing she glanced down, and then disappeared. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

The term, "dry farming" does not indicate all that might be implied. It does not mean a system of irrigation, but one where al! *tpe rain fall and precipitation is stored up and conserved in the soil, to be drawn upon by scientific and saae processes whisn it may be required to forward and increase the growth of grain. In certain sections of the Canadian. West as well as in the American West, there is a portion of the country in which the soil is the very best for the growing of cereals, but the geographical locations and relative position to the rain avenues, do not give the advantage that other parts possess in the matter of precipitation. Agricultural science, however, haw been making rapid progress during the past few years, and it is now ascertained that It is not altogether the number of inches of rain that is essential to the growing of crops, but its conservation, and that is the meaning of "Dry farming." "Dry Farming" may well be applied to dla-; trlcts where there is a heavy rain fall and better results will follow. The education of the public into these new methods, not new exactly, but such as have had satisfactory demonstra-. tlon, is not alone the purpose of these dry-farming Congresses. One idea is to bring into life and into operation the great areas of splendid land lying within what might be termed semiarid, without placing them under the restrictive and expansive process of irrigation. The Congresses aro attended by thousands and they bring representatives from all parts of the world. The- Province of Alberta, and also of Saskatchewan, has taken a vital interest in the Congresses which have been held in the past two or three years..,.. The Province of Alberta has made provincial exhibits, districts have shown their products, and last year, several hundred dollarB were taken in 'Lprizes; this year the Province of Alffberta took prizes ten to one in excess of any state In the Union. Alberta has won eight out of twenty special cups, that province taking one, Lethbridge one, Arthur Perry six, and John Baxter, Edmonton, carrying off one sweepstakes. When It came to> a matter of location for the Congress for 1912, the City of Lethbrldge, which had put up a splendid fight for it, secured the Congress by a unanimous vote. It is expected that the Lcthbridgo Congress will be the largest yet held aird will be the biggest convention in the history of Western Canada. In emphasizing his Invitation to Lethbridge, one of the speakers said he had just received a telegram from MagranrTneur Lethbrldge) stating that of ono thousand acres of wheat just thrashed Hethershaw and Bradshaw had thrashed 47,000 bushels. , Literature sent out recently by tho Canadian Government Agents, which will be sent postage free on application, tells of hundreds of gpIendjjL- "'''12 factory feature of the situation is the fact that, contrary to past experience, the six powers now practically aro united in their aimr, and desire regarding China.

Its latest, and certainly one of its most Important services on behalf of mankind is the placing in commission of a second hospital and school on wheels known as a first aid to the injured car. The object of this ingenious portable Red Cross headquarters is to interest and instruct in first aid work the railroad men and ' other toilers of the country. By means of this car the Red Cross will \xi enabled to carry on a much-needed form of "missionary work" and can get in close touch, as it could by no other method, with the workinRinen of t h e laud who are in a position to render the most valuable servli-e as volunteer Red Cross workers. The first aid car which lias lately gone into commission is the second of.these cars to be sent a wandering up and down the steel-tracked high ways of the United States, but the first one, which was introduced less than a year ago, went forth with-somodest a heralding that the general public heard little of it or its work, No sooner, however, had Car No. 1 entered upon the work of giving Instruction in first aid to employes of various railroad systems than it became evident that a single car would be insufficient to u cei C.e demands for this new service. Accordingly a second car was arranged for—an old parlor car being purchased by the Red Cross and rebuilt for this specl- 8e purpose. Henceforth the Red Cross officials will be enabled to realize their dream to keep one of the cars constantly in service on the "railroads west of the Mississippi ahd~ the other- on the railway systems east of the Mississippi. The Red Crosa first aid Instruction cars are rather small cars judged by present day standards, but this was designrdly so and is an advantage rather than a detriment. Indeed, with a length of less than sixty feet such a car may be used not only on the mountain divisions of railways, with their sharp curves, but also on some trolley lines. Indeed, the car can be , V , i > < ***•£ **:>L with carrying this first aid crusade into the shops and mills and throughout the railroad world, tbb Red Cross h a s lately enlisted the co-operation of the Boy Scouts of America, and first aid instruction is being given to all of the youngsters in this organization according to plans and methods prepared -by the Red Cross. Such are the demands upon it that a first aid car cannot remaiu for long at any given point. The general plan adopted is to spend about three days at each point selected by the railway officials—that is, the officers of the railroad sys- TJfE FfErW FIRST-AID CAR OF* THE?

As a rule it is not practicable thoroughly to instruct men in first aid work in so short a time, but they learn considerable of the subject and there is an arousal" of interest which almost invariably results in the organization of a first aid corps which is developed by local physicians and with the aid of the Red Cross instruction books and emergency outfits. Still further to stimulate interest throughout the country the Red Cross has set aside a fund of $5,000 the income of • which is to be distributed annually in prizes to, the first aid workers • who show the greatest proficiency or who perform exceptionally dangerous or arduous first aid work. The past few years has seen remarkable progress In Vie proficiency attained by workmen In caring tor their fellows who have suffered injuries in the line of their work. From the rough and ready surgery in which the workman has always displayed some skill in treating the injuries peculiar to his own special vocation, modern antiseptic methods have been acquired and now the unfortunate victim of an accident Is given all the chances in his fight for life that modem science can devise.

Incidentally it may be mentioned that the railroads of the country are manifesting their appreciation of the valuable snd disinterested work which the Red Cross is doing In this sphere by hauling the first aid cars free of charge over their respective lines. The first 'aid car is divided into two parts of •Imost equal size. One-half of the space of the _tr«Rr is given over to an aesembly and demonstra- JUttt room—for, as has been explained, the car -hospital school on wheels—and the other is taken up by the living quarters for the .Instructors and crew.

Statistics seem to indicate that about one-half of the accidents which result in inlury or death would have heen preventable by the exercise of proper care and reasonable preventive measures and the Ked Cross Is endeavoring to teach workmen how to dodge mishaps and how to minimize the effect of an accident if It does appear inevitable. The Red Cross will not depend entirely upon the lessons and lectures given on the first aid cars, although these pave the way for effort in the direction of volunteer first aid. work. Supplementing these are aeries of charts and. more important yet, simple books of instruction and surgical materials which can prove serviceable In unskilled hands. A special first aid book has been issued for the use of industrial workers and has been translated into Italian, Slovak, Polish and Lithuanian, In the near future there will be issued other editions of this work specially adapted for use by women, bv policemen and firemen, by sailors and by farm hands and ranch workers. Of course it Is not the thought that such Instruction will enable even the most skilled of the volunteer Red Cross workers to replace the doctor except in the CUBP of trivial injuries, but vith the new knowledge these volunteers will know what to do until t h e doctor arrives, and cften.' by stopping a flow of blood or by other means, mnv be enabled to save Hie when a regular physician is not promptly on the scene.

And, While the question as to which preceded the other, thp epp or the hen, Is stfl! a subject for dispute in the district school debating societies, the question as to which came first into use, the pipe or the cigarette, appears to have the greater part of the evidence, so far as white testimony, is concerned, In favor of the cigarette—and anti-tobacconists may put that in their pipe and smoke it. the Indianapolis News remarks. When Columbus landed on the Island of Guanahani, which he called Sanx Salvador, on October 12, 1492, he and his men sswV to their great astonishment, a number ot copper colored natives collected on the Bhore putting clouds of smoke from their lips and noses. They were smoking what later came to be called tobacco, the leaves of which the natives had formed Into cylindrical rolls within the husks of the Indian com. While this was evidently the most primitive way of burning the leaf, there were pipes ion*j before Columbus arrived. Large numbers of pipes have been found in so-called Indian mounds in the central west, as well as along the northern lakes and throughout the south, in 1519, when Cortes invaded Mexico, the native^ smoked pipes made from reeds and richly ornamented. Montezuma, it has been recorded, waa accustomed to take bis pipe after dinner when it was brought to him with much ceremony by a bevy ot beautiful maidens and handed to him after he had rinsed bis mouth with scented water. The North American Indian usually made his pipes out of a kind of stone known as red pipestone, of v/Llch there were large deposits in the old Sioux country and the great spirit is said to have given his indorsement to this particular material, which might have been a Sioux monopoly. In these words: "This stone i s red. It is your tieah. it belongs to you in all. Out of It make no more tomahawks, war hatchets nor scalping knives, use it only to make the pipe of peace and smoke therefrom when you would propitiate me and do my will."

They were u<.-: rich, but they had enough to cat an 1 fairly good clothes to wear, and the taxes on their home wen* not too high. Mr. Fane died one day. Thar eouid be counted as a trouble, but not too burdensome to be borne. Time lightens all griefs, and tune lightened this one for the Widow Kane. When tinyear of mourning w a s np ;-lie found Solomon Williams, the village blaci; smith, waiting to say to her ••Widow Fane. 1 knew George f"r many years. He u u s a good man and a good husband. I know you have mourned him, but a woman can't gt« on mourning forever. I want a wife." "Well, Sol, I'll think it over ;ind lei you know," was the reply. l i e called a week Inter, and she said she would marry him. No courting and no great display of senthneni. The wedding was put for a month ahead, but only two weeks had eiap> ed when the blacksmith got tangled up in a thrashing machine he was repairing, and his leg w a s so badly man gled that it had to come off. The widow gave him a moip.li to re-core;' from the shock and then visited him to say: "Solomon, I'm a plain spoken worn an." "Drive ahead. Mary." he replied. •T couldn't marry a man with a wooden l"g. and you'll have to have 'United States. one when you get up." _ Two months later Farmer Griggs, widower, called. He had five children, and he wanted a wife. \lc spoke about the weather and the crops and then said: "Widder. I wish you would consider me. I've often said to myself that yon was a mighty nice woman." "Give me three days to think it over." At the end of three days Farmer Griggs called again, to be told that he was accepted. Foftr days later a horse kicked Mr. Griggs smack in the face and smash ed his nose so flat that the doctors had to make a long hunt to find it. When they found it they told him that he would be a noseless man from thence on. There wasn't enough of it "o call a nose any more, Of course the news was carried tc the widow.

The report of the employers' liability and workingmen's compensation commission, together with a draft of the bill prepared by, the commission for'suljmission to the next legislature, was presented to Gov. Osborn at Lansing. It is a voluminous document and includes all the data relating to industrial accidents gathered by the commission. There are 250,000 wage earners In the state and in 1910 there were 220 fatalities and 1:1,000 accidents of all kinds, which the members of the commission unanimously agree furnishe? ample grounds for the enactment of a compensation law. The conclusion is reached that any compensation law should be optional and that in the operation of such a law all injured employes, except those injured through their own wilful negligence, should be compensated, with the exception of persons engaged in domestic service and agricultural industries, who are excluded from the provisions of the bill. Would Abolish Divorce. "Abolish the divorce laws of Michigan" is the advice of Judge E, D. Kinne. of Ann Arbor, who has sat on the circuit bench of Washtenaw county lor the last quarter of a century. "In my opinion there is. but one sovereign remedy for the divorce evil in this state," said Judge Kinne.. "Hltnerto, as a rule, t have administered the law as I have found t on the statute books and In the reports. I doubt if I have given the subject the serious thought it demands. It haB seemed to me that divorce was apparently tbe only means of escape from brotality, wretchedness and hopeless unhappiness, and therefore that it was justifiable and perhaps wise; but of late the privilege of divorce has been so misused and abused, and I have witnessed such flagrant disregard of the truth, morality and decency, that my former convictions have experienced considerable remorse, if not revolution." Must Come Back. Gov. Osborn has informed Warden Russell that he desires James Cuahway, the paroled convict under arrest -at San-Francisco, r e t u r n e O o the Marquette prison. Sheriff Lehman this week received a telegram notifying him of Cushway's arrest, and asking if he was wanted here. When Gov. Osborn was informed of the matter at St. Ignace, where he was held up by a storm on his way to Lansing, he said that Cushway should by all means_be returned to the Marquette prison, where he has about 13 years of his sentence still to serve. The prison authorities h a v e . s e n t requisition papers for Cushway to Lansing and when they are returned Deputy Warden Catlln will be sent for the prisoner. Forms $100,000 Central Traction Co.

Permission was granted by the commission to form the new company and the capitalization is to be $100,- 000. Matches Cause Death. One of the most peculiar cases of suicide which has come to the notice of the authorities recently is that of Mrs. Margaret Vardy, who died Tuesday in Detroit. The investigation made by Coroner Rothacher revealed the fact that the woman drank a glass of water in which she had previously soaked 160 matches. Although she was given the best of medical attention, the prosphorus poisoning developed so rapidly that it was impossible to save her life. Ask Tax Law Changs. Large manufacturing concerns of Detroit are appealing to Congressman Doremus for his- assistance in securing the passage of an amendment to the corporation tax law. The law as it stands requires a report from each corporation on Dec. 31. Many of the manufacturers find it difficult to take an invoice at that time and want the privilege of making the report during the dull business season, when the invoice can be taken conveniently.

DR. SUN ELECTED HE ACCEPTS PRESIDENCY CHINA PROVINCES AS A DUTY. OF W I L L DEMAND W I T H D R A W A L OF TROOPS. Prepared to Extend Armistice Pending Final Negotiations—New Republic's Head Is a Christian. The republic of China, the first gove m i n e n t of that nature in the orient, officially came into being with the election of Dr. Sun Yat Sen president. The republic as it stands consists only of^ 18 federated provinces and the leaders declare that the Manchu dynasty has only a few more w e e k s and perhaps days, oi official existence. The delegates to the provisional military assembly acted without waiting for a national convention to decide what form of government should prevail in the future. Dr. Sun Yat -Sen, who left China as a political exile, but who comes back as the idol of the bulk of the 400,000- 000 of people making up the population, is still a political outlaw in the eyes of the Pekin government which set a price of $50,000 on his head. Seventeen of the 18 delegates to the republican assembly voted for Dr. Sun. Only one vote w a s cast against him. The new president is being closely guarded by revolutionary soldiers to prervent an attack on his life byagents of the Manchu government That plots exist against him is known. Spies of the Pekin government were sent south immediately on the arrival of the revolutionary chieftain. Lake__Business- Beats Record." Just 2,574 vessels of all kinds, this y e a r , passed through t h e Well&nd canal, up and down, breaking the record for any previous year in the history of the canal. Last year the lockages totaled nearly 400 less than in the season of 1911, though 15)10 was also away in excess of all previous years. Most of the boats coming down the canal carried wheat during the season, and the bulk of teh cargoes upbound for Fort William was coal. Very few vessels went through light, the "season being a pretty good one for marine carriers. Perhaps more than 50,000,000 bushels of wheat were brought down through the canal during the season, and the biggest cargo was carried by the big oil steamer, The Toller, w t o c V Ann"" A F L _ ^ L U o o k . , the greatest load th«Mig*r*kr A B R A T D o r I o r T W e l l a n d canal in the c a n a l ' s % l f t « m over 90,000 bushels of wheat, • China Republic Near. , Premier Yuan-Shi-Kal has submitfecrto the more prominent Manchus of Peking the proposal emanating from Shanghai for the meeting of a" special future form of government which should be adopted for China, This step by the premier practically means that he asks the court to decide Its own fate because the members of such a national assembly would decide in favor of a republic.

However she answered frankly enough, and even defiantly added the information that the gentleman had something to impart-to -her of the utmost importance, sarcastically asking me if I didn't wish I could be there and overhear. But sit down, Hope, until I tell you all that has occurred." He went over the various events in' detail, watching eagerly the expression upon her face as she listened intently, only occasionally Interrupting with some pertinent inquiry.

That was the one thing which made it seem an actuality—which brought It home to her as a rugged fact. But for that—and Keith—Keith sitting there before her—she would have doubted it all. And yet even Keith had come into her life so suddenly, so unexpectedly, as to leave ber dazed and uncertain, that she extended her hand and touched him, as though to make sure of his actual presence. "What is It, Hope?" "Oh, nothing—nothing," her voice breaking in a little sob. "It is so silly, but I was just wondering if you were real—everything seems so impossible ) cannot bring my mind to grasp the situation." He did not smite, but only took the groping hand into both of his own. "1 think I understand, little girl." he said gravely. "You are totall/ unused to such life. Almost without a moment's warning you aave been plunged Into a maelstrom of adventure, and are all confused. It is different with me—since the first shot at Sumter my life has been one of action, and adventure has grown to bo the stimulus I need, and upon which I thrive. But I assure you." pressing the soft hand warmly, "I am real." "Of course I know that; It makes me glad to know it. If I could only do something myself, and not Just sit here, it would all become real enough to me." She rose suddenly to her fert. clasping her hands together, h'er face changing with new animation. "Why couldn't I? 1 am sui'n I could. Oh, Mr. Keith, it has Ju»t cctne to me how I run help." '^-. .- He looked at her n,ue?>tioning!y, thinking of her beauty rather than of what she said. "Do—do I really appear so much like—like that woman?" rhe asked anxiously, "Very much, Indeed, ex-xjiting for the alight difference in age" "That would never be noticed In the dark, or a poor light. Am I the same height?" "Practically, yes." "And my voice?—could you distinguish me from her by my voice?" "I might; yet probably not. unless ray suspicions were arousedv WhaLjs it you are thinking about?" She took a deep breath, standing now directly facing him in the light. "Of playing Miss Maclalre to-night," she said quickly. "Of taking her place, and learning what it is of so much Importance Hawley has to report. Don't you think It might be done?" The sheer audacity of this unexpected proposal left him speechless. He arose to his feet, gripping the back of the chair, almost doubting if he could have heard aright, his eyes searching the girl's face which was glowing with excitement. Of course he could not permit of her exposure to such a risk; the scheme was Impracticable, absurd. But was it? Did It APJL offerja, f_air_ chan.ee of success? And was not the possible resultworthy the risk assumed? He choked back the earlier words of protest unuttered, puzzled as to what he had best say. A quick-witted resourceful woman might accomplish all she proposed. 'It looks so simple," she broke in INDIVIDUAL CAPRICE MARKS STYLES T H I S SEASON. New Long Coats Especially Graceful —•Mixtures Sometimes Combined in the Composition of the Ever- Popuhar Stole. "Don't you think I could do it? Would it be unwomanly?" "The result, if accomplished, would abundantly Justify the means,, Hope," he acknowledged at last. "I was not hesitating on that account, but considering the risk you would Incur." "That would be so small—merely lh_e__short walk alone; with him from the theater to the hotel." she pleaded. "Once here it could make no difference if he did discover my Identity, for there would be plenty of men near at hand to come to my defence. Oh, please say yes." "If I do, then we must make the illusion perfect, and take as few chances of discovery as possible. I must learn exactly how the other dresses, and when she leaves the theater. Fortunately for the success of your plan the Trocadero permits no one but performers to come behind the scenes, so that Hawley will be compelled to wait for the lady outsid« the stage door. 1 bad better go at once, and see to these details." "Yes," she said, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, "and I am so glad you are willing. I will be most discreet You are not sorry I made tho proposal?" (TO B E C O N T I N U E D . ) In the matter of turn, which, until recently, showed little variety, the vo&ue lor the picturesciue is strongly marked. The m.w long coats, for example, are made with rather full fronts, gracefully draped around the figure and held in place with knots of velvet or satin ribbon. Linings for the long coats are Of sutitt-veiled wi-Hi-ohtffon, or of richly brocaded Hlks, often having threads of gold or silver running through the designs. Small heads and tails of fur are belug used as motifs, under which the garment fastens. Wide lichullke stoles are finding favor in the eyes of fashionable women. Three reasons why they are so popular are warmth, becomingness and the fact that they can be made of velvet and fur or satin edged with fur. The latter are made quite warm by an Interlining of lamb's-wool. These long, searfllke stoles are extremely supple and can be draped -about the shoulders- -with—exquisite grace. Often two furs are combined in the making of these stoles. Others are of velvet bordered with wide bands of fur. They are alwayB lined with delicate satin, chiffon or brocade. Ermine will be very much worn by those who can afford such luxuries. It will be made up both with and without the small black tails. Short scarfs and shoulder wraps of ermine are popular and it will aluo be used as trimming for other furs. The new fitchew fur is greatly—in demand. It resembles the American skunk, but Is of finer and softer texture, darker and richer In coloring. Moleskin is coming to the front again and seal is always a good choice. Muffs of fur are made larger than ever, perfectly flatMIke a pillow, or with a curved end made to throw over the hands. This is to he a "fur season." If you have any old furs packed away in camphor, bring them out, have them remodeled and glory In their soft warmth, knowing the while that you are following the fashion. Going Back to Paganism Birthday Candles.

With this preliminary line in their possession the crew of a shipwrecked craft can quickly haul out a larger line and finally a three-inch hawser. Attached to the hawser is a board which bears in English on one side and in French on the other Instructions as to how to make the hawser fast to a mast or the best place that can be found When the shipwrecked mariners signal that they have obeyed instructions as to fastening the hawser the life-savers ori shore haul the hawser taut and perhaps elevate the shore end by means of a tripod <i order to lift it well clear of the water, after which 'there is sent off to the ship a breechesbuoy, suspended from a traveler block, or a life car depending from rings running on the hawser. Only one person at a time can be landed by the breeches buoy, but from four to six people can be carried ashore at each trip of the life car. Wbfchever be the vehicle employed, the trips continue until all the imperiled persons are safely ashore, after which an ingenious mechanical device known as the hawser cutter is drawn out to the wreck along the cableway and upon arriving at the terminus of the hawser' auto* matlcally cuts the rope, allowing the life-savers to haul it ashore and Urns preservs Intact a valuable part of their apparatus.

This may have been done by mice, rabbits, muskrats or some other rodents. Such injuries usually occur during long -hard winters when the snow is unusually deep and the animals have difficulty in finding plenty of food and they fall upon the bark of these trees as a last resort to satisfy their appetites. A great many young orchards have been pianled in the last few years adjacent to wood lots or cut-over lands where rabbits abound; ouiers have been allowed to grow up to grass and weeds where mice may have become numerous, and others have been planted near swamps or marshes where muskrats are plentiful. If the coming winter should be long and severe and the snow deep, hundreds of these trees are liable to be partially or wholly girdled before spring. If this injury is to be avoided, now Is the time to do it. There are several different kinds of material used to. protect the bark of young trees from such creatures, such as tar paper, woo& veseerr wire, mosquito netting, galvanized wire netting (four meshes to the inch), wire coils and pieces of cornstalks. All have their merits and defects. The wood veneer or tar paper pro: tectors can be secured in* large quantities at about three-quarters to a> ient apiece and they are very good.'

These shonM hft removed in the spring, how- Much has been talked and written about the advisability of feeding wet or dry mash. A great deal depends upon the purpose of the teed, whether for fattening,, growing chicks jft for egg production, and a great deal depends upon fho feeder and his facilities. Either method is good under certain conditions. For producing fine soft quality of meat soft wet foods may be used to best advantage. By wet foods are not meant sloppy foods, which are to be avoided in feeding chickens, bet moist, soft, as in fattening foods, or crumbly as in* others. A very important "don't" is "Don't feed sloppy foods." In case of the growing chicks it 1s> often noted that during the hot sumnier~ raooib* san afternoon feed of crumbly mash is better relished thaa, the dry mash. H&wever, it is a veqr '• easy method of feeding to place dry mash hoppers in or about the houses on range and aljow the birds freedom of access. Birds brought up by either system may produce very favorable results, but It should be observed and remembered that chickens , should never be changed suddenly from a wet mash to a dry mash diet, or vice versa* as this is apt to cause a severe setback. Wet mash mixed with cooked vegetables and served warm is conducive to excellent results with some feeders, but to~offer such a feed requires equipment for preparation which is not always possessed, and also takes considerable time each day. When the flock is small and there is plenty of table scraps, these fed with mash, together of course with the necessary grit, oyster shell and fresh water, should make the hens lay, provided their other care is good. In general the keener of the small flock who administers thts kind of treatment can show better egg records in percentage than the feeder of the large-flocks, due to the ration and the care. In cold weather if wet mash is fed and not eaten at once the remaining parts are apt to become icy and frozen und considerable attention must be given the troughs or feeding uten- BilS. For convenience the dry mash system Is probably best. Separate hoppers are often used for each kind of food, though the chicks must be educated to this system from the start to iiibure best results. A mixture 1B many times made of the different foods and this placed In large hoppers for use, or as is a common custom with many, the mash is fed at a regular period each day. Bran, middlings, corn meal, ground oats or bar-, alfalfa meal, and meat in some us green -cut bonr or connneref scrap, are among the most mon of these foods, ens learn to relish the dry foods and cannot gorge themselves when eating, but gain a certain amount of exercise and keep busy longer, which in itself is an important factor in egg i>poduetio&. — — — - A system of feeding which is practiced with much satisfaction Is that of feeding a light grain ration, if any, in the morning. A noon feed, which may be given between 10:00 and 12:00 a. m., consisting of a mash of equal parts by weight of bran, middlings, rnrn meal and h*>ef grrap with a Httlp HAVEf YQU SUSPEXOTJ YOLI m MA fortunately no For 81» •Fhad ae advice of a h who spokn J<J*!"^*-"f-- r, but on the old gentleman Iboganto t 1 yean ago," •ays she **) fair, and admits plump on the sew sail *U how l e n t ftS 91 wejBUu^«|Rid cas 0*$' ifUe* srday*«&d tset tor dolnr\so.tr new to in-»r-s«t», tod U t s bow oojck, aieti sad tireless- my ever, as they often harbor Insects and fungi which may do harm to the bark.

The wire mosquito netting, or lvanived wire netting protectors are ore expensive, costing about three Htg apiece when bought by the roll cut up at home. They can be secured in various widths from a foot and a half up, to suit conditions.

In putting on the tar paper or veneer, fine wire or strong, durable string should be used—one near the bottom and one near the top—so tied that they run through a notch or hole so that they will not slip down and the protector fall over and blow away. Weed veneer protectors must ajso be soaked ra water, to prevent their cracking when being pot qh. The wire netting protection may be put on with wire hands or wire hooka such as hog's note rings or something similar, and then they can be easily put on end taken ©nV 4« many eases it would be weH to monnd^ up the ground slightly aronod the trees and then push the, tsse,pret«eaer hate this ttpund a Utile fefceApxhoJ* tt firmly tn > Many 'Orfhsrdlsrs may tsink tree protectors are a, nuisance^ and ssiT expenet, hut often, t many different me many diterspeat sever- Lmy home, thinkmy: for re rfee ha* i-no * ' a a reason, mtle book, "The Bead to charcoal added for toning the system, and at night (about 3:00 p. m. these cold, dark, winter days) all the grain mixture, corn (cracked or whole) and wheat, that will be eaten." Birds sent to bed with full crops generally have plenty of body warmth and nourishment and get up ready for business. There should always be on hand a supply of green food Such as cabbage, beets, or sprouted oats. Clean, fresh waier should be supplied, and the hoppers should contain grit and oyster shell at all times. The question of wet or dry mash may he determined greatly by the feeder and his conditions, hut either should he done consistently. Good Hens to Keep. Hens that are more than two years old would better be selected from the rest of the flock and be fed into mar* ket condition and sold. All bens which were pullets last year, and which you know havs laid well during the entire year, should be kept throughout the second winter. Pullets that were hatched early in the season and which wiU be oid enough and sufficiently well matured to lay this winter, should be kept also. It will be well to keep the latter by themselves, if ppssikferhnd feed them for continued growth'and. for future egg production. Cockerels that wilt not be needed, and which are not valuable for sale as breeding birds, should be fed-into good market condition and sold as soon os- they are large enough and fit for market parposes. - Use- of vlfftea.

Money to the amount of $14,- 500,000 was spent in the anH-tnb. erculosis work during the year 1911, according to the third annual statement expenditures in the war against consumption issued by The National Association for the Study and-Preveniion ^f-Tnberculosis to-day. The statement is based largely on reports received from anti-tuberculosis agencies in all paits of the United States, Where actual reports were not available, tbe figures were necessarily estimated. By far the largest item of expenses was that for treatment in sanatoria and hospitals, and for the erection of institutions of this kind, over $11,800,OOCH^eing spent for this purpose alone.

Guinea bens are careless with their broods, expose them to the wnather and lead them where ani mals and birds of prey find them an easy mark. They thus do not rear so Jbigh a percentage as the hen, but their chicks are better. Q. When, eggs are set In incubators and under ^ens. which hatches the highest percentage? A. The ben ordinarily gives 20 per cent more chicks, with 25 per cent less mortality. Q. When is artificial incubation first mentioned and by whom? A* By Arts totle, tutor of Alexander the Great. 884-322 B. O. Q. Does the female pigeon do all the hatching? A. No. The cock generally sits on the eggs from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m., and the hen then takes ber turn to 10 a. m. tbe nest morning. Q. Do you really think It Is necessary to test eggs out of incubators? A. YeBr---The oaaln~ reason-is that bacteria in eggs with dead germs or rots kill or weaken the germs in good eggs The removul of infertile and bad eggs also gives room for turning and saves heat Q. Which puts more fat on a turkey, old or new corn? A. Old corn New corn should not be fed to tur keys.

It extended a few indies downward, then turned with nn elbow. the second part extending about a foot rearward. As I looked the puffs continued as regular as those com ins from a locomotive making a steady gait. What to do 1 didn't know. I was afraid to notify tbe conductor fof fear I'd find out that I'd had a stroke and saw things that didn't exist. Some thing occurred just then tbat made me think I'd,surely gone daft. I heard a girl's, giggle. There wasn't any connection-bet weena steam engine and a girl shut up In a box car, especially a sealed box ear. but there was a good deal to excite curiosity. 1 stopped worrying about myself and began to wonder what there was inside tbat car. J stood off. looked at It and walked all around it A freight train ia made up of differ ent kinds of cars, and this car was $s ^ecially 4ifffirent fromthe others, It looked as though it might have been a caboose turned Into a box. Tbe thing most noticeable about It was a door at one end. Why I hadn't noticed this before I don't know unless It was because the end was only about two feet from the end of another car. I saw that there was or had been a lock on the door. There wasn't any knob, but a nail had been put through the screw bole of the steel piece on which the knob had been fixed. I climbed up on the coupling and tried to turn the nail to open the door. 1 didn't succeed. 1 listened, but everytMna; was still. But I didn't forget tbat giggle, nnd pretty soutM knocked. In a few moments I heard whispers within. Then all of a sudden the doeiLwng pulled open, andjhere stood a_boy arida girl. Besides these, I got a view of the car. There was a carpet on It, the worse for wear; in one corner was a mattress with bedclothing; In the ceo tor was a pine table, and at one sid ' was a cook stove.

The Absolute Zero. What is the absolute sero of temper store? The sero of thermometers is purely conventional. The Inventor of the centigrade simply took for sero the coldest temperature known in his day, while Fahrenheit had even less 'ground for his selection. Absolute sero Is a point fixed by nature and may be arrived at in a variety of ways. All gases expand or contract equal amounts for every degree of heat The amount of 1-273*of their volume for each degree—centigrade. If, then, a gas is cooled down contln uously it must reach a point at which further contraction Is impossible. If a gas loses 1-273 of its volume at each downward degree of centigrade then in 273 degrees if wouli| exhaust tills power and become a solid; hence tlsaiaus) 278 O. is the annotate zero of temgeratnre.

"Evil Eye" Based e * P$e?t> Most people have heard of the' "Evil Bye/' and now we are informed by Charles L. Smith, a noted New York refractionist, that the superstition arose because everyone, without knowing it, has one eye that is different in power and activity from the other. He designates it the "dominant e y e / ' and according to whether it is ,the left or the right children will grow up lefthanded or right-handed. It is sheer cruelty, and may entail life-long misery, to force a child to become ambidextrous. Such a bourse may result in wrecking the nervous Bystem, and can only be cured by a reversal of the process so that the "dominant eye" may reg«in natural afM undisputed sway. Men who are ambidextrous had better keep a strict guard over their actions lest they should be credited with the "evil eye." * * * * j From New Englai Prove that Lydia E.

United States Treasurer McClung has recommended in his annual report that congress provide additional facilities for exchanging old and defaced United States paper currency for new. Asserting that there is a widespread Interest which advocates a cleaner and more sanitary currency, he says that the sentiment is a laudable one and should be attainable because the expense is but a trifle compared with the beneficial results. It has been demonstrated that bacteria attach themselves readily to paper money, and there is no doubt that disease is thus disseminated. Mr, McClung's crusade for a clean currency ought to find prompt and sympathetic response. M a n y C b l l d r e n A r e N l e k l y .

It seemed to him he had already looked everywhere, yet there waa. nothing to do except to continue the search, only more systematically. The sheriff asmmea -control—clear headed, and accustomed to that sort of thing—calling in Hickock and his deputies to assist; aad fairly combing the town from one end to the other.

"Miss Waite had a small revolver. She must have shot the fellow. But why did they leave the body here to be discovered?" The sheriff arose to his feet, prowling about in the brightening glow of the dawn: "They were in a hurry (o get away, and knew he wouldn't be found before morning. A six hours' start means a good deal. They did drag him back out of sight—look' here. This was where the struggle ttfcdc place, and here is wh«reithe p m fell." tracing it out upon the ground.

Dr. Fairbain had originally Joined the searching party, fully as eager as Keith himself to run down the renegade Hawley, but after an hour of resultless effort, his entire thought shifted to the woman they had left alone at the hotel. He could not, as yet, fally grasp the situation, but he re- Jpsined loyal to the one overpowering .Jruth that he loved Christie Maclaire. Fairbain's net'jre was rough, original, yet loyal to the core. He had lived all his life long in army camps, and upon the frontier, and his code of honor v/as extremely simple. It never once occurred to him that Christie's profession was not of the highest, or that her life~nnd—associations in any way unfitted her for the future. To his mind she was the one and only woman. His last memory of her, at. the little party of men filed out of that room, haunted him until he finally dropped out of the search and drifted back toward the hotel. It was a late hour, yet It was hardly likely the woman had retired. Her excitement, her interest in the pursuit, would surely prevent that; moreover, he was certain he saw a light still burning in her room, ns he looked up from the black street below. Nevertheless he hesitated, uncertain of his reception'. Bluff, emphatic, never afraid to face a man In his life, his heart now beat, fiercely as he endeavored to muster the necessary ^courage. -Far down the dark street some roysterer fired ii shot, and sudden fear lest he might be sought alter professionally sent the doctor hurriedly within, and up the stairs. He stood. just outside her door, quaking like a child, the perspiration beading his forehead, but a light streamed through the transom, and he *ould plainly hear movements within.—A-tlast, in a sudden spasm of courage, he knocked softly. Kvon In that noisy spot she heard instantly, opening the door without hesitation, and standing fully dressed within. She was no longer a discouraged, sobbing girl, but an amused, intent woman, into whose pathetic, lonely life there had .cc-me. a new hope. She appeared younger, fairer, with the light shimmering in her hair and her eyes smiling welcome'. "Oh, Doctor," and her hands were thruat out towards him. "I am glad you have come. Somehow, I thougbt you would, and I have wanted so to talk to some one—to you." "To me! Do you really mean that. Miss Christie?" "Yes, I really mean that, you great bear of a man," and the girl laughed lightly, dragging him into the room and closing the door. "Why, who else could I expect to come to-night? You Were the only one really good to me. Ypu—you acted as if you believed in 0 * all the time—" :•-»•• (TO B E CONTINUED.) He trail.

I T S WOOD VS. ArNSWORTH Sea Service Had Its Trouble Over Medical Commanders—Surprising Prevalence of Opinion That Training Isn't Needed for Military Men. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—There is friction in the war department because of differences of opinion between the two ranking officers of the army, Major Generals Leonard Wood and Fred C. Aiusworth. one the chief-of-stafl and the other adjutant general of tho service. Both of these men started out in life as doctors, and the trouble Is spoken of as a case "when doctors disagree." In this instance congress must decide, for the present difficulty arises from contrary views taken by the soldier doctors of a bill introduced by Representative Hay of Virginia making changes In the army system. The navy is now laughing at the army, because the navy itself had a row of somewhat similar nature, although in the case of the sea service there was a doctor on only one side of It. The trouble in the navy department was over the decision to allow a medical officer to take command of a Bhlp. Of course be won't attempt to navigate the ship, but he will be captain supreme in everything. A medical officer today, commands, under the president, the army of the United States. The army and navy are sister services. Together they are having visited upon them in a way the layman dictation. Think Training Not Needed. No civilian president, save Abraham Lincoln, perhaps, ever has thoroughly understood the necessity of training for army men and navy-men. There is apparently an impression that cannot be erased from the civilian mind thnt the profession of arms is the only profession for which no education is necessary. Naval officers and army officers In Washington today say that they constantly meet people who believe that any man of average Intelligence, good voice and sufueled physical strength can take command of an army or a fleet and by a sbrt of intuition lead them Into battle as well as any general or admiral of tho service. This, of course, is putting It to the limit of exaggeration, but the main truth holds, and army experience and navy experience show It, that the ordinary civilian, whether he be president of the United States or president gLa_s,ockmaklpg-4actory. believes that the military man IB born, not made, and that military education and experience, while possibly helpful, are not among the necessaries. The decision of the authorities to place the medical officer in command of a ship of the navy was parallel to the action of President McKinley in appointing a polltlciany^Wno^ djdtrHknow the right flank Hrcm thTSeft flank of his regiment, to command a body of men who within two months might be called upon to go on the field In the face of the enemy, there probably, though individually as bruve as Ney, to meet with defeat because of the ignorance of their commanding |J^Qj*?,«urst. .jjBft-*M|Ufr>r. 4&tmK~1t**-*-j&ti9 next >.to "officer.

In tha Senate Storehouse. Every year Col. D. M. (Ransdell, the sergeant-at-arms of the United States senate, is compelled by law to send to the vice-president of the United States, who is the presiding officer of the senate, a statement of the property belonging to the government which remains In his possession. The senate orders this statement to be printed for distribution on request so that, If the country wishes, It may learn what property it owns and what it fives to the senators for their use during the hours of legislating. After Colonel Ransdell has enumerated the chairs and the tables In tha various committee rooms and tha pictures on the walls and tha earpe^a-oii the floors, he tells the vlc$prg*ldent that In the store bouse of the ««nate< among other things are theso articles: One lemon squeeser < large), one pouad of snuff, one bottle of vaseline, one waah bowl, one tW box., eight bottles cockroach paste, one polar, one bottle of tonic, forty-eight bottles of cologne, thirty cakes of violet soap, twenty-four cakes of white rose soap, threa nail brushes, seventy-eight cuspldori and sixty-five fuherai; refalias. 5a»^pda»t*,*> Adams. ams, fives on Massachusetts avtnu< In a house formerly occupied L> Heart &rrs.

Over in Massachusetts avenue there is the house or an enormously wealthy man. He built it. and as a part of the building material he used a rock containing many dollars' worth of gold.

They say that mpro people are interested In the millionaire's block of gold than are interested In John Quincy Adams' two Inches of bronze. Adams, however, will be "alive" some centuries after this millionaire is torgotten. Latest Row in the House. Members of the house seemingly were somewhat ashamed of the outbreak of Representative Ben Johnson of Kentucky, chairman of the house committee on the District of Columbia, who the other day invited Representative Martin B. Madden of Chicago outside "to h»ve it out." Johnson later apologized handsomely. Threats of personal encounters In the house are of much more frequent occurence than they are in the senate. Sometimes members actually reach the mixing point, but generally their colleagues interfere before blows are struck. The last near encounter was one between Henry D. Clayton of Alabama. and Represenentative James R. Mann of Chicago, the bouse Republican leader. Mr. Mann was entirely willing to go outside with the man who challenged him, and there to settle the matter, but there was Interference and the temper of the thermometer on both sides went down rapidly. Fordney Versus Byrd. When the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, was under discussion In the house, Representative Joseph W. Fordne/"*bf Michigan, who is the chiefest standpatter of them all, resented with a good deal of bitterness certain assertions which were made by Representative Adam Byrd of Mississippi. Mr. Byrd has Indian blood in bis veins and it may he that the admixture was in part responsible for his readiness to go on the warpath. ~ Pordney's direct word- was "You don't know what you are talking about," and at this the Mississlpian started down the aisle from his seat to pass around in front of the speaker's desk to reach Fordney. He did not walk; he ran, and in running he ehed his coat, a fact which made harder the attempts of his colleagues to stop him for their fingers slipped from his shirt sleeves easily while ho was rushing for his prey. Fordney stood absolutely immovable, but everybody knew he was ready. The two men were apparently physical equals, but Fordney in his early life had been a lumber jack and he was in trim that day us he is in trim i Bloomingdale. today.

The curtain may start from the 1 "very edge' of the window frame and •extend beyond the width of the drapery.

A narrow rod of brass is used and *be draperies' are hung from small *brass rings, This makes a dainty, wimple dressing for the narrow window. It is o'ten difficult to treat the latticed vindow effectively. Perhaps a cord or narrow band of the same material. Another srfjkgestlon for the plain window is to have the draperies extend twelve or fourteen toshes below the sill. A valance loins them at the top. The narrow rod may be of braes or painted wood. The curtains are hung from small brass rings. Pretty French cretonnes or poplins make attractive draperies. Plain col- PAROLE GRANTED ON ADVICE OF JUDGE WEIST AND THREE PHYSICIANS.

FITTING CORSET TO FIGURE ^ * - V One of the 8ecrete of 8ueeess in Dress, According to Expert Who Should Know. This is the season of the year when we are plunged Into a very debauch of clothes. Of course the foundation of all good dressing lies in the corset, and the woman who wishes to he well dressed takes the precaution of buying good stays.

Glazier, Michigan's ex-state treasurer, who was sentenced to from 10 to 15 years for misappropriating state funds the people had intrusted to him as treasurer. Glazier has served but two years, lacking ten days, of bis term. He leaves Jackson penitentiary on a parole. This was granted by Gov. OBborn following the recommendation of two physicians and Judge Howard Wiest, of Lansing, who imposed sentence on Glazier, that the prisoner would die unless given his freedom. He is now in the prison hospital being treated for diabetes. For several months letters and postal cards have been pouring into the executive office urging Gov. Osborn to exercise the prerogative of his office and release Glazier. Signatures to these were secured by the prisoner's family. Some politicians also have interceded in behalf of the- former state official. For several months efforts have been made to secure the recommendation of Judge Weist that Glazier be given a parole, but the jurist who imposed sentence was firm in the belief that the convicted state official should complete bis term behind the grim walls of Jackson prison. Recently, however, he was induced to visit the prison to see the prisoner, and the condition of Glazier's health, aB stated by physicians, induced him, it is said, to concur in the recommendation of the two physicians. Ever since her husband was sentenced, the devoted wife of the ex-state treasurer has worked untiringly to secure executive clemency, Through her efforts thousands of letters have been malted to the executive office and she has paid numerous visits to the gbvernor in an effort to secure favorable action. Senator Charles B. Townsend has volunteered to act as Glazier's first friend. SIEVE FOR HIVE ENTRANCES _ J mi • r JWmple Device May Be Made of Piece of Zinc Excluder, Strips of Wood and Cardboard.

No sharp lookout has to be kept; in fact, none at all, for whether one examines the sieve in 15 or 20 minutes, which is the usual time for them to go in, or five hours, later, as I did with the last hive, the queen is sure to be in the sieve. All I have to do is to put in the sieve, shake the bees, and let them take their time to go in, and the queen fs surely safe. BA0 EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE Beat for Farmer* to Grew Thojr Own Wh#* PoealWov-0oofj' Quality Is Obtained at 8mall Coat Most farmers can aid should grow their own seed; grains, li\ i* a very difficult and expensive practice to depend upon purchasing the proper variety and quality from the seedsman. With thorough preparation of land and culture, and very little extra cost of labor, most, if not all, the seed grain and most of the common vegetable seeds may be grown aa good, and oftentimes of better quality, than seeds bought at twice the coet. As, for example, a certain field of wheat might on the average be totally unfit for seed, while some parts of the field may be of a very good quality. By a little extra effort the seed may be selected from this small patch, threshed separately and run through the fanning mill once or twice to remove all small and shrunken grain and weed seeds. It may be best to thrash out a few bushels of grain with the old-time flail and hand pick the grain. After securing enough gr»ln to seed an acre—a start with Gr'0<! seed may be had and the standard can be kept up by selecting the best land, properly preparing the seed bet? and giving thorough cultivation and extra care in harvesting and threshing. The same method should be followed in the selection of oats, barley and corn. Although the quality of corn grown may be good, yet by careful selection of the best ears an Improvement of both yield and quality of grain may be had. It will cost no more to grow a good ear of corn than a poor one. A good standard variety will sell for considerable more for seed. A Scotch, gardener, known to the writer, made quite a neat little sum by growing a certain variety of sweet corn, lima beans and tomato seed for a northern seed firm. HIB sweet corn seed had a large sale and at an extra price. The winter is the time to select the seeds for next spring's sowing. Take time in making the selection; it is a profitable winter's work. A! ways" Makes Good CELLULAR FEEDER FOR BEES Maryland Station Makes Interesting Experiments Showing Injurious Effects on Exposed Manure. The Maryland station allowed 80 tons or manure to be exposed to the weather for one year and found that the amount was reduced to 27 tons at the end of that period. Professor Shutt of Canada allowed two tons of manure, containing 1,938 pounds of organic matter, to lie exposed during the four_ warmest months from April 29-to August 20 and found the amount reduced to 655 pounds, and the nitrogen was reduced from 48.1 pounds to 27.7 pounds, or almost one-half was lost. The experiments emphasise the necessity of putting the manure on the land as soon as possible. It is sometimes piled up and allowed to heat, Ingeniously Constructed Device for Use During Early 8pring When Food Is Lacking.

W e a t h e S c h o o l O f f i c e r s M e e t i n g a t H o w e l l L a s t S a t u r d a y One of the Urgent meeting* of school officers ever held was beld at tbe oooti room Saturday January 27th. Not onjf; directors were mere but other oJaOtra asm a large number of ladies. •. ^, School officers iif f J•ImjBpTHiii i niiiilj who failed to visit tbe meeting here conducted by G. S. Lasher of the Department of Public Instruction, missed a keenly interesting discussion of the changes in school Uws and desired reforms in tbe methods of teaching and conducting school affairs. Some of the information proved little short ot startling to those present and as a result there was a lively round of questions asked Mr. Lasher, who readily responded to them all. School Officers, however are not the only ones who will be interested in the matters discussed, as the various points ehou Id command the attention of every taxpayer and person interested in the public schools Some of the ideas advanced by the speaker were almost revolutionary in character,but they are being approved by all the leading educators of to-day. Perhaps one of the most startling statements made by the speaker in discussion of the laws was that the legislature of 1911 whieh gave to the school boards almost complete taxing power, taking that privelege away from the people of the district. Under the new laws which went into effect last August, the people of the district can vote money for very few purposes, chiefly for the buying of site and the erection of school bouses. The board levies the other taxes. The peop'a have no right to dictate how much the board shall raise, bow much they shall pay to teachers, what repairea are to be made or from whom fuel is to be purchased. The board aloue has au* thority in those matters and can contract with teachers, boy furnishings and equipment for the schools, making repairs of all kinds of school property, purchase a heating plant, drive a well, build a woodshed and outhouses, paint the buildings, grade the ground, intact do all things to make your school property an honor to your district. The importance of the responsibility placed upon the school board was strongly emphasied, stating that now, if school property is poorly cared for if teachers and pupils are forced to work with inadequate equipment and unpleasant Burronndings that the blame settles entirely upon the school officers. Miss Benjamin, as well as Mr. Lasher urged them to take advantage os their power and fix up the school houtM A of this county and make them pleasant, comfortable and attractive for the boys and girls of this connty. The new law, also states a few things the boar 1 cannot do. No member on the board can do any work for the TllBtrict and" secure pay for tbe same. If they do, it is a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, as aoy person, can make a complaint. School officers were urged not to run any risks, but to live up to the law even though it cost the district mote money.—There are only three things for which a school officer may draw money. For attending sshool meetings, taking the school census, aad eatery, which in district* having less than fifty pupils on tbe school census cannot exceed $25. and those having between fifty and one hundred cannot exceed $50- for three officers.

' \Jfcsfc ; H t at Brown's Drag furnished the district would be an illegial for the return of the amount of the order to the district. The people at the annual meeting cannot nullify the laws byvoting to pay such orders to officers. The free tuition law came in for considerable attention. Under this law, the district not maintaining a legal high school must pay tuition up to 920. a year foieach pupil, who desires to attend one of the three nearest high schools. A high school is defined as a graded district maintaining twelve grades of work and having at least two teachers devoting their entire teaching time to the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades, Ten graded schools however, in graded districts, having a teacher giving his or her entire teaching time to the ninth and tenth grades may receive tuition from other district and cannot pay tuition for its pupils until they have passed the tenth grade at home. In order for pupils to be qualified for this tuition, they must either pass the county eighth grade examination secure a statement from a superintendent of some graded school that they have passed the eighth grade there or have had their tuition paid under the free tuition law of 1909. A parent, guardian or person who stands in parental relation must make a written application on or before the fonrth Monday in June in each year, that the child desires tuition. Children must be of school age and residents of the diatriot. Heretofore the coarse of study has bean adopted by district boards* The present law, however, makes ft mandatory for the Superintendent of Publie Instruction to outline tbe coarse of study for all schools •coaptthe city schools and the teachers moat follow the outline. A justice of the peace cannot suspend sentanosin ease whet* a person ia con* viotad nnder th« oosapolsory school law. tbe duty of the teachers to report all non attendance which came under truancy to the county commiaaionet or school superintendent in the villages or cities. An amendment to the law gives the Iruan' officer authority over the out houses, iu compelling boards to make them decent and sanitary. The people at the annual meeting may designate some bank as a depository for diutriet funds and whea the bank files a bond with the district, the treasurer must deposit all the district funds there under the direction of the board. In case the bank fails tbe treasurer and his personal bondsmen are released from their liability. District treasurers must deposit the funds in any case in their own names as treasuier and whether the bank is named as a depository or uot. All interest paid to the treasurer must be paid into the general fund, otherwise the treasurer is liable to tine or im priHonment. He must keep district money separate from his personal funds and must keep a book of receipts and expenditures. Holidays to be observed by the closing of schools are as follows: Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Decoration and all Saturdays. Teachers cannot m*ke up lost time on Saturdays. School is to be maintaiued on Washington's birthday, Lincoln's birthday and Columbus day; but appropriate exercises are ts be given in observance. The school census is to be taken within the fifteen days previous to the first day of June and must be a house to house canvass. If children move ont of the district before the fifteenth they must be crossed off the List. In order to vote at school meeting a man or women must be a citizen of the U. A. tweuty-one years of age, a resident of the district at least three months, either a landowner of property assessed for school purposes or a parent or a guardian of children between the ages of five and twenty. Only tax payers can vole to levy taxes. Only tax "paying electors are eligible to hold office and their names most be on the assessment roll, except in a case of a husband and wife owning property on a joint deed. After election a person must within ten days file a written acceptance with the director together with an affidavit taken before justice or ntOary stating that he or she 1B legally qualified to hold office. No person is legally an officer until this is done. The importance of good books as an adjunct to education, was clearly brought out and distriotswere urged to provide tb/ right kind of reading in their schools. The slate libary is ready to send fifty books to schools for their use for six months and will also send pictures of artistic worth all framed for use in school rooms. The only expense incurred by the district being the freight. A vote was taken by those present, in favor of the text books being uniform throughout the state. This was car* ried and the commissioner was asked to appoint a committeeto draw up resolution to that effect, In dosing Mr. Lasher made a strong plea for the securing of good teachers and earnest co-operation and support on tbe part of the school board members in their relation to the teachers and the schools. at SOUTH I O S C O .

The street suit of chic sort ^ ^undisputed allurements, hut the gowif of mora elegant description, .which tells of\ the receptions, high teas vlsHing, etc., bears with It something far more entrancing.

One veeks for becomingness above all <% -,;A&#.<£ •i # : ! mm ' > • * &%?. waisted coats short-bodices with Innumerable sorts of peplum tails, and the one-piece gown m air its ramifications are other favored models. Few long skirts appear for day wear, although if the reception la to be followed by a "dansant," the hostess, or the young matron who helps her re* ceive, may wear a unique "tail"—the skirt running out into a sharp point behind, or else bunched together with a buckle or rosette. How funny the styles of the day will appear a decade hence, when history has shelved them, with things dead and gone. In the Interim there is no abatement In the love of foolishness—tight skirts, mammoth handbags, hats which look like Indian headdresses, bushel baskets, what not. And as yet the foolishness is aH lovely. In the illustration the one-piece effect is given here and a flat trimming used on both waist and skirt. The style Is charming for a fancy wool, veiling, cloth, or marquisette, andhere quite an inexpensive novelty cloth in black and white is used. The trimming is black velvet, the buttons being covered with the gown goods. Black and white, all black, black with color! Who can foresee the banishment of black for use in color, the time when it will be regarded as passee, unbecoming, undesirable? Nobody can, for the good "reason that black is forever rewarding to becomingness, forever smart, distinguished, rare; and so, although season by season new colors come and go, the black dress In all Us phases remains.

If you hare, you were doubtless enraged and blamed the cook. She probably told you that the salad just came from the refrigerator, and if she is truthful she left you without argument Refrigerating is about the - only method of keeping saalds cold that most women know. They think if the ingredients are put in a dish on the Ice everything has been done. Here is how one woman, noted for her delicious salads, keeps them icy cold. The fruit, meat or other ingredients are made ready early In the morning of the day they are to lje used, then wrapped in an old napkin or clean muslin and laid flat on the tee; there they stay until the last possible minute for mixing. When ready for use they are taken out and mixed by layers with the mayonnaise in a bowl that Is chilled by standing in a larger bowl of ice. The mayonnaise is kept in the refrigerator until needed, and the lettuce is washed as soon as bought, then dried and wrapped in a cloth and put flat an the ice until used.

But one thing is everywhere observable—the black and white scheme must be definite sharp black, sfcf»rp .^^;to and'never little blurring mixtures. You literally see the gown coming like a circus horse—that is, if it is the latest French notion in wool or velveteen. With the black and white gown many pure white hats and fur sets are worn, or else the hat will be black with a white fancy feathter, while the charming markings of pointed fox will AlHROUND CHOUSE If you get too much salt into your tomato soup, add a bit of brown sugar. It seems to- make salty soup taste all right. But better still is to add a few slices of raw potato. To mend linen tablecloths remove the presser-foot from your machine.

As to styles, how many there are to choose from. The close slip covered with a Greek shirt, in some finer con- •*" > trastlng material, is much admired for young married women who give smart receptions, and to whom the classic stamp is becoming. Fine wools ondl velvet textures made up with high White Blouses Revived. It seems essential to wear some touch of black at the neck of a white blouse these days, and the fashion will be followed out in America without doubt. More thin white blouses are sold than for the last four years, because they have returned to favor with morning suits, provided they are quite plain and very sheer. The only trimming allowed is a narrow band of Irish Insertion down the front and at the collar and on edge of Irish Picot on the frills over the hand and down the front. Probably everybody knows that boiled ham and corned beef have a nicer flavor if left to cool in the liquor in which they are cooked, but a lot of people don't follow the practice, possible because they dislike the large greasy kettle to wash late in the day. To take the smell of fish from hands, wash them in water which contains a few drops of ammonia. To take the odor of onions from dishes, after washing them, put them on the stove a few seconds to be heated thoroughly. When cool again the odor will be gone. Kerosene or gasolene applied with a cloth will remove all grease marks Rinsei well with hot water. To aSsiston' bleaching hjory after It has been wapied,-expose it to the sun.

The senator returned a moat sarcastic reply, declining to recommend the appointment. It is said that he never forgot the merited rebuke he received from the friend who had suggested the appointment. "My Dear Senator: I think it would be well for you to reserve your sarcasm for the rapidly increasing number of your enemies, instead of offering It to the decreasing number of your friends, of whom I am one." * ,U". m* m Burial Vaulift MfCUlGAN SflP • * » > • L ¥ * • • • • . - ' • • . .,,- The Ca4aa1sl aMIItnt.

From the standpoint of utility, ex* cept in so far as decoroUveneas Is utility, not much can be said for the average cat these days. The cat enjoy* Us privileges without greatly con* corning itself with the responsibilities. And in point of fact, its services in Most bouses would be superfluous. The mousetrap now does for most households what the cat formerly did. Sat la the cat particularly distinguished by the affection for its master which Is ao conspicuous in the dog, Its sole domestic rival for the warm spot under the kitchen stove. If you will note the cat carefully, you erUl observe that it usually wants something of you when it comes around. None of its calls are courtesy calls. The arched back and the "mew-mew" are eloquent of its desires. If it does not receive these marks of attention and fails to find anything else that Interests it, say. a nice warm spot in your lap to take a dose on, the cat moves majestically and Indifferently away. Tour personality has no particular charm for i t tt admires the radiator more than it does you, These characteristic symp* toms of self-centeredness and grave detachment are reinforced by the eyes of the cat. A cat's eyes look at you, tat they seem to be looking beyond you, They are like the eyes of the caged lion, which always seem to be seeing the distant desert that It loves sad that is calling to it by night and slay. ALBION COMMON COUNCIL EXONERATES CITY TREA8UREH FOR LOSS OP FUNDS IN BANK FAILURE. ALL MICHIGAN IS PRODUCTIVE SAYS JOHN L. GIBSON. 8aI© of Sweet Cider Is Not Barred in "Dry" Counties It Opinion of Attorney General Franz C. Kuhn. From year to year there have come reports of the Increase of deer in Gonneedcut which western people hsve found It difficult to believe. Last year there were complaints that the protected animals were destroying farmers' crops. This year comes the story that &e Connecticut game wardens have given warning that motormen on interurban electric cars must exercise the utmost care not to run down deer which happen to; get upon the track, or they will be made to Incur the full penalty of the law for Wiling deer out of season. It is said that a considerable number of deer hsve been killed in this way, especially at night, when they were attracted by the headlight*. Deer stalking with an electrio oar la certainly a modern method of acquiring venison; but they were always an ingenious folk in the state of the wooden, nutmeg. - A bonfire was held by the Postofflce Department of over 170,000 Christmas postal cards, barred because of their tinsel decoration, notification having been made that these cards are unmailable on account of danger to the clerka in handling. The number sent in spite of the warning shows that men and women are but children of a larger growth, who keep on doing things apparently because they have been told not to do them. Petition Frees Albion Treasurer, The Albion common council has unanimously voted to exonerate City Treasurer W. J. Morse from aH responsibility for the loss of city funds, to the amount of $7,056,34, which were in the Albion Natinal bank at the time of its failure, Jan. 2, and the loss will fall upon the taxpayers. A petition, signed by taxpayers representing more than half of the total city tax roll was presented, asking that Morse be absolved from blame. Public sentiment was almost unanimously In favor of the city taking the blame for the loss, as the council, contrary to the state law, had not designated the depository, the treasurer, following the custom of splitting up the money In the three banks. Had the council not taken the action they did, Morse, who is in the clothing business, would have failed. The payment of the stockholders' assessments is going on at present. Very few are paying the sum set against their names in one amount, but most of them are taking advantage of the fear months' time allowed by the government. ENLARGE STiTE CAPITOL Many Lawyers Join in Movement for Erection of New Wing. because the state supreme court and hundreds of lawyers are forced to work In inadequate quarters at Lansing and because legal business Is thus greatly handicapped, bar associations throughout the state are uniting In an effort to have the next legislature provide for enlarging the^ state capitol. The Michigan State Bar association, the Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalama. /.oo, Marquette, Branch, Calhoun and Genesee associations have ': adopted resolutions calling for this action on the part of the next legislature and pledging the efforts of their members towards this. Jt is expected that every city and county bar association in the state will follow the example set. GOVERNMENT INSTRUCTS COMMANDER TO RMSH SOLDIERS TO TEXAS BORDER 4FJBIT.

"Education in better methods of farming and fruit growing is what is needed in this state," declared John U Gibson, secretary of the Western Michigan Development bureau at the luncheon of the Board of Commerce in the Tuller hotel, Detroit. He said that there is hardly an acre of land in Michigan which cannot be made productive. "We have the land, the climate and all other advantages, and there is no reason why this state should not be a banner one. We have the advantage because while we can raise the choicest applea and other fruit here, in the western states they have to raise the finest to make It pay." Sweet Cider la Not Barred. In response to a request of Prose. cuting^Attorney W. Glenn Cowell, of Coldwater, Attorney General Franz C. Kuhn has rendered an opinion that sweet or unferraented cider may be lawfully manufactured and sold in thofle counties where the local option law ha* been adopted. Since the decision in the case of the People vs. Eberle, in which the supreme court held that hard cider cannot be sold, or given away in any quantity, except as part of a host's hospitality, throughout the state there have been many who have questioned the right of anyone to even make cider for vinegar in a dry county.

State lands in Michigan are going to cost more in the future. Dollar lands are to be things of the past. These are among the various, things agreed on at the meeting of the public domain commission held in Lansing. Secretary Carton wants to see all state lands placed at a value of at least $8 an acre. Several members thought such a change would not be Jnst the thing to do at present. Eventually, however, the state lands wltt be raised to that figure. As the result of a row that has been brewing for months, Deputy Postmaster William McCracken, of St. Joseph, has been dismissed from the postal service. An order to this effect was issued by the department at Washington 60 days ago. The order was based on the ground that the office was supplied with too much help and that the postmaster had the right to recommend any employe's dismissal. Although the latter was under civil service he had. no trial the first assistant postmaster general merely removing him from office.

Pasquale Orozoco, idol of the peons of Chihuahua, commander-in-chief of ruralea in the state, reached Juarez on a special train, accompanied by his staff, and it is believed the end of the mutiny is in sight, Orozoco was greeted by a chorus of "vivas" that fairly shook the half destroyed looted buildings, and the mutineers wanted to embrace him. Orozoco said he came to restore peace, not to fight, and immediately went into conference with the chosen leaders of the mutineers. The leaders declare they are for Orozoco, first, last, and forever.

Act ffl-sf^Jb soonwtSs fW» iful Dairyman -Rigs Up Portia Tank, Large Enough for , Three Animals to Drink. It wouW etArtiefc'dairyman of 40 yeera ijjftf totfook at acme of the records eatahlianed recently by- leading dairy breeds in. America. Then a cow that would produce 27,482 pounds milk in a year would have been considered as prosperous as the old world looked upon Columbus' idea of the earth being round. However, Colantha 4th Johanna, the famous Hobrtein cow, produced that amount of nHlkiunder careful supervision. It tested 3,64 per cent butter fat, being a total of 998 pounds butter fat for the year. Another Holsteta, Lunde Korndyke, was a.3close : second, with 26,192 pounds milk to her credit for a year, wWch tested S.88 per cent, or a total of 872 pounds butter fat. However, ail good cows are not Hotetein*. Readers will recall the remarkable record of the Guernsey cqiw, Dolly Dimple. She produced 18,808 pounds milk in a year which, tested out 878 pounds fat. Jersey' breeders have something to brag about. Jacobs Irene produced 17,358 pounds milk in a year, which yielded 952 pounds butter fat. Another Jersey cow, Olga 4th*s Pride, gave 16,275 pounds milk, producing 671 pounds butter fat in a year. A third Jersey, Sophie 19th, while giving only 14,373 pounds milk, made 854 pounds butter fat. There are a half dozen or more well-known. Jersey cows that have exceeded the 800-pound mark for butter fat in 365 days. When the average farmer gets a cow that WiH produce 300 pounds butter fat he thinks he has something pretty good. Then again, Ayrshires are not to be ignored. Netherhall Brownie 9th, an A successful dairyman recently out lined to us 'his method of watering the cows fn the barn, Bays the Ohio Farmer. He objected to using the long, continuous feed trough for watering, his objections being that there will be in the process considerable evaporation into the atmosphere of the barn. Damp air in the barn "means that it will be chilly. The evapo r a t i o n from the gutters and radiation from the cows saturate the air more than it should be witSout any further addition from the trough. To overcome that objection and yet provide a means of waterlog in the stall he had rigged a trough on'low wheels. This movable tank was so constructed that it would run' nfcely above the continuous feed trough. In that Way the cows can be watered in a very short while without being loosened from their stalls. The tank was made long enough so that three cows could drink at a time. A man may be sweeping the feedway at the same time or doing other work whib» moving this tank cart from time to time. Jersey Heifer. Ayrshire cow, has a record of 18,110 pounds milk which produced 820 pounds butter fat. Other breeds like Brown Swiss and the dairy strain of Shorthorn have interesting records back of them. When a dairyman Rets out of sorts with the world and thinks little progress is being made'let him contemplate some of these facts and note the really remarkable strides dairy cattle breeding has experienced the past half dozen years. < The woman who "keep* boose" has eaeagVte do when she is in good, sound healfb, be*if T#B* iarwsak, tired all the time/ and angering fsom mom to night with en-aching back, house-work becomes a heavy burden. Many women who were afflicted in this way say that Dean's Kidney Pills have mads hfe easier for them. Women arc subject to kidney disease. The clothing they wear, the. work they do, the worry and strain of bearing and rearing children, the laok of proper exercise; aS tend to it. •Backache, bearing-down pains, headache, dizzy spells, famtness, fits of "blues," and other troubles often thought to be peculiar to the sex, are found frequently in kidney disease. When any one of these ilk appears, together with a discolored condition of the kidney secretions, with passages, too frequent, scanty or burning, just make up your mind that your kidneys are weak, .and be quick to help them. Doan's Kidney Pills have helped a great many weak women through the trying times when kidney disease means so much tdded misery. They do not disturb the stomach or bowels and contain no poisonous, dangerous nor habit-forming drugs. Doan's are harmless for children too.

They were on their wedding tour, and imagined that every civility given them related to their new condition of servitude. Having stopped at a way station, the bridegroom was approached by the station agent, who asked: "Are you going to take the next train?" "It's none of your business," retorted the bridegroom, indignantly, as he guided the bride up the platform, where they condoled with each other over the impertinence of some of the natives. Onward came the train, its vapor curling from afar. It was the last to their destination that day—an express. Nearer and nearer it came at full speed; then in a moment it whizzed past and was gone, "Why in thunder didn't that train stop!" yelled the bridegroom. "Cos -you said 'twarn't none of my bizness. I has to signal if that train's to stop." A DRAW. Cleaning the Separator.

"No." 1 He drew his breath sharply, bis round face rosy. "Then you have got to listen to me, for I'm deadly in earnest I'm an old, rough, bald-headed fool that don't know much about women—I never thought before I'd "ever want to—but you can bet on one thing, I'm square. Anybody In this town will tell you I'm Bquare. They'll tell you that whatever I says goes. I've never run around much with women; somehow 1 never exactly liked the kind I've cpnie up against, and maybe they didn't feel any particular interest in me. I didn't cut much shine as a ladles' man, but, I reckon now, it's only because the light one hadn't happened along. She 1B here now, though, all right, and I knew it the very first time I set eyes on her. Oh, you roped and tied me all right the firs£ throw. Maybe I did get you apd that half-sister mixed up a bit, but just the same you were the one I really wanted. Hope's all right; she's a mighty fine girl, but do you Imagine he ever got her to go with him? She isn't that sort of a girl." She shook her head, shivering a little. "He mu&t have mistaken her tor me—perhaps has not even yet discovered his mistake. But what It all means, or how be gained her consent to go with him, I cannot conceive." She Btood with hands clasped, staring out of the window. "There is a little light showing already," she exclaimed, pointing. "See. yonder. Oh, I trust they will find her alive, and unhurt.

"Not that way—nqt that "way," and she turned impulsively, with hands outstretched. "Of course I want you here with me, but I want you to help bring Hope back." He drew her to him, supremely happy now, every feeling of embarrassment lost in complete certainty of possession. "And I will," he said solemnly, "Wherever they may have gone I shall follow. I am going now, dear, and when I come back you'll be glad to see me?" "Shall I?" her eyes uplifted to his own, and_ swimming in tears. "I will be the happiest girl in all the world, 1 reckon. Oh, what a night this has been! What a wonderful night! It has given me a name, a mothdf, and the man I love." He kissed her, not in passion, but in simple tenderness, and as he turned away she sank upon her knees at the window, with bead bowed upon the sill. At the door he paused and looked back, and she turned, and smiled at him. Then he went out, and she _knelt there silently, gazing forth Into the dawn, her .eyes blurred with tears—facing a new day, and a new life. (TO B B CONTINUED.) Wild 8trawberrtes. Strawberries bare Improved very much In flavor since the fifteenth century Until then the only strawberries eaten were wild strawberries Of a kind which would never find a market nowadays. By 148 , however, tfcsy were beginning to be cultivated, for Hollnahed records under that date a particularly fine crop rrown by the Bishop of Ely in the grounds of bis palace, now covered by Hatton Oarden. He quotes the Duke of Gloucester aa saying to the Bishop, "My lord, you bave very good strawberries in your' garden in Hoi born. I require you to let us have a mesa of them." This speech was copied almost verbatim by Shakespeare in -Richard HI." Still. even the Bishop's fruit would not appeal much to modern connoisseurs, for tbe garden strawberries at that period were only transplanted wild lings, the plants being sold at about 4d. a bushel.—London Chronicle. • # * • * ' 'W ' '*^*~afcp interested me," admitted the, gJlv-besltaticgly, her eyes darkening, with sudden anger.

Richmond.—A jinx, or hoodoc seems to bave taken possession ol the Richmond Congregational church. Last April owing to disaffection among the members, the pastor, Rev. W. W. Oadd, who had served the church fox nearly eight years, resigned in the hope that ti.e two factions would get together and mend the breach, which from a mere crack, bad become a chasm, as is the way In church differences. Except for vacation supplies, the pulpit has not been filled since. In November the members called Rev. 0. H. Bachelor of New York, but he has been unable to come, owing to illness of his wife. Meanwhile the members are becoming discouraged and indifferent. OWOBBO.—Raiding a residence in a respectable quarter of the city that was fast becoming notorious, the sheriff's force found 12 persons assembled and confiscated a large quantity of beer and whisky In jugs and bottles. Mrs. Maud Perry, who resides in the place; Amon (Kid) Wheeler, known locally as a prizefighter, and Sam Rourke, are In jail awaiting examination February 13. Warrants have been out several weeks for the Perry woman's husband, Wil* riiam Perry, and for Wheeler's wife, who are charged with violation df the local option law, but the police have been unable to locate them. Ludington—John I. GibBOu, secretary of the western Michigan development bureau, who has just concluded a campaign through Indiana, will sail for Ireland March 15. Mr. Gibson will deliver there his lecture showing the advantages of western Michigan. More than a thousand settlers have been added to this section during the last year through the efforts of the bureau, which had its inception here three years ago at a board of trade banquet. Algonac.—Maple Leaf lodge, No. 405, I. 0. 0. F., of this place has made elaborate arrangements for a fair and carnival to be held all of next week. Raffles, "spinning Jennies," fortune tellers and various other specialties, besides sales of various character from handsomely decorated booths, presided over by pretty girls, will keep things humming. Carnival features in the way of entertainment will be added attractions. The big prize of the Affair is an automobile. Ionia.—The supremo court has iecided that Lyons township, in Ionia county, must accept a poor farm, which was bequeathed to them by the late John Dougherty, a resident ot tuat township until his death a little aver one year ago. Dougherty was a wealthy farmer. He left a large estate valued at nearly 920,000. In his will he bequeathed his homestead valued it $10,000 to the township, to be used In caring for the needy. Many voters, It is alleged, urged the other heirs to Bght the donation on the ground that It would always be a source of trouble and expense to the taxpayers. Battle Creek,—For the first time In America radium was used here Tor the treatment of a paralytic. G. C. Clark of Houston, Tex., took the first emanation bath ever given on United States soil, with Olaf Anderson, a Swedish nurse, at the helm and Dr. J. H. Kellogg in command. The Austrian government recently made it possible for Doctor Kellogg, then its guest, to obtain a small quantity of the precious mineral. So small is the world's supply of radium that there are only six Institutions in the world able to give the treatment, two in Vienna, two in Berlin, one at Joachimitahl, Bohemia, where radium was discovered, and the one in Battle Creek. Kalamazoo.—Through a sale completed the old Kalamazoo college building, erected more than a half century ago and for years the largest educational institution in Michigan, excepting tbe University of Michigan, will be torn down during the next few weeks and the land it occupies will be platted into building lots. It Is said $25,600 was paid for the building and block of land. The funds secured from the sale of the building and lot will be used In the erection of a new gymnasium for the college. The structure was abandoned about ten years ago for college purposes and since that time has. stood idle. Hillsdale.—Deputy United States Marshal Lyon of Detroit was hero to arrest M. L.

A simple and practical way td prevent drafts entering under a door that has, through shrinkage, a wide crack under it, is to fold three thicknesses of paper together just the width of the door and two lncnes deep and cover it with serge or cloth as near the color of the door as possible. Sew to this three amall brass rings, one a quarter of an inch from each end and one in the middle. Fasten into the bottom of the door three small screw-hooks and hang the rings to them. You will have a perfect protection from cold air coming under the door and one that Is easily removed and kept dusted. Reward of fctrlt. "Go on, sab!

As a warrior and as a statesman he won fame In a superlative degree and y e t It may be found, upon reaearcb, that h e showed the same exceptional fJMaer ure of ability in the more modest pursuits of planter and country squire. There Is, however, o n e branch of the great man's activities that has been almost wholly over* looked by students of the many-sided Washington. This concerns his numerous and extensive undertakings as an architect and builder —operations that in scope might have seemed t o afford a sufficient career for any ordinary citizen. Of course there Is no desire to create the impression that the nation's first president was professionally an "architect and builder" as w e interpret the term today. On the contrary at no period of his life did he devote his entire time to tbis form of activity nor did/be depend upon it as a means of livelihood. But circumstances seemed to combine t o compel Washington to assume responsibilities a s an amateur architect and builder, if we may thus qualify tbe term. On the one hand was the circumstance that h e w a s master "f an eight thousand-acre estate and there was always more or less s M AIRJfltW WJP» "To* ought tab* very oo*4 need* attention^; Thai ?.*>;. \*$- * • 3fe^ «1 m&> , > • , $£&# •*ii&-lh: isi W •^ *tt hoe* t y ^ f^v*y^;Bcw&» "*mtim 4mmv<ml #m* tor 001¾ inAaoia, poeojaoaja. an4 d*ick OOJJ* '«%•; % trtend'ola^aa teolra, cote not half so , ¾ «a yours, last wee* and in three days ho was de*d!» * -***l7 •twit* - . - ••' ^z' ; f, •>-: •Taot The doctor asir| my ^riewl. might has oulled throuith If he h&4n'€; worried ao muob.

On the other hand, George Washington, in. later life, as the leading official of a new republic •- and the found*n <ft••$#»«. ^capital, had thrust upon him innumerable4 questions or architectural policy and selection which, perforce, requisitioned all bis ability in this line. That Washington sbjouid have developed such ability as a practical aifid consulting architect is by to means strange when we take into account his early experience as a surveyor. This 6ccupa» Hon which be followed during much of his young manhood gave him splendid iudgment as to th|P^%r%#fi^«ttle more than one story m height. buildings that finally gave Mount Vernon the semblance of a wellordered village. General Washington even planned the walks which are a conspicuous feature of the landscape work at Mount Vernon. About live miles from Mount Vernon is Woodlawn, a charming Colonial mansion which atands to this day in an excellent state of preservation and is generally accounted, next to Mount Vernon, the most significant of all the buildings that bear the impress of Washington's Individuality. General Waah* ington built Woodlawn as a wedding gift for his favorite, Nelly Custis, the adopted daughter upon Tvhon> centered the affections of his later life. TBie main building at Woodlawn, which Is of pure Colonial design, Is forty by sixty feet in size. At Htfftfl such structures there are wings connected by ofiTvidor* with the main" structure and these residences was not by any means limited to country homes. There are la the eity^of Wash* ington several buildings which attest his talent in this direction with reference to dwellings in urban surroundings. Perhaps the most Interesting and certain* . ly 4he moat historic in thifl category Is "Octagon House," whleh is located only a few block* from the White House and is today one of the show pjpcee of tbe capital, having served in later, years as the permanent headquarters of the American institute ot Architects. The nation's first, chief magistrate laid off tbe ground in this vlcmfty and prepared the original plans for the mansion,- although, as in the caBe of two qf the mansions above mentioned, it wap left to others to carry out the plans thus formulated. Octagon House, wbich is of added interest because it was temporaruy^used as the Presidential Q*Ke the Cotatrai-y. Being anxious aa til bis prospects In one of the early attempts to enter parliament, Herbert Samuel consulted his agent, who said the chances were not rosy, because he was a "carpetbagger." Mr. Samuel thereupon promised to live In the division if ne were successful, and bills were Immediately posted that "if Herbert Samuel is returned next Tuesday he will come to life bere." -y'^. Some of tbe other .. side, however, posted one of these bilfr on a plgety'. Mr. Samuel did not wis the election. —London Telegraph.

Likewise located at n o great distance from aMfittfct Vernon is Arlington Mansion,; which is, to the same degree a s t h e manor house lust SHKtioned, a m o m i m e n t t o the architectural ability of George Washington. The* mansion at Arlington, to be sure, was not erected until after the death o f Washington, but the -buttder w a s Washington Parke Custis, the adopted son* of George Washington, who had lived for years a t Mount-Vernon and who w a s not only tboroagftly familiar with Washington's architectural ideaa, {mi ha4 talked over with htm theTequltements of the site at Arlington.

The stone is still in good oonditloa. although moasy with ago." The foot stone as wall as the headstone is solid, giving evidence of careful work on the part of the ones who placed It there. Too grave was evidently chosen a century ago as a secluded spot, and when found trees*--«&4erbnuh and shrubbery nearly hid it from sight The words on this headstone are: Erected in memory of and to designate the place where Asa Orost, Jr., Levi Frost, Eleanor Fanner, Sarah Rodgman and Samuel Batohelder wore buried, who died of smallpox, August, 1811. At first the Boston & Maine considered getting the consent of the state to remove the stone and the dust of the bodies, but it has been decided to let the grave remain where It is. Bo these flvo persons will rest where they are and their bed of the last century will not be disturbed. No relative of the ones buried seem at an concerned about the grave and it ia doubtful If any descendants of them are living in Blllerica or Lowell at the present time. SOME ODDITIES IN SIGNS They Do Net Mean Just What They Say, but Certainly Attract Attention. "Teeth, extracted while you wait/' 1s the rather superfluous announcement of a dentist; while another advertiser appeals to ladies in this seductive manner: "Ladies having old feathers can be re-dyed and made equal to new." Equally open to misconstruction are the following notice*: "All gloves in this window 50c per pair. These won't last ton* at the price." "Dine here once, and you'll never dine anywhere else;" and "A competent person wanted to undertake the sale of a new medicine that will prove highly lucrative to the undertaker." But perhaps the best of these ambiguous advertisements Is that of a Japanese laundry, which runs thus: "Contrary to our opposite company, we will most cleanly and carefully cheap prices as follows: Ladies, %% per 100; gentlemen, $1.50 per 100. After these one reads without a shock such notices as the following: Under a pair of hob-nailed boots-— "Unwearable, $3;" In the window of a email store in Portland—"New_ milk," and on a card immediately underneath —"our own make."

The crier took care to mention all the titles and academic honors of the doctor, as well as his place of residence. He soon became the talk of the town.

In Flint, Muskegon, Bay City, Port Huron, Jackson, Grand Jtapids and other cities more waterpipes burst than all available plumbers can repair in a week —and these are the minor items. Flint ground is frozen to a depth of four feet and soon frost must reach and burst the city water mains—a calamity only avertible by speedy arrival of moderate temperatures. Other cities are in as perilous plight. Fuel shortage worries every town of consequence in Michigan to a greater or lesser degree. In some towns it is mounting near the edge of calamity to industry. In some places fuel supplies actually are at the vanishing point, making the cold winter of 1912 sure of its mark In history In Michigan.

The Injuns h tbem boys cooped up thar fer eight the ultimata destination of Una futgl* Uvea, Keith yet dare not venture on pressing forward during the night, thus possibly ioiing the trail and being compelled to retrace their steps, it was better to proceed slow aad sure. Besides, Judging from the condition of their own horses* the pursued would be compelled to halt somewhere to rest their stock also. Their trail even revealed the fact that they were traveling far lees rapidly than at first, although evidently making esjery effort to cover the greatest' possible distance before stopping. Just as the dusk shut in close about them they rode down into the valley of Shawnee Fork, and discovered signs of a recent camp at the edge of the stream, - Here, apparently, Judging from the -j camp-flre a*%es, %ad the trampled grass along the Fork, the party must have halted for several hours. By lighting matches Keith and Btlstoe discerned where some among them had laid down to sleep, and, through yarious^signs, decided they must have again departed some five or six hours, previous, one of their horse* limping as if lame. The tired pursuers went into camp at the same spot, but without venturing to light any fire, merely snatching a cold bite, aud dropping off to sleep with he«fdB pillowed upon their saddles. They were upon the trail again with the first dimness of the gray dawn, wading the waters of the Fork, and striking forth across the dull level of brown prairie and white alkali toward the Arkansas. They saw nothing all day moving In that wide vista about them, but rode steadily, scarcely exchanging a word* determined, grim, never swerving a yard from the fatal trail. The pursued were moving slowar, hampered, no doubt, by. their lame horse, but wens still Well in ad* vance. Moreover, the strain of the saddle was already beginning to tell severely on Walte, weakened somewhat by years, and the pursuers were compelled to halt oftener on his account The end of the second day found them approaching the broken land bordering the Arkansas valley, and Just before nightfall they picked up a lame horse, evidently discarded by the party ahead. ^ . (TO BE CONTINUED.) -as <!Mm3^.i\ MICHIGAN « S Ann Arbor,—Two bobsleds carrying )13 boasters collided on the Felch Street hill, and that there were not fatal results is regarded as re* markablt. Great credit must be giv< en Willie Mara, the lad steering the larger coaster, for avoiding a terrible accident As it was, not one of the $S escaped without a bruise or two, and several ware severely injured. Charles Shannon sustained a badly wrenched back. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Larmee were terribly bruised and cut. One young woman whose name was not learned waa badly bruised and cut about the legs. Charles BuchoU sustained a badly wrenched back, aad bis sister, Mies Hannah, waa cut about the head. A physician was called and dressed their wounds. Flint.—In a collision between a motor omnibus and a. street car on North Saginaw street, the omnibus, which was filled with worklngmen on their way to the north end factories, was struck broadside and turned over. Charles Zimmerman suffered a scalp wound and sprained back and was otherwise cut and bruised. Q. M. Tumm, another passenger on the gmnlbus, was painfully cut about the face and hands, while two other passengers were unconscious for a short time. It is feared that Zimmerman's skull may be fractured. The accident was caused by the driver of the omnibus attempting to cross the track in front the moving street car. Owosso.—In compliance with her dying request, Mrs. Fred Sanderhoff was burled wearing the stockings that she wore 54 years ago when married in Germany. Mrs. Sanderhoff's life was notable for its almost ideal happiness. Familiar on the streets of Owosso during the last few years were the aged husband and wife, walking hand In hand as they had done when sweethearts, and ever since. To Mrs. Sanderboff, who was eighty-four years old, her husband WAS always her sweetheart. * Adrian.—According to advices received by Prosecuting Attorney Mlohener, the four Marquette cC?- victs, Joe Meyer, Frank Logan, Tom Monroe and George McDonnell, sent up from Lenawee for blowing the People's bank of Brit ton, December 23, 1910, will attempt to gain their freedom by contesting the constitutionality of the "nitre-glycerine" statute under which they were convicted.

I also want to thank the "Ladies Aid," for their thought fulness in patting a heater in the parsonage. The original idea -of the "Ladies Aid," was that it was a kind of help, or an assistance to gan/sed at the^aaie of Manning Ha-jtb© church, bat the name, "Ladies neighbors, or W0»^N^filjjtlJ, « B 4 make your family i i ^ ^ f M l ^ f j ^ d hermits?

Wouldn't you rather pay a little more for a farm, or a residence in a good neighborhood than for one having no neighborhood? Tee—and yes again, we know you would. Sometimes it is a little inconvenient to have neighbors* and you feel that these very same-bothers are the added price you pajj in order to have the greater benefits accruing from having neighbors. **How would all you townspeople and you farmere like to get along without our neighborly little town of Pinckney? Not one of you—then why net quit this penny saving business '-Dd support more strongly the men who keep up the town which adds value to your farm and .property. Just figure that the pec ny you might save, if any* is the extra which you ought to pay your neighbor for what he is doing in keeping up the- town for as the town improves, so do your land values and your pleasures. The extra that you pay comes back to you in a greater ratio than by direct saving. Cutout the mail order, be a neighbor and pull al together for a bigger, better and more sociable town and neighborhood. 5* %.••• 7:aor;MeSht»pp i- ~rV w i** - • - ' DR« G. G.

Bearing the racket the wife ran out, upset a four-gallon churnfnl of rich cream into a basket of little chickens drowning the entire hatch. In her haste she dropped a $25 set of false teeth. The baby, having been left alone crawled through the spilled milk and into the parlor ruining a bran new $20 carpet During the excitement tbe oldest daughter ran away with the hired man and the dog broke up eleven setting bens and the calves got out and chewed the tails off n four fine shirts on the clothes-line.

Yet, since seaweeds are the only vegetation found .over three-fourths of the superficial area of the earth, it must be obvious that their place in the economy of nature must be far from being insignificant. In their native element the most important function of these seaweeds Is the same as that performed by ordinary forms of vegetation on land'—that of rendering animal life possible. They take the element* existing in water as impurities and transform them into materials essential to animal life. It is evident, therefore, that the seaweeds are not quite as useless as they are supposed to be. Along the coast of New England, the British Isles and western Europe they are used as fertilizers. In many countries they are fed to 6Wine and cattle. In Holland they have been employed In the building of dykes. Sometimes they are used to, stuff mattresses, cushions and upholstered furniture. Experiments have been carried on to use them as a substitute for wood pulp in the manufacture of paper. But the Japanese have attained the climax of utility In the employment of the seaweeds. In the bay of Tokyo 2,500 acres are planted every year with the red laver, a Bea plant, which Is transformed Into a dried and loasted powder which is of highly nutritious value, being rich In proteids. These weeds are planted In a very curious manner. In October and November bundles of bamboo or brush are prepared and taken to the grounds in boats at low tide. J>eep holes are made in the muddy bed of the bay by thrusting down through the water an elongated conical wooden frame with two long upright wooden handles. Into each of these holes is placed one of these brush bundles, forming long rows that project above the water. The brushes afford a lodging place for the spores of the red laver and they become attached to the twigs and develop within three or four months into plants which are fit to be harvested. They are then tlon of the by-products such as chloride of potash, eutr dried, prcssedV toastedand ground late—a ttigi^-^iinina^ dpvtrin, mannit* and other salts. powder. This red laver grows abundantly along including sodium alginate. the coasts of the United States. The United States, however, has one seaweed - J3f_gleater_lm_portance than this Is the manufac- industry of commercial Importance in Irish moss, ture of a seaweed Isinglass which Is exportedfrom - --gr-form~or srhjathatgrows -Abundantly along the ting of these weeds In the Channel Islands, forms an important part of the farmer's work at certain times of the year. Laver, prepared from a species of porphyra, is valued as a delicate condiment in ths-west of England, and'a similar preparation from ulva latissima is known as green laver. Dulse (rhodymenla palmata) and tangles (the young stalks of laminaria digitata and L. saccharlna) have been used for food in times of scarcity, but must be difficult of digestion. The last named species yield mannite. Among the best known forms of green seaweeds are the tubular entermorphia, or pipe-weed; the branched cladophora; ulva, or sea lettuce, with flat spreading fronds; the feathery bryopsis, like a miniature palm tree; and the button-like codlum, or sea purse. The brown seaweeds are arranged In three groups—phaoosnoreae, fucaceae and dictyotaceae —according to their mode of reproduction. In all there are about 170 genera, chiefly from the colder seas, and varying in size from the minute ectocarpus growing on species of fucus to the gigantic macrocystis and lessonla of the Antarctic. The floating thallus of the former may reach a-"length of a thousand feet, and tho branching Japan to all the countries of the world. There are hot less than 500 establishments in Japan which are making this Isinglass. It is prepared from seaweeds of the genus Gelidium. They are foiled, strained and filtered in order to separate the. gelatine from the other materials. The ready product is white, shiny and semi-transparent and is *«sed in making jellies, soups, sauces and to 9Btfo the wine of the natives, which is made free* r*e and Is called "sake." In the United .vnHWH.-iK is chiefly employed In food preparations '**#!» gelatine is required. It is also used for *he>*izlng of textiles, the stiffening of the warp Of silk, the clarifying of wines, beer and coffee, $,#*j*he making of molds in the manufacture of paper. 4&'In ail civilized countries *the Japanese gelatine, under the name of agar-agar, is used exclusively "AS the culture medium fn bacteriological work. Large shipments of this gelatine are also sent to the schnapps factories in Holland. The most abundant of all seaweeds are the kelps, distributed along every coast line. From these the Japanese prepare "kombu," which en* ters into the dietary of every family in Japan- It Is used as a vegetable, cooked with soups, fish and meats, it Is. also made into confections andbeverages. . ,••<'•• Iodine has been manufactured from kelps for many years, but the price has been so reduced by the working of the nitrate fields of Peru that its manufacture from kelps in the United States can hfi made attractive and profitable only by utlliza- Atlantic coast, particularly north of Cape Cod. The center of the industry is at Scituate, Mass., where It has been exploited for over three-quarters of a century. The average annual output at present is about 800,000 pounds, valued at $25,000. It is used chiefly for making blanc mange, and Is also employed In making cough remedies, jellies and puddings. It is also used for clarifying beer and in sizing fabrics. In Roman times an alkaline dye was prepared from seaweed, probably from fucus vesiculosus, the common bladderwrack. The "seaweed pictures" sold at watering places almost invariably contain a large proportion of the dried external skeletons of plant-like animals, such as the seamats (flustra) and sea-firs (sertularia). Between twenty and fifty fathoms seweeds are rare, beyond that depth their occurrence Is exceptional. The principal natural means of distribution are, of course, ocean currents; but man counts for Something, inasmuch as species are brought from port to port on the bottom of ships. Among the chief barriers must be reckoned stretches of deep sea, coast deserts of sand and mud, and the irruption of fresh water lowering the salinity of the neighboring tidal water. Prob* ably the oldest seaweed known is one of siphoneous structure, described as from the Devonian rocks Besides being used in the manufacture of iodine, the coarser brown seaweeds are also collected for manure, and the vralk or wrack harvest, or cuttree- stalk of the latter is several yards high, and as thick as a man's arm. Sargassum, or 'gutfweed, is included here. These belong to the Qr8t group; In which a sexual reproduction is effected by swarm-spores; sexual reproduction also takes place by the conjugation of cells, usually differing from swarm-spores only by their fusion. Here also belong the tangles (laminaria), with fronds borne on a stalk that shows .some advance In structure, In the fucaceae, of which the bladderwrack (fucus), sea-oak (halidrys), and sea-thongs (hirnanthalia) are''^bmm6n"ex^fflpleTri*srfeina*e' cells are non-motile, and the male cells freeswimming; a sexual reproduction does not occur. The common Dlctyota dlcbotoma and the rarer peacock weed (padina pavonla) may well represent the third group. A sexual reproduction Is effected.Jby non-motile spores; the male and the female cells are also non-motile. A single cell is produced in, and ejected from, the female organ; the male cells do not bear cilia. According to Strasburger the process of fertilization has not been observed. The third group contains nearly 300 genera,. mostly from temperate and tropical seas. The vast harvest of the j»ea, as represented by the algae that grow to maturity and then decay along our extended coast lines and are wasted, Is capable of adding tens of millions to the wealth of the nation, of supporting numerous industries that would give permanent employment to many thousands of people, and of relieving American manufacturers from dependence upon foreign sources of supply for chemicals and other materials used in various arts and industries.

He was always ready for salmon fishing, and on several occasions went to Ireland with Mr. Geprge Penbody, the American philanthropist One day Mr. Bright, noticing a policeman on the bank, inquired of him what sum the boatmen were entitled to ask for rowing up the Shannon on a day's fishing. Mo said that from seven shillings and sixpence to ten shillings was the usual payment. Mr. Bright said to Mr. Pea-body, "Have you three half-crowns? I have no change." Mr, Peabody produced the money and gave it to the boatman. He was dissatisfied, and said: "And is that all ye're giving me?" "That's all," replied Mr. Peabody. "Well, that bates all I ever heard." answered the boatman. "An' they call ye Paybody. Faith, I should call ye Pay-nobodyi" in*- \*y WHAT HE WAS DOING.

"In much of the west cattle raising for beef has long been the principal business," said Secretary Wilson, "but dairying Is comparatively new. There is an extensive market, however, for dairy products; and especially in the newly settled regions It is found that the dairy industry nils such va place in agricultural economy that its development is urgently needed. "In addition, a special enterprise has been undertaken with creamery patrons In Iowa, the object being to determine whether it will pay creameries to carry on the same sort ol work among their own farmer patrons for the sake of getting a better quality of cream as material for making butter. Here, also, record keeping has been introduced, along with other improved methods, and the effort ie made to discover the leaks that reduce profits. "Indfch© older states of the north, where dairying is already an established industry, the work of the, department outside of advice to individuals upon request, consists chiefly in the propagation fit cow-testing asso ciations and the improvement of city milk supplies. Cow-testing associa tions are societies for co-operating in the keeping of herd records by engaging a man who goes from farm tc farm periodically, makes observations and keeps records for the herds of all the members of the association. By this means records are secured without the trouble or expense involved when each man keeps them for himself; and in various otlxer ,ways the co-operation of the farmers is productive of profit. The primary objects are to- detect and weed out inferior Individual cows, and by the use ol purebred bulls to perpetuate and intensify the valuable characteristics ol the cows that are found to be good ones—thus raising the average quality of the individual cow and the total productiveness of the herd. There are 85 cow-testing associations now in 26 states, comprising 45,000 cows. "The records of one of these associations show that the profit was doubled after four years' work. For instance, a man with eight cows found, the first month of keeping records, that he was losing five and onehalf cents per cow, or 44 cents on his herd for that month. After three months' testing he was making a profit of |32 a month on the herd, and at the; end of the year his profits had increased to $50 a month. This notable increase was due largely to the sale of five of his poorest Cows, and the purchase of as many well-producing ones to take their places. In addition, there were changes made in the methods of feeding which conducedNto the result." LANTERN HANGER FOR BARNS Safe and Handy Way to Use Light In Stable Is Shown in Illustration— Won't Turn Over. The hanger shown In the sketch makes a safe and handy way to use a lantern in a barn or Btable. It is constructed of an old grooved pulley with a U-Bhaped hanger made of sheet iron. The U-shaped hanger, says the Popular Mechanics, Is made of a screw eye Lantern Hanger for a Barn. cut off and riveted in place, the hook being formed of heavy wire. The pul* ley is run on a wire stretched overhead from one end of the barn to the other. The lantern can be easily moved from place to place, and, as It is out of the way, it cannot he turned over. Palatability is an important feature of good dairy rations. Facilities for handling milk are giv ing an impetus to the market. Don't let the cows out in the storms to stand around. It doesn't pay. It Is rather a difficult task to dry tip a cow when in fulr flow of milk. If a cow has a habit of side-stepping while milking, examine your flngei nails. A cow producing average testlnj milk should yield from 7,000 to 8,uot pounds of milk in a year. Gentleness and patience with the heifer that has calved for the first time will win Out every time. Just after the cow has freshened she should have too same feeds she has been given, previous to calving., To feed cows profitably without some home grown sort of protein, such as the leguminous hays, is difficult. Sweet corn is one of the very besl crops to grow ^to feed as a soiling crop to the- dairy c o m in summer. It is best to reduce the milk pro* duciBg food, so that • mature cow wii dry. and rest for'a month to six week* before calving. •;;;> Be good to the cows.

Lover of These Delectable faofsels May Partake of Them With Enjoyment. In vain does the cry of Socrates come to us, down the. ages—"Beware of foods that persuade yon to **t though not hungry, and a t Jliquo^i OHt prevail with you to drink though apt thirsty:** '••'.'; ';^| A breakfast of sausajres* wb«*fc! cakes and fragrant cofee is all'that is needed to make ua forget4]¾¾ henpecked sage's warning. 4 ^ r - : Here are ways of cooking saus^ea so all lovers of the delectable mor^eje may eat them safely: • Instead of frying sausages, put them to cook in enough boiling water* to almost cover. Add no fat. . Simmer gently, until the water is evaporated- Enough grease win now be rendered from the meat to fry them, and the, casing will be unbroken. Lift the links from the frying pan and roll in flour. Fry until the coating is crisp and brown. The flour prevents the sausages from breaking open and does ont allow the rendered grease to be reabsorbed. If a little ground sage be mixed with the flour, the flavor will be improved. The new method of paper-bag cookery is excellent for cooking sausage cakes. Shape the cakes, place in bags, press out the air, and cook in hot oven fifteen minutes. Open the bottom, of the bag and drain out the fat from the pork. Serve on a hot platter. Broiled sausages with rice give a well-balanced dish for a wintry day*a breakfast. Place small link sausages on the broiler with dripping pan beneath, broil slowly, and serve around a mound-of creamed rice. Sausages with baked creamed'PoUtoes— To every pound of bulhv sansage meat add an ounce of ground mived herjtiv- A good mixture to make and keep on hand for such season as this is two ounces, of ground sagefe.a fourth of an ounce of cayenrie* pgpper, one ounce of thyme, qne ounce of ma* joram, and one of celery salt. Shape into cakes and fry for five minutes. Fill a baHlng dish with diced.potatoes^, cover with cream, lay the saugag©' cakes on top, and hake In a Hot oven fifteen minutes, or until the cream is absorbed and the meat a good color. Where sausage is liked but cannot be eaten on account of its richness, it may be made at home and mixed with lean beef or veal in the proportion most approved. Two parts rean meat to She part pork will give a mixture In which the pork flavor will still predominate. Home-made sausage is much in favor, since the commercial product all contains "filler," presumably some cereal or stale bread. The food-chopper how found In every kitchen does the .grinding as well as the butcher's and the particular housekeeper has the satisfaction of knowing just what the ingredients of the sausage are. Favorite Brown Bread. Two cups sweet milt and 1 of sour, 2 cups of meal and\l of flour, 1 cup of molasses and 1½ teaspoons of saleratus, with a pinch of salt. Mix meal and flour. Add the cup of molasses or use half molasses and sugar, then the sour milk and-the-sweet after. Just before pouring into the dish that you intend to steam in, add the soda. A five-pound lard pail makes a good dish and set on a block or cover inverted in your kettle. Be sure that the water is boiling in the kettle when the mixture Is put In, as this is quite thin and wants to set quickly. Do not look at it for at least an hour, and be sure that there is water enough so as not to require refilling before this time at least. Keep it steaming for three hours, and tell me how you like It. (Meal is Indian meal.) Water can be- used instead of sweet milk. Dried Fruit. Dried 'fruit tastes just as good when stewed in the oven, and this method has its advantages—the fruit will not dry and burn, It will remain whole, and may be cooked while roasting or baking. Wash the fruit, pour boiling water over it and let it stand in a covered dish until ready to put In the w e n Then add the sugar, cover lightly and let the heat of the oven do the sooking. Prunes are always delicious when stewed in this way. FLAX GROWING IS PROFITABLE > .—f_ . : WESTKflN CANAbA FARMERS BECOMING RICH m ITS PRODUCTION. go much h&U peeu milieu regaidlug the great amount of money made out of growing wheat in the prairie provinces o£ Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alhercl,, Western Panada, that many other product* of the farms are overlooked. These provinces will always grow large areas of wheat—both spring and winter—and the yields will /continue to be large, and the general ' average^ greater than in any other porfkavo* the continent. Twenty, thirtjyfc forty, and as high as fifty bushels pef acfe o! wheat to the acre^—yields, unusual in 6ther parts of the wheat growing portions of the continent— have attracted world-wide attention, but what of oats, which yield forty, fifty and as high as one hundred and ten bushels per acre and carry off the world's prize, which, by the way, was also done by wheat raised in Saskatchewan during last November at the New Tork Land Show. And then, there is the barley, with its big yields, and .Its excellent samples. Another money-maker, and a big one is flax. The growing of flax is extensively carried on in Western Canada. The writer has before him a circular issued by a prominent farmer at Saskatoon. The circular deals with the treatment of seed flax, the seeding and harvesting, and attributes yields of less than 20 bushels per acre, to later seeding, imperfect and illy-prepared seed. He sowed, twenty-five pounds of seed per acre and had a yield of twentyrnlne bushels per acre. This will probably dispose of at $2.50 per acre. Speaking of proper preparation of seed and cultivation of soil and opportune Bowing, in the circular spoken of there is cited the case of a Mr. White, living fourteen miles south of Rosetown, "who had fifteen acres of summer fallow a year ago last summer, upon which he produced thirty-three bushels to the acre, when many in the district harvested for want of crop. Now, there can be no proper reason advanced why such a crop should not have been produced on all the lands of the same quality in the adjacent district, provided they had been worked and cared for in the same manner. This year (1911) the same man had one hundred acres of summer fallow, had something over 3,800 bushels of wheat. He also had 1,800 bushelB of oats and 300 bushels of flax." There are the cattle, the horses, the roots and the vegetable products of Western Canada farms, all of which individually and collectively deserve special mention, and they are treated! of in the literature-sent out on application by the Government agents. i " m i ^ . . 1 . < » i i ... i , m mf Touch Preventer.

He closed the music in front of him. "Grouch!" muttered the tenor, as he took the music and sat down with the about rest of the choir. "Say," he whispered to the Boprano, "if we don't get a new organist pretty soon they'll have to get a new tenor. I'm tired of being sat upon by that fellow."

There are four beats, and on the fifth every one of you come in. Now, try again, and see if you can count four." Again he played the chords. "Oh, just a minute," interrupted the soprano, "What is my note? I never can get the right pitch. Hit my note when you play the opening chord louder than the rest, will you?"

"Let's try over one of the old ones, and take this one up for next week. .The people won't know the difference, and well murder this one if we try to sing it.'* "Let's!" eagerly assented the contralto.

As fre quently pointed out, the science and practice of aviation is making remarkable progress. By means of the dtrl gible airship and the hydro-aeroplane experts have begun to see that it will be possible some time to use the ah as a means of transit, much as the earth is now employed for that pur pose. As bearing upon the question of realizing this end, it is only nececssary to consider that the evolution oi the locomotive and steamship has been slow; that It has taken many yeari to bring the trolley car to perfection, and that the automobile is at least a quarter of a century old as a practical road machine.

Total of 54 Labor leaders Are Under Indictment, Charged With Nationwide Conspiracy to Blow Up Structures. The entire property of Illinois is reported to he $2,318,333,241. If that were divided among the people each one would get $411.11. Where in ten years from now would that per capita be? It would undoubtedly undergo a great change. A few men would have $500,000 of It, a few more $100,- 000 of it; many more $50,000, and so on until we get to the point where very many men wouldn't have 15 cents. How can we account for this wonderful change? For various reasons. Some men are smarter than others, some more diligent, some more frugal, some more temperate. These facts can explain why this $411 per capita has disappeared. While the circumstances, the environment, the vicissitude may account for some of the change, most of the change can be referred to the man himself—his character, his habit, his disposition, his appetite—under the Influences of which, if bad, that $411 vanishes and reappears in the hands of the man who has been sober, diligent, frugal and wide awake. Forty-one arrests, with a certainty there will be others, represents the work of the federal grand jury in the dynamiting case in Indianapolis, and it is not denied that there are from 15 to 20 others who have been caught in the net and will be arrested. Nearly all the accused men are now, or have been members of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers' organization. They were in the great conspiracy to destroy property and break up the open shop movement, however, and each- is charged with some other act in connection with members of the Iron Workers in the work of deatruction,. Fourteen of those indicted are each required to furnish $10,000 bond, and 40 are each required to furnish $5 000 bond, making an aggregate bond required of $340,000. Some of those whom the government was unable to find were reported to have disappeared through fear of inability to get bond. It was intimated that the ironworkers' association would be unable to furnish security for its indicted members. Escape Death on D. T. M. Trestle. Twelve residents of Deerfield had a narrow escape from death on the Detroit, Monroe & Toledo short line electric railway trestle over Otter creek, The party, which had been on its way to the home of Samuel McCarthy and his bride of a few hours, wllere they were to attend the wedding supper, had neglected to signal the intorurban to stop. They got off further down the line and had started to walk back. As all were crossing the trestle a car from the north bore down on them and all jumped, with the exception of Samuel McCarthy, brother of the groom, and his grandmother. The latter stumbled and as he stooped to pick her up the car struck him, hurling him from the trestle to the 1'rpzen creek 18 feet below. Dying Man Declare* He Shot the Famous Kcntuckian.

GoBBip In Great Britain continues to wag Its tongue over the reported coolness between King George and the Gaekwar of Baroda, The story persists that at the durbar everyone was astonished at the Gaekwar's appear* ance In a black frock coat, while the other princes wore their native robes and marvelous gems. The queen, it is said, gave the Gaekwar a frozen atare and the king merely nodded, The Gaekwar responded with a curter nod, turned his back and made a distinct grimace. It is asserted that his punishment, aside from forcing an apology, will be that of cutting down his royal salute of twenty-one guns and classing him as a second-rate ruler. Anglo-Indians consider this dangerous, and believe the incident would better have been ignored, on —account of the Gaekwar's great wealth and popularity among.his subjects.

In his dispatch he said: "I am unable to control the involved situation in China, as I am suffering from impaired health. Now that the aims of the republicans have been attained I have accomplished my doty. The post of president of the republic would only serve to lead to my ruin. I ask your kind offices and interest with the people of the country to elect Dr. Sun Yat Sen, to whom credit should be given. I will wait until I am relieved.

"J* By this time Keith had reached a definite decision as to his course, if the fugitives received a fresh relay f horses down there somewhere, and sed the Arkansas, he felt positivere as to their destination, But it aid be useless pushing on after hem in the present shape of his party —their horses worn out, and Walte reeling giddily in the saddle. If Hawley's outfit crossed the upper ford, toward which they were evidently heading, and struck through the sand hills, then they were making for the refuge of that lone cabin on Salt Fork. Should this prove true, then it was prdbable the gambler had not even yet discovered the identity of Hope, Tor if he had, he would scarcely venture upon taking her there, knowing that Keith would naturally stTspecT the spot But Keith would not be likely to personally take up the trail in cearch, for Christie Maclaire. ylt must have been Hawley then' who had left the party and ridden east, and up to that time he had not found out his mistake/ l e t if he brought out the fresh animals the chances were that Hope's identity would be revealed.

Brlstoe favor- •4 clinging to the trail, even though they must travel slowly, but Falrbaln insisted that Walte must be taken to torn* town- where he could be given necessary care. Keith finally decided ibe matter. "None can be more anxious to reach ihcse fellows that I am," he declared, "but 1 know that country out south, and. well never set through to the aal^Fork without fresh horses.

This was not so easily accomplished owing to the nature of the ground, but at last the searchers stumbled onto tracks close in under the bank, and one of these revealed tbe split hoof. "That makes it clear, Ben," exclaimed Keith, decidedly, staring out across the river at the white sandhills. "They have kept on the edge of the water, making for the ford, which is yonder at the bend. They are out in the sand desert by this time riding for the Salt Fork. Whoever he was, the fellow brought them five horses, and the five old ones were taken east again on the trail. The girl Is still with the party, and we'll go into Carson City and reoutflt."

They were two weary days reaching Carson City, traveling along the open trail yet meeting with no one, not even a mall coach passing them. McClurg ft Co.. »».> Fork. Now, angry with baffled ambition, and a victim of her trickery, there was no guessing to what extremes the desperado might resort. The possibilities of such a situation made the slightest delay in rescue an agony almost unbearable. Reaching Carson City, and perfectly reckless as to his own safety there from arrest, the plainsman lost no time In perfecting arrangements for pushing forward. Horses and provisions were procured, and be very fortunntely discovered in town two cowboys belonging to the "Bar X" outfit, their work there accomplished and about ready to re* turn to the ranch on the Canadian, who gladly allied themselves with his party, looking forward to the possibilities of a fight with keen anticipation. Keith was more than ever delighted with adding these to his outfit, when, on the final arrival of the others, the extra man brought from Sheridan announced that he had had enough, and was going to remain there. No efforts made revealed any knowledge of Hawley's presence in Carson City; either he had not been there, or else his friends were very carefully concealing the fact. The utter absence of any trace, however, led Keith to believe that the gambler had «one elsewhere—probably to Fort Larned—for his new outfit, and this beliet left him more fully convinced than ever of the fellow's efforts to conceal his trail. The party escorting Waite reached the town in the evening, and in the following gray dawn the adventurers forded the river, and mounted on fresh horses and fully equipped, headed forth into the sand hills. The little company now consisted of Keith, Falrbaln, who, in spite of his rotundity of form had proven himself hard and more horrible by Its semblance to water, yet never tempting them to stray aside. After the first mile conversation ceased, the men riding grimly, silently forward, latent only on covering all the distance possible. Late that night they camped at the waterhole, sleeping as best they could, scourged by the chill wind which swept over them and lashed grit into exposed faces. With the first gray of dawn they swung stiffened forms into the saddles and rode on, straight as the crow flies, for the Salt Fork. They attained that stream at sundown, gray with sand dust, their faces streaked from perspiration, feeling as though the sun rays had burned their brains, with horses fairly seeling under them. According to Keith's calculation this cattle-ford must be fully ten miles below where the cabin sought was situated; two hours' rest, with water and food, would put both horses and men again in condition, and the traveling was easier along the bank of the Fork. With this In mind, cinches were loosened, the animals turned out to graze, and the men, snatching a hasty bite, flung themselves wearily on the ground. All but Falrbaln were asleep when Keith aroused them once more, a little before nine, unable in his Impatience to brook longer delay. Within ten minfutes horses were saddled, weapons looked to carefully, and the little party began their advance through the darkness, moving cautiously over the uneven ground, assisted greatly by the bright desert stars gleaming down upon them from the cloudless sky overhead. The distance proved somewhat less than had been anticipated, and Keith's watch waa not yet at eleven, when his eyes revealed the fact that they had reached the near vicinity of the lonely island on which the cabin stood. ^Reining In his horse sharply, he swung to the ground, the others instantly following hlB example, realising they had reached the end of the route Hand* instinctively loosened revolvers in readiness for action, the younger of the "Bar X" men whistling softly In an effort to appear unconcerned. Keith, with a gesture, gathered them more closely about him. "If Hawley is here himself," he said quietly, watching; their faces In the starlight, "he will certainly have a guard set, and there may be one anyhow. We can't afford to take chances, for there will be five men, at least, on the island, and possibly several more. If they are looking for trouble they will naturally expect it to come from the north—consequently we'll mako our attack from the opposite direction, and creep in on them under the shadow of the corral.

PUT ON MOURNER'S BENCH Little Dorothy Explains Break In Oe> vetlonal Exercises for Her Family of Do!It. Little Dorothy la the daughter or* a minister. She has a family of fifteen dolls, one of them being a parson. Dorothy la devoted to her treasures. For a long time she held religious service for them, but suddenly the services were discontinued, only to be as unexpectedly resumed. "Why did you stop the services, Dorothy?" she was asked. MOh, the dolls decided not to have them any more." "But why were they started again?" They all voted that way, that is—" Dorothy hesitated, but she added, regretfully, "All except the clown aad the Teddy bear.** They ^ere regarded at incorrigible by the miniater'a small daughter. Next day at the services they were seated Immediately in front ot the doU preacher, tfc# other dolls occupying loss promlneat places. "Why are the clown and the Teddy bear sitting so far forward r in* quired Dorothy's father. "Oh," was the reply, "X thought they most seeded to hear the sermon." ACritical • Employer Pretty, winsome Harriett Lennox had been clerking at Mareton'e department store for nearly two months. Already she had lost the pretty color from her cheeks and she found it much harder to sell a waist than sue Imagined it could be when formerly ahe had the money to purchase whatever she desired. % "Did that woman buy the waist she was looking at?" questioned Nora. "No, after 1 had wasted a quarter of an hour showing her everything in stock she said: These waists are beautiful, but I haven't the money, my dear.'" "That's the way it is with those 'old hens,'" commented Nora. "They seem to have nothing on earth to do but to pester salesladies, and some women think because they have plenty of money it's their privilege to leave their manners at home." "The very words 'lingerie waists' gives.me a pain," admitted Harriett. "I'm weary of trying to make a thirty- six waist fit a woman who takes size forty-four, when we happen to be out of her size." "No, madam," she said, turning around, "we haven't any blue chiffon, waists with chenille trimming and gold braid. I'm sure she wouldn't buy one tf we had it." "What's the trouble with you? You seem so disheartened," asked Nora sympathetically. 'This is the first position I ever had, but I presume I can stand the customers. I try my best, but the way a girl is treated Just because she has to earn her living Is disgraceful." -> "You're too haughty," advised Nora. "Be a little more agreeable. If the manager tells you to sell a waist for all silk, sell it for that, and don't explain to the would-be customer that It Is only near-silk, sewed with nearallk thread, not made in a union shop, and that it is embroidered by machinery and not by hand." "Possibly I'm wrong, but no difference what I do or say he, Mr. Mar« ston, the proprietor, always finds fault when he goes by this department. Either the boxes aren't straight, or the waists are laid on the table crooked, or I should have made a sale; I went to lunch or came back too late. If my mother wasn't dependent upon me I'd leave this • in- Btant." "Strange, Mr. Marston should be so critical. He Is so full of business that he usually leaves the minor details to his managers. Cheer up, you'll get used to it twenty years from now; you'll even wonder that you noticed such things as impertinent shoppers and critical employers." "Twenty years from now, gracious! Don't mention waists in connection with.tbe future to me. I'd like to waste my time that long selling waists marked down from $3 to $2.98, and others marked up from |2.98 to $8.98." "If you continue to dress in that convent fashion," said the other girl, glancing admiringly at her own overtrimmed gown, "dress your hair In that absurd simple style, never put any color on your face when you look ghastly pale, and not make the least effort to please the men—" "Thank you for your well-meant vice, but the men I'm likely ±0 meet ...

"Poor thing," said Nora to one of the girls as Harriett, shaking like an aspen leaf, started for the third floor. "She is- go refined. I wanted to help her, but I guess she is going to lose her position. Only recently they lost all their money. It breaks her mother's heart that she has to work." As Harriett entered the spacious office, Mr. Marston arose saying kindly: "Why are you trembling?" "I'm sorry I didn't suit you "/began Harriett, gaining courage. "But you did. I know all about youy I've watched you since the first day you came. Grasped every opportunity to talk with you without making R evident. Now X want to ask you how would you like to become the owner of this store." "Sir," Bald Harriett, "how dare you ask me to come to your office %o insult me?" T m not insulting you. Tm asking you to marry me. Tm a lonely man, and I want yon for my wife. Don't answer me; go home, talk it oyer with your mother, and all I ask is for you to give me a chance for us to become acquainted." _ When Harriett left the office sfce bad promisocT to "think it over."
