W'alter Davis, a young farmer of Northneld township, was burned to death Thursday, and it is believed that he either set tire to the house and then committed suicide or that he was murdered by thieves and the house fired to conceal the evidences of the crime. The house was burned to the ground and the man's body is charred so badly t h a t it is impossible to tell whether or not he received any wmmds before death. Tramps had been seen in th<! neighborhood, and the. general irapre* slon among the neighbors is that a party of hobos demanded money of Davis, and on his refusal to give them anything they killed him and then get fire to the house.

True, it had at one time appeared as- though t h e fates were against him, but the change of the tide sent everything his way. Not f e r a good-deal would he have it otherwise.

CHAPTER XIX, NighlHProwter*. — Upon consulting his watch Colonel Jehu found It was only a quarter after nine when*he once more dropped into a chair with his fellow officers, and listened t o their remarks, meanwhile solacing himself with a plebeian pipe.

When h e had that pipe smoked out lie would occupy himself with a duty he never relegated to any of his officers, and having satisfied his soldierly spirit that all was well, Morpheus might claim him until reveille sounded.

Before he cotila" think t o shout out the alarm he was'Jerked f r o m ' h i s feet to the ground. A couple of men sprang upon him with the ferocity of panthers, and within sight of h i s own camp-fires Colonel John found himself a prisoner. CHAPTER XX. His Last Cigar. When cruel war rages in the land, •j men will descend to almost any depths in order _lo accomplish certain purposes. Colonel John had stumbled into a strange situation on t h e night he was taken to Lyndhurst, a prisoner. True, he was made a husband of convenience, and wedded to a girl toward whom he had since been wonderfully drawn, but at the same time he had incurred t h e hostility of as vengeful a man a s either of the opposing armies could boast, Major Basil Worden could not be said t o represent the chivalry of the South. He was a genuine Mississippian, and had cut quite a figure in the affairs of that State; but there were lacking in his compositioncertain elements that a r e by common consent supposed to make a gentleman, no matter whence he comes. Worden'sfl**ty==»a£ur£.:»-aiiablateat the cruel trick fate played upon him. Once before, in connection with John's cousin had he attempted to down the Yankee colonel, and in that well-laid scheme they had been defeated, as we have seen, by the good sense of Mollie Granger. This time Worden came with several companions sworn to run any risk in order to accomplish his end. When Colonel John fell into their 1»ands, t o dispose of htm t hen and there would have been easy enough, but t h e chagrined Confederate had made up his mind that he could never rest easy unless h i s fortunate rival met the fate that had be^n designed for him on that former occasion.. A soldier's death would be too good .for the man he hated. ing everything before it. And Colonel John had reason to feel satisfied with the outcome. His pipe was out—the hour near ten. He mechanically looked at his revolver to see if the chambers were all loaded, left his sword on the library table, tired of having it dangling at h i s heels, and rousing himself strode - into t h e grounds to observe his duties as a watchful soldier, and see that the guards were posted. Unconscious of i h c peril hanging over his head he approached the first ramp-fire of his troopers. Some were smoking pipes, others engaged in conversation, while anon a genial minstrel, auving borrowed a banjo from one of the plantation darkies, struck up a melody to which he lent the accompaniment of his tuneful voice. So Colonel John stopped a minute before intruding, stopped to gaze upon ihe scene so in sympathy with his military spirit. These men were his comrades; they" had shared many dangers in common, and there was hardly a"man in his whole regiment who would not will-' •ugly have gone through fire and flood for their gallant leader. Advancing, he met the sentry and nave the countersign. T h e merriment ceased as the colonel appeared, but h i s men greeted him with cheery replies t o his questions. Seeing that all was well he passed <<n t o the next fire, which could be seen blading through ^the trees and undergrowth. Through the arches formed by the trees Colonel John passed, unconscious of t h e fact that several dark forms hovered near, following closely in his footsteps. These men had been keeping the house under surveillance with some object in view, and that this concerned the Yankee colonel might be conjectured from tho eagerness with which they dogged his movements. Again he entered the circle of light rM.nd. chatted with Sergeant Shanks, whom he found on deck. Between the two there passed a low conversation o n some subject of interest, after which Colonel John gravely shook t h e other's hand and left the little glade where t h e fire burned and the troopers made themselves comtertable under t h e balmy Southern sfctes. When half way to the last post, the fitp 6f which* gleamed invitingly tfcttnigfc t h e tr^ep Colonel John found Men o n e n oven each themselves in struggling to clutch the first fruit that is just a Uttle beyond their grasp, ignoring that which could be obtained without much effort. Colonel John received rough treatment a t the hands of his captors, but although .dazed by t h e blows they dealt him he did not quite lose his presence of mind. Taught by the cunning opossum, which he had as a boy hunted in the woods near Atlanta, he feigned a state of insensibility, and allowed his captors to carry him out of the grounds neck and heels, as though he were only a billet of wood. These men knew what they were doing, and had made all preparations for a successful carrying out of their plans. Lyndhurst was close upon the outer line of the Union Army, and once beyond the pickets they need fear no further danger. A vehicle was in waiting, rather a ramshackle affair, drawn by a mule and engineered by a darky, but it served their purpose admirably and in a short time they were moving over the neutral ground lying between the hostile armies. Colonel John had fully recovered his senses, but feigned an apathetic state, not wishiug them to know his true condition. Lying there, jolted by the passage of t h e springless wagon until t h e breath was almost knocked out of his body, he endeavored to catch what h e could of the conversation between the men who were crowded in the small space. Learning what they intended doing with him was not conducive to a comfortable frame of mind, but a s a soldier, Colonel John had long ago learned to take danger by the throat and throttle the monster. He .showed his characteristic diplomacy by arranging certain plans of his own, whereby he might be able to defeat the enemy at his game. At length the darky turned his ancient quadruped into an open gateway. Here lay an old house that, having been in the line of fire during one of the last fierce engagements before Atlanta, was pretty much of a ruin now. Into this half-wrecked building, now within the Confederate lines, a s t h e two armies had in a measure changed places, they carried John. It w a s a fit place for such a dark deed a s the Confederate major had in view. . . . ' V ' . Gaping holes In the walls showed where the shot had plunged through— piles of debris on "the floor told of ruin above, and i t was only a question of time when a storm would lay the once stately pile low. Such a r e t h e ravages of w a r ; they could be seen like the trail of t h e serpent wherever a hostile army made Its way. A devastated Shenandoah Valley, once fruitful, a veritable Eden, now a blackened waste, spoke In eloquent .anguage of war's cruelty. And later on Sherman's march to the sea would cause a swath .of destruction behind, for when such a n army cuts loose and lives upon t h e land they leave little behind. In this old house Colonel John was to finish the tragedy cut short by his escape on the former occasion. , They had condemned him a s a ipy, and the finding of a drumhead courtmartial hung over him, n o matter if time had flown. Worden's motive was very gauty— he did not work from patriotic impulses, but purely personal desires. To make Mollie a widow—that was his design stripped of all disguise. It pleased his vindictive nature to disgrace the object of his hatred a s much as possible. Possibly that was a freak of fortune by means of which he might be overcome by his own eagerness—hoist through his own petard, as it were. They learned by this time that John was himself again. A flambeau had been brought upon the scene, and the prisoner, with his hands fastened by stout cord, stood there before his enemies. There was n o quailing about his eyes—they looked into t h e mad orbs of Major Worden with a contemptuous coolness that caused a gritting of the teeth, but, remembering that the game was~htR.thelatter-smiled; COLORADO DISASTER EQUAL NUMBER OF THE DEAD AND INJURED REPORTED.

Choate, that when he was a little chap he and his sister had been forbidden by parental authority to go In swimming, or even to wade on the shore. Nevertheless, the pair soon made their way to the beach, and naturally were exposed to the devices of Satan. ' "You might at least take off your shoes and -stocking*/', suggested the tempter, well aware- to what this would lead. "Nobody will see us," t>aid the acquiescent "Joe" to his Bisler. "God will see us." was the reply. 'But he won't tell," returned the sharp and precocious infant, who was already tasting the sweets of forensic victory. As no effective response .served to suggest itself, transgression soon followed, and its results were jfimUly emphasized by" the plastic h.'ind of their mother. In oue of his rambles the impending ambassador fell in with a little ^irl who was weeping bitterly. "What is the matter, Molly? Can I do anything for you?" was the sympathetic query. With many sobs came the reply: "My mamma has gone to heaven." "Perhaps she hasn't," was the comforting comment, which abruptly stopped the sobs and left the victim in a maze of thought. Another experience revealed to our hero a cottage with a sunny garden all abloom and a piazza dominated by an elderly maiden of forbidding aspect. "May I have a few of those lovely flowers?" "No, no, little boy," came the churlish reply. "They are put there to look at, not to touch." "That's why you are put there, I suppose." said the quick and impenitent youth, as he scampered down the street. "My child, my child, what dirty hands!" said the mother oue day as he came in with hands that suggested a four paws' menagerie. "Go and wash them at once." "Why, ma," was the aggrieved response, "I have washed them already. Yon mttst be getting color blind." IN ALABAMA THE LAND OF SUN8HINE AND PLENTY—OWN A FARM AND BE INDEPENDENT.

DACHSHVJSfD A GOOD FIGHTER The good-natured, philosophic German dachshund has always been regarded as more or less of a Joke in <fcis country. Even in the .Fatherland he is a staple for jesting. His elongated body, his crooked legs, bis animated tail, his resemblance to a sausage— who could fail to make some tort of joke about a dachshund? But the dachshund has a very serious side, and a work in life. Ttechshumi"—means-1' badge r-dogZ' J_heldJa.Vienna, Now, the badger is an animal that, -.generally speaking, needs neither 'same laws nor sympathy, because he is able to take care of himself vancT right his own battles. Naturalists place him as a link between the bear family and the weasels. He has about ^all the strenuous characteristics of both, with some of his own in addition. Badger-baiting was formerly a barbarous rustic sport that drew trade to -country inns and taverns. A badger was placed in a barrel and the man whose dog could bring him out got a prize. A single dog seldom did it. A full pack mightrrsojnetimes. The badger is a tremendous burrower, and the jolly dachshund of the jokes has been trained for centuries in Germany to go into his burrows like a ferret after rats and drive the badger out or fight him. In some German and Austrian cities there were formerly badger- baiting tourneys in which crack dachshunds entered a pit with an ablebodied badger and fought for points. It is said that such contests are still For spirit, endurance No cold weather, no coal to buy, less clothing, and, in fact, living is one-half the cost as in the north. A man with very little capital can own a forty-acre tract and become independent in a few short years by raising vegetables and fruits for the northern and eastern markets. We have the 'best shipping facilities, both by water and rail, making our lands the best garden spot in the country.

"I remember once when going from Rutland to Burlington, Vt., I noticed Congressman Luke Poland sitting a few seats in front of me with a novel he had purchased of the train boy. At the next stop I left my seat, and, stopping beside him, said: "Good morning, Mr. Poland.

With Irritating Skin Humor—Hair Began to Fall Out—Wonderful Result from Cuticura Remedies. "About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. I did not take much notice of it at first, but it began to get worse all the time, and then I began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin humors; but I became worse all the time. My hair- began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Especially at night, just as soon as I would get in bed and get warm, my whole body would begin to itch and my finger nails would keep it irritated, and it was not long before I could not rest night or day. A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and I did, and the first application helped me wonderfully. For about four weeks I would take a hot bath every night and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to my whole body; and I kept getting better, and by the time I used four boxes of Cuticura I was entirely cured, and my hair stopped falling out.

It is mentioned in the charter of Waverly Abbey, the Cistercian monastery close by, now in ruins, which gave its name to tho work of Sir Walter Scott. This giant tree is still in vigorous growth.

A trip around the world in these modern times, Is no extraordinary event, but to go around It on the trains and steamers of one company, is an event that cannot but arouse interest.. For the first time «in history, the earth has been girdled by the ships and trains of one transportation company—the Canadian Pacific Railway. On January 19th, several passengers left Montreal on the Short Line Express of the Canadian Pacific Railway, for St. John, N. B., they arrived at that port on the morning of January 20th, where they boarded the Canadian Pacific Railway Co.'s Steamship "Lake Champlaln" for Liverpool, from which port another Canadian Pacific Railway Co.'s Steamer, the "Monteagle"1 took them on February J5th to Kong Kong, on the other side <^f the world. The "Monteagle's" first port of call was Cardiff, Wales, where she took on her cargo. Cardiff was the final port of departure from the British Isles, and sailing from that port on February 12th, the vessel is scheduled to arrive at Hong Kong, on April 8th. Ten days After reaching Hong Kong, the Capadian Pacific Railway Co.'s Steamer, "Empress of India" will carry these passengers to Vancouver, arriving there on May 9th. j and the Imperial Limited train of the Canadian Pacific Railway, will bring them across the continent, over the majestic Rockies, and the great fast filling prairies ot the Canadian West, and around the Northern rock bound shores of Lake Superior to Montreal, so that under ordinary circumstances, they should reach home on May 13th next. OUNCE WAS MAN OF LEARNING. Nickname of Dunescotus, Learned Man 600 Yoare Ago. "Dunce" is generally applied to dull, stupid, unteachable boys. The person from whose name the word is -supposed to have been derived was quite a different character. It was used as a term of reproach by the Thomists to the followers of Dunsscotue, who was their antagonist in a religious controversy. This "Johannes Dunsscotus" was a very learned man, who lived about the end of the thirteenth and beginning of the fourteenth century. The English say he was born*In Northumberland; the Scotch allege he was born at Duns, in the Mers, the neighboring county to Northumberland, and.hence he was called Dunsscotus. He died at Cologne, Nov. 8, 1308. His fame was so great that when at Oxford, 30,000 scholars attended to ^hear his lectures. The Thomists were the followers of Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican friar, celebrated for his learning.—Stray Stories.

Generally each meal or lunch was followed by distressing pains and burning sensations In my Btomach, which destroyed my sleep and almost unfitted me for work. My brain was so muddy and foggy that_it was hard for me to discharge my duties property. "This lasted till about a year ago, when my attention was called to Grape-Nuts food by a newspaper ad. and I concluded to try it Since then I have used Grape-Nuts at nearly every meal, and sometimes between meals. We railroad men have little chance to prepare our food in our cabooses and I find Grape-Nuts mighty handy, for it is ready cooked. "To make a long story short, Grape- Nuts has made a new man of me. I have no more burning distress In my stomach, nor any other symptom of indigestion.

He was aroused by his feelings and Colonel John actually felt a certain admiration for the man who would fight (or what he believed to be his own, though his title to the. property was certainly hasyt He shrugged his shoulders. "Well, you've got the whip-hand now, my dear fellow, that's positive." "At the same time Colonel Ridgeway, I admit that I feel above this manner of making way with a rival. people lay claim to peculiar qualities in that line. I will give you a chance for your life." Colonel John looked^at him quickly. "What are the conditions?" ''That you swear on your honor to g;et a transfer and never again seek out Mollie Granger, the girl made your wife by the fortunes of war. You understand what i mean?" "I do most assuredly," replied the Tjulonel. "Well, what is your answer?" "I refuse to sign the bond," calmly, priority^ claim on Mollie Granger, I think I can outdate you." "How so, sir?" "She promised to be my wife just sixteen years ago, so you see she has only kept her word." "Nonsense—she was a child then." "Jpst so, and my, little, play mate. I saved her once when she fell into a brook. Being ten years her senior r callei her my little sweetheart. This peculiar event is after all but the handjof fate shaping our destinies." "I * remember now — your cousin Crockett,told me you lived in the hrtii«o *hmt Hwrpftf, It does not matter. The finding of the drumhead court shall be carried out. You have now just fifteen minutes to live. I have written a few lines which I am about to send to Mollie by a special messenger. They will give her satisfaction, since they save her the slow legal process of separation. Perhaps you would like to hear them." He took out a paper and read: "The finding of the drumhead court over which I had the honor to preside, has been carried out. Colonel John Ridgeway, the spy, was executed at exactly eleven o'clock. Allow me to congratulate you on yoXir freedom from an odious Federal husband. "BASIL WORDBN. "Major C. S. A." "You are banking heavily on the be- Then the man advanced.

One of the men was actually carrying the colonel's six-shooter, and the temptation proved irresistible. With a quick movement John's hand shot out, and,his fingers snatched the weapon from the Confederate's belt. There were cries of amazement, of consternation, and then with a leap the Federal had reached the biasing flambeau, torn it from the wall and dashed it to the floor, bringing dark* ness upon the scene. lief that Mollie hates m e / Perhaps gentleman, and j t e Southern^j^ou may=be_surpri8ed[ in that r^spect^ However, I have nothing'more to sayT If I have less than fifteen minutes to live and my cigar half burned, kindly leave me to finish it alone with my thoughts." "With pleasure." So saying the major wheeled and stalked away. Colonel John sat down on the floor. He seemed to be wrapped in meditation, for his head was bent forward. —Some perfionajJaim to tell the state of mind of a smoker by his manner of sending out the rings of smoke. The Federal had reached the blazing flambeau. f ^ sending out a few rings of smoke. One might imagine he was discussing the price of flour in Northern markets, such was his coolness, yet his life bung in the balance. "You recognize the inevitable consequences?" "Oh, yes," with a glance at the swaying rope and its ghastly noose at tiic end. •Major Word£n looked at him in a jiecullar way. It waB as though he hardly knew whether to let admiration, or hate get the upper hand. This man astonished him. Gradually a black frown crept over his face. "I see that" my suspicions were right. Faith, I didn't nip this matter In the bud any too soon. You've reached the point where you've fallen in lotfe with " "My wife." . "Yea, that's true, confound you, Ridgeway." "Can you blame me, major?" . "Perhaps not, but all the same I'm determined you won't cross my path much longer. I've known Mollie many years and have-sworn to make her ray wife.

There was deep design back of his action, as he carried out a brilliant scheme that had flashed into his mind some time before. The rapid smoking created a glowing spot of fire at the end of the cigar, and as John ben* forward he raised his hands, applying the burning end of the cigar to the cord. Fire has accomplished wonderful things before, now, and it served John's purpose. The cord was burned, and his hands ready to become free. No wonder he experienced a thrill of satisfaction and made up his mind that the finding of the court would not be carried out on this particular occasion. The messenger had gone with the note—it was the old darky, but unless his mule made better progress returning than in coming to his plaoe John had 'little fear regarding his ability to overtake the courier.

Having thus deftly secured a weapon and in a measure himself master of the situation Colonel John proceeded to follow up the advantage by a series .of quick movements that ware apt to prove demoralizing to tht enemy. No sooner had darkness come upon the scene than the Federal changed his position and fired a shot in the direction of a sound that was undoubtedly caused. by one of hia enemies moving. Then he instantly changed his quarters. He held the advantage, for his foes numbering at least four, could not be sure that their fire was directed at the daring Federal, while all John had to do was te make his shloW cotrat when he could. This singular duel in the dark waf kept up for the epace of several minutes. Shouts arose, shouts that were significant of rage and pain, for Colonel John was not doing all this work ^without some result, aud the satellites of the major, perhaps even that worthy himself, had ere this tasted of his lead. mote than some people do.

Such a mimic battle withinTTne Confederate lines was apt to draw-attention, and John had especial reasons for desiring to make a speedy exit from the room before a squad of fresh enemies arrived on the scene. His later efforts were therefore directed toward discovering the position of the door. As eyesight was of little avail ih~ that smoky atmosphere he found him--' self compelled to depend upon his sense of touch. Groping along the wall he presently came in contact with the object of his solicitude. To open was but th« work of a second, and sUpping through ?the narrow spaos* he found himself breathing the pure air. It was a relief from the smoke of the Injerip^ The last sounds hfc heard were the groans of those who nursed their wounds, and the loud though husky voice of the doughty major calling for light. Once free from the building Colonel, John made his way to the road. He could hear the voices of men who were running in the direction of the house, and found it a difficult matter to avoid the detachment of Confederates from a neighboring oamp, They were drawn in that direction by the loud cries, accompanied by the quick percussion of revolver-shots that throbbed upon the air, for such things do not occur without a meaning, and in war times that „ meaning can be readily understood. Colonel John had already been through a considerable experience during this night. To few men in a year's j,time do adventures come such as had been his portion since old Phoebus ^dropped his glowing face behind the hills that lay to the west of Atlanta. His was a warrior nature, however, and one that could hot be overwhelmed. ' , Misfortunes might comjB thick and fast, by fair means and foul, but J^hn Ridgeway would never yfeld himself a prisoner until every endeavor that lay In his power had beefr made. So, when he heard these Confederate soldiers rushing in the direction of the house, he realized that "his course was blocked by their coming, the* Yankee officer had to bring to his aid that diplomacy which on other occasions had served him so well. It did not desert him now. He desired no encounter. (To be continued.) iow««,wu a s vurreriby.

This remarkable condition, of course, results from the fact that Hindu widows have not been allowed to remarry. Efforts are being made to abolish this entoioed wluwhood, and the Up per India Widow Remarriage association reports that since the establishment of the association 127 widow remarriages have resulted from its work.

A Chicago teacher, who we may add is at yet heart and husband free, evolved the interesting theory that as a life companion a cat is far more preferable than a man. After enumerating the faults of an average. husband, she proceeded' to tell of the high qualifies' of a cat, and when ahe came to that part in heroratton when comparisons became necessary, poor husbands had not a leg to stand on. The three strongest points that she made were that cats trim their own whiskers, never complain and, if they happen to come home late in the wee small hours, they do not invent excuses, and though guilty of misbehavior, they never walk diagonally across the* room, chewingva secondrate cigar and vaiajy eadeavoring to make themselves understood. Well, it eeems as if the cats had the better of it, and ao far no defender of poor downtrodden man has appeared on the scene.—Exchange. $100 Reward, $100.

The end of the spindle on which the bowl revolves rests on three steel balls and if the point wears a little the bowl simply sets down a little bit lower; or if the balls wear it simply sets down a little deeper, and you bold the same point so that the bowl is always in a straight line. Now when the end of the spindle rests on a single ball or in an opening this is not so and your bowl gets out of line and does not run true.

Reed City was panic stricken early Saturday morning, when the wall of a three-story building which was burning collapsed and fell on a wooden structure iu which several meu were supposed to be. Two men were killed, and until noon it. was feared there were other victims, but there were hot. Three buildings were completely destroyed. C.' F. Bollacker died in trying to save others. His friends entered his shoe store in an effort to save hjs goods from burning. He went in to warn them to get out, as he feared the wall would fall. The warning came too late for Plato Lacy. With a crash, the heavy wall caved in the roof of the one-story frame structure and both Bollacker and Lacy were J c a u g h t . T~"^ Mr. Bollacker's body was the first recovered. He had barely gotten inside when the wall fell. His body wa« burned beyond recognition. Tho remains of Plato Lacy were identified only by his keys.

Slowly Starving. •Charles Herrick is slowly siai'ving because of a peculiar malady. He left his fine farm in Mundy township and bought some property in Flint. Somo time ago he went to California and was so delighted that he wanted to stay. He wrote for his wife to sell the property and come to him, but she was unable to dispose of it because of a mortgage. Herrick returned, but was no more successful, and he brooded over the matter for some time. Two weeks ago his mouth, throat and stomach became paralyzed as a result of his despondency, and ,he has not been able to take any nourishment except a few drops of water at a time. Herrick is 52 years old and has a family of five children. One woman sues for divorce because her spouse "reneged" at cards and then slapped her. She might overlook the slapping, but never his failure to follow her lead. The top of the Singer building in New York City is to be 593 feet high.

Delirious from pneumonia, Paul Marrin, well known cigar manufacturer of Grand Rapids, jumped from a second story of a private hospital and was found nearly dead from cold half an hour later. He died in a short time. Rev. George S. Crawford was bitten on the^ 1 ndex finger - when he attempt to administer medicine to his 7-year-old daughter, who died of scarlet fever last week. Blood poisoning has resulted and Rev. Mr. Crawford is quite ill. Lansing students have obtained keys to some of the school buildings, the board of education has learned, and various, small articles have been missed. The latest act of the marauders was lo smear the heating uipeimfr the main assembly room of the high school with limburger cheese. Because Charles A. Genrow. of Al* peua, crimps his hair like a woman and affects femininity in his dress, he was mistaken for a woman by Patrolman Spring, of Port Huron, when the young man stepped from a Rapid Railway car. He was lugged off to.police headquarters, where the error was explained. Genrow was once a patient in an asylum. At midnight Saturday the villages of De'.ray and Woodmere were wiped off the map and each, with a portion of the township of Springwella, became a part of the city of Detroit, which contains seven more square miles than before' and the population will be from 17,000 to 20,000 more. The citv will be richer by from $12,- 000,000 to $15,000,000. The widow of Congressman M. H. Ford is given the title to her home in Grand Rapids which she had lost through Thomas F. McGarry. who is now in Ionia prison for complicity in the Grand Rapids water deal; Mc- Garry was Ford's law partner and after the latter's death took charge of the estate. The home was mortgaged by McGarry to a bank without the widow's knowledge and the bank foreclosed. A. Burton Freeman, of Durand, one of the indicted supervisors in Shiawassee county, claims his constitutional right to a speedy trial and has applied to the supreme court for a mandamus to compel the judge of that circuit to set aside the continuance of his case over-the term in accordance with the request of the prosecuting attorney. The court has granted an order requiring the Shiawassee judge to show cause. A letter has been received at the attorney-general's office from a Gainesville, N. Y., man which says: "About 22 ye8rs ago, when a boy of 15 years 1 shot and killed a partridge when it was against the law. It is my desire to obtain full salvation and that act seems to be one that should be confessed. This confession may not be at all called for, but should I be indebted to the state on account of the act I will, as .soon as'possible, pay the account." At a profit approaching nearly $2,- 000,000, Thomas Hume, of Muskegon, acting for himself and a ^ o n e of the executors of the ,estate of the late Chas. H. Hackley, and George Hefferan, of the Michigan Trust Co., coexecutor, have sold 36,000 acres of short-leaf pine lands in southern Misissippi belonging to Hackley & Hume to the Edward Hines Lumber Co., of Chicago. The deal, which is undoubt* edly the largest in value of Muskegonheld property, was concluded during the past few days and for the purpose of acquiring more funds for paying lertdefl of the Hackley estate. Of course, the most important and in teresting piece of legislation that has occupied the time is the railway rate problem. Every phase of the propo sition has been discussed at great length in both the senate and the house, and still it remains unpassed and there is no understanding wher a vote will be taken in the senate, anc the question of an agreement between the house and senate conferees aftei the bill is passed by the senate is ex tremely problematical. The statehood bill is up in the air. The only possible compromise is bound t o be in favor of the senate. There is absolutely no possible chance for an agreement in favor of Speaker Cannon's two-state bill unless the house consents to the adoption of the Forager amendment granting referen dum to Arizona and New Mexico.

The mystery surrounding the six grewsome tnu/deia ^whlch^fo terrified the citizens of Minneapolis Thursday was only deepenedftjhext day by the arrest in Duiuth of eftven Bulgarians who were residents m the house in Minneapolis, where Q p crime was committed. The prisoners are eight men, two boyi^and a wtdman. Cross-examined- individually, five of L *7r_"*"r7r.,L v.*!.*""Lr"TlL "J7.7U^r'tw~oa I t h e "eleven prisoners tell the same in the htstory of the United ^ ^ j ^ r ^ n r m a i n t a m l h e l r innocence of any complicity in the crime and even their ignorance of it until they were enlightened by the police. If their story Is. true, the Minneapolis police have struck the wrong trail and it shatters all theories of the murders which have hitherto been held, and leaves the police absolutely at sea for even a theory for the motive for the crime and the identity of the criminals. Remarkable Case. Terror Hampton. "Warden James Russell, of the Marquette prison, who has caused the arrest of Daniel E. Hampton on a charge of criminal libel, says of Hampton's prison record: "While Hampton was yet an inmate of the prison, he made request through me for an interview with the board of control. The board declined at first, for the reason that he had been before it so many times on ifl-tempered charges that its members did not care to open the gate for repetition. I prevailed on the board to compiy with his request, and the man was visited in his cell. When the door' was thrown open, Hampton berated the board for taking the warden's word for everything and accused it of being unfair and prejudiced; said legislative committees were fakes, and referred to the members of the legislature as being hayseeds and ignoramuses. Hampton was not interrupted, and when he finished his tirade I instructed the prison physician to make examination regarding the man's physical condition and sent him out to be strapped. The board of control was furnished with the best evidence of the man's insubordination, and that is the reason he did not seek the board with his affidavit after he was t u i n e l down by Gov. Warner." Shops Closed. By the closing down of the greater parr of the Pere Marquette shops in Ionia more than 100 men are thrown out of employment. Men in the machine shop, the blacksmith and tin shops and the boiler works.were laid off indefinitely. The paint shop and the car repairing department will be continued in operation. T h e reason given for the shutdown by railroad officials is that the general business of the road will suffer materially from t h e coal strike. age of which the administration has urged, is still tied up in the senate and the counting of noses does not in dicate that It will receive the favor able consideration of the senate this session. The expected insurance investiga Hon did not materialize and the Pan ama canal question has not been set tied. . The cry for tariff revision has not met with the approval of any great number of members and no leg islation along this line will be enacted. "n!y one appfoprlalion bill, the de flciehcy bill, has passed both houses. The Smoot case Is still in the senate committee on privileges and elections All of the testimony has been heard and arguments will be made next week. It will be some time before the committee will make ;t report to the senate. TRe pure 'food bill has passed the senate and is no% L'efore the house committee. The Philippine tariff bill passed the house, but was pigeonholed in the senate committee and there Is not much chance for its resurrection. The ship subsidy bill has passed the senate, but is being held up in the house committee, where it is liable to remain, indefinitely, unless some dicker is made between the senate and house managers. There has been plenty of District of Columbia and local legislation, and the pension appropriation bill has passed the house. Also a number of claims have been considered and passed upon, and both houses have passed the consular reform bill. That about tells the story of the fifty-ninth congress to date. There has been an abundance of interesting scenes and of heated arguments, but this congress is certainly short on results. Speaker Cannon picked May 15 for adjournment, but it is hardly probable that the members of congress will get away before a month later. The Rate Bill. Mr. Knox, speaking on the railroad rate question, dealt almost exclusively with the legal features of the problem. He indicated several provisions of the house bill which he considers unconstitutional and expressed the opinion that Mr. Bailey's amendment depriving the United States circuit courts of the power to grant temporary injunctions would not stand*the test of the courts. The speech was awarded thfc most careful attention and at its close the speaker was very generally congratulated by his colleagues. When Mr. Khox concluded the sen-, ate entered upon the consideration of the conference report on the bill regulating the final disposition of the affairs of the five civilized tribes of Indians and much objection was expressed to many of the changes. Some of these were criticized on the ground that the conference committee had transcended its authority by the inser-i iiort of new matter. There was a renewal of the discussion of the disposal of the coal lands in Indian Territory and several senators, including Messrs. La Follette, Clark (Wyo.) and Tillman expressed disapproval of the conference provision authorizing the secretary of the interior to lease lands. ,.

Co.) —Staahopo wag stayUed from—hia_. rissp gqf a sharp, imperative rap on tb« 4aor «t his bed-room window. He m% donned dressing-gown and apd hurried out at once with a lighted candle. As he threw open the door, the flickering glare quavered grotesquely across a woman's tense, pallid features. "Kathleenr" The name broke from him involuntarily; his tone was sharp almost to harshness. "Dick—-Mr. Stanhope—forgive my intrusion at such an hour, but the telephone will not work, and I—I'm afraid my husband is dying. He has had these attacks with his heart before, hut never so bad as this." She paused for breath, her slender body shaking beyond all semblance of control. "If I can do anything—" "Pve~ already— tried™ every thins Lj could think of, but it is only a waste of ttflte. Ml he seems to be growing steadily worse." "OmldVt I*-" Again she interrupted: "I thought if I could get a doctor right away, there might still be some hope." She had been speaking rapidly, and her voice broke now for the first time, the strained dryness of her .eyes yielding to Irresistible tears. The hood of tha long cape she had thrown t around her fell back from her face, j and her hair, loosened in the wind, flowed over her shoulders in a glistening gold cataract. Stanhope steeled himself as he looked at her and replied reassuringly: "1'H go for the doctor Immediately. Don't worry so much. Perhaps things aren't as bad as you fear." His voice And Kathleen? S h e had unhesitatingly made her choice, and only God and Clavering and herself could have told the rest. But something in her face, in the very atmosphere of her to-night had stirred his blood strangely, and his brain teemed with a sweet, half-defined, insidious gladness. It was to him she had turned in the hour of her sorest need. A- sudden wild thought flashed through Stanhope's mind. What if Clavering should die! What if the girl he had worshipped with the one great passion of his life were to be free ing. But the heart-broken look of pat* sioaste grief—no! He backed cautiously into a shadow and waited till the doctor came out. entered his runabout and drove away. A minute later, Stanhope touched his horse and was gone, galloping on and on and on, terrified by the terrible passion that swept through him. His heart quivered and his blood throbbed so that he had to nold his breath every little while for self-mastery. When he had controlled himself, he reversed his horse and settled down to a steady, determined gait, in his eyes was a light that had never Illuminated them before. Overhead, the sky with Its prodigal splendor, seemed flung full of gold by some giant hand. Below, the pale radiance covered everything like a soft, yellow cloud. Here and there, fragrant shrubs sprang up, Intermingling their apicy perfume with the tangy odor of bay and pine. An army of belated locusts broke the stillness with their plaintive chorus, and in the distance, a dog's bark echoed stridently. But Stanhope was conscious of none of these things as he rode on through the tense solitude. COCKNEY 8HOCKEO AT WASTE. trembled a little under its veneer of calmness, but In her excitement, the woman noticed nothing of this. She looked him full in the eyes, a wordless gratitude shining from her own. "Thank ycu, Dick," she breathed earnestly. Fee an -instant, sho stood clasping and unclasping her hands in a nervous, halt-dazed fashion. "Harry, do Aorry, she pleaded, subduing her voice now by a strong effort. Then she drew her hood close, and turning abruptly, disappeared into the darkness. Stanhope went back to his room and exchanged his night-clothes for a riding-suit as quickly as possible. Then he went out to the stables and saddled his fastest horse. In less than five minutes, he had covered over a mile of the six that must be traversed. At every step, he urged his horse ahead with relentless whip and spur, a strange exhilaration dominating his entire being, it was not a time for reminiscences, with a human life in peril, but despite the rein he put upon himself, his thoughts conquered, beating upon his brain with maddening insistence. Could it be possible that barely three years had elapsed since Claveri Rode on through the tense solitude. 1-once more-?—Ail at onre< ho. was cont *•-•~ ~l "Kathleen I" Ing had come and robbed him of everything that made existence worth while? his love, his happiness—his ailt The blow had left him old and worn and bitter with a lifetime's experience. Hope was' dead, and the- future stretched gray and barren through ita interminable length eaetd ! scious that his breath ceased; the blood pounded and surged in his temj pies; his heart leaped guiltily. What j if—! But he dashed away the thought ; and dug his heels into the horses I sides almost viciously. If anything happened, it must be by the will of God. and not through his volition. Stanhope felt that he should never forget that ride as long as he lived Every flower, nodding, ghost-like, by the road-side; every swaying treebranch, every agonized breath from the almost spent brute—every suffocating throb of his heart would be indellibly fixed on his memory. The ride was over at last. His horse was drenched and shaking as he dismounted and ran quickly up the steps to the front door to the big, darkened house where the great doctor lived. "You must come at once—yes, at once," he called excitedly through the speaking-tube. "This is no hysterical nonsense, but a case of life and death. Charles Covering, at the Heights? you know. Haw those attacks with his heart. Man's dying. I'm afraid." When he had elicited the doctor's promise to follow ~ immediately, he went back to his horse and flung himself wearily into the saddle, almost staggering under the whirl of emotions that held him in grip. He dared not think, for to think meant to hope, and hoping might mean almost anything. — The return journey was made mechanically. To Stanhope's dazed brain, it might have been six miles or it might have been sixty—or only one. He rode through the darkness with bowed head and deliberately vacant senses. The draught upon his self-control left him physically weak, so that when, by some inexplicable chance, he found himself in front of the Coverings', he half reeled in his saddle. After all, it was only natural that he should stop here to learn the result. Any one must have felt the propriety of that, His passion had well-nigh blinded him. Kathleen would expect it, since he it had been to whom she h a i appealed! Soon the doctor came out and stood for a moment in the doorway talking to Mrs, Clavering. His face was graver than Its won't and he shook his head from time to time as he talked. Stanhope could distinctly see the look on Kathleen's face as the bright light from the hall chandelier fell full across it, and it told Mm better than any words could have done, what the outcome might be. la her eyes, there were alarm, terror—a curious shrink- Incidentally His Knowledge of Farming Was Meager. A Manchester manufacturer was praising the late Lord Masham, who Invented the wool-card ing machine— the machine which in a marvelous manner takes in at one end huge armloads of wool and discharges at the other end woolen yarn ready for spinning. "Lord Masham spent some years of his youth in America," said the manufacturer. "He liked our American ) ways. He profited by themr So earnestly, on his return to England, did he urgelthe English peopleTrr the Americans that he was given the nickname of 'American Jack.' "I knew Lord Masham and he told me that lie Imputed his success to his adoption of the American spirit—the spirit of humble and unremitting inquiry and struggle. "Unremitting inquiry, a great struggle after improvement, was the keynote of the American character, Lord Masham saidv and what he .disliked in the character o F l o o "many Britons" was the direct opposite to this—a stupid and domineering Ignorance. "'Stupid and dcminee:!np ignorance,' said Lord Masham. 'Why, a cockney visited my Swinton hall estate one day and seeing a farm boy planting potatoes shouted to the lad: "' "Hi y'y, what do you want a hidin' them—potatoes for, you idiot? LATE HEWS OF STRIKE GENERAL STRIKE ORDER HAS NOT YET BEEN ISSUED. A PEACEFUL TRUCE, THEN JOHN MITCHELL MAY GIVE LIFE TO A GREAT 8TRUGGLE. WOULD T H E MINES BE WORKED BY THE GOVERNMENT? T H A T 18 ONE RUMOR NOW. Quiet Before the Storm. No general strike order was issued by the national executive board of the union mine workers of America as a result of Saturday's meeting of that body. The meeting was held to complete arrangements to- carry out the policy committed tc the board during the national convention of the miners which closed Friday afternoon. This was"made effective by authorizing the district and sub-district officers to sign contracts wherever the operators signify willingness to pay the 1903 scale. Officially the operators do not recognize the suspension of work ordered by John Mitchell. At every colliery the gate will1 be opened as usual and the whistle blown at T o'clock. Any man who wishes to work is free to do so. As the engineers, pumpmen and fanmen are specially exempted for the time being, all machinery will be running. But not a miner is ex* pected to go down the shaft and not a breaker boy to sit over the chutes. Xor will the companies seek to induce any man to work. It rests entirely with the miners themselves. Doubtless many of the old conservatrtrtfrH4*^* w4>Hl4=4iktj let, eater the gates, but none will do so. The"y will obey .John Mitchell implicitly. Therefore, the next few /days are to be times of idleness and 'peaceful truce. But the moment Mitchell leaves the conference with operators and reports they cannot agree, the spirit of conflict will spring to life. All plans on both sides are made with this possibility in view. In that event whal will happen? John Mitchell and his associates will leave New York tot Wilkesbarre. IN ALABAMA T H E LAND OF SUNSHINE AMD PLENTY—OWN A FARM AND BE INDEPENDENT.

' *' Boy's Ambition Shocked Her. •"Well," said a teacher in one of the public schools recently, "I'll never lecture on ambition again. I've had my fill, for I've found that one can never tell in what direction a youngster's ambition may lie. "A few days ago I was so mortified that I scarcely knew what to say when one of my class stumped me completely. I was giving what I thought was a very, very severe lecture because , some of the boys were not doinp; as well as they should. "I told them they should hustle and study so as to make bright business men. Finally I turned to one boy, whose work had been far from satisfactory, and I said: 'John, you should work harder and do better, for you want to be a great man, don't you?' '"Oh, yes.* said John, twisting his forelock with much vigor. " 'And you don't want to be a driver of a garbage cart?' I continued, feeling that I had made a great start. "His face brightened up, and I thought I had made a 10-strike, but my hopes were crushed when he fairly shouted in his glee: 'Oh, yes, indeed; that's what my' father is.'"—Balti» more Sun. Faith.

Houston Post A call will be issued for assemblage of the convention of miners to meet possibly in this city or Hazleton. The result of the conference will be laid before the men. There will be two days of talk. Then they will vote to stick. All the engineers and pumpmen will leave their work and' the crisis will be on. Then the companies will begin active operations to—sarr-—their—miuoj from Hooding or filling with dangerous gases. Two plans have been arranged to be used, according to locality. Ohe is to put non-union men to. work under guard, and the other is to notify towns to save the property or it will be abandoned. According *o a report from Wash ington, if the coal strike becomes acute, President Roosevelt may seize and operate the mines with the aid of the United States army. He is said to have compelled settlement of the strike of four years ago by a threat to do this very thing, defying threats of impeachment made by Baer and other coal barons. Coffee Shows Coming Weather. A naturalist is said to use his morning cup of coffee as a barometer. It the sugar be dissolved undisturbed, air bubbles rise and remain on the surface.

So long as we love, we serve; so long as we are loved by others, I would almost say we are indispensable, and no man is useless while he has a friend.—Robert Louis Stevenson. President's View. President Roosevelt believes that the bituminous coal miners are in the right and the operators in the wrong, and that the anthracite operators are in the right and the miners are in the wrong. This is the conclusion of those who have talked with the president about the coal trouble since it became critical. Just what effect the president's divided opinion oh the merits of the cases of the two branches of mining will have on his future action H is too early to say, but it may lead to peace in one section of the country and war in another. He was not led to his conviction by a desire to straddle the situation, but by careful study. Encouraged by the president's views, the anthracite operators may fight to the end, believing that public opinion will take color from that of the president. On the other hand, the bituminous coal operators may yield rather than fight against the president's sympathy with their employes. Oil On the Waters. Resulting from the experiments of Lieut. Wycoff, retired, of- the navy. Rep. Jones, of Washington, introduced a bill requiring all seagoing a'/1 lake vessels to carry a quantity of oil with apparatus for its distribution on the water in time of storm, the quantity and regulations for its use to be prescribed by the government The use of oil is regarded as one of the best means of allaying the effect of waves on a vessel in a storm. Xetx gallons thrown overboard in* a sack of certain texture and fastened to the vessel by a line will distribute sufficient oil for several hours. Two gallons is regarded as sufficient for a \ifeboat. Joe Transier, of Bennington, Kas., has been sentenced to one week in bed for drunkenness.

A CURE JOR DEBILITY Or. Williams' Pink Pills A Reliable Remedy for the Weak, Ailing and Bloodless. When the body is weak and the blood thin it is sometimes difficult to find the cause unless a wasting illness has preceded, or the sufferer happens to be a girl on the verge of womanhood. Obscure influences, something uu« healthful in one's surroundings or work, may lead to n slow impoverishment of the blood and an eufeeblemeut of the whole body. When a serious stage lias been reached there seems to be nothing that will account for it. Mr. C. E. Legg, of Tipton, W. Ta., has found a successful method, of treating weakness aud bloodlessuess. He Siivs : " I used Dr. Williams''Pink Pills for weakness caused by a lingering malarial fever that began in the spring of 1896. The worst effects of this were indigestion and ft bad state of my blood. I was anaemic, as the doctors say. People generally would say that I didn't have blood enough, or that I didn't have the right kind of blood ; miue was too thiu. My kidneys and liver were out of order. X was badly annoyed by sour risings from iny stomach. There was a good deal of pain, too, in my back and under my right shoulder blade." "'* How long did these troubles last? " "For over two years. For four months of that time I was under the care of a physician, but his medicine did me no good. Meanwhile I learned of the cures that mid been wrought by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." "You owe your cure to these pills?" " I certainly do, and I also know that they are helping others to whom I have recommended them.

He managed to drop behind the logs, though It.was with some misgivings lest one or more of the rapidly approaching Confederates might have seen his figure, and be impelled by curiosity If nothing more to institute a search. This would soon be settled, however. They were coming up fast. As yet the tumult and confusion within the old house had not ceased. Wounds had been given freely, and the recipients of the samo had by this time been worked up to such a pitch of frenzied excitement that they cared little whether they struck friend or foe in their reckless shooting— indeed, under such peculiar conditions' all men must be looked upon as foes. So far as they were concerned it would seem that the fugitive had little or nothing to fear. All he hoped was that the advancing forces would pass by his place of concealment. Those in the lead did so. Luck appeared to be in his favor. He was even congratulating himself on this facL_and_'feeling less of a strain on his mind,- when the wnoie fabric of his hopes was knocked down. Three men came to a halt. They were not more than ten feet away from the man in hiding. Thus he was enabled to hear every word tney uttered, in spite of the furious sounds coming from the direction of the house, which. • it faintly struck him, were now unifed in terror. —"Are year sartiii, Cooney?" satrt oner "Just as sure as that I've got a head. He dodged in among these logs whoever or whatever it was" declared a second and very positive voice. "Might have been a dog.'* "Or a bar." At this there arose a protest. though fortune frowned upon his efforts. It was as welcome as unexpected to him. The three Confederates had reached the wood pile, and were already engaged in cutting the air with the weapons they held. As they industriously labored in this manner, tlu. laughed and joked in a cold-blooded way as to how they would carve the black rascal when by good fortune they discovered him. This was all very fine fun for the boys, as in the fable, but death to the frog. They drew near his hiding place. In another minute Colonel John would he obliged to spring out and show himself unless he cared to be spitted on a saber like a fowl. He gripped his revolver, which could only be used now as a billet. "What chance would he %ave if he suddenly sprang out and ran? Would the men pursue? He was fairly light of foot and under ordinary conditions might hope to elude them, several things being in his favor, such as the fact of darkness surrounding them. There was one thingt however, that made the colonel hesitate. He knew full well these men cared little or nothing about human life. Whether they still labored under the impresstoTr tlrat the figure thus= springing into view was that of a wretched darky, or recognizing him as a soldier belonging to the hostile army, it was all the same. Before the hunted fugitive had gone ten paces three guns, wonld have belched out their contents. At such a short distance he could not hope to evade the shower of lead, and in all probability, before the -echoes of the volley had ceased to sound he would be lying there, dead. It was a terrible position. Try as he would Colonel John found little from wllueh to make u choice. In his desperation lie even decided that his best plan was attack instead of fight—that if ho could suddenly a flying figure through one of the windows. The man did not wait to raise the sash. He was in too big a hurry. As he sprang he carried the whole sash with him, and there was the greatest kind of a jingling as the shattered glass rattled on the ground. The cause of this worthy's extreme haste was made evident as soon as he appeared. V He was on fire. The sight of a man with his clothing ablaze, thus leaping from the window, was enough in itself to startle the spectators. As soon as he landed on the ground he began to roll over and over, with considerable presence of mind, acting under the belief that the cool earth would extinguish the flames. All the while, however, he was bellowing madly for assistance, though no one was in a position to lend him much of a helping hand. Even in this fleet ing glim use which. John had obtained of the man he believed he recognized him as Major Worden. It cannot be said that he felt much sympathy for his rival and foe, since the man had acted toward him in such a merciless manner. After all, it looked like a just punishment. As he dealt to others so Heaven meted out punishment to him. Other figures appeared. These, however, came through the doorway. They staggered like drunken men— perhaps this was in part due to their wounds, and in addition the pungent smoke which, filling the interior, had weakened them. After them they dragged a comrade too far gone to help himself. It was a strange sight. =- No wonder Colonel John gazed=apon it with considerable emotion. He was the direct cause of the whole affair. It made his breast heave at the very thought. They had stood a dozen men against one, and yet he could claim the victory. Surely that was something to be proud of. He had no further need of worry concerning the trio of fellows who had been so industriously examining the precincts of the wood pile. The spectacle presented by the blazing house, and the sight of men leaving it in^such mad haste, had appealed to their curiosity. They even forgot what had latterly engaged their attention, and started on a run for the house. This was John's chance. ROUOHT I T ON. Severe Congestion of the Kidneys Soon Cured by Dean'a Kidney Pills. Richard M. Pearce, a prominent business man of 281 So. Orange St., Newark, N. J., says: "Working nights during bad weather brought on a heavy cold, aching of the limbs and pain in the back and kidneys. Severe congestlon^fef the kidneys followed. Besides the terrific aching there were whirling headaches, and X became exceedingly weak. My doctor could not help me, and I turned to Doan's Kidney Pills, with the result that the kidney congestion disappeared and, with it, all the other symptoms. What Is more, the cure has lasted for eight years." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Mllburn. Co.. Buffalo, N. Y. *}' i »y y ^ M L ' ^ V • * < How One Girl Found a Husband. All pretty girls traveling are not advised to follow the example set by the heroine of this true story. Last week Miss Droop of Washington was married to a young merchant of Bremen after he had journeyed far to find the lady of his love. Two yeffFSy ago Miss Droop, with friends, was traveling from Bremen to Berlin when a handsome man entered the car. He proceeded to read a German paper. She Bald to another girl: "How fine looking he is. I wouldn't mind being married to a German if I could get such a handsome one." She spoke in "English, and the young man sat with a stolid countenance, as if he couldn't understand a word. Really, he knew English thoroughly. The marriage Is the sequel. > ' l '"Hi.*'. "Thar isn't no bars around this section. Pete comes from the backwo ©4s whar they're at hum. Now, if I.was asked my opinion I'd say 'twant no dog nor yet a bar, but a black nigger in the woodpile; you've heard that said, I reckon," with a laugh. "No matter who or what it am, let's pet it out. Perhaps thar's some connection at ween this here thing as we don't know its natur, and the lovely rumpus in the house yonder.'' There spoke a wise man. He had one auditor, however, who was not likely to applaud his verdict. This was the self-same party designated under the general term of a "thing," who crouched in the midst of 1he wood pilo and awaited the coming investigation in anything but a pleasant frame of mind. Escape seemed hopeless. All around him the enemy appeared, and now they were about to probe al! the dart, spots connected with the big pile of wood. In another minute or two he might expect to find these worthies stabbing each center of gloom most viciously with . saber or bayonet. Ugh! the prospect was not very inviting. What made it worse was the fact that he had so poor a chance of defense. His weapon was empty. Besides that he had nothing with which he could protect himself save his good right arm. This being the case, the dismay that seiaed upon our soldier hero may be readily uiM"'0ciated. He had made the most desperate l)ld for liueily, but It began to look as leap upon the nearest of his persistent enemies, knock him down, seize upon his gun, and open fire on the others, there might be at least a fair measure of hope for him. Before he had been forced into accepting these desperate chances the sudden change in the tide came about. The first John knew of it was when one of the men gave vent to a shout: "Look! the old rookery's ablaze!" Of course he meant the house in which the Federal colonel had been taken by his enemies, and where he had defied them—the house they had Intended should be the scene of his execution, but which, strangely enough now, gave promise of proving a funeral pyre to some of their number. Involuntarily even Colonel John bent his startled gaze in that quarter. It was no false alarm. Flames were already bursting out of the windows, showing what a fire trap the rookery was. How the fire nad started was no mystery, since the reckleus bombardment within had continued up to the very moment when the flames made their appearance. Then it ceased. Perhaps the ammunition of the combatants within had been exhausted, or it might be they were now awakened to the deadly danger men* acing them from another quarter. At any rate, the fact of the 'house being on fire served John a good turn. The three men ceased their labor and turned their attention toward the house. Even as they looked there came Life was just as precious to him as to any other man who ever breathed, though in the heat of buttle he did show a reckless disregard of it th^t could be set down to his ardor and patriotism. When, therefore, he found the coast apparently clear, he lost no time in leaving his place of hiding.' In one sense it had served him well. Still, should he continue to cling to his quarters he might soon have occasion to regret it, for the three raen,; finding the excitement of the fire to pall upon their senses,, might presently return to resume their play at the wood pile. On the whole, the opportunity was too good to be lost, since a kind fortune had paved the way. He again sought the open ground and began to run for the shelter of the woods. Some evil fortune caused one of the men to turn and look over his shoulder when half way to the burning house. Colonel John had by this time gotten such a start that under ordinary conditions he might have been safe from discovery. It chanced, however, that the very thing which had served him so well in drawing his foes away now playec* him an evil turn. This was the fire. As the flames burst out of various windows and -began to lick up' the dry 'wood so eagerly, they dissipated the semi-darkness that had heretofore, wrapped the surrounding territory in its mantle. Thus, this Confederate trooper looking back without any definite reason, discovered the fleeing figure of the Federal colonel, making for the woods. The idea came that it must be the fellow whom they had sought in the wood pile. If that was the case he deserved death. So the trooper swung his gun around and with as good an aim as the conditions allowed let fly. One detonation more or less mattered little. The fleeing figure threw up both arms and fell in a heap upon the ground. :, (To be continued.) Chocolate In Spain. The Spaniard's usual breakfast is a cup (as small as an afterdinner cup) of chocolate, a small roll, and a rollshaped piece of sweet, white substance like the outside of a meringue. The nourishment is in the cup of chocolate, which is so thick that it is eaten instead of sipped from a spoon. To the one cup goes an ounce of sweetened and cinnamon-flavored chocolate melted over the fire, with just enough water to stir it smooth. Like a Page of Dickens.

Some one said "Coffee never hurts any one." Enquire of your friends and note their experiences. A Phiia. woman says "During the last 2 or 3 years I became subject to what the doctor called 'coffee jags' and felt like I have heard men say they feel who have drank too much rum. It nauseated me, and I felt as though there was nothing but coffee flowing through my veins. "Coffee agreed well enough for a time, but for a number of years I have known that it was doing me great harm, but, like the ram toper, I thought I could not get along without it. It made me nervous, disordered my digestion, destroyed my sleep and brought on frequent and very distressing headaches. "When I got what the doctor called a 'coffee jag' on, I would give up drinking it for a few day3 till my stom&ch regained a little strength, but I was always fretful and worried and nervous till I was able to resume the use of the drug. "About a year agoJLwas persuaded to try Postum, btfT"as I gotNt in restaurants it was nothing but a sloppy mess, sometimes cold, and always weak, and of course, I didn't like it. Finally I prepared some myself, at home, following the directions carefully, and found It delicious. I persevered in its use, quitting the old coffee entirely, and feeling better and better each day, till I found at last, to my great Joy. that my ailments had all disappeared and my longing for coffee had come to an end. "I have heretofore suffered intense* ly from utter exhaustion, besides the other ailments and troubles, but this summer, using Postum, I have felt Crtiel Man. fine." Name given by Postum Co..

The author depicts the unhygienic conditions existing in , most places of public assemblage, owing to the lack of fresh air, and says that the need for reform in this regard Is also great in private dwellings. The curse of modern living is overworking, overheating and lack of ventilation, not to mention worry and hasty eating. The suggestion is made of utilizing the roofs of dwellinghouses as sources of fresh air, by constructing roof gardens. The Waiter's Rebuke. Bishop Brewster of Connecticut, while visiting some friends not long ago, tucked his napkin In his collar to avoid the juice of the grape fruit at breakfast, says Lippincott's. He laughed as he did it, and said it reminded him of a man he once knew who rushed into a restaurant, and, seating hims%lf at a table, proceeded to tuck h!s napkin under his chin. He then called a'waiter and said: "Can I get lunch here?" "Yes," responded the waiter in a dignified manner, "but not a shampoo." \ K I D N E Y •Ph PILLS The name of Frank Castor, alias Conrad, alias Connors, will go down in the criminal history, of Colvntfms, 0., in connection with two of its most daring crimes—attempted burglary an'd the .murder, of Detective Daniel B.'Davis at the Borne of Horace L. Chapman on June 7 last, and the subsequent attempt at Jail dellrery In an effort to accomplish Castor's release. For the murder of Detective Davis, Castor may give up his life in the electric chair. Castor is a native of Flint, Mich., und Is 26 years of age. His., parents, who still reside in that city, visited him at** the penitentiary recently and, although they were deeply affected, Castor maintained that same dull indifference that has characterized his conduct throughout. In 1901 Castor was caught in an attempt at burglary in Michigan and in the pistol duel which followed he fired five times at Detective Fisher. For this crime he was sentenced to prison for five year&, but soon effected his escape. He then came to Ohio and operated extensively in this state and Pennsylvania, but had never visited Columbus up- to the time of the murder of Detective Davis. He is also charged with having killed Detective Patrick Higgins at Erie, Pa., early in 1905. Higgins was a bicycle man and caught Castor as he was coming out of a house. The two exchanged shots and several bullets took effect in Higgins's stomach. Castor is also suspected- of having killed a detective at Altoona, Pa. Canton, O., was the rendezvous for Castor and his gang for several years. Heir is Deaf and Dumb. St, Petersburg dispatches say that a new law of succession Is being prepared because the boy heir to the Russian throne is deaf and dumb and abnormally small brained. The Slovo, one of the leading newspapers in St. Petersburg, Intimates that the story is true. The hope of Russia has t)een centered In the son of the czar, born in TERRItLlt SCAUP HUMOR. August=1904 with the advent of a male heir to ihe throne much of the dissension that existed throughout the empire would disappear, and with new reforms inaugurated by the czar the country would be pacified and the tottering throne strengthened. " The infant heir to the throne was carefully shielded from the gaze of any pei*ons except members of the imperial household. For a time it was asserted tiiat this was to protect the child from assassination. Sadly Affected With Sorts and Crusts -- —extended Down Behind the Ears . ^ A n o t h e r Cure by Cutlcura.

"For the last few years I've been trying to get nervous patients to give this simple remedy a trial, but I really think its simplicity was against it. These fashlenablo women want something expensive, with a wonderful name, and prescribed by some noted specialist who charges a fabulous sum for each visit. When anything is simple, easy and cheap It doesn't stand any chance with them at all. "A celebrated nerve specialist told me only the other day that one could hardly overestimate the benefit derived from the almost wholesale eating of raw eggs in case of serious nervous exhaustion. Not a raw egg now and then—not a bit of it—but raw eggs two at a time and. at least four_ times-a^=4ayi -=Ten eggs a-=day are often taken by a patient with most excellent results. This same No Fresh Air In London. "' The re Is no fresh ~3tr™in~the "heartof London, according to the conclusions of a recent Investigator. He says: "No evidence of ozone was anywhere apparent, except at Brownswood Park, in the northeast It was from the northeast quarter the wind was blowing and the air had lost all trace of ozone before it had reached Hyde Park; at Bushey Park, although practically a country district, no ozone was present in the air. London had not only abstracted the goodness out of the air that swept over it, but had added to it the exhalations from the breath and bodies of thousands of animals. Persons living within a one or two mile radius of Charing Cross cannot have fresh air entering their dwellings at any time." Wants Women Given a Chance. -A-Coujaeetieutr -Republican—want s= women appointed on the governor's Slaughter Was Necessary. Maj. Hugh L. Scott, governor of Sul.u archipelago, although not present at the time of the extermination of the band of Moros on Mount" Dajo, is of the opinion that, the killing was necessary. In an interview in Washington, where he Is or» leave, he stated that the men and women were out- laws, who, in Uellauce of (Jdei's -froTTT the American government on the island, took refuge in the crater of the volcano and fortified the- mountain fastnesses and descended on peaceable natives and murdered and pillaged. "What else could the government do?" asked the major. "The fac^t that they persisted in remaining in such a place showed that they intended to resist the authorities. "The base of the mountain had too hip a front for a siege: besides, theravages of disease would have been terrible, lying for months in such a country. The outlaws had a water supply, with crops and provisions that would last for two years. "Much to be regretted is the killing of women and children. The authorities sought to avoid it and the men | forced to do the killing regret it •more than those who, thousands of miles away, sit in criticism." Children and Sleep.

The published statements of a number of coffee importers and roasters indicate a "waspy" feeling towards us for daring to say that coffee is harmful to a percentage of the people. A frank public discussion of the subject is quite agreeable to us and can certainly do no harm; on the contrary when all the facts on both sides of any question are spread before the people they can thereupon decide and act intelligently. Qlve the people plain facts and they will take care of themselves. We demand facts in this coffee discussion and propose to see that the facts are brought clearly before the people. A number of coffee importers and roasters have joined a movement to boom coffee and stop the use of Postum Food Coffee and in their newspaper statements undertake to deceive by false assertions. Their first is that coffee is not harmful. , We assert that one In every three coffee users has some form of incipient o r chronic disease; realize for one moment what a terrible menace to a nation of civilized people, when one kiud of beverage cripples the energies and health of one-third the people who use it. We make the assertion advisedly and suggest that the reader secure his own proof by personal inquiry among coffee users. Ask your coffee drinking friends if they keep free from any sort of aches and ails. You will be startled at the percentage and will very naturally seek to ftlace the cause of disorder on something aside from coffee, whether food, Inherited tendencies or something else. Go deener In your search for facts. If your friend admits occasional neuralgia, rheumatism, heart weakness, stomach or bowel trouble, kidney com* plaint, weak eyes or approaching nervous prostration induce htm or her to make the experiment of leaving off coffee for 10 days and using Postum Food Coffee, and observe the result It will startle you and give your friend something to think ot Of couree, tf the pereoB It one ot the weak ssei and says "I can't quit" you will have discovered one of the slaves of the coffee importer. Treat such kindly, for they seem absolutely powerless to stop the gradual but sure destruction of body and health. Nature has a way of destroying a part of the people to make room for the stronger. It is the old law of "the survival of the fittest" at work, and the victims are many. We repeat the assertion that coffee does harm many people, not all, but an army large enough to appal the investigator and searcher for facts. The next prevarication of the coffee importers and roasters is their statement that Postum Food Coffee is made of roasted peas, beans or coru, and mixed with a low grade of coffee and that it contains no nourishment. We have previously offered to wager $100,000.00 with them that their statements are absolutely false. They have not accepted our wager and they will not. We will gladly make a present of $25.000.00 to any roaster or Importer of old-fa,*hioned coffee who will accept that wager. Free inspection of our factories and methods is made by thousands of people each month and the coffee importers themselves are cordially invited. Both Postum and Grape-Nuts are absolutely pure and made exactly as stated. The formula of Postum and the analysis made by one of the foremost chemists of Boston has been printed on every package for many years and is absolutely accurate. Now as to the food value of Postum. It contains the parts of the wheat berry which carry the elemental salts, such as .lime, iron, potash, silica, etc., etc.. used by the life forces to rebuild the cellular tissue, and this is particularly true of the phosphate of potash, also found In Graps-Nuts. which combines in the, human body with albumen and this combination, together with water, rebuilds the worn-out gray matter in the delicate nerve centers all over the body and throughout the brain and solar plexus. Ordinary coffee stimulates in an unnatnral way, but with many people it slowly and surely destroys and does not rebuild this gray substance so vitally Important tQ the well being of every human being.' These are eternal facts, proven, well authenticated and known to every properly educated physician, ehemlat a»d feed expert Please remember we never say ordinary coffee hurts everyone. Some people use it regularly and seem strong enough to withstand its attacks, but there is misery and disease in store for the man or woman who persists in its use when nature protests, by heart weakness, stomach and bowel troubles, kidney disease, weak eyes or general nervous prostration. The remedy is obvious. The drug caffeine, contained in all ordinary coffee, must be discontinued absolutely or the disease win continue in spfte of any medicine and will grow worse. It is easy to leave off the old-fashioned coffee by adopting Postum Food Coffee, for in it one finds a pleasing hot breakfast or dinner beverage that has the deep seal brown color, changing to a rich golden brown when good cream is added. When boiled long enough (15 minutes) the flavor is not that of rank Rio coffee but very like the milder, smooth and high-grade Java, but entirely lacking the drug effect of ordinary coffee. Anyone suffering from disorders set up by coffee drinking (and there is an extensive variety) can absolutely depend upon some measure of relief by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. If the disease has not become too strongly rooted, one can with good reason expect it to disappear entirely in a reasonable time after the active cause of the trouble is removed and the cellular tissue has time to naturally rebuild with the elements furnished by Postum and good food. It's only just plain old common sense. Now, with the exact facts before the reader, he or she can decide the wise course, looking to health and the power to do things. If you have any doubt a-; to the cause of any ache or ail yoi]| may have, remember the far-reaching telegrams of a hurt nervous system travel from heel to head, and it may be well wo«tb;- your while to make the experiment of leaving off coffee entirely for ten days and using Postum in its place. You will probably gather some good solid facts, worth more than.a geM mine, for health can make gold and sickness lose it. Besides there's all the fun, for it's like a continuous internal frolic to be perfectly well. there's a reason for POSTUM *eata» Oafeal Oa,, lea. >* - * ' • - ' ( , * • , * > ' . • * •'••A :• -rVl •-. vs •v: . 4 I 'k&A i •:< i- I / y --¾f I -t.«-« WW ™tf" .

The greatest wonder of the antipodes 1B the celebrated glowworm cavern, discovered in 1891 in the heart of the Tasmaniau wilderness. The cavern or caverns (there appears to be a series of such caverns in the vicinity, each separate and distinct) are situated near the town of Soutbport, Tasmania, in a limestone bluff, about four miles from Ida bay. The appearance of the main cavern is that of an underground river, the entire floor of the subterranean passage being covered with water about a foot and a half in depth. These wonderful Tasmaniau caves are similar to all caverns found in limestone formation, with the exception that their roofs and sides literally shine with the light emitted by the millions of glowworms which Inhabit them. > : > " • ! • • • • * •i '•• X You cannot drive purchasers \ \ to any particular store.

The Orebladet describes how it is done. The drunkard fills the palm of his hand with "aque- Vlt" (strong corn brandy) and sniffs it through his nose. A few applications do the work, while the same quantity of liquor'^ajien into the stomach would hardly be felt. "Nose drinking" has become a real vice with some individuals. The effect of it is terrible, because the whole nervpus system is paralyzed in a moment, and the drunkard remains almost unconscious for several minutes. Afterward a sleepy fatigue is felt, as after smoking opium. Not a n Arreat, bat * R e s c u e . "You were arrested for striking your wife."

The average girl, though she may be spoiled, selfish aud at times ungrateful, turns to mother for comfort, for advice, and when needed Is kind, considerate and helpful. Some time ago I worked hard to give hay boy And girl a treat. They were away from home for a few days and I fixed up each one's room with new curtains, new carpets and a lot of new things for their shelves, tables and dressers. My little girl was so delighted that she could scarcely contain herself. My son never noticed the things and never expressed a word of thanks when his attention was finally called to them. I have talked with other mothers and almost without exception their experience is the same. The daughters are the kindest and most grateful, while the boys exact the most "attention, help the least and cause us the most worry and heartaches.— Kansas City Journal. *l DESERT HEAT.

Mrs. Smith was a woman of sterling character and quaint humor that endeared her to her many friends, faithful in the discharge of her duties to her husband qnd children. Since the death of ber husband in 1888 she lived with her only son who tenderly cared for her until two years ago when tailing health made it cecessary tor her to leave her home and spend part ot the time with her two daughters.

THE COLLECTION OF INTEREST ON RAILROAD BACK TAXES WILL BE RESISTED. THE STATE SCHOOL FUNDS ARE A LARGE PROBLEM FOR STATE OFFICIALS NOW. New York is going to erect a statue to Joseph Jefferson—at t h e expense of the rest of the country, as usual. The Rockefeller family is pretty much likeJLbe rest of us, after all. It's three generations from cradle to wig. A Japanese inventor h a s produced the wireless telephone. If it will carry Japanese it surely ought to carry English. Those pessimists who find "cussedness" everywhere ought not to be surprised; they don't look for anything else. Thirteen thousand miles of new railroad are under construction in this country—and there's nothing unlucky about that! Maxim Gorky is coming to America. But this is not surprising. The only •wonder is that any of them will remain in Russia. A horse a t Bennings was beaten by Hocus Pocus. The only remarkable thing about it is that this time Hocus Pocus was a horse. A bank cashier has gone wrong in Pennsylvania. It would be a relief to hear of something that has not gone wrong in Pennsylvania. The Senatbrship. Senator Alger's letter announcing his withdrawal from the senatorial contest was issued in Detroit on the 6th inst. and reads as follows: Owing to the condition of my health I am compelled to withdraw my candidacy to succeed myself in the United State's senate. While it is a great sacrifice to sever a connection of many years' standing with the public affairs of my state, that sacrifice has become necessary. I take this opportunity to convey to the friends who have so loyally given me their support my heartfelt thanks and sense of lasting obligation, and to express to the state my deep gratitude for the honors it has seen fit to confer upon me. The senator, it is reported, shows more signs of permanent improvement in his health than he has at any time since his illness. He is still confined to the house, but has dispatched a good deal of business. Wm. Alden Smith made his announcement of his candidacy. He said: "I am a candidate for senator, and shall formally state my position. I favor the settlenu?nt of this matter at the June primary and shall invite the other candidates to systematically arrange for a trial of strength at the gubernatorial primary. Whoever rel ceives the largest vote to be accepted as the parry candidate, after which he can enter the state campaign a s the senatorial nominee and render efficient service for all candidates upon the state and county tickets. It' I am nominated. I promise to represent the entire state to the best of my ability and 1 ask the earnest an.i active cooperation of all citizens favoring my candidacy." William C. McMillan 'arid Arthur Hill, of Saginaw, have both begun to close in their lines in preparation for the conflict which is practically now on That powdered milk which a Cornell professor is making is prepared foi use. like the old-fashioned kintr of city milk, by adding water. If a man can get $10,000 damages for being hit by a baseball that will be no incentive to him to wear a fender while watching a game. Talk about mean men! We know one who, because his wife is learning to cook, has ordered the doctor to eall every night after dinner. The simplicity of the people who believe that the simplified spelling idea will be generally accepted right away is beautiful to contemplate. It is asserted by a well-known law yer that women are responsible for 80'; per cent of the divorces—the other women, he means, no doubt. If President Castro would only whistle instead of keeping so deathly still, we might feel more confident that he isn't hatching some new mischief. The man who paid $6,000 for an.orchid at a London auction made a strong bid for fame, but the corretv pondent failed to say who he was. ?ossibly the indifference of the American people in the matter of saving Niagara falls arises from the serene conviction that they can't lose them. When the courts have decided whether phonographs are "music" they should try to-classify the kind of sounds emitted by the average upright piano.

When one considers the few laughs that-come between all the cries, there would seem to b e ample warrant for the conclusion that life is not much more than a big scare. Mr. Schwab, the steel king, is building for himself a palatial residence at Bull Frog, Nevada. It is believed he expects t o jump from there into the United States senate. **A harsh voice must always be viewed a s a misfortune."

A representative of the Chicago «k N o r t h w e stern railroad, which was credited with-having paid its taxes in full, with the penalty of $106,000, appeared in Lansing Saturday and asked to be permitted to pay only the taxes assessed against rhe company, amounting to $3:1*1,000. Inasmuch as the auditor- general had receive.1 a telegram from the company to hold its check, pe:mission Was granted to pay the tax, leaving the penalty unpaid, and a receipt for money paid on account was given. It is understood that there is to be a conference of the railroad companies within a few days at which it may be decided to make some kind of a contest on the matter of paying the penalties provided for by the ad valorem tax law, A New Problem. Just at present state officials are considerably .concerned to determine just what is the best way to preserve the money to come in from the great railroad tax levy as ordered by the United States supreme court, as over $9,000,000 of it is available for primary school purposes. There are over 200 school districts in the state which have not expended all the primary school funds allotted to ihem and the directors tin;] that the money \r. increasing on their hands every year. In fact it is asserted by State Superintendent of Public Instruction P. H. Kelley and other state officers that the next legislature will have to face the task of making changes in the school laws to meet new conditions and they say that one of the biggest things the constitutional convention will have to handle will be that of revising the organic school law. Prisoners Did Not Escape. For several hours last Friday the Jackson prison officials thought that two more convicts had gotten away, but late in the afternoon it turned out that they had not. At 4 o'clock Saturday morning .lames Wood and Valentine Mierzwa, who a r e employed in the kitchens, were discovered to bo missing. Immediately search was made, and a rope ladder made from twine from t h e broom shops, where the men are employed, with a rudely fashioned grappling hook on o n e end, was found hanging from the top of the outside wall of the prison yard. The whole niterior of the prison was thoroughly searched, and finally, about 5:30 p. m., the two convicts were found under the floor in one of the shops.

THE MARGIN FOR PASSAGE OP BILL LOOKS VERY NARROW, HENCE THE DELAY. THEHOUSE: GETTING BUSY NOW WORK8 SATURDAY ON AN APPROPRIATION BILL. Neither Side Confident. The reason that no agreement has yet been reached for a vote on the railroad rate bill in the senate is that i ward to the'pHces set'by'thls'soclet'y "•S&erHlcJUfa^unten ot t h e American Society of Bquity will be organised a n d o » c e r r e l i a t e d ? * t ttcieettag to be held in Owdsso on'April 27,and 28. This is an organisation of farmers which has for its object the securing of profitable prices for crop* by controlling the markets. In o t h e r ' w o r d s t h e idea- is to form a "farmers' trust." The society is only 3 years, old, but has members In 2,724 counties, out of a total of about 2,800 in the country suitable for agriculture, and at L'6,:J71 postofflces out of a total of GS.l-U in the country. It is proposed to now organize every state solidly, and "saturate the country with local unionH."' The prospectus says: "The farmer* grant to merchants and other* the right to manage their own business and make Mteir own prices, at the^ same time they are determined to attend to their own business so their prices will be as high in proportion a.** on any goods they buy from others. "They propose to check the declining prices of grain and send them up- M neither side yet feels confident of having enough votes to win. There are •flfty-five-ae-HveRepubHeans4n tbe sen* ate and thirty-three Democrats, a total of eighty-eight votes. Any closely contested proposition, therefore, requires forty-five votes to succeed. Neither Senator Tillman, who is in charge of the rate bill from the-house, which is indorsed in its main features by the president, nor the conservative senators headed by Aldrich, Knox anu Spooner, are yet satisfied that either side has those forty-five votes corralled. The two main issues are the scopfc of t h e possible proceedings In court, after the interstate commerce commission has decided that a certain railroad rate is unjust, ami whether, pending litigation in court, the decision of the interstate commerce commission Khali remain in effect or not. House Work. The house did not indulge itself in the usual Sat-u rd-a-y half hoUday, buL continued the consideration of the postofflce appropriation bill, and in the latitude accorded under general debate the discussion took on a wide range, including railway mail pay, increased pay for rural letter carriers, the American smelter tniL-t and the .corrupt use of money in elections, with side light on naturalization laws. Mr. Pou (X. O , in discussing the corrupt use'of money in elections, said that life insurance officials had stolen the money which really belonged tu widows and orphans and it ought to be given back. He charged that great corporations an:l trusts contributed money >!uring ihe campaign and then expected a guarantee that no l:\w hurtful to their interests should he passer!. Charged With Murder. "Buck" Dwyer. how serving a short sentence in—the Detroit house of cor-" reetion, will soon he taken to Chicago io answer a, charge of murder. Gov.

He was arrested in Detroit recently hy Patrolman Shaw and sent up as a drunk. Chicago authorities heard of the arrest and Dwyer is said to have been identified.

"If marketing is controlled—supplies held back—it is claimed there is no question about the demand paying the price. The time set for the strike to begin is March 1, after which date it is recommended that not a bushel, pound, bale or ton of~fanrJ produceshall be sold for less than the prices agreed upon."

Warner because he recently turned down the offer of-a gift of bonds-of that state, proffered in behalf of Michigan.

"Tears Shod for Mc?'» ColoueJ J o h n was not killed by the bullet which the Confederate trooper Kent in his direction. The intention of the aforesaid trooper was doubtless good enough, but his execution a trifle faulty. Perhaps his haste was to blame, or his aim a little unsteady. In all probability, however, the real cause might be laid at the door of the flashing flames which made it very deceptive light. The motive of the colonel for pretending that TfeThaH been laid out try the bullet was plain enough. He fully expected the other two men, and indeed perhaps half a score to boot, would be ready to follow the iirst shot with a shower of lead. It was in the hope and expectation of avoiding these that he threw himself forward, and rolled upon the ground with all the symptoms of a dying man, when in truth the leaden messenger had hurtled harmlessly by a foot or two from his head. He.was only ten feet, more or less, from the edge of the woods. Once in the shelter of the trees, Colonel John felt his chances of escape would be much better than on the open. When he threw himself forward with- such a dramatic effect, Ridgeway^/ managed t o ^ j o l i nv-pr and ny^r several times until he had reduced the distance by half. He brought up i n ' s u c h a position that he could look in the direction of t.he "house. This was a wise precaution. The fellow who had fired might Mince some curiosity concerning the nature of his game or the possible brilliancy of his aim, and it would be only natural for him to come oiit to investigate. In this surmise Colonel John made a center shot. Some such motive influenced the mari^raan. Ho had left his comrades and was dashed upon the Confederate trooper, who, too astonished to offer any resistance, even if such a thought had come into his head, merely opened his arms and received the shock. Such was the impetus with which John commenced to make l i s dash into the woods that he quite carried the other off his feet, and both rolled over in a heap. This was in one way an unfortunate thing for the Federal officer. Left alone with the fellow he could readily have mastered him. The thought that struck him with alarm was the fact that the other trooper was advancing a s fast as his legs could carry him. Given half a minute or so of time and he must reach the spot. What then? Well, he would have a chance to use his saber to some advantage, and without any danger in return, seeing that the Federal would be in no condition to make any defense. The very thought encouraged John to make the most desperate efforts toward release. Although they had gone down together the Confederate was naturally underneath. Through instinct more than anything else he had clasped his long arms around the body of his unknown antagonist. It. was with the pertinacity of a bull-dog, -however, that he maintained "thisTIoIaT"""5 ""''""" - = • - - - = - - - - = » - » — - = - ^ - Vain were John's frantic endeavors to mak^e%those steel-like bands relax. He seemed hel^ as tightly as in a vise. Then like an inspiration there came to him the remembrance of the fact that he held in one hand the empty revolver. This he had clung to through all. It might now serve him a good purpose. " ~ ~ Without a second's delay he commenced to batter the trooper with the weapon. Such a fusilaue of blows raining upon his face made the fellow lose all advaiir-ing toward tlu> spot where the object of his quick t\vo had fallen. Kuigeway had no idea of awaiting his coming, sinn* he was in no condition ;o meet the man. Knowing his only chance lay in speedy flight the Federal rolled over ;\ few times more. }!e was now at the border of the trees. The trooper stumbling along and shouting at the top of his hoarse voice, had managed to clear half of The distance that originally separated him from the unknown object at whifh his bullet had been sent it seemed in vain. .Vow, while Colonel John had a healthy respect for flying lead, born ;>f intimate acquaintance in the past, he cared little or nothing for mere vocal music in the shape of threats, no matter what fearful shape they assumed. Consequently, when he.had arrived at what he considered the proper position for a r.ew move, he jumped to his teet without further ceremony *nd immediately made a plunge into '"> \v' Aaplafular thing occurred just then. • The colonel bounded straight -into the arms of another trooper who, attracted by the conflagration had been hurrying to the spot, taking his course through the woods. When two bodies moving in opposite directions come together, the collision is apt to be severe, and in nine cases out of ten the one* which at the moment of contact chances to be moving the faster comes out better lhan the other. Is this case It was the Federal who 7^j£fttOFAK?**B&2£O08P desire to hold his tormentor in the circuit of his embrace—indeed, just then his one thought seemed to be a desire to get rid of .such a plague without delay. No sooner did John And the long arms release their hold than he was quick to avail himself of the chance presented. He sprang to his feet. It was high time. The second trooper had made good use of his opportunity, and was almost within striking distance. Patience has its limits. The Federal had about reached that point where forbearance ceased to be a virtue. He was moreover forced into a corner, and where it became absolutely necessary that he adopt some new line of tactics. The man as he came swinging forward had his gun raised. No doubt it was his full intention to make use of the clubbed v;eapon in scattering the brains of the intrepid Yankee to the four winds. To this disposal of his own individual property Colonel John was ready to enter a demurrer. He believed there were other uses lo which this same brain power might be put, and which would be more to his advantage. Instead of endeavoring to leap In among the trees and make off, he simply backed away and stood there as if awaiting the onset. His defiant attitude and the manner in; which he presented the revolver gave the trooper the impression that he was heading Into great peril. He fully expected to hear the sharp report, and feel the sudden twinge. that would declare the fact of his being wounded. Nevertheless, he was possessed of grit, and instead of dodging aside, as the colonel had hoped might be the case, he rushed directly forward, meaning to be upon the enemy ere he could fire. It was a foolhardy act providing John had been so situated that he could reap the full advantages thus offered to him. There was plenty of opportunity to pull a trigger and plant a ball just where It would accomplish the most good. Unfortunately John could not avail himself of the chance, but after all It did not matter. Something else intervened. Fortune was not yet done playing strange tricks. The man who advanced found it necessary to keep his eyes upon the object of his assault, for he believed he might even yet escape the bullet he expected soon to be loosed. Under these conditions he could not very well observe the route he was taking. There was an obstacle in the way. This proved to be nothing more nor less than thet«half-stunned fellow with whom Colonel John had just engaged, and over whose devoted cranium he had exercised his arm with so much vigor. Of course the second trooper tripped. Losing his balance he fell headlong to the ground at the feet of the colonel. Some instinct seemed to cause him to immediately lay hold of the other's ankles. This the colonel at once resented as an insult to his dignity. As his flight was impeded he found himself compelled to turn upon his enemy, bound to 'mBlte~ntnrTe1ea;se his hold. Down upon his knees he dropped and again began striking out right and left with his revolver, Oaths and then groans and cries of pain attested to the fact that he was visiting condign punishment on the head of his enemy. In spite of his agony the fellow held on with theJtenacityof a Jmll-dog. "Let loose—do you hear—let go, or I shall have to kill you," said the Federal. Colonel John had a pretty good idea that reinforcements were on the way to the spot, and he was fully determined to get away before they arrived. -Whether the man understood or not. the FROMFOfiEM COUNTRIES VESUVIUS IS A BRAZIER FROM WHICH FIERY RUIN COMES.

Mount Vesuvius Is a colossal brazier and the town of Boscatrecase, on its southern declivity, has been transformed into a gray island of ruin by the ashes from the crater of the volcano. Torrents oT liquid fire, resembling In the distance serpents with glittering yellow and black scales, are coursing in all directions, amid rumblings, detonations and earth-tremblings, while a pall of sulphurous smoke that hovers over all makes breathing difficult. The streams of lava are resistless. They snap like pipe stems the trunks of chestnut trees hundreds of years old and blight with their torrid breath the blooms on the peach trees before the trees themselves have been reached. The molten streams do not spare the homes of the peasants, and when these have been razed, they dash Into the wells, as though seeking to slake their thirst, and, having filled them, continue their course down the moun tainside. Everywhere In the vicinity of the volcano pitiful scenes are witnessed, women tearing their hair in their grief and old men crying aloud at the loss of their beloved homesteads, wTTITenRf the distance, in striking contrast, lie the sapphire-colored Mediterranean, the violet-hued mountains of the Sorrento peninsula, and the island of Ca> prl In the tranquil sea.

Really this was growing monotonous— loo much of the same thing when he particularly desired a change in tho program. At any rate his bombardment must be producing a chaotic state in the fellow's mind, and if continued, a short t-kne longer would result in his releasing his clutch, which even now was mote a condition of habit than anything else. The firsr follow had by this time recovered his senses to a certain degree. At any rate he seemed to know what was .the cause of the beautiful headache from which he was suffering. Tho first thing Colonel John saw was this man. still squatted upon the ground, and covering him with a gun. How was he to know it was the empty carbine of the first trooper? Ho thought his life was in danger, and giving a desperate wrench succeeded in getting away from the clutch'that would have detained him. A quick dodge—the sound of a ham- VP.er falling upon an empty chamber, and John knew his chance had come at last. He did not wait to finish either of the two men whose interference had been tho cause of sc much trouble to hfcl^ Freedom was too valuable for him to fritter away one second of time in the endeavor to avenge his wrongs, and this freedom seemed so close to him that all he had to do was to put out his hand and* grasp it. When he plunged into the forest he knew some of the other troopers were coming up, and in a very short tlmf they must know all. What mattered it? The surrounding wood was familiar to this soldier of the federal h o s t - as a lad he had spent many a day in play in this section, so that almost even- tree was known to him. l i e could with impunity defy them now. Of course he had not yet left alt danger behind, since he was inside the Confederate lines and it would be well for him to keep constantly on the alert for signs of his foes. So he made his way along. Several times he drew near camp fires only to give them a wider berth, for around them he could see many stalwart figures in the gray of th« Confederate host. - (To be continued.) \ Witte With the People. A panic has been created in government circles by the surprising, strength developed by the Constitutional Democratsjn. the elections, which may have immediate and dramatic consequences". The issue between reaction and reform which has been hanging in the balance has been unexpectedly precipitated by Premier Witte. The elections have greatly strengthened the premier's hand in his fight agains: the reactionists, and he now feels strong enough to challenge Gen. Trepoff and Minister of the Interior Durnovo and the entire -reactionary cabal, No cold weather, no coal to buy, less clothing, and, in fact, living is one-half the cost as in the north. A man with very little capital can own a forti -aero tract and become independent in a few short years by raising vegetables aad fruits for the northern and eastern markets. We have the best shipping facilities, both by water and rail, making our lands the b6St garden spot la the country. This section offers more advantages for the wage-earner or the man with a small capital than any snot on this green earth. This land will yield larger profits than you can realise out of northern land worth $150 per aero. The land is a rich sandy loam, with a clay subsoil, and grows peaches, pears, grapes, figs and all kinds of small fruits and vegetables In great abundance. Also corn, oats, sweet and Irish potatoes aad cotton. This location is famous for its salubrious climate and curative powers. Plenty of creeks and pure spring drinking water.

Dowie Unmasked. John Alexander Dowie, dethroned, stripped of his property arid denounced ] as a fakir by those who once almosi j worshiped him as a demi-god, has made a last desperate struggle to regain his power. He has telegraphed Judge ; Baines, the head of the law department j at Zion City, ordering him to revoke j the power of attorney now held by Overseer Voliva, present head of Zion City. Fielding H. Wilhite, secretary of the Paradise Mexican plantation, is named as Voliva's successor. Dowie says he will be in Zion Cit.y early next week. Dowie has issued a statement from Ocotlan. Mexico, deposing Voliva and his official adherents and selecting others in their place. In Zion City most scandalous stories were raked up. They relate for the most part to Dowie's relations with the women of his community and his conduct toward his wife. These relations were given a religious character by Dowie, and are a portion of the evidence to .substantiate the charge that he preached polygamy more or less openly. Panama Death Rate. In 1882, the second year of the French occupancy of Panama, says Country Life in America for March, the death rate was 112 per 1,000, and the French had a force of only 1,900 men.,, In August, 1905, the second year of our-occupancy, in a feree-of 12,000 men, there were eight deaths, or two-thirds of a man to every 1,000. We have sent the death rate down from 112 to 8 by -igllant sanitary precautions. '—— — . » , . — , . • • • • • . - I . — » Reform in Floral Decoration.

We have heard of the upas tree, with its deadly odor; the man-eating tree, whose limbs stretched forth to grasp and draw into a fatal embrace the unwary victim, and the balloon tree, which when loosened from the restraint of all at* tenuated roots arose in air and soared away above the trackless wilds.

We finally procured a full set oi the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three or four days he began to show a brighter spirit and really laughed, for the firs£ time in a year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered.

But who is this cheery stranger, at whose modest knock the doors of palace and hut alike are opened with a hearty wercome? We merely know he is of German descent, but his trite origin and significance time has hidden from most of us. and to lift the veil, we must wander back thousands of years into the very heart of the Fatherland. It is still winter; lakes and streams are icebound, and the snow seems loath to withdraw its glistening mantle from the bleak and dreary fields. Yet in the heart of the Pagan mother is joy; she has heard to-day' the note of a songbird and has seen the willows stretch forth their silver hooded buds; there is no doubt Ostara. the goddess of spring, is on the way. Gladly she hastens home with the good tidings, gathers her children around her and whispers to them: "The hare of Ostara has been here. little ones. Do you know what that means? We must prepare for the Osterfestival. Father is already in the forest, gathering wood for the flre that shall greet the kind godtWss at her arrival.'* "But how did the little hare lyiow, mother dear." "Ah, my child," said the mother smiling, there was no need of it. My grandsirc told me the story of Ostara's hare when I was not older than thou art now. Listen to me, little ones, and I will tell you what he said. "Long, long years ago, when the earth was still young, a fearful winter visited this land. Ice and snow would not cease, and man and beast perished from cold and hunger. Ah, how grieved the gentle goddess Ostara was when she looked down frorh on high and beheld the misery of her children! Well she knew that before long her reign would begin, and grass and' flowers spring up wherever her foot touched the ground, and the air become fragrant with her breath. But, alas! hope had di^d within the hearts of the people, and she longed to comfort them.

Effect of Condiments on Food. The Russian physiologist Pavlov, has clearly demonstrated in hi8 researches on digestion, that the indigestion of substances with a purely nutrient value does not sufficiently satisfy the demands of the b o d y - taste and appetite must also be taken Into consideration. These are satisfled only by the addition to the food of spices and salt, and it is largely due to the influence of these condiments that the proper amount of gastric juice Is liberated by the nmcoun membrane of the stomach. The action upon ihe stomach of reflpx stimuli Is shown by the favorable effect on the flow of the gastric secretions made by mental Impressions induced by rlu1 mere sight and odor of a well-prepared dish.— MetHcal Record.

VARIOUS FLOWERS OF EASTER. Every Christian Land Has fts Special Embl«m of the Day. Every country has its flowers' especially given to Easter, whether spotless white or tinted in opal hues like the wings of Fra Angeltco's angels. The entire church calendar may ini deed be counted in bloom from the j Candlemas lily in February to the I Glastonbury thorn on Christmas day. The Easter flower of two centuries ago for the little English girl was the yellow daffodil, and she bore its goldj en bloom to the service with a glad j devotion. It was the Lent lily, and 1 she watched eagerly for the first I green blades to pierce the earth, or remembered a bank where It grew it wild profusion and went to seek it there, full of -delight when its yellow bells greeted the sunshine. The little Butch maiden carried handfuls of anemone, the first flowers that come after the cold and snow. The Dutch maiden calls it Paas Blumtje, because it blooms at Easter. But the PingsterBloem, the flower of Whitsunday, our pink azalea, is even dear^ er, and parties of young people gather it to adorn the homes. All over our country the lily is claimed for Easter, and the name is given to one species which we call Easter lily. This pure white blossom is noted In early paintings. The lily of the annunciation was always placed beside the madonna or In the hand of the Angel Gabriel, and the shimmering purity of its satin vesture seems to make it especially"tutted to speak of that new life tbat cornea from the dark shadows o f , ^ grave,—Miss DuBols in the Interior. DECAYED STARCH. A Food Problem. An Asheville man tells how right food did that which medicines had failed to accomplish "For more than 15 years," he says, "I was afflicted with stomach trouble and intestinal indigestion, gas forming In stomach and bowels and siving me great distress. These conditions were undoubtedly due to the starchy food I ate, white bread, potatoes, etc., und didn't digest. I grew worse with time, till, 2 years ago, I had an attack which the doctor diagnosed as appendicitis. When the surgeon operated on me, however, it was fomid that my trouble was ulcer of the pancreas, instead of appendicitis. - . "Since that time I have had several such attacks, suffering death, almost. The last attack was about 3 months ago, and I endured untold agonies. "The doctor then said that I would have to eat less starchy stuff, so I began the use of Grape-Nuts food for I knew It to be pre-digested, and have continued same with most gratifying results. It has built me up wonderfully. I gained 10 pounds in the first U weeks that I usid Grape-Nuts, my general health is better than ever before, my brain is clearer and my nerves stronger. "For breakfast and dinner, each, 1 take 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with, cream, a small slice of dry toast, an egg soft boiled and a cup of Posturn; and I make the evening meal on Grape-Nuts and cream alone— this gives me a good eight's rest and I am well again."

Flying Fish FUalty Propei ThemMlvsj Through the Aliv ' • Does the flying fish really fly, ©r is the so-called flight a mere extended leap,' Jn which the fins, are used xffl the principle of the aeroplane to float or rest on the air, and so afford sup* port to the body? The question has been much discussed, and many naturalists have denied it the power of true flight. Mr. Frank Bullen, who in. his many voyages has had unique opportunities for observing the flying fish, is emphatic in the assertion that it does really fly in the proper sense of the word. He has seen it, for example, change its*course at a sharp angle when an obstacle intervened, and when about to re-enter the water he has seen it rise and continue its course on seeing an enemy below. Some recent observations contributed by Lieut. Col. Durnford to the London Annals and Magazine of Natural History, confirm this view.

Going through fhe hospitals in our large cities one is surprised t o find such a large proportion of the patients lying on thoae snow-white Deds women and girls, who are either awaiting or recovering from sericwa operations. Why should this be the case ? Simply because they have neglected themselves. Female troubles are certainly on the increase among the women of this country—they creep upon them unawares, but every one of those patients in the hospitalbedsJhad plenty of warning in that bearing-down ieelin g, pain at left or right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, dizziness, flatulency, disf> lacements of the organs or irregularties. All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy^ condition of the female organs, and if not heeded the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation. When these symptoms manifest themselves, do not drag along gpljl yoii„are obliged t o g o to the hospital andl submit tf> a n operation—- but remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound hasjsaved thousands of women from surgical operations.

It's all right to live up to your ideala, provided you are satisfied to stay poor. The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devoto their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. . They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and.corresponding adjuncts "of a first-class pharmacy and the "finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The e a r n i n g of. a fair l i v i n g , w i t h t h e s a t i s f a c t i o n w h i c h a r i s e s from a k n o w l e d g e of t h e benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and" that it gives linivcrsal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in pases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the Hvef and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they arc glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations Borjaetimes have the name-1-" Syrup of Figs"—or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package."but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of '-Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physician5, prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness* Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased everywhere, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform, the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not b«ar the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices. / . • , - • • • r 7 f:.-jfj A ^ - i L>iAS!»*0 1 i lija/niiiill 1 'WW MB;** ''>.' ^''^•w'iiJ^' %'4*t--'; •••: !>&•*.; •'\*w ^ : - ¾ ¾ ^ ^ •'•4?-!' ««• HJTv El I * • • i MEN'S CLOTHING ' * i DA Vis CLOTHING eo.

While this is wonderful it i* qnly in Utfe w i $ other discoveries ^ 1 ° ¾ a»adr by scientific men, nbtably Prof. Burhank in vegetable and Prof. Loeb in animal life. 4 professor of chemistry in o n e of the Chicago colleges, whose modesty prevents his allowing his name to be published until later on, has, we are informed, for some time been experimentiag wiUi fowls, somewhat on the line, however, of hypnotism- Every farmer's boy knows that hens are very susceptible.to hypnotic influences, and It is quite common in the country for boy* to BoTd a hen firmly in their hands and. looking cross-eyed at it, the fowl will soon begin to look cross-eyed and go about for days in that condition. The first experiment made by the professor was in feeding to hens pepper and salt mixed and hanging before hens salt and pepper boxes, so that they could \ be plainly seen, and in a few days the eggs produced were all seasoned ready for use. Going still further in the matter, he fed the hen on comminuted ham, and the next day the hen produced an egg which, on being cooked, could not 1* distinguished from the ordinary ham and eggs as served in restaurants, except that It was all together, like a pancake, and it then occured to him that possibly by applying the direct rays of the sun to the hen it might produce a cooked egg, ud'alCer^inwrlnWliUBg'hy put Hug the hen in a glass box and exposing it to the sun the hen produced a cooked egg, and although these things may seem remarkable to the unscientific mind, the professor went still further, and reasoned out that hens could as well produce two eggs per day as one. He therefore fed the hen on sulphur and lime, and also contrived a box with a spring bottom, so that when the first egg was laid it was dropped to a cushion below, and then the hen, as usual, turning around to see the egg which she had laid and it not being visible, in less than^ an hour produced another complete egg^ but it is only fair to say that it was of the common variety, and not quite as large as usual, but the professor thinks within a reasonable time he will produce an educated hen that will lay THE LAKE NAVAL MILITIA FROM FOUR STATED .

Our Lake Navy. rt Is hoped tfcat T o m e r Executive Officer Newberry, of the Michigan Naval Reserves, will find time from his duties as assistant secretary of the navy to visit the officers in charge of m e squadron evolutions-to b e held on the great lakes early in August, which will be the first Interstate gathering of naval militia in the United States. Thus far, none of the states along the ocean have had interstate squadron evolutions, hence men of the middle west. In the states bordering on the great lakes, take a just pride in their patriotic enterprise. The states represented will include Illinois, whose sailors are technically known as the Illinois Naval Reserves, joined by the naval militia of Minnesota, Ohio and Michigan. Illinois will send her reserves on the U. S. S. Dorothea, Michigan men will go on the 11. S. S. Yantic: Ohio's sailors will be on board the U. S. S. Essex and the U..-S.-S.

Tuesday will be devoted to target practice, squadron evolutions and battle tactics, which take place west of South Manitou island, in that part of the lake unfrequented by merchant ships. • On Wednesday, the men will be engaged in landing a force of infantry and artillery on South Manitou. On Thursday will occur the boat races and other naval sports. The H i g h w a y R i g h t s . The public highway should be maintained for public uses. Rights on the public roads when granted to private parties should be for temporary periods and as nonexclusive as possible in their terms. These points need to be insisted upon and most people see the force of arguments directed against the granting of perpetual franchises. It is idle, however, says the Chicago Daily News, for any newspaper or any public man to rail against the past practice of the state in respect of the highways—in giving perpetual rights of way to street car lines or exclusive rights for a period of years. The state in the past could not be wiser than any ot the people, and it is only of late that anybody has begun to reason with knowledge of what the future of electric railroading is going to be, and how important a part the high-! ways are going to—or could be made to—play in working out tho problem. What is past is past; the blunders already made are made, and they represented the opinion of their day, not only in the legislature, but throughout the province. It is the blunders that have not been made that need to be discussed. People do not yet put enough value on the public highway, which is under control of the municipalities and the province. One thing the people know is that they want electric railways, and want them now. For cheapness and convenience they want them on the highways. They expect that they and their children after them will use these lines perpetually. But they should get them by wise and not by foolish bargaining. squadron will leave in the afternoon for Harbor Springs, Mich. Friday morning the squadron sails north to Mackinac, where the vessels separate, the Dorothea returning to Chicago, the Gopher to Duluth, the Yantic and Hawk going sputh. There will be five days of hard duties. Already officers, quartermasters ami signalmen, in the various organizations concerned, have been actively engaged in preparations. Never before has there been so large an incentive. The affair is of national importance, and the records for efficiency, proficiency, aptitude and general appearance will be closely scrutinized by United States naval experts from the' Atlantic fleet. Must Pay the Whole. Attorney General Bradley has returned to the Wisconsin Central railroad a check for Che payment of its delinquent taxes and penalty which the company had assumed to figure at 5 per cent, instead of 1 per cent a month, as the tax law provides. Accompanying the check, which was returned, was a statement by the auditor general that he could not accept any amount iess than the full amount, of the taxes, with interest at the rate provided in the law. The checks of other railroad companies for the payment of taxes, without the penalty, have been held up by the auditor general, and will not be accepted until accompanied by the full amount of the penalty. ~ MICHfGiVN IN BRIEF.

AN EARNEST PLEA FOR HfGHER 3TANDARD8IN THEftEALM OF THE NATION'S AFFAIRS. The Potent Force of Evil. Presidentiftoosevelt's much-heralded speech on "The Man With the Muck Rake" was delivered Saturday after noon at the laying of the corner-stone of the house of representatives' office building. Among- the. many strong points of the address these bad place: "The man who never does any-thing save think, write or speak of his feats with the muck-rake is one of the most potent forces of evil." "The liar Is no whit better than the thief, and If h i s meadactty takes the form of slander he may be worse than most thieves." "One serious difficulty in getting the right type of men to dig the Panama canal Is t h e certainty that they will be assailed 'both within and without congress." "There Is nothing more distressing to every good patriot than the hard, scoffing spirit which treats the allegation of dishonesty in a public man as a cause for laughter." # "Some persons are sincerely incapable of understanding that to denounce mud-slinging does not mean the indorsement of whitewashing, audi both those who need whitewashing and t hose who "prac tice m 11 a-s11hging like to encourage such confusion of ideas." "The wealthy man who exults in failure of justice is as bad as the so-called labor leader who clamorously strives to excite a foul class feeling on behalf of some other labor leader who is implicated in murder." "I feel that we shall ultimately have to consider the- adoption of some such scheme as that of a progressive tax on all fortunes swollen beyond healthy limits." NEW CHINESE BILL.

The bill la not intended t o modify the basic p o l l e r " « excluding Chinese laborers, but, according t o Mr. Den by, is an attempt t o find a compromise, which shall harmonize differences with China, It permits Chinese residents of thia country to go and come at will under proper regulation in regard to return certificates, etc. It r e p e a l r t h e provision of existing law permitting Chinese laborers to leave the United States and subsequently Teturfc ^inly in oaee they have wives or families or debts due to them in the Untted States and which limits their right of return to one year. It admits Chinese applicants for the writ of habeas corpus .to batr— a privilege now denied them. *i am an innocent man. You are sentencing me to a living grave. I only hope that I may live to see those who have, wronged me in the grave of death." So spoke Tinner Jackson when he was sentenced by Judge C. S. Johnson, of Skagway, Alaska, several months ago, to t e n / y e a r s for manslaughter. On the same day recently, President Roosevelt pardoned Jackson and Judge Johnson died. Whether this may be taken as an evidence of the man's innocence or merely a singular coincidence the reader may tudjce. The Prison Fire. Spontaneous combustion among shavings in a bin on the first floor of the three-story shop of the Michigan Wagon Co., at the state prison caused a fire which completely ruined the building and destroyed the machinery. The fire was discovered by a pedestrian outside, who turned in an alarm and the city department was at the gates before the prison authorities knew of the blaze. Meantime a Slower which carried the shavings to the bin fanned the flames so that they had spread throughout the building and the firemen had no chance to cave the structure. The loss to the state Is $25,000 on the building, and to the Michigan Wagon Co., $16,000 on machinery and materials. The plant employed 35 men.

At Hoscotrecase the exhumation of the dead is being carried on by soldiers, who, owing to the advanced state of decomposition of the corpses tire unable to work more than an hour at a time. The work is' one of great financial cost as well as of danger anvl> arduousness to t'hose engaged in it. Many of the bodies are merely shapeless, unrecognizable masses of flesh and bones, while others are but little disfigured. As quickly as possible they are burled in quick lime, to lessen as far as may be the danger of epidemic. None but those engaged in the work of recovering the corpses are permitted in the vicinity.

Women and children who toll in the 'actories and stores of Michigan should not be required" to work more than nine hours a day, in the opinion of State I^abor Commissioner Malcolm J. •_M,cLgod. In 'the preface of_his annual report which is being prepared Mr. McI>^od makes this recommendation. "An amendment to the state law which will shorten the hours of work for women and children, so that em ploye* of this class may not be comlulled to work more than 54 hours In any dne week, has my sympathy and aarneef. recommendation. This wouldW Include women and girls who work In stores, who are now often obliged to work for 12 to 15 hours each day." In discussing child labor, the comgeneral revision have been twice rejected. Twice revision was authorized and each time the revision was rejectad by the people, and once a resolution to revise waa authorized, but the vote was so small that nothing further was done. The official returns are not all In yet , but so far as received they Indicate a pretty strong sentiment for revision this year in every section of the state. uiiasioner says that parents and guardians who will send their children of a lender age to the factory or workshop for the' pittance they may earn will nor scruple to make false affidavit as to their age. He adds that there should t)t> either a transcript of the record of ainh, the church records or some other documentary evidence required by law. Mr. McLeod also recommends that ihe factory Inspection law be amended to require factory managers and operators to report within 24 hours with all :hua any accident wherein an employe is so injured that he is disabled and pre vented from working. "Publicity would not prevent all accidents," the commissioner says, "but it would cause diligence, and with the reports the department could Investigate these acclionts, determine the cause and prevent A repetition."

They were—routed—from—their—beds, blindfolded and subjected to picturesque hair-cutting. Horses Cremated. Twenty-eight horses were burned to leath in a fire which destroyed Henry Sprick's livery stable in Grand Rapids. One of the animals was a pacer valued at $500. One horse escaped. N'early all of the equipment was also destroyed by the fire, which started in the rear barn among the horses ! and it Is believed that some one went to sleep there. Henry Spick, proprietor, is one of Michigun*s best known horsemen and has a state reputation. His loss is $0,000, without insurance, leaving- him practically broke. fr*#y *jff"'' i The School Moneys. Is there a scheme to denosit the 18.000,000 due from the railroads under the tax decision, In the custody of i riumber of pet state banks, instead y( either depositing it in proportions in the banks in various counties, or paying it over at once io the various school boards? That the money will not go at once to the school boards is the fear of Senator Doherty, of Claire, and Rep. William J. Galbraith, of Houghton. Mr. Galbraith is the author of the equalization bill which was passed by the last legislature, and also of the bill reducing the tax commission to three members. He is regarded among the members of the legislature as an authority in taxation and tax law. There has been news-paper talk that the money might not be turned over. "The law and the constitution con- .eniplate' the immediate payment of :hat money to the varidus school i twards or the state at once. The proposition to divert any part of this ira* mease sum of money to the normal schools would prove most unpopular, because the ordinary Michigan citizen is more jealous of the school fund than of any other, and this is right. "The money should be paid out at auce. There is always a danger when great sum of money to be it will go to a few fav- „ _ — _ various localities, inflfcsfti of feme distributed in the banks throughout the state. The law intends that the money be distributed at once. The school board* are the custodians, and they need-the money. Any other sourse will be extremely unpopular."

There is a strong probability that the penalties to be paid by the railroads for failure to pay their taxeu will be placed in the general fund of :he state, if the railroads are finally compelled to pay the prescribed penalty of 1 per cent a month. The penalties due amount to nearly a million and a quarter dollars, and the receipt :>f this sum by the general fund will have a tendency to reduce state taxation another year. Thrifty People. The "flying rollers" now own 800 acres of fine farming land around Benson Harbor, and some 600 acres Is covered with magnificent peach orchards. Their methods of work are such that, if they desired, they could at an> time control the market on a lower basis. Dne check for $855.50 was received by ;hem last- season for one day's picking from a single farm of ten acres. Escaped Death. Fire was discovered under the iouse occupied by L.

Cooking school teachers—this includes "teachers" who have appliedTto us for a weekly pay if they would say "something nice" about Grape-Nuts and Postum, and when we have declined to hire them to Ho this they get waspyltnd show - their true colors. Thi3 also includes "demonstrators" and "lecturers" sent out by a certain Sanitarium to sell foods made there, and these people instructed by the small-be-whiskered doctor—the head of the institution— to tell these prevarications (you can speak the stronger word if you like). This same little doctor conducts a small magazine in which there is a department of "answers to correspondents," many of the questions as well as the answers being written by the aforesaid doctor. In this column some time ago appeared the statement: "No, we cannot recommend the use of THIRD PASTURE. Now we some to a frisky lot, the "Labor Union" editors. You know down in Texas a "weed called "Loco" Is sometimes eaten by a steer and produces a derangement of the brain that makes the steer "batty" or crazy. Many of these editors are "Locoed" from hate of anyone who will not instantly obey the "demands" of a labor union, and it is the universal habit of such writers to go straight into a system of personal vilification, manufacturing anjj sort of falsehood through which to vent their spleen. We assert that the common citizen has a right to live and breathe air without asking permission of the labor trust and this has brought down on us the hate of these editors. When they go far enough with their libels, is it harsh for us to get judgment against them and have our lawyers watch for a chance toattaeh money due them_ from others? (For they are usually irresponsible.) Keep your eye out for the "Locoed" editor. Urape-iNuta for it Is nothing but bread with glucose poured over it." Right then he showed his badge as a member of the tribe ofj Ananias. He may have been a member for some time before, and so he has caused these ^lecturers" to descend Into the ways of the tribe wherever they go. When the young lady in New York put the "iron on" to this "teacher" and branded her right we sent $10.00 to the girl for her pluck and bravery. SECOND PASTURE. Editors of "Trade" papers known aa grocers' papers. Remember, we don't put the brand on all. by any means. Only those that require it. These members of the tribe have demanded that we carry advertising in their papers and when we do not consider it advisable they institute a campaign of vituperation and slander, printing from time to time manufactured slurs on Postum or Grape- Nuts. When they go far enough we set our legal force at work and hale them to the judge to answer. If the pace has been hot enough to throw some of these "cattle" over on their backs, feet tied and "bellowing," do you think we should be blamed? They gambol around with tails held high and jump stiff legged with a very "cocky" air while they have full range, but when the ro^e is thrown over them "it's different." Should we untie them because they bleat soft and low? Or should we put the iron on, so that people wilt know the brand? - Let's keep them in this pasture, anyhow. Now let all these choice specimens take notice: We will deposit one thousand or fifty thousand dollars to be covered by a like amount from them.or any one of them, and if there was ever one ounce of old' bread or any other ingredient different than our selected wheat and barley with a little salt and yeast used in the making of Grape-Nuts, we. will lose the money. Our pure food factories are open at all times to visitors, and thousands pass through each month, inspecting every department and every process. Our factories are so clean that one could, with znnr\ rpiish, pnt a meal from the floors.— the milk to the bottom of the dish. Then this milk charged with Post Sugar is fed to the infants producing the most tatter factory results, for the baby has food that it can digest quickly and wjll go oft to sleep well fed and contented. When baby gets two or three months old it is the custom of some mothers lo_ allow the Grape-Nuts to soak In the milk a little longer and-become mushy, whereupon a little of the food can be fed in addition to the milk containing the washed off sugar. It is by no means manufactured for a baby food, but these facts are stated as an illustration of a perfectly digestible food. It furnishes the energy and strength for the great athletes, it is in common use by physicians in their own families and among their patients, and can be seen on the table of every first-class college in the land. We quote from the London Lancet analysis as follows: "The basis of nomenclature of this preparation is evidently an American pleasantry, since 'Grape-Nuts' is derived solely from cereals. The preparatory process undoubtedly converts the food constituents into a much more digestible condition than in the raw cereal. This if? Q T i d Q n t f > 0 " l h o r o t n n r | f f t h l ^ w l u h l l . ity of the preparation, no less than one^ /The workpeople, both men and women, are of the highest grade in the state of Michigan, and according to the state labor reports, are the highest paid liy the state for similar work. Let us tell you exactly what you will see when you inspect the manufacture of Grape-Nuts. You will find tremendous elevators containing the choicest wheat and barley possible to buy. These grains are carried through long conveyers to grinding mills, and there converted into flour. Then the machines make selection of the proper quantities of this flour in the proper proportion and these parts are blended into a general flour which passes over to the big dough mixing machines, there water, salt and a little yeast are added and the dough kneaded the proper length of time. Remember that previous to the barley having been ground it was passed through about one hundred, hours of soaking in water, then placed on warm floors and slightly sprouted, developing the diastase in the barley, which changes the starch in the grain into a form of sugar. Now after we have passed it into dough and it has been kneaded long enough, it is moulded by machinery into loaves about 18 inches long and 5 or 6 inches in diameter, it is put into this shape for convenience in second cooking. These great loaves are sliced by machinery and the slices placed on wire trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great steel trucks, and rolled into the secondaryovens. each perhaps 75 or 80 feet long. There the "food is subjected to a long low heat and the starch which has not been heretofore transformed is turned into a form of sugar generally known as Post Sugar, it can be seen glistening on the granules of Grape-Nuts if held toward the light, and this sugar is not pouren over or put on the food as these prevari^ cators ignorantly assert. On the contrary the sugar exudes from the interior of each little granule during the process of manufacture, and reminds one of the little white particles of sugar that come out on the end of a hickory log after it has been sawed off and allowed to stand for a length of time. This Post Sugar is the most digestible food known for human use. It is so perfect in its adaptability that mothers with very young infants will pour a little warm milk over two or three spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, thus washing thesugaroff from the granules and carrying it with half of it being soluble In cold water. The soluble part contains chiefly dextrin and no starch. In appearance 'Grape- Nuts' resembles fried bread-crumbs. The grains are brown and crisp, with a pleasant taste not unlike slightly burnt malt According to our analysis the following is the composition of 'Grape-Nuts:' Moisture, 6.02 percent; mineral matter, 2.01 per cent; fat, 1.60 per cent; proteida, 15.00 per centrsoluble carbohydrates* etc., 49.40 per cent; and unaltered carbohydrates (insoluble), 25.97 per cent. The features worthy of note in this analysis are the excellent proportion of proteld, mineral matters, and soluble carbohydates per cent. T he mineral matter was rich in phosphoric acid. 'Grape- Nuts' is described as a brain and nerve food, whatever that may be. Our analysis, at any rate, shows that it is a nutrltivA nf a high nrriprr since it contains the constituents of a complete food in very satisfactory and rich proportion and in an easily assimilable state." An analysis made by the Canadian Government soma time ago shows that u rape-Nuts contains nearly ten times the digestible elements contained in ordinary cereals, ind foods, and nearly twice the amount contained in any other food analyzed. The analysis is familiar to practically every successful physician in America and London. We print this statement in order that the public may know the exact facts upon which we stake our honor and will Back it with any amount of money that any person or corporation will put up. We propose to follow some of these choice specimens of the tribe of Ananias. When you hear a cooking school teacher or any other person assert that either Postum or Grape-Nuts are made of any other ingredients than those printed on the packages and as we say they are made, send us the name and address, also name of two or three witnesses, and if the evidence is clear enough to get a judgment we will right that wrong quickly. Our business has always been conducted on as high a grade of human intelligence as we are capable of, and we propose to clear the deck of these prevaricators and liars whenever and wherever they can be found. Attention is again called to the general and broad invitation to visitors to go through our works, where they will be shown the most minute process and device in order that they may understand how pure and clean and wholesome Grape-Nuts and Postum are. There is an old saying among business men that there is some chance to train a fool, but there is no room for a liar, for you never can tell where you are, and we hereby serve notice on all the members of this ancient tribe of Ananias that they may follow their calling in other lines, but when they put forth their lies about Grape-Nuts and Postum, we propose to give them an opportunity to answer to the proper authorities. The New York girl wisety said that if a person would lie about one item, it brands the whole discourse as absolutely unreliable. -r^,-.~...

We had not thought it a place of much interest but came to the conclusion that a visit to Detroit would be incomplete without a tour of the immense laboratories of Parke, Davis & Co., where pharmaceutical prep • arHtions of all kinds are made on a vast scale, including the modem serum* or antitoxins, vaccines, and other agents used by physicians iu the treatment of the sick. The plaru fronts upon the Detroit river and covers uu area of nearly 20 acres. The buildings are substantial brick structures, well equipped for the purposes for which they were designed, and so conveniently located 'that goods are not handled unnecessarily in trausfering them from one department to another. Starting at one end of the plant, at the crude drug loft, the materials are gradually transported from department to department until they reach the shipping department at the other end of the route as inlshed preparations, ready fur the consumer. TJie biological work is one of the most interesting features of the whole establishment. In a splendid tire-proof structure, standing directly on the edge of the river, are the Departments of Experimental Medicine and the Biological Department. The latter was established many years ago, j Parke, Davis & COT being among the very tirst American manufacturers to take up the matter of antitoxin production. The entire plant is equipped with the You feel the life givincr current the minute you take it.

Considering that the men belonging to the tire brigade are workmen in the factory this was a very short time.

A s be finally passed beyend the enr'a ptcketB . and f e l t ' safe, his ^toognfe began to turn once more towards Lyndhurst. He wondered whether the old darky wRb bis snail-moving mule could have arrived and delivered the note Major Warden had so kindly written conz e r o i n g bis fate. . If jso, how would she receive it? Colonel John wanted to be magnanimous, but he was deeply interested »e*e, and he never in his tife wished s o much for anything as a chance to witness what occurred when that note w a s delivered. It would possibly settle some little n a t t e r s fa his mind, which- were be- ^ginning to worry him. And thinking thus, he reached the -sate' that opened into the spacious grtfcinds of Lyndhurst. Then the house loomed up. Lights could still be seen about the Bouse, thbugh the hour was close on t o midnight. He wondered at this, for they retired early as,a usual thing, Upon entering "the house John" felt a deep satisfaction over his escape. Somehow he seemed to associate it -with Mollie—why not, when she was the prime cause of his adventure? He advanced to the library; a voice feJH upon his ears, a voice that was peculiar, and which be knew belonged , *o the odd genius of a darky who had rtriven the mule by means of which s-i' ossifer he smoke urn cigar jest as cool as a cucumber/', returned the ebony messenger, showing his ivories. She wrung her hands in distress. "It is too late then. He has before now suffered the extreme penalty of the court-martial. If I had only known of it in time I would have saved him, even as he did me from the burning house. Oh! I shall never forget the clasp of his strong arm as be bore me out of the flames. I awoke then to a knowledge of the fact that I no longer hated him as formerly,"— — Sweet words to the man who stood at the door and strained his hearing to catch what she said. He saw her press a small kerchief to her eyes—she was weeping for him. Ye gods! how It thrilled John Ridgeway— he had never before felt the influence of the divine spark, and as is natural, when a man reaches the age of thirty without having given any time to love matters, then the shock when it comes has an irresistible force. Then her frame seemed shaken wffh emotion, and the tears could be seen glistening Jn her eyes as she turned to the negro. "Do you really believe they—hung htm, Pomp?" she asked, with a tremor in her voice. "I specks dey did, missy. Da: was a look on de majah's face dat mean business.

Chronicle •ays: "Our language's triqk of decapitating words, as in 'but, 'phone, and 'wig* is not at all a modern falling. Take the common w<.rds 'spend' and 'sport.'

He squeezed the little hand, while his eyes eloquently declared the burning language his dumb lips dared not speak, for there was *ho'clause in that contract prohibiting the language of the soul. Then he dropped her hand. "Good night—God bless you, my dear girl. I shall hope, yes, more, I will believe that when this cruel war is over, and the North and South are again united as of old, you will not deny me the privilege of calling you by that blessed name of—wife. I shall say no more—good night." She was gone, and Colonel John, left alone in the library, paced up and down for half an hour wrapped in thought, and judging from the smile upon his face, he must have had pleasant cogitations. Then he went out to give more positive orders to the men on guard, having an idea that the venomous Major Worden might make still another attempt to unhorse him. Morning came without further adventure, and with it a sudden order from headquarters calling for Colonel John's presence. He was not even given a chance to see Mollie again, but looking back as pborical sense of pleasure or amusement precisely as 'divert' and 'transport! " . Toast Bsttsr Than Bread. Toast is better as an article of diet than ordinary bread, says Health, for the simple reason that it is bettei cooked, and, therefore, more easily digested. The toasting destroys the life of the yeast and eliminates some of the harmful products of yeast fermentation, and the action of the heat converts the starch into a more digestible substance.

I put it in de linin' ob my hat. Shore could disclose his presence without ceived instructions to get his command in readiness for immediate action. Already a relief detachment had gone forward to assume the guardianship of Lyndhurst, and John would thus have all that was left of his command. Upon leaving Atlanta their course was almost directly northwest, through the rugged defiles of the great chain of mountains that guards the border line between the three states, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. Few knew whither they were go ing. Sherman kept his secret well. Atnong the officers, however, the facts were .known. In his march from Chattanooga to Atlanta the Federal general had been compelled to fight almost every foot of the way. Tu accomplish .this, indeed, to recura Resolvent, two treatments in all, I am now well and completely cured. A thousand thanks to Cuticura.

"He.done said so, missy." "Who gave it to you?" unfolding it. "De majah wid de curly mustache and de fierce eyes wat make a tremble come up from old Pomp's shoes." Her eyes were fixed upon the page. Colonel John moved, a step nearer, and, unobserved by either, stood in the doorway, his gaze fastened upon the face of the Southern girl, his wife by the fortune of war. It *was as though he exuected to read his fate there. Over her usually composed features there shot a sudden look of alarm, of • even horror, as she read Worden's message. "Cr.n it be 3J6*Bible they have done this terrible thing? Why. I saw him here only a few hours ago, alive and well. At eleven—it is now half past. And Worden has done this—he expects to win my esteem by such an act. Colonel John was an enemy to »my country! "but an honorable foe." To m e he was a friend. Oh! I 'cannot believe this—it is a dream. He cannqt be dead—that would he too cruel. I have seen a cousin and a brother ico to battle never to return, and now th*» same fate overtakes this— friend."

"So, you are alive after all—was this a trick on your part to unmask my feelings? It would be contemptible if true," she flashed. "What you say is quite just. As it happens I have just escaped from your friends, leaving them In the old house with some wounds to care for and an empty noose on their hands. Hence, you see I don't merit your sarcasm.", She looked into his face eagerly as If desirous of reading the truth. "Can it be possible—you would not deceive me?" "Why should I? See, my six-shooter is empty—upon my wrists notice the marks where the cord cut into my flesh, and here we have the burn that Inevitably followed when I applied the fire of my cigar to my bonds at the last minute. To clinch the matter you have the major's message." "It, is true. I am glad you escaped, John Ridgeway," averting her eyes. "Is that all, Mollie?"' advancing another step. "Why, what more can I say?" trembling. He picked up her kerchief. "This is moist—1 saw you c r y - tears shed for rae|. Ah, Mollie, 1 dare not say more-rt&at oath pfevents my making advances—they must come f r o s yon. I pra$ you let no false modesty stand in the way to wreck our I lives.' I main even at Atlanta for months it j was necessary that his line of com- I munica'tion with Chattanooga ^remain j intact. Of i-ourse. once Atlanta fell, the Confederates saw the chance to reduce the,ir victorious enemy, and for the time their energies were devoted to the task of cutting of his line of comm u n i t i o n s . If this could be done,, Sherman would-be in a serious condition indeed. There promised to be some lively times on the scenes of former desperate battles. Coionel John and his regiment had been ordered to join the column about to move back to the relief of the brave general who had been left among the mountains of Georgia to guard Altoona Pass, a point of immense value to Sherman in keeping up communications with his base of supplies at Chattanooga. —Messages had been received from General Corse, messages that told of overwhelming foes against which he and his little command were holding out with a bravery born of desperation. So abrupt was their departure, owing to the need of haste, that Colonel John was not given a chance to have another interview with the girl whom the'fortune of war had made his wife. He sent her a message, however, just as they were leaving the city. The march was one of haste. Should Altoona Pass be taken by the enemy, much of Sherman's hard work must be done over again. That meant desperate fighting, climbing the granite-faced hills in the midst of a deadly fire, of awful handto- hand fights—all this and more if brave Corse had been compelled to surrender before Sherman arrived to succor him. There were not many obstacles ID the way. (To be continued.) cura Remedies. John T. Roach. Richmondale, Ross Co., Ohio,. July 17, 1905." UNI P ^ — Attraction of Light. Recent discoveries indicate that moths do not fly about candles out of mere curiosity, but simply because there is an Irresistible power compelling them to come to the flame. This force is called heliotropism, and is exactly the same attraction that makes flowars turn toward the sun. The blind earthworm, because of its well-known tendency to crawl away from the light, is s^id to have negative heliotropism. The stronger the source of light, the greater is the attraction of repulsion. FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE Pink Pills.

A lady tells of a bad case of coffee poisoning and tells it in a way so simple and straightforward that literary skill could not improve it. "I had neuralgic headaches for 12 years,"' she says, "and bave suffered untold agony. When I first began to have them I weighed 140 pounds, but they brought me down to 110. I went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief. So I suffered on, till one day in 1904, a woman doctor told me to drink Postum Food Coffee. She said 1 looked like I was coffee poisoned. ' "So I began to drink Postum and I gained 15 pounds in the first few weeks and am still gaining, but not so fast as at first. My headache began to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks—long enough I expect to get the coffee poison out of my Bystem. "Now that a few months have passed since I began to use Postum Food Coffee, I can gladly say that I never know what a neuralgic headache is like any more, and it was nothi n g but Postum that cured me.

Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkbam, a t Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened^ read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will She asks nothing in our good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands.

If you are ill. don't hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetable Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pinkham. Lynn. Mass., for special advice. When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health so many women, you cannot well say, without trying it, " I do not. believe it will help me." "Organ With Three Barrels. The parish church at Tobbing, England, which dates back to the thirteenth century. sfnd waft recently restored, possesses a remarkable ancient instrument, a barrel organ which has three barrels and can play thirty-six tunes. It is turned by the usual handle. To stuff a goose with prunes will seem a rather startling Innovation to conservative housekeepers, yet the combination Is distinctly pleasing and has much more to recommend it than its novelty. It is no more difficult to prepare than the usual bread and onion stuffing, and requires only those ingredients which are. at hand in almost every home storeroom. Before the goose is drawn, It should be very thoroughly scrubbed on the outside, using a brush and eoap suds. Rinse it well and wipe dry. Singe it before washing. Then draw it, wash the Inside, and wipe dry. For the stuffing cook one-quarter pound ot choice prunes (which have soaked over night) in boiling water t o cover until partially cooked. Cookpne cup of wellwashed rice In four cups of rapidly (boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain, and add to the rice the strained prune juice, to which has been added sufficient water to make three cups. Add salt to taste, and cook the rice in this liquor until almost done. The prunes should be stoned and cut into rather small pieces; mix them wijh one-quarter pound of shelled and blanched almonds which have been chopped moderately small, and onehalf cupful of melted butter. Season rather highly with salt, paprika and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly with the rice and fill the goose with the mixture; truss it neatly, and place on the rack in the dripping-pan. The oven should be very hot at first to brown the goose richly, then reduce the heat, and baste frequently. Dredge the bird lightly with flour after each basting the last half hour it is cooking. It should be cooked until the joints "wilt separate ^asHy.~ If it browns deeply co\er with paper. Serve with apple sauce, baked or tried apples, and brown gravy.—Country Gentleman. ?J EW LINEN PETTICr OATS. A Novelty I s Heavy Undressed Linen Trimmed with Bands of Heavy .Lace on the Circular Ruffle. PMfwgft, 111—ThA PflsnpngPr T V p i r t . ment of the Chicago & North Western Railway announces that the opening of the Wind River or Shoshone Reservation public lands In Wyoming nas been postponed until August 15, 1906, by joint resolution of congress. Railroad construction to the Reservation border is being pushed rapidly, and will probably be completed within a few weeks. Now that silk skirts are not considered the top notch of elegance as they once were, the white ones are made in the most splendid designs for evening and many novelties are introduced for those worn on the street. For instance, for the latter heavy undressed linen is used with a deep circular ruffle intersected with bands of heavy lace and finished with a twoinch edge of lace. "~ Blind People as Gas Consumers. "When it comes to consuming gas in large quantities blind people take the lead," said an inspector of the gas company. "I know two families where both husband and wife are blind. Every jet is turned on full tilt in their homes at night and is kept going at that rate clear up to 12 o'clock. And that partiality for light is not a whini peculiar t o those two couples. All blind people feel that way. They demand the, light and in all private homes^ and institutions where the blind are cared for the gas bills vouch Tor. this strange fancy."— New York Sun. Spanish Sunday Laws. In Spain drug stores are permitted to sell drugs all day on Sunday, but to deal in perfumery on that day is unlawful. Candy cannot lawfully be sold later than XI o'clock in the forenoon unless no clerks or assistants are employed. Proprietors may keep open all day if they do the work themselves. . ,,• Hie Orlfllnai Idea.

The fancy ones are made of fine Paris muslin with two ruffles of lace at hem and a 20-inch ruffle put on full, ^ut into sharp points, which are edged with full ruffles of three-inch lace. These are the very prettiest skirts used for dancing. They are cut to the ankle. Other elaborate pettitcoats have a panel down the front of all-over embroidery with tiny tucks at the side and three ruffles of the embroidery edged with lace from knees to hem. The fashion of putting the initials in embroidery on each garment is very much adopted and I forgot to add that another novelty is to put a tiny pocket on the breast of the nightgown on which the monogram is embroidered.— Anne Rittenhonse. Aid to Swimmers. A new float in the form of a tubs, hree yards long, is inflated by tha swimmer and wound around his body. At each end is a tube which is stopped up with a plug, and a leather strap, which serves to fasten the float to the body. It is wound around the waist, then the neck, ' and. finally around the arms. Got Chummy. Henry St. George Tucker, president of the Ja.nestown exhibition, told a congressional committee about his audience with King Edward. He said he and the king had a very pleasant talk.

The danger of dullness," he. goes on to fiay, in a learned and interesting way, "is the danger of complacently lingering among stupid and conventional ideas, and losing all the bright interchange of the larger world. The dull people are not, as a role, the simple people—they are generally provided with a narrow and self-sufficient code; they are often entirely self-aatifled, and apt to disapprove of everything that is lively, romantic and vigorous. Simplicity, as a rule, is either a natural gift, or else can be attained only by people of strong critical powers, who will, firmly, and vigorously, test, examine and weigh motives, and arrive through experience at a direct and natural method of dealing with men and circumstances. True simplicity is not an inherited .poverty of spirit; it is rather like the poverty of one who has deliberately discarded what is hampering, vexatious and unnecessary, and has learned that the art of life consisi3ts in disentangling the spirit from* all conventional claims in living by trained Impulse and fine instinct, rather than by tradition and author ity. I do not say that the dull people are not probably in a way the happier people; I suppose that anything that leads'to self-satisfaction i3, in a sense, a cause of happiness; but it is not a species of happiness that people ought to pursue. Perhaps one ought not to use the word dullness, because it may be misunderstood. The kind of dullness of a high degree, not only by practical, but even of mental ability. I know several people of very great intellectual people who are models of dullness. Their memories are loaded with what is no doubt very valuable information, and their conclusions are of the weightiest character; but they have no vivid perception, no alertness, they are not open to new ideas, they never say an interesting or a suggestive thing; their presence is a load on the spirits of a lively party, their very facial expression is a rebuke to all light-mindedness and triviality. Sometimes these people are silent, and then to be in their presence is like being in a thick mist; SIDE GLANCES IN MICHIGAN THOSE PETITIONS FOR A PLACE ON THE STATE TICKET. THE DEMOCRATS EITHER IGNORE THE LAW OR OFFICERS ARE VERY DILATORY. THE MATTER OF GOOD ROADS IS UP AGAINST SOME HARD SNAGS JUST NOW. The Primary Election. Enthusiastic Democrats who want to get Ferris' name at the head of the ticket next fall have iroryenpcpresaetltheir enthusiasm in any official recognition of the requirements of the law. A search of the secretary of state's office fails to reveal any trace of a petition for placing Ferris' name on the Democratic primary ballot for governor, nor the name of anybody else, for that matter. The simple method, adopted by Gov. Warner's friends, ot circulating petitions at the polls April 2 has already brought in many thousands more signatures than the required number. The governor needs something less than 6,000 petitioners. He will have near to 40,000, a very respectable portion of the 40 per cent of the enrolled vote necessary to nominate him. Just how many 40 per cent of the enrolled voters will be is still a mystery, for only, one-fifth of the certified copies of enroljed party voters have been received. T h e estimated percentage of the Republicans who -enrolled runs all the way from 50 to 75 per cent. It is clear, at least, that a large percentage of The party has been disfranchised as far as the nominations are concerned. And unless these certified copies get into the secretary of state's hands within the next 15 days, thousands of those who are enrolled are liable to some embariassment by the negligence of local officials. MICHIGAN IN BRIEF. Pontiac's bank deposits have doubled in the last five years. George Townsend, aged 70 years, tor 23 years supervisor of Brv ce township, is dead at Romeo. Edmiinde Starke, of Caro, is the new agricultural superintendent of the Mt. Clemens sugar factory, y The nomination of L. II. Bishop as postmaster at Grand Rapids has been confirmed by the senate. Mrs. George Gilford, of Battle Creek, was so seriously burned in a gasoline stove explosion that she died. Last season's ice scale has been adopted in Saginaw, the price being $1.75 for 20 pounds of ice a day. The 2-year-old daughter of George D. Bigelow, of Flint, fell down a Might of stairs while at play, and died in an hour. John G. Havens has been appointed postmaster at Mullet Lake, Cheboygan county, vice C. H. Hbuser, resigned. William C. Durant has given to his daughter as a wedding present $100,- 000 of stock in" the TJufahT-TJort ""Carriage Co. The Logan Cement Co., of Fonton, which closed about a year ago, is preparing to start again. Detroit men &ro interested. James R. Ryan, of the Soo. will form a stock company for the manufacture of the folding storm canopy which he invented. Amateur burglars entered the hardware store of S. T. Gray, at Lapeer, carrying away a number of cheap watches^ and revolvers. After not being able to speak above a whisper for six years from a stroke of paralysis. Ira Bowman, of Pine Run, finds his speech has been restored. Charles Jewel and Percy Thomas, of Pontiac, were seriously Injured when the load of hay on which they were riding upset because of a broken axle. State Highways. N o w it is (he state highway department that has gone up against the constitution of '1S5(>. When Eearle and the good roads enthusiasts secured the creation of their department and some auxiliary laws in the last legislature— after a constitutional amendment, by the way—they thought the rest woul.l be easy sailing. But since the present ticatiou of a highway department and the construction of good roads under Its supervision, more amendments wilr be necessary before the highway department can fulfill the functions for which it was created. In order to prevent reactionary supervisors from obstructing the good roads .movement, one of the Earle enactments made it mandatory on every board of supervisors to submit to the people of their county, on-the petition of 10 freeholders in each township, the proposition of adopting the county road system. in several instances this procedure has followed. But' it. has recently been discovered that the constitution requires a two-thirds vote of the supervisors in just such cases as this. Some embarrassing legal questions may arise as a result, but wherever the roads have been laid even the constitution cannot tear them up. It is thought that popular opinion will devise means for obviating the difficulty, but it is not likely that the law can stand a test in the courts, which test any man opposed is at, liberty to bring. A large gang of men is trying to round up the last one of the herd of elk which escaped a week ago from the Hill game preserve at Forest lake, near Pontiac. ' _ Pastor F.

While a joke was being read to her from the humorous columns of a newspaper. Mrs. John Klair, aged 55 years, of Ann Arbor, laughed and* died from heart disease. Because he was huffed at his son, Robert Caihcart, an eccentric -farmer, cut him off with $1 and left his farm and $40t) of personal property to Mercy hospital in Bay City. The Masons of Davisburg have organized a Masonic Temple association to erect a building, .lohn Smith, .lay Tlndall and Frank CI. Ely have been named as the trustees. THE SITUATION NOW IN SAN FRANCISCO IS APPALLING. AMID THE RUINS PESTILENCE MAY COME TO ADD MORE SUFFERING AND DEATH. UNDAUNTED COURAGE SHOWN AMID THE SCENES OF DISTRESS AND RUIN. Sketches of the Calamity. Pestilence and cold add to the horrors in San Francisco. "Impossible to establish proper sanitary conditions," wires Gen. Funsion. Thirtr-ftve-ghotils have been shot by the soldiers. One case is reported where citizens hanged a robber to a telegraph pole. The stricken persons already plan to erect a Greater San Fianclsco. Bankers declare they will open their Institutions "even if we have to occupy tents." Scores of babies have died of exposure in the camps of the refugees, and half a dozen have been born there. Rolla V. Wall, manager of the Royal and Queen Insurance Co., says the property loss will reach $200,000,000, but admits it may go as high as $500,- 000.000. It Is reported that sickness is breaking out among the refugees, and extraordinary military strictness is being enforced. Number of lives lost is at least 1.500. Property loss is from $:^00,000.000 la $^)0,000,000 At. least 300,000 are iu want and many in hospitals. Relief fund from country will reach $30,000,000. Shiploads of food arrive and u&nger of hunger is past. Sanitary conditions cause much apprehension. Destitute thousands cheerful despite calamity. Oakland has temporarily taken the place of San Francisco as ihe metropolis of the Pacific coast. In the face«-of the enormous loss and the complete wiping out of the commercial life of the empire city of the Pacific coast, the leaders of trade and commerce are cheerful and confident that all will be well in the end. The governor, the bank commissioner, the architects, the insurance officers and the representatives of many of Hularge enterprises are now in the city arranging offices and clearing the way precedented in history. Uncounted thousands are sending their contributions utfd 'the'grafld total will probably never he known. '~ ***I<t From London, Paris, Berlin and wherever* Awfrtcans, are congregated a generous Inflow of gold is reported. Wholly foreign contributions while deeply a p p r e c i a t e ^ a^e .not JL« be accepted, apcordingTfrtWs precedent established by the president in declining a gift of $25,000 from a German steamship line. America, though touched by the evidences 'of foreign generosity, feels, able to care for IU own. y The president, after conference with Secretary Taft and Senator Allison, asked congress for an additional ¢1,- 500,000 for San Francisco sufferers. The president sent a message to congress embodying the request. He refers to the fire as "a catastrophe more appalling than any other of the kind that has befallen any portion of our country during its history." He further says that very generous offers made by individuals of other countries have been refused, as there is no need of outside assistance. The president will later on ask congress'to act a generous part In meeting the more permanent heed's of the situation, includrn^ rebuilding the great governmental structures which have been destroyed. Pay the Whole Amount. The Grand Trunk Railroad Co. has paid the auditor-general ,$777,734.:!!», which includes the balance of the overdue taxes with the penalty of 1 pei" cent per month. Other companies art; expected to follow the example of the Grand Trunk and the Grand Rapids & Indiana. The Michigan Central has so far neglected to comply with the order of the railroad commissroner to reduce its rate of fare on the Detroit- Bay City. Jackson-Ray City and Grand River vallev divisions. House Passes Free Alcohol. The denatured alcohol bill passed the house 222 to 7. By the terms of the bill vegetable alcohol, which Is now subjected to the same revenue a3 whisky, for the reason that it can be used as a beverage, is permitted to be manufactured, free, providing It is "denatured" or rendered unfit to drink. This alcohol will drive gasoline from the- market for use as fuel in vapor engines. , White Caps Threat. . Mrs. Emma Lusk, of Eckford township, has received a note from "white, caps" declaring that if she allows a certain family to move into her tenant house they will set lire to the building. The message reads: "Keep this letter to yourself and property is &al'e; if this letter gets out, look oui for smoke." Mrs. !,usk has issued au open letter telling what she thinks of such mean people, but the family indicate 1 aren't doing any .moving. for the smooth adjustment of affairs that will lighten the heavy hand of disaster that has leveled everything in common ruin. The tremendous and almost hopeless task has been begun of trying to reunite scattered families, of gettin.:; trace of lost ones, of determining whether the missing are dead or still safe somewhere in the great and tangled mass of stricken refugees that spreads itself over all the country through a thousand highways on this side of the bay and in San Mateo county, south of San Francisco. The great fire has practically burned itself out. With little more to feed on,- the devouring element, twin sister fo the earthquake, has finally succumbed to the persistent efforts of the army of Californians; and daybreak gave the stricken people of this wreck of a c i t v the first chance they have had to survey the scene since the first rumblings early on Wednesday morning gave warning of the approach of the direst calamity in the history of the republic. San Francisco is but a memory. It is hopeless to attempt to describe the conditions which exist, where but a few days ago a thriving city nestled on the shores of the Pacific. Every bank, every hotel, every business house, all the theaters, the municipal government buildings, the school houses, churches, libraries, art temples, newspaper offices, depots and shipping piers have been wiped out of existence as though a scourge had passed over the land. The ricb and poor- have suffered alike. Fortunes have been wiped out. The palaces of the rich, together with the hovels of the poor, have alike succumbed, and San Francisco may be likened to a broad stretch of land offering a fair site for a city which the early settlers In the days of the fortyniners beheld when the first rude hut was thrown up on the site of the metropolis of the coast. Back to that point must the people of San Francisco return. And such Is the spirit of the people that, with the smoke still lifting lazily from the ruins, as though the uemon was utterly worn out from his labors, with the bent and twisted girders—attesting to the fury of his passion—and the gaunt fragments of walls rising up as fearful monuments to a dead and gone community, they are already astir. The voiceless appeal of San Francisco has been heard throughout the civilized world.

The P r i m e of Life. The larger part, of the great fortunes of this country have been.accumulated after their amassers have pa'ised 40. In fact, writes O. S. Marden, in Success Magazine, the first 40 years of a man's life are the preparatory years, the years of training and discipline. A large part of this time he is laying the foundation—just getting ready to rear the superstructure. Many of us stumble around many years before we get into the right place, and then, for additional years, we make many mistakes. Most men do not get wise until they have passed 40. They may get knowledge before this, but not much wisdom. Wisdom is a ripening process. It takes time. At the age when Dr. Osier thinks men are becoming useless, Lincoln was trying to get an appointment as a land commissioner, and failed. At the same age nobody outside of his own little community knew Ulysses S. Grant. He had not then accomplished anything of note, and yet he became the greatest military figure of his day. Every man makes his own dead line. Some reach it at 35, some at 40, some at 50; some do not reach it at 80; some never reach it, because they never cease to grow. Dam Dynamiting. Reports from Devil's creek, Menominee county, indicate that the fierce feud between Crawford & Sons, loggers, and certain other men, which has raged there for several years, has broken out with renewed fury. Settlers alleged to have a grievance against the Crawfords have for many seasons endeavored to hamper and prevent the Crawfords from driving their logs down Devil's creek In the spring. This year Crawford & Sons posted a guard of four men, armed with Winchesters, near their largest dam. On the first night the rise of a dark lantern was seen, and the guard opened fire. In the morning traces or an attempt to dynamite were plainly visible. The guard was increased, but the attempt was repeated the second night, when more firing took place, the dynamiters defending themselves with stones and clubs. A special report trom the department of agriculture at Washington gives interesting information about food exports from the United States. Among other things it is shown that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland is one of our best customers, and that about half of its meat supply comes from America. There is not wanting proof that a great deal of the "roast beef of old England" once roamed the prairies of the United States under the lively supervision of the Yankee cowboy. Got a Wife Just the Same. James A. Wikel, aged 61 years, of Montpelier, Ind., wanted a wife and corresponded with-an Illinois -girl. The girl promised to marry him, but when they met she backed out, as he was so much older. However, she told Wikel she knew of just the right woman, and so Eliza Rogers, aged 61 years, of Sheridan township, was on Wednesday married to Wikel, who is good lookinj, pretty well off, and a wagonmaker.

The Confederate chieftain had not dreamed that Sherman, after taking Atlanta, would think of turning back to go to the assistance of his general. Tndeed, the enemy had taken all possible precautions to keep Corse from sending a messenger to his commander. '' How this had been done the men of the signal corps could doubtless tell. At any rate Sherman knew his assistance was needed, and indeed, he had figured on this beforehand, and would have sent reinforcements back even if news had not reached his ears. Again they traversed the trail marked by scenes of desperate valor on both sides—where men in gray met the furious onslaught of the legions in blue, and only gave way, slowly and sullenly, before the advance of'overwhelming numbers. How memory reviewed these scenes; they could point out the very t*pot where they were charging when a concealed battery opened upon them with its raking fire, plowing great furrows through their ranks; but it was with a thrill of proud satisfaction they also remembered that -even this - hailstorm of shot and shell failed to quench their enthusiasm, and that pushing on with Indomitable pluck, headed by Colonel John, they had carried the hill, seized the battery, and turned its guns upon their late owners. How the recolleetlon of such glorious deeds aroused the martial ardor of the men who hurried over hill and th? sudden transition from despair to delirious Joy! This, then, was the beacon of the skies that sent the hot blood bounding through their veins and gave them new courage to fight on. "Hold the fort—I am coming—Sher man!" And when the news was spread among the comparatively few whp were left of that gallant band to whom history has never done full justice, their shouts of joy carried despair to the hearts of the foenien, who had so long endeavored to carry the fort by repeated assaults, for they knew the day was lost. Inspired with the promise of Immediate relief, the Federal defenders of Altoona Pass would not yield, under any conditions. A grave danger now menaced the Confederate host—that of being caught between two fires, the upper and the nether millstone. It required considerable military skill to withdraw the Confederate host from the scene of battle without a general engagement. The eager columns of Sherman pressed on, hot--tor- battle, and ready to coop their enemies up in some pass where retreat would be entirely out of the question. Knowing the wild country full well, tho leader of the Southern army was not to be caught so easily, and had prepared means of giving his enemies the slip. All that remained now was to give Sherman as much trouble as possible and brave In faco of anger, they coulff not help loving him. No man believed he would send his men where he dared not go himself. That was the secret of their adoration. To such a leader nothing is impossible, as his men will follow though the fires and gates of Hades itself prevail against them. 80 the colonel roamed up and down the valleys, scattering the bands of Confederates that endeavored to disturb the connecting link between Sherman at Atlanta ard his base 0*. supplies. So well did he do hLs work that these supplies cauie through very regularly, and Sherman was daily adding to the immense amount of stores that would be necessary before he could cut loose and p a r c h through Georgia to the sea. Great events were about to transpire. The man must be obtuse Indeed who could not by this time read the handwriting on the wall. With Grant hammering at the door of Richmond after outmaneuvering Lee and causing him great losses in the summer campaign from the battles of the Wilderness to Cold Harbor— with Shtrman in Atlanta, gathering an army that would sweep like a besom of destruction through the fertile regions of Georgia and the Carolinas, leaving ruins in its wake—with tne resources that had hitherto upheld them, dwindling lower and lower, while their credit was utterly a thing of the past, it was evident to every thinking man that the Confederate cause was lost, even before the las* decisive campaign had been fully start' ed. Colonel John was doing his duty. He received much praise from his commander, who knew he could depend upon him, no matter what the emergency might be. In al! probability, if he cared for advancement, and lived a few months ^vftle to thp relief of the generaLaur- with rogt rounded by Johnston's army. And when in the far distance they caught the dull throbbing of heavy suns, like the pulsations of nature's heart, how eagerly they pressej on, like houuds held in the leash. Weariness was forgotten. The danger and difficulties tha!. confronted them looked Lilllput'an now. Forward! Their comrades were sorely beset and in need of assistance. Not anticipating the coming of the relief column, the Confederates were hardly in a position to lay a trap for it. They had been sorely tried in the engageply trains. While the Confederates were withdrawing from the region, there were of course numerous small ments. In many Instances detachments of rival cavalry would come into close quarters. Battle was seldom if ever refused, for on both sides they were fierce fighters, and their blood ran riotously at sight of each other. Colonel John and his command saw much of this warfare. Their business was to defend the railroad at a certain point. THE CHOICE Of PAINT. Fifty years ago a well-painted housewas a rare sight; to-day an unpointed house is rarer. If people knew the real value of paint a house In need of paint would be "scarcer than hen's teeth." There was some excuse for our forefathers. Many of them lived In houses hardly» worth preserving; they knew nothing about paint, except that it was pretty; and to get a house painted was a serious and costly job. The difference between their case and ours is that when they wanted paint it had to be made for them; whereas when we need paint we can go to the nearest good store and buy it, in any color or quality ready for use. We know, or ought to know by this time, that to let a hoiese stand unpainted is mos$ costly, while a good coat of paint, applied in season. Is the best of investments. If we put off the brief visit of the painter we shall in due time have the carpenter coming to pay us a long vl3lt at our expense. Lumber is constantly getting scarcer, dearer and poorer, while prepared paints are getting plentier, better and less expensive. It is a short-sighted plan to let the valuable lumber o l our houses go to pieces for the want of paint. For the man that needs paint there are two forms from which to choose; one is the old form, still favored by certain unprogressive painters who have not yet caught up with the times —lead and oil; the other is the readyfor- use paint found in^ every up-to-date store. The first must be mixed with oil, driers, turpentine and colors before it is ready for use; the other SOME ODD WATER WHEEL* They Are Employed in Virion* Conmtrie* to Utilise Power «f Currents. The people of Syria aad Tlflis their streams do things that Americans do not seem to have learned the secret of persuading the water courses of this country to perform/says the New York Tribune.. At Tiflls the natives have'learned how to utilize the power of the current of the River Kur without building dams. What they have accomplished possibly mighty be done by an American farmer living on the banks of a rapid moving stream and desiring a small, cheap power. The Caucasians build floats on the surface of the river. Into them are set water wheels. The whole affair is fastened to the .bank in such a way that it will rise and fall with any change in the level of the surface of the river, so that the power is about constant all the time. In Hama tne ancient "entering in of Hamath," the Syrians have accomplished a feat that makes one think of lifting one's self over a fance by tugging at one's bootstraps. _ The/ have harnessed the historic Orontes. or Nahr el Asl, as- the Syrians call It, into the work of rifting Itself many feet toward the zenith and trained it thus to water their fruitful gardens and orchards. As for size the water wheels which do this work are as to other water wheels wjiat Niagara is to other waterfalls. As one stands by one of these great wooden frames revolving upon its wooden axle and looks up at its need only be stirred up in the can! Perimeter 40 feet above one thinks it and it is ready to go on. To buy large and is astonished when he turns lead and oil, colors, etc., and mix them into a paint by hand Is, in this his gaze upstream to see that relatively it is not a great wheel, for in the Upon his Rnp.J I o n S e r = — - - — -4-^--^-- Colonel John^would bearjhein- o j a genera1. He deserved it. His heart was wholly wrapped up In the cause and he was ready to undergo any privation, to undertake any dangerous mission If by so doing he could serve his country, and hasten the happy day when the sword would be beaten into the pruning hook, and peace descend once more on his beloved but distracted country. Often h\a thoughts went out toward Mollie. He sent h*r a few lines occasionally and heard from her in return. j That she was well, sufficed. There were no terms of endearment 1 between them. I h had not come to that, i still, as he sat in his tent of an I evening, or about the bivouac fire, the j soldier many times thought of her, and the fact that alio belonged tu him— twentieth century, about the same] distance looms up one 60 feet in height as refusing to ride in a trolley car!

But even while they fought with the desperation of despair they saw distant signals against the sky. What did they mean? Was help near, or did this signify some new reinforcements for the enemy, already outnumbering them many to one? • And while they raid who can paint There were times when all seemed quiet along the line, and trains ran without any trouble, bringing immense amounts of supplies to Sherman at Atlanta. Then the enemy wo'ujd become exceedingly active, and Colonel Ridgeway and his command would have their bauds full endeavoring to ward off blows. There was much hard riding in those days. H could not be otherwise, when men were sent whirling down the varley at a minute's notice, to meet a column of Confederates deliberately engaged in tearing up the railroad. Then would come a hot little engagement, and finally the flight of the foe, after having done all the damage that was possible. Following the battle the troopeis became track layers, and the damage V7HR repaired as best could be done under the circumstances. No one sighed now for excitement. They had all they wished. Indeed, every day brought new scenes, and they had to hold themselves in readiness to meet emergencies as fast as they arose. It was quite an enigma to decide in the morning where they would find themselves when the sun sank behind tho mountains. In the midst of such danger Colonel John bore himself, as might have been expected, with his customary bravery. His men Idolized him. He was so kind and gentle to the nick and wounded, and yet so stern that she was his wife.^ave the colonej the most intense satisfaction. He saw nothing more of Major Worden. though on.ee in battle he believed h<» had a glimpse of a figure that made him tliink of his enemy. This iv.an was the only on<; who gave him cause for anxiety. Knowing that Wordfn. still entertained a pa.-sion for Mollie, he had vague tears lest in some way the Confederate r/.ajnr. siuUr.g all his gentler.); uil> traits, might endeavor to get pos.>ess.ion of the lhnter's daughter, even before ,'.e had carried out his threat to make her a colonel's widow. Thus he had certain vague fears which the receipt: of each communication from Mollie served to allay for the time being. He waited L-^atki.Jy for the time to come when Sherman would begin tearing up and destroying the railroad, thus cutting adrift from the North, and henceforth depending 011 what stores he had and what his army could secure en route. Alas! for the poor Southland. It was in tbe throes. Never did a rich country suffer more from the horrors of invasion Knowing that Sherman expected to depend in some measure upon foraging, it would be the stern duty of the Confederate army to destroy everything possible that might be of value to him. With this going on in front and Sherman leaving devastation in his rear, what .an awful trail the inarch across fair Georgia must hecom^ In war drastic treatment must be resorted to. since heroic measures are often necessary in order to save the patient's life. The surgeon removes a limb, but saves his case, whereas a little delay must have brought about mortification and death.

"All roads lead to Rome," and the paint manufacturers, starting by different paths, have all the same object—to make the best paint possible to sell for the least money, and so capture and keep the trade. There is scarcely any other article of general use on the market to-day that can be bought with anything like the assurance of getting your money's worth as-the established brands of prepared paint. The paint you buy toner graps on his heart. If you do love him u little, make, him fancy It is th* greatest honor to him. Women often cheapen themselves, and when they do men not only !cse interset, but respect too. Appeal to the Czar. Rumors have reached India through Afghanistan that the Mohammedans of the central Asian Khanates had addressed a petition to the czar through the amir of Bokhara, praying that the promises made them by the Russian government during the war might be fulfilled. The czar replied graciously, but the people were becoming impatient at the inaction of the local officials. Wrong Place. Pa Twaddles—Why are you spanking Tommy?

The destruction of property and life at Sau Francisco last week was unprecedented in history and this nation hopes it may never be repeated in this-or any other country.

This is a developement that may be reasonably look eci for, Prophet Hicks has been doing this for years without the aid of the government and has hit the weather as close aa any U.

City councils as well as fraternal organizations, churches and individuals throughout the state are contributing io the fund for the relief of the California earthquake and fire sufferers. There is scarcely a hamlet in the state that--will-not send hi somethingin the way of cash, food or clothing for the thousands of sufferers. To the thousands that will be raised In the cities of Detroit, Grand Rapids, Saginaw, Bay City, Flint, Marquette, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo -and others, rn pro iiortion, the villages will make equally liberal responses. Large sums have already gone forward and sllll larger amounts are ready with constant daily additions.' Detroit citizens have so tar responded nobly to the appeal for aid. At the mass meeting Saturday night it was announced that there has" been received by the Doaid of Commerce up to G o'clock p. m. the sum of $46,2S3.61; that $30,000 of this amount had been turned over to the treasurer of the Michigan branch of the National Red Cross society, and that it would be dispatched to the national association at once. Burglars raided six stores at Davis' burg. Prom James Baxter's clothing sieve 10 suits and several pairs of shoes were taken, the inner door of the safe was smashed and a few dollars in change was taken. A few razors and pocketknlves and 50 cents in change were taken from Downer's hardware store..The general stores of Sid Lane, W. W. Carpenter and Wm. Monroe entered, but only a few dollars in change secured In each. Mrs. L. Gandry, wfto.: conducts a millinery store and Bleep! in the store, was awakened by the presence of a burglar in her store, but was too frightened to move. After they had departed' she gave the alarm and half of the village .armed themselves with all sorts of weapons, but the search for th« burglars was without success. Sheriff Zimmerman, of Flint, was notified and with Patrolman Green and two dep utles came to Davison ou a handcar. Chisels and hammers taken from a wagon shop were u*ail In entering the buildings. 5$* i - ij'. m. White's Prophesy;-'—~ Seventh Day Adventist families that for months have hesitated to accept 'Mother" White's mandatory advice to leave Battle Creek before the wrath of God caused its destruction, are giving the words of the "prophetess" more consideration since San Francisco's disaster. Mrs. White prophesied that Oakland, Cal., would be destroyed •by an earthquake, with fire. That San Francisco, instead of Oakland, was the victim, makes little difference to the followers of the "prophetess," who say, "It is fulfilled." Fire at Fife Lake. The entire west half of the village of Fife I^afte was destroyed by fire this morning. Fourteen buildings, including the Fife Lake house and barn, were destroyed.

A few nights ago an old resident was attacked, beaten and robbed. This condition of things is largely attributable to the fact that last spring i what is known as the big R. M. Kellogg strawberry plant farm hired several pf the better class of "wearies" in order to get out their immense supply of plants. This fact having been generally advertised among them has brought them here in big numbers, anticipating a warm job and a good time for a few weeks. Little Girl's Obstinate Case of Eeiema —Mother 8ays: "Cuticura Remedies a Household Standby." "Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician, for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost Instantaneous relief afforied that we discarded the physician's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills, When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. Wc find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable housebold standby, living as we do, twelve miles from a doctor, and where it costs from twenty to twenty-five dollars to come up on the mountain.

The swallowing cf a fork as a means of committing suicide is one of the strangest cases quoted in the annual report of the Stone Lunatic Asylum. Some of the reticles swallowed by lunatics would certainly tax the convenient digestion of an ostrich. They included: Nails, matches, coins, spoons, pebbles, glass, cinders, beads, studs, needles, scissors, small plyers, pins, pieces of brass, earth, coal, buttons, hairpins, spectacles, button hooks and wood. in most cases a timely discovery led to proper treatment and recovery. In the stomach of a dead man ten revolver cartridges, a number of tacks, and two needles were found.—London Mail. New Ideas About r-rmlnj. Nothing can contribute more to the advancement of agriculture than the eradication of the old, stupid notion that farming Is a mere physical drudgery and to be despised, and the inculcation of the truth that farming is a scientific pursuit entitled to as much respect and consideration as any other occupation when there is devoted to ft the amount of scientific knowledge and Intelligent judgment and discrimination to which the business is entitled. To the extent that the farmer boy and farmer girl of Minnesota learn to look with pride upon this occupation in that degree is the business of farming benefited and success assured.— Minneapolis Journal. John Milton's Domestic Life. John Milton was not great in the character of either husband or father. His first wife was disgusted with his gloomy home and soon ran away from him.

Taylor and Isaac Wood were also on 'duly. Shortly after midnight the fugitives drove into town from the west and were first seen and shot at when about opposite the Hotel Wavcrly, One man jumped from the buggy and ran south, and it is supposed he was wounded, as marks of blood were lound. The others ran into the implement store of Brown, Sehler & McKay and were caught and jailed. Ail trace of the third Sand Lake burglar who made hi3 escape from the battle with officers at Lowell was lost when he was traced by .blood stains ;.!ong the Pere Marquette tracks as far as ElrtfrJale Friday.. Officers have :t arched the'southern part of Kent .li'irt Ionia counties and the northern parts of Barry, Uaton and Allegan' counties without result.' That the man was badly wounded is shown by the tact that clotted blood was found :i'.ong the track.

There has been laid tare a Tanlt sanctuary held In high repute for several centuries before the Christian era. Beside many sculptures, a cellar has been found, containing, among such rubbish as bones nnd charred charcoal fragments, more than 6,000 Punic ex-votos, 3,000 Carthaginian lamps and 300 vases, inclosing coins and statuettes, carved and painted with fine artistic feeling ana technical skill.

The individual woman, taken separately, may be a capable and useful ^member of society, says a writer, but to find seven or eight who will act Intelligently in concert seems wellnigh impossible, and the masculine verdict that a womans committee generally resolves itself into a talk, temper, tears and tea, although brutal, is not, after all, so very wide of the mark. DODDS ' ; K I D N E Y & . P U L S •• TWfW CH«re4 Iof RSheou * ma tMi em bAy the NJebk * • With the life of telephone and telegraph poles at - its present limit, the 800,006 miles of existing lines, requiring 32,000,000 poles, must be renewed approximately four times before tree*, suitable to take their place can grow. A pole lasts in service about 12 years, on the average, but is made from a tree about CO years old. In other words, to maintain a continuous supply nye times as many trees must be growing in the forest as there are poles in use. The severity of this drain upon forest resources by the telephone and telegraph companies is obvious enough. Just as in the case of railroad ties, the question of pole supply has thrust itself into prominence. To lengthen the life of pole3, and in this way to moderate demand and conserve future supplies, has become an important matter, affecting the public as well as private interests. Since 1902 the forest service has been making a thorough study of the preservation treatment of poles and of the value of the seasoning in relation to treatment. In this work its first object has been, as in its studies of crossties and construction timbers, to make the timber last as long as possible, so as to check the annual demand for renewal and thus lessen so far as possible the drain upon the forest. Cooperating with telephone and telegraph companies, railroads, lumber companies, and Individuals, it ha3 foiwmd a seiles of experiments covering all phases of the problem, from the question of the best season for cutting, through subsequent stages of handling, to the final setting of the pole. Some of the most important results obtained deal with seasoning. Seasoning was studied in the .ii-st place to determine the rate at which poles become air dry, that is, lose as much moisture as they will part with through evaporation in the open air. The time of cutting was also carefully considered. Experiment proved that poles cut in winter dry more regularly man those cut at other seasons., and : io show a greater loss in moisture at ihe end of six months' seasoning. The advantages of winter cutting are, therefore, even drying, with a minimum liability to check, and light weight—an obvious advantage for shipment bv freight. Spring or sum . Simple Remedies Popular. The uae of simple herbs as remedies instead of the more concentrated and usually more dangerous inorganic medicines has been revived very widely of late. In Germany a new school of physicians has arisen, which throws out almost the whole of the pharmacopeia and relit* on an adaptation of the methods of wild animals in curing themselves. Somewhat similar systems haye arisen in large numbers in America, and they are daily adding to their adherents. WORKING WOMEN —m»aw I --¾ Their Hard Struggle Made Easier—Interesting Statement* by a Young Lady in Beaton and One in Nashville, Tenn. m'er cutting secures a more rapid loss of moi3ture at- first, owing to the temperature, but only for three of four months. At the end of from six to eight months spring and summer cat poles are found to have dried only three-quarters as much uas winter-cut poles. The second point to bo determined was the degree of shrinkage fn circumference during air seasoning. This was found to be very slight, averaging but little over 0.5 per cent, at the butt and 0.G per cent, at the top. The rapid shrinkage of wood does not begin until the percentage of moisture is reduced lower than is possible in thp case of telephone and telegraph poles in out-of-door seasoning. The effect of soaking in water upon the rate of seasoning was the third of the problems dealt with. The experiments substantiate the common opinion that poles soaked from two to four weeks subsequently season at a materially increased rate. Finally, it was found that checking in- the course of seasoning is not serious when poles have been carefully cut. Rapid-grown timber, however, when so carelessly cut as to leavfe jagged ends, was found to split badly at the butt and a.t the top. This is doubtless merely the widening of cracks started when the stick partially broke on instead of being cut clear through. &? « ^ H ; t •wi- i\ - ROW STANDS ERECT iM ••yitk'fFotttwahra y—tt I inffcrad irith Rfaetaaaiam.

E. Z. Gross, the mayor of Harrisburg, was condemning the fees and unfair perquisites which swell unduly the salaries of many unimportant officeholders. "Fees and perquisites," he said, "tend to cause unjust dealings. Even in the kitchen this is so. "A butcher told me the other day that a young woman, the cook in a prominent family hereabouts, came into his shop and said: " 'Gimme a fine large roast o' beef with plenty o' bones.' "'Plenty of bones?' said the butcher In amazement. " 'Yes,' answered the young woman. •Bones is my perquisite.'"—Milwaukee Sentinel. Regiment's Severe Test.

All women work; some in their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing1 treadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject t o the same physical laws; all Buffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, tumors, Ulceration, falling and displacements or perhaps irregularity or suppression, causing backache, nervousness, irritability and lassitude. They especially require an invigorating, sustaining medicine which will -strengthen the female drgahlsnr^gn ! enable them to bear easily the fatigues J of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful. How distressing to see a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or perform her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female organism.

There IB a class of lnv«3towr>^o ao take close r.nd intelligent/ account of the conditions of a.,market, and whose fixed plan Is to watch for advantageous moments In which to buy or sell. It is impossible, says Alexander D. Noyes, in Atlantic, to lay down rales for a policy in which success depends so largely on possession of a sort of- financial Instinct. Neither would It be useful or wise to suggest *-hat times should be chosen for such purposes by people engaged in speculating on a "margin" with borrowed money. With such adventurers, the accident of an hour may offset the soundest reasoning adopted with a view to basic conditions. The bonafide investort however, wiU do well to keep his eye always on the rate for money in the Wall street market; because, while the rise or fall in ratea makes no difference to bis own capacity— to invest, it may --make-aHthe difference in the world to the mass of speculators on borrowed money. If, for instance, stocks are advancing rapidly, and the rate for money simultaneously rising to high figures, if is a disadvantageous market in which tc buy. The action of the money rat bears witness to the fact that reserves of loanable capital have been strained to bring stocks to the high prevailing figures—which usually means that before long some of the speculators must let go their hold through inability to command further resources — which brings about readjustment of .prices. This conclusion Is so obvious that itwould hardly need to be repeated, but for the fact that those are the very occasions when conviction that prices are going to a far higher level usually •seizes on Wall street, It is much to the interest of professional speculators to create such an impression. It they allow the contrary view to prevail, whom would they find to pay high prices for the stocks which they , themselves are forced to sell ? THS STATE UNIVERSITY REGENTS* POWER IS QUESTIONED. CONTROL OF EXPENDITURES CLAIMED BY AUDITORGENERAL. HALF A MILLION TO BE ASKED OF LEGISLATURE FOR NEW BUILDINGS NEEDED. Regenti and Auditor Cllaastlh . According to the manner in which the books of the state of Michigan are kept, it is a question between the auditor- general and the board of regents of the university whether the auditor of - t-he-etate has a right to pass upon the accounts of the university as he does upon those of all, other institutions, or whether that institution is above regulation of its expenditures. Officers of the auditor-general's departmentsay that theTnandamus proceedings which the regents have begun is a friendly legal proceeding to determine that point. The position taken by the authorities of the university is that as the regents are elected by the people no other state official has any power over them as to what they shall do with the funds of the university. Several vouchers are for the traveling expenses of Prof. Pattengill in attending meetings outside the state at which the question of college athletics was being considered. In one case a law professor had attended a law convention at Narragansett Pier. The autiitor- general has refused to allow similar vouchers from other state institutions and has assumed that he has the MICHIGAN IN BRIEF. Conforming to the Law. Rev. Mr. Par knit rst, of New York, hts been writing of the decay of positive authority, whereat the Chicago Tribune says it is the other way about; that with all allowance for the rules that are broken the average man of - *• to-day obeys more positive injunctions than his ancestors were compelled to observe in the days of the heaviest tyranny. It adds: "A man cannot build a house upon his own land without complying with the ordinances of the city, and hardly without obeying the dictation of a number of trades unions. He must adopt the sanitary conveniences which eeem best to the same auditing power in connection with university accounts. The position he takes is that if traveling expenses for the university president and professors for trips outside the state may be allowed, there is no reason why such trips should be confined to the United States and that if the board | of regents may pay tho expenses of professors while visiting Philadelphia and Chicago for th£ instruction of the students they may, by the same rule, extend the trip to foreign countries. Six of the eight regents of the Uni | versity of Michigan have expressed I themselves as unqualifiedly in accord i with the position taken by President James B. Angell, as enunciated by him ] at Bay City when he stated that the j legislature would probably be request - i ed at its next session to appropriate ' half a million dollars for new buildi ings and the remodeling of the old j ones at Ann Arbor, and to make provision for retaining professors of high Rouses are at a premium in Constantino. , '• Saginaw has a colony of foxes and squirrels.

The president elected is Patrick Haakerd, Jackson; vice-president, G. W. Merrill, Hamburg; secretary, E. N, Ball, Hamburg; treasurer, E. W. Van Fleet, Evart; state organizer, George G. Winans, Lakeland. M. W. Tubbs, the national secretary, states that the sole purpose of the society Is to control the markets for farm products, fixing annually a minimum price for all products grown, below which farmers must not sell.. He argues that if farmers will positively refuse to sell below the minimum fixed by the society, the markets ca,n, be controlled. When buyers refuse to pay the price it will be Because there Is a surplus. If certain products then pile up on the farmers they must grow less of them and more of others. To show that the plans of the society are not mere theories, he points to the tobacco growers. The 1903 crop sold fjor $3.50 per hundred.

Th< Michigan Central Railway Co. has PS*d Its taxes, and with the exception of the Pere Marquette, every largo railroad company in the staid has made , settlement wit* ttte WtffW^eneral, so that the state treasury is overflowing with money. Wednesday a wpreseatutlve of the Michigan Central Co. paid ,to the auditor-general $1,140,803.21, which sum covers the takes of that company for the years 1902, 1903 and 1904, with the penalties as provided by law of 1 per cent a month on all delinquent taxes. *• The company's tux for the yea/ &905, amounting to upwards of,$800,000, has been provUpa* for and will be paid at once, the tttjf amount of the company's taxes penalties being over $1,900,000. ,_;.:;; The Lake Shore Co. claims lrregs>; larlties with reference to the notice received regarding the taxes of 1902, and has withheld payment of taxes for that year tor the present. The company several days ago paid its .taxes for 1905, and today it paid $253,575.22 for the taxes of 1903 and $21,750.90 for 1904, both rums including the penalties provided for by the statute. As to the 1902 assessment, it claimed that notice of the assess was not received unliL May__22, that the state cannot collect the alty for the non-payment of the tax for the months of May and June. It will be remembered that on account of the first assessment for that year having been declared, invalid by the supreme court, a new assessment wa3 made by the court's order, and the delay made it Impossible to notify the company of the amount of its second assessment within the time specified by law. The company is apparently willing to pay the tax for tho year. The legal question involved is being looked up by the attorney-general and by the.company's officials, but in case the company's contention is found to be correct it will amount toless than $4,000.

The great city which but a brief time since was known tiie world over as the "second Paris," so wide was its reputation for gaiety and pleasure-seeking, has settled into the quietest of communities, in Ihich the populatkm is not seen abroad after the first hour of darkness. While the most rigid patrol system is maintained everywhere, the people are free to come and go as they please. But as there are no more places of recreation to attract them, few venture abroad at night. The influx of sightseers is adding to the work of the authorities and to the discomfort of those still living in San Francisco. Thousands of these people crowd the ferry boats, block the few open streets with all sorts of useless vehicles and seriously interfere with those engaged in relief work. - - Among the ruins of many family hotels and in the ashes of pawnshops relic hunters gathered trinkets and unset jewels.

The suffering in San Francisco, Saturday, following the heavy rain, was intense among the thousands of home* less, penniless persons still camped in Golden Gate park, the city's public squares and vacant lots. Water leaked through the improvised tents and many were driven into nearby homes for shelter. Although the various camps were better prepared for the storm than for several days past, hundreds of tents having been put up since the previous storm, there are thousands who are without proper shelter and who shivered in their wet clothes, vainly trying to get warm by walking after the raia ceased or by huddling around little camp fires. Many tents have been provided at Jefferson square since the last rain, where several thousand are camped. A few who were not adequately sheltered were taken into the large automobile garages in the vicinity and to the Lutheran church. Several thousand tents are en route, and it is expected that within a few days fully 150,000 refugees will be comfortably housed.

We have heard something of the Panama railroad and also of the Vera Cruz-Pacific railway, which affords communication between the two coast lines. Perhaps not so much is kaowaof the new national railway built acsoss the Isthmus of Tehuantepec by a combination of American capital and the Mexican government A report from Special Agent Pepper to the consular department says: "As it exists to-day the Tehuantepec National railway is an unusually good work of railroad construction and seems capable of sustaining all the freight traffic that can be obtained tor i t The road Is standard gauge of fotyr feet eight and one-half Inches. For th<> clayey soli there is rock ballast and- gravel. The ties are creosoted pine, California redwood and native hardwood. Eightypound steel rails are employed. The best steel bridges with solid masonry and abutments are utilized wherever a river is to be crossed, and this is especially important on account of the tor* rential rains in the wet season. The locomotives and rolling stock are of the best equipment. With this sol'd construction there seems to be no question about the railroad standing whatever strain may be put upon It." Thus it appears, says the Indianapolis News, that the old line across the isthmus at Tehuantepec has been rebuilt and modernized.

Qiittee, announced to the citizens' committee thai he had been given to understand by Secretary of Commerce Victor H. Metcalf, the representative of President Roosevelt, that only $300,000 of the $2,500,000 appropriated by congress for the relief of San Francisco was available, and. that this sum represented the extent of financial assistance that might be expected from, that source. Mr. Phelan announced to the full committee today that Secretary of War Taft had transmitted to his order $300,000. which, he said, was the firsr recognition the secretary had made ot' the relief work, and added that he had been informed by Mr. Metcalf that the secretary of war had expended the remainder of the relief fund for the purchase of supplies in the east. Secretary Metcalf corroborated Mr. Phelan's statement. Mr. Phelan then said that there was only $3IS,000 available cash to his order at the mint. and the strictest economy would be necessary. "We need money," said Mr. Phelan. "and the country should not be led into the belief that millions ^are on hand to relieve the destitute people."!

The Bank Vaults Secure. AH of San Francisco's 44 banks, i>2 commercial and 12 savings, were located within the burned district. Inspec tlon has revealed the fact that the vaults in every instance have remaiu intact, but with two or three excep-1 tions the fine bank buildinks were de- i stroyed.

' The money on hand in the ^2 com-1 mercial banks at the time was $16,-j 551,454, while the savings banks have coin in hand to the amount of $3,98$.- 804.

The seeds should be selected from ripe pods and well washed in water, then placed on a rough towel and gently rubbed in order to remove most of the pulp, taking care not to damage the skin. The seeds are next placed in a current of cool air for 24 hours. The packing material is composed of equal parts of vegetable mold and finely ground or pounded charcoal, moistened just enough to resemble earth taken out of a shaded place. If the packing material is too wet. the sesds will rot, and if not moist enough the seeds will absorb all the water and perish. A tin box eight by four by four will hold about 200 seeds if packed as follows: Place a layer of earth and charcoal about threefourths of an inch deep on the bottom of the tin box and lay the seeds in rows, leaving a little space between each. Spread another layer of the charcoal and earth, then another layer of rows of seeds, and so-on until the box is full. Packing a slip of material across when the lid fits will help to keep the moisture in. When wetting the charcoal and earth. it is a "wise precaution to" do it 12 hours before being wanted, as this gives the water time to permeate the whole mass evenly. Fifteen-Ton Piece of Coral.

When ti.e boundry between Michigan and Wi?cnn:!n was drawn, the surveyors were evidently in a bit of a hurry, for it now turns out that some 250,000 acres of land supposed to have been included in Michigan's acerage are beyond it and belonging nowhere. The territory in dispute is big enough to form a fair sized province in Russia, and more than one bloody war has been fought in Europe to conquer a strip of land smaller than the "derelict territory" of Michigan.

It "was a glorious morning when •Colonel John received orders from headquarters that the last train laden with stores had safely reached Atlanta, and giving him explicit orders t o destroy the road utterly as he hastened to join Sherman by a certain time. His men caught the enthusiasm of the hour. They had fought desperately to defend the road so long as it was useful to Sherman, and now that he desired to prevent it being U3ed by the enemy at any future time they would be just as ready to destroy. The orders went forth. Fires began to arise. Every building connected with tho station was in flames. Men tore up the traces and twisted the rails. The reign of destruction had begun, that was not to end until their eyes rested on the blue sea. The tables had been turned. It was for the Confederates to endeavor to defend the road, but they were not present in numbers to do this with much hope of success. While he thus burned and destroyed, the cavalry colonel made his way southeast, intending to join Sherman s.t Atlanta. There were foes between, however, foe.s that had gathered from time to tinie until they made a formidable aggregate. When the true state of affairs became known to these men. their leaders set a trap in the hope that Colonel John and his command would fall into it. They counted without their host, tor the federal colonel anticipated some others had crawled to more exposed positions where they might have a chance to pick i sharpshooter off, and sprawled there they had the appearance of human pancakes. The Confederates did not seem In any great haste to make the assault. Perhaps they were waiting to concentrate their forces. Colonel John feared there might be some way known to them, a secret path by means of which they might get around his little fort and spring a surprise upon their rear. He endeavored to prevent this to the best of his ability. It was after noon when word was finally passedjriong theJin.es that the enemy had begun to make a general advance. Up to this time there had been few spasmodic movements on the part of the detatched bodies, designed no doubt, simply to aggravate the Federals and keep theiij^ttentk.i from another Quarter. Colonel Ridgeway knew what was coming now, and encouraged his brave fellows to render a good account of themselves. The silence was at length broken by the discharge of a gun far upon the right. It was the signal. Along the line of entrenchments ran a zigzag fire and the rattle of guus almost continuous. While the first rank fell back io reload, the second pushed forward and took their places! Evidently the affair was to be decided hand to hand, and no one could foretell the result. Every moment Colonel John had hopes of hearing the encouraging cries that would proclaim the coming of reinforcements from Sherman, but. unless they come very soon it would be too late, since his handful of men passed, and any excitement might prove fatal. The legions in blue marched away, and the sound of their drums and fifes had hardly died out before the streets swarmed with the veterans of Johnston, Hood being tip In Tennessee, eager to see those thoy loved, to discover what damage had been done during the occupation. So Colonel John became a prisoner again. When he regained his consciousness, his case had improved somewhat. With careful nursing he might live in apite of the severe shock his system had received. Of course the wounded soldier thought of Mollle. Ood knew he needed her assistance while his life hung thus in the balance. But how should be let her know? A Confederate officer walking through the sickroom stopped at John's cot, and looking up the wounded Federal beheld his cousin. Crockett Ridgeway no longer scowled as his eyes fell upon the face of the man toward whom he had entertained sucE a "hostile feeling; "Come, I had no Idea you w^re here, cousin. I'm sorry to see it, and at the same time glad of a chance to ask your pardon for the share I had In that ugly business." Jokn looked surprised—the other laughed in a hearty way. "You think the heavens will fall next, since I've turned saint. Well, the truth of the matter is I've learned recently that you acted very generously toward my poor old mother up in Louisville a year or so ago. Never knew of it before, on my honor. It made me ashamed of myself, and I swore to turn over a new leaf. Let me squeeze your well hand, cousin. Tell me. is there anything I can do for you?" "Where is the major?" asked John, whose only source of uneasiness lay CURLING FEATHERS. (The Work Is Done fay Hand—Hoar Borne Are Built Up—About Farming. Col. John Was Down. such movement, and was constantly on the watch. The city was within a day's ride, and Colonel John already anticipated a short period of happiness at .seeing Mollie ere the army started oa its long eastern march. Little was to be done in this quarter, for the road had already been destroyed by parties from Atlanta pushing out a certain distance. In the city itself all was activity; cotton and stores that could not be taken'along were being daily burned; buildings of a public character were blown up. all railroad property destroyed, and save for the private houses of the citizens, the once fair Gate City of the South had become a heap of ruins. It was in the morning that Colonel John and his command came upon the foe. Seeing the Confederates were, in force, the Federal leader ordered a charge, and away the cavalrymen went, pell-mell. At once the greatest^TOKfusion ensued. Unable to force a way 'Cbrough. and with no gftod opportunity for a flank movement, the Federals were hurled hack. As a last resource they^ occupied some old entrenchments l&ng since deserted, and dismounting awaited the coming of the foe. Ridgeway knew the sounds of battle would reach Sherman in Atlanta, and that sooner'or' later if he could only hold his own a column woulo be sent to his relief. Crouching behind the breastworks they awaited the assault of the foe. It was indeed a sight to look upon the superb disdain with which these veteran fighters awaited the coming of their enemies. Some were sitting close together laughing and joking in a quiet way— in this quarter. "You mean Worden—I helped give him a soldier's burial. He was in that mad. dare-devil assault which came so near demoralizing the Federal line. In his glorious death he wiped out any follies of which he may have been guilty while living. Peace to his ashes." "Amend!" said John, relieved to know this fiaebrand was removed from his path, and yet ready to recognize the bravery of the hot-blooded Southern warrior—his mad devotion toward Mollie had swerved him from the path of an honorable gentleman, but John could forgive now. Now that he was rid of this anxiety Colonel John had only to do his best to get well. There was a dearth of nurses in the hospital. Southern girls had enough to.do to Curling ir. always done by'hand. Taking a small steel Instrument like a blunt knife, the operator carefully takes each, frond of the feather and skilfully presses It with a finger and thumb against the Instrument until the rib curls out in a graceful bow. Patience and care make, or otherwise mar, the ostrich feather at this stage of Its existence. Another branch of the business is the "manufacture** of ostrich feather* The best bits of the smaller varieties are taken in hand by skilled female operators, who cut and trim them up carefully, and then fix the bits together upon a stock with needle ana thread until a perfect looking feather is made. Ostrich feather boas are made on this principle from the finest small feathers. In the early days of ostrich farming great fortunes were made. Feathers were then worth £100 per PQUJUL_ tM_ _ "plumes of a single bird often realizing £20 to £30. For a good pair of breeding birds it was no uncommon thing tc pay as much as £500. But none ol jthese prices could be got now. From seven to eight guineas a pound Is the jusual price at the present time for fine ostrich feathers. The mourning plumes 'used by undertakers are of the largest variety, and sometimes cost as much as £300 A set. A NICE LITTLE FROCK.

Thus it happened that those of the Federal sick who were in a precarious position, hovering between life and death as it were, found themselves in a measure neglected. Colonel John took a downward course—fever set in, and the old surgeon in making his round shook his head and said: "We'll have a vacancy here soon.

This was only one of numerous small battles which history had recorded merely In the aggregate as a series of engagements around Atlanta, in which many men were lost on both sides, and little savs glory won. Fortune favored the Federals in this case, for when everything looked the blackest the column from Sherman came upon the scene. Then the tables were turned. It was the Confederates now who sought safety in flight, leaving many, of their heroic dead and wounded in and around the breastworks, for the possession of which they had fought so long." Colonel John was down. In the last stirring encounter he had fallen, while leading his men into the thick of the fight. They carried him to the city. Here in the hospital he was taken In charge by experienced surgeone, and when all had been done that was possible they pronoujaW their verdict. Colonel John, had sighting chance for h:s life. That was all. To move him at that stage would be madness, since it must result in iiisjle&ili, This meant that whether the colonel got well or not depended upon the enemy, since he must be left to their tender mercies. Thus there came a day when the Federal forces rode or marched out of the city and headed in an easterly direction. Those who knew and loved Colonel John had gone to the hospital to bid him adieu. He was in a deep sleep at the time and the surgeon would not arouse him, for the crisis in his condition had Just A Gentle Nurse. Even surgeons may at times be mistaken, for they cannot foretell outside events that are sure to have a bearing on the case. For instance, this grizzled army veteran could rot know that in less than ten minutes after he gave his doleful verdict a young woman should enter the old church used as a hospital and inquire for .Colonel John, declaring it her intention to nurse him. Crockett Ridgeway had carried the news. It was no Northern nurse, but a lady well known in Atlanta fate, threw off the fever and came into his right mind again. Then a cool hand pressed 4iis brow, and he looked up into the face of Mollie. The Corselet Skirt. A great many corselet skirts are seen at present.

Besides, her action in coming to him Tiadnabue away \vTthit provfslons. He would know his fate on the morrow. So Colonel John decided one night after she had made him comfortable and left him.

A few years ago while she was employed in the mills she was suddenly seized with dizziness and great weakness. " I was so weak at times," she says, "that I could hardly stand, and my head because so dizzy that it seemed as if the floor was moving around. " My condition at lattt became so bad that I was obliged to give up work in the mill, and later still I beeam^ BO feebly that I eould not even attend to me household duties. After the slightest exertion I had to lie down aud rest until I regained strength. "A.friend who had used Dr. WiTriams' Pink Pills for Pale People urged me to try them.

My blood was so bad that blood poisoning had set in. I had several doctors attending me, to finally I went to tbe hospital where I- was laid up for two months. My foot and ankle were almost beyond recognition. Dark blood flowed out of wounds in many places and I was BO disheartened that I thought surely my last chance was slowly leaving me. As the foot did not improve,' you can readily Imagine how I felt. I was simply disgusted and tired of life. 1 stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six/months, and during this time I was 'not able to wear a shoe and not able to work. Some one spoke to me about Cuticura. The consequences were I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies of one of my friends who was a druggist, and the praise that 1 gave after the second application is beyond description; it seemed a miracle for the Cuticura Remedies took effect immediately. I washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before applying the Ointment and I took the Resolvent at the same time. After two weeks' treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness and who have seen It since the cure, can hardly believe their own eyes. Robert Schoenhauer, Newburg, N. Y. August 21, 1905." MADE A POOR ADVERTISEMENT.

Just why, in a country in which th« vast majority of judges are elected by popular rote, there should be expressed in law such a superstitious ter. ror lest a judge should give any expression of his own personality is puzzling in the extreme. In many states, writes George W. Alger, in Atlantic, and particularly in those in which A firm and vigorous administration of justice is of urgent Importance, the judge who presides at a criminal trial is not permitted by law to be a judge in any real or vital sense. He must not comment on the evidence, he must not review the facto and set them in coherent order before the jury, he must not sift the testimony and separate the material from the Immaterial, in Florida, his wife being an invalid, he must, above all things, refrain from' and Mr. Taylor went for his family expressing in any wise a personal opinion on anything from the start of the trial to its close. He must deal out abstract rules of law, and leave the jury to their own devices with such blind guidance in endeavoring to apply that law to the facts. If he see3 them swayed by misleading eloquence, he must not set them in the path of reason for justice's sake. He is a pilot who must not touch the wheel. The vigorous, commanding figure of the English judge is by law excluded from the great majority of our criminal courts. The summary of facts in the charge which, for example, Justice Bingham gave a few years ago to an -gagllsh jury in the sensational cag£ua£ • * • ' - : * rfM*- Whittnker Wright, the great swind ling promoter, would have meant an inevitable reversal and new trial for "error" in any lynch law state in this country. Defects of Criminal Law. There are two reasons why criminal law reform is a pressing problem today. One Is the repression by that reform of lynch law. The other is not less important. We need that reform says an Atlantic writer, because the social condition of our day Imperatively demands a substantial increase in the scope and power of criminal law, a system strong enough to meet the new and increasing requirements of our cilvilization for corrective and repressive criminal law. A system too complicated to deal out certain Justice to common offenders, ignorant and brutal, poor in purse and influence, can never adequately deal with our new class of big business criminals, with the men who get rich by fraud, the corporation lnflaters and wreckers, the faithless trustees and grafting directors, the exploiters of municipalities, the magnates who give bribes and the bosses who take them, the trust operators who sin against honesty in business, who break the law against monopolies, who give and take forbidden rebates. How can predatory wealth, powerful, influential, often intrenched in office, be punished by a system which creaks, groans, and often breaks down, in bringing a border ruffian to justice? BRINGING A COLORED MAID TO MICHIGAN MAY CAUSE ANNOYANCE. AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE Aged Man Convicted of Murder Sent Up For Life and Will Join His Accomplice in Jackson Prison. Kidnaping Charged. Rev. F. M. Taylor, of the First Methodist church, South Haven, is accused of "kidnaping" a 15-year-old colored girl from a family in St. Petersburg, Fla. A letter has been received by Mayor Abell In which the writer says that the girl must be returned at once or trouble will follow. Rev. Mr. Taylor's family '"spenT the winter and returned with them, also bringing a colored girl as maid. Mr. Taylor says the girl Is an orphan ' and lived with people who abused her so that twice she tried to kill herself. People of St. Petersburg learned of the case and raised mcraey to help her escape, but feared the man with whom she lived would follow her. Mr. Taylor was consulted and agreed to bring the girl north if her fare were paid. Just as the train was about to pull out the girl dropped a pall in which she was carrying milk and dashed for the train. She i3 entirely satisfied here and threatens to"' take her own life if sent back. The Cawsey Murder. The jury in the ca3e of Geo. Smithy =ea,tri*4=4er- mwde^ 4n^ tire Hillsdale circuit court, returned a verdict of guilty. Smith was charged with being an accomplice with Walter Knox in the murder of the nightwatchman ©f the screen works and in burning the factory December 4, 1903. Knox was convicted at the last term of court and Smith, sentenced for life, now goes to keep him company in Jackson prison. Smith is 71 years old. ....Ttoty.Caught, Him. William *£«U«tte,-Alia* John Chase, alia*-Frank Rice, "well known to officers throughout Lapeer county, was" arrested at Smith's Corners Wednesday night by Port Huron offlcers^Lapeer officers had been after him, but he, eluded them by hiding in an puthouse" at pan Butter's when the officers were searching the house. Pellette 'then went to Smith's Corners and gained admission to the. howe by representing himself as Deputy Elliott, of Lapeer, saying that he was after a man. The officers were too hot on his trail, however, and surprised him. He is wanted for burglary and officers have been on the lookout for him for two years. it Was Horrible. Mrs. George See, of Pontiac. has received a letter from her sister, Miss Kittle Barnes, a nurse in the Agnews asylum, where over 100 lives were lost, near S^n Jose, Cal. She writes: "J saw a man who insulted a helpless woman ordered by soldiers, to dig his own grave at. the point of a bayonet, and after being ^hot was UrO.-n^ tntn thP now made grave. At the asylum 10S patients, two doctors und eight nurses were crushed to death and 1,000 insane are sleeping on the ground. 1 lost every stitch of clothing and am wearing apparel belonging to patients. The weather is so warm and as we were unable to extricate some bodies for three days they had commenced to decompose' before they could be burled." Miss Barnes was born and educaicl in Pontiac and went about six years ago to the Philippine islands to nurse, but later returned to the Agnews asylum. Intellect in Sex. The common impression that the average man is superior to the average woman inteilecually at least in originality, inventiveness, reasoning power and the like is beyond doubt due to the common habit of judging each sex by it3 most superior representatives. This seems fair enough, and would be fair enough, says a writer in the Bookman, but for the difference between the sexes in variability, that is, the range of spreading down from and up the average, in intellectual traits at least the male sex is the more variable group; the very highest and very lowest marks in a mixed college class will commonly be given to men; the variability found among boys in the numerous mental tests which have been given by psychological invest! gators is from five to ten per cent, greater than that found among girls. Of the thousand most eminent intel lects of history 97 per cent, are men. the variability which causes the monopoly of genius causing also the ex istence of twice as many male as female idiots! Pritchard to Marquette. It was a sad farewell which James Pritchard bade to his family in Flint Thursday morning just before he started to Marquette, where he must serve ten years for assaulting Miss Hazel Pettis". His father, George Pritchard, who came from Chatham, Ont., for the trial, has been seized with brain fever, and the son was permitted to go to his bedside to say good-bye. But the most pathetic scene was that between James and his faithful sister, Miss May Pritchard. She has visited him daily at. the jail since Christmas, taking him his dinner eachday, and counseling with him. Each night she refused to leave him at the jail until he had knelt in prayer. She has urged him to be blameless in his conduct in prison so that he may reasonably expect that his sentence will be commuted. Decently dressed always and cheerful in manner, John S. Robinson, of San Francisco, veteran of the Mexican war and formerly a millionaire, allowed none of his friends to know for two years that ho was living on his pension of $12 a month and had no ,>ther resources. But finally he had to give up the struggle and now ha is dying in St. Luke's hospital, surrounded, too late, with every possible com- Xert Wreck Injures Five Men. Pere Marquette freight train, No. 234, in charge of Conductor Hill, of Muskegon, broke in two three miles Bouth of Rothbury Wednesday night, jolting the last two cars together and severely injuring five persons. M. Jorgenson, roadmaster of the Muskegon division, was taken to Montague on the engine, and may -die, having suffered internal injuries. The others injured were: Conductor Hill, of Muskegon, shoulders, head and face hurt; M. Coleman, brakeman, badly bruised; Luther Sage, Muskegon, right leg injured, and T. Mellie, of Mancelona, spine believed to be injured. The Big Tunnel, The annual meeting of the r,tcc-;> holders of the Detroit River Tunnel Co., the Michigan Central subsidiary corporation which is to build the double-barreled tunnel under the river, was held at the Central's general Detroit offices Thursday and a loan of not to exceed $15,000,000 was authorized. The contract for rebuilding the $W,- 000 south wing of the Northern Normal school to replace the structure burned last December has been award' «d to the Northern,Construction Co.of Milwaukee. A Cold Million. It is understood that arrangements have been made by the Pere Marquette receivership to issue certificates to the amount of $1,000,000, the proceeds to be applied to paying to the state the company's back taxes. It is also said that Detroit banks are to take the certificates. Vice-President Potter, of the State Savings bank, one of the Pere Marquette -depositories, said he had heard nothing of the certificates, but that they might be issued through other banks or New York agencies. The Smoot Case. It Is the opinion of Senator Bailey, of Texas, and of Senator Dubois, of Idaho, thai Senator Smoot, of Utah, will not be unseated unless Senator Burrows can get a two-thirds majority of the senate to vote that way. The senate committee on privileges and elections which has the Smoot case in hand of which Senator Burrows is chairman, will probably pass finally upon the matter next week and decide in what manner, if at all, it shall bf brought into the senate.

COMING TO THE FRONT Garfield's Report Before Congress Ac comp.nied" ny a MeaaagV of the President Couched in His Sharpest Phraie. The Showing Made. President Rooeevelt transmitted to congress the report of James R. Oarfield, commissioner of corporations, giving the results of his Investigation of the subject of transportation and freight rates in connection with the oil industry. In his message the president expresses the views that the report is of capital importance because of the effort now being made to secure such enlargement of the powers of the interstate commerce commission as will confer upon-the commission power in some measure adequate to meet the clearly demonsj^tfted needs of the situation. The facts set forth in the report, he declares, are for the most part not disputed. That the Standard Oil Co. has benefited enormously by secret rates, many of which were clearly 'unlawful, the president says the report clearly shows. The president's chief points, made in the message, are: The Standard Oil Co. has benefited enormously by secret rates.

The Standard Oil Co., the richest and moat powerful corporation in the world, has started for cover and the pace was fully as fast as some of its sallies into the open field occupied by the independent producer and the small dealer. It doubled the pay of Its directors, making them the highest paid directors in the country, and hired a press agent. There are thirteen directors in the company, and the cost of these meetings to the corporation is more,than $600,000 a year. The thirteen directors are: John D. Rockefeller,. Wm. G. Rockefeller, John D. Archbold, Charles R. Pratt, Wm. H. Tilford, Henry M. Flagler, Henry H. Rogers, C. W. Harkness, Oliver H. Payne, F. Q. Barstow, J. A. Moffett, E. T. Belford and Wulter Jennings. Most amazing to those who have followed the Standard Oil policy is the appointment of Joseph I. C. Clarke as official press agent at a salary of $20,- 000. The public could more easily conceive of the corporation paying $20,000 a year to keep the news of its affairs out of the papers, but that it ahould pay any such amount to gain publicity is almost staggering. y o r k e r s , $t> 40ig>6 50; roughs, W .;>; ! s t a g s one-third off.

Witte's Successor. The resignation of Count Witte as premier of the Russian cabinet, has been accepted. He will be succeeded by M'. Goremykin, former minister of the interior. J. L. Goremykin has been, since 1899, one of the most hated of all Russia's so-called tyrant officials. He was minister of the interior from 1895 to 1899, when Witte was minister of finance. Goremykin succeeded Durnovo, the present minister of the interior, and was in turn foiloVed by Sipiagune, who was later assassinated. While Witte, Muravieff and Durnovo were the leading spirits in the ministry at that time, Goremykin gained great notoriety in Russia because of his ruthless suppression of the student demonstrations which characterized the year 1S99.

' It proved to be very much more trouble than you would think. I bad read somewhere that one ought to parse every word one writes. I didn't see why. Yet I did it, for of course an author must expect to put up with a little inconvenience; though I am afraid the parsing would have made dear old Miss Howard shudder, for 1 always hated parsing at school. I soon gave up the idea of writing a book. A tale would be quite enough and far less bother., SQ I burnt the other stuff, parsing and all, and started on the tale. It was easy to decide what it should be about. All ^ftrertaiesPve read— a girl, a man and a wedding. So I soon got it done. It was rather a rush to get it copied by post time, but I managed if and sent K off to the editor in whose paper I wished it to appear, and then waited for him to send me the check. About two days later a big envelope came up with my letters and I couldn't think what it might be; but when I opened it I was indeed surprised. It was my tale. The editor didn't want i t After breakfast I went into the library and sat flown to read the manuscript over. I picked up the printed slip whicn came with it. Marked on it were two or three words about the tale having "no plot" and being "too crude." It was so absurd, because there was a plot. 1 know what a plot is. WA studied the plots of Shakesi. v->- .? peaf% at school. The plot is the tale, and my tale was about a man who met a girl and married her. I was thinking tais out when Mr. Klngswell was announced. After he had shaken hands he went and stood on the hearthrug with one elbow on the chimney piece, looking at me at the writing table surrounded by all my papers. "Whatever documents have you there? Are you auditing the household accounts?" he asked. "No," I said, "I don't have anything to do with the accounts yet; I don't think 1 could manage them." (Of course I couldn't. Hadn't I made a muddle of my own allowance?) "Ah! Then you are perhaps calculating your personal liabilities? But, no, I see you are not dealing with figures." Ke was laughing, I could tell; but I didn't mind that, some people laugh so nicely, and I determined to tell him all about it? "I am writing a story," I said, "or rather 4 have written one, and, would yon believe, the editor I posted it to has sent it back." "It's a habit I am told editors have/' Mr. Kingswell replied, quite seriously, though I fancied his eyes were laughing. "It's a very silly habit," I asserted, 'and editors must be very stupid if thoy are all like this one. Why he says there is no plot in my tale; could anything be more ridiculous?" "What is the story? Tell me all about it," returned Mr. Kingswell, "and I ahull .be able to sympathize more completely." So I told him briefly, of course, for there wasn't much to tell, and when I l e d finished: "tadeed, Mtss March," he said, "the editor must be mistaken.

I was offended, and I expect he saw it, for he went oh as quickly a s possible to explain what he meant. He said a great deal, but as far as I can remember, *he meaning of.it all Was that? had had no experience of gettitfg engaged and that sort ot thing and that the tale showed this weakness. He said I had much to learn and before I corrected the story I ought to, try to improve. Did you ever hear anything so siily? How could I gain experience in a day or two? Who was there to help me? I told Mr. Kingswell what I thought of his idea. Of course it would be useful, but Impracticable. I always knew he was a fine chum. I had known him for ever so many years, but I think he was just a trump for what he suggested. It was that he should be my lover for a fortnight, so that I might see how a man would act if he loved somebody. Since he didn't mind the trouble, 1 was of course perfectly willing, and soon after we had arranged it he left. But no sooner had Mr. Kingswell gone than I began to feel wretched. It was about his last book. I read it. There was such a nice sirl in it, about like me 1 should think. I wondered \i she pretended to be his very dear friend while :>o wrote the book. It wasn't a nice idea somehow.

Everything seemed miserable now; and really our experiment would not be of mask use, for 1 vowed I would never write about Mr. Kingswell in a book—I would just remember him myself. Of course the right thing for me to do. was to thank him for his kindness In helping me, but I was afraid to. He was looking at me so nnmereUully, Indeed,, that I daren't try, especially as I knew my voice would be sure to shiver as If I had just been crying— and of course I hadn't. So I just .waited and longed for dad to come intill at last he spoke. "And so our acting is over, Marjory?" It was (he first time he had called me that and I liked to hear i t I couldn't think of anything to say, and neither did he for a moment; then he said quite suddenly: "You think me a good actor, don't you? Marjory—darling—it was real!" I found my voice and gasped out: "Oh! I am so glad." But I hadn't time~for any more, for Mr. Kingswell was only a little way from me, and he takes such big strides!

THE EDITOR DIDN'T WANT IT. that Mr. Kingswell always came to see dad and not particularly me; but now when I knew his visits wero really mine it was delightful. I had a lovely time and the days just flew by. The fortnight began to draw to the end. I counted the days as they passed. I couldn't help thinking how I should miss a lover. For he was a splendid actor; anyone would think he really meant it. I remember once we went for a walk—dad, Mr. Kingswell and J— when one of those harum-scarum Graham boys dashed up on his bicycle just as we were crossing the road. I can't tell how it happened, but the next minute Mr. Kingswell was lifting me i'P all covered with road dust whilst dad was anxiously entreating me to tell him if I were hurt. I wasn't, and said so; and really it was a good thing dad had turned to speak to the boy, for it took my "lover" quite a long time to realize there was nothing the matter. He kept on holding me as if he would never let me go and I distinctly heard him murmur: "Thank God for that, my darling." when I bMd I was all right, exactly as if it really mattered to him. At length the last day came and Mr. Kingswell did not appear till the evening after dinner. Dad had gone to his study; he wouldn't let me go with* him, but said I had to amuse myself till he came back. I took my violin and tried to play—but couldn't, I was too lonely. So I just cuddled up on the big settle and tried not to cry. Some one came in. I thought it was dad until I looked up and saw—Mr. Kingswell.

Touching the jacket of the nearest datto: "You are a let of foolish and ignorant children," I said. "Yoii are haggling about paying taxes when you have already been doing it for years, and have been giving the Americans money to pay me to pay the interpreter and all my soldiers." This at once struck their attention. The explanation followed. They understood it remarkably quickly. They saw the humor and the truth of the thing, and, wondering at the finesse that had been able to make them contribute to their Dwn subjugation, yielded in a sort ot nonplussed way, feeling, no doubt, that it was useless to hope to escape a people who could devise such 0 smart system of getting money from other people without the latter's even knowing it.

Remember the auto has come to stay and t he sooner your team become accostomed to tteni the better. There are some reckless drivers of machines who do not seem to cam if they do cause trouble but there are many who are very careful and stand ready to do more than the law demands. If y o u know your horse fs afranl of the machine and y o u h a v e a c' -noe to turn into a yard, field or b y r o a d when y o u see one c o m i n g , d o so and then take the first opportunity to bring him in contact with an auto wheu there is nojlanger of an accideut. If yon must meet a machine it is much better to keep the horse going than to stop as he is not half as likely to be frightened and you have h i m better in hand. I f the road is good the auto will pass with less noise than if it slowed down and the animal will not have time to be frightened. Always remember the auto has as much right to the road as the team, and many of the machine drivers d o not ask for even their share. Loose stock in the road is at o w n e r ' s risk and there is nothing worse than a loose horse. They will sometimes run for miles ahead of the auto before turning in and letting it pass. T h e driver of the auto is not obliged to look after such an animal. If the auto or driver meet with an accident caused by-awtU4oose afcack^Jthfe, owner uf the stock is liable for damage. Of course this applies as well to a n y rig that meets with damage the same way— loose stock has no right in the highway. -r-sr*- ADDITIONAL LOCAL. are Fortunate ftlssonrlans.

Judge A. G. Dayton, April 5, in opening the term of federal court at Wheeling, VV.

Dreary days passed. John^s greatest distrea* was of the mind, for he could not learn what had teccifie of Mollie, and his fancy sometimes pictured her in sickness. He met with daring spirits and an escape was planned, in the light of -subsequent events it would doubtless have been wiser for them to have remained where they were, since the day of liberation was not far away, but hot beads carried the day, and the escape was made. The pursuit was not very hot, for Just at this time provisions had grown scarce, and with coming events cast- j ing their shadows beforr, the people Only two of the Federals emerged from the cut, the third having been stunned by hlB fall. Those two were Colonel John and the engineer. Knowing the locality was unhealthy for men of their calling, they made haste to leave it, always heading toward the North.

Several times they had narrow escapes, and as the night drew near an end It was determined to hide.

He stood in the doorway looking at her. She was white and thin, hut had never looked so lovely in his eyes. Their glances met—she smiled and held out her hand. In a moment he was at- her side, on one knee, and had seized that hand, borne it to his bearded lips and kissed it passionately, nor did Mollie offer the slightest objection. "You have been 111, my darling— I feared it when you failed to come back. Then in the hands of the enemy I was sent to a prison, made my escape, and the same strange fate that had linked our lives directed me here. But you are in mourning;—who is dead —your father?"

"Amen!" she sobbed, from the'shelter of his arms, for John had taken the full liberty of a husband to embrace the dainty little woman given into his keeping by fortune's favor, John went no farther in search o t the Federal lines. Squire Granger was stricken down as a result of worry, and for a time lay helpless. In this emergency John proved a Godspeed, and won the old man's heart, even as he had already captured his daughter's. In their long chats Mollie and her husband had a full understanding. He produced the papers taken from the burning house, and which he had carried on his person all through his adventures. These documents, so precious to !um, related to his inheritance. Besides, there were certain facts concerning his leaving home under a cloud, and with these papers he was able to clear his name in full. No wonder, then, he risked his life in order to save them. As for his cousin, should the papers have been destroyed, there was a chance of his gaining the property, which accounted for his Interest. .Then came the news of Lee's surrender, and last of all Johnston yielded up his army to Sherman. The war was over. All the sorely stricken South breathed easy—they had fought long and bravely for their cause, and yielded only when further warfare would have been madness—inhuman. John was at the head of his regiment as It marched through Washington; but he laid down his sword and returned to Georgia to identify himself as a lawyer with his native city, Atlanta. The war brought misery to many, but to Colonel John it gave a loving wife, and to-day tfie Gate City honors him as one of her leading sons. (The End.) W. L. DOUGLAS SSHOESBK W.

Every minister, lawyer, Journalist, physician, author or business man Is forced under pressure of modern conditions to the active and sometime3 overactive use of the brain. Analysis of the excreta thrown out by the pores shows that brain work breaks down the phosphate of potash, separating it from its heavier companion, albumen, and plain common sense teaches that this elemental principle must be introduced into the body anew each day, If we would replace the los3 and rebuild the brain tissue. "" We know tnat the phosphate of potash, as presented in certain field grains, has an affinity for albumen and that Is the only way gray matter In the brain can or bntlt. ft will not answer to take the crude phosphate of potash of the drug shop, for nature rejects It.

With the agitation on the subject that has been carried on the last few -years, all of us are more or less informed of the havoc caused by tuberculosis, the necessity for precautions, the new sane outdoor treatment. But better realization of the gravity of the situation comes when one listens to the stories.told by the physicians and the visiting nurses, glances at statistics such as these: In Chicago the total number of deaths from the nine diseases most dreaded by the public i t y P h ^ f e v e j Y j a ^ year 1905 was 1,864; from tuberculosis alone, 3,674. One begins to believe in the necessity tor a united effort, and that, as some one says, the disease Constitutes much more a social than a medical problem. Wherefore this campaign of education, to have the people instructed in the vital matter of prevention as well as in the latest scientific means of treatment of the disease, to lessen the dreadful meance to public safety. As it is among the poor, surrounded by unsanitary conditions, illy nourished by improper food, that the worst ravages occur, it stands to reason that among them the crusade must be waged if desired-for results are to be obtained. Chicago Tuberculosis Institute. H E 0 d 11 c a tional > campaign inaugurated some -time ago by a committee of the Visiting Nurses' association has brought forward the necessity for a broadening of the work, for a great fight against the disease in ChU cago, and has led to the organization of the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute. The institute plans to establish at once: 1. A model free dispensary for tuberculous patients, in some crowded district, Intended not only for the spe^ ciallstic treatment of the patients, but for the hygienic and sanitary supervision of their homes. It will become a center for physical neighborhood improvement, just as the college settlement works for moral and mental betterment. 2. An open-air day camp or sanatorium, where patients or predisposed children can be sent, away from their unhealthy surroundings. 2. An Information bureau, where people can get, at any time, free advice and information on the subjects of tuberculosis. Its prevention and cure, open-air appliances, health resorts, • sanatoria, etc. A lecture-bureau will provide lecturers and illustrations of the subject in various parts of the city. 4. An experimental station for the production, testing, and Investigation of certain protective and curative preparations, with a view to""bringlng about artificial immunization agamst the disease. For the free dispensary a structure of two stories is contemplated, with a roof garden enclosed by glass, a scientific laundry in the basement, and a diet kitchen from which will be given away fresh milk and eggs, these de- 1 partments in addition to the pharmacy and dispensary. In a roof garden school children charges may pfcf and work, a kipdergarten with plenty of fresh air in addition to tne usual attractions. Tuberculosis and the Poor. E have long taken comfort that Chicago was not as other cities are; that this big town of .ours was not disgraced, by the slum conditions existent elsewhere. But we are Informed that not much longer—unless we set to work to prevent i t - shall we - be able to keep this boast. The city is growing at a tremendous rate, all the time there are pouring in hordes Of Immigrants willing to live amid most unsanitary conditions, to herd cattle-ltke. Every now and then stories crop up of unsavory conditions, details are presented of lodging house conditions out where the steel workers toil and sleep from toil, or of conditions in what is known as the lodging <bouse districts of the First ward. Conditions favoring tuberculosis are dark and Ill-ventilated apartments, dirt and overcrowding. The other afternoon at the museum we were shown stereopticon pictures of tenement house life, and listened to word pictures by Miss Harriet Fulmer, at the head of the Visiting Nurses' association, that made us lose our comfortable complacency about the plenty ot room, the absence of slums in Chicago. Here was a kitchen with an adjoining dark bedroom renting at »10 a month, and occupied by a man and wife and eight children.

EEK o n e e n t e r 8 the rooms where the exhibition is held one of the first things to attract attention are the words of encouragenient and of warning that stand out in bold letters, on the wall. This from Pasteur: "it is in the power of man to make all infectious diseases to disappear from tbe world'." And then the lecturers, the noted experts, enlarge this theme. On the tables are piled up pamphlets that the visitors are free to examine and take away. There is the Memorandum on Tuberculosis, compiled at "Kaiserlich Deutches Gesundheitsamt" at Berlin, wherein the reader learns what tuberculosis is, how the infection takes place, how one protects oneseli against the disease, and advice Is given to persons in great danger, advice to diseased persons. A yellow slip With the heading, "Death Roll Call," gives statistics from the Chicago health department of the causes of death ia Chicago for the year just past. There is a lengthy pamphlet on "The Early Diagnosis of Pulmonary Consumption," a circular issued by the Illinois state board of health. On the first page of the circular we find: "What we ask for is that the consumptive shall be taken care of at the right time in the right -place until he is well, and not at the wrong time in the wrong place until he Is dead.'" One thing impressed in various graphic ways Is that both prevention and cure demand Air. Air, Air, Air bespeaks the pictured invalid lying in the hammock perched on the roof of a 'city flat building. The same cry is heard.from the various representations of sanatoria; from a tent colony In Illinois, a camp in the Adirondack woods, and In the mountains of Colorado and California. And another thing Impressed is that in search of this precious Air the patient need not Journey far away IRRIGATION WORKS WELL.

He Is not a curiosity on account of his shape or size or because he resembles the coon and lives In Australia, where all nature is topsy turvy, but because of a remarkable fcabit the female of his species has of laying eggs and hatching them after the manner of birds. This queer egg laying animal, the only creature of the kind on earth as far as the zoologists fcnow, is called a platypus. It inhabits the deep forests of the river bottoms of both Australia and New Zealand and, it is said, has many of the characteristics which distinguish " the beaver tribe. The platypus is not a common animal even in its native haunts, and it is yearly becoming scarcer because of the war which the natives wage Rgainst it on account of its peculiar egg laying habits. They have a super •titious dread of the harmless little animal because its habits deviate so widely from those generally noted in fur covered, four footed creatures, their hatred of it betag so great that no band, whether composed of half a dozen or 100 families, will settle in the vicinity of a lake or stream until the young men "beat the bush" and kill every platypus fcbat can be found.

While this will cost quite a sum, it will cost no more now than later and many of the old walks are becoming dangerous and it looks to us like a good move on the part of the council These walks once down are down for good and &dd not only to the beaaty bat to th*value of the village prcperty.

On* of our ©o«re*pc*d«*ts--lortiUtikte man—Suds himself able to corroborate tie ©^borate computations by which the commercial agencies prev» that ~<*» <ooat of living" has steadily decreased in recent years, and that it is now much iess than it used to be. There is, we think, something more than a general impression, at least among people of small or moderate means, that these computations iire vitiated by a mysterious inaccuracy, and that, as a matter ©f fact, the ordinary expenses of running a modest -household have in the last decade increased nearly if not n.ulte 75 per cent. Our correspondent supplies tbe explanation. Things really are cheaper, he Bays, but everybody has been transferring items from the category of luxuries to that of necessities, and that is why the salary or the income no longer seems to go as far i-.s it did ten years ago. There may be something in this theory; indeed, there probably it. It .will be extremely hard, however, to convince everybody that it accounts lor everything. One cannot but regret that it is impracticable to figure out these averages from retail prices—that la, from the prices that everybody pays. It is a sad fact that a slight reduction in wholesale* prices makes no difference in retail prices, while an advance of the same size makes a difference of from five to ten or 20 times as large.

Anyhow, it 1B of little use to advise a return to the simplicity of our fathers. It cannot be done. The fathers we're as simple as they had to be, and no more, and they were comforted merely because they had not learned what comfort ia. Their luxuries really are our necessities, and there is no help for i t Tampering with English, ' New Importance .has been given by two announcement* to the old question of reforrntng>English spelling.

It is not time yet, believes the Youth's Companion, to say how much can be done to make the spelling oi some English words more nearly phonetic, or to estimate the value of arguments for and against changes in orthography. One thing may be said, however, that no language will present greater difficulties to those who would change old habits than the English language, for it is the tongue of two grgat nations, neither of which has intellectual authority over the other. Even now England and Arr.erlca. disagree on the spelling of "humor" and similar words. MEN WHO REFUSED TO TESTIFY OBEY THE COURT.

The miners had little to say regarding the agreement, except that it was the best they could do. They pointed out, however, that the agreement entered into is the first general agreement that has ever been signed between the operators and miners, and they look upon it as a step forward In their efforts to have regular agreements with their employers.

The delegates to the douma had assembled at the winter palace, where standing in the center of a pageant of bewildering splendor the .,9'orkmen and peasants heard the czar read his speech from the throne. The speech promised little. The emperor pledged himself to maintain the parliament and asked it to labor for the uplifting of the peasantry and the education of the people. There was not a word about land litical prisoners. The message in reality was less a throne speech than a greeting, and required only three minutes for its de livery. Emperor Nicholas read slowly.

Through special secret freight rates, one-half the open rate, the trust was able .to control most of the trade without price cutting. Through.the suborning of local oil Inspectors Inferior oil was distributed and competitors were put at a disadvantage. Different brands of oil were sold from the same barrel at different prices. Railroad employes were bribed to give the Standard Information concerning shipments <oi competitors. Payment of/compensation to tho Santa Fe railway lor oil transported by the Standard pipe line was denied by President Ripley of the former. — — ^ m f f l i g g i o ^ in R B « J O P . The evidence was heard by commissioners Clements, Prouty and Cockreit sitting in the district court room of the federal building. The presentation o f the testimony Was conducted by the commission's counsel, J. T, MarchaAd. and P. Si Jft.o^nett, former attorney general of Ohio. Attorneys ,^ohn S. Miller and Alfred D.

My brother, John Maxon, was man* ager of this company at different times. This went-* en. from 1899 to 1905." "What were the methods of the fake companies in getting the trade?" asked, the attorney. "We canvassed a town from house to house and located every consumer of independent oil," said Mr. Maxom. "Then the lists of the dealers were Bent to heauuuartera. .1 employed five girls to make this canvass in Decatur.,. They made a llet of the Independent dealers, which I sent to Charles Kercher with instructions to get their trade away from them by any means and at any cost." Slake Lamp Burn Smoky. "What were the means employed?" "One way," explained the witness, "was to visit each consumer and tell him that the independent oil he was using was Inferior. The h'gent would prove this by lacfip tests. By the simple trick of regulating the amount of air which reached the name he could make the independent oil burn smoky and the Standard oil clean and bright. That's easy to do with the same oil in each lamp. In the course ?= .

The North American says that the peoples of America; through John Mitchell's action in preventing an anthracite strike, have saved $25,000,000. The claim is that within 100 miles of New York cfty, Mitchell found 9,000,900 toog of anthracite and a s many more in Pennsylvania yards. From these 19,000,000 tons, 40 cents per ton was cut, the day the anthracite workers voted against a strike. Calculations on the 40-cent basis show the people saved at least $7,200,000 on the 18,000,000 tons. Taking the saving in the price of coal as 70. cents per ton, upon the total of $18,000,000, shows a grand total of $12,600,000. The average of 70 cents'.a ton over Wednesday's prices would ha^e been more than doubled within two months, had a strike been declared. these housekeepers, and the independent dealers would have to come back Into line or lose their business permanently, "At Paris, 111., the Standard agent left the service because an Independent got the majority of the dealera.

It was the same in the other districts in .Indiana; Illinois and Ohip.'t ^Company. to describe F» companies jatganized to rem the Independent oil dealers. "Well," said Mr. • Maxon, "you aee there was some of the trade which .was opposed to. buying oils of the Standard, and so the Republic Oil rompany was organised by the Stand* ard people to get that .trade." "Were thelrcf any more ot these fako companies?' aafcsd Mr. Monnett. "Yes; ' there was the' Iraragbn Oil current price was {hen 10½ cents to the retail trade, but we made the price to this o:\o dealer five cents, and he sold it at cost." Send Around a Rebate. "How could he make a living at that rate?" asked the attorney. "Well," said the witness, "once a month v;e sent a man around who gave the dealer a rebate of one cent a gallon on all the oil he bought. V."9 paid for his advertising also." "What happened to the independent you^ were fighting?" "I finally bought his plant, dismantled it, and had it shipped to another point." *'Ho<y long did it take you t> wreck him?" "One year."

Congress has at last decided that the "plain people" shall be forced to accept a present of garden seeds valued at $202,000 whether they want them or not. Representee Wesley Gaines of Tennessee presented letters from his constituents showing that the farmers are begging for free seeds. This should not mislead anyone though. The majority of persons will take anything they can get for nothing and if the Government were" to distribute free frying pans or fine tooth combs there would doubtless be a demand for them equal to the farmer's cry for free seeds.

Miss Plnkerton alwayfc^ade a point of being down early fo*<*< breakfast when/she was a guest ; , On this occasion, however, Mrs. Henshaw was close unriri her heels. She had been describe? t ^ - a fellow woman as "ridiculously pretty and absurdly in love with her husband.* "Good morning. Miss Plnkerton. Come and help me sort the letters, will you?" Miss Plnkerton was only too delighted. "They seem to be nearly all for your husband," she said. "I don't want to be inquisitive, my dear, but do you read all the letters your husband receives from his old sweethearts?" Youn& wives are proverbially sepal-1 last words, tive, and in the face of this question Mrs. Henshaw was almost upset. But she showed a smiling front, and opened one of her letters. "This is from Kate—Mrs. Tracy. She used to be my great chum. She writes such nice letters. Just listen to this: 'My darling Grace, If you can tear yourself away from the partner of your joys and sorrows, who will, I dare say, manage to exist without you for n bit, I should like you to come and lunch with me to-morrow (Wednesday) at 1:30. if you come I am prepared to overlook your comparative neglec*. of me since your marriage.

"No. it Is not necessary to read the name," he said, with a shiver. He walked slowly over to the window with drooping head. Grace had turned to him with & look of wonder and alarm which deepened as he spoke. "Up-iii my honor, Grace," he said, "I cannot understand this, I assure you I have given this—this girl no encouragement that-could induce her to write a letter like this after my marriage." His wife had dropped the flimsy mask that she had worn none too well, and confronted him with a pale face. She could find, however, nothing to say, except to repeat his "An: Where is she?

Jack made an idiotic attempt at jocularity, jingled some money in his pocket, and feebly laughed. "Well, of course you know that a man isn't answerable to his wife for his pre-nuptial flirtations."^/^ Mrs. Henshaw's self-control was breaking down under the weight of her discovery. With a sudden access of pardonable fury, and forgetful of the part she had been playing: "Who is she? What's her name?'* Jack turned from the window with a look of astonishment, and muttered di8jointedly: — "Her name! Why surely! The letter! Miss Pinkerton read it! By for instance, just for the pleasure of undeceiving him the next moment. He would think you quite clever if, for instance, .you succeeded in frightening him with that letter." "Frightening him, how? I really don't—'* "Why, don't you see? Read the letter aloud again!" Mrs. Henshaw did so, but still looked bewildered. i "Stupid! stupidL Just knocjj out George, though, she didn't read the Jinmft.— T V " yltfr thP PyflK nf both. women upon him, a look of horrid enthe word 'Grace*' asd you have a most delightful love letter from an unknown womin." Mrs. Henshaw began to see. The idea was silly, but after all if it would please this somewhat difficult creature, what harm was there in it? And Jack would only be ;» bit astonished for the moment. j Meanwhile Jack Henshaw, blissfully ignorant of what was in store Tor him. proceeded quietly with his toilet. Miss Pinkerton had got upon his nerves, and he rather regretted that his wife had thought it necessary to send her the invitation she had so persistently "fished" for ever since they had returned from their honeymoon. Jack Henshaw was by no means dull, and his foot had hardly crossed the threshold of his breakfast-room before he scented something decidedly unusual in the manner of his wife and her guest. "What in the name of all that's wonderful is the matter this morning?" he said. At that his wife, who had never frowned upon him since tneir marriage, gave him a look which he found difflcuJt to analyze, and which left him even more bewildered than before. Then fche rose hurriedly from the table and went to the window, only presenting to her husband's astonishsl gaze the spectacle of a pair of shoulders heaving convulsively. "It's about a letter," she sobbed. "Read it," exclaimed Miss Pinkerton. < A piece of paper fluttered to the floor, and in a choking voice came the words: "•I— I can't." "Then I must." Miss Pinkerton picked up the paper and stood confronting Jack w:th the air of a tragedy queen. She noted with some disappointment that her victim was to all intents and purposes quite calm. She had pictured his face turning to a greenish hue, but on the contrary it was quite bright and animated. "Your wife opened one-of your letters by accident," she began, unblushingly, "fend these are the wicked words which shattered her idol and dispelled all the dreams of her youth." Mls<i Pinkerton then read the letter, \vith a dramatic earnestness very much in contrast with the feminine levity of-th* writer:—— "My darling Jack (pause). If .you can tear yourself away from the partner of your Joys and sorrows, who will, I dare say, manage to exist without ybu again. The atmosphere ia too dramatic for her dairy-fed constitution." Miss Plnkerton, for the first time in her life looking rather "sheepish," was in the hall, and the cab was at the door. Jack handed her in politely, and took the keenest interest in the arrangement of her luggage. "I nm so sorry you have to leave so soon," he said, '.'but I quite sympathize with your feelings: By-thebye, there was an empty envelope in Kate Tracey's handwriting on my plate this morning. Do you happen to know—•", But the cab had started. THE COMPANY SCATTERED. Ingenious B U M of Western Desperadoes in a Job Put TJp on Gamblers. "STUPID!

Which one was it?" There was complete silence for the space of ten seconds. Jack Henshaw counted them by the clock. Then Mrs. Henshaw rushed out of the room in tears. Jack turned to Miss Pinkerton, who hart remained silent throughout, and now looked really frightened. ' "What will she do?" he asked, excitedly. "She would probably go to her mother," she said, in some alarm, "unless—" But Jack did not wait for the alternative. "That's what ; feared! It's -the more exasperating because 'It will bring your visit to such a sudden conclusion. Of course you will understand. If my sisters were here it would be different. I suppose Grace will go at once. I'll fetch a cab!" And before she could stop him he was ac the front door blowing excited double blasts on a cal.> whistle. Then he summoned a maid. ( "Miss Pinkerton finds she ha.s to leave us suddenly. Will you pleas9 help her to pack?" _ , Before the astonished spinster could find breath to reply she was bundled out of the room with more haste- than dignity. Jack rushed up to his wife's room, thres steps at a time. A very tearful "Come in" answered his knock, and in a very few moments Jack Henshaw had dismissed the idea that he was the injured person and was fully "con^tn^ao^ll hearted. scoundrel living. -His conduct was quite unjustifiable, but he could at least palliate it.

He then dumped out on the counter a-quantity ==JiL^ looked to be powder. His companion took from his pocket some of the same stuff and threw it into the fire, whereupon black smoke puffed out from the stoye. By that time the gamblers looked around and were horrified to see the other one seize the horn and throw the contents into the stove. "The whole company, thinking there would be a horrible explosion, jumped to> their feet hnd scattered.1 With a joyous laugh _the_.two men ran over to the tables hnd scooped in all the money id sight—a goodly pile—jumped on their horses and galloped away.

Some marina animals live only in the purest water, others only In the foulest water; for every condition there is s life to fit it. In all ocean basins, bills and ridges, as well as troughs and deej? holes, occur, and the bottom is, covered with the skeletons of marine animals, changed by time into sllmet and stone. Some of the animals of the ocean have no eyes, having no need of them; others have a hundred eyes. The largest animal and the tiniest animal are found in the sea. In places the sea is 30,000 feet deep. Its average depth is over 12,000 feet. Twice every 24 hours the water rises and falls. At the entrance to the Bay of Fundy the rise at spring tide is no Iftsa than 70 feet. Tha natural nower WIRELESS ON RAILWAY. System Now In Operation on All Fast Trains Running Out of the City of London. The Midland Railway company Is conducting a series of experiments in the vicinity "of Derby to determine whether wireless telegraphy can be used In connection with their fast train service between London and the north. The system adopted was conceived by Sir Oliver L0(Jge and Dr, Alexander Muirhead, who are assisting the electrical engineer of the railway. The difficulty with the aerial wire ''constituted the greatest problem: * In'order to test the Idea under the most disadvantageous conditions an old car was used as a receiving station. The aerial wires were carried on porcelain insulators, the height of the wires varying from 9 to 15 inches'above the e«rvature-of the roof. It rsVcU<|tned' that never before has so short/an/aerial wire been used in wireless "telegraphy.

In S^ecourM^of his remarks Mr. Carter pstTT^pecial attention to the courage and consistency of the president as regards the rate bill, ,not only since he became president, but Jbefoje that time. He ted. looked •*;• np the records of Mr. Rayner and Mr. m^l pailey and found, in them no instances of a valiant stand against the power of the railroads on the part of either of these gentlemen. In closing, Mr. Carter shouted that. the Republicans are the menovho do things; the Democrats are tie mea who criticise and dodge; .but.-? Roosevelt Is neither a coward nor, a dodger. Mr. Bailey,, in referring to the president when' he replied to Mr. Carter, said: "But he has been credited with undaunted courage, and he has been called a fighter. Yes, I will admit that he has" courage and that he can fight—upon occasion. But I will also say that he can give up and quit with as much alacrity as any one ever could.

She was very pretty, very ladylike^and had been well educated. She was but nineteen years old and not self assertive, but this only rendered her tbe more attractive to me. I passed a delightful evening In her company and went home to dream of her. In due time I called upon Mrs. Wood and told her that I was much pleased with her friend.

[Original.] For any one to mention to me a conrentlonal form—to say "this Is tbe •roper thing to do," or 44tbat Isn't the proper thing to do"—le like shaking a ted rag before a mad bull, and I'll tell foa why. I was brought up In as eastern city, ^ the "beet circles," which meant that I wme ctrefnlly twined as to tbe "proper thing.4' I wee need to two dif« ftereot way* of taming, ceeael acquaintances with young ladies Into aalttBf acquaintances. Tfce flnrt was ter tbe yoo&t mas to west 4ec an inrttatten to call trm the {gug ladj "What is the proper thing?" "If the gentleman wishes to kno^ the girl it Is his privilege to ask permission to call upon her." "I never did such a thing in in* life. We never did it.at home." "I believe things were different in auch cases when you were at home. The custom has changed." This was a revelation to me. For years I had been priding myself on not trespassing upon other people's homes till invited. I had caused an estrangement between myself and the girl h wished to marry, and all because * gon-^ ventional form bad cnanged and I dicT not know It. I told my sister of my mistake and asked her what I could do In the matter. She told me that she would think It over and let me know if she thought of any way to untie the knot. I waited some time for her reply, but none came. Then one morning I received a note from Miss Rlvard: Your aister tells me that you have been waiting seven years for me to ask you to come to see me. I meantime have been waiting seven years for you to ask for an invitation to call upon me, since I supposed that to be t h e conventional form in such cases. Indeed, I never was taught a n y ottrerr -f-hape~yw WT1T come soon and often to make up for lost time. I lost no time in making the call- and when I did so displayed such grief at having through a bit of conventional stubbornness lost seven years of the lady's society that It was equivalent to a lot of lovemaking. My courtship lasted seven days, or one day for each' jear of our estrangement; then I pn> uosed and was accepted. I learned soon afterward that I was In the nick of time—that Julia Kivard was on the point of accepting a man who had had the impudence to call upon her without even, having asked permission. He had given as a reason that he feared he might be refused. I also learned that I had been Invited by Mrs. Wood to meet Miss Rlvard with the intention of making a match. While I train my boys and girla to keep track of conventional forms as well as they can, I also teach them to pay as little attention to etiquette as Is safe. Forms were made as a protection from boors. Genteel people can aflsrd to dispense with them. RV88BLL THORNS. MAPLES PRIDE 8327 » Pinckney Every Saturday Season of 1906 Owned by A. G.

U*ands to the bosom of the Delaware. £;'•:*• 4>r There came to a California woman the thought of strewing flowers upon the waters of the mighty deeps in honor of the men who will rest there until the • <iay when the sea gives up its dead. Thus was born a beautiful custom which in five years has spread north to Lake Erie, east to Philadelphia, south to Havana and New Orleans, and from the Golden Gate of San Francisco to the Delaware river the naval dead receive in flowers a need of remembrance upon each recurring Memorial day. A National Custom. The custom thus established Is rapidly; becoming a national one. It has been cordially indorsed by Dewey, Sampson, Schley and Long, by naval captains and officials by the score and has been incorporated into, the national naval memorial ceremony by the Navy Veterans' association. Its originator, Mrs. Armilage S. C. Forbes, of .Los Angeles, was made an "honorary member of the National Association, Ladies of Naval Veterans, and of various women's relief corps ahlf organizations throughout the United States, besides receiving official commendation from the Grand Armyof the Republic and the navy department at "Washington. Mrs. Forbes' Inspiration. Just five years ago this earnest little woman was seeking seme new thought for the coming memorial; n snatch of song was running through her head: "Cast your bread uppn the waters." ''\Vhy not cast flowers upon the waters for the men lest at sea?" she cried. It was an inspiration and had come to a woman who had the energy to make it great. Her plans were iforowlated that very day and with the hearty indorsement of the state superintendent of public instruction she sent out a circular letter to the heads of schools in all the coast towns of the country proposing that such a floral memorial be observed by the school children of California in hoaor of the heroes who fought the last battle for the flag upon the sea, and ffcs) liaonilt Trnn.rnn ftnt glorious observamm along the Pacific coast May 30, 1900.

In Philadelphia, the homo. pfv thousand people on Race street pier watched four flower-ships set out on 11 wondrous voyage. There was a Cumberland for the heroes who sank in Hampton Roads, a Tecumseh in memory of. those who perished in Mobile bay, a dauntless Monitor and a Maine for soldiers sleeping in the coral beds of Havana harbor. It was said "that strong men of the eea choked with emotion while the floral tributes dropped from tender Three rear admirals were present pud the Onondaga, in midstream, fired the salute of 21 guns. Rear Admiral Melville, in his speech oh this occasion, said: "It is peculiarly fitting that tais impressive naval memorial on the sea should be inaugurated on the historic Delaware, where John Paul Jones with his cwn hnnds hoisted on board the Alfred the flag of independent America for the first time, and where the first continental congress authorized the construction of 13 frigates, giving the world to understand that the colonies intended to assert their rights on sea a6 well as on land." In tiie Pax Mediterranean. The sailor boys aboard of one of Uncle Sam's ships in the Mediterranean sea last year remembered the 30th of May. They had no flowers such as grow on land or in the depth of the sea, but sailors are clever with their finger?, and out of such poor things as shavings they made and colored'the most delicate artificial flowers, and roses and Tllies, tulips r.nd chrysanthemums kissed the blue of that far-off ocean. Under the personal direction of Mrs. Forbes, possibly the most remarkable observance of all was held last year off Brighton beaoh, just cutside of San Pedro harbor, California. Three United States war vessels took part, the Wyoming, tl;a Preble and the Paul Jones, the smull tugboat Warrior, on which the se: /ices were held, taking its position with its precious freight or people and flowers, in the center of sin imposing triangle, rormeov by lEe" three iron-clad guardians of the nation's pea'.?. After appropriate exercises the solemn burial service was read aboard the Warrior, which was in command of Capt. Cottman, of the Wyoming, and lilies and roses, carnations and every flower in California's great garden were showered with lavish hands upon the mirroring blue of the water beneath. Emblems, anchors, stars and wreaths were dropped with murmured prayers. Every man, woman and child aboard the little tug had a part and from tho three war vessels which had been supplied with flowers, officers, marines and honest tars dropped bright blossoms in memory of some comrade gone before. As the volleys for the dead were fired six stately flower boats, shaped like the graves of soldiers and bearing upon their canvas, sides laurel wreaths of victory, anchors of hope and blessed Immortelles were cut loose to drift whither they would upon the bosom of the broad Pacific.

Two trusts are threatened by the proposition to remove the tax from alcohol used in the arts, viz, Standard Oil and Wood Alcohol. It is admitted that denatured alcohol will put the wood alcohol trust out of business and that the Standard Oil trust will not allow the denatured alcohol manufacturers to make a living. Ours is the only civilized country in the world where alcohol used as i t is proposed to use denatured alcohol is taxed, that is to say we are the only nation which persists iu taxing the people for their heat and light, that great monopolies may flourish.

'Twas night: and the snow lay like a great white shroud o'er turret, moor, and pavement, falling down in fleecy clouds. It was the Eve of Christmas. St. James' Church was lighted aud warm; aud crowds were tmrrytng from all parts of the Dig City to attend the great musical concert of the season. Lady Laugford, one of England's most famous singers was to be there that night; and great was the excitemeut and anticipation of all "London's music lovers. Along the crowded way—being pushed and shoved back by m&ay- a passer-by —• came our little Arnold and Jim; shoes unlueed aud full of holes, jackets torn and dirty, caps,—far too small aud torn— pulled down tight to cover the jagged and taugled hair, bare hands and dirty faces, but eyes large and full of wondering interest„ As they ueared the great Cathedral: ' 'I say Am', where d' y' sposesbeis? D' y' think she'll pome fer us? She said we'd know her by the blue iu her hat." They c«me nearer aud uearer until they stood upon the first stone atep of the great building. They could see the warm, bright ligbts, and hear the music; and watebechrhe peopte passing^-mr side door opened, and our lady came toward them. Taking them by the hand, she led each little wanderer up the IpTTrmr^into ^rre^-loTTg" Itgbtedr*"KaTIT Speaking some hurried directions to an usher near by, she smiled and left them,— to stand and gaze after her as iu a dream of beauty. But only for a moment.' They were taken in and down the long aisle, to a seat away near the front of the Church. As the usher left them, they looked widly around, and then, sitting down on the crimson-cushion seat, drew long breaths of strange bewilderment, peace and. delight. The moments passed, aud still the people came. The lights grew brighter, the music softer, until the little street arabs, lost to all memories of earth, lived, as it were, in a beautiful dream, where neither papers were sold nor crossings swept. How long they dreamed they knew not nor seemed to care; but slowly a door opened, and an angel in blue seemed to come uearer and nearer to them. The lights grew brighter still, and the music swelled forth in grander,' sweeter strains, till it seemed like a burst from the Heavenly Choirs themselves. Then, as Lady Latigford came forth before that great audience, her eyes found out the lonely children near her, and she smiled to them. Jim moved nearer to Arnold aud said, " A r u \ I see the blue. Do you?. She's all bine, she is,—looks like a piece of sky. Say Aru', can't you see hrr? Sperk Arn." But Arn' never spake nor moved. He watched, as it seemed, from afar "His Lady in Blue." He sat with his hands clasped tight together, and eyes and mouth wide open, as Lidy Langford sang It is possible to obtain relief from ohronic indigestion and dyspepsia by the use of KODOL FOR DYSPEPSIA. Some of the most hopeless cases of long standing have yielded to it. It enables you to digest the food you eat and exercises a corrective influence, building up the efficiency of the digestive organs. The stomach is the boiler wherein the steam is made which keeps up your vitality, health and strength. Kodoi digests what you eat. Makes the stomach sweet—puts the boiler in condition to do the work nature demands of it—jnves you relief Jrom digestive disorders, and puts you in shape to do yopr best and fee! your best.

Both of them spoke at once " I see the blue, there she goes. Is she gone? They stood for a moment gazing;.then on through the moving crowded streets, they wenttheir way over to Old Joe's waggon by the bridge. Muddling d o s e together beneath the old bags and straw, slipped away back to the warm lighted Church and heard again the story of a "iieautitul Home for little children up above the bright blue sky." Ah, happy little wanderers; if some angel kind could only come from the "Home Land" and take them safely back to the "Friend of Little Children.7, When morning dawned, cold and misty, our lads were up and away to their posts to battle once more, another day, with the moving tide of the great business world.

Bowles.) 4 It was at the opera house that I first saw her, on a grand night, when the carriages were full of swell folks, and the show at the.door was a* good aa'tother Inside. She was dressed In a shiny cloak bordered with feathers, and where it Cell back her gown showed shiny, too. $wo other folks were with her—a stout lady, with ber head weii up In the air, a tall, loir dude, who wore violets in his button-bole. The girl carried a bunch of violets, too. She looked like an angel. When I had sold out my papers and got a sandwich from the woman in the alley I sneaked back to the opera house door to see the show come out. Presently that girl appeared again, but with another man—a fat, dark party, who wore a blazing stone in his ahirt front and mustaches twisted up at the corners. The girl looked tired, and something seemed to have gone amiss with her. I didn't see her again till the day she came to our court She and I got to be first-rate friends. Many a hamper her coachman tugged up our rickety stairs, and mother and I never lacked for fcod nor fire from that time out. Fhe was everywhere among the poor G£ the district. I beg a n t o think it must be mighty unpleasant business, too, for she got paler and sadder all the time. The weather turned cold and there was snow, and the rich folks were sleighing 4a Jha^ park*So T thought HC.f'"-^.' •w% > If I went that way I might catch a glimpse of Miss Angel, and I did. "For whom are you looking, Bobby?" says she. — ^ o r yoUr-M4ss Angel," says I, and I came near letting out a yell of pure Joy. 'Twas ner own self, in a walking dress with fur on it, and her hands thrust into a bit of a muff. She wore violets again in her r,reast, and I 4flnelled 'em, and they were sweet But we didn't! have a talk. She adn'L fairly settled herself on the ach with me when along came the fat dark man, with the big stone in his shirt front. "I saw yoil from afar, Edith," says he; "pray, allow me." And he. just shoved me aside and squeezed himself down beside Miss Angel. "I'm •glad to see you abroad again, Edith," says he; "I called repeatedly during your illness, but your aeivants refused to admit me." "They obeyed my orders," says Miss Augel, very cold and stiff like. "I see that you bear me some grudge," says he. "Maybe it is about Oacre. Ah, he is a sid dog —that Datire!" "And who has helped Dacre In his downward way?" sayB Miss Angel; and her voice was uncommon sharp. "Well, really, i don't pretend to 1;now>" says the fat man "Some say It is that French actress, Bebe, and thr.t she has a mysterious forest bower at Hemlock Hollow, a few miles out of the city, to which Dacre makes frequent pilgrimages. I have reason to think the rumor true. Dacre is a .jreat favorite with your sex. Then tils fast male companions—" "Stop! It is contemptible, sir, to slr.nder the absent! Dacre's closest companion has been youreelf, Col. Hay. To you he owes his financial ruin. As for thr? other charge," and t'aa grfeW; as whito as chalk, 'Til tell you frinkJy I do not believe a word of it. Dacre is lh^ victim of a crafty foe, who follows him in the guise of •n frlpnd." "My dt\.r lidHh," sa!d the fat man, ".TVP vn-i nnt a little unreasonable? 1 She oeat and kissed M*—heaven and earth! Yes the kieaed me? "Bobby," says she, "l don't know where Mr. Dacre cam be found, and had I asked Col. Hay he would not have told me. m 1 must send Dacre a token, and it must reach him tonight." I prlckel up my ears. "I have not a servant that I can trust with such a matter," sats she, "and time presses—I cannot seek far for my messenger." "It you've anything to send Mr.- Dacre, I'll take it," says I. She opened her purse and took oat a gold ring, engraved witn some motto that I couldn't read. She wrapped the bit of gold In a banknote. Her eyes were full of tears. "If Mr. Dacre is going to visit that Bebe to-night," says I, "what's the matter with Hemlock Hollow?" I remembered that the fat man had mentioned Hemlock Hollow as the place where the actre33 lived. Hemlock Hollow was black as pitch when the train stopped there. I happened to be the only passenger that got off. A statxonmasier came out on the platform, swinging a lantern and stretching his jaws as if he'd just waked up. 1 asked if he'd seen a young gent ^er off there that night in a light overcoat. He concluded that he remembered such a party, because he'd hired a carriage that run from the station and gone away on the swamp road. "Where's the swp.mp road?" says I. He pointed straight before us into the darkness. "Does a woman named Bebe stop round there?" says I. "I never heerd tell of her," says he. I wasn't going to blab secrets, so I stuck trry~tongue into my cheek—and made off as fast as my legs could carry me. The weather had turned killing this dot is also a fwnflj reile.

I followed It Well, after I'd thased over a hundred miles, or so, I saw a light. • You bet I was glad. Sure enough, the carriage track stopped at a sate. I went through it pnd up to a small, low house, set in DT open place in the woods. I rapped on the door. "Now, if Bebe herself comes, what'U I say to her?" thinks I. But the person that opened to me was a gray, elderly man in working clothes. "Is Mr. Dacre in this house?!' says I. "Yes," says t.ha man. "1 want to see him, bad,"- says I. '"Come in," say.i he; "you look, about frozen, my boy." He showed me into a room that opened off the (r.try. There I found Mr. Dacre, sitting before a big fire. His light overcoat lay across a chair near him, and h-j held a cigar between his fingers, but it had gone out. At his feet a big mastiff lay s'eeping on n mat. Mr. Dacrertoolrc as ii' he had bern to a funeral. I went up to him and touched his arm. I put Miss Ange.'s ring in his hand. "Whero did you get It?" says he, and his voice.was amazing queer. "Miss Edith sent, it to you," says I. I thought he was going crazy. .He dragged me to the fire, chafed my hands, pulled the shoes oiT my frozen feet, and the man that had let me iu brought snow and rubbed on my ears, that were stiff as stakes, and the big dog woke on-^'.e mat, and rose with a growl to see whoi w # going on.

I wonder whether women are making the most of social opportunities. The elevating of social life is one of the greatest problems in our land! today and this ennobling work is., preeminently that of the average woman in every community who loves her fellowmen and women enough to try to serve them in humble service in that little corner of the great world Into which her lot has been cast. Could women not do something in the time that they now take for whistplaylng, which with many women has become a debauch, crowding out all noble inspirations and belittling life, usurping public spirit and civic duty, might they not more wisely spend that time in providing entertainment for the people of moderate means who live in your community? Could they not arrange to get the people together In some unused church pr perhaps in their own parlors and by friendly intercourse, led on by some Invited speaker, develop a better citizenship in'their community?

The little sparkling crystals of grapesugar can be seen on the pieces of Grape-Nuts.

He stepped up to examine it when other guests entered, and Just then Muller came in, welcomed them and told them that the box contained an invention which was a secret^and no one was to pry into It. "A music box," whispered one guest. "One of those singing machines that have recently been invented," said another "Max Muller has doubtless made an Improvement." "We shall see in time what It is," remarked a third. After an hour spent in chat Mr. Muller clapped his hands for silence and announced that he would now exhibit his machine. "I shall ask questions of this.machine," he said, "and you shall see that ft will answer me and answer me correctly." Then he asked his first question and turned the crank.

For the answer It la necessary to go back to the days of the NTorwamftn and Saxons. In thft—^ viking ships the warriors hung the "bords," or shields, on the side of the •hip above the places for their oars. The viking himself held the steer oar, which was fastened to the right hand aide of the stem. Thus the right hand aide of the ship became known as the steer side, and as the bords of the warriors were hung there It was called the "steerbord," or starboard side, while the lower, or lurking side, became the larboard. Bord eventually became corrupted Into port.

Cynics find in these revelations matter for many caustic diatribes pertaining to the conversational and listening powers of the sexes.
