After picturing to him the countless privation's and dangers they were certain would be incident to traveling through thejgreat wilderness, which constitutes the larger part of the Republics that border the Caribbean, they declared it would be {tempting; Providence to venture among the rutn- Hesa enrages who inhabit the forests and llanos [watered by the Orinoco and Its affluents. So jgreatt however, was his desire to visit this llttleknownfMtrt of the world that he determined, in npiie ot the dlfflcutttes and dangers predicted, to make at least the attempt to accomplish his longcheftshed purpose. &e.has always been glad that he paid no heed to the horrible forebodings that were volunteered toy weU-meaning but ill-advised people. Had he ''done «04 lie would have deprived himself of one of jtha most delightful experiences ot his life. For, •outside of certain discomforts inseparably connected with roughing It In the wild, the entire trip jwa* on* of agreeable surprises and unalloyed •pleasure. And, In lieu of bloodthirsty savages aeehdag to transfix him with poisoned arrows, He found, the Indians all along his route to be not •only harmless, but hospitable and obliging, indeeA eep)e' of the most pleasant recollections he *ia«of tis wahdertags'In the wilds of Venesuela *i»4 Colombia is the kindly treatment he invariably! eaeeived at the hands of the children of the forest. j ¥These, observations, says a writer In the Pan- ^Vmerican Bulletin, have been suggested by a work which has recently been published In Berlin on the Indians inhabiting the region between ithe.flio Negro and the Yapura. It is by Dr. Tbeovdor, ICoch-Grunberg, a distinguished German traveler and ethnologist, and is entitled "Zwel Jahre luntec den Indlanern" (Two YearB Among the ln- Mlsjns). It has appealed to us in a special maniner, not only on account ot the mine of information It contains regarding the manners and customs of the various tribes of Indiana which the author visited during his two years' peregrination^ in this Comparatively unknown part ot the world; not only on account of its. numerous and valuable illustrations reproduced from photographs which constitutes so valuable an aid to the right understanding, of, the narrative, but also, and chiefly, because the doctor's experiences among the red"mm of'the regions visited were almost iaentical with bur own In othor parts of the continent. H it was in August, 1903, that Dr. ivoch-ttrunberg reached the little town of Sao Pelippe on the Upper Rio Negro. Using this place as a base, he iproceeded without delay to explore Its western alifluents, the lcana, the Uapes, the Curlcuriary, and their chiel tributaries, and to study the manners, customs and languages of the divers Indian tribes that live on or near their banks. After spending nearly two years among these people, some of whom never saw a white man before, he returned to Manaos, near the mouth of the Rio Negro, by way of the Yapura and the Amazon. He was well equipped for his work, which for him was ever a labor of love. He had previously accompanied Dr. Hermann Meyer during his ex- Bloi-ation of the Xlngu in southern Brazil, and had 'then learned*to admire the many notable qualities of the unspoiled denteens of the Jungle. Outside of a young Brazilian, of German descent, his sole companions during his long wanderings among many tribes—some of whom, he had been iwarned, were antropotagos (cannibals)—were Indians whom ha employed as norters and boatmen. : And.tMlMnH* inc^ hMtantet Whf t ar* known as IndtoThravoB <wlid~Ihdian*l who had little or no contsAfe wHh d»Ul#*tton.';t vkJut so ^omp^baly did h e S m fhe fl*C*5tlni^Bflhen^ tod af. feetioiof these simple, fondly peopfevthat' they at OIK£ fieafcrfhimiw one aithelf**™ and made jhlm f a ^ W h d l i f i l ^ i * ^ * * W W ^ " " i . i A n d ^ 8 ^ « 6 b ^ i a ^ , a * d 4 W ^ W l ^ ^dealints^wJth them that Ws reputation preceded, ffci«n from ,>tribe to tribe.

They are carefully swept every day and are, as the author expresses it, pelnllch sauber (painfully clean). The malokas are generally built on elevated ground, so that they may always be above inundations during the rainy season and near a stream of pure water. In front of them' is a clear, open space, and near by are clumps of plantain and banana plants and pupuna palms, while In the immediate neighborhood are plantations of mandioca and fields of maize. These afford them all the food they need. But besides these sources of food supply, they can usually find an abundance of fish in the rivers and a choice variety of game in the forest. The mother looks after the mandioca, which Is the Indian's staff of life in the equatorial regions of America, while the father procures the game and the fish.

At early dawn, about five o'clock, all take a bath in the adjoining river. Soon thereafter the '", women call to the first breakfast. Bach one puts , in a large earthenware vessel the remnants, warmed over, of the preceding day's meal. This consists of boiled fish, strongly seasoned with pepper, or game, together with a shallow basket hf> mandtocd cakes, placed in the middle of the •' heusi. The men now leave their hammocks, in - .wMoh tbey ensconced themselves after their hath, and aquat in a circle around the appetising repast prepared for them. After eating, each one washes his mouth and hands in preparation for the .dee- : aert. Large calabashes, filled, with refreshing and v jaourjahing mandioca broth, are then passed * acound. The women, so custom requires, eat after the men. Then all betake themselves to their daily occupation—the men to hunting and fishing, the women to their plantations, and peace- |uV stillness reigns throughout the entire village. tjnty a few old* women remain behind, and awing;; themselves Idly In their hammocks.

The cblef or head of this patriarchal community lives, with his family, in an apartment at one end of the.maloka. Everything is under his direction, and nothing of importance is undertaken without his consent and advice. Notwithstanding the large number of people living under the same roof, there is the greatest peace and harmony. "I have lived for months at a time," declares our author, "in one of theoe malokas and never have I, under normal conditions, witnessed any disputes or quarrels." It is, however, the moral conditions of the occupants of these communal lodges that impressed him most deeply. "These naked Indians," he asserts, "are as decorous as it Is possible for men to be. Their morality is on a high plane, although several families live together in the same room. "The woman plays an important role as the wife and counselor of her husband, but her influence is greatly augmented when she becomes a mother. She then enters upon her proper life work, for the care and bringing up the children are committed entirely to her unfailing love and devotion. i "From the moment of birth until it is able to walk one rarely sees the child without the mother. The two are practically inseparable. The 'baby' here "la ever tholobject of the same tender"affecF" tion as with us, and the older children, too, are never without their mother's special solicitude. I have seen a mother playing with and entertaining them for hours at a time. "The Indian woman is far from being the stupid beast of burden pictured for us by superficial observers. While the hu&band devotes his attention te the commonweal, the wife spends her time within the limits of the family circle. But along with the chief duties of the family she also assumes the chief rights. Her life is indeed one of toil and fatigue, but she thereby expands her faculties and brings her true nature to its full development. What, however, excited the author's greatest astonishment was their extraordinary honesty. The Ehrllchkeit, he teUs vs, "war verfiuffend." "I could have left all my trunks remain open and they would have taken nothing. Even pieces of printed paper which I had thrown away and bits of stearin that had dropped from my candle they always carefully placed on my camp stool. Speaking generally, the author does hot hesitate to declare, "The property of another is strictly respected. Never will an Indian sell the smallest thing, while in his keeping, which belongs to another without the owner's knowledge and consent, ami never will he accept payment «for another." Regarding the cannibals, against whom he had been warned when he was in Manaos, he assures us that "they were all as harmless and goodnatured as all*the other wild Indians with whom he came in contact." Having had such delightful experience* among these simple, kind hearted people, we can well understand that when the day of parting came the author found it difficult to tear himself away from those at whose hands he had for nearly two yeare received such unvarying kindness., and who had contributed so materially to the aucceaa of, his expedition. We are well aware that the account Vr. Koch* Grunberg gives of the copper-colored deniseaa of the South American forests is wholly different from that of most writers. But he la not alone In his favorable estimate of than. Those who know them beat, who have apeht the longest time among them and have had an opportunity of stttdytog them at close range, will find our authors descriptions and judgments correct as waff at,t*innetheUc.

An account is given of the results of the earlier experiments in selecting,. the highest producers as breedera without regard to any other, qualities ; than their trap neat, records. It ia shown that this plan of breeding failed to obtain any distinct improvement in flock production.' The experiments of the station to find out whether continued artificial incubation and brooding has a harmful effect on egg production are described. Ttfce *fect of inbreeding on egg production '4» discussed on the basis of extensive experimental records. This Is followed by a clear and simple explanation of a new plan of breeding which has been tried during the past five years, and which Is based upon the conception that high egg productiveness is inherited in certain "blood lines" and not in others, and that by a proper system of pedigree selection it is possible to isolate the high producing lines. The last section of the bulletin is devoted to an exposition of the gratifying eueeess wbieb has attended the application of this new plan of breeding to the station flock. Strains which have high egg productiveness fixed as a definite character have now been obtained and are being propagated at the station. FOR FEEDING TURKEYS ONLY Small V-Shaped Trough Elevated to Height to Allow Big Birds to Pick From Is Useful. b Often on a farm where turkeys are raised right along with the chickens and other poultry, it is desirable to feed them heavier than the other poultry, yet suitable means of doing so are not available without a fenced yard to separate- them, writes P. C. Gross -Of Ohio in the Prairie Farmer. In such --cases the following contrivance serves adifrirabiy: A small V-shajSMk trough, of immaterial length, is elevated by means of supports to a height that wltt allow the turkeys to stand on the floor and pick from it, yet be too high to permit the chickens and small fowls doing likewise. Three or four inches above the top of the trough a board, as wide as the trough, is attached fiatwise. This prevents the chickens from flying up and standing on the edge of the trough. The sides of the trough Trough for Turkeys. prevent the turkeys from reaching tho corn or other fed in the bottom of the trough. With such a trough the turkeys may be fattened right among the other poultry, and no feed wasted on the other fowls. Of course, the chickens will climb on top of the flat board, but from It they can not reach the trough.

Futl, the baker wlH get store leaves oregrvea t a t oat of a barrel of flour than lb* housewife wilL Further, more, hit greatest aim it to find means of increasing this number. Bight to-day with all things else equal, if bakers made all the bread oooauatd, including biscuit, the flour consumption in this country would be considerably lets than it is. Next, baker's bread costs more than home made bread! which necessarily hat its influence on the amount ated, and, if bakert bread were used exclusively, this fact would materially reduce consumption of that article of food. Also with orgsnited bakers dictating the price of flour as well ts of breed, a smaller average price can be expected for floor, and a higher price for bread that will further/lessen consumption and consequently output. However, what it probably more important than any of these is the fact that bakers breat1 is not as good as home made. It is not as palatable. It does not give the consumer the feeling tbst he is taking more good, muscle making, red blood into bis system as does toothsome home made bread. When bread ceases to tickle the palate, it will be eaten as a matter of duty instead of as an act of enjoyment—and duty is always performed homeopatblcaliy. The average baker's bread tastes like soluble tissue paper. I have bought bakers bread from all the bakeries of Louisville and IndianapoIts,and not one of them sells what I would term GOOD bread, bread that one is sorry to quit eating for other food to get a balanced ration. I have dined in cafes and hotels from New York to Kant as City, and not one oat of three served bread that one could really enjoy. In Louisville only two restaurants serve bread that is a pleasure to eat, and these two have their own bakeries, so probably do not try to gat qcanity alone. I have bread in my home, made by my wife that looks good outside and in, is toothsome and savory and, in the eat" lag tempts one to make a meal of it with sweet butter and a glass of milk. My wife is an amstenr cook, with only one years experience. Her equipment for making bread is a mixer, a gas range and an ordinary kitchen equipment, plus common aent* and a tendency to know the "why" of things, tihe learned to make bread from a cook book without any outside assistance whatever, and she has never made a failure of it. Any housewife can do the same. Such bread in every home because of its delicionsnew, will increase the consumption of flour. Some say we have sour bread. There is no excuse for this, and the reason of it i« thatmsny of the women still follow the old fashiomed all-night-and-half-a-day method of making bread* There it only one safe, sure way to make bread in a home and that is the five hour method. For the benefit of those who do oot poteess a good recipe for bread I will give the one used in oar heme. Bemamber, we use toft winter wheat flour exclusively. Very little spring wheat flour Is sold in Louisville. This secipt is for soft wheat flour, and the qaaaity of floor used would have Jo be.endttced, if the spring wheat is used, ft It universally claimed that bread ream spring wheat floor it better flavored THE PIHCIRET DISPATCH roausmnn avtar. eweta**Y *OB> UM vt HOY W.

YAK 8MITB& '*/ Few people realize the importahofof handling apples with care while picking, packing and marketing. Apples are braised very-easily, and' espedatty those- varieties-having a ten der flesh or skin. Braises mean not only an unattractive appearance, but a real waste or^'fruit by having to cut out the bruised tissue. Probably the greatest damage from braises, however, results Jfrom the fact that the bruises furnifch an entrance for fungus or rot spores. These spores, or "fungus seeds," are as .fine as dust and float in the air. If they happen to lodge on a bruised or broken spot on the apple,, they take root and grow and spread through the apple, causing it to rot. Wrap- Ping or covering the apple may not always protect it, as the spores may have lodged on the apple before it was picked. However, if the skin and flesh of the apple can be kept intact and not bruised or brpkcn, there is not much danger of the fungus or rot finding its way into the apple. 1 To prevent bruising, apples should not be dropped or thrown into a bucket, box, or barrel, and in pouring from one vessel to another care should be taken that the apples are as close as possible to the bottom of the vessel in which you are placing them before the pouring begins. Ms NEST BOXES PLACED OUTSIDE Convenient Arrangement Which Means Considerable More Room In the Poultry House.

The eggs are collected by raising the lid of the box^C, and the hens enter the passageway E at the door A.

He lingered over throwing It away, because for some reason of late Jeanette, had grown to intere^ him a good deal. But Grampell hates to break a habit: There were about six lines on the front page and "he tossed the missive away cheerfully. <Xt was eight o'clock when Grampell In. full regalia drew up at Jeanette's house and mounted the steps. The maid delivered her message as soon as she opened the door. "Miss Tripps,"^he recited, "said when you came you were to go to Mrs. Smith's if you, please/' MOh," said Grampell blankly. Then he decided that s h e must be dining oat. The only Smiths who gave dinnerr were^the-^lgernxra^a they lived 20 blocks away; Three policemen strained their voices shouting after Grampell'* taxi as he shot through the streets. He was host at the opera party and would be late as it was. Dashing up the steps of the Algernon Smiths, on whom he had not a calling acquaintance, Grampell was ushered in. From the dining room came the click and hum of a large dinner party. Presently Smith appeared. He was polite, but decidedly curious. Most evidently he could not recall having invited Grampell to dine. > Also Miss Trlpps was not there. ,._,, It Was very awkward. , Grampell had the consciousness that Smith would tell the servants immediately 1 on his departure to watch,the upstairs windows and the silver safe.

Go to your blacksmith with a ten , or twelve inch flat file and have five or six inches of the small end made into the shape of a sharp-pointed knife blade with one side of the blade flat and the other half round. Both edges of the blade must be sharp. Bend this blade to a crescent shape, with' the flat side on the inside of the bend. Put a good handle on and you have an instrument with which you can sit down to a tree and scrape all sides of it without moving. The diameter of this bend should be at least three inches.

As laying hens will always prefer a secluded place for a nest, this arrangement will be found excellent. The lid, when closed, prevents water from reaching the nests, and the eggs are taken out by simply raising the lid and reaching them with the hand. The bens can be shut out at any time by closing the opening to passageway at A, and more room is thus gained in the poultry house. The design was originated by J. C. Baker of Illinois. ADVANTAGES OF DRY FEEDING Idea Was Agitated Twenty-Five Years Ago, but Not Favorably Received— Now Being Revived. Of late years dry feeding is becoming quite popular, although It is not'a new idea lirthe poultry ranks. Fully 25 years ago the matter was agitated and adopted by some poultrymen, but as a general thing It was not favorably received. The arguments used today in favor of the dry mash and whole grain diet are, first, after becoming used to it fowls will prefer the ground grain dry to that which Is either cooked or steamed; second, it,is a labor-saving method; third, It Veeps fowls in a more healthful condition, and fourth, better fertility to the «ggs. At first the fowls will not take very kindly to the dry feed.* As meat scrap is mixed with.it, they will pick out all such, then. probably the cornmeal, or some may prefer the bran, but all of it is seldom consumed until the fowls become accustomedtott. Gradually they wlri ' e^^b'rt'^fcd more of it, f&ally - cleaning i^fcie. trough. ' - ' " " - • - - • > " ^ ; 2 ^ . , Another benefit Is tkatirfter eeitffp. a few mouthful* r they wfHi repaid>tv the drinking vessel and secure s^yejrtfl swallows of water, then back .again entire meal. It is asserted that me> water is consumed by dry-fed ft "* and as water enters so largely in the. composition of the egg, increased egg production should be the result. The method is a great labor-savef. It is possible to both feed and water the^stock In the same tlme« it' takes' to prepare the wet mash and feed it.

Kecently there has been much discussion In educational circles of the need "of men teachers In the higher grades, and aome effort has been made to attract them to the-work, without any appreciable results. There mutt be something about the calling of the teacher—eltier Its pecuniary reward! or its rang© of opportunities—that Is inadequate to attract and hold men who might take up this calling as a life work. The average man teacher uses hie position as a makeshift, a stepping-stone and means of livelihood while he studies for the law, the medicine or some other profession* says the SL Paul Pioneer Press. Usually the man teacher leaves at th* earliest opportunity for more flattering and lucrative fields of endeavor. It would seem that teaching would be the most enjoyable work for the student of books and of human nature, but the fact remains that men as a rule do not so regard It It must be admitted that the profession of teaching does not bold the financial attractions of men that axe offered In other professions. The years of preparation required, the constant study necessary, the Investment in books and other ex* penses make a severe drain on the teacher's Income, which is small at best If it be true that there Is a real demand for more men teachers, the chances are that the demand will be supplied when the compensation is made commensurate with the services rendered. The statistics of the fire department of New York show that at least 25 per cent of the fires in that city are caused by the careless use of matches and of lighted cigars and cigarettes. Is It not time that this awful risk to others by careless smokers should be taken account of by the law? It Is not a trivial matter. The tossing aBide of lighted matches and cigar butts without seeing where they land should be as much of a penal offense as bomb-throwing or Incendiarism. A careless cigarette, as far as known, caused the great fire in Baltimore, one of the biggest In the world's history and. wholly preventable. A careless match caused the recent fire in New York, with Its loss of valuable life and much loss of property—also wholly preventable. The careless user of a spark of fire Is an enemy of the public welfare and ought to be treated as each, we are as yet primitive in out outlook upon vital facts. A very pleasant prediction has been made by a college sociologist that the United States is due for war in 1930 and that this nation will be In the wrong, as probably by reason of Its wealth and importance, it will have become an international bully. He bases this assertion on the evidence of history. But to offset this are the facts that the direct rule of the people Is becoming more and more the national Ideal of government, and that with the people as a whole vitally In control, the peace sentiment ^will be stronger than ever. It is upon the masses, not the classes, that the horrors of war chiefly fall, and the element of self-interest will then be more engaged in the preservation of.peace than ever before in the history of the world. In the meantime, potential academic wars need sot seriously affect the national peace of mind- Proteseor von Waaserman has informed the Berlin Medical Society of amazingly successful experience in treating cancerous ulcers In mice with Injections of.s* preparation containing cosin, telliarranr and seleniuim. He says that after the fourth injection ulcerous affections almost entirely disappeared, and at the end of ten day* some of the animals _ were entirely cured.

Theodore Roosevelt is a candidate for the presidency. He says so himself. His letter replying to that of eight governors who urged him to accept the nomination was made public at the Outlook office Sunday night. Roosevelt's Letter. Gentlemen—I deeply appreciate your letter, and I realize to the full the heavy responsibility it puts upon me, expressing as it does the carefully considered convictions of the men elected by popular vote to stand as the heads of government in their several states. "I absolutely agree with yon that this matter is not one to be decided with any reference to the personal preferences or interests of any man, bufc purely from the standpoint of the interests of the people as a whple. I will accept the nomination for president if it is tendered to me and I will adhere to this decision until the convention has expressed its preference. One of the chief principles for which I have stood and for which I now stand, aud for which I have always endeavored and always shall endeavor to reduce to action, is the genuine rule of the people; and therefore I hope that so far as possible the people may be given the chance, tlirough direct primaries, to express their preference as to who shall be the nominee of the Republican presidental convention." Very truly yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Rebels Trying to Excite the Mexicans. Declaring that the United States is attempting to get control of Mexico and is behind the abuses against which they claim to be fighting, the Mexican rebels issued a proclamation addressed to President Taft. The proclamation was seized by Texas rangers before it had been given much publicity. The proclamation is in Spanish and was taken to the printing office bv Gonzalo Enrile, said to be the former Mexican consul at Clifton, Ariz, The proclamation i» a harangue addressed to the president, but in reality written to excite the minds of the Mexican people, among whom tt was to be distributed. To Widen Scope of State Fair. The state fair to be held in Detroit beginning September 1G next will be the first one in the country to have an industrial exhibit on a large scale where the various processes of manufacture in many varied lines will be shown in a practical way, so that a visitor to the fair will be able to get a liberal education in how things like cigars, automobiles, shoes, stoves, cloth and other common articles of commerce are made by the most upto- date methods. The idea was conceived a year ago by Secretary and Manager J. E. Hannon, of the Michigan State Agricultural society, but it was then too late to carry it out in time for the state fair last fall. Loop the Stste With Road. Looping the state with a $5,000,000 trunk road highway which shall skirt the shores of the upper and lower peninsulas, draw thousands of tourists and cause the building of a chain of first-class summer hotels, is a necessary step In placing Michigan in its rightful place as the leading summer resort state of the country, according to Michael McLaughlin, Brooklyn real estate man, who has joined the ranks of Michigan landowners. "Michigan has more lake front than all the other states of the country combined," said Mr. McLaughlin. "It is the logical summer resort for the people of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and.the middle south, Missouri and neighboring states and much of the territory of the east. "This is the day of the automobile and the time for the automobile is the summer. People who used to board trains and ride to summer resorts, where they would stay all season, now climb Into their automobiles and take more of a tour, visiting many places and spending a short time at each. Mayor Otto Sprague, of Owosso, who has served one term, has announced he will not seek re-election. Aid. G. Clark is a candidate for the place. A survey is being made* for an extension of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad between Iron River and Crystal Falls, a distance of 30 miles. John O. Xerr of Chicago, said to be the oldest postal employe in the United States, handed his resignation ilo Postmaster Daniel Campbell, after 62 years of continuous service. He is 84. Viscount Chinda, the new Japanese ambassador, made his first call at. the state department last Friday. A date will be set later for the presentation pf his credentisls t.o President Telt. Transcontinental railroads were ordered by . the interstate commerce ' commission to reduce their rates from -St. Loais 8.11^011^ Mississippi river transfers to D«&yer on Iron and steel bars Iron «3 cents to 62 bents a nun- 'dree pounds, and oil steel plates and The existing rates were-fixed by n Iron Works of Denver. WANT OLEO UNCOLORED HAPPENINGS * - ' » - ««v Dairymen Pass Resoluyon to That Effect, in Kalamazoo. Besides indorsing Flint as the place where the 1912 convention of the Michigan Dairymen'B association will be held, the following officers ^were elected by the dairymen at Kalamazoo: President, JVed V. Eldrilge, treasurer, tv. M. JBecbi*!, Caroj^Mrf rectors, G. H. BrowneU, Detroit;' & F. Ftary, Lapeer; Henry Rose, Fremont; Charles R. Webb, Chesanlng;,: Martin Siedell, Saginaw. Resolutions were also passed condemning the coloring pf oleomargine so that it looks like butter and asking that a law be passed which will make it necessary for oelomargarine to be sold in its original color only. In another resolution the inefficiency of the building capacity at the Michigan Agricultural college was pointed out and the state urged to make better provision for caring for the dairy department of the M. A. C. Michigan Death Rate Decreases. According to the annual mortality report compiled by Secretary of State Martindale, 37056 deaths occurred in Michigan last year, which is 1,841 less than in 1910. There were 6,852 deaths of infants under one year of age, or 18.5 per cent of all deaths returned to the department of state as having occurred last year. Acute anterior polllmyelltis, or Infantile paralysis, as it is commonly known in medical circle.8, caused 48 deaths during the past year. No comparison of previous years can be* made from the deaths caused by this disease as the year 1911 is the first in which the disease was segregated from the other diseases of the spinal cord. Secretary Martindale saj's that it is possible that some deaths from this disease may have escaped recognition, owing to the forms of return which are not sufficiently specific, in order that the chanceB of such omissions in__tha._future_may be reduced to a minimum, Secretary Martindale urges that all physicians use the accepted designation "acute anterior polliomyelitis" when., reporting this disease upon the certificate of death. As usual, tuberculosis was a great destroyer of life, 2,640 deaths resulting from this disease. The other principal causes of death were as follows: Typhoid fever, 532; diphtheria and croup, 437; scarlet fever* 196; measles, 196; whooping coughi 229; pneumonia, 2,670; diarrhea and enteritis, 1,487;. meningitis, 458; Influenza, 577; cancer, 2,035; smallpox, 5; violence, 2^333.

We gave* the Resolvent as directed, washed the head with the Cuticura Soap, and applied the Cuticura Ointment We had not used half before the child's head was clear and free from eczema, and it has never come back again.

"Well, if that of cuss is yere now we'uns Is sure in fer a fight," he commented positively. They rounded the corral fence on hands and knees, crawled into a bunch of bushes somewhat to the rear of the silent, desolate-appearing cabin, and lay down flat behind a pile of saddles, from which position they could plainly drsceru the rear door.

Then the eighth man—Hawley, without doubt—must be in the cabin. At the thought Keith's teeth clinched, and he had to struggle to control his passion. But no; that would never do; he must die* cover first exactly where the girl was located; after that they would attend to the curs. Before creeping back to the others, he made quick examination along the rear of the cabin, but could find no visible point of weakness. He tried to recall from memory the nature of the lock on that back door, but could remember nothing except an ordinary wooden latch. If he could insert a knife into the crack that might-very _£asilyJiG dislodged x t*-' V<v remedy applied to the sleeper ve been efficacious, as, an Instent later, another figure slouched into yiew, the new arrival rubbing bis eyes with one hand, the other «rqtehing a shert-oarreUed gun.

"Pricked you aa it was, didn't he?" "Opened the skin. Thought the cuss had given up, an' got careless. What's 'round to the west?" Keith's lips closed, his hand shutting hard on the knife. "Five, and another out m front; that leaves the eighth man inside. Bring our fellows up closer, and post them where they can cover those fellows asleep, while ! make an effort at breaking in here." Bristoe crawled back like a snail, and confident the others Would~db their part, Keith thrust his knife blade deep into the narrow crack and began probing atternhe latch. In spite of all caution this effort caused a slight noise, and, suddenly he started hack at the sound of a women's voice: "What do you want?

"Yes, dear," soothingly, "and it Is good to hear you say Jack, but tell me one thing—is any one else in the cabin? Is Hawley here?" "No, no! He left us early the first morning. I haven't either seen or heard of him since. The men have left me alone since we got here; have bad the cabin all to myself until tonight.

Resistance was useless, and the five, rendered weaponless, were herded back toward the corraL They all belonged to Hawley's outfit; one, a black-whiskered surly brute Bristoe remembered having seen in Sheridan. There was no time to deal with them then, and a "Bar X" man was placed on guard, with orders to shoot at the slightest suspicious movement The Indian, then, would be guarding the front of the bouse, and Sanchez sleeping inside. Well, the former could be left alone; his chance of escape would be small enough with Falrbaln and Neb on the opposite bank. Old Sanchez was the villain they wanted—dead or alive. With, this in view, and anxious to make a quick Job of It, the three entered the back room, and, revolvers in hand, groped their way across to the connecting door. As Hope had described, this had been securely fastened by a stout wooden bar. Bristoe forced it from the sockets, not Without some slight noise, and Keith, crouching down at one side, lifted the latch, "Keep down low, boys," he cautioned, ''where he can't hit you." With one quick push he flung the door wide open, and a red flash lit the room. There were two sharp reports, the bullets crashing into the wall behind them, the sudden blaze ot flame revealing the front door open, and with It the black outline of a man's figure. Two of the men fired in instant response, leaping recklessly torward, but were as quickly left behind In the darkness, the outer door slammed In their faces. Outside there was a snarl of rage, another shot, a fierce curse in Spanish; then Keith flung the door wide open, and leaped down the step. As he did so he did so he struck a body and tell forward, his revolver knocked from his hand. Rising to his knees, the dim light of the stars revealed a man already half across the stream. Suddenly two sparks of fire leaped forth from the blackness of the opposite bank; the man flung up his band, stagfgered, then went stumbling up the stream, knee deep in water. He made a dozen yards, reeling as though drunk, and fell forward, face down across a spit of sand. Keith stared out at the black, motionless shape, felt along the ground for his lost gun, and arose to his feet Bristoe had turned over the dead body at the foot of the steps, and was peering down into the upturned face.

Brochettes of oysters, sweetbreads, liver and bacon, or even very small fillets jat veal always look more elaborate than they are and please every one. Place on the skewers and broil, or bread and fry on the skewer, in deep fat, and serve still on tne skewer, the diner using a l'ork to remove the food, piece by piece. To serve escal loped artichokes, salsify and similar vegetables: After boiling as usual, trim and season and place on scallop shells or individual baking platters and cover with cream sauce. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and melted butter and brown in oven. Potato and meat balls: Take twothirds minced cold meat and onethird mashed optatoes, season with salt, pepper and chopped parsley- Bind with egg yolks. Flour the hands and shape into balls, roll in flour and fry. Various ways of cooking kidneys beside making into stews are as follows J Kidneys with bacon—Slice tbe kidneys and broil with the bacon and serve with sippets of toast Veal kidney saute, with onions— Slice the kidneys and fry quickly with butter. When done, dish and cover while frying the onions. Serve on platter, kidneys in center and onions for a garnish. Veal kidney minced on toast—-Slice the kidneys and blanch until tender, then mince with a fourth ae much \ ham as kidney. Cook a cup of mushrooms minced In veal stock, or White sauce. Mix all together, season and serve hot. Macaroni is growing in popularity f in American homes. Perhaps the following combinations will be a welcome change from the ordinary "au gratln macaroni." Macaroni with minced ham—Cook the macaroni as usual, then mix with cold, cooked ham chopped fine. Add pepper and enough white sauce, or stock, to moisten, and bake. Macaroni with pork saueage-Cook the macaroni and drain. Fill a baking dish with a layer of It and then a layer of the sausage. If the latter Is encased, skin and slice it. Add white sauce and bake twenty minutes.

ORIGIN OF INOtAN RUNNttS Came From West ladlee aad Thought by Many People as ft Most Profitable of Duek Family. (By ANNA GJLLLI9HKR, ObJe.) It Is only comparatively a few years since the Indian Bunner ducks made their appearance in America. They came originally from the West Indies, where, they have been raised for years, chiefly as egg-producers. They derive their name from their native land and racy, upright carriage. In color they are fawn and white, with yellow shanks and light-green bill; the latter being sometimes splashed with black. The body is long and narrow aad is carried in an almost upright position. Neck is lone; and thin, with finely formed head. The Indian Runner ia rather small, fully' matured ducks weighing from four to five pounds. Drakes from five to six pounds, live weight. But they grow very rapidly while young and are easy to raise. What they lack in weight Is more'than made up for in their other good qualities. To begin with, they are very proline layers; beginning when about six months old. Their eggs are vara white and a little larger than those of a Plymouth Rock hen. They are superior ia quality to any "It's very tragic," said young Mrs. Allison. "You know my Aunt Elvira?" The matron with auburn hair nodded. "The poor woman who was so 111 at your house last summer/' she said. "Poor nothing,** contradicted young Mrs. Allison, sternly. "There's nothing the matter With Aunt Elvira but imaginary diseases. She's so crabbed -^that-herown children won^Tttvewfl her, and she's so rich that her other relatives have to. She takes a private car down to Florida every winter and I had thought that Fred and I could make rather pleasant use of an invitation to go with her this year, because Fred didn't get any vacation in the summer. , "Well, my love, last week Saturday I positively dragged Fred home from the office to go out to the Country' club with me in the afternoon. I felt that m r system demanded the diversion and I didn't want to go alone. It was a horrid, chilly trip and our supper out there was miserable. When we got home this is the message written on Aunt Elvira's visiting card that met me In the hand of the maid: "'Dear Celeste—Fm sorry you couldn't take time from your pursuit of pleasure to comfort my tired and travel stained self. I'm going over to Cousin Emma's. Respectfully, A- tt'" Indian Runner Drake and Duek. duck's eggs that we have ever eaten, and as a rule, they bring higher prices In the market. The ducklings reach a marketable sice when about twelve weeks old. When forced, they will weigh ffcor to five pounds at two months. The meat of the Runner is of superior quality; fine in the grain* Juicy, and excellent flavor. Hotels and restaurants pay fancy prices for ducklings. The eggs are in good demand, ess*.

There Is no great danger of strong competition^ M _cpmjjarativeiy__few poultry raisers have taken up 4hi* branch of the industry, notwithstanding the fact that nearly all kinds of poultry products are bringing un» heard-of prices In the open market In summer, the Indian Runner when given free range will find the greater part of his living in the fields. But of course when being fattened for market, they need some grain. It would be well to say right here that for best Tftsults tbe grain should be either ground or cooked. PROVIDING GRIT IN WINTER The matron with auburn hair gasped. "But did you know she was com* ingr she asked. "Oh, no," said young Mrs, Allison, composedly, "not having, a sixth sense for her arrivals in tows. Its jest one of her little eccentricities, that's all!

When winter comes snd the ground freeses, or is covered with snow a good deal ot the time, grit must be supplied. Gravel or grit should he sharp, so as to both cut and grind. Smooth pieces of gravel will not answer the purpose. Gravel dug from a pit will make one of the best grits. When pounded into small pieces, broken crockery win make excellent grit, also. A little sand mixed with the other grtt is helpful, hut it will: not answer for exclusive use, not being sharp nor coarse enough. It you prefer, you can buy prepared grit from the dealers in poultry sup* plies, A good many people do this and a good many other people hay oyster shells with the belief that they are obtaining grit The hens nee: some of the oyster shells, as they suppfr the system with lime and carbonates, but they win not take the pace of grit They are too soft and digest rather than grind. Keep wen nUed grit boxes where the hens can rum to them at wffl during the wmter months and you wffl mud that they oonemno quite a lot of the material in a month's time. Pi* vising the grit to botes and allowing' the hens to help them serves is the best may of feeding ft.

Oftra (planting is first observed on the chart about February 15 of normal years, the first planting taking place fa Aouftfern Florida and Texas, Fifteen, days later corn planting is bbaerved in northern Florida, southern Louisiana and central Texas, and by May 16 the movement had progressed as far north as southern Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, central New York, northern Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota. The curves In the lines of the chart arte a elgniOcant feature. They indicate the result of influences exerted upon planting by topography, soil renditions, rainfall and latitude. Sometimes one set of influences prevails, sometimes another. Again, several combined influences may be counterbalanced, as It were, by one controlling Influence. For instance, the lines In western Kansas and Nebraska bend slightly northward, instead of abruptly southward, as would be expected la view at their greater altitude. Tbe counterbalancing influence In thUr case is believed to be the character of the soil which, In the -western* gtojcUon of these states.

TRAP IS EASY TO CONSTRUCT Excellent for Extermination of Rats, Also to Catch Rabbits a*d Other Animals. * •< (liy J. W. (JKIKKIN.) Set the trap over a barrel that is* partly filled with water, fasten the faUui£ doors so that they will not fall and lot the rats run through and around the trap fov several nighte— then pull out tho tail that holds the doors, and you will catch every rat that has visited the trap. Two boards ten inches wide and two feet long are uBed for the Bides; one board two feet long and one foot wide for the top; two boards ten inches wide and one foot and six inches in length for the bottom or falling doors. The falling doors should have tin fastened on the top side from where the pivots enter the Bides to the end next to the bait; this will prevent the sharp claws clinging to the board and climbing back, when the doors fall. „ . The description by letter is as follogs: A, bait; BB, on the dotted lines, shows the position of the falling doors when the game enters the lower part of the trap; CC, the entrance to tho trap; DD, the nailB that serve as pivots for the falling doors. I EE, nail-holes in which are the nails that hold the trap unset while the game are getting used to it. Tho bottom part of the trap—that which retains the game after trapping—! should be made of hardwood or should be lined with roofing iron or tin.

PREPARATION OF CELERY BED Plant Does Best in Moist, Mucky Soil and In Situations Where Water Supply Is Abundant. Sow celery in March, or beginning Of April in rows in fine, rich soil, and, if dry enough, press the Boil firmly with a roller or the back,of the spade. Keep the seed bed well watered, as celery germinates very slowly. Transplant from .Tune to August. * Celery does best In a moist, mucky soil, and in situations where plenty of water is abundant in the soil. It can bo planted in single or double rows, earthing up as it grows two or three times, and in doing this, care should be taken not to let the.earthy get into the heart of the plant When severe cold weather comes, take up and transplant solidly in a bed close together, and cover gradually with leaves, hay^or straw, as'nocessary to prevent freezing. The various ways of cooking ham, each tried by those who have practiced it, are too numerous to mention. Some steam the ham first, then cover with a coating of flour and water and bake in an open pan. Some boil the ham and finish In the oven and others soak the ham for two days in cold water and then roast on a spit over a dripping pan. It depends on the size of the ham and on the cooking range, and personal tastes. There are few eugar cured hams In this progressive age, so the mode of cooking must necessarily change and the flavor that was once given to the meat by long smoking after it had been steeped in honey or syrup, be added in the process of cooking. An excellent cook says she selects a ham weighing about twelve pounds. A smaller one is apt to have too much bone, with a goodly thickness of fat on one side, for a ham that is too lean will not be a fine flavor, and prepares it thus: Soak for twelve hours. Trim aawy the rusty parts from the underside and the edges. Scrub the whole ham with a stiff brush. Stick a few whole cloves into the ham and sprinkle over with pepper and light brown sugar. Make a paste of flour and hot water and cover the bottom of the ham with it, place in the baking pan skin side up and cook, allowing twentyfive minutes to the pound. Baste now and then. When done peel 3off the crust and the skin and dredge over lightly with flour. Put into the oven again until browned. If you have a savory roasting pan— one that has a close-fitting cover and oval bottom—you have the best possible means at hand for baking a ham, and you will not need to look at it after you have put it in the oven until it is done for these pans are self-basting. Wash the ham and dot over with the spice. Put in the roaster and add one cup of cider, sprinkle with sugar and put in the oven. California hams are small and sweet and just the thing to cook with cabbage If you are a real housekeeper and can have such good things and they are nice, too, when steamed. These little hams are sure to be very salty and will need to be soaked over night, at least, to freshen them. The writer thinks the best way to cook a email ham is in a paper bag, for then all the flavor and rich juices are saved. Prepare the ham. Do not forget the cloves, and if you are fond of spice, mix a little cinnamon with the Bugar you rub over it. Dredge the ham on the top side with flour, place in a cooking bag, seal, and fold over the ends. Add no water or other moisture. Bake a little less than the usual twenty-five minutes for each pound. Watch tho clock and do not cook too long. When done puncture the bag and drain the juice and fat into a Bmall howl. Set this aside until cold and you will have a cake of the finest sort of shortening, and the liquor, which is the real essence of the ham, may be thickened into gravy or used to season some vegetable dish. Serve the ham while hot and use any that remains when it is cold. You will find it hard to decide whether it, is best in the first state or in the last. & • • • • ' . : • " • i j * Flag indicate* Mall. 4 The carrier will hold the weight from ieZipptag off tat box when he takes «rat lowers tad leaves no mall.

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 have suffered untold agony. When I first began to have them I weighed 140 pounds, but they brought sae down to 110. "I went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief. So I suffered on, till one day, a woman doctor advised me to drink Postum. 8he said 1 looked like 1 was coffee poisoned. "So I began to drink Postum, and gained 15 pounds in the first few weeks and am still gaining, but not so fast as at first. My headaches began to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks—long enough, I expect, to get the coffee poison out of my system. "Now that a few months have pass* ed since I began to use Postum, I con gladly say that I never know what a neuralgic headache is like any more, and it was nothing but Postum that relieved me.

Some peopie marvel tbat a flock of 60 or more of these birds were seen daring tbe coldest days of the. present weather. This seems to be a phenomna worth oonsiderimg and out of the ordinary and many people believe it to be a sign of as early sprng. All Mite is based en the theory that robing go south or migrate. The fact ot tbe matter is that the robin red breast (Maxnla Mtfrateria) doee not migrate to snob as extent as It hibernates, or spends the winter ia seclusion in the north. There are a certain number of these birds that do fly sooth ieitb the approach of the cold, bnt this number is few in comparison to tbe total number that are here tbe year round. Dr. Bubnrt Ulark, graduate of Amherst college, John Hopkins university, and at one time instructor of biology of Olivet Hnivereity is tbe •tttuoxitj. /or the statement that robins as a rnie stay north in the winter months to a large degree. With the approach of winter, the robin leaven the op>n plfees in the Jields and around buildings and betakes him? self to the thick, feusby tract* of land that are generally common where are swamp lands. Here'be burrow* hi* way into tbe ^Innermost heart of tbe bashes and &vee preteeted by the thick brash, through the winter ntootbe. Now and than he makes hte sppenjajtea, for tno purpose of feeding ia the open place* J but invariaWy retarne to hie whiter home. This aotoonts tor people seeing them during the winter months to frequently. As for the appearance of the robin indicating w*rm weather or the approach of spring tbtt theory amount* to nothing, beoante the rob* ins are with us all winter.—Ex.

CAVKRLY, Pub. i P W C K N E Y . . - - MICHIGAN AVIATION NONSENSE. Why- should any aviator at this stage talk flying across the Atlantic in 30 or any number of hours? If he feels impelled to try a S.OOQ-mlle flight in a dirigible or an aeroplane, why doea he not turn westward, where there is plenty of solid earth to land on? There may be men somewhat foolhardy enough to attempt the flight from Newfoundland to Ireland. It 1B a sure and easy way of achieving passing notoriety and incidentally of committing suicide by drowning, says the New York World. There will be time enough to talk of crossing the ocean in an aeroplane when this continent lias been traversed by air without alighting. Back of this nonsense about flying across the Atlantic is the misfortune that the business of aviation has fallen so largely into the bands of showmen. They are interest- «d chiefly in doing "stunts" for the eake of the advertising and future gate receipts. It is becoming a Question whether practical advances will be made in the science of aviation in this country except the government take it up seriously for military purposes, as has been done in France. The suggestion of Prof. George D. Baker, of Harvard, head of the Drama League, of Boston, that American audiences should indicate their disapproval of plays and players by hissing, is received by producers with - disapproval, naturally, and is not likely to win much favor with the playgoer. The qualifications of the one who hisses must be examined before we will grant him the privilege, and not oven a certificate from the Drama League that such and such persons are equipped with critical judgment and are able to reach safe and sound opinions will bo sufficient warrant for a commission 'to hiss. It is imaginable that the tired business man might find most earnest and sincere objection to a play which was giving the Drama League keen intellectual J enjoyment, says the Chicago Tribune. It might be dangerous to commission them to hiss, and if the Drama League hissed a play which the tired business man was enjoying, it probably would find itself on its head outside the main door. The hiss will not help the drama uplift. Empty seats are the best protests againsCundesirable, bad or banal, plays. If the army gets more aeroplanes it will have to call them airplanes. At least the appropriation bill reported by the house committee on military affairs calls the things airplanes, and airplanes, therefore, are the only things that can pull money away from the public treasury—unless congress alters the wording of the bill. It appears that a sensitive representative from Texas objects to the word "aeroplane," and will not be satisfied with anything less than "airplane." which he says means the same thing. In the interests of the simple life, by all means call the things airplanes. , France is soon to have the first aerial regiment ever organized. Not all the members can, for the present, take .__lhfl_alr-.ai..once, but an-approprlatlon Is to be asked for buying enough aeroplanes to bring the total up to 1,000, of four different sorts. The yearly cost of keeping this service efficient is estimated at $4,000,000; the cost in lives is not so easy to reckon. That St Petersburg is rapidly growing in population is evidenced by the census taken in December, 1810, which showed the population, including certain suburban vilages formerly not covered, to be 1,907,708. It tf pre? eminently an "office town" and also a seaport for six or eight months of the year.

This enables American shippers to send goods direct to this port without the delays of trans-shipment in foreign ports. ' * "* A Kansas professor thinks that troduced into QurioUegjaa, He Is quite right in his criticism Umt, while we RAGE IS D M OUT Indians of Alaska are Rapidly Decreasing In Numbecs. AID OF CONGRESS IS ASKED Dr. Foster's Report Shows That Disease, Especially Tuberculosis, Is Making Great Inroads Among the Natives of the Northwestern Territory. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—The national bureau of education has asked congress for an appropriation of $70,000 for additional medical work among the natives of Alaska. Ever since the Indians of the western plains stopped going on the war path philanthropists have been at work among them seeking to decrease the death rate and to make the one time wirriors and their squaws and papooses observe the white man's safeguard against disease. The result has been that the Indiana within the United States proper are Increasing in numbers. The Alaska Indians, however, are In a pitiful condition notwithstanding the efforts of the bureau of education, which has charge of the work there, to aid them in every way. Alaska Is a long way off and the condition of the tribes there does not appeal to the residents of the .United States so strongly as does that of the Indians who are at the doorstep. It is said, however, that congress is likely to become alive to Its responsibilities and that the condition of the Alaska tribes will be materially bettered. Dr. M. H. Foster, past assistant surgeon In the public health and marine hospital service, has recently returned from Alaska, where he was sent to f make a survey of the health conditions of the country. His report has a good deal in it to make Americans, and members of congress especially, think on the duty of this country to !ts northwestern wards, many of whom are suffering physical disabilities because of the encroachment on their country of the "white master." Population Rapidly Dwindling. In the report of the bureau of education it is Bald that no Indians at a,ll will be left in Alaska in sixty or seventy years unless the government at once takes vigorous measures to check disease among them. Dr. Foster in discussing the decrease In the native population says: "Owing to the usual lack of vital statistics In a pioneer country such as this, the exact facts on which to base an opinion have never been available and most of the statements have been mere conjectures. At Sitka accurate records have been kept by the churches, and they show that for a period of five years and seven months the annual birth rate has been 72.3 per thousand and the annual death rate 85.4 per thousand. During this period, wtth 8-n estimated population of 400, there were 29 more deaths than births. "The returns of the United States census bureau show that in the last 10 years there has been a decrease in the total Indian population approximately equal to 14 per cent., or 1½ per cent, per year. This corresponds very closely to tho rates as figured at itka, and they may be taken as indicating fairly correctly the rates for the whole country. The death rate In the United States varies from 7 or 8 per thousand to 35 per thousand, depending upon—the locality-.- An average death rate may be placed at 22 to 23 per thousand "The very unusual mortality In Alaska, S5.4 per thousand, Is to be attributed largely to pulmonary tuberculosis, and unless it is checked in some way it will result in the extinction of the natives in 60 or 70 years. Fortunately, it is counteracted to a certain extent by an unusually large birth rate, but the birth rate will probably decrease as time goes on." Not Easy to Treat. Congress has been asked to establish a tuberculosis sanitarium in Alaska, a provision having been made for It in an appropriation bill which is now before the law makers. There is J a touch of humor, although it is a kind of grim humor, in what Dr. Foster has to say about the trouble of rendering medical assistance to Indians in their own homes. His words are intended to show the necessity for congressional action on behalf of a hospital to which natives who are seriously ill can be transferred for treatment In his report Dr. Foster says: "Under present conditions the Indians copses- on, child-rearing should be h>( rcannot be effectively treated in their ^..__j ,_. ;•-.„ „_-,i — o w n fconvs except for a few minor complaints.

He left some strychnine tablets with explicit directions thnt one was to be taken every two hours. The brother of the sick man despite these directions, reasoning that if one was good, more were bet-' ter, gave the entire supply at one tlmW and the man died in a few hours." It Is hoped that before Jong an additions) corps of doctors and nurses can be sent to Alaska who will act as medical missionaries. Aaron Burr's Cousins. A paragraph in a Washington paper says that Senator Page of Vermont "has a grandson who on his mother's side is a cousin of Aaron Burr." if Speaker Champ Clark were asked about this matter be probably would say that to be a cousin of Aaron Burr may carry a certain amount of distinction because of the blood relationship, but that Aaron Burr's cousins are like the blossoms of the apple tree in May in a record breaking fruit year. Speaker Clark has been a great student of Aaron Burr's life. In a way, and perhaps heartily, Mr. Clark is something of a champion of Aaron Burr, a sincere champion because the speaker, it is said, thinks that Burr was accused of a good many things of which he was not guilty and that he was a man too much abused for faults which he had not committed. There are men who think that if Aaron Burr had not killed Alexander Hamilton many of the animosities against him would not be in existence today. There are other men who say that the dislike of Hamilton's ideas of government, held hereditarily by politicians of today, are responsible in a measure for the championship of Burr by men who otherwise would not have loved his memory so much if they did not hate the memory of Hamilton's political and governmental views more. Many Descendants of Edwards. As for the matter of Aaron Burr's many cousins, let it be said that Burr was a grandson of Jonathan Edwards, the great theologian, and one of the first presidents of Princeton college. Jonathan Edwards had ten Sisters, all of whom married and had large families. The descendants of Jonathan Edwards direct and collateral, today are numbered by the thousands and everyone of these descendants, of course, is a cousin of Aaron Burr who was Jonathan Edward's grandson. Some one not long ago wrote a story about the Edwards descendants direct and collateral. Six of these descendants, either grandchildren or grand nephews, were at one time presidents of colleges. It is possible that more men of the Edwards blood bold prominent positions in the world today than men of the blood of any other one American family. The name is not always Edwards, of course, for in fact the Edwards of the female line outnumber those of the male line perhaps twenty to one, but the descendants of Jonathan Edwards' sisters and of his daughters are just as much of the Edwards blood as are the people who bear the name. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt is a direct descendant of Jonathan Edwards and so it Is said is former President Eliot of Harvard. The Dwights have the Edwards blood in them and a comparatively recent president of Yale university who held the office for many years was a Dwlght and an Edwards. He, however, Is not included in the six college presidents who at one time held office and were of the Edwards kin The most recent Yale Dwight was of course of a younger generation. Army Worried About Horses. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of stafi, United States army, who as a surgeon was stationed with a cavalry regiment in the southover the growing difficulty of securing good horses for the service. General Wood and some other officers with him say that the laws against betting on horse races in many of the states are responsible in a way for the growing scarcity of good horses for the service. It must not be understood that General Wood either personally or In his capacity as the ranking officer of the army- upholds betting. He stm*-} ply states what he thinks is a fact and deplores the effect if not the cause. When American cavalry officers recently went to England to engage in a contest of horsemanship, including high jumping, with the officers of cavalry regiments of European countries, they lost most of the events because it is said their horses were not the equals of those used by the foreign officers. August Belmont, who Is chairman of the American Jockey club, at & dinner in New York a night or two ago, pointed to the serious menace which threatened the cavalry and flejd , artillery branches of the United States army "in the depletion of thoroughbred horses by reason of a cessation tt racing." Mr. Belmont has suggested the formation of a nation-wide association to be known as the National Cavalry and Artillery Remount association, to be created from all ranks of sports and agricultural life with the center of the organization at Washington, to keep a register pt mares Inspected and found suitable for breeding remounts and artillery horses. Gen. Leonard Wood and Col. Theodore Roosevelt have expressed a willingness to become vice-presidents of the association. It is expected that inducements will be held out to horse breeders in all parts of the country to make a specialty of animals suitable for the army service. American Record Rides. There has been a general belief through the years that the foreign) cavalry horses were better than those of America, and yet there are records in the United States service of long, hard rides, the horses-coming through" in good condition, which never have been equaled by men and horses of the foreign service,! The army has records of some of these rides and it fears today that the deterioration of the American horse may prevent their repetition if tho service should demand strenuous efforts on the part of the cavalry horses of the present and of the near future. U. S. TROOPS ARE RUSHED TO PEKIN LOSS IN CAPITAL ALONE 13 NOW PUT AT $25,000,000—CHAOS PREVAILS. ANCIENT T O W N L I T T E R E D W I T H HEADLESS BODIES. Hundreds of Squares of Houses Have Been Burned—Gates of Forbidden City Were Also Burned. A strons detachment of United States troops has been ordered to proceed to Pekln from Tien Tsin immediately, according to a dispatch received from that city. Chaos prevails throughout the ancient city of Pekin, and is spreading all over northern China, as a result of renewed rioting, resulting in almost complete anarchy. The military mutiny, incendiary fires and the pillaging of soldiers, coolies and outlaw bands, are the leading features of the terrifying situation. The damage that was done brought the estimate of aggregate loss in this city alone up to $25,000,000. Hundreds of squares of houses have been burned in the city, and the historic market house, one of the ancient landmarks, is in ruins. The gates to the Forbidden City, where the imperial palace is situated, were also burned. President Yuan Shi Kai has troops patrolling the principal streets and cannons have been planted to protect his official residence. Many missionaries hav5 been slaughtered by the mutineers in Pao Ting Fu, according to a report received in Pekin. It is thought probable, however, in well informed circles, that only one or two have been killed. It is believed they'are Roman Catholics. The foreign ministers, after a /:onfeience, have decided to bring into Pekin all the available foreign troops (10,04)0 J stationed in adjacent ports in China. 100 DEAD IN MUTINY. Revolting Troops Leave Pekin Burning Loaded With Loot. Martial law was declared in Pekin following: the departure of the mutineers in President Yuan Shi Kai's aimy, who marched southward shortly laden with loot. Nearly a dozen fires were raging in the northern part of the city and soldiers .were trying to g;et the blaze under control. It is feared that the. entire northern district will be burned out, Dynamite was used without avail,, American and others foreigners are still refugees in their various legations. The American legation is crowded a,nd orders have been issued tor all foreigners, to remain secluded until quiet is restored. President Yuan Shi Kai was military dictator of the situation and expressed hope of establishing' tranquility, He said that troops would be .sent to g;ive battle to the muttners. NPTA QUESTION FOR COURTS Americans Asked to Quit Mexico. President Taft and cabinet are preparing a proclamation urging all Americans to stay out of Mexico during the present revolt. The real significance of the proclamation is the offi-, cial recognition of the fact that the' insurrectionary movement in Mexico has attained to such proportions as to cause it to be regarded as fairly balancing power and influence with the Madero government. For that reason its issue is likely to be regarded with strong disfavor in the City of Mexico. NTo sucli proclamation was issued during the Madero revolution. LATE WIRE BULLETINS.

When my hands first started to get. sore, there were small blisters like water blisters which formed. They Itched dreadfully, it just seemed as though I could tear the skin all off. I would scratch them and the skin would peel oft, and the flesh would be all red and crack open and bleed. It worried me very much, as I had never- _. . had anything the matter with my skin. I was so afraid I would have to give up my employment. "My doctor said he didn't think it would amount to anything. But It kept getting vwrse.

"It's the Indian," he said grimly, "Sanchez must 'a' mistook him fer one of us, and shot the poor devil." And Sanchez himself la out yonder • oil that caDd-»U,".-aBd Keith pointed; ihen lifted hiB voice to make it carry across the stream. "Come on over, •aqctor. you and Neb. We've got the Bring that body out there with you." |e "Bar X" man waded out to and the three together laid the I4lp{d Mexican outlaw on the bank, besrtle the Indian he had shot down in his effort to escape. Keith stood for a moment bending low to -look curiously intb the dead face—wrinkled, scarred, still featuring cruelty, the thin lips drawn back ffia snarl. What scenes of horror those eyes had gazed upon during fifty years of crime; what suffering of men, women, children; what deeds of rapine; what examples of merciless hate. Juan Sanchez!—the very sound of the name made the blood run cold. "Dead or alive J" Weli» they had him at l a s t - dead; and the plainsman shuddered, as he turned away. Taking Fairbain with him and hastily reviewing late occurrences to him, Keith- crossed over to the corral, realizing that their work—his work—was not wholly done until Hawley had been located. With this quest tn mind he strode straight to the black-bearded giant who had guarded Hope from Sheridan. MWhat ia» your name?" he asked sharply. The man looked up scowling. "Hatchett/* he answered gruffly. "WeU. Hatchett, 1 am going to ask or two, and advise you Just about as straight as you I am in no mood to-night rifshaeas. Where 4a 'Black ? ley?** "How in Jell should 1 know?" •You do know, just the tame.

"Net Wett now, Hatchett, listen to rae." and Keith's voice had in tt the cflck. of a steel trap. "You'll either iwer. and answer straight, or well you to that cottonwood In about .minutes. If yon want a chance miserable lile you answer have our way of treating your in thte country. Sit up, you where did Hawley go artttVrned4 tf.i*,. " fresh horsaaT* lines. As he ended he crushed the paper between hh/flngers, and walked away to the end of the corral. He wanted to be alone, to think, to decide definitely upon what he ought to do. Hawley, according to the schedule just read, must have left.Lamed alone early the day before; this night he would be camped at the water-hole; with daybreak he expected to resume his lonely journey across the desert to the Salt Fork. For years Keith had lived a primitive life, and in some ways his thought had grown primitive. His code of honor was that of the border, tinged by that of the South before the war. The antagonism existing between him and this gambler was personal, private, deadly—not an affair for any others—outsiders—to meddle with. He could wait here, and permit Hawley to be made captive; could watch him ride unsuspectingly into the power of these armed men, and then turn him over to the law to be dealt with. The very thought nauseated him. That would be a coward's act, leaving a stain never to be eradicated. No, he must meet this as His tone was full of good humor, and hid line smiling, yet somehow she felt her heart sink, an inexplicable r^ar finding expression in;ber eye*, "Uutr-but why do you: ipeed to !go7 Couldn't some a(f |the-otaers?" "There is a reason which 1 will explain later,", he said, more gravely. "Surely you can truBt me, Hope, and feel that I am only doing what it seems absolutely necessary tor me to do?" He bent down and kissed her "It will be only for a few hours, and no cause for worry. Good-bye now, until we meet to-night at the waterbole " The east was gray with coming daylight as he rode splashing across the stream and up the opposite bank. She watched him, rubbing the blinding mist from her eyes, until horse and man became a mere dark speck, finally fading away completely into the dull plain of the desert. CHAPTER X X X V I . The Duel in the Desert, Keith rode straight forward into the sandy desolation, spurring his horse into a swift trot After one glance backward as they clambered up the tude? steep bank, a glance which revealed Hope's slender form in the cabin door, his eyes never turned again that way. He had a man's stern work to do out yonder, and his purpose could not be swerved, his firmness of hand and keenness of eye affected, by any thought of her. His lips compressed, his fingers gripping the rein, he drove all regretful memory from bis mind, until every nerve within him throbbed in unison with his present purpose. He was right; he knew be was right, It was not hate, not even revenge, which had set him forth, leaving iov-9 behind, but honor—the honor of the South, and of the frontier, of his ancestry and his training—honor that But there was nothing, absolutely nothing—jus:, that seemingly endless stretch of sand, circled by the blazing sky. the wind sweeping its suriace soundless and hot, as though from the pita of hell; no stir, no motion, no movement of auything animate o- inanimate to break the awful monotony. Death! it was death everywhere! t e - aching eyes rested on nothing but what was typical of death. Even the heat waves seemed fantastic, grotesque, assuming spectral forms With every step of advance the brooding silence seemed more profound, more deathlike. He got to marking the sand ridges, the slight variations giving play to the brain. Way off to the left was the mirage of a lake, apparently so real that he had to battle with himself to keep from turning aside. He dropped forward in the saddle, his head hanging low, so blinded by the Incessant sun glare he could no longer bear the glitter of that horrible ocean of sand. It was noon now—noon, and he had been riding steadily seven hours. The thought brought his blurred eyes again to the horizon. Where could he be, the man he sought in the heart of this soil- Surely he should be here by now. If he had left the water-bole at dawn. Could he have gone the longer route, south to the Fork? The possibility of Buch a thing seared through him like a hot iron, driving the dullness from his brain, the lethargy from his limbs. God! no! Fate could never play 8uch__a scurvy trick as that! The man must have been delayed; had failed to leave camp early—somewhere ahead, yonder where the blue haze marked the union of sand and sky, he was surely coming, riding half dead, and drooping in the saddle. Again Keith rose in his stirrups, rubbing the mist out of his eyes that he might see clearer, and stared ahead. What was that away out yonder? a shadow? a spot dancing before his tortured vision? or a moving. living something which he actually saw? Ho could not tell, he could not be sure, yet he straightened up expectantly, shading his eyes, and never 4osing sight of the object It moved. grew larger, darker, more real—yet how it crawled, crawled, crawled toward him. It seemed as If the vague, shapeless thing would never take form, never stand out revealed against the sky so he could determine the truth. He had forgotten all else—the silent desert, the blazing sun, the burning wind—all his soul concentrated on that speck yonder. Suddenly it disappeared—a swale in the sand probably—and, when it rose into view again, he uttered-a cry of Joy—It was a horse and rider! Little oy little they drew nearer one another, two black Bpecks In that vast ocean of sand, the only moving. living things under the brazen circle of the sky. Keith was ready now, his eyes bright, the cocked revolver gripped hard in his hand. The space between them narrowed, and Hawley saw him, caught a.glimpse of the face under the broad hat brim, the burning eyes surveying him. Wtthan oath be stopped hl3 horse, dragging at his gun, surprised, dazed, yet Instantly understanding Keith also halted, and across the intervening desert tho eyes of the two men met In grim defiance. (TO BB CONTINUED.) The Eyes of the Two Met In Defiance. Vyi became a man, and now. now before Hope so much as dreamed of bis pur . pose—aye, and before be spoke another word of love to Hope He wheeled about fully decided on hi* course, his duty, and met Fairbain face to face. "Jack," the latter said earnestly, "1 read the note over your shoulder, and of course 1 know what you mean to do. A Southern gentleman could not choose otherwise. But I've come here to beg you to let me have the chance." "You?" surprised and curious. "What greater claim on that fellow's life have you than I?" The pudgy Mnds of the doctor grasped the plainsman's shoulders "It's for Christie," he explained brokenly "She was the one he tried to run away with. You—you know how I feel." *'8ure, 1 know," shaking the other off, yet not roughly. "But it happened to be Miss Walte he took, and so this ts my Job. Fairbain. Besides, I've got another score to settle with him." He wasted little time upon preparations— a few brief words of tostructioa* to Brtstoe; a request to the doe* tor not to leave Hope alone; the extracting of a promise from the two "Bar X" men to return to Larteed with the prisoners. Then he roped the best horse in the corral, saddled and bridled him, and went Into the cabin She had a light burning, and met him at the door. "1 thought you would never come* but they told me you were unhurt. y "Not a scratch, little girl; we have i t left*"***? th* dirty aWaJtypapaF the man reluctantly extracted from ^^Sne^beif-aJfd MrWl « matehee w1s% Iferan hit eyee hastily over the jL'i.Y'-t - •*•• ' •* ' / ^idart bring thett t>«you; '» »pesy and Leavenworth/*. • « 0 4 do you h n o w 7 t - , ' r . r ^ f t ^ •, "He writ me a note t^hda.^suder been a lucky bunch.

And he rode smiling, gladly, as to a tryst, now that he was at last alone, tree in the desert The -flours passed, the sun rising higher in the blazing blue of the sky; the horse, wearied by the constant pull of the sand, had long since slowed. down to a walk; the last dim blur of the cottonwoods along the Fork had disappeared; and the rider swayed in the saddle, the dead ilfelessness of sky and desert dulling his brain. Yet he had not forgotten his errand—rousing constantly from lethargy to sweep his shaded eyea about the rounded horizon, keenly marking the slightest shadow across the sands, taking ad* vantage of every drift to give him wider viewpoint, rising in bis stirrups to scan the leagues of desolation ahead. Twice be drew his revolver from out Ita sheath, tested It, and slipped in a fresh cartridge, return* lng the weapon more lightly to us place, the flap of the bolster turned back and held open by bis leg. The sun beat upon him like a bail of tire, the hot sand flinging the blase, back into bis face. He pushed back the upper part of his shirt and drank a swalkrw of tepid water from a canteen strapped behind the saddle His eyea ached with the glare, until he saw fantastic red and yellow shape* dancing dirtily before him.

Pearson of Charlevoix, protesting against the scheme of Chicago sanitary authorities to divert 10,000 cubic feet of water u second from the water of Lake Michigan into the Chicago drainage canal, was unanimously adopted by the house. The protest on behalf of the people of the state, as verified by the house/ will be wired to the secretary of war. Gov. Osborn sent a communication to the house urging that action be taken. His letter was accompanied by a letter of protest from Mayor William E. Hampton and the Charlevoix Board of Commerce. Rep. Pearson, in introducing the resolution, declared that if the plan was permitted by the war department every Lake Michigan port would be injured, that the current of warm waters would be allotted and the big fruit belt of Michigan would suffer.

The evidence was conclusive, and the judge charged the jury accordingly, bnt a verdict of "Not Guilty" waa promptly brought in. The judge was astonished. "Gentlemen of the jury," he said, "this is your verdict, not mine. On your conscience the die* grace will rest. Many repetitions of such conduct as yours will make trial by jury a horrible farce, and the city of Victoria a nest of crime. Go! I have nothing more to say to you." And then, turning to the prisoner: "You are discharged. Go and sandbag some of those jurymen; they daserve It" Brother Dickey Explains. "I got no sarmont ter preach today,'' said Brother Dickey.

An excellent method of grading apples Is described by Ray Malcolm In the Farm and Fireside as follows: Make, a trough, mounted o* legs, with a receiving box as shown In Grade the Apples. drawing. Cut two holes, one larger than the other, in trough. These holes grade the apples by letting small ones drop through first hole, second or medium ones through second hole, while large ones roll out at end of trough. The trough must be mounted' high enough so as not to tire the operator, for one person will have to keep the large and medium-sized ap> plea out of the email halo and the large out of the medium hole. This can be accomplished best by reaching hand under trough and knocking apples up out of the holes. Food Value of Fruit Here are a few facts worth considering. Baked apples are more nutritious than baked potatoes, and will produce more work. Dates, prunes, figs, apricots and raisins are dried fruits always available. Instead of looking upon them as merely supplemental to food—like confectionery— we should remember that they are really among the most healthful, pal* atable and concentrated of vegetable foods.

This Is one of the best worm destroyers for unthrifty colts and horses that we have ever tried: Mix together one pound each of sugar and salt; in this mix one-half pound of fine smoking tobacco, six ounces of powdered sulphate of iron. As a dose for a mature horse give a heaping tableapoonful In a wheat bran mash every morning for two weeks. Colts should be given la smaller proportion to size and age. A veterinary supply house advises the following remedy for worms In horses: Give a teaspoonful of powdered copper sulphate every morning in feed for three or four days, them give two ounces of turpentine In a pint of raw linseed oil. Feed soft feed and keep the infected animal in the stable while under this treatment. A veterinary physician, signing no name, suggests this treatment in an exchange: Clear the bowels by allowing the horse to fast over night and give in the morning two ounces of turpentine In a pint of raw linseed oil or gruel, followed 4* the course of an ] hour with a bran mash; repeat this for two or three mornings. Santosin in half or one ounce doses, made into powders, with linseed meal, may bo given to valuable horses for two or three mornings In succession, followed by a cathartic.

The demand for winter wheat flour ia^decreasing every year because of the fact that the people of this country are buying bakers bread. Now if everybody was to'CsS'the bakers product and not make bread or biscuits the consumption of flour would be far below what it is today Here is another point; the demand for bran and middlings is increasing every year on account of the increase of the dairy business. You can figure it out for yourself Mr. Con. aumer. ^ You can help by using winter wheat flour and making yonr own bread thus creating a demaud for the flour. Unless we sell the flour we cannot make the bran and middlings.

FIRE James Henry's Residence Destoyefl M Fire . WTih e farm house of James Henry near Lakeland was d&stroyed by fire about 5:30 o'clock Saturday morningr The fire Which is supposed to have resulted from a defective chimney, gained such a start before it was discovered that only a very small portion of the household goods were saved. Mr. Heury's neighbors promptly came to his aid and as the house was too far gone, directed their efforts toward saving thd outbuildings none of which were damaged. The loss is only partially covered by insurance. This is the second time that Mr. Henry has been burned out, t h e first fire occuring seveu or eight yea^a ago.

Ripon was attended by a good sized audience. The musical part of t h e program consisted of a selection by Miss Lola Moran entitled the "Old Red Cradle" which was sung by Miss Moran in her usual sym-| pathatic manner. A male tette, composed ot Messrs H. Swarthout, E E. Hoyt, A. Vedder and P. H. Swarthout sang "God Bless My Boy" which was well received by the appreciative"" audience. The "Heavenly City" wag the next number. This sacred solo was rendered by Mr. Thomas Garrity, formerly of Detroit. Mr. Garrity has an exceptional fine voice which he uses to the best advantage. Mr. J. C. Dinkel playplayed several sacred pieces on his graphanolo which those present thoroughly enjoyed. The above selections were w^ll rendered and those abseut missed a rare treat. Rev. Ripon took for his subject "This is That" and said that he did not believe in thj evolutionary theory- of "Darwin regarding the creation of man, He explained the Darwinian theory of evolution, and then said that the bible theory of the creation of man was the only theory worthy of the dignity of man, and then explained that everything that iB, is the outcome of that which has been. He quoted Solomn,'kThere is no new thing under the sun." His illustrations, which were mostly taken from the bible were apt and well selected. He went on to say,' that there are no trifles with God, because God sees things not merely as they are but as they will eventually become. H e sees them in rheir final state and we see them in theit beginnings. Rev. Ripon has a very fluent delivery, and is a rapid speaker, sometimes reaching the heights of oratory. T h e Cong'l church should be congratulated in having for their pap tor such a man as Rev. Ripon, whose theological training; enables him to give repeated bible illustrations which is always a source of enlightenment and inspiration to all. Mrs. C. S. Henry Mary S.

Keith did the *ame, his eyes peering across the .4 back of his animal. *• "Now," he said steadily, "when l I""*, count three drive your horse aside, 'wjftnd let go—are you ready?"

There was a grim smile on Ms lips, as if, as he pitched forward, he knew that, after he had been shot to death, he had gotten bis man. The riderless horses gazed at the two figures, and drifted- away, slowly, fearfully, Btill held in mute subjection to their dead masters by dangling relnB. The sun blazed down from directly overhead, the heat waves rising and falling, the dead, desolate desert stretching to the sky. An hour, two passed. The horses were now a hundred yards away, nose to nose; all else was changeless. Then into the far northern; sky there rose a black speck, growing larger and larger; others came from the east and west, beating the air with widely outspread wings, great beaks stretched forward. Out from their nests of foulness the desert scavengers were coming for their spoil. CHAPTER X X X V l l . M£ At the W*ter-Ho»e. Up from the far, dim southwest they rode slowly, silently, wearied | stillby the exertions of the past night, and burned by the fierce rays of thu desert sun. No wind of sufficient force had blown since Keith passed that way, and. they could easily follow the hoof prints of his horse across the sand waste. Brlstoe was ahead, bat 4 brim drawn low, scanning the-heri?on line unceasingly.

Five prisoners, lashed together, the binding rope, fastened to the pommels of the two "Bar X" men's saddles, were bunched together, and behind all came Neb, his black face glistening in the heat Suddenly Brlstoe drew rein, and rose to the full length in the stirrups, shading his eyes from the sun's glare, as he stared ahead. Two motionless black spocts were visible—yet were they motionless? or was It the heat waves which seemed to yield them movement? He drove in bis spurs, driving his startled horse to the summit of a low sand ridge, and again halted, gazing Intently forward. He was >:ot mistaken—they were horses. Knowing instantly what It meant— those riderless animals drifting dero* Hct in the heart of the desert—his throat dry with fear, the scout wheeled, and spurred back to bis party, quickly resolving on a coarse of ^action. Hawley and Keith had met; both had fallen, either dead or wounded. A moment's delay now might cost a life; he would need Fair* bain, but he must keep the girl back, if possible. But could he? She straightened up In the saddle as ho came spurring toward them; her eyes der I'd like ter take a look at, an' 1 reckon you better go 'long. The nigger kin com' up ahead yere with Miss Walte." She struck her horse, and he plunged forward, bringing her face to face with Brlstoe. "What is it? Tell me. what Is it?" "Nothln' but a loose hoss, Miss." "A horse! here on the desert?" looking about, her eyes dark with horror, "But how could that be? Could —could It bo Captain Keith's?" Bristoe cast an appealing glance at Falrbaln, mopping his face vigorously, not knowing what to say, and the other attempted to turn the tide. "Not likoly—not likely at all—no reason why it should be—probably just a stray horse—you stay back here, Miss Hope—Ben and I will find out, and let you know." "No, I'm going," she cried, stifling a sob In her throat. "It would kill me to wait here." She wa3 off before either might raise hand or voice In protest, and they could only urge their horses ln effort to overtake her, the three racing forward fetlock deep In sand. Mounted upon a swifter animal Falrbaln forged ahead; he could see the two horses now plainly, their head3 uplifted, their relnB dangling. Without perceiving more he knew already what was waiting thera oa the sand, and swore fiercely,'aporrtfcg Ma horee merciieaeUr, forgetful of a* else, eve* the girt, t» Ma latoafo feato* to a i l touch: the & • » ~ m « f r b t g g w t to do tMa hrauilf, to be privileged to kill him— but now he was the physician, with no other thought except a hope to save Before his horse had even stopped he flung himself from the saddle, ran forward and dropped on his knees beside Keith, bending bis ear to the chest, grasping the wrist ln his fingers. As the others approached, he glanced up, no conception now of aught save hip r*wn professional work. "Water, Brlstoe,' he exclaimed with closed eyes, over the whiter face resting on her lap, her lips trembling with the one prayer, "Oh, God! Oh. God!" How long he was at it, or what he did, Bhe scarcely knew—she heard the splash of water; caught the flash of the sun on the probe; felt the ha'lf conscious shudder of the wounded man, whose nead was in her lap, the dett, quick movements of Falrbaln, and then— "That's it—I've got it—missed the lung by a hair—damn me I'm proud of that job—you're a good girl." She looked at him, scarce able to see, her eyes blinded with tears. "Will—will he live? Oh, tell me!" "Live! Why shouldn't he?—nothing but a' hole to close up—nature'U do that, with a bit of nursing—here, now don't you keel over—give me the rest of that skirt." ....-..._ — He bandaged the wound, then glanced about suddenly. "How's the other fellow?" "Dead," returned Bristoe, "shot through the heart." "Thought so—have seen Keith shoot before—I wonder how the cuss ever managed to get him." As he arose to ms feet, his red face glistening with perspiration, and began strapping his leather case, the others rode up, and Bristoe, explaining the situation, set the men to making preparations for pushing on *to the water-hole. Blankets were swung between ponies, and the bodies of the4 dead and wounded deposited therein, Arm hands on the bridles. Hope rode close beside KeithT struggling to keep back the tears, as she watched him lying motionless, unconscious, scarcely breathing. So, under the early glow bT-the desert Btars, they came to the water-fioie* and baited. The wounded man opened his eyes, and looked about him unable to comprehend. At first all was daric, silent; then he saw the stars overhead, aa4 a breath of air fanned the near-by tire, the ruddy glow of flame flashing across his face. He heard voices faintly, and thus, little by little, consciousness asserted itself and memory struggled back into his bewildered Drain. The desert—the lonely leagues of sand—his fingers gripped as H they felt the stock of a gun—yet that was all over—he was not there—but he | was somewhere—and alive, alive. It hurt him to move, to. breathe even. and after one effort to turn over, he lay perfectly still, staring up into the black arch of sky, endeavoring to think, to understand—where was her How had he come there? Was Hawley alive aleo? A face bent over him, the features faintly visible in the flash of firelight. His dull eyes lit up in sudden recollection. "Doc! is that you?" "Sure, old man," the pudgy fingers feeling his pulse, the gray eyes twinkling. "Narrow squeak you had—going to pull through all right, though— no sign of fever." "Where am I?" "At the water-hole; sling you ln a blanket, and get you into Lamed tomorrow." There was a moment's silence. Keith finding it hard to speak. "Hawley—?" he whispered at last "Oh, don't worry; you got him all right. Say," his voice sobering, "maybe it was just as well you took that job.

Then he said JJbat be did nek know whether tuey.arefe Koosevelt policies or Taft policies. His uncertainty as to the proper name was due, he said, to the fact that long before he had any thought that one day he might be president of the United States he was thinking along lines of what he considered to be proper public policlee, and wondering if e»er they might be given^ legislative .effect. While wondering he found, out that another man was thinking along the eame lines and also wondering if his thoughte might one day take the-form oi legislation. The other maft, Mr. Roosevelt said, was William it. Taft. As the story came from Mr. Roose- "relti he entered into a correspondence with Mr. Taft, exchanged views and opinions and found that they were identical.

The refusal of the house of representatives to incorporate in ths fortification bill the appropriation of 1150,000 for a site for a coast defense on Cape Henry was a sharp disappointment to most of the good Virginians in the house, ta a good many army officers and unouee* ttonably to the entire population of the tide-water section of the Old Dominion. Fort Monroe today has the safety t>f several American cities In its keeping. It is the outpost defense Of Washington and Baltimore, and with Fort Wool it stands as a sentinel keeping watch over Norfolk and Richmond. The army men and the Virginians think that a third sentinel Bhould be posted, but congressmen have taken issue with them. Across the mingling waters of Chesapeake bay and the ocean lies Cape Charles, whose rough coast Is visible on clear days to the gunners on Monroe's parapets, but if what has been said by supposed experts is true, no projectile which the big guns of the fort can hurl ever is likely to prove effective against battleships steaming into the channel close under the Charles promontory to make the run up the waters leading to the capital. The forts at Cape Henry southward across the entrance to the inland waters, army men seem to think, would nearly perfect the system of defense, but the proposal for a Cape Henry fortification is only one of several plans which have been made from time to time to complete the defenses of the harbor, bay and river. Hints at 8elfl«h Interest. There wa.s a plan first to buiW fc fort on Cape Charlea itself but later this was changed in fartir of a plan to plant big guns on a half submerged Island midway of the entrance to the Chesapeake, This plan was considered by congress several years ago, end there were hints that some selfish interests were connected with It, but no one ever made a direct charge, and there never was any proof advanced of what were but whispered insinuations. It seems to be the full belief of many army officers that one day an additional fortification in the vicinity of the Virginia capeB will be authorized by congress. As things are now It Is said that a foreign fleet with a pilot deserving the name on board the leading chip, could slip into the Chesapeake under cover of a haze while the shore artillerymen, no matter how watchful, would know nothing of the movement until there waB no target to fire at, but the broad wakes of the invading vessels. Fort Monroe is said to be a bulwark of defense In itself, but it seems even to the layman that the picture drawn by some of the congressmen of a capital laid waste by the guns of a foreign fleet, or by troops which had secured a landing back of the present fortifications, is drawn with a free hand guided by a freer imagination. If vessels should succeed in getting by Fort Monroe they would have a hard time getting up the Potomac river, for below Washington the Potomac's channel is safe-guarded. Make an Easy Target. Pictures also have been drawn of the demolition of Richmond and Norfolk by hostile guns. It would seem tnat the Virginia capital and its seaport might be able to rest in confidence that no foe can come up the water to their troubling. The main ship channel at the mouth of the James Is within easy great gun range of the parapets of Fort Monroe, and the gunner who could not hit so fair and confronting a mark as a battleship or a cruiser at double the distance would be discredited after one pushing of the' electric button, and his place would be taken instantly by a man able to drive every projectile home— for the army is not worthless, there are many such men In the artillery ranks. If the marksmen at Fort* Monroe should happen to fall In their gunning there is perhaps little chance that their brother artillerymen at Fort Wood would fail In theirs, for the enemy that would attempt to force a passage of the James would almost brush the mntf!e* of the smaller fort's guns. Artillerymen have occasional chances to test their skill. A government tug tows red triangular pyramids made of cloth stretched on a framework of wood across the line of fire, while the men at the big rifles peg away at the targets drawn through the flee zone at a ten knot gait. In order to make a bit it. is not necessary "to hit," for If it Is found that the shot has made Itself "effective" In space fore and aft of the target, not greater than that which would have been covered by the battleship, a hit is credited. It seems to be a fair system of marking, and ja the only one used by the land and sea artillerymen of the world when firing at moving marks. ^. v Hits at Commerce Court Representative Thetus WJlrettt Sims of Tennessee is the. repre» seatatlr* in . congress . who,. intrc* duced ths bin to abolish ther conmdsce court.

But she didn't object to accompanyhim aB far as Schenectady. '"'*' "*i— ' iia-aaiin itmm NOT SO FAMILIAR. Carrye—l*o you love; art for art's sake? Daley—I beg your parlan, but hia name is Arthur. FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY Where the Winters Are Cold and the Snows Deep, Writing from the vicinity David Harum made famous, a man says that he was an habitual coffee drinker, and, although he knew it was doing him harm, was too obstinate to give it up, till all at once he went to pieces with nervousness and insomnia, loss of appetite, weakness, and a generally used-up feeling, which practically unfitted him for his arduous occupation, and kept him on a couch at home when his duty did not call him out. "While in this condition Grape- Nuts food was suggested to me, and I hegan to use it. Although it was in the middle of winter, and the thermometer was often below zero, almost my entire Hying for about six weeks of severe exposure we£ o s Otaftttsts food with a little hi da* luaflttstelB a cup of hot water, till I * » • Wise enough to make Ppstum my tatts beverage. "After the first two weeks I began to feel better and during the whole winter I never lost a trip on my mail route, frequently being on the road 7 or 8 hours at a time. "The constant marvel to me was bow a person could do the amount of work and endure the fatigue and hardship as I did, on so small an amount of food. But I found my new rations so perfectly satisfactory that I have continued them—using both Postum and Grape-Nuts at every meal, and often tbey comprise my entire meal. "All my nervousness, irritability and insomnia have disappeared and healthy, natural sleep has come back to me. But what has been perhaps the greatest surprise to -me is the fact that with the benefit to my general health has come a remarkable Improvement in my eye-sight. MIf a good appetite, good digestion, good tye-stght, strong nerves and an active brain are to be desired. 1 can sty from my own experience, nee Grape-Nuts and Postern."

That is all there is to extensive farming Drive some strong pointed irons in the bottom of your ladder before they slip and perhaps cost your life. If a man woula lead a contented life, he must keep on good terms with bis stomach, hin conscience and his wife. Often it takes lumpy ground years to get over one time of working it when too wet. You can't afford it. You need every foot of your land. An excellent spring tonic after sevejral months of hanging around the fireside, is a good sawbuck, a sharp saw and a pile of hard wood. fhe revival of the good old cue torn of cooperative killing of hogs, beef, and sheep among neighbors would solve one cause of the high cost of living so far as the farmers are concerned. Some thlnghs smell worse the more yon stir them. One of these is a polecat,the other is a neighborhood quarrel.

The expression, "Faithful work It always of the same size," appeared in a recently published article. It opens a world of thought to those who pause long enough to consider Buch matters, besides offering a generous share of comfort and encouragement to those who sometimes grow disheartened at th« apparent result of their efforts. It is true that the world is not always as appreciative as it might "be, but then while the world has a big heart and, as a rule, a kindly disposition, It does not always show Us appreciation at the moment, says the Charleston News and Courier. It is Just this apparent lack of encouragement that makes us lose heart at times and wonder whether after all it is worth while to do our b e s t The big things in life «eem to take up so much room In the publio eye that the smaller and Just as worthy matters are crowded o u t At least that 1B the Impression which many persons form who s e e the effects of large efforts, whether they be along constructive, or charitable or educational lines. In a way these effects are spectacular; Indeed there is a large proportion of mankind who require brilliant effects to make them display Interest In passing events. The quiet, unobtrusive worker Intent upon results be accomplishes more than upon the Impression he creates in overlooked many times, and after a while the want of attention given him and t h e lack of encouragement offered him find expression in hie attitude of growing discontent towards life. English contemporates may be assured that the king will have a cordial welcome should be come t o America, but to those who profess to believe that America lost its head, so to speak, in the presence of t h e king's uncle we beg to say that the visit of the royal Governor of Canada was met with a reception that was dignified, but not excessive, nsays the N e w York Herald. The reports that were sent to English papers were nearly all false, and i.othing in the duke's reception could in any way be compared with- the bootlicking and oily homage that is seen daily in London whenever any member of the royal family appears In public.

There is no doubt as to the stability of the poultry industry. The tendency In all of the large cities is toward suburban homes and the pursuit of rustic labors as a pastime. Poultry forms one of the most pleasant diversions for these small farmers, and the Initial stock must constantly be supplied. Any man who produces birds good enough to take premiums at the fall and winter shows and then advertises eggs and stock for sale, will meet with little difficulty in disposing ot them. Any business, by careful attention and intelligent management can be made successful and the poultry Industry is no exception. With a little careful reading any farmer can learn how to improve his stock and profits, and he will soon find that poultry raising Is a very interesting part of the farm work, as well as one which amply repays for the amount of labor and money expended. The slow steady growtH oT a flock of poultry is more to be desired than a large investment in fancy stock without previous experience. Study just what line of the poultry business is best suited to your local environment and then get to work and see what can be done with the proposi- LEGHORNS ARE BEST LAYERS None Other Found 8o 8tron0 and Hardy and Consequently Easy for , PouKrytnen to Raise. ' Leghorns live and are profitable longer than other breeds. Large hens ipuVonfat after the first year and do Jaot lay so well afterward. Leghorns lay well until four or five years old »and a Leghorn on free range will never •get fat enough to hinder her laying. | like all other fowls"they are at their best during the first and second years of their lives, but as long as a Leghorn hen looks bright and thrifty she iwfll lay profitably, says a writer in an exchange. This In a great measure offsets the fact that their bodies are loo small to sell well as dressed poultry, However the buyers here pay as much per pound for them as for any. 7 They~aTe accused of not laying aB well during the winter as the larger hens.

A mongrel hen might, in an oc caeioaal instance, lay as many eggs as one that is pure-bred; but the flock will not live up to the standard set by the pure-bred fowls. Pure Breeds. We keep all the way from 150 to 250 chickens, divided into six flocks. We prefer a pure breed to a cross or mongrels, says a writer in an exchange. There is more money in them, and a flock uniform In color adds very much to the appearance of a farm. Our breeds are Buff Plymouth Rocks and White Leghorns. A Convenient Roost.. A good roost is a 2x4 scantling, placed broadside over two 12-inch boards. These two boards form a platform which catch the droppings, and these are worth from 75 cents to a dollar a barrel. Do not place the roosts too high, for the hens will jump, and in so doing will have leg weakness or perhaps bumblefoot. I h r e r t b ^ ^ * . I Young chicks may be kept dry and warm. The early broilers always command the best market. Little chicks will not thrive if penned in a small enclosure. A hen heeds nearly seven times more fresh air in proportion to her size than does the horse. Selecting the hens according to their laying qualities is to some poultrymen a hard proposition. Any one keeping poultry must, of course, have houses to protect them from cold or stormy weather.

The flowers aio improved by the introduction of occasional petals in a crepe silk in the same colorings. Fig. 2 is a beautiful model in hemp and silk combined. It is developed in many varieties as to color. The model in gray braid and oerlse silk is finished with a narrow band of feathers and a pair of wings in gray. Two covered buttons add a pretty touch to this tailored hat. It ia very soft and extremely becoming; a simple hat possessing much "class." JULIA BOTTOMLEY. CRULLER PARTY GREAT FUN USE POWDER ON COIFFURES Parisian Idea Is Undoubtedly Pretty, But Is Not Likely to become Popular. in fact, and especially taffeta silk in changeable weaves, is the feature of the season. These and other hats are often trimmed with flowers made also of taffeta. Nothing could be better for a between-season hat, or for general utility mlljlnery. In Fig. 1 a hat in blue glase taffeta shot with vivid green, shows how effectively this fabric may be handled both In the body of the hat and In its trimming. The crown in this model Is made of four pieces set together with a piping of the silk. The under brim is covered with silk laid on plain and the brim edge finished with a double puff. SHORT COAT OF LACE AGAIN The powdered colffur* adapted to modem needs has madfe it3 appearance in Paris. While this ia novel 'it Is fcardly likely to be generally accepted. Tho powdered tresses are now drawn up loosely from tho sides to back toward the crown of the head, where they are built up, not too pretentiously, into colls and puffB, with tiny curls Boftehing any hard outline. When poised at the right angle the coils and puffs nave a very charming effect, and to hold them In place one of the fashionable jeweled bands is drawn round the head. Another version of the coiffure poudr© shows the waved hair parted In the center and simply drawn to the nape of the neck, where it Is arranged in a series of cells. Round the head as a finish there is a coil of twisted pearls, which claspB at the nide with a pearl cabochon. Some women are parting the powdered hair from the forehead to the nape of the neck and then arranging the tresses In shell fashion over the ears, the shell-like coils, being plaited with strings of jet or pearls. This style is very quaint and curiously becoming to the youthful face. Hair dressers and milling* in Paris, who work together in evolving new styles to harmonize with each other's art, are experimenting in ringlets and curls for daytime coiffures. With the present style of hat, which comes low on the forehead, extinguishing all signs of hair, something had to' be done to soften the hard, unbecoming line between neck and hat, and for this ringlets and little neck curls are again being pressed into serrtce.

Such fun as this created, especially to those who knew how, but were not permitted to tell, that a particularly fine design was destined to come out an unsightly mass or a too frail affair would be removed in pieces. A late arrival wa3 handed a plate of fearfully and wonderfully made objects and told to decide which was the best form and general appearance. The hostess had collected a number of suggestive advertisement such as a flour grill, a dish of crullers, a pall of lard, a cookstove. These were mounted on gray cardboard and passepartouted in plaid, making unique and attractive souvenirs. While the coffee was being made ready those who had chosen dishwashing were kept busy at the table. The dishes were large reproductions of the invitations and the favors were tiny coffee pots such aB come in doll sets. As the crullers and coffee were enjoyvd each one told a Joking story in some way connected with cooking.

Attorney James A.

I t certainly is worth while to "stop and think," and perhaps do a little more than "think" especially when there is being an unprecedented public expenditure of public money in an apparent extraordinary an j , shall we say, useless manner. The result of Attorney Greene's investigation, made from the Public Records of this County, are ijiven in summary below, and are startling to say the least The following is a summary of the uumber of Vagrancy and Drunk and Disorderly cases at the County 8eat for the first fifty days of this year, aud the approximate cost to taxpayers of the county for the same: Total number of Vagrancy cases, from January 2 to February 20, 1912, or a period of 50 days. „_ _.178 5\! .V John VanHorn and wife were Howell visitors Monday.

No elector shall be deemed a qualified enrolled elector who has not enrolled since August 1st, 1911. In many cases it will uot be convenient for an elector to appear before the board in person on April 1st and the law provides that an elector may enroll at any time by delivering in person or by mail, to tbe city or township elerk, or officer in charge of the enrollment book, a written request for such enrollment accompanied hy affidavit setting forth that he is a qualified elector and that it is his bona fide intention to affiliate with the political party with which he seeks to enroll. If a voter enrolls by affidavit on or before June 26 he will have the right to vote at the August Primary. A voter who has not enrolled either by application and affidavit or on an enrollment day (exceptas specifically provided) cannot participate in and will not be permitted to vote at a primary election. If a voter neglects or refuses to give the name of his party or if be has none, he shall not be enrolled by the enrollment board. In some sections, owing to looal conditions, voters have enrolled as "Independent" "Citizens" "Socialist" etc., who affiliate in state elections with some other political party. If such enrolled voter desires to change party affilatiou to Republican, Democrat Prohibion, etc., in order to participate in the August Primary he can do so only by personally making application on April 1st, and not by written application and affidavit.

Fact is, for the moment, it was the only thing I saw, Somehow, its splash of yellow there under the shaded lamp seemed to catch my eye and hold it. I screwed, my glass tight and examined the thing with interest. Nothing remarkable; just a tiny, oblong package, bearing curious foreign markings, its wrapper plainly addressed to me, but— HBy Jove! From China!" I ejaculated. jBomebody In far-off China sending xoe a present, with duties and charges prepaid evidently. "Anybody I know In China, Jenkins?" I asked. And to help him out, I Added: "Pact is, some chap's sent me a package, you know." "Xame on box, sir, perhaps." Said it offhand, just like that—no trouble of thinking, dash It all—never even Minked. Just instinct, by Jove! And there it was, nicely printed in the corner with a pen: Holand Mastermann, Government House, Hong Kong, China. I read it aloud—can't read anything, 'you know, unless I read it aloud—and looked at Jenkins inQulringly. But he came right up to the scratch; just seemed to get it from somewhere right out of the wall over my head: "Beg pardon, air; but think it's that London gentleman—entertained you at the Carlton when you were over the other side." Mastermann'. By Jove, so it was— ] began to remember him now, because I remembered his dinner, several of them, in fact, during the three years I had lived over there, acquiring the English accent—manner, you know—and all that sort of thing! Mastermann—oh, yes, I had him, now! Jolly rum old boy, but entertaining and clever—long hair, pink -wart on jaw! And, by Jove, I had promjBed him—promised him—what the deuce wai it I bad promised him? Let me see: he was something or other In the foreign office; yes, 1 had that—and tremendously interested in mummies and psychical Investigation and rum sort of things like that, and— f "By Jove!" I ejaculated, as it came to me., "And for that reason he wanted them to send him out to China," "Beg pardon, sir," put in Jenkins, "but think you had a letter with a Chinese postmark last week." He looked around at my little writing- desk and coughed Blightly behind his hand, "Was just a-wonderlng, sir, if it •night not be among those you haven't opened—there are several piles. If 1 rcigbt look, sir—" I nodded, Fact is, I allow .Jenkins much privilege, owing to long service. Then, you know—oh, dash it, he's so •original—so refreshing and that sort of thing—so surprising. Just as in this case, he thinks of so many devilishly ingenious, out-ol'-the-way sort of things! It was Jenkins' idea that I find out what was in the. box by just opening the dashed thing while he looked for the letter. Clever that, eh? Well, rather! So I unsheathed my little pocket manicure knife, cut the strings and removed the wrapper.- ^Inside was Just a little, straw-covered box with a telescope cover and inside the box, •wrapped in tissue, was a tight roll ttt bright red silk. That was all—not another thing but this little silk roll. It was. a wad as thick as three Angers and perhaps twice as long, tied with a bit of common string, ending in a loose bowknot. I pinched the roll gloomily. "If It's a red silk muffler, Jenkins, catch me wearing it, that's all!" 1 burst out indignantly. "Rotten bad form, It you ask me. I'd look like an out-and-out bounder!" Then I bad a horrible thought: "Or—or the Salvation Army, dash • it!-' Here Jenkins thrust a letter at me. "'Perhaps this may. explain it, sir/' he suggested. Sate enough, it was from Hong Koasv «ftd from that chap, Mastermann. Out there on special mission for bis government, he said. I don't •v w , * a a t *K was—nave* did- know, "v ifctacV for I skipped down to this ^^sgragraph, which I read aloud: • 1¾ f ^^vetrjmff of thote rare cigars you ^ ^ i M ' s V - l H s l - l r a t reminded tt« ttttfor 4a»JN^>6wit still unpaid * ' T T readihu* l«rj then I read It again. bv FRANCIS PDRKf ^ IM43STRAMONS ty MYWAiTtii* stantly, but seemed embarrassed for a reply. "Oh, I say, you know!" I urged him. He started to speak, then pulled up. His breath went out in a sort of sigh. And he just stood there looking at me, and looking kind of scared. Fact! Perfectly irreproachable service for five years; and now here, dash It, showing emotion and that sort of thin*:, just like—well, like people, by Jove! Gad, I don't mind saying I was devilish put out! I screwed my glass rather severely and he made another go: "I hope, Mr. Lightmit, sir, you'll try to pardon me, sir, but I— Well, indeed, sir, the mistake wasn't mine; it was the dealer's fault, you know, sir." "Oh!" Jenkins cleared his throat with an effort, his eyes rolling at me apologetically. When he spoke there was a tremble in his utterance, and it was rather husky: "Why, sir," he began in a low tone, "you told me to have your dealer ship this gentleman, this Mr. Mastermann, a dozen boxes of Paloma perfectos— your favorite brand, you know, s i r - ninety dollars the hundred." He paused, bis fingers resting tremblingly on the edge of the table. • "An error, sir, of the shipping clerk. He—" With a murmured apology, Jenkins paused to wipeJUs forehead. I saw that the perspiration had gathered in great drops. Tfien he seemed to gather himself for a resolute effort, his eyes fixing themselves upon me with the most extraordinary oxpres- Lion—kind.of half-frightened, half-desperate glare—-that sort of thing, don't you know. I began tp feel devilish uncomfortable and edged aw^y. And he made another plunge: ^Thjey sent him—" And, dash me if he didn't stick again! It just looked like he couldn't get past. But I encouraged him—Just like you have to do a horse, you know —and this time he got over: "They sent him a dozen boxes of 'Hickey's Pride,' sir, Instead!" Ho spoke in a low, choking voice and looked me full in the eye—the kind, of look you get when a chap's boxing with you, you know—that sort of thing. CHAPTER I I . An Ominous Discovery. I was puzzled. '"Hickey's Pride?'" I repeated thoughtfully. "I don't seem to recall that one. Do I smoke It often?" Jenkins seemed to gasp. "You? Certainly not, sir! Never!" the hair slowly rising on each side of my part. He bent close, whispering behind his hand, and I knew he had been eating radishes for dinner: "It's what's known in the trade, sir, as a 'twofer.'" "A 'twofer!'" I repeated, puzzled. "Two for flva, sir." Jenkins spoke faintly. "I'm sure I'm ashamed to mention to a perfect gen—" "By Jove, I know!" I lifted my finger suddenly. "I know now the kind you mean—big, fat, greasy-looking ones—the sort Vanderdecker and Colonel Boylston smoke over at the club." I shook my head. "Too jolly thick and heavy for me. So they're two for a 'V—eh? Oh, I see—'twofers!' By Jove!" A brand uew one, this—a ripper! I made up my mind to spring it on the fellows first chance—that is, if 1 could remember the jolly thing. I just looked at Jenkins' solemn face and laughed. "Oh, I say, Jenkins—hang the expense, you know!" I remonstrated In some disgust. For this London chap had given me no end of a good time, you know; and it's such devilish bad form—rotten, I say—haggling about expense when you want to make a come-back and do the handsome. I was jolly glad the mistake had happened. Just here I remembered the letter and went at it again, for I was keen to find out, if possible, if It was a muffler under the string. So I fixed my glass and read on: "Realizing what these cigars are. I have given them, from time to time, to friends of mine—and others.-Keally, I-don't think I ever had such unselfish, unalloyed pleasure from anything in my life. Gave one to a bus driver out Earl'a Court way—chap who had never been known to speak to man, woman or child in years, and, after-he. lighted it—well, my word! He opened' up and grew so bally loquacious I had t o g e t off. "Had been trying to get Jorglns, my chief, to send me out here again to China, but he was ever finding some. package came to the office, the first thing I did after I had tried the cigars was, to hand the old iceberg a box with my compliments. "Five minutes after, he came back, completely thawed out. Fact is, never saw him so warm toward any one. Asked me if the other boxes were to be given away outside. Said no; that his was the only box I could spare; was going to keep 'em all there at the office and smoke 'em myself. Never saw a man so moved—so worked up over little thing. Next day he sent me out here to China. left to write, horizontally; they mourn in white Instead of black, and they are awfully honest and pay their debts. "But there is one other point of difference still queerer: they wear pajamas all day, while we wear them only at night." Here I yawned. Always hate that heavy, historical, Instructive stuff, you know. If you have to hear it, gives you headache, unless you can slip off to sleep first. , \ So I reached the letteV up to Jenkins.. J "Just run over the res^ of it yourself, and see if he says anything about his present," I said, settling comfortably. Clever idea of mine, don't you thiuk? And I was just dropping my head to have a snug little nap—just a little forty, you know—when, dash me, II I didn't have another idea! Awfully annoying, time like that. Mind is so devilish alert, dash It! Always doing things like that; can't seem to get over it, you know. And this ripping Idea that bobbed up now and got me all roused up was nothing more or less than to untie the string myself and see what the thing was, See? "I believe, sir," said Jenkins, looking up, "the gentleman has sent you— h'm—has sent you—" "By Jove, a suit of pajamas!" I exclaimed, holding them up. It was neck and neck, but I beat Jenkins to It, after all! "Gentleman says, sir," continued Jenkins, studying the letter, "that his present of a pair of pajamas may seem surprising, but you won't know how surprising until you have worn them." "Jolly likely," { admitted, feeling the silk. By Jove, it was the finest, yet thinnest stuff I ever saw, soft as NO OBJECTIONS FROM TQNY "Lovablo Lljttle Ch*p" Probably Would Not HaVe ^Indqd a Succes. slon of *Tynn«!s. Being Sunday evening, and the races having taken place that afternoon, the trains were packed. In one compartment a little boy had been stndlng all the way, but before the journey bad proceeded much farther Mrs. Jones kindly took him on her knee. "Were you very frightened, dear, as we passed through the tunnel?" the gentle lady asked. "Not much," replied the little boy, shyly. "But I thought you trembled a little as I kissed you," remarked Mrs. Jones, who was not even middle-aged yet "And what's your name?" "Tony," same the answer. "Then you're a very lovable little chap! And how old are you?" "Twenty-five, ma'am."

Not bad, that, for a comparison; eh.t Caught the idea from a vase of fiHWllown roses that wore beginning to ehecTHh^lr petals there on the table. And on one^ of the blossoms was a little brown spider. Catch the idea? Suggesteo spider's web, you khowV "They're rather red, sir,'' Jenkins commented dubiously. Red? Well, I should say! My! How jolly red they were! We spread them under the light, and the red seemed to flow all over the table and fall from the edge. Why, they were as red as— I tried to think of something they were as red as, but somehow 1 couldn't fetch the Idea. I thought or red ink and blood and fireworks, but they didn't seem to be up to them at all. And a big, velvety petal that dropped from one of the crimson roses just seemed brown beside them. I was wondering whether the little spider was curious about the Jolly red color there below him. And just then Jjenkins' hand-went out and swept at the little thread. The spider dropped and shot into a fold of the pajamas. "I say! Look out*" I exclaimed as Jenkins made another clutch. "Don't mash the beast on the silk; you'll ruin it—the silk, I mean!" "There it goes, sir!" said Jenkins eagerly. "Over"Uy your hand." "No; by Jove; he's gone into a leg of the pajamas! Here, shake him out—gently now!" ^ Jenkins lifted the garment gingerly and lightly shook it. But nothing came forth^ ^ \ "Why don't you took In the leg," 1 said, "and see if you can s*o it?"

Mr. Taft'a managers on their fcmrt and Mr. Roosevelt's managers on Ihelr part are sending letters back and forth full of bitterness, Innuendo and other things which are not at all nice .reading to those who think that the fcluw la come for peace on earth even S«ong $oQtteian.fV The sam* thing Is Untvldtoc'e among th* Democratic toa'nagera. It must be said, however, (that until a few days ago the Democratic champions of the different party jcandidates managed, to keep the peace. Now, however, things have cfcangM and "Chargertre-goteg'^aek and forth, and the Republican camp land the Democratic camp look very ruch alike. Politicians of both parties here say Ithat history will repeat Itself and (that after the conventions are over the toen who are calling one another bamea will be found shoulder to Bhoulder working on behalf of the nominees no matter whom they may fee and wtyl be entirety forgetful of everything that they said tn the days preceding 4&e convention.

It was the beginning of the day of harmony, and notice Mr. Burton's honeyed words' as addressed to th*» friends of the other candidates in the convention hall: welcome the friendly rivalry of a^es from other states—from the great Empire State, the Keystone state,, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, 'V. .1 f o r # l t f Vtth Otrfo a broad.expanse ex Itenxilrjg In unbroken sweep^from old ocean to lho-UPP«rmoat.boundeQ.f t h e ^ r * ™ ^ ; ° * gwatesttff -inlahd seas.

The Daughters will gath- {er in their beautiful colonial memorial building before long to engage in their antroal struggle for the election of officers, and when that is over to drop animosities and to work for the causes which brought the organization Into existence.. Ono needs neither prose nor poetic license to speak of the delegates to these conventions as "fair daughters" for surely they are a body of comely women, and the shades of the forefathers that are supposed to float about the capital city of the land that they made, need not. fear that a flush will steal into their cheeks or a frown furrow their -ehadowy brows at the sight of degeneracy in their descendant daughters. When spring comes the guides In the capitoi whose duty it Is to pilot visitors about earn their daily wage with half the usual effort because the guided ones In large majority are the Daughters of the American Revolution. The guides who are obliged to talk themselves tired explaining things to the ordinary tourist simply walk ahead of the daughters and point to pictures or bast and the tongues of the daughters do the rest Show Their Birth. The Daughters gather from all the states in the Union. It was not hard the last time they were here to separate Into localities of birth and bringing up those who attended an afternoon service at St. John's Episcopal church. It was not a service for the daughters, it as Just a plain everyday evening prayer, and the daughters had dropped in to see the historic building from a pew view. The spirits ot their ancestors still dwelt within them. There were thbse from Massachusetts with the Ironside blood in their veins, and those from- Tennessee and Kentucky who In the person the old Covenanters live again. Then there were the Virginians, the New Yorkere and the- South Caroliniansdaughters, so to speak, of the old Wc^'Sfflrctaary a t Jamestown, towering Trinity and gray St. Michael's. At e^n*ohg in St: John's thfc daughters of "New England, Tennessee and Kentucky ,4ooked upon marble altar, cross and candle stick and apparently felt stirring within them something of the sternness of the spirit of their ancestors who struck hard-flsted blows at things savoring ot prelacy. True to family tradition and to the division line1 of things spiritual, the descendants of the Independent and Presbyterian sat bolt unright during the chanting of the creed. Their sisters whose ancestors had stood for church and king until they were forced to cut the bond and to help kick the king out of the partnership, made all amends for their companions' ritual and spiritual shortcomings, and knelt and stood, and even genuflected at times, in a good old high church way that Would have delighted Archbishop Laud. Rocky Boy Now Is Happy. Word came to the Indian bureau the other day that Ohief Rocky Boy and his Indians in the far northwest were satisfied with the home life, being contented and happy. Chief Rocky Boy onoe was very much in the congressional limelight. For years this Indian chief and his following had been wandering about the country, homeless, unable to hunt and doing little else but b§g for a livelihood. Finally congress took action and the wandering mendicants were given a place to live. Former Senator Beveridge of Indiana Is given credit for having done something for whose picturesque and «.*Oi». .

The hero of the Joke was a man who had married because the woman had much money, although no beauty. Naturally, after the wedding ceremony and the acquisition of the bride's financial resources, the hus- . band was never very attentive to her. Another member of the company in which the couple were appearing was, however, far more appreciative of the lady's charms, and proceeded \q make love to her In an ardent but stealthy manner. The grand finale came one evening "when the actor discovered the other man kissing his wife. The fond lover stood petrified with fear, and expected to be shot down the next moment. No such thing happened. The outraged husband only lifted his hands toward the celling with a gesture of intense surprise, and exclaimed: "Merciful heavens! And he didn't even have to!" butcher*. $7 l i g h t y o r k - : off. E A S T B r F l ' U L O . X.

OAVKKLY, JPub, PlNCKXUY, - - - MICHIGAN ENGLISH SPEECH FOR CHINA. As nobody knows even approximately the number of inhabitants in tbe *ast Chinese domain, so, perhaps, no- Tbody can gay definitely and positively ihow niany distinct dialects are spoken by U»e peoples of the different provinces. A recent authority puts the number at "over a hundred." So widely differing in many respects are many of these dialects that they constitute practically distinct languages. To endeavor to group, combine and stan- 4arize these languages Into one common speech for tbe whole empire •Would be a- work of many years and of immense difficulties. In fact, it would 6eem to be an undertaking involving greater difficulties than the Introduction of a complete new tongue. And It must be remembered that the official and educated classes are familiar •already with English. The language Is taught in the universities and many of the schools. It is the common medium of official communication with other governments. At the same time, the leaders of the new movement are enthusiastic frieudB of our country. If tbe republican movement shall succeed, that success may be followed by Ue transformation of the Chinese Into an English-speaking people. It was noted In these columns recently that the price of platinum in the New York market had risen to the highest figure ever reached—over seven hundred dollars a pound. All over the world the demand for platinum arising from the use of the metal in electrical appliances has made it highly prized, In connection with this subject a curious story comeB from Paris. It is said that a number of twentyfranc gold pieces forged in the reign of Napoleon III., have been found to be worth at least double their face value. This is due to the fact that in tbe alloy of which thes* forged coinB were made platinum was used. At that time platinum was cheap. A pound weight of It could be bought for a few sovereigns. The spurious twenty- franc pieces contain about six grammes of platinum each, and today these six grammes are worth about A crusade on "fads and frills" in the public schools of the city is to be started In New York, with_more thoroughness and less experimentation as its slogan. Everywhere there seems stirring this revolt against tbe excessive system of experiment to which the schools bare been subjected, with corresponding loss of thorough grounding In essentals. The educational the* ories of the present seem to share the prominent American craze for speed, more or less regardless of the risks involved in attaining it Tbe agitation, which appears to be general, will doubtless result In restoring the pendulum, which has swung too far In both directions of conservatism and progress, to its normal swaying. It's well to be clean, but if you wash your rugs with gasoline, be careful. A Springfield, Mass., merchant, who Is fastidious, had his office rugs scrubbed with gasoline and then gone over with a vacuum cleaner operated by electricity. Tbe cleaner collected gasoline fumes which were Ignited by an electric spark, whereupon there was an explosion and a blaze necessitating a call on the fire department That collision between a steamship in the merchant service and a United States armored cruiser In the harbor of Honolulu, in which tbe cruiser was eo badly damaged as to necessitate- immediate retirement for repairs, while tbe merchant ship steamed off apparently uninjured, might be cited as illustrating Kipling's assertion to the effect that the "weaker vessel" is the deadlier of the two. Prof. Worthington told a London audience that in order tc obtain pictures of what happened when a drop of water fell into a vessel containing water he had taken photographs by an electric "spark of the duration of three taiUtonths of a second.

The royal carriage was passing through the Plaxa of Veniza when a man who had been standing in the crowd which lined the curb, drew a revolver and fired point-blank at the king. The shot mussed its mark, but wounded Maj. Langa, commander of the bodyguard of the Royal Cuirassiers, who was riding at the side of the carriage. The man quickly fired a second and third shots before those who stood beside could overpower him. He was preparing to shoot again when lie was overpowered. The royal guard, who had been attending the king, closed in around the royal carriage and screened the king with their own bodies. So angry was the crowd that the assassin was nearly beaten to death before he was rescued by soldiers and -police. Men and women were tearing at his hair and stamping on him.

Trousdale employed the simplest sort of a ruse to balk the robbery. The holdup was staked ntar the Mexican border. Trousdale was recently promoted to his run from the San Antonio offices of the express company. One of the robbers, who held Trousdale at the point of a rifle In a corner, was ransacking the express car. "I'm not going to strap with you all," remarked^, Trousdale. "I'm not getting flghting""wages." "Oh, all right," replied the bandit. "Then YOU will have to help us get this stuff across the Rio Grande." "Why don't you pick up that package?" casually Inquired Trousdale, as he kicked at a. small box on the floor of the car. "It's worth more than all the stuff you've got." The robber stooped, deceived by the ruse, to pick up the package. Truesdale grasped a heavy mallet and struck. The bandit received the llow full on the head. He fell over, dead. There was no alarming outcry. Trousdale picked up the dead robber's gun and waited. Meanwhile the second of the bandits had been working on the car ahead. When he completed his job he hurried back to the express car. As his form loomed in the doorway the express messenger fired. The bandit tumbled to the ground, dead.

The premier announced that the joint conference had failed to bring about a settlement and explained that the situation was now op to the government. It is believed that King George has already approved the bill which may be introduced in parliament Tuesday if it can be wrought into shape by that time. The government, realizing that the full burden now rests with its machinery, will hasten matters as much as possible. - • . 180,000 Coal Miners May Strike.

I advise such treatment, especially for rough,*scaly bark on 0¼ trees; but if it be bark that has been roughened by the injurious action of soil sprays, or by burning with fire or some other injury, I am satisfied it would be wrong, because this Is the tender bark beneath just what a scab of an animal is to a sore which It is protecting. Therefore, if the bark beneath be tender, so that it would be injured by being scraped, it is best not to do it. In the case of an ordinary healthy tree It la certainly best, but at injured places, such as above mentioned, it is advisable to scrape gently, if at all. On an old tree one cannot apply enough pressure with a short-handled hoe or bark scraper to do any injury, and this will remove many insect pests, such as coddling moth, woolly aphis and certain hibernating creatures, and expose scale insects and other pests to the action of the weather, and of the, insecticides to be applied before the leaves appear. ulimwi mmniim n. , , ^ ,n ,,.11,,11 •'• • -r - « , ; , < , . . . . i 1 1 11 . .

JAPANESE PLUM VERY HARDY Will Grow on Almost Any 8oil and Do Not Need Particular Coddling— Come On Early. Plums of the Japanese variety are popular with most growers, particularly in the east, because they are hardy and come on early. Many of these varieties are the earliest in the market, and as they are always of good color, either cherry reds or light yellows, they sell readily and bring good prices. They will grow well on almost any kind of decenT~sofl, and do ntft need to be particularly coddled, although they should have all the care that any good fruit tree deserves. These trees were planted four years ago in soil from which pine scrub had ftbeen grubbed only a few weeks before. The trees are bearing well and show fine color and great vigor. These Japanese plums differ from ua&inv t h e d o m e 8 t l c varieties in that Its nAWPi-fieaves are longer, thinner and smoother, and it has a great tendency to produce lateral fruit buds on the annual growth, It's Crult is mostly short, round and plump. The Japanese plum is less liable.to injury from curculio and black knot than the domestic variety. Mr. Fulierton says that up to this time his trees have shown no signs of disease or attack from insects of any kind.

Johnny Smith may look all right in his made-by-the-dozen suits and so long as he Is clean maybe there is no criticism due him—but the mother with alert taste just can't bear her own child to look like any nice boy you see in the streets.

CURLS NO LONGER IN VOGUE Their Tremendous Popularity a Thing of the Past, at Ueaat for the Coming Spring. _ V Hairdressing is always rather a vexed question when the new spring bats make their appearance. Curls, which perhaps represented one of the prettiest types of coiffure which have been in vogue for a long tinse past, have simply died of a too^xtended popularity, and the pretty shining bunchee arranged so Imxsaculately by the hairdresser have ceased to exist for the well-dressed woman. That wt have all of at felt the loss of them there is no doubt, bat the preeeat fashion is even easier of manipulation that the carls. It rwjuiree, however, extraneous aid and consists of a roend frame covwred with hair, which is arts the form of a wide plait oft over i t The frame is pinned securely to the Head^^nd coils of the natural heir art twlated groond. ft, being held in place with the wide tortoise-shell pins of which ertry woman posoMiso a large aoppiy nowadays.

The cardboard is smoothly covered with silk sewn securely together at the edges, and then the piece of material which forms the pocket may next be sewn in its place; it should be lined with soft silk. But prior to doing this, howeveT, the floral design must be embroidered upon it, and this may easily be wprked from our illustra tion or some pretty design might be painted. The holder is entirely outlined with a silk cord ot a fancy pattern carried into three little loops at the top and bottom and again on either side. The holder can bo suspended from a nail in the wall by the center loop of the silk cord at the top. I.

Laces are more modish than Tor ages, and that is ono thing that makea them s o 0 valuable. Everyone wants lace for gowns, and even Imitations cost. Wo see lace on hats, on furs and on all kinds of gowns, Sometimes the lace is touched with chenille or embroidery, but for velvets it is generally used plain. The newest use for lace is putting it about the heads for young matrons, says the Indianapolis News, Young girls now wear their hair quite plain. The lace is mostly very open, allowing the hair to show through, and in some cases the hair is pulled through, much the same as mouaseline was pulled through the little interstices a few years ago. locks from the hairdresser achieve by far the prettiest coiffures. The simple Greek hairdressing, with the hair parted in the center of the head, and rolled up in a soft pouf, low down at the ears, with Just a knot or coil behind, is so pretty in the case of the girl who owns fair hair with a nat> oral wave in it, that it makes every artificially dressed head look unattractive by comparison. Such a coiffure pays all the debts which are owed to fashion by proving so infinitely becoming to the wearer. * ^ NEiWS O F MICHIGAN « .' s The use of peeJtfMaJa always per mlsslbie, prov quality and just able.

Here are a few facte about it The demand for winter wheat flour ia decreasing every year because of the fact' that the people of this country are buying bakers bread. Now if everybody was to use the bakers product and not make bread or biscuits the consumption of flour would be far below what it is today Here is another point; the demand for bran and middlings is increasing every year on account of the increase of the dairy business. You can figure it out for yourself Mr. Con. turner. Ton can help by using winter wheat flour and making yonr own bread thus creating a demand for the flour. Unless we sell the flour we cannot make the bran and middlings.

A tew years ago this question was debated, and some doubted the value of spraying. Not so now. Every one, whether farmer or fruit grower, has seen the results of spraying, and seeing is believing. The spring spraying is the most valuable one, for it cleans the trees up thoroughly just before they start tbe new season. The same thing that enables the large growers to raise perfect fruit will also help the smaller. When the largest growers find it necessary to spray, and thereby grow nice fruit, bow can any one deny that spraying pays? The trees will not even stay alive unless sprayed, and kept free from the scale, etc., and neither will the fruit amount to anything. The question is not "Doea spraying pay?" but instead is, "Shall I raise nice froit?" The Largest Growers Everywhere Use Rex Liwje and Sulphur Solution.

Here are a few facts about it. The demand for winter wheat flour is decreasing every year because of the fact that the people of this country are buying bakers bread. Now if everybody was to use the bakers product and not make bread or biscuits the consumption of flour would bej far below what it is today Here is another point; the demand for bran and middlings is increasing every year on account of tbe increase of tbe dairy business. Toucan figure it out for yourself Mr. Con. Burner. You can help by using winter wheat flour and making yonr own bread thus creating a demand for the flour. Unless we sell the flour we cannot make the bran and middlings. Now wears doing a good business and are not knocking our customers, but we could do more and so could any other mill in Michigan or any other state.

I queried. "Where Is 1 It JF I t . . it's it, sir," said Jenkins in an roice. "It ain't here." "Why, dash it, I .saw you strike the soaetv'right where you're holding that chdr." "Mr. Lightnut, sir"--Jeuklns spoke a tittle huskily and glanced around at me.queerly—"will you look under the end of this stick and see it: you see what' I see?" I clinibed down and examined cautiously. "Why, liy Jovo, it's- the little spider!" I exclaimed, surprised. "Exactly, sir; what's left." Jenkins took a deep breath. T h a n k you, sir—it's a great relief," be sighed. " E h ! " "I tne-an, sir, I'm glad I ain't the o*ly OH« who thought he saw that other, it's some comfort." Jenkins spoke gloomily. ' "Thought you saw?" I repeated. Rut Jenkins only shook his head as h« gathered up the remains of the^ spader and consigned them to a cus- -pfslor. "You meaa—say, what tho devil ds> you mean?'' I asked sharply. Jenkins straightened with air respectful but solemn. "Mr. Lightnut, sir," he began gravely, "there's a party lectures on the fttroet corner every night at nine on i k e fearful consequences of tho drink habit, and passes around blank pledges to be signed. J'm going to get one first chance; and if you will Accept It, sir—meaning no offense—1 woald be proud to get you one, too." I stared at him aghast. "6ft, I sa**now," I murmured faintly, "you don't think it was that, do you?" Jenkins' Tare was eloquent enough. T m through, sir," he said sadly. "When It comes to seeing things like lhat—" Ue lifted his eyes. "No more for ene, sir; my belief is, it's a warning— yes, sir, that's what, a warning." , 1 «»ollapsed into a chair. **By Jove, Jenkins!" I said, trying t o go n feeble smile.

They looked jolly rlghtJEEom. ever? point, Moreover, with all their easy looseness, there was not ah inch too much. They had a comfortable, personal feel. •"laicky ttfing they weren't made' originally for some whale like Jack Billings—eh, Jenkins?" I commented naming ly. Behind his hand Jenkins indulged in what is vulgarly known as a snicker. "Mr. Hillings, sir, he couldn't get o n e shoulder in 'em, much less a— Vfc—tag'," he chuckled. "They'd be in ribbons air!" I yawned sleepily, and Jenkins infttjsfitiy sobered to attention. He held his finger over the light switch as 1 peached a pillow and rolled over on t h e mattress. "Alt.right," I said; "push the jolly Using out." And with a click darkness feii. about me. •"Good nlg%t, sir,' came Jenkins* Tolce softly. ""Night," I murmured fnintlv, and l w a s off. Sometime, hears l«t$r, I awoke, and artttt a devilish yearning Tor a smoke. K often takes me that way In the I climbed out in the blackness and my way into the other room.

Jenkins himself popped into I lie room. "Did you ring, sii and advanced quickly. And (hen, before 1 could think about it to reply, lie halted suddenly, almost pitching forward. Then, witli a kind <>£ wheezy how], he sprang to the wall. Next instant, I was blinking under the dazzling electrolier. "Here, I say! Shut off that lie;ht!" I remonstrated, hall' blinded. I heard a swift rush across tlm rugs, and the next thing I knew 1 was roughly jerked from out my chair; strong lingers clutched my throat, and I found myself glaring into a frightened but. resolute face. "Jen-Jenkins!" I tried to gasp, but only a gurgle came. 1 was so taken unawares, I knew it must be some dashed dream. Perhaps another minute, and i would wake up. Hut he gripped me tighter and shook me like a rag. "Hay, who are you?" he hissed. "How did you get in here?" And then, of course, i knew that he was crazy. Whether he was crazy in a dream or crazy with me awake, I couldn't guess. It made very little difference, anyhow, for I knew that in another minute 1 should be either dream dead or real dead; and dash me if I could see any odds worth tossing for in either, you know. But I don't belong to the athletic club quite for nothing, and have managed to pick up a few tricks, you know. So with the decision to chuck the dream theory, I shot my leg forward with a mix-up and twist that made Jenkins loosen his clutch and stagger backward. "What's the matter with you?" 1 gasped, advancing toward "hint, "Are you trying to murder me?" Hut 1 was so hoarse, the only word that came out plainly was "murder.'' Jenkins uttered a howl. "Help, Mr. Lighlnut! Murder!" "You old fool!" 1 cried, exasperated. "Come here!" Ue was coming. He seized a light chair and swung it behind his head. Then he rushed me with a shout. "Oh, Mr. Llghtnut!" "(lone (dear off his nut!" was my thought. As he swung the chair, I ducked low, and man and chair went crashing to the floor. Hut he was up again in a Jiffy and dancing- a t me~ "Mr. IJghtnut, sir, why don't you help me?" "Help you—you jolly idiot?" I muttered indignantly. Then my voice raised: "I've a mind to kill you!" With a yell, ho made a kangaroo jump and swung at me again. "He says he's going to kill me, Mr. Lightnut!" he panted as I dodged again. "Help me—wake up, sir!" Wake- up? Wake up, Indeed, when 1 had never been so devilish wide awake in *all my life! i was sure now about that. I moved toward him cautiously. "Stop your row!" I cried angrily; "you'll have somebody in. Think 1 want the police up here?" With a glare at me, Jenkins darted past me to the bedroom I had just left. Its light switch clicked, and then back through the brightened doorway he sprang and dashed for a wall cabinet at the Bide, lie began tugging at its little drawer. And suddenly I i^membered the revolver there, an old forty-five from a friend In Denver—and loaded! My spring to Intercept him was quick, but not quick enough! Halfway to him f pulled up under the compelling argument of the long blue barrel pointed at my head. "Here! Look out, you fool—it's loaded!" I warned, backing away to the window. Jenkins advanced. "What have you done with him^-nev panted hoarsely. •Where is he-?'1' "Where's who?" I asked savagely, for I was getting devtlish tired of it all. Hut ttr tha puMletty, I should have yelled from the window. "Where's Mr. _Ughtnut?" he demanded. "Oh, he's all right.* I decided to adopt that soothing tone that I Bad read somewhere was the proper caper with lunatics. "Where?" Jenkins Insisted, pushing nearer. And dashed if I knew what to answer; for, if I made a mistake, It might be serious, by Jove! Perhaps some jocular reply would be s a f e s t - might divert his attention, you know. The open window gave me an idea. "Why, do you know," I said pleasantly, "I just chucked him down into the street." . It soolidsd like a cannon .cracker, that gun! Tne shower of splintered glass from the picture between the windows barely missed me. Out 1 never waited a second—for this last devilish straw was too much, don't you know, and something had to be "I've jus*t iiad enough of this, you fool!" 1 cried impatiently. "Jl-ere, take a good look at me!" I pushed my face closer. "Lojjk at me, 1 toll you!" Hy Jove, he shuddered! His eyes, wide distended with terror, rolled to the ceiling, "I can't," he whispered; "J just lie inquired, j can't anything hul that! Only, please •--pbjase don't kill me, too." "Kill you?" 1 said, irowuiiig sternly as lie gave a furtive glance. "1 cer- IDEAS FOR DESSERTS BY H E N R I E T T A D. GflAUEL, DOMESTIC SCIENCE LECTURER.

"All right, then," he said sullenly; "you may kill me!" 'J" he way with these lunatics, 1 thought. Next tiling, he would be begging and insisting That I kiil him. I motioned to the door of my guestroom and gave him a push, "In there," I said, "and keep perfectly quiet." And as he shot inside, I closed the door and locked it. 1 just had to take the chance of his hurting himself against the walls and furniture; 1 didn't believe he was so crazy he would undertake ihe six-story leap to the ground. Listening, i heard something like a sob. Then I caught my name. "Poor Mr. Lightnut," came chokingly; "the kindest, gentlest master!" And then more sobs and gulps. iJy Jove, under his insane delusion, the poor beggar was grieving lor me; not thinking of himself at all, you know. ] felt my eyes jfrow a bit moist, somehow, and all at once my heart went heavy. Thought how long poor old Jenkins had been with me— ever since I was out of college, you know—rive years—and remembered how devilish faithful and attached he had always been. Poor old Jenks! It Was awful Itts going off this way! I recalled how he had taken to seeing things, earlier In the evening, and had made me see them, too, dash It! One thing I determined: whatever had to be done with him, he should have the llnest of attention, I knew that I ought to telephone to somebody or something, but dashed if I had any idea who or where. Oddly enough, not a soul seemed to havo been roused by the pistol shot, but I saw by the little clock that it was close to three—the hour in a bachelor apartment house when everybody is ing to the operator. "I say, will you give me •information?'" A loud shout suddenly sounded from behind the closed door, and there came a frantic double-pounding of lists. "Mr. Lightnut- Mr. Lightnut!" screamed Jenkins. "Oh, Mr. Lightnut, you're back—you're alive—I can hear your voice! This is Jenkins, Mr. Lightnut; yes, sir, Jenkins. They've got me locked in ! " I flapped the receiver on the hook and sprang to the door, unlocking it, Jenkins almost tutu bled into my arms. Hy Jove, for a second 1 hung in the wind, he acted tro crazy still; at least, it seemed so just at first:. The fellow threw his arm about my neck and iaughed- laughed and cried, dash i t - a n d just wringing my hands and carrying on—- Oh, awful! And even when I got him into a chair, he just sat there laughing and crying like a jolly (dd silly, patting my hand, you know, and wiping his eyes, what time they were not devouring me. "Has he gone, sir?" be gasped husj kily. "Did he jump from the window?" Hut I waved all questions aside. "After you've had some sleep," I insisted. "Then I'll tell you the whole jolly story." And I just got him to his room myself, despite his distress and protests over my attention. "Thank you, sir, and good night," he said as 1 left him. And he murmured placidly, "I guess we're all right now." Hut I was not so sure as to him, when I viewed the broken chair and scattered fragments of glass—ominous reminders of the scene through which I had passed. And so, though I threw the pistol on top of a bookcase, I spent the rest of the night upon the soft cushions of "ray big divan. CHAPTER IV. Jenkins Declares for the Water Wagon.

I asked softly. A howl of positive terror came back. ' T m a-keeplng quiet," he cried, "but d a r t k l a t me hear your voice again, or 111 jump right out or the window."

Bonny-clabber is a delicious, healthful, and easily made dessert; it should be eaten as soon as made, beforo it becomes tart or tough, with cream and sugar. Put fresh skimmed milk into a glass dish, cover and set in a warm place; when it turns, that is, becomes a smooth, firm, cake like cup-custard, serve in the same dish. Cut out each, helping with a large spoon, and put in saucers, cover with powdered suf;ar, mixed with nutmeg, cover with rich cream or whipped cream. This is still better if net on ire for an hour before serving, but do not let it stand until it separates into curd and whey. Mountain custard or Alpine Junket was made years ago witli rennet; now there are lactic tablets on the market that answer far better for this purpose; they come in packages oi eight or (en, and one tablet will acidulate a quart of milk. They are highly esteemed by medical men. I To make the mountain custard, put one tablet in a quart of milk, season with vanilla or lemon, nutmeg and two tablespoons of sugar. Cover and keep in a warm kitchen; in a few hours it will be firm as tdanc-mange. Serve in the same way as the bonnyclabber. Thickened milk is an old-time dessert for the little folks in the nursery or for convalescents. Boil a quart of milk, add two tablespoons of cornstarch, wet with cold milk. Stir it into the hot milk and keep stirring while it gradually thickens. Flavor cream with vanilla and nutmeg; when ready to serve, sprinkle sugar on each helping and pour on the flavored cream. Cottage cheese Is one of the rewards that come to families who keep a cow; even so small a quantity of milk as a pint may be utilized in this wholesome article of diet. Use rich milk that is freshly soured; heat it until the whey rises to the top; pour this off, put the curd Jn a bag and let It drip withofit squeezing, When it has drained quite dry chop in a wooden bowl until fine grained; salt and continue working until like putty, add,a little cream and softened butter as you proceed. Mold into pats or balls and keep covered in a cool place. It is best when just fresh made. t Neufchatel cheese is made with sour cream to which a little salt is added; after it is well drained it is packed into a wooden measure with holes in the bottom and a snug fitting lid weighted down upon it. The weight must be heavy enough tQ-eempress t h e cheese so that'Vlieli it is removed, after several hours, it will be fine In texture, like'butter. This may be wrapped in oiled paper or cheese cloth and kept a week, or longer. Mrs. D. J.

Whipped cream serves for the dressing. Carronoil for Burns. No kitchen outfit Is complete without a bottle of carronoil. This is no new concoction. It is an old remedy, whose equal for soothing and healing burns has not yet been found. The preparation is sometimes found under other names, but can easily be made at home by mixing equal parts of raw linseed oil and lime water. An •emergency bottle should always be a t hand in case of danger from too close contact with steam or heat of any kind. Housekeepers in country districts where medical aid is difficult to obtain will find this recipe invaluable. Mother's Surprise.

FARM AND MX 1 WHAT "CROP ROTATION" DOES On© of Simplest and Most Practical Ways by Wtitch* Income o f Farm May Be Increased. RAISING ONIONS FOR MARKET Avoid New Land, Get Pure Seed and Cultivate Properly—System of Rotation Is Best. <Hy R . G. A V K A T I I E U S T O X K . ) New laud is not adapted to oniongrowing, and this crop should always fallow some crop that has been under hee, and free from weeds. Onions should follow potatoes, beans or corn. , The land should be well plowed in 1he autumn, disked and harrowed in the spring until it is as line as gardea- soil. Always manure heavily before breaking up the land In the fall. On new land cowpeas are excellent for bringing the land into shape. Onions should be grown under a system of crop rotation, but the crops used in the rotation must bo those _-«* Device for Smoothing Soil Before Seeding. that will not exhaust the high fertility necessary to onions. Continuous cropping with onions will cause the land to become diseased and tilled with insect enemieB. One of the most Important things in onion-culture is to mix the fertilizer 'with the soil well. On land that is not thoroughly drained, plow in beds, leaving a double furrow between the beds to carry off surplus water. These beds may be 7B to 150 feet in width. The disc-harrow puts the land in fine condition after it has been thoroughly plowed in the fall. For finishi n g the soil a tool is now made, which •when drawn over the ground will till And obliterate all tracks, leaving the surface smooth and even, and in tine condition for either seed or transplanting. The feeding-roots of the onion run close to the surface, and should not be disturbed by deep cultivation. After a vain, break up the surface of the soil by means of a steel rake. As soon as the plants are growing well, the cultivator should be started and kept going, in order to keep the soil 1n good condition, and to prevent weeds. The single wheel-hoe is an excellent tool for this purpose. Some of the large growers near Chicago have adopted a hoe stock, consisting of a The rotation of crops is one ot the simplest and most practical ways by which the income of the farm may bt increased Without greatly adding tc the cost of operation. The rotation of crops is the altenia tlon of the three general classes ot farm crops; namely, grain crops grass crops and cultivated crops, sc that a crop from each ol' the three classes will appear on each field at least once during each cycle of tht rotation. Under "grain,crops," such crops as wheat, barley, flax and millet may be classed, in their relation to the soil. Millet, though grown for hay, haspractically the same effect on the soil as a grain crop. These crops deplete the soil of vegetable matter, allow weeds to grow, and have a tendency to deplete the productive power of the land. Tinier "grass crops" may be included timothy, bromus and the clovers. Though the clovers are not true grasses, they have heavy root sys terns, and add vegetable matter to the soil. The clovers also add nitrogen to the soil; but their chief value In a rotation seems to be due to the fact that their heavy root-systems fill the soil with vegetable matter, thus mak' ing it more hospitable to plants. Under cultivated crops may be placed corn, potatoes and root crops. Owing to their cultivation during growth, these crops have a cleaning effect on the soil. They are, however, exhaustive of soil fertility, because the constant cultivation encourages the liberation of large quantities of plantfood. These crops leave the soil in good condition lor succeeding grain crops. PROPER CARE OF TOMATOES Trimming of Vines in Mid-Summer Will Greatly Increase Yield—Experiments in Maine.

The plants were grown under ordinary field culture and they were started' in the green house April l, planted in the field June 1 and headed back July 24, August 8 and September 5. At each trimming the leading branches were shortened about six inches and most of the side shoots below the first clusters were removed, the others being shortened, and the sunlight was thus freely admitted.

A true saying: "A good garden is half the living." Flax is a plant that does well on a varoety of soils. The well drained garden has many things in Its favor. Millet hay, to give the best results, must not get too ripe. A good gardener will not be content With raising one crop a year. The careful stockman gives his manure spreader dally exercise. Grasshoppers may be materially decreased by winter or early spring disking. Rhubarb is one of the standard garden crops in the vicinity of large cities. The green food problem in winter Isn't much of a problem If there is any alfalfa hay on the place. All the kernels of an ear of corn are approximately of the same composition, but different ears vary considerably. 1 Experienced onion growers do not advise nor follow the practice of plant* ing onions on raw or new land as a first crop.

Finally he died, and his children gave him a fine funeral. They had plenty of money now that the old man was dead, and so they spread themselves. At the- church there was elaborate ceremony. The blind widowwas dissolved in woe. She cried and cried all through the services, paying scunt heed to what was going on until the eulogy was pronounced. She listened.

(Br D. W. FRKA.R, Colorado Agricultural ColVoge.) All cultivated soils and most virgin soils contain plant and animals' remains, called organic matter. Tyfr»w in thp IftRt s t a s i a nf decay, i nneHad. Impossible Road. Chauhcey M. Depew frequently deprecates the comparisons that a r e drawn between American and European railways. "These comparisons are unfair t o us," h e once said a t a banquet in N e w Tork. "When I'm told how very safe the European railway Is J think of t h e Nola Chucky line. "The president of t h e Nola Chucky line once waited on m e t o request an exchange of courtesies. I interrogated s l m , and h e said proudly*. '"On our line, sir, n o t only h a s a coUlaion never occurred, b u t o n o u r U s e a collision would be Impossible/ '"Impossible?' e a i d * Oh, come, X know that t h e latest automatic safety devices a r e excellent things, hut impossible i s a large word.' I t ' s literally true with us, s i r / b e organic matter is called humus. Humus is dark In color and imparts that color to soil when present m sufficient quantities. J Organic matter is very light in J weight. When partially decayed,, and | especially in the form of humus, it has the power t o absorb and hold larger quantities of water -than even the finest clays. Humus is more plastic (sticky) than sand, and less plaetlc than clay. Consequently it is very valuable in binding together sandy soils and loosening up clayey soils. When organic matter decays, substances called organic aelds a r e produced which a c t on t h e toll mineralf l a t t e r - a n d help to make It soluble, so that i t i s available to other plants. The food material which t h e organic matter contained is also brakes down to its original form, and much of it. is.again built up into plant tissue. Organic matter i s gotten into t h e soil by crop rotation, by plowing under green crops, by manuring and by raising crops With extensive root systems. When added t o soils in arid H S g l o B s . l t s h o u l d h e well rotted., I t Is o n e q l t h e most important soil con* stltuenta. T h e lack of it in soil ta largely t h e cause of t h e decreased yields under t h e stogie, continuous cropping system. '"How can it b e ? ' s a i d I.

CIGRAND M OD flxjqg T f l i r * T \ A TVTfX ^ ^ - - ^ IMPORTANCE OF WALL PAPER &+y rz/t&. 20&4 HE Sign of the Cross, or Christ symbol, so widely displayed on Easter day, Is an emblem which holds a more prominent place in American heraldry than Is generally known. It has been Identified with our history as a nation from the beginning, and forms three of the prime elements In the flag* of the United States navy. A red cross In saltlre is typical of a guardian; a blue saltlre cross means danger; while a blue Latin crosB signifies the service, devotional or church flag. The last mentioned flag came Into being Immediately after peace w a r d e c l a r e d between north and •oath; and ever since 1866 it has been accorded precedence even over the national banner, on certain occasions. It is the only pennant which at special periods can and does float above the Stars and Stripes. The flag Is triangular In shape and white In color, upon which is blazoned in blue a Latin crese;—Just before dU I RT* viae service commences on board a ship of war the Christ emblem is thrown to the breeze. Its white background Is symbolic of purity; the blue, ot azure, signifies virtue and godliness, and the cross is emblematic of the Savior of mankind. Chaplain Evans of the United States steamship Minnesota writes as follows: "The flag (service) flies proudly above the national ensign during divine service, and proclaims to all in night that the only true patriotism is that which has God as its author and which can be sealed with the stamp of approval by the incarnate God—His Son. To the chaplain whose heart Is in his work, Sunday is his great day. There ** always a celebration of Holy Communion at 7 a.'-m. By the courtesy of the admiral'this is held in his after cabin, to which all officers and enlisted men have ready ac- -cess. Communicants of all Christian bodies are invited to attend, and there it always a good attendance. At 10:30 a. m. the bugle sounds 'church call/ the church pennant is flown from the mast, and the ehlp's bell is -tolled. Then the 'official divine service' is held. Of necessity the altar 1s a portable one, the pews consisttag of the mess-benches, with chairs i n front for the officers. The service sever lasts longer than fifty minutes, and consists of prayer, song, and a short, plain talk. Sunday afternoon there Is a Bible data, and every evening there is a prayer meeting. At 4: So on the Sabbath the band gives a •acred concert for one hour, always closing with 'Onward Christian Sol* dlers' and 'Adotto Pldelea.'" From the foregoing extract from Chaplain Evan's letter It will be aeen -that the standard bearing the Croat of Christ is granted official recognition and pre-eminence by the federal gov* -eminent at stated Intervals. This any teem a trite inconsistent when St la remembered that onr Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United 8tatea do not recognize religion. Yet It doe* not appear wM' strange when the evolution of onr ;< eefctrnent and republic U taken Into " isMeratlon; and we are confronted evidence of how numerous were Chrlat tokens in the various flags floated over lead and sea ere Start and Stripes became the anemblem of the western world.

Taa eaten yt and the same flag floated over the Pll- [unfurled In the new world, for the banner of Columbus had £he symbol blazoned on his "voyag$ flag" which he displayed on reaching the land, August 12, 1492; and In the name of this emblem he took possession of the strange shores. England's standard also bore tho sacred token, and consequently when Sebastian Cabot landed in Labrador in 1497, at the end of his voyage of discovery, It was under the "Red Cross of St. George" that he took possession of the new domain. The planting of the red cross resulted in grim years of warfare and bloodshed, for many hard-fought battles took place between the French and English over the disputed territory. For one hundred and nine years this Christ emblem was the British symbol of American discovery and possession. But in 1606, one year before the settlement of Jamestown, Va., a new English flag was devised, which contained, besides the red ofoss of St. George, the white cross of St. Andrew in honor of the Scots who had -Joined tho British—nation. These elisor # ; 5» • « . crosses, of Saints George and Andrew, were placed on a blue square, while the remainder of the flag was red. Under this union banner began the labors of the Virginia settlers in 1607, grims at Plymouth, Mass., in 1620. The East Indian company, which .in 1644 Intended to improve and settle America, displayed a flag-—of—four-fwee stripes, two red and two white, and In a white union there was blazoned a red cross, In 1702 the same company devised a new banner, with the cross in the union still in evidence, but four more stripes added, making Ave white and five red stripes. Oddly enough in tho light of subsequent events this company in 1704 ordered a change in their standard which resulted in the production of a flag with thirteen stripes, six white (argent) and seven red (gules). Now this banner may be s a l / to have been practically the same as the present American flag as regards number and tincture of the stripes—more heraldlcally denominated "bars"-—since "stripes" are perpendicular, while "bars" are longitudinal. The union of this remarkable flag was a red cross on a white field or union, 'and its thirteen stripes floated in American waters and over American-lands seventy-three years before any such device was officially recognized as typically American. The writer saw this flag at, the Louvre, Paris, in 1900, the exhibit being marked "East India Company's Ensign, London, 1704." In 1649, on February 22, just eighty-three years" before Washington's birth, the English parliament decreed that "ships at sea shall display a new flag consisting of a red cross In union, and in a blue field a yellow (or) harp, representing Ireland." As early as 1684 the colony of Massachusetts attempted to establish a distinctive colony flag. In a letter to Capt. Thomas Noyes of Newbury, Mass., N. Sallonstall writes: "In ye major general's letter, I have ordered also to require you which I herein do, with all convenient speed, to provide a flight of colors for your foot company . . . to be green with a red cross, with a white field in the angle." Two years later, under the rigid rule of tho Colonel governor, Sir mund Andross, this green flag of Massachusetts was ordered hauled down, and the flag of King James I., with the British crosses, was re-established in New England, The green flag was, according to English heraldry, a "sign of hope," arid this is the earliest and flrBt reference regarding it. The flag i-actunlly made and displayed;-of which tb ore is no doubt, as in an old English work on heraldry it is described as "Colors of Capt. Noye's Company, Massachusetts Bay, 1684." Tho New England people did not like the idea of submitting tamely to the tyrannical orders of the governor, but their weakness impelled obedience to the czar-like attitude of the British officials. Moreover, the Puritans of New England were naturally averse to the worship and display of the cross, or emblem of Christ. Therefore, In the confederacy which was formed of the New England states in 1643, they voted to "Take off the cross, because it is an idolatrous symbol, and place instead a rose, a tree, or other natural object in place of the cross." Hence in many of the early Colonial flags which waved over our possessions under the rule of the Puritans, the cross was missing and its place taken by the pine-tree, a flower,--or even an outline of the globe (Intended to represent the new world) blazoned on backgrounds of various tints. A flag owned by Mrs. Craig, a distant relative of General Craig of Revolutionary fame, has the crosses of Saints George and Andrew on a blue field. The remainder of the flag is red, and upon it a coiled rattlesnake in attitude to Strike, and under it the significant words, "Don't tread on me." The date of this flag is important, as it would Illustrate the first direct attempt to claim certain rights for the colonies. The dual crosses in the union betoken allegiance to England, yet the symbolic snake and the expressive motto plainly indicates a threat against too much interference by the mother country. Another and later use of the serpent device and motto, "Don't tread on me" was that of the South Carolina troops of the Confederate army, who employed it on their flag during the Civil war. At the battle of Bunker Hill, the first real clash of arms and initial display of independent colors, there were two decidedly colonial flagsone "a red cross on white union, with pine-tree in dexter quarter, field of flag red;" the other the "English union, bearing the crosses of Saints George and Andrew with field red, containing tho war cry, 'Liberty and Union.' " On January 2, 1776, General Washington displayed over the troops at Cambridge the earliest effort to form a flag which would express that the colonies had united in defense of their homes, but still manifesting a love for English historical tradition. This flag was of thirteen stripes, seven red and six white, The union consisted of the Latin cross of St. George, and the saltlre, or X cross of St. Andrew, on a blue field. This remained the Continental flag for just seventeen and one-half months. Then on June 14, 1777, the Continental congress adopted a device for a flag which has been universally pronounced a happy combination of ideas, namely the Stars and Stripes, which waves triumphantly as the emblem of American patriotism over a free country. BEGIN TO DISCIPLINE EARLY Better to Teach Child as a Baby Rath* er Than When His Habits Have > Been Formed. 4I&A **£•% i\ There is nothing more beautiful [than a baby just learning to talk and beginning to run about. He has so many charming ways, and each new accomplishment is so absorbingly interesting. At the very worst his misdemeanors do not irritate us, and usually they are amusing, it is far pleasanter and easier to divert the child's attention than to take him seriously; and so, since there is no good stopping- place, be is coaxed and indulged until he la no longer a baby. But the hab#s that were amusing in the two* year-old cease to be funny at four and Aire, and at seven and eight they begin to be unendurable; and it Is a sad fact that punishment usually be* gins at an age when there should bo no further occasion for it, and when, to confess the truth, it often does more barm than good. As tho baby faults grow more and more irritating the child himself grows less and less appealing. We can punish now, and we do. We are sure that a child of his age "ought to know better." 'though just why It might be hard to tell It Is certainly no fault of his that seTen-yeaeold naughtiness Is loss attraetfve tans tho hefty Tartettv tad habit is a powerful antagonist. U U perfectly esJs to sev that every child will require punishment at some time. It is absolutely certain that some time, from some source, in some way, he will receive his share of the world's discipline. In babyhood it is light; later if is severe. In babyhood there are no bad habits to combat; later the habits are a part of the child. In babyhood the grief Is soon forgotten; later humiliation and resentment live in the heart and often embitter the dearest ties. In view of these perfectly obvious truths the fact that we do not wish to discipline the bsby becomes the chief reason why we ought to discipline him. If we wait until we wish to punish him our own motives are degrading; what should be education becomes retaliation; and neither our Judgment nor our justice is to be trusted.— Ladies' Home Journal. Sacrifice Made By Husband #r^ ' — :—: — Remarkable Self-Abnegation That Proved Hfs Love for Hsr Wat True and Deep. One of the most curious stories recently passing within view of the office window comes from the state of Georgia. It discloses an example of self-sacrifice quite out of the ordinary. A young widow was married a life, she explained, she had solemnly promised thst in the event of his death she would never remarry, and that, haying violated that pledge, she was tortured every hour with bis ghostly reproaches. S The husband, after earnest but futile efforts to overcome) his wife's strange .melancholy, generously effaced himself from hsr life by con* aenting to a separation and turning year ago to the estimable jaan with [ttver to hsr the charming home} In whom she lived moat happily for several months* their home life being described by neighbors as little short of Ideal.

It Is important, vhou selecting a wall paper to consider durability as well as beauty, which includes suitability. White papers are not always ill-wearing, and one that is glazed will resist dirt and look bright and fresh for a Ions time. Soft-surfaced whites, ar any other color, however, not only pick up every marl; and collect dust, but also often shed a minute powder. Red papers do not tsuit hot rooms, but warm up north ones charmingly. When turning an upstairs bedroom Into a sitting room, the use of a rich red paper will do much to remove the plain effect that la often a drawback. Pink papers are alway.s liked in north and west bedrooms. A striped pattern increase the apparent height of the walla, while one with any kind of horizontal lines, or checks will diminish it. Large designs ii'.ake a. room look .smaller than it really is, and a very small pattern is wearisome to the eye. Patternles.s papers help the effect of pictures and furniture and are popular on account of their rest fulness, while those in which the designs melt into the color of the background are to be recommended for the same reasons. Pale green and blue walls have a cool influence and so are suitable f c sunny rooms, while cream and pale gold are good for all aspects. As greens produce something to the effect of lawns and trees, they are delightful in town houses, and if used in a country drawing-room there will be no sharp contrast between indours and out. Raised papers are handsome, hut catch up dust, and those with gilt lines should not be chosen for seaside dwellings, as the strong air will soon tarnish them black. Only very well lit rooms can stand brown papers, which wear well and have a pleasing and comfortable appearance.

Delicate articles such as jabots, handerchlefs and other accessories, may be beautifully laundered by the following method: Prepare a thin starch by wetting a teaspoonful of cornstarch in a little cold water. Add two quarts of boiling water and boil from 30 minutes to an hour. When cold, strain. Have the articles to be starched washed clean, dip them while wet into the starch, wring dry, then clap between the bands till partly dry. Lay right side down on a thick ironing pad and iron with a moderately hot iron. Articles laundered in this way have the sheer look and the crispneai of new goods. Rolled Oats Bread. Two cupa of rolled oats, five cups of flour, two cups of boiled water, onehalf cup of molasses, one-half tablespoon salt, one tablespoon butter, one cake of compressed yeast dissolved in one-half cup of lukewarm water. Add boiling water to rojled oats and let stand one hour; add molaasea, salt, butter, dissolved yeast cake and flour: let rise until double in bulk, beat thoroughly—use band to shape—turn into buttered bread pans, let rise again, and bake.

The demand for winter wheat flour is decreasing every year because of the fact that the people of this country are buying bakers bread. Now if everybody was to ase the bakers product and not make bread or biscuits the consumption of flour would be far below what it is today Here is another point; the demand for bran and middlings is increasing every year on account of the increase df the try business.—You can figure it out~for~~yonrlie1t" tttrConsumer. Yon can help by using winter wheat flour and making yonr own bread thus creating a demand for the dour. Unless we sell the flour we cannot make the bran and middlings. Now we are doing a good business and are not knocking onr customers, but we could do mors and so could any other mill in Michigan or any other state.

JFabrlc That Introduces the Gown Color is Far Smarter Than the All White—Pretty Broochea and Bows. The illustration shows the fancy version of tho Peter Pan, the front being cut In a novel way and the pocket left off, and this model would be most effective in a striped silk tuatching the suit color. As to Bhlrtwaist colors, wo will not be able to escape all white, and a fresh white waist certainly gives a tmsinesB woman a neat and smart ;look when employed with her duties; but all white Is far lesa smart than a fabric introducing the gown color In very handsomely against the white background. Shirts in these fabrics are always laundered without starch and very often the neck finish Is In the form of a soft stock with ends made for a four-ln-hand tie. Stiff linen collars are likewise worn with aottlaundered shlrtSj and with silk and liannel ones, but the woman who has the beauty of her throat in mind prefers the more pliable stock of the shirt material or of Irish lace, for although a lace neck fixing takes away something of the distinction of a tailored waist the Irish stocks are much worn. For little extra occasions, when the silk four-in-hand tie deems scarcely dressy enough, there are charming butterfly bows in plain and lace-edged muslin and net, and girls who know how to make their own little neck fixings often turn these out from bordered handkerchiefs and make them in a way so that they wash without hurt. The pretty little brooches and bows with ends of satin flowers are still gayer neck fixings, and, besides being In excellent taste for occasional wear, these are easily made at home from any little fragment or gay satin or ribbon.

Four Acres of Thistles By CARL JENKINS (Copyright, 1913. by AMeciaicd Literacy Presa.) BANDS TO REMOVE WRINKLES Women Who Have Tried Rubber Report Enthusiastically on Merits of the Scheme. Rubber bands for removing wrinkles In the forehead are being tried by many women, who are enthusiastic over the success they have had. The bands are flat and shaped to fit the forehead, having a small point extending down In front over the nose. Before adjusting the band the forehead should bo r«bbed-^th-coiA^creana-anda little of the same cream smeaTed over the inside of the rubber Strip. Then it should be fastened in place by means of tapes] If the rubber beautifter 1« too tight a headache may result. Jt should be remembered that the virtue of such an appliance lies In itH heating properties. After the band has been worn a little while the inside becomes coated with perspiration, which helps to cause the wrinkles to disappear. The rubber piece should be cleansed carefully after it in used each time by wiping off the cold cream with a cloth. The forehead should al- HO be given further treatment with dasheH of cold water to restore tho The -Blocking at the Front of This Waist Gives a Little Chance for .Extra Dressiness. . Home manner, and as a standby one imdice 1TI a silk exactly matching the suit would be invaluable. This comes in very handy for rainy days and for the moment when a white walat would seem a little too commonplace, for ••with a change of neck fixing tho get- •tip can be made far more dressy. Among the smart wash shirtings whose patterns match tho colors of 'the new suit materials are madras and cheviot, the browns, blues and iPlum tones of the pin stripes, checks and dots and diamonds showing up WHITE VEILED OVER BUCK Smart' Milliners Give Distinctive Touch to Their Productions by 8lmple Arrangement. White malino veiled with black maline has latety been seen on many of the creations of smart milliners, two immense outstanding loops of the material being an indispensable part of the decorations of any hat on which, it appears. Rhinestones are frequently u*ed with it and are extremely effective with the sombre tone produced toy the black over white. One hat is made entirely of the maline and is trimmed only with tho two big loops *nd a string n ' large rhinestonea ^around the crown. Another model is a tinjvbowl of stretched black satin. which i s wound about Mie edge with fold* Of. maline and adorned at the fcacjt with the two • big loops. The fold* tljAt surround the hat are held at itwo pofhts by big ring* of rhinestonea. Tlrownsmalfne over white is also seen, hating, been used on one large hat with • crown of dark brown velvet and a brtm of gold lace. Voluminous circulation and close the pores of the skin. Borrowing From the Birds. A Parisian invention for the woman who craves sensational apparel is the feather vest, or gilet-olseaux^ This adornment is molded closely to the figure, and though it has the beautiful changing colors of many rare birds, It is usually made of the plumage of tho humble goose--such is the genius of the modern dyer. The effect of the vest, displayed at the opening of one's tailored suit, is most artistic when the toque worn with it is of the same plumage. 1 > I - : T I ; U I T — f u t i l e — K x t n t <trv-f.Nl ••Ut't'i'.s a m i lii'i tVrs, $6.77)(0 7; s H ' f f s a m i h e i f e r s , 1,()(1(1 t o l.JUU, $ H .

"Mad dog!" whispered the tramp after watching for a moment. Head held high—eyes a fiendish green—slavering at the mouth. Those were the true Bigns. The tramp stood up and grasped the stout stick by which he carried his old satchel over his shoulder. The dog came straight at him, but at the last' moment swerved aside and passed on. He was half-blind in his agony, and he may have taken the man tor a shadow. "Gate open and girl in tho" hammock!" whispered. the tramp. "Will he turn in? If he does she will scream, and what then? I musn*t take chances!" The dog had forty rods to go by the road, and the man, by leaping the fence and making a s]hort cut had only about twenty-ftve. One Jump and he was over the fence, and then he struck a cinder-track gait. The dog stopped for a few seconds at the gate and then turned in. Just then the girl sat up in the hammock, and seeing both tramp and dog she screamed. The tramp let out another link, and he was at the /foot of the steps when the mad beaBt came racing up with growls of agony or anger. With a full swing of his stick the tramp bowled the dog over, and three or four more blows finished him. "What—what is it!" demanded the girl. "Just a mad dog, miss," was the rerJy as the dusty outing cap was lifted. "ile'a dead and there's nothing to fear." "But I want to know." "Just a mad dog." And the tramp had reached the gate when Judge Horton and his wife came driving up, and the judge leaped out and seized the man by the collar and exclaimed: _ -!4ie44_ea— hero!—4--w*at-4» knowwBat'lbeen going TJrrr "Don't let him get away, rather!" cried Edith as she came running. "What's he done " "Why, he killed a big mad dog that was after me! I want to know his 1 name and make him accept thanks." , "Just a mad dog," replied the tramp with a deprecatlnR smile, but the trio insisted on making a hero ol him. The judge handed him a %20 bill, and when it was refused he cast around to give a reward in some other way. "Look here," he said alter a bit, "there's four solid acres ot thistles over there belonging to me. 1 want 'em cut down and rooted out. I'll give you $10 an acre to do it, and you can get board with the farmer Just below." The next day the tramp went to work with scythe and spade, and It was a twenty-days' job he had. Three or four times in that stretch Judge Horner visited the field and tried to draw the worker out, but he did not succeed very well. On two occasions Miss Edith called him to the roadside fence to praise and pump, but all the information she got made a brief report to her father! "Say, papa, you know I studied Greek?" "It was some folderol like that, 1 believe." "And I can understand it quite well, and what do you think?" ' "I think you can't." "And yesterday when I was passing the ihistle-rield I heard our tramp swearing in Greek!" "Did, eh? Then I must warn him that all swearing around here must be done In English." It was the tramp's last day on his job when a strange auto rolled up to Judge Horton's mansion, and in hour later his honor and his visitor entered the field and walked up to the weary and sunburned toller. "Ames, I didn't think it was in you!" said the visitor as he held out his hand. "Father!" "We've kept a little track of you, you see." And Miss Kdith? Well a man has only to save a girl from a mad dog and hydrophobia, and then excite her curiosity and T omance, and what's the result? Not ever a year'3 courtship before marriage, and it is eminently proper at thai When Na-el Had to Ride.

That was three months before a county constable riding along a highway a hundred miles from the Chester home caught sight oi a tramp resting under a bush in the afternoon and called to him: "Move on, you, or I'll have you in jail!" "Oh, I don't know," was the indifferent reply. "But I do. I don't take sass from your sort!" The man with a nickle star pinned conspicuously to the Japet of his coat drew rein, pulled out a pair of handcuffs and advanced upon the tramp and reached out for him. Next moment he was standing on his head, his feet being held up in the air. He did some kicking and was turned endfor- end. He made some bluster and was tosaed into his buggy and the horse urged to hurry up and get somewhere. Then the tramp wandered along. He was hungry, and he would have stopped at the big house he soon came to and had a chat with the cook, except that he saw a girl in a ham* mock on the veranda. He wasn't exactly afraid that she would bite, b he bad on a blue woolen shirt^jHtiT a rough suit and hadn't shave**for four days.

T \ . -/ In making up a ration for cows it Is desirable to feed as much roughage as possible because it is usually the farmers' cheapest, feed. However, the capacity of the animal is limited, and we mutst he ruled by common sense. U is possible to balance a ration in protein, carbohydrate and fat with only coarse dry roughage which the com would not be able to consume in large enough quantities to produce a reasonable amount of milk. It is easy to balance a ration of grain alone which is also undesirable. The ration should be balanced in amount of roughage and grain as well as in protein, carbohydrate and fat. The amount of grain by weight should rarely equal the amount of dry roughage and should usually be less than one-half. This does not apply where *ujcb roughage as silage is fed, because silage contains more moisture and weighs heavier than other roughage. ORIGIN OF HOLSTEIN BREED Practically Same at Cattle Coming From Friesland Province in Northern Holland. The words Holsteln and llolsteln- Friesiau designate the same breed. At first there were two breed associations, one called the Ilolstein assocla tion, the other tfte Dutch-Friesiaji Association, but fc'r all practical purposes these associations represented the same breed. Friesland is a province in the northern part of Holland and these northern Hollanders have kept cattle from the earliest history. Holstein is a province in northern Germany, not far from Friesland.

Cattle coming from Holstein were called Holsteins. The cattle originated from the same source. In the year 1885 the two associations united and cattle coming from these two sections are now called Holstein- Friesian. The correct name for the black and whites is Holstein-Friesian, but they are sometimes improperly called Holsteins.

Early last December Mrs. Schepler got acquainted with Hamner and was persuaded by him to put the money into the advertising business he was starting here. MrB. Schepler sued to obtain the money she had invested, alleging misrepresentation and fraud. Grand Rapids.— J. Kdwanl Johnson, teller of the Michigan Trust company of this city, was arrested while working over his books in the hank, charged with embezzling $5,000 from the institution. Johnson is said to have admitted his theft, declaring he spent the money in bucketshop speculation. Mount Clemens.—Because they were "caught with the goods on" selling smallmouthed black bass, which is prohibited by a law, six persons paid fines in the court of Justice Allen W. Kent, while the seventh, Louis Trombley, a resident of the iake shore, was Bent to jail for ten days in default of a fine of |10. Filion. Mrs. Reubon Ratson, aged thirty-five, sustained fatal burns at her home here and died three hours later. She was working around the house at the time and when a lamp was tipped over and ignited some lace curtains, the flames quickly spreading to her clothing upon her attempt to extinguish the blaae. The nearest doctor was at. Kinde, six miles away from the Ratson home, and by the time of his arrival the woman had succumbed to her burns. Bay City.—-Three months ago John Ledford moved to a farm west" of Auburn, near here, and filled the haymow with hay. In doing so he inadvertently covered up a hen.

K 4 It is considered better for a cow and her calf to give the cow a rest between her periods of lactation, says Hoard's Dairyman. From six to eight weeka is considered about right for a k*V. good -dairy cow, It is not wise, however, to force a persistent milker dry. Hare must be taken at this period or there is danger of the udder becoming caked and permanently injured. With a cow that persists in giving milk 12 months in the year it is well to decrease her ration and give her nothing but dry feed when she is nine and a half months along in her period ef lactation—that is, if she has been bred to calve 12 months from the beginning of her period of lactation. As a rule, it is not difficult to dry a cow off If pTOper attention is given at this period. IMPORTANCE OF THE BARREL months.

This is in obedience to the new law enacted by the last legislature and recently going into effect. The intention of the law is to hava the bottle fixed in such a way that no one will pull the cork at any time, day or night, without having a warning as to the contents of the bottle. So if you attempt to use a bottle of medicine and get your fingers pricked by a notched piece of tin, remember it is a warning as to the contents of the bottle. All bottles having such corks contain poison.

SBcForBoxatOniaslata SKIN SORES ( B y N . R. GILBERT.) Frequently poultry keepers"~ complain bitterly of the failure of their fowls to show profit, when the whole fault lies in defective housing. Poultry lead an entirely artificial life when they liye penned in a run, or even when at liberty and provided with a Bleeping-house—that is to say they have their food provided them and do not sleep in the trees, as their natural instinct would teach them. It is simply the difference between sleeping in a bouse and sleeping in trees that upsets them. When they do the latter, they may not lay well but they keep their health. More than half the diseases modern fowls suffer are caused primarily by this defective houBi&g. The chief requisites of a house are that it should be weather-proof, so that whatever the inclemency of the season, the fowls keep dry. It must be provided with ample ventilation and should have a sunny aspect. The sun is life to all animals, and the more fowls get of it, the better. Yet, sometimes, fowl - houses aro placed in dark, secluded corners, and built to admit hardly any light.

If the ground is quite level the rain off the roof shows a tendency t o remain in the form of puddles. A trench should be dug to carry it away, or better still, there should be a spout on the roof to carry the wet away down to a down spout connected with a surface drain. It is important that the ground around the house, as well as the house itself, be kept dry, as fowls never do well en wet land. Special attention should be paid to the roof, The eaves should overlap , "What are you embroidering, Vir- : ginia? Each etitch you take seema , a labor of love," said Mrs. Haynes. "Only a little gift for dear Mrs* Moffet. She has the most charming personality, and I'm glad to do It for hex." "How strange I never discovered it* To me she is one of those women who think it more blessed to receive than to give." "How about her son?" asked Arline. "Only the other day Bhe said that 'she only hoped her Bon would marry a congenial girl of good family some day.'" "Do you know the young man?* asked Mrs. HayneB. "No, but J hope to meet him in the near future. She i s so proud of him. He must be a splendid fellow." "Isn't she beautiful with her youth* ful face and that crown of snowy white hair," said Arline. "It's impossible to discover whether she's an old young looking, or young old looking person.'' "Girls," said Mrs. Haynes with an air of wisdom, "don't ever try to judge any one's age who lives in a hotel. If she had the trials of housekeeping and a big family to look after, maybe she would be smiling all the time." Later when Mrs. Moffet and Mrs. Haynes were seated opposite each other at the dining table, Mrs. Moffet Baid "there isn't any plausible reason Why all the young girls should be so attentive to me." "Aren't you fond of young people's society?" asked Mrs. Haynes. "Surely, I'm still young in.my ideas and can enter into all the feelings and emotions of a.younggirl's heart." "The maidens are not so innocent jnpw-aHdays. The way the girls try to coerce the boys into showing them a good time amuses me. In my time it was the youth who courted the girl. j As to respect to their elders i t is I 'Parents thou shalt honor your children/ The father is looked upon as I a perambulating check book, and the tinother as~~a prospective ~mother-in- E u r o p e a n P l a n O n l y R a t e s $ ) , $ 8 0 , 0 0 0 E x p e n d e d I n R e m o d e l i n g , F u r n l a h i . w.

There is no necessity to cover the roof with felt, provided It receives a good dressing of tar at first and a further coat each year. On no account make the roof of corrugated zinc. Such a house will be cold in the winter and hot in the summer. If the poultry-keeper has some sheets of this very useful article—for such it certainly is—make a roof of thin boards and put the zinc on top. For the floor, the earth needs to be beaten down quite hard and a dressing of some Inches of sand or light dry earth put_on top. If the soil is clayey, it is better to have a wooden floor, for it must be dry. In any case, observe scrupulous cleanliness, removing all droppings on b e a w e e k a n d takingcare thereIs never any smell. Ventilation is a subject better nnderstood now than formerly. We indulge in more of it for ourselves and more for the fowls. Yet for them as for ourselves, we must not forget that , the thing can be overdone and that a good deal depends upon the location of the house and the outside temperature. • H i 21 25 IMPROVEMENT OF FARM EGGS Government Bulletin Contains Result of Careful Study of Industry In 8tate of Kansas, Every reader should read circular 141 entitled "The improvement of the Farm Egg" issued by the department of Agriculture, Washington, D.

Ever since I l arrived at this hotel I have been the j recipient of kindness from all the young ladies." I "I thought" answered Mrs. Haynes, , "that I overheard Arline and Virginia say you invited them to stay a oouple of weeks at your home in the country." j "Yes, *they accepted my cordial in- ! vitatlon instantly. Could I do less, : when they devoted their whole time ~^graciously"to met Eachvied with -tbsrf—r-Stfict)y Modern and Up todato liotel i other in showing their real friendj Bhip." "Then they will have a chance t o 1 meet your son," Interposed Mrs. Haynes. "Only once or twice have I mentioned my personal affairs, but believe I told them that Clarence will be delighted to meet them and what a love* ly charming son he is." "They were wondering whether he was a professional man or lm business." "Absurd—I told them Clarence was nearly six feet tall and weighed 160 pounds, but I thought they knew he was only fifteen yearB old." After dinner Mrs. Moffet said, "Just received the latest novel. If yem see any of the young ladies will you ask them if they care to read aloud to me for an hour or so." When Mrs.Haynes repeated.the request to the girls each one offered their services. "I'd Just love to oblige Mrs. Moffet," said Arline. "Since when are you so obliging. I thought you said you were so fatigued," inquired Virginia, "now don't trouble yourself 111 read tonight as I have nothing else to do." "But before you decide which shall have the coveted honor, let me announce to you that the grand young man whom Mrs. Moffet has been raving about is only a lad fifteen years old." "The idea! I'm sorry, but I can't read aloud tonight," said Arline, ' 1 have a previous engagement" "Don't count on me," said Virginia* "I'm going to try some new music, Eva will be glad to accommodate her." "Certainly not," remarked Eva, "she's fooled us all long enough with, hints and suggestions about her charming son." Just then Mrs. Moffet glided in with * telegram in her hands. "Goodness!" she exclaimed, "my soo just wired that he Is going to spend the holidays with me here. I feared it was toe far (or aim to come during vacation." "Who will help me plan some surprise for him, and I know he'll show his appreciation to you all when yon •visit me next summer." RaaJly," mmmMPad Virginia.

It la a hair ceniury since Ericsson's Monitor was lauuched. We bar©. Just passed the anniversary of mat event. It was an evolution in the art of naval airinament which at the time seemed to promise a permanent change In theory and practice. What the Monitor did for us in the crisis which It was designed to meet is matter ot history, says the Boston i'ost. That low-lying, vicious craft was perhaps the salvation of our navy. Hut what a change in the years that have since elapsed! The Monitor type has gone to the scrap heap, and the masBlve, towering, stupendous dreadnought has taken its place. Torpedoboats have come in, followed by torpedo destroyers. And the range of naval operations has been extended. Every maritime nation has equipped Itself with submarines, and the very latest Is a submarine that can light above the water and descend with safety after delivering the fire of ita battery. Under the water and above the land In the air the power of destruction Is extending. What Is the end of this development of the means of devastation? Logically, la It not the establishment of universal peace as an International duty? Wherever the Romans lived In the days of the empire they carried luxury and art. They occupied for centuries a large part of the northern coast of Africa. It Is not surprising therefore to learn by a dispatch from Tripoli that a body of Italian troops digging trenches near the Oasis of Sclara, on the spot formerly occupied by Roman Imperial gardens, has unearthed an ancient Greek Venus of remarkable beauty. The head and arms are missing, but the torso is in excellent preservation and reminds beholders of the famous Capitol!ne Venus. The statue hag been sent to Rome, where It will be placed In the National ~rauseum_ in. nearlyevery spot where soldiers have tapped the ground to throw up defensive -works they have uncovered traces of the ancient Roman occupation of Tripoli, including tombs, mosaics and ruins of splendid vlllaB. There is a New York statute against the revelation by physicians of the secrets of the consultation room; but a New York judge has decided that it does not prevent a doctor from describing the services which he has performed when he finds it necessary to sue for the collection of his fee. In that" caseTTBe^Jdg^TuIes, the physician may proceed with his action, alleging anything and everything that la necessary, without either directly or Indirectly becoming liable for violation of the law. The dfclslon would seem to be reasonable^/K is a mean man w i n will refuse to pay a fair fee t< his doctor.

Aawsv vjfcaaf oft of defense; the custard MALL IS CENTER OF SCHEME Spring Has Come to the Potomac, and Birds, Trees and Flower Beds Are Beautifying the Parks and Streets. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington. Plans to make Washington a worthy capital are being pushed vigorously. When the Lincoln memorial dispute is ended other matters les.s controversial in nature will be taken up and decision made. ,H is not yet definitely decided just what form the memorial to-Abraham Lincoln will take, but the chances favor the erection of some lasting stone memorial near the Potomac river, virtually atthe head of what is called The Mall. This Mall, by the way, is a beautiful place. Eventually it will extend from a point on the river opposite Georgetown straight through to the capitol. It has a wide extent today, unbroken except by the Washington monument, some government buildings and by great trees. Before long, it is the firm belief of men charged with the beautifying of the city, that all the business buildings on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue will be removed and that there will be one great government park extending from the avenue to the river and from the capitol to the Lincoln memorial. This is spring in Washington. It was a late spring, but it came finally, and with it on its march up the Potomac came the birds from the south, who instantly took up temporary, and in some cases, permanent, residence in Rock Creek park, This beautiful park will enter Into the scheme of the comprehensive beautifying scheme of the city. Kventually there will be a broad park ~5eTf7vlrtually surrounding the capitol of the nation. When it is understood that in the city itself there are a score or more of small parks, and that every avenue and nearly every street has its double line of shade trees, some adequate idea can • be obtained of the eventual beauty of tlik J'ojomac^ city. N o M F r ^ M o n i t r M i t y Monuments. Every effort will be made to prevent the erection in Washington of any more "monstrosity monuments." Some of the public memorials erected here in honor of men dead and gone are an honor neither to the sculptors, to the i>eople, nor to the men whose deeds ihey are supposed to commemorate. Almost anything In the old days in the way of a monument used to pass the censors of art, Today it is virtually Impossible to get anything by the critics except that which is eminently worthy, for the "board of approval" is composed of men who know excellence when they meet It. Volumes have been written about the "art" of Statuary Hall in the capitol. It Is probable that all' the marble and bronze memorials there are there to stay, for it would be regarded perhaps as an insult to the legislators of the states which voted these memorials to suggest that they be taken out and replaced by others. Nature will beautify Washington in a few days. No statuary is needed here to make the city beautiful in late March and all of April, May and June. The trees on the avenues largely are flower bearing. It may be said that all trees blossom, but those in the main in Washington are of a kind which bear blossoms of size and fragrance. The small parks from now on will be flower beds with a constant succession of changes of coverlids. The crocuses come, then the hyacinths, then the tulips, and then the flowers of midsummer in constant change and alwaysin profusion. Two Bold Senators, When Gen. WInfield Scott Hancock as a presidential candidate said "the tariff is a local Issue" he said what since has proved to be true, although, as everybody knows, he was laughed at at the time for his "lack of appreciation of the real facts in the case." There are other local issues besides the tariff and chief among them is the matter of public buildings for the cities, towns and villages of the country. This matter just now is engaging the attention of the United States senate, although in haste let it be said that the senate is in no wise anxious to have the subject pressed upon it. A few days ago Senators Lea and Kenyon, one a Democrat and the other a Republican, acting together, asked for reconsideration of bills which had been presented by other senators for the erection of public buildings in two or three small towns In the west. The action of these two senators was bold and unprecedented, lor be It known that the senators by agreement in the past have not been in the habit of Interfering with one another's attempts to secure fine postoffices, fine federal court buildings and fine customs houses for the towns of their home states. Py a sort of a joint agreement the senate has allowed its members t6 do pretty much as they chose iff the pub lie building approprialkm matter, the thought being apparently. "If I don't Interfere 'with'" another senator, the other senator won't interfere with me wheif'l want something of a like kind buildings bills Are no respecters of parties. Whether t h e HepubUcans or the Democrats are in control of either house, the public buildings bill nearly always gets its innings. Postoffices and court houses erected at government expense ana presenting u fine appearance architecturally always have been looked upon as good vote-getters. It is said that many congressmen owe their return to Washington to the fact that they have "dune so much fur tnelr districts." It is possible for a member to make no effort to familiarize himself with matters of great national concern, and to take no active part in the debates on momentous questions, and yet to commend himself to his constituents because he has been so active In sending them garden seeds, looking alter private pension matters and above all, being active in getting appropriations for federal buildings which would be an ornament to the "public square." The real trouble seems to be that in hundreds of cases the buildings which have been provided are altogether too large lor the service intended, and costly beyond right. There are some villages in the United States holding only a handful of people which have finer public buildings than places of thirty times their size. The difference in the structures represents the difference either in influence ot the lepresentatives of the different districts, or in the way in which they view their public duties. Some meD give their whole time to the greater affairs of state, while others are con tent to give time and energy only to local matters. As for the quality of statesmanship presented by these twc courses, the people must take their choice. Hughes as a Dark Horse. There have been hints from time to time in Washington that there Is a possibility that the progressives and the conservatives of the Republican party, if they should get into a dead lock condition at Chicago over the nomination for the presidency, might turn for a compromise candidate to the supreme bench and nominate Associate Justice Charles E. Hughes. There is not one chance in a thousand, perhaps, that this will happen, for it is, said that Mr. Hughes hap heard the rumor that such a thing might be proposed and has "handed down a decision" against it in advance. PRESIDENT TAFT Charles E. Hughes is the only man of pure Welsh descent who has a seat on the supreme bench. If be should by any chance... be nominated for the presidency, the probabilities are that he would have the largest majority in Oneida county, X. Y., ever given to a prCTidentrai c^Mid^tszloT Oneida county is largely populated by Welsh people who settled there in great numbers during the period between 1830 and 1870; There are five or six Welsh churches In I'tica alone and in several of them the Welsh language is heard from the pulpit. A Welsh newspaper which Is published in Utica is read by Welshmen all over the United States. To Save Mountain Forests. Not long ago congress passed a bill which gives Uncle Sam the right to take over tor forest reserve purposes tracts of lands in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and in two or three slates o_f_ the southern Appalachian region, in a week or two the commission which has this matter in charge will report on certain sections which it is thought wise for the government to take over in order to save the forests, to preserve the natural scenic beauty and to keep equable the flow of the streams which are used for navigation arid for water power for manufacturing purposes. Thousands of people go to the White Mountains in summer to spend their vacations. This statement will not startle anyone by its novelty, but there may he something new in the knowledge that the people who go to New Hampshire for the beauty of the scenery and the purity of the air spend $8,000,000 in that state in the months before the leaves of the forestst take on the color of the expended gold. Plans of the Government. Congress was told not long ago that the tide of summer travel actually was beginning to turn away from New Hampshire because the mountains were being robbed of their tree glories by the hand of trade, and that the mountain streams were losing their waters, the rapids were becoming rills and the depths were becoming murmuring shallows. Of course, not the entire forested mountain country of New Hampshire can be preserved by the government of the United States. The intention seems to be t o take over 1,000,000 acres and to care for the reserve under such regulations as best may be provided for the reforesting of the waste places and for protection of the water supply. It must not be understood that lumbering operations will be stopped by the fact that Uncle Sam is to become a land owner in the Appalachian region north and south. It does follow, however, that only such lumbering operations will be allowed as will Increase rather than decrease the supply of wood for commercial purposes; This statement may seem to contain contradictory propositions-,' but it does not. The government maintains that when a tree-Is properly cut the operation makes two trees grow where one grew before. Last year forest fires In the United States destroyed $20,000,000 worth of property. The government now is cooperating with such states as ask cooperation for the prevention of forest fires. Several states have availed themselves ot the opportunity to get government aid. The government gives its help only in sections where the forests guard the water supply of navigable streams. Under the Constltutlnn thin was the only way in which the government eould act with the states, for Uncle Sam has charge of streams which are navigable in any part of their course.

Delegates to Republican national convention favoring the nomination of Theodora Roosevelt were overwhelmingly defeated at New York state primaries in every district where they opposed candidates designated by the regular Republican organization and claimed by the followers of Taft. The Taft campaign managers declared at least SI) of New York's 90 delegates would go to Chicago favoring the president's renominatlon. This estimate includes the four delegates-at-large to be chosen at the state convention on April 9. The remaining seven delegates were designated by the regular district organizations but conceded to Col. Roosevelt. Col, Roosevelt lost the only two fights his supporters made "upstate," and the returns from the 15 contested districts in New York city and lxmg Island gave his opponents—Taft men —a plurality averaging more than two to one. "It can be said from the most conservative angle that the results point practically to a solid Taft delegation from New York," said John W. Hutchinson. Jr., director of the eastern branch o f t h e n atj onal T a f L_b_u re an. Mr. Hutchinson said the seven Roosevelt delegates probably would -be the~four chosen from the:Tweiityfourth and Twenty-fifth districts, which are controlled .by National Committeeman Wm. L. Ward, City Controller Prendergast of Brooklyn, former Congressman Lucius N. Lit'tauer of the Thirtieth district, and Percy P'._ :¾jjiiams_ c f the ..Thirty-Becond di s- •ir4elv—^vteasTB:—PreTi d e rj^Mtr^aiiltrLtrH auer, he said, are strong personal friends of the colonel,-and Mr. Williams' district was strongly -opposed to Taft's reciprocity stand. Col. Roosevelt's supporters now are expected to concentrate their attention on the.;gtate convention ia an e£* fort to prevent the Taft men from sending to Chicago an instructed delegation.. The primary law in operation did not permit specific instruction orMKfe tfetegatos at the time they were elected. The leaders concede that the action of the New York delegation Will be influenced somewhat by the .results in other states »that hold prima'rtes or conventions during the interval before the New York convention. The Roosevelt campaign managers confined 'their statements to declarations regarding the contusion that reigned in New York City from the RIOT IN ROCK ISLAND Three Men Killed and Mine Wounded In Political Riot. An unsuccessful attempt was made to assassinate Mayor Bchriver, who is blamed tor the political riot in Rock Island, 111., in which three men were killed. The would-be assassin fired a rifle bullet from the top of a high building, two squares away, into the window of Mayor SchriverVi office. The bullet went wide of its mark. The situation is ominous. The political animosities that are at the bottom of the rioting have broken out afresh in the circulation of recall petitions directed against the, mayor aiwl Police Commissioner Hart and the friends of I lie men and those opposed to them euga^ed in heated controversies throughout the day. A report sent to the governor says threats of further rioting had been made. The rioting continued practically unchecked for three hours. The police said there were more than 5,000 persons in the mob which surged through iho downtown streets, pulling car trolleys from the wires, overturning wagons and in other ways seeking to block public thoroughfares resulting in the death of three men and the wounding of nine persons.

New Law Affects 498 School Districts There are 498 of the 7,333 school districts In Michigan that will not share in the next apportionment of the primary .school fund this year, Superintendent, of Public Instruction L. 1.. Wright has compiled figures which still are incomplete but shows the actual number of districts that will be affected by the law passed at the last regular session of the legislature and which provided that any school district in .t.li£__siate ..having, enough primary school money on hand to pay teachers' Mages for two years could not share in any primary school apportionment. Twenty-seven scliool districts in Wayne county will be affected, as follows: Dearborn township, -three districts: Gratiot, three: Kcorse, one: Greenfield, eight; Hamtramck, four; Huron; three, Livonia, four; Redford, one; Romulus, four; Springwells! one; Sumpter, three, and Taylor, two. The number of school districts affected is not as great as was expected. A large number of the 49S districts have large amounts of money on hand and the total of their surplus will amount to several thousand dollars. These figures, however, are not yet complete.

Why, I should say it felt Just about like yours would, sir." , F eyed him ruefully. "By Jove, I don't-doubt it a minute!" I commented with some disgust. "Wellr go ©th with your yarn. You were telling, when I interrupted, about rushing into my bedroom." "Yes, sir," he resumed with animation. "And when I didn't find you, 1 was Just frantic, for I didn't know you had gone out, sir—never thought of that; I went for the ugly monster with the big pistol there in the cabinet— which, by the way, sir, the low down villain stole when he locked me up and lit out." I had an Inspiration. "I see," I broke in carelessly; "and then you demanded to know where i w a s - t h a t it? Then you backed him to that window, and he told you he had chucked me into the street— whereupon you tried to blow off bis Head TBid KnoTSfced^the Jolly daylighta out of the lady with the fencing foil." Jenkins, his mouth agape, Viewed me with distended eyes. "I didn't tell you that, sir," he faltered. " H o w - ^ "And when you dropped the weapon," I went on, "this chap collared it, Jabbed the beastly thing into you, and told you to look at him. And by Jove, you wouldn't!" Jenkins groaned slightly. The apologetic cough with whleh he strove to mantle the sound was dry and spiritless. "So, sir; It seemed easier to die, sir,'1 he muttered—"what with him grinning like a fiend and his long teeth a-sticking out over his Up— ugh!" Then he added wonderingly: "But what gets mala how you should know, sir." X looked at him gravely. "Jenkins," I said gently, "I know, because it so happens I was here all the time." His eyes bulged incredulously. "You, sir? You mean in this room?" I nodded slowly. "I mean right In -this room—I was a witness of the whole thing." Jenkins Just gulped. I motioned to A chair. "You may sit down, Jenkins, my poor fellow," I said compassionately, rl poured out some whisky and gave It to him. "You must brace yourself for a treat shock, my poor Jenkins,". I said soothingly.

That you, Ughtnut?' came trtrvotce."Say, old chapv you reraember you said you wouldn't mind putting up the kid overnight on the way home from college. Remember? Wants to rest over and come up the river on the day line." Yes2 I remembered, and said so. "Airright, then! it's tonight. Be there abouT nine from Boston'. Don*r go to any trouble, now, nor alter any plans. The kid will probably bo dead feet sent my chair thudding hackward. "Why—er—good evening," I managed to stammer. Juat managed, you know, for, give you my word, I never was so bowled over in my life— never! And on the instant I gueBsed what it meant. The "kid" that Billings referred to wasn't a kid brother at all, but a kid sister -girl, by Jove! "Are you busy?" I saw the flash of her perfect little teeth as her lips parted in a smile. "If not, may I talk to you a while?" I mumbled something designed to be pleasant—dash me if I know what —and managed to summon sense enough to lift toward her a wicker arm-chair. Then I dashed Into my bedroom to chuck the smoking-Jacket and get into a coat. And all the while I was thinking harder than I ever had thought it possible. Just the thing to have expected of an ass like Billings—a fellow with no sense of the proprieties! His kind of mind had never got any further than the fact that I had a guest-room and a quiet apartment. The further fact that it was in a bachelor apartment house and I a bachelor—and not yet out of my twenties, dash it—would never have presented itself to a chump like Billings as having any bearing on the matter. "Of course, I must get right over to the club and leave her in possession— it's the only thing left to do." This waa my thought as I slipped into my coat and gave my hair a touch—Juat a touch, don't you know. The thing to do was to carry It off as naturally as possible for a few minutes, and then slip away. Probably she hadn't counted upon my being in town at all —had taken it for granted it was some sort of family apartment—with housekeeper, servant maids, all-that sort of thing. — "Now-, Just a few mtrrutea xst~conversation to put her at her ease," I reflected, "and then I'm off. I'll get J 1 Grinning Like a Fiend. % Jenkins just sat there, kind of'huddled dp, you know, and his face as white at. the what-you-call-it snow. Didn't seem able to say a word. By Jove, it t i g too much for me: my W r l i M . JonttnaV' I MM kiadtired and off to bed before you get home from your dinner." "That's all right, old chap; Jenkins will look after the young one." I heard Billings chuckle—1 remembered that chuckle afterward. "Not much of the young one there. Eighteen, you know. iCever off to school, though, until last year—and by George, it was time! Between my mother and my sister the kid was being absolutely ruined—pet**3<l, molycoddied, and was getting soft and silly— oh, something to make you sick. Well, so much obliged. Dicky. You know what these hotels are. Good-by." I explained to Jenkins. "All right, sir," he said. "I won't go out until after nine. It'll be time enough." And so I went off. I returned early, about ten, and sat reading. Jenkins was still away, and the door of my guest room was open. "Good evening!" *">"» vnlfta hflhlnri met waa aftft, nan. slcal, delicious. I whirled about, and there, within the door, leaning against the frame. was the most beautiful creature 1 ever saw In all my life, A girl! But oh, by Jove, such a girl! A lovely, rosy blonde, dash It! Goldetfbalred angel—long, droopy kind of laabes, don't you know—eyes like dreamy sapphire seas—oh, that sort of thing—a peach! The leer/ that brocsjfct mo do my the janitor's wife to come up and stay near her." And I dashed back, murmuring some jolly rubbish of apology. And then I Just brought up speechless—almost fell over backward. For as she stood there under the light, I saw that what I had taken for a dress of black silk was not a dress at all, but a suit or pajamas—black, filmy pajamas, whose loose elegance concealed but could not wholly deny the goddess-like figure within. "I'd have known you anywhere, Mr. Lightnut." And then I found that we were shaking hands, my Angers crushed in a grasp I never could have thought possible from that tiny hand. "Prom hearing Jack talk, your name is a sort of household word in the Billings family." I mumbled something jol^y i d i o t i c - some acknowledgment. But I was pink about the ears, and I knew it, whllfl ah ft warn Mini and M ^ » t B t t And her eyes looked at me through those drooping lashes oh, such a way! "Oh, no I assure certainly not," I stammered hastily. Dash It, I never was wo rebuked and mortified in all my lite. What an ass 1 hud been to beem to notice at all! She looked troubled. "Say, do you mind my wearing them?" she Inquired. "I? Certainly not well, I should say not!" I retorted, almost with indignation. "Sure?" Uy Jove, what rlpplug eyes she had! "Of course not!" emphatically. Her sunny head nodded satisfaction. "That's all right, then. I Waa afraid you wouldn't like it—afraid you would think I waa acting a little free. But your man Jenkins—isn't that his name? said he thought you woo Id like for me to wear them." 1 gasped. "Jen—what's that?" I was amazed, indignant at Jenkins' effrontery. "He —he suggested that you wear—er~- She nodded, her glorious eyes shinins wistfully. 'You see, I went to a frat dance last night in Cambridge," she explained; "and in the hurry this morning, somehow, one of my bags—a Bult-caae— was left behlud. And when I got here tonight and began piling the things out of my other bag—well, I saw I was up a tree. Not a thing to slip into, you know--not so much as a dressing-gown or even a bathrobe. Then your man saved, my life—suggested these pajamas. See?" "Oh, I see!" I said so; but, dash it, I wasn't sure I did, for I knew so devilish little about girts. "I must cut along now," I thought; "ipfernal shame to be taking advantage of her this way!" And then I thought I would Just wait a wee minute longer. Just then she turned toward me, her elbow on the arm of the wicker chair, her dainty, manicured fingertips supporting her chin. "You know, Mr. Lightnut, I wasn't sure you would remember me at all," she said. "I was such a kid when you saw me last." "Oh, yea," I said, trying-to recall the rather hoydenish children I had seen on the motor trip to Billings' home Ave years before. "I remember you were quite a little girl—weren't yoifc?^- I thought her face darkened a little; thenher-smHe"flashed throughr l!ke~ snnrshlTierTbreugfi-a? cloud. Her laugh came on top, like the mellow ripple of a tiny brook—that sort of thing—oh, you know! "Oh, I say now, Mr. Lightnut, cut out the Josh," she remonstrated; and I thought Bhe grew a little red. 'No more for mine those sissy, girlie ways —I've got well over all of that!" She tossed one knee over the other and threw herbe'lf back in the chair. She seemed a little piqued. She went on: "I just toll you what—there's nothing like a couple of years off at col- 'lego for toughening you!

Greeted Along the Line o*f His Rush Across the State by Big Crowds Anxious to See and Hear H i m . Col. Koosevell addressed a K'eat crowd in the Li^ht (iuard armory, Detroit, Saturdav ni^hi. Me spoke for jusi. an hour and while there were numerous flashes of enthusiasm, for the moat part lie was lisienrd lo witli respectful attention. Probably the most pointed statement he made was his admission that while president he had seized the Panama canal strip instead of waitinu for con- Kressional action. Li was expected that lie would have Homething to say about the recall of judicial decisions ami lie did at some length, but instead of reiterating his Columbus utterances he simply advocated a referendum on state- court interpretations of state constitutions in cases where it is found that they prevent the carrying out of laws in the interests of social justice, The colonel lauded the progressive members of congress for passing the* rate bill and scored the commerce court as a mischievous institution, lie also took occasion to say a good word for City Clerk Nichols, of Detroit, in this connection he declared that lie had not atsked a human being to support him, for the reason that he knew they would be threatened with political extinction, and for that reason was proud of the support of such a man as Nichols, Nor did the colonel forget to mention the fact that the legislature had you bet your life, and all the slushlness you get from trying to bo-Hk«- your sisters. Shucks!" I caught my breath. Of course, she had no idea how it sounded—this sort of talk; it was just her Innocent frankness, her—what d'ye call it?— her ingenuousness—dash It! She continued musingly: "(lee, but I was soft when I first went away—a regular pie-faced angel-chlld!" Her voice had in it a sneer. Then she straightened up, whirled her chair facing me, and gave me a sounding slap on the knee. "Say, maybe the fellows I met didn't educate that out of me mighty quick! Well, I reckon yes!'' And she nodded, eying me sidewise, her pretty chin in the air. But, dash me, I was so aghast I couldn't get out a word. Just sat there batting at her and turnlug hot and cold by turns. Came devilish near losing consciousness, by Jove, that's .what! ". .. .-." _I. __rrz .Z"" ' IIZ7I.. Of course, I knew she didn't know what she was talking about. Hadn't any sisters myself, don't you know, and never had learned much about other fellows' sisters; but, dash It, 1 knew something about faces, and I would have staked my life on hers. You can nearly always tell, you know. But, anyhow, I thought I had better go now. I got tip. "I say, you want to Just make yourself at home," I said. "And if you don't mind, I'll see you at the boat in the morning." She stood up, too, looking rather surprised. "You're not going away?" "Oh, no; not out of town." I thought that was what she meant. I added: "And as I go out, I'll stop down-stairs and have some one come up and stay with you." She dropped to the arm of the chair, her pretty face showing dismay. "Oh, but see here! I'm running you off—I know I am. Say, Mr. Lightnut, I don't want to do that. I thought ' sure you were going to be here. Brother insisted you would be." Brother! Nice brother, Indeed, for her—poor little thing! "Oh, you'll be all right," I said reassuringly. "I'm Just going over to the club, don't you know—not far away." She came right up to me and placed a hand on each shoulder. "HoBejt Injun, now," she said—and -c: lily of the what-you-calMt, don't you know. I was trying not to see the pajamas, trying to pretend not to no* tlce them, but dashed If I didn't only make It worse! For she looked down at herself with a laugh—rather an embarrassed laufh, I thought; and her little shrug and* glance directed attention to her attire. "I see you're looking at the pa- Jamas," she said smiling. her smile waa ravishing. "Honest, now, Mr. Lightnut, you're going Just because I'm here. Say now, own np!" And, dash it, there was nothing to do but admit it. (TO BR TfTNTINtTErV) Need Original Thinkers.

Her parents, Samuel atod Lena ira Mead, natives of New England, emigrated to Ohio in their early married life and thence to Farmington when the country was an unbroken wilderness. She was the first white girl born in Farmington. May 19, 1849, she was married to Dr. C.

At the age of thirteen years, Mrs. Haze united with the Baptist church of West Farmington, transferring her membership to the church of the same denomination when coming to Pinckney. In 1880, she united with the M. E. church, the Baptist of this place having disbanded, and was an active member until the infirmities of her declining years prevented her regular attendance.

On account of the blizzards the snow was very deep in many places and as the ground is frozen solid, most of the water remaines on top as the snow banks thaw out.

Y. and came with them to Michigan in 1842, settling in Rose, Oakland county. He united with the Mi E. church at Pontiac in 1856. In 1858 he commenced his public ministry and joined the Michigan Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church. H e preached in Shiawassee county. tbenarmostft wilderness. One of his early charges required nearly two hundred miles of travel on foot every four weeks with three sermons every Snnday. He was married to Miss Ellen Gilbert of Owoeso, September 4$ 185ft He remained with the Methodist Protestant Church 10 years, transferring to the Methodist Episcopal Church, Detroit Conferrence in September, 1868. From Mareiv 1890, to September, 1892, he was Associate editor and publisher of the Pacific Christian Advocate in Portland, Oregan. On returning to Michigan he re-entered the pastorate and was serving the 54th year of his work for the Matter when he was called home. Humor had a lrfrge place in his nature and its happy flow brightened his own more trying periods of life and lent warmth and radience to other lines. But serious thoughts claimed attention as the following quotation from words written to a friend attest "O, to be more like Christ, more useful, more humble, more prayerful and more faithful." To Mr. and Mrs. Hicks were born two sons and a daughter, the latter dying in infancy. Gilbert H , the older son was connected with the department of agriculture in Washington, 1). C, in the botanical division, for four years, dying in December, 1898. The young* er son, Frederic 0., is now professor of economic* in the University of Cincinatti, Ohio.

Dinkehox fltmbar What Makes Bran and Midds So High ? Here are a few facts about it. The demand for winter wheat flour is decreasing every year because of the fact that the people of this country are buying bakers bread. Now if everybody was to use the bakers product and not make bread or biscuits the consumption of dour would be far below what it is today Here is another point; the demand for bran and middlings ^6? the increase of the for yourself Mr. Conis increasing every year on account dairy business. You can figure it out aumer. You can help by using winter wheat flour and making yonr own bread thus creating a demand for the flour. Unless we sell the flour we cannot make the bran and middlings.

She was downright angry—I could see it; and how" distractingly lovely she was with that flame in her cheeks!

"Look here, I do wish you would let rue call you 'Dicky.' " "Oh, I say—will you?" exploded from my mouth.r "Will I?" Her look made my blood leap. "You just watch me—Dicky!

"1 hope you will always call me Dicky," I said—and said it very softly. By Jove, I could hardly keep from taking her hand! "You bet I think It's awfully good of you, Llghtnut—I mean, Dicky." Then her face grew pensive. "Say, do you know, I need a friend like you—just now, I mean—oh, worst kind." "Do you?" I said eagerly, and hitched nearer.

I wasn't sure that I did, for Bhe was blushing-furiously,—and—in—her eyes was an appeal. By Jove, some jolly love affair, I guessed suddenly.

"No, he never thought; !it; he knew.4 wouldn't! He knew 1 would be tearing around all night with the boys—that's what!" And dash me, if she didn't throw herself back with a kind of swagger, "Why, you—you wouldn't do such a thing!" I uttered faintly. "Wouldn't I?" She, straightened suddenly. and her lovely blue eyes nar* rowed at me. "Say, Mr. Lightnut, 1 doirt-wairt Totr to get me aised up • wrong. I'm none of your little waxy gardenias—not much! When I'm In iNew York, It's the bright lights and rthe Great White Way for mine—yes, sir, -every time!" And she gave mc a blow on the Khoulder that was like a stroke from a man's arm. It sent me down into my chair. | "If you don't believe me," she added, ber face shining with excitement, «"Just you ask Jack about last snmmer ^when I came through—about that Joy !-rfte to Coney with three Columbia felpows^ and how we got pinched. Oh, iinamma, bat didn't Jack swear at SB6: > 1 beard a noise by the door. JeniHt& B stood there, his eyes sticking out .like aard boiled eggs, j "I—r» back, sir," he said rather tertagly.

And I juat settled on that, and wan ready to die right then and there if anybody darod to dispute It. I didn't care a jolly hang how she talked; it was Just nothing—just th« demoralizing swagger of a little boarding-school girl trying to show off like her brothers. And her language? Why, just the devilish, natural result of having a coarse, slangy bruto llko BllUngu for a brother, Poor little girl! It was a beastly shame. She was watching me curiously, Bmilingly, as she sat there, her devilishly pretty mouth puckored into a cherry as she softly whistled^ and drummed her shining nails tipon the chair arm, "I'm afraid I've Bhocked you," she said. "Jack says you're so good " Dash it, somehow I felt humiliated! She said it in a way that made me feel like a silly ass, you know, But she wasn't thinking about me any more. Her eye fell on the tabouret, and he little hand stretched toward it. "May I?"#he said wTth an arch Inquiring glance. "Your cigarettes look good-ta me.. L emptied my case an hour ago." And I proffered them with a show of alacrity. "Pray, pardon me," I said. "1—I never thought of you smoking." A chuckle came through the tiny teeth grasping the cigarette. "Thought I was too goody-goody, eh?" "Do—er—you smoke much?" I ventured anxiously. "Cigarettes, you know?" She pulled a sparkling half-inch as she took her little head. I felt awfully relieved. "Not for me," she remarked carelessly. "I prefer a pipe." "Pipe!" I repeated feebly. The golden head Inclined. "Bet you! Qood old, well-seasoned brier for mine—well-caked and a little •trong." Puff-puff. "Oh, damn your patent sanitary pipes, I say!" And as backward I col lapsed upon the cushions, sfee threw h e r l e g over the arm of her chair and shot two long cones of smoke from her dainty nostrils. "Gee, but it's warm tonight, isn't it?" she remarked absently. And there was nothing to.do but take the hint or leave it; and after ail, she was a guest, you know! "Perhaps you will permit me to offer you some refreshment," i suggested, rising. I knew it sounded devilish Htiff; and I knew, moreover, that I looked like a jolly muff, ia fact. "Perhaps I will/'^she chuckled. "Say, don't urge mo too hard, Mr, Lightnut; CHAPTER VI. Arcadian Simplicity. A moment later I had another shock. "I dori! blame you for looking at me so hard," she said, rubbing her chin and looking, I thought, a little confused. ."For did you ^evor see a face like mine?" "I—I never did!" I said stammeringly, for, by Jove, the question was so unexpected; but I knew I said it earnestly and with conviction in every word. ' She nodded. "Never got a chance to shave, you know—caught the train by such a margin—and my kit's in that other bag. Ouesa I'll have to impoae you might embarrass me." 1 did not want to embarrass her. "I thought perhaps a lemon soda would refresh ycra," I explained. "Or, If you will allow me. I will have Jenkins make you one cf his famous seltzer lemonades. Perhapfh^hougtk, you would prefer juat a plain—" I halted in • confusion, for she was laughing at me. "A plain cup of tea," she gurgled, "or a creme de menthe!" And then her laughter buret delfciously. "Say, do you know, honestly, I'm only just getting on to that dry humor of yours, You've had me fooled. You do it with such a serious face, you know, Say, it's great T" _ I tried tQ_s_mlIe, but I knew it was a devilish sickly go—the more so, because just at that moment her slender fingers discarded the remnant of her last cigarette and reached for a cigar. Another lnatant, and she had deftly clipped and lighted i t I decided I wouldn't ring for—Jenkins. I felt ashamed as I looked in the cellarette, and wondered what the deuce I should offer her. Couldn't think of anything I had ever heard of boarding-school girls going in for except Ice-cream soda; and, dash it, 1 didn't have any Ice-cream soda. Nearest thing would be a little seltzer and ginger ale. That would do. "Oh, I say, I'm going to make you a highball," I said, trying to assume a frisky, jocular air. Her voice lifted in alarm. "Nay, nay, Clarence—not for me!" she urged hastily. "But it's only—" "No flzzy adulterations in mine— not on your life." She followed me across the room. "Just give me the straight, pure goods—anything, Just so .it's whisky." And before I could say a word—If, indeed, I could have said a word—she had selected a decanter of Scotch, and with cigar tilted upward in her tender mouth, was absorbingly pouring a shining stream of the amber fluid. To see the slow curving of that delicately molded wrist, the challenging flash of the saucy eyes of blue, by Jove, It made me just forget all about what she was doing till the fluid ran over the brim. And then, before I could intercept her, she had lightly gestured her glass to mine, and in a flash the stuff was gone. —GoneJ—A full whisky glass; and I her-—I-tnade up-my—mind-,—thea-andthere, to put myself aside. "Devilish glad—I mean delighted to have you tell me anything," I murmured rather weakly; "but—er—I should think jour mother—" "The mater—tell her!" Her hand lifted. "She'd guy the life out of me! Besides, she's in Europe." She paced to the window and back, I protested indignantly: "I don't see how any mother—" Aw, forget It'" she broke i'a, and 1 winced again at slang from those sweet lips. "No, sir; I'm going"to unload the whole thing on you, or no* body." —Anar by Jove, the next thing 1 kneW sins had perched on the broad arm of the Morris chair in which I sat, her arm resting lightly above my should ders. "ifere's* what I want to know about,'1" I heard her sigh. "When you're engaged to one person and meet another you like better, how are you gorng to—well, chuck it with the first, yotr know—and still do the square- thing? There, that's what hit me, Dicky; and I'm up against it for fair!-" Her hand gently patted my shoviider. "I'm telling you, old chap, because I know you'll understand— becaoso I like you better than any man I ever saw—that's right!" I was just afraid to move! Afraid shed stop; afraid she'd go on. And all the while I was feeling happier than I ever had in all my life—happier than 1 ever knew people could be, you know. I never thought her bold "-dash it, no—knew it was Just her adorable, delicious, Arcadian simplicity, by Jove! That explained it, just as ft explained to me all her other unconventionally. "So now It's up to you," she said, "and I want to know what's the answer." *, The answer! And how could I give her any answer? No, by Jove, I knew jolly well I couldn't take advantage of such circumstances— of her artless confession; knew devilish well it wouldn't do, you know. Might reproach me in years to come; and then—and then, there was Billings! So I Just contented myeelf with looking up smilingly, but tt was hard— awfully, awfully hard, dash it—and I just felt like a Jolly cad—or fool. Couldn't tell which. Hard Boiled Eggs.—Egg salads will be in demand soon and they afford an opportunity for the cook to display her skill in arranging and garnishing. The eggs must be hard boiled and this is accomplished best by putting them into cold water, bringing it to the boiling point and allowing it to simmer for 25 minutes. Drop the eggs into cold water, then remove the shells and cut in fancy shapes. DaiBy Egg Salad.—One way to make an attractive salad is to cut the eggs in halves lengthwise, take out the yolks and cut the whites into eighths in long strips. Lay round on a bed of shredded lettuce like the petals of a daisy and sift the yolk through a gravy strainer into a heap in the center. A second method is to cut in halves acro§s the smaller part and use each half of the yolk for a center. Cut the half of the white into eighths which will have one pointed end and form into petals around the center; each egg will make two "daisies." Water Lily Egg Salad—For a cup use lettuce leaves on a plate and lay the long strips cut by the first plan In BO that they will curve upward and fill the center with sifted yolk; this closely resembles a water lily. Notched Egg Cup Salad,—For a change cut the smaller diameter of the egg round in a zigzag line with a small pointed kitchen knife and separate the halves. Cut a tiny slice from the small end and set upright among the lettuce leaves. To Shred Lettuce—To shred letluce use only the coarser leaves, reserving the cup-shaped for the edge of- the- salaA—Roll the^e-iaxge-1 Lightly, then slice from one end with i sharp knife and shape up loosely. It is an economical and appetizing way to use the outer leaves, which are fresb_and green and yet not as -deiieafe as the b«ar4^1eaves.-1-Alice EWhitaker. Deviled Eggs.—Out hard boiled eggs in two, mash yolky with paprika, mustard, celery salt, butter and Worcestershire sauce until it has become a thick, moist paste; All this moisture in the egg white, press the two firmly together and set in a cool place until wanted. Nice for the lunch basket. Baked Omelet.—One tablespoon flour, one tablespcwa hot butter, one cup hot milk, half teaspoon salt, onefourth teaspoon pepper, six beaten <pggB, one teaspoon baking powder. Stir the flour into the batter and add on you in the morning for one of your razore." I stared at her in horror. teated blankly. "Myself, yon mean?

S. senate the other day, comprises 160 acres of the most fertile soil and with remarkably easy settlement "conditions. Then watch the resutts, whether it be on this free homestead of 160 acres or on land which he may purchase at from $15. to $20. per acre, fully as good as the $100. and $150. per acre land of his native state, and which his means will not permit hie purchasing. On the part of the members of the TJ. S. Senate and Congress there is nothing but praise for Canada. Canadian laws and Canadian lands although the reasonable desire is shown in their remarks>that they pass legislation, (which is very praiseworthy) that will make the land laws of the United States much easier. It is the success of the American settler in Canada that attracts others, and when experiences such as the following are related to the friend "back home" is it any wonder t£at increased interest is aroused and a determination arrived at, to participate in the new-found way up in Canada that means wealth and health and all that accompanies it. William Johnston, who formerly lived at Alexandria, Minn., settled in the Alberg District near Battle River and in writing to one of the Canadian Government agentB, located in the United States says: "We have had n o failures of crops during our nine years in Canada. I threshed 1208 bushels of wheat and 1083 bushels of oats in 1911, off my 160 acres. This is a beautiful country. I keep six good work horses and milk seven cows, getting good prices for butter and eggs. We get •-coal for $2.00 per ton at the mine, about one mile from the farm. Am about one and a half miles from a fine school. As for the cold weather it is much milder here than in Minnesota, where I lived fpr_ 21 years.

Washington.—Some one with a grievance or with an unbalanced mind has been Beribbling on tho walls of the capital in "a large, fre<2 hand" with blue chalk various uncomplimentary comments about great and almost great statesmen doing their country's service In Washington. No matter what the motive which inspires the scribbling, the act is one of a vandal because it disfigures the walls of the building, and the police and the watchmen are trying to catch the culprit. It will be remembered that not long ago a large piece was cut out of the oil painting of "Perry at Lake Erie." Since then a special watch has been kept to prevent repetitions of the vandalism. False Alarm About Webster. Washington was much disturbed a day or two ago when It heard that somebody with a chisel had chipped pieces out of the marble trousers and the marble coattail of the statue of Daniel WebBter which stands in Statuary hall. A close inspection has led to the discovery that the Webster memorial has not been injured by the hand of man. Elliott Woods, the superintendent of the capital, says that the holes which were discovered- in the Webster statue were put there by the sculptor and have been plainly visible ever Bince the statue was erected. Some one suggested that the vandal who was at work was a new kind of which had developed an ;ippetite for marble garments. Former Vice-President Levi P. Morton has made up his mind to come back and live in the capital for eight or nine months a year for the rest of hls'Tire". "He""owTTS~a T>ea"utlful *rest^ de h ce^nr^R ft otle he lived when of the United States under Harrison. When Mr. Morton went but of office the Russian ambassador moved into the residence and, following him, came Secretary of State Elihu Hoot, and then John Hays Hammond. Mr. Morton <; himself lived there for a few months two years ago. Morton Mansion In Peril. There is a fine arts commission which is supposed to take'.cognizance of every attempt to increase the beauty of the capital, a cognizance which embraces the overlooking of •improvements in public- buildings,—The wish propriution of $10,000 for plana alone. The sum of |1,500 i3 suggested for a small statue to C a p t Charles Wilkes, who is chiefly celebrated in popular recollection for takhxs; Maaon and Slidell, the Confederate corrdnisaioaers, from the British mail steamer Trent in 1861. The United States government did not back up. Captain Wilkes in bis a c t of taking t a e Confederate commissioners off t h e British vessel. In fact, nearly all diplomats thought, and think today, that Wilkes acted without proper authority under international law and t h a t the Confederate and the British governments had a perfect right to protest, and that the United States authorities could do nothing else tlian to disavow the naval officer's act. Admirers of Major Andrew S. Rowan, U. S. A., who is still living, have put in a bill appropriating $5,000 for some memorial of his famous exploit in 1S98, when he was sent by President McKinley to Cuba to communicate with General Garcia, the leader of the Cuban revolution. He made a landing from an open boat n e a r Turquino Peak and with much difficulty succeeded in reaching Garcia. M a n n la Friend of Poultry. Representative Mann of Illinois, who is the leader of the Republican minority on t h e floor of the house, has introduced a bill to require all common carriers engaged in interstate commerce to provide food and water for poultry in transit, and to prevent suffering from over-crowding by providing crates of sufficient size tt) be humane and ta be open Oh" at least three sides so that proper ventilation may be assured. Congress has acted before this on behalf of cattle in transit and now it is proposed to extend the humane effort to chickens. One congressman said that because chickens wore feathers it was supposed t h a t they were not susceptible to cqld. Ho added, however, that feathers, while warm, did not provide food and drink. The bill has gone to the proper committee and there is a fair chance of its passage. House "Babies" Have Frolic.

It is understood that Vice-President Morton intends to ipen"d"$TOiW"~catn*1' was-p4fteed-ofi--the -free-Mat »+4aNawratHCHW>Mgny.xn,i.Noa.sp.*> a a i A t rrLtsv M UHaoesdpliataFlrse' i rBnToAsDnD-Im* nDztiS tJ l»t to DR. Ml to improve his Rhode Island avenue home. Today it is beautiful as it is, u warm red brick pleasing -to look upon and suggestive in every way of comfort. It is now said that it is intended to give the house a more stately appearance by the introduction of white marble in places. The old house lias been a comfort to the eye of many a Washingtonian man and visitors, and the changes are awaited with trepidation. Children's Playground Lost. Washington, with all her monuments and statues, good, bad and indifferent, and all her vacant land, still has-n-ot space left in which to erect public memorials, and it ought to be said also that projects more necessary to the public health than marble statues, like Qlaygrounds for the children, cannot be thought of apparently because of lack of room. Fnr two yearB by means of private subscriptions, for example, a little grove at the corner of Fourteenth street and Columbia road has been used as a playground and fitted up for t h e children. It was covered with oak trees of priceless value, as far a s thefr shade qualities are concerned, and was one of the most picturesque spots In th« city. It is in the heart of a thickly settled district, where It is a cruelty to keep children within doors and a continual danger t o let them out on the streets. Nevertheless congress, which would spend $75,000 for a Federal building in a town of 281 inhabitants, neglected to secure this breathing space. The magnificent oak trees are being cut down, and where last summer t h e place was alive with children, a family hotel will stand. Many Monuments Projected. Should congress be In a giving mood toward the shades of the dep a r t e d , it Is a question where suitable sites for memorials could be obtained. The demand for space is in- ^•iftent, and the senate committee on 'Wltfrjr has record of no less than requests, while, the house com • * * » * as a^aasaeSSkff^a saw SraaaaR MSP an, BtffwBfnfflr t a M*MraTUP>j,nran KFIM0E STftMl- • •saberttsfebss oaiy U dojubtless has as many more. 1A'"fill appropriating $100.006 for a fJtliue of Alexander Hamilton already puieq trie •gnati: 16 tbe e Sf.f Its tla, a>ITH(W t, NO. 4«*1t M#L* •The sum of $50,000 Is wanted for a statue to Matthew Fontain* Maury, the American naval officer whose ±^Wf«*tMe " T ,1 in rlr+trs nf the tea Is among the classics.

No party lines were drawn at thiH gathering, Republican and Democratic: babies had fun together. The tariff came In for a bit of by-play. Protective Duty on Cats. A high protective duty was put on cats in order to protect the home industry. Kvery feline, whether a wild-cat a polecat or a domestic cat Imported into the United States or its island possessions, it was decided, must hereafter pay $1 a head in order to be admitted to full American catizenship. As a/ rider to this bill A prize was offered to the member who could make the most stirring oration on the American flag. Representative Littleton was chosen as judge, but the oratorical flights of Representative Connell of New York and Witherspoon of Mississippi were so nearly equal in grace and distance that the judge gave each the lirst p ri?,e. The senate galleries broke out into applause the other day when tbe name of Theodore Roosevelt was mentioned. The senate gallery has applauded at times the names of William Jennings Bryan and of many other well-known Americans without regard to political party, but it must be understood that it is against the rules of the senate to allow applause in the gallery. Mustn't Applaud In Senate. It makes no difference who it is that is receiving the applause, the vice-president must bring down his gavel while the noise is continuing Mid say with all due eolemity and severity that all demonstrations of approval are not allowed and that if they do not ceaso "the galleries win be cleared." This word from the vice-president has been said thousands of times in the senate and its effect has never been visible for more than a n hour at a time. It is only rarely that the cenators themselves laugh and it is only once in a lifetime that they applaud. The cases where senators have broken the applause rule can be counted on half the fingers of one hand. The senate, however, has its . jokes frequently and while laughter is subdued, broad smiles are always In evidence. When Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver, now dead, referred to Senator Francis E. Warren of Wyoming as "the greatest shepherd since Abraham," the broadest of broad smiles was visible on the face of every senator. The wool bill was under discussion and Mr. Warren is said to be t h e proprietor of a considerable fold. bulldog, was found in the house so nearly Btarved that it could not bark. .Jackson.- C a r l l>e Strange and Frank Hogati, charged with larceny from the Ideal theater, were arraigned in circuit court.

The UnHappy Pit Two men who worked a farm on shares dissolved partnership sod divided up the stock, etc. However one pig was left over which both claimed and not being able to agree, took their dispute to the neighborhood Solon to settle and the following is his account of it^ Bill and Pole worked a big farm, And stocked it up with care, Bill kept a pig beneath bis arm, In which Pete had no share. And when the deal was all complete And they to work began, Bill said, "I'll drop this pig in, Pete. And take him out again." And so Bill set the porker free, He grew and and thrived amain, And then one day they came to me, To take him out again. And I said, "sure that is no trick, I'll do it with a will, Such stunts as that I do real quick, Here take your old pig Bill." At that Pete gave a mighty yell, And said, that "pig's my meat" I said/'Let's see, I guess so, well, Come, take the old pig Pete." Then William let a mighty roar, That got me all fussed up, And Pet got mad and raved and tore And said 1 was a pup. I said hold on ' 'I mean all right, I'm tired from my labors, I've worked at this from morn till Say, let's call in the neighbors." The neighbors cams and said he! he) The thing is very plain, Just give that little pig to us, We'll pass him on again." And so the pig was passed around, To Bill first then to Pete, Until the pig fell to the ground, And said that he was beat. Well, soon the poor pig they forgot, But still they guessed and tried, One said I thought I knew a lot, Another said he lied. And so the battle-r*v«driBd~roare3, It had then for three nights, At last I turned them all out doors, And blew out all the lights. Oht poor unhappy little pig! .. ila*» you no hom*,or two2 Though you are hot so very big, I don't know what to do. For if I give you op to Bill, Pete says that he'll be beat, I have a mind to feed you swill, And chop you into meat. But stay, I guess I have it now, Another pig I'll buy, Then j u t to stop this beastly row, I'll pat him in the sty. Then Bill can come and get his pig, That will be nice yon see. And Pete can come and get his pig, But say, who will pay me. I never thought of thafbefore, ^~~" But still I do not care, I'd rather give a pig, or more, Than hear I was atft fair.

On F e b r u a r y 1 t h e system of labor e x c h a n g e s instituted lu Errgland by zu-t of P a r l i a m e n t had received a two y e a r s ' trial, and t h e results havo an i n t e r e s t in this country, w h e r e similar p l a n s for bringing unemployed labor in touch with employers have been agitated. T h e r e a r e now 2G1 ext nange-6 as compared with t h e 82 with which the experiment was begun. During 1910 notification of 458,943 vacancies was given by employers, of which 37:i,:n:i were filled by t h e exchanges, and d u r i n g 19H t h e s e figures rose to 757,109 and 589,770, respectively. In 1911 casual employment w a s provided t h r o u g h the exchanges for 112,492 men and 12.S12 women. I^ast year ¢4/901 vacancies w e r e filled by the transfer of applicants to dist r i c t s other t h a n those in which they w e r e registered. To facilitate this m o v e m e n t of labor from one p a r t of t h e country to another, an obstacle to which in the case of women worke r s is the lack of suitable lodgings, t h e suggestion is made of establishi n g women's hotels in connection with t h e exchanges. During 1911 t h e dem a n d for operatives exceeded t h e supply in t h e cotton, woolen and worsted t r a d e s , and Jn t h e case of women In t h e clothing t r a d e s and in t h e laundry work. One favorable outcome of t h e e x p e r i m e n t Is t h e growing confidence shown by both employers and workm e n in t h e system and the prospect of friendly co-operation in extending Its scope. One of t h e curious provisions of the woman suffrage law of California calls for t h e registration of the height of women voters.

Three r e c e i v e r s for Ihe P e r e Marpueite Railroad Co. were appointed by I'nited S t a t e s District J u d g e Angel).

The receivership w a s agreed upon following the refusal of t h e Michigan •state railroad commission to allow the issuance of additional C per cent bonds by*wiiieh the railroad hoped io •recuperate from its stringent financial condition. The receivership authorized by J u d g e Ange-11 provides t h a t all t h e property and connections of t h e P e r e Marquette system shall be administered as a unit and directs the receiver** to carry on t h e affairs of t h e road with the smallest change consist e n t with the interests of the ,creditors and t h e future of the system.

Taupe Veil, With Bonnet to Match, is Among the Moat Appropriate of the Designs Offered—Bright Colors Favored. Small straw bonnets, sailors and light felt hats have no rivals in popularity when the question of automobile headwear comes up for settlement. S h e who buys a h a t for this purpose remembers that a veil must be worn with it, both for comfort and protection. Washable chiffon in light colors and in gray and taupe makes the prettiest veils and those In deep cream or light blue are especially becoming. The taupe veil with bonnet to match is very elegant. This color does not need to be washed a s often as lighter ones, but this may or may not be considered a n item in its favor. Taupe colored headwear Is brightened by small touches of the most vivid colors in its trimming, like that in a small cluster of cherries, or little hand-made silk roses in bright pink, made and sewed fiat to the bonnet or hat. Cerise Is a favorite color In combination with taupe. float when not needed over the face. The soft felt hat is most comfortable, but not appropriate for everyone and therefore not becoming to many faces. it is "floppy" and apt to look rakiHh. Pretty, youthful faces can "carry it off" unless the figure is stout. It is the hat for a girl slender and young; the fortunate type that can wear everything. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. QUAINT CONCEIT COMES BACK Choux of Ribbon, Silk or Velvet, So Popular Some Time Ago, Is to Be Revived. A quaint conceit which is Deing revived on several models is t h e large choux of ribbon or silk velvet, repeating, perhaps, the note of color at t h e waist and placed at the side front about nine inches up from the f o o t In fact, w e appear to be in for a revival of t h e s e contrasting choux of silk or velvet, which were such an infliction some years ago. They are applied to the corsage or skirt more oi less indiscriminately, and bear n o relation to t h e general design of the model. Just now t h e Idea i s quite endurable, especially when carried out a? on a white batiste frock with a Vshaped lace vest at the neck let into a large plain vest of fine embroidered batiste. T w o large diamond shaped pieces of lace on t h e shoulders head All the small bonnets of straw and , t w o - s o f t f o l d s of batiste, which .cross the n e w straw sailors, are made in Medical Genius. An old doctor, seeing a young one who was going along the street with half a dozen shabby-looking men and women, called him aside and asked: "Who are all those people, and where are you gojng with them?" "I will tell you in confidence," was the reply, "that I've hired them to come and sit In my reception room.

Remember this in making a selection, for the coming summer. Fashion favors millinery that is cheerful and bright. Street hats and bonnets, including midsummer sailors, are made in rose-pink, light green, light blue, purple, lavender, cerise and rose color as well as in quieter colors, and tkey have a lot of "go" and distinction. Small bonnets are faced with silk, which may be plain or flowered or striped, n o t t o mention t h e changeable tones which are liked s o much. Bows of ribbon or silk and small flowers of silk are used for trimming and are posed flat to the body of tbe hats or bonnets. The veil i s shirred o n a narrow ribbon or elastic band and slipped over t h e bat, where it stays, be the wind more or less boisterous. A^ double-width chiffon, t w o yards long, makes a sensible veil that may be brought about the neck and is not too long to be thrown back and left to MILLINERY MODELS ARE MANY over in front into a swathed waist belt of soft mauve silk, finishing with an enormous choux at the left front. The skirt i s on simpler lines, gathered into t h e waist. A band of t h e lace is applied about a foot up from five b e m r a n d just above tbi*SS(fr iff-* line with that at the waist is a very large rosette bow. These touches of mauve were quite delightful. A similar note w a s sounded on the white baby hat, which had a wreath of tiny mauve roses encircling t h e m o b crown. Another model in spotted muslin also had a little cross over bodice folded over a soft fold of pale green silk. The waist belt and rosette are in pale green silk and a large flat rosette headed an open seam, revealing a lace inset. These introductions of colored silks into white lingerie and muslin frocks are very much to be -noted just now Wardrobe Hints. Green, which is, above all colors, the most springlike, has hopes of com' ing into its own again, and the hue predominates in many of the new tailor- mades, and particularly in mixed serges. Belts of all kinds are again appearing, and the belted Russian blouse for outdoor wear will likely be very often seen during the coming spring months. RATINE LINING. White ratine, as a lining for black or colored faille or satin coats, i s one of the smart things in handsome suits. Tbe white cloth comes o u t in collar and cuffs, with big buttons covered with silk or satin. Black gowns of t h e kind a r e used in half mourning. Designer* Have Been Busy, and Surely All Tastes May Be Satisfied With the Styles. A neat little morning hat with a helmet crown and curled brim made of sapphire blue straw has a couple of lime green feathers upon it and no other trimming at all—a curious combination of dyes, but quite pleasing. • Another model is of the beret shape, developed in a chip of a steel gray shade; on the drooping side - of the \ crown is plastered a perfectly flat bunch of rosea surrounded by leaves. The flowers look as if they had been pressed in a book. Pure green, pink and orange are the colors of the bnds that in sections of each color make a strange decoration for a cinnamon colored straw hat, all the stranger since out of the center of the flowers rises a handful of cerise plumage. As if in feverish seal to produce novelties, the milliners are making wings of straw and flowers, and straw ribbon \% quite an ordinary anomaly. Brtese Baskets.

Something In I t Governor Beryl Carroll of Iowa has an amusing story of a state senator whose amusing appearance might possibly lead one to mistake him for a laboring man, but who is a s sensitive as a woruau to all unpleasant circumstances. "This man,' said Governor Carroll, "happened to be standing outside a Des Moines undertaking establishment, conversing with a friend on political matters, when one of t h e employes came out of the shop and said: " 'Say, will you give us a lift with a casket?'

In the Philippines, where most of t h e automobilists are foreigners, and where the natives have been used to loiter comfortably in the roads after t h e fashion ot easy-going southern countries, the automobiles have long been a grievance, and, failing to secure effective regulation, the Filipinos have adopted the practice of rolling big boulders into the roadway as a hint not to turn corners at a breakneck speed.

Why Should a Chicken Lay a Soft-Shelled Egg? Because, Willie, the chicken dont know how to create a hard-shelled egg unless it has some food with lime in it. So chicken-raisers often provide limestone gravel, broken oyster shells or some other form of Hme. Let the chicken wander free and it finds its own food and behaves sensibly. Shut it up and feed stuff lacking Kme and the eggs are soft-shelled. Let's step from chickens to human beings. Why is a child "backward" and why does a man or woman haye nervous pros~ nation or brain-fag > There may be a variety of reasons but one thing is certain. If the food is deficient in Phosphate of Potash the gray matter in the nerve centre* and brain cannot be rebuilt each day to make good the cells broken down by the activities of yesterday. Phosphate of Potash is the most important element Nature demands to unite albumin and water to make gray matter. Grape-Nuta food is heavy in Phosphate of Potash in a digestible form.

The Orchestral Entertainers is a company composed of fonr sisters— the Misses Gladys, Edith, Francis and Inez Maurer. For versatility on musical instruments and *'making good," their parallel is seldom found. The instruments are the cornet, the cello, violin and the flute. In this respect they fill an important part on the Lyceum platform for there is much demand for just such a combination and the only reason is that there are comparatively few such combinations, is because verstaility in music is so apt to be accompanied by mediocrity., The members of this company have rightly worked their way up to a place on the Red path list of talent. The Redpath Bureau, as the oldest bureau in the world, has a reputation at stake which must not be sacrificed by inferior talent. For that reason, at the request of the committee they are sending this extra number free of charge.

The United States department o agriculture attributes most of the re1 ported decrease to the brood diseases of bees which are now found widely distributed In the United States. Where disease exists the bee keepers often lose colonies and attribute their loss to some other.cause. It is quite possible to keep bees with profit with disease prevalent in the neighborhood provided the bee keeper knows how to treat the disease. » MAKING HEAVY WAGON JACK List of Material Required Includes Four Pieces of Wood, Three Bolts and Two Screws.

Ten pounds of sugar fed to the bees when maples are in bloom will make them .swarm two weeks earlier than otherwise, and we all know the value of having the swarms at their best during white clover and basswood flow.

There is also a considerable decrease in the number of farms reporting bees. Since bee keeping is one of the important and profitable minor branches of agriculture, this decrease among farmer bee keepers is unfortunate. No returns are available for bee keepers in towns and cities.

Too much care can hardly be taken in making sure that no weed seeds are sown with your grain, seed. It is well to remember that commercial fertilizers should not replace farm manures, but simply reinforce them. Hollyhocks and golden-glow may be grown along the fence at the back or side of the house, and require but little room. Squash bugs may be trapped by laying shingles near the plants.

In a report of the House Committee (Washington) appears the following: "Canada offers a three-year homestead upon good land, easily reclaimed and cultivated, with six months' leave of absence each year and moBt lenient regulations." All of which Is true and it is now the part of the careful reader to consider the opportunities that exist in Western Canada which, in addition to the above, are attractive features. The evidence of these is found in the letters contributed by some of the settlers. For instance: A former Minnesotan, writing from Warner, Southern Alberta, speaks of that district, but what he says, applies generally to all of Southern Alberta. He says: "I have seen six crops, four of them were first class, one of them a very good crop, a::d the other a poor crop. Government rustics for the last fifteen years s! that this country has averaged a'.- fifteen or sixteen inches of inch e. In 1910 there was only seven inches, and in 1911 twentytwo inches. The 1909 crop was about as good as I have seen in this country and we had about twelve inches of moisture, so that I am thoroughly convinced that with normal conditions, that is, from twelve to fifteen inches of moisture, and with the natural in-' crease of population and Immigration, that Southern Alberta will be one of the very best mixed farming districts in the world. We haye good soil, good water, and a good climate, and altogether Just as desirable a country to live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or Wisconsin." Hundreds of letters are on file from former American Bettlers, which give good reasons why the Western Canada lands are being settled so rapidly. Full particulars can be had of any Canadian Government Agent, who will furnish literature and give low rate certificates. Excursions are being run daily. After sympathizing with people who are in trouble many a man begins to feel like a hypocrite. OXLY ONE "BROKO QV1X1SE." That in LAXATtVB BROMOOtflNINK Look for the Bignattrre of B W GROVTfl.

The Republican state convention, foi selection of delegates to the national convention, held in Bay City on the 11th, was one of most extraordinary features in which the state militia and the city's police force were prominent figures, and the result is a delegation composed ot Taft supporters and one of Roosevelt adherents.

The two factions fought for control of the Bay City convention with a flercenesB rarely, if ever before, equaled in a Michigan convention. There were •some very unusual methods employed, there was much bitter incrimination, iand finally a split, two conventions, two sets of delegates and as a result, not favorable to a harmonious settlement even in the national convention, where final decision as to which dele* gation is the legally chosen one.

CLARA BARTON IS DEAD Pounder of the Red Cross Society Dies at Her Home In Glen Echo, Md. Miss Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross society, died at her home in Glen Echo, 13d. The cause of her death was chronic pneumonia, with which Bhe was stricken about a year ago. Her brother, Stephen Barton, of Boston, was with her when tshe died. Clara Barton was born at Oxford, Mass., in 1821. Early in the civil war she was a clerk in the patent office at Washington. Day after day she read accounts of the suffering of soldiers in raVii) ami in hospital until she could endure no longer the heartache it gave her. The national military hospital department was at first quite unprepared for the task suddenly thrown upon it. At length Miss Barton resigned her clerkship to go as a volunter unpaid army nurse in hospital and on the battlefield. She likewise called on generous civilians to contribute to the relief of the soldiers. So much good did she and her helpers do that in 18(14 she was appointed to take charge of the hospital of the army in front of Richmond. She was on the field in several battles.

A BLOOD MEDICINE ALCOHOL.] Recently it has been definitly proven by experiments on animals that akonot towers the germicidal power of the body and that alcohol paralyzes the white cor- EUBclea of the blood and renders them unable to take up and destroy disease germs, disease germs cause the death of over one-half of the human raoe. A blood medicine, made entirely without alcohol, which is a pure glyceric extract of roots, such as Bloodroot, Queen's root, Golden Seal root, Mandrake and Stone root, has been extensively sold by druggists for the past forty years as Dr. . PieccVs Golden Medical Discovery. The refreshing influence of this extract is like Nature's influence—the blood is bathed in the tonic which gives life to the blood— the vital fires of the body burn brighter and their increased activity consumes the tissue rubbish which has accumulated during the winter. Dr. R. V. Pierce, the founder of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, and a physician of large experience and practice, was the first to make up an ALTERATIVE EXTRACT of roots, without a particle of alcohol or narcotic.

TO KEEP LICE FROM POULTRY One of Most Difficult Problems T h a t Confronts Chicken Fanci Proper Proceedure. CBy R . G. W E A T H E H S T O N E . ) One of the most difficult problems which the poultry keeper has to m e e t 1B that of keeping his poultry houses and stock reasonably free from lice, [ mites and other external parasites. In keeping a poultry plant free ' from lice there are two points of attack: One, the birds themselves; the other, the houses, nest boxes, \ roosting boards, etc. I In using any kind of lice powder on the birds themselves, it should always be remembered that a single application of powder i s not sufficient. ! When there are lice present on a bird J there are always unhatched eggs of lice ("nits") present, too. The proper procedure is to follow up a first appli- I cation of powder with a second at an ; interval of four days to a week. If _ i the birds are badly infested at t h e ; beginning it may be necessary to make Almost a Miracle \ still a third application.

Electricity was formerly the mystic rem«dy of the quack, but since electrical apparatus has become BO essential for X-ray work, more serious atiention has been given by regular physicians to the physiological eflectB of this powerful agent Among the notable results has been an electrical method of arresting the degeneration of the arteries so common in premature old age. A new announcement is , that of Dr. Labordie. a French medical man, who gives details of a method of treating sciatica by tonlzation with sodium hyposulphite, and shows what appears to be an effective cure for a painful disease. The effects are attributed In thiB treatment to sulphur oxide from electrolytic decomposition instead of the direct action of the electric current itself. A thick layer of absorbent tissue saturated with a 5 per cent solution of the sodium hyposulphite was covered over a piece of tin as t h e negative electrode, which was placed on the rear of the thigh over the sciatic nerve. The positive pole, wet with water, was put in con* tact with t h e calf of the leg. The patient had been unable to use his legs for ten months, but after ten sittings of forty minutes he could walk a mile and recovery seems to have been complete. LEVY N O T SELL He Declines to Let Uncle Sam Buy Monticello. IT WAS HOME OF JEFFERSON Preparations for Unveiling of Columbus Memorial on Union Station Plaza In Washington—Rubey's Good Roads Plan. Experiments at t h e Pasteur Institute In Paris have demonstrated that chickens can thrive without bacteria, though most vertebrates seem to require them. The experiments were made by Doctor Cohendy at the suggestion of Professor Metchnikoff. Doctor Cohendy uBed a sterilized incubator. Ho introduced three eggs which were about hatching. He sterilized them on the outside, the air apparatus was carefully filtered and all the food was perfectly sterilized. Several sets of chickens raised in this way were —found-after s i x weeks to—be—too—big for the Incubator-and were taken out and compared with chickens which had been raised / n the ordinary way. The tests showed that the incubator chickens were absolutely free of microbes, though after some t o u r s of unstorllized life their digestive tubes contained thousands of them. Physicians tell us that 65 per cent of the children in the public school* of Boston are physically defective, says the Boston Globe. The trained nurses who attend the pupils have performed good service in correcting tern- "poTary defects, NOW U IB proposed seriously to not only fed the hungry, but to furnish medicated baths for children suffering from skin troubles. It is also urged that more attention should be paid to school clinics by teachers and parents co-operating for that purpose. A wise medical suggestion is made that there should be less competitive work in the schools and that the pupils should be relieved of some studies, homo lessons abolished and children promoted or graduated with more regard to their actual menial capacity as Bhown by their daily efforts. As the output of real gold was $500,- 000,000 in 1911, it seems strange that some men should care to buy the imitation article in bricks, says the Chicago News. But the trouble is that if these men get $26,000 worth of real gold t b . y have to put up $25,000 for It; while the alleged $25,000 of gold bricks can be had for a beggarly $500.

Washington.—There is a bill in congress providing for the purchase of Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. The government lost the place many years ago, and the present owner declares he does not wish to sell the property to Uncle Sara or anyone else. The wife of Representative Martin W. Littleton of New York has written much about Monticello with a view to arousing enthusiasm for its purchase. She wrote a little book called "One Wish" not long ago, and to this she intends to add a chapter to increase the sentiment in favor of government ownership of the old Virginia residence of the third president. The new chapter ip Mrs. Littleton's book shows how the government once lost Monticello. It appears that Commodore Uriah p . LeVy, a descendant of Jefferson on the female side, purchased the estate at auction following the death of the great American, and later willed the property to the United States. Relatives Interposed, took the matter into court, and managed to br«ak the will, and in this way the famous property came into the possession of Jefferson M. Levy of New York; a nephew of Commodore Levy, and now a representative in congress from the Empire state. Will Honor Columbus' Memory. The Knights of Columbus have been holding a quarterly meeting in the city of Washington. They prepared to take part in the ceremonies of the unveiling of the statue of Christopher Columbus, which will stand on the plaza of the new Union station. There are to be elaborate ceremonies* in .Washington, jwhen.the Columbus memorial is unveiled in a few weeks' time. The Knights of Columbus will have 25,000 men In line in full regalia, with 3cores of fleets, elaborate and historical, depicting incidents in connection with the discovery of America by the ?reat Italian who sailed under Spanish colors. Other organizations, of course, will take part. The navy and the army will !ielp in the ceremonies, and there will be an address by the president of the United States. Rubey's Good Roads Bill. Representative Rubey of Missouri las introduced a bill into congress "to distribute the surplus in the treasury 3f the United States to the several states .territories and the District of Columbia for the sole purpose of improving the roads therein." The measure Introduced by Mr. Rubey makes it the duty of the secretary of the treasury at the end of each fiscal year to take an account of all the funds tinier his charge and after deducting !rom the sum the amount required *| Dy law to be kept in the treasury, to declare the remainder, if any, a surplus for which immediate provision shall be made to distribute in a sum aot exceeding $2^,000,000 annually on i per capita basis to th<? states and teritories and District of Columbia for the Improvement of the postal roads. There is not very much chance that the Rubey bill will become a law, even though it avoids constitutional dim- :ulties by making the money available Duly for roads which are used by the government for postal purposes. The nterest in good roads, however, has ieen spurred recently in congress. Uncle Sam's Relics. Uncle Sam is a hoarder of relics md a collector of curios. He has ane advantage over private colectors in that people know what sealous care he exercises to preserve things and how willing he Is to give credit where credit is due. So it is that many holders of things historic present them to Uncle Sam, certain that they will be spread before the gaze of the admiring thousands with the name of the donor attached in large letters set up and printed* after the best manner of the government composing room and printery. Sometimes, however, Uncle Sam has to buy something and preliminary to doing it he tries to find out how much It is to cost and if there Is any chance of getting it for nothing. Sometime ago, for Instance, he negotiated with a Portland, Ore., man for the purchase at the price of $500 of a manuscript order book, once the property of Gen. Arthur Saint Clair, who was governor' of the Western Territory and commander of its military forces during the administrations of Presidents Washington and Adams. Uncle Sam gets his money to buy manuscripts from the secretary of the treasury after congress by Joint resolution has given him permission to make the purchase. Had Grant's Field Orders. It is said in Washington that in the city of Utica, N. Y.. there la an historic treasure which surpasses in interest a mere order book of Arthur Saint Clair, sterling soldier though he was. There died recently in Utica a man who owned scores of General Grant's field orders, written entirely In the general's own hand, and every t>nci bearing the signature of the general of the United States army. Grant, it Is said, wrote these various orders and dispatches and gave them to his, telegraph operator to put in cipher | and transmit over the wires. The operator did the translating and transmitting and then naturally, knowing the probable future value of the material, did not destroy the originals, but put them in a safe place where no unauthorized person could see them, and kept pbssesslon of them until long alter the war. From time to time it is said that this operator disposed of some of the original Grant manuscripts to William Wakie, who was a well-known druggist of Utica and who is now dead, his heirs presumably having the Grunt papers. Among these documents it is said is Grant's despatch congratulating Sherman on the capture of Savannah and on the end of his march to the sea. Nearly all the despatches to Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley are there and also the despatch to Abraham Lincoln telling him that General Weitzel had entered Richmond, and that the army wt».s following. Congress is likely to pass a bill which will enable the government to send the National Guard regiments of the states out of the country If their services there should be necessary as an auxiliary to the army. The regular army officers want the law to read so that the* National Guard shall become a part of the regular force to be officered by regulars, but the National Guardsmen are opposed to this, and if the bill is passed it probably will provide that the state troops shall preserve their identity and go out with their own officers. The Mexican situation has been instrumental in securing immediate attention for several army measures, this militia bill being included. Seek to Save W i l d Fowl. Representative Anthony of Kansas, representing the west, and Representative Weeks of Massachusetts, representing the east, have introduced into congress two bills to save the wild fowl of the United States, which under the onslaught of the gunners are likely before long to be exterminated. Years ago it was thought that the wild ducks, the geese, the brant, the snipe, the quail and the other game birds were so plentiful in the United States that the supply never would be exhausted, but today it is a different tale and t h e fear of the sportsmen and bird lovers is that posterity will know of many of the game birds of America only by tradi- 'flon.~"~_ - - - It must be remembered that the United States has control in the individual states only in certain matters, largely matters which afftct interstate commerce. The Weeks and Anthony bills both are based on the right of Uncle Sam to regulate the commerce of the United States. Migratory birds fly from one state to another. Hence by what Is perhaps a seeming stretch of the constitution some of the legislators think that they have the right to bring the birds under federal control, Need of Protection Not Denied. No Democrat or Republican has Been round in congress to deny—that the migratory birds need protection. They start on their northward journey in the spring just prior to the mating season, many of them in fact mating on the way, and all along the line of flight in, on and over upland, marsh and forest, they are made targets of double-barrel and repeating shotguns. For years sportsmen of the proper spirit and the bird protective organizations have tried to induce the legislatures of the different states to pass laws prohibiting spring shooting, If a law of this kind had been passed by every state ten years ago and enforced. Uncle Sam would not feel today the necessity of becoming a £ame warden for tl»e country, Spring shooting is recognized by everybody who knows anything about bird life as an evil. Several states have forbidden the killing of migratory birds during the time of the northern flight, but other states have refused to stop the spring slaughter, the refusal being due in most cases to the pressure brought to bear on the legislators by the appeals of hunters. Some real sportsmen have held that with the spring shooting cut out there would be no shooting at all in their sections of the country. W h y the Bills Are Opposed. There is considerable opposition in congress to the passage of either bill to give the federal authorities power to protect the game. The opposition springs from the belief of some of the members that either law proposed would constitute an "invasion of state rights." The necessity 6T the law is admitted, but its constitutionality is doubted. It is held generally, however, that unless Uncle Sam does act and the states rights quibble is dropped, there will in a decade be few birds to protect. Representative Anthony has said that if congress thinks that the bill of Mr. Weeks is better than his bill, he hopes that it will be accepted and passed. The Kansas man's bill fixes a closed season for game in all parts of the United States from January 10 to August 15 of each year and provides a penalty of not less than $100 or more than $1,000 for a violation of the act. Seemingly the Weeks measure, from the sportsman's and the bird protector's point of view, is preferable. It permits members of the biological survey of the department of agriculture to fix various periods of non-shooting in different parts of the country in accordance with the known flight habits of the birds. STRONG REPRESENTATIONS TO MADERO GOVERNMENT MADE BY STATE DEPARTMENT. JNITED STATES WON'T TOLERATE MORE BRUTALITY. W i l l Not Under Any Circumstances Recognize Belligerency of Insurgents or Permit Escape cf Leaders. The state department has made strong representations to the Madero government against Orozco, the Mexican rebel leader. President Madero has been given to understand that this government may not longer tolerate the brutal treatment of innocent Americans, the killing of American citizens, the rifling of American m:<IlH and other insults to this government on the part of Orozco and his followers. Fountain Killing a Murder. In presenting to Madero the case of Albert Fountain, an enlisted soldier who was captured and assassinated, Mr. Heberlin, an American mining en. 2;ineer, who was taken prisoner, and a number of other cases, the state department declared that the recognized government must be held responsible for these outrages. Madero has been informed that the killing of Fountain was nothing less, than a cold-blooded, nremediated murder. The Mexican government has been asked to try Orozco on the charge of raurdcr in the Fountain case and if Orozco is ever found in the United States he will be arrested on that charge and returned to Mexico under i demand for trial.

C O F F E E H U R T S One in Three. It is difficult to make people believethat coffee is a poison to a t least one person out of every three, but people are slowly finding It out, although thousands of .them suffer terribly be* fore they discover t h e fact. A New York hotel man says: "Each time after drinking; coffee I becamerestless, nervous and excited, so that I was unable to sit five minutes in one place, was also inclined to vomit and suffer from loss of sleep, which got worse and worse. "A lady said that perhaps coftoe was the cause of my trouble, and suggested that I try Postum. I laughed a t thethought that coffee hurt me, but she insisted so hard that I finally badsome Postum made. I have been using it in place of coffee ever since, for I noticed that all my former nervousness and irritation disappeared. I began to sleep perfectly, and the Postum tasted as good or better than the old coffee, so what waa t h e use of sticking to a beverage that was injuring me? "One day on an excursion up ' t h e country I remarked to a young lady friend'bn her greatly improved appearance. She explained that some time before she had quit using coffee and taken to Postum. She had gained a number of pounds and her former palpitation of the,heart, humming in the ears, trembling of the hands and legs and other disagreeable feelingB had disappeared. She recommended m e t o quit coffee and take Postum and wasvery much surprised to find that I hod already made the change.

And yet no, it couldn't be h e r hand, either; it felt like the crash cover of the cushion— rough and fibrous. And yet, by Jove, it was a hand, for It gave mine a grip that almost broke my fingers and 1hen dropped them. By the time 1 looked up, I saw only her little palm resting upward on her knee. It was funny; but I had other things to think about than puzzles. She sighed. "Well, I'm the one that can feel for you, Dicky." Here the sigh lifted and her laugh pealed like a chime of silver bells. "I guess Brother Jack doesn't know as much about your affairs as he thinks, does he— eh? Why, he told me you were more afraid of a girl than of a mad dog." ~ Antf""a siapptng grip—fell—on my shoulder that made me tingle from head to foot. And yet I wished she wouldn't do that; if she did it -again, I should just lose my head—I knew 1 should. But here she rose, stretched her arms, and dropped into the wicker arm-chair. She hitched it nearer to ine. "You see, it's like this," she began, assuming a confidential air. "You know my bister's up at school at Cambridge, too." "At Radcliffe college—-yes." I nodded. "Why, yes. Well, it's her roommate!" Her tone was almost savage. I strained incredulously after her meaning. ' ' "Did I understand you to say you were brought up before the president there at Radcliffe?" "Radcliffe?" Her head shook. "No —Harvard." And I nodded, recalling the affiliation between the two institutions at Cambridge. * She sighed and her beautiful lashes drooped sadly. By Jove, I was so joiiy floored I couldn't manage a word. I knew, of course, that my heart was broken, but it didn't matter. I loved her just the same; I should always love her; and she had tried to let me know she loved me better than any man she had ever met. What the deuce did anything else matter, anyhow? We would marry and go out on a ranch or something of that sort, where the false, polished what-youcall- it of civilization didn't count, and no rude rebuff or sneer of society would ever chill her warm impulsiveness. She smiled archly, "See here, Dicky, I thought we were going to tell each other the story of our lives. Your turn now; tell me how she L$oks to you, > this girl that came at last— there's always the one girl comes at last, they say, if you wait long enough. Go on—tell me—what's she like?" "Of course, you don't know!" I said significantly. "Me? Of course I wouldn't know— I want you to tell me. Say, is she really so pretty?" "Pretty," indeed! It was like this adorable child of nature? not to understand that she was the most perfect and faultless creation on earth! I leaned toward her. "Is she pretty?" I repeated reproachfully. She-eyed me slyly. "Eh? I don't believe I—" I paused 1 perplexedly. • 'That's right—her room-mate, I tell you! And in a day or two she's coming home with Sis for a visit. I want you to come up for a week end— won't you—and look her over—1 mean, see her and tell me what you think of her. You'll go crazy about her—oh, I know you will!" I entered a protest. "Oh, I say now, you know, there's only one girl I ever saw I would care to look at twice." She smiled adorably. "Oh, don't 1 know all about how you feel? But 1 just want you to see this girl—she's the prettiest and swellest that's been around Boston for many a day; and on Sunday morning she could give the flag to all the avenue. Why, Dicky, she's from China!" "China!" I must have looked the scorn I felt. "Oh, come now, you don't think a Chinese girl is—" "Not Chinese, Dicky." In her eagerness, she moved so near, the silk of her pajamas brushed my hand. "She's English. Her dad's the British Governor General of Hong Kong—Colonel Francis Kirkland, you know—beefylooking old chap with white mutton ^hops—I saw his picture." Hong Kong! I wondered if she knew Mastermann, the chap Who had / sent me the red pajamas. Why, dash r- it, of course she would; for this fellow Mastermann was out there on government business, and he and the governor must be thrown together a good deal. Her musical laugh broke in on my 1 speculations. "But the funniest thing is, Dicky, her name's the same as mine." Her name! By Jove, and until this ^ moment* I had not thought— "Oh, I say," I 'exclaimed eagerly, " w h a t is your name, anyway?" The lustrous eyes opened wide. "Why, you mean to say you don't know? Thought you knew I was named after the governor. And she's named after hers—Prances, from , Francis, you know—just the differ- *"' ence In a letter. See?" "France*P I murmured llngerlngly. "80 your name's Frances?" "Yes, and hers is Frances—odd, i a n t i t r . '1 I assented, but I wlBhed she would 1 drop the other girl—I wasn't interim ested there, except just because she * was. Her boaom lifted with a sigh. "Don't you think Frances is a peach of a name?" "It's heavenly!" I whispered. "And I'm glad to hear about your friend, -too." > Her sweet face clouded. "Not much of a friend; she don't lost airy sleep o»er me,"- she commented gloomily. "T^en there's 81» double-crossing me wlta her influence ever since I got -hauled $p be*ore Prtry at Eaater. Bis "Oh, of course I know how you feel," she said, "but draw me a picture of her." "A picture!" I laughed. "All right, here goes: Eighteen, 'a daughter of the gods, divinely tall and most divinely fair'—that sort of. thing. Features classic—perfect 6val, you know, and profile to set an artist mad with joy. Eyes? Blue as Hebe's, but big and true and tender; hair, a great, Shirting nugget of virgin gold. Form divine—the ideal of a poet's dream— the alluring, the elusive, the unattainable, the despair of the sculptor's chisel." "My!" said Miss Billings, staring. you've got Eleanor Glyn backed oil the boards." She went on eagerly: "I don't care, though; slushy or no , your picture's just perfect for her. Why, your girl must be a ringer lor the girl at Kadcliffe. Only thing you left out was the freckle on the chin." Freckle on the chin! By Jove, I left It out on purpose, for I thought she might not like it. I wondered if all girls at Radcliffe had freckles on the chin. She lay back, regarding me lnsfrutably. "If she looks like that," she sighed, "you ought to love her very much, Dicky." I couldn't say anything, for words are so deuced inadequate, you know. But I just made an effort to look it all. "Of course," sighing, "you ought to feel t h a t way; and, another thing, Dicky: you'll never forget where you first saw her, will you? One of the things one never forgets." "Right in this room," I murmured; "and In that wicker chair." "Really?" Her surprised ejaculation was delicious. By Jove, how entrancingly coquettish of her! How jolly clever! "Go on; tell me how she was dressed—never mind any more picture business; just tell me in four or five words. Bet you can't do it!" She slipped over again to the arm of my chair. In her eyes was a challenge and I took it up. "In black silk pajamas," I said daringly. Her blue eyes opened wide. For a moment I feared shis would be offended at my audacity, but her birdlike carol of laughter reassured me. "Say, you're not so slow, are --you?" And her hand came down on my or questionable taste to pie&etit them to her attention. "Great idea, this, having pajamaa in your college colors," she naid. I thought .so, too, as I noted admiringly the rich effect of her golden head above the black silk. Hut 1 thought the color a devilish odd one—somber, you know—lor colors of a young girl's school. "My! my!" she murmured, "wouldn't I just love to live in pajamas—just go about in 'em all the time, you know! Why can't we, I wonder?" Her face flashed me a ravishing smile; and while I was blinking over her question, she went on: "Funny how the girls even are taking to 'em—even Sis wears 'em!" She chuckled: "Hera are gray fiannellette. But the girl I'm telling you about—she don't; Sis told the mater about it. It seems that before she left China, some high mucka- muck gave her governor a swell pair of silk ones—something like these, 1 guess, but I don't know of what color. But, anyhow, they were too delicate and fine to be wasted on an old stiff like that^and he had sense enough to know it. So he passed 'em down the line to her—Frances, you know. Well, sir--" Here she sidled to the table and half leaned, half perched, upon its edge; and I was so distracted watching her graceful poise and gestures, that 1 lost what she was saying, by Jove. It was her trill of laughter at something she had said, and the question: But I was not through. "Complexlon? Her skin as smooth as the heart of a seashell and as delicately warm as its rosy blush when kissed by the amorous tide." "Gee!" ejaculated my darling. I looked at her closely. "And in one matchless cheek a dimple divine such as might have been left by the barbed arrow of Cupid when it awoke Psyche from her swoon of death. In short, she might be the dainty fairy princess of our childhood fantasies, were she less superb in figure. On the other hand, she might be the sunny-haired daughter of a Viking back with a force that made me "junrpT "Only shows,-' she gurgled merrily, "how little" Jack knows about you. Say, you'd better never tell him about those black pajamas!" She spake chokingly through a storm of laughter as she rocked there against my shoulder. "And say—the joke of it!" She banged me on the back with a clublike blow, incredible from that little hand. "The joke of it is, he thought I'd be so safe with you! Oh, mamma!" And off she went again. "But I'll—I'll never say a word, Dicky," she said, coming out of her laughter and panting breathlessly. "Never! Ahd don't yuu, Dicky-—don't you ever! Understand? Mum's the word!" "But—" "Oh, but me no 'huts'—promise!" "Why, then—er—of course, if you wish it." "That's right, because I want to come again—that is, if you want me. But if Brother Jack was on to you, Dicky, as I am, he would sooner have me at a hotel, that's all." "But my dear Frances—" "I tell you I know, Dicky; he doesn't approve of young ladles in pajamas." She chuckled. "Not even black ones." -_._ _=^K«ep U DarJc'J "Wasn't that funjiy?" that brought me back to what she was telling me. "Yes, sir—said she just Beared her maid—oh, batty! Because she looked so ugly in 'em—that's what she thinks, but of course—shucks! Anyhow, she never wore 'em any more, and a day or two later some coolie stole them—sold 'em probably." Suddenly she yawned, stretched her arms above her head, and flashed me a dazzling smile, By Jove, in the loose-fitting garments she looked for all the world like an Oriental hourl, or some Jolly lovely thing like that. "Gee, but I'm sleepy!* she said be- •&*Smrm** "Don't You Think Frances Is a Peach of a Name?" king, were she not too delicately featured and molded." That waa all I could remember from the description as I had read it in a novel, but 1 was glad I had stored It up, by Jove, for it suited her to a dot. She didn't say a word for a moment, but just sat there eying me kind of sldewlae, her little upper lip lifted In an odd way.- Then of a sudden she shook her head and swung her knee* up orer the arm of her chair. "Wall, Dicky, aa a descrlber you •ore are the ahahy spreader, Bar, She stood up, looking at herself and performing a graceful pirouette before the long pier glass. "Now, If they had been crimson," she proceeded, "he might have felt i different. Old Jack's great on Waryard, and so am I." Of course. All Radcliffe girls were, I knew. By Jove, how I wished I could show her the lovely crimson pajamaa Mastermann had sent me from China! But I would have* to summon Jenkins to find them, and besides, it would be hind her little hand.—"If you'll excuse me, Dicky, I believe it will be off to the springs—the bed springs, for little Frankle. Good night, then. See you In the morning." And with another radiant smile, she moved toward her room. "Good night," I said wistfully. By Jove, somehow I had hoped she would offer to kiss me, now that we were engaged in a way. But then, of course, It wouldn't do—she knew that, So ought I. Perhaps in the morning at the boat! But all in vain my early rise the next morning, my careful toilet and my dash In a taxi to a florist and then to Tiffany's for a ring. At the pier I dodged about In the crowd, the boy trailing behind me with the big purple box, but not a devilish thing could I see of Frances. By Jove, I almost broke my monocle straining! At last I was sure she must be left, for the last passengers were passing over the gang-plank. "Hello, Dicky!" The voice, coarse and hearty, came from an athletic young man in a hurrah suit. On his head, perched Jauntily above a mass of yellow hair, was a straw hat with a crimson band. I stared at him through my glass, but it was any one I knew at all. I looked at him coldly, for there's nothing so devilish annoying as familiarities from strangers. I thought I could freeze him off. But he only grinned. "Looking for Miss Billings?" "I—I haven't seen her," I answered stiffly. But his question alarmed me. He chuckled in my face. "Guess you don't know her in her clothes, eh, Dicky?" And I did not need the punch he gave me in the side to make me stagger backward. "A thousand thanks, and good-by, old chap. I see they're hauling in the plank." He lingered for one bearlike grab at my hand. "And say, don't forget—for I know Jack Billings better than you do— don't ever let him know about all that Scotch last night." He called over his shoulder with a grin: "Keep it dark—as dark as those black pajamas, Dicky!" And aa long as I could see, he stood on the deck, waving his hat at me, as I stood here with my mouth open, my eyes following him with horror. By Jove, who waa he, an<J what did he know? ^ (TO ftE CONTINUED.) Busy All the Time.

Pinkham's Vegetable CompoundT The " change of life " is a most critical period in a woman's existence, and the anxiety felt bywomen as it draws near is not without reason.

Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected. These symptoms are calls from nature for helpt The nerves aw crying out for assistance and the cry should be heeded in time. Lydia £. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is prepared to meet the needs of women's system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system.

We seem to have a pretty good illustration of the delay of getting a case to trial right here in Livingston county. The very first of the year a whiskey club was raided at Howell and the parties were found red handed with the goods. Edward Scully and Louis Brayton were arrested for running an illegal joint The examination of these parties before the local justice went through the usual adjournments, but after the lapse of time they were bound over to the circuit court for trial. It now transpires that the case was called in this term of court and was adjourned to the next session of court which convenes in June, but as io jury is drawn for that term, the case can not be tried until the October term of court. We do not know who is responsible for thislietay of nlne^mbntBs befox*4hia simple little case can ^ Jae/'orougHt to trial in the circuit, but to the\ mind of the layman there can be\ no reasonable reason for such demy. It is absolutely unjust to both sides in the suit. If they are innocent they should not be held in jeopardy and under • cloud of suspicion during the length of time and if they are guilty they should have been punished and brought to trial for their offence of breaking the law. This kind of thing is what disgusts many people and brings a general disrespect and contempt for all law and discontents the public with courts in general and which leads so many people to to voice their discontent in words that are neither respectful or complimentary.—Fowlerville Review, Motion Pictnre Show At the Pinckney opera house Friday, April 26 at 8 o\jlock the Princess Amusement Go. of Chelsea will present "Before Yorktown," a two reel two thousand foot thrilling story of the Revolutionary War, four other pictures and three high class illustrated songs.

Gather eggs once daily during ordinary times and twice daily during hot or rainy weather. In summer place eggs as soon as gathered in a cool dry room which is free from odors. Don't sell eggs which were found in a stolen nest Market eggs frequently; twice each week at least and daily if possible. Don't sell eggs which have been in an incubator.

Klriiaril Llghtnut, an American with an affected Kngllsh accent, receives a present from a friend in Chirm. The present proves to be a pair of pajamas. A letter Hints of bur-prise to the wearer. I.lghtnut "•ions the pajamas and late at night gets "P for a smoke. His servant, Jenkins, I'ontes in and, failing to rerognlze U g h t - jy-it, attempts to put lilm out. Thinking the .servant crazy, Lightnut changes his clothes intending to summon help. When he reappears Jenkins falls on his neck with joy, confirming IJghtnut's belief that lie is crazy. Jenkins tells Lightnut of the encounter he had with a hideous <-•runaman dressed in pajamas. In a message from his friend, Jack Billings. Mghtnut Is asked to put up "the kid" for tin- night on his way hume from college. Later Liglitnut ttnds a beautiful girl in black pajamas In his room. Lightnut is shocked by thn girl's drinking, smoking and slangy talk. She tells him her name is Francis and puzzles hint with a story of her love for tier sister's room-mate, named Frances. Next morning the girl is missing and Ltghtnut hurries to the boat to see her off. He Is accosted by a husky college boy, who calls him "Dicky," but he does not seo the girl. CHAPTER V I I I . Her Brother Jack. "Good night, Dicky!" came up the elevator shaft. And then more "good nights," growing fainter with their laughter as the car shot down. "Good night." I called after them. "Devilish sorry you fellows won't stay longer!" "Jolly good lie, Jenkins," 1 said, yawning sleepily, aB I dropped back into my own apartment. "Yes, sir," assented Jenkins demurely. "It's sleeping on the divan the othor night, sir. Eight hours there ain't nothing like eight hours in bed and in your pajamas." --"P-ajamaBl-'-JLeia^ulajtejdxjLtarti£CL For all day I had been thinking of her. I wondered if Billings would hap. pen to invite me up tor the week end. Jiut he had so many times, and I had never gone. "By Jove, that reminds me," I said. "Those red silk pajamas!" "Yes, sir." Jenkins' lace hardened in an odd, wooden way, "I was wondering, Jenkins, if those pajamas were torn any in our little row the other night." Poor Jenkins winced a little. "I think not, pir," he muttered humbly— "leastwise, they were all right last night when Mr.—" lie seemed to catch himself abruptly. "I mean when 1 found them this morning, sir.'' He returned with the garments I had received from Mastermann, and again we spread them under the lamp on the table. They looked singularly smooth and unwrinkled. There was not a single tear or break, not even with the delicate cords that twisted to form the frogs of the seat. "My, sir! But ain't they redr' breathed Jenkins. "Them cords look like little red snakes." I cut an anxious glance at Jenkins, for I did not like his reference to snakes. Seemed ominous, somehow, But his appearance was composed and reassuring. And, by Jove, come to look, the cords did look just like tiny, colled serpents of glowing tire. Why, they were so jolly red they hurt your eyes. Pact! And thin as the beautiful stuff was, tbjs brighter red ran aTl over the other, covering every inch of 1t and forming the closest, finest what-you-call-lt embroidery. It was as faint and dainty a pattern as that on a soap bubble! Fact is, I could not trace it, even, with my glass. The only part that wasn't covered with this embroidery business was the stuff used to cover the knots, or little balls, over which the cords were meant to hook. In working with some of these cords, idly fastening and unfastening them, I got a little impatient with one that seemed Vght, you know, and I used my manicure knife to pull the knot through. "Careful, air," warned Jenkins. "Likely to ait something." By- Jove? No sooner said, than 1 did it! The dashed blade slipped somehow and cut into the threads that tied the covers or caps or Whatever-you-call- 'ems, over the .knots. And when 1 pulled, the beastly piece of silk came off in my lingers. And then—oh, but I say! I Just gave a sort of yell and dropped the whole thing! Ever have some silly ass try to scare yotf by poking a red hot cigar at you 1ft the dark? Know how you jerk back? Well, there you arc! For, give you my word, when I peeled off the little cloth cap, regular blazes of crimson fire seemed to shoot from the end of the knot. Fact is, it wasn't a knot at all, but a button—a devilish glassy button, something bigger than a dime, perhaps, and tblck;aa the end of your little finger. And there it lay against the silk, burning its way through It. like a red coal ot hie. And it waa jutt then tht-t Billings rolled i n / " 1 say "rolfed, in," became it always looks thit way! that's the way Billings is built, you know. "I a*3k;.Di<*y" be panted, "just missed'k another infernal express! Plenty more traloe,<b*tI had a great Aspiration ettfk* W that I'd let you put me op for the night.

Great pleasure, assure you—won't inconvenience at all. Gloves, Jenkins! Just give me something to sleep in, and I'll be aB Comfortable here as I would be at the club—so don't worry any about » e , old chap. By the way, want to thank you for taking care of the kid. Got home all right, I understand." He plunked like a jolly elephant into the largest and most comfortable chair in the room and wheezed for breath. "And, Jenkins!" l i e raised one fat finger while he took a gasp. "Don't mind if I do have a package or Dicky's Koroskos and a sloe fizz—not too sweet, you know; and you may—" Billings broke off suddenly. Then he climbed heavily to his feet, and without warning, heaved himself across the room and seized the button I had just uncovered. Dashed if he didn't almost upset me. "Here, I say!" I protested. "Don't lose that cap." I picked it up from where ho had jerked it to the floor. "It's the cover to hide that glass, you know." "Wh-a-a-t!" Billings swung round, staring at me ( with the most curious expression. "See here, Dicky," he exclaimed rather excitedly, but in a low tone, as he cut a side glance at Jenkins siphoning the fizz over at the cellarette. "What in thunder have you been doing now?" By Jove, I turned cold for a minute, I was that startled. I thought he was going to use the -pajamas as an introduction for reference to last night. But in a minute I saw that he did not mean that. "Where on earth did you get anything like this?" ."Oh, I say now!'' I_.remonstr;aled, alarm changing to a mild dudgeon, Billings' devilish rude manners are so offensive at times. "What do you mean? It's a present from a friend in China." "Present!" Bllllng6' eyes bulged queorly. He stooped toward me, whispering: "Did he know what this button was?" "Why, of course he didn't," I answered indignantly. "Never dreamed of It, of course. I tell you, it was all nicely covered, was what-you-call-lt— upholstered, you know—with devilish nice silk. I cut. it off accidentally, trying to force the thing through that loop. That left the marble exposed" —Bllllngij tuok ihu glass mechanically from the tray tendered by Jenkins and sipped it slowly, eying me curiously over the top. Then he set it back, very deliberately, wiped his mouth with the bit of napery, and without taking his glance from me, waited until Jenkins had left the room. Whereupon, after another searching look at the button, he dropped it with the garment upon the table, and with hands jammed deep in his pockets, faced me with a long-drawn whistle. "Well. I'll be hanged!" he exclaimed. Just a coarse, vulgar outburst, you know—no sense to it; no point at all, you know—that's Billings. He caught upjthe coat again. "And these others—four of them—are they just the same?" he demanded sharply. "Dash it, how Bhould I know? I suppose so," I answered indifferently. And l closed my eyes and leaned back, feeling a bit—Just a bit—weary. Some. how« Billings is always so exhausting when he gets started on something. "Oh, cut it out, old chap," I protested, drowsy-like. "I will," I heard him say. Then 1 guess I must have dropped off a bit, for the next thing I knew he was shaking me. "Dicky! Dicky! Say, look here! Look, I tell you!" I did look, and—well, I was Jolly vexed, that's all. "Oh, I say now!" I spoke severely— Just that way, you know. I went on, remonstrating: "Devilish silly joke, it you ask me. You've gone and ruined the thing, Billings! Flashy buttons like that, you know—too tawdry, too cheap." "Cheap!" Ho almost shouted It. Then he leaned over the back of the leather chair and pounded his fat hea4, against the cushions, writhing his big bulk from side to side. "Quite impossible," I said firmly. "Not en regie at all, you know!" And I fixed my glass and stared gloomily at the things. The five shiny buttons just lay there against the delicate silk like BO many fiery crimson cher-' rles. He leered at me, chuckling. "Look cheap to you, eh? What you might call outre, so to speak?" "By Jove, of course," I answered ruefully. "I can't sleep in the things now, you know. What would people* say?" Billings stared at me disagreeably a moment and said something under his breath. Then he caught up the buttons and the silk, and crushing them in his h&ids, burled his face in the mass. "Oh you beauties, you darlings!" 1 heard him murmur. Then he looked at the buttons again, and dash It. he kissed me. Maudlin—Jolly maudlin, I aay, if you ask me1! "I say, Dicky," he said carelessly. "You may not care for them, but I've taken rather a shine to thejse buttons. Mind letting me have one, eh?" He flashed, a Quick glance at me and then away. "Mind? Why, certainly not; take 'em all, old chap, and welcome." Yet I responded gloomily enough, scarcely polite, you know. And I felt too Jolly prostrated to be curious as to what he could possibly want with the things. Waistcoat buttons, likely— Billings was given to loud dress and other bounder stunts. But he just sat there looking down after I spoke, and presently stole a queer glance at me. He suddenly held up the row of red buttons again. "Look here, you blessed dodo," he exclaimed brusquely. "Have you really no idea w*hat these are, these glass buttons you are yapping about? Of course you haven't, you jolly chowder head, but I'm going to tell you." Ho threw the coat Into my lap. "They are rubies, old man, that's ail," he said quietly. "Oriental rubies, at that—flawless and perfect—the rarest and most precious things in the world." CHAPTER IX. An Amazing Revelation, I stared blankly at Billings. "Rubies!" I gasped. He nodded. "Genuine pigeon bloods, my son, no less." "Oh, come now, Billings," I protested. I felt a little miffed, just a little you know. So jolly raw to try it on that way. I "By Jove, old chap, you must think me a common ass," I suggested disgustedly. Billings grinned at the very idea, "You a common ass, Dicky?" he ejaculated ''Xobody who—knows-you would ever think that, old man." "But, I say—" "See here, Dicky boy, I'm in dead earnest," he interrupted eagerly. "Don't you/ remember my one fad— gems? Got enough tied up in them to build two apartment houses as big as this, Best amateur collection in New York, if I do say it. But I haven't anything like one of these rubies, and neither has anyone else—-:iio one else in this country, anyhow. There's nothing like them in all New York, from Tiffany's down to Maiden Lane, and never has been.

"By Jove!" I remarked, just to stir him up a bit. And he unloaded a great funnel of smoke and continued: "My theory is that during some danger, some mandarins' war, likely, somebody got cold feet about these jewels and roped them in with these bits of silk—see how different they are from the rest of the stuff! Then, when the roughhouse came, these pajamas were swept along in the sacking— sort of spoils of pillage, you know. It was a clever method of concealment— clever because simpler—a hiding place unlikely to be thought of because right under the eye. You recall Poe's story of 'The Purloined Letter?'" I asked Billings how much he thought one of the rubles was worth. I had in mind how devilish hungrily he had looked at them. But he sighed, then' frowned and answ-erecLimpatient. ly: "That's it!

"Well, they're over twenty carats each, and therefore, of course, many times the value of first water diamonds. After you get above five carats with real Oriental rubies, diamonds are not in it." With an abrupt gesture he pushed the things away and rose. His pipe had gone out, but I noticed that he did not relight it. I held the gems full in the rays of the lamp, and Billings paused, holding a hungry gaze over his shoulder. "I say, Killings, how mucn did you Bay one was worth?" I asked care- 'Have You Really No Idea What Theee Are?" I just laughed at him. "Why, Billings, these pajamas were sent me by a friend in China, and I assure you—" "Assure? What can you assure— what do you knovP abont It?" said Billings rudely. "What did your friend know, or the one he had these things from—or the one before him—or the one still before that? Pshaw!" And he snapped his fingers. With his hand he swept up the little caps and the long, wirelike threads that held them and sniffed the handful curiously. "H'm!

Washington.—When a large reception 1B given at the White House the glieat sees occasionally some other f»e8t in civil life wearing over the • m o m of MB dress shirt eome medallion or crosB or bauble of some kind *UBpended from his aeck by a bright ribbon. There are a good many men in. the Vsifeed States who have been "decorated" by foreign monarchs. If the person chosen for the honor is not working in any capacity for the United StateB government he can take the decorative pr«Bent if he chooses to, but If he is one of Uncle Sam's servant3 he must get peraiBsiop. of congress before he can accept fr*in the hands of any foreign king or government a present of any kind. There is in the state department a case full of presents of various kinds intended for American citizens in the government employ. They are waiting there until their hopeful recipients get permission from congress to wear them or carry them, whichever it may be, for sometimes the present is a medal which must be worn, or a pocket knife or something else which must be carried. Recently congress allowed several army and navy officers and a few civilian employes of the government to accept gifts from foreign potentates. Jt will be some time before congress will act again in this matter and meantime the presents will pile up, for sometimes they are sent direct to the state department and if not, they are turned over to the department by the men who hope Borne day to get permission to claim possession. Many Gifts Are Offered. Since the United States became a world power every nation on the face j.cf_the globe has sought to give its officials presents of one kind or another. The emperor of Ethiopia was one of the monarchs to come bearing gifts. It was his desire once on a time to present a ribbon, a pin and a star, the symbol of an order which has existed since the day of Solomon and Sheba, to R. P. Skinner, an American citizen, one time consul at Marseilles. King Edward VII. of England tried successively to get permission from congress to give a silver ink stand to George H. Bridgeman, American consul at Kingston, Jamaica, and a silver writing set to Arthur M. Beaupre, o- wws tfceir oot minister t o the* Artine -ftepublio. Edward also at one e had in stock a good many BOUVCcoronation medals, a sword-i*. two d several silver watches whicfT"he nted to hand over with an expresn of his kingly regard to army and favy officers and to lighthouse keepers who owed allegiance to the republic. Edward finally had his way. 'It took the shah of Persia two years to get permission to give a diamond snuff box to Richmond Pearson, who W^B our minister at one time to Teheran. It took the khedive of Egypt two years also to secure permission to bestow on BJthelbert Watts the decoration of the Order of the Osmaniek .The government of France, although that country is a republic, was obliged to get the permission of the American congress before it could give decorations of the Legion of Honor to Lieat.

The Louise Home for Aged Wome*. a noted Washington institution, is now Just a half century old. The building is one of the landmarks of the capital, standing at the intersection of Massachusetts avenue and Fifteenth street, with Thomas circle one block aw«7 to the east and Seott circle one block away to the west, Massachusetts avenue is perhapB the finest residence thorougfare in the city o|_ Washington. The aged women wh'o occupy the Louise Home are treated as guests and not as "inmates." They have their calling days, Just as do other Massachusetts avenue residents, and In every way are made to feel that each individual is "the mistress of the manse." The Louise home was founded by William W. Corcoran fifty years ago. The primary object of the home was to provide for aged gentlewomen who had lost their means of support by reason of the war between the states. The south suffered particularly in this way, and virtually every inmate of the Louise home is a southern woman. Not long ago a daughter of a president of the United States died at the home. Her father was John Tyler. She had been a guest at the home for many years. Occasionally she would leave it to attend some social affair at the White House, in which she once lived. May Be Enlarged Soon. TJhere is now room in the Louise home for forty women, but it is possible that in a short time tho building will be enlarged, although it has beea proposed that another structure be erected in another part of the city. It is infrequently that a vacancy occurs at the home, except, of course, through the coming of death. No woman under fifty years of age is admitted and none who has advanced beyond the age of seventy years. There is a long list of applications for entrance to the home. In fact the list is longer now than it has been at any time since the home was founded. Mr. Corcoran endowed it adequately. It 1B considered an ideal form of social service and the lines of management laid dowrFby~Mr7 Corcoran have~been carried out faithfully. General Greedy 4* Popular. Maj. Gen. Adolphus W. Greely, who for some years was the chief of the signal corps of the United States army, lives in the city of Washington with his family. When General Greely waB made a major general he relieved a Kansas soldier, Frederick Funston, as commanding general of tho Pacific division of the United States army. It was then that General Greely entered upon the active command of-troops of the line for the first time in twenty years, for the highest rank of line command which he ever before held wna t h a t nt a raptt><n nf n a v n l r y Found Imitation Difficult.

Tfct At the West Point dinner the other night General Greely, who was a graduate, was one of* tbev-^tfests of honor. There was a little feeling existing in the army when Greely was given a high rank, which some of the officers felt ought to have been given to another who had been with troops actively in the field for the major part ,of his service, but this feeling long ago subsided and the general is an exceedingly popular officer with all branches of the service. It is known that General Greely's transfer and promotion were given hira as a reward for the hardships which he underwent in the early '80s while conducting a polar expedition. General Greely was in Washington daring most of his service as a signal officer, and for much of the time his near neighbor was Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, who went north and rescued Greely and his party when they were on the point of perishing. Trying Position for a Soldier. General Greely was one* placed in one of the most trying positions which ever fell to the lot of a soldier, and there are few men who would have cared to undertake the responsibility, which at that time Greely, as a captain, shouldered. With his men he was at the point of dying from starvation in the arctic regions. There was left barely enough food to stave off death for a week. The rations per man were cut down to little more than a mouthful given out once every twenty- four hours. A soldier of the command was caught stealing food. I s the hope of saving his own life, he was willing that his comrades should perish. The situation was one requiring the sternest measures. Greely knew from his own experience the awful temptation under which the starving soldiers had fallen, for the meager ration of the men was the meager ration of the -commanding officer. Greely walked apart from his men into the solitudes. He came back and Rock Creek park. SaUora are not tho* ordered a court-martial, In which the enlisted men participated with the verdict of death was voted for the man who was willing to save himself at the cost of the sacrifice of others. Four men were detailed for the execution of the culprit. Four guns were loaded, two with blank cartridges and two with ball cartridges. The convicted one was trilled, but unless the heavier recoil of the two rifles told the story, the executioners do not know to this day which of them It was who biarins u> aaanfully ander5[ ta% a e * fired ^ 6 s h o U t h a t bought d e a t h t 0 telti) of too surgeons.

"I, the undersigned, cannot give enough praise to the Cuticura Remedies. I had been doctoring for at letiat a year for eczema on my foot. I had tried doctor after doctor all to no avail. When a young girl I sprained my ankle three different times, paying little or no attention to it, when flvo years ago a small spot showed upon my left ankle. I was worried and Bent for a doctor. He said it was eczema. Ho drew a small bone from the ankle about the size of a match and about fli, inch long. The small hole grew to about the size of an apple, and tho eczema spread to the knee. The doctors never could heal the hole in the ankle. The whole foot ran water all the time. "My husband and my sons were up night and day wheeling me from one room to another in the hope of giving me some relief. I would sit for hours at a time in front of the fireplace hoping for daybreak. The pain was so intense I was almost crazy, in fact, I would lose my reason for hours at a time. One tiay a friend of mine dropped in to see me. No more had she glanced at my foot than she exclaimed: 'Mrs. Finnegan, why in the world don't you try the Cuticura Remedies!' Being disgusted with the doctors and their medicines, and not being able to sleep at all, I decided to give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment a trial. After using them three days that night I slept as sound as a silver dollar for eight long hours. I awoke in the morning with but. very little pain, in fact, I thought I was in heaven. After using the Cuticura Remedies for three months I was perfectly restored to health, thanks to the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

Bad Teeth Go With Good Brains. An English scientist has pointed out that there are signs of a steady degeneracy In two sets of organs vital to the well being of the human race, and the fall is most marked among the western nations. The evidence is that, coincident with the mental advance of man, there has been a diminution in the provision of teeth. In the ape, the negro, and the white man, brain and teeth are inversely proportional to efficiency. Increase of cunning has reduced the work of the teeth, and the demand of the brain for blood has starved the former; disorders of digestion show that the balance is unsatisfactory.

The feelings of nervousness, the befogged mind, the ill-temper, the pale and wrinkled face, hollow end circled eyes, result most often from those disorders peculiar to women. For the woman to be happy and good-looking she must naturally have good health. Dragging-down feelings, hysteria, hot-flashes or constantly returning pains and aches—are too great a drain upon a woman's vitality and strength. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription restores weak and sick women to sound health by regulating and correcting the local disorders which are generally responsible for tho ebvjve distressing symptoms.

How Can byndon Do It? Read and you will know HE DOES NOT have two or three high priced trimmers to pay. HE DOES NOT depend upon it the whole year for a business. HE DOES NOT have that store expense—light, fuel and rent—it is only one department of his store. HE DOES NOT want to make a big profit on one hat but would rather sell two for that profit and have two pleased customers. He wants the business and to get it he is working to please the people. Now, ladies, you can see how Lyndon can sell Hats at those prices. But Does He Have the Latest Styles? He certainly does, receiving new Hats from the East every few days, getting the latest styles, up-tothe minute. Not only that, but he will take your order for any style of Hat and get it for you at those prices. ——At Lyndon's they are always glad to show their stock whether you bay or not, and he gives you all an invitation to visit this one department especially.

The One Chassis With Different Bodies Converted Dyak, Forced by Sweetheart to Hunt Heads, Brought Those ef Her Relative*. The missionary llgsted a free* offer. "Yet," he said, "I have seen grim happenings in my time. The grln,- most, I suppose, occurred among the Dyak head hunters. "We had converted a young Dyak, and the lad had abandoned head hunting forever. But he met a girl, a beautiful girl, and then—" The missionary shook his head and Bighed, "The girl listened to his wooing, for be was a handsome lad, but smoked heads to a Dyak maid are what Jewels are to a chorus girl, and with a curl of the lip she said: " 'You vow you love me, but you bring me no heads to prove it.' " 'But I am a Christian/ he replied. " 'When did a Dyak wooer ever go a-wooing without heads?' said Bhe. 'You are not a man; you are a girl!' "The young convert ground his teeth and left her. The next morning early he staggered into her presence with bloodshot eyes. There was a bag on hie shoulder. " 'You asked for heads/ h e said. •Look!' "And he emptied from the bag onto the floor the heads of her father and her two brothers!" The missionary smiled Badly. "That wasn't playing the game," he said. "It's the heads of enemies that the head hunter must bring in, not the heads of one's own brother tribesmen. They shut the young convert in a slatted cage of bamboo to starve to death. He died under his sweet*1 heart's eye." Dries Grain Cut Quickly and Permits It to Remain So All the Y«ar Around. # « ^ H ^ i H » * < » t ^ t H i * » « » J i < > « « t H < * » J. Gk 8TSIN.)

Primogeniture. The law of primogeniture sends back Its roots to the most ancient times. Away back in the patriarchal ages the first-born son had a superiority over all his brethren, and in the absence of his father was in every Important sense the head pt the house. Upon the death of the father he became, by the unwritten law, which could not be questioned, the priest and lord of the family, and naturally to him fell th* property as well as the honors of the household. Primogeniture, wherever it is found today, i i the lingering remnant of the ancient custom—a custom which common tense tnd justice pronounce to be as unfair as it is superstitious.

Don't leave your valuable farm machinery standing unprotected in the field. Rabbits sometimes gnaw and damage blackberry, raspbarry and other bushes. A good implement house with a fully equipped repair shop can be built for $300. The great virtue of alfalfa is its ability to increase the nitrogen content of the soil. All plants which have the ability to add nitrogen to the soil, like alfalfa, are called legumes. The farmer can improve his property cheaper than a person in almost any other business. Drainage lessens evaporation simply by removing the surplus snow and rain water by filtration. Put some manure around the gooseberry, .currant and raspberry bushes, if you didn't do it last month. It is the consensus of oprhlon that a small farm well worked is more profitable than a large one poorly worked. Grass roots must have protection from the winter frosts if good meadows are secured and maintained from year to year. A two-foot piece of old steel rail from the railway track Is a very convenient thing on the farm. It may be used as a, cheap anvil. Manure increases the capacity of a soil to hold water. This .t does by reason of the large amount of organic matter ft contains. Without doubt one of the pressing problems with which the averagewestern fanner has to deal is that of securing reliable 'farm help. The corn grower should constantly bear in mind tnat while growing t l * corn, he iM preparing for future ' and other small grain crops* The fanner who does not pull t h t leak plug out of his pump before tbe ither becomes cold enough t o lreese it up solid while full of water, may not find it worth while doing as tXterwards. icturtMil at OUR expetme If foranr reason tbey are not Katlhf«< w.rjr on examination.

"Worthless reading makes worthless people." Put that In big letters and hang it up in your sitting-room, where you can see it every day, and where tire young people can see it. Maybe it will call their attention to the books they are reading, which are uplifting or degrading, Bays the Ohio State Journal They are one or the other. Parents don't seem to realize this. Nice out of ten of them do not seem to understand the significance of a book. An education amounts to nothing if a boy or girl turns it into shallow reading. Their minds are filled with trash anj their thinking 1B weak, when they read the kind of books that are mostly read these days. It lg a sad mistake to allow this matter to go at random, and to allow the youth's taste for reading to grow rank and wild. The highest triumph of an education is the desire and habit to read good books. It makes no difference how well a boy gets along in his nqattiematics or language, if he has no taste for good reading it is all waste. Parents will take great interest in tho marks their child gets at school, but they are hopelessly careless as to what those marks mean for him In his after life. It is time they were giving attention to this subject. 1,635 PERSONS WENT DOWN NUMBER OF DEAD REACHES 1,635—MANY WOMEN DIED IN EMBRACE OF THEIR HUSBANDS, REFUSING TO LEAVE THEM.

For at least four hundred years Journalism has been a profession without academic recognition, in that a course of study was required to enter its portals. The late Joseph Pulitzer felt that it should be raised to the proper rank, and he founded and endowed a college, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. To the headship of this new institution is called Dr. Talcott Williams of this city, one of the deans of American journalism, and one whose experience, travel, accomplishments and scholarship make the selection wholly admirable. Journalism is not wholly taught. It receives more recruits than almost any other profes- HtonT-and—most -of the postttlants-faHby the wayside. It is a trying-out process which resultB in successes in many directions other than newspaper work. To fit into the peculiar niche which makes Journalism so important is given to few, but it is certain that no young man ever entered Journalism and left it without carrying away valuable lessons.

Seven hundred and forty-five persons, mostly women, sick in heart and body, wrote into the annals of maritime1 history the loss of the finest steamship ever built by man, They were the survivors of the White Star liner Titanic, which sank, how foremost, with i ,635 souls aboard, her captain at the bridge, her colors Hying and her hand playing, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," in 2,000 fathoms of water off the banks of Newfoundland, under starlit skies, at 2:20 a. m. Monday as the survivors pulled away in lifeboats, With one voice they told of the splendid heroism of those who re« mained behind to find a wateTy grave that, thev might live. Capt. Smith died, they said, as a gallant sailor should, after having first placed all the women who would go aboard the lifeboats. There were many who stayed behind to die in their husbands' arms. From their narratives stand out in bold relief the following facts: The Titanic was making 21 knots an hour when she struck the-- iceberg. No one at first thought she would fiink. She remained afloat more than two hours. The iceberg ripped open her bowels below the water line. In»tant panic was averted by Capt. Smith's terse appeal to his crew: "Be British, my men!" A small number of steerage passengers tried to rush for the lifeboats and were held back by the crew and other passengers. The Titanic turned her nose for the bottom when the last lifeboat was less than a hundred yards away, reared her stern high in the air and trembled for a moment before seeking the bottom. There were two explosions whe-n the inrushing waterB reached her boilers. When she sank there was silence; a moment later the cries and supplications of the 1,500 dying'men arose In chorus indescribable over the spot where she went down. For hours the survivors rowed in lifeboats over a calm sea in bitter cold until the Carpathia picked them up, In the aftermath of the disaster the principal developments were the testimony of J. Bruce Iamay, managing director of the White Star line, before the senate investigating committee, and the removal of surviving members of the Titanic's crew aboard the U p - land. The Titanic struck an iceberg about 00 feet high, which ripped the liner's sides open and made the watertight compartments useless and while, the vessel was gradually sinking, the icy water reached her steaming boilers, causing an explosion which sent her to the bottom. Among the hundreds on her decks to ihe last were Col. John .TBcob Astor and Major Archibald Butt, President Taft'8 military aide, Benjamin Guggenheim, Jacques Futrelle, George D. Wldener, Henry B. Harris and scores of aa well-known persons, lsldor Straus was among them also wit^t Mrs-. Straus, who refused to leave her husband behind when she had the opportunity to save her life. THE LAST SCENE. Aa the acrenma of t h e s t r u g - g l i n g hundred* of the Titanic's p a s s e n g e r s w h o hnd Jumped Into the w a t e r multiplied, another aound irna heard, strong; and clear at first, then fainter in the dlatance. It wu* the m e l o d y of the hymn, " X e a r e r , My ttod, to Thee," played by t h e s t r i n g o r . che*trn in t h e dining; aaloon of d y i n g ahlp. Some of thoae on the w a t e r started to Ming t h e word*, but g r e w allent aa t h e y realised that for the men who ployed the music n a n n sacrament noon to be c o n s u m m a t e d by death. The siren s t r a i n s of the h y m n und the frantic cries of t h e dying; blended in n aymphony of aorr o w — a never equalled requiem. ) THE WRECK OF THE TITANIC Sunday had been a pleasant day on the big ship. In the morning one of the clergymen aboard held divine service. In the afternoon the decks TOre gay with person* taking the sunlight and adr. In the evening a concert given in the "ballroom enlisted the aid of the talented passengers. The smoking room was filled with professional and business men, some playing cards, others reading, still others discussing the record run of that day. Charles M. Hays and Col. Grace were deploring the competition in speed and size that runs like a mania among the steamship companies. In the cafe, ('apt. Smith and J. Bruce Ismay sat dining at a table aaking plans for speeding the ship up on Tuesday, when for the first time she should be run at her topmost speed. This had been the plan of every day since the ship left Southampton—63 revolutions a minute Wednesday; 70- revolutions Thursday; 72 revolutions Friday; 75 revolutions Saturday; 77 revolutions Sunday. The owners now say that the ship was not going full speed, and technically they tell the truth, for the Titanic, had never gone full speed, which was 80 revolutions, but was gradually working up towards that when on Sunday night she entered the berg-infested seas. Rescued passengers Bay that at 11 o'clock the captain and J. Bruce Ismay, the managing director of the owning company, still sat dining in the cafe, although Ismay contends he was asleep in his berth at 11:40 when the ship struck. The night was clear, cold and starry. The sea was smoothed out—"I hadn't seen such a smooth sea in years," says a rescued member of the crew. The lookouts in their crowsnest far us above the decks had received sharp orders to look out for icebergs. The Titanic plowed on under her 77 revolutions a minute and the gayety below was just beginning to lose its zest in weariness when a jangle of bells in the pilot house sounded "danger immediately ahead." The officer's hand Was on the button which would stop the engines, when a dull, scraping"! crunching sound—half roar, half groan— ran along the ship's side. In a moment the captain was above issuing his orders. The first was to the ship's carpenter to go below and sound the ship. He never returned. An officer was sent below, but had not gone far before he came running back with a message that only the captain heard. The more than 2,000 passengers were lulled in the delusion that come what may the Titanic might lie helpless in the seas but never could sink, and those who came on deck thought it only a wise precaution the captain was taking when he ordered all on board to don life belts. By this time officers and stewards had quickly gone to their rooms and slipped loaded revolvers into their pockets.. On the top deck the wireless operator was sending out the most ominous call ever heard at sea. And then the great steam sirens began to screech through the night. From a high point another officer was streaking the dark with rockets, The captain standing on his bridge ordered the boat crews to stand by ready to cast off. And now the sense of imminent danger possessed some of the passengers, and the terrified steerage passengers were filling stairways and ladders in their attempt to gain the decks. In the meantime the great "IF" of disaster was sporting on the ocean. The Parisian, the one steamship in those waters that could have saved all souls on board, was deaf to the calls of the stricken ship—her wireless operator was asleep in bed! Farther away was the Carpathian-and she, too, wouULhave been deaf had not her wireless man been accidentally detained at ^his machine. But for one "IF" 1.C05 persons might now be alive, and but For another "IF" the Titanic, from managing director to cabin boy'and the entire passenger list, might have gone to the bottom or died frozen in lifeboats. . "Send out succor"—"S. O. S."—"send out succor," called the stricken ship, and half a dozen vessels turned their noses in the direction of the disaster. On the deck of the Titanic, surprise had given way to consternation, and consternation to bedlam, as the lowering of the lifeboats began. Women were thrown into the boats and their children Hung after them. Four brawny immigrants fought thein way by main force into a boat, and an officer stepped in after them, shot them dead one after the other, and tumbled their bodies into the sea. One man in the darkness hid himself under a lifeboat seat, and so" was saved. Another in his nightgown was mistaken _for_a woman_and__uushed into a boat, _wh erehejfell in a_huddled heap gibbering out his thanks to God. Wives begged that their husbands be allowed to accompany them, and sailors drove the men back. "There's boats on the other side," called an" officer to get the crush of men away, and when the men rushed to the other side they found there were no boats* Returning a double guard of seamen kept them back from the rail. The captain and an officer stood on the bridge surveying the scene and giving orders. The wheelhouee was empty, the wheelsman having gone to help man a boat. Early in the panic the owner of the ship cante with a bodyguard of seamen and was placed with the women in a lifeboat, while a thausapd doomed men looked down at him. Deny as he does, .1, Bruce Ismay-cjrihot annul the testimony of (hose women's eyes. • Back in that crowd were men \of might,—William T. Stead, Rev.

First Officer Murdock on Bridge When Steamer Struck. The great liner Titanic was plunging Sunday night through a comparatively placid Bea on the surface of which there was much mushy Ice and here and there a number of compartlively harmless looking floes. The night was clear and stars visible^ First Officer Murdock was in, charge of.the bridge. The first intimation of the presence of the Iceberg that he received was from the lookout in the crow's-nest. They were so close on the -berg at this moment that it was practically impossible to avoid a collision with it. Speed of Boat Too Great. The first officer did what other startled and alert commanders had done under similar circumstances, that is, he made an effort by going full speed ahead on hie Btarboard prdpeller. simultaneously throwing We helm over, to make a rapid turn and clear the beTg. The maneuver was not successful. IJe succeeded in saving his bows from crashing into the iceberg, but nearly the entire length of the underbody of the great ship on the starboard side was ripped. The speed of the Titanic, estimated to be at least 21 knots, was so terrific that the knlfe-llke edge of the iceberg's spur protruding under the sea cut through her like a can-opener. The shock was almost imperceptible. The first officer did not realize thai the great ship had received Its death wound, and none of the passengers, it is believed, had the slightest suspicion that anything more than a usual minor sea accident had hap* pened. Hundreds who had gone to their berths and were asleep were unawakened by the virbratlon. Within a few minutes stewards and other members of the crew were sent round to arouse the people. .Some utterly refused to get up. The stewards had almost to force the doors of the Btateroom» to make the somnolent appreciate their peril. >usled himself getting other women away. Futrelle forced his wife to leave him. Poor Mrs. Straus looked at life with separation from her husband and at death 'united with him, and chose the latter-- -life could not be long for them at the very best. Put these are noted names—who can tell of the heroism of men who were net known beyond their own circle? Terrific inefficiency was everywhere. Some of the boats put off with only haff their capacity. One boat was oared by the women, the only seamen aboard drunk and Incapable. The Titanic was listing to-starboard and settling by the bow. Seamen in the little boats knew that sign, and pulled away with all their might to escape the awful suction expecte/1 to accompany the plunge below. The owner of the Titanic looked back once, and after that he did not look back. The women in the boats were hysterical, and to drown from their ears the shrieks from the decks the sailors sang that old hymn of the sea: Pi! 11 for the shore, sailor; Pull for the shore; Heed not the a n g r y w a v e Hut bend to the our; Safe within the life-boat, sailor, Safe for evermore, Leave the poor old battered w r e c k And null for the shore." The forward lights of the Titanic sunk lowor and lower. Her band waa heard playing, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and faint voices carrying the hymn floated across the water, Sometimes the small boats grazed a floating block of ice, and sometimes they pushed a body away. Miles down on the horizon the Carpathia was racing on her errand of mercy.. The Titanic's bow was awash, and the captain went over, but finding a baby in the water swam with it to a lifeboat and handed it in. Those who took it saw that.lt was dead. The captain went back to his ship, where a cook tried to drag him to a small boat, but he wrenched himself loose with an angry, "Let me go." Men Whose reason-was gone, shrieked deliriously on the decks. Others nervously smoked and assured each other that the Titanic could not sink before help came. Now and again a man slipped into a darkened corner, and a sharp"pistol shot told the story of the death he preferred. "They say drowning isn't so bad," said a young fellow who had kissed his wife good- Jjye 10 minutes before. And there were prayers—God, what prayers! Men whose lips had not formed a petition in years called upon the God of their childhood's teaching., Prayers for safety, prayers that the offerer might ntay jttjs -mfian,. prayers making confession and seeking peace before the awful siieflce should snut in —yes, every rescued passenger testifies to the storm of prayer that went up from, the doomed Titanic's decks, v f The great ship settled and stood with her nose in the deep and her stern in tjie air. There was a rumble like unto thunder as lier machinery, torn from its bases, tumbled toward the bow. The Titanic was giving up the ghost. A black masB of men were seen rushing toward the stern. Their cries and shrieks were heard by the farthest boat, half a mile away. Blaqk forms dropped Into the water. More revolver shots were heard. And then with a hiBS that was half a sigh the Titanic sank to the deepest grave off the Grand Banlfs. The sea was filled with struggling men. William T. Stead, the greatest editor in Europe, and John Jacob Astor, one of the richest men in America, clung to a floating piece of cork, but the chill of the icy sea sought their limbs and then their hearts and they sank back into the water. A raft floated by with 30 men aboard, and they were saying the Lord's prayer in unison. Col. Gracie of the United States army was one of them. Here and there a hardy sailor, inured to the, wet and the cold, kept himself afloat on a bit of wreckage. Men called for help where there was no help, and the last despairing cries of hopeless victims sounded over the water for an hour after the Titanic -was no more- Bearing nearer and nearer, her; captain straining his eyes for sign of the ship, came the Carpathia, and with her came the dawn. A few boats rocking on the sea and a great mass of floating debris were all the captain saw. He stood on his bridge and wept. There were dead bodies in some of the boats, and other dead bodies were clearly seen floating about. But the living were taken aboard and all that tender sympathy could do was done—but there is not enough on earth to heal the wound the sea had made. Rachels mourned for their children and would not be comforted, for they were not. Brides mourned for their bridegrooms, children for their parents, and wives of many years for the husbands of their early struggles. Such a mass of misery silences the tongue and stuns the imagination. The religious solemnity ever Induced by the presence of death was laid on».that whole shipload. The captain of the Carpathia turned the nose of his ship toward the iceberg that had sent the Titanic to the bottom, and there the people stood with bared heads and streaming ftfees while thanksgiving was offered for the saved, and a solemn burial service retd'for the dead.

The profitableness of the poultry •will l>e governed largely by the comfort and convenience of the house they occupy. The following plan has proven very successful after a thorough trial, says the Homestead. The house is twenty-four fet long, fourteen feet wide and five feet high at the rear and eight feet in front. The foundation is six inches wide and extends six inches above the surface of the f •A Profitable Hen House. ground. It is made of coarse gravel and cement mixed to the proportion of one part cement and six parts gravel. The sills are 2x4 material bolted to the foundation by bolts set into the cement while it was soft. The bolts projected just £ar enough above the cement so the taps could be screwed down tightly on the sills. The studding is also of 2x4 material. The rafters are two by six lumber. By using this dimension they can be' T?ut farther apart than by using 2x4s. The entire building was boarded solidly with twelve-inch boards with the exception- oi -the fronts-Only-three.JJeetof that was boarded from foundation. A place for door was made three feet and a half wide to permit a wheelbarrow to enter conveniently. After the building was boarded it was covered with a good grade of roofing material. The open space in front was covered with rabbit wife to prevent the chickens from flying out and to keep birds from entering to eat up the chicken feed. The boards for droppings were put three' feet above the ground and the roosts eight inches above the boards. Along the west side were placed the dark nests, two rows of them, one above the other. A drop curtain, of burlap was hung to the front I of the house. This is made to roll up by aid of ropes and pulleys. The points in favor of this house are lots of sunlight, plenty of fresh air, and a good scratching place for a hundred bens.

By ranging them along the side of your feedroom you will have them out of the way and at the same time easy of access. Covers may be made, or can be purchased for about 10 cents each. By labeling; each you will have as fine a feedroom as anyone. These barrels are easy to handle, and can be cleaned out by simply rolling the the one that you want to get away from the rest.

A dark coop for the hen and youn* •chicks is a nuisance. The youngsters crowd into the back part of the coop and can only be felt, not seen. By placing a glass door In the front of the coop, the Interior is always exposed to view. A small sliding door \ ' . » . • A Light Chicken-Coop. at the bottom Will permit the'chicks to m a out, while the old h|h can be kept confined. Several holes should be bored Into tho side of the coop la order to'tJ*e ventilation. The coop should b* about 14x14 inches aad tho shouM * o at least 10x14 l n c a m f No Other Fowl 8o Interesting or So Helpless as Young Poult—Feeding of Much Importance. W There is no fowl BO interesting or so unable^ to care for itself as the young turkey the first ten days or two weeks of its life. The young turkeys must be kept very warm and dry, but not where the fresh air and sunshine will be excluded, writes Mrs. J. J. England in the Prairie Farmer. Keep them in a roomy pen for ten days at' least, with a floored box or coop for a roost* ing place. It Is better to have a generous supply of straw in the coop as they will keep warmer through cool nights and damp days. I find the turkey hen cares better for the young turkey than a foster mother or chicken hen. She is more thoughtful and watchful and can care for them so much longer than, the chicken hen. The secret in turkey raising is keeping them warm and dry and feeding them generously for the first two weeks. For the first few feeds give them hard boiled eggs with a little, black pepper, with fresh water in very shallow pans. After the first few feeds make corn meal loaf by mixing with sour milk, soda, and a large tablespoon of ginger to three pints of milk, add three eggs. Mix in thin dough and bake well. Feed this with curds or "cottago cheese" well peppered for two weeks, then small grain may be fed. Keep the shells of the boiled eggs crumbled fine In the open so they will have free access to them. Charcoal is very good to mix with the shells. Ginger acts as a stimulant to the young turkey and prevents them from becoming weak. If the turkeys get thoroughly chilled they will be subject to chill cholera or disentary. A few drops of boiled sweet milk with a small pinch of ginger if given every half hour will' save the turkeys after they have become too weak U> care for food. Remember they should be fed every two A Profitable Type. hours the first week. They est a very small amount at a time and are off for a ramble around the pen. They must be well fed the first two weeks three times a day, then as they grow older, morning and evening will be sufficient. ** SENATOR -RAYNER SAYS W O R L D CALLS FOR PROSECUTION Of* HIM AND HIS COMPANY. • RELIES ON B R I T I S H JUSTICE TO DEAL W I T H G U I L T Y OFFICIALS. 8ays He Does Not Believe Ismay Left Titanic on L?st Life Boat and Says He Is Coward If He Did. SAVING TOILET TABLES An indictment rare'ly equalled in its vigor of J. Bruce lamav, managing director, and other officials of the White Star line, holding them responsible for the Titanic disaster, was delivered in the senate by Senator Rayner, of Maryland, who pictured Ismay as "the officer, primarily res'-jnsible for the whole disaster, who lias reached his destination in safety and uuharmed." Senator Rayner pointed out that while there were: no civil nor criminal remedies available in the American courts, criminal and civil suits could be brought in the British courts and that a congressional committee would have absolute authority to nubpena every one connected with the disas* ter and that if any one should refuse to answer questions he could be indicted and imprisoned for contempt. Doesn't Believe Ismay. "Mr, Ismay claims, according to reports, that ho took the last life1 boat," criecf Senator Rayner. "I do not believe it, and if he did, it was cowardly to take any life boat, for the managing director of the line, with his board, is criminally responsible for this appalling; tragedy. ''If this had happened on an American vessel, there would be no question that an indictment would be found and if the facts were sustained, the officers of the company could be convicted of manslaughter, if not of murder, because the evidence is clear that the vessel was not properly equipped with efficient life-saving apparatus. "I have not the slightest doubt that the northern route was taken in obedience to Mr. Ismav's^-d-tfect orders and that with fu^VJwa'fning he risked the life of his entire ship to make a speedy passage. ....- ftFix the Responsibility." "I care not what the rules of the English admiralty are. Here you have the spectacle of the head of the line failing to see that his ship was properly equipped with live-saving apparatus, heedless of the warnings that he was sailing in a dangerous sea, forsaking his vessel and permitting i,50t» of her passengers and crew to be swallowed by the sea. The martyrdom and the agonies of separating that took place on board the sinking shij) are too fearful for the mind to contemplate, but Ismay, the officer KEEP THE CHICKS GROWING Absolutely Necasaary That Little Fellows Potaew Constitutional Vigor for Success. It Is absolutely necessary for the greatest success that the chicks should be bom with a store of constitutional vigor that will push them to the front and keep them growing from the minute they start Into life in the shell until they have reached mature age. Given a lot of chicks that are born well and they will take life cheerfully and grow Into perfect maturity. The beet way to breed a lot of culls is to use eggs from hens w>th depleted vitality and then neglect the chicks after they are hatched. A steam heated hen house is a joke. Never tend a fowl to market that baa a full crop. Ventilation; is more important than heat in the poultry house. Bee that your incubators and brooders are in good, condition now. If you notice symptoms of cold among your fowls, put coai-oll in the drinking water. If you buy eggs that are shipped by express do not set until they have rested 24 hours. Don't forget to place a newspaper in the bottom of incubator, it win save a lot of labor. It is doing things at the right time and never neglecting the flock for a single day that brings success. Never buy an incubator of less than 100 egg capacity. 200 is better and costs but a trifle more to ran it. In the breeding pen above ail there should be provision made for exercise if vigorous healthy chicks are wanted. Weed seed from the cleaning machines of local seed stores have some value as a chicken feed, says a poultry raiser. It is not altogether what a hen eats that makes eggs, and flesh, but rather what she Is able to digest and assimilate. Why not a flock of duets this year? They are easily raised and will make more weight with the same amount of feed than «fclckes*, The market i* good tor * * primarily—responsible for the whult; disaster, has reached his destination in safety. "No legislation can bring bafk to earth a single life lost upon thaf fatal night. What we can do, is to help to fix the responsibility, if possible, and rely upon British justice to bring to bay the guilty directorate of this company. All W o r l d Will Applaud. "All civilized nations will applaud the criminal prosecution of the management of this line. If they can be made to suffer, no sympathy will go for them, and if it does, it will be submerged in the overwhelming lamentation that tdday re-echoes throughout the world, for the victims of their culpable carelessness,, a recklessness that sent hundreds of their fellow-beings into eternity, desolating homes and firesides, and turned this land into a house of mourning. "In this hour of our calamity we appeal to the majesty of the law to deal out retributory justice- to this guilty company to the last degree." Two more bills framed on the lesson drawn from the Titanic dl/aster were introduced in the house. One of them, by Ren. O'ShaugneBsy, of Rhode Island, would compel all ocean-going steamships to or from the United States to carry constant and adequate wireless. Representative Parran, of Maryland, offered a measure to appropriate $100,000 for naval target practice in destroying icebergs, by the guns of the warships and by dropping explosives from airships. Sea Will Claim AH Victims. "The bodies of the victims of the Titanic are at the bottom of the deep, never to leave it," declared Prof. Robert W. Wood, of the chair of experimental physics of Johns Hopkins university. "It Is altogether improbable that anv of the corpses will ever return to the surface, as is the case with bodies drowned In shallow water. At the depth of two miles the pressure of the water is something like 6,000 pounds to the square inch, which is far too great to be overcome by buoyancy ordinarily given drowned bodies by the gases generated in time. That the bodies sank to the bottom of the sea there is no question," he continued. "The Titanic'a victims who were not carried down with the boat followed until the very bottom of the sea was reached." Saginaw's budget for 1912 amounts to $684,070, 196,000 more than last year. "Joy • riding" is growing so common in Kalamazoo that the prosecuting attorney has found it necessary to issue a warning to thoae who take to that kind of sport, l^ast week four machines were stolen.

NEED FOR M A T E R I A L UNDER T H E EMBROIDERED COVER. Idea Is to Prevent Disaster When Liquids Are Spilled—Rubber Sheeting, While Expensive at First, Really Economical. As a rule, it is not the mere spilling of a liquid ou one's pretty embroidered bureau, dressing table or washstand covers that spoils thein, but the instant effect of that moisture on the varnished, surface beneath. 4 In fully nine caBes out of ten—on the dressing table, at least—the cause of disaster is toilet water, tincture of benzoin, spirits of camphor, or some similar article with the alcohol base, that at once dissolves the varnish it touches and makes a nasty mark on the linen above. Where the old-fashioned washstand, with its bowl and pitcher and soap dish, is used instead of a stationary one with running water, the splashes, while less disastrous, have to be taken at once into account, as even water standing iuoce than a few minutes will make sad blemishes on polished wood. Many housekeepers put folded paper under the embroidered covers, but this was never more than a makeshift. Even sheets of blotting paper, recently recommended, can only part. ly arrest the possible damage where alcohol has been spilled, as that fluid will penetrate with rapidity and even a few drops are able to eat into the varnish. A far better protection is given by eome of the waterproof fabrics how to be had. Rubber sheeting, covered with fabric on either side, while expensive in comparison with blotting paper, is true economy in the end, as it is odorless and Impervious to all moisture. Next to this, in point of desirability, would be a sheet of oiled silk—but this would need an undercover of plain muslin, to keep it from sticking to the wood in,ease anything warm happened to be set on the bureau or stand. Still less expensive would be ordinary white table oilcloth, but if this be chosen, it is wisdom not to use it while perfectly new, as ltTTas rather a pungent odor until after it has been exposed to the air for some time after leaving the store. This, too, would require a cover of muslin or white paper on Its waterproof side, but, like the other two materials mentioned, it affords perfect security and is well worthy the attention of any one to whom the welfare of fine linen covers is a matter of Interest. +m WOLVERINE NEWS BREVITIES , Eaton Rapids. -— The executive committee of the State Holiness Camp Meeting association has arranged to havti the work on the extensive imprqvements to the camp grounds started next week.

On account of Dunning's inability to officiate in the box this year, Pinckney was reckoned a weak sister, but LaRue Moran more than made good in the box, being found only for four hits and fanning three men. Harold Swarthout caught a fine game for Pinckney and in fact the whole team put up a good game, making only four errors. Stockbridgev got three of thftir rims in tha Hftrand inning when they bunched three hits with an error of Pinckney's, but were unable to draw anything better than a row of goose eggs until the eighth, when they managed to put another across.

Boys suits $2.60 tol8.50 in large assortments at Dancer's. Certain prominent motor manufactures of Detroit have appealed to the supreme court to knock out the so-called motor car speed ordinance on the grounds that it conflicts with the act passed by the legislature in 1909 for the "regulation of motor vehicles," which is still in force. I t is contended that this law specifically precludes all local authorities from regulating the speed of motors or making any other regulations conflicting with the law. The state law fixes the maximum speed on the streets of a city at 15 mjles per hour, and the penalty at $25 or 10 days for the first offence, ¢50 or 20 days for the second offence, and $100 or 30 days for the third offence. The traffic ordinance enacted by the city of Detroit fixes the speed minimum at 12 miles per hour in the down town district, and the penalty at anywhere from $1 to $300 and 30 days or both or either. The fundamental distinction however is, they claim, that the law gives the police court jurisdiction only and not the recorder's court where most of these motor car cases have been tried. There is one exception to the law. This provides that local authorities may make cemeteries. Fine Clip Of f u L - O. C. Burkhardt on MonJay brought to Chelsea from his farm in Lima the finest clip of wool that was ever placed on the Chelsea market, is the statement made by local buyers, The clip is f rom 60 full blood Black Top ewes, from one to five yeare old, and each fleece is as white as is possible unless they are put through a bleaching process. The length of the staple is from H to 5 in. ches and the average weight of each fleece is 10^ pounds. Every fleece is perfect and itie worth the time of any wool grower to go and see the clip. The load was viewed by from 40 to 50 persons before it was taken to the ware house. —Chelsea Standard. A Good SDOW The motion picture entertainment given at the opera bouse last Friday by the Chelsea Amusement Co. was thoroughly., enjoyed by those who attended it and the reels shown are claimed to be the clearest and best ever shown in Pinckney.

Billings gulped agalfir—"I suppose n o t ; don't blame you. Way you're iflxed, you don't have to." He walked Islowly to the window and back. "Take my advice, Dicky, and get those Are <oals Into your safe deposit vault first thing In the morning. H«llo, you're counting them off! That's wise." For with the knife he had left on the table I was cutting away the tough threads that held the rubles. I c"ut"off -ttar-weronct and tottrth,- 4eaving the first ruby at the collar and the other two alternates. "Go on," said Billings, as 1 laid down the knife. "You've only removed two." "Don't believe I'll cut off any more," i said. "Want yon to help me tie up 1 lie others Just as they were." "What!" 1 insisted. And though Hillings protested and argued and even called me ijamjea, we did as I said. For, by Jove, you know it was perfectly clear that if they had, been safe KO long under the little covers, the jewels couldn't find any better place, singular thing Hillings couldn't sou It. kind the crowned heads scoop for jewels of state." 1 nodded, and, getting up carelessly, I strolled to a window. "Devilish lovely night," I said, poking my head out. And it was. Stars overhead and all that sort of thing, and lots of them below, too—I could hear them singing over on Broadway. "All right, old chap; then here they go Into the street," I said. "If my friend can't have 'em, then no Jolly crowned heads shall. That's flat!"' Billings started forward with a regular scream. I waved him back. "Don't come any nearer, old chap," I said, holding my arm out of the window, "or, dash me, I'll drop them Instantly. Six stories, you know—stone flagging below." "Hut. Dicky—" "If you don't say you'll take 'era, time I count three, I'll give 'em a toss, by Jove! One!" "Here, Dicky! Don't be a—" "Two!" I counted. No bluff, you know; I meant jolly well to do it. "Just one word—one second, Dicky!" he yelled. "Let me oft with one, then. Dicky! Dicky, old chap! Be a good sportsman!" I hesitated.^ Dash It, one hates to take an advantage. Hillings stretched out his arm appealingly. "Do, old chap!" he pleaded. "Give me just one—one only!" His hand shook like a quivering what's-Its-name leaf. I yielded reluctantly. "Oh, well, then, call It off with one," I said. And with a sigh I tossed him one of the rubles and dropped the other in the pocket of my smoking-jacket. Billings wiped his forehead, and then he thanked me and wiped his eyes. - "So- go^d—of- you to give inr old chap," he snuffled. "Never will forget you for 11!" "Oh, I say, chuck it, you know!" I protested. "Whole family will thank you," he went on in his handkerchief. "Princely magnanimity and all that sort of thing—you'll just have to come up for the week end with me this—" blondes, every time; especially those going around in black." Billings spoke gloomily. "Let me tell you, my boy— and I know—don't you ever have anything to do with a blonde if she's In black, especially black silk—hear?" By Jove, his uplifted linger and fierce way of saying It gave me a regular turn, you know. But then there was the/ ruby, and I was thinking that— "Perhaps the four of them in a bracelet," I muttered, "with something else to help out. They might do." "They might," said Billings in a tone of coarse sarcasm. 'They might do for a queen!" I flashed a quick look at him. "Just what I was thinking," I answered gently. "Meantime," said Hillings, yawning, "let's go to bed." And just as I rang for Jenkins 1 suddenly was seized with a perfectly ripping idea that checked a long yawn right in the middle and almost broke my jaw. For I saw how I could do something handsome that would even up with Hillings in a way for the ruby he wouldn't take. 'Tell you what, old chap," I said, slapping him on the shoulder, "you are going to have them tonight!" "Have—have what?" burst from "him. "Rubles? I tell you I won't take another—" "Rubies!" I ejaculated contemptuously. "Rubies nothing! Something better—something worth while, dash it!" I saw ho would never guess it. "Why, you shall sleep in the pajamas from China," I exclaimed. And gathering them, I placed them in his hands. "Hy George, Dicky!" Hillings' face showed teeiiug. "How iiifernal ly clever of you, old chap! How thundering timely, too!" He held them up singly, studying their outlines critically. "And see here, Dicky—why, great Thomas' cats!" His eyes turned on me wonderingly. "Never noticed it before— did you? Hut I do'believe they are just my size!" \ i- JVO "HesidM, the pajamas had to have fastenhaajt; you know. I held one of the two rubios under the light, and, by Jove, I almost drop- .;po5 It—did drop my glass. Seeing a rftd-hot poker-polnt in your ringers • would give you the same turn. T "JRippers, Billings! Simply rippers!" T exclaimed. f held the other ruby beside its fellow, Then I waited, listening, and I heard Hillings' hand strike down on the back of a chair. "I guess I'll be going, old chap," he said gruffly. "Think I'd better, after all." He cleared his throat. "Sure you can't sell me one, Dicky?" Dashed At his voice didn't tremble. "Quite sure, dear boy," I murmured, "without turning around. "Not mine, you know—these two." Billings exploded then. It seemed tun opportunity to relieve himself. •"Not yours! Why, you dodgasted idiot, you nincompoop, you cuckoo, you chicken head! What notion have you « o t In that fool's noddle now? If those rubles are not yours, whose do you .think they are?" E whirled about quickly. "Yours," 1 eale.and laid them in his hand. "Ife cenotpllmenta, old chap." I add- * < Celling. Bjritfove!

He fell into a chair and Just sat there mouthing at me and then at the Jewels in his band. OM boy looked •devilish silly. Really acted like he had some sort of stroke—that sort of fchJat. I bnghed at him. "tijm't yon ane?" I said, trying to explain. "Wouldn't have known a -dished thing about the buttons being rubies but for you. So lucky they -came Jp j&e so I oan get a chance to tielp out your collection. Awfully glad, old'idhap."

And Billings looked regularly overcome. AH he could do waa just shake his head and pump my arm. Why, dash it, this seemed to affect him more even than giving in about the ruby. It was the first time I had ever accepted his Invitation, you know. "Tell you what, old chap," he said, as soon as he could speak. "I'm going to tell you what to do with that other stone. You aave that for her." "Her!" By Jove, I was so startled I lost the grip on my monocle. Billings nodded emphatically. "Yes, sir—for her; she'll be along one of these days." "By Jove, you know!" I was almost dizzy with a sudden Idea. 1 fished out the jewel aad held it before my glass, *jaictlag doabtfully at it. I wondered *t it was good enough for "her>" ^ "I say, •„ BlUtngs," I murmured thoughtfully. "Blende* or brunettes, you know—which wear rubies?** "Both!" He said it with a kind of jaw, sa«t. "They wear anything in t h / j e w e l line they can freese on to." s "But which—M His size! By Jove, I had forgotten all about the item of size! I Just collapsed into a chair as he said good night, and sat there blinking in a regular stupefaction of horror as his door closed behind him. For he was devilish sensitive about his bulk, and I dared not say a word. CHAPTER X. A Nocturnal Intrusion, "Oh. but I say, it's impossible, you know!" And 1 stared at Jenkins incredulously. He grinned foolishly. "I know, sir; but he's in 'em, just the same, and 1 must say they do fit lovely—Just easylike." "By Jove!" I gasped helplessly. "Then the jolly things must be made of rubber, that's all! Why, look here, he weighs over three hundred pounds, you know!" i Jenkins' head wagged sagaciously. ( [ think that's'how it is, sir; it's wonderful what they do.with rubber now; my brother wears a rubber cloth bandage that ain't no bigger 'round than my arm when, it's off of him, and he—- m r n a n y utosaana i ( isui W B I C D - i "Dare say," I said sleepily as I ten ife**J*|'jsj04<«ohsfJy.

"Thank you, sir—and goodnight," he murmured. How long I slept I cannot tell, as they Bay in stories, you know; but 1 was brought jolly wide awake by a light that shone through the bedroom's open door. For if there's one thing will wake me quicker than everything else it's a light in the room at night. Fact is, I always want it as black as the what's-its-name cave, or else I can't sleep. And this light came from the small electric stand on the writing-desk. I could tell that by the way it shone. And just then the little silver gong in there chimed three. Jolly rum hour for anybody to be up unless they were having some fun or were sick. So I raised my head and called BOl'tly: "Jenkins—er—Billings!" No answer. Reluctantly I swung out and stepped within the next room. Not a soul there, by Jove! Then I moved over to Billings' door, which was wide open for coolnfiss, like my own. l could not see the shadowed alcove in which the bed was placed, and so I stood there hesitating, hating awfully to risk the pos-* sibllity of disturbing him, don't you know. And just then my eyes, ranging sleepily across the room toward the private hall, were startled by the apparition of an open doorway. Startled, all right! And yet, by Jove, I was iu such a jolly fog, I just stood there, nodding -and. hailing- at it for a full minute bei'ore I could take It in. "What I call devilish queer," I decided. I walked over and stuck my head out into the dark hall. "Hillings! Jenkins!" I whispered. Ily Jove, not a word! Everything as silent as the tomb! I didn't like it u bit—so mysterious, you know. Besides, dash it, the thing was getting me all waked up! I just know if once I got excited and thoroughly awake, it would take me nearly ten minutes to get to sleep again. And, by Jove, just then the excitement came, for I got hold of the fact :iftor \ had stared at it a while, that the door of my apartment opening Into the outer corridor was standing ajar. Why, dash it, it was not only standing, it was moving, Then suddenly the broad streak of light from the corridor widened under the impulse of a freshening breeze, and the door swung open witn, a bang. And then I heard my name spoken. Hy Jove, I had been standing there with my mouth open, bobbing my head like a silly dodo; but, give you my word, I was suddenly wide awake as a jolly owl wagon! Away down the corridor, by the mail chute, a man was standing, reading a framed placard. N^hlng particularly remarkable in this, but as the door banged he turned his head sharply and ejaculated: "Dammit! Now, that will wako Lightnut!" I was surprised, because I couldn't recall ever having seen him before; yet, standing as he did under the light, I had opportunity for a devilish good view. He was a heavy set old party, rather baldisb, with snowy mutton chops and a beefy complexion that was jolly well tanned below the hatband line, you know. The kind of old boy you size up as one of the prime feeder sort and fond of looking on the wine when It is Oporto red. Had something of the cut of the retired India colonels one sees abeut the Service clubs in London—straight as a lamp post still, but out of training and in devilish need of tapping—that., sort of duck, you know! What a respectable-looking old party might be up to, wandering around a bachelor apartment building at three In the morning, was none of my business. What's more, you know, I didn't care a jolly hang. But the thing that dashed me was that just as I moved toward the door to close it, he uttered my name again and came straight toward me as though to speak. So I had to wait, by Jove, for I couldn't close the door in his face. Awfulb* rotten thing to do—that, you knpw '•Vxist his floor and wants to inquire," I decided. And then as he toddled across the last yard and stopped before me, 1 saw that the old chap was in his night things—some darkish sort of pajamas. "By George!" he exclaimed with a leer that showed his almost toothless old gums. "Bet you never would guess what.I got « p for!" No, dash it, L didn't even care to try. I just coughed a little. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Getting Americanized. It does not take long for America's future citizens to adopt .American styles. He had just landed^at the Battery, and'was toiling ,ul> Broadway with his big canvas-covered tniiik upon his back. A bright orange tie set off bia crisp black locks, and a long, heavy ulster flapped at his heels. Hut, crowning glory of all—perched on hiB head, and toyed with by the biting winds that swept in from the sea, was a brand-new American atraw hat—a fitting crown for a citizen in a country where every man is a king.

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING "When my baby was six months old, his body was completely covered with large sores that seemed to Itch and burn, and cause terrible suffering. The eruption began in pimples which would open and run, making large sores. His hair came out and finger nails fell off, and the sores were over the entire body, causing little or no sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs would come off when I removed hla shirt. "We tried a great many remedies, but nothing would help him, till a friend induced me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment I used the Guticura Soap and Ointment but a short time before I could see that he was improving, and in six weeks' time he was entirely cured. He had suffered about six weeks before we tried the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although we had tried several other things, and doctors, too. I think the Cuticura Remedies will do all that is claimed for them,, and a great deal more." (Signed) Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson, Mont., Jan. 28, 1911.

A St. Louis dealer declared to a convention of egg and poultry men that "it Is the coldatorage men who insure cheap eggs instead of high-priced ones, as some legislators would have us -believe. Were it not for cold storage,, eggs would go to one dollar ^ dozen In winter, and in some places would be absolutely unobtainable, says the Omaha Bee. Of course, cold storage boosts the price occasionally In the summer; but if It did not, farmers in that season could not get more than two or three cents a dozen for their eggs." No doubt much of this 1B strikingly true. -. The cold-storage plant Is, indeed, a leveler of conditions, not only for eggs, but many other articles of produce, and, when properly conducted, with the purpose of serving natural needs and conditions, the cold storage becomes a moet valuable economic factor. The trouble is that it is not always so conducted. Its potential harm equals its potential good, and, unfortunately, eelflsh men have exploited this fact to their own advantage and the consumers', detriment It Is this mismanagement of the cold-storage system Itself against which remedial legislation is directed.

Washington.—The disaster to the great Titanic has stirred the officials in Washington to action along a dozen different lines. It is expected that supervising Inspectors of steamships hereafter will pay less attention to regulations of safety laid down by foreign governments and will more rigidly enforce the American regulations. Moreover, while the Titanic struck an iceberg, it is probable that there will be still more careful search made of the seas to find derelict vessels which are a menace to navigation. As things stand now, the United States government allowB foreign vessels to come into the portB of this country provided their safeguards, such as lifeboats and other things, approach in numbers those demanded by the laws of this country. It is always taken for granted that the English government, for instance, has the welfare of its marine service at heart and that therefore Its regulations can be regarded by this country as safe. Government officials here believe that the English board of trade which regulates such matters thought that In the Titanic it had a boat which was unsinkable and that therefore it would be all right not to insist that there should be enough life boats to provide for all the passengers. Congress has been very much stirred uj) over the matter of lifeboats and other appliances by the disaster to the great steamship. The administration has felt a personal sense of loss because of the death of Major Archibald W. Butt, the White House aid, and this has added to its desire naturally that in the future lives should bo better safeguarded. The secretary of commerce and labor, Mr. N*agel. also has taken the—matter-ucwith his subordinates, and unquestionably representations will be made to the foreign officials who govern such matters that hereafter the regulations of the United States must be lived up to in every port. Many Derelicts Afloat. So far as the matter of derelicts is concerned, it Is known that nearly 400 of them are floating about the seas In various parts of the world, each one being a menace to navigation. floats are out all the time seking derelicts for the purpose of destroying them, but It seems that as fast as one is destroyed another takes its place, for vessels are always being deserted at sea by their crews when it seems that sinking is imminent. It is said that there never Is much of an increase in the number of derelicts, but It stays about the same year In and year out. The derelict is still as much of a menace to navigation as the Iceberg, and more of one because it is apt to get in the way of ships at every season of the year, while the icebergs are a danger ordinarily only for about six weeks. The ustial time of the icebergs' menace is In June, but this year they broke loose from their "moorings" much earlier than usual and appeared southeast of Cape Race utterly unexpectedly. Why Icebergs Appeared Early, It would seem that in these days of bighJy developed meteorological knowledge the presence of floating ice in the path of ocean steamships at an earlier date than usual ought to have been forecast The reason for their appearance early perhapB by some unthinking persons was taken In advance as a reason why they should appear late. ."The winter which has Just passed was an extraordinary severe one and it lasted a long time. The mere fact that there was a cold winter would make it appear that icebergs would stay fast until later in the season than usual, and so they did in the far north where they are usually formed. The trouble lay in the fact that the severity of the winter caused the bergs to form much further south than usual and so It was that when the first warm days of spring came the southern icebergs broke loose and floated out into the open long before those which had formed in the usual place were melted from their fastenings. Major Butt 8lnesrely Mourned. No one not a resident of the capital probably can appreciate the deep ense of sorrow felt here when .ew8 came that Maj. Archibald W. Butt, the president's personal aid, was among the passengers lost on the Titanic. President Taft had just seated himself in a box at the theater when the news came that his aid probably was amo&g those who went down with the ship. Ho Instantly left the theater, went to the White House and telegraphed steamship officials in New York for information asking that he be informed hourly day and night as long as there was the slightest hope for the major's safety. The employes of the White House were in a nervous condition which unfitted them for work during the days of uncertainty concerning "Archie's" fate. There was not a newspaper man in Washington who did not like and admire this major of the quartermaster's depart meat. Tho correspondents felt s personal affection for "Archie." as they all called Wm, ignoring his rank, for Butt waB one of the genial, sympathetic men who invite Uking, close comradeship and wholesome respect. At one time he was a newspaper correspondent iu the capital. This was prior to the days of the Spanish war. When war came he received a commission and went to the front and afterward was given a commissioned rank in the quartermaster's department. His birthplace was Georgia. There are hundreds of ctorieu told of Archibald W. Hutt during his stay in Washington. President Roosevelt chose him for a personal aid, and it was expected that when President Taft came In some other officer would succeed him, but Mr. Taft knew the captain and asked him to act in the same capacity during the present administration. Hntt was a part of Washington official and social life for years, and he bore every burden well and conducted himself with infinite tact and judgment. Did Trying Work Well. One of tho major's duties was to introduce at the great public and semipublic receptions and at the dinners and banquets given to and by the president the guests who filed by to shake tbevhand of the chief executive. It may seem that this would be no particularly arduous job, but it iB one of the most trying things which a president's aid has to do. As the Quests approach the president the one who 1» nearest whispers his name to the introducing officer. Names, as everybody knows, are the hardest things in the world to catch properly, and then there are men conceited enough to suppose that their faces ought to be known and that therefore only perfunctory mention of the name is necessary. Major Butt almost Invariably caught the muttered name correctly and transmitted it just as correctly to the president. There never was any trouble with the major's enunciation. The most peculiar foregn names were spoken fluently and clearly, and this thing in itself made Major Butt invaluable, because if the president had made a mistake himself in addressing a hanshaker the guest, as is always the case, would have felt hurt and humiliated. The kindness of Archibald Butt was shown In a thousand ways. There Is a great army and navy reception given at the White House every year. The persons eligible for invitation are ^S.cei^LjolJhje_aj^iiy^-Jia.vy-jin4-ma44fiecorps, both active and retired, and all the National Guard of the District of Columbia. The army and navy lists carry the names of all the officers who have a right to be Invited, but Archie Butt was not satisfied with these lists. He knew that living in Washington were men who had served their country in army and navy as officers, but who cither had resigned from the service or had been mustered out at the close of hostilities. He took it into his hands to look up as many of these officers as he could and to gratify them with the president's approval, of course, with invitations to the army and navy reception. Still Suspicious About Alaska. Congress lias before it a bill to grant home rule to Alaska. It seems to be entirely probable that it will pass the house. It makes provisions for an Alaska legislature, each member of which will be paid $20 a day. This seems tov be a good sum of money for the daily service of a legislator when the ordinary pay of like officials of the various states is considered, but things are high in Alaska and travel is expensive and moreover, if it is not wicked to suggest it, it may be that when a man is well paid he ia above yielding to besetting temptations. Alaska has not had much done for it at this session of congress, notwithstanding the tact that there has been so much suggested in the way of legislation. Just what is to be done in the matter of subsidizing a government railroad In Alaska does not ye*t appear. There are still ail kinds ot conflicting interests at work in the matter of the northwestern territory. Suspicion la still rite and If one makes a move another man says that he is headed straight to the- road of graft and the man accused retorts in kind. Alaska is stil; "the Land t)f Suspicion." Wants Three Cent Piece Coined. Representative H. J. Bulkiey of Ohio, a member of the house committee on banking and currency, has introduced a bill to authorize the coinage of a three cent piece. .Men whose memories cast a shadow twenty years long remember the old three cent piece made out of nickel. It resembled the silver dime so much that ignorant persons constantly were cheated out of seven cents when it was given to them in change by unscrupulous persons. It was the fact that the three cent piece was so much like the sliver dime in general appearance that led to the discontinuance of its coinage. Mr. Bulkiey intendB that nobody shall be deceived by the three cent piece if his bill authorizing its coinage becomes a law. He has inserted in his measure a provision that the coin shall be perforated in the center, the operation making it look like a Chinese piece and obviating any pos. sibility that it can be taken for a silver dime. If the three cent piece is to be coined it will be made of 75 per cent copper and 25 per cent nickel. Uenton Harbor.—Bessie Mills died here as the result of taking carbolic acid with suicidal intent. Bernard Lavelle, her lover, occupies* a cell in the city jail, awaiting the investigation which the coroner and police have begun. The girl, who was twenty years old, told her mother that she had declared Lavalle had forced the promise-from her at the point of a revolver. Houghton.—An infant daughter of John Kaiser of Rockland was burned to death in a fire which destroyed the home. A five-year-old daughter was rescued', but was burned so that death is expected. The two children were alone in the house when the fire Btarted. Pontiac—The second suit against the D. U. R. for damages for personal injuries WHS discontinued in the circuit court after a 35-minute recess in which a settlement was reached. Harmon H. How, administrator of the estate of Rollin E. Lee. was allowed between $7,000 and $8,000 for Lee's death. JLee lived at Oxford and traveled for a Detroit, wholesale house. He was a passenger on a limited car wrecked near Rochester last October and was instantly killed. Mount Clemens.—Finding of bruises on the body of John Greenop, a clothing merchant of Belding, after hia death at Fountain hotel sent the sheriff and coroner to Detroit in search of a negro who arrived with Greenop from Windsor, Ont., and left the following day. Greenop died without telling how he received his injuries. A telephone call inquiring as to the condition of Greenop was received from Detroit shortly before the man died. Allegan.—Justice D. C Wachs of Grand Haven was placed upon the stand in the Ottawa county conspiracy case. His testimony was identical with that of Hoyt's. Bills presented to the supervisors by ex- Sheriff Andre and Deputy Klaver, the defendants, were read in court. In many instances the allegations of the proseriitinn that two hilln wrro pry Defined. "You don't know the difference between an apiary and an aviary." "Indeed 1 do, then!'' "What is It?"

Ann Arbor,—Photographs are being made nightly at the U. of M, observatory of the new star which was discovered a few weeks ago by Enfho, the European astronomer. A study being made of this particular star shows that it is following certain successive conditions like other new stars. It is receding from the stellar stage to the nebular type, being now about the sixth magnitude and barely visible to the naked eye. Port Huron. — Medical testimony was heard in the trial of George Esson, charged with the murder of Thomas Major. It became evident the defense would try to show that Major's death was due to natural causes. Major was state chemist. Detroit.—"In addition to an elaborate proposal for the drainage of thousands of acres of swamp and low lands, fne national drainage congress at its meeting this month will take up the matter of ridding the tracts of mosquitoes," said H. L. Davey. "The success of the government in ridding the Panama canal zone of these pests shows what we can do, and eventually the mosquito will have to find another home than the Mississippi valley." Ionia.—The Ionia _ high school graduates- this year * will go on the economy plan and have decided to wear cap and gown and do away with the usual expensive dresses. AB there are H girls and but two boys, the girls had their own way about adopting the costumes. It will be the first time cap and gown has ever been worn in an Ionia commencement. The color will be gray. Ypsilanti.—Charles A. Smith, saloonkeeper, was arrested on complaint of Clauso» M. Davis at the Instigation of Prosecuting Attorney George J. Burke, charging him with keeping his saloon openr Sunday. Smith demanded an examination which was set for April 25. He gave bail in the sum of $200 for his appearance. Plymouth.—A fanner named Ded: rich, living a few miles from here, is suffering with two fractured ribs and other injuries; Earl Peck is badly bruised and cut, and Arthur Ray, a boy, has a broken left arm as the result of a runaway here. Dedrich was moving Peck's househo\d goods when his team was frightened by the shriek of factory whistles and became unmanageable. The wagon was overturned and the two men and boy were hurled violently to the pavement. Grand Rapids.—Standing beside the deathbed of their little daughter, Dorothy, John and Agnes Vanderveen, recently divorced, plighted their troth" anew. Vanderveen, a prosperous grocer, secured a decree some time ago. He went to a distant part of the city. His only daughter, living with her mother, sank into death's shadow. Friends of the family notified the father. As the silent messenger entered the home, the con* pie embraced over the form of their daughter and began life anew. They will be re wed. Titanic 'Bodies Seen on iceDcrg. Officers of the North German Lloyd liner Princess Irene told of a wireless message which thex.^ifcterT^ejrWd Jp which a ship -the name not learned— reported Thai ia, passing r>0T m^ea from the scene of ^he Titanic disaster, she had eiighte'd an iceberg on which were the bodies of more thau a dozen men. All wore life belts and the bodies were huddled in groups at the base of the berg. It was the opinion of officers of the ship that the men had climbed on the mass «f ice and had frozen to death as they were swept southward. No attempt waH made to take oft the bodies. Find Bodies of Three Noted Victims. The bodies of Col. John Jacob Astor and Isidor Straus, the millionaire merchant of New York, who lost their lives in the Titanic disaster, have been recovered and are on board the cable ship Mackay-Bennett. Cleveland, O., lias set a price of one cent upon the herd of every ten dead Mies delivered at the city hall and the children are reaping a harvest. THE MARKETS.

A prisoner was being tried in an English court for murder; evidence against him purely circumstantial; part of it a hat found near the scene of the crime—an ordinary, round, black hat, but sworn to as the prisoner's. Counsel for the defense, of course, made much of the commonness of the bat. "You, gentlemen, no doubt each of you, possess such a hat, of the most ordinary shape and make. Beware how you condemn a Jellowciealure to a shameful death on such a piece of evidence," and so on, So the man was acquitted. Just as hi? was leaving tbe dock, with the most touching humility and -simplicity, he said: "If you please, my lord, may I •avc my Jat?" In the Chase.

The coffee drinker seldom realizes that coffee contains the drug, caffeine, a severe poison to the heart and nerves, causing many forms of disease, noticeably dyspepsia. "I was a lover of coffee and used it for many years, and did not realize tbe bad effects I was buffering from its use. (Tea is just as Injurious as cof« fee because it, too, contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "At first I was troubled with indigestion. I did not attribute the trouble to the use of coffee, but thought it arose from other causes. With these attacks I had sick headache, nausea and vomiting. Finally rny stomach was in such a condition I could scarcely retain any food. "I consulted a physician; was told all my troubles came from indigestion, but was not informed what caused the indgestlon. I kept on with the coffee, and fiept on with the troubles, too, and my case continued to grow worse from year to year until it developed Into chronic diarrhea, nausea and severe attacks of vomiting. I could keep nothing; on my stomach and became a mere shadow, reduced from 159 to 128 pounds. "A specialist informed me I had a very severe case of catarrh of the stomach, which had got so bad he could do nothing for me, and I became convinced my days were numbered. "Then I chanced to see an article setting forth the good qualities of Postum and explaining how coffee injured people so I concluded to give Postum a. trial. I soon saw the good effects—my headaches were less frequent, nausea and vomiting only t a m e on at long Intervals and I was soon a changed man, feeling much better. < • > "Then I thought I could'stand coffee again, but as soon as I tried it my old troubles returned and I again turned to Postum. Would you believe it, I did thisQithree times befor* I had sense enough to quit coffee for good and keep on with the Postum. I am now a well man with no more headaches, ajck stomach or vomiting, and have already gained back to 147 pounds." Name given by Postum Co., Battla Battle Creek, Mich.

'• Nearly all the new bows are quite unlike the simpler forms of ribbon trimmings which We have had in the past. There is a liking for fanciful forms, and ribbons are made up into ornamental pieces ready for mounting on hat shapes just as feathers and flowers are. They are more generally used than ever, and that is saying much, but designers having taken up the idea of making new and strange ribbon decorations, have found them widely useful, taking the place of other trimmings on many hats. Ribbons also are elaborated in themselves; changeable and two-toned colorings, pin-stripes, wide stripes and checks, and many bordered designs are Bhown. Then there are the flowered ribbons and those that are flowered and bordered. Sometimes a piece will combine a number of these foundation until it is covered. Fans and wings of buckram are covered with ribbon laid on flat at one side and in side plaits to the other. Larger disks Ave inches in diameter are slashed in four places about their circumference, to the depth of three incheB. Hy overlapping the slashed edges and sewing them together a form is made with a raised center. It looks like the top of a large "toadstool." Narrow ribbon is gathered into full ruffles and sewed to such foundations. The finished rosettes look like hugh full blown roses. A large ring of buckram, five Inches across, has a circle two inches or a little more, in diameter cut from the center. A wide ribbon with a border Is laid in side plaits and sewed to the buckram ring. Four loops supported by ribbon wire, which is caught to the under side by stitches, are thrust through the opening at the center and ends of ribbon falling from the back of this ornament are to be used to drape about the crown of a hat. Three shades of the same color (as brown or blue) are used in a pretty standing ornament, and similar ornaments are made of two shades, light and dark. Stiff taffeta ribbon is used for this ornament and does not need to be wired. The ribbon is cut into nine-inch lengths and one end of each length is trimmed into a sharp point. The straight end is laid in plaits and sewed to an oblong foundation of buckram. This buckram piece should be two inches wide and four long. The lightest ends are sewed first, then just below them the next darker shade, and finally the darkest shade. The bottom of the buckram is covered with pieces of the two darker shades shirred in fine tucks very close together. This finishes the decorations. These handsome ribbon ornaments maTce^'sufflcTentrtriimnlmj for-strecthats. Since shapes may be bought ready faced they may be effectively trimmed with ribbon ornaments at home. DAINTY THINGS FOR BEDROOM Simple and Fresh-Looking Accessories Are the Most Appropriate, and Easily Supplied. features, being at the same time changeable in color, having both a flowered and striped ground and edged with a. border. It goes without saying almost that such elaboration in the ribbon precludes the use of any other trimming with it. Rosettes and cockades (that is stiff up-standing designs) lead in popular favor for trimmings, and the two are often combined in one piece. Buckram is used as a foundation in making these new decorations, and fine wire supports loops that must stand up. A disk of buckram three inches in diameter la about the average size used for rosettes. Ribbon is laid in side plaits and sewed in rows to this SEWING HELP OF REAL VALUE "Scrapbag Attached to the Machine ts an Accessory One Cannot Afford ; to Be Without. The woman who uses a sewing machine will do well to make herself a goetVslsed bag, that.-can be attached to £he side frame of the machine and used to collect all scraps and bits of thread left from the sewing. Select an embroidery hoop 8 inches in diameter and cretonne 16 inches long and 14 inches wide. Sew the ends and one side together and turn the edge of the other side over the hoop and run a gathering thread in the hem thus formed. .When finished draw up the thread the size of the i hoop and catch it tight. This will make a bag that is gathered on to the hoop, and is amply full In body to hold a goodly number of scrap* before it is'necessary to empty. Another sewing help is to have a pattern bag hung back of the machine. Make inside pockets to this hag, In which you can keep the patterns belonging to the different members of the family. Have also two extra pocketa that hold patterns of fancy aprons, bags or drew accessories. ' A deal of time and strength can be saved in the hunting of patterns and picking up bits off the floor if your machine la equipped with these two bandy bags. - In Vivid Colors, Hand embroidery done in vivid col* .ors. will be placed upon a white background of faille or moire silk, and then used aa collar- and cuffa -for tailored *dresae#.-~New York Herald! Dainty bedroom accessories in the way of curtains, bedspreads, bureau and dresser scarfs can be easily made at small cost, of striped or checked gingham. Blue-and-white is a clean color to select. For Ihe bedspread use coarse white lace InRertlou about an inch and a halt wide to join the breadths together down the center, and also to place at the heading of a ruffle eight inches wide that is placed on each side and across the bottom of the spread. t The window curtains are made perfectly plain, excepting for a ruffle across the end headed with insertion. A deep valance across the top is edged with a narrow ruffle also. With a blue-and-white cotton rug on the floor this makes a most attractive room for a young girl. Gingham is very inexpensive and launders beautifully. Bread as a Cleanser. Soldiers use a crust of bread often to clean the white stripes of their trousers.

' Recorded Study of FoooVElcrncnts is Best V a y for Housewife to Avoid Errors. Every housekeeper Bhould be perfectly familiar with the three food products. This is the foundation of menu-making. Proteids, carbohydrates and fats are the three divisions into which all foods are classed. Proteids are the muscle-builders and are found in meat, beans, peas, eggs and nuts. Carbohydrates are the starches and are found in cereals, sugar and starchy foods. These foods produce fat and energy. Fats, such as oils, butter, lard, etc., give heat to the body. A general knowledge of these food properties as they are found In various foods underlies successful cooking as well as menu-making. A good menu is a well-balanced menu in regard to these three food principles. A practical study of these foods Is the best way to avoid orrors In diet. Do not serve several foods of the same composition at the same meal, such as potatoes, rice and macaroni. Do not serve bean or pea soup with roast meat, salmon salad and custard. Try to vary the regular diet. If a heavy meal is served use a light, easily digested dessert. Do not eat too much food out of season. It is expensive. If meat is left out of the dinner menu, plan to serve soup made of peas, nuts or beans and a dessert made of eggs. To avoid serving several fcods of the same composition have in mind small gronps of foods alike in composition. The first and most important group to consider is that of proteid food: Group one—meats, cheese, eggs, nuts, dried peas, beans. Any of these foods can be used for meat, or if nuts, beans or peas are used for a puree, meat can safely be left out of the menu. For every meal select food from each of the groups mentioned—proteid, carbohydrates, fats. Add to this some fresh fruit oi vegetable three times daily and a good beginning will be made toward producing a balanced menu.—Woman's World.

They look well on a dinner table and commend themselves because of novelty. The housekeeper of today is always looking for something new. It is her pride and her delight to set an original table and have something that interests her guests as well as the food does. These little casseroles can be served at any meal. It is not necessary to keep them for a dinner entree. Shirred eggs go in them for breakfast and macaroni with cheese for luncheon. Copper Casseroles. Among the novelties for the xabte are tiny mmvlduarccrpW^^ Strong and Straight. thinning. They are from photographs taken by A. F. Hawes, state forester of Connecticut. In Fig. 1 the trees in the center of the group are strong and straight, but the smaller ones form a mass of foliage, the removal of which helped the others. This is shown by the trees in Fig. 2. The trees left standing are now exposed to the lfght and free from the sapping by the mass of foliage and small trees which have been removed and will grow into strong, tall trees.

The "group method" ts generally tho host adopted for farm woodlots. Select a spot, or several spots, if one will not supply what is wanted, where the forest crop is ripest—possibly overripe— and clear, with due care for young growth, a hole in the forest, taking care that the diameter of this hole is not more than two or three times the height of the surrounding trees. Gradually widen these holes by cutting in concentric rings about them until tho whole area has been cut over. It should be borne in mind, however, that if in any one year more wood is A Mass of Foliage. cut than grows on the whole woodlot in that year the necessary wood capital iadlminishecL . Where the whole area Is cut over before the part cut first had time to grow to maturity a period will have to follow during which the woodlot will stop paying dividends.

This will frost two cakes* A successful West Virginia raspberry grower gives the following reasons for mulching: It prevents the growth of weeds. It retains moisture in the soil. It adds humus, one of the necessary elements. It keeps the fruit clean and prevents mud at picking time. It saves labor, the cost of mulching an acre with forest leaves or straw not exceeding $15. It prevents deep freezing. It makes the fruit more solid for cultivation and better for shipping purposes. It prevents the baking of the soil caused by tramping at picking time. It has the disadvantage of encouraging mice and establishing a surface root system. However, we hare not noticed any serious damage from either of these effects. The cost of growing-raspberries by nature's method, as I like to call it, is not very great. Picking la a nice job where there Is no mad, no weeds snd where the canes have' been properly pruned.

Plant the sweet peas early in trenches fully six inches deep, covering but lightly at first, drawing the soil around the plants as they reach up. This will give better roots by which to withstanding the dry heat by and by. Plant as soon as possible. Root room in fair soil is all the beautiful white Day Lily asks. It is perfectly hardy, likes moist situations, but will do with little water. A plant for the busy housewife. Chrysanthemums may be raised from seeds or from cuttings and sprouts from old roots. If the seeds are sown early in boxes and transplanted the plants will bloom the first year. There may be many poor one.s from seed. Do not forget the hardy everhlouming roses when ordering. Includo some hardy ffowering vines for screens for the porches, back fences and summer arbors. Prairie rosea, evergreen honeysuckles, woodbines, clematis in variety, wistarias, bittersweet, trumpet vine and the harmless wood ivies are all fine. ATTENTION FOR YOUNG TREES Ground Should Be Ferked Up and Well Mellowed and T h e n Covered T w o Inches with Manure. Spring-planted fruit and ornamental trees and bushes should1 have the ground forked up and well mellowed and then covered two Inches deep with long manure, straw, corn stalks, rotted leaves, w«eda or freshly cut grass. This mulch will keep the soil cool and moist. It the summer Is hot and dry give to each tree ooe or two buckets of water. Apply the water late In the evening, spread it slowly around the trunk of tree so it can reach the roots. If the water is dashed against the stem most of it will run off the hard ground and it will be of little beneiit to the tree. Garden Cart and Wheelbarrow. On an average fully one-half crt the trees that die the first summer could have been saved had they been properly mulched and given a little water when needed. Young trees planted in exposed positions, where they are liable.to heavy wind and rainstorms, should be staked and tho trees tied to the stakes with a rye straw or canvas band. An old sail cut into strips makes excellent bands. To keep the roots from belnu loosened, where ground is soft, place four or live large stones on top of tho mulch clooe up to the stem of tree. Two of the most handy implements on tho farm for general, all-around work, are the old-fashioned wheelbarrow and throe-wheeled cart. Ready for Young Trees. While the stock is coming, prepare the ground. It will not be necessary to add new soil as the trees have been selected with reference to the kind found where they are to bo planted. Dig very large holes and fill them in. Tho trees always do better in tilled ground than they do in that which has not been broken up. If the land is sod, it would be well to plow tho entire strip, as grass Is a great enemy to newly planted things. When the trees arrive, take them at once to some friable land near whore they are to be planted and heel them in. Nursery stock is often Injured by being kept too long in boxes. After the plants are heeled in it will be safe to transplant them to permanent places any time within a week or ten days from the lime of their arrival. Evergreens ought to be planted as early as possible. When buds begin to swell the time is right to top-graft. Prune sparingly and a little every year, is the best plan. Just as soon now as frost is out, the ground will be ready for tree planting. In that order for fruit trees, you can't go wrong by putting in a few Jonathan apples. The era of the haphazard and careless horticulturist and agriculturist haa passed away. For orchard spraying a three-eighths or half-inch hose is best, and In lengths of GO feet. Soil for strawberries should be a deep, rich loam, capable of holding a good deal of moisture. It Is not. a good plan to plant trees while the ground is wet and soggy. Let It dry out a little. Don't get the idea that you cannot obtain satisfactory results from spraying Just because your neighbor failed. Be sure that all of your hose couplings are of the same size so that any two lengths may be coupled together. Any tendency to fancy.shaped flower beds and fancy flower stands and such grlmcracks should be firmly suppressed. Do not. expect satisfaction from bordeaux mixture that has stood for as much as 24 hours. It deteriorates quickly. JWhjsn done spraying each day, run some clean water through toe pump, to wash oat the spray mixture and srold corroslotf ot the working parts.

Mrs. Bflriic! Hinchey Mary Elizabeth Doane was born in the township of Waterloo, Ingham county, Mich., January 2, 1845, and departed this life, April 26th, 1912, leaving to mourn cheir loss, her children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters and a host of other relatives and friends. At the age of 19, she was married to Burdick Hinchey and to this union were born 11 children, 9 of whom are living: Mrs. Belle Nolan and Mrs. Clarinda Zink of Flint; Mrs. Nellie Reule of Owosso; Mrs. Laura Smith of Dilke, Sascathewan; John, Frank, Orla and Glenn of Pinckney and Percy of Perry, Mich. Two of her children having died: Gladys in 1878 and Harriet in 1898, and her husband following in 1908. Although not a member of any church, she led an exemplary Christian life, a life of patience, fortitude and devotion. Her illness was of short duration and she passed away surrounded by all of her children except Laura whom it was impossible to reach. All that loving hands and tender care could do was of no avail; her work in this life was finished and she went to join her loved ones in Heaven.

Al«o the minister for his words of comfort; and the choir for their singing. Your kindness we can never forget. Children of Mrs. Mary E. Hinchey County Base Ball Leape A move is on foot to organize a county base ball league to be made up of Fowlerville,Brighton, Pinckney, Gregory and Howell. There has never been a time when more base ball enthusiam was manifested than right now. With all the excellent material available, in not only the towns contemplated, but in two or three other communities in this county, it should not be necessary to wait until the Fowlerville fair to spend a week's pay in going down to Detroit in order to see a game of ball and so work off the accumulation of base ball fever. With a six team league it would be possible to play a game in each town once a week; or the schedule could be arranged to provide a game in each of six towns every other week. If the promotors can figure on paying expenses it will be tried out. Other country papers are invited to express themselves on the subject.—Livingston Republican. It seems like a good thing and we have no doubt but that the towns named would give it their hearty support How's This? We offer $100.
