Harvard won from Yale at chess and President Eliot talks of'abolish' 'ing all other sports at Cambridge. A Binghampton preacher thinks he lias solved the riddle of the sphinx. All right, then, how old was Ann? Queen Alexandra, who was born In 1S44, is not only a good hut a brave queen. She atiti celebrates her birthday. According to" Walter Wellman the <bnly way to reach the pole is by balloon. Either that or by way of the magazines. This is the time of year when the rabbit doesn't know whether the morrow's sun win rise upon him as Bunny or Hassenpfeffer. Unfortunately science produces nc evidence tending to show whether Niagara Falls was put on earth for business or pleasure. Sir Thomas Lipton makes a hand some defense of American hotels. But Sir Thomas was a favored guest when he stopped m them. By putting up the earth as a stake for one to win and having the millions of men compete, opportunity would etill be equal, if not reasonable. The Harvard professor of international law who becomes Grand Vizier to the ruler of Siam will develop into a literal power behind the throne. In attempting to shoot a man the other day a New York woman wounded two innocent bystanders—at least, they claimed that they were innocent. In these days of piping prosperity even a poor man lives high, unless he has been quoted a line of produce prices not accessible to the general public. The horse enjoys^ a certain advantage in the fact that the automobile accident is more spectacular and therefore more talked about than the ordinary runaway. A Chicago woman wants a divorce because her husband prefers listening to a phonograph rather than her conversation. Her conversation must be something fierce, remarks the Washington HeraM. The Fort Edwards, N. Y., man who advertise! lor a wife who shall weigh 200 pounds or better, and be no society butterfly, evidently intends that there shall be no mistaking the meaning of his specifications. A magazine asks: "What implement can equal the hairpin in the deft hands of a woman." That's easy. A note, written in a delicate, feminine hand, found in her husband's vest pocket, will beat it every time. A Baltimore newspaper announces that a prize performing flea which escaped from one of the theaters of the city had been captured. Thereby have been removed the apprehensions of those who witnessed its last exhibition. The shah o f W r t u a has just bestowed upon an American piano manufacturer the brilliant decoration of the Order of the Lion and the Sun. Some time ago the sultan of Turkey gave the same gentleman a decoration of similar character. There seems to be no doubt of the power of American piano music to soothe the Mohammedan breast. Owing to considerable distress prevailing in many agricultural districts, writes Consul-General B. H. Kidgely. Df Barcelona, the purchasing power of the Spanish peasants has been greatly curtailed. In former years a large trade was done throughout Spain in bleached linen and'linen yarns. No household, however humble, but Dwned its set of linen sheets, which formed part of the dowry of every peasant girl on her wedding day. On account of the greater cost of linen, which has placed it among the list of luxuries, this once important branch of trade had dwindled down to an insignificant figure. Public opinion in England has killed the soap combination, says the Philalelphia Ledger. Notwithstanding the workings of the "irresistible economic, law of combinatiop" the protests of the trade and of the public have been to positive and so emphatic that the power of $60,000,000 capital was impotent to stand up against them. The refusal of the retailers to "sell and of :he public to buy a product, however meritorious, which bore the "trust taint" was too much for the promoters, and they have announced that, they have found their plan of; economic combination "unworkable l i d that It baa been terminated. SIDE LIGHTS CARL MENDE, DI8HEARTENED BY LIFE'S MISFORTUNES, ENDED ALL. BY SUICIDE AND MURDER Latest Theory of the Saginaw Trag edy—Lansing Man Fired the Houae for Revenge On Hit Wife. Life Was a Failure. The mysterious death by poisoning of Carl Mende and his wife in Saginaw and the serious illness of their son, aged 12, are" now believed to have been the result of a suicide and murder plot on the part of Mende, either due to hereditary insanity or despair over his failure to carve out a successful career- Two months ago, after falling in the Lutheran ministry, he returned to newspaper work, which he had followed early in life, and became editor of the German paper, the Staats Zeitung. His work did not suit the management, lacking adaptation to his duties, and his contract was cancelled two weeks ago. Of aristocratic parentage in Germany, high spirited and sensitive, he was greatly depressed over his failure in life and felt keenly the plight of his family which he could foresee when their savings were exhausted. It is believed while In this frame of mind Mende decided he would end his own life and not leave those he loved best to be buffeted by the world. That there is insanity In his family is shown by the fact that his eldest son is confined la a private insane aeyhun la Wisconsin. Believed to Be Insane. Uoyd Bailey, candymaker, aged 35, confessed to the Lansing police that he set fire to the home of his fatherin- law, W. L. Sharp, in which was sleeping his young wife, who had begun divorce proceedings against him. His attorney believes him insane. By his use of kerosene one of the rear doors became ablaze and the flames were gaining headway inside, when one of the occupants was awakened by smoke and all rushed from the $iouse, summoning neighbors, by whose aid the fire was extinguished. Owing to his previous conduct Bailey was suspected and was arrested. After quarrels with his father-In law and his wife, whom he married when sho was but 15, Bailey one'night threw a beer bott?e through a window of the Sharp home, narrowly missing his wife and their week-old baby. For this act he was sentenced to 90 days in the Detroit house of correction, but his wife secured his release from Gov. Bliss when their baby died. Threw the Baby Out. "The baby waa mine; I threw Jt out the window. I was scared." Lellia Guyette, aged 16, thus ad* dressed the Flint officers when questions were put to her as she lay in her bedroom in the presence of her mother. She tearfully related that her baby was born between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock Sunday morning, and that she was alone in the room at the time, although her mother was asleep in a room adjoining. Her mother disclaims any knowledge of the affair whatever and was grief stricken and durafounded when the girl told her story. Whether the girl-mother will be held criminally responsible for the death of the child will not be known until the doctors who conducted the postmortem make their report. One Succeeded. Two Grand Rapids citizens made up their minds they were tired of life Monday night but only one succeeded In committing suicide. The body of Peter Hoogland was found hanging in a grape arbor. He was about 60 years of age, despondent over the actions of his son-in-law. who whipped, him one day last week, it is alleged. Neighbors hint at foul play, but so far the police have found nothing to back their opinions. Mrs. Anna Woodman swallowed morphine and carbolic acid in a fit of jealousy. A neighbor, who came in. found some eggs and milk, which she kept giving the patient until doctors arrived. She was terribly burned by the acid and for two hours lay in a stupor from the morphine. She wll' probably recover. May Be a Fake. The "shooting affray" at the Watervliet depot, where Fred Bllnkhorn Is said to have been narrowly miased by a bullet through the wijndow, is said to have been a fake by the officers who have investigated It. They say that the course taken by the buHet was impossible if fired, as Is claimed by Blinkhorn, and the apparent unconcern of the operator, who is working in his old position, reading novels in his leisure time, the officers say, makes the fact certain in thai' minds. Killed by Runaway. Herbert Swann, aged 55, was thrown from his wagon in a runaway Monday evening and sustained injuries from which he died next day. He had been to Dlmondale, where he had drank heavily and when he mounted his wagon sea< the horses were fractious from standing in the cold. They ran most of the way, three miles, home and Swann was thrown out only $0 rods before they stopped. He was wellto- do and leaves a wldpw and five children. Revives in Morgue, Then Dies. Given up for dead and taken from a Grand Rapids & Indiana train as a corpse, Kenneth Frederickson, of Peioskey, was laid out in a Grand Rapids morgue ready to be placed in a casket. After lying there half an hour he suddenly came to life. It was only a temporary rally, and he'died shortly after in spite of medical assistance. The body was sent to Petoskey. He left home several months ago j and went to Colorado for his health, I a victim of tuberculosis, and he rapid- j ly failed. He sent to Petoskey Odd Fellows, telling them he wanted to '• come home to die. E. C. Labadie was! sent to bring him home. On the train | near Grand Rapids he apparently died, and the train was met by an undertaker's wagon. Fir"* o..a Working. '"An attempt to DUrn life..temporary high school building in Port Huron was made Tuesday. Prof. Mann no- j ticed smoke coming through the floor of his room. In the basement was found a blazing pile of rubbish, indi eating that the fire was of incendiary origin. The wires connecting the electric bells in the building were found cut. adding further to the suspicion that a determined effort was made to , destroy the building. It is now believed that the fire which destroyed the' old high, school building was of incendiary origin, although it was thought to be accidental at the time. There have been a number of minor fires of mysterious origin and they are now all believed to have been started by the same party. Died On the T r a i n . Death won in the race with M. J. Burke, an implement dealer of Port Huron, who tried hard to reach his home in a quick trip from Arizona. He died in a Pullman car, 40 miles from the city. Mr. Burke, who was only 30 years of age, went west last June to seek relief from tuberculosis. With his brother, Edwin, he camped out in Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. Recently he was told at Phoenix, Ariz., that the end was near, and he started home. Peter's Good Shoe. Peter Lankhuizin, in this country only a few months, used one of his old country wooden shoes to good advantage Saturday night. Peter lives in the outskirts of Holland and was returning home when he was stopped by two men, who demanded money. Peter grubbed off his wooden shoe and rapped one of the would-be highwaymen on the head. The fellow gave a yell and fell like a log and his partner ran away. The Hollander thought he had killed the man and went to get help. When he returned the robber had disappeared. Lake Vessels Made Money. Never before was so much money paid for carrying freight in lake vessels as during the season just closed. A rough estimate is $61,000,000 for coal, iron ore, grain and lumber. The share of this vast sum which found its way into the profit account of vessels was perhaps the largest in the history of the lakes. One of the ships showed a profit of 35 per cent on the insurance valuation. The despised old wooden steamers, which vesselmen thought three years ago were no longer of any value, have since paid in profits what they could have been sold for, and iheir owners have them yet. Several hundred letters, dated between November, 20 and November 22, were found torn open under a lumber pile near the Ann Arbor :*lepot in Cadillac. Powerful New Rifles. There are to be 100 of the new Springfield rifles, which the government ordnance department claims are the finest and most powerful in the world, Issued to the Michigan national guard, and two of them will be sent to each infantry company for use for target shooting. Later the rifles are to be secured for the entire brigade. This is the announcement of Col. W. G. Rogers, assistant quarter-mastergeneral, who returned yesterday from a trip to Washington and other eastern points. A Physical Wreck. Jacob L. Hisey, former treasurer and general manager of the Muskegon Milling Co.. was taken to Hackley hoBpital today a physical wreck and Is in a dangerous condition. Doctors are with him constantly. His sickness was brought on by constant worry over the company's affairs and the charge against him of obtaining money under false pretenses. J. A. Tuttle, of Menominee, hale and hearty at 82, has celebrated his second silver wedding. He has lived 25 years with each of two wives. His first, May Hodges, died in 1880, and In 1881 Mr. Tuttle married Marietta Glarkv Deaths in Michigan during November numbered 2,864, a decrease of 610 as compared with October. Pneumonia led the list of important causes of death, with 246. There were 3,629 births during the month.

THE LEGISLATURE. CAN DOCK CONGRESSMEN Old Law Dug Up W h i c h Cuts Pay of Absentees—May Sell Ziort City. Gov. Higgins, pf New York, commuted to imprisonment for life the sentence of death under which Albert T. Patrick has remained for nearly five years, since his conviction of the mufder of William MarBh Rice, the aged Texas millionaire, in New York city. In announcing the decision Gov. Higgins said: "It is not claimed that Patrick committed the murder in person, but that he procured the act to be done. He has been convicted principally upon the testimony of Charles F. Jones, who confessed that he murdered his master while he lay asleep, instigated thereto by Patrick, and Jones by this test! mony has purchased his own Immunity from trial or punishment. Three of the seven judges of the court of appeals were so strongly of the opinion that errors were committed at the trial that I feel that the death penalty ought not, under all the circumstances, to be Inflicted." Resolutions asserting belief in the innocence of Albert T. Patrick were adopted by the Medico-Legal society at its annual dinner in New York. The resolutions were based on a report by a special committee of experiments made in the use of embalming.fluids. The society calls upon Gov. Higgins to pardon Patrick. Docks Congressmen. Rep. Wesley Gaines, of Tennessee, who has been baoking the movement for an increase in the salaries of congressmen, recently introduced a bill providing that each member of congress be docked $13.70 for every day he is abaant without leave. It was discovered there is already a law, enacted in 1856, covering this point, which had never been enforced. Yesterday when the house was called to order less than 50 members were in their seats. Should all those absent without leave be docked $13.70, according to the law, the government would save about $4,192.20 on yesterday's expenses of running the government. Only SO' members had leave of absence*? ' Representative Lacey, of Iowa, took a pronounced position in opposition to the adjournment of congress for the Christmas holidays, declaring that "it is idiotic for the house to adjourn and then Jam art legislation through under whip and spur during the closing days." May Sell Zlon City. At a meeting of creditors of the Zion City estate in Zlon Tabernacle, Chicago, Receiver John C. Hately announced that conditions have reached a point demanding that Immediate arrangements be made for selling the entire property. Many of the creditors, he said, are in absolute i>overty as the result of having invested their all In "the kingdom." Others are approaching financial ruin. The creditors will vote oh the question of selling the property. To Order 5,000 Cars. The purchasing agent of the Pennsylvania railroad has invited bids for the construction of 5,000 box cars at an estimated cost of $6,000,000.

(Copyright, 1M8, b / Lothrop Publiiiin* ~»* * CHAPTER V.—Continued. When they were all on with their meager belongings, he called again to the man in the wagon. "Brother Keaton, my . father went across, did he?" Several of the men on shore answered him- "Yes;' — "Old white-whiskered death's-head went over the river"— "Over here'r—"A sassy old codger he was"—"He got his needings, too"— "Got his needings—" They cast off the line and the oars began to dip. The confusion of landing and the preparations for an immediate start drove for the time all other thoughts from his mind. It had been determined to get the little band at once out of the marshy spot where the camp had been made. The teams were soon hitched, the wagons loaded, and the train ready to move. He surveyed it, a hundred poor wagons, many of them without cover, loaded to the full with such nondescript belongings as a house-dwelling people, suddenly put out on the open road, would hurriedly snatch as they fled- And the people made his heart ache, even to the deadening of his own sorrow, as he noted their wobegdneness. For these were the sick, the infirm, the poor, the inefficient, who had been unable for one reason or another to migrate with the main body of the Saints earlier in the season. Many of them were now racked by^ fever from.sleeping on the damp ground. These bade fair not to outlast some of the lumbering carts that threatened at every rough spot to jolt apart. Yet the line bravely formed to the order to Seth Wright as captain, and the march began. Looking back, he saw peaceful Nauvoo, its houses and gardens, softened by the cloudy sky and the autumn haze, clustering under the shelter of their temple spire— their temple and their houses, of which they were riow despoiled by a mob's fury. Ahead he saw the road to the wrest, a hard road, as he knew— one he could not hope they should cross without leaving more graves by the way; but Zion was at the end. "Only a short march to-day, brothers. Our camp is at Sugar Creek, nine miles—so take your time this first day." Near the head of the train were his own two wagons, and beside the first walked Seth Wright and Keaton, in low, earnest converse. As he came up to them the bishop spoke. "I got Wes* and Alec Gregg to drive awhile so we could stretch our legs." But then came a quick change of tone, as they halted by the road. "Joel, there's no use beatin* about the bush—them devils at the ferry jest now drowned your pa." He went cold all over. Keaton, looking sympathetic but frightened, •poke next. "You ought to thank me, Brother Rae, for not telling you on the other side, when you asked me. I know better. Because, why? Because I knew you'd fly off the handle and get yourself killed,, and then your ma'd be left all alone, that's why, now—and prob'ly they'd 'a' wound up by dumping the whole passle of us bag and baggage Into the stream. And it wa'n't any use, your father bein' dead and gone." The Bishop took up the burden, •Japping him cordially on the back. ••^ome, come—hearten up, 4 now! Youivpa's been made a martyr—he's beautified his inheritance in Zion— whlnin' won't do no good." He drew himself up with a shrug, as tt to th/ow off an invisible burden, and answered, calmly: 'Tin .not whining, Bishop. Perhaps ?o« kw§re right not to tell me over ^ Uon. I'd have made trouble •••frWi all." He smiled painfully in rt to control himself. CHAPTER V I . Tift Lute of the Holy Ghost 1« Further Chastened. I n a craze of rage and grief he turned toward the river, when he heard the sharp voice of the Bishop calH»g him hack. "It ain't anf use, Joel." " ,>> "Couldn't we find his bodyt" "Not a chance la a thmuwti* . It was carried down by the current. It would meat} days and mebbe weeks. Besides, we need ypu here. Here's your ,duty. Sakes aUvef If wo only had about 20 minutes with them cusses like it was in the ol 1 days! When you're ready to be a Sou of Dan you'll know what I mean. But never mind, well see the day yet when Israel will be the head and not the tail." "My mother? Has any one told her?" "Wai, now, I'm right sorry about that, but it got out before you come over. Tarlton McKenny's boy, Nephi, rowed over in a skiff and brought the news, and some of the women went and tattled it to your ma. I guess it upset her considerable. You go up and see her." He ran forward toward the head of the train, hearing as he went words of sympathy hurried to him by those ha passed. Mounting the wagon, he clinnbed over the seat to where his mother lay. She seemed to sleep In spite of the Jolting. The driver called back to him: "She took on terrible" for a spell, Brother Rae. She's only jest now got herself pacified." He put his hand on her forehead and found it burning. She stirred and moaned and muttered disjointed sentences. He, heard his father's name, his sister's, and his own, and he knew she was delirious. He eased her bed as well as he could, and made a place for himself beside her where he could sit and take one of the pale, thin hands between his own and try to endow her with some of his abunto bring that apothecary with him." The two came up briskly a few moments later, and he stood aside for them in an agony of suspense. The Bishop turned toward him after a long look into the wagon. "She's gone to be with your pa, Joel. You can't do anything—only remember they're both happy now for bein' together." It made little stir in the busy encampment. There had been other deaths while they lay out on the marshy river flats. Others of the sorry band were now sick unto death, and many more would die on the long march across the Iowa prairie, dropping out one by one of fever, starvation, exposure. He stood helpless in this chaos of woe, shut up within himself, knowing not where to turn. Some women came presently from the other wagon to prepare the body for burial. He watched them dumbly, from a maze of incredulity, feeling >*fcat srm? wretched pretense was being acted before ia'.vL. The Bishop and Keaton came up. They brought with them the makeshift coffin. They had cut a log, split it, and stripped off its bark in two half-cylinders. They led him to the other side of the wagon, out of [sight. Then they placed the strips of bark around the body, bound them with hickory withes, and over the rough surface the women made a little show of black cloth. For the burial they could do no more than consign the body to one of the waves in the great billowy land sea about them. They had no tombstone, nor were there even rocks lo "Let ihe Wrath of God Abide Upon 'Em.'* dant life. He stayed by her until their camping place was reached. Once for a moment she opened her eyes with what seemed to him a more than normal clearness and understanding and* memory in them. Though she looked at him long without speaking, she seemed to say all there was to say, so that the brief span was full of anguish for him. He sighed with relief when the consciousness faded again from her look, and she fell to babbling ouce more of some long gone day In her girlhood. When the wagon halted he was called outside by the driver, who wished instructions regarding the camp to be made. A few moments later he was back, and raised the side of the wagon cover to let in the light. The look on her face alarmed him. It seemed to tell unmistakably that the great change was near. Already she looked moribund. An irregular gasping for breath, an occasional delirious mutter;„ were the only signs of life. She was too weak to show restlessness. Her pinched and faded face was covered with tiny cold beads. The pupils of her eyes wero strangely dilated, and the eyes themselves were glazed. There was no pulse at her wrist, and from her heart only the faintest beating could be heard. In quick terror he called to a boy working at a wagon near by. "Go for Bishop Wright and tell him make a simple cairn. He saw them bury her, and thought there was little to choose between hers and the grave of his father, whose body was being now carried noiselessly down in the bed of the river. The general locality would be kept by landmarks, by the bearing of valley bends, headlands, or the fork and angles of constant streams. But the spot itself would in a few weeks be lost. When the last office had been performed,' the prayer said, a ps,alm sung, and the black dirt thrown in, they waited by him in sympathy. His feeling was that they had done a monstrous thing; that the mother he had known was somewhere alive and well. He stood a moment so. watching the sun sink below the far rim of the prairie while the white moon swung into sight in the east. Then the Bishop led him gently by the arm to his own camp. , ' There cheer abounded. They had a huge camp fire tended by the Bishop's numerous children. Near by was a smaller fire over which the good man's four wives, able-bodied, glowing and covdlah cooked the supper. In little ways they sought to lighten his sorrow or to put his mind away from it. He talked long with the Bishop when the women had. climbed into their wagon for. the night. He amazed that good man by asking him it the Lord would not he pleased to have them, now, as they were, go hack to Nauvoo and descend upon the Gentiles to smilje them. The Bishop counselled him to have patience. "What could we do now with these few old fusees and cheap arms that we managed to smuggle across—to say nothing of half of us being down sick?" "But we are Israel, and surely Israel's God—" "The Lord had his chance the other day if he'd wanted it, when they took the town. No, Joel, he means us to gether out and become strong enough to beat 'em in our own might. But you wait;, our day wil come, and all the more credit to us then for doin' It ourselves. Then we'll consecrate the herds and flocks of the Gentile and his store and basket, his gold and silver, and his myrrh and frankincense. But for the present—well, we got to be politic and kind of modest about such doin's. The big Fan, the Sons of Dan, done good work in Missouri and better in Nauvoo, and it'll do still better where we're goln'. But we must be patient. Only next time we'll get to work quicker. If the Gentiles had been seen to quicker in Nauvoo, Joseph would be with us now. We learned our lesson there. Now the Lord has unfurled a Standard of Zion for the gathering of Israel, and this time we'll fix the Gentiles early." "Amen! Brother Seth." A look of deep hatred had clouded the older man's face as he spoke. He continued: "Let the wrath of God abide upon 'em, and remember that we'e bein' tried and proved for a purpose. And we got to be more practical. You been too theoretical yourself and too high-flyin' in your notions. The kingdom ain't to be set up on earth by faith alone. The Lord has got to have works, like I told you b.baiit the other day." "You were right, Bishop, I need to be more practical. The olive branch and not the sword would Ephraim extend to Japheth, but if—" "If Japheth don't toe the mark the Lord's will must be worked . upon him!" "So be it, Brother Seth! I am ready now to be a Son of Dan." The Bishop rose from in front of their fire and looked about. No one was near. Here and there a fire blazed, and the embers of many more could be seen dying out in the distance. The nearest camp was that of the fever-stricken man who had fled on to the boat that morning with his child in his arms. They could see his shaven head in the firelight, and a woman hovering over him as he lay on the ground with a tattered quilt fixed over him in lieu of a tent. From another group came Ihe strains of an accordion and the chorus of a hymn. "That's right," said the Bishop. "I knew you'd come to it. I saw, that long ago. Brother Brigham saw it, too. We knew you could be relied on. You want the oath, do'you?" "Yes, yes, Brother Seth. I was ready for it this morning when they told me about father." "Hold up you£ right hand and repeat after me: " 'In the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, I do covenant and agree to support the first Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in all things right or wrong; I will faithfully guard them and report to them the acts of all men as far as in my power lies; I will assist in executing all the decrees of the first President, Patriarch, or President of the Twelve, and I will cause all who speak evil of the Presidency or Heads of the Church to die the death of dissenters or apostates, unless they speedily confess and repent, for pestilence, persecution, and death shall follow the enemies of Zion. I will be a swift herald of salvation and messenger of peace to the Saints/ and" I will never make known the secret! purposes of this Society called the Sons of Dan, my life being the forfeiture in a fire of burning tar and brimstone. So help me God and keep me steadfast.'" * He repeated the words without hesitation, with fervor in his voice, and the light of a holy and implacable zeal in his face. "Now I'll give you the blessing, too. Wait till I get my bottle of oil." He stepped to the nearest wagon, felt under the cover and came back with a small bottle in his hand. ''Stand jest here—so—now!" They stood at the edge of the wav« ering firelight, and he put his hand on the other's head. " 'In the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and by the authority of the Holy Priesthood, the first President, Patriarch, and High Priest of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, representing the first, second and third Gods in Heaven, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I do now anoint you with holy consecrated oil, and by the Imposition of my hands do ordain and set you apart for the holy calling whereunto you are called; that you may consecrate the riches of the Gentiles to the House of Israel, bring swift destruction upon apostate sinners, and execute the decrees of Heaven without fear of what man can do with you. So mote it be. Amen/ "There, boy, if I ain't mistaken, that's the best work for Zion that I done for some time. Now be off to your rest!" "Good night, Bishop, and thank you for being kind to me! The Church Poet called me the Lute of the.Holy Ghost, but I feel J;o-night that I must be another Lion of the Lord. Good night!" CHAPTER VII. Some Inner Mysteries Are Expounded. The hosts of Israel had been forced to tarry for the winter on the banks of the Missouri. A few were on the east side at Council Bluffs on the land of the Pottawattamie Indians. Across the river on the land of the Omahaa the greater part of the force hid settled at what was known as Winter Quarters. Here in huts of logs, turf, and other primitive materials, their town had been laid out with streets and byways, a large council-house, a mill, a stockade, and blockhouses. The Indians had received them with great friendliness, feeling with them a common cause of grievance, since the heaAy hand of the Gentile had pushed them also to this bleak frontier. To this settlement early in November came the last train from Nauvoo,, its members wearied and wasted by the long march, but staunch in their faith and with hope undimmed. If was told in after years how there had leaped from the van of this train a very earnest young man, who had at once sought an audience with Brigham | Young and certain other members of j the Twelve who had chanced to be 1 present at the train's arrival; and i how, being closeted with these, he had eagerly inquired if it might not be the will of the Lord that they should go no farther into the wilderness, but stand their ground and give battle to the Gentiles forthwith. He made the proposal as one who had a - flawless faith that the God of Battles would be with them, and he appeared to believe that something might be ! done that very day to force the mat- | ter to an issue. When he had made j his proposal, he waited in a modest I attitude to hear their views of it. To j his chagrin, all but two of those who , had listened laughed. One of these ! two, Bishop Snow—a man of holy aspect whom the Church Poet had felicltiously entitled the Entablature of Truth—had looked at him searchingly, then put his hand upon his own head and shaken it hopelessly to the others.

Suzanne trailed her fingers idly over the piano keys in a little impromptu prelude of troublous chords before she answered the query. : "I suppose it is," she said, crossly, "I'm sure I can't tell whether it's real antique or not. It looks old and dusty and is all covered with heavy carving, if you mean that sort of thing. Why, «e*?." she turned to the questioner •with sudden energy, "I wouldn't have thought a thing about it if he had shown it to me or even mentioned it. •He told me about everything else in the house, and I'd never have known a ! (thing about this if I hadn't told Nora I tp clean out that 'catch all,' as she j •calls it. at the turn of the garret stairs. *There is a large windowless space over the dining-room wing, and it was in there." "And locked," concluded Bess, positively. "Every drawer. I asked Nora how Jong it had been there, and she said it had come with Rob's trunks from home, while we were on our honeyandbn. I'm not a bit curious—" She paused. "Of course not," assented Bess warmly, "or suspicious." J'Only interested." Bess nodded her head wisely over "the interested sigh. "It is kind of mysterious, Bob's not [telling yott a word about it, and hiding it in thene out of sight, and then the It Was Bob. fact of it being locked shows that .someone didn't want it opened." As she gave her conclusive point of logic Bess r.rose. She was pretty and ipetite, with a decisive tilt to her chin, and the confidence of IS in her blue -eyes. "Of course, you'll do as you please, Sue. You always did. But if I had only been married a month and-had found a locked desk in my hou^Pthat I knew nothing of, I know what I'd do." Young Mrs. Sheldon left the piano with an impatient movement. She was tall and slender beside her sister, fcnd the indefinable charm of a bride was visible in her dainty negligee toilette of white crepon. "I believe absolutely in Bob," she declared. Bess raised her eyebrows and smiled mischievously. "Of course you do. It may be only some old love letters or souvenirs that he doesn't care to part with. Do you remember Adelaide Gifford?" "That was two years ago." Bess laughed. "Good-by, sis. Believe in Bob all you want to. He is a dear, and if it were l, I'd hunt a locksmith, all the same." Mr3. Sheldon stood at the .window and watched the small girlish figure as it vanished down the street among the fluttering snowflakes. It was dusk. The room was unlighted as yet, and a sudden sense of loneliness stole over her in the semi-gloom, the first she had experienced since the joyous wedding of a month ago. If the affinity of moods and colors were true, she was ,n harmony with the soft velvet gray of the twilight tone that was stealing aver the world. New Year's eve, and Bob away. The tears blinded her eyes. Of course, it was business, merely a flying trip to N'ew York for the firm, made all the more imperative by his neglect of business during the honeymoon, but she Telt a vague rebellion 1¾ her heart against even the aeparit'on of a few days. And there .was the locked desk. Bess* words and arguments ran cwiftly through her mind. Come t ? think, Bob had told her not to tire herself by rummaging while ho was away. Rummaging! That meant hunting In the garret and running the risk of discovering the desk. And Bess had spoken of Adelaide Gifford. There had been talk of a summer engagement, she remembered. Adelaide was older than Bob. Some way she had always blamed her for the romance, and had looked upon Bob as An Impressionable youngster. But if he had cherished her letters aud keepsakes, then he must have loved her. Adelaide was engaged to old Mr. Thurston now—Copper Thurston, the boys called him. Perhaps, after all, Bob had been jealous of the coppermade millions, and had married her in a fit of pique. She turned from the window with sudden determination. It lacked half an hour of dinner time. A lonely dinner for a bride, she thought, as she wont upstairs, her first New Year's eve. Perhaps by the time the midnight bells rang out she might be rifaking a few strange resolutions for the coming year. It was dark on the garret stairs. She stopped at the door of Bob's dressing- room and took a candlestick from the mantel. It was a wedding .gift—a Japanese bronze griffin, with outspread wings and spiral, sinuous tail. As she held it to the gas jet to light the candle something fell on the rug at her feet and she picked it up. It was a small, old-fashioned ordinary brass key. She looked at it hesitatingly. It had never been on Bob's ring, she knew. The space between the wings of the bronze griffin was a clever idea of concealment. She set her lips closely and went up the garret stairs with candlestick in one hand and the key in the other. Half way there was a turn at a small landing, and it was at the angle made by this that she had found the little low door leading to the "catch all." She opened it now and entered, half closing the door after her. . The desk was pushed to one side with some trunks and aboxes. It was a quaint, antique affair of mahogany, severely colonial in style. The main body was crescent-shaped, supported on hand-carved legs. There were four drawers, two on each side, and a small, low cabinet of pigeon-holes on top. Suzanne stood motionless before it fpr several minutes, trying to make up her mind to insert the key. When she did so, in the lock of the nearest top drawer, her hand trembled slightly and she held her breath. The key turned easily and the draw was ready for inspection, but she did not open it. Thoughts whirled like the fluttering snowflakes through her mind, and she stood again irresolute. She had told Bess that she believed absolutely in Bob. Higher than her love for him had been her unfaltering belief and confidence in him. It was the very keystone of her marriage faith, and yet, at the first blow of suspicion, it gave way. Bess was a child, with the impulsive judgment of a child. She had been wrong to even tell ner of the desk, wrong to discuss Bob or his motives with her at all, or to listen for an instant to any doubt of him, even in jest. She must have faith, and wait. He had probably locked the desk against the curiosity of the servants and had forgotten it in the hurry and excitement of the wedding. She must believe in him. The mere fact that they were married did not give her a coroner's right to hold a post-mortem over his dead past. There was the sound of a footstep on the stairs, and she relocked the drawer quickly. "I'll be down in a moment, Nora," she called. "You may serve dinner." The voice that answered was familiar and masculine. She nearly let the candle fall in her surprised recognition of it. "It's only I, Sue. What on earth a r t you doing In there?" She stood mute and motionless as he bent his head and entered the low door. It was Bob, and he was smiling and happy, his clear eyes seeking for the glad welcome he expected. "I only ran down for to-night," he added. "I couldn't let you face the first New Year alone, sweetheart." His arms reached for her, but she shook her head and handed him the key. "I haven't used it," she said, brokenly. "But, oh, Bob, I came so near it. You don't have to tell me what's in the old thing. I'll believe in you just the same, and I don't want to know." "Know what?" he demanded. "Don't cry, Sue." He drew her to him tenderly. "What's up, anyhow?" "That desk," she sobbed. "It's locked." "Is it?" He stared at the desk in bewilderment. "Well, the key was on my mantel, dear. You found it all right, didn't you? Couldn't you unlock it?" "I could, but—but I don't want to know your private affairs." She tried to draw herself away, but he took her hands and held them from her tearwet face so that he could see her eyes. "Sue, darling," he said. "You blessed little Mrs. Bluebeard, that desk is a wedding present to you from Grandmother. Hadleigh. It's been in the family since the year one, I guess, and there isn't a single thing in those drawers. It came the last minute the day we were married, and was so heavy aud unwieldy I told father to send it along with my things and have it put away somewhere until we came heme. And I laid the key in the griffin for safe-keeping. What did you think was in it?" But Suzanne silenced further questioning in her own effectual way. The keystone of her happiness was firm and immovable. But as they went downstairs to dinner she registered one New Year's vow in her heart. In the future she would let love laugh at locksmiths. fle hAtteni to repentance who ha»Uly judges.—Publtut Syrua. TO cvam A COLD i* owa S A T Take LAXATIVE BUOMOQuloioaTablaU.

Greeting The late Edward Atkinson used to tell the following story at his own expense: In his boyhood he was one of a number of boys who used to play ball on the Boston common, which was then against the law. At regular intervals old Erastus Clapp. the constable, would bear down upon the trespassers and put them to flight. The boys used to have great fun with this rather choleric old man—Disastrous Clapp the boys dubbed him. One day after Mr. Atkinson had grown up into a prosperous and respected business man, while passing along a Boston street in company with a friend, be recognized In a bent and wizened old man the likeness of his old acquaintance, Constable Clapp. Mr. Atkinson immediately addressed the old fellow. "Don't you remember me, Mr. Clapp?" he asked. The old man leaned on his stick and surveyed Mr. Atkinson coldly. "Naw," he finally answered, and started to hobble on. "Why, I'm Eddie'Atkinson, whom you used to chase off the common years ago." Clapp glared at him suspiciously, and finally put an end to the interview, much to the amusement of Mr. Atkinson's friend, by saying sharply: "Well, sir, no honest boy evej had cause to run from me." Luxury for Young Aristocrat. The duke of Bedford has presented Ix>rd Tavistock, his eldest son, with a silver-mounted motor car for his use while at Oxford university. Come to Congressman's Idea. Some years ago Lemuel Ely Qulgg, than a congressman, expressed the opinion that the police commissioner of New Yorl: city should be "an intelligent despot." The idea was ridiculed then, but - Mr. Quigg derives some satisfaction from the knowledge that the grand jury of New York county has made a recommendation approaching somewhat closely to his view. The commissioner, says the jury, should hold office for at least ten years and should be removable only upon proof of charges which he has had opportunity to meet. The Sunny South. Now when all outdoor farm work has ceased in the north, the term "sunny south" and all that it means, appeals with full force to the northern farmer as he realizes that with him it is a case of remaining indoors for the next several months consuming everything that has been produced during the growing season. In the "sunny south" something can be raised every month- in the year, and practically every day can be spent out doors. No blizzards. No sunstrokes. Cattle-raising is very profitable. Large profits are made with little labor in growing fruits, vegetables, etc., for northern markets. Strawberries and cantaloupes are great revenue getters. Water unsurpassed. Work plentiful. Lands cheap and productive. For reliable information, address G. A. Park. General Immigration and Industrial Agent, Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company, Louisville, Ky. Claim Nearly Cost Life. Fred McNulty, of this city, had a terrible experience while holding down a claim which he has several miles east of here. He went to the claim just before the big blizzard of last week. The weather previously had been mild, and McNulty had no store of fuel in the shack. The storm was so fierce that he could not make his way home, so he went to bed in order to keep from freezing, to death. For three days the storm raged, and Mc- Nulty lay covered up to his ears, without a bite to eat and only a small quantity of water. When at last the storm subsided he made his way to a neighbor's, a mile distant, freezing his face and ears while en route. When he finally reached Minot he was compelled to take to his bed as a result of his experience.—Miuo't Correspondence Duluth Herald. DISFIGURING SKIN HUMOR. Impossible to Get Employment, as Face and Body Were Covered with Sores—Cured by Cuticura. Give Her a Diary. A good Christmas present for a young wife is a nice diary. She will write in it every day for two weeks. Then such things as these will begin to crop out on its fair white pages: Recipe for waffles. Must get two yards ruching. Paid 12 cents to have teakettle mended. Don't forget lining for kimono. Sold old pair John's pants to ragman for 22 cents.

"Since the year 1894 I have been troubled with a very bad case of eczema which I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to cure, and I went to the hospital, but they failed to cure me, and it was getting worse all the time. Five weeks ago my wife bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap, and I am pleased to say that I am now completely cured and well. It was impossible for me to get employment, as my face, head and body were covered with It. Th6 eczema first appeared on the top of my head, and it had worked all the way around down the back of my neck and around to my throat, down my body and around the hips. It itched so I would be obliged to scratch it, and the flesh was raw. I am r now all well, and I will be pleased to recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all persons who wish a speedy and permanent cure of skin diseases." Thomas M. Rossiter, 290 Prospect Street, East Orange, N. J., Mar. 30, 1905. Bull Was Up to Date. "Good gracious," said the woman chauffeur, "that bull seems awfully angry, doesn't he?" • "It's your red automobile, ma'am," explained the farmer. She flushed and bit her lip. "1 know it is an old-fashioned 1904 model," she murmured, "but who'd have thought a stupid old country bull would notice that?" A Great Outside Remedy. Most pains are of local origin—a "crick" in the back, a twinge of rheumatism, a soreness all over arising from a cold—are all cured by outside applications. The quickest, safest and most certain method is Allcock's Plaster, known the world over as a universal remedy for pain. They never fail, they act promptly, they are clean and cheap.

The letter carrier expects everybody on his route to take things as they come. The American Adder. A full-grown adder may measure two feet in length and about sixjnehes around the thickest part of its body. Its movements are sluggish, and of course the universal Idea prevailing among the natives of this country that it is capable of transferring its head from one extremity to the other once every six months is due dimply to superstition. The fact is that the tail of this snake does not terminate in a point as with ophidians generally, but is stumpy and resembles the head so much that it is difficult for an observer situated at a distance of a few yards to distinguish the one from the other, hence the story of its being twoheaded, the fallacy of which no intelligent observer could fall to detect.— The Pioneer.

Consequently at this season the priests and people kept a sleepless vigil at the river's shore, watching for the miraculous rise which- should bring such riches to the whole land. When the "night of the drop" came, the priests cleared the altars of old ashes and lighted the sacred fires for the new year. Every one of the faithful carried a coal from the altar to light the fire at his own hearth, and from end to end the land was ablaze with light. The people put off their old garments and arrayed themselves in white, anointing their heads with sacred oil, crowning themselves with flowers and bearing palms in their hands, while chants and Bongs and fasting and processions filled the homes. Once is used to be very popular to give New Year's presents; but now so much more attention is paid to Christmas, and «very one receives so many lovely things then, that our American boys and girls cannot complain if they do not get presents a week later, as did their mothers and fathers. However, if they lived In France, New Year's day would be a great occasion, especially for girls, for there every man or boy gives some gift, no matter how small, to his friends. No one paying a call would think of going empty-handed, and little French girls at Bchool on the 2d of January count up how many presents they received, just as our girls do after Valentine's d a y . v '<• ''"'• * • •• • '> •'*•"'"> A favorite gtft Is candy.

No Changes Needed in the Brown Family* Proposed Resolutions Brought Emphatic Objections from Both Sides of House. "This is the new year," said Mrs. Brown, as she and Brown'sat down to dinner, "and perhaps we ought to make 'some little changes for 1907." "I am willing," he replied. "Yes, I have been thinking that I would make a few changes." "That is nice of you. You know that you swear and that I don't like It at all. It will be so sweet and kind and considerate to give it up for my sake." "Give up swearing! Not on your life!" "What, then, did you mean by change?" "Why, I have been allowing you five dollars per week as pm money, and I know that you simply fool most of it away. One of the'changes contemplated was to cut the,;-sum in half." "Samuel Brown!"." exclaimed the wife, as she knocked on her plate with her fork to emphasize her words, "don't make any mistake on your wife, May.

Like Many Others of Our Customs, They Were Imported from China. The custom of making New Year's calls, which had a long run in America, and is still extant, came originally from China, where such calls are one of the main features of the brilliant and lengthy New Year's celt ebration. Every Chinaman pays : a visit to each of his superiors, and receives one from each of his inferiors. Images of gods are carried in procession to the beating of a deafening gong, and mandarins go by hundreds to the emperor and that apparently much-maligned sovereign, the empress dowager, with congratulatory addresses. Their robes are gorgeously embroidered, and are heavy with gold. The younger people call upon the elder. Children call upon their parents. Pupils pay their respects to their teachers. A light collation is offered every visitor, but it is to he noted, no wine is served. Tea takes the place of any stronger drink. as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and hew conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which'they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant'medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at anytime a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those cf known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in, effect, like the. pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs,has comeinto general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and,excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an' •original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; .therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children ajso that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than' the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genujne you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always, have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required. • • • • "* \W I i- rv H 3 •4U J ,.-1 ^ % ^,**.~ i f i Business Polnttrs.

This idea is entirely erroneous. Tbe postmasters have nothing whatever to do with fixing the rates and, except in the very smalF&ufftPy* offices, receive no part or percentage'of the rents. Tbey can only obey the orders ot the department, collect the rent and turn it over to tbe department. M. E. Church Notes. say?

The French, guided by reason, aa they would say, regard the Institution of matrimony as a rational reguJAtioa of the fact of sex, as a compromiae between the rights of the individual and the rights of society. The aa** obey*, but under protest; he Is willing to sacrlfl^fcte liberty so far, but, feeyoad that point, he regards self- Abnegation aa lanatlcal asceticism. Marriage, under French usage. Bays U. D. Sedgwick in Atlantic, is a partnership, in wtoich -such matters as character, tastes, education, birth and property are to be considered; contracting families scrutinize the proposed, bride and groom as if coming up for admittance into a club. They loot at our ^custom of marrying for love with amazement, as we should look at a grocer's cart that started pn its rounds at 30 miles an hour. Our system confines its view to the romantic dreams .of youth, and regards matrimony rather as a holiday cruise than ;a voyage of life. We may •err in our endeavor to regard men and women as disembodied spirits; and yet we cannot but think that the French err in their resolution to be sensible .and regard men and' women as animals taken in the toils of society. Our theory may look too far into the future; theirs lingers too far in the brutal past. Where Some Writers Fail. The most frequent defect in fiction submitted for magazine use and, we might add, in most of the fiction that somehow gets published in book form, is its lack of spontaneity in construction and expression, says Harper's Magazine. The writer of this manufactured fiction has a certain precalculated effect in view, with reference to which he ambitiously contrives every incident and situation of his story. The harder he tries the more surely he fails of .any genuine appeal to his readers. If he disguises his labor by a facile mastery of dramatic material and expression, he may succeed in reaching crude sensibilities and, because of his lower aim', may outsell his betters. The multitude is easily captivated by splendid artifice, which, in exceptional Instances, has compelled the admiration of even the judicious. We shall find, however, upon close examination, that in such instances the writer has not, by his strenuous, effort, wholly closed the door against all spontaneity. . . . In our day polite literature must appeal to human sympathies, and the writer's fertility of invention is of little service. Ghastly Facts About Lynching. No one can look at one of the photographs of a lynching without a sense of abysmal horror. It is not the horror alone or chiefly of the thing itself, the ugly, inanimate center of the tragedy. It is the faces of ths spectators that shock our very souls. They are always laughing faces. Good nature, even jollity, seems to be the note of these gatherings. Always wa see the faces of little boys grinning cheerfully toward the camera. There are women sometimes in the crowd, and sometimes little girls. There is no sign in these pictures of horror of death, even of grim satisfaction over a difficult and obnoxious task per- - formed by necessity. The man who • called it a "lynching bee" appreciated the true feelings of the lynchers. Leave out the grim wreck in the center, and the picture might be taken for an ordinary cheerful gathering at a country fair. Leave it in, says a writer in American Magazine, and, oh, my brothers! it is not the dead, but the living that terrifies. • C The chief wealth of the forests of Java, at the present time, consists in the wood of the teak tree, which is extensively employed for naval construction. The trees are ordinarily cut when they have attained an age of about 50 years aad a height of between 60 and 70 feet The species most esteemed has wood of a brown color possessing a greasy feeling to the touch. Since 1880 the teak has been cultivated, and the cutting of the trees has been regulated by the Dutch government. A peculiar feature of the cutting, designed to cause the wood to part slowly with its sap, consists in the girdling of the trunks a short distance above'the ground two years before the trees are felled. The timber is exported to all parts of Europe POSTOFFICI BURQLAMCS IN MICHIGAN WERE VERY NUMEROUS, RESCUER LOST HIS LIFE. Department Store Destroyed Aa Unfortunate Merchant—Girl's Flash Waa Cooke* TNrty*j£ht Offices Robbed.

Died to 8a.e Friend. Prank Watson, aged 17, sen of Druggist J. B. Watson, lost his life Christmas day in Pine lake while trying to save his friend, Byron Eckman, from drowning. They were skating together when Eckman broke through the ice. Watson, in attempting to pull^im out, plunged headlong into the water, never to arise alive. Eckman, after a long struggle, crawled out on the ice and raised an alarm. Frank Watson was a .student in the high school. 8tore Was Destroyed. Rose Bros.' department store In Manistlque was destroyed by fire with a loss of $75,000, covered by insurance. It started in &e furnace room when the store was closed for the holiday and the smoke Vas so thicli when the department responded that It could not reach the flames. Losses to other tenants reached $15,000. Probate Judge Knox lost his valuable law library and household effects. Others, Including E. W- Angel, W. F. Dowker, George Boldius, Dr. Husband, W. F. Crane and Floyd Bostwlck sustained almost total leases, with small Insurance. Cooked Alive. As a result of falling into a vat of boiling water in a Camden bakery, Miss Jeanette Cain sustained probably fatal injuries. She was unable to extricate herself, but was pulled out by Mrs. Wilson. Pieces of flesh dropped from the young woman's breast and limbs when rescued. He Won the Girl. The wedding of Miss Es'tella Eldred and Floyd Gordenier, two well-known young people of Climax, Is the outcome of a three months courtship behind prison bars. Early in September young Gordenier had a "date" to accompany Miss Eldred to a dancing party. His attentions to the young lady were not regarded favorably by her parents, and to avoid raising their suspicions he placed his suit case In the depot. When he returned with his sweetheart he found the depot locked. He broke in and recovered his suit case and aocompanied Miss Eldred to the party. He was later arrested and given 90 days for breaking into the depot. After his sentence Miss Eldred became devoted to Gordenier and visited him frequently, and there in the solitude of the gloomy jail was the old, old story retold. Lost His Sight. The firm of Wright & O'Dell, of Penn, Mich., has been dissolved. The year just closed has been an unfortunate one for Mr. Wright. He has lost the sight of one eye by being struck by a potato playfully thrown by a boy. The other eye was blinded several years ago by a kick from a horse. Monday the Wright home caught fire and sustained considerable damage before neighbors checked the flames. Looted the Bank. Yeggmen broke into the State Savings banks in Fowler Friday night, securing $25 of the bank's money and $449 worth of postage stamps, which the postmaster had deposited. They opened several safety deposit boxes, but found no meney. They knocked off the combination of the safe, but did not get Inside. No explosive used. Eight cheap watches, a revoke* and some small change were taken. Three suspicious persons got on a train in St. Johns last p.ight and alighted at Fowler. Brennem & Co.'s store was also entered. But the day worker acquires more coin than the day dreamer instantly Kill** . y Loaded down with. Christmas pre* eats, gifts from many Oxford friends, Bert Brown, aged 17, while oa bii way to his home in Oakland township Saturday morning, was instantly killed. The young man, who attended school in Oxford, took the 7 o'clock electric car south. He waa met at Five Points by the hired man and a rig. Leaving the hired man, he started to drive home. When crossing the Michigan Central tracks at the Thurston crossing, where a high embankment cuts off the view of the tracks, the rig was struck, by the 8 o'clock northbound passenger trains-Bow youth and horse were instantly killed. The young man was badly cut up. Brown was the only son of Wil- 11am Brown, one of the largest landowners and most prosperous fanners In Oakland county. He was exceptionally bright and waa idolized by bis parents. He was a great favorite among both teachers and pupils ol the high school, his position as quarterback and captain of the football team attesting his popularity with the boy8. As president of the senior class, he was to graduate in June. It was wltL a joyous heart that he boarded the 7 o'clock car for home. He was especially pleased over some handsome gifts of local friends, only to lie cold in death a short half hour after wards. Murder Was Brutal. Delbert Conklin, aged 30, a Lansing stonemason, was shot and killed Wednesday night, when he was called to the rear door of his house. His brother, Melvln, aged 21, is held on a charge of murder. Delbert was disemboweled by a charge from a shotgun. The brothers had quarreled. Melvln had objected to his elder-brother's marriage and was jealous because his father had assisted the brother in building his house. The alleged murderer and their father lived in a small house nearby. Yesterday when the father went to Kalamazoo, where a daughter Is not expected to live, the brothers again quarreled. The first shot took effect in Delbert's arm, causing only a slight wound, but the assailant followed his victim into the house, where the latter received the full charge in his abdomen. The victim's wife ran from the house and the assailant fired at her as she was crossing the street, but his aim was wide. In her night clothing she ran to a friend's house, where the police were notified. They found the alleged rdurderer lying undressed on a bed in his own house. He feigned u&consctansiMBS and will not yet talk of the affair. Want tower Railway Fares. An agitation for two-cent a mile railroad fares was started at a meeting of traveling men In Grand Rapids. Rep. Russell and Reps. Murray and Anderson were present and promised to vote for the two cent rate. Senator Russell will introduce the bill. The following resolution was adopted: To his excellency the governor and to the honorable senators and representatives of the state of Michigan: Gentlemen—We, the undersigned commercial travelers and voters of the state of Michigan, do most earnestly and respectfully petition your honorable bodies to formulate and pass at the coming session of the legislature a law similar to that recently passed in the neighboring state of Ohio, compelling all steam railroads in the lower peninsula of Michigan to sell books of interchangeable family mileage, and tickets at a flat rate of two cents per mile at all stations and in the upper peninsula of this state books of 1,000 miles Interchangeable family mileage at two cents per mile, and tickets at all stations at three cents per mile.

Bennett, surfman No. 2, of the Charlevoix life saving station, had eaten his Christmas dinner with his parents at Glenmere, and was walking along the beach at Glen lake with his brother, Frank C. Bennett, surfman No. 5, of the Sleeping Bear station, when he saw Harry Tobin, 11 years old, break through the ice. Before he could reach him the boy sank three times. Diving into the deep water Bennett went under J:he ice, slanting his direction toward* the boy. He sought for the boy on the bottom. The water was roiled, and it was with difficulty that he located the lad. He brought him to the surface by the hair. Because of the broken ice the rescuer could not get to shore. His brother cut a rope from a sled and with bystanders formed a living chain, bringing the boy in first, and then rescued the rescuer. Despite their icy clothes and exposure the two surfmen went to work to resuscitate the boy. In the absence of a barrel they used one of their companions in that capacity. The boy fully recovered.

Statistics compiled; by representatives of the United Typothetae of America and the American Weekly Publishers* association, which are vigorously fighting the movement to increase the rates charged for second class mall matter, show that the government Is paying the railways three times as much on the average for the transportation of mall matter as express companies pay for like services. On the basis of the postmaster general's estimate the publishers asBert that the government during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907. will pay the roads almost $32,000,000 more than the express companies would pay them for hauling an equal tonnage. "One of the chief needs of the government is an expert traffic manager," said a Chicago publisher. "It then would get as good rates as the express companies." Needs a Strong Hand. " Secretary Taft has received advices from Gov. Magoon at Havana Indicating that a more or less unsettled condition of affairs exists in certain parts of Cuba and that in Santa Clara province some lawless bands are operating and pillaging. Therefore at the governor's instance, Gen. Bell has. ordered* r. considerable reinforcement of the garrison of American troops in that province. For the first time since the second occupation of the island by the Americans it has become necessary-for the troops to undertake themselves the suppression of these disorders, instead of leaving this task to the native Cuban rurales, which is regarded as an indication of the inability of the Cuban civil authorities to permanently maintain peace in the island. Gen; Bell, in company with Gen. Wint, who will succeed him, January 1, in command of the American troops in Cuba, is now making «, tour of the island, with special reference to the military necessities in case further die turbanees occur.

Phillips was regarded in Blissfield both as model citizen and business man. He was Interested in a hardware business and other ventures aside from the bank, and it is believed he became Involved primarily because of efforts to get ready money, with which to keep up his options on his holdings in the Mexican plantations. Phillips has been cashier of the bank ever since its organization In 1893. He was the largest stockholder, owning 82 out of the 200 shares. The bank examiner, it is said, found about $18,000 worth of paper which he would not accept, and the stockholders, rather than close the doors of the hank, made a voluntary assessment of 100 per cent and, having a first lien on Phillips' stock, took that over-so that the stock -he Cleveland parties is worthless. . > C n Russian Office re Sentenced).

Maxson arrived from a visit in the state of Sonora, Mex., with a graphic story of a massacre of Mexicans and whites by Yaqui Indians at the little town of Lancho, late Saturday afternoon. Maxson's train stopped an hour at Lancho and there were rumors that the Yaquis were upon the warpath and that the few people In the neighborhood of the station and railroad were in danger. Station Master Thompson belittled the matter, and said he and his wife would remain at their post. The train had left the station not more than an hour when the Yaquis descended and butchered four people. Station Agent Thompson and his wife escaped by boarding a work train that pulled In after four people had been killed and Thompson and his wife had defended themselves behind the barricaded doors of the station. As the work train appeared the Indians withdrew. Col. Maxson and party, seeing the signs of the uprising becoming more alarming as they proceeded, started the train back toward Lancho and found the station burned and four human bodies lay along the track. The train stopped a few minutes to pick up any survivors that might be found. The bodies of the victims were still warm when Maxson, with the aid of the others, gave them hasty burial. A few miles further along the road four more dead bodies of Mexicans and Americans were discovered. The little band at this station had been able to repulse the attack of the Yaquis. The remaining defenders refused to leave on the train, saying that they could stand off the Indians until the rurales would arrive. THE MARKETS.

Tale of the 014 West By HAIRY LEON WILSON Afttker of " Tse Speafert.' & «r' •*» 4& CHAPTER VII.—Continued. The other who had not laughed was ferigham himself. For to this great man had been given the gift to look -upon men and to know in one slow sweep of his wonderful eye's all their strength and all their weakness. He bad listened with close attention to the remarkable plan suggested by this fiery young zealot, and he studied him now with a gaze that was kind. A noticeable result of this attitude of Brigham's was that those who had laughed became more or less awkwardly silent, while the Entablature of Truth, in the midst of his pantomime, froze Into amazement. "W'd better consider that a little," said Brighara, finally. "You can talk ifr'Sver with me to-night. But first you 40 gat your stuff unloaded and get kiad of fettled. There's a cabin just X fceyoad * y t w o U P t h e street here that yon can move into." He put his large "haw! Madly on the other's shoulder. ""Now run and get fixed and come to my house for supper along about dark." Somewhat cooled by the laughter of the others, but flattered by this consideration from the Prophet, the young man had gone thoughtfully out to his wagons and driven on to the cabin indicated. Brlgham talked to him late that night, advancing many cogent reasons Why It should be unwise to make war at oace upon the nation of Gentiles to Cast. Of these reasons the one had greatest weight with his listener was the assurance that such a course would not at present be pleasing In the sight of God. To others, touching upon the matter of superior forces they might have to contend with, he Was loftily inattentive. From matters of civil government the talk ranged to affairs domestic. "Te.1 me," said the young man, "the truth of this new order of celestial marriage." And Brigham had become animated at once. "Yes," he said, "when the fsrgily organization was revealed from Heaven, and Joseph began on the right and the left to add to his family, oh, dear, what a quaking there was in Israel! But there it was, plain enough. When you have received your endowments, keys, blessings, all the tokens, signs, and every preparatory ordinance that can be given to a man for his entrance through the celestial gate, then you can see it." He gazed a moment into the fire of hickory logs before which they sat, and then went on, more confidentially: "Now you take that promise to Abraham—'Life up your eyes and behold the stars. So shall thy seed be as numberless as the stars. Go to the seashore and look at the sand, and behold the smallness of the particles thereof—1 am giving you the gist of the Lord's words, you understand— 'and then realise that your seed shall be as numberless as those sands.' Now think for a minute how many particles " there are, say in a cubit foot of s a n d - about one thousand million particles. Think of that! In eight thousand years, if the inhabitants of earth increased one trillion a century, three cubic yards of sand would still contain more particles than, there would be people on the whole globe. Yet there you got the promise of the Lord ,in black and white. Now how was Abraham to manage to get a foundation laid for this mighty kingdom? ,Was he to get it through one wife# 'Don't you see how ricflculous that !•? ,Sarah saw it, a#l Sarah knew that ftmles3 seed was raised to Abraham he would come short of his glory. So what did Sarah do? She gave Abraham a certain woman whose name was Hagar, and by her a seed was to be raised up untahim. And was that all? No. We read of his wtfa Keturah, and also of a plurality ft Jrtfas which he had in the sight sad tawsr of God, and from whom he raised up many sons. There, then, was a foundation laid for the fulfillment of that grand promise concerning his seed." He peered again Into the fire, and added, by way of clenching his argument: "I guess it would have been rather slow-going, if the Lord had confined Abraham to one wife, like some of these narrow, contracted nations of modem Chrittlanigt. You see, they mm dctft snow that a man's nostajjty |» this *prid krtr.wuiam*m fan and kingdom aid doptoton . f*u«tba world to come/ and they' don't know, el&dr, that there are thousands of Chinee sftrttfrta the spirit world waiting ta toheynnrle in the flesh. Of course, t a r n are lots of these things that you ain't ready to hear yet, bat now you know that polygamy is necessary for oar exaltation to the fullness of the Lord's glory in the eternal world, and after you study It you'll like the doctrine. I do; I can swallow it without greasing my mouth!" He prayed that night to be made "holy as Thy servant Brigham is holy; to hear Thy voice as he hears it; to be made as wise as he, as true as he, even as another Lion of the Lord, so that I may be a rod and staff and comforter to these buffeted children of Thine." His prayer also touched on one of the matters of their talk. "But, 0 Lord, teach me to be content without thrones and dominion in Thy Kingdom if to gain these I must have many wives. Teach me to abase myself, to be a servant, a lowly sweeper in the temple of the MoBt High, for I would rather be lowly with her I love n a n exalted to any place whatsoever with many. Keep in my sinful heart the face of her who has left me to dwell among the Gentiles, whose hair Is melted gold, whose eyeB are azure deep as the sky, and whose arms once opened warm for me.

CHASTE* Vlih A Revelation from 4h* Lord, From his little one-roomed eahta, dark, smoky* Uttered with hay. old blanket*, and skins, he heard excited voices outside, one early morning In January. B e opened the, door and found s group of men discussing a miracle that had been wrought overnight The Lord had spoken to Brigham and word had come to Zlon to move toward the west He hurried over to Brigham's house and by that good man was shown the word of the Lord as it had been written down from his lips. With emotions of reverential awe he read the Inspired document "The Word and Will of (he Lord Concerning the Camp of Israel in its Journeylngs to the West" Such was Its titlo. "Let all the people," H began, "of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, be organized into companies with a covenant and a promise to keep all the statutes of the Lord our God. "Let the companies be organized with captains of hundreds and captains of fifties and captains of tens, "Keep in My Sinful Heart the Face of Her Who Has Left to Dwell Among the Gentiles." cially, O Lord, while she must company with Gentiles, for she is not wonted to their wiles; and in Thine own good time bring her head un harmed to its home on Thy servant's breast." "You have built me up," he confided to Brigham, one day. "I feel to rejoice in my strength." And Brigham was highly pleased. "That's good, Brother Joel. The host of Israel will soon be on the move, and I shouldn't wonder if the Lord had a grea*. work for you. I can see places where you'll be just the tool he needs. I mistrust we sha'n't have everything peaceful eVen now. The priest in the pulpit is' thorning the politician against us, gouging him from underneath—he'd never dare do It openly, for our Elders could crimson his face with shame—and the minions of the mob may be after us again. If they do, I can see where you will be a tower of strength in your own way." "It's all of my life, Brother Brigham." "I believe It. I guess the time has come to make you an Elder." And so on a late winter afternoon in the quiet of the Council-House, Joel Rae was ordained an Elder after the order of Melchisedek; with power to preach and administer in all the ordinances of the church, to lay on hands, to confirm all baptized persons, to anoint the afflicted with oil, and to seal upon them the blessings of health. In his hard, narrow bed that night, where the cold cams through the unwith a President and Counsellor at their head under the direction of the Twelve Apostles. "Let each company provide itself with all the teamsr wagons, provisions, and all -other necessaries for the journey. "Let every man use all his influence and property to remove this people to the place where the Lord shall locate a stake of Zion, and let them share equally In taking the poor, the widows, and the fatherless, so that their cries come not up into the ears of the Lord against His people. "And if ye do this with a pure heart, with all faithfulness, ye shall be blessed in your flocks and in your herds and in your fields and in your families. For I am the Lord your God, even the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Jacob. I am He who led the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, and my arm is stretched out in these last dsys to save my people of Israel. "Fear act thine enemies, for they are fa mj bands, and I will do my pleas^fs with them. "My people must be tried In all things, that they may be worthy to receive the glory that I have in store for them, even the glory of Zion; and he that will not receive chastisement is not worthy of my Kingdom. So no more at present. Amen and Amen!" This was what he had longed for each winter night when he had seen the sun go down,—the word of the Lard ta follow-that son on orer the • a s a a spaas^^ e B ^ v g^^^^'^Beaip^^^^^' ^™ ^^^w^^^ av^^^^^^^s/ . ^aaf c festad by savage *irtbesaad ravaaons beasts, abounding la terrors unknown. «*'-. % - tariy la Apr|I the life began to stir mors btfskiy if the great camp that sprawled along either side of the swollen, muddy river. From dawn to dark each day the hills echoed with the noise of many works, the streets were alive with men and women going and coming on endless errands, ard with excited children playing at games Inspired by the occasion. Wagons were mended and loaded with provisions and tools, oxen shod, oxbows renewed, guns put in order, bullets moulded, and the thousand details perfected of a migration so hazardous. They were busy, noisy, excited, ieappy days. At last In the middle of April, the signs were seen to be right Grass grew and water ran, and their part allotted by the Lord,, was to brave the dangers of that forbidding land that lay under the western sun. Then came a day of farewells and merrymaking. In the afternoon, the day being mild and sunny, there was a dance in the bowery,—a great arbor made of poles and brush and wattling. Here, where the ground had been trodden firm, the age and maturity as well as the youth and beauty of Israel gathered in such poor festal array as they had been able to save from their ravaged stores. The Twelve Apostles led ofT In a double cotillion, to the moving strains of a violin an$ horn, the lively jingle of a string of sleigh-bells, and the genial snoring of a tambourine. Then came dextrous displays in the dances of our forbears, who followed the fiddle to the Fox-chase Inn or Garden of Gray's Ferry. There were French Fours, Copenhagen jigs, Virginia reels, — spirited figures blithely stepped. And the grave-faced, squarejawed Elders seemed as eager as the unthinking youths and maidens to throw off for the moment the burden of their cares. From midday until the April sun dipped below the sharp skyline of the Omaha hills, the modest revel endured. CHAPTER IX. Into the -Wilderness. On to the West at last to build the house of God in the mountains. On to what Daniel Webster had lately styled "A region of savages and wild beasts, of deserts, of shifting sands and whirlwinds of dnst, of cactus and prairie dogs." * The little band of pioneers chosen to break a way for ithe main body ot the Saints consisted of 143 men, three women, and two children. They were to travel in 73 wagons, drawn by horses and oxen. They knew not where they were to stop, but they were men of eager initiative, fearless and determined; and their consolation was that, while their exodus into the desert meant hardship and grievous suffering, it also promised them freedom from Gentile interference. It was not a fat land into which they were venturing; but at least it was a land without a past, lying clean as it came from the hand of its maker, where they could be free to worship God without fearing the narrow judgment of the frivolous. Instructed in the sacred mysteries revealed to Joseph Smith through the magic light of the Urim and Thummim, and sustained by the divine message engraved on the golden plates he had dug up from the hill of Cumorah, they were now ready to feel their way across the continent and blaze a trail to the new Jerusalem. They went in military style with due precautions against surprise by the Lamanites—the wretched red remnant of Abraham's seed—that Bwarmed on every side. the radowbfshts Joaa ma)or, sad^ttsdrarti Kanpiy, Jm sJPSs>^P ^gsnwT»T';^|^W^^ Igwhjp^H^gjIMw'• ^^s» • i^paaagwagi^P^e^g^ •asa^s ^ w w s a^^^^^a ^^sagy^^ppaaeea ^#s* ^^^^^B^^a • ^^^» orders of the nontenant general required sasji man to walk constantly beside his wagon, leaving It only by bis officer's commands. To make the force compact, the wagons wars to more two abreast where they could. Every man wss to keep bis weapons loaded. If the gun wss s ca#tock, tha cap was to be taken 08 and a piece of leather pot on to exclude moisture and dirt; if a flintlock, the filling wss to be taken out and the pan filled with tow or cotton. Their march was not only cautToos but orderly. At five a. m. the bugle sounded for rising, two hours being •• allowed for prayers and breakfast. At night each man had to retire to his wagon for prayer at eight-thirty, and to rest at nine. If they camped by a river they drew the wagons into a semicircle with the river at its" base. Other times the wagons made a circle, a fore-wheel of one touching a rear wheel of the next thus providing a corral for the stock. In such manner was the wisdom of the Lord concerning this hegira supplemented in detail by the worldly forethought of his servant Brigham. They started along the north bank of the Platte river under the auspicious shine of an April sun. A better route was along the south bank where grass was more plentiful and the Indians less troublesome. But along the south bank parties of migrating Gentiles might also be met, and these sons of perdition were to be avoided at any cost—"at least for the present," said Brigham, in tones of sage significance. And so for 200 miles they broke a new way over the plains, to be known years after aB "the old Mormon trail," to be broadened later by the goldseekers of forty-nine, and still later to be shod with steel, when the miracle of a railway was worked in the desert. Joel Rae, walking beside his wagon, meditated chiefly upon the manner in whiph his Witness would first manifest itself. The wonder came, in a way, while he thus meditated. Late one afternoon the scouts thrown in advance came hurrying back to report a large band of Indians strung out in battle array 9, few miles ahead. The wagons were at once formed five abreast, their one cannon was wheeled to the front, and the company advanced in close formation. Perceiving these aggressive maneuvers, the <= Indians seemed to change their plan and, instead of coming on to attack, were seenvto be setting tire to the prairie. The result might' well have been disastrous, as the wind was blowing toward the train. Joel Rae saw it; saw that the time had come for a miracle if the little company of Saints was to be saved a serious rebuff. He quickly entered his wagon and began to pray. He prayed that the Lord might avert this calamity and permit the handful of faithful ones to proceed in peace to fashion His temple on earth. When ho began to pray there had been outside a woeful confusion of sounds,—scared and plunging horses, bellowing oxen, excited men shouting to the stock and to one another, the barking of dogs and the rattling of the> wagons. Through this din he prayed, scarcely hearing his own voice, yet feeling within himself the faith that he knew must prevail. And then as he prayed be became conscious that these noises had subsided to a wonderful silence. A moment this lasted, and then he heard it broken by a mighty shout of gladness, followed by excited calls from one man to another. (TO BE CONTINUED.) -y The Letter Was From His Sisti Husband's Wife Did Not Know This and Jealousy Cost Life. Charles Hepburn, of Newcastle-on- Tyne hadn't the slightest reason for thinking his wife was jealous of him. Therefore when he received a letter from another woman asking him to meet her at a certain hour, he carried the letter home in his pocket instead of destroying it. In going through his pockets at night the wife found the letter. She made no remarks, except to herself, but started to be at the place appointed and face the guilty pair. Everything was all right up to this point, but in walking to the corner mentioned in the letter the wife was run down and killed by an omnibus and the htfsband came along just in time to identify the body. She had the letter on her person and the husband speedily proved that it was his* cwn sister he was going to meet It is useless to point out the moral in this. Wires have been going through their husbands' pockets ever sines pockets were s feature, and they have also been finding letters At* from other women, and this sad tragedy will have no general effect There is always hope in the womanly breast of catching the husband dead to rights, and if she keeps on long enough she will probably accomplish her fell design. Perfumed Ink. Oh, Lilacsl When the thoroughly equipped society girl answers the notes of her newest recruit she must use stationery of the palest heliotrope. Her seal must be of the same hue and the latest flat is that her ink must be scented with the same flower. Count Boni, husband of Anna Gould, is credited with introducing this novelty into the land of the free. He once shocked the proprietors of that famous hostelry, the Ponce de Leon, in St. Augustine, by sending for ink perfumed with violets. Common ink, with its plebeian odor, Count Boni asserted, was imposslbltv So perfumed ink is going the rounds, and it is essential as sachet bags for the chiffonier or essence for the handkerchiefs. Hyacinth is a favorite scent for ink, for, being rather strong; it retains Its odor much longer. r •«4 1.-' MtiMfc : * * < • m ,% .-* 4*f '?*& Mrt w. :¥ r '•-,.• f+ •: i ...- r' iij*r> • • ; j,«t •>•.--•• f . - - u ' • • * . ; • . , . , - v -•«,<• , ' ^ • * f tekttg §ty«Mi F.

Kodol Dyspepsia Ci / Digests what you eat. [Original.] There waa a* commotion In Barason Hall, where a house party composed of wealthy British people was making merry. Lady Bnrnlckel, the wife of Bir Michael Barnickel, on retiring to her room U» go tu l>«d tulsaed a brooch in which was a rose diamond her husband had brought bin- from India and which he had procured from one of the native princes. It was of priceless value. Every guest was known to be above suspicion except Edgar Kenworthy, a youug American. Keuworthy was a studeut at Oxford, where be was trying for the honor of senior wrangler, a distinction to be obtained only by proficiency in the higher mathematics. Lady Baruickel declared that her brooch could not have been stolen from ber by a servant, for she did not trust servants and took care not to expose her jewelry to them. It must have become unclasped during the evening of its loss and been picked up by some of her associates. At any rate, no servant had come near her in the evening. A number of person* had been with her, among them Kenworthy. Lord Sarason directed persoually a search of the house and grounds, but the brooch was not found. An unspoken opinion gradually settled upon the guests that Kenworthy knew something about the loss of the treasure. The first intimation he had that he was suspected was from Miss Lucy Trevor, a young lady to whom he had been devoted, who gave him a hint. He showed such unaffected surprise that the girl had no doubt of his innocence from that moment. But she had no influence with the others. *. Kenworthy, after learning of the position he occupied, went to his room to thiuk. Either the brooch must be found or he must endure the obloquy of being considered a thief. That night after all had gone to bed Miss Trevor, whose room overlooked the front lawn, heard some one beneath her window and saw a dark figure pouring something out of a watering pot on the grass. Either his build or walk or some other feature iu- I dicated to her that he was Kenworthy. The figure soon passed too far away to be visible, and Miss Trevor went to bed wondering. She wondered still more the next morning^wheu one of the guests asked, "Who was that perambulating over the lawn with a lantern before daylight tills morning*'" Bhe did not catch what followed, but she naturally put the remark with what she had seen. Then when she went out on the terrace she saw a number of guests looking at the lawn, which had been divided into squares by lime lines, the process used in marking luwu tennis courts. These Bquares had been- made during the night, and no one could tell who had made them. The host denied any knowledge of the Work, and none of the guests attempted to explain it, Miss Trevor looked on with the others and said nothing. The mystery of the squares on the lawn engaged the attention of the household all that day. The only person who did not appear to take any interest in the matter was Kenworthy, who sat over sheets of paper on which he was figuring or poring over a book on optics. At luncheon time he left his books and papers on a table on the terrace, and they were examined by several persons, hoping some evidence could tic adduced from them to convict the American of theft. Tli.' next night one of the guests, whose room overlooked the lawn, was awakened by seeing a light through the slats of a window blind. He got up, went to the window and looked out. A light was moving on the lawn. And a #*ery singular nioiion it was. The light would go, say, to the right, then at a right angle, then at another and still another right angle. This process was repeated over and over again. What did it mean? The watcher kept his post till the monotony of the moving light made him sleepy, when he went back to bed. In the morning lie informed the household that the place must be haunted, for he had seen a light moving over the lawn about two feet from the ground describing a succession .of right angles. Then some one suggested that a lantern )• had been carried over the squares. That day the host told Kenworthy that he was suspected of having laid down the squares and asked him if he had done so; also if he had moved over them with a lantern at night. Kenworthy admitted that he had dona both. Then when his lordship asked his object in this strange proceeding he said he was working out a problem which would be finished that night and would not object to spectators. As soon as It was dusk, while the terrace overlooking the lawn was crowded with people waiting In anxious expectation for a revelation of the mystery, the American came out with a lantern and said: "I saw Lady Barnickel on this lawn with her brooch unpinned on the afternoon of Its loss, I believe it is hi the I have hunted over taree-quar* tore of the surface and shall do the remaining quarter now." He then proceeded to move the lantern along the lines 4>f the squares, a curious group following him. He had worked an hour. The group had been reduced to three persons, one of whom was Miss Trevor. Suddenly she made a spring and pounced upon something in the grass, then held it up to sparkle in the lantern light. Ir wa . Lady Bafuiekel's brooch.

These wells> by some sort of pres- ! sure, not clearly understood, have the : property of drawing in air at certain ''• times and of blowing out air at other periods. In order to ascertain definite- : Iy if there was any truth in the idea of weather prophecy the wells were j covered and a small opening was sur- , mounted with 1 U shaped pressure gauge. It waa found that when the barometer dam the ah? rushes into tbe i wells in a steady current, and when ; the barometer falls the air rushes out. The currents of air are definite and i easy to perceive, even without the : gauge. The general tendency of the weather Is foretold with considerable • certainty.—Chicago Tribune.

"Only once was I present, though.when ; the twins were born in different years," "Twins born in different years? You are crazy," said the young bride. "Not a bit of it," said the old nurse. "The thing happened in Pittsburg in 1899. The first twin was born at 11:80 o'clock on the night of Dec. 81, 1899, and the second was born at 1 o'clock in the morning of Jan. 1, 1900.

Tbe newspapers of tbe state have heretofore bad mi'eage books, which were paid f c in advertising at tbe regular rates and an account kept and statements rendered each month. The books were paid for the same as it any other kind of merchandise wad given. Tbey were in no way a 'pass' and could not so lie held by law. However the edict has gone tortb and henceforth no time cards or excursion rates are to he published without tbe railroad pays the cash—they cannot ex-binge $20 worth of mileage for$20 worth ot advertising. So hereafter if you cannot find out when tbe trains leave or where you can make connections, in tbe columns of your home paper, do not blame tbe editor. He is in town to make a living and bis advertising space and hn srs are bis stock in trade. If tbe railroads want to get along without the newspapers, we shall not kick, it is tbeir own business and we shall not try to ran it—we have enough to attend to of our own.

Spencer Parker seemed to accomplish no more than a hunting dog chasing a rabbit in the tall rye, continually jumping up and down and never getting anywhere. A dozen times he walked resolutely toward the brass door-knob of 1316, and as many times he concluded to saunter languidly past, as if he had no other reason for appearing in that neighborhood than simply to sun himself. But finally he summond up courage enough to pull the bell-knob, and an imitation cow-bell tinkled in the back of the house. "J. Spencer Parker, upon my word!" exclaimed the middle-aged woman who came to the door. "And pray what brings you here to-day?" She spoke in a sweet, musical tone, 1n pleasing harmony with the diffident demeanor of her guest, whose # every motion was quiet and respect- * .able, and whose voice sounded strangely like hers, as he replied: "Just visiting, ma'am. I wished to pay you my regards, Mrs. Simpson, and to congratulate you upon Mr. Watkins, who is coming to board with you." "Congratulate me!" cried Mrs. Simpson. "Why, I am indeed delighted to hear that. Do you know, }. have never seen him yet?" ' "Yes?" The look In Mr. Parker'* -eyes was far away as he replied, and his body, bant forward attentively, "I have known Mr. Watkins—Jeremiah Watkins, ma'am—from a boy. 1 am glad he is come to such a home as yours." "Indeed, you please me, Mr. Parker," returned'Mrs. Simpson. "I shall be -especially happy to tell our boarders what sort of person they may expect." Mr. Parker gave a sudden start, but carefully recovered himself. "Ah," he said, "that's what I came to tell you -of." "Indeed?" "Yes, Mr. Watkins is a—-a—a gentleman." Again the courteous speaker leaned forward as he spoke, struggling awkwardly for the next word—"but I want you to know that he is a—a gentleman." "Ah!" returned Mrs. Simpson, with ready Intuition. "Then he is perhaps •eccentric?" "Not exactly," replied Mrr Parker, thoughtfully and sweetly, "but he looks, let me say, ho looks rougher than he is." "But he Is—" "Yes," said Mr. Parker. "He la a gentleman." Half an hour later the door closed softly, and J. Spencer Parker came -down the front steps of 1316, at first smiling, and then sadly, walking with slow, unsteady step. As he passed by the little corner grocery store, he paused and smote himself pathetically on the breast. "Liar!" he said, groaning. "Liar! And yet—it had to be done. God forgive me!" Anyone who had happened to see Mr. Parker's friend, Mr. Jeremy Watkins, on the next day, when he came with his trunks to 1316, might have •been excused for cherishing the suspicion that he was not exactly a Beau llrummel or a Lord Chesterfield. He cursed the baggage man for letting *Is trunk fall roughly to the ground, -and quarreled with him over his fee; •and, to further give vent to his feelings, he strode to the door and gave the bell knob a vicious jerk. There f M not a look on his face or a gesture of his body that did not reveal faba a coarse, Ill-mannered young man, properly of the stable, rather than the house. His square, rough face, with its loose mouth and broad nose, his burly shoulders and big hands, and his clothing, inviolate with respect to any previous contact with the whisk broom, bespoke a vulgarity of person that he did not attempt to conceal. , It seemed almost Impossible that he should be a friend or acquaintance of such a person as J. Spencer Parker. Mrs. Simpson, radiant, sweet and freBh, appeared at the door, and gazed at him for a moment. Then, seeing his trunks, she extended her hand and said: "Mr. Watkins, I suppose?" ^ "Yes." J. Watkins was on the point •of asking her who in h—1 she thought he was, with two trunks right there before her eyes; but something in her (ladylike manner evidently different from what he had been accustomed to, checked him. "I am so glad to see. you," she went on. "So glad to know that we are to have you here. We are almost like a family here, and so yodttun imagine how much 1 was pleased to learn that our new lodger was a cultivated gentleman." Watkins flushed angrily, supposing tthai she was making, sport of him. but one glance at her frank, Ingenuous face convinced him of her sincerity. "Some one must have been here—" he stammered, uncomfortably, "telling you about me." "Yes," replied Mrs. Simpson, "Mr. Parker was here yesterday. He thinks highly of you." Again the surging suspicion that Mrs. Simpson was mocking him—and again the sweet and straightforward look from her. "I have known him a number of years, ma'am," replied Watkins, la a subdued voice. "So he said," returned Mrs. Simpson, "and it is Indeed delightful that those who know one well can speak so well of him. But come—your trunks must be taken care o t I will call our man." The man came—a wizened man, whose face was wrinkled into a constant smile; and as he bustled about, assisting Watkins with the trunks, he talked pleasantly and respectfully. "You will be pleased here, sir," he said, as they stopped, panting, at the top of the stairs. "If I do say it myself, there are no more gentlemanly or lady-like people in the world, than at 1316." Watkins, who had been just on the point of cursing the man roundly for dropping the trunk on his foot at the top landing, contented himself with blaspheming inwardly instead. At dinner there was a general hush whefr he entered the room, and he was introduced to the lodgers, one by one. A sweet looking girl sat next him, who said: "It will be so delightful to have you here, Mr. Watkins. Mr. Parker, who called here yesterday, tells us that you spent two summers in Europe." Memories of rough debauches in London and Paris and feverish gambling at Monte Carlo came flooding to his brain. His only subjects of conversation, in regard to European travel, heretofore, had been coarse ones. But now, coloring, he spoke itxt to at dinner.

( themselves; but answered his questions frankly. ' v ' When he returned to his room theft was a flower on his bureau. The gas was burning low. The windows were •lightly opened, and the fresh, pure air surrounded him. He found a pitcher of cool water at hand, and a~ glass stood near i t Presently, Mrs. Simpson knocked at hit door. "It occurred to me," she said, sweetly, "that yon might hot yet have unpacked y o u books." Watkins looked apprehensively at the cheap, trashy literature that adorned his shelves. "N—no," he said slowly. MI haven't" "If you would like to use any of our books, just go down into the library and help yourself. You need not bother to return them to their places, if you get Interested. Just leave them here in your room.** Upon the following Sunday one of the neighbors met Mr. Watkins in front of 1316. "I suppose this is Mr. Watkins," he said, cordially offering his hand, "I am indeed glad to meet you, for I have heard of you from your friends. Come up to-morrow to 1324, three doors up, and have dinner. We shall be glad to add another gentleman to our list of acquaintances." And so time passed, until one bright day, three months later, there came again to 1316 Mr. J. Spencer Parker. He pulled the door knob with some trepidation, and heard again the faint tinkle of the imitation cowbell in the rear. He talked again to the middle-aged, delightfully beautiful woman who answered his call. He left again In about half an hour. But this time, as he passed the little grocery store on the corner, he was seen to slap himself enthusiastically on the leg and to smile radiantly. m Uerfiald Tea is aede of herbs—a great point in its favor!

It was one of the cabinet dinners that werfc given by the secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Hitchcock throe yeare ago. The president and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived |n due time, as did all the other guests except Senator Coekrell. After a delay of almost an hour Mrs. Hitchcock invited her guests to the dining-room and dispatched a messenger to the residence of Senator Cockreli to make inquiries. Great fear was felt that the Missourlan had started and had fallen by the way, as the day was a cold and wintry one. The fact was, however, that the senator was sitting quietly at home when the messenger got there, clad In his dressing gown and slippers and congratulating himself that ho could be indoors. He had put the date of the dinner in his calendar in large and attractive handwriting, but had for-' gotten to turn a leaf and was, accordingly, a day behind time. No one( appreciated the joke more than did the president, and the dinner that began in anxiety and apprehension end-, ed in a big laugh at the dear old senator.— Denver Times. Monarchs as Linguists.

While the Bank of England make3 It a point never under any circumstances to relinquish the prosecution of those who have defrauded it in the slightest degree, being willing, if need be, to spend thousands of pounds to capture and prosecute people who have robbed it of even a few shillings, the Rothschilds make it a rule never to appeal to the courts or to the police In such matters. Of course, they are, like every other banker, occasionally the victims of dishonesty, but neither the police nor the public ever hear about the matter. This has always been a princlplo of the heads of the house, who take the ground that it is better to bear the loss in silence than to disturb popular confidence in the safety of the concern by allowing it to be $een that its treasures are not adequately safeguarded. CRIED EA8ILY. DIDN'T KNOW OF THE BOY, But Man Who Married Widow Had to Pay the Penalty. "It seems very nard that I should be called upon to pay for ihe boy," was the lament of an elderly man who was summoned under curious circumstances at Lambert, England. The proceedings were taken by the industrial school's officer with the view of obtaining an order for a contribution toward the maintenance of the son of a woman whom the defendant married two years ago. The boy, it was said, had been sent to the school before the marriage took place, and the defendant now protested that he had never seen the lad, and was quite unaware of his existence at the time of the marriage. "You have heard of the danger of marrying widows?" remarked Mr. Hopkins, the magistrate. "Unfortunately, I know it," replied the defendant. "It seems hard lines, I know,- said the magistrate, "to call upon you to pay for the boy. But men do such foolish things. Two years ago you didn't mind marrying this woman." "Yes, sir, but I didn't know what she was then," was the reply. An order was mado for the payment of 50 cents a week. The Dieting Nuisance.

The progress ot a new country cannot be better ascertained than by noting the Increase of railroad mileage in its transportation system1, and, judged by this standard, the Canadian West leads all the countries in the world during the current year. Thirty years ago there wa3 not one hundred miles of railroad west of the Great Lakes, and very little prospect of a transcontinental route for many years to come, but by the end of 1885 ffhe Canadian Pacific Railway was within measurable distance of completion, and last year—twenty years later— over C^OOO miles of railroad traversed the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. In the past year the work of railroad construction has been vigorously prosecuted, and by the end of 1906, some 5,000 miles ot completed railroad has been added, making a total of fully 11,000 miles In the three great grain producing provinces of Canada. Such an increase in the transportation facilities of the country is bound to make good times not only in the districts where the railroads are being built, but throughout the entire west. Allowing $20,000 a mile for construction, the sum of $100,000,000 will be put in circulation, and this in itself should cause good times to prevail in a land where work is plentiful, wages are high, and the cost of living is moderate. But the building of new railroads through Western Canada means .a greater benefit to the country than merely the money put in circulation by the cost of construction. Additional railway building means the opening of new agricultural districts and an additional area under crops; a largely increased output of grain to foreign markets with consequent financial returns; the erection of elevators and the growth of villages, towns and cities; and everything else that makes for the progress of national life, and the opening up of additional thousands of free homesteads, so extensively advertised by the Canadian government agent, whose address appears elsewhere. It was stated on the floor of the Canadian Parliament recently by a prominent representative that ten years from now would see the bulk of the population of Canada residing west of the Great Lakes, and if the work of railway building during the present year is any criterion, the ab,l1eP i would8 rrJ"IXhnTfl ^ ^ ^ P r 0 P h 6 C y m a d e b y ^ 6 C a n a d l a n 8 t a t e * anlni e la wno*u Tld ^cr,y w^ ith° ou^t "the* 1leas^t, ^rp a- I m_f.t»n . .m a y bue - e a s i l»y, ..f u,.l.f-l,1-,1,^* * in.s_i_d.e._ Of g£e?tt«in. 1g LpoLorn. ° t l C e d m y e y e 8 l B h t Wa s the time stated.

Tax endurance, says a wellknown nerve specialist, but do not tax strength. The very latest cure for sleeplessness was thought out by a celebrated French doctor, who came to the conclusion that most insomnia was due to over-fatigue or over-excitement of the nerves. *9g^ounteract this the doctor belleVe^U a series of muscular exercises warranted to relax the tension of the nerves and bring about that delightfully drowsy sensation— the forerunner of refreshing sleep. Annie Payson Call says there are five things' to remember if you want to rest an overtired brain. "i. A healthy indiffeience to wakefulness. 2. Concentration of mind on simple things. 3. Relaxation of the body. 4. Gentle rhythmic breathing of fresh air. 5. Regular nourishment." That really covers it all. When Belinda cornea home feeling "too tired to sleep" there is no use her trying to go to bed at once. Let her take a warm bath, letting the cold water run in until the water becomes cool, then let her slowly go through the many different points of the toilet, manicuring and hair brushing, for instance, so often done in a rush. These help relax and quiet the nerves and can take up an hour's time. Last of all a cup of warm milk with a pinch of salt. Many people, this applies particularly to men, suffer from sleeplessness because they are not properly nourished. Exhausted or irritated and excited nerves need nourishing. A bite of light and easily digested food will not keep one awake—on the contrary, it is often just what is needed to induce sleep. Sleep will not come to the brain that is worrying or even to the brain that is busy with the thoughts of "How shall I make myself fall asleep?" Here is where our French doctor comes to the rescue for his muscular exercises. Take the mind off the desired outcome and center it on directing the bodily movements which the doctor advises, inducing bodily fatigue by tiring the muscles. It sounds as if It would take forever, but it doesn't Just try it. Stretch the limbs in different directions. Lie on your back and pull the knees up. Inhale deeply while doing this. While the breath is retained stiffen and stretch the muscles, making the body as tense as possible. Now relax slowly and thoroughly, beginning with the muscles of the neck arm, and back; exhale at the some time. It is usually the neck that is so tense and rigid that very nervous people Avoid Exciting Reading. as if they were holding their heads on by main force. These stretching exercises will speedily teach one how to relax one's hold on one's ov/n tense muscles, which is the very fillst thing to learn for those who suffer from insomnia. / In New Shapes and Designs Guarantee On Their Products.

These fruit pin cushions in rich red silk or cut carmine velvet have stems of twisted silk, a wood colork or a composition stem with copies of natural green leaves, that at a distance look , ^ Pompadour ribbon continues to be ttsed for girdles on the handsomest getrns. Among the most fashionable plumage is that of the owl in natural colors. Instead of an all-white gown many of the lace and chiffon dresses are made with little boleros of bright colored silk or satin. Both high collar and cravat make the neck finish that best spits high vest openings. packages of the ingredients contained ^xy p r e t t y designs. There is one rn therein and. wo *Und back, of averjr t t a y c o r d e d gripes showing white and packasa real. Flower-like pin cushions, duplicates of roses, apples and peach blossoms and pond lilies, are also new and $an be easily made by a woman who has any knack in cutting original patterns. Made on the same lines as the laundry bag, with the addition of a lid that closes over the top and keeps out dust and, incidentally, any view of soiled handkerchiefs, is a small bag that, if fashioned of silk, is an adornment to a chiffonier or bureau. With two ribbon bows holding up the ends, the bag is really pretty, for over the top, finished with one oval embroidery ring, the shaped lid, covered with the material, is held in place with rib bon bows. a color just a trifle wider than pin stripes, and over all this are sprinkled pompadour flowers. Another waisting of silk and wool ( has clusters of black stripes (very narrow) on a white ground, with a tiny green vine and pink buds running in between each cluster of the black. While the length of short sleeves falls about midway the lower arm, long gloTMaare still necessary to wear with thedr Among the darker*^jvaistings are shown some very pretoy invisible plaids in green or navy blue.

Hands Cracked and Bleeding—Nail Came Off of Finger—Cuticura Remedies Brought Prompt Relief. 4, "I had eczema on my hands for about eleven years. The hands crack* ed open in many places and bled. One of my fingers was so bad that the nail came off. I had often heard of cures by the Cuticura Remedies, but had no confidence in them as I had tried so many remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen thVee doctors, but got no relief. Finally my husband said that we would try the Cuticura Remedies, so we got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course I keep Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the Abe cake of Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment cured them. It is surely a blessing for me to have my hands well, and I am very proud of having tried Cuticura Remedies, and recommend them to all suffering with eczema. Mrs. Eliza A. Wiley, R. F. D.

Odell, of New York, was coming up for a renomination at the convention in Saratoga, there was a plan to put a man on the ticket with him for lieutenant governor to whom Odell objected strongly. The governor's father, 88 years old, a deacon in the church and very strict in religious matters, was in Saratoga. There was a conference at one of the hotel cottages that lasted until late in the morning. The other leaders were trying to force Odell to take the obnoxious man. About two o'clock Odell's fatHer, who had heard what was going on, stalked angrily over to the cottage and rapped on the door. Frank Piatt, son of Senator Piatt, came to the door. "Well?" said Piatt sharply. "I want to see my son," demanded Odell. The governor came to the door. "What is it, father?" he asked. "Ben," said the oltj^-deacon, "tell them to go to !" "Yes, father," replied the governor obediently, and he went back and did just that.—Saturday Evening Post.

The calendar year is closing with every indication that the remarkable volume of exports will remain at the flood. A bulletin from the bureau of statistics at Washington is testimony to this effect The bulletin deals with the exports of domestic breadstuffs, meat and dairy products, food animals, cotton and mineral oils for November and for the 11 months of the present year ended with November. The total of these exports for November was 1105,811,000 against $99,841,000 in 1905, and for the 11 months $788,257,000 compared with $703,569,000 last year. The December returns are not likely to show any relative decrease, and the entire year is fairly certain to show a large advance over last. Several features of the bulletin showing command special interest. Though there was something of a falling off in this class of exports for the month, our shipments abroad of meat and^dairy products and of food cattle'^s^e »208,- 979,000 in 1906, or more than $20,000,- 000 in excess of these of the same 11 months of 1905. Legislation by congress and the steps taken by the administration in accordance therewith, aiming at safeguarding the purity of the output, have increased foreign confidence. The figures are of value as proving that while we sell abroad less barley, oats and corn, we are disposing in large quantity of what may be called the finished products from such raw material. The Americans are feeding more of the grain to live stock and selling more cattle and meat tc the old world! This is really an economic advantage, as finding a market for the higher valued product al tways is. The bulletin accentuates the predominance of this country as a source of food supply, while the com^ plete returns are pretty certain to prove that it lias been a big year for exports of manufactures also. Poland'* Pitiable Condition. The situation of Poland to-day Is pitiable. Business in Warsaw has fallen off 50 per cent, and more; the fashionable boulevards are partly deserted; the restaurants are but half filled, and the leading hotel is running at a loss. The city swarms with troops, but martial law brings only oppression, not security. Hardly a day passes but officials are killed or wounded by the terrorists, while suspected persons are arrested, clubbed or shot to death by:the authorities. The terrorists are strong enough to defy the government, while the government is strong enough to crush a general revolt, and the result is anarchy. When it will end no one can tell. But tsume day, says G. H. Blakeslee in the Outlook, peace will surely come, for Poland is to have autonomy. The Poles demand it. The great majority of the Russian Duma has promised It, and Russian liberalism must eventually win. Romance of Motor Travel. The motor car has rescued the romance of travel, freeing it from the Irritating compulsions and contacts of the railway, the bondage to fixed hours and the beaten track and approach to each town through the area of ugliness ,and desolation created by the railway itself. With the motor, says Edith Wharton, in Atlantic, we have regained the wonder, the adventure and the novelty which enlivened the way of our posting grandparents; above all, the delight of taking a town unawares, stealing on It by back ways and unchronicled paths, surprising in it some intimate aspect of past time, some silhouette hidden for half a century or more by the ugly mask of railway embankments and the glass and iron bulk of a huge station. Then the villages that one missed and yearned for from the windows of the train—the villages have been given back to us. Mexico winds up its year with a remarkably satisfactory financial showing. She reports exports of $271,000,- 000, an increase of nearly $63,000,000 over the preceding year, and imports of $220,651,000, a gain of over $42,000,- 000. But what is still better is the advance along all the lines of domestic development. Mexico is literally, living in peace and plenty, with the most efficient of governments under the wise directing hand of President Diaz. The day of upheavals' and factional disorders, resulting in general demoralization, seems to be past forever. Mexico has leaned the secret of wise self-government Wide Range of Subjects Covered in the Document of the State's Chief Executive. RAILROAD RATES TOO HIGH Suggestion That All Roads in Lower Peninsula Earning $1,000 a Mile Charge but Two Cents a Mile —Proposed Disposition of Primary School Fund. I*nsing.—The second inaugural message of Gov. Warner, read to the house end senate of the Forty-fourth legislature January 3, covers a wide range of subjects. It begins with a reference to the exceptional prosperity of the state's financial condition. The governor goes on record as favoring the calling of a constitutional convention in accordance with the expressed wishes of the people. Showing the financial position of the state, the following figures are given: "The balance in the state treasury, at the close of the fiscal year 1906, was 11,929,361.75. By reason of the payment of back taxes by railroad companies, the treasury balance, at the close of the last fiscal year, was $11,003,792.08. The state tax levy decreased from $3,869,724.67 in 1906 to $3,3S3,7S5.29 in 1906. The aggregate of all taxes, both state and local, levied In Michigan in 1905, was $27,402,198.86, and in 1106 approximately $2ti,3Sl,O00. The amount received from railroad companies In 1905 was $1,759.840.15, and in 190« $8,108,- 712.26. The latter sum includes the back taxes mentioned above. In 1905 the insurance companies of other states.operating in Michigan paid into the state treasury in taxes $32'.'.6O0.91. and in 1906 $422,- •42.55. Inheritance taxes collected in 1905 aggregated' $187.35'».38, and in 1906 $289,044.- 64. In 1905 corporations paid the state franchise fees.amounting to $69,910.42, and In 1906, $92,111.1)7. During the first 11 months of the year Just closed the state received $132,089.31 interest on deposits of surplus state funds in various banks throughout the state. The balance in -the state treasury, at the close of business, December 33, 1906, was $2,323,894.73. "The assessed valuation of the taxable property of the state was $1,574,422,770 in 1906, the average rate of taxation for that year for all purposes being $17.40 per $1,000 of valuation. It is estimated that the assessed valuation for 1907 will be $1,601,493,690, making the average rate of taxation about $16.40 per $1,000 of valuation. Good Financial Condition. "This satisfactory condition of the finances of the stare reflects quite faithfully the general condition of the financial and business institutions of the state as well as of the citizens of the state generally. There has not been a failure of a state or national bank in Michigan during the past four years. This fact reflects great credit on those officials who are charged with the duty of supervising these institutions." The reports of the boards of control of the various state Institutions show, the governor points out, that the state has recei»;?d honest, economical and intilligent service. He recommends a liberal spirit in dealing with the needs of the Institutions and a watchfulness in seeing that the funds appropriated are expended with care and economy. The necessity for increasing the accommodations of the hospitals and asylums for the insane and feeble minded is shown, as well as the Importance of carrying on the care and education of the deaf and dumb, the blind, and the dependent children of the state. The work done by the state department of health since Us reorganization by the last legislature is highly praised. A recommendation that the health laws of the state be modified and simplified follows. On the subject of Insurance the governor calls attention to the conference of February last, participated in by several state, and recommends that bills prepared by a committee appointed by that conference be given careful attention. The message continues: "The indeterminate sentence law, although of comparatively recent enactment in this state and providing for a radical change In the manner of sentencelng persons convicted of crime and terminating the period of imprisonment, is working satisfactorily. Dairy and Food Department. "The work of the dairy and food department lias been greatly extended during the past two years. Conforming to the suggestions made in my first Inaugural message, the legislature made provision for7 the new lines of worlf. Chief among the extended powers granted to the department, in addition to increased appropriations for its laboratory, were the supervision of and the giving Of police power over the condition under which food and drink products are produced, the control of dairy sanitary conditions from the farm where the milk is produced to the time of delivery to the consumer, in the form of either milk, cream, butter or cheese, the control of the sanitary condition of bakeries, confectioneries and ice cream plants, and the making it possible to appoint a sufficent number of inspectors to enforce the several provisions of the law. "During the past year, congress has passed what is known as the national pure food law and meat Inspection law. The application of the new regulations of the national food law will apply, BO far as the United States authorities are concerned, only to food products passing the borders of the state. In so far as It is practicable, without surrendering any of the advantages of the Michigan law over that of the national law, I recommend that the requirements of the Michigan law be made to conform with those of the national law. Need of Good Roads. "It Is an unpleasant, though Well established fact,' I think, that some states contiguous to Michigan can justly boast the possession of roads far superior to those of this state. Michigan has been lagging In this enterprise. The need of active work in the direction of improving our highways is Imperative. Good roads are of great value to all classes of our people, and an economically and intelligently conducted system of road building will prove to be a paying investment. The detailed report of the state highway commissioner is commended to your careful consideration. , "That there Is a very general demand for the enactment of a law placing private bangs under state supervision cannot be denied. Two years ago when a bill, making such provision, was passed by the house of representatives and defeated in the senate by a very narrow margin, apparently the only ones who S2S. l8Sr^»fe¥lSLJKS%S. stho efsaer saoe-c tahlleetdr rperliavtaioten As >toan tlhs ea reeu oumc aatree acoren ceprenremd,i ttoendl y toto htahned leex tethnet tfhuantd st heoyf trheegiurl adtieopno soitro rssu paear vtihsieoyn soefe afint,y wniatthuoruet.

"The subject of direct nomination of candidates far public office demands your consideration. Act. No. 181, of the Public Acts of li>06, known as the primary election law, was passed and received my approval. Experience.under it has demonstrated that in some particulars amendment is necessary, but that the law is satisfactory in the main is demonstrated by the fact that in the campaign just closed it was not an issue. The silence of both press and public speakers on this subject was in striking contrast with the conditions of t w o years before. "Chief a m o n g the defects in the primary election Taw which its operation has pointed out Is that both to the candidate and the public it is too expensive. While the new law properly and quite successfully stopped the corrupt use of money, it has not operated as its framers thought it would operate, to cut down the expense of a Campaign, for nomination, but has rata** aggravated that evil. The poor mau ought not thus to be placed at a disadvantage in a contest with a man of means. The provision of the l a w requiring* signatures to nomination blanks, ought t a be radically amended, making the minimum and maximum number of signatures required very small and very near together. . "At the outset i t w a s deem*«eV#MSe to provide one primary for the submission of the question of direct nomtna- . tions and the nomination of governor and lieutenant governor, and one "tor the nomination of other candidates. This, too, operated to increase public and private expense.

It is also true that whatever method of employing convicts is adopted, the product Of their labor, when placed upowtho maTket by the state or contractor, whether used by an Individual or In a state institution, will, to that extent, displace the product of free labor. This result of their labor Is a condition we all deplore, but it has never been and never can be entirely done away with. We should remember when considering eo as'to provide tkat, from the pr&arf child of school a g e In thejftate shall be apportioned on a just basis among the* university, agricultural college, oolleffje of mines, the three normal colleges and the several county normal schools. U s e Per I n t l r e Revenue. "Thus would the entire revenue from specific taxes be used for educational Surposee and the direct tax levy be reuced by over $1,000,000 annually, and, is a large majority of school districts, the total amount of money to be raised by direct taxation would be reduced. In the thousand or more districts, where, under the present system, the money is piling up and lying Idle In their treasurers' hands, the apportionment suggested would pay their share of the direct tax they are now required to raise for the support of the higher educational Institutions. "If this recommendation is adopted, the one-quarter mill ' tax now provided for the university, the one-tenth mill tax now levied for the support of the agricultural college, and the direct tax levied under the existing system for the maintenance of the other Institutions specifically mentioned, can be paid out of the primary school interest fund, and the direct tax levy reduced to that extent. "I concur in the recommendation of the state tax commission that the law governing the taxation of express companies be amended so as to eliminate, from the computation on which the tax is based the oqean mileage nf these companies. The inclusion of this mileage renders the result little less than farcical. "The satisfactory operation of the ad valorem system of assessing railroad property suggests the desirability of extending this system so as to include the property of telegraph and telephone companies. The present method of taxing the latter corporations 1B uncertain ana unsatisfactory. These objections can be overcome and greater justice attained by the application of the ad vulorem syst.im to these corporations. "The ad valorem system of assessing railroad property for taxation Is so firmly established as the policy of the state that the general subject of taxation of railroads does not call for any extended treatment in this message, v "One of the most important jcaBes in which the state has been directly interested ,and which h a s . been finally concluded in favor of the state, except In one Instance, "We referred to a s the railroad tax case, i n •which the supreme court of the United States upheld the constitutionality..*?.oou»: present method St. taxing, railroad property.

"Assuming, then, that prisoners must be employed and employed within enclosures, we are compelled to ohoose between the three systems by which this labor can be used; namely, the contract system by which the state receives a certain stated price per day for each convict; the piece price plan, where the amount paid is based upon the number of articles made, and the state account system, by which the labor is used by the state and the product sold by the state In the open market. For Binder Twine Plant. "Manufacturing binder twine on state account has been a success so far as it has been established. Binder twine is certainly a staple commodity that can be sold to our own people, and while no one can pretend that its sale by the state to Michigan farmers would not interfere with the profits of some individuals, that objection should not prevail. If it did, our prisoners would always be idle. We have no factory of the kind in our state and hundreds would receive a direct benefit to one who could possibly claim to be harmed. I recommend that provision he made for the establishment of a binder twine plant at Jackson prison. "The constitution and the laws of the state provide that all revenue from specific taxes shall be credited to the primary school interest fund, now that the state debt has been extinguished, and used solely for the payment of teachers' salaries. '"Until the recent change in the method of taxing railroad corporations was made, greatly increasing the revenue from this source, this profusion of the constitution worked few i n e q u a l i t i e s . Now, however, the amount of specific taxes annually collected is so great th*t It exceeds the needs of the object to which it must necessarily be applied. "1 would not in the slightest degree cripple our primary schools or curtail the scope of their operations and usefulness. They are the peoples' colleges and should have our most fostering care. I do not, however, believe It to be for their beat good to relieve the people of nil share In the cost of their maintenance. All persons are more interested in the welfare of that which costs them money or effort than in those objects to whose maintenance they make no contribution. "I, therefore, commend to your careful consideration the advisability of submitting to the electors of the *tat«, at the forthcoming general election in April, On the subject of freight car shortage- the governor asserts that ^the repeated recurrence of the trouble, year after year, warrants a thorough investigation as to th« responsibility of the railroad companies. He recommends tnat a committee' be appointed to investigate the matter. With reference to railroad passenger rates the governor says: "For the year 1905 there Were in Michigan 1.510.36 miles of road on which the legal passenger fare was 4 cents per mile; 4,920,18 miles on which the legal fare w a s 3 cents; 9R3.90 miles on which the legal fare was 2½ cents; 1,071.82 miles on which the legal fare was 2 cents. The 4-cent rate is confined, as provided in the law, to the upper peninsula. "There has been a steady increase In passenger earnings of Michigan railroads during the past ten years, the average Increase being about 60 per cent, for that period. The reports show that about 25 per cent, of the total receipts of these companies represents passenger earnings. One important company w h o s e track mileage has not been increased in ten years shows increased passenger earnings in excess of 80 per cent. The exact figures In this case are that in 1894 the total passenger earnings of the company were $588,489.79. while in 1904 they Increased to $1,093,235.75. Another company reported passenger earnings of $3,499.- 341.34 in 1894 and $4,818,763.54 in 1904. The increase in this case w a s 40 per cent. Would Amend Law. "I am of the opinion that the law of this state shpuld be amended so as to make the maximum passenger fare that may be charged in the upper peninsula 3 cents per mile, and the maximum rate in the lower peninsula, with the possible exception of that charged by a few independent companies whose passenger earnings are less than $1,000 per mile, 2 cents per mile. The legislature can, I think, be depended upon to deal justly with the smaller Independent roads to which reference is made. Two years ago I called attention to the fact that several railroad companies whose passenger earnings had passed the limit fixed by the htw for a decrease in passenger rates had, after demand for such decrease had been made by proper state authority, been enabled to continue to collect the higher rate for several years pending the final disposal of an appeal to the courts. In that message, while recognizing the right of the companies to such appeal, I suggested that much of the litigation could doubtless be averted if there was enacted a law providing that whenever the courts did not sustain the appeal of the company in such cases, said companies be required to pay into the state treasury an amount equal to twice the excess of passenger fares collected during the pendency of the cases in court. Xhe rase which was the cause for the recommendation of two years ago is still undecided and the company In question Is still collecting the higher rate. I, therefore, renew the recommendation just mentioned. The presence of lobbyists, either private individuals or heads of state institutions or departments, should not be tolerated, the message says. Governor Warner concludes by praising the conduct of the state officials, saying that they have been faithful, energetic and capable in the discharge of their duties. He renews his promise to devote his best efforts to the interests of the cltizenshlD of the state. Pugnacious Tuesday. Miss Ella Preston, a teacher in tha Barryton school, has been convicted of assault and battery on Leonard Campbell, son of Postmaster James L. Campbell. Justice Swift let her off with payment of the casts. Miss Preston la the young woman who horsewhipped Campbell on the street in front of the postofflce.

He aaw that the wind had veered and, even as he looked, large drops of rain came pounding musically upon his wagon-oover. Far in front of them a long, low line of flame was crawling to the west, while above it lurid clouds of smoke rolled away from them: In another moment the full force of the shower was upon them from a sky that half an hour before had been" jftld'udleBs. Far off to the right scurried, the Indians, their feathery flgures^jylng low upon, the back* of their small ponies. His heart swelled within him** aad be. fell again to his knees with many earnest words of thanksgiving for the intercession. They at once made camp for the night, and by Brigham's fire later in the evening Joel Rae confided the truth of hla miracle to that good man, taking care not to ntter the words with any delight or pride In himself. He considered that Brlgham was unduly surprised by the occurrence; almost displeased in fact; Bhowlng a tendency to attribute the day's" good fortune to phenomena wholly natural. AttlMgh the miracle had seemed to Alan a email, simple thing, he now felt % little ashamed of his performance. He wa» pleased to note, however, that Brlgham became more gracious to Aim after a short period of reflection. He praised him jndeed. for the merit rb he seemed to have gained In Lord's sight; taking occasion to' remind him, however, that he, Brigham, had meant to produce the same •effects by a prayer* of his own in due time to save the train, from destruction; that he had chosen to wait, however,- in order to try the faith of the Saints. By the first of June they had wormed their way over'500 miles of plain to the trading post of Fort Laramie. Here they were at last forced to cross the Platte and to take up their march along the Oregon trail. They were now in the land of alkaline deserts, of sage brush and greaBewood, of sad, bleak, deadly stretches; a land where the favor of Heaven might have to be called upon if they were to Burvive. Yet it was a land not without inspiration,—a land of immense distances, of long, dim perspectives, and of dreamy visions in the far, vague haze. In such a land, thought Joel Rae, the spirit of the Lord must draw closer to the children of earth. -.CklV.lc' 7 * " • * i /Throiigfc all tnia tXmf of marebia*; tfe* place whew they should pitch the tent of {srael was not fixed ^pos» When*. • Brtgnam ^xaa questioned arolind the camp-fire at night; hit only reply was that he would know the site of their new home when be saw it And it came to be told among the men that he had beheld in vision a tent settling down from heaven and resting over a certain spot; and that a voice bad said to him, "Here is the place where my people Israel shall pitch their tenta and spread wide the curtains of Zlont" It was enough. He would recognise the spot when they reached It From the trappers, scouts, and guides encountered along the road they had received much advice as to eligible locations; and while this was various as to sites recommended, the opinion had beep unanimous that the Salt Lake valley was impossible. It was, they were told, sandy, barren, rainless, destitute of timber and vegetation, infested with hordes of hungry crickets, and roamed over by bands of most savage Indians. In short, no colony could endure there. They dared not, Indeed, go to a fertile land, for there the Gentiles would be tempted to follow them— with the old bloody end. Only in a desert such as these men had described the Salt Lake valley to bo could they hope for peace. From Fort Bridger, then, their route bent to >wn this aU wheels a«bl«-Jocked; on to the summit of another lofty MIL—Little mountain; and abruptly down again into the rook gorge afterward* to become historic a» Immigration canyon, Following down this gorge, never doubting they should come at last to their haven," they found its mouth to be Impassable. Rocks, brush, and timber choked the way. Crossing to the south side, they went sheerly up the steep hill—so steep that it was all but impossible fot the straining animals to drag up the heavy wagons, and so narrow that a falsa step might have dashed wagon and team half a thousand feet on to the rocks below. But at last they stood on the summit,— and broke into shouts of rapture as tbey looked. For the wilderness home of Israel had been found. Far and wide below then stretched their promised land—a broad, open .valley hemmed in by high mountains that lay cold and far and still in the blue base. Some of these had slept since the world began under their canopies of snow, and these flashed a sunlit glory into the eager eyes of the pilgrims. Others reared bare, scathed peaks above slopes that were shaggy with timber. And out in front lay the wondrous lake—a shield of deepest glittering turquols held to the dull, gray breast of the valley. Again and again they cried out: "Hoeanna to God and the Lamb!" and -) >, \ CHAPTER X. The Promised Land. -.> 'VaSSo far on their march the Lord had protected them from all but ordinary hardships. True, some members of the company had suffered from a fever which they attributed to the clouds of dust that enveloped the column of wagons wheel in motion, and to the great change of temperature from day to night Again, the most of them were for many weeks without bread, saving for the sick the little flour they had and subsisting upon the meat provided by the hunters. Before reaching Fort Laramie, too, their stock had become weakened for want of food; an extended drought, the vast herds of buffalo, and the Indian fires having combined to destroy the pasturage. This weakness of the animals made the march for many days not more than five or six miles a day. At the teat they had fed to the stock not only all their grain but the most of their crackers and other breadstuff's. But these were slight matters to a persecuted people gathering out of Babylon. Late In June they reached the South Pass. For many hundred miles they had been climbing the backbone of the continent Now they had reached the summit, the dividing ridge between streams that flowed to the Atlantic'and stream* that flowed to the Pacific. From the level prairies they had toiled up into the fearsome Rockies where bleak, grim crags lowered upon them from afar, tthd •distant summits glistening with snow warned them of fte perils ahead. "Down, Down on Your Knees and Pray." the southwest along the rocky spurs of the Uintah mountains, whose snowclad topB gleamed a bluish white in the July sun. By the middle of July the vanguard of the company began the descent of Echo canyon,—a narrow slit cut straight down a thousand feet into the red sandstone,—the pass which a handtful of them was to hold a few years later against a whole army of the hated Gentiles. The hardest part of their Journey was still before them. Their road had now to be made as they went, lying wholly among the mountains. Lofty hills, deep ravines with jagged sides, forbidding canyons, all but impassable streams, rock-bound and brush-choked,—up and down, through or over all these obstacles they had now to force a passage, cutting here, digging there; now double-looking the wheels of their wagons to prevent their crashing down some steep incline; now putting five teams to one load to haul it up the rock-strewn side of some waterway. From Echo canyon they went down the Weber, then toward East canyon, a dozen of the bearded host going forward with spades and axes as sappers. Sometimes they made a mile in five hours; sometimes they were less lucky. But at length they were lighting their way up the choked East canyon, starting fierce gray wolves from their lairs in the rocks and hearing at every rod of their hardfought way the Bwift and unnerving song of the coiled rattlesnake. Eight fearful miles they tolled through this gash in the mountain; then over another summit—Big many of the bearded host shed tears, for the hardships of the way had weakened them. Then Brlgham came, lying pale and wasted in his wagon, and when they saw him gaze long, and heard him finally say: "Enough—drive on!" they knew that on this morning of July 24, 1847, they had found the spot where in vision he had seen the tent of the Lord come down to earth. There on the summit they knelt to entreat the mercy of God upon the land. The next day, by their leader's direction, they consecrated the valley to the Lord, and planted six acres of potatoes. CHAPTER XI. Another Miracle and a Temptation in the Wilderness. The floor of the valley was an arid waste, flat and treeless, a far sweep of gray and gold, of sage-brush spangled with sunflowers, patched here and there with glistening beds of salt and soda, or pools of the deadly alkali. Here crawled the lizard and the rattlesnake; and there was no music to the desolation save the petulant chirp of the cricket At the sides an occasional stream tumbled out of the mountains to be all but drunk away at once by the thirsty sands. Along the banks of these was the only green to be found, sparse fringes of willow and wild rose. On the borders of the valley, where the steeps arose, were little patches of purple and dusty brown, oak-bush, squaw-berry, a few dwarfed cedars, and other scant growths. At long intervals could he found a auuna «t wis«*raa*,,or a few acre? of withered bunch-grass. But these served, Pftfe to* ,oanphastoe the prevaJlta* desert tones. The i BQjtejaked earth was so bard that ltf broke th** pkjwi1 when-they tried t* - turn '*&? * Not • until' they had spread water upon it from the river they had named Jordan1 could the plows* to used Such was the new Canaan, the land held in reserve by the Lord for His chosen people since the foundations of the world were laid. Dreary though it was, they were elated. Had not a Hoses led them out of bondage up into this chamber of the mountains against the day of wrath that was to consume the Gentile world? And would he not smite the rocks for water?" Would he not also be a Joshua to sit in judgment and divide to Israel his inheritance? They waited not nor demurred, but fell to work. Within a week they had explored the valley and its canons, made a road to the timber eight miles away, built a saw-pit, sawed lumber for a skiff, plowed, planted, and irrigated half* a hundred acrea of the parched soil, and begun the erection of many dwellings, some of logs, some of adobes. Ground had also been chosen and consecrated by Brlgham, whereon, in due time, they would build up their temple to the God of Jacob. Meantime, they would continue to gather out of Babylon. During the late summer and fall many wagons arrived from the Missouri, so that by the beginning of winter their number was nearly 2,000. They lived rudely, a lucky few in the huts they had built; more in tents and wagon-boxes. Nor did they fail to thank Providence for the mild winter vouchsafed to them during this unprotected period, permitting them not only to survive, but to continue their labors—of logging, home-building, the making of rough furniture, and the repairing of wagons and tools. When the early spring came they were again quickly at the land with their seeds. Over 5,000 acres were sown to needful produce. When this began to sprout with every promise of a full harvest their joy was bound less; for their stock of breadstuffs and provisions had fallen low during the winter, and could not last later than harvest-time, even with rigid economy But early in June, in the full flush of this springtide of promise, it ap peared that the Lord was minded tc chasten them. For into their broad, green fields came the ravenous crickets In wide, black streams down the mountain sides. Over the growing grain they spread as a pall, and the tender sprouts were*consumed to the ground. In their track they left no stalk nor growing blade. Starvation now faced the Saints. In their panic they sought to fight the all-devouring pest. While some went wildly through the fields killing the crickets, others ran trenches and tried to drown them. Still others beat them back with sticks and brooms, or burned them by fires set in the fields But against the oncoming horde these efforts were unavailing. Where hundreds were destroyed hundreds of thousands appeared. Despair seized the Saints, the bitter despair of a cheated, famished people —deluded even by their God. In their shorn fields they wept and knowing at last they could not stay the pest. Then into the fields came Joel Rae rebuking the frenzied men and women. The light of a high faith was upon him as he called out to them: "Have I not preached to you all win ter the way to salvation in times like this? Does faith mean one thing in my mouth and another thing here' Why waste yourselves with those foolish tricks of fire and water? They only make you forget Jehovah—you fools—you poor, blind fools—to paltei = so !*» He raised his voice, and the won dering group about him grew large. "Down, down on your knees antf pray—pray—pray! I tell you the Lord shall not suffer you to perish!" , Than, ai» bet * s * er two obeyed M8o your heart* have been, Ju**V eoed? Then my-tibrn prayer shattatve) you!" Down, he kneU^ln the mjUUt-of the group, while they Instinctively drew back from him on all aides. But as his voice rose, a voice that had never failed to move them, they, too, began to kneel, at first those near him, then others back of them, until a hundred knelt about him. He bad not observed them, but with eyes closed he prayed on, pouring out his heart in penitent supplication. As his words rang out, there had been quick, low, startled murmurs from the kneeling group about him; and now loud shouts interrupted his prayer. He opened his eyes, From off toward the lake great flocks of gulls had appeared, whitening the sky. and now dulling all other sounds with the beating, of their wings and their high, plaintive cries. Quickly they settled upon the fields in swirling drifts, so that the land all about lay white as with snow. A groan went up: They will finish what the cricket* have left." He had risen-to bis feet looking latently. Then he gave an exultant shout "No! No!—they are eating only the crickets I —the white birds are devouring the black pests; the hosts of heaven and hell have met and the powers of light have triumphed once more over darkness! Pray—pray now with all your hearts in thanksgiving for this mercy!" And again they knelt many with streaming eyes, while he led them in a prayer of gratitude for this wondrous miracle. All day long the white birds fed upon the crickets, and when they left at night the harvest had been saved. Thus had Heaven vouchsafed a second miracle to the Lute of the Holy Ghost It is small wonder then if his viewB of the esteem in which he was held by that power were now greatly enlarged. In August, thanks to the Heavensent gulls, they were able to celebrate with a feast their first "Harvest Home." In the center of the big stockade a bowery was built, and under its shade tables were spread and richly laden with the first fruits their labors had won from the desert— white bread and golden butter, green corn, watermelons, and many varieties of vegetabj$j3. Hoisted on poles for exhibition'- we#e immense sheaves of wheat, rye, barley, an* oats, coaxed from the arid level with the water they had cunningly spread upon it There were prayers and public thanksgiving, songs and speeches and dancing. It was the flush of their first triumph over the desert. Until nightfall the festival lasted, and at its close Elder Rae stood up to address them on the subject of their past trials and present blessings. The silence was instant, and the faces were all turned eagerly upon him, for it was beginning to be suspected that he had more than even priestly power. When he was done many pressed forward to take his hand, the young and the old, for they had both learned to reverence film. Near the outer, edge of the throng was a red-lipped Juno, superbly rounded, who had gleaned in the fields " l"cV Lentil she was all a Gypsy brown, and cursed rge r m o v e m e n t s 0f a Gypsy grace in their freeness. She did notj greet the young Elder as did the othWs, seeming, indeed, to be unconscious of his presence. Yet she lingered near as they scattered off into the dusk, in little groups or one by one; and still she stood there when all were gone, now venturing just a glance at him from deep gray eyes set under black brows, turning her splendid head a little to bring him into view. He saw the figure and came forward, peeringly. "Mara Cavan—yes, yes, so it is!" He took her hand, somewhat timidly, an observer would have said. "Your father is not able to be out? I shall walk down with you to see him—if you're ready now." him— (TO BE CONTINUED.) ,0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ONLY A TEMPORARY CRAZE Pilgrims From "the Other Side" Lapse Into "United States" Again.

[Original.] I was sitting one evening in the parquet of a theater In New York when I noticed a young lady in a box in the second tier looking at me. When I fixed my eyes upon her she turned hers Away, but when a few minutes luter I looked at her again I saw that ebe was regarding me through a lorgnette. She lowered her glass and turned away with a look which indicated either repulsion, disappointment or pain. It might have been any of these, but I could not tell which. My curiosity was at once aroused. I did not remember to have ever seen tbe lady before and certainly had no knowledge of having injured her. Be? fore the close of the last act I left the theater and stood on the sidewalk waiting for her to come out. She did so In company with an elderly gentleman and lady. As soon as they entered their carriage I went across the street where mine stood ready and entering told tbe driver to follow. The party alighted at a house on Madison avenue, the number of which I noted, then drove away thinking of some plan to solve the mystery. Before reaching home I bad resolved to write a note to the lady and send it next day. This Is what I wrote: Mr. Royal Prltchard present* hla compliments to the young lady he saw at the theater last evening and who gave evidence that in some way her antagonism had been excited against him. As be does not remember ever having Sees her before, he begs-an explanation. If he has been mistaken in his Inference, he apologises for addressing her. I sent the note by a messenger who on returning said that he bad been told If there was any reply It would be sent later. I waited three days and was about to give up all hope of receiving any word when a note came which read as follows: Since Mr. Pritchard has entirely forgotten the lady he saw at the theater, he need not give himself any concern with regard te her. It is needless to say that I read these few words with astonishment It was plain to me that I had been mistaken for some one else. However, I did not care to have the error uncorrected and wrote again, stating that tiers must be some misapprehension as to my Identity and begging permission to call and clear up the matter. To this I received a reply that the name I had given in my notes was the same as that of tbe person I was supposed to be; therefore there could not possibly be any mistake. The lady did not care to renew the acquaintance of one who had paid her the highest compliment man could pay to woman and then forgotten that he had ever met her. I began to feel that I must have passed through some Illness or met with some accident that had Impaired my memory. I asked several persons who had seen me nearly every day for years if this was the case and got laughed at for my pains. I confided my correspondence to my sister, but all the sympathy I got from her was, "That's just like a man for all the world." I was about to wnite one more note Inquiring for the lady's name, but my sister, who knew the tricks and manners of the sex, told me the girl was teasing mo and would give me no satisfaction; that If I wanted to clear up the nialter I bad better call and call ! again and again till I had seen and i talked with my tormentor. j Had the girl been unattractive I might have dropped the matter. On the contrary, her Image—that of a girl with u face denoting character as well as being pretty—seemed to grow upon me, and I was literally being teased into a condition bordering on the tender passion. Summoning all my courage, I called upon the girl and sent up my card. An answer came that the young lady was not at home. This might mean thai she was not at home to me or that she was really out I called twice more on her, and each time received some message that put me off without twing a positive refusal. Finally, on my third call, she came Into the room and stood regarding me with what she Intended to be a haughty stare. Nevertheless I fancied I could see a sparkle In her eye. "I beg of yon," I said, ''cease this torment, which has become unbearable. If, as you say, I have known and forgotten you It must be through some physical defect on my part, for In health I am sure I could never forget having once seen you." "Did you not once live in B . r she asked. "Yes; when a boy." "And go to the high school there r "Tea." "And did you not carry books for Dolly Farleigh, a little girl eight years four junior?" T o n don't mean"-- "And didn't you*V- "Tell bar that when we ware grown the should be my little wife? Yes, I lid,, and I nm ready to keep my word." I fist sank on a sofa with a delighted •tackle, and I sat down beside her. When she saw me at the theater she tt once suspected who I was and was about to haaard a bow when she per eelved that I did not recognlie her. Sfee turned away, remembering that she sad been staring at a man who might, ifter all, he a stranger to her. It was Ibe look that accompanied this realization that I had interpreted as something more serious. All doubt of my Identity sad only been removed at the receipt »f the note giving my damp. I I atoned for my imperfect memory gy a lifetime of devotion. i BDWABD B. LINCOLN. F:od ^on't digest?

The people of the Faroe islands cling to their old customs and see little good In change, says the author of "The Faroes and Iceland," but now and thou one of them becomes a conservative reformer. Such was an old man of Stromo who, in his youth, had learned cabinetmaking In Copenhagen, the.i had been a blacksmith In New South Wales and later a marine in the Dan ish navy during the Sleswick-Holstein war. Having thus traveled far beyond the wildest dreams of his countrymen, he returned while still a comparatively young man to Stromo and Invested his savings ID a home, Conservative though he appeared to outlanders,' tc tbe Islanders he was a reckless innovator. He roofed his house witii slate 4nstead ' of with the traditional turf, but could find none to follow hi.- example. They shook their heads iv doubt. He argued vainly with tho;;; against the habit of throwing ti;h cleanings into the brook and getting drinking water lower down. The only advice they would accept from him and that after long hesitation—was to boil their fish oil outdoors Instead of \v the U/ing room. But when this terrlbU innovator heard from a visitor that women rode bicycles in Knglaiul he was so astonished that he asserted confidently that tbe world could not last much longer.

Myron H. Walker, of Grand Rapids, In 8 paper, said judges should exercise more of their powers outside the court as conservators of the peace, saying they could not disclaim responsibility for non-enforcement of law within their circuits. Justice Grant had spoken along the same line, and the question of what powers they had in that direction aroused a discussion, resulting in the appointment of a committee to report next year. In the course of the talk on the subject, Judge Smith, of Pontiac, expressed a willingness to call a grand jury whenever he believed the occasion required, but expressed, objection to the action of one of the supreme court judges In writing letters into his circuit, saying that a grand jury should be cajjed. He •didn't say to which justice he referred. Judge Nelson Sharpe, of West Branch, advocated the repeal of Act .309 of the last session, which practically took from judges the pewerto use discretion in granting changes of cvenue. Talk-of Railroad Legislation. Several representatives regard the street railway supervision clause of the governor's message as pointing the w a y t o state control instead of local franchises. The^ame representatives commented on the merits of the street railway state law of Massachusetts. [The latter gives.; to a commission •of business men-appointed by the •governor the right to withdraw the privilege to operate from the company at any time. It provides that after allowing the company a fair rate of in^rest on its actual investment, the excess must be used for Improvements to the service, and any sum not so required goes to i the treasury of the municipality where the company operates. It limits the bonded indebtedness per mile of trackage, contains a municipal purchase clause and controls the rate of fare under certain conditions. These are provisions which a/ew representatives were heard discussing with favor. The governor's reccommendatlon is that street railways be required to make full reports to the* state authorities, and that the railroad commissioner should have supervision of street railways as he has of steam railroads. He calls attention to the fact that electric railways are extended into many parts of the state. This clause of his message is regarded by many legislators as of very great importance. It is pointed out that the word "supervision", involves the enactment of general regulations concerning the operation of street railways in every municipality. Alumni Memorial at U. of M. Preliminary sketches of the Alumni Memorial building, University of Michigan, are, going forth to every land and clime. A circle of interest will be completed, reaching round the .world. Michigaa has graduates wherever the sun rises. To these men, everywhere, will come at this time a broad suggestion for the alma mater. The Memorial building will be of buff stone, with broad granite steps and landings. It will be fashioned en the massive Greek styfe, but with the lightness and grace, as well as solidity, of Greek memorials. Something in the very outlines will suggest the strength and loyalty of men of Michigan. _ The building will be a lasting gift from the past to the present; Unking forgotten generations of students with the yoking men now on the pampas So, influences long past will continue to foster a noble usefulness. But the Memorial building Is to be more than a mere inspiration. It will HO a daily need in 'college life for students, faculty", alumni and friends. Perpetual care and maintenance Is guaranteed by the board of regents. At the recent banquet of the Alumni association a special committee was appointed, consisting.of Henry •jyRussel, chairman, Wetmore Hunt and Harlow P. Dtavock, who will make a systematic canxass of' the $£troit alumni. When it is considered that this is the first movement on ,t^a part of the alumni at large m f»akipg a substantial gift to .jW^;^«p»r«We and when the amount required is so moderate In comparison* to^|§i. gjjtts of alumni of o(ber universities and colleges, the abundant success of the enterprise cannot be doubted. A email amount f rom each aliiminus will speedily solve the problem AM Discuss Senatorship. Corridors of the Downey house have been jammed to the limit of standing room with representatives, senators and friends of the senatorial candidates It is well that the senatorial question is to be disposed of early, because it fills the minds of the legislators. Nothing else is discussed, nor 'Will be discussed, until a successor of tJen. Russell A. Alger has been selected. Groups of three," four and five are •closely crowded by other groups and in low, earnest tones the all-absorbing issue is being thrashed out. All are Sensation in Senatorial Conttst The Republican legislative caucus met Jan. 2, but, contrary to expectations, made no seJsejljaW-fdrv United States senator. Adjournment- was taken for a week, and In the meantime sensational charges of corruption In connection with the'cauctis'nomination will be thraehed out. Governor Warner, in a statement sent from his sickbed at Farmington, accuses Arthur Hill of Saginaw, one of the four Republican, candidates for senator, of questionable methods. Congressman Charles E.. Townsend of Jackson, Congressman William Alden Lmlth of Grand RapMs, and William C. M& Millan of Detroit, son of former United States Senator James McMillan, are the three candidates in addition to Mr. Hill. Hill is said to have made a combination with State Railroad Commissioner Atwood. Governor Warner's statement arraigns Hill's methods and-says: "For some time there have been rumors, some of which at least deserve careful investigation before they are dismissed, that there have been improper methods used in advancing his candidacy. I have heard more of these rumors from Mr. Atwood than from any other person. I believe the people of this state would, if given an opportunity unite with me in my desire to rebuke such alleged methods." PaUsM Cured a* Iftttiw Credit to Or. Pink Pills. Krs. fi. C Wsliock, of 114 Cleveland Avenue, Everett, Mass., the wife of an employe in the government works at Chelsea, sajrt: "I had been troubled with nervous* new for ten yean and the disease kept growing on me. Then I learnod that I was suffering from locomotor ataxia. I had terrible tremblings m my right leg which would get rigid and when this happened in the street I aad to stand still until it passed away to keepJrom falling. My right arm felt as if a thousand needles were pricking It. The sheet touching my knee 4n bed would nearly cause me to scream out with pain and both knees were so weak I could hardly stand. "I had to use a cane and be helped about by my ion. Then the pain began to settle in the calves of my legs and the muscles became numb and quivered constantly. The cords under my knees seemed to be drawn up tight and the terrible shooting pains In my legs would nearly drive me in* ssne. My toes became numb and at times would prickle as if needles were being thrust into them. My eyes became dull and black spots floated before them. My heart was very weak. "My attention was called to Dr. Williams' P!nk.Plll8 and I bought sev. era! boxes right away and soon felt relief. I was so pleased that I kept on taking them until they cured me entirely, and I have had no symptoms of the trouble for over a year."

Twenty-flve years ago W. £ Wetham left the town qf La Orange, Qa., with 4 the muniacent?s3' V 3 3 dollar In his pocket" and landed In New* York with nothing to his credit but his clothes and his character. The quality of the former does not matter and the quality of the latter has shown itself. He is to-day president of 75 banks, all but four of which are situated in his native state. In return for Georgia's •mail advance of 100 cents he has pretty well cornered ttr IVattXtyg interests and has in peeping a^goodly amount of her funds.

Many are outspoken concerning for Whom they sliall vote. Many, too, are non-committal.. These latter make the result of the contest utterly impossible of prediction. The only apparent difference here is that many legislators have come here pledged to their electorate to support a certain candidate. They openly tell where they stand. But there are others who have not made such announcements and hence the uncertainty. All of the senatorial candidates were on hand early with the exception of W. C. McMillan, of Detroit, word being received that he is confined to his bed with an acute attack of la grippe. Big Plans For M. A. C. Fete. Arrangements are progressing toward making the semi-centennial celebration of the founding of the Michigan Agricultural college a very notable affair. President Roosevelt" will be present and at a meeting of the executive committee it was de- 'Cided to hold the niimral meeting of American agricultural colleges here at that time. Between 200 and 300 leading educators of the country are expected to be present. For More Circuit Judges.' The first bill that has been drafted affecting the interests of Detroit is one increasing the nuumber of circuit Judges from six to seven. The matter is said to have received the favorable attention of Gov. Warner. The bill Travelers' Observations Have Proved That Weeping Is Common. Travelers through the Syrian desert have seen horses weep from thirst, s mule has been seen to cry from, the pain of an injured foot and camels, it is said, shed tears in Btreams, says a writer in Harper's Weekly. A cow sold by its mistress who had tended young Boko ape used to cry from vexation if Livingston didn't nurse it in bis arms when it asked him to. Wounded apes have died crying, and apes have wept over their young slain by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to carry water Jugs broke one and fell a-crying, which proved sorrow, though it wouldn't mend the Jug. Rats, discovering their young drowned, have been moved to tears. A giraffe which a huntsman's rifle had injured began to cry when approached. Sea lions often weep over the loss of their young. Gordon Cummings observed tears trickling down the face of a dying elephant. And even an orangoutang when deprived of ks mango was so vexed that it took to weeping. There is little doubt, therefore, that animals do cry from grief or weep from pain or annoyance. governor the number was reduced. It was known that when the bill is passed the governor will appoint Attorney George B. Yerkes to the place, waiting until after the spring election to do so, which will give Mr. Yerkes a year and a half on the bench before the next general election. Desires of State Grange. The executive committee of the State Grange decided to instruct the legislative committee of the order to make an effort to secure the enactment of a statewide primary election law compulsory on all political parties, and the passage of a law providing for a non-partisan constitutional convention of delegates to be elected and not appointed. Efforts to promote the direct legislation program of the Grange will also be made. Mears Becomes Deputy. #Becretary of State Prescott has appointed Clarence J. Mears, of Kalamazoo, deputy secretary of state to succeed Charles & Pierce, who becomes clerk of the house during the sessions of the legislature. Mears has been chief clerk of the department for the past two years. > Safe, Sure and Speedy. No external remedy ever yet devised has so fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions as successfully as Allcock's Plasters. They are safe because they contain no deleterious drugs and are manufactured upon scientific principles of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into them except ingredients which are exactly adapted to the purposes for which a plaster is required. They are speedy in their action because their medicinal qualities go right to their work of relieving pain and restoring the natural and healthy performance of the functions of muscles, nerves and skin. Allcock's Plasters are the original and genuine porous plasters and like most meritorious articles have been extensively Imitated, therefore always make sure and get the genuine. French President's Double. M. Pallieres was until recently believed to be the only president of the French republic who had no double, but his counterpart has been found. The man who most resembles him physically is a respectable merchant of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays his part with decorum and dignity. Ho wears exactly the same kind of blue butterfly necktie with white dots as the president, the same kind of hat and exactly so oddly cut a beard. And on his promenades he is always accompanied by a friend who could easily be taken for the president's private secretary. Dignified and with measured steps the enviable double walks through the Faubourg Saint Honore and feels overjoyed at being saluted on all sides. We daily influence each other foi good or evil.

Ida. , ^ Comment That Stuat> The marquis of Lansdown, leader of unionist peers in the British parliament, speaks rarely but always with effect He revels in grave sarcasm. On one ocaslon Lord Crewe, the liberal leader, made a speech on a subject which he desired to leave a matter for open voting among his followers. Lord Lansdowne congratulated his friend on his eloquent speech. "I have followed it," he said, "with earnest attention not only on account of the importance of the subject but also on account of the noble lord's judicial attitude. I admired his earnestness and eloquence, but what impressed me most was his impartiality." A pause. "Yea, until the last minute I did not know on which side of the fence his lordship was coming down." ALMOST A 80LID SORE. In .Disease from Birth—fortune Spent,on, Her Without Benefit— Cured Her with Cuticur*. "I have a cousin in Rockingham Co. who once had a skin disease from her birth until she was six years of age. Her father bad -spent a fortune on her to get her cured and none of the treatments did her any good. Old Dr. Q suggested that he ,try the Cuticura Remedies which he did. When he commenced to use. it the child was almost a solid scab. He had used it about two months and the child was well. I was there when they commenced to use your Cuticura Remedies. I stayed that week and then returned home and stayed two weeks and then went back and stayed with them two weeks longer, and when I went home I could hardly believe she was the same child. Her skin was as soft as a baby's without a scar on i t I have not seen her in seventeen years, but I have heard from her and the last time I heard from her" she was well. Mrs.W. P.

A» a result of hit crime, Mrs. Mary Bondy lies at the point of death in Harper hospital, with a bullet in her lung. Mrs. Doyle is in the same ward with a bullet in her shoulder.

He tried to effect a reconviction, and It was his failure to induce fiW wire^to return with him that brought on the shooting, although the'immediate cause of the terrible deed was the demand of the mother that he not see the children again at the home. Doyle was but 26 and his bride a child of 16 when he led her to the altar in the little church in Cheboygan. He was an ardent lover but, according to the sobbing story of Mrs. Doyle, a year had hardly passed when he began to ill-treat her.

The purity of salt depends upon the source from which it is obtained and the sanitary conditions- under which it is prepared for the market. The supply of common salt, the most indispensable of all the seasoning substances both as a relishing condiment and a well-nigh universal food preservative, is exhaustless, yet even so there is salt and salt, says the Pictorial Review. Formerly salt was obtained by evaporating 'ocean water, a process that left many impurities in the residuum, to say nothing of its exposure to all kinds of dirt in its shipment from seaports.

Upon its arrival it is again handled, then packed in coarse burlap bags, permitting dust to sift into the salt. In this condition it reaches the consumer. Latterly, however, the product of salt springs has largely taken the lead in this country not only for table salt but for meat packing. The annual production from this source in the United States reaches more than 40,- ©00,000 bushels, the state of New York in the vicinity of Syracuse, furnishing a large proportion of this important supply. -" \ NEVER TIRES • I C M I.I No muss or failures made with PUTNAM FADELESS DYES; bright, beautiful colors a certainty.

The flavor of Grape-Nuts is peculiar to itself. It is neutral, not too sweet and has an agreeable, healthful quality that never grows tiresome. One of the sources of rheumatism is from overloading the system with acid material, the »esult of imperfect digestion and assimilation. As soon as improper food is abandoned and Grape-Nuts Is taken regularly, digestion, Is made strong, the organs do their work of building up good red blood celle and of carrying away the excess of disease-making material from the system.

There Is the primitive vtew which regarded the child as the essential factor In the system of ancestor worship; the later view, which made him the inheritor and contlnuator of the family honors and prerogatives; and the modern view, which looks «pon the child as so much living material for the society of the future. The classification serves a s a basis for the protest against the wastage of child life under the present system of production. Essentially, however, the three historical views are identical, In that they agree In looking upon the child as bearing within himself the seed of the ideal future, whether that ideal be to live la extra-terrestrial .bliss and In the memory of man, or fthe feudal ideal ^o* family, or the contemporary altruistic ideal of the perfect state. And it is by BO means certain that the last ideal is not the hardest on the child. It Is not only that some of us, in the name of prog* ress, are content to send the child into that Industrial slavery against which Prof. Adler pleads his case, says the New York Post; but that most of us, in recognizing the high mission of the young, persist in placing on their tender shoulders a heavy burden jof) responsibility. If we were* ancestor-worshippers or mediaeval barons, we should be quite content to leave our children in undisturbed enjoyment of their right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness; since in ^merely being they would fulfill their j W p o s e . But the modern child must not be left alone, because there is no such thing as a child in the same sense that there is a eat or a pony pr a picture-book. He is a "potentiality;" and there are pedagogical principles. "TV" INAUGURATION OF - GOVERNOR WARNER FOR 8ECONO TERM. A BRIEF, MANLY ADDRESS. The Oath Administered to too Governor, Propped Up la Bed, Made An Impressive Scene. With No Display. While his aged father, whose hair is whitened by the snows of eightysix winters, stood looking proudly on, Gov. Fred M. Warner took the oath of office at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon, bitting in bed supported by pillows. An invalid mother whose hands are palsied with age, but whose affection for her son is as strong and ardent as in the springtime of life, directed her gaze steadily towards the sick chamber where the governor was taking the oath to fulfill to the best of his ability the duties of the offlce'of governor of the state of Michigan. It was a remarkable scene. It is the first time a governor of Michigan has ever qualified for office while upon a bed of sickness. It was like the gathering of a little family circle. There was no pretense of a state function. It suggested a little home ceremony that might be of no significance, even to the neighbor In the next block. Instead of the boom of cannon to proclaim to the world that the chief executive of the commonwealth of Michigan had qualified for the office of high honor, there was only silence. Instead of the tramp of soldiers* feet, there were soft gliding footsteps and no one made a noise that could be avoided, for fear that the balance might be turned unfavorably to the governor's condition. When the ceremony was concluded the governor said: "I have no prepared speech, but I will always do the best I can, and try to do the right thing at the right time." Crime IMapsakaoi*. There was an aJCeoUag scene at the Bagiaaw poUca headquarters when Hattle Jubbe's father, a respected fanner of Brant towuBhip, called to see his wayward daughter who, in company with Bertha Konlecsk. is alleged to have been sent to Detroit from a Saginaw resort as a "white slave," -The girl broke down at the sight of her father, who bowed his head in silence, and her sobbing could he heard throughout the cell rooms. She lay ill upon her couch and the grief-stricken parent lifted her in his arms, too overcome to say anything for some time, and merely stroking her hair. The hardened characters surrounding the pair as well as the pplico attendants turned their heads. The girl wanted to be taken home and her father came for that purpose, but her physical condition is so serious that she could not be moved. She has been subjected to such treatment that her condition is truly shocking and she may never entirely recover. Miss Jubbe, her father said, Is but 16 years nld and had always lived an upright life until she came to Saginaw for employment. Gradually her visits home became less frequent and finally she ceased coming altogether and for some time her whereabouts were unknown. In fact, her discovery in Detroit was the first Intimation her father had of the real character of the life she was living. Miss Jubbe's name is assumed, and to protect the family her real name has been withhera. She says Mrs. Smith, the keeper of the local resort who is accused of accomplishing the downfall of the girls, paid their fares to Detroit, and that they were sent to the resort kept by the daughter of Mrs.,Smith, who is said to keep the former supplied with girls from Saginaw. The Detroit woman has fled and the authorities here are on the lookout for her. Both girls say that Mrs. Smith threatened to expose them to their parents if they disobeyed her and that she held all of their clothes except what they wore until they arrived penniless in Detroit, and were taken to* her daughter's place.

A great popular demonstration took place recently in Belgium. Over 60,- 000 persons marched through the streets of Brussels to the city ^hall to ask~for obligatory education. The* petition presented to the mayor was signed by 200,000 names. Nearly onefourth of the population of Belgium is Illiterate, although the law offers free education to those who cannot pay for it. There is supposed to be a primary school for every commune over 6,500, but only a meager grant is allowed, and the teaching is often of the poorest. The schools are managed by the cgmmune and not by the government, and any private place of instruction may be selected as the communal school. Education practically ceases at the age of 12; what was learned Is soon forgotten, and the relapse into ¾difference and ignorance is inevitable. The schools are inspected once a year. Although the technical schools of Belgium are fine, the primary system of this most crowded country in Europe is wholly bad. A Rare Battle. Thomas Traynor, of Battle Creek, sold Glen Bowers a horse for $140, and threw in a jug of whisky to bind the sale. Ths horse balked and when Bowers demanded his money back, Traynor said: jJAM right, where's the whisky." Bow4JFs could not produce the whisky, as it had already coursed through his system, and Traynor would accept no other liquor than his own, construing the law to ,read tha-t having accepted part of the goods sold and consumed them. Bowers was in no position to demand the return of his money. This unique case has been tried in justice court and in the circuit court, where a jury disagreed. For the past week it has kept the local circuit jury busy night and day, and still is unfinished. Each litigant has spent hundreds of dollars for counsel. ; The name of bridge probably grew out of the Russian word "biritch," which is called out when the player declares no trumps, says Scribner's. The appearance in England between -1883 and 1886 of a pamphlet on "bir- Uch," or Russian whist, failed to attract much attention at that period, hut during the ensuing ten years the present natural offshoot of the Russian form of play—one variety of which is called ieralasch, teralache, .velarash, by Sir Horace Rumbold— became ' everywhere quite a favorite pastime. The game is said by some to have originated at Athens, although it is known to have been played, practically in its present form, throughout Turkey, Greece, Egypt and along the Maritime Alps for actually more than 30 y^ears under the name of khedive. Both Were Drowned. In attempting to rescue Harry Valance, aged 14, from drowning E. R. Gibson, aged 42, principal of the school in Rlverdale, was drowned with t.Ae boy in Pine River. With Bradley Adams, Valance was playing on the ice and broke through. Adams ran to the residence of Prof. Gibson for help. The professor, in stocking feet and shirt sleeves, riuv^d to the river and broke through the thin ice, as he neared the drowning boy. The current Is swift there^ and the two were carried under the ice. Their bodies were recovered at once, but all efforts at resuscitation failed. Harry Valance was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Valance. Prof. Gibson had been teaching in Rlverdale three years and was very popular. He leaves -a widow and six small children, Counterfeiters Caught. v Another arrest was made In Port Huron Thursday in the alleged counterfeit plot owing to investigation, by United States secret service officers. Fred Black, aged 35, a hay buyer at Goodells, and well known throughout the county, Is the latest prisoner. He declares, however, that he had nothing to do with the alleged counterfeiting. Ottcers believe they have the leader of the gang in custody. The den in the "flats" district was searched and every article in the place was overturned by detectives. More tools and implements were found and more light was added when another can containing- several dollar pieces was found. Marshal Malnes expects to corral a big gang before he lets up and several more may be implicated before night self-defense. Conklin Talks. Melvin Conklin, the Lansing tobacco fiend, who is under arrest charged with shooting to death his brother recently, and who had maintained a stubborn silence ever since the crime, talked to the officers for the first time* Wednesday. He told a wild story about a woman having committed the crime, and says he knew nothing about it. Ho had started to commit suicide, he declares, and was Insensible from the effects of poison. - . . . "How'd you know your brother was dead?" asked Chief Behreadt , Thereupon Conklin began to. get sullen and ugly again. Congressman William Alden Smith was nominated for United States senator to succeed Russell A. Alger by the Republican legislative caucus Thursday night. It required but one ballot, which was the sixth, five without result having been taken last week. It stood thus: William Alden Sm^th 98 Charles E. Townsend. 2G Charles Smith : . . . - . . . . . . . . . 2 Arthur Hill "... 1 Mr. Smith's success was brought about by the McMillan supporters, who went to him In a body, after a conference in which the situation was gone over, and it was decided to throw their oopport to the Grand Rapids man, who had conducted a cle*an campaign and whose attitude had always been that of a friend. Mr. Smith subsequently made grateful acknowledgment of the McMillan support in his speech to the members of the legislature. Before the formal result '*»••*. announced , Senator Tuttle mtivea that Smith be declared the unanimous choice of the caucus and the motion was carried. Then came the cheering. Committees were appointed to escort the nominee and the defeated candidates to the speaker's platform, former Gov. Rich representing W. C. McMillan. Senator-elect -Smith was given an ovation when he appeared and was introduced by Senator-Pyfe. It was «everai minutes before he could proceed. He said: "This splendid compliment I little deserve. Mindful of my shortcomings, appreciative^ the ekUms of my friends, I cap. only 3&y to .you that from the bottoms of m f l i e a r f ' r thank you for this great honor?

I Shot Striking Rioters. The Mexican government announces* that it has the situation well-In hand at Orizaba, where strikers burned a factory store and looted business places and private residences on .Monday. The seriousness of the affair Is shown, however, by the fact that the troops were compelled to fire on the main body of rioters before they would disperse, killing 30 outright and wounding 80 more. This conflict took place at Nogales, near Orizaba. One body of strikers numbering 700 gathered on the railroad track and held up the Vera Cruz train for several hours, dispersing only when the cavalry arrived and charged them with broadswords. The Jails and armories are filled with imprisoned strikers. The whole of the property destroyed is estimated at $1,500,000, all belong* ing to Eduardo Garcia, a citizen of France. The dean of Canterbury relates this anecdote of his own school days: In the schpolhouse at Rugby, when he was there, new boys in the first winter term had.rto stand on a table and sing the "Brave Old Oak" before all the boys of the house, If they sang to the satisfaction j»f the house they were taken into it*'good-fellowship.

It is claimed that the contractors who have the construction of the M. C. R. tunnel on the Canadian aide of the river, have secured a number of men formerly enlisted In the United States army and stationed at Fort Wayne, Detroitr A soldier, who deserted, made the remark that since October 6 there had been 126 desertions of soldiers from the fort. Afte* the first ones got away safely they were followed by others and every day the number Is added to. "The good pay offered by the tunnel people for laborers, and the relief from irksome discipline is responsible for a majority of the desertions," said this soldier. Girl Missing. Iva Oberlin, aged 13, has mysterious, ly disappeared from the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Samuel Oberlin, in Ovid. The sheriff has been asked to try to locate her. Iva's father, Alfred Oberlin, is living in Virginia. Her mother's address is unknown, the father and mother being separated. Iva has not been seen since she went to visit a neighbor Tuesday night. Scstp and Ear T,om Off. Clinging to a beam near the robf of a barn, the 9-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Worcester, of Munith, screamed in agony while the shafting of a wind-power feed mill tore off her scalp and one ear. In play the child had climbed up among the rafters. Her head came in contact with the shafting before she was aware of its presence. The little girl was taken to Jackson hospital, after receiving temporary surgical attendance. An effort is being made at the hospital to Induce* the scalp to grow again over th<? skull. The skin was torn off from the bridge of the nose .backward, including portions of both eyelids and one ear. Doctors fear she will die. Speedy Resumption. Just four days after the big fire that ravaged the Detroit plant of the Michigan Stove Co. operations were resumed in the molding department. The promptness with which order wai brought out of a veritable chaos, has exceeded even the fondest hopes of the management. It is expected all of the various departments will be in op eratlon by the middle of next week. Increase of Men. Authority has been granted by the military board of the state for an increase m the number of infantry in the national guard -from sixty-five to eighty. It <is the opinion of national guard officers that the larger company !s an advantage in that it permits the training of a greater number of men and insures a representative turn-out when the organization is called on for duty. Secretary Preecott III. Secretary of State George A. Prescott, a possibility as a dark horse candidate for senator, is the latest member of the state administration to be taken ill. He was seized with a chill at 5 o'clock Wednesday night and went to bed at the Downey house. Auditor General Bradley at Eaton Rapids is still unable to arise, and Treasurer Glazier at ChelBea remains in his house with a severe cold. Mr. from desire, but because the hand of circumstance has laid him for the time under the care of his physician, I wish to express my sincerest admiration, my genuine respect and my undying affection as the result of his generosity and kindness to me in this contest." (Applause). A veritable lo-ve feast followed and addresses were made by Hon John T. Rich, Candidates Townsend and Hill. Following are statements made after the battle: William C. McMillan received the reports from Lansing last night over a special wire. He had retired when the news came, but was advised of the final outcome and heard the speeches following the nomination by means of the telephone. "I am very well satisfied with the result and have every reason to believe that the people of the state of Michigan also will be," said Mr Mc- Millan. "As far as I, personally, am concerned I believe that Mr. Smith is well qualified and will prove himself as valuable a man to the state in his office as a senator as he has been in his district as a congressman." Governor Warner said: "I am perfectly satisfied with the result I was confident that the members of the legislature would do that which was for the interests of the party and the state. "I believe the best backing in any contest is gooj true friends, and that Congressman Smith certainly had his share is shown by the result "No doubt he feels as highly honored because of that fact as he does in securing the nomination " Mr. Hill: "We kept friendship; that is a happy outcome of a rather lively campaign." . Mr, Townsend: "I am glad to join in ,?, * / I u m n h of a man who I believe, will do his duty to all the people with. out fear or favor." Three Hundred Drowned. A tidal wave has devastated some of the Dutch East Indian Islands south of Achin. The loss is very great. According to a brief official dispatch 300 persons perished on the Island of Tana, while 40 are known to have been drowned at the Island of Simalu. Achin, or Acheen, is the capital of Sumatra, and the islands mentioned are presumably small ones, as they are not shown on the standard maps of Oceanica. A few days ago European seismographs were reported as indicating a severe earthquake at a great distance. *K was then stated that the disturbance was probably in the South Pacific. It is quite likely that the shock cadfld the tidal wave which has caused so much damage. But the day worker acquires mora coin than the day dreamer. THE MARKETS.

She had been standing much like a statue, in guarded restraint, but at hia words and the touch of his hand she seemed to melt and flow into eager acquiescence, murmuring some hurried • little words of thanks for her father, and stepping by his side with eyes down. In words that were well-chosen but* somewhat hurried, he proceeded to instruct her in the three-fold character of the Godhead. The voice at first was not like his own, but as he went on it grew steadier. After she drew her hand gently out of his, which sho presently did, it seemed to regain it* normal and calmness. He saw her "to the. door qJ. the cabin on the outskirts of the .settlement and there he. spoke a few words of cheer to her ailing father. Then he was off into the desert, pacing swiftly into the grim, sandy solitude beyond the farthest cabin light and the bark of the outmost watchdog. Fever! shiy he walked, and far, until at last, as if naught in himself could avail, he threw himself to the ground and prayed. "Keep me good! Keep me to my vows! ' Help me till my own strength grows, for I am weak and wanting Let me endure the pain until this wicked fire within me hath burned itself out. Keep me for her!" Back where the houses were, in the shadow of one of them, was the flushed, full-breathing woman, hurt "but dumb, wondering, in her bruised tenderness, why it must be so. Jtill farther back, inside the stock- , where the gossiping group yet fingered, they were saying it was strange that Elder Rae waited so long to take him a wife or two. CHAPTER XII. ^ A Fight for Life. The stream of Saints to the Great , Basin had become well-nigh continuous— Saints of all degrees of prosperity, from Parley Pratt, the Archer of Paradise, with his wealth of wives, wagons and cattle, to Barney Blgler, unblessed with wives or herds, who put his earthly goods on a wheelbarrow and, to the everlasting glory of <Jod, trundled it from ' the Missouri river to the valley of the Great Salt Lake. Train after tratlvset out for the new Zion with faltb, that God would drop manna before them. One by one the trains worked down Into the valley, the tired Saints making fresh their covenants by rebaptism as they came. In the waters of the River Jordan, Joel Rae made hundreds to be renewed in the Kingdom, swearing them to obey Brlgham, the Lord's anointed, in all his orders, spiritual or temporal, and the priesthood or either of them, and all church authorities in like manner; to regard this obligation as superior to all laws of the United States and all earthly laws whatsoever; to cherish enmity against the government of the United States, that the blood of Joseph Smith and the Apostles slain in that generation might be avenged; and to keep the matter of this oath a profound secret then and forever. And from these waters of baptism the purified Saints went to their inheritances in Zion—took their humble places, and began to sweat and bleed in the upbuilding of the new Jerusalem. From a high, tented wagon in one such train, creaking its rough way down Emigration canyon, with straining oxen and tired but eager people, there had leaped late one afternoon the girl whose eyes were to call to him so potently—incomparable eyes, large and], deep, of a velvety grayness, under black brows splendidly bent. Nor had the eyes alone voiced that call to his starved senses. He had caught the free, fearless confidence in her leap over the wheel and her graceful abandon as she Hood there, finely erect and full-emrred, her head with Its Greek lines thrown well back, and her strong hands raised to read- * just the dusky hair that tumbled about her head like a storm cloud. . Men from the train were all about, and others from the settlement, and these spoke to her, some In serious greeting, some with jesting words. She returned it *H 1» good pert witkv •at embarrassment ew§a>- the aaUr of the winking wag • wfto called oat; "fcoeythen, Kara Carta! Here we are, and a girl ilka yourself ought to catch an Eider, at the'very- JowMt" She laughed with o W mduat^irV, still fumbling in thtffdusj of tWOfrrn heir at the back- of her heed, showing a rullSlpped month, beautifully large, with strong-looking, white teeth. "I'll catch never a one myself, if you please, Nathan Tanner! I'll do .no catching at all, now! I'm the one will have to be caught!" Her voice was a contralto, with the little hint of roughness that made it warm and richly golden1; that made it fall, .indeed, upon the ears of the listening Elder like a cathedral chime calling him to forget all and worship —forget all but that he was five and twenty with the hot blood surging and crowding and crying out in his veins. Now, having a little subdued the tossing storm cloud of hair, she stood with one hand upon her hip and the other shading her eyes, looking ints& tly into the streets of the new settlement. And again there was bantering Jest from the men about, and the ready, careless response from her, with gestures of an impishly reckless unconcern, of a full readiness to give and take in easy good fellowship. But then, in the very midst of a light response to one of the bantering men, Lzr gray eyes met for the first time the very living look of the young Elder standing near. -She was at •anal to aad Justly balancing tbe other. Bven. -,wl»ajL b#* 4Jeooarie4 firm the pulpit, bit gUac*' would tastes upon hara, aa If there won bat the one face before him YailaaT oTTTEoa-' sand, and ha kmwr that she mocked him In bar heart? knew she divined there wee that, within him which strongly would have had her and himself far away—alone. Nor was the girl's own mind all of a piece. For, if she flaunted herself before him, as if with an impish resolve to be hia undoing, there were still times when he awed her by hia words of fire, and by his high, deter* mined stand in some circle to which she knew she could never mount. That night when he walked with her in the moonlight, she knew he had trembled on the edge of the gulf fixed BO mysteriously between them. She had even felt herself leaning over to draw him down with her own warm arms; and then all at once he had strangely moved away, widening this mysterious gulf that always separated them, leaving her solitary, hurt, and wondering. She could not understand , It. Life called through them so strongly. How could he breast, the mighty rush? And why, why must It be so? During the winter that now came upon them, it became even a greater wonder to her; for it was common suffering—a time of dark days which she felt they might have lightened for each other, and a time when she knew that more than ever she drew him. * ™ aWS^^a* ^^^B'^w SSBSPVSW *MSSB^ aSj^pSSpa ^BBB* W^k) awasswesj .^^WB^a^aja>^F# ^ apaisyi# ^s^s^^ae. • ? • » .

But, his eyes keeping steadily upon her, she, as if defiantly, returned his look for a fluttering second, trying to make her eyes survey him slowly from head to foot with her late cool carelessness; but she had to let them fall again, and he saw the color come under the clear skin. He knew by these tokens that he possessed a power over this splendid woman that none of the other men could wield—she had lowered her eyes to no other but hlm~and all the man in him sang exultantly under the knowledge. He greeted her father, the little Seumas Cavan, of indomitable spirit, fresh, for all his march of a thousand miles, and he welcomed them both to Zion. Again and again while he talked to them he caught quick glances from the wonderful eyes-—glances of interest, of inquiry —now of half-hearted defiance, now of wondering submission. The succeeding months had been a time of struggle with him—a struggle to maintain his character of Elder after the Order of Melchisedek in the full gaae of those velvety gaay eyes, and in the light of her reckless, fulllipped smile; to present to the temptress a shield of austere piety which her softest glances should not avail to melt. For something in her manner told him that she divined all his weakness; that, if she acknowledged his power over her, she recognized her own power over him, a power For hardly had the feast of the Harvest Home gone by when food once more became scarce. The heavensent gulls had, after all, saved but half a crop. Drought and early frost had diminished this; and those who came in from the east came all too trustingly with empty meal sacks. By the beginning of winter there were 5,000 people in the valley to be fed. with miraculous loaves and fishes. Half of these were without decent shelter, dwelling under wagon covers or in flimsy tents, and forced much of the time to be without fuel; for wood had to be hauled through the snow from the distant canyons, and so was precious stuff. For three months the~cutting winds came down from the north, and thejjaJfittMav winter snows raged about 4a|a*1*{/Ja* inventory was early taken «)£ 4a*aw#x>dstuffs, and thereafter ratieast SNsJ* issued alike to all, whether rich or poor. Otherwise many of the latter must have perished. It was a time of hard expedients, such as men are content to ffvce only for the love of God. They ranged the hills and benches to dig sego and thistle roots, and in the last days of winter many took the rawhides from their roofs, boiling and eating them. When spring came, they watched hungrily for the first green vegetation, which they gathered and cooked. Truly* it seemed they had stopped in a desert as cruel In its way as the human foes from whom they had fled. The efforts of fafLfbain to^nt heart into the people were eUvsicoaded by Joel Rae. He w^4ddaifHke Brifhsun* but not feared. He preached Mice Brigbam submission te the divine will aa interpreted' bjr tb» priesthood, but he was mors extravagant than Brigham in hia promises of blessings in store for them. He never resorted to vagueness in his pictures of what the Lord waa about to do for them. He was literal and circumstantial to a degree that made Brlgham and the older men la authority sometimes writhe in public and chide aim in private. They were appalled at the sweeping victories be promised the Satana over the hated Gentiles at an early day. They suggested, too, that the Lord might withhold an abundance from them for a few years until he had more thoroughly tried them. But their counsel seemed only to inflame him to fresh absurdities. In the very days of their greatest scarcity that winter, when almost every man waa dressed in skins, and the dally fare was thistle roots, he declared to them at a Sunday service: "A time of plenty Is at hand—of great plenty. I cannot tell you bow I know these things. I do not know how they come to me. I pray—and they come to life in my spirit; that Is how I have found this fact; in less than a year states goods of all needed kinds will be sold here cheaper than they can be bought In eastern cities. Tou shall have an abundance at prices that will amaze you." And the people thrilled to hear him, partaking of his faith, remembering the gulls that ate the crickets, and the rain and wind that came to save the pioneer train from fire. To the leaders such prophesying was merely reckless, Inviting further chastisements from heaven, and calculated to cause a loss of faith in the priesthood. And yet, wild as It was, they saw this latter prophecy fulfilled; for now, so soon after the birth of this new empire, while it suffered and grew weak and bade fair to perish in its cradle of faith, there was made for it a golden spoon of plenty. 'Over across the mountains the year before, on the decayed granite bedrock of the tail race at the mill of one Sutter, a man had picked up a few particles of gold, the largest as big as grains of wheat. The news of the wonder had spread to the east, and now came freaaled hordes of gold seekers. The valley of the mountains where the Saints he/! hoped to hide was directly in their path, and there they stopped their richly laden trains to rest and to renew their supplies. The harvest of '49 was bountiful in all the valley; and thus was the wild prophecy of Joel Rae made sober truth. Many ot the gold seekers had loaded their wagons with merchandise for the mining camps; but in their haste to be at the golden hills, they now sold it at a sacrifice in order to lighten their loads. The movement across the Sierras became a wild race; clothing, provisions, tools and arms—things most needful to the half-clad, half-starved community on the shores of the lake—were bartered to them at less than half-price for fresh horses and light wagons. Where a J25 pack-mule was sold for $200, a set of joiner's tools that had cost $100 back in St. Louis would be bought for $25. The next year the gain to the Saints was even greater, as the tide of gold seekers rose. Early that summer they sold flour to the oncoming legions for a dollar a pound, taking their pay in the supplies they most needed on almost their own terms. This passing of the gold seekers was not, however, a blessing without drawbacks. For the Saints had hoped to wax strong unobserved, unmolested, forgotten, in this mountain retreat But now obscurity could no longer be their lot. The hated Gentiles had again to be reckoned with. •*r First, tbe United States bad e*>. m Deeded oc tbe west to indade tbetc^ territory—the fruit of the Mexican war—the poor Weak desert they were making to blossom. Next, the governmeat at Washington bad aenjt. to construe and asfcoinlsier their laws men who were aliens from the Com-.; monweasfb ef JaraeL True. Millard FUlmore -had appointed Brlgham governor of the new territory—but. there were ^ j j f c i e j ^ f r. ^U^tsvs^ax^mft astasia} ss^eVuw^^Ct^B)'^^^ J| aTsssw^ tlces, secretaries, attorneys, marshals, Indian agents from the wicked and benighted East; men who frank* ly disbelieved that the voice of !^r1#- ham was aa the voice of God, and who did not hesitate to let their heresy be known. A stream of these came and went—trouble-mongers who despised and insulted the Saints, awl returned to Washington with calumnies on their lips. It was true that Brlgham had continued? as was right, to be the only power in the territory; but the narrow-minded appointees of the federal government persisted in misconstruing this circumstance; refusing to look upon it as the just mark of Heaven's favor, and declaring it to be the arrogance ot a mere civil usurper. Under sucL provocation Joel Rae longed more than ever to be a Lion of the Lord, for those above him in the church endured too easily, he considered, the indignities that were put upon them by these evil-minded Gentile politicians. He would have rejected them forthwith, as he believed the Lord would have had them do,—nay, aa he believed the Lord would sooner or later punish them for not doing. He would have thrust them into the desert, and called upon the Lord for strength to meet tho storm that would doubtless be raised by such a course. He was impatient w £ n the older men cautioned moderation and the petty wiles of diplomacy. Yet he was not altogether discouraged; for ey^fc J#ey lost patience at times, andfwere almost as outspoken as he could have wished. The spring of '56 found them again digging roots and resorting to all the old pitiful makeshifts of famine. "This," declared Joel Rae, to the starving people, "is a judgment ot Heaven upon us for permitting Gentile aggression. It is meant to clench into our minds the God's truth that we must stand by our faith with the arms of war if need be." "Brother Rae is just a little mite soul-proud," Brlgham thereupon confided to his counsellors, "and 1 wouldn't wonder if the Lord would be glad to see some of it taken out of him. Anyway, I've got a job for him that will just about do it." Brigham sent for him the next day and did him the honor to entrust to him an important mission. He waa to go back to the Missouri river and bring on one of the hand-cart parties that were to leave there that summer. The three years of famine had left the Saints in the valley poor, ao that the immigration fund was depleted. The oncoming Saints, therefore, who were not able to pay their own way, were this summer, instead of riding in ox-carts, to walk across the plains and mountains, and push their belongings before them in handcarts. It had become Brigham's pet scheme, and the Lord had revealed to him that it would work out auspiciously. Joel prepared to obey, though it was not without aversion that he went again to the edge of the Gentile country. He was full of bitterness while he was obliged to tarry on the banks of the Missouri. The hatred of those who had persecuted him and his people, bred into him from boyhood, flashed up in his heart with more firo than ever.

Girnway of the Carthage Grays, two years after the exodus from Nauvoo, his first feeling was one of blazing anger against the mobocrats rather than regret for his lost love.

Many of the chiefs I4 the protectorate of Gambia wish to have their sons educated in the new Mahometan school of that region; but there was a bar to their full enjoyment of the education they were likely to receive, says a writer in the Tailor and Cutter. The pious Mahometan papas were afraid that the wearing of modern trousers was part of the school curriculum, and therefore they viewed the school with peculiar suspicion. The governor of Gambia reports that the parents have been assured that their children will not be converted rato "trouper men," and the prospects of the school are now very bright It would be interesting to learn how this suspicion of the modern nether covering arose, and whether the dry goods merchants denied tho natives tbetr ordinary asateeUl Bwt it nay be int that the BrrtttB* Highlanders to wear the kirt years after the battle of Culloden.

The art of starching was not introduced into England until the ingenuity of Dutch women in starching ruffs induced Queen Elizabeth to turn to them when she took to wearing cambric and linen cuffs. In 1564 Mistress Dinghein von den Plasse, the refugee daughter of a Flemish knight, came •with, her hmsband to London, according to an old writer, and set up an establishment for starching, where she not only plied her trade, but instruct- <ed English classes in her art. Lansing.—Gov. Warner is not to be sued by Senatorial Candidate Arthur Hill for toe alleged slander contained in the executive's statement that issued from Farmington. Though this course has been suggested, Mr. Hill «rill not take any such action, and in explanation of his attitude he gave these reasons: "Because he is our governor, lying on a sick bed unable to attend to ordinary business, and therefore entitled not to be seriously disturbed white in that condition. "Because the governor may have had information in the form of rumors which justifies him in hie original announcement. There remains, however,. this for his friends to do, namely, to file with the attorney general at once specific charges which affect the -method of my candidacy, in order that they may be legally Investigated in season to permit my reputation to stand unchallenged before the Republican caucus. SCALY ERUPTION ON BODY. Doctors and Remedies Fruitless—Suffered 10 Years — Completely Cured by Cuticura. **When I was about nine years old small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs, i scratched them with a brass pin and shortly afterwards both of those limbs became so sore that I could scarcely walk. When I had been suffering for about a month the sores began to heal but small sealy eruptions appeared where the acres had been. From that time onward I was troubled by such severe Itching that, until I became accustomed to it, Lwould scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. This mould stop the itching for a few days, but scaly places would appear ;again and the itching would accompany them. After I suffered about t e n years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of hOdy except my face and hands, beet doctors ip my native count y advised me to use arsenic in small and a salve. I then used to the sores in a mixture which almost intolerable pain! In additto* I used other remedies, such «* Iggne, sulphur, zinc salve, 'a *«V Ointment, and in fact I Uentinually giving some remedy * jfcir trial, never using less than «ssj^or two boxes or bottles. All tale was fruitless. Finally my hair toegan to fall out and I was rapidly *ecoming bald. I used *s , feat it did no good. A few months •after, having used almost everything -•ton, I thought I would try Cuticura -Ointment, having previously used -Cuticura Soap and being pleased with :It After using three boxes I was completely cured, and my hair was restored, after fourteen years of suffering; and an expenditure of at least 950 or $60 in vainly endeavoring to jBnd a cure. I shall be glad td write' t o any one who may be interested in my cure. B. Hiram Mattiagly, Vermillion, S. Dak., Attfrfo 1906." . rr» /If you are a gay, ott.dog you have right to whine. Sickness Among Statesmen. "The reports to the state department of health show an extraordinary and alarming Increase of la grippe and pneumonia," said Dr. Shumway, state health officer. "The recent weather has been extremely favorable to such allmentsTand when men are exhausted or excited and are exposed to such weather their danger Is especially great. The diseases have not yet spread to the magnitude of an epidemic, but conditions are heading that way." Not only were Gov. Warner and W. C. McMillan stricken down, the one with pneumonia, the other with la grippe, but Representative James D. Jerome, of the Wayne delegation, Representative Woodruff and Senator Traver are reported ill among the Mc- Millan men, Representative Benton among the Townsend men, and others, like Representative Erickson, will be kept away from the caucus by other causes. Auditor General Bradley is the most prominent of the victims to bronchial pneumonia. He i*-at home in Eaton Rapids, very, ill, unable to speak, accordlniPte reports received here."-v La grippe i» . tttfypMc^muolcabJe,) pneumonia etfremffir so. The cona>' tions in Lansing. M M been just as would.produce considerable spread of such diseases, for the great crowds that' have gathered here have been both excited and exhausted, and irkewjse exposed to the inclement weathen ^though some think the crowd of visitor's to Lanjiilg may be greatest seen since the laying of the capitol corner stone, others have figured that from 20 to 30 members of the legislature may be prevented by Illness from attending. No candidate is expected to be cheerful if this prospect develops, and unless some of the patients set well rapidly or are constrained to come here anyway, there may be another postponement. The crowds, as already stated, will be very great. From both Saginaw and Grand" "Rapids big crowds are looked for. The Grand Rapids traveling men will be here in big numbers, and the delegation from Saginaw will be much larger than that which came a week ago. Governor Must Be Careful. Gov. Warner's condition has no* been changed materially, although hie lungs are beginning to clear up and those nearest him are more hopeful for an early recovery. Dr. A. J. Miller said that it will be at least two weeks, If the improvement is steady, before the governor will be able to be out again, though he may be able to sit up within a week. Inasmuch aa his entire system is run down and his recuperative powers are below normal, the slightest setback will add days to his confinement. Hhi temperature varies around one degree above normal, with the usual morning and evening changes. He either reads, or has read to him, the headlines In the newspapers, but aside from this every feature of the strife is being eliminated from the daily program. Although solicitous of an early recovery, the governor is at times over-zealous, and the mental exertion caused by it is not conducive to the early fulfillment of his hopes. Dr. Miller is of the opinion that the state executive will have to be very careful of himself, even after he is able to resume the duties of his office. It is hoped that Gov. Warner may be able to leave his bed in another week if be has absolute rest and quiet. Dr. Henry J. Hartz, the Detroit specialist who was called to Farmington, says the governor's recuperative powers are beginning to assert themselves, although a constant low fever with a slight rise In the evenings, still hangs on. Dr. A. J. Miller, of Farmington, the governor's family physician, said that his patient was much improved. Mr. F. S. Neal is in full charge at the governor's home and handles all the business that would otherwise go to Gov. Warner. Mrs. Warner is worn out by constant attendance in the sick room, and is now getting a much needed rest, a Detroit trained nurse having complete charge of the patient. r, Grottoes and caverns are used more or l e u as shelters by primitive peoples and thus inhabited cayes are of course most frequent in Africa. A considerable number of natives make their homes In-caves along the south* ern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar and in somo of those eaves are found the polished stones and arrow heads of the stone age. Troglodyte voyages are frequent in the Tebessa territory of Algeria, one of which, at DJeurf, 250 feet above the gorge of the Wadi Hallail, is reached by steps cut fa the rock. The inhabitants of the Tunisian Island of Galite are cave dwellers, their habitations being: grottoes which they have dug out of the limestone, or ancient burial caverns that they have enlarged.

Tubbs was convicted of first degree murder and is serving a life sentetnee in Jack son. The murder coused a sensation. Implicated in the murder was the re spondent's father, Levi Tubbs, and his uncle, Charles Tubbs. George Tubbs demanded a separate trial, and the oth er cases are still pending. The victim of the crime was a drain contractor who had the job of constructing a drain across Tubbs' farm. Primary Election Law. It has been'determined at the sec retary of state's office that the new primary election law has no application in the coming nomination of candidates for justice of the supreme court and regents of the state university. While the Republican convention for these nominations has been called It was thought thaat possibly the law would apply to the election of delegates, but it does not and these are to be chosen in the old way.

McMillan of Detroit, son of the late Senator James McMillan, withdrew. Congressman Smith's nomination was^tffade unanimous amid great cheering.

Mr. Smith is owner df the Grand Rapids Herald. State Finds Position!. The report of the state employment bureau is out. It shows that since June, 1905, 1,985 applications for employment were received and that all One Woman's Pet Economy Certainly a Queer One. Women are proverbially niggardly on one or two points; every woman that ever existed had some pet economy, no matter how extravagant she may be in some reapects. There's the woman who spends hundreds of dollars on imported gowns, but hates to give up one penny for a paper of pins. The paper-saving person who drops into department stores and hotels to borrow stationery rather than spend any money upon the commodity always is with us; we ail know the stamp stealer and the match borrower; but the visiting-card economizer it a new brand of woman who exists c*ly in the most exclusive society. 9) niggardly is she on the point of bor visiting cards that she demands tSem back from her intimate friends; from her mere acquaintances she steals them at an opportune moment when the servaht/s back is turned, or when the mistress has left the room. She puts them slyly back into her card case. By a clever series of manipulations it is said she can make 100 of them go as far as 600 went be fore.

THE FIR3T TWINGE Of Rheumatism Calls for Dr. Williams* Pink Pills if You Would Be ^ " f l y Cured. Mr. FrankLftllVa well known ciU» zen of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich., was cured of a severe case of rheumatism by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In sneaking about it recently, he said: "My body was run down and in no condition to withstand disease and about five years ago I began to feel rheumatic pains in my arms and across my back. My arms and Tegs grew numb and the rheumatism seemed to settle in every joint so that I couldhardly move, while my arms were useless at times. I was unable to sleep or rest well and my heart pained me so terrlbjy I could hardly stand i t My surinach, became sour and bloated after eating and, this grew so bad that I had inflammation of the stomach. , I was extremely nervous and could not bear the least noise or excitement One whole side of my body became paralyzed. "As I said before, I had been suffering about flee years and seemed to be able to get no relief from my doctors, when a friend* here in Portland told me how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured him of neuralgia in the face, even after the pain has) drawn it to one side. I decided *• try the pills and began to see improvement soon after using tbi This encouraged me to keep o» until I was entirely cured. I have never had a return of the rheumatism or of the paralysis.

Hays, president of the Grand The railway facilities of Western Canada have been taxed to „:tfre uttermost in recent years to transfer the surplus grain crop to the eastern markets and the seaboard. The large Influx of settlers and the additional area put under crop have added largely to the grain product, and notwithstanding the increased railway facilities that have been placed at the disposal of the public, the question of transportation has proved to be a serious one. It will, therefore, be good news to everyone interested in Western Canada to knpw that an authoritative statement has been given out by C. ers were received, and of these only 3,129 were not filled. Labor Commissioner McLeod speaks in high praise of the work done by the bureaus. To Reduce Railroad Rates. In the legislature bills were introduced to establish two cents per mile as yie maximum passenger rate in the lower peninsula and three cents per mile in the northern peninsula, over all railroads where the passenger earnings annually exceed $1,000 per mile. These measures were recommended by Gov. Warner in his message to the legislature. "T Seeks Change In Law. A bill providing for the repeal of the Bailie limited liability law was introduced by Senator Russell, of Kent. The Bailie law makes it impossible for one to collect for the pain and suffering of another killed by an accident but merely for the actual loss to the plaintiff by the death of the victim. t v. State Supervisors' Associatton. The annual meeting of the State Supervisor's association will be held in this city February 8. Charles H. Kitnmerle is a leading member of the association, and it is expected there will be another railroad assessment to be discussed by the date of the meet* ing. Trunk Pacific Railway, that that railway will do its share towards moving the crop of 1907 from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to tide water, and thus assist in removing a serious obstacle which has faced the settlers during recent years. Mr. Hays, who has just completed a trip from Portage la Prairie to Edmonton in a prairie schooner, a distance of 735 miles, which was covered in eighteen days, is enthusiastic about the country. This will be gratifying to settlers in the Canadian West even if Mr. Hays declines to be bound to a time limit with the exactitude of a stop-watch. The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be in a position to take part in the transportation of the crop of 1907, and that will be satisfactory to the settlers in that country when the harvest is garnered. The wheat crop of 1906 in Western Canada was about 90,000,000 bushels, and, with the Increased acreage which is confidently expected to be put under crop next year, it is safely calculated that fully 125,000,000 bushels will be harvested in 1907. The necessity for increased transportation facilities are, therefore, apparent, snd the statement made by Mr. Hays will bring encouragement to the farmers of the Canadian West, new and old. The opening up of additional thousands of free homesteads is thus assured by the agent of the Canadian Government, whose address appears elsewhere.

The plant, the main part of which was ail stories in bight, and extended from Jefferson avenue toward the river to Wight street—a distance of three blocks, with half a block frontage— was practically destroyed, the main onlce being the only part of the structure left intact at the time the fire was gotten under control. George H. Barbour, general man* ager of the company, estimates the loss at considerably beyond $400,000, the amount of the Insurance. It may be more than $500,000. Through the burning of the plant 2,200 men are thrown out of employment, and the fire removes from Detroit's municipal map one of its oldest and most honored business institutions. Death in violent form came to one man and,several oth,er persons were &»ore or less seriously injured. The dead man's body lies unidentified at the county morgue—the others are being cared for at various Institutions. Despite the fact that their great plant was almost swept away by fire, the officials of the Michigan Stove Co. immediately began preparations to rebuild and resume operations. General Manager Barbour said, as he stood by the smouldering ruins: "Our. engineer informs me that the power of the plant remains intact. The engines and boilers are practically untafrrtd, and we shall go to work to re- " totlieV as rapidly as possible. The 9*4* office fronting on Jefferson ave- 'UM, the display room, the foundry and one storage building remain in very good Bhape. It is difficulty this time to estimate the loss. It may be anywhere from $500,000 to $750,000. In exact figures our Insurance is $380.- 000." There is absolutely no clue as to the) origin of the fire. It started at a most inopportune time of the day; at a time when a great many of the firemen were at supper. Educated Himseff. William D.

Hints for the Pipe Lover* The Canadian Cigar and Tobacco Journal gives some hints to those who smoke pipes. Everybody thinks he knows how to smoke a pipe, but to do it perfectly is not easy. "Time is a keynote of successful pipe smoking," says the Journal, "and another is gentleness. Take it easy. Don't crowd the pipe to the top of the bowl. Never get a pipe hot. Keep cook and keep your pipe cool. You can relight a pipe, and If you are an old smoker you will be all the better for It When yon have finished do not refill a heated pipe." Always to Be Depended Upon. When a person gets up in the morning with a dull headache and a tired, stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain indication that the liver, or bowels, or both, are decidedly out of order. At such times Nature, the wisest and best of doctors, takes this means to give warning that she needs the help and gentle assistance which can best be obtained from that old family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use for over a century. They are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used when doctors were few and far between, and when people had to have a remedy that could absolutely be depended upon. Brandreth's Pills can be depended upon, and are sold-in every drug and medicine store, plain or sugar-coated. HEAD8 SHAPED TO ORDER. German Doctor Explains Causes of VaHeue Formations. At a recent convention of German naturalists and doctors Dr. Walcher, of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper put forth a sensational theory to explain the formation of the shape of the head of infants, He maintained that the head of a child could be molded artificially. He found by experience that when a medium-shaped head is placed in a soft cushion the child turns on its back, or rests on the back.of its head, in order to free mouth, nose and face. In this manner the head rests smoothly, and a short head is developed. But if the mediumshaped head of a child is placed on a hard under-rest, like a hair mattress or' rolled carpet, the child's head turns aside, as it cannot stand any more on its head than an egg, for the muscle of the back is weakened. Therefore, with continued resting on the side a long head is developed. To prove his assertions the lecturer presented a child whose mother and sister are short-headed. The child at its birth had a short head, now after IS months it Is long skulled. If the child had been placed on its back, according to other experiences its head would have been short-shaped. Dr. Walcher did not deny that the shape of the head was inherited, but asserted that it could be greatly influenced by the way the child' rested. COSTLY PRESSURE. Survived the Pressure'. Burled under a mass of two or three tons of slate, Conrad Kuendinger, a miner employed at the Whatcheer shaft, Bay City, could scarcely breathe, and could not call out. He lay for 45 minutes pinned to the earth until discovered by a coal driver. It required 15 minutes to release htm. Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee. A resident of a great western state puts the case regarding stimulants with a comprehensive brevity that is admirable. He says: "I am 56 years old and have had considerable experience with stimulants. They are all alike—a mortgage on reserved energy at ruinous interest As the whip stimulates but does not strengthen the horse, so do stimulants act upon the human system. Feeling this way, I gave up coffee and all other stimulants and began the use of Poatum Food coffee some months ago. The beneficial results have been apparent from the first. The rheumatism that I used to suffer from has left me. I sleep sounder, my nerves are steadier and my brain clearer. And I bear testimony also to the food value of Postum—something that is lacking in coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

Since my first arrival in America X have held that the real spirit is idealistic and that the average Individual American is controlled by idealistic impulses. Those who may contradict me can not have sounded the depths of the philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson, or studied the life and read the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, and considered their far-reaching effect on the American people. In Lincoln's great character nothing can be more striking than the way in which he combined reality and the loftiest ideal, with a thoroughly practical capacity to achieve that ideal by practical methods. This faculty seemed to give him a far-sighted, almost superhuman vision, which enabled him to pierce the clouds obscuring the eight of the keenest statesmen and thinkers of his age—Baron Speck von Sternburg, In Forum.

"When I was taken down my mother would cut from the cake of yellow •oap in the kitchen a chunk about aa big as a chestnut. " 'Now, sonny,' she would say, 'swelter this,' and aoe'd hold the yellow mortal In thumb and forefinger close to my ttpa. "I'd begin to whimper. The smell of It and the Idea of the lather that would form in my mouth—the lather I'd have to swallow—would fill me with despair. But my mother was inexorable. With stiff lips I'd take the soap Into my mouth, I'd <hew the toft and slippery stuff a little and then, with a groan and a dreadful gulp, I'd swallow it. Horrors!

About 150 editors, with tbeir wires, daughters or sweethearts, were present and passed very pleasant and profitable afternoon and evening. Ontside of those who have made history a study, are probably none who realize that Monroe was one o tbe first places settled in this state. Tt is noted the sttte over, and in fact in several other states, as a "nursery city,r and well it may be, for there is bat tew it any other places in the United States where tbere are larger or better nurseries. Tbe Press Clnb were tbe guests of tbe D. U. R from Detroit to Monroe, a social car being placed at their disposal by the company. Tbey left Detroit at 1245 and arrived in Monroe at abont 2 o'clock*, where they were taken in tow by tbe recaption committee and given a souvenir ribbon, with a real Indian arrow attached. Twenty carriages were at once provided for and a trip was made through the town. A. 8. Bragdon, Jr. of the Record- Commercial, was eyery where pres ent to see that every member of tbe Press Clnb enjoyed themselves. The first stop was made at the borne of General Caster at Monroe and Second street, and in which tbe party was deeply interested; the Monroe Foundry & Furnace Co., where souvenire were distributed; Memorial place where the state erected a monument (or tbe brave Kentucky soldiers wbo fell at the massacre of tbe Raisin, 1813; Altenbeim institute, erected for aged Lutheran people; the homestead of Col. Francis Navarre, where Gen. Winchester is thought to have taken refuge after the massacre; the Monroe Stone Co., where a battery blast was arranged and discharged and 50 car loads of stone was released. One of the interesting places visited was the large paper and cardboard factory where, not only tbe cardboard is made but the same is made up into boxes of every description all printed ready for the articles they ate to contain.

BUILT OF FOSSIL BONES. Queerest House in the World Is In Wyoming. "The queerest house in the world." said a zoologist, "is undoubtedly the famous Bone cabin of Wyoming, near the Medicine Bow river. This cabin's foundations are built of fossil bones. "Bones of dinosaurs jaws of the diplodocus, teeth of the brontooaurus, knuckles of the ichthyosaurus, vertetbrae of the camarasaurus, chunks of the barosaurus, the cetiosaurus, the brachiosaurus, the stegiosaurus, the the printholestes or bird-catching dinosaur— all entered into this wonderful cabin's foundations, making it the most curious and the most costly edifice, not excepting the Pennsylvania capitol, in America. "This hut was built by a Mexican sheep-herder, who ha4 happened by chance on the grandest extinct animal bed in the world. This was a plot of about 50 yards square wherein lay in rich profusion the bones of all the animals of the reptilian age. The heaviest and the lightest, the largest and the Bmallest, the most tranquil and the most ferocious lay side by side. "The place was evidently once a river bar, and Jthe dead bodies that floated down the stream were here arrested, to lie for hundreds of thousands of years till a sheep-herder came along, and, rooting among the bones as big as bowlders, set about the building of the world's queerest cabin." A woman gets almost as much satisfaction out of a good cry as a man does out of a "smile." W H I T E BREAD gimlwqt §isftaUk r*4Xft U A v a s t * * Fnfe <-vr * nKCKXXT, MICH1QAJ Make Marriage En^aaemanta PubJte. About the only practicable improvement in marriage is that suggested by a Kansas legislator; who is going J» Introduce a bill compelling the publication of marriage engagements for 30 days preceding the ceremony. This, of course, is already the Custom in some circles of society, where marriage engagements are , invariably made public. Among the Jews , engagements are regarded as only one degree less sacred than marriage itself. In Europe the laws of most countries compel the publication of banns of marriage, so that the whole community is made aware.that matrimony is contemplated and any impediment to the match may be discovered. But among a large majority of people in the United States no 4uch provision is made. Hasty marriages are frequent, and even when engagements are of some length they are not always acknowledged. This, of course, makes deception easy, and even crime. A man may marry 40 wives, as Hoch did, says the Chicago Journal, and unless some unusual circumstance irises he may escUpe detection. A law compelling the publication of marriage engagements would undoubtedly lessen the evils attending matrimony in this country. If for 30 days before the knot is tied the news were circulated and discussed by everybody interested, many a bad marriage would be prevented and much suffering would be avoided. Marriage is a very important event in human life, and the state should take every means to make it safe. No Good Definition of Death. Tests fcu^ death occupy considerable space in medico-legal literature, and yet they leave much to be desired in the way of certainty. There is astonishingly little evidence that anyone is ever burled alive, and even if true, suffocation would prevent regaining conscionaaABav The stories of suffering revealed by opened coffins are merely old wives' tales of stormy winter evenings when weird shadows were cast by the fireplace, but they have created a popular idea that burial alive is common and that we must have a sure test for death. Yet there is no good definition of death, and we can never have a test for the unknown. To Loeb and his school, life of protaplasm is merely the total of its reactions BB a chemical machine— a theory already venerable with age, but no nearer proof than it was 2,500 years ago. Resuscitation of those apparently dead has been fairly common, declares the American Medicine. The startling thought has been announced |fciat perhaps they were really deadf*u|»isyihe body had ceased its : activities tnrd "team work" was end- ! ed. It was like a factory in which work had stopped, but the workmen were still standing around idle though ready to begin if the machine were started again.

A lady in a Wis. town employed a physician who instructed her not to eat white bread for two years. She tells the details of her sickness and she certainly was a sick vmnan. "In the year 1887 I gave out from overwork, and imtil 1901 I remained an invalid in bed a great part of the time. Had different doctors but nothing seemed to help. I suffered from cerebro-spinal congestion, female trouble and serious stomach and bowel trouble. My husband called a new doctor and after having gone without any food for 10 days the doctor ordered Grape-Nuts for me. I could eat the new food from the very first mouthful. The doctor kept me on Grape-Nuts and the only medicine was a little glycerine to heal the alimentary canal. "When I was up again doctor told me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day»aad no white bread for two years. I got well in good time and have gained in strength so I can do my own work again. "My brain has been helped so much, and I know that the Grape-Nuts food did this, too. I found I had been made ill because I was not fed right, that is I did not properly digest white bread and some olker food I tried to Jive on. "I have never been without Grape- Nuts food since and eat it every day. You may publish this letter if you like so it will help someone else." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

One glance'at'the long low corridor of Santa Barbara Mission, of San Juan Capistrano; another at the solid adobe walls of such a house as the old Morris residence in Los Angeles, and you know where the modern American California found the models upon which she has based many of her most beautiful buildings, says Travel Magazine. If the mission fathers from Spain had not built their missions on that coast; if their followers had not built their adobe houses surrounding the misslqns, the Californian of to-day would have a different style of architecture. Mr. Lewis-James, the leading barytone in the Moody-Manners Opera company, a noted English organization, has had an interesting history. He was born in Aberdare, South Wales, and went to work in a coal pit when he was 12 years old. He sang in local concerts and competitions which are popular among the Welsh, and eventually achieved such prestige in his homo neighborhood that he waB urged to study music seriously. This he did for two years, while continuing his work as a coal miner. Then the Carl Rosa company visited Cardiff, and Mr. James sang privately for the director, who engaged him at once for three years, and afterward he Joined the Moody-Manners company.

A year ago Prof. Butler made a trip to Ger many. He breakfasted with the kaiser and sug gested an interchange of professors which has since resulted in President Roosevelt sending as American educator to a Berlin university. Prof Butler's observations led him to believe that Ger many's recent wonderful advances are due tc "fads" in the schools. He said: "I believe In what are called the fads and frills—In other words, the teaching of physical culture, of manual training, of drawing, of that which trains the hand and eye. There is a growing sentiment in favor of such education and within ten years the personnel of the teachers will be so changed thai these branches will be generally adopted. They will be taught, too, not to a perfunctory or lackadaisical way, but by teachers who believe in them^It will, of course, be hard for those instructors who were brought up with th* idea of teaching only certain things to follow thlB new idea."

"They moved down to Jackson county, Missouri, too," concluded nit informant, thus adding to the flame. They had gone to set up their home In the very Zlon that the Gentiles with so much bloodshed had wrested from the Saints. Even when the first anger . cooled and he could face the thing calmly In all Its deeper aspects, he was still very bitter. While he had stanchly kept himself for her, cherishing with a single heart all the old memories of her dearness, she had been a wife these seven years,—the wife, moreover, of a mob-leader whose minions had put them out of their home, and then wantonly tossed his father like a dead branch into the waters. She nad loved this uniformed murderer— Ills little Prue—perhaps borne him ,. children, while he, Joel Rae, had been all too scrupulously true to her memory, fighting against even the pleased look at a woman; fighting—only the One above could know with what des perate valor—against the warm-hearted girl with the gray eyes and the ted lipB, who laughed In her knowl edge that she drew him—fighting her away for a sentimental figment, until •he had married another. Now. when he might have let him aelf turn to her, his heart freed of the image of that yellow-haired girl ao long cherished, this other was the wife of Elder Pixley—the fifth* wife— and an unloving wife as he knew. She had sought him before the mar riaga, and there had been some whoUy frank and simple talk between ta«a% It had ended by his advising aarto marry Elder Plxley so that sha night be saved into the Kingdom, and by her replying, with the old rsekleet laugh, a little dry and strained, and with the wonderful gray ayes Mil upon him,—"Oh, 111 marry "him! Small difference to me what man of them I marry at all,—now!" And while he, by a mighty effort, had held down his arms and let her turn away, the woman for whose memory- he'd4d.it Whs the wife Of tfrff enemy, caring nothing for his fidelity, sure to feel not more than amused pity for him should she ever know of it. Surely, It had been a brave struggle—for nothing. But again the saving thought came that he was being tried for a purpose, lor some great work. And now it aeemed that the time of it must be near. As to what it was there could be little question: it muBt be to free his people forever from Gentile aggression or interference. Everything pointed to that.

He put hiriorcfc to the tindev of Irreligton at tjjfefljafffunga? jaeating after his return; There weteno premonitions, no warnings, no signs. A few of the^Elders had preceded him to rejoice at the escape of the last handcart party from death in the mountains; and Brigham, after giving the new<spjn.exs_ some practical hints about their shelter during the winter now upon^tSathiiifcao' invited Elder Rae to addresB the congregation. He arose and came uncertainly forward, apparently weak, able hardly to stand without leaning upon 'the desk in front of him; his facie waxen. and drawn, hollowed, at the cheeks and temples, his long hands thin to transparency. Life was betrayed in him only by the eyes. These burned darkly, far back under his brows, and flashed fiercely, as his glance darted swiftly from side to side. At first-he spofce weakTy and slow- ''" ly, his opening words almost inaudible, so that the throng" of people before him leaned forward in sympathetic Intentness, and silence became ^absolute in the great hail except for the high quavering of his tones. But then came a miracle of reinvigoratlon. Little by little his voice swelled ^¾^ until it was full, sonorous, richly warm and compelling, the words pouring from htm with a fluency that enchained. Utile by little his leaning, drooping posture of weakness became one of towering strength, the head flung back, the gestures free and potent Little by little bis burning eyes seemed to send their flash and glow through all his body, so that he became a»/r6itui* oTJlfe and .Ire, ~They4ee«d eaee word aew^but sttti they leaned forward as when he spoke at first, iaaudibly—caught thrilled and breathless in his spell, eves to the Elders, Priests, and Aposttes sitting near him. Nor was his manner aione impressive. His words were new. He was calling them sinners and covenant- breakers, guilty of pride, covet* ousneas, contention, lying, stealing, moral uucieanness—and launching upon them the curse of Israel's God unless they should repent Such was the opening gun In what became known as the "reformation." The conditions had been ripe for It and in that very moment a fever of repentance spread through the 2,000 people who had cowered under his words. Alike with the people below, the leaders about him kacUbeen fired with his spirit and when he sat down each of them arose in turn and echoed his words, denouncing the pecpie for their sins and exhorting them to repentance. After another hour of this excitement priests and people became alike demoralised, and the meeting broke up in a confusion of terror. As the doors of the tabernacle flew open, and the Saints pushed out of that stifling atmosphere of denuncialike the arms of tome automaton of a?, which hie mind bad control Not until night fall did the hymns cease and the crowd dwindle away.

He leaned oyer on the fence, but to his amazement that swayed, too, and threw him hack. Then he felt himself falling toward the street; but the creaking steps ceased, now by his side, and he felt under him something soft but firm— something that did not sway as the fence had unaccountably done. With his balance thus regained, he discovered the thing that held him to be a woman's arm. A woman's face looked close into his, and then she spoke. "You are so cold. I knew you would be. And I waited—I wanted to do for you—let me I" . He Put Out His Arms and Drew Her to Him. tion, a cry came to the lips of the dozen that *first escaped: "To the river—the waters of baptism!" The words were being taken up by others until the cry had run back through the crowd to the leaders, still talking in excited groups about the pulpit. These comprehended when they heard It, and straightway a line of conscience-stricken Saints was headed toward the rlvex: There in the icy Jordan, on that chUl December afternoon, when the snows lay thick on the ground, the leaders stood and burled the sinful ones anew in the cleansing waters. From the sinners themselves came cries of self-accusation; from the crowd on the banks came the strains of hymns to fortify them for the icy ordeal and the public confession. There in the freezing current stood Joel Rae until long after the December sun had gone below the Oquirrh hills, performing hfs office of baptism, and reviving hope in those his wprdn had smitten with fear. His strength already depleted by the long march with the hand-cart party and by the exhausting strain of the day, he was early chilled by the water into which he plunged the repentant sinners. For the last hour that he stood in the stream, his whole body was numb; he had ceased to feel life in his feet and his arms worked with a mechanical 'stiffness At once there came back to" him the vision of a white-faced woman; in the crowd along the river bank^ staring at him out of deep, gray eyes-sunder heavy^ black brows. "Mara—Mara!" "Yes, yes—you are so cold!" "But you must not stand so close— see, I am wet—you will be chilled!" "But you are already chilled; your clothes are freezing on you; and you were falling Just now. Can you walk?" "Yes—yes-rmy. house la yonder." "I know; it's far; it's beyond the square. You must come with me." "But your house is still farther!" She had, started him now, with a firm grasp of hii arm, walking beside him in the deep snow, and trying to keep him in the narrow pat?h. "No—I am staying here with Hubert Plimon's two babies, while tho mother has gone to Provo where Hubert lies sick. See—the light there. Come with me—here's the gate—you shall be warmed." Slowly ancr with many stumblings, leaning upon her strong arm, he made his way to the cabin door. She pushed it open before him and he Kit the great warm breath of the room rush out upon him. *^Then he was inside, Bwaylng again uncertainly upon his feet. In the hovering light that came from the fireplace he saw tho bed in the far corner where the two small children were sleeping, saw Mara with hTe r back to the door, faclnjr him breathlessly, saw the heavy shadows all about; bat be was conadous of hardly more than the vast heavenly warmth that rolled out from -the-fire-and enfolded Mm. ami made him drank. 4 -+•* c "Again he wlfcd lftre fallen, but she steadied him down on to a wide coach covered' with buffalo robes, beside the Si***fireplace; and'here he fell at once into a stupor. She drew "bet the couch* so that it caught mere or the heat; palled off the watersoaked boots'and the stiffened coat, '"wrapped him in a blanket which she warmed before the fire, and covered him still.agaia with one of the .buffalo robes. She went then to bring food and to make a hot drink, which she strengthened with brandy poured from a little silver flask. Presently she aroused him to drink the hot liquor, and then, after another blank of stupor, she aroused him again to eat He could take but little of the food, but called for more of the drink, and felt the soul of it thrill along his frozen nerves until they awoke, sharpened, alert, and eager. He lay so, with closed eyes a littla time, floating in an ecstasy that seemed to be half stupor and half of keenest sensibility. Then he opened his eyes. She was kneeling by the couch on which he lay. He felt her soft quick breathing, and noted the unnatural shining of her eyes and lips where the firelight fell upon them. All at once he threw out his arms and drew her to him with such a shuddering rush of power that she cried ajpud in vquick alarm—but the cry was smothered under his kisses. For ages the transport seemed to endure, the little world of *his senses whirling madly through an illimitable space of sensuous light, his, lips melting upon hers, his neck bending in the circle of pulsing warmth that her soft arms wove about it, his own arms crushing to his breast with frenzied fervor the whole yielding splendor of her womanhood. A moment so, then he fell back upon the couch, all his body quivering under the ecstasy from her parted lips, his triumphant senses rioting insolently through the gray, cold garden of his vows. And then, as he lay so, there start ed wkth electric quickness, from some sudden coldness of recollection, the Image of Prue. Sharp and vivid it shone from this chill o/. truth like a glittering star from the clean winter sky outside. Prue was before him with the tender blue of her eyes and the fleecy gold of her hair and her joy of a* child—her little figure shrugging and nestling In hla arms in happy faith—calling ^ a s Bhe had called to him that morning—"Joel— Joel—Joel!" He shivered in this flood of cold, relentless light, yet unflinchingly did he keep his face turned full upon the truth it revealed. He sat up on the couch, looking aboufr the little room curiously, as one recovering consciousness in strange surroundings. Then he began slowly to pull on the wet boots that she had placed near the fire. When he stood up, put on his coat, and reached for his hat, she came to him, hesitating, timid. "You are so cold! If you would only stay here—I am afraid you will be sick." He answered very gently: "It is better to go. I am strong again, now." "I would—I would not be near you —and I am afraid for you to go out again in the cold." He smiled a little. "Nothing can hurt me now—I am strong." He opened the door, breathing his fill of the icy air that rushed in. He stepped outside, then turned to her. She stood in the doorway, the light from the room melting the darkness about them. ae» t- T h e y looked loag at each Then in a sodden Impulse of fiatfe tade, of generous feeling toward her, he pot oat hla arm and drew her *» him.

As she stepped back and closed the door, a man, who bad halted by a tree in front of the next house when the door first opened, walked oa again. It had been a great day, bat tor one cause or another, it came near to being one of the last days of the man who had made it great Late the next afternoon, Joel Rae was found in his cabin by * messenger from Brigham. He had presumably lain there unattended siaoe the night before, and now he was delirious and sick unto death; raving of the sins of the Saints, and of hi* great work of reformation. So tenderly sympathetic was his mind, said those who cante to care for him, that in his delirium he ranked himself among the lowest of sinners, in. 3*0*. Imploring them to take him out and bury him in the waters of baptism so that he might again be worthy to preach them the Word of God. He was at once given every care* and for six weeks was not left alone night or day; the good mothers in Israel vying with each other in kindly offices for the sick Elder, and the men praying daily that he might not be taken so soon after hts great work had hegun. The fifth wife of Elder Pixley came once to sit by his bedside, but when she heard him rave of some, great sin that lay black upon his soul, beseeching forgiveness for it while the tears rained down hiB fevered face, she had professed that his suffering sickened her so she could hot stay. Thereafter she had contented herself with inquiring at his door each day— until the day when they told her that the sickness was broken; that he was again rational and doubtless would soon be well. After that she went no more; which was not unnatural, for Elder Pixley was about to return from his three years' mission abroad, and there was much to do in the community- house in preparation lor the master's coming. But the long sickness of the young Elder did not in any manner stay the great movement he had inaugurated. From that first Sunday the reformation spread until it had reached every corner of the new Zion. The leaders took up the accusing cry,—the Elders, Bishops, High Priests, and Counsellors. Missionaries were appointed for the outlying settlements, and metings were held daily in every center, with a general renewing of covenants. Brigham, who had warmly seconded Joel Rae's opening discourse, was now, not unnaturaly, the leader of the reformation, and in his preaching to the Saints while Joel Rao lay sick he committed no faults of vagueness. For profane swearing he rebuked hla people: "You Elders in Ismel will go to the canyons for wood, got a little brush-whipped, and then curse and 6wear—damn and curse your oxen and swear by Him who created you. You rip and curse a3 bad as any pirates ever did!" For the-sin of cattle-stealing he denounced them. A fence high enough to keep out cattle-thieves, he told them, must be high enough to keep out the Devil.

Strength has nothing to do with hands, or rather, it is a distinct drawbeck to their acquirement. The weakling must use other means to attain his ends; the strong man disdains the delicate effects which make for everything of the best in horsemanship. A little SO-pound boy will control perfectly a rattle-brained race horse that no man could hold by main strength; a slight woman will guide four horses as few men can—it is the combination of the attributes named that enables them to do i t Appropriate bitting haa much to do with success, but the novice is apt to I proceed to tho extremes of severity I in his desire to get that delicacy of ! touch and promptness of responso ! which he thinks should follow sharp restraint. The reterse of this should always be the rule, and the horso ; should be constantly tried with lighter bitting effects until the least possible restraint is employed. Hands and mouths vary from day to day, according to various circumstances of ! irritability and sensitiveness, and no one arrangement is likely .0 be for the bast interests of both biped and quadruped.

R Stackable, who is U. S. Emigrant collector for the Hawaiian Islands and is now in England. As Ed. was a former Piuckney boy our readers will be inteiested. London, Eng., Dec. 30, 1906. Dear father and all the family: I have not had a letter from tbe old home for months, but I trust that you are all enjoying good health. I hear that my first steamer with about 1340 persons on reached Honolulu on Dec. 1, after a sea trip of about 14000 miles, and all went well I am pleased to say. This charter of the steamer alone cost 151,225 and other expenses ran up to about a total of 167,400. This is quite a small sum of money. I landed this lot about 135 a head less than any other lot of Emigrants that have been shiped to Hawaiian from the same place and counting the men only at about $120 per man than any previous lot. The passports cost about $12 now and they cost but $5.75 when the brevious shipments were made and with this handicap, I am glad to say that I have made a record that will stand for some time. I have been in Italy, ( R o m e ) France, (Paris) Spain, (Madrid) and in several of the smaller cities in each of the countries named, and have seen a good deal of Europe, but I would like very much to see Honolulu. It snowed here in London on the morning of the 26th, about 6 inches and has been sndWing off and on ever since. The most severe weather, so I am told, since 1881. I have been granted another leave of absence for three months, or till May 7, 1907. You cannot ship Emigrants like you can freight, and the responsibility one assumes when he signes a charter for a steamer involving, say, $50,000.00 rests rather heavy on ones shoulders. Am now trying to secure a suitable steamer to send to Malago, southern Spain, for January 30th, to carry from 1500 to 2000 Spaniards to Honolulu, and am having a most difficult thing t6 find a proper steamer at reasonable rate, although there are steamers enough at anchor in Southampton and London if placed eud on end I believe to reach from the home to Pinckney at least. Steamer after steamer from 590 to 650 ft. long. This is a most lonely large city, and I never thought I could get so homesick at my age as I have been here. Hoping this may find you all well and happy aud wishing on e and all a Happy New Year, I remain your loving son. E . R. S. Deem* Beetlwa* Drone beetles have a reputation for weather wladom anioug country folk, who regard a flight of beetles UB M si an Of flue weather. M. Fabre, u Frvnc!i naturalist, wishing to ascertain ir tlita supposition was correct, cuged a number of beetles. One flue eveulng v, Lion everytnlug Indicated equally tine weather for the following day not a fceetle flew about. In fact, <lurh>£ the Ulght u bturua broke on', ami mi.i fell all uext day. Another <' 'Hug, vliere there were ID signh of i.:i-.» vvi*:!hi'i\ the beetles flew about hi all directions. Daring the night the clouds vanished, and next day there was brilliant sunshine. According to M. Fabre, drone beetles during three mouths are living barometers, more deserving of credence than physical instruments, their keen sensitiveness to tfie electric tension of the atmosphere being much greater than that of mercury. It has even been demonstrated that drone beetles are affected by atmospheric disturbances a long way off and that they sometimes grow restless when there is a storm more than sixty miles away. Wise Counsel from the South "I want to give some valuable advise to those who si ffer with lame back and kidney trouble," says J. R. Blackenship of Beck, Tenn.

Spanis!i Voltaire, who is said to have written over 1,000. Fortunately foi sonnet lovers some of the best poet^ have been prolific sonneteers. Petrarch, who created the classic model whicli Inter i>oetB imitated, wrote 818. Cam oens is responsible for 352, Sir Philip Sidney wrote 108, Spenser 88 and Dan^e 80. English sonnets were first written by Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503--1:2> and Henry Howard, earl of Surrey (1517-47(wAnd the first appearance of any in book form was In a rare publication briefly known as "Tottle's Miscellany," the full title being "Songs and Sonnettea written by the Right Hon ours Lorde Henry Howard, late Earle of Surrey, and other."

The connection between earthquakes and luminous paint would hardly be apparent to any one without explanation. It nevertheless exists, and the use to which it Is put invests it with the utmost importance just for the few critical moments of the shock.

In Manila it is laid on In patches about the bedrooms and stab cases, serving as guides for the doer handles and the stairs, night lights being considered especially dangerous, as likely to set Are to the falling houses and thus to roast the inmates In their •wn homes.

A, Sigler's drug store. Monroe and Muskrats a carnation and all were treated to an , apple of the "lady apple'Variely, and , it is claimed there is only one * tree in existence. The fruit was small like a crab apple but of a very fine flavor. This is tbe nursery for which Burt Rodgers is tbe agent who is so well kno«n here. Perhaps tbe most interesting and pleasant place visited was St. Mary's Academy and College where we were made most welcome by Mother Superior and her assistance. It. was tbe brst organization ever invited as a body to visit tbe community aud the honor was much appreciated by the guests. An entertainment of marked excellency had been arranged for the visitors, and was t/iven by tbe students of tbe college in the auditorium of the institution. { After the entertainment tbe guests were shown through the different halls, study rooms, art gallery, private rooms etc, and the students were on tbe lookout for friends from borne, Ye editor and daughter were tbe especial quests of the Misses Kubn, of Gregory, Jiiss Brogan, of Stock bridge, and Miss Bessie Bonn, of Detroit, At tbe visit to tbe Greening Nursery offices light refreshments were served, tbe ladies were presented with fine boxes of bon bons, and every one ' was given a "Baby .Rambler" rose : bush as souvenirs. It was already dark when tbe party was taken by the M. & M. club to the Mace a bee Temple where a banquet j was served th m. Monroe's fame in the banquet line has been disseminata j ed from tbe Atlantic to the Pacific of late years owing to the unique "Musk- j rat" fests, which its Yacth Club makes ! an annual feature, and tbe fact that. it is the home of tbe Lotus, that beautiful flower being found in its natural j state only here and on tbe river Nile. | While tbe LotuB was not in blossom { during our visit the juicy muskrat was j fully ripe and in evidence. Although j the average editor tails in a good many I points to qualify as a yajhtman, yet on this occasion tbe succulent and; toovh8orue muskrat formed one of the principal features of the menu. There was a trifle ot hesitation on tbe pert ol some of the editorial fraternity about making any gustatory attempt upon the morsel, probably the misnomer "rat" may have had something to do wi*b it, but their squearaishness was speeily overcome and these who had neyer before made acquaintance with the little game animal as an article ot food very soon became enthu asist.s and unblushingly demanded "more." Many a guest took home a "wish bone'1 as a souvenir. The taste of the meat is similar to the wild duck and equaly as good. At 9:30 the guests took the car for the return trip with many pleasant thoughts of the trip to one of the oldest cities of the state. While not the largest trip of the press club it certainly was one of the most pleasant, and the people of Monroe will always have, a warm place in the hearts of every member present.

Order la slowly coming oat of chaos In the stricken city of Kingston* although there is still a very great and , distreaelng shortage of both water and food supplies. The former is the greateat immediate danger, so far aa the survivors are concerned, as It is a very difficult task for the officials to keep, the ignorant negroeB from drinking the water that is in the stagnant pools oil the outskirts. However, as rapidly as possible. Gov. Swettenham is driving the survivors away from the city to temporary camps, and they will be kept there until the debris can be cleared away and the houses that still stand be made fit for habitation. At the request of the British government, Admiral Davis landed a party of sailors and marines from the Missouri - and Indiana. Co-operating with the British forces available, these troops have made great headway, with the exalted populace. Partial martial law prevails, -but the military is being used principally to direct the work of clearing away the ruins. Dynamite is being used tb blow tip the wreckage. : The assuTance that several shiploads of supplies are on the way has inspired hope and patience, and the general outlook accordingly is distinctly favorable. It Is now feared that the death list will total close to 2,000. An official report just issued says that over 700 bodies have been burled, that the remains of 1.017 more have been identified and that many more are still missing. News from the navy department at Washington that no Americans had been killed or injured in Jamaica up to Thursday night has been received by B. G. Chapman, of Detroit. Mrs. Chapman, her son Ben, and her sister, Mrs. R. H. Higbee, of St. Louis, were in Jamaica at the time of the earthquake. Philip H. Gray will sail for Jamaica Monday, in search of his mother, Mrs. John S. Gray, and Miss Emma ^Hayward, ttt^ess they are heard frqm before "<vTonday. E. DonaKTTlobeHS fears for the safety of his father, Edmund D. Roberts, Hartford, Ct,, who is in Jamaica. Ralph W. Armstrong has heard nothing from his brother-in-law, William B. Clark, but has noticod the names of two of his friends in the list oHbe injured. With the crest of the flood not yet in sight and a prospect of a near approach to the immense loss from high water of February, 1884, attempts were made to estimate the losses Irosn this present flood in Cincinnati and environs. • - . . , *« .. The commission houses, which are principally located In the lowland! now under water, have already suffered damage estimated at $100,000. Many thousands will be lost by factories through enforced Idleness and unproductiveness, and more than 40,000 idle men will lose their wages, during the continuance of the present bigb, stage of the river. Not less than 16,000 people have been driven from their homes in Cincinnati and in the Kentucky suburbs, most of them being forced to depend on charity for their food and lodging. Nearly 50 squares in Newport, over a dozen in Covington and a large section in the east and west ends and in Mill Creek sections of Cincinnati are under water. These are conservative estimates of present conditions and suffering, and the worst is yet to come. "Above 65 feet" is the conservative prediction of the official forecast aB to the probable crest of the flood, but the report from up the river caused him to express a fear this afternoon that much worse was in store. The immense stretch of the river, silently and remorselessly carrying before it all manner of property, was watched all day by thousands of people from both banks and from the high buildings, while streauoua efforts were made by hundreds of men to carry to places of safety those whose homes had been invaded by the flood, or some of the household,.effects from the flooded homes..For better handling relief work, Mayor Denipsey this afternoon divided the city into four relief sections. Reports from river cities both above and below Cincinnati continued to come in with pleading for help and food. Some of the nearer flooded town refugees came to this city and are lodged wherever quarters coirhi be found. Portsmouth saw the breaking of the flood embankments and the people fled in terror to the highlands. The high water from the Scioto is being added to the flood in the Ohio at that point, that and the flood from the other tributaries holding back the regular high water from higher up the river so that the second rise seems sure to overtake the wain flood and increase its damage. , j A lift Sarajrin for 12 Cents Postpaid.

The possibility of life without mind, while not subject to positive proof, is a theory that has gained considerable strength recently through, its advocacy by Dr. L. Laloy, librarian of the Academy of Sciences, Paris. He believes that many of the smaller living organisms, such as insects, are mere moving machines, having no more intelligence than may be ascribed to plants. He refers to the well known fact that insects are attracted by light, often to their own destruction, and ascribes it to the same cause that inclines the plant to grow toward the light ST.

Covered with Yellow 8orea—Grew Worse—Parents Discouraged—Cuticura' Drove Sores Away. Deacon Allen Sheldon, who rerently passed away, was universally respected by all who knew -him, and his stories were listened to with much delight, says a writer in the Boston Herald. Ifo used to tell the following **ith a great deal of interest: When a very small boy he asked his father to let him go with him to the iown meeting. He went, with the promise that when he returned he jvould tell the folks what happened. ^ In those days the church was sup- { Sorted by a tax on every property jpolder. Whatever of interest came up or the church had to be voted on at he town meeting. r The pastor being feeble and his woice not strong, an article In the town warrant called for the removal Of the sounding board from over the getstor's head, since It acted as an extinguisher, and not as originally planned. When Allen returned he told his mother about the sounding board, and said: "Mr. Flagg got up and said, in his squeaky voice: 'Mr. Moderator, I make a motion that we remove the sound from under the board.'" Thoroughly Reliable. If ever there was a reliable and safe remedy It is that old and famous porous plaster—Allcock's. It has been in «se for sixty years, and Is as popular to-day as ever, and we doubt if there Is a civilized community on the face of the globe w^icre this wonderful pain reliever cannot be found. In the selectlon* of the ingredients and in their manufacture the greatest care is taken to keep each plaster up to the .highest standard of excellence, and so pure and simple are the ingredients that even a child can use them. Allcock's are the original and genuine porous plasters and are sold by Druggists all over the world. .— S W - IM you want to see a man act silly "hunt" UD one who is jealous. Nineteen Killed, Thirty Injured. A car of powder on the Big Four siding at SandTord, lnc\, exploded Saturday night wrecking a west bound passenger train. The wreckage was burned. The freight train carrying the car of i>owdcr also was destroyed. Nineteen persons were killed and thirty injured. A boy who walked to the wreck from St. Marys. Ind., reported that nearly every one of the passengers was killed. The boy also reported that the car of powder was sending over S' new pipe line from thev»Jasey, 111., field; that gas had been-escaping from the pipe and had probably filled the ear of powder. Sparks from the passenger locomotive arc supposed to have ignited the gas and caused "the explosion of the powder. Navigation, so Louisville reports; is at a complete standstill from Pittsburg to Cairo, and little hope Is held out for an early amelioration of conditions. It is estimated that more than 2,000 people are homeless on "The Point,'' and in Shippingport alone, and the exodus from these two low-lying suburbs continues. The city council will appropriate money to relieve flood sufferers. Foraker's Bluff. Senator Blackburn on Thurhday "called" Senator Foraker's bluff of yesterday wheh he disclaimed any intention of attacking the president in his resolution calling for an investigation of the evidence in the discharge of the negro troops in the Brownsville" affair. Senator Foraker said he did not care as to the language*** the resolution, that the scope of his resolution was not such as to bring into the investigation the question of the president's power. Senator, Blackburn offered an amendment to Foraker's resolution, disclaiming any intention on the part of the senate' to question the president's right 4to discharge the negro troops., __ Senator Foraker, however, opposed the amendment and immediately entered upon a speech denying the president's power. It is believed that the amendment will delay the final vote on the resolution. Does Not Want the Money. Vice-President Fairbanks doesn't want, his salary raised. He has told Senator Cullom, of the senate conference committee on the legislative appropriation bill, that he will think it a favor if the conference committee stands out against any attempt to have retained in the bill the house provision which raises the salary of the vice-president to $12,000 a year. Mr. Fairbanks' request puts the committee in a queer box.

"Our little girl, one year and a half old, was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor called it. Wo called in the family doctor, and he gave some tablets and said she would be all right in a few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. 2. He said she was teething, as soon as the teeth were through she would be all right But she still grew worse. Doctor No. 3 said it was, eczema. By this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said he could help her, so we let him try it about a week. One morning we discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 3.

The president thanked his friends in a voice broken with emotion, and tears actually streamed down his cheeks as he finished his little speech. The late French president, M.

The album, which is of enormous size and richly bound, contains not only cuttings, but photographs and illustrations of all kinds.

A complaint which had serious results was paid to an actor named Hanson at a little mining town in British Columbia. The audience was so stirred by Mr. Hanson's acting that some persons began throwing presents uson the stage, like speculators at a Spanish bullfight. One burly miner, having nothing else handy, hurled a lump of gold ore. Unluckily it hit the actor on the head and knocked him down, He was badly inured, and it was weeks before he was able to play again. Perhaps the oddest idea of paying a compliment belongs to a tribe of , Indians on the Alaskan coast.

Before bis illness his hair was luxuriant, but after it a bald spot began to show, which was noticed by a deputy, who spoke to him about it. "Pardon me,, Jim," he said, "but you are getting bald, and you know a head of hair like yours is* quite a novelty these days." , .

M i M M p i 5E «K5SB« ***** SENATOR EGER IS LIFE CLOSED IN HIS WASHINGTON HOME SUDDENLY THURSDAY MORNING. FAINTING SPELLS GIVE WARNING. T h e Funeral Services in Washington and Detroit W e r e of Plainest Character. Unostentatious l i k e H i s D a i l y Life. Senator Russell A. Alger, of Michigan, died suddenly at his home in Washington at 8:45 o'clock Thursday morning, following an acute' attack of oedema of the lungs. Both Mrs. Alger and his son, Capt. Frederick M. Alger, were with him at the end. Dr. Gerry Morgan, Senator Alger's physician, in discussing the latter's death, said: "Gen. Alger had suffered {or a good many years with chronic valvular disease of the heart, but of late he seemed to be a good deal better. Thursday morning he awakened as usual about 7 o'clock and about 8 o'clock got up and went about the roopxfor a few minutes. Then he lay down and was at once stricken with acute oedema of the lungs. Ten minutes after he was stricken he watt unconscious and did not regain consciousness. His death was qutet and apparently painless." Dr. Clayton was called in, but the senator was breathing his last at that time. It is said Senator Alger has had fainting spells at times that gave warning of the end. but the call was more sudden than had been expected. The senator, too, had recently beenfeeling so much improved that he had planned a farewell reception to celebrate his retirement from public life, the invitations for th>s" we*e prepared and addressed and ready for the mails. It wa*-Ttb hare- occurred February 5. The guests to be bidden to it included the vice-president and many senators, the members of the cabinet, the diplomatic corps, the speaker and most of the Michigan people now in Washingtor's friends in private life President Roosevelt, as soon as he was told of Senator Alger's" death, wrote a letter to Mrs. Alger and sent It to the Alger home by. special messenger. It was a note of deep sympathy and appreciation of the general's services to his country. In accordance wit* Mrs. Alger's wishes, no public funeral service was held in the senate chamber. There was a service at the residence at 2 o'clock Saturday and Rev. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the senate, and Rev. Dr. Radcllffe, of the New York Avenue Presbyterian cliurch, which Gen. Alger attended, conducted the bervlces. The body arrived in Detroit Sunday. By request of Mrs. Alger, Col. Frank Hecker took charge of the funeral arrangements in Detroit, which consisted of religious service at the Alger family homestead at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. The house upon receiving notification of Ihe fact adjourned out of respect to the memory of the late senator. The war department issued a special order on the death of Gen. Alger recalling his services as a soldier and as secretary of war, and that as a mark of respect to the deceased the flags at all military posts of the country be lowered to half-mast on the day of the funeral. The session of the senate was held entire!*/ with reference to the death of Senator Alger. Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale delivered a special prayer, after which the reading of the journal was interrupted • by*"Senator Burrows-, »who present*** resolutions expressing the regret and sorrow of the body at the sudden death, and providing for a special committee of 12 senators to represent the senate at the funeral and attend the body to Detroit, to be composed of the following senators: Burrows, Fry, Daniel, NeV son, Warren, Spooner, Scott, Dillingham, Foster, Patterson, Dick and Crane. ' .V Gov. Warner Thursday aftertfbon issued a formal proclamation on the death of Senator Alger. A message was ton as well as a number of the sena-„,sent to both houses of the legislature, also a proclamation which ordered all flags on public buildings at half-mast and the suspension of business in the state departments on the day of the funeral. -•*- • At the opening of the house Thursday afternoon the proclamation of the governor was read, and then Rep. Joseph M. Weiss, the Wayne member of Senator Alger's last senatorial committee, was recognized. Mr. Weiss presented a concurrent resolution on the death of his old chief, which was adopted by a rising vote. world has a straat-or square to suflteieat unto Ifr self and to largely a separate chrte entity aii to Times Square. Probably ad place of Its tit* has such a large transient population. If one counts the persons who dine or attend theatrical performances at the square. It to estimated that close to 1,000,000 persona traverse the square every day, and there run through it In the oouree of the day about 1,600 street cars and over 600 subway trains. Times Square embraces, of course, the junction of Seventh avenue and Broadway, and is properly bounded on the south by the Times building and on the north by the south, side of. Forty-seventh street. If one traverses tfia blocks in this territory, scrutinising the stores and buildings along hi* path, he ,will f£u<Lflve theaters, two hotels, three drug stores, two candy, shops, four automobile stores, ten restaurants, two florists, six saloons, five cigar stores, three real estate offices, three tailors, three jewelers, three cleaning shops, two harness makers, two milliners, and two modistes. Then there are*.a bank, a fruit store,, a shoe shop, a pawnbroker, a carriage maker, a piano store, an express company, a pawn ticket sfUer, a furrier, a haberdashery,, a Jsundry, and even an oldfashioned blacksmith's shop. There is also a drug store in the Times building and various shops there conduct a rushing business in the quiet .corridors below the level qt the roaring street. In addition the Hotel Asto* conducts a private furniture shop, a carpenter's shop, and a silversmith's, shop, where its thousands of Knives, forks, and spoons are replated ev%xy tew months. The Hotel Knickerbocker is likewise a center of perpetual activity. It would appear that everything calculated.to make life comfortable might be obtain on Times Square, but one may range the square over without Ending any grocery or butcher's shop. It is estimated that fully 8,000 persons are fed at Times Square every night, including dinners and suppers. There is such a diversity of eating places in the square that one may sit at a counter, and dine for ten cents or spend $1,000 on a meal. Any evening one may find jwrsons from all partB of the world dining at the restaurants that surround the square. Times Square never sleeps. Even at the city's quietest hour, just before dawn, when most good, citlsens are safely tucked under the bedclothes, groups of stragglers are coming from the big all-night restaurants, cabs are rumbling over the asphalt, and here and there,big motor cars are whirling by. The busiest time on the sqtuue, however, begins at twilight and closes at midnight The business day of the square officially ends about midnight! when the night branch of the bank in the square closes its doors. •B" r f Sm m*** IS* '•-• TnaOpayJiale flanw * i l r a r l * I^noil-Jiow doe!

Sosaeilme* his grievance would have a personal basis, as when he told then; "I have gone to work and made roads to the canyon for wood; and 1 have cut wood down and piled it up, and then I have not got it I wonder if any of you can say as much about the wood I have left there. I could tell stories of Elders that found and took my wood that should make professional thieves blush*. And again X have proof to show that Bishops have taken thousands of pounds of wheat in tithing which they have never reported to the general tithlng-oflice,— proof that they stole the wheat to let their friends speculate upon." Under .this very pointed denunciation many ef the flock complained bitterly. But Brigham.only increased the flow of his. wrath upon them. "You need," aaidtfce* "to have it rain pitchforks, tines* downward, from this pulpit, Sunday after Sunday." Still, there Were rebellious Saints to object, and, as Brigham drew the lines of his wrath tighter, these became more prominent in the community. When they voiced their discontent, they angered the priesthood. But when they indicated their purpose to leave the valley, as many soon did, they gave alarm. An exodus must be prevented at any cost, and so the priesthood let it be known that mjgrfr tions from the valley would be censlds <ored m aotals* Has than apostasy. In B*1g«*aVs own Words: "The moment 41 tmm ttejgenvto leave this people, w i s ewt at? tresn every object that is desirable in time or eternity. Every possesion and object of affection' will be taken from those who forsake the truth, and their identity will eventually cease." But, as the reform wave swept on, it became apparent that tftesevwords had been considered merely figurative by many who were about to seek homes outside the valley. Prom every side news came privately that this family or that was preparing to leave. And. so it came about that the first Sunday Joel Rae was able to walk to the tabernacle, still weak and wasted and trembling, he heard a- sermon from Brigham which made him question his own soul in an agony of terror. For, on this day, was boldly preached, for the first timmia Zion, something which had never before been more than whispered among the highest elect,—the doctrine of bloodatonement-— of human sacrl&ce. Under his discourse JoeYjRae sat terrified, with a bloodies face, cowering a« he had niade ejther* to cower six weeks before. The words seemed to carry his own preaching to its rightful conclusion; but now how changed was hjs world? ~ a whirling, sickening chaofiof sin and^ remorse. As&e listened to Brlgham's words, picturing theM>k>od oJ th*. sinner smoking oe the ground, h|e thougMs fled back «n that night,—that sight of wondenus light and warmth, the last he could remember before the great blank came. Now the votoe of Brigham came to him again: w Und eln*os* all things are by the law purged with blood; and without Jstfieitlta* of.hiood tt .-ftp remission T" Then the service ended-, and he saw Bishop Wright pushing toward him through the, crowd. "Well, well, BrotheiSj,Rae--*iyou; do look peaked, for sure! But yoifftpick up fast enough, and just in time, too. Lord? what won't Brother Brigham do when the Holy Ghost gets a strangleholt 0*1 him? Now, then," he added, In a lower tone, "if I ain't mistaken, there'sjgoing to be some work for the 8onspf Dan!" ' s' " whither al the aspirations e* his~s<mi njgedhtm. - ^ ^ ^ ; ...- •!'••' And then.^l in a day or in a night, though he had seen never » tunl in the road4, though he had* gone a true end straight course, suddenly he had looked jup to find lie was headed the opposite way. After facing his goal so long, he was now going from ft—and never a turn! It was the wretched' paradox of a dream. - The day after Brigbam's sermon on blood-atonement, there had been a meeting la the Historian's' office, proaided over by Brigham. And here for the first time Joel Rae found he was no longer looked upon as one too radical Somewhat dazedly, too, he realized at this, close range the severely practical aspect* of much that he had taught in theory. It was strange, almost unnerving, to behold bit own teachings naked of their pulpit rhetoric; to find his long-cherished ideals materialized by literal-minded, practical men. He heard again the oath he had sworn, back on the river-flat: "I will assist in executing all the decrees of the First President, Patriarch, or President of the Twelve, and I will causa all who speak evil of the Presidency or Heads of the Church to die the death of dissenters or apostates—" And then he had heard the business of the meeting discussed. Decisions were reached swiftly, and orders given in words that were few and plain. Even had these orders been repugnant to him, they were not to be questioned; they came from an infallible priesthood, obedience to which was the first essential to his soul's salvation; and they came again from the head of an organization to which he was bound by every oath he had been taught to hold sacred.

Then the soul o* William Paxrisii,^* Springville, waa saved. to eternal glory; also thejaoul of his son, Beneon. For both of these sinful ones were on the verge of apostasy; had plotted, indeed, and made secret pre> araUons to leave the valley, all ef which were discovered by church emissaries, fortunately for the eternal welfare of the two seat concerned. Yet a few years later, when the hated Gentiles had gained some shadow of authority in the new Zion, their minions were especially bitter aa to this feat of mercy, seeking, indeed, to indict the performers of i t Aa to various persona who met death while leaving the valley, opinion was divided on the question ef their ultimate salvation. For it waa announced concerning these, as their bodies were discovered from time to time, that the Indian* had killed them. It was now that Joel Rae became conscious that he was facing directly away from the glory he had so len& sought and suffered for. Though as yet no blood for Israel had been, shed in his actual presence, he had attended the meetings of the Sons of Dan, and was kept aware of their operations. It seomed to him in after years that his faculties had at this time been In trance. He was seized at length with an Im- -v | CHAPTER XIV. How the Souls of Apostates Were 8aved. The Wild Ram of the Mountains mad spoken to-day; there was work at i hand for the Sons of Dan. When his Witness at last came to Joel Rae, he tried vainly to recall the working of his mind at this time; to remember where he had made the great turn— where he had faced about For, once, he knew, he had been headed the way h * wfched.tp to, a long, plain road, reaching ilajigH frwaei tan Ait -Which Wife Did Von Uy-* "dazed;- disconcerted, and^puzsled, he was by no means certain that they were repugnant. They were but the \ ierfffftte ex*enjft»^oJ TA turning* since childhood, and of his own preachings . In custody at Kayesville, 25 miles north of Salt Lake City, were six men who had been-arrested by church authority while on4 their way east from California. They were suspected of being Federal spies. The night following the meeting which Joel Rae had attended, these prisoners were attacked while they slept. Two were killed at once; two more after a brief struggle; and the remaining two the following day, after thwy had been pursued through the night. The capable Bishop Wright declared in confidence to Joel Rae that it reminded him of old days at Nauvoo. The same week was saved Rosmas Anderson, who had incurred rejection from Israel and eternal wrath by his misbehavior. Becoming submissive to the decree of the Church, when it was made known; to him by certain men who came in the night, it was believed that his atonement would suffice to place him once more in the household of faith. He had asked but half a day to prepare for the solemn ceremony. wife; rags***** *«t 4ta* ta^tfco. pulse to be away from 1* *U* A s *&* days went by with their tragedies, he became half wild, with restlessness nni I Jtrangedfeaf of •hwaeif.^aa spite of his lifelong training, he knew there was wrong in the air. He could not question the decrees of the priesthood, but this much became clear to hi mf,—that only one thing could carry with it more. poaaibiUeies of evil than this course of the Church toward dissenters— and that waa to doubt that Brigham Young's voice > waa aa the voice of God. Not yet could he bring himself to this. But the unreasoning desire to be away became so strong that he knew he must yield to it. 'Turning this in.his mind one day he met a brother Elder, a man full of zeal who had lately returned from a mission abroad. There had been, he said, a great outpouring of the spirit in Wales. "And what a glorious day has dawned here," he continued. "Thank God, there is a way to save the souls of the blind!

But you think it over, and talk to me about it when yon come back. It's high time yon waa building up your thrones and dominions in the Kingdom." He started south the next day, riding down between the two^mojmtain ranges that bordered the valley, atopping at each settlement, breajhjng more freely, resting more eaafty, an each day took him farther away. Yet, when he closed his eyes, there, like an echo, waa the vision of a woman's face with ebining eyes and lips,—a vision that after a few seconds waa washed away by a great wave of t*od. : - . - . ' But after a few days; certain bits of news caught up with him that happily drove this thing from his eight for a time by sarring within hi* all his old dread of Gentile persecution. First be heard that Parley Eratt, the Archer* of Paradise and one of the Twelve Apostles, had been fojjtyy murdered back in Arkansas whireseeking to1 carry to their mother the children of his ninth wife, The. father of tfaese ^children, so his informant reported, had waylaid and shot him. Then came rumors of alarge wagon* train going south through- Utah on to way to California.

Yon see, Brother Pixley came back with me, after doing great works abroad. Naturally, he came full of IOYO, for his wives. But he hjid been herd only a few days when' he became convinced that one of them had forgotten hlmfe something m her manner made him suspect it, for she was a woman of singularly open, almost recklessly open, nature. Then a good neighbor came and* told him' that one night, while on .hie way for the doctor, he had seen this woman take leave of her lover—had seen the man, whom he could not recognize, embrace her at partings He taxed her with this, and she at once confessed, though protesting that she had not sinned, save in spirit You can imagine his grief, Brother Rae, for he had loved the woman* "Well, after taking counsel from Brigham, he talked the matter over with her very .calmly, telling her thav-enjess her blood smoked upon'the groundV she would be cast aside in eternity. She t-eallf had spiritual aspiratipna, it j*ems, for she consented to meet'the ordeal. Then, of course, it wanoieoessary to learn from ber.tpe name of the man—and when *aH was ready $ r the sacrifice, JWotherPiaJey commanded her to jsake. it known." "Tejkime which of Brother Pixley's wive* ft was." Heieduld feel the Tittle cool bends of sweat apoh his. forehead.

Then, by her willing sacrifice, she would have gone direct to the circle of the Gods and Goddesses; but now, dying as she.did, her soul must be lost " "Which wife did you say " "The fifth—she that was Mara Cavan—but, dear me, Brother Rae! you Bhould not be out so soon! Why, man, you're weak as a cat! Come, I'll walk with you as far as your house, and you must lie- abed again until you are stronger. I can understand how you wished to be up as soon as possible; how proud you must feel that your preaching has led to this gloriour awakening and made it possible to save the souls of many sinful ones—but you must be careful not to Overtax yourself." Four days later, a white-faced young Elder applied to Brigham for permission to go to. the settlements on the south. He professed to be sick, to have suffered a relapse owing to incautious -exposure so soon after his long illness. He seemed, indeed, not only to be.weak, but to be much distressed and torn in his mind. Brigham was gracious enough to accord the desired permission, adding that the young Elder could preach the some of whom were said to he boasting that they had helped to expel the Saints from Jackson county in that Btafe. Also in this train were reported to be several men front Arkansas who had been implicated in the assassination of Apostle Pratt But news of the crowning infamy method him the following day,—news that had put out all thought of his great sin and* bis bloady secret, news of a thingso_. monstrous that.he was unable' to give it credence until it had been confirmed by other comers from ^reached him lag out of the spired hfc .tajeaJ Jme, lof..various' deedt v**~4 reformation* and1 *^ tile* treatment which various Federal officers were said to have received, had decided that rebellion existed in the Territory of Utah. He had appointed a successor to Brigham Young as governor, so the report ran, and ordered an army to march to Salt Lake City for the alleged purpose of installing the new executive. Three days later all doubt of the truth of this story was banished. Word then came that Brigham was about to declare martial law, and that he had promised that Buchanan's army should never enter the valley. Now his heart beat high again, with something of the old swift fervor. The Gentile yoke was at last to be thrown off. War would come, and the Lord would surely hold them safe while they melted away the Gentile hosts. He reached the settlement of Pa rowan that night, and when they told him there that'the wagon-train coming south—their ancient enemies who had plundered and butchered them in Jackson county—waa to be cut off before it left the basin, it seemed but right to him, the just vengeance of Heaven upon their one-time despoilers, and a fitting first act in the war drama that was now to he played. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Was Not Worth the Trouble Irishman Dtdnt Want Whole Town Tern Up to Find Watch. Kid Gleason, of the Philadelphia National league team, was telling his friends a little story on a Hibernian friend. The kid and his friend had attended a boxing bout and when leaving the building the Irishman discovered that his watch was gone. The sergeant of police promised to "leave no stone unturned" hi the effort to recover the timepiece. Next day. in walking down street with his friend, Gleason pointed to some men who were engaged in some excavating work. By chance, the sergeant to whom Gleason and the Irishman had reported the loss was watching the men work. "Great operation, isn't it?" the ballplayer asked. "Yis, it is, indade. Phat's it all ferr asked Pat. * "Why, don't you remember that the police sergeant said he would leave no stone unturned to get back your watch? See, there he is now directing the work." The kid's friend from the old sod was amased, and, walking up to the sergeant said: "I thank yea very much, sirgeaat, but if yet is going to tear up the whole town, let the watch go to the devil. It's not worth the trouble." Fruits and Vegetables. The term "vegetable" has reference to the whole or any part of a plant cultivated especially with reference to use at the table. But the use of the word "vegetable" doesn't always depend upon cooking, for celery is a vegetable, and apples are fruit, whether eaten raw or cooked. One would suppose the tomato to be entitled to the term fruit, for the method of its raising resembles that of fruit But it is usually called vegetable whether eaten raw or cooked in spite of its appearance. The quince is so fruitlike in appearance—so resembling apples, pears, etc.—that it persists in being called fruit, though eaten only when cooked. r ~" Sometimes the vegetable is e< bud as with eahjages and brussels sprouts; leanejr/hs spinach; stems above groune\* ••• naparagus; stems enlarged (tubers) underground, as common potatoes, or roots, as sweet potatoes, beets and carrots.—St. Nicholas. *:'' *-&.> ? :&? ^M ...> *V-T- . fc" •mtr 'V-- 7 • • ' * *n? •V. - m- • • % "J»IHi<»iHl /¾ Tri-1?!'" ••!'! , • iii ww inn iii uiietwiiwi^Mii i,j n i I,,, ^^ii ^iiniixi ,, .I, , i r»ito»>yg; £i wk»j* §i*p»t •e ' » • Fi L. fVN DREWS & CO.

Id las Thibadeaux was very much exercised over the loss and in a moment of Impulse said to several gentlemen who stood about her discussing the probable whereabouts of the fan, "I will give to whoever finds it—1 will give"- "Yourself?" asked one of the men. "Yes, and my fortune." The words were no sooner uttered than the lady regretted them as foolish. Besides, in those times they were more liable to be taken seriously than they would now be, and a lady would feel it to be more Incumbent upon her to stand by them. The man who had made the suggestion, Albert Mason, was a suitor of hers—a suitor she had no Intention of acceptlug—imd am >ng the men lu the group was Henry Du Pont, whom she felt very much inclined to accept. The reason she aad not done so was because he had not asked her, and the reason he had not asked her was because she owned by Inheritance several sugar plantations, while he was poor. Possibly she had fallen in with Mason's suggestion In order to give Du Pont a chance to win ber by finding her fan. There would at least be an exciting rival search between him and Mason. When the next evening Du Pont call ad oa Miss Thlbadeaux. sheriupposlng be had come to bring her fan, met h' n, with a throbbing heart When he fail ad to apeak of the matter, she^sald impatiently: "My fan-has it been found?" "It will be found," he replied sententlously. A servant entered with the fan aud a note from Mason saying: "I claim the tlrst part of the reward. The sec ond, your fortune, 1 do not claim." Miss Thlbadeaux was vexed. Having done one foolish thing, she proceed ed to re-enforce it by doing another. "I will give myself," she said excitedly, "to the man who will prevent my having to break and yet not keep my promise." "And then," said Du Pont, "you will give yourself to the man who will enable you to break honorably with the new winner." "The next winner shall receive the reward, and it shall be given willingly." It was the averted face rather than the words that gave him her meaning. He understood it perfectly, but with out a word *f reply left her and went to the rooms of Albert Mason. "Mason," he said, "you certainly are not going to take an advantage of Miss Thlbadeaux in the matter of her fan?" Mason looked surprised "What Is tonf. to you?" lie asked.

The day was hot, and a young man in the group offered me a refreshing drink. At the top of the lacework In marble which is the spire of Milan cathedral three English speaking men met accidentally—an American, an English clergyman and myself. He who bailed from the land of the stars and stripes offered me his fieldglass; the other did not even return our good morning salutation. In a beer garden at Lucerne I followed the custom of the continent and asked permission before sitting at a table of those already seated there. The only one who did not raise his hat and reply was an Englishman, and the only one to make excuses for him was a young man who prefixed hie words with 'I guess.'"

Show* Work of-Two Boards. The annual report of the state tax commission and board of railway assessors, has been filed with GOT. Warner. It reviews the work of the two boards for the year. It gives an interesting tabulation, of the railroad and state taxes for the years that the ad valorem tax law has been in effect i to show that now the sum paid annual* ly by the railroads is 103 per cent of the state tax levied each year. Under the specific tax system, when the railroads paid as taxes a certain per* centage of its earnings, this amounted to only 41 per cent, of the state tax average for a number of years. From the standpoint of revenues, therefore, the commission declares' the ad valorem, law to be a success. The commission' asks for an extension of its powers of review of assessments and a change in the law, for the assessment of express companies as heretofore announced. Jailey fleeted Senator.

Cotton, of Escanaba, as a member of the state board of education is announced at- the executive office. He takes the place made vacant by the election of L. L. Wright as superintendent of public instruction, and continues in office until his successor is chosen at the coming spring election. The appointment gives him the prestige that will probably cause him to be nominated at the Republican state convention. Dr. Cotton is a graduate of the state university, a former member of the school board of Escanaba, and a leading business man of that section. His appointment was in the charies against Semite Lunacy in ItRn^ie.

Must -Be Fair. The president told some Oklahoma visitors to the White House that unless the constitutional convention of Oklahoma modifies the proposed provision relating to, railroads and makes it conform to the constitution of the United States, he would not approve it. One of the provisions, it is said, to which the president objects, is that preventing railroads employing help to protect their property in case of a 'strike and to guard their trains. The /proposed provision regarding railroads Jias been reported to the convention by the committee on railroads, but has not yet been acted on. law which-he understands will be sat isfactory to the German Lutheran ministers and teachers, and it is claimed \ -will tend toward the advancement of \ t h e educational Interests of the state.

Increase in Railway Stats Tax. During the four years from 1898 to ,1901 the railroads of the state paid $5,173,036 in taxes, while the state tax assessed for the period was $12,629,- :333.

They were employing 13,593 people, an increase of 1,579. Of the employes 8,973 were males and 4,620 women and girls. The average daily wages recerved by all employes were six cents less than in 1905, but their hours of work averaged *2i minutes a day less. It was shown that in every instance the male employes received higher wages than women and girls employed at the same labor, the difference being mor< marked than In 1905. Monroe Gets in Ahead.

Representative^Monroe -bears his honors modestly as the chairman of the committee on city corporations. Each of his four colleagues on the committee represents a city which will have more or less business to transact in the way of charter changes before the legislature adjourns sine die. Suggested charter changes always breed antagonism, and so Representative Monroe has quietly decided that he will sit back and let his colleagues make their own fights when bills affecting the interests, of their own "cities come up., v t. SIMPLICITY IN HOMES IS NOW T H E T S T V U . Simplicity in the decoration of homes is now the present fashion and when ene enters the mansion, of a nabob in anticipation of feasting his eyes tupon;,'rare tapestries and beautifully carved and '-upholstered furniture and wondrous works •of art he Is usually doomed to disappointment. The present fad for having rooms so bare and •empty that they look almost unfurnished is a physical result*-brought about by a condition that lias manifested itself before in different forms. Gothainites are uervous, hurried and crowded; and for that reason they have finally realized the -importance of Having their homes as restful in effect and as homelike as possible. Less than a decade ago the average New York millionaire's home was au institution to look at more than a place in which to dwell in comfort. These same persons now want to have a feeling of repose, at least when they get to their homes. They have gradually learned that the restful influence of a room is the result of its furnishing and decoration. Ten years ago the average New York drawing room was packed with furniture anit bric-a-brac such as to make a. person who was already nervous more fidgety. . At that time there was not a chair or a sofa that was not deco-- rated with frithev a flinger or a draper. The fllnger was thrown carelessly >over the arm pf the chair, while, the draper was usually festooned in grace* *ul curves. Then pictures covered the walls with no regard to homogeneity 'In color or subject, and apparently meant to match, if possible, so far as size is concerned. Then there was the terrible mantel lambrequins that looked not unlike a bathrobe and many other such decorations that were as old and just about as graceful as Mary Jane's top-knot. Now these fussy rooms have gone and it is not uncommon to see but a half-dozen mission chairs, a buffet and table of the same type and a few simple decorations to match in the dining-rooms of some of the swellest Fifth Avenue homes. Of course, the furniture is rich and costly, but it gives the rooms that sweet charm suggestive of the simple life.

Presumably fearing that some Philadelphia lawyer might appear and declare that the meat inspection provision tacked onto the agricultural appropriation bill last year was not permanent legislation, the house Saturday reanacted the provision without a dissenting voice. The only change was the insertion of a word so as to authorize the secretary of agriculture to "hereafter" inspect meats and meat products. ^ e p i ^ e e t t t a ^ e ' d ^ J i P ^ e i i e i ^ e e , wants to get aqdarely on record In" ffavor of the president for his action in'dismissing'1 three companies o t toe »tti infantry from the mHltary service of the United -State*, lie said In the-lower bran oh of congress that by a unanimous vote of the Tennessee legislature the president's course was Indorsed, and he had therefore intro* duced a joint resolution, comr.ending the president la his position.

If not, he would aak that the committee be discharged, and he would bring the whole matter before the house for discussion.

Conditions arising from a shortage of fuel and of food supplies continue to be bad in portions.of North Dakota; according to dispatches received at the interstate oommerce commission. A t the same time other dispatches show the railroads are bending their efforts to reach the places suffering from the want of these necessities of life. Mayor James P. Dougherty, at Park River, *f. D., complains that the Great Northern railroad is not making any effort to move trains over the lines reaching there. The city is entirely out of coal. There has been no mail for six day*. The weather Is fine. Prompt action, the mayor urges, should be taken to compel the delivery of fuel and mail. A dispatch from Sherwood, N.

WHAT TO FEED WITH CORN. Much Rich Land Goes to Waste Because This Work Is Not Done. Matfy 'findFafnTd^amr unprofitable lands can 1be drained wettror at least considerably improved, BhouM yob >gtfy spend a day's work in scraping out ditches, with- an ordinary twohorse scraper. Some of the ditches need not necessarily be wide nor deep. It haB been estimated that from one to thirty per cent of certain sections of good farming lands in some sections of the Northwest need draining. Some of this undrained land is reasonably productive in growing slough grass, which in many cases serves as feed for cattle in the winter, but a large fraction of these lands Ho idle and are hotbeds for the propagation of weeds' and undesirable insects. The soil in sloughs and smalt swampa is usually fertile and rich in plant food, due largely to the decay of plant life, which has been accumulating there year after year. It is this land that should be brought Into .condition for, the growing of crops. It will support' plant growth better than the adjoining higher lands whose fertility has been considerably depleted by constant crop^lng^, ,$Vhenv drained well' these' lands make admirable ^fields for'grasses, such as timothy and millet. grasss, also fodder corn.

Missouri Experiment Station Proves Thtlt Linseed Oil !• Best. *-\ s ——— That some4 other feed should be used with corn to secure the best results in pig feeding is known by ail practical feeders. The gains are better than on a pure corn ration, and if the. o4her food Is well chosen the gains may be made jat lower cost. In a test at the Missouri experiment station a comparison of wheat, middlings and other .purchased feeds used with corn meal was made. With corn at 25c a bushel it would be an even thing so far as the cost of gain is concerned-, whether corn be fed alone or with oil meal at $30 per ton: In these tests, linseed oil meal proved*"to* be better than wheat middlings ' as a food to use w|th corn. The oil meal ration r was ^so much, more palatable than \the middlings, that much more of it was. eaten daily. They made more rapid gains and seemed to thrive better upon this feed. To be equal to oil meal at $30 per ton, middlings would have to be bought at from $14 to $15 per ton. As oil meal is usually cheaper than $30 in Missouri and middlings worth $15 or more, these tests show that linseed oil meal is one of the best feeds to use with corn. AWFUL ATTACKt Of ^AM*.

H BBOtild Prove the Best Kind of Fee4 t; % • When Warm* There la 4m impression among some fanners that the feeding of skim' milk warm from th«' separator is injurious to pigs. Prof. William Deltrich, of the Illinois' experimental static*, writing on this matter, says that there Is no reason why it should cause trouble since warm milk is the natural* food of pigs.- It may be that the scouring and running down in flesh that is sometimes observed is caused by sudden changes in feed; such .as, for instance, change from cold sour skimmilk to warm fresh skim-milk. The skim-milk in either form is good feed, but it will not do to- change from one to the other very suddenly. Another cause of the' trouble may be that the pigs are being fed too much. Sometimes people think that when the cream is taken out of the milk there is not. much left that is of any value and young animals are fed very liberally and often overfed, and this becomes a very serious matter. The sklm-milk has relatively more protein than whole milk and a comparatively small excess of protein in the system will very likely bring about digestive troubles. SAVE THE WOMEN.

Children play a great role in French society, as all those who have read Gyp's inimitable "Ftit Bob" win readily admit, and now the small Parisienne insists on receiving on her fete day and at the New Tear a live pet, instead of a costly doll or a mechanical toy. The demand ha*, been creating a supply, and a lively trade is being done, not only in puppies and kittens, in tiny monkeys and in lambs, but also in tigers and leopards.

CHAPTER XV, The Order from HaadQttarsers* He 4ett BanaWjan the nex| horning to nreacn at on% of the lltti* settlements to tbr east. He was gone three days. Wheto he came back they told aim that the train of Missourians had passed thiraugh Par0w*a and o& to t^e south. He attended a' military council heU tba^Wening in the meeting- house. * ThreeJTdays of reflection, while it had not cooled the anger he felt toward these members of the mob that had so brutally wronged nib people, had sUgbtfy cooled his ardor for aggressive Warfare.' / 1 The following Tuesday he continued south to Cedar Jgity, the most; populous of the southern settlements. Here he learned of the campaign's progress. Brigham's courier had preceded the train on its way south, bearing written orders to the faithful to hold no .dealings with its people; to sell them neither forage for their stock nor food for themselves. They had, it was reported, been much distressed as a' result of this order, and their stock was greatly weakened. At Cedar City, it being feared that they might for want of supplies be forced to halt permanently so near the settlement that it would be inconvenient to destroy them, they were permitted to buy 50 bushels of wheat and to have it and some corn the Indians had sold to them ground at the mill of Major Ivee. As Joel's informant, the fiery Bishop Klingensnitth, remarked, this was hoi so generous as it seemed, since, while it wewtd serve to decoy them on their way toward San Bernardino, they would never get out of the valley with it The train had started on. but the animals were so weak that ijiree days had been reouired to reach Iron creek. 20 miles beyond, and two mote days to «reach Mountain Meadows, 15 miles further south. Here at daybreak the morning before. Kllagensmlth told him, a band of Piede Indians, under Lee's direction, bad atacked the train, killing and wounding a number of the men. It had been hoped, explained Klingensniith, that the train would be destroyed at once by the Indians, thus artMaf may call upon the< militia; tat tb* eenigrants had behaved with sue* esTeetr?enes that, the Indians were unable to complete th$K task. They had corralled their wagSaartk dug a rifle-pit,in, the center, a M retnrned the Are, killing one India&jud wounding two of the chiefs. The siege was being continued.

Now the Indians have failed to do it like we thought they would, so we got to finish it up, that's all." Joel Rae spoke for the first time.

He preferred thai rwewa, of the approaching victory should be brought to him; yet invisible hands had forced bins, even while it-SBemed*4hatif»en< aim back. The ride was long, but not Ions enough for his mind to clear It was still clouded: with doubts and* questionings and fears when they at last saw the flaring of many fires with figures loitering or moving busily about them. As they came" nearer, a strange, rhythmic throbbing crept to his ears; nearer stilt, he resolved it into the slow, regular beatings of a flat-toned drum. The measure, deliberate, in- •cstart, changeless,—the Bame tones, the aame intervals,—worked upon his •trained nerves, at flrBt soothingly and the* as a pleasant stimulant.

"Why, all but the very smallest children, of course." "Are there children here?" Lee answered: "Oh, a fair sprinkling—about what you'd look for in a train of a hundred and thirty people. The boys got two of the kids yesterday; the fools had dressed them up in white dresses and sent' them out for a bucket of water. You can see their bodies lying over there this side of the spring.'' "And there are women?" he asked, Joel Rae W 4 * m § f l W a | # c i * » f l ****** una&r«ntftb«y v *nfm.

"Better* not inquire how far back that order started, Brother Rae—not of me, anyway. "But women and children " "The great Elohim has spoken from the heavens, Brother Rae—that's enough for me. I can't put my human standards against the revealed will of God." "But women and children " He repeated the words as if he sought to tween the ranges of hills, was a circle of covered wagons wheel to wheel. In the center of this a pit had been dug, and here the besieged were finding such protection as they could from the rifle-fire that came down from the hills on either side. Even now he could see Indians lying in watch for any who might attempt to4 escape. The camp had been attacked on Monday morning after the wagons had moved a hundred yards away from the spring. It was now Friday. For four days, therefore, with only what water they could bring by had held their own in the pit. When it grew still lighter he descried; out <m>his left near the spring, two snots of white close together, and fore^ of the two little girls sent for water. At that instant, the chanting and the beat of the drum stopped, and m the silence a flood of light seemed to shine in upon his mind, showing him in something of its true aspect the thing they were about to do. Xot clearly did he see it. for he was still torn and dased—and not in its real proportions, moreover; for he saw it against the background of bis teaching from the cradle; the murder of their Prophet, the persecution of the Saints, the outrages put upon his own family, the mi.rder of his father, and the death of his mother; the coming of an army upon them now to repeat these persecutions; the. reported offenses of this particular lot of Gentiles.

He was snort and plump, with a full, round, ingenuous face. He was chosen, so said Klingenamith. for bis plausible wayjs. . He could look, right at you when he said anything; and the moment needed a man of this talent He was to enter the camp and say to the people that tbe Mormons bad come to save, them; that on giving up their arms they would be safely conducted to Cedar City, there to await a proper time for continuing their Journey. From tbe bill to tbe west cf the besieged camp they watched tbe plausible Bateman with bis flag of truce meet one of tbe emigrants who came out also with a whiter, flag, and saw them stand talking a little time. Bateman then came back around the end of the bill that separated the two camps. His proposal bad been gratefully accepted. Tbe besieged emigrants were In desperate straits; their dead were unburied In tbe narrow enclosure, and they were suffering greatly for want of water. Major Higbee, in command of the militia, now directed Lee to enter the camp and see that the plan was carried out With him went two men with wagons. Lee was to have them load their weapona into one wagon, to separate tbe adults from the children and wounded, who were to be put into the other, and then march the party out As Lee approached the corral its occupants swarmed out to meet him,— gaunt men, unkempt women and children, with the look of hunted animals in their eyes. Some of the men cheered feebly; some were silent and plainly distrustful. But the women laughed and wept for joy aw tbey crowded about their deliverer; and wide-eyed children stared at L>im in a friendly way, understanding bat little of it all except that the newcomer was a desirable person. It took Lee but a little time to overcome the hesitation of the few suspicious ones. The plan he proposed was too plainly their only way of escape from a terrible death. Their animals had been shot down or run off so that they could neither advance nor retreat. Their ammunition was almost gone, so that they could not give battle. And, lastly, their provisions were low, with no chance to replenish them; for on the south was the most to be areaded of all American deserts, while on the north they had for some reason unknown to themselves been unable to buy of the abundance through which they passed. Arrangements for the departure were quickly completed under Lee's supervision. In one wagon were piled tbe guns and pistols of tbe emigrants, together with half a dozen men who had been wounded in the four days' fighting. In the other wagon a score of the smaller children were placed, some with tear-stained faces, some crying, and some gravely apprehensive. At Leeks command the two wagons moved forward. After these the women followed, marching singly or in pairs; some with little bundles of their most precious belongings; some carrying babes too young to be sent ahead in the wagon. A few had kept even their older children to walk be- »|< 9 ' 1 side them* fearing tone evll—fti? knew not what ; , , \>„ - , .

Tbe woman, looking anxiously back over her shoulder to the line of men, spoke warning* ly- to tbe boy as the line moved slowly forward. "Take her other hand, and stay close. I'm afraid something will happen-- that man who came is not honest man. I tried to tell them, they wouldn't believe me. Keep her .hand in yours, and if anything doe* happen, run right back there and try to find her father. Remember now, just as if she were your own little Bister." The boy answered stoutly, with shrewd glances about for possible danger. "Of course 111 stay by her. I wouldn't run away. If I'd only had A gun,*' he continued, in tones of regretful enthusiasm, "I know I could have shot some of those Indians—but these, what do you call them?—Mormons,— they'll keep the Indians away now." "But remember—don't leave . my child, for I'm afraid—something warns me." Farther back the others had now fallen in, so that the whole company was in motion. The two wagons were in the lead; then came the women; and some distance back of these trailed the line of men. When the latter reached the plape where the column of militia stood drawn up in line by the roadside, they swung their hats and cheered their deliverers; again and again the cheers rang in tones that were full of gratitude. As they passed on, an armed Mormon stepped to the side of each man and walked with him. thus convincing the last doubter of their sincerity in wishing to guard them from any unexpected attack by the Indians. In such fashion marched the long, loosely extended line until the rear had gone some two hundred yards away from the circle of wagons. At the bead, the two wagons containing the children and wounded had now fallen out of sight over a gentle rise to the north. The women also were well ahead, passing at that moment through a lane of low cedars that grew close to the road on either side. The men were now stepping briBkly. sure at last of the honesty of their rescuers. Then, while all promised fair, a call came from the head of the line of men,—a clear, high call of command that rang to the very rear of the column: "iBraei, dq your duty!1' BefeW the faces of the marching men had even shown surprise or questioning, each Mormon had turned and shot the man who walked beside him. The same instant brought piercing screams from the column of women ahead; for the signal hai been gives while they were In the lane of cedars where the Indian allies of the Saints had been ambushed. Shots and screams echoed and re-echoed across the narrow valley, and clouds. of smoke, pearl gray in the morning sun, floated near the ground. The plan of attack had been well laid for quick success. Most of the men had fallen at the first volley, either killed or wounded. Here and there along the all but prostrate line would be seen a struggling pair, or one of the emigrants running toward cover under a fire that always brought him low before he reached it. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Was Not What He Imagined Masher's Ardor Cooled When Lifted Her Veil. Lady An elderly lady who keeps a fashionable school for girls had been paying a call upon friends in East Sixtyseventh street, t-ays the New- York Times. She left their house about ten p. m. to walk home. As she turned into Madison avenue a sudd*n and rather heavy storm broke* A welldressed young man with an umbrella approached her and asked her if she would not come under the shelter he offered. She did so. and at his suggestion took his arm. They walked down the avenue a few blocks and the schwolmistress was surprised to find that her escort was squeezing her arm and murmuring words of amorous intent into her ear. As it was raining very hard and she had no umbrella of her own, she made no protest. The situation struck her as amusing. She is on the shady side of 60 and even her dearest friends would not call her handsome, but she has a figure that a belle of 20 might envy her, and she realized that it wat uhis that had attracted the man, her face being heavily veiled. Reaching her house, she gravely thanked her escort for saving her from a wetting and turned to enter. He urged her not to leave him, suggesting supper and wine and things. "Sir! Who do you think I am?" exclaimed the lady. And she raised her veil under the glare of the electric light. "The devil!" cried the man. hurrying away, after one gjance at the white hair and wrinkled cheeks. Health Benefited by Walking Tow. In hopes that his health would be benefited. Prof. Edwin B.

[Original.] Out; evening soon after the accession of Kin's Charles II. of England a youug girl called at the palace of Whitehall and begged to see the sovereign. She would' uot have succeeded hud it uot been that he was leu\ iu ; to go to the rooms of his mistre >s, I.;idy Castle muiue. Charles, pushing the girl, who was evidently suffering from some great mental strain, asked her what she wanted. "Oh, sire, give me the life of my brother, Arthur Hewer, who Is to be executed tomorrow on Tower hill." Hewer hud fought on the side of the parliament, und upon the restoration certain parties high iu power deemed It expedient that he should be put to death. The king wus uot a bloodthirsty man, but a great admirer of beautiful women. Mary liewer, who was beautiful, gained from him a promise that her brother should be pardoned. Then the king passed on. Mary, delighted, was about to uurry away when a courtier, young Sir^liicbard Vyner, called to her. "You do not know the king," he said. "His majesty intends to grant the pardon he has promised, but he has gone to visit Lady Custlemaiue, and heaven fcnows when he will come away from her. It may be too late to keep his promise or he may forget it. I will do what I can for you by reminding him of it as soon as he comes again." Mary Hewer was greatly cast down at this inforination,Jju:t gained hope at the young man's promise. The next morning she received a message from him saying that the king had not returned to the palace, and he feared he would not return in time to order the pardon sent to the Tower before the hour of execution. Hewer was to he executed at 8 o'clock in the afternoon. In those days all people, the highest and the lowest, attended these executions, for which places were engaged ahead. In a diary of a prominent man who then flour lshed is an entry, "Engaged a place for my wife to see the execution, then went to the office." When the hour for the tragedy came the prisoner was conducted to the scaffold, from whence he looked down upon a sen of upturned faces. There were dukes and bakers and tallow chaudjers. A few minutes before 8 the Tower chaplain offered a short prayer for the prisoner's souh^Pfien as the executioner steppe'iflorward a young man In the canonicals of the Church of England produced an order from James, duke of York (the king's younger brother), that he should be permitted to pray for the condemned man so long as he desired. Tbe young clergyman then knelt and began to pray. A half hour passed, when the lieu tenant of the Tower interrupted the clergyman, reminding him that the spectators were getting Impatient for the execution. The young man drew the duke's order and pointed to the words "as long as he desires." The king's brother was too* high a person age for his order to be disobeyed, so the lieutenant stepped back, ami- the clergyman went on with his prayer. But the clamor became so great thai the lieutenant again interrupted, be;;' ging the clergyman to desist. This time the young man paid no attention to the request. He was kneeling, with one hand on the block, his head sinking lower and lower, his voice becoming fainter and fainter. For nearly two hours lie prrfyed. Then there was a clatter of horse's hoofs heard coming up from the city, and a rider was seen dashing toward the Tower holding aloft a paper. He was Sir Richard Vyner and bore a pardon from the king. As he threw himself from his horse and elbowed his way through the crowd to the scaffold the words died on the clergyman's lips and he sank In a swoon. Both the prisoner—now by the king's order a free man—and Sir Richard, leaving the crowd to mingle shouts of disapproval or approval, turned their attention to the young clergyman whose extraordinary effort at prayer had saved the former's life. Since he could not be at once revived they sent for a coach and, putting him ln it, got in themselves and drove away to the home of the released man. Before they reached it the clergyman opened his eyes and, seeing Hewer beside him, threw his arms about his neck. "Arthur!" "Maryl" Mary Hewer during the morning be fore the execution had conceived the plan, if delay should be necessary, of achieving It by spending time la prayer. She had sent to Sir Richard Vyner asking If he conld get her permission for a clergyman to do so, and the knight, finding the Duke of York, with whom he was a favorite, prevailed on him to give him the order. It was sent to Mary Hewer at the Tower, who, dis guised, had made the prayer. Then Mary turned from her brother to Sir Richard, took his hand ln hers ind, bringing it to her lips, kissed I t "Tell me, I beseee^ 70%" s^e jald, r * • - "something I can do for you. Nbtbmg can requite such a service, but I may show my gratitude." "Nothing now," be replied. "In time I m a y ' a s k uu Inestimable boon." "But why have you done so much for me?" "I saw you at a window long ago, when the king returned and received his welcome from the people. I saw you again at the coronation. I need to i see you no more to know that you are I come down from heaven." j Arthur Hewer became prominent In the naval war against the Dutch, and 1 his Bister became Lady Vyner. i ROSALIB WHITING.

At Japanese dinners it la the iHile.to become*'Slightly exhilarate*! but no't to drink enough to fdfk thickly or wart crooked. The ability to drink at banquets requires practice—long m'acUoe. There afe banquets'of many kinds, and the man who is invited to ono at which extensive drinking may be expected is careful to-start fn upon an empty or almost empty stomach. By not eating one can drink a good deal. The cups are very small and of many curious shapes.' <One ma;j be Expected to empty 50.

Mrs. Goose, or Mother Goose, as she was familiarly called, was the mother-in-law of Thomas Fleet, a Bos ton printer early In the century.

Tbe widely knowu Dr. Da rid Kennedy was graduated from tho medical 'department of Columbia University la -I860; for three years resident Burgeon in the Saterlee U. & Army Hospita I, Philadelp h i a , Pa.; d u r i n g the Civil War was President o f t h e Examining Board for Invalid Soldiers, and acknowledge d one of t h e most successful surgeons in the Government service; member of the Ulster County Medical Society and other scientific and medical associations; for over thirty-five years in active practice of medicine and Burgery In Rondout, N. Y., becoming one of the leading surgeons of the Hudson River Valley, Iiis great ability and skill being undisputed, and bis reputation extending from New York to neighboring states. He was a New York Presidential Elector In 1892, Mayor of his city for two terms and occupied many other public and private positions of trust and honor. It is interesting to learn that in the early days of his large practice he employed a prescription that he termed his "favorite remedy" because it was invariably successful in the treatment of the various cases coming under his care, where a preparation was indlcatedJor the Kidneys, Liver or Blood. In 187$ the demand for this medicine was so great that he decided to place it before the public, and from that time Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy (as it has since been known) has become one of our standard family remedies. The business soon grew to immense proportions and the large laboratories and offices in Rondout stand as positive proof of its wonderful success, due to absolute merit, aided by systematic judicious and honest advertising. The strong point about Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy Is that its cures are permanent, and it will be our pleasure, in subsequent Issues of this paper, to print specific instances of this convincing feature. It is proper to add here that Favorite Remedy is not a "patent" or "secret" medicine, since its composition is given upon request, and it is not a "cure all." It has cured many cases of Kidney, Liver and Blood troubles (and associated ailments) which have been practically abandoned by physicians. It is sold in over 40,000 drug stores in this country at only $1.00 a bottle, or the manufacturers will send it direct and prepay charges if a druggist is not handy. Every year Dr. David Kennedy's Sons, Rondout, N. Y., mail millions of free medical ftooklets and sample bottle (to any one writing for them) to all parts of -the world, this being one of their methods of advertising the merit of this valuable remedy. Used Him at Eraser. The late Dr. Henry Martyn Field some years ago related at a Williams alurxrai dinner a rather amusing incident of his freshman days at college. Being only 12 years old when he entered he had not'reached the point where the natural friction between the big boy and the small boy ceases and he was at particular feud with one of his fellows, a stalwart country youth fresh from the farm. One day young Field went early to the classroom and put upon the big blockboard a very exasperating caricature of his enemy, with his name beneath. When the aggrieved party saw what had been done he said not a word, but catching up his youthful tormentor, he used him as an eraser and after rubbing out the offensive picture quietly took his seat. NO RELIEF FROM ECZEMA For Over Two Years—Patent Medicines, Quack Cures, and Doctors Fall—Cuticura Succeeds. "I was very badly afflicted with ectema for more than two years. The parts affected were my limbs below the knees. I tried all the physicians in the town and some-in the surrounding towns, and I also tried all the patent remedies that I heard of, besides all the cures advised by old women and quacks, and found no relief whatever until I commenced using the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. In the Cuticura Remedies I found immediate relief, and was soon sound and well. C. V. Beltz, Tippecanoe, Ind., Nov. 15, '05." Also Gives Away Libraries. James J. H. Gregory of Marblehead, Mass., is a rival of Andrew Carnegie in the giving away of libraries. He has been doing this for years.

HNCKNEY, MICHIGAN t J S = 9 E 9 B S RR A Comparison of Wealth. The London Express is unhappy b«» cause of Its discovery that the annual increase in the total wealth of the United States is something like ten times the increase in the wealth of Great Britain. From r British point of view this may be lamentable,- but from no point of vie* can it be regarded as surprising. We have about twice the population of that country, and there is a noticeable difference in the matter of area. Our natural resources in every departmement of productive indButry far exceed those of Great Britain. Her land values, while not absolutely fixed, may be held to have reached the limit of normal expansion, while in our case a variety of influences such as railway development, trolley line extension, irrigation, and an ever increasing demand for the products of the soil, bring idle land under profitable cultivation, and so give it value, and give a greater value to lands already occupied. The American workingman, with his higher wages, declares the New York Sun, can afford better housing than the English workingman, and another important factor in dwelling-house values appears in our vast population of the well-to-do. Japan's Fair Exhibit. When the war with Russia started, in 1904, Japan looked to the Ucited States for sympathy, and received it. Japan had nearly the most extensive and interesting exhibit which was made by any foreign nation at tho St. Louis world's fair of 1904, which was a very effective way of showing her regard for the United States. Her display at the fair was immeasurably larger and finer than that of Russia. By bringing the war with Russia to an end in 1905, President Roosevelt rendered a service of inestimable value to Japan, which the emperor, his peace commissioners at Portsmouth and the press of Tokio and the other Japanese centers have freely acknowledged. Japan has even more interest in maintaining friendly relations with us than we have with her, declares Charles M. Harvey in Leslie's Weekly. The trade between the two countries is growing and it is profitable to each. Her recent war imposed a debt burden which bears with crushing weight on the Japanese people. Japan's natural resources are small. She has an especial need for many years of unbroken peace. Happily, so far as we are concerned, that peace is likely to. be maintained. The Rudeness of Lawyers. Joseph H. Choate . . . tells lawyers that they should be courteous in tbe cross-examination of witnesses. He also expresses the judgment that rudeness and discourtesy hurt tbe lawyers who employ them. Lawyers as a class are not loved. Most men at some time or other have had disagreeable experience with them, and, while they may respect individual lawyers, the feeling toward lawyers in the mass is not one of respect and affection. The badgering of witnesses under cross-examination, which small lawyers delight in and which judges permit when they should not, is an old evil which creates for the badgering lawyers the cordial dislike, not only of the badgered victims, but moat of the laymen who witness the performance. Witnesses in a court of justice are there to assist the court and jury in arriving at the truth. They are not there of their own choice, but come in obedience to the summons of the court. As a rule, says'the Philadelphia Press, the court does not protect them sufficiently from harsh treatment, base insinuations and gross abuse at the hands of the attorney whose client is unfavorably affected by their testimony. Graphophones were used to help th< stenographers during a recent government inquiry in Chicago when the investigators had received orders to forward to Washington a transcript of the testimony at the earliest possible moment. The stenographers took their notes in the ordinary way, and read them to a graphophone. As fast as a cylinder was full, the machine was turned over to a typewriter, who set It to repeating what the stenographer had spoken, and transcribed it on paper. Within 30 minutes after the last witness had ceased speaking the record of the hearing was about completed, ready to be sent to the national capital ELECTION OF UNITED STATES 8ENATOR8 EY DIRECT VOTE. GOVERNOR SAYS IT'S TIME The Work of the LeoHalature as Viewed by the Chief Executive and the Opportunities* RELEASED Elections and Work. Gcv Warner haB declared in favor of* election of United Statea senators by direct vote of the people. He said: "The time is ripe for some legislation that will make political contests of every kind cleaner and one important step in that direction would be to provide for the nomination of United States senators by the primary system upon the plan similar and upon the same day that candidate? for governor, lieutenant governor and congressmen are nomin *ed. There are, I believe, twelve states where such a provision exists. In time I believe United States senators will be selected by the people themselves. "It has been stated that the work of the legislature haa not advanced as far as is usual at this time. It should be remembered that during the first four or five weeks of any session not much important work is accomplished. I believe there Is an opportunity at this session for good, vrholesome legislation and there is a very'general belief that the legislature will fully meet the expectations of the people in this regard. "I have certainly no desire to dictate the course which shall be pursued and will only atate that I shall be glad to co-operate in every W possible with the members o£/both houses in bringing about results which will promote the best interests of our state. I sincerely believe, too, that the more.important matters,in.which the people lire generally interested should be brougbt.un early,arid not left until local legislation is all cared for." > AACha'pter of Accidents, "* i t His fadt caught fn a frog, Fran*1 C rlutchlttfti'a Pere Marquette brakemaar was crushed by a train at Bridgman.

A habit of holding a lighted matoh over the vent of a gasoline tank, from which the highly inflammable fluid had just been emptied, leaving a quantity of gas "which would burn a vivid b^uevflame for a few minutes, finally caused the tragic death of Frank JRoek, in the village of Vriesland. Frank wai .employed in his father's store, and this.frequent feat of lighting the gas in the empty tanks seemed to bold a fascination to him. He had often been cautioned, but became fearless. But the fatal moment came Wednesday afternoon when Frank held the match once too often. There was more gasoline in the tank than he thought. There came a flash, a roar, as the top of the tank blew off and struck the boy, crushing i i s head and killing him. EFFECTIVE MEDICINE FOR LA GRIPPE. Robt. L. Madison, A.

The first gre»t.«pl^^ erf mad shrieks had "quickly dje$ low as if the victims were being smothered; and now could be heard only the single scream of some woman caught In flight,—short, despairing screams, and others that seemed to be cnt short—strangled at their height, " • Joe! Rae found himself on tBe line after the first volley, dfawn by some dread power he could not resist. Yet one look had been enough. He shut his eyes to the Writhing forms, the jets of flame spitting through the fog of smoke, and turned to flee. Then ia an instant—how it had oosse mfctvt he never knew—he was struggling with a man who shouted •4ft name and cursed him,—a dark mat with blood streaming from a wound In Ills throat. He defended himself easily, ,**eli»* hja assailants strength already wiataf. Time after time the man called aim by name and cursed him, now in low tones, as they swayed. Then the Saint whose allotted victim this man had been, having reloaded his pistol, ran up, held it close to his head, fired, and ran back to the line, He felt the man's grasp of his shoulders relax, and his body grow suddenly limp.'as if boneless. He let it down to the ground, looking at last- full upon the face. At first glance it told him nothing. Then a faint sense ,p( its familiarity -pushed up through many old memorlftff^jpinf£lme, somewhere, he "had lafo^TOiWf^ce. -' *5 wide, no^ftffhig, but o^jrulaiveiy, an<4 then hej^thtoel^eftllgatened by soniethiuBrttar-Jfcelr1 fl&mifc ooior>,*--some-.i thing in'the-lt»« of-the brow under the blac^^^j-^rfnfeB^was brought hack tojjflfc, 1 % h W ^ e f a c e of the jaunty ^lU%^'pt«ln^at flauyoo, the man whaJMUjnhtftafaaapel his people, who ha»>*fj»tronteedUfiem with his airs of plift wjpfl-^tlrtMMean who had— It did n^d«oWrtb fym until that inslant— this mim^iras Girnway. In the flash of awful comprehension he dropped, a sickened and nerveless heap, beside the dead man, turning his head on the ground, and feeling for any sign of life at his heart. Forward there, where the yells of the Indians had all but jroplaced the screams of frantic women-^-butchered already perhaps, subjected to he knew not what infamy at the hands of savage or Saint—was the yellow-haired, pink-faced girl he had loved and kept so long imaged in his heart; yet she might have escaped, she might still live—she might ••even not have been in the party. He sprang up and found himself facing a white-haired boy, who held a little crying girl by a tight grasp of her arm,' and who eyed him aggressively. "What did you hurt Prudence's father for? He was a good man. Did you shoot him?" He^setfced the hoy roughly by the shoulder. "Prudence — Prudence— where is she?" •Here." He looked down at the little girl, who still cried. Even in that glance he saw her mother's prettiness, her pink and white daintiness, and the yejlow shine of her hair. "H?r mother, then,—-quick!" The boy pointed ahead. *Vp there—she told me to take care of ..Prudence, and when the Indians came out she made me run back here to look for him."

Before his staring eyes, the hair was twisting, writhing, and undulating,—like a golden flame licking the bronzed arm that held it And then, as he reached the spot, the Indian, with a long yell of delight and a final flourish of his trophy, ran off to other prizes.

All this he found. Joel Rae was again under the sway of his old warlike feelings. Brigham had revived his fainting faith. He went out into the noise and hurry of war preparations in a sort of intoxication.

He could, remember that he had buried her on the other side of the hill where a gnarled cedar grew at the foot of a ledge of sandstone, using a spade that an Indian had brought him from a deserted camp. By her side he had found the scattered contents of the little bundle she had carried,— a small Bible, a locket, a worn gold bracelet, and a picture of herself as he had known her, a half-faded . daguerreotype set in a gilt oval; in a square rubber case that shut with a snap. The little limp-backed Bible had lain flung open on the ground in the midst of the other trinkets. He remembered picking these things up and retying them in the blue silk handkerchief, and then he had twice driven away an Indian who, finding no other life, came up to kill the two children huddled at the foot of the cedar. Some o f the men had camped oh the 3pot. Others had gone to Hamblln's ranch, near the Meadows, where the children were taken. He had sent ' can do so in peace and unmolested or own judgment upon himself. But he drank thirstily of the martial draught and lived the time In a fever of tumultuous drunkenness to the awful truth. Forces were sent into Echo canyon, the narrow defile between the mountains through which an army would have to pass. On the east side men were put to building stone ramparts as a protection for riflemen. On the 'west, where the side was sloping, they dug pits for the same purpose. They also built dams to throw large bodies of water along the west side of the canyon so that an army would be forced to the east side; and here at the top of the cliff, great quantities of boulders were placed so that a slight leverage 'would suffice to hail dhem down upon the army as it marched below. When word came that the invaders had crossed the Utah line, Brigham sent forward a copy of his proclamation and a friendly note of warning to the officer in command. In this he directed that officer to retire from the Territory by the same route he had entered it; adding, however, "should you deem this impracticable and prefer to remain until spring in the vicinity of your present position at Black's fork or Green river, you WJIBIUWHWI you .nepeeje**^Dav and ammunition-with Lewis Boblnson, quartermaster general of the Territory, and leave AS soon in the spring as the roads will permit yon to march. And should you fall short of. provisions *b«y will be furnished you upon making the proper application." The officer who received? this note had replied somewhat curtly that the forces he commanded were in Utah by order of the President of the United States and that their future movements would depend wholly upon orders issued by competent military authority. Thus She issue was forced. In addition to the defense of Echo canyon, certain agreasjve moves were made. To Joel Rae was allotted command of one of these. His orders promised all he could wish of action. He read them and felt something like his old truculent enthusiasm. "You will proceed with all possible dispatch, without injuring your animals, to the Oregon road near the bend of Bear river, north by east of this place. When you approach the road, send- scouts ahead to ascertain if the invading troops have passed that way. Should they have passed, take a concealed route and get ahead of them. On ascertaining the locality of the troops, proceed at once to annoy them in every possible way. Use every exertion to stampede their animals and set fire to their trains. Burn the whole country before them and on their flanks. Keep them from sleeping, by night surprises; blockade the road by felling trees, or destroying river fords where you can. Watch for opportunities to s e t fire to the grass on their windward, so as to envelop their trains if possible. Leave no grass before them that can be burned. Keep your men concealed a s much as possible, and guard against surprise. God bless you and give you success. "YOUR BROTHER IN CHRIST." Forty-four men were placed under his command to perform this work, and all of them were soon impressed, even to alarm, by the. very .evident reliance of their leader upon the God of Israel rather than upon any merely human wisdom of his own. The first capture was not difficult. After an all-night ride they came up with a supply-train of 25 wagons drawn by oxen. The captain of this train was ordered to "go the other way" until he reached the states. He started; but as he retraced his steps as often as they moved arway, they at length burned his train and left him. And so the campaign went forward. As the winter came on colder, the scouts brought in moving tales of the enemy's discomfiture. Colonel Alexander! of the Federal forces, deciding that tiie canyons could be defended by the\saints, planned to approach Salt Lake City ove\ a roundabout route to \he north.^He started in heavy snow.^-eutiiag^a road through the greasewood and sage brush. Often his men made but three miles a day, and his supply-train was so long that sometimes half of it would be camped for the night before the rear wagons had moved. As there was no cavalry in the force the hosts of Israel harassed them sorely on this march, on one day consecrating 800 head of their oxen and driving them to Salt Lake. Albert Sidney Johnston, commanding the expedition, had also suffered greatly with his forces. The early snows deprived his stock of forage, and the unusual cold froze many oxen and mules. Lieut. Col. Cooke of the Second Dragoons* with whom traveled the newly appointed governor, was another to suffer. At Fort Lavamie so many of his animals had dropped out that numbers of his men were dismounted, and the ambulances used to carry grain. Night after night they huddled at the base of cliffs in the fearful teddies of the snow, and heard above the blast the piteous cries of their famished and freezing stock. Day after day they pushed against the keen blades of the wind, toiling through frocen clouds and stinging ice blasts. The last 35 miles to Fcrt Bridger had required 15 days, and at one camp on Black's fork, which they called the '<camp of Death," 500 animals perished la a night. Nor did the hardships of the troops end when they had all reached what was to be their winter quarters. Still +mr: m a hundred and ftfteen afiaa fras tae> City of the Saints, they were poorly housed against the bitter cold, poorly fed, and insufficiently clothed, for the burning of the trains by the Lord's' hosts had reduced all supplies. Reports of this distress were duly carried to Brigham and published to the Saints. Their soldiers had made good their resolve to prevent the Fed* eral army from passing the Wasatch mountains. Aggressive operations ceased for the winter/and the greater part of the militia returned to their homes. A small outpost of 50 men under the command of Major Joel Rae —who had earnestly requested _thi» assignment—was left^to gtufrd" the narrows of Echo canyon and to keep watch over the enemy during the winter. This officer was' now |tfrsj*4<ed that the Lord's hand was with them. For the enemy had been wasted away even by the elements from the time he had crossed the forbidden line. In Salt Lake City that winter, the same opinion prevailed. They were henceforth to be the free and ind<* pendent State of Deseret. "Do you want to know," asked Brigham, in the tabernacle, "what is to be done with the enemy now on our borders? As soon as they start to come into our settlements, let sleep depart from their eyes until they sleep in death! Men shall be secreted along the route and shall waste them away fn the name of the God of Battles. The United States will have to mak> peace with us. Never again we make peace with them." CHAPTER XVIII. How the Lion of the Lord Roared Soft. But with the coming of spring some fever that had burned in the blood of the Saints from high to low was felt to be losing-its heat. They had held the Gentile army at bay during the winter—with the winter's help. But spring was now melting the snows. Reports from Washington, moreover, indicated that a perverse generation in the states had declined to accept the decrees of Israel's God without further proofs of their authenticity. With a view to determining this Issue, Congress had voted more money for troops. Three thousand men were to march to the reinforcement of the army of Johnston on Black's fork; forty-five hundred wagons were to transport their supplies; and 50,000 oxen and 4,000 mules were to pull these wagons. War, in short, was to be waged upon this Israel hidden in the chamber of the mountains. To Major Rae, watching on the outposts of Zion from behind the icy ramparts of Echo canyon, the news was wel« come, even enlivening. The more glory there would be in that ultimate triumph which the Lord was about to secure for them. In Brigham and the other leaders, however, this report induced deep thought. And finally, on a day, they let it be known that there could no longer be any thought of actual war with the armies of the Gentile. When he heard that the new governor, who had been in the snow with Johnston's army all winter, was to enter Salt Lake City and take his office —a Gentile officer to sit on the throne of Brigham—he felt that the Ark of the Covenant had been thrown down. "Let us not," he implored Brigham in a letter sent him from Echo canyon, "be again dragooned into servile obedience to any one less than the Christ of God!" But Brigham's reply was an order to pass the new governor through Echo canyon. According to the terms of this order he was escorted through at night, in a manner to convince- him that he was passing between the lines of a mighty and far-flung host. Fires were kindled along the heights and the small force attending him was cunningly distributed and duplicated* a few of its numbers going ahead from time to time, halting the rest of the party and demanding the countersign. (TO BE CONTINUED.) A Bold Scheme That Won Scotsmen Both Got Drink but Mental Strain Was Great. Two Scotsmen with a thirst counted up their joint possessions and found that they could just cover the price of a drink of whisky. They went into the nearest saloon, and ordered the one drink, Sandy putting down the money for the same. Then arose a discussion as to how it could be disposed of to the best advantage of both. Being Scotsmen, it was no Alphonse and Gaston discussion. Each was disposed to stand on his own rights, while at the same time admitting the claim of the other. At the critical moment a stranger entered the saloon With a wink of his eye at his companion, Sandy turned to the newcomer and said: "Will you have a drink with us?" Supposing that the other had drank before his entrance, the stranger said heartily, "I will, and emptied the glass. There was an uncertain pause for a moment, and then the third man said: "Come on boys, and have one on me." They had it. As they went out Sandy wiped his mouth and said: "See, moh, it worked." "Yes," was the reply, "but oh! what a risk!"—Philadelphia Record. Sun Is Shaky. The sun proves to be undergoing continual change of shape. From measurements at Gottingen during IS years, Dr. C. L.

It would have secured railway mail service for about half the amount the government now pays for it or for as little as the Express companies pays for a similar service and it would have given every mail carrier in the rural service a light wagon and carried on a very extensive rural express business in combination with the mail delivery.

Indeed, he held a champion's trophy. During the daytime there were few people to use his tables, and If any one desired a game the proprietor would accommodate hi in. One afternoon a farmer whose lineaments were French strolled Into the place and seemed greatly pleased with It "Would you like to play a game?" asked the proprietor. The farmer admitted that he had heard a great deal about billiards and had come to Montreal especially to play a game. The proprietor called for a set of balls, handed the farmer a cue and, unlocking a private rack, took down his own cue. "How much you play for?" asked the farmer. "1 don't play for money." "What! Nothing to mak eet Inter eating?" "If you like we'll play for refresh meats." "Refreshments! What is that?" "Drinks, cigars, anything you like." "Ver* welL How much de game?" "Oh, we'll play till you are satisfied that I can beat you." Meanwhile several loiterers gathered around to see the expression that would come over the farmer's face when he saw the proprietor counting as much as he liked. The farmer was given the first shot He took a long time to make up his mind what to do and when it was made up did a great deal of sawing with his cue. He missed the shot he tried for, but "scratched" one point The proprietor then attempted to show the spectators a very difficult round table shot, but, having no Incentive, played carelessly and missed. "Go ahead," he said to his opponent. "You say we play till T am satisfled r he asked. 'That was the understanding." "I am satisfied. I stop." There was a burst of laughter from the onlookers, for the "house" bad lost the refreshments. Now. it happened that an amateur player, an expert, was looking on who was n<' as averse to betting money a? the proprietor. When the latter threw down his cue and ordered the refreshments the expert went up to the farm er with outstretched hand and told him he was the cleverest countryman that had ever honored Montreal with his presence. Then he offered to play him a friendly game for a nominal stake. The farmer accepted, and the game began. The expert played as badly as he could, but not badly enough t^ let the farmer beat him, which he intended In order to draw his dupe tnto his net But the more the farmer lost the more he insisted on playing further and, to regain his losses, continually suggested a raising of the stake till be had lost In round numbers $250. Then he got very much excited. Drawing a wallet from his pocket he showed his enemy $250 in bills, which he agreed to put up in case he could get odds of 4 to 1. The expert, with well feigned reluctance, at last agreed, and, getting the money from the proprietor, the stakes were placed in the letter's hands. The expert won first shot and rnn 63 points, the game being 100. Then the farmer chalked his cue, looked at the balls and began to play. His first shot waa a difficult masse, with n draw nearly,the full length of the table, and he made it beautifully. From that he proceeded to make one difficult shot after another, always leaving the balls In the position he desired. A crowd gathered around, and it was soon apparent to them that no such handling of billiard balls had ever been seen in Montreal. The game being a short one, It seemed that the player was ambitious to make ngarly all the points by difficult s h o t g T u e missed no shot at all till he had counted 100 points and won $1,000. From the moment the farmer made the first shot the expert, who was the best amateur player in the city, had made up his mind that he had fallen Into hiB own trap. When the money was paid over to the farmer the loser said to hlm:v "Now thatv you've been paid the bet perhaps you won't mind telling us who yon a r e f "I got leetle farm down on de Blche lien riviere," said the farmer. "Rats!" said his questioner and, turning on his heel, left the place. Then the farmer called for refreshments and invited his admirers to partake of them. Now, there was a billiard match to be played that night between the champion of the United 8Utes from New Tork and the champion of France from Parte This was mentioned to the fanes*, and he manifested a desire to see tfce match. Promising to meet his new made friends at the place appointed for the game, be left them to EARLY RISERS during the day, had been detained. Those who had been amusing the farmer from the "Richelieu riviere'* went to the hall, fearing that they might b« deprived of the expected treat But on reaching It they were informed that Lanoroux had arrived, though only, in time for supper. When a side door opened and the contestants appeared those who had met the fanner were astonished to see him in the person of the French champion.

"Check," which Iseat* te fee "shak," a vsriatlon of "shah," has not only come into common speech, but has been the foundation ot many other words. A philologist traces to It "the checker board," "the exchequer" and "a checkered career.4" "A good mere" is also probably from chess. "Stoop to" Is from falconry- "Take the windout of her sails" is from yachting; so is "on the wrong tack." "To Jockey," "to show a clean pair of heels" are from horse racing. Fencing'has been very fruitful as a source of new words. It gives "a hit," "a palpable hit," to "parry a question," or "fence with it," "a home thrust,- "a counter," "to be off one's guard." From pugilism comes "to toss up the sponge," or "to chuck it up." "Put your bsck into it" Is a reminiscence of rowing. Cricket has given many phrases, of which perhaps "stumped," "I stumped him on that question," is the commonest. "Coming up to the scratch" is probably derived from dueling. "Ay, there's the rub" is derived from bowls, though "a rub on the green" is akin to it._ Connecticut's Bad Record.

Of all the musical curiosities that Nature has produced lately one of the oddest Is a man with a piano in bis lungs. On the Pacific coast there is a man by the name of Pearson, his native state is said tar be Arkansas, bvt he now resides in a* small Washington town, who can, without any undoe effort/ send forth remarkable melodies which sound like the music of a piano with a melodeon accompaniment. This lung piano, as it has been termed by the owner, is partly a gift of Nature, but Pearson has cultivated the use of the extraordinary instrument very carefully and thoroughly, until now he is able to play several familiar tunes with wonderful expression and technique. Friends of Pearson say that his services are invaluable when church fairs, bazaars and country entertainments are on hand. He makes an excellent barker, and his tuneful voice penetrates the farthermost corner of a meeting house or tent. He says that other people could perfect themselves in the same accomplishment If they tried It and practiced It regularly. A kind thought toward a fellow mor* tal has but little virtue in it if it be not transmuted into a generous deed. —Rev. J. L. Spalding. Vll.TM CVUSJ* IJtt O T O 1 4 B A Y S .

The mere saying of words is easy, and some men devote their whole lives to it. They talk rather than act. The calamity heevlers in any community are of this kind. While the unsuccessful business man is talking the saccesslol man is acting. When he speaks' he uses words, but he tells facts. He seldom, however, depends upon his own voice. He bringt to his aid the trumpet Umgned voice of the press. He purchases space in the advertising columns of his local paper, and he uses it to good advantage. This is your local paper.

"Ground oyster shells," said the physician, "were used as. a medicine by^ the mediaeval doctors—a medicine for the rickets and scrofula." "How absurd!" "Absurd? Not at all. Oyster shells contain lime, nitrogen, iron, sulphur, magnesia, bromide, phosphoric acid and Iodine. Those are all excellent tonics. You know how bens eat ground oyster shells and thus produce eggs with tfood, thick, strong shells? Well, as the oyster shell powder acts on eggshells so 1 have no doubt it acted in the middle ages on the bending, crumbling bones of the rickety, putting strength and firmness into them. Ground oyster Bhells, I am convinced, would be good things for frail children today. They would strengthen the frame, increase the appetite and have a splendid effect on the teeth."- Philadelphia Bulletin. A Cnrionii a n d R a r e B o o k . The most curious as well as one of the rarest books known to collectors is the edition of the Vulgate Issued by Pope Sixtus V. some time between 1585 and 159(). The book, as Disraeli described it. "fairly swarmed with errata." So numerous were they that a number of printed paper slips contain ing the proper words were pasted over the errors, and, this device proving inefficient on account of the Immense number of mistakes, as many of the copies as could be found were called in and destroyed. Only a few remain, and the book with its paper patches commands an extremely high price. Scott'H N a r r o w Bmcape.

She was, however, compelled to stay and look after the Infant at Sandy Knowe. The girl regarded her charge as an obstacle to be removed and afterward confess ed that she carried young Scott up to the Craigs (under a strong temptation of the devil, as she expressed It), fully Intending to cut his throat with he; scissors and bury him under the moss.

As part o( the drain went through Eugene Mc- Clears land there bad tj be a special commissioner appointed and Miles Bullock was the one. Some of tbe land owners would not give tbe right of way for the drain consequently there bad to be three disinterested commissioners appointed to deside if the drain was a necessity and this had to go through the probates bands, The "Endless Chain" prayer which has been flooding the country the past year or two, struck Pinekney reoently. The prayer is said to hava been started bv Bishop Laurance of Mass,; but he denies all knowledge of tbe affair. The prayer reads "O Lord Jesus Christ we eroplore Thee, our Eternal God have mercy on mankind. Keep us from all sin and take us with Thee through all Eternity. Amen." The great misfortune threatened the ones who did not comply with the request of writing nine letters like the same to friends, is a myth. The ones who receive them would do well to confine them to the iurnace. License fop Pishing. Representative Chas. Ward, of Shiawassee county has given tbe fishing problem some study and is favorable to a law providing for a license for fishing similar to the deer licepse. There was $19,207.6« paid into tbe treasury of the state last year for deer licenses which goes a long way towards protecting game. Mr. Ward says: "It costs the state of Michigan $40, 000 a year to maintain its fish hatcheries which are largely for the purpose of stocking the northern streams with trout, and inland lakes' with bass. Residents of other stajtes who come here to enjoy this fishir/g should contribute to tbe expense ojfruaintaining our hatcheries. 1 woujd favor a license of $6 for non res^raent fishermen.

One of the dangers of democratism which this country has not wholly essaped is a consequence of the wide* spread assumption that the natural equality between men signifies that all men are equally tibia to do all things. This view, It is true, has been often borne out by the amazing success of Americans, with no evident special training, in the discharge of public duties. Much good work has been done by men who have been elected or appointed to positions requiring great special skill, not because they had shown that skill, but because they were eminent citizens or useful party men or men of assertive genius who forged ahead to the work that their instincts rightly bade them seek. As the nation grows and the work of officials becomes more complex, there is increasing demand in all departments for experts. In response to this demand have come the reorganization of the consular service, the assemblage at Washington of a great number of scientific experts, the tendency In the post office and other departments to leave competent servants undisturbed by shifts of party power, and the recognition everywhere that men in public occupations like those in private business must be engaged and paid according to their ability. To have this ability they must be trained In their work. Department heads in Washington are calling for experts, and asking increased pay for those who have proved themselves expert, says Youth's Companion. Friends of good government in large cities are protesting against the conduct of city business by unbusinesslike men, against accounting departments under men who do not understand bookkeeping, sewer departments under men who know nothing of sewers. The improvement of all units of American government—nation, state and town—depends on the training and adequate payment of men who can do the public work. Hands Across the Sea. The only good result of the amazing blunder of the governor of Jamaica in rejecting the very practical offers of American assistance in relieving the results of the earthquake In that island is the opportunity given for renewed expression of friendship from the people of Great Britain. The British are much more severe upon Gov. Swettenham than are the Americans, the latter being disposed to laugh off the affair as a cranky ebullition of an overwrought adminstrator. But in London and throughout the British empire the humiliation of the governor's act and of the astounding manner in which it was committed fat. keenly felt, and there is haste to assure the people of the United States that the sentiment of the Jamaican governor does not represent the feeling of the people of Britain, who admire and appreciate the generous offers of American assistance and who deprecate any Interruption of the good feeling between the countries. With Secretary Root fraternizing with the Canadian authorities and with England raising a great ch^of protest against the Jamaican gov^nor's churlishness, remarks the TrojK Tinaelb the unnecessary Question, Wtfat ejffect has the English-Japanese, alliance upon the British attitude toward the United States? answers itself. The hands across the sea seem still to be clasped, and with no knife up the sleeve. Blood is still thicker than Jamaica spirits, particularly when the latter are sour. It is probable that the oldest and most compact book of reference in the world—certainly the one most consulted by the great ones of the earth—is the "Almanach de Ootha," of which the publishers have just Issued the one hundred and fortyfourth annual edition, consisting of Just 1,200 closely packed pages. Its pictorial honors are this time accorded to the kings and queens of Denmark and Norway, and admirable portraits they are. From this authentic publication we learn, says the London Chronicle, that the British people are living—not under a Guelph dynasty, but a "maison de Saxe-Coburg-Goth*.," which is a delicate Question for the genealogists. But the editor of the omniscient red-bound "AlmanacV rwaiy makes a mistake. W A N T WAJ.KEK. The Connecticut Ban* WnibXtr Waa Noted For ttlnpineaa, A reward of fS.OM for tfc* capture alive of William F. Walker, th* mlaarag bank treasurer of Now Britain, Conn., ts announced. The roward waa made $11000 if Walker should be dead when found. Walker was in the Cumberland hotel, Now York, a week ago. He had shaved off his wnitf whiskers, and had hit mustache trimmed and waxed. Instead of his usual modest quarters he took a suite of two rooms and bath. The clerk showed surprise and Walker said: "Oh, I have money. I might as well enjoy myself before 1 die." Walker left behind a grin which was afterwards taken in charge by his son. Walker had on a new suit. It has been determined that Walker had about 1200,000 in ready qash In his possession. He had always been noted for stinginess. A Cabinet Crisis. Despite official denials of dtssenjlons In the cabinet and among loading deputies who are ardent supporters of the government because of the seligtous dispute, the situation is such that a crisis may occur at any moment , Jt has been possible for Premier Clemen* ceau to patch up a tentative, peace agreement, but no one believes it will last long. Former Premier Combes and his partisans are the real disturbing element They frankly declare their anti-clerical policy and are opposed' to any compromise wkh the church In the quarrel over the separation of church and state. President Clemenceau cider with Combes and his faction. A Grtat Bequest Mrs. Caroline Kline Galland, who died last Wednesday in Seattle, left nearly every dollar of an estate worth $1,600,000 to charity.

Capitalists have invested in the Michigan product alone $8,800,- 000, and seventeen factories have been erected.^ Inasmuch as there is enough marl in'dght to run for at least 100 years, every plant will increase its output.

V ) OF THE LORD A Tate ef the Old Watt By flAIIY LEW WILSON CHAPTER XVIIl^-Continued. Joel^Rae foun0 himself believing that b# could now have been a fiercer Lioa ot^thV Lord than Brigham was; for he would have fought, while Brigham was stooping to petty strategies —as it God were needing to rely upon deceit/ Late, dp Jane the arjoay of Johnston descended Emigration canyon, passed through the streets of the city and camped, on the River Jordan. But, to the. deep despair of one observer, these invaders committed no depredation, or ove~ft act. After resting inoffensively two days on the Jordan, they marched 40 miles south to Cedar valley, where Camp Floyd was established. Thus, no one fully comprehending, how it had come about, peace was seen suddenly to have been restored. The people, from Brighaux down, had been offered a free pardon for; all past treasons and seditions if they would return to their allegiance to the Federal government; the new officers of the Territory were Jnstalled, sons of perdition in. the seats of the Lord's mighty;, and sermons of wrath against Uncle Sam ceased for the.moment to resound in the tabernacle. Early in July, Brighara ordered the people to return to their homes. They bad offered these as a sacrifice, even as Abraham had offered Isaac, and the Lord- had caught them a timely ram in the thicket. In the midst of the general rejoicing,, Joel Rae was overwhelmed with Elimination and despair. . , Off If, the south was the , desert. There lie could be alone; there face God and his own conscience and have lift inmost soul declare the truth about himself. In his sadness lie would have liked -*to lead the* people' with "him, lead them away from sqme evil, some falsity that had crept in about them; he knew not what It was nor how it had.come, but Zian had -been defiled,. Something,was gone from the Church, something from Brlgham, something from himself,—something, it almost seemed, even from the God of Israel. When the summer waned, his plan was formed to go to one of the southern settlements to live. Brigham had approved. The Church needed new blood there. He ,rode out of the city one early morning in September, facing to the •out* ever the rolling valley that lay bet w e * the hills now flaunting their ftret aatumn colors. He was in haste 4* l*> yet fearful of what he should Meet there. ^ The next erealnf fee reached Cedar J-Ctty; Mefccriea of tbi* locaflty began to crowd back upon him with tartar* cleavneas; especially of t&e morning he had left HamWiu's ranch. Aa be mounted his horse two of the childi »n aavedilsom the-iwag»a*ti«te"had stood *earJiinv** bey -of seven and another a little olden the one'who had fought so viciously with Aim-when he was separated from the little girL He remembered that the younger of the two boys had forgotten all but the fire* of his name. He had > told them that it was John Calvin—something; he. could not remember what, so great had been his fright; the people at the ranch, because of Ue> forlorn appearance, had thereupon named him John Calvin Sorrow. These two boys had watched him closely aa he mounted his horse, and the older one bad called to him, "When I get to be a man, I'm coming back with a gun and kill ycu till you are dead yourself," and the other, little John Calvin Sorrow, had clenched his fists and echoed the threat, "We'll come back here and kill you! Mormons is worae'n Indiana!" He bad ridden quickly away, not noting that some of the men standing by had looked sharply at the boys and then significantly at one another. One of those who had been present, whom he now met; told him of these two boys. "You see, Elder, the orders from headquarters waa to save only them that was too yonng to give evidence •'MfcfctHJSr ttf" ""'" 'V V..V V The BJoooVon the Page. Along the level lane between the mountain ranges he went, a lane that runs almost from Bear creek on the north to the Colorado on the south, with a width of 20 miles or so. But for Joel Rae it became a ride down the vaUey of lost illusions. Some savin* grace of faith was gone from the people. He passed through sturdy little settlements, bowered in gardens and orchards, and girded about by ROW fertile acres where once had been the bare, gray desert. Slowly, mile* by mile, the Baints had pushed down the valley, battling with the Indians and the elements for every acre of land they gained. Yet it seemed to him now that thef had achieved but a* mere Godless prosperity. They had worked a miracle of^abundaftee in the desert—but of what avail*' For th$ soul of their faith was .gone. He felt or heard the proof of it >on every hand. Through Battle Creek, rProvor^and Sprlngvllle he went; .through Sparta; Fork, Pay a on, Salt Creek, and Fillmore. He*, stopped to preach at ejach^ place, but he did it perfubetorily,<^td with shame for hlmaeit In, his secret heart. Some impalpaBle** essence of spirituality was gone from himself and from the people. He felt himself wick-, edly agreeing with a pessimistic elder at Fillmore, who remarked: "I tell you what, Brother Rae, it seems like when the Book of Mormon goes again' the Constitution of the United States, there's sure to be hell to pay, and the Saints alius has to pay it." He could not tell the man in words of fire, as once he would have done, that they had L'een punished foi:•' lacf oY* f/Slth, of awaken4hf> that otheia were aetf Mm. He heard (heir breathing, or in the alienee a fire's light had shown him a sleeping f a c f j i & t J b e t f b t U ' , or an ami iOe/f6^ out What d bttrofitcmHpe, jjlfjit he found ( a & e j p f ^efwnot—death, or the loss of reason* -v His way lay through the Meadows, yet, ha hardly nyillwAt taia. mail Jhe waa faJWy aa the ground in the midst of a thousand e^l signs of the day. Here, a year after, were skulls and whitening bones, some in heaps, some scattered through the sage-brush where the wolves had left them. Many of the skuHs were pierced with bullet holes, shattered aa by heavy blows, or cleft aa with a sharp-edged weapon. Even more terrifying than these were certain traces caught here and there' on the low scrub oaks along the way, —children's sun bonnets; shiods of coarse lace, muslin/ and calico; a child's shoe, the tattered sleeve of a woman's dress—all faded^ dead, whipped by the wind. He pressed through it all with set jaws, trying to keep his eyes fixed upon the ground beyond his horse's head; but his ears were at the mercy of the eriea that rang from every thicket Once out of i t he rode hard, for it mustLJiot come yet—his first night alone. By dusk he had reached the new settlement of Amnion, a little off the main road In a valley of the Pine mountains. Here he sought the house where he had left the child. When He picked t i e bundle xr» ttd untied it, touchinf the opntenu timidly. He took up the Bible last and as he did se» a memory flooded back upon him that sickened him.and left him trembling, tt waa the book Jie had given fner onf her seventeenth' birthday, the one she bad told him the waa keeping when they parted that morning at #auvoo. He knew.,the truth* before he opened it at the yellowed-, flyleaf and read i a faded ink, "From.Joel to Prudence on this day when she' is 17 years old—June 2d, 1843.'' In a daze of feeling he turned the pageevtryia* to clear hi? mind, glancing at the chapter headings as he turned,—"Abraham is Justified by Faith," "God Inatructeth Isaac," "Pharaoh's Heart Is Hardened," "The Laws of Murder," "The Curses for Disobedience." He turned rapidly and at laat began to run the leaves from between his thumb and finger, and then, well over in the book something dark caught his eye. He tamed the leaves back again to see what it was; but not until the book was opened flat before him and he held the page close to the light did he see what it was his eye had caught A wash of blood was across the page. . He stared blankly at the reddish, dark stain, as If its spell had been hypnotic. Little by little he began to feel the horror of it, remembering how he picked the book up from where it had fallen before her. Slowly, but with relentless certainty, his mind cleared to what he saw. - Now. for the first time he began to notice the words that showed dimly through the stain, began to read them, to puzzle them out, as if they were new to him: — "But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, "Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. "And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, toiler also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid, not to take thy coat also. "Give to every.man 4hat asketh of thee; and- of htm that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise." Again and again he read them. They were illumined with a strangely terrible meaning by the blood of her he had loved and sworn to keep himself clean for. <.?'> He could no longer fight off the truth.- It was facing him now in all its nakedness, monstrous to obscenity, demanding its due measure from his own soul's blood. He aroused himself, shivering, and looked out into the room where the shadows lay heavy, and from whence came the breathing of the sleepers. He picked ^p the now sputtering candle, set in its hole bored in. a: block of wood; and held it ur for a last look at the little woman-child. He was full of an agony of wonder as he gazed, of piteous questioning why this should be as it was. The child stirred and flung one arm ove* her eyes as if to hide the light. He put out the candle and set it down. Then stooping over, he kissed the pillow beside the child's head and stepped lightly to the door. He had come to the end of his subterfuge—he could no longer delay his punishment. Outside the moon was shining, and his horse moved about restlessly. He put on the saddle and rode off to the south, galloping rapidly after he reached the highway. Off there was a kindly desert where a man could take in peace such punishment as his bod" could bear and his soul decree; and where that soul could then pass on in decent privacy to be judged by Its Maker. "You're Met My Papa—Not My Real Papa!" in a court. But these two was very forward and knowing. They shouldn't have been kept in the first place. So two men—no need of naming n a m e s - took both of them out one night They got along all right with the little one they called John Calvin Sorrow— only the little cuss kicked and scrambled so that we both had to see to him for a minute, and when we was ready for the other, there he was at least ten rods away, a-legging it into the scrub oak. Well, they looked and looked and hunted around till daybreak, but he'd got away all right, the moon going under a cloud. They tracked him quite a ways when it come light, till his tracks run into the trail of a big band of Navajos that had been up north trading ponies and was going back south. He was the one that talked so much about you, but you needn't ever have any fear of his talking any more. He'd be. done f for one way or another." For the first ttme in his life that night, he was *afraid to pray,—afraid ev^n to give thanks that others were sleeping in the room with him so that he cpuld hear 'their breathing and know that he was not alone. He was up betimes to press on to the south, again afraid to pray, and dreading what was still in store for him. For sooner or later he would have to be alone in the night. Mhus far since that day in the Meadows he had slept near others, whether in cabins or in camp, in some freighter's wagon or bivouacking in the snows of Echo canyon. Each night he had been conscious, at certain terrible moments he had picketed his horse he went in and had her brought to him,—a fresh little flower4ike woman-child, with hair and eyes that told of her mother, with reminders of her mother's ways as she stood before him, a waiting poise of the head, a lift of the chin. They looked at each other in the candle- light, the child standing by the woman who had brought her, looking up at him curiously, and he not daring to touch her or go nearer. She became uneasy and frightened at last, under his scrutiny, and when the woman would have held her from running away, began to cry, so that he gave the word to let her go. She ran qu'.ekly into the other room of the cfcbin, from which she called back with tears of indignation in her voice, "You're not my papa—not my real papa!" When the people were asleep, he sat before the blaze in the big fireplace, on the hearth cleanly swept with its turkey-wiug and buffalo-tail. There was to be one more night of his reprieve from solitude. The three women.of the house and the man were sleeping around the room in bunks. The child's bed had been placed near him on the floor after she slept, as he had asked it to be. He had no thought of sleep for himself. He was too intensely awake with apprehension. On the floor beside his chair was a little bundle the woman had brought him,—the bundle he had found loosened by her side, that day, with the trinkets scattered about and the limp-backed little Bible lying open where it had fallen. CHAPTER XX. The Picture In the Sky. If something of the peace of the night silence came to him as he rode, he counted it only the peace of surrender and despair. He knew now that he had been cheated of all his great long-nursed hopes of some superior exaltation. Nor this only; for he had sinned unforgivably and incurred jefdlttofl. He-win* l i d fddted, prayed, aad endured, waiting lor bia ^itaeae, for the spreadiag of til* heaveai and the glory of the open vision, had overreached, hi ajse^ and waa e n * down. When at bet ha, slowed his horse to ^ w a | k , ijuwaa the spring pf,the day; \?be meon-had geua> and- eve* o» k«fi left a soft grayneae. began to show above the line of the, hills. The light grew until it glowed with the fire of opals; through the .treetops ran, little stirs of wakefulness, and all about him were faint, furtive rustlings aad whispers of the^new day. Then ia this glorified dusk of the dawn s squirrel loosed his bark ef alarm, a crested jay screamed in aaswer, and he knew his hour of atonement wascome. He pressed forward again toward the desert, eager to be on with i t The page with the wash of blood across it seemed to take on * new vividness in the stronger light Under the stain, the letters of the words were magnified before his mind,—' "And as ye would that men should' do to you—" It seemed to him that the blood through which they came heated the words so that they burned: hfs eyes. An hour after daybreak the trail led him down out of the hilli by a little watercourse to the edge of the desert. Along the sides of this the chaparral grew thickly, and the spring by which he halted made a little spot of green at the edge of the gray. But out in ] front of him was the infinite stretch of death, far sweeps of wind-furrowed sand burning under a sun made sullen red by the clouds of fine dust in the air. Sparsely over the dull surface grew the few shrubs that Could survive the heat and dryness,—stunted, unlovely things of burr, spine, thorn, or saw-edged leaf,—all bent one ways by the sand blown against them,— \ bristling cactus and crouching mesquite bushes. In the vast open of- the bide above, a vulture wheeled with sinister alert- [ ness; and far out among the dwarfed growing things a coyote skulked knowingly. The weird, phantom-like beauty of it stole upon him, torn as he was, while he looked over the dry, flat reaches. It was a good place to die in, this lifeless waste languishing under an angry sun. At last he gave hfs horse water; tied the bridlerein to the horn of the saddle, beaded him back over the trail to the valley and turned him loose. Then, after a long look toward the saving green of the hills, he started off through the yielding sand, his face white and haggard but hard-set. He was already weakening by fasting and loss of sleep, and the heat and dryness soon told upon him as the chill was warmed from the morning air. When he had walked an hour, he felt he must stop, at least to rest. He looked back to see bow far lie had come. He was disappointed by the nearness of the hills; they seemed but a stone's throw away. If'delirium came now he would probably wander back to the water. He walked another hour, then turned, and was again disappointed— it was such a little distance; yet he knew now he must be too far out to find his way back when the madness came. So it was with a little sigh of contentment that he lay down to rest or to take what might come. He was quite broken. Not since the 1 long-gone night on the river-fiat across from Nauvoo had tears wet hls^eyes. But they fell now. and from sheer, helpless grief he wept. And then for the first time in two days he prayed— this time the prayer of the publican:— "God be merciful to me, a shrner." Over and over he said the words, chokingly, watering the hot sands with his tears. When the paroxysm had passed, it left him, weak and prone, still faintly crying his prayer into the sand. 'O God, be merciful to me, a sinner." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Use Pennies by the Million Twenty-Five Tons of Them in London Slot Gas Machines Every Week. An English penny Is so nearly two cents of our currency that the difference is negligible. It Is given out that the South Metropolitan Gas Company, which does a large business on the south side of London, takes about twenty-five tons of pennies from the slot machines every week. These slot machines are used for the purpose of supplying gas to the poorer classes who are compelled to buy it in small j quantities, a penny paying for about twenty-eight cubic feet. The company has perhaps 200.000 of these slot machines in operation. It becomes an interesting question how niuch money is represented by twenty-five tons of pennies. An English penny weighs approximately lie* grains. As a 'pound avoirdupois contains 7,000 grains, the pennies run very near to forty-eight to the pound. A long ton, or 2,240 pounds, would therefore make 107,520 pennies, and twenty-five tons would mean 2,6S8,0QQ. These would be worth $53,760, a large sum, indeed, but hardly so large aa the great weight would lead us to ea> pect In a year, however, the slot machines would mean payment for four billion cubic feet of gas, which is less than one-third of the amount annually sold by the company. At the same time it shows an immense value for a small retail trade to the classes that are so poor that they buy a penny's worth of gas at a time. In this case a slot machine supplies a real want, and while the poor may pay more for gas in such small quantities, they are at least enabled to purchase It In quantities within their means.

Wood of Howell, credit tor" bayinw a long, yet level head, but his preparing a bill to change the name of Hamburg and Brighton townships to Winans and Bingham, respectively, sbowes that he has slipped a cog or off his "trolley" especially in this matter. The names of Brighton and darnburg have always, or at least as long as anyone now living can remember, have been in use and it would be next to impossible to make the change without ma'kfnk a'm'ix up that could not be righted in a*century. 'The majority of the citizens of Hamburg township at least are well satisfied with the name and are proud to say that it was the .home of the lamented Winans. W« presume the people of Brighton teel the same and it saems too bad to change the name of old and noted townships to please a few. The nvmes of inans and Bingham will never be forgotten as long as the townships stand. Mr. Wood has another idea for the legislature to compel all farmers to place their names on their barns in large letters, and that is a much more sensible bill although we boubt the right of the state to compel the expense. It is a nice thing however to drive through the country and not only see the names of the owners of the farms but the name of the farm, and why not while doing it have it all incorporated in the one bill.

Anyone interested cau call or write R. Clinton, Piuckney, Mich. This association will be known as the American beau growers association, it is to have K clerk, who will be elected by the farmers at each town or city in the beau growiug sections of the country, to whom the farmers will report after threshing their beans how many bushels they have to sell and in which month they wish to sell them in. The clerk is to furnish a book expressly for this business. The farmei shall send his name and the number of bushels of beaus he has to sell, to the clerk of the town or city where he wishes to deliver his beaus. A Marriage Lottery • • # < ;'»»e*»'H"i [Orid&ai.] In Smolensk, Russia, marriage is really a lottery." Four times a year a prize is drawn there in the matrimonial market. Five thousand tickets are sold at a ruble a ticket. The winner oi the 5,000 rubles is bouml to marry a certain girl. Should the y;ii decline to marry him they may divide the money between them. In case the man is already married he may turn over the money and the matrimoulul prlw to any friend he may select. One day a traveler stopped lu the town and, hearing of the lottery, gave a servant 10 rubles and told him to buy ten tickets. The drawing was to take place that evening, and after supper the stranyer strolled around to the building appointed for the purpose. The wheel was turned and a paper drawn. He who drew it held it up, looked at it and said: "The winner Is Dmitri Warouivieh." The stranger started. Every one looked at every one else. No one seemed to know who Dmitri Waroui vlch was. "If Dmitri Warouivieh is here, let him come forward." The stranger advanced and after gome questipning was credited with the money and conducted to the, home of the girl he had drawn, Mirza Dovienleff was of a station far beyond those who would usually put T h e price of Sept. beans will be ! themselves up to be raffled for.

But if the beans pick more thau two pounds, the price will be diminished 3c. per pound. The farmers shall pay for cleaning and Backing beans let. per bushel, and the clerk shall receive Jet. per bushel for his work, which is to be paid when the beaus are delivered. When the farmer delivers his beans, he shall receive a receipt for them which shall be payable at the bank in 3 days from date, or soou as the car i a t r j p haiimier. is loaded. The beaus 'are to be paid for on track.

Nevertheless there Is a fascination in meeting one never before seen who is to be something more to us than a stranger and maybe of immense importance. Naturally Mirza had dreamed of many different kinds of men and that at their meeting he who had won her would be mad to wed her. These. of course, were merely dreams* for she knew the class that bought tickets in the lottery and had no doubt she would divide the money prize with the winner and remain a spinster—at least for him.

Then she rang for refreshments. It was late when the fortunate man left the house, and on reaching his inn he was besieged by a throng to know if there would be a wedding or a division. He announced that there would be neither. The 5,000 rubles were to be given to the poor. This was done the next morning. The curious people of Smolensk had forgotten nil about the singular outcome of the drawing when it wfis revived by the appearance of the winner of the prize in the town. He looked somewhat thinner than before and careworn, He came frequently after that, always looking more distrait than before. Finally at one of his visits he departed looking radiantly happy. The next day the townspeople were agog at the announcement that the couple who had won 5,0()0 rubles..and given, them to the poor were to be married after all. The groom prospective told his fiancee that after their marriage they would livtj in his home in Tula; that he had held a government position, but his marriage, for some reason he did not explain, required him to resign it. She was about to marry him for love, but since ht assured her he could support her, was respectable and she had some property of her own she did not Inquire thoroughly into his iocial or monetary condition. The wedding .over^ with its .peculiar Bussian customs, tne couple were about to depart for Tula When a tele gram addressed to Count Odeadoff was handed to the groom to know If he knew any such person. He tore it open, read it and banded it to the bride. It was an order from toe emperor to return to St. Petersburg at once and ended, "Your marriage will be recognised." Theu the recipient explained to his bride that he was of blood royal, but not of near kin, and In the service of the emperor, who had doubtless found he could not get on without his assistant NELLIE EDNA CURTIS.

Reep Them Out, $ays Japan, and That Settles I t The important fast became known Thursday that the government of Japan had indicated clearly to tne United States government that exclusion of Japanese laborers from the continental .limits of the United States would not be an offense to Japan. In the light of this knowledge, the situation between the governments over the discrimination againBt Japanese on the Pacific coast assumes a much more satisfactory aspect, and the promise of an adjustment that will not interfere with the continuance of those extremely cordial relations that have prevailed between Japan and America for so many years, seems to be assured. The vital declaration of the Japanese government of the virtual sympathy with the desire of the United States government to exclude Japanese coolies was the outcome of exchanges that arose not through the Pacific coast agitation, but from a complaint made by this government to Japan that many Japanese were being brought into this country in violation of the contract labor laws. To this complaint Japan responded that it did not want its laborers to come to the United States and in fact refused to grant passports to its coolie emigrants to proceed to the American continent, although passports to proceed to Hawaii and oJJher insular possessions of the United States were be- "But," said the American government, in effect, "your laborers are'eofntng to the continent from Hawaii" Japan's answer was simple and direct. It was practically: - "Why don't you stop them, we won't object?" • CRAZY HARRY. Our Navy. Th ;re has never been so great in tojr«HN*akea in eaval matters in this country as at present. With the president enthusiastically in favor of upbuilding the navy, this country is ex- TP'ectod to become iff a few years one -of the foremost naval powers of the world.

Close observers of the Thaw trial believe the present trend of the trial, as shown in the last two days, "4s toward a commission In lunacy to determine officially Harry Thaw's condition of mind. This belief is suggested by District Attorney Jerome's apparent willingness to admit part of the \flll by his readiness to withhold technical objections to the testimony of Thaw's family physicians tending to throw light upon the defendant's mental status and by his policy of admitting without opposition the conversation between Thaw and Dr. Evans when the latter was examining the prisoner in the Tombs.

Stories of mistreatment artd desertion of passengers by the ill-fated steamer Larchraont's officers and crew are vigorously denied by the officers of the steamer Kentucky, which arrived In New York Friday. The Kentucky was sent to Block Island by the Joy line immediately after the first news et the disaster. Purser Edward Bodner, of the Kentucky, declares several of the rescued passengers are loud in praise of Capt. McVey'i oonduct at the time of the disaster, and that one of the two women passengers who survived says the captain did everything possible under the circumstances. Supt. Noble, of the Joy line, says: "If I were organizing a steamship company tomorrow McVey would be the first captain I would select. He is known as the strictest disciplinarian in the Joy line service." The death of Samuel Lacombe, of Manchester, N. H., one of the 19 who reached shore after the Larchmont went down, brings the list of survivors down to 18. Eighty-seven people, who are known to have been on the steamer are still missing or unidentified; and It is now practically certain that the Larchmont carried out with her on that fatal Monday night 159 souls, This makes the death list 141. •'f^rS Kuropatkin's History.

PERMANENTLY CURED Of Kidney Disease by Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. Mr. C. M.

Some gifts for it came from Christian Herald patrons of famine oWl^en, who were glad to help to supply a place of worship for their proteges, as well as to help to feed, clothe and train them. If these patrons see this picture in your paper, I trust they will feel glad that they had a part in supplying such a Christian church edifice for India. Part of the Money was given by Indian Christians; by two former governors of the Bombay presidency; by a prominent member of parliament; by non-Christarn Hindus, and by a large number of American friends representing the Congregational, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Roman Catholie> Methodist, Bap» tist, Unitarian and Hebrew denominations. The Indian Christians-and missionaries of Ahmednagar express to all friends that grateful appreciation of aid in securing this much-needed and noble place of worship."

V*<+ One of the Important Duties of Physi ,»s and the Well-informed of the World is tQi lpaip as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufacturers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians arc the most careful as to the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy. TRUTH AND QUALITY appeal tfo the Well-informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc^ cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would enjoy good, health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question oi right, living with ail the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to1 that end and the use of iriedicihes dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won ^heappovalof physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufacture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of— Syrup of Figs—and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-In formed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company — California Fig Syrup Co.— plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for — Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the sfjne heretofore known by the name — Syrup of Figs — which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle. Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D.

How he fall* Into an ecstasy of laudation, spelling the very name with small cap itala, as if tho lower case were too mean for such a delicacy, and breaking away from the cheap encomiums of the vulgar tongue to hail it la sonorous Latin as prlnclpes obsoniorum. There is some truth in bis compliments, no doubt; but they are wasteful, excessive, imprudent For if all tils praise is to be lavished on plain, fresh, immature, roast pig; what adjectives shall we find for the riper, ricb^BB, more subtle and sustaining viand, broiled bacon? asks Henry Van Dyke, in Scrlbner's. On roast pig.a mas cannot work; often he cannot sleep, i.' he have partaken of . it immoderately. But bacon "brings to its sweetness no satiety." It strengthens the arm while it satisfies the palate. Crisp, Juicy, savory; delicately salt as the breeze that blows from tbe sea; faintly pungent as the blue smoke of incense wafted from a clean wood fire; aromatic, ^appetizing, nourishing, a .stimulant to the hunger which it appeases, 'tis the matured bloom and consummation of the mild little pig, spared by foresight for a nobler fate than juvenile roasting, and brought by art and man's device to a perfection surpassing nature. All the problems of woodland cookery are best solved by the liaconian method. And when we say of one escaping great disaster that he has "saved his bacon," we say that the physical basis and the quintessinal comfort of his life are untouched and secure. New Plan to 8ave Child Labor. A proposition to take all children inder 14 years of age from factories and other places of employment and send them to school has been made by N. O. Nelson, a millionaire manufacturer, to the women's clubs of St Louis. Mr. Nelson Is to pay the children half the amount they would receive for their work, and the clubs the other half. The clubs have yet to give their decision and, pending it, Mr. Nelson has undertaken to do the work himself, says Reader Magazine. He has investigated for several weeks past every application to the truant officer for permits for children under age to work in the factories, and has, at the present writing, found seven worthy cases. Each week these children call at Nelson's office and receive the money they would have been paid for working—an average of three dollars a week. Then the children have been returned to their schools. In less than one-third of the cases investigated by Mr. Nelson did he find the people to be actually in need of the children's services. Trouble Ahead. The trustees of the public library at Maiden, Mass., announce that they will not "put in circulation a novel which a decent woman may not read to a decent man without blushing." As this is a standard of excellence which cannot be applied a priori, it may be necessary to appoint a committee to exercise the novel censorship. The difficulty of finding a deecnt man will be equalled only by that of submitting a decent woman to such an ordeal, says the New York Post. The latter might, after a time, grow hardened and maintain a deathly pallor while reading aloud from dubious works. It would not always be easy to distinguish a blush of modesty from what novelists call " a flush of vexation." The man might even blush while tkfc woman remained pale, and, lastly, the blushing might be caused not by the book, but by the presence of the man. <&0%£&r Hears tbo Signature c? tn U » For Ove» 30 Veara.

He WAS glad t o think it was coming BO gently—like a kind mother soothing t i n to his last sleep. Htk head on his arm. his whole tired body relaxing in this new restfulness, he opened his eyes and iooked off, to the south, idly scanning the horizon, his eye* level with the sandy plain. Then something made him sit quickly up and stare intently, bis bared bead craning forward. To the south, lying low, a mass of light clouds, volatile, changing with opalescent lights as he looked. A little to the left of these clouds, while his head wa3 on the sand; he thought his eyes had detected certain squared lines. Now he scanned the spot with a feverish eagerness^ At first there was •nly the endless empty blue. Then, when his wonder was .quite dead and he was about to lie down, there came a miracle cf miracles,—a vision in the clear blue of the sky. And this time the lines were coherent. He, the dyins sinner, had caught, clearly and positively for one awful second in that sky, the flashing impression of a cross. It faded as soon as it came, vanished while he- gaced, leaving him in gasping, fainting wonder at the marvel. And then, before he could think or question himself, the sky once more yielded its vision; again that image of a cros« stayed for a second in hi3 eyes, and this time he thought there were figures about It. Some picture was trying to show itself to Mm\ SfHt1 reaching bis body forward, gazing fearfully, his aroused body pulsing swiftly to the wonder of the thing, he' began to pray* a*gaTn, striving to keep "O God, havl aer! t Slowly at first, it grew before his fixed eyes, then quickly, so that at the last there was a complete picture where but an instant before bad been but a meaningless mass of line and color. Set on a hill were many low, square' flat-topped houses, brown in color against the gray ground about them. In front of these houses was a larger structure of the same material, a church-like building such as he had once seen In s picture, with a wooden cross at the top. In an open square before this church were many moving persoiM strangely garbed, seeming to be ledlaa*. /They surged, for a moment' about the door 6t the church, then tacte*} to either side as if in answer to a signal, and he saw a procession of Use game reople coming with bowed hijg>, scourging themselves with shett whips and thorned • u i n h t i Ar their, head walked a biowe cowled' monk, holding aloft be. for* Mm a small cross, attached by a to U s waist As he led the proforward, another crowd, some of them being other brown-cowled mc-nks, parted before the church door, and th&p, clearly before his wondering eyls was erected a great cross Oft* isj|sfc£4 «&w the crucified Sa- He snnvthoee in the procession form sheet *gft*^(p*s sad fling themselves upon the grooad before It, while all the others rouniaooot-hnelt. He saw the memk, standfast alone, raise the smaller cross in his hands above them, as if in blessing. High above It all, he sawj the Crucified One, the head lying ofer on the shodlder. He sank back on the sands in an ecstasy*} His Witness had come—not as be thought it would, in a moment of spiritual uplift; but when he had been sank by his own sin to fearful depths. Nor had it brought any message of glory for himself, of gifts or powers. Only the mission of suffering and service and suffering again at the end. But it was enough. How long he lay in the joy of the pbalization he never knew, but sleep Or fsintness at last overcame him. Ma waa revived by the sharp chill of night, tnd sat up to find his mind aJett, and active with new pur- He had suffered greatly from • - thirst, so that when he tried to say a move his swollen tongue. Ha weakened, too, but the ireeeing cold of the desert night aroused all hit latent force. He struggled to his fast, and laid a course by the light of the moon- hack to the spring he had left iff the morning. How be reached the hills -again he never knew, nor how he made his way over them and back to the settlement. But there he lay sick for many days, his mind, when he felt it at all, tossing idly upon' the great sustaining consciousness of that vision in the desert The day which he next remembered clearly, and from which he dated hi* new Hfe, was one when he was back in the Meadows." He had ridden there in the first vagueness and weakness of his recovery, without purpose, yet feeling that he must go. What he found there made him believe he had been led to the spot Stark against the glow of the western sky aa he rode up, was a huge cross. He stopped, staring in wonder, beliving it to be another vision; but it ctayed before him, rigid, bare, and uncompromising. He lft his horse and climbed up to i t At its-has* was piled a cairn of stones, and against this was a slab with an inscription:— "Here 180 Men. Women, and Children Were Massacred* in Cold'Blood' Early In September, 1857." On the cross itself was carved in deep letters:— . \ "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." He fell on his knees at the foot and prayed, not weeping nor in any fever of fear, but as one knowing his sin himself and those who preached in the tabernacle. For his noma hexhose the settlement of Amnion, sat In a rich little valley betwen the shoulders of the Pine mountains. ., Late .in .October there waa tflniaheji for fctai on <he outer edge of the* town-,' near the hank of a little hill-born stream, a roomy log-house, mudcKmked, with a water-tight roof of sprue* shakes and a floor of whipsawed plank,—a residence lit for one of the foremost teachers in the Church, an Elder after the Order of Molchiaedekt an eloquent preacher and one true to the blessed Gods. At one end of the cabin, a small room was partitioned off and a bunk built in i t A chair and a water-basin on a block comprised its furniture. This room be reserved for himself. As to the rest of the house, his ideas were at first cloudy. He knew only that he wished to Berve. Gradually, however, as his" mind worked over the problem, the answer came with considerable clearness. He thought about It much on his way north* for h* was obliged to-make • trip to Salt Lake City to secure supplies for the winter, some needed articles of furniture for the house, and his wagons and stock. He was helped In his thinking on a day early in the journey. Near a squalid hut on the outskirts of Cedar City he noticed a woman staggering under an armful of wood. She was bareheaded, with hair disordered, her cheeks hollowed, and her skin yellow and bloodless. He remembered the 'Are You a Damned Mormorr?" and the sin of his Church. The burden of his prayer was, "O God, my own sin cannot be forgiven—I know it well—but let me atone for th-s sins of this people and let me guide them aright. Let me die on this cross a hundred deaths for each life they put out, or as many nore as shall be needed to save them." H* was strong in his..faith again, conscious that he himself was lost, but burning to save others, and hopeful, too, for he believed that a miracle had been vouchsafed to him in the desrt. Nor would the good padre, at the head of his procession of penitentB in his little mission out across the desert, have doubted less that H was a miracle than did this unhappy apostle of Joseph Smith, had he known the circumstance of its timeliness; albeit he had become familiar with such phenomena of light and air in the desert tale he had heard when he came down. He thought she must be that wife of Bishop Snow who had been put away. He rode up to the cabin as the woman threw her wood (nBide. She was weak and wretched-looking in the extreme, i house, glowing, as to one side of her CHAPTER XXI. The Sinner Chastens Himself. How to offer the greatest sacrifice— how to do the greatest service—these had become his problems. He concerned himself no longer with his own exaltation either in this world or the world to come. He resolved to stay south, fearing vaguely that in the north he would be in conflict with the priesthood. He knew not how; he felt that he was still sound in his faith, but he felt, too, __ Bome^unde/ln^d antagonism between ) now. In about two week*-'* ^And he pat the spare so viciously to his horse that he was nearly unseated by the startled animal's leap. Off on the Q&CA.. road again he thought it out Marriage had not been ]fi his mind when he spofce to i h f woman. He had meant only..k> glx# her a homo. But to her the idea had come naturally from his words, and he began to see that it was, indeed, not an unnatural thing to do. He dwelt long on this new idea, picturing at intervals the woman's lack of any charm rr beauty, her painful emaciaticn, her weakness. As he entered Brlghams office In Salt Lake City some days later, there passed out by the same door a woman whom he seemed dimly to remember. The left half of her face was disfigured by a huge flaming scar, and he saw that she had but one hand! "Who was that woman?" he asked Brigham, after they had chatted a little of other matters. '-That's poor Christina Lund. You ought to remember her. She was In your hand-cart party. She's having a pretty hard time of i t You see, s h e frose off one hand, so now she can't work much, and then she froze her face, so she ain't much for looks any longer—in fact, I wouldn't say Christina was much to start with, judging from the half of her face that's still good—and so, of course, she hasn't been able to marry. "The Church helps her a little now and then, but what troubles her most is that she'll lose her glory if she ain't married. You see, she ain't a worker and she ain't handsome, so who's going to have her sealed to him?" "I remember her now. She pushed the cart with her father in it from the Platte crossing, at Fort Laramie, clear over to Echo canyon, when all the fingers of one hand came off on the bar of the cart one afternoon; and then her hand bad to be amputated. Brother Brigham, she shouldn't be cheated of her place in the Kingdom." "Well,- she ain't capable, and she ain't a pretty person, so what can she do?" "I believe if the Lord is willing i will have her sealed to me." "It will be your own doings, Brother Rae. I wouldn't take it on myself to counsel that woman to anybody." "I feel I must do it, Brother Brigham." "Well, so be it if you say. She can be sealed to you and be a star in your crown forever. But I hope, now that you've begun to build up your kingdom, you'll do a little better, next time. There's a lot of pretty goodlooking young women came in with a party yesterday—" "All in good time, Brother Brigham! If you're wilMncr, I'll pick up my sec ond on the way south." "Well, well, now that's good!" and the broad face of Brigham glowed with friendly enthusiasm. "You know I'd suspicioned more than* once that you wasn't overly strong on the doctrinal point of celestial marriage. I hope your second, Brother Joel, is a little fancier than this one." "She'll be a better worker," he replied. <,,r~'ell, they're the most satisfactory in the long run; I've found that out myself. At any rate, i*'s best to lay the foundations of your kingdom with workers, the plainer ^he better. After that, a man can afford something in the ornamental line now and then. Now, I'll send for Christina and tell her what luck she's in. She hasn't had her endowments yet, so you might as well go through those with her. Be at the endowment-house at five in the morning." And so it befell that Joel Rae, Elder after tie Order of Melchisedek, and Christina Lund, spinster, native of Denmark, were on the following day, after the endowment-rites had been administered, married for time and eternity. From the altar they went to the wagons and began their journey south.

The Coming of the Woman-Child* The next day he sent across the settlement for the child, waiting for her with mixed emotions,—a trembling merge of love and fear, with, something, indeed, of awe for this woman* child of her mother, who had come to him so deviously and with a secret significance so mighty of portent at his own soul. When they brought her in at last, he had to brace himself te meet her. She came and stood before him, one foot a little advanced, Several dolls clutched tightly under one arm, and her bonnet swinging in the other hand. She looked up at him fearlessly, (fuestioningly, but with no sign of friendliness. He saw and felt her mother in all her being, in her eyes and hair, in the lines of her soft little face, and indefinably in her way of standing or ''moving. He was seized with a sudden fear that the mother watched him secretly out of the child's eyes, and with the child's lips might call to him accusingly, with what wild cries of anguish and reproach he dared not guess. He strove to say something to her, but his lips were dry, and he made only some halfarticulate sound, trying to force a smile of assurance. Then the child spoke, her serious, questioning eyes upon him unwaver« ingly. "Are you a damned Mormon?" (TO B E CONTINUED.) G0AT3 CLEAR BRUSH LAND. "I am Elder Rae. I want to know if you would care to go to Amalon with me when I come back. If you do, you can have a home there as long as you like. It would be easier for you than here." She had looked up quickly at him in much embarrassment. She smiled a little when he had finished. "I'm not much good t o work, but I think I'd get stronger if I had plenty to eat. I used to be right strong and well." "I shall be along with my wagons in two weeks or a little more. If you will go with me then I would like to have you. Here, here is money to buy you food until I come." "You've heard of me, have you— that I'm a divorced woman" "Yea, I know." She looked down at the ground a moment, pondering, then up at him with sudden resolution. "I can't work hard and—I'm n o t - pretty any longer—why do yon want to marry me?" Her question made him the more embarrassed of the two, and she saw as much, but she could not *ell why it was. "Why," he stammered, "why,—you see—but never micdL I ni^st hurry on khalt was made while he went for the face. She was, also, in a state of daze that left her able to say but little. Proud and harpy and ailent, her sole remark, the first day of the trip, was: "Brigham—now—he make such a lovely, bee-yoo-tiful God in heaven!" But his work of service had only begun. As they went farther south he began to make inquiries for the wandering wife of Elder Tench. He came upon her at length as she was starting north from Beaver at dusk. He prevailed upon her to stop with his party. "I don't mind to-night, sir. but 1 must be off betimes in the morning." But in the morning he persuaded her to stay with them. "Your husband is out of the country now, tut he's coming back soon, and he will stop first at my house when he does come. So stay with me there and wait for him." She was troubled by this at first, but at last agreed. "If you're sure he will come there first—" She refused to ride in the wagon, however, preferring to walk, ami strode briskly all day In the wake of the cattle. When they reached Cedar Citv a Flock Quickly Makes. Away with Tangle of Briars. A flock of Angora goats was put on a rocky hillside that it was desired to have cleared and put into grass. It was such a tangle of brush and briars that it was with.difficulty one could make a way through it. The goats actually ate .their, way in until it was penetrated with paths In all directions. After the leaves within reach were eaten they would stand on their hind feet with their forefeet in the branches and so eat the leaves higher up, or, if the brush was not too large, would throw their weight against and bend it to the ground, where others of the flock would help strip it of its foliage. The leaves would come out again only to be eaten off, then sprouts would come from the roots to share the same fate, until at the end of the second summer everything in the shape of a brush not- over six feettall, except' the pines and laurel, were completely killed and white clover was beginning to appear. These goats, with their long, curly white fleeces, attracted more attention than anything else on the place, hut, as can be imagined, they had to be well fenced In for they would run over a stone wall like dogs.

The Anarchist [Copyrtg-ht, 1908, by MoClure Newspaper Bjmdioate.] John Cunningham had been governor of Dartmoor prison for thirteen years, and during that long interval not a convict had succeeded in making his escape. The governor flattered himself ou this f.|ct. He lived four miles from tbe priotai, and the less he visited it the better things were run. Governor CuuulngluW finally decided to write a book 0^ criminology. That was u perfectly uuturul thing, since, he had so many specimens at hand. Ue meant that book to be a standard and to contain matter to astonish the world. He was entirely ignorant of his subject, but he went to work like u man who meuus business. To get his data he had to have prisoners brought before him to be questioned and to have their heads examined. The governor had boasted more than once that he could tell a predisposed criminal tun rods away. ^ n One of the prisoners called before the governor was James Broughton, who had received a sentence of five years for embezzlement. The family was a respectable one, and this was the first offense for a hundred years. Broughton himself had anything but criminal tendencies. He was well educated, well appearing and was remarked for his intelligence. The governor found in Broughton the acme for which he sought. lie put him down as a man who was born with the instincts of a thief. He did not credit him with ordinary Intelligence. He found him a victim of homicidal mania. Broughton had entered prison determined to make his escape if it was within the possibilities. After a year's good conduct he was named for the agricultural gang, the trusties who mowed the meadows and raised a share of the fresh vegetables consumed in the prison. He had friends outside to aid him in so far as furnishing him a suit of citizen's clothes and a small sum of money. He had made up his inh*d to go to South America, and he* ujfst have several hundred dollars. The fact that he knew not where to raise the money prevented his escape for mouths. It was not until after the Governor Cunningham's reign, ha was overanxious for the man's capture. In the course of a month fifty different man were arrested in different parts of England, but of course none of them proved to be the person wanted. Not until Broughton reached South America and knew that be could not be extradited did he give himself away.

As the agricultural gang marched back to prison one evening Broughton was missing, and the alarm was given. lie had found the suit, had been met by a friend with a horse„and buggy, and by the time the guards were scouring the country for him the convict was at the governor's house. A rather queer thing had happened to the governor teu years before, and as .the incident had been published it was common property In prison and out. He had made a trip to Russia, aided au auarchlst without knowing' what the man was, and after being shut up In a fortress for a mouth he had been given his litwrty uud escorted to the frontier. This humiliation raukled in his breast, and he was »not backward about saying to freeman or convict that he would do mosT-iinything to got square with the tti government, lie had been so oittsj ken that he had received a liintc, from his own government to moderate his speech. lie took warning by it, but he still chafed. The telephone called the governor up to inform him that a convict had escaped, nnd while he was, fussing about it the card of a strange* was brought in. The name was that of a Russian, and the governor at once thought of anarchists and nihilists and arbitrary measures and became hot. There was, a confab lasting an hour. The Russian did not hesitate to conlide In the governor. He informed him that a plot was on foot to overturn the government and raise a republic on its ruins. He was asked to assist In the conspiracy. He knew that such action would make him amenable to the law, and yet he remembered the dreary days and nights in that cell in the fortress. He had never talked with a more intelligent man. He had never met with another foreigner who spoke the English language so correctly. The w a n i n g received by the great man was ringing in his ears, but he thought of the miserable food, the wet straw and the manner in which he had been bounced out of the czar's dominions and warned to stay out. The telephone gave him the particulars of the convict's escape nnd Inquired about offering a reward, but he wns too busy to attend to such trifles. He first said no, but as the Russian rose to leave the house the governor brought out a bag containing $500 in gold and placed it on the table and turned his back and began to hum the air of a tune. The Russian tumbled to the subscription and murmured his thanks. With the gold he picked up one of the governor's cards. An hour later a train was bearing him to Liverpool. He was •topped on the way and stopped again as he went aboard a steamer for South America, but that card of the governor carried him through. The search for Broughton was thorough and long drawn out As it was the first escape from Dartmoor under Hence tfce Tears* "It Is strange bow some people cry at weddings."

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTOR CURED. Scene of Wreak ami Death. Michigan Central train No. 31, known *s the "American Express," making up time crashed into a light engine on the dreaded Shanghai curvfL two milee west of Tpailaatl. at 3:39 fetlock Thursday afternoon, killing five men, fatally injuring o*fv an* strewing the tracks for a quarter-mile with serape of the engine and cam.' Friday morning General Sunt. Nutt began a rigid investigation into tne ?ause of the wreck. Two causes seemed to have eontrinatad. the failure of the block semaphore to work and indefinite orders. The light engine was handling lee cars at Shanghai and had received or* ders to run in on a aiding to clear the main line for the big express traU at 3:45. The express train had orders for a clear right of way without mentioning the ice train, and was making up, lost, time, running at nearly 70 mi lea an hour. Believing that he had six minutes leeway, Engineer Roe, of the light engine, palled out on the main line just aa the hjg engine came whip ling around the curve dragging its load of express and mail cars, Engineer Scallen knowing nothing of the ice train. . The engines met at the switch, the express en&In'e slicing cornerwiae at the light engine. The semaphore east of the switch must have fatted to work or else Engineer Scallen failed to see^t. asjtfce advent of the ice engine on the clock should have set it against the express. The express train was made op of a big Pacific engine, a mail car, fire express cars and a car for the train crew. It ordlnarilr leaves Detroit for Chicago at 1:06 p. m., but Thursday a press of business made it necessary to nin two sections and the section which was wrecked left the M\ C. depot in Detroit at t:57, nearly two hours late. - A LEGAL ODDITY. The Hc»n. Albert Merritt was for three year« a member of the New .Teraoy State Senate, was a Presidential Elector, and is now Treasurer and General Manager of the Consolidated Has Co.. of 150 Nassau street, New York City. Tn 1882 he suffered severely from urinary and digestive trouble. He was sick from "head to foot." He was advised to use Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy and IT ('URKO HIM ABSOLUTELY. He Common Drunksnneef, Brings a New Form of SeAxerree. One year at diligent and industrious service on a farm was <he sentence imposed by Judge. Adams, <J Kalamazoo, upon James Hawley, charged with common drunkenness and disorderJy conduct. The sentence is a most remarkable one, because of its oddity, and as far as known it ia the only sentence of tfle kind ever imposed upon a prisoner: If at the end <f the year Hawley has obeyed erery rule imiKwed by the court, he will be at liberty to do as lie pleases, enjoying the sRme rfgfcts as any one who has serred a sentence for an offense. Kives rules were Imposed by Judge Adams upon which Hawley must Act accordingly. Ms rihavlor must be good and he must do nothing to molest or cause (rouble to his neighbors. He must driak no Intoxicants. He must ant rialt a barroom, saloon or gambling boose, or associate with any persons of had character. He must apply all of his earnings to keep himself and thr.se dependent upon him and must at aft times be diligent and indnstriooa. Mr. Perry Wrftee Up the Triata of « FIret.Termer. • Rep. J. M. Perry, of Oscoda, has attacked the house in a two-column article in the Tustjn Times', his hegaa paper, which he owns, and the faonee is boiling over with wrath at the audacious first termor. Hia letter was read .Monday evening to aa indignation meeting of 30 repreeentatlvea. One member has expressed the opinion that Rep. Perry should be charged with contempt. ' "•• The letter gives an account of hie experience aa a legislator. He aays ho came to the oapltol, and after climbing two flights of stairs he found the aec* ond termers had come up in an elevator. The second termers, Mr. Perry aims at particularly. He went by mistake through the main entrance, hut later entered by the cloak room, where a colored gentleman helped him off with hla coat, brushed him and prepared him. Since then, Mr. perry says, tL»j colored gentleman baa been regularly appointed, and Mr. Perry now takes off his own coat, and (he says) the colored gentlemen smokes and reads a yellow-backed novel, and haa a white assistant. Mr. Perry says he haa drawn pay six times, though he haa done only 12 hours' work. For the legislature's It heurs' work the people will pay $50,- 000, he estimates. He says his bill as made out for him for hla expenses to the Alger funeral was in excess of his expenditures and he wanted It corrected, but he was told that all the bills were uniform. One item of 11.84 for a meal on the train especially surprised him, aa he, not knowing the state would pay, bad eaten 15 cents' worth at a lunch counter. Bills presented by second termers, Mr. Perry thinks, are passed under suspension of the rules. First termers' bills go to committee. First termers, he humorously says, may not introduce the three favorite: motions of second term men;, to suspend the rules, to dispense with reading a bill, to adjourn. He even declares, to the great indignation of Speaker Whelan's friends, that the speaker once recognized the motion to adjourn of a member who was not in the house at all on that day. Mr. Perry thinks the people would he very indignant if they knew the alleged state of affairs. , (, Many membera-cnhslaer the Perry outbreak as*jbf api eorrfe^nienee except as a humorous" incident—^others are more serious.rs^fcing that the^immensely popular Speaker i WtieJan' Is criticised.

It was Wilbar Volga's desire, according to D. L.

It was the plan, Mr. McKay said, to make the city the headquarters of the Flying Rollers as 1t was the headquarters of the Dowieitea, If the deal went through.

The advocates of the metric system want no better justification than tables Just prepared for the year book of the British Auctioneers' institute. It Is learned from this that the price of wheat is made and the cereal Is sold in 20 different ways in England, Scotland and Wales. It is measured variously by the quarter, comb, load, boll, bushel, barrel, hundredweight, cental, windle and hobbet Further confusion is caused by varying weights of a bushel in different parts of the country. A boll is three bushels in some places and four and sfx in others. There are similar absurd variations in other weights and measures. For instance, a stone of meat in eight pounds, a stone of iron 14 pounds, a stone of cheese, 16 pounds and a stone of hemp 32 pounds. There are seven different areaa of the standard acre In Great Britain.

She says: "My trouble began about six years ago and I did not rest as I should have, but kept up about my many duties. After a time I became go weakv I could not do any work at all. I had severe backaches and such dreadful headaches In the back part and top of my head. My eyes were easily tired and at times I saw black 6pots before them. I consulted several doctors but without the slightest benefit. The pains were so intense that my hair turned white.

In Cameron County, Texas* the ears are setting on the stalks when the tows farmer is planting his crop. "Roasting ears" are in the market in that region in the early spring, as well as in the late fall, and at Christmastide. Take alfalfa, also: The Northern : farmer who is satisfied with three or four cuttings a year from his alfalfa field will hardly believe even the conservative facts about alfalfa in Cameron County, Texas. Here the farmer harvests seven or eight cuttings in the first year. Sugar cane, as is generally known, is grown by planting the stalks themselves in furrows, but this does not have to be done every year. In the Rio Grande Valley of Texas a single planting will last for eight or ten year&. Another point: Rio Grande cane contains about thirty per cent, more sugar than that of other localities. It was this fact that won the gold medal at the St. Lduis Exposition for cane from the Ciosner plantation, near Hidalgo, Texas, which is •fifty miles above Brownsville.

Hardest of all to, understand was the hotel dining-room, Instead*1 of one or two long tables it had provision' for seating, guests in groups of two. three, four or more. ThTs, however, was the smallest Innovation' of the hotel dining-room. Farmers accustomed to drive to town with a feed of oats in the wagon for their horses and to dine at the general table of a small inn at a price sometimes as* low as 25 cents, never above half a dollar, heard with sceptical astonishment of the doings at the new hotel. The dtntttjrwatt\nmATihtor' learned, in as many as six courses, with cheese at the end that smelled dreadful and coffee without milk In little cups that did not hold more than two thimblefuls. r "' ,/ Some of the farmers sneaked in shame-facedly and tried that dinner, which, of coarse, was served at midday. The experience of having fish, served as a separate course immediately after the 'soup Was alarming; for some feared that there might be nothing else to come. Then those queer made dishes that came after the fish were puzzling. It was only when the roast came on with the familiar vegetables that the farmers began to feel themselves at home, and even then the shifting of plates and knives was embarrassing. Some noticed that « few guests had wine bottle* at "their places, "antf at this the farmers from the back country shook their heads, and wondered what Delaware was coming to. It was all well enough for a man to slip into the barroom, and gulp a glass of whisky alone, or with a friend if he happened to be thirsty, but this thing of drinking wine with your meals was a bad sign. When the dessert time came everybody ordered everything on the bill of fare, as, indeed, the farmers had mostly all the way through the meal, but the cheese was Lent away In haste untasted, and there was a firm demand early in the course of the dinner for coffee in large cups with milk. There was a good deal of grumbling W**» tt was found that, eat as fast as « aftea might, he could hardly get thnmgb the dinner in less than half an hour, and much surprise Was ex-1 a r e m & n y sorts of needles, for.surpassed that some of the guests sat «*ons'v cooks', glovemakers', weavers', the better part of ah hour at table. x Those farmers who were not too much ashamed* of what they had. done that dinner.

Few people While threading 'a needle have ever given a thought to the various processes through which the wire must pass before it comes out a needle. Yet the manufacture of needles includes some 21 different processes from cutting the wire and threading the double needles by the eyes to separating the two needles on the one length of wire, heading, hardening in oil, cleaning out the sides of the eye, point-setting, and final polishing.

"Fof the last 2f> years," writes a Maine man, "I've been troubled .with Dyspepsia and liver complaint, and have tried about every known remedy without much in the way of results until I took up the food question. "A friend recommended Grape-Nuts food, after I had taken all sorts of medicines with only occasional, temporary relief. "This was about nine months ago, and I began the Grape-Nuts for breakfast with cream and a little sugar.; Since then I have had the food for at least one meal a day, usually for breakfast. "Words fail to express the benefit I received from the use of Grape-Nuts. My stomach is almost entirely free from pain and my liver complaint is about cured, I have gained flesh, sleep well can eat nearly any kind of food axcept greasy, starchy things and am strong and healthy at the age of 70 years.
