PIN(JKJi*Y, - MICBUQAN ssr Explosion of the Earth. We frequently hear j.he theory ad vanced that the planets and aims ex plode aud that our own earth might poealbJy explode Xrum pent-up forcei within. A high exploitive exerts about the limit of pressure' capable of being exerted by gasea aet free and expand ed by the heat generated by any chemical reaction. Such a pressure, great tm It 1H, Its far too insignificant to explode the earth. Were the'whole great molten interior of our globe to be replaced by dynamite aud detonated, the exploBiqu would not lift the earth's crust. We have but to calcu late the weight of a column of gran lte of a height equal to the thickness of the earth's crust to see that the pressure of the crust on the molten Interior far exceeds the pressure exerted by exploding dynamite. We have seen that the speed of the detonative wave is about lour-miles per second. The speed of the earth in its orbit is lour times as great, declares Hudson Maxim, in the Independent. If, theretore, the Interplanetary space of our solar system were to be filled with an explosive mixture capable of being detonated and consumed with the speed of dynamite, and if this were to be set off just behind the earth In its orbit, the earth would not feel It, but WQuld rapidly rush away from the wave of explosion, pass clear around the sun, and come back again to meet it more than six months later. It would take nearly a year for such a detonative wave to reach our sun from the earth. If the earth itself were a ball of dynamite, It would require half an hour to explode; and if the sun were a mass of dynamite, It would require about two and a half days to explode.

TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF . • — '•- Ttie Men Who Committed the HorrL bl« Crime 8eern* To Be Bane and May Recover. New Custom* Regulations. With a view to securing greater courtesy and dignity in the administration of tne customs laws, the treasury department has iBsued a series of Instructions to Inspectors, copies of which will be furnished to each passenger on Incoming steamers from foreign countries. For the purpose of customs administration, passengers are divided into non-residente of the United States and residents. This classification has no reference to citizenship. Non-residents are of three classes: actual residents of foreign countries; persons who have been abroad with a fixed foreign abode for one year or more, who elect to declare as non-residents, and persons who have been abroad for two years, with or without a fixed place of foreign abode, who elect to declare as non-residents. Residents include all others. There ii no limit to the value of articles which non-residents may bring in free of duty, explains the Youth's Companion, provided they are articles actually accompanying the passenger, and necessary and appropriate for his or her use for the purposes of the journey and present comfort and convenience, and not intended for other persons or for sale. Residents may bring In all wearing apparel and other personal effectB which they took abroad with them, if not remodeled abroad to the value of $100, if the articles are not for sale. Under the new regulations passengers are not required to make oath to their declarations. The offer of a bribe or a "tip" to a customs officer will continue to be held aa A violation of the law. Fiendieh Work' Lying at the point of death, with chances favoring the latter, John E. Jones, a well to-do farmer, is In his home at Bear Lake, Pleasanton township, with a jagged gash in his throat. His little G-year-©ld crippled son, victim of a crazed father, lays dead in an adjoining room. Fiendish care was exercised In committing the fearful deed. Taking hU sou to a room in the second story of the farm house, Jones locked the door and there made the sacrifice. The child's throat was cut so that death must have been almost instantaneous. Jones was not so successful in his next attempt. He gashed his throat and then his haud failed him. He was found a few minutee later by a member of the family lying on the floor in a welter of blood.- Jones's daughter, running to the road to get a neighbor, saw Dr. Norconk, and hurried him to the death chamber. "He may yet live," was tf*e doctor's opinion after a hasty examination. Apparently Jones heard and understood for at that instant he made another savage slash at his throat with the razor, which he had kept concealed to that time. The second cut made his condition much worse. Jones's appearance lately has not indicated ill health, though his nervous condition has been such that he could do no work on the farm this season. Members of his family say that he acted a little strangely for a few days preceding the tragedy but they had no occasion to feel alarmed. He undoubtedly brooded over the condition of the child which was crippled and was also mentally deficient. Jones is about 48 years of age. He had many friends and was known as a genial, good natured man with more than the usual fondness for his children. Queer Antics These. When lightning tore a hole in the roof of the residence of William Money the bqJt caused damage in bath room and kitchen and went crashing into the shed at the rear of the latter.

The tops were removed, the contents taken out and the cans filled with clothespins from a basket which stood near the cupboard.

An admirer of "Home, Sweet Home" has bought the building—it is more than 200 years old—and will move it to another site and remodel its interior for use as a summer home. The outside will be unchanged, so that those may be gratified who wish to see the place which Payne had in Brffld when he wrote, "Re it ever humble, there's no place like home. A Scathing Rebuke. Wellington Taylor, of Fenton, who was arrested for neglecting to provide for his wife, who is dying of consumption at the home of her sister was rebuked in scathing terms by the court when arraigned before Justice Halsey. In adjourning the case for four weeks the court rounded out his denunciation of the accused by admonishing him to hasten to the bedside of his wife and make her as comfortable as possible in her last hours. "If you go over there and say one unkind word to your poor wife," the court added by way of a parting warning, "you will be sorry for it when you come before this court again." Taylor, who is able-bodied and capable of earning good wages, was profuse in his promisen to do what he could to make amends for his neglect of his wife in her helpless and pitiable condition, and the local authorities will see to it that he fulfills them to the letter.

Fairbanks, vice-presldeni of the United States, was defeated in Columbus for delegate to the quadrennial conference of the M, K church. The temperance laymen refused to condone what they regard as an unpardonable offense against temper ance, and the distinguished candidate went down because of having served cocktails and three kinds of wine at the dinner given to President Roose velt on Memorial day at the Fairbanks home. There were IH candidates for the seven places, but it was fully believed that the vice-president would head the delegation by being selected by acclamation. Ju*t before the voting, however, a decided change of feeling was Shown and temperance laymen Insisted on all the names being voted on: This was decided on.

"I have more trades outstanding, both buys and sella; than any other member or house. Before deciding whether1 to adjourn in an attempt to sav« 'the Street,' I ask your consideration of thiaf'propositlon: If the exchange will suspend operations for 30 minutes, and allow me to address the members on the floor, I will agree to buy stocks all around the room, until they have regained at least half their drop —all of it, if possible. I will buy until I have exhausted to the last hundred my fortune ot a billion dollars. This should make an adjournment unnecessary. I know that this Is a most extraordinary request, but you are confronted with a most extraordinary situation, the most remarkable in the history of the stock exchange. Already, if what they say on the floor is correct, over 200 banks and trust companies throughout the country have gone under, and new failures are being announced every minute. Half the members of this and the Boston and Philadelphia exchanges are insolvent and have closed their doors, or will close them before three o'clock, and the shrinkage in values so far reported runs over fifteen billions. Unless something is done before the close, there wijl be a similar panic In every exchange and bourse in Europe to-morrow." The committee instantly voted to lay the proposition before the full board. In another minute the president's gavel sounded, and the floor was still as a tomb. All eyes were fixed on the president. Every man in that great throng knew that upon the announcement they were about to hear, might depend, at least temporarily, the welfare, not only oj Wall street, but of the nation, pen hap* even of the civilized world. The preajdanl spoke: •'slenrtfcrs of the New York, Stock tfxcnadge: "The governing committee instructs me to say that Mr. Robert Brownley has asked that operations be suspend* ed for 30 minutes,'in ordef that lie be allowed to- address you. - Mr. Brownley has agreed, if this, request be granted, he will upon resumption of operations purchase a sufficient amount of stock to raise the average price of all active shares at least one' half their total drop—all of it, If possible. He agrees to buy to the limit of his fortune of a billion dollars. I now put Mr. Brownley's request to a vote. All those In favor of granting It will signify the same by saying 'Yes.' " A mighty roof-Hfting "Yes" sounded through the room. "All those opposed, 'No/ " There was a deathly hush. "Mr. Brownley will please speak from this platform, and remember, in 30 minutes to the second, I will sound the gavel for the resumption of business." Bob Brownley strode to the place ju9t vacated by the president. The crowd was growing larger every minute. The ticker was already hissing a tape blograph of this extraordinary situation in brokerage shops, hotels, and banks throughout the country, and in a few minutes the news of It would be in the capitals of Europe. Never before in history did man have such an audience—the whole civilised world. Already arose from Wall, Broad and New streets, which surround the exchange, the hoarse bellow of the gathering hordes. Before the ticker should announce the resumption of business these would number hundreds of thousands, for the financial district for more than an hour had been a surging mob. For once at least the much-abused phrase, "He looked the part," could be used in all truthfulness. As Robert Brownley threw back his head and shoulders and faced that crowd of men, some of whom he had hurt, many of whom he had beggare*. and all of whom he had tortured, he presented, a picture such as a royal lion recently from the Jungles and just freed from his cage might have made. Defiance, deference, contempt, and pity all blended in his mien, but over all was an I-am-the-one-you-are-themany atmosphere of confidence that turned my spinal column into a mercury tube. He^ began to speak: "Men of Wall street: "You have Just witnessed a recordbreaking slaughter. I have ', asked permission to talk to you for the purnose of showing you how any member of a great stock exchange may at any time do what I have done today. Weigh well what I am about to say to you. During the last quarter of a century there has grown up in this free and fair land of ours a system by which the few take from the maay the results of their labors. The men who take have no. more license, from flod or man, to tajte, than have those from whom they filch. They are not endowed by God with superior wisdom, nor have they per* formed tor their fellow-men any labor or given to them anything of value that entitles them to what they take. Their only license to plunder is their knowledge of the system of trickery and fraud that they themselves have created. No man can gainsay this, for on every side is the evidence. Men come into Wall street at sunrise without dollars; before ttfat same sun sets they depart with millions. So all-powerful has grown the system of by the manipulation of that labor and by Utrattog-.pebble* imto no&ey he took away from the Jaborer the money which' he had paid them for the labor until all In the land were slaves of the moneymaker. These few tricksters said: We will arbitrarily manufacture these chips—stocks. After we have manufactured them, we will sell the world what the world can pax for, and then by the use of the unlimited supply we still have we will Win away from the world what it has bought, and repeat the operation, until we have all the wealth, and the people are enslaved. To do this there was one thing besides the manufacturing of the chips—stocks—that was absolutely necessary—a gamblinghell, the working of whose machinery would place a selling value upon such chips; a hell where, after selling the chips, they could be won back. I saw that it these tricksters were to be routed and their 'System' was to be destroyed, it must be through the machinery of this stock exchange. I ^studied the machinery, and presently I marvelled that men could for so long have been asses. "From the very nature of stockgambling it Is necessary, absolutely necessary, that it be conducted under certain rules, unchangeable, unbreakable rules, to attempt to change or break which would destroy stockgambling. The foundation rule, the rule absolutely necessary for the existence of stock-gambling is: Any member of the stock exchange can buy, or sell, between the opening and closing of the exchange as many shares of stock as he cares to. With 'I Wi|l Buy Until I Have Exhausted My Fortuna of a Billion Dollars." oppression that single men take in a single lifetime all the savings of a million of their fellows. To-day the people, 80,000,000 strong, are slaving for the few, and their pay is their board and keep. I saw this robbery. I felt the robbers' scourge. I sought the secret. I found it here, here in this gambling-hell. I found that the stocks we bought and sold were mere gambling chips; that the man who had the biggest stack could beat his opponent off the board; that his opponent was the world, because all men directly or indirectly played the stock-gambling game. To win, it was but necessary to have unlimited chips. If chips were bought and sold, on equal terms, by all, no one could buy more than he could pay for, and the game, although still a gambling one, would be fair. A few master tricksters, dollar magicians, long ago seeing this condition, invented the system by which the people are ruthlessly plundered. The system they invented was simple, go simple that for a quarter of a century it has remained undiscovered by the world at large—and even by you, who profess to be experts. No man thought that a free people who had intended to allow all the equal use of every avenue for the attainment of wealth, and who Intended to provide for the safeguarding of wealth after it was secured, could be such dolts as to allow themselves to be robbed of all their accumulated wealth by a device as simple as that by which children play at bllndman'a-buff. The process was no more complex than that employed by the robber of old. who took the pebbles from the b**€h, masked them (money, and with <<&* money "bought the labor of bis. ttQnws, and ber at hli storey and there could be aoAtottk-gamhllng WheaJ hxLworkod this out, I saw that while the few tricksters of the *tifeat*tf bad a perfect device for taking irom the people their wealth. I had discovered as perfect a means of takjaf away from the few the wealth they had secured ironi the man/. With {his knowledge came a conviction that my way was as honest as the 'System's/ in IMCL, more honest than theirs. They, took from the Innocent, 1 took from the guilty what had already been dishonestly secured. I determined to put my discovery into practice. "1 might never have done so but for that Sugar panic in which I was robbed of millions by the 'System' through Barry COnant. In that panic the 'System,' with its unlimited resources, filched from the people by the arbitrary manufacture of stocks, and by their manipulation did to me what I afterward discovered I could do to them, without any resources other than my right to do business on the floor of this exchange. You saw the outcome, in the second Sugar panic, of my first experiment. In a few minutes I cleared a profit of |10,- OOOlbog. I could have zuade it fifty millions, or one hundred and fifty, but I was pot then on familiar terms with my new robber-robbing device, and I had yet a heart. To make this ten millions of money, all that was necessary for me to do was to sell more Sugar than Barry Conant could buy. (TO BE CONTINUE!*) 8 T Y L E 8 OF 4,000 Y E A R 8 AGO. Tend to Prove There Is Nothing New Under the Sun. For women archeology assumes a deeply Interesting phase In the question which has been raised by Signer Mo&so as to styles in dress as they existed 4,000 years ago. Slgnor Mosso, the eminent authority on ancient Etrurla, the Roman Forum, and early Crete, has concentrated his great experience and knowledge on elucidating this bypath of science from his Cretan studies. The general result has been to confirm the old dictum that there Is nothing new under the sun. Even the "latest fashions" are antiquated. Slgnor Mosso finds that 4,000 years ago the ladies of primeval Mycenae wore hats pretty much as they are seen in the showrooms of Paris to-day. They knew what crape trimming was, had tartans before the Scotch, understood the mysteries of corsets lacing in front, short wide sleeves, metal belts, and a style of dress which an imitative nineteenth century, that considered Itself original, dubbed "Empire." Their principal colors in robes were orange, yellow, blue and purple, which rather upsets the claim of the Phoenicians to have "discovered" purple. HAD BORROWED A PAST. this rule in force his buying and selling cannot be restricted to the amount he can take and pay for, or deliver and receive pay for, because there is not money enough in the world to pay for what under this same rule can be bought and sold in a single cession. This is because there have been arbitrarily created by these few tricksters many times more stocks than there \s money in existence. The amount of stock that any man can sell in one session of the exchange Is limited only by the amount that he can offer for sale, and he can offer any amount his tongue can utter; and he is not compelled and cannot be compelled to show his ability to deliver what he has offered for sale until after he has finished selling, which la the following day. You will ask as I did: Can this be possible? you will find the answer 1 found. It is so, and must continue to be so, or there will be no stock-gambling. Mark me, for this statement is weighted with the greatest Import to you all. A member of this exchange can sell as many shares of stock at one session as he cares to offer. If any attempt is made at the session he sells at to compel him either before or after he offers to sell to show his ability to deliver, away goes the stock-gambling structure, because from the very nature of the whole structure of stockgamblinR the same shares are sold and resold many times In each session and the seller cannot know, much less show, that he can deliver until he first adjusts with the buyer and the buyer cannot adjust until after he has become such by buying. If a rule were made compelling a seller to show his responsibility before selling, every member would have every otheT mem- Prttsburg Man's Unique Scheme for Pleasing His Bride. There is a man in Pittsburg who will be married In a short while, and will occupy the house a few rooms of which he has used during his bachelor days. He takes the greatest pleasure In showing his intimate friends about the place, And is especially delighted at the astonishment they express when his own "den" is reached. He has always been a quiet, studious fellow, but as refitted the room gives the appearance of the lounging place of a regular rounder. There are racks of long pipes; photographs of actresses are stuck about the chimney glass; a shelf of beer steins runs all the way around the room, and a few feminine gloves, handkerchiefs, and fans are scattered about.

Bangs' beautiful - blush lighted Up Mrs. Prunes" boarding house om every occasion that se&tlmeat sma .under discussion. You see, Bangs was m love, love was in Bangs; it penetrated his whole system; he saw and felt nothing elsa but love. Bangs hadn't fallen In love; he had risen, and now he was at the top notch; he was balancing on his toe on the top rung, and be found it quite hard to maintain his balance. Yet he was a cool-headed young man—except on the love proposition. Josephine wag her name, and it wav enough to hear Bangs pronounce it to know that he loved her passionately. Among other drawbacks which kept Bangs from declaring his love was that Josephine had a mother. An austere woman, she wasn't passioustw over Bangs, because Bams* was only a drygoods salesman. Her husband had been a plumber before Josephine's mother got hold of him and made him raise the price and keep it there. Several times she had snubbed him, and Bangs went as cheerfully to her house as one does to an icehouse in winter. One night Tangs worked himself up and was about to pitch into a ps> posal, when, suddenly, softly, with a swish of skirts, Josephine's mother entered the room and sat down between them. The hot words froze in his mouth, while Josephine's mother was gazing passively through her lorgnette and looking at him as she would have studied a water color in an art gallery. It was all off that night. Bangs knew it. Again he tried to slip in a word or two of love edgewise—but—no—Josephine's mother was there. He didn't know when he could see Josephine alone. Immersed in his murky thoughts, he sat behind his counter and tried to figure a way out. A light broke suddenly upon him. Rushing eagerly to the 'phone, he called Josephine's house. "O. I'm so glad it's you, Josephine. Don't interrupt me. I've something to say and I must say it quickly. I love you, Josephine, I love you. Will you marry me?:' He pressed the receiver to his eat and listened latently for her soft, coo ing "Y-y-y-es-s." Fuddenly he slammed the receive? down and looked about like a hunted animal. "Well, I'll be blamed," he gasped, as soon as he could. "I—I thought It was Josephine and, there. It was her mother. What shall I do?" All Bangs (Id was to blush and bite his finger nails. In fact, that wag about all there was left for him to dc now. Tims and Sex Have Changed. Men nowadays are ashamed—absolutely ashamed—of tendering to women any of the little delicate at tentions and courtesies tnat in the past endeared them to womanhood. A man now raises his hat to a woman not as a tribute to the sex, a sign of respect and observance, but more as the enforced fulfillment of an Irksosse duty. Where are the graceful curves and flourishes of the hat, the step back, the deep bow and courtly smile of the seventeenth, nay even the eighteenth century? Then it was a pleasure to meet a man in the street; one felt one's sway of sex. Who Is now inclined to acknowledge a hideous smirk and a grudging touch of a hat brim?—London Judy. Grateful Sparrow. A three-year-old boy killed a snak« which was in the act of robbing a song sparrow's nest. Ever since then, whenever he goes into the garden, the father sparrow flies to him, sometimes alighting on his head and at other times on his shoulder, all the time pouring out. a tumultuous song of praise and gratitude. It accompanies him about the garden and never leaves him until he reaches the gate. The gratitude which could change th« timid, wild nature of a bird in such manner must, have had Its origin in a feeling whose depths can be fathomed only In the psychical habitudes of the most refined of human beings.

On, stating that I diil not care to eat, he told me that it would be better If I did no work, so 1 sat down for half an hour and watched the ethers. At noon we had an hour and a half and at 4 o'clock fifteen minutes for lunch. It may be oMnterest to some readers to know what the German eats. For his first breakfast he generally has a milk roll and a cup of coffee. The second breakfast Is almost always a slice of bread with lard or goose oil, a piece of sausage or cheese and a bottle of beer. For dinner he has two slices of bread as above, with a herring or large green pickle, cheese or sausage am! another bottle of beer. For lunch another bottle of beer and a milk roll. For Rupper soup and potatoes. This is the general variety of foods we had for the four months I worked In that fdicp. and they had it day in and day out- New York World.

Finding a Grave With an Egg. The Mlnu-tszc, a little known tribe in Asia, are very superstitious about death and will not bury a man until they have first tested the ground with nn egg. This operation is very curious. While the body is being prepared for burial a number of Mlau-tsze. including the male relatives of the deceased. go out to the api>oinled spot bearing a large basket of eggs. Stooping down. one of The natives lets an egg drop softly on the ground. If it breaks it i.s considered on ill omen, and another Rpot is selected. In lliis way the party often wnniie'- about for hours, breaking eggs over tli••; ground until they finally strike a p'ace where the shell does not crack. 0 I ' 2 3 4 s () , 8 y 10 1 ' f T ?. 13 14 I ^ K> I 7 . i n 1 1 i ' J! 1 2 3i 4 5 6 7 8, <>!

(Copyright, by Joaeph It. Bowle«.) A Point of View. The new • steamer City of was laid up for repairs and one of the rickety Dld-timers of the like was sailing in her place. A passenger who was somewhat irritated by the fact remarked to another, an Irishman, by the way: "The City of always gets in at two in the morning and this old tub never gets in before six." The Irishman thought for a moment and replied: "It's all right. The distance is just the same and we get a longer sail for the money."

She goes out into the pleasant, cosy kitchen; Charley has already built the Are Iff the range, and has gone on into the large shed room they call hi a "work-shop," where he is occupying his spare hours in 'constructing a set of furniture, from original patterns, for a spare bedroom Nellie is planning to arrange. "Well, he may feel fresh and lively and like working," thinks Nellie, balfsullenly, as she listens to the cheerful, mellow whistle with which he keeps time to the music of his tools. "He slept like a rock all night. I don't suppose he ever guesses how little Bleep or rest I got—or cares, either, maybe." Which last is clearly unjust; and Charley Burt is one of the best husbands in the whole world, as Nellie herself is often heard to say. She goeB mechanically about her morning duties, preparing the breakfast she knows Charley likes best, and patting up a dainty dinner, in his neat lunch-basket—for he does not come home till night—all the time hoping against hope that baby will not waken till she gets some ;of the most needful work don*. The very sunshine falls to cheer her with Its brightness. Breakfast over, he says cheerfully: "Nell, I wish you'd sew a button or two on my coat; I've missed sqme this day or so." His tone is the, furthest possible from a hint of fault-finding. She says: "Yes, Charley," very quietly; but lifts the offending gar- SMALL PILL. SMALL DOSE. SMALL PRICE.

K. Barton, OarhsavOa, 8«es them Bring in the Loves. Man 8he timet with a spiteful jerk; and goes into the bedroom to select from their box on her work-table some Buitable buttons and the wherewithal to apply them. But just as she turns away with full hands, those wicked buttons escape from her hold, and with the natural perversity that animates all things some days, they cease not their rolling till they have bestowed themselves far under the dressing-case, I quite beyond reach. A hasty excla roation springs to her lips, but is { bravely repressed, while the vexed frown deepens. Losing temper and patience together, she puts forth all h her strength and lifts the dressing- j case clear away from the wall, rolling it aside while she picks up the fugitive buttons. "8ay, Nell, hold on there," calls Charley, observing this exploit through the open door. "Why don't you let me help you? You ought not to do such things; you know you'll hurt, yourself." "Oh, well, it doesn't, matter," she returns, desperately, "I'm sure to be worked to death, somehow; it may as well be one thing as another." For a moment honest Charley looks at his young wife with eyes and mouth open; never has he heard such words from her before. In that moment it seems to dawn upon him for the first time how much sharper is the outline of the still pretty face, how pale the once pink cheeks, what dark lines under the blue eyes, how tired a look about the child-like mouth. He sits down suddenly, in the completeness of the shock. "Nell," he says, presently, "if you are working too hard, why don't you have a young girl to help, or put out something—the washing, for instance? It isn't absolutely necessarv that you should 4o everything; yon mustn't ovuajMlltt, if we don't make up- that last payment this year." "1 shall do all my own work—unless I'm sick—until we are quite out of debt and have laid something by," u the firm reply—she Is somewhat calmer now. "Didn't I agree to, when we laid our plans at first?" "But not unless you are able, Nell; I won't have you over-work; you are not looking very well, It seems to me." "Of course I am able," stubbornly, yet struggling to keep back the weak tears at these words of sympathy. Of course I am well; what should ail me? And as for what I do, you never see me doing much, do you?" with somewhat bitter emphasis. She gives him the coat, proceeds to clear away the breakfast thlugs, but Just then baby Carl's shrill notes ascend. "That baby!" she exclaims, with no very tender inflection; and dropping cups and saucers, she hastens to relieve his sufferings. Charley has his coat on by this time, and is about to start; he has a 15-mlnutes' ride to his work. He steps into the bedroom and stoops over little Carl. ' "' -Come, Nell, my girl." be calls, cheerily, "fetch us the good-by kiss." "Oh, I'm busy," replies Nell, tartly, from the depths of the closet where she is selecting baby s clotnes, "kiss Carl instead, that will do as weJL I don't doubt you think a good deal more of him than you do of me anyway/' with perversely bitter intonation. If she thinks he will hasten to her and coax her out of her pet, she is greatly mistaken; he is not used to any such moods in his bright little helpmate, 'so does not know how to take.thexrx THere te a. sudden silence, then she faces round just in time to see hitri give baby Carl one long^kiss, and he turns tfway mute and hurt, and is gone. She hesitates a moment, too proud to call to him even then, till at last her teat* »con<iue$ir and: she rims after hUja;, hut it is too^ate; he has "passed out: of the side-door, gone down the walk and is Just stepping on board the waiting horse-car. How heavily the day passes'after this, only a tender-hearted wbman mastered by the same failing can know. Never before.has, she spoken such words to the husband she loves so dearly; never before since their wedding-day. haye they parted ifor even a few hours without a kiss and a loving word. Theirs has been a very happy marriage, too, having in it all the elfc raents of prosperity and content*. Charley Burt' Ut a\ij*>ii8e-carpenter by trade, a first-rate mechanic, sober, ln--j dustrious, earning good wages and constantly advancing at his work. They b*ve a cosy little home, a pretty cottage in the suburbs. To-day she goes about the pretty rooms tidying everything as usual, and for the first time takes no pride or pleasure in them. • She gets through her routine-work somehow, doing all she thinks of or finds time for, because to leave anything undone would only add to the suffering of a mind ill at ease; but there is a heavy weight of misery at her heart. Will night ever come—and bring her Charley home? At last everything is done; she has prepared! a most inviting supper for her "good man," saying to herself: "I'll take baby Carl and run down to the gate and meet him when he comes—then we'll kiss and make up." Still he does not come, and It, is quite past his usual hour. She sits patiently holding her boy, her face growing all the time more white and drawn and anxious. "Oh, how I wish I had said goad-by just as ever to-day J" she whispers for the twentieth time; then as the slow minutes creep along, "I am afraid^— oh, so afraid something has happened," for though he is sometimes a little late, it is very s^dom that his j time of coming varies a half-hour— and now It Is two honjfji, and her vague presentiments of evil are growing to a dreadful certainty. She gets' up and walks the floor, tired out as she is; another hour passes, and in the extremity of her distress and terror she hi about to run across to her- nearest neighbor, wheajjs muffle^ tramping approaches and atop*—"the feet of them that bear him are at his gates." It seems to Nellie Burt that she dies a dozen deaths in that moment, while she stands rooted to the spot and sees them bring in the man she loves, senseless, bleeding, broken; then she rouses herself, and it is her ready hand that arranges the bed and smooths the pillow under the poor tmeofa«)*o%sB head. , Nat*, •lajid^nQ—ihat would have been a punishment greater than pool Nellie deserves, and more tEaif ehie could hear; but there has been atn accident—a scaffolding has fallen, and among the half-doseu men killed or injured Charley Burt has fared beat of any—only a broken arm, a dislocated shoulder, and some cuts and bruises.; He has been well cared for, too, and only conveyed to his home when the attending surgeon has decided that there are no internal injuries, and that he can safely be moved. But the dread "might have been" stands .out before her then so clear and plain that It leaves Its Impress on her very soul; and In ail the rest of her life it helps to teach her the great lesson of patience and aeifcontrol. So matters might have been xnuoh worse, after all; as it is, Nellfe Burt's bad day ends with a perfect reconciliation between husband and wife, and a most grateful thanksgiving to God from one tender heart that she has been spared that sharpest pang of all—the utter misery of knowing that for this world her penitence has come too late.

J.—Certainly heroism is measured by the sacrifice the hero willingly makes. So what greater hero than a tramp who dropped a Bandwich he was eating and took a bath to save two boys from drowning. John Phelps, a farmer near here, the boyB' grateful father, offered the tramp a good home and good wages ns a farm hand.' "Anything," said the tramp, shuddering, "anything but work." William Phelps, 13 years, and Charles, 11, went swimming in a basin of the Morris canal near their home. Charles dived,'struck hiB head on a sunken canal boat, and floated, nearly senseless. William jumped to his rescue. Charles seized the brother arid, struggle as he might, William could not free himself. The brothers were sinking the second time .when around a bend of the road jumped the hero hobo. He was devouring a sandwich a farmer's wife had just given him, and wondering, probably, where his next meal was coming from. "Dusty Roads" saw the brothers writhing and choking in the water. The sandwich fell in the dust, and, without as much as throwing off his ragged coat, the tramp ran to the canal, jumped in, arid dragged, the boys ashore. Mr. Phefps gave "Weary Willie" ten dollars, a suit of clothes, a hat, and a pair of'shoes. "Where are you going?"'"asked Mrs. Phelps, pityingly, as the tramp toik, up his Journey. "Nowhere," said he, dreamily. What will appear very IntewwUhS to many people here Is the taken from a New York dally giving a simple prescription, a*v lated by a noted authority, who> that he has found a positive remedy to cure almost any case of backache or kidney or bladder derangement, In the following simple prescription! if taken before the stage of Bright's disease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake Well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. A well-known authority, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good prescription pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. He further stated that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheumatic afflictions with splendid results, he could see no reason ' why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and backache, as It has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering. Those who suffer can make no mistake in giving it a trial. NO N E E D FOR WORDS. " * • • • • Brief Pantomime Teld Everything to the Onlooker. Nickname* of American ,Clt|e*.

Minnie said not a word, bt/t resignedly commenced to test the.contents of the egg. Presently she appealed to her mother. "Mamma," said she; "must I really eat the beak, too?"

"After my granddaughter of about seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fornight later by a furious itching and painful eruption all over her bodyT especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms, of considerable size. She suffered a great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We tried the Cuticura Remedies and after twentyfour hours we noted considerable improvement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, In five consecutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time.

Jktxhblmhop Hsrty of Dtooss* of Mtv , nils toys Thsy Numtrtr 7,000,000, The religious situation la ih* Philippines, from the Catholic viewpoint, has bjeen pictured f o r A m e r i c a n reader* by Archbltihop Hsrty, nqw 1B tbi* country on % visit. The Moat Rev. J. J. Hsrty was a p p o i n t e d archbishop of Manila three years ago, and during h i s Incumbency S I R T " t e r e d 300,000 confirmations in his diocese. ThlB large number, it Is explained in The Catholic Mirror, 4to perhaps due to the fact that confirmations had not been administered in the country districts for many years prior to his arrival. By means of the ecclesiastical census instituted by the old Spanish missionaries it is ascertained that there are now 7,000,000 Christians in the archipelago. Some other facts concerning the Catholic church in the Philippines are given in The Mirror as follows: "The idea that the church in the Philippines is rich 1B pure fiction. The church had been rich in lands, and theBe lands were productive and gave results, but for ten years no revenue has bee'n received from any of them, and the result is poverty on the part of the church, r Under the old regime the Spanish government paid for the Bupport of the clergy. This, of course, has been withdrawn, and the clergy are dependent on the voluntary contributions of the people. The people had not been accustomed to support the clergy directly; they supported them indirectly through the taxation system. The direct contributions are now a hardship to them, the support which they give to the church 1B very meager, and the priests are in extreme poverty. "There are 400 priests in the dioceie of Maalla; 120 priests in the diocese of Jaro; 110 in the diocese of Vlfan; 250 in the diocese of Cebu, and 160 in the diocese of Nueva Caceres. In the United States we have 14,000- 000 Catholics, with 14 archbishops, 90 bishops and 15,000 priests. In the Philippine islands we have 7,000,000 Catholics, Just 50 per cent, of those in America, and we have 1 archbishop, 5 bishops and 1,040 priests. The striking contrast in these figures shows without comment how much remains to be done." . ^ 6 PROLIFIC GARDEN ENGLISHMAN'S FIRST AND SUC» CE88FUL ATTEMPTS IN MANITQ& A—80IL P80DUCES 9TRIKINQ RESULTS, The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press of a few days since contains account of the success that followed the efforts of William Knowles, an Englishman who located near Winnipeg, Manitoba. This is but one of many letters frivinf experiences of setUersr aad should be encouraging; to those who are looking about for a new hox&e in which they, may better their condltioas. The following is a copy of the article referred to: William Knowles. who cultivates some twelve acres of land just below Mlddlechurcfa ferry on east aide of the Red River has probably as tips a display of horticultural products as any in Manitoba. The whole of bis holding is in a high state of cultivation and literally crowded with splendid vegetable specimens, which have fortunately escaped damage by hail, although heavy storms have mere than once occurred within a few miles. The potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he expects to raise 1,500 bushels from his patch of 4½ acres. A half donen of tubers selected yesterday average more than a pound each. Adjoining the potatoes may be seen a marvelous collection of tomatoes. There are 600 plants, all growing; under an enormous weight of fruit. One single stock picked yesterday contained eighteen tomatoes and weighed four pounds. This extraordinary example of marvelous growth, together with some of the potatoes were sent to, the Free Press office. . The proprietor was, the first in town with several spepimens, including green corn. The season has been favorable i for onions, and one square patch of nearly an acre is looking remarkably healthy. In addition there are good crops of cabbages, cauliflower, turnips, parsnips, carrots, pump kins, marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas, lettuce, rhubarb, etc. , The^ floral department has not been neglected and a charming display of all the well known blooms were shown, including a specially choice lot of asters. Mr. Knowles, who gained most of his gardening experience in England, is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil for vegetable raisins, and is gratified with the result of his first attempt at extensive horticulture.

Dr. Herman Reinbeld, the expert Ueraum chemist, in a recent official report concerning Baking Powders, declares that a pure Alum basing powder is better and less Injurious than the so-called Cream of Tartar powders. He says that If the quantity of alum contained in a aufflcWnt quantity of baking powder for a L*tch of bread or cakes for an ordinary family, be concentrated to one mouthful of food, and taken into the stomach of any one person, no matter how delicate, it could do no harm.

The general plans for the establishment of a great Preabyterian rallying ,_place at Montreat, in North Carolina, have been published In the church papers. It is proposed to make Montreat far more than a mere summer resort. It is to be a rallying place for < Presbyterians of the south. Charles Carroll Brooks, the founder of "The Very Small Library," is planting libraries in various mountain com munities. He is a mountain boy and was brought up in the Blue Ridge, near Harper's Ferry, W. Va. Education is going on apace in Uganda, in Central Africa, and there is no separation between it and religious teaching. A C. M. 8. missionary writes: "The boys and girls* are being brought up in the fear and nurture of tho Lord, because they first learn that the beginning of wisdom is to know God and Jestis Christ whom he has Rent." "What makes you women so different from us?" a Mohammedan woman iu Persia asked of Misa McLean, of the Presbyterian mission. "Is It what you eat? Won't you make me a dress just like yours, so that I may look like you?" Miss McLean made her the dress, and she confesses that the woman was not a pretty picture when arrayed in it. "I haven't, got the look yet," she said, as she came back, disappointed. "There is something in your eyes that isn't In ours." What made the difference was the light of Christ shining within. Robert E. Lewis, general secretary nf the Y. M. C. A. in central China, writes t^hat the evangelistic meetings in Korea, during the recent visit of John R. Mott, were of remarkable power. A three days' campaign was held at Seoul. At one meeting over 200 men rose and «too<t as evidence of their desire to accept Jesus Christ ROSE MOORE fWomen Avoid Operations When a woman suffering from female trouble is told that an operation is necessary, it, of course, frightens her- The very thought of the hospital, the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. It is quite true that these troubles mar reach a stage where an operation is the only resource, but a great many women have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after an operation has been decided upon as the only cure. The strongest and most grateful statements possible to make come from women who by taking* Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs, have escaped serious operations, as evidenced by Miss Rose Moore's case, of *07 W. 26th St., N. Y. She writes:- Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-" Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured me of the very worst form of female trouble and I wish t o express to you my deepest gratitude. I suffered,in tensely for two years so that I was unable to attend to my duties atfd was a burden to nay family. I doctored and doctored wlih only temporary relief and constantly objecting to an operation which I was advised to undergo, I decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; it cured me of the terrible trouble and I am now In better health than I have been for many years." This and other such cases should encourage every woman to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Componnd1>eforeahe submits to an operation. Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation to Women Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass.

When It came time for the jury to retire to consider their verdict, they did so, bifc returned to the courtroom in a few moments.

Maggie loved Nina In spite of her color, yet she had a feeling that her friend deserved to be white, so she added to her prayer each night: "Please, God, make Xina white." As the weeks went by and Nina remained unchanged Mag^'o felt that her petition needed re-onforeement, BO she confided In Nina, -begging her to pray for the gTentJy desired bleaching. Rut Nina in surprise looked at Maggie with ttide open eyes and exclaimed: "Me? No, slr-ee. Po' do Lawd.

Those who make their own butter ate in luck this season a« it is not only hard to get but the price is soaring. Merchants are paying 24 cents per pound for good butter and some private families are paying more when they can get it and then have to speak several days ahead to get it at that. The time is ripe for some farmer to go into the business of making GOOD butter and plenty of it for the home market. A community is judged by its newspaper. If one picks up a country newspaper that is neatly printed and well filled with advs., the first impression is that the paper must be printed in a thriving and wideawake town. It it is all smeared up with ink, has no advs. and has a general.y run down appearance, the town is sized up as about the same kind of a proposition.—Ex. The DISPATCH IS cleanly printed and certainly tbe town is clean and well kept. How about the rest of the above item?

It was large enough so that Mr. Swarthout. cut it in halves and gave Mr. Gates one half and he div did with the editor and there was enough for at least two meals all around.

Pleasant conversation, among Intel Agent i ^ e , should be flowing ana natural, neither stilted n©r frivolous. It ihould be .Instructive, without pediatry, an* polished without being at fected. Those who really convert* reason without arguing, Joke without panning, skilfully unite wit and reasons, m&xhnff >i&d sallies, ingenious raillery and severe morality. Tb*y speak of everything In order t^M every one may have something to Bay; they do not investigate too closely, for fear of wearying; questions axe treat ed with rapidity; precision leads to elegance, each one giving his opinion, and supporting it with few words, says the New York Weekly, No refined person attacks wantonly another's opinions, no tactful person defeads his own obBtinacy. They discuss in order to enlighten themselves, and leave off discussing where dispute would begin; every one gains Information; every one recreates himself, and all go away contented; nay, the sage himself may carry away from what he has heard matter worthy of silent meditation. The coyote Is a much despised animal of the wild and woolly west, an<4 even Mark Twain's vivid description of its powers of speed is not sufficient to establish it in popular respect. But it seems Colorado farmers have come to the opinion that the coyote has qualities heretofore unsuspected and which if they do not add to his reputation for morality indicate a higher grade of intelligence than he has bee* credited with possessing. Colorado Is renowned in various ways; among other things for raising the finest melons. Now it appears the coyotes have not only developed a taste for the melons, but the sagacity to pick out the ripest, best and sweetest As a consequence, says the Troy Times, the melon farms are frequently raided by the beasts and the farmers are heavy losers. Ordinarily a coyote is held in such contempt that little or no attention is paid to him. But when ke becomes a destroyer of Colorado's choicest melons he is daring fate too much. It is now likely to be war to the death, and the coyote crop will be killed off in order to save the crop of melons. Figures collected by the Internatloni\ Society of State and Municipal Building Commissioners and Inspectors show that every week, on an average, fires in the United States burn up three theaters, three public halls, 1C churches, ten schools, two hospital;, two asylums, two "colleges," six apartment houses, three department stores, two jails, 26 hotels—the fires at seashore resorts this summer will raiBe the hotel average—140 "fiat" houses and 1,600 single dwellings. Such a record of waste is bad, but it is not surprising in a land of wooden buildings. Moreover, many of the buildings destroyed would have been torn down if they had not been burned. A countryman who suffered from a slight fire said he had lost two houses and three barns If you counted the dog house, the. chicken house and the cowshed. In such lists as the foregoing a house is a house be it ever so worthless, and a ""college" may call itself so even if it occupies but three rooms and does most of its business b y m a i l . •*>:. Last year German yachts which came here to race for the Roosevelt cup were defeated. This year our boats contesting for the Emperor William cup at Kied, Germany, were badly beaten. Yacht-designers usually succeed best in building for home waters and for weather conditions to which they are habituated. These international races, however, are not without their usefulness. Yachting, a clean, beautiful sport, is of great value in its influence on the important BCIence of ship-building. .The word tram Is derive* from a man's name—Outram—Thomas Outrara, ' Outram lived in Derbyshire, England, and in the beginning of the last century he invented a peculiar sort of track that diminished the friction between wheels and -oadbeds.

OID T H * M O T H W a L O V I F O R C I A PALM CONFESSION TO 8AVK HER SONT HUSBAND'S ABUSE SHOWN The Atlanta Tragedy Has *otne Startling F«atur««, Though the Confession la Retracted. Cruelty Cause* Murder. Mrs. Jessie Freemont Chad wick, of Atlanta, Mich., has confessed that she trailed her husband, Charles E. Chadwick, from the house and shot him dead with his own gun. The county officers had arrested young Chadwlck, suspecting him of the crime, because marks of his shoes were found in the vicinity, but Mrs. Chadwick declares she took his shoes from the stairs and wore them as she followed her husband. Mrs. Chadwick's confession was written In a letter to the Imprisoned son, who she declared was suffering to shield her. After writing the letter she attempted her own life, was prevented by her daughter, and when arrested and thrown into Jail denied her confession. Though the confession and the denial confuse the authorities, Mrs. Chadwlck has unquestionably shown truly in her letter the brutish conduct on the part of her husband, his cruelty and drunkenness, which was doubtless the cause of his destruction. These are some of the things Mrs. Chadwick, the drunkard's wife, says: You know, darling, I cannot bear you to suffer in my place all for love of me. 0 dear heart, I never would have done It if he hadn't been so mean and I know I was not accountable for what I did. The only wicked, cruel thing I ever did, me, the woman who could not even kill a chicken. He had killed me a thousand times. He flew in a rage and said he was ruined * * * and he talked so to me and I never answered only when I had to, but I grew so afraid, so afraid; then the wildness came in my head and when he got through every nerve was strung up. 1 went over the hills in a pair of shoes—the little feet that I am so proud of made me able to put my shoes in them, but, O God, I thought they were his and they were yours. My darling, O, my darling. God knows how lonely my heart was and the cruel, cruel life I led. And, darling, when I thin* of how many times I have put my body between him and you and have taken the blows intended for you on my head and kicks on my body, do not wonder that I am a nervous wreck, and brooding alone has finished his work. Had Another Wife. Sheriff Murphy claims to have learned that Chadwlck had another wife living beside the woman now held in prison, and that he waB not divorced from his first wife. If this is proven, it will likely turn the sentiment in the county to Mrs. Chadwick. During the past few days it has taken a trend decidely against her. Mrs. Chadwick showed to the authorities a letter purporting to have been from the first wife. She was In Michigan at the time and is still believed to be in the state. An attempt will be made to locate her before the estate is disposed of. A New Primary Law. The administrationiats who drew the new primary election bill for presentation at the, special session did not consult the attorney g e n e t ' s department That department has a draft of a bill which may or may not be offered to the law makers. The feature xtf the new administration bill which is attracting the most attention is the section relative to the election of delegates to national conventions. The bill provides for their election at a spring primary, doing away- entirely with conventions. It also provides for the nomination of United States senators and requires all political parties to make nominations under the provisions in case any one political party adopts it. The administration men claim* their bill provides a workable, comprehensive primary election system. It does not include any 40 per cent clause. A copy of .the bill will be introduced the first day of the session. Some of the state's lawyers are saying that it is full of legal blowholes. False Reports. Prompt notice has been taken by the office of the Isthmian canal commission of the charges made by the Spanish government that intended emigrants from that country for Panama are being deceived as to conditions there by American recruiting labor agents. The published charges hare been referred to the commission at Panama and an early response is expected. In Washington the officials declare the charges are a gross misrepresentation of facts, to which facts the widest publicity has been given.

The great crowd,, which now contained nearly all the members of the exchange, listened with bulging eyes and open mquths to the revelations of their fellow member. Bob Brownley paused and looked down into the faces of the breathless the p e ^ e v the financial world would bf revolutionized. Men of Wail street, dp not fool yourselves.

All the capital required to work my invention is nerve and desperation, or starve without desperation. It If well known- to you that there- are at all tunes' exchange •« members who. will commit any clime,>barring, perhaps, murder, to gain millions. Your members have from time U time shown nerve or desperation enough to embeszle, raise certificates, give bogus checks, counterfeit stocks and bonds, and this for gain of less than millions, and when detection was probable.

I repeat that there are at all times exchange memhere who will commit any crime, barring, perhaps, murder, to gain millieus. That you may see that my successors will surely come from your midst from time to time during the future existence of the exchange, I will enumerate the different classes of members who will follow In my footsteps: "First, the 'In God We Trust' Robert Brownley Glared Down Defiantly as a Sullen Growl Arose from the Gamblers, gamblers with a contempt that was superb. He went on: "Men of Wall street, it Is writ la the books of the ancients that every evil contains within itself a cure or a destroyer. I do not pretend that what I am revealing to you is to you a cure tor this hideous evil, but I do say that what I am giving you is~- a destroyer for it, and that while it will be to the world a cure, it may leave you in a more fiery hell than the one of which you now feel the flames.

You who are turning over in your minds the consideration that your great body can make new rules ta render my discovery inoperative, are dealing with a shadow. There is no rile or device that can prevent its working. There are 1,000 seats in the New York stock exchange. They are worth to-day $16,000 apiece or $96,- 600,000 a v a l . Their value Is due to the fact that t i l t exchange deals in between east nasi three million shares ft day. ware any attempt made to the operation of my Invention, tion* would because of such to five or ten thousand y, or to such transactions stock that will be sctuand actually paid for.

U the $tM*M0i BaOMosmV^ssV schemer who is of the 'System' type, but who Is outside the magic circle, A man of this class will reason: I know scores of men, who stand high on the Street' and in the social world, who have tens of millions that they have filched by 'System* tricks, if not by legal crimes. If I perform this trick of Brownley's, the trick of selling short'until a panic is produced, I shall make millions and none will be the wiser. For all I know, many of the multl-millionaires whom I have seen produce panics and who were applauded by 'the Street' and the press for their ability and daring, and whose standing, business and social, is now the highest, were only doing this same thing, and having been successful, they have never been detected or suspected. Hut even suppose I fall, which can only be through some extraordinary accident happening while I am engaged in selling, I shall have committed no crime, and, in fact, shall have done no one any great moral wrong, for if I fail to carry out my contract to deliver the stock I have sold in trying to produce a pans* the men to whom I have sold will be ao worse off for not receiving what they bought; in fact, they will stand just where they stood before I attempted to bring on a panic. "Second, If an exchange member for any reason should find himself over board and should realise that he must publicly became bankrupt and lose all, ha surely wouM ha a fool not to attempt to produce a panic, when its production would enable him to reaoup his losses and prevent his fariure, and whan If by acetdent ha should fail In his attempt . * sswduoe a panic tha ' wtttf^sshsty be hit w a S s i M I a*** tftksm The- third chum is that large one that always >tlU exist while then* If stook-grunbliff.y^ Class of honest, square-dealluaypJSMhyi - ganiw-Xalr exchange man whogwould take no unfair advantafp#of'theft- felloW-members until they: heeons awakened to the knowledge that they are about to be ruined by their fellow-members' trickery. "Next, let us consider further whether it Is possible for our exchange to prevent my device from being worked, now that It is known to all. Suppose the governing committee was informed in advance that the attempt to work the trick was to be made. If, at any session, after gong-strike, the governing committee, or any exchange authority, could for any reason compel a member to cease operating, even for the purpose of showing that his transactions were legitimate, the entire structure of stock-gambling would fall. Think it through: Suppose a man like Barry Conant or myself, or any active commission broker, begins the execution of a large order for a client, one, say, who has advance information of a receivership, a fire at a mine, the death of a president, a declaration of war, or any of the hundred and one items of information that must be acted upon Instantly, where a delay of a minute would ruin the broker, or his house, or its clients. If the governing committee could thus call the broker to account, the professional bear or the schemer, who desired to prevent him from selling, would have but to pass the word to the president of the exchange that the broker in question was about to work Brownley's discovcry and he could be taken from the crowd and before he returned his place could be taken by others and ho could be ruined.

A San Franciscan has discovered a new method of cutting short recitals that promise to become too long-winded. An acquaintance of his, who has a local reputation as a bore, was one day holding forth at some length when the Callfornlan interrupted him with: "By the way, did I ever tell you the story of the oyBter?" Oh receiving a negative reply, he continued: "It seems that whea oysters are taken from the sea they often open their shells so that the juice or liquid runs out. As this Is undesirable, the experienced oyster gatherer has a tuh; of water close at hand into which the' oyster is plunged ss soon as It begins to open its shell." "Well, and what then?" asked the other as the narrator paused. The San Franciscan smiled "Oh, after a while the oyster learns to keep its month shut," he remarked duietly. Desire Was As Ardent in the Days of the Romans as In Our Own Time —Fortune Awaits t h e Discoverer. Sir Edward Clarke, In Joining Use ranks of the inventors ol systems *f shorthand, has yielded U) 4 -temptation common to great men of all ages. The learned Egyptian, who.flxat gat tired of writing out a"complete hieroglyphic, and took to suggesting part of H only, was on the way not only to ao alphabet, but toward the goal reached by Sir Edward himself. Since that dim period we have all been doing our beet to find a royal road to expression, and have achieved the gramophone. Eve*.Herbert Spencer, whose father Invented,a "Lucid Shorthand," was bitten with Jhe deaire to conquer time, and he tells us that an examination of his father's system left him In no doubt whatever that it was the best of all. The fatality of all systems, however, is that what seems easy to the eye of filial piety may be terribly difficult to the cold gaze of the stranger. Of the innumerable systems of shorthand that were In vogue a century ago how many aurvive today? In spite of Pitman, fame and fortune still await the man or woman who can invent a system that will appeal to the reader as effectively as to the original writer. Pethaps if we were to rediscover the lost shorthand writing of the ancient Romans we might feel ourselves on the road toward a solution of the problem. • For the Romans were on affectionate terms with shorthand. Did not Suetonius, speaking of Caligula, express surprise that an emperor of so many promising parts should, nevertheless, be an ignoramus in shorthand; and did not Titus Vespasianus pride himself on his facility in the use of stenography both for business and amusement? So fond was he of the sport that he delighted to gather his amanuenses around him in ordei* that they should tilt against each other in the stenographic field. It may be that but for the rediscovery of the art in our own country toward the end of the sixteenth century (the curious Pepys would not have been moved to write his Diary, says the London Chronicle. The first impulse to the rediscovery and cultivation of shorthand in modern times may probably be traced to the desire, at the time of the Reformation, of preserving the discourses of the preachers of the new doctrines. "To write as fast as a man speaketh treatably," the Elizabethan writing master and stenographer, Peter Bales, declared to be "in effect very easy • * * the shortness whereof is attained by memory, and swiftness by practice, and sweetness by industry." But the early systems were very inefficient, and this ha,$ been considered by <?ri£ ics to be one of the causes of the corrupt readings of the text of some of Shakespeare's plays. Contemporary opinion on the subject may be gathered from the "Pleasant Dialogues and Drammas" of Thomas Heywood (1637), who says that his play of "Queen Elisabeth" "Did throne the seats, the boxes and the atag-e So much ao that some by stenography drew A plot, put it in print, scarce one word true." Sleep and Old Age. There is-no question that the quantity of sleep required steadily diminishes from Infancy to old age. This is a rather interesting exception to the general rule that, as in so many matters, old age returns to the needs of infancy. As regards sleep, old age is more remote in its needs from infancy than in any other period ot life. If elderly people obtain good sleep during the .first few hours, and if they have not lest"that delight ta reading which we all had in youth, but which so*" many of us curiously lese, their case Is not to be grieved over. The special value of she earliest hours of sleep, by the way, has been proved by psychological es^sstsnent. The popular phsase 'imam (steep" is well warranted.

An instrument has recently been invented for recording the depth of water, and which makes a pen record something on the principle ot the machine which records the rough places in a railroad track. A slab of metal attached to a rope is dragged over the bottom by a boat moving slowly. The other end of the rope extends over pulleys to the charting room, where a pen records the upe and downs, or peaks and valleys of the bottom, making a topographical map. Experts know how to translate these tracings into feet o*r fathoms. The results are much more ascurate and vastly quicker than the old method of sounding with a hand line. The Whole Thing.

"I witf read tt, memma," she said, speaklngta. a commanding although well-bred, voice. Mrs. Dalley hanfWd-**!* the letter. To be sure, it was addressed to herself, but Beatrice attended to the affairs of the entire household. Beatrice was 23, ta\\ and, erect, she resembled her mother., only her eyes and hair were darker, and Bhe had the air of one born to command. Bernlce, three years Beatrice'*, Junior, was the beauty of the family. She was smajl and dark, with sparkling face, and long-lashed, Spanish eyes. Gladys was 18, and looked like her mother. She was musical and ambitious, their limited means alone preventing the thorough cultivation of her gift. The letter was from Mrs. Dailey's sister and only near relative, Mrs. Katherine Dillon, who had been for years abroad with an invalid husband. Mr. Dillon had died several months before, and the return of the sister and aunt had been eagerly looked forward to by the Dalleys. "Why don't you read it- aloud?" Bernice asked petulantly, as Beatrice turned another leaf of the letter. "Oh, I always knew life held something for me besides existence here in Hamlin," the elder sister exclaimed, Twoom eaena wthtaate e FREE sbeonxd ohf ePra xabtlsnoet atwetityh book. oC —— —. ytioonars naamnde angedn audinder etsosr 0tia0v aaH paobsti.a l eSseide.d iamndpr doov ea nh ewre e*seraiisti* rt otrr eeI ta. lWaraee wtriialll eleai a i e s n as e a t - at- PAXTINE fcaacttairornhs ,a nsdo cIkn lrMaei mnaatslaola eBaetaatrsr •h f,c ypt aemMVt •oslonoeQ il,l Mbyt dlsroereet loecyaelstr, esaotrine eBtlte wel>t saamw>l •oerdmtnpaoryw earn odve rl itrheets e vountoo la Tbouaands of WOOMO "I Tell You I Have Decided He Adopt Your Mother." her face aglow with excitement.

I long: to look again in your face, Marrraret, for it la 12 years since we met. Now that I am alone in the world, my heart turns to you and your dear daughters. * I almost envy you, •iater. I would gladly give my wealth for your girls. I am going to borrow one of your treasures for the winter at least. Which one we will decide after I have had an opportunity of becoming acquainted with t£em. I shall spend the winter either In Florida or southern California, and am sure I can make the season a delightful one for a girl. Oood-bye, dearest sister. I shall have much to tell you when we meet. Love to all. " Tour affectionate alster. '" 'KATHBRINE DILLION/ " ''Of course she'll take me," Bernice cried, a crimson flush staining her olive cheek. "Just think of dozens of new dresses and a winter in a fashionable southern resort!" Gladys sat bolt upright and opened her pale-blue eyes to their greatest extent. "I don't see why you should be so sure. Aunt Katherine loves music, and when she knows how eager I am to study under the better masters—n "Don't dispute, girls; it's vulgar," Beatrice said. "Mamma, a cup of fresh tea, please. You all seem to forget that I am the eldest and strongly resemble Aunt Katherine." Mrs. Dalley sighed as she hurried out to the kitchen after hot water for Beatrice's tea. No one remembered her own deep Joy at the coming of Katherine. "But I am selfish to think about myself," she concluded when dinner was over and she began clearing the table. "Katherine will be aa proud of my daughters as I am. No, girls. I don't need any help. I can do the dishes." The next few days were busy ones. Aa the exact date of Mrs. Dillon's arrival was uncertain, the Daileyi resolved to be ready at tbe earliest possible time when **• efedd he looeed for. She arrived at • * » « * * » morning, . » * ^^j^g^Hgn Margaret Dillon was a woman of. 40. Her fori* was slender but gracefully poised. Her face was much like, that of Bettjtri$e,.but the yeaxa had brought to it lines of thought as well as t* her blue-gray eyes a serene light. "Aunt Katherlae." both girls exclaimed, hurrying forward. Mrs. Dillon greeted her nieces affectionately. Gladys heard the hum of voices and came running down, her bow was still In her hand. When the aunt could make herself heard, she said softly: "You forget, my dears, that I want your mother^* Mrs. Dalley was busy In the kitchen. Through the open door, Katherine caught a glimpse of her. Springing forward, she caught her in a close embrace. There was a moment's silence. Then Mrs. Dillon held her sister at arm's length and carefully studied her face. Mrs. Dalley was worn and wan, she wore a faded but clean print press; her sleeves were rolled up above her elbows, and specks of flour clung to her toll hardened hands. Katharine Dillon's keen eyes noted the warm kitchen. Then she glanced at the'three girls. "What have you been doing with your mother, girlies? It Is not only that she Is warm*and tired, but what has brought this old look? You are only 40, Margaret, and should be a comparatively young woman." Tlie days went by. Mrs. Dillon's comfort and pleasure was so tfeftly ministered tp that she could not be grateful enough to the bright-faced girls whom she was learning to love. The only drawback to her enjoyment was her disappointment regarding her sister. -jWtat was wrong? Katherine did hot doubt her sister's love. But the hours of companionship she had looked forward to were few and unsatisfactory. Mrs. Dalley spent the greatest part of her time in the kltohen. When not there, she was silenfi'^er daughters evidently, not expecting her to take part in the conversation. She seldom went into society, read little, and was reaHy "behind the timfifi/' Mrs. Dillon gave the matter* rMch thought. She saw that the girls were much surprised when Bhe expected their mother to take her rightful place both at home and in the society of the little place. It was not easy to tell where the fault lay. A month passed. September gave place to October and the air grew crisp and invigorating. "A week more," Mrs. Dillon announced one morning at the breakfast table, "a week more of pleasure. Then we must decide which ojt, you is to go with me, and I must hie'me away to Chicago to provide a suitable outfit for myself and my companion." It was the first time she had directly mentioned the matter. The color deepened in each girl's cheeks, but they made no reply. They had all grown very fond of their aunt, and a winter with her had many attractions. The week that Mrs. Dillon had mentioned went by. They were against the breakfast table when the southern trip was referred to. "I shall start on Thursday," Katherine said. "Now as to who is to go with me." She paused and reflectively stirred her coffee. "Girls, I hope you will all be satisfied when I tell you : I have decided to adopt your mother." No one spoke. The canary trilled gayly, a passing wagon rattled airing the street, and Mrs. D^fcv finished her graham gem with apparent relish. Then she went on: '"h. mean it, girls. I- don't know whose fault It is, but that* ts something wrong in your borne. Instead ef being your friend and confidante, instead of being petted and care for, instead of enjoying the Indian summer of her life, your mother is a kitchen drudge. More than this—she It. fast approaching a oroaen-down and jove> leas old age. She may be aa much to blame as any one. I am going to make one effort to bring sunshine into her life. I shall take her to Chicago and purchase her a supply of suitable and. dainty clothing. Then I shall carry her to the south1 for the winter. She shall rest, read, enjoy-" pretty things and bright people, and be loved and petted. In the spring she shall come back to you—U you deserve her." •, - • ?. "Oh, Katherine, a W t , * cried' t h e mother. "I couldn't l e a f * a s * tfrla alone, and besides I wouidsxaj should have the pieasitaa>» • "Aunt Hester Main, fc^ er. Is to come and spend the here," was Katherine's .cool reply. About your going, let the girls speak for themselves." - ' Another pause. Then t h e latent nobleness of Margaret Dailey's daughters asserted itself. Beatrice arose and went round to her aunt. "We want her to go. Thank you, Aunt Katherine. Yen have taught us a lesson, and' w e needed it." Bernice added: "We will try to deserve her when she comes back." Gladys caught her mother In her arms. "Precious little mamma! We do love you, even If w e have been so careless." Mrs.' DHIon's programme was carried out. The. lesson was, as Beatrice had said, a needed one; hut, like many such, the learning of it was not pleasant. A quiet winter at home, sharing the duties that had been too long relegated to the mother, contrasted sharply with the pleasures each had confidently expected for herself. They missed and longed for the gentle presence they had %o little prized. The mother and- aunt, happy In each other, yet anxious for the real welfare of the girls at home, knew that a womanly care for the happiness of others was being developed in the nature of Margaret Dailey's daughters.

References to the Swiss navy are usually jocular; but it is none the less a fact that ships of war once floated and even fought On the waters of the Lake of Geneva. The great fleet was that of the duke of Savoy, who at the beginning of the fourteenth century maintained a number of war galleys armed with rams and protected by turrets and propelled by 't( crew of Oarsmen varying In number from 40 to 72. These vessels hesieged Versoix antf even blockaded Geneva. Bui Genevk also had & fleet which helped in the capture of Chilon in 1536; and when the Bernese annexed the Canton of Vaud they too had their flotilla. Their largest v e s s e l was the Great Bear, with «4 oarsmen, eight guns, and 150 fighting men. • • •' • ' % , ' • The Appreciative Word.

After many false reports, It is nuw pretty generally admitted that a dia^ mond miue ha* been discovered In tbe> United States. DiamundB have been found in t h e past, It is true, in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin, to bay nothing of "r*ugh diamonds" In every community; but upon investigation it has turned out that the precious stones have been carried from the far north by a alowmoving glacier and left at the point where the ice melted. A 24-carat diamond of this description was found In Virginia In 1855. The- new mine In Pike county, Arkansas, discovered about a year ago, Is in a'body of igneous rock similar to the rock of the KImberley mines in South Africa. This volcanic rock fills a dike between two walls of harder rock. It is exposed over an area of a hundred acres. Since the* first stone was picked up in the summer of last year more than a hundred and thirty diamonds have been found. The largest weighs six and one-half carats. How the diamonds got into Pike county is unknown. Geologists say that there are two possible explanations. One is that the carbon, already crystallized, was forced up from t h e interior of the earth along with the molten rock, and was incased in it when t h e rock cooled. T h e other explanation is that the carbon, subjected to great heat and tremendous pressure, has crystallized in t h e place where the diamonds are now found. In other parts of the world there are placer diamond deposits which a r e explained as due to the same causes a s placer gold mineB. The richest diamond mines now known a r e in South Africa. They produce 98 per cent, of the stones sold every year. The diamond fields that were noted until t h e African mines were opened in 1867 are in Borneo, in India and in Brazil. What the Arkansas field will produce when properly worked no one can tell, says Youth's Companion, but its discovery has added another to the varied resources of this wonderful country. LATEST NEWS OF MtCHlGAN W K t C K OF THE, CYPRUS ANO LOSS OF T W E N T Y - T W O LIVES LATEST DISASTER. 5S? » * - .. '.. • 1" MICHIGAN BRIEFS. A Crying Abuse. In regard to graft, it is a popular saying among those who have not a keen sense of official honor, that it has always existed. This is put forth as an excuse, but does not lessen the enormity a tittle, and should fail to entitle those who have been engaged in it to any sympathy or freedom Irom condemnation. Sin has existed since the beginning of mankind, but we do not condone it on that account. We punish when possible its committers. The public conscience has been hardened by a contemplation of the number of people in high places who have boldly indulged in graft wi'.h 1hat fea^essness of consequences which distinguished the late Bill Tweed of brazen memory. It is time, declares t h e Boston Budget, that this abuse, to call it. by no worse name, should be regarded loss lightly. When it is we shall have more honesty in the administration of public offices, and more strict observance of both divine and human law. The expert alienists are rapidly adding to the list, of mental ailments and increasing the plain citizen's wonder. D u r i n g a certain late murder trial we heard much about, brain storms, mental explosions and the like, and the learned gentlemen who dealt in these terms would have ua believe t h a t such things were reconcilable with a rational state of mind. And here we have an expert testifying in a case involving belief in spiritualism that, a person might, have a "sane delusion." To many who are not alienists "sane delusion" is a term about as consistent as "a sick weil man." It seems that our state department at, Washington has not. only provided for examinations of aspirants for consular appointments, in order to ascertain their fitness for the service, but it is likewise furnishing competent talent for teaching what, may brrequisite to pass the examinations. Thus, Secretary Root, has lately granted permission to the chief of the bureau of trade relations of the stata department to accept a position on the faculty of one of the colleges, where he will be a regular lecturer on the consular service. This will help all round. It is a subject that calli / ' v tper.lal talent WENT DOWN LIKE A SHOT Story of the Sols Survivor Show* that Carcleesnosa with Hatches Caused the Sinking of the Steamer. Survivor's Story Confirmed. There now aeerns little doubt that the moat terrible marine disaster of the present season, the sinking of the Lackawanna freighter Cyprus Friday night near Deer Park, on Lake Superior, was due directly to the failure of the captain and the crew of the wrecked vessel to cover the hatches with the canvas tarpaulin designed for that purpose. The story of the sole survivor, Second Mate C. J. Pitt, and of Capt. Harbottle, of the Pittsburg Steamship company, steamer George Stephenson, the last vessel to see the Cyprus before she sunk, confirms this belief. It was late Saturday afternoon before Mate Pitt had recovered irom exhaustion sulliciently to give a coherent account of the wreck. He says the Cyprus was making fairly good weather in the seas, when suddenly the cargo shifted, giving the craft a heavy list. Water began pouring into the hatches and a panic ensued, many of the crew putting on life preservers. Capt. Huyck, however, felt confident he could reach shelter behind Whitefish point, and the boats were not lowered. Both engine and pumps were working, and the crew felt sure the vessel would not sink without warning. But the big freighter rolled over on her side and almost instantly plunged to the bottom. When the vessel rolled over the first and second mate, a watchman and a wheelsman were close to a life raft, which they cut loose and cast off just In time to escape the whirlpool which was caused by the Cyprus, as she plunged beneath the surface. The boat sunk about 7 o'clock, and until 2 a. m. the four men clung to this frail support, while the waves drove them ashore. Five times in the angry surf on the rocky shore the raft was upset and carried "off by the undertow. After the last battle with the surf the raft had but one occupant. The others, benumbed and exhausted, having given up the fight. The sixth time the raft was thrown high on the be^ch and Pitt crawled to safety, where he was later found by the life-saving patrolman. The Btory of the captain of steamer Stephenson throws additional light upon the mystery surrounding the sinking of the huge freighter in an ordinary gale of wind not sufficient to drive any but smaller lake craft to shelter. The captain of the Stephenson expressed the conviction that the vessel had foundered because her pumps were unable to handle the flood of water pouring into the doomed ship through her hatches. The Cyprus passed tho Stephenson about 1 p. m. Friday, so closely that Capt. Harbottle, of the latter ship, could easily see the deck of the Lackawanna freighter. He ways the canvas coverings for the hatches were not in )ilace and that the seas which were coming in on her quarter kept the decks of the Cyprus continually awash. The hitter's pumps were working and the water discharged was highly discolored by iron ore, indicating that the water had entered the hold nf the ship. Inasmuch as the Cyprus was a brand new vessel, there seems little likelihood that her plates had been strained in any manner, or that, a leak had developed below the water line. The Cyprus was on her second trip from the head of the lakes, having been built, at the Lorain yard of the American Shipbuilding Co., and launched August. 17. A Pathetic Story. A pathetic story was revealed at. the county house in Cassopolls following the death of Mrs. Lydia Mack, KB, an inmate of that institution. Her husband, John Mack, also an octogenarian, asked to see the undertaker who had been called, and informed him that in an old shop In the city of Dowagiac, hidden away in a tin can in a place which he gave directions to find, would be found money to pay the dead wife's funeral expenses. A search revealed a can containing $29, which had been saved from the old man's meager earnings during his later years and had been stored away by him when he worked In that. shop. Not. even the dire poverty which forced them to the county house a few weeks ago tempted him to use it for any other purpose. Logs on the Lakes. The great lakes up to and Including October 7 from the opening of navigation this year claimed a toll of 100 lives from the ranks of those who earn their living on and by the boats. At the same time the owners have been hit for a total loss of $1,500,000 by the elements, "mistakes" of navigators and other accidents. The chief Item in the monetary losses is that caused hy fire, the steamers Naomi and City of Cleveland going far towards bringing up the grand total for destruction through this cause to $1,000,306.

In leaving you, the exchange, and stock-gambling forever, as I shall when I leave this platform, I will say from the depth of a heart that has been, broken, from the profoundly of a soul that has been withered by the 'System's' poison, with a foil sense of my responsibility to my fellow-man and to my God, that I ad- •tae every one of you to dp what I have done and to do It. quickly, before tb« doing of it by others shall have aftftde it impossible, before the doing of it by others shall have blown up the whole stock-gambling structure.

"The day on which the stock-gambling structure falls is. the day for which all honest men and women •hould pray." " R o b Brownley paused and let his eyes sweep his duinfounded audience. There was not a iu'urmur. The crowd was speechless. Again his eyes swept, the room. Then he slowly raised his r(ght hand with fist clenched, as though about to deal a blow. "Men of WalJ street"—his voice was now deep and solemn—fto show that Robert Brownley knew 'what was fitting for the last d^y of his career^ JUe ha3 revealed to you the trick—and more. , "Many of you are desperate.

Here is your chance to prevent your ruin, your chance to retrieve your fortune, your chance to secure revenge upon me, the. one who has robbed you." He paused only long enough for his astounding advice to connect with his listeners' now keenly sensitive nerve centers; then deep and clear rang out, "Barry Conant." The wiry form of Bob's old antagonist leaped to the rostrum. "I authorize you to buy any part of 10,000,000 shares of the leading stocks at any price up to 50 points above the present market. There is my checkbook signed in blank, and I authorize you to use it up to a billion dollars, and I agree to have in bank to-morrow sufficient funds to meet any checks you draw. You have failed to-day for seven millions, and, therefore, cannot trade, but I herewith announce that I will pay all the indebtedness of Barry Conant and his house. Therefore he is now in good Btanding." Bob had kept his eye on the great clock; as the last word passed his lips, the president's gavel descended. With a mighty rush the gamblers leaped for the different poles. Barry Conant with lightning rapidity gave his orders to 20 of his assistants, who, When Bob Brownley called for Conant, had gathered around their chief. In less than a minute the dollar-battle of the age was on, a battle such as no man had .ever seen before.

The (nstant after the gong sounded Bob Brownley was alone on the floor at the foot of the president's desk- His form was swaying like a reed on the edge of the cyclone's path. 1 jumped to. bis sidq. His brother, who had during Bob's harangue been vain ly endeavoring to beat his way through the crowd, was there first. "For God's sake, Bob, hear me. Word came from your house half an hour ago of the miracle:, Beulab has awakened to her past. Her mind is clear; the nurses are frantic for you to come to her." He got no fuxther. With a mad bel low and a bound, like a tortured bull that sees the arena walla go down, Bob rushed out through the nearest door which, I thanked God. was a side one f - h o o i to the ffaftee? Thanks OooV that usually crowded thoroughfare wan free from vehicles as far up as I coo 16 •««, on, beytmd the Aator house., Whax could it mean? Was that divinity which 'tis said protects the drunkarc. and the idiot about to aid the, mat rush of this love-frenzied creature tthis long-loat but newly returned dearone? I heard the frantic clang o~ gongs, and as we shot by the Worlu building, I saw ahead of us two plunging automobiles tilled with men. 'Twa* from them the gong clamor sounded. Aa we, drew nearer I saw that these ware the cam of the fire chiefs answering a call. I thanked God again and again us I yelled into Bob's ear, "For Beulah's sake, Bob, don't pass; if you do, we'll run Into a blockade. If we keep In the rear they'll elear our way. and we may get to her alive." I do not know whether he heard, but be held the machine in the rear of the other cam and did not try to pass. Away we went on our mad rush through crowded Broadway. At Union Square we lost our way-clearer*. As our automobile jumped across Four teenth street into Fourth avenue, Bob must have opened her up to the last notch, for she seemed to leap through the air. We sent two wagons crashing across the sidewalks into the buildings. Cries of rage arose above the din of the machine, and seemed to follow in our wake. Bob was dead to all we passed. His entire belug seemed set on what waa ahead. I knew he was an expert in the handling of the automobile, for since his misfortune, automobiling with Beulab. Sands had been his favorite pastime, but who Beulah Sands Was Dead. leading to the street where the crowd was thinnest. We cast a wild look around. His eyes lighted on an empty automobile whoBe chauffeur had deserted to the crowd. It was the work oi a second to crank it; of another to jump into the front seat. Quick as had been his movement, I was behind him in the rear seat. With a bound the great machine leaped through the crowd. "In the name of Christ, Bob, he careful/' I yelled, as he hurled the iron monster through the throng, scattering it to the right and left as the mower scatters the sheaves in the wheat fields. Some were crushed beneath its wheels. Bob Brownley heard not their screams, heard not the curses of those who escaped. He was on his feet, his body crouched low over the steering wheel, which he grasped in his vice-like hands. His hatless head was thrust far out, as though it strove to get to Beulah Sands ahead of his body. His teeth were set, and as I had jumped Into the machine I bad noted that his eyes were those of a maniac, who saw sanity just a$ead if he could but get to it in time. Hia ears were deaf not only to the howl of the tetrifled throng and the-'curses of the teamsters who frantically pulled their horses to the curb, but to my warnings as well. He swung the machine around the corner at New street and into Wall as though it had been the broadest boulevard in the park: He took Wall street at a hound I was sure would land us through the fence into Trinity's churchyard. But no. Again he turned the corner, throwing the Juggernaut on its outside wheels from Wall street into Broadway as the crowds on the sidewalk held their breath in horror. I, toet was on my feet, but crouching could expect to earry that plunging, swaying car to Forty-second street! Bob seemed to be performing the wondrous task. We shot from curb to curb and around and in front of vehicles and foot, passengers as though the driver's eyes and hands were inspired. Across the square at last and on up Fourth avenue to Twenty-sixth street. Then a dizzying whirl into Madison. Was he going to keep to it until ho. got to Forty-second street and try to make Fifth avenue along that congested block with its crush of Grand Central passengers and lines upon lines of hacks and teams? No. His head must be clear. Again he threw the great machine around the corner and into Fortieth street. For a part of the block our wheels rode the sidewalk and I awaited the crash. It did not come. Surely the new world Bob was speeding to must be a kind one, else why should Hag Fate, who had been at the steering wneel of his life-car during the last five years, carry him .safely through what tooked a dozen sure deaths? Without slacking speed a jot we swung around the corner of Fortieth into Fifth avenue. The road was clear to Forty-second; there a dense jam of cars, teams and carriages blocked the crossing. Bob must have seen the solid wall for I heard his k.w muttered curse. Nothing else to indicate that we were hlocked with his goal in sight. He never touched the speed controller, but took the two blocks as though shot from a catapult. The two? No, one, and three-quarters of the next, for when within a score of yards of the black wall he jammed down the brakes, and the iron mass grown! and shook as though it would rend itself to atoms, but it stopped with Us dasher and front wheels wedCCafiThiCWaeA tfcer and a dray.

For five hug year* I had been trying to get it out of my ears, but now more guttural, more agunUed than before, it broke upon ray tortured senses. 1 did not need to seek its direction. With a bound I was at the threshold of Beulah Sauds-Brownley's office. In that brief time the groans had stilled. For one instant I closed my eyes, for the very atmosphere of that hall moaned and groaueci death. I opened them. Yes, I knew it. There at the desk waa the beautiful gray-clad figure of five years ago. There the two arms resting on the deak. There the two beautiful hands holding the open paper, but the eyes, those marvellous gray-blue doors to an immortal soul—they were closed forever. The exquisitely beautiful face was cold and white and peaceful. Beulah Sands was dead. The hellhounds of the "System" had overtaken its maimed and hunted victim; it had added her beautiful heart to the bags and barrels and hogsheads stored away in its big "buslness-is-business" safedeposit vaults. My eyes in sick pity sought the form of my old schoolmate, my college chum, my partner, my friend, the man I loved. He was on his knees. His agonized face was turned to his wife. His clasped hands had been raised in an awful, heartcrushing prayer as his Maker touched the bell. Bob Brownley's great brown eyes were closed, his clasped hands had dropped against his wife's head, and in dropping had unloosed the glorious golden-brown waves until in fond abandon they had coiled around his arms and brow as though she for whom he had sacrificed all was shielding his beloved head from the chills and dark mists of the black river that laps the brink of the eternal rest. The "System" had skewered Robert Brownley's heart, too. 1 staggered to his side. As I touched his now fast-icing brow my eyes fell upon the great black headlines spread across the top of the paper that Beulah Sands had been reading when the all-kind God had cut her bonds.- FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH.

Uncle Constantino, from Fishkill Landing, was in town recently, for the first time in 30 years, according to the New York Times. His relatives were industrious in showing him the sights, but it was extremely difficult to get him to express surprise at anything. He even made disparaging comments, now and then, upon what he saw, and drew comparisons favorable to his own town. One afternoon they attended a crowded performance at the circus. "Uncle Constantine," asked his niece, "did you ever see such a number of people gathered together before?" "Well," said the old man slowly, as his eye ran critically over the thousands that filled the garden, "I don't know as I ever did in a buildin', but I have to a bush-meetin'!" 3 to 3 3 to 1 5 to 1 6 to 1 2 to 0 Foxy Leopold.

The Tageblatt publishes a dispatch from Stuttgart saying that the airship and landing stage belonging to Count Zepplin. on the Lake of Constance, has been bought by the imperial government for 1500,000. Landing stations for balloons are to be established at Strasburg and Kiel, and the government has given Count Zeppelin a commission to build another airship of 285-horse power to carry 18 passengers. i Jack Simpkin* Dead. A body, believed to be that of Jack Simpkins, the missing member of the executive committee of the Western Federation of Miners, has been found near Pierce City, Idaho, badly decomposed. The only means of identifying the corpse wa3 a gun bearing a silver nameplate and Simpkins' name. Miners who knew Simpkins well positively identified the gun as one owned by Simpkins. It is thought that the man died in a snowstorm last winter. Jewish Outrages. Jewish outrages continue without adequate police intervention in Odessa. Monday bands of Black Hundreds surrounded the Hebrew cemetery where a funeral service was going on. First they stoned and then they fired a volley of revolver shots at the mourning Jews, many of whom were wounded The Jews fled in panic. THE MARKETS. Easily Explained. Her name was Marjorie and she was the sweetest child in the world, with all a child's wonderful thirst for the most out-of-the-way information. She had asked her mother to explain to her what wireless telegraphy was. Marjorie had often heard her father talking of wireless telegraphy, and she wanted to know all about it. So her mother tried to make it clear and explained how there were two long sticks standing high up in the air a very long way from each other, and how a message was sent from the one stick and— "Oh. I know," broke in Marjorie, "tlien God hears and tells the other people."

"My dear old mother, who is now eighty three years old, thrives on Electric Bitters," writes W. H. Bruoboii, of Dublin, (?u. "She has taken thera lor about two* years and enjoys an excellent uppe'ite, feel a strong and sleeps woll." That's the way Electric Bitters affect th5 axed, and the same happy results follow in all casea of female weakness- and genera! debitity. WeaK, puny children too, are greatly strengthened by them.

T e x a s has solved in a strenuous way the problem of killing monopolies and trusts. Under the new law the selling of goods manufactured by a Jrust is deemed a felony, and upon conviction the offender is subject to imprisonment for two to ten years in the penitentiary. Although the demand for hardwood lumber its gmtter than ever before, the aunual cut to day is a billion feet less than it was beven ^ears ago. In this time the wholsale price of the diderent classes of hardwood lumber advanced from 26 to 65 per cent. The cut of oak, which in 1899 was more than balf the total cut of hardwoods, has fallen off 136 per cent. Yell'iw popittr,which was loru erly second wi point of output, has fallen off 38 p^r cent, and elm baa fallen off one half The cut of softwoods is over four limes that of hardwoods, yet it is doubtful if a shortage in the former would cause dismay in so many industries. The cooperate, furn ture, and vehicle industries depend upon haidwood timber, and the railroads, telephone and telegraph companies, agricultural implement manufactures, and builders use it extensively. This leads to the question, Where is the future supply of hardwoods to be found? The cut in Ohio and Indiana which, beven years ago. led all other States,has fallen off one-half. Illinois Iowa, Kentuckey Michigan, Minnesota Missouri, New Jersy, Tenessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin have also declined in hardwood production. The chief centers of production now lie in the Lake States, the lower Mississippi Valley, and the Appalachian Mountians. Yet in the Lake States the presence of hardwoods is an al most certain indication of licb agricultural land. In Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi the production of hardwoods is clearly at its extreme height, and in Missouri and Texas it has already begun to decline. The answer to the question, therefore, would seem to lie in the Appalachian Mountains. They contain the largest body of hardwood timber left in the United States. On them grow the greatest variety of t'-ee species any where to Le found. Protected from fire and reckless cutting, they produce the best kinds of timber, since their soil and climate combine to make heavy stands and rapid growth. Yet much of the Appalachian forest has been so damaged in the past that it will be years before it will again reach a high state of productiveness. Twenty billion feet of hardwoods would be a conservative estimate of the annual productive capacity of the 75,000,000 a n d w u o had not released the-right of iray and all damages on aooount thereof to apeeres of forest lands in the A ppalacb- p«wr at the Una apd placa designated and to be heard with respect to such applicatioa ians il they were rigbt'y managed, if they so deaUreand to enow eanae if any there be way aaid apullcatijo should not be Until tbey are we can expect a short- granted *»d where** there ia now on fttfwith thie court the detsripiiou and survey of ouch proposed drain from Which said description and surrey it appears that the land* to be traversed by Huoh drain and the oommouoement, general course and teraunns of , Huch drain are at) follows io-wit: age in hardwood timber.

There is a story about the Duke of Wellington that illustrates the fantastic idea of honor held by many Spaniards, contrasted with the practical colhmou sense of Englishmen. When the duke was co-operating with the Spanish army In theTpeninsula against Napoleon he was desirous on one occasion during a general engagement that the general commanding the Spanish contingent should execute a certain movement on the field. He communicated the wish to the Spaniard personally and was somewhat taken aback to be told that |he honor of the king of Spain and uft army would compel him to refuse the request unless WeHington. as a foreiai officer graciously permitted to exwt j and light on Spanish soil, s t o l i d pre I sent the petition on his knee*L The old \ duke often u;*ed to tell the story after j ward, and he would say, "Now, I was ( extremely anxioiu^ to have the^,, move- j ment !-exec»tptt, and i dirhi'fy'care a | 'twopeady dniim* ubor.t ^ e u i i g on my j knees, so down 1 jumped!" j Theuse n 3UO w. 7a IO 45| i a 14 16 18 ao 32 2 4 «6 a? .(8 3» JO 41 3» 3¾ 3» 34 3*Sl 38 40 4 ' 4 4 I46 1*8 I50 jSa !S4 !s6 75 * 3 10 8a 63 a7 75 4» 3 77 1 8a 5 81 I t a 6 4 1 7 . 8 5 . » 0 . 4 0 • 0 3 5 XW. i u ao.85 5 8 0 5 . » 5 6 « 3 5 V « 5 - ^ 5 jOraoe trgm commencement to st. »0 1 oft. set mila Tarn to • AIM rainutw_of Brawa JP01*- .Ctmxaix^pd at aaala «. it* ^ f l M IJvvJ4 , ^ , * * V^fil^Tawd of Thos. 0.

TESTING ARMY OFFICERS The Miners to Lose the Services of John Mitchell—News From Various Sources and Sections. Issue Sharply Drawn. The nineteenth annual convention <of the National Association of Railway Commissioners Indicated that while t h e disposition to run counter to federal control of railways is not so strong as at the opening of the convention, the committee on "rates and rate making" take* a sharp issue w ^ J J a e national s j o w n m e p t . ^t *toid# 3hat*federal Control' is Impwwfble wrthb*s**rf amendment to the constitution* The committee maintains tHat the demand of the people i s that the control of rates be lodged as near at home as possible. The committee also urged uniformity of action between t h e federal and state railway authorities and that, in some instances at least, the state railway commissioners act as agents for the Interstate commerce commission. The report of the committee on uniform classification was adopted after a strong debate. It asks that the Interstate commerce commission be given the power to classify interstate r a t e s uniformly. Stood KSftseV*rt¥s Test. If a 16-mile Jog along good roads is an example of the hardships of war, the line officers of the department of the lakes are ready to go into ac tion at an hour's notice. Such $s the substance of a report based upon a test ride made by Brig.-Gen. W. H. Carter and 31 regimental officers yesterday. This phase of the Rooseveltian plan of keeping the blood circulating in the different branches of the government •was carried out with Fort Sheridan as headquarters, and the actual time taken was about two hours and a half —an, average of ten miuutes to the mile. -JPhysicial examinations were given the riders before and after the trial of horsemanship. These were conducted by Col. Philip F. Harvey, assistant aurgeoiH?e»e*af©f the army, and Majs Edward I,. Munson, post surgeon at Fort Sheridan. In advance they pronounced all of the officers fit to ride, and their second examination showed but slight signs of any disabilities. John Mitchell to Retire. ,Johu Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers, announces that he will not be a candidate for re-election a s president. He says that he does not regard himself as well enovigh to attend to the office. It is said, at headquarters that Mr. Mitchell will finish his prese n t term as president, which expires April 1 of next year. Mitchell underwent a surgical operation about six months ago, and it is said that he has not fully recovered and that it is possible it will be necessary for another operation to be performed. To Colonize Korea. A large colonization company is being formed in Tokio supported by Prince I to, Japanese resident general in Korea, for the development, of the agricultural and other natural resources of that country. It is expected that the new scheme will indirectly affect the emigration of Japanese to America, furnishing an outlet, for the surplus population near homo. In connection with the subject of emigration it. may bu stated that the regulations recently adopted are stricter than it. was anticipated they would be. Six emigration companies have already been dissolved, and several others will shortly go out of business. It was these companies that were responsible for much of the Japanese agitation against the United States. Employes Laid Off. The Pressed Steel Car Co., of Pittsburg, has dispensed with 5,000 of its 12,000 employes. The present unsettled condition of the railroads is responsible for laying off the workmen. Many contracts have ben cancelled, while in other instances the railroads are holding back specifications on cars that have been ordered, and which cannot be built until the specifications are given. Most of the foreigners thus thrown out of employment are hurrying to the coal mining towns, where they will be welcomed, as the mining companies have not enough men successfully to operate their mines. Queen of the Seas. The turbine steamship Lusitania is o,ucen of the seas. She finished her second run to New Pork Thursday morning and anchored near the Sandy Hook lightship, waiting until sunrise before entering the harbor through the new Ambrose channel. She made the voyage from D a u n t s Rock across the Atlantic in four days, nineteen hours and fortv minutes. Slip is the first four-day boat, to cross from land to land and she now hulds all the records of^efce western-ocean. Cassis Chadwlck, Convenes, Woman, Die* Jn Ohio Prison. Mrs. Cassie Chadwicfc, whose amaa- Ing financial transactions culminated in the wrecking of an Oberlin bank, died in the woman's ward at the Ohio penitentiary Thursday night. Mrs, Chadwlck had been in a comatose condition for some hours previous to her death and the end came peacefully. Her name was Elisabeth Bigley and *he was a native of Woodstock, Canada. She first came into public notice In Toledo, O., about 20 years ago, where she told fortunes, under the name of Madame Deviere. While in this city she forged the name of Richard Brown, Youngstown, 0., and for this crime was sent to the penitentiary at Columbus for nine years. She served but a portion of this sentence and then located in Cleveland, where she married a man named Hoover. Her second husband was Dr. Leroy S. Chadwlck, of Cleveland, a man of good family and excellent standing in his profession. In the latter part of 11*432, or early in 1903, Mrs. Chadwlck, in the presence of her husband, gave to Ira Reynolds, the cashier of the Wade Park bank, of Cleveland, a box containing notes signed with the name of Andrew Carnegie. These forged notes are alleged to have amounted to $7,500,000. Reynolds gave a receipt for the papers, which described the notes and the signatures upon them. Mrs. Chadwick left with Reynolds as an explanation of the notes, the statement that she was a natural daughter of Carnegie. With the receipt of Reynolds in her possession, Mrs. Chadwlck went to different banks and many capitalists, making loans and paying, not only big interest to the banks, but heavy bonuses to bank officials who loaned her the money. The exact amount of these transactions will never be fully known, but they run up into the millions. They^ involved men of high standing in the' financial world and caused heavy losses to many banks. Kellogg's Quest Succeeds. From statements culled from ledgers and books found in the offices of the Standard Oil Co., Frank B. Kellogg, counsel for the United States government, has succeeded in placing on record of the federal proceedings /against the oil combine the processes and stages through which the combine passed In its changes from the old Standard Oil trust to the present Standard Oil Co., of New Jersey. Out of the maze of figures developed in a voluminous mass from the company's books and from testimony given by Clarence G. Fay, assistant auditor of the Standard, called as a witness Tuesday, the government's counsel says he believes he has proved the federal allegation that the Standard is an illegal corporation and that by devices has maintained its entity and that it is under the same ownership as when it was formed. A Victory for Peace, The adoption by the peace congress at The Hague of obligatory arbitration is regarded as a great victory for the United States. The projects involved, a permanent international high court of justice, court of arbitral justice, obligatory arbitration and universal arbitration, all were presented by Joseph H. Choate, the first American delegate, 'and fought for unceasingly by him. The vote, 31 to 9, showed the only opponents to be Montenegro, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Switzerland, Roumania, Belgium, Austria and Germany. Every one of the nations on the American continent, stood by the United States, thus ending reports of disaffection among Latin-American countries. Germany, which opposed the schemes, had tried to get support from some of these countries, thus increasing the value of the victory scored by the United States. Mae Wood's Suit. The names of several promising government, officials are likely to figure in the suit for divorce Mae Wood has brought against Senator Thomas C. Piatt. Among the documents Miss Wood has in her possession is a paper which purports to be the confession if a former secret service agent. She will endeavor to get this in evidence it the trial. In this paper appear the lames of William Loeb, Jr., secretary :o President. Roosevelt, and Robert J. Wynne, formerly postmaster-general mil now consul-general at London. The illeged confession is dated October 15, 1003. Millions in Timber. Major Ahearn, who has been at the lead of the forestry department In he Philippines since 1900, is enthusllstic over the commercial value of the islands and their possible development. He said the islands contain 40,000 square miles of valuable timber, chlefy pine. The forest products are waitng only to be cut and carried to the ?ea. Major Ahearn mentioned one concession of fiO square miles t h a t ilready had returned a profit of |4,- )00,000. Thousands of such tracts are eady* to be given away for a term of !5 years. Taft in China. No foreigner was ever before given aich a hearty welcome to China as hat accorded to Secretary Taft, who irrlved in China Tuesday. His recepion on the part, of the natives was in •,harge of the heads of the great comnercial guilds that control the business of China, and there were 45 .of .hem represented, and nothing was left mdone to demonstrate £h& cordial friendliness of China for'Tboth him md the nation he represents. ^UwTfc«N<** m WWHTIQHw,.!.-:-™ invalid's Mtftl «Vlfl«ntiJ Mjaj Not Increased Good Humor.

"Make me up a package of tobacco according to the formula used by Edwin Booth," said the man with a southern a c c e n t "That is the third man who has asked for that kind of tobacco to-day," said the dealer. "It is strange that people from remote parts of the country as well as New Yorkers make u fad of buying the same brand of tobacco that Booth smoked. And it isn't always the Booth mixture that they want. I have filed away the formulas for mixing the favorite tobacco of many famous persons. Smokers the country over have heard of this collection of recipeB and* one feature of every man's trip to* New York is to try a pipeful of some big man's favorite tobacco. In most cases this special mixture Is so strong that the nerves of the average smoker cannot stand it.

It did have. In the first place, the rat who wore it was constantly on the move all night, and the tinkling bell kept the family awake, and in the next the sounds brought scores of new rats to the house. Instead of being afraid of the bell, they were charmed with the music.

Kay Spence, a well-known horseman of Mexico, Mo., won 11,000 at tha Louisville, Ky., race meeting a short time ago as the result of a "hunch." Mr. Spence has a large breeding stable of "runners" near Mexico, and attends all the big racing events i n the country. Not long sine* he w a i in Louisville and entered the betting ring to see what odds were being offered on t h e ' Various entries. Ha found that Joaquin was the favorite at even money, and polled Ms wallet from his pocket, intending to bet on that horse. His attention waa attracted by something that fell from his wallet to the ground, and he stooped and picked it up. It waa a Chinese laundpy ticket. H e looked a t the "books" again and found that there was an entry with a Chinese name, Wing Ting, at ten to one. That settled it, for he considered he had received a "hunch" that could not be overlooked. Winfr Ting won handily. Needless to say, those who backed t h e favorite considered^ Sbence the seventh son of the sevehtn^Bon,—Kansas City Star. « BOO-HOO » > Shouts a SpanKed Baby. A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor of a well-known Religious paper, has written regarding the controversy between Collier's Weekly and the Religious Press of the Country and others, including ourselves. Also regarding suits for libel brought by Collier's against us for commenting upon its methods. These are his sentiments, with some very emphatic words left out. "The religious Press, owes you a debt of gratitude for your courage in showing up Collier's Weekly as the "Yell-Oh Man." Would you care to use the inclosed article on the "Boo Hoo Ilaby" as the "Yell-Oh Man's successor?" "A contemporary remarks that Collier's has finally run against a solid hickory "Post" and been damaged in its own estimation to the tune of 1750,000.00." "Here Is a publication which has, in utmost disregard of the facts, spread broadcast damaging statements about the Religious Press and others and has suffered those false statements to go uncontradicted until, not satisfied after finding the Religious Press too quiet, and peaceful, to resent the insults, It makes the mistake of wandering into fresh field and butts Its rattled head against this Post and all the World laughs. Even Christians smile, as the Post, suddenly turns and gives it back a dose of its own medicine." "It is a mistake to say all the World laughs. No cheery laugh comes from Collier's, but. it cries and boo hoos like a spanked baby and wants $750,000.00 to soothe its tender, lacerated feelings." "Thank Heaven It has at last struck a man with "back bone" enough to call, a spade a "spade" and who believes in telling the whole truth without fear or favor." Perhaps Collier's with its "utmost disregard for the facts," may say no such letter exists. Nevertheless it is on file in our office and is only one of a mass of letters and other data, newspaper comments, etc., denouncing the "yellow" methods of Collier's. This volume is so large that a man could not well go thru It urrdor half a day's steady work. The letters come from various parts of America. Usually a private controversy is not Interesting to the public, but this is a puhlic controversy. Collier's has been using the "yellow" methods to attract attention to itself, but, jumping in the air, cracking heels together and yelling "Look at me" wouldn't suffice, so it started out on a "Holier Thati Thou" attack on the Religious Press and on medicine* We leave it to the puhlic now, as we did when we first resented Collier's attacks, to say whether, in a craving for sensation and circulation, its attacks do not amount to a systematic mercenary hounding. We likewise leave i t to the public to say whether Collier's, by its own policy and methods, has not made itself more ridiculous than any comment of our6' could m a k e i t . • • ! > < • , Does Collier's expect to regain any self-inflicted loss of prestige by demonstrating thru suits for damages, that it can be more artful in evading liability for libels than the humble but resentful victims of its defamation, or does it hope for starting a campaign of libel suits to silence the popular indignation, reproach and resentment which it has aroused. Collier's can not dodge this public controversy by private law suits. It can not postpone the public judgment, against it. That great jury, |the Public, will hardly blame us for not waiting until wo get a petit jury in a court room, before denouncing this prodigal detractor of institutions founded and fostered either by .Individuals or by the public, itself. No announcements during our entire business career were ever made claiming "medicinal effects" for either Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal effects are results obtained from the use of medicines. Thousands of visitors go thru our entire works each month and see for themselves that Grape-Nuts contains absolutely nothing but wheat, barley and a little salt; Postum absolutely nothing but wheat and about ten percent of New Orleans Molasses. The art of preparing these simple elements In a scientific manner to obtain the best food value and flavor, required some work and experience to acquire. Now, when any publication goes far enough out of its way to attack us because our advertising Is "medical," it simply offers a remarkable exhibition of ignorance or worse. We do claim physiological or bodily results of favorahle character following the adoption of our suggestions regarding the discontinuance of coffee and foods which may not. be keeping the individual in good health. We have no advice to offer the perfectly healthful person. His or her health is evidence in itself that the beverages and foods used exactly fit that person. Therefore, why change? But to the man or woman who Is ailing, we have something to say as a result of an unusually wide experience in food and the result of proper feeding. In the palpably ignorant attack on us in Collier's, appeared this statement,—" One widely circulated paragraph labors to induce the impression that Grape-Nuts will obviate the necessity of an operation in appendicitis. This is lying and potenttally deadly lying." In reply to this exhibition of—well lot the reader name it, the Postum Co., says: Let It he understood that appendicitis results from long continued disturbance in the intestines, caused primarily by undigested Btarchy food, such as"'white bread, potatoes, rice, partly cooked cereals and Buch. Staffchy food is not digested i n t h e upper stomach but passes on into the duodenum, or lower stomach and intestines,, where, in a healthy individual, the transformation of the starch into a form of sugar is completed and then the food absorbed by the blood. Hut if the powers of digestion are weakened, a part of the starchy food will He in the warmth and moisture of the body and decay, generating gases and irritating the mucous surfaces until under such conditions the whole lower part of the alimentary canal, including the colon and • the appendix, becomes involved. Disease sets up and at times takes the form known as appendicitis. When the Bymptoms of the trouble make their appearance, would it not be good, practical, common sense, to discontinue the starchy food which is causing the trouble and take a food in which the starch has been transformed into a form of sugar in t h e process of manufacture? This is identically the same form of sugar found in the human body after starch has been perfectly" digested. Now, human food is made up very largely of starch and Is required by the body for energy and warmth. Naturally, therefore, its use should be continued, if possible, and for the reasons given above it is made possible in the manufacture of G^ape-Nuts. In connection with this change of food to bring relief from physical disturbances, we have suggested washing out the intestines to get rid of the immediate cause of the disturbance. Naturally, there are cases where t h e disease has lain dormant and the abuse continued too long, until apparently only the knife will avail. But it is a well-established fact among t h e best physicians who are acquainted with the details above recited, that preventative measures are far and away the best. Are we to be condemned for suggesting a way to prevent disease by following natural methods and for perfecting a food that contains no "medicine" and produces no "medicinal effects" but which has guided literally thousands of persons from sickness t o health? We have received during the years past upwards of 25,000 letters from people who have been either helped or m a d e entirely well by following our suggestions, and they are simple. If coffee disagrees and causes any of the ailments common to some coffee users quit it and take on Postum. • If white bread, potatoes, r i c e a t t s ^ other starch foods make trouble, ajsjfjp and use Grape-Nuts food whicsj' l a v . largely predigested and will dsfsSBV nourish and strengthen, when other forms of food do not. It's just plain old common sense. "There's a Reason for Postum and. Grape-Nuta. Poatum Cereal Co,, Ltd, :*?..<. ' ' ! •(-!. 80ME OF THEM MEASURE TWENTV- FOUR INCHES ACROSS.

Will you kindly send uie your suggestions for the fifteenth wedding anniversary? LAClfSPUR, mushroom hat being more prominent than any other, seen durjng t,he sum: mer months. Every imaginable color and shape are shown, yet all of them on the generally round shape, overloaded with elaborate trimmings. Ipvery «ort of .trimming and material is put t o use. The only stipulation made is that the hate complete sbaU show a soft combination of col* ors that harmonize one with the other, with no brilliant contrasts. Some of the big hats measure nearly 25 inches from side to side, and many of them are trimmed with what the shopkeepers called a "simple style." That simple style consists of one huge bird of paradise with its long beak towards the- front of the hat and its beautiful plumage spreading alniost over the entire crown. These birds are perhaps the most expensive form of trimming, owing, to their scarcity, but the shops are showing many soft, fluffy feathers made of marabout and cock plumes which answer the purpose and do not i cost one-tenth as much as a bird of paradise. Let the home-sewer remember that these big bell-shaped hats require much trimming. Some of them are very pretty with just a large bow of ribbon on them. To make a bow suf- J&dientljf large for the up-to-date hat, it wilt take at least two yards of taffeta silk, cut bn the biaa,in ten-Inch BtripB. If you trim the hat with ribbon instead of the bias • silk, you heed at least six yards to make a full bow, ancl th4 ribbon should be 'ffom eight to 12 inches in width. For a 8moker. Please Mme.

Dear Madam—You have been so kind and helpful to me before will you kindly assist me in planing a luncheon, I want to entertain twelve ladies. My idea is to use autumn leaves . Please tell me some pretty way to, »9c them. B. T. M. Yonr idea is a good one. Use the leaves for decorations and scatter over the table cloth. The place cards may be leaf shape, colored with paint or some of the crepe papers come in autumn leaf design. They re lovely when cut out and suspendt h t taMa by ruvialble thread. The "smoker" invitations are written in the name of a man for whom the affair is given, with day, date and hour, the word "smoker" in the lower left-hand corner. This shows the guests that there will be no ladies present. As to the game of cards to be played, it depends entirely upon the man and his guests. Of course, at present everything is "bridge," though many play whist, euchre and rive hundred. The decorations should he very simple, howls and vases of nasturtiums, asters, geraniums or carnations. Men arc proverbially fond of red carnations. I should sorve a herring or anchovy canape first, potato salad, sandwiches, coffee and chocolate ice cream. The drinks, if you have any, I should leave to the man in the case. He will know just what to have and how to serve it. Regarding a Book of Entertainments.

We make it more of a social meeting than study and will you give me information as to where I could get a book on different ways of entertaining, etc.— J. P. L.

A November Wedding Gown. Will you please tell me what to get for a November wedding dress. Something inexpensive in white wool that. could be worn all winter and spring. Also how to make it. I am' 16 years old and do my own sewing.—Marjorie. It would seem to me, my dear, that a wedding gown should be the last. thing for a 16-year-old girl to be contemplating, but as I do not know the circumstances, I suppose I muan't Judge. White wool challis, brilliantines, serge, and what they call taffetas are all good. Thin materials are much worn all through the winter and aa you do your sewing, why not make up an elaborate lingerie gown? 1CADA_T_ MRRRL RHEUMATISM RECIPE PREPARE « I M P H HPME-MAOC MIXTURE YOURSELF. Buy the Ingredients from Any Druggist In Your Town and Shake Them In a Bottle to Mix This. A well-known authority on Rheumatism gives the readers of a large New York dally paper the following valuable, yet ainiple and harmless prescription, which any one can easily prepare at home: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Saraaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and take a teaapoonful after each meal and at bedtime. He states that the ingredients can he obtained from any good prescription pharmacy at small cost, and, being a vegetable extraction, are harmless to take. This pleasant mixture, if taken regularly for a few days, is said to overcome almost any case of Rheumatism. The pain and swelling, if any, diminishes with each dose, until permanent results are obtained, and without injuring the stomach. While there are many so-called Rheumatism remedies, patent medicines; etc., some of which do give relief, few really give permanent results, and the above will, no doubt, be greatly appreciated by many sufferers here at this time. Inquiry at the drug stores of even the small towns elicits the information that these drugs are harmless and can be bought separately, or the druggiBts will mix the prescription if asked to. SEEK TO W I N SOLDIER3. Russian Girls Risk Life for the Cause of Liberty. "When the university opened last autumn I started to work again among the soldiers," said the young woman. "As you know, the revolutionists are at present working very bard to win over the army, and one of the means is to talk freedom directly to the soldiers. For this girls have been found'to be more effective than men; the young peasant soldiers *are more willing to listen to girls, and are far readier to protect them from arrest So all over Russia hundreds and hundreds of girls are now nightly meeting with groups of soldiers, in working men's homes and in barracks. To go into barracks and talk revolution, to the soldiers, hardly anything is so dangerous—for the girl caught is tried by court-martial and in a day or two is executed.— From Leroy Scott's Interview with a Russian Woman, In Everybody's. BABY WASTED TO SKELETON. In Torments with Terrible Sores on Face and Body—Tore at Flesh —Cured by Cuticura. "My little son, when about a year and a half old began to have sores come out on his face. They began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got. to be a mere skeleton and was hardly able to walk. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment, and at the end of about two \ months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since, and only for the Cuticura Remedies my precious child would have died from these terrible sores. I used only one cake of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon, R. F. D. No. 1, Woodville, Conn., April 22, 1905." Reason This Out.

Two quaint observations about hum mlng birds are published in "Early Long Island," by Martha Flint, both quoted from letters of the seventeenth century, written from the new country of America. Says one: "The Humblrd is one of the wonders of the country, being no bigger than a Hornet, yet having all the Demensions of a Bird as bill, wings with quills, spider-like legget, small claws. For Colour she Is as glorious as the Raine bow." Adrian Van der Donck, one of the Hollanders of Nleuw Nederlandt in 1642 writes of a— "Curious small bird concerning which there are disputations whether it is a bird or a bee. It seeks its nourishment from flowers like the bee and is everywhere seen regaling itself on the flowers. Tn flying they make A humming noisn like the bee.

There is not enough water to run the flouring stand at all and the feed can only ran at less than one-third its capacity and then does not do good work* It seems to bad that such a state of things should exist over a small parcel of land of as little value as that in question. The mill has always been and still is a great factor in the building and keeping up of the village and some move should be made to retain it. Mr. Peters purchased the mill several years ago of Thos.

The set*rtjtton of stay-at-homeB in the country Is perhaps passing away—the women—they were chiefly women— who prided themselves on their selfimprisonment on farm or in village aa a virtue, serving to demonstrate their devotion to home and children and duty. There is a class of men In the business world who have the same point of view In regard to the object of life. Such a one, dying at the age of 88, left a record of 55 years as the head of a banking house, during which h e had been absent from his desk but two days—and those were accounted for by a sprained aukle. No vacation, no travel, no day of summer leisure with wife and children—55 years of steady, unswerving routine! There is something Impressive in the story of a lifetime of persistent toil. But there !g another point of view which deserves respect. The gadabout may be a useless member of society; but the stay-at-home is likely to be a narrow one. We find ourselves on this little planet, with Its oceans and mountains and mighty rivers and wide prairies. We know not whence we came, nor if we shall ever pass this way again. Surely, exclaims Youth's Companion, we may do our task better in our own appointed place if we look about the world, feed our minds with the glories of nature, and discover how men and women before us have lived their lives, and embodied their.aspirations in the great arts of building and paintinc and sculpture. A New York woman who is a famous Authority on cooking has gone bankrupt while endeavoring to cater to the appetites cf the people of her town, where she ran two restaurants. ThiB innocent person should have known that the way to make money in New York is to lay in a dozen celluloid sandwiches and a large stock of alcoholic beverages. To try to tempt the New Yorker with good cooking is one of the strangest, vagaries thus far recorded, declares the Chicago News. W h a t he wants is something to stimulate his thirst, not allay his appetite. It is well known that good cooking tends to destroy the craving for drink. Yet this expert in the culinary art deliberately undertook to practice her specialty in Gotham! New Yorkers do not want their craving for drink destroyed, so they probably breathe more freely, now that the scientific cookshopi have landed In bankruptcy. The New York board of education is to investigate the question of corporal punishment, as it has been charged that the discipline of the schools has been undermined by the powerlessness of the teachers to punish and the advantage taken by the children in their knowledge of this immunity.

ONE PRIMARY NEW FEATURE Retains 40 Per Cent Clause and Provides Nomination of U. S. Senalors; Upper House Abuses Warner, Returning Message. WHAT THE SPECIAL SESSION HAS DONE. PASSED T H E S E BILLS. General primary bill, fixing the first Tuesday in September as general primary day. Military bill, increasing the per capita tax from rive to six cents, appropriating $40,000 for state armories and providing pay for enlisted men. Juvenile court bill, giving probate court charge of all such cases. IJill for the annexation of part of the village of Fairview to the city of Detroit. Bill authorizing the state asylum at Newberry to purchase land. Bill amending act relative to the purchase of voting machines. REFUSED TO PASS T H E S E . Bill authorizing refunding of Wayne county road tax. To place telegraph and telephone companies under the ad valorem system of taxation. To authorize the state board of tax commissioners to value the ocean mileage of express companies in computing the valuation of these companies. To restrict lobbying by requiring lobyista to register, and compelling corporations employing them to make a statement of amounts paid them. To restrict watering of stock and over-capitalization by steam and electric railroads by giving the board of railroad commissioners supervision over such matters. The man who makes two blades of grass grow where only one grew be- [ fore was long ago pointed out as de- ; serving well of his fellow creatures, but if distinction is duo to such a one, what, asks the Chicago News, shall ^\9 said of the man who develops a race of hens that would habitually lay more than one egg a day? Surely no tribute of honor and gratitude could be too great for such a one. Prof. Gllman A. Drew of the University of Maine may be the one to whom such debt will eventually be paid, for he has been conducting studies and experiments which lead him to believe that there is no biological reason why a hen should not lay morn than one egg a day. This being true it follows that the same American enterprise which increases the quantity of all other agricultural products will be turned to the hen and compel her to do her full duty. A hen's time is'of no value in other directions, and if she can occupy what has hitherto been idle leisure in producing more eggs, then no laziness on her part should be permitted. She should have no afternoons off. The eyes of the world are now expectantly fixed on Drew and the further results of his experiments. Sensation followed sensation in the final session of the legislature. /First, Governor Warner read the riot act to the legislature in a final message, when he took the members to task for failing to pass the kind of a primary election bill he favored. The members retaliated by endeavoring to secure a quorum in the senate in order that a stinging rebuke in the form of a resolution might be read into the record. In the effort to secure a quorum the Lansing chief of police and two officers were pressed into service, Lieutenant Governor Kelley refusing to allow senate officials to search for the missing men. Shortly before time for adjournment a quorum was secured through the efforts of the police and the senate resolution was passed and went into the record. The vote was 15 to 2. The legislature succeeded in passing the boxers' primary bill, the administrationists capitulating at the last moment and running up the white flag. They declared the boxers' bill was better than none at all. PRIMARY BTLL FIGHT. In token of defeat the senate administration force reported out the ooxer primary bill and passed it with dispatch, meekness and resignation. This decision was reached after a conference following the defeat of the Dickinson bill that had been sent over from the house. It was a foregone conclusion that the session could not be held over another day and the administrationists came to the conclusion that they did not care to accept the responsibility of having the session close without at least abolishing the double primary system which has proved so costly. Senator Fyfe acted as spokesman, and in reporting out the bill said that while it was not just the kind of a bill that ought to be passed, he was convinced that it was the best that could be obtained under the circumstances. The boxers were so taken by surprise that they could hardly believe their senses and there was a rush for the clerk's desk to see if some trick was not being played. The bill was gone over very carefully to see that no changes had been made and then the work of passing the bill was taken up. Senator Fyfe wanted to insert an amendment that would make it clear that, the 40 per cent provision applied to the governor and lieutenant governor, specifically, but even this, was denied him, the others contending that, the context, showed very cleraly what was meant. On the final passage of the bill the vote was 28 to 2, Whitney and Ely voting against, it, the former because he is against primary reform and Ely from chagrin. The house had adopted the senate concurrent resolution to wind up business at midnight when the bill was sent over and it was decided to get the thing over with before taking any recess. Representative Dickinson devoted twenty minutes to explaining the provisions of the bill and pointing out the differences between it and his own bill, after which it was passed, 75 to 4. So far aa being a workable measure the new bill is vastly superior to the present law. In addition It provides for one primary day Instead of two and gives the people a chance to nominate candidates for United States senator. The big point on which the governor lost out is the provision requiring that candidates for governor and lieutenant governor must secure 40 per cent of the vote cast to secure a nomination H retained. The practical effect of this is that unless some candidate for governor shows t h a t he is the popular choice the nomination will be made by a state convention. Some Glaring Defects. There are several glaring defects in the bill, due to the prejudice that exists in some sections of the state, as rejected by their senators, as to how far the primary system should be extended. Several senatorial districts now operating under the primary system will be affected under the newlaw. It is provided that in senatorial districts where all the counties do not operate under the primary, the proposition must be resubmitted by petition. Under the last senatorial reapportionment several primary counties were joined to convention counties, with the result that they will have to petition to have the primary proposition submitted and in case the convention county polls the largest vote will not get it. The biggest change from the present law is the provision relating to the election of delegates to the county convention which in turn elects delegates to the state convention. It is provided that only counties which nominate county officers by the pri- ! mary system shall elect delegates to I the county convention by the primary system. This will hit some thirtyfive counties in the state. I Wayne Back to Caucuses. ! It will result in throwing Wayne [ back to the caucus system to choose j delegates to the county convention, | for the reason that. Wayne, Kent, Muskegon and Alpena counties are exempted from the provisions of the bill, and Wayne has no local act to cover that point. Summed up, the bill aims to make the primary system optional instead of compulsory in the various districts. "We are greatly pleased with the working features of the bill," was the only comment that Attorney-General Bird had to make regarding the bill. Tlmt the administrationists are mad clear through is putting it mildly, but they were outgeneraled, The boxer bill had so many features that could not be overlooked that It threw the burden of action upon them. They waited until the last moment, fondly hoping that some boxer would desert and finally, with defeat but a question of minutes, they wilted. Found a Coal Mine. It has been discovered that Michi gan Odd Fellows were fortunate in buying Cooley park, of 81 acres, in Jackson, for the home for aged members and orphans. They secured with it a coal mine. The coal is from two to four feet thick atfd the average quality of Jackson county coal. It is found at a depth of 60 feet on the west and between 90' and 100 feet, on the eastern part of the property. W. F. Ward, who owns adjoining coal leases, says this coal will yield fromv 3,000 to 7,000 tons per acre and that the revenue would amount to from $250 to $700 per acre. He estimates that the coal covers an area of about 40 acres. Taft to the Filipino*. Secretary Taft opened t h e Philippine assembly in the National theater Thursday morning in the presence of a large orowd of people. In his address Mr. Taft reiterated his former statement regarding the Philippine islands, declaring that his views announced two years ago reg a r d i n g ' the independence of the Philippine people were unchanged. He did not believe that they would be fitted to govern themselves for a t least a generation, but he added that the m a t t e r was entirely in the hands of congress. T h e secretary denied emphatically that the United States had any Intention of disposing of the Islands, said h e had absolute confidence in the Filipinos, dented that he was disappointed in their Inability to legislate conservatively, and asserted his belief that they felt their responsibilities apd acknowledged the necessity of supporting the American government. Mr. Taft refrained from making any suggestions regarding specific legislation on the part of the Philippine assembly, but he recommended that attention be paid to the civil service. Fighting Chinese Boxers. The Imperial Chinese troops detached from the Yang-tse-Kiang valley cantonments since the antt-missionary outbreak at Nan-Kang-tsien, have driven the so-called Boxer rebelB Into the mountains on the borders of Kwang-Tung. In an engagement at Chung-Yi, the troops killed 70 of the insurgents. The government has cashiered many local officials on account of the disorders in the south of China, all of which the government believes, were connected with the revolutionary movement and especially with the anti- Manchu organization headed by Sun-Yat-Sen. Trouble on Lake Steamers. Typhoid fever has caused trouble on several lake vessels the past season, and this has resulted in the issuance of an order at Washington directing the surgeons in charge of marine hospitals at lake ports to make rigid examination of all vessels where typhoid has been reported. Water tanks are the most likely sources of typhoid germs if they are not closely watched, and these will receive particular attention at the hands of the examining surgeons. Cholera Spreading. The cholera which has been spreading the whole past summer from Samara has now broken out violently in Kieff. There were 180 cases Wednesday, and Thursday there were 30 deaths. The city was unprepared, there are insufficient quarters, and corpses are lying on the hospital floors. It is feared that the Infection is be'ng disseminated throughout the south, west. An Auto Record. A report Issued by the Safe Roads Automobile association shows that between Juno 21 and September 21 of this year 41 persons were killed and \\\\\ injured as the result of automobile accidents In the state of Massachusetts, as far as they were recorded by the association. This covered 211 collisions, an average of 2½ dally. THE MARKETS.

From 25 to 30 persons dead and dying, 100 Injured and every house l a Fontanet destroyed, rendering 700 real. dents homeless, is the result of the explosion of the mills of the Dupont Powder Co., near Ptontanet, at 9:15 o'clock Tuesday. The mills burned and t h e bodies of the killed cannot be recovered. Every building In the town and within a radius of half a mile, including the school hou e, is wrecked. The Big Four railroad ran a special train to the scene of the accident with physicians and the injured were brought to the hospitals in Brazil. Supt. Monahan, of the powder mills, is missing and 18 supposed to be in the debris. Panic prevailed among the residents of the surrounding country. There were three explosions shortly after 9 o'clock and a fourth one at 10 o'clock. In which a number of t h e physicians were slightly Injured, among them Drs. Willien and Moore, of Brazil. The shock from the explosion was felt In Indianapolis. At Crawfordsvllle, 35 miles from Fontanet, the shock cracked a brick wall and sank tiling in a floor one Inch. At Brazil, Ind., 15 miles from Fontanet, nearly all the windows in town were shattered and many buildings damaged. The full force of men, 100, was employed at the powder mill, which was working to its capacity to/sajxply- orders. A slight shock s i m i l a r to t h a t of an earthquake, was noticed in Cincinnati. Prof. Porter, of the University of Cincinnati, reported it as very slight, but distinctly noticeable. In southern Indiana several points reported a shock in a more severe form and it was also reported from Hamilton, O. Burned and mangled in every conceivable way, writhing and distorted, the rescued heap of dead and dying presented a ghastly sight and the screams of agony were nerve-racking. Supt. Monahan, of the plant, was sitting in his office at the time of the explosion. He was instantly killed. His body was not found. His home, not far from the mills, was blown to pieces. It is believed hia wife and two Bisters perished, as nothing has been heard from them. State Supt. Nash, of the Dupont Powder Co., who was seriously injured about the head and hips, at a hospital said: "Supt. Monahan, myself and T. T. Kellup, representative of tho Eastern Co., of Wilmington, Del., were in the business office. Monahan and I were looking over the morning's mail, Mr. Kellup was reading a newspaper. That is the last I remember until I was picked up on the hill 100 yards away." Preparing for War. Cen. Linevitch, commander-in-chief of the Russian Siberian army, has reported to the general staff in St. Petersburg as follows: "The J a p a n e s e government Is erecting hastily In Manchuria and Korea fortifications and sending enormous quantities of ammunition to the place.

(Coprrisbt xgo6. by Lothrop, Lee & Shopard Co.) CHAPTER I. Chip was very tired. All that long June day, since Tim's harsh, "Come, out wid ye," bad roused her to daily toil, until now, wearied and disconsolate, she had crept, barefoot, up the back stairs to her room, not one moment's rest or one kindly word had been hers. Below, in the one living room of Tim's Place, the men were grouped playing cards, and the medley of their oaths, their laughter, the thump of knuckles on t h e hare table, and the pungent odor of pipes, reached her through the floor cracks. Outside the fireflies twinkled above the slow-running river and along the stump-dotted hillside. Close by, a few pigs dozed contentedly in their rudely constructed sty. A servant to those scarce fit for servants, a menial at the beck and call of all Tim's Place, and laboring with the men in the fields, Chip, a girl of almost 16, felt her soul revolt at the filth, the brutality, the coarse existence of those whose slave she was. And what a group 4hey were! First, Tim Connor, ttie owner and master of this oasis in the wilderness, 60 miles from the nearest settlement; his brother, Mike, as coarse; their wives and a half a dozen children who played with the pigs, squealed as often for food, and were left to grow up the same way; and Pierre Lubec, the hired man, completed the score. There was another transient resident here, an old Indian named Tomah, who came with the snow, and deserted his hut below on the river bank when spring unlocked that stream. Two occasional visitors also came here, both even more objectionable to Chip than Tim and his family. One was her father, known to her to be an outlaw and escaped murderer in hiding; the other a half-breed named Holduc,"but known as One-Eyed Pete, a trapper and hunter whose abode was a log ca&in on the Fox Hole, ten miles away. His face was horribly scarred by •! wildcat's claws; one eye-socket was empty; his lips, chin, and protruding teeth were always tobacco stained. For three months now, he had made weekly calls at Tim's Place, in pursuit of Chip. His wooing, as .might be expected, had been a persistent leering at her with his one sinister eye, oftrepeated innuendoes and Insinuations of lascivious nature, scarce understood by her, with now and then attempted familiarity. These advances had met with much tlv same reception once accorded him by the wildcat. Both these visitors were now with the group below. That, fact was of no interest to Chip, except in connection with a more pertinent, one—a Ions conference she had observed between them that day. What it was about, she could not. guess, and yet some queer intuition told her that it concerned her. Ordinarily, she would have sought sleep in her box-on-legs bed; now she crouched on the floor, listening. For an hour the game and its medley of sounds continued; then cessation, the tramp of heavily, shod feet, the light extinguished, and finally— silence. A few minutes of this, and then the sound of whispered converse, low yet distinct; reached Chip from outside. Cautiously she c r e s t to. her window. "I gif you one hunerd dollars now, for se g s ^ ' Pete was saying, "an' one hunerd more when you fotch her." "It's tbrse hundred down, I've told ye, or we don't do business," was her father's answer, In almost a hiss. A pain like a knife piercing her sv&art came to Chip. "Rut s'pose she run away?" came in Pete's voice. "What, 60 miles- to a settlement? Y D * must be a damn fool!" **An' if she no mind mo?" •:^S<vVal, thrash her then; she's yours." ^ J^tJut I no gif so much," parleyed P e t e ; "1 gif you one-feefty now, an' one hufi'erd ^ h e n she come." "You'll give what I say, end be quick About it, or I'll take her out tomorrow, and you'll never se* tor again; to fork over." "And you fotch M r to-morrow r* " X ^ X ^ d . * < M C u And s o tk*~fts*> gain was socclnde*}.. Only a moment more, while Chip sat nmab and daaao. then came the sound of footstep** a s the two men separated, and then silence over Tim's Place. And yet,»wh*t a horror for Chip! Sold like a horse or a pig to this worse than disgusting half-breed, and on the morrow to be taken—no, dragged—to the half-breed's but by her hated fa ther. Hardly conscious of the real intent and object of this purchase, she. yet understood it dimly. Life here was bad enough—it was coarse, unloved, even filthy, and yet, hard as it was, It was a thousand times better than slavery with such a n owner. And now, still weak and trembling from the Bhock, she raised her head cautiously and peeped out of the window. A faint spectral light, from the rising moon outlined the log barn, the two log cabins, and pigsty, which, with the frame house she was in, comprised Tim's Place. Above and beyond where the forest enclosed the hillside, it shone brighter, and as Chip looked out upon the etheral BilYered view, away to the right she saw the dark opening into t h e old tote road. Up this *hey had brought her, eight years before. Never smce had Bhe traversed it; and yet, as she looked at it now, an inspiration born of h e r father's Bueer came to her. It was a desperate chance, a foolhardy step—a journey so appalling, so almost hopeless, s h e might well hesitate; and yet, escape t h a t way was her one chance. Only a moment longer she waited, then gathering her few belongings— a pair of old Bhoes, the moccasins Old Tomah bad given her, a skirt and jacket fashioned from Tim'B cast-off garments, a fur cap, and soft felt hat—she thrust them into a soiled pillow-case and crept down the stairs. Once out, Bhe looked about, listened, then darted up t h e hillside, straight for the tote road entrance. Here she paused, put on h e r moccasins, and looked back. The moon, now above the tree-tops, shone full upon Tim's Place, softening and silvering all its ugliness and all its squalor. Away to the left stood '".jr The Ever Present Menace of a derness Assailed Her. Wil Tomah's hut. across the river, a shining path bright and rippled. In spite of the awful dread of her situation and the years of her hard, unpaid, and oft.times cursed toil, a pang of regret, now came to her. This was her home, wretched as it. was. Here she had at least been fed and warmed in winters, and here Old Tomah had shown hor kindness. Oh, if he were only in his hut now, that she might go and waken him softly, and beg him to take h e r in his canoe and speed down the river! But no! only her own desperate courage would now avail, and realizing that this look upon Tim's Place was the last, one, she turned and fled down the path. Sixty miles of stony, bushencumbered, brier-grown, seldom-traveled road lay ahead of her! Sixty miles through the somber silence and persistent menace of a wilderness, peopled only by death-intending creatures, yellow-eyed and sharp-fanged! With only "a sickening, soul-nauseating fate awaiting her a t Tim's Place, and her sole escape this almost insane flight, she sped on. The faint, spectral rifts of moonlight through interlaced fir and spruce as often deceived as aided her; bending boughs whipped her, bushes and logs tripped her, -sharp stones and pointed sticks bit her; she hurried over hillocks, wallowed through sloughs and dashed into tangles of briers, heedless of all except her one mad impulse to escape. Soon the ever present menace of a wilderness assailed her,—the yowl of a wildcat close at hand; in a swamp, (lie sharp bark of a wolf; on a hillside above her, the hoot of an owl; and when after two hours of this desperate flight had exhausted her and she was forced to halt, strange creeplas, crawling things seemed all about. ¥ And now the erratic, fantastic beliejrj JBJISBV* low table of boards. Upon the of Old Tomah returned to her. With him the forest was people by a weird; uncanny caos. sometimes visible and sometimes noW'spites," ho called them, and they were the souls of <both man ana beast; sometimes good, smne- Um.es otll, aolgrding as they had been in life, and all good or ill luck was doe to their ghostly Influences. They followed the hunter and trapper day and night, luring him into safety of danger, as they chose. They were everywhere, and in countless numbers, ready and sure to avenge, all wrongs and se ward all virtues. They had a Chieftain also, a great white spectre who came forth from the north in winter, and swept across the wilderness, spreading death and terror. To Chip, educated only in the fantastic lore of Old Tomah, these terrors now became Insanity breeding. She could art t u r n . back—better death among the spites than slaving to tfee half-breed; and so, faint from awful fear, gasping from miles of running, she stumbled on. And now a little hope came, for the road bent down beside the river,, and its low voice seemed a word of cheer. Into its cool depths she could at least plunge and die, as a last resort. Soon an opening showed ahead, and a bridge appeared. Here, for the first time, on this vantage point, she halted. How thrice blessed those knotted logs now seemed! She hugged and patted them in abject gratitude. She crawled to the edge and looked over into the dark, gurgling water. Up above lay a faint ripple of silver. Here, also, she could see the moon almost at the zenith, and a few flickering stars. A trifle of courage and renewal of hope now came. Her face and hands were scratched and bleeding, clothing torn, feet and legs black with mud. But these things she neither noticed nor felt—only that blessed bridge of logs that gave her safety, and the moon that bade her hope. Then she began to count her chances. This landmark told her that five miles of her desperate journey had been covered and she was still alive. She began to calculate. How soon would her escape*be discovered, and who would pursue her? Only Pete, her purchaser, she felt sure, and there was a possible chance that he might return to his cabin before doing so. Or perhaps he might sleep late, and thus give her one or two hours more of time. And now cheered by this trifling hope and lessening sense of danger, her past life came back. Her childhood in a far-off settlement; the home always In a turmoil from the strange men and women ever coming and going; the drinking, swearing, singing, at all hours of the night, her constant fear of them and wonder who they were and why they came. There were other features of this disturbed life: frequent quarrels between her father and mother; curses, tears, and sometimes blows, until at last after a night more hideous than any other her mother had taken her and fled. Then came a long journey to another village and a new life of peace and quietness. Here it was all so different—no redshirted men to be afraid of, no loudvoiced women drinking with them. She became acquainted with other children of her own age, was sent to school and taken to church. Here, also, her mother began to smile once more, and look content. For two years, and the only ones Chip cared to recall, she had been a happy schoolgirl, and then came a sudden, tragic end to it. all. Of that she never wished to think. It was all so horrible, and yet so mercifully brief. The one friend life held, her mother, had been brought home, wounded to death amid the whirring wheels of the mill where she worked; there were a few hours of agonized dread as her life ebbed away, a whisper or two of love and longing, and then the sad farewell made doubly awful by her father's frowning face and harsh voice. At its ending, and in spite of her fears and tears, she was now borne away by him. For days they journeyed deeper and deeper into a vast wilderness, to halt at. last at Tim's Place. Like a dread dream it all came back now. as she lay there on this one flat spot, of security—the bridge;—and listened to the river's low murmur. All through her mad flight the wilderness had been ghostly and spectral in the moonlight; now it had become lost in inky blackness, yet alive with demoniac voices. All the goblin forms ! and hideous shapes of Old Tomah's ! fancy were rushing and leaping about, j Now high up in the treetops. now deep ! in the hollows, they screamed and I shrieked and moaned. J An;1 now. just as this fierce battle of | sound and spectral shape was at its ! worst, and Chip, a hopeless, helpless i mite of humanity, crouched low upon j the bridge, suddenly a vicious growl \ reached her, and raising her head she I saw at the bridge's end two gleaming eyes! of a broad, slow-running stream, two canoes were drawn out, and halfway between these and the table a camp-fire burnt Here Levi, sfartlh's:<*oide for many trips into this wilderness, was also cor copied, Intently watehfeftg two palls depending from bending wambecks, a coffee-pot hanging from another, and imp frying-pans, whose sputtering contents gave forth an enticing odor. Twilight was just falling, the river murmured in low melody, and a few rods above a small rill entered it, adding a more musical tinkle. "toon Levi deftly swung one of the pails away from the flame with a hookstick and speared a potato with a fork. "Supper ready," he called; and then as the rest seated themselves at the table, he advanced, carrying the pall of steaming hot potatoes on the hooked stick and the frying-pan in his other hand. T h e meal had scarce begun when a crackling in the undergrowth back of the tent was heard, and on the Instant there emerged a girl. Her clothing was In shreds, her face and hands were black with mud, streaks of blood showed across cheek and chin, and her eyes were fierce and sunken. "For God's sake give me suthln" to eat," she said, looking from one to another of the astonished group. "I'm damn near starved—only a bite," she added, sinking to her knees and extending her hands. "I hain't eat nothin' but roots V berries for three days." 'Angle was the first to recover. "Here," she said, hastily extending her plate, "take this." Without a word the Btarved creature grasped It and began eating as only a desperate, hungry animal would, while the group watched her. "Don't hurry so," exclaimed Martin, whose wits had now returned. "Here, take this cup of coffee." Soon the food vanished and then the girl arose. "Sit down again, my poor child," entreated Angie, who had observed the strange scene with moist eyes, "and tell us who you are and where you came from." "My name's Chip," answered the girl, bluntly, "an" I'm runnln' away from Tim's Place, 'cause dad sold me to Pete Bolduc." "Sold—you—to—Pete—Bolduc," exclaimed Angie, looking at her wideeyed. "What do you m e a n ? " "He did, sartin," answered the girl, laconically. "I heerd 'em makin' the bargain, 'n' I fetched 4 three hundred dollars." Martin and his wife exchanged glances. "Well, and then what?" continued Angie. "Wal, then I waited a spell, till they'd turned in," explained the girl, "and then I lit out. I knowed 'twas GO miles to the settlement, but 'twas moonlight 'n' I chanced it. I've had an awful time, though, the spites hev chased me all the way. I was jist makin' a nestle when I seed yer light, an' 1 crept through the brush 'n' peeked. I seen ye wa'n't nobody from Tim's Place, 'n' then I cum out. I guess you've saved my life. I was gittin' dizzy." It was a brief, blunt story whose directness bespoke truth; but it revealed such a pigsty state of morality at this Tim's Place that the* little group of astonished listeners could scarce finish supper or cease watching this muchsoiled girl. "And so your name is Chip," queried Angie at last. "Chip what?" "Chip McGuire," answered the waif, quickly; "only my real name ain't Chip, it's Vera; but. they've alius called me Chip at Tim's Place." "And your father sold you to this man?" "He did, 'n' he's a damn bad man." replied Chip, readily. "He killed some body once, an' he don't, show up often. I hate him!" "You mustn't use swear words," returned Angie; "it's not nice." The girl looked abashed. "I guess [ you'd cuss if you'd been sold to such a nasty-looking man as Pete," she responded, "He chaws terbaecer 'n' lets it drizzle on his chin, 'n' he hain't but one eye."

In L'ront of this Angle, Martin's wife, was Discing tin dishes, knives and forks It is thought that the old Caylloma silver mines in Peru are probably sit uated at a greater elevation than any other considerable mines in the world. Their altitude varies between 14,000 and 17.000 feet. They were worked by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century, ;ir.d before that, it is believed, by the Incas. An English company is now preparing a hydro-electric plant for them. This plan? will be situated at an altitude of between 15.000 and 16,- 000 feet. It will derive its power from a waterfall on the Santiago river, and in a dry season from Lake Huaillacho. one of the sources of the Amazon. The power will be transmitted by cable about threo miles. At the highest mines the pressure of the atmosphere is only eight and one-half pounds a square inch, and water boils 24 degrees below the ordinary boiling point. —Youth's Companion.

Consul General O. sV dal writes from Beirut as fata", corning this fooa: > •' "Arabs aad Moors eat them. In the south of £T -ope carobs are employed as food for horses, cattle and swine. In Cyprus, next to barley, they constitute the principal article for export. The tstaj yield of the island of carobs or locust beans (not to be confounded with St. John's bread), in 1906, amounted to 69,000 tons. In August the carob tree Is seen bearing both flowers and ripe fruit. The latter is a pod, brown and leathery, four to eight inches long, a little curved, and containing a fleshy and at last mealy pulp, of an agreeable sweet taste, in which lie a. number of shining brown seeds; these are bitter and of no use. "On account of the abundant sugar contained In carobs, the latter form a nutritious and fattening food for horses and cattle. England, for the feeding of cattle, Imports large quantities of carobs, in the form of flour (t^at they may be more digestible) from Spain, Italy, Crete, Samoa and Cyprus. Most of the Cyprus carobs however, are exported in bulk, and the grinding is done in England. A considerable quantity of this 'cattle food' is exported from Great Britain to the United States. If proper steam ing facilities existed between the United States and Levant, carobs would probably be carried direct to the United States to be prepared there into cattle food. Carobs are also used In considerable quantities especially In France, for distillation, and t h e spirits obtained are deemed choice. Carobs are also employed for the production of a semi-liquid substance, resembling molasses, largely used in the.manufacture of oriental sweets. The carob tree, which is quite distinct from the locust tree of America, seems to prefer the mild climate oJ the southern sea coasts and islands of the Mediterranean. It is, however found in the Lebanon, for Instance and its introduction into the north 01 India has been recommended on th« supposition that it would prove ar important addition to the resources 01 the country and a valuable safeguarc against famine. The produce is ex ceeding abundant, some trees yield ing as much as 900 pounds of pods The wood is hard and much valued and the bark and leaves are used foi tanning. The carob tree propagate! freely. The cultivated trees hate al) been grafted.' I 1' Copper in Japan. Copper, with a value of 112,000,000 stands first on the list of metals 01 Japanese production. Gold follow.' with $2,000,000; then silver with $1. 650,000, and iron with $1,300,000. Leai shows $160,000; antimony, $-15,000 and manganese, $40,000. The value o' the sulphur output was $2S7,000, an<' the value of other mine products h trifling. The future of Japan's min ing industry, with the exception ol coal, is entirely speculative, with tht chances against its important devel opment in any line.

W. VAUX, A G P & T A 135 Adams St. Chicago. Thomas A. Edison, the great American inventor, savs "Fully eighty per cent of the illness of mankind comes from eating improper food or to much food; people are inclined to over-indulge themselves." This is where indigestion finds its beginning in nearly every case. Th* stomach can do just so much work and no more, and when you overload it, or when you eat the wrong kind of food, the indigestive organs cannot possibly do the work demanded of them. It ia at such times that the stomach needs help, it demands help, and warns you by headaches, belching, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. Yon should attend to this at once by taking something that, will actually do the work for the stomach. Kodol will do this. It is a combination of natural digestants and vegetable acids and contains the same juices tound in a healthy stomach. It is plea.-ant to take. It digests what you eat. Sold by F. A.

MICHIGAN BRIEFS; P. M. BRAKE MAN'S NEGLECT WRECKS PASSENGER TRAIN '" AT PALMS; SIX INJURED. COLLIDE ON OPEN SWITCH One Crematod and Four Injur** in •pecUoular $75,000 Sawmill Blaze at Bay City. With a crash that fairly rattled this village to its foundation*, northbound passenger train on the Port Austin branch of the Pere Marquette struck an open switch in the yards and telescoped an extra freight on the siding. Six persons were injured; two critically. Palms, with a population of 100, is a junction of the Harbor Beach and Port Austin branches of t h e P. M., about 70 miles from Bay City. Railroad officials who v l r t e d the scene of t h e accident unhesitatingly lay the blame to carelessness of t h e rear brakemau of the freight in not closing and locking the switch. It is said there were nu switch lights burning. The escape of Fireman Highborn, of t h e freight's engine, w a s t h e feature of the collision. Highborn was perched on the pilot of his engine attending to his headlight when t h e smash came. He had but an instant's warning, but instead of jumping he dived for t h e smokestack and then dropped to one side without a scratch. Had he remained on the pilot he doubtless would have been seriously injured if not killed. Four of the injured will be taken to their homes. $75,000 Sawmill Blaze at Bay City. William Lapham was burned to death and four others injured in t h e destruction of the Kern Manufacturing Co.'s sawmill plant which was burned to t h e ground at Bay City, entailing a loss of $75,000. The mill consisted of a double band saw and resaw, a lath mill and shingle mill, and was one of t h e most complete plants on the river. The fine sawdust powder, accumulated through years of sawing, acted almost as an explosive and the 100 men at work in the mill escaped through windows and over tramways, leaving their coats, hats and tools behind them. So blinding was t h e smoke from the puffs of burning dust that many of the men were forced to crawl out on their hands and knees. William Barber, a flier, had his hands and face literally cooked, as he leaped through a window out of which the flames were already coming. Ronald McDonald, a sawyer, was burned about the head, neck and hands, and Richard Tucker, a filer, was injured slightly by jumping through a window. Kugene Kellogg, a Hreman, was overcome by heat, but Is recovering. P. M. R. R. GetB on Feet.

Cancellation of t h e lease of the Pere Marquette is made one of the duties of the arbitrators, and the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railroad is to turn over to the reorganiz-, ing committee of the Pere Marquette the stock which it holds in that road, 'Phone to Every Six Persons. In proportion to its size, Marquette has more telephones in use than any other city in the state.

Traced a Body tc a River, Says a JLcndon Report. 4ta e ^ a o r d i a ^ tAse df clairvoyance t>y ft child hair daused considerable interest here, telegraphs our Christina* la correspondent. About a fortnight ago a man living in the Oewterdal valley disappeared suddenly' from his home, and all search proved rain. The child, John Floettum, 14 years of age, was sent for eight days after the man's disappearance. The boy walked around the house where the man had lived and got a photograph of him, which he carefully examined. Sitting at a table, with his left band covering his eyes, be drew some lines on a slip of paper, the lines indicating where the man had walked. The perspiration poured down the boy'B face, and he often stopped. When at last he "saw" a place where the man had sat down under a big tree, he was exhausted and had to give up for the day. People were sent out to search, with the boy's sketch as their guide. The whole population of the district followed, and excitement was high as the crowd followed the course the man had taken, step by step, as Indicated by the boy. Night came on before they reached the tree, and the search was adjourned till next day, when the boy himself led the party. He took them to the tree, and there found the lost man's handkerchief. From the tree the boy went straight to a river, but again he became so exhausted that he had to give up. However, as soon as he came home he said he could plainly "see" where the man was. Early next morning the search party, with the boy, took a boat, which was steered according to the boy's directions. After a while he suddenly rose and said, "Here he lies." A search was made and the body was found at the bottom of the river on the very spot the boy had pointed out The boy only three months ago dis covered that he possessed this ex traordinary sense of clairvoyance. During this time he has given many proofs of his strange power. A man went to him and told him that he had lost a gold ring in a field last autumn as he was loading hay on a cart, and the boy soon told the man that the ring could be found among the hay on his farm, pointing out the very place, where the ring was immediately found. The boy has achieved other feuts equally remarkable. Old Turkish Joke. Among the many anecdotes related of the old Turkish Joker, Nasir-Eddfn Khodja, is the following: Khodja went one evening to the well to draw water, and looking down to the bottom he saw the moon. Quickly he ran Into the house and got a rope with a hook attached to the end of It. This he lowered into the well. The hook caught fast on a stone, Khodja pulled desperately, the hook gave way and there was the joker Hat on his back staring up into the sky.

A New York clergyman, who often spends his vacation in fishing the streams of the Adirondacks, was on one trip adopted by a handsome setter dog, which insisted on following him from camp to camp, as he moved along the stream. One day he met a party of men working upstream with a native guide. The guide immediately recognized the dog as his own property. "Trying to steal my setter, are you?" he shouted at the clergyman. "I'll have you to jail for this! There's a law in the woods just as big as you have in the city." The clergyman endeavored to explain that he was an unwilling companion of the dog, which had refused to be driven away, but to little effect until he added a two-dollar bill to his arguments.

"Yes, sir," replied the driver, sympathetically, and added, after a moment's pause, "For myself, sir, I have never been accused of stealing anything."— Youth's Companion. Saw It Come Out of a Cow.

The Great Musician Med *<» U « * for His Production. A great tenor had been singing for some hours into a phonograph. "The phonograph," he said, "is a wonderful thing. It almost realizes the wish of the Scottish poet, the wish that we might see ourselves as others see us. We can now, at least, hear ourselves, a thing impossible before. The phonograph teaches us many valuable lessons. When I was in the army, before I realised the capabilities of my voice, I played the flute. A phonograph salesman brought a phonograph to my quarters and tried to sell it to me on the instalment plan. I was undecided. Finally the man took out a blank cylinder. " 'See,' he said, rather reluctantly, 'here is a blank cylinder. You may make a record on It, then we will run it off and you shall hear yourself. It's a costly favor I am doing you, but it will show you what a fine instrument this is.' "I was delighted. " Til get my Bute/ I said. Til play a flute solo.' "Well, I played my best into the machine. It seemed to me that I had never combined before such feeling with such accuracy. I was more than pleasef with myself. Then the man put in the cylinder, and the music began to issue forth. I frowned. " 'Is that me?' I said. " 'Yes, sir,' said the man. " 'Really me, just as I played?' " 'Precisely, sir, precisely. And now,' said he, "do you want to buy the phonograph ?' "'No,' said I; 'I want to sell the flute.'" S K I N SORE E I G H T Y E A R S . 9 oo DROP ITTIIIIIIIiliflHHi ALCOHOL 3 PKB CENT.

It ib as If tke neighbors of two law-abiding cltiaens were coutlnu ally bickering and carrying their quarrels over the fence Into the grounds of the peaceful. It is ths duty of the orderly, not only for their own protection, but in the interest of decency, to persuade the disorderly to behave themselves. The presidents of the United States and of Mexico acted aa benevolent International neighbors when they tendered the good offices of their governments to the quarreling republics in Central America to assist In arranging a plan for arbitrating all disputes which cannot be settled by the republics themselves. Government is in an unsettled condition in Central America. Although nominally democratic in form, in fact it is almost a military despotism. That aspiring leader wins the election who can command the largest number of soldiers, and the people have little conception of the nature of what we in America know as representative Institutions. There is little more respect for the rights of the neighboring countries than for the rights of the opposition party; consequently petty wars are of frequent occurrence. This survival of a sort of petty feudalism, a group of little warring countries, squabbling over matters that other people* to-day Mttle peaceably, cannot b» tolerated. It Is necessary, how- **«r 9lD*rlBL,T«itV8 Companion, ii/i the United State* to assume that these little countries mean to keep the peace save on the gravest provocation. Yet Its joint action with Mexico amounts to little less than a warning that If they do not behave in an orderly manner voluntarily, they will be forced to submit to the power of the stronger nations. LATEST NEWS OF MICHIGAN In competition last month in rifle marksmanship at Ottawa, Americans won the Palm trophy, Canadians came second, Australians third, and British last. The Americans' score is ten points better than any score ever made with any kind of rifle, and in this contest the rifles used were not specially designed for target shooting, but were the types furnished to the armies for actual service. It is significant that the lowest score In this contest is better than the winning score in the last previous contest. That is, the whole standard of skill has been raised. No wonder that good sportsmen like King Edward and President Roosevelt were delighted at the result. T H E FATAL AUTOMOBILE RIDE OF PETER RALSTON W I T H FRED. B. P I A T T . HOW WAS HE KILLED? Piatt, Who Drove the Machlno With Ralkton on Its Zig-zag Course, Soems to Be Hazy Abgut It. Coroner Investigating. One portion of the mystery surrounding the death of Peter A. Ral yton, of Lansing, who was found lying in the gutter on Washtenaw street oast, having been killed in an automo bile accident, early Friday morning, has been cleared up. That is. the name of the party with whom Ralston was riling at the time. He in Fred. B. Piatt, a local capitalist. Piatt, however, declares he remembers nothing of the tragedy, and did uot kaow Ralston had bean killed until told so Friday morning. He told the police he had only a vague recol lection of having seen Ralston the night of the accident, and of having had trouble with his automobile. A coroner's jury has been impaneled, and a thorough investigation is being made. It has been learned through attaches of the Downey house that Piatt and Ralston were there until 12:30, when they entered Piatt's car and drove off. Apparently Piatt's automobile became unmanageable at the start, as its course Is traceable by zig-zag tracks over lawns, curbs and sidewalks on various streets. The first clue the police had that Piatt was in the affair was when his hat, bearing the initials, F. B. P., was picked up near where the dead man lay. Then his machine was found to be jammed up, presumably where it had collided with a telephone pole at the point where the fatality occurred. Ralston came to Lansing from Bay City, where a son, Philip, is a pharmacist. MICHIGAN BRIEFS, The recently completed census of Oklahoma shows a population of 1,- 408,732. In 1900 the two territories which made up the new state had a* total population of only 790,391. Only 22 states had, in 1900, a larger population than Oklahoma has now. The next reapportionment will probably increase the representation of Oklahoma in congress; for while the enabling act gives the state Ave representatives, the population, on the present basis of apportionment, would allow seven. The whole of New England could be set down within the limits of the new state and leave a fringe of territory amounting to nearly 4,000 square miles. Majority Rule. The committee on rules of the constitutional convention have completed their work. A majority of the members- elect will rule in the proceedings A majority can take away from a committee or refer back to a committee. To suspend the rules, however, a twothirds majority is required, as in most parliamentary bodies. The rules in general follow the house rules, though they are much briefer, not having relation to the senate or to the official character of state officers. Delegates will introduce their • lggestiona in the form of "proposals," and these will go to committee, to committee of the whole or to third reading, .AS "bills" in the house. There will also be room on the order of business for motions and resolutions and communications from state officers and departments. The prevailing sentiment in the convention Just now seems to be for a session ending at Christmas. To effect this it. is proposed that the convention take up first the vast sections of the old constitution, which will be re-enacted without alteration, then the sections less in need of amendment, then the sections of necessary alteration, and finally the sections on which there is controversy.

City Attorney Taggart has devised a plan to remedy the mistake which wiped out the Grand Rapids primary law and which the special session refused to correct in the new bill. Chas. Holdr.n and E. L. Montgomery, chairmen of the Republican and Democratic committees, have asked the council for primaries on the regular day and petitions will be circulated in the usual way and presented to the city clerk, who will refuse them. The matter will then be taken to the supreme court on a mandamus and it will be argued that the city's law was wiped out by mistake and should therefore remain in effect by inference. Defect in Primary Law. Senator Wetmore, of Cadillac, says he has discovered a serious omission in the new primary bill, which he believes will invalidate It. "The hill provides," he said, "that in senatorial districts which do not nominate by the primary system the nominations shall be made by conventions, but there is no provision in the bill for initiating conventions or providing for the appointment of senatorial committees.

Attorney General Bird has discontinued the suit commenced four years ago to compel the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee railroad to reduce its fare, the company having complied with the recent two-cent fare statute. From the effects of injuries sustained three years ago when the rig in which he was riding was struck by a runa'way team of horses, Stephen R. Hall, a pioneer resident, died at his home In Flint Thursday. He was 77 years of age. Four children survive. So far this year there have been 49 drownings in the Detroit river, accord fng to the "log book" of Harbormaster Robert Ellison. This is by far the largest number that have met death by the water route during any like period of time In the history of De troit. THE AIRSHIPS, Winners of Cup Race and Data of the Flights.

Lincoln Beachey, of Toledo, Wednesday won the dirigible airship race, which marked t h e close of the St. Louis aeronautic carnival. The prise was $2,000. In his "Beachey airship," a cigarshaped affair, propelled by a four-cylinder gasoline motqr, the winner covered the distance in four minutes and 40 seconds. Jack Dallas, in the "Strobel Airship," a sister craft to the Beachey, won second place with 6 minutes and 10 seconds, while Capt. Thomas S. Baldwin, of New York, in the "California Arrow," was third in 7 minutes and 5 seconds. With every balloon racing record broken, the second international cup competition, which started Monday Trom St. Louis, ended Wednesday with the German balloon Pommern winning first prize for the longest flight. 1.

His lordship reviewed the duties and rights of "carriers," as laid down by the railway act, in the shipment of explosives, and added t h a t t h e grand Jury by Its action apparently exonerated the employes, or at least those who had charge of the explosive In Ontario. "In my view it is not too much t o require of a railway company If M persists In carrying explosives to do so only in cars made for the express purpose in a train on jvhich no other freight or passengers are carried, and accompanied by a person who understands how to deal with such explosives," said Justice Rtddajl.

Chip McGuire, a 15-year-old girl living at Tim's place In the Maine woods, is sold by her father to Pete Bolduc, a half-breed. 8he runs away and reaches the camp of Martin Friable, occupied by Martin, his wife, nephew. Raymond Stetson, and fuldes. She tells her story and (s cared tor by Mrs. Fribble. C H A P T E R II.—Continued. Angle smiled, while Martin stared at the girl with increased astonishment. He knew who tbiB McGuire was, and something of his hiBtory, and that Tim's Place was a hillside clearing far up the river, inhabited by an Irish family devoted to the raising of potatoes. He had halted there once, long enough to observe its somewhat slothful condition, and to buy pork and potatoes; but this tale was a revelation, and tho girl herself a greater one. This oasis in the wilderness was fully 40 miles above here, its only connectioa+ with civilization was a seldomused log road which only an experienced woodsman could follow, and bow this mere child had dared it, was a marvel. But there she was, squat on the ground and watching them with big black, pleading eyes. There Was but one thing to do, to care for her now, as humanity insisted, and Angie made the first move. It was in the direction of cleanliness; for entering the tent, she Boon appeared with some of her own extra clothing, soap, and towels, and bade the girl follow her up the river a few rods. The moon was shining clearly above the treetops, the camp-fire burned brlgh.ly, and Martin, Ray and Levi were lounging near it when the two returned, and In one an astouishing transformation had taken place. Angle had gone away with a girl of tea in respect to clothing, her skirt evidently made of gunny cloth and reaching but little below her knees, and for a waist, what was once a m a n s red flannel shirt, and both iu rags. Soiled with black mud, and bleeding, she was an object pitiable beyond words; she returned a young lady, almost, in stature, her face shining and rosy, and her eyes so tender With gratitude that they were pathetic. Another change had also come with cleanliness and clothing—a sudden bashfulness. It was some time ere she could be made to talk again, but finally that wore away and then her story came. What a tale it was— ecarce credible. It was a fantastic, weird, almost spookish tale,—the spectres she had seen were so real to her that the telling made them seem almost so to the rest, and beyond that, the girl herself, so like a young witch, with her shadowy eyes and furtive glances, added to the illusion. Rut now came a diversion, for Levi freshened the fire, and at a nod from Angle, Ray brought forth his banjo. It was his one pet foible, and it went with him everywhere, and now, with time and place so in accord, he was glad to exhibit his talent. He was not an expert,—a few jigs and plantation melodies composed his repertory,—but with the moonlight glinting through the spruce boughs, the river murmuring near, somehow one could not fail to catch the quaint humor of "Old Uncle Ned," "Jim Crack Corn," and the like, and see the two dusky lovers as they floated down the "Tombigbee River" and feel the pathos of "Nellie Grey" and "Old Kentucky Home." Ray sang fairly well and in sympathy with each theme. To Angle and the rest it was but ordinary; but to this waif, who never before had hoard « s*aJo-«* a datfcytoftg. It was «»r- Ul a» wstb kas*4nm of But Angi* Insisted and the girl foK lowed her tat* the t e n t Here occurred another incident that must be related. Angle, always devout, and somewhat puritanical, was one who never forgot her nightly prayer, and now, when ready for slumber, she knelt on the bed of fir twigs, and by the light of one small candle offered her usual petition, while Chip watched her with wide and wondering ©yes. As might be expected, that waif was mentioned, and with deep feeling. "Do ye s'pose God heard ye?" she queried with evident candor, when Angle ceased. "Why, certainly," came the earnest answer; "God bears ail prayers." "And do the spites hear 'em?" "There are no such creatures as 'spites/" answered Angle, severely; "you only Imagine them, and what this Indian has told you Is superstition." "But I've seen 'em, hundreds on 'em, big and little," returned the girl, Btoutly. Angie looked at her with pity. "Put that notion out of your head, once for all" she .said, almost sternly. "'It is only a delusion, and no doubt told to' scare you." And poor Chip, conscious that per* haps she had sinned in speech, said no more. For a long time Angie lay sleepless upon her fragrant bed, recalling the waif's strange story and trying to grasp the depth and breadth of her life at Tlm'B Place; also to surmise, if possible, how serious a taint of evil Bhe had inherited. That her father was vile beyond compare seemed positive; that her mother might have been scarce better was probable. No mention, thus far, bad been made of her; and so Angie reflected upon this pitiful child's ancestry and what manner of heritage she had been blessed or "1 Never Had Nothln' Cussin'." But W o r k »n cursed with. Some of her attributes awoke Angle's admiration. She had shown utter abhorrence of this brutal sale of herself, a marvelous courage in endeavoring to escape it. She seemed grateful for what had been done for her, and a partial realization of her own unfitness for association with refined people. Her speech was 'no worse than might be expected from her life at Tim's Place. Doubtless, Bhe was unable to read or write. And so Angie lay, considering all the pros and cons of the situation and of this girl's life. There was also another side to it all, the humane one. They were on their way out of the wilderness, for a business visit to the nearest settlement, Intending to return to the woods in a few days—and what was to be done with this child of misfortune? Most assuredly they must protect her for the present. But was there anyone to whom she could be turned over and cared for? It seemed possible this brutal buyer of her would follow her out of the woods, to abduct her if found, and then the moral side of this episode with all its abominable possibilities occurred to Angie, who was, above all, unselfish and noblehearted. Vice, _-lme, and immorality were horrible toiler. Here was a self-evident duty thrusting itself upon her, and how to meet It with Justice to herself, her husband, and her own conscience, was a problem. Thus dwelling upon this complex situation, she fell asleep. The first faint light of morning was stealing into the tent when Angie felt her companion stir. She had, exhausted as she doubtless was, fallen asleep almost the moment she lay down; but now she was evidently awake-. Curious to note what she would do, Angie remained with closed eyes and motionless. Prom the corner of the teat where she had curled up the night beforerthe girt now cautiously crept toward the elder woman. Inch by teen, upon 4MB bed of boughs, she moved nearer, until Angle, watching WMfc aeifopeawi eyes, saw her head tosrared. mat Met two soft, warm lips It was no more than the act of a eat who rubs herself against her mtatres* or a dog who licks his master's hand, and yet it settled once for all that waifs fate *ad Aufiie's ixiuccjokifi. C H A P T E R i l l . Levi was starting a fire,.Ray washing poUioes, and Mai Uu, in bis shirtsleeves, using a towel vigorously near the canoes, when Angle and Chip emerged that morning; and now while breakfast is under way, a moment may be seised to explain who the people were and their mission In this wilderness. Many years before, in a distant village called Greenvale, two brothers, David and Amzl Curtis, had quarreled over an unfortunate division of inherited land. The outcome was that Amzi, somewhat misanthropic over the death of his wife, and of peculiar makeup, deserted his home and little daughter Angellne, and vanished. For many years no one knew of his whereabouts, and he was given up as dead. In the. meantime his child, cared for by a kindly woman known as Aunt Comfort, had grown to womanhood. About this time a boyhood sweetheart of Angeline's, named Martin Frlsbie, who had been gathering wealth in a distant city, invited a former schoolmate, now the village doctor in Greenvale, to join him on an outing trip into the wilderness. Here something of the history of a notorious outlaw named McGuire became known to Martin, and more important than that, a queer old hermit was discovered, dwelling in solitude tm the shore of a small lake. Who he was, and why this strange manner of life, Martin could not learn, and not until later, when he returned to Greenvale to woo his former sweetheart once more, did he even guess. Here, however, from a description furnished by a village nonedscrlpt,—a sort of Natty Bumpo and philosopher combined, known as Old Cy Walker, who had been Martin's youthful companion, —he was led to believe that the queer hermit and the long-missing Amzi were one and the same. Another trip into this wilderness with Old Cy, taken to identify the hermit, resulted in proving the correctness of the surmise. Then Martin set about making thi3 misanthropic recluse more comfortable in all ways possible; and then, leaving Old Cy to keep him company, he returned to Greenvale and Angie. A marriage was the outcome of his return to his native village, and then, with his nephew, Ray, and long-tried guide, Levi, as helpers on this unique wedding trip, the hermit was visited. It was hoped that meeting his child once more would result in inducing him to abandon his wildwood existence and to return to civilization; and it did—partially. He seemed happy to meet his daughter again, consented to return with them when ready, and after a couple of weeks' sojourn here, the canoes were packed and all set out for civilisation and Greenvale once more. But "home, sweet home," albeit it was, as in this case, a lonely log cabin in a vast wilderness, proved stronger than parental love or aught else; and sometime during first night's camp on the way out, this strange recluse stole away in his canoe and returned. "It's natur," Old Cy observed when morning came, "an' heme is the hardest spot in the world to ferglt. Amzi's lived in that old shack all 'lone for 20 years. He's got wonted to it like a dog to his kennel, an' all the powers o' the univarse can't break up the feelin'." It seemed an indisputable, if disappointing, fact, and Martin led his party back to the hermit's home once more. Another plan was now considered by Martin—to buy the township, or at least a large tract enclosing this lake, build a more commodious log cabin for the use of himself and his wife, and spend a portion of each summer there. There were several reasons other than those of affection for this decision. This lake, perhaps half a mile in diameter, teemed with trout. The low mountains enclosing it were thickly covered with fine spruce and fir, gTOves of pine with some beech and birch grew in the valleys; deer, moose and feathered game abounded here, and best of all, no vandal lumbermen ever encroached upon this region. It was, all considered, a veritable sportsman's paradise. Most likely a few thousand dollars would purchase it, and so, for these collective reasons, Martin decided to buy it. Old Cy was left to keep the hermit company; Martin, his wife, and Ray, with Levi, started for civilization to obtain needed supplies, and had been four days upon the way when this much-abused waif appeared on the scene. The party were journeying in two canoes, one manned by Ray, who had already learned to wield a paddle, which carried the tents and luggage; while the other was occupied by Martin, his wife, and Levi. The dnjy available seat for the new arrival was in Ray's canoe, jmd.%ken"orenkfast w disposed o start, ah The and of journey^ Uement ,and no oaoae for worry'appeared— but Levi felfeetfcerwue, "You'd beat'ftttg the futher *ko*e> he observed to Ray Quietly when the; Ujy jtiisfcqd off, "an* don't git out u sight & w." "I ain't sartln 'bout the outcome o' this matter," he said to Martin later. "I know that half-breed, Bolduc, and he's a bad 'un. From the gal's story he paid big money fer her. He don't know the meanln' o' law, and if he toilers down the tote road, as I callate be will, '&' ketches sight o' her, the first we'll know on't '11 be the crack o' a rifle. The wonder to me li he didn't ketch her 'fore she got to us He could track her faster'n she could run. I don't want to 'larm you folks, but I shan't feel easy till we're out o the woods." It wasn't reassuring. But no thought of this came to Ray. at least, and these two young people, yielding to the magic of the morning the rippled river that bore them on ward, the birds singing along the fir clad banks, and all the exhilaration ol the wilderness, soon reached the carefree converse of youthful friends. . "I never had nothin' but work "nr cusein'," Chip responded, when Hay asked if she never had any time ahe could call her own. "Tim thlnked 1 couldn't get tired, I guess. He'd roust me up fust of all 'n' larrup me' if he caught me shirkin'. Once I had a little posey bed back o' the pigpen. 1 fixed it after dark an' mornin's when I ketched the chance. He ketched me thar one mornin' a-weedin' it 'n* knocked me sprawlin' an' then stomped all over the posies. That night I went out into the woods 'n' begged the spites to git him killed somehow. 'Nother time I forgot to put up the bars, an' the cows got into the taters. That night he tied me to a stump cius to the bars, an' left me thar all night. I used to be more skeered o' my dad 'n I was o' Tim, tho'. He'd look at me like he hated me, an' say, 'Shut up,' if I said a word, an' I 'most believed he'd kill me, just fer nothin'. Once he said he'd take me out into .the woods at night 'n' bait a bear trap with me il he heerd I didn't mind Tim. I told Old Tomah that, an' he sid if he did, he'd shoot him; but Old Tomah wasn't round only winters. I hated dad so I'd 'a' shot him myself, I guess, if I cud 'a' got hold o' a gun when he wa'n't watchin'." "It's awful to have to feel that way toward your own father," interrupted Ray, "for he was your father." "I s'pose 'twas," admitted Chip, candidly, "but I never felt much different, I've seen him slap mother when Bhe was on her knees a-bawlin', and' the way he would cuss her was awful." "But you had some friendship from this old Indian," queried Ray, Who began to realize what a pitiful life the girl had led; "he was good to you( wasn't he?" "He waa, sartin," returned Chip, eagerly; "he used to tell me the spites 'ud fix dad 'fore long, so he'd never show up agin, 'n' when I got big 'nufj he'd sneak me off some night n' take, me to the settlement, whar I could arn a livin'. Old Tomah was the only one who cared a cuss fer me. I used to bawl when he went away every spring, an' beg him to take me 'long n' help him camp 'n' cook. I'd 'a' done 'most anything fer Old Tomah. I didn't mind wearin' clothes made out o' ol* duds 'n' bein' cussed fer not workln' hard 'nuff. What I did mind was not havin' nobody who cared whether I lived or died, or said a good word to me. Sometimes I got so lonesome, 1 used to go out in the woods nlghta when 'twas moonlight 'n' beg the spites to help me. I used to thlnU mother might be one on 'em 'n' she'd keer fer me. I think she was, an 'twas her as kept me goin' till I found you folks' camp. I got awful skeered them nights I was runnin' away, an' when 'twas so dark I couldn't see no more, an' heeri wildcats yowiin*. I'd pit on my knees 'n' beg mother to keep 'em away. I think she did, an' alius shall." (TO BE CONTINUED.) His High Estimation of Steam. Carlyle once startled the Englishspeaking people into recognition of the value of their great dramatist by suddenly asking the British public whieh it would rather lose, Shake speare or India? I thought of that the other day, muses the editor of the Ruder, when I was reading an article on steam navigation. What would the world rather lose than steam? What? Why, almost everything; our literature, our art, our religions. Nothing we have is so valuable as steam. It is the greatest civilizer the world has ever possessed. .**& Pen Economy.

Americans In Europe Seem to Have Gone Mad Over the Subject According to an Authority In London. Americans have gone tattoo mad. Such is the Inference to be drawn from a recent conversation with Alfred South, a famous English and continental tattoolst. According to the artist the rich have stolen the thunder of the poor. The practice of covering the body with elaborate designs, which was supposed to be the special weakness of the low-class sailor, has ascended the social ladder and is now the amusement of the aristocracy. Certain well-known Americans, if we are to relieve Mr. Smith, would present the appearance of animated picture galleries could we see.them In ihe nude. Their backs, cheBts, legs and arms are covered with crouching tigers, poised snakes and more or less beautiful women. The son of one ol the largest watch manufacturers is the United States, who is many times a millionaire, had a fac simile of his father's particular brand of timepiece tattooed on his chest by Mr. South. He had the hands showing the hour tc be exactly 12 and remarked that no matter where he was he could always refer to it at exactly that time of day and always correct his fallible timepiece. Many Americans have commissioned Mr. South to tattoo copies of pictures by their favorite artist on their shoulders, chests or backs. In this respect Charles Dana Gibson easily leads the field as the most popuiai American draughtsman- One Ameri can millionaire, a crack rifle shoT^a* premier horse owner, Is the proud possessor of a "Gibson Girl" on his left shoulder. It seems that many Americans have had their full names tattooed on their wrists and forearms. Mr. South says he has many American women as cus tomers. They are more seutimental than the sterner sex, according to the artist, and they run to names, or the private crests of their sweethearts. The work is usually done on the legs, but many of the fairer sex are having elaborate designs executed on their backs. In this as in other walks of life fair woman has lived up to her reputation for a chameleonlike state of mind, for the artist declares he has several times changed tke name of a sweetheart for women customers. The tattooing craze appears to be even more advanced in England and on the continent than in the United States. Here Is seems to have touched even the highest rung of the social ladder. The prince of Wales himself is said to have some most artistic work on his arm, while the crown princess of Denmark, Lady Cornwal- Ha West and members of the royal family of Russia are said to be devotees of the craze. Some of them are. even said to have become adept at thp art itself. Among society at the present time problems in bridge are especially popular as subjects for the tatoo artist. One woman recently had "her last will and testament" in four colors and many elaborations, tattooed on her back. Religious devotees have peculiar hobbies, and a particularly pious old lady recently had a likeness of her priest tattooed on her arm by Mr. South. Shanghai Fears the T r a m . An electric tramway service willprobably be started in Shanghai soon. A native paper has been urging the Chinese guilds to organize a boycott of the trams, and it declares that the dangers from the speed of the trams and live wires must cause Innumerable fatal accidents. ..if*;;.; •* A~> •'*.

Wit and humor are such elemental, fundamental things that it has always l>een found difficult to analyze them. I'pon some points, however, those who have essayed this puzzling task agree, for they all hold that wit Is an intellectual, humor nn emotional, quality; that wit Is n perception of resemblance and humor n perception of contract, of discrepancy, of incongni Ity. The Incongruity is that which arises between the Ideal and the fact, between theory nnd practice, between pronilae and performance, and perhaps It might be added that It Is nlways or H o w Prisoners Read. "It is rather pathetic," said a prison chaplain, "the way our inmates read their surreptitious newspapers. It is bad for the poor fellows' eyes too. "It is against the rule for them to read in their cells, and In the cell doors there are peepholes, to which the jailers come noiselessly, seeing that nil the rules are enforced.

Naturalists say that the feet of the common working bee exhibit the curious combination of a basket, a brush and a pair of pinchers. The brush, the hairs of which are arranged In symmetrica t rows, is seen only with a highgrade microscope. With this brush of fniry delicacy the bee brushes its velvet robe to remove the pollen dust with which it becomes loaded while sucklug up the nectar of flowers. Another delicate apparatus is the spoon shaped appendage that receives the gleanings that the bee wishes to carry to the hive. Finally, by opening the brush and tbe basket by means of a neat, little binge, the two become a pair of pinchers, which render important service in constructing the cells for the reception of the honey.

Hope Window gloried in the fact that she was a descendant of the Mayflower pilgrimB. The three-volume genealogy on the library shelf, which showed the effects of frequent uue, established the fact, as well as the letters and relics that, In the division and redlvision of household gods, bad fallen to her branch of the family. She proudly wore the badges of the Daughters of the American Revolution, of the Colonial Damea, and of the Mayflower Descendants, and sat in the councils of these orders. Her portrait had been painted in the fashien of the Puritan Hope Winslow, and «he had a colonial room fitted up in her home. "I think you are very provoking,"' uhe exclaimed, "and quite lacking in the right kind of pride. You know that your name waB originally Alden, and that you could establish your line through the original Alden family." "Or course," admitted the young man, good-naturedly; "but my father and grandfather were both John Elden, and their example is a good one for me to emulate in all things, since both ieft the world better for having lived in it." "But you miss my meaning," persisted Hope, tapping the floor with her foot, "it would really be adding honor to their memory to establish such ancestry through them." "How waa John Alden any better Qan Jo&n Elden?" queried the young ma© a trifle indignantly. "What does history have to say of him more important than the fact that he was so thick-headed that poor little Priacllla had to propose to him? I don't think that the little crippled ones down at the Elden Home would revere my father'B memory any more if I were to tell them that his ancestor came over in the Mayflower." Hope coquettishly fenced his indignation. "Yes; but, John -I wish you' would become eligible to attend the costume ball of our New England society, so that you might dance the minuet with me—and—oh! ever so many others!" "Thank you," said John, still grimly; "you know I love to dance with you, Hope; but I only wear knee trousers when I golf, and since I left the football team I have given up long hair. I might as well tell you now, Hope, that your New England society seems a make-believe to me, when almost all your members were born in the Mississippi valley, and all of them live here. Your duty is to be doing something to build up the west, rather than—" "That will do, Mr. Elden," glared Hope, rising to her feet. "Fortunately your opinion is a matter of indifference to me, so further enlargement upon the topic is unnecessary. And you will please excuse me now, as I have some committee work for the New England society this afternoon. ' "I've done it," soliloquized the young man dejectedly, as he strode down street. "Made a fool of myself as usual, and now Hope is angry clear through. This will mean that Thurby. with his Declaration of Independence record, will have a clear field. I wish the memory of the Puritan Fathers was in Halifax, or that I could keep my beastly temper!" And because of these circumstances the business of the North Star Milling company, the presidency and management of which had fallen by inheritance into John Elden's hands, received redoubled attention from him; while the forthcoming costume ball of the New England society became the apparent aim of Hope Winslow's existence. But. as she viewed herself in the. mirror on the night, of the hall, arrayed as a gray-gowned, white-capped Puritan maiden, she gave a little sigh tor the John Alden of her dream. Then she ran downstairs where her aunt, in the finery of a Martha Washington dame, was beaming upon Thurby, who, as a continental officer, was to act as their escort. The ballroom was thronged with a picturesque crowd—Puritan and cavalier, quaker and courtier, straight locks and perfumed curls, homespun and brocade flashed back and forth as iim Marched and swung and courteaied IjMa* old-ti»* measures. save continental officer had ex •ewed himself during the evening, and only returned in time to pot the two ladies into their carriage. He was breathless, rather dishevelled and minus his sword and cocked hat. The situation plainly demanded an explanation. "I cannot tell you hnw sorry 1 was to leave you, particularly without telling you the mason." ho began, "but 1 did not want to spoil your evening." *Has anything happened that concerns me?" queried Hope, leaning torward in alarm. .-• "Something that concerns one of your frienda," returned the young man. "Fire started in the North Star elevators this evening, and when I heard of it 1 hurried acrosB the city to see if I could help Elden—he and I were college chums, you know." Hope had partly risen from the seat opposite, aa she asked eagerly: "Oh, was it entirely destroyed ?" "Yes, Miss Winslow,' was the reluctant answer. "Not only two of the elevators, but the mill, as well as three cars of flour. The buildings were so close together that with the high wind it was impossible to aave anything but elevator No. 3, which was on the other side of the w,lnd. About 15,000 bushels of grain were destroyed, too, and while there was a large insurance, the loss is likely to cripple the company. I stayed with John until it was over, and I had persuaded him to go home—" "Take me to him at once!" interrupted Hope, imperiously. Then, as He rorgot his loss, forgot the black hours through which he had gone; a wonder seemed to fill him. "And you came to me! You are not angry, you forgive my rudeness?" "Why, John," she said, in sweet expostulation, "how could I think of anything but your trouble?" She stopped, and an agonized flush swept to her hair. A sense of all that was Implied by her. impulsive notion overwhelmed her. Only for a moment did her confusion last, for the young man before her seemed to recall suddenly all that his trouble ~ Involved, and dropped his head upon his arm with a groan. In a moment Hope was at his side. "You must not grieve," she said. "You are young, and have much ability, and can soon—" "And I am practically ruined," he groaned. "I must not talk to you, nor think of you, nor belong to your world any more. I must go to the bottom of the ladder, and must put all sweetness and joy behind me." "But indeed you must think of me," insisted Hope. "Now 1B when you need your frienda more than ever in your life, and we will stand by you." "But, Hope, you do not realize," he said, almost fiercely, "why I cannot, dare not think of you. I have had such thoughts, such longings—and now everything must be put behind me." Hope was kneeling beside him now, her hands on his arm, as she answered, between laughing and crying: "I verily believe, John, that you are a true descendant of John Alden. You called him thick-headed because poor little Priscilla had to propose to him, and you are every bit as bad!" But if John Elden was as slow to realize his possible happiness as the Puritan lover, he had the twentieth century quickness of comprehension, and in the second's flash before he gathered his Priscilla into his arms he weighed the night's loss against the night's gain, and the burden rolled from his heart, leaving joy to reign there, along with a zest for the tasks ahead of him. For Hope had come. THE CANADIAN CROPS THREE-QUARTERS OF THE AVERAGE YIELD 13 REPORTED. THE FARMERS DO NOT LOSE Heard the young man hesitated, and glanced at her aunt, she added pleadingly, "Please take me to him—you and Auntie~I am one of John's friends, too, and—oh, don't you see that I must go, just for a moment?" Thurby turned a searching glance upon her, received a gesture of assent from the colonial dame beside her, and then leaning forward, gave an order to the coachman. There was dejection as well as exhaustion in John Elden's attitude, as he sat deeply in his study chair, with one arm thrown limply across his desk. Smoke and grime marked his face and dress, and his eyes, looking darkly into the future, saw years of toil ahead of him. The weight of sudden and awful misfortune was heavy upon him. "What's the use of trying?" he was asking himself. "There's no one to care—no one to work for." The door from the hall opened softly, and a figure advanced to the lamplight's rim. He stared as one in a trance. Before him stood a demure and sweet^Priseilla, her gray-gowned figure thrown into relief against the dark red lining of her cloak—a lovely, white-capped Puritan maiden with changing color and shining eyes. For a moment longer he looked. "Hope! he whispered. "I just, heard about it, John," she said softly, "and I came right, to you, to tell you how sorry I am." Rebuked the King. An elderly gentleman with a slight limp was making his way along the platform at the Northern railway station at Paris, carrying a small satchel. There brushed hastily by him a young woman with much swishing of befrilled skirts, a thread of which caught in the clasp of the satchel. The young woman stopped, and the old gentleman attempted to free the caught thread without injuring the fabric, but this was a delicate operation, taking some time to accomplish. The young woman, impatient at the delay and addressing no one in particular— it might have been the bag or the skirt or the old gentlemar--ex claimed: "Stupid old thing!" "Quite so, madam," replied the traveller, with his most graci us smile. The elderly gentleman was the King of the Belgians. Husbands' Tributes to Wives. Few tributes of husbands have been more beautiful than Steele's dedication of one of his books: "How often lias your tenderness removed pain from my sick head, how often anguish from my affected heart? If there are such things as guardian angels, they are thus employed. I cannot believe one of them to be more good in inclination or more charming in form, than my wife." By its side, however, we may place Disraeli's dedication of "Sybil:" "I would Inscribe this work to one whose noble spirit and gentle nature ever prompt her to sympathize with the suffering; to one whose sweet voice has often encouraged, and' whose taste and judgment have ever its pages—the most severe of but. a perfect wife." guided critics, Tea Baths for Eyes. Few practices are more beneficial to the condition of the eyes than is that of bathing them regularly every night before going to bed. Dust readily accumulates on the lids between the lashes and makes them smart, an excellent method of cleaning them being the old-fashioned one of dabbing the lids with a piece of cotton wool dipped in cold weak tea.

Moat of the states of the union felt the unusually severe winter of 1906-7, and the effects of the succeeding late spring were everywhere apparent Corn was planted two and sometimes three times, the winter wheat suffered and generally there was a nervous feeling as the retarded growth was in evidence. From the Dakotas to Texas the feeling of dread existed, and the fears were entertained that the crop of corn, wheat, oata and barley would be a distinct failure.

This interest was a nervous one and caused considerable indecision on the part of friends and others intending to follow. Those interested in Injuring the country circulated stories of ruin and disaster, but the effect was lost, as it had been long enough in the limelight to prove its high standing amongst the agricultural sections of the continent. The heavy strain placed upon it was not too great; it has shown that the faith placed in it has been warranted, and The above is the reproduction of 'a •photograph of the home of a recent settler from Germany, who has been settled in Saskatchewan, western Canada, for two years. it is this year producing undoubted evidence that In agricultural possibilities and resources it stands among the first, of food producers. A late spring delayed seeding from the usual early April period until late in May, and In many cases well on into June. And with what result? it is a little early to tell the result, but that there will be a three-quarter crop Is almost absolutely certain. The yield of wheat In 1906 was 95,000,000 bushels; 1$07 it will be between 70,000,000 and *#,•«,- 000. It could not be expected' tlmt June-sown grain would maturd . gftel ripen in any country.

These figures do not take account of the lower grades, of which there were 131 cars. More than onethird of these contained milling wheat, which would remunerate the farmer at the rate of 93c per buBhel on the basis of to-day's closing figures. The balance consisted of low grade stuff which would show great "Hpreads" in prices. "The approximate value of the two days' receipts of wheat, however,, would be more than $400,000 calculating the capacity of a car at 1,000 bushels and'eliminating the cost of freight and handling. As many of the modern cars contain more than 1.000 bushels and a s the freight rate to l<"ort William is less than 15c per ewt. on most of the wheat which Is now coming forward, the estimate of $400,000 is low. The circulation of SJM,- 000 per day among the farmers will not continue for the whole year, of course, hut that figure is likely to bo exceeded before the present rush of wheat to the market abates. The conversion «f~ ttm crop into money may bo said to-' be proceeding in a most satisfactory way and there is no doubt that millions of dollars will have gone into the pockets of the farmers by the time navigation on the hikes closes. Even then only a small proportion of the wheat will have come out. Experience has shown that the railways do not carry very much of the wheat to the l,ake Superior ports before the freeze-up comes, and the proportion will probably be smaller than usual this year on account of the lateness of the thrashing season. "On the whole the prospect is a most cheerful one, the likelihood being that the satisfactory returns for the past few days will be greatly exceeded in the coming six or seven weeks. The fact that wheat of any kind is bound to bring a remunerative price this season Is the comforting feature of the situation and there is no occasion for concern over the possibility of the general quality of the {Train being below that of previous years. The high standard of the wheat raised in the west in 1905-1906 was undoubtedly a great advertisement for the country and it would have been well If that excellent record could have been continued, but it Is not reasonable to expect that 90 per cent, of the wheat will be of contract grade every year aa it was in the years mentioned. If 76 per cent. or. even 60 per cent, of this season's yield be up to the contract standard there will be room for congratulation. The west will reap a large return of its Investment of money, time and labor this year as it did in any preceding season, and by BO do* ing it will have done its whole duty to thoae who have placed faith In Its fertll- * ity and resourcefulness.

And They Will Ride Backward, Reports a Traveler of Englishmen. Travelers returning from England tell of two habits of the people of that country which impressed them. One is the average Englishman's aversion to shutting the door behind him. "I don't know how it is in the English houses," remarked one who returned recently from abroad, "for 1 was not in one of them, but 1 stayed in a hotel in London where there were a good many English people, and a dozen times daily i had to get up and shut a door to keep ihe draught away. "It didn't make any difference whether it was a servant or a guest who went through, the door was left open, This was in the spring of the year, too, when the weather was chil ly. 1 'noticed the same thing in rail way coaches and hotels of smaller towns." The other English peculiarity is a preference for riding backward on trains. The Englishman will make for the seat with its back to the engine every time, plant himself down in it with every evidence of comfort and look wonderingly at anybody who picks out a seat facing the direction the train is going. Not once did one American traveling in England see a native choose a seat facing the front of the train unless there were no other seats. Cruelty.

An English clergyman confesses in the London Tribune that once, relying on his hearers' fund of humor, he made a joke at a public meeting, and was sorry for it very soon afterward.

What ripens fast does not last.—- Shakespeare, GIRLHOOD TO WOMANHOOD Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound E L L E N M. O L S O N The responsibility for a daughter's future largely rests with the mother. The right influence and the information which is of vital interest to the daughter imparted at the proper time has not only saved the life but insured the success of many a beautiful girl. When a girl's thoughts become sluggish, with headache, dizziness or a disposition to sleep, pains in back or lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude; when she is a mystery to herself and friends, her m o t h e r should come to her aid, and remember that Lydla B . Plnkheun's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, will at this time prepare the system for the coming change, and start this trying period in a young girl's life without pain or irregularities. It has been thus depended upon for two generations Hundreds of letters from young girls and their mothers, expressing gratitude for what Lydia £. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound haa done for them, are constantly being received.

Any one desiring to know further details may write to me and I shall be glad to give them, >' If you know of any yonng girl w h o is sick and needs motherly advice, ask her to address Mrs Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass , and tell her every detail of her symptoms, and to keep nothing back. She will receive advice absolutely free, from a source that has no rival in the experience of woman's ills, and it will, if followed, put her on the right road to a strong, healthy and happy womanhood.

The examination will commence at o o'clock Wednesday morning, Nov. 13. Last Friday morning the large farm residence of i l r . Thomas Howlett, near Gregory, caught tire in the garrett over the kitchen and burned to the ground. The neighbors were call ed by telephone and responded, thus about, one half of the household effects were saved. The los* is estimated at $2000, insured for $1000. Mr. Howlett is making plans to rebnild in the coming spring. The committee that have charge ot raising funds for and seeing that the cemetery at this place was cleaned for the past three or four years are having some much needed work done now and it is a good plan to have it done in the fall as then everything is ready for t^ie spring growth. H o w - ever the committee informs that there is only about $7 or $8 lett in the fund and any who desire work done should see to it and hand in their contribution at once. Certainly everyone should take pride^n helping keep the cemetery in good order Irish 8arca«m. A happy and humorous example of sarcasm as apart from repartee is afforded by the following anecdote. 1 quote It on the authority of n friend, who, I nm afraid, was the villain of the Incident: A most imperturbable man was followed from Westmoreland street, Dublin, over the O'Connell bridge to the general postotlice by two little street nrabs, who Importuned him for the end of bis cigar. "Throw us the butt, sir! Ah. sir, throw us the butt!" cried the youths, but as the man did not betray the slightest consciousness of their existence they gave him up at last in despair and disgust "Arrah, let him alone." said one, with the most scorching scorn. "Shure, it's a butt he's picked up himself." I once heard a bumptious little man, who, acting as steward at athletic sports in Dublin, was very assertive In keeping back the crowd, thus addressed by an angry spectator: "If the consate was taken out of yez, ye'd be no bigger than a green gooseberry, and ye're as sour as wan already!"— London Standard.

A man who was summoned for beating his wife tried hard to put all the blame upon his mother-in-law and was chided by the bench for his lack of gallantry. "Why should it always be the fashion for a man to malign his motherin- law?" the magistrate remarked. "Is chivalry quite dead among us? I knew a mau once who never spoke an unkind word to his mother-in-law, never blamed her in the least for his quarrels with his wife and never had the bad taste to complain about her to other people." The wife beater stared open mouthed as he listened to the recital of the domestic paragon's virtues. Then he said: "Oh, yes, I've heard of that fellow lie fore. Ills name was Adam!"— Loudon Globe. The Coach and Four Cam*. Among the many records of Harrow school is that of a boy, the son of a poor local tradesman In a very smalt way of business. His schoolfellows often taunted him nbout his family poverty. Their thoughtless Jeers, although hurting his feellugs, drew from the lad the retort, "I Intend before I die to ride in a coach and four." The years sped by, and. lo and behold, the poverty stricken youngster of H a r r o w had developed into Dr. Parr, the greatest scholar of his time, whose customary and favorite means of locomotion was a coach and four!—LomJpa Mall.

Being human, happily or unhappily, we cannot deny the comfort to be found In the reflection that misery never lacks the company it loves. We all have our troubles, and some of us derive much satisfaction from the contemplation of them. Indeed, there are those who are happy only when wretched, but these we believe to be as few In number as they are disagreeable in association. The vast majority of humans are normal and disposed," therefore, In conformity with natural law, to smile when the skies are clear and to grieve under the portent of clouds; hence the ease with which worry takes possession of the mind, colors the disposition and makes a cripple of effort That causes abound we know and must admit, as we do almost unconsciously the certainty of death, but too little cognizance is taken of the fact that the effect of mere apprehension, which is all that worry really ia, may be Butyected to simple mental treatment and be overcome.—George Harvey in Xorth American Review. Bee Comb. Bee comb or beeswax, the material of which the honey cells In the beehive are composed, Is a wax produced by a system of chemistry carried on in the "wax pockets" which are located in the abdomen of all working bees. It is a peculiar substance and is said to b e ' J analogous to the fats of higher animals. Originally It was supposed that this wax was taken up in an almost pure state from the flowers by the bees, but experiments carried on by the leading botanists and chemists of the world conclusively prove that the bee is capable of elaborating his peculiar wax, although confined to a diet purely saccharin in its nature.

The entertainment was in charge of iJiss Florence Sproat, the Vice President of the social department astsibted by the President of the League, Glenn Gardner. They proyed themselves to be masters of the situation and to tbeir zeal and hustle the success of the affair may be attributed. One of the excellent features of the evening was an oyster supper and everyone present had all they could eat and still there was plenty let>. Coffee and doughnuts were also served. One of the good things about it was that there was no charge made as the expense was born by the League dues. The only way you can help pay such bills is so join and pay your five cents per monUa.

Upper Penintula Situation Shows a Reach Out for a L a r g e r Share of the Plums. Michigan Sugar. Carman N. Smith, manager of the Owosso Sugar Co. and president of the Michigan Sugar Manufacturers' association, says: "If people in Michigan fully understood the importance of tne beet sugar industry to the state and the peril in which it i« beiug placed by the proposed Philippine tariff they would be a unit in demanding that the legislation under consideration be shelved immediately and indellnitely. The trouble is that people don't understand huw great this industry baa grown to be, and huw much is involved in the proposed tariff changes," he continued. "We have in this state now, sixteen factories with a capacity of slicing 10,000 tons uf beets a day. There are three in Hay City, one each in Saginaw, Caro, Croswell. Sebewaing, St. Louis, Alma, Owusso, Lansing, Blissfleld, Holland, Mt. Clemens, Menominee and Charlevoix. "These factories represent an actual investment of $10,000,000. l^ast year they paid to farmers $4,750,000 and their output in sugar was valued at $8,750,000. There are 30,000 farmers in the state who raise sugar beets. "So much for the. state. In the whole country the value of the beet sugar product in 1906 was $30,500,000. The farmers got $20,000,000 of this for their product and there is invested in 64 factories $00,000,000^ "This entire great industry inevitably will be wiped out if the Philippine tariff bill becomes law. "More than that: This great business was built up because of the direct promises of protection by the United States government and that government today is seeking to destroy it for the sake of mere sentimentalism." A Political View. It is said that the announcement of Governor Warner's intention to become a candidate fer re-election next year was received with great satisfaction in nearly all parts of the upper peninsula. The majority of the newspapers are with the governor in his fight against the boxers and will support his candidacy. In case of the governor's re-election he will also find his friends of the opposition ranks in line. There is not the slightest question of the return of Senators Morjarty and Charles Smith to the next senate, if these gentlemen so desire. The governor cannot reach them; they will be nominated under the convention system and their districts are overwhelmingly Republican. The eastern part of the upper peninsula, however, will send a senator who will Indorse any sane reform policy of the administration. Senator O. B. Fuller has the full indorsement of the upper peninsula press in his candidacy for auditorgeneral. The impression is general that for the many years of faithful support of the Republican ticket, the upper peninsula is now entitled to more than a mere figurehead as the lieutenant-governor's position is considered, but to something worth while and to all appearances the position of auditor-general is considered the right one. Bees Locate in Detroit. Headquarters of the supreme tent, Knights of Maccabees of the World, one of the largest fraternal insurance organizations in the United States will be located in Detroit after Jan nary 1 next. The committee of officers to whom was delegated, at the last triennial session of the body, the task of choosing a location in Detroit for the Maccahee temple, have purchased a fine stone residence, capable of extension to provide all the room necessary. The building and grounds are assessed for about $45,000, considerably less than the market value, and while the price paid is secret it is understood the consideration was in the neighborhood of $50,000. The grounds front 129 feet on Woodward avenue by 200 on Putnam avenue.

Our banks are maintaining a high reserve and can meet every legitimate need.

Samuel Smith, 75, pioneer ffcnMV of Dewitt township, dronped E M SESSION OF F I N A N C I E R U R a * IT TO AID BUSINESS OP THE COUNTRY SPBEOIUY, CURRENCY LAW WANTED. The Early Pa sea go of a Corporation Control Bill Is Doomed Advisable and no Opposition to Bo Made. It is reported from undoubted sources that President Roosevelt is now being urged to call an extra session of congress to deal with the financial situation. The request comes from and represents the Judgment of the conservative leaders in the financial world, who have represented the present situation as one compelling action of a character which will affirmatively eradicate all ground for saspiciuu of American industrial methodvS. The president has been assured from most reliable sources that there will be no opposition on the part of the great industries of the country to the enactment ft the necessary laws to curry out his ideas of federal control to the extent to which he expounded them in his recent public utterances. These assurances are made at this time to avert what has been represented as the most dangerous situation which has confronted the country during an extended historic period—that is, the seeming growing lack of confidence based on known irregularities in business methods in some quarters, and no sure and speedy means of separating the good from the unsound. To thiB end, it is suggested that the president set congress to the task first, of making such amendments to the financial laws as will result in the maximum of flexibility, and perhaps most in importance, that the president embody his suggestions on corporation control into succinct recommendations for enactment into law. In this connection the president's attention has been directed to what he said at Provincetown, Mass., August 20 last: "I believe in a national Incorporation law for corporations engaged In interstate business. I believe, furthermore, that the need for action is most pressing as regards those corporations which, because they are common carriers, exercise a qua&i-public function, and which can be completely controlled, in all respects by the federal government, by the exercise of the power conferred under the interstate commerce clause, and, if necessary, under the post road clause of the constitution. • * * * * The national government should exercise over them a similar supervision and control to that which it exercises over national banks. We c?n do this only by proceeding farther along the lines marked out by the recent national legislation." To meet his views, the president then suggested amendments to the Sherman anti-trust law, and the ad dition of a criminal clause to that and the interstate commerce regulations. The benefit of having federal legal machinery to detect, and eradicate unwholesome business methods at this time was said to be the desirable end to be accomplished. This would mean, it is pointed out, a practical wiping off of the slate and a starting afresh under business conditions which would have and which could bear the closest of public scrutiny. That the president, has given the request for an extra session careful consideration- is indicated by those who have been asked to lend their advice in the matter. That the information as to existing conditions is not alarming has been the continuing assurance. With this in view, the president has been told that the call for an extra session of congress might have the reverse effect from that desired by those who are urging such action; that it would tend to emphasize in the public mind an apprehension of unfavorable conditlo»s which do not esist. Failing in obtaining an extra session, those who have made the appeal for it have presented an alternative or an additional request that the president make a public statement of the assurance he feels in the sound condition of public credit. This, too, has met with a measure of opposition from the administration's advisers. Both suggestions are still matters of consideration, although no Information whatever is obtainable regarding either directly from the White House. CALAMITY, m\im*T**** T*e* Wm j u p i r t r - f OUtraea. , - * < T h e " executive oonrmlttee p i tip Amalgamated S o c i e t y of Railway 8eft v a s t s Pftdar adopted a resolution. * call a general strike. T h e resolution, says: "The conference of representatives of the raflwty men of England, Ireland* Scotland *ad Wales, realising the grave responsibility involved in t h e declaration of a national railway strike, regrets t i u t the arbitrary refusal of t h e raiiwajr companies to meet the accredited representatives of the men, even t o uia* cuss a settlement by friendly regotlatlons, leaves no other course open but to carry out the mandate of our members, as disclosed in tbe result of theballot, and we therefore reoommand that the executive committee issue notice to the papers and to the wholerailway service." The British railway employes a n d the companies have been at loggerheads for some time on the question of the cecognition of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants and ihe granting of a new scale of wages and hourB. Finally it was decided by the employee to reach a decision by "ballot of all the members. The council of the railway companies' association, lu its reply to ihe men, pointed out that it had no power to appoint representatives to meet ihe delegates of the unions, as proposed, and discuss questions which affected the relations between individual companies and their employes. The seriousness of a railway tie-up in the United Kingdom is difficult to overestimate. It not only will paralyze the Industries, but soon will starve out the Inhabitants of all the interior cities of England, where t h e r e are only a few days' food supplies on hand. Richard Bell, M. P., leader of the strike, said: "The resolution means all t h a t it says. Not only the members of ihe society, but every man engaged in :he railway service In the United Kingdom will get notice. We took the opinion of our members, and knowing that, and knowing also that thousands of men outside the society are in sympathy with us, we resolved to call on every man to come out." Mr. Bell, in a recent address to a large body of railway men at Cardiff, said that a strike would be a terrible calamity and that the society intended to exhaust every means to reach a peaceful solution. The strike will involve 100,000 men. Fully 80,000 of them voted in favor of it. T h e railway managers say that a great many men will remain loyal t o them, and failed to respond to effort* made by Mr. Lloyd-George, president of the board of trade, to avert a strike.

"*' iC^"'*'' :9 * * * * * * * * When Mr. Ferris Archer was ush. «re4 Vy an obsequious butler Into the luxurious library of Judge Van Nostrami. cn a certain cold evening lato ia NoFwatJer, and sank Into a comfortable eawchair before a bright fire of soft coal, it was with a feeling of complete and entire satisfaction. He had, in short, for months been living in a sort of Fool's Paradise, and he was at this moment awaiting the coming of the woman he loved. A bold and skillful painter of brilliant landscapes Archer was, and, with hosts of friends among the loveliest and most brilliant women in the town, he chose to lay the tribute of his love at the feet of the quietest and least dazzling of them all. Helen Van Nostrand waa not "a man's woman;" Bhe had many friends, but they were chiefly among those of her own sex; and in spite of her wealth and position and the charming and gracious hospitality which she -dispensed as head of her fathers household (for her mother had died when she was a very young girl), in spite also of a certain qnlet charm of manner which even birth and breeding do not always bestow, Miss Van Noetrand had the reputation of being rather cold and reserved, and there were even these who rather feared to meet the severe directness of her honest gray eyes. Yet there were others, and Archer was one of these, who knew that under the rather cold exterior there beat a warm, impulsive, woman's heart Absolutely free from coquetry, MIBS Van Nostrand had never betrayed for Archer the slightest feeling beyond the frankest confidence and good will; they were the best of friends, which was just what rendered the situation most hopeless. Moreover, Archer was proud. Far too proud to ask the daughter of Judge Van Nostrand to cast in her lot with a vagabond artist like himself. ~Xnd~sd'he drifted on, trying to be content with the half sovereignty of a kingdom upon whose throne he could never hope to sit; and at least his secret was hts own. Ho was kept waiting for her coming rather longer than usual on this particular evening, and he had fallen into a reverie from which he was aroused by a little ripple of a laugh which made him spring to his feet. It was good to hear Helen Van Nostraud's laugh. "Ah!" she said; "I was wording an apology for keeping you waiting while I was flnishiug (he copying of father's speech for the great meeting to-morrow night—and here I come upon you so absorbed in thoughts of somebody else that you do not even hear me outer the room." She was tall for a woman, yet she was obliged to throw back her head a . little to reach the higher level of his •fCs. She dropped hnr own presently, blushing a little at the expression in his, which had in it something more than his usual attentiveness, and she gently disengaged the hand which he fcsA held 'while she was speaking. **WHh the other hand she lightly tMf hed a bunch of double violets, tho 4»1? spot of color about her dress of soft gray. "You see," she said, "I have your violets, and you must prepared for a little lecture on travagance; flowers are not to be had at this season Just for the plucking, nor should my selfish passion for them be indulged in so often." "But," said Archer, smiling as he drew up a chafr for her beside his own, "what if I could prove, thai aside from the quite immeasurable pleasure which I receive In sending you the flowers, you are also indirect ly helping somebody who could per haps be helped in no other way?" Hate* raised questioning eyes. "I ft*r T 4 * not understand," she said, fcer head. "If you mean the 4»r the person who grows tbe valets—" ""Right as usual," cried Archer; "but how did you guess the secret of my pretty flower maiden?" Another question in the gray eyes. "I have waa4*tl to tell you about her before," 'went on, and he paused a mo- •ittnd smiled thoughtfully, as he were conjuring up a pleas- Ion, Helen thought. "You see. he went on, "I have always known your fondness for violets, and 1 always procured those I you at one particular place. One a few months ago, X went in and d the proprietor (a very good of a fellow/by the way) talking j to a pretty young woman, whom 11 recognlted at once as the daughter of I an e l d friend of my father's whom I • had not seen tor years; the remem-, fcerfflas, strangely 9&*ttg%. t a d i t (Copyright.) p walked home with her, talking over all that had happened since we parted. Hers was a sad story, poor child; her father had embezzled and then died, leaving his wife (a chronic Invalid) and hie young daughter to struggle on as best they could. They bad a small house, the only thing left from the wreck, with a large, old fashioned garden in tbe rear. I remember as a boy how fond Amy was of digging and planting there; she could always make anything grow, and it occurred to her that she might raise flowers for the market. She had arranged with Mather & Grau, it seems, to send all her violets to them, and they send them directly to you; she does not suspect me, of course, and so you see we are really rendering her the assistance which she so much needs, without in any way wounding her pride." Helen had been watching Archer attentively as he talked, biting off T*o gf*C*e¥w o?£f££| grower of Ytolsts. i At he reentered the room, b e stood for a moment in the doorway waiting for Helen to turn Her head, and thinking to surprise her as she had done earner in the evening. And* then Miss Van Nostrand did a strange thing; she was standing where he had left her before tbe mantel, and presently she unpinned the violets from her drees, held them for a moment in her hand a s though irresolute, and then, stooping, she laid the flowers deliberately on the glowing coals. And then she turned and saw .Archer watching her in astonished silence; with a little cry she instinctively clasped her hands ever the place where the flowers had been fastened on her dress. A great wave of color had swept all over her face, but Archer was very pale as his quick glance traveled from tbe little clasped hands to the flowers smouldering in the fire. Presently be came close to her and tried to read her eyes, veiled beneath impenetrable lids. "Helen," he said hoarsely, "you do not care for the violets—is it—because I sent them that you scorn them thus?" And then, as she did not reply, he went on, "I knew you did not care, for me," he said, "but oh, Helen! it 1B cruel to learn it In this wayf" She could not endure the agonized entreaty of his voice, and she raised her eyes, full of a penitence, whose full meaning he did not dare to understand. "Oh, Ferris," she faltered. "Can you not see? I thought you loved her— your flower girl—and so—" But she did not finish her sentence. Archer had seized both her hands and was laughing in a perfect delirium of Joy. "You thought I loved Amy!" he cried. "Oh, Helen, hew could you be so blind! And besides, I forgot to tell you she is going to be married to Mr. Grau, the rich florist, in the spring. But, Helen!"—he had drawn her so close that he could whisper the words in her ear—"she shall force her choicest violets to bloom for our wed ding, shall she not?" And Helen threw back her head with a happ/ little laugh. "Violets are the only flowers I shall ever wear " she said. * , - jnay<ifffc.ttfffi pft m\ " C e r t a i n l y I W i l l Ge and See Your Friend," She Said. little pieces from a violet with her white teeth. "Is she pretty?" she asked suddenly. "Yes, and more than that," said Archer. "She has tho most unusual and delicate coloring, and a pretty trick of drooping her head, which always reminds me of a flower." "I should like to see this dainty beauty," said Helen, but somehow her voice iacked its usual cordiality. Archer did not notice it. "Would you, really?" he said eagerly. "Do you mean that you would go and see the poor little tiling? She has no friends, you know; U\:\t is, no women-friends, and ever since I have discovered how sad and lonely her life is I have wished that the could know you." Helen paused a nwiju.mt. 1; lore replying. "Certainly I wul go and S'-e your friend," she said, speaking in spite of hcrxelf a little coldly. "I do not quite B E R L I N H A S PRIZE GARAGE. Tanks in Building Can Hold 12,000 ^ Gallons of Benzine. Berlin.—The * biggest automobile garage in the world will be the one to be established by the Berlin Omnibus company, which will have tanks holding the unprecedented quantity of 12,000 gallons of benzine. To safeguard the building against explosions, the benzine will be stored on the Martin Huneke system, which has prevented an explosion of 24,000 gallons In a fire which destroyed a hvige Ilerlin storage building. The benzine will be kept in two underground tanks, upon which will be a strong pressure of carbonic acid gas to prevent the formation of explosive gases, and the carbonic acid gas will provide fhe power for pumping the benzine up to taps.

"Oh, no! not that," said Archer ! quickly. "But you see I have told her about you, so that you would not be quite strangers, and your interest, your sympathy would do for her"— ho would have added, "what they have done for me," but something in her o e j manner made him pause, and then e x I they drifted on to talk of other things, but there was a subtle change in her manner which Archer's quick sensitiveness did not fail to note, and much earlier than usual be rose to go.

Fort Worth, Tex.—Another kink has been found in the anti-pass legislation. With death a man ceases to be a railroad employe, and fare must be paid for the transportation of his body. Aplication was made to the Trinity & Brazos Valley line for transportation for the body of a former employe of the Cotton Belt. Investigation shows that under the Tartlllot O h o ^ y ^ ^ c l ^ f l l f r ; Tbja ghost story i s contributed by a do^reipoj»dent of an English magazime: "Wjcollar hall, near Colne, was long the scat of the Cunliffes, of BjHJogton. They were noted persona in their time, but evil days came, and their ancestral estates passed out of their hands. In the days of the commonwealth their loyflty cost them d«far;. and ultimately they retired to Wycollar with a. remnant only of their once extensive property. About 1819 the last of the family pasBed away, and the hall is now a mass of ruins. Little but the antique fireplace remains entire, and even the room alluded to in the following legend cannot be Identified. Tradition sayB that once every year a specter horseman visits Wycollar hall. He is attired in the costume of the early Stuart period, and the trappings of his horse are of a most uncouth description. "On tbe evening of his visit the weather is always wild and tempestuous. There Is no moon to light the lonely roads, and the residents of the district do not venture out of their cottages. When the wind howls loud- ,e8t the horseman can be heard dash* %ig up the road at full speed, and, after crossing the narrow bridge, he suddenly stops at the door of the hall. The rider then dismounts and makes his way up the broad oaken stairs into one of the rooms of the house. Dreadful screams, as from a woman, are then heard, which soon subside into groans. The horseman then makes hlB appearanoe at the door, at once mounts his steed, and gallops off by the road he came. "His body can be seen through by those who may chance to be present; his horse appears to be wild with rage, and its nostrils stream with fire. The tradition is that one of the Cunliffes murdered bis wife in that room, and that the specter horseman is the ghost of the murderer, who Is doomed to pay an annual visit to the home of his victim. She is said to have predicted the extinction of the family, which, according to the story, has been literally fulfilled." ft.' <•' F Cures "Sleeping Sickness." Prof. Koch, the great German medical authority, who has been in Africa about 18 months, inquiring into the causes and cure of that strange and widely prevalent malady, the sleeping sickness, has become famous throughout a large portion of the dark continent. He has treated and cured hundreds of black men afflicted with the dread disease mentioned, and has, therefore, been given the title of "Great White Wizard." He is continually receiving appeals from all parts of central Africa to come* to the rescue of sick and dying persons. The professor's treatment consists of an injection of atoxyl, and the results of this have usually been favorable. Electrical Plant. A plant has been discovered in Nicaragua which appears to be charged with electricity. If one of its branches is touched with the naked hand, a distinct shock similar to that produced by a battery is felt. Its influence upon a magnetic needle is noticeable at half a dozen yards, and as one gets nearer the plant this influence increases. If the instrument is placed in the center of the bush it will assume a circular movement. The intensity of the influence manifested seems to depend upon the time of day. A Cold Nose. A lady who owns a dog, and incidentally a little girl, heard a commotion in the adjoining room. Upon investigating she discovered that the commotion came largely from the dog. "You naughty child." she said, "are you trying to burn Fido, that you hold his head so near the grate?'- "No, mamma," replied the little girl; "I'm only trying to warm his nose." a i _ VERA CRUZ, MEXICO View shewing pulses antf ships at snohsr In the Philosophical, Indeed.

" A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum. We usually consider cur best friends those who treat us best. Some persons think coffee a real friend, but watch it carefully awhile and observe that it is one of the meanest of all enemies for it stabs one while professing friendship. Coffee contains a poisonous drug— caffeine—which injures the delica^ nervous system and frequently sets up disease in one or more organs of the body, if its use is persisted in. "I had heart palpitation and nervousness for four years and t h e doctor told me the trouble was caused by coffee. He advised me to leave it off, but I thought I could not," writes a Wis. lady. . "On the advice of a friend I fried Postum Food Coffee and It so satisfied me that T did not care for coffee after a few days' trial of Postum. "As weeks went by and I continued to use Postum my weight increased from 98 to 118 pounds, and the heart trouble left me, I have used it a year now, and am stronger than I ever was. I can hustle up stairs without any heart palpitation, and I am cured of nervousness. "My children are very fond of Postum and it agrees with them. My slater liked it when she drank it at my house, but not when she made it at her own home. Now she has learned to make it right, boil it according to directions, and has become very fond of it.

This practice prevents the teeth decaying and of course keeps tliam In excellent condition. Just as one might pick a wild flower in the country so the Somali native picks his toothbrush. They are never without their small twigs. Toothbrushes as we know them are untttmwu in Somaliland.

Fluctuation In the height of the water caused either by extraordinary rainfalls or freshets would not enlarge the right nor would fluctuation caused by umienal drouths diminish the right. Allen vs Thoruappte Electric Co., 144 Mich., 370; Johnson vsBoorman, f>3 Win., 2»>8. The defendant failed to show by a pre ponderance of the evidence that he was not flowing complainant's land to a greater extent than it had previously been flowed each year for lo consecutive years with the ordinary seasons, and the complainant iu our opinion, did prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that Ids lands were flowed throughout the year to a greater extent than they ever had been during the ordinary seasons and that the water has been raised twenty inches above its usual height. In view of the limited extent of the injury and the number affected who have right to complain, its character, the comparative values of the properties and other considerations presented by the record, we agree with the Circuit Judge that a decree for such damages as complainant has aud will iu the future suffer iu consequence of defendant's acts would be more appropriate to this case than a decree to lower the dam or permanately remove rhsh-boards, We also agree that complainants damages were considerably over estimated by him, both in his bill of complaint and in his testimony, and that there is no satisfactory basis in this record for determining the amount of such damages. Under the circumstances, we think it best to remand the record to the Circuit Court for the taking of further testimony na to complainant's permanent damages, unless defendant prefers to reduce the ponding capacity of the dam, by removal of flash boards, twenty inches in which event complainants damages will be the rental value of the lands wrongfully overflowed and injured by such overflow for the period defendant has overflowed them, and a decree will be entered in the Circuit Court as tiie case may then appear." From th« foregoing opinion of the Court I think it clearly appears that the Court expected that Mr. Reason's damage to his land by thrt excessive flow i ay would he assessed by tee Court in said cause and paid and that thu por.d would not be lowered.

Justice Ball, au Irish judge, was noted for his amusing manifestations of ignorance, W t whether they were real or pretended has never beeu clearly established. He tried a case in which a mau was Indicted for robbery at the house of a poor widow. The first witness was the young daughter of the widow, who ldeutitled the prisoner as the man who had entered the house and smashed her mother's chest. "Do you say that the prisoner at the bar broke your mother's chest?" said the judge iu astonishment. "He did, my lord," answered the girl. "He jumped on it till he smashed it entirely." The judge turned to the crown counsel and said: "How is this? Why Is not the prisoner indicted for murder? If he smashed this poor woman's chest in the way the witness has described, he must surely have killed her." "But, my lord," said the counsel, "It was a wooden chest."—Cornhlll Magazine.

Chip MeGuire, a 16-year-old girl living at Tim'8 place in the Maine wooda is Sid by her father to Peto Bolduc, a Jf-breed. She runs away and reaches the camp of Martin Friable, occupied by Martin, Ala wife, nephew, Raymond Stetson, and guides. She telle her story and Is cared for by Mrs. Prisbie. Journey of Friable'sjparty into woods to visit father of Mrs. Friable, an old hermit, who has resided in the wilderness for many years. When camp Is broken Chip and Hay occupy same canoe. C H A P T E R 111.—-Continued. A more serious subject was under 'discussion in the other canoe, meantime, as to the future disposition of Chip herself. "I feel it my duty to take care of fcer," Angle said, after relating her conversation with Chip and that morning's incident. "She is a homeless, outcast waif, needing education and everything else to Christianize her. We must bring her to the settlement, "but to turn her adrift might mean leaving her to a life of vice, even if she ^escapes her brutal father and this worse half-breed. Then, again, I am not sure that her parentage will bear inspection. She has told me something about her earlier life, and about her mother, who evidently loved her. One course only seems plain to me,— to take care of and educate this unfortunate." "We must take the girl back with us and begin her reformation at the camp. If she shows any aptitude and willingness to obey, wo will take her to Greenvale. If not, you must arrange to get her into some institution." "And suppose the half-breed finds where she is, what then?" inquired Martin. "What, do you stiy, Levi?" ho added, turning to his guide, "you know this fellow; what will he be apt to do?" "I s'pose you know what, a panther'il do, robbed of her cub," Levi answered, "an' how a bull moose acts in runnin' time, mebbe. Wal, this Pete is worse'n /both on 'em biled into one, I callate. If you're pain' ter take the gal back, you've got to keep her shady, or some day you'll find her missin'. Besides, Pe,te, ez I told ye, don't know the meanin' o' law and is handy with a gun. But Martin did not quite share Levi's fears, and so Angie's decision was agreed to. Levi's advice to "keep shady" was accepted, however, and all through that summer's somewhat thrilling experiences it was the rule of conduct. When supper was over came the lounging beside the cheerful fire, and ns the shadows thickened, forth came Ray's banjo once more, and with it the light, of admiration in Chip's eyes. All that day he had been her charming companion; his open, manly face, his bright brown eyes, had been ever before her. His well-bred ways, so unlike, all the men at Tim's Place, had impressed her as those of a youth of 18 will a maid of 16; and now, with his voice appealing to the best in her, he seemed like Pan of old, once more wooing a nymph with his pipes. No knowledge of this was hers, no conciousness of why she was happy years of isolation and a funny-aack and. red-shirt garb bad not obliterated lUe deepest instinct of woman. To Levi, Martin's woodwlse helper, was left the selection of fittings for the new camp. A couple of husky Canucks were engaged to bring them in In a bateau, and then the party started on its return. Only one incident of importance occurred during the wait at this village known as Grindstone. Angle and Chip had juBt left the only store there, in front of which a group of log-drivers had congregated, when Angle, glancing back, saw that one of the group was following them. She quickened her pace, and so did be, until just as they turned into a side street, he passed them, halted, and turned about. "Wal, I'm damned if tain't Chip, an' dressed like a leddy," he exclaimed, as they drew near. "Hullo, Chip," he added, as they passed, "when did you strike luck?" Chip made no response and he muttered again, "Wal, I'm damned, jest like a leddy!" It was annoying, especially to Angle, and neither of the two realized how soon this blunt log-driver's discovery would reach Tim's Place. And now, leaving the bateau to follow, the party started once more on their journey Into the wilderness. No sight or sign of pursuit from the halfbreed had been thus far observed. A few idle lumbermen in the village— the only visible connection between the vast forest and a busy world— were little thought of, as their canoes crept slowly up the narrowing river and gave no hint of interference from this low bi-ute to anyone except Levi. He, however, seldom speaking, but ever acting, kept watch and ward continually. At every bend of the stream his eyes were alert to catch the first sight of a down-coming canoe in time to conceal Chip, as he decided must be done. When night camps were made, a site at the head of the lagoon or up some tributary stream was selected, and while not even hinting his reason for this, he felt it wise. As came to her. She knew what spites were; hut the god Pnn and Apollo \' with his harp were unknown forms. , , , . . , „ , , , , ^ Neither did she realize that born in \ w e rP K o i n t o b u t l d a c a m p n n o t h e r her soul that, day, on the broad shin- "They Are Thot," He Returned. they drew near to Tim's Place, it began to occur to Martin that Chip's presence had best be concealed \intil that point was passed. He also desired to learn the situation there. He had always halted at this clearing in all his up-river journeys, so far, usually to buy pork and potatoes, and he now intended to do so again. He also felt it imperative to conceal Chip in Ray's canoe, before they reached Tim's Place, and let, Ray paddle slowly .on while the halt, was made. But. Levi dissented, " 'Tain't best," he said, "to let Tim know there's two canoes of us and one not'stoppin'. It'll make him s'picious n' suthin', 'n' what he 'spects, Pete'll nnd out. I callate we'd best pass thar in the night, leave the wimmen above, 'n' you 'n' I go back 'n\ git what we want." "But what about the Canucks following us with the bateau?" returned Martin. "They'll tell who is with us, won't, they?" "They didn't see us start," answered Levi, " 'n' can't swear winrmen came. ;yVe'll say we're alone, 'n' bein* so'll make it plausible, V you might say ing river, was a magic impulse woven out of her heart throbs, and destined to mete out to her more sorrow than all else in her life combined. She had entered the wondrous vale -of love whose paths are flower-strewn, whose shores are rippled with laughter, and whose borders, alas! are ever hid in the midst of tears. season fetch our wimmen in." "But how about our men, on the return trip, after finding we have women at the" camp?" rejoined Martin. "We've got to keep the wimmen shady, an' fool em," answered Levi. And so his plan was adopted. "They will be sure to tell all they know on Ihe way back." It was in the early hours of morning when the two canoes crept, noiselessly papt. Tim's Place. The stars barely outlined the river's course, the frame dwelling, log cabin, and stump-dotted slope back of them. All the untidftapM Lher troubles touched a responsive existent about this dwelling wag Md'f chord in his heart, and on the instant unfortunate condition found her Tim and all bit family matt be awakened. Her recent escape from this spot and all the reasons forcing it, the fear that both her father and the half-breed might even now be there, added dread; and not until a bend hid even the shadowy, view of this plague spot did she -breathe easier. "I was nigh skeered to death," she whispered to Ray when safety seemed assured, "an' If ever Pete finds I'm u i whar the folks Is goln', I'm a goner." "Ob, we'll take care of you," returned that boy, with the boundless confidence of youth; "my uncle can shoot as well as anyone, and then Old Cy is up at the camp, and he's a wonder with a rifle. Why, I've seen him hit a crow a half-mile off!" Smoke was ascending from the chimney, and the rising sun was just visible when Martin and Levi returned to Tim's. Mike was out in an enclosure, milking; Tim was back of the houBe, preparing the pigs' breakfast. The pigs were squealing, and a group of unwashed children were" watching operations, when Martin appeared. A pleasant "Good morning" from him and a gruff one from Tim was the introduction, and then that stolid pioneer started for the sty. Not evejn the unusual event of a caller could hinder him from the one duty he most enjoyed,— the care of his beloved swine.* "You have some nice thrifty pigs," began Martin, when the pen was reached, desiring to placate Tim. "They are thot." he returned. "My guide and I are on our way into the woods, to build a camp," continued Martin, anxious to have his errand over with, "and we halted to buy a few potatoes of you and some pork. I have a couple of men following with a bateau," he continued, after pausing for a reply which did not come; "they will be along fn a day or two with most of our supplies; but I felt sure I could get some extra good pork of you and some choice potatoes." "You kin that same," replied Tim, his demeanor obviously softening under this flattery, and so business relations were established. Martin had intended asking some cautious question regarding Chip or her father; but Tim's surly face, his unresponsive manner, and a mistrust of its wisdom prevented. He was blunt of speech, almost to the verge of insolence, and the arrival of Martin with all his polite words evoked not a vestige of welcome; and yet back of those keen gray eyes of his a deal of cunning might lurk, thought Martin. Two slovenly women peered out of back door and window while the interview was in progress. Mike came and looked on in silence; two of the oldest children were down by the canoe where Levi waited; the rest, openeyed and astonished, seemed likely to be trodden on by some one each moment. When the stores were secured and paid for, and Martin had pushed off with Levi, he realized something of the life Chip must have led there. He had intended not only to obtain potatoes, but some information of value. He obtained the goods, paying a thrifty price, also a good bit of cold shoulder, and that was all. But Levi, shrewd woodsman that he was, fared better. "I larned Chip's gone off with old MeGuire," he asserted with a quiet smile when they were well away, "an* that Pete's swearin'murder agin him." "And how?" responded Martin, in astonishment. "I felt that silence was golden with that surly chap, and didn't ask a question." "I'm glad," rejoined Levi. "I wanted to tell you not. to, and I've larned all we want. Children are easy to pump, an' I did it 'thout wakin' a hint o' 'spicion. Tim/s folks all believe Chip's gone with her dad. Pete thinks so, an' is watchin' for him with a gun, I 'spect, an' if so, the sooner they meet, the better." It was gratifying news to Martin, and when the other canoe was reached, the two again pushed on, with Martin, at least, feeling that the ways of Fate might prove acceptable. Three days more were consumed in reaching the lake now owned by him, for the river was low, carries had to be made around two rapids, and when at last, the sequestered, forest-bordered sheet of water was being crossed, Martin wished some titanic hand might raise an impassable barrier about his possessions. Old Cy's joy at. their return was almost hilarious. To a man long past the spasmodic exuberance of youth, loving nature and the wild as few do, the six months here with the misanthropic old hermit, then a month of moro cheerful companionship, followed by the departure of Martin and Angle, made the forest home-coming doubly welcome. But. Chip's appearance, and the somewhat thrilling episode of her escape from Tim's Place and her rescue, astonished him. Like all old men who are childless, a young girl and X m\ '^J® K*r "--iif*lt;'. Hart spites were * reality J& the wood*' ,. he bad s w hundred* of them. It was not long ere he had won her confidence and good-will, as he had Bay % and then he took Martin aside. *Tbat gal's chaser's bin < here "boat a week ago," be sard, "on' the worstlookm* cuss I ever seen. I know from his description 'twas him. He kept qulxzin' me ez to how long we'd been here, if I knew MeGuire, or had seen him lately,.until I got sorter riled 'n' began to string him. I told him final' ly that I'd been foolin' all 'long; that MeGuire was a friend o' mine; that he'd been here a day or two afore, borrowed some money 'n' lit out fer Canada, knowin' there was a bad man arter him. Then this one-eyed gaaoo got mad, real mad, 'n' said things, an' then he cleared out." When Martin explained the situation, as he now did, Old Cy chuckled. " 'Tain't often one shoot3 in the dark n' makes a bull's-eye," he said. "I think you and I had better keep mum about this half-breed's call," Martin added quietly, "'and if Angle mentions it, you needn't say that you know who he was. It will only make my wife and the girl nervous." The two tents were now pitched at the head of a cove; some rods away from the hermit's hat, and well out of sight from the landing, and to these both Angle and Chip were assured they must flee as soon as the expected bateau entered the lake, and remain secluded until it had departed. in a way, it was a ticklish situation. All knowledge that this waif was with Martin's party must be kept from Tim's Place and this half-breed, or she wouldn't be safe an hour; and until the Canucks had come and gone, she must be kept hidden. Another and quite a serious annoyance to Martin was the fact that he had counted on thesj two men as helpers in cutting and hauling logs for this new camp. Only man-power was available, an4 to move logs a foot in diameter and 20 feet long, in midsummer, was no easy task; but Levi, more experienced in camp-beUdlng, made fight of it. "We'll cut the logs we need, clus to the lake." he said, "float 'em 'round, 'n' roll 'em up on skids. It's easy nough, 'n' we> don't need them Canuckers round a minit." It was four days of keen suspense to Chip before they appeared. Neither she nor Angle left the closed tent while they remained over night, or until they had been gone many hours, and then every one felt easier. The ringing sound of axes now began to echo over the rippled lake, logs were towed across with canoes, a cellar under the new cabin site was excavated, and home-building In the wilderness went merrily on. While the men worked. Angle and ('hip were not idle. Not only did they have meals to prepare over a rude outdoor fireplace, but they gathered graBS and moss for beds, wove a hammock and rustic chair seats out of sedge grass, tuid countless other useful aids. Chip was especially helpful and more grateful than a (log for any and all consideration. Not a step that she could take or a bit of work that she could do was left to Angle; her interest and do-all-she-could desire never flagged, and from early morn until the supper dishes were washed and wiped, Chip was busy. But Martin, and especially Levi, had other causes for worry than those which camp-building entailed. The fact that this "Pernicious Pete," as Anglo had once called him, would soon learn of their presence here, and hating all law-abiding people, as such forest brigands always do, would naturally seek to injure them, was one cause. Then, there were so many ways by which he could do harm. A fire started at one corner of the hut at midnight, the same Indian-like malice applied to their two tents, the stealing of their canoeB or the gashing of them with a hunting-knife, and countless other methods of venting spite, presented themselves. In a way, they were helpless against such a night-prow ling enemy. Over one hurdred miles separated them from civilization and all assistance; an impassable wilderness lay between. The stream and their canoes were the only means of egress. These valuable craft were left out of sight and sound each night, on the lake shore, and so their vulnerability on all sides was manifest. (TO BE CONTINUED.) v C H A P T E R IV. A week was speut by Martin and his •party at the settlement, during which he acquired the title to township 44, range 10, which included the little . . . . . . ,«_, , lake near the hermit's hut, and made m darkness and on y the faint ;«Mft* ig»lp s a four-square-mlle tract about it. «"» ^ 8 b e t r a > ' e d t h e a * conditio** . *nipathy.

New Augusta, Miss.— The first case on record in this state of a dog making its own will, and of ft being offered for probate, is reported here. Fifteea years ago "Doc" McAllister, the largest planter in this section, died, leaving a pet hound. In his will he set aside $260 for the care of the dog until death. Ford McAllister, the eldest son of the deceased, was given control. "Tobe," the hound, died recently, leaving numerous progeny, of which young McAllister is veTy fond. Desiring to preserve the bequest for the benefit of the pups, when the old hound was attacked by sicknebs, the boy drew up a* will in proper form, witnessed by two cltltens, and placing a pen between the elaws of the. aged dog, the animal made ita, Croat mark.

After half an hour he was feeling fine and concluded to go down town and see if there was anything doing. "He rode a couple of blockB on the back platform of a car when he happened to see an old buggy standing in front of a junk shop with 'For Sale' on it. "'Stop the car,' said Wlcky, and jumped off.

The whole caravan cost him about $18. including drinks. , "He was down to fish scales when jhe got through and it worried him t aome, but he knew of a roadhouse Just '** -out of town where he could always make a touch, so he started to go out there. Wicky wasn't much on the drive, and the horse soon found it out and had pretty much his own way. "He was going along at a pretty good clip on the river road when a trolley car turned a corner suddenly and scared him so that he stopped still. The car hit the buggy and the horse at the same time, and Wicky fel! through the vestibule into the front platform of the car, knocking the mo torman through the door.

Said to Promptly Ov«rcome Kidney and Bladder Afflictions—Shake Simple Ingredients Wall In Bottle. Mix the following by snaking veil in a bottle, and take in teaspoonful doses after meals and at bedtime: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. A prominent physician is the authority that these simple, harmless Ingredients can be obtained at nominal cost from any druggist even In the smaller towns. The mixture is said to cleanse and strengthen the clogged and inactive Kidneys, "overcoming Backache, Bladder weakness and Uriuary trouble of all kinds, if taken before the stage of Hright's disease. Those who have tried this say it positively overcomes pain in the back, clears tlie uflue of sediment and regulates urination, especially at tnight, curing even the worst forms of bladder weakness. Every man or woman here who feelB that the kidneys are not strong or acting in a healthy manner should mix this prescription at home and give it a trial, ay it is said to do wonders for many persons. The Scranton (Pa.) Times was first to print this remarkable prescription, in October, cf 1906, since when all the leading newspapers of New York, BOBton, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other cities have made many announcements of it to their readers. Mrs. Mary Crumlish of » 8 0 West Third Street, Wilmington, D e l , says: "Some years ago I began to feel weak and miserable and one day awoke from a nap with a piercing pain in my back t h a t m a d e m e scream. For two days I could not move and after that" I bad backache and dlazy spells all the time. My anklet swelled and I ran down dreadfully. I was nervous and had awful headaches. I wonder that any medicine could do what Doan's Kidney Pills have done for me.' They cured me four years ago and I have been well ever since." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo, N. Y. WILD TRIBE OF POETS. Picturesque People That Are Found In the Philippines. Among the wild tribes to be found in the Philippines are the Bogobos, the most picturesque people in the tropics. Their origin la unknown, and all sorts of opinions have been expressed concerning them. One tale told of them is that their first ancestors were all poets and musicians, and that the dislike for the practical which is always noticeable among them has come down through the generations. Those that have taught among the Bogobos say that given a song or a poem to learn and they will study and dream over it for hours, but give the Bogobo a problem in arithmetic and he immediately becomes ill and wants to go home. Living at Santa Cruz, in the Davao district, is Miss Benedict, a Chicago university woman, who is collecting everything peculiar to the Bogobo. It. has been found that the beadwork done by them Is quite like that of the American Indian, but there is no other likeness in the races beyond that. FAMILY'S SKIN TROUBLE8. Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Affections Afflict Different Members, But Cuticura Cures Them. "My wife had eczema for five or six years. It was on her face and would come and go. We thought we would give the Cuticnra Remedies a trial. We did so and she has never had a sign of eczema for four years. I myself used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment some time ago for falling hair. I now have a very heavy head of hair. We used Cuticura Remedies for our baby, -*who was nearly bald when young. She has very nice hair now. She is very fleshy, and we had so much trouble with heat that we would bathe her with Cuticura Soap and then apply Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the heat up so much quicker than anything else.

It was Mr. Hobart's first experience with waffles, and he liked the taate of them. When he had been served twice, he called the waiter to him and spoke confidentially.

Surely Here Were Musical Tastes Enough to Suit Anybody. A gentleman of the most cultivated musical tastes, wishing to change his residence, advertised for rooms In a private family "fond of music." The next mall brought him the following reply: "Dear Sir: I think we could accommodate you with rooms, and as for music one of my daughters plays the parlor organ and gittar; another one plays the accordeon and banjo; I play the cornet and fiddle; by wife plays the harmonica and my son the flute. We all sing and if you are good at tenner singing you would fit right in when we get to singing gospel hims evenings, for none of us sings tenner. Or if you plays the base vial we have one right here in the house. If you want music as well as rooms and board we could accommodate you and there would be no extra charge for it. Lippincott's. She Did Not Fear Death. An old lady on her seventy-third birthday once said, "I do not mind getting old, and I do not fear death, but I live in constant fear of paralysis." "For some time I have been wanting to tell you of the great good your wonderful Sloan's Liniment in doing here," writes Mr. James F. Abernethy, of Rutherford College, N. C. "In fact, all your remedies are doing noble work, but your Liniment beats all. In my eight years' experience with medicine I find none to go ahead of it, having tried it in very many cases. I know of one young man, a brick-mason, who suffered from a partial, yes, almost complete, paralysis of one a|jn. I got him to use your Liniment, and now he can do as much work as ever, and he sings your praise every day. I get all to use it I possibly can and know there is great virtue in it. I have helped the%ale of your noble remedies about here greatly, and expect to cause many more to buy them, as I know they can't be beat." A Value. "Nonsense," said the high financier, "we did not sell a worthless franchise." "But such is current report," ventured the Interviewer. The high financier made a gesture of impatience.

H E A R N KIDNEY TROUBLES The kidneys are essential organs for keeping the body free from impurities. If they should fail to work death would ensue in very short time. Inflammation or irritation caused b y some feminine derangement may spread to some extent to the Kidneys and affect them, The cause can be so far removed by using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable C o m p o u n d that the trouble will disappear. When a woman is troubled with pain or weight in loins, backache, swelling of the limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Plnkhatn'sVegetable Compound It may be the means of saving her life. "Read what this medieine did for Kate A. B e a m , 520 West 47th Street, New York, who writes:— Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—"I owe a debt of gratitude to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for it has saved my life.

' V SOME PROPOSED AMENDMENT* TO THE CONSTITUTION, AND PROSPECTS. • • < SOLDIERS* HOME MATTER, Mr. Ullie, of Kent, Makes a Proposal Th«t Wakes Up the Delegates t» the Work Before Them. American theatrical companies are JO tJ&W British provinces. Newcastle will be kept abundantly supplied with soals. The fortune of 13,000,000 left by the '.ate Robert Pinkerton shows that It iometimes is profitable to mind other people's business. There is every reason in the world why the farmer should feel complacent who has a few hundred bushels jt wheat stored away. Europe is getting ahead of us In the balloon Industry only because the war office over there doesn't care what it does with the taxpayers' money. AUfcoegb the steamships are getting awfully fast, even the best of them will carry dining rooms and sleeping apartments for a few decades y e t The substitution of radium as a money metal would be a great convenience for the men who are endeavoring to collect all the coin in the world. Dr. Em 11 Koenig of Berlin says that " Use decay of the entire human race is ^MHninent He should not take so sew w s l y these reports from Pittsburg and New York. "Men who think rise," says a Philadelphia paper. Still quite a number of men glued to street car seats are In a brown study when a tired woman enters and clutches a strap. If the sprightly young collegians were as swift In their studies as they are in their class rushes, remarks the Cleveland Leader, what a wealth of wisdom Ohio would have In a few years! The navy says the army can't shoot, *nd the army Bays the navy has to give vaudeville shows in order to get recruits. It may yet turn out that the militia is the most efficient branch 3f the Bervlce. The claim of Dr. Sewell that most alleged mad dogs are really only suffering from thirst, will not, however, ancourage many philanthropic souls to rush out with a pan of water and offer them a drink. Ernest Thompson Seton, writing In % current magazine on the "Marriage af Animals," remarks casually that domesticity is "notoriously bad for the morals of animals," and cites the dog as a conspicuous example. The Immorality of animals! Heavens and earth! A New Yorker, who Is courting trouble says that bold, high foreheads are not evidences of intellect, because children and women have bolder and higher foreheads than men. When he gets through being scalped by the women he will realize that a bold tongue is no evidence of intellect. Twenty-four millions of dollars is the official estimate of the amount of money expended in Europe this year by Americans touring In automobiles. The baBls of the calculation is that there are 8,000 touring parties, averaging five persons each, spending $10 a day for two months. Great guessing! The will of Henry J.

The Proposition. The most discussed proposal l a the constitutional convention Is the amendment plan of Delegate Colon C. Llllle, of Kent, not merely because of the method of amendment which it contains, hut because it can be seen to contain solution of s o many of the big problems which are crowding forward for recognition. Initiative-referendum, suffrage, prohibition, govern* ment ownership, are all held, according to thoughtful members of the con- , ventioa, within the compass of the Llllle proposal for amending the revised constitution. It Is hereby proposal: S e c 1. That the following sections be adopted as sections in the revised constitution: Sec. 1. Amendments to this constitution may be made on petition of 25 per cent of the qualified voters of the state to the secretary of state, who shall submit the proposed smendment to the people for their ratification at the next general election, and when so submitted if the proposed amendment receives a majority of all the votes east at that election, it shall become a part and parcel of this constitution. (This section Is new). Sec. 1. The legislature, two-thirds of both houses concurring, may propose amendments and submit them to the people for ratification at a general election, and such proposal shall become part and parcel of the constitution, if they receive a majority of all the votes cast at such election. (This is in the present constitution). The present expectation of the convention is that the Llllle proposal can pass. Strong direct legislationlsts say: "We shall get that if no more," while ultra-conservatives say: "This is the only proposition that looks as if there might be danger of its passage." The referendum plan Is more favored than the initiative. Perhaps three-fourths of the proposals submitted on local government questions contain some referendum provision, and no man has appeared very violently opposed to local referendum principles. The initiative has not appeared by Itself in . local proposals, though localities- are included in the state wide bills. Strange to note, the recall, which is usually mentioned in connection with initiative-referendum plans, has not yet been presented In any proposal. The sum of present opinion seems to be that there will be a measure of referendum conceded in local matters (this apart from general "home rule" provisions), and there will be an initiative in constitutional amendments, unless the tide turns. Stir Up at 8oldiers' Home. It. develops that when Gov. Warner left Grand Rapids suddenly last week, after having a conference with the board of trustees of the Miohigan SoldierB* home, he dropped a few tart remarks about the "posthumous" fund, concerning which he made the trip to Grand Rapids. He told the members of the board that he wished the inmates of the home to be given their full pensions, and that he favored dropping at once the scheme of appropriating all of the pension money exceeding |12 a month. The governor is an ex-offlclo member of the board, and has no vote, but the board understood perfectly from the tone In which the governor made his requests, the precrpitation of his retirement from the scene and his refusal to discuss the matter further, that if the soldiers are not allowed to keep their pension money, some resignations from the soldiers' home board will be asked for. The Deerslayers. It is with fear and misgiving by relatives of hunters that the opening of the deer season is observed in northern Michigan, and there are thousands of hunters in the woods. The record of past seasons Indicates that along with from ten to fifteen thousand deer, a number of hunters win be slain. The law which makes the act of kiling a fellow hunter manslaughter has been tried and found wanting. The recent killing of John C. Kruse, a prominent mining man, near Iron Mountain, was a typical fatality. He was slain by a companion who started with him on the trail of three bears. In this case the marksman was an expert hunter. Henry Allman, of Charlotte, who pleaded guilty to burning the barn of a neighbor, was Rent to Iostia I4jr two years. c^fi*!

Stewart, when asked If he was en avowed candidate for the nomination, declared, that h e was not, but added: "If I should run and be elected governor, 1st me tell you right now, I would be governor and there would be a o Question about i t . The condition or our state today is deplorable, nude w h y a lot of cheap politicians. And there would be none of this modern Detaocracy for me! I would only run* on a good old Jeffersonian platform." Stewart1 has long been active in Democratic politics and is one of the leaders of the party in this state. STATE NEWS BRIEFS.

SYNOPSIS. Chip sfoGuire, & W-year-old girl living at Tim's place In the Maine woods is sold by her father to Pete Bolduc, a half-breed. She runs away and reaches the camp of Martin Friable, occupied by Martin., his wife, nephew, Raymond Stetson, and guides. She tells her story and Is eared for by Mrs. Frisble. Journey of FrUWe'a party into woods to visit father •f Mrs. FTtsbte. an old hermit, who has resided in the wilderness for many years. When camp is broken Chip and Hay occupy same canoe. The party reach camp of Mrs. Friable*a father and are welcomed by hi** and Cy talker, an old friend and former townsman of the hermit. They settle down for summer's stay. CHAPTER IV—Continued. - Then, Chip's presence was an added danger. If once this brute found that she was here, there was no limit to what he would do to secure her and take revenge. They had smuggled her '.east Tim> Place, hut concealment here was impossible; If ever this halfbreed returned; she would be discovered, and then what? An so by day, while Martin and Levi were busy with hut-building, or beside the evening camp-fire when Ray nicked his banjo and Chip watched him-with admiring glances, these two guardians had eyes and ears ever alert for this expected enemy. CHAPTER V. There were three people at Birch Camp,—aa Angie had christened it,— namely, herself, Ray, and Chip, who did not share Martin's suspicion of danger. A firm •belle! that a woman's atd in such a complication was of no value, coupled with a desire to save her anxiety, had kept his lips closed as to the situation. Life here at all hourB soon settled itaeif into a certain daily routine of work, amusement, and, on Chip's part, of Btudy. True to her philanthropic sense of duty toward this waif, Angie had at once set about her much-needed education. A reading and spelling book suitable for a child of eight had been secured at the settlement, and now "lessonB" occupied a few hours of each day. It was only a beginning, of course, and yet with constant reminders as to pronunciation, this was all that Angle could do. The idioms of Tim's Place, with all its profanity, still adhered to Chip's speech. This latter, especially, would now and then crop out in spite of ail admonitions; and so Angie found that her pupil made slow progress. There was also another reason for this. Chip was afraid of her, and oft reproved for her lapses In speech, soon ceased all unnecessary talk when with Angie. But with Ray it was different. He was near her own age, the companionship of youth was theirs, and with him Obiw's »rjeec>was ready enough. This, of course, answered all the purposes of benefit by assimilation, and so Angle was well satisfied that they should be together. Beyond that she had no thought that love might accrue from this association. Chip, while fair of face and form, and at a sentimental age, was .so erode of speech, so grossly ignorant, and so allied to the ways and manners of Tim's Place, that, according to Angle's reasoning, Ray's feelings were safe enough. He was well bred and refined, a happy, natural boy now verging upon manhood. In Qreenvale he had never shown much interest in girl's society, and while he now showed a playmate enjoyment of Chip's company, that was all that was likeiy to happen, But the winged god wots not of speech or manners. At youth of, 18 and i maM of 16 are the same the worM Jilts? and so* out 'of sight of suspected by her, the •Interest went on. ,t a glorious golden sumopportunity these two had! , * Back of the camp and tending northwtest to southeast was a low ridge of Mtoropping slate, bare in spots—a fcog-DAck, in wilderness phrase.

And what a wondrous charm this combination of moonlight on the lake and love songs softened and made tender by the still water held for Chip! As those melodies had done on that first evening beside the campfire, so now they filled her soul with a strange, new-bom, and wonderful sense of joy and gladness, Tim black forest enclosing them now was sombre and silent. Spites still lurked in its depths and doubtless were watching;. but a protector was near, bis arm was strong; back at the landing were kind friends, and the undulating path of silvered light, the round, smiling orb above, the twinkling stars, and this matchless music became a new wonder-world to her. Her eyes glistened and grew tender with pathos. She had no more idea than a child why she was happy. Bach day sped by on wings of wind, each hour, with her one best companion, the most joyful, and so, day by day. poor Chip learned the sad lesson of loving. But never a word or hint of this fed from her lips. Ray was BO far above her and such a young hero, that she, a homeless outcast, tainted by the filth and service of Tim's Place, could only look to him as she did to the moon. Not for one instant did he realise the growing independence and self-reliance of this wilderness waif, or how the first feeline that ghc was a burden upon these kind people would chafe and vex her defiant nature, until she would scorn even love, to escape it. Just now the tender Impulse of love was all Ray felt or considered. This girl of sweet sixteen and utter confidence in him was so enthralling in spite of her crude speech and lack of education, her kisses were so much his to take whenever chance offered, and hiinEelf such a young hero in her I * * • * A Spying Enemy 8tood and Watched Thsm. sight, that he thought of naught else. In this, or at least so far as his reasoning went, they were like two grown-up children entering a new world—the enchanted garden of love. Or like two souls merged Into one in impulse, yet in no wise conscious why or for what all-wise purpose. For them alone the sun shone, birds sang, leaves rustled, flowers bloomed, and the blue lake rippled. For them alone was all this charming chance given, with all that, made it entrancing. For them alone was life, love, and lips that met in ecstasy. Oh, wondrous beautitude! Oh, heaven-born joy! Oh, divine illusion that builds the world anew, and building thus, believes its secret safe! But Old Cy, wise old observer of all things human, from the natural attraction of two children to the philosophy of cpntent, saw and understood. Not for worlds would he hint this to Angle or Martin. Full well he knew how soon this "weavin' o' the threads o' affection," would be frowned upon by them; but he loved children as few men do. This summer-day budding of romance would end in a ftiW these two were happy now remain so, and perhaps in Chrp*s it might prove the one best incentiveto her own Improvement. And now as he watched them day by day, came another feeling. Hosss> less all his life so far, and for many years a wanderer, these two h|h§ sisaMtf. aa eoafil only hsip thsm to{ one i*Hfl» futara, and to that end had purpose h# -now b#nt-%i» thought. It * a s midsummer when Martin'and his: party returned to the lake with Chip. In' two weeks the new tog cabin—a large one, divided into three compartments—was erected and ready for occupation. Working as all the men had done from dawn until dark to complete this Cabin, no recreation had been taken by anyone except Ray and Chip; and now Martin, a keen sportsman, felt that his turn had come. The trout were rising night and morn all over the lake, partridges so tame that they would scarce fly were as plenty as sparrows, a half-dozen deer could be seen any time along the lake shore—in fact, one had already furnished them venison—and so Martin now anticipated some relaxation and sport But Fate willed otherwise. One of Old Cy's first and most, farsighted bits of work, after being left with the hermit the previous autumn, had been the erection of an ice-house out of large saplings. It stood at the foot of a high bank on the north of the - knoll and close to the lake, and here, out of the sunshine, yet handy to fill, stood his creation. Its double walls of poles were stuffed with moss, its roof chinked- with blue clay, a sliding door gave ingress, and even now, with summer almost gone, an ample supply of ice remained In it.. In the division of .duties among these campers, Levi usually started the morning fire while Old Cy visited the ice-house for anything needed. One, morning after the new cabin was completed, he came here as usual. A fine string of trout caught by Martin and Ray the day before were hanging in this ice-house, and securing what was needed, Old Cy closed the door and turned away. As usual with him, he glanced up and down the narrow beach to see if a deer had wandered asking there that morning, and In doing so he now saw, close to the water's edge and distinctly outlined'in the damp sand, the print of a moccasined foot. It was of extra large size, and as Old Cy bent over it, he saw it had recently been made. Glancing along toward the head of this cove, he saw more tracks, and two rods away, the sharp furrow of a canoe prow in the sand. "It's that pesky half-breed, sure's a gun," he muttered, stooping over the track, "fer a good bit o' his legs was turned up to walk on, and he wore moccasins t'other day." Curious now, and somewhat startled, he looked along where the narrow beach curved out and around to the landing, and saw the tracks led that way. Then picking his way so as not to obscure them, he followed until not three rods from the new cabin they left the beach and were plainly visible behind a couple of spruces, in the soft carpet of needles, which was crushed for a small space, where some one had stood. Returning to camp, Old Cy motioned to Levi and Martin. All three returned to the ice-house, looked where the canoe had cut its furrow, took up the trail to its ending beside the two trees, and then glanced into one another's eyes with serious, sober, troubled faces. And well they might; for the evening previous they had all been grouped upon the piazza of this new cabin until late, while scarce three rods away a spying enemy, presumably this halfbreed, had stood and watched them. CHAPTER VI. An enemy we can meet in the open need not appall us; but an enemy who creeps up to us by day, or still worse by night, In a vast wilderness, becomes a panther and an Indian combined. Such a one had spied upon Martin's camp that night, and all the tales of this half-breed's cunning and fierce nature, told by Levi, were now rer called. Like a human brute whose fangs were tobacco-stained, >whose one evil eye glared at thefn out of darkness, the half-breed had now become a creeping, crawling beast, Impossible to trail, yet certain to bide his time, seize Chip, or avenge her loss upon her protectors. Now another complication arose as Martin, Old Cy, and Levi left the spot where this enemy had watched them —what to do about Angie and the girl? From the first warning from Levi that they were in danger from the half-breed, Martin had avoided all hint of it to them. Now they must be told, and all peace of mind at once destroyed. Concealment was no longer possible, however, and when Angie was told, her face paled. Her first intuition, and as the sequel proved, a was for them to at once and quit the woods as apeedttjr aa possible. • Pwt Martin was of different fibre. To run away like this was cowardly, and besides he cherished only contempt for a wretch who had played the role of this fellow, and was so vile ef instinct With no desire to do he yet felt tat* if sufficient • • : ml aaCJ&e need of. . ,1hVearar,^sad"espe^D^ this wildernesa iWoaM be waft rid. of sach a desp*eW «*ffture.. ' ' Then Leri^&ftr^*' narrf^ heighth " W A a J n ' f ^ a / to is/cape him,'' he |j|lsV?hyJWirS' Q 4 V the woods neM • kf ott Vkttf he's pot his eye on us tWi minute. He knows every rod q/ the,way out whar we'd be likely to camp. He'd sure follow, an' if he didn't cut our canoes to pieces some night, he'd watch, his chanee V grab the gal 'n' make off under cover o' dsqokn^ssv;, We've got a sort o' human panther to flgger on, an' shootln under such conditions might mean killin' ftf6Hgsi' W e W got to go out sometime), but I don't believe in turning' tail fust go-off, 'n' we may get a chance to wing the cuss, like ez not," and the glitter in Levi's eyes showed he would not hesitate to shoot this half-breed if the chance presented itself. Old Cy's opinion is also worth quoting: "My notion is this hyena's a coward, 'n' like slcfa'll never show himself by daylight He knows we've got guns 'n" know how to use 'em. The camp's as good as a fort. One on us kin alius be on guard daytimes,'an' when it's time to go out—wal, I think we ought to hev curtain' 'nuff 'mongst us to gin one hyena the Blip. Thar's one thing must be done, though, 'n' that is, keep the gal clus. Twon't do to let her go over the hog-back arter berries, or canoein' round the lake no more." And now began a state of semi-siege at Birch camp. Chip was kept an almost prisoner, hardly ever permitted out of Angle's sight. One of the men, always with rifle handy, remained on guard—usually Old Cy, and for a few nights he lay in ambush near the shore, to see if perchance this enemy would steal up .again. With all these precautions against surprise, came a certain feeling of defiance in Martin. With Ray for companion he went fishing once more, and with Levi as pilot he cruised about for game. Only a few weeks of his outing remained, and on sober second thought he didn't mean to let this sneaking enemy spoil those. But Old Cy never relaxed his vigil. This waif of the wilderness and her pitiful position appealed to him even more than to Angle, and true to the nature that had made all Greenvale's children love him, so now did Chip find him a kind and protecting father. With rifle always wits him, he took her canoeing and fishing; sometimes Angie joined them, und so life at Birch camp became pleasant once more. A week or more of happiness was paqped, with no sight of their enemy, and then one morning when Old Cy had journeyed over to the ice-house, he glanced across the lake to a narrow valley through which a stream known as Beaver Brook reached the lake, and far up in this vale, rising above the dense woods, was a faint column of smoke, The morning was damp, cloudy and still—conditions suitable for smokerising, and yet so faint and distant was this that none but the keen, observant eyes of a woodsman would have noticed it. Yet there it was, a thin white pillar, clearly outlined against the dark green of the foliage. Old Cy hurried back, motionel to Levi, and the two watched it from the front of the camp. Martin soon joined them, then Angle and Chip, and all stood and studied this smoke sign. It was almost ludicrous, and yek*ot; for at its foot must be a fire, and beside it, doubtless, the half-breed. "Can you locate It?" queried Martin of his guide, as the delicate column of white slowly faded. "It's purty well ujf'the brook," Levi answered; "thar'sv a sort of Rocky Dundar thar, 'n* probably a cave. I callate If it's him, he's s'pected a storm, "n>feo sneaked to cover." And iiow, as if to prove this, a few drops of rain began to patter on the 'motionless lake; thicker, fasjpr they came, and as the little group hurried to shelter, a torrent almost, descended. For weeks not a drop of rain had fallen here. Each morn the sun had risen in undimmed splendor, to vanish at night, a ball of glorious red. But now a change had come. Wind followed the rain, and all that day the storm raged and roared through the dense forest about The lake was white with driving scud, (he cabin rocked, trees creaked, and outdoor life was impossible. When night camp, it seemed a thousand demons were wailing, moaning, and screeching in the forest, and as the little party now grouped around the open stove in the new cabin watched It, the fire rose and fell In unison with the blasts. (TO BE CONTINUED.) 41:^0 An Explanation. "Fat men are Invariably honest," sald the deep thinker, "and I believe it's because they are so sensitive about their fat." "I don't see what you mean?" "Well, if they should be dishonest, and get caught at it they might have to wear convict suits with the stripes running in the most oncoming becoming way." t MORE THAN HALF OF T H E PA- - T J l N T s V P U P i a < * T T L g ALSO HAS 8EVERAL CASES. /r DISEASE IS SP3&ATJIJK3. Plague Twice WrouaW Havoc in f u - rops—Kiltsd On* Motion P sop Is In Europo~-Fe*ea at Spread to Eastern Cities. The bubonic plague, which was discovered in San Francisco's Chinatown two months ago, has spread so that at the last formal report there were 73 cases, 37 deaths, 17 recoveries^ At Seattle there were half a dozen fatal cases. The San Francisco officials found themselves unable to cope with the situation, and asked the aid of the United States government. They now find it difficult to pay the 930,980 a month necessary to do the city's share of the work, and they want the government to finance that, too. Though only meager reports have ben sent out from San Francisco, it is known that he California authorities have been greatly agitated. It is feared that the epidemic will Bpread to cities farther eaBt For this reason it is contended that the United States government is directly interested and ought to lend its. aid. T h e Bubonic Plague. The Oriental, Levantine or bubonle plague exists in. two principal forms, the mild plague and the severe epidemic plague. It is the latter that Is so virulently fatal. It flourishes most readily in warm, moist climates outside of the tropics, spreading through conditions of poverty, dirt, or bad sanitation. The bacteria are now believed to be carried by the common rat, thus accounting for Its immense spread. LOTS OF CASH. New York Banks Now Able te Heta Crop Moving. Practically all the New York now are sending cash into the and west to facilitate the movement of crops. One large institution, with aevera] thousand correspondents, has sent one-quarter of its resources to help move the cotton crop. Talking with a treasury official In Washington a number of bankers assured him that the financial situation is very noticeably improved. Th*> money stringency is gradually relaxing. The demand on the part of the banks for additional circulation continues unabated and the amounts already shipped from Washington having a marked influence in relieving the present stringency. The fact that practically $60,000,000 in currency disappeared^rom the New York banks within a week is considered sufficient evidence that the New York hankB are doing their best to meet the great demands upon them. While the treasury department has not decided as yet to undertake any criminal prosecutions in connection with the original causes of the money trouble, it is declare* that the tw< men they are said to be investigating especially were officers, one in each of the Mercantile and National Bos* of America. Kaiser Wants to See Tsft. Emperor William will see Secretary Taft in Osborne house, Isle of Wlgh', during the former's visit to England. A messa:«j) conveying this wish was sent through the German embassy at Washington. Taft also will seek an audience of King Edward, as to visit the German emperor on British soil without visiting the king might be re garded as discourteous. So much has been said about Mr. Taft planning to see the emperor that some of the other governments have seemingly become curious as to what is up, if anything. Ambassadors Bryce and Jusserand, it is said, already have made inquiries in Washington, and it Is asserted that there is a feeling at the foreign offices of London and Parts that Mr. Taft would be slighting King Edward and President Fallleres if he does not ask to see them on his way home, or If he stopped only in St. Petersburg and Berlin. While there, Secretary Taft will be given a dinner by Ambassador Tower, at which he will meet Chancellor von Buelow, Gen. von Moltke and Foreign Secretary von Schoen. On the Isle of Wight the kaiser will give a dinner •r luncheon in his honor. Picture of Washington. Through the Instrumentality of Hon. A. W. Austin, United States consul at Glasgow, a portrait, supposed to be that of George Washington, and possibly the first extant, will shortly be brought to this country and hung upon the walls at Mount Vernon. The announcement of the loan was made Friday at the meeting of the local society at the home of Mrs. Orla B. Taylor, by the state regent, Mrs. EB. A. Rathbcne, of this city. The picture in question hangs in the People's palace in Glasgow, under the title "Unknown." The story goes that It was the property of Hon. Robert Pinwiddie, at one time a colonial governor of Virginia, and that when he returned to Scotland he took it with him. * * • • t.*. •» " *! •»4-f"i • • * > $ i j . * : . & & • .•'1..VT • 7"» 1- p. ipqfmw'iRji HPyV^IW i r # V V..'. : > • -i ' *4 -i . ti. ft! ri k•. :1t * ? rt X r Jl !

Even the most careless reader In these days must have noticed the renewed and even lively interest in the subject of canals, which, so far as they are projected, surpass in extent and importance even those schemes for canalization which a century ago fired the imagination of everyone who had the prosperity of the nation at heart. Throughout the •country waterway improvement schemes are being prosecuted with more earnestness than ever, and some Idea of their extent may be gained by the simple statement that the schemes for these improvements already approved by the federal government engineers represent an outlay of $500, 000,000. It has become plain, especially to those business men who have to ship freight, that at present the railroads are unequal to the task. In tile northwest the great lakes, forming a natural outlet for transportation, are being more and more utilised. Generally speaking the country is well watered, and consequently better waterway transportation may be said to be a potentiality. But all the •water courses in the United States are not naturally fit for the traffic. They must be made fit, and this, in moat oases, is a simple matter of expenditure. President Roosevelt has given his approval to the schemes of the middle west to make the Mississippi a deep water route from St. Louis to the gulf. This will cost, simply to .start the plan effectively, $100,000,000. But those who know the valu^ of water transportation do not hesitate to eay that it is worth it. New York ; i s spending more than that amount to resuscitate the Erie canal which, by 'the way, 50 years ago, was said to be ..responsible for the commercial degeneracy of Philadelphia. A canal is being cut through the isthmus which connects Cape Cod with the mainland. This will bring Boston 74 miles nearer New York, to say nothing of the elimination of a route through Nantucket sound, which is dreaded because of its dangerous shoals. Within three years, It is expected, this canal will be ready for the passage of coastwise vessels, for it is a comparatively simple task. The cutting necessary from buzzard's hay to Cape Cod bay will he about peven miles in length. A regrettable feature of the undertaking is the necessary destruction of the beautiful houses Qi President Cleveland ar.;l of the late Joseph Jefferson. While this scheme i.; designed to eliminate a dangerous route, the proposed .Norfolk-Beaufort Inlet canal farther down the Atlantic coast is intended to make it unaecssary for coastwise ships to venture in the treacherous neighborhood of Cape Hatteras, which has a reputation of being the graveyard of shipping. Valuable as are both these projects, they may be made more far-reaching In their beneficial effects by the coastwise waterway project. The origin of this plan, which to national in scope, is to be found in a meeting which was held at Trenton. The conference at the New Jersey capital had been called for the purpose of advancing Trenton's interest as. a port As the New Jersey city is 40 miles farther from the sea than is Philadelphia, necessarily it cannot become a port without some advantage accruing to the latter. It is of mutual Interest, therefore, that the channel of the Delaware be made such es befits a first-class waterway. The 30-foot channel from the sea to this city, it is said, will be a fact by next June; then an attempt will be made to have It deepened to 35 feet. At present, nothing can be accomplished towards this end, as the government engineers reply, very wisely, thst it must first be demonstrated that a 30-foot channel will hold before money should be spent on a survey for one of 36 feet. Trenton, however, while demenjding a better waterway, has modestly asked for a channel of ten feet depth at low water and 300 feet wide. It will have to be cut through a bar over four miles long, which at present prevents approach to the New Jersey capital to all but bargeH of the shallowest draught. Trenton's manufactures and commerce are constantly increasing, and the railroads appear to be entirely unable to prevent the freight congestion experienced at this point. It was at this conference, to which the Philadelphia congressman and Mayor Reyburn had been invited, that the subject of the Atlantic Beaboard waterways route was first broached. Congressman J. Hampton Moore electrified his audience in the Trenton chamber of commerce when he proposed the scheme. The conference had been called to hear a report on the removal of a sandbar in the river and heard one of the most ambitious and encouraging schemes for waterway improvements that had been proposed for many years. The plan suggested by Congressman Moore for deeper waterways on the Atlantic seaboard is said to offer no especially difficult engineering features. Neither is it believed that it. will require anything like the sum about to be expended on the Mississippi. The waterways, for the great part, are already here. What is needed is improvement. The route of coastal waterways as planned would make possible an entirely safe voyage from Boston to Beaufort Inlet, In North Carolina, for average sized coastwise vessels, for it would be entirely "Inside," thus avoiding the dangerous shoals in Nantucket sound and the treacherous sands off Cape Hatteras. In addition to these advantages, it would materially shorten the distance between many points on the route. Storms, which now necessitate the seeking of shelter, or a run out to sea, would be avoided, thus shortening the time. Freight carrying vessels could make the trip at any time of the year In perfect safety and on schedule time. Delays would seldom occur and cer tainly no more frequently than on railroads. Philadelphia would be a gainer, according to the belief of Mr. Moore, by the adoption of his plan, for it occupies the geographical center of this waterways route. '" VVl;:N MONEY WXt tGftftCI.'' - u * 7 ' ' "*•:•%;- - ; - . . ' . . - ' , - Practically UncMabMOleDurtng Pfrio4 However scarce money may be at times at the preeeat," said an old Mlssourtan, Htne oldest inhabitants will recall *he* It was almost unobtainable and other oommoditiee had to be used as media of exchange. The wolfs scalp waa worth a dollar because It was a state bounty upon the death * of a wolf, and venison hatns and deer skins also had a purchasing value. Skins of the fur bearers wire likewise abundant and valuable. When the first aheriff of Audrain county, in 1837, went to Jefferson City to deliver the county revenue, he met an old friend on the way who, needing money, wanted to borrow the actual coin part of the county's revenue. The - good-hearted sheriff lent it to him and went on to the capital and delivered only the scalps. Ey the time of the next settlement the loan was repaid and the Bheriff made hts next settlement complete. No note or other obligation than the mere word was given."—Columbia Herald, TO PRETENDERS.

Environment gives you a view-point from which it is difficult to understand that some people even nowadays act. from motives of old fashioned honesty. There are. honest makers of foods and healthful beverages and there are honeBt people who use them. Perhaps you are trained to believe there is no honesty in this world. There is, although you may not be • .I i n of a kind to understand it. Some of you have been trained in a sorry class of pretenders, but your training does not taint the old fashioned person trained without knowledge of pretense and deceit. These letters came to us absolutely without solicitation. We have a great many thousand from people who have been helped or entirely healed by following the suggestions to quit the food or drink which inpy be causing the physical complaints and change to Postum Coffee or Grape-Nuts food. You are not intelligent enough to know the technical reasons why the change makes a change in the cells of the body. Your knowledge, or lack of knowledge, makes not the slightest difference in the facts. You can print from old and worn plates all the cheap books your presses will produce and sell them as best you can, but such acts and your "learned" editorials are but commercial, and seek only "dollars" and much by pretence. When you branch out into food values yon become only ridiculous. Stick to what you know. The field may be small but it is safe.

Dsar Mr, Pritchard: Noticing Postum Food Coffee advertised each week in your reliable paper, I concluded to try it, and feeling it a duty towards those who may have suffered as I have from indigestion, desire to state what wonderful benefit I have received from Postum although using only a ahort time, and ndt do. I alone realize and appreciate its good effects, but friends remark, "How much I have improved and how well I look", and I tell the facts about Postum every time, for since using it I have not had one attack of indigestion. It is invigorating, healthful; does not affect the ueryes as ordinary coffee, and if properly made, a most delicious drink. Although I Jaave not had much faith in genera) advertising, yet, finding Postum has done BO much better for me than I expected I am more inclined to "Prove all things, hotd fast that which is good." I am so thankful for good .healft that I want it known what a blessing Postum has been to me. You may use these few lines as an ad. if you so desire and my name also. •;„-*•£* Very truly ypirti;; Anna & miifn. 27.r> McDonough St., Rrooktym.

This appearetT to make the other man rather cautious, as he glanced warily around'to see if any one was lietentag to the-talk of bis friend. At this moment ha discovered the presence of the dignified justice and turning hastily to his loud* talking comrade, he, said: "For heaven's sake, lower your voice; you may have heard that justice i s blind but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's deaf also." Whether Judge Harlan heard the remark it is impossible to state, yet, all the same, a calm smile flitted over his face at the conclusion of . the young fellow's admonition to his friend. Mexico's Indian Women. The beauty of Indian women Is one of the charmB of Mexico. In the capital, where the Indian has degenerated through poverty and menial service it is less to be remarked than in the smaller towns and in the country. But the beautiful faces.one takes in memory away from Mexico are those of Indian women. Pine eyes are universal, and, what one hardlyisxpects, the features, according to Caucasian standards — broad brows, straight noses, well-formed mouths and chins full but not gross or heavy. The expression is very generally intelligent, and often one is struck, both in Indian men and women, with the nobility and refinement of the countenance. One frequently sees types among the peons that seem to belong to some highly civilized ancient caste —an Egyptian priest of royal blood, a Roman centurian, an Aztec emperor. The women- are gently lovely where they are beautiful, and the men at their best in carriage, in manners and in countenance are strikingly like the very advanced product of civilization. •-Modern Mexico. The Peaceful Cow. She was even more afraid of cows than most girls, so when she spied a placid animal recumbent under a tree, peacefully chewing its cud, she at first refused to go through the pasture at all. Her husband calmed her fears to some extent, and they started by, when the cow slowly commenced to get up, hind legs first, as they always do. At this the little lady Bhrieked with terror, and said: "Oh, Bob, hurry, hurry, he is getting ready to spring at us!"-—Harper's Magazine. He who should teach men to die would at the same time teach them how to live.—Montaigne. •<.v CALIFORNIA F I G Symjp Co. OKIY A. W.

Ita nature la best revealed, by the attention the Turkish soldier la capable o f giving la the thick of battle to trivial details of ordinary life, such aa the undoing of his boot rtrtjp^*., which he will sit down calmly and unconcernedly to put right, or the, flight of a bird, which he will follow in its course, or a bumorcms lajattot waieh will set hltn laugbitag. It; Is a purely racial characteristic. Goejrary to what is generally thoUlgMJlo *e the. caae> reUgloua in- ^ r a i i o i baa Jlt«% or nothing to do with It , IUamfwn only add* to the warlike, enthusiasm of the Turk: It makes him more eager, more strenuous, more enterprialng- in battle with the infidel, since death,.,In such a caie secures to him the transcendent. rewards of martyrdom. But his fearlessness is not greater when he I* ;wagiug war ajpitnat the latter than when he Is fighting his rebellious Albanian or Arab xorellfjonlst, which t,.h« is constahUy employed in doln^ bx order of thesnltat- He la atendOJlDk as he is brave, and as disclpllae^saa he la endurfag. >Mhat h4 can; PUt up with in tha way of hardships ot etery description is far beyond the capacity of the European so^t!«r«? ng^tl excluding the Russian, who, however, might equal tke Turk In this connection were It not for the drinking habit to which he Is a victim and from which the former is absolutely free. To find an exact parallel for the power of the Turk to defy all forma of suffering we must, go to China and : Japan. It does not detract in the least from bis meriit in this respect to say. what is perfectly true in his case as in that of the Chinese and Japanese, th&t his frapassiveness where pain-producing circumstances are concerned, proceeds in a great measure from insensibility. Ultimately this means the possession of an exceptionally healthy and robust constitution; and health and • strength, which certainly are among the inheritances of the Turk, are'great virtues. The discipline of the Turk does not show in superficial matters. He reserves his salute for fullblown geperals and otherwise behaves towards his superiors with, a sans gene which produces a bad impression on those who are accustomed to connect obedienee with a complicated display of respect. But his submissiveness to those in command is quite extraordinary, though under the present government of Turkey the conditions of his military service have become so intolerable that mutiny has become a frequent occurrence in the imperial army. The wonder is that any discipline at all exists in its midst. The reliant and resourceful, I ehould add that this last quality is characteristic of all the Inhabitants of Turkey, who, in the semibarbarous condition of the courts, ars constantly forced to exercise their wits with great keenness to preserve their late existence. Birds Spread Infection, serious risk of tuberculosis from, birds is alleged by Dr. Tucker of Montreux, who records 33 ss of apparent infection, with other evidence from eminent physicians. The life of caged birds—like canaries, pigeons and parrots—especially favors tuberculous disease, and the fluttering of their wings and the action of ^flies readily convey infection to the family.

A rather cynical joke* has been recently credited to Senator Piatt The senator, on his last visit to the Manhattan Beach hotel, allowed a pretty little girl, a western millionaire's daughter, to be presented to him. The little girl, in the course of one of her many chats with the aged statesman, said: "Tell me, won't you, senator, what political economy is?" "Political economy, my dear child," Senator Piatt Is said to have replied, "is the art of never buying more votes than you actually tfeed." BABY'S ECZEMA GREW WORSE. Hospitals and Doctors Could Not Re. lieve Him—But Cuticura Remedies a Speedy, Permanent Cure. "Eczema appeared when our baby was three months old. We applied to several doctors and hospitals, each of which gave us something different every time, but nothing brought relief. At last one of our friends recommended to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. A few days afterwards improvement could be noted. Since then we have used nothing but Cutieura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby Is six months old and is quite cured. All that we used was one cake of Cuticura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Ointment, costing in all $1.26. C. F. Kara, 343 East 65th Street, New York, March 30, 1906." Worse and Worse. "The late Admiral Walker," said a naval officer in Washington, "believed heartily in marriage for sailors. He always urged sailors to wed. Nautical bachelors were held up to scorn by him. "Strolling with him In^NevTYork one day we met a young ship-broker. Admiral Walter hailed the young man delightedly. He clapped him on the back, wrung his hand and cried: " 'Congratulations on your marriage, my young friend. No more sewing on of buttons now, eh?' " *No, indeed/ said the Bhip-broker sharply. 'I wear a belt now. It keeps me so busy raising money to pay my wife's bills that I have no time to sew on buttons.' " A Walking Map. "The maps we have been giving as premiums to subscriptions caused a little temporary excitement in our. office the other day," says the editor of the Adams Enterprise. "Ben Spudge called and casually remarked in "the presence of seven intending subscribers that the said maps weren't worth the paper they were printed on. As this observation caused the seven intending ones to keep their cash in their pockets we proceeded to make a map of Ben's countenance, and we succeeded so well that he is now the best walking advertisement our map industry ever had.

Say** "Halle* U Heart Throae. \ fm i i a ottrkros tWac" Jal4,a pewait lecturer recently, -Mbow some books have a Btroig radiating personality, so that yon feel like saying 'Howdy* every time yon come across them. Last Christmas I visited friends back at the old home on the farm. When the supper dishes ksd been put away, the-chores done and the evening lamp lighted we gathered beside the organ for a good old fashioned -sing.' On the center table were*strewn the Christmas remembrances taken from Christmas tree on the evening before. Glancing over .them I .suddenly exclaimed 'Hello! my good friend, Hello!' and as the others looked op with surprise, I picked up a copy of 'Heart Throbs' and read to them from Its pages the 'piece' I spoke in school 40 years ago. "That was enough to set In motion the friendly entertaining spirit of Heart Throbs, and the music was forgotten as we took turns reading the humorous and pathetic bKa of prose and verse that have been preserved In this wonderful volume. Some books have great literary value, some have historical significance, but Heart Throbs is the only book I know that slaps you on the back in a friendly sort of way, suiting itself to your moods and proving faithful to every emotion. Next to my love of the Bible I love Heart Throbs. It is the most notable book of the times." Martins' Revenge. A correspondent tells the story of two house martins' nesta built against an attic window of a farm, to which the birds came for several successive years. Last spring, however, before they arrived, a. sparrow took up her abode in one of the nesta. Shortly after the martins returned as usual, and one day the farm people noticed that the hole of the nest which the sparrow occupied had been blocked up. Next morning a boy climbed up to ascertain the meaning of this, and not finding any outlet broke away part of the nest, to find the poor little sparrow dead on her eggs. 'ihe house martins had, walled her up for daring to take possession of their house.—Country Life. slitfa^tteftD tifaifeSioaKmt V fNfANTS'TUfLDKrN $100 Reward, Si00.

"Never mind," exclaimed his guest; "I have enjoyed dining with you, and I shall l>e charmed to shoulder t h e cost. Permit me." Whereupon tha Btranger paid for two. This worried the prelate, who insisted, "Just let me call a cab and we'll run up to my hotel, where I shall have the pleasure of reimbursing you."

Alaaka'i extreme breadth from eaat to west i t 2,200 miles In an air line. According to Prof. Gu>*t, a recognised -iUtliority on all geographic matters, the Island of Attu, in Alaska, la as far west of San Francisco as the coast of Maine Is east/>f that city; or, in «*ther worda, San Francrtco is the great middle eity between the extreme eaaC and west of the United States, tmya Jay Monroe Latimer in Metropolitan Magazine, a fact which is very dfHcurt for the eastern miudt to grasp. Ttm breadth of Alaska from north to south is 1,400 miles. Now about the coast line! According to the Unked States coast survey the shore line of Alaska, up and down the bays and around the islands, measures 25,000 miles, ©r two and one-half times that of the Atlantic a«d Pacific coast llse of the remaining portion of the United StateB. The coast of Alaska, if extended in a straight line, would belt the globe. Nearly 40 years ago, when Secretary of Stat* Seward proposed that the United States should purchase this vast tract of land, the people throughout the length and breadth of . t h e union shouted: "Folly! folly! $7,200,000 for an iceberg!" Nevertheless, Secretary Seward was wiser than his day and generation. He introduced the bill before congress; and there after stormy and lengthy debates he secured its passage, and the United States received fromftussia the greatest of all her possessions. Coal Industry In Montana. The coal mining industry in Montana has, according to the records, just entered the second quarter century of its history. So far as known, the first coal produced in the state, or the territory, as it was then, was mined in 1880, In which year the production amounted to J24 tons. It was not until 1889, however, that the industry assumed any importance, the production increasing nearly 800 per cent., from 41,467 short tons in 188 to 363,301 short tons the following year. During the next six years develop raent advanced rapidly, until In 1895, it exceeded 1,500,000 tons. Compara tively little fluctuation was shown by statistics of production from 1895 to 1906, but in 1906 considerable improve ment was evident, the production hav ing increased from 1,643,832 short tons, valued at $2,823,350, in 1905, to 1,829,921 short tons, valued at $3,240, 359, in 1906, a gain of 186,089 tons, or 11.3 per cent, in quantity, and $417,- 007, or 14.8 per cent., in value. The number of men employed in the coal mines of Montana Increased from 2,181, in 1905 to 2,394 in 1906, the average number of working days being the same (243) in both years. The average production per man in 1906 was 764.4 short tons, against 753.7 In 1905, and the average dally production per man was 3.1.5 ton.s in 1906, against 3.10 tons in 1905. Problem of Air Navigation. Apropos of the prevailing acute interest in aeronautics abroad, a foreign critic intimates that, the United States Is far behind other countries, and speaks rather slurringly of our alleged nonprogresaiveness. But there Is no occasion for getting "hot under the collar" hecause of the insinuation, soothingly remarks the Troy (N. Y.) Times. That other countries are greatly in the lead of the United States in this matter really remains to be proved. And even-if the allegation he true, what assurance does it furnish that this country will long remain in the rear of the procession? Americans have a knack of "catching on" which serves them excellently when necessary. The old world had a btg lead on automobiles, for instance. But it haB not taken long for the United States to work its way to first place In motor-car production. It would not be at all surprising if, after everybody else has done his best and fallen short of turning out a suceasful flying machine, some American should come along and perfect an airship which would surpass all others.

LAWLESSNESS RAMPANT. Murderous Assaults Not PunishW and Conditions Arouse Business M e n - Governors Action Pleases Better Element. Lawlessness in Ontonagon county 4* being investigated by the state. At ts»uey General Bird and Deputy Attorney General George Law are (¾ persouully conduct the inquisition. Many complaints have been made to Gev. Vfaruer. Representative bust* n«ws men of Ontonagon complained that the county Is eutirely disorganized. Th*y declared that the official* ure afraid to enforce the law and that the itffairo of the county government are muddled. One of the causes of complaint is that about two months ago an Austrian at Xass City Quarreled with a girl. He «hot at the girl several times, but none of thu bullets took effect. The Austrian was not arrested on a charge of attempted murder. Instead, he was sent to jail for 90 days on conviction on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. Another shooting case that io under investigation by the state Is that connected with the strike riots at the Michigan mine a year ago. Several Finns were wounded, but nothing was done in the way of prosecution. Since the strike riots the worst element in the county seems to have a general disregard - for the law, although the allegation is made that disorder ha* been kept well in hand by the authorities. At the present time Ontonagon in overrun with woodsmen. Men In the lumber camps and at the mills have been laid off on account of the decreased demand for lumber brought on by the flnaicial conditions. Paid off in checks, which are subject to heavy discounts if converted Into cash, the men are dissatisfied and there is more or less trouble. Brutal Murder of Child. The mysterious and brutal murder of a 2-year-old child that lay sleeping in its cradle at the home of M\ D. Morehouse at South Haven has aroused the countryside and is puzzling the police authorities. One arrest has been made, but it is beHeved the prisoner, Mr. Morehouse, had nothing to do with the crime. The child belonged to Mrs. William Fralick, who left it in care of Morehouse, her foster father, while she went to Grand Rapids. As soon as the shooting had been learned Morehouse was rushed to jail. He said the child occupied a cradle in the same room as he and that at 2:30 a. m. he was awakened by a revolver shot. Upon investigating he found the baby had been wounded in the head. He hurried to a neighbor's to telephone for assistance. He declared he saw no one and heard nothing but the shot. However, he was placed in custody to await an Investigation. The police are now trying lo locate Mrs. Fralick as a witness, believing that .she may be jible to think of some motive for the crime. It is .said there has been much trouble over property in which the child was interested, but. no tangible motive for the crime has yet 'been brought to light. Clgarmakiog in Prison Abolished. Through the efforts of organized labor, the manufacture of cigars in Marquette prison is to he abolished. Though many of those who have sampled the product, have believed for a long time that the institution had outlived its usefulness, it. was not until after several years' agitation, expensive law suits with, and petitions to the authorities, that the reform has been accomplished. The cigar contract expires the first of the year, but the contractors have been given four months' grace to wind up business. The manufacture of cigars will continue until Just before the expiration of that time, and then the convicts who have been making cigars will begin the manufacture of overalls. The board of control ef the prison has let the contract covering the men now employed by the Franklin Cigar Co. to L. S. Shower, who for some years has been overall contractor at the prison. Charges Three Cent Fares. Complaints have been made to the state railroad commission that the Chicago, Kalamazoo & Saginaw railroad has been charging a tteree c fare since the two cent fare law took effect. It8 earnings have been unddr $1,200 per mile, which would entitle it to the higher fare, but as its stock is owned by the Michigan Central and Lake Shore railroads, In equal proportion, It has been contended that the road should be considered a part of these systems and subject to the two cent regulation. The railroad commission has decided that such a construo* tion cannot be placed on the law and the road will be permitted to collect the three cent fare.

Brewer's Attack on Roosevelt. Supreme Justice Brewer's attack upon ^President Roosevelt In his New York address has made a tremendous sensation in Washington. The president has refused to take the least notice of it, but his friends are furious. Mr. Roosevelt has often been tAken to task for criticism of the judiciary— particularly so in the case of Judge Humphrey, of Chicago, who gave immunity to the beef packers—but never before has a member of the highest court in the land taken occasion to impugn dishonest motives to the president of the United States. Justice Brewer stands squarely on what he said. He still believes t h a t the president is dodging the third-term issue and playing hide and seek wKh the people. When he was asked if he would say anything further along the lines of his speech, he replle'd: "There Is nothing more to say," Efforts to secure some expression of opinion from the White House were unsuccessful. The president would not meet newspaper callers, and Secretary Loeb would authorize no expression. One federal officeholder, who Is in close relations with the president, expressed the contempt with which the speech was ignored by saying: "It is not necessary to reply to a man in his dotage."

They will be followed by the commanding officers of the ships. Immediately upon their return to their respective vessels the order will be given for the fleet to get under way and stand out, preceded by the Mayflower. Close Call for "Uncte Joe."

[R VIII,—Continued. pne* two, five minutes elapsed, and then a sudden suspicion of something wrong came to Old Cy, and, followed by Ray. he hurried to the landing. One patl'of water stood on the float, both their canoes were adrift on the lake, and as Old Cy locked out, .there, heading for the outlet, was a canoe! One swift glance and, "My God, he's got Chip!" told the story, and with face fierce in anger, he darted back, grasped his rifle, and returned. The canoe, its paddler bending low as he forced it into almost leaps, was scarce two lengths from the outlet. Old Cy raised his rifle, then lowered it. Chip was in that canoe! His avenging shot was stayed. And now Oldv Tomah leaped down the path, rifle In hand. One look at The vanishing canoe, and his own. floating out upon the lake, told him the tale, and without, a word lie tinned and, plunging into the undergrowth, leaping like a deer over rock and rhasm, vanished at the top ai the ridge. •tfv • CHAPTER IX. While (hip, bound, gagged and helpless in the half-breed's canoe, was Just entering the alder-choked outlet of this lake, 20 miles below and close to where the stream entered another lake, four men were launching their canoes. "It was here," Martin was saying to Officer Hersey, "one moonlight night a year ago, that a friend of mine and myself saw a spectral man astride a log, just entering that bed of reeds, as I told you. Who or what It was, we could not guess; but as that spook canoeman went up this stream, we followed and discovered our hermit's home." "Night-time and moonshine play queer pranks 'with our imagination," Hersey responded. "I'm not a whit superstitions, and yet I've many a time Been what I thought to be a hunter creeping along the lake shore at night, and I once came near pluggig a fat man in a shadowy glen. I Was up on a cliff watching down into it, the day was cloudy, and 'way below I saw what I was sure was a bear crawling along t | e bank of the stream. I bad my rifle raised * and was only waiting for a better sight, when up rose the bear and I saw a human face. For a moment it made me faint, and since then I make doubly sure before shooting at any object In the woods." _. And now these four men, Levi wielding the stern paddle of Martin's canoe, V "4nd Hersey's deputy that of his, eni^ iered the broad, winding stream. The tan spruce-tops meeting darkened its currentless course, long filaments of depended-from every ttnib Hwy twisted and turned up this highway, the air grew stifling. ^e not a sound, disturbed •Hence, and except for the leg and faint thud as gunwales, the fall of a *n heard. So dense t forest, and BC\ forat for an hour no d oven when the w .together, conof statdr progress, sod (fees thf banks ] began to f ttUlss tboipssjvoft a»»a4»tPe ^ n f i T w ^ S i sen iffap tholr p*tB< Htyr now tfc&apoetral' board had vanished from t i e trees, wtiit© clouds were rotfootod from the sttp waters, and the gleam of sandy bottom was seen below. The birds, Inspired perhaps or the absenoo of gloom, also added their cheering notes. Nature was smiling once more, mad not a hint or even Intuition of the fast-near* ins tragedy wet thoso m*n. , And then, as a broad, eddying bend in the stream held their, canoes, by tacit consent a halt was made. Martin, hia paddle' crossed on the thwarts In iront; dipped a cup of the cool, sweet water and drank. Levi wiped the" sweat from his face, and Hersey also quenched his thirst. The day was ho£ They had paddled ten miles. There was no hurry, and as pipes were drawn forth and filled, conversation began. But just at this moment Levi's ears, ever alert, caught the faint sound of a paddle striking a canoe gunwale. Not as usual, in an intermittent fashion, as would be the case with a skilled canoeist, but a steady, rhythmic thud. "Hist," he said, and «ilence fell upon the-group. And dow, from far ahead, came the steady tap, tap, tap. It soon Increased, and then it assured those waiting, listening men that some canoe was being urged down stream. Without a word they glanced at one another, and then, as if an intuition came to both at the game time, Martin and Hersey reached for their rifles. On and on came the steady thump, thump. And then, as those stern-faced, watching, listening men, rifles in hand, aliBBBW'-^'^ k •""-a M !J|PIAPlWBJfWf'T''i ' i Want a Qood Square Talk with Ye, My Boy." raoat side by side, waited there, out from behind this bend shot a canoe. "My God, it's Pete Bolduc! Luuk out!" almost yelled Levi, and "Halt! Surrender!" fVom Hers#y, as two rifles were leveled at the oncomer. Then one instant's sight of a red and scarred face, a quick reach for a rifle, a splash of water, an overturned canoe and with a curse the astonished halfbreed dived into the undergrowth. Two rifles spoke almost at the same instant from the waiting canoes, one answered from otit the thicket. A thrashing, struggling something In the filled canoe next caught all eyes, and Levi, leaping into the waist-deep stream, .grasped and lifted a dripping form. It was Chip! And then came another surprise; for down a sloping, thick-grown hillside, something was heard thrashing, and soon Old Tomah, his clothing in shreds, his face bleeding, appeared to view. Calculating to a nicety where he could best Intercept and head ofj^the escaping half-breed, he had crossed feur miles of pathless undergrowth in less than an hour, and reached the stream at the nearest point after It left the lake. How Chip, still sobbing from the awful agony of mind, and dripping water as well, greeted Old Tomah; how Hersey, chagrined, at the escape of the half-breed, gave vent to muttered curses; how Martin joined them in thought; and how they all gathered around Chip and listened to her tale of horror, are but minor features of the episode, and not worth the telling. When all was said and done, Old Tomah, grim and silent as ever, although he had done what, no white man could do or would try to do, washed his bJoody face in the stream, drank his fill of the cool water, and lifting Pete's half-filled canoe as easily as" If It were a shingle, tipped it,- turned the water out, and set it on the sloping bank. "Me take you back and watch you now," he said to Chip. "You no get caught again." And thus convoyed, poor Chip, willing to clasp and caress the feet or legs of any or all of thoso men, and more grateful than any dog ever was for a 4^raaa, WSJL osoortod hook t * Us* *•*». Ail those waltln* at the cabin wore at the landing when tte resetters arrived. Angle, her e?ee«rtau»J«fc i r s t embraced an* then glased the girl. Ray would hjire felt It a proud J H T - liege to have carried her to the ogbln, amd Old Cy** wrinkled face showed more joy the* ever gladdened H to all hia life, before. Somehow this hapless waif had grown dearer to them all than she or they understood. There was also feasting and rejoicing that night at Martin's wildwood home, and mingled with it all an oftmore. Shadowy forms and the mysticism of the wilderness were more to repeated tale. Old Cy told one «ad of it in his droll way, Martin related1 the other, and Chip filled up the Interim. Levi had MB say, and Hejpey supplied more or lese—-mostly more—of this half-breed's history. Old Tomah, however, said nothing. To bin, who lived in the past of a bygone x ace which looked upon lumbermen as devastating vandals ever eating into its kingdom, and whose thoughts were upon the happy huntjing'grounds soon to be entered, this half-breed's lust and cunning were as f the fall of the lea/. Were it needful he would, as he had, plunge through bramble and brier and leap over rock and chasm to rescue his big pappoose, but now that she WAS sale again, he lapsed into his steicai rejserve once his taste than all the pathos of human life; and while his eyes kindled at Chip's smile, his thoughts -were following some storm or tempest sweeping over a vast wilderness, or the rush and roar of the great white spectre. "Chip is good girl," he said to Angle the next morning, "and white lady love her. Tomah's heart Is like squaw ' heart, too; but he go away and forget White lady must not forget," and with that mixture of tenderness and stoicism he strode away, and the last seen of him was when he entered the outlet without once looking back at the cabin where his "big pappoose" was kept. More serious, however, were the facts Martin and Hersey now had to consider, and a council of war, as it were, wafe now held with Levi, Old Cy and the deputy as advisers. What the half-breed would now do, and in what way they could now capture him were, of course, discussed, and as usual in such cases, it was of no avail, because they were dealing with absolutely unknown quantities. He was now at large in this wilderness, knew where the girl and his enemies were, and as Hersey said, "He had the drop On them.-' "I believe in standing by our guns," that officer continued, after all these conclusions had been admitted. "We are here to rid the woods of this scoundrel. We have five good rifles and know how to use them. The law is on our side, for he refused to surrender, and returned our shots; and if T catch sight of him, I shall shoot to cripple, anyway." Old Cy's advice, however, was more pacific. "My notion Is this feller's a cowardly cuss," he said, "a sort o' human hyena. He'll never show himself In the open, but come prowlin' 'round nights, stealin' anything he can. He may take a pop at some on us from atop o' the ridge; but I callate he'll never venture within gunshot daytimes. His sort is alius more skeered o' uVn we need be o' him." In spite of Old Cy's conclusions, however, the camp remained In a state of siege that day and many days following. Angle and Chip seldom strayed far from the cabin. Ray assumed the water- bringing, night and morning. Old Cy and Levi patroled the premises, while Martin, Hersey, and his deputy hunted a little for game and a good deal for moccasined footprints or a sight or a sign of this half-breed. Hersey, more especially, made him his object of pursuit. He had come here for that purpose, his pride and reputation were at stake, and the thousand dollars Martin had agreed to pay was a minor factor. He and his mate passed hours in the mornings aod late in the afternoon watching from wide apart outlooks on the ridge. They made long jaunts up the brook valley where the smoke sign had been seen, they found where this half-breed had built a fire here, and later another lair, a mile from the cabins and In this ridge. Long detours they made in other directions. Old Tomah's trail in the forest was crossed; but neither In forest nor on lake shore were any recent footprints of the half-breed found. Old ones were discovered in plenty. An almost beaten trail led from his lair In the ridge to a crevasse back of the cabins, but to one well versed in wood tracks, It was easy to tell how old these tracks were. A freshly made trail in the forest bears unmistakable evidence of its date, and no woodwise man ever confounds a two or three days' old one with it. One footprint may not determine this occult fact; but followed to where the moss is spongy or the earth moist, a matter of hours, "even, can be decided.

"My idee la he got so skeered at them two shots," Old Cy, asserted, "be hain't stopped runnin' ylt." And1 then the old man chuckled at the ludicrous picture of this pernicious "varmint" scampering through a wilderness from fright But Old Cy was wrong. It was not tear that saved them from a prompt visitation from this half-breed, but lack of means of defense. The one shot remaining in his rifle at the moment of meeting had been sent on its vengeful errand, all the rest of his ammunition was in Ills' canoe, and now on the bottom of the stream. Being thus crippled for means to act, the only course left to him was a return to his caein 75 miles away, with only a huntlug-knife to sustain life with. He lived to reach his hut on the Fox Hole, and from that moment on, this wilderness held an implacable enemy of McGuire's, sworn to kill him, first of all. CHAPTER X. For two weeks the little party at B^rch Camp first watched and then began to enjoy themselves once more. September had come, the first tint of autumn colored every patch of hardwood, a mellow haze softened the outline of each green-clad hill and mountain, the sun rose red and sailed an unclouded course each day, and gentle breezes rippled the lake. The forest, the sky, the air and earth, all seemed in harmonious mood, and the one discordant note, fear of this half-breed, slowly vanished. Chip resumed her hour of study each day; a little fishing and hunting was indulged in by Martin and the two officers; wild ducks, partridges, deer and troit supplied their, table; each evening all gathered about the open fire in Martin's new cabin, and while the older people charted, Ray took his banjo or whispered with Chip. These two, quite unguessed by Angle, had become almost lovers, and as it was understood Chip was to be taken to Greenvale, all that wonder-world to her, had been described by Ray many times. He also outlined many little plans for sleigh rides, Bkating on the mill pond, and dances which he and she were to enjoy together. His own. future and livelihood were a little hazy to him. These matters do not impress a youth of 18; but of one thing he felt sure,—that Chip with her rosy face and black eyes, always tender to him, was to be his future companion in all pleasures. It was love among the spruce trees, a summer idyl made tender by the dangers interrupting it, and hidden from all eyes except Old Cy's, who was these young friends' favorite. Hut these days of mingled romance and tragic happenings, of shooting, fishing, story-telling and wildwoed life were nearlng their end, and one evening Martin announced that on the morrow they would pack their belongings and, escorted by the officers, leave the wilderness. The next morning Old Cy took Ray aside. "I want a good square talk with ye, my boy," he said, "an' I'm goin' to do ye a good turn if I kin. Now to begin, I s'pose ye know yer aunt's goin' to take Chip to Greenvale 'n' gin her a ehance at the schoolln' she sartinly needs. Now you're cailatln' to go 'long 'n' have a heap o' fun this winter. I'm goin' to stay here 'n' keer for Amzl. This is the situation bout as It is.

Worshipers Carry Fire.* While seeing many people leaving the cathedral I entered to look around the interior of the fine chascel. Inside I saw numbers of men carrying huge wicker baskets filled with triangular earthenware dishes in each of which still smoldered some glowing embers in a bed of white ash. These they carried into the cloisters and emptied solemnly into great metal bins. On reentering the building the secret stood revealed.

T-Washlngton Star, BIBLE FOR THE JEWfv How the Yiddish Translation Came tt Be Made. The Jews are the chosen people el God; through them a knowledge oi H i m and H i e works has passed to other nations, and yet up till now their own Bi bie has bouu tu them a sealed book. It is patheti cally strange that the last translation of the Holy Scriptures should be into the Ytdfrom whom the Suvlour of mankind came. It is generally assumed that the Scriptures, being lu the Hebrew language, must of necessity be open to the Jew, but this popular conception, like many others, does not rest on fact. Hebrew is not known to the Jew. But now the Jews have the Bible in the Yiddish language, thanks to the untiring zeal and enthusiasm of Mr. Marcus S. Bergma^n, himself a Jewish convert. Yiddish is the only language that is really understood by the mass of Eastern European Jews, and thu3 In giving them the BW>1e in this tongue Mr. Bergmann is opening to them for the first time their own Holy Scriptures. For twenty-one years he prayed to God that someone might be raised up who would translate the Bible into Yiddish, but never once did the thought occur to him that he himself would be the man selected for the great task. Yet so it was. He was alone in his room one morning laying this matter before the Lord, perhaps more earnestly than ever before, and when on his knees he seemed to hear a voice saying: 'Write My Word for My people who understand it not." This was twice repeated. He looked round, still on his knees, to s«fe whence the voice came, and wondering wha* it meant. After a little while, he rose from his knees, and, opening the Bible, without knowing at which part, asked God to give him a message from that particular page. Looking at the place at which hia finger was, he bsgan to read: "And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it." That was the com mand to Mr. Bergmann. Without hesl tation, he accepted the commission, and that very morning' the work of translation was commenced. TIBETAN LAMA'S PRAYER. Heart-Felt Petition Which Would Grace the Lips of the Oldest Christian. The Eastern Himalayan "Mission News" gives a translation of a prayer written by a Tibetan lama who has been under Christian instruction for three months. He wrote the prayer spontaneously, and asked if this form of prayer would be suitable to offer to God: "O thou lion-ilke refuge of men. present and future shepherd-like Saviour Jesus, at thy feet I pray. From my sinful and hell-going way, give the blessing of forgiveness now. I believingly beseech thee with all my heart. May I see thy face in the heavenly palace. For eternal life 1 pray. Change the heart and grant forgiveness to believer. There is no salvation from hell. Forgiven sin means that the Saviour shall be seen face to face, his voice heard, and eternal life obtained. Glory be to the name of Jesus. Amen." Need of Public Libraries in China. In the whole empire of China there is not what could properly be called a public library. They have adopted our school system, our text books, and our methods of teaching, and yet they have passed by one of our greatest factors in. education—the public IU brary. An effort is now being made by the Episcopal mission in China to enlist the sympathies of philanthropic people here in the United States who are interested in the uplifting and enlightenment of the Chinese to establish a public library In one of tha great literary centers of the empire.

We learn that a certain Christian convention out in Seattle have decidthat at tuture conventions of the society that the colored delegates should not be allowed to put up at the same hotels as the whites. This is certainly straining Christianity tnrough a very line mesh, and if St. Peter can get hold of the same sieve we fancy that not all of these committeemen will put up in the same heavenly mansions either. Over 3,000 years ago the Israelites wandering in the desert were instructed by Moses to observe a holiday similar in character to the modern American Thanksgiving day when they came to the promised land.

TK* End of Her Visit Hy Viofef £f>/v« Mitchell (Copyright.) "Phoebe! ain't It about time we had mother here on a vlittT"' Mrs. Penny paused In her wanning and looked back at him over her ghoulier, timidly. "I auppoae if 1». Josiah," she spoke hesitatingly, and her face clouded. "If you say the word I'll send her an Invitation at once." Mr. Penny was driving a nail into one, of the kitchen chairs which had for some time needed repairing. " T seema to rae, Phoebe," said he, ' a s if there never was time when it's real convenient for mother to coine." Mrs. Penny sighed. "I know it, Josh," Bhe replied; "I've been awful mean about tbat visit, but aoon's* the milk's attended to I'll set right down and ask her to come; and—and—I'll give her the best room and goffer the piller cases a purpose. I can't do no more?" "No," Mr. Penny stammered, run< ning his fingers through his long, reddish hair in a dazed kind of way. 'Mother's a little peculiar, likes powerful well to have her own way. You'll humor her, Phoebe?" Mrs. Penny was hidden from sight behind the door as she answered, "Yes, Josh." Josiah, with his hands buried deep in his pockets, went slowly down the lane leading to the bain. Phoebe watched him, shading her eyes with one hand from the setting suu, and then reentering the house began to prepare their early supper. A knock at the door caused her to start, and, as if caught in a sin, she wiped away from her pushed cheeks the^ last traces of tears, then called out cheerfully: "Come in!" "Why, Mrs. Wlgger!" exclaimed she, brightening as the door opened to admit an elderly woman. Her shrewd black eyes were full of keen Intelligence. "If I ain't glad to see you!" cried Phoebe. "A talk with you always chirks me up when I'm blue. It seems to me as if you was a kind of mother to me." o "What 'pears to be the matter with you, my dear?" Mrs. Penny hesitated. ' "Mother's comin' to pay us a visit," said she at last, a little irrelevantly, as it might appear. "You don t mean Josiah's mother, ol*> Mis' Penny?" "Yes, I do," replied Phoebe limply. The elder woman relaxed lier hold on the arms of the chair and, throwing her head back against the padded pillow, began to rock violently^ "My lands!" she exclaimed. "You let me know when she's gone home, and I'll come along and take up what's left of you on a dustpan. I know Ann tiliza Penny well; there ain't one thing about her I ain't pizen well acquainted with, and she's one of the cantankerlngest, iaterferingest, all 'round, aHfireddest old woman I tver—" "Hush!" exclaimed Phoebe, with her finger on her lips. The sound of her husband's approaching footsteps upon. the gravel path had reached her ears. Mrs. Wigger made a long visit. She took tea^with Mr. Penny and his wife, but no further opportunity for confidential talk occurred between the two women until, as she bade Phoebe Kood-night at the door, she managed, in squeezing her hand, to whisper: "I dun no as you'll set any great store by my telttn' you of It, Phoebe, but caraway seeds in cake always brings on a sick spell in Mis' Penny. I know it, because I've heard her say them was the only times she ever had a bilious attack, and when she had one of them 8110¾ Very partik'lar about betn' home." eyes meditatively on a little closet, the door of which stood invitingly open, revealing shell after shelf of neatly arranged dlahea and glass jars containing preserves. She arose, and walking to it, stood for some time examining the labels on the jars, finally pausing with her hand on one which was marked "Caraway seeds." Taking It down with a hauf smile on her lips, she glanced over her shoulder |*through the door into the next reom. Then crossing the floor she noiselessly closed it, and after rolling up her sleeves opened all the draughts la the atove. When Josiah came in to ask his wife for a pair of scissors about an hour later, he was surprised to hear her voice singing, while with deft fingers she was taking from the oven a beautifully browned cake. That night at supper Josiah lifted the snowy cover of the old-fashioned silver cake-basket and pushed It toward his mother. Pride shone In his eye. "I'll bet a cent there ain't a woman In the country can beat that," he ex- It was the end of the second week of Mrs. Penny's visit, and the effects Of It were already visible upon the face of her daughter-in-law, -whose worst fears were verified. Things might easily have been better, but they could not have been much worse without an open declaration of war between the two women. ' Ungracious in manner, angular in appearance, she sat bolt upright in the cane rocker from early morning till bedtime, criticising and Interfering with Phoebe, or nagging at Josiah, who was showing a wonderful agility in disappearing immediately after meals. On this particular^ morning Mrs. Penny had tasted everything on the neatly-spread breakfast table with aggressive disapproval. The old wo^man took up her knitting and sat down by the dining room window. Phoebe saw that she was comfortably settled, then left the room, carrying with her a pilo of heavy dishes. Th£ tears trickled through Phoebe's fingers and dropped I". •r' tiny •alt feUt on the t i t t h e n (able. Sad- 4t*Jy eae looked up and fixed her "I Want You to Hitch Right Up, Josiah." claimed; then, less assuredly, "less it's yourself, mother." The old lady straightened her glasses and lifted out a piece of the temptingly browned delicacy. "Caraway seed!" she cried suspiciously; "I've my doubts about eatin'*1 it. These rich cakes used to make me sicker'n a dog, especially when the butter ain't sweet and the seeds la from a man who don't know 'em from hen corn." Phoebe smiled. She seemed to have regained her usual sweet temper. "I'll guarantee the butter," she said, "and as to the seeds, the man I bought them from is pretty good ways from a fool. How does it taste, mother?" "Fair to raiddlin'," grunted Mrs. Penny. "I've tasted worse and I've et better. You young folks put In too much shortenin'. Give me another piece, Josiah. 8orne one must eat it up or you'll be feedin' it to the pigs." Wben breakfast was ready next morning Josiah and Phoebe were much surprised to see his mother enter the room dressed for a journey, and her head crowned by a funereal looking black bonnet. "I want you to hitch right up, Josiah," she exclaimed, turning her back on the table and throwing herself In the cane rocker. "I ain't feelin' well this mornin', and I think there's one of them sick spells of mine comin' on. I I" ain't got my bottle of 'Baasett'i ftfl* ture' with me. *I guess r i l go home." "We vwtiA M B 4 for th* boWle," t*g geBted her ton weakly. ' "No, I guess not," insisted Mrs. Penny. "I'll be better at- home. I think llke'e not 'twas that heavy seed cake set on my stunwaick." Phoebe hid her face behind the coffee- pot, but said nothing. As the tip of the funereal bonnet worn by the old woman disappeared over the hill which lay between the house and the main road, Mrs. Wigger'a qualutly gowned figure made Its appearance at the gate. Phoebe, Pressed in a blue-and-white gingham, stood in the e>pen door. She was shading her eyes with her hand, and her face was wreathed in smiles. "Who's that Josiah's drivin' off in the buggy?" asked the vilstor, sitting down on the lower step of the back piazza, and moving violently to and fro the palm-leaf fan she carried. "It's mother-in-law," replied the girl. She looked mischievously at the old lady, and added: "She's got a sick spell." The piercing black eyes of the elder woman wer« turned full on Phoebe's face. "Cake?" she asked, tersely. Mrs. Penny nodded. "H'm!" exclaimed Mrs. Wlgger, in telligently. "Well, I'm right glad yon done it." She shook all over with suppressed laughter. As Josiah returned, after a long and dusty ride, to his home, he met Mrs. Wigger leaving the house. She stopped and, holding out a black-mittened hand, remarked: "It's a drefful pity wour mother had to go home right in the middle of her visit." Josiah looked quizzically at his wife and, giving a nervous hitch to his trousers, stammered: "Yes, yest; so 'tis a drefful pity." Then, as he walked into the cheery kitchen and the appetizing odor of freshly-made gingerbread greeted his nostrils, he expanded his chest and drew a long breath. "What's the matter, Josiah?" asked Phoebe, smiling at him from behind a large dish of potatoes that she was placing upon the table. "My lands!" ejaculated Mr. Penny, "the Lord knows, I've got more a p a - tite for a meal of victuals than I've had for two weeks." Vegetable Horsehair. Not long ago the farmers and cultivators in Algeria often went to considerable expense to destroy the dwarf palms which abound In that part of Africa. Now, thanks to the constant progress of practical science, these same once despised plants have become a source of wealth and are consequently cultivated in their turn. Their leaves furnish fibers from which, by very simple processes, is produced a substitute for horsehair in the manufacture of mattresses and of the filling for cushions, chairs and so forth. Other plants likewise fur nish fibers which are utilized for a similar purpose, but the African dwarf palm at present holds the lead In this industry.—Youth's Companion.

On, the eve of the unveiling the municipal council, presided over by the mayor, repaired to the foot of the statue to examine and see IX it should be accepted. "Are you not going to tear off this green mold?" asked the mayor of the sculptor. "But, monsieur," replied the sculptor, "that is verdigris." "Verdigris! Verdigris!" sal* the mayor. "I understand that; very well, ^arbleu! I know that this is verdigris; but it is dirty. if I had a kitchen outfit of that color I would have it scoured. That must be cleaned up. You'll have to make that shine." "But, monsieur—" At that moment a member of the. council having struck the body of the bronze horse with hia cane, they all cried out: "This sounds hollow!" "Your bronze ia hellow, monsieur," said the mayor. The unhappy sculptor then took great pains to explain that all bronze statues were hollow. The mayor maintained an air of defiant incredulity, and as he passed around the monument said: "It appears to me you have hardly detailed the hair in the tr.IL" This was too much for the sculptor. "I wished," he said, "to screw natural hair Into his tall like the hair uaed in children's hobby horses. It would have taken six months to have done so, and I reflected that it would have cost you too much."

"The latest sensation in Seoul is that measures are being taken to find a consort for the prince imperial; although he is only 11 years of age. There is talk of the daughter of the present prime minister, but whether that Is by the desire of the prime minister himself or at the suggestion of Lady Om seems to be uncertain." Ail Help to Build Church. At Marlpit Hill, near Edenbridge, England, a new mission church is being constructed on remarkably economical lines. Ladles dug out the foundations, and the villagers are devoting their spare time to the work of building, the gerater part of the materials being the gift of friend* MORRO CASTLE AT HAVANA A Deserted Village. The site of the erstwhile flourishing village of Brendan is represented by a few gaunt stone chimneys, a stray cluster of roofless cottages, a dilapidated Dissenting chapel, a ghostly railway station and one fair-sized shop, which serves the needs of the scattered community living on the Brendqn Hills, says H. O. Archer, In t,h*i Wide World Magazine. But for many years the deserted village was left just as it was when the miners occupied It, and as such presented an extraordinary sight—silent, grass grown streets of closed houses, shops, inns and places of worship. It was only comparatively recently that the buildings were razed and the materials of which they were composod sold and carried away. To-day the most tangible relic is found at the junction of the roads just outside the village—a quaint, square, plain building, ove"r the porched entrance to which is the v»ord "Beulah," and the date of erection, 1861. This is one of the little chapels built for the miners. No attempt has been made to preserve it from decay, and not so long ago the pedestrians could stroll in and find the sunlight streaming through the translucent windows and their borders of colored glass, making the interior grotesquely gay. The pulpit and pews then remained, and many of the cards affixed to the book-rests and Inscribed with the seat-holders' names were yet to be seen. A Handy Orate.

By a simple movement the housekeeper can transfer the fire in •he kitchen grate to the sitting room grate. Having cooked the dinner, the housewife raises a slide at the back of the kitchen grate. The slide is flush with the wall which separates kitchen from Bitting room, and by simply rajsing a lever the fire In the kitchen grate is tilted into the sitting room grate. At the entrance of the harbor at Havana, Cuba, stands the famous Morro Castle, celebrated In the history of the island.

A school of big flsh swam up Novae bay, near Sag Harbor, L. I., last week and investigated the antics of some bigger fish of a variety unknown to them, which were cutting straight lines from a torpedo boat to a bull'seye target out in the bay. They learned that the strange-looking fish were not sharks and that they swam much faster than anything the big ?ish ever saw before. When they got in front of one of the queer flsh It cut straight through them and left many mangled big flBh to float ashore and tell the story. This explained why one of the torpedoes v/as, observed zigzagging curiously before It struck the target.

The yielS of grata will be about 80,000,000 bushels and the price the farmers wlli.realize for it will be upwards of seventy mlUia* dollars. The oat crop wag foe* a* most places, and the crop o# will be very remunerative, know of the generally una* conditions during t h e Beeding, growing and rjpenlng period In the United States during the past season, will look with righteous distrust on any statement Intended to give the impression that Western Canada conditions were so much different. Generally, they were not, but the conditions of a highly recuperative soil, long and continuous sunshine, are conditions possessed by Western Canada and not possessed by any other country on the Continent. This is why it is possible to record today a fairly successful crop, when in most other places the opposite is the case. The yield in all grams is less than last year, but the higher prices obtained more than offset any falling off In the yield. Take for instance the Province of Saskatchewan the wheat crop will be worth $21,13&,OO0. Last year the same crop was 35 per cent, larger and the quality better. The yield was worth $24,000,000. Oats and barley are very important factors in all three central Provinces. -At Gladstone, H*JV itoba, returns from one farm were* P R per acre from the wheat land, $3|.' acre from oats, and S30 per acre barley. The yield of wheat at Dauphin, Manitoba, was 20 to 24 bushels to the acre but not of a very good grade, but the yield of barley in that section was good and so was the quality and price. At Meadow Lea, Manitoba, 16 to 20 bushels to the acre were thrashed, bringing a round dollar on the market. At Oak Lake, Manitoba, on some fields where 21 bushels were expected, twelvo and fifteen Was the result; others again where twenty was looked for gave twenty-two to twenty, five. One special patch south of town on J. M. McFarlane's farm went as high as thirty bushels to the acre. At Sheho, Saskatchewan, oats yielded from 60 to 65 bushels to the acre. Sam Wunder threshed 2,500 bushels from forty acres. The sample is good and weighs well. At Lloydmlnster, Saskatchewan, W. Bibby threshed 97 bushels of oats to the acre, and two others were but little behind. Wheat here reached 35 bushels. At Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, from a quarter section all in crop, Alex. McKlnhon of Ingleside threshed an average of 33 bushels No. 1 Northern. I. J. Grant had 190 acres, yielding «,000 bushels of the same grade. These illustrations taken from widely distant districts (and thousands of others could be produced) show that the year 1907 has not felt the serious effects from severe winter, late spring, or unfavorable conditions during the growing season that might have been antitcpated.

Man is the only animal tfcgt sleep* on ita back, says the New Xprk Pra*». Many fuUninla sleep on their aide*, bat moat sleep prone—that la, face ttrwa. Doss nerer dream when prone, but Invariably do so when sleeping ** their aide. All of ua from the Jflffntry have seen Bung, the hound, eefeelag rabbits in his sleep. An ani- 31 would be perfectly helpless if it pt en its back. And so is helpleM in that position. If some other fellow wants a fortune let him invent a yillow tiiat will allow a<»an or woman of child to sleep face down without having to twist the neck nearly out of joint. We still style it the "back-up cure" and introduce it la all homes. There is no excuse for lying en the back and keeping the sptne hot all night, while the front of the body—the abdomen, the stomach, the chest, the throat, etc.—is allowed to become chilled. A hot spine is a disease generator. And, on the other ( hand, a cold spine is death. Snoring is an infernal nuisance to every one except the snorer. People who sleep on their fronts never snore. Those who sleep on their backs invariably do. The palate as we know it is the roof of the mouth and the floor of the nose. Some style it the hard palate. Back near the throat is the soft palate. When you sleep on yo»r back this gets down about the breathing apparatus and you snore. Some'snores are worse than the midnight bowl of a hyena. Never marry a Woman that snores. Ask her before Jjtu propose if she is addicted to snor is%, and if she says "yea" avoid iter. It is much easier to relax when sleeping on your front than when sleeping on your back. And what we all need after touching the bed at night is relaxation. It is a billion pities that seme scientist cannot teach the art of relaxing. Our strenuous life, of course, is not blameless iu this matter. We go to bed in excitement, and the nerves are strung all night. That is to say, we go to bed in full tune, liko a piano, and cannot possibly let the strings down. Therefore we do not rest. Could we relax we could eleep four or five hours and arise refreshed; but as we cannot relax, we groan and dream and sweat and roll over and have remorse for eight or nine hours, and get up with a swelled head. Every man and woman iu this country was brought up with the notion that it the feet were higher than the head in sleeping all the blood would rush to the hetfd and cause strangulation. This is the veriest rot. Advanced physicians now advocate the. elevated feet for the cure of insomnia. Hang your legs over the footboard, get rid of your pillow, and go to sleep like an iiffant. You are on your feet all day and half the night. Stand on your head the rest of the night and let the blood circulate the other way. Maybe your brain needs it. Famous Collector of Animals. W. T. Hornaday, collector of animals, was the originator of the zoological gardens at. Washington, and is now director of affairs at the New York zoo. -5>rof. Hornaday is primarily responsible for the change in museum methods that enables one now to see a bird or animal as it actually appeared in life and with something of its natural surroundings, instead of rows of stuffed birds in glass cases. He has been sent to all parts of the world, collecting, and has written a book of his adventures in the jungle. Aside from the subject of animals, his one hobby is temperance. The ravages of rum was what impressed him most among the savages. Cauudloo Ma4» Humor of What Wat ' A»#ro«*Mafl Tcagtdy.

Samuel Shadwell, a touchy old man living in an Indiana village, had a pane of glass broken in his house one night not long ago and next day he, had a ten-year-old girl named Minnie Dayton arrested for it. When the case was called in court he was asked how he knew It was Minnie. He admitted that he didn't see her, but heard her giggle. When asked if her giggle was different from that of any other girl he said it was, but he couldn't tell why. Neither could he imitate the giggle, and he lost his case. We all know what a girl's giggle is, but if any of us were askod to give an imitation of it we'd probably fail. A boy may titter, but when it comes to giggling only a girl can do that. Ambiguous. A Washington correspondent who used to run a newspaper in Iowa tells how the heavy advertiser of the town once entered the editorial offices and, with nnger and disgust depicted in every line of his face, exclaimed: '•That's a fine break you people have made in my ad. this week!" "What's the trouble?" asked the editor, in a tone calculated to mollify the indignant one. "Read it and see!" commanded the advertiser, thrusting a copy of the paper inJhe editor's face. The latTer read: "If you want to have a fit wear blank's shoes."— Harper's Weekly. French Police a Surprise. "Well, how did you enjoy yourself in Paris?" they asked of Mrs. Maloney when she got home.

At times I would have such a gnawing in my stomach that I actually feared I had a—I dislike to write or even think of what I feared. "Seeing an account of Grape-Nuts I decided to try it. After a short time I was satisfied the trouble was not the awful thing I feared but was still bad enough. However, I was relieved of a bad case of dyspepsia by changing from improper food to Grape-Nuts. "Since that time my bowels have been as regular as a clock. I had also noticed before I began to eat Grape- Nuts that I was becoming forgetful of where I put little things about the house, which was very annoying. "But since tho digestive organs have become strong from eating Grape- Nuts, my memory is good and my mind as clear as when I was young, and I am thankful."

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the conquering of -woman's dread enemy Tumor. The growth of a tumor is so insidious that frequently its presence is wholly unsuspected until it i s well advanced. So called "wandering pains" may come from i t s early stages or the presence of danger may be made manifest by excessive monthly periods accompanied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thigh. If you have mysterious pains, if there Ire indications of inflammation or displacements, secure a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, right away aud begin its use. The following letters should convince every suffering woman of its virtue, and that It actually does conquer tumors. Mrs. May Fry, of 836 W. Colfax Ave., South Rend, Ind., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — "I take great pleasure in writing to thank you for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I also took the Blood Purifier in alternate doses with the Compound. Your medicine removed a cyst turner of four years' growth, which three of the best physicians declared I had. They had eaid that only an operation could help me. I am very thankful that I followed a friend's advice and took your medicine. It has made me a strong and well woman and I so.all recommend it as long as I irve." Mrs. E. F. Hayes, of 26 Ruggles S t , Boston, Mass., writes: "I have been under different doctors' treatment for a long time without relief. They told me I had a fibroid tumor, my abdomen was swollen and I suffered with great pain. 1 wrote to you for advice, you replied and I followed your directions carefully and to-day I am a well woman. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system." Mrs. S. J. Barber, of Scott, N. Y., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — "Sometime ago I wrote you for advice about a tumor which the doctors thought would have to be removed. Instead I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and to-day am a well woman." Mrs. M. M. Funk, Vandergrift, Pa., writes: Dear MrB. Pinkham: — "I had a tumor end Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound removed it for me after two doctors had given me up. I was sick four years before I began to take the Compound. I now recommemd Lydia E. Pjnkham's Vegetable Compound far and near." Such testimony as above is convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for Tumor Growths as well as other distressing ills of women, and such symptoms an Rearing-down Sensations, Displacements. Irregularities and Backache, ietc. Women should remember that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that Is curing so many women. Don't forget to insist upon it when some druggist asks you to accept something else which he calls "just as good." W . Li IIO UGLAS $3.00 & $3.50 SHOES " * T " SHOES FOR EVERY MEMBER OF T H E FAMILY.

People nowadays tlo not regard tbe comet as one of those signs that forerun the death or fall of kings, but the superstition was still current In the time of Queen Elizabeth, though, to the amazement of her courtiers, the queen calmly scorned It. It was also thought that if the sovereign would refrain from looking at the malignant celestial paflM*o£no harm would come to her. On one o^asloii Elizabeth's attendants shut and curtulned her windows, but her majesty, an might have been expected, with "a courage answerable to the greatness of her estate," caused them to t>e opened, crying ns she looked up: *'Jacta est alea— the die Is cast!" Then, like King Knut on the seashore, she read her people a homily, asserting that her "steaflfast hope and confidence were too firmly planted in the providence of God to be blasted or affrighted with those l>eams which either had no ground In nature whereupon to rise or at least no warrant In Scripture to portend the mishaps of princes." ' *Try One of My Bet«l»." j In Slam they don't offer you a cigar or a cigarette, but a betel nut. There every one carries a supply of them in ! a neat little Ivory box, not unlike the I snuffboxes of our ancestors. The betel i nut Is a narcotic, in Its effects not unlike tobacco, but It is much more harmful. Those who chew it suffer from Inflamed gums, and they generally lose their teeth. The betel 1¾ a species of climbing plant, with a leaf not unlike ivy. It yields a crop of nuts, which are ground to a powder. This is mixed with a similar powder derived from the areca nut and made into a paste* which is wrapped In pieces of betel leaf.

"When Horace Vernet, the great French painter of battle scenes, was at the height of his fame," aaid an artist, "when the prices he was getting were enormous, a grizzled old veteran came to him one day and said: " *I want you to make my picture to send home to my son. What, though, is your charge?' " 'How much are you willing to pay?' said Vernet, smiling. M,A franc and a half,' was the answer. " 'Very good.' "And the artist, with a few quick' strokes, dashed off a wonderful sketch of the old man. "The old man paid, tucked tbe sketch under his arm and carried it out triumphantly to a comrade who awaited him outside. " 'But I did wrong not to haggle n bit,' Vernet overheard him say.

NOT TIME FOR TARIFF Postponement of Discussion of Revision of Schedules Until After Presidential Election Urged — N e - c«*sUy for Improving Waterways of th« Country. Washington, Dec. 3.-President Roosevelt in iila annual mea&agt* deala vigorously with matters of national importance, iteferring to the recent disturbance in financial clreleB he points out that tho hoarding of money by the people, Instead of keeping it in sound banks, wa» the first cause of financial stringency and a grave error. He pays a trlbuty to the general honesty of the men engaged In the banking business. After quotations from his laat annual message which dealt with the necessity of governmental regulations, the president asserts that his views have in no way changed and declares U is the duty of the national government to embody tn action the principles lie then expressed. Disclaiming any idea of advocating centralization the president Insists upon the necessity for federal control of the railroads of the country through the interstate commerce commission, and also urge* legislation looking to the proper control of the great business concerns engaged in interstate business, this control to be «K»rci««d for their own benefit and P*o«P«rlty BO 1«M than for the protection of Investors and of the general public. W r a t a Federal Control. Declaring t h a t modern industrial conditions are sm-h that combination is not •>nly iiccesjiary but Inevitable, tho preslient refers to his message of a year ago concerning necessary changes In the antitrust laws, He goes on: "I ask for full power to be given the federal government, because no single state •an by legislation effectually cope with these powerful corporations engaged In Interstate commerce, and, while Jning them full Justice, exact from them in m t u m full justice to others. The conlitions of railroad activity, the conditions of our imnieiihe interstate commerce, are such na to make the central ton eminent alono competent to exercise full mptrvisioti and control. "The antitrust law should he made both more cflhient and more in harmony with Actual conditions. It should he HO amendd an h> forbid only the kind of comhlnufion which doe.-* harm to the Kenerril public, such amendment to he accompanied by, or to he an Incident of, a Krant of sirper. i-.HI y pnwer to the government over these big corporations engaged tn interstate htn-ine:;s. Tills should be accompanied by provision for the compulsory publication of accounts and the .subjection of hooks nnd papers to the inspection of the government offleials. A beginning lifts Mrendy been made for such supervision by the establishment of the bureau of corporations. "An.on? tl-.e points to he aimed at •hou!I be the prohibition of unhealthy competition, such as by rendering service fit an actual loss for the purpose of crushing out competition, the prevention of Inflation of capital, and the prohibition of a corporation's making exclusive trade with itself a condition of having any trade with Itself. Reasonable agreements between, or combinations of, corporations chould be permitted, provided they a r e first submitted to nnd approved by some appropriate government body. i.tkr- \ m i n i m i B a n k Supervision. "The congress has the power to charter corporations to engage In interstate and foreign enmmeree, and a general law can be enacted under the provisions of whirh existing corporations could take out federal charters and new federal corporation* cnu]d be created. An essential provision of mieh a law should be a method of predetermining by some federal board or commission whether the applicant, for a federal charter was an association or combination within the restrictions of the. federal law. The supervision established might be analogous to that now exercised over national banks. At least, the antitrust act' should he supplemented by specific prohibitions of the methods which experience has shown have h«-rn of most service in enabling monopolistic combinations to crush out competition. The real owners of a corporation should he compelled to do business in their own name. The right to hold stock in other corporatkMlfl should hereafter be denied to interstate corporations, unless on approval by the proper government officials, and a prerequisite to such approval should be the listing with the government of all owners and stockholders, both by the corporation owning such the corporation in which OwriPd." After calling attention which the legislation he confer upon the country, says: "Those who fenr, Kon. the extension of federal activity will do well to study the history not only of the national hanking act, but of the purefood law. and notably the meat inspection law recently enacted.

' Qff'jjt* rruestion of the currency ¾resident calls attention to his last lial message wherein he .pointed that our present system is ilefeetive showing the need of a rhangp. In mensage he puid: "Natloaal banks shooM bn permitted to hwue a specified proportion of their cap- SVNOPS19 t h e the this stock such and stock bv Is to the benefits urges would the president from any reat h e anont and that ltal in notes of a given kind, the issue to be taxed a t so high a rate as to drive the notea back when not wanted in legitimate trude. This plan would not permit the issue of currency to give banku additional pruHt», but to>mceL Ihu t-incrgency presented by times of stringency. I do not say that thla is the right system. 1 only udvance it to emphasize my belief thut there itf need for the adoption of tiumv. system which shall be automatic and open to a41 sound banks, so as to uvold all possibility of discrimination and favoritism. Such a plan would tend tu prevent the spaums of high money and bpeculutlon which now obtain in the New York market; for at present there is too much currency at certain ueatjomj of <h« year, and ltu accumulation at New Yurk tempts bankers to lend it a t low rates for opoculative purposes; whereas at other timea when the crops a r e being moved there 1» urgent need for a large but temporary increase in the currency supply. It must never be forgotten that this question concerns business men generally quite au much as bankers; especially la this true of atockmen, farmers and business men in the west; for at present a t certain seasons of the year the diffetence in interest rates between the east and west is from six to ten per cent., whereas in Canada the corresponding difference is but two per cent. Any plan must, of course, guard the interests of western and southern bankers as carefully as It guards the interests of New York or Chicago bankers, and must be drawn from the standpoints of the fanner and the merchant nu less than from the standpoints of the city bunker and country banker." R e p e a t s HCCUIUUIOQIIHIIOU*. The president continues: "I a g a i n u r g e on the c o n g r e s s need of i m m e d i a t e a t t e n t i o n to matter. We need a g r e a t e r elasticity in our c u r r e n c y ; provided, of course, tha't w e recognize t h e even g r e a t e r need of a safe a n d secure currency. T h e r e m u s t a l w a y s be t h e most rigid examination by t h e national a u t h o r i - ties. Provision should be made for a n emergency currency. The e m e r g e n c y issue .should, of course, be made w i t h an effective g u a r a n t y , and^upon conditions carefully prescribed by t h e government. Such emergency issue must be based on adequate securities a p - prover! by the government, a n d must be issued under a heavy tax. This would p e r m i t currency being issued when t h e demand' for it w a s urgent, while s e c u r i n g its r e t i r e m e n t a s the demand fell off. It is w o r t h investig a t i n g to d e t e r m i n e w l a t h e r officers and directors of national b a n k s should ever be allowed to Joan to themselves. T r u s t companies u hou hi be suoject to t h e s a m e supervision a.a bank*; legislation to this effect should he <. n.u i.ed for the District of Columbia and t h e territories." TXot T i m e for Tariff Din CM a* ion. On the subject of the tariff the president declares himself in favor of postponing all consideration of the questlon until after the presidential election. He say:;: "The income account of the nation 1» in a most satisfactory condition. For the six fiscal years ending with tho first of July last, the total expenditures and revenues of the national government, exclusive of the postal revenues and exi>enditures, were in round numbers, revenues, $3,403,0^,(10((, and expenditures. $3,::73,000. The net excess of income over e\p ndlturea, including in the latter the fifty millions expended for the Panama canal, was fl'ie,1)00,000 for th<* six year-*, an average of about $:J1,(IOO,(H«) a year. This represents an approximation between inionic and outgo which it would lie hard to improve. The satisfactory working of Hie present tariff law has been chiefly responsible for tliis excellent .-,bowing. Nevertheless, there is an evident and constantly growing feeling among our people that the time is rapidly approaching when our system of revenue h--r slatlon must be revised. "This country is definitely to the protective system and to uproot it could not but c spread industrial <li;;;ist< r, words, the principle of tue prese; iff law could not with wisd >: changed. Hut in a country of phenomena] g r o w t h as ours it is probably well t h a t every iluzi n years or so the tariff laws should he c a n fully scrutinized so as to is c that no excessive or improper benefits a r e conferred thereby, t h a t proper revenue, is provided, and that our foreign t r a d e is encouraged. There must alivays be a is a minimum a tariff which will not only allow for the collection of a n ample revenue b u t which will at b a s t m a k e good t h e difference in cost of production here and abroad; t h a t s. the difference in t h e labor cost here and abroad, for the well-being of t h e w a g e - w o r k e r m u s t ever he a cardinal point of American policy. The sole consideration should be to see t h a t t h e s u m total of c h a n g e s represent tho public good. This means t h a t the subject can not with wisdom be dealt with in the year p r e c e d i n g a presidential election, because as a. m a t t e r of fact experience has conclusively shown that a t such a time it is impossible to get m m to t r e a t it. from the standpoint of the public good. Tn my j u d g m e n t t h e wise time to deal with the m a t t e r is immediately after such election." Income nnd I n h r r i t n n r c T a x . There h a s been no c h a n g e in mind of the president concerning advisability of an income tax and inheritance tax. Tn the message s a y s : "When our tax t a w s arc revised question of an Income tax and an heritance t a x should receive t h e careful a t t e n t i o n of our legislators. In my J u d g m e n t both of these taxes should be part of our system of federal taxation. T speak diffidently about the income tax because one scheme for an income tax was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court; while in addition it is a difficult t a x to administer in its practical w o r k i n g . Nevertheless, a g r a d - uated income tax of the proper type would be a desirable feature of federal taxation, and it is to be hoped t h a t one may be devised which the s u p r e m e court will declare constitutional. The i n h e r i t a n c e tax, however, is both a far better method ol* taxation, and far more important for the purpose of having the f n r t u m s of the country bear in proportion to their Increase in size a corresponding increase and burden o»" i.vxation. Tile governnn nt has the a b - solute right to decide as to the terms upon which a man shall receive the bequest or devise from another, and this point In t h e devolution of p r o p e r t y I. especially a p p r o p r i a t e for t h e imposition of a tax.'' Due Knforceiaent of l.rm. On t h e m a t t e r ot the impartial t n - committed any effort wideother ! t a I ' - ll h e s u c h U S i In the the an he the inforcement of t h e l a w s t h e message says: "A few y e a r s a g o there w a s loud complaint t h a t t h e law could not be Invoked a g a i n s t wealthy offenders. There is no such complaint now. T h e course of the d e p a r t m e n t of justice d u r i n g the last few y e a r s h a s been such a s to m a k e it evident t h a t no m a n s t a n d s above the law, t h a t no c o r p o r a t i o n is so wealthy t h a t It cannot b* held to account. E v e r y t h i p g t h a t can be done under t h e e x i s t i n g law, a n d with t h e existing s t a t e of public opinion, which so profoundly influences both the c o u r t s and juries, has been done. But t h e laws themselves need s t r e n g t h e n - ing tn more t h a n one i m p o r t a n t point; they should be made more definite, so t h a t no honest m a n can be led u n w i t - tingly to b r e a k them, a n d so t h a t t h e real w r o n g d o e r can be readily punished. "The t w o g r e a t evils in t h e execution of our criminal laws to-day a r e sentimentally a n d technically. F o r t h e latter the remedy must come from the hands of t h e legislatures, t h e counts and the l a w y e r s . The other must depend for its c u r e upon t h e g r a d u a l g r o w t h of a sound public opinion which shall insist t h u t r e g a r d for t h e law a n d the demands of reason shall control all other Influences a n d emotions in t h e j u r y box. LSoth of these Anvils m u s t be removed or public discontent w i t h the criminal law will continue." L'se of Injunctions. Iteferring to the question of the use and abuse of injunctions the president declares: "Instances of abuse in the granting of injunctions in labor disputes continue to occur, and the reseutrnent In the minds of those who feel that their rights are being invaded and their liberty of action and of speech unwarrantably restrained continues to grow. Much of the attack on the use of the process of Injunction is wholly without warrant; but I am constrained to express the belief that tow some of it there is warrant. This Question is becoming more and more of prime importance, and unless the courts will themselves deal with it in effective manner, it Is certain ultimately to demand some sort of legislative action. I earnestly commend to the attention of the congress tliis matter, so that some way maybe devised which will limit the abuse of injunctions and protect those rights which from time to time it unwarrantably invades." Among the recommendations made in the message are for federal inspection of railroads, the establishment of an employers' liability act, and for the extension of the present eight-hour law by the government. In I n d u s t r i a l Dinputea. The president favors compulsory investigation by the national government of industrial disputes, saying: "Strikes arid lockouts, with their attendant loss and suffering, continue to increase. For the five years ending December 31, 1¾½. the number of strikes was greater than those In any previous ten years and was double the number in tho preceding live years. These figures indicate the increasing need of providing some machinery to deal with this class of disturbances in' the interest alike of the employer, the employe and the general public. I renew my previous recommendation that the congress favorably consider the mutter of creating the machinery for compulsory investigation of such industrial controversies as are of sufficient magnitude and of sufficient concern to the people of the country as a whole to warrant the federal government in taking action." The recent strike of the telegraphers is cited as an instance where such power might profitably have been used. ( hild Labor Kvil. The necessity of eiiecking the evil of child labor is pointed out with much directness. On the relation between capital and labor the president asserts that public opinion must be aroused in condemnation of evil practices on both shies, The work of the department of agriculture Is given high praiac- and the importance of the department pointed out. Cooperation with farmers' associations is urged. The necessity of a national system of inspection and grading of grain, to correct evils complained of, is also pointed out. National W a t e r Illnhvvnyx. Showing the necessity for the development of the national water highways the message says: "Our great river systems should he developed as national water highways; the Mississippi, with its tributaries, standing first in importance, and the Columbia second, although there are many others of Importance on the Pacific, tho Atlantic and the gulf slopes. The national government should undertake this work, and I hope a beginning will be made in th^ present congress; aiml the greatest of all our rivers, the Mississippi, should receive especial attention. Prom the great lakes to the mouth of the Mississippi there should be a deep waterway, with deep waterways loading from it to the east and west. Such a waterway would practically mean the extension of our coast line into the very heart of our country. It would be of incalculable benefit to our people. "As an incident to creating the deep waterway down the Mississippi, the government should build along its whole lower length levees which, taken together with the control of the headwaters, will at once .and forever put a complete stop to all threat of floods in the immensely fertile Delta region. The territory lying adjacent to the Mississippi along its lower course will thereby become one of the most prosperous and populous, as it. already is one of the most fertile, farming regions In all the world." "I have appointed an inland waterways commission to study and outline a comprehensive scheme of development along all the lines indicated. loiter T shall lavits report before the congress." I'uhllr l*an<U. Kxtension of the work of Irrigation and the reclamation of waste lands Is advocated, together with a revision of the present land laws in the Interest of the actual home-maker. The unlawful fencing of public lands for private grazing, the president says, must be stopped, but it. the same time the necessity which occasioned it must be provided for. Several plans arc recommended. Conservatism of the mineral wealth of be country, ami t)>e neces.-nty for the ; orest-rvatlon of the forests to prevent a | limber famine, are dwelt upon. Drastic I a Hon by the congress is urged. > Would HeiH-nl IJntj en «o»;il I'nlp. ; The president declares in favor of the » r.-pcnl of 1he doty on wood pulp, at the .iu:e tiu'c d c i a r l m ; f';..'t it should if p .ssible be ,u i eiopanic i bv an ogreeie.i": t .vltli iV.u.ulu thai there sh a i d bo no e\- ;• a*! duty on Can.eli.in pulp wood.

On the uuet-lions of postal aaviugs banks and tho establishment of a parcels post system the message says: "I commend to the favorable consideration of the congress a postal savings bank system us recommended by tiie postmaster general. "I further commend to the congress the consideration of the postmaster general's recommendation, for an exb-nslon of the parcel post, especially on the rural routes.

" W h a t ' s his name?" he asked one of the policemen. The injured man, who had heard Ade and who mistook him for the timekeeper employed by the contractor, rolled his eyes in a disgusled way. "What d'ye think o' t h a t ? " he muttered. "I'm goin' to be docked for the few minutes I lose goin' to the hospital!"—Success. The Reason of It.

Chip wants schoolin', n' she's got to study night 'n' day for the next eight montlia. If you go back with, 'em, an' go gallivantin' 'round with her. oz you're sure to, it won't be no help to her. I've given you two all the chances for weavin' the threads o' 'fectshun I could this summer, an' now let's you 'n' 1 turn to and make some money. I've asked your uncle "n" aunt. They're willin', 'n' now, what, do ye Bay?" Few counlry boys with a love for trappin, such as Ray had, ever had a more alluring prospect spread before them. He knew Old Cy was right in all his conclusions, and almost without hesiiation he agreed to the plan. It was far-sighted wisdom on Old Cy's part, however, in not giving Ray time to reflect, else tho magnet of Chip's eyes on the one hand, and eight mouths of separation on the other, would have proved too strong, and trap-setting anci gum-gathering, with |r>00 as reward, would have failed. As it was, he came near weakening at. the last moment when the canoes were packed and Angle and Chip came to take their seats in them. He and his crude, rude, \ et. winsome little sweetheart had suffered a brief preliminary parting the evening previous. A good many sweet and silly nothings had been exchanged, also promises, and now the boy's heart was very sore. Chip was more stoical. Her life at Tim's Place and contact with Old Tomah had taught, her reserve, and yet. when she turned for the last possible look at Old Cy and Ray, waving good-by at the landing, a misi of tears hid them. Old Cy's face was also a study. To him these parting clouds were as the white ones hiding the sun; yet he felt" their chill. His own life shadow was lengthening. He had now but a brief renewal of youth in the lives of these two, and then forget fulness, as he knew full well, and yet. he pitied them. More than that, he had set his hand to guiding Ihe bark of their young lives into the safe harbor of a home, and all feelings of his own subserved to that. "Come, enme, my hoy," he said to Ray as the two turned away, and he noted the lad's sad face, "she's gone now, an' ye'd best, forget, her fer a spell. Ye won't, I know, 'n' she won't; but ye'd best make believe ye do. This ain't no spot fer love-sick spells. We've got work to do, 'n' money to a m ; ye've got the chance o' yer life now, an' me to help ye to it, so brace up 'n' look cheerful. "Think *o' what we got to do to git ready fer winter 'n' six foot o' snow. Think o' the traps we're1 goin' to set, an' the fun o' tcndiii' em. Why, girls ain't in it a minnit with ketchin' mink, marten, otter, an' now 'n' then a lynx or bobcat Then when yo go back Witk a new suit 'n' money in yer pocket, ye'll feel prouder'n a peacoc*, 'n' Chip a-amilln' at ye sweeter'n new maple syrup." Verily Old Cy had the wtsaum of age and the cheerfulness ot morning aunshine. All that day these wilderness-marooned filexids woiked hard. An uui plu stock of birch wood must be cut and split, a shed of poles to cover it must be erected alongside of the cabin, the hermit's log hut was tu be divest ed of its nttiugs, which were to be removed to the new cabin which all were now to occupy. Realizing how vital to their existence the canoes were, Old Cy had also planned a shelter of small logs for them on one aide of the log cabin, that could be locked. Here the canoea niu in use must bo stored at once to guard against a night call from the malignant half-breed. His canoe had been taken aloug by Martin's party, to be left at Tim's Place, for even Hersey would have scorned to appropriate) it. There were dozens of other needs to prepare for during the next two months, all of which were important. An ample supply of deer meat must be secured, to be pickled and smoked. All the partridges they could shoot would bo needed, and later, when south-bound ducks halted at the lake, a few of these would add to their larder. In this connection, also, another need occurred to Old Cy. Trout could be caught all winter in the lake, but live bait must be had, and so a slat car to bo sunk in some swift-running stream, which would hold them, must be constructed, also a scoop of mosquito net to catch them. These minnows were to be found now by the million in every brook, and forethought was Old Cy's watchword. All these duties and details he discussed that first day with Ray, while tfrey worked, for a purpose. Lut the first evening here, with its open fire, yet empty seats, was the hardest to pass. In vain Old Cy enlarged upon the joys of trap-setting once more, and how and where they were to secure gum. In vain he described how deadfalls were built and where they must be placed, how many signs of lynx and wildcat he had seen that summer, and how sure they were to secure some of these valuable furs. Ray's heart was not here. F a r away in some night camp, Chip was thinking of him. Ho knew each day would bear her farther away. No word of "Why Don't Yc Shave?" her safe arrival could reach them now. Long months must elapse ere he and she could meet again, and in prospect, they seemed an eternity. "Come, git yer banjo, my boy," Old Cy ejaculated at. last, seeing Ray's face grow gloomy. "Tune *er up, an' play us suthin' lively. None o' them goody-goody weepin' sort, o' tunes; but give us 'Money Musk' 'n' a few jigs. I'm feelin' our prospects are so cheerful, I'd like to cut, a few pigeon-wings out o' compliment." Hut, Old Cy's hilarity was nearly all put, on. He, too, felt the effect of the empty seats and missed every one that, had gone, and Ray's jig tunes lacked their spirit. He essayed a few, and then quite unconsciously his fingers strayed to "My Old Kentucky Home," and Old Cy's feelings responded. CHAPTER XI. Chip's arrival in Greenvalo produced astonishment, and gossip galore. It began when the stage that "Uncle .Toe" Panics had driven for 20 years started for that village. There were other passengers besides Martin, his wife, and Chip. The sents inside were soon filled, and Chip, seeing a coveted chance, climbed nimhiy to a position beside the driver. "Gee Whittakor," observed one by'- stander to another, as Chip's blackstockinged legs flashed into view, "but that gal's nlmbler'n a squirrel 'n' don't mind showin' nnderpinnin'. I wished I was drivin' that stage. 1*11 bet she's a circus." Uncle Joe soon found her a live companies at least, for he had scarce left the Yj[l}aj|e e , 'R she began."* "Tour hosses are fatter'n Tim's bosses used to be," she said. "Do yo feed 'em on hay and taters':"' Uncle Joe gave her a sideways glance. "Hay and taters," he exclaimed; "we don't feed bosses on tatera down here. Whero'd you come frnn-'.?" "1 used to live at Tim's Place, up in the woods, "u' we fed our bosses on taters, 'u' they had backs sharp 'uuff to split ye." This lime Uncle Joe faced squarely around. "1 kuow all about bosses," she continued glibly. "I used to take lteer on 'em 'a' ride one plowln', an' I've been throwed inore'n a hundred times when we struck roots, an' ye ought to 'a' heerd Tim cuss. I used to cuss just the same, but Mrs. Friable says 1 musu't." "Wal, 1 ijwmv," ejaculated Uncle Joe, realizing that ho had a "case." "What's your name, "n" whar's Tim's Place?" "My name's Chip, Chip McGuiro, only 'tain't, It's Vera; but they alius culled me Chip, an' Tim's Place is ever so far up in t h e woods. I runued away 'cause dad sold me, an' fetched up at Mrs. Frisbie's camp, V she's goin' to eddicato me. My mother got killed when 1 was a kid, 'u' my dad killed 'nother one, too; he's a bad 'un." Uncle Joe gasped at this gory tale of double murder, not being quite sure that the girl was sane. "Hain't they ketched yer dad yit?" he queried. "No, nor they won't," Chip rattled on, as if such killing were a daily occurrence in the woods. "He's a slick 'un, they say, an' now he's got Pete's money, he'll lay lowr." "Worse and worse, and more of it," Uncle Joe thought. "You must 'a' had middlin' lively times up in the woods," he said. "Did yer dad kill anybody else 'sides yer mother 'n' this m a n ? " "He didn't kill mother," Chip returned promptly; "he used to lick her, though, but she got killed in a mill, n' I wlsht it 'ud bin him. I wouldn't 'a' bin an orfln then. Say," she added, as they entered a woods-bordered stretch of road, "did ye ever see spites here?" "Spites," he responded, now more than ever in doubt" as to her sanity, "what's them?" "Why, they's just spites—things ye can't see much of 'ceptin' it's dark. Then they come crawlin' round. They's souls o' animals mostly, Old Tomah says. I've seen thousands on 'em." Uncle Joe shifted 1 : s quid, turned and eyed the girl once more. First, a wild and wofully mixed tale of murder, and then spookish things! Beyond question she had wheels, and he resolved to humor her. "Oh, yes, we see 1hem tilings here now 'n' then," he said, "hut it takes considerable lieker to do it. We hain't had a murder, though, for quite a spell. This is a sorter peaceful neck o' woods yu're comin' to," Hut Chip failed to grasp his quiet humor, and all through that 20-mile autumn day stage ride she chattered on liko a magpie. He soon concluded she was sane enough, however, but the most voluble talker who ever shared his seat. "I never seen the beat, o' her," he said that night at Phinney's store,— the village news agency,—"she clacked every minit from the time we started till we fetched in, an' I never callatcd sich goin's on ez she told about cud ever happen. Thar was murder 'n' runnin' away, 'n' she got. ketched 'n' carried off 'n' fetched back, 'n' a. whole lot o' rcsky business. She believes in ghosts, too, sorter Injun sperits, 'n' she kin swear jist ez easy ez I kin." it seems the Frisbies hev kinder 'dopted her, 'n' I guess they'll hev their hands full. She's a bright 'un, though, but sich a talker!" At Aunt Comfort's spacious, oldfashioned home, where Chip was now installed, she soon began to create the same impression. This had been Angle's former home, and her Aunt. Comfort. Day had been her fostaj- mother. This family, in addition to the new arrival, consisted of Aunt. Comfort, rotund and warm-hearted: Hannah Pettibone, a well-along spinster of angular for*m and temper, thin to an almost painful degree, with a well-defined mustache; and a general nelper on the farm, and a chore boy about Chip's age named Nezer, completed the list. Once included in this somewhat diverse group, Chip hecame an immediate bone of contention. Aunt, Comfort, of course, opened her heart to her at once; but. Hannah closed hers, almost, from the first day, and in addition she began to* nurse malice as well. There was some reason for this, mainly due to Chip's startling freshness of speech. "I thought ye must, be a man weavin' wimmin's clothes, the first time f setye," she said to Hannah the next day after her arrival, and without meaning offense. "It was all on account o' yer little whiskers, 1 guess, i never see a woman with 'em afore. Why don't ye shave?" This was enough; for if there was any one thing more mortifying than all else to Hannah, It was her facial blemish, and a mention of it she considered an intentional insult. ; From this moment u u w u d she hated Chip. Nezer. however, took to her a s a duck to water, and her atory, which he soon, heard, became a real dime novel to him, and not content with one telling, he insisted on repetition. This was also unfortunate for—biased with a vivid imagination and sure to enlarge upon all facts—he soon spread the story with many blood-curdling additions. These stories, with Uncle Joe's corroboration, resulted in a direful tale believed by all. Neighburs ilockud in to see this heroine or many escapades, villagers halted in front of Aunt Comfort's to catch a siyht of this marvel, and so the wonder spread. Angle was, of course, to blame. More impressed with the seriousness of the task she had undertaken than the need uf caution, she had failed to tell Chip she must not talk about herself, and so a woefully distorted history became current gossip. When Sunday came the village church was packed and Parson Jones marveled much at the unexpected increase of religious interest. He had heard of this new arrival, but whan the Frisbie family with Chip, in suitable clothing, entered their pew, the cynosure of all eyes, this unusual attendance was accounted for. And what a stariug-af Chip received! On the church steps a group of both young and old men had awaited her arrival and gazed at her in open-eyed astonishment. All through service she was watched, and not content with this, a dozen or so, men and women, formed a double line outside, awaitin? the Frisbies' exit. Angie also failed to understand the principal cause of this interest. Her last appearance at this church had been as a bride. Naturally that fact would produce some staring, and so the curious and almost rude scrutiny the family received was less noticed by her. Put Chip's eyes were observant. "I don't like goin' to meetln'," she said, "an' bein' stared at like I was a wildcat. I seen 'em grinnln', too, some on em, when we went in, an' one feller winked to another. What ailed 'em?" Her vexations, however, had only just begun, for Angie had seen and made arrangements with Miss Phinney, one of the village school teachers, and the next morning Chip was sent to school. And now real trouble commenced. Not knowing more than how to read and spell short words, and unable to write, she, a fairly well developed young lady, presented a problem which was hard for a teacher to solve. To put her in the class where she belonged was absurd. She must sit with older girls, or look ridiculous. If she recited with the eight-year-old children, the result would be the same, and so a species of private tuition with recitations- at noon or after school became the only possible course and (he one her teacher adopted. This also carried its vexations, for Chip was as tall as Miss Phinney and a little larger. Not one of that band of pupils was over 12. To join in their games was no sport for Chip, while they, having heard about her thrilling experiences, with a hint that she wasn't quite right in her head, felt afraid of her. "I feel so sorry for her," Miss Phinney explained to Angie, a week later, "and yet, I don't, know what to do. She is so big the children won't play with her, or she with them. T am the only one with whom she will talk, and she seems so humble and so grateful for every word. I can't be as stern with her or govern her as I should, on account of her temper and size. "Only yesterday 1 heard screaming at recess, and going out. I found that Chip bad one of the girls by the hair and w7as cuffing her. Tt transpired that this girl had called her an Indian and asked if she had ever scalped anybody. I can't punish such a pupil, and I can't help loving her, so you see she is a sore trial." (TO ISK C O N T I N U E D . ! Dog Jealousy. There Is a strong trait, of j.3alouay in a dog's nature. A story is told of a Birmingham dog that, had been a great, pet in the family until the baby came. There was suspicion that he was jealous, but ho could not be detected In any disrespect to the newcomer. It always happened, however, that, when the dog was left alone with th* baby the baby began to cry. No signs of trouble were ever to be seen upon entering the room, and the dog was always found sleeping peacefully before the fire. Finally one day a peep through the keyhole disclosed the canine rubbing his cold wet nose up and down the baby's back.—Outing Magazine. Hymns as Exponents of Piety. Said Henry Ward Beecher: "Hymns are the exponent of the innermost .jewels which the church has worn, formed into amulets more potent against sadness and sorrow than the most famous charm of the wizard or magician.

For six months she had been pleading with him to buy an automobile. "They are too expensive," he protested for the hundredth time. "If I bought an automobile I would have to Cut down our expenses." "What expenses?" she asked. "Why, table expenses. For instance, if I had an automobile I couldn't afford to have chicken every Sunday." She laughed. 'Why, you goose! If you had an automobile you could run down enough fowls to have chicken every day, to say nothing of big turkeys and nice roasting pigs. Why is it m e n haven't any brains?" And the next, day he hustled around to the nearest dealer and ordered a racing machine. The Worst Was Yet to Come. A southern pulpit orator, one Sunday morning, was describing the experience of the prodigal son. In his endeavor to impress his hearers with the shame and remorse that t a i l young man felt and his desire to cast away his wicked doings, he spofce> thus: "Dis young man got to thinking about his meanness and his misery, and he tuk off his coat and frowed it away. And den he tuk off his vest, and frowed dat away. And den he tuk off his shirt, and frowed dat. away too. And den he come to hisself." A Frank Advertiser.

Indian Monarch of the Mosquito Coast * of Nicaragua Both Far-Seeing ~" and Wise — Refuses tq Grant Concessions. Dr. 1*. E. Flanagan, a former citizen •of *qfcarlotte»vine, VJL, but who ha* fot" tfibe. last five years been living at Cape Oracle, an important town on the east coast of Nicaragua, i» at the Belvedere, says the Baltimore American. T h e doctor is a Mend of Geu. Zehaya, president of the republic of Nicaragua, und ha» been honored by him with several important offices. "There is probably no richer country in the world t'uaa Nicaragua," said Dr. Flanagan. "It is, however, almost in A virgin state, as there has been scarcely any development of itB great resources. President Zelaya, the able and energetic chief executive, is givlsg the country a most e«celleut admlntstration and enjoys the absolute confidence of the people. The natives of the Mosquito coaBt, as my Bection la called, are known a s MosOo, or ftunbo Indians, and are a queer mixture of Indaan, negro and Caucasian ••talents, wit* the native Indian type predominating, though most of them show their strain of Africa*, blood by a kinkiness of the hair, while others arc feir-haired and light of skin, as a reminder of Scotch buccaneer progenitors. Not one Hi fifty of theee Sambos ever slept Ja\# bed and aot more than one in five e**r bandies a piece of money. The older members of the family sleep in hammocks woven from the fibers of the hennequln or the banana stafk, while the juveniles curl up on the floor. They are about as near to nature as any people under t h e sun, for nature supplies theiu with everything necessary to sustain life. "'These Sambos are nominally under the Nicaraguan government, it is true, but they pay direct allegiance to a king, a monarch of their own tribe. His) authority extends over many vill a m . a n d settlements, embracing a «oaj|t line of 150 miles, and he is by no m#ans a figurehead, for in periodical revolutions he often holds the balance of power and dictates terms to the contending leaders. The Mosquito coast is the most backward, commercially and Industrially, of all the regions bordering on the Caribbean, and for this the Sambo king is directly responsible. He is shrewd enough to know that wherever the white man gets a footing the native soon vanishes, and therefore has he refused the granting of concessions for the exploitation of the valuable forests of Ills kingdom, nor will he allow his subjects to sell their lands. Thus this wily Indian ruler, who can't write Jhis name, has managed to hold his territory In its primal state against the avaricious schemes of the white man. His people obey him unquestionably and the general government is content to let him alone." PROOF FOR T W O CENTS. If You Suffer with Your Kidneys and Back Write to This Man. G. W. Winney, Medina, N.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. HIS T U R N TO CRITICI8C. Youngster Felt Called on to Manifest Disapproval of Prayer. Little John, who, at the mature age of four, has learned the Lord's Prayer, Is often criticised by his sister, two years older, for slight mfatakes which he cannot always avoid in offering the petition. A few Sundays ago he was taken to church for the first time. When the moment for the prayer arrived and the congregation bowred their heads John's mother took the precaution to whisper to him that he must be very quiet. "Listen," she said, "and you will hear the minister pray." This Interested John at once, and his little face took on a look of serious attention, but his mother, watching him covertly, saw his expression change presently to one of surprise and disapproval. A few minutes more, and he could stand it no longer. What could this man be saying? Not a word of the prayer did he recognize as the only formula he had. ever heard called by that name. "Why, mother," he exclaimed, in a tone; audible over nearly half the church, "do you hear? He isn't saying it right at all!" SORES AS BIG AS PENNIE8. One Way to Judge. "Do you know," said the head wait- ••r at a fashionable New York restaurant, "that an experienced waiter usually tell whether a diner is Mil thy or not by the way he handles his meal check? If a man carelessly pitches out his money for the waiter to pay the bill without looking over his check we know the chances are that he isn't wealthy. He is indulging in a luxury and fears he might be ridiculed if he examined ihe check. On the other hand, the man who has plenty of money examines his check closely, as a rule. If he finds an item which he thinks is wrong h? tells the waiter about It, It was probably just such care as that that made him rich. Is he laughed at? Well, I guess not. In fact, the waiters admire him for his carefulness, and the result is they are doubly particular about how he is charged." Whole Head and Neck Covered—Hair All Came Out—Cured in Three Weeks by Cuticura. "After having the measles my whole | head and neck wore covered with scaly sores about as large as a penny. They were just as thick as they could bo. My hair all came out. I let the trouble run along, taking the doctor's blood remedies and rubbing on salve, but it did net. scorn to get any better. It stayed that way for about six months; then I got a set of the Cutieura Remedies, and in about a week 1 noticed a big difference, and in three weeks it was well entirely and I have not had the trouble any more, and as this was seven, years ago, I consider myself cured.

As a, source of humor the Irish servant girl has long since fallen from her high estate, a result probably due to the better class of young women from the Emerald Isle who come here annually to help confuse the. eternal '•servant girl question." But now and again one of the old, naively ignorant sort turns up in a New York household, as was demonstrated the other day to a caller at a house on the West Side. The girl who responded to the bell was asked if her mistress was at homo. To this inquiry she surprised the caller by putting her arms behind her back and replying in a rich brogue, as she thrust her face toward the caller: "Put th' tickets in me mouth, ma'am, an' I'll go an' see.

PRODUCTIVE POWER OF WESTERN CANADA SOIL Winnipeg Correspondence. There haa never b#en any who have doubted the jjroductlvenesH of the coll of Western Canada, but there are sometimes found those who question the fact of its superiority. During the past season it has been ubown that in grain raising qualities it possessed the very best. The late spring prevented grain being sow* in many cases before the middle of May. Yet, a large percentage of that sown at that time produced excellent yields. Had it not been for the frost early In August, which visited most of the north half of the continent, there would have been a magnificent yield In every district in Western Canada. Throughout the Southern Alberta district where about 100,000 acres was BUWU to win ter wheat the yield will be enormously large. There are vast tracts of valuable grain growing land In Western Canada that are available for homesteads, the Canadian Government giving 160 acres free, and entry may be made by proxy, by any near relative, thus saving considerable cost to the American who may have entry made In this way. Any Canadian Government Agent will give you the particulars. Your correspondent h a s just received the following letter from Craik, Saskatchewan, which bears out the statement made in the first part of this letter. "Craik, Saak., Aug. 1907. "May 24th we planted a Dahlia root, which we brought with us from Minneapolis. Aug. 12th, 80 days later, it was in bloom. The plant is now 4½ feet high and covered with blossoms. We never got half ay many flowers on it in Minneapolis, even during September and October, although we had more time to attend to it there." I mention this only as an example of the great productive power of the soil here in Saskatchewan, Canada; SEARS, ROEBUCK A CO. I N D I C T E D . Charged with Using Mails to Defraud and in Misrepresenting Articles Sold. Caught Whiskers in Safe. In locking his safe the other night prior to his going home for supper George Edgemont, a paperhanger who lives at Jefferson street and Hermitage lane, Manayunft, shut the safe door upon his flowing whiskers and was held until released by his daughter, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Edgemont had been cut collecting bills during the day. Returning to hig office he opened his safe and placed the money in it. He then threw the dcor shut, catching the end of his beard in the door. In the excitement incident to his odd predicament he forgot the combination and so could not release himself. With his chin resting on the sate he was discovered about an hour after the accident by his daughter, who came to find what had delayed him. The safe was broken open by a locksmith.

There lb more than humor la tbo rise and fall or the mubtache, although til© country was amused several years ago by a humorous lecturer, who discoursed on the subject. It is contrary to the British army regulations for an officer to shave ids upper lip. From time to time the war department has issued general orders expressing its disapproval or the growing disregard of the regulations, and now it is re ported in London that King Edward Is contemplating some action which will compel the officers tu return to th< old custom. The mustache has lung been regarded as a military badge. Unly one regiment ,ln the Austin-Hungarian cavalry may go smoothfaced, and this is because during the Seven Years" war recruits were so scarce that this regiment once had to go into battle when there were nothing but beardless boys in its ranks. It behaved with such gallantry that Its members remain beardless to this day. The decline of the mustache in military England is said to be due to the preference of American girls for smooth faces and the liking of English army officers for American girls, a combination which produces new fashions anu outlaws old customs. Graceful recognition of one to whom the first settlers of New England owed much, if not their very lives, has recently been made by the Rhode Island commission for marking historical sites. Over the famous Massasoit spring, in the town of Warren, a tablet was erected to the great Indian chief who owned and ruled much of what is now Massachusetts and Rhode Island when the Pilgrims were settling the country. One of the sons of Massasoit was educated at Harvard college. Another son, although he had not the advantages of a college education, succeeded in making a name for himself. He was the famous King Philip whose war is a part of colonial history. Massasoit himself was a warm friend of the white Bettlers. The tablet was unveiled by Princess Wootonekanuske, otherwise known as Charlotte L. Mitchell, a lineal descendant of Massasoit. If China is awakening, are the western nations awakening to China? Dr. Arthur H. Smith, the well-known American missionary, shows in an. interesting book that this country has not followed its missionaries and its ministers of famine relief with any deep intellectual or even commercial understanding of China. It is strange that this1 nation, at once mercantile and generous, should have made so little effort, to understand the Chinese on their own soil, and should have failed to hoed the plain statement of Li Hung-Chang that, "if Americans want, the trade of China they must eome after it." Our attitude toward •'.'hina has been like our attitude "-oward South America. American consuls have boon preaching to us for years to learn the countries to which we ship our goods. Yet no traders are so little at home as are Americana in countries across the seas. The Rev. George Clark Houghton, the rector of the Little Church Around the Corner, in New York, has' given new fame to that place of worship by announcing that no marriages will be performed there hereafter unless the names of the contracting parties are announced beforehand. Therefore couples who want to be matrimonially united on the sly will have to go elsewhere. This is a good way to prevent young people from making fools of themselves, says Boston Budget, and is in accordance with a time-honored custom in the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches. TRAGEDY E N D 8 ILLbCIT LOWE OF W O M A N P A T I E N T A N D DOCTOR. INFATUATION AND SCORN Tgld Hubband She Loved the Doctor Best, Then Came Separation, An Operation, Reconciliation and Ruination. Mrs. Florence Griffith deliberately shot Dr. James A. Att ridge, of Detroit, the bullet lodging in his brain. She then turned the weapon upon herself and sent a bullet into her own head, just above the right temple. The tragedy occurred early Tuesday evening iu the comfortably furnished flat of Mrs. Griffith. What led up to the shooting, the immediate cause, can only be a matter of conjecture. No one was present except the principals. But that It was the closing chapter of a woman's illicit infatuation for a supposed affinity there is no doubt. ".My wife and 1 have been married for If years," .said James B. Griffith. husband of the woman. "We came to this city about four years ago. "1 have known Dr. Attridge about three years. 'We became acquainted in a purely professional way. The doctor was our family physician. A year ago- I had typhoid fever, and he took care of me. But he was move than our family doctor. He was my friend. He frequently called on us socially. He seemed to exercise a strange inihunco over my wife, who thought the world of him. 1 know now that the relations existed between them for over a year, but 1 did not make the discovery until last spring. "I confronted my wife with my suspicions, and she confessed. She told me that she loved the doctor more than she did me, more than anything or anybody in the world. I sufd to her that if such were her feelings we would have to part. For a time we went along, I attempting to free her from the doctor's influence over her and hoping for a reconciliation. It was useless." "On October 211 last we separated. It was an amicable separation. 1 left the apartments we had occupied, but continued to take care of her financially. I paid the rent and snw to it that she wanted for nothing. I saw her, too, once in a while, and we were by no means on bad terms. It was, as 1 said, an amicable separation. "My wife's health was poor. Two weeks ago she was removed to Harper hospital for an operation. Dr. Attridge is a member of the medical, staff of that hospital. He had charge of my wife's case in an advisory capacity. Dr. Angus McLean performed the operation. While she was at the hospital, I called on her several times. I found her in varying moods. Now she would be full of admiration for the doctor, now she would seem to tire of him and long for me and her old home life. "This latter sentiment grew so strong upon her that we became reconciled, and 1 agreed to return to her as soon as she should he ahlc to leave the hospital. "She left the hospital and was taken to her home. Her sister, Mrs, Stella Wade, of Holly, Mich., win, was here to take care of her, notified me that my wife would come homo. 1 was not to take her home. My wife insisted that Dr. Attridge should accompany her, I had made up my mind to call on her in the evening and remain with her, "When I arrived the tragedy had occurred." Mrs. Griffith arrived in her apartments early in the evening. The doctor had left. her. Site was alone with her sister in her home. The operation had left, her a hopeless invalid. Her home was ruined. STATE NEWS IN BRIEF. Edward Koester, of Riga, aged 14, ahot himself with a toy pistol and died. Mrs. Charles Barton, aged 103, the oldest resident of Ithaca, has passed away.

OVER FIVE HUNDRED DIE There Are All and Moro Than the Usual Attendant Horror* to Appa the Reccuera and Onlookers. The explosion in the Fairmont Coul Co.';, mines, Xos. 6 and 8, at Mouougah, W. Va., which dazed the people, caused the greatest disaster and loss of life in the history of American mining. The streets of Fairmont and Monongah were crowded Saturday night and thousands lined the hills in the vicinity of the wrecked works. At 9 p. m. only 2M bodies had been recovered, but scores were in sight. The deadly black-damp became more pronounced as the further recesses of the mines were approached. It was a physical impossibility to go faster than i he air, which traveled slowly on account of the men having to brattice many old entries as they worked forward. It was stated by General Manager Leo T. Makme, of the mine, that 478 actual miners were checked off as enhan ;:IKI tering the mines Friday morning. This number, it was further stated, did not include fully 100 trappers, mule drivers, pumpers and boys who are not under the check system. Should these figures be correct, the death list will be over 550 persons. The condition of the bodies thus far recovered is horrible. Many are dismembered; some are fearfully crushed and the rest are blackened and burned beyond recognition. The body of J. M. Mc- Craw, pit boss, and one of the best known mining men in West Virginia, was recovered in mine No. S. It was headless and otherwise disfigured, identification having been made by the clothing and shoes lie wore. Exterminate Head Hunters.

A great many persons in the United States have been wanting to know why it is that Chancellor Day, of Syracuse university, is so bitterly hostile to President Roosevelt. It Is now possible, for the first time, to make an authoritative statement by way of explanation of that hostility. To begin with, Day was one of Roosevelt's best friends and must ardent and outspoken admirers for many years. The pleasant relationship was broken about two years ago when the president refused to permit a nephew of Day's to be placed on the retired list of the army, at regular retired pay. Instead of doing this, the president concluded that justice demanded that the young man go to prison, where he is now completing a sentence for the offense of duplicating his pay accounts. Hence Day's spleen. A New York man who gave a beggar the price of a meal nine years ago received recently a letter inclosing a $1,000 bill in payment. Only initials were signed, so the receiver hag no idea who Rent the money. Maybe it came from the beggars' union to stimulate giving. We cannot, tell. Almost, everything is being put nn a business basis these days. To Succeed Glazier. Vernon T. Barker, president, of the Home Savings bank, Kalamazoo, announced Wednesday morning that, he would he a candidate for the appointment, as state treasurer to succeed Frank P. Glazier, if the latter resigns. Barker recently announced that, he would be a candidate for election to the office. He has begun an active campaign to become Glazier's successor, and is circulating petitions and obtaining indorsements, to be presented to Gov. Warner. Barker is a, self-made man and has the confidence of the financial interests in that city. He is a member of the executive council of the Michigan Bankers' association. In January next, a statue of Em lie Zola will he placed in Paris near the Palace of Justice.

In Chicago on June 1G, 190S, the convention that will name the next standard bearer of the Republican colored ! l , n r t v w l ] l be called to order. The city and date were decided upon Saturday by the Republican national committee in an exciting session and the final decision was unanimous. The convention will be held in the Coliseum, which s'eats 14,000 people. Chicagoans say the next convention will be the first real one since 1888; that, is the first in which the result will not be known in advance, and in view of the tremendous interest that will be displaved Chicago alone can handle the visitors properly and take care of the newspapers. Kansas City made a splendid fight to land the gathering, and its showing in the vote was a strong one. Denver also bid, offering $100,000 in cash, but the superior attractions of the Windy City and the facilities there for I lie handling of the news of the convention decided the matter. The original vote stood: Chicago, H2; Kansas City, 17; Denver, 4. Troops in Goldfietd. The trouble with miners in Goldj fit Id, Nev., is probably over now that : the soldiers have arrived. The town breathed a sigh of relief Saturday morning when the dnv broke without any act of violence having been committed during the night, It was feared ion all hands that in anticipation of the coming of the troops the night would be taken advantage of by the lawless to make a demonstration. The worst fear was from fire. The wind blew a gale all night, and the air was full of the first snow of winter. A citizens' guard had been posted throughout the town and along the water and light lines for several miles beyond the town limits. The strain was tense and few slept. The Chinks Are Deluded. There is an important feature of the Japanese side of the question which has not. been mentioned publicly. It. is the effect, in China of the agitation of the past few months. The Japanese government views with mixed feelings the coming American naval demonstration in the Pacific, not because it is doubtful of the intentions of the American government, but because it, fears the effect on the Chinese mindR. The Chinese are being imbued with the idea that. America is moving in their behalf against. Japan. News from China during the past, few months has faintly described the anti-Japanese movement, which is gathering headway in that country. The conviction is growing among all classes that Russia's successful opponent, has schemes of aggrandizement at. the expense of the flowery kingdom and the feeling has already reached dangerous proportions. Ten Per Cent Stabbed. The Italian government, is making Michiflan's Big Poultry Show. The Michigan State poultry association hold their fourteenth annual show at the Light Guard Armory, Detroit, January l l to 16, 1908. This show is to be of great educational value, which will be due largely to the high quality of the show throughout and the systematic manner in which it will be conducted. It will be one of the largest shows held in America this year. There is to be given 40 beautiful silver cups and nearly 400 valuable specials, such as dining tables, tea sets, barrels of flour, etc., besides large cash prizes. Correspondence is being received from all over the United States and Canada. Unable to raise money to feed the animals, Port Huron will sell its aoo.

Chip T Quire, a 16-year-old girl living a t Tim'., place in the Maine woods is sold by Ler father to Pete Boldue, a half-breed. She runs away and reaches the camp of Martin Frlsbie, occupied by Martin, his wife, nephew, ilaymond Stetson, and Kuides. She tells her story and is cared for by Mrs. Frisble. Journey of Frlsble'a party into woods to visit father of Mrs. Frisble, an old hermit, who has resided in the wilderness for many years. When camp is broken Chip and Ray occupy same canoe. The party reach camp of Mra. Frlsbie's father and are welcomed by him and Cy Walker, an old friend and former townsman of the hermit. They settle down for summer's stay. Chip and Kay a r e in love, but no one realizes tWs but Cy Walker. Strange canoe marks found on lake shore in front of their cabin. Strange smoke is seen across the lake. Martin and Levi leave for settlement to get officers to arrest McGulre, who is known :>s outlaw and escaped murderer. Chip's one woods friend, Toman, an Indian, visits camp. Ray believes he sees a bear on the ridge. Chip is stolen by Pete Boldue and escapes with her in a canoe. Chip is rescued by Martin and Levi as they are returned from the settlement. Boldue escapes. Old Cy proposes to Ray that lie remain In the woods with himself a n d Amzl and trap during the winter and he concludes to do so. Others of the p a r t y return to Greenvale, taking Chip with them. Chip starts to school in Greenvale, nnd finds life unpleasant *.t Aunt Comfort's, mado so especially by Hannah. CHAPTER X I I . The streams and swamps contiguous to this lake) were well adapted for the habitat of wink, muskrat, otter, fisher, and those large fur-bearing animals, tho lyax and lucivee. - OM Cy, familiar as he was with the boorea. habits, and the manner of catching these cunning animals, soon began his trap-setting campaign: A few dozen steel traps were first set along the stream and lagoons entering the lake, and then be and Ray pushed up Heaver brook, and leaving their canoe, followed Us narrow valley in search of suitable spots to set the more elaborate deadfalls. As gum-gathering was also a part of their season's plan, they now left the swamp valley, and, ascending the spruce-clad upland, began this work. There was also another element t h a t entered into the trapping and gumgathering life,—the possible return of the half-breed. "He hain't nothin' agin us," Old Cy asserted, when the question came up. "We didn't chase him the day he stole Chip, *n' yet I s'pose he'll show up some day, 'n' mebbe do us harm." It was this fear that had led Old Cy to leave one of their canoes in a log locker, securely barred, and also to caution the hermit to remain on guard at the cabin while he and Ray were away. A canoe Is the one most vital need of a wildwood life, for the reason that the streams are the only avenues of escape and afford the only opportunities for travel. Oid Cy knew, or at. least he felt al- B o s t sure, that, the half-breed would r t t u r n in good time. He had also reasoned out his failure to do so at once, and knew that left canoeless, as he had been that tragic day, his only course must be the one he actually followed. A month had elapsed since then, with no sign of this "varmint's" return, and now Old Cy was on the watch for it. They had first visited the small t r a p s near the lake, securing a couple of mink and three muskrats, which were toft la t h e canoe. An otter was found l a OM of tho deadfalls, and taking t M s ^wKh tisom^, tooy ootoroA the spruce ' j t t a h t r 0*4 tons It o» a conspicuous I n b V T h i s too aearcti for gum began. ?>,V 4 , m m ^ ^ ^ , ^ 1 ^ d .

" T a i n t thq baff-br/jedV' ttq p u t t e r e d , with an accent' of relief, and looking about he saw a welMleflned trail leading down tho slope and thence onward toward the swamp. Some one had crossed this broad, oval, spruce-covered upland while they were not 200 rodb away from this tree, had stolen their otter and gone on into the swamp. Any freshly made human footprint found in a vast wilderness awakens curiosity; these seemed ominous. "He must 'a' seen us 'Core he did the otter," Old Cy ejaculated, "an' It's curls be didn't make himself known. Neighbors ain't over plenty, hereabout." But the sun was nearlng the treetops, the canoe was a mile away, and after one more look around, Old Cy started for it. There was no use in following this trail now, for it led into the tangled swamp, and so, skirting this until a point opposite the canoe was reached, Old Cy and Ray the a plunged into it. Twilight had begun to shadow this vale ere the canoe was reached. And here was another surprise, for the canoe was found turned half over, and on its broad oval bottom was a curious outline of black mud. The light was not good here. A fir-grown ledge shadowed the spit; but as Old Cy stooped to examine this mud-made emblem, it gradually took shape, and he saw—a skull aud cross bones! "Wal, by the Great Horn Spoon!" he exclaimed, "X never s'posed a pirate 'ud fetch in here! An' he's .swiped our muskrats and mink," he added, as he looked under the canoe, "darn him!" Then the bold bravado of it all occurred to Old Cy. The theft was doubtless made by whosoever had taken 4 .^ ^kr1 - -••• rtr ^ . %&£•: m__ '• *" ' " ^ The Two Watched In Silent Amazement. their otter, and not content with robbing them, he had added Insult. "I s'pose we'd orter be grateful he left the paddles 'n' didn't smash the canoe," Old Cy continued, turning it over. "X wonder who't can be?" One hasty look around revealed the same bootmarks in the soft earth near the stream, and then he and Hay launched their craft and started for home. "I'm goln' to foller them tracks tomorrer," Old Cy said, when they were entering the lake and a light in the cabin just across reassured him. "It may be a little resky, but I'm goin' to find out what sorter a neighbor we've sot." CHAPTER X I I I . All fellow-sojourners In the wilderness awaken keen interest, and the unbroken silence and solitude of a boundless forest make a fellow human being one we are glad to accost. A party of lumbermen wielding axes causes one to turn aside and call on them. A sportsman's camp seen on a lake shore or near a stream's bank always invites a landing to interview whoever may be there. All this interest was now felt by Old Cy and Ray, and with it an added sense of danger. No friendly hunter or trapper would thus ignore them In the woods. This piratically minded thief must have seen them, for the spruce-clad oval, perhaps half a mile in width, was comparatively free from undergrowth where they had been working. He had crossed it within fairly open sight of th«m, had found the otter hanging from a limb, had taken It, and thence on to rob their $anoe, daub it with that hideous emblem, world-wide in meaning, and then had gone on his way. Almost could Old Cy see him watching them from behind trees, skulking along when their backs were turned, a low, contemptible thief. Old Cy knew that bordering this oval ridge on its farther side was a swamp, that a stream flowed through It, and Burmising that this follow might h a r e come up or <fcow» tfcte lUoaox he loft tooir oootm proyoro* *r t t * t or three days' sojourn away from It, which meant that food, blankets and simple cooking utensils must be taken along. No halt was made to visit traps. Old Cy was trailing bigger game now; and when the point where they had left the canoe the day previous was reached, the canoe was pulled out on the stream's bank, the rifles only taken and the trailing began. He followed up the brook valley a little way, to find that only one track came down; he then circled about the canoe, until, like a hound, he found where the clearly defined trail left the swamp again. Here in the soft carpet under the spruce trttes one could follow this trail on t i e run, aud here also Old Cy found where this enemy had halted beside trees, evidently while watching them, as the tracks indicated. When the bordering swamp was reached, the trail turned in a westerly direction, skirting thus for half a mile, and here, also, evidences of skulking along were visible. Another trail was now come upon, but leading directly over the ridge, and just beyond this juncture both the trails now joined, entered the swamp, and ended at a lagoon opening out I'rora the stream. Here, also, evidences of a canoe having been hauled up Into the bog were visible. "That sneakin' pirate come up this :.-*ream," Old Cy observed to Ray, as the two stood looking at these unmistakable signs. "He left his canoe here 'n' crossed the ridge above us 'n' down to whar we left the otter 'n' on to our canoe. Then he come back the way we follered, 'u' my idee is he had his eye on us most o' the time. I callate he has been laughin' ever since at what we'd say when we found that mud daub on our canoe, durn him!" But their canoe was now a half-mile away, and for a little time Old Cy looked at the black, currentless stream and considered. Then he glanced up at the sun. "I've a notion tw£*dvhes,t fetch our canoe over herS£7he safcr'^at last, "an' follow this thfel u spell farther. We may come on to suthin'." "Won't he shoot at us?" returned Ray, more impressed by this possible danger than was Old Cy. "Wal, mebbe and mebbe not," answered the old man. "Shootin's a game two kin play at, an' we've jist ez good a right to foller the stream ez he has." But when their canoe had been carried over and launched in this lagoon, Ray's spirits rose. It was an expedition into new waters, somewhat venturesome, and for that reason it appealed to him. For two hours they paddled along this serpentine highway, and then the vaatness of this morass began to impress them. No halt for dinner had yet been made. They were both faint from need of food, and so Old Cy reached for a small wooden pail containing their sole supply of provisions. Neither was it a luxurious repast which was now eaten. A couple of hardtacks munched by each and moistened with a cup of this swamp water and a bit of dried deer meat was all, and then Old Cy lit his pipe, dipped his paddle in the stream, and once more they pushed on. Soon a low mound of hard soil rose out of the tangle just ahead, an oasis in this unvarying mud swamp, and gaping at them from amid its cover of scrub birch and cedar stood a deadfall. It faced them as they neared this small island, and with log upraised between a pen of stakes it much resembled the open mouth of a huge alligator. "Hain't been built, long," Old Cy exclaimed, after they had landed to examine it. "I've a notion it's the doin's of our pirate friend, an' he's trappin' round about this swamp. He's had good luck lately, anyhow, for he's got six o' our pelts to add to his string." From here onward signs of human presence In this swamp became more visible. Now and then an opening cut through the limbs of a lopped-over spruce was met; a spot where drift had been pushed aside to clear the stream was found at. one place; signs of a canoe having been nosed into the bog grass were seen; and here were also the same footprints they had followed. Another bit of hard bottom was reached, and here again was another deadfall. Tracks evidently made within a few days were about, here, and tied to its figure-four spindle was a freshly caught brook sucker. "The secnt's gettin' warm," Old Cy muttered, as he examined these signs of a trapper's presence, and then, mindful of the sun, he paddled on again. And now an upland growth of tall spruce was seen ahead, the banks became in evidence, and a slight current was met. One more long bend in the stream was followed, then came curving banks and large-bodied spruce. They wpr e out of the swamp. Soon a more distinctive current opposed them, a low murmur of running water came from ahead, and then a pass between two abutting ledges was entered. Here the stream eddied over sunken rocks, and pushing on, the forest seemed suddenly to vanish as they from the gloom of this short canyon, and the next moment they caught sight of a long, narrow lakelet. The sun, na>w aU&ost to t h e treetops, cast a reddish glow upon its placid surface, and so welcome a change was it from the ghostly, forbid ding swamp just left, that Old Cy halt ed their canoe at once to look out upon it. It was seeuitngiy a mile long, but quite a narrow lake. A bold, rocky shore rising in ledges laced them Just across, and extended along that side, back of these a low, green-clad mountain, to the right, and at the end of this lanelike lake a bolder, bare-topped cliff was outlined clear and distinct. The strip of water, for it was not much more, seemingly filled an oblong gorge in these mountains, only one break in them, to the. left of this bare peak; and as Old Cy urged their canoe out of the alder-choked stream, now currentless, once more, a margin line of rushes and reeds was seen to form that shore. Back of these, also, rose the low ledge they had passed. "Looks like a good hidin' spot fer a pirate," he exclaimed, glancing up and down the smiling lakelet "Thar ain't many folks likely to tackle that swamp —it took us 'most all day to cross it. I'll bet no lumberman ever tried it twice, 'n' if I wanted to git absolutely way from bein' molested, I'd locate here. I dunno whether we'd best cross 'n' make camp 'mong them ledges or go back into the woods. Guess we'd best go back 'n' take a sneak round behind the ledge. I noticed a loggin leadin' up that way 'fore we left the swamp." But now something was discovered that proved Old Cy's wisdom, for as they, charmed somewhat by the spot, yet feeling it forbidding, still glanced up and down the bold shore just across, suddenly a thin column of smoke rose from away to the right, amid the bare ledges. First a faint haze, rising in the still air, then a burst of white, until the fleecy pillar was plainly outlined as it ascended and drifted backward into the green forest. HAD TO KEEP DATE • i • " « * * * • CHAPTER XIV. Old Cy was, above all, a peaceable man, and while curiosity had led him to follow the trail of this robber and to cross this vast swamp, now that he . saw the suggestive smoke sign, he I hesitated about venturing nearer. I "I guess we'd best be keerful," he I whispered to Ray, "or we may wish we had been. I callate our pirate friend's got a hidin' spot over thar, 'n' most likely don't want callers. He may be only a queer old trapper a little short o" scruples ag'in' takin' what he finds, 'n' then a g i n he may be worse'n that. His campirf* spot's ag'in him, anyhow." But the sun was now very low; a camp site must soon be found, and scarce two minutes from the time he saw this rising column of smoke, Old Cy dipped his paddle and slowly drew back into the protecting forest. Once well out of sight, the canoe was turned and they sped back down-stream and into the swamp once more. Here he turned aside into a lagoon they had passed, and at its head they pulled their canoe out into the bog. The two gathered up their belongings, and picking their way out of the morass, reached the belt of hard bottom skirting the ridge. They were now out of sight from the lake, but still too near the stream to risk a camp-fire, and so Old Cy led the way along this belt until a more secluded niche in the r i i g e was reached, and here they began camp-making. That night was the longest ever passed by Ray, for not until near morning did he fall into a fitful slumber, and scarcely had he lost himself before Old Cy was up and watchiag for the dawn. Its first faint glow was visible when Ray's eyes opened, and without waiting for fire or breakfast, they started for the top of the ridge. From here a curious sight met their eyes, for the lake and also the ridges out of which the smoke had risen were hidden beneath a white pall of fog. Back of them also, and completely coating the immense swamp, was the same sea of vapor. It soon vanished with the rising sun, and just as the ledge across the lake outlined themselves, once more that smoke sign rose aloft. And now the two watchers could better see whence it came. Old Cy had expected to obtain sight of some hut or bark shack nestling among these rocks; but none was visible. Instead, the smoke rose out of a jagged rock, and there was not a cabin roof or sign of one anywhere. "That feller's in a' cave," he whispered to Ray, "an* the smoke's comin' out. o' a crac*k, sure's a gun!" It seemed so. and for a half-hour the two watched it in silent amazement. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

And His Friend, a Man of Peace, Ac cempanied Him to the Scene of Combat, Greatly to His Discomfiture. "I like a methodical man," said an uptown rounder, "but my friend whose den is opposite to the one where I loiter Is excessive in this line. "He asked me to dine with him, and I accepted. We went at it leisurely. We got down to the foot of the menu loafing all the way. As usual he was placid. We had just reached pie and dcmltasse when he asked me rather suddenly the day of the month. I had it handy. " 'And the day of the week?' he asked. And I handed him that. Then he looked at his watch. " Y o u won't mind, old man," he said, 'if I tell you that I must go.' "J told him if it was a matter of any moment I would consent, but with regret. 1 knew he was absentminded. " 'This is the day,' he continued, shoving back his glass aud using his napkin hurriedly, 'when I promised to give Blinky a good thrashing. I had forgotten it when 1 asked you to dine. You'll excuse me, old man, won't you?' "For his own sake, as well as my own pleasure, I asked him if he couldn't postpone the fistic affair until later. " 'It can't be put off,' he replied. 'I know exactly where he will be within 40 minutes, and I prefer to lick him at that place.' " 'Then,' I replied, 'I'll go with you.' "He got under headway first and was on the sidewalk before I got my top coat buttoned. Then he called a motor car and giving the chauffeur the number he told him to take a back street and let out at top speed. "On the way he talked about nearly everything except fighting. He even told me of a contemplated trip to the far east. He burned up a box of cigarettes before the car halted in front of the place in which he said the enemy had his office. "I asked if I had not better go in with him. He thanked me, but declined the offer. " 'It won't take long,' he said, 'and if might not be pleasant for a third party. You hold the car till I come out.' "As he disappeared I felt a clammy ooze gaThering on my brow, aud removed my hat. I looked at my watch every minute. I never knew time to drag as it did while I sat in that car. I will never know how long I sat there. "I remember a figure coming out of the doorway. It had changed some since it had gone in. 1 leaped out of the car and approached my friend. "He said he wasn't hurt, but I quickly saw that he had been up against it. If I ever concoct a striking transformation scene for a stage I'll put in a scene like that for a thriller. " 'Would you like to see him—the other fellow?" asked my friend. "I don't know what made me say that. I would dote on such a sight. Quicker than a wireless message he grabbed me by the arm and rushed me up the stairway to the office of the enemy. "My friend opened the door. I stuck my head through the aperture Biff! Just like that! The next thing I remembered I was in the car. My friend was holding something under my nose. "He apologized for the suggestion h«' had made and which resulted in my emerging from the situation in a worse plight than himself. No mon> methodical fracas for me, thank you." —N. Y. Sun. Took Advantage of Czar's Hobby. Peter the Great particularly delight ed in drawing teeth, and he strictly enjoined his servants to send for him when anything of that sort was to be done. One day his favorite valet de chambre seemed very melancholy; the czar asked him what was the mat ter. "Oh, your majesty," said the man, "my wife is suffering the greaiesr agony from toothache, and she obstinately refuses to have the tooth taken out." "If that is all," said Peter, "we will soon cure it; take me to her at once." When they arrived, the worn an declared that she was not suffering at all; there was nothing the matter with her. "That Is the way she talks, your majesty," said the valet; "she is suffering tortures." "Hold her head and hands," said the czar; "I will have it out in a moment." And he instantly pulled out the indicated tcoth with great dexterity, amid profuse thanks from the husband. What was Peter's indignation to discover a little later that his valet had used him as an executioner to punish his wife, who had never had an unsound tooth in her head.—San Francisco Argonaut •r 3 'A t 8 - .

"I sell an ounce or t wo of snuff occasionally—to the old. as a rule. The yountf will seldom look at snuff. Aud those who do use it impute medicinnl virtues to it. Thus old fashioned watchmakers, gem cutters and tailors think that a pinch of snuff uow and then improves the eyesight. They think it refreshes and fortifies weary eyes na a cup of tea refreshes and fortifies a weary hraiu. Others thiiik snuff cures a cold. Others take it for the headache. Others Htill l>elieve that it wards off contagion. Personally I be!ieve that snuff taking is less harmful than smoking. Its effect, too, is pleasanter than the effect of smoking—it is a most soothing and fascinating effect once you get u»ed to it—but the habit is untifly and therefore it can get no hold upon us in this aesthetic age."— Los Angeles Times. •4Aaa*AAftaaiiA4Aiia<UA*i4» <« 4 <4 < •4 < 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 "Less of your Courtesy, More of your Purse."

A short time afterward it w a s a matter of surprise to find that these had been appropriated by a female mud wasp. She had placed a goodly number of spiders In the center vial, doubtless intended to serve a s food for her future brood, then proceeded to deposit her eggs in Miose on either side.

The word suppleness scarcely does justice to.the new models, particularly the skirts. They must cling to the figure, and the woman who wears them must have no hips. The house and evening gown must be long, so long, Indeed, that it falls on the floor at least two inches in front and several more In the immediate back.

Under the skirts only one petticoat of thin material is allowed in addition to the FOR UP-TO-DATE PORTIERS. 8oft Quality of Moreen the Most Effective Yet Devised. Moreen Is one of the latest fabrics to be used for portlers or heavy curtains. A soft quality must be secured, as, of course, a stiff weave of the material would hang in ungraceful lines. The moire effect is very fashionable Just now in wall hangings of all sorts, and the moreen will be found quite as effective as watered silk for this purpose. The only advantage of silk is, In fact, the softnoss of the folds. If <care is exercised in the selection of t h e proper quality, the moreen will serve equally well in this regard. To make the portieres full and rich they should be lined and even interlined. For the latter purpose a cheap canton flannel will do or any old curtain material which has been in use, provided it is very soft and not too bulky. The main thing is that it should have no unevenness whatever. The lining may be of soft silk, sateen, satin or sllkoline. The curtains may be in any shade which is harmonious with the room, but In cream, deep ivory or dull greens or blues the material is at its best. These curtains are suitable for rooms the walls of which are hung with satin or brocade or with fine satin finished paper. For drawing rooms and similarly elaborate aparlments they are entirely in place. For libraries, dining rooms, etc., rep curtains are very fashionable. They are used in all the old rep colors, dull wine color and dark green being the favorites. Usually they are trimmed with wide bands of figured material, which are set in as a border. For bedrrjoms where they can be harmoniously employed the favorite portieres are made of delicately flowered chintz, usually having a white or light tinted background, with scattered flowers and a more heavily flowered border which goes across the bottom and up the sides.

The gown of a alight princes* effect is still popular, and one in rather modifled lines is shown to-day. The soft draping of the waist lends becoming Hues to the thin girl, and the model combines the new mousquetalre sleeve now so much worn. For a woman of medium slse 1; would require about 15 yards of silk, 18 inches wide, for the body of the dress, while for the drapery on the waist and sleeves it would require about three yards of double width chiffon or net. You cannot make a gown in these days with a small pattern. It is essentially a season of elaborateness and detail, both of which consume goods. A short pattern will make you a stinted dress that will look passe the first time yuu put it on. The reign of the jumper has been sung, and while we are told that the kimono sleeve will last, we welcome something that Is a relief from tho regulation cut, and one which will still give us the long-shoulder effect. Bretelles of various designs bid fair to become popular, and they have the double advantage of being fashionable and at the same time becoming. The stouter woman should cling to the eton in modified lines, while the extremely thin girl should select a loose jacket on the kimono order. It is really a great art to know just what style is becoming to your particulai figure, and this comes only from ex perience. One of the best dressed women of New York never wears any thing but a toque that is very high .on one side and falls very low on the forehead. She is a woman who has millions at her command, but says that she has tried every known style of millinery and this is the only one that becomes her, and hence she never changes just to be in fashion at the cost of hei beauty. It is a good general rule to go by. Select things that are becoming rather than those at the height of fashion, always keeping within bounds of general styles. In these days of many models this is easily accomplished, for the long graceful lines now in prevalence are generally becoming. A woman must spend only a little time and thought on the selection of that particular cut most becoming to a particular figure. DAINTY JACKET OF MUSLIN. Late Home Goer Undiriy Alarmed by 8uipicious Character. He climbed off the car out in East Cleveland the other night, or, to ba exact, the other morning, and proceeded toward his modest little home down a pretty side street. As soon us he reached the sidewalk he tried to walk along the edge and ascertain if he was still able to navigate along a straight line. "I'm th' only man that wuz in the bunch t'night that c'n walksh straight's that," he muttered to himself, with pardonable pride when he found that he could move along flrat-rate. A moment later he aaw a suspicious- looking man following him. "That fellesh goln' t' try V rob muh," he muttered. He felt in his trousers pocket and found only a crumpled two-dollar bill, but it waB all he had left after the evening's entertainment, and he didn't want to lose it. Then he reflected that probably the stranger following him wasn't thinking of robbing him at all. But to make sure that they didn't have anytrouble he crossed the street. A minute later he looked about. The man behind him had crossed over, too. Once again the man with the twodollar bill crossed the Btreet. He hated to look around for a time, lest his fears be substantiated. When he did turn his head his pursuer was not far behind him. He had crossed the street again. The man ahead clutched tightly hi^ two-dollar bill, dear to him because It was all that remained of what had been a roll the size of a blacksmith's forearm, and started to cross over once more, for he happened to think that he lived on the other side of the street anyhow, but he hadn't reached the middle of the sttreet when he looked back and noted that his pursuer was also crossing over. He stopped right there, pulled out j his two-dollar bill and watch and held them out toward the man behind him. "Here's all I've got, old man," says he, now perfectly sobered by his fright. "Take it, but lemme alone, My wife's worried about me anyway, and if I go into the house with my face bunged up I'll get thrown out." "Why, you darn fool!" grunted the other man as he brushed on by, ' I ' m the man that goes around to turn out the street lights." — Cleveland Plai' Dealer.

It is modeled with a yoke to which the lower part is gathered. The yoke makes a smooth foundation for The Oldest Photographer. Mr. William Hardy Kent, who died the other day in Eastbourne, in Eng lish Sussex, had the reputation of be ing the oldest photographer in the world. He died at the age of 88. Hf was of New England birth, and New Bedford was his home, until about 1846 he learned the art of photography, and in 1848 he opened a small studio in New York, where by the year 1854 he had gained a consider able fortune. He then went over to London, where he opened three pho tographic studios, one in Oxford street, one in Regent street and an Other at Knights bridge. At the time of his death he was still op erating a photograph gallery at East bourne, and he had similar studios at the seaside resorts of Brighton and Hastings, at New castle and H a r r o gate. Strict Sabbath Keeping. Prescott, the historian, possessed a quiet and quaint humor. Mine. M. S. Van de Velde gives an instance of it in "Random Recollections." Mr. Prescott was taking a foreign visitor for a walk in Boston Common one Sunday. The special object of the stroll was to see the fountain in the frog pond. When the two arrived at the spot rhey found the water shut off, "Oh," said Prescott, disconsolately, by way of apology, "I knew little boys were not allowed to play on the Sabbath, hut I did not know that fountains were not permitted to do so." the deep collar to lie over.

Success Which Haa Followed the Adoption of Scholarship Plan. The writer has spent some 27 years on the mission field, and has either. tried or seen tried many of the usual schemes for securing the attontiou of uative Af- ^A rlcan children and winning them into the Christian life. Moral suasion is good, just, as far as it will go. In- African Mission dustrlal missions Chapel. are excellent, just so far as the mission has the cash to the bills. The best method, open to every mission, is to take the child out of the heathen home and plant it in a Christian homo, whore it soon learns to believe in the Gospel. Believing this, the child is seldom at reBt till the other members of the family are also in possession of this great happiness. For 15 years we tried the usual methods, and met with indifferent success. For the last ten years we have followed the scholarship plan, and have doubled cur output of profitable fruitago every year during that entire period. Churches in the homeland that have accomplished so much are rare indeed. We had nine members some nine years ago and we have over 1,200 now, while there is an average of more than 50,000 outside people reached per month. How is this all accomplished? The children do pretty much the whole of it. It is most interesting to found a station and watch results, which almost Immediately appear. A teacher is found—not a learned man at all; but he is good as far as the beginning of addition, and he can read hesitatingly In the Testament only; but he can preach like Niagara! Lots of noise, much volume, and here and there a good bit of truth. He is married. He is given money to sustain 15 little mission children as soon as he can secure them. In six months he has them. They are allowed all the little visits home they choose to make; and every time they go, they preach by their clothing, their quiet manners and their avoiding the purely heathen, all of which, though they speak not a word of their religion, teaches most powerfully. If they talk of their faith, as most do, they will the sooner bring brothers, sisters, couslnotf-aunts and the whole connection to the mission station. This inevitably-follows in the regular course of events.—E. H. Richards, in Christian Herald. NEW F I E L D OF WORK. Evangelists Being Sent to Great Prairie Land of Western Canada. A recent enterprise for giving evangelists to the Great Prairie Land in Western Canada, is that of Archdea con George Lloyd, who first entered the Saskatchewan country in 1903, at the time when emigration there from Canada began. Since that time a railway has helped to open the country, and more than thirty missions have been established. About a year ago Archdeacon Lloyd returned to England to secure a band of Prairie evangelists, and has now returned to his field with a numerous band of men to serve as catechists, each in charge of from one to two hundred square miles of territory, where they are to open centers of worship. Five ladies have also volunteered as deaconesses for work with women and children. A Blessed Work. About 18 months ago the missionaries of the London Missionary society commenced work among the "Kurav ers," a wild people in South India, and 61 pne of them have recently been baptized. Rev. William Robinson writes: "So far as I know, these Kuravers are the first of their tribe to be baptized In any mission. They have such tenacity of will that they are not at. all likely to revert, whatever may happen. I have to-day weon another company of Kuravers. They ask for a teacher and a school, a.»d their headman says they are dettir mined to worship tho God whom we present to them." Arabs Baptized. Uev. J. C. Young of the Scotch Presbyterian Mission in Arabia, writes ,*rom Sheikh Othman: "Last Sunday I admitted into the Christian church, through the rite of baptism, six person ;, all Arabs, one of whom was Sal«h Hassan, a man of education atul position.

' ' ' ^ (From Detroit Newt.) "Ecsema, tetter, ringworm and other akin, diseases are spreading," says Dr. J. E. Currier in the Doctor's Guide, writing about a new and wonderfully successful cure for akin affections, "I apply plain pure cJtrox, dissolved in hot water, twice a day. You who know how stubborn tetter, ringworm and eczema can be, will be amazed see how soon tbls stops the itchi dries up the eruption and cans growth of new healtby skin. V ujM tell my paUeftts to get a package w pure cltrox a t the drug store and dissolve a teaspoonful In two tabrespoonfuls of hot water, as this solution must be made fresh each time and used warm. "I am having better success than ever before. A case of tetter on the hand that had run six months, cltrox cured in a week; and a young woman whose back was a mass of pustules was cured in two weeks. I could cite many others. Be careful to get the pure drug put up In small sealed packages/as the common kind sold In bulk is not fit for medical use." It will interest women to learn that this well-known drug's value for skin diseases was discovered accidentally by the doctor's wife. Served Accordingly. At a men's cafe one night a young American—a barber—fell in with an Englishman. The latter was berating the^ Yankees for doing all manner, of business in their shops and not following the better English plan of sticking to one branch. The next day he swaggered into the barber shop to be shaved. The barber gave his face an extra good soaping and left him, at the same time seating himself to read. The Englishman kept quiet for a few minutes, when, seeing his attendant reading, he blurted out: "Why don't you shave me, sir?" "You will have to go up the street for your shave," quietly replied the barber. "We only lather here." "Not for Vacation Use.

BOTH GAINED Man and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts. The notion that meat is necessary for real strength and the foundation of solid flesh is no longer as prevalent as formerly. Excessive meat eaters are usually sluggish a part of the time because they are not able to fully digest their food, and the undigested portion is changed into what is practically a kind of poison that acts upon the blood and nerves, thus getting all through the system. "I was a heavy meat eater," writes an Ills, man, "and up to two years ago, was In very poor health. I suffered with indigestion so that I only weighed 95 pounds.
